PART I
Forward-Looking Statements: Certain matters discussed or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K including, but not limited to, matters described in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Forward-looking statements are certain written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by FNB Bancorp or its representatives in this document or other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases, conferences, or otherwise that are not historical facts, or are preceded by, followed by or that include words such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "seek," and "intend," and words of similar import are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Changes to such risks and uncertainties, which could impact future financial performance, include, among others, (1) competitive pressures in the banking industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment; (3) general economic conditions, nationally, regionally and in operating market areas; (4) changes in the regulatory environment; (5) changes in business conditions and inflation; (6) changes in securities markets; (7) data processing problems; (8) the California power crisis; and (9) the U.S. "war on terrorism." Therefore, the information set forth therein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of FNB Bancorp and its subsidiary, First National Bank of Northern California.
All forward-looking statements of FNB Bancorp are qualified by and should be read in conjunction with such risk disclosure. FNB Bancorp undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
FNB Bancorp (sometimes referred to herein as the "Company") is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on February 28, 2001. As a bank holding company, the Company is authorized to engage in the activities permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and regulations thereunder. Its principal office is located at 975 El Camino Real, South San Francisco, California 94080, and its telephone number is (650) 588-6800.
The Company owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of First National Bank of Northern California, a national banking association ("First National Bank" or the "Bank"). The Company has no other subsidiary. The Company was formed at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Bank in order to reorganize the Bank into a holding company structure, with the approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 215a-2 and 12 CFR 7.2000. The Bank and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 1, 2001 (the "Plan of Reorganization") for this purpose, and the shareholders of the Bank approved the Plan of Reorganization at a Special Meeting of the Shareholders of the Bank held on February 27, 2002. The Plan of Reorganization was consummated on March 15, 2002. Each outstanding share of the common stock, par value $1.25 per share, of the Bank (other than any shares as to which dissenters' rights of appraisal have been properly exercised) was converted into one share of the common stock of the Company, and the former holders of Bank common stock became the holders of all of the Company common stock. As a subsidiary of the Company, the Bank continues its business and operations as a national banking association, with the same Board of Directors, officers and employees as existed prior to the reorganization. Prior to consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, FNB Bancorp had no significant assets or liabilities and its activities were limited to the process of becoming a holding company for First National Bank. Consequently, upon consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements of FNB Bancorp and First National Bank did not differ in any significant respect from the historical financial statements of First National Bank. The reorganization was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, using the historical costs of First National Bank. Accordingly, the historical financial position and results of operations of First National Bank became those of FNB Bancorp. Prior to the reorganization, the common stock of the Bank was quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "FNBD.OB." Commencing on March 18, 2002, the common stock of the Company has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "FNBG.OB".
The Bank was organized in 1963 as "First National Bank of Daly City." In 1995, the shareholders approved a change in the name to "First National Bank of Northern California." The administrative headquarters of the Bank is located at 975 El Camino Real, South San Francisco, California. The Bank is locally owned and presently operates twelve full service banking offices within its primary service area of San Mateo County, in the cities of Colma, Daly City, South San Francisco, Milbrae, Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, San Mateo, Redwood City and Pescadero. The Bank also serves the City and County of San Francisco through its Flower Mart Branch in San Francisco. The Bank's primary business is servicing the business or commercial banking needs of individuals and small to mid-sized businesses within San Mateo and San Francisco Counties.
The Bank is chartered under the laws of the United States and is governed by the National Bank Act, and is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures the deposits of the Bank up to the applicable legal limits. The Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and regular examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency govern many aspects of the Bank's business and activities, including investments, loans, borrowings, branching, mergers and acquisitions, reporting and numerous other areas. The Bank is also subject to applicable provisions of California law to the extent those provisions are not in conflict with or preempted by federal banking law. See "Supervision and Regulation" below.
First National Bank offers a broad range of services to individuals and businesses in its primary service area with an emphasis upon efficiency and personalized attention. First National Bank provides a full line of business financial products with specialized services such as courier, appointment banking, and business internet banking. First National Bank offers personal and business checking and savings accounts, including individual interest-bearing negotiable orders of withdrawal ("NOW"), money market accounts and/or accounts combining checking and savings accounts with automatic transfer capabilities, IRA accounts, time certificates of deposit and direct deposit of social security, pension and payroll checks and computer cash management with access through the internet. First National Bank also makes available commercial, standby letters of credit, construction, accounts receivable, inventory, automobile, home improvement, residential real estate, commercial real estate, single family mortgage, Small Business Administration, office equipment, leasehold improvement and installment loans as well as overdraft protection lines of credit. In addition, First National Bank sells travelers checks and cashiers checks, offers automated teller machine (ATM) services tied in with major statewide and national networks and offers other customary commercial banking services.
Most of First National Bank's deposits are obtained from commercial businesses, professionals and individuals. As of December 31, 2001, First National Bank had a total of 24,645 accounts. On occasion, First National Bank has obtained deposits through deposit brokers for which First National Bank pays a broker fee. As of December 31, 2001, First National Bank had no such deposits. There is no concentration of deposits or any customer with 5% or more of First National Bank's deposits.
At December 31, 2001, First National Bank had total assets of $397,000,000, total net loans of $288,000,000, deposits of $344,000,000 and shareholders' equity of $47,000,000. First National Bank competes with approximately 28 other banking or savings institutions in its service areas. First National Bank's market share of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured deposits in the service area of San Mateo County is approximately 2.7% (based upon the most recent information made available by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation through June 30, 2000). See "Competitive Data" below.
Employees
At December 31, 2001, First National Bank employed 189 persons on a full-time basis. First National Bank believes its employee relations are good. First National Bank is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
FNB Bancorp. The common stock of FNB Bancorp is subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the qualification requirements of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended. FNB Bancorp has registered its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which include, but are not limited to, annual, quarterly and other current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
FNB Bancorp is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Bank Holding Company Act"), and is registered as such with, and subject to the supervision of, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board of Governors"). FNB Bancorp is required to obtain the approval of the Board of Governors before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of the voting shares of any bank if, after giving effect to such acquisition of shares, FNB Bancorp would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. The Bank Holding Company Act prohibits FNB Bancorp from acquiring any voting shares of, or interest in, all or substantially all of the assets of, a bank located outside the State of California unless such an acquisition is specifically authorized by the laws of the state in which such bank is located. Any such interstate acquisition is also subject to the provisions of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994.
FNB Bancorp, and any subsidiaries, which it may acquire or organize, are deemed to be "affiliates" of First National Bank within the meaning of that term as defined in the Federal Reserve Act. This means, for example, that there are limitations (a) on loans by First National Bank to affiliates, and (b) on investments by First National Bank in affiliates' stock as collateral for loans to any borrower. FNB Bancorp and First National Bank are also subject to certain restrictions with respect to engaging in the underwriting, public sale and distribution of securities.
In addition, regulations of the Board of Governors under the Federal Reserve Act require that reserves be maintained by First National Bank in conjunction with any liability of FNB Bancorp under any obligation (promissory note, acknowledgment of advance, banker's acceptance or similar obligation) with a weighted average maturity of less than seven (7) years to the extent that the proceeds of such obligations are used for the purpose of supplying funds to First National Bank for use in its banking business, or to maintain the availability of such funds.
First National Bank As a national banking association licensed under the national banking laws of the United States, First National Bank is regularly examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and is subject to the supervision of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, The Board of Governors, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The supervision and regulation includes comprehensive reviews of all major aspects of First National Bank's business and condition, including its capital ratios, allowance for possible loan losses and other factors. However, no inference should be drawn that such authorities have approved any such factors. First National Bank is required to file reports with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. First National Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the applicable legal limits.
Capital Standards
The Board of Governors, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for evaluating the capital adequacy of bank holding companies and banks. The guidelines are designed to make capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, to take into account off-balance sheet exposures and to aid in making the definition of bank capital uniform internationally. Under the guidelines, First National Bank is required to maintain (and FNB Bancorp and First National Bank will be required to maintain) capital equal to at least 8.0% of its assets and commitments to extend
credit, weighted by risk, of which at least 4.0% must consist primarily of common equity (including retained earnings) and the remainder may consist of subordinated debt, cumulative preferred stock, or a limited amount of loan loss reserves.
Assets, commitments to extend credit, and off-balance sheet items are categorized according to risk and certain assets considered to present less risk than others permit maintenance of capital at less than the 8% ratio. For example, most home mortgage loans are placed in a 50% risk category and therefore require maintenance of capital equal to 4% of those loans, while commercial loans are placed in a 100% risk category and therefore require maintenance of capital equal to 8% of those loans.
Under the risk-based capital guidelines, assets reported on an institution's balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to risk categories, each of which has an assigned risk weight. Capital ratios are calculated by dividing the institution's qualifying capital by its period-end risk-weighted assets. The guidelines establish two categories of qualifying capital: Tier 1 capital (defined to include common shareholders' equity and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock) and Tier 2 capital which includes, among other items, limited life (and in case of banks, cumulative) preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and a limited amount of reserve for credit losses. Tier 2 capital may also include up to 45% of the pretax net unrealized gains on certain available-for-sale equity securities having readily determinable fair values (i.e. the excess, if any, of fair market value over the book value or historical cost of the investment security). The federal regulatory agencies reserve the right to exclude all or a portion of the unrealized gains upon a determination that the equity securities are not prudently valued. Unrealized gains and losses on other types of assets, such as bank premises and available-for-sale debt securities, are not included in Tier 2 capital, but may be taken into account in the evaluation of overall capital adequacy and net unrealized losses on available-for-sale equity securities will continue to be deducted from Tier 1 capital as a cushion against risk. Each institution is required to maintain a minimum risk-based capital ratio (including Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) of 8%, of which at least half must be Tier 1 capital.
A leverage capital standard was adopted as a supplement to the risk-weighted capital guidelines. Under the leverage capital standard, an institution is required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to the sum of its quarterly average total assets and quarterly average reserve for loan losses, less intangibles not included in Tier 1 capital. Period-end assets may be used in place of quarterly average total assets on a case-by-case basis. The Board of Governors and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have also adopted a minimum leverage ratio for bank holding companies as a supplement to the risk-weighted capital guidelines. The leverage ratio establishes a minimum Tier 1 ratio of 3% (Tier 1 capital to total assets) for the highest rated bank holding companies or those that have implemented the risk-based capital market risk measure. All other bank holding companies must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% with higher leverage capital ratios required for bank holding companies that have significant financial and/or operational weakness, a high risk profile, or are undergoing or anticipating rapid growth.
At December 31, 2001, First National Bank was in compliance with the risk-weighted capital and leverage ratios. Upon consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, FNB Bancorp and First National Bank were, and remain, in compliance with the risk-weighted capital and leverage ratios. See "Capital" under Item 7 below.
Prompt Corrective Action
The Board of Governors, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have adopted regulations implementing a system of prompt corrective action pursuant to Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Section 131 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). The regulations establish five capital categories with the following characteristics: (1) "Well capitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive; (2) "Adequately capitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater and a leverage ratio of 4% or greater, and the institution does not meet the definition of a "well capitalized" institution; (3) "Undercapitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio less than 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4%, or a leverage ratio of less than 4%; (4) "Significantly undercapitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3%; (5) "Critically undercapitalized" - consisting of an institution with a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.
The regulations established procedures for classification of financial institutions within the capital categories, filing and reviewing capital restoration plans required under the regulations and procedures for issuance of directives by the appropriate regulatory agency, among other matters. The regulations impose restrictions upon all institutions to refrain from certain actions which would cause an institution to be classified within any one of the three "undercapitalized" categories, such as declaration of dividends or other capital distributions or payment of management fees, if following the distribution or payment the institution would be classified within one of the "undercapitalized" categories. In addition, institutions, which are classified in one of the three "undercapitalized" categories are subject to certain mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions. Mandatory supervisory actions include (1) increased monitoring and review by the appropriate federal banking agency; (2) implementation of a capital restoration plan; (3) total asset growth restrictions; and (4) limitation upon acquisitions, branch expansion, and new business activities without prior approval of the appropriate federal banking agency. Discretionary supervisory actions may include (1) requirements to augment capital; (2) restrictions upon affiliate transactions; (3) restrictions upon deposit gathering activities and interest rates paid; (4) replacement of senior executive officers and directors; (5) restrictions upon activities of the institution and its affiliates; (6) requiring divestiture or sale of the institution; and (7) any other supervisory action that the appropriate federal banking agency determines is necessary to further the purposes of the regulations. Further, the federal banking agencies may not accept a capital restoration plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital. In addition, for a capital restoration plan to be acceptable, the depository institution's parent holding company must guarantee that the institution will comply with such capital restoration plan. The aggregate liability of the parent holding company under the guaranty is limited to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5 percent of the depository institution's total assets at the time it became undercapitalized, and (ii) the amount that is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards applicable with respect to such institution as of the time it fails to comply with the plan. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it were "significantly undercapitalized." FDICIA also restricts the solicitation and acceptance of and interest rates payable on brokered deposits by insured depository institutions that are not "well capitalized." An "undercapitalized" institution is not allowed to solicit deposits by offering rates of interest that are significantly higher than the prevailing rates of interest on insured deposits in the particular institution's normal market areas or in the market areas in which such deposits would otherwise be accepted.
Any financial institution which is classified as "critically
undercapitalized" must be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90
days of such determination unless it is also determined that some other course
of action would better serve the purposes of the regulations. Critically
undercapitalized institutions are also prohibited from making (but not accruing)
any payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt without prior
regulatory approval and regulators must prohibit a critically undercapitalized
institution from taking certain other actions without prior approval, including
(1) entering into any material transaction other than in the usual course of
business, including investment expansion, acquisition, sale of assets or other
similar actions; (2) extending credit for any highly leveraged transaction; (3)
amending articles or bylaws unless required to do so to comply with any law,
regulation or order; (4) making any material change in accounting methods; (5)
engaging in certain affiliate transactions; (6) paying excessive compensation or
bonuses; and (7) paying interest on new or renewed liabilities at rates which
would increase the weighted average costs of funds beyond prevailing rates in
the institution's normal market areas.
Additional Regulations
Under the FDICIA, the federal financial institution agencies have adopted regulations which require institutions to establish and maintain comprehensive written real estate policies which address certain lending considerations, including loan-to-value limits, loan administrative policies, portfolio diversification standards, and documentation, approval and reporting requirements. The FDICIA further generally prohibits an insured bank from engaging as a principal in any activity that is impermissible for a national bank, absent Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation determination that the activity would not pose a significant risk to the Bank Insurance Fund, and that such bank is, and will continue to be, within applicable capital standards.
The Federal Financial Institution Examination Counsel ("FFIEC") on December 13, 1996, approved an updated Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System ("UFIRS"). In addition to the five components traditionally included in the so-called "CAMEL" rating system which has been used by bank examiners for a number of years to classify and evaluate the soundness of financial institutions (including capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings and liquidity), UFIRS includes for all bank regulatory examinations conducted on or after January 1, 1997, a new rating for a sixth category identified as sensitivity to market risk. Ratings in this category are intended to reflect the degree to which changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or equity prices may adversely affect an institution's earnings and capital. The revised rating system is identified as the "CAMELS" system.
The federal financial institution agencies have established bases for analysis and standards for assessing a financial institution's capital adequacy in conjunction with the risk-based capital guidelines including analysis of interest rate risk, concentrations of credit risk, risk posed by non-traditional activities, and factors affecting overall safety and soundness. The safety and soundness standards for insured financial institutions include analysis of (1) internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems; (2) loan documentation; (3) credit underwriting; (4) interest rate exposure; (5) asset growth; (6) compensation, fees and benefits; and (7) excessive compensation for executive officers, directors or principal shareholders which could lead to material financial loss. If an agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard, the agency may require the financial institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If the agency requires submission of a compliance plan and the institution fails to timely submit an acceptable plan or to implement an accepted plan, the agency must require the institution to correct the deficiency. The agencies may elect to initiate enforcement action in certain cases rather than rely on an existing plan particularly where failure to meet one or more of the standards could threaten the safe and sound operation of the institution.
Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") regulations evaluate banks' lending to low and moderate income individuals and businesses across a four-point scale from "outstanding" to "substantial noncompliance," and are a factor in regulatory review of applications to merge, establish new branches or form bank holding companies. In addition, any bank rated in "substantial noncompliance" with the CRA regulations may be subject to enforcement proceedings. First National Bank has a current rating of "Satisfactory" for CRA compliance.
Limitations on Dividends
The Company's ability to pay cash dividends is subject to restrictions set forth in the California General Corporation Law. Funds for payment of any cash dividends by the Company would be obtained from its investments as well as dividends and/or management fees from First National Bank. First National Bank's ability to pay cash dividends is subject to restrictions imposed under the National Bank Act and regulations promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Prior to the reorganization, First National Bank has paid cash dividends in each of the last 60 consecutive quarters. Also, First National Bank has paid a stock dividend annually for the last 34 years (including the 5% stock dividend paid on December 14, 2001).
FNB Bancorp. FNB Bancorp has not paid dividends and any future dividends will be determined after consideration of FNB Bancorp's earnings, financial condition, future capital funds, regulatory requirements and other factors as the board of directors may deem relevant. It is the intention of FNB Bancorp to pay cash dividends, subject to legal restrictions on the payment of cash dividends and depending upon the level of earnings, management's assessment of future capital needs and other factors to be considered by the FNB Bancorp board of directors.
Holders of FNB Bancorp common stock will be entitled to receive dividends following the reorganization as and when declared by the board of directors of FNB Bancorp out of funds legally available therefor under the laws of the State of California. The California General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may make a distribution to its shareholders if the corporation's retained earnings equal at least the amount of the proposed distribution. The California General Corporation Law further provides that, in the event sufficient retained earnings are not available for the proposed distribution, a corporation may nevertheless make a distribution to its shareholders if, after giving effect to the distribution, it meets two conditions, which generally stated are as follows: (i) the corporation's assets must equal at least 125% of its liabilities; and (ii) the corporation's current assets must equal at least its current liabilities or, if the average of the corporation's earnings before taxes on income and before interest expense for the two preceding fiscal years
was less than the average of the corporation's interest expense for those fiscal years, then the corporation's current assets must equal at least 125% of its current liabilities.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System generally prohibits a bank holding company from declaring or paying a cash dividend which would impose undue pressure on the capital of subsidiary banks or would be funded only through borrowing or other arrangements that might adversely affect a bank holding company's financial position. The Federal Reserve Board policy is that a bank holding company should not continue its existing rate of cash dividends on its common stock unless its net income is sufficient to fully fund each dividend and its prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with its capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.
First National Bank First National Bank's shareholder is entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by its board of directors, out of funds legally available therefor, subject to the restrictions set forth in the National Bank Act.
The payment of cash dividends by First National Bank may be subject to the approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as well as restrictions established by federal banking law and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared by First National Bank's board of directors in any calendar year will exceed First National Bank's net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or to a fund for the retirement of preferred stock. Additionally, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and/or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, might, under some circumstances, place restrictions on the ability of a bank to pay dividends based upon peer group averages and the performance and maturity of that bank.
COMPETITION
Competitive Data
Larger banks may have a competitive advantage because of higher lending limits and major advertising and marketing campaigns. They also perform services, such as trust services, international banking, discount brokerage and insurance services, which First National Bank is not authorized nor prepared to offer currently. First National Bank has made arrangements with its correspondent banks and with others to provide some of these services for its customers. For borrowers requiring loans in excess of First National Bank's legal lending limits, First National Bank has offered, and intends to offer in the future, such loans on a participating basis with its correspondent banks and with other independent banks, retaining the portion of such loans which is within its lending limits. As of December 31, 2001, First National Bank's aggregate legal lending limits to a single borrower and such borrower's related parties were $7,510,000 on an unsecured basis and $12,516,000 on a fully secured basis, based on regulatory capital of $50,006,000.
First National Bank's business is concentrated in its service area, which primarily encompasses San Mateo and San Francisco Counties. The economy of First National Bank's service area is dependent upon government, manufacturing, tourism, retail sales, population growth and smaller service oriented businesses.
Based upon the December 2000 Deposit and Market Share Report prepared by California Banksite Corporation, there were 156 commercial and savings banking offices in San Mateo County with a total of $14,904,430,000 in deposits at December 31, 2000. First National Bank had a total of 12 offices with total deposits of $329,600,000 at the same date, or 2% of the San Mateo County totals. At December 31, 1999, there were 155 commercial and savings banking offices in San Mateo County with total deposits of $12,092,940,000, while First National Bank had $276,220,000, or 2% of the San Mateo County totals.
In 1996, pursuant to Congressional mandate, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation reduced bank deposit insurance assessment rates to a range from $0 to $0.27 per $100 of deposits, dependent upon a bank's risk. Based upon the risk-based assessment rate schedule, First National Bank's current capital ratios and levels of deposits, First National Bank anticipates no change in the assessment rate applicable to it during 2002 from that in 2001.
General Competitive Factors
In order to compete with the major financial institutions in their primary service areas, community banks such as First National Bank use to the fullest extent possible the flexibility, which is accorded by their independent status. This includes an emphasis on specialized services, local promotional activity, and personal contacts by their respective officers, directors and employees. They also seek to provide special services and programs for individuals in their primary service area who are employed in the agricultural, professional and business fields, such as loans for equipment, furniture, tools of the trade or expansion of practices or businesses. In the event there are customers whose loan demands exceed their respective lending limits, they seek to arrange for such loans on a participation basis with other financial institutions. They also assist those customers requiring services not offered by either bank to obtain such services from correspondent banks.
Banking is a business that depends on interest rate differentials. In general, the difference between the interest rate paid by a bank to obtain their deposits and other borrowings and the interest rate received by a bank on loans extended to customers and on securities held in a bank's portfolio comprise the major portion of a bank's earnings.
Commercial banks compete with savings and loan associations, credit unions, other financial institutions and other entities for funds. For instance, yields on corporate and government debt securities and other commercial paper affect the ability of commercial banks to attract and hold deposits. Commercial banks also compete for loans with savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, mortgage companies and other lending institutions.
The interest rate differentials of a bank, and therefore their earnings, are affected not only by general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, but also by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States as set by statutes and as implemented by federal agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board can and does implement national monetary policy, such as seeking to curb inflation and combat recession, by its open market operations in United States government securities, adjustments in the amount of interest free reserves that banks and other financial institutions are required to maintain, and adjustments to the discount rates applicable to borrowing by banks from the Federal Reserve Board. These activities influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The nature and timing of any future changes in monetary policies and their impact on First National Bank are not predictable.
Legislative and Regulatory Impact
Since 1996, California law implementing certain provisions of prior federal law has (1) permitted interstate merger transactions; (2) prohibited interstate branching through the acquisition of a branch business unit located in California without acquisition of the whole business unit of the California bank; and (3) prohibited interstate branching through de novo establishment of California branch offices. Initial entry into California by an out-of-state institution must be accomplished by acquisition of or merger with an existing whole bank, which has been in existence for at least five years.
The federal financial institution agencies, especially the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors, have taken steps to increase the types of activities in which national banks and bank holding companies can engage, and to make it easier to engage in such activities. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has issued regulations permitting national banks to engage in a wider range of activities through subsidiaries. "Eligible institutions" (those national banks that are well capitalized, have a high overall rating and a satisfactory CRA rating, and are not subject to an enforcement order) may engage in activities related to banking through operating subsidiaries subject to an expedited application process. In addition, a national bank may apply to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to engage in an activity through a subsidiary in which First National Bank itself may not engage.
On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "Act"), which is potentially the most significant banking legislation in many years. The Act eliminates most of the remaining depression-era "firewalls" between banks, securities firms and insurance companies which was established by The Banking Act of 1933, also known as the Glass-Steagall Act ("Glass-Steagall). Glass-Steagall sought to insulate banks as depository institutions from the perceived risks of securities dealing and underwriting, and related activities. The Act repeals Section 20 of
Glass-Steagall, which prohibited banks from affiliating with securities firms. Bank holding companies that can qualify as "financial holding companies" can now, among other matters, acquire securities firms or create them as subsidiaries, and securities firms can now acquire banks or start banking activities through a financial holding company. The Act includes provisions which permit national banks to conduct financial activities through a subsidiary that are permissible for a national bank to engage in directly, as well as certain activities authorized by statute, or that are financial in nature or incidental to financial activities to the same extent as permitted to a "financial holding company" or its affiliates. This liberalization of United States banking and financial services regulation applies both to domestic institutions and foreign institutions conducting business in the United States. Consequently, the common ownership of banks, securities firms and insurance firms is now possible, as is the conduct of commercial banking, merchant banking, investment management, securities underwriting and insurance within a single financial institution using a "financial holding company" structure authorized by the Act.
Prior to the Act, significant restrictions existed on the affiliation of banks with securities firms and on the direct conduct by banks of securities dealing and underwriting and related securities activities. Banks were also (with minor exceptions) prohibited from engaging in insurance activities or affiliating with insurers. The Act removes these restrictions and substantially eliminates the prohibitions under the Bank Holding Company Act on affiliations between banks and insurance companies. Bank holding companies which qualify as financial holding companies can now, among other matters, insure, guarantee, or indemnify against loss, harm, damage, illness, disability, or death; issue annuities; and act as a principal, agent, or broker regarding such insurance services.
In order for a commercial bank to affiliate with a securities firm or an insurance company pursuant to the Act, its bank holding company must qualify as a financial holding company. A bank holding company will qualify if (i) its banking subsidiaries are "well capitalized" and "well managed" and (ii) it files with the Board of Governors a certification to such effect and a declaration that it elects to become a financial holding company. The amendment of the Bank Holding Company Act now permits financial holding companies to engage in activities, and acquire companies engaged in activities, that are financial in nature or incidental to such financial activities. Financial holding companies are also permitted to engage in activities that are complementary to financial activities if the Board of Governors determines that the activity does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system in general. These standards expand upon the list of activities "closely related to banking" which have to date defined the permissible activities of bank holding companies under the Bank Holding Company Act.
One further effect of the Act is to require that federal financial institution and securities regulatory agencies prescribe regulations to implement the policy that financial institutions must respect the privacy of their customers and protect the security and confidentiality of customers' non-public personal information. These regulations require, in general, that financial institutions (1) may not disclose non-public personal information of customers to non-affiliated third parties without notice to their customers, who must have an opportunity to direct that such information not be disclosed; (2) may not disclose customer account numbers except to consumer reporting agencies; and (3) must give prior disclosure of their privacy policies before establishing new customer relationships.
Neither FNB Bancorp or First National Bank have determined whether or when they may seek to acquire and exercise new powers or activities under the Act, and the extent to which competition will change among financial institutions affected by the Act has not yet become clear.
The Patriot Act
On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the USA Patriot Act (the "Patriot Act"), which includes provisions pertaining to domestic security, surveillance procedures, border protection, and terrorism laws to be administered by the Secretary of the Treasury. Title III of the Patriot Act entitled, "International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001" includes amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act which expand the responsibilities of financial institutions in regard to anti-money laundering activities with particular emphasis upon international money laundering and terrorism financing activities through designated correspondent and private banking accounts.
Effective December 25, 2001, Section 313(a) of the Patriot Act prohibits any insured financial institution such as the Bank, from providing correspondent accounts to foreign banks which do not have a physical presence in any country (designated as "shell banks"), subject to certain exceptions for regulated affiliates of foreign banks. Section 313(a) also requires financial
institutions to take reasonable steps to ensure that foreign bank correspondent accounts are not being used to indirectly provide banking services to foreign shell banks, and Section 319(b) requires financial institutions to maintain records of the owners and agent for service of process of any such foreign banks with whom correspondent accounts have been established.
Effective July 23, 2002, Section 312 of the Patriot Act creates a requirement for special due diligence for correspondent accounts and private banking accounts. Under Section 312, each financial institution that establishes, maintains, administers, or manages a private banking account or a correspondent account in the United States for a non-United States person, including a foreign individual visiting the United States, or a representative of a non-United States person shall establish appropriate, specific, and, where necessary, enhanced, due diligence policies, procedures, and controls that are reasonably designed to detect and record instances of money laundering through those accounts.
The Company and the Bank are not currently aware of any account relationships between the Bank and any foreign bank or other person or entity as described above under Sections 313(a) or 312 of the Patriot Act. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 have realigned national security priorities of the United States and it is reasonable to anticipate that the United States Congress may enact additional legislation in the future to combat terrorism including modifications to existing laws such as the Patriot Act to expand powers as deemed necessary. The effects which the Patriot Act and any additional legislation enacted by Congress may have upon financial institutions is uncertain; however, such legislation would likely increase compliance costs and thereby potentially have an adverse effect upon the Company's results of operations.
Future Legislation and Regulations
Certain legislative and regulatory proposals that could affect FNB Bancorp, First National Bank, and the banking business in general are periodically introduced before the United States Congress, the California State Legislature and Federal and state government agencies. It is not known to what extent, if any, legislative proposals will be enacted and what effect such legislation would have on the structure, regulation and competitive relationships of financial institutions. It is likely, however, that such legislation could subject FNB Bancorp and First National Bank to increased regulation, disclosure and reporting requirements, competition, and costs of doing business.
In addition to legislative changes, the various Federal and state financial institution regulatory agencies frequently propose rules and regulations to implement and enforce already existing legislation. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such rules or regulations will be enacted or the effect that such regulations may have on FNB Bancorp and First National Bank

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on February 28, 2001, at the direction of the Board of Directors of First National Bank, for the purpose of becoming the holding company of the Bank. Prior to consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, there were 100 shares of FNB Bancorp common stock issued and outstanding, all of which were paid for, and held by, Michael R. Wyman, Chairman of the Board of Directors of First National Bank. As the sole shareholder of FNB Bancorp, Mr. Wyman approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 1, 2001, between the Company and the Bank. To date, there have been no other meetings of the shareholders of FNB Bancorp. On February 27, 2002, at a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Bank, the shareholders of First National Bank approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. A total of 1,734,916 shares were voted "For" the Plan of Reorganization; 24,007 shares were voted "Against" the Plan of Reorganization; and 10,842 shares abstained from voting. Approval of the Plan of Reorganization required the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of all shares of Bank common stock outstanding on the record date, January 15, 2002. Effective as of March 15, 2002, each share of Bank common stock was exchanged for one share of FNB Bancorp common stock (subject to any dissenting shareholder rights, yet to be asserted). Upon consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, FNB Bancorp repurchased the 100 shares of Company common stock held by Michael R. Wyman at the same price paid by Mr. Wyman for those shares. The 2002 annual meeting (the first annual meeting) of the shareholders of FNB Bancorp is currently scheduled to be held on May 15, 2002.

Note: Certain matters discussed or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K including, but not limited to matters described in this section are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles general accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to its loans and allowance for loan losses. The Company bases its estimates on current market conditions, historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policy requires significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is periodically evaluated for adequacy by management. Factors considered include the Company's loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, current economic conditions, known adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, regulatory policies, and the estimated value of underlying collateral. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the above factors along with prevailing and anticipated economic conditions that may impact borrowers' ability to repay loans. Determination of the allowance is in part objective and in part a subjective judgment by management given the information it currently has in its possession. Adverse changes in any of these factors or the discovery of new adverse information could result in higher charge-offs and loan loss provisions.
Earnings Analysis
Net earnings in 2001 were $5,237,000, a 26.5% decrease from 2000 earnings of $7,128,000. Earnings for the year 2000 increased $1,911,000 or 36.6% over earnings of $5,217,000 in 1999. A tax refund related primarily to the recapture of certain tax credits earned in prior years, but received in 2001, was reclassified to 2000 as a tax receivable. The year 2000 also included a non-recurring pre-tax gain on sale of bank premises of $701,000. Excluding these two non-recurring items, and related tax effect, the Bank's earnings for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $6,289,000. In this case, 2001 net earnings declined 16.7% from 2000, which was caused by a reduction in interest rate spreads, in which interest earned on average loans dropped by 125 basis points, while interest on all interest-bearing liabilities dropped by only 50 basis points.
Basic earnings per share were $2.37 in 2001; $3.07 ($2.71 excluding non-recurring) in 2000, and $2.25 in 1999. Diluted earnings per share were $2.36 in 2001; $3.07 ($2.71 excluding non-recurring) in 2000; and $2.25 in 1999.
Operating results in 2001 reflected net interest income of $22,909,000, an increase of $239,000 or 1.1% over 2000. Interest income was $30,844,000 in 2001, down $18,000 from 2000. Average interest earning assets in 2001 were $361,617,000, an increase of $36,378,000 or 11.2% over 2000, but their yield declined 1.0% for the same period. The principal earning assets were loans, which grew by $33,282,000 or 14.0% in 2001 versus 2000, but the yield declined 125 basis points, primarily due to a succession of prime rate cuts caused by the Federal Reserve. Net interest income for 2000 was $22,670,000, up $2,082,000 or 10.1% over 1999. Interest income in 2000 was $30,862,000, an increase of $3,276,000 or 11.9% over 1999. Average interest earning assets were $325,239,000 in 2000, an increase of $19,330,000 or 6.3% over 1999. Average loans were $238,167,000 in 2000, an increase of $13,712,000 or 6.1% over 1999. Their yield was 10.8% in 2000, 35 basis points higher than in 1999.
Interest expense for 2001 was $7,935,000, a slight decline of $257,000 or 3.1% compared to 2000, as rates on average interest-bearing liabilities dropped on a lagged basis behind the prime rate on loans. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $262,019,000 in 2001, $30,071,000 or 13.0% higher than 2000. However, the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities declined by 50 basis points in 2001 compared to 2000. The principal interest-bearing liabilities are time deposits. Average time deposits increased to $105,224,000 in 2001, a change of $3,010,000 or 2.9% above 2000, but with a drop of 44 basis points.
Interest expense for 2000 was $8,192,000, an increase of $1,193,000 or 17.1% over 1999. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $231,948,000 in 2000, an increase of $9,648,000 or 4.3% over 1999. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 38 basis points higher in 2000 than in 1999. Although average time deposits declined from $106,279,000 in 1999 to $102,214,000 in 2000, their cost increased by 61 basis points from 1999 to 2000.
The provision for loan losses was $300,000 in 2001, a decrease of $125,000 or 29.4% from 2000. The provision for 2000 was $425,000, a decrease of $325,000 or 43.3% from 1999. At the end of 2001, the allowance for loan losses was 1.21% of loans outstanding, compared to 1.43% in 2000 and 1.22% in 1999.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest yield generated by earning assets and the interest expense associated with the funding of those assets. Net interest income is affected by the interest rate earned or paid and by volume changes in loans, investment securities, deposits and borrowed funds.

Interest income is reflected on an actual basis, not on a fully taxable equivalent basis.
Yield on gross loans was not adjusted for nonaccrual loans, as these were considered not material for this calculation.
The following table analyzes the dollar amount of change in interest income and expense and the changes in dollar amounts attributable to: (a) changes in volume (changes in volume at the current year rate), (b) changes in rate (changes in rate times the prior year's volume) and (c) changes in rate/volume (changes in rate times change in volume). In this table, the dollar change in rate/volume is prorated to volume and rate proportionately.

In 2001, net interest income represented 88.40% of net revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income), compared to 85.71% in 2000 and 88.08% in 1999. The net yield on average earning assets was 6.34% in 2001 compared to 6.97% in 2000 and 6.73% in 1999. The average rate earned on interest earning assets was 8.53% in 2001, down from 9.49% in 2000 and 9.02% in 1999. The average cost for interest-bearing liabilities was 3.03% in 2001, compared to 3.53% in 2000 and 3.15% in 1999.
The decrease in net interest income in 2001 was due to a combination of a 96 basis point decline in the rate on interest earning assets that was greater than the 50 basis point decline in the rate on interest-bearing liabilities due to a succession of prime rate cuts caused by the Federal Reserve Board. In 2000 compared to 1999, the opposite was the case, as the rate on interest earning assets increased by 47 basis points, and the rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 38 basis points. Generally speaking, rates increased from 1999 to 2000, but declined from 2000 to 2001, with the exception of money market costs, which declined consistently, as follows. For 1999, 2000 and 2001,
rates were as follows: loans were at 10.49%, increased to 10.84%, and ended at 9.59%; investment securities started at 4.97%, increased to 5.72%, ended at 5.48%; federal funds sold, 4.91%, 6.43%, 4.56%. On the expense side, interest-bearing demand deposits cost .99% in 1999, 1.25% in 2000, 1.20% in 2001; money market dropped steadily from 3.79% to 3.30% then to 2.68%; savings started at 1.46%, then 1.95% and finally at 1.57%; time deposits in 1999 cost 4.63%, 5.24% in 2000 and 4.80% in 2001. Finally, fed funds purchased and other borrowings increased sharply from 5.10% in 1999 to 7.96% in 2000, but dropped back to 4.01% in 2001. If the large number of interest rate cuts seen in 2001 stops in 2002 and the economy improves, rates may eventually rise, which would contribute to an improved net interest income, as interest rates on loans tied to prime tend to rise faster than interest rates on deposits.
Provision And Allowance For Loan Losses
The Bank has the responsibility of assessing the overall risks in its loan portfolio, assessing the specific loss expectancy, and determining the adequacy of the loan loss reserve. The level of reserves is determined by internally generating credit quality ratings, reviewing economic conditions in the Bank's market area, and considering the Bank's historical loan loss experience. The Bank is committed to maintaining adequate reserves, identifying credit weaknesses by consistent review of loans, and maintaining the ratings and changing those ratings in a timely manner as circumstances change.
Based on a review of the five years ended December 31, 2001, the Bank has had a very low loan loss experience, with no real estate loan losses. However, in consideration of: a) the significant increase in real estate loans outstanding in 2001, which ended with $180,964,000, or 61.6% of loan portfolio, compared to $115,775,000 in 2000; b) the present state of the economy; c) the increase in vacancy factors in the current commercial real estate market, the proportion of the Allowance for Loan Losses attributable to real estate loans was increased from $955,000 or 28.7% in 2000 to $1,912,000 or 54.0% in 2001.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $3,543,000, $3,332,000 and $2,920,000 at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. This represented 1.21%, 1.43% and 1.22% of outstanding loans on those respective dates. The balances reflect an amount that, in management's judgment, is adequate to provide for potential loan losses based on the considerations listed above. During 2001, the provision for loan losses was $300,000, while write-offs totaled $94,000, compared to a provision for loan losses of $425,000 and total write-offs of $23,000 in 2000 and a provision of $750,000 and total write-offs of $70,000 in 1999. There was no significant single loan written off in the periods mentioned.

Table 4 summarizes transactions in the allowance for loan losses and details the charge-offs, recoveries and net loan losses by loan category for the last five fiscal years ended December 31, 2001. The amount added to the provision and charged to operating expense for each period is based on the risk profile of the loan portfolio.
Starting in 1997 and continuing through 1999, there was a change in portfolio mix, which saw an increase in loan size, and lending in Enterprise Zones, which implies a slightly higher risk. A favorable payment history for these loans indicated that not as much need be added to the reserve, so the provision declined in 2000 and 2001.

Nonperforming Assets
Non-performing assets consist of nonaccrual loans, foreclosed assets, and loans that are 90 days or more past due but are still accruing interest. The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they became due. For the year ended December 31, 2001, had nonaccrual loans performed as agreed, approximately $133,000 in interest would have been accrued.
Table 5 provides a summary of contractually past due loans for the most recent five years. Nonperforming loans were 0.7% of total loans at the end of 2001. Nonperforming loans were 0.5% of total loans at the end of 2000. They were 0.1% of outstanding loans at the end of 1999. Management believes the current list of past due loans are collectible and does not anticipate any losses. There were no foreclosed assets as of the periods indicated.

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $3,007,000 compared to $3,782,000 for 2000 and $2,785,000 for 1999. The decrease in 2001 from 2000 was primarily due to a gain on sale of bank premises of $701,000 that took place in 2000. This same gain accounted for most of the $997,000 increase in 2000 over 1999, with increased credit card activity in 2000 over 1999 producing $214,000 in additional fee income.

Noninterest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $17,911,000, an increase of $1,934,000 or12.1% over 2000. For 2000, they were $15,977,000, an increase of $1,458,000 or 10.0% over 1999. During 2001, the Bank purchased computer hardware and software equipment to convert its accounting system and related application systems. During 2001, salaries included increased costs arising from overtime and additional staff working on the conversion of software systems. Because of difficulties encountered upon conversion and lack of functionality of the new software equipment the Bank evaluated these assets for impairment. No impairment loss was recognized; however, the Bank revised the estimate of useful life of the software. Depreciation expense on the software with an original purchase price of approximately $675,000 was approximately $336,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Bank plans to convert back to its previous accounting and related application systems by March 2002. An important part of the increase in 2001 professional fees was related to consultants hired to help with the data conversion process.
Balance Sheet Analysis
Total assets were $397,388,000 at December 31, 2001, which represented a 4.8% increase over 2000. Total assets were $379,102,000 in 2000, an 8.9% increase over 1999. Assets averaged $401.4 million in 2001 compared to $361.8 million in 2000 and $340.9 million in 1999. Average earning assets increased from $305.9 million in 1999 to $325.2 million in 2000 and $361.6 million in 2001. They represented 89.7% of total average assets in 1999, 89.9% in 2000 and 90.1% in 2001. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $262.0 million in 2001, $231.9 million in 2000 and $222.3 million in 1999. This was an increase of 13.0% in 2001 over 2000, and 4.3% in 2000 over 1999.
Loans
The loan portfolio is the principal earning asset of the Bank. Loans outstanding at December 31, 2001 increased by $58.6 million or 25.2% over 2000, while loans outstanding at December 31, 2000 had decreased by $7 million or 3.0% from 1999.
Real Estate loans had declined by $5.7 million or 4.7% from 1999 to 2000, but rose sharply by $65.2 million or 56.3% from 2000 to 2001. A combination of an emphasis in developing new Commercial Real Estate business, coupled with the series of drops in the prime lending rate were major factors in the upsurge. Construction loans declined only 2.5% from 1999 to 2000, but then dropped $11.3 million or 28% from 2000 to 2001, as existing projects were completed and paid off, while less activity in new construction did not fill the void. Commercial loans were flat between 1999 and 2000, but increased $6.4 million or 12.3% in 2001. There was less activity in Consumer loans, which declined 2.4% from 1999 to 2000, and a further 4.4% in 2001.

Average loans earned 9.59% in 2001, 125 basis points less than in 2000, as a result of numerous prime rate changes during the year. In 2000, average loans earned 10.84%, 35 basis points above 1999. Interest income on loans for 2001 was only $213,000 or 0.8% higher than in 2000, because the interest rate decrease almost erased the effect of an increase in average loans, which increased $33,282,000 or 14.0% in 2001 over 2000. Interest income on loans for
2000 was $25,811,000, $2,269,000 or 9.6% higher than in 1999. In this case, average loans had risen by $13,712,000 or 6.1% in 2000 compared to 1999, and was also affected by a higher yield of 35 basis points.
Investment Portfolio
Investments at December 31, 2001 were $65,311, a decline of $21,930,000 or 25.1% compared to 2000. However, investments at December 31, 2000 were $87,241,000, an increase of $16,583,000 or 23.4% over 1999.
Available funds are first used for Loans, then Investments, and the remainder sold as Federal Funds. The primary source of funds is the deposit base. If more funds are needed, the Investment Portfolio maturities may be used, as well as sales and calls, which accounts for the volume variances in Investments. The Bank's investment portfolio is concentrated in U. S. Government Agencies and in obligations of States and their political subdivisions. The Bank believes this provides for an appropriate liquidity level.

Deposits
The increase in the earning assets in 2001 was funded with the increases in the deposit base. During 2001, average deposits were $349.5 million, an increase of $33.7 million or10.7% over 2000. In 2000, average deposits increased $16.6 million or 5.5% over 1999. In 2001, average interest-bearing deposits were $261.7 million, which represented an increase of $30.1 million or 13.0% over 2000. For 2000, average interest-bearing deposits were $231.7 million, an increase of $9.9 million or 4.5% over 1999.
The Bank's cost of average interest-bearing deposits in 2001 was 3.03%, a decrease of 50 basis points from 2000. The cost of average interest- bearing deposits in 2000 was 3.53%, 39 basis points higher than 1999. The decline in costs from 2000 compared to 2001 followed the drops in the prime lending rate, but at a slower rate, as rates on time certificates of deposits only had an immediate effect on new deposits, but lagged on existing certificates until they matured and were rolled over. This was most noticeable in the case of rates for time deposits of $100,000 or more, which had risen from 4.6% in 1999 to 5.7% in 2000, but dropped back to 4.8% in 2001. These deposits, as a group, tend to have shorter maturities, which cause them to reprice faster.

Capital
At December 31, 2001 shareholders' equity was $46,523,000, an increase of $3,395,000 or 7.9% over 2000. Shareholders' equity was $43,128,000 in 2000, an increase of $5,621,000 or 15.0% over shareholders' equity of $37,507,000 in 1999. The increases were primarily attributable to the retention of net income after payment of cash dividends of $2,272,000 in 2001, $2,673,000 in 2000 and $2,011,000 in 1999. The year 2000 increase in equity included total non-recurring net income of $839,000, due to a reclassification of a tax refund received in 2001, primarily for the recapture of certain tax credits earned in prior years, to a tax receivable in 2000, plus a gain on sale of bank premises.
In 1989, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) established risk-based capital guidelines requiring banks to maintain certain ratios of "qualifying capital" to "risk-weighted assets". Under the guidelines, qualifying capital is classified into two tiers, referred to as Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. Currently, the Bank's Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders' equity, though other instruments such as certain types of preferred stock can also be included in Tier 1 capital. Tier 2 capital consists of eligible reserves for possible loan losses and qualifying subordinated notes and debentures. Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital. Risk-weighted assets are calculated by applying risk percentages specific by the FDIC to categories of both balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet obligations.
At year-end 1990, the FDIC also adopted a leverage ratio requirement. This ratio supplements the risk-based capital ratios and is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets during the reporting period. The requirement established a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0% for the highest rated banks and ratios of 100 to 200 basis points higher for most banks. Furthermore, in 1993, the FDIC began assessing risk-based deposit insurance assessments based on financial institutions' capital resources and "management strength", as mandated by the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991. To qualify for the lowest insurance premiums as indicated in the following table, "well-capitalized financial institutions must maintain risk-based Tier 1 and total capital ratios of at least 6.0% and 10.0% respectively. "Well-capitalized" financial institutions must also maintain a leverage ratio equal to or exceeding 5.0%.
The following table shows the risk-based capital ratios and the leverage ratios at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

Liquidity
Liquidity is a measure of the Bank's ability to convert assets into cash with minimum loss. Liquidity consists of cash and due from other banks accounts, including time deposits, Federal Funds sold, Securities Available-for-Sale and Securities Held-to-Maturity. Securities Held-to-Maturity are only included if they are within three months of maturity or most likely call date. The Bank's policy is to maintain a liquidity ratio of 20% or greater of total assets. As of December 31, 2001, the Bank's primary liquidity was 21.85%, compared to 33.95% in 2000. The ratio declined as federal funds sold and most of the maturity runoff in Available-for-Sale securities was reinvested in higher-yielding quality loans. The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that the Bank has funds available to meet all present and future financial obligations and to take advantage of business opportunities as they occur. Financial obligations arise from withdrawals of deposits, repayment on maturity of purchased funds, extension of loans or other forms of credit, payment of operating expenses and payment of dividends.
Core deposits, which consist of all deposits other than time deposits, have provided the Bank with a sizable source of relatively stable low-cost funds. The Bank's average core deposits funded 61% of average total assets of $401,412,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to 59% of total average assets of $361,843,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000.
As of December 31, 2001, the Bank had contractual obligations and other commercial commitments totaling approximately $69,443,677. The following table sets forth the Bank's contractual obligations and other commercial commitments as of December 31, 2001.

Asset And Liability Management
The largest component of the Bank's earnings is net interest income, which can fluctuate widely when significant interest rates movements occur, as was the case in 2001, with its succession of prime lending rate cuts. The Bank's management is responsible for minimizing the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk and assuring an adequate level of liquidity. This is accomplished by developing objectives, goals and strategies designed to enhance profitability and performance.
Ongoing management of the Bank's interest rate sensitivity limits interest rate risk by controlling the mix and maturity of assets and liabilities. Management regularly reviews the Bank's position and evaluates alternative sources and uses of funds as well as changes in external factors. Various methods are used to achieve and maintain the desired rate sensitivity position including the sale or purchase of assets and product pricing.
In order to ensure that sufficient funds are available for loan growth and deposit withdrawals, as well as to provide for general needs, the Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity. Asset liquidity comes from the Bank's ability to convert short-term investments into cash and from the maturity and repayment of loans and investment securities. Liability liquidity is provided by the Bank's ability to attract deposits. The primary source of liability liquidity is the Bank's customer base, which provides core deposit growth. The overall liquidity position of the Bank is closely monitored and evaluated regularly. Management believes the Bank's liquidity sources at December 31, 2001 were adequate to meet its operating needs in 2002 and going forward into the foreseeable future.
The following table sets forth the maturity distribution and interest rate sensitivity of selected interest sensitive as well as noninterest sensitive assets and liabilities, including the interest rate sensitivity gap and cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap as of December 31, 2001. The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2001, which are anticipated by the Bank, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual terms of the asset or liability. Since all interest rates and yields do not adjust at the same velocity or magnitude, and since volatility is subject to change, the gap is only a general indicator of interest rate sensitivity. The Bank's asset/liability gap is the difference between the cash flow amounts of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities that will be refinanced (or repriced) during a given period. For example, if the asset amount to be repriced exceeds the corresponding liability amount for a certain day, month, year, or longer period, the institution is in an asset-sensitive gap position. In this situation, net interest income would increase if market interest rates rose or decrease if market interest rates fell. If, alternatively, more liabilities than assets will reprice, the institution is in a liability-sensitive position. Accordingly, net interest income would decline when rates rose and increase when rates fell.

Effect Of Changing Prices
The results of operations and financial conditions presented in this report are based on historical cost information and are not adjusted for the effects of inflation.
Since the assets and liabilities of banks are primarily monetary in nature(payable in fixed, determinable amounts), the performance of the Bank is affected more by changes in interest rates than by inflation. Interest rates generally increase as the rate of inflation increases, but the magnitude of the change in rates may not be the same.
The effect of inflation on banks is normally not as significant as its influence on those businesses that have large investments in plant and inventories. During periods of high inflation, there are normally corresponding increases in the money supply, and banks will normally experience above average growth in assets, loans and deposits. Also, increases in the price of goods and services will result in increased operating expenses.
The following table includes key ratios, including returns on average assets and equity, which show the effect of the significant series of interest rate adjustments throughout 2001 and the effects of noninterest income and expenses.

Interest Rate Risk
Closely related to the concept of liquidity is the concept of interest rate sensitivity (i.e., the extent to which assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates). Interest rate sensitivity is often measured by the extent to which mismatches or "gaps" occur in the repricing of assets and liabilities within a given time period. Gap analysis is utilized to quantify such mismatches. A "positive" gap results when the amount of earning assets repricing within a given time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing within that time period. A "negative" gap results when the amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing within a given time period exceeds the amount of earning assets repricing within such time period.
In general, a financial institution with a positive gap in relevant time periods will benefit from an increase in market interest rates and will experience erosion in net interest income if such rates fall. Likewise, a financial institution with a negative gap in relevant time periods will normally benefit from a decrease in market interest rates and will be adversely affected by an increase in rates. By maintaining a balanced interest rate sensitivity position, where interest rate sensitive assets roughly equal interest sensitive liabilities in relevant time periods, interest rate risk can be limited.
As a financial institution, the Company's potential interest rate volatility is a primary component of its market risk. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company's assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets, other than those that possess a short term to maturity. Based upon the nature of the Company's operations, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. The Company does not own any trading assets and does not have any hedging transactions in place, such as interest rate swaps and caps.
The Company's Board of Directors has adopted an Asset/Liability Policy designed to stabilize net interest income and preserve capital over a broad range of interest rate movements. This policy outlines guidelines and ratios dealing with, among others, liquidity, volatile liability dependence, investment portfolio composition, loan portfolio composition, loan-to-deposit ratio and gap analysis ratio. The Company's performance as compared to Asset/Liability Policy is monitored by its Board of Directors. In addition, to effectively administer the Asset/Liability Policy and to monitor exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company maintains an Asset/Liability Committee, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Branch Administrator, and Comptroller. This committee meets monthly to review the Company's lending and deposit-gathering activities, to review competitive interest rates, to develop strategies to implement the Asset/Liability Policy and to respond to market conditions.
The Company monitors and controls interest rate risk through a variety of techniques, including use of traditional interest rate sensitivity analysis (also known as "gap analysis") and an interest rate risk management model. With the interest rate risk management model, the Company projects future net interest income, and then estimates the effect of various changes in interest rates and balance sheet growth rates on that projected net interest income. The Company also uses the interest rate risk management model to calculate the change in net portfolio value over a range of interest rate change scenarios. Traditional gap analysis involves arranging the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by repricing periods and then computing the difference (or "interest rate sensitivity gap") between the assets and liabilities that are estimated to reprice during each time period and cumulatively through the end of each time period.
Both interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis are done at a specific point in time and involve a variety of significant estimates and assumptions. Interest rate sensitivity modeling requires, among other things, estimates of how much and when yields and costs on individual categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will respond to general changes in market rates, future cash flows and discount rates.
Gap analysis requires estimates as to when individual categories of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice, and assumes that assets and liabilities assigned to the same repricing period will reprice at the same
time and in the same amount. Gap analysis does not account for the fact that repricing of assets and liabilities is discretionary and subject to competitive and other pressures.
The following table sets forth the estimated maturity/repricing structure of the Company's interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2001. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets or liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual terms of each asset or liability. The majority of interest-bearing demands deposits and savings deposits are assumed to be "core" deposits, or deposits that will remain at the Company regardless of market interest rates. The table does not assume any prepayment of fixed-rate loans.

Changes in estimates and assumptions made for interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis could have a significant impact on projected results and conclusions. Therefore, these techniques may not accurately reflect the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company's net interest income or net portfolio value.
Because of the limitations in the gap analysis discussed above, members of the Company's Asset/Liability Management Committee believe that the interest sensitivity modeling more accurately reflects the effects and exposure to changes in interest rates. Net interest income simulation considers the relative sensitivities of the balance sheet, including the effects of interest rate caps on adjustable rate mortgages and the relatively stable aspects of core deposits. As such, net interest income simulation is designed to address the probability of interest rate changes and behavioral response of the balance sheet to those changes. Market Value of Portfolio Equity represents the fair value of the net present value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items. The starting point (or "base case") for the following table is an estimate of the Company's net portfolio value at December 31, 2001 (using current discount rates, and an estimate of net interest income for 2002 assuming that both interest rates and the Company's interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at December 31, 2001 levels. The "rate shock" information in the table shows estimates of net portfolio value at December 31, 2001 and net interest income for 2001 assuming fluctuations or "rate shocks" of minus 100 and 200 basis points and plus 100 and 200 basis points. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately. The information set forth in the following table is based on significant estimates and assumptions, and constitutes a forward-looking statement within the meaning of that term set forth in Rule 173 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 3-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Report Of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Board of Directors
First National Bank of Northern California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First National Bank of Northern California (a National Banking Association) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First National Bank of Northern California as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

First National Bank of Northern California
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
First National Bank of Northern California (the Bank) provides traditional banking services in San Mateo and San Francisco counties. The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with prevailing practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. Included in cash and cash equivalents are amounts restricted for the Federal Reserve requirement of approximately $10,573,000 and $9,663,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. (See Note C).
Available-for-sale securities consist of bonds, notes, debentures, and certain equity securities not classified as held-to-maturity securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. Gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific identification method.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
A loan is identified as impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.
The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to earnings and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management evaluates the adequacy of the Bank's allowance periodically, but at least quarterly, based on the Bank's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.
Depreciation is provided by the straight-line and double declining balance methods in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives ranging from 3 to 31 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Interest is accrued monthly, as earned, on all loans. Management does not recognize interest income on loans if collection of the interest is deemed doubtful. Interest income is recognized using a method that provides a level yield on principal amounts outstanding.
Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the contractual life of the related loan.
First National Bank of Northern California
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
A transfer of financial assets is accounted for as a sale when control is surrendered over the assets transferred.
Servicing rights and other retained interests in the assets sold are recorded by allocating the previous recorded investment between the asset sold and the interest retained based on their relative fair values, at the date of transfer.
Payment of dividends is subject to certain restrictions under the National Banking Laws. The payment of cash dividends in any calendar year is generally limited to the Bank's net earnings for the current and two preceding years.
Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences of temporary differences by applying current tax rates to differences between income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liabilities method the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, where by compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. However, the Standard also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Bank's stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and under Opinion No. 25 no compensation cost is recognized for them. The Bank has elected to continue with the accounting methodology in Opinion No. 25 and, as a result, has provided pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share and other disclosures, as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Earnings per common share (EPS) is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Retroactive recognition has been given for all periods presented for the issuance of stock dividends.
Earnings per share have been computed based on the following:
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands)
------------------------
2001 2000 1999
------ ------ ------
(as adjusted)
Net earnings $5,237 $7,128 $5,217

Effect of dilutive options 6 2 --
------ ------ ------
Average number of shares outstanding
Used to calculate diluted earnings per share 2,220 2,321 2,319
====== ====== ======
|
Options to purchase 18,811 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. The options, which expire on May 13, 2008, were still outstanding at December 31, 2001.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The notes to financial statements include various estimated fair value information as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. Such information, which pertains to the Bank's financial instruments, does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the Bank. Further, the fair value estimates are based on various assumptions, methodologies and subjective considerations, which vary widely among different financial institutions and which are subject to change. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank.
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets' fair values.
Securities: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
First National Bank of Northern California
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Loans: Fair values for variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the Bank's off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit standing of the counterparties.
Deposit liabilities: The fair values estimated for demand deposits (interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of the aggregate expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Federal Funds Purchased. The carrying amount of federal funds purchased approximates their fair values.
Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
NOTE B - PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
The net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been adjusted to record an income tax refund receivable of $341,770. The impact of the adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2000 is as follows:
As Previously
Reported Adjustment As Adjusted
---------- ---------- ----------
Income tax expense $3,263,391 $ (341,770) $2,921,621

Earnings per share:
Basic $2.93 $ $0.14 $3.07
Diluted $2.92 $0.15 $3.07
|
NOTE C - RESTRICTED CASH BALANCE
Cash and due from banks include balances with the Federal Reserve Bank (the "FRB"). The Bank is required to maintain specified minimum average balances with the FRB, based primarily upon the Bank's deposit balances. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Bank maintained deposits in excess of the FRB reserve requirement.

During 2001, the Bank purchased computer hardware and software equipment to convert its accounting system and related application systems. Because of difficulties encountered upon conversion and lack of functionality of the new software equipment the Bank evaluated these assets for impairment. No impairment loss was recognized. The Bank however revised its estimate of useful life on the software. Depreciation expense on the software with an original purchase price of approximately $675,000 was approximately $336,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Bank plans to convert back to its previous accounting and related application systems by March 31, 2002.

NOTE N - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or through standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments and is usually limited to amounts funded or drawn. The contract or notional amounts of these agreements, which are not included in the balance sheets, are an indicator of the Bank's credit exposure. Commitments to extend credit generally carry variable interest rates and are subject to the same credit standards used in the lending process for on-balance-sheet instruments. Additionally, the Bank periodically reassesses the customer's creditworthiness through ongoing credit reviews. The Bank generally requires collateral or other security to support commitments to extend credit.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts
represent credit risk:
Undisbursed loan commitments $34,871,600
Lines of credit 27,231,807

NOTE N - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial and residential properties.
Equity reserve and unused credit card lines are additional commitments to extend credit. Many of these customers are not expected to draw down their total lines of credit, and therefore, the total contract amount of these lines does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

The carrying amounts include $1,958,593 of nonaccrual loans (loans that are not accruing interest) at December 31, 2001 only. Management has determined that primarily because of the uncertainty of predicting an observable market interest rate excessive amounts of time and money would be incurred to estimate the fair values of non-performing assets. As such, these assets are recorded at their carrying amount in the estimated fair value columns. The following aggregate information is provided at December 31, about the contractual provisions of these assets:
2001 2000

Aggregate carrying amount $ 1,958,593 $ 1,209,914
Effective rate 8.07% 11.10%
Average term to maturity 32 months matured

NOTE O - SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Most of the Bank's business activity is with customers located within San Mateo and San Francisco counties. Generally, the loans are secured by assets of the borrowers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. The Bank does not have significant concentrations of loans to any one industry.
The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Commercial and standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers.
The contractual amounts of credit-related financial instruments such as commitments to extend credit, credit-card arrangements, and letters of credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default, and the value of any existing collateral become worthless.

NOTE P - REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2001, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.
The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the following table; dollar amounts in thousand's:

NOTE Q - STOCK OPTION PLAN
In 1997, the Bank adopted an incentive employee stock option plan. The plan allows the Bank to grant options to employees of up to 231,525 shares, which includes effect of stock dividends, of common stock. Options currently outstanding become exercisable in one to five years from the grant date, based on a vesting schedule of 20% per year and expire 10 years after the grant date. The options exercise price is the fair value of the options at the grant date. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the Bank's net earnings and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the fair value method with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2001; dividend yield of 9 percent for the year; risk-free interest rate of 5.4 percent; expected volatility of 6.8 percent and expected life of 10 years. The assumptions used for grants in 2000; dividend yield of 10 percent for the year; risk-free interest rate of 6.1 percent; expected volatility of 11 percent, and expected life of 10 years. The assumptions used for grants in 1999; dividend yield of 9 percent for the year; risk-free interest rate of 6.5 percent; expected volatility of 5 percent, and expected life of 10 years.

NOTE S - SIGNIFICANT FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS
During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Bank entered into a Separation Agreement with one of its former officers. The terms of the Separation Agreement provide for salary continuation payments and health benefits for eighteen months commencing November 1, 2001. The Bank recognized a change to earnings of $280,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 for the former officer's Separation Agreement. The Separation Agreement also provided that the former officer is entitled to receive the early termination benefit as provided for in the Bank Salary Continuation Plan and Deferred Compensation Plan. The amount of the vested accrued liability for the former officer under this plan as of December 31, 2001 was $360,167.
During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Bank recorded an adjustment to reduce interest income for deferred loan fee amortization of $164,549.
NOTE T - RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to use the purchase method of accounting. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they meet the explicit criteria in SFAS 141.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and those intangible assets that have indefinite lives are not amortized. but are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator. In certain circumstances, goodwill impairment testing need not be done annually. All acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. The Bank must adopt SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002.
In 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS 143 applies to all entities that have legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset. SFAS 143 requires that a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized if the obligation meets the definition of a liability in FASB Concepts Statement 6, Elements of Financial Statements, and if the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. When a retirement obligation is initially recognized, the asset retirement cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by an amount equal to the liability. The initial recording of the obligation should be at fair market value. The Bank must adopt SFAS 143 as of January 1, 2003, but earlier application is allowed.

NOTE T - RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNOUNCEMENTS (continued)
In 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, as well as the provisions of Opinion 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, that address the disposal of a business. SFAS 144 also amends ARB 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidate a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. SFAS 144 carries over the recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS 121, but differs from SFAS 121 in that it provides guidance is estimating future cash flows to test recoverability. SFAS 144 also includes criteria that have to be met for an entity to classify a long-lived asset or asset group as held for sale, and extends the presentation of discontinued operations permitted by Opinion 30 to include disposals of a component of an entity. The Bank must adopt SFAS 144 as of January 1, 2002, except for the disposal provisions, which are immediately effective.
SOP 01-6 applies to any entity that lends to or finances the activities of others. SOP 01-6 clarifies that the accounting and financial reporting practices for lending and financing activities should be the same regardless of the type of entity engaging in those activities. SOP 01-6 also provides for the resolution of accounting differences among various financial institutions for similar transactions. The Bank must adopt SOP 01-6 as of January 1, 2002.
The Bank does not expect that the adoption of these recent accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on the Bank's financial statements.
NOTE U - PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
The board of directors of the Bank has authorized a plan of reorganization under which the Bank would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed California corporation, FNB Bancorp. In the plan of reorganization, each share of the Bank will be converted into one share of FNB Bancorp common stock on a share-for-share basis. The Bank common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "FNBD.OB". The parties to the plan of reorganization intends to file an application for listing of FNB Bancorp stock on the NASDAQ national market to be effective on or as soon as practicable following the effective date of the reorganization. A special meeting of the shareholders of the Bank will be held on February 27, 2002 to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the plan of reorganization.
There has been no change in the independent accountants engaged to audit the financial statements of FNB Bancorp and First National Bank during the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001. There have been no disagreements with such independent accountants during the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, on any matter of accounting principles, financial statement disclosure, or auditing or procedure.

Effect Of Changing Prices
The results of operations and financial conditions presented in this report are based on historical cost information and are not adjusted for the effects of inflation.
Since the assets and liabilities of banks are primarily monetary in nature(payable in fixed, determinable amounts), the performance of the Bank is affected more by changes in interest rates than by inflation. Interest rates generally increase as the rate of inflation increases, but the magnitude of the change in rates may not be the same.
The effect of inflation on banks is normally not as significant as its influence on those businesses that have large investments in plant and inventories. During periods of high inflation, there are normally corresponding increases in the money supply, and banks will normally experience above average growth in assets, loans and deposits. Also, increases in the price of goods and services will result in increased operating expenses.
The following table includes key ratios, including returns on average assets and equity, which show the effect of the significant series of interest rate adjustments throughout 2001 and the effects of noninterest income and expenses.

Interest Rate Risk
Closely related to the concept of liquidity is the concept of interest rate sensitivity (i.e., the extent to which assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates). Interest rate sensitivity is often measured by the extent to which mismatches or "gaps" occur in the repricing of assets and liabilities within a given time period. Gap analysis is utilized to quantify such mismatches. A "positive" gap results when the amount of earning assets repricing within a given time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing within that time period. A "negative" gap results when the amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing within a given time period exceeds the amount of earning assets repricing within such time period.
In general, a financial institution with a positive gap in relevant time periods will benefit from an increase in market interest rates and will experience erosion in net interest income if such rates fall. Likewise, a financial institution with a negative gap in relevant time periods will normally benefit from a decrease in market interest rates and will be adversely affected by an increase in rates. By maintaining a balanced interest rate sensitivity position, where interest rate sensitive assets roughly equal interest sensitive liabilities in relevant time periods, interest rate risk can be limited.
As a financial institution, the Company's potential interest rate volatility is a primary component of its market risk. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company's assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets, other than those that possess a short term to maturity. Based upon the nature of the Company's operations, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. The Company does not own any trading assets and does not have any hedging transactions in place, such as interest rate swaps and caps.
The Company's Board of Directors has adopted an Asset/Liability Policy designed to stabilize net interest income and preserve capital over a broad range of interest rate movements. This policy outlines guidelines and ratios dealing with, among others, liquidity, volatile liability dependence, investment portfolio composition, loan portfolio composition, loan-to-deposit ratio and gap analysis ratio. The Company's performance as compared to Asset/Liability Policy is monitored by its Board of Directors. In addition, to effectively administer the Asset/Liability Policy and to monitor exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company maintains an Asset/Liability Committee, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Branch Administrator, and Comptroller. This committee meets monthly to review the Company's lending and deposit-gathering activities, to review competitive interest rates, to develop strategies to implement the Asset/Liability Policy and to respond to market conditions.
The Company monitors and controls interest rate risk through a variety of techniques, including use of traditional interest rate sensitivity analysis (also known as "gap analysis") and an interest rate risk management model. With the interest rate risk management model, the Company projects future net interest income, and then estimates the effect of various changes in interest rates and balance sheet growth rates on that projected net interest income. The Company also uses the interest rate risk management model to calculate the change in net portfolio value over a range of interest rate change scenarios. Traditional gap analysis involves arranging the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by repricing periods and then computing the difference (or "interest rate sensitivity gap") between the assets and liabilities that are estimated to reprice during each time period and cumulatively through the end of each time period.
Both interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis are done at a specific point in time and involve a variety of significant estimates and assumptions. Interest rate sensitivity modeling requires, among other things, estimates of how much and when yields and costs on individual categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will respond to general changes in market rates, future cash flows and discount rates.
Gap analysis requires estimates as to when individual categories of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice, and assumes that assets and liabilities assigned to the same repricing period will reprice at the same
time and in the same amount. Gap analysis does not account for the fact that repricing of assets and liabilities is discretionary and subject to competitive and other pressures.
The following table sets forth the estimated maturity/repricing structure of the Company's interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2001. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets or liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual terms of each asset or liability. The majority of interest-bearing demands deposits and savings deposits are assumed to be "core" deposits, or deposits that will remain at the Company regardless of market interest rates. The table does not assume any prepayment of fixed-rate loans.

Changes in estimates and assumptions made for interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis could have a significant impact on projected results and conclusions. Therefore, these techniques may not accurately reflect the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company's net interest income or net portfolio value.
Because of the limitations in the gap analysis discussed above, members of the Company's Asset/Liability Management Committee believe that the interest sensitivity modeling more accurately reflects the effects and exposure to changes in interest rates. Net interest income simulation considers the relative sensitivities of the balance sheet, including the effects of interest rate caps on adjustable rate mortgages and the relatively stable aspects of core deposits. As such, net interest income simulation is designed to address the probability of interest rate changes and behavioral response of the balance sheet to those changes. Market Value of Portfolio Equity represents the fair value of the net present value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items. The starting point (or "base case") for the following table is an estimate of the Company's net portfolio value at December 31, 2001 (using current discount rates, and an estimate of net interest income for 2002 assuming that both interest rates and the Company's interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at December 31, 2001 levels. The "rate shock" information in the table shows estimates of net portfolio value at December 31, 2001 and net interest income for 2001 assuming fluctuations or "rate shocks" of minus 100 and 200 basis points and plus 100 and 200 basis points. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately. The information set forth in the following table is based on significant estimates and assumptions, and constitutes a forward-looking statement within the meaning of that term set forth in Rule 173 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 3-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

First National Bank of Northern California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First National Bank of Northern California (a National Banking Association) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First National Bank of Northern California as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

First National Bank of Northern California
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
First National Bank of Northern California (the Bank) provides traditional banking services in San Mateo and San Francisco counties. The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with prevailing practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. Included in cash and cash equivalents are amounts restricted for the Federal Reserve requirement of approximately $10,573,000 and $9,663,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. (See Note C).
Available-for-sale securities consist of bonds, notes, debentures, and certain equity securities not classified as held-to-maturity securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. Gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific identification method.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
A loan is identified as impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.
The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to earnings and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management evaluates the adequacy of the Bank's allowance periodically, but at least quarterly, based on the Bank's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.
Depreciation is provided by the straight-line and double declining balance methods in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives ranging from 3 to 31 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Interest is accrued monthly, as earned, on all loans. Management does not recognize interest income on loans if collection of the interest is deemed doubtful. Interest income is recognized using a method that provides a level yield on principal amounts outstanding.
Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the contractual life of the related loan.
First National Bank of Northern California
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
A transfer of financial assets is accounted for as a sale when control is surrendered over the assets transferred.
Servicing rights and other retained interests in the assets sold are recorded by allocating the previous recorded investment between the asset sold and the interest retained based on their relative fair values, at the date of transfer.
Payment of dividends is subject to certain restrictions under the National Banking Laws. The payment of cash dividends in any calendar year is generally limited to the Bank's net earnings for the current and two preceding years.
Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences of temporary differences by applying current tax rates to differences between income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liabilities method the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, where by compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. However, the Standard also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Bank's stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and under Opinion No. 25 no compensation cost is recognized for them. The Bank has elected to continue with the accounting methodology in Opinion No. 25 and, as a result, has provided pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share and other disclosures, as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Earnings per common share (EPS) is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Retroactive recognition has been given for all periods presented for the issuance of stock dividends.
Earnings per share have been computed based on the following:
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands)
--------------------------------
2001 2000 1999
-------- -------- --------
(as adjusted)
Net earnings $ 5,237 $ 7,128 $ 5,217

Effect of dilutive options 6 2 --
-------- -------- --------
Average number of shares outstanding
Used to calculate diluted earnings per share 2,220 2,321 2,319
======== ======== ========
|
Options to purchase 18,811 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. The options, which expire on May 13, 2008, were still outstanding at December 31, 2001.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The notes to financial statements include various estimated fair value information as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. Such information, which pertains to the Bank's financial instruments, does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the Bank. Further, the fair value estimates are based on various assumptions, methodologies and subjective considerations, which vary widely among different financial institutions and which are subject to change. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank.
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets' fair values.
Securities: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
First National Bank of Northern California
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Loans: Fair values for variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the Bank's off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit standing of the counterparties.
Deposit liabilities: The fair values estimated for demand deposits (interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of the aggregate expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Federal Funds Purchased. The carrying amount of federal funds purchased approximates their fair values.
Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
NOTE B - PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
The net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been adjusted to record an income tax refund receivable of $341,770. The impact of the adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2000 is as follows:

NOTE C - RESTRICTED CASH BALANCE
Cash and due from banks include balances with the Federal Reserve Bank (the "FRB"). The Bank is required to maintain specified minimum average balances with the FRB, based primarily upon the Bank's deposit balances. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Bank maintained deposits in excess of the FRB reserve requirement.

During 2001, the Bank purchased computer hardware and software equipment to convert its accounting system and related application systems. Because of difficulties encountered upon conversion and lack of functionality of the new software equipment the Bank evaluated these assets for impairment. No impairment loss was recognized. The Bank however revised its estimate of useful life on the software. Depreciation expense on the software with an original purchase price of approximately $675,000 was approximately $336,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Bank plans to convert back to its previous accounting and related application systems by March 31, 2002.

NOTE N - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or through standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments and is usually limited to amounts funded or drawn. The contract or notional amounts of these agreements, which are not included in the balance sheets, are an indicator of the Bank's credit exposure. Commitments to extend credit generally carry variable interest rates and are subject to the same credit standards used in the lending process for on-balance-sheet instruments. Additionally, the Bank periodically reassesses the customer's creditworthiness through ongoing credit reviews. The Bank generally requires collateral or other security to support commitments to extend credit.

NOTE N - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial and residential properties.
Equity reserve and unused credit card lines are additional commitments to extend credit. Many of these customers are not expected to draw down their total lines of credit, and therefore, the total contract amount of these lines does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

The carrying amounts include $1,958,593 of nonaccrual loans (loans that are not accruing interest) at December 31, 2001 only. Management has determined that primarily because of the uncertainty of predicting an observable market interest rate excessive amounts of time and money would be incurred to estimate the fair values of non-performing assets. As such, these assets are recorded at their carrying amount in the estimated fair value columns. The following aggregate information is provided at December 31, about the contractual provisions of these assets:

Aggregate carrying amount $ 1,958,593 $ 1,209,914
Effective rate 8.07% 11.10%

NOTE O - SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Most of the Bank's business activity is with customers located within San Mateo and San Francisco counties. Generally, the loans are secured by assets of the borrowers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. The Bank does not have significant concentrations of loans to any one industry.
The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Commercial and standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers.
The contractual amounts of credit-related financial instruments such as commitments to extend credit, credit-card arrangements, and letters of credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default, and the value of any existing collateral become worthless.

NOTE P - REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2001, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.
The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the following table; dollar amounts in thousand's:

NOTE Q - STOCK OPTION PLAN
In 1997, the Bank adopted an incentive employee stock option plan. The plan allows the Bank to grant options to employees of up to 231,525 shares, which includes effect of stock dividends, of common stock. Options currently outstanding become exercisable in one to five years from the grant date, based on a vesting schedule of 20% per year and expire 10 years after the grant date. The options exercise price is the fair value of the options at the grant date. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the Bank's net earnings and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the fair value method with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2001; dividend yield of 9 percent for the year; risk-free interest rate of 5.4 percent; expected volatility of 6.8 percent and expected life of 10 years. The assumptions used for grants in 2000; dividend yield of 10 percent for the year; risk-free interest rate of 6.1 percent; expected volatility of 11 percent, and expected life of 10 years. The assumptions used for grants in 1999; dividend yield of 9 percent for the year; risk-free interest rate of 6.5 percent; expected volatility of 5 percent, and expected life of 10 years.

NOTE S - SIGNIFICANT FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS
During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Bank entered into a Separation Agreement with one of its former officers. The terms of the Separation Agreement provide for salary continuation payments and health benefits for eighteen months commencing November 1, 2001. The Bank recognized a change to earnings of $280,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 for the former officer's Separation Agreement. The Separation Agreement also provided that the former officer is entitled to receive the early termination benefit as provided for in the Bank Salary Continuation Plan and Deferred Compensation Plan. The amount of the vested accrued liability for the former officer under this plan as of December 31, 2001 was $360,167.
During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Bank recorded an adjustment to reduce interest income for deferred loan fee amortization of $164,549.
NOTE T - RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to use the purchase method of accounting. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they meet the explicit criteria in SFAS 141.
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and those intangible assets that have indefinite lives are not amortized. but are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator. In certain circumstances, goodwill impairment testing need not be done annually. All acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. The Bank must adopt SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002.
In 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS 143 applies to all entities that have legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset. SFAS 143 requires that a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized if the obligation meets the definition of a liability in FASB Concepts Statement 6, Elements of Financial Statements, and if the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. When a retirement obligation is initially recognized, the asset retirement cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by an amount equal to the liability. The initial recording of the obligation should be at fair market value. The Bank must adopt SFAS 143 as of January 1, 2003, but earlier application is allowed.

NOTE T - RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNOUNCEMENTS (continued)
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets"
In 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, as well as the provisions of Opinion 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, that address the disposal of a business. SFAS 144 also amends ARB 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidate a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. SFAS 144 carries over the recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS 121, but differs from SFAS 121 in that it provides guidance is estimating future cash flows to test recoverability. SFAS 144 also includes criteria that have to be met for an entity to classify a long-lived asset or asset group as held for sale, and extends the presentation of discontinued operations permitted by Opinion 30 to include disposals of a component of an entity. The Bank must adopt SFAS 144 as of January 1, 2002, except for the disposal provisions, which are immediately effective.
SOP 01-6, "Accounting by Certain Entities (Including Entities With Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance the Activities of Others"
SOP 01-6 applies to any entity that lends to or finances the activities of others. SOP 01-6 clarifies that the accounting and financial reporting practices for lending and financing activities should be the same regardless of the type of entity engaging in those activities. SOP 01-6 also provides for the resolution of accounting differences among various financial institutions for similar transactions. The Bank must adopt SOP 01-6 as of January 1, 2002.
The Bank does not expect that the adoption of these recent accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on the Bank's financial statements.
NOTE U - PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
The board of directors of the Bank has authorized a plan of reorganization under which the Bank would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed California corporation, FNB Bancorp.

10.19 First Amendment to Separation Agreement between 64
First National Bank of Northern California and
Paul B. Hogan, dated March 22, 2002.
|
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO SEPARATION AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is made as of March 22, 2002, by and between First National Bank of Northern California, a national banking association with its executive offices at 975 El Camino Real, South San Francisco, California 94080 (the "Bank" or "Employer") and Paul B. Hogan ("Employee").
A. The Bank and Employee entered into a Separation Agreement dated December 5, 2001 (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which the Bank agreed to make certain payments to Employee for a period of eighteen (18) months commencing from November 1, 2001.
B. Paragraph 6 of the Agreement provides, among other matters, that neither the Bank nor Employee shall make any derogatory statement about the other and that, under certain circumstances, following binding arbitration as described in Paragraph 12 of the Agreement, the Bank may be relieved of any further obligation to make such payments.
C. The Bank and Employee wish to revise the provisions of Paragraph 12 of the Agreement in order to clarify certain of the remedies available to the Bank in the event of a disagreement or dispute involving the interpretation or application of Paragraph 6 of the Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment, unless otherwise defined, shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Agreement.
2. Restatement of Paragraph 12. Paragraph 12 of the Agreement is hereby amended, revised and restated in its entirety and shall be worded as follows:
"12. Arbitration. In the event either party believes that the other has violated any material provision of this Agreement, or in the event any other disagreement or dispute arises over the meaning or application of this Agreement, Employer and Employee agree that such controversy shall be fully and finally decided by binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator to take place in San Mateo County, California, on an accelerated basis, without right to decision by a jury and without right of appeal. The party making a claim shall describe that claim in writing with reasonable particularity in the form of a demand for arbitration and request for specific relief. Employer agrees to advance all costs of the arbitration and arbitrator. If any claim is made by Employer with respect to Employee's compliance with Paragraph 6 of this Agreement, then Employer shall be entitled, at
its sole option, to suspend all further payments to Employee under sub-paragraph 1(b) of this Agreement, pending completion of the arbitration. In the event Employer is deemed by the arbitrator to be the non-prevailing party in the arbitration, Employer shall also reimburse Employee's reasonable attorneys' fees in the amount determined by the arbitrator. In the event Employee is deemed by the arbitrator to be the non-prevailing party, Employee shall reimburse one-half (1/2) of the amounts advanced by Employer for the arbitrator and the arbitration. In the event Employee is deemed by the arbitrator to be the non-prevailing party, Employee shall also reimburse Employer's reasonable attorneys' fees in the amount determined by the arbitrator."
3. Effective Date. This Amendment shall be effective as of the date first above written, subject to the condition that the Bank and Employee, and legal counsel to Employee, shall have affixed their signatures to this Amendment on or before March 31, 2002. Upon execution of this Amendment (not later than March 31, 2002) by the Bank, Employee and legal counsel to Employee, all payments heretofore required to have been made by the Bank to Employee pursuant to sub-paragraph 1(b) of the Agreement, currently being held in a suspense account at the Bank pending the execution of this Amendment, shall promptly be released from said suspense account and delivered by the Bank to Employee. If the Bank and Employee, and legal counsel to Employee, have not signed this Amendment on or before March 31, 2002, this Amendment shall be void and without force or effect as of such date.
4. Effect of Amendment. Except as amended as set forth in Section 2 above, and subject to Section 3 above, the Agreement shall be unchanged and continue in effect.
5.1 Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of California. This Amendment shall be deemed to have been entered into and performed in South San Francisco, California. All questions of validity, interpretation or performance of any of the terms of this Amendment or any rights or obligations of Employee or the Bank shall be governed by California law.
5.2 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
5.3 Headings. The headings and captions used in this Amendment are used only for convenience and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Amendment.
5.4 Entire Agreement. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings duties or obligations between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the date first above written.
