                         ----------------------------

The Plan Administrator
Redlands Federal Bank
 Employee 401(k) Savings Plan
Redlands, California:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Redlands Federal Bank Employee 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan),
formerly Redlands Federal Bank Employee Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31,
1996 and 1995 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in the
statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The
supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

(1)  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     The following description of the Redlands Federal Bank Employee 401(k)
     Savings Plan (the Plan), formerly Redlands Federal Bank Employee Profit
     Sharing Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer
     to the Plan agreement or the Summary Plan Description for a more complete
     description of the Plan's provisions.

     GENERAL

     The Plan is a defined contribution profit sharing plan covering all
     eligible employees of Redlands Federal Bank (the Bank). Established January
     1, 1958, the Plan provides for retirement, death and disability benefits.
     The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

     Effective July 1, 1996, the Plan was amended such that NYL Trust Company
     serves as the trustee. During 1995 and through June 30, 1996, Imperial
     Trust Company served as the plan trustee.

     CONTRIBUTIONS

     Under the Plan, participants may contribute up to 10% of pre-tax earnings
     into the Plan. The employer contribution is discretionary and determined by
     the Bank each fiscal year. While it has not expressed any intention to do
     so, the Bank has the right under the Plan to discontinue such contributions
     at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth
     in ERISA. In April 1997, the employee contribution limit was increased to
     15%, up to the maximum contribution per regulation.

     ELIGIBILITY AND VESTING

     Employees of Redlands Federal Bank become eligible to participate in the
     Plan on January 1st coincidental with or next following the date of
     employment. Participants are 100% vested in both pre-tax participant
     contributions and employer profit sharing contributions, including any
     earnings. Employer matching contributions, if any, are subject to a seven
     year vesting schedule. Participants are credited with a year of vesting
     service for each plan year which they complete at least 1,000 hours of
     service.

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

     Participant balances accumulated in the Plan prior to January 1, 1990 are
     maintained in the participant's Profit-Sharing Account. No new
     contributions are credited to a participant's Profit-Sharing Account. The
     balance is fully participant directed. Participant balances are maintained
     in this account as they are available for hardship withdrawals. Profit
     Sharing Accounts are included in various funds within the Plan.

                                                                          Page 6

     PARTICIPANT LOAN FUND

     periodic repayment by payroll deductions. Participants are charged a fee
     for each loan which reduces the value of their vested interest.

(4)  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Plan had $0 and $700,000 on deposit at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively, in interest-bearing checking accounts and certificates of
     deposit at Redlands Federal Bank, the employer. In addition, the Plan held
     198,712 and 254,340 shares of common stock of RedFed Bancorp Inc. at

(5)  INCOME TAXES

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Bank by a
     letter dated March 3, 1992 that the Plan is a qualified plan under Section
     401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). The Plan has obtained a
     favorable determination, and is exempt from Federal income taxes under the
     provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code.
