NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for quarterly reporting
and therefore does not necessarily include all information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. This information should be read
in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31,
1999.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
operating results for an entire fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the
unaudited financial information for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals
and provisions, necessary for a fair presentation thereof.


NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share". Accordingly, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share
also considers the number of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of
outstanding common stock options. All earnings per common share amounts
presented have been restated in accordance with the provisions of this
statement.


NOTE 3 - SEGMENTS

The Company has two primary reportable segments: its wholesale lending
operations and its retail banking operations. The wholesale lending segment
originates loans for resale to institutional investors. The Company's SBA loan
Division and its Mortgage Loan Division are included in this segment. The retail
banking segment accepts deposits, originates loans and provides other banking
services to the communities in which its eight branch offices are located.

The company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before
allocation of the provision for loan losses, administrative costs, amortization
of goodwill and income taxes. The retail segment charges the wholesale segments
for use of excess funds based on the estimated cost of outside financing.

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


BYL Bancorp (the "Company") has one wholly owned subsidiary, BYL Bank Group,
formerly the Bank of Yorba Linda (the "Bank"). The Bank's operations are the
only significant operations of the Company. The accompanying financial
information should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Statements contained in this Report on Form 10Q that are not purely historical
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
including statements regarding the Company's expectations, intentions, beliefs
or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in
this document are based on information available to the Company on the date
thereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such
forward-looking statements. It is important to note that the Company's actual
results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such
forward-looking statements are included in the discussions below.

SALE OF UNGUARANTEED INTEREST IN SBA LOANS

On December 10, 1998, the Bank entered into a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as of October 1, 1998 (the "SBA Pooling Agreement") between the Bank, as
Servicer and Master Servicer, and Marine Midland Bank, as Trustee (the
"Trustee") whereby the Bank transferred certain unguaranteed interests (the
"Unguaranteed Interests") in loans (the "SBA Loans") partially guaranteed by the
U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") to a newly-created trust (the
"Trust") for the benefit of the SBA and the holders of certificate representing
interests in such Trust. The Trust consists of the Unguaranteed Interests in
such SBA Loans that are subject to the Pooling Agreement, and the Trust has
issued three (3) classes of certificates representing certain fractional
undivided ownership interests in the Trust. The Aggregate principal amount of
the Unguaranteed Interests delivered to the Trust on October 31, 1998 equaled
approximately $38.1 million.

Pursuant to the SBA Pooling Agreement, the Trust issued $34.4 million aggregate
principal amount of BYL Bank Group SBA Loan-Backed Adjustable Rate Certificate,
Series 1998-1, Class A ("Class A Certificate"), $6.02 million aggregate
principal amount of BYL Bank Group SBA Loan-Backed Adjustable Rate Certificate,
Series 1998-1, Class M. ("Class M Certificate") and $2.58 million aggregate
principal amount of BYL Bank Group SBA Loan-Back Adjustable Rate Certificates,
Series 1998-1, Class B ("Class B Certificate").

The Class A and Class M Certificates were sold to a limited number of "Qualified
Institutional Buyers" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933,
and institutional "Accredited Investors" as defined in Rule 501 under the
Securities Act. Pursuant to the requirements of the SBA, the Class B Certificate
were retained by the Bank and are subordinate to the Class A and Class M
Certificates. The Class M Certificates are subordinate to the Class A
Certificates.

SALE OF COMMERCIAL LOANS

On August 11, 1999, the Bank entered into a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as of June 30, 1999 (the "Business Loan Pooling Agreement") among the
Bank, as seller and master servicer, HSBC Bank USA, as Trustee, and Bankers
Trust (Delaware) as Delaware Trustee, whereby the Bank has transferred a pool of
business loans to a newly-created trust (the "Business Loan Trust") for the

SALE OF COMMERCIAL LOANS- CONTINUED

fractional undivided ownership interests in the Business Loan Trust. The
aggregate principal amount of the Business Loans delivered to the Business Loan
Trust on August 11, 1999 equaled approximately $47.1 million.

aggregate principal amount of BYL Bank Group Business Loan-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1999-1, Class A-1 ("Class A-1 Certificates"), $12 million
aggregate principal amount of BYL Bank Group Business Loan-Backed Pass Through

Securities Act. The Class B-1 Certificates and the Class R Certificates were
retained by the Bank and are subordinate to the Class A-1 Certificates, the
Class A-2 Certificates and the Class A-3 Certificates.

Regulatory Actions, Prompt Corrective Action and Capital Restoration Plan

The two securitization transactions described above were accounted for as
sales in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. However,
as a result of a recent FDIC examination, the FDIC has indicated that such
transactions are considered to be with recourse, that the Bank did not
adequately support the assumptions utilized to project the value assigned to
various residual assets retained in the securitizations completed in 1998 and
1999, that the FDIC has advised the Bank it believes these assets are
overstated by $2.7 million on a pre-tax basis, that the Bank's Total Risk
Based Capital Ratio has been recalculated to 7.99% as of December 31, 1999,
which does not include the FDIC's perceived overstatement and that the Bank
is considered to be undercapitalized for purposes of Prompt Corrective
Action, because the Bank's Total Risk Based Capital Ratio as calculated by
the FDIC was 0.01% less than being adequately capitalized. The Bank also
believes that the FDIC may issue a formal enforcement action in the near
future. As a result, the Bank has filed a capital restoration plan with the
FDIC, which provides that as a result of the sale of the Bank's $38 million
auto portfolio, the closing of the Indirect Auto division and the sale of the
Diamond Bar Mortgage Division, the Bank expects to be adequately capitalized
by March 31, 2000. The capital restoration plan also provides for increasing
levels of capital every quarter until the Bank is well capitalized in 2001.
Further, the Bank has eliminated asset securitizations from its business
plan. The Bank will continue operations of all traditional retail banking
activities through the Bank's existing branch system. During the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 the Bank had sold the indirect auto portfolio and closed
the Indirect Auto Division and the Diamond Bar Mortgage Division. As a result
the Bank's Total Risk Based Capital Ratio was 8.46% as of March 31, 2000.

Management strongly disagrees with the FDIC conclusions in this matter and
intends to appeal the FDIC findings. In connection with this appeal, the Bank
has engaged a reputable third-party consultant to evaluate the assumptions used
in the valuation of these assets as well as design a new valuation model for
ongoing measurement of the changes in valuation of these assets.

REGULATORY ACTIONS, PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION AND CAPITAL RESTORATION PLAN-
CONTINUED


The Company is currently evaluating various possible alternatives of increasing
capital, including the issuance of various kinds of securities and the
divestiture or closing of those operations which were expected to continue to
provide rates of return below the Company's targeted ROI. The Company also
suspended quarterly dividends effective January 1, 2000. The Company continues
to explore various means to increase capital and shareholder value, including
the raising of additional capital, the formation of a holding company subsidiary
that would house many of the Bank's current lending activities, and forming
strategic alliance with other well-positioned financial institutions.

ACQUISITIONS

On May 29, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition with DNB Financial
("DNBF"), parent company of De Anza National Bank on a pooling-of-interests
basis , and, accordingly, the Company's historical consolidated results have
been restated. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, each
share of DNBF Common Stock was exchanged for 4.12 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. A total of 956,641 shares of the Company's Common Stock was issued to
DNBF shareholders. Also, on May 29, 1998, De Anza National Bank, DNBF's only
subsidiary, merged with and into BYL Bank Group.

On June 13, 1996, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Bank
of Westminster (BOW) for $6,174,000 in cash. BOW had total assets of
approximately $54,923,000. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
16. "Business Combinations". Under this method of accounting, the purchase price
was allocated to the assets acquired and deposits and liabilities assumed based
on their fair values as of the acquisition date. The financial statements
include the operations of BOW from the date of the acquisition. Goodwill arising
from the transaction totaled approximately $1,717,000 and is being amortized
over fifteen years on a straight-line basis.

OVERVIEW

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company reported net loss of
$260,000, or $(0.10) per share compared to a net income of $459,000, or $0.18
per share for the same three month period in 1999. The annualized return (loss)
on average assets was (0.29)% for 2000 compared to .54% in 1999. Annualized
return on shareholders equity was (3.63)% in 2000 compared to 6.79% in 1999.

Division and the Indirect Auto Division. The Company sold the indirect auto loan
portfolio and incurred a $1.6 million loss on sale.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

comparison to total assets of $353.7 million as of December 31, 1999. The
majority of this asset growth was centered in investment securities which
increased by $19.9 million. This growth was funded by a $2.0 million increase in
deposits

</TABLE>


The Company's asset quality has declined slightly in 2000 as evidenced by a
increase in the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans which increased to
1.03% at March 31, 2000 from 0.84% at December 31, 1999. The Company added
$50,000 to the ALLL for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to
$180,000 for the same period in 1999. The ALLL at March 31, 2000 was 1.45% of
total loans and 140.84% of non-performing loans compared to 1.31% and 157.04%,
respectively, at December 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY

The Bank's liquidity is impacted significantly by the origination and sale of
its wholesale loan products. The loan to deposit ratio at March 31, 2000 was
70.3%. Had the Bank actually sold all of the loans it held for sale, this ratio
would have declined to 55.4%.

        OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED


CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders equity at March 31, 2000 totaled $28.9 million, which
represents a 1.0% decrease from $29.2 million at December 31, 1999.

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 March 31, 2000, the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 7.03%
compared to 7.40% at December 31, 1999.

</TABLE>


On March 8, 2000 the Bank was notified by the FDIC that the Bank is
under-capitalized for purposes of Prompt Corrective Action. Accordingly, the
Bank is prohibited, among other things, from renewing broker deposits, paying
dividends and is subject to enforcement actions. Subsequent to the notification
by the FDIC, the Bank has filed a capital restoration plan with the FDIC. The
plan provides that the Bank will have Total Capital in excess of 8% by March 31,
2000 and in excess of 10% by the third quarter of 2001.

ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN

Net interest income was $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2000 compared to
$3.7 million for the same period in 1999. These increases are primarily the
result of increases in interest rates and average interest-earning assets as
shown by the following table (in thousands):

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

BYL Bancorp made a $50,000 contribution to the allowance for loan losses for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $180,000 for the three ended March
31, 1999. Management believes that the allowance, which equals 1.45% of total
loans at March 31, 2000, is adequate to cover future losses.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
and 1999 are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

</TABLE>


NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $5.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 1999. This decrease is
attributable to the contraction of the Bank's wholesale loan divisions by
closing the Diamond Bar Mortgage Division.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense was $10.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 1999. The majority of the
increase was attributable to the $1.6 million loss on sale of the Bank's
indirect auto loan portfolio.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


MARKET RISK

In Management's opinion there has not been a material change in BYL Bancorp's
market risk profile during the three months ended March 31, 2000. Market risk is
the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in
market prices and rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and
equity prices. BYL Bancorp's market risk arises primarily from interest rate
risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities and market risk in
loans originated for sale as a result of changes in interest rates. To that end,
management actively monitors and manages its inherent rate risk exposure. BYL
Bancorp manages its interest rate sensitivity by matching the repricing
opportunities on its earning assets to those on its funding liabilities.
Management uses various asset/liability strategies to manage the repricing
characteristics of its assets and liabilities to ensure that exposure to
interest rate fluctuations is limited within BYL Bancorp's guidelines of
acceptable levels of risk-taking.

At March 31, 2000, BYL Bancorp had $208 million of assets and $244 million of
liabilities repricing within one year. Therefore, $36 million more in interest
rate sensitive liabilities than interest rate sensitive assets will change to
the then current rate (changes occur due to the instruments being at a variable
rate or because the maturity of the instrument requires its replacement at the
then current rate). Generally, if rates were to fall during this period,
interest income would decline by a lesser amount than interest expense and net
income would increase. Conversely, if rates were to rise, the reverse would
apply, and BYL Bancorp's net income would decrease.


YEAR 2000 RISK


The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather that four to define the applicable year. As a result,
date-sensitive software and/or hardware may recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000.

This could result in a system failure or other disruption of operations and
impede normal business activities. In June 1996, the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") alerted the banking industry of the
serious challenges that would be encountered with Year 2000 issues. The FDIC has
also implemented a plan to require compliance with Year 2000 issues and
regularly examines out progress.


In accordance with FDIC guidelines, the Company developed a comprehensive plan
which management believes will result in timely and adequate modifications of
Company's systems and technology to address Year 2000 issues, which contemplates
all system conversions and testing to be substantially completed by December 31,
1999. Management has completed a top-down assessment of all mission-critical and
other systems for Year 2000 compliance and are currently in the third and fourth
of the five phases for compliance, "renovation and validation", as defined by
the FFIEC. Management has also tested non-information technology systems, such
as microprocessors controlling environmental and alarm systems, and found them
to be Year 2000 compliant.

YEAR 2000 RISK - CONTINUED


The Company expended approximately $113,000 through the periods ended December
31, 1999 in connection with its year 2000 compliance program. The Company
experienced no significant problems related to its information technology
systems upon arrival of the Year 2000, nor was there any interruption in service
to its customers.
