Stephen H. Gordon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “In early 2004, the Company embarked on the next phase of becoming a premier, niche focused, California-based banking franchise. In June of 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Hawthorne Financial Corporation. During the second half of 2004, the Company successfully completed the corporate and systems integration and achieved the projected cost savings significantly ahead of schedule. The Company also successfully repositioned the composition of both the loan and deposit portfolios, while driving its efficiency ratio back down to 28%, all while generating returns on tangible equity in excess of 30%. The Company enters 2005 poised for significant growth and profitability, with a record loan origination pipeline, growing capital ratios, total assets of over $5 billion, excellent asset quality, 21 banking offices, dividends being paid to shareholders and a market cap that has grown to $1.3 billion. Additionally, the Company is proud of the recognition of having just been added to the NASDAQ Financial 100 Index.” Gordon continued, “The mission for 2005 is clear: continued focus and discipline while executing on our efficient, niche growth plan which is generating strong returns for our shareholders.”

Some of the Company’s fourth quarter 2004 highlights and achievements include:

The Company entered the fourth quarter of 2004 with a core loan origination pipeline of $322 million and total loan origination pipeline of $353 million. The Company’s core loan originations were $495.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2004, a decrease of 9% and an increase of 80% from $545.0 million and $274.9 million for the third quarter of 2004 and fourth quarter of 2003, respectively. The Company’s total loan originations were $540.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2004, a decrease of 7% and an increase of 78% from $583.2 million and $304.0 million for the third quarter of 2004 and fourth quarter of 2003, respectively.

The Company entered the first quarter of 2005 with a record core loan origination pipeline of $483 million at December 31, 2004, and a record total loan origination pipeline of $497 million, increases of 50% and 41%, respectively, from that which it entered the fourth quarter of 2004. The Company projects significant loan originations volume during the first quarter driven by strong volumes of adjustable rate core loan originations tied to market sensitive indices, with the Company’s loan origination pipeline rates floating with market interest rates.

The Company successfully remixed the composition of its loan portfolio during the quarter ended December 31, 2004, completing the sale of $166.3 million of lower coupon, intermediate duration single family hybrid loans, and other lower coupon single family loans. These loans were replaced by the Company’s core loan originations during the quarter resulting in multi-family and commercial real estate loans increasing to 71% of total loans, while single family loans were reduced to 21% of total loans. The Company’s multi-family loans held for investment portfolio grew during the fourth quarter of 2004 at an annualized rate of 29% to $2.40 billion at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2004, the weighted average months to reset or maturity on the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio shortened to 12 months, compared to 13 months at September 30, 2004.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses was 0.93% of net loans held for investment at December 31, 2004, compared to 0.94% at September 30, 2004, and 0.37% at December 31, 2003. The Company determined that a provision for loan losses was not required for the fourth quarter of 2004 based on the asset quality review completed during the quarter. Nonperforming assets totaled $6.4 million, or 0.13% of total assets, at December 31, 2004, compared to $5.1 million, or 0.10% of total assets, at September 30, 2004. At December 31, 2004, the allowance for loan losses totaled 572% of nonperforming assets.

2/15



The Company continued to successfully remix the composition of its deposits, with transaction account balances increasing to 55% of total deposits at December 31, 2004, compared to 52% at September 30, 2004 and 50% at June 30, 2004. Business deposits increased to 29% of total transaction deposits at December 31, 2004, compared to 22% at September 30, 2004 and 19% at June 30, 2004.

The Company’s equity to assets and tangible equity to assets ratios increased to 12.44% and 5.21% at December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to 12.26% and 4.94% at September 30, 2004, respectively, and compared to 5.92% and 5.17% at December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company’s tangible equity to tangible assets ratio increased to 5.62% at December 31, 2004, compared to 5.33% and 5.20% at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

The Company’s book value per share increased to $11.47 at December 31, 2004, compared to $11.20 and $3.41 at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company’s tangible book value per share increased 6% to $4.80 at December 31, 2004 from $4.51 at September 30, 2004, and 62% from $2.97 at December 31, 2003.

The Company’s total revenues, defined as interest income plus noninterest income, increased 11% to $67.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, from $60.6 million for the third quarter of 2004, and 222% from $20.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2003.

The Company’s net income increased 12% to $20.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, from $18.0 million for the third quarter of 2004, and 229% from $6.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2003.

The Company’s noninterest income, which during the fourth quarter of 2004 was comprised primarily of loan related fees, mortgage banking fees and gains on the sale of loans, as well as retail banking fees and other fees, increased 85% and 367% to $6.7 million, compared to $3.6 million and $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2004 and fourth quarter of 2003, respectively.

The Company’s general and administrative expenses to average assets was 1.01% for the fourth quarter of 2004, compared to 1.05% and 0.90% for the third quarter of 2004 and fourth quarter of 2003, respectively. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 28.13% for the fourth quarter of 2004, compared to 30.59% and 25.82% for the third quarter of 2004 and fourth quarter of 2003, respectively.

In May 2004, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 2.5% of the Company’s proforma shares outstanding, giving effect to the Hawthorne acquisition, not to exceed $20 million in value. At December 31, 2004, the Company had repurchased a total of 831,700 shares at an average price of $19.12, of which 174,300 shares were purchased during the fourth quarter at an average price of $21.85. The Company’s share repurchase authorization remains in effect.

The Company was the 27th largest thrift in the country, and sixth largest in California, according to September 30, 2004 data from SNL Financial. The Bank was the fastest growing savings institution in California for the 36-month period ended September 30, 2004, according to data available from the FDIC website www.fdic.gov.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The Company’s net interest income increased 211% and 174% to $38.5 million and $113.0 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, from $12.4 million and $41.2 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company’s net interest margin decreased 11 basis points to 3.38% for the fourth quarter of 2004, compared to 3.49% for the third quarter of 2004 and increased 15 basis points compared to 3.23% for the fourth quarter of 2003.

3/15

The Company’s yield on total loans increased six basis points to 5.47% for the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to 5.41% for the third quarter of 2004. The Company’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 18 basis points to 2.04% for the fourth quarter of 2004, compared to 1.86%, for the third quarter of 2004. The Company’s cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 14 basis points to 1.71% for the fourth quarter of 2004, compared to 1.57% for the third quarter of 2004. The Company’s cost of funds, including the effect of noninterest-bearing deposits, increased 18 basis points to 2.00% for the fourth quarter of 2004, compared to 1.82% for the third quarter of 2004.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased 367% and 65% to $6.7 million and $15.1 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, from $1.4 million and $9.2 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. Loan and retail banking fee income increased 388% and 384% to $2.1 million and $6.5 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, from $438,000 and $1.4 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. The increases in loan related fees compared to the year ago periods were driven by loan prepayment fees of $1.4 million and $4.7 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to $381,000 and $1.1 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company’s noninterest income included gains on sales of loans and securities of $3.8 million and $6.2 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to $680,000 and $6.0 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company accelerated the remix of the composition of its loan portfolio by selling $166.3 million of single family residential loans, which resulted in the gain on sale of loans included in noninterest income during the fourth quarter of 2004.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 28.13% and 28.09% for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to 25.82% and 28.06% for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. General and administrative expenses were 1.01% and 0.99% of total average assets for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to 0.90% and 1.09% for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

The Company’s general and administrative expenses totaled $12.7 million and $36.0 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to $3.6 million and $14.1 million for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. The increases during the periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the periods ended December 31, 2003 are primarily due to higher personnel and operational costs, including occupancy, marketing and insurance costs related to the additional operations from the acquisition of Hawthorne, as well as the growth and maturation of the Company. The Company recorded $203,000 and $464,000 of amortization of the core deposit intangible for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Hawthorne. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company recorded a $416,000 reduction in its liability on unfunded commitments primarily reflecting the decline in the Company’s unfunded construction loan commitments.

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 37.26% and 37.80% for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to 39.49% and 39.33% for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. The reduction of the Company’s effective tax rate during the periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the year ago periods reflects the realization of low income housing and other tax credits, and the origination of income property loans in enterprise zones that generate certain state tax benefits.

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL

The Company had total consolidated assets of $5.02 billion at December 31, 2004, an increase of 1% and 192% from $4.97 billion and $1.72 billion at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Total loans, which include loans held for investment, net of allowances, and loans held for sale totaled $3.91 billion, an increase of 1% and 268% from $3.88 billion and $1.06 billion at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

4/15



At December 31, 2004, multi-family loans held for investment totaled $2.40 billion, representing 61% of total loans held for investment, an increase of 7% from $2.24 billion at September 30, 2004. At December 31, 2003, multi-family loans represented 89% of total loans held for investment. The Company anticipates that multi-family loans will increase as a percentage of total loans, as the Company continues to focus on income property lending, as a market leader in its primarily multi-family lending niche.

At December 31, 2004, 57% of the Company’s loans held for investment are tied to an index that adjusts each month or mature within one month, up from 52% at September 30, 2004. In addition, 70% of the Company’s loans held for investment have interest rates scheduled to reset or mature within six months from December 31, 2004 and 71% reset or mature within one year from December 31, 2004, up from 66% and 68%, respectively, at September 30, 2004. The Company’s total loan portfolio had a weighted average duration to reset or maturity of approximately 12 months at December 31, 2004, a decrease from 13 months at September 30, 2004.

The Company’s securities portfolio totaled $491.3 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of 1% and a decrease of 12% from $486.2 million and $560.7 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Mortgage-backed securities were 10% of total assets at December 31, 2004, well below industry peers, and below the Company’s historic levels, which were 33% and 36% at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The Company continues to reinvest cash flows received from the securities portfolio into the Company’s higher yielding, adjustable rate loans, positioning the Company to benefit from anticipated higher market interest rates.

The Company’s deposits totaled $2.26 billion at December 31, 2004, a decrease of 2% and an increase of 250% from $2.30 billion and $645.6 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Transaction account deposits totaled $1.23 billion at December 31, 2004, an increase of 4% and 217% from $1.19 billion and $388.0 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Of the Company’s transaction account deposits at December 31, 2004, the majority was from Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, and Ventura counties, with business deposits accounting for $360.3 million or 29% of the total. The Company’s time deposits totaled $1.03 billion at December 31, 2004, compared to $1.11 billion and $257.6 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The decrease in the Company’s total deposits, primarily through a reduction in the balance of time deposits, reflects the asset/liability decision by the Company to replace higher costing, shorter duration time deposits with transaction account deposits. This strategic decision resulted in transaction accounts equaling approximately 55% of total deposits at December 31, 2004, up from 52% of total deposits at September 30, 2004.

Borrowings totaled $2.09 billion at December 31, 2004, an increase of 3% and 117% from $2.02 billion and $963.3 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. FHLB advances totaled $1.86 billion at December 31, 2004, an increase of 1% and 126% from $1.83 billion and $822.5 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. FHLB borrowings with maturities of greater than one year and less than six years totaled $293.0 million, at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2004, the Company’s junior subordinated debt issued to its unconsolidated trust subsidiaries totaled $135.1 million, compared to $135.2 million at September 30, 2004, and $52.5 million at December 31, 2003. The increase from December 31, 2003 reflects the additional issuances by the Company and the debt assumed through the acquisition of Hawthorne.

Stockholders’ equity totaled $625.2 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of 3% and 513% from $608.7 million and $102.0 million at September 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, respectively. Tangible stockholders’ equity totaled $261.9 million, an increase of 7% and 194% from $245.2 million and $89.0 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company’s equity to assets and tangible equity to assets were 12.44% and 5.21% at December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to 12.26% and 4.94% at September 30, 2004, respectively, and compared to 5.92% and 5.17% at December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company’s tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 5.62% at December 31, 2004, compared to 5.33% and 5.20% at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Book value per share totaled $11.47, an increase of 2% and 236% from $11.20 and $3.41 at September 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, respectively. Tangible book value per share totaled $4.80, an increase of 6% and 62% from $4.51 and $2.97 at September 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, respectively. The capital ratios of Commercial Capital Bank continued to exceed federal regulatory requirements for classification as a “well-capitalized” institution, the highest regulatory standard. The Bank’s core, tier one risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios are estimated to be 8.01%, 11.11% and 12.21% at December 31, 2004, respectively.

The Company’s total loan originations, which include loans that were funded through the Company’s strategic alliance with Greystone Servicing Corporation, a Fannie Mae DUS lender, and the Company’s other broker and conduit channels, totaled $540.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2004, a decrease of 7% and an increase of 78% from $583.2 million and $304.0 million for the third quarter of 2004 and fourth quarter of 2003, respectively. The Company’s core loan originations increased 76% to a record $1.69 billion during the year ended December 31, 2004, from $959.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company’s total loan originations increased 67% to a record $1.85 billion during the year ended December 31, 2004, from $1.11 billion for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The Company’s core loan originations for the fourth quarter of 2004 consisted of $315.6 million of multi-family residential real estate loans, $23.5 million of commercial real estate loans, $110.1 million of single family residential real estate loans, $44.2 million of construction and land loans, and $2.3 million of business and other loans. During the fourth quarter of 2004, purchase transactions represented 53% of the Company’s core multi-family originations, 55% of core single family residential originations and 64% of the core commercial real estate loan originations, while refinance transactions were 47%, 45% and 36%, respectively. The Company’s core multi-family originations during the fourth quarter of 2004 had at origination an average loan size of $1.8 million, loan-to-value (“LTV”) of 67.5% and debt coverage ratio (“DCR”) of 1.23 to 1. The Company’s core commercial real estate originations during the fourth quarter of 2004 had at origination an average loan size of $2.1 million, LTV of 62.2% and DCR of 1.32 to 1. The Company’s core single family loan originations during the fourth quarter of 2004 had at origination an average loan size of $1.0 million, and LTV of 63.5%. Of the Company’s $495.7 million of core loan originations during the fourth quarter of 2004, 98% were adjustable rate loans, of which 81% reprice within one year. The Company’s focus on adjustable rate lending continues to create a greater degree of asset sensitivity, as reflected in the previously stated portfolio weighted average duration to reset or maturity of 12 months at December 31, 2004.

The value of loans in the Company’s total loan pipeline increased 41% and 132% to a record $497 million at December 31, 2004, compared to $353 million and $214 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The value of loans in the Company’s core loan pipeline increased 50% and 193% to a record $483 million at December 31, 2004, compared to $322 million and $165 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company projects significant interest-earning asset growth during the first quarter of 2005 driven by strong volumes of adjustable rate, core loan originations.

PORTFOLIO ASSET QUALITY

The Company’s asset quality review, performed during the fourth quarter of 2004, was based on its asset classification process, which the Company applied to the acquired Hawthorne loan portfolio. The Company used this current information, along with other qualitative and quantitative factors, updated industry and peer comparison data to calculate the allowance for loan losses. This review indicated that a provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2004 was not required and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be required as a result of the factors described below.

Management establishes the allowance for loan losses commencing with the credit quality and historical performance of the Company’s multi-family, commercial real estate, single family residential, construction, and land loan portfolios, which accounts for virtually all of the loan portfolio. The Company’s overall asset quality remains sound, as supported by its internal risk rating process of a more seasoned multi-family, commercial real estate and single family residential loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses is derived by analyzing the historical loss experience and asset quality within each loan portfolio segment, along with assessing qualitative environmental factors, and correlating it with the delinquency and classification status for each portfolio segment. Management utilizes a loan grading system with five classification categories, including assets classified as Pass, based upon credit risk characteristics and categorizes each loan asset by risk grade allowing for a more consistent review of similar loan assets. Management has also evaluated the loss exposure of classified loans, which are reviewed individually based on the evaluation of the cash flow, collateral, other sources of repayment, guarantors and any other relevant factors to determine the inherent loss potential in the credit.

6/15



Management considers the following qualitative environmental factors in determining the allocated loss factors when analyzing the allowance for loan losses: the levels of and trends in past due, non-accrual and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; the trend in volume and terms of loans; the effects of changes in credit concentrations; the effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards, and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; the experience, ability and depth of management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; and industry conditions.

The overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed by the Bank’s Internal Asset Review Committee on a quarterly basis and submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. The Internal Asset Review Committee’s responsibilities consist of risk management, as well as problem loan management, which include ensuring proper risk grading of all loans and analysis of specific allocations for all classified loans.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had total assets of $5.02 billion, and total deposits of $2.26 billion. The Bank operates banking offices located in Westlake Village (Ventura County), Tarzana, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Baldwin Hills, Westchester, Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach, Gardena, Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Redondo Beach (Los Angeles County), Orange, Irvine (3), Rancho Santa Margarita (Orange County), Riverside (Riverside County), La Jolla, Del Mar and San Diego (San Diego County), and lending offices, located in Corte Madera, Burlingame, Oakland, Encino, Glendale, West Los Angeles, El Segundo, Irvine, Riverside, and San Diego, California, with plans to open banking offices in San Mateo, California in early 2005, and Newport Coast, California in mid-2005. The Company was the 3rd largest multi-family lender in California during the 12 months ended September 30, 2004 (source: Dataquick Information Systems) and the Bank was the fastest growing savings institution in California, based on percentage growth in total assets over the 36 months ended September 30, 2004 (source: www.fdic.gov).
