                   OFFICE OF THRIFT SUPERVISION
                 WAIVER OF REGULATORY PROVISION

                                           Order No.: 99-27
                                           Date: May 20, 1999

        Wilshire Real Estate Partnership L.P., Portland, Oregon, and Wilshire
    Real Estate Investment Trust Inc., Portland, Oregon (collectively, the
    "Acquirors") propose to acquire control of First Bank of Beverly Hills, FSB,
    Beverly Hills, California ("Savings Bank"), in connection with the
    reorganization in bankruptcy of Wilshire Financial Services Group, Inc.
    ("Holding Company"), the Savings Bank's holding company, without filing a
    holding company application with the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
    pursuant to 12 U.S.C. (S) 1467a(e) and 12 C.F.R. (S) 574.3(a). The Acquirors
    have presented materials to the OTS attempting to demonstrate that the
    proposed acquisition is exempt from prior OTS approval pursuant to 12 C.F.R
    (S) 574.3(d)(1)(ii).

         The materials submitted to the OTS indicate that several senior
    executive officers and directors of the Savings Bank and its current holding
    companies are controlling persons of or otherwise associated with the
    Acquirors. The Acquirors therefore are unable to satisfy one of the
    requirements for the exemption from prior approval, set forth at 12 C.F.R.
    (S) 574.3(d)(2)(ii), that until the OTS has acted favorably upon the
    acquiror's filing with the OTS, an acquiror shall not take any action to
    direct the management or policies of the savings association (which is
    defined to include savings and loan holding companies) or which are designed
    to effect a change in the business plan of the savings association other
    than voting on matters that may be presented to stockholders by management
    of the savings association.

          In order for the Acquirors to acquire control of the Savings Bank in
     connection with the proposed transaction without obtaining prior OTS
     approval, the OTS must waive the applicability of 12 C.F.R. (S)
     574.3(d)(2)(ii). Under 12 C.F.R. (S) 500.30(a), the Director may, for good
     cause and to the extent permitted by statute, waive the applicability of
     any provision of 12 C.F.R. Chapter V, including 12 C.F.R. (S)
     574.3(d)(2)(ii). The requirement set forth at 12 C.F.R. (S) 574.3(d)(2)(ii)
     is not set forth in any statute. In addition, based on the materials
     submitted in connection with the proposed transaction, a memorandum dated
     May 11, 1999, from the West Regional Office, a legal opinion dated May 18,
     1999, from the Business Transactions Division, and other facts and
     circumstances known to the OTS, the Director concludes that there is good
     cause for waiver of 12 C.F.R. (S) 574.3(d)(2)(ii), provided that the
     Acquirors comply with the conditions set forth below.

                                                             Order No. 99 - 27

           Accordingly, the Director hereby waives the applicability of 12
      C.F.R. (S) 574.3(d)(2)(ii) to the Acquirors' acquisition of stock of the
      Holding Company in connection with the Holding Company's reorganization in
      bankruptcy, subject to the following conditions:

      1.  Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Acquirors must submit a
          holding company application to the OTS pursuant to 12 U.S.C. (S)
          1467a(e) and 12 C.F.R. (S) 574.3, decrease their holdings of the
          Holding Company's stock to ten percent or less, or otherwise take
          action resulting in the Acquirors no longer controlling the Savings
          Bank, as control is determined under 12 C.F.R. (S) 574.4;

      2.  Until the OTS acts favorably an a holding company application
          submitted by the Acquirors:

          (a) the Acquirors must not take any action to effect a change in the
              business plan of the Savings Bank or any of its holding
              companies, except with prior OTS approval;

          (b) no officers or employees of either of the Acquirors, or any other
              person associated with either of the Acquirors, may become an
              officer or director of the Savings Bank or any of its holding
              companies, except that officers or employees of either of the
              Acquirors or any other person associated with either of the
              Acquirors may continue to hold any positions with the Savings
              Bank or its holding companies that they may have held on the date
              of this order; and

          (c) neither the Acquirors, nor any controlling person, officer or
              employee of either of the Acquirors, nor any party acting in
              concert with either of the Acquirors or such person, may acquire
              shares of the Holding Company or the Savings Bank, other than in
              the Holding Company's reorganization in bankruptcy.

           By order of the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision, or her
      designee, effective May 20. 1999.
