                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                    For the three months ended March 31, 2000

1. The interim  consolidated  financial statements are unaudited and reflect all
adjustments  and  reclassifications  which,  in the opinion of  management,  are
necessary for a fair  presentation  of the results of  operations  and financial
condition  for  the  interim  period.  The  unaudited   consolidated   financial
statements include the accounts of Community West Bancshares ("the Company") and
its wholly owned subsidiaries Goleta National Bank ("GNB") and Palomar Community
Bank  ("Palomar").  All  adjustments and  reclassifications  are of a normal and
recurring  nature.  Results  for the  period  ending  March  31,  2000,  are not
necessarily  indicative  of results  which may be expected for any other interim
period or for the year as a whole. Certain  reclassifications  have been made in
the 1999 financial information to conform to the presentation used in 2000.

2.     Summary  of  Significant  Accounting Policies. See Note 1 of the Notes to
Financial  Statements  in Community West Bancshares' (the "Company") 1999 Annual
Report  on  Form  10-K.

     Loans  Held  for Sale - Loans that are originated and are intended for sale
in  the  secondary  market, are carried at the lower of cost or fair value on an
aggregate basis.  Funding  for  SBA programs depends on annual appropriations by
the  U.S.  Congress,  and accordingly, the sale of loans under these programs is
dependent  on  the  continuation  of  such  programs.

Investment  Securities - The Company  classifies as held to maturity  those debt
securities  that it has the  positive  intent and  ability to hold to  maturity.
Securities  held  to  maturity  are  accounted  for at  cost  and  adjusted  for
amortization  of premiums and accretion of discounts.  Securities to be held for
indefinite  periods of time, but not  necessarily to be held to maturity or on a
long term basis are  classified  as available for sale and carried at fair value
with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate  component of accumulated
other comprehensive  income, net of any applicable income taxes.  Realized gains
or losses on the sale of securities  available for sale, if any, are  determined
on a specific identification basis.

     Investment  Securities,  Held  for Trading - The Company originates certain
loans for  the  purpose  of selling either a portion or all of the loan into the
secondary  market. The guaranteed portion of SBA loans and FHA Title 1 loans are
typically  sold  into  the secondary market servicing retained. Second mortgages
("HLTV")  loans are typically sold into the secondary market servicing released.
On  some of these sales, the Company retains interest only ("I/O") strips, which
represent  the  present value of the right to the excess cash flows generated by
the  serviced  loans  and is based on the difference between (a) interest at the
stated  rate paid by borrowers and (b) the sum of (i) pass-through interest paid
to  third-party  investors,  (ii)  trustee  fees,  (iii)  FHA insurance fees (if
applicable),  (iv)  third-party credit enhancement fees (if applicable), and (v)
stipulated  servicing  fees.  The  Company  determines the present value of this
anticipated  cash  flow  stream  at  the time each loan sale transaction closes,
utilizing  valuation  assumptions  appropriate  for each particular transaction.
Loan  sales  are  discussed  in  detail  in  Note  3.


                                        5
<PAGE>
     The  I/O Strips are subject to significant prepayment risk, and accordingly
have  an  undetermined maturity date; and therefore cannot be classified as held
to  maturity.  The  Company  has  chosen  to  classify  these  assets as trading
securities.  Based on this classification, the Company is required to mark these
securities  to  fair  value with the accompanying increases or decreases in fair
value  being  recorded  as  earnings  or  losses  in  the  current  period.  The
determination  of  fair  value  is  based  on  the  same basis as when valued at
transaction  close.

     As  the  gain  recognized in the year of sale is equal to the net estimated
future cash flows from the I/O Strips, discounted at a market interest rate, the
amount  of  cash  actually  received  over the lives of the loans is expected to
exceed  the  gain  previously  recognized  at  the  time  the  loans  are  sold.

3.     Loan  Sales

HLTV Loan Sales As of December  31,  1999,  the Company had $152 million in HLTV
- -----------------
loans held for sale.  As of March 31, 2000,  the Company had $65 million in HLTV
loans held for sale.  The Company  typically  sells these loans in the secondary
market with servicing released.

SBA  Loan  Sales
- ----------------
     The  Company  sells the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration
("SBA")  loans  into  the secondary market in exchange for a combination of cash
premium,  servicing  assets,  and I/O strips.  The Company retains the servicing
rights.  The  present value of the interest only strips and servicing assets was
calculated  assuming  an  11%  discount  rate  and  an  8%  CPR.

     As  of  December  31, 1999, the Company had approximately $7 million in SBA
Loans  held  for  sale.  As  of  March  31,  2000, the Company had approximately
$10  million  in  SBA  loans  held  for  sale.

FHA  Title  1  Loan  Sales
- --------------------------
     Since  1995,  the  Company  has  sold  FHA Title 1 loans into the secondary
market in exchange  for  cash  premiums,  servicing  assets, and I/O strips. The
Company retains  the  servicing  rights.  The present value of the interest only
strips is  currently  calculated assuming  an 11% discount rate and a 30% CPR.

     As  of  December  31, 1999 and March 31, 2000, the Company had less than $1
million in  FHA Title 1 loans held for sale.  During 1999, the related servicing
asset  was  fully  amortized.

6.     The below listed table denotes the financial performance of the Company's
operational segments for its periods ending March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 in
compliance  with  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  131.

     The  Company's  management, while managing the overall company, also, looks
at individual  areas  considered "significant" to revenue and net income.  These
significant  areas, or segments, are: SBA Lending, Alternative Lending, Mortgage
Division,  Goleta  National  Bank Branch Operations, and Palomar Community Bank.
For  this  discussion, the remaining divisions are considered immaterial and are
consolidated  into "Other." The Other segment includes the administration areas,
human  resources,  and tech support, along with others.  The accounting policies
of  the  individual  segments  are the same as those described in the summary of
significant  accounting  policies.

     The SBA Lending,  Alternative  Lending,  and Mortgage Divisions from Goleta
National Bank are considered  individual  segments because of the different loan
products  involved and the  significance of the associated  revenue.  The Goleta
National  Bank Branch  operations  includes  deposits  and  commercial  lending.
Management  analyzes  Palomar  separately from Goleta National Bank, as they are
two different subsidiaries under Community West Bancshares.

     All  of  the  Company's assets and operations are located within the United
States.  The  assets  shown  for  each  segment  are  estimates.

     The  following  table  sets  forth  various  revenue and expense items that
management relies  on  in  decision  making.

7. On March 30, 2000, ePacific.com redeemed 1,800,000 of the Company's 2,100,000
shares  and repaid a loan from the  Company  with a balance  of  $3,725,000  for
$4,500,000  in  cash.  As a result  of this,  the  Company  reversed  previously
consolidated losses and now reflects the remaining 10% investment at cost.

8.     Subsequent  to the issuance of the Company's 1999 first quarter 10-Q, the
Company's  management  determined  that (1) the acquisition of Palomar Community
Bank  in  December  1998,  which  was  previously  accounted  for  under  the
pooling-of-interests  method of accounting, should have been accounted for under
the  purchase method of accounting, (2) the securitization of loans completed in
December  1998,  which  was  previously accounted for as a sale should have been
accounted  for  as  a  secured  borrowing  with a pledge of collateral, (3) as a
result of  the reclass of loan sales to a collateralized borrowing, as mentioned
in  (1)  and  (2),  certain  costs  related  to second mortgage loans which were
previously  capitalized, should have been charged to expense as incurred, (4) as
a  result  of  the  reclass of loan sales to a collateralized borrowing, certain
loan  fees  which  were  previously  recognized,  should  have been deferred and
amortized,  and  (5)  as  a  result  of  (1)  through  (4),  the calculation of
regulatory  capital  amounts  and  ratios  as  March 31, 1999 was incorrect.  In
addition,  management  also identified certain other insignificant errors in the
March  31, 1999 10-Q.  As a result, the March 31, 1999 financial statements have
been  restated  from  amounts  previously reported to properly account for these
transactions.

The  annualized  return  on  average equity was 30.6% for the three months ended
March  31,  2000,  and  7.4%  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999.

Average  assets  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 2000, were $502,001,000
compared  to  $281,995,000 for the same period in 1999; average equity increased
to  $34,972,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2000, from $24,446,000 for
the  same  period  in 1999. The book value per share rose from $5.56 at Dec. 31,
1999,  to  $5.96  at  March  31,  2000.

NET  INTEREST  INCOME/NET  INTEREST  MARGIN
One  component  of  the  Company's earnings is net interest income, which is the
difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the
interest  paid  for  deposits and borrowed funds. The net interest margin is net
interest  income  expressed  as  a  percentage  of  average  earning  assets.

The annualized net interest margin was 6.3% for the three months ended March 31,
2000, compared to an annualized net interest margin of 4.9% for the three months
ended  March  31,  1999.  Earning  assets  averaged  $443,139,000  for the three
months  ended  March  31, 2000. This represented an increase of $176,773,000, or
66.4%,  over  average  earning assets of $266,366,000 for the three months ended
March  31,  1999.

The  net  interest  income  figures  above  include  income  from  the Company's
securities.  The  following  table shows the interest and fees and corresponding
yields  for  loans  only.

Annualized Yield.         13.1%           9.6%
</TABLE>

The increase in interest and fees is due to an 87.9%  increase in average loans.
In  addition,  an increased  proportion  of the  Company's  loans were in higher
yielding loan products during the three months ended March 31, 2000.

CREDIT  LOSS  EXPERIENCE  As  a  natural  corollary  to  the  Company's  lending
activities,  some loan losses are experienced.  The risk of loss varies with the
type of loan being made and the  creditworthiness  of the borrower over the term
of the loan. The degree of perceived risk is taken into account in  establishing
the structure of, and interest rates and security  required for,  specific loans
and for various types of loans. The Company attempts to minimize its credit risk
exposure by use of thorough loan application and approval procedures.

The  Company  maintains  a  program  of systematic review of its existing loans.
Loans  are  graded  for  their  overall quality. Those loans which the Company's
management determines require further monitoring and supervision, are segregated
and  reviewed  on  a periodic basis. Significant problem loans are reviewed on a
monthly  basis  by  the  Company's  Loan  Committee.


                                       11
<PAGE>
The  Company  charges off that portion of any loan which management considers to
represent  a  loss.  A loan is generally considered by management to represent a
loss  in  whole  or  in  part  when  an  exposure beyond any collateral value is
apparent, servicing of the unsecured portion has been discontinued or collection
is  not  anticipated  based  on  the  borrower's financial condition and general
economic conditions in the borrower's industry. The principal amount of any loan
which  is  declared  a  loss is charged against the Company's allowance for loan
losses.

The Company's allowance for loan losses is designed to provide for inherent loan
losses  which can be  reasonably  estimated.  The  allowance  for loan losses is
established  through charges to operating expenses in the form of provisions for
loan losses. Actual loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited,  directly
to the allowance  for loan losses.  The amount of the allowance is determined by
management  of the Company.  Among the factors  considered  in  determining  the
allowance for loan losses are the current  financial  condition of the Company's
borrowers and the value of the security,  if any, for their loans.  Estimates of
future economic conditions and their impact on various industries and individual
borrowers are also taken into  consideration,  as are the  Company's  historical
loan loss  experience  and reports of banking  regulatory  authorities.  Because
these estimates,  factors and evaluations are primarily judgmental, no assurance
can be  given  as to  whether  or not  the  Company  will  sustain  loan  losses
substantially higher in relation to the size of the allowance for loan losses or
that  subsequent  evaluation of the loan  portfolio may not require  substantial
changes in such allowance.

The  following  table  summarizes  the Company's allowance for loan loss for the
dates  indicated:

</TABLE>

The  provision for loan losses was $896,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2000.  This  is  an  increase of $625,000, or 230.6%, over the $271,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999, primarily due to an increase in the Company's
loan  portfolio.  Gross  loans outstanding decreased 19.6% from December 1999 to
March  2000.  For  the  three months ended March 31, 2000, losses charged to the
allowance  for  loan  losses  totaled  $534,000.  This  was  offset  by  $42,000
recovery;  with  the  net  effect  being  $492,000  loans  were  charged  to the
allowance.  The  increase  in  the  ratio  of allowance for loan losses to gross
loans  was  due to the decrease in loans available for sale which are carried at
the  lower  of  cost  or  market  and  as  such  no  allowance  is  recorded.


                                       12
<PAGE>
Management  of the Company  reviews with the Board of Directors  the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly  basis.  The loan loss provision is
adjusted when specific items reflect a need for such an  adjustment.  Management
believes  that there were no material  loan  losses  during the last fiscal year
that have not been charged off.  Management  also  believes that the Company has
adequately  provided for all individual  items in its portfolio which may result
in a material loss to the Company.

OTHER  INCOME
Other  income  includes  service  charges  on deposit accounts, gains on sale of
loans,  servicing  fees, and other revenues not derived from interest on earning
assets.  Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2000, increased 41.0%
over  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999.  This  increase  was due to a
$2,080,000 gain on the sale of a portion of th e Company's ownership interest in
a  subsidiary.

OTHER EXPENSES Other expenses include salaries and employee benefits,  occupancy
and equipment, and other operating expenses. Other expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, increased 3.3% over the three months ended March 31, 1999.
The increase in other expenses for the periods compared was primarily because of
increased costs to service the securitized  loan portfolio,  which was partially
offset by decreases due to the deconsolidation of ePacific.com.

CASH  AND  CASH  EQUIVALENTS
Cash  and cash equivalents are made up of cash and federal funds sold.  The 127%
increase  is  a  result of HLTV Loan sales of approximately  $60 million  during
the  month  of  March  ,  2000.

INVESTMENT  SECURITIES
Investment  securities are made up of
Federal  Reserve  Bank  and  Federal  Home  Loan Bank stock, U.S.
Treasury  Notes  and Bills, mortgage-backed securities and interest only strips.
The  increase of 13% is from an increase in interest only strips created through
the  sale  of  loans.

LOANS
The  51%  decrease  in  loans  held for sale is because of planned sales of HLTV
Loans.

which  were used to fund HLTV loans  held for sale,  which were sold  during the
period.

LIQUIDITY
The  Company  has an asset and liability management program that aids management
in  maintaining  its  interest  margins  during times of both rising and falling
interest rates and in maintaining sufficient liquidity. Liquidity of the Company
at March 31, 2000 was 34.2% and at December 31, 1999, was 38.1%, based on liquid
assets  (consisting  of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, deposits in
other  financial  institutions, investments, and loans held for sale) divided by
total  assets.  Management  believes  it  maintains  adequate  liquidity levels.

At  times  when  the  Company  has  more  funds  than  it  needs for its reserve
requirements or short term liquidity needs, the Company increases its securities
investments  and  sells  federal  funds. It is management's policy to maintain a
substantial  portion  of its portfolio of assets and liabilities on a short-term
or  highly  liquid  basis in order to maintain rate flexibility and to meet loan
funding  and liquidity needs.  The Company has two federal funds lines of credit
with its correspondent banks totaling $6,500,000. In addition, the Company has a
line  of  credit  with  the  Federal  Home  Loan Bank. This line had $18,920,000
available  at  March  31,  2000.

CAPITAL  RESOURCES
The  Company's  equity  capital  was  $36,394,000 at March 31, 2000. The primary
source  of  capital  for  the  Company  has  been  the  retention of net income.

The  Company  declared a quarterly dividend of $0.04 a share for shareholders of
record  on  January  4,  2000  payable  January  20,  2000.

On  December  28, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock
buy-back  plan.  Under  this  plan  management is authorized to repurchase up to
$2,000,000  worth of the outstanding shares of its common stock . As of December
31,  1999 and March 31, 2000 management had repurchased 137,437 shares of common
stock  at  a  cost of  $1,236,000.  No additional shares were purchased in 2000.
Under  the  Prompt Corrective Action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act,  national  banks  are  assigned regulatory capital classifications based on
specified  capital  ratios of the institutions.  The capital classifications are
"well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized"  and  "critically  undercapitalized."

The relevant capital ratios of the institution in this determination are (i) the
ratio  of  Tier  I  capital  (primarily  common stock and retained earnings less
goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets)  to adjusted average total assets (the
"Tier  I  capital to average assets ratio"), (ii) the ratio of Tier I capital to
risk-weighted  assets  (the  "Tier  I  risk-based capital ratio"), and (iii) the
ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets (the "total risk-based
capital  ratio").  To be considered "well capitalized," an institution must have
a  Tier  I  capital  to average assets ratio of at least 5%, a Tier I risk-based
capital  ratio  of at least 6%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least
10%.  Generally,  for  an  institution to be considered "adequately capitalized"
these three ratios must be at least 4%, 4% and 8%, respectively.  An institution
will  generally  be  considered (1) "undercapitalized" if any one of these three
ratios  is  less  than  4%,  4%  and  8%,  respectively,  and (2) "significantly
undercapitalized"  if  any one of these three ratios is less than 3%, 3% and 6%,
respectively.

Goleta's  actual  capital  amounts and ratios at March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999  are  as  follows:
