                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     People's Preferred Capital Corporation, (the "Company"), is a Maryland 
corporation incorporated on June 19, 1997 which was created for the purpose 
of acquiring, holding and managing mortgage loans secured by real estate 
assets. The Company's outstanding common stock is wholly owned by People's 
Bank of California, a federal savings bank (the "Bank").

     The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information 
and with the instructions for meeting the requirements of Regulation S-X, 
Article 10 and therefore do not include all disclosures necessary for 
complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments 
have been made that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial 
position and results of operations and cash flows as of and for the period 
presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The 
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 
fiscal year or any other interim period.

     The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
statement of financial condition and accompanying note thereto as of December 
31, 1997 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.  All terms 
used but not defined elsewhere herein have meanings ascribed to them in the

OVERVIEW

     People's Preferred Capital Corporation's business is to acquire and 
maintain a real estate loan portfolio.  The income from this portfolio will 
generate net income that must be distributed to the Company's stockholders in 
order to maintain the tax exempt status as a real estate investment trust.  
The Company anticipates that it will periodically reinvest loan principal 
payments into newly acquired real estate loans.

150 basis points above the FNMA 30 year commitment rate for delivery as of a 
date specified in the related mortgage note.

</TABLE>

     At March 31, 1998 there were no non accrual loans in the Company's loan 
portfolio.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb potential 
loan losses from the entire loan portfolio.  Management believes that the 
allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 1998, is sufficient to absorb any 
unidentified losses that currently exist in the portfolio.  Management will 
continue to review the loan portfolio to determine the extent to which any 
changes in loss experience may require additional provisions in the future.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     At March 31, 1998, the Company had total assets of $72.6 million, 
unchanged from December 31, 1997.  Mortgage loans totaled $66.1 million, or 
91.2% of the Company's assets at the end of the quarter, compared to $70.4 
million, or 97.0% of total assets, at December 31, 1997.  The reduction in 
loans represented receipt of loan principal repayments.  No new loans were 
purchased in the first quarter.  

     At March 31, 1998, the Company had no liabilities.  The $460,000 of 
dividends payable to the Bank at December 31, 1997, was paid during the first 
quarter.  Additionally, preferred stock  dividends of $870,000 and common 
stock dividends of $48,000 were both declared and paid during the first 
quarter of 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company reported net interest income of $1.4 million for the 
three-month period ended March 31, 1998.  Expenses of $146,000 for the period 
included $42,000 in servicing fees, $50,000 in management fees paid to the 
Bank, and $54,000 in professional and other expenses.  After deduction of 
total expenses, net earnings totaled $1.3 million.  When compared to the 
preceding quarter ended December 31, 1997, net interest income was virtually 
unchanged, while expenses increased $37,000, principally as a result of 
professional expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of 
sufficient cash flows to meet all of the Company's financial commitments and 
to capitalize on opportunities for the Company's business expansion.  In 
managing liquidity, the Company takes into account various legal limitations 
placed on a REIT.

     The Company's principal liquidity needs are to maintain its current 
portfolio size through the acquisition of additional Mortgage Loans as 
Mortgage Loans currently in the portfolio mature or prepay and to pay 
dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares.  The acquisition of additional 
Mortgage Loans is intended to be funded with the proceeds obtained from 
repayment of principal balances by individual mortgagees.  The Company has 
not had and does not anticipate having any material capital expenditures.

     To the extent that the Board of Directors determines that additional 
funding is required, the Company may raise such funds through additional 
equity offerings, debt financing or retention of cash flow (after 
consideration of provisions of the Code requiring the distribution by a REIT 
of at least 95% of its "REIT taxable income" and taking into account taxes 
that would be imposed on undistributed income), or a combination of these 
methods.  The organizational documents of the Company do not contain any 
limitation on the amount or percentage of debt, funded or otherwise, that the 
Company might incur. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not, 
without the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors, incur debt 
in excess of 20% of the Company's 

                                      9
<PAGE>

total stockholders' equity.  Any such debt incurred may include intercompany 
advances made by the Bank to the Company.

     The Company also may issue additional series of Preferred Stock.  
However, the Company may not issue additional shares of Preferred Stock that 
is or will be senior to the Series A Preferred Shares without obtaining the 
prior consent of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of Preferred Stock 
outstanding at that time, including the Series A Preferred Shares, and the 
Company may not issue additional shares of Preferred Stock on a parity with 
the Series A Preferred Shares without the prior approval of a majority of the 
Company's Independent Directors.
