Management Discussion and Analysis
Overview
The Company earned $699 thousand, or $.15 per share, during the second quarter
of 1995, compared to $608 thousand, or $0.13 per share, during the same period
in 1994. Over 66% of the earnings in the second quarter of 1994 were
attributable to a gain on the sale of mortgage servicing rights. Since then,
the earnings of the core commercial bank have grown steadily as the reliance on
mortgage related income has declined. For the quarter ended June 30, 1995, only
about 15% of pretax earnings related to sales of mortgage servicing.
The Bank's asset quality ratios continue to be exceptionally strong. At June
30, 1995, nonperforming assets were $285 thousand, compared with $66 thousand in
the first quarter of 1995. The Bank did not have any real estate acquired
through foreclosure at June 30, 1995, December 31, 1994 or June 30, 1994. The
Bank's allowance for loan losses as a percent of both nonperforming loans and
nonperforming assets at the end of the second quarter of 1995 was 2648%,
compared to first quarter 1995 levels of 11503%. Total nonperforming assets for
the Bank have remained below $300 thousand for the past four consecutive
quarters, reflecting the Bank's ongoing emphasis on credit quality. The Bank has
enjoyed net recoveries, as recoveries exceeded chargeoffs for the first six
months of 1995 and for all of 1994.
Capital ratios are strong, substantially exceeding levels required to be in the
"well capitalized" category established by bank regulators. The Total Risk-
Based Capital Ratio was 16.12%, the Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 14.84%,
and the Leverage Ratio was 10.34% at June 30, 1995, compared to 15.4%, 14.12%,
and 10.44%, respectively, at year-end 1994. Regulatory requirements for Total
Risk-Based, Tier 1 Risk-Based, and Leverage capital ratios are a minimum of 8%,
4%, and 3%, respectively, and for classification as well capitalized, 10%, 6%,
and 5%, respectively.
The Bank's strong capital and asset quality position have positioned the Bank
for continued growth of its core business of providing relationship based
services to middle market customers and are resources for its acquisition
strategy. During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Bank generated
approximately $64 million in new loan commitments, compared with about $52
million for the comparable period of 1994.
Balance Sheet Analysis
Loan Portfolio Composition and Credit Risk
The Bank's loan portfolio at June 30, 1995 has maintained the high standards of
credit quality that have been established as the commercial loan portfolio has
been built over the past three years. Non performing assets have been virtually
eliminated and exposures to real estate have been greatly reduced to consist
primarily of loans secured by real estate made to the Bank's core middle market
customers.
Total loans at June 30, 1995 increased by $9 million during the quarter,
offsetting the decline of $6 million in the first quarter of 1995. Loan
paydowns for the first quarter were unusually high, as a number of project
related loans in the Entertainment division combined with normal payoffs and
seasonality in the commercial portfolio. Loan levels at June 30, 1995 were $34
million above the June 30, 1994 level, reflected the ongoing success in
producing new commercial relationships.

</TABLE>
At June 30, 1995, the Bank had loans totaling $108 million maturing within one
year, $58 million maturing after one but within five years, and $7 million
maturing after five years. Loans due after one year totaling $5 million had
predetermined interest rates.
The Bank lending effort is focused on business lending to middle market
customers. Current credit policy now permits commercial real estate lending
generally only as part of a complete commercial banking relationship with a
middle market customer. Commercial real estate loans are secured by first or
second liens on office buildings and other structures. The loans are secured by
real estate that had appraisals in excess of loan amounts at origination.
Monitoring and controlling the Bank's allowance for loan losses is a continuous
process. All loans are assigned a risk grade, as defined by credit policies, at
origination and are monitored to identify changing circumstances that could
modify their inherent risks. These classifications are one of the criteria
considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
The amount and composition of the allowance for loan losses is as follows:

Total Allowance for loan losses $7,548 $7,427 $7,279
(1) Including Commercial loans secured by real
estate
</TABLE>
Adequacy of the allowance is determined using management's estimates of the risk
of loss for the portfolio and individual loans. Included in the criteria used to
evaluate credit risk are, wherever appropriate, the borrower's cash flow,
financial condition, management capabilities, and collateral valuations, as well
as industry conditions. A portion of the allowance is established to address the
risk inherent in general loan categories, historic loss experience, portfolio
trends, economic conditions, and other factors. Based on this assessment a
provision for loan losses may be charged against earnings to maintain the
adequacy of the allowance. The allocation of the allowance based upon the risks
by type of loan, as shown in Table 2, implies a degree of precision that is not
possible when using judgments. While the systematic approach used does consider
a variety of segmentations of the portfolio, management considers the allowance
a general reserve available to address risks throughout the entire loan
portfolio.

Activity in the allowance, classified by type of loan, is as follows:

</TABLE>
The Bank's policy concerning nonperforming loans is more conservative than is
generally required. It defines nonperforming assets as all loans ninety days or
more delinquent, loans classified nonaccrual, and foreclosed, or in substance
foreclosed real estate. Nonaccrual loans are those whose interest accrual has
been discontinued because the loan has become ninety days or more past due or
there exists reasonable doubt as to the full and timely collection of principal
or interest. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously
accrued but uncollected is reversed against operating results. Subsequent
payments on nonaccrual loans are treated as principal reductions. At June 30,
1995, nonperforming loans amounted to $285 thousand compared with $36 thousand
at December 31, 1994.

Securities
The securities portfolio at June 30, 1995, totaled $65 million, compared to $74
million at year-end 1994. The securities are all held in a Held for Investment
portfolio. There was no held for sale portfolio at June 30, 1995 or year-end
1994. This portfolio is recorded at amortized cost. It is the Bank's intention
to hold these securities to their individual maturity dates.
There have been no realized gains or losses on securities in the second quarter
of 1995 or 1994. At June 30, 1995, there were unrealized gains of $396
thousand and losses of $606 thousand in the securities portfolio.
Additional information concerning securities is provided in the footnotes to the
accompanying financial statements.
Other Real Estate Owned
There was no Other Real Estate Owned on the Bank's balance sheet at June 30,
1995, December 31, 1994, and June 30, 1994. The Bank's policy is to carry
properties acquired in foreclosure at fair value less estimated selling costs,
which is determined using recent appraisal values adjusted, if necessary, for
other market conditions. Loan balances in excess of fair value are charged to
the allowance for loan losses when the loan is reclassified to other real
estate. Subsequent declines in fair value are charged against a valuation
allowance for real estate owned, created by charging a provision to other
operating expenses. The Bank has not had any significant expenses related to
Other Real Estate Owned in 1995 or 1994.
Deposit Concentration
Due to its historic focus on real estate-related activities, the Bank developed
a concentration of deposit accounts from title insurance and escrow companies.
These deposits are generally noninterest bearing transaction accounts that
contribute to the Bank's interest margin. Noninterest expense related to these
deposits is included in other operating expense. The Bank monitors the
profitability of these accounts through an account analysis procedure.
<PAGE> 6
The Bank offers products and services allowing customers to operate with
increased efficiency. A substantial portion of the services, provided through
third party vendors, are automated data processing and accounting for trust
balances maintained on deposit at the Bank. These and other banking related
services, such as messenger and deposit courier services, will be limited or
charged back to the customer if the deposit relationship profitability does not
meet the Bank's expectations.
Noninterest bearing deposits represent nearly the entire title and escrow
relationship. These balances have been reduced substantially as the Bank
focused on middle market business loans. The balance at June 30, 1995, was $34
million compared to $44 million at December 31, 1994. Costs relative to
servicing the above relationships are the significant portion of the Bank's
customer data processing and messenger and courier costs. These were no
significant changes to the costs in 1995.
The Bank had $37 million in certificates of deposit larger than $100 thousand
dollars at June 30, 1995. The maturity distribution of these deposits is
relatively short term, with $34 million maturing within 3 months and the $36
million maturing within 12 months.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the Bank's ability to meet
cash requirements. The liquidity position is managed giving consideration to
both on and off-balance sheet sources and demands for funds.
Sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents (net of Federal Reserve
requirements to maintain reserves against deposit liabilities), securities
eligible for pledging to secure borrowings from dealers pursuant to repurchase
agreements, loan repayments, deposits, and borrowings from a $25 million
overnight federal funds line available from a correspondent bank. Potential
significant liquidity requirements are withdrawals from noninterest bearing
demand deposits and funding of commitments to loan customers.
From time to time the Bank may experience liquidity shortfalls ranging from one
to several days. In these instances, the Bank will either purchase federal
funds, and/or sell securities under repurchase agreements. These actions are
intended to bridge mismatches between funding sources and requirements, and are
designed to maintain the minimum required balances. The Bank has had no Fed
Funds purchased or borrowings under repurchase agreements during 1994 or 1995.
The Bank's historical portfolio of large certificates of deposit (those of $100
thousand or more) has not been significant relative to the total deposit base.
At June 30, 1995 this funding source was 14% of average deposits, compared to
14% at December 31, 1994. This funding source has traditionally been used to
manage liquidity needs within the deposit portfolio.
During 1994 and 1995, loan growth for the bank outpaced growth of deposits from
the banks commercial customers. The Bank funded this growth, combined with the
Bank's reduced concentration in title and escrow deposits, in part with
certificates of deposit from customers from outside the Bank's normal service
area. These out of area deposits are certificates of deposit of $90,000 or
greater, that are priced competitively with similar certificates from other
financial institutions throughout the country. At June 30,1995, the Bank had
approximately $83 million of these out of area deposits, up from $55 million at
December 31, 1994.

</TABLE>
Assets and liabilities shown on Table 5 are categorized based on contractual
maturity dates. Maturities for those accounts without contractual maturities are
estimated based on the Bank's experience with these customers. Noninterest
bearing deposits of title and escrow companies, having no contractual maturity
dates, are considered subject to more volatility than similar deposits from
commercial customers. The net cumulative gap position shown in the table above
indicates that the Bank does not have a significant exposure to interest rate
fluctuations during the next twelve months.
Capital
Total shareholders' equity was $32 million at June 30, 1995, compared to $30
million at year-end 1994. This increase was due to earnings, plus the exercise
of stock options. The Bank is guided by statutory capital requirements, which
are measured with three ratios, two of which are sensitive to the risk inherent
in various assets and which consider off-balance sheet activities in assessing
capital adequacy. During 1995 and 1994, the Bank's capital levels exceeded the
"well capitalized" standards, the highest classification established by bank
regulators.

In February of 1995, the Bank declared a dividend of $.02 per share payable
March 13, 1995 to shareholders of record February 20, 1995. The Company also
declared a dividend of $.02 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,
payable September 4, 1995 to shareholders of record August 15, 1995. No
dividends were paid in 1994 .
The common stock of the Company is listed on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ) National Market Systems where it
trades under the symbol CUBN.
Market Expansion
The Bank operates as a single business segment, providing commercial banking
services in the southern California area. The Bank is committed to expanding
the market penetration of the commercial bank, including the creation of new
branches, and pursuing acquisition opportunities.
In June, 1995, the loan production office in Camarillo was converted to a full
service Ventura County Regional Office. Additionally, the Bank has relocated
its City of Industry Regional Office to new and larger quarters in the
Crossroads Business Park to better serve the business banking needs of its
customers in the greater San Gabriel Valley.
On March 27, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Santa Ana -
based Corporate Bank in a stock transaction . Completion of this transaction is
subject to Corporate Bank shareholder approval and regulatory approvals, which
is expected late in the fourth quarter of 1995 or early in the first quarter of
1996.
Net Interest Income and Interest Rate Risk
Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees earned on
earning assets and interest paid on funding liabilities. Net interest income for
the second quarter of 1995 was $3.9 million, compared to $3.3 million for the
same period in 1994. The change is attributable to changes in volume and
deposit mix. The Bank's net interest income has improved with the growth of the
commercial loan portfolio from 1994 to 1995. This improvement was offset in
part by the change in deposit mix away from non interest bearing title and
escrow deposits.

</TABLE>
Yields on earning assets were approximately 8.9% in the first six months of
1995, compared to a 7.05% yield for the same period in 1994. The higher average
yield on earning assets in 1995 is the primarily the result of an increase in
the prime rate from an average of 6.5% in the first half of 1994 to an average
of 8.9% in the first half of 1995.
Rates on interest bearing liabilities resulted in an average cost of funds of
5.0% in 1995, compared with 2.7% for the comparable period of 1994. In addition
to the generally higher level of interest rates in 1995, certificates of deposit
represent a higher proportion of the funding liabilities, rather than lower cost
money market or savings accounts.
Expressing net interest income as a percent of average earning assets is
referred to as margin. Margin for 1995 was 5.7%, compared to 5.5% for the same
period in 1994. The Bank's margin is strong because it has funded itself with a
significant amount of noninterest bearing deposits. The higher margin in 1995
is largely due to the higher general level of interest rates.

Other Operating Income
A significant portion of other operating income in 1994 was earned as mortgage
servicing rights were sold. The Bank reported a gain of $186 thousand on the
sale of mortgage servicing in the quarter ended June 30, 1995, representing
final settlement payments received related to open issues on servicing sales
from prior quarters. The trends and composition of other operating income are
shown in the following table.

Operating Expense
Total operating expenses for the bank were $3.2 million and $6.3 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995 , compared to $3.6 million and $7.0
million for the same period in 1994. Refocusing productive resources toward
commercial banking activities and eliminating historic inefficiencies allowed
this reduction. The current level of operating expense is deemed to be adequate
and will be leveraged further as the core middle market business is expanded.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Bank has made no provision for loan losses in 1995 or 1994. No loan loss
provision has been deemed necessary for 1995 and 1994, due to the declining
levels of nonperforming assets, net recoveries received, and the strong reserve
position.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 1995
UNAUDITED
Note A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accounting and reporting policies of CU Bancorp ("the Company") and its
wholly owned subsidiary, California United Bank, N.A. ("the Bank"), are prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the banking
industry. All material inter company balances have been eliminated and all
material interim period adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flow have been made.
Note B. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods
presented, except when the effect of the latter would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE C. SECURITIES
The Bank has the intent and ability to hold its investment securities until
maturity. Accordingly, investment securities are carried at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on a straight-line basis,
which approximates the effective interest method. Gains and losses recognized on
the sale of investment securities are based upon the adjusted cost and
determined using the specific identification method.
The Bank has no securities classified as "held for sale", indicating the
willingness to sell these securities under certain conditions. These securities
would be carried at current market value with unrealized gains or losses not
recognized as current income but reported as an increase or decrease to capital
in the statements of financial condition and in the statements of shareholders'
equity.
The following tables set forth the book value and market value, of investment
securities at June 30, 1995.

</TABLE>
At June 30, 1995, investment securities with a book value of $22.9 million were
pledged to secure U.S. District Court deposits and for other purposes as
required or permitted by law.
Note D. AVERAGE FEDERAL RESERVE BALANCES
<PAGE> 16
The average cash reserve required to be maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank
was approximately $3.1 million, $6 million, and $5.8 million for the periods
ending June 30, 1995 and December 31 and June 30, 1994, respectively.
Note E. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is
also computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life
of the improvement or the term of the lease.
Note F. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
Real estate owned, acquired either through foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure, is recorded at the lower of the loan balance or estimated fair
market value. When acquired, any excess of the loan balance over the estimated
fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs,
if any, are charged to operation expenses in the periods that they become known.
There was no other real estate owned as of June 30, 1995, December 31 or June
30, 1994.
Note G. INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 1993, the Bank implemented the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
implementation had no significant impact on the financial condition or
operations of the Bank. SFAS No. 109 utilizes the liability method and deferred
taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given
the provisions of the enacted tax laws.
Note H. LOANS
Loans are carried at face amount, less payments collected, allowance for loan
losses, and unamortized deferred fees. Interest on loans is accrued monthly on a
simple interest basis. The general policy of the Bank is to discontinue the
accrual of interest and transfer loans to nonaccrual (cash basis) status where
reasonable doubt exists with respect to the timely collectibility of such
interest. Payments on nonaccrual loans are accounted for using a cost recovery
method.
Loan origination fees and commitment fees, offset by certain direct loan
origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the
loan as a yield adjustment.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to
provide for losses that can reasonably be anticipated. Management considers
current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, and other factors
in determining the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on
estimates and ultimate losses may differ from current estimates. These estimates
are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are charged
to earnings in the period in which they become known. The allowance is increased
by provisions charged to operating expenses, increased for recoveries of loans
previously charged-off, and reduced by charge-offs.
The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures," as of January 1, 1995.
SFAS 114 requires that impaired loans be <PAGE> 17
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate. When the measure of the impaired loan is
less than the recorded balance of the loan, the impairment is recorded through a
valuation allowance included in the allowance for loan losses. The Bank had
previously measured the allowance for loan losses using methods similar to the
prescribed in SFAS 114. As a result, no additional provision was required by
the adoption of this pronouncement.
At June 30, 1995, the Bank had $285 thousand in impaired loans, against which a
loss allowance of $119 thousand has been provided. All impaired loans are
included in nonaccrual status, and as such no interest income is recognized.
For the second quarter of 1995, the Bank had an average investment in impaired
loans of approximately $129 thousand.
Note I. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain items have been reclassified in the prior period financial statements
presented herein, in order to conform to classifications followed for June 30,
1995.
Note J. LEGAL MATTERS
In the normal course of business the Bank occasionally becomes a party to
litigation. In the opinion of management, based upon consultation with legal
counsel, the Bank believes that pending or threatened litigation involving the
Bank will have no adverse material effect upon its financial condition, or
results of operations. The Bank is a defendant in multiple lawsuits related to
the failure of two real estate investment companies, Property Mortgage Company,
Inc., ("PMC") and S.L.G.H., Inc. ("SLGH"). The lawsuits, consist of a federal
action by investors in PMC and SLGH (the "Federal Investor Action"), at least
three state court actions by groups of Investors (the "State Investor Actions"),
and an action filed by the Resolution Agent for the combined and reorganized
bankruptcy estate of PMC and SLGH (the "Neilson" Action). An additional action
was filed by an individual investor and his related pension and profit sharing
plans (the "Individual Investor Action"). Other defendants in these multiple
actions and in related actions include financial institutions, title companies,
professionals, business entities and individuals, including the principals of
PMC and SLGH. The Bank was a depository bank for PMC, SLGH and related
companies and was a lender to certain principals of PMC and SLGH ("Individual
Loans"). Plaintiffs allege that PMC/SLGH was or purported to be engaged in the
business of raising money from investors by the sale and issuance of interests
in loans evidenced by promissory notes secured by real property. Plaintiffs
allege that false representations were made, and the investment merely
constituted a "Ponzi" scheme. Other charges relate to the Bank's conduct with
regard to the depository accounts, the lending relationship with the principals
and certain collateral taken , pledged by PMC and SLGH in conjunction with the
Individual Loans. The lawsuits allege inter alia violations of federal and state
securities laws, fraud, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and conversion as
well as conspiracy and aiding and abetting counts with regard to these
violations. The Bank denies the allegations of wrongdoing. Damages in excess
of $100 million have been alleged, and compensatory and punitive damages have
been sought generally against all defendants, although no specific damages have
been prayed for with regard to the Bank, nor has there been any apportioning of
liability among defendants or attributable to the various claims asserted. A
former officer and director of the Bank has also been named as a defendant. The
Bank and the named officer/director have notified the Bank's insurance carriers
of the various lawsuits. During 1994, the Court granted the Bank's motion for
summary judgment in the Individual Investor Action. An appeal of that Order
was filed by the plaintiffs. The plaintiff in the Individual Investor Action
will be a member of the settling class and in connection with the settlement
discussed below, that appeal will be dismissed. The Bank has entered into a
settlement agreement with the representatives of the various plaintiffs, which
has now been consummated, with the dismissal of all of the above referenced
cases, with prejudice, against the Bank, its officers and directors, with the
exception of the officer/director previously named pending. Court approval of
these settlements was been received. In connection with the settlement, the Bank
released its security interest in certain disputed collateral and <PAGE> 18
cash proceeds thereof, which the Bank received from PMC, SLGH, or the
principals, in connection with the Individual Loans. This collateral has been a
subject of dispute in the Neilson Action, with both the Bank and the
representatives of PMC/SLGH asserting the right to such collateral. All the
Individual Loans have been charged off, previously. The Bank also made a cash
payment to the Plaintiffs in connection with the settlement. In connection with
the settlement the Bank assigned its rights, if any, under various insurance
policies, to the Plaintiffs. The settlement does not resolve the claims
asserted against the officer/director. The Bank is still providing a defense to
its former director/officer who continues as a defendant and who retains his
rights of indemnity, if any, against the Bank arising out of his status as a
former employee. At this time the only viable claims which remain against the
former director/employee are claims of negligence in connection with certain
depository relationships with PMC/SLGH. While the Bank's Director and Officer
Liability Insurer has not acknowledged coverage of any potential judgment or
cost of defense, the Insurer is on notice of the action and has participated in
various aspects of the case.
