TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:
For Wells Fargo Bank, 1967 was a year of major accomplishments.
We announced plans to become state-wide and, before year-end, established our Southern California headquarters in downtown Los Angeles.
We were one of the founding banks which introduced the successful
new consumer credit card in California-"Master Charge."
We joined with three other banks in forming a new European entity,
Western American Bank, Ltd., which will greatly strengthen our international operations.
The Bank also began conversion to third generation computers.
using the latest and most sophisticated systems available. We were
aggressive in developing new banking services such as providing preapproved credit for checking account customers and an automated
record keeping service for small and medium size businesses.

But by early summer, even though the Federal Reserve Board continued a policy of ease and supplied reserves to the nation's banks at
record levels, interest rates-especially in the long term area-moved
higher because of the credit demands of corporations, and of Federal
and local governments.

Due in considerable part to a severe credit squeeze that reached its
peak the previous fall, California business activity slowed somewhat
in early 1967. By February. a lessening of credit demand and an
increase in the money supply helped to ease loan rates. Short term
money rates, the price of Federal funds and interest rates generally
began to soften.

The devaluation of the British pound in late November triggered
a quick reaction by the Federal Reserve. The discount rate-the
lending rate charged to member banks-was raised one-half a per
cent. Within a few days, major banks had increased their prime lending
rates to six per cent.
H. Stephen Chase, chairman, and Richard P. Cooley,
president and chief executive officer.
The action of the Federal Reserve was stated to be a defensive move
to slow the flight of short-term investment money abroad, attracted
by the higher interest rates announced in London. The rate increase
was also a needed restraint on an economy showing expansionary and
inflationary tendencies. In recent weeks, the Federal government has
taken steps to maintain confidence in the dollar and improve our balance-of-payments. The moves made at this writing are temporary and
will not benefit us if allowed to remain in effect for a long period. The
government must take additional and broadened fiscal actions to curb
the present inflationary pressures within the United States. So far, we
have heard of no better alternatives than to reduce government spending and increase taxes.
These economic and monetary developments were reflected in Wells
Fargo's operations in 1967. The slowing of loan growth and the increase
in deposits added to the Bank's liquidity position, as our loan to
deposit ratio dropped from a peak of 73 per cent in August, 1966 to
65 per cent at the end of 1967.
But the lessening in loan demand, new programs undertaken by the
Bank during the year (i.e. introduction of the credit card, entry into
Southern California) and an increase in the State franchise tax resulted
in only a modest rise in our earnings over 1966's record gains.
Although the move into Southern California was probably the most
important step taken by the Bank last year, our projections indicate
3
that this expansion cost will be approximately seven cents a share in 1968. We still
expect to show a better improvement in earnings than the gain made in 1967.
RECORD EARNINGS: Net operating earnings were up four per cent
to $28.3 million or $3.17 per share, compared to $27.1 million or
$3.04 per share in 1966.
FINANCIAL REVIEW:
In November, stockholders of both the Bank of Pasadena and Wells Fargo Bank
voted in favor of a merger. The merger has also been approved by the State Banking
Department and now awaits final approval by the Federal regulatory authorities.
The figures for 1967 were increased three cents per share because of
an accounting change in our method of recording losses when real
estate loans are sold. ThIS change (more fully described in the footnotes)
was made to conform to new rules of the regulatory authorities.
Figures for 1966 have been revised to meet these changes with the
result that net operating earnings for that year increased three cents
per share to $3.04. In the adjustment, undivided profits as of December 31, 1966 were decreased $472,000.
Opening of new branches in Northern California for the foreseeable future will move
at a much slower pace as our branch expansion program of recent years now gives us
adequate coverage of major metropolitan markets. In the last five years, Wells Fargo
opened eighty new banking offices in Northern California, and we plan to continue
opening branches at this same pace in the next five years. In that period of time, we
expect to have fifty branches in the five-county Los Angeles metropolitan area.
In early 1968, an important move for the Bank will be the acquisition of Sonoma
Mortgage Corporation, one of the nation's large firms in the mortgage banking business.
Sonoma Mortgage services a real estate loan portfolio of approximately $400 million.
The Bank's portfolio in this field is about $280 million. The operation will continue as
a separate division of the Bank and will immediately make a contribution to profit. We
expect that within a reasonable period of time we will be servicing more than one billion
dollars in mortgage loans through this combined operation.
Two new directors were elected in 1967. Leonard K. Firestone, president of Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company of California, was elected to our Board in September. As
a prominent Los Angeles business and civic leader, Mr. Firestone's counsel and guidance will be of substantial benefit to the Bank as our expansion program for Southern
California progresses.

The 1967 earnings performance was somewhat less than anticipated
due to a lessening in loan demand in the first three quarters. The unexpected increase in the State franchise tax amounted to $550,000.

$12,044,115.
Demand deposits, which have shown a slow growth in recent years,
gained eight per cent. Passbook savings were up about five per cent.
The greatest percentage deposit gain was made in non-negotiable
certificates of deposit, up 44 per cent to $393 million. These are individual CD's with a minimum of $1,000 held for a six-month period
or longer.

Ransom M. Cook announced his retirement as chairman of the executive committee
December 14. Mr. Cook will continue as a director of the Bank and assumes the new
positions of chairman of the board of both Wells Fargo Bank International Corporation and Western American Bank, Ltd., the new international entity founded by Wells
Fargo and three other banks.
LOAN GROWTH SLOWS: Credit demands in 1967 were strong but
were primarily in the bond area rather than in the loan field. This
resulted in a considerable change in the loan trend from prior years.
Since 1961, average loans outstanding had increased substantially
each year through 1965.
Banking today-especially in California-is becoming an increasingly exciting, creative and challenging field. To anticipate and meet the needs and demands of the business community and the general public requires an institution dedicated to innovation.
While the Bank's rate of loan growth slowed in 1966 during the
credit squeeze, this was principally due to sales of loans to investors out
of the real estate portfolio. However, the slowdown in business activity
in the early part of 1967 had a direct effect on the Bank's loan demands.
But, because of prior commitments, real estate loans continued to be
delivered to mortgage investors the first part of the year. These sales,
together with reduced real estate activity, resulted in a decrease in the
average annual real estate loans outstanding. The loans declined until
August, but are now increasing again. By year end, total real estate
loans were only $28 million less than the end of 1966.
AVERAGE DEPOSITS

We believe that with our capable and aggressive management team, our talented
specialists, our extensive resources, and our 115 years of banking experience, we will
be able to meet these challenges.

When our immediate expansion plans for Southern California are realized, we will
be in an even stronger position to serve this market and play a more important role
in the growth of our state.
We wish to express warm appreciation to our directors for their support and to our
staff whose dedication to the well-being and progress of the Bank was never more evident than in 1967. The initiative, vision and energy of Wells Fargo people, which combined to produce outstanding accomplishments in the past year, provide us with the
momentum to achieve even greater results in 1968.

Consumer credit, as was the case generally, did not grow at its previous pace. With the Bank's emphasis on quality, and with the overall
reduction in the rate of growth of consumer credit, consumer loans
decreased $18 million from a year ago.

Commercial loan demand, after a slow first quarter, strengthened
as the year progressed, resulting in an increase of $200 million. The
commercial loan growth more than offset the decline in consumer and
real estate loans and resulted in an overall gain of $154 million in total
loans.

With the slowing in loan growth and the substantial increase in
deposits, the loan-to-deposit ratio dropped from its high of 73 % in
August 1966 to 65 % at the end of 1967. This substantial amount of
liquidity places the Bank in a good position to meet the anticipated
loan demands in early 1968.
Reflecting the higher interest rates charged on all loans in 1966 and
1967, the average interest rate (loan yield) on all loans and discounts
reached a new high of 6.34%, a gain of 0.19% over 1966.

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS:
1965
1966
The lending rate to commercial borrowers reacts fairly rapidly to
increases and decreases in the prime rate. However, consumer loan
yields are subject to a more delayed effect because of their term nature.
Long term real estate loan yields show the greatest delay in reacting
to rate changes. With the prime rate now at six per cent, real estate
rates moving up and consumer rates staying fairly steady, prospects
are good for continued higher loan yields in the first half of 1968.

A number of steps have been taken since the decision was made in
mid-June to establish branches in Southern California. The Bank purchased a four-story building at 415 West Fifth Street in downtown Los
Angeles. The remodeled building houses the temporary Southern California headquarters as well as the permanent quarters for the Pershing
Square office.
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS AND RESERVES: Capital funds increased
$11 million to $356 million. The Reserve for Bad Debts rose to $39.3
million, a $2.5 million increase and the maximum amount that is taxdeductible this year. Charge-offs on loans (net of recoveries) were
$6 million, as compared to $4.9 million the previous year. Early in
1967, three loans totaling $3.7 million were charged off. Prospects are
good for substantial early recovery on these loans.
Wells Fargo is also purchasing property at the southeast corner of
Wilshire Boulevard and Flower Street. The Bank plans to construct
a 14-16 story building on the site within three years for the permanent
Southern California headquarters.
1967
BOND YIELDS UP: Contrary to the usual seasonal pattern, there was
no need to sell securities for liquidity purposes in 1967. The sizeable
deposit growth was not only sufficient enough to meet loan demands,
but it also provided additional funds for the bond portfolio.
6
To maintain a fully invested position, some $295 million in securities were added to the Bank's portfolio, bringing the total at year-end
to $1,166 million. All categories of the portfolio increased, with the
largest amount in the Bank's holdings of tax-exempt municipal bonds.
U. S. Government securities at year-end represented 10.0% of our
total assets, unchanged from a year ago. Municipal bonds, however,
now represent 13.7% of our total assets, compared to 9.7% a year ago.

Some funds were placed in short term maturities to ensure an ample
secondary reserve against our increased deposit totals and to provide
for potential loan demand. Additional funds were employed in longer
term bonds to increase earnings. As a result, income from the bond
portfolio was 33 % higher than the previous year, and investment yields
were up 0.50% on a taxable equivalent basis.
There were other changes in the bond mix to take advantage of
attractive yields prevailing and to place us in a more flexible position
for bond account operation. The average maturity of U. S. Government
securities is presently one year and nine months, compared to two
years and two months a year ago.
Money market activities, especially with major corporate accounts
continued to increase with 1967 volume topping $85 billion, a 70%
increase from a year ago. With the Los Angeles opening, which includes
a fully-staffed Investment Department, further substantial gains are
expected in Wells Fargo's money market operations in 1968.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MOVE: The entry into Southern California was a major step for WeIls Fargo and the move at this time was
based on many factors: (1) In recent years, a heavy branch expansion
program was undertaken in Northern California. This program is now
slowing since adequate coverage has been achieved in most of Northern
California's population centers. (2) California is fast becoming a statewide market and corporations are needing and demanding the services
of one bank on a state-wide basis. (3) In Northern California, there
is presently one banking unit to every 6,200 people, while Southern
California has one bank to every 8,000 people. (4) Wells Fargo
branches opened in Northern California today are averaging a breakeven point after three or four years of operation. The Bank's studies
indicate that most of the new branches established in Southern California will be operating in the black within two years. (5) Long-range
projections show that Southern California will continue to have better
than sixty per cent of the state's population for many years to come.

Los Angeles today. The new Music Center with the
City Hall in the background. Wells Fargo opened
its first banking and express office in Los Angeles
in 1854011 Main Street near the Bella Union Hotel.
Applications are pending for additional branches in the five-county
Los Angeles metropolitan area. The announced goal is fifty branches
in a five-year period by de novo.
The merger with the Bank of Pasadena awaits final approval of the
regulatory authorities. The merger has already been approved by stockholders and by the State Banking Department.
The Bank of Pasadena, as of December 31, 1967, had total resources
of $11,690,596 and deposits of $9,934,284. The bank was founded
in 1963 and has two offices in Pasadena and approval for a third in
Tujunga.
John R. Breeden, executive vice president, directs the Southern
California operations. Mr. Breeden was previously in charge of the
Bank's commercial banking activities. Assisting Mr. Breeden is Senior
Vice President Richard D. Jackson, formerly vice president and cashier.
The Southern California headquarters officially opened December 4
with completely staffed departments covering all banking services such
as international, trust, investment, loans, leasing, safe deposit, and
checking and savings accounts.
CREDIT CARD: "Master Charge," the new consumer charge card
initiated by Wells Fargo and three other banks, has surpassed all expectations in its first six months of operation.
Eighty banks in California are participating in the program through
the California Bankcard Association, which acts as a clearing house
for the member banks.
7
Current trends indicate that by the end of the first year of operation
(June 30, 1968), the Association's sales volume figures will approach
$200 million-two-and-one-half times the original projection.
Principally generated as a by-product of the lock box service, the
rapid transmission of this data is receiving increased attention throughout the nation as a modern aid in cash and credit management.
The introduction of Master Charge required the most intensive
marketing effort in the history of the Bank. Nearly every department
provided personnel to explain the advantages of the plan to merchants
and service establishments and to supply them with the materials necessary for participation.
AUTOMATIC CREDIT ACCOUNT: A new Automatic Credit Account service involving"a personal line of credit for checking account
customers was also introduced in 1967. More than 20,000 customers
with pre-approved credit now have this extra feature associated with
their regular or special checking account.
The Bank's program for affiliating merchants was effective and its
share of the Association's total sales volume is about 18 per cent.
More than four out of every ten sales in Northern California were
made through participants signed by Wells Fargo.
ff emergency cash is needed, a customer can write a check for an
amount greater than the actual balance in his checking account. When
the account is activated the Bank makes automatic deposits in multiples
of $100 to the customer's checking account. Repayments are made
monthly with an interest charge on the average daily balance outstanding.
Card usage in the first six months of operation is also far greater
than anticipated. Over 30 per cent of Wells Fargo's Master Charge
cardholders are actively using their credit card.
More than 60 per cent of these customers have elected to have their
payments made by automatic transfer from their checking accounts.
Loans outstanding in this new service are averaging $4 million monthly.
Developmental costs and operating losses after taxes were in line
with the original estimate of seven cents per share for 1967. Based
on current operating results, Master Charge should make a contribution to profit by the end of 1968-substantially ahead of the original
projections.
8
Plans are now underway to extend the service of Master Charge
on a nationwide interchange basis with banks having similar card programs. The California Bankcard Association is affiliated with INTERBANK, and when the interchange agreements have been implemented
Master Charge cardholders will be able to use their card in many areas
of the United States.
"Master Charge" cardholders near three million,
doubling anticipated figures. About one-third of
California's retail firms, representing two hundred
types of businesses, are participating.

MONEY MANAGEMENT SERVICE: Originally introduced in 1965
as a computer record keeping service for farmers and ranchers, the
Money Management Service has been further developed to provide
similar reports for businesses. This computer service holds great promise and during the year, an extremely diversified business customer
group began using the program.
In March, the International Corporation officially opened its headquarters at 40 Wall Street in New York City, offering a full range of
international banking services. During the balance of the year, the
Bank's subsidiary met its objectives in establishing customer deposits
and loans.
A resident representative was established in Managua, Nicaragua
enabling Wells Fargo to serve its customers more effectively in the
rapidly developing Central American common market.
MARKETING: To market effectively the Bank's services, the marketing structure was reorganized to provide more comprehensive support
for all divisions. In accomplishing this goal, closer coordination has
been effected among marketing planning, advertising, sales training,
research and new services development.
STAGECOACH CHECKS: Capitalizing on Wells Fargo's unique service mark and its Western heritage two new styles of stagecoach checks
wcre introduced in 1967. Both styles were extremely well received and
more than 40 per cent of the checking account customers are now using
purchased checks. The use of interesting graphic designs and colors on
the Bank's checks is helping to attract new customers and indications
are that the new checks are also reducing attrition among established
accounts.
INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES: Both the International Division
and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Wells Fargo Bank International Corporation contributed to the expansion of the international
operations in 1967.

Headquarters of Western American Bank, Ltd., new
London-based international entity formed in 1967
by Wells Fargo, two other large U.S. banks and one
of Britain's leading merchant banks.
Wells Fargo Bank joined with two other U.S. banks-the National
Bank of Detroit and Security First National Bank of Los Angelesand with one of England's leading merchant banks, Hambros Bank,
Ltd., in forming a new London-based banking entity, Western American Bank (Europe) Ltd.
The new international bank has the facilities and resources to assist
multi-national companies with their international financing arrangements. In addition to conducting a general banking business, the new
bank will be active in the market for Eurodollars and other currencies.
Customers will be provided with a variety of financial services, such
as management of short term funds and financial packaging. WAB will
work closely with commercial and investment bankers, as well as other
specialized institutions in international financial circles.
While the Bank's international banking capabilities continue to grow
to meet customer requirements the efforts to significantly increase
international loans and related deposits are severely limited by the

Bank's foreign lending operations to 103 % of the 1964 base.
important bank seminars and conferences, supply visual aids for management meetings and provide a variety of training aids in the field.
Audio-visual communications have the added advantages of dramatic
impact, accuracy and uniformity.
TRUST DIVISION: Research and development was completed on a
new trust program to take advantage of changes in the Self-Employed
Individuals Tax Retirement Act.
NEW EMPLOYEES: The staff increased to 7,611 equivalent full time
employees, a 5.8% increase over 1966. Overcoming the problems of
competition and a tight labor market, the college recruitment program
was successful in attracting 122 graduates for the management training
program. Greater emphasis was placed on recruitment in West Coast
colleges and universities.
The Bank is now marketing this program which enables the selfemployed easily to adopt the Bank's Master Retirement Plan, thereby
taking advantage of our investment facilities.
The pension and profit-sharing segment of the trust business also
continued to grow rapidly during the past year and assets under our
management reached a new record level.
Additional branch trust offices were established in 1967 in Los
Angeles, San Mateo and Carmel. The new Los Angeles office offers
a full complement of trust and investment services to individuals and
corporations. The number of accounts serviced continued to increase,
due in part to a more intensive business development effort. The Trust
Division now services accounts with assets exceeding $5 billion.
BRANCH EXPANSION: Matching the branch expansion program of
the past five years, thirteen new offices were opened in 1967. Eight
of the new offices were in communities not previously served by Wells
Fargo.
Initial pilot productions of new audio-visual equipment demonstrate advantages of television as an
in-bank communications vehicle.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICE: Initiated in late 1962
to broaden the range of financial services available to Wells Fargo
customers, this investment counsel facility completed its fifth year of
operation with a new high in assets under active supervision.
Seaside is within the growing Monterey-Santa Cruz Area. Pleasanton, Danville, Castro Valley and Greenbrae are suburban communities
in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lodi and Madera are farm communities in the San Joaquin Valley. The Madera office is Wells Fargo's first
in Madera County.
Originally conceived for people of means who lacked either the time
or the increasingly specialized knowledge required for effective planning and management of their investment programs, IMS has since
found increasing acceptance among all types of investors-corporations, fiduciaries, schools and other institutions.
10
Branches were also opened near the University of California's new
Santa Cruz campus; Crystal Springs in San Mateo County; the new
Del Monte Shopping Center, Monterey; Florin Center near Sacramento and in Enterprise, a suburb of Redding. At year end, there
were 233 branches. The total includes three branches at military facilities that became complete banking offices in June. Highlighting the
1967 openings were the Market-Montgomery office in the Wells Fargo
Building and the Los Angeles Pershing Square office. Both openings
featured stagecoach parades in the financial districts, bands, historical
exhibits and week-long open houses.
Each account combines flexible portfolio management with an
unusual degree of attention, frequent reports and complete custodial
and bookkeeping services in a single responsive relationship. IMS is a
direct activity of the Financial Analysis Department, one of the West's
largest security research and asset management organizations.
Vast quantities of financial data are sifted and stored
on tape for computer use as an aid to management
in security analysis.
INVESTMENT ANALYSIS AND COMPUTERS: Wells Fargo is
among the leaders in the use of computers as an aid in security analysis.
The ability of the Bank's analysts to handle financial informationcollecting and sifting vast quantities of corporate data, calculating
financial ratios and economic growth rates, making sophisticated industry comparisons and preparing evaluation reports - has increased a
hundred fold. The computers are providing the analysts with a new
statistical tool with which to judge investments more quickly and in
greater depth.
Under development are a number of projects designed to further
expand the use of computers in such areas as price monitoring, measurement of investment performance, company analysis and "market
action" analysis.
VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS: To improve and broaden the scope
of the training programs within the Bank, a new communications
vehicle was placed in operation by the Training Department. Presentations can now be captured by video-tape and used to document
Nine additional offices were relocated in new and larger quarters
and remodeling projects were completed in six offices. In addition to
the Southern California headquarters office opened in Los Angeles
as previously mentioned, these communities are now being served:
Seaside, Pleasanton, Lodi, Castro Valley, Greenbrae, Madera and
Danville.
In 1968 fifteen new offices are scheduled to be opened. Eleven
branches will be enlarged and remodeled, eight others will be located
in new quarters. The largest construction project to be completed will
be the Stockton Main office district headquarters which is scheduled
to move into a milJion dollar three-story building in mid-year.
Foundation pile-driving is under way for 20-story
building in San Francisco which will bouse expanding departments of the Head Office.
Applications have been approved or submitted to regulatory authorities for new branches in Santa Ana, Visalia, Bakersfield, Los Angeles,
Saratoga, Fremont, Aptos, Santa Clara and Concord.
Construction began in October on a new $10 million, 20-story building at 475 Sansome Street in San Francisco as quarters for many of
the expanding departments in the Head Office.
The new building will provide needed parking facilities in the basement and first four floors and a cafeteria on the fifth floor. Completion
is scheduled for July 1969.

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ADJUSTMENT OF 1966 FIGURES: During 1967 the regulatory
authorities issued a ruling that caused the Bank to change its
former practice of charging losses incurred when selling real estate
loans to a reserve and amortizing them over a twelve-year period.
Under our new procedure such losses will be entirely charged off
as a nonoperating deduction in the year incurred. Figures for 1966
were revised to conform to this change in accounting. The principal changes in figures reported in the 1966 Annual Report are
described below.
On the Statement of Condition for December 31, 1966, Accrued
Taxes and Other Expenses decreased $3,20 I ,200 and Reserve for
Unearned Discount increased $3,673,572.
On the Operating Earnings statement, Net Operating Earnings
After Taxes increased $249,950 or three cents per share. On tbe
Nonoperating Earnings Statement there was a net increase of $722,322 in Total Nonoperating Deductions and in Net Nonoperating Deductions. Transfer to Undivided Profits decreased $472,372.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The financial statements
include those of the Bank and two wholly-owned subsidiary companies-Wells Fargo Bank International Corporation, an "Edge
Act" subsidiary, and ATC Building Company, a bank premises
subsidiary. At the end of 1967 total assets of the Wells Fargo Bank
International Corporation were $22,863,809 and those of the ATC
Building Company were $44,175,797.
SECURITIES: Investment securities are carried at cost, adjusted
for amortization of premiums and accumulation of discount. On
December 31, 1967, the market value of investment securities was
approximately $1,076,673,500. Trading account securities are
stated at the lower of cost or market.
PLEDGED ASSETS: On December 3I, 1967, investment securities carried at $73 1,835,038 were pledged to secure public deposits,
trust deposits and other deposits as provided by law.
Bank premises having a net book value of $31,467,395 are
serving as security for the Collateral Trust and Mortgage Bonds
of $23,000,000 issued by ATC Building Company. These bonds
were issued in two series: 4\4 % Series A Bonds, of which $10,500,000 are outstanding and are being retired by annual payments of
$500,000 to 1988; and 4V2 % Series B Bonds, of which $12,500,000
are outstanding and will be retired in annual installments of
$500,000 from 1969 to 1993.
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Bank premises and
equipment are generally carried at cost less accumulated depreciation of $15,814,040 at December 31,1967 and $13,066,551 at
the end of the preceding year. The provision for depreciation and
amortization was $3,880,531 in 1967 and $3,439,078 in J 966.
CAPITAL NOTES: The 4'/2 % capital notes will mature September 15, 1989. There is no sinking fund or other provision for retirement before maturity. The notes are callabl.e at a premium at the
option of the Bank anytime after September 14, 1969.
The 3\4 % convertible capital notes will also mature on September 15, 1989. These notes are convertibl.e into capital stock at
$60 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances as set forth in the indenture. There is no
sinking fund or other provISIon for retirement before maturity
other than by conversion. However, the notes are callable at a
premium at the option of the Bank.
The indentures covering the capital notes and the convertible
capital notes contain certain restrictions relating to maintenance
of minimum amounts of capital funds, payments of dividends, etc.
As of December 3I, 1967, $55,638,552 of undivided profits were
free of restrictions.
The notes are subordinate in right of payment to the claim of
depositors and certain other creditors of the Bank.
EQUITY CAPITAL: At December 31,1967,8,921,567 shares of
$10.00 par val.ue capital stock of the Bank were outstanding out
of an authorized 12,000,000 sbares. Of the authorized but unissued
shares, 422,455 shares are currently reserved for the conversion of
the convertible capital notes, and 61,812 shares are reserved for
issuance to shareholders of Bank of Pasadena pending approval
of this merger by the regulatory authorities. At the year end an
additional J 33,451 shares were reserved for issuance in connection
with the purchase of the Sonoma Mortgage Corporation.

The Reserve for Bad Debts to provide for possible future losses on loans is maintained in accordance with a Treasury Department formula
which determines the amount that may be added to the reserve and taken as a tax deduction. A change in this formula in 1965 permitted
the Bank to substantially increase its reserve. It is the policy of the Bank to add to the reserve each year the maximum amount that may be
claimed as a tax deduction.
