PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (excluding statements of fact or historical financial information) involve
forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are
subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following factors: competitive pressure in the banking industry increases significantly; changes in the
interest rate environment that reduce margins; other changes in the interest rate environment; general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, that are less favorable than expected,
resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and an increase in the provision for possible loan and lease losses; the loss of key personnel; changes in the regulatory
environment; changes in business conditions; volatility of rate sensitive deposits; operational risks including data processing system failures or fraud; asset/liability matching risks and liquidity
risks; and changes in the securities markets. In addition, such risks and uncertainties include mortgage banking activities, merchant card processing, concentration of lending activities; the impact
of the California energy shortage; and the effects of terrorism, including the events of September 11, 2001 and thereafter, and the conduct of the war on terrorism by the United States and its
allies. Therefore, the information set forth herein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of California Independent Bancorp and Feather River State Bank (collectively,
the "Company").



California Independent Bancorp ("CIB") is a California corporation and the bank holding company for Feather River State Bank (the "Bank"), both located in Yuba
City, California. CIB was incorporated on October 28, 1994 and became the bank holding company for the Bank on May 2, 1995, pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended
("BHC Act").

The
Bank was incorporated as a California state banking corporation on December 1, 1976 and commenced operations on April 6, 1977. On October 1, 1996, the Bank
acquired an equipment leasing company, E.P.I. Leasing Co., Inc. ("EPI"), and operates it as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. As a part of the Company's restructuring efforts, it is
anticipated that the business affairs of EPI will be dissolved following the orderly wind-down of the remaining lease portfolio. On June 25, 1984, the Bank formed
Yuba-Sutter Financial Services Corporation ("Yuba-Sutter") as a wholly-owned subsidiary. This subsidiary is inactive.

At
December 31, 2001, CIB had four employees, of which three serve as executive officers of the Bank. The Bank at December 31, 2001, employed 145 persons, including 25
part-time employees, 6 executive officers and 49 other officers. None of the Company's employees is currently represented by a union or covered under a collective bargaining agreement.
Management believes that its employee relations are excellent.

CIB
itself does not engage in any business activities other than ownership of the Bank. CIB's primary asset is its ownership of the Bank's stock, and the dividends paid by the Bank are
the CIB's primary source of income. At December 31, 2001, the Company had consolidated assets of $306,167,695, deposits of $275,576,069, gross loans and leases of $192,281,591, and
shareholders' equity of $27,213,127.

The Bank engages in a broad range of financial services activities. Its primary market is located in the northern portion of the Sacramento Valley, with a total
of nine branches in Yuba City, Marysville, Colusa, Arbuckle, Wheatland, Woodland, Lincoln, and Roseville, California, serving Sutter, Yuba, Colusa, Yolo, and Placer Counties, and secondarily,
Sacramento, El Dorado, Butte, and Glenn counties. All of the Bank's branches are located in areas that are in the periphery of housing for those individuals who work in the growing Sacramento area.

The
total population base, in the nine counties served by the Bank, is approximately 1,964,000 people. The economic base of the Bank's primary operating territory is predominantly
agricultural in nature. A wide variety of food crops are produced in the area. The leading agricultural commodities produced in the Bank's trade area include peaches, tomatoes, prunes, rice, and
almonds. Plentiful water for irrigation and quality soils result in excellent agricultural diversification. In addition to agriculture, western Placer County is one of California's fastest growing
regions. Western Placer County is developing into a high-tech, light industry and retail center, and Lincoln, in particular, is becoming a large retirement community with developments by
Del Webb and U.S. Homes.

The
Bank currently has no applications pending to open additional branch offices. The Bank may increase the number of its banking facilities in its trade areas when such expansion is
appropriate. The Bank's expansion program is dependent on obtaining the necessary governmental approvals, governmental monetary policies, and competition. No assurance can be given that all or any
part of the Bank's expansion program can be accomplished without the Bank being required to raise additional capital.

The
Bank is engaged in the commercial banking business, including accepting demand, savings and time deposits and making commercial, real estate, agricultural, and consumer loans. The
Bank also offers installment note collection, issues cashier's checks and money orders, sells traveler's checks, and provides bank-by-mail, night depository, safe deposit
boxes, ATMs, Visa debit cards, and other customary banking services. The Bank offers its customers home banking services, whereby the customers can make transfers between accounts, pay bills, receive
balance inquiries and statements via their personal computer or telephone. The Bank does not provide trust or international banking services. Moreover, it does not plan to do so in the near future.



Most of the Bank's deposits are obtained from individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, and professionals. The Bank is able to attract and retain these
deposits through advertising in the local media and the reputation the Bank has established in the communities it serves. No single depositor or group of related depositors control a significant
amount of the Bank's total deposits. The loss of any one depositor or group of related depositors should not have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Bank. The Bank is a member of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). As a result, deposit accounts held with the Bank are insured in accordance with the FDIC's rules and regulations.



The Bank engages in a full complement of lending activities, including agricultural, real estate, commercial, and consumer loans.

The
Bank makes real estate loans secured by residential, agricultural, and commercial property. Residential loans are made to purchase or refinance one to four family residences or
multi-family residential properties and are secured by a first deed of trust on the property, except for loans to improve existing properties that are secured by junior liens. The maximum
loan-to-value ratio for these

4

---

loans is 90% of the real estate's appraised value. Loans secured by agricultural property include mortgages, loans for farm residences, and other improvement loans. Such agricultural loans are
secured by a first lien on real estate. The maximum loan-to-value ratio for farmland is 70% of the real estate's appraised value. Commercial real estate loans are made to owner
and non-owner occupied businesses for such purposes as offices, warehouses, professional buildings, retail, and storage facilities. The maximum loan-to-value ratio
for commercial properties is 75% of the real estate's appraised value. As of December 31, 2001, these types of real estate secured loans totaled $100,685,224, or 52.4% of the Bank's loan
portfolio.

The
Bank also makes real estate construction and development loans for acquisition of raw land to be developed into subdivisions for the construction of one to four family and
multi-family housing, and for commercial real estate construction. These loans are secured by a first deed of trust and have maximum loan to value ratios ranging from 60% to 80% of the project's
appraised value at completion, depending upon the type of project. As of December 31, 2001, the Bank had construction and development loans of $32,268,227, representing 16.8% of the Bank's loan
portfolio.

The
Bank makes a variety of commercial and industrial loans to small-to-medium-sized businesses for working capital, inventory, accounts receivable, equipment,
and general improvements. Typically, the Bank obtains a security interest in the collateral being financed or in other available assets of the customer. Loan to value ratios vary but generally do not
exceed 75%. As of December 31, 2001, the Bank had loans for these purposes of $26,763,479, representing 13.9% of the Bank's loan portfolio.

Additionally,
the Bank has made Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans since its inception. The Bank offers both SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 real estate guaranteed loans ranging from
amounts of $50,000 to $2,000,000. SBA 7(a) loans are for such purposes as working capital, inventory, and other purposes and are guaranteed by the SBA up to 80%. SBA 504 loans are made to finance
commercial real estate.

Furthermore,
the Bank offers Business and Industry guaranteed loans through the Rural Development Agency ("RDA"). These loans are designated for businesses that create jobs in rural
areas. RDA loans are in amounts up to $10 million and are 80%-90% guaranteed by the RDA. The Bank generally sells the guaranteed portion of its SBA and RDA loans in the secondary
market.

Agricultural
loans are primarily made to finance agricultural production expenses generally as non-revolving lines of credit that are drawn upon when crop expenses are
incurred and are repaid as crop sale proceeds are received. Crops and crop proceeds typically secure these loans. The Bank generally requires a repayment margin of 25% for permanent plantings (i.e.,
tree and vine crops) and 20% for row crops. The Bank participates in the Farm Service Agency ("FSA" an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture) guaranteed loan program. The program allows the
Bank to obtain loan note guarantees on agricultural loans of up to 90% of the loan amount for eligible farmers. As of December 31, 2001, the Bank had agricultural loans outstanding of
$13,329,260 (of which the FSA guaranteed approximately 21%), representing 6.9% of the Bank's total loan and lease portfolio.

Being
located in a prime agricultural area, the Bank participates in the Farmer Mac I loan program, pursuant to which it makes and then sells agricultural real estate loans to the
Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ("Farmer Mac"), and other institutional investors. In addition, the Bank participates in the Farmer Mac II loan program, pursuant to which it makes FSA
guaranteed farm real estate loans and subsequently sells the 90% guaranteed portion of these loans directly to the secondary market and retains the servicing of these loans.

The
Bank also originates mortgage loans on residential and farm properties, which it sells and/or brokers into the secondary market in order to divest itself of the interest rate risk
associated with these mostly fixed interest rate products. The purchasers and/or funders of the loans establish the underwriting criteria for residential and agricultural mortgage loans sold and/or
brokered in the

5

---

secondary market. The Company accounts for sold loans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125." These loans are sold without recourse. As of December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, total loans serviced by the Bank
for third parties were $78,062,314, $92,741,075, and $131,991,682, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, total loans sold by the Bank were $1,725,830, $760,000,
and $21,968,279, respectively.

Consumer
and installment loans are made for household, family and other personal expenditures. These loans are made on both a secured and unsecured basis. As of December 31, 2001
the Bank had a total of $4,826,959 in consumer and installment loans representing 2.5% of its loan portfolio.

The
Bank maintains commercial and industrial equipment leases that were primarily originated through its subsidiary EPI. Leases were made to a wide variety of businesses including
professional, agricultural, industrial, and construction concerns. Total net lease financing receivables as of December 31, 2001 were $11,653,824, or 6.10% of the Bank's portfolio. Although the
business affairs of EPI will be dissolved following the orderly wind-down of the remaining lease portfolio, the Bank may continue to originate or purchase equipment leases.

The
Bank also makes other miscellaneous loans that totaled $2,754,618, or 1.4% of the Bank's portfolio, as of December 31, 2001.



The Bank's investment policy is to provide the Bank with the maximum return on its investment securities consistent with safety and liquidity.

In
accordance with this policy and state laws regarding permissible investments, the Bank invests primarily in U. S. Treasury and Agency securities with a maturity or weighted average
life of 10 years or less, tax-free municipal bonds rated "A" or better by Standard and Poors or Moody's with a maturity not to exceed 13 years, and corporate bonds rated "A"
or better by Moody's or Standard and Poors with a maturity not to exceed 7 years. The Bank also invests in federal funds.

The
Bank's investment securities may also be used as collateral for public deposits and for other borrowings.



The Bank offers other financial products and services including annuities, mutual funds, mutual fund advisory service, IRAs, brokerage and custodial services,
401(k) plans, estate plans, asset management, asset consulting, charitable remainder trusts, fiduciary services, pension plans, non-qualified deferred compensation, and retirement plans.
All these investments and/or financial services are offered by a registered investment representative through the Bank's affiliation with London Pacific Securities, Inc., a registered
broker/dealer and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC").



The Bank's primary service area consists of Colusa, Placer, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba Counties. It is estimated that this service area contains 138 competitive
banking and savings and loan offices, of which other independent banks own 45 offices. Based upon total bank deposits as of June 30, 2001 (the last period for which data is available), the Bank
is third in market share in Sutter County, third in Colusa County, third in Yuba County, eleventh in Yolo County, and twenty-third in southern Placer County. The southern Placer County ranking only
takes into consideration one month of operation for the

6

---

Lincoln branch, and does not reflect the Roseville branch deposits, as it was not open until September 26, 2001.

The
banking business in California and, specifically, in the Bank's primary service area is highly competitive with respect to both loans and deposits. The business is dominated by a
relatively small number of major banks with many offices operating over a wide geographic area. Among the advantages such major banks have over the Bank are their ability to finance
wide-ranging advertising campaigns and to allocate their investment assets to regions of highest yield and demand. Such
institutions offer certain services, such as trust services and international banking, that are not offered directly by the Bank, and, by virtue of their greater total capitalization, they have
substantially higher lending limits than does the Bank. Other entities, both governmental and in private industry, seeking to raise capital through the issuance and sale of debt or equity securities
also provide competition for the Bank in the acquisition of deposits. The Bank also competes with money-market funds for deposits.

In
order to compete with major financial institutions and other competitors, the Bank relies upon the experience of its executive and senior officers in serving businesses and
individuals and upon its specialized service, local promotional activities, and the personal contacts made by its officers, directors, and employees. For customers whose loan demands exceed the Bank's
legal lending limit (15% of its capital and allowance for loan losses for unsecured loans and 25% of its capital and allowance for loan losses for certain types of secured loans), the Bank may arrange
to extend such loans on a participation basis with other financial institutions or institutional lenders. In this manner, the Bank is able to close the loan while selling a portion of the credit to a
participant.



Bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks are extensively regulated under applicable federal and/or state laws and regulations. Statutes, regulations, and
policies affecting the banking industry are frequently being reviewed, added to, or changed by Congress, the state legislature, or the federal or state supervisory agencies responsible for the
industry's oversight. Changes in the laws, regulations, or policies that impact CIB and the Bank cannot always be predicted and may have a material impact on earnings and the manner with which they
conduct business.

Discussed
below are brief summaries of certain laws, regulations, or policies that apply to the operation of bank holding companies and to the banks they own or control. The summaries
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the applicable law, regulation, or policy.



CIB is a registered bank holding company within the meaning of the BHC Act and is subject to the supervision of the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"). The FRB
requires CIB to file quarterly and annual reports and may conduct examinations of CIB and its subsidiaries.

The
FRB can require CIB to terminate an activity of, control of, liquidation of, or divestiture of certain subsidiaries or affiliates when the FRB believes that the activity or the
control of the subsidiary or affiliate constitutes a significant risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of any of its banking subsidiaries. The FRB also has the authority to regulate
provisions of certain bank holding company
debt, including authority to impose interest ceilings and reserve requirements on such debt. Under certain circumstances, CIB must file a written notice and obtain approval from the FRB prior
to the purchase or redemption of its own common stock.

Under
the BHC Act, a company generally must obtain the prior approval of the FRB before it exercises a controlling influence over, or acquires directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the
voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding company. CIB is required to obtain the FRB's prior approval before it acquires, merges, or consolidates with any bank or
bank holding

7

---

company. Additionally, any company seeking to acquire, merge, or consolidate with CIB would also be required to obtain the FRB's approval.

The
BHC Act generally prohibits CIB from acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging
directly or indirectly in activities other than banking, managing banks, or providing services to affiliates of the holding company. A bank holding company, with the approval of the FRB, may engage,
or acquire the voting shares of companies engaged, in activities that the FRB has determined to be so closely related to banking, managing, or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. A
bank holding company must demonstrate that the benefits to the public of the proposed activity will outweigh the possible adverse effects associated with such activity.

Transactions
between CIB, the Bank, and any future subsidiaries of CIB are subject to a number of other restrictions. FRB policies forbid the payment by bank subsidiaries of management
fees that are unreasonable in amount or exceed the fair market value of the services rendered (or, if no market exists, actual costs plus a reasonable profit). Additionally, a bank holding company and
its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension of credit, sale or lease of property, or furnishing of services. Subject to
certain limitations, depository institution subsidiaries of bank holding companies may extend credit to, invest in the securities of, purchase assets from, or issue a guarantee, acceptance, or letter
of credit on behalf of, an affiliate, provided that the aggregate of such transactions with affiliates may not exceed 10% of the capital stock and surplus of the institution, and the aggregate of such
transactions with all affiliates may not exceed 20% of the capital stock and surplus of such institution. CIB may borrow only from depository institution subsidiaries if the loan is secured by
marketable obligations with a value of a designated amount in excess of the loan. Further, CIB may not sell a low-quality asset to a depository institution subsidiary.

The
FRB requires CIB to maintain certain levels of capital. (See "Capital Standards.") The FRB also has the authority to take enforcement action against any bank holding company that
commits any unsafe or unsound practice or violates certain laws, regulations, or conditions imposed in writing by the FRB. (See "Prompt Corrective Action and Other Enforcement Mechanisms.")

Pursuant
to FRB regulations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an
unsafe or unsound
manner. In addition, the FRB has issued a policy that in order to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide
adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources
for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company's failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the FRB to be an
unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the FRB's regulations, or both.

CIB
is also a bank holding company within the meaning of California Financial Code section 3700. As a result, CIB and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by, and may be
required to file reports with, the California Department of Financial Institutions ("DFI").

CIB's
securities are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("the 1934 Act"). As such, the Company is subject to the
information, proxy solicitation, insider trading, and other requirements and restrictions of the 1934 Act.



As a California state chartered bank, the Bank is subject to primary supervision, periodic examination, and regulation by the DFI and the FDIC. Additionally, the
Bank is subject to certain regulations promulgated by the FRB.

8

---

If
the FDIC should determine, as a result of an examination of the Bank, that the Bank's financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity,
or other aspects of the Bank's operations are unsatisfactory or that the Bank or its management is violating, or has violated, any law or regulation, various actions are available to the FDIC to
remedy the situation. Such remedies include the power to enjoin "unsafe or unsound" practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to
issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in capital, to restrict the growth of the Bank, to assess civil monetary penalties, to remove officers and
directors and ultimately to terminate the Bank's deposit insurance, which would result in a revocation of the Bank's California charter. The DFI also has many of the same remedial powers.

Various
other requirements and restrictions under the laws of California and the United States affect the Bank's operations. State and federal statutes and regulations which relate to
many aspects of the Bank's operations include: reserve requirements against deposits, ownership of deposit accounts, interest rates payable on deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions,
borrowings, dividends,
locations of branch offices, and capital requirements. Furthermore, the Bank is required to maintain certain levels of capital. (See "Capital Standards.")



The FRB, FDIC, and other federal banking agencies have risk-based capital adequacy guidelines intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that
reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization's operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets, and transactions, such as letters of credit, unused
commitments, and recourse arrangements, that are reported as off balance sheet items. Under these guidelines, nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent amounts of off balance sheet items
are multiplied by one of several risk adjustment percentages, that range from 0% for assets with low credit risk, such as certain U.S. government securities, to 100% for assets with relatively higher
credit risk, such as business loans.

A
banking organization's risk-based capital ratios are obtained by dividing its qualifying capital by its total risk-adjusted assets and off balance sheet items.
The regulators measure risk-adjusted assets and off balance sheet items against both total qualifying capital (the sum of Tier 1 capital and limited amounts of Tier 2 capital) and Tier 1
capital. Tier 1 capital consists of common stock, retained earnings, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in certain subsidiaries, less most other intangible assets. Tier 2
capital may consist of a limited amount of the allowance for possible loan and lease losses and certain other instruments with some characteristics of equity. The inclusion of elements of Tier 2
capital are subject to certain other requirements and limitations of the federal banking agencies. Since December 31, 1992, the federal banking agencies have required a minimum ratio of
qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets and off balance sheet items of 8%, and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets and off balance sheet items of
4%.

In
addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal banking regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital to total average assets,
referred to as the leverage ratio. For a banking organization rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate banking organizations, the minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital
to total assets is 3%. It is improbable, however, that an institution with a 3% leverage ratio would receive the highest rating by the regulators since a strong capital position is a significant part
of the regulators' rating. For all banking organizations not rated in the highest category, the minimum leverage ratio is at least 100 to 200 basis points above the 3% minimum. Thus, the effective
minimum leverage ratio, for all practical purposes, is at least 4% or 5%. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the
regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios.

Federal banking agencies possess broad powers to take corrective or other supervisory action to resolve an insured depository institution's problems. Problems
that may be addressed through such actions include, but are not limited to, institutions that fall below one or more prescribed minimum capital ratios. Each federal banking agency has promulgated
regulations defining the following five categories in which an insured depository institution will be placed, based on its capital ratios: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. At December 31, 2001, the Company and the Bank exceeded all the required ratios for classification as "well capitalized."

An
institution that, based upon its capital levels, is classified as well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized may be treated as though it were in the next lower
capital category if the appropriate federal banking agency, after notice and opportunity for hearing, determines that an unsafe or unsound condition or an unsafe or unsound practice warrants such
treatment. At each successive lower capital category, an insured depository institution is subject to more restrictions. The federal banking agencies, however, may not treat a significantly
undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized unless its capital ratio actually warrants such treatment.

A
bank may fall into the critically undercapitalized category if its "tangible equity" does not exceed 2% of the bank's total assets. Federal guidelines generally define "tangible
equity" as a bank's tangible assets less liabilities. Federal regulators may, among other alternatives, require the appointment of a conservator or a receiver for a critically undercapitalized bank.
In California, the Commissioner may require the appointment of a conservator or receiver for a state-chartered bank if its tangible equity does not exceed 3% of the bank's total assets, or
$1 million.

10

In
addition to measures taken under the prompt corrective action provisions, banks may be subject to potential enforcement actions by the federal or state regulators for unsafe or
unsound practices in conducting their businesses or for violations of any law, rule, regulation, or any condition imposed in writing by the agency or any written agreement with the agency.



The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") implemented certain specific restrictions on transactions and required the regulators
to adopt overall safety and soundness standards for depository institutions related to internal control, loan underwriting and documentation, and asset growth. Among other things, FDICIA limited the
interest rates paid on deposits by undercapitalized institutions, the use of brokered deposits, and the aggregate extension of credit by a depository institution to an executive officer, director,
principal stockholder, or related interest, and reduces deposit insurance coverage for deposits offered by undercapitalized institutions for deposits by certain employee benefits accounts.

The
federal financial institution agencies published a final rule effective August 9, 1995, implementing safety and soundness standards. The FDICIA added a new section 39
to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, which required the agencies to establish safety and soundness standards for insured financial institutions covering: (1) internal controls, information
systems, and internal audit systems; (2) loan documentation; (3) credit underwriting; (4) interest rate exposure; (5) asset growth; (6) compensation, fees, and
benefits; (7) asset quality, earnings, and stock valuation; and (8) excessive compensation for executive officers, directors, or principal shareholders which could lead to material
financial loss. The agencies issued the final rules in the form of guidelines that set forth operational and managerial standards relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems, and
internal audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) asset growth; (v) earnings; and (vi) compensation, fees, and benefits.

In
addition, the federal banking agencies have also adopted safety and soundness guidelines with respect to asset quality and earnings standards. These guidelines provide six standards
for establishing and maintaining a system to identify problem assets and prevent those assets from deteriorating. Under these standards, an insured depository institution should: (i) conduct
periodic asset quality reviews to
identify problem assets; (ii) estimate the inherent losses in problem assets and establish reserves that are sufficient to absorb estimated losses; (iii) compare problem asset totals to
capital; (iv) take appropriate corrective action to resolve problem assets; (v) consider the size and potential risks of material asset concentrations; and (vi) provide periodic
asset quality reports with adequate information for management and the board of directors to assess the level of asset risk. These guidelines also set forth standards for evaluating and monitoring
earnings and for ensuring that earnings are sufficient for the maintenance of adequate capital and reserves.

If
an agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard established by the guidelines, the agency may require the financial institution to submit to the agency an
acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. Should the agency require submission of a compliance plan and the institution fails to timely submit an acceptable plan, within 30 days
of a request to do so, or to implement an accepted plan, the agency must require the institution to correct the deficiency. The agencies may elect to initiate enforcement action in certain cases
rather than rely on an existing plan, particularly where failure to meet one or more of the standards could threaten the safe and sound operation of the institution.



The power of the board of directors of an insured depository institution to declare a cash dividend or other distribution with respect to capital is subject to
statutory and regulatory restrictions that limit

11

---

the amount available for such distribution depending upon the earnings, financial condition, and cash needs of the institution, as well as general business conditions. FDICIA prohibits insured
depository institutions from paying management fees to any controlling persons or, with certain limited exceptions, making capital distributions, including dividends, if, after such transaction, the
institution would be undercapitalized.

The
FRB has issued a policy statement that a bank holding company should not declare or pay a cash dividend to its stockholders if the dividend would place undue pressure on the capital
of its subsidiary banks or if the dividend could be funded only through additional borrowings or other arrangements that might adversely affect the financial position of the bank holding company.
Specifically, a bank holding company should not continue its existing rate of cash dividends on its common stock unless its net income is sufficient to fully fund each cash dividend consistent with
its capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition. Further, as previously stated, CIB is expected to act as a source of financial strength for each of its subsidiary banks and to
commit resources to support each subsidiary bank in circumstances when it might not do so absent such policy.

CIB's
ability to pay dividends depends in large part on the ability of the Bank to pay management fees and dividends to CIB. The ability of its subsidiary bank to pay dividends will be
subject to restrictions set forth in California banking law and the regulations of the FDIC.

Under
California Financial Code section 642, funds available for cash dividend payments by a bank are restricted to the lesser of: (i) retained earnings; or (ii) the
bank's net income for its three fiscal years (less any distributions to stockholders made during such period). However, with the prior approval of the California Commissioner of Financial
Institutions, California Financial Code section 643 provides that a bank may pay cash dividends in an amount not to exceed the greater of: (1) the retained earnings of the bank;
(2) the net income of the bank for its last fiscal year; or (3) the net income of the bank for its current fiscal year. However, if the Commissioner finds that the stockholders' equity
of the bank is not adequate or that the payment of a dividend would be unsafe or unsound, the Commissioner may order such bank not to pay a dividend to stockholders.

Additionally,
under FDICIA a bank may not make any capital distribution, including the payment of dividends, if, after making such distribution, the bank would be in any of the
"under-capitalized" categories under the FDIC's Prompt Corrective Action regulations.

Also,
under the Financial Institution's Supervisory Act, the FDIC has the authority to prohibit a bank from engaging in business practices that the FDIC considers unsafe or unsound. It
is possible, depending upon the financial condition of a bank and other factors, that the FDIC could assert that the payment of dividends or other payments in some circumstances might be such an
unsafe or unsound practice and thereby prohibit such payment.

Finally,
the Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on any extensions of credit to, or the issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on behalf of, CIB or other
affiliates, the purchase of, or investments in, stock or other securities thereof, the taking of such securities as collateral for loans, and the purchase of assets of CIB or other affiliates. Such
restrictions prevent CIB and such other affiliates from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by marketable obligations of designated amounts. Further, such secured loans and
investments by the Bank to or in CIB or to or in any other affiliate are limited, individually, to 10% of the Bank's capital and surplus (as defined by federal regulations), and such secured loans and
investments are limited, in the aggregate, to 20% of the Bank's capital and surplus (as defined by federal regulations). California law also imposes certain restrictions with respect to transactions
involving CIB and other controlling persons of the Bank. Additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates may be imposed on the Bank under the prompt corrective action provisions of federal
law.

On September 29, 1994, the Reigle/Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Act") was signed into law, effectively
permitting nationwide banking. The Interstate Act
provides that adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank holding companies may acquire banks in any state, even in those jurisdictions that currently bar acquisition by
out-of-state institutions, subject to deposit concentration limits. The deposit concentration limits provide that regulatory approval by the FRB may not be granted for a
proposed interstate acquisition if, after the acquisition, the acquirer on a consolidated basis would control more than 10% of the total deposits nationwide or would control more than 30% of deposits
in the state where the acquiring institution is located. The deposit concentration state limit does not apply for initial acquisitions in a state and, in every case, may be waived by the state
regulatory authority. Interstate acquisitions are subject to compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA"). States are permitted to impose age requirements not to exceed five years on
target banks for interstate acquisitions.

Branching
between states may be accomplished either by merging separate banks located in different states into one legal entity or by establishing new branches in another state.
Interstate branching is also subject to a 30% statewide deposit concentration limit on a consolidated basis and a 10% nationwide deposit concentration limit. The laws of the host state regarding
community reinvestment, fair lending, consumer protection (including usury limits), and establishment of branches shall apply to the interstate branches.

The
opening of a new branch by an out-of-state bank is not permitted unless the host state expressly permits such an opening. The establishment of an initial new
branch in a state is subject to the same conditions as apply to the initial acquisition of a bank in the host state, other than the deposit concentration limits.

The
Interstate Act permits bank subsidiaries of a bank holding company to act as agents for affiliated depository institutions in receiving deposits, renewing time deposits, closing
loans, servicing loans, and receiving payments on loans and other obligations. When acting as agent for an affiliate, a bank shall not be considered a branch of the affiliate. Any agency relationship
between affiliates must be on terms that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices. The authority for an agency relationship for receiving deposits includes the taking of deposits for an
existing account, but is not meant to include the opening or origination of new deposit accounts. Subject to certain conditions, insured savings associations that were affiliated with banks as of
June 1, 1994 may act as agents for such banks. An affiliate bank or savings association may not conduct any activity as an agent that it is prohibited from conducting as a principal.

If
an interstate bank decides to close a branch located in a low or moderate income area, it must comply with additional branch closing notice requirements. The appropriate regulatory
agency is authorized to consult with community organizations to explore options to maintain banking services in the affected community where the branch is to be closed.

To
ensure that interstate branching does not result in taking deposits without regard to a community's credit needs, the regulatory agencies have implemented regulations prohibiting
interstate branches from being used as "deposit production offices." The regulations include a provision to the effect that if loans made by an interstate branch are less than 50% of the average of
all depository institutions in the state, then the regulator must review the loan portfolio of the branch. If the regulator determines that
the branch is not meeting the credit needs of the community, it has the authority to close the branch and to prohibit the bank from opening new branches in the state.

The
Caldera, Weggeland and Killea California Interstate Banking and Branching Act of 1995 (the "Caldera Act"), effective October 2, 1995, amends the California Financial Code to,
among other matters, regulate the operations of state banks to eliminate conflicts with and to implement the

13

---

Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 discussed above. The Caldera Act includes: (1) an election to permit early interstate merger transactions;
(2) a prohibition against interstate branching through the acquisition of a branch business unit located in California without acquisition of the whole business unit of the California bank; and
(3) a prohibition against interstate branching through de novo establishment of California branch offices. The Caldera Act mandates that initial entry into California by an
out-of-state institution be accomplished by acquisition of or merger with an existing whole bank that has been in existence for at least five years.



The Bank is subject to the fair lending requirements and reporting obligations involving home mortgage lending operations and CRA activities. The CRA generally
requires the federal banking agencies to evaluate the record of a financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. A bank
may be subject to substantial penalties and corrective measures for a violation of certain fair lending laws. The federal banking agencies may take compliance with such laws and CRA obligations into
account when regulating and supervising other activities.

A
Bank's compliance with its CRA obligations is based on a performance-based evaluation system, which bases CRA ratings on the institution's lending, service, and investment performance.
When a bank holding company applies for approval to acquire a bank or other bank holding company, the FRB will review the assessment of each subsidiary bank of the applicant bank holding company, and
such records may be the basis for denying the application. Based on an examination conducted in the third quarter of 2001, the Bank was rated satisfactory in complying with its CRA obligations.



The Bank's deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") to the maximum permitted by law. This deposit insurance may be terminated by the
FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to
continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the FDIC or the institution's primary regulator.

The
FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits. As of December 31, 2001, the assessment ranged from 0 to 27 basis points per $100 of insured deposits, based
on the risk a particular institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. The risk classification is based on an institution's capital group and supervisory subgroup assignment.

Pursuant
to the Economic Growth and Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 ("EGPRA"), at January 1, 1997, the Bank began paying, in addition to its normal deposit insurance premium as a
member of the BIF, an amount equal to approximately 1.2 basis points per $100 of insured deposits toward the retirement of the Financing Corporation Bonds ("FICO Bonds") issued in the 1980s to assist
in the recovery of the savings and loan industry. Members of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), by contrast, pay, in addition to their normal deposit insurance premium, approximately 5.8
basis points. Under the EGPRA, the FDIC is not permitted to establish SAIF assessment rates that are lower than comparable BIF assessment rates. Beginning January 1, 2000, the rate paid to
retire the FICO Bonds was required to be equal for members of the BIF and the SAIF.



Environmental Protection Agency regulations excluding financial institutions from liability for the clean up of toxic materials on property held as collateral for
loans were overturned by the federal courts. Due to concerns expressed by interested parties (owners, realtors, and lenders), Congress passed amendments to the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980

14

---

("CERCLA") to reinstate certain safeguards for fiduciaries and lenders. A bank or other party acting as a fiduciary may hold property in such capacity and shall have no liability for the release or
threatened release of a hazardous substance in excess of the value of the property held in a fiduciary capacity. For example, a bank acting as trustee under the terms of a written trust agreement will
not have any liability in excess of the actual value of the assets in that particular trust. The assets of the Bank will not be at risk for a release occurring on property belonging to the trust. This
amendment does not limit the liability of the fiduciary to private parties that may have a cause of action outside the scope of CERCLA. "Fiduciary," as used in CERCLA, includes trustees, executors,
administrators, custodians, guardians, receivers, conservators, and personal representatives.

The
amendments to CERCLA include changes in the definitions contained in 42 U.S.C. section 9601(20), entitled "Definitions." A major change in the definition of "Owner" or
"Operator" has the effect of limiting the liability of a financial institution that does not participate in management of an environmentally impaired property. Section 9607 of CERCLA states
that owners and operators of a vessel or facility are liable for damages arising out of discharge of a hazardous substance on property. The amendment specifically states that a financial institution
holding a deed of trust on real property
that does not participate in the management of the operations carried out on the property is not an owner or an operator under the statute. The amendments further state that a financial institution
that forecloses on such property does not incur liability simply by the act of foreclosing on the property or through the subsequent sale of the property to a third party.



President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the "Financial Modernization Act") on November 12, 1999. The Financial Modernization
Act generally accomplishes the following:



15

---



CIB
has not determined whether it will seek an election to become a Financial Holding Company. The Board and Management are evaluating the benefits to determine whether CIB desires to
utilize any of the Financial Modernization Act's expanded powers. Since California permits state chartered commercial banks to engage in any activity permissible for national banks, the Bank should be
allowed to form subsidiaries to engage in the activities authorized by the Financial Modernization Act, to the same extent as a national bank.

CIB
does not expect that the Financial Modernization Act will have a material adverse effect on its operations in the near future. However, some commentators have projected that in the
long term the Financial Modernization Act's enactment may result in further consolidation of and increased competition in the financial services industry.



President Bush signed the USA Patriot Act of 2001 ("Patriot Act") on October 26, 2001. This legislation was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks in
New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement and the intelligence communities' ability to work together to
combat terrorism on a variety of levels. The potential impact of the Patriot Act on financial institutions is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money
laundering and financial transparency laws and requires various regulations, including:



Until
all new regulations, rules or standards have been developed; the Company is not able to predict the impact of such law on its financial condition or results of operations at this
time.



Periodically, legislation is enacted and regulations are promulgated which have the effect of increasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding
permissible activities, or affecting the competitive balance between banks and other financial services providers. It is likely that additional legislation will be introduced in Congress or in state
legislatures in the future that may impact the Company's business. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any of these proposals will be taken or adopted, or the extent to which the present or
future business of the Company may be affected.

Banking is a business that depends on interest rate differentials. In general, the difference between the interest paid by a bank on its deposits and other
borrowings and the interest rate earned by a bank on loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets comprises the major source of a bank's earnings. Thus, the earnings and growth of banks are
subject to the influence of economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also to the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the FRB. The FRB
implements national monetary policy, such an seeking to curb inflation and combat recession, by its open-market dealings in United States government securities, by adjusting the required
level of reserves for financial institutions subject to reserve requirements and through adjustments to the discount rate applicable to borrowings by banks that are members of the FRB. The actions of
the FRB in these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments, and deposits and also affect interest rates. The nature and timing of any future changes in such policies and
their impact on the Bank cannot be predicted. In addition, adverse economic conditions could make a higher provision for loan losses a prudent course and could cause higher loan loss
charge-offs, thus adversely affecting a bank's net earnings.



In September of 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 140, "Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125" ("SFAS No. 140"). This statement replaces SFAS
No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 140 revised the standard of accounting for securitizations and other
transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS' No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. The Company has adopted the
disclosure provisions related to the securitization of financial assets. All transactions entered into after the first quarter of 2001 have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 140.
This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company.

SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"

In
July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"),and SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). These Statements change the method of accounting for business combinations and goodwill in two significant ways. First, SFAS
No. 141 prohibits the use of the pooling of interests method and requires the purchase method of accounting to be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
Second, SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting method for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. As a result, goodwill will be accounted for as an asset
unless it declines in value. Companies will be required to test their goodwill valuation periodically for "impairment" or loss and to recognize any change on their books. The amortization of goodwill,
including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, which for companies with calendar year ends, will be January 1, 2002. Management does
not believe that the adoption of these Statements will have a material impact on the Company or its ability to accomplish certain business strategies.



In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS No. 143"). This Statement addresses
financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible, long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 applies to
legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets which

17

---

result from the acquisition, construction, development and the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. The Statement requires that the fair
value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs
are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2002. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.



In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"),
which replaces SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." The accounting model for
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued operations, and replaces the provision of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 30, "Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business," for the disposal of segments of a business. SFAS No. 144 requires that
those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore,
discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, are to be applied prospectively. Management does not expect that the adoption of this statement
will have a significant impact on the Company's current financial position or results of operations.



Throughout 2001, California experienced periodic shortages in the supply of electricity to the state. There has been, and there may be in the future, limited
rolling power outages or "blackouts" throughout the state. Power outages could disrupt the Company's operations, increase operating costs, and impact its borrowers ability to repay their debts.
Contingency plans to deal with the power outages
have been developed; however, the frequency of the duration of the power outages cannot be predicted. As a result, such outages could adversely affect the Company's future operating results.



The terrorists' acts of September 11, 2001, and thereafter, have had significant adverse effects upon the United States economy. Whether terrorist
activities in the future, and the actions of the United States and its allies in combating terrorism on a worldwide basis, will adversely impact the Company and the extent of such impact is uncertain.
Such events, however, have had and may continue to have, an adverse effect on the economy in the Company's market areas. Such continued economic deterioration could adversely affect the Company's
future results of operations by, among other matters, reducing the demand for loans and other products and services offered by the Bank, increasing nonperforming loans and the amounts reserved for
loan losses, and causing a decline in the Company's stock price.



On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131").
SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for a public business enterprises' reporting of information about its operating segments in its annual financial statements. The Statement requires that the
enterprises report selected information concerning operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. Additionally, the Statement

18

---

establishes requirements for related disclosures about products, services, geographic areas, and major customers.

SFAS
No. 131 requires public business enterprises to report a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets. The Statement
further requires reconciliation of total segment revenues, total segment profit or loss, total segment assets, and other amounts disclosed for segments to corresponding amounts in the enterprise's
general purpose financial statements. It requires that all public business enterprises report information about the revenues derived from the enterprise's products or services (or groups of similar
products and services), about the countries in which the enterprise earns revenues and holds assets, and about major customers regardless of whether that information is used in making operating
decisions. However, SFAS No. 131 does not require an enterprise to report information that is not prepared for internal use if reporting it would be impracticable. SFAS No. 131 is
effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997.

The
adoption of the applicable provisions of SFAS No. 131 did not have a material effect on the Company, as Management believes that it operates only in one segment, the
commercial banking segment.



There has been no material effect upon the Bank's capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position as a result of federal, state, or local provisions
regarding the discharge of materials into the environment.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Bank currently conducts its banking operations from an administrative office, a loan operations and special asset office, and nine branch offices.

The
Bank's principal branch office in Yuba City, California, is located at 777 Colusa Avenue in a modern, single-story, shopping center end building, that has drive-up
windows and off-street parking for its customers. This office was opened in 1982 and has a total square footage of 9,122.

In
1991, the Bank purchased a 3,694 square foot building located at 1005 Stafford Way, Yuba City, California, located directly behind its main branch. This building housed the Bank's
note department until March 2000. This vacant building was sold on March 30, 2001.

The
Bank purchased land for the Bank's office at 1221 Bridge Street, Yuba City, California, in 1978. In 1991, the Bank purchased a combined 14,972 square foot retail and office building

consulting service offices are located in this building.

September 1995.

The
Bank's Colusa branch office is located at 655 Fremont Street in a 2,819 square foot office building that was converted to banking quarters. The Bank owns the land and premises for

The
Bank leased the land and a module on the property located at 114 "D" Street, Wheatland, California, from March 1997 until April 1998 for its Wheatland branch office. In
April 1998, the Bank entered a new lease for the same site together with a new freestanding building. The 2,831 square foot building was completed on September 21, 1998. At that time,
the Bank relocated from the previously leased module. The term of the lease is 10 years with the option to extend the original term of this lease for two periods of five years each. The monthly
lease payment is $2,797 and is subject to annual adjustments on the anniversary of the lease commencement date.

The
Bank moved its Citrus Heights loan production office ("LPO") to a new office in Roseville in December 2000. This LPO was converted into a full-service branch on
September 26, 2001. The Bank entered into an agreement on July 26, 2000, to lease 3,816 square feet of office space at 1552 Eureka Road in Roseville. The term of this lease is
sixty-two (62) months. Commencing on October 1, 2000, lease payments of $6,296 per month are required continuing through the twenty-sixth (26) month. Between months
twenty-six (26) and fifty (50), rent will be $6,678 per month. Thereafter, the monthly payment rises to $7,060 through the end of the lease term.

On
October 18, 2000, the Bank entered into an agreement to lease a 1,200 square foot office space located at 435 South Highway 65, Suite A in Lincoln, California. The term of this
lease is five years with rent payments of $2,340 per month for the first twenty-four (24) months. Thereafter, monthly lease payments are subject to annual adjustments pursuant to
the lease agreement. This lease was amended on March 1, 2001. At that time, the Bank leased an additional 1,080 square feet of office space at the same location. Under the terms of the amended
lease, the monthly rent payment is $5,426 beginning June 1, 2001.

On
December 2, 1996, the Bank purchased a former bank branch located at 995 Tharp Road in Yuba City, California. The Bank's Loan Operations Department and Special Assets
Department are located at this facility.

Rental
expense for all premises leased by the Company totaled $143,102 for the year ended December 31, 2001. It is estimated that rental expense for leased premises will be
approximately $176,116 for 2002.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Other than routine litigation incidental to the ordinary course of the Company's business, neither CIB nor any of its subsidiary entities is a party to any
material legal proceedings nor is any of their property the subject of any such proceeding. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of all currently pending matters will not have a material
adverse affect on the Company's financial condition or the results of its operations.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

CIB's common stock is trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the trading symbol "CIBN." CIB's common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market on
July 31, 1996. Prior to that time, CIB's common stock was listed on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board and was the subject of limited trading.

The
following table presents the high and low closing sale prices of CIB's common stock for each quarterly period for the last two years as reported and as retroactively adjusted for the
effect of applicable stock dividends by the NASDAQ Stock Market:

After
adjusting retroactively for the effect of applicable stock dividends, cash dividends paid on CIB's common stock were $0.42 per share for the year ending December 31, 2001,
and $0.40 per share for the year ending December 31, 2000.

It
is currently the intention of the Board of Directors of CIB to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis. However, there is no assurance that cash dividends will be paid in the future,
as CIB's ability to pay dividends is dependent upon the earnings, financial condition, and capital requirements of CIB and the Bank, as well as legal and regulatory requirements.

Federal
and State banking and corporate laws could limit the Bank's ability to pay dividends to CIB. The FRB has issued a policy statement that a bank holding company should not declare
or pay a cash dividend to its shareholders if the dividend would place undue pressure on the capital of its subsidiary banks or if the dividend could be funded only through additional borrowings or
other arrangements that may adversely affect the financial position of the company. In addition, a bank holding company may not continue its existing rate of cash dividends on its common stock unless
its net income is sufficient to fully fund each dividend, and its prospective rate of earnings retention is sufficient to fully fund each dividend and appears consistent with its capital needs, asset
quality, and overall financial condition.

As
of March 13, 2002, there were 1,795 holders of record of CIB's common stock.
