ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         The acquisition of 1,206,429 shares of the Common Stock on April 12,
1999 is the result of the conversion of 1,206,429 shares of Special Common
Stock, a portion of which consisted of Voting Special Common Stock and a portion
of which consisted of Non-Voting Special Common Stock, held of record by MDCP
into 1,206,429 shares of Common Stock. MDCP purchased the 1,206,429 shares of
the Special Common Stock at a gross purchase price of $9.62 per share, net of a
1% commitment fee, with working capital.

         The acquisition of 99,000 shares of Common Stock is the result of a
purchase of Common Stock from the Issuer in connection with the public offering
of 2,259,900 shares of Common Stock on April 12, 1999 by the Issuer and certain
shareholders pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (file no.
333-61589) (the "Offering"). MDCP paid $9.30 per share, resulting in an
aggregate purchase price of $920,700. MDCP purchased the 99,000 shares of Common
Stock with working capital.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The Special Common Stock, under the Issuer's Certificate of
Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to the closing of the Offering, was
entitled to a liquidation preference of $9.62 per share over the Common Stock.
In connection with the Offering, MDCP and the other holders of the Special
Common Stock, Olympus Growth Fund II, L.P. and Olympus Executive Fund, L.P.,
agreed with the Issuer to convert all of their Special Common Stock into Common
Stock prior to the completion of the Offering. Upon completion of the Offering,
the Issuer amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation to provide for
the elimination of the Special Common Stock from the Issuer's capitalization
structure.

         MDCP purchased 99,000 shares of Common Stock in the Offering for
investment purposes.

         The Reporting Persons intend to reexamine their investment in the
Issuer from time to time and, depending on market considerations and other
factors, may purchase or sell shares of Common Stock if appropriate
opportunities to do so are available, on such terms and at such time as the
Reporting Persons consider advisable.

</TABLE>

         * Includes (i) 1,378,429 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 38,000 shares
         of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of a warrant (assuming the
         fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise equals
         $10.00 per share). The maximum number of shares for which the foregoing
         warrant could be exercised, if the market value of the Common Stock
         increased to (or above) $24.00 per share, is 599,167. Shares of Common
         Stock are convertible into shares of non-voting Common Stock at the
         election of the holder for the purpose of ensuring that the holder will
         beneficially own no more than 9.9% of the total shares of Common Stock
         outstanding. Similarly, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
         exercise of the warrant may only be exercisable into shares of Common
         Stock if the percentage ownership of MDCP of all outstanding voting
         securities of the Company would not exceed 9.9%. Otherwise, such
         warrant is exercisable for shares of non-voting Common Stock.

         (c)   TRANSACTIONS IN CLASS OF SECURITIES BY REPORTING PERSONS.

           See Item 3 above.

         (d)   No persons other than the Reporting Persons and those persons
         listed on Schedule A have the right to receive or the power to direct
         the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
         Common Stock.

         (e)   Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT 
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         MDCP has one general partner, MDP. MDP has one general partner, MDP,
Inc. The persons listed on Schedule A are the general partners, executive
officers and director of the Reporting Persons.

         MDCP is a party to an Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement, 
dated April 6, 1999 (the "Shareholder Agreement") among itself, the Issuer, 
Olympus Growth Fund II, L.P., Olympus Executive Fund, L.P. (collectively with 
Olympus Growth Fund II, L.P. "Olympus"), Dartmouth Capital Group, L.P. 
("DCG") and certain shareholders of DCG's General Partner who also are 
shareholders of the Issuer. The Shareholder Agreement has been entered into 
primarily for regulatory purposes relating to restrictions imposed by the 
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System concerning the ownership of 
equity securities in bank holding companies (such as the Issuer) by persons 
or entities not registered as bank holding companies under the Bank Holding 
Company Act of 1954, as amended. The material provisions that are in effect 
provide as follows: (i) unless and until both MDP and Olympus hold 9.9% or 
less of the Common Stock (treating any Common Stock equivalents that they 
hold as fully exercised), DCG may not transfer any Common Stock or distribute 
any Common Stock to DCG's partners if, as a result of that transfer or 
distribution, DCG would hold fewer shares of Common Stock than either MDCP or 
Olympus; (ii) neither MDCP or Olympus will transfer any of its Common Stock 
(or warrants exercisable for Common Stock) without the prior approval of the 
Federal Reserve unless certain exceptions apply (which generally are intended 
to ensure that the transferee is not acquiring a substantial ownership 
interest in the Company without the approval of the Federal Reserve); and 
(iii) DCG will not sell any of its shares of Common Stock during a limited 
period before or after certain registered offerings of the shares of Common 
Stock held by MDCP or Olympus.

         Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement by
and among Commerce Security Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries and MDCP and
Olympus dated June 5, 1997, which provided for the original investment of MDCP
and Olympus in the Issuer in connection with the Issuer's June 1997 acquisition
of Eldorado Bancorp, the Issuer generally is obligated to nominate a designee of
MDCP for election to the Issuer's Board of Directors. A nominee of MDCP (Paul R.
Wood) has been nominated and elected, and currently serves on the Issuer's Board
of Directors. The Issuer's obligation to nominate designees of MDCP will
terminate generally at such time as MDCP owns more than 10% of the Common Stock
or less then 260,000 shares of the Common Stock.
