6 CIVIC BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Civic BanCorp and subsidiary (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the complete fiscal year. 2. NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. It does not require a specific format for the statements, but requires the Company to display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the period in the financial statements. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This statement establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual reports and in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits." SFAS No. 132 changes disclosure only on applicable defined benefit pension or post retirement plans. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. At this time, the Company does not have a defined benefit pension or post retirement plan. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company expects to adopt this statement January 1, 2000. The Company will begin evaluating the impact of its adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company reported net income of $4,225,000, or $.87 earnings per diluted share compared to a net income of $3,425,000 or $.70 earnings per diluted share for the same period of the prior year. The annualized return on average assets was 1.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to 1.53% for the same period of the prior year. The annualized return on average shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was 14.06% and 12.94%, respectively. The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide additional information on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal 7 year ended December 31, 1997 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed in fiscal 1998. Certain statements in this discussion constitute "forward looking statements" and could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements. Factors which that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, interest rate risks, asset quality, general economic conditions, legislative or regulatory changes, increases in personnel or commercial customers' bankruptcies, and "Year 2000" information systems compliance being more difficult or more expensive to complete than expected. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward looking statements. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $15.0 million, increasing $1.3 million or 9.3% from net interest income of $13.7 million for the same period in 1997. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in the volume of average earning assets the benefits of which were partially offset by an increase in the volume of interest bearing liabilities. Total interest income for the first nine months of 1998 equaled $21.3 million, an increase of $2.2 million from interest income earned for the same period in 1997. The increase in total interest income is primarily attributed to the increase in volume of earning assets. Total average earning assets increased $42.1 million or 15.1% to $321.0 million for the first nine months of 1998 compared to $278.9 million for the same period in 1997. Total interest expense for the first nine months of 1998 was $6.3 million an increase of $.9 million or 17.4% from the $5.4 million for the first nine months of 1997. The increase in interest expense was due to increases in both the average volume and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. Average interest bearing liabilities were $215.7 million for the first nine months of 1998 as compared to $187.4 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $28.4 million or 15.1%. The average rate paid on these liabilities increased 7 basis points to 3.90% for the first nine months of 1998 from 3.83% for the same period of 1997. The increase in the average rate is attributed to a shift in the mix of interest bearing liabilities to savings and time deposits which have higher interest rates. Savings and time deposits as a percentage of total interest bearing liabilities increased to 48.4% from 41.9% for the first nine months of 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net Interest Margin Net interest margin declined 36 basis points to 6.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 6.72% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the margin is attributed to the decline in the average rate earned on earning assets of 31 basis points and the increase in the average rate paid on interest bearing deposits of 9 basis points. The decline in the yield on earning assets was due to a shift in the mix of earning assets to sales of Federal funds. Federal funds as a percentage of total earning assets increased to 12.5% for the first nine months of 1998 compared to 2.0% for the same period of the prior year. The increase in the average rate paid on interest bearing deposits reflects a shift in the mix of interest bearing liabilities toward savings and time deposits which have higher interest rates. 8 The following table presents an analysis of the components of net interest income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

Interest on municipal securities was $498,000 and $438,000 for September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. (2) Non- performing loans have been included in the average loan balances. Interest income is included on non-accrual loans only to the extent cash payments have been received. (3) Interest income includes loan fees on commercial loans of $381,000 and $330,000 for September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively; fees on real estate loans of $283,000 and $298,000 for September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively; and fees on installment and other loans of $22,000 and $25,000 for September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 9 The following table sets forth changes in interest income and interest expense for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the amount of change attributable to volume and rate changes for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

(1) Changes not solely attributed to rate or volume have been allocated to volume. (2) Loan fees are reflected in rate volumes. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $113,000 as compared to $75,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. See "Financial Condition-Allowance for Loan Losses" for further discussion. 10 Non-Interest Income Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $1,553,000, an increase of $864,000 from the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase reflects gains of $875,000 on the disposal of foreclosed assets and other non-performing assets. Customer service fees have increased $20,000 or $3.4% to $601,000 from $581,000 due to the increase in deposit volume. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense totaled $9.4 million and $8.9 million for the nine months period ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased $460,000 or 8.9% from the same period in 1997. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is related to increases in the management incentive accrual and in the contribution percentages of the 401K and profit sharing benefits. Full time equivalent personnel numbered 109 on September 30, 1998 compared to 108 on September 30, 1997. Occupancy expenses increased due to normal rent escalations and the addition of the Palo Alto office in June 1997. Foreclosed asset expenses have decreased as foreclosed properties have been sold. Increased data processing expenses are related to increased loan and deposit activity combined with general cost escalation. Legal expenses have decreased due to decreased legal activity to recover prior period loan charge- offs. Increases in consulting fees include a cost reduction/containment review which was completed in the third quarter and professional fees related to compliance auditing services which increased during the nine months of 1998 relative to 1997 as more auditing projects were performed. Marketing expenses include the cost of an advertising campaign to promote the bank in new markets in 1998.

Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for the nine months of 1998 increased to $2,875,000 from $2,070,000 for the same period of the prior year. These provisions represent effective tax rates of 41% and 38%, respectively. The effective rate has been increased for 1998 due to the reduced impact of tax exempt municipal securities on the larger pre-tax income. 11 FINANCIAL CONDITION Loans Total loans have decreased $13.3 million or 5.7% at September 30, 1998 from December 31, 1997 for several reasons. The Bank has elected to discontinue funding certain loans due to underwriting concerns and the risk exposure of the customer in the event of an economic downturn. Additionally, several of the Bank's notable clients were acquisition targets during the first nine months of 1998 and their borrowings were repaid after the acquisition was consummated. The real estate construction loan category has been impacted as existing construction loans were paid off as anticipated; however, advances on new projects were delayed due to an extended rainy season. Moreover, the strong regional economy has generated significant corporate liquidity among many of the Bank's customers and has reduced the demand for commercial loans. Real estate construction loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding were 4.6% at September 30, 1998 compared to 7.0% at September 30, 1997. The Bank maintains a limited portfolio of real estate construction loans as the risks associated with real estate construction lending are generally considered to be higher than risks associated with other forms of lending. However, the Bank continues to fund real estate construction commitments on a limited basis with relatively stringent underwriting criteria. Other real estate loans consist of mini-perm loans and land acquisition loans which are primarily owner-occupied and are generally granted based on the rental or lease income stream generated by the property. Other real estate loans totaled $59.4 million at September 30, 1998, a decrease of $5.5 million or 8.5% from September 30, 1997. The following table sets forth the amount of loans outstanding in each category and the percentage of total loans outstanding for each category at the dates indicated.

During the first nine months of 1998, the Bank foreclosed on three properties securing loans totaling $2 million which were classified as non-accrual at December 31, 1997. Sales on these three properties were consummated during the third quarter with gains on sales of $868,000. Additionally, non-accrual loans totaling approximately $1 million were liquidated during the first nine months of 1998 with associated loan charge-offs of $350,000. At September 30, 1998, the recorded investment in loans considered to be impaired was $494,000 which approximates the fair value of the supporting collateral of the loans and accordingly they do not have an associated allowance for loan loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $2.2 million. Impaired loans are placed on non-accrual status. However, if interest on these loans had been recognized, such income would have approximated $34,000 for the first nine months of 1998. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management of the Company considers to be adequate for losses that can be reasonably anticipated in relation to the risk of future losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by charges to operating expenses and reduced by net charge-offs. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management relies on its ongoing review of the loan portfolio to identify potential problem loans in a timely manner, ascertains whether there are probable losses which must be charged off and assesses the aggregate risk characteristics of the portfolio. Factors which influence management's judgment include the impact of forecasted economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, the evaluation of risks which vary with the type of loan, creditworthiness of the borrower and the value of the underlying collateral. Management believes the allowance for loan losses was adequate at September 30, 1998. 13 The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

Potential Problem Loans At September 30, 1998 there were no loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention that have not been disclosed in the discussion above that (i) represented or resulted from trends or uncertainties which management anticipated would have a material impact on future operating results, liquidity, capital resources or (ii) represented material credits about which management was aware of information that would cause serious doubt as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the loan repayment terms. Investment Portfolio The Company's investment portfolio is used primarily for liquidity purposes and secondarily for investment income. The portfolio is primarily composed of U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency instruments and investment grade municipal obligations. The company has increased its investment in municipal securities to benefit from higher after-tax yields available on bank-qualified municipal securities. 14 The table below summarizes the book value and estimated market values of investment securities at the dates indicated.

Deposits The Company emphasizes developing total client relationships with its customers in order to increase its core deposit base. Total deposits increased $45 million or 15.9% to $328 million as of September 30, 1998 from $283 million as of December 31, 1997. Management believes the strong regional economy has generated significant corporate liquidity among many of the Bank's customers culminating in increased deposit levels at September 30, 1998. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, average deposits totaled $299.3 million, an increase of $39.8 million or 15.3% from $259.5 million for the same period in 1997. The table below sets forth information regarding the Bank's average deposits by amount and percentage of total deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

Certificates of deposit over $100,000 are generally considered a higher cost and less stable form of funding than lower denomination deposits and may represent a greater risk of interest rate and volume volatility than small retail deposits. Time certificates of $100,000 or more at September 30, 1998 had the following schedule of maturities: 15

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Liquidity Liquidity management refers to the Bank's ability to acquire funds to meet loan demand, to fund deposit withdrawals and to service other liabilities. To augment liquidity, the Bank has informal federal funds borrowing arrangements with correspondent banks totaling $35.0 million. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and through membership has the ability to pledge qualifying collateral for short term (up to six months) and long term (up to five years) borrowing. At September 30, 1998 the Bank had no outstanding borrowings against these arrangements. Additionally, at September 30, 1998, unpledged government securities that are available to secure additional borrowing in the form of reverse repurchase agreements totaled approximately $33.0 million. At September 30, 1998 the Bank had no reverse repurchase agreements. The liquidity position of the Company increased during the nine months of 1998 from December 31, 1997 as cash and cash equivalents of $5.3 million, $14.9 million and $43.0 million were provided by operating, investing and financing activities, respectively. The liquidity position of the Company may be expressed as a ratio defined as (a) cash, Federal funds sold, other unpledged short term investments and marketable securities, including those maturing after one year, divided by (b) total assets less pledged securities. Using this definition at September 30, 1998, the Company had a liquidity ratio of 39.2% as compared to 25.6% at December 31, 1997. The increase in liquidity position reflects the increase in over-night Federal Funds sold. Federal Funds sold at September 30, 1998 were $76.9 million as compared to $13.2 million at December 31, 1997. Capital Resources Total shareholders' equity increased to $41.5 million at September 30, 1998 from $38.7 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in equity reflects retained income of $4.2 million, recognition of $700,000 in deferred tax benefits from tax carryforward items which arose prior to the date of the quasi-reorganization and an increase of $156,000, net of deferred income taxes, in the market adjustment of securities available for sale. These benefits were offset by a reduction of $2.1 million in common stock due to stock repurchases net of incentive stock option exercises. Since the fourth quarter of 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the repurchase of up to 472,500 shares of common stock from time to time, subject to appropriate regulatory and other accounting requirements. Purchases have been made on the open market with the intention to lessen the dilutive impact of stock options and to maximize shareholder value. Pursuant to this program, 140,000 shares have been purchased in the first nine months of 1998, and 100,000 and 79,100 shares were purchased in 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Company and the Bank are subject to capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors which require a minimum risk-based capital ratio of 8%. At least 4% must be in the form of "Tier 1" capital which consists of common equity, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated 16 subsidiaries. "Tier 2" capital consists of cumulative and limited-life preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and, subject to certain limitations, the allowance for loan losses. General loan loss reserves included in Tier 2 capital cannot exceed 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. At September 30, 1998 the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 15.99%. The following table presents the Company's risk-based capital and leverage ratios as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

Year 2000 The Company is working to resolve the potential impact of Year 2000 on it's computer system and the associated software applications. If the Company and it's third party software venders are unable to address this issue in a timely manner, there could substantial financial risk to the Company. Contingency plans include the conversion to alternative Y2K compliant applications, outsourcing of critical functions to third-party providers or interim manual processing. In the worst case scenario, the Company would retain sufficient additional staffing to convert to manual processing. The added expense in this scenario would be a function of the number of applications requiring such manual processing and the duration of time until a Y2K compliant application could be acquired, tested and installed. To insure this does not occur, the Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems and has developed an action plan to address the issue. The Company relies on third party software venders for substantially all of its applications, and accordingly, the focus of the Company is to monitor the progress of its primary venders toward Year 2000 compliance and to test the processing of data using Y2K compliant applications on future simulated dates. To date, certifications have been received from the Company's primary venders detailing the Year 2000 compliance of their systems. Testing and validation of Y2K compliant applications is currently underway in a separate computer environment with 17 mission critical applications testing estimated to be 75% completed and non- mission critical applications estimated to be 50% completed. Based on the progress to date, the Company anticipates it will not be required to pursue contingency plans. The Company has also investigated "environmental systems providers" which include such services as building elevators, telephone and alarm systems for year 2000 compliance and has received certifications that they will be Year 2000 compliant. However, due to the nature of many of the environmental applications, such as the utility companies, the Company will be unable to test and validate compliance. The primary cost associated with the Company's efforts to review, test and validate its computer applications for Year 2000 compliance has been and will continue to be the reallocation of internal resources. The Company has budgeted anticipated expenditures of $50,000 to $75,000 in 1998 and 1999 to insure its systems are ready for processing information in the Year 2000. The Company has expensed approximately $38,000 relating to its Year 2000 compliance efforts during the first nine months of 1998. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The Company's primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk occurs as a result of interest sensitive assets and liabilities not repricing at the same time or by the same amount and is quantified by estimating the potential gain or loss in the market value of assets and net interest income that can result from changes in interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is monitored monthly by the Risk Management Committee which includes members of the Board of Directors and Senior Management. The Company attempts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates; however, due to its size and the direct competition from major banks, the Company must offer products which are competitive in the market place, even if less than optimum with respect to interest rate exposure. The Company's balance sheet position at September 30, 1998 was asset sensitive due to the significant amount of variable rate loans and Federal funds sold. Generally, if more assets than liabilities reprice at a given time in a rising rate environment, net interest income will increase, and in a declining rate environment, net interest income would deteriorate. Management believes there has been no significant change in the Bank's market risk exposure disclosed in the Company's Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year December 31, 1997. PART II.
