ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- ------- --------
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

no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
General
- -------
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
-4-
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%.
-5-
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.
-6-
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
-7-
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
-9-
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
-10-
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

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
- ------- ---------------------------------------------------
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

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- ------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS OF FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
-----------------------------------------------------------
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.
-16-
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.

NET INTEREST INCOME $ 239 ($2,438) $ 2,677 $ 2,082 $ 552 $ 1,530
======= ======= ======= ======= ======= =======
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,
-19-
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.
-21-
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.

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.
-23-
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.

31, 1997 through December 31, 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
-24-
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.
-27-
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

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.
-28-
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.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- -------- ----------------------------------------------------------
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
-------------------------
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).
Securities Available-for-Sale
-----------------------------
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
-----
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 and Amortization
-----------------------------
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 and Fees on Loans
--------------------------
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.

December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
-------------------------------------------
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.
Cash Dividends
--------------
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.
Income Taxes
------------
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.
Stock Option Plan
-----------------
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.

Earnings Per Share
------------------
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.
Use of Estimates
----------------
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.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
------------------------------------
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.

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.
Reclassifications
-----------------
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:

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.

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%
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

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
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations"
-------------------------------------
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.
SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations"
-------------------------------------------------------
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.

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. 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.

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.
-30-
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.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- ------- ----------------------------------------------------------
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
-32-
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
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
-------------------------
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).
Securities Available-for-Sale
-----------------------------
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
-----
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 and Amortization
-----------------------------
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 and Fees on Loans
--------------------------
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.

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
-------------------------------------------
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.
Cash Dividends
--------------
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.
Income Taxes
------------
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.
Stock Option Plan
-----------------
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.

Earnings Per Share
------------------
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
======== ======== ========
Average number of shares outstanding 2,214 2,319 2,319
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.
Use of Estimates
----------------
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.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
------------------------------------
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.

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.
Reclassifications

Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current
year presentation.

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

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

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.
2001 2000 1999
------------ ------------ ------------
(as adjusted)
Net earnings As reported $ 5,236,692 $ 7,127,860 $ 5,217,164

Basic earnings per share As reported $ 2.37 $ 3.07 $ 2.25

Diluted earnings per share As reported $ 2.36 $ 3.07 $ 2.25
Pro forma $ 2.36 $ 3.06 $ 2.25
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
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations"
-------------------------------------
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.
SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations"
-------------------------------------------------------
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. 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.
