Item 2.02 Results of Operation and Financial Condition.

On March 17, 2006, Greater Bay Bancorp (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting revised fourth quarter and year end 2005 results due to the pay-offs of two loan relationships that occurred after the Company’s earnings announcement on February 1, 2006. The pay-offs constituted subsequent events which provided additional evidence concerning the realizability of these loans as of December 31, 2005. By this amendment to the Form 8-K originally filed on February 1, 2006, the Company hereby amends the information contained in the original Form 8-K and the February 1, 2006 earnings release.

The text of the March 17, 2006 press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The information included in the press release is considered to be “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Final operating results for the year ended December 31, 2005 will be reflected in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company also announced that it filed a Form 12b-25 with respect to the late filing of its Form 10-K relating to the finalization of its consolidated statements of cash flows and completion of its internal control assessment. The Company intends to file its Form 10-K on or before March 31, 2006.
