FINANCIAL REVIEW

The following discussion presents information about the results of operations,
financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of Imperial Bancorp ("the
Company") for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998.  This
information should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1997 consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto, and the accompanying quarterly unaudited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Net income for the second quarter of 1998 increased to $16.6 million, or $0.40
per diluted share, from $11.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the
second quarter of 1997.  The annualized return on average total assets increased
to 1.36% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, from 1.25% for the same period of
1997.  The annualized return on average shareholders' equity increased to 17.55%
for the second quarter of 1998 compared with 14.34% for the second quarter of
1997.  Net income for the second quarter of 1998 includes gains net of
commission expense totaling $6.7 million after-tax from the exercise and sale of
equity warrants, and an incremental loan loss provision of $4.1 million after-
tax relating to a charge-off on one commercial loan.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased to $29.9 million,
or $0.72 per diluted share, from $18.9 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for
the first six months of 1997.  The annualized return on average total assets
increased to 1.30% for the first half of 1998, compared with 1.13% for the first
half of 1997.  The annualized return on average shareholders' equity increased
to 16.37% for the first half of 1998, compared with 12.75% for the same period
of 1997. Net income for the first half of 1998 and 1997 includes after-tax
gains, net of commission expense, from the exercise and sale of equity warrants
totaling $7.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Earnings per share calculations for the prior periods have been adjusted to
reflect a three-for-two stock split effected on February 6, 1998.

Net income increased 51% and 58%, respectively, for the second quarter and first
six months of 1998 compared with the comparable periods of 1997.  The increase
in year-to-date net income is largely attributable to growth in loans and to
increases in gains on the exercise and sale of equity warrants and fee-based
income.  Average loan balances for the current quarter and year-to-date
increased approximately 40% compared with the comparable periods of 1997.  Loan
growth is expected to continue for the balance of 1998 but at a more moderate
pace.

Net interest income increased to $65.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998, compared with $47.8 million for the same period of 1997.  Net interest
income for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased to $125.7 million from
$88.0 million for the first half of 1997.  The Company's net interest margin
decreased to 5.93% for the second quarter of 1998 compared with 6.12% for the
second quarter of 1997, however, on a year-to-date basis, the net interest
margin increased to 6.07% for 1998 from 5.98% for the same period of 1997.  The
decrease in the net interest margin for the second quarter of 1998 is largely
due to a decrease in loan yields.  The Company's cost of funds for the second
quarter of of 1998 decreased slightly from the same period of 1997.

The provision for loan losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1998, totaled $14.1 million and $20.0 million, respectively.  The provision for
loan losses for the comparable periods of the prior year totaled $4.4 million
and $7.7 million, respectively.  The increases in the provision for loan losses
for the quarter and year-to-date compared to the prior year reflect loan growth
and net charge-offs recorded in the second quarter of 1998.  Charge-offs for the
second
                                       1

quarter of 1998 include $7.0 million related to one commercial loan.  The
Company's loan portfolio increased by $429.1 million, or 15%, since December 31,
1997.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to period end outstanding
loans was 1.80% at June 30, 1998, 1.83% at December 31, 1997, and 1.81% at June
30, 1997.

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased to $35.5
million from $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 1998 includes gains totaling $16.6
million from the exercise and sale of equity warrants.  Excluding gains on
equity warrants, noninterest income increased 25% to $18.9 million for the
second quarter of 1998 from $15.2 million for the second quarter of 1997.
Noninterest income for the first half of 1998 increased to $36.6 million,
excluding $17.0 million in gains on equity warrants, from $26.7 million for the
first half of 1997, excluding $2.5 million in gains on equity warrants and $2.8
million recognized on the appreciation of Imperial Credit Industries, Inc.
("ICII") (NASDAQ-NMS-ICII) stock donated to not-for-profit organizations in the
first quarter of 1997. The increase in noninterest income for the quarter and
year-to-date compared with the prior year is primarily due to growth in fee-
based service income including: merchant card processing fees, international
income, fees derived from the sale of nonproprietory mutual funds, factoring
fees, trust fees and service charges on deposits.

Noninterest expense increased to $59.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998, from $40.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Noninterest expense totaled $109.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998, compared with $80.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The
increase in noninterest expense for the current quarter and year-to-date
compared with the prior year occurred primarily in salary and benefits expense
and customer services expense.  The increase in salary and benefits expense is
primarily the result of expansion in the Company's core lending and deposit
businesses and related support operations, and the addition of new offices.
Benefits expense includes $5.0 million of commissions associated with the
exercise and sale of equity warrants.  The increase in customer services expense
can be attributed to the growth in deposit balances generated by the Financial
Services Group.

Total assets at June 30, 1998, were $6.2 billion, an increase of 32% from total
assets of $4.7 billion reported at December 31, 1997, and a 50% increase over
total assets of $4.1 billion reported at June 30, 1997.  Total loans at June 30,
1998, were $3.2 billion, a 15% increase from $2.8 billion reported at December
31, 1997, and a 37% increase over $2.4 billion reported at June 30, 1997.  The
growth in the loan portfolio occurred primarily in commercial loans.

Total deposits at June 30, 1998, were $5.5 billion, an increase of 33% over
total deposits of $4.2 billion at December 31, 1997, and a 56% increase over
total deposits of $3.5 billion at June 30, 1997.  Noninterest-bearing demand
deposits increased to $3.6 billion at June 30, 1998, from $2.4 billion at
December 31, 1997, and $1.9 billion at June 30, 1997.  Noninterest-bearing
demand deposits represented 64% of total deposits at June 30, 1998, compared
with 57% at December 31, 1997 and 53% at June 30, 1997.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $25.9 million at June 30, 1998, compared with $10.6
million at December 31, 1997, and $7.9 million at June 30, 1997.  Restructured
loans totaled $23.7 million at June 30, 1998, $24.0 million at December 31,
1997, and $24.1 million at June 30, 1997.  All restructured loans were
performing in accordance with their modified terms at June 30, 1998.  The
balance of real estate owned and other assets net of allowance ("OREO") was $3.3
million at June 30, 1998, $3.3 million at December 31, 1997, and $3.0 million at
June 30, 1997.

Imperial Bancorp is classified as "Well Capitalized" with leverage, Tier I and
total capital ratios at June 30, 1998, of 9.32%, 10.25% and 11.57%,
respectively, compared to 8.61%, 9.67% and 11.06%, respectively, at June 30,
1997.

SPIN OFF

On February 27, 1998, the Company received from the Internal Revenue Service a
ruling favorable to the Company's proposed spin off, in a tax free distribution
to shareholders, of a portion of the Company's specialty lending and finance
businesses (the Lewis Horwitz Organization, the small business lending division,
Imperial Trust Company and the Company's investment in Imperial Credit
Industries, Inc.) into a newly formed corporation, Imperial Financial Group,
Inc. ("IFG").  On June 18, 1998, the Company announced that the Board of
Directors set a record date of September 17, 1998, for the spin off of IFG with
the distribution to occur on October 1, 1998.  Shareholders as of the record
date will receive one share of IFG for each two shares of Imperial Bancorp
owned.  The spin off, which is in the form of a dividend to the Company's
shareholders as of the record date, is subject to certain remaining conditions
including the finalization of financing and other necessary regulatory approvals
which the Company expects to receive.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
Prior to distributing the common stock of IFG to the Company's shareholders, the
Company will contribute to IFG the following: (i) the assets and liabilities
relating to The Lewis Horwitz Organization, a division of Imperial Bank ("the
Bank") that specializes in motion picture and television financing, (ii) all of
the common stock of Imperial Trust Company, a California licensed trust company
that offers a wide range of trust and investment management services, (iii) all
of the common stock of a newly formed industrial loan company, Crown American
Bank, that holds the assets and liabilities of the Bank's Small Business
Administration ("SBA") lending business that provides loans to small businesses,
a portion of which are guaranteed as to repayment by the U.S. Government, and
(iv) the common stock owned by the Bank (representing approximately 23% of all
outstanding common stock as of June 30, 1998) in ICII.

Total assets of the entities comprising IFG approximated $245.6 million at June
30, 1998.  Revenues of IFG, including  interest income and  noninterest  income
would have approximated $23.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
The contribution agreement, as currently contemplated, calls for the Company to
contribute to IFG the following: net assets approximating the Company's net
investment in ICII, the Company's investment in Crown American Bank and Imperial
Trust Company, and approximately $11.8 million in cash (totaling $75.4 million
at June 30, 1998).

The Company's pro forma leverage, Tier 1, and total capital ratios at June 30,
1998, reflecting the spin off of IFG were 8.20%, 9.06% and 10.31%, respectively.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

Net Interest Income:

The Company's operating results depend primarily on net interest income.  Net
interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning
assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest margin
is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning
assets.  Net interest income increased to $65.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, from $47.8 million for the same period of the prior year.
The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the growth in loans.
Growth in the average balances of securities available for sale and Fed funds
sold also contributed to the increase in net interest income.  Total average
earning assets increased to $4.4 billion for the three months ended June 30,
1998, compared with $3.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

================================================================================================================
</TABLE>
 
The Company's net interest margin decreased to 5.93% for the second quarter of
1998 from 6.12% for the second quarter of 1997.  The decrease in the net
interest margin for the current quarter is largely due to a decline in the yield
on commercial loans.  While the overall pricing of loan products remained fairly
stable, the Company did experience a reduction in yield on selected loan
products, and the yield on commercial loans was negatively impacted during the
second quarter by an increase in nonaccrual loans.  The net interest margin was
favorably impacted by a modest reduction in the Company's cost of funds due in
large part to the growth in noninterest-bearing deposits.  On a year-to-date
basis, the net interest margin increased to 6.07% for the first half of 1998
compared with 5.98% for the first half of 1997.  The increase in the year-to-
date net interest margin is due to growth in loans and other earning assets.
Additional information concerning interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and the yields and rates thereon for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1998, is provided in Table 1-Average Balances, Yields and Rates
Paid on page 21 of this Form 10-Q.

In conformity with banking industry practice, payments for accounting, courier
and other deposit-related services provided to the Company's Financial Services
Group depositors are recorded as noninterest expense. If these deposits were
treated as interest-bearing and the payments reclassified as interest expense,
the Company's reported net interest income and noninterest expense would have
been reduced by $6.9 million and $12.8 million, respectively, for the three

                                       3

<PAGE>
 
months and six months ended June 30, 1998, and by $4.3 million and $7.9 million,
respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997.  The net
interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, would have
been 5.30% and 5.57%, respectively.  The net interest margin for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, would have been 5.45% and 5.44%, respectively

Noninterest Income:

Noninterest income increased to $35.5 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998, from $16.0 million for the second quarter of 1997.  For the first six
months of 1998, noninterest income increased to $53.6 million from $32.1 million
for the prior year. The table below provides the major components of noninterest
income for the periods indicated:

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 1998 includes gains totaling $16.6
million from the exercise and sale of equity warrants.  Excluding gains on
equity warrants, noninterest income increased 24.7% to $18.9 million for the
second quarter of 1998 from $15.2 million for the second quarter of 1997.
Noninterest income for the first half of 1998 increased to $36.6 million,
excluding $17.0 million in gains on equity warrants, from $26.7 million for the
first half of 1997, excluding gains on equity warrants and $2.8 million
recognized on the appreciation of ICII stock donated to not-for-profit
organizations in the first quarter of 1997. The Company continues to experience
growth in fee-based service income including: merchant card processing fees,
international income, fees derived from the sale of nonproprietory mutual funds,
factoring fees, trust fees and service charges on deposits.  The increases in
fee income were related to higher volumes in the respective operations.  The
Company's equity in the earnings of ICII increased slightly for the second
quarter of 1998 to $3.8 million from $3.5 million for the prior year.  For the
first six months of 1998, equity in the earnings of ICII increased to $6.7
million from $5.0 million for the prior year.  In the first quarter of 1997,
ICII recorded an extraordinary loss due to the early retirement of debt which
resulted in an after-tax loss of approximately $4.0 million.  The Company's
pretax share of this loss was $1.0 million.  The increases in fee income and in
the equity in ICII's net income were offset in part by decreases in gains on
trading instruments and gains on the sale of securities available for sale.

Noninterest Expense:

Noninterest expense totaled $59.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998, compared with $40.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Noninterest expense for the first half of 1998 totaled $109.2 million compared
with $80.5 million for the first half of 1997.  The table below provides detail

===================================================================================================================
</TABLE>

The increase in noninterest expense for the current quarter and year-to-date
compared with the prior year occurred primarily in salary and benefits expense,
customer services expense and other noninterest expense.  The increase in salary
and benefits expense is primarily the result of the Company's growth.  The
number of full-time equivalent staff increased 28% to 1,146 at June 30, 1998,
compared with 898 at June 30, 1997.  The increase in staff reflects additions to
lending and deposit personnel at existing offices, the opening of two loan
production offices and Imperial Bank Arizona, and additions to operations staff
to support the Company's growth.  Benefits expense for the second quarter of
1998 includes $5.0 million of commissions associated with the exercise and sale
of equity warrants.  Excluding commissions related to warrants, salaries and
benefits expense increased 31% for the second quarter of 1998 compared to the
second quarter of 1997.  The Company's expansion has also led to increases in
occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses.

Customer services expense increased to $6.9 million for the second quarter of
1998 from $4.3 million for the prior year. For the first half of 1998, customer
services expense totaled $12.8 million compared with $7.9 million for the same
period of 1997.  The Company pays certain accounting and courier expenses on
behalf of its Financial Services Group depositors. The increase in customer
services expense is directly related to the growth in Financial Services Group
demand deposits. The average balance of these demand deposits increased
approximately $633.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared
with the comparable period of 1997.

Other noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1998 totaling $6.8 million
includes $660,000 of amortization related to the  Company's investment in low
income housing tax credits.  The Company's gross investment in low income
housing tax credits increased to $8.1 million at June 30, 1998, from $2.6
million at December 31, 1997.  Other noninterest expense for the current quarter
and year-to-date also reflects increases in travel, supplies and telephone
expenses related to the Company's growth.

The increases in noninterest expense discussed above were partially offset by a
reduction in contributions expense.  Contributions expense for the first half of
1997 included a $3.7 million donation of ICII stock to not-for-profit
organizations.

Income Taxes:

The Company recorded income tax expense of $10.8 million and $7.5 million,
respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. Income tax expense
was $20.2 million and $12.7 million, respectively, for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997. The Company's effective tax rate was 40.3% for the six month
period ended June 30, 1998, and 40.0% for the six month period ended June 30,
1997.

</TABLE>

The Company continued to experience strong loan demand in its core California
markets during the second quarter of 1998 and the relative distribution by
industry type remained consistent with year end 1997. The out-of-state loan
production offices opened in 1996 and 1997 also contributed to the Company's
loan growth. Management expects loan growth to continue through 1998 and into
1999 although at a more moderate pace.

ASSET QUALITY

Nonaccrual Loans, Restructured Loans and Real Estate Owned:

Nonaccrual loans, which includes loans 90 days or more past due, totaled $25.9
million at June 30, 1998, compared with $10.6 million at December 31, 1997, and
$7.9 million at June 30, 1997. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans
outstanding were 0.81% at June 30, 1998, 0.38% at December 31, 1997, and 0.34%
at June 30, 1997. Loans totaling $21.4 million were placed on nonaccrual status
during the three months ended June 30, 1998.  The increase in nonaccrual loans
was partially offset by gross charge-offs totaling $3.9 million, payoffs
totaling $2.3 million, loans brought current totaling $592,000 and loans
transferred to OREO totaling $915,000.  The increase in nonaccrual loans during
the second quarter of 1998 comprises $19.8 million of commercial loans,
including one $5.9 million loan, and two real estate loans totaling $1.6
million.  For the six months ended June 30, 1998, nonaccrual loans increased by
$28.8 million.  The increase in the balance of nonaccrual loans was partially
offset by gross charge-offs totaling $5.4 million, payoffs totaling $3.5
million, loans brought current totaling $3.7 million and loans transferred to
OREO totaling $915,000.  At June 30, 1998, the Company had loans totaling $1.1
million that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.  The
majority of these loans were government-guaranteed Small Business Administration
("SBA") loans.  When a loan reaches nonaccrual status, any interest accrued but
uncollected is reversed and charged against current income.

Restructured loans, loans that have had their original terms modified, totaled
$23.7 million, $24.0 million and $24.1 million at June 30, 1998, December 31,
1997, and June 30, 1997, respectively.  The net decrease in restructured loans
since December 31, 1997, reflects payments received totaling $1.1 million offset
in part by the addition of one commercial loan.

Real estate and other assets owned ("OREO") include properties acquired through
foreclosure or through full or partial satisfaction of loans. The difference
between the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated costs of disposal,
and the loan balance at the time of transfer to OREO is reflected in the
allowance for loan losses as a charge-off. Any subsequent declines in the fair
value of the property after the date of transfer are recorded through a
provision for writedowns on OREO. OREO net of valuation allowances totaled $3.3
million, $3.3 million and $3.0 million at June 30, 1998, December 31, 1997, and
June 30, 1997, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 1998, four
properties were added to OREO and six properties were sold.  A net loss of
$67,000 was recognized on the sales.

The following table provides information on nonaccrual loans, restructured loans
and real estate and other assets owned as indicated:

All loans on nonaccrual status are considered to be impaired; however, not all
impaired loans are on nonaccrual status. Impaired loans on accrual status must
meet the following criteria: all payments must be current and the loan
underwriting must support the debt service requirements. Factors that contribute
to a performing loan being classified as impaired include: a below market
interest rate, delinquent taxes and debts to other lenders that cannot be
serviced out of existing cash flow.

The following table contains information for loans deemed impaired:

Loans classified as impaired totaled $76.5 million at June 30, 1998, compared to
$93.0 million at December 31, 1997. During the first half of 1998, $44.8 million
of loans were newly classified as impaired.  The increase in impaired  loans was
offset by the receipt of payments on impaired loans totaling $49.4 million,
charge-offs totaling $6.6 million, loans removed from impaired status totaling
$4.3 million and loans transferred to OREO of $915,000. The Company's average
recorded investment in impaired loans for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
was $83.4 million. Interest income totaling approximately $4.0 million was
collected on impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 1998.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses:

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered appropriate by
management and is based on an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the
loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for
loan losses which is charged against current period operating results, and is
decreased by the amount of net charge-offs during the period. The Company's
determination of the level of the allowance for loan losses, and
correspondingly, the provision for loan losses is based upon various judgments
and assumptions, including general economic conditions (especially in
California), loan growth, loan portfolio composition and concentrations, prior
loan loss experience, collateral value, identification of problem and potential
problem loans and other relevant data to identify the risks in the loan
portfolio. While management believes that the allowance for loan losses is
adequate at June 30, 1998, future additions to the allowance will be subject to
continuing evaluation of inherent risk in the loan portfolio.

At June 30, 1998, the allowance for loan losses equaled $58.0 million, or 1.80%
of total loans, compared with $51.1 million, or 1.83% of total loans, at
December 31, 1997, and $42.6 million, or 1.81%  of total loans, at June 30,
1997. The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses.

The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
totaled $20.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively.  The increase in the
provision for loan losses compared with the prior year reflects loan growth and
net charge-offs recorded in the second quarter of 1998.  Charge-offs for the
second quarter of 1998 include $7.0 million related to one commercial loan.  The
average balance of the Company's loan portfolio increased by $899.9 million, or
41%, for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared with the comparable period
of the prior year.  As a percentage of average loans outstanding, annualized net
charge-offs were 0.85% for the first half of 1998 compared with 0.12% for the
first half of 1997.

Securities:

Securities available for sale increased to $755.8 million at June 30, 1998, from
$669.3 million at December 31, 1997. Federal funds sold and securities purchased
under resale agreements increased to $1.5 billion at June 30, 1998, from $765.0
million at December 31, 1997. The increase in these balances is a function of
the growth in deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased to $3.6
billion at June 30, 1998, from $2.4 billion at December 31, 1997. The growth in
demand balances occurred primarily in real estate services deposits which
increased to $2.5 billion at June 30, 1998, from $1.4 billion at December 31,
1997. The remaining increase in demand balances is due to growth in commercial
deposits.

Other Borrowings:

Short-term borrowings increased to $136.0 million at June 30, 1998, from $55.9
million at December 31, 1997. Increases of $95.1 million in borrowed funds
backed by Treasury, Tax and Loan ("T,T&L") deposits and $8.9 million in
commercial paper were offset in part by a $23.9 million decrease in Federal
funds purchased and reverse repurchase balances.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Liquidity:

Liquidity management involves the Company's ability to meet the cash flow
requirements of its lending and deposit businesses. For the Company, as with
most commercial banking institutions, this involves an ongoing process of
managing the cash inflows and outflows associated with a commercial deposit
base. The Company's ability to acquire new deposits at pricing levels consistent
with management's targets is largely based upon its financial condition and
capital base.

The Company's liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and investment
securities, excluding those pledged as collateral. The majority of the Company's
securities portfolio is held as available for sale. Available for sale
securities can be sold in response to liquidity needs or used as collateral
under reverse repurchase agreements. It is the Company's policy to maintain a
minimum liquidity ratio (liquid  assets to deposits) of 20% and to limit gross
loans to no more than 80% of deposits. At June 30, 1998, the Company's liquidity
ratio was 40% and the loan to deposit ratio was 58%.

The overall liquidity position of the Company has been enhanced by a sizable
base of demand deposits resulting from the Company's longstanding relationships
with the real estate services industry which have provided a relatively stable
and low cost funding base. Total demand deposits averaged $2.3 billion for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998, compared with $1.4 billion for the same period of
1997. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, approximately 37% of average total
deposits were from the real estate services industry compared to 28% of average
total deposits for the same period of 1997. The Company's average demand
deposits and average shareholders' equity funded approximately 53% and 47%,
respectively, of average total assets for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997.

These funding sources are augmented by payments of principal and interest on
loans, the routine liquidation of securities from the trading and available for
sale portfolios, Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale
agreements. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company experienced a
net cash outflow from its investing activities of approximately $1.3 billion.
The net outflow related to investing activities can be attributed to growth in
the Company's loan portfolio, an outflow of $415.4 million, and a $753.0 million
increase in Federal funds sold. The outflow in investing activities was offset
by the $1.5 billion net cash provided by the Company's financing activities. Net
cash inflows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
included net increases in deposits totaling $1.4 billion, and $80.1 million
provided by an increase in short-term borrowings.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Management:

The primary objective of the asset liability management process is to manage the
Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations while maintaining adequate
levels of liquidity and capital. In order to manage its interest rate
sensitivity, the Company has adopted policies which attempt to limit the change
in pretax net interest income assuming various interest rate scenarios. This is
accomplished by adjusting the repricing characteristics of the Company's assets
and liabilities as

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
interest rates change. The Company's Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO") chooses
strategies in conformance with its policies to achieve an appropriate trade off
between interest rate sensitivity and the volatility of pretax net interest
income and net interest margin.

Each month, the Company assesses its overall exposure to potential changes in
interest rates and the impact such changes may have on net interest income and
the net interest margin by simulating various interest rate scenarios over
future time periods. Through the use of these simulations, the Company can
approximate the impact these projected rate changes may have on its entire on
and off-balance sheet position, on any particular segment of the balance sheet,
and overall profitability.

Cumulative interest sensitivity gap represents the difference between interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing, whichever
is earlier, at a given point in time. At June 30, 1998, the Company maintained a
positive one year gap of approximately $2.5 billion; meaning its interest rate
sensitive assets exceeded its interest rate sensitive liabilities. This positive
cumulative gap position indicates that the Company is asset sensitive and
positioned for increased net interest income during a period of rising interest
rates but also exposed to an adverse impact on net interest income in a falling
rate environment. At June 30, 1997, the Company maintained a positive one year
gap of approximately $742.0 million.

The Company's net interest margin is sensitive to sudden changes in interest
rates. In addition, the Company's interest-earning assets, primarily its loans,
are tied to the prime rate, an index which tends to react more slowly to changes
in market rates than other money market indices such as LIBOR (London Interbank
Offered Rate). The rates paid for the Company's interest-bearing liabilities,
however, do correlate with LIBOR. This mismatch creates a spread relationship
risk between the Company's Prime based assets and LIBOR correlated liabilities.

The Company has developed strategies to protect both net interest income and net
interest margin from significant movements in interest rates. These strategies
involve purchasing interest rate floors and caps with strike prices that
generally adjust quarterly and are approximately 125 basis points below or above
(depending on the instrument) current market rates at the time the floors and
caps were purchased. At June 30, 1998, the Company owned exchange traded floors
totaling $4.8 billion that expire as follows: $1.0 billion per quarter for the
third and fourth quarters of 1998, $1.3  billion in the first quarter of 1999
and $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 1999. The floors provide the Company
protection in the event that the three-month LIBOR rate drops below their
respective strike prices. The floors have an average strike price of 4.88%. The
unrealized gain on the floors approximated $241,000 at June 30, 1998. The
unamortized premium relating to the floors was $311,000 at June 30, 1998.

In March 1998, the Company purchased an over the counter interest rate cap with
a notional value outstanding of  $1.0 billion at June 30, 1998. The cap provides
protection in the event that the three-month LIBOR increases above the 8.33%
strike price of the cap and expires during the first quarter of  2001.  The
unrealized gain on this cap at June 30, 1998, approximated $43,000. The
unamortized premium paid for the cap approximated $444,000 at June 30, 1998.

In the first quarter of 1997, the Company sold $27.0 million of ten-year
certificates of deposit with a fixed rate of 7.15%.  These long-term
certificates of deposit are callable by the Company after one year and semi-
annually after that. In order to minimize the interest rate risk of paying out a
fixed rate for ten years, the Company executed an interest rate swap transaction
with a notional value of $27.0 million in the first quarter of 1997. The
interest rate swap requires the Company to pay a rate of three-month LIBOR less
10 basis points, quarterly for ten years. Simultaneously, the Company will
receive quarterly interest payments at a fixed rate of 7.15% for ten years. The
unrealized gain on this swap at June 30, 1998, approximated $573,000.

In April 1997, the Company issued $75.0 million of 9.98% capital securities (the
"Capital Securities") and entered into three fixed for floating interest rate
swaps with a total notional value of $75.0 million in order to convert the
Capital Securities to a floating rate. The swaps require the Company to pay
three-month LIBOR and receive a fixed rate of 7.18% on $25.0 million, 7.186% on
$25.0 million and 7.187% on the remaining $25.0 million. The maturity and fixed
payment due dates on the swaps coincide with the call date and payment dates of
the Capital Securities.  The unrealized gain on the swaps approximated $6.9
million at June 30, 1998.

In June 1998, the Company entered into two fixed for floating interest rate
swaps with a total notional value of $5.0 million.  The swaps require the
Company to pay three-month LIBOR and receive a fixed rate of 5.95%.  The swaps

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
mature in June 1999.  Concurrently, the Company entered into interest rate swaps
with its subsidiary, Crown American Bank.  The notional amount, maturity and
payment due dates on the swaps coincide with the original swaps, however, the
payment terms require the Company to pay a fixed rate of 5.95% and receive
three-month LIBOR.  The purpose of the swaps is to convert a similar amount of
one-year fixed rate time certificates of deposit acquired on behalf of Crown
American Bank as part of a $35.0 million time deposit acquisition program to a
floating rate.  There was no unrealized gain on the swaps at June 30, 1998.

CAPITAL SECURITIES

On April 23, 1997, Imperial Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a statutory business
trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued in a private placement
transaction $75.0 million of 9.98% Capital Securities which represent undivided
preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust. The Company is the
owner of all the beneficial interests represented by the common securities of
the Trust (the "Common Securities"), together with the Capital Securities, (the
"Trust Securities"). The Trust exists for the sole purpose of issuing the Trust
Securities and investing the proceeds thereof in 9.98% junior subordinated
deferrable interest debentures (the "Junior Subordinated Debentures") issued by
the Company and engaging in certain other limited activities. The Junior
Subordinated Debentures held by the Trust will mature on December 31, 2026.

The Indenture for the Capital Securities includes provisions that restrict the
payment of dividends under certain conditions and changes in ownership of the
Trust. The Indenture also includes provisions relating to the payment of
expenses associated with the issuance of the Capital Securities. The Company was
in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture at June 30, 1998.

The Company used $30.0 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the Junior
Subordinated Debentures to make an additional investment in the Bank during
1997. An additional $37.2 million investment was made in the Bank in January
1998. The remainder of the proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes
or may be used for additional capital contributions to the Bank or to pursue
investment opportunities. The Capital Securities qualify as Tier I capital under
the capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve. The net principal balance of the
Capital Securities was $73.3 million at June 30, 1998.

CAPITAL

Until 1997, the primary source of new capital for the Company, has been retained
earnings from operations, with the exception of its long-term debt offering in
1979, and the exercise of employee stock options. On April 23, 1997, Imperial
Capital Trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued in a private
placement transaction $75.0 million of 9.98% capital securities. See - "Capital
Securities." At June 30, 1998, shareholders' equity totaled $389.4 million, an
11% increase over the $352.0 million reported at December 31, 1997. In the first
six months of 1998, the Company recorded an additional $2.4 million of
shareholders' equity from the exercise of employee stock options. The Company
receives a tax deduction upon the exercise of nonqualified stock options for
the difference between the option price and the market value of the shares
issued. The tax benefit associated with shares exercised, which is recorded as a
component of shareholders' equity, approximated $4.6 million in for the first
six months of 1998.

Management is committed to maintaining capital at a level sufficient to assure
shareholders, customers and regulators that the Company and its bank
subsidiaries are financially sound. The Company and its bank subsidiaries are
subject to risk-based capital regulations adopted by the federal banking
regulators in January 1990. These guidelines are used to evaluate capital
adequacy and are based on an institution's asset risk profile and off-balance
sheet exposures. The risk-based capital guidelines assign risk weightings to
assets both on and off-balance sheet and place increased emphasis on common
equity. Federal law requires each Federal banking agency to take prompt
corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions
including, but not limited to, those that fall below one or more prescribed
capital ratios. According to the regulations, institutions whose Tier I and
total capital ratios meet or exceed 6% and 10%, respectively, are deemed to be
"well capitalized". Tier I capital basically consists of common shareholders'
equity and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interest of
consolidated subsidiaries minus intangible assets. Based on the guidelines, the
Company's Tier I and total capital ratios at June 30, 1998, were 10.25% and
11.57%, respectively, compared to 9.67% and 11.06%, respectively, at June 30,
1997. The Capital Securities discussed above qualify as Tier I capital and
therefore contributed to the increase in the Company's capital ratios compared
with the prior year.

Risk-weighted assets for the Company and the Bank were $4,444 million and $4,369
million, respectively, at June 30, 1998. Average assets for the Company and the
Bank were $4,887 million and $4,787 million, respectively, at June 30, 1998.

In addition to the risk-weighted ratios, all banks are required to maintain
leverage ratios, to be determined on an individual basis, but not below a
minimum of 3%. The ratio is defined as Tier I capital to average total assets
for the most recent quarter. The Company's leverage ratio was 9.32% at June 30,
1998, compared to 8.61% at June 30, 1997, well in excess of minimum regulatory
requirements.

In anticipation of the spin off of IFG, Imperial Bancorp contributed $67.2
million of the proceeds from the Capital Securities to the Bank as additional
capital to ensure that the Bank's risk-based capital ratios continue to meet the
well capitalized criteria. The Company will evaluate the capital needs of the
Bank following the spin off to determine whether  additional capital is
required.

The Company's pro forma leverage, Tier 1, and total capital ratios at June 30,
1998, reflecting the spin off of IFG were 8.20%, 9.06% and 10.31%, respectively.

YEAR 2000

To fulfill the Company's business responsibility and ensure compliance with
regulatory requirements, the Company has established a year 2000 readiness
program with the objective of having the Company year 2000 compliant by mid-
1999. The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computers that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. The Company's year 2000 readiness
program is managed by an enterprise-wide Program Office ("Office") under the
guidance of the Company's Management Committee. The Office is staffed with
representatives from each of the Company's primary business units. Within some
business units, the Office representative is supported by a business unit year
2000 project team. The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its
computer systems. All systems have been evaluated and classified as critical,
important or ordinary. All hardware has been tested, with those requiring
upgrades or replacement identified. All vendor readiness efforts are being
monitored. The Office presently believes that, with updates and upgrades to
existing software and/or minimal conversions to new software, the year 2000 will
not pose significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems.
Based on its identification and analysis of necessary year 2000 updates and
enhancements, the Company anticipates that it will incur costs of approximately
$5 million related to the year 2000 project.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

SFAS NO. 130 - REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130") establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-
purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS No. 130 does not require
a specific format for that financial statement but requires that an enterprise
display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the period in that
financial statement.

SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods
provided for comparative purposes is required. The Company adopted the
applicable provisions of SFAS No. 130 effective January 1, 1998.  Total
comprehensive income is disclosed in a footnote to the interim financial
statements for each period presented.  See Note 5 on page 20 of this Form 10-Q.

SFAS NO. 131 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED
INFORMATION

SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 supersedes SFAS Statement No.
14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," but retains the
requirement to report information about major customers. It amends SFAS
Statement No. 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries," to remove
the special disclosure requirements for previously unconsolidated subsidiaries.

SFAS No. 131 requires that a public business enterprise report financial and
descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating
segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the
basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding
how to allocate resources to segments.

SFAS No. 131 requires that a public business enterprise report a measure of
segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment
assets. It requires reconciliation's of total segment revenues, total segment
profit or loss, total segment assets, and other amounts disclosed for segments
to corresponding amounts in the enterprise's general-purpose financial
statements. It requires that all public business enterprises report information
about the revenues derived from the enterprise's products or services (or groups
of similar products and services), about the countries in which the enterprise
earns revenues and holds assets, and about major customers regardless of whether
that information is used in making operating decisions. However, SFAS No. 131
does not require an enterprise to report information that is not prepared for
internal use if reporting it would be impracticable.

SFAS No. 131 also requires that a public business enterprise report descriptive
information about the way that the operating segments were determined, the
products and services provided by the operating segments, differences between
the measurements used in reporting segment information and those used in the
enterprise's general-purpose financial statements, and changes in the
measurement of segment amounts from period to period.

SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative information
for earlier years is to be restated. This statement need not be applied to
interim financial statements in the initial year of its application, but
comparative information for interim periods in the initial year of application
is to be reported in financial statements for interim periods in the second year
of application. The Company adopted the applicable provisions of SFAS No. 131
effective January 1, 1998. Segment disclosures will be presented in the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998.

SFAS NO. 133 - ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities."  SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities.  It
requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial condition and the measurement of those instruments at
fair value.  Recognition of changes in fair value will be recognized into income
or as a component of other comprehensive income depending upon the type of the
derivative and its related hedge, if any.  SFAS No. 133 is effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
IMPERIAL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include
all footnotes as would be necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. However, these interim financial
statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion
of the management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring
nature. The Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Income and
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows are presented in the same format as that
used in the Company's most recently filed Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries.

NOTE (2) IMPERIAL CREDIT INDUSTRIES, INC.

At June 30, 1998, the Company owned 8.9 million shares, or approximately 23% of
the common stock of ICII. The Company does not exercise significant control over
the operations of ICII and, as such, the results of operations are accounted for
in the Company's financial statements as an equity investment. The equity
investment in ICII is carried at cost adjusted for changes in ICII's shareholder
equity including undistributed income. Transactions between ICII and the Company
occur during the normal course of business. All transactions are carried out at
substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the same time for comparable
transactions with others.

NOTE (3) STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

The following information supplements the statement of cash flows.

NOTE (5) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130") establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-
purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS No. 130 does not require
a specific format for that financial statement but requires that an enterprise
display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the period in that
financial statement.

SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods
provided for comparative purposes is required. The Company adopted the
applicable provisions of SFAS No. 130 effective January 1, 1998.  The following
table provides a summary of total comprehensive income for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997:

TABLE 2 - ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN NET INTEREST INCOME

Changes in the Company's net interest income are a function of both changes in
interest rates and changes in the average balance of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. The following table sets forth information
regarding changes in interest income and interest expense for the years
indicated. The total change is segmented into the change attributable to
variations in volume (changes in average balances multiplied by old rate) and
the change attributable to variations in interest rates (changes in rates
multiplied by old balances). The change in interest income and interest expense
attributable to both rate and volume (changes in rate multiplied by changes in
volume) is classified as rate/volume. Nonaccrual loans are included in average
loans used to compute this table. The table is not presented on a tax equivalent
basis as the effects are not material.

PART I

COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

Imperial Bancorp ("the Company") has outstanding certain employee stock options,
which options have been determined to be common stock equivalents for purposes
of computing earnings per share.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128") for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997, and for all prior periods presented.

SFAS No. 128 replaces primary EPS with basic EPS and fully diluted EPS with
diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted from issuance of common
stock that then shared in earnings.
