Item 5.    Other Events.
 
On August 6, 2002, Greater Bay Bancorp filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Since we filed the Form 10-Q, we have received inquiries regarding the disclosure of our market sensitivity and property status analysis that we performed on our real estate loan portfolio. The purpose of this Form 8-K is to clarify that disclosure.
 
Page 34 of the Form 10-Q described the market sensitivity and property status analysis we performed on real estate loans in excess of $5.0 million and the expanded analysis on real estate loans between $2.0 million and $5.0 million. The disclosure stated that, “To date, we have not identified any loans in this category that would result in significant loss exposure.” This statement was intended to cover both the loans in excess of $5.0 million and those between $2.0 million and $5.0 million.
