PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS

BWC Financial Corp. ("Corporation") is a bank holding company registered under
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. It is a holding company for
Bank of Walnut Creek, which was incorporated under the laws of the State of
California on November 26, 1979. Its principal office is located at 1400
Civic Drive, Walnut Creek, California 94596, and its telephone number is (510)
932-5353.

Bank of Walnut Creek has conducted the business of a commercial bank since
December 12, 1980. The Bank's primary focus is to engage in wholesale
commercial banking, serving small to middle-sized businesses, professionals,
high net worth individuals and general retail banking business. Rather than
concentrate on any specific industry, the Bank has solicited and attracted
customers from a wide variety of light manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing,
contracting, real estate development and service businesses, accountants,
physicians and dentists.

The Bank offers a full range of commercial banking services emphasizing the
banking needs of individuals, and the business and professional community in
Walnut Creek, California and surrounding areas of Contra Costa County. The
Bank accepts checking and savings deposits, makes construction loans, mortgage
real estate loans, commercial loans, and installment loans, and offers safe
deposit services, including oversize boxes for short-term storage. It sells
travelers checks, issues drafts, and offers other customary banking services.
The Bank offers its depositors a wide selection of deposit instruments
including money market accounts, NOW accounts, and time certificates of
deposit. Bank of Walnut Creek also offers an auto deposit pick-up service to
its professional and business clients. Automatic teller machines are
available at all bank locations, 24 hours a day, and are part of the EDS and
Cirrus networks with ATM access at locations throughout the United States and
Canada.

During 1994 the Bank established an SBA (Small Business Administration)
lending department, which adds to the Corporations range of services to its
clients. On September 1, 1994 the Corporation started a mortgage business
known as BWC Real Estate. This subsidiary entered into a joint venture with a
broker forming a brokerage service called "BWC Mortgage Services". This
brokerage service serves all areas serviced by the Bank subsidiary and
provides an outlet for not only the Bank's construction clients but for any
person(s) seeking long term mortgage financing. The long term financing is
placed through the most competitive mortgage investors available in the
market.

The Bank is not at this time authorized to conduct trust business and has no
present intention to apply to regulatory authorities to do so. Although the
Bank does not directly offer international banking services, the Bank does
make such services available to its customers through other financial
institutions with which the Bank has correspondent banking relations.

Service Area

Contra Costa County, with a population of 869,000, represents the general
service area of Bank of Walnut Creek and its branches. Walnut Creek,

California, the principal area served by Bank of Walnut Creek, has a
population of approximately 63,000. The Bank also serves surrounding areas,
mostly located within Contra Costa County and Almedia County.

In addition to its head office in Walnut Creek, California, the Bank operates
branch offices in the cities of Orinda, Danville, San Ramon and Pleasanton,
California.

The most recent office was opened on April 15, 1994 at 249 Main Street
Pleasanton, California. The principal area served by this office is
Pleasanton, with a population of approximately 55,000.

BWC Financial Corp. has no foreign or international activities or operations.

Competition

The banking business in the Bank's primary service area, consisting of Contra
Costa County, Southern Solano County, and Northern Alameda County, is highly
competitive with respect to both loans and deposits. The area is dominated by
the major California banks, all of which have multiple branch offices
throughout our defined service area. Additionally, there are many thrifts
representing most of the major thrift institutions operating in the California
market. There are also a number of other independent banks that are a source
of competition due to the similarity of the market served.

Among the advantages of major banks are their abilities to finance wide-
ranging advertising campaigns, to offer certain services (for example, trust
services) which are not offered directly by the Bank and to have substantially
higher legal lending limits due to their greater capitalizations. In addition
to major banks, some of the nation's largest savings and loan associations are
located in California and compete for mortgage business along with smaller
savings and loan associations.

Bank of Walnut Creek is in direct competition with all these financial
institutions. Management believes the Bank competes successfully with these
institutions because of sound management techniques and the flexibility to
adjust to changing economic situations. The dedication of founders,
directors, and bank personnel has been instrumental in the Bank's ability to
compete. The Bank is dedicated to providing personal attention to the
financial needs of businesses, professionals, and individuals in its service
area.


Employees

At December 31, 1994, Bank of Walnut Creek employed 60 people. At the present
time there are no employees directly employed by BWC Financial Corp. or by its
mortgage subsidiary BWC Real Estate. There are 4 persons employed by the
joint venture BWC Mortgage Services.


Supervision and Regulation

As a California state-licensed bank, the Bank is subject to regulation,
supervision and periodic examination by the California State Banking
Department. The Bank is also subject to regulation, supervision, and periodic
examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The
Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, but is nevertheless

subject to certain regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System. As a state bank, the Bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC
to the maximum amount permitted by law, which is currently $100,000.

The regulations of those state and federal bank regulatory agencies govern
most aspects of the Bank's business and operations, including, but not limited
to, requiring the maintenance of non-interest bearing reserves on deposits,
limiting the nature and amount of investments and loans which may be made,
regulating the issuance of securities, restricting the payment of dividends,
regulating bank expansion and bank activities, including real estate
development activities and determining characteristics of certain deposit
accounts.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The principal office of the Bank of Walnut Creek is located at 1400 Civic
Drive, in the financial district of downtown Walnut Creek. The premises are
located in a modern building of which the Bank has leased approximately 11,917
square feet.

BWC Financial Corp. shares common quarters with Bank of Walnut Creek in its
principal office.

Orinda, California. The branch serves the Orinda area. The premises are
located in a remodeled building of approximately 320 square feet.

On November 12, 1985, a branch office was opened at 3130 Crow Canyon Place,
San Ramon, California. The branch serves the San Ramon area. The premises

Change in Interest and Expense
Due to Volume Change and Rate Change


The following table provides pertinent information about interest income and
expense between the years 1994 and 1993, and between the years 1993 and 1992.
The change resulting primarily from growth in each asset or liability category
is expressed as a volume change. The change resulting primarily from changes in
rates is expressed as a rate change. The change attributed to both rate and
volume is allocated equally between both rate and volume changes.

During 1994 total interest income increased $1,215,000 from 1993. Of this
increase $640,000 or 53% was related to volume increases of interest earning
assets and $575,000 or 47% was related to increases in rates.

During 1994 total interest expense increased $214,000 from 1993. Of this
increase $196,000 or 92% was related to volume increases in deposits and
$18,000 or 8% was related to increases in rates.

The result of the above is that net interest income increased $1,001,000
during 1994 as compared to 1993. Net volume increases accounted for an
increase of $444,000 whereas net rate increases accounted for $557,000.

During 1993 total interest income increased $158,000 from 1992. Based on the
volume increases on interest earning assets, interest income would have
increased $948,000. However, this was reduced by $790,000 due to average
rate decreases during the respective periods. On the other hand, total
interest expense decreased $473,000. Based on volume increases on interest
bearing deposits, interest expense would have increased $271,000. However,
this was reduced by $744,000 due to average rate decreases in 1993 as
compared to 1992.

The result of the above is that net interest income increased $631,000 during
1993 as compared to 1992. Volume increases accounted for an increase of
$677,000 whereas rate decreases accounted for $46,000, resulting in a net
increase of $631,000.

(1) Amounts calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis where appropriate.

Volume changes are caused by differences in the level of earning assets and interest-bearing deposits. Rate changes
result from differences in yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities. Changes not solely attributable
to volumes or rates have been allocated equally between rate and volume.





INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
(in thousands except share and per share data)

Proper management of the rate sensitivity and maturities of assets and liabilities
stable net interest margin. Interest rate sensitivity spread management are required
to provide an optimum and is an important tool for achieving this objective and for
developing strategies and means to improve profitability. The schedules shown below
reflect the interest rate sensitivity position of the Corporation as of December 31,
1994 and 1993 respectively. Management believes that the sensitivity ratios reflected
in these schedules fall within acceptable ranges, and represent no undueinterest rate
risk to the future earnings prospects of the Corporation.

of the Corporation's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by
reference.

Allocation of Allowance for Credit Losses is based upon estimates of potential credit losses
and is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonable
anticipated. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by net
charge-offs. Management continually evaluates the economic climate and other conditions to
determine the adequacy of the allowance. Ultimate losses may vary from current estimates.

BWC Financial Corp. believes that any breakdown or allocation of the allowance into loan
categories lends an appearance of exactness which does not exist, in that the allowance
is utilized as a single unallocated reserve available for all loans and commitments to
extend credit. The allowance breakdown shown above should not be interpreted as an
indication of the specific amount or specific loan categories in which future charge-offs
may ultimately occur.
