See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 7 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (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 September 30, 2003 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2002. 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. UnionBanCal Corporation is a commercial bank holding company and has, as its major subsidiary, a banking subsidiary, Union Bank of California, N.A. (the Bank). The Company provides a wide range of financial services to consumers, small businesses, middle-market companies and major corporations, primarily in California, Oregon, and Washington, but also nationally and internationally. Since November 1999, the Company has announced stock repurchase plans totaling $500 million and as of September 30, 2003 has expended $385 million. The Company repurchased $86 million and $45 million of common stock in 2002 and the first nine months of 2003, respectively, as part of these repurchase plans. As of September 30, 2003, $115 million of the Company's common stock is authorized for repurchase. In addition, the Company purchased $600 million of its common stock, $300 million in August 2002 and $300 million in September 2003, from its majority owner, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. (BTM), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. At September 30, 2003, BTM owned approximately 63 percent of the Company's outstanding common stock. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current financial statement presentation. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION-TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure," which amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure requirements to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The disclosure requirements under this Statement are effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002. As allowed under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended, the Company has chosen to continue to recognize compensation expense using the intrinsic value-based method of valuing stock options 8 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (Unaudited) NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued) prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations. Under the intrinsic value-based method, compensation cost is measured as the amount by which the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant exceeds the stock option exercise price. At September 30, 2003, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans. For further discussion concerning our stock-based employee compensation plans see Note 14--"Management Stock Plan" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2002. Only restricted stock awards have been reflected in compensation expense, while all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.
THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, --------------------- --------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 2002 2003 2002 2003 --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- AS REPORTED NET INCOME................................... $138,231 $155,045 $382,950 $435,320 Stock option-based employee compensation expense (determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of taxes).......................... (5,778) (6,479) (15,696) (18,962) -------- -------- -------- -------- Pro forma net income, after stock option-based employee compensation expense........................... $132,453 $148,566 $367,254 $416,358 ======== ======== ======== ======== EARNINGS PER SHARE--BASIC As reported.............................................. $ 0.89 $ 1.04 $ 2.45 $ 2.90 Pro forma................................................ $ 0.86 $ 0.99 $ 2.35 $ 2.77 EARNINGS PER SHARE--DILUTED As reported.............................................. $ 0.88 $ 1.02 $ 2.43 $ 2.87 Pro forma................................................ $ 0.85 $ 0.98 $ 2.33 $ 2.75
Compensation cost associated with the Company's unvested restricted stock issued under the management stock plan is measured based on the market price of the stock at the grant date and is expensed over the vesting period. Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards for the third quarters and the first nine months of 2002 and 2003 was not significant. NOTE 2--RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging 9 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (Unaudited) NOTE 2--RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued) Activities." The changes in this Statement improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after September 30, 2003, except as stated below, and for hedging relationships designated after September 30, 2003. All provisions of SFAS No. 149 should be applied prospectively. The provisions of SFAS No. 149 that relate to SFAS No. 133 implementation issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, will be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. In addition, the provisions of SFAS No. 149, which relate to forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not exist, will be applied to both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after September 30, 2003. Management believes that adoption of the provisions of this Statement will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH LIABILITIES AND EQUITY In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." The Statement establishes standards for how the Company should classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The new standards for the classification and measurement of financial instruments should be applied retroactively. Any gain or loss resulting from the implementation of SFAS No. 150 will be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. ACCOUNTING FOR GUARANTORS AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR GUARANTEES, INCLUDING INDIRECT GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS OF OTHERS In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 expands on the accounting guidance of Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and incorporates without change the provisions of FIN 34, which is superseded. FIN 45 elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees and requires that guarantors recognize a liability for the fair value of guarantees at inception. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. A complete description of significant guarantees that have been entered into by the Company may be found in "Note 7-- Guarantees." Adopting the measurement provisions of FIN 45 did not have a material impact at the adoption date and management believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company's future financial position or results of operations. 10 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (Unaudited) NOTE 2--RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued) CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The purpose of this interpretation is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (VIE) and determine when the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company's consolidated financial statements. A company that holds variable interests in an entity will need to consolidate that entity if the company's interest in the VIE is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIE's expected losses and/or receive a majority of the VIE's expected residual returns, if they occur. New disclosure requirements are also prescribed by FIN 46. On October 9, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FIN 46-6 deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46. The Company need not apply the provisions of FIN 46 to an interest held in a VIE created before February 1, 2003 until December 31, 2003. As of September 30, 2003, management believes the Company does not have any VIE's for which this interpretation would require consolidation. However, under FIN 46, the Company's subsidiary, which issued trust preferred securities, will be deconsolidated. Deconsolidation of this entity in the fourth quarter of 2003 will cause total assets and total liabilities to increase by approximately $10.8 million with no change to the Company's results of operations. For additional information on recently issued accounting pronouncements and other significant accounting principles, see Note 1--"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2002. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003.

NOTE 5--BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company is organized based on the products and services that it offers and operates in four principal areas: o The Community Banking and Investment Services Group offers a range of banking services, primarily to individuals and small businesses, delivered generally through a tri-state network of branches and ATM's. These services include commercial loans, mortgages, home equity lines of credit, consumer loans, cash management and deposit services, as well as fiduciary, private banking, investment and asset management services for individuals and institutions, and risk management and insurance products for businesses and individuals. o The Commercial Financial Services Group provides credit and cash management and deposit services to large corporate and middle market companies. Services include commercial and project loans, real estate financing, asset-based financing, trade finance and letters of credit, lease financing, cash management services and selected capital markets products. o The International Banking Group provides correspondent banking and trade-finance products and services to financial institutions. The group's revenue predominately relates to foreign customers. o The Global Markets Group manages the Company's wholesale funding needs, securities portfolio, and interest rate and liquidity risks. The group also offers a broad range of risk management and 12 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (Unaudited) NOTE 5--BUSINESS SEGMENTS (Continued) trading products to institutional and business clients of the Company through the businesses described above. The information, set forth in the tables on the following pages, reflects selected income statement and balance sheet items by business unit. The information presented does not necessarily represent the business units' financial condition and results of operations were they 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 these tables is derived from the internal management reporting system used by management to measure the performance of the business segments and the Company overall. The management reporting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business 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 business segment are assigned to that business. Certain indirect costs, such as operations and technology expense, are allocated to the segments based on studies of billable unit costs for product or data processing. Other indirect costs, such as corporate overhead, are allocated to the business segments based on a predetermined percentage of usage. Under the Company's risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) methodology, credit expense is charged to business segments 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" includes the following items: o corporate activities that are not directly attributable to one of the four major business units. Included in this category are certain other nonrecurring items such as merger and integration expense, certain parent company non-bank subsidiaries, and the elimination of the fully taxable- equivalent basis amount; o the adjustment between the credit expense under RAROC and the provision for credit losses under US GAAP and earnings associated with unallocated equity capital; o the adjustment between the tax expense calculated under RAROC using a tax rate of 38.25 percent and the Company's effective tax rates; o the Pacific Rim Corporate Group, with assets at September 30, 2003 of $295 million, which offers a range of credit, deposit, and investment management products and services to companies in the US, which are affiliated with companies headquartered in Japan; and o the residual costs of support groups. 13 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (Unaudited) NOTE 5--BUSINESS SEGMENTS (Continued) The business units' results for the prior periods have been restated to reflect certain transfer pricing changes and any reorganization changes that may have occurred.

NOTE 6--DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS USED FOR HEDGING Derivative positions are integral components of the Company's designated asset and liability management activities. The Company uses interest rate derivatives to manage the sensitivity of the Company's net interest income to changes in interest rates. These instruments are used to manage interest rate risk relating to specified groups of assets and liabilities, primarily LIBOR-based commercial loans, certificates of deposit, trust preferred securities and medium-term notes. 15 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (Unaudited) NOTE 6--DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS USED FOR HEDGING (Continued) CASH FLOW HEDGES HEDGING STRATEGIES FOR VARIABLE RATE LOANS AND CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT The Company engages in several types of cash flow hedging strategies for which the hedged transactions are forecasted future loan interest payments, and the hedged risk is the variability in those payments due to changes in the designated benchmark rate, e.g., US dollar LIBOR. In these strategies, the hedging instruments are matched with groups of variable rate loans such that the tenor of the variable rate loans and that of the hedging instrument is identical. Cash flow hedging strategies include the utilization of purchased floor, cap, corridor options and interest rate swaps. At September 30, 2003, the weighted average life of these cash flow hedges is approximately 1.6 years. The Company uses purchased interest rate floors to hedge the variable cash flows associated with 1-month LIBOR or 3-month LIBOR indexed loans. Payments received under the floor contract offset the decline in loan interest income caused by the relevant LIBOR index falling below the floor's strike rate. The Company uses interest rate floor corridors to hedge the variable cash flows associated with 1-month LIBOR or 3-month LIBOR indexed loans. Net payments to be received under the floor corridor contracts offset the decline in loan interest income caused by the relevant LIBOR index falling below the corridor's upper strike rate, but only to the extent the index falls to the lower strike rate. The corridor will not provide protection from declines in the relevant LIBOR index to the extent it falls below the corridor's lower strike rate. The Company uses interest rate collars to hedge the variable cash flows associated with 1-month LIBOR or 3-month LIBOR indexed loans. Net payments to be received under the collar contracts offset the decline in loan interest income caused by the relevant LIBOR index falling below the collar's strike rate while net payments to be paid will reduce the increase in loan interest income caused by the LIBOR index rising above the collar's cap strike rate. The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variable cash flows associated with 1-month LIBOR or 3-month LIBOR indexed loans. Payments to be received (or paid) under the swap contracts will offset the fluctuations in loan interest income caused by changes in the relevant LIBOR index. As such, these instruments hedge all fluctuations in the loans' interest income caused by changes in the relevant LIBOR index. The Company uses purchased interest rate caps and cap corridors to hedge the variable interest cash flows associated with the forecasted issuance and rollover of short-term, fixed rate negotiable certificates of deposit (CDs). In these hedging relationships, the Company hedges the LIBOR component of the CD rates, which is either 3-month LIBOR or 6-month LIBOR, based on the CD's original term to maturity, which reflects their repricing frequency. Net payments to be received under these cap contracts offset the increase in interest expense caused by the relevant LIBOR index rising above the caps' strike rates. Cap corridors will not provide protection from increases in the relevant LIBOR index to the extent it rises above the cap corridor's upper strike rate. Hedging transactions are structured at inception so that the notional amounts of the hedge are matched with an equal principal amount of loans or CDs, the index and repricing frequencies of the hedge 16 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (Unaudited) NOTE 6--DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS USED FOR HEDGING (Continued) matches those of the loans or CDs, and the period in which the designated hedged cash flows occurs is equal to the term of the hedge. As such, most of the ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship results from the mismatch between the timing of reset dates on the hedge versus those of the loans or CDs. In the third quarter of 2003, the Company recognized a net gain of less than $0.1 million due to ineffectiveness, which is recognized in noninterest expense, compared to a net gain of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2002. FAIR VALUE HEDGES HEDGING STRATEGY FOR UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION--OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY GRANTOR TRUST (TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES) The Company engages in an interest rate hedging strategy in which an interest rate swap is associated with a specific interest bearing liability, UnionBanCal Corporation's Trust Preferred Securities, in order to convert the liability from a fixed rate to a floating rate instrument. This strategy mitigates the changes in fair value of the hedged liability caused by changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, US dollar LIBOR. Fair value hedging transactions are structured at inception so that the notional amounts of the swap match an associated principal amount of the Trust Preferred Securities. The interest payment dates, the expiration date, and the embedded call option of the swap match those of the Trust Preferred Securities. The ineffectiveness on the fair value hedges in the third quarter of 2003 resulted in a net gain of less than $0.1 million, compared to a net loss of less than $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2002. HEDGING STRATEGY FOR MEDIUM-TERM NOTES The Company engages in an interest rate hedging strategy in which an interest rate swap is associated with a specified interest bearing liability, UnionBanCal Corporation's five-year, medium-term debt, in order to convert the liability from a fixed rate to a floating rate instrument. This strategy mitigates the changes in fair value of the hedged liability caused by changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, US dollar LIBOR. The fair value hedging transaction for the medium-term notes was structured at inception to mirror all of the provisions of the medium-term notes, which allows the Company to assume that no ineffectiveness exists. OTHER The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts as a means of managing foreign exchange rate risk associated with assets and/or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Company values the forward contracts, the assets and/or the liabilities at fair value, with the resultant gain or loss recognized in noninterest income. The Company uses To-Be-Announced (TBA) contracts to fix the price and yield of anticipated purchases or sales of mortgage-backed securities that will be delivered at an agreed upon date. This strategy hedges the risk of variability in the cash flows to be paid or received upon settlement of the TBA contract. 17 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (Unaudited) NOTE 7--GUARANTEES Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, while commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate foreign or domestic trade transactions. The majority of these types of commitments have terms of one year or less. Collateral may be obtained based on management's credit assessment of the customer. As of September 30, 2003, the Company's maximum exposure to loss for standby and commercial letters of credit is $2.9 billion and $228.1 million, respectively. At September 30, 2003, the carrying value of the Company's standby and commercial letters of credit, which is included in "Other liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, total $5.8 million. The Company has contingent consideration agreements that guarantee additional payments to acquired insurance agencies' shareholders based on the agencies' future performance in excess of established revenue and/or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) thresholds. If the insurance agencies' future performance exceeds these thresholds during a three-year period, the Company will be liable to make payments to former shareholders. As of September 30, 2003, the Company has a maximum exposure of $10.5 million for these agreements, which expire March 2006. The Company is fund manager for limited liability corporations issuing low-income housing investments. Low-income housing investments provide tax benefits to investors in the form of tax deductions from operating losses and tax credits. To facilitate the sale of these investments, the Company guarantees the timely completion of projects and delivery of tax benefits throughout the investment term. Guarantees may include a minimum rate of return, the availability of tax credits, and operating deficit thresholds over a ten-year average period. Additionally, the Company receives project completion and tax credit guarantees from the limited liability corporations issuing the investments that reduce the Company's ultimate exposure to loss. As of September 30, 2003, the Company's maximum exposure to loss under these guarantees is limited to a return of investor capital and minimum investment yield, or $77.0 million. The Company maintains a liability of $3.0 million for these guarantees. The Company has guarantees that obligate it to perform if its affiliates are unable to discharge their obligations. These obligations include guarantee of trust preferred securities, commercial paper obligations and leveraged lease transactions. Guarantees issued by the Bank for an affiliate's commercial paper program are done in order to facilitate their sale. As of September 30, 2003, the Bank had a maximum exposure to loss under these guarantees, which have an average term of less than one year, of $698.2 million. The Bank's guarantee is fully collateralized by a pledged deposit. UnionBanCal Corporation guarantees its subsidiaries' leveraged lease transactions, which have terms ranging from 15 to 30 years. Following the original funding of the leveraged lease transactions, UnionBanCal Corporation has no material obligation to be satisfied. As of September 30, 2003, UnionBanCal Corporation had no exposure to loss for these agreements. NOTE 8--ACQUISITIONS On July 1, 2003, the Company completed its acquisition of Monterey Bay Bank, a savings and loan association headquartered in Watsonville, California and recorded approximately $34 million in goodwill 18 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (Unaudited) NOTE 8--ACQUISITIONS (Continued) and approximately $8 million in core deposit intangibles. The core deposit intangibles will be amortized on an accelerated basis over their economic useful life of a weighted average 5 years. NOTE 9--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND PENDING ACQUISITIONS On September 25, 2003, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Business Bancorp, the parent company of Business Bank of California, a $676 million asset commercial bank headquartered in San Bernardino, California. Business Bank of California has approximately 235 employees and 15 full-service branches in two distinct markets: the Southern California Inland Empire and the San Francisco Bay Area. The Company will pay between approximately $117.7 million and $134.9 million in cash and common stock. The transaction is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2004. On October 22, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on January 2, 2004 to shareholders of record as of December 5, 2003. On October 24, 2003, UnionBanCal Corporation filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with an offer to be made to current and former participants in the Union Bank of California 401(k) Plan to rescind the previous purchases made with salary deferral or rollover or after-tax contributions within the Plan from October 24, 2002 through October 23, 2003, of up to 450,775 shares of UnionBanCal Corporation common stock. UnionBanCal Corporation is conducting the rescission offer because it has determined that these shares of UnionBanCal Corporation common stock may not have been registered in a timely manner under the Securities Act of 1933. Management does not believe that, based on our current estimates, the amount required to fund payments under the rescission offer will be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. During October and November 2003, Southern California suffered extensive wildfires in the Counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, San Diego, San Bernardino and Riverside. These wildfires burned nearly 750,000 acres and damaged or destroyed more than 3,500 homes and other properties. The fires have now been contained. Based upon the information currently available, including the effect that these wildfires have had on the Company's Southern California facilities and operations, and on collateral securing loans made by the Bank in the affected areas, management does not believe that wildfire related losses will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 19 ITEM 2.

INTRODUCTION We are a California-based, commercial bank holding company with consolidated assets of $42.6 billion at September 30, 2003. On September 30, 2003, UnionBanCal Corporation changed its state of incorporation from California to Delaware. At September 30, 2003, Union Bank of California, N.A. (the Bank) was the fourth largest commercial bank in California, based on total assets and total deposits in California. UnionBanCal Corporation and its banking subsidiary, Union Bank of California, N.A., were created on April 1, 1996, by the combination of Union Bank with BanCal Tri-State Corporation and its banking subsidiary, The Bank of California, N.A. The combination was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, similar to a pooling of interests. Since November 1999, we have announced stock repurchase plans totaling $500 million and as of September 30, 2003 we have expended $385 million. We repurchased $86 million and $45 million of common stock in 2002 and the first nine months of 2003, respectively, as part of these repurchase plans. As of September 30, 2003, $115 million of our common stock is authorized for repurchase. In addition, we purchased $600 million of our common stock, $300 million in August 2002 and $300 million in September 2003, from our majority owner, BTM. At September 30, 2003, BTM owned approximately 63 percent of our outstanding common stock. 20 SUMMARY COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 Net income was $155.0 million, or $1.02 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2003, compared with $138.2 million, or $0.88 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2002. This increase in diluted earnings per share of $0.14, or 16 percent, above the third quarter of 2002 was due to a $32.4 million, or 19 percent, increase in noninterest income, a $20.0 million, or 50 percent, decrease in provision for credit losses, and a $9.1 million, or 2 percent, increase in net interest income (on a taxable-equivalent basis), offset by a $31.0 million, or 10 percent, increase in noninterest expense, coupled with a decrease in weighted average shares outstanding from share repurchases. Other highlights of the third quarter of 2003 include: o Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $401.7 million in the third quarter of 2003, an increase of $9.1 million, or 2 percent, over the third quarter of 2002. Net interest margin in the third quarter of 2003 was 4.22 percent, a decrease of 55 basis points from the third quarter of 2002. o A provision for credit losses of $20.0 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2003 compared with $40.0 million in the third quarter of 2002. This resulted from management's regular assessment of overall credit quality, loan portfolio composition, and business and economic conditions in relation to the level of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses was $550.6 million, or 161 percent of total nonaccrual loans, at September 30, 2003, compared with $623.1 million, or 158 percent of total nonaccrual loans, at September 30, 2002. o Noninterest income was $201.5 million in the third quarter of 2003, an increase of $32.4 million, or 19 percent, from the third quarter of 2002. This increase included a $13.2 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts, a $9.6 million increase in insurance commissions mostly associated with our insurance agency acquisitions and lower net losses of $5.6 million for commercial loans held for sale, partially offset by a $3.6 million decrease in securities gains, net. o Noninterest expense was $348.9 million in the third quarter of 2003, an increase of $31.0 million, or 10 percent, over the third quarter of 2002. This increase included a $17.6 million increase in salaries and other compensation, which was primarily attributable to our acquisitions and new branch openings, higher employee benefits of $5.4 million and a $4.0 million increase in net occupancy expense. o Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2003 was $78.7 million, resulting in a 34 percent effective income tax rate. For the third quarter of 2002, the effective income tax rate was 32 percent, which included a $3.3 million net reduction to income tax expense resulting from a change in tax law in the State of California concerning the tax treatment of loan loss reserves. o Return on average assets decreased to 1.47 percent in the third quarter of 2003 compared to 1.53 percent in the third quarter of 2002. Our return on average shareholders' equity increased to 16.04 percent in the third quarter of 2003 compared to 14.38 percent in the third quarter of 2002. o Total loans at September 30, 2003 were $26.0 billion, an increase of $85.2 million from September 30, 2002. o Nonperforming assets were $344.3 million at September 30, 2003, a decrease of $51.2 million, or 13 percent, from September 30, 2002. Nonperforming assets, as a percentage of total assets, decreased to 0.81 percent at September 30, 2003, compared with 1.05 percent at September 30, 2002. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans decreased to 1.31 percent at September 30, 2003 from 1.52 percent at September 30, 2002. o Our Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.96 percent and 12.58 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2003, compared with 11.14 percent and 12.89 percent, respectively, at September 30, 21 2002. Our leverage ratio was 8.73 percent at September 30, 2003, compared with 10.13 percent at September 30, 2002. COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 Net income was $435.3 million, or $2.87 per diluted common share, in the first nine months of 2003, compared with $383.0 million, or $2.43 per diluted common share, in the first nine months of 2002. This increase in diluted earnings per share of $0.44, or 18 percent, above the first nine months of 2002 was due to a $85.9 million, or 17 percent, increase in noninterest income, a $70.0 million, or 48 percent, decrease in provision for credit losses, and a $19.7 million, or 2 percent, increase in net interest income (on a taxable-equivalent basis), offset by a $96.4 million, or 10 percent, increase in noninterest expense; coupled with a decrease in weighted average shares outstanding due to share repurchases. Other highlights of the first nine months of 2003 include: o Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $1.18 billion in the first nine months of 2003, an increase of $19.7 million, or 2 percent, over the first nine months of 2002. Net interest margin in the first nine months of 2003 was 4.35 percent, a decrease of 42 basis points from the first nine months of 2002. o A provision for credit losses of $75.0 million was recorded in the first nine months of 2003 compared with $145.0 million in the first nine months of 2002. This resulted from management's regular assessment of overall credit quality, loan portfolio composition, and business and economic conditions in relation to the level of the allowance for credit losses. o Noninterest income was $590.4 million in the first nine months of 2003, an increase of $85.9 million, or 17 percent, from the first nine months of 2002. This increase included a $27.4 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts, a $25.1 million increase in insurance commissions mostly associated with our insurance agency acquisitions, lower writedowns on private capital investments of $13.6 million, lower residual value writedowns on auto leases of $9.0 million, lower net losses of $8.0 million for commercial loans held for sale and a $4.1 million increase in net securities gains mainly attributable to a $9.0 million gain arising from the early call of a Mexican Brady Bond, partly offset by an $8.4 million decrease in trust and investment management fees. o Noninterest expense was $1.04 billion in the first nine months of 2003, an increase of $96.4 million, or 10 percent, over the first nine months of 2002. This increase included higher salaries and other compensation of $35.6 million, mostly related to our acquisitions and new branch openings, higher employee benefits of $19.4 million and a $16.1 million increase in net occupancy expense. o Income tax expense in the first nine months of 2003 was $215.3 million, resulting in a 33 percent effective income tax rate. For the first nine months of 2002, the effective income tax rate was also 33 percent. o Return on average assets increased slightly to 1.45 percent in the first nine months of 2003 compared to 1.44 percent in the first nine months of 2002. Our return on average shareholders' equity increased to 15.02 percent in the first nine months of 2003 compared to 13.73 percent in the first nine months of 2002. 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 page. The results show the financial performance of our major business units. The risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) methodology used 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 22 obligor will not perform as agreed. Market risk is the potential loss in fair value due to changes in interest rates, currency rates and equity prices. Operational risk is the potential loss due to failures in internal control, system failures, or external events. The following tables reflect the condensed income statements, selected average 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. Also, the tables have been expanded to include performance center earnings. A performance center is a special unit of the Bank whose income generating activities, unlike typical profit centers, are based on other business segment units' customer base. The revenues generated and expenses incurred for those transactions entered into to accommodate our customers are allocated to other business segments where the customer relationships reside. A performance center's purpose is to foster cross-selling with a total profitability view of the products and services it manages. For example, the Global Markets Trading and Sales unit, within the Global Markets Group, is a performance center that manages the foreign exchange, derivatives, and fixed income securities activities within the Global Markets organization. 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 RAROC measurement methodology recognizes credit expense for expected losses arising from credit risk and attributes economic capital related to unexpected losses arising from credit, market and operational risks. As a result of the methodology used by the RAROC model to calculate expected losses, differences between the provision for credit losses and credit expense in any one period could be significant. However, over an economic cycle, the cumulative provision for credit losses and credit expense for expected losses should be substantially the same. 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. Our 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. The business units are assigned the costs of products and services directly attributable to their business activity through standard unit cost accounting based on volume of usage. All other corporate expenses (overhead) are assigned to the business units based on a predetermined percentage of usage. 23 We have restated certain business units' results for the prior periods to reflect certain transfer pricing changes and any reorganization changes that may have occurred.

25 COMMUNITY BANKING AND INVESTMENT SERVICES GROUP The Community Banking and Investment Services Group provides financial products including a set of credit, deposit, trust, risk management, and insurance products delivered through branches, relationship managers, private bankers, trust administrators, and insurance agents to individuals and small businesses. In the third quarter of 2003, net income increased $13.5 million, or 20 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2002. Total revenue increased $49.0 million, or 17 percent, compared to a year earlier. Increased asset and deposit volumes offset the effect of a lower interest rate environment leading to an increase of $34.9 million, or 18 percent, in net interest income over the prior year. Excluding the impact of performance center earnings, noninterest income was $12.9 million, or 12 percent, higher than the prior year primarily due to our acquisitions of John Burnham & Company, in the fourth quarter of 2002, and Tanner Insurance Brokers, Inc., in the second quarter of 2003, and higher deposit-related service fees. Noninterest expense increased $26.7 million, or 15 percent, in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002, with the majority of that increase being attributable to higher salaries and employee benefits mainly related to acquisitions, deposit gathering, small business growth and residential loan growth over the third quarter of 2002. In 2003, the Community Banking and Investment Services Group continues to emphasize growing the consumer asset portfolio, expanding wealth management services, extending the small business franchise, expanding the branch network, and expanding cross selling activities throughout the Bank. The strategy for growing the consumer asset portfolio primarily focused on mortgage and home equity products that may be originated through the branch network, as well as through channels such as wholesalers, correspondents, and whole loan purchases. As of September 30, 2003, residential mortgages have grown by $1.3 billion, or 21 percent, from the prior year. The Wealth Management division is focused on becoming a growing provider of banking and investment products for affluent individuals in geographic areas already served by us. We seek to provide quality service superior to that of our competitors and offer our customers an attractive product suite. Core elements of the initiative to extend our small business franchise include improving our sales force, increasing marketing activities, adding new locations, and developing online capabilities to complement physical distribution. Expansion of the distribution network will be achieved through acquisitions and new branch openings. During 2002, we completed our acquisitions of Valencia Bank and Trust, a commercial bank with $266 million in assets and five branches, and First Western Bank, a commercial bank with $224 million in assets and seven branches. On July 1, 2003, we completed the acquisition of Monterey Bay Bank, a $632 million asset savings and loan association headquartered in Watsonville, California, with eight full-service branches in the Greater Monterey Bay area. The Community Banking and Investment Services Group is comprised of five major divisions: Community Banking, Wealth Management, Institutional Services and Asset Management, Consumer Asset Management, and Insurance Services. COMMUNITY BANKING serves its customers through 278 full-service branches in California, 4 full-service branches in Oregon and Washington, and a network of 547 proprietary ATMs. Customers may also access our services 24 hours a day by telephone or through our website at www.uboc.com. In addition, the division offers automated teller and point-of-sale merchant services. This division is organized by service delivery method, by markets and by geography. We serve our customers in the following ways: o through community banking branches, which serve consumers and businesses with checking and deposit services, as well as various types of consumer financing; o through on-line access to our internet banking services, which augment our physical delivery channels by providing an array of customer transaction, bill payment and loan payment services; 26 o through branches and business banking centers, which serve businesses with annual sales up to $5 million; and o 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. o The Private Bank focuses primarily on delivering 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, and deposit and credit products. A key strategy of The Private Bank is to expand its business by leveraging existing Bank client relationships. Through 14 existing locations, The Private Bank relationship managers offer all of our available products and services. o Our brokerage products and services are provided through UBOC Investment Services, Inc., a registered broker/dealer offering investment products to individuals and institutional clients. Its primary strategy is to further penetrate our existing client base. INSTITUTIONAL SERVICES AND ASSET MANAGEMENT provides investment management and administration services for a broad range of individuals and institutions. o HighMark Capital Management, Inc., a registered investment advisor, provides investment advisory services to institutional clients and its proprietary mutual funds, the affiliated HighMark Funds. It also provides advisory services to Union Bank of California, N.A. trust and agency clients, including corporations, pension funds and individuals. HighMark Capital Management, Inc. also provides mutual fund support services. HighMark Capital Management, Inc.'s strategy is to increase assets under management by broadening its client base and helping to expand the distribution of shares of its mutual fund clients. o Institutional Services provides custody, corporate trust, and retirement plan services. Custody Services provides both domestic and international safekeeping/settlement services in addition to securities lending. Corporate Trust acts as trustee for corporate and municipal debt issues. Retirement Services provides a full range of defined benefit and defined contribution administrative services, including trustee services, administration, investment management, and 401(k) valuation services. The client base of Institutional Services includes financial institutions, corporations, government agencies, unions, insurance companies, mutual funds, investment managers, and non-profit organizations. Institutional Services' strategy is to continue to leverage and expand our position in our target markets. CONSUMER ASSET MANAGEMENT provides the centralized underwriting, processing, servicing, collection and administration for consumer assets including residential loans and merchant bank cards. o Consumer Asset Management is centralized in two California sites, one in San Diego and one in Brea, and o provides customer and credit management services for consumer loan products. CERTAIN INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS In 1996, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and several other retailers sued MasterCard International Incorporated ("MCI"), VISA U.S.A., Inc. and VISA International, Inc. (together, "VISA") in cases now pending in federal court in New York, asserting that MCI and VISA's rules regarding uniform acceptance of all VISA and MasterCard credit and debit cards were an illegal tying arrangement. Prior to trial, MCI and VISA agreed to settle these cases. The settlements reportedly remain subject to court approval. Neither we nor Union Bank of California, N.A. are a party to 27 these suits, and neither will be directly liable for these settlements. However, MCI or VISA may seek to assess, or assert claims against, their members (including Union Bank of California, N.A.) to fund the settlements. While our debit card interchange income declined slightly in 2003, our interchange income from debit card operations is less than one percent of our total revenue. We cannot predict the effect that the settlements, regardless of a direct claim being asserted against members, will have on the competitive environment or our future earnings from debit card operations. INSURANCE SERVICES provides a range of risk management services and insurance products to business and retail customers. The group, which includes our 2001 acquisition of Armstrong/Robitaille, Inc., our 2002 acquisition of John Burnham & Company, and our 2003 acquisition of Tanner Insurance Brokers, Inc., offers its risk management and insurance products through offices in California and Oregon. Through alliances with other financial institutions, the Community Banking and Investment Services Group offers additional products and services, such as credit cards, leasing, and asset-based and leveraged financing. The group competes with larger banks by attempting to provide service quality superior to that of its major competitors. The group's primary means of competing with community banks include its branch network and its technology to deliver banking services. The group also offers 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, Citibank, 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 financing and cash management services to middle-market and large corporate businesses primarily headquartered in the western United States. The Commercial Financial Services Group has continued to focus specialized financing expertise to specific geographic markets and industry segments such as energy, entertainment, and real estate. Relationship managers in the Commercial Financial Services Group provide credit services, including commercial loans, accounts receivable and inventory financing, project financing, lease financing, trade financing and real estate financing. In addition to credit services, the group offers its customers access to cash management services delivered through deposit managers with experience in cash management solutions for businesses and government entities. In the third quarter of 2003, net income increased $44.7 million, or 87 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2002. Net interest income increased $46.2 million, or 27 percent, partially attributable to the impact of increasing deposit balances and a lower cost of funds resulting from the lower interest rate environment. Beginning in 2003, the transfer pricing credit for funds provides for a floor on analyzed demand deposit account balances, which was triggered during the first quarter of 2003. Had such a floor existed in the third quarter of 2002, net interest income would have been approximately $13 million higher. Excluding higher income in the private equity portfolio of $3.4 million mainly related to lower writedowns on private capital investments in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002, noninterest income increased $16.9 million, or 34 percent. This 34 percent increase was mainly attributable to higher deposit-related service fees. Noninterest expense increased $4.1 million, or 4 percent, compared to a year earlier due to higher expenses to support increased product sales and deposit volume. Credit 28 expense decreased $7.8 million mainly attributable to a refinement in the RAROC allocation of capital and expected losses and lower loan balances year-over-year. The group's initiatives during 2003 include expanding wholesale deposit activities and increasing domestic trade financing. Loan strategies include originating, underwriting and syndicating loans in core competency markets, such as the California middle-market, commercial real estate, energy, entertainment, equipment leasing and commercial finance. The Commercial Financial Services Group provides strong processing services, including services such as check processing, front-end item processing, cash vault services and digital imaging. The Commercial Financial Services Group is comprised of the following business units: o the Commercial Banking Division, which serves California middle-market and large corporate companies with commercial lending, trade financing, and asset- based loans; o the Corporate Deposit and Treasury Management Division, which provides deposit and cash management expertise to clients in the middle-market, large corporate market, government agencies and specialized industries; o the Real Estate Industries Division, which provides real estate lending products such as construction loans, commercial mortgages and bridge financing; o the Energy Capital Services Division, which provides custom financing and project financing to oil and gas companies, as well as power and utility companies, nationwide and internationally; and o the Corporate Capital Markets Division, which provides custom financing to middle-market and large corporate clients in their defined industries and geographic markets, together with limited merchant and investment banking related products and services. The group competes with other banks primarily on the basis of the quality of its relationship managers, the delivery of quality customer service, and its reputation as a "business bank." 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, the group competes with investment banks, commercial finance companies, leasing companies, and insurance companies. INTERNATIONAL BANKING GROUP The International Banking Group primarily focuses on providing correspondent banking and trade finance related products and services to international financial institutions worldwide. This focus includes products and services such as letters of credit, international payments, collections and financing of mostly short-term transactions. The majority of the revenue generated by the International Banking Group is from customers domiciled outside of the US. In the third quarter of 2003, net income increased $1.6 million, or 25 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2002. Total revenue in the third quarter of 2003 increased $2.2 million, or 8 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2002. Net interest income increased $1.4 million, or 15 percent, from the third quarter of 2002, mainly attributable to both higher deposit and loan volumes. Noninterest income was $0.9 million, or 5 percent, higher than the third quarter of 2002 reflecting growth in international remittance and account analysis fees. Noninterest expense of $15.4 million was relatively unchanged from the third quarter of 2002. Credit expense of $0.5 million was relatively unchanged from the third quarter of 2002. The International Banking Group's business revolves around short-term trade financing, mostly to 29 banks, which provides service-related income, as well as significantly lower credit risk when compared to other lending activities. The group has a long history of providing correspondent banking and trade-related products and services to international financial institutions. We believe the group continues to achieve strong customer loyalty in the correspondent banking market. The International Banking Group, headquartered in San Francisco, also maintains representative offices in Asia and Latin America and an international banking subsidiary in New York. 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 contracts and interest rate swaps and options. It trades money market, government, agency, and other securities to meet investment needs of our institutional and business clients. Another primary area of the group is treasury management for the Company, which encompasses wholesale funding, liquidity management, interest rate risk management, including securities portfolio management, and hedging activities. The Global Markets Group results include the transfer pricing activity for the Bank, which allocates to the other business segments their cost of funds on all asset categories or credit for funds in the case of all liability categories. In the third quarter of 2003, net loss was $51.5 million compared to a net loss of $4.9 million in the third quarter of 2002. Total revenue in the third quarter of 2003 decreased by $75.1 million, compared to the third quarter of 2002, resulting from a $71.5 million decrease in net interest income. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a higher transfer pricing residual in the third quarter of 2003 resulting from significantly higher quarter-over-prior year quarter growth in deposits, which are priced on longer-term liability rates, compared to credits on earning assets, which are priced on shorter-term lending rates. Beginning in 2003, the transfer pricing credit for funds provides for a floor on analyzed demand deposit account balances, which was triggered during the first quarter 2003. Had such a floor existed in the third quarter of 2002, net interest income would have declined by approximately $13 million. Noninterest income was $3.7 million, or 143 percent, lower than the third quarter of 2002, mainly attributable to losses of $2.3 million on the sale of available for sale securities in the third quarter of 2003. Compared to the third quarter of 2002, noninterest expense of $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2003 was relatively unchanged. OTHER "Other" includes the following items: o corporate activities that are not directly attributable to one of the four major business units. Included in this category are certain other nonrecurring items such as merger and integration expense, certain parent company non-bank subsidiaries, and the elimination of the fully taxable- equivalent basis amount; o the adjustment between the credit expense under RAROC and the provision for credit losses under US GAAP and earnings associated with unallocated equity capital; o the adjustment between the tax expense calculated under RAROC using a tax rate of 38.25 percent and the Company's effective tax rates; o the Pacific Rim Corporate Group, with assets at September 30, 2003 of $295 million, which offers a range of credit, deposit, and investment management products and services to companies in the US, which are affiliated with companies headquartered in Japan; and o the residual costs of support groups. 30 Net income for "Other" in the third quarter of 2003 was $20.9 million. The results were impacted by the following factors: o Credit expense (income) of ($28.0) million was due to the difference between the $20.0 million in provision for credit losses calculated under our US GAAP methodology and the $48.0 million in expected losses for the reportable business segments, which utilizes the RAROC methodology; o Net interest income of $17.0 million, which resulted from the differences between the credit for equity for the reportable segments under RAROC and the net interest income earned by UnionBanCal Corporation, and a credit for deposits in the Pacific Rim Corporate Group; o Noninterest income of $6.0 million; and o Noninterest expense of $24.1 million. Net income for "Other" in the third quarter of 2002 was $17.3 million. The results were impacted by the following factors: o Credit expense (income) of ($15.3) million was due to the difference between the $40.0 million in provision for credit losses calculated under our US GAAP methodology and the $55.3 million in expected losses for the reportable business segments, which utilizes the RAROC methodology; offset by o Net interest income of $19.0 million, which resulted from the differences between the credit for equity for the reportable segments under RAROC and the net interest income earned by UnionBanCal Corporation, and a credit for deposits in the Pacific Rim Corporate Group; o Noninterest income of $5.2 million; and o Noninterest expense of $23.7 million. 31 NET INTEREST INCOME The following tables show the major components of net interest income and net interest margin.

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.
33 Our net interest income is impacted by changes in interest rates, the steepening and flattening of the yield curve and changes in volumes and mix of earning assets, deposits, and interest bearing liabilities. In addition, we use interest rate derivatives as an asset-liability management tool to manage the effect of changes in interest rates on net interest income. These interest rate derivatives have offset a portion of the interest rate compression experienced over the past year. If interest rates remain at their current levels, our net interest income will be positively impacted by our in-the-money hedge positions but to a lesser extent, as our existing cash flow hedges mature. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $401.7 million in the third quarter of 2003, compared with $392.6 million in the third quarter of 2002. This increase of $9.1 million, or 2 percent, was attributable primarily to the impact of the decreasing interest rate environment on interest bearing liabilities, increasing average noninterest bearing deposits, and higher earning assets, mostly offset by significantly lower yields on our earning assets. Decreasing market rates resulted in lower average rates on our interest bearing liabilities of 63 basis points on average balances of $20.8 billion, which was mostly offset by lower average yields of 92 basis points on average earning assets of $37.9 billion, which was favorably impacted by higher interest rate derivatives income of $10.8 million. Mitigating the impact of the lower interest rate environment on our net interest margin was an increase in average earning assets of $5.1 billion, primarily in securities and residential mortgage loans, funded by a $3.8 billion, or 31 percent, increase in average noninterest bearing deposits. As a result of these changes and a flattening yield curve environment, as long-term interest rates declined, our net interest margin decreased by 55 basis points, to 4.22 percent. Average earning assets were $37.9 billion in the third quarter of 2003, compared with $32.8 billion in the third quarter of 2002. This growth was attributable to a $4.0 billion, or 68 percent, increase in average securities, a $652.5 million, or 199 percent, increase in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements and a $360.5 million, or 1 percent, increase in average loans. The increase in average securities, which were comprised primarily of fixed rate securities, reflected liquidity and interest rate risk management actions. The increase in average loans was mostly due to a $1.4 billion increase in average residential mortgages, as we have continued to strategically shift from non-relationship commercial lending, and a $399.8 million increase in average commercial mortgages, partly offset by a $1.3 billion decrease in average commercial, financial, and industrial loans. The increase in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements was mainly attributed to a significant acceleration in the rate of deposit growth relative to loan growth. Deposit growth, especially in our title and escrow industries, has contributed significantly to our lower cost of funds year-over-year. Average noninterest bearing deposits were $3.8 billion, or 31 percent, higher in the third quarter of 2003 over the prior year, which included a $1.2 billion increase in average title and escrow deposits. We anticipate that the growth rates in average noninterest bearing deposits will decline from the 2003 growth rates as refinancings slow down due to interest rate increases. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $1.18 billion in the first nine months of 2003, compared with $1.16 billion in the first nine months of 2002. This increase of $19.7 million, or 2 percent, was attributable primarily to the impact of the decreasing interest rate environment throughout the prior year on interest bearing liabilities, increasing average noninterest bearing deposits, and higher earning assets, more than offset by significantly lower yields on our earning assets. Decreasing market rates resulted in lower rates on our interest bearing liabilities of 59 basis points on average balances of $20.0 billion, which was partly offset by a lower average yield of 80 basis points on average earning assets of $36.3 billion, which was favorably impacted by higher interest rate derivatives income of $27.1 million. Mitigating the impact of the lower interest rate environment on our net interest margin was an increase in 34 average earning assets of $3.8 billion, primarily in securities and residential mortgage loans, funded by a $3.2 billion, or 27 percent, increase in average noninterest bearing deposits. As a result of these changes and a flattening yield curve environment, as long-term interest rates declined, our net interest margin decreased by 42 basis points, to 4.35 percent. Average earning assets were $36.3 billion in the first nine months of 2003, compared with $32.5 billion in 2002. This growth was attributable to a $2.5 billion, or 45 percent, increase in average securities and a $960.2 million, or 4 percent, increase in average loans. The increase in average securities, which were comprised primarily of fixed rate securities, reflected liquidity and interest rate risk management actions. The increase in average loans was mostly due to a $1.4 billion increase in average residential mortgages, which was a result of a strategic portfolio shift from more volatile commercial loans and a $456.7 million increase in average commercial mortgages, partially offset by a $774.7 million decrease in average commercial, financial, and industrial loans. Deposit growth, especially in our title and escrow industries, has contributed significantly to our lower cost of funds year-over-year. Average noninterest bearing deposits were $3.2 billion, or 27 percent, higher in the first nine months of 2003 over the first nine months of 2002, which included a $1.1 billion increase in average title and escrow deposits.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 In the third quarter of 2003, noninterest income was $201.5 million, an increase of $32.4 million, or 19 percent, over the third quarter of 2002. This increase was mainly attributable to a $13.2 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts, a $9.6 million increase in insurance commissions, and lower net losses of $5.6 million for commercial loans held for sale. Revenue from service charges on deposit accounts was $81.8 million, an increase of $13.2 million or 19 percent over the third quarter of 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to a 25 percent increase in quarterly average demand deposits (excluding title and escrow deposits) and overdraft fees of $3.5 million associated with a new overdraft program introduced in April 2003. Trust and investment management fees were $35.4 million, up slightly from the third quarter of 2002. Total assets under administration were $147.1 billion as of September 30, 2003, an increase of $17.4 billion, or 13 percent, from September 30, 2002. The increase in asset levels has been in lower earning, non-managed assets, while higher earning managed assets have declined. The change in the mix of assets 35 has led to the relatively flat revenue levels. In addition, the current low interest rate environment has led to a significant reduction in balances in the HighMark money market funds. Insurance commissions were $15.8 million, an increase of $9.6 million, or 153 percent, over the third quarter of 2002, primarily reflecting the incremental revenues associated with our insurance agency acquisitions. Other noninterest income was $14.0 million, an increase of $9.4 million, or 205 percent from the third quarter of 2002. This increase included: o lower net losses of $5.6 million for commercial loans held for sale, and o lower writedowns on private capital investments of $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002 as the economy appears to be improving. Our private capital investments include direct investments in private and public companies and indirect investments in private equity funds. The fair values of publicly traded investments are determined by using quoted market prices. Investments that are not publicly traded are initially valued at cost and subsequent adjustments to fair value are estimated based on a company's business model, current projected financial performance, liquidity and overall economic and market conditions. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 In the first nine months of 2003, noninterest income was $590.4 million, an increase of $85.9 million, or 17 percent, over the first nine months of 2002. This increase was mainly attributable to a $27.4 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts, a $25.1 million increase in insurance commissions, lower writedowns on private capital investments of $13.6 million, lower residual value writedowns on auto leases of $9.0 million, lower net losses of $8.0 million for commercial loans held for sale, a $5.5 million increase in international commissions and fees and a $4.1 million increase in net securities gains mainly attributable to a $9.0 million gain arising from the early call of a Mexican Brady Bond, partly offset by an $8.4 million decrease in trust and investment management fees. Revenue from service charges on deposit accounts was $232.1 million, an increase of $27.4 million, or 13 percent, over the first nine months of 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to a 22 percent increase in average demand deposits (excluding title and escrow deposits) over the first nine months of 2002 and overdraft fees of $7.0 million associated with a new overdraft program introduced in April 2003. Trust and investment management fees were $101.2 million, a decrease of $8.4 million, or 8 percent, from the first nine months of 2002. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decline in equity market values and lower revenues as our clients shift toward fixed income investments. In addition, the current low interest rate environment has led to a significant reduction in balances in the HighMark money market funds. International commissions and fees were $63.1 million, an increase of $5.5 million, or 10 percent, reflecting a stronger growth in international markets. Insurance commissions were $45.1 million, an increase of $25.1 million, or 126 percent, reflecting the incremental revenues associated with our insurance agency acquisitions, and growth in insurance commissions at Armstrong/Robitaille, Inc. Securities gains, net, were $7.0 million compared to securities gains, net, of $3.0 million in the first nine months of 2002. In the first nine months of 2003, we realized a gain of $9.0 million on an early call of a Mexican Brady Bond. Other noninterest income was $44.9 million, an increase of $33.8 million, or 303 percent, from the first nine months of 2002. This increase was mainly attributable to lower writedowns on private capital investments of $13.6 million, reflecting an improving economy, a decrease of $9.0 million in residual value 36 writedowns on auto leases, as our auto lease portfolio liquidates, lower net losses of $8.0 million for commercial loans held for sale and $3.7 million in insurance recoveries from the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attack recorded in the current year.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 In the third quarter of 2003, noninterest expense was $348.9 million, an increase of $31.0 million, or 10 percent, over the third quarter of 2002. This increase was primarily due to a $23.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $4.0 million increase in net occupancy. Salaries and employee benefits were $205.3 million, an increase of $23.0 million, or 13 percent, over the third quarter of 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to annual merit increases, higher staff levels associated with our recent acquisitions, higher performance-related incentive expense, and increased insurance and health benefits expenses due to increasing healthcare costs. Net occupancy expense was $31.3 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 15 percent over the third quarter of 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions, new branch openings, other facilities restructuring initiatives and higher property insurance. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 In the first nine months of 2003, noninterest expense was $1.04 billion, an increase of $96.4 million, or 10 percent, over the first nine months of 2002. This increase was primarily due to a $55.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $16.1 million increase in net occupancy, including $4.2 million related to the write-off of certain leasehold improvements. Salaries and employee benefits were $602.3 million, an increase of $55.1 million, or 10 percent, over the first nine months of 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to annual merit increases, higher staff levels mostly associated with our recent acquisitions, higher performance-related incentive expense, increased insurance and health benefits expense due to increasing healthcare costs, and higher 401(k) plan expenses. Net occupancy expense was $91.8 million, an increase of $16.1 million, or 21 percent, over the first nine months of 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions, new branch openings, 37 other facilities restructuring initiatives, higher property insurance and a $4.2 million write-off of certain leasehold improvements. Professional services expense was $38.3 million, an increase of $7.5 million, or 24 percent over the first nine months of 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to increased legal services, consulting and other professional service expenses. Intangible asset amortization was $8.3 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or 126 percent, from the first nine months of 2002. This increase was primarily associated with our acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2002 and in 2003. Other noninterest expense was $125.8 million, an increase of $9.5 million, or 8 percent, over the first nine months of 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to a $6.4 million increase in low-income housing credit (LIHC) amortization expense mostly related to a higher number of LIHC investments in the current year and higher operating losses of $3.9 million mostly related to an increase in the provision for contingency losses associated with various lawsuits. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2003 was $78.7 million, resulting in a 34 percent effective income tax rate. For the third quarter of 2002, the effective income tax rate was 32 percent, which included a $3.3 million net reduction to income tax expense resulting from a change in tax law in the State of California concerning the tax treatment of loan loss reserves. Income tax expense in the first nine months of 2003 was $215.3 million, resulting in a 33 percent effective income tax rate. For the first nine months of 2002, the effective income tax rate was also 33 percent. LOANS The following table shows loans outstanding by loan type.

38 Our lending activities are predominantly domestic, with such loans comprising 94 percent of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 2003. Total loans at September 30, 2003, were $26.0 billion, an increase of $85 million, or 0.3 percent, from September 30, 2002. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in the residential mortgage portfolio of $1.3 billion, an increase in the commercial mortgage portfolio of $360 million, and an increase in the loans originated in foreign branches of $175 million, partly offset by a decline in the commercial, financial and industrial loan portfolio of $1.5 billion and a decline in lease financing of $169 million. Commercial, financial and industrial loans represent one of the largest categories 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 loans. This portfolio has a high degree of geographic diversification based upon our customers' revenue bases, which we believe lowers our vulnerability to changes in the economic outlook of any particular region of the US. The commercial, financial and industrial loan portfolio was $9.3 billion, or 36 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2003, compared with $10.8 billion, or 41 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2002. The decrease of $1.5 billion, or 14 percent, from the prior year was primarily attributable to current economic conditions that have reduced loan demand in some segments. Loan sales and managed exits also contributed to the decline and are consistent with our strategy to reduce our exposure to more volatile commercial loans and increase the percentage of more stable consumer loans (including residential mortgages). The construction loan portfolio totaled $1.1 billion, or 4 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2003, compared with $1.3 billion, or 5 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2002. This decrease of $132 million, or 10 percent, from the prior year was primarily attributable to the slowing economy and its impact on development and construction projects. Commercial mortgages were $4.3 billion, or 17 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2003, compared with $4.0 billion, or 15 percent, at September 30, 2002. The mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans on commercial and industrial projects primarily in California. The increase in commercial mortgages of $360 million, or 9 percent, from September 30, 2002, was primarily due to our acquisition of Monterey Bay Bank in the third quarter of 2003. Residential mortgages were $7.1 billion, or 27 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2003, compared with $5.9 billion, or 23 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2002. The increase in residential mortgages of $1.3 billion, or 21 percent, from September 30, 2002, continues to be influenced by high refinance market due to low rates. While we hold most of the loans we originate, we sell most of our 30-year, fixed rate non-Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) residential mortgage loans. Consumer loans totaled $2.0 billion, or 8 percent of total loans, substantially unchanged from September 30, 2002. A slight increase in consumer loans of $79.0 million, or 4 percent, was primarily attributable to an increase in home equity loans, partially offset by pay-offs related to the run-off of the automobile dealer lending business exited in the third quarter of 2000. The indirect automobile dealer lending portfolio at September 30, 2003 was $68.3 million. Lease financing totaled $668.1 million, or 3 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2003, compared with $836.7 million, or 3 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2002. As we announced in 2001, we have ceased originating auto leases. At September 30, 2003, our portfolio had declined to $119.6 million and will decline 40 percent by December 2003, 90 percent by December 2004, and will fully mature by mid-year 2006. Loans originated in foreign branches totaled $1.5 billion, or 6 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2003, compared with $1.3 billion, or 5 percent, at September 30, 2002. The increase in loans originated in foreign branches of $174.7 million, or 13 percent, from September 30, 2002, was primarily attributable to higher trade finance borrowings from financial institutions attracted to lower US interest rates and increased lending in Canada where we established a branch in 2002. 39 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 September 30, 2002, December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003, for any 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 exclude local currency outstandings. For any country shown in the table below, we do not have significant local currency outstandings that are not hedged or are not funded by local currency borrowings.

40 PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES We recorded a $20 million provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2003, compared with a $40 million provision for credit losses for the same period in the prior year. The provision for credit losses in the first nine months of 2003 was $75 million, compared with a $145 million provision for credit losses for the same period in the prior year. Provisions for credit losses are charged 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, leases and unused commitments, in each case based on the internal risk grade of such credit exposures. Changes in risk grades 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: o pass graded loss factors for commercial, financial, and industrial loans, as well as all problem graded loan loss factors, are derived from a migration model that tracks historical losses over a period, which we believe captures the inherent losses in our loan portfolio; o pass graded loss factors for commercial real estate loans and construction loans are based on the average annual net charge-off rate over a period reflective of a full economic cycle; and o 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, home equity, residential mortgage loans and automobile leases. We believe that an economic cycle is a period in which both upturns and downturns in the economy have been reflected. We calculate loss factors over a time interval that we believe is reflective of a complete and representative economic cycle. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a credit or a portfolio segment that management believes indicate the probability that a loss has been incurred. This amount may be determined either by a method prescribed by SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures" or methods that include a range of probable outcomes based upon certain qualitative factors. The unallocated allowance is based on management's evaluation of conditions that are not directly reflected 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 may not be 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: o general economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas; o credit quality trends (including trends in nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions); 41 o collateral values; o loan volumes and concentrations; o seasoning of the loan portfolio; o specific industry conditions within portfolio segments; o recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio; o duration of the current economic cycle; o bank regulatory examination results; and o 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 conditions 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 actual losses can vary 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 and pass graded commercial, financial, and industrial loans is designed to be self-correcting by taking into account our loss experience over prescribed periods. Similarly, by basing the pass graded loan loss factors over a period reflective of an economic cycle, the methodology is designed to take into account our recent loss experience for commercial real estate mortgages and construction loans. Pooled loan loss factors are adjusted quarterly primarily based upon the level of net charge-offs expected by management in the next twelve months. Furthermore, based on management's judgement, our methodology permits adjustments to any loss factor used in the computation of the formula allowance for significant factors, which affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date, but 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, 2002 At December 31, 2002, our total allowance for credit losses was $609 million, or 2.30 percent of the total loan portfolio and 180.9 percent of total nonaccrual loans. At September 30, 2003, our total allowance for credit losses was $551 million, or 2.11 percent of the total loan portfolio and 161.4 percent of total nonaccrual loans. In addition, the allowance incorporates the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in SFAS No. 114 as amended by SFAS No. 118. These accounting standards prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to impaired loans. At December 31, 2002, total impaired loans were $300 million, and the associated impairment allowance was $106 million, compared with $289 million and $93 million, respectively, at September 30, 2003. On September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the total allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments was $78.5 million and $75.4 million, respectively. During the third quarter of 2003, there were no changes in estimation methods or assumptions that affected our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the formula and specific allowances for credit losses, except for an adjustment in the years in the historical period used to calculate loss factors, which resulted in a $14 million increase to the allocated allowance. We believe that this adjustment more 42 closely reflects the current economic environment. Changes in estimates and 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. We recorded a $20 million provision in the third quarter of 2003, which took into consideration the following factors: fragility of the U.S. economy; weakness in capital spending and employment growth; and trends in credit quality. CHANGES IN THE FORMULA AND SPECIFIC ALLOWANCES At September 30, 2003, the formula allowance was $272 million, compared to $294 million at December 31, 2002, a decrease of $22 million. The decline in the formula allowance is primarily related to lower levels of criticized credits. The specific allowance was $104 million at September 30, 2003, compared to $121 million at December 31, 2002, a decrease of $17 million. The decrease in the specific allowance is due to slightly lower average loss content on reduced levels of impaired loans. CHANGES IN THE UNALLOCATED ALLOWANCE At September 30, 2003, the unallocated allowance was $175 million, compared to $194 million at December 31, 2002, a decrease of $19 million. In evaluating the appropriateness of the unallocated allowance, we considered the following factors, as well as more general factors such as the interest rate environment and the impact of the economic downturn on those borrowers who have a more leveraged financial profile: o With respect to the commercial real estate sector, management considered the continuing weak demand growth and excess supply in many markets with the national office vacancy rate continuing to rise and average rents falling, as well as the specific weakness in Northern California resulting from regional over-dependence on the technology sector and some portfolio concentration in the office and apartment markets, which could be in the range of $16 million to $32 million. o With respect to the communications/media industry, management considered the impact of low consumer confidence on consumer spending and weak, although improving, advertising revenues, as well as the increasingly competitive environment facing telecommunication carriers, which could be in the range of $11 million to $31 million. o With respect to power companies and utilities, management considered the continuing excess capacity and weak prices in the power generation market, compounded by the costs and disruptions of moving out of merchant generation and energy trading operations, which could be in the range of $14 million to $28 million. o With respect to cross-border loans and acceptances to certain Asia/Pacific Rim countries, management considered the effects of slower US growth up to very recently, Japan's continuing struggle to break out of recession and the need for further structural reform across most of the East Asian region, which could be in the range of $8 million to $17 million. o With respect to the retail sector, management considered the adverse effects of still weak labor markets, high consumer debt levels and near-record personal bankruptcies, which could be in the range of $6 million to $12 million. o With respect to the State of California, management considered the adverse effects of the recent Gubernatorial recall, which aggravated an already volatile political environment and uncertain fiscal situation, and the severity of challenges that the new Governor will face, which could be in the range of $6 million to $12 million. 43 o With respect to leasing, management considered the ongoing problems of the airline industry as it continues to struggle with the weaker economy, the sluggish recovery of international travel and high fuel prices, which could be in the range of $5 million to $11 million. o With respect to the technology industry, management considered weak, although improving, capital spending in the US, as well as the effects of steepening price declines resulting in less robust revenue growth, which could be in the range of $4 million to $9 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. Although in certain instances the downgrading of a loan resulting from these effects was reflected in the formula allowance, management believes that in most instances the impact of these events on the collectibility of the applicable loans may not have been reflected in the level of nonperforming loans or in the internal risk grading process with respect of such loans. Accordingly, our evaluation of the probable losses related to these factors was reflected in the unallocated allowance. The evaluations of the inherent losses with respect to these factors were subject to higher degrees of uncertainty because they were not identified with specific problem credits. CHANGE IN THE TOTAL ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in our allowance for credit losses.

44 Total loans charged off in the third quarter of 2003 increased by $0.8 million from the third quarter of 2002. Charge-offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were recognized previously through provisions for credit losses. Third quarter 2003 recoveries of loans previously charged off increased by $4.3 million from the third quarter of 2002. The percentage of net loans charged off to average loans outstanding for the third quarter of 2003 decreased by 6 basis points from the same period in 2002. At September 30, 2003, the allowance for credit losses exceeded the annualized net loans charged off during the third quarter of 2003, 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. NONPERFORMING ASSETS

At September 30, 2003, nonperforming assets totaled $344.3 million, an increase of $6.9 million, or 2 percent, from December 31, 2002. This relatively small increase was primarily due to a significant reduction in inflows of new nonperforming loans during 2003. The increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to our decision to place additional airplane leases on nonaccrual, partially offset by our decision during the second quarter of 2003, to return two airplane leases, totaling $18.3 million, to accrual status. In addition, we placed two San Francisco Bay Area office loans, totaling approximately $22.8 million, on nonaccrual status in the second quarter of 2003. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.31 percent at September 30, 2003, compared with 1.52 percent at September 30, 2002. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed assets were 1.32 percent at September 30, 2003, compared to 1.52 percent at September 30, 2002. 45 LOANS 90 DAYS OR MORE PAST DUE AND STILL ACCRUING

The increase in commercial, financial, and industrial loans 90 days or more past due, but still accruing is attributable to one loan of $17.8 million that is current on its interest payments but is past its maturity date. We expect that this facility will be refinanced in the fourth quarter of 2003 and will not become a nonperforming asset. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT (OTHER THAN TRADING) THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON MARKET RISK ASSOCIATED WITH INTEREST RATE RISK IS BEING PROVIDED IN ORDER TO EXPAND THE INFORMATION ON THE ASSUMPTIONS USED IN OUR SIMULATION MODELS, WHICH QUANTIFY OUR SENSITIVITY TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES. SEE ALSO PART I, ITEM 3 OF THIS DOCUMENT, TITLED "QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK." Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values, or to future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments, including securities, loans, deposits, and borrowings, as well as derivative instruments. Our exposure to market risk is a function of our asset and liability management activities, our trading activities for our own account, and our role as a financial intermediary in customer-related transactions. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of our earnings and equity to loss and to reduce the volatility inherent in certain financial instruments. The management of market risk is governed by policies reviewed and approved annually by our Board of Directors (Board). The Board assigns responsibility for the administration of market risk management to the Chief Executive Officer who designates the chairman of the Asset & Liability Management Committee (ALCO), a committee composed of UnionBanCal Corporation executives. ALCO meets monthly and reports quarterly to the Finance and Capital Committee of the Board on activities related to the management of market risk. As part of the management of our market risk, ALCO may direct changes in the mix of assets and liabilities and the extent to which we utilize investment securities and derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and floors to hedge our interest rate exposures. ALCO reviews and approves specific market risk management programs involving investment and hedging activities and certain market risk limits. The ALCO Chairman is responsible for the company-wide management of market risk. The Treasurer is responsible for implementing funding, investing, and hedging strategies designed to manage this risk. On a day-to-day basis, the monitoring of market risk takes place at a centralized level within the Market Risk Monitoring unit (MRM). MRM is responsible for measuring risks to ensure compliance with all market risk limits and guidelines incorporated within the policies and procedures established by the Board and ALCO. MRM reports monthly to ALCO on trading risk exposures and on compliance with interest rate risk, securities portfolio and derivatives policy limits. MRM 46 also reports quarterly to ALCO on the effectiveness of our hedging activities. In addition, periodic reviews by our internal audit department and regulators provide further evaluation of controls over the risk management process. We have separate and distinct methods for managing the market risk associated with our trading activities and our asset and liability management activities, as described below. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT (OTHER THAN TRADING) We engage in asset and liability management activities with the primary purposes of managing the sensitivity of net interest income (NII) to changes in interest rates within limits established by the Board and maintaining a risk profile that is consistent with management's strategic objectives. The Asset & Liability Management (ALM) Policy approved by the Board requires monthly monitoring of interest rate risk by ALCO through a variety of modeling techniques that are used to quantify the sensitivity of NII to changes in interest rates. As directed by ALCO, and in consideration of the importance of our demand deposit accounts as a funding source, NII is adjusted in the official policy risk measure to incorporate the effect of certain noninterest expense items related to these deposits that are nevertheless sensitive to changes in interest rates. In managing interest rate risk, ALCO monitors NII sensitivity on both an adjusted and unadjusted basis. Our unhedged NII remains inherently asset sensitive, meaning that our assets generally reprice more quickly than our liabilities, particularly our core deposits. Since the NII associated with an asset sensitive balance sheet tends to decrease when interest rates decline and increase when interest rates rise, derivative hedges and the securities portfolio are used to manage this risk. In the third quarter of 2003, we entered into $1 billion in interest rate floors to offset the adverse impact that declining interest rates could have on the interest income generated by our variable rate commercial loans. We continued to increase the size of our securities portfolio in response to strong growth in core deposits. Our recent purchases were concentrated in short duration securities to maintain flexibility to respond to changes in interest rates. For a further discussion of derivative instruments and our hedging strategies, see Note 16--"Derivative Instruments" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2002. Together, our hedging and investment activities resulted in an essentially neutral risk profile for the hedged balance sheet with respect to parallel yield curve shifts. However, our NII is also sensitive to non-parallel shifts in the yield curve. In general, our NII increases when the yield curve steepens (specifically when short rates, under one year, drop and long rates, beyond one year, rise), while a flattening curve tends to depress our NII and net interest margin. In this respect, our NII is asset sensitive when measured against changes in long rates and slightly liability sensitive when measured against changes in short rates. This asset sensitivity in relation to a flattening of the yield curve is manifested in the NII simulations primarily by an acceleration of mortgage prepayments (in both the residential portfolio and securities portfolio) when long rates decline. In the current rate environment, run off of fixed rate assets, including prepayments, depress NII even if interest rates do not change because the cash flows from the repaid and prepaid assets that were booked at higher rates must be reinvested at lower prevailing rates. As a result, we expect the low prevailing rates, coupled with the recent high volume of prepayments, will further compress our net interest margin and negatively affect NII in the coming months, even if market rates remain at current levels. Our official NII policy measure involves a simulation of "Earnings-at-Risk" (EaR) in which we estimate the impact that gradual, ramped-on parallel shifts in the yield curve would have on NII over a 12-month horizon. Under the Board's policy limits, the negative change in simulated NII in either the up or down 200 basis point shock scenarios may not exceed 4 percent of NII as measured in the base case, or 47 no change, scenario. The following table sets forth the simulation results in both the up and down 200 basis point ramp scenarios as of June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003(1):
JUNE 30, SEPTEMBER 30, (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 2003 2003 --------------------------------------- -------- ------------- -200 basis points...................... $ 6.7 $ 17.3 as a percentage of base case NII....... 0.46% 1.13% -200 basis points...................... $ (2.4) $ (16.0) as a percentage of base case NII....... 0.17% 1.21% ---------------------- (1) For these policy simulations, NII is adjusted to incorporate the effect of certain noninterest expense items related to demand deposits that are nevertheless sensitive to changes in interest rates.
EaR in the down 200 basis point scenario was ($16.0) million, or 1.21 percent of adjusted NII in the base case scenario, well within the Board's guidelines. However, with federal funds and LIBOR rates already below two percent, a downward ramp scenario of 200 basis points would result in short-term rate levels below zero. As a result, we believe that a downward ramp scenario of 100 basis points provides a more reasonable measure of asset sensitivity in a falling interest rate environment. As of September 30, 2003, the difference between adjusted NII in the base case and adjusted NII after a gradual 100 basis point downward ramp was a negative $6.5 million, or .45 percent of the base case. Management's goal in the NII simulations is to capture the risk embedded in the balance sheet. As a result, asset and liability balances are kept constant throughout the analysis horizon. Two exceptions are non-maturity deposits, which vary with levels of interest rates according to statistically derived balance equations, and discretionary derivative hedges and fixed income portfolios, which are allowed to run off. Additional assumptions are made to model the future behavior of deposit rates and loan spreads based on statistical analysis, management's outlook, and historical experience. The prepayment risks related to residential loans and mortgage-backed securities are measured using industry estimates of prepayment speeds. The sensitivity of the simulation results to the underlying assumptions is tested as a regular part of the risk measurement process by running simulations with different assumptions. In addition, management supplements the official risk measures based on the constant balance sheet assumption with volume-based simulations of NII based on forecasted balances and with value-based simulations that measure the sensitivity of economic- value-of-equity (EVE) to changes in interest rates. We believe that, together, these simulations provide management with a reasonably comprehensive view of the sensitivity of our operating results to changes in interest rates, at least over the measurement horizon. However, as with any financial model, the underlying assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement as modeling techniques and theory improve and historical data becomes more readily accessible. Consequently, our simulation models cannot predict with certainty how rising or falling interest rates might impact net interest income. Actual and simulated NII results will differ to the extent there are differences between actual and assumed interest rate changes, balance sheet volumes, and management strategies, among other factors. TRADING ACTIVITIES We enter into trading account activities primarily as a financial intermediary for customers, and, to a minor extent, for our own account. By acting as a financial intermediary, we are able to provide our customers with access to a wide range of products from the securities, foreign exchange, and derivatives markets. In acting for our own account, we may take positions in some of these instruments with the objective of generating trading profits. These activities expose us to two primary types of market risk: interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk. 48 In order to manage interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk associated with our trading activities, we utilize a variety of non-statistical methods including: position limits for each trading activity, daily marking of all positions to market, daily profit and loss statements, position reports, and independent verification of all inventory pricing. Additionally, Market Risk Monitoring (MRM) reports positions and profits and losses daily to the Treasurer and trading managers and weekly to the ALCO Chairman. ALCO is provided reports on a monthly basis. We believe that these procedures, which stress timely communication between MRM and senior management, are the most important elements of the risk management process. We use a form of Value at Risk (VaR) methodology to measure the overall market risk inherent in our trading account activities. Under this methodology, management statistically calculates, with 97.5 percent confidence, the potential loss in fair value that we might experience if an adverse shift in market prices were to occur within a period of 5 business days. The amount of VaR is managed within limits well below the maximum limit established by Board policy at 0.5 percent of shareholders' equity. The VaR model incorporates a number of key assumptions, including assumed holding period and historical volatility based on 3 years of historical market data updated quarterly. The following table sets forth the average, high and low year-to-date VaR for our trading activities.
DECEMBER 31, 2002 SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 ------------------------- ------------------------- AVERAGE HIGH LOW AVERAGE HIGH LOW (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) VAR VAR VAR VAR VAR VAR ----------------------------------------- ------- ---- --- ------- ---- --- Foreign exchange......................... $ 256 $546 $88 $ 144 $340 $57 Securities............................... 213 543 45 213 463 97
Consistent with our business strategy of focusing on the sale of capital markets products to customers, we manage our trading risk exposures at conservative levels, well below the trading risk policy limits established by the Board. As a result, our foreign exchange business continues to derive the bulk of its revenue from customer-related transactions. We take inter-bank trading positions only on a limited basis and we do not take any large or long-term strategic positions in the market for the Bank's own portfolio. We continue to grow our customer-related foreign exchange business while maintaining an essentially unchanged inter-bank trading risk profile as measured under our VaR methodology. The Securities Trading & Institutional Sales department serves the fixed income needs of our institutional clients and acts as the fixed income wholesaler for our broker/dealer subsidiary, UBOC Investment Services, Inc. As with our foreign exchange business, we continue to generate the vast majority of our securities income from customer-related transactions. Our interest rate derivative contracts included as of September 30, 2003, $3.8 billion of derivative contracts entered into as an accommodation for customers. We act as an intermediary and match these contracts, at a credit spread, to contracts with major dealers, thus neutralizing the related market risk. LIQUIDITY RISK 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 ALCO. Additionally, ALCO conducts monthly ongoing reviews of our liquidity situation. Liquidity is managed through this ALCO coordination process on a Bank-wide basis, encompassing all major business units. The operating management of liquidity is implemented through the funding and investment functions of the Global Markets Group. Our liquidity management draws upon the strengths of our extensive retail and commercial core deposit franchise, coupled with the ability to obtain funds for various terms in a variety of domestic and international money markets. Our securities portfolio represents a significant source of additional liquidity. 49 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, savings, and consumer time deposits, combined with average common shareholders' equity, funded 84 percent of average total assets of $41.9 billion for the third quarter of 2003. Most of the remaining funding was provided by short-term borrowings in the form of negotiable certificates of deposit, large time deposits, foreign deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, commercial paper, and other borrowings. The securities portfolio provides additional enhancement to our liquidity position, which may be created through either securities sales, or repurchase agreements. Liquidity may also be provided by the sale or maturity of assets. Such assets include interest-bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements, and trading account securities. The aggregate of these assets averaged $1.6 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Additional liquidity may be provided through loan maturities and sales. In the third quarter of 2003, the Company terminated the issuance of commercial paper under the UnionBanCal Corporation's commercial paper program. UnionBanCal Commercial Funding Corporation (a UnionBanCal Corporation subsidiary) continues to issue commercial paper under an existing commercial paper program. The proceeds of this commercial paper program are deposited in Union Bank of California, N.A. and used for Bank funding. REGULATORY CAPITAL The following tables summarize our risk-based capital, risk-weighted assets, and risk-based capital ratios.

We and Union Bank of California, N.A. are subject to various regulations of the federal banking agencies, including minimum capital requirements. We both 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). 50 Compared with December 31, 2002, our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at September 30, 2003, decreased 22 basis points to 10.96 percent, our total risk-based capital ratio decreased 35 basis points to 12.58 percent, and our leverage ratio decreased 102 basis points to 8.73 percent. The decrease in our capital ratios was primarily attributable to lower Tier 1 capital primarily resulting from a decrease in shareholders' equity including the purchase of $300 million of our common stock, in September 2003, from BTM, higher goodwill associated with our recent acquisitions (which reduces both Tier 1 and 2 capital), coupled with an increase in risk-weighted assets. As of September 30, 2003, management believes the capital ratios of Union Bank of California, N.A. met all regulatory requirements of "well-capitalized" institutions, which are 10 percent for the total risk-based capital ratio, 6 percent for the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and 5 percent for the leverage ratio. CERTAIN BUSINESS RISK FACTORS ADVERSE CALIFORNIA ECONOMIC CONDITIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS A substantial majority of our assets, deposits and fee income 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. Economic conditions in California are subject to various uncertainties at this time, including the long-term impact of the California energy crisis, the decline in the technology sector, recent wildfires in Southern California and the California state government's recent budgetary crisis and continuing fiscal difficulties. If economic conditions in California continue to decline, we expect that our level of problem assets could increase. THE CONTINUING WAR ON TERRORISM COULD FURTHER ADVERSELY AFFECT US ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Acts or threats of terrorism and actions taken by the US or other governments as a result of such acts or threats have contributed to the downturn in US economic conditions experienced recently and could further adversely affect business and economic conditions in the US generally and in our principal markets. For example, the events of September 11, 2001, caused a decrease in air travel in the US, which adversely affected the airline industry and many other travel-related industries, including those operating in California. ADVERSE ECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING CERTAIN INDUSTRIES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS We are subject to certain industry-specific economic factors. For example, a significant and increasing portion of our total loan portfolio is related to residential real estate. Accordingly, a downturn in the real estate and housing industries in California could have an adverse effect on our operations. In addition, auto leases comprise a declining portion of our total loan portfolio. We ceased originating auto leases in April 2001; however, continued deterioration in the used car market may result in additional losses on the valuation of auto lease residuals on our remaining auto leases. We provide financing to businesses in a number of other industries that may be particularly vulnerable to industry-specific economic factors, including the communications/media industry, the retail industry, the airline industry, the power industry and the technology industry. Industry-specific risks are beyond our control and could adversely affect our portfolio of loans, potentially resulting in an increase in nonperforming loans or charge-offs. 51 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CURTAILED MARKET ACCESS OF POWER COMPANIES COULD AFFECT OUR PORTFOLIO CREDIT QUALITY The failure of Enron Corporation, coupled with continued turbulence in the energy markets, has significantly impacted debt ratings and equity valuations of a broad spectrum of power companies, particularly those involved in energy trading and in deregulated or non-regulated markets. These developments have sharply reduced these companies' ability to access public debt and equity markets, contributing to heightened liquidity pressures. Should these negative trends continue and/or intensify, the credit quality of certain of our borrowers could be adversely affected. 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, further decreases in interest rates could result in an acceleration in the prepayment of loans. An increase in market interest rates could also 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. FLUCTUATIONS IN INTEREST RATES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR MARGIN SPREAD Changes in market interest rates, including changes in the relationship between short-term and long-term market interest rates or between different interest rate indices, can impact our margin spread, that is, the difference between the interest rates we charge on interest earning assets, such as loans, and the interest rates we pay on interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits or other borrowings. The impact, particularly in a falling interest rate environment, could result in a decrease in our interest income relative to interest expense. SHAREHOLDER VOTES ARE CONTROLLED BY BTM; OUR INTERESTS MAY NOT BE THE SAME AS BTM'S INTERESTS BTM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc., owns a majority (approximately 63 percent as of September 30, 2003) of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, BTM 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 other matters that might be favorable to BTM. A majority of our directors are not officers or employees of UnionBanCal Corporation or any of our affiliates, including BTM. However, because of BTM's control over the election of our directors, BTM could change the composition of our Board of Directors so that the Board would not have a majority of outside directors. BTM'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. POSSIBLE FUTURE SALES OF SHARES BY BTM COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK BTM may sell shares of our common stock in compliance with the federal securities laws. By virtue of BTM's current control of us, BTM 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, BTM could sell shares of our common stock without registration. 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 the market price of 52 our common stock. If BTM sells or transfers shares of our common stock as a block, another person or entity could become our controlling shareholder. BTM'S FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS Although we fund our operations independently of BTM and believe our business is not necessarily closely related to BTM's business or outlook, BTM's credit ratings may affect our credit ratings. BTM is also subject to regulatory oversight and review by Japanese and US regulatory authorities. Our business operations and expansion plans could be negatively affected by regulatory concerns related to the Japanese financial system and BTM. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH BTM COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US BTM's view of possible new businesses, strategies, acquisitions, divestitures or other initiatives may differ from ours. This may delay or hinder us from pursuing such initiatives. Also, as part of BTM's normal risk management processes, BTM manages global credit exposures and concentrations on an aggregate basis, including UnionBanCal Corporation. Therefore, at certain levels or in certain circumstances, our ability to approve certain credits or other banking transactions and categories of customers is subject to the concurrence of BTM. We may wish to extend credit or furnish other banking services to the same customers as BTM. Our ability to do so may be limited for various reasons, including BTM's aggregate credit exposure and marketing policies. Certain directors' and officers' ownership interests in BTM's common stock or service as a director or officer or other employee of both us and BTM could create or appear to create potential conflicts of interest, especially since both of us compete in the US 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, Citibank, 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. Banks, securities firms, and insurance companies can now combine as a "financial holding company." Financial holding companies can offer virtually any type of financial service, including banking, securities underwriting, insurance (both agency and underwriting), and merchant banking. Recently, a number of foreign banks have acquired financial services companies in the US, further increasing competition in the US market. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS COULD LIMIT AMOUNTS PAYABLE TO US As a holding company, 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 liquidate, 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. 53 ADVERSE EFFECTS OF, OR CHANGES IN, BANKING OR OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS OR GOVERNMENTAL FISCAL OR MONETARY POLICIES 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, including accounting standards and interpretations 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, including legislative and regulatory reactions to the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, and future acts of terrorism, and the Enron Corporation, WorldCom, Inc. and other major US corporate bankruptcies and reports of accounting irregularities at US public companies, including various large and publicly traded companies. 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 BTM'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. Additionally, our business is affected significantly by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies. We are particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), which regulates the supply of money and credit in the US. Under long-standing policy of the FRB, 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. Among the instruments of monetary policy available to the FRB are (a) conducting open market operations in US government securities, (b) changing the discount rates of borrowings by depository institutions, and (c) imposing or changing reserve requirements against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates. These methods are used in varying degrees and combinations to directly affect the availability of bank loans and deposits, as well as the interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The policies of the FRB may have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT OUR OPERATING STRATEGIES From time to time, we develop long-term financial performance goals to guide and measure the success of our operating strategies. We can make no assurances 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: o deterioration of our asset quality; o our inability to control noninterest expense, including, but not limited to, rising employee and healthcare costs; o our inability to increase noninterest income; o our inability to decrease reliance on revenues generated from assets; o our ability to manage loan growth; o our ability to find acquisition targets at valuation levels we find attractive; o regulatory and other impediments associated with making acquisitions; o deterioration in general economic conditions, especially in our core markets; 54 o decreases in our net interest margin; o increases in competition; o adverse regulatory or legislative developments; and o unexpected increases in costs related to acquisitions. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS OR DIVESTITURES OR RESTRUCTURING MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT US We may seek to acquire or invest in companies, technologies, services or products that complement our business. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such acquisition or investment as this will depend on the availability of prospective target companies at valuation levels we find attractive and the competition for such opportunities from other bidders. In addition, we continue to evaluate the performance of all of our businesses and business lines and may sell a business or business line. Any acquisitions, divestitures or restructuring may result in the issuance of potentially dilutive equity securities, significant write-offs, including those 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 could involve numerous additional risks including difficulties in obtaining any required regulatory approvals and in the assimilation or separation of operations, services, products and personnel, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, higher than expected deposit attrition (run-off), divestitures required by regulatory authorities, the disruption of our business, and the potential loss of key employees. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in overcoming these or any other significant risks encountered. ITEM 3.
