Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On June 24, 2002, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Merger Agreement
dated March 12, 2002 (the "Agreement"), the Registrant completed the
reorganization of Pacific State Bank (the "Bank") as its subsidiary (the
"Reorganization"). The Reorganization was accomplished by a reverse triangular
merger involving the Registrant, the Bank, and PSB Merger Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant formed to facilitate the
Reorganization. A copy of the Agreement is filed with this report as Exhibit
99.1 and is incorporated in this item by reference.

     Pursuant to the Agreement, PSB Merger Corporation was merged into the Bank
with the Bank as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"), and each share of the
Bank's common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (813,207 shares)
was converted into one share of the Registrant's common stock. No other
consideration was paid by the Registrant. Registrant will continue to operate
the business of the Bank as it has been previously conducted. A copy of the
