NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This quarterly report contains or incorporates by reference certain
forward-looking statements by the Company. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The accompanying financial information for Eldorado Bancshares, Inc.
("ELBI" or the "Company") has been prepared in accordance with the Securities
and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for quarterly reporting and
therefore does not necessarily include all information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accountign principles. The interim financial data is unaudited;
however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain reclassifications
have been made in the 1998 financial information to conform to the presentation
used in 1999. Results for the period ending June 30, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for
the year as a whole. The information contained in this report should be read in
conjunction with the Annual Report of ELBI on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and in particular the footnotes to the audited financial
statements included therewith.
On January 22, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of
Antelope Valley Bank. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued
to the shareholders of Antelope Valley Bank approximately 2.8 million shares
of common stock. The acquisition was treated for accounting purposes as a
pooling of interests. Accordingly, the financial information for prior
periods contained herein has been restated to reflect the combined entities
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In the normal course of its business, the Company encounters two
significant types of risk: economic and regulatory. Economic risk is
comprised of three components - interest rate risk, credit risk and market
risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its
interest-bearing liabilities mature and reprice at different speeds, or on a
different basis, than its interest-bearing assets. Credit risk is the risk of
default on the Company's loan portfolio that results from the borrower's
inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market
risk results from changes in the value of assets and liabilities which may
impact, favorably or unfavorably, the realizability of those assets and
liabilities.
The Company is subject to the regulations of various governmental
agencies. These regulations can and do change significantly from period to
period. The Company is also subject to periodic examinations by the
regulatory agencies, which may subject it to changes in asset valuations, in
amounts of required loss allowances and in operating restrictions resulting
from the regulators' judgments based on information available to them at the
time of their examination.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The number of common shares outstanding at June 30, 1999 was
14,391,227. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income less
dividends paid to preferred shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives
effect to all potential issuances of common stock that would have caused
basic earnings per share to be lower, as if the issuances had already
occurred.
At June 30, 1999, the Company had outstanding common stock purchase
warrants entitling the holders to purchase a total of 2,241,216 shares of
common stock and stock options entitling the holder to purchase a total of
530,823 shares of common stock. The Company's stock was listed on NASDAQ as
of February 1, 1999. The Company estimated an average trading price per share
of $10.00 in computing the dilutive impact of the outstanding warrants and
options for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999.
The weighted average number of common shares used to compute basic
earnings per share was 14,014,000 and 12,015,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The weighted average number of common shares
used to compute basic earnings per share was 13,020,000 and 12,015,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The significant
increase in the weighted average number of common shares for the quarter
compared to the six-month period reflects the impact of the increased shares
from the public offering in April of 1999. The weighted average number of
common shares used to compute diluted earnings per share was 14,333,000 and
12,334,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
weighted average number of common shares used to compute diluted earnings per
share was 13,339,000 and 12,334,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company has determined that its reportable segments are the
operations pertaining to mortgage banking ("Mortgage") and the operations
pertaining to commercial and consumer banking ("Commercial and Consumer").
Commercial and Consumer includes the operations of the Company's equipment
leasing division. The segment labeled "Other" primarily consists of the
Company's administrative function that is responsible for investment and
borrowing activities and other administrative services. The financial results
of the Company's operating segments are presented on an accrual basis. There
are no significant differences among the accounting policies of the segments
as compared to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company
evaluates the performance of its segments based on net interest income,
non-interest income, net income and total assets. Funds are allocated as
needed from Commercial Banking to Mortgage at a rate comparable to the
federal funds rate.

performance that have been calculated excluding the amortization of intangibles.
These measures are identified as "excluding goodwill amortization" and have been
provided to assist the reader in evaluating the core performance of the Company.
This presentation is not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
("GAAP"), but management believes it to be beneficial to gaining an
understanding of the Company's financial performance in comparison to its peer
group.
Prior to September 1995, the predecessor to the Company, SDN Bancorp,
Inc., owned a single bank, San Dieguito National Bank ("San Dieguito"), with
approximately $56 million in assets. At that time, San Dieguito was categorized
as "critically undercapitalized" by federal regulators. In September 1995, SDN
and San Dieguito were recapitalized by Dartmouth Capital Group, L.P. ("DCG"), a
bank holding company organized by Mr. Keller. Following the recapitalization,
Mr. Keller assumed control of the Company, installed new management and began
implementing policies to improve the Company's asset quality and operating
performance.
Since September 1995, Eldorado has acquired four banks in California
with combined assets of approximately $1.0 billion. The following table
summarizes certain data regarding those acquisitions, including the asset size
of the acquired bank as of the end of the quarter immediately preceding the
acquisition.

</TABLE>
Other than the Antelope transaction, each acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Effective
June 30, 1997, the Company consolidated into Eldorado Bank the respective
operations of San Dieguito, Liberty National Bank and Commerce Security Bank.
Antelope Valley Bank continues to operate as a separate banking subsidiary of
the Company.

<PAGE>
Through its two operating subsidiaries, Eldorado Bank and Antelope
Valley Bank (collectively referred to as the "Banks"), the Company offers a
broad range of commercial banking products and services to small and
medium-sized businesses and retail customers from 24 full service offices
located primarily in Southern California and the Sacramento area of Northern
California. Eldorado also operates eight loan production offices, four of which
are located in California and four of which are located in other western states.
In April 1999, in an underwriting managed by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods
Inc., the Company completed the public offering of an aggregate of 2,286,400
shares of Common Stock. The net proceeds to the Company were equal to $21.9
million. The company used a portion of these proceeds to redeem all of its
outstanding 11% Series B Preferred Stock which had an aggregate liquidation
value of $12.1 million, including a redemption premium of $351,000. In
addition, the company repaid indebtedness in the amount of $338,000 to one of
its principal shareholders, DCG. The remaining net proceeds of the offering
will be used for general purposes, including investment in the Banks, which
will enable the Banks to increase their interest-earning assets.
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
OVERVIEW
The Company generated net income of $1.5 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999. This represents a decrease of $628,000, or 28.99%, over net
income of $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in net
income resulted as the decrease in non-interest income and the increase in
non-interest expense were greater than the increase in net interest income and
the decrease in the provision for credit losses. The decrease in non-interest
income was primarily the result of lower gain on the sale of mortgage loans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income, the difference between the interest income
generated from interest-earning assets and the interest paid for
interest-bearing liabilities, continues to be the Company's primary source of
revenue. The Company's net interest income totaled $14.0 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. This represented an increase of $145,000, or 1.05%, from
net interest income of $13.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The
increase reflects a greater decrease in interest expense than the decrease in
interest income.
The net interest margin is equal to net interest income for the
quarter, annualized and then expressed as a percent of average earning assets.
The Company's net interest margin decreased to 5.21% for the quarter ended June
30, 1999, compared to a net interest margin of 5.73% for the quarter ended June
30, 1998. The decrease in the net interest margin was a result of a lower net
interest spread on a greater volume of average earning assets.
For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company generated total
interest income of $21.9 million, on average earning assets of $1.1 billion
resulting in an average yield of 8.16%. This compares to total interest income
of $22.3 million, on average earning assets of $970.3 million resulting in an
average yield of 9.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The $303,000, or
1.36%, decrease in total interest income was the result of a lower average yield
on earning assets. The lower average yield for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
was primarily the result of an increase in average investment securities to
23.52% of average earning assets for the most recent quarter, compared to an
average of 10.25% of average earning assets for the same three month period one
year ago. A decrease in the yield on loans and leases to 9.14% for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999, compared to a yield of 9.76% for the quarter ended June 30,
1999 also contributed to the decrease in interest income.
For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company's interest expense
totaled $7.9 million, on average interest bearing liabilities of $825.4 million,
for an average cost of 3.86%. This compares to total interest expense of $8.4
million, on average interest bearing liabilities of $763.2 million, for an
average cost of 4.41% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The $448,000, or
5.34%, decrease in interest expense was the result of a lower average cost of
interest bearing deposits. The cost of interest bearing deposits decreased to
3.57% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, compared to a cost of 4.13% for the
same period last year. The decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities
was the result of less reliance on time deposits and a lower average cost of
those deposits.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the
distribution of average assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity, as well
as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest-bearing
assets and the resultant yields, and the dollar amounts of interest expense
and resultant cost expressed in both dollars and rates. Nonaccrual loans are
included in the calculation of the average loans while nonaccrued interest
thereon is excluded from the computation of rates earned.

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The Company maintains an allowance for probable credit losses. A
provision for credit losses is charged to the Company's earnings sufficient to
maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level determined adequate for each
Bank. The provision for credit losses totaled $1.1 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999. This represents a decrease of $168,000, or 13.23%, from the
provision for loan and lease losses of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1998. For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the net amount charged to the
Company's allowance for loan and leases losses was $912,000. This represented a
decrease of $290,000, or 24.13%, from net loans and leases charged to the
reserves of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income totaled $6.6 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1999. This represents a decrease of $1.2 million, or 15.78%, from non-interest
income of $7.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in
non-interest income was primarily the result of a decrease in the gain on sale
of mortgage loans. The gain on the sale of mortgage loans decreased $1.2
million, or 28.83%, to $3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, from
$4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in the gain on
sale of loans primarily reflects a decrease in the volume of mortgage loans
sold. The decrease in the volume of mortgage loans sold primarily reflects a
lower volume of refinancing activity that resulted from an increase in interest
rates in the second quarter of 1999. Service charges on deposit accounts
decreased slightly for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same
period last year. SBA servicing fees decreased $106,000, or 16.46%, to $538,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The decrease is the result of faster
prepayments on loans serviced. Other non-interest income increased by $108,000,
or 8.23%, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The increase in
other non-interest income is attributable to gains recognized on the sale of
available-for-sale investment securities.
The following table presents for the periods indicated the major
categories of non-interest income:

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense totaled $16.3 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1999. This represents an increase of $150,000, or 0.93%, from total
non-interest expenses of $16.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
Salaries and employee benefits totaled $7.7 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1999. This represents an increase of $752,000, or 10.77%, from salaries and
employee benefits of $7.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The
increase primarily reflects increased staffing levels, most of which can be
attributed to the mortgage operation.
The Company's efficiency ratio, operating expenses less goodwill
divided by net revenue, was 74.24% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, compared
to a ratio of 69.53% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. A proportionately
greater increase in non-interest expenses, primarily expenses for salaries and
employee benefits, than the increase in net revenue, resulted in the increase in
the efficiency ratio for the second quarter of this year.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a provision
for income taxes of $1.6 million. This represents a decrease of $439,000, or
21.14% from a tax provision of $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
The Company's effective tax rate 51.57% is higher than the applicable statutory
rate 45.0%, primarily because the goodwill amortization is a charge to earnings
for financial statement purposes and is not deductible for federal income tax
purposes.
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
OVERVIEW
The Company generated net income of $2.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. This represents a decrease of $1.4 million, or 31.96%, from
net income of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease
in net income was the result of an increase in non-interest expenses and a
decrease in non-interest income and net interest income, partially offset by a
lower provision for loan losses. Contributing to the increase in non-interest
expense were the costs associated with the acquisition of Antelope Valley Bank
in the first quarter of this year. The decrease in non-interest income was
primarily the result of lower gain on the sale of mortgage loans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income, the difference between the interest income
generated from interest-earning assets and the interest paid for
interest-bearing liabilities, continues to be the Company's primary source of
revenue. The Company's net interest income totaled $27.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. This represented a decrease of $55,000, or 0.20%,
from net interest for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease reflects
a greater increase in interest expense than the increase in interest income.
The net interest margin is equal to net interest income for the six
months, annualized and then expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.
The Company's net interest margin decreased to 5.08% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to a net interest margin of 5.92% for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in the net interest margin was a result of a
lower net interest spread on a greater volume of average earning assets.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company generated total
interest income of $44.1 million, on average earning assets of $1.1 billion
resulting in an average yield of 8.16%. This compares to total interest income
of $43.2 million, on average earning assets of $939.0 million resulting in an
average yield of 9.28% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The $933,000, or
2.16%, increase in total interest income was the result of a lower yield on
average earning assets. The yield on average earning assets decreased to 8.16%
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to a yield on average earning
assets of 9.28% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in the
yield was the result of an increase in investment securities to 22.63% of
average earning assets for the most recent six month period, compared to 11.05%
of earning assets for the same six month period last year. The decrease in
earning assets was also affected by a slightly lower yield on average loans and
leases.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's interest expense
totaled $16.7 million, on average interest bearing liabilities of $842.5
million, for an average cost of 3.99%. This compares to total interest expense
of $15.7 million, on average interest bearing liabilities of $721.2 million, for
an average cost of 4.38% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in
the average interest bearing liabilities was the result of greater reliance on
title company related savings deposits for the most recent six months.

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The Company maintains an allowance for probable credit losses. A
provision for credit losses is charged to the Company's earnings sufficient to
maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level determined adequate for each
Bank. The provision for credit losses totaled $1.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. This represents a decrease of $580,000, or 23.56%, from the
provision for loan and lease losses of $2.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the net amount charged to
the Company's allowance for loan and leases losses was $1.7 million. This
represented a decrease of $2.3 million, or 58.15%, from net loans and leases
charged to the reserves of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income totaled $13.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999. This represents a decrease of $446,000, or 3.31%, from non-interest
income of $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in
non-interest income was primarily the result of a decrease in the gain on sale
of mortgage loans. The gain on the sale of mortgage loans decreased $613,000, or
9.14%, to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, from $6.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in the gain on sale of
loans primarily reflects a decrease in the volume of mortgage loans sold. The
decrease in the volume of mortgage loans sold primarily reflects a lower volume
of refinancing activity that resulted from an increase in interest rates in the
second quarter of 1999. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased slightly
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period last year.
SBA servicing fees decreased $132,000, or 10.43%, to $1.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease is the result of faster prepayments on
loans serviced. Other non-interest income increased by $363,000, or 16.74%, to
$2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in other
non-interest income is attributable to gains recognized on the sale of
available-for-sale investment securities.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense totaled $16.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. This represents an increase of $150,000, or 0.93%, from total
non-interest expenses of $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Salaries and employee benefits totaled $7.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. This represents an increase of $752,000, or 10.77%, from salaries
and employee benefits of $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
The increase primarily reflects increased staffing levels, most of which can be
attributed to the mortgage operation.
The Company's efficiency ratio, operating expenses less goodwill
divided by net revenue, was 74.87% for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to a ratio of 68.90% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. A
proportionately greater increase in non-interest expenses, primarily expenses
for salaries and employee benefits, than the increase in net revenue, resulted
in the increase in the efficiency ratio for the second quarter of this year.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a
provision for income taxes of $1.6 million. This represents a decrease of
$439,000, or 21.14% from a tax provision of $2.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. The Company's effective tax rate 53.14% is higher than the
applicable statutory rate 45.0%, primarily because the goodwill amortization is
a charge to earnings for financial statement purposes and is not deductible for
federal income tax purposes.

<PAGE>
FINANCIAL CONDITION
At June 30, 1999, the Company had total assets of $1.3 billion. This
represents a decrease of $49.0 million, or 3.51%, from total assets of $1.4
billion at December 31, 1998. The decrease in total assets primarily reflects
reductions in mortgage loans held for sale, federal funds sold, and non-earning
assets, partially offset by increases on investment securities, portfolio loans
and cash and due from banks.
LOANS AND LEASES
Net loans and leases totaled $760.0 million at June 30, 1999. This
represented a decrease of $121.8 million, or 13.81%, from net loans of $881.7
million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in net loans was the result of a
decrease in mortgage loans held for sale of $128.4 million, or 51.61%, to $120.4
million at June 30, 1999, from $248.8 million at December 31, 1998. Excluding
mortgage loans held for sale, total loans and leases increased to $659.8 million
at June 30, 1999. This represents an increase of $5.7 million, or 0.87%, over
portfolio loans of $654.1 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in mortgage
loans held for sale is the result of a lower volume of mortgage loans originated
which is a direct result of an increase in mortgage rates. There is a strong
correlation between interest rates and the volume of mortgage loans originated.
As rates rise, fewer mortgage loans are refinanced, resulting in a decrease in
demand for mortgage loans.
Excluding the mortgage loans held for sale, at June 30, 1999, the four
largest lending categories were: (i) commercial real estate loans, (ii) loans to
individuals, (iii) commercial loans and (iv) lease financings. The following
table sets forth the amount of loans and leases outstanding for the Company as
of the dates indicated, according to type of loan, including mortgage loans held
for sale. The Company has no foreign loans or energy- related loans.

For regulatory and financial reporting purposes, the Company
categorizes commercial loans that are secured in whole or in part by real estate
as commercial real estate loans. The Company believes such categorization
overstates the Company's emphasis on real estate lending, because, for example,
all SBA loans are secured by real estate and thus categorized as commercial real
estate loans. As of June 30, 1999 SBA loans totaled $89.4 million.
The following table shows the amounts of certain categories of loans
outstanding as of June 30, 1999, which, based on remaining scheduled repayments
of principal, were due in one year or less, more than one year through five
years, and more than five years. Demand or other loans having no stated
23

maturity and no stated schedule of repayments are reported as due in one year
or less. Residential mortgage loans held for sale are reported as due after

(1) Excludes residential mortgages held for sale.
The Company's current policy is to stop accruing interest on loans
which are past due as to principal or interest 90 days or more, except in
circumstances where the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection.
When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, previously accrued and unpaid interest is
generally reversed out of income.
For the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, additional gross
interest income of $252,000 and $317,000, respectively would have been recorded
on impaired loans, in each case had the loans been current. No accrued but
unpaid income on such loans was in fact included in the Company's net income as
of June 30, 1999 and 1998.
The Company's impaired loans pursuant to SFAS 114 as amended by SFAS
118 are loans that are nonaccrual and those that have been restructured. Loans
aggregating $10.3 million at June 30, 1999 were designated as impaired. The
Company's impaired loans are all collateral dependent, and as such, the method
used to measure the amount of impairment on these loans is to compare the loan
amount to the fair
24
<PAGE>
value of collateral. In calculating the allowance for loan and lease losses
that was required under the Company's internal guidelines, management
determined that a minimum of $1.2 million should be included in the allowance
at June 30, 1999 because of the risk to the loan and lease portfolio
represented by such impaired loans. At December 31, 1998, loans aggregating
$9.8 million were designated as impaired and management determined that a
minimum of $1.3 million should be included in the allowance because of the
risk to the loans and lease portfolio represented by such impaired loans.
Management is not aware of any loan that had not been placed on
nonaccrual status as of June 30, 1999 for which there was a serious doubt as to
the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms.
At June 30, 1999 the Company had OREO properties with an aggregate
carrying value of $340,000. This represents a decrease of $1.2 million, or
78.52%, from OREO of $1.6 million at December 31, 1998. During the six months
ended June 30, 1999, properties with a total carrying value of $1.3 million were
sold resulting in a gain of $314,000.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The allowance for loan and lease losses was $9.4 million at June 30,
1999. This represents an increase of $214,000, or 2.34%, from the allowance for
loan and leases losses of $9.2 at December 31, 1998. As a percentage of
portfolio loans, the allowance for loan and lease losses increased to 1.44% at
June 30, 1999, from a percentage of 1.40% at December 31, 1998.

In allocating the Company's allowance for probable loan and leases
losses, management has considered the credit risk in the various loan categories
in its portfolio. While the Company has made a reasonable effort to allocate the
allowance to specific categories of loans, management believes that any
allocation of the allowance for probable loan and lease losses into loan
categories lends an appearance of precision which does not exist, in that the
allowance for probable loan and lease losses is utilized as a single unallocated
allowance available for losses on all types of loans and leases, and actual
losses in loan categories may vary from the amounts allocated to such
categories.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities totaled $336.8 million at June 30, 1999. This
represents an increase of $86.3 million, or 34.47%, over total investment
securities of $250.5 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in investment
securities primarily reflects the reallocation of assets previously allocated to
loans held for sale. The investment portfolio primarily consists of bonds and
notes issued by the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies, state and
municipal securities agencies, and mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 1999
and 1998, all of the Company's investments were classified as
available-for-sale. The amortized costs and estimated market values of the
Company's investment securities at June 30, 1999 were as follows:

DEPOSITS
Total deposits were $1.1 billion at June 30, 1999. This represents a
decrease of $85.6 million, or 7.01%, from total deposits of $1.2 billion at
December 31, 1998. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in interest
bearing deposits. Interest bearing deposits totaled $821.7 million at June 30,
1999, representing a decrease of $85.8 million, or 9.46%. The decrease in
interest bearing deposits reflects a decrease in the Company's reliance on time
deposits and savings deposits pertaining to title companies. Non-interest
bearing deposits totaled $314.2 million at June 30, 1999. This represents an
increase of $264,000, or 0.08%, from total non-interest bearing deposits of

principally of common equity) to adjusted total assets ("Tier 1 Leverage Ratio")
of at least 3%, a ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4%
("Tier 1 Risk-Weighted Ratio"), and a ratio of total capital (which includes
Tier 1 capital plus certain forms of subordinated debt, a portion of the
allowance for loan and lease losses and preferred stock) to risk-weighted assets
("Total Risk-Weighted Ratio") of at least 8%. Risk-weighted assets are
calculated by multiplying the balance in each category of assets according to a
risk factor which ranges from zero for cash assets and certain government
obligations to 100% for some types of loans and adding the products together.
The Company and its subsidiary banks were well capitalized at June 30,
1999 for federal regulatory purposes. At June 30, 1999, the Company and
subsidiary banks had a leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk weighted ratio and total
risk-weighted capital ratio as follows:

</TABLE>
LIQUIDITY
The Company relies on deposits as its principal source of funds and,
therefore, must be in a position to service depositors' needs as they arise.
Management attempts to maintain a loan-to-deposit ratio of not greater than 80%
and a liquidity ratio (liquid assets, including cash and due from banks, Federal
funds sold and investment securities, to deposits) of approximately 20%. The
loan-to-deposit ratio was 67.73% at June 30, 1999. This represents a decrease
from a loan to deposit ratio of 72.94% at December 31,1998. The average
liquidity ratio was 34.06% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, compared to an
average liquidity ratio of 27.86% for the quarter ended December 31. 1998. While
fluctuations in the balances of a few large depositors cause temporary increases
and decreases in liquidity from time to time, the Company has not experienced
difficulty in dealing with such fluctuations from existing liquidity sources.
Should the level of liquid assets (primary liquidity) not meet the
liquidity needs of the Company, other available sources of liquid assets
(secondary liquidity), including the purchase of Federal funds, sale of
securities under agreements to repurchase, sale of loans, window borrowing from
the Federal Reserve
29
<PAGE>
Bank and, borrowings from the FHLB, could be utilized. The Company has relied
primarily upon the purchase of Federal funds and the sale of securities under
agreements to repurchase for secondary sources of liquidity. At June 30,
1999, the Company had $100.0 million of unused borrowing capacity under FHLB
advances. In order to borrow from the Federal Reserve, the Company would be
required to physically deliver to the Federal Reserve collateral consisting
of marketable Government securities. At June 30, 1999, the Company has no
such collateral at the Federal Reserve.
YEAR 2000 PREPAREDNESS
The Year 2000 issue is a computer programming concern that may affect
many electronic processing systems. Until relatively recently, in order to
minimize the length of data fields, most computer programs eliminated the first
two digits of the year. This problem could affect computers leaving them unable
to distinguish dates in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. For example,
date-sensitive calculations that treat "00" as the year 1900, rather than 2000.
Secondly, years that end in "00" are not leap years, except for an anomaly in
the year 2000. This anomaly could result in miscalculations when processing
critical date-sensitive information relating to periods after December 31, 1999.
The Year 2000 issue may adversely affect the Company's information
technology systems, such as its item and data processing applications. The Year
2000 issue also may affect so-called embedded technology, such as
microprocessors that control some of the Company's security systems and
telecommunication equipment.
By June 30, 1999, the Company had converted all computer software
applications that were determined not to be "Year 2000 compliant" to new
systems that are believed to be year 2000 compliant. In addition the Company
and its subsidiary banks believe they have identified all potential mission
critical software and hardware applications and have tested each to ensure
compliance with the year 2000 Based upon the Company's evaluation of its Year
2000 preparedness, management does not expect that the Year 2000 issue as it
relates to information systems and embedded technology that are within the
Company's direct control will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations. However, Year 2000
problems may turn out to exist in portions of computer programs not now
suspected, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not be
adversely affected by this problem.
Ultimately, the potential impact of the Year 2000 issue will depend not
only on the corrective measures the Company undertakes, but also on the way in
which the Year 2000 issue is addressed by governmental agencies, businesses and
other entities who provide data to, or receive data from the Bank or whose
financial condition or operational capability is important to the Company such
as significant suppliers or customers. Communications with significant customers
and vendors have been initiated to determine the extent of risk created by those
third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues; however, it is
not possible, at present, to determine the financial effect if a significant
customer's and/or vendor's remediation efforts are not completed in a timely
manner.
In addition, because the Company's day-to-day operations are heavily
dependent on its ability to communicate information throughout its network of
branches and loan production offices, the Company would be particularly
susceptible to any possible effects that the Year 2000 issue has on local and
national communications systems, including without limitation, telephone and
data lines, because of the difficulty in implementing viable contingency plans.
Any interruption or malfunction of such systems could have a material adverse
effect on the Company.
Furthermore, bank regulatory agencies, as part of their supervisory
function, have recently issued guidance under which they are assessing and will
assess Year 2000 readiness. The failure of a financial institution, such as the
Company, to take appropriate steps to address deficiencies in its Year 2000
project management process may result in one or more regulatory enforcement
actions which could have a material adverse effect on such institution. Such
actions may include the imposition of civil money penalties, or result in the
delay or denial of regulatory applications.
Finally, the public's anticipation of problems that may arise as a
result of the millenium could result in a need for increased liquidity in the
final weeks of this year. This need for additional liquidity may occur from
individual withdrawals in order to hold greater amounts of cash as personal
contingencies. In addition, real or perceived problems with the ability for
commercial accounts to obtain inventory sell
30
<PAGE>
products of services and collect trade receivables could result in a decrease
in commercial account balances or increase dependence on available lines of
credit. All of these factors would result in a need for greater liquidity
than the subsidiary banks normal need. To provide for this, the subsidiary
banks have purchased securities with maturities in the later part of the
fourth quarter. In addition, special lines of credit have been established
with the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank to provide contingent
sources of funds should the need arise. There is no precedent on which to
base the assumptions needed to determine the exact amount of liquidity the
subsidiary banks will need in the final weeks of this year. Management
believes that it has provided for the most reasonable estimate as to what
that need may be.
From January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the Company has incurred
$450,000 addressing Year 2000 issues. The Company estimates its total costs
through December 31, 1999 will be less than $500,000, and none of those costs
are expected to materially affect the Company's results of operations in any one
reporting period. In light of the complexity of the Year 2000 problem and its
potential effect on both the Company and third parties that interact with the
Company, however, there can be no assurance that the Company's costs associated
with the Year 2000 issue will be as estimated. The Company does not intend to
obtain insurance against any Year 2000 risks.

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
In Management's opinion there has not been a material change in the
Company's market risk profile during the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Market
risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes
in market prices and rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices
and equity prices. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate
risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. To that end,
management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. The
Company does not have any market risk sensitive instruments acquired for trading
purposes. The Company manages its interest rate sensitivity by matching the
repricing opportunities on its earning assets to those on its funding
liabilities. Management uses various asset/liability strategies to manage the
repricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities to ensure that exposure
to interest rate fluctuations is limited within Company guidelines of acceptable
levels of risk-taking. Hedging strategies, including the terms and pricing of
loans and deposits, and managing the deployment of its securities are used to
reduce mismatches in interest rate repricing opportunities of portfolio assets
and their funding sources.
When appropriate, management may utilize off balance sheet instruments
such as interest rate floors, caps and swaps to hedge its interest rate
position. A Board of Directors approved hedging policy statement governs use of
these instruments. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had not utilized any
interest rate swap or other such financial derivative to alter its interest rate
risk profile.
One way to measure the impact that future changes in interest rates
will have on net interest income is through a cumulative gap measure. The gap
represents the net position of assets and liabilities subject to repricing in
specified time periods. Generally, a liability sensitive gap position indicates
that there would be a net positive impact on the net interest margin of the
Company for the period measured in a declining interest rate environment since
the Company's liabilities would reprice to lower market rates before its assets
would. A net negative impact would result from an increasing interest rate
environment. Conversely, an asset sensitive gap indicates that there would be a
net positive impact on the net interest margin in a rising interest rate
environment since the Company's assets would reprice to higher market interest
rates before its liabilities would, while a net negative impact would result
from a declining rate environment.
The following table sets forth the distribution of repricing
opportunities of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, the interest rate sensitivity gap (i.e., interest rate sensitive
assets less interest rate sensitive liabilities), cumulative interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the cumulative interest rate
sensitivity gap, the ratio of cumulative interest-earning assets to cumulative
interest-bearing liabilities and the cumulative gap as a percentage of total
assets and total interest-earning assets as of June 30, 1999. The table also
sets forth the time periods during which interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities will mature or may reprice in accordance with their
contractual terms. The interest rate relationships between the repriceable
assets and repriceable liabilities are not necessarily constant and may be
affected by many factors, including the behavior of customers in response to
changes in interest rates. This table should, therefore, be used only as a guide
as to the possible effect changes in interest rates might have on the net
margins of the Company.

<PAGE>
At June 30, 1999, the Company had $544.1 million of assets and $818.5
million of liabilities repricing within one year. Therefore, $274.4 million more
in interest rate sensitive liabilities than interest rate sensitive assets will
change to the then current rate (changes occur due to the instruments being at a
variable rate or because the maturity of the instrument requires its replacement
at the then current rate). If rates were to fall during this period, interest
expense would decline by a greater amount than interest income and net income
would increase. Conversely, if rates were to rise, the reverse would apply, and
the Company's net income would decrease.
Since interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and
liabilities equally or simultaneously, a cumulative gap analysis alone cannot be
used to evaluate the Company's interest rate sensitivity position. To supplement
traditional gap analysis, the Company performs simulation modeling to estimate
the potential effects of changing interest rates. The process allows the Company
to explore the complex relationships within the gap over time and various
interest rate environments. Based upon the Company's interest rate shock
simulations, net interest income is expected to decrease approximately 1.5% with
a 200 basis point instantaneous increase to interest rates and increase
approximately 1.3% with a 200 basis point instantaneous decrease in rates.
Management has a target of minimizing the decline in net interest income to no
more than 4.0% given a 200 basis point instantaneous decrease in rates
The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and
should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results.
These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, including the
nature and timing of interest rate levels including the shape of the yield curve
prepayments on loans and securities, changes in deposit levels, pricing
decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and
liability cashflows and others. While assumptions are developed based upon
current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any
assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how
customer preferences or competitor influences might change.
Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity
analysis, actual results will also differ because of prepayment and refinancing
levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate
change caps or floors on adjustable rate loans, depositor withdrawals and
product preference changes, and other internal and external variables.
Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that management
might take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates.
Management has taken several steps to reduce the asset sensitivity
of the Company by lengthening the maturities in its investment portfolio and
originating more fixed-rate assets that mature or reprice in balance with its
interest bearing liabilities. Management will continue to maintain a balance
between its interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in order
to minimize the impact on net interest income due to changes in market rates.

PART II - OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Eldorado Bank was a defendant in an action initiated in 1994 by several
employees who alleged, among other things, that a subsidiary of the Company
wrongfully terminated their employment in connection with its 1994 closure of
the Stockton, California office. Their complaint alleged, among other things,
that Eldorado Bank terminated their employment as a result of their having
reported violations of consumer lending laws committed by another employee of
the Stockton office and sought compensatory and punitive damages. Eldorado Bank
settled such claim with the plaintiffs in January 1999 without admitting any
liability.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Effective April 12, 1999, the Company amended its Certificate of
Incorporation to eliminate the Series B Preferred Stock, the Voting Special
Common Stock and the Non-Voting Special Common Stock and to redesignate the
Class B Common Stock as "Common Stock" and the Class C Common Stock as the
"Non-Voting Common Stock." On April 12, 1999 and April 29, 1999, the Company
issued 59,579 and 8,858 shares of Common Stock, respectively, to Robert P.
Keller, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to the
terms of Mr. Keller's employment agreement with the Company. The Company's
issuance of those shares was exempt from registration under the Securities
Act by virtue of Regulation D thereunder and/or Section 4(2) thereof.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On April 12, 1999, in an underwritten offering managed by Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods Inc., a total of 1,909,900 shares of Common Stock, including
259,900 shares sold by selling shareholders, were sold to the public at a price
of $10.00 per share. The price received by the Company and the selling
shareholders net of the underwriting discount was $9.30 per share. Concurrently
with the underwritten offering, the Company sold 350,000 shares of Common Stock
to several of its directors and principal shareholders at a price of $9.30 per
share. On April 30, 1999, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. exercised its over
allotment option to purchase 286,400 shares at the public offering price of $10
per share less the underwriting discount.
