NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements, which include forecasts of our financial results and condition, expectations for our operations and business, and our assumptions for those forecasts and expectations. Do not rely unduly on forward-looking statements. Actual results might differ significantly from our forecasts and expectations. For a discussion of risk factors relating to the Company’s business, please refer to Item 1A “Risk Factors” of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2005 Form 10-K) which is incorporated by reference herein and Item 1A “Risk Factors” of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this form 10-Q).

This document includes forward-looking information, which is subject to the “safe harbor” created by section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may make forward-looking statements in our SEC filings, press releases, news articles, conference calls with analysts and stockholders and when we are speaking on behalf of UnionBanCal Corporation. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Often, they include the words “believe,” “expect,” “target,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “potential,” “project,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” or “may.” These forward-looking statements are intended to provide investors with additional information with which they may assess our future potential. All of these forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about an uncertain future and are based on information available to us at the date of these statements. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances, assumptions or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

In this document, for example, we make forward-looking statements, which discuss our expectations about:

·       Our business strategies and initiatives, the growth of our business and our competitive position

·       Our assessment of significant factors and developments that have affected and may affect our results

·       Pending legal and regulatory actions, and future legislative and regulatory developments, including the effects of changes to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s deposit insurance assessment

·       Increased regulatory controls, processes and supervisory actions regarding Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering matters, and their costs and impact on our business

·       The costs and effects of litigation, investigations, regulatory actions, or similar matters, or adverse facts and developments related thereto

·       Our ability to meet regulatory requirements

·       Credit quality and provision for credit losses, including the expected need to provide for credit losses due to anticipated loan growth, and indications that improvement in credit quality could be at its peak

·       The unallocated portion of our allowances for credit losses, including the conditions we consider

·       Net interest income and effects on net interest income, including income and expense from derivative hedges

·       The impact of increases in interest rates and growth in our commercial loan portfolio on our net interest margin

·       Loan growth rates, including residential mortgage loans

3




·       Deposit pricing pressures, including trends in customers transferring funds from noninterest bearing deposits to interest bearing deposits or other investment alternatives

·       Our belief that our average noninterest bearing deposits continue to provide us with a funding advantage compared to most of our peers

·       Deposit renewals

·       Our ability and intent to hold various assets

·       The formation of financial subsidiaries

·       Our sensitivity to and management of market risk, including changes in interest rates, and the economic outlook of any particular region of the U.S.

·       The composition and market sensitivity of our securities portfolios, our hedging strategies and our management of the sensitivity of our balance sheet

·       Potential dividend restrictions

·       Taxes, including the possible effect of the level of earnings at The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. on our California State tax obligations

·       Off-balance sheet arrangements

·       Critical accounting policies and estimates and the impact of recent accounting pronouncements

·       Our insurance coverage

·       Estimated pension and health costs and contributions and the investment objectives and asset allocation strategy of our pension plan and health plan

·       Decisions to downsize, sell or close units or otherwise reorganize or change our business mix

·       The relationship between our business and that of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.

·       Our strategies and expectations regarding capital levels, returning excess capital to stockholders and strategic or other acquisitions

·       The impact of strategic investments on our business and benefits of marketing alliances

There are numerous risks and uncertainties that could and will cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict and could have a material adverse effect on our stock price, financial condition, and results of operations or prospects. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to those listed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of Part II of this Form 10-Q and in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of Part I of our 2005 Form 10-K.

Readers of this document should not rely unduly on forward-looking information and should consider all uncertainties and risks disclosed throughout this document and in our other reports to the SEC, including, but not limited to, those discussed below. Any factor described in this report could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, future prospects, results of operations or financial condition. There are also other factors that we have not described in this report and our other reports that could cause our results to differ from our expectations.

UnionBanCal Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(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 (SEC). 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, 2006 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 2005 Form 10-K. 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. The Bank also provides trade finance and other international financial services (but not international correspondent banking) to customers.

Under previously announced stock repurchase programs, the Company was authorized to repurchase $259 million of the Company’s common stock as of September 30, 2006. The Company repurchased $143 million of common stock in the third quarter of 2006, compared to none in the third quarter of 2005. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc., owned approximately 64 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock at September 30, 2006.

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current financial statement presentation.

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and elected to use the modified prospective application method to transition to the new accounting standard. SFAS No. 123R requires that compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Measurement of the cost of employee service is based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued. SFAS 123R also prescribes that estimated forfeitures of shares are to be included in the calculation of compensation expense.

Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost is recognized for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered. The cost is being recognized over the period during which the employees are required to provide service. The after-tax impact of this change on income from continuing operations was a reduction of $3.4 million and $10.6 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, which includes estimated forfeitures for restricted stock and the recognition of compensation costs related to nonvested stock options.

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations (Continued)

The corresponding impact to both basic and diluted earnings per share was a reduction of $0.02 and $0.07 per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

For the period ended September 30, 2005, as allowed under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company recognized compensation expense using the intrinsic value-based method of valuing stock options 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 was measured as the amount by which the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant exceeded the stock option exercise price. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005, options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant and, therefore, were not included in compensation costs.

At September 30, 2006, the Company had two stock-based employee compensation plans. For further discussion concerning the Company’s stock-based employee compensation plans, see Note 11 to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2005 Form 10-K. Options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The value of the restricted stock awards issued under the plans and the value of that portion of outstanding option awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered is being recognized over the remaining service period as compensation cost.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income, which includes discontinued operations, and corresponding earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation. For the purpose of this disclosure, the Company has recognized compensation costs for graded vesting on a straight-line basis and did not include an estimate for forfeitures.

Note 2—Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” The Statement allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host), if the holder elects to irrevocably account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. The Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after December 31, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.”  The Statement requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It allows an entity to choose one of two subsequent measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities: the amortization method or the fair value measurement method. Under the amortization method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or servicing loss. Under the fair value method, servicing assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value each reporting period with any changes reported in current period earnings. The Statement is effective for all servicing assets on January 1, 2007. Management believes that adopting this Statement will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Changes in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes in Leveraged Leases

In July 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 13-2, “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction.”  The FSP requires that if, during the lease term, the projected timing of the income tax cash flows generated by a leveraged lease is revised, the rate of return and the allocation of income would be recalculated from the inception of the lease. At adoption, the change in the net investment balance resulting from the calculation would be recognized as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. Following adoption, a change in the net investment balance resulting from a recalculation would be recognized as a gain or a loss in the period in which the assumption is changed. The FSP is effective for all leveraged leases on January 1, 2007. The Company invests in Lease-in-Lease-Out (LILO) transactions that have been challenged by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Company has paid the IRS the income tax associated with the LILO transactions. However, the Company is defending the initial filing position as to the timing of the tax benefits associated with these transactions. The Company may be required to recalculate these leases to reflect a potential change in the timing of income tax cash flows in accordance with this FSP. If recalculation of these leases is required, the Company estimates that the impact of this FSP at adoption on January 1, 2007, could be a reduction of beginning retained earnings in the range of $16.5 to $20.5 million. Any adjustment to retained earnings would then be recognized back into income over the remaining term of the affected leases.

Note 2—Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The Interpretation establishes a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold that must be met before a tax benefit can be recognized in the financial statements. For tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, an enterprise may recognize only the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. The Interpretation is effective January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of the Interpretation would be recognized as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this Interpretation on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Accounting for Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement applies whenever other accounting standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The Statement is effective January 1, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).”  The Statement requires a company that sponsors a defined benefit pension plan or other postretirement benefit plan to recognize the funded status of the benefit plan as an asset or liability, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation. It requires immediate recognition of unrecognized prior service costs and credits, unrecognized net actuarial gains or losses, and any unrecognized transition obligation or asset as components of other comprehensive income. The Statement is effective for the year ending December 31, 2006. If adopted at September 30, 2006, the Company’s stockholders’ equity would have been reduced by approximately 5.5 percent.

Effects of Prior Year Misstatements on Current Year Financial Statements

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.”  SAB 108 provides guidance on quantifying and evaluating the materiality of unrecorded misstatements. It requires the use of both the “iron curtain” and “rollover” approaches in quantifying and evaluating the materiality of a misstatement. Under the iron curtain approach the error is quantified as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet is misstated. The rollover approach quantifies the error as the amount by which the current year income statement is misstated. If either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that is material, financial statement adjustments are required. SAB 108 is

Note 2—Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

effective for the year ending December 31, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact of SAB 108 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

For additional information on recently issued accounting pronouncements and other significant accounting principles, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K.

Note 3—Discontinued Operations

During the third quarter 2005, the Bank signed a definitive agreement to sell its international correspondent banking operations (previously reported as the International Banking Group for segment reporting) to Wachovia Bank, N.A., effective October 6, 2005.

The Company has accounted for this transaction as a discontinued operation and restated its prior period financial statements. The assets of the discontinued operations were reclassified as “held for sale” and accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less the costs to sell. All of the Company’s offices designated for disposal were closed as of September 30, 2006. The remaining assets consist primarily of deposits with banks awaiting approval of repatriation of capital and unremitted profits and loans that are maturing by January 2008. The remaining liabilities primarily consist of accrued expenses, which will be settled when due.

Interest expense was allocated to discontinued operations based on average net assets. The amount of interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 was $4.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, the interest expense allocated to discontinued operations was $11.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

The Company’s severance reserve balances for discontinued operations at December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006 were $21.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The decrease of $17.3 million from December 31, 2005 primarily related to cash payments to employees.

Note 4—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) ratio is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company no longer includes nonvested restricted shares in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding—basic but includes the impact of those shares in the calculation of diluted shares. The impact of this change on previous periods is immaterial. Diluted EPS incorporates the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding on an average basis during the period. Stock options and nonvested restricted stock are common stock equivalents.

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006.

Note 7—Business Segments

In July 2006, the Company formally reorganized its operating segments by disaggregating the businesses that were formerly managed and reported under the Community Banking and Investment Services Group or the Commercial Financial Services Group. Management believes that this new organizational structure will enhance the Company’s focus on target markets and enterprise wide sales and service. The various operating segments reporting under the Chief Operating Officer and the Group Head of Pacific Rim Corporate Group have been aggregated into two reportable business segments entitled “Retail Banking” and “Wholesale Banking” based upon the aggregation criteria prescribed in the SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.

·       Retail Banking aggregates those operating segments that offer a range of banking services, primarily to individuals and small businesses, delivered generally through a network of branches and ATMs located in the western United States. These services include mortgages, home equity lines of credit, consumer and commercial loans, deposit services and cash management, as well as fiduciary, private banking, investment and asset management services for individuals and institutions, and risk management for small businesses and individuals. At September 30, 2005 and 2006, Retail Banking had $235.2 million and $222.2 million, respectively, of goodwill assigned to the operating segments.

·       Wholesale Banking aggregates those operating segments that provide credit, depository and cash management services, insurance, investment and risk management products to businesses, individuals and target specialty niches. Services include commercial and project loans, real estate financing, asset-based financing, trade finance and letters of credit, lease financing, customized cash management services and capital markets products. At September 30, 2005 and 2006, Wholesale Banking had $217.4 million and $231.2 million, respectively, of goodwill assigned to the operating segments.

The information, set forth in the tables that follow, reflects selected income statement and balance sheet items by reportable business segment. 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. Included in the tables, within total assets, are the amounts of goodwill for each reportable business segment as of September 30, 2005 and 2006.

Note 7—Business Segments (Continued)

The information in the tables is derived from the internal management reporting system used by management to measure the performance of the individual segments and the Company overall. The management reporting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each operating 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 an operating segment are assigned to that operating segment. 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 operating segment based on a predetermined percentage of usage. Under the Company’s risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) methodology, credit expense is charged to an operating segment based upon expected losses arising from credit risk. In addition, the attribution of economic capital is related to unexpected losses arising from credit, market and operational risks.

“Other” is comprised of certain non-bank subsidiaries of UnionBanCal Corporation, the elimination of the fully taxable-equivalent basis amount, the transfer pricing center, the amount of the provision for credit losses over/(under) the RAROC expected loss for the period, the earnings associated with the unallocated equity capital and allowances for credit losses, and the residual costs of support groups. In addition, “Other” includes Corporate Treasury, which is responsible for Asset-Liability Management (ALM), wholesale funding, and the ALM investment securities and derivatives hedging portfolios, and the results of our discontinued operations. Except as discussed above, none of the items in “Other” is significant to the Company’s business.

In the first quarter 2006, the Company changed its reporting to reflect a “market view” perspective in measuring the business segments. The market view is a measurement of customer markets aggregated to show all revenues generated and expenses incurred from all products and services sold to those customers regardless of where product areas organizationally report. Therefore, revenues and expenses are included in both the business segment that provides the service and the business segment that manages the customer relationship. The duplicative results from this internal management accounting view are reflected in “Reconciling Items.”

Note 8—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging

Derivative positions are integral components of the Company’s designated ALM 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 and other time deposits (CDs), medium-term notes and subordinated debt. The following describes the significant hedging strategies of the Company.

Cash Flow Hedges

Hedging Strategies for Variable Rate Loans and Certificates of Deposit and Other Time Deposits

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, i.e. U.S. 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 are identical. Cash flow hedging strategies include the utilization of purchased floor, cap and corridor options and interest rate swaps. At September 30, 2006, the weighted average remaining life of the currently active (excluding any forward positions) cash flow hedges was 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 contract offset the decline in loan interest income caused by the relevant LIBOR index falling below the collar’s floor 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 contract 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 to hedge the variable interest cash flows associated with the forecasted issuance and rollover of short-term, fixed rate CDs. In these hedging relationships, the Company hedges the LIBOR component of the CD rates, which is 3-month LIBOR, based on the CDs’ original term to maturity, which reflects their repricing frequency. Net payments to be

Note 8—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging (Continued)

received under the cap contract offset the increase in interest expense caused by the relevant LIBOR index rising above the cap’s strike rate.

The Company uses interest rate cap corridors to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the forecasted issuance and rollover of short-term, fixed rate CDs. In these hedging relationships, the Company hedges the LIBOR component of the CD rates, either 1-month LIBOR, 3-month LIBOR, or 6-month LIBOR, based on the original term to maturity of the CDs, which reflects their repricing frequency. Net payments to be received under the cap corridor contract offset the increase in deposit interest expense caused by the relevant LIBOR index rising above the corridor’s lower strike rate, but only to the extent the index rises to the upper strike rate. The corridor will not provide protection from increases in the relevant LIBOR index to the extent it rises above the 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 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 2006, the Company recognized a net gain of $0.2 million due to ineffectiveness, which is recognized in other noninterest expense, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2005.

Fair Value Hedges

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 issuance, 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, U.S. 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.

Hedging Strategy for Subordinated Debt

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 ten-year, subordinated debt issuance, and in a separate transaction, Union Bank of California, N.A.’s ten-year, subordinated debt issuance, in order to convert these liabilities from fixed rate to floating rate instruments. This strategy mitigates the changes in fair value of the hedged liability caused by changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, U.S. dollar LIBOR.

The fair value hedging transaction for the subordinated debt was structured at inception to mirror all of the provisions of the subordinated debt, which allows the Company to assume that no ineffectiveness exists.

Note 8—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging (Continued)

Other

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.

Economic Hedging Strategy for “MarketPath” Certificates of Deposit

The Company engages in an economic hedging strategy in which interest bearing certificates of deposit issued to customers, which are tied to the changes in the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index, are exchanged for a fixed rate of interest. The Company accounts for the embedded derivative in the certificates of deposit at fair value. A total return swap that encompasses the value of a series of options that had individually hedged each certificate of deposit is valued at fair value. The changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative and the hedge instrument are recognized as interest expense.

Note 9—Commitments, Contingencies and 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. As of September 30, 2006, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss for standby and commercial letters of credit was $3.6 billion and $88.9 million, respectively. At September 30, 2006, the carrying value of the Company’s standby and commercial letters of credit totaled $6.7 million. Exposure to loss related to these commitments is covered by the allowance for losses on off-balance sheet commitments. The carrying value of the standby and commercial letters of credit and the allowance for losses on off-balance sheet commitments are included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, at September 30, 2006, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss for standby and commercial letters of credit related to discontinued operations had declined to $0.6 million and zero, respectively, with no corresponding carrying value of these standby and commercial letters of credit.

The credit risk involved in issuing loan commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.

Principal investments include direct investments in private and public companies and indirect investments in private equity funds. The Company issues commitments to provide equity and mezzanine capital financing to private and public companies through either direct investments in specific companies or through investment funds and partnerships. The timing of future cash requirements to fund such commitments is generally dependent on the investment cycle. This cycle, the period over which privately-held companies are funded by private equity investors and ultimately sold, merged, or taken public through an initial offering, can vary based on overall market conditions as well as the nature and type of industry in which the companies operate. At September 30, 2006, the Company had commitments to fund principal investments of $90.7 million.

Note 9—Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (Continued)

The Company has a contingent consideration agreement that guarantees additional payments to an acquired insurance agency’s stockholders based on the agency’s future performance in excess of established revenue and/or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) thresholds. If the insurance agency’s future performance exceeds these thresholds during a three-year period, the Company will be liable to make payments to former stockholders. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had no obligation to make any payments under this agreement, which expires in December 2006.

The Company is fund manager for limited liability companies issuing low-income housing credit (LIHC) investments. LIHC investments provide tax benefits to investors in the form of tax deductions from operating losses and tax credits. To facilitate the sale of these LIHC 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 an eleven-year weighted average period. Additionally, the Company receives project completion and tax credit guarantees from the limited liability companies issuing the LIHC investments that reduce the Company’s ultimate exposure to loss. As of September 30, 2006, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss under these guarantees is limited to a return of investor capital and minimum investment yield, or $150.0 million. The Company maintains a reserve of $6.0 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 guarantees of commercial paper obligations and leveraged lease transactions. The guarantee issued by the Bank for an affiliate’s commercial paper program is done in order to facilitate the sale of the commercial paper. As of September 30, 2006, the Bank had a maximum exposure to loss under the commercial paper program guarantee of $1.9 billion. The Bank’s guarantee has an average term of less than nine months and is fully collateralized by a pledged deposit. The Company guarantees its subsidiaries’ leveraged lease transactions with terms ranging from fifteen to thirty years. Following the original funding of these leveraged lease transactions, the Company has no material obligation to be satisfied. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had no exposure to loss for these agreements.

The Company conducts securities lending transactions for institutional customers as a fully disclosed agent. At times, securities lending indemnifications are issued to guarantee that a security lending customer will be made whole in the event the borrower does not return the security subject to the lending agreement and collateral held is insufficient to cover the market value of the security. All lending transactions are collateralized, primarily by cash. The amount of securities lent with indemnifications was $2.4 billion at September 30, 2006. The market value of the associated collateral was $2.5 billion at September 30, 2006.

The Company occasionally enters into financial guarantee contracts where a premium is received from another financial institution counterparty to guarantee a portion of the credit risk on interest rate swap contracts entered into between the financial institution and its customer. The Company becomes liable to pay the financial institution only if the financial institution is unable to collect amounts owed to them by their customer. As of September 30, 2006, the maximum exposure to loss under these contracts totaled $2.5 million. At September 30, 2006, the Company maintained a reserve of $0.1 million for losses related to these guarantees.

Note 9—Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (Continued)

The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. Reserves for losses from legal actions that are both probable and estimable are recorded at the time of that determination. Management believes that the disposition of all claims currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 11—Management Stock Plans (Continued)

Management Stock Plan, restated effective June 1, 1997 (the 1997 Stock Plan), have 20.0 million and 6.6 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock authorized to be awarded to key employees, outside directors and consultants of the Company at the discretion of the Executive Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee). Employees on rotational assignment from BTMU are not eligible for stock awards.

The Committee determines the term of each stock option grant, up to a maximum of ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of the options issued under the stock plans may not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Starting in 2006, the value of options is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period during which the employees are required to provide service. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company’s unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested restricted stock reduced retained earnings. With the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, $19 million was reclassified from retained earnings to additional paid-in capital. The value of the restricted stock at the date of grant is recognized as compensation expense over its vesting period with a corresponding credit adjustment to additional paid-in capital. All cancelled or forfeited options and restricted stock become available for future grants.

Under the 2000 Stock Plan, the Company grants stock options and restricted stock and issues shares of common stock upon vesting of performance shares and restricted stock units that are settled in common stock. Under the 1997 Stock Plan, the Company issues shares of common stock upon exercise of outstanding stock options. The Company issues new shares of common stock for all awards under the stock plans. At September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006, a total of 5,628,550 shares and 4,181,512 shares, respectively, were available for future grants under the 2000 Stock Plan as stock options, restricted stock or shares of common stock issued upon vesting of performance shares and restricted stock units settled in common stock. The remaining shares under the 1997 Stock Plan are not available for future grants.

In the first quarter of 2006, the Committee determined that performance share awards granted in 2006 are to be redeemed in shares.

Stock Options

Under the 2000 Stock Plan, the Company granted options to various key employees, including policy-making officers, and to non-employee directors for selected years. Under both stock plans, options granted to employees vest pro-rata on each anniversary of the grant date and become fully exercisable three years from the grant date, provided that the employee has completed the specified continuous service requirement. The options vest earlier if the employee dies, is permanently disabled, or retires under certain grant, age, and service conditions or terminates employment under certain conditions. Options granted to non-employee directors are fully vested on the grant date and exercisable 33 1/3 percent on each anniversary under the 1997 Stock Plan, and are fully vested and exercisable on the grant date under the 2000 Stock Plan.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Because the Black-Scholes option pricing model uses tranches based on expected terms that result in ranges of input assumptions, such ranges are disclosed below. Expected volatilities are based on historical data and implied volatilities from trade options on the Company’s stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations within the valuation model. The expected term of an option granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model, which is based on historical data and represents the period of time that the option granted is expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant based on the expected term.

Restricted Stock

In general, restricted shares are granted under the 2000 Stock Plan to key employees, and in 2005, to non-employee directors. The awards of restricted stock granted to employees vest pro-rata on each anniversary of the grant date and become fully vested four years from the grant date, provided that the employee has completed the specified continuous service requirement. They vest earlier if the employee dies, is permanently and totally disabled, retires under certain grant, age, and service conditions or terminates employment under certain conditions. The awards of restricted stock granted to existing non-employee directors in 2005 vested in full in July 2006. Restricted stockholders have the right to vote their restricted shares and receive dividends.

The following is a summary of the Company’s nonvested restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2006 and changes during the period ended September 30, 2006.

The total fair value of the restricted stock awards that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 was $1.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

The Company recognized $10.7 million of compensation cost for share-based payment arrangements related to restricted stock awards with $4.1 million of corresponding tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted awards was $21.8 million, and the weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized was 1.5 years.

Restricted Stock Units

In July 2006, the Company granted 12,150 restricted stock units to non-employee directors with a weighted average grant date fair value of $63.65 per share. These restricted stock units consist of a regular grant, and in the case of new non-employee directors, a regular grant and an initial grant. In general, the regular grant vests in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, and the initial grant vests in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. At grant date, it was estimated that 7 percent of the shares would forfeit by the vesting date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized $0.2 million of compensation cost with a corresponding $0.1 million in tax benefits related to this year’s grants. The restricted stock unit participants do not have voting or other stockholder rights. However, the participants’ stock unit accounts receive dividend equivalents, reflecting the aggregate dividends earned based on the total number of restricted stock units outstanding, in the form of additional restricted stock units. Participants may elect to defer the delivery of vested shares of common

Note 11—Management Stock Plans (Continued)

stock at predetermined dates as defined in the plan agreements. The Company will issue new shares under the 2000 Stock Plan upon vesting of these grants, which are redeemable only in shares.

Performance Share Plan

Effective January 1, 1997, the Company established a Performance Share Plan. At the discretion of the Committee, eligible participants may earn performance share awards to be redeemed in cash and/or shares three years after the date of grant. Performance shares are linked to stockholder value in two ways: (1) the market price of the Company’s common stock; and (2) return on equity, a performance measure closely linked to value creation. Eligible participants generally receive grants of performance shares annually. The plan was amended in 2004 increasing the total number of shares that can be granted under the plan to 2.6 million shares. There were 2,132,333 performance shares remaining for future awards as of September 30, 2006. All performance shares granted prior to 2006 are redeemable in cash and are therefore being accounted for as liabilities. There were 1,050 of these performance shares forfeited for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The value of a performance share under the liability method is equal to the average month-end closing price of the Company’s common stock for the final six months of the performance period. All cancelled or forfeited performance shares become available for future grants. At September 30, 2005 and 2006, the Company’s liability for the cash settlement of the performance shares was $13.2 million and $12.5 million, respectively.

Under the Performance Share Plan, the Company granted 62,100 units with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $69.96 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. These units will be settled in stock at the vesting date of December 31, 2008. At grant date, it was estimated that 6 percent of the shares would forfeit by the vesting date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized $2.4 million of compensation cost with a corresponding $0.9 million in tax benefits related to this year’s grants. The Company will issue new shares under the 2000 Stock Plan upon vesting of these grants that are redeemable in shares.

Note 12—Subsequent Events

On October 25, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.47 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on January 5, 2007 to stockholders of record as of December 1, 2006.

Item 2.            Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This report includes forward-looking statements, which include forecasts of our financial results and condition, expectations for our operations and business, and our assumptions for those forecasts and expectations. Do not rely unduly on forward-looking statements. Actual results might differ significantly from our forecasts and expectations. Please refer to Part II Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this Form 10-Q) and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2005 Form 10-K) for a discussion of some factors that may cause results to differ.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2006 in this Form 10-Q together with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2005 Form 10-K. Averages, as presented in the following tables, are substantially all based upon daily average balances.

As used in this Form 10-Q, the term “UnionBanCal” and terms such as “we,” “us” and “our” refer to UnionBanCal Corporation, Union Bank of California, N.A., one or more of their consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them together.

Introduction

We are a California-based, commercial bank holding company and have, as our major subsidiary, a banking subsidiary, Union Bank of California, N.A. (the Bank). We had consolidated assets of $52 billion at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., our majority owner, owned approximately 64 percent of our outstanding common stock.

Executive Overview

We are providing you with an overview of what we believe are the most significant factors and developments that impacted our third quarter 2006 results and that could impact our future results. We ask that you carefully read this entire document and any other reports that we refer to in this Quarterly Report, for more detailed information that will complete your understanding of trends, events and uncertainties that impact us.

Our average loans grew by 12 percent in the third quarter 2006 compared to the third quarter 2005. This growth has been concentrated in our commercial and residential mortgage lending areas, although we expect that the growth rate in residential mortgage loans will slow if interest rates continue to rise.

Although our deposit base continues to be relatively strong compared to our peers, our average noninterest bearing deposits declined by $2.4 billion in the third quarter 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 as deposit pricing pressures, caused by rising short-term interest rates, resulted in customer transfers of funds from noninterest bearing to interest bearing deposits or other investments. Further shifts between noninterest and interest bearing deposits are expected to continue in the near term. We believe that despite these shifts, our high percentage of average noninterest bearing deposits to average total deposits continues to provide us with a funding advantage compared to most of our peers.

Overall credit quality remained strong during the third quarter 2006. Our nonperforming assets totaled $48 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $62 million at December 31, 2005 and $38 million at September 30, 2005. While such low levels of nonperforming assets are not sustainable, we believe that our responsible lending and monitoring practices will help us maintain high credit quality in our loan portfolios.

33




 

 

 

 

During the third quarter 2006, we had no provision for credit losses compared with a reversal of $15 million in the third quarter 2005. We expect that we may need to provide for credit losses during the fourth quarter of 2006 as a result of our additional loan growth and any adverse changes from our current economic environment.

In the third quarter 2006, our net interest income was $459 million compared to $464 million in the third quarter 2005, as our strong loan growth was offset by higher funding costs.

Noninterest income grew 2 percent in the third quarter 2006 compared with the third quarter 2005, primarily from higher trust and investment management fees related to growth in trust assets and higher gains on private capital investments, partially offset by a decline in service charges on deposit accounts stemming from lower account analysis fees and lower demand deposit balances.

In the third quarter 2006, our noninterest expense grew to $417 million compared to $397 million in the third quarter 2005. Most of this increase was related to salaries and employee benefits, of which $7 million related to both our adoption of the new share-based compensation accounting rules and higher costs for restricted stock awards.

Our effective tax rate increased to 33.6 percent in the third quarter 2006 from 31.7 percent during the third quarter 2005. The lower rate in 2005 was due primarily to reductions in California tax expense from the recognition of lower taxes on our 2004 tax return filed on the worldwide unitary basis and Enterprise Zone tax credits, primarily from prior years but for which we qualified in the third quarter 2005.

In the third quarter 2006, we returned a significant amount of capital to our stockholders in the form of dividends and common stock repurchases. During the third quarter 2006, we paid $67 million in dividends and we repurchased $143 million in shares of common stock. At September 30, 2006, we had $259 million remaining under our current board authorization for the repurchase of our common stock.

Discontinued Operations

During the third quarter 2005, we committed to a plan to exit our international correspondent banking business and entered into a definitive agreement to sell this business to Wachovia Bank, N.A. This business consisted of international payment and trade processing along with the related lending activities. The principal legal closing of the transaction occurred on October 6, 2005 and we received $245 million. During the second quarter 2006, we received an additional $4 million as a contingent purchase price payment.

This transaction has been accounted for as a discontinued operation and all prior periods, except where specifically mentioned, have been restated to reflect this accounting treatment. All of the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been separately identified on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the assets are shown at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to dispose. The average net assets or liabilities of our discontinued operations are reflected in our analysis of net interest margin. All of our offices designated for disposal were closed as of June 30, 2006. The remaining assets include deposits with banks awaiting approval of repatriation of capital and unremitted profits and loans that are maturing by January 2008. The remaining liabilities primarily consist of accrued expenses, which will be settled when due. For the detailed components of our assets and liabilities from discontinued operations, see Note 3 “Discontinued Operations” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, net interest income included the allocation of interest expense from continuing operations to discontinued operations of approximately $4.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, the interest expense allocated to discontinued operations was $11.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations is calculated based on its average net assets and the corresponding cost of funds rate equivalent to the average federal funds purchased rate for the period.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included a $4 million payment from Wachovia Bank, N.A. received in the second quarter of 2006, reflecting the final settlement upon the conversion of our international correspondent banking customer base. Included in noninterest expense were compliance related expenses of $14.0 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and $25.0 million and $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We recorded $1.4 million of expenses related to the termination of lease contracts in the second quarter 2006.

The remaining discussion of our financial results is based on results from continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

Critical Accounting Policies

UnionBanCal Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and the general practices of the banking industry. The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. In many instances, we use a discount factor to determine the present value of assets and liabilities. A change in the discount factor could increase or decrease the values of those assets and liabilities and such a change would result in either a beneficial or adverse impact to our financial results. We use historical loss factors, adjusted for current conditions, to determine the inherent loss that may be present in our loan and lease portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the loss factors that we use. Other significant estimates that we use are employee turnover factors for pension purposes, residual values in our leasing portfolio, fair value of our derivatives and securities, expected useful lives of our depreciable assets and assumptions regarding our effective income tax rates. We enter into derivative contracts to accommodate our customers and for our own risk management purposes. The derivative contracts are generally swaps and option contracts indexed to energy commodities, interest rates or foreign currencies,

35




 

 

 

 

although we could enter into other types of derivative contracts. We value these contracts at fair value, using either readily available, market quoted prices or information that can be extrapolated to approximate a market price. We are subject to US GAAP that may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

Our most significant estimates are approved by our Chief Executive Officer Forum (CEO Forum), which is comprised of our most senior officers. For each financial reporting period, a review of these estimates is presented to and discussed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Understanding our accounting policies is fundamental to understanding our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, both our Critical Accounting Policies and our significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in our 2005 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).

The primary contributors to our financial performance for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 are presented below.

·       There was no provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2006 as credit quality, primarily in our commercial loan portfolio, remained stable. However, we believe that the trend of improving credit quality could be at its peak. (See our discussion under “Allowances for Credit Losses.”)

·       Our net interest income was favorably influenced by higher earning asset volumes (including higher volume for commercial, financial and industrial loans, residential mortgages and construction loans) and higher average yields on our earning assets. Offsetting these positive influences to our net

interest income were higher rates on interest bearing liabilities, lower hedge income and lower noninterest bearing deposit volumes. (See our discussion under “Net Interest Income.”)

The increase in our noninterest income was due to several factors:

              Service charges on deposits decreased primarily due to lower account analysis fees stemming from an increase in the earnings credit rates on deposit balances, as well as from lower demand deposit balances;

              Trust and investment management fees were higher primarily due to higher sales, growth in trust assets and a change in the administration structure of our HighMark funds resulting in additional fees, which were offset by higher outside service expenses (see noninterest expense discussion below). Managed assets decreased by approximately 5 percent, while non-managed assets increased by approximately 5 percent from September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006. Total assets under administration increased by approximately 4 percent, to $218.0 billion, for the same period;

              Net gains on private capital investments were higher compared to the prior year due to higher sales and capital distributions; and

              Included in other noninterest income was a $3.0 million settlement in the third quarter of 2006 associated with an eminent domain action taken by a municipality to take possession of land used by one of our branches.

Our higher noninterest expense was due to several factors:

              Salaries and employee benefits increased primarily as a result of:

·       annual merit increases and higher staff levels; and

·       additional contract labor staff for compliance-related activities; partly offset by

·       lower bonuses and other performance-related incentives, partially offset by increased expenses for stock options and for higher levels of restricted stock grants;

              Outside services expense increased mainly due to higher trust administration expenses, which were offset by increased trust and investment management fee revenue (see noninterest income discussion above);

              Advertising expense was higher mainly due to increased advertising and marketing activities in response to the competitive deposit market; and

              Foreclosed asset income reflected higher gains on the sale of foreclosed properties in the third quarter of 2005.

The primary contributors to our financial performance for the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005 are presented below.

·       The reversal of our allowance for loan losses for the first nine months of 2006 is due to sustained improvement in credit quality, primarily in our commercial loan portfolio. (See our discussion under “Allowances for Credit Losses.”)

·       Our net interest income was favorably influenced by higher earning asset volumes (including higher volumes for commercial, financial and industrial loans, residential mortgages and construction loans) and higher average yields on our earning assets. Offsetting these positive influences to our net interest income were higher rates on interest bearing liabilities, lower hedge income and lower noninterest bearing deposits. (See our discussion under “Net Interest Income.”)

The increase in our noninterest income was due to several factors:

              Trust and investment management fees benefited from higher sales, growth in trust assets, a one-time $3.8 million increase in trust fees resulting from a refinement in our accrual accounting methodology and a change in the administration structure of our HighMark funds resulting in additional fees, which were offset by higher outside services expenses (see noninterest expense discussion below);

              Insurance commissions decreased mainly due to lower revenues from construction-related projects, which slowed in 2006, and lower contingent revenues;

              Merchant banking fees decreased due to a lower volume of syndication transactions than in the same period last year;

              Securities gains were higher mainly due to a $13.3 million loss on the sale of government agency securities in 2005 compared to gains on collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) in 2006;

              Net gains on private capital investments were lower compared to the prior year due to lower sales and capital distributions; and

              Higher other noninterest income, which included gains of $4.2 million from the sales of leased equipment, a $3.0 million settlement associated with an eminent domain action, a $1.8 million gain that resulted from the share redemption by MasterCard Incorporated and lower trading provision adjustments to our reserve for losses on customer derivative contracts.

Our higher noninterest expense was due to several factors:

              Salaries and employee benefits increased primarily as a result of:

·       annual merit increases and higher staff levels;

·       additional contract labor staff for compliance related activities;

·       higher incentive expenses related to stock options and higher levels of restricted stock grants in the first nine months of 2006, partly offset by lower bonuses and other performance-related incentives; and

·       higher employee benefits expense mainly due to increased employee taxes and pension and other postretirement benefits expense due to actuarial adjustments, partly offset by a decrease in workers compensation expense;

              Outside services expense increased mainly due to higher trust administration expenses, which were offset by increased trust and investment management fee revenue (see noninterest income discussion above) and higher cost of services related to title and escrow deposit balances stemming from a higher earnings credit rate in the first nine months of 2006;

              Professional services expense increased mainly due to compliance-related expenses;

              Advertising expense was higher mainly due to increased advertising and marketing activities in response to the competitive deposit market;

              Foreclosed asset income reflected higher gains on the sale of foreclosed properties in the first nine months of 2006;

              Provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments, which declined by $6.0 million compared to the first nine months of 2005 as a result of improvements in the credit quality of our borrowers; and

              Higher other noninterest expense, which included higher software costs, business development costs and charitable contributions, partly offset by declining amortization of identifiable intangibles.

(2)                Annualized.

(3)                Average balances on loans outstanding include all nonperforming loans. The amortized portion of net loan origination fees (costs) is included in interest income on loans, representing an adjustment to the yield.

(4)                Net funding allocated from (to) discontinued operations represents the shortage (excess) of assets over liabilities of discontinued operations. The expense (earnings) on funds allocated from (to) discontinued operations are calculated by taking the net balance and applying an earnings rate or a cost of funds equivalent to the corresponding period’s Federal funds purchased rate.

(1)                Yields and interest income are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent.

(2)                Annualized.

(3)                Average balances on loans outstanding include all nonperforming loans. The amortized portion of net loan origination fees (costs) is included in interest income on loans, representing an adjustment to the yield.

(4)                Net funding allocated from (to) discontinued operations represents the shortage (excess) of assets over liabilities of discontinued operations. The expense (earnings) on funds allocated from (to) discontinued operations are calculated by taking the net balance and applying an earnings rate or a cost of funds equivalent to the corresponding period’s Federal funds purchased rate. The year-to-date expense (earnings) amount is the sum of the quarterly amounts.

Net interest income in the third quarter 2006, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased 1 percent from the third quarter 2005. Our net interest margin decreased by 27 basis points. These results were primarily due to the following:

·       Average earning assets increased $2.5 billion, or 6 percent, primarily due to an increase in average loans, partly offset by a decline in average securities. The increase in average loans was largely due

42




to a $1.8 billion increase in average commercial loans and a $1.2 billion increase in average residential mortgages, while average securities declined by $1.4 billion as a result of sales of approximately $1.5 billion in lower yielding agency securities between September 2005 and December 2005 and maturities offset by purchases of $1.4 billion in higher yielding mortgage securities between December 2005 and September 2006;

·       Yields on our earning assets were favorably impacted by the increasing interest rate environment resulting in a higher average yield on average earning assets of 85 basis points, despite being negatively impacted by lower hedge income, which decreased by $14.8 million;

·       Average noninterest bearing deposits decreased $2.4 billion, or 12 percent, including a decrease of $1.0 billion, or 30 percent, in average title and escrow deposits due to lower residential real estate activity. Average business demand deposits, excluding title and escrow deposits, declined $1.1 billion, or 8 percent, primarily due to deposit pricing pressures resulting from rising short-term interest rates. Consumer demand deposits decreased $311 million, or 10 percent. Average noninterest bearing deposits represented 42 percent of average total deposits in third quarter 2006 compared to 48 percent in the third quarter of 2005; and

·       In the third quarter 2006, the annualized average all-in cost of funds, which included lower hedge income of $3.1 million, was 2.11 percent, reflecting our average deposit-to-loan ratio of 113 percent and the relatively high proportion of noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits. In the third quarter 2005, the annualized all-in cost of funds was 0.96 percent and our average deposit-to-loan ratio was 125 percent.

We use derivatives to hedge expected changes in the yields on our variable rate loans and term certificates of deposit and other time deposits (CDs), and to convert our long-term, fixed-rate borrowings to floating rate. For 2006, these derivative positions are expected to provide less net interest income than in 2005, as positions mature and, to a lesser extent, as interest rates rise. However, as we expected, the declines in hedge income have been offset by increased yields on the underlying variable rate loans. For loans, we had hedge expense of less than $0.1 million and $14.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. For deposits and long-term fixed rate borrowings, we had hedge income of $2.9 million and hedge expense of $0.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Net interest income in the first nine months of 2006, on a taxable equivalent basis, increased 3 percent from the first nine months of 2005. Our net interest margin decreased by 8 basis points. These results were primarily due to the following:

·       Average earning assets increased $1.9 billion, or 5 percent, primarily due to an increase in average loans, partly offset by a decline in average securities. The increase in average loans was largely due to a $2.1 billion increase in average commercial loans and a $1.4 billion increase in average residential mortgages, while average securities declined by $2.3 billion;

·       Yields on our earning assets were favorably impacted by the increasing interest rate environment resulting in a higher average yield on average earning assets of 83 basis points, despite being negatively impacted by lower hedge income, which decreased by $43.8 million;

·       Average noninterest bearing deposits decreased $1.4 billion, or 8 percent, including a decrease of $723 million, or 23 percent, in average title and escrow deposits due to lower residential real estate activity. Average business demand deposits, excluding title and escrow deposits, declined $602 million, or 5 percent, primarily due to deposit pricing pressures resulting from rising short-term interest rates. Consumer demand deposits decreased $118 million, or 4 percent. Average noninterest bearing deposits represented 44 percent of average total deposits in the first nine months of 2006 compared to 48 percent of average total deposits in the first nine months of 2005; and

43




·       In the first nine months of 2006, the annualized average all-in cost of funds, which included lower hedge income of $10.0 million, was 1.78 percent, reflecting our average deposit-to-loan ratio of 113 percent and the relatively high proportion of noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits. In the first nine months of 2005, the annualized all-in-cost of funds was 0.85 percent and the average deposit-to-loan ratio was 127 percent.

We use derivatives to hedge expected changes in the yields on our variable rate loans and term CDs, and to convert our long-term, fixed-rate borrowings to floating rate. For our loans, we had hedge income of $9.2 million and hedge expense of $34.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. For deposits and long-term fixed rate borrowings, hedge income was $10.6 million and $0.6 million for the first nine months of September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense on continuing operations in the third quarter 2006 resulted in a 33.6 percent effective income tax rate compared with an effective tax rate of 31.7 percent for the third quarter 2005. The lower effective tax rate in 2005 was due primarily to reductions in income tax expense of approximately $9.0 million related to an adjustment of 2004 California tax expense to reflect the tax as reported on the tax return filed on the worldwide unitary basis, and to California Enterprise Zone Credits, primarily from prior years, for which we qualified during the third quarter of 2005. Income tax expense in the first nine months of 2006 resulted in a 33.8 percent effective tax rate compared with an effective tax rate of 32.5 percent for the first nine months of 2005. The lower tax rate in 2005 was due primarily to a reduction in reserves of $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2005 for estimated amounts owed to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to certain leveraged leasing transactions and the $9.0 million adjustment in the third quarter of 2005 as discussed above.

For further information regarding income tax expense, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Income Tax Expense” in our 2005 Form 10-K.

Commercial, Financial and Industrial Loans

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. Although many of our customers are located in California, the 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 U.S.

Our commercial market lending originates primarily through our commercial banking offices. These offices, which rely extensively on relationship-oriented banking, provide a variety of services including cash management services, lines of credit, accounts receivable and inventory financing. Separately, we originate or participate in a wide variety of financial services to major corporations. These services include traditional commercial banking and specialized financing tailored to the needs of each customer’s specific industry.

45




 

 

Presently, we are active in, among other sectors, the oil and gas, communications, entertainment, retailing, power and utilities and financial services industries.

The commercial, financial and industrial loan portfolio increased in the third quarter 2006 from the third quarter 2005 mainly due to increased loan demand primarily in the oil and gas and national corporate segments as well as the California middle market.

Construction and Commercial Mortgage Loans

We engage in non-residential real estate lending that includes commercial mortgage loans and construction loans secured by deeds of trust. Construction loans are made primarily to commercial property developers and to residential builders.

The construction loan portfolio increase in the third quarter 2006 from the third quarter 2005 was due to increased demand for residential construction projects with apartment financing representing the largest component.

The commercial mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans on commercial income properties primarily in California. The increase in commercial mortgages between the third quarter of 2006 and the third quarter of 2005 was mainly due to increased demand in the California middle market for real estate related financing.

Residential Mortgage Loans

We originate residential mortgage loans, secured by one-to-four family residential properties, through our multiple channel network (including branches, mortgage brokers, and loan-by-phone) throughout California, Oregon and Washington, and we periodically purchase loans in our market area. At September 30, 2006, 62 percent of our residential mortgage loans were interest only, of which none are negative amortizing. At origination, these interest only loans had relatively high credit scores and had weighted average loan-to-value (LTV) ratios of approximately 65 percent. The remainder of the portfolio consists of balloon or regular amortizing loans.

We hold most of the loans we originate, selling only our 30-year, fixed rate loans, except for Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) loans.

Consumer Loans

We originate consumer loans, such as auto loans and home equity loans and lines, through our branch network. The primary driver of the increase in consumer loans was our “Flex Equity Line/Loan” product. The “Flex Equity Line/Loan” allows our customers the flexibility to manage a line of credit with as many as four fixed rate loans under a single product. We offer a “Flex Equity High LTV” product, which allows our customers to draw up to 100 percent of the value of their real estate or $150 thousand, whichever is less.

Lease Financing

We offer two types of leases to our customers: direct financing leases, where the assets leased are acquired without additional financing from other sources; and leveraged leases, where a substantial portion of the financing is provided by debt with no recourse to us. Included in our lease portfolio are leveraged leases of $553 million, which are net of non-recourse debt of approximately $1.1 billion. We utilize a number of special purpose entities for our leveraged leases. These entities serve legal and tax purposes and do not function as vehicles to shift liabilities to other parties or to deconsolidate affiliates for financial reporting purposes. As allowed by US GAAP and by law, the gross lease receivable is offset by the

46




 

 

qualifying non-recourse debt. In leveraged lease transactions, the third-party lender may only look to the collateral value of the leased assets for repayment.

Cross-Border Outstandings

Our cross-border outstandings, including those that are part of our discontinued operations, 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, 2005, for any country where such outstandings exceeded 1 percent of total assets. For the periods ended December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006 there were no countries where such cross-border 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. For any country shown in the table below, any significant local currency outstandings are either hedged or funded by local currency borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses

We had no provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2006, compared with a reversal of the allowance for loan losses of $15 million in the third quarter of 2005. The $15 million reversal in the third quarter of 2005 included a $10 million reversal of allowance for loan losses related to the sale of our international correspondent banking business. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring our allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors discussed under “Allowances for Credit Losses” below. We also did not record a provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments in either of the quarters ended September 30, 2005 or 2006.

Allowances for Credit Losses

Allowance Policy and Methodology

We maintain allowances for credit losses (defined as both the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for off-balance sheet commitment losses) to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio as well as for leases and off-balance sheet commitments. Understanding our policies on the allowances for credit losses is fundamental to understanding our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, our significant policies and methodology on the allowances for credit losses are discussed in detail in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and in the section “Allowances for Credit Losses” included in our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2005 Form 10-K.

Comparison of the Total Allowances and Related Provision for Credit Losses from December 31, 2005

At September 30, 2006, our total allowances for credit losses was $406 million, which consisted of $327 million related to loans and $79 million related to off-balance sheet commitments. The allowances for credit losses consisted of $343 million and $63 million of allocated and unallocated allowance, respectively. At September 30, 2006, our allowances for credit loss coverage ratios were 1.14 percent of

47




 

 

total loans and 850 percent of total nonaccrual loans. At December 31, 2005, our total allowances for credit losses was $438 million, or 1.32 percent of the total loan portfolio and 744 percent of total nonaccrual loans.

In addition, the allowances incorporate the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in 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.” These accounting standards prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to impaired loans. At September 30, 2006, total impaired loans were $33 million, and the associated impairment allowance was $3 million, compared with $59 million and $13 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005.

At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the allowance for losses related to off-balance sheet commitments included within our total allowances for credit losses, was $79 million and $86 million, respectively. In determining the adequacy of our allowances for credit losses, we consider both the allowance for loan losses and for off-balance sheet commitment losses.

We had no provision for loan losses in the third quarter 2006, as a result of management’s assessment of factors, including the continuing good quality of our loan portfolio, growth in the U.S. economy and stable conditions in domestic markets in which we operate, offset by the growth in the loan portfolio.

During the third quarter of 2006, there were no material changes in estimation methods or assumptions that affected our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the formula and specific allowances for credit losses.

Changes in the Allocated (Formula and Specific) Allowance

At September 30, 2006, the formula allowance decreased to $336 million, compared to $356 million at December 31, 2005. This net decrease was due primarily to the impact of a decrease in criticized loans, partially offset by growth in the commercial loan portfolio.

At September 30, 2006, the specific allowance decreased to $7 million, compared to $17 million at December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily reflective of lower nonaccrual loans.

Changes in the Unallocated Allowance

At September 30, 2006, the unallocated allowance decreased to $63 million from $65 million at December 31, 2005, reflecting management’s belief that the current level of our unallocated allowance is appropriate based on continuing uncertainty associated with our principal portfolio segments as we approach a turning point in credit quality trends. Additionally, the reasons for which we believe an unallocated allowance is warranted are detailed below.

In our assessment as of September 30, 2006, management focused, in particular, on the factors and conditions set out below. 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.

Although in certain instances the downgrading of a loan resulting from the effects of the conditions described below has been reflected in the formula allowance, management believes that 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 to such loans. In addition, our formula allowance does not take into consideration sector-specific changes in the severity of losses that are expected to arise from current economic conditions compared with our historical losses. Accordingly, our evaluation of the probable losses related to the impact of these factors was reflected in the unallocated

48




 

 

allowance. The evaluations of the inherent losses with respect to these factors are subject to higher degrees of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits.

The following describes some of the specific conditions we considered:

·       With respect to commercial real estate, we considered the improvement in the commercial real estate sector, partly offset by weakness in the residential construction market, which could be in the range of $8 million to $20 million.

·       With respect to fuel prices, we considered the ability of borrowers to absorb higher oil prices without anticipated negative effects, the decline in the costs of oil and petroleum products and the impact across virtually all sectors of the economy, which could be in a range of $4 million to $19 million.

·       With respect to concentrated sales, which include suppliers of “big box” stores like Costco, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowe’s and other companies that generate 15 percent or more of their revenues from one customer, we considered the potential negative impact competitive market pricing would have on their profit margins, which could be in the range of $7 million to $12 million.

·       With respect to contractors, we considered the decline in new home sales, partially offset by the impact of lower commodity prices on contractor margins, which could be in the range of $5 million to $7 million.

·       With respect to leasing, we considered the uncertain state of the airline industry, as well as improving positions in our utilities portfolio, which could be in the range of $3 million to $6 million.

Accordingly, our evaluation of the probable losses related to the impact of these factors was reflected in the unallocated allowance.

Total loans charged off in the third quarter 2006 decreased from the third quarter 2005, primarily due to the charge off of a single commercial aircraft lease in the third quarter of 2005. Charge offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were recognized previously through the provision for credit losses. In addition, third quarter 2006 recoveries of loans previously charged off decreased from the third quarter of 2005 primarily as a result of a single large commercial loan recovery in the third quarter of 2005 totaling over $9 million. Such fluctuations in loan recoveries from year-to-year are due to variability in timing of recoveries and tend to trail the periods in which charge offs are recorded.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed assets. Nonaccrual loans are those for which management has discontinued accrual of interest because there exists significant uncertainty as to the full and timely collection of either principal or interest or such loans have become contractually past due 90 days with respect to principal or interest. For a more detailed discussion of the accounting for nonaccrual loans, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2005 Form 10-K.

Foreclosed assets include property where we acquired title through foreclosure or “deed in lieu” of foreclosure.

The following table sets forth an analysis of nonperforming assets.

The increase in nonaccrual loans from the third quarter 2005 was primarily due to a moderate increase in nonaccruing commercial mortgage and lease financing loans partially offset by pay-downs, note sales, and charge offs. During the third quarter 2006, we had no sales of nonperforming loans compared to $4.0 million in sales in the third quarter 2005. Losses and recoveries that result when the sale decision is made are reflected in our net charge offs.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk exists primarily in interest rate risk in our non-trading balance sheet and, to a much lesser degree, in price risk in our trading portfolio for our customer-focused trading and sales activities. The objective of market risk management is to mitigate any undue adverse impact on earnings and capital arising from changes in interest rates and other market variables and to ensure the Bank has adequate sources of liquidity. This risk management objective supports our broad objective of enhancing shareholder value, which encompasses stable earnings growth over time and capital stability. During the second quarter 2006, the Bank’s structure for governing market risk was enhanced by expanding the involvement of Executive Management in the process.

The Board of Directors, through its Finance and Capital Committee, approves our Asset and Liability Management (ALM), Investment and Derivatives Policy, which governs the management of market risk and guides our investment and derivatives activities. The ALM Committee (ALCO) is comprised of the members of the CEO Forum and our Treasurer. ALCO provides the broad and strategic guidance of market risk management. ALCO is also responsible for ongoing management of market risk and approves specific risk management programs. The Treasurer is primarily responsible for the implementation of risk management strategies approved by ALCO and for operating management of market risk through the funding, investment, and derivatives hedging activities of Corporate Treasury. The manager of the Global Markets Division is responsible for operating management of price risk through the trading activities conducted in that division. The Market Risk Monitoring unit is responsible for the monitoring of market risk and functions independently of all operating and management units.

We have separate and distinct methods for managing the market risk associated with our asset and liability management activities and our trading activities, as described below.

Interest Rate Risk Management (Other Than Trading)

During the first nine months of 2006, our interest rate risk shifted from asset sensitive to a neutral to slightly liability sensitive profile as a result of several factors. In January and September 2006, we added $1 billion and $900 million, respectively, of new floor hedges to reduce our downside asset-sensitivity (see our discussion of “ALM Derivatives” below). In May 2006, we added $700 million notional amount of interest rate swaps to convert the Bank’s $700 million fixed rate debt issuance to floating rates. Additionally, changes in our balance sheet composition and refinements to our deposit price sensitivity model continued to reduce our asset sensitivity.

52




 

 

 

At September 30, 2006, Economic Net Interest Income (NII) sensitivity was neutral to slightly liability sensitive to parallel rate shifts. A +200 basis point parallel shift would reduce 12-month Economic NII by 1.02 percent, while a similar downward shift would increase it by 0.18 percent. This compares with an estimated 1.04 percent increase and 2.22 percent decrease, respectively, at September 30, 2005. We caution that ongoing enhancements to our interest rate risk modeling may make prior-year comparisons of Economic NII less meaningful. Economic NII adjusts our reported NII for the effect of certain non-interest bearing deposit related fee and expense items. Those adjustment items are innately liability-sensitive, meaning that reported NII is more asset-sensitive than is Economic NII.

The figures in the above table are reported on a continuing operations basis, with all assets and liabilities associated with the disposal of the international correspondent banking business eliminated. We believe that this approach provides the best representation of our risk profiles. In the case of non-parallel yield curve changes, our Economic NII is liability sensitive to changes in short-term rates (with long-term rates held constant) and asset sensitive to changes in long-term rates (with short-term rates held constant).

ALM Activities

During the first nine months of 2006, our balance sheet shifted from an asset sensitive profile to a neutral to slightly liability sensitive profile, meaning that the current mix of assets reprices less quickly than our current mix of liabilities. The change in profile resulted primarily from increased asset growth funded by proportionally more short-term wholesale liabilities and increased deposit pricing sensitivity during the third quarter. In managing the interest rate sensitivity of our balance sheet, we use the ALM investment securities portfolio and derivatives positions as the primary tools to adjust our interest rate risk profile, if necessary. During the first nine months of 2006, we reinvested proceeds from maturing ALM securities into securities with like terms and asset allocation. New derivative hedges were also added during the year as described below.

ALM Investments

At December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, our securities available for sale portfolio included $6.4 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively, of securities for ALM purposes. During the first nine months of 2006, we purchased approximately $1.4 billion of securities, which included the impact of our portfolio rebalancing strategy completed in the first quarter of 2006. Approximately $1.1 billion of ALM securities matured or were called during this period. The composition of the portfolio is expected to remain relatively stable for the remainder of 2006. The estimated ALM portfolio effective duration was 2.0 at September 30, 2006, compared to 2.2 at December 31, 2005.

Effective duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a bond portfolio to immediate parallel shifts in interest rates. An effective duration of 2.0 suggests an expected price change of approximately minus 2.0 percent for an immediate 1.0 percent increase in interest rates.

53




 

 

 

ALM Derivatives

In January and September 2006, we purchased $1 billion and $900 million notional amount, respectively, of LIBOR floors in order to moderate the downside asset-sensitivity of our overall risk position while retaining the upside sensitivity should rates rise further. Additionally, in May 2006, the Bank initiated a $4 billion Bank Note program and issued $700 million principal amount of ten-year, fixed-rate subordinated notes, which were converted to a floating rate through the use of interest rate swap contracts. During the first nine months of 2006, the ALM derivatives portfolio declined by a net $350 million notional, as $3.0 billion of notional amount contracts matured, offset partially by $2.6 billion notional of purchases.

The fair value of the ALM derivative contracts declined throughout the year as several “in-the-money” interest rate swap contracts matured and as the value of our remaining receive fixed interest rate swaps and floor option contracts declined with rising interest rates. For additional discussion of derivative instruments and our hedging strategies, see Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report and Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The following table provides the notional value and the fair value of our ALM derivatives portfolio as of September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005, and September 30, 2006 and the change in fair value between December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006.

Trading Activities

We market energy derivatives contracts to existing energy industry customers, primarily oil and gas producers, in order to meet their hedging needs. Volume increased from $1.5 billion in notional amount of contracts outstanding at December 31, 2005 to $3.0 billion notional amount at September 30, 2006. Consistent with our customer interest rate derivatives business, all transactions are fully matched to remove our exposure to market risk, with income produced from the credit spread earned.

For information about the market risk in our trading activities, please see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2005 Form 10-K.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the undue risk to the Bank’s earnings and capital, which would result from the Bank’s inability to meet its obligations as they come due without incurring unacceptable costs. Liquidity risk management is governed by the ALM Policy, which is approved by the Finance and Capital Committee of

54




 

 

 

the Board. The approval of our Liquidity Contingency Plan by ALCO is dependent on the outcome of our monthly ongoing reviews of our liquidity situation. Liquidity is managed through this ALCO coordination process on an entity-wide basis, encompassing all major business units. Our liquidity management is implemented through our three primary sources of liquidity: core deposits, drawing upon the strengths of our extensive retail and commercial core deposit franchise; asset liquidation, including securities sold under repurchase agreements; and treasury funding, which includes funds raised from interbank and other sources, both domestic and offshore.

Core deposits provide us with a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. Our average core deposits, which include demand deposits, money market demand accounts, and savings and consumer time deposits, combined with average common stockholders’ equity, funded over 76 percent of average total assets of approximately $50.8 billion in the third quarter of 2006. Most of the remaining funding was provided by short-term borrowings in the form of certificates of deposit, large time deposits, foreign deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, commercial paper, and other borrowings.

Our securities portfolio provides additional enhancement to our liquidity position, which may be created through either securities sales or repurchase agreements. At September 30, 2006, we could have sold or transferred under repurchase agreements approximately $4.5 billion of our available for sale securities. Liquidity may also be provided by the sale or maturity of other assets such as interest-bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, and trading account securities. The aggregate balance of these assets averaged $1.3 billion in the third quarter of 2006. Additional liquidity may be provided through loan maturities and sales.

(1)                   Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets (excluding certain intangible assets).

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).

The increase in the Total capital ratios from September 30, 2005 was primarily due to an increase in our total risk-based capital, which resulted from our net income and the Bank’s issuance of $700 million of subordinated notes in May 2006, less dividends and stock repurchases, offset by an increase in risk-weighted assets stemming from growth in our loan portfolio and unfunded commitments. The increase in our leverage ratios from September 30, 2005 was primarily due to the increase in our Tier 1 capital.

As of September 30, 2006, 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.

Business Segments

In July 2006, we formally reorganized our operating segments by disaggregating the businesses that were formerly managed and reported under the Community Banking and Investment Services Group or the Commercial Financial Services Group. We believe that this new organizational structure will enhance our focus on target markets and enterprise wide sales and service. The various operating segments reporting under our Chief Operating Officer and the Group Head of Pacific Rim Corporate Group have been aggregated into two reportable business segments entitled “Retail Banking” and “Wholesale Banking” based upon the aggregation criteria prescribed in SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS No. 131).

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, market and operational. Credit risk is the potential loss in economic value due to the likelihood that the obligor will not perform as agreed. Market risk is the potential loss in fair value due to changes in interest rates, currency rates and equity prices. Operational risk is the potential loss due to all other factors, such as failures in internal control, system failures, or external events. RAROC is one of several measures that is used to measure business unit compensation.

The following tables reflect the condensed income statements, selected average balance sheet items, and selected financial ratios, including changes from the prior year, for each of our reportable business segments. The information presented does not necessarily represent the businesses’ financial condition and results of operations as if they were independent entities. In 2006, we changed our reporting to reflect a “market view” perspective in measuring our operating segments. The market view is a measurement of our customer markets aggregated to show all revenues generated and expenses incurred from all products and services sold to those customers regardless of where product areas organizationally report. Therefore, revenues and expenses are included in both the operating segment that provides the service and the operating segment that manages the customer relationship. The duplicative results from this internal management accounting view are reflected in “Reconciling Items.” The market view approach fosters cross-selling with a total profitability view of the products and services being managed. For example, the Securities Trading and Sales unit within the Global Markets Division is a business unit that manages the fixed income securities activities for all retail and corporate customers throughout the Bank. This unit retains and also allocates revenues and expenses to divisions responsible for such retail and commercial customer relationships.

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 for 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 allocated to the business units based on a predetermined percentage of usage.

The reportable business segment results for the prior periods have been adjusted to reflect changes in the transfer pricing methodology, the organizational changes that have occurred, our discontinued operations and the market view contribution.

Retail Banking

Retail Banking provides financial products including credit, deposit, trust, investment management and risk management delivered through our branches, relationship managers, private bankers and trust administrators, to individuals, small businesses and institutional clients.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net income of Retail Banking increased by 13 percent, compared to the same period in 2005, reflecting this segment’s continued focus on growing the consumer asset portfolio and attracting retail and small business deposits. Net interest income increased by 8 percent during the first nine months of 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to higher transfer pricing credits received on deposits.

59




 

 

 

 

The Retail Banking strategy is to grow assets through a focused small business sales effort, increased emphasis on real estate-secured and Small Business Administration (SBA) guaranteed loans, and a network of residential real estate brokers. The focus on home equity loans and more effective cross-selling efforts have led to an overall growth in consumer loans. We expect a larger branch network, created from new branches and acquired branches, to improve growth prospects when combined with more robust efforts in the telephone and internet channels.

Despite the decrease in the first nine months of 2006 of 4 percent in average total deposits, compared to the same period in 2005 (which primarily reflects increased competition for interest bearing deposits), Retail Banking continues to focus on attracting consumer and small business deposits through marketing activities, relationship management, increased and improved sales resources, new locations, and new products.

Of the 9 percent increase in Retail Banking noninterest income for the first nine months of 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, trust fees contributed 5 percent of the growth, primarily due to growth in trust assets and a refinement in accrual methodology implemented in the first quarter of 2006. In addition, deposit fees contributed 1 percent to the increase.

The increase in noninterest expenses during the first nine months of 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, was mainly due to higher staff expenses, as well as higher compliance related activities.

Retail Banking is comprised of the following major divisions: Retail Banking Branches, Consumer Asset Management, Wealth Management and Institutional Services and Asset Management.

·       Retail Banking Branches serves its customers through 316 full-service branches in California, 4 full-service branches in Oregon and Washington, and a network of 606 proprietary ATMs. Customers also access our services 24 hours a day by telephone or through our website at www.unionbank.com. In addition, the branches offer automated teller and point-of-sale merchant services.

Retail Banking Branches is organized by geography. We serve our customers in the following ways:

—    through conveniently located banking branches, which serve consumers and businesses with checking and deposit services, as well as various types of consumer financing; and investment services;

—    through our internet banking services, which augment our physical delivery channels by providing an array of customer transaction, bill payment and loan payment services;

—    through business banking centers, which serve small businesses; and

—    through in-store branches.

·       Consumer Asset Management provides the centralized origination, underwriting, processing, servicing, collection and administration for consumer assets including residential mortgages.

Through alliances with other financial institutions, Consumer Asset Management offers additional products and services, such as credit cards, merchant bank cards, leasing, and asset-based and leveraged financing.

Our Retail Banking Branches and Consumer Asset Management divisions compete with larger banks by attempting to provide service quality superior to that of our major competitors. The primary means of competing with community banks include our branch network and our technology to deliver banking services. We also offer convenient banking hours to consumers through our drive-through banking locations and selected branches that are open seven days a week.

60




 

 

 

 

These divisions compete 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.

·       Wealth Management provides comprehensive private banking services to our affluent clientele. 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 15 existing locations, The Private Bank relationship managers offer all of our available products and services.

·       Institutional Services and Asset Management provides investment management and administration services for a broad range of individuals and institutions.

—    HighMark Capital Management, Inc., a registered investment advisor, provides investment management and advisory services to institutional clients as well as investment advisory, administration and support services to our proprietary mutual funds, the affiliated HighMark Funds. It also provides investment management services to Union Bank of California, N.A. with respect to most of its trust and agency clients, including corporations, pension funds and individuals. HighMark Capital Management, Inc.’s strategy is to broaden its client base and to increase the assets of the HighMark Funds.

—    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, provides escrow services and trustee services for project finance. 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 its position in our target markets.

Wholesale Banking

Wholesale Banking offers financing, depository, cash management and insurance services to middle market and large corporate businesses primarily headquartered in the western United States. Wholesale Banking continues to focus on specific geographic markets and industry segments such as energy, entertainment, and real estate. Relationship managers 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, Wholesale Banking offers cash management services delivered through deposit managers with significant industry expertise and experience in cash management solutions for businesses, U.S. correspondent banks and government entities, as well as investment and risk management products.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net income of Wholesale Banking increased by 2 percent, compared to the same period in 2005, due to higher net interest income partially offset by lower noninterest income and higher noninterest expense. Net interest income increased by 7 percent during the first nine months of 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to higher transfer pricing credits received on deposits and continued strong growth in loans.

61




 

 

 

 

During the first nine months of 2006, average loans increased by 16 percent, compared to the same period in 2005. This was primarily due to increased commercial loan demand in the oil and gas and national corporate segments, as well as the California middle market.

Noninterest income decreased by 4 percent, compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to a lower volume of syndication transactions and lower deposit fees resulting from higher earnings credit rates on deposit balances. The increase in noninterest expense during the first nine months of 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, was mainly due to higher performance-related incentive expense, including the impact of stock options and restricted stock expenses, which prior to 2006 had not been allocated to the business units.

Wholesale Banking initiatives continue to include expanding deposit activities and loan strategies that include originating, underwriting and syndicating loans in core competency markets, such as the California middle-market, corporate banking, commercial real estate, energy, equipment leasing and commercial finance. Commercial Deposit and Treasury Management Division is particularly strong in processing services, including services such as Automated Clearing House (ACH), check processing, and cash vault services.

Wholesale Banking is comprised of the following main divisions:

·       the Commercial Banking Division, which serves California middle-market and large corporate companies with commercial lending, trade financing, and asset-based loans;

·       the Real Estate Industries Division, which provides real estate lending products such as construction loans, commercial mortgages and bridge financing;

·       the Energy Capital Services Division, which provides corporate financing and project financing to oil and gas companies, as well as power and utility companies, nationwide;

·       the Equipment Leasing Division, which provides lease financing services to corporate customers nationwide;

·       the National Banking Division, which provides financing, deposits and traditional banking services to corporate clients primarily headquartered outside California;

·       the Commercial Deposit and Treasury Management Division, which provides deposit and cash management expertise to middle-market and large corporate clients, government agencies and specialized industries. This division also manages Union Bank of California, N.A.’s web strategies for retail, small business, wealth management and commercial clients, as well as commercial product development;

·       the Corporate Capital Markets Division, which provides 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;

·       Global Markets serves our customers with their insurance, foreign exchange and interest rate risk management and investment needs. The Global Markets Division offers energy derivative contracts, on a limited basis, to serve our energy sector client base. The division takes market risk when buying and selling securities and foreign exchange contracts for its own account, but takes no market risk when providing insurance or derivative contracts, since the market risk for these products is offset with third parties. The division also includes UnionBanc Investment Services LLC, which is a subsidiary of Union Bank of California, N.A.;

62




 

 

 

 

·       Insurance Services products are sold through UnionBanc Insurance Services, Inc., the insurance agency subsidiary of UBOC Insurance, Inc. UBOC Insurance, Inc. is a subsidiary of Union Bank of California, N.A.; and

·       Pacific Rim Corporate Group offers a range of credit, deposit, and investment management products and services to companies in the U.S., which are affiliated with companies headquartered in Japan.

The main strategy of our Wholesale Banking business units is to target industries and companies for which we can reasonably expect to be one of a customer’s primary banks. Consistent with this strategy, Wholesale Banking business units attempt to serve a large part of the targeted customers’ credit and depository needs. The Wholesale Banking business units compete with other banks primarily on the basis of the quality of our relationship managers, the level of industry expertise, the delivery of quality customer service, and our reputation as a “business bank.”  We also compete with a variety of other financial services companies as well as non-bank companies. Competitors include other major California banks, as well as regional, national and international banks. In addition, we compete with investment banks, commercial finance companies, leasing companies and insurance companies.

Other

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net income decreased by $56 million over the same period in 2005 and by $18 million in the third quarter 2006 over the same period in the prior year, due to lower net interest income primarily related to the net impact of funds transfer pricing as market rates increased. Also contributing to the decline was a lower credit to the loan loss provision compared with the prior year. The decrease was partially offset by higher noninterest income resulting from a $13 million loss on the sale of securities in 2005 compared to a gain on collateralized loan obligations (CLO’s) in 2006.

“Other” includes the following items:

·       the funds transfer pricing results for the entire company, which allocates to the other business segments their cost of funds on all asset categories and credit for funds on all liability categories;

·       Corporate Treasury, which is responsible for our ALM, wholesale funding, and the ALM Investment and derivatives hedging portfolios. These treasury management activities are carried out to counter-balance the residual risk positions of our balance sheet and to manage those risks within the guidelines established by ALCO. (For additional discussion regarding these risk management activities, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”);

·       the adjustment between the credit expense under RAROC and the provision for credit losses under US GAAP and earnings associated with unallocated equity capital;

·       the residual costs of support groups;

·       corporate activities that are not directly attributable to one of the two business segments. Included in this category are certain other items such as the results of operations of certain non-bank subsidiaries of UnionBanCal Corporation and the elimination of the fully taxable-equivalent basis amount;

·       the discontinued operations resulting from the sale of our international correspondent banking business; and

·       the adjustment between the tax expense calculated under RAROC using a tax rate of 38.25 percent and our effective tax rates.

63




 

 

 

 

The financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were impacted by the following factors:

·       net interest income is the result of differences between the credit for equity for the reportable segments under RAROC and the net interest income earned by UnionBanCal Corporation and transfer pricing results. Net interest income declined $64.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily as a result of the net impact of changes in transfer pricing rates over the prior period as market rates increased;

·       credit expense (income) of ($98.6) million was due to the difference between the $8.0 million reversal of allowance for loan losses calculated under our US GAAP methodology and the $90.6 million in expected losses for the reportable business segments, which utilizes the RAROC methodology;

·       noninterest income of $6.8 million;

·       noninterest expense of $55.5 million related to residual costs of support groups and corporate activities not directly related to either of the two business segments; and

·       loss from discontinued operations of $9.4 million.

The financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were impacted by the following factors:

·       net interest income is the result of differences between the credit for equity for the reportable segments under RAROC, the net transfer pricing results and the net interest income earned by UnionBanCal Corporation;

·       credit expense (income) of ($139.2) million was due to the difference between the $40.7 million reversal of provision for loan losses calculated under our US GAAP methodology and the $98.5 million in expected losses for the reportable business segments, which utilizes the RAROC methodology;

·       noninterest income (expense) of ($12.4) million;

·       noninterest expense of $65.6 million related to residual costs of support groups and corporate activities not directly related to either of the two business segments; and

·       income tax expense included a credit adjustment of $19.0 million: $10.0 million to reflect a reduction in reserves for estimated amounts owed to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax treatment of certain leveraged lease transactions and approximately $9.0 million related to an adjustment of 2004 California tax expense to reflect the taxes reported on the tax return filed on the worldwide unitary basis, and to California Enterprise Zone Credits, for which we qualified during the third quarter 2005.

Regulatory Matters

In October 2004, Union Bank of California International entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York relating to Union Bank of California International’s Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering controls and processes. Union Bank of California International, a wholly owned subsidiary of Union Bank of California, N.A., and an Edge Act subsidiary, is limited to engaging in international banking activities, most of which were sold in October 2005. We expect to dissolve this subsidiary in 2006. Although the principal business activities of this subsidiary have been sold, we remain legally responsible for resolving the issues raised by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

64




 

 

 

 

In March 2005, Union Bank of California, N.A. entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which requires Union Bank of California, N.A. to strengthen its Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering controls and processes. During 2005, we began the process of strengthening those controls and processes.

Management is committed to resolving the issues raised by the regulators and continues to take actions it believes to be appropriate to achieve this objective.

Until resolved, these pending regulatory matters, or any future regulatory actions concerning anti-money laundering controls and processes, may adversely affect UnionBanCal Corporation’s and Union Bank of California, N.A.’s ability to obtain regulatory approvals for future initiatives requiring regulatory approval, including acquisitions. Also, any future regulatory actions relating to this subject could result in the imposition of fines or penalties as has occurred with a number of other banks in recent years. However, neither Union Bank of California, N.A.’s memorandum of understanding with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Union Bank of California International’s agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, nor the financial impact of enhanced Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering controls and processes, are expected to have a material adverse impact on the financial condition or results of operations of Union Bank of California, N.A. or UnionBanCal Corporation.

The SEC is conducting an inquiry regarding certain practices related to our mutual fund activities. The inquiry concerns the use of a portion of the fees received under an agreement from the HighMark Funds by an unaffiliated administrator to pay expenses related to the marketing and distribution of fund shares. The HighMark Funds is a family of mutual funds managed by HighMark Capital Management, Inc., the investment management subsidiary of Union Bank of California, N.A. We are cooperating with this inquiry.

Item 3.            Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A discussion of our market risk exposure is incorporated by reference to Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q under the captions “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” “Liquidity Risk,” and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2005 Form 10-K.

Item 4.            Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2006. This conclusion is based on an evaluation conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management. Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures which ensure that information required to be disclosed in this filing is accumulated and communicated to management and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of the action filed by DataTreasury Corporation, please refer to Item 1 of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

We are subject to various other pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. We maintain reserves for losses from legal actions that are both probable and estimable. In addition, we believe the disposition of all claims currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, those risks set forth in Item 1A of Part I of our 2005 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, in addition to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Regulatory Matters” in Item 2 of Part I of this Form 10-Q, as well as risks associated with reputational damage from negative publicity, operational or risk management failures from technological or other factors, and the following information.

Our deposit customers may pursue alternatives to bank deposits or seek higher yielding deposits, causing us to incur increased funding costs

We are facing increasing deposit-pricing pressures. Checking and savings account balances and other forms of deposits can decrease when our deposit customers perceive alternative investments, such as the stock market, other non-depository investments or higher yielding deposits, as providing superior expected returns. Technology and other changes have made it more convenient for bank customers to transfer funds into alternative investments or other deposit accounts, including products offered by other financial institutions or non-bank service providers. Additional increases in short-term interest rates could increase such transfers of deposits to higher yielding deposits or other investments. Efforts and initiatives we undertake to retain and increase deposits, including deposit pricing, can increase our costs. When bank customers move money out of bank deposits in favor of alternative investments or into higher yielding deposits, we can lose a relatively inexpensive source of funds, increasing our funding cost.

Changes in the premiums payable to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will increase our costs and could adversely affect our business

Deposits of Union Bank of California, N.A. are insured up to statutory limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, and, accordingly, are subjected to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund. Union Bank of California, N.A. currently pays no insurance assessments on these deposits under the FDIC’s risk-related assessment system. However, in November 2006, the FDIC issued a final rule to be effective January 1, 2007 that creates a new assessment system designed to more closely tie what banks pay for deposit insurance to the risks they pose and adopts a new base schedule of rates that the FDIC can adjust up or down, depending on the revenue needs of the insurance fund. This new assessment system is expected to result in increased annual assessments on deposits of Union Bank of California, N.A. of 5 to 7 basis points. An FDIC credit for prior contributions is expected to offset the assessment for 2007 and may offset a portion of the assessment for 2008. Significant increases in the insurance assessments Union Bank of California, N.A. pays will increase our costs once the credit is exceeded.
