FIRST REPUBLIC BANCORP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of First Republic Bancorp Inc. ("First
Republic") include its subsidiaries, First Republic Thrift & Loan ("First
Thrift"), and First Republic Savings Bank. First Republic and its subsidiaries
are collectively referred to as the "Company." All material intercompany
transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 1995 financial statements in order for
them to conform with the 1996 presentation.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders and Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto. Results for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 should not be considered indicative of results to be expected
for the full year.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1996, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 125 provides guidance for
distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are "sales" from transfers
that are "secured borrowings." This Statement, which supersedes or amends
numerous existing guidelines, is effective January 1, 1997 and is to be applied
prospectively. Earlier implementation of SFAS No. 125 is not permitted.
Under SFAS No. 125, a transfer of financial assets in which control is
surrendered over those assets is accounted for as a sale to the extent that
consideration other than beneficial interests in the transferred assets is
received in the exchange. Liabilities and derivatives incurred or obtained by
the transfer of financial assets are required to be measured at fair value, if
practicable. Also, any servicing assets and other retained interests in the
transferred assets must be measured by allocating the previous carrying value
between the asset sold and the interest retained, if any, based on their
relative fair values at the date of transfer. For each servicing contract in
existence before January 1, 1997, previously recognized servicing rights and
excess servicing receivables that do not exceed contractually specified
servicing are required to be combined, net of any previously recognized
servicing obligations under that contract, as a servicing asset or liability.
Previously recognized servicing receivables that exceed contractually specified
servicing fees are required to be reclassified as interest-only strips
receivable.
The Statement also requires an assessment of interest-only strips, loans, other
receivables or retained interests in securitizations. If these assets can be
contractually prepaid or otherwise settled such that the holder would not
recover substantially all of its recorded investment, the asset will be measured
like available-for-sale securities or trading securities, under SFAS No. 115.
This assessment is required for financial assets held on or acquired after
January 1, 1997.

<PAGE>
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)
In accordance with the above, the Company will apply the requirements of this
Statement beginning January 1, 1997. The Company has not historically entered
into transactions which meet the new definitions of transfers that are secured
borrowings. However, the Company has not completed the complex analysis required
to determine the future impact on its financial statements related to existing
financial assets and servicing contracts.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
- -------
First Republic is a financial services company operating in California and
Nevada as a thrift and loan holding company and as a mortgage banking company,
originating, holding or selling, and servicing mortgage loans. First Republic
owns and operates First Thrift, a California-chartered, FDIC-insured, thrift and
loan subsidiary, and First Republic Savings Bank, a Nevada-chartered,
FDIC-insured thrift and loan subsidiary (collectively, the "Thrifts"). First
Thrift and First Republic Savings Bank are members of the FDIC's Bank Insurance
Fund ("BIF"), not the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").
On October 31, 1996, the Company completed the merger of its two thrift and loan
subsidiaries, First Thrift and First Republic Savings Bank, in order to achieve
certain operational efficiencies. During the third quarter of 1996, the Company
obtained all regulatory approvals to merge First Thrift into First Republic
Savings Bank. Subsequent to the merger, First Republic Savings Bank will
be the surviving legal entity and will continue to operate in both Nevada and
California in substantially the same manner as each subsidiary has been
operating.
Additionally, the Company may in the future pursue a change in the legal charter
of First Republic Savings Bank from a thrift and loan charter to a commercial
bank charter. Such a charter change would allow the Company to provide
additional services, including traditional checking accounts, to its customers.
The Company is also considering merging the parent company into the merged
operating subsidiary, if such subsidiary is converted to a commercial bank.
These remaining potential corporate reorganizations are subject to regulatory
approval and the Company's review of various business considerations and federal
and state laws; the holding company merger is also subject to stockholder
approval. There can be no assurance that the foregoing contemplated
reorganizations will be accomplished.
The Company is primarily engaged in originating residential real estate secured
loans on single family residences. The Company's loan portfolio also contains
loans secured by commercial properties and multifamily properties. Currently,
the Company's strategy in California is to emphasize the origination of single
family loans and to limit the origination of multifamily and commercial real
estate mortgage loans. Lending activities in Las Vegas are primarily focused on
single family and multifamily
8
<PAGE>
GENERAL (Continued)
- -------------------
residential construction projects and permanent mortgage loans on income
properties. The Company emphasizes its real estate lending activities in San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Diego because of the proximity of its
loan offices and the experience of executive management with real estate in
these areas. In addition to the Company performing an underwriting analysis on
each borrower and obtaining independent property appraisals, an officer of the
Company generally visits each property or project prior to the closing of new
loans.
During the first nine months of 1996, the Company continued its focus on single
family lending, and the level of loan originations increased from the prior year
as a result of average interest rates being lower and improved secondary market
conditions allowing the amount of loans sold or originated for sale to investors
to be higher. Total loans of all types originated by the Company in 1995 were
$584.4 million, and loan sales were $99.2 million in 1995. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, the Company originated $648.8 million of loans and
loan sales were $130.4 million, as compared to loan originations of $433.1
million and loan sales of $77.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1995.
The Company either retains the loans it originates in its loan portfolio or
sells the loans to institutional investors in the secondary market. The Company
has retained the servicing rights for substantially all loans sold in the
secondary market, thereby generating ongoing servicing fees. The Company's
mortgage servicing portfolio consisted of $806.8 million in loans at September
30, 1996.
The following table presents certain performance ratios and share data

First Thrift's retail deposits and FHLB advances are the Company's principal
source of funds with loan principal repayments, sales of loans, the retail
deposits of First Republic Savings Bank, and the proceeds from debt and equity
financings as supplemental sources. The Company's deposit gathering activities
are conducted in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego County,
California and in Las Vegas, Nevada.
First Thrift is an approved voluntary member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
San Francisco (FHLB). First Thrift is currently approved for approximately 40%
of its total assets or approximately $802 million of FHLB advances at September
30, 1996. Such advances are collateralized by real estate mortgage loans and
$601.5 million has been advanced at September 30, 1996. First Republic Savings
Bank became a member of the FHLB on July 26, 1996 upon the purchase of $540,000
of FHLB stock, and has been approved for approximately 25% of its total assets
or approximately $25.1 million of FHLB advances at September 30, 1996.
Membership in the FHLB provides the Thrifts with an alternative funding source
for its loans.
First Thrift, whose deposits are insured by the FDIC BIF, operates four branches
in San Francisco, a branch in San Rafael in Marin County north of San Francisco,
a branch in Los Angeles, a branch in Beverly Hills, and three branches in San
Diego County. As of September 30, 1996, First Thrift had total assets of
$2,005,478,000, tangible shareholder's equity of $136,570,000 and total capital
(consisting of tangible shareholder's equity, subordinated capital notes and
reserves) of $163,638,000. At September 30, 1996, First Thrift's tangible
shareholder's equity as a percentage of total assets was 6.81% and its total
capital as a percentage of risk adjusted assets was 12.64%, compared to a risk
adjusted capital ratio requirement of 8.0%. Under FDIC regulations, First Thrift
calculates its Leverage Ratio at 6.88%, using Tier 1 capital (as defined under
the FDIC's risk-based capital definitions) and average total assets for the most
recent quarter.
First Republic Savings Bank, whose deposits are also insured by the FDIC BIF,
operates one branch in Las Vegas, Nevada and is scheduled to open a second
branch in the Las Vegas area during the fourth quarter of 1996. As of September
30, 1996, First Republic Savings Bank had total assets of $100,477,000, tangible
shareholder's equity of $8,958,000 and total capital (consisting of tangible
shareholder's equity and reserves) of $10,135,000. At September 30, 1996, First
Republic Savings Bank's tangible shareholder's equity as a percentage of total
assets was 8.92% and its total capital as a percentage of risk adjusted assets
was 13.63%, compared to a risk adjusted capital ratio requirement of 8.0%. Under
FDIC regulations, First Republic Savings Bank calculates its Leverage Ratio at
9.39%, using Tier 1 capital (as defined under the FDIC's risk-based capital
definitions) and average total assets for the most recent quarter.
LIQUIDITY
- ---------
Liquidity refers to the ability to maintain a cash flow adequate to fund
operations and to meet present and future obligations of the Company either
through the sale or maturity of existing assets or by the acquisition of funds
through liability management. The Company maintains a portion of its assets in a
10
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY (Continued)
- ---------------------
diversified portfolio of marketable investment securities, which includes U.S.
Government securities and mortgage backed securities. At September 30, 1996, the
investment securities portfolio of $157,675,000, plus cash and short term
investments of $24,436,000, amounted to $182,111,000, or 8.6% of total assets.
At September 30, 1996, 89% of the Company's investments mature within twelve
months or are adjustable rate in nature. At September 30, 1996, the Company
owned no investments of a trading nature.
Additional sources of liquidity at September 30, 1996 could be provided by
approximately $125,000,000 of borrowings collateralized by investment securities
and available unused FHLB advances of approximately $224,000,000. Management
believes that the sources of available liquidity are adequate to meet the
Company's reasonably foreseeable short-term and long-term demands.
ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
- ------------------------------
The Company seeks to manage its asset and liability portfolios to help reduce
any adverse impact on its net interest income caused by fluctuating interest
rates. To achieve this objective, the Company emphasizes the origination of
adjustable interest rate or short-term fixed rate loans and the matching of
adjustable rate asset repricings with short- and intermediate-term investment
certificates and adjustable rate borrowings. The Company's profitability may be
adversely affected by rapid changes in interest rates. Institutions with
long-term assets (both loans and investments) can experience a decrease in
profitability and in the value of such assets if the general level of interest
rates rises. While substantially all of the Company's assets are adjustable rate
mortgage loans and investments, at September 30, 1996 approximately 73% of these
assets which adjust within one year were assets based on an interest rate index
which generally lags increases and decreases in market rates (the 11th District
Cost of Funds Index or "COFI"). Additionally, the Company's loans contain
interim rate increase caps or limitations which can contribute to a further
lagging of rates earned on loans. At September 30, 1996, approximately 88% of
the Company's interest-earning assets and 79% of interest-bearing liabilities
will reprice within the next year and the Company's one-year cumulative GAP is
positive 13.2%. Despite the Company's positive repricing position, the Company's
net interest margin decreased in the first and second quarters of 1995 as a
result of the rapid rise in rates in 1994. The Company's net interest margin has
increased gradually from the second quarter of 1995 to the second quarter of
1996, as a result of lower and relatively more stable short term interest rates
and increases in adjustable rate loan yields compared to liability costs.
Important factors affecting the Company's net interest margin include
competition and conditions in the home loan market which affect loan yields, the
cost of the Company's FHLB advances, mortgage loan repricings being subject to
interim limitations on asset repricings, the Company's strategy to increase its
home loans which carry lower margins and the lagging nature of COFI.
The following table summarizes the differences between the Company's maturing or
rate adjusting assets and liabilities, or "GAP" position, at September 30, 1996.
Generally, an excess of maturing or rate adjusting assets over maturing or rate
adjusting 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 rate adjusting liabilities exceed maturing or rate adjusting
assets during a given period, a rising rate
11

- ------------------------------------------
environment will inhibit earnings and declining rates will serve to enhance
earnings. See "-Results of Operations" for a discussion of the change in the
Company's net interest spread for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1996. A portion of the Company's adjustable loans carry minimum interest
rates, or floors, which became the effective loan yield as rates declined from
the levels in prior periods and approximately $170,719,000 of such loans remain
at these minimum interest rates as of September 30, 1996. The following table
illustrates projected maturities or interest rate adjustments based upon the
contractual maturities or adjustment dates at September 30, 1996:

(1) Adjustable rate loans consist principally of real estate secured loans with
a maximum term of 30 years. Such loans are generally adjustable monthly,
semiannually, or annually based upon changes in the FHLB 11th District Cost

the Prime rate, subject generally to a maximum increase of 2% annually and
5% over the lifetime of the loan.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT (Continued)
- ------------------------------------------
In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, certain limitations
inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table must be
considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react differently to
changes in market interest rates. Additionally, the interest rates on certain
types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market
interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in
market rates. Further, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages and
mortgage related investments, have features which restrict changes in interest
rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. The Company
considers the anticipated effects of these various factors in implementing its
interest rate risk management activities, including the utilization of interest
rate caps.
The Company has entered into interest rate cap transactions in the aggregate
notional principal amount of $1,185,000,000 which terminate in periods ranging
from March 1997 through September 2000. Under the terms of these transactions,
which have been entered into with nine unrelated commercial or investment
banking institutions or their affiliates, the Company will be reimbursed
quarterly for increases in the three-month London Inter-Bank Offer Rate
("LIBOR") for any quarter during the term of the applicable transaction in which
such rate exceeds a rate ranging from 9.0% to 12.5% as established for the
applicable transaction. The interest rate cap transactions are intended to act
as hedges for the interest rate risk created by restrictions on the maximum
yield of certain variable rate loans and investment securities held by the
Company which may, therefore, at times be exposed to the effect of unrestricted
increases in the rates paid on the liabilities which fund these assets.
Additionally, at September 30, 1996 $37,400,000 of First Thrift's advances
with the FHLB contained interest caps of 12.0% as part of the borrowing
agreements. At September 30, 1996, First Thrift also owned $50,000,000 of
interest rate caps which carry a strike rate of 8% until maturity in
December 1996. The cost of interest rate cap transactions is amortized over
their lives and totaled $1,252,000 and $1,278,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Although these costs reduce current
earnings, the Company believes that the cost is justified by the protection
these interest rate cap transactions provide against significantly increased
interest rates. The effect of these interest rate cap transactions is not
factored into the determination of interest rate adjustments provided in the
table above.
At September 30, 1996, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps with the
FHLB in the notional principal amount of $25,000,000 to convert the fixed rate
on certain long-term FHLB advances to semi-annual adjustable liabilities. The
availability of long-term FHLB advances, with a weighted average maturity of
approximately 10 years at September 30, 1996, has reduced the Company's
dependence upon retail deposits, which generally have a shorter maturity than
the contractual life of mortgage loans. The Company will continue to consider
the alternative of FHLB advances as an integral part of its asset and liability
management program. The Company is exposed to market loss if the counterparties
to its interest rate cap and swap agreements fail to perform; however, the
Company does not anticipate such nonperformance.
Since 1990, the Company has utilized FHLB advances as a supplement to deposit
gathering to fund its assets. FHLB advances require no deposit insurance
premiums and operational overhead costs are less than for deposits. FHLB
advances must be collateralized by the pledging of mortgage loans which are
assets of First Thrift. At September 30, 1996, total FHLB advances outstanding
were $601,530,000. Of this amount, $503,330,000 had an original maturity of 10
years or more and $23,200,000 had an original maturity of two years subsequently
extended for a period of 8 years to 10 years. The longer term advances provide
the Company with an assured level of funding for its term real estate assets
with longer

lives.
Prior to the thrift merger, First Thrift had been subject to the provisions of
the California Industrial Loan Law, which limits the amount of customer deposit
balances which may be raised to twenty times its shareholder's equity.
At September 30, 1996, based on the amount of deposits outstanding, First
Thrift was required to maintain minimum shareholder's equity of approximately
$61,396,000, compared with actual shareholder's equity of $136,570,000.
First Republic Savings Bank is subject to the provisions of the Nevada
Thrift Companies Act, which requires that the amount of customer deposits
be in compliance with FDIC guidelines.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------
The Company continues to maintain a strong capital base. At September 30, 1996,
the Company's total capital, including total stockholders' equity, debentures
and reserves was $200,310,000. Total stockholders' equity at September 30, 1996
has increased by $9,810,000 since December 31, 1995. This increase results
primarily from the net income of $9,046,000 for the first nine months of 1996
and an increase of $299,000 in the market value of that portion of the Company's
portfolio of securities which are classified as available for sale.
First Republic is not a bank holding company, and unlike First Thrift prior to
its merger and First Republic Savings Bank, is not directly regulated
or supervised by the FDIC, nor is it regulated by the Federal Reserve
Board or any other bank regulatory agency. Thus, First Republic is not
subject to the risk-based capital or leverage requirements. If such
regulations applied, the Company calculates that at September 30, 1996
its leverage ratio would have been 5.63%, and its total risk based
capital ratio would have been 14.6%, as calculated by management assuming,
however, all of the Company's subordinated debentures constitute Tier 2
capital and are not limited to 50% of Tier 1 capital.
During the first quarter of 1995, the Company acquired 53,603 treasury shares
which completed the repurchase of 406,000 shares of common stock previously
approved for repurchase by the Board of Directors. In March 1995, the Company's
Board of Directors authorized for repurchase from time to time up to an
additional 250,000 shares of common stock. There were repurchases of an
aggregate additional 80,000 shares of common stock in March, April and November
1995, bringing total treasury shares repurchased to 486,000 at September 30,
1996.
During the first nine months of 1996, First Republic received from First Thrift
dividends of $2,824,000 representing approximately 25% of First Thrift's
earnings. First Republic also received interest payments of $790,000 from First
Thrift for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Also, First Republic has
received dividends of $250,000 from First Republic Savings Bank, related to that
subsidiary's earnings for the fourth quarter of 1995, the first quarter of 1996
and the second quarter of 1996; dividends of $116,000, or approximately 25% of
earnings for the third quarter of 1996, will be paid in November 1996. The
ability of First Republic to receive future dividends and other payments from
First Republic Savings Bank depends upon the operating results and capital
level of First Republic Savings Bank, restrictions upon such payments imposed
by creditors of First Republic Savings Bank, FDIC regulations and other
governmental regulations governing First Republic Savings Bank.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Quarter Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Quarter
- ------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------
Ended September 30, 1995
------------------------
The Company derives its income from three principal areas of business: (1) net
interest income which is the difference between the interest income the Company
receives on interest-earning portfolio loans and investments and the interest
expense it pays on interest-bearing liabilities such as customer deposits and
borrowings; (2) mortgage banking operations involving the origination and sale
of real estate secured loans; and (3) servicing fee income which results from
the ongoing servicing of such loans for investors and the servicing of other
loans pursuant to purchased servicing rights.
During the third quarter of 1996, First Republic's total assets grew to
$2,122,168,000 at September 30, 1996 from $2,064,209,000 at June 30, 1996,
primarily as a result of an increase in single family mortgage loans. The
Company's loan originations for the third quarter of 1996 were $229,106,000,
compared to $220,779,000 for the second quarter of 1996 and $154,567,000 for the
third quarter of 1995. The amounts of single family loans, construction loans
and commercial real estate originated in the third quarter of 1996 were
consistent with those originated in the second quarter of 1996, and there was a
$9.0 million increase in multifamily lending from the prior quarter. Single
family loans originated in the third quarter of 1996 were $175 million compared
to $108 million in the third quarter of 1995 and $413 million for all of 1995.
Mortgage banking activity resulted in the sale of $77,567,000 of single family
loans to secondary market investors during the third quarter of 1996, compared
with $41,979,000 in the third quarter of 1995. During the third quarter of 1996,
$68 million of single family loans were sold to two specific investors. The
Company's portfolio of real estate loans serviced for secondary market investors
increased to $806,778,000 at September 30, 1996 from $804,856,000 at December
31, 1995. The level of future loan originations, loan sales and loan repayments
is dependent in part on overall credit availability and the interest rate
environment, the recovery in the general economy and housing industry, and
conditions in the secondary loan sale markets.
The Company reported net income of $3,275,000 for the third quarter of 1996 as
compared to $1,321,000 in the same quarter of 1995. Fully diluted earnings per
share was $0.36 for the third quarter of 1996, compared to $0.17 for the similar
period in 1995. First Republic's pretax operating results for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 were higher than a year ago primarily because the Company's
net interest income for the third quarter was $2,816,000 higher in 1996 than
1995, and the provision for loan losses was $1,000,000 lower.
Total interest income increased to $40,423,000 for the third quarter of 1996
from $36,090,000 for the third quarter of 1995. Interest income on real estate
and other loans increased to $36,742,000 for the third quarter of 1996, compared
to $32,890,000 in 1995. The average yield on loans was 7.86% in the third
quarter of 1996 compared to 8.04% for the second quarter of 1996 and was 8.16%
for the third quarter of 1995. The Company's yield on loans is affected by
market rates, the level of adjustable rate loan indexes, the effect of new
single family loans earning lower initial rates of interest and the level of
nonaccrual loans. The Company's total loans receivable outstanding increased
from $1,834,407,000 at June 30, 1996 to $1,885,002,000 at September 30, 1996. As
a percentage of the
16

------------------------------------
Company's permanent loan portfolio, loans secured by single family residences
increased to 65% at September 30, 1996 from 59% at September 30, 1995.
Interest income on cash, short-term investments and investment securities
increased as a result of a higher average portfolio for the quarter earning a
slightly higher average rate. Such interest income was $3,681,000 in the third
quarter of 1996 compared to $3,200,000 in the same period of 1995. The average
investment position was $205,361,000 during the third quarter of 1996 and earned
7.30% compared to an average position of $188,242,000 earning 6.98% during the
third quarter of 1995. To the extent that the Company's investment portfolio
increases as a proportion of total assets, there could be an adverse effect on
the Company's net interest margin, since rates earned on investments tend to be
lower than rates earned on loans.
Total interest expense for the third quarter has increased to $28,726,000 in
1996 from $27,209,000 in 1995. Total interest expense consists of two components
- - interest expense on deposits and interest expense on FHLB advances, other
borrowings and debentures. Interest expense on deposits (comprised of passbook
and money market (MMA) accounts and certificates of deposit), increased to
$18,336,000 in the third quarter of 1996 from $16,424,000 in the third quarter
of 1995. The average rate paid on deposits was 5.67% for the third quarter of
1996, compared to 5.72% for the second quarter of 1996 and 6.05% for the third
quarter of 1995. Interest expense on other borrowings decreased to $10,390,000
in the third quarter of 1996 from $10,785,000 in the third quarter of 1995, as a
result of a lower average rate paid on a higher average level of FHLB advances.
The average rate paid on the Company's other borrowings and FHLB advances,
excluding longer term debentures, was 5.84% for the third quarter of 1996,
compared to 5.92% for the second quarter of 1996, and 6.64% for the third
quarter of 1995; thus the average rate paid on these liabilities, primarily FHLB
advances, decreased 8 basis points (.08%) from the second quarter of 1996 to the
third quarter of 1996 and 80 basis points (.80%) from the third quarter of 1995
to the third quarter of 1996.
The Company's net interest income was $11,697,000 for the third quarter of 1996,
compared to $8,881,000 for the third quarter of 1995, as a result of earning a
higher spread on a higher average balance of assets. The net interest margin,
calculated as net interest income divided by total average interest earning
assets, was 2.30% for the third quarter of 1996, compared to 2.04% for the third
quarter of 1995 and 1.97% for all of 1995. The Company's net interest margin
gradually increased each quarter from the second quarter of 1995 to 2.36% for
the second quarter of 1996.
From early 1994, through March 31, 1995, the cost of FHLB advances increased
more rapidly than the yield on the Company's loans and more rapidly than the
cost of the Company's deposits, due to rapidly rising short term interest rates.
The Company's advances have interest rates which generally adjust semiannually
and to a lesser extent annually, with repricing points spread throughout the
year. There are no interim caps on the amount that the interest rate on FHLB
advances may increase. Thus, at each repricing point, the cost of an FHLB
advance fully reflects market rates. Most of the Company's adjustable mortgage
loans have interim rate increase limitations. This adverse trend began a
reversal in the third quarter of 1995, as the weighted average cost of the
Company's FHLB advances decreased as a result of a general decline in market
rates. The Company experienced increased yields on its ARM loans, as a result of
loan repricings, and during the first six months of

------------------------------------
1996, net interest margin has increased as liability costs moderated due to more
stable interest rates. In the third quarter of 1996, the Company's net interest
margin declined 6 basis points below the prior quarter as a result of a lagging
COFI index and increased new single family loans added to the loan portfolio.
Non-interest income for the third quarter of 1996 increased to $1,470,000 from
$1,198,000 in the third quarter of 1995, primarily due to increased gains on
sale of loans. Service fee revenue, net of amortized costs on the Company's
mortgage servicing rights, was $516,000 for the third quarter of 1996 compared
to $646,000 for the same period of 1995, primarily due to a lower average
balance of mortgage servicing rights and higher amortization costs. The average
balance of the servicing portfolio decreased to $790,813,000 for the third
quarter of 1996 compared to $823,725,000 for the third quarter of 1995. Total
loans serviced were $806,778,000 at September 30, 1996 and $804,856,000 at
December 31, 1995. The percentage of servicing fees received depends upon the
terms of the loans as originated and conditions in the secondary market when
loans are sold. The Company receives servicing fees, on the outstanding loan
balances serviced, which averaged approximately 0.34% for the nine months of
1996 compared to 0.37% for all of 1995.
For the third quarter, loan and related fee income was $161,000 in 1996 and
$345,000 in 1995. This income category includes miscellaneous fees which vary
with market conditions, late charge income which generally varies with the size
of the loan and servicing portfolios and economic conditions, and prepayment
penalty income which generally varies with loan activity and market conditions.
The Company sells whole loans and loan participations in the secondary market
under several specific programs. The amount of loans sold is dependent upon
conditions in both the mortgage origination and secondary loan sales markets,
and the level of gains on loan sales will fluctuate. Loan sales were $77,567,000
for the third quarter of 1996 and $41,979,000 for the third quarter of 1995. The
Company computes a gain or loss on sale at the time of sale by comparing sales
proceeds with the carrying value of the loans and by calculating the fair value
of servicing rights retained. The gain on the sale of loans for 1996 includes
the value attributed to mortgage loan servicing rights under SFAS No. 122, which
was $743,000 for the third quarter of 1996. Most of the loans sold in the third
quarter of 1996 were adjustable rate mortgages based on the COFI index. The sale
of loans resulted in net gains of $709,000 for the third quarter of 1996,
compared to $9,000 for the same period of 1995.
The Company's mortgage banking activities have been focused on entering into
formal commitments and informal agreements with institutional investors to
originate on a direct flow basis single family mortgages which are priced and
underwritten to conform to previously agreed upon criteria prior to loan funding
and are delivered to the investor shortly after funding. Also, the Company has
historically identified, from time to time, secondary market sources which have
particular needs which can be filled primarily with adjustable rate single
family loans held in its portfolio.
Non-interest expense totaled $6,085,000 for the third quarter of 1996, compared
to $5,374,000 for the same period in 1995. In 1996, the Company reported higher
personnel costs related to higher loan volume and higher corporate
profitability, increased advertising and professional costs from operating a
large company and higher other operating costs, including the accrual for a
corporate

image and identity consulting project. The Company's non-interest expense for
the third quarter of 1996 included $91,000 related to results of operating REO
properties and losses on disposition or changes in value of REO properties, net
of gains on sold REO, compared to $720,000 of REO related expenses in the third
quarter of 1995.
As a percentage of total assets, recurring general and administrative expenses,
excluding REO related costs, was 1.14% for the second and third quarter of 1996,
compared to 1.02% for the third quarter of 1995, and 1.07% for all of 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Nine
- ------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------
Months Ended September 30, 1995
-------------------------------
The following comments are made regarding the results of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1995. The trend in income and expense items is generally consistent with the
comparison of the third quarter of 1996 with the same quarter of 1995, including
a decrease in the provision for losses and an increase in net interest income.
Total interest income and interest expense have increased on a year-to-date
basis, primarily as a result of an increased average balance sheet, as
presented in the following table. Net interest income has increased due to the
increased level of assets earning a higher interest rate spread, as the
rates paid on liabilities has decreased 0.33% while yields earned on loans has
increased 0.13%.
Non-interest income was $3,683,000 for the first nine months of 1996 as compared
to $3,253,000 for the same period in 1995. Gain on sale of loans was higher by
$993,000, offset in part by a decrease of $411,000 in net servicing fees.
Non-interest expense increased 11.6% from $16,104,000 in 1995 to $17,977,000 in
1996. A decrease in REO related costs to $977,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from $1,728,000 in the same period 1995 was offset by an
increase in general and administrative expenses. As a percentage of average
assets, noninterest expenses increased to 1.12% for the first nine months of
1996 from 1.08% for the first nine months of 1995.
The following table presents for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, the
distribution of consolidated average assets, liabilities, and stockholders'
equity as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income, average
interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, and the dollar amounts of
interest expense, average interest-bearing liabilities, and rates paid.
Nonaccrual loans are included in the calculation of the average balances of
loans and interest on nonaccrual loans is included only to the extent recognized
on a cash basis. The yield on short-term investments has been adjusted upward to
reflect the effects of certain income thereon which is exempt from federal
income tax, assuming an effective rate of 35%.

The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 1996 is generally comparable to
that at December 31, 1995. Total assets have increased $217,915,000 to
$2,122,168,000, while there was a net increase in the Company's loan portfolio
of $203,663,000, including an increase of $210,504,000 in single family
mortgages. Funds were raised primarily by retail deposits which increased
$177,009,000 and by an increase of $31,000,000 in FHLB advances. The Company's
reserve for possible losses was $18,265,000 at September 30, 1996, and there
were thirteen foreclosed real estate properties resulting in other real estate
owned with a net book value of $12,807,000.
ASSET QUALITY AND PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES
- -----------------------------------------------
The levels of the Company's provision for losses and reserve for losses are
related to the size and composition of the loan portfolio, general economic
conditions, and conditions affecting the real estate markets in which the
Company conducts lending activities. The following table sets forth by category
the total loan portfolio of the Company at the dates indicated. As indicated
below, the Company has increased primarily the dollar amount and proportion of
its loans secured by single family residences in 1995 and the first nine months
of 1996. All of the Company's net loan growth since December 31, 1994 is
represented by growth in single family home loans.

The Company places an asset on nonaccrual status when any installment of
principal or interest is 90 days or more past due (except for loans which are
judged by management to be well secured and in the process of collection,
generally applicable to single family loans), or earlier if management
determines the ultimate collection of all contractually due principal or
interest to be unlikely. Additionally, loans restructured to defer or waive
amounts due are placed on nonaccrual status and generally will continue in this
status until a satisfactory payment history is achieved (generally at least six
payments).

At September 30, 1996, the dollar amount of the Company's nonaccruing loans and
REO after chargeoffs was $43,436,000 compared to $42,879,000, at June 30, 1996
and $46,748,000 at December 31, 1995. The Northridge earthquake had a previous
adverse impact on 49% of the Company's nonaccruing assets at September 30, 1996,
or approximately $17,467,000 of loans and $3,623,000 of REO.
On January 17, 1994, the Northridge earthquake struck the Los Angeles area,
causing significant damage to the freeway system and real estate values
throughout the area. The Company's loans secured by low to moderate income
multifamily properties were primarily affected by this event, either by direct
property damage, loss of tenants, or economic difficulties resulting from lower
rental revenues and higher vacancies. Certain earthquake affected loans remain
on nonaccrual status because of uncertainty about their ultimate collectability,
even though the loans may have been paying for as much as twelve months. In
1994, 1995 and continuing into 1996, the Company has experienced increased
delinquencies, additional loan loss provisions and higher partial loan
chargeoffs as a result of this substantial natural disaster. Additionally,
certain loans in Northern California have been placed on nonaccrual status
because of changes in the borrower's condition, the property's status or the
loan's terms.

============ =========== ========== ============
</TABLE>
Additions to nonaccrual loans during the third quarter of 1996 were related to
five apartment loans ($3,029,000) in Los Angeles County which had been impacted
by the earthquake and one single family loan ($231,000). Also, there were three
apartment loans ($5,820,000) secured by properties in Northern California placed
on nonaccrual as a result of increased delinquency or deteriorating performance.
Deductions from nonaccrual loans during the third quarter of 1996 resulted from
chargeoffs to the Company's reserve for possible losses and foreclosures upon
properties. Also, cash proceeds of $637,000 received during the third quarter of
1996 were used to reduce the carrying basis of nonaccrual loans. Chargeoffs on
nonaccrual loans occur when the Company determines that the collateral value is
reduced to other than temporary levels. Chargeoffs recorded in the third quarter
of 1996 related both to loans which were on nonaccrual status at June 30, 1996
and to loans which were placed on nonaccrual status or transferred to REO during
the third quarter. While the future collateral value of these properties may
change, the Company recorded chargeoffs to reduce the carrying basis of its
nonaccrual loans to the estimated current collateral value, net of selling costs
(See "Impaired Loans").
As of September 30, 1996, the amounts reported for REO, nonaccruing loans, and
performing restructured loans have been reduced by previous chargeoffs of
$6,972,000, $8,058,000 and $328,000, respectively.
The Company's nonaccrual loans included $16,830,000 of loans on which interest
payments were received during the quarter at an average payment rate of 8.4% on
their recorded investment. As a result of the terms of these restructurings,
such loans will be reported as nonaccrual loans until a satisfactory payment
history is achieved and the Company believes its recorded investment in the
loans is secure.
As of September 30, 1996, $7,377,000 of modified loans are reported as
performing restructured loans. Additional loan modifications, including loan
restructurings, have been completed in 1996 and additional modifications may be
entered into with the Company's borrowers in future quarters.

<PAGE>
ASSET QUALITY AND PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES (Continued)
- -----------------------------------------------------------
During the third quarter of 1996, four loans totaling $4,225,000 were
transferred to REO. Six REO properties and one loan (prior to foreclosure) with
a remaining June 30, 1996 book value totaling $4,532,000 were sold and the
Company recovered proceeds in excess of the written down basis of these
properties by $1,093,000. At September 30, 1996, the Company held as REO
properties seven apartment buildings, two commercial real estate properties, two
single family homes, one partially completed single family construction project
and one parcel of land. The Company's policy is to attempt to resolve problem
assets reasonably quickly, including the aggressive pursuit of foreclosure or
other workout procedures. It has been the Company's general policy to sell such
problem assets when acquired as promptly as possible at prices available in the
prevailing market. For certain properties, including those acquired as a result
of the Northridge earthquake, the Company has made repairs and engaged
management companies to reach stabilized levels of occupancy prior to asset
disposition. At September 30, 1996, the Company is actively marketing or
preparing its REO properties for sale and expects to sell certain REO properties
and to foreclose upon additional loans in the fourth quarter of 1996.
At the time each loan is originated, the Company establishes a reserve for the
inherent risk of potential future losses, based on established criteria,
including the type of loan and loan-to-value or cash flow-to-debt service
ratios. Management believes that such policy enables the Company's reserves to
increase commensurate with growth in the size of the Company's loan portfolio.
The Company's reserve for possible losses is maintained at a level estimated by
management to be adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably
anticipated based upon specific conditions at the time as determined by
management, including past loss experience, the results of the Company's ongoing
loan grading process, the amount of past due and nonperforming loans,
observations of auditors, legal requirements, recommendations or requirements of
regulatory authorities, current and expected economic conditions and other
factors.
Since inception through September 30, 1996, the Company has experienced a
relatively low level of losses on its single family loans in each of its
geographic market areas. The Company's cumulative single family loan loss
experience is 0.06% on all loans originated. For the most recent eleven quarters
from January 1, 1994 to September 30, 1996, net chargeoffs on single family
loans as a percentage of average single family loans was 0.02%. As of September
30, 1996, the Company has not experienced any losses on its permanent loan
portfolio secured by real estate located in the Las Vegas market. Collectively,
the single family loan and Las Vegas permanent loan categories represented 74%
of the Company's total loans at September 30, 1996.
As a percentage of nonaccruing loans, the reserve for possible losses was 49% at
December 31, 1995 and 60% at September 30, 1996. Management's continuing
evaluation of the loan portfolio and assessment of economic conditions will
dictate future reserve levels. The adequacy of the Company's total reserves is
reviewed quarterly. Management closely monitors all past due and restructured
loans in assessing the adequacy of its total reserves. In addition, the Company
follows procedures for reviewing and grading all of the larger income property
loans in its portfolio on a periodic basis. Based predominately upon that
continuous review and grading process, the Company will determine appropriate
levels of total reserves in response to its assessment of the potential risk of
loss inherent in its loan portfolio. Management will provide additional reserves
when the results of its problem loan assessment methodology or overall reserve
adequacy test indicate additional reserves are required. The review of problem
loans is an ongoing process, during which management may determine that
additional chargeoffs are required or additional loans should be placed on
nonaccrual status.

- -----------------------------------------------------------
Although substantially all nonaccrual loans and loans that were adversely
affected by the earthquake have been reduced to their currently estimated
collateral fair value (net of selling costs) at September 30, 1996, there can be
no assurance that additional reserves or chargeoffs will not be required in the
event that the properties securing the Company's existing problem loans fail to
maintain their values or that new problem loans arise.
The following table provides certain information with respect to the Company's
reserve position and provisions for losses as well as chargeoff and recovery
activity for the periods indicated.

IMPAIRED LOANS

Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118 (collectively
referred to as SFAS No. 114). These statements address the accounting treatment
of certain impaired loans and amend SFAS No. 5 and SFAS No. 15. However, these
statements do not address the overall adequacy of the allowance for losses.
A loan within the scope of SFAS No. 114 is considered impaired when, based on
current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable
to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement, including scheduled interest payments. For a loan that has been
restructured subsequent to the January 1, 1995 adoption of SFAS No. 114 by the
Company, the relevant contractual terms refer to the contractual terms specified
by the original loan agreement, not the contractual terms specified by the
restructuring agreement. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 114, a
restructured loan may be excluded from the impairment assessment and may cease
to be reported as an impaired loan in the calendar years subsequent to the
restructuring if the loan is not impaired based on the modified terms.
For loans that are impaired within the meaning of SFAS No. 114, the Company
makes an assessment of impairment when and while such loans are on nonaccrual or
the loans have been restructured. The measurement of impairment may be based on
(I) the present value of the expected future cash flows of the impaired loan
discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, (ii) the observable
market price of the impaired loan, or (iii) the fair value of the collateral of
a collateral dependent loan. The Company's loans are primarily real estate
secured; therefore the Company primarily bases the measurement of impaired loans
on the fair value of the collateral, reduced by costs to sell.
If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in
the loan, impairment is recognized by creating or adjusting an existing
allocation of the allowance for losses. Cash receipts on impaired loans not
performing according to contractual terms are generally used to reduce the
carrying value of the loan unless the Company believes it will recover the
remaining principal balance of the loan.
In accordance with the disclosures guidelines of SFAS No. 114, the following
table shows the recorded investment in impaired loans and any related SFAS No.
114 allowance for losses at September 30, 1996. An impaired loan has a specific
amount of the Company's reserves (allowance for losses) assigned to it whenever
the collateral's fair value, net of selling costs, is less than the Company's
recorded investment in the loan, after amounts charged off to reserves are
deducted. Generally, impaired loans not requiring a special allowance under SFAS
No. 114 have already been written down or have a net collateral fair value which
exceeds the loan balance.

The $29,879,000 of loans reported as impaired loans not requiring a SFAS No. 114
allowance are classified in this manner because, as of September 30, 1996, the
recorded investments in these loans have been reduced to their collateral fair
value, net of selling costs, by $8,386,000 of specific chargeoffs to the
Company's reserves. At September 30, 1996, the Company has designated $57,000 of
its reserves to protect against contingent liabilities on certain of these
impaired loans, while the ultimate amount of payment, if any, is being
contested.
Total interest income recognized on loans designated as impaired for the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $266,000 and $878,000
respectively, all of which was recorded using the cash received method. The
average recorded investment in impaired loans during the third quarter of 1996
was approximately $37,000,000.

- ---------------------------------
(1) Due to the existence of convertible subordinated debentures, the
fully-diluted calculation includes the number of shares which would be
outstanding if all such debentures were converted and adjusts reported
net income for the effect of interest expense on the debentures, net of
taxes.
(2) For the first nine months of 1995, consideration of the conversion of
the Company's convertible subordinated debentures in the fully diluted
calculation would result in lower loss per share amounts than the
primary calculations (the convertible subordinated debentures are
antidilutive). Therefore, the primary loss per share is reported as the
fully diluted loss per share for this period.
