Item 1. Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) and in Management's opinion, include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for
such interim periods. Certain information and disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules or regulations;
however, the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.

The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year. It is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
the notes included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December
31, 2001.

Certain amounts previously reported in the 2001 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. These reclassifications did
not affect previously reported net income or total shareholders' equity.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141),
and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001
and specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method
business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from
goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives no longer be amortized after 2001, but instead be periodically
evaluated for impairment. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are
required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their
estimated residual values, and also reviewed for impairment.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company was required to adopt the provisions of
SFAS 142. Accordingly, any goodwill and any intangible asset determined to have
an indefinite useful life that are acquired in a purchase business combination
will not be amortized, but will continue to be evaluated for impairment in
accordance with the appropriate accounting literature. The Company was also
required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all such intangible
assets and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by March 31, 2002.
No such adjustments were required to be made.

In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is identified as having an
indefinite useful life, the Company was required to test the intangible asset
for impairment in the first quarter of 2002. The Company has no intangibles with
indefinite useful life.

As of the date of adoption, the Company had identifiable intangible assets
consisting of core deposit premiums and minimum pension liability. Core deposit
premiums are amortized using an accelerated method over a period of ten years.
Intangible assets related to minimum pension liability are adjusted annually
based upon actuarial estimates. The Company has no goodwill (unidentifiable
intangible assets). As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company had
unamortized core deposit premiums of $4,097,000 and $4,553,000, respectively.
Amortization of core deposit premiums was $454,000 during the first six months
of 2002 and 2001. Core deposit premiums are scheduled to amortize at a rate of
$228,000 per quarter through the quarter ended December 31, 2006.



Note B - Comprehensive Income

For the Company, comprehensive income includes net income reported on the
statement of income, changes in the fair value of its available-for-sale
investments and changes in minimum pension liability reported as other
comprehensive income. The following table presents net income adjusted by these
elements to determine total comprehensive income (in thousands).

Note D - Business Segments

The Company is principally engaged in traditional community banking activities
provided through its twenty-nine branches and eight in-store branches located
throughout Northern California. Community banking activities include the Bank's
commercial and retail lending, deposit gathering and investment and liquidity
management activities. In addition to its community banking services, the Bank
offers investment brokerage and leasing services.

The results of the separate branches have been aggregated into a single
reportable segment, Community Banking. The Company's leasing, investment
brokerage and real estate segments do not meet prescribed aggregation or
materiality criteria and, therefore, are reported as "Other" in the following
table.

Summarized financial information concerning the Bank's reportable segments is as
follows (in thousands):

Note E - Noninterest Income

Included in the results for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the three
months ended March 31, 2001 is a one-time pre-tax income item of $1,756,000.
This one-time item represents the realized gain recorded by the Company upon the
sale of 88,796 common shares of John Hancock Financial Services, Inc. (JHF) for
proceeds of $3,265,000.


Note F - Stock Repurchase Plan

On March 15, 2001, the Company announced the completion of its stock repurchase
plan initially announced on July 20, 2000. Under this repurchase plan, the
Company repurchased a total of 150,000 shares of which 110,000 shares were
repurchased since December 31, 2000.

On October 19, 2001, the Company announced the completion of its stock
repurchase plan initially announced on March 15, 2001. Under this repurchase
plan, the Company repurchased a total of 150,000 shares.

Also on October 19, 2001, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
approved a new plan to repurchase, as conditions warrant, up to 150,000
additional shares of the Company's stock on the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions. The timing of purchases and the exact number of shares
to be purchased will depend on market conditions. The 150,000 shares covered by
this repurchase plan represent approximately 2.2% of the Company's 6,992,080
common shares outstanding on October 19, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, the
Company repurchased 108,800 shares under this new plan. During the quarters
ended March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, the Company repurchased 10,000 and 0
shares under this new plan, respectively.

Note G - Shareholder Rights Plan

On June 25, 2001, the Company announced that its Board of Directors adopted and
entered into a Shareholder Rights Plan designed to protect and maximize
shareholder value and to assist the Board of Directors in ensuring fair and
equitable benefit to all shareholders in the event of a hostile bid to acquire
the Company.

The Company adopted this Rights Plan to protect stockholders from coercive or
otherwise unfair takeover tactics. In general terms, the Rights Plan imposes a
significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires 15% or more of the
Company's outstanding common stock without the approval of the Company's Board
of Directors. The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any known attempt
to acquire control of the Company.

Under the Rights Plan, a dividend of one Preferred Stock Purchase Right was
declared for each common share held of record as of the close of business on
July 10, 2001. No separate certificates evidencing the Rights will be issued
unless and until they become exercisable.

The Rights generally will not become exercisable unless an acquiring entity
accumulates or initiates a tender offer to purchase 15% or more of the Company's
common stock. In that event, each Right will entitle the holder, other than the
unapproved acquirer and its affiliates, to purchase either the Company's common
stock or shares in an acquiring entity at one-half of market value.

The Right's initial exercise price, which is subject to adjustment, is $49.00.
The Company's Board of Directors generally will be entitled to redeem the Rights
at a redemption price of $.01 per Right until an acquiring entity acquires a 15%
position. The Rights expire on July 10, 2011.





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

As TriCo Bancshares (the "Company") has not commenced any business operations
independent of Tri Counties Bank (the "Bank"), the following discussion pertains
primarily to the Bank. Average balances, including such balances used in
calculating certain financial ratios, are generally comprised of average daily
balances for the Company. Within Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, interest income and net interest
income are generally presented on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) basis.

In addition to the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly
Report contains certain forward-looking statements. The reader of this Quarterly
Report should understand that all such forward-looking statements are subject to
various uncertainties and risks that could affect their outcome. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, variances in the actual versus
projected growth in assets, return on assets, loan losses, expenses, rates
charged on loans and earned on securities investments, rates paid on deposits,
competition effects, fee and other noninterest income earned as well as other
factors. This entire Quarterly Report should be read to put such forward-looking
statements in context and to gain a more complete understanding of the
uncertainties and risks involved in the Company's business.

The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. 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 the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses, investments, intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies. The
Company bases its estimates on 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. (See caption "Allowance for Loan Losses" for a more detailed
discussion).

The following discussion and analysis is designed to provide a better
understanding of the significant changes and trends related to the Company and
its subsidiaries' financial condition, operating results, asset and liability
management, liquidity and capital resources and should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the Notes thereto.

Overview

The Company had earnings of $3,365,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The
quarterly earnings represent an 18.6% increase over the $2,837,000 reported for
the same period of 2001. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of
2002 were $0.47 versus $0.39 in the year earlier period. Earnings for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 were $6,694,000 versus year ago results of
$5,816,000, and represented a 15.1% increase. The diluted earnings per share
were $0.93 and $0.80 for the respective six-month periods. Included in the
results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and the six months ended June
30, 2001, was a one-time pre-tax gain of $1,756,000 from the sale of insurance
company stock. Excluding the one-time gain noted above, the Company would have
reported diluted earnings per share of $0.93 and $0.65 in the six month periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



The improvement in results from the year-ago quarter was due to a $930,000
(7.6%) increase in fully tax-equivalent net interest income to $13,222,000, a
$275,000 (35.5%) decrease in provision for loan losses to $500,000, and a
$366,000 (10.2%) increase in noninterest income to $3,943,000. These
contributing factors were partially offset by a $730,000 (7.1%) increase in
noninterest expense to $10,963,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.

The improvement in results for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 compared
to the results for the six month period ended June 30, 2001 was due to a
$2,283,000 (9.5%) increase in fully tax-equivalent net interest income to
$26,222,000, a $1,350,000 (50.9%) decrease in provision for loan losses to
$1,300,000, and a $920,000 (13.4%) increase in noninterest income to $7,769,000
from $6,849,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, and excluding the
one-time gain of $1,756,000 from the sale of insurance company stock in the six
months ended June 30, 2001. These contributing factors were partially offset by
a $1,393,000 (7.0%) increase in noninterest expense to $21,365,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002.

During the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company's net interest
margin was 5.74% and 5.59%, respectively, on interest-earning asset balances
averaging $921,486,000 and $880,068,000, respectively. These improvements in
both net interest margin and interest earning asset balances resulted in a
$930,000 (7.6%) increase in fully tax-equivalent net interest income to

Net Interest Income / Net Interest Margin

Net interest income represents the excess of interest and fees earned on
interest-earning assets (loans, securities and Federal Funds sold) over the
interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest margin is net
interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. Net
interest income comprises the major portion of the Bank's income.

Throughout the first six months of 2002, the Fed Reserve Bank maintained the Fed
funds target rate 1.75%. In comparison, the Fed funds target rate fell from
6.50% to 3.75% during the first six months of 2001. The Fed funds target rate is
an important rate because the prime lending rate generally tracks the Fed funds
rate, and the interest rates on most of the Company's variable rate loans are
tied to the prime lending rate. When the Fed funds target rate changes as
drastically as it has, the Company must be able to appropriately adjust the rate
it pays on its deposits, or the mix of its deposits, if it is to maintain its
net interest margin at a high level. Through out 2001, and during the first six
months of 2002, the Company has been successful in adjusting its deposit rates
and the mix of its deposit in order to maintain its net interest margin at a
relatively high level.

For the three months ended June 30, 2002, interest income on a fully
tax-equivalent basis decreased $2,214,000 (11.9%) over the same period in 2001.
The average balance of total earning assets was higher by $41,418,000 (4.7%).
Average loan and securities balances were up $9,933,000 (1.6%) and $42,741,000
(22.3%), respectively, while average Fed funds sold balances were down
$11,256,000 (22.6%). The average yield on loans, securities and Fed funds sold
was lower by 132, 104 and 265 basis points respectively. The overall yield on
average earning assets decreased 134 basis points to 7.12%.

For the second quarter of 2001, interest expense decreased $3,144,000 (49.7%)
over the year earlier period. The average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities was up $20,772,000 (2.9%). The average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities decreased 182 basis points to 1.74% from the year-ago quarter.

The combined effect of the decreases in interest income and interest expense for
the second quarter of 2002 versus 2001 resulted in an increase of $930,000
(7.6%) in fully tax-equivalent net interest income. Fully tax-equivalent net
interest margin was up 15 basis points to 5.74% from 5.59% for the same periods
in 2002 and 2001.

The six-month period ending June 30, 2002, reflects a fully tax-equivalent
interest income decrease of $4,793,000 (12.8%) over the same period in 2001. The
average balance of total earning assets was higher by $33,742,000 (3.8%).
Average loan and securities balances were up $9,637,000 (1.53%) and $25,057,000
(12.4%), respectively, while average fed funds sold balances were down $952,000
(2.4%). The average yield on loans, securities and Fed funds sold was lower by
132, 104 and 304 basis points respectively. The overall yield on average earning
assets decreased 137 basis points to 7.16%.

Interest expense for the six-month period end June 30, 2002 decreased $7,076,000
(52.4%) from the same period in 2001. The average balance of total
interest-bearing liabilities increased $13,678,000 (1.9%). The average rate paid
on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 202 basis points to 1.78%.



The net effect of the decreases in fully tax-equivalent interest income and
interest expense for the first six months of 2002 versus 2001 was an increase of
$2,283,000 (9.5%) in fully tax-equivalent net interest income. Fully
tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 30 basis points to 5.75% from
5.45%.

The following four tables provide summaries of the components of the fully
tax-equivalent interest income, interest expense and fully tax-equivalent net
interest margin on earning assets for the quarter and six month periods ended
June 30, 2002 versus the same periods in 2001.

and $2,650,000 for loan losses, respectively. Net charge-offs for all loans
during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $745,000 and $2,400,000,
respectively. Included in the net charge-offs during the six months ended June

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $366,000 (10.2%) to $3,943,000 in the quarter ended
June 30, 2002 from $3,577,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase
in noninterest income from the year-ago quarter was mainly due to a $190,000
(34.6%) increase in commissions on sales of non-deposit investment products to
$738,000, an $83,000 (23.4%) increase in ATM fees to $438,000, and a $61,000
(12.7%) increase in gain on sale of loans to $539,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, noninterest income was down $836,000
(9.7%) over the same period for 2001. Included in the results of the six months
ended June 30, 2001, and the three months ended March 31, 2001 was a one-time
pre-tax income item of $1,756,000 from the sale of insurance company stock.
Excluding this one-time event, noninterest income for the six months ended June
30, 2002 would have increased $920,000 (13.4%) to $7,769,000 from 6,849,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2001. Service charges and fee income was up
$144,000 (3.6%) to $4,114,000 mainly due to increased ATM fees. Other income
increased $776,000 (27.0%) to $3,655,000. Accounting for the increase in other
income was a $704,000 (88.2%) increase in gain on sale of loans from $798,000 to
$1,502,000, and a $92,000 (7.8%) increase in commissions on the sale of

ended June 30, 2002 from $10,233,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. This
increase in noninterest expense was mainly due to a $566,000 (10.9%) increase in
salary and benefit expense to $5,773,000. Compared to the year-ago quarter, base
salaries were up $163,000 (4.6%) to $3,704,000 while commissions and other sales

Nonperforming Loans

As shown in the following table, total nonperforming assets net of guarantees of
the U.S. Government, including its agencies and its government-sponsored
agencies, have increased $3,483,000 (56.9%) to $9,604,000 in the first six
months of 2002. Nonperforming assets net of guarantees represent 0.93% of total
assets. Included in the balance of nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2002, are loans
to one agriculture related borrower totaling $10,952,000 of which $8,444,000 is
guaranteed by a U.S. Government sponsored agency as to principal and ninety days
of interest. To date, the borrower has paid principal and interest in accordance
with the terms of the loans, however, due to the financial condition of the
borrower the Company has placed the loans in nonaccrual status. All nonaccrual
loans are considered to be impaired when determining the need for a specific
valuation allowance. The Company continues to make a concerted effort to work
problem and potential problem loans to reduce risk of loss.

Allowance for Loan Loss

Credit risk is inherent in the business of lending. As a result, the Company
maintains an Allowance for Loan Losses to absorb losses inherent in the
Company's loan portfolio. This is maintained through periodic charges to
earnings. These charges are shown in the Consolidated Income Statements as
provision for loan losses. All specifically identifiable and quantifiable losses
are immediately charged off against the allowance. However, for a variety of
reasons, not all losses are immediately known to the Company and, of those that
are known, the full extent of the loss may not be quantifiable at that point in
time. The balance of the Company's Allowance for Loan Losses is meant to be an
estimate of these unknown but probable losses inherent in the portfolio. For
purposes of this discussion, "loans" shall include all loans and lease
contracts, that are part of the Company's portfolio.

The Company formally assesses the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly
basis. Determination of the adequacy is based on ongoing assessments of the
probable risk in the outstanding loan portfolio, and to a lesser extent the
Company's loan commitments. These assessments include the periodic re-grading of
credits based on changes in their individual credit characteristics including
delinquency, seasoning, recent financial performance of the borrower, economic
factors, changes in the interest rate environment, growth of the portfolio as a
whole or by segment, and other factors as warranted. Loans are initially graded
when originated. They are re-graded as they are renewed, when there is a new
loan to the same borrower, when identified facts demonstrate heightened risk of
nonpayment, or if they become delinquent. Re-grading of larger problem loans
occur at least quarterly. Confirmation of the quality of the grading process is
obtained by independent credit reviews conducted by consultants specifically
hired for this purpose and by various bank regulatory agencies.

The Company's method for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes
specific allowances for identified problem loans and leases as determined by
SFAS 114, formula allowance factors for pools of credits, and allowances for
changing environmental factors (e.g., interest rates, growth, economic
conditions, etc.). Allowance factors for loan pools are based on the previous 5
years historical loss experience by product type. Allowances for specific loans
are based on SFAS 114 analysis of individual credits. Allowances for changing
environmental factors are Management's best estimate of the probable impact
these changes have had on the loan portfolio as a whole. This process is
explained in detail in the notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2001.

Liquidity

The Company's principal source of asset liquidity is fed funds sold and
marketable investment securities available for sale. At June 30, 2002, fed funds
sold and investment securities available for sale totaled $262 million,
representing an increase of $19 million from December 31, 2001. In addition, the
Company generates additional liquidity from its operating activities. The
Company's profitability during the first six months of 2002 and 2001 generated
cash flows from operations of $9.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively.
Additional cash flows may be provided by financing activities, primarily the
acceptance of deposits and borrowings from banks. During the six months ended
June 30, 2002, sales & maturities of investment securities produced cash inflows
of $60.1 million. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company
invested $67.4 million and $12.3 million in securities and net loan growth.
These changes in investment and loan balances contributed to net cash used for
investing activities of $20.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Financing activities provided net cash of $14.7 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2002. Deposit balance increases, and exercise of common stock
options, accounted for $17.5 million and $201,000 of financing sources of funds,
respectively. Dividends paid and the repurchase of common stock used $2.8
million and $190,000 of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2002,
respectively. Also, the Holding Company's liquidity is dependent on dividends
received from the Bank. Dividends from the Bank are subject to certain
regulatory restrictions.
