PART 1
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
HISTORY
Professional Bancorp, Inc. (the "Bancorp") is a bank holding company
engaged primarily in the commercial banking business through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, First Professional Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"). Bancorp was organized
under the laws of the State of California in July 1981 and reincorporated under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in August 1989. Both Bancorp and
the Bank commenced operations in August 1982. On the commencement date,
Bancorp purchased all of the outstanding stock of the Bank from the proceeds of
its initial stock offering. Bancorp's principal asset is the stock of the Bank
and, as the Bank's sole shareholder, the primary function of Bancorp is to
coordinate the general policies and activities of the Bank.
PRINCIPAL MARKETING AREA AND CONCENTRATION
The service area of the Bancorp and the Bank (the "Company") consists of
the California counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and
Ventura with a full-service office at its Santa Monica headquarters and four
full-service branches located in Beverly Hills, Tarzana, Pasadena and Redlands.
In addition, the Company has limited service facilities in Los Angeles at Cedars
Sinai Medical Center and the Hospital of the Good Samaritan. The Company is
also beginning to develop business in the northern California counties
surrounding the San Francisco Bay Area and the City of Sacramento. Since
inception, the Company has operated an in-house courier service which permits
the Company to serve areas outside of each branch's immediate vicinity.
The Company directs its services towards the professional market place with
a heavy emphasis on medical practitioners, and to a lesser extent, attorneys and
accountants. There is no significant concentration of deposits in the Company
or outstanding loans in the control of a single person or group though several
health care companies maintain deposit balances of between 1% and 5% of the
assets of the Company.
COMMERCIAL BANKING
The Company is engaged in the general commercial banking business and
provides a wide range of commercial banking services primarily directed towards
the professional community. Services include those traditionally offered by
commercial banks such as checking and savings accounts; time certificates of
deposit; and commercial, consumer/installment, home equity and short-term real
estate loans, with an emphasis on cash flow lending. The Company also offers
cashier's checks, travelers checks, safe deposit boxes, collection services,
night deposit facilities, wire transfers, notary services, contract collections,
courier services, mortgage banking and six 24-hour automated teller machines
located at the Company's Santa Monica, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Tarzana,
Pasadena, Redlands and the Hospital of the Good Samaritan facilities.
COMPETITION
The Company faces strong competition both in attracting deposits and in
making loans. The Company's competition in making loans comes principally from
commercial banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage companies, and to a
lesser degree, thrift and loan companies, credit unions and insurance companies.
Many of the nation's largest commercial banks and savings and loan associations
with which the Company competes have significantly greater lending limits than
the Company and perform other services for their customers which the Company can
offer only through correspondents or other vendors, if at all. Deregulation of
the banking industry and increased competition from non bank entities for the
cash balances of individuals and business have had and will continue to have a
significant impact on the competitive position of the Company. Competition for
loans tends to increase during periods of low interest rates. Among the
advantages of these larger institutions are their ability to make larger loans,
finance
3
<PAGE>
extensive advertising campaigns, access international money markets and
generally allocate their investment assets to regions of highest yield and
demand. Management believes that its most direct competition for deposits comes
from commercial banks, stock brokerage firms, savings and loan associations,
thrift and loan companies and credit unions. Additional significant competition
for deposits may be expected to arise from corporate and governmental debt
securities, as well as money market mutual funds. The Company does not have a
significant market share of the deposit-taking or lending activities in northern
or southern California.
In order to compete with the other financial institutions in its service
area, the Company relies principally upon local promotional activity, personal
contacts by its officers, directors, founders, employees and shareholders and
specialized services. The Company's promotional activities emphasize the
advantages of dealing with a locally-owned and headquartered institution attuned
to the particular needs of the community. For clients whose loan demands exceed
the Company's lending limits, the Company attempts to arrange for such loans on
a participation basis with its correspondent banks. The Company also assists
clients requiring services not offered by the Company to obtain these services
from its correspondent banks.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
THE EFFECT OF GOVERNMENTAL POLICY ON BANKING
The earnings and growth of the Company are affected not only by local
service area factors and general economic conditions, but also by governmental
monetary and fiscal policies. For example, the Federal Reserve Bank (the "FRB")
influences the supply of money through its open market operations in U.S.
Government securities and adjustments to the discount rates applicable to
borrowings by depository institutions and others. Such actions influence the
growth of loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates charged
on loans and paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in such
policies on the business and earnings of the Company cannot be predicted.
As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking
activities in the United States, the business of the Company is particularly
susceptible to the enactment of federal and state legislation which may have the
effect of increasing or decreasing the cost of doing business, modifying
permissible activities or enhancing the competitive position of the other
financial institutions. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a
material adverse effect on the business and prospects of the Company. In
response to various business failures in the savings and loan industry and in
the banking industry, in December 1991, Congress enacted, and the President
signed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") into law. FDICIA substantially revised the bank regulatory framework
and deposit insurance funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act
and made revisions to several other federal banking statutes.
Implementation of the various provisions of FDICIA is subject to the
adoption of regulations by the various regulatory agencies and to certain
phase-in periods. The effect of FDICIA on the Company cannot be determined
until after all the implementing regulations are adopted by the agencies.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION OF BANKS AND BANK HOLDING COMPANIES
Bancorp is a bank holding company subject to the Banking Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended ("BHCA"). Bancorp reports to, is registered with, and
may be examined by, the FRB. The FRB also has the authority to examine
Bancorp's subsidiaries. The costs of any examination by the FRB are payable by
Bancorp.
The FRB has significant supervisory and regulatory authority over Bancorp
and its affiliates. The FRB requires Bancorp to maintain certain levels of
capital. See "-Capital Standards." The FRB also has the authority to take
enforcement action against any bank holding company that commits any unsafe or
unsound
4
<PAGE>
practice, or violates certain laws, regulations or conditions imposed in writing
by the FRB. See "-Prompt Corrective Action and Other Enforcement Mechanisms."
Under BHCA, a company generally must obtain the prior approval of the FRB
before it exercises a controlling influence over, or acquires directly or
indirectly, more than 5% of any class of voting shares or substantially all of
the assets of any bank or bank holding company. Thus, Bancorp is required to
obtain the prior approval of the FRB before it acquires, merges or consolidates
with any bank or bank holding company; any company seeking to acquire, merge or
consolidate with Bancorp also would be required to obtain the approval of the
FRB.
In addition, and subject to certain exceptions, the Change in Bank Control
Act (the "Control Act") and regulations promulgated thereunder by the FRB
require any person acting directly or indirectly, or through or in concert with
one or more persons, to give the FRB 60 days' written notice before acquiring
control of a bank holding company. Transactions which are presumed to
constitute the acquisition of control include the acquisition of any voting
securities of a bank holding company having securities registered under section
12 of the Securities Exchange Act (such as the Common Stock of Bancorp) if,
after the transaction, the acquiring person (or persons acting in concert) owns,
controls or holds with power to vote 10% or more of any class of voting
securities of the institution. The acquisition may not be consummated
subsequent to such notice if the FRB issues a notice within the 60 days, or
within certain extensions of such period, disapproving the same.
Bancorp is generally prohibited under the BHCA from acquiring ownership or
control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares of any company that is not
a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in
activities other than banking, managing banks, or providing services to
affiliates of the holding company. A bank holding company, with the approval of
the FRB, may engage, or acquire the voting shares of companies engaged in
activities that the FRB has determined to be so closely related to banking or
managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. A bank
holding company must demonstrate that the benefits to the public of the proposed
activity will outweigh the possible adverse effects associated with such
activity.
The FRB generally prohibits a bank holding company from declaring or paying
a cash dividend which would impose undue pressure on the capital of subsidiary
banks or would be funded only through borrowing o or other arrangements that
might adversely affect a bank holding company's financial position. The FRB's
policy is that a bank holding company should not continue its existing rate of
cash dividends on its common stock unless its net income is sufficient to fully
fund each dividend and its prospective rate of earnings retention appears
consistent with its capital needs, asset quality and overall financial
condition.
Transactions between Bancorp and the Bank are subject to a number of other
restrictions. FRB policies forbid the payment by bank subsidiaries of
management fees which are unreasonable in amount or exceed the fair market value
of the services rendered (or, if no market exists, actual costs plus a
reasonable profit). Additionally, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries
are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with
the extension of credit, sale or lease of property, or furnishing of services.
Subject to certain limitations, depository institution subsidiaries of bank
holding companies may extend credit to, invest in the securities of, purchase
assets from , or issue a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of,
an affiliate, provided that the aggregate of such transactions with affiliates
may not exceed 10% of the capital stock and surplus of the institution, and the
aggregate of such transactions with all affiliates may not exceed 20% of the
capital stock and surplus of such institution. Bancorp may only borrow from
depository institution subsidiaries if the loan is secured by marketable
obligations with a value of a designated amount in excess of the loan. Further,
Bancorp may not sell a low-quality asset to a depository institution subsidiary.
The Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") requires that, in connection with
examinations of depository financial institutions within their jurisdiction, the
FRB or the Office of the Comptroller of the
5
<PAGE>
Currency (the "OCC") shall evaluate the record of the financial institutions in
meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate
income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those
banks. These factors are considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and
applications to open a branch or facility. In September 1994, President Clinton
signed into law H.R. 3474, more commonly known as the "Riegle Community
Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994" (the "1994 Act"). In
addition to establishment of a Community Development Financial Institutions Fund
(the "Fund"), which will provide assistance to new and existing community
development lenders to help to meet the needs of low- and moderate-income
communities and groups, the new legislation covers a wide range of banking
issues. these changes include modifications to the present publication
requirements for Call Reports, less frequent regulatory examination schedules
for small institutions, small business and commercial real estate loan
securitization, amendments to the money laundering and currency transaction
reporting requirements of the Bank secrecy Act, clarification of the coverage of
the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA") for business commercial and
agricultural real estate secured transactions, amendments to the national flood
insurance program, and amendments to the Truth in Lending Act to provide new
protection for consumers by reducing discrimination against the disadvantaged.
In September 1992, the FRB adopted a new regulation, Regulation DD, to
implement the Truth in Savings Act (the "Savings Act") which was contained in
FDICIA. The Savings Act and the new regulations require the Bank and other
depository institutions to disclose fees, interest rates and other terms
concerning deposit accounts to consumers before they open accounts. The Savings
Act will also require the Bank to include information in periodic statements to
clients about fees imposed, interest earned and the annual percentage yield
earned on deposit accounts. The regulations also impose substantive limitations
on the methods by which institutions determine the balance on which interest is
calculated and rules which impose restrictions on advertisements for deposit
accounts. Regulation DD became effective as of June 21, 1993. Compliance with
the new rule has had no material impact on the Company's operations.
BANK REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
As a national bank, the Bank is regulated, supervised and regularly
examined by the OCC. Deposit accounts at the Bank are insured by the Bank
Insurance Fund (the "BIF"), as administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC"), to the maximum amount permitted by law. The Bank is
also subject to applicable provisions of California law, insofar as such
provisions are not in conflict with or preempted by federal banking law. As a
result of a Report of Examination, in September ,1994 the Bank was deemed to
having achieved compliance with a Commitment Letter made to the OCC in February,
1993 and is no longer subject to the Commitment Letter.
CAPITAL STANDARDS
The federal banking agencies have risk-based capital adequacy guidelines
intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that reflects the degree of
risk associated with a banking organization's operations for both transactions
reported on the balance sheet as assets and transactions, such as letters of
credit and recourse arrangements, which are recorded as off-balance sheet items.
Under these guidelines, nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent
amounts of off-balance sheet items are multiplied by one of several risk
adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for assets with low credit risk,
such as certain U.S. Government securities, to 100% for assets with relatively
higher credit risk, such as certain business loans.
In determining the capital level the Bank is required to maintain, the OCC
does not, in all respects, follow generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") and has special rules which have the effect of reducing the amount of
capital it will recognize for purposes of determining the capital adequacy of
the Bank. These rules are called Regulatory Accounting Principles ("RAP").
Future changes in OCC regulations or practices could further reduce the amount
of capital recognized for purposes of capital adequacy. Such a
6
<PAGE>
change could affect the ability of the Company to grow and could restrict the
amount of profits, if any, available for the payment of dividends.
A banking organization's risk-based capital ratios are obtained by dividing
its total qualifying capital by its total risk-adjusted assets and off-balance
sheet items. The regulators measure risk-adjusted assets and off-balance sheet
items against both total qualifying capital (the sum of Tier 1 capital and
limited amounts of Tier 2 capital) and Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists
of common stock, retained earnings, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (and
with respect to bank holding companies a limited amount of cumulative perpetual
preferred stock) and minority interests in certain subsidiaries, less most other
intangible assets. Tier 2 capital may consist of a limited amount of the
allowance for possible loan and lease losses, cumulative preferred stock, term
preferred stock, term subordinated debt and certain other instruments with some
characteristics of equity. The inclusion of elements of Tier 2 capital are
subject to certain other requirements and limitations of the federal banking
agencies. Since December 31, 1992, the federal banking agencies have required a
minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets and
off-balance sheet items of 8%, and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to
risk-adjusted assets and off-balance sheet items of 4%.
In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal banking regulators
require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital to
adjusted average total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio. For a banking
organization rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to
rage banking organizations, the minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to
adjusted average total assets must be 3%. It is improbable, however, that an
institution with a 3% leverage ratio would receive the highest rating by the
regulators since a strong capital position is a significant part of the
regulators' rating. For all banking organizations not rated in the highest
category, the minimum leverage ratio must be at least 100 to 200 basis points
above the 3% minimum. Thus, the effective minimum leverage ratio, for all
practical purposes, must be at least 4% or 5%. In addition to these uniform
risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the
industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital
requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum
guidelines and ratios.
FDICIA requires the regulators to improve capital standards to take account
of risks other than credit risk. On September 14, 1993, the federal banking
agencies (excluding the Office of Thrift Supervision) published a proposed rule
to take account of interest rate risk in calculating risk-based capital.
Although the joint agency promulgation did not include any proposals relating to
concentration of credit risk and risks of nontraditional activities, the
proposed rule includes a supervisory model for taking account of interest rate
risk. Under that supervisory model, institutions would report their assets,
liabilities and off-balance sheet positions in time bands based upon their
remaining maturities. The banking agencies would then calculate a net
risk-weighted interest rate exposure. If that interest rate risk exposure were
in excess of a certain threshold (1% of assets), the institution could be
required to hold additional capital proportionate to that excess risk.
Alternatively, the agencies have proposed making interest rage risk exposure a
subjective factor in considering capital adequacy. Exposures would be measured
in terms of the change in the present value of an institution's assets minus the
change in the present value of its liabilities and off-balance sheet positions
for an assumed 100 basis point parallel shift in market interest rates.
However, the banking agencies have proposed to let banks and bank holding
companies use their own internal measurement of interest rate risk of it is
declared adequate by examiners.
On December 28, 1993, the FRB published a proposed rule to amend the
capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies to include in Tier 1
capital the new component of common shareholders' equity created by SFAS No. 115
(as hereinafter defined). See "-Accounting Pronouncements" regarding treatment
of unrealized gains and losses from certain securities.
The following tables present the capital ratios for Bancorp and the Bank,
compared to the standards for well-capitalized depository institutions (which
standards do not apply to bank holding companies) and

PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION AND OTHER ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS
FDICIA requires each federal banking agency to take prompt corrective
action to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions (but not bank
holding companies), including but not limited to those that fall below one or
more prescribed minimum capital ratios. The law requires each federal banking
agency to promulgate regulations defining the following five categories in which
an insured depository institution will be places, based on the level of its
capital ratios: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.
In September 1992, the federal banking agencies (other than the Office of
Thrift Supervision) published uniform final regulations implementing the prompt
corrective action provisions of FDICIA. An insured depository institution
generally will be classified in the following categories based on capital
measures indicate below (provided the institution is not operating under a
capital order):
"WELL CAPITALIZED" "ADEQUATELY CAPITALIZED"
Total risk-based capital of 10%; Total risk-based capital of 8%;
Tier 1 risk-based capital of 6%; and Tier 1 risk-based capital of 4%;
Leverage ratio of 5%. and Leverage ratio of 4%.1
"UNDERCAPITALIZED" "SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERCAPITALIZED"
Total risk-based capital Total risk-based capital less than 6%;
less than 8%; Tier 1 risk-based capital less than 3%; or
Tier 1 risk-based capital Leverage ratio less than 3%.
less than 4%; or
Leverage ratio less than 4%.(1)
"CRITICALLY UNDERCAPITALIZED"
Tangible equity to total assets less than 2%.
- -------------------
(1) 3% if the institution has the highest rating by regulators.

<PAGE>
An institution that, based upon its capital levels, is classified as "well
capitalized", "adequately capitalized" or "undercapitalized" may be treated as
though it were in the next lower capital category if the appropriate federal
banking agency, after notice and opportunity for hearing, determines that an
unsafe or unsound condition or an unsafe or unsound practice warrants such
treatment. At each successive lower capital category, an insured depository
institution is subject to more restrictions. The federal banking agencies,
however, may not treat an institution as "critically undercapitalized" unless
its capital ratio actually warrants such treatment.
If an insured depository institution is undercapitalized, it will be
closely monitored by the appropriate federal banking agency. Undercapitalized
institutions must submit an acceptable capital restoration plan with a guarantee
of performance issued by the holding company. Further restrictions and
sanctions are required to be imposed on insured depository institutions that are
critically undercapitalized. the most important additional consequence is that
the appropriate federal banking agency is required to either appoint a receiver
for the institution within 90 days, or obtain the concurrence of the FDIC in
another form of action.
In addition to measures taken under the prompt corrective action
provisions, commercial banking organizations may be subject to potential
enforcement actions by the federal regulators for unsafe or unsound practices in
conducting their businesses or for violations of any law, rule, regulation or
any condition imposed in writing by the agency or any written agreement with
the agency. Enforcement actions may include, among other things, the imposition
of a conservator or receiver, the issuance of a cease-and-desist order that can
be judicially enforced, the termination of insurance of deposits (in the case of
a depository institution), the imposition of civil money penalties, the issuance
of directives to increase capital, the issuance of formal and informal
agreements, the issuance of removal and prohibition orders against
institution-affiliated parties and the enforcement of such actions through
injunctions or restraining orders based upon a judicial determination that the
agency would be harmed if such equitable relief were not granted. Additionally,
a holding company's inability to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary
banking organizations could serve as an additional basis for a regulatory action
against the holding company.
SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS STANDARDS
FDICIA also implemented certain specific restrictions on transactions and
required federal banking regulators to adopt overall safety and soundness
standards for depository institutions related to internal control, loan
underwriting and documentation and asset growth. Among other things, FDICIA
limits the interest rates paid on deposits by undercapitalized institutions, the
use of brokered deposits and the aggregate extensions of credit by a depository
institution to an executive officer, director, principal shareholder or related
interest, and reduces deposit insurance coverage for deposits offered by
undercapitalized institutions for deposits by certain employee benefits
accounts.
In addition to the statutory limitations, FDICIA requires the federal
banking agencies to prescribe, by regulation, standards for all insured
depository institutions for such things as classified loans and asset growth.
Although final regulations on the safety and soundness standards were required
by law to be issued by August 1, 1993, and to become effective no later than
December 1, 1993, final regulations have not yet been issued, and insured
depository institutions are operating under regulations proposed in November
1993.
In December 1992, the federal banking agencies issued final regulations
prescribing uniform guidelines for real estate lending. The regulations, which
became effective on March 19, 1993, require insured depository institutions to
adopt written policies establishing standards, consistent with such guidelines,
for extensions of credit secured by real estate. The policies must address loan
portfolio management, underwriting standards and loan to value limits that do
not exceed the supervisory limits prescribed by the regulations.

<PAGE>
RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
The power of the board of directors of an insured depository institution to
declare a cash dividend or other distribution with respect to capital is subject
to statutory and regulatory restrictions which limit the amount available for
such distribution depending upon the earnings, financial condition and cash
needs of the institution, as well as general business conditions. FDICIA
prohibits insured depository institutions from paying management fees to any
controlling persons or, with certain limited exceptions, making capital
distributions, including dividends, if, after such transaction, the institution
would be undercapitalized.
Regulators also have authority to prohibit a depository institution from
engaging in business practices which are considered to be unsafe or unsound,
possibly including payment of dividends or other payments under certain
circumstances even if such payments are not expressly prohibited by statute.
Section 1551 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 (the
"PBCL") provides that the Board of Directors may authorize a business
corporation to make distributions to shareholders subject to certain
limitations. A distribution to shareholders may not be made if (I) the
corporation would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual
course of business; or (ii) the total assets of the corporation would be less
than the sum of its total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed, if
the corporation were to be dissolved, to satisfy the preferential rights upon
dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those
receiving the distribution.
PREMIUMS FOR DEPOSIT INSURANCE AND ASSESSMENTS FOR EXAMINATIONS
FDICIA established several mechanisms to increase funds to protect deposits
insured by the BIF administered by the FDIC. The FDIC is authorized to borrow
up to $30 billion from the U.S. Treasury Department; up to 90% of the fair
market value of assets of institutions acquired by the FDIC as receiver from the
Federal Financing Bank; and from depository institutions that are members of the
BIF. Any borrowings not repaid by asset sales are to be repaid through
insurance premiums assessed to member institutions. Such premiums must be
sufficient to provide insurance reserves of $1.25 for each $100 of insured
deposits. The result of these provisions it that the assessment rate on
deposits of BIF members could increase in the future. FDICIA also provides
authority for special assessments against insured deposits. No assurance can
be given at this time as to what the future level of premiums will be.
As required by FDICIA, the FDIC adopted a transitional risk-based
assessment system for deposit insurance premiums which became effective January
1, 1993. Beginning in 1996, depository institutions are charged a minimum of
$500 per quarter. The highest premium rate is 31 cents for every $100 in
insured domestic deposits, based on such institutions' capital levels and
supervisory subgroup assignment. The Bank presently qualifies for the initial
lowest premium rate of $500 per quarter. The FDIC has adopted a permanent
risk-based assessment system effective January 1, 1994, which incorporates the
same basic rate structure as those it proposed in December 1992. These
amendments clarify the basis on which supervisory subgroup assignments are made
by the FDIC, eliminate from the assessment classification review procedure the
specific reference to an "informal hearing," provide for the assignment of new
institutions to the "well-capitalized" assessment group, clarify that an
institution is to make timely adjustments as appropriate, clarify the basis and
report data on which capital group assignments are made for insured branches of
foreign banks and expressly address the treatment of certain lifeline accounts
for which special assessment treatment is given.
FDICIA requires all insured depository institutions to undergo a full-scope
on-site examination by their primary federal banking agency at least once every
12 months. The cost of examinations of insured depository institutions and any
affiliates may be assessed by the appropriate federal banking agency against
each institution or affiliate as it deems necessary or appropriate.

OTHER RECENTLY ENACTED AND PROPOSED LEGISLATION
On August 10, 1993, the President signed into law the Omnibus budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the "Budget Act"), which contains numerous tax and
other provisions (some of which are retroactive) which may affect financial
institutions and their businesses. the retroactive increase in the corporate
federal income tax rate included in the budget Act is not material to the
Company's results of operations for 1993.
The Budget Act also contained a provision that established a priority for
depositors, or the FDIC as subrogee thereof, in the event of a liquidation or
other resolution of an insured depository institution for which a receiver is
appointed after August 10, 1993. Formerly, creditors of national banks shared
the same status as depositors in pro rata distribution by receivers of failed
banks. In substance, general unsecured creditors of depository institutions
will not receive any payment on their claim unless the deposit obligations have
been paid in full from recoveries on the filed institution's assets. In
addition, under the existing cross-guarantee provisions of federal banking law,
the FDIC has the power to estimate the cost of the failure of an insured
depository institution and assess a charge against any financial institution
affiliated with the failed institution. The extent to which the adoption of the
depositor preference provision will generally increase the cost of nondeposit
liabilities in the banking industry cannot be ascertained at this time.
On December 17, 1993, the President signed into law legislation to provide
additional funding for failed savings associations under the jurisdiction of the
resolution Trust Corporation, which has been signed by the President. In
addition to providing such funding, the legislation, among other things, makes
it more difficult for the federal banking agencies to obtain prejudgment
injunctive relief against depository institutions and parties affiliated with
such institutions, extends the moratorium on depository institutions converting
from Savings Association Insurance Fund insurance to BIF insurance or vice
versa, and prohibits the FDIC from using any deposit insurance funds to benefit
the shareholders of a failed or failing depository institution. The effect of
this legislation cannot be accurately predicted.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March of 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for
Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed of" (SFAS No. 121"). SFAS No. 121 establishes
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that a
long-lived asset is determined to be impaired, an impairment loss shall be
recognized. SFAS No. 121 prescribes that impairment losses for long-lived
assets shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its fair value. Additionally, SFAS No. 121 provides that long-lived
assets, to be disposed by sale or abandonment, shall be reported at the lower of
carrying amount of fair value less cost of disposition. This statement is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations.
In October of 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123").
SFAS No. 123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for
stock-based employee compensation plans. Those plans include all arrangements
by which employees receive shares of stock or the equity instruments of the
employer of the employer incurred liabilities to employees in amounts based on
the price of the employer's stock. Examples are stock purchase plans, stock
options, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights. This Statement also
applies to transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to
acquire goods or services from non-employees. Those transactions must be
accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair
value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
The accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for transactions
entered into in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995.
11
<PAGE>
The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning December 15, 1995 or for an earlier fiscal
year for which SFAS No. 123 is initially adopted for recognizing compensation
cost. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 will not have a material adverse effect on
financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The principal executive offices of the Company are located in leased
premises at 606 Broadway, Santa Monica, California. The original lease was
signed on February 1, 1982 for a ten-year period with two five-year renewal
options, covering the first floor and basement areas of the two-story building.
On March 23, 1984, the Company renegotiated this lease to include the entire
building and tenant improvements. In addition, both five-year options were
exercised at that time, and one additional five-year option was also granted,
permitting the Company to occupy the premises until January 31, 2007.
The Company acquired its second full-service branch office at 9647 Brighton
Way, Beverly Hills, California on April 30, 1984 and assumed the lease which
calls for periodic rent adjustments and expires on February 1, 1999.
The Company opened its third full-service office on December 1, 1986 at
5525 Etiwanda Street, Tarzana, California. The facility is located in a medical
building known as the Tarzana Clark Medical Center. The lease calls for
periodic rent adjustments and expires on November 30, 2001. The lease contains
a five-year option to renew at the then comparable market rate for similar
space.
The Company opened its fourth full-service office on October 15, 1991 at 55
East California Blvd., Pasadena, California. The facility is located adjacent
Huntington Memorial Hospital. The lease calls for periodic rent adjustments,
and expires on December 15, 2001. The lease contains two five-year renewal
options, the second of which adjusts the rent to the then comparable market rate
for similar space.
The Company opened its fifth full-service office also on October 15, 1991
at 10 North 5th Street, Redlands, California. The lease calls for periodic rent
adjustments, and expires on June 1, 2001. The lease contains two five-year
options which continue the periodic rate adjustments.
The Company also leases two additional facilities. the first facility is a
limited service office located at 8600 West 3rd Street, Los Angeles, California,
in conjunction with an automated banking terminal facility.
12
<PAGE>
The second facility, opened during 1992, is located at 9900 Norwalk Blvd, Santa
Fe Springs, California, and contains the Company's note department and data
processing operations. In January 1994, this facility was granted status as a
full-service branch for the purpose of processing deposits. The lease calls for
periodic rent adjustments, and expires on September 1, 2003. In January, 1994,
the Company began operating an automated banking facility at 616 South Witmer
Street, Los Angeles, in the Hospital of the Good Samaritan; there is no lease in
effect at this location. All of the leased properties are suitable to the
Company's needs and 100% of the leased areas were utilized in 1995.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is from time to time a party to various legal actions arising
in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that there is no
proceeding threatened or pending against Bancorp or the Bank which, if
determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial position or results of operations of Bancorp or the Bank.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
The Company did not submit any matters to a vote of its stockholders during
the fourth quarter of 1995.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
MARKET INFORMATION AND HOLDERS

DIVIDENDS
The Company has not paid any cash dividends since its formation. The Board
of Directors of the Company decided not to pay cash dividends during 1994 and
instead retained all earnings to support further growth of the Bank. The power
of the board of directors of insured depository institutions to declare a cash
dividend or other distribution with respect to capital is subject to statutory
and regulatory restrictions which limit the amount available for such
distribution depending upon the earnings, financial condition and cash needs of
the institution, as well as general business conditions. FDICIA prohibits
insured depository institutions from paying management fees to any controlling
persons or, with certain limited exceptions, making capital distributions,
including dividends, if after such transaction, the institution would be under
capitalized.
Regulators also have authority to prohibit a depository institution from
engaging in business practices which are considered to be unsafe or unsound,
possibly including payment of dividends or other payments under certain
circumstances even if such payments are not expressly prohibited by statute.
In a policy statement adopted in November 1985, the Federal Reserve Board
advised banks and BHC's that payment of cash dividends in excess of current
earnings from operations is inappropriate and may be cause for supervisory
action. As a result of this policy, banks and their holding companies may find
it difficult to pay dividends out of retained earnings from periods prior to the
most recent fiscal year or to take advantage of earnings generated by
extraordinary items such as sales of buildings, other large assets, or business
segments in order to generate profits to enable payment of future dividends.
The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking
subsidiary, and is not currently intending to engage in any activities other
than acting as a BHC. Accordingly, the Company's principal source of funds,
including funds available for payment of cash dividends to stockholders, will
consist of dividends paid and other funds advanced to the Company by its
subsidiary. Statutory and regulatory requirements impose limitations on the
amount of dividends payable by the Bank to the Company and on extensions of
credit by the Bank to the Company.
No national bank may, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Section 56, pay dividends from
its capital (which includes capital stock, undivided profits and surplus
reserves for contingencies); all dividends must be paid out of net profits then
on hand, after deducting expenses, including losses and bad debts. In addition,
the payment of dividends out of net profits of a national bank is further
limited by 12 U.S.C. Section 60(a), which provides that until the surplus equals
the amount of capital stock, dividends can only be paid of there has been
transferred to the surplus find not less than one-tenth of the bank's net
profits for the preceding half-year in the case of quarterly or semi-annual
dividends. Pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Section 60(b), the approval of the OCC shall
be required if the total of dividends declared by a bank in any calendar year
exceeds the total of its net profits for that year, less any required transfers
to surplus or to a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock.
Section 1551 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 (the
"PBCL") provides that the board of directors may authorize a business
corporation to make distributions to shareholders subject to certain
limitations. A distribution to shareholders may not be made if; (I) the
corporation would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual
course of business; or (ii) the total assets of the corporation would be less
than the sum of its total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed, if
the corporation were to be dissolved, to satisfy the preferential rights upon
dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those
receiving the distribution.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following presents management's discussion and analysis of the
Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations as of the
dates and for the periods indicated. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with "Selected Consolidated Financial Data," the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes.
The Company's business strategy is to provide commercial banking
products and services to individuals and other organizations related to the
health industry and other professionals in California. The Company is seeking
to increase its market share, through the opening of new branches in areas where
there is a concentration of health care and health care related activities,
through possible acquisitions of other financial institutions and/or branches
within its target market and emphasizing the expertise and understanding of the
medical marketplace that the Company has stressed since its inception.
The Company posted net income of $2,006,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995 or 60% over the $1,253,000 in earnings reported for 1994. Fully
diluted earnings per share for 1995 totaled $1.21 or 48% over the $.82 reported
for 1994. While the net income for 1995 was higher than that reported in 1994,
pre-tax income excluding gains or losses on securities transactions was slightly
lower. For the year ended December 31, 1995, pre-tax income excluding
investment transactions ("Core Earnings") totaled $2,134,000 versus $2,347,000
in the prior year. The primary reason for the decrease in core earnings was the
increase in the provision for loan losses which totaled $1,539,000 in 1995
versus $703,000 in 1994.
The Company continued to experience a low level of loan demand as total
loans aggregated $100,085,000 at December 31, 1995 compared to $103,745,000 at
December 31, 1994 for an annual decline of approximately 3.5%. Deposits
increased 1% to $297,466,000 at December 31, 1995 compared to $293,631,000 at
December 31, 1994. Overall deposit growth was slight with the growth
concentrated in one area, time certificates of deposit (TCDs). Funds in
noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand accounts are the least interest
rate sensitive accounts and decreased $19.9 million or 15% during 1995. TCD's
increased $34.2 million or 63%. The Company's Savings and money market accounts
experienced a decline of 10% or $10.5 million primarily as the Company's clients
moved funds into the higher yielding time certificates of deposit.
At December 31, 1995, noninterest-bearing deposits comprised 33% of
deposits compared to 39% at December 31, 1994 and interest-bearing demand
deposits comprised 5% of deposits compared to 6% at December 31, 1994. Savings
and money market accounts comprised 33% of total deposits at December 31, 1995
compared to 37% at December 31, 1994 and TCD's comprised 30% of total deposits
at December 31, 1995 compared to 18% at December 31, 1994.
As a matter of policy, the Company has not made long-term residential
mortgage loans nor has it accepted trust deeds on property located outside the
State of California as collateral for its loans. At December 31, 1995,
nonperforming assets totaled $4,263,000 or 1.32% of total assets compared to
$2,769,000 or .88% of total assets at December 31, 1994. Nonperforming assets
increased by approximately $1,494,000 at December 31, 1995 compared to December
31, 1994. Net charge-offs increased to 1.45% of average loans in 1995 from
0.69% of average loans in 1994.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Earnings for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased by $753,000 to
$2,006,000 compared to $1,253,000 in 1994. Fully diluted earnings per share
increased to $1.21 in 1995 compared to $0.82 in 1994. Earnings were higher due
to an increase in securities transactions from a loss of $213,000 for the year
ended
16
<PAGE>
December 31, 1994 to a gain of $1,018,000 in 1995. Core Earnings decreased to
$2,134,000 from $2,347,000 due to an increase in the provision for loan loss of
$836,000.
The following table presents for the periods indicated the distribution of
average assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity as well as the total dollar
amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and resultant
yields, and the dollar amounts of interest expense and average interest-bearing
liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates.

NET INTEREST INCOME
As reflected in the preceding table, the Company's primary source of
revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest
income received on interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on
interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income before provision for loan
losses for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $14,364,000, an increase of
$745,000 (5%) over the amount recorded in 1994.
17
<PAGE>
The Company's net interest margin decreased to 5.07% for the year ended December
31, 1995 from 5.19% in 1994. The decrease in the net interest margin was
primarily due to the increase in the higher cost of time certificates of
deposits as well as the increased balances in that category. The rate on
interest-bearing liabilities averaged 3.10% in 1995, higher by 0.87% from the
average rate during 1994. Most of this cost shift was offset by the increase in
the average rate on earning assets which rose 0.59% as most market interest
rates were higher on average in 1995 than in 1994. The increase in net interest
was limited by two interest rate swaps with a total notional (principal) amount
of $40,000,000 initiated in January 1993 as a hedge on a portion of the
Company's variable rate loan portfolio. Under the terms of the swaps, the
Company receives a fixed rate of 7.215% for three years ending in January 1996,
while the Company pays the prime rate over the same period of time (see Note 14
to consolidated financial statements).
Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $13,619,000 in
1994, a 20% increase over 1993. The Company's net interest margin increased to
5.19% in 1994 compared to 4.95% in 1993. The net interest margin improved
primarily due to the growth in deposits which were then placed in higher
yielding assets. The increases in net interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities during 1994 were due to growth of the Company.
The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount
and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to
as "volume change." It is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other
borrowed funds, referred to as a "rate change." The following table sets forth
changes in interest income and interest expense for each major category of
interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, and the amount of change
attributable to volume and rate changes for the years indicated. The changes
due to rate and volume have been allocated to rate and volume in proportion to
the relationship between their absolute dollar amounts. The effects of tax-
equivalent yields have not been presented because they are not significant.

In 1995, the increase in interest income of $3,104,000 was comprised of
a $896,000 increase associated with the $21,015,000 increase in average
interest-earning assets (primarily securities), and a $2,208,000 increase
associated with an increase in the total yield on interest-earning assets
(securities, loans and federal funds sold) to 7.38% in 1995 from 6.79% in 1994.
The increase in total interest expense of $2,359,000 was
18
<PAGE>
comprised of a increase of $1,480,000 associated with the increase of
$23,754,000 in average interest-bearing liabilities and a $879,000 decrease
associated with an increase in the cost of funds to 3.10% in 1995 from 2.23% in
1994. The increase in the cost of funds occurred as funds shifted out of lower
rates in transaction and savings and money market accounts and into higher
yielding time certificates of deposit.
In 1994, the increase in interest income of $2,707,000 was comprised of
a $1,843,000 increase associated with the $33,377,000 increase in average
interest-earning assets (primarily securities), and a $864,000 increase
associated with an increase in the total yield on interest-earning assets
(securities, loans and federal funds sold) to 6.79% in 1994 from 6.59% in 1993.
The increase in total interest expense of $422,000 was comprised of a increase
of $466,000 associated with the increase of $20,467,000 in average interest-
bearing liabilities and a decrease of $44,000 related to the decrease in the
cost of funds to 2.23% in 1994 from 2.25% in 1993. The slight decrease in the
cost of funds occurred as lower rates in transaction and savings and money
market accounts offset the higher expense of repurchase agreements and the
convertible notes issued in May 1994.
A changing interest rate environment can have a significant impact on
the Company's net interest margin as measured against average earning assets and
interest rate spread. Management monitors the Company's net interest margin and
makes adjustments by repricing its loans and deposit products after giving
effect to such factors as competition, the economic environment and expected
maturities in the loan, investment securities and deposit portfolios.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to cover the inherent
risks of loss associated with its loan portfolio. See "-Balance Sheet Analysis
- - Credit Risk Management and Asset Quality." The provision for loan losses is
charged against income and is applied to the allowance for loan losses. The
provision for loan losses for 1995 was $1,539,000 compared to $703,000 in 1994
and $253,000 in 1993 reflecting, increased charge-offs with two loans totaling
$776,000. Net charge-offs to average loans increased to 1.45% in 1995 compared
to 0.69% in 1994 and 0.09% in 1993.
OTHER INCOME
The increase in other income of $1,142,000 (87%) in 1995 compared to the
previous year was primarily attributable to an increase in securities
transactions which totaled $1,018,000 in 1995 compared to a loss of $213,000 in
1994. Excluding securities transactions, other income decreased by $88,000 (6%)
in 1995 compared to 1994 as an increase in service charges on deposits was
offset by a decline in mortgage banking fees. Mortgage banking operations were
initiated in 1992 and consist solely of a broker function. The Company, as
broker, provides all loan documentation required by the applicable underwriting
criteria and sends the material to a funding institution. The funding
institution then approves or declines the loan and, if approved, subsequently
funds the loan directly. The Company earns the points and any documentation
fees charged on the loan but is otherwise not involved in the loan.
The decrease in other income of $506,000 (28%) in 1994 compared to the
previous year was primarily attributable to a decrease in securities
transactions which totaled a loss of $213,000 in 1994 compared to a gain of
$398,000 in 1993. Excluding securities transactions, other income increased by
$105,000 (7%) in 1994 compared to 1993 resulting from the Company's growth in
service charges on deposits which offset a decline in mortgage banking fees.

</TABLE>
Other operating expenses decreased by $3,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995 compared to the previous year with the largest variance being the
$385,000 incurred in 1994 for the termination of caps in an interest rate
exchange Contract. Other areas with significant variances included salaries
and employee benefits which increased $383,000 and FDIC assessment which
decreased $255,000.
The increase in salaries and employee benefits of $383,000 (7%) in 1995
was primarily related to an increase in staff as the number of full-time
equivalent employees totaled 107 at December 31, 1995 compared to 96 at December
31, 1994. The increase in salaries and employee benefits of $217,000 (4%) in
1994 was also primarily related to an increase in staff which offset a reduction
in worker's compensation insurance. Occupancy expenses decreased $47,000 (3%) in
1994 as rent was reduced at two of the Company's locations, one in February 1994
and one in July 1994. The decrease of $37,000 (3%) in 1994 occurred due to the
rent reductions mentioned above.
Legal fees increased $140,000 (21%) in 1995 after increasing $246,000
(60%) in 1994 due to increased costs of loan collection on several large
credits. While some of these fees may be reimbursed at settlement, the Company
expenses such legal fees as incurred. Furniture and equipment increased by
$48,000 (7%) in 1995 as the Company upgraded its mainframe computer. Furniture
and equipment increased by $84,000 (14%) in 1994 due to the purchase of a
telephone system and upgrading local area networks and the related personal
computers.
Professional services increased by $69,000 (13%) in 1995 due to projects
to outside consultants for loan compliance and assistance with the Community
Reinvestment Act (CRA). Professional services increased by
20
<PAGE>
$255,000 (92%) in 1994 as the Company began utilizing several consulting
companies for various projects including a profitability system, a telephone
system and regulatory compliance.
FDIC assessments decreased by $255,000 (44%) in 1995 as the deposit
insurance premiums dropped from twenty-three cents per one hundred dollars of
deposits to four cents. The FDIC assessment was reduced to the legal minimum of
$500 dollars per quarter in 1996. See "Supervision and Regulation - Premiums for
Deposit Insurance and Assessments for Examinations." FDIC assessments increased
by $50,000 (5%) in 1994 due to an increase in deposits. Office supplies
increased $72,000 (34%) in 1995 primarily due to increased costs of data
processing. The cost of Office supplies was virtually unchanged in 1994
decreasing $1,000 from 1993.
Other assessments, primarily check processing charges by the Federal
Reserve Bank and correspondent banking charges increased $12,000 (5%) after
increasing $48,000 (23%) in 1994. The increases in both years primarily
reflected the growth in volume and the increased utilization of correspondent
bank processing of deposits received outside of the Company's immediate area.
Telephone expenses increased $14,000 (7%) in 1995 after increasing $38,000 (22%)
in 1994. These increases occurred as the volume of calls has increased as has
the usage of cellular phones. Audits, accounting and examinations decreased
$11,000 (7%) after increasing $53,000 (50%) in 1994. There were fewer projects
in 1995 but overall, there continues to be more in-depth auditing as the Company
has grown in both size and function.
Postage increased $3,000 (2%) in 1995 as an increase in postal rates was
offset by greater utilization of in house couriers for monthly statements.
Postage increased $24,000 (20%) in 1994 due to a higher use of over night
delivery in place of a messenger. Imprinted checks decreased $24,000 (16%) in
1995 after increasing $9,000 (6%) in 1994. The increase in 1994 was due to the
higher volume of checks written by the Company's clients. Messenger service
increased $19,000 (19%) in 1995 but this was offset by charging certain clients
for additional courier stops for stops between their offices which were not bank
related. Messenger service decreased $57,000 (36%) in 1994 due to switching
some clients of the Company from an outside messenger service to over night mail
and more efficient routes performed by the Company's in-house couriers.
Donations decreased $47,000 (29%) in 1995 after increasing $59,000 (58%) in
1994. The increase in 1994 was due to the sponsorship of several events.
Meetings and business development decreased $49,000 (43%) in 1995 after
decreasing $59,000 (34%) in 1994. The lower expenses were due to a reduction in
both the number of out-of-town conferences being attended and the number of
people attending conferences.
Other expenses increased $55,000 (7%) in 1995 after increasing $152,000
(22%) in 1994. The increase in 1995 was primarily due to increases in
promotional expenses such as advertising, brochures and subscriptions (up a
combined $75,000) and the amortization of convertible note expenses (up
$44,000). recruiting fees (up $19,000) and OREO expense (up $18,000). The
increase in 1994 was also spread across promotional expenses such as
advertising, brochures and subscriptions (up a combined $67,000) as well as
operating losses (up $32,000) and director fees (up $38,000). The ratio of
other operating expenses to average assets totaled 3.84% in 1995 compared to
4.14% in 1994 and 4.13% in 1993.
INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for 1995 was 37.1% compared with the effective
tax rate of 41.3% in 1994 and 40.8% in 1993. 1995's tax rate was lower due to
the exercise of nonqualified stock options and the exercise and sale of
qualified stock options.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Average deposits increased $20,484,000 (8%) in 1995 to $288,125,000 from
$267,641,000 in 1994 and increased $27,596,000 (11%) in 1994 from $240,045,000
in 1993, while average loans decreased $10,461,000 (9%) in 1995 to $100,985,000
from $111,446,000 in 1994 and decreased $3,975,000 (3%) in 1994 from
$115,421,000 in 1993. Average securities increased $22,739,000 (16%) in 1995
from $137,873,000 in 1994 and increased $42,136,000 (44%) in 1994 from
$95,737,000 in 1993. The growth in deposits resulted principally from the
consolidation of the health care industry. Whether Company's clients were
purchased or did the purchasing, the result generated deposits through
additional business. The deposits were primarily placed in securities. Loans
decreased as loan demand diminished among the Company's clients.
As deposits have shifted into more volatile time certificates of
deposit, the Company has shifted balance sheet assets into cash from securities.
The Company's securities (held-to-maturity and available-for-sale less
valuation) decreased to $130,037,000 at December 31, 1995 from $167,738,000 at
December 31, 1994. Similarly Federal funds sold increased to $42,400,000 at
December 31, 1995 from $10,500,000 at December 31, 1994.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
The Company concentrates its lending activities in three principal
areas: commercial loans, equity lines of credit and installment loans.
Commercial loans include real estate secured commercial loans and other
commercial loans. Lines of credit include equity lines, overdraft protection
lines and other secured and unsecured lines of credit. Installment loans
include auto and boat loans and other loans for personal use. The interest
rates charged for the loans made by the Company vary with the degree of risk,
the size and maturity of the loan, whether the loan has a fixed or variable
rate, the borrowers' depository relationships with the Company, and prevailing
market rates.
Although the risk of non-payment exists with respect to all loans,
certain other specific risks are associated with each type of loan. The primary
risks associated with commercial loans, including real estate secured commercial
loans, are the quality of the borrower's management and a number of economic and
other factors, including competition, insufficient capital, changes in laws and
regulations and general changes in the marketplace, which induce business
failures and cause the value of business assets pledged to secure the loan to
depreciate. The Company's portfolio concentration in the health care industry
exposes the Company to the risk that adverse developments in this sector,
including any such developments resulting from proposed health care reform,
could negatively affect the abilities of these borrowers to repay their loans.
Equity lines of credit, installment loans and other lines of credit are affected
primarily by domestic instability and a variety of factors that may lead to the
borrower's unemployment, including deteriorating economic conditions in one or
more segments of a local or broader economy.

</TABLE>
There were no categories of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which
were not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans in the above table. There
were no construction loans outstanding at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
The Company generally underwrites loans on the basis of adequate current
cash flow and does not look to collateral as a primary source of repayment. The
Company's loan policies are believed by management to conform with applicable
regulatory lending standards.
COMMERCIAL LOANS AND REAL ESTATE SECURED COMMERCIAL LOANS. The
Company's commercial and real estate secured commercial loans totaled
$90,253,000 or 90% of total loans and $92,102,000 or 89% of total loans at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Real estate secured commercial loans
totaled $13,241,000 at December 31, 1995 and $8,863,000 at December 31, 1994.
Commercial and real estate secured commercial loans consist primarily of short-
to medium-term financing for small- to medium-sized health care-related
companies located in southern California. The commercial and real estate
secured commercial loans are primarily concentrated in the same sectors of the
medical community as the Company's deposit base is drawn from: solo medical
practitioners; small groups; large single-specialty groups; multispecialty
medical groups and other outpatient health care companies; and medical billing
companies. Commercial and real estate secured commercial loan clients have
annual sales of up to $500 million. Approximately 73% of total loans at
December 31, 1995 were commercial loans which were unsecured or secured by
various personal property assets, including equipment, receivables and
capitation payments. As a matter of policy, the Company's commercial loan
borrowers are required to submit financial statements and other financial data
(for example, accounts receivables and enrollment summaries) on a periodic
basis, at least annually, to loan officers for their review in monitoring the
financial position and cash flows of these borrowers. Under this policy,
management generally places a higher level of scrutiny on borrowers who fail to
submit the required financial information. Additionally, senior lending
officers review delinquency reports and borrowers' payment histories to monitor
potential problem loans. On those commercial loans secured by real estate,
loan-to-value ratios at the loan origination date generally range from
approximately 30% to 80%. Approximately 13% of
23
<PAGE>
total loans at December 31, 1995 were commercial loans secured by real estate,
but because the Company's commercial loans are repaid typically through cash
flows from the borrowers' business with shorter term amortization (three to five
years), the commercial loans are not classified by the Company as real estate-
mortgage loans.
EQUITY LINES OF CREDIT. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, equity lines of
credit aggregated approximately $6,070,000 or 6% of total loans, and $7,195,000
or 7% of total loans, respectively. Loan-to-appraised value ratios at the loan
origination date range up to 85% and all such loans have variable rate
structures. Most of these lines of credit are secured by junior trust deeds on
residential real estate.
OTHER LINES OF CREDIT. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, other lines of
credit aggregated approximately $1,997,000 or 2% of total loans, and $2,119,000
or 2% of total loans, respectively. Other lines of credit are generally
unsecured and include overdraft protection lines and revolving lines of credit.
INSTALLMENT LOANS. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, installment
aggregated approximately $1,625,000 or 2% of total loans, and $2,072,000 or 2%
of total loans, respectively. This loan category primarily includes automobile
loans. Loan-to-appraised value ratios at the loan origination date range up to
100% for automobile installment loans.
The following table shows the maturity distribution of the Company's
loans outstanding at December 31, 1995, which based on remaining scheduled
repayments of principal, were due within the periods indicated.

LOAN COMMITMENTS
In the normal course of business, there are various commitments
outstanding to extend credit that are not reflected in the consolidated
financial statements. These financial instruments include commitments to extend
credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company's exposure to credit
loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to commitments to extend
credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional
(principal) amount of those instruments. At December 31, 1995 and 1994 , the
Company had commitments to extend credit of
24
<PAGE>
approximately $50,415,000 and $46,739,000, respectively and obligations under
standby letters of credit of approximately $4,984,000 and $3,755,000,
respectively.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Company to support the performance of a client to a third party. Those standby
letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar
transactions. All such standby letters of credit are extended for a period of
12 months or less. In making commitments and issuing letters of credit, the
Company uses credit policies similar to those used in connection with extending
loan facilities to customers. The Company evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if
deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on
management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may
include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment,
capitation payments and income-producing commercial real estate.
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT AND ASSET QUALITY.
Management believes that the objective of a sound credit policy is to
extend loans to qualified customers while controlling risk affecting
shareholders and depositors. The loan committee, made up of members of the
Board of Directors of the Bank, approves credit policy and reviews asset quality
and compliance with credit policy. Management performs reviews of loan quality
and monitors the progress of watch list loans, some of which may require an
action plan for rehabilitation or refinancing. In addition, credit underwriting
guidelines are periodically reviewed and adjusted to reflect current economic
conditions and industry practices.
In accordance with management's credit administration policy, loans are
placed on nonaccrual status when the full collection of principal or interest is
doubtful. Generally, this means that loans are put on nonaccrual status when
interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the
process of collection. Interest income which would have been earned on such
nonaccrual loans for the year ended December 31, 1995, had such loans complied
with their original terms, totaled approximately $363,000.
The table below sets for information about nonperforming assets (which
included nonaccrual loans and OREO), accruing loans 90 days or more past due and

<PAGE>
Nonperforming assets increased at December 31, 1995 compared to December
31, 1994 by approximately $1,494,000 to $4,263,000. Nonperforming assets
included a nonaccrual commercial loan to a single borrower in the amount of
$2,300,000. The Company is finalizing several agreements which will result in
the acquisition of assets in satisfaction of this loan. The underlying assets
include two partnership interests and a promissory note. This loan has been
written down to the fair value of the underlying collateral. The remaining
nonperforming assets primarily consist of commercial loans with several in
various stages of litigation.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Management's determination of the allowance for loan losses requires the
use of estimates and assumptions related to the risks inherent in the loan
portfolio which management believes are reasonable. Actual results could,
however, differ significantly from those estimates. In connection with the
determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate
loans, management generally obtains independent appraisals for all properties.
Management believes its current appraisal policies generally conform to federal
regulatory guidelines.
An evaluation of the overall quality of the portfolio is performed to
determine the necessary level of the allowance for loan losses. This evaluation
takes into consideration the classification of loans and the application of loss
estimates to these classifications. The Company classifies loans as pass,
watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss based on classification
criteria believed by management to be consistent with the criteria applied by
the Company's banking examiners. These classifications and loss estimates take
into consideration all sources of repayment, underlying collateral, the value of
such collateral, current and anticipated economic conditions, trends, and
uncertainties and the historical accuracy of specific reserves attached to loans
with serious perceived weakness. The Company utilizes migration analysis as
another means to assist management to determine the necessary level of the
allowance for loan losses. Migration analysis involves examining historic net
charge-offs to estimate probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
above processes provide management with data that help to identify and estimate
the credit risk inherent in the portfolio so that management may identify
potential problem loans on a timely basis. The allowance for loan losses
reflects the result of these estimates. Based on information available at
December 31, 1995, management believed the $1,070,000 allowance for loan losses,
which constituted 1.07% of total loans, was adequate as an allowance against
probable and estimable losses and management's assessment of risk in the
portfolio.
The Company has experienced some fluctuation in the provisions for loan
losses due primarily to varying levels of net charge-offs and a steady decline
in loans. Net charge-offs were moderate in 1994 and increased in 1995 primarily
due to two loans which combined represented charge-offs of $776,000. Management
believes the allowance and related provision for loan losses will increase or
decrease in future periods commensurate with loan growth. While the Company's
policy is to charge off in the current period those loans in which a loss is
considered probable, there also exists the risk of future losses which cannot be
precisely quantified or attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. As
this risk is continually changing in response to factors beyond the control of
the Company, such as the state of the economy, management's judgment as to the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in future periods is necessarily an
approximate one. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part
of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for
loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the
allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time
of their examination.

The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114
(SFAS 114) "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and No. 118 (SFAS
118) "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures" which amended certain provisions of SFAS 114 on January 1, 1995.
The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information
and events, it believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement
on a timely basis. Impairment of a loan is measured by the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or
the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than
the recorded investment in the loan, the Company recognizes an impairment by
creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to provision for loan
losses
SECURITIES
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", the Company
classifies its investment in debt and equity securities as held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale or trading securities as applicable. Securities held-to-
maturity are those securities for which the Company has the ability and intent
to hold the security until maturity. Trading securities consisting of U.S.
Government and agency obligations are acquired and sold to benefit from short-
term movements in market prices. All other securities are classified as
available-for-sale.
Securities held-to-maturity are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for
the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Trading securities are
carried at fair value and are recorded as of their trade dates. Gains or losses
on trading securities, both realized and unrealized, are recognized currently in
income. Securities designated as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value.
Change in the fair value of debt securities available-for-sale are included in
stockholders' equity as unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-
sale, net of taxes. Unrealized losses, on securities reflecting a decline in
value judged to be other than temporary, are charged to income in the
consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses and realized
gains and losses on securities are computed on a specific identification basis.
At December 31, 1995, all of the Company's securities which reprice with
a frequency of annually or more frequently were classified as available-for-
sale. Additionally, all of the Company's Collateralized Mortgage Obligations
(CMO's) were also classified as available-for-sale. The Company's CMO's had a
total fair value of $37,576,000 which included several securities. One CMO,
with a fair value of $5,010,000 was a Premium Amortization Class ("PAC") bond
with a fixed 6.5% coupon and all principal scheduled to be paid between 1996 and
2000. Another CMO, with a fair value of $10,215,000 was a PAC bond that floats
at 110 basis over the eleventh district cost of funds index and has a cap of
10%. The remaining CMO's were all variable rate using the one-month London
Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") as the rate index. These CMO's had rates
capped at between 9% and 10.% and included PACs with a total fair value of
$18,135,000 repricing monthly thereafter at 55 to 65 basis points over the one-
month LIBOR. The remaining CMO had a fair value of $4,061,000 which reprices
monthly at a stated 200 basis points over the one-month LIBOR with the rate
capped at 10%. This security is known commonly as a "kitchen sink" bond whose
actual rate and cash flows are not predictable. The scheduled principal
payments on the CMO's are derived from the market's median assumptions on
mortgage prepayments. Actual principal payments on these securities may vary
significantly from those assumptions.
The primary holdings in the Company held-to-maturity portfolio included
$14,200,000 Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) pass-through
securities. These securities have coupons of 6.931% and 7.114%, are fixed until
October 1999 and January 2000, then float off the one year CMT plus 204.5 basis
points and 219 basis points thereafter with 2.0% annual limits to the change in
the coupon rate. Many of the Company's mortgaged-backed securities were
purchased at a significant premium. This was especially true with respect to
the Company's GNMA pass-through securities with fixed coupon rates between 7%
and 9%. These
28
<PAGE>
securities, which are also held-to-maturity, mature between the years 2004 and
2008 with the majority maturing in 2007, experience various prepayment speeds
with higher prepayments reducing the yield and slower prepayments raising the
yield. At December 31, 1995, the Company held approximately $25.8 million of
these securities.
The Company also holds approximately $42.1 million of GNMA adjustable
rate mortgage-backed securities. These securities which are available-for-sale
have current coupon rates between 6.50% and 7.375% and reprice annually with the
repricing dates of the securities held spread over the next twelve months. The
coupon rate is based on the one-year Constant Maturity Treasury index ("CMT")
plus 150 basis points. At December 31, 1995 the one-year CMT rate was 5.18%.
The average yield on the Company's securities was 6.47% in 1995 compared
to 5.58% in 1994 and 5.28% in 1993. The increase in yield in 1995 was due to
the variable rate securities resetting during a period of rising interest rates.
The following table sets forth the fair value of securities available-
for-sale for the dates indicated.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Bank's primary
regulator, has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for national banks.
These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio (Tier 1
capital to adjusted average total assets less goodwill) of 3.0% for national
banks that meet certain specified criteria, including having the highest
regulatory rating. All other national banks will generally be required to
maintain a minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio of 3.0 percent plus an
additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points. The OCC has not advised the Bank
of any specific minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio applicable to it.
The FRB, as Bancorp's primary regulator, has similarly established
minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines
also provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3.0% for bank holding
companies that meet certain specified criteria, including having the highest
regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies will generally be required
to maintain a minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio of 3.0% plus an additional
cushion of 100 to 200 basis pints. The FRB has not advised the Company of any
specific minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio applicable to it.
Risk-based capital standard were implemented on December 31, 1990.
Since December 31, 1992, banking organizations have been expected to meet a
minimum ratio for qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, 4.0%
of which must be Tier 1 capital. A banking organization's risk-based capital
ratios are obtained by dividing its qualifying capital by its total risk-
adjusted assets and off-balance-sheet items.
Although the Company and the Bank at December 31, 1995 exceed all
applicable minimum capital requirements, the capital requirements of the Federal
banking regulators could limit the Company's future growth if the Company were
to rely solely on the retention of earnings to generate additional capital. The
Company completed a $5.75 million convertible note offering in May 1994. The
rate is 8.5% to March 1998 at which time the rate resets at 150 basis points
over the 5 year CMT. The conversion price of the notes is $13.3333 per share
and mature in March 2004. Of the proceeds, $3.6 million was invested in First
Professional Bank in order to increase the Bank's regulatory capital ratios and
allow the Bank to grow, within the bounds of safety and soundness, at a faster
rate than is feasible through the internal generation of capital through
earnings. $930,000 of the proceeds was used to retire the Company's remaining
indebtedness as required by a stock repurchase agreement. Additionally, at
December 31, 1995, the Company and the Bank exceeded the required minimum ratios
applicable for "well-capitalized" institutions.

WARRANTS
In connection with a private placement of common stock (the "Private
Placement"), the Company issued (i) a warrant to Robert H. Leshner, principal of
the placement agent, to purchase 105,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Leshner
Warrant") and (ii) warrants to each of Andrew E. Haas and Curtis Swindal to
purchase 13,125 shares of Common Stock, each at a purchase price of $13.3333 per
share exercisable in full on or after December 31, 1995 and before December 31,
2002. The Company agreed to grant the holder of the shares issued upon exercise
of the warrant ("Warrant Shares") the right, on two occasions during the
five-year period beginning December 31, 1994, to require the Company to register
(the "Demand Registration") the Warrant Shares under the Act. The Company will
pay the expenses of one Demand Registration. In addition, the holder of the
Warrant Shares will have the right during the period December 31, 1994 to
December 31, 1997 to have the Warrant Shares included in registrations of the
Common Stock under the Act at the expense of the Company. Assuming the Demand
Registration could be filed under a Form 3, such expense would be minimal. See
Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Under the terms of the Leshner Warrant, if Dr. Kovner dies before
December 31, 2002, then the Company will purchase, at the option of Mr. Leshner,
some or all of the warrants and/or Warrant Shares then owned by Mr. Leshner,
provided that (i) the maximum aggregate purchase price paid by the Company shall
be not more than $1,000,000 and (ii) the funds to purchase such warrants and/or
Warrant Shares shall come solely from the proceeds of the key person insurance
policy on Dr. Kovner. Since such life insurance is in excess of the cash value
recognized on the Company's balance sheet, there would be no net reduction in
capital nor any impact on liquidity. Furthermore, if at any time prior to
December 31, 2002 Mr. Leshner wishes to sell some or all of the warrants and/or
Warrant Shares to a third party, Mr. Leshner must offer to sell such warrants
and/or Warrant Shares to the Company on the same terms and conditions being
offered to such third party. Another term of the Leshner Warrant restricts the
Company's ability to issue certain types
33
<PAGE>
of preferred stock which would entitle the holders thereof to receive dividends
or distributions of assets which vary in amount with the Company's performance.
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a
defined time period, either matures or experiences an interest rate change in
line with general market rates. Interest rate sensitivity is the volatility of
a bank's earnings resulting from a movement in market interest rates.
The following table sets forth the distribution of the repricing of the
Company's assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1995, the interest rate
sensitivity gap (i.e. interest rate sensitive assets less interest rate
sensitive liabilities), the cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap, the
interest rate sensitivity gap ratio (i.e., interest rate sensitive assets
divided by interest rate sensitive liabilities) and the cumulative interest rate
sensitivity gap ratio. The table also sets forth the time period in which
assets and liabilities will mature or may reprice in accordance with their
contractual terms. Generally, an excess of maturing or repricing assets over
maturing or repricing liabilities during a given period will serve to enhance
earnings in a rising rate environment and inhibit earnings when rates decline.
Conversely, when maturing or repricing liabilities exceed maturing or repricing
assets during a given period, a rising rate environment generally will inhibit
earnings and declining rates generally will serve to enhance earnings. However,
the table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate
movements on the net interest margin since the repricing of various categories
of assets and liabilities is subject to competitive pressures and the needs of
the Company's clients. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may
have similar maturities or periods to reprice, they may react differently to
changes in market interest rates. Additionally, various assets and liabilities
indicated as repricing within the same period may in fact reprice at different
times within such period and at different rates.

</TABLE>
(1) Loans exclude $4,173,000 nonaccrual loans
The Company actively manages the mix of asset and liability repricing
and maturity schedules to control the effects of changes in the general level of
interest rates on net interest income. At December 31, 1995, the Company's rate
sensitive balance sheet was shown to be in a negative gap position. The gap
among immediately repriceable assets and liabilities was negative by $77,211,000
or 34% of assets. The cumulative negative gap narrows to $57,058,000 or 25% of
total assets in the "Next Day through Three Months" column and continues to
narrow thereafter. The table above implies that the Company's earnings will be
reduced in the short-term if interest rates rise. In practice, management
believes the impact of rising interest rates will be reduced because the
interest rates on the Company's repriceable assets are expected to increase to a
greater degree than will the interest rates on the Company's repriceable
liabilities in a rising rate environment. Additionally, the Company's
short-term negative gap was somewhat less pronounced due to the cash flows
produced by the Company's portfolio of mortgage-backed securities. While the
Company had a large amount of longer-term interest-earning assets, those assets
were funded primarily from noninterest-bearing liabilities such as demand
deposits which minimized the Company's risk of carrying those assets.
In January 1993, in order to lock in a higher rate of return, the
Company entered into two interest rate exchange agreements (swaps). These
interest rate exchange agreements have a total aggregate notional (principal)
amount of $40,000,000 as protection on a portion of the Company's variable rate
loan portfolio. Under the terms of these swaps, the Company receives a fixed
rate of 7.21% for a three-year period while the
35
<PAGE>
Company pays the prime rate over the same term. These swaps are not marked to
market. Due in part to these swaps, the Company's net interest margin for 1993
increased to 4.95%. During 1994, as interest rates rose, the Company began
paying more on these swaps than it received and while the Company's net interest
margin continued to rise. Although these swaps are now negatively impacting the
Company's net interest margin, these swaps terminate in January 1996. The
Company desired to maintain the existing spread between a portion of its
repricing liabilities and its repriceable assets and subsequently, in
anticipation of rising interest rates, entered into an interest rate exchange
agreement which started in May 1994 with a notional (principal) amount of
$15,000,000. This swap is intended to protect against the rise of deposit costs
relative to the prime rate. Under the terms of the basic swap, for a period of
five years the Company pays a rate of prime less 190 basis points while
receiving the three-month LIBOR. Because the Company's repricing liabilities
typically move to a lesser degree than does the three-month LIBOR, the terms of
the original swap included limits on the rate to be received by the Company.
This feature of the swap required mark-to-market accounting and the Company
terminated this feature of the swap and recorded a pre-tax expense of $385,000
in 1994. Although this swap reduces current earnings, the management of the
Company believes this reduction in earnings is justified by the protection
against a narrowing spread.
As additional protection against lower interest rates, in December 1994
and January 1995, the Company entered into three interest rate floor contracts
with a notional (principal) amount of $60,000,000. The agreements entitled the
Company to receive from counterparties on a monthly basis the amounts, if any by
which the one-month LIBOR rate falls below 6%. The floor agreements were for a
period of three years. The average premium paid for the floor agreements was
approximately 20 basis points ($120,000) and was being amortized over three
years. In May 1995, the Company sold the floor contracts for total
consideration of $722,500. This amount is being amortized over the original
three year term. In order to protect the fair value of a portion of the
Company's GNMA variable rate securities, in December 1995, the Company purchased
two interest rate caps with a notional (principal) amount $10,000,000 each. The
agreements entitled the Company to receive from counterparties on a quarterly
basis the amounts, if any by which the one year CMT rate rises above 6.50% for
one of the agreements and 6.75% on the other. The cap agreements are for a
period of three years. The average premium paid for the cap agreements was 63.5
basis points ($127,000) which is being amortized over the three year period.
LIQUIDITY
Adequate liquidity and maintenance of an appropriate balance between
interest rate sensitive earning assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities
is the principal function of asset/liability management of a financial
institution. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow
requirements of clients who may be depositors desiring to withdraw funds or
borrowers requiring assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet
their credit needs. Aside from asset/liability management, the Company
maintains short-term sources of funds to meet periodic planned and unplanned
increases in loan demand and deposit withdrawals and maturities. The initial
source of liquidity is the excess funds sold daily to other banks in the form of
federal funds. Besides cash and cash equivalents, the Company maintains a large
percentage of its assets in investment securities. These securities include
both securities available-for-sale and securities held-to-maturity. Securities
available-for-sale can be sold in response to liquidity needs or used as
collateral under reverse repurchase agreements. Securities held-to-maturity are
available for liquidity needs solely as collateral for reverse repurchase
agreements. The Company had no reverse repurchase agreements as of December 31,
1995; however the Company averaged $3,458,000 in net funding from reverse
repurchase agreements during 1995. As evidence of the Company's high level of
liquidity, at December 31, 1995, cash and cash equivalents totaled $85,200,000
while securities available for reverse repurchase agreements totaled
approximately $127,000,000 the combined amount of $212,200,000 represents almost
66% of the Company's total assets. This level of liquidity allows the Company
to reduce its utilization of low yielding short-term assets while maintaining
flexibility during periods of deposit outflow without being forced to maintain
high levels of cash equivalents.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors of Professional Bancorp, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Professional Bancorp, Inc. (a Pennsylvania corporation) and subsidiary as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years
in the two-year period ended December 31, 1995. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of
Professional Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1993 and for the
year then ended, were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated
February 21, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 1995 consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Professional Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
two-year period ended December 31, 1995.
As discussed in note 1 of the consolidated financial statements,
Professional Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary adopted the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, in 1994.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Professional Bancorp and Subsidiary (the "Company") is engaged in the
general commercial banking business and provides a wide range of commercial
banking services primarily directed towards the professional community.
Services include those traditionally offered by commercial banks such as
checking and savings accounts; time certificates of deposit; and commercial,
consumer/installment, home equity and short-term real estate loans, with an
emphasis on cash flow lending. The service area of the Company consists of the
California counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and
Ventura with a full-service office at its Santa Monica headquarters and four
full-serve branches located in Beverly Hills, Tarzana, Pasadena and Redlands.
The Company directs its services towards the professional market place with a
heavy emphasis on medical practitioners, and to a lesser extent, attorneys and
accountants.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and conform to general practices
within the banking industry. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reported periods.
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Professional Bancorp, Inc. (the "Bancorp") and its wholly owned subsidiary,
First Professional Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"). All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS No. 107) requires the disclosure of
the fair value of financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the
statement of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate the
value. A significant portion of the Bank's assets and liabilities are financial
instruments as defined under SFAS No. 107. Fair values, estimates and
assumptions are set forth in Note 15, Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
INTEREST RATE RISKS
The Company, as an institution with long-term assets (both loans and
investments), may experience a decrease in profitability and the value of such
assets if the general level of interest rates rise. Rates paid on certain
deposits may rise more quickly in a rapidly rising interest rate environment
than do rates on investment securities, in which case the Company would be
exposed to the risk that its cost of funds may rise more quickly than its
interest income. Additionally, management expects that the Company's net
interest margin would tend to decline if interest rates decline rapidly.
Changes in the general level of interest rates affect the Company's various
investment securities in differing ways. In a declining interest rate
environment, the rate at which the underlying mortgages of mortgage-backed
securities are prepaid tends to increase as borrowers refinance their loans. If
a higher than anticipated level of prepayments were to continue for an extended
period of time, there could be an adverse effect on the level of the Company's
outstanding securities. Securities held in the Company's available-for-sale
portfolio are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded
from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity (net
of tax effects). In a rising interest rate environment, unrealized losses may
negatively affect the Company's shareholders' equity from quarter to quarter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Concentrations of credit risk exist for groups of borrowers when they
have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet
contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other
conditions. The ability of the Bank's borrowers to repay their commitments is
contingent on several factors, including the economic conditions in the
borrowers' geographic area and the individual financial condition of the
borrowers. The Bank's lending activities are primarily conducted in Southern
California. The Bank currently focuses on the origination of commercial loans
to health care organization ranging from single practitioners to large
multi-specialty medical groups. Ongoing changes in the delivery of health care
could negatively impact certain borrowers. The Bank has several loans and loan
commitments to individual clients that total between $2,000,000 and the Bank's
legal lending limit of approximately $3.5 million.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
For purposes of reporting cash flows cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, amounts due from banks and Federal funds sold. Generally, Federal
funds are purchased and sold for one day periods.
SECURITIES
The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (Statement 115), at
January 1, 1994. Under Statement 115, the Company classifies its investment in
debt and equity securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading
securities as applicable. Securities held-to-maturity are those securities for
which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until
maturity. Trading securities consisting of U.S. Government and agency
obligations are acquired and sold to benefit from short-term movements in market
prices. All other securities are classified as available-for-sale.
Securities held-to-maturity are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for
the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Trading securities are
carried at fair value and are recorded as of their trade dates. Gains or losses
on trading securities, both realized and unrealized, are recognized currently in
income. Securities designated as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value.
Change in the fair value of debt securities available-for-sale are included in
stockholders' equity as unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-
sale, net of taxes. Unrealized losses, on securities reflecting a decline in
value judged to be other than temporary, are charged to income in the
consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses and realized
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are computed on a specific
identification basis.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the
related securities held-to-maturity and available-for-sale as an adjustment to
yield using the interest method. Interest income is recognized when earned.
Realized gains and losses for securities held-to-maturity and available-for-sale
are included in operations and are derived using the specific identification
method for determining the cost of the securities sold.
In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
special report as an aid in understanding and implementing SFAS No. 115. The
special report included guidance that allowed the Company to review the
appropriateness of the classifications of all securities held. In December
1995, the Company reclassified securities with a book value of $88.4 million and
fair value of $88.5 million from the held-to-maturity classification to
available-for-sale.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENTS TO RESELL AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER
AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE
The Bank purchases securities under agreements to resell and sells
securities under agreements to repurchase. The agreements have a duration of
one business day and are fully collateralized. Securities purchased under
resale agreements are recorded as short-term investments, while securities sold
under repurchase agreements are recorded as short term obligations. During
1995 and 1994, the Bank made no purchases of securities under agreements to
resell.
DERIVATIVES
The Company adopted SFAS 119 , "Disclosure about Derivative Financial
Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments" at December 31, 1994. The
Bank enters into interest rate exchange agreements and cap and floor agreements
for protection against future fluctuations in the interest rates of specifically
identified assets or liabilities. Interest rate swap agreements are used to
lock in a specific return on its loan portfolio. Interest rate floor agreements
are used to reduce the potential impact of lower interest rates which would
reduce the interest income on loans and on certain securities. Interest rate
cap agreements are used to reduce the potential impact of rising interest rates
which would reduce the interest income on certain securities. Interest rate
swap agreements and interest rate cap and floor agreements are accounted for as
hedges. Gains or losses on the sales of such agreements are deferred and
transferred into interest income or expense over the maturity period of the
agreement. Net interest income (expense) resulting from the differential
between interest rate exchange payments is recorded on a current basis.
Premiums paid for purchased interest rate cap and floor agreements are amortized
on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the terms of the agreements.
Unamortized premiums are included in other assets in the consolidated financial
statements. Amounts receivable under cap and floor agreements are recorded as
an increase to interest income.
MORTGAGE BANKING FEES
The Bank's mortgage banking operations consist solely of a broker
function. This service is provided to assist the Bank's clients in obtaining
mortgage loans with other institutions. The Bank does not originate or sell
mortgage loans. The Bank earns the points and any documentation fees charged on
a loan but is otherwise not involved in the loan. Fees are recorded when
payment is received through escrow.
MERCHANT DISCOUNT INCOME
Merchant discount income consists of the fees charged on credit card
receipts submitted by the Bank's business clients for process. The income
received and the fees paid by the Bank to credit card issuers and expenses for
third party processors are netted and reported as a component of other income.
Such amounts are recognized when received or paid.
LOANS AND THE RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Loans are recorded at face value, less payments received. Interest on
loans is accrued daily as earned, except where a reasonable doubt exists as to
the full collectability of interest or principal, in which case, the accrual of
income is discontinued and the balance of accrued interest is reversed.
Generally, this means that loans are put on nonaccrual status when interest is
ninety days or more past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process
of collection. All payments received subsequent to the loan being put on
nonaccrual are used to reduce the principal balance. Only after the principal
is reduced to zero is interest income realized. Once a loan is placed on
nonaccrual it generally remains on nonaccrual unless the borrower
50

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
1) has the capacity to make payments as evidenced by tax returns and other
financial statements and 2) has the desire tomake payments as evidenced by
keeping the loan current for a period of three to six months. Loan fees in
excess of certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized into
interest income utilizing the interest method over the lives of the related
loans.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered
adequate by management to provide for potential loan losses. Credits deemed
uncollectable are charged to the allowance. Provisions for credit losses and
recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance.
Management, in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, takes
into consideration (1) loan loss experience, (2) collateral values, (3) changes
in the loan portfolio, (4) an assessment of the effect of current and
anticipated economic conditions on the loan portfolio and (5) examinations
conducted by Bank supervisory authorities. While management believes the
allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan
portfolio, there exists the risk of future losses which cannot be precisely
quantified. Because this risk is continually changing in response to factors
beyond the control of the Bank, such as the state of the economy, management's
judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in future periods
is necessarily an estimate. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's
allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize
additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to
them at the time of their examination.
IMPAIRED LOANS
The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114
(SFAS 114) "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and No. 118 (SFAS
118) "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures" which amended certain provisions of SFAS 114 on January 1, 1995.
Impairment of a loan is measured by the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the loan's observable
market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded
investment in the loan, the Company recognizes an impairment by creating a
valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to provision for loan losses.
The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information
and events, it believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement
on a timely basis. For loans classified as nonaccrual and troubled debt
restructurings, specific valuation allowances are established at the difference
between the loan amount and the fair value of collateral less estimated selling
costs.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation on furniture, fixtures, and equipment is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets, which range from two to fifteen years. Leasehold improvements
are capitalized and amortized over the lease term or estimated useful lives of
the improvements, whichever is shorter, using the straight-line method.
AMORTIZATION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTE EXPENSES
Expenses associated with the convertible note offering in 1994 are being
amortized on a straight line basis over the 10 year term of the note. The
convertible notes are presented on the balance sheet net of unamortized
expenses.

INCOME TAXES
The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated federal income and
combined state franchise tax returns. Provisions for income taxes are based on
amounts reported in the statements of income (after exclusion of non-taxable
income such as interest on state and municipal securities) and include deferred
taxes on temporary differences between tax and financial statement purposes.
Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability approach. A valuation
allowance is established for deferred tax assets, if based on the weight of
available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance is sufficient
to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to
be realized.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Primary earnings per share are based on the number of common shares
outstanding, adjusted to reflect any stock splits and stock dividends, during
each year, and the assumed exercise of dilutive employee stock options (less the
number of treasury shares assumed to be purchased using the average market price
of the Company's common stock). Fully diluted earnings per share include the
dilutive effect of the shares to be issued under the terms of the convertible
notes issued in 1994. Earnings per share are based on the modified treasury
stock method. The modified treasury stock method counts all outstanding
warrants and stock options as outstanding and then assumes the proceeds are used
to repurchase up to 20% of the outstanding shares at the average market price.
The remaining proceeds are then assumed to be invested in U. S. Treasury
securities yielding 6% in 1995 and 1994 and 5.2% in 1993. Primary and fully
diluted earnings per share are based upon 1,704,945 and 2,126,370 weighted
average shares, respectively for 1995. Primary and fully diluted earnings per
share are based upon 1,791,268 and 2,053,666 weighted average shares,
respectively for 1994. Both primary and fully diluted earnings per share are
based upon 1,796,126 weighted average shares for 1993.
401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
The Bank has a 401(k) savings plan in effect for substantially all of its
full-time employees. Employee contributions under the plan are matched by the
Bank up to a maximum of 3.0% of the employee's annual salary for 1995 and 2.0%
of the employee's annual salary for 1994 and 1993. Salaries and employee
benefits expense includes $73,800, $44,600 and $47,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, related to the Bank's contributions.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the 1994 and 1993 financial
statements to conform with the 1995 presentation of those items.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March of 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for
Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed of" (SFAS No. 121"). SFAS No. 121 establishes
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. SFAS No. 121 requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an
entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the
event that a long-lived asset is determined to be impaired, an impairment loss
shall be recognized. SFAS No. 121 prescribes that impairment losses for long
lived assets shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds its fair value. Additionally, SFAS No. 121 provides that
long-lived assets, to be disposed by
52
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
sale or abandonment, shall be reported at the lower of carrying amount of fair
value less cost of disposition. This statement is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The adoption of
SFAS No. 121 will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
In October of 1995, the FASB issued Statement of financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123").
SFAS No. 123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-
based employee compensation plans. Those plans include all arrangements by
which employees receive shares of stock or the equity instruments of the
employer or the employer incurred liabilities to employees in amounts based on
the price of the employer's stock. Examples are stock purchase plans, stock
options, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights. This Statement also
applies to transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to
acquire goods or services from non-employees. Those transactions must be
accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair
value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
The accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for transactions
entered into in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995. The disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning December 15, 1995, or for an earlier fiscal year for which SFAS
No. 123 is initially adopted for recognizing compensation cost. SFAS No. 123
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
NOTE 2 - RESTRICTED CASH BALANCES
Aggregate cash balances (in the form of deposits with the Federal Reserve
Bank) of approximately $4,144,000 and $6,320,000 were maintained to satisfy
federal regulatory requirements at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had troubled debt restructurings
totaling $1,167,000 of which $104,000 was on nonaccrual. The remaining
$1,063,000 was performing according to the renegotiated terms. The gross
interest income that would have been recorded in 1995 on troubled debt
restructurings if the loans had been current in accordance with the original
terms totaled $140,000 which includes $13,000 on the restructured loan on
nonaccrual. The amount of interest income actually recognized in 1995 on those
loans totaled $91,000. At December 31, 1995, there were no additional loan
commitments outstanding to borrowers of troubled debt restructurings. There
were no troubled debt restructurings during 1994.
The Company had approximately $5,240,000 in impaired loans as of December
31, 1995. The carrying value of impaired loans for which there is a related
allowance for loan losses was $2,629,000, with the amount of allowance for
credit losses allocated to these loans of $311,000. There were $2,607,000 in
impaired loans for which there was no related allowance for loan losses. The
average recorded investment in impaired loans during 1995 was $4,200,000 and

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in
making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and
projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax
assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the
Company will realize all benefits related to these deductible differences.
Amounts for the current year are based upon estimates and assumptions as
of the date of this report and could vary from amounts shown on the tax returns
as filed. Accordingly, the variances from the amounts previously reported for
1994 are primarily the result of adjustments to conform to the tax returns as
filed.
NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company's stock option plans allow option holders to "pyramid" their
options upon exercise. Through this process, which utilizes the intrinsic value
of the options at the time of exercise, the option holders avoid incurring
additional costs. As a result, more options will be exercised than shares
issued, depending on the intrinsic value of the options at the time of exercise.
The Company has a stock option plan dated April 20, 1983 (the "1983
Plan"), which authorizes the issuance of up to 165,894 shares of the Company's
unissued common stock to directors, officers and other personnel. Option prices
may not be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of the grant.
Options granted under the 1983 Plan expire not more than five years after the
date of grant and must be fully paid when exercised.

During 1995, 33,837 stock options were exercised pursuant to the Company's
1983 and 1990 Plans and 20,409 common stock shares were issued.
The Company also has a stock option plan dated December 31, 1992 (the "1992
Plan"), which authorizes the issuance of up to 393,750 shares of the Company's
unissued common stock to directors, officers and other personnel. Option prices
may not be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of the grant for
incentive stock options and 85% of the fair market value for non-qualified stock
options. Options granted under the 1992 Plan expire not more than ten years
after the date of grant and must be fully paid when exercised.
The status of options granted under the 1992 Plan is shown as follows:

At December 31, 1995, all 393,750 option shares were exercisable.
On June 23, 1995, the Company declared a 5% stock dividend primarily paid
by a distribution of 56,274 treasury shares on July 19, 1995.
On June 19, 1994, the Company concluded a public offering of convertible
notes totaling $5,750,000 at an initial interest rate of 8.50%. The interest
rate paid on the convertible notes is reset on March 1, 1998 at 150 basis points
over the 5 year Constant Maturity Treasury Index at that time. The interest
rate is then fixed to maturity on March 1, 2004. The convertible notes are
convertible in shares of common stock at a conversion price of $13.3333 per
share anytime after March 1, 1998. Proceeds to the Company from the offering
totaled $4,709,000.
On January 19, 1993, the Company concluded a private placement offering of
341,250 shares of common stock at a price of $12.62 per share. All but 15,225
shares were sold as of December 31,1992. In connection with the offering,
393,750 options and 131,250 warrants were issued on December 31, 1992 and are
considered issued and outstanding. The options and warrants became exercisable
on December 31, 1994 at a price of $12.62 per share and expire on December 31,
2002. Proceeds to the Company from the offering totaled $3,559,000 as of
December 31, 1992. Additional proceeds of $182,000 were received on January 19,
1993.
In connection with the private placement, the Company issued (i) a warrant
to Robert H. Leshner, principal of the placement agent, to purchase 105,000
shares of Common Stock (the "Leshner Warrant") and (ii) a warrant to Andrew E.
Haas, which was subsequently reissued as two warrants to purchase 13,125 shares
to each of Mr. Haas and Curtis Swindal, each at a purchase price of $13.33 per
share exercisable in full on or after December 31, 1994 and before December 31,
2002. The Company agreed to grant the holders of the shares issued upon
exercise of the warrants ("Warrant Shares") the right, on two occasions during
the five-year period beginning December 31, 1994, to require to Company to
register (the "Demand Registration") the Warrant Shares under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"). The Company will pay the expenses of
62
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
one Demand Registration. In addition, the holders of the Warrant Shares will
have the right during the period December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1997 to have
the Warrant Shares included in registrations of the Common Stock under the Act
at the expense of the Company.
Under the terms of the Leshner Warrant, if Dr. Kovner dies before December
31, 2002, then the Company will purchase, at the option of Mr. Leshner, some or
all of the warrants and/or Warrant Shares then owned by Mr. Leshner, provided
that (i) the maximum aggregate purchase price paid by the Company shall be not
more than $1,000,000 and (ii) the funds to purchase such warrants and/or Warrant
Shares shall come solely from the proceeds of the key person life insurance
policy on Dr. Kovner. Furthermore, if at any time prior to December 31, 2002
Mr. Leshner wishes to sell some or all of the warrants and/or Warrant Shares to
a third party, Mr. Leshner must offer to sell such warrants and/or Warrant
Shares to the Company on the same terms and conditions being offered to such
third party. Another term of the Leshner Warrant restricts Bancorp's ability to
issue certain types of preferred stock which would entitle the holders thereof
to receive dividends or distributions of assets that vary in amount with
Bancorp's performance.
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company leases its premises and certain equipment under several
noncancellable operating leases which expire on various dates through January
31, 2002. Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
amounted to approximately $990,000, $1,011,000 and $1,083,000, respectively.
The following is a schedule by years of future minimum rental commitments
required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancellable
lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 1995:

The building lease commitments are subject to cost-of-living adjustments to
reflect future changes in the consumer price index or a fixed periodic rate
increase. Those leases with fixed periodic rate increases and/or specified
months with no rent due are amortized so that the average monthly cost of the
lease is charged each month.
LENDING COMMITMENTS
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its clients.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
consolidated balance sheet. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those
instruments. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had commitments to
extend credit of approximately $50,415,000
63
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
and $46,939,000, respectively, and obligations under standby letters of credit
of approximately $4,984,000 and $3,755,000, respectively. These commitments and
obligations were variable rate in structure.
The Company is finalizing several agreements which will result in the
acquisition of assets in satisfaction of a loan totaling $2,300,000. As of
December 31, 1995 the loan was disclosed as nonaccrual and impaired. The
underlying assets include two partnership interests and a promissory note. The
loan has been written down to the fair value of the underlying collateral in
accordance with FASB 114.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company
to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including
commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. At December 31, 1995
all guarantees extended for a period of 12 months or less. The Company uses the
same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it
does for extending loan facilities to clients. The Company evaluates each
client's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if necessary by the Company upon an extension of credit, is based on
management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but
may include accounts receivable, inventory, property plant and equipment and
income-producing commercial real estate.
LITIGATION
The Company and its subsidiary are defendants in legal actions arising from
transactions conducted in the ordinary course of their business. Based upon
discussion with the Company's attorneys, management believes that the ultimate
liability, if any, arising from such actions will not materially affect the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 10 - TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING DIRECTORS AND AFFILIATED PARTIES
As part of its normal banking activities, the Company has extended credit
to various directors and employees and their related interest. The credit
extended to these individuals and affiliates for the three years ended December
31, 1995, is summarized as follows:

Interest income earned on these loans amounted to approximately $299,000,
$258,000 and $232,000 during the years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In
the opinion of management, all such extensions of credit are on terms similar to
transactions with nonaffiliated parties and involve only normal credit risk.
NOTE 11 - CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDEND PAYMENTS
The Officer of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the Bank's
primary regulator, has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for
national banks. These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1 capital leverage
ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets) of 3.0% for national banks that
meet certain
64
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
specified criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. All other
national banks will generally be required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 capital
leverage ratio of 3.0% plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points.
The OCC has not advised the Bank of any specific minimum Tier 1 capital leverage
ratio applicable to it.
The Federal Reserve Board, as the Company's primary regulator, has
similarly established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding
companies. These guidelines also provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of
3.0 percent for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria,
including having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding
companies will generally be required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 capital
leverage ratio of 3.0 percent plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis
points. The Federal Reserve Board has not advised the Company of any specific
minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio applicable to it. Under risk-based
capital standards, banking organizations are expected to meet a minimum ratio
for qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, 4.0% of which must
be Tier 1 capital. At December 31, 1995, the Company and the Bank exceeded the
minimum capital requirements, required for consideration as a "well capitalized"
institution as defined by the Company's and the Bank's regulators.
Under federal banking law, dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar
year may not, without the approval of the OCC, exceed its net income, as
defined, for that year combined with its retained net income for the preceding
two years. Dividends declared may not exceed amounts necessary to satisfy the
aforementioned capital requirements. As of December 31, 1995 the Bank could
declare dividends of $4,826,000 without obtaining regulatory approval.
Federal banking law also restricts the Bank from extending credit to the Company
in excess of 10% of the capital stock and surplus, as defined. Any such
extensions of credit are subject to strict collateral requirements.
NOTE 12 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES
On June 19, 1994, the Company completed a public offering of $5,750,000 in
convertible subordinated reset notes (the "Notes") which mature on March 1, 2004
and incurred expenses of $1,041,000. Interest on the Notes is payable
semiannually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1,
1994 at the rate of 8.50% per annum until March 1, 1998, and from March 2, 1998
until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment at a rate per
annum equal to the Reference Rate (as defined below) plus 150 basis points. The
"Reference Rate" is the most recent "Five Year Constant Treasury Maturity Index"
published by the Federal Reserve Bank, or its successor, at least 60 days prior
to March 2, 1998. The Notes are convertible into Common Stock of the Company at
any time prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed, into shares of Common
Stock at a conversion price of $13.3333 per share, subject to adjustment in
certain events. The Notes are redeemable in whole or in part at the option of
the Company at any time on or after March 2, 1998 at the redemption prices set,
subject to the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. During 1995, $131,000 of the Notes were converted into 9,825 Common
Stock shares. If all $5,619,000 of the remaining Notes were converted into
Common Stock, 421,426 shares of Common Stock would be issued. Of the proceeds,
$3,615,000 was invested in the Bank, N.A. and $930,000 was used to extinguish a
stock repurchase obligation. The Notes are counted as Tier 2 capital at the
Company and the investment of $3,615,000 is counted as Tier 1 capital at the
Bank.
NOTE 13 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has only limited involvement with derivative financial
instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. They are used to manage
well-defined interest rate price risks.
65
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Interest rate floor and cap agreements are used to reduce the potential
impact of changes in interest rates which would reduce the interest income
and/or market value on loans and on certain securities. The Company entered
into three interest rate floor agreements during December 1994 and January 1995
for a total notional amount of $60 million. The agreements entitled the Company
to receive from counterparties on a monthly basis the amounts, if any by which
the one-month LIBOR rate falls below 6%. The floor agreements were for a period
of three years. The average premium paid for the floor agreements was
approximately 20 basis points ($120,000) and was being amortized over three
years. In May, 1995, the Company sold the floor contracts for total
consideration of $722,500. This amount is being amortized over the original
three year term. From December 1994 to December 31, 1995, net interest income
was increased by the floors by $140,000 including $141,000 during 1995. In
December, 1995, the Company entered into two interest rate cap agreements for a
notional amount of $10 million each. The agreements entitle the Company to
receive from counterparties on a quarterly basis the amounts, if any by which
the one year Constant Maturity Treasury Index (CMT) rises above 6..50% on $10
million notional amount and 6.75% on $10 million notional amount. The cap
agreements are for a period of three years. The average premium paid for the
cap agreements was approximately 63.5 basis points ($127,000) and is being
amortized over three years. Net interest income in 1995 was decreased by the
caps by $1,000.
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements in order to lock in a
specific return on its loan portfolio. In January, 1993 the Company entered
into two interest rate swap agreements that pay the Company a fixed rate of
7.215% for three years beginning in January, 1993 while the Company pays the
prime rate floating. These swaps have a total notional amount of $40 million
and terminate in January 1996. Net interest income for 1993 was increased by
the two swaps by $439,000. Net interest income for 1995 and 1994 was reduced by
the two swaps by $694,000 and $10,400, respectively. These swaps expire during
January, 1996. In November 1993, the Bank entered into a swap with a notional
amount of $15,000,000. The effective date of the swap is May 26, 1994 and it
covers a period of five years ending in May 1999. Under the terms of the
swap, the Bank pays a rate of prime less 190 basis points while receiving the
three-month LIBOR. The rate the Bank pays adjusts daily while the rate the Bank
receives adjusts quarterly. The terms of the swap originally included an
interest rate cap which was terminated in 1994 and an expense of $385,000 was
recorded. Net interest income for 1995 and 1994 was reduced by the swap by
$135,000 and $77,000, respectively. At the date of this report, the Company is
paying 6.35% and receiving 5.27%.
The Company is exposed to potential credit losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties to its interest rate floor agreements,
interest rate swap agreements and nonderivative financial assets but has no off-
balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. The Company anticipates, however,
that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the
contracts. The Company does not obtain
collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit
risk but monitors the credit standing of counterparties.
NOTE 15 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of FASB statement No.
107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (the "Statement").
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Bank using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However,
considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to
develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Bank could realize in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts.

</TABLE>
The fair value of marketable securities and interest rate swaps is based on
quoted market prices, dealer quotes, and prices obtained from independent
pricing services. The fair values of loans are estimated using discount cash
flow analysis. The analysis was performed on a loan-by-loan basis by projecting
each loan's expected cash flows and discounting these flows at appropriate
discount rates. The expected cash flows were determined by contractually
scheduled payments of principal and interest, incorporating scheduled rate
adjustments, periodic caps, and lifetime ceilings and floors for adjustable
loans. The fair values are based on a stable interest rate scenario and do not
incorporate bid-ask spreads or discounts that might be required to dispose of
assets in bulk. Discount rates applied to the expected cash flows were based on
the Bank's offer rates for new loans with similar collateral and terms, adjusted
to reflect differential risk based on collateral value, payment status, and/or
credit classification at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
For purposes of disclosure under SFAS 107, the fair value of deposits with
no defined maturities, such as demand deposits, money market deposits and
savings accounts, is the amount payable on demand at the valuation date. For
deposit liabilities with defined maturities, such as time certificates of
deposit, calculation of fair value was based on the discounted value of future
cash flows expected to be paid, where the discount rate was the Bank's offer
rate or market rate for similar deposits with maturities equivalent to the
remaining terms on the deposits being valued at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Under the guidelines described in SFAS 107, the estimated fair
value for term deposit accounts should not be less than the amount payable on
demand. In situations where the contract rate is below the current offer rate
the fair value would approximate the amount payable on demand, net of any
withdrawal penalties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Standby letters of credit principally support corporate obligations and
include $823,000 and $550,000 that was collateralized with cash at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1995, all $4,984,000 of the
standby letters of credit and $40,198,000 of other lending commitments expired
within one year. The estimated fair value of lending commitments and letters of
credit is estimated using fees currently charged for similar arrangements,
adjusted for changes in interest rates and credit that occurred subsequent to
origination.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent
information available to management as of December 31, 1995. Although
management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the
estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively
revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and,
therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the
amounts presented herein.
NOTE 16 - PARENT COMPANY INFORMATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each period. Full-year weighted average shares differ from
quarterly weighted average shares and, therefore annual earnings (loss) per
share may not equal the sum of the quarters.
