WESTERN SIERRA BANCORP (Continued)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial information for Western Sierra Bancorp and Subsidiaries (the
"Company") included in this document is unaudited (although the December 31,
1999 information is derived from audited financial statements) but has been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial statements and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and, in the opinion of management, includes all
adjustments (normal recurring entries only) necessary for a fair presentation of
results for such interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with SEC rules
and regulations. These statements should therefore be read in conjunction with
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Effective April 30, 1999, Lake Community Bank and Roseville 1st Community
Bancorp were merged into the Company in stock-for-stock transactions which were
accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Accordingly,
the Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated for all
periods prior to the business combinations.

In preparing such consolidated financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for
the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
include, but are not limited to, risks from changes in economic/monetary policy;
changes in interest rates, both paid and received; inflation or deflation; risks
inherent in making loans; growth of loans and other assets; adequacy of
allowance of loan losses and value of collateral; assessment of problem loans;
fluctuations in consumer spending; demand for other bank products and services;
dependence on senior management; technology changes; ability to increase market
share; expense projections; system systems conversion costs; acquisition costs
and other uncertainties associated with the proposed acquisition of Sentinel
Community Bank; changes in accounting policies and practices; costs and effects
of litigation and other uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

NOTE E - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 133,
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, which was
subsequently amended by SFAS 137 to delay the effective date of SFAS 133 to
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. This Statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires that entities recognized all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those
instruments at fair value. Management does not believe that the adoption of
SFAS 133 will have a significant impact on its financial position and results
of operations when implemented.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain matters discussed or incorporated by reference in the Quarterly
Report on form 10-QSB are forward-looking statements that are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, variances in actual versus projected growth, changes in rates
charged on interest-earning assets and interest-paying liabilities, credit
quality and effects of competition. Therefore, the information set forth
therein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects
of the Company.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased by 16.76% to $457.6 million at June 30, 2000, from
$391.9 million at December 31, 1999. Total deposits increased by 20.48% to
$413.5 million at June 30, 2000 from $343.2 million at December 31, 1999.
This increase in deposits resulted in the corresponding increase in total
assets. The Company's total assets increased 65.7 million or 16.76% from
$391.9 million at Dec. 31, 1999 to 457.6 at June 30, 2000. This increase is
primarily invested in a $34.5 million increase in Federal Funds sold and a
$27.3 million increase in the net loan portfolio. The majority of the
increases are directly attributable to efforts of Management to increase
investment and lending activity. _During the same period, deposits increased
$70.3 million or 20.48% from $343.2 million at Dec. 31, 1999 to $413.4
million at June 30, 2000. This increase is primarily due to an increase in
the company's volume of time deposits which totaled $201 million at June 30,
2000 compared to $136 million at December 31, 1999, a $35 million increase.
Advances from the FHLB decreased 1.3 million from $9 million at Dec. 31, 1999
to $7.7 million at June 30, 2000. During the same period Federal funds
purchased decreased from $6 million to zero. The Company had $1.691 million
and $1.938 million in unrealized losses (net of deferred tax benefits) at
June 30, 2000 and Dec. 31, 1999, respectively from market gains on the
company's equity securities offset by market losses on the company's
available-for-sale investment and mortgage-backed portfolios.

Net loans totaled $297.9 million at June 30, 2000, representing a 73.20% loan
to deposit ratio, compared to net loans of $270.6 million at December 31,
1999, representing a 80.17% loan to deposit ratio. The decrease in loan to
deposit ratio is due primarily to the rapid increases in deposits. This
deposit growth is temporarily invested in Federal Funds sold. Management
expects loans to grow during the remainder of 2000. In management's opinion,
the allowance for loan losses, totaling $4.0 million at June 30, 2000
adequately provides for possible loan losses. This allowance represents 1.32%
of gross loans outstanding at the end of the second quarter.

NET INTEREST INCOME

                                       9
<PAGE>


Interest income increased 22.05% to $8,492 thousand for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 from $6,958 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The
increased interest income on loans and investments was primarily due to an
increase in the average amount of Federal funds sold and an increase in the
interest rates realized on loans as a result of changes in market conditions
during the quarter ending June 30, 2000 as compared to the quarter ended June
30, 1999.

Interest expense increased 38.60% to $3,648 thousand for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 from $2,632 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in interest expense was the result of the increase in interest
bearing deposits and an overall increase in interest rates throughout the
economy.

NET INTEREST INCOME (Continued)

(1) Loan amounts include nonaccrual loans, but the related interest income has
been included only for the period prior to the loan being placed on a nonaccrual
basis.

(2) Applicable nontaxable yields have not been calculated on a
taxable-equivalent basis, based on a 40% average tax rate.

NON-INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES

Non-interest income decreased 5.37% to $811 thousand for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 from $857 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This
decrease was due to a decrease in the gains on the sale of loans and fees on
the packaging of loans by the mortgage department.

The allocation to the Provision for Loan Losses for the second quarter of 2000
was $180 thousand as compared to an allocation of $185 thousand for the second
quarter of 1999.

Other expenses increased 20.10% to $4,684 thousand for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 from $3,900 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. These
expenses represent the operational and administrative expenses of the
Company. In addition to normal recurring expenses, the second quarter of 2000
included $899 thousand in non-recurring merger related costs. The prior year
quarter ended June 30, 1999 included $110 thousand in these types of costs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000

NET INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased 17.63% to $16,103 thousand for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $13,690 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
increased interest income on loans and investments was primarily due to a change
in the mix of the investment securities to loans and (see attached).

Interest expense increased 27.44% to $6,752 thousand for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $5,298 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in interest expense was the result of the increase in interest bearing
accounts and certificates of deposits in 2000 over the same period in 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 (Continued)

NET INTEREST INCOME (Continued)

(1) Loan amounts include nonaccrual loans, but the related interest income has
been included only for the period prior to the loan being placed on a nonaccrual
basis.

(2) Applicable nontaxable yields have been calculated on a taxable-equivalent
basis, based on a 40% average tax rate.

NON-INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES

Non-interest income decreased 10% to $1,604 thousand for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $1,779 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
This increase was due to a decrease in the gains on the sale of loans and
fees on the packaging of loans by the mortgage department.

The allocation to the Provision for Loan Losses for the first six months of 2000
was $340 thousand as compared to an allocation of $440 thousand for the first
six months of 1999. Net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled
$131 thousand as compared to net losses which totaled $140 thousand for the same
period in 1999.

Other expenses increased 11.25% to $8,366 thousand for the six months ended June
30, 2000 from $7,520 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1999. These
expenses represent the operational and administrative expenses of the company
and include the aforementioned non-recurring merger related expenses.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $1,519 thousand as
compared to net income of $1,476 thousand for the six months ended June 30,
1999.

LIQUIDITY

The Company's bank subsidiaries have a combined asset and liability
management program allowing them to monitor and maintain interest margins
during times of both rising and falling interest rates and to maintain
sufficient liquidity. Liquidity at each Bank subsidiary consists of cash and
due from banks, investments not pledged, federal funds sold and loans
available-for-sale. In addition, the bank subsidiaries maintain lines of
credit with several correspondent banks and lines of credit with the Federal
Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank. At June 30, 2000 the bank
subsidiaries had a $8.6 million in short-term borrowings compared to a $15.3
million balance at December 31, 1999. It is the Company's intention to use
some of its deposit growth to retire this debt.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders equity increased to $32.1 million at June 30, 2000 from
$30.9 million at December 31, 1999. The change was primarily due to net
income of $1,519 thousand during the six month period and a change in the
effect of the unrealized loss on available for sale securities of $247
thousand.

The Company's bank subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action,
each bank subsidiary must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items
as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators
about components, risk weighting and other factors.

</TABLE>

The Company and its bank subsidiaries meet all the regulatory capital
requirements of a "well capitalized" institution.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE REGARDING MARKET RISK

The Company's bank subsidiaries periodically perform asset/liability analysis to
assess the sensitivity to changing market conditions. The following information
is extracted from the Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission effective December 31, 1999.

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market price and rates.
The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in
its loan and deposit functions and management activity monitors and manages this
inherent risk exposure. The Company does not have any market risk sensitive
instruments entered into for trading purposes. Management uses several different
tools to monitor its interest risk rate. One measure of exposure to interest
rate risk is gap analysis. A positive gap for a given period means that the
amount of interest-bearing assets maturing or otherwise repricing within such
period is greater than the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or
otherwise repricing within the same period. The Company has a positive gap. In
addition, interest shock simulations are used to estimate the effect of certain
hypothetical rate changes. Based on these shock simulations, net interest income
is expected to rise with increasing rates and fall with declining rates.

The Company's positive gap is the result of the fact that the majority of its
investments have terms greater than five years on the asset side. On the
liability side, the majority of time deposits have average terms of
approximately six months, while savings accounts and other interest-bearing
transaction accounts have no contractual maturity date.

Taking into consideration that savings accounts and other interest-bearing
transaction accounts typically do not react immediately to changes in interest
rates, management has added loans tied to indices, which change at a slower rate
than prime and more closely match liabilities. In addition, most of the
investments are held in the available-for-sale category in order to be able to
react to changes in interest rates.

There have not been any significant changes in the risk management profile since
December 31, 1999. See the Form 10-KSB filed effective that date for more
specific information.
