significant assets other than its equity interest in Bank of Manhattan, </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">the Registrant&#146;s
</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">ability to declare
dividends will depend primarily upon dividends it receives from Bank of
Manhattan.&#160; The dividend practice of Bank
of Manhattan, like </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">the Registrant&#146;s </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">dividend practice, will depend upon its earnings,
financial position, current and anticipated cash requirements and other factors
deemed relevant by the Bank of Manhattan&#146;s Board of Directors at the time.&#160; Bank of Manhattan does not intend to pay any
cash dividends in its early years of operations.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Bank of Manhattan&#146;s ability to pay cash dividends to the Registrant is
also subject to certain legal limitations.&#160;
No national bank may, pursuant to 12&nbsp;U.S.C. Section&nbsp;56, pay
dividends from its capital; all dividends must be paid out of net profits then
on hand, after deducting for expenses including losses and bad debts.&#160; The payment of dividends out of net profits
of a national bank is further limited by 12&nbsp;U.S.C. Section&nbsp;60(a)&nbsp;which
prohibits a bank from declaring a dividend on its shares of common stock until
the surplus fund equals the amount of capital stock, or if the surplus fund
does not equal the amount of capital stock, until one-tenth of the bank&#146;s net
profits of the preceding half-year in the case of quarterly or semiannual
dividends, or the preceding two consecutive half-year periods are transferred
to the surplus fund before each dividend is declared.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant to 12&nbsp;U.S.C. Section&nbsp;60(b), the approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared
by Bank of Manhattan in any calendar year shall exceed the total of its net
profits for that year combined with its net profits for the two preceding
years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any
preferred stock.&#160; The Comptroller has
adopted guidelines, which set forth factors which are to be considered by a
national bank in determining the payment of dividends.&#160; A national bank, in assessing the payment of
dividends, is to evaluate the bank&#146;s capital position, its maintenance of an
adequate allowance for loan and lease losses, and the need to review or develop
a comprehensive capital plan, complete with financial projections, budgets and
dividend guidelines.&#160; Therefore, the
payment of dividends by Bank of Manhattan is also governed by its ability to
maintain minimum required capital levels and an adequate allowance for loan and
lease losses.&#160; Additionally, pursuant to
12&nbsp;U.S.C. Section&nbsp;1818(b), the Comptroller may prohibit the payment
of any dividend which would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Registrant&#146;s ability to pay dividends is also limited by state
corporation law.&#160; The California General
Corporation Law prohibits the Registrant from paying dividends on its common stock
unless: (i)&nbsp;its retained earnings, immediately prior to the dividend
payment, equals or exceeds the amount of the dividend or (ii)&nbsp;immediately
after giving effect to the dividend the sum of its assets (exclusive of
goodwill and deferred charges) would be at least equal to 125% of its
liabilities and the current assets of the Registrant would be at least equal to
its current liabilities, or, if the average of its earnings before taxes on
income and before interest expense of the two preceding fiscal years was less
than the average of its interest expense of the two preceding fiscal years, at
least equal to 125% of its current liabilities.</font></p>

declared by the Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors.&#160; The Registrant presently intends to follow a
policy of retaining earnings, if any, for the purpose of increasing the net
worth and reserves of the Registrant.&#160;
Accordingly, it is anticipated that no cash dividends will be declared
in the foreseeable future, and no assurance can be given that the Registrant&#146;s
earnings will permit the payment of dividends of any kind in the future.&#160; The future dividend policy of the Registrant
will be subject to the </font></p>

advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.&#160; In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection which the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</p>

Item 4. 
Description of Securities
The Registrant is authorized to issue ten million (10,000,000) shares
of common stock, without par value, and ten million (10,000,000) shares of
preferred stock, without par value.  A
description of the Registrant's common stock is set forth below.
1
Voting Rights
.  All
voting rights
are vested in the holders of the Registrant's common stock.  The Registrant's shareholders have cumulative
voting rights for the election of directors. 
This means that a shareholder has the right to vote the number of shares
owned by him or her for as many candidates as there are directors to be
elected, or to cumulate his or her shares and give one candidate as many votes
as the number of directors multiplied by the number of shares owned shall
equal, or to distribute them on the same principle among as many candidates as
he or she deems appropriate.
Each share has the same rights, preferences and privileges as every
other share.  Each shareholder is
entitled to one vote per share on any issue requiring a vote at any meeting
(except as described above in connection with the election of directors), and
will be entitled to participate in any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up
on the basis of his or her
pro
rata
share holdings.
Dividends.
As a bank
holding company that currently has no
significant assets other than its equity interest in Bank of Manhattan,
the Registrant's
ability to declare
dividends will depend primarily upon dividends it receives from Bank of
Manhattan.  The dividend practice of Bank
of Manhattan, like
the Registrant's
dividend practice, will depend upon its earnings,
financial position, current and anticipated cash requirements and other factors
deemed relevant by the Bank of Manhattan's Board of Directors at the time.  Bank of Manhattan does not intend to pay any
cash dividends in its early years of operations.
Bank of Manhattan's ability to pay cash dividends to the Registrant is
also subject to certain legal limitations. 
No national bank may, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Section 56, pay
dividends from its capital; all dividends must be paid out of net profits then
on hand, after deducting for expenses including losses and bad debts.  The payment of dividends out of net profits
of a national bank is further limited by 12 U.S.C. Section 60(a) which
prohibits a bank from declaring a dividend on its shares of common stock until
the surplus fund equals the amount of capital stock, or if the surplus fund
does not equal the amount of capital stock, until one-tenth of the bank's net
profits of the preceding half-year in the case of quarterly or semiannual
dividends, or the preceding two consecutive half-year periods are transferred
to the surplus fund before each dividend is declared.
Pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Section 60(b), the approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared
by Bank of Manhattan in any calendar year shall exceed the total of its net
profits for that year combined with its net profits for the two preceding
years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any
preferred stock.  The Comptroller has
adopted guidelines, which set forth factors which are to be considered by a
national bank in determining the payment of dividends.  A national bank, in assessing the payment of
dividends, is to evaluate the bank's capital position, its maintenance of an
adequate allowance for loan and lease losses, and the need to review or develop
a comprehensive capital plan, complete with financial projections, budgets and
dividend guidelines.  Therefore, the
payment of dividends by Bank of Manhattan is also governed by its ability to
maintain minimum required capital levels and an adequate allowance for loan and
lease losses.  Additionally, pursuant to
12 U.S.C. Section 1818(b), the Comptroller may prohibit the payment
of any dividend which would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice.
The Registrant's ability to pay dividends is also limited by state
corporation law.  The California General
Corporation Law prohibits the Registrant from paying dividends on its common stock
unless: (i) its retained earnings, immediately prior to the dividend
payment, equals or exceeds the amount of the dividend or (ii) immediately
after giving effect to the dividend the sum of its assets (exclusive of
goodwill and deferred charges) would be at least equal to 125% of its
liabilities and the current assets of the Registrant would be at least equal to
its current liabilities, or, if the average of its earnings before taxes on
income and before interest expense of the two preceding fiscal years was less
than the average of its interest expense of the two preceding fiscal years, at
least equal to 125% of its current liabilities.
Shareholders are entitled to receive dividends only when and if
declared by the Registrant's Board of Directors.  The Registrant presently intends to follow a
policy of retaining earnings, if any, for the purpose of increasing the net
worth and reserves of the Registrant. 
Accordingly, it is anticipated that no cash dividends will be declared
in the foreseeable future, and no assurance can be given that the Registrant's
earnings will permit the payment of dividends of any kind in the future.  The future dividend policy of the Registrant
will be subject to the
2
discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend
upon a number of factors, including future earnings, financial condition,
liquidity, and general business conditions.

Item 9. 
Undertakings
(a)
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii)
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant
to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
3
(2)
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4)
That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities
Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities:  The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in
a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this
registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the
securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned
Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or
sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to
the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of
the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned
Registrant:
(iii)
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its
securities provided by or on behalf the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
Registrant to the purchaser.
(b)
the
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection which the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
