1. Company Description and Basis of Presentation
---------------------------------------------
HF Bancorp, Inc. is a savings and loan holding company incorporated in the
State of Delaware that was organized for the purpose of acquiring all of the
capital stock of Hemet Federal Savings and Loan Association (the Association)
upon its conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings association to a
federally chartered stock savings association. On June 30, 1995, HF Bancorp,
Inc. completed its sale of 6,612,500 shares of its common stock through
subscription and community offerings to the Association's depositors, Board of
Directors, management, employees and the public and used approximately 50% of
the net proceeds from such sales to purchase all of the Association's common
stock issued in the Association's conversion to stock form. Net proceeds of the
initial offering were $51.1 million and $25.5 million was used for purchase of
the Association's common stock. Such business combination was accounted for at
historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HF Bancorp,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Hemet Federal Savings and Loan Association
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, HF Financial Corporation, and its subsidiary,
First Hemet Corporation (collectively, the Company). First Hemet Corporation
provides trustee services for the Association, is engaged in real estate
development, and receives commissions from the sale of mortgage life insurance,
fire insurance and annuities. All material intercompany transactions, profits
and balances have been eliminated.
The Company is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Headquartered in Hemet, California, the
Association conducts business from its main office and three branch offices
located in Hemet, California, and from its other eight branch offices located in
Riverside, Sun City, San Jacinto, Canyon Lake, Idyllwild and Murrieta,
California. The Association is regulated by the OTS and the FDIC and its
deposits are insured up to the applicable limits under the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. The Association is also a member of the
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB"). The Association is primarily
engaged in the business of attracting funds in the form of deposits and
supplementing such deposits with FHLB and other borrowings, and investing such
funds in
8
<PAGE> 9
HF BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
loans secured by real estate, primarily one-to four-family residential mortgage
loans. Additionally, the Association has sought in recent years to offset the
decline in available mortgage lending and enhance earnings through investments
in U.S. agency backed investment securities and mortgage-backed and related
securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations. To a lesser extent,
the Association invests in multi-family mortgage loans, commercial real estate
loans, construction loans, acquisition, development and land loans and consumer
loans. The Association's revenues are derived principally from interest on its
mortgage loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolio and interest and
dividends on its investment securities. The Association's primary sources of
funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed
securities, FHLB advances, and other borrowings.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management all necessary adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results of operations for the nine-month
period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
These consolidated financial statements and the information under the
heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto of HF Bancorp, Inc. for the year ended
June 30, 1995 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.
2. Earnings Per Share
------------------
Earnings per share for the three and nine months ended March 31,
1996 are based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 6,127,832 and
6,155,393, respectively. The total issued shares of 6,612,500 have been adjusted
for the weighted average unallocated shares
9
<PAGE> 10
HF BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
under the ESOP plan of 412,730 for the three months and 433,302 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996, and for the reduction of outstanding shares
purchased for the stock compensation plan of 71,938 for the three months and
23,805 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. (See note 6)
Earnings per share information is not presented for periods prior to
conversion to stock form, as the Association was a mutual savings and loan
association and no stock was outstanding.
3. Termination of Swap Agreements
------------------------------
On July 10, 1995, the Company terminated four interest rate swap
agreements with an aggregate outstanding notional amount of $60,000,000. At June
30, 1995, the weighted average fixed payment rate and variable payment received
rate were 9.53% and 6.11%, respectively. The Company paid a termination fee of
$4,856,000 which has been deferred and is being amortized over the remaining
terms of the respective swap agreements. The expected annual amortization is as
follows: $1,975,000, $1,811,000, $798,000 and $272,000 for the years ended June
30, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 respectively. As of March 31, 1996 the remaining
deferred amount was $3,390,000.
4. Change in Accounting Principles
-------------------------------
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures," generally requires all creditors to account for impaired loans,
except those loans that are accounted for at fair value or at the lower of cost
or fair value, at the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted
at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the
loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan
is collateral dependent. SFAS No. 114 indicates that a creditor should evaluate
the collectability of both contractual interest and
10
<PAGE> 11
HF BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
contractual principal when assessing the need for loss recognition. SFAS No. 114
was adopted by the Company as of July 1, 1995; there was no impact upon
adoption.
The Association applies the provisions of SFAS No. 114 to all loans in its
portfolio. In applying the provisions of SFAS No. 114, the Association considers
a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Association will be unable to
collect all contractual principal and interest in accordance with the terms of
the loan agreement. However, in determining when a loan is impaired, management
also considers the loan documentation, current loan to value ratios, and the
borrowers current financial position. The Association considers all loans
delinquent 90 days or more and all loans that have a specific loss allowance
applied to adjust the loan to fair value as impaired.
As of March 31, 1996, the Association had impaired loans totaling $5.9 million
which have related specific reserves of $891,000; there were $2.8 million of
impaired loans as of March 31, 1996 for which no specific reserves had been
recorded. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 was $8.0 million. The accrual of interest on
impaired loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may
be unable to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is
discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is
subsequently recognized to the extent of full cash payments received and
accepted. As of March 31, 1996 accrued interest on impaired loans was $63,000
and interest of $504,000 was received in cash for the nine months then ended.
Interest not recognized due to non-accrual status was $97,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996.
In November 1995, the FASB issued a "Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities: Questions and
Answers"(the "Guide"). The Guide allows for a one time reassessment of the
classification of all securities and, in connection with such reassessment,
permits the reclassification of securities from the held-to-maturity
classification to the available-for-sale classification as of a single date no
later than December 31, 1995, without calling into question management's intent
to hold to maturity the remaining securities classified as held-to-maturity. On
December 18, 1995, the Association transferred $59.0 million of investments and
$24.6 million of mortgage-backed securities from
11
<PAGE> 12
HF BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
the held-to-maturity to the available-for-sale classification to enhance
liquidity and provide more flexibility through a variety of interest rate
scenarios. The transfer resulted in an unrealized gain of $424,000, net of tax,
which is included in the unrealized gains/losses on available-for-sale
securities set forth as a separate component of stockholder's equity.
During 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and SFAS No. 122,
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights." Management does not believe that
either of these statements will have a material impact on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 1996.
SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation
arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require) compensation
cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded.
Companies are permitted, however, to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25, which
recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity
instrument awarded. The Company will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its
stock based compensation awards to employees and will disclose the required pro
forma effect on net income and earnings per share. (See note 6)
5. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
6. Stock Plans
-----------
The Company established for eligible employees an Employee Stock Ownership
Plan and Trust ("ESOP") which became effective upon the conversion of the
Association from a mutual
12
<PAGE> 13
HF BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
to a stock association (the "Conversion"). The ESOP subscribed for 7% of the
shares of common stock issued in the Conversion pursuant to the subscription
rights granted under the ESOP plan. On June 30, 1995, the ESOP borrowed
$3,703,000 from the Company in order to fund the purchase of common stock. The
loan to the ESOP will be repaid principally from the Company's contributions to
the ESOP over a period of ten years and the collateral for the loan is the
common stock purchased by the ESOP. The interest rate for the ESOP loan is 9%.
As of March 31, 1996 a total of 46,288 shares of common stock was allocated to
employee accounts, leaving a remainder of 416,587 shares to be allocated over
the next nine years.
At the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders on January 11, 1996, the
shareholders approved the HF Bancorp, Inc. 1995 Master Stock Option Plan ("Stock
Option Plan") and the Hemet Federal Savings and Loan Association Master Stock
Compensation Plan (the "Stock Compensation Plan") (collectively the "Plans").
These Plans became effective as of the date of approval. The Stock Compensation
Plan was authorized to acquire 198,375 shares of common stock in the open
market. The Association contributed funds to the Stock Compensation Plan to
enable the Stock Compensation Plan trustees to acquire the necessary shares of
the common stock. On February 28, 1996, the Association acquired 198,375 shares
in the open market at a price of $10.00 per share. Such is shown as deferred
compensation on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of March
31, 1996 included herein. Stock shares are held in trust. The Plan allocated
34,700 shares to directors with the remaining shares allocated to employees as
follows: 75% as a base grant and 25% as a performance grant to employees
(provided goals are met) which will vest over a 5 year period. The total shares
authorized were awarded to directors and employees in key management positions
in order to provide them with a proprietary interest in the Association in a
manner designed to encourage such employees to remain with the Association. The
amount contributed to the Stock Compensation Plan will be amortized to
compensation expense as the Association's employees and directors become vested
in those shares. As of March 31, 1996, $100,000 has been amortized to expense.
The Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of up to 661,250 shares of
Common Stock to employees in key management positions and directors and similar
to the Stock Compensation Plan, it is intended to provide key management and
directors with a proprietary interest in the Company and therefore an incentive
to remain with the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
7. Recent Developments
-------------------
The Association announced on April 15, 1996 that it had signed a
definitive agreement to purchase from Hawthorne Savings, F.S.B. three branches
in nearby San Diego County. The branches, which hold approximately $168 million
in deposits, are located in Oceanside, Vista and Rancho Bernardo. Hemet Federal
agreed to pay a premium of $5.6 million for the deposits, which is 3.67% of the
core deposit total of $153.2 million.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------
General
- -------
HF Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp" or the "Company") was organized by Hemet Federal
Savings and Loan Association ("Association" or "Hemet Federal") for the purpose
of acquiring all of the capital stock of the Association to be issued in
connection with the Association's conversion from mutual to stock form, which
was consummated on June 30, 1995, (the "Conversion"). The Company was
incorporated under Delaware law. The Company is a savings and loan holding
company and is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Headquartered in Hemet, California, the Company
conducts business from its main office and three branch offices located in
Hemet, California, and from its other eight branch offices located in Riverside,
Sun City, San Jacinto, Canyon Lake, Idyllwild and Murrieta, California. The
Association is regulated by the OTS and the FDIC and its deposits are insured up
to the applicable limits under the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")
of the FDIC. The Association is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
San Francisco ("FHLB").
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of attracting funds in the form
of deposits and supplementing such deposits with FHLB and other borrowings, and
investing such funds in loans secured by real estate, primarily one to four
family residential mortgage loans. Additionally, due to the significant
competition for lending in Hemet Federal's market area, the Company has sought
in recent years to offset the decline in available mortgage lending and enhance
earnings through investments in U.S. agency backed investment securities and
mortgage-backed and related securities, including collateralized mortgage
obligations ("CMOs") that generally are either guaranteed by a Federal agency, a
government sponsored entity, or are private issuer securities that have an
investment grade rating of AAA. To a lesser extent, the Company invests in
multi-family mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans,
acquisition, development and land loans and consumer loans. Management believes
that its investment in other investment securities and mortgage-backed and
related securities enable the Company to maintain adequate liquidity levels,
maintain a balance of high quality, diversified investments, provide collateral
for short- and long-term borrowings, provide low administrative cost, manage
interest rate risk and lessen the exposure to credit risk.
The Company's revenues are derived principally from interest on its mortgage
loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolio and interest and dividends on its
investment securities. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits and
principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, FHLB
advances, and other borrowings. Through subsidiaries, the Company also engages
in residential real estate development and receives commissions from the sale of
mortgage life insurance, fire insurance, annuities, mutual funds and derives
income from trustee services.

Changes in Financial Condition from June 30, 1995 - March 31, 1996
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Total assets of the Company increased $88.3 million, or 13.3%, from $666.1
million at June 30, 1995 to $754.4 million at March 31, 1996, primarily as a
result of an increase in Investment Securities of $140.2 million, or 187.2%,
from $74.9 million at June 30, 1995 to $215.0 million at March 31, 1996,
primarily from two transactions whereby the Association borrowed funds from the
FHLB ($50 million) and entered into a Reverse Repurchase Agreement with a
brokerage firm ($49.4 million) resulting in the purchase of $100 million of FHLB
callable notes. Loans receivable increased $16.5 million primarily due to a
whole loan purchase, plus servicing rights of adjustable rate residential loans,
indexed to the FHLB 11th District Cost of Funds (COFI), from a local Savings
Bank in the amount of $12.4 million. Mortgage-backed securities decreased $5.5
million, from $278.7 million at June 30, 1995 to $271.5 million at March 31,
1996 due to repayments during the period. Investment in capital stock of the
FHLB increased to $6.1 million from $4.3 million, which is attributable to the
additional $50 million borrowing, discussed above.
Deposit account balances increased $14.4 million, or 3.1 %, from $472.3 million
at June 30, 1995 to $486.8 million at March 31, 1996, primarily due to the
Association's improved and aggressive marketing in the local competitive area,
with a strong emphasis on retaining existing accounts at maturity and a more
competitive stance on acquiring new funds from the market place. Outstanding
debt in the form of FHLB advances and other borrowings increased in the
aggregate from $70.0 million at June 30, 1995 to $169.4 million at March 31,
1996 primarily as an additional funding source to purchase $100.0 million of
FHLB callable notes. One borrowing was for $50.0 million from the FHLB for a one
year term and the other borrowing was a Reverse Repurchase Agreement with a
primary broker in the amount of $49.4 million for a term of three months, which
was extended for an additional three months. FHLB callable notes in the amount
of $50.0 million each were purchased with the borrowing proceeds. The FHLB
callable note funded by the FHLB advance has a term of twelve years, callable in
one year or semi-annually thereafter. The FHLB callable note funded by the
Reverse Repurchase Agreement has a term of ten years, callable in three months
or quarterly thereafter. Total equity decreased from $87.1 million at June 30,
1995 to $86.3 million at March 31, 1996, or 1.0 %, primarily due to the purchase
of 198,375 shares of common stock of the Company by the Association for future
distribution under the Stock Compensation Plan to directors and employees in key
management positions and also as a result of a decrease in net unrealized gain
on securities available for sale of $715,000, from $769,000 at June 30, 1995 to
$54,000 at March 31, 1996, primarily as a result of decreased market prices on
the agency bonds.
Managing Interest Rate Risk and Hedging Activities
- --------------------------------------------------
In an effort to manage the Company's vulnerability to interest rate changes,
management closely monitors interest rate risk on an ongoing basis.
The Company has limited its exposure to interest rate risk, in part, through the
origination and purchase of ARM loans and shorter-term fixed-rate loans.
Management believes that, although
16
<PAGE> 17
investment in ARM loans may reduce short-term earnings below amounts obtainable
through investments in fixed-rate mortgage loans, an ARM loan portfolio reduces
the Company's exposure to adverse interest rate fluctuations and enhances longer
term profitability. In recent periods, overall loan originations have decreased
in the Company's market area. In December 1995 the Association purchased 79
single family loans totaling $12.4 million, from a local Savings Bank. These
loans were adjustable rate with a weighted average yield of 7.63%, with the rate
resetting every six months off the 11th District Cost of Funds (COFI) Index.
There can be no assurance that any substantial amount of ARM loans meeting the
Association's underwriting standards will be available for origination in the
future. The overall investment policy of the Company is designed to manage the
interest rate sensitivity of its overall assets and liabilities, to generate a
favorable return without incurring undue interest rate risk, to supplement the
Company's lending activities, and to provide and maintain liquidity. The
Company's objective is to control interest rate risk through investments in
instruments with shorter terms to maturity or average lives to better match the
repricing of liabilities. As of December 31, 1995, pursuant to the results of
the OTS Risk Management Model, the Associations Net Portfolio Value was $78.6
million compared to its book value of $63.1 million. The Association would have
no additional capital requirement pursuant to a capital component calculation,
which the OTS has yet to implement.
The Company has also utilized a variety of financial instruments and strategies
to manage the interest rate risk associated with its interest rate sensitive
assets and liabilities, including off- balance sheet transactions, such as
interest rate agreements, including swaps, caps and floors, which the Company
originally entered into to synthetically adjust the duration of the Company's
liabilities to more closely match that of its assets. At March 31, 1996, the
Company had two interest swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of
$35.0 million. One swap will mature on January 6, 1999 in the notional amount of
$20.0 million, and the other will mature on January 30, 1999 in the notional
amount of $15.0 million. On July 10, 1995 the Association terminated four
interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $60.0 million
invoking a termination fee of $4.9 million which is being amortized to expense
over the individual remaining contract lives of each swap. At March 31, 1996 the
deferred loss for termination fees was $3.4 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans, mortgage-backed and related securities, retained earnings
and, FHLB advances and other borrowings. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions, and competition. The Association has continued to maintain the
required minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations. This
requirement, which may be varied at the direction of the OTS depending upon
economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits
and short-term borrowings. The required ratio is currently 5%. The Association's
liquidity ratio was 6.5% at March 31, 1996 compared to 16.6% at June 30, 1995.
17
<PAGE> 18
The Company's cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash
flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.
See Statements of Cash Flows in the Consolidated Financial Statements included
herein. The Company's primary sources of funds during the nine months ended
March 31, 1996 were principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed and
investment securities, and FHLB advances and other borrowings.
The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises
including FHLB advances. At March 31, 1996, the Association had $120.0 million
in advances outstanding from the FHLB, an increase of $50.0 million from June
30, 1995. The Association also executed a reverse repurchase agreement with a
primary broker in the amount of $49.4 million, in November 1995, that originally
matured in March 1996 and was renewed with a new maturity in June 1996. The
proceeds along with additional cash were invested in a $50.0 million U.S.
Government Agency callable security. The Association also has additional
collateral in the form of mortgage loans, mortgage backed and related securities
and U.S. Government Agency Notes and Bonds that may be used in securing
financing for cash needs.
18
<PAGE> 19
The Association must maintain capital standards as set forth by federal
regulations. As of March 31, 1996, these requirements are: 1) tangible capital
of 1.5% of adjusted assets; 2) core capital of 3% of adjusted assets; and 3)
risk-based capital of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. At March 31, 1996, the
Association exceeded all minimum regulatory capital requirements as shown in the
table below:

</TABLE>
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
contains "prompt corrective action" provisions under which insured depository
institutions are to be classified into one of five categories based primarily
upon capital adequacy. The categories range from "well capitalized" to
"critically under capitalized." OTS guidelines define a "well capitalized"
institution as follows: A savings institution is "well capitalized" if it has a
total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, has a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of 6% or greater, has a core
capital ratio of 5% or greater and is not subject to any written capital order
or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level of any capital
measure. At March 31, 1996, the Associations' regulatory capital levels exceed
the thresholds required to be classified as a "well capitalized" institution.
The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") issued final regulations which set
forth the methodology for calculating an interest rate risk component that is
being incorporated into the
19
<PAGE> 20
OTS regulatory capital rules. Under the new regulations, only savings
institutions with "above normal" interest rate risk exposure are required to
maintain additional capital. This additional capital would increase the amount
of a savings institution's otherwise required risk-based capital requirement.
The final rule became effective January 1, 1994 and implementation will not
begin until the Association has been notified by the OTS. As of December 31,
1995, pursuant to the OTS's risk based calculation, the Association would have
no requirement for additional risk- based capital as a result of the
interest-rate risk capital component.
Management believes that, under the current regulations, the Association will
continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the coming year. However,
events beyond the control of the Association, such as changing interest rates or
a further downturn in the economy in the areas where the Association has most of
its loans and real estate projects, could adversely affect future earnings and,
consequently, the ability of the Association to meet its future minimum capital
requirements.
Recapitalization of SAIF and Thrift Rechartering Legislation
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Deposits of the Association are presently insured by the SAIF. Both the SAIF and
the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), the deposit insurance fund that covers most
commercial bank deposits, are statutorily required to be recapitalized to a
1.25% of insured reserve deposits ratio. Until recently, members of the SAIF and
BIF were paying average deposit insurance premiums of between 24 and 25 basis
points. The BIF presently meets the required reserve ratio, whereas the SAIF is
not expected to meet or exceed the required level until 2002 at the earliest,
which is primarily due to the statutory requirement that SAIF members make
payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation ("FICO") which were issued
in the late 1980s to recapitalize the predecessor to the SAIF.
The FDIC recently adopted a new assessment rate schedule of 0 to 27 basis points
of insured deposits for BIF members. Under the new schedule, approximately 91%
of BIF members would pay the lowest assessment rate of 0 basis points with a
minimum statutorily-required payment of $2,000 annually. With respect to SAIF
member institutions, the FDIC adopted a final rule retaining the existing
assessment rate schedule applicable to SAIF member institutions of 23 to 31
basis points. As long as the premium differential continues, it may have adverse
consequences for SAIF members, including reduced earnings and an impaired
ability to raise funds in the capital markets. In addition, SAIF members, such
as the Association could be placed at a substantial competitive disadvantage to
BIF members with respect to pricing of loans and deposits and the ability to
achieve lower operating costs.
Several legislative bills have been introduced in Congress to mitigate the
effect of the BIF/SAIF premium disparity. As of the date hereof, proposed
legislation would impose a one-time fee of an amount estimated to be between 75
and 80 basis points on the amount of deposits held on March 31, 1995 by
SAIF-member institutions, including the Association, to recapitalize the SAIF
fund. The legislation would also require that the BIF and the SAIF be merged by
January 1, 1998 if subsequent legislation is enacted eliminating the savings
association charter and that the FICO payments be spread across all BIF and SAIF
members. The payment of the special
20
<PAGE> 21
assessment would have the effect of immediately reducing the capital of
SAIF-member institutions by the amount of the assessment, net of any tax effect;
however, it would not affect the Association's compliance with its regulatory
capital requirements. Management cannot predict whether legislation imposing
such an assessment will be enacted, or, if enacted, the amount of any
assessment, whether ongoing SAIF premiums will be reduced to a level equal to
that of BIF premiums or whether the BIF and SAIF will eventually be merged.
The Association's assessment rate for fiscal 1995, the first six months of
fiscal 1996 and the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were .23%, .26%, and .23%
respectively, and the premiums paid were $1.1 million and $905,000, for fiscal
1995 and the nine months ended March 31, 1996, respectively. A significant
increase in SAIF insurance premiums or a significant one-time fee to
recapitalize the SAIF would likely have an adverse effect on the operating
expenses and results of operations of the Association. Based on the
Association's deposit insurance assessment base as of March 31, 1995, an 75 to
80 basis point fee to capitalize the SAIF would result in a $2.3 million to $2.5
million payment on an after-tax basis.
Several pending bills would eliminate the federal thrift charter and abolish the
OTS. These bills would require that all federal savings associations convert to
national banks or state banks by no later than January 1, 1998 and treat all
state savings associations as state banks for the purpose of federal
regulations. Under the legislative proposals savings and loan holding companies,
subject to limited grandfathering, would be subject to the activities
restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. Any such legislation, if
enacted, could limit the permissible activities for the Association and
otherwise disrupt operations. Pending legislation would also eliminate the bad
debt reserve deduction for savings institutions and, as a least one bill as
presently drafted, would not require savings associations that become national
or state banks pursuant to the legislation to recapture the bad debt reserve,
provided the Association continues to have a certain percentage of its assets in
residential related loans. The outcome of this pending legislation and the
effect of the legislation on the bad debt reserve deduction of thrift
institutions such as the Association is uncertain. Therefore, the Association is
unable to determine the extent to which such legislation, if enacted, would
affect its business or require the recapture of the bad debt reserve.

The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans
delinquent 90 days or more and real estate acquired through foreclosure (REO).

The Association adopted SFAS 114, as amended by SFAS 118 as of July 1, 1995 and
recognized no impact upon adoption. The Association evaluates all loans when
considering impairment under the provisions of SFAS 114. A loan is considered
impaired when it is probable that the Association will be unable to collect all
contractual principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the loan
agreement, when a loan is ninety days or more past due, or when the loan has
been classified as "substandard" by an internal review process.
At March 31, 1996 the Association had impaired loans totalling $5.9 million,
which have related specific reserves of $891,000; there were $2.8 million of
impaired loans as of March 31, 1996 for which no specific reserves had been
recorded. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the nine
month period ended March 31, 1996 was $8.0 million.
Interest is accrued on impaired loans on a monthly basis except for those loans
that are 90 days or more delinquent (non-accrual loans). When a loan becomes 90
days or more delinquent, the accrual of interest ceases and all previously
accrued interest is reversed. As of March 31, 1996, accrued interest on impaired
loans was $63,000 and interest of $504,000 was received in cash for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1996.
22
<PAGE> 23
If all non-accrual loans had been performing in accordance with their original
loan terms and had been outstanding from the earlier of the beginning of the
period or origination, the Association would have recorded interest income of
$97,000 during the nine month period ended March 31, 1996.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
based on management's evaluation of the risks inherent in its loan portfolio and
the general economy. Management reviews the Company's loan loss allowance on a
monthly basis. In determining levels of risk, management considers a variety of
factors, including asset classifications, economic trends, industry experience
and trends, industry and geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values,
management's assessment of the credit risk inherent in the portfolio, historical
loan loss experience, and the Company's underwriting policies. The allowance for
loan losses is maintained at an amount management considers adequate to cover
losses in loans receivable which are deemed probable and estimable.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the Association's allowance for loan
losses. Such agencies may require the Association to recognize additions to the
allowance based on judgments different from those of management.
While management uses the best information available to make these estimates,
future adjustments to the allowances may be necessary due to economic,
operating, regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond the Company's
control.

</TABLE>
The ratio of allowance for estimated loan losses to gross loans decreased from
1.30% at June 30, 1995 to 1.20% at March 31, 1996 due to an increase in gross
loans over the nine month period as a result of increased fundings and slower
loan prepayments. The ratio of allowance for estimated loan losses to gross
non-performing loans decreased slightly from 118.12% at June 30, 1995, to
113.32% at March 31, 1996 due primarily to a slight increase in non-performing
loans of 3.4%, from $2.3 million at June 30, 1995 to $2.4 million at March 31,
1996. The ratio of allowance for total estimated losses to total nonperforming
assets decreased from 110.73% at June 30, 1995 to 95.78% at March 31, 1996,
primarily due to an increase in the level of non performing assets of $848,000.
Such increase is primarily a result of increased levels of real estate owned.
The $635,000 of allowance for loan loss charge-offs was primarily attributable
24
<PAGE> 25
to non-performing loans that converted to real estate owned through foreclosure
(REO-F) during the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The Association accounts
for REO-F at fair market value upon acquisition and management believes that
adequate loss provisions have been established.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 and 1995
- -------------
GENERAL: The Company reported net income of $799,000 for the three months ended
- -------
March 31, 1996 compared to a net loss of $577,000, for the three months ended
March 31, 1995. Net interest income increased $1.1 million or 35.6% from $3.1
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $4.3 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996, primarily due to an increase in total interest earning
assets over total interest bearing liabilities resulting from the conversion
proceeds obtained at June 30, 1995 through the initial public offering, which
now contribute to the earnings stream plus the benefit provided by additional
borrowings that were invested in two FHLB callable notes totalling $100 million.
In addition, loss from real estate operations decreased from $799,000 to $75,000
primarily due to lower loss provisions on real estate owned for investment and
an increase in net gains on sale of real estate owned, acquired through
foreclosure. Other income increased from $58,000 to $420,000 primarily due to an
income tax refund in the amount of $373,000. This was partially offset by an
increase in general and administrative expense of $348,000, or 11.8%, from $2.9
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $3.3 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996.
For the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 the Company reported net income
of $1.6 million compared to a net loss of $450,000 for the same period of 1995.
Net interest income before provision for estimated loan losses increased by $3.1
million to $11.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 compared to
$8.7 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 1995 primarily due to an
increase in total interest earning assets over interest bearing liabilities in
the 1996 period and the decrease in net interest expense of hedging activities
of $1.3 million from $3.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to
$2.4 million for the period ended March 31, 1996 which was caused by the
maturity of a $40 million interest rate swap in October 1994 that the
Association was paying a fixed rate of 9.85% on, while receiving a variable rate
indexed quarterly to the 3-month LIBOR, which was 5.61% at its last reset date
in July 1994. In addition, other income (expense) increased from $44,000 to
$753,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively
primarily due to a decrease in loss from real estate operations and the receipt
of interest on an income tax refund in the amount of $373,000.
INTEREST INCOME: Interest income increased $3.2 million, or 31.9% from $10.0
- ----------------
million to $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively, with interest and dividends on investment securities making up
$2.5 million of the increase, primarily due to the additional funds invested
from the proceeds of the June 30, 1995 conversion from a mutual to stock
association and the added interest income from the $100 million invested in FHLB
callable notes, previously discussed, which were purchased in October and
November of

1995. Average balances of total interest earning assets for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 exceeded the average balances for the same quarter of 1995 by
$151.2 million and the average weighted yield increased by 28 basis points from
7.11% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to 7.39% for the quarter ended March
31, 1996.
For the nine month period ended March 31, 1996, interest income increased $6.7
million, or 22.1% from $30.1 million for the nine month period ended March 31,
1995 to $36.8 million for the same period ended March 31, 1996. The increase in
the average balance of interest earning assets in comparing the nine month
period ended March 31, 1996 over 1995 was directly attributable to funds
obtained in the conversion proceeds, as well as the additional funds recognized
on the borrowings and related investments in FHLB Agency callable notes,
previously discussed.
The average weighted yield on total interest earning assets increased 25 basis
points from 7.05% for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 to 7.30% for the same
period in 1996.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense increased $2.1 million, or 30.1% from $6.9
- ----------------
million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $9.0 million for the same
period in 1996, primarily due to an increase in interest on borrowings of $1.4
million and an increase in interest on deposit accounts of $765,000. The average
weighted cost on interest bearing liabilities increased 49 basis points from
5.13% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to 5.62% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996.
For the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in
1995 Interest expense on interest bearing liabilities increased $3.5 million,
from $21.4 million to $25.0 million. Interest on deposit accounts increased $2.8
million and interest on borrowings increased $2.1 million, the combined effect
of which was partially offset by a decrease in net hedging expense of $1.3
million due to the maturity of a $40.0 million, notional amount, interest rate
swap in October 1994.
NET INTEREST INCOME: Net interest income before provision for estimated loan
- --------------------
losses increased $1.1 million, or 35.6%, from $3.1 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 to $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 primarily
due to the increase in margin of average interest earning assets over average
interest bearing liabilities of $27.6 million resulting from the addition of the
conversion proceeds added at June 30, 1995 plus the benefit realized on
additional borrowings being invested in FHLB callable notes, totalling $100
million which had a combined net interest margin of 1.80%. The spread between
average weighted yield on interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities decreased from 1.98% to 1.77% when comparing the quarter ended March
31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, due in a large part to a 54 basis point increase in
the average weighted interest on deposit accounts for the quarter over the
previous year's quarter.
For the nine month period ended March 31, 1996, net interest income before
provision for estimated loan losses increased by $3.1 million to $11.8 million
from $8.7 million for the
26
<PAGE> 27
comparable period of 1995, due primarily to the decrease in net interest expense
of hedging transactions which decreased from $3.7 million for the nine month
ended March 31, 1995 to $2.5 million for the same period ended March 31, 1996.
Net interest margin increased from 2.04 % for the nine months ended March 31,
1995 to 2.35 % for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The spread between the
average weighted yield on interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities decreased by 11 basis points from 1.78% to 1.67% when comparing the
periods of 1995 and 1996, respectively.
PROVISION FOR ESTIMATED LOAN LOSSES: Provision for estimated loan losses
- ---------------------------------------
decreased by $119,000 in comparing the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
changing from $538,000 to $419,000 respectively. Included in the provision
recorded during the three months ended March 31, 1996, is a provision of
$207,000 for one commercial real estate loan. Provision for estimated loan
losses for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 was decreased by $173,000
from $795,000 to $622,000 when comparing the nine month periods of 1996 and
1995, respectively. Non-performing loans were up from $2.0 million at March 31,
1995 to $2.4 million at March 31, 1996. The balance of the allowance for
estimated loan loss was $2.7 million at March 31, 1996 compared to $2.3 million
at March 31, 1995.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE: Other income and expense increased by $1.1 million to
- ------------------------
$543,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 from expense of $562,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995. For the cumulative nine month period ended March
31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, the increase was $709,000 from $44,000 to $753,000
for the respective period of 1995 and 1996. The three and nine month period
increases were attributable to improvements in real estate operations and the
receipt of interest on an income tax refund from the California State Franchise
Tax Board of approximately $373,000. The primary variances of losses from real
estate operations for the nine month period ending March 31, 1996, compared to
the nine month period ending March 31, 1995 were an increase on net gain on sale
of REO-F of $98,000 primarily due to the sale of a commercial property at a
gain, offset by an increase of $82,000 of net operating expenses associated with
REO-F; a decrease of $389,000 of loss provision expense for real estate owned
for investment (REO-I); offset by a $52,000 reduction of profits on the sale of
REO-I for residential real estate development projects operated by the
Association's fully owned subsidiary, First Hemet Corporation.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: General and administrative expenses
- --------------------------------------
increased by $348,000 or 11.8% from $2.9 million to $3.3 million for the
quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 respectively, primarily attributable to
the increase in salaries and employee benefits which increased from $1.5 million
to $1.6 million for the quarter March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. For the
nine month period ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, the general and administrative
expenses increased $925,000, or 10.7%, from $8.6 million to $9.6 million, again
related primarily to increase in salaries and employee benefits, due to
additional expenses associated with an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), a
Stock Compensation Plan and the addition of a new corporate position of
Executive Vice President - Chief Operating Officer. The ratio of general and
administrative expenses to average total assets decreased from 1.95% to 1.83%
for the period ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, respectively; primarily
due
27
<PAGE> 28
to a 26.3% increase in average total assets for the comparable period.
Management is committed to and exerts continued effort to minimize general and
administrative expenses through the improvement of efficiencies in operations
and other on-going cost control measures.
INCOME TAXES: Income tax expense increased by $619,000 for the quarter ended
- -------------
March 31, 1996 as compared to the comparable period in 1995 due to an increase
in pre-tax earnings. For the nine month period ending March 31, 1996 the income
tax expense increased by $1.1 million as pre-tax earnings rose from a loss of
$678,000 for the period ended March 31, 1995 to income of $2.4 million for the
period ended March 31, 1996. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996,
income tax expense was partially offset as a result of a tax credit received
from the California State Franchise Tax Board in the amount of $176,000.
