CENTRAL
COAST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARYNOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSMarch 31,
2005 (Unaudited)

NOTE
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In
the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly Central Coast Bancorps (the
Companys) consolidated financial position at March 31, 2005,
the results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March
31, 2005 and 2004.

Certain
disclosures normally presented in the notes to the annual consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been omitted. These interim consolidated
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Companys 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 may not necessarily be
indicative of the operating results for the full year.

In
preparing such 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 changes in the near term relate to
the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Management
has determined that since all of the commercial banking products and services
offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Community Bank of
Central California, its bank subsidiary (the Bank), all branches are
located within the same economic environment and management does not allocate
resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction
activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as
a single operating segment.

Stock
split  On January 31, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a
five-for-four stock split, which was distributed to shareholders on February 28,
2005. All earnings per share data and share data related to the stock option
information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock dividend.

NOTE
2. STOCK COMPENSATION

The
Company accounts for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees and its related interpretations. No compensation expense
has been recognized in the financial statements for employee stock arrangements,
as the Companys stock option plans provide for the issuance of options at
a price of no less than the fair market value at the date of the grant.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, requires the disclosure of pro forma net income
and earnings per share had the Company adopted the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based compensation. Under SFAS No. 123R, the fair value of
stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing
models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of
freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which
significantly differ from the Companys stock option awards. These models
also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and
expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The
Companys calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following assumptions: expected life, four years following
vesting; average stock volatility of 15.3% and 16.1% for 2005 and 2004; risk
free interest rates ranging from 3.77% to 4.11% for 2005 and 2.77% to 6.57% for
2004; and no dividends during the expected term for 2005 and 2004. The
Companys calculations are based on a multiple option valuation approach
and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

A
summary of the pro forma effects to reported net income and earnings per share
as if the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair
value of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123is as follows.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|NOTE
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In
the normal course of business there are outstanding various commitments to
extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements, including
loan commitments of approximately $261,999,000 and standby letters of credit of
approximately $9,937,000 at March 31, 2005. However, all such commitments will
not necessarily culminate in actual extensions of credit by the Company.

Approximately
$30,829,000 of loan commitments outstanding at March 31, 2005 relate to real
estate construction loans that are expected to fund within the next twelve
months. The remaining commitments primarily relate to commercial revolving lines
of credit, other commercial loans and home equity lines of credit. Many of these
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the
total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each
potential borrower and the necessary collateral are evaluated on an individual
basis. Collateral varies, but may include real property, bank deposits, debt or
equity securities or business assets.

Stand-by
letters of credit are commitments written to guarantee the performance of a
customer to a third party. These guarantees are issued primarily relating to
contract performance or purchases of inventory by commercial customers and are
typically short-term in nature. Credit risk is similar to that involved in
extending loan commitments to customers and accordingly, evaluation and
collateral requirements similar to those for loan commitments are used.
Virtually all such commitments are collateralized.

NOTE
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

There
was no difference in the numerator used in the calculation of basic earnings per
share and diluted earnings per share. The denominator used in the calculation of
basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for each of the
three-month periods ended March 31 is reconciled and basic and diluted earnings
per share are calculated as follows:
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|                                                    

|There
were 15,000 option shares in the first quarter ended March 31, 2004, considered
to be antidilutive and therefore omitted from the above calculations of diluted
earnings per share. No shares were considered to be anitidilutive in the first
quarter ended March 31, 2005.

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


In
addition to the historical information contained herein, this report on Form
10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected. Changes to such risks and uncertainties, which could impact future
financial performance, include, among others, (1) competitive pressures in the
banking industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment; (3) general
economic conditions, nationally, regionally and in operating market areas,
including a decline in real estate values in the Companys market areas;
(4) the effects of terrorism, the threat of terrorism or the impact of military
conflicts; (5) changes in the regulatory environment; (6) changes in business
conditions and inflation; (7) changes in securities markets; (8) data processing
problems; (9) variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets; (10)
return on assets; (11) loan losses; (12) expenses; (13) rates charged on loans
and earned on securities investments; (14) rates paid on deposits; and (15) fee
and other noninterest income earned, as well as other factors. This entire
report should be read to put such forward-looking statements in context. To gain
a more complete understanding of the uncertainties and risks involved in the
Companys business this report should be read in conjunction with Central
Coast Bancorps annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2004 and Form 8-K current reports.


Critical
Accounting Policies


General

Central
Coast Bancorps financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements
is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of
the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. We
use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that
may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly
from the historical factors that we use. Other estimates that we use are related
to the expected useful lives of our depreciable assets. In addition GAAP itself
may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the
economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would
impact our transactions could change.


Allowance
for Loan Losses

The
allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in
our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of
accounting: (1) Statement of Financial Accountings Standards (SFAS)
No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be
accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (2) SFAS No. 114,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires
that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral,
present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the
secondary market and the loan balance.

Our
allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the formula allowance, the
specific allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these components is
determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events
occur. The formula allowance uses a historical loss view as an indicator of
future losses and as a result could differ from the loss incurred in the future.
However, since this history is updated with the most recent loss information,
the errors that might otherwise occur are mitigated. The specific allowance uses
various techniques to arrive at an estimate of the expected loss. Historical
loss information and fair market value of collateral are used to estimate those
losses. The use of these values is inherently subjective and our actual losses
could be greater or less than the estimates. The unallocated allowance addresses
losses that are attributable to various factors including economic events,
industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio have occurred, but
have yet to be recognized in either the formula or specific allowances. For
further information regarding our allowance for loan losses, see Allowance
for Loan Losses discussion later in this Item 2.


Stock
Based Awards

The
Company accounts for its stock based awards using the intrinsic value method in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and
related interpretations. Since the Companys stock option plan provides for
the issuance of options at a price of no less than the fair market value at the
date of the grant, no compensation expense has been recognized in the financial
statements.

Net
interest income for the first quarter of 2005 was $13,292,000, an increase of
$2,956,000 (28.6%) from the first quarter of 2004. Interest income for the first
quarter of 2005 was $16,865,000, an increase of $3,813,000 (29.2%) from the
first quarter of 2004. Increases in both the average earning assets and the
yields earned on the assets contributed to the substantial improvement in
interest income. The average balance of earning assets in the first quarter of
2005 was $1,099,024,000, which was an increase of $159,311,000 (17.0%) over the
prior year first quarter. The higher balances in the earning assets increased
interest income $2,441,000 in the quarter. The average yield received on earning
assets in the first quarter of 2005 was 6.22%, which was 63 basis points higher
than the 5.59% earned in the first quarter of 2004. The higher yields increased
interest income $1,372,000. The yield on earning assets reflected an increase of
19 basis points from the 6.03% earned in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Interest
expense in the first quarter of 2005 totaled $3,573,000, which was an increase
of $857,000 (31.6%) over the first quarter of 2004. Rates paid on interest
bearing liabilities have begun to move up on a year-over-year basis. The average
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities in the first quarter of 2005 increased
24 basis points to 1.88% as compared to 1.64% in the year earlier period and
increased 21 basis points from 1.67% in the fourth quarter of 2004. The higher
rates increased interest expense by $355,000 from the year earlier period.
Average balances of interest-bearing liabilities in the first quarter of 2005
increased by $106,605,000 (16.1%) over the prior year period, which added
$502,000 to interest expense.

The
impact of the above changes in volumes and rates for earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2005 resulted in an increase in the
net interest margin of 48 basis points to 4.90% compared to 4.42% in the first
quarter of 2004. While the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2005
reflected an increase over the 4.87% margin achieved in the fourth quarter of
2004, the growth in the margin was impacted by the cost of the deposits rising
faster than the yield on assets in the quarter. Pressure on deposit pricing is
expected to continue, but the net interest margin should improve slightly during
the second quarter if the Federal Reserve Board through its Federal Open Market
Committee continues to raise the interest rates. In a rising rate environment
the net interest margin is expected to improve, as the Banks variable rate
assets are expected to reprice more quickly than the interest-bearing
liabilities. Conversely, in a declining rate environment the net interest margin
is expected to decline.


Provision
for Loan Losses

The
Company provided $1,150,000 for loan losses in the first quarter of 2005 as
compared to $65,000 in the first quarter of 2004. The provision for loan losses
is based on factors, which consider the growth or decline in the level of loans,
changes in the level of nonperforming and classified assets, changing portfolio
mix and prevailing local and national economic conditions to establish the
required level of loan loss reserves. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses
to total loans was 1.86% at March 31, 2005, 1.75% at December 31, 2004 and 2.15%
at March 31, 2004. (See the Credit Risk and Allowance for Loan
Losses sections for additional discussion).


Noninterest
Income

Noninterest
income consists primarily of service charges on deposit accounts and fees for
miscellaneous services. Noninterest income was $1,054,000 in the first quarter
of 2005, an increase of $136,000 (14.8%) over the same period in 2004. Service
charges on deposit accounts were down $24,000 due to lower volume in overdraft
fees. Other fees and miscellaneous income increased $160,000 mostly due to the
Company realizing a $12,000 gain on the sale of securities as compared to a loss
of $104,000 in 2004.


Noninterest
Expense

Noninterest
expenses increased $667,000 (11.1%) to a total of $6,703,000 in the first
quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter 2004. Noninterest expenses were
higher primarily due to increased business activity and the two branches added
in 2004. The efficiency ratio for the period ended March 31, 2005 reflected a
significant decrease to 46.7% from the 53.6% realized in the first quarter of
2004. The improvement in the efficiency ratio is the result of income growing at
a faster rate than noninterest expenses.


Provision
for Income Taxes

The
Company recorded income tax expense of $2,351,000 in the first quarter of 2005
compared to $1,689,000 in the first quarter of 2004. The effective tax rate for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 37.9% compared to 34.6% for the same
period in the prior year. The effective tax rate increased as fully taxable
income has grown at a faster rate than nontaxable investment and loan income.
Also in 2004, the Company recorded a tax benefit due to a revaluation of deferred tax assets at a higher tax rate.


Securities

At
March 31, 2005, available-for-sale securities had a market value of $179,422,000
with an amortized cost basis of $180,349,000. On an amortized cost basis, the
investment portfolio increased $12,297,000 from the December 31, 2004 balance of
$168,052,000. At December 31, 2004, the pretax unrealized gain on the investment
securities was $1,099,000 compared to an unrealized loss of $927,000 at March
31, 2005. The $2,026,000 change in valuation was the result of the higher
interest rates.


Loans

The
ending loan balance at March 31, 2005 was $927,739,000, a decrease of $3,777,000
(0.4%) from the year-end 2004 balance, but an increase of $153,214,000 (19.8%)
from the March 31, 2004 balance. The most significant percentage change was in
the construction loan category as their outstanding balance increased to
$71,878,000 at March 31, 2005 from $61,366,000 (17.1%) at December 31, 2004 and
from $38,628,000 (86.1%) at March 31, 2004. The level of construction loans
approved, but not yet disbursed was $30,829,000 at March 31, 2005, a decrease of
$9,390,000 from year-end 2004 as several large projects were nearing build-out
in the first quarter. There is a continuing demand for construction loans and we
expect the pipeline to build in the coming months. The most significant change
in dollar amounts on a year-over-year basis was in the real estate other
category as loans in that category increased $82,739,000 (15.9%) from March 31,
2004 and $7,242,000 (1.2%) from December 31, 2004 to total $601,749,000 at March
31, 2005. Commercial loans were $242,361,000 at March 31, 2005, a decrease of
$19,047,000 (7.3%) from December 31, 2004 and an increase of $37,012,000 (18.0%)
from March 31, 2004. The decrease in the first quarter of 2004 was primarily due
to repayment of lines of credit that were drawn upon at year-end. Within its
primary market area, the Bank has diversified its risk both as to property type
and location. See Credit Risk below for a discussion regarding real
estate risk.


Credit
Risk

The
Bank assesses and manages credit risk on an ongoing basis through stringent
credit review and approval policies, extensive internal monitoring and
established formal lending policies. Additionally, the Bank contracts with an
outside loan review consultant to periodically examine new loans and to review
the existing loan portfolio. Management believes its ability to identify and
assess the risk and the return characteristics of the Companys loan
portfolio is critical for profitability and growth. Management strives to
continue the historically low level of loan losses by continuing its emphasis on
credit quality in the loan approval process, active credit administration and
regular monitoring. With this in mind, management has designed and implemented a
comprehensive loan review and grading system that functions to continually
assess the credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio.

Ultimately,
the credit quality of the Banks loans may be influenced by underlying
trends in the national and local economic and business cycles. The Banks
business is mostly concentrated in Monterey County. The Countys economy is
highly dependent on the agricultural and tourism industries. The agricultural
industry is also a major driver of the economies of San Benito County and the
southern portions of Santa Cruz and Santa Clara Counties, which represent the
additional market areas for the Bank. As a result, the Bank lends money to
individuals and companies dependent upon the agricultural and tourism
industries.

The
Company has significant extensions of credit and commitments to extend credit
which are secured by real estate, totaling approximately $763 million at March
31, 2005. Although management believes this real estate concentration has no
more than the normal risk of collectibility, a substantial decline in the
economy in general, or a decline in real estate values in the Banks
primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on the
collectibility of these loans. The ultimate recovery of these loans is generally
dependent on the successful operation, sale or refinancing of the real estate.
The Bank monitors the effects of current and expected market conditions and
other factors on the collectibility of real estate loans. When, in
managements judgment, these loans are impaired, a specific provision for
losses is recorded. The more significant assumptions management considers in
determining the level of impairment involve estimates of the following: lease,
absorption and sale rates; real estate values and rates of return; operating
expenses; inflation; and sufficiency of collateral independent of the real
estate including, in limited instances, personal guarantees. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, abnormally high rates of impairment due to general or local economic
conditions could adversely affect the Companys future prospects and
results of operations.

In
extending credit and commitments to borrowers, the Bank generally requires
collateral and/or guarantees as security. The repayment of such loans is
expected to come from cash flow or from proceeds from the sale of selected
assets of the borrowers. The Banks requirement for collateral and/or
guarantees is determined on a case-by-case basis in connection with
managements evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower. Collateral
held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment, income-producing properties, residences and other real property. The
Bank secures its collateral by perfecting its interest in business assets,
obtaining deeds of trust, or outright possession among other means. Loan losses
from lending transactions related to real estate and agriculture compare
favorably with the Banks loan losses on its loan portfolio as a whole.

Management
believes that its lending policies and underwriting standards will tend to
mitigate losses in an economic downturn; however, there is no assurance that
losses will not occur under such circumstances. The Banks loan policies
and underwriting standards include, but are not limited to, the following: (1)
maintaining a thorough understanding of the Banks service area and
limiting investments outside of this area, (2) maintaining a thorough
understanding of borrowers knowledge and capacity in their field of
expertise, (3) basing real estate construction loan approval not only on
salability of the project, but also on the borrowers capacity to support
the project financially in the event it does not sell within the original
projected time period, and (4) maintaining conforming and prudent loan to value
and loan to cost ratios based on independent outside appraisals and ongoing
inspection and analysis by the Banks construction lending officers. In
addition, the Bank strives to diversify the risk inherent in the construction
portfolio by avoiding concentrations to individual borrowers and on any one
project.

Nonaccrual,
Past Due, Restructured Loans and Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

Management
generally places loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due,
unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is
placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is
reversed and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method
thereafter, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Generally, a loan may
be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become
current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and remaining
principal is considered collectible or when the loan is both well secured and in
the process of collection. Loans are charged off when, in the opinion of
management, collection appears unlikely. The Company did not have any OREO at
March 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004. The following table sets forth nonaccrual
loans, loans past due 90 days or more, and restructured loans performing in
compliance with modified terms at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

|Nonperforming
and restructured loans increased $206,000 from the December 31, 2004 balances.
At March 31, 2005, nonperforming and restructured loans were 1.86% of total
loans, which was up from 1.75% at December 31, 2004. The ratio of nonperforming
and restructured loans to total assets was 0.09% at March 31, 2005 versus 0.07%
at December 31, 2004.

A
loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable
that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans
effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loans
observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral-dependent.

At
March 31, 2005, the recorded investment in loans that were considered impaired
under SFAS No. 114 was $701,000. The total impaired loans include $693,000 of
restructured loans and $8,000 in other loans identified as impaired. Impaired
loans had valuation allowances totaling $276,000.

At
December 31, 2004, the recorded investment in loans considered impaired was
$835,000 of which $102,000 was included in nonaccrual loans and $733,000 was
included in restructured loans. Impaired loans had valuation allowances totaling
$323,000.

Other
than for the impaired loans disclosed above, management is not aware of any
other potential problem loans, which were accruing and current at March 31,
2005, where serious doubt exists as to the ability of the borrower to comply
with the present repayment terms.


Allowance
for Loan Losses

The
Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. The allowance is based on our regular assessments of the
probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio and to a lesser extent,
unused commitments to provide financing. Determining the adequacy of the
allowance is a matter of careful judgment, which reflects consideration of all
significant factors that affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the
evaluation date. Our methodology for measuring the appropriate level of the
allowance relies on several key elements, which include the formula allowance,
specific allowances for identified problem loans and the unallocated reserve.
The unallocated allowance contains amounts that are based on managements
evaluation of conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of
the formula and specific allowances.

The
formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans
and certain unused commitments, in each case based on the internal risk grade of
such loans and commitments. Changes in risk grades of both performing and
nonperforming loans affect the amount of the formula allowance. Loss factors are
based on our historical loss experience and may be adjusted for significant
factors that, in managements judgment, affect the collectibility of the
portfolio as of the evaluation date. At March 31, 2005, the formula allowance
was $13,898,000 compared to $11,620,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase in
the formula allowance was primarily a result of an increase in the level of
classified loans due mostly to one borrowing relationship.

In
addition to the formula allowance calculated by the application of the loss
factors to the standard loan categories, certain specific allowances may also be
calculated. Quarterly, all significant classified and criticized loans are
analyzed individually based on the source and adequacy of repayment and specific
type of collateral, and an assessment is made of the adequacy of the formula
reserve relative to the individual loan. A specific allocation either higher or
lower than the formula reserve will be calculated based on the
higher/lower-than-normal probability of loss and the adequacy of the collateral.
At March 31, 2005, the specific allowance was $2,603,000 compared to a specific
allowance of $2,671,000 at December 31, 2004.

The
unallocated allowance contains amounts that are based on managements
evaluation of conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of
the formula and specific allowances. The evaluation of the inherent loss with
respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because
they are not identified with specific problem loans or portfolio segments. At
March 31, 2005, the unallocated allowance was $780,000 compared to $1,979,000 at
December 31, 2004. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated
allowance include the following at the balance sheet date:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|o | The
current national and local economic and business conditions, trends and  developments,
including the condition of various market segments within our  lending area;
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|o | Changes
in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection,
charge-off, and recovery practices;
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|o | Changes
in the nature, mix, concentrations and volume of the loan portfolio;
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

|o | The
effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and  regulatory
requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the  Banks current
portfolio.
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|There
can be no assurance that the adverse impact of any of these conditions on the
Bank will not be in excess of the unallocated allowance as determined by
management at March 31, 2005 and set forth in the preceding paragraph.

The
allowance for loan losses totaled $17,281,000 or 1.86% of total loans at March
31, 2004 compared to $16,270,000 or 1.75% at December 31, 2004 and $16,654,000
or 2.15% at March 31, 2004. At these dates, the allowance represented 1,660%,
1,949% and 158% of nonperforming loans.

It
is the policy of management to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level
adequate for risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Based on information
currently available to analyze loan loss potential, including economic factors,
overall credit quality, historical delinquency and a history of actual
charge-offs, management believes that the loan loss provision and allowance are
adequate. However, no prediction of the ultimate level of loans charged off in
future years can be made with any certainty.

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

|Liquidity

Liquidity
management refers to the Companys ability to provide funds on an ongoing
basis to meet fluctuations in deposit levels as well as the credit needs and
requirements of its clients. Both assets and liabilities contribute to the
Companys liquidity position. Federal funds lines, short-term investments
and securities, and loan repayments contribute to liquidity, along with deposit
increases, while loan funding and deposit withdrawals decrease liquidity. The
Bank assesses the likelihood of projected funding requirements by reviewing
historical funding patterns, current and forecasted economic conditions and
individual client funding needs. Commitments to fund loans and outstanding
standby letters of credit at March 31, 2005, were approximately $261,999,000 and
$9,937,000, respectively. Such loans relate primarily to revolving lines of
credit and other commercial loans, and to real estate construction loans.

The
Companys sources of liquidity consist of overnight funds sold to
correspondent banks, unpledged marketable investments, loans pledged to the
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB-SF) and sellable SBA
loans. On March 31, 2005, consolidated liquid assets totaled $175.9 million or
15.1% of total assets as compared to $158.6 million or 13.6% of total
consolidated assets on December 31, 2004. In addition to liquid assets, the Bank
maintains short-term lines of credit with correspondent banks. At March 31,
2005, the Bank had $90,000,000 available under these credit lines. Informal
agreements are also in place with various other banks to purchase participations
in loans, if necessary. The Company serves primarily a business and professional
customer base and, as such, its deposit base is susceptible to economic
fluctuations. Accordingly, management strives to maintain a balanced position of
liquid assets to volatile and cyclical deposits.


Capital
Resources

The
Companys total shareholders equity was $104,708,000 at March 31,
2005 compared to $101,116,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase in capital
reflects the first quarter earnings of $3.8 million, exercise of stock options
totaling $1.8 million, a $1.2 million decrease in the market value of
available-for-sale investment securities and the effect of the stock repurchases
of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2005.

The
Company and the Bank are subject to regulations issued by the Board of Governors
and the FDIC, which require maintenance of a certain level of capital. Under the
regulations, capital requirements are based upon the composition of an
institutions asset base and the risk factors assigned to those assets. The
guidelines characterize an institutions capital as being Tier
1 capital (defined to be principally shareholders equity less
intangible assets) and Tier 2 capital (defined to be principally the
allowance for loan losses, limited to one and one-fourth percent of gross risk
weighted assets). The guidelines require the Company and the Bank to maintain a
risk-based capital target ratio of 8%, one-half or more of which should be in
the form of Tier 1 capital.





The
following table shows the Companys and the Banks actual capital
amounts and ratios at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 as well as the

3.  QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Overview

The
goal for managing the assets and liabilities of the Bank is to maximize
shareholder value and earnings while maintaining a high quality balance sheet
without exposing the Bank to undue interest rate risk. The Board of Directors
has overall responsibility for the Companys interest rate risk management
policies. The Bank has an Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which
establishes and monitors guidelines to control the sensitivity of earnings to
changes in interest rates.


Asset/Liability
Management

Activities
involved in asset/liability management include but are not limited to lending,
accepting and placing deposits, investing in securities and issuing debt.
Interest rate risk is the primary market risk associated with asset/liability
management. Sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes arises when yields
on assets change in a different time period or in a different amount from that
of interest costs on liabilities. To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure
of the balance sheet is managed with the goal that movements of interest rates
on assets and liabilities are correlated and contribute to earnings even in
periods of volatile interest rates. The asset/liability management policy sets
limits on the acceptable amount of variance in net interest margin and market
value of equity under changing interest rate environments. The Company uses
simulation models to forecast earnings, net interest margin and market value of
equity.

Simulation
of earnings is one of the tools used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to
interest rate changes. Using computer modeling techniques, the Company is able
to estimate the potential impact of changing interest rates on earnings. A
balance sheet forecast is prepared using inputs of actual loan and interest
bearing liability (i.e. deposits/borrowings) positions as the beginning base.

The
Company measures the interest rate risk embedded in its current portfolio based
on interest rates evolving over time along four forecast paths. Net interest
margin and net interest income are calculated as the forecast balance sheet is
processed against these four interest rate scenarios. One scenario is a flat
rate based on the current rate environment. One scenario is an economic
forecast, based on underlying economic and financial sector modeling. The other
two are a rising and declining scenario based on gradual rate ramps which embody
rate relationships. The nature of the specified rate tests is a gradual but
significant change in interest rates projected to evolve over 12 months. The
interest rate risk modeling is a useful tool, but there are certain limits to
the rate forecast estimates. Actual rate changes rarely follow any given
forecast, asset-liability pricing and other model inputs usually do not remain
constant in their historic relationships as new rate environments evolve.
However, holding these assumptions constant through the modeling horizon helps
to appropriately emphasize specific repricing/mismatch points and their
performance implications.

A
one year projection of net interest income, as forecast below, was modeled
utilizing a forecast balance sheet projected from February 28, 2005 balances.

The
following table summarizes the effect on net interest income of three rate
scenarios as measured against a most likely rate scenario.

|Most likely rates                 |                                                               
|Declining rates                   |                                                               
|Rising rates                      |                                                               

|The
Company also estimates rate risk through the use of rate shock analysis. The
model calculates both the percent and dollar changes in net interest income
(NII) and market value of equity (MVE) projected to occur should the yield curve
instantaneously shift up or down in a parallel fashion from its beginning
position. MVE measures the impact on equity due to the changes in the market
values of assets and liabilities as a result of a change in interest rates. In
the rate shock analysis, the forecast balance sheet is processed against seven
interest rate scenarios. These seven interest rate scenarios include the flat
rate scenario described above, and six additional rate shock scenarios ranging
from +300 to -300 basis points around the flat scenario in 100 basis point
increments. These rate shock scenarios assume that interest rates increase or
decrease immediately and remain at the new level in the future. The Company
measures the volatility of these benchmarks using a twelve-month time horizon.
Using the February 28, 2005 balance sheet as the base for the simulation, the
following table summarizes the effect on net interest income of +200 and
+/-100 basis point changes in interest rates. Due to the current low level of
interest rates, the potential for interest bearing deposit accounts to respond
to further changes in projected rates is limited, therefore calculations for
rate decreases greater than 200 bp are misleading and have not been presented.

|These
results indicate that the balance sheet is asset sensitive since earnings
increase when interest rates rise. The magnitude of the NII change is within the
Companys policy guidelines. The asset liability management policy limits
aggregate market risk, as measured in this fashion, to an acceptable level
within the context of risk-return trade-offs.

The
simulations of earnings do not incorporate any management actions, which might
moderate the negative consequences of interest rate deviations. Therefore, they
do not reflect likely actual results, but serve as conservative estimates of
interest rate risk. The risk profile of the Company has not changed materially
from that at year-end 2003.

ITEM
4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other
members of the Companys senior management as of the end of the
Companys fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005. The Companys Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective in
ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and
communicated to the Companys management (including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms.

(b)
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: An evaluation of any changes in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)), that occurred during the Companys
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005, was carried out under the supervision and
with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer and other members of the Companys senior management. The
Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that no change identified in connection with such evaluation has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys
internal control over financial reporting.


OTHER
MATTERS


Terrorist
Acts

The
terrorist actions on September 11, 2001 and thereafter have had significant
adverse effects upon the United States economy. Whether the terrorist activities
in the future and the actions of the United States and its allies in combating
terrorism on a worldwide basis, including the current military action in Iraq,
will adversely impact the Company and the extent of such impact is uncertain.
However, such events 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 Company, increasing nonperforming loans and
the amounts reserved for loan losses, and causing a decline in the
Companys stock price.


Off-Balance
Sheet Items

The
Company has certain ongoing commitments under operating leases. These
commitments do not significantly impact operating results. As of March 31, 2005
and December 31, 2004, commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were
the only financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk (See Note 3 to the
consolidated condensed financial statements  Commitments and
Contingencies). The Company has not entered into any contracts for financial
derivative instruments such as futures, swaps, options or similar instruments.

Certain
financial institutions have elected to use special purpose vehicles
(SPV) to dispose of problem assets. A SPV is typically a subsidiary
company with an asset and liability structure and legal status that makes it
obligations secure even if the parent corporation goes bankrupt. Under such
circumstances, these financial institutions may exclude the problem assets from
their reported impaired and non-performing assets. The Company does not use SPV
or other structures to dispose of problem assets.

II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM
1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

At
March 31, 2005, the Company had pending legal proceedings related to the City of
King dispute discussed in the Companys Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2004, and the Forms 10-Q and 8-K referenced
therein. The Company has appealed an adverse Judgment of a lower court as
described in those filings and has charged off the outstanding balance of $3.3
million related to the CD secured loan in dispute.

The
outcome of the dispute regarding the CD secured loan continues to be uncertain
at the present time; however, the Bank intends to vigorously defend its rights
in respect of the certificate of deposit on appeal of the Judgment.

Except
as disclosed above, there are no material pending legal proceedings, other than
ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Companys business, to which
the Company or the Bank is a party or as to which any of their property is
subject.
