CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q and conform to practices within the banking industry and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair representation of financial results for the interim periods presented. A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.

     Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CVB Financial Corp. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Citizens Business Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, Golden West Enterprises, Inc., Community Trust Deed Services, CVB Ventures, Inc., Chino Valley Bancorp, and ONB Bancorp after elimination of all material intercompany transactions and balances.

     Nature of Operations - The Company's primary operations are related to traditional banking activities, including the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money through the operations of the Bank. The Bank has one subsidiary, Golden West Enterprises, Inc., which provides automobile and equipment leasing and brokers mortgage loans. It is located in Costa Mesa, California. The Bank also provides trust services to customers through its Wealth Management Division and Business Financial Centers (branch offices). The Bank's customers consist primarily of small to mid-sized businesses and individuals located in the Inland Empire, San Gabriel Valley, Orange, Los Angeles and Kern County areas of Southern California. The Bank operates 32 Business Financial Centers (branches) with its headquarters located in the city of Ontario.

     Investment Securities - The Company classifies as held-to-maturity those debt securities that it has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. All other debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Securities held-to-maturity are accounted for at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities available-for-sale are accounted for at fair value, with the net unrealized gains and losses (unless other than temporary), net of income tax effects, presented as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized in earnings at the time of sale and are determined on a specific-identification basis. The Company's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock is classified as available-for-sale but is carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

     Loans and Lease Finance Receivables - Loans and lease finance receivables are reported at the principal amount outstanding, less deferred net loan origination fees and the allowance for credit losses. Interest on loans and lease finance receivables is credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income is not recognized on loans and lease finance receivables when collection of interest is deemed by management to be doubtful. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit to its customers. These commitments are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had entered into commitments with certain customers amounting to $472.7 million compared to $383.2 million at December 31, 2001. Letters of credit at September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, were $13.5 million and $12.5 million, respectively.

     The Bank receives collateral to support loans, lease finance receivables, and commitments to extend credit for which collateral is deemed necessary. The most significant categories of collateral are real estate, principally commercial and industrial income-producing properties, real estate mortgages, and assets utilized in agribusiness.

     Nonrefundable fees and direct costs associated with the origination or purchase of loans are deferred and netted against outstanding loan balances in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Associated Cost with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Costs of Leases". The deferred net loan fees and costs are recognized in interest income over the loan term in a manner that approximates the level-yield method.

     Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses - The determination of the balance in the allowance for credit losses is based on an analysis of the loan and lease finance receivables portfolio using a systematic methodology and reflects an amount that, in management's judgment, is adequate to provide for probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio, after giving consideration to the character of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past credit loss experience, and such other factors as deserve current recognition in estimating inherent credit losses. The provision for credit losses is charged to expense.

     A loan for which collection of principal and interest according to its original terms is not probable is considered to be impaired. The Company's policy is to record a specific valuation allowance, which is included in the allowance for credit losses.

     The Bank accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures." Impaired loans totaled $5.2 million at September 30, 2002. These loans were supported by collateral with a fair market value, net of prior liens, of $5.2 million. Amount of reserve for these loans is $3.8 million as of September 30, 2002.

     Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, which is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives using the straight-line method. Properties under capital lease and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the initial terms of the leases.

     Other Real Estate Owned - Other real estate owned represents real estate acquired through foreclosure in satisfaction of commercial and real estate loans and is stated at fair value, minus estimated costs to sell (fair value at time of foreclosure). Loan balances in excess of fair value of the real estate acquired at the date of acquisition are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Any subsequent operating expenses or income, reduction in estimated values, and gains or losses on disposition of such properties are charged to current operations.

     Business Combinations and Intangible Assets– In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141, “Accounting for Business Combinations,” which eliminated the pooling method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company adopted this accounting standard for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.

     In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which addresses the financial accounting and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. This accounting standard requires that goodwill be separately disclosed from other intangible assets in the statement of financial position, and no longer be amortized but tested for impairment on a periodic basis.

     The Company has engaged in the acquisition of financial institutions and the assumption of deposits and purchase of assets from other financial institutions in its market area. The Company has paid premiums on certain transactions, and such premiums are recorded as intangible assets, in the form of goodwill or other intangible assets. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not being amortized whereas identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives.

     Additionally, as required by SFAS No. 142, during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company completed a transitional impairment test and did not record any impairment of goodwill. At September 30, 2002 goodwill was $5.2 million (net of amortization of $7.1 million recorded prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142). As of September 30, 2002, intangible assets that continue to be subject to amortization include core deposits of $7.4 million (net of $1.1 million of accumulated amortization). Amortization expense for such intangible assets was $347,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2002 is expected to be $268,000 and for each of the succeeding five fiscal years, $1.5 million. With the implementation of SFAS No. 142, the amortization of goodwill in the approximate amount of $703,000 ceased as of January 1, 2002. The impact on net income and earnings per common share (basic and diluted) is not considered significant.

     Recent Acquisition - On June 28, 2002, the Bank acquired 100% of Western Security Bank, National Association and its subsidiaries, Western Security Acceptance Corporation and Western Security Finance Corporation, with deposits of approximately $138.6 million and net loans of approximately $95.4 million in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The all cash purchase price was $6.2 million. The Bank is in the process of obtaining valuations on certain assets; thus, the allocation of the purchase price and the intangible assets is subject to adjustment. At September 30, 2002, based on current estimates, an intangible asset classified as a core deposit intangible in the approximate amount of $5.2 million with a finite life was recorded. As a result of the transaction the Bank acquired one new banking office in Burbank, California. The merger contributed to the growth of the Company's deposits, loans, and assets in the second quarter. It is the intention of the Bank to dissolve the two subsidiaries whose operations were merged into the Bank immediately after the acquisition.

     On July 1, 2002, the Bank acquired 100% of Golden West Enterprises, Inc., a leasing company with net leases of approximately $20.3 million in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The all cash purchase price was $2.9 million. The Bank is in the process of obtaining valuations on certain intangible assets; thus, the allocation of the purchase price has not been determined. Golden West Enterprises, Inc. will operate as a subsidiary of the Bank. Golden West Enterprises, Inc. specializes in leasing automobiles and equipment. As a result of the acquisition, the Bank expects to increase its market share by expanding its leasing product line.

    Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income

    Earnings per Common Share - Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share considers the number of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options. Earnings per common share and stock option amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to all stock splits and dividends. The actual number of shares outstanding at September 30, 2002 was 34,810,736. During the month of July 2002, the Company reacquired and retired a total of 100,000 shares of its common stock in the open market at a purchase price of $21.00 per share for a cost of $2.1 million. Basic earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options. All 2001 earnings per share information in the financial statements and in Management's Discussion and Analysis has been restated to give retroactive effect, as applicable, to the 5-for-4 stock split declared in December 2001, which became effective January 4, 2002. The table below presents the reconciliation of earnings per share for the periods indicated.

                                                                 Earnings Per Share Reconciliation

     Statement of Cash Flows - Cash and cash equivalents as reported in the statements of cash flows include cash and due from banks and fed funds sold.

     Trust Services - The Company maintains funds in trust for customers. The amount of these funds and the related liability have not been recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because they are not assets or liabilities of the Bank or Company, with the exception of any funds held on deposit with the Bank. Trust fees are recorded on an accrual basis.

     Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions," which addresses the application of the purchase method of accounting applied to all acquisitions of financial institutions, except transactions between two or more mutual enterprises. The provisions of this statement that relate to the application of SFAS 144 apply to certain long-term customer-relationship intangible assets recognized in an acquisition of a financial institution, including those acquired in transactions between mutual enterprises. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS 147 for acquisitions of certain financial institutions that are initiated after October 1, 2002. Management believes that the adoption of the statement on October 1, 2002 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Management believes that the adoption of the statement on January 1, 2003 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     Reclassification - Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements and related footnote disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.


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

     Management's discussion and analysis is written to provide greater insight into the results of operations and the financial condition of CVB Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries. Throughout this discussion, "Company" refers to CVB Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity. "CVB" refers to CVB Financial Corp. as the unconsolidated parent company and "Bank" refers to Citizens Business Bank. For a more complete understanding of the Company and its operations, reference should be made to the financial statements included in this report and in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain statements in this Report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, competition in the geographic and business areas in which the Company conducts operations, fluctuations in interest rates, credit quality, and government regulations. For additional information concerning these factors, see "Item 1. Business - Factors That May Affect Results" contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     The banking and financial services industry in California generally, and in the Company's market areas specifically, is highly competitive. The increasingly competitive environment is a result primarily of changes in regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems, and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial services providers. The Company competes for loans, deposits, and customers with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, securities and brokerage companies, mortgage companies, insurance companies, finance companies, money market funds, credit unions, and other nonbank financial service providers. Many of these competitors are much larger in total assets and capitalization, have greater access to capital markets and offer a broader range of financial services than the Company. This competition has manifested itself with increased pricing pressures for loans and deposits, thus compressing the Company's net interest margin. Because of the pressure on the net interest margin, other operating income has become a more important element in the total revenue of the Company.

Recent Acquisition

     On June 28, 2002, the Bank acquired 100% of Western Security Bank, National Association and its subsidiaries, Western Security Acceptance Corporation and Western Security Finance Corporation, with deposits of approximately $138.6 million and net loans of approximately $95.4 million in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The all cash purchase price was $6.2 million and an intangible asset classified as a core deposit intangible in the approximate amount of $5.2 million with a finite life of 5 years was recorded. The Bank is in the process of obtaining valuations on certain intangible assets; thus, the allocation of the purchase price and the intangible assets is subject to adjustment. As a result of the transaction the Bank acquired one new banking office in Burbank, California. The merger contributed to the growth of the Company's deposits, loans, and assets. It is the intention of the Bank to dissolve the two subsidiaries whose operations were merged into the Bank immediately after the acquisition.

     On July 1, 2002, the Bank acquired 100% of Golden West Enterprises, Inc., a leasing company with net leases of approximately $20.4 million in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The all cash purchase price was $2.9 million. The Bank is in the process of obtaining valuations on certain intangible assets; thus, the allocation of the purchase price and the intangible assets is subject to adjustment. Golden West Enterprises, Inc. will operate as a subsidiary of the Bank. Golden West Enterprises, Inc. specializes in leasing automobiles, equipment, and brokering of real estate loans. As a result of the acquisition, the Bank expects to increase its market share by expanding its leasing product line

ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings

     The Company reported net earnings of $37.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This represented an increase of $7.91 million, or 27.04 %, over net earnings of $29.2 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Basic earnings per share for the nine-month period increased to $1.06 per share for 2002, compared to $0.84 per share for 2001. Diluted earnings per share increased to $1.04 per share for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $0.82 per share for the same nine-month period last year. The annualized return on average assets was 1.85% for the first nine months of 2002 compared to a return on average assets of 1.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The annualized return on average equity was 20.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to a return of 19.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

     For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company generated net earnings of $13.2 million. This represented an increase of $2.4 million, or 22.29%, over the net earnings of $10.8 million for the third quarter of 2001. Basic earnings per share increased to $0.38 for the third quarter of 2002 compared to $0.30 per share for the third quarter of 2001. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.37 per share compared to $0.30 per share for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The annualized return on average assets was 1.95% for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 1.89% for the same period last year. The annualized return on average equity was 21.66% for the third quarter of 2002 and 20.90% for the third quarter of 2001.

     Pre-tax operating earnings, which exclude the impact of gains or losses on sale of securities and OREO, and the provisions for credit and OREO losses, totaled $52.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This represented an increase of $4.1 million, or 8.49%, compared to operating earnings of $48.3 million for the first nine months of 2001. For the third quarter of 2002, pre-tax operating earnings totaled $18.1 million. This represented an increase of $1.3 million, or 7.74%, from pre-tax operating earnings of $16.8 million for the third quarter of 2001.

Net Interest Income

     The principal component of the Company's earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments (earning assets) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). When net interest income is expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, the result is the net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average earning assets minus the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. The Company's net interest income, interest spread, and net interest margin are sensitive to general business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of the economy, in general, and the local economies in which the Company conducts business. The Company's ability to manage the net interest income during changing interest rate environments will have a significant impact on its overall performance. The Company manages net interest income through affecting changes in the mix of earning assets as well as the mix of interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the level of interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to earning assets, and in the growth of earning assets.

     The Company's net interest income (before provision for credit losses) totaled $83.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This represented an increase of $7.3 million, or 9.59%, over net interest income of $76.2 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in net interest income of $7.3 million for 2002 resulted from a decrease of $3.4 million in interest income and a $10.7 million reduction in interest expense. The decrease in interest income of $3.4 million resulted from the decline in the average yield on earning assets to 6.38% for the first nine months of 2002 from 7.74% for the same period in 2001, which offset a $388.8 million increase in average earning-assets. The reduction of $10.7 million in interest expense resulted from the decline in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 2.56% for the first nine months of 2002 from 3.98% for the same period in 2001, which offset a $220.3 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.

     The decrease in interest income was primarily the result of the decline in the average yield on earning-assets. Interest income totaled $114.6 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represented a decrease of $3.4 million, or 2.87%, compared to total interest of $117.9 million for the same period last year.

     The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of the decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense totaled $31.1 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represented a decrease of $10.7 million, or 25.58%, over total interest expense of $41.8 million for the same period last year. Both the decline in the yield on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities reflects the general economy and the decreasing interest rate environment between the first nine months of 2001 and 2002.

     For the third quarter ending September 30, 2002, the Company's net interest income (before provision for credit losses) totaled $29.4 million. This represented an increase of $2.8 million, or 10.82%, over net interest income of $26.5 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in net interest income of $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2002 resulted from an increase of $1.5 million in interest income and a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest income of $1.5 million resulted from the decline in the average yield on earning assets to 6.57% for the third quarter of 2002 from 7.56% the same period in 2001, which offset a $422.4 million increase in average earning-assets. The reduction of $1.3 million in interest expense resulted from the decline in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 2.67% for the third quarter of 2002 from 3.53% the same period in 2001, which offset a $252.6 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.

     The decrease in interest income was primarily the result of the decline in the average yield on earning-assets. Interest income totaled $40.3 million for the third quarter of 2002. This represented an increase of $1.5 million, or 3.99%, compared to total interest of $38.8 million for the same period last year.

     The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of the decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense totaled $11.0 million for the third quarter of 2002. This represented a decrease of $1.3 million, or 10.75%, over total interest expense of $12.3 million for the same period last year. Both the decline in the yield on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities reflects the general economy and the decreasing interest rate environment between the third quarter of 2001 and 2002.

Table 1 shows the average balances of assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity and the related interest income, expense, and rates for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2002, and 2001. Yields for tax-preferenced investments are shown on a taxable equivalent basis using a 42% tax rate.

     As stated above, the net interest margin measures net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets. The net interest margin is an indication of how effectively the Company generates its source of funds and employs its earning assets. The Company's taxable equivalent (TE) net interest margin was 4.72% for the first nine months of 2002, compared to 5.11% for the same period last year. The decrease in the net interest margin over the same period last year is the result of a number of factors. The most significant was the decreasing interest rate environment, which impacted interest earned and interest paid as a percent of earning assets. This was partially offset by changes in the mix of assets and liabilities as follows:

  • Interest income as a percent of average earning assets decreased from 7.74% in the first nine months of 2001 to 6.38% in the same period of 2002, a decrease of 136 basis points
  • Interest expense as a percent of average earning assets decreased from 2.63% in the first nine months of 2001 to 1.66% in the same period of 2002, a decrease of 97 basis points
  • Increase in average demand deposits (interest free deposits) as a percent of average earning assets from 29.66% in the first nine months of 2001 to 31.64% for the same period in 2002
  • Decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities as a percent of average earning assets from 66.15% in the first nine months of 2001 to 64.69% for the same period in 2002
  • Decrease in average borrowings as a percent of average earning assets from 19.50% in the first nine months of 2001 to 15.52% in the same period of 2002
  • Increase in average fed funds as a percent of average earning assets from 0.40% in the first nine months of 2001 to 1.74% in the same period of 2002

     It is difficult to attribute the above changes to any one factor. However, the interest rate environment is a significant factor. In addition, the banking and financial services businesses in the Company's market areas are highly competitive. This competition has an influence on the strategies the Company employs. In addition, the Company believes that the change in mix of interest-free and interest-bearing deposits during 2001 and continuing in 2002, was in part due to money being transferred out of the stock market due to declining stock market values.

     Although the net interest margin has declined, net interest income has increased. This primarily reflects the growth in average earning assets from $2.1 billion in the first nine months of 2001 to $2.5 billion in the same period in 2002. This represents an 18.10% increase for the first nine months of 2002 over the same period last year.

     For the third quarter of 2002 the Company's taxable equivalent (TE) net interest margin was 4.86% as compared to 5.27% for the same period last year. The decrease in the net interest margin over the same period last year is the result of a number of factors. The most significant was the decreasing interest rate environment, which impacted interest earned and interest paid as a percent of earning assets.

     The net interest spread is the difference between the yield on average earning assets less the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest spread is an indication of the Company's ability to manage interest rates received on loans and investments and paid on deposits and borrowings in a competitive and changing interest rate environment. The Company's net interest spread (TE) was 3.82% for the first nine months of 2002 and 3.76% for the same period last year. The increase in the net interest spread for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 resulted from a 136 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets offset by a 142 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, thus generating a 6 basis point increase in the net interest spread over the same period last year.

     For the third quarter of 2002 the Company's net interest spread (TE) was 3.90% and 4.03% for the same period last year. The decrease in the net interest spread for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 resulted from a 99 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets offset by a 86 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, thus generating a 13 basis point decrease in the net interest spread over the same period last year.

     The yield (TE) on earning assets decreased to 6.38% for the first nine months of 2002, from 7.74% for the same period last year, and reflects a decreasing interest rate environment and a change in the mix of earning assets. Average loans as a percent of earning assets decreased to 48.67% in the first nine months of 2002 from 49.18% for the same period in 2001. Average investments as a percent of earning assets decreased to 49.59% in the first nine months of 2002 from 50.43% for the same period in 2001. Average federal funds sold as a percent of earning assets increased to 1.74% in the first nine months of 2002 from 0.40% for the same period in 2001. Investments and federal funds sold typically have a lower yield than loans. The Company was unable to generate quality loans at a pace necessary to achieve the desired increase in earning assets and as an alternative increased investments. The yield on loans for the first nine months of 2002 decreased to 7.26% as compared to 8.78% for the same period in 2001 as a result of the decreasing interest rate environment and competition for quality loans. The yield (TE) on investments for the first nine months of 2002 decreased to 5.68% compared to 6.75% for the same period in 2001 as a result of the decreasing interest rate environment and the reduction in the average maturity of the investment portfolio. The decrease in the yield on earning assets for the first nine months of 2002 was the result of lower yields on both loans and investments.

     The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.56% for the first nine months of 2002 as compared to 3.98% for the same period in 2001, reflecting a decreasing interest rate environment and a change in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities. Average borrowings as a percent of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 23.99% during the first nine months of 2002 as compared to 29.47% for the same period in 2001. Borrowings typically have a higher cost than interest-bearing deposits. During the first nine months of 2002 the Company was able to generate more interest-bearing deposits from its customers than in the same period last year and as a result needed to utilize less borrowing. The cost of interest-bearing deposits for the first nine months of 2002 decreased to 1.79% as compared to 3.40% for the same period in 2001, reflecting the decreasing interest rate environment offset by competition for interest-bearing deposits. The cost of borrowings for the first nine months of 2002 decreased to 5.00% as compared to 5.34% for the same period in 2001, also reflecting the decreasing interest rate environment.

     Table 2 summarizes the changes in interest income and interest expense based on changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average rates (rate). For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided with respect to changes attributable to (1) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by initial rate), (2) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by initial volume) and (3) changes in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume).

Interest and Fees on Loans

     The Company's major source of revenue, interest and fees on loans totaled $66.3 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represented a decrease of $2.3 million, or 3.34%, over interest and fees on loans of $68.6 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in interest and fees on loans for the first nine months of 2002 reflects increases in the average balance of loans offset by a lower interest rate environment. The yield on loans decreased to 7.26% for the first nine months of 2002, compared to 8.78% for the same period in 2001. Deferred loan origination fees, net of costs, totaled $3.9 million at September 30, 2002. This represented an increase of $575,000, or 17.56%, from deferred loan origination fees, net of costs, of $3.3 million at September 30, 2001.

     For the third quarter of 2002 interest and fees on loans totaled $24.0 million. This represented an increase of $1.4 million, or 6.44%, over interest and fees on loans of $22.6 million for the same period in 2001.

     In general, the Company stops accruing interest on a loan after its principal or interest becomes 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual all interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against earnings. There was no interest income that was accrued and not reversed on non-performing loans at September 30, 2002 and 2001.

     Fees collected on loans are an integral part of the loan pricing decision. Loan fees and the direct costs associated with the origination of loans are deferred and deducted from the loan balance. Deferred net loan fees are recognized in interest income over the term of the loan in a manner that approximates the level-yield method. The Company recognized loan fee income of $3.5 million for the first nine months of 2002, as compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $316,000, or 9.95%.

     The Company recognized loan fee income of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2002, as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2001.

Interest on Investments

     The second most important component of interest income is interest on investments, which totaled $47.7 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represented a decrease of $1.4 million, or 2.72%, over interest on investments of $49.1 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in interest on investments for the first nine months of 2002 over the same period last year reflected increases in the average balance of investments offset by a lower interest rate environment. The interest rate environment and the investment strategies the Company employs directly affect the yield on the investment portfolio. The Company continually adjusts its investment strategies in response to the changing interest rate environments in order to maximize the rate of total return consistent within prudent risk parameters, and to minimize the overall interest rate risk of the Company. The weighted-average yield (TE) on investments decreased to 5.68% for the first nine months of 2002, compared to 6.75% for the same period in 2001 as a result of the decreasing interest rate environment and the reduction in the average maturity of the investment portfolio.

     For the third quarter of 2002 interest income on investments totaled $16.1 million. This represented an increase of $75,000, or 0.47%, over interest on investments of $16.1 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in interest on investments for the third quarter of 2002 over the same period last year reflected increases in the average balance of investments offset by a lower interest rate environment. The weighted-average yield (TE) on investments decreased to 5.43% for the third quarter of 2002, compared to 6.63% for the same period in 2001 as a result of the decreasing interest rate environment

Provision for Credit Losses

     The Company maintains an allowance for inherent credit losses that is increased by a provision for credit losses charged against operating results. The Company did not make a provision for credit losses during the first nine months of 2002 and the Company believes the allowance is appropriate. No assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect the Company's service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions or credit losses in the future. See "Risk Management - Credit Risk" herein. There was no provision for credit losses made in the first nine months of 2002. A provision for credit losses of $1.8 million was made in the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in the provision for credit losses was primarily the result of a systemic methodology that the Company employs to determine the appropriate allowance for the probable inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolio. The nature of this process requires considerable judgment. See "Risk Management - Credit Risk" herein.

Other Operating Income

     Other operating income has become an important source of revenues for the Company. Other operating income for the Company includes income derived from special services offered by the Bank, such as wealth management and trust services, merchant card, investment services, international banking, and other business services. Also included in other operating income are service charges and fees, primarily from deposit accounts; gains (net of losses) from the sale of investment securities, other real estate owned, and fixed assets; the gross revenue from Golden West Enterprises, Inc., Community Trust Deed Services and CVB Ventures, Inc., and other revenues not included as interest on earning assets.

      Other operating income totaled $22.6 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represents an increase of $5.9 million, or 35.64%, from other operating income of $16.7 million for the same period in 2001. As noted below, the gain on the sale of securities totaled $4.9 million during the first nine months of 2002. Other operating income as a percent of net revenues (net interest income before loan loss provision plus other operating income) was 21.33% for the first nine months of 2002, as compared to 17.97% for the same period in 2001. Excluding gains and losses on securities, other operating income as a percent of net revenues was 17.49% for the first nine months of 2002, as compared to 17.78% for the same period in 2001.

     For the third quarter of 2002, other operating income totaled $7.8 million. This represents an increase of $2.6 million, or 49.72% from other operating income of $5.2 million for the same period last year. Excluding gains and losses on securities, other operating income as a percent of net revenues was 16.95% for the third quarter of 2002, as compared to 16.11% for the same period in 2001.

     Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $10.3 million in the first nine months of 2002. This represented an increase of $932,000, or 9.91% over service charges on deposit accounts of $9.4 million for the same period in 2001. Service charges for demand deposits (checking) accounts for business customers are generally charged based on an analysis of their activity and include an earning allowance based on their average balances. Contributing to the increase in service charges on deposit accounts in the first nine months of 2002 was the lower interest rate environment that resulted in a lower account earnings allowance, which offsets service charges and the implementation of a revised service charge schedule. Service charges on deposit accounts represented 45.68% (58.44%, excluding the gain on sale of securities) of other operating income in the first nine months of 2002, as compared to 56.38% in the same period in 2001.

     For the third quarter of 2002 service charges on deposit accounts totaled $3.6 million. This represents an increase of $492,000, or 15.93% from service charges on deposit accounts of $3.1 million for the same period last year. Service charges on deposit accounts represented 45.66% of other operating income in the third quarter of 2002, as compared to 58.97% in the same period in 2001.

     The Wealth Management Division provides a variety of services, which include wealth management services (both full management services and custodial services), estate planning, retirement planning, private and corporate trustee services, and probate services. Many of the fees generated by the Wealth Management Division are based on the value of assets managed. Assets values for the most part have declined with the decline in stock market values. Despite the decline in stock market values in 2002 the Wealth Management Division generated fees of $2.9 million in the first nine months of 2002. Fees generated by the Wealth Management Division in the first nine months of 2002 decreased $20,000, or 0.69% over fees generated by the Wealth Management Division of $2.9 million in the same period in 2001. Fees generated by the Wealth Management Division represented 12.78% (16.35%, excluding the gain on sale of securities) of other operating income in the first nine months of 2002, as compared to 17.45% for the same period in 2001.

     For the third quarter of 2002 fees generated by the Wealth Management Division totaled $921,000. This represents an increase of $16,000, or 1.77% from wealth management income of $905,000 for the same period last year. Fees generated by the Wealth Management Division represented 11.75% of other operating income in the third quarter of 2002, as compared to 17.28% in the same period in 2001.

     Investment Services, which provides mutual funds, certificates of deposit, and other non-insured investment products, generated fees totaling $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2002. This represented an increase of $25,000, or 2.39%, over fees generated of $1.1 million for the same period in 2001. Fees generated by Investment Services represented 4.73% (6.06%, excluding the gain on sale of securities) of other operating income in the first nine months of 2002, as compared to 6.27% for the same period in 2001.

     For the third quarter of 2002 fees generated by Investment Services totaled $355,000. This represents a decrease of $16,000, or 4.31%, from investment services income of $371,000 for the same period last year. Fees generated by the investment services represented 4.53% of other operating income in the third quarter of 2002, as compared to 7.08% in the same period in 2001. As interest rates have fallen, Investment Services customers incentive to use their services have decreased which is the primary reason for the decline in fees generated in the third quarter.

     Bankcard, which provides merchant bankcard services (credit card processing, merchant terminals, and customer support), generated fees totaling $885,000 in the first nine months of 2002. This represented an increase of $117,000, or 15.23%, over fees generated of $768,000 for the same period in 2001. Fees generated by Bankcard represented 3.91% (5.00%, excluding the gain on sale of securities) of other operating income in the first nine months of 2002, as compared to 4.60% for the same period in 2001. The increase in bankcard fees can primarily be attributed to an increase in the number of customers using merchant bankcard services.

     For the third quarter of 2002 fees generated by Bankcard totaled $302,000. This represents an increase of $24,000, or 8.63% from bankcard income of $278,000 for the same period last year. Fees generated by the Bankcard represented 3.85% of other operating income in the second quarter of 2002, as compared to 5.31% in the same period in 2001.

     Other fees and income, which includes wire fees, other business services, international banking fees, check sales, ATM fees, miscellaneous income, etc, was $2.5 million in the first nine months of 2002. This represented an increase of $138,000, or 5.84%, over other fees and income generated of $2.4 million for the same period in 2001. Total revenue from Community Trust Deed Services was approximately $87,000 in the first nine months of 2002 and $122,000 for the same period in 2001. CVB Ventures, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, had revenues of $41,000 in the first nine months of 2002 and $13,000 for the same period in 2001. Other fees and income represented 11.06% (14.15%, excluding the gain on sale of securities) of other operating income in the first nine months of 2002, as compared to 14.18% for the same period in 2001.

     For the third quarter of 2002, other fees and income totaled $838,000. This represents an increase of $389,000, or 86.64%, from other fees and income of $449,000 for the same period last year. Other fees and income represented 10.69% of other operating income in the third quarter of 2002, as compared to 8.57% in the same period in 2001.

     The sale of securities generated income totaling $4.9 million in the first nine months of 2002, and $60,000 for the same period in 2001. A profit or loss on the sale of securities is usually an outcome of the execution of an investment portfolio strategy, rather than the purpose of a sale. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company continued to execute a strategy to reposition the portfolio for an increasing rate environment and to minimize the Company's exposure to interest rate and market risks.

     For the third quarter of 2002, the sale of securities generated income totaling $1.8 million. For the third quarter of 2001, the sale of securities generated income totaling $146,000.

Other Operating Expenses

     Other operating expenses for the Company include expenses for salaries and benefits, occupancy, equipment, stationary and supplies, professional services, promotion, data processing, deposit insurance, and other expenses. Other operating expenses totaled $48.7 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represents an increase of $4.2 million, or 9.49%, from other operating expenses of $44.5 million for the same period in 2001. For the third quarter of 2002 other operating expenses totaling $17.2 million. This represents an increase of $2.4 million, or 16.25%, from other operating expenses of $14.8 million for the same period last year. The acquisition of Western Security Bank and Golden West Enterprises contributed to the increase in other operating expenses.

     For the most part, other operating expenses reflect the direct expenses and related administrative expenses associated with staffing, maintaining, promoting, and operating branch facilities. Management's ability to control other operating expenses in relation to asset growth can be measured in terms of other operating expenses as a percentage of average assets. Operating expenses measured as a percentage of average assets decreased to 2.42% for the first nine months of 2002, compared to a ratio of 2.63% for the same period in 2001. For the third quarter of 2002, other operating expenses as a percentage of average assets decreased to 2.54%, as compared to 2.59% for the same period last year. The decrease in the ratio was positively effected by the gain on the sale of securities. The decrease in the ratio indicates that management is controlling greater levels of assets with proportionately smaller operating expenses, an indication of operating efficiency.

      Management's ability to control other operating expenses in relation to the level of net revenue (net interest income plus other operating income) is measured by the efficiency ratio and indicates the percentage of net revenue that is used to cover expenses. For the first nine months of 2002, the efficiency ratio was 45.92%, compared to a ratio of 47.92% for the same period in 2001. The decrease in the ratio indicates that a proportionately smaller amount of net revenue was being allocated to operating expenses, an additional indication of operating efficiency. For the third quarter of 2002 the efficiency ratio decreased to 46.21% as compared to 46.62% for the same period last year

     Salaries and related expenses comprise the greatest portion of other operating expenses. Salaries and related expenses totaled $26.8 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represented an increase of $2.7 million, or 10.86%, over salaries and related expenses of $24.1 million for the same period in 2001. The increases for 2002 primarily resulted from increased staffing levels and annual salary adjustments. At September 30, 2002, the Company employed 599 full time equivalent employees, compared to 533 full time equivalent employees at September 30, 2001. The increases in 2002 resulted from increased staffing levels associated with the acquisition of Western Security Bank and Golden West Enterprises and internal growth. Salaries and related expenses as a percent of average assets decreased to 1.33% for the first nine months of 2002, compared to 1.43% for the same period in 2001. For the third quarter of 2002, salaries and related expenses totaled $9.6 million. This represents an increase of $1.3 million, or 15.62% from salaries and related expenses of $8.3 million for the same period last year. The increases for the third quarter of 2002 primarily resulted from increased staffing levels and annual salary adjustments. Salaries and related expenses as a percent of average assets decreased to 1.42% for the third quarter of 2002, compared to 1.46% for the same period in 2001.

     Occupancy and equipment expenses represent the cost of operating and maintaining branch and administrative facilities, including the purchase and maintenance of furniture, fixtures, office and equipment and data processing equipment. Occupancy expense totaled $4.7 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represented an increase of $450,000, or 10.51%, over occupancy expense of $4.3 million for the same period in 2001. For the third quarter of 2002, occupancy expense totaled $1.6 million. This represents an increase of $101,000, or 6.73%, from occupancy expense of $1.5 million for the same period last year. The increase in occupancy expense primarily reflects normal price increases plus the on going remodeling and upkeep of the Company's facilities. Equipment expense totaled $4.4 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represented an increase of $531,000, or 13.62%, over the $3.9 million expense for the same period in 2001. For the third quarter of 2002 equipment expense totaled $1.5 million. This represents an increase of $207,000, or 15.55% from equipment expense of $1.3 million for the same period last year. The increase in equipment expense primarily reflects the upgrade to image processing equipment and the on going upgrade of other computer equipment.

     Stationary and supplies expense totaled $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represented an increase of $302,000, or 11.27%, over the expense of $2.7 million for the same period in 2001. For the third quarter of 2002 stationary and supplies expense totaled $1.0 million. This represents an increase of $108,000, or 12.20%, from stationary and supplies expense of $885,000 for the same period last year.

     Professional services totaled $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represented a decrease of $13,000 or 0.43%, over an expense of $3.0 million for the same period in 2001.

     Promotion expense totaled $2.5 million for the first nine months of 2002. This represented an increase of $377,000, or 17.40%, from an expense of $2.2 million for the same period in 2001. For the third quarter of 2002 promotional expense totaled $721,000. This represents an increase of $52,000, or 7.77%, from promotional expense of $669,000 for the same period last year. The increase in promotional expenses was primarily associated with the opening of the Bank's business financial center in Bakersfield and our entrance into California's central valley.

     Data processing expense totaled $974,000 for the first nine months of 2002. This represented a decrease of $12,000, or 1.22%, from an expense of $986,000 for the same period in 2001. For the third quarter of 2002 data processing expense totaled $363,000. This represents an increase of $77,000, or 26.92%, from data processing expense of $286,000 for the same period last year.

     The amortization expense of goodwill and intangibles totaled $347,000 for the first nine months of 2002 and $705,000 for the same period in 2001. The decrease in 2002 is a result of the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". This standard establishes new accounting standards for goodwill and other intangible assets and continues to require the recognition of goodwill and certain intangible assets as an asset but does not permit amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets as previously required by APB Opinion No. 17. For the third quarter of 2002, the amortization expense of intangibles totaled $281,000. This represents an increase of $66,000, or 30.70%, from amortization expense of goodwill and intangibles of $215,000 for the same period last year.

For the third quarter of 2002, other operating expense totaled $1.1 million. This represents an increase of $244,000, or 27.48%, from other operating expense of $888,000 for the same period last year.

Income Taxes

     The Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2002 was 35.24%. This compares to effective tax rates of 37.24% for the same period in 2001. These rates are below the nominal combined Federal and State tax rates as a result of tax preferenced income from certain investments for each period. The majority of tax preferenced income is derived from municipal securities.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Company reported total assets of $2.85 billion at September 30, 2002. This represented an increase of $334.2 million, or 13.29%, over total assets of $2.51 billion at December 31, 2001.

     Commercial and industrial loans are loans and leases to commercial entities to finance capital purchases or improvements, or to provide cash flow for operations. Real estate loans are loans secured by conforming first trust deeds on real property, including property under construction, commercial property and single family and multifamily residences. Consumer loans include installment loans to consumers as well as home equity loans and other loans secured by junior liens on real property. Municipal lease finance receivables are leases to municipalities. Agribusiness loans are loans to finance the operating needs of wholesale dairy farm operations, cattle feeders, livestock raisers, and farmers.

Non-performing Assets

     As set forth in Table 5, non-performing assets, which include non-performing loans plus other real estate owned (foreclosed property) were $818,000 at September 30, 2002, a decrease of $886,000, or 51.20% from $1.7 million at September 30, 2001. Non-performing loans, which include non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing, and restructured loans were $818,000 at September 30, 2002. This represented a decrease of $760,000, or 48.16%, from the level of non-performing loans at December 31, 2001. In addition, the Company had loans classified as impaired at September 30, 2002 totaling $5.2 million. This represents a decrease of $11.0 million, or 67.90%, compared to loans classified as impaired of $16.2 million at September 30, 2001, and represents a decrease of $9.5 million, or 64.63% compared to loans classified as impaired of $14.7 million at December 31, 2001.

     Although management believes that non-performing assets are generally secured and that potential losses are provided for in the allowance for credit losses, there can be no assurance that future deterioration in economic conditions or collateral values would not result in future credit losses.

     Except for non-performing loans as set forth in Table 5 and loans disclosed as impaired, (see "Risk Management - Credit Risk" herein) the Bank's management is not aware of any loans as of September 30, 2002 for which known credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their present loan repayment terms, or any known events that would result in the loan being designated as non-performing at some future date. The Bank's management cannot, however, predict the extent to which the deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values, increase in general rates of interest, change in the financial conditions or business of a borrower may adversely affect a borrower's ability to pay.

     At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company held no properties as other real estate owned.

Goodwill and Intangible assets

     Goodwill is recognized initially as an asset and initially measured as the excess of the cost of the acquired enterprise over the sum of the amounts (fair value) assigned to identifiable assets acquired over liabilities assumed. Intangible assets are assets, other than financial instruments, that lack physical substance (i.e., copyright, trademark, license agreement, customer list, customer relationship, core deposit relationship).

     In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This standard establishes new accounting standards for goodwill and other intangible assets and continues to require the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets as an asset but does not permit amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives. Intangible assets with finite lives continue to be amortized over their life. The standard also establishes a new method of testing goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment. It requires goodwill and other intangible assets to be separately tested for impairment at a reporting unit level. The amount of goodwill determined to be impaired, if any, would be expensed to current operations.

     In accordance with SFAS No. 142 the Company has determined the fair value of all reporting units assigned goodwill or intangible assets for the purpose of performing step one of the impairment test. The results of the test indicate that there is no impairment and as such step two was not conducted. In the assessment of fair value the present value technique was used. The assessment takes into account all assets, liabilities, and financial derivatives and then discounts their future cash flows (principal and interest) back to current values taking into account future maturities and/or scheduled future repricings in the analysis. In some cases third party information sources were relied on to complete the analysis. This includes the establishment of discount factors that represent current market indications for various assets and liabilities.

Deposits

     The primary source of funds to support earning assets (loans and investments) is the generation of deposits from the Company's customer base. The ability to grow the customer base and subsequently deposits is a significant element in the performance of the Company.

     At September 30, 2002, total deposits were $2.20 billion. This represented an increase of $320.1 million, or 17.06%, from total deposits of $1.88 billion at December 31, 2001. Average total deposits for the first nine months of 2002 were $2.05 billion. This represented an increase of $410.8 million, or 25.06%, from average total deposits of $1.64 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The comparison of average balances for the first nine months of 2002 is more representative of the Company's growth in deposits as it excludes the historical seasonal peak in deposits at year-end. The WSB acquisition contributed $138.6 million in total deposits. The composition of deposits is as follows:

                                         September 30, 2002                       December 31, 2001

     The amount of non-interest-bearing demand deposits in relation to total deposits is an integral element in achieving a low cost of funds. Demand deposits totaled $882.8 million at September 30, 2002, representing an increase of $116.5 million, or 15.20%, from total demand deposits of $766.3 million at December 31, 2001. The WSB acquisition contributed $56.8 million in demand deposits. Average demand deposits for the first nine months of 2002 were $802.6 million. This represented an increase of $165.5 million, or 25.97%, from average demand deposits of $637.1 million for the first nine months of 2001. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits represented 40.18% of total deposits as of September 30, 2002 and 40.83% of total deposits as of December 31, 2001.

     Savings deposits, which include savings, interest-bearing demand, and money market accounts, totaled $805.7 million at September 30, 2002, representing an increase of $131.4 million, or 19.49%, from savings deposits of $674.3 million at December 31, 2001. The WSB acquisition contributed $24.3 million in savings deposits.

     Time deposits totaled $508.6 million at September 30, 2002 of which $50 million were brokered. This represented an increase of $72.3 million, or 16.56%, over total time deposits of $436.4 million at December 31, 2001. The WSB acquisition contributed $57.5 million in time deposits most of which were wholesale in nature.

Borrowed Funds

     To achieve the desired growth in earning assets and to fully utilize its capital the Company funds that growth through generating sources of funds. The first source of funds the Company pursues is non-interest-bearing deposits (the lowest cost of funds to the Company), next the Company pursues the growth in interest-bearing deposits and finally the Company supplements the growth in deposits with borrowed funds. Average borrowed funds, as a percent of average total funding (total deposits plus demand notes plus borrowed funds) was 16.11% for the period ending September 30, 2002, as compared to 19.22% for the period ending December 31, 2001.

     During 2002 and 2001, the Bank entered into short-term borrowing agreements (borrowings with maturities of less than one year) with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other institutions. The Bank had outstanding balances of $52.7 million and $50.0 million under these agreements at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The weighted average annual interest rate was 5.05% and 5.20% at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. FHLB held certain investment securities of the Bank as collateral for those borrowings.

     During 2002 and 2001, the Bank entered into long-term borrowing agreements (borrowings with maturities of one year or longer) with the FHLB. The Bank had outstanding balances of $292.0 million and $325.0 million under these agreements at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The weighted average annual interest rate was 5.07% and 5.09% at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. FHLB held certain investment securities of the Bank as collateral for those borrowings.

     The Bank entered into an agreement, known as the Treasury Tax & Loan ("TT&L") Note Option Program with the Federal Reserve Bank and the U.S. Department of Treasury in which federal tax deposits made by depositors can be held by the bank until called (withdrawn) by the U.S. Department of Treasury. On September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 the amounts held by the bank in the TT&L Note Option Program were $10.0 million and $10.0 million, collateralized by securities, respectively. The amounts are payable on demand. The Bank borrows at a variable rate of 25 basis points less than the average weekly federal funds rate.

     At September 30, 2002, borrowed funds totaled $354.6 million. This represented a decrease of $30.4 million, or 7.90%, from total borrowed funds of $385.0 million at December 31, 2001.


Capital Resources

     Historically, the Company's primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, the Company conducts an ongoing assessment of projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and the level of risk.

      The Company's equity capital was $255.6 million at September 30, 2002. This represented an increase of $34.8 million, or 15.77% over equity capital of $220.7 million at December 31, 2001. The Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Management's Discussion and Analysis and Note 15 of the accompanying financial statements) describes the regulatory capital requirements of the Company and the Bank.

     The Bank and the Company are required to meet risk-based capital standards set by their respective regulatory authorities. The risk-based capital standards require the achievement of a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital). In addition, the regulatory authorities require the highest rated institutions to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. At September 30, 2002, the Bank and the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio required to be considered "Well Capitalized".

Risk Management

      The Company's management has adopted a Risk Management Plan to ensure the proper control and management of all risk factors inherent in the operation of the Company and the Bank. Specifically, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, transaction risk, compliance risk, strategic risk, reputation risk, price risk and foreign exchange risk, can all affect the market risk exposure of the Company. These specific risk factors are not mutually exclusive. It is recognized that any product or service offered by the Company may expose the Bank to one or more of these risks.

Credit Risk

     Credit risk is defined as the risk to earnings or capital arising from an obligor's failure to meet the terms of any contract or otherwise fail to perform as agreed. Credit risk is found in all activities where success depends on counter party, issuer, or borrower performance. Credit risk arises through the extension of loans and leases, certain securities, and letters of credit.

     Credit risk in the investment portfolio and correspondent bank accounts is addressed through defined limits in the Bank's policy statements. In addition, certain securities carry insurance to enhance credit quality of the bond. Limitations on industry concentration, aggregate customer borrowings, geographic boundaries and standards on loan quality also are designed to reduce loan credit risk. Senior Management, Directors' Committees, and the Board of Directors are provided with information to appropriately identify, measure, control and monitor the credit risk of the Bank.

     Implicit in lending activities is the risk that losses will occur and that the amount of such losses will vary over time. Consequently, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses by charging a provision for credit losses to earnings. Loans determined to be losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses. The Company's allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered by the Bank's management to be adequate to provide for estimated probable losses inherent in the existing portfolio, and unused commitments to provide financing, including commitments under commercial and standby letters of credit.

     The allowance for credit losses is based upon estimates of probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. The nature of the process by which the Company determines the appropriate allowance for credit losses requires the exercise of considerable judgment. The amount actually observed in respect of these losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts. The Company employs a systematic methodology that is intended to reduce the differences between estimated and actual losses.

     The Company's methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance is conducted on a regular basis and considers all loans. The systematic methodology consists of two major elements.

     The first major element includes a detailed analysis of the loan portfolio in two phases. The first phase is conducted in accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for the Impairment of a Loan", as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." Individual loans are reviewed to identify loans for impairment. A loan is impaired when principal and interest are deemed uncollectable in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan. Impairment is measured as either the expected future cash flows discounted at each loan's effective interest rate, the fair value of the loan's collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or an observable market price of the loan (if one exists). Upon measuring the impairment, the Company will insure an appropriate level of allowance is present or established.

     Central to the first phase and the Company's credit risk management is its loan risk rating system. The originating credit officer assigns borrowers an initial risk rating, which is based primarily on a thorough analysis of each borrower's financial capacity in conjunction with industry and economic trends. Approvals are made based upon the amount of inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are reviewed for appropriateness by senior line and credit administration personnel. Credits are monitored by line and credit administration personnel for deterioration in a borrower's financial condition, which would impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Risk ratings are adjusted as necessary.

     Based on the risk rating system, specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a credit that management believes indicates the probability that a loss has been incurred. Management performs a detailed analysis of these loans, including, but not limited to, cash flows, appraisals of the collateral, conditions of the marketplace for liquidating the collateral and assessment of the guarantors. Management then determines the inherent loss potential and allocates a portion of the allowance for losses as a specific allowance for each of these credits.

     The second phase is conducted by evaluating or segmenting the remainder of the loan portfolio into groups or pools of loans with similar characteristics in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." In this second phase, groups or pools of homogeneous loans are reviewed to determine a portfolio formula allowance. In the case of the portfolio formula allowance, homogeneous portfolios, such as small business loans, consumer loans, agricultural loans, and real estate loans, are aggregated or pooled in determining the appropriate allowance. The risk assessment process in this case emphasizes trends in the different portfolios for delinquency, loss, and other-behavioral characteristics of the subject portfolios.

     The second major element in the Company's methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of management's considerations of all known relevant internal and external factors that may affect a loan's collectibility. This includes management's estimates of the amounts necessary for concentrations, economic uncertainties, the volatility of the market value of collateral, and other relevant factors. The relationship of the two major elements of the allowance to the total allowance may fluctuate from period to period.

     In the second major element of the analysis which considers all known relevant internal and external factors that may affect a loan's collectibility is based upon management's evaluation of various conditions, the effects of which are not directly measured in the determination of the formula and specific allowances. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with the second element of the analysis of the allowance include, but are not limitted to the following conditions that existed as of the balance sheet date:

  • then-existing general economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Company,
  • then-existing economic and business conditions of areas outside the lending areas, such as other sections of the United States, Asia and Latin America,
  • credit quality trends (including trends in non-performing loans expected to result from existing conditions),
  • collateral values,
  • loan volumes and concentrations,
  • seasoning of the loan portfolio,
  • specific industry conditions within portfolio segments,
  • recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio,
  • duration of the current business cycle,
  • bank regulatory examination results and
  • findings of the Company's internal credit examiners.

     Management reviews these conditions in discussion with the Company's senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management's estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management's evaluation of the inherent loss related to such condition is reflected in the second major element allowance. Although management has allocated a portion of the allowance to specific loan categories, the adequacy of the allowance must be considered in its entirety.

     The Company maintains an allowance for inherent credit losses that is increased by a provision for credit losses charged against operating results. The allowance for credit losses is also increased by recoveries on loans previously charged off and reduced by actual loan losses charged to the allowance. There was no provision for credit losses during the first nine months of 2002, as compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2001. The determination of the provision for credit losses is based on an analysis of the loan and lease finance receivables portfolio using a systematic methodology and reflects an amount that, in management's judgment, is adequate to provide for an allowance for credit losses to provide for probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio, after giving consideration to the character of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past credit loss experience, and such other factors as deserve current recognition in estimating inherent credit losses. In management's judgment the allowance for credit losses at its current level is adequate, therefore, no additional provision was provided.

     At September 30, 2002, the Company reported an allowance for credit losses of $22.6 million. This represented an increase of $2.2 million, or 10.63%, from the allowance for credit losses of $20.5 million at December 31, 2001. The acquisition of WSB contributed $2.3 million to the allowance

     At September 30, 2002, the Company had loans classified as impaired totaling $5.2 million. This represents a decrease of $9.5 million, or 64.63%, compared to loans classified impaired of $14.7 million at December 31, 2001. Impaired loans measured, as a percent of gross loans equaled 0.39% and 1.24%, at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 respectively.

     Non-performing loans, which include non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing, and restructured loans, totaled $818,000 at September 30, 2002. This represented a decrease of $760,000, or 48.16%, from non-performing loans of $1.6 million at December 31, 2001. Non-performing loans measured, as a percent of gross loans, equaled 0.06% and 0.13%, at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Nonaccrual loans decreased $1.4 million, or 87.80%, to $192,000 at September 30, 2002, from $1.6 million at December 31, 2001.

     While management believes that the allowance at September 30, 2002, was adequate to absorb losses from any known or inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect the Company's service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions or credit losses in the future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

     In the normal course of its business activities, the Company is exposed to market risks, including price and liquidity risk. Market risk is the potential of loss from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates (interest rate risk). Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company may not be able to satisfy current or future commitments or that the Company may be more reliant on alternative funding sources such as long-term debt. Financial products that expose the Company to market risk includes securities, loans, deposits, debt, and derivative financial instruments.


Interest Rate Risk

      During periods of changing interest rates, the ability to reprice interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can influence net interest income, the net interest margin, and consequently, the Company's earnings. Interest rate risk is managed by attempting to control the spread between rates earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities within the constraints imposed by market competition in the Bank's service area. Short-term repricing risk is minimized by controlling the level of floating rate loans and maintaining a downward sloping ladder of bond payments and maturities. Basis risk is managed by the timing and magnitude of changes to interest-bearing deposit rates. Yield curve risk is reduced by keeping the duration of the loan and bond portfolios relatively short. Options risk in the bond portfolio is monitored monthly and actions are recommended when appropriate.

     The Bank's management monitors the interest rate "sensitivity" risk to earnings from potential changes in interest rates using various methods, including a maturity/repricing gap analysis. This analysis measures, at specific time intervals, the differences between earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for which repricing opportunities will occur. A positive difference, or gap, indicates that earning assets will reprice faster than interest-bearing liabilities. This will generally produce a greater net interest margin during periods of rising interest rates, and a lower net interest margin during periods of declining interest rates. Conversely, a negative gap will generally produce a lower net interest margin during periods of rising interest rates and a greater net interest margin during periods of decreasing interest rates.

     The interest rates paid on deposit accounts do not always move in unison with the rates charged on loans. In addition, the magnitude of changes in the rates charged on loans is not always proportionate to the magnitude of changes in the rate paid for deposits. Consequently, changes in interest rates do not necessarily result in an increase or decrease in the net interest margin solely as a result of the differences between repricing opportunities of earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities. The fact that the Bank reported a positive gap at September 30, 2002 does not necessarily indicate that, if interest rates decreased, net interest income would increase, or if interest rates increased, net interest income would decrease.

     Approximately $734.7 million, or 59.27%, of the total investment portfolio at September 30, 2002 consisted of securities backed by mortgages. The final maturity of these securities can be affected by the speed at which the underlying mortgages repay. Mortgages tend to repay faster as interest rates fall, and slower as interest rates rise. As a result, the Bank may be subject to a "prepayment risk" resulting from greater funds available for reinvestment at a time when available yields are lower. Conversely, the Bank may be subject to "extension risk" resulting from lesser amounts available for reinvestment at a time when available yields are higher. Prepayment risk includes the risk associated with the payment of an investment's principal faster than originally intended. Extension risk is the risk associated with the payment of an investment's principal over a longer time period than originally anticipated. In addition, there can be greater risk of price volatility for mortgage-backed securities as a result of anticipated prepayment or extension risk.

     The Company's management also utilizes the results of a dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. The sensitivity of the Company's net interest income is measured over a rolling two-year horizon.

     The simulation model estimates the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income from all interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on all interest-bearing liabilities reflected on the Company's balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared to policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon assuming no balance sheet growth, given both a 200 basis point upward and downward shift in interest rates. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed

     The following depicts the Company's net interest income sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 2002:

  Estimated Net
Simulated Interest Income
Rate Changes
Sensitivity
+200 basis points (0.33%)
-200 basis points (2.19%)

     The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent a Company forecast and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to the Company's net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cashflows. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

Liquidity Risk

     Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital resulting from the Bank's inability to meet its obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses. It includes the ability to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources and to recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect the Bank's ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimum loss of value. Factors considered in liquidity risk management are stability of the deposit base; marketability, maturity, and pledging of investments; and the demand for credit.

     In general, liquidity risk is managed daily by controlling the level of fed funds and the use of funds provided by the cash flow from the investment portfolio. To meet unexpected demands, lines of credit are maintained with correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank. The sale of bonds maturing in the near future can also serve as a contingent source of funds. Increases in deposit rates are considered a last resort as a means of raising funds to increase liquidity.

     For the Bank, sources of funds normally include principal payments on loans and investments, other borrowed funds, and growth in deposits. Uses of funds include withdrawal of deposits, interest paid on deposits, increased loan balances, purchases, and other operating expenses.

     Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $27.0 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $56.9 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily the result of the income taxes paid.

     Net cash used in investing activities totaled $77.8 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $39.1 million used by investing activities for the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the purchase of investment securities and an increase in loans.

     Funds provided by financing activities totaled $130.8 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared to funds used in financing activities of $12.7 million for the same period last year. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of an increase in deposits during the period.

     At September 30, 2002, cash and cash equivalents totaled $223.7 million. This represented an increase of $78.2 million, or 53.74%, from a total of $145.5 million at September 30, 2001. The acquisition of WSB contributed $41.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, while the acquisition of Golden West Enterprises provided $268,000 in cash and cash equivalents. Without the acquisitions, cash and cash equivalents would have increased $37.2 million.

     Since the primary sources and uses of funds for the Bank are loans and deposits, the relationship between gross loans and total deposits provides a useful measure of the Bank's liquidity. Typically, the closer the ratio of loans to deposits is to 100%, the more reliant the Bank is on its loan portfolio to provide for short-term liquidity needs. Since repayment of loans tends to be less predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources, the higher the loans to deposit ratio the less liquid are the Bank's assets. For the first nine months of 2002, the Bank's loan to deposit ratio averaged 60.23%, compared to an average ratio of 64.45% for the same period in 2001.

     CVB is a company separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its own liquidity. Substantially all of CVB's revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the Bank. The remaining cashflow is from rents paid by third parties on office space in the Company's corporate headquarters. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to CVB. At September 30, 2002, approximately $76.7 million of the Bank's equity was unrestricted and available to be paid as dividends to CVB. Management of CVB believes that such restrictions will not have an impact on the ability of CVB to meet its ongoing cash obligations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information is recorded and reported in all filings of financial reports. Such information is reported to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer to allow timely and accurate disclosure based on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-14(c). In designing these controls and procedures, management recognizes that they can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management also evaluated the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

      Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of Company's controls and disclosure procedures under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior management of the Company. Based on the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

     There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation.


                                                      PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1   -        Legal Proceedings

                  In May 1998, the Bank received an unfavorable jury judgment as a result of the lawsuit filed against them by MRI
                  Grand Terrace, Inc. ("MRI").  The award to MRI and its joint venture partner, Tri-National Development Corp.  was
                  approximately $4,900,000, which included approximately $2,100,000 in compensatory damages, $1,600,000 in punitive
                  damages, and $1,200,000 in prejudgment interest.  The lawsuit alleges that the Bank mislead MRI in its purchase of a
                  commercial real estate property from the Bank.  The Bank subsequently made a motion to the trial judge to vacate the
                  jury verdict, and on August 14, 1998, the motion was denied.  The Bank filed an appeal on August 19, 1998.  The
                  Court of Appeals vacated the judgment and remanded the case for retrial.  In addition, the Court of Appeals awarded
                  the Bank the costs of appeal.  MRI petitioned the Supreme Court of the State of California, which refused to hear
                  the case.

                  A retrial has been scheduled for February 10, 2003.  The Bank's motion for Summary Judgment was denied.  Plaintiffs'
                  position on damages is unspecified but they claim they may be asking for compensatory damages of $40,000,000,
                  pre-judgment interest, punitive damages, and costs. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of this case will
                  not have a material adverse affect on the Company's future consolidated financial position or results of operations.
