         the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all
         information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
         principles for complete financial statements and may be subject to
         year-end adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are
         necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim periods.

2.       On April 19, 1999, the Company announced the filing of Registration

         including the continuation of the banks' operating results, regulatory
         and shareholder approval, the completion of arrangements for an
         underwritten public offering of the Company, and certain other
         conditions. The shareholders of The Bank of Hemet and Valley Bank have

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

         THE FOLLOWING MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT
INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. PACIFIC COMMUNITY BANKING GROUP'S ACTUAL
RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS.


On April 19, 1999, the Pacific Community Banking Group ("the Company") announced
the filing of Registration Statements with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the acquisition of The Bank of Hemet, located in Riverside,
California, and Valley Bank of Moreno Valley, California, as well as for an
initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock underwritten by Sutro &
Co. The consummation of the acquisitions is subject to certain conditions,
including the continuation of the banks' operating results, regulatory and
shareholder approval, the completion of arrangements for an underwritten public
offering of the Company, and certain other conditions. The shareholders of The
Bank of Hemet and Valley Bank have each approved the acquisitions, and the
parties are awaiting the completion of the aforementioned Initial Public
Offering.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Pacific Community Banking Group was formed in 1997 for the purpose of
becoming a multi-bank, community oriented, independent bank holding company that
will own a number of community banks, predominantly in high-growth areas of
Southern California. Since inception, Pacific Community Banking Group has
investigated a number of banks for possible acquisition. These discussions have
resulted in the proposed acquisitions of The Bank of Hemet and Valley Bank.
Until these proposed acquisitions are completed immediately before the offering,
Pacific Community Banking Group has no revenue-generating operations. Since its
founding, Pacific Community Banking Group's only income has been interest earned
on investments and deposits. Nearly all of its expenses have been used for
organizational purposes in connection with proposed acquisition opportunities
and the initial public offering of its stock.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

         The holders of Pacific Community Banking Group's common stock have
provided approximately $2,500, and the holders of Pacific Community Banking
Group's convertible preferred stock have provided capital of approximately $1.4
million as of June 30, 1999, in each case to fund the costs associated with
identifying and acquiring selected community banks and raising the funds for the
initial acquisitions and operations.


                                      -5-
<PAGE>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Based on its current operating plan, Pacific Community Banking Group
believes the net proceeds of the public offering of its common stock, together
with its available funds, are sufficient to provide working capital and fund
capital expenditures in the near future. Pacific Community Banking Group
currently plans to acquire other banks. If the shareholders of the banks it
seeks to acquire will not accept Pacific Community Banking Group stock in
exchange for their shares, Pacific Community Banking Group will need to raise
additional capital to make these acquisitions for cash. If so, Pacific Community
Banking Group may seek to raise capital through sales of its securities to
private investors or to the public. These sales may not be feasible at times
because of market conditions. There is no guarantee that Pacific Community
Banking Group will acquire other banks.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         Since the formation of Pacific Community Banking Group, information
technology has not played an important role in its operations. These operations
have consisted of investigating and negotiating potential bank acquisitions.
Pacific Community Banking Group has acquired all of its computer hardware and
software since October, 1997 and believes its systems are Year 2000 compliant.
This hardware and software consists only of personal computers used for word
processing and spreadsheet calculations. If, notwithstanding the assurances
received from vendors regarding the fact that these computers are Year 2000
compliant, they prove to be noncompliant, as a contingency, Pacific Community
Banking Group could obtain word processing and spreadsheet capabilities from
third party services. After the acquisitions, Pacific Community Banking Group
will not perform data processing services for its banking subsidiaries. Rather,
The Bank of Hemet will continue to conduct data processing operations through
its subsidiary, BankLink Corporation. Valley Bank became a customer of BankLink
Corporation for data processing and item processing on approximately June 27,
1999.


                   BUSINESS OF PACIFIC COMMUNITY BANKING GROUP

GENERAL

         A private group of investors led by E. Lynn Caswell, an experienced
California community banker, formed the Company in 1997. The Company was formed
to become a multi-bank, community oriented, independent bank holding company,
which intends to acquire a select number of community banks, predominantly in
high-growth areas of Southern California. We intend to find strategically
located community banks, each of which has a successful history and a favorable
image in its market area. Where appropriate we will consolidate the operations
of acquired banks, but generally each bank will retain its separate market
identity. We plan to


                                      -6-
<PAGE>

achieve economies of management and scale by combining some administrative
and support functions, such as financial administration, data processing,
insurance, bonding, employee benefits and contracts for services.

         Since inception, we have investigated a number of banks for possible
acquisition, and have initiated discussions with several banks. These
discussions have resulted in the proposed acquisitions of The Bank of Hemet and
Valley Bank. We intend to continue discussing potential acquisitions with other
banks where those discussions are appropriate. No such acquisitions are
currently pending.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

         We base our business philosophy on the belief that banking customers
value doing business with locally managed institutions that can provide a full
service commercial banking relationship through an understanding of the
customer's financial needs and the flexibility to customize products and
services to meet those needs. We also believe that banks can better build
successful customer relationships by affiliating with a holding company that
provides cost effective administrative support services while promoting bank
autonomy and flexibility.

         To implement this philosophy, we intend to operate some of our acquired
banks as separate subsidiaries and retain their independent names along with
their individual boards of directors. We expect that many of our acquired banks,
such as The Bank of Hemet and Valley Bank, will have established strong
reputations and customer followings in their respective market areas through
attention to client service and an understanding of client needs. Where market
overlap makes a consolidation of operations among existing banks more
cost-efficient, as is the case with Valley Bank and The Bank of Hemet, we intend
to consolidate their operations. In addition, where we perceive that a community
lacks a strong independent community bank and would be an appropriate market for
one, we intend to form a new bank to fill that community need. We intend, within
the next two years, to develop a community bank in Orange County, based on our
perception that Orange County is one such community.

         We intend to keep client service decisions and day-to-day operations at
the bank level. But we also plan to offer the advantages of affiliation with a
multi-bank holding company by providing improved access to the capital markets
and expanded client support services, such as financial administration,
management and accounting services and possibly internet-based asset and
liability generation. In addition, our centralized administration, including
support in credit policy formulation and review, investment management, data
processing, employee benefits, accounting, insurance and other specialized
support functions will allow the banks to focus on client service.


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

         Our goal is to become the preeminent financial services company for
independent banks in high growth areas of Southern California, commencing with
Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Our business strategy is to increase our
market share within the communities we serve through internal growth after we
acquire The Bank of Hemet and Valley Bank. We will also pursue opportunities to
expand our market share through select acquisitions and development of banks
that complement our existing businesses.

EMPLOYEES

         At June 30, 1999, we had two employees, one of whom was an executive
officer. Neither is represented by a union or covered by a collective
bargaining agreement. We believe our employee relations are excellent.

PREMISES

         We lease approximately 1,050 square feet of space in an executive
office suite in Laguna Hills, California. The lease will expire in April 2000.
Lease payments include various office support services, and average
approximately $3,000 per month. These premises are not large enough for our
future needs. We expect to move into larger premises.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

         As a bank holding company, we are subject to many governmental rules
that affect our operations.

LITIGATION

         We have not become involved in any litigation, and know of no
threatened litigation against us that would be material to our operations.

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments as of
June 30, 1999. Further, the Company has minimal exposure to interest rate
risk as the Company's line of credit agreement has a fixed interest rate but
is short term in nature, with a maturity date of less than six months from
the date of inception. Therefore, the fair value of this financial instrument
is not materially affected by changes in market interest rates. The Company
believes that the market risk arising from holding its financial instrument
is not material.
