                             A.  SC BANCORP MERGER
 
    Western Bancorp (the "Company") serves as the holding company for National
Bank of Southern California ("NBSC"), Southern California Bank ("SC Bank"),
Western Bank ("Western" and together with NBSC and SC Bank, the "Banks") and
Venture Partners. On October 10, 1997 the shareholders of the Company and the
shareholders of SC Bancorp ("SCB") each approved the principal terms of an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of April 29, 1997 (the "Merger
Agreement"), by and between the Company (formerly Monarch Bancorp) and SCB
providing for the merger of SCB with and into the Company (the "SCB Merger").
The SCB Merger was consummated on October 10, 1997.
 
    Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of
SCB ("SCB Common Stock") prior to the SCB Merger (other than shares held in a
fiduciary capacity or as a result of a debt previously contracted) was converted
into the right to receive 0.4556 shares (the "Conversion Number") of common
stock of the Company ("Company Common Stock"). In addition, each option or right
to purchase shares of SCB Common Stock (an "SCB Option") outstanding immediately
prior to the effective time of the SCB Merger was converted into the right to
receive, for each share otherwise issuable upon exercise thereof, a number of
shares of Company Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the
Spread (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by $31.28. Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, the Conversion Number was determined by dividing (i) $14.25 by (ii)
$31.28.
 
    Upon consummation of the SCB Merger, the Company issued approximately
3,555,500 shares of Company Common Stock (prior to adjustment for fractional
shares) to former shareholders of SCB, and as a result, the former shareholders
of SCB own shares of Company Common Stock representing approximately 33.5
percent of the outstanding Company Common Stock.
 
    The description of the Merger Agreement contained herein is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement. After giving effect to the SCB
Merger, the total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries increased to
approximately $1.4 billion, total deposits increased to approximately $1.2
billion and total shareholders equity increased to approximately $134.5 million
as of September 30, 1997, on a restated basis, before merger and restructuring
costs.
 
    As a part of the SCB Merger, Harold A. Beisswenger, Larry D. Hartwig,
William C. Greenbeck and Donald E. Wood, former directors of SCB, were appointed
to the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
                          B.  SANTA MONICA BANK MERGER
 
    The following tables show unaudited summary pro forma balance sheet and
income statement information for the SCB Merger and for the pending merger of
Santa Monica Bank ("SMB") with and into the Company (the "SMB Merger").
Pooling-of-interests accounting is used for the pro forma information for the
SCB Merger, and purchase accounting is used for the pro forma information for
the SMB Merger. Information for SMB is included only in the balance sheet as of
September 30, 1997, and the income statement information for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996. The balance sheet and
income statement adjustments shown below are based on management's
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
estimates for costs and, in the case of the SMB Merger, the fair value
adjustments associated with these transactions.
 
    The unaudited summary pro forma balance sheet information is not necessarily
indicative of the actual financial position that would have existed had the SMB
Merger and the SCB Merger been consummated at the beginning of the periods
presented or that may exist in the future. The unaudited summary pro forma
income statement information is not necessarily indicative of the results that
would have occurred had either the SMB Merger or the SCB Merger been consummated
on the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future. Assuming the
consummation of the SMB Merger, the actual financial position and results of
operations will differ, perhaps significantly, from the pro forma amounts
reflected herein because of a variety of factors, including changes in value of
assets and liabilities and changes in operating results between the dates of the
pro forma financial data and the date on which the SMB Merger takes place.

     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND FOR THE
     THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996.
 
    On October 10, 1997, the Company consummated the SCB Merger. On June 4,
1997, the Company consummated the merger of California Commercial Bankshares
("CCB") with and into the Company (the "CCB Merger"). On July 15, 1997 the
Company filed, on a Form 8-K, restated audited financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, reflecting the effect of the CCB
Merger, which was accounted for by the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting. On October 24, 1997 the Company filed, on a Form 8-K, audited
supplemental consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, reflecting the effect of the SCB Merger, which was
accounted for by the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.
 
    The Company hereby files Unaudited Supplemental Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements as of September 30, 1997 and for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, reflecting the effect of the SCB
Merger. A restatement of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation after giving effect to the SCB Merger and the
Unaudited Supplemental Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of
September 30, 1997 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1997 and September 30, 1996 are set forth below.
 
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
  OPERATIONS
 
    The following tables and data set forth statistical information relating to
the Company and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997 and for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996. Such
tables and data reflect the combination of the Company and both CCB and SCB
which were acquired by the Company on June 4, 1997 and October 10, 1997,
respectively, each in a merger accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Supplemental
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 1997 and for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 and
related notes included elsewhere herein.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
    Since December 31, 1996, the Company's total assets have grown by
approximately $31 million, or 2.3%. From December 31, 1996 to September 30,
1997, due mostly to maturities, securities decreased by approximately $88.6
million. Due to improvements in the local economy and a recent deposit
promotion, deposits grew by approximately $22.4 million, or 1.9%. The cash
resulting from this decrease in securities and increase in deposits was invested
in federal funds sold, which increased by $61.5 million, and net loans, which
have grown by approximately $57.5 million, or 7.2%, from December 31, 1996 to
September 30, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    The acquisition of Western on September 30, 1996 was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and, as a result, Western's operations are
included in the results of 1997, but are not part of the results in 1996.
 
    The Company has experienced significant improvement in normalized earnings
(earnings before goodwill amortization, merger costs (after tax) and gains on
sales of loans and other assets (after tax) ("Normalized" earnings)) for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the same
periods in 1996, which was attributable primarily to the Western acquisition in
September 1996, the CCB acquisition in June 1997 and the SCB acquisition in
October 1997, as well as a focus on controlling costs and centralizing
operations.

    For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company,
on a consolidated basis, recorded net income of $4.1 million and $7.5 million,
respectively, versus net income of $1.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively,
for the same periods of 1996. While net income increased for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to fiscal 1996, net income before
goodwill amortization, after-tax merger costs and after-tax gains on sale of
loans and other assets increased significantly. Before (i) the amortization of
goodwill of $1.9 million in 1997 and $370 thousand in 1996, respectively, (ii)
after-tax merger costs of $3.0 million in 1997, and (iii) an after-tax gain on
sale of loans and other assets of $665 thousand in 1996 and $78 thousand in
1997, net income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
would have been $12.36 million and $5.30 million, respectively, or $1.14 and
$0.70 per share, respectively, a growth of approximately 42%.
 
    Without the amortization of goodwill of $635 thousand and $135 thousand in
the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively, and before an after-tax loss
on sale of loans and other assets of $2 thousand and $184 thousand, net income
for the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been
$4.72 million and $2.18 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively, or $0.44 and
$0.29 per share, respectively, a growth of approximately 51%.
 
    Operating profits for the Company and the Banks are dependent on loan and
lease growth, controlling costs and continual efforts to prevent any unexpected
loan and lease losses which would require additions to the Allowance for Loan
and Lease Losses ("ALLL"). Demand for quality loans has increased in the
Company's primary market areas, and the Company expects to take advantage of
this increased demand, while maintaining its credit quality standards. While
deposits have grown by approximately $22.4 million since December 31, 1996, as a
result of a $55.2 million increase in gross loans, the Company's loan-to-deposit
ratio has also increased from 69.7%, as of December 31, 1996, to 73.0%, as of
September 30, 1997.

  NET INTEREST INCOME
 
    Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and
interest paid on liabilities. Net interest margin is net interest income
expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The following
table provides information concerning average interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities and yields and rates thereon for the nine months
and three months ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively.
Nonaccrual loans are included in the average earning assets amounts.

</TABLE>
 
    The $6.7 million and $17.9 million increase in net interest income for the
comparative three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, is due primarily to increases in the volume of interest-earning
assets mostly due to the acquisition of Western. For the nine month periods, net
interest margin decreased from 6.45% to 5.95%, and the interest spread also
decreased from 5.37% to 4.75%. The decline in net interest margin is a result of
the decrease in spread as the yield on interest-earning assets declined more
than the cost on interest-bearing liabilities. Also, interest income for the
first nine months of 1996 included $544 of income for interest on loans returned
to accrual status, and interest collected on the sale of loans.
 
    The increase in interest income for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, to the same periods of 1997 from approximately $17.1 million
to $26.1 million and from $50.2 million to $74.8 million, respectively, was due
almost entirely to the increase in average earning assets. Average
interest-earning assets, for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996
and September 30, 1997, increased from approximately $753.6 million to $1,200.9
million, respectively, resulting mostly from the acquisition of Western. Average
interest-earning assets, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
September 30, 1997, increased from approximately $723.9 million to $1,185.3
million, respectively, resulting mostly from the acquisition of Western. For the
same three and nine month periods, the average yield on interest-earning assets
decreased from 9.07% in 1996 to 8.69% in 1997, and from 9.24% in 1996 to 8.42%
in 1997, respectively. The overall decrease in yield can be partially attributed
to the decrease in the average yield on loans, including the effect of the
interest rate swaps and the competitive pricing pressures experienced in the
Company's market area for commercial and real estate loans.
 
    Interest expense increased from approximately $5.2 million to $7.5 million
and from $15.1 million to $21.9 million for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1997, respectively. This increase is
mostly due to the volume increase in average interest-bearing liabilities as a
result of the acquisition of Western. The average cost of funds declined from
3.87% to 3.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the
same period in 1996. The average cost of funds declined from 3.92% to 3.72% for
the three month period ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in
1996. As of September 30, 1997, 35.9% of the Company's deposits are in
non-interest bearing accounts which is unchanged from December 31, 1996.

  PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
 
    During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, approximately $2,866,000 in
loans were charged to the Company's allowance for loan and lease losses
("ALLL"), and approximately $1,022,000 of loans were recovered. The ratio of the
ALLL to total loans and leases was 1.73% as of September 30, 1997, compared to
1.92% as of December 31, 1996. The decline in ratio was largely due to an
increase in loans as the ALLL declined moderately. During the same period,
credit quality measures improved. Due to continued decline in non-performing
assets and improved credit quality and overall loan portfolio, management
believes that ALLL is adequate based on all currently available information.

thousand and a gain on sale of loans and other assets of $78 thousand. If
adjusted for these non-recurring items, and without the non-interest income
contributed by Western, total non-interest income decreased by $333 thousand
from $6.3 million in 1996 to $6.0 million in 1997. Service charge income on

    Merger related costs include approximately $1.4 million of investment
banking fees, $923 thousand of other professional and filing fees, and $1.1
million of compensation related costs. The tax benefits for these costs are
approximately $395 thousand.
 
    Non-interest expense, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997, includes goodwill amortization in the amount of $635 thousand and $1.9
million, respectively. Also included in the nine months ended September 30, 1997
non-interest expense is non-recurring merger related cost of $3.4 million. If
adjusted for the above items, total non-interest expense increased by $1.9
million from $10.2 million to $12.1 million for the three months ending
September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996, which was due mostly to
expenses at Western, before goodwill amortization, of $2.6 million mitigated by
efficiency improvements.
 
    Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, increased
by $10.4 million. If adjusted for the amortization of goodwill and merger
related costs, the net increase was $5.5 million due mostly to expenses at
Western of $8.0 million (without goodwill amortization), offset partially by
efficiency improvements.
 
    The decrease in professional services from 1996 to 1997, for both the three
month and nine month periods, is due mostly to the reduction in legal expenses
associated with various litigation.
 
  CREDIT QUALITY AND ANALYSIS
 
    The Company defines non-performing assets to include (i) loans on which it
has ceased to accrue interest ("Nonaccrual Loans"), and (ii) foreclosed real
estate owned.
 
    Planned workout arrangements are currently in place for all non-performing
assets, and, unless there are any unexpected changes in the financial condition
of the borrowers, management is not aware of any additional significant loss
potential that has not already been included in the ALLL.
 
    The following table shows the historical trends in non-performing assets and
comparative key credit statistics at the Company (in thousands):

</TABLE>
 
    The Company has established a monitoring system for its loans in order to
identify impaired loans, potential problem loans and to permit periodic
evaluation of impairment and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in a
timely manner. The monitoring system and ALLL methodology have evolved
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
over a period of years and loan classifications have been incorporated into the
determination of the ALLL. This monitoring system and allowance methodology
include a loan-by-loan analysis for all classified loans as well as loss factors
for the balance of the portfolio that are based on migration analysis relative
to the unclassified portfolio. This analysis includes such factors as historical
loss experience, current portfolio delinquency and trends and other inherent
risk factors such as economic conditions, risk levels of particular loan
categories, internal loan review and oversight, and concentrations in the loan
and lease portfolio.
 
    On September 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $15.0 million of loans
which were considered to be impaired, which decreased from $21.0 million at
December 31, 1996. The Company had allocated reserves of approximately $0.4
million on these loans at September 30, 1997. Of these loans, $9.5 million are
on nonaccrual status.
 
  LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT
 
    On a stand-alone basis, the Company's sources of liquidity include dividends
from the Banks and outside borrowings. The amount of dividends that the Banks
can pay to the Company is restricted by regulatory guidelines.
 
    The primary functions of asset/liability management are to assure adequate
liquidity and maintain an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the
ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either
depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers who may need assurance that
sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Interest rate
sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating interest margins and to
enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing
interest rates.
 
    Historically, the overall liquidity of the Company is based on its core
deposit base. The Company has not relied on large denomination time deposits.
 
    To meet short-term liquidity needs, the Company has maintained adequate
balances in federal funds sold, certificates of deposits with other financial
institutions and investments securities having maturities of five years or less.
Liquid assets (cash, federal funds sold and securities available for sale) as a
percentage of total deposits are 35.3% and 37.3% as of September 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, respectively.

INCOME TAXES
 
    The Company's normal effective income tax rate is approximately 41.5%,
representing a blend of the statutory Federal income tax rate of 34.0% and the
California income tax rate of 10.84%. The Company's actual effective income tax
rates were 51.6%, 41.0%, 44.0% and 41.5% for the nine months ended
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
September 30, 1997 and 1996 and three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The actual effective tax rates were higher during the 1997 periods
largely as a result of nondeductible goodwill and certain merger costs.
 
ENHANCED DERIVATIVES DISCLOSURES
 
    The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved rule amendments to
clarify and expand existing disclosure requirements for derivative financial
instruments. The amendments require enhanced disclosure of accounting policies
for derivative financial instruments in the footnotes to the financial
statements. In addition, the amendments expand existing disclosure requirements
to include quantitative and qualitative information about market risk inherent
in market risk-sensitive instruments. The required quantitative and qualitative
information are to be disclosed outside the financial statements and related
notes thereto. The enhanced accounting policy disclosure requirements are
effective for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. As the Company believes that the
derivative financial instrument disclosures contained within the notes to the
financial statements of its current report on Form 8-K, filed October 24, 1997,
which included the supplemental consolidated financial statements of the Company
reflecting the effect of the SCB Merger with and into the Company on a
pooling-of-interests basis, substantially conform with the accounting policy
requirements of these amendments, no further interim period disclosure has been
provided. The rule amendments that require expanded disclosure of quantitative
and qualitative information about market risk are effective with the Company's
1997 Form 10-K.

             NOTES TO UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996
 
1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    On October 10, 1997, the Company completed the merger with SCB whereby the
Company issued approximately 3,555,500 shares (prior to reduction for fractional
shares) of Company Common Stock to the holders of SCB Common Stock and SCB
merged with and into the Company. The SCB Merger has been accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. These Unaudited Supplemental Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, Notes to Unaudited Supplemental Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations as of September 30, 1997 and for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 have been
restated as if the SCB Merger had occurred at the beginning of the periods
indicated.
 
    The Company is the holding company for the Banks. The Unaudited Supplemental
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the Banks
included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods indicated. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the Unaudited Supplemental Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for 1996 to conform to the 1997 presentation.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the
remainder of the year.
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts 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
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material
estimates subject to change include the allowance for loan and lease losses, the
carrying value of other real estate owned, and the deferred tax asset.
 
    These Unaudited Supplemental Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSBA, for
the year ended December 31, 1996, as amended, CCB's Annual Report filed on Form
10-K/A, for the year ended December 31, 1996, as amended, SCB's Annual Report
filed on Form 10-K/A, for the year ended December 31, 1996, as amended, the
Company's Current Report filed on Form 8-K on July 17, 1997 and the Company's
Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994 and the notes thereto filed on Form 8-K on October 24, 1997.
 
2.  COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS
 
    WESTERN BANK ACQUISITION.  On September 30, 1996, the Company acquired, for
cash, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Western, a state chartered
bank located in west Los Angeles. Western has five offices, including its head
office in Westwood. In connection with the acquisition, Western began operating
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of Western was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. As such, the results of
operations for Western were included in the Company's results of operations
beginning October 1, 1996.
 
    CALIFORNIA COMMERCIAL BANKSHARES ACQUISITION.  On December 18, 1997, the
Company reached an agreement to merge with CCB, a bank holding company operating
in Orange County, California. The

2.  COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
shareholders of the Company approved the acquisition on June 2, 1997, and the
transaction was closed on June 4, 1997. The Company issued approximately
3,043,200 shares of Company Common Stock to the CCB stockholders based upon an
exchange ratio of one (after the Company completed a reverse stock split of 8.5
to 1 just prior to this merger). Also on June 4, 1997, Monarch was merged into
NBSC. The acquisition of CCB was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests
method of accounting, and all financial information presented has been restated
for this combination.
 
    SC BANCORP ACQUISITION.  On April 29, 1997, the Company entered into an
agreement to merge with SCB, a bank holding company operating in Orange, San
Diego and Los Angeles counties in California. The shareholders of SCB and the
Company approved the SCB Merger on October 10, 1997, and the SCB Merger was
completed on that date. The exchange ratio was 0.4556 shares of the Company
Common Stock issued for each outstanding share of SCB Common Stock.
Approximately 3,555,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock (before adjustments
for fractional shares) were issued as part of the SCB Merger. Management
estimates charging to expense merger costs of $6.9 million (after tax)
representing severance costs, termination of interest rate swaps, and cost of
computer conversions. Such costs are not included in the accompanying unaudited
supplemental condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has also
submitted an application to the appropriate regulatory authorities to merge NBSC
into SC Bank.
 
    The acquisition of SCB was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests
method of accounting, and all financial information presented has been restated
for this combination.
 
3.  PENDING ACQUISITION OF SMB
 
    On July 30, 1997, the Company and SMB entered into a definitive agreement
for the merger of SMB with a subsidiary of the Company subject to approval by
the banking regulators and shareholders of both companies. Upon the SMB Merger
becoming effective, each share of common stock, $3.00 par value, of SMB (the
"SMB Common Stock") issued and outstanding at the time (other than (a) shares
that have not been voted in favor of the approval of the principal terms of the
Merger and with respect to which the dissenters' rights have been perfected in
accordance with the California General Corporation Law and (b) shares held
directly or indirectly by the Company other than shares held in a fiduciary
capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) will be converted
into the right to receive either (i) $28.00 in cash (the "Cash Consideration")
or (ii) 0.875 shares of Company Common Stock (the "Stock Consideration"). Each
holder of SMB Common Stock may elect to, and may, receive the Cash Consideration
and, if the number of holders of SMB Common Stock electing to receive the Cash
Consideration, is so great as to prevent a tax-free reorganization, all the
holders of SMB Common Stock shall receive the Cash Consideration. If the value
of shares of holders of SMB Common Stock electing to receive the Cash
Consideration is such as to permit a tax-free reorganization, the remaining
holders of SMB Common Stock shall receive the Stock Consideration subject to the
limitation that no more than 50% of the outstanding shares of SMB Common Stock
shall be converted into the right to receive Stock Consideration and that in the
event that holders of SMB Common Stock elect to receive Stock Consideration in
exchange for more than 50% of the outstanding shares of SMB Common Stock, the
holders of SMB Common Stock electing Stock Consideration shall receive both cash
and stock, subject to the option of the Company to increase the Stock
Consideration.
 
    The SMB Merger is expected to be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. At December 31, 1996, SMB had total assets, deposits, shareholders'
equity and number of shares of SMB
