Item 1.  Financial Statements—Continued

AMERICORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying financial information has been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for quarterly reporting and therefore does not necessarily include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This information should be read in conjunction with Americorp's Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

    The consolidated financial statements include Americorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, American Commercial Bank (the "Bank").

    Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals and provisions, necessary for a fair presentation thereof.

    Some matters discussed in this Form 10-Q may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and therefore may involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. These statements generally appear with words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "may," "intend," and "expect."

Note 2—Earnings Per Share

    Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Accordingly, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share also considers the number of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options.

Note 3—Stock Split

    On March 18, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a two-for-one stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. The effective date for the split was April 15, 1999 and the additional shares issued pursuant to the stock split were distributed on May 8, 1999. All per share data has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this split.

Note 4—Proposed Merger

    On April 9, 2001, the Company announced the signing of an Agreement to Merge and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") with Mid-State Bancshares, the parent company of Mid-State Bank, pursuant to which Mid-State Bancshares will acquire Americorp and American Commercial Bank. Upon consummation, Mid-State Bancshares will become the surviving corporation and Mid-State Bank will become the surviving bank. Consummation of the Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, the approval of the Agreement by the shareholders of Americorp and the receipt of requisite regulatory approvals.

    The Agreement provides that the outstanding shares of Americorp common stock will be exchanged for a combination of cash and shares of common stock of Mid-State Bancshares. Under the Agreement, the maximum amount of Mid-State Bancshares stock to be issued has been set at 70%, the minimum amount of Mid-State Bancshares stock to be issued has been set at 60%, with the balance of the consideration to be paid in cash. The ratio of exchange is based upon the value of $28.75 for each share of Americorp, subject to possible adjustments based upon changes in the price of Mid-State Bancshares stock preceding the effective date of the transaction. The transaction is valued at approximately $63.7 million. The merger is structured to be tax-free and will be accounted for as a purchase.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Income Summary

    Americorp reported net earnings of $438,000 or $0.21 basic income per share for the second quarter of 2001. This represents a $410,000 decrease, or 48.3%, from the same period during 2000 when net earnings were $848,000 or $0.40 basic income per share. This decrease was primarily due to a $497,000 decline in net interest income, offset by a one-time net benefit of $56,000 from the termination of certain postretirement benefits for retired employees and directors and certain costs associated with litigation and a significant increase in the Company's effective tax rate plus continued efforts by the Company to improve operating efficiency. These items and other contributing factors are discussed in more detail later in this analysis.

    Net income for the first six months of 2001 were $1,350,000 or $0.64 basic income per share. This represents a $335,000 decrease, or 19.9%, from the same period in 2000 when net earnings were $1,685,000 or $0.80 basic income per share. The majority of this decline is attributable to the second quarter results as previously discussed.

    Annualized return on average assets for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 was 0.64% and 0.99%, respectively, compared with 1.35% and 1.36% for the same periods in 2000. Return on average assets for the year ended December 31, 2000 was 1.44%.

    Annualized return on average equity for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 was 6.55% and 10.28%, respectively, compared with 14.48% and 14.33% for the same periods in 2000. Return on average equity for the year ended December 31, 2000 was 15.17%.

    Quarterly cash dividends of $0.15 per share were declared in the 2001, a slight increase from the $0.12 and $0.13 per share declared in the first and second quarters of 2000.

Net Interest Income

    Net interest income is the amount by which the interest and amortization of fees generated from loans and other earning assets exceed the cost of funding those assets, usually deposit account interest expense. Net interest income depends on the difference (the "interest rate spread") between gross interest and fees earned on the loans and investment portfolios and the interest rates paid on deposits and borrowings. The following table sets forth the components of net interest income, average earning assets and net interest margin:

Interest Expense     1,656     1,450     3,387     2,636     5,865  
   
 
 
 
 
 
  Net Interest Income   $ 3,323   $ 3,820   $ 6,961   $ 7,640   $ 15,739  
   
 
 
 
 
 
Average Earning Assets   $ 245,806   $ 223,545   $ 243,623   $ 220,275   $ 226,847  
Net Interest Margin     5.41 %   6.84 %   5.71 %   6.94 %   6.94 %

    Net interest income was $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, compared to $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. This decrease of $497,000 was primarily due to the successive declines in the national prime rate. Like most community banks, the majority of the Company's assets have variable interest rates that readjust daily with changes in the national prime rate. Although many of the Company's deposits are also adjustable, competitive forces in the market place serviced by the Company have not allowed it to make corresponding reductions in the rates it pays on those deposits. In fact, the Company's interest expense has actually increased in 2001

7


compared to 2000 due to these competitive forces as well as an increase in the amount of average interest-bearing liabilities in 2001 compared to 2000.

    Net interest income was $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to the $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The $679,000 decrease in net interest income was also due to the factors discussed above.

    The net interest margin in the first half of 2001 compared to the same half of 2000 was also directly impacted by the recent declines in the national prime rate. The national prime rate declined 325 basis points in 2001 from 9.5% to 6.75% on June 30, 2001. The majority of the Company's loans and its investments in federal funds sold reprice daily with changes in the prime rate. Deposits generally reprice at a slower pace, therefore significantly decreasing the net interest margin in the short run. Management changes the rates on deposits based on market conditions and is therefore unable to predict the timing of these increases or the ultimate impact on the Company's future net interest margin.

    The national prime rate was 7.75% for the first six months of 1999, and then experienced 25 basis points increases in July, August and November to end the year at 8.50%. Prime continued to rise in 2000 with 25 basis points increases in February and March and a 50 basis points increase in May to end the first year at 9.50%. As noted above, during 2001, the prime rate declined another 325 basis points to end up at 6.75% on June 30, 2001.

Provision for Loan Losses

    Americorp made $250,000 contributions to the allowance for loan losses in the first and second quarters of 2001. The total provision for loan losses in the first six months of 2001 was $500,000 compared to $664,000 in 2000. Management believes that the allowance, which equals 2.11% of total loans at June 30, 2001, is adequate to cover future losses. The allowance for loans losses at June 30, 2000 was 1.30% of total loans.

    Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 
  Three Months

  Six Months

Loans Charged Off—net of Recoveries     13     25     78     (142 )
   
 
 
 
 
Allowance, End of Period   $ 4,131   $ 2,500   $ 4,131   $ 2,500  
   
 
 
 
 

Noninterest Income

    Noninterest Income represents deposit account services charges and other types of non-loan related fee income. Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 totaled $630,000, which is slightly below the $682,000 reported for the same period in 2000. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $1,409,000, which is slightly above the $1,347,000 reported for the same period in 2000.

8


Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest expense represents salaries, occupancy expenses, professional expenses, outside services and other miscellaneous expenses necessary to conduct business. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 totaled $2,948,000 compared to $3,099,000 for the same period of 2000.  This decline is primarily the result of a one-time net benefit of $56,000 from the termination of certain postretirement benefits for retired employees and directors and certain costs associated with litigation offset by increased merger related and other expenses.

    Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $5,695,000 down slightly from the $6,015,000 for the same period in 2000. As an annualized percent of average assets, noninterest expense was 4.18% in the first half of 2001 compared to 4.87% for the first half of 2000. As noted above, this decline is primarily the result of a one-time net benefit of $56,000 from the termination of certain postretirement benefits for retired employees and directors and certain costs associated with litigation and continued efforts by the Company to improve operating efficiency.

Income Taxes

    The Company's income tax provision for the first six months of 2001 was $825,000, resulting in an effective rate of 37.9% on income before taxes. This rate compares to the 21.9% and the 25.5% reported for the years ending December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company's effective tax has significantly increased due to the lack of tax credits carry forwards that were fully utilized in 2000.

Balance Sheet Analysis

    Total assets at June 30, 2001 totaled $273.0 million, an increase of $6.5 million or 2.4% from December 31, 2000. The majority of this growth was centered in federal funds sold, which increased $7.4 million. Deposits increased by $5.6 million or 2.3% during the six months of 2001. This increase was used to fund the assets growth described above.

however, are significantly better than the same ratios at June 30, 2000. At June 30, 2001, the Company had one property of OREO with a total book value of $265,000. The Company believes this property will be liquidated during 2001 without any significant loss.

Capital

    Total shareholders equity at June 30, 2001 totaled $27.0 million, which represents a 11.6% increase from $24.2 million at June 30, 2000.

    The Bank maintains capital ratios above the Federal regulatory guidelines for a "well-capitalized" bank. The ratios are as follows:

 
  Ratio
  June 30,
2001

  December 31,
2000

 
Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)   5.00 % 9.75 % 9.50 %
Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets)   6.00 % 12.30 % 11.00 %
Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets)   10.00 % 13.56 % 12.30 %

    On February 24, 2000, the Company established a stock repurchase program for up to 200,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. Repurchases have been discontinued due to the proposed merger with Mid-State Bancshares discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements.

Liquidity

    Management is not aware of any future capital expenditures or other significant demands on commitments which would severely impair liquidity.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

    In Management's opinion there has not been a material change in Americorp's market risk profile during the six months ended June 30, 2001. Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Americorp's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its inherent rate risk exposure. Americorp does not have any market risk sensitive instruments acquired for trading purposes. Americorp manages its interest rate sensitivity by matching the repricing opportunities on its earning assets to those on its funding liabilities. Management uses various asset/liability strategies to manage the repricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities to ensure that exposure to interest rate fluctuations is limited within Americorp's guidelines of acceptable levels of risk-taking.

    At June 30, 2001, Americorp had $153.4 million of assets and $160.9 million of liabilities repricing within one year. Therefore, $7.5 million more in interest rate sensitive liabilities than interest rate sensitive assets will change to the then current rate (changes occur due to the instruments being at a variable rate or because the maturity of the instrument requires its replacement at the then current rate). Generally, if rates were to fall during this period, interest expense would decline by a greater amount than interest income and net income would increase. Conversely, if rates were to rise, the reverse would apply, and Americorp's net income would decrease. However, the recent decrease in the prime rate has significantly decreased Americorp's net interest income as asset rates generally reprice faster than liability rates.
