CIVIC BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Civic BanCorp and
   subsidiary (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally
   accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the
   opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made to fairly
   present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
   interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements
   should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
   for the year ended December 31, 1998. The results of operations and cash
   flows are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the complete
   fiscal year.

   The weighted average shares outstanding and per share amounts for all periods
   presented have been adjusted to give effect for a 5% stock dividend payable
   in May 1999.

2. NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS

   In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No.
   137, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
   - Deferral of Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." Statement No. 137
   defers the effective date of Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
   Instruments and Hedging Activities" for one year. Statement No. 133 is now
   effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 2000. This statement
   requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
   liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

OVERVIEW

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company reported net income of
$4,325,000, or $.89 earnings per diluted share compared to a net income of
$4,225,000 or $.83 earnings per diluted share for the same period of the prior
year. The annualized return on average assets was 1.48% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to 1.64% for the same period of the prior
year. The annualized return on average shareholders' equity for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was 13.12% and 14.06%, respectively.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide additional
information on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company
and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 and the Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q filed in fiscal 1999. Certain statements in this discussion constitute
"forward looking statements" and actual results could differ materially from
those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements. Factors which that
might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, interest rate
risks, asset quality, general economic conditions, legislative or regulatory
changes, increases in personnel or commercial customers' bankruptcies, and "Year
2000" information systems compliance being more difficult or more expensive to
complete than expected. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or
publicly release the results of any revision to these forward looking
statements. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other
documents the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $16.0
million, increasing $1.0 million or 6.9% from net interest income of $15.0
million for the same period in 1998. The increase in net interest income was
primarily due to an increase in the volume of average earning assets which was
partially offset by an decline in the average rate earned on those assets.

Total interest income for the first nine months of 1999 equaled $22.2 million,
an increase of $.9 million from interest income earned for the same period in
1998. The increase in total interest income is primarily attributed to the
increase in volume of earning assets.  Total average earning assets increased
$46.1 million or 14.4% to $367.1 million for the first nine months of 1999
compared to $321.0 million for the same period in 1998. Offsetting the impact on
total interest income due to the growth in earning assets was a decline in the
average rate earned on those assets of 78 basis points from 8.98% to 8.20% for
the same periods presented.

Total interest expense for the first nine months of 1999 was $6.1 million a
decrease of  $.2 million or 2.5% from the $6.3 million for the first nine months
of 1998. The decrease in interest expense was due to decreases in the average
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities which was partially offset by the
increase in the volume of average interest bearing liabilities. The average rate
paid on interest bearing liabilities declined 55 basis points to 3.35% from
3.90% due to the declining interest rate environment. Average interest bearing
liabilities increased $29 million or 13.5% to $245 million from $216 million
for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin declined 40 basis points to 5.96% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 from 6.36% for the same period of the prior year.  The
decrease in the margin is attributed to a greater decline in the average rate
earned on earning assets of 78 basis points relative to the decrease in the
average rate paid on interest bearing deposits of 55 basis points.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan loss is charged to operations and increases the allowance
for future loan losses. The amount of the provision is dependent on many factors
which include the current amount of the allowance for loan losses, growth in the
loan portfolio, net charges against the allowance, changes in the composition of
the portfolio, the value of collateral on problem loans, recommendations by
regulatory authorities and general economic conditions among others. The
provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$165,000 as compared to $113,000 for the same period of the prior year. The
increase in the provision was based principally on the growth in the loan
portfolio. See "Allowance for Loan Losses" for further discussion.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $1,161,000 and $1,553,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Included in other non-interest income
in 1999 were gains on the disposition of stock warrants of $290,000. Included in
other non-interest income for the first nine months of 1998  were gains of
$875,000 on the disposal of foreclosed assets and other nonearning assets.
Customer service fees increased $86,000 or 14.3% to $687,000 for the first nine
months of 1999 relative to $601,000 for the same period of the prior year due an
increase in the number of deposit accounts.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $10.0 million for the nine months period ended
September 30, 1999, an increase of $688,000 or 8.5% relative to $9.4 million for
the same period of the prior year. Salaries and employee benefits for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 increased $527,000 or 9.4% from the same period
in 1998.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits is associated with
increases in the number of employees and normal promotion and merit increases.
There were 115 full time equivalent employees as of September 30, 1999 as
compared to 109 at September 30, 1998.

Increased equipment expenses of $113,000 or 17.6% reflect the addition and
testing of computer hardware, software applications and the software maintenance
fees associated with preparation for Year 2000. Increased data processing
expenses are related to increased loan and deposit activity combined with
general cost escalation.

The following table summarizes the significant components of noninterest expense
for the dates indicated.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the nine months of 1999 decreased to
$2,674,000 from $2,875,000 for the same period of the prior year. These
provisions represent effective tax rates of 38% and 41%, respectively.  The
effective rate has decreased for 1999 due to the increase in tax exempt
municipal securities and an increase in interest income earned in loans to
customers located in state designated enterprise zones which have favorable
state income tax benefits.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans

Average loans for the first nine months of 1999 have increased $32 million or
14.7% to $253 million from an average of $221 million for the same period of the
prior year. Total loans at September 30, 1999 have increased $47 million or
20.2% from December 31, 1998. The growth in the loan portfolio during the first
nine months of 1999 is attributed to a strong regional economy and an overall
strong demand for commercial loans.

The Bank concentrates its lending activities on commercial and other non-
construction related real estate secured loans primarily with commercial
businesses. Installment and other consumer loans are originated with the owners
and principals of companies with whom the Bank maintains commercial
relationships. The Bank maintains a limited portfolio of real estate
construction loans as the risks associated with real estate construction lending
are generally considered to be higher than risks associated with other forms of
lending. However, the Bank continues to fund real estate construction
commitments on a limited basis with relatively stringent underwriting criteria.
Real estate construction loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding were
3.7% at September 30, 1999 compared to 4.6% at September 30, 1998.

Other real estate loans consist of mini-perm loans and land acquisition loans
which are primarily owner-occupied and are generally granted based on the rental
or lease income stream generated by the property. Other real estate loans
totaled $78.0 million at September  30, 1999, an increase of  $18.5 million or
31.2% from September 30, 1998.

The following table sets forth the amount of loans outstanding in each category
and the percentage of total loans outstanding for each category at the dates
indicated.

Non-Performing Assets

The Company's' policy is to recognize interest income on an accrual basis unless
a loan becomes impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when it becomes
probable that the Company will not recognize all amounts due under the original
terms of the loan agreement. At the time a loan is judged to be impaired, the
accrual of interest is discontinued and any accrued, but uncollected interest is
reversed. Thereafter, all payments are applied against principal until principal
is fully recovered with subsequent collections recognized as interest income as
they are received.

At September 30,1999, the recorded investment in loans considered to be impaired
was $596,000 which approximates the fair value of the supporting collateral of
those loans and accordingly they do not have an associated allowance for loan
loss.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the average recorded
investment in impaired loans was $.3 million.  Impaired loans are placed on non-
accrual status, however, if interest on these loans had been recognized, such
income would have approximated $35,000 for the first nine months of 1999.

The Company has an active credit administration function, which includes the
regular use of an external loan review firm, that periodically reviews all loans
to identify potential problem credits using quality standards and criteria
similar to those of regulatory agencies. Loans receiving lesser grades are
considered to be classified and fall into "substandard," "doubtful," or "loss"
categories. Substandard loans are characterized as having one or more defined
weaknesses which could result in a loss to the Company if the deficiencies are
not corrected. Doubtful loans have the weakness of substandard loans with the
added complication that those weaknesses are less likely to be remedied and are
of a character that increase the probability of a principal loss. A loan
classified as a loss is considered uncollectable and is discharged against the
allowance.

The following table sets forth the classified assets as of the dates indicated.

The increase in total classified loans at September 30, 1999 relative to
December 31, 1998 consists primarily of four credits totaling $5.7 million. One
credit, which has an outstanding balance of $950,000, was placed on a non-
accrual status subsequent to September 30, 1999 and the Bank is presently in
negotiations with the borrower. The remaining three loans are supported by
assets and personal or other third-party guarantees and the is Bank working to
remedy the loans' respective credit weaknesses. Management has reviewed the
reserves specific for these loans and believes they are adequate as of September
30, 1999.

As of September 30, 1999, with the exception of the aforementioned classified
loans and nonperforming assets, management was not aware of any loans about
which is has material reservations regarding the borrower's ability to comply
with existing loan repayment terms or which might result in such loans becoming
impaired or classified at some future date. Management cannot, however predict
the impact of future economic events or conditions not the impact such an
environment may have on the Company's loan portfolio. Accordingly, there can be
no assurances that other loans will not become impaired or classified in the
future.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan loss is established through a provision for loan loss,
the amount of which is based on many factors. See "Provision for Loan Losses."
The allowance is increased by provisions charged against earnings and reduced by
net loan charge-offs. Loans are charged off when they are judged to be
uncollectable. Recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recorded only
when cash is received.

The policy of the Company is to review loans in the portfolio to identify
potential problem credits and to assess the credit quality of the loan
portfolio. Specific allocations are made for loans where the probability of a
loss can be defined and reasonably estimated while the balance of the
allocations are based on the size of the portfolio, delinquency trends,
historical data, industry averages and general economic conditions in the
Company's market area.

Although management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate for
both potential losses of identified credits and estimated inherent losses in the
portfolio, future provisions will be subject to continuing evaluations of the
portfolio, and if the economy declines or the quality of the loan portfolio
deteriorates, additional provisions may be required.

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for loan losses for
the periods indicated:

Deposits

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, average deposits totaled $339
million, an increase of $40 million or 13.3% from $299 million for the same
period in 1998. The Company emphasizes developing total client relationships
with its customers as a means to increase its core deposit base and generally
expects average loans to increase as average loan volume increases. The table
below sets forth information regarding the Bank's average deposits by amount and
percentage of total deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Liquidity risk refers to the Banks' ability to acquire funds to meet loan
demand, to fund deposit withdrawals and to service other liabilities as they
become due. The Banks' exposure to liquidity risk is monitored monthly by the
Risk Management Committee which includes members of the Board of Directors and
Executive Management. The committee monitors such liquidity factors as maturing
loans and time deposits, unadvanced loan commitments, regional economic
conditions and historical seasonality to minimize the exposure to liquidity
risk.

To augment liquidity, the Bank has informal federal funds borrowing arrangements
with correspondent banks totaling $35.0 million. The Bank is a member of the
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and through membership has the ability
to pledge qualifying collateral for short term (up to six months) and long term
(up to five years) borrowing.  At September 30, 1999 the Bank had no outstanding
borrowings against these arrangements. Additionally, at September 30, 1999,
unpledged government securities that are available to secure additional
borrowing in the form of reverse repurchase agreements totaled approximately
$50.8 million. At September 30, 1998 the Bank had no reverse repurchase
agreements.

The liquidity position of the Company decreased during the first nine months of
1999 as cash and cash equivalents of $64.5 million and $7.8 million were used by
investing and financing activities, respectively, owning to  the growth in the
loan and investment securities portfolio and the decline in total deposits
relative to December 31, 1998. Net cash and cash equivalents of $4.5 million
were provided by operating activities.

The liquidity position of the Company may be expressed as a ratio defined as (a)
cash, Federal funds sold, other unpledged short term investments and marketable
securities, including those maturing after one year, divided by (b) total assets
less pledged securities. Using this definition at September 30, 1999, the
Company had a liquidity ratio of 24.82% as compared to 38.9% at December 31,
1998.  The decrease in liquidity position reflects the shift in earning assets
from overnight sales of Federal funds to the loan portfolio. Federal Funds sold
at September 30, 1999 were $3.8 million as compared to $73.0 million at December
31, 1998.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders' equity increased to $44.6 million at September 30, 1999 from
$41.8 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in equity reflects retained
income earned during the first nine months of 1999 of $4.3 million which was
partially offset by the repurchase of common stock, net of incentive stock
option exercises, of $1.1 million and an adjustment to capital of $.4 million
for the net unrealized loss on the securities classified as available for sale,
net of deferred income taxes.

The Company and the Bank are subject to capital adequacy guidelines issued by
the Federal Reserve Board of Governors which require a minimum risk-based
capital ratio of 8%. At least 4% must be in the form of "Tier 1" capital which
consists of common equity, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority
interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. "Tier 2" capital
consists of cumulative and limited-life preferred stock, mandatory convertible
securities, subordinated debt and, subject to certain limitations, the allowance
for loan losses. General loan loss reserves included in Tier 2 capital cannot
exceed 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

At September 30, 1999 the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 14.14%.

ratios as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

Year 2000

The Company is working to resolve the potential impact of Year 2000 on it's
computer system and the associated software applications. If the Company and
it's third party software venders are unable to address this issue in a timely
manner, there could substantial financial risk to the Company. Contingency plans
include the conversion to alternative Y2K compliant applications, outsourcing of
critical functions to third-party providers or interim manual processing. In the
worst case scenario, the Company would retain sufficient additional staffing to
convert to manual processing. The added expense in this scenario would be a
function of the number of applications requiring such manual processing and the
duration of time until a Y2K compliant application could be acquired, tested and
installed.

To insure this does not occur, the Company formed a committee of representatives
from all operational areas within the Bank. This committee convenes on a monthly
basis and reports quarterly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
The Committee has developed an action plan which includes five phases. The
Awareness and Assessment Phases included forming a committee of appropriate
members, preparing an inventory of all hardware and software applications,
identifying mission-critical systems and developing an overall plan to address
the issue. These Phases were completed in December 1997. The Renovation Phases
included implementing the changes in hardware and software necessary to bring
the computer system compliant with Year 2000 processing. The Validation and
Implementation Phases include testing and installation of Year 2000 compliant
hardware and software applications. The Renovation, Validation and
Implementation Phases for Mission Critical Systems was completed in December
1998 and for non-mission critical systems in September 1999.

The Company has also examined "environmental systems providers" which include
such services as building elevators, telephone and alarm systems for Year 2000
compliance and has received certifications that they will be Year 2000
compliant. However, due to the nature of many of the environmental applications,
such as the utility companies, the Company will be unable to test and validate
compliance.

                                       16
<PAGE>

Additionally, the Company has identified customers who have a material loan or
deposit relationship with the Bank and is monitoring the Year 2000 readiness of
those customers and assessing the overall risk to the Company resulting from the
status of such customers' Year 2000 compliance.

The primary cost associated with the Company's efforts to review, test and
validate its computer applications for Year 2000 compliance has been and will
continue to be the reallocation of internal resources. The Company has expensed
approximately $150,000 through September 30, 1999, relating to its Year 2000
compliance efforts and anticipates expenses of $20,000 for the remainder of
1999.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market
changes that affect market sensitive instruments.  The Company's primary market
risk is interest rate risk.  Interest rate risk occurs as a result of interest
sensitive assets and liabilities not repricing at the same time or by the same
amount and is quantified by estimating the potential gain or loss in the market
value of assets and net interest income that can result from changes in interest
rates.  The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is monitored monthly by the
Risk Management Committee which includes members of the Board of Directors and
Senior Management.  The Company attempts to manage its exposure to changes in
interest rates; however, due to its size and the direct competition from major
banks, the Company must offer products which are competitive in the market
place, even if less than optimum with respect to interest rate exposure.

The Company's balance sheet position at September 30, 1999 was asset sensitive
due to the significant amount of variable rate loans.  Generally, if more assets
than liabilities reprice at a given time in a rising rate environment, net
interest income will increase, and in a declining rate environment, net interest
income would deteriorate.  Management believes there has been no significant
change in the Bank's market risk exposure disclosed in the Company's Annual
Report of Form 10-K for the year December 31, 1998.
