See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 6 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2000 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of UnionBanCal Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, they do not include all of the disclosures necessary for annual financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the full year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP also 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 revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On March 3, 1999, the Company completed a secondary offering of 28.75 million shares of its Common Stock owned by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. (BTM). The Company received no proceeds from this transaction. Concurrent with the secondary offering, the Company repurchased 8.6 million shares of its outstanding Common Stock from BTM and 2.1 million shares owned by Meiji Life Insurance Company with $311 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of $350 million of 7 3/8 percent redeemable preferred securities that occurred on February 19, 1999. In November 1999 the Company announced a $100 million stock repurchase plan. In the first quarter of 2000 the Company repurchased $55.8 million of common stock. On January 1, 2000, the Company changed the actuarial method it uses to calculate the market-related value of its pension plan assets. This change increased the value of plan assets on which the expected returns are based and, therefore, results in lower net periodic pension cost. This change in methodology resulted in a one-time credit to salaries and benefits of $16.0 million. The impact on future years is not considered significant. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current financial statement presentation. NOTE 2--RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Statement will require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that derivative instruments used to hedge be identified specifically to assets, liabilities, firm commitments or anticipated transactions and measured as to effectiveness and ineffectiveness when hedging changes in fair value or cash flows. Derivative instruments that do not qualify as either a fair value or cash flow hedge will be valued at fair value with the resultant gain or loss recognized in current earnings. Changes in the effective portion of fair value hedges will be recognized in current earnings along with the change in fair value of the hedged item.

In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133", to defer for one year the effective date of implementation of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with earlier application encouraged. Management believes that, depending upon the accumulated net gain or loss of the effective portion of cash flow hedges at the date of adoption, the impact of SFAS No. 133 could have a material impact on other comprehensive income. However, management believes that any ineffective portion of cash flow hedges or any other hedges will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001. NOTE 3--EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS incorporates the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding on an average basis during the period. Stock options are a common stock equivalent. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 2000:

8 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2000 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) NOTE 5--BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company is organized based on the products and services that it offers and operates in four principal areas: - The Community Banking and Investment Services Group provides loan products and deposit services primarily to consumers and small businesses, as well as fiduciary, private banking, investment and asset management services for individuals and institutions. - The Commercial Financial Services Group provides a wide variety of banking services, principally loans, to commercial customers. - The International Banking Group provides trade-finance products to banks, and extends primarily short-term credit to corporations engaged in international business. The group's revenue predominately relates to foreign customers. - The Global Markets Group manages the Company's securities portfolio, trading operations, wholesale funding needs, and interest rate and liquidity risk. The information set forth in the following table reflects the condensed income statements and a selected balance sheet item by business unit. The information presented does not necessarily represent the business units' financial condition and results of operations as if they were independent entities. Unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to US GAAP. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable with those presented by other companies. The information in this table is derived from the internal management reporting system used by management to measure the performance of the segments and the Company overall. The management reporting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each segment based on internal management accounting policies. Net interest income is determined by the Company's internal funds transfer pricing system, which assigns a cost of funds or a credit for funds to assets or liabilities based on their type, maturity or repricing characteristics. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to that business, other than restructuring charges (credits). Indirect costs, such as overhead, operations, and technology expense, are allocated to the segments based on studies of billable unit costs for product or data processing. With the Company's adoption of a risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) methodology, credit expense is charged to businesses based upon expected losses arising from credit risk. In addition, the attribution of economic capital is related to unexpected losses arising from credit, market and operational risks. "Other" is comprised of goodwill, certain parent company non-bank subsidiaries, the elimination of the fully taxable-equivalent amounts, the unallocated allowance and related provision for credit losses, the net impact of transfer pricing, the earnings associated with the unallocated equity capital, and the residual costs of support groups, as well as certain other non-recurring items such as restructuring charges (credits) and merger and integration expenses. In addition, it includes two units, the Credit and Compliance Group, which manages nonperforming assets, and the Pacific Rim Group, which offers financial products to 9 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2000 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) NOTE 5--BUSINESS SEGMENTS (CONTINUED) Asian-owned subsidiaries located in the U.S. On an individual basis, none of the business units in "Other" are significant to the Company's business.

The restructuring charge was incurred in connection with a company-wide project referred to as "Mission Excel". Mission Excel is an initiative to slow the rate of growth of expenses, increase sustainable growth in revenues, and increase productivity through elimination of unnecessary or duplicate functions. The restructuring charge included only direct and incremental costs associated with the program. During the first quarter of 2000, the restructuring reserve was reduced by $11.0 million. The reduction was primarily in the severance portion of the reserve, reflecting a change in attrition assumptions. Management believes that the continuing strength of the California economy resulted in markedly higher attrition rates than the Company had originally anticipated, and as a consequence, lower expected severance payments resulting from Mission Excel position eliminations. 10 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2000 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) NOTE 6--RESTRUCTURING CHARGE (CREDIT) (CONTINUED) The table below provides details of the restructuring related liability.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE INDICATED. FOR A DISCUSSION OF FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER, PLEASE SEE THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN ON PAGE 33 AND IN OUR PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FILINGS AND PRESS RELEASES. INTRODUCTION We are a California-based commercial bank holding company with consolidated assets of $33.6 billion at March 31, 2000. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Bank of California, N.A., is the third largest commercial bank in California, based on total assets and total deposits in California, and one of the 30 largest commercial banks in the United States. At March 31, 2000, we operated 240 banking offices in California, 6 banking offices in Oregon and Washington, and 18 overseas facilities. At March 31, 2000, we were 64 percent owned by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. and 36 percent owned by other shareholders. Our interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current financial statement presentation. SUMMARY To facilitate the discussion of the results of operations, the following table includes certain pro forma earnings disclosures and ratios. These presentations supplement the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on page 3, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), primarily with respect to the treatment of the restructuring credit, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2000, as well as reflecting the taxable equivalent adjustment. Management believes that it is meaningful to understand the operating results and trends excluding this credit and, therefore, has included information in this table and in the MD&A which follows, that presents income excluding this item and related pro forma ratio and per share calculations. These proforma earnings have not been adjusted for any other non-recurring items that may impact our ratios or trends.
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ---------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 1999 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES.................................. $173,855 $242,149 Restructuring credit...................................... -- (11,000) Taxable equivalent adjustment.............................

- ------------------------ (1) Excludes the income tax credit of $4.145 million related to the restructuring credit. (2) The pro forma efficiency ratio is noninterest expense, excluding foreclosed asset income and restructuring charge, as a percentage of net interest income (taxable-equivalent) and noninterest income. Foreclosed asset income was $0.041 million in the first quarter of 1999 and $0.035 million in the first quarter of 2000. 12 Reported net income was $118.5 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 1999, compared with $158.5 million, or $0.96 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2000. Excluding the effects of the $11 million restructuring credit ($6.9 million net of tax), which was recorded in the first quarter of 2000, pro forma net earnings were $151.6 million, or $0.92 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2000, compared to $118.5 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 1999. This increase in pro forma diluted earnings per share of 33 percent over the first quarter of 2000 was due to a $12.7 million, or 9 percent, increase in noninterest income, a $45.5 million, or 13 percent, increase in net interest income (on a taxable-equivalent basis), and a $34.1 million, or 11 percent, decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $35.0 million increase in provision for credit losses and a 3 percentage point increase in the effective tax rate. Other highlights of the first quarter of 2000 include: - Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $386.2 million in the first quarter of 2000, an increase of $45.5 million, or 13 percent, over the first quarter of 1999. Net interest margin in the first quarter of 2000 was 5.20 percent, an increase of 37 basis points from the first quarter of 1999. - Noninterest income was $152.0 million in the first quarter of 2000, an increase of $12.7 million, or 9 percent, from the first quarter of 1999. Service charges on deposit accounts grew $7.9 million, or 20 percent, merchant banking fees increased $6.8 million, or 91 percent, and trust and investment management fees rose $6.5 million, or 20 percent These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other noninterest income of $8.7 million, or 42 percent. - A provision for credit losses of $40.0 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2000, compared with $5.0 million in the first quarter of 1999. This resulted from management's regular assessment of overall credit quality, loan portfolio composition and growth, business and economic conditions in relation to the level of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses was $447.9 million, or 446 percent of total nonaccrual loans, at March 31, 1999, compared with $483.2 million, or 335 percent of total nonaccrual loans, at March 31, 2000. - Noninterest expense, excluding the restructuring credit, was $267.0 million in the first quarter of 2000, a decrease of $34.1 million, or 11 percent, over the first quarter of 1999. Personnel-related expense decreased $28.5 million, or 17 percent, professional fees decreased $2.7 million, or 26 percent, and other noninterest expense decreased $5.3 million, or 9 percent. - The effective tax rates for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999 were 34 percent and 32 percent, respectively. During the first quarter of 1999, we recognized a tax benefit as the result of an IRS settlement of $6.3 million for refund claims we filed for the years 1992 through 1994. Excluding this tax benefit, our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1999 would have been 35 percent compared to 34 percent for the first quarter of 2000. - Reported return on average assets was 1.93 percent and return on average common equity was 21.14 percent for the quarter ending March, 31, 2000. In the first quarter of 2000, our pro forma return on average assets increased to 1.72 percent from 1.51 percent a year earlier, and our pro forma return on average common equity increased to 18.55 percent from 16.05 percent a year earlier. - Total loans at March 31, 2000 were $26.0 billion, an increase of $1.6 billion, or 7 percent, over March 31, 1999. - Nonperforming assets increased $36.8 million, or 34 percent, from March 31, 1999 to $146.6 million at March 31, 2000. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.44 percent at March 31, 2000, compared with 0.34 percent one year earlier. Total nonaccrual loans were $100.4 million at March 31, 1999, compared with $144.4 million at March 31, 2000, resulting in an increase in the ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans from 0.41 percent at March 31, 1999 to 0.56 percent at March 31, 2000. 13 - Our Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.90 percent and 11.86 percent, respectively, at March 31, 1999, compared with 10.11 percent and 11.96 percent, respectively, at March 31, 2000. Our leverage ratio was 9.78 percent at March 31, 1999 compared with 10.24 percent at March 31, 2000. MISSION EXCEL Mission Excel, a project begun in the second quarter 1999, is a company-wide initiative to slow the rate of growth of our expenses, increase sustainable growth in our revenues, and increase productivity through elimination of unnecessary or duplicate functions. The goal of this project is to help us achieve or exceed an efficiency ratio of 54% to 56% by the fourth quarter 2000. In connection with Mission Excel, we incurred an $85 million restructuring charge in the third quarter of 1999. The charge consisted of $70 million in personnel expense for approximately 1,400 employees to be severed under the plan. The remaining $15 million related to lease termination costs for 8 facilities that were to be vacated and professional services costs incurred in connection with Mission Excel. During the first quarter 2000, as part of our regular evaluation, we have reduced our restructuring reserve by $11 million. The reduction arose primarily in the severance portion of our reserve due to a change in the attrition assumptions that were used when we established the reserve. The continuing strength of the California economy, coupled with a tight labor market, resulted in a markedly higher attrition rate than we had originally anticipated. As a result, we have reduced the number of employees expected to be severed under the plan from 1,400 to 1,060. In addition, we have reduced our expected costs for redundant facilities and other expenses by $1 million due to our ability to sublet one location and to lower professional services costs. As we continue to evaluate the impact of the attrition assumptions utilized in estimating the severance reserve, further adjustments may be necessary. At the completion of the plan, we currently expect to sever approximately 1,060 employees who are not concentrated in any one group or class of staff. Of the total, 524 employees have been severed as of March 31, 2000 and the remaining 536 employees are expected to be severed in the next 3 quarters. Most of these employees will have been notified of their severance date by June 30, 2000. The following table presents the restructuring reserve for the period, the utilization and reduction of the reserve, and the resulting balance as of March 31, 2000.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS We segregate our operations into four primary business units for the purpose of management reporting, as shown in the table on the following pages. The results show the financial performance of our major business units. During the first quarter of 1999, we introduced a new method for measuring the contribution provided by each of our business units. The Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC) methodology seeks to attribute economic capital to business units consistent with the level of risk they assume. These risks are primarily credit risk, market risk and operational risk. Credit risk is the potential loss in economic value due to the likelihood that the obligor will not perform as agreed. Market risk is the potential loss in fair value due to changes in interest rates, currency rates and volatilities. Operational risk is the potential loss due to failures in internal control, system failures, or external events. 14 The following table reflects the condensed income statements, selected balance sheet items and selected financial ratios for each of our primary business units. The information presented does not necessarily represent the business units' financial condition and results of operations as if they were independent entities. Unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to US GAAP. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable with those presented by other companies. The significant changes in the RAROC measurement methodology concern the recognition of credit expense for expected losses arising from credit risk and the attribution of economic capital related to unexpected losses arising from credit, market and operational risks. Business unit results are based on an internal management reporting system used by management to measure the performance of the units and UnionBanCal Corporation as a whole. The management reporting system identifies balance sheet and income statement items to each business unit based on internal management accounting policies. Net interest income is determined using our internal funds transfer pricing system, which assigns a cost of funds to assets or a credit for funds to liabilities and capital, based on their type, maturity or repricing characteristics. Noninterest income and expense directly or indirectly attributable to a business unit are assigned to that business. We have restated the business units' results for the prior periods to reflect the new RAROC methodology, as well as any reorganizational changes that have occurred. 15

During 1999, and as part of the Mission Excel initiatives, we merged the Community Banking Group with the Trust and Private Financial Services Group to form the Community Banking and Investment Services Group. The merging of these two groups under one leadership provides our consumer and business client base with a full range of products and services through one coordinated and responsive delivery channel. It is expected that when this strategy is fully implemented, we will further improve customer service, increase revenues and lower expenses. In the first quarter of 2000, net income increased $25.9 million compared to the first quarter of 1999. Total revenue increased $26.1 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to a year ago. The revenue increases relate to higher net interest income, trust fees, investment management fees and brokerage commissions. Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2000 decreased $14.8 million from the prior year. Credit expense for the first quarter of 2000 decreased $1.1 million from a year ago. Organizational changes will continue in the near term as our strategy is implemented. However, at March 31, 2000, the group was divided into three major divisions: Community Banking, Wealth Management and Institutional Services, and Asset Management. COMMUNITY BANKING serves over one million consumer households and businesses through its 240 full-service branches in California, six full-service branches in Oregon and Washington, three full-service branches in Guam and Saipan and its network of over 425 proprietary ATMs. Customers may also access our services 24 hours a day by telephone or personal computer. In addition, the division offers automated teller and point-of-sale debit services through our founding membership in the Star System-Registered Trademark-, the largest shared ATM network in the Western United States. This division is organized by service delivery method, by markets and by geography. We serve our customers in the following ways: - Through community banking branches, which serve consumers and businesses with various types of indirect and direct financing, including auto leasing and residential real estate lending, - Through on-line access our internet banking services augment our physical delivery channels by providing a wide array of customer transaction, bill payment and loan payment services, - Through business banking centers, which serve businesses with sales up to $5 million, and - Through in-store branches, which also serve consumers and businesses. WEALTH MANAGEMENT provides private banking services to our affluent clientele as well as brokerage products and services. - The Private Bank focuses primarily on delivering integrated and customized financial services to high net worth individuals with sophisticated financial needs as well as to professional service firms. Specific products and services include trust and estate services, investment account management services, offshore trust services and customized deposit and credit products. The Private Bank's strategy is to expand its business by leveraging existing Bank client relationships, increasing its geographic market coverage and the breadth of its products and services. Through its 8 locations, the Private Bank relationship managers offerall of the Bank's available products and services. - Our brokerage products and services are provided through UBOC Investment Services, Inc., a registered broker/dealer offering a full line of investment products to individuals and institutional clients. Its primary strategy is to further penetrate our existing client base. 17 INSTITUTIONAL SERVICES AND ASSET MANAGEMENT provides investment management and administration services for a broad range of individuals and institutions. - HighMark Capital Management, Inc., a registered investment advisor, manages our proprietary HighMark family of mutual funds. It also provides investment management services to institutions, pension plans and individuals, including to clients of other divisions. HighMark Capital Management's strategy is to expand distribution of its mutual funds by targeting its marketing efforts at registered investment advisors and regional broker/dealers. In addition, HighMark Capital Management, Inc. is working with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. and other third parties to establish mutual funds offshore that HighMark will advise and which will be offered to non-U.S. investors. HighMark also serves as a sub-advisor for funds managed by Tokyo-Mitsubishi Asset Management, Ltd. in Japan. - Business Trust provides businesses, government agencies, unions and non-profit organizations with trustee services, investment management and 401(k) valuation and recordkeeping services. Business Trust's strategy is to expand its third-party distribution network to include insurance companies, investment managers, brokers and mutual funds. - Securities Services is engaged in domestic and global securities custody, safekeeping, mutual fund accounting, securities lending, and corporate trust services. Its client base includes financial institutions, businesses, government agencies, union, investment managers and non-profit organizations. Securities Services is the only West Coast based provider of a full range of institutional financial services. Through alliances with other financial institutions, the group offers additional products and services, such as credit cards, leasing, and asset-based and leveraged financing. The group competes with larger banks by providing service quality superior to that of its major competitors. We are recognized as among the highest rated banks in California for customer service quality and satisfaction. The group's primary means of competing with community banks include its large and convenient branch network and its reputation for innovative use of technology to deliver banking services. We have the fifth largest branch network among depository institutions in California. We also offer convenient banking hours to consumers through our drive-through banking locations and selected branches that are open seven days a week. The group competes with a number of commercial banks, internet banks, savings associations and credit unions, as well as more specialized financial service providers such as investment brokerage companies, consumer finance companies, and residential real estate lenders. The group's primary competitors are other major depository institutions such as Bank of America, California Federal, Washington Mutual and Wells Fargo, as well as smaller community banks in the markets in which we operate. COMMERCIAL FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP The Commercial Financial Services Group offers a variety of commercial financial services, including: - commercial and project loans, - real estate financing, - commercial financing based on accounts receivable, inventory, or other short term assets, - trade financing, which is the short-term extension of credit to support export/import transactions, including letters of credit, - lease financing, 18 - customized cash management services, and - selected capital markets products. The group's customers provide a significant source of opportunities for us to sell products and services of other units of the bank, including treasury, trust, and retail banking services. In the first quarter of 2000, net income increased $29.6 million compared to the first quarter of 1999. Total revenue in the first quarter of 2000 increased $47.2 million, due to the $2.5 billion growth in average loans and leases year over year, which contributed to the significant increase in net interest income accompanied by increases in fee income. Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2000 decreased $2.4 million. Credit expense in the first quarter of 2000 increased $5.5 million from a year ago, due to the loan growth mentioned above. The group is divided into the following business units, which serve specific markets and industries: - the Commercial Banking Group, which serves California middle-market companies and larger companies most often headquartered in the Western United States, - the Real Estate Industries Group, which serves real estate developers and real estate investment trusts, - the Specialized Lending Group, which serves companies operating in various industries, including oil and gas, utilities, media, communications, healthcare, finance, and retailing, and - the Institutional and Deposit Markets Group, which serves title and escrow companies, domestic financial institutions, retailers, bankruptcy trustees, and other customers with large pools of deposits. The Commercial Customer Service Unit supports these business units by providing centralized customer service support. The group competes with other banks primarily on the basis of its reputation as a "business bank," the quality of its relationship managers, and the delivery of superior customer service. We are recognized in California as having a superior "business banking" reputation relative to other large banks. We are also highly rated among financial institutions for our cash management services and systems. The group's main strategy is to target industries and companies for which the group can reasonably expect to be one of a customer's primary banks. Consistent with its strategy, the group attempts to serve a large part of its targeted customers' credit and depository needs. The group competes with a variety of other financial services companies. Competitors include other major California banks, as well as regional, national and international banks. In addition, we compete with investment banks, commercial finance companies, leasing companies, and insurance companies. INTERNATIONAL BANKING GROUP The International Banking Group mainly provides correspondent banking and trade finance-related products and services to international financial institutions worldwide, primarily in Asia. This includes providing products and services that facilitate trade finance transactions, including payments, collection and the extension of short-term credit. The group also serves selected foreign firms and U.S. corporate clients in selected countries worldwide, particularly in Asia. In the U.S., the group serves subsidiaries and affiliates of non-Japanese Asian companies and U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. The group also provides international services to domestic corporate clients along the West Coast. The group's revenue predominately relates to foreign customers. In the first quarter of 2000, net income increased $0.2 million compared to the first quarter of 1999. Total revenue in the first quarter of 2000 decreased $1.2 million due to continuing reductions in credit exposures, narrower credit spreads, and lower market pricings on those exposures. Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2000 decreased $1.5 million primarily due to personnel expenses. Credit expense in the first quarter of 2000 decreased $0.1 million 19 from a year ago, due to the reduction in credit exposures. Expected losses related to credit risk on foreign exposures have not been finalized and results could change in the future. The group has a long and stable history of providing correspondent and trade-related services to international financial institutions. We believe that we have achieved a leading market position and strong customer loyalty in the Asia/Pacific correspondent banking market because we provide high quality, customized products, and services at competitive prices. The group maintains branches in Tokyo, Taipei, Seoul, Manila and Hong Kong, representative offices in other parts of Asia and Latin America, and an international banking subsidiary in New York. One of the group's primary services is international trade finance. Trade finance is typically short-term, which means it generally has a lower credit risk. GLOBAL MARKETS GROUP The Global Markets Group conducts business activities primarily to support the previously described business groups and their customers. This group offers a broad range of risk management products, such as foreign exchange and interest rate swaps, caps and floors. Additionally, it places debt securities, including Union Bank of California, N.A.'s own liabilities, with institutional investors and trades debt instruments in the secondary market. This group also manages our market-related risks as part of its responsibilities for asset/liability management. The group is also responsible for maintaining Union Bank of California, N.A.'s securities portfolio. In the first quarter of 2000, net income decreased $10.6 million compared to the first quarter of 1999. Total revenue in the first quarter of 2000 decreased $19.3 million primarily due to the sale of securities in our portfolio in order to replace low yielding with higher yielding securities. Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2000 decreased $2.1 million largely due to personnel expense reductions. The group manages our securities portfolio, trading operations, wholesale funding needs, and interest rate and liquidity risk. The group includes products that support corporate lending, customer interest rate risk management needs and foreign exchange. OTHER "Other" includes the following items: - Corporate activities that are not directly attributable to one of the four major business units. Included in this category are goodwill and certain other non-recurring items such as restructuring charges (credits), merger and integration expense, certain parent company non-bank subsidiaries, and the elimination of the fully taxable-equivalent amounts. - The adjustment between the credit expense under RAROC and the provision for credit losses under US GAAP, the net impact of transfer pricing, and earnings associated with unallocated equity capital. - The Credit Management Group, which includes $172 million and $159 million of average nonperforming assets at March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. - The Pacific Rim Corporate Group, which offers a range of credit, deposit, and investment management products and services to companies in the U.S., which are affiliated with companies headquartered outside the U.S., mostly in Japan. - The residual costs of support groups. 20 NET INTEREST INCOME The table below shows the major components of net interest income and net interest margin.

- ------------------------------ (1) Yields and interest income are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent. (2) Average balances on loans outstanding include all nonperforming and renegotiated loans. The amortized portion of net loan origination fees (costs) is included in interest income on loans, representing an adjustment to the yield. (3) Foreign loans and deposits are those loans and deposits originated in foreign branches. 21 Net interest income is interest earned on loans and investments less interest expense on deposit accounts and borrowings. Primary factors affecting the level of net interest income include the margin between the yield earned on interest earning assets and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and composition of average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $340.7 million in the first quarter of 1999, compared with $386.2 million in the first quarter of 2000. This increase of $45.5 million, or 13 percent, was attributable primarily to a $1.2 billion, or 4 percent, increase in average earning assets, partially funded by a $346.5 million, or 4 percent, increase in average noninterest bearing deposits. In addition, the net interest margin was favorably impacted by the interest rate environment that contributed to higher yields on loans and other interest bearing assets, partially offset by higher rates on deposits and other average interest bearing liabilities, as well as a lower effective cost of funding the increased assets. The net interest margin increased 37 basis points to 5.20%. Average earning assets were $28.6 billion in the first quarter of 1999, compared with $29.8 billion in the first quarter of 2000. This growth was attributable to a $1.7 billion, or 7 percent, increase in average loans, partially offset by a $132.9 million, or 37 percent, decrease in average trading account assets and $427.2 million, or 12 percent decrease in average securities. The growth in average loans was mostly due to the increase in average commercial, financial and industrial loans of $974.8 million, real estate mortgage loans of $559.1 million, and real estate construction loans of $246.5 million, partially offset by lower average consumer loans of $153.0 million. Lower average trading account assets primarily resulted from the discontinuance of our municipal underwriting activity in April 1999. The decrease in average securities, which comprised primarily fixed rate available for sale securities, reflected liquidity and interest rate risk management actions. The higher interest rate environment resulted in higher yields on average earning assets of 74 basis points, partially offset by higher rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities of 52 basis points. The $976.5 million, or 5 percent, increase in average interest bearing liabilities over the first quarter of 1999 was due to an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $1.4 billion, primarily large time deposits. Average noninterest bearing deposits increased $346.5 million, or 4 percent, over the first quarter of 1999. NONINTEREST INCOME

- ------------------------ nm = not meaningful In the first quarter of 2000, noninterest income was $152.0 million, an increase of $12.7 million, or 9 percent, over the same period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to a $7.9 million increase in 22 service charges on deposit accounts, a $6.8 million increase in merchant banking fees, a $6.5 million increase in trust and investment management fees, a $3.8 million increase in brokerage commissions and fees, and a $2.6 million increase in merchant transaction processing fees, partially offset by a $9.7 million increase in assets losses and higher net securities losses of $5.6 million. Revenue from service charges on deposit accounts was $47.6 million, an increase of 20 percent over the first quarter of 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to a 5 percent increase in average deposits, higher overdraft fees due to a change in fee structure, and the expansion of several products and services. Trust and investment management fees were $38.8 million, an increase of 20 percent over the first quarter of 1999. The increase was due to growth in trust accounts and assets under management, some of which came from our purchase of Imperial Trust Company in the second quarter of 1999, which resulted in higher mutual fund management fees and higher institutional account fees. Merchant transaction processing fees were $17.1 million, an increase of 18 percent over the first quarter of 1999. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume of credit card drafts deposited by merchants, coupled with a higher merchant discount rate. Merchant banking fees were $14.2 million, an increase of 91 percent over the first quarter of 1999. The increase was primarily due to higher syndication and investment banking activities. Brokerage commissions and fees were $9.4 million, an increase of 69 percent over the first quarter of 1999. The increase was primarily due to brokerage commissions on sales of non-proprietary mutual funds, annuities, and insurance products and growth in corporate sweep products. Assets losses, net, were $7.9 million, an increase of $9.7 million over the first quarter of 1999. The increase was due to a $12.5 million charge related to residual auto lease valuations, partially off-set by a $4.1 million gain on sale of a property. Securities losses, net, were $4.3 million, an increase of $5.6 million over the first quarter of 1999. This increase was primarily due to the sale of certain low yielding securities in our portfolio in order to replace them with higher yielding securities. 23 NONINTEREST EXPENSE

- ------------------------ nm = not meaningful In the first quarter of 2000, noninterest expense, excluding the restructuring credit, was $267.0 million, a decrease of $34.1 million, or 11 percent, over the same period in 1999. This decrease was mostly due to a $12.4 million decrease in personnel-related expense, a $2.7 million decrease in professional services, a $1.7 million decrease in printing and office supplies, and a $2.0 million decrease in other noninterest expense. Personnel-related expense was $139.2 million, a decrease of 17 percent over the first quarter of 1999. This decrease was primarily due to the one-time credit for an accounting methodology change in recognizing pension expense of $16.0 million and personnel reductions achieved through Mission Excel, partially off-set by incentive and merit increases. Professional services were $8.0 million, a decrease of 26 percent over the first quarter of 1999. This decrease was primarily due to higher Y2K cost in the first quarter of 1999. Printing and office supplies expense was $5.0 million, a decrease of 26 percent over the first quarter of 1999 primarily due to Mission Excel efficiency achievements. INCOME TAX EXPENSE The effective tax rates for the first quarter of 1999 and 2000 were 32 percent and 34 percent, respectively. During the first quarter of 1999, we recognized a tax benefit as the result of an IRS settlement of $6.3 million for refund claims we filed for the years 1992 through 1994. Excluding this tax benefit, our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1999 would have been 35 percent compared to 34 percent for the first quarter of 2000. 24 LOANS The following table shows loans outstanding by loan type.

Our lending activities are predominantly domestic, with such loans comprising 96 percent of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2000. Total loans at March 31, 2000 were $26.0 billion, an increase of $1.6 billion, or 7 percent, over March 31, 1999. The increase was attributable to growth in the commercial, financial and industrial loan portfolio, which increased $907.5 million, the commercial mortgage loan portfolio, which increased $456.0 million, the construction loan portfolio, which increased $261.4 million, the lease financing loan portfolio, which increased $78.4 million, the residential mortgage loan portfolio, which increased $62.2 million, and the loans originated in foreign branches, which increased $25.4 million, partially offset by, the consumer loan portfolio, which decreased $159.5 million. Commercial, financial and industrial loans represent the largest category in the loan portfolio. These loans are extended principally to corporations, middle market businesses, and small businesses, with no industry concentration exceeding 10 percent of total commercial, financial and industrial loans. At March 31, 1999 and 2000, the commercial, financial and industrial loan portfolio was $13.4 billion, or 55 percent of total loans, and $14.3 billion, or 55 percent of total loans, respectively. The increase of $907.5 million, or 7 percent, from March 31, 1999 was primarily attributable to loans extended to businesses with revenues exceeding $20 million. The growth continued to reflect the results of initiatives to increase participation in larger syndicated loan positions as lead manager and as agent, especially in the communications, media, and entertainment and energy capital services industries in which we have developed specialized lending expertise. The construction loan portfolio totaled $535.0 million, or 2 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1999, compared with $796.4 million, or 3 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2000. This growth of $261.4 million, or 49 percent, from March 31, 1999 was primarily attributable to the favorable California real estate market coupled with a strong West Coast economy. Mortgage loans were $5.6 billion, or 23 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1999, compared with $6.1 billion, or 23 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2000. The mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans 25 on commercial and industrial projects and residential loans, secured by one-to-four family residential properties, primarily in California. The increase in commercial mortgage loans of $456.0 million, or 15 percent and in residential mortgage loans of $62.2 million, or 2 percent, from March 31, 1999, reflected both the favorable California real estate market and a strong West Coast economy. Consumer loans totaled $2.7 billion, or 11 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1999, compared with $2.6 billion, or 10 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2000. The decrease of $159.5 million, or 6 percent, was attributable to a reduction in home equity loans as customers refinanced, in the first half of last year,to take advantage of favorable long-term, fixed mortgage rates. Lease financing totaled $1.1 billion, or 4 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1999, compared with $1.1 billion, or 4 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2000. Loans originated in foreign branches totaled $1.1 billion, or 4 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1999 and $1.1 billion, or 4 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2000. CROSS-BORDER OUTSTANDINGS Our cross-border outstandings reflect certain additional economic and political risks that are not reflected in domestic outstandings. These risks include those arising from exchange rate fluctuations and restrictions on the transfer of funds. The following table sets forth our cross-border outstandings as of March 31, 1999, December 31, 1999, and March 31, 2000 for each country where such outstandings exceeded 1 percent of total assets. The cross-border outstandings were compiled based upon category and domicile of ultimate risk and are comprised of balances with banks, trading account assets, securities available for sale, securities purchased under resale agreements, loans, accrued interest receivable, acceptances outstanding and investments with foreign entities. The amounts outstanding for each country exclude local currency outstandings. For those individual countries shown in the table below, most of our local currency outstandings are hedged or are funded by local currency borrowings.

The economic condition and the ability of some countries, to which we have cross-border exposure, to manage their external debt obligations have been impacted by the Asian economic crisis that began in the second half of 1997. The Asian economic crisis appears to have stabilized somewhat, though the timing of full recovery is still uncertain. Our exposure in all affected countries continues to be primarily short-term in nature and substantially related to the finance of trade and, in the case of Japan, the provisions of short term working capital facilities to subsidiaries of Japanese companies operating in the United States. For further discussion on the actions taken by management to reduce our credit exposure in Asia, see "Allowance for Credit Losses" below. PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES We recorded a $5.0 million provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 1999, compared with a $40.0 million provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2000. Provisions for credit losses are charged 26 to income to bring our allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors discussed under "Allowance for Credit Losses" below. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES We maintain an allowance for credit losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on our regular, quarterly assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and to a lesser extent, unused commitments to provide financing. Our methodology for measuring the appropriate level of the allowance relies on several key elements, which include the formula allowance, specific allowances for identified problem loans and portfolio segments and the unallocated allowance. The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans and certain unused commitments, in each case based on the internal risk grade of such loans, pools of loans, leases and commitments. Changes in risk grades of both performing and nonperforming loans affect the amount of the formula allowance. Loss factors are based on our historical loss experience and may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management's judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. Loss factors are developed in the following ways: - Problem graded loan loss factors are derived from a migration model that tracks historical loss experience over a period we believe is reflective of a business cycle, - Pass graded loan loss factors are based on the average annual net charge-off rate over a period we believe is reflective of a business cycle, - Pooled loan loss factors (not individually graded loans) are based on expected net charge-offs for one year. Pooled loans are loans that are homogeneous in nature, such as consumer installment and residential mortgage loans and automobile leases. We believe that a business cycle is a period in which both upturns and downturns in the economy have been reflected. The current economic expansion has required us to extend our historical perspective to capture the highs and lows of a typical economic cycle. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a credit that management believes indicate the probability that a loss has been incurred. This amount may be determined either by a method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", or by a method which identifies certain qualitative factors. The unallocated allowance is composed of two elements. The first element consists of an amount between 20 percent to 25 percent of the total of the formula and specific allowances. This element recognizes the model and estimation risk associated with the formula and specific allowances. The second element is based upon management's evaluation of various conditions, the effects of which are not directly measured in the determination of the formula and specific allowances. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated allowance include the following, which existed at the balance sheet date: - General economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas, - Credit quality trends (including trends in nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions), - Collateral values, - Loan volumes and concentrations, - Seasoning of the loan portfolio, 27 - Specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, - Recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, - Duration of the current business cycle, - Bank regulatory examination results, and - Findings of our internal credit examiners. Executive management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussion with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management's estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance, applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management's evaluation of the probable loss related to such condition is reflected in the unallocated allowance. The allowance for credit losses is based upon estimates of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount actually observed for these losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts. Our methodology includes several features that are intended to reduce the differences between estimated and actual losses. The loss migration model that is used to establish the loan loss factors for problem graded loans is designed to be self-correcting by taking into account our recent loss experience. Similarly, by basing the pass graded loan loss factors over a period reflective of a business cycle, the methodology is designed to take our recent loss experience into account. Pooled loan loss factors are adjusted quarterly based upon the level of net charge-offs expected by management in the next twelve months. Furthermore, our methodology permits adjustments to any loss factor used in the computation of the formula allowance in the event that, in management's judgment, significant factors, which affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date, are not reflected in the loss factors. By assessing the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, we are able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates based upon the most recent information that has become available. COMPARISON OF THE TOTAL ALLOWANCE AND RELATED PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES FROM DECEMBER 31, 1999 At December 31, 1999, our allowance for credit losses was $470 million, or 1.82 percent of total loans, and 281 percent of total nonaccrual loans, compared with an allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2000 of $483 million, or 1.86 percent of total loans, and 335 percent of total nonaccrual loans. In addition, the allowance incorporates the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures". These accounting standards prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to impaired loans. At December 31, 1999, total impaired loans were $167.4 million and the associated impairment allowance was $42.4 million, compared with $144.4 million and $43.2 million, respectively, at March 31, 2000. During the first quarter of 2000, there were no changes in estimation methods or assumptions that affected our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses. Changes in assumptions regarding the effects of economic and business conditions on borrowers and other factors, which are described below, affected the assessment of the unallocated allowance. In our assessment as of March 31, 2000, management focused, in particular, on factors affecting elements of the health care, communications/media, and technology industries, and the continuing instability of companies and financial institutions in domestic and foreign markets in which we operate and the growth in, and changes in the composition of, the loan portfolio. 28 CHANGES IN THE FORMULA, SPECIFIC AND UNALLOCATED ALLOWANCES FROM DECEMBER 31, 1999 At March 31, 2000, the formula allowance was $289 million compared to $257 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of $32 million. This was primarily due to higher levels of criticized assets. At March 31, 2000, the specific allowance was $55 million compared to $51 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of $4 million. This was primarily caused by higher impairment allowances on our nonaccrual loans. At March 31, 2000, the unallocated allowance was $139 million compared to $162 million at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $23 million. Management believes that the inherent losses related to certain conditions considered in its evaluation of the unallocated allowance have improved moderately or have been recognized in the formula allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2000. At March 31, 2000, we had a $139 million unallocated allowance in our allowance for credit losses. In evaluating the appropriateness of the unallocated allowance, we considered the following factors: - the approximately $69 million to $86 million margin for model and estimation risk prescribed by our credit policy, - the effects of changes in the economic, regulatory, and technology environments on communications/media industry, which could be in the range of $6 million to $13 million, - the effects of export market conditions and cyclical overcapacity on borrowers in the technology industry, which could be in the range of $8 million to $15 million, - the continued effects of the instability in certain Asian countries on borrowers, which could be in the range of $14 million to $32 million, and - the adverse effects on the health care industry from reduced reimbursements from government medical insurance programs, which could be in the range of $10 million to $15 million. There can be no assurance that the adverse impact of any of these conditions on us will not be in excess of the ranges set forth above. See forward-looking statements on page 33. 29 CHANGE IN THE TOTAL ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in our allowance for credit losses.

- ------------------------ (1) Foreign loans are those loans originated in foreign branches. (2) Annualized. Total loans charged off in the first quarter of 2000 increased by $11.3 million from the first quarter of 1999, primarily due to a decrease in foreign loans charged off of $14.1 million mainly due to a single foreign relationship in the first quarter of 1999, partially offset by a $27.6 million increase in commercial, financial and industrial loans charged off, related to several large credits. Charge-offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were recognized previously through provisions for credit losses. The first quarter's recoveries of loans previously charged off increased by $0.5 million from the same period in 1999. The percentage of net loans charged off to average loans increased by .15 percent from the same period in 1999. At March 31, 2000, the allowance for credit losses exceeded the net loans charged off during the first quarter of 2000, reflecting management's belief, based on the foregoing analysis, that there are additional losses inherent in the portfolio. Historical net charge-offs are not necessarily indicative of the amount of net charge-offs that we will realize in the future. 30 NONPERFORMING ASSETS

At March 31, 2000, nonperforming assets totaled $146.6 million, an increase of $36.8 million, or 34 percent, from a year earlier. The increase was concentrated among several large credits in different industry sectors. Although the percentage increase is significant, the actual amount of nonperforming assets remains relatively low. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.56 percent at March 31, 2000, compared with 0.41 percent at March 31, 1999. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed assets increased to 0.44 percent at March 31, 2000 from 0.34 percent at March 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY Liquidity risk represents the potential for loss as a result of limitations on our ability to adjust our future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and to fund operations on a timely and cost-effective basis. The ALM Policy approved by the Board requires quarterly reviews of our liquidity by the ALCO, which is composed of bank senior executives. Our liquidity management draws upon the strengths of our extensive retail and commercial market business franchise, coupled with the ability to obtain funds for various terms in a variety of domestic and international money markets. Liquidity is managed through the funding and investment functions of the Global Markets Group. Core deposits provide us with a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. Our average core deposits, which include demand deposits, money market demand accounts, and savings and consumer time deposits, combined with average common shareholders' equity, funded 66 percent of average total assets of $33.0 billion for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000. Most of the remaining funding was provided by short-term borrowings in the form of negotiable certificates of deposit, foreign deposits, 31 federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, commercial paper and other borrowings. In the first quarter of 1999, we issued $350 million in trust preferred securities the proceeds of which were utilized to repurchase our common stock. Liquidity may also be provided by the sale or maturity of assets. Such assets include interest bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, and trading account securities. The aggregate of these assets averaged $0.6 billion during the first quarter of 2000. Additional liquidity may be provided by investment securities available for sale that amounted to $3.2 billion at March 31, 2000, and by loan maturities.

- ------------------------ (1) Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets (excluding certain intangible assets). 32 We and Union Bank of California, N.A. are subject to various regulations issued by federal banking agencies, including minimum capital requirements. We and Union Bank of California, N.A. are required to maintain minimum ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets (the leverage ratio). Compared with December 31, 1999, our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at March 31, 2000 increased 17 basis points to 10.11 percent, our total risk-based capital ratio increased 17 basis points to 11.96 percent, and our leverage ratio increased 14 basis points to 10.24 percent. The increases in the capital ratios were primarily attributable to higher money market assets of $140.0 million. As of March 31, 2000, management believes the capital ratios of Union Bank of California, N.A. met all regulatory minimums of a "well-capitalized" institution. YEAR 2000 We achieved a successful transition to the Year 2000. In addition to successful processing over the year-end period, daily, month-end and quarter-end operations have also been normal. We have largely completed the extensive effort that made this possible. The total cost of the Year 2000 Program is $44 million. This cost includes capital expenditures, which we have capitalized and which are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives. As of March 31, 2000, we have spent $44 million on the year 2000 project, $2 million in 1997, $22 million in 1998, $17 million in 1999 and $3 million in 2000. Of the $44 million spent as of March 31, 2000, $7 million related to capital expenditures, $1 million in 1997, $5 million in 1998, and $1 million in 1999. We have funded the cost of the year 2000 Program with normal operating cash and staffed it with external resources as well as internal staff re-deployed from other assignments. OTHER RELATED DISCLOSURES HighMark Capital Management, Inc. is a registered investment advisor and UBOC Investment Services, Inc. is a broker-dealer. Each of these subsidiaries makes publicly available separate year 2000 reports. You can find additional year 2000 information in those reports. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Our management frequently makes forward-looking statements in Securities and Exchange Commission filings, such as this one, press releases, news articles, conference calls with Wall Street analysts and when we are speaking on behalf of UnionBanCal Corporation. The forward-looking statements we make are intended to provide investors with additional information with which they may assess our future potential. All of these forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about an uncertain future. There are numerous factors that could and will cause actual results to differ from those discussed in our forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict and could have a material adverse effect on our stock price, financial position, or results of operations. Some, but not all, of these factors are discussed below. ADVERSE CALIFORNIA ECONOMIC CONDITIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS A substantial majority of our assets and deposits are generated in California. As a result, poor economic conditions in California may cause us to incur losses associated with higher default rates and decreased collateral values in our loan portfolio. In the early 1990's, the California economy experienced an economic recession that resulted in increases in the level of delinquencies and losses for us and many of the state's other financial institutions. If California were to experience another recession, it is expected that our level of problem assets would increase accordingly. The current economic crisis in Asia is expected to continue to negatively impact the economic conditions in California, which could adversely affect our business. 33 ADVERSE ECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING CERTAIN INDUSTRIES COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR ABILITY TO MAKE PAYMENTS TO US We are also subject to certain industry-specific economic factors. For example, a portion of our total loan portfolio is related to real estate obligations, and a portion of our recent growth has been fueled by the general real estate recovery in California. Accordingly, a downturn in the real estate industry in California could have an adverse effect on our operations. Similarly, a portion of our total loan portfolio is to borrowers in the agricultural industry. Adverse weather conditions, combined with low commodity prices, may adversely affect the agricultural industry and, consequently, may impact our business negatively. FLUCTUATIONS IN INTEREST RATES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS Significant increases in market interest rates, or the perception that an increase may occur, could adversely affect both our ability to originate new loans and our ability to grow. Conversely, a decrease in interest rates could result in an acceleration in the prepayment of loans. In addition, changes in market interest rates, or changes in the relationships between short-term and long-term market interest rates, or changes in the relationships between different interest rate indices, could affect the interest rates charged on interest earning assets differently than the interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. This difference could result in an increase in interest expense relative to interest income. An increase in market interest rates also could adversely affect the ability of our floating-rate borrowers to meet their higher payment obligations. If this occurred, it could cause an increase in nonperforming assets and charge-offs, which could adversely affect our business. SHAREHOLDER VOTES ARE CONTROLLED BY THE BANK OF TOKYO-MITSUBISHI, LTD. A majority of our directors are not officers or employees of UnionBanCal Corporation or any of our affiliates, including The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. However, because of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's control over the election of our directors, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi could change the composition of our Board of Directors so that the Board would not have a majority of outside directors. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. owns a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi can elect all of our directors and as a result can control the vote on all matters, including determinations such as: approval of mergers or other business combinations; sales of all or substantially all of our assets; any matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders; issuance of any additional common stock or other equity securities; incurrence of debt other than in the ordinary course of business; the selection and tenure of our Chief Executive Officer; payment of dividends with respect to common stock or other equity securities; and matters that might be favorable to The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's ability to prevent an unsolicited bid for us or any other change in control could have an adverse effect on the market price for our common stock. THE BANK OF TOKYO-MITSUBISHI'S FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS Although we fund our operations independently of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi and believe our business is not necessarily closely related to The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's business or outlook, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's credit ratings may affect our credit ratings. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's credit ratings were downgraded in October 1998 by Standard and Poor's Corporation and are currently on Moody's Investors Service, Inc.'s credit watch with negative implications. Any future downgrading of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's credit rating could adversely affect our credit ratings. Therefore, as long as The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi maintains a majority interest in us, deterioration in The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's financial condition could result in an increase in our borrowing costs and could impair our access to the public and private capital markets. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi is also subject to regulatory oversight and review. Our business operations and expansion plans could be negatively affected by regulatory concerns related to the Japanese financial system and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. 34 POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH THE BANK OF TOKYO-MITSUBISHI, LTD. COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US As part of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's normal risk management processes, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi manages global credit exposures and concentrations on an aggregate basis, including us. Therefore, at certain levels, our ability to approve certain credits and categories of customers is subject to concurrence by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. We may wish to extend credit to the same customer as The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. Our ability to do so may be limited for various reasons, including The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's aggregate credit exposure and marketing policies. Certain directors' and officers' ownership interests in The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's common stock or service as a director or officer or other employee of both us and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi could create or appear to create potential conflicts of interest, especially since both of us compete in the United States banking industry. SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION IN THE CALIFORNIA BANKING MARKET COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US Banking is a highly competitive business. We compete actively for loan, deposit, and other financial services business in California, as well as nationally and internationally. Our competitors include a large number of state and national banks, thrift institutions and major foreign-affiliated or foreign banks, as well as many financial and non-financial firms that offer services similar to those offered by us. Some of our competitors are community banks that have strong local market positions. Other competitors include large financial institutions (such as Bank of America, California Federal, Washington Mutual, and Wells Fargo) that have substantial capital, technology and marketing resources. Such large financial institutions may have greater access to capital at a lower cost than us, which may adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. In addition, there have been a number of recent mergers involving financial institutions located in California. Some of the merged banks, such as Norwest/Wells Fargo, employ a strong community-based banking model of doing business that may increase competition with our distinctive combination of traditional community bank service coupled with a large branch network. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS COULD LIMIT AMOUNTS PAYABLE TO US A substantial portion of our cash flow typically comes from dividends our bank and nonbank subsidiaries pay to us. Various statutory provisions restrict the amount of dividends our subsidiaries can pay to us without regulatory approval. In addition, if any of our subsidiaries liquidates, that subsidiary's creditors will be entitled to receive distributions from the assets of that subsidiary to satisfy their claims against it before we, as a holder of an equity interest in the subsidiary, will be entitled to receive any of the assets of the subsidiary. If, however, we are a creditor of the subsidiary with recognized claims against it, we would be in the same position. ADVERSE EFFECTS OF BANKING REGULATIONS OR CHANGES IN BANKING REGULATIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US We are subject to significant federal and state regulation and supervision, which is primarily for the benefit and protection of our customers and not for the benefit of investors. In the past, our business has been materially affected by these regulations. This trend is likely to continue in the future. Laws, regulations or policies currently affecting us and our subsidiaries may change at any time. Regulatory authorities may also change their interpretation of these statutes and regulations. Therefore, our business may be adversely affected by any future changes in laws, regulations, policies or interpretations. Additionally, our international activities may be subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where business is being conducted. International laws, regulations and policies affecting us and our subsidiaries may change at any time and affect our business opportunities and competitiveness in these jurisdictions. Due to The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's controlling ownership of us, laws, regulations and policies adopted or enforced by the Government of Japan may adversely affect our activities and investments and those of our subsidiaries in the future. Under long-standing policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength for its subsidiary banks. As a result of that policy, we may be required to commit financial and other resources to our subsidiary bank in circumstances where we might not otherwise do so. 35 POSSIBLE FUTURE SALES OF SHARES BY THE BANK OF TOKYO-MITSUBISHI, LTD. COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK Although The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi has announced its intention to maintain its majority ownership in us, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi may sell shares of our common stock in compliance with the federal securities laws. By virtue of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's current control of us, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi could sell large amounts of shares of our common stock by causing us to file a registration statement that would allow them to sell shares more easily. In addition, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi could sell shares of our common stock without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Although we can make no prediction as to the effect, if any, that such sales would have on the market price of our common stock, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect our market price. If The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi sells or transfers shares of our common stock as a block, another person or entity could become our controlling shareholder. STRATEGIES In connection with our strategic repositioning, we have developed long-term financial performance goals, which we expect to result from successful implementation of our operating strategies. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in achieving these long-term goals or that our operating strategies will be successful. Achieving success in these areas is dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our direct control. Factors that may adversely affect our ability to attain our long-term financial performance goals include: - deterioration of our asset quality, - our inability to reduce noninterest expenses, - our inability to increase noninterest income, - our inability to decrease reliance on asset revenues, - our ability to sustain loan growth, - regulatory and other impediments associated with making acquisitions, - deterioration in general economic conditions, especially in our core markets, - decreases in net interest margins, - increases in competition, - adverse regulatory or legislative developments, - unexpected increases in costs related to potential acquisitions, and - unexpected increased costs associated with implementation of our efficiency improvement project. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS OR DIVESTITURES OR RESTRUCTURING We may acquire or invest in companies, technologies, services or products that complement our business. In addition, we continue to evaluate performance of all of our businesses and business lines and may sell a business or business lines. Any acquisitions, divestitures or restructuring may result in potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities, significant write-offs, the amortization of expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets and/or the incurrence of debt, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Acquisitions, divestitures or restructuring 36 could involve numerous additional risks including difficulties in the assimilation or separation of operations, services, products and personnel, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, the disruption of our business, and the potential loss of key employees. There can be no assurance that we would be successful in overcoming these or any other significant risks encountered. WE MIGHT BE UNABLE TO RECRUIT OR RETAIN NECESSARY PERSONNEL, WHICH COULD SLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BUSINESS. Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our key managerial, marketing and technical personnel. We are dependent both on our ability to retain and motivate our key personnel and to attract new personnel. However, the labor markets in California are extremely tight and we cannot be sure that we will be able to attract, motivate and retain such personnel. Competition for qualified personnel in California is intense both within our industry and other industry sectors, including high technology. Competitors and others, including high technology companies, have in the past and may in the future attempt to recruit our employees. Inability to attract, retain and motivate the personnel necessary to support the growth of our business could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
