                    ITLA CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements of ITLA Capital Corporation
("ITLA Capital") included herein reflect all normal recurring adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the
results for the interim period indicated. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of ITLA Capital and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Imperial Capital Bank (the "Bank"), ITLA Commercial Securitization
Corporation ("ITLA CSC"), ICCMAC Multifamily and Commercial Trust 1999-1 (the
"Trust"), ITLA Commercial Investment Corporation, and ITLA Funding Corporation.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain
information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations for the remainder of the year.

     These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in ITLA Capital's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION OF ICCMAC MULTIFAMILY AND COMMERCIAL TRUST 1999-1

     On March 28, 2000, ITLA Capital completed the acquisition of the Trust. The
acquisition of the Trust has been recorded using the purchase method of
accounting. At the time of the acquisition, the Trust contained $254.4 million
of loans, consisting of approximately 35 percent commercial and 65 percent
multi-family real estate loans. The Trust's loans are held as collateral for
$205.4 million of bonds in the form of collateralized mortgage obligations
("CMO's"). ITLA Capital's investment in the Trust is held through ITLA CSC, its
qualified Real Estate Investment Trust subsidiary. ITLA Capital paid $51.1
million to acquire 100 percent of the equity and certain CMO's of the Trust. The
accounts of the Trust as of March 31, 2000 and for the period from March 28 to
March 31, 2000 have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements of ITLA Capital.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic Earnings Per Share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted Earnings Per Share ("Diluted EPS") reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in
the issuance of common stock which shared in the earnings of ITLA Capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

NET INCOME

     Net income totaled $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared to $3.9 million for the corresponding period in 1999, an increase of
8.4 percent. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net
interest income and a decrease in the provision for estimated credit losses.
Diluted EPS was $0.58 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to
$0.53 for the corresponding period in 1999, an increase of 9.4 percent.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in interest income
and interest expense resulting from changes in average interest-earning asset
and interest-bearing liability balances (volume) and changes in average interest
rates (rate). The change in interest due to both volume and rate have been
allocated to change due to volume and rate in proportion to the relationship of
absolute dollar amounts of each.

</TABLE>

     Total interest income increased by $2.4 million in the first quarter of
2000 compared to the corresponding period in 1999 due primarily to increases in
the average balances of real estate loans held for investment and real estate
loans held in trust for collateralized mortgage obligations and an increase in
the yield earned on cash and investment securities, partially offset by a
decline in the yield earned on real estate loans held for investment and in the
average balance of cash and investment securities.

     The average balance of real estate loans held for investment increased to
$957.0 million in the first quarter of 2000 from $880.0 million in the
corresponding period of the prior year, an increase of $77.0 million, or 8.7
percent. This increase in the average balance resulted primarily from purchases
of single family residential mortgages, partially offset by a slight decline in
loans secured by income producing real estate. Purchased single family
residential loans had an average balance of $86.7 million in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, compared to none in the prior year. The average yield earned on
real estate loans held for investment declined to 10.34 percent in the current
period from 10.51 percent in the prior year. The decline in the yield on real
estate loans held for investment was primarily due to the decline in fees
received when loans pay off prior to maturity. Excluding loan prepayments and
other nonrecurring loan interest and fee income, the yields would have been
10.36 percent in the current period compared to 10.26 percent in the prior year.

     The yield on cash and investment securities increased to 5.80 percent for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to 4.62 percent in the corresponding
period of the prior year. The increase in yield on cash and investment
securities resulted partially from the dividend yield earned on ITLA Capital's
investment in common stock of Imperial Credit Commercial Mortgage Investment
Corporation ("ICMI"), and also due to the general increase in market interest
rates on cash and cash equivalent investments in the first quarter of 2000
compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

     Total interest expense increased by $2.1 million in the first quarter of
2000 compared to the corresponding period in 1999 due to an increase in the
average balance of deposit accounts


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

and collateralized mortgage obligations and an increase in the cost of funds,
partially offset by a decline in the average balance of FHLB advances. The
average balance of deposit accounts increased $71.7 million to $906.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $835.1 million in the
corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in deposits was used to
fund the increase in the loan portfolio discussed above. The cost of funds
increased to 5.76 percent for the 2000 first quarter from 5.32 percent during
the corresponding period in 1999. This increase in funding costs was consistent
with the general increase in market interest rates. FHLB advances averaged $33.3
million in the current period, compared to $38.4 million in the prior year, a
decline of $5.1 million, or 13.3 percent.

PROVISION FOR ESTIMATED CREDIT LOSSES

     Management periodically assesses the adequacy of the allowance for credit
losses by reference to many factors which may be weighted differently at various
times depending on prevailing conditions. These factors include, among other
elements, general portfolio trends relative to asset and portfolio size, asset
categories, credit and geographic concentrations, nonaccrual loan levels,
historical loss experience and risks associated with changes in economic, social
and business conditions. Accordingly, the calculation of the adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses is not based solely on the level of nonperforming
assets. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses as of March 31,
2000 was adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan
portfolio at that date. While management believes the estimates and assumptions
used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there
can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven
incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not
exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may
be required will not adversely impact ITLA Capital's financial condition and
results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the
allowance for credit losses is subject to review by the Bank's regulators, as
part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment
of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to
them at the time of their examination.

     The provision for estimated credit losses decreased to $0.6 million in the
first quarter of 2000 from $1.2 million in the corresponding period in 1999. The
decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the real estate loan
portfolio held for investment which was lower due to a significant decrease in
loan production during the March 2000 quarter as compared to the same period in
1999. In addition, nonperforming assets declined both in total dollars and as a
percentage of total assets (excluding the acquisition of the Trust) at March 31,
2000 compared to both December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999.

     Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased to 0.71
percent as of March 31, 2000, compared to 0.81 percent at December 31, 1999. The
aggregate amount of nonperforming assets increased slightly to $9.1 million as
of March 31, 2000 ($8.4 million from the Bank and $0.7 million from the Trust)
from $9.0 million (all from the Bank) at December 31, 1999. See also "Financial
Condition - Nonperforming Assets and Allowance for Credit Losses."

<PAGE>   11


NONINTEREST INCOME

     Noninterest income totaled $1.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000 compared to $0.3 million for the corresponding period in 1999. The
increase in noninterest income was due primarily to the gain realized on the
sale of ITLA Capital's investment in ICMI stock. ITLA Capital purchased
1,426,000 ICMI shares for an average cost of $10.35 per share during the second
quarter of 1999. During the current period, ITLA Capital sold its investment in
ICMI, realizing a net gain of $1.4 million.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

     Noninterest expense totaled $6.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000, consisting of $5.3 million of recurring and $1.4 million of
nonrecurring general and administrative expenses and $0.1 million of real estate
operations, net. In the prior year, noninterest expense totaled $5.1 million,
consisting entirely of recurring general and administrative expenses. The
increase in noninterest expense in the current period was due primarily to the
nonrecurring general and administrative expense recorded in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000. These nonrecurring expenses consist primarily of the write-off
of fixed assets, leasehold improvements and costs related to sublease contracts
on leased premises at market rates that are lower than the contractual lease
rate. These expenses were the result of the consolidation of the Bank's
headquarters with ITLA Capital's headquarters in La Jolla, California, effective
during the March 2000 quarter.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2000, ITLA Capital's ratio of
consolidated recurring general and administrative expense to average assets, on
an annualized basis, decreased to 1.94 percent compared from 2.04 percent in the
1999 quarter. ITLA Capital's efficiency ratio (excluding real estate operations
and nonrecurring general and administrative expenses) was 36.3 percent for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to 39.4 percent during the corresponding
period in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS

     Liquidity refers to ITLA Capital's ability to maintain cash flow adequate
to fund operations and meet obligations and other commitments on a timely basis,
including the payment of maturing deposits and the origination or purchase of
new loans receivable. ITLA Capital maintains a cash and investment securities
portfolio designed to satisfy operating and regulatory liquidity requirements
while preserving capital and maximizing yield. As of March 31, 2000, ITLA
Capital held approximately $13.4 million of cash and cash equivalents
(consisting primarily of short-term investments with original maturities of 90
days or less) and $43.0 million of investment securities classified as available
for sale. Short-term fixed income investments classified as cash equivalents
consisted of government money market funds and short-term government agency
securities, while investment securities available for sale consisted primarily
of fixed income instruments which were rated "AAA" or equivalent by nationally
recognized rating agencies.

     As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Bank's liquidity ratios
were 5.4 percent and 11.8 percent, respectively, exceeding the regulatory
requirement of 1.5 percent. In addition, The Bank's liquidity position is
supported by a credit facility with the FHLB with an available borrowing
capacity of $56.9 million based on collateral pledged, and by federal funds
lines of credit with two major banks with an available borrowing capacity of
$30.0 million.

     Total deposit accounts decreased to $909.2 million at March 31, 2000 from
$913.6 million at December 31, 1999. ITLA Capital retained a significant amount
of the funds which matured through rollover of maturing deposit accounts during
the three months ended March 31, 2000. Although ITLA Capital competes for
deposits primarily on the basis of rates, management believes that a significant
portion of deposits will remain with ITLA Capital upon maturity on an ongoing
basis based on its historical experience regarding retention of deposits.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of March 31, 2000, the Bank's Leverage (Core), Tier I and Total
Risk-Based capital ratios were 8.4 percent, 9.2 percent and 10.5 percent,
respectively. These ratios were 9.0 percent, 10.1 percent and 11.4 percent,
respectively, as of December 31, 1999. The decline in capital ratios from
December 31, 1999 to March 31, 2000 was due to the payment of a $14.3 million
cash dividend from the Bank to ITLA Capital. These funds were utilized by ITLA
Capital to complete the acquisition of 100 percent of the equity and certain
CMO's of the Trust. The minimum regulatory requirement for Leverage (Core), Tier
I and Total Risk-Based capital are 4.0 percent, 4.0 percent and 8.0 percent,
respectively. As of March 31, 2000, the Bank's capital position was designated
as "well capitalized" for regulatory purposes.

     ITLA Capital's shareholders' equity increased $2.7 million from December
31, 1999 to March 31, 2000 primarily due to the accumulation of $4.2 million in
net income, partially offset by the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on
investment securities available for sale of $0.9 million and purchases of
treasury stock of $0.7 million. There were no dividends declared or paid by ITLA
Capital during the first three months of 2000.

MARKET RISK

     ITLA Capital's estimated sensitivity to interest rate risk, as measured by
the estimated interest earnings sensitivity profile and the interest sensitivity
gap analysis, has not materially changed from the information disclosed in ITLA
Capital's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
