                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION

    The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all
footnotes normally required for complete financial disclosure.  while
Professional Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") believes that the disclosures
presented are sufficient to make the information not misleading, reference may
be made to the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995.

    The accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of earnings and
statements of cash flows reflect all material adjustments necessary for fair
presentation for the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995 and the results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.


NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Earnings per share are based on the number of common shares outstanding
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).  Earnings per share for the three
month periods ending March 31, 1996 and 1995 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
for the period.  The remaining proceeds are then assumed to be invested in U.S.
Treasury securities yielding 6.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995.  Primary earnings per share are based upon 1,576,075 and 1,720,460 shares
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Fully diluted
earnings per share are based upon 1,997,351 and 2,151,710 shares for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Common shares exclude
109,181 of weighted average treasury shares for 1996 and 1995.

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    The Company posted earnings of 275,000 during the first three months of
1996 compared to earnings of $503,000 during the first three months of 1995.
The first quarter of 1995 included a gain from securities transactions of
$26,000.

    Deposits have historically declined during the first quarter and decreased
$29.1 million or 9.8% to $268.4 million at March 31, 1996.  This decline was
exaggerated by the outflow of approximately $25 million in Time certificates of
deposit (TCD's) which had been anticipated for several months.  Savings and
money market accounts continued to represent the largest category of deposits
comprising  36.1% of total deposits at March 31, 1996 compared to 32.7% at
December 31, 1995 and 37.8% at March 31, 1995.  TCD's comprised 27.5% of
deposits at March 31, 1996 compared to 29.6% at December 31, 1995 and 22.4% of
deposits at March 31, 1995.    Noninterest bearing deposits continued to form a
solid deposit base comprising 31.2% of deposits at March 31, 1996 compared to
32.8% at December 31, 1995 and 34.5% at March 31, 1995.

    The Company continued to experience a low level of loan demand as gross
loans totaled $99,074,000 at March 31, 1996 compared to $100,085,000 at December
31, 1995 for an annual rate of decline of 4%.  The decrease was due primarily to
a decrease in commercial loans.  Management expects some additional loan demand
during the second quarter of 1996 as the Company is planning to begin
originating loans to Medical Service Organization's.  The Company will also
begin to originate loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration; most
of these loans, however, will be sold.

    The following table sets forth the amount of loans outstanding by category
and the percentage of each category to the total loan portfolio:

    The Bank does not originate mortgage loans or accept trust deeds on
property outside the State of California as primary collateral for a loan.  At
March 31, 1996 nonperforming loans (loans put on nonaccrual status) totaled
$5,033,000 or 5.08% of total loans.  At December 31, 1995, nonperforming loans
totaled

                                          7

<PAGE>
$4,173,000 or 4.18% of total loans.  At March 31, 1996, nonperforming assets
(nonperforming loans plus Other Real Estate Owned) totaled $5,123,000 or 1.75%
of total assets and 5.18% of total loans.  At December 31, 1995, nonperforming
assets totaled $4,263,000 or 1.32% of total assets and 4.26% of total loans.
Additionally, accruing loans 90 days or more past due increased to $687,000 at
March 31, 1996 compared to $632,000 at December 31, 1995.

    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

    For the Company, impaired loans generally include loans classified as
nonaccrual and troubled debt restructurings.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had
troubled debt restructurings totaling $1,769,000, $599,000 of which was on
nonaccrual.

    The Company had approximately $6,206,000 in impaired loans as of March 31,
1996.  The carrying value of impaired loans for which there was a specific
related allowance for loan losses was $2,782,000, with the amount of allowance
for loan losses allocated to these loans of $539,000.  There were $3,424,000 in
impaired loans for which there was no specific related allowance for credit
losses.  The Company had approximately $5,240,000 in impaired loans as of
December 31, 1995.  The carrying value of impaired loans for which there was a
specific related allowance for loan losses was $2,629,000, with the amount of
allowance for loan losses allocated to these loans of $311,000.  There were
$2,607,000 in impaired loans for which there was no related allowance for credit
losses.  The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the first
three months of 1996 was $6.2 million with interest income of $36,000 recorded
during the period.

    The Bank continued to actively manage its liquidity and on March 31, 1996,
the Bank sold $34.9 million in Federal funds.  In addition, at March 31, 1996
the Bank had approximately $78.7 million market value available in the Bank's
securities available-for-sale account.

    The Office 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 less goodwill) of 3.0 percent 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 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.

    Risk-based capital standards were implemented on December 31, 1990.  Since
December 31, 1992, banking organizations are expected to meet a minimum ratio
for qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00%, 4.00% of which
must be Tier 1 capital.

    The following tables present the capital ratios for a bank holding company
and bank, and various federal regulatory capital ratios of the Company and the
Bank at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

    At March 31, 1996 the Company and the Bank exceeded all applicable federal
capital standards.  Additionally, the Company and the Bank exceeds the required
minimum ratios for "well-capitalized" institutions.  The Bank has approximately
$8,699,000 of capital in excess of the required minimum ratios for "well-
capitalized" institutions while the Company has approximately $4,119,000 of
capital in excess of the required minimum ratios for "well-capitalized
institutions.  The Company does not currently intend to raise additional
capital.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased by $228,000 to
$275,000 compared earnings of $503,000 for the same period in 1995,  Earnings
per share, as calculated using the modified treasury stock method, decreased to
$0.20 per fully diluted share compared to $0.30 per share for the first quarter
of 1995.  Earnings decreased due to a slight narrowing of the interest margin to
5.03% for the first quarter of 1996 from 5.23% recorded in the year earlier
period, a higher provision for loan losses ($180,000 versus $62,000) and a
slight decline in average earning assets ($262,253,000 versus $275,541,000).

    Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 was $3,275,000, an decrease of $328,000 (9%) below the
amount recorded during the same period in 1995. The Company's net interest
margin decreased to 5.03% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 from 5.23% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The net interest margin narrowed primarily
due a slight shift in the Bank's deposit mix.  Noninterest bearing deposits
comprised 31.2% of deposits at March 31, 1996 compared to 32.8% at December 31,
1995 and 34.5% at March 31, 1995.  Positively impacting net interest income was
the

                                          9

termination of two interest rate swaps totaling $40 million notional (principal)
amount.  Under the terms of the two swaps, the Company received a fixed rate of
7.215% for three years ended January 1996, while the Company paid the prime rate
over the same period of time.  From January 1993 to March 31, 1996, the two
swaps decreased net interest income by $281,000 including $15,000 during the
first three months of 1996 and $161,000 during the first three months of 1995.

    In November 1993, the Bank entered into a swap with a notional amount of
$15,000,000.  The effective start date of the swap was May 26, 1994 covering 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.  Net interest income from May 1994 to March 31, 1996 was
reduced by the swap by $242,000 including $30,000 during the first three months
of 1996 and $34,000 during the first quarter of 1995.  At the date of this
report, the Company is paying 6.35% and receiving 5.27%.

    As protection against lower interest rates, in December 1994 and January
1995, the Compnay entered into three interes 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 at appproximately $20,000 per month.  From December 1994 to
March 31, 1996, net interest income was increased by the floors by $198,000
including $59,000 during the first three months of 1996.  Net interest income
was reduced by the floors by $4,000 during the first three months of 1995.  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 of $10,000,000 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 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.  From
December 1995 to March 1996, net interest income was reduced by the caps by
$12,000 including $11,000 during the first three months of 1996.

    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 March 31, 1996, the Company's available-for-sale portfolio totaled
$78,716,000 fair value compared to $81,520,000 at December 31, 1995 and
$37,346,000 at March 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

                                          10

<PAGE>

Company's CMO's had a total fair value of $36,694,000 which included several
securities.   One CMO, with a fair value of $4,968,000 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
$10,298,000 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 $17,428,000 repricing monthly thereafter at 55 to 65
basis points over the one-month LIBOR. The remaining CMO had a fair value of
$4,000,000 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 Company also holds approximately $40.1 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 March 31, 1996 the one-year CMT rate was 5.41%.

At March 31, 1996, the Company's held-to-maturity portfolio totaled $47,570,000
compared to $48,517,000 at December 31, 1995 and $118,742,000 at March 31, 1995.
The most significant holdings in the Company held-to-maturity portfolio include
$14.7 million Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) pass-through
securities and $25.8 million fixed rate GNMA pass-through securities.  The FNMA
securities have coupons of between 6.39% and 7.114%, are fixed until between
September 1999 and January 2000, then float off the one year CMT plus between
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 which have fixed
coupon rates between 7% and 9%.  These 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.  Overall, as interest rates
remained similar, the yield on the Company's investment securities increased
from 6.27% during the first three months of 1995 to 6.33% for the first three
months of 1996.

    Other operating income, excluding securities transactions totaled $363,000
for the first three months of 1996 compared to $328,000 for the same period in
1995.  The increase was due primarily to higher mortgage banking fees which
reflects the pickup in Southern California for both mortgage refinancing as well
as purchases.  The Company's mortgage banking operations consist solely of a
broker function.  The Bank, as broker, packages all of the 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.

    For the first three months of 1996, other operating expenses decreased
$74,000 or 2.4% compared to the same period in 1995.  There were decreases in
several expense areas primarily salaries and employment benefits which decreased
$63,000 due to temporary changes in staffing levels.  Otherwise, increases in
legal fees ($23,000) due to increased loan collection efforts, imprinted checks
($34,000) due to client check orders, furniture and equipment $30,000 due to
computure upgrades and donations ($43,000) offset the reduction in the FDIC
assessment of $154,000.  While many of the expense variances are nonrecurring,
the Company is currently developing an expanded product line which will result
in a similar overall level of noninterest expense in the remaining quarters of
1996.  Such products include asset managment, cash management, mutual funds,
trust, estate planning and custody services and Small Business Administration
("SBA") lending.  These products should also increase noninterest income
beginning in the third quarter of 1996.
