NOTE CSUBSEQUENT EVENT: MERGER OF MID-STATE BANCSHARES AND AMERICORP

On April 9, 2001, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Americorp through merger, subject to the approval of banking regulators and shareholders
of Americorp. Americorp is the parent company to American Commercial Bank, its wholly owned sole subsidiary. American Commercial Bank is the largest independent bank headquartered in Ventura County
with 6 offices serving the communities of Ventura, Oxnard and Camarillo. The agreement provides that the outstanding shares of Americorp will be exchanged for shares of common stock of Mid-State
Bancshares. Americorp shareholders will receive $28.75 in Mid-State Bancshares stock which is subject to possible adjustments based on changes in the price of Mid-State Bancshares stock preceding the
effective date of the transaction. The transaction is valued at approximately $63.7 million. The merger is structured to be tax-free, and is intended to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. As
a result of

this transaction, the previously approved stock repurchase program for Mid-State Bancshares has been suspended.

NOTE DTRANSFER OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY TO INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

On January 1, 2001, the remaining $25.6 million in the Held-to-Maturity portion of the Investment Securities Portfolio was transferred to the Available for
Sale portion of the Investment Securities Portfolio. Ordinarily such transfers are prohibited, however, concurrent with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, a one time reclassification was permitted.

NOTE ETWO-FOR-ONE STOCK SPLIT

On January 10, 2001, the Board of Directors of Mid-State Bancshares declared a two-for-one stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. The record
date for the split was January 26, 2001 and the split was distributed on February 26, 2001. All per share amounts reported in this Report on Form 10-Q have been retroactively restated to reflect the
two-for-one stock split.

Performance Summary.The Company posted net income of $6.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 compared to $6.4 million in the like 2000 period. These earnings represent an annualized return on assets of 1.89% and 1.90%, respectively. The annualized return on equity was 14.97%
for the first quarter of 2001 compared to 15.92% in the first quarter of 2000. On a per share basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.30 in the 2001 period compared to $0.28 in the like quarter of
2000.

Net Interest Income.Mid-State's year-to-date annualized yield on interest earning assets was
8.51% for the first three months of 2001 (8.85% on a taxable equivalent basis) compared to 8.44% in the like 2000 period (8.73% on a taxable equivalent basis). This increase in yield is related to a
change in mix of earning assets (average loans represented 69.8% of earning assets in the first quarter of 2001 compared to 63.8% one year earlier) which overshadowed the lower interest rates
experienced during the 1st quarter of 2001. The Prime Rate, to which many of the Bank's loans are tied, averaged 8.62% in the 2001 period compared to 8.69% in the 2000 period.
Conversely, annualized interest expense as a
percent of earning assets increased slightly from 2.07% in the first three months of 2000 to 2.22% in this year's first three months. Overall, Mid-State's annualized Net Interest Income, expressed as
a percent of earning assets, decreased from 6.37% for the three month period of 2000 (6.66% on a taxable equivalent basis) to 6.28% in the comparable 2001 period (6.63% on a taxable equivalent basis).
Annualized Net Interest Income as a percent of averagetotalassets declined slightly from 5.86% in the first three months of 2000 (6.13% taxable
equivalent) to 5.81% in the comparable 2001 period (6.05% taxable equivalent).

Earning
assets on average were $65.2 million higher in the three month 2001 period than the comparable 2000 period ($1,318.6 million compared to $1,253.3 million). Average deposits in
this same time-frame were up $43.1 million, ($1,236.3 million compared to $1,193.3 million), which explains part of the increase in average earning assets. The remaining portion of the increase is a
result of a combination of the retention of earnings in the Company and a reduction in other non earning assets.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses.Mid-State made provisions to the allowance for loan
losses in the first quarter of 2001 in the amount of $300 thousand. The Bank made no allowances in the comparable 2000 quarter. Management continues to believe that the allowance, which stands at 1.4%
of total loans at March 31, 2001, down from 1.6% one year earlier, is adequate to cover inherent losses. The $13.6 million allowance is about 194% of the level of non performing assets which stand at
$7.0 million compared to $7.1 million one year earlier. Non performing assets consist of loans on non-accrual, accruing loans 90 days or more past due and Other Real Estate Owned. Other Real Estate
Owned reflects property acquired through foreclosure on loans in which the borrower defaulted. While continuing efforts are made to improve overall asset quality, Management is unable to estimate with
certainty, how and under what terms, problem assets will be resolved.

Changes
in the allowance for loan losses (in thousands) for the periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

At
March 31, 2001, the recorded investments in loans, which have been identified as impaired totaled $8,804,000. Of this amount, $4,610,000 related to loans with no valuation
allowance and $4,194,000 related to loans with a corresponding valuation allowance of $2,120,000. Impaired loans totaled $6,461,000 at March 31, 2000, all of which were tied to corresponding valuation
allowances totaling $1,416,000. The valuation allowance for impaired loans is included within the general allowance shown above and netted against loans on the consolidated statements of financial
position. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $5,981,000 compared to $5,554,000 in the 2000 period. A loan is identified as impaired when it is
probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Because this definition is very similar to that used by bank regulators to
determine on which loans interest should not be accrued, the Bank expects that most impaired loans will be on non-accrual status.

Non-interest Income.Non-interest income for the first three months of 2001 was $5.2 million,
up from $4.4 million earned in the 2000 period, an increase of 17.9%. The increase was related to improved service charge income of approximately $132 thousand over the comparable periods, to
increases in the Company's merchant mastercard income of about $51 thousand and increases in other fee income of $198 thousand. Income from mortgage origination and loan servicing increased $198
thousand from the levels in the first quarter of 2000.

Non-interest Expense.Non-interest expense for the first three months of 2001 was $14.7
million. This compares to $14.2 million in the comparable 2000 period. Increases in salaries and benefits accounted for $276 thousand of this increase, while increases in advertising and promotion
accounted for $327 thousand of the increase. While other categories of expense showed minor declines, others showed minor increases, all of which in total were expense neutral.

Provision for Income Taxes.The year-to-date provision for income taxes was $3.9 million,
compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2000. The effective tax rate in 2001 was 37.0% compared to 35.6% in 2000. The effective tax rate in 2001 is somewhat higher than the prior year's first

11

---

quarter due to the realization of certain tax benefits available to Mid-State in 2000. While the normal combined federal and state statutory tax rate is 42% for Mid-State Bancshares, the tax exempt
income generated by its municipal bond portfolio is the primary reason that the effective rate is lower.

Balance Sheet.Total assets at March 31, 2001 totaled $1,444.9 million, compared to $1,370.1
million the same period one year earlier. Loans have increased from $831.4 million at the end of March, 2000 to $946.1 million in 2001. Investments and fed funds sold were significantly lower, having
declined from $423.8 million one year earlier to $388.8 million this year. Other non earning asset categories declined as well, when comparing 2001 to 2000.

Asset
growth was funded primarily through a $58.2 million increase in deposits. Shareholders' equity increased by $18.6 million when comparing March 31, 2001 over March 31, 2000,
primarily due to the retention of earnings over the intervening 12 month period and an increase in the gain on available for sale securities over the same time period. There was a modest decrease in
other borrowing and liabilities of $2.1 million, comparing the quarter-end periods.

Mid-State's
loan to deposit ratio of 75.8% at March 31, 2001 is up significantly from the 69.9% ratio one year earlier. There is ample internal liquidity to fund improvements in this
ratio through Mid-State's investment portfolio which has 100% of it's investments categorized as available for sale. On January 1, 2001, the company made the decision to transfer the remaining portion
of the Held to Maturity securities to the Available for Sale portion of the portfolio. This transfer was made possible due to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which allowed for a one time reclassification.

Investment Securities.Fed funds sold represent $28.7 million of the $388.8 million portfolio
noted above. Of the remaining $360.1 million, 9% is invested in U.S. Treasury securities, 21% is invested in U.S. Government agency obligations, 67% is invested in securities issued by states and
political subdivisions in the U.S. and 3% is invested in mortgage-backed securities and other securities. Sixty-eight percent of all investment securities mature prior to December 31, 2005.
Approximately 24% of the total portfolio matures in less than one year. The Bank's investment in mortgage-backed securities consist of
investments in FNMA and FHLMC pools which have contractual maturities of up to 17 years. The actual time of repayment may be shorter due to prepayments made on the underlying collateral.

Capital Resources.Total Shareholders' equity increased from $164.4 million at March 31, 2000
to $183.0 million at March 31, 2001. Net income over this 12 month time period of $27.6 million less cash dividends of $7.7 million plus a $8.7 million increase in unrealized gains on available for
sale securities plus $0.2 million in stock options exercised less common stock repurchased of $10.2 accounted for the $18.6 million increase. Capital continues to be strong with Mid-State Bancshare's
ratio of tier one equity capital to average assets ("leverage ratio") at 12.4% up from 12.3% one year earlier. Mid-State's ratios of tier one capital and total capital to risk-adjusted assets
declined, principally because of the change in asset mix away from investment securities with lower risk weightings into loans with their 100% risk weightings. The tier one ratio went from 16.0% one
year earlier to 15.7% at March 31, 2001. The Total Capital ratio went from 17.3% one year earlier to 16.8% at March 31, 2001. Mid-State substantially exceeds the standards to be considered well
capitalized which are 6.0% for the ratio of tier one capital to risk weighted assets, 10.0% for the ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets, and 5.0% for the ratio of tier one capital to total
assets.

Liquidity.The focus of the Bank's liquidity management is to ensure its ability to meet cash
requirements. Sources of liquidity include cash, due from bank balances (net of Federal Reserve requirements to maintain reserves against deposit liabilities), fed funds sold, investment securities
(net of pledging requirements), loan repayments, deposits and fed funds borrowing lines. Typical demands

12

---

on liquidity are deposit run-off from demand deposits and savings accounts, maturing time deposits, which are not renewed, and anticipated funding under credit commitments to customers.

The
Bank has adequate liquidity at the present time. Its loan to deposit ratio at March 31, 2001 was 75.8% versus 69.9% one year earlier. The Bank normally strives for a loan to
deposit ratio in the 65% to 75% range. The Bank's internally calculated liquidity ratio stands at 33.5% at March 31, 2001, which is above its minimum policy of 15% and below the 39.5% level of March
31, 2000. Management is not aware of any future capital expenditures or other significant demands or commitments which would severely impair liquidity.

Important Factors Relating to Forward-Looking Statements.The Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements so long as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements
identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such statements. All of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which
are not identified as historical should be considered forward-looking. In connection with certain forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those that may be made
in the future by or on behalf of the Company which are identified as forward-looking, the Company notes that there are various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
set forth in any such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the real estate market, the availability of loans at acceptable prices, the general level of economic
activity both locally and
nationally, interest rates, the actions by the Company's regulatory agencies, actions by competitors of the Company and other factors referenced in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be realized or that actual results will not be
significantly higher or lower. The forward-looking statements have not been audited by, examined by or subjected to agreed-upon procedures by independent accountants, and no third-party has
independently verified or reviewed such statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should consider these facts in evaluating the information contained herein. The inclusion of the
forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the forward-looking statements contained
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be achieved. In light of the foregoing, readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking
statements contained herein. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained
herein to reflect future events or developments.

Item 3Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Bank's risk exposure to changes in interest rates is minimal. A recent review of the potential changes in the Bank's net interest income over the 12 month
time horizon of 2001 showed that it could fluctuate under very extreme alternative rate scenarios from between +4.7% and -5.5% of the base case (rates unchanged at 8.0% prime rate). The Bank's policy
is to maintain a structure of assets and liabilities which are such that net interest income will not vary more than plus or minus 15% of the base forecast over a forecasted 12 month period.
Management feels that its exposure to interest rate risk is manageable and it will continue to strive for an optimal trade-off between risk and earnings. The

following table presents a summary of the Bank's net interest income forecasted over the 12 months of 2001, under alternative interest rate scenarios. At April 30, 2001, the prime rate had declined to
7.5%.

Change
From BaseRates Down Very Significant

%(Prime down to 4.00% over 12 months)Rates Down Significant

-3.2
%(Prime down to 5.50% over 12 months)Rates Down Modestly

-1.7
%(Prime down to 7.00% over 12 months)Base CaseRates Unchanged

(Prime unchanged at 8.00% over 12 months)Rates Up Modestly

+1.5
%(Prime up to 9.00% over 12 months)Rates Up Aggressive

+3.3
%(Prime up to 10.50% over 12 months)Rates Up Very Aggressive

+4.7
%(Prime up to 12.00% over 12 months)


Net
interest income under the above scenarios is influenced by the characteristics of the Bank's assets and liabilities. In the case of N.O.W., savings and money market deposits
(total $616.8 million) interest is based on rates set at the discretion of Management ranging from 0.50% to 2.37%. In a downward rate environment, there is a limit to how far these deposit instruments
can be re-priced and this behavior is similar to that of fixed rate instruments. In an upward rate environment, the magnitude and timing of changes in rates on these deposits is assumed to be more
reflective of variable rate instruments. These characteristics are the main reasons that a 4% decline in Prime decreases net interest income by 5.5% while a 4% increase in Prime increases net interest
income 4.7%.

It
is important to note that the above table is a summary of several forecasts and actual results may vary. The forecasts are based on estimates and assumptions of Management that may
turn out to be different and may change over time. Factors affecting these estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited tocompetitors' behavior, economic conditions both locally
and nationally, actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board, customer behavior, and Management's responses. Historically, the Bank has been able to manage its Net Interest Income in a fairly narrow
range reflecting the Bank's relative insensitivity to interest rate changes. The impact of prepayment behavior on mortgages, real estate loans, mortgage backed securities, securities with call
features, etc. is not considered material to the sensitivity analysis. Over the last 5 years, and excluding the first quarter of 2001, the Bank's net interest margin (which is net interest income
divided by average earning assets of the Bank) has ranged from a low of 5.71% to a high of 6.44% (not taxable equivalent). The Bank's net interest margin in the first quarter of 6.28% is relatively
high by these historical standards. Based on the scenarios above, the net interest margin under the alternative scenarios ranges from 5.81% to 6.43%. Management feels this
range of scenarios is appropriate in view of its historical performance, but no assurances can be given that actual experience will fall within this range.

The
Bank's exposure with respect to interest rate derivatives, exchange rate fluctuations, and/or commodity price movements is nil. The Bank does not own any instruments within these
markets.
