Item 2.    Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On January 31, 2002, First Community Bancorp ("FCB") completed its acquisition of Pacific Western National Bank ("Pacific Western") (the "Acquisition") through its wholly owned subsidiary, First Professional Bank, National Association ("First Professional"). The Acquisition was consummated pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 21, 2001, by and between First Community Bancorp ("First Community") and Pacific Western National Bank ("Pacific Western") (the "Merger Agreement").

        As a result of the Acquisition, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Pacific Western was converted into the right to receive $37.15 in cash. Both Pacific Western and First Community Bank of the Desert, a wholly owned subsidiary of First Community, were unified with First Professional in the Acquisition. The resulting bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of First Community, has been renamed Pacific Western National Bank.

        First Community financed the Acquisition in part with the proceeds from its recent rights offering. First Community distributed to its shareholders of record, as of December 17, 2001, rights to purchase additional shares of common stock at a price of $19.25 per share. The rights offering, which expired on January 23, 2002, was oversubscribed, and raised $23,000,000 in proceeds to First Community.

        The description of the Merger Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement which is incorporated herein as Exhibit 2.1. After giving effect to the Acquisition, the total assets of First Community and its subsidiaries increased to approximately $1.25 billion, total deposits increased to approximately $1.09 billion and total shareholder equity increased to approximately $96.8 million as of September 30, 2001, on a pro forma basis.

*    *    *

This report includes forward-looking statements that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. First Community Bancorp cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include economic conditions generally, including those resulting from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and their aftermath, and competition in the geographic and business areas in which First Community Bancorp operates, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, legislation and governmental regulation and the progress of integrating the operations of First Community Bancorp, Rancho Santa Fe National Bank, First Community Bank of the Desert, First Professional Bank, N.A., First Charter Bank, N.A., Pacific Western National Bank and Capital Bank of North County. We make no promise to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of changes in underlying factors, new information, future events or otherwise.

Exhibit 99.1


Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data
of First Community, First Charter, Pacific Western and W.H.E.C.

        The following tables present financial data for First Community, First Charter, Pacific Western and W.H.E.C. after giving effect to the mergers and the proceeds received from this offering and the separate offering of trust preferred securities described in Note 12, which we refer to as "pro forma" information. The pro forma financial data give effect to the mergers under the purchase accounting method in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In presenting the pro forma information for certain time periods, First Community assumed that First Community, First Charter, Pacific Western and W.H.E.C. had been merged throughout those periods. The following unaudited pro forma combined financial data combines the historical consolidated condensed financial statements of First Community and the historical consolidated condensed financial statements of First Charter, the historical condensed financial statements of Pacific Western and the historical consolidated condensed financial statements of W.H.E.C., giving effect of the mergers as if they had been effective on September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, with respect to the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet, and as of the beginning of the periods indicated, with respect to the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income. This information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the companies, including their respective notes thereto, which are included in other First Community filings.

        First Community expects that it will incur reorganization and restructuring expenses as a result of combining First Charter, Pacific Western and W.H.E.C. with First Community. The effect of the estimated merger and reorganization costs expected to be incurred in connection with the mergers has been reflected in the pro forma combined balance sheets. First Community also anticipates that the mergers will provide the combined company with certain financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses and opportunities to earn more revenue. However, First Community does not reflect any of these anticipated cost savings or benefits in the pro forma information. Finally, the pro forma financial information does not reflect any divestitures of branches or deposits that may be required in connection with the mergers. Therefore, the pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. The pro forma information also does not attempt to show how the combined company would actually have performed had the companies been combined throughout these periods. All adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of results of the unaudited historical interim periods have been included.

        As described in Note 1, on October 8, 2001, First Charter Bank, N.A. merged with and into First Professional Bank, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of First Community. The First Charter merger was accounted for using purchase accounting. Due to the materiality of this acquisition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, and for the year ended December 31, 2000, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are additionally presented as if the First Charter merger occurred at the beginning of the periods for the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income and as of the indicated dates for the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets. Such information presented is not intended to reflect the actual results that would have been achieved had the First Charter merger actually occurred on those dates, and it should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information included in other First Community filings.

F-1



        As described in Note 6, on January 16, 2001, Professional Bancorp merged with and into First Community. The Professional Merger was accounted for using purchase accounting. Due to the materiality of this acquisition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, and for the year ended December 31, 2000, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2000 are additionally presented as if the Professional Merger occurred at the beginning of the periods presented for the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income or as of December 31, 2000 for the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet. Such information presented is not intended to reflect the actual results that would have been achieved had the Professional Merger actually occurred on those dates, and it should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information included in other First Community filings.

        As described in Note 11, on August 21, 2001, First Community entered into an agreement to acquire Pacific Western National Bank (the "Pacific Western Acquisition"). The Pacific Western Acquisition will be accounted for using purchase accounting. Due to the materiality of this acquisition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, and for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are additionally presented as if the Pacific Western Acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods for the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income and as of the indicated dates for the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets. Such information presented is not intended to reflect the actual results that would have been achieved had the Pacific Western Acquisition actually occurred on those dates, and it should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information included herein.

        As described in Note 16, on November 12, 2001, First Community entered into an agreement to acquire W.H.E.C., Inc. (the "W.H.E.C. Acquisition"). The W.H.E.C. Acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Due to the materiality of this acquisition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, and for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are additionally presented as if the W.H.E.C. Acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods for the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income and as of the indicated dates for the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets. Such information presented is not intended to reflect the actual results that would have been achieved had the W.H.E.C. Acquisition actually occurred on those dates, and it should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements included in other First Community filings.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data
of First Community, First Charter, Professional Bancorp, Pacific Western and W.H.E.C.

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FIRST CHARTER

        Certain historical data of First Charter have been reclassified on a pro forma basis to conform to First Community's classifications. Transactions between First Community and First Charter are not material in relation to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, and have not been eliminated from the pro forma combined amounts. The unaudited pro forma numbers of common shares outstanding, common shareholders' equity per share, weighted average number of shares (basic and diluted) and income (loss) per share (basic and diluted) are based on the share amounts for First Community plus the share amounts for First Charter multiplied by the First Charter exchange ratio of 0.008635 and includes the conversion of First Charter convertible preferred stock into First Community common stock as provided by the merger agreement. Prior to the merger and the conversion of 7,000 shares of preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to the record date, First Charter has 2,289,779 common shares and 110,000 convertible preferred shares outstanding. The convertible preferred shares are equivalent to 72,368,421 First Charter common shares. As a result of the conversion of First Charter convertible preferred stock into First Community common stock, preferred dividends are eliminated in the pro forma combined condensed income statements.

NOTE 2: PURHCASE PRICE OF FIRST CHARTER ACQUISITION

        The purchase price is based on issuing approximately 661,609 common shares of First Community common stock. The price of First Community common stock on the acquisition date was $21.50 resulting in a total purchase price of approximately $14,225,000.

NOTE 3: ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE OF FIRST CHARTER ACQUISITION

        The purchase price of First Charter has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

         
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 32,317  
Time deposits in financial institutions     3,061  
Securities     25,768  
Net loans     61,841  
Goodwill     7,190  
Premises and equipment     290  
Other real estate owned     1,288  
Other assets     2,845  
Deposits     (110,745 )
Borrowed funds     (6,000 )
Other liabilities     (3,630 )
   
 
  Total purchase price   $ 14,225  
   
 

        In allocating the purchase price, the following adjustments were made to First Charter's historical amounts. Other liabilities were increased by $2,721,000, representing the estimated merger costs. Other assets were increased by $427,000, representing the tax effects of the estimated merger costs. Substantially all of other assets and liabilities are either variable rate or short-term in nature and fair market value adjustments were considered to be immaterial to the financial presentation. These preliminary purchase price adjustments are subject to further refinement.

F-8



        In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," beginning on January 1, 2002, amortization of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives will cease.

NOTE 4: MERGER COSTS OF FIRST CHARTER

        The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data reflect First Community's and First Charter's respective management's current estimate, for purposes of pro forma presentation, of the aggregate estimated merger costs of $2,721,000 ($2,294,000 net of taxes, computed using the combined federal and state tax rate of 42.0%) expected to be incurred in connection with the First Charter merger. While a portion of these costs may be required to be recognized over time, the current estimate of these costs has been recorded in the pro forma combined balance sheets in order to disclose the aggregate effect of these activities on First Community's pro forma combined financial position. The estimated aggregate costs include the following:

Employee costs   $ 446,000
Conversion costs     400,000
Other costs     170,000
   
      1,016,000
Tax benefits     427,000
   
      589,000
Investment banking and other professional fees     1,705,000
   
    $ 2,294,000
   

        These cost estimates are forward-looking. While the costs represent management's current estimate of merger costs that will be incurred, the ultimate level and timing of recognition of such costs will be based on the final merger and integration plan to be completed prior to consummation of the merger of First Charter with First Community, which will be developed by various of First Community's and First Charter's task forces and integration committees. Readers are cautioned that the completion of the merger and integration plan and the resulting management plans detailing actions to be undertaken to effect the merger and resultant integration of operations will impact these estimates; the type and amount of costs incurred could vary materially from these estimates if future developments differ from the underlying assumptions used by management in determining the current estimate of these costs.

NOTE 5: KEY TO PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS OF FIRST CHARTER ACQUISITION

        Summarized below are the pro forma adjustments necessary to reflect the acquisition of First Charter based on the purchase method of accounting:

    aa)
    Reflect goodwill resulting from the purchase method of accounting. See note 3.

    bb)
    Reflect the deferred tax asset to the deductible merger costs. See note 4.

    cc)
    Adjust liabilities for accrued merger costs. See note 4.

    dd)
    Reflect conversion of preferred stock to First Community common stock

    ee)
    Reflect issuance of common stock to First Charter shareholders.

    ff)
    Eliminate First Charter additional paid-in-capital.

    gg)
    Eliminate First Charter retained losses.

    hh)
    Eliminate First Charter unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale.

NOTE 6: BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF PROFESSIONAL ACQUISITION

        On January 16, 2001, Professional Bancorp, Inc. merged (the "Professional Merger") with and into First Community, with First Community as the surviving entity. The merger was consummated pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 7, 2000, by and between First Community and Professional Bancorp (the "Professional Merger Agreement").

        Pursuant to the Professional Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Professional Bancorp prior to the Professional Merger (other than as provided in the Professional Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive either 0.55 shares of First Community Common Stock or $8.00 in cash. Upon consummation of the Professional Merger, First Community issued approximately 504,747 shares of common stock to former holders of Professional Bancorp common stock, and as a result, the former shareholders of Professional Bancorp common stock own shares of First Community common stock representing approximately 11.3% of the outstanding shares of First Community common stock.

        The Professional Merger was accounted for using the purchase method. Therefore, operating results of First Community for the year ended December 31, 2000 do not include the operations of Professional Bancorp. Also, the balance sheet of First Community as of December 31, 2000 does not include the balance sheet of Professional Bancorp. Due to the materiality of this acquisition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statement of Income for the one year period ended December 31, 2000 includes the operations of Professional Bancorp, Inc. as if the Professional Merger occurred at the beginning of the period and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2000 includes Professional Bancorp, Inc. as if the Professional Merger had occurred on that date.

        The information for Professional Bancorp, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2000 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Professional Bancorp. This information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Professional Bancorp, Inc. including the respective notes thereto, which are included in other First Community filings. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data does not give effect to any operating efficiencies anticipated in conjunction with the Professional Merger.

        Certain historical data of Professional Bancorp, Inc. have been reclassified on a pro forma basis to conform to First Community's classifications.

NOTE 7: PURCHASE PRICE AND FUNDING OF PROFESSIONAL MERGER

        The purchase price is based on $8 per share for Professional Bancorp, Inc. shareholders receiving the cash consideration and an exchange ratio of 0.55 First Community shares for Professional Bancorp shareholders receiving the stock consideration. Based on the $14.81 closing price of First Community on the day prior to the completion of the Professional Merger, those Professional Bancorp, Inc. shareholders choosing the stock consideration received a value of $8.15 per share.

F-10



        The total consideration paid in connection with the Professional Merger is calculated as:

 
  Stock
Consideration

  Cash
Consideration

  Total
Professional Bancorp common shares outstanding     917,722     1,113,032     2,030,754
Exchange ratio     0.55            
   
 
 
      504,747     1,113,032      
Value received   $ 14.81   $ 7.96 *    
   
 
 
  Total purchase price   $ 7,475,000   $ 8,858,000   $ 16,333,000
   
 
 

*
Less than $8.00 per share as a result of First Community purchasing some shares at market prior to the Professional Merger.

        The cash portion of the purchase price was financed through a combination of the issuance of $8 million of trust preferred securities which occurred in September 2000, a revolving line of credit and dividends from First Community's subsidiary banks. (Note: Trust preferred securities count as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.)

        Professional Bancorp, Inc. shareholders had the option to elect cash of $8 or 0.55 shares of First Community common stock for each share of Professional Bancorp, Inc. common stock owned. Based upon the elections, 917,722 shares of Professional Bancorp Common Stock were exchanged for approximately 504,747 shares of First Community Common Stock and 1,113,032 shares of Professional Bancorp Common Stock were exchanged for approximately $8,904,000.

        As a result of the issuance of trust preferred, historical interest expense on the accompanying pro forma combined condensed income statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, has been increased by $582,000 representing the interest expense on the trust preferred.

NOTE 8: ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE OF PROFESSIONAL MERGER

        The purchase price of Professional Bancorp, Inc. has been allocated as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents   $ 95,002,000  
Time deposits in financial institutions     447,000  
Securities     61,370,000  
Net loans     102,376,000  
Goodwill     4,634,000  
Premises and equipment     817,000  
Other assets     7,763,000  
Deposits     (249,135,000 )
Borrowed funds     (679,000 )
Other liabilities     (6,262,000 )
   
 
  Total purchase price   $ 16,333,000  
   
 

        In allocating the purchase price, the following adjustments were made to Professional Bancorp, Inc.'s historical amounts. Other liabilities were increased by $3,144,000, representing the estimated merger costs. Other assets were increased by $2,923,000, representing the tax effects of the estimated merger costs and the reduction of the valuation reserve against the deferred tax asset. Substantially all of other assets and liabilities are either variable rate or short-term in nature and fair value adjustments were considered to be immaterial to the financial presentation. Goodwill is amortized on a straight line basis over fifteen years. These preliminary purchase price adjustments are subject to further refinement.

F-11



NOTE 9: MERGER COSTS OF PROFESSIONAL MERGER

        The table below reflects First Community's current estimate, for purposes of pro forma presentation, of the aggregate estimated merger costs of $3,144,000 ($221,000 net of taxes, computed using the combined federal and state tax rate of 42.0%) expected to be incurred in connection with the merger. While a portion of these costs may be required to be recognized over time, the current estimate of these costs has been recorded in the pro forma combined balance sheet in order to disclose the aggregate effect of these activities on First Community's pro forma combined financial position. The estimated aggregate costs, primarily comprised of anticipated cash charges, include the following:

Employee costs (severance and retention costs)   $ 2,220,000
Professional services     169,000
Conversion and other costs     755,000
   
  Total     3,144,000
Tax benefits of above costs     1,003,000
Reversal of tax valuation allowance     1,920,000
   
  Net merger costs   $ 221,000
   

        First Community management's cost estimates are forward-looking. While the costs represent First Community management's current estimate of merger costs associated with the merger that will be incurred, the ultimate level and timing of recognition of such costs will be based on the final integration in connection with consummation of the merger. Readers are cautioned that the completion of this integration and other actions that may be taken in connection with the merger will impact these estimates. The type and amount of actual costs incurred could vary materially from these estimates if future developments differ from the underlying assumptions used by management in determining the current estimate of these costs.

NOTE 10: KEY TO PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS OF PROFESSIONAL MERGER

        Summarized below are the pro forma adjustments necessary to reflect the acquisition of Professional Bancorp, Inc. based on the purchase method of accounting:

    a)
    Use cash as part of the cash portion of the purchase price. See note 7.

    b)
    Reflect goodwill resulting from the purchase method of accounting. See note 8.

    c)
    Reflect the deferred tax asset related to the deductible merger costs. See note 9.

    d)
    Adjust liabilities for accrued merger costs. See note 9.

    e)
    Reflect issuance of common stock to Professional Bancorp, Inc. shareholders.

    f)
    Eliminate Professional Bancorp, Inc. additional paid-in-capital.

    g)
    Eliminate Professional Bancorp, Inc. treasury stock.

    h)
    Eliminate Professional Bancorp, Inc. retained losses.

    i)
    Eliminate Professional Bancorp, Inc. unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale.

    j)
    Interest expense related to the issuance of trust preferred.

    k)
    Amortization of goodwill on a straight-line basis over fifteen years.

    l)
    Tax benefits associated with the additional interest expense.

NOTE 11: BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF PACIFIC WESTERN ACQUISITION

        On August 21, 2001, First Community entered into an agreement with Pacific Western National Bank ("Pacific Western," the "Pacific Western Agreement"), whereby Pacific Western would merge with and into a subsidiary of First Community (the "Pacific Western Acquisition"). It is expected that the Pacific Western Acquisition will close in the first quarter of 2002.

        Pursuant to the Pacific Western Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Pacific Western prior to the Pacific Western Acquisition (other than as provided in the Pacific Western Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive $37.15 in cash, for a total purchase price of approximately $36.6 million. First Community anticipates raising $30,000,000 through a rights offering of 1,538,000 shares of First Community Common Stock. The remainder of the purchase price will be funded through cash available at Pacific Western.

        The Pacific Western Acquisition will be accounted for using purchase accounting. Therefore, operating results of First Community for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 will not include the operations of Pacific Western. Also, the balance sheets of First Community as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 will not include the balance sheet of Pacific Western. Due to the materiality of this acquisition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 and the one year period ended December 31, 2000 includes the operations of Pacific Western as if the Pacific Western Acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 include Pacific Western as if the Pacific Western Acquisition had occurred on those dates.

        The information for Pacific Western as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Pacific Western. This information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Pacific Western including the respective notes thereto, which are included in other First Community filings. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data does not give effect to any operating efficiencies anticipated in conjunction with the Pacific Western Acquisition.

        Certain historical data of Pacific Western have been reclassified on a pro forma basis to conform to First Community's classifications.

NOTE 12: PURCHASE PRICE AND FUNDING OF PACIFIC WESTERN ACQUISITION

        The purchase price is based on $37.15 per share for Pacific Western shareholders.

        The total consideration to be paid in connection with the Pacific Western Acquisition is calculated as:

 
  Shares
  Price/
"In the Money"

  Total
Consideration

NOTE 13: ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE OF PACIFIC WESTERN ACQUISITION

        The purchase price of Pacific Western has been preliminarily allocated as follows (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents   $ 52,016  
Securities     19,075  
Net loans     183,140  
Goodwill     20,920  
Premises and equipment     3,290  
Other assets     3,790  
Deposits     (240,440 )
Other liabilities     (5,161 )
   
 
  Total purchase price   $ 36,630  
   
 

        In allocating the purchase price, the following adjustments were made to Pacific Western's historical amounts. Other liabilities were increased by $4,074,000, representing the estimated merger costs. Other assets were increased by $855,000, representing the tax effects of the estimated merger costs. Substantially all of other assets and liabilities are either variable rate or short-term in nature and fair value adjustments were considered to be immaterial to the financial presentation. These preliminary purchase price adjustments are subject to further refinement, including the determination of a core deposit premium.

        In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized for acquisitions initiated after June 30, 2001.

NOTE 14: MERGER COSTS OF PACIFIC WESTERN ACQUISITION

        The table below reflects First Community's current estimate, for purposes of pro forma presentation, of the aggregate estimated merger costs of $4,074,000 ($3,219,000 net of taxes, computed using the combined federal and state tax rate of 42.0%) expected to be incurred in connection with the acquition. While a portion of these costs may be required to be recognized over time, the current estimate of these costs has been recorded in the pro forma combined balance sheets in order to disclose the aggregate effect of these activities on First Community's pro forma combined financial position. The estimated aggregate costs, primarily comprised of anticipated cash charges, include the following:

Employee costs   $ 1,065,000
Conversion costs     400,000
Other costs     570,000
   
      2,035,000
Tax benefits     855,000
   
      1,180,000
Investment banking and other professional fees     2,039,000
   
    $ 3,219,000
   

        First Community management's cost estimates are forward-looking. While the costs represent First Community management's current estimate of merger costs associated with the merger that will be incurred, the ultimate level and timing of recognition of such costs will be based on the final integration in connection with consummation of the merger. Readers are cautioned that the completion of this integration and other actions that may be taken in connection with the merger will impact these

F-14



estimates. The type and amount of actual costs incurred could vary materially from these estimates if future developments differ from the underlying assumptions used by management in determining the current estimate of these costs.

NOTE 15: KEY TO PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS OF PACIFIC WESTERN ACQUISITION

        Summarized below are the pro forma adjustments necessary to reflect the acquisition of Pacific Western based on the purchase method of accounting:

aaa)   Cash raised which is not used as part of purchase. See note 12.

bbb)

 

Reflect goodwill resulting from the purchase method of accounting. See note 13.

ccc)

 

Reflect the deferred tax asset related to the deductible merger costs. See note 14.

ddd)

 

Adjust liabilities for accrued merger costs. See note 14.

eee)

 

Reflect issuance of common stock via a $20,000,000 rights offering less existing Pacific Western common stock of $1,536,000.

fff)

 

Eliminate Pacific Western additional paid-in-capital.

ggg)

 

Eliminate Pacific Western retained earnings.

hhh)

 

Eliminate Pacific Western unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale.

iii)

 

Estimated interest expense related to issuance of trust preferred at an assumed interest rate of 7.5% per annum. Had interest expense on the trust preferred securities varied by 1/2%, the effect on net income (loss) would have $14,500 after tax-per annum.

jjj)

 

Tax benefits associated with the reduced net interest income.

kkk)

 

Reflect issuance of $20,000,000 of trust preferred.

Note 16: BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF W.H.E.C.

        On November 12, 2001, First Community entered into an agreement with W.H.E.C., Inc., ("W.H.E.C."), the holding company of Capital Bank of North County, the "W.H.E.C. Agreement"), whereby W.H.E.C. would merge with and into First Community and Capital Bank would merge with and into a subsidiary of First Community ("the W.H.E.C. Acquisition"). It is expected that the W.H.E.C. Acquisition will close in the second quarter of 2002.

        Pursuant to the W.H.E.C. Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of W.H.E.C. prior to the W.H.E.C. Acquisition (other than as provided in the W.H.E.C. Agreement) will be converted into First Community common stock using an exchange ratio of 0.2353 (subject to adjustment as provided in the W.H.E.C. Agreement).

        The W.H.E.C. Acquisition will be accounted for using purchase accounting. Therefore, operating results of First Community for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 will not include the operations of W.H.E.C. Also, the balance sheets of First Community as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 will not include the balance sheet of W.H.E.C. Due to the materiality of the acquisition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 and the one year period ended December 31, 2000 includes the operations of W.H.E.C. as if the W.H.E.C. Acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 include W.H.E.C. as if the W.H.E.C. Acquisition had occurred on those dates.

F-15



        The information for W.H.E.C. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000 is derived from the audited financial statements of W.H.E.C. This information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of W.H.E.C. including the respective notes thereto, which are included herein. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data does not give effect to any operating efficiencies anticipated in conjunction with the W.H.E.C. Acquisition.

        Certain historical data of W.H.E.C. have been reclassified on a pro forma basis to conform to First Community's classifications. The unaudited pro forma numbers of common shares outstanding, common shareholders' equity per share, weighted average number of shares (basic and diluted) and income (loss) per share (basic and diluted) are based on the share amounts for First Community plus the share amounts for W.H.E.C. multiplied by the W.H.E.C. exchange ratio of 0.2353 as provided by the merger agreement.

Note 17: PURCHASE PRICE AND FUNDING OF W.H.E.C. ACQUISITION

        The purchase price is based on issuing approximately 1,080,000 shares of First Community common stock. The price of First Community common stock on the acquisition date was $20.00 per share resulting in a total purchase price of approximately $21,600,000.

Note 18: ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE OF W.H.E.C. ACQUISITION

        The purchase price of W.H.E.C. has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents   $ 18,844  
Time deposits in financial institutions     450  
Securities     30,127  
Net loans     85,909  
Goodwill     13,471  
Premises and equipment     1,268  
Other assets     4,667  
Deposits     (129,042 )
Other liabilities     (4,094 )
   
 
  Total purchase price   $ 21,600  
   
 

        In allocating the purchase price, the following adjustments were made to W.H.E.C.'s historical amounts. Other liabilities were increased by $2,957,000, representing the estimated merger costs. Other assets were increased by $651,000, representing the tax effects of the estimated merger costs. Substantially all of other assets and liabilities are either variable rate or short-term in nature and fair market value adjustments were considered to be immaterial to the financial presentation. These preliminary purchase price adjustments are subject to further refinement, including the determination of a core deposit premium.

Note 19: MERGER COSTS OF W.H.E.C.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed financial data reflect First Community's and W.H.E.C.'s respective management's current estimate, for purposes of pro forma presentation, of the aggregate estimated merger costs of $2,957,000 ($2,306,000 net of taxes, computed using the combined federal and state tax rate of 42%) expected to be incurred in connection with the W.H.E.C. merger. While a portion of these costs may be required to be recognized over time, the current estimate of these cots has been recorded in the pro forma combined balance sheets in order to disclose the aggregate effect

F-16



of these activities on First Community's pro forma combined financial position. The estimated aggregate costs include the following:

Employee costs   $ 981,000
Conversion costs     400,000
Other costs     170,000
   
      1,551,000
Tax benefits     651,000
   
Investment banking and other professional fees     1,406,000
   
    $ 2,306,000
   

        These cost estimates are forward-looking. While the costs represent management's current estimate of merger costs that will be incurred, the ultimate level and timing of recognition of such costs will be based on the final merger and integration by various of First Community's and W.H.E.C.'s task forces and integration committees. Readers are cautioned that the completion of the merger and integration plan and the resulting management plans detailing actions to be undertaken to effect the merger and resultant integration of operations will impact these estimates; the type and amount of costs incurred could vary materially from these estimates if future developments differ from the underlying assumptions used by management in determining the current estimate of these costs.

NOTE 20: KEY TO PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS OF W.H.E.C. ACQUISITION

        Summarized below are the pro forma adjustments necessary to reflect the acquisition of W.H.E.C. based on the purchase method of accounting:

aaaa)   Reflect goodwill resulting from the purchase method of accounting. See note 18.
bbbb)   Reflect the deferred tax asset to the deductible merger costs. See note 19.
cccc)   Adjust liabilities for accrued merger costs. See note 19.
dddd)   Reflect issuance of common stock to W.H.E.C. shareholders
eeee)   Eliminate W.H.E.C. additional paid-in capital.
ffff)   Eliminate W.H.E.C. retained earnings
gggg)   Eliminate W.H.E.C. unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Management Representation

        The accompanying financial information has been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for quarterly reporting and therefore does not necessarily include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

        Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals and provisions, necessary for a fair presentation thereof.

Note 2—Earnings Per Share

        Effective December 31, 1997, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Accordingly, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share also considers the number of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

         Board of Directors and Shareholders
Pacific Western National Bank

        We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Pacific Western National Bank as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pacific Western National Bank as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PACIFIC WESTERN NATIONAL BANK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

        Pacific Western National Bank has been organized and operates as a single operating segment. The Bank maintains three branches in Los Angeles County and one in Orange County. The Bank's primary source of revenue is providing loans to customers, who are predominately small and middle-market businesses and individuals.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

Cash and Due From Banks

        Banking regulations require that all banks maintain a percentage of their deposits as reserves in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank complied with the reserve requirements as of December 31, 2000.

        The Bank maintains amounts due from banks, which exceed federally insured limits. The Bank has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Investment Securities

        The Bank applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", which addresses the accounting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for investments in all debt securities. Pursuant to SFAS No. 115, Securities are classified in three categories and accounted for as follows: Debt securities that the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are measured at amortized cost; debt and equity securities bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities and are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities are deemed available-for-sale and are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Loans and Interest on Loans

        Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of any deferred loan origination fee income and deferred direct loan origination costs, and net of any unearned interest on discounted

F-6



loans. Deferred loan origination fee income and direct loan origination costs are amortized to interest income over the life of the loan using the interest method. Interest on loans is accrued to income daily based upon the outstanding principal balances.

        Loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on such loans is discontinued when there exists a reasonable doubt as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest. Income on such loans is then only recognized to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of principal is probable. Accrual of interest is resumed only when principal and interest are brought fully current and when such loans are considered to be collectible as to both principal and interest.

        For impairment recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (SFAS No. 114), as amended by SFAS No. 118, the entire change in the present value of expected cash flows is reported as either provision for loan losses in the same manner in which impairment initially was recognized, or as a reduction in the amount of provision for loan losses that otherwise would be reported.

Allowance For Loan Losses

        The allowance for loan losses is established by a provision charged to current period income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when the loan's principal is deemed uncollectible. Loan recoveries are only recognized to the extent that cash is received. The allowance is maintained at a level considered adequate, in management's judgment, to provide for loan losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance takes into consideration several factors including but not exclusively, current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, and factors affecting collectibility on specific borrowers based upon regular credit reviews.

Premises and Equipment

        Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which ranges from three to ten years for furniture and fixtures and forty years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Expenditures for betterments or major repairs are capitalized and those for ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

Income Taxes

        Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts reported in the statements of income (after exclusion of nontaxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities) and include deferred taxes on temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Deferred taxes are computed on the liability method as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".

F-7



Comprehensive Income

        Beginning in 1998, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which requires the disclosure of comprehensive income and its components. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities net of income taxes is the only component of accumulated other comprehensive income for the Bank.

Earnings Per Shares (EPS)

        Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        SFAS No. 107 specifies the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. The Bank's estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Bank using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.

        However, considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Bank could have realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since the balance sheet date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented in the accompanying Notes.

Stock-Based Compensation

        SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but does not require, banks to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Bank has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Bank's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The pro forma effects of adoption are disclosed in Note 10.

Current Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (as amended in 2000 by SFAS No. 138). This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. This new standard was originally effective for 2000. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments

F-8



and Hedging Activities—Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133". This Statement establishes the effective date of SFAS No. 133 for 2001. SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank's financial statements.

Reclassifications

        Certain reclassifications were made to prior years' presentations to conform to the current year. These reclassifications are of a normal recurring nature.

NOTE 3—LOANS AND THE RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

        The Bank's loan portfolio consists primarily of loans to borrowers within the counties of Los Angeles and Orange. Although the Bank seeks to avoid concentrations of loans to a single industry or based upon a single class of collateral, real estate is among the principal industries in the Bank's market area and, as a result, the Bank's loan and collateral portfolios are, to some degree, concentrated in that industry. The majority of the Bank's consumer loans are auto loans purchased through automobile dealers.

        The following is a summary of the major components of loans outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 1999:

 
  December 31,
 
 
  2000

        During 1999 and 2000 the Bank constructed a building to house a new branch and administrative center in Brea California. This facility was completed and occupied in early 2000. The Bank has entered into a sale-leaseback transaction subject to a 20-year lease with two 10-year options to renew. The Bank received a below market rate on the rent for the initial term as part of overall sales consideration. Prepaid rent of approximately $559,000 at December 31, 2000 is included in other assets and will be amortized to lease expense over the initial term of the lease.

        The Bank possesses premises and equipment under noncancelable long-term operating leases expiring on various dates through 2011 with renewal options through 2021. At December 31, 2000, the approximate future minimum rental commitments under these leases are as follows:

2001   $ 352,000
2002     325,000
2003     267,000
2004     267,000
2005     267,000
Thereafter     3,340,000
   
Total   $ 4,818,000
   

        Rental payments for premises charged to operating expense amounted to approximately $347,000, $193,000, and $162,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 5—DEPOSITS

NOTE 6—INCOME TAXES

        The provisions for income tax for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, were as follows:

 
  2000
  1999
  1998
 
Current                    
  Federal   $ 1,209,375   $ 915,125   $ 675,000  
  State     426,165     344,285     207,200  
   
 
 
 
      1,635,540     1,259,410     882,200  
Deferred     (174,000 )   (133,000 )   (36,000 )
   
 
 
 
    $ 1,461,540   $ 1,126,410   $ 846,200  
   
 
 
 

        The provision for income taxes for 2000, 1999, and 1998 reflects effective rates of 40.8%, 41.1% and 40.3%, respectively. A reconciliation of the statutory income tax of 34% to the income tax provision is as follows:

 
  2000
  1999
  1998
 
Federal Income Tax at the Statutory Rate   $ 1,217,000   $ 932,000   $ 714,000  
State Franchise Tax, Net of the Federal Income Tax Benefit     256,000     196,000     136,000

Total Income Tax Provision   $ 1,461,540   $ 1,126,410   $ 846,200  
   
 
 
 

        Deferred taxes arise primarily from timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for tax and financial reporting purposes.

        The following is a summary of the components of the net deferred tax assets included in other assets on the balance sheet:

 
  2000
  1999

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        In the normal course of business, the Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit. To varying degrees, these instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Bank had commitments of approximately $35,663,000 and $27,148,000, respectively.

        Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, income-producing commercial properties, residential properties and properties under construction.

        Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

        The Bank is involved in various litigation. In the opinion of management and the Bank's legal counsel, the disposition of all litigation pending will not have a material effect on the Bank's financial statements.

NOTE 8—TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS

        In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has granted loans to certain directors and the companies with which they are associated. In the Bank's opinion, all loans and loan commitments to such parties are made on substantially the same terms including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. The balance of these loans outstanding was approximately $878,000, $1,041,000, and $2,100,000, at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

        Legal fees of approximately $60,000, $94,000, and $95,000, were paid during 2000, 1999, and 1998 to a law firm with which a director of the Bank is affiliated.

NOTE 9—RISK-BASED CAPITAL ADEQUACY

        The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory—and possibly additional discretionary—actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

F-14


        Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2000, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

        As of December 31, 2000, the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (there are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category). To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum ratios as set forth in the table below. The following table also sets forth the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios (dollar amounts in thousands):

  Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)   $ 15,365   10.13%   $ 6,067   4.0%   $ 7,584   5.0%

        The Bank is restricted as to the amount of dividends which can be paid. Dividends declared by national banks that exceed the net income (as defined) for the current year plus retained net income for the preceding two years must be approved by the OCC. The Bank may not pay dividends that would result in its capital levels being reduced below the minimum requirements shown above.

NOTE 10—STOCK OPTION PLAN

        At December 31, 2000, the Bank had a fixed option plan under which 123,765 shares of the Bank's common stock, retroactively adjusted for stock splits, may be issued at not less than 100% of the fair value at the date the options are granted. The Bank applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed stock option plans.

        The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions; risk-free rates of 6% in 2000, 5.0% in 1999 and 4.5% in 1998, volatility of 5% and expected lives of 5 years in 2000 and 1999 and three years in 1998. The weighted-average fair value of options granted was $5.10 in 2000, $5.74 in 1999 and $5.94 in 1998.

NOTE 13—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

        Fair value estimates are based on financial instruments both on and off the balance sheet without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Additionally, tax consequences related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a potential effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in many of the estimates.

        The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments:

Financial Assets

        The carrying amounts of cash, short term investments, due from customers on acceptances, and Bank acceptances outstanding are considered to approximate fair value. Short term investments include federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and interest bearing deposits with Banks. The fair values of investment securities, including available for sale, are generally based on quoted market prices. The fair value of loans are estimated using a combination of techniques, including discounting estimated future cash flows and quoted market prices of similar instruments where available.

F-17


Financial Liabilities

        The carrying amounts of deposit liabilities payable on demand, commercial paper, and other borrowed funds are considered to approximate fair value. For fixed maturity deposits, fair value is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using currently offered rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of long term debt is based on rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

        The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. The fair value of these financial instruments is not material.

        The estimated fair value of financial instruments at December 31, 2000 and 1999 are summarized as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 
  2000
  1999
 
  Carrying Amount
  Fair Value
  Carrying Amount
  Fair Value
Financial Assets

NOTE 14—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Stock Dividend

        In June 2001, the Bank declared a 5% stock dividend. All earning per share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock dividend.

Proposed Merger

        On August 22, 2001, the Bank announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement ("the Agreement") whereby First Community Bancorp will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of the Bank.

        The Agreement provides that the holders of the outstanding common shares and options to purchase common shares of the Bank will be paid $37.15 per share, for a total purchase price of $36.6 million. The merger is subject to standard conditions, including the approval of the shareholders of the Bank and bank regulatory agencies. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2002.
