The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ended December 31, 2001. Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial information presented was prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greater Bay Bancorp and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Bank of Petaluma, Bank of Santa Clara, Bay Area Bank, Bay Bank of Commerce, Coast Commercial Bank, Cupertino National Bank, Golden Gate Bank, Mid-Peninsula Bank, Mt. Diablo National Bank, Peninsula Bank of Commerce, GBB Capital I, GBB Capital II, GBB Capital III, GBB Capital IV, GBB Capital V, GBB Capital VI, Matsco Lease Finance, Inc. II, and Matsco Lease Finance, Inc. III, and our operating divisions. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation. In the opinion of management such unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for fair statement of the results of operations and balances for the interim period presented. Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and the prevailing practices within the banking industry. We have completed six mergers and acquisitions since December 31, 1999. The mergers with Mt. Diablo Bancshares, Coast Bancorp, Bank of Santa Clara and Bank of Petaluma were accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, all of our financial information for the periods prior to the mergers has been restated as if the mergers had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The acquisitions of The Matsco Companies, Inc. and CAPCO Financial Company, Inc. ("CAPCO") were accounted for using the purchase accounting method and accordingly The Matsco Companies, Inc.'s and CAPCO's results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 7 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" requires us to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and display the accumulated other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings in the equity section of the balance sheet. The changes to the balances of accumulated other comprehensive income are as follows: Accumulated Unrealized other gains on Cash flow comprehensive (Dollars in thousands) securities hedges income -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance - December 31, 2000 $ (6,700) $ 148 $ (6,552) Current period change 9,756 23 9,779 -------------------------------------------------------- Balance - June 30, 2001 $ 3,056 $ 171 $ 3,227 ======================================================== Balance - December 31, 1999 $ (10,662) $ 1,504 $ (9,158) Current period change (6,811) 192 (6,619) -------------------------------------------------------- Balance - June 30, 2000 $ (17,473) $ 1,696 $ (15,777) ======================================================== Balance - March 31, 2001 $ 2,451 $ (855) $ 1,596 Current period change 605 1,026 1,631 -------------------------------------------------------- Balance - June 30, 2001 $ 3,056 $ 171 $ 3,227 ======================================================== Balance - March 31, 2000 $ (12,418) $ 1,755 $ (10,663) Current period change (5,055) (59) (5,114) -------------------------------------------------------- Balance - June 30, 2000 $ (17,473) $ 1,696 $ (15,777) ======================================================== 8 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 Segment Information In accordance with SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"), we use the "management approach" for reporting business segment information. The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable segments. SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. NOTE 2--BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On March 30, 2001, we completed the acquisition of CAPCO for a purchase price of $8.5 million in cash and 44,820 shares of common stock with a fair value of $1.4 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, CAPCO's results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. The source of funds for the acquisition was a $6.9 million advance on an existing credit line, with the remainder paid from our available cash. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, totaling $5.7 million, has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on the straight-line method over twenty years. On June 25, 2001, we signed a definitive merger agreement with SJNB Financial Corp., the holding company for San Jose National Bank. The agreement provides for SJNB Financial Corp. shareholders to receive approximately 6.9 million shares of our stock subject to certain adjustments based on changes in our stock price in a tax-free exchange to be accounted for as a pooling-of- interest. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2001, subject to Greater Bay and SJNB Financial Corp. shareholders' and regulatory approvals. As of and for the six month ended June 30, 2001, SJNB Financial Corp. had $17.2 million in net interest income, $5.8 million in net income, $660.5 million in assets, $562.8 in deposits and $70.5 million in shareholders' equity. NOTE 3--INVESTMENT SECURITIES During the first quarter of 2001, we transferred our entire portfolio of held to maturity debt securities to the available for sale category. The amortized cost of these securities at the time of transfer was $345.8 million and the securities had an unrealized gain of $11.0 million ($6.4 million, net of taxes) at the time of the transfer. Although our intention to hold a majority of our debt securities to maturity has not changed, the transfer was made to increase our flexibility in responding to future economic changes and to increase our efficiency in managing our investment portfolio. Subsequent to the transfer, we sold securities which had been classified as held to maturity at December 31, 2000 with an amortized cost of $42.3 million for a gain of $2.4 million. 9 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 NOTE 4--BORROWINGS Other borrowings are detailed as follows: June 30, December 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other borrowings: Short term borrowings: Securities sold under agreements to repurchase $ 186,050 $ 63,000 Other short term notes payable - 15,419 FHLB advances 980,600 183,000 Advances under credit lines 48,000 15,000 ------------------- ------------------- Total short term borrowings 1,214,650 276,419 ------------------- ------------------- Long term borrowings: Other long term notes payable 27,276 51,809 FHLB advances 103,000 103,000 ------------------- ------------------- Total other long term borrowings 130,276 154,809 ------------------- ------------------- Total other borrowings $ 1,344,926 $ 431,228 =================== =================== During the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000, the average balance of securities sold under short term agreements to repurchase was $84.2 million and $76.8 million, respectively, and the average interest rates during those periods were 4.17% and 6.05%, respectively. Securities sold under short term agreements to repurchase generally mature within 90 days of dates of purchase. During the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000, the average balance of federal funds purchased was $97.8 million and $105.3 million, respectively, and the average interest rates during those periods were 5.78% and 6.49%, respectively. There was no such balance outstanding at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. The FHLB advances are collateralized by loans and securities pledged to the FHLB. The following is a breakdown of rates and maturities: (Dollars in thousands) Short term Long term ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amount $ 980,600 $ 103,000 Maturity 2001 2002 - 2003 Average rates 4.43% 5.92% As of June 30, 2001, we had short-term, unsecured credit facilities from two financial institutions totaling $65.0 million. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, we had advances outstanding of $48.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, under these facilities. The average rate paid on these advances was approximately LIBOR + 0.50%. In addition, we were in compliance with all related financial covenants for these credit facilities. 10 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 NOTE 5--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL COMPANY OBLIGATED MANDITORILY REDEEMABLE CUMULATIVE TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY TRUST HOLDING SOLEY JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES On July 16, 2001, we completed a $15.0 million trust preferred securities private offering. We issued the trust preferred securities through a newly created trust subsidiary, GBB Capital VI, to a qualified institutional buyer. The trust preferred securities bear an interest rate of 6-month LIBOR plus 3.75% payable semi-annually. GBB Capital VI used the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities to purchase junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of Greater Bay. Greater Bay intends to invest a portion of the net proceeds in one or more of our subsidiary banks to increase their capital levels and intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, we expect that the trust preferred securities will qualify as Tier I Capital. In connection with this transaction, we concurrently entered into an interest rate swap agreement to cap the cost of the offering at 8.75% for 10 years. On July 25, 2001, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3, plus a 15% over allotment option, with the Securities Exchange Commission relating to a proposed sale of $75.0 million, plus a 15% overallotment option, in trust preferred securities in an underwritten public offering. We expect the sale of these securities to occur during the third quarter of 2001. NOTE 6--PER SHARE DATA Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares plus common equivalent shares outstanding including dilutive stock options. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. 11 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 For the three months ended June 30, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------- Income Shares Per share (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) (numerator) (denominator) amount ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic net income per share: Income available to common shareholders $ 21,148 42,562,000 $ 0.50 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options - 1,123,000 -------- ----------- Diluted net income per share: Income available to common shareholders and assumed conversions $ 21,148 43,685,000 $ 0.48 ======== =========== For the three months ended June 30, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------- Income Shares Per share (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) (numerator) (denominator) amount ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic net income per share: Income available to common shareholders $ 10,425 41,207,000 $ 0.25 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options - 1,706,000 -------- ----------- Diluted net income per share: Income available to common shareholders and assumed conversions $ 10,425 42,913,000 $ 0.24 ======== =========== For the six months ended June 30, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------- Income Shares Per share (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) (numerator) (denominator) amount -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic net income per share: Income available to common shareholders $ 42,679 42,445,000 $ 1.01 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options - 1,646,000 --------- ----------- Diluted net income per share: Income available to common shareholders and assumed conversions $ 42,679 44,091,000 $ 0.97 ========= ========== For the six months ended June 30, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------- Income Shares Per share (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) (numerator) (denominator) amount -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic net income per share: Income available to common shareholders $ 27,721 40,752,000 $ 0.68 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options - 1,805,000 --------- ----------- Diluted net income per share: Income available to common shareholders and assumed conversions $ 27,721 42,557,000 $ 0.65 ========= =========== 12 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 There were options to purchase 1,370,127 shares and 0 shares that were considered anti-dilutive whereby the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares, during the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. There were options to purchase 1,311,947 shares and 2,156 shares that were considered anti-dilutive during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 has been retroactively restated to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split effective as of October 4, 2000. Weighted average shares outstanding and all per share amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are based upon the increased number of shares giving retroactive effect to the 2000 mergers with Bank of Petaluma at a 0.5731 conversion ratio and Bank of Santa Clara at a 0.8499 conversion ratio. NOTE 7--ACTIVITY OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS The accounting policies of the segments are described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Segment data includes intersegment revenue, as well as charges allocating all corporate-headquarters costs to each of our operating segments. Intersegment revenue is recorded at prevailing market terms and rates and is not significant to the results of the segments. This revenue is eliminated in consolidation. We evaluate the performances of our segments and allocate resources to them based on net interest income, other income, net income before income taxes, total assets and deposits. We are organized primarily along community banking and trust divisions. Thirteen of the divisions have been aggregated into the "community banking" segment. Community banking provides a range of commercial banking services to small and medium-sized businesses, real estate developers, property managers, business executives, professionals and other individuals. The trust division has been shown as the "trust operations" segment. Our business is conducted in the U.S. The following table shows each segment's key operating results and financial position for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000: Six months ended Six months ended June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 ---------------------------------- ------------------------------ Community Trust Community Trust (Dollars in thousands) banking operations banking operations ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net interest income $ 134,755 $ 458 $ 105,010 $ 300 Other income 20,242 2,083 23,904 1,761 Operating expenses 43,276 1,474 37,932 1,348 Net income before income taxes (1) 95,073 938 70,467 620 Total assets 5,679,942 - 3,964,444 - Deposits 4,316,752 55,460 3,652,276 64,034 Assets under management - 683,306 - 795,042 ____________ (1) Includes intercompany earnings allocation charge which is eliminated in consolidation. 13 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 A reconciliation of total segment net interest income and other income combined, net income before income taxes, and total assets to the consolidated numbers in each of these categories for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 is presented below.

Diablo National Bank and Peninsula Bank of Commerce. As of June 30, 2001, we owned GBB Capital I, GBB Capital II, GBB Capital III, GBB Capital IV, GBB Capital V and GBB Capital VI, which are Delaware statutory business trusts formed for the exclusive purpose of issuing and selling Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities. We also own Matsco Lease Finance, Inc. II and Matsco Lease Finance, Inc. III, which are special purpose corporations formed for the exclusive purpose of securitizing leases and issuing lease-backed notes. We also operate through the following divisions: CAPCO, Greater Bay Bank Contra Costa Region, Greater Bay Bank Fremont Region, Greater Bay Bank Marin, Greater Bay Bank Santa Clara Valley Commercial Banking Group, Greater Bay Bank SBA Lending Group, Greater Bay Corporate Finance Group, Greater Bay International Banking Division, Greater Bay Trust Company, Matsco, Pacific Business Funding and the Venture Banking Group. We provide a wide range of commercial banking services to small and medium- sized businesses, real estate developers, property managers, business executives, professionals and other individuals. We operate throughout the San Francisco Bay Area including Silicon Valley, San Francisco and the San Francisco Peninsula, the East Bay, Santa Cruz, Marin and Sonoma Counties, with 38 offices located in Aptos, Blackhawk, Capitola, Cupertino, Danville, Fremont, Hayward, Lafayette, Millbrae, Milpitas, Palo Alto, Petaluma, Pleasanton, Point Reyes Station, Redwood City, San Francisco, San Jose, San Leandro, San Mateo, San Ramon, San Rafael, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, Sunnyvale, Valley Ford, Walnut Creek and Watsonville. At June 30, 2001, we had total assets of $6.2 billion, total loans, net, of $3.7 billion and total deposits of $4.3 billion. We have completed six mergers and acquisitions since December 31, 1999. The mergers with Mt. Diablo Bancshares, Coast Bancorp, Bank of Santa Clara and Bank of Petaluma were accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, all of our financial information for the periods prior to the mergers has been restated as if the mergers had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The acquisitions of The Matsco Companies, Inc. and CAPCO were accounted for using the purchase accounting method and accordingly The Matsco Companies, Inc.'s and CAPCO's results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 have been retroactively restated to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split effective October 4, 2000. 15 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide greater details of our results of operations and financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial data included elsewhere in this document. Certain statements under this caption constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our 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 we conduct our operations, fluctuation in interest rates, credit quality and government regulation and other factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table summarizes income, income per share and key financial ratios for the periods indicated using three different measurements: Core earnings (income before nonrecurring warrant income, merger and other related nonrecurring costs, other nonrecurring expenses and extraordinary items) ------------------------------------------------------ Three months ended Three months ended (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income $ 20,856 $ 16,719 Income per share: Basic $ 0.49 $ 0.41 Diluted $ 0.48 $ 0.39 Return on average assets 1.45% 1.60% Return on average shareholders' equity 23.00% 23.62% Income including nonrecurring warrant income and before merger and other related nonrecurring costs, other nonrecurring expenses and extraordinary items ------------------------------------------------------ Three months ended Three months ended (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income $ 21,148 $ 17,169 Income per share: Basic $ 0.50 $ 0.42 Diluted $ 0.48 $ 0.40 Return on average assets 1.47% 1.64% Return on average shareholders' equity 23.32% 24.26% Net income (including non-recurring warrant income and merger and other related nonrecurring costs, other nonrecurring expenses and extraordinary items) ------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended Three months ended (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income $ 21,148 $ 10,425 Income per share: Basic $ 0.50 $ 0.25 Diluted $ 0.48 $ 0.24 Return on average assets 1.47% 1.00% Return on average shareholders' equity 23.32% 14.73% Core earnings (income before nonrecurring warrant income, merger and other related nonrecurring costs, other nonrecurring expenses and extraordinary items) ------------------------------------------------------- Six months ended Six months ended (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income $ 42,387 $ 31,385 Income per share: Basic $ 1.00 $ 0.77 Diluted $ 0.96 $ 0.74 Return on average assets 1.57% 1.54% Return on average shareholders' equity 24.27% 22.78% Income including nonrecurring warrant income and before merger and other related nonrecurring costs, other nonrecurring expenses and extraordinary items -------------------------------------------------- Six months ended Six months ended (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income $ 42,679 $ 36,854 Income per share: Basic $ 1.01 $ 0.90 Diluted $ 0.97 $ 0.87 Return on average assets 1.58% 1.81% Return on average shareholders' equity 24.43% 26.75% Net income (including non-recurring warrant income and merger and other related nonrecurring costs, other nonrecurring expenses and extraordinary items) ------------------------------------------------------- Six months ended Six months ended (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income $ 42,679 $ 27,721 Income per share: Basic $ 1.01 $ 0.68 Diluted $ 0.97 $ 0.65 Return on average assets 1.58% 1.36% Return on average shareholders' equity 24.43% 20.12% 16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Quarter to Date Net income for the second quarter of 2001 increased 102.9% to $21.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2000. The second quarter 2001 results included nonrecurring warrant income of $504,000 ($292,000 net of taxes) compared to $740,000 ($450,000, net of taxes) during the second quarter of 2000. In addition, for the second quarter of 2001 there were no merger and other related nonrecurring costs as compared to $10.2 million ($6.7 million, net of taxes) in the second quarter of 2000. Income including nonrecurring warrant income and before nonrecurring merger and other related expenses and extraordinary items, increased 23.2% to $21.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2001, compared to $17.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2000. Our core earnings for the second quarter of 2001 increased 24.7% to $20.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $16.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2000. Based on our core earnings for second quarter of 2001, our return on average shareholders' equity was 23.00% and our return on average assets was 1.45%. During the second quarter of 2000, our core earnings resulted in a return on average shareholders' equity of 23.62% and a return on average assets of 1.60%. The 24.7% increase in core earnings during second quarter of 2001 as compared to second quarter of 2000 was the result of significant growth in loans and investments. For the second quarter of 2001, net interest income increased 21.5% as compared to the second quarter of 2000. This increase was primarily due to a 35.8% increase in average interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2001 as compared to 2000. The increases in loans, trust assets, and deposits also contributed to the 4.2% increase in loan and international banking fees, service charges and other fees, and trust fees. Increases in operating expenses were required to service and support our growth. As a result, increases in revenue were partially offset for the second quarter of 2001 by a 26.7% increase in recurring operating expenses, as compared to second quarter of 2000. Year to Date Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased 54.0% to $42.7 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared to net income of $27.7 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The six months ended June 30, 2001 results included nonrecurring warrant income of $504,000 ($292,000 net of taxes) as compared to $9.3 million ($5.5 million, net of taxes) during the six months ended June 30, 2000. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2001 there were no merger and other related nonrecurring costs as compared to $14.1 million ($9.1 million, net of taxes) in the six months ended June 30, 2000. Income including nonrecurring warrant income and before nonrecurring merger and other related expenses and extraordinary items, increased 15.8% to $42.7 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30 2001, compared to $36.9 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Our core earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased 35.1% to $42.4 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to $31.4 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Based on our core earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2001, our return on average shareholders' equity was 24.27% and our return on average assets was 1.57%. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, our core earnings resulted in a return on average shareholders' equity of 22.78% and a return on average assets of 1.54%. 17 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The 35.1% increase in core earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000 was the result of significant growth in loans and investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net interest income increased 26.5% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to a 32.9% increase in average interest-earning assets during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increases in loans, trust assets, and deposits also contributed to the 16.2% increase in loan and international banking fees, service charges and other fees, and trust fees. Increases in operating expenses were required to service and support our growth. As a result, increases in revenue were partially offset for the six months ended June 30, 2001 by a 24.3% increase in recurring operating expenses, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000. Net Interest Income-Overview We are subject to continued pressure on our net interest margin, primarily attributable to the rapidly declining interest rate environment, our asset sensitive balance sheet, slowdown in loan and deposit growth, combined with a shift in the mix of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. In response to those conditions, during the second quarter of 2001, we changed our balance sheet mix and composition as we have shifted the funding source of our specialty finance businesses from a core deposit base to a wholesale funding strategy. This shift in funding corresponds with our original strategy for financing these niche specialty finance businesses. The impact of this change has allowed us to also restructure and increase the size of our investment portfolio by funding it with the deposits which previously supported the specialty finance business units. The overall impact of this funding change has been threefold. First, it has increased the overall net interest income from operations, second it has allowed us to improve liquidity and reduce the duration of our investment portfolio and third it has slightly reduced our asset sensitive balance sheet. On a combined basis, this change has positioned us to slightly reduce our exposure to declining interest rates, while also effectively restructuring our balance sheet to take advantage of market interest rates when they move upward. The following table highlights the change in composition of our balance sheet at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000: Assets (Dollars in thousands) June 30, 2001 December 31, 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans 60.4% 69.1% Investments 31.4% 18.4% Other assets 8.2% 12.5% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100.0% 100.0% Deposits (Dollars in thousands) June 30, 2001 December 31, 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Demand, non-interest bearing 19.6% 24.1% NOW, MMDA and savings 47.7% 50.0% Time certificates 32.7% 25.9% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100.0% 100.0% Liabilities & Equity (Dollars in thousands) June 30, 2001 December 31, 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deposits 68.4% 79.9% Other borrowing 21.3% 8.3% Other liabilities 2.9% 3.7% Equity 7.4% 8.1% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100.0% 100.0% 18 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The impact on our net interest margin from this change in balance sheet mix has been a reduction in the net interest margin, offset by an increase in average earning assets. The overall impact on our net interest income and interest rate risk profile has been positive, net interest income has increased, while the asset sensitive nature of the balance sheet has been slightly reduced. Current modeling of our interest rate risk indicates that our net interest margin will contract approximately 5 to 7 basis points for every 25 basis point reduction in market interest rates. This relationship is estimated to be reasonable through an additional 50 basis point decline in market interest rates, assuming the mix and composition of our balance sheet remains similar. The restructuring of the balance sheet has reduced a small portion of the downward pressure on our net interest margin, but it has not substantially reduced the upside when market interest rates begin their upward trend. For every 25 basis point increase in rates, it is anticipated that our net interest margin will increase by approximately 10 to 12 basis points. Again, this assumes a similar mix in loans and deposits. However, in an improving economy, our clients' demand for loans should increase, thus having the effect of increasing the net interest margin at a more rapid pace. For further information regarding our interest rate risk, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk". 19 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Net Interest Income-Quarterly Net interest income increased 21.5% to $68.7 million for the second quarter of 2001 from $56.6 million for the second quarter of 2000. This increase was primarily due to the $1.4 billion, or 35.8%, increase in average interest- earning assets which was partially offset by a 61 basis point decrease in our net yield on interest-earning assets. Net interest income increased 3.8% in the second quarter of 2001 from $66.2 million from the first quarter of 2001. This increase was primarily due to the $720.7 million, or 15.4%, increase in average interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by the 63 basis point decrease in our net yield on interest-earning assets. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our condensed average balance sheet information together with interest income and yields earned on average interest-earning assets and interest expense and rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.

(4) Net yield on interest-earning assets during the period equals (a) the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, divided by (b) average interest-earning assets for the period. 20 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The most significant impact on our net interest income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume of, and rate earned or paid on, interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The volume of interest-earning asset dollars in loans and investments, compared to the volume of interest-bearing liabilities represented by deposits and borrowings, combined with the spread, produces the changes in the net interest income between periods. The table below sets forth, for the periods indicated a summary of the changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average interest rates (rate).

This was primarily due to the significant increase in loans and investment securities. Average interest-earning assets increased $1.4 billion, or 35.8%, to $5.4 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $4.0 billion in the same period of 2000. Average loans increased $932.5 million, or 33.0%, to $3.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.8 billion in the same period of 2000. Average investment securities, Federal funds sold and other short-term securities, increased 42.8% to $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2001 from $1.2 billion in the same period of 2000. The impact of the increase in average assets was partially offset by a decrease in the yield earned on interest-earning assets. During the first six months of 2001, interest rates declined, due to the Federal Reserve Board's reduction of the key Fed Funds Rate by 275 basis points. As a result, the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 55 basis points to 8.29% in the second quarter of 2001 from 8.84% in the same period of 2000. The average yield on loans decreased 79 basis points to 9.03% in the same period of 2001 from 9.82% in the same period of 2000. 21 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Interest expense in the second quarter of 2001 increased 39.0% to $43.1 million from $31.0 million in the same period of 2000. This increase was due to greater volumes of interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 46.5% to $4.4 billion in the second quarter of 2001 from $3.0 billion in the same period of 2000. The increase was due primarily to the increase in other borrowings which was a result of the implementation of our wholesale funding strategy, described above. The increase in borrowings was augmented by deposit growth resulting from the efforts of our relationship managers in generating core deposits from their client relationships and the deposits derived from the activities of the Greater Bay Trust Company and the Venture Banking Group. The impact of the increase in average liabilities was partially offset by a decrease in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. The average yield on interest-earning liabilities decreased 22 basis points to 3.97% in the second quarter of 2001 from 4.19% in the same period of 2000. The average yield on interest bearing deposits decreased 40 basis points to 3.71% in the same period of 2001 from 4.11% in the same period of 2000. During the second quarter of 2001, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased to $859.2 million from $823.3 million in the same period of 2000. As a result of the foregoing, our interest rate spread decreased to 4.32% in the second quarter of 2001 from 4.65% in the same period of 2000. The net yield on interest-earning assets decreased in the second quarter of 2001 to 5.10% from 5.71% in the same period of 2000. The Quarter Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to March 31, 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------- Interest income in the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 increased 4.8% to $111.8 million from $106.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001. This was primarily due to the significant increase in investment securities. Average interest-earning assets increased $720.7 million, or 15.4%, to $5.4 billion in the quarter ended June 30, 2001, compared to $4.7 billion in the previous quarter. Average loans increased $120.2 million, or 3.3%, to $3.8 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 from $3.6 billion in the previous quarter. Average investment securities, Federal funds sold and other short-term securities, increased 57.3% to $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2001 from $1.0 billion in the previous quarter. The impact of the increase in average assets was partially offset by a decrease in the yield earned on interest- earning assets. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, interest rates declined, due to the Federal Reserve Board's reduction of the key Fed Funds Rate by 125 basis points. As a result, the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 94 basis points to 8.29% in the second quarter of 2001 from 9.23% in the previous quarter. The average yield on loans decreased 88 basis points to 9.03% in second quarter of 2001 from 9.91% in the previous quarter. Interest expense in the second quarter of 2001 increased 6.5% to $43.1 million from $40.4 million in the previous quarter. This increase was due to greater volumes of interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 19.5% to $4.4 billion in the second quarter of 2001 from $3.6 billion in the previous quarter. The increase was due primarily to the increase in other borrowings which was a result of the implementation of our wholesale funding strategy, described above. The impact of the increase in average liabilities was partially offset by a decrease in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. 22 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The average yield on interest-earning liabilities decreased 53 basis points to 3.97% in the second quarter of 2001 from 4.50% in the previous quarter of 2001. The average yield on interest bearing deposits decreased 61 basis points to 3.71% in the second quarter from 4.32% in the previous quarter. During the second quarter of 2001, average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased to $859.2 million from $891.5 million in the previous quarter. As a result of the foregoing, our interest rate spread decreased to 4.32% in the second quarter of 2001 from 4.73% in the previous quarter. The net yield on interest-earning assets decreased in the second quarter of 2001 to 5.10% from 5.73% in the previous quarter. 23 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Net Interest Income-Year to Date Net interest income increased 26.5% to $135.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $106.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to the $1.3 billion, or 32.9%, increase in average interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by a 26 basis point decrease in our net yield on interest-earning assets. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our condensed average balance sheet information together with interest income and yields earned on average interest-earning assets and interest expense and rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.

This was primarily due to the significant increase in loans and investment securities. Average interest-earning assets increased $1.3 billion, or 32.9%, to $5.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $3.8 billion in the same period of 2000. Average loans increased $1.0 billion, or 39.5%, to $3.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.7 billion in the same period of 2000. Average investment securities, Federal funds sold and other short-term securities, increased 17.8% to $1.4 billion in the six months ended 2001 from $1.1 billion in the same period of 2000. The impact of the increase in average assets was offset by a decrease in the yield earned on average interest- earning assets. During the first six months of 2001, interest rates declined, due to the Federal Reserve Board's reduction of the key Fed Funds Rate by 275 basis points. As a result, the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 14 basis points to 8.72% in the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 8.86% in the same period of 2000 primarily due to lower interest rate. The average yield on loans decreased 44 basis points to 9.46% in the same period of 2001 from 9.90% for the same period of 2000. 25 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased 37.7% to $83.5 million from $60.7 million for the same period of 2000. This increase was due to greater volumes of interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 37.9% to $4.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.9 billion in the same period of 2000. The increase was due primarily to the increase in other borrowings which was a result of the implementation of our wholesale funding strategy, described above. The increase in borrowings was augmented by deposit growth resulting from the efforts of our relationship managers in generating core deposits from their client relationships and the deposits derived from the activities of the Greater Bay Trust Company and the Venture Banking Group. The average yield on interest-bearing liabilities did not change for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same period of 2000. The average yield on interest bearing deposits decreased 12 basis points to 4.01% in the same period of 2001 from 4.13% for the same period in 2000. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased to $875.3 million from $797.1 million in the same period of 2000. As a result of the foregoing, our interest rate spread decreased to 4.51% in the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 4.65% in the same period of 2000. The net yield on interest-earning assets decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 5.39% from 5.65% in the same period of 2000. We incurred certain client service expenses with respect to our noninterest-bearing liabilities. These expenses include courier and armored car services, check supplies and other related items that are included in operating expenses. If these expenses had been included in interest expense, our net yield on interest-earning assets would have been as follows for each of the periods presented.

The cost for client service expense reflects our efforts to manage interest expense. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses represents the current period credit cost associated with maintaining an appropriate allowance for credit losses. The loan loss provision for each period is dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, net charge-offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, management's assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio, the value of the underlying collateral on problem loans and the general economic conditions in our market area. Periodic fluctuations in the provision for loan losses result from management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; however, actual loan losses may vary from current estimates. 26 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Refer to the section "Financial Condition - Allowance for Loan Losses" for a description of our systematic methodology employed in determining an adequate allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2001 was $9.8 million, compared to $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2001 and $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2000. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $16.8 million as compared to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. In addition, in connection with the Coast Bancorp merger and the Mt. Diablo Bancshares merger, we made an additional provision for loan losses of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2000 and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, to conform to our allowance methodology. For further information on nonperforming and classified loans and the allowance for loan losses, see "Financial Condition -- Nonperforming and Classified Assets". Other Income Total recurring income increased to $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2001, compared to $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2001 and $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2000. The following table sets forth information by category of other income for the periods indicated.

That increase during the second quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2001 was partially offset by a decrease in loan and international banking fees, gain on sales of loans and other income. During the second quarter of 2001, we recorded a $3.9 million gain on the sale of investments, as compared to $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2001 and $58,000 during the second quarter of 2000. The gain on sale of investments allowed us to postpone the planned sale of Matsco loans. Our future plans would indicate selling approximately 20% to 40% of Matsco's loan production. By retaining all of Matsco's loan production during the six months ended June 30, 2001, we have retained higher yielding assets with an increase in net interest income and greater flexibility for future Matsco loan sales. During the second quarter of 2001, we recorded $2.1 million of loan and international banking fees, as compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2001 and to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2000. Approximately $788,000 of this increase in the second quarter of 2001, as compared to the second quarter of 2000, relates to fee income earned by Matsco and CAPCO. A significant portion of the remaining growth from the second quarter of 2001 as compared to the second quarter of 2000 is a result of the growth in our overall loan portfolio. 27 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) During the second quarter of 2001, we recorded a $375,000 gain on sale of SBA loans, as compared to $835,000 in the first quarter of 2001, and $753,000 in the second quarter of 2000. We originate SBA loans with the intention of selling a significant portion of those loans into the secondary market. Occasionally, weakness in the market for these loans will cause us to retain newly originated loans in our portfolio until such time that the secondary market for these loans strengthens. Such a weakness in the secondary market for these loans took place in the latter half of 2000, causing us to reduce the pace of our SBA loan sales. In the first quarter of 2001, we increased the amount of the sales of SBA loans as market conditions for these sales had improved. In the second quarter of 2001, originations declined and market conditions continued to weaken and as a result, our pace of sales declined. Other income in the second quarter of 2001 and the second quarter of 2000 included warrant income of $504,000 and $740,000, which is net of related employee incentives of $216,000 and $668,000, respectively. At June 30, 2001, we held approximately 135 warrant positions for which we do not have a significant recorded investment. We occasionally receive warrants to acquire common stock from companies that are in the start-up or development phase. The timing and amount of income derived from the exercise and sale of client warrants typically depend upon factors beyond our control, and cannot be predicted with any degree of accuracy and are likely to vary materially from period to period. Operating Expenses The following table sets forth the major components of operating expenses for the periods indicated.

The ratio of operating expenses to average assets was 2.60% in the second quarter of 2001, 2.84% in the first quarter of 2001, and 3.79% in the second quarter of 2000. Total operating expenses include merger and other related nonrecurring costs. The efficiency ratio is computed by dividing total operating expenses by net interest income and other income. An increase in the efficiency ratio indicates that more resources are being utilized to generate the same (or greater) volume of income while a decrease would indicate a more efficient allocation of resources. Our efficiency ratio before merger, nonrecurring and extraordinary items for the second quarter of 2001 was 46.39%, compared to 46.23% for the first quarter of 2001 and 45.74% for the second quarter of 2000. Compensation and benefits expenses increased in the second quarter of 2001 to $19.1 million, compared to $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2001 and $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2000. The increase in the second quarter of 2001, as compared to the first quarter is the result of an increase in full time equivalent employees from 1,023 to 1,047 during that period, which equates to an annualized growth rate in staffing of less than 10%. We believe future growth will be less in subsequent quarters. An additional contributing factor to the increase in compensation and benefits for the second quarter of 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000 is due to the addition of Matsco and CAPCO in our results. The remainder of the increase is due to additions in personnel made during the prior twelve months. Trust Preferred Securities expense was $2.5 million for the first and second quarters of 2001 compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2000. The increase in this expense was the result of the $50.5 million in Trust Preferred Securities issued in 2000. The increases in occupancy and equipment, legal and other professional fees, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance and regulatory assessments and other operating expenses were related to the growth in our staffing levels, loans, deposits and trust assets. Our goodwill amortization for the second quarter of 2001 was $272,000, compared to $199,000 in the first quarter of 2001. Our diluted earnings per share excluding goodwill amortization was $0.49 for the second quarter of 2001. Income Taxes Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2001 was 37.5%, compared to 37.5% in the first quarter of 2001 and 39.4% in the second quarter of 2000. The effective rates were lower than the statutory rate of 42% due to state enterprise zone tax credits and tax-exempt income on municipal securities. The reductions were partially offset by the impact of nondeductible merger and other related nonrecurring costs. 29 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets increased 21.3% to $6.2 billion at June 30, 2001, compared to $5.1 billion at December 31, 2000. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2001 was primarily due to increases in our investment and loan portfolios funded by growth in deposits and other borrowings. Investment Securities Investment securities increased to $2.0 billion at June 30, 2001 compared to $962.3 million at December 31, 2000. The increase is a result of the shift in our funding sources for our specialty finance divisions. This change allowed us to increase the size of the investment portfolio by funding it with deposits which previously supported our specialty finance units. For further information see "Net Interest Income - Overview" above. During the first quarter of 2001, we began a program to consolidate the investment portfolios of our ten subsidiary banks. As a result of this program, we liquidated a number of our smaller investment positions. We anticipate that this will result in improved operating efficiencies as well as improving the overall yield, as our average block sizes increase. During the first quarter of 2001, we sold 51 securities with an amortized cost of $64.3 million for a recognized gain of $1.6 million. Those sales include 22 securities previously classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost of $20.4 million for a gain of $1.1 million. During the second quarter of 2001, we sold 73 securities with an amortized cost of $69.3 million for a recognized gain of $1.6 million. Those sales include 30 securities previously classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost of $21.9 million for a gain of $1.3 million. In total, these sales resulted in an insignificant reduction in the yield on our investment portfolio. We anticipate making further investment securities sales under this program in subsequent quarters. The average life of the portfolio has declined from approximately 7 to approximately 3 1/2 years. Shortening the duration of the investment portfolio will result in an increase in the proceeds from maturities and prepayments in the next year which will provide additional funding for loan growth when the economy begins its recovery. Loans Total gross loans increased to $3.8 billion at June 30, 2001, compared to $3.6 billion at December 31, 2000 and $2.9 billion at June 30, 2000. While continue to anticipate loan growth, we do not expect the growth rate of over 30% experienced during the last three years to continue. Our performance goals for 2001 (included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 26, 2001) indicated a target loan growth rate of 10% to 15%. At June 30, 2001, our loan pipeline was approximately $630 million. Historically, we have funded between 65% and 70% of our pipeline. Although historical experience is not a guarantee of future performance, our relationship officers who work with individual clients are cautiously optimistic that there will continue to be a demand for credits without requiring us to sacrifice credit quality. We have continued to see strong loan demand during the second quarter of 2001, as evidenced by May 2001 being the most active month in our history in new loan documents processed. However, even with the significant volume increase, we are seeing a change in our corporate borrowers' usage of their lines of credit and we are also seeing a slowing in the commercial construction market, as builders postpone or delay projects that have been in process for several months. We continue to take a conservative posture related to credit underwriting, which we believe is a prudent course of action, especially during slowing economic times. We believe it is in the best interest of Greater Bay Bancorp and its shareholders to focus attention on our quality client relationships and avoid growth on the fringe during these uncertain times. Both of these factors have combined to cause a slowing in the growth of our loan portfolio. 30 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) While the short-term outlook for loan growth has slowed from late 2000 and early 2001, we are optimistic about the future, as we have continued to invest in new businesses that we believe will bring excellent opportunities for growth and expansion. Our acquisitions of Matsco, a dental equipment lease financing company, at the end of 2000 and CAPCO, an asset-based financing and factoring company, at the end of the first quarter of this year, are showing excellent growth opportunities as they become fully integrated into the our organization. Our new office in Marin County is now operational as a loan production office and our Carmel office is targeted to open in September of this year. In addition, the four banks that joined us last year are now fully integrated, both operationally and culturally into our organization. We expect solid growth from all of these sources in the latter part of 2001 and into 2002. The following table presents the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

While no specific industry concentration is considered significant, our lending operations are located in a market area that is dependent on the technology and real estate industries and supporting service companies. Thus, a downturn in these sectors of the economy could adversely impact our borrowers. This could, in turn, reduce the demand for loans and adversely impact the borrowers' abilities to repay their loans, while also decreasing our net interest margin. The following table presents the maturity distribution of our commercial, real estate construction and land, term real estate - commercial and real estate other portfolios and the sensitivity of such loans to changes in interest rates at June 30, 2001.

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any interest previously accrued and not collected is generally reversed from income. Loans are charged off when management determines that collection has become unlikely. Restructured loans are those where the Banks have granted a concession on the interest paid or original repayment terms due to financial difficulties of the borrower. Other real estate owned ("OREO") consists of real property acquired through foreclosure on the related collateral underlying defaulted loans. The following table sets forth information regarding nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets at June 30, 2001 was 0.12%, as compared to 0.25% at December 31, 2000 and 0.22% at June 30, 2000. Our ratios compare favorably to the industry average ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.83% at December 31, 2000, which represents the most recently available data. In addition to the loans disclosed above as nonaccrual or restructured, management has also identified approximately $16.5 million in loans that, on the basis of information known to us, were judged to have a higher than normal risk of becoming nonperforming. Management cannot, however, predict the extent to which economic conditions may worsen or other factors may have on our borrowers and on our loan portfolio. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other loans will not become 90 days or more past due, be placed on nonaccrual, become restructured loans, or other real estate owned in the future. 33 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of risk inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged against current earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. Loans are charged off when they are deemed to be uncollectable; recoveries are generally recorded only when cash payments are received. The following table sets forth information concerning our allowance for loan losses at the dates and for the periods indicated.

During the second quarter of 2001, our ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding increased to 0.79%, as compared to 0.59% for the first quarter of 2001 and 0.58% for the second quarter of 2000. 34 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) We employ a systematic methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses, which includes a monthly review process and monthly adjustment of the allowance. Our process includes a periodic loan by loan review for loans that are individually evaluated for impairment as well as detailed reviews of other loans (either individually or in pools). This includes an assessment of known problem loans, potential problem loans, and other loans that exhibit indicators of deterioration. Our methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance for loan losses that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include our historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in non-performing loans, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known information about individual loans including borrowers' sensitivity to interest rate movements and borrowers' sensitivity to quantifiable external factors including commodity and finished goods prices as well as acts of nature (earthquakes, fires, etc.) that occur in a particular period. In view of the increasing uncertainties regarding general economic and business conditions in our primary market areas, and in particular with respect to the real estate and technology industries, and uncertainties specifically related to the impact of the California energy crisis, we instituted additional review procedures during the first quarter of 2001. As a normal part of our ongoing analysis of loans in our real estate loan portfolio, we request and review on an annual basis updated financial and other information from the borrower, including updated rent rolls and lease rates. In addition, as part of our ongoing analysis of commercial and real estate loans, we perform stress tests on the financial condition of the borrower to determine what magnitude of change in income or expenses of the borrower could impact the borrower's ability to service the debt. To supplement this analysis, we have requested our loan officers to review their loan portfolios to identify borrowers whom they believe could suffer significant adverse effects from either increasing energy costs or periodic power outages. We have not to date identified any such borrowers. Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in our marketplace, and in particular, the state of the technology industries based in the Silicon Valley and other key industries in the San Francisco Bay Area. Size and complexity of individual credits in relation to lending officers' background and experience levels, loan structure, extent and nature of waivers of existing loan policies and pace of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered in our methodology. Our methodology is, and has been, consistently followed. However, as we add new products, increase in complexity, and expand our geographic coverage, we will enhance our methodology to keep pace with the size and complexity of the loan portfolio. In this regard, we have periodically engaged outside firms to independently assess our methodology, and on an ongoing basis we engage outside firms to perform independent credit reviews of our loan portfolio. Management believes that our systematic methodology continues to be appropriate given our size and level of complexity. While this methodology utilizes historical and other objective information, the establishment of the allowance for loan losses and the classification of loans, is to some extent, based on the judgment and experience of management. In general, management believes feels that the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 2001. However, future changes in circumstances, economic conditions or other factors could cause management to increase or decrease the allowance for loan losses as necessary. 35 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) At June 30, 2001, the allowance for loan losses was $88.2 million, consisting of a $63.8 million allocated allowance and a $24.4 million unallocated allowance. The unallocated allowance recognizes the model and estimation risk associated with the allocated allowances, and management's evaluation of various conditions, the effects of which are not directly measured in determining the allocated allowance. The evaluation of the inherent loss regarding these conditions involves a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated allowance include the following at the balance sheet date: . Business cycles and existing general economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas; economic and business conditions affecting our key lending portfolios; . Seasoning of the loan portfolio, growth in loan volumes and changes in loan terms; and . The results of bank regulatory examinations. Deposits Total deposits increased tO $4.3 billion at June 30, 2001, compared to $4.2 billion at December 31, 2000 and $3.7 billion at June 30, 2000. While continue to anticipate strong deposit growth, we do not expect the growth rate experienced during the last three years to continue. Our performance goals for 2001 (included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 26, 2001) indicated a target deposit growth rate of 5% to 10%. In this economic environment, we believe our clients are more likely to utilize deposits and cash- on-hand rather than other funding sources. This is particularly evidenced in our venture banking unit, as our business clients focus more on managing current operations rather than business expansion, which has resulted in a reduction in their borrowing needs. The economic slowdown has also impacted our Trust unit as the general market conditions have reduced investments in our money market accounts. Liquidity and Cash Flow The objective of our liquidity management is to maintain each Bank's ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of our clients who either wish to withdraw funds or require funds to meet their credit needs. We must manage our liquidity position to allow the Banks to meet the needs of their clients while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment expectations of our shareholders. We monitor the sources and uses of funds on a daily basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. In addition to liquidity from core deposits and repayments and maturities of loans and investments, the Banks can utilize brokered deposit lines, sell securities under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances or purchase overnight Federal Funds. Greater Bay is a company separate and apart from the Banks. It must provide for its own liquidity. Substantially all of Greater Bay's revenues are obtained from management fees, interest received on our investments and dividends declared and paid by the Banks. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability of the Banks to pay dividends to Greater Bay. At June 30, 2001, the Banks had approximately $112.2 million in the aggregate available to be paid as dividends to Greater Bay. Management of Greater Bay believes that such restrictions will not have an impact on the ability of Greater Bay to meet its ongoing cash obligations. As of June 30, 2001, Greater Bay did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. 36 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Net cash provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of net income, totaled $37.5 million for second quarter of 2001 and $35.1 million for the same period of 2000. Cash used for investing activities totaled $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2001 and $650.6 million in the same period of 2000. The funds used for investing activities primarily represent increases in loans and investment securities for each year reported. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 billion, compared to $556.2 million in the same period of 2000. Historically, our primary financing activity has been through deposits. For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, deposit gathering activities generated cash of $151.7 million and $453.6 million, respectively. This represents a total of 14.3% and 81.6% of the financing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As a result of our wholesale funding strategy, the increase in borrowings generated cash of $913.8 million during the six months ended 2001, as compared to $39.0 million for the same period in 2000. Capital Resources Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2001 increased to $371.6 million from $322.4 million at December 31, 2000. Greater Bay paid dividends of $0.10, and $0.35 per share during the three months ended June 30, 2001 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2000, respectively, excluding dividends paid by subsidiaries prior to the completion of their mergers. A banking organization's total qualifying capital includes two components: core capital (Tier 1 capital) and supplementary capital (Tier 2 capital). Core capital, which must comprise at least half of total capital, includes common shareholders' equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, trust preferred securities (subject to regulatory limitations) and minority interests, less goodwill. Supplementary capital includes the allowance for loan losses (subject to certain limitations), other perpetual preferred stock, trust preferred securities, certain other capital instruments and term subordinated debt. Our major capital components are shareholders' equity and Trust Preferred Securities in core capital, and the allowance for loan losses in supplementary capital. At June 30, 2001, the minimum risk-based capital requirements to be considered adequately capitalized were 4.0% for core capital and 8.0% for total capital. Federal banking regulators have also adopted leverage capital guidelines to supplement risk-based measures. The leverage ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital as defined under the risk-based guidelines by average total assets (not risk-adjusted) for the preceding quarter. The minimum leverage ratio is 3.0%, although certain banking organizations are expected to exceed that amount by 1.0% or more, depending on their circumstances. Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC have adopted regulations setting forth a five-tier system for measuring the capital adequacy of the financial institutions they supervise. Our capital levels at June 30, 2001 and the two highest levels recognized under these regulations are as follows: Tier 1 Total Leverage risk-based risk-based ratio capital ratio capital ratio ------------------------------------------------------------------ Company 7.76% 9.19% 10.46% Well-capitalized 5.00% 6.00% 10.00% Adequately capitalized 4.00% 4.00% 8.00% 37 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) In order to strengthen our capital position, we issued $15.0 million in trust preferred securities in a private placement on July 16, 2001. On July 25, 2001, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities Exchange Commission relating to a proposed sale of $75.0 million, plus a 15% overallotment option, in trust preferred securities in an underwritten public offering. We expect the sale of these securities to occur during the third quarter of 2001. If these trust preferred securities had been issued prior to quarter end, our June 30, 2001 proforma capital positions would have been as follows: Tier 1 Total Leverage risk-based risk-based ratio capital ratio capital ratio ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proforma capital ratios including $15.0 million in trust preferred securities issued July 16, 2001 8.03% 9.47% 10.73% In addition, at June 30, 2001, each of our subsidiary banks had levels of capital that exceeded the well-capitalized guidelines. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Our financial performance is impacted by, among other factors, interest rate risk and credit risk. We utilize no derivatives to mitigate our credit risk, relying instead on an extensive loan review process and our allowance for loan losses. See "--Allowance for Loan Losses" herein. Interest rate risk is the change in value due to changes in interest rates. This risk is addressed by our Asset & Liability Management Committee "ALCO", which includes senior management representatives. The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact to the net portfolio of equity value and net interest income from potential changes to interest rates and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure. The ALCO manages our balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on net portfolio value and net interest income within acceptable ranges despite changes in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by the Board of Directors and the ALCO. Interest rate risk exposure is measured using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine our change in net portfolio value in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. If potential changes to net portfolio value and net interest income resulting from hypothetical interest rate changes are not within the limits established by the Board, the Board may direct management to adjust our asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk within Board-approved limits. In order to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we have implemented strategies to more closely match our balance sheet. We are currently focusing our investment activities on securities with terms or average lives between three and six years to shorten the average duration of our assets. We have utilized short-term borrowings and deposit marketing programs to shorten the effective duration of our liabilities. In addition, we have utilized interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk of the trust preferred securities, offerings issued August 12, 1998 and July 16, 2001. These interest rate swaps are not an "ineffective hedge" and are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133 and 138"). 38 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Market Value of Portfolio Equity Interest rate sensitivity is computed by estimating the changes in net portfolio of equity value, or market value over a range of potential changes in interest rates. The market value of equity is the market value of our assets minus the market value of our liabilities plus the market value of any off- balance sheet items. The market value of each asset, liability, and off-balance sheet item is our net present value of expected cash flows discounted at market rates after adjustment for rate changes. We measure the impact on market value for an immediate and sustained 100 basis point increase and decrease (shock) in interest rates. The following table shows our projected change in net portfolio value for this set of rate shocks as of June 30, 2001. Change in interest rates Net portfolio Projected change ---------------------- (Dollars in millions) value Dollars Percentage --------------------------------------------------------------- 100 basis point rise $ 791.1 $ (33.7) -4.09% Base scenario 824.7 - - 100 basis point decline 797.7 (27.0) -3.28% The market value of portfolio equity is based on the net present values of each product in the portfolio, which in turn is based on cash flows factoring in recent market prepayment estimates from public sources. The foregoing analysis attributes significant value to our non-interest-bearing deposit balances. The discount rates are based on recently observed spread relationships and adjusted for the assumed interest rate changes. Some valuations are provided directly from independent broker quotations. Net Interest Income Simulation The impact of interest rate changes on net interest income and net income are measured using income simulation. The various products in our balance sheet are modeled to simulate their income (and cash flow) behavior in relation to interest rates. Income for the next 12 months is calculated for current interest rates and for immediate and sustained rate shocks. The income simulation model includes various assumptions regarding the repricing relationships for each product. Many of our assets are floating rate loans, which are assumed to reprice immediately, and to the same extent as the change in market rates according to their contracted index. Our non-term deposit products reprice more slowly, usually changing less than the change in market rates and at our discretion. As of June 30, 2001, the analysis indicates that our net interest income for the next 12 months would increase 6.7% if rates increased 200 basis points, and decrease by 4.6% if rates decreased 200 basis points. 39 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) This analysis indicates the impact of change in net interest income for the given set of rate changes and assumptions. It assumes the balance sheet grows modestly, but that our structure is to remain similar to the structure created during the second quarter of 2001. It does not account for all the factors that impact this analysis including changes by management to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes or secondary impacts such as changes to our credit risk profile as interest rates change. Furthermore loan prepayment rate estimates and spread relationships change regularly. Interest rate changes create changes in actual loan prepayment rates that will differ from the market estimates incorporated in the analysis. In addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans our portfolio could decrease in future periods if market interest rates remain at or decrease below current levels. Changes that vary significantly from the assumptions may have significant effects on our net interest income. The results of this sensitivity analysis should not be relied upon as indicative of actual future results. Gap Analysis In addition to the above analysis, we also perform a Gap analysis as part of the overall interest rate risk management process. This analysis is focused on the maturity structure of assets and liabilities and their repricing characteristics over future periods. An effective interest rate risk management strategy seeks to match the volume of assets and liabilities maturing or repricing during each period. Gap sensitivity is measured as the difference between the volume of assets and liabilities in our current portfolio that is subject to repricing at various time horizons. The main focus is usually for the one-year cumulative gap. The difference is known as interest sensitivity gaps. The following table shows interest sensitivity gaps for different intervals as of June 30, 2001: Immediate 2 days To 7 months to 1 Year 4 years (Dollars in thousands) or one day 6 months 12 months to 3 years to 5 years --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets: Cash and due from banks $ - $ 723 $ - $ - $ - Federal Funds Sold 55,058 - - - - Investment securities 61,932 271,269 215,186 589,147 306,564 Loans 1,879,475 784,847 258,090 558,063 264,444 Loan losses/unearned fees - - - - - Other assets - 562 562 2,249 2,249 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets $ 1,996,465 $ 1,057,401 $ 473,838 $ 1,149,459 $ 573,257 ======================================================================================== Liabilities and Equity: Deposits $ 2,051,652 $ 1,132,279 $ 255,162 $ 26,680 $ 3,402 Other borrowings - 920,896 296,200 103,000 24,830 Trust preferred securities - - - - - Other liabilities - - - - - Shareholders' equity - - - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities and equity $ 2,051,652 $ 2,053,175 $ 551,362 $ 129,680 $ 28,232 ======================================================================================== Gap $ (55,187) $ (995,774) $ (77,524) $ 1,019,779 $ 545,025 Cumulative Gap $ (55,187) $ (1,050,961) $ (1,128,485) $ (108,706) $ 436,319 Cumulative Gap/total assets -0.89% -16.88% -18.13% -1.75% 7.01% Total More than Total rate non-rate (Dollars in thousands) 5 years sensitive sensitive Total ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets: Cash and due from banks $ - $ 723 $ 200,875 $ 201,598 Federal Funds Sold - 55,058 - 55,058 Investment securities 532,322 1,976,420 6,019 1,982,439 Loans 68,657 3,813,576 (4) 3,813,572 Loan losses/unearned fees - - (88,190) (88,190) Other assets 16,167 21,789 238,711 260,500 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets $ 617,146 $ 5,867,566 $ 357,411 $ 6,224,977 ====================================================================== Liabilities and Equity: Deposits $ 1,072 $ 3,470,247 $ 846,505 $ 4,316,752 Other borrowings - 1,344,926 - 1,344,926 Trust preferred securities 99,500 99,500 - 99,500 Other liabilities - - 92,157 92,157 Shareholders' equity - - 371,642 371,642 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities and equity $ 100,572 $ 4,914,673 $ 1,310,304 $ 6,224,977 ====================================================================== Gap $ 516,574 $ 952,893 $ (952,893) $ - Cumulative Gap $ 952,893 $ 952,893 $ - $ - Cumulative Gap/total assets 15.31% 15.31% 0.00% 0.00% The foregoing table indicates that we had a one year negative gap of $(1.1) billion, or (18.13)% of total assets, at June 30, 2001. In theory, this would indicate that at June 30, 2001, $1.1 billion more in liabilities than assets would reprice if there were a change in interest rates over the next 365 days. Thus, if interest rates were to decline, the gap would indicate a resulting increase in net interest margin. However, changes in the mix of earning assets or supporting liabilities can either increase or decrease the net interest margin without affecting interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the interest rate spread between an asset and our supporting liability can vary significantly while the timing of repricing of both the asset and our supporting liability can remain the same, thus impacting net interest income. This characteristic is referred to as a basis risk and, generally, relates to the repricing characteristics of short-term funding sources such as certificates of deposit. 40 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Gap analysis has certain limitations. Measuring the volume of repricing or maturing assets and liabilities does not always measure the full impact on the portfolio value of equity or net interest income. Gap analysis does not account for rate caps on products; dynamic changes such as increasing prepay speeds as interest rates decrease, basis risk, or the benefit of non-rate funding sources. The relation between product rate repricing and market rate changes (basis risk) is not the same for all products. The majority of our loan portfolio reprices quickly and completely following changes in market rates, while non-term deposit rates in general move more slowly and usually incorporate only a fraction of the change in rates. Products categorized as non-rate sensitive, such as our noninterest-bearing demand deposits, in the Gap analysis behave like long term fixed rate funding sources. Both of these factors tend to make our actual behavior more assets sensitive than is indicated in the Gap analysis. In fact, we experience higher net interest income when rates rise, opposite what is indicated by the Gap analysis. In fact, during the recent period of declines in interest rates, our net interest earning assets has declined. See "Results of Operations Net Interest Income - The Quarter Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to March 31, 2001". Therefore, management uses income simulation, net interest income rate shocks and market value of portfolio equity as our primary interest rate risk management tools. Recent Accounting Developments Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 140"). SFAS No. 140 replaces SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 125"), issued in June 1996. It revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 140 is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Disclosures about securitizations and collateral accepted need not be reported for periods ending on or before December 15, 2000, for which financial statements are presented for comparative purposes. SFAS No. 140 is to be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. Implementation of SFAS No. 140 is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. Business Combinations --------------------- On July 20, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141"). The standard concludes that all business combinations within the scope of the statement will be accounted for using the purchase method. Previously, the pooling-of-interests method was required whenever certain criteria were met. Because those criteria did not distinguish economically dissimilar transactions, similar business combinations were accounted for using different methods that produced dramatically different financial statement results. SFAS No. 141 requires separate recognition of intangible assets apart from goodwill if they meet one of two criteria, the contractual-legal criterion or the separability criterion. SFAS No. 141 also requires the disclosure of the primary reasons for a business combination and the allocation of the purchase price paid to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major balance sheet caption. 41 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The provisions of SFAS No. 141 apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. Our definitive merger agreement with SJNB Financial Corp. was signed on June 25, 2001, before the required implementation date, and therefore SFAS No. 141 will require us to account for that merger as a pooling of interests. As a portion of our business strategy is to pursue acquisition opportunities so as to expand our market presence and maintain growth levels, the change in accounting could have a negative impact on our ability to realize those business strategies. As SFAS No. 141 has just been released, the impact of these changes has yet to be fully determined. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ------------------------------------ On July 20, 2001 the FASB also issued SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). It addressed how intangible assets that are acquired individually or within a group of assets (but not those acquired in business combination) should be accounted for in the financial statements upon their acquisition. SFAS No.142 adopts a more aggregate view of goodwill and bases the accounting on the units of the combined entity into which an acquired entity is aggregated. SFAS No. 142 also prescribes that goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but rather tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have definite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives, but no longer with the constraint of the 40 year ceiling. SFAS No. 142 provides specific guidance for the testing of goodwill for impairment which may require re- measurement of the fair value of the reporting unit. Additional ongoing financial statement disclosures are also required. The provisions of the statement are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The statement is required to be applied at the beginning of the fiscal year and applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in the financials at that date. Impairment losses are to be reported as resulting from a change in accounting principle. As SFAS No. 142 has just been released, the impact of these changes has yet to be fully determined. Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues ----------------------------------------------------------------- A Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102 "Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues" ("SAB No. 102") was released on July 10, 2001. It expresses certain of the staff's views on the development, documentation, and application of a systematic methodology as required by Financial Reporting Release No. 28, Accounting for Loan Losses by Registrants Engaged in Lending Activities, for determining allowances for loan and lease losses in accordance with general accept accounting principals. In particular, SAB No. 102 focuses on the documentation the staff normally would expect registrants to prepare and maintain in support of their allowances for loan losses. We have a systematic methodology for determining an appropriate allowance for loan losses, consistently followed and supported by written documentation and policies and procedures. None-the-less, in light of SAB No. 102, our methodology and documentation is currently in the process of review. However, any resulting changes are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. 42 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings -- Not applicable ITEM 2.
