ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                           BYL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION

BYL Bancorp (the "Company") was incorporated on April 17, 1997, for the sole 
purpose of becoming a bank holding company for the Bank of Yorba Linda (the 
"Bank").  Following regulatory consent and with the approval of the Bank's 
shareholders, the Bank merged with BYL Merger Company (a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of the Company) and thereby became a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
the Company.  As the merger was recorded using the pooling of interest 
method, restatement of prior balances was necessary to meet accounting 
standards.  Accordingly, the financial statements herein contain balances 
prior to the actual existence of the Company which reflect what the 
"consolidated" entity would have reported.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, 
statements of changes in shareholders' equity and statement of cash flows (as 
restated for the subsequent Merger of the Bank of Yorba Linda by the Company) 
reflect all material adjustments necessary for fair representation of the 
Company's financial position as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 
and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 
30, 1997 and 1996.  All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.


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

This analysis is designed to provide a more complete understanding of the 
material changes and trends related to the Company's financial condition and 
results of operations.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with 
the Financial Statements included in Item 1, the Bank's 1997 Annual Report, 
and the Form S-4 dated September 5, 1997.

                     MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

The financial condition of the Bank was materially impacted by the following 
1996 transactions:

 1) The redemption of the outstanding preferred stock and the payment of all 
    unpaid cumulative dividends.

 2) The acquisition of the Bank of Westminster.

 3) The supplemental offering of common shares.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

               MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION - CONTINUED

The preferred stock was redeemed during the first quarter of 1996.  This 
transaction reduced total stockholders by $1.2 million including dividends 
and a redemption premium.

The acquisition of the Bank of Westminster and simultaneous underwritten 
public offering of a total of 1,073,333 shares of the Bank's common stock was 
consummated on June 14, 1996.

The acquisition of the Bank of Westminster has been recorded utilizing the 
purchase method of accounting which resulted in goodwill being recorded in 
the amount of approximately $1.7 million, which amount will be amortized over 
a period of 15 years from the date of acquisition.  The following is a 
summary of the primary assets and liabilities acquired from Bank of 
Westminster (dollar amounts in thousands):

             Cash and Due From Banks         $  5,942
             Investments                     $  6,246
             Federal Fund Sold               $  4,850
             Loans, Net                      $ 34,308
             Premises and Equipment          $  2,912
             Noninterest-Bearing Deposits    $ 14,303
             Interest-Bearing Deposits       $ 35,099


The underwritten public offering of a total of 1,073,333 shares increased 
shareholder's equity by $7.7 million after all issuance costs.

                 MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As noted above, the acquisition of Bank of Westminster was consummated on 
June 14, 1996.  The following is proforma disclosure of results of operations 
had the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of each reported period 
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data): 

                                          Nine Months Ended

              Net Income                        $   749
              Net Income per Share              $  0.63

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

               MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

These proforma disclosures include projected earnings from net offering 
proceeds and goodwill amortization.  No adjustments have been recorded in 
these amounts for the expected cost savings to be derived from this merger.

Included in the results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 
1996 are one-time costs related to the acquisition of Bank of Westminster 
totaling approximately $118,000 after tax.  Of this total one-time after tax 
expense, approximately $103,000 arises from an agreement between the Bank and 
Mr. Donald Solsby, the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the 
Bank of Westminster, terminating his relationship with the Bank following the 
acquisition, waiving all benefits from the Bank and releasing the Bank from 
any and all liability.  Prior to the acquisition, the Bank had agreed to 
employ Mr. Solsby for a one year following the acquisition at an annual 
salary of $125,000 plus benefits and expenses; however, at the request of Mr. 
Solsby, the Board of Directors of the Bank agreed that the Bank would not 
retain Mr. Solsby in exchange for entering into this agreement. The Bank 
believes that the after tax cost of this agreement with Mr. Solsby is 
approximately equal to the after tax cost to the Bank of Mr. Solsby's salary, 
benefits, and expenses had he remained with the Bank for the full year 
following the acquisition.


OVERVIEW

For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company reported net income 
of $1,429,000, or $.86 per share compared to a net income of $816,000, or 
$.84 per share for the same nine month period in 1996 (Earnings per share 
comparisons with 1996 are negatively impacted by the increase in the shares 
outstanding following the public offering in June 1996).  Earnings per share 
for the third quarter of this year was $.32 compared to $.23 for the same 
period in 1996.  The annualized return on average assets was 1.37% for 1997 
compared to 1.26% for 1996.  Annualized return on average shareholders' 
equity for 1997 and 1996 was 13.86% and 11.69%, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets as of September 30, 1997, increased 34.9% to $157.2 million in 
comparison to total assets of $116.5 million as of December 31, 1996.  This 
increase was generated primarily by the Bank's wholesale loan activities.

ASSET QUALITY

The Bank's asset quality has remained stable in 1997.  The ALLL at September 
30, 1997 was 1.83% of total loans and 163.5% of non-performing loans compared 
to 1.88% and 172.6%, respectively, at December 31, 1996.  Non-performing 
assets to total assets has improved to 1.05% at September 30, 1997 compared 
to 1.49% at December 31, 1996.

                                       9

LIQUIDITY

The Bank liquidity is impacted significantly by the origination and sale of 
its wholesale loan products.  The loan to deposit ratio at September 30, 1997 
was 93.1%.  Had the Bank actually sold all of the loans it held for sale, 
this ratio would have been 52.8%.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company and its bank subsidiary are subject to risk-based capital 
regulations adopted by the federal banking regulators.  These guidelines are 
used to evaluate capital adequacy and are based upon an institution's risk 
profile and off-balance sheet exposures, such as unused loan commitments and 
letters of credit.  At September 30, 1997, the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital 
ratio was 7.82% compared to 9.24% at December 31, 1996.  Management is not 
aware of any trends, events, uncertainties or recommendations by regulatory 
authorities that will have or that are reasonable likely to have material 
effects on the liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income was $6.9 million for 1997 compared to $3.5 million for 
1996.  This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Bank of 
Westminster on June 14, 1996, and the continued growth in the Bank's 
wholesale loan divisions.  (The increase in the Bank's capital has allowed 
the Bank to hold loans longer before sale therefore maximizing net interest 
income.)

Noninterest income increased substantially in 1997 reaching $9.5 million 
compared to $5.4 million in 1996.  This increase is attributable to the 
continued expansion of the Bank's wholesale loan divisions.  These divisions 
have expanded by adding new products as well as entering new geographic 
markets.

Noninterest expense increased in 1997 to $13.6 million compared to $7.3 
million in 1996.  This increase is attributable to the acquisition of Bank of 
Westminster on June 14, 1996 and the continued expansion of the Bank's 
wholesale loan divisions.
