HERITAGE COMMERCE CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2001
(Unaudited)

1)	Basis of Presentation
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Heritage Commerce Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Heritage Bank of Commerce (HBC), Heritage Bank East Bay (HBEB), Heritage Bank South Valley (HBSV), and Bank of Los Altos (BLA), and Heritage Capital Trust I and Heritage Statutory Trust I, which are Delaware Statutory business trusts formed for the exclusive purpose of issuing and selling trust preferred securities, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2000, as amended by Form 10-K/A filed on April 6, 2001. The unaudited condensed financial information presented herein has been restated on a historical basis to reflect the merger with Western Holdings Bancorp, which closed in October 2000, as a pooling of interests as if the Companies had been combined for all periods presented.
	HBC, HBEB, HBSV, and BLA are commercial banks, which offer similar products to customers located in Santa Clara, Alameda, and Contra Costa counties of California. No customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenue for HBC, HBEB, HBSV, BLA or the Company. Management evaluates the Company’s performance as a whole and does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiary banks all operate as one business segment.
	In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year presentation.
	The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2001.
2)	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects potential dilution from outstanding stock options, using the treasury stock method. For each of the periods presented, net income is the same for basic and diluted earnings per share. Reconciliation of weighted average shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2001		2000		2001		2000
Weighted average common shares outstanding — used in computing basic earnings per share		11,096,230		10,472,289		11,053,894		10,429,176
Diluted effect of stock options outstanding, using the treasury stock method		303,808		804,345		316,414		798,600
Shares used in computing diluted earnings per share		11,400,038		11,276,634		11,370,308		11,227,776

3)	Comprehensive Income
	Comprehensive Income includes net income and other comprehensive income, which represents the change in its net assets during the period from non-owner sources.
	The Company’s only source of other comprehensive income is derived from unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available-for-sale. Reclassification adjustments resulting from gains or losses on investment securities that were realized and included in net income of the current period that also had been included in other comprehensive income as unrealized holding gains or losses in the period in which they arose are excluded from comprehensive income of the current period. The Company’s total comprehensive income was as follows:

			Three months ended						Six months ended
			June 30,			June 30,			June 30,			June 30,
			2001			2000			2001			2000
Net Income			$	1,890,000		$	1,489,000		$	4,071,000		$	3,006,000
Other comprehensive income, net of tax:
	Net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available-for-sale during the period			(221,000	)		153,000			480,000			(22,000	)
		Less: reclassification adjustment for realized gains on available-for-sale securities included in net income during the period		(252,000	)		(30,000	)		(339,000	)		(30,000	)
Other comprehensive income (loss)				(473,000	)		123,000			141,000			(52,000	)
Comprehensive income			$	1,417,000		$	1,612,000		$	4,212,000		$	2,954,000

4)	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved for issuance Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and address the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination and the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 provides that intangible assets with finite useful lives will be amortized and that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized, but will be required to be tested at least annually for impairment. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, however the Company did not have any goodwill or intangible assets at June 30, 2001 or December 31, 2000.
5)	Reclassifications
	Certain amounts in the December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2001 financial statement presentation.

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

Discussions of certain matters in this Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as such, may involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project”, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which the Company operates, projections of future performance, potential future performance, potential future credit experience, perceived opportunities in the market, and statements regarding the Company’s mission and vision. The Company’s actual results, performance, and achievements may differ materially from the results, performance, and achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a wide range of factors. The factors include, but are not limited to changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the US Government, real estate valuations, competition in the financial services industry, and other risks. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Heritage operates as the bank holding company for the four subsidiary banks: Heritage Bank of Commerce, Heritage Bank East Bay, Heritage Bank South Valley and Bank of Los Altos (collectively the “Banks”). All are California state chartered banks which offer a full range of commercial and personal banking services to residents and the business/professional community in Santa Clara, Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, California. The accounting and reporting policies of Heritage Commerce Corp and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. The financial information presented herein has been restated on a historical basis to reflect the merger with Western Holdings Bancorp, which closed in October 2000, as a pooling of interests as if the Companies had been combined for all periods presented.

OVERVIEW

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $1,890,000 and $4,071,000, up 27% and 35%, from $1,489,000 and $3,006,000 for the same periods in the prior year. Earnings per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $0.17 and $0.36, up 31% and 33%, from $0.13 and $0.27 per diluted share for same periods in the prior year. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were 0.95% and 11.90% compared with returns of 0.84% and 10.38% for the same period in the prior year. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 were 0.88% and 10.71%, compared with returns of 0.79% and 10.12%, for the same period in the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared with the same period in the prior year, net interest income increased from $19,498,000 to $21,700,000, an increase of $2,202,000, or 11%. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, as compared with the same period in the prior year, net interest income increased from $10,380,000 to 10,620,000, an increase of $240,000, or 2%. The increase is attributable to the growth in earning assets, primarily loans, offset by a decline in interest rates earned reflecting the Federal Reserve Board of Governors’ reduction in short term interest rates of 275 basis points during the first six months of 2001 and the timing of the Company's ability to reprice its interest bearing deposits. The Company’s net interest margin was 5.52% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared with 5.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2000, reflective of the overall decline in the interest rate environment and the fact that the Company’s assets reprice more quickly than its liabilities.

Total assets as of June 30, 2001 were $867,631,000, an increase of $53,336,000, or 7%, from $814,295,000 at June 30, 2000, and an increase of $21,407,000, or 3%, from total assets of $846,224,000 at December 31, 2000.

Loan origination costs increased by $205,000, or 132%, as a result of the overall growth in the loan portfolio and increased as a percentage of total noninterest expenses from 2% to 4%. The increase was $298,000, or 83%, to $659,000 in the first six months of 2001, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Professional fees decreased by $318,000, or 55%.

The difference in the effective tax rate compared to the statutory tax rate is primarily the result of the Company holding certain life insurance contracts and changes in the Company’s level of investments in municipal securities.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased $21,407,000, or 3%, to $867,631,000 at June 30, 2001 from $846,224,000 at December 31, 2000, and increased $53,336,000, or 7%, from $814,295,000 at June 30, 2000. Total portfolio loans decreased $5,649,000 or 1% to $605,132,000 at June 30, 2001 from $610,781,000 at December 31, 2000, but have increased $83,594,000 or 16% from $521,538,000 at June 30, 2000. Total deposits were $770,168,000 at June 30, 2001, an increase of 4% from $738,186,000 at December 31, 2000, and have increased 4% from $737,116,000 at June 30, 2000.

Loans

Total loans (exclusive of loans held for sale) decreased 1% to $605,132,000 at June 30, 2201, as compared to $610,781,000 at December 31, 2000. The decrease in loan balances was a result of loan payments and payoffs exceeding the level of new originations during the first six months of 2001.

The following table summarizes the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio at the rates indicated:

(Dollars in thousands)		June 30, 2001			% of Total			December 31, 2000			% of Total
Commercial		$	202,125			33	%	$	200,846			33	%
Real estate — mortgage			231,712			38	%		230,468			38	%
Real estate — land and construction			165,468			28	%		171,325			28	%
Consumer			5,819			1	%		8,172			1	%
	Total loans		605,124			100	%		610,811			100	%
Deferred loan costs (fees)			8						(30	)
Allowance for loan losses			(10,347	)					(9,651	)
Loans, net		$	594,785					$	601,130

The Company’s loan portfolio is based in commercial (primarily to companies engaged in manufacturing, wholesale, and service businesses) and real estate lending, with the balance in consumer loans. Real estate construction loans have been paid off. However, while no specific industry concentration is considered significant, the Company’s lending operations are located in the Company’s market areas that are dependent on the technology and real estate industries and their supporting companies. Thus, the Company’s borrowers could be adversely impacted by a downturn in these sectors of the economy which could reduce the demand for loans and adversely impact the borrowers’ abilities to repay their loans.

The following table sets forth the maturity distribution of the Company’s loans at June 30, 2001:

	Due in		Over One Year
	One Year		But Less Than		Over
(Dollars in thousands)	or Less		Five Years		Five Years		Total
Commercial	$	190,175	$	11,545	$	405	$	202,125
Real estate — mortgage		132,670		82,882		16,160		231,712
Real estate — land and construction		165,377		91		—		165,468
Consumer		5,007		812		—		5,819
Total loans	$	493,229	$	95,330	$	16,565	$	605,124
Loans with variable interest rates	$	476,019	$	58,072	$	490	$	534,581
Loans with fixed interest rates		17,210		37,258		16,075		70,543
Total loans	$	493,229	$	95,330	$	16,565	$	605,124

The table shows the distribution of such loans between those loans with predetermined (fixed) interest rates and those with variable (floating) interest rates. Floating rates generally fluctuate with changes in the prime rate as reflected in the western edition of The Wall Street Journal. At June 30, 2001, approximately 88% of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of floating interest rate loans.

Nonperforming assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing, troubled debt restructurings and other real estate owned. The following table shows nonperforming assets at the dates indicated:

		June 30,
								December 31,

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management conducts a critical evaluation of the loan portfolio monthly. This evaluation includes an assessment of the following factors: past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, bank regulatory examination results, and current economic conditions. Management has established an evaluation process designed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. This process attempts to assess the risk of loss inherent in the portfolio by segregating the allowance for loan losses into four components: “watch”, “special mention”, “substandard” and “doubtful”.

It is the policy of management to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level adequate for known and future risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Based on information currently available to analyze loan loss delinquency and a history of actual charge-offs, management believes that the loan loss provision and allowance are adequate; however, no assurance of the ultimate level of credit losses can be given with any certainty. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.

The following table summarizes the Company’s loan loss experience as well as transactions in the allowance for loan losses and certain pertinent ratios for the periods indicated:

		Six months ended June 30,						Year ended
								December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)		2001			2000			2000

	Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans		15,661	%		709	%		—	%

The following table summarizes the allocation of the allowance for loan losses (ALL) by loan type and the allocated allowance as a percent of loans outstanding in each loan category at the dates indicated:

	June 30, 2001					June 30, 2000					December 31, 2000

Total	$	10,347		1.71	%	$	7,738		1.48	%	$	9,651		1.58	%

The increase in the allowance for loan losses reflects the growth in the Company’s commercial and real estate mortgage loan portfolio and the Company’s assessment of the increased inherent credit risk resulting from the current economic environment, particularly in the Company’s primary market area and lending focus, and the potential effects of the continuing California energy situation.

All of the Company’s operations and virtually all of its customers are located in California. The availability of a sufficient supply of electrical power in California has been called into question by recent events, including the bankruptcy of one of the state’s major utilities. While neither the Company nor any of its customers have been materially adversely affected by the electrical power crisis to date, power supply issues could have an affect on future operations of the Company or its customers, including borrowers.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $770,168,000 at June 30, 2001, an increase of 4%, compared to deposits of $738,186,000 at December 31, 2000 and an increase of 4% compared to $737,116,000 at June 30, 2000. The increase in deposits was primarily due to increases in noninterest bearing deposits and brokered deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits increased to $234,125,000 at June 30, 2001, from $207,885,000 at December 31, 2000. Brokered deposits increased to $26,723,000 at June 30, 2001, from $9,238,000 at December 31, 2000.

Deposit Concentration and Deposit Volatility

The following table indicates the maturity schedule of the Company’s time deposits of $100,000 or more as of June 30, 2001.

(Dollars in thousands)		Balance		% of Total
Three months or less		$	72,110		39	%
Over three months through twelve months			96,965		52	%
Over twelve months			16,614		9	%
	Total	$	185,689		100	%

The Company focuses primarily on servicing business accounts that are frequently over $100,000 in average size. Certain types of accounts that the Company makes available are typically in excess of $100,000 in average balance per account, and certain types of business clients whom the Company serves typically carry deposits in excess of $100,000 on average. The account activity for some account types and client types necessitates appropriate liquidity management practices by the Company to ensure its ability to fund deposit withdrawals.

Interest Rate Risk

The planning of asset and liability maturities is an integral part of the management of an institution’s net yield. To the extent maturities of assets and liabilities do not match in a changing interest rate environment, net yields may change over time. Even with perfectly matched repricing of assets and liabilities, risks remain in the form of prepayment of loans or investments or in the form of delays in the adjustment of rates of interest applying to either earning assets with floating rates or to interest bearing liabilities. The Company has generally been able to control its exposure to changing interest rates by maintaining primarily floating interest rate loans and a majority of its time certificates with relatively short maturities.

The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 2001, using the rate sensitivity gap ratio. For purposes of the following table, an asset or liability is considered rate-sensitive within a specified period when it can be repriced or when it is scheduled to mature within the specified time frame:

						Due in Three			Due After

Cumulative interest rate sensitivity GAP ratio				15.41	%		3.76	%		14.40	%		18.65	%		—	%		—	%

The foregoing table demonstrates that the Company had a positive cumulative one year gap of $32,626,000, or 3.76% of total assets, at June 30, 2001. In theory, this would indicate that $32,626,000 more in assets than liabilities would reprice if there was a change in interest rates over the next year. If interest rates were to increase, the positive gap would tend to result in a higher net interest margin. However, changes in the mix of earning assets or supporting liabilities can either increase or decrease the net margin without affecting interest rate sensitivity. This characteristic is referred to as a basis risk and, generally, relates to the repricing characteristics of short-term funding sources such as certificates of deposit.

Interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same time. Varying interest rate environments can create unexpected changes in prepayment levels of assets and liabilities, which may have a significant effect on the net interest margin and are not reflected in the interest sensitivity analysis table. Because of these factors, an interest sensitivity gap report may not provide a complete assessment of the exposure to changes in interest rates. To supplement traditional GAP analysis, the Company performs simulation modeling to estimate the potential effects of changing interest rate environments. The process allows the Company to explore the complex relationships within the GAP over time and various interest rate environments.

Liquidity risk represents the potential for loss as a result of limitations on the Company’s ability to adjust for future cash flows, to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers, and to fund operations on a timely and cost-effective basis. The liquidity policy approved by the board requires annual review of the Company’s liquidity by the asset/liability committee, which is composed of senior executives, and the finance and investment committee of the board of directors.

The Company’s internal asset/liability committee and the finance and investment committee of the board each meet monthly to monitor the Company’s investments, liquidity needs and to oversee its asset/liability management. The Company evaluates the rates offered on its deposit products on a weekly basis.

17

Liquidity and Liability Management

To meet liquidity needs, the Company maintains a portion of its funds in cash deposits in other banks, in Federal funds sold, and in investment securities. At June 30, 2001, the Company’s primary liquidity ratio was 17.88%, comprised of $38.2 million in investment securities available-for-sale with maturities (or probable calls) of up to five years, less $10.1 million of securities that were pledged to secure public and certain other deposits as required by law and contract; Federal funds sold of $67.9 million, and $40.0 million in cash and due from banks, as a percentage of total unsecured deposits of $748 million.
