            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 and six months ended June 30, 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 - 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.

        The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of Basic and
Diluted EPS.

        As of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the recorded investment in
loans receivable that were considered impaired as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 was $10.5 million and $20.3 million,
respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $13.3

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS


        The following discussion and analysis is intended to identify the major
factors that influenced the financial condition and results of operations of
ITLA Capital as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000.

Act of 1995: This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are subject
to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changes in economic
conditions in ITLA Capital's market areas, changes in policies by regulatory
agencies, the impact of competitive loan products, loan demand risks,
fluctuations in interest rates and operating results and other risks detailed
from time to time in ITLA Capital's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. ITLA Capital cautions readers not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. ITLA Capital does not undertake and specifically
disclaims any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the
occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the

for 2000 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, ITLA Capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

NET INCOME

        Net income totaled $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $4.0 million for the corresponding period in 1999, an increase of
14.2 percent. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net
interest income and a decrease in noninterest expense. Diluted EPS was $0.63 for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $0.54 for the corresponding
period in 1999, an increase of 16.7 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 $6.7 million in the second quarter of
2000 compared to the corresponding period in 1999 due primarily to the addition
of real estate loans as a result of the Trust acquisition in the first quarter
of 2000, and to a lesser extent, due to increases in the yields earned on real
estate loans and cash and investment securities. These increases were partially
offset by a decline in the average balance of cash and investment securities.

        The average balance of loans held in the Trust was $255.3 million during
the three months ended June 30, 2000. The average balance of real estate loans
increased to $947.2 million in the second quarter of 2000 from $911.2 million in
the corresponding period of the prior year, an increase of $36.0 million, or 3.9
percent. This increase was due to purchases of single family residential
mortgages, partially offset by a decrease in loans secured by income producing
properties. Purchased single family residential loans had an average balance of
$107.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to $13.4 million
in the same period in the prior year, while loans secured by income producing
real estate properties had an average balance of $839.4 million during the
current year compared to $897.9 million in the same period in the prior year.
The average yield earned on real estate loans increased to 10.52 percent in the
current quarterly period from 10.28 percent in the same period in the prior
year, due to repricing of variable rate loans at higher interest rates due to
the general market increases in the LIBOR and Prime rates that the loans are
indexed to. The increase in loan yields due to repricing was partially offset by
the increased balance of single family residential mortgages, which generally
have lower effective yields than the Company's commercial real estate loans.

        The yield on cash and investment securities increased to 6.59 percent
for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to 6.00 percent in the
corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in yield on cash and
investment securities was due to the general increase in market interest rates.
The average balance of cash and investment securities decreased to $66.7 million
in the 2000 second quarter from $99.9 million in the corresponding period in the
prior year, as the Company reduced its excess liquidity due to lower loan
production.

        Total interest expense increased by $6.1 million in the first quarter of
2000 compared to the corresponding period in 1999 due primarily to the
collateralized mortgage obligations

("CMO"s) issued by the Trust and an increase in the average balance of deposit
accounts, and to a lesser extent, an increase in the cost of funds, partially
offset by a decline in the average balance of FHLB advances.

        The CMOs had an average balance of $201.8 million during the second
quarter of 2000. The average balance of deposit accounts increased $53.6 million
to $897.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $843.5
million in the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in deposits
was used to fund the growth in the loan portfolio and the acquisition of certain
CMO's of the Trust. The cost of funds increased to 6.28 percent for the 2000
second quarter from 5.24 percent during the corresponding period in 1999. This
increase in funding costs was due primarily to the general increase in market
interest rates, and to a lesser extent, due to the addition of the CMOs, which
have a weighted average interest rate higher than the weighted average interest
rate on the Bank's deposits. FHLB advances averaged $31.9 million in the current
period, compared to $43.7 million in the prior year, a decline of $11.8 million,
or 27.0 percent. FHLB advances are used primarily for short-term borrowings, and
the decline in FHLB advances was consistent with the decline in liquidity.

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 June 30,
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 totaled $1.2 million in the
second quarter of 2000, the same as in the prior year. The provision for
estimated credit losses was recorded to provide for reserves due to increases in
purchased residential loans and commercial real estate loan originations. The
allowance for estimated credit losses was 2.20 percent of total real estate
loans at June 30, 2000 as compared to 2.05 percent at December 31, 1999.

        Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased slightly
to 0.84 percent as of June 30, 2000, compared to 0.81 percent at December 31,
1999. The aggregate amount of nonperforming assets totaled $10.9 million as of
June 30, 2000 ($9.3 million of loans held by the Bank and $1.6 million of loans
held by the Trust) as compared to $9.0 million at December 31, 1999. See also

NONINTEREST INCOME

        Noninterest income totaled $0.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000 compared to $0.3 million for the corresponding period in the prior
year. The decline in noninterest income was due primarily to a decline in loan
processing fees.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

        Noninterest expense totaled $5.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000, compared to $5.6 million for the corresponding period in the prior
year. The decline in noninterest expense was due primarily to decreases in
compensation and benefits, which totaled $2.4 million in the quarter ending June
30, 2000 compared to $2.7 million in the corresponding period of the prior year
and in real estate operations, net, which resulted in $54,000 of income in the
current quarter, compared to $147,000 of expense in the second quarter of the
prior year. Compensation and benefits expense decreased due to a reduction in
staffing, as average full time equivalent associates decreased to 112 during the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to 132 during the corresponding period in
the prior year. The decrease in headcount was due to the reduction of
approximately 15 percent of the workforce during the third quarter of 1999 as a
result of a decrease in loan production and general cost savings initiatives.
Real estate operations, net decreased primarily due to the gain realized on sale
of a foreclosed property during the second quarter of this year.

        For the three months ended June 30, 2000, ITLA Capital's ratio of
consolidated general and administrative expense to average assets, on an
annualized basis, decreased to 1.60 percent compared from 2.15 percent in the
1999 second quarter. ITLA Capital's efficiency ratio (excluding real estate
operations) was 36.4 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to
40.0 percent during the corresponding period in the prior year.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

NET INCOME

        Net income totaled $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $7.9 million for the corresponding period in 1999, an increase of
11.4 percent. The increase in net income was due primarily to an increase in net
interest income and a decrease in the provision for estimated credit losses,
partially offset by a decrease in the provision for income taxes. Diluted EPS
was $1.21 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $1.08 for the
corresponding period in 1999, an increase of 12.0 percent.

</TABLE>

        Total interest income increased by $9.1 million in the first half of
2000 compared to the corresponding period in 1999. This increase was due
primarily to the addition of real estate loans as a result of the Trust
acquisition in the first quarter of 2000, the increase in the average balance of
real estate loans, and to a lesser extent, to the increases in the average
yields on cash and investment securities and real estate loans. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of cash and
investment securities.

        The average balance of real estate loans held in the Trust was $133.4
million for the six month period ending June 30, 2000. The average balance of
real estate loans increased to $949.0 million in the current year-to-date period
compared to $895.7 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, due
primarily to purchases of single family residential mortgages. The
weighted-average yield of real estate loans increased to 10.46 percent in the
current year-to-date period, compared to 10.39 percent in the prior year. The
increase in yield of real estate loans was due to the repricing of variable rate
loans at higher interest rates due to the general market increase in the LIBOR
and Prime rates that the loans are indexed to, partially offset by the increased
balance of single family residential mortgages, which generally have lower
effective yields. The weighted-average yield on cash and investment securities
increased to 5.92 percent in the current year-to-date period, compared to 5.26
percent in the corresponding period in the prior year, reflecting the general
increase in market interest rates

        Total interest expense increased by $8.2 million in the first half of
2000 compared to the corresponding period in 1999 due primarily to the interest
expense from the CMOs, and to a



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

lesser extent, to increases in the average balance of deposit accounts and in
the average rates paid on deposits.

        The average balance of CMOs was $108.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000. The average balance of deposit accounts was $901.9 million in the
six month period ended June 30, 2000, compared to $839.3 million in the prior
year-to-date period. The increase in deposits was used to fund the increase in
real estate loans and to finance the acquisition of the Trust. The average rate
paid on deposit accounts increased to 5.88 percent in the current year-to-date
period compared to 5.28 percent in the corresponding period in the prior year.
The increase in the average interest rate on deposit accounts was consistent
with the general increase in market interest rates.

PROVISIONS FOR ESTIMATED CREDIT LOSSES

        The provision for estimated credit losses decreased to $1.8 million in
the first six months of 2000 from $2.4 million in the corresponding period in
1999. The provision for estimated credit losses was recorded to provide for
reserves primarily due to the increase in the purchased residential loan
portfolio.

NONINTEREST INCOME

        Noninterest income totaled $1.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000 compared to $0.6 million for the corresponding period in 1999. The
increase in noninterest income was due primarily to the $1.4 million gain
realized on the sale of investment securities available for sale.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

        Noninterest expense totaled $11.9 million and $10.7 million for the
six-months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in
noninterest expense in the current six month period was due primarily to $1.4
million of nonrecurring general and administrative expenses recorded in the
first quarter of 2000 related to the consolidation of the Bank and ITLA
Capital's headquarters in La Jolla, California. For the six months ended June
30, 2000, ITLA Capital's ratio of consolidated recurring general and
administrative expense to average assets, on an annualized basis, was 1.76
percent compared to 2.10 percent in the corresponding period in the prior year.
ITLA Capital's efficiency ratio excluding nonrecurring expenses and real estate
operations was 38.2 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
39.7 percent during the corresponding period in the prior year.

securities portfolio designed to satisfy operating and regulatory liquidity
requirements while preserving capital and maximizing yield. As of June 30, 2000,
ITLA Capital held approximately $43.8 million of cash and cash equivalents
(consisting primarily of short-term investments with original maturities of 90
days or less) and $48.1 million of investment securities classified as available
for sale. Short-term fixed income investments classified as cash equivalents
consisted of interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions, 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 June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Bank's liquidity ratios
were 9.5 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 $136.8 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 increased to $924.6 million at June 30, 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2000, the Bank's Leverage (Core), Tier I and Total
Risk-Based capital ratios were 8.6 percent, 9.8 percent and 11.0 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 June 30, 2000 was due to the payment of a $14.3 million
cash dividend from the Bank to its parent, 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 June 30, 2000, the Bank's capital
position was designated as "well capitalized" for regulatory purposes.

        ITLA Capital's shareholders' equity increased $5.3 million from December
31, 1999 to June 30, 2000 primarily due to the accumulation of $8.8 million in
net income, partially offset by purchases of treasury stock of $2.7 million and
the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities available for
sale of $0.9 million. There were no dividends declared or paid by ITLA Capital
during the first six 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.
