                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Unaudited)
                             September 30, 1998


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION    

     The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by 
Pacific Crest Capital, Inc., without audit, pursuant to the rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Pacific Crest 
Capital, Inc. together with its subsidiaries is referred to as the "Company". 
Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and 
regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are 
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial 
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated 
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest 
Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including 
normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial 
position of the Company with respect to the interim financial statements, and 
the results of its operations for the interim period ended September 30, 
1998, have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior 
year amounts to conform to the 1998 presentation. The results of operations 
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full 
year.
    
NOTE 2.  INCOME TAXES   

     For the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company 
estimated its provision for income taxes at $792,000 or 38.6% and $637,000 or 
39.9%, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, 
the Company's provision for income taxes was $2.5 million or 40.2% and $1.8 
million or 39.9%, respectively. The difference between the Company's 
statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate, for the quarter and nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, was due to California tax 
deductions (credits) generated by the Company on loans made in special tax 
zones within California.

NOTE 3.  COMPUTATION OF BOOK VALUE AND EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE     

      Book value per common share was calculated by dividing total 
shareholders' equity by the number of common shares outstanding, less 
treasury shares, at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997. The number of 
common shares used in this calculation was 2,984,951 less 255,500 of treasury 
shares at September 30, 1998, and 2,971,946, less 85,000 treasury shares at 
December 31, 1997.

     Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the quarter and nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, were determined by dividing net 
income by the weighted average common shares outstanding. For the diluted 
earnings per share computation, the common shares outstanding were adjusted 
to reflect the number of common stock equivalents outstanding based on the 
number of outstanding stock options issued by the Company utilizing the 
treasury stock method. See table below for the diluted earnings per share 
computations:

NOTE 4.  CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION

     As an incident to normal operations, the Company is, from time to time, 
named as a defendant in lawsuits, some of which seek monetary damages. 
Management, after review, including consultation with counsel, believes that 
any ultimate liability, if any, which could arise from these lawsuits and 
claims would not materially affect the consolidated financial position, 
results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

NOTE 7.  DIVIDENDS 

     As a Delaware corporation, Pacific Crest Capital, Inc., (the Parent), 
may pay common dividends out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, from net 
profits for the current and preceding fiscal year. The Parent has 
approximately $7.7 million in cash plus investments, less current liabilities 
and short-term debt at September 30, 1998. These funds are also available to 
pay future operating expenses of the Parent, interest expense on the $17.25 
million in subordinated debentures, and possibly future

                                       6

capital infusion into Pacific Crest Bank. Without dividends from Pacific 
Crest Bank, the Parent must rely solely on existing cash, investments and 
borrowings.

     Pacific Crest Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Parent is 
restricted by California state law, which requires that retained earnings are 
available to pay the dividend. At September 30, 1998, Pacific Crest Bank had 
unrestricted retained earnings of $7.8 million available for dividend 
payments.

     On October 29, 1998, the Company announced that the Board of Directors 
had declared a $.05 per common share cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 
1998. The dividend will be paid to shareholders of record at the close of 
business November 19, 1998 and is payable on December 3, 1998.

NOTE 9.  INTEREST RATE CAP

     On June 8, 1998, the Company executed a five-year interest rate cap 
agreement for a notional amount of $100 million.  Under the cap agreement, 
the Company earns income when the 90-day London Interbank Offered Rate 
(LIBOR) exceeds 6.70%. LIBOR closed at 5.31% on September 30, 1998.  The cost 
of the cap was $925,000 which will be amortized over five years. The interest 
rate cap was purchased as a hedge instrument for the Company's deposit 
liabilities which reprice in one year or less.  It was designed to hedge the 
risk that interest rates may rise, which would produce an increase in the 
rates paid on these deposit liabilities, resulting in an increase in interest 
expense and a reduction in net interest margin.  The interest rate cap 
mitigates this risk somewhat since it earns income for the Company if 
interest rates rise beyond a certain level.  The interest rate cap does not 
expose the Company to any additional risk beyond the initial investment of 
$925,000.

NOTE 10. SECONDARY MARKET LOAN SALES

     The Company has recently instituted a commercial real estate loan 
program designed to produce loan product for both the Company's portfolio and 
for potential sale in the secondary market.  The loans originated are fixed 
rate loans with interest rates fixed for ten years based on a margin over the 
ten-year U.S. Treasury Bond.  In June of 1998, the Company sold a pool of 
seven loans, along with their servicing rights, with a principal balance 
aggregating $7.5 million.  The loans were sold at a premium ranging between 
3.1% and 6.1%, depending upon the characteristics of each loan.  The total 
premium received on this pool of loans was $306,000.  Although this program 
has been designed in part to produce recurring gain income for the Company, 
there can be no assurance that future sales will occur to produce future gain 
income.  Actual future sales of these types of loans will be based on a 
variety of factors, including the total amount of net loan growth, secondary 
market demand for such loans, and the level of interest rate risk in the 
Company's financial structure.

NOTE 11. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (SBA) LOAN PROGRAM

     During 1997, the Company initiated a Small Business Administration (SBA) 
loan program.  The loans originated through this program are intended in part 
for retention in the portfolio and in part to generate fee income through SBA 
loan sales, and the related "gains on sale." In April of 1998 and September 
of 1998, the Company sold the SBA guaranteed portion of three SBA loans, and 
four SBA Loans, respectively, at a premium range of 5.75% to 10%.  These 
loans were sold, with the servicing rights retained, at a total premium of  
$137,000, and $50,000, respectively.  The Company calculated the servicing 
asset and interest only (I/O) strip related to the sale transactions, in 
accordance with SFAS No. 125 and other authoritative literature.  The Company 
calculated these values using assumptions resulting in values for the 
servicing asset and I/O strip that were not material to the financial 
statements as a whole. Although this program has been designed to produce 
recurring gain income for the Company on a quarterly basis,  there can be no 
assurance that future sales will occur to produce future gain income.  As of 
September 30, 1998, the Company had 17 loans in this category with a combined 
principal balance of $6.4 million, and with the SBA guaranteed portion 
aggregating $4.2 million.

NOTE 12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for 
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133").  SFAS 133 
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and 
for hedging activities.  It requires the Bank to recognize all derivatives as 
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and 
measure those instruments at fair value.  SFAS 133 allows derivatives to be 
designated as hedges only if certain criteria are met with the resulting gain 
or loss on the derivative either charged to income or reported as a part of 
other comprehensive income if criteria are met.  SFAS 133 is effective for 
all fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 1999.  The Company does not 
believe that adoption of SFAS 133 will have a material impact on its 
operations and financial position.

     In October 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for 
Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage 
Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." SFAS No. 134 amends 
SFAS No. 65,

                                       7

<PAGE>

"Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," which 
establishes accounting and reporting standards for certain activities of 
mortgage banking enterprises and other enterprises that conduct operations 
that are substantially similar. SFAS No. 134 requires that after the 
securitization of mortgage loans held for sale, the resulting mortgage-backed 
securities and other retained interests should be classified in accordance 
with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
Securities," based on the company's intent to sell or hold the investment. 
SFAS No. 134 is effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after 
December 15, 1998. The Company does not believe that adoption of SFAS 134 
will have a material impact on its operations and financial position.

(1) Calculated net of deferred loan fees.
(2) Net interest rate spread represents the average yield earned on
    interest-earning assets, less the average rate paid on interest-
    bearing liabilities.
(3) Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by
    total average earning assets.

ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN NET INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

    The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest 
income and interest expense of major components of interest-earning assets 
and interest-bearing liabilities due to changes in outstanding balances and 
changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and 
interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable 
to: (i) changes on volume (i.e. changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and 
(ii) changes in rate (i.e. changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For 
purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which 
cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to changes due to 
volume and changes due to rate.

DETAILED COMPARISONS OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

    Net income was $1.3 million (or $0.43 per common share on a diluted 
basis) for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, compared to $959,000 (or 
$0.31 per common share on a diluted basis) for the corresponding period in 
1997.  Net income was $3.7 million (or $1.21 per common share on a diluted 
basis) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $2.7 million 
(or $0.88 per common share on a diluted basis) for the corresponding period 
in 1997.  The improvements in 1998 over the comparable periods in 1997 are 
primarily attributable to increases in the Company's net interest income, and 
non-interest income, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense.

NET INTEREST INCOME

    Net interest income increased by $135,000 or 3.4% to $4.1 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.  Net
interest income increased by $1.0 million or 8.9% to $12.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period of 1997.  The
increase in net interest income during the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 was primarily the result of an increase of $168.9 million and
$162.8 million, respectively, in the Company's average balance of interest
earning assets between the 1998 and 1997 periods.

    The Company's net interest rate spread and net interest margin, both
declined during the 1998 and 1997 periods.  These declines were anticipated by
the Company, as the Company implemented a strategic repositioning of its balance
sheet. The Company, in order to more effectively leverage its capital, increased
its holdings of investment securities over the last several quarters.  The
increase in investment securities, while improving both total interest income
and net interest income, resulted in the decline in the net interest margin and
net interest rate spread.

    The net interest margin is defined as the difference between interest 
income and interest expense divided by the average interest-earning assets. 
The net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, 
was 2.99% and 4.19%, respectively.   The net interest margin for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was 3.29% and 4.44%, respectively.  
The decline in the margin is primarily the result of the change in the 
composition of the balance sheet. Loans, the highest yielding asset, have 
decreased as a percentage of average interest-earning assets while the 
Company's holdings in the lower yielding investment securities have increased 
as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Additionally, the Company 
has financed a portion of these security purchases with borrowings, including 
the issuance of the trust preferred securities, which on average, have a 
significantly higher interest rate than deposits.

    The net interest rate spread is defined as the yield on interest-earning
assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest
rate spread for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was 2.71% and
3.84%, respectively.  The net interest rate spread for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 was 3.01% and 4.11%, respectively.  The decline in the spread
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 from the same periods
in 1997, is the result of an increase of 13 basis points and 21 basis points,
respectively, on the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, in addition to
a decrease of 100 basis points and 89 basis points, respectively, on the yields
earned on interest-earning assets.

    The following table sets forth the composition of average interest-earning
assets and average interest-bearing liabilities by category, and by the
percentage of each category to the total, for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 and 1997, including the change in average balance and yield/rate
between these respective periods:

</TABLE>


TOTAL INTEREST INCOME

    Total interest income increased by $2.6 million, or 29.8% to $11.5 
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period 
of 1997. Total interest income increased by $8.3 million, or 33.6%, to $33.0 
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same 
period in 1997. These increases were primarily due to increases in the 
average balance of interest earning assets for the quarter and nine months 
ending September 30, 1998 of $168.9 million and $162.8 million, respectively, 
over the comparable periods in 1997. Average interest-earning assets have 
increased due to the purchase of investment securities over the last several 
quarters, and to a lesser extent, the growth in the loan portfolio. Partially 
offsetting these increases, the overall yields on the Company's 
interest-earning assets have decreased by 100 basis points and 89 basis 
points, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 
1998, from the comparable periods in 1997. These declines were primarily due 
to the change in the composition of interest-earning assets detailed above.

    Although the average yields earned on loans (computed on pages 
10 and 11) are shown to have decreased by three basis points and increased by 
one basis point, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended 
September 30 1998, the actual yields have declined by a slightly wider 
margin.  The average yields earned on loans (computed on pages 10 
and 11) have shown only a slight decline for the quarter and an increase for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1998, due to an increase in deferred loan 
fees credited to income during 1998, which has occurred due to both the 
increases in loan payoffs and loan sales in the current year.  In accordance 
with SFAS No. 91, net loan fees are deferred and amortized over the life of 
the loan, as an adjustment to the yield of the loan. When a loan prepays or 
is sold prior to maturity, the remaining deferred fee is immediately 
recognized as an adjustment to the yield of the loan.  In 1998, this has 
resulted in an increase to the average yields earned on loans.  If the 
prepayments and sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 
1998 had been consistent with 1997, the average yields for 1998 would have 
been slightly lower than shown above, and slightly lower than 1997.  The 
primary reason for this decline is due to seasoned, higher yielding loans 
paying off, and being replaced with newly originated lower yielding loans.  
This reflects the increased competitive rate pressure in the marketplace.

    The substantial increase in the average balances of the Company's 
investment securities for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 
1998, reflects the Company's effort to optimize earnings by more effectively 
leveraging capital with the purchase of these securities.

TOTAL INTEREST EXPENSE

    Total interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased 
by $2.5 million, or 51.0%, to $7.4 million compared to the same period in 
1997. Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 
increased by $7.3 million, or 54.9%, to $20.5 million compared to the same 
period in 1997. These increases in interest expense resulted primarily from 
increases in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities for the 
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 of $166.5 million and $158.6 
million, respectively, over the comparable periods in 1997.  Average 
interest-bearing liabilities continue to rise to fund the growth of the 
Company. The growth has primarily been in term borrowings, trust preferred 
securities, and certificates of deposit, but also includes growth in savings 
accounts. Contributing to the increases in interest expense, were increases 
in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities during 1998. The rates paid 
on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities increased by 13 basis points 
and 21 basis points, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended 
September 30, 1998. The increase in the rate paid on the Company's 
interest-bearing liabilities reflects the change in the composition of 
interest bearing liabilities as detailed in the table above, and the change 
in market interest rates between the 1998 and 1997 periods. The change in the 
composition of interest-bearing liabilities reflects the leveraging of the 
balance sheet with increased borrowings subsequent to the issuance of $17.25 
million of trust preferred securities in September of 1997. 

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

    During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, the 
Company's provision for loan loss declined by $40,000 to $240,000, and 
declined by $140,000 to $670,000, respectively, compared to the same periods 
in 1997. The decline in the provision is the result of management's 
evaluation of current portfolio loan loss exposure. Although the Company 
maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers to be 
adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that such 
losses will not exceed the estimated amounts, thereby adversely affecting 
future results of operations. The calculation of the adequacy of the 
allowance for loan losses is based on several factors, including underlying 
loan collateral values, delinquency trends and historical 

                                      13

<PAGE>

loan loss experience.  As of September 30, 1998, the Company had no loans 
classified as nonaccrual.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of 
loans stood at 2.0% at September 30, 1998, compared to 1.77% at December 31, 
1997.

</TABLE>

    Noninterest income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 
1998 increased by $399,000 or 238.9%, and $1.2 million or 197.7%, 
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1997.  These changes are 
detailed on the table above and significant changes in noninterest income are 
described below.

    The gain on sale of other real estate owned (OREO) has declined during 
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 1997 due 
to the continued decline in the balances held in OREO properties. 
Additionally, in May of 1997, an OREO property was sold at a gain of 
$176,000, which substantially exceeds all gains recorded in 1998.

    The Company has recently instituted a commercial real estate loan program 
designed to produce loan product for both the Company's portfolio and for 
potential sale in the secondary market.  The loans originated are fixed rate 
loans with interest rates fixed for ten years based on a margin over the 
ten-year U.S. Treasury Bond.  In June of 1998, the Company sold a pool of 
seven loans, along with their servicing rights, with a principal balance 
aggregating $7.5 million.  The loans were sold at a premium ranging between 
3.1% and 6.1%, depending upon the characteristics of each loan.  The total 
premium received on this pool of loans was $306,000.  See also "Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements,"  footnote 10.

    In April of 1998 and again in September of 1998, the Company sold the SBA 
guaranteed portion of three SBA loans, and four SBA loans, respectively, at a 
premium ranging between 5.75% and 10.0%.  These loans were sold, with the 
servicing rights retained, at a total premium of  $137,000 and $50,000, 
respectively.  See also "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,"  
footnote 11.

    In the third quarter of 1998, the Company sold $108.8 million in 
investment securities for a gain on sale of  $209,000.  Also in the third 
quarter of 1998, the Company purchased $125.0 million in investment 
securities with similar maturity characteristics as those sold, but with 
longer call protection.  The Company did not sell any investments during 1997 
which resulted in a gain on sale.

    Loan prepayment income for the quarter and nine months ended September 
30, 1998 rose by $63,000 and $399,000, respectively, over the comparable 
periods in 1997.  This increase is due to the increased volume of loans 
prepaying in 1998, as compared to 1997.  Total prepayments for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 increased by $23.4 million to $41.9 million 
over the comparable period in 1997.

</TABLE>

    Noninterest expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 
1998 increased by $117,000, or 5.2%, and $736,000 or 10.9%, respectively, 
over the same periods in 1997. These changes are detailed on the table above 
and significant changes in noninterest expense are described below.

    The valuation adjustment to OREO for the quarter and nine months ended 
September 30, 1998 decreased by $30,000 and $320,000, respectively, compared 
to the same periods in 1997. The Company recorded OREO valuation adjustments 
on two OREO properties in 1997, while minimal write downs were necessary 
during 1998.

    Other real estate owned expenses increased for the quarter and nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 by $7,000 and $155,000, respectively, over 
the comparable periods in 1997.  The increases were due to the Company 
accruing for additional expenses anticipated to be incurred prior to the sale 
of two OREO properties in 1998.

    Salaries and employee benefits for the quarter and nine months ended 
September 30, 1998, increased by $119,000 and $535,000, as compared to the 
same periods in 1997. These increases are partially the result of increased 
marketing and administrative bonus accruals in 1998 versus 1997, due to 
higher loan volume and improved return on equity.  In addition, the Company 
provided an approximate 4% salary increase to most employee base salaries in 
January 1998.

    Other expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 
increased by $21,000 and $136,000, respectively, over the comparable periods 
in 1997.  The increases were primarily due to the increase in Delaware State 
taxes, which are based on the Company's total assets, which have grown 
substantially in 1997.  Additionally, the Company experienced an increase in 
investor relations expense due to an increase in printing costs associated 
with the annual report.

INCOME TAX PROVISION

    For the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company estimated 
its provision for income taxes at $792,000 or 38.6% and $637,000 or 39.9%, 
respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the 
Company's provision for income taxes was $2.5 million or 40.2% and $1.8 
million or 39.9%, respectively. The difference between the Company's 
statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate, for the quarter and nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, was due to California tax 
deductions (credits) generated by the Company on loans made in special tax 
zones within California.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN BALANCE SHEETS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1997

    Total assets of the Company increased to $570.4 million at September 30, 
1998 from $464.3 million at December 31, 1997, a $106.1 million increase. 
This increase reflects the purchase of $99.9 million of investment 
securities, net of sales and maturities, and an increase of $7.1 million in 
loans during the first nine months of 1998. The Company funded this asset 
growth by increasing its interest bearing liabilities by $98.1 million to 
$530.0 million at September 30, 1998 from $431.9 million at December 31, 
1997. The increase in interest bearing liabilities reflects an increase in 
deposits of $60.1 million, primarily due to the growth in the Company's 
certificates of deposit balances that grew by $48.4 million during the first 
nine months of 1998. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, term 
borrowings were increased by $33.0 million to $78.0 million. Additionally, 
the Company added $5.0 million of borrowings in reverse repurchase agreements 
for a total of $26.5 million as of September 30, 1998.

    Loans, net of deferred fees and the allowance for loan losses, increased 
by $7.1 million to $234.1 million at September 30, 1998, from $227.0 million 
at December 31, 1997. The Company originated $64.9 million in new real estate 
and business loans during the first nine months ended September 30, 1998. 
Additionally, the Company experienced $41.9 million in loan payoffs, $7.5 
million in commercial real estate loan sales, and $1.8 million in SBA loan 
sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1998 increased by $675,000
from the level at December 31, 1997, and represents 2.0% of outstanding loans at
September 30, 1998. The increase in the general loan loss reserve from $4.1
million at December 31, 1997 to $4.8 million at September 30, 1998 reflects a
recovery of $25,000, in addition to $670,000 in loan loss provision, partially
offset by a chargeoff of $20,000. Management and the Board of Directors
regularly review loan performance and the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses.

     The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the 
Company's allowance for loan losses and valuation adjustment to OREO as of 
the dates or for the periods indicated:

</TABLE>


NONACCRUAL LOANS

     Nonaccrual loans are loans, not classified as "troubled debt 
restructurings" or OREO, that are 60 days or more delinquent, or show little 
or no current payment ability. These loans are supported, however, by 
collateral or cash flow that support the collectibility of the Company's 
remaining book balance, after consideration of the allowance for loan losses. 
The Company had no loans classified as nonaccrual at September 30, 1998. 
Nonaccrual loan balances are net of any prior write-offs, but any 
specifically assigned portions of the general allowance for loan losses are 
not deducted from the nonaccrual loan balances above.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

     Assets classified as OREO include foreclosed real estate owned by the 
Company. The Company had 3 properties in this category at September 30, 1998, 
totaling $957,000.  The Company makes valuation adjustments to its OREO, 
based on the most recent collateral appraisal data and other relevant 
information which effectively reduces the book value of such assets to the 
estimated fair market value less selling cost of the properties. The fair 
value of the real estate takes into account the real estate values net of 
expenses such as brokerage commission, past due property taxes, property 
repair expenses, and other items. The estimated sale price does not 
necessarily reflect the appraisal values which management believes, in some 
cases, may be higher than what could be realized in a sale of the OREO.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     The Company increased its short term borrowing at September 30, 1998 by 
$5.0 million to $26.5 million, from $21.5 million at December 31, 1997. The 
rates paid on this short term debt averaged 5.78% during 1998. The Company 
continued to utilize these borrowing lines to cover the short term financing 
needs for loan fundings and investment security purchases.

TERM BORROWINGS

     The Company borrowed an additional $33.0 million of term debt during 
1998. The Company has a total of $95.0 million of term borrowing lines 
available, of which $78.0 million had been borrowed at September 30, 1998. 
This debt is secured by pledging specific amounts of specific securities from 
the Company's U.S. government sponsored agency securities portfolio. $55.0 
million of these secured borrowing have an original five year maturity with a 
two-year, one-time call option, while the remaining $23.0 million have an 
original one year maturity with no call option. The table reflects the 
attributes of the Company's term borrowings.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's objective is to maintain a strong level of capital that 
will support consistent and sustained asset growth, anticipated credit risks 
and to ensure that regulatory and industry capital guidelines and standards 
are maintained. Pacific Crest Bank is subject to leverage and risk-based 
capital adequacy standards applicable to FDIC insured institutions. At 
September 30, 1998, Pacific Crest Bank was in compliance with all such 
capital requirements.

     Shareholders' equity increased by $5.3 million to $34.1 million at 
September 30, 1998. This increase reflects the increase to shareholders' 
equity by the nine months net income of $3.7 million, a $99,000 increase 
resulting from the purchase of stock under the employee and directors' stock 
purchase plans, and a $4.5 million increase in accumulated other 
comprehensive income. This increase was partially offset by a $3.0 million 
repurchase of the Company's stock.

     On October 29, 1998, the Company announced that the Board of Directors 
had declared a $.05 per common share cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 
1998. The dividend will be paid to shareholders of record at the close of 
business November 19, 1998 and is payable on December 3, 1998.

     Pacific Crest Bank is required to maintain certain minimum capital 
levels and must maintain certain capital ratios to be considered "well 
capitalized" under the prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIC 
Improvement Act.

LIQUIDITY

     The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits and payments of 
principal and interest on loans. While maturities and scheduled principal 
amortization on loans are a reasonable predictable source of funds, deposit 
flows and mortgage loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of 
interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.

     The Company's holdings of cash and cash equivalents during the nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 increased by $936,000 to $3.3 million at 
September 30, 1998 from $2.4 million at December 31, 1997. The Company 
purchased $99.9 million of U.S. government sponsored agency securities, net 
of maturities, calls and sales during 1998.

     Loans, net of deferred fees and the allowance for loan losses, increased 
by $7.1 million to $234.1 million at September 30, 1998, from $227.0 million 
at December 31, 1997. The Company originated $64.9 million in new real estate 
and business loans during the first nine months ended September 30, 1998. 
Additionally, the Company experienced $41.9 million in loan payoffs, $7.5 
million in commercial real estate loan sales, and $1.8 million in SBA loan 
sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

     The Company funded this asset growth by increasing its interest bearing 
liabilities by $98.1 million to $530.0 million at September 30, 1998 from 
$431.9 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in interest bearing 
liabilities reflects an increase in new deposits of $60.1 million, primarily 
due to the growth in the Company's certificates of deposit balances that grew 
by $48.4 million during the first nine months of 1998. Term borrowings were 
increased by $33.0 million to $78.0 million at September 30, 1998. 
Additionally, the Company added $5.0 million of borrowings in reverse 
repurchase agreements for a total of $26.5 million as of September 30, 1998.

     The liquidity of Pacific Crest Capital, Inc., (the Parent), is dependent 
on several factors, including the payment of cash dividends by its 
subsidiary, Pacific Crest Bank, or the ability to secure borrowings. Without 
dividends from Pacific Crest Bank, the Parent must rely solely on existing 
cash and investments, or the ability to secure borrowings. Cash plus 
investments less current liabilities and short-term debt totaled $7.7 million 
at September 30, 1998.  This amount is available to pay future operating 
expenses, the interest cost associated with the subordinated debt security 
issued in September of 1997, and for the possible infusion of capital into 
Pacific Crest Bank. The interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures will 
be paid by the Parent to the Trust, and represents the sole revenues of the 
Trust and the source of dividend distributions by the Trust to the holders of 
the Capital Trust Securities.

     Pacific Crest Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Parent is 
restricted by California state law, which requires that sufficient retained 
earnings are available to pay the dividend. Pacific Crest Bank had retained 
earnings of $7.8 million at September 30, 1998. The total amount of retained 
earnings is unrestricted and available for dividend payments.

YEAR 2000

     The financial institutions industry, as with other industries, is faced 
with Year 2000 issues.  These issues center around computer programs that do 
not recognize a year which begins with "20" instead of "19", or uses only 2 
digits for the year. This could result in major systems failures or 
miscalculations. This Year 2000 issue creates risks for the Company from 
unforeseen or 

                                      17

<PAGE>

unanticipated problems in its internal computer systems as well as from 
computer systems of the Federal Reserve Bank, correspondent banks, customers, 
vendors, and utility providers.  Failures of these systems or untimely 
corrections could have a material adverse impact on the Company's ability to 
conduct its business and results of operations.  

     Certain statements in this section constitute forward-looking statements 
under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which involve risk 
and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may differ significantly 
from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements.  Such factors 
include, but are not limited to, the estimated costs of remediation, the 
preparedness of third party vendors, timetables for implementation of future 
remediation and testing, contingency plans, and estimated future costs due to 
business disruption caused by affected third parties.

     The Company's computer systems and programs are designed and supported 
by companies specifically in the business of providing such products and 
services.  The Company has formed a Year 2000 committee comprised of certain 
officers to evaluate and address the Year 2000 issue for both information 
technology and non-information technology systems.

     As of the date of this 10Q filing, the Company has successfully 
completed the awareness and assessment phases of the Year 2000 plan and is 
currently in the remediation, testing and validation phases of the plan.  
None of the Company's critical systems were programmed by internal staff; 
rather, they are serviced or provided by outside system vendors.  The systems 
that were identified in the assessment phase as critical to the Company's 
operations are expected to be remediated, tested, and certified as compliant 
by the end of the first quarter of 1999.  

     The Company has notified its customers by means of statement stuffers of 
Year 2000 issues.  It is also in the process of contacting each of its major 
borrowing customers to make them aware of the issues and to seek information 
regarding its customers' preparedness for the Year 2000. Vendors and 
utilities have informed the Company that their Year 2000 projects are on 
schedule and their progress is being monitored by Company personnel.

     An expected reasonable "worst case" scenario is that, notwithstanding 
the testing and certification of all the Company's critical systems 
beforehand, a problem is discovered in the year 2000 that impacts the core 
accounting systems.  In this event, the Company would be required to perform 
many business functions manually until such time as the responsible vendor 
corrected the problem.  Such manual processing of functions is provided for 
in the Company's contingency plans.  

     The Year 2000 issues are not expected to have a material impact on the 
operations of the Company. The total cost estimated to correct the new 
computer software systems, or to have existing systems modified, is not 
expected to exceed $200,000 over the next year.
