7 8 HAWTHORNE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) JUNE 30, 1997 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hawthorne Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawthorne Savings, F.S.B. ("Bank"), collectively referred to as the "Company". All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full year ending December 31, 1997. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. NOTE 2 - RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts in the 1996 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified, where practicable, to conform with classifications in 1997. 8 9 HAWTHORNE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) JUNE 30, 1997 (amounts are in thousands, except for book value and per share data) NOTE 3 - BOOK VALUE AND EARNINGS PER SHARE The table below sets forth the Company's book value and earnings per share calculations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, using the Modified Treasury Stock Method as prescribed under GAAP. All other calculations shown, using alternate methods, are for informational purposes only. In the table below, (1) Warrants refers to the warrants issued by the Company in December 1995, which have an exercise price of $2.25 per share and can be exercised beginning three years from the issue date and for a period of ten years from the issue date, and (2) Preferred Stock refers to the Cumulative Preferred Stock Series A issued by the Company in December 1995, which carries an annual dividend equal to 18% of the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock, permits dividends thereon to be paid, under certain circumstances, in equivalent value of the Company's common stock and had an initial dividend payment in June 1997.

- -------------------- (1) Under the Modified Treasury Stock Method, it is assumed that the Company will use proceeds from the proforma exercise of the Warrants and Options to acquire 20% of the actual shares currently outstanding (Treasury shares) and use any remaining assumed proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance of the Company's Senior Notes. The partial reduction in interest expense of $85,000 and $187,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, represents the proforma reduction in interest expense as a result of the proforma reduction in the outstanding balance of Senior Notes. (2) Treasury shares were assumed to be repurchased at the average closing stock price for the respective periods. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" which specified the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share ("EPS") for entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. The objective of SFAS No. 128 is to simplify the computation of EPS and to make the U.S. standard for computing EPS more compatible with the standards of other countries. SFAS No. 128 eliminated both the "primary" and "fully diluted" EPS and required the computation and disclosure of "basic" EPS and "diluted" EPS. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company's analysis of SFAS No. 128 concluded that it would have no impact on the EPS disclosures contained above. 9 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company earned $3.4 million, or $0.55 per share, compared with net earnings of $6.0 million or $1.07 per share for the same period in 1996. The second quarter of 1996 included a pretax gain of $6.4 million from the sale of the Company's San Diego deposit franchise. For the first six months of 1997, the Company earned $4.8 million, or $0.72 per share, as compared with net earnings of $8.5 million, or $1.49 per share for the same period in 1996. The 1996 results included a pretax gain of $6.4 million on the sale of the Company's San Diego deposit franchise. Per share results for both periods are calculated using the Modified Treasury Stock Method. The Bank maintained core and risk-based regulatory capital ratios of 7.21% and 11.67%, respectively, at June 30, 1997, which are in excess of the regulatory minimums which define a "well capitalized" institution. Total assets at June 30, 1997 were $863 million, as compared with $847 million at December 31, 1996. Pretax earnings from the Company's core operations continued to increase during the second quarter of 1997. Pretax core earnings are earnings after loan loss provisions and before interest on parent company indebtedness, income taxes, real estate operations and nonrecurring items. For the three-month period ended June 30, 1997, pretax core earnings were $2.5 million compared with a pretax core loss of $0.7 million during the second quarter of 1996. For the six-months ended June 30, 1997, pretax core earnings were $3.8 million, as compared to a pretax core loss of $0.7 million for the first six months of 1996. During the June 1997 quarter, the Company's net interest margin was 3.79% on average interest-earning assets of $837.0 million as compared with a net interest margin of 3.15% on average interest-earning assets of $781.0 million during the June 1996 quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, the Company's net interest margin and average interest-earning assets were 3.62% and $815.6 million, and 3.04% and $758.5 million, respectively. For each period, net interest margin excludes interest on parent company indebtedness. Recurring noninterest revenues, which consist of loan extension, modification, prepayment and exit fees and deposit-related service fees, increased during 1997 as compared to 1996, reaching $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, as compared with $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, recurring noninterest revenues were $1.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, real estate operations produced net revenues of $0.5 million, attributable to net recoveries from sales of foreclosed properties. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, real estate operations produced a net cost of $0.4 million and a break-even result, respectively. Real estate operations included provisions of $1.0 million and $1.7 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company increased its deferred tax asset to $5.9 million by recording additional income tax benefits of $0.9 million. By comparison, the Company recorded income tax benefits of $1.2 million for the same period in 1996. 10 11 OPERATING RESULTS INTEREST MARGIN The Company's net interest income, or the difference between the interest earned on loans and investment securities and the cost of deposits and borrowings, is affected by several factors, including (1) the level of, and the relationship between, the dollar amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, (2) the maturity of the Company's adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans and short-term investment securities and its deposits and borrowings, (3) the relationship between market interest rates and local deposit rates offered by competing institutions, and (4) the magnitude of the Company's nonperforming assets. The following tables set forth the Company's average balance sheet, and the related weighted average yields and costs on average interest-earning assets (inclusive of nonaccrual loans) and interest-bearing liabilities, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. In the table, interest revenues are net of interest associated with nonaccrual loans (dollars are in thousands).

- ---------------------- (1) Calculated by multiplying change in rate by change in volume. (2) Interest on loans is net of interest on nonaccrual loans and includes amortization of loan fees and discounts. For the first six months of 1997, the Company's net interest income increased by $3.2 million over the same period in 1996 and, expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets for the same six-month periods, the Company's net interest margin increased to 3.62% from 3.04%. The higher net interest income realized during the first half of 1997 reflects net loan growth, which accounted for virtually all of the Company's earning asset growth period-over-period, and an increase in the yield on the Company's total loan portfolio, which was attributable to the higher yields associated with the Company's new loan production since mid-1996. PROVISIONS FOR ESTIMATED CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS For the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded loan loss provisions of $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, compared with loan loss provisions of $2.5 million and $3.7 million recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively. The provisions recorded during the first half of 1997 were sufficient to leave largely unchanged the Company's general loan loss reserves at June 30, 1997 as compared to their level at June 30, 1996, after giving effect to (1) the substantial reduction in nonperforming and classified assets at June 30, 1997 as compared to June 30, 1996, and (2) transfers to specific reserves (and, in certain instances, charge-offs of such reserves) for new loan delinquencies and property acquisitions through foreclosure. 12 13 NONINTEREST REVENUES The table below sets forth information concerning the Company's non-interest revenues for the periods indicated (dollars are in thousands).

Loan-related fee revenues, which include prepayment, extension, modification, escrow and exit fees collected from customers, increased in 1997 as compared with 1996 primarily because of a higher level of loan repayments for which borrowers paid the Company a prepayment penalty. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company sold its entire San Diego deposit franchise and related branch offices, realizing a pretax gain thereon of $6.4 million. Also during the 1996 second quarter, the Company sold $68.9 million of loans, realizing a gain thereon of $0.2 million.

During the last half of 1996 and continuing into the first quarter of 1997, the Company added numerous experienced professionals to further complement its cadre of lending personnel in response to an increasing demand for the Company's loan products and services. Accordingly, employee-related costs for the first half of 1997 were nearly 20% higher than such costs for the comparable period in 1996. SAIF insurance premiums declined from approximately $0.29 to $0.24 subsequent to the September 1996 SAIF recapitalization legislated by the U.S. Congress, and the balance of the Company's insured deposits declined immediately following the sale of its San Diego deposit franchise, both of which contributed to a nearly 27% decline in SAIF premiums during the first half of 1997 as compared with the same period in 1996. 13 14 NONINTEREST EXPENSES - REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS The table below sets forth the revenues and costs attributable to the Company's real estate owned for the periods indicated.

The costs included in the table above (and, therefore, excluded from operating costs (see NONINTEREST EXPENSES -- OPERATING COSTS), reflect holding costs directly attributable to the portfolio of real estate owned. Net recoveries from property sales represent the difference between the proceeds received from property disposal and the carrying value of such properties upon disposal. During the six months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, the Company sold 81 properties generating net cash proceeds of $15.9 million and sold 103 properties generating net cash proceeds of $17.6 million, respectively. Property operations principally include the net operating income (collected rental revenues less operating expenses and certain renovation costs) from foreclosed apartment buildings or receipt, following foreclosure, of similar funds held by receivers during the period the original loan was in default. The decline in income from this source during 1997 was a result of a decline in the number of apartment buildings held by the Company. INCOME TAXES The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.9 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $1.6 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $10.3 million of accumulated income tax benefits, consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards and future tax deductions which had not been recognized for financial statement purposes and are available to be utilized to shield future earnings from income taxes, both for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. The recognition of these accumulated income tax benefits is subject to limitations under GAAP and for regulatory capital purposes. The primary factor affecting the timing and magnitude of recognition of these accumulated income tax benefits is the current and future profitability of the Company. Additionally, no more than 10% of the Bank's regulatory capital can be represented by a deferred tax asset created pursuant to anticipated future utilization of an institution's income tax benefits. Should the Company cease to be profitable, or should the Company record substantial operating losses in the future, all or a portion of the deferred tax asset established to date may need to be reversed. Management believes that the Company's income tax accounting practices fully comport with GAAP and have been and are appropriate in the circumstances. 14 15 FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES & LIQUIDITY AND ASSET QUALITY ASSETS CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits at correspondent banks and Federal funds sold. The Company maintains balances at correspondent banks to cover daily inclearings, wire activities and other charges. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997, were $17.0 million, a decrease from $94.0 million at December 31, 1996. This decrease in cash balances from year end resulted from the deployment of excess cash on hand at December 31, 1996 into securities and loans. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Investment securities totaled $75.5 million at June 30, 1997, an increase of $37.1 million over the year end 1996 balance of $38.4 million. This increase was due to the first quarter 1997 purchase of $40.0 million in U.S. Government Agency callable bonds. Partially offsetting this increase in investment securities was the June liquidation of $2.4 million in U.S. Treasury notes, which represented the remaining prefunded interest on the Senior Notes. This liquidation was possible because in June 1997 the holders of the Company's Senior Notes agreed to release the Company from its requirement to maintain the balance of prefunded interest on the Senior Notes. The proceeds of this sale were contributed to the Bank's Tier 1 capital.

The Company's loan portfolio is almost exclusively concentrated in Southern California real estate. At June 30, 1997, 43.6% of the Company's loan portfolio consisted of permanent loans secured by single family residences, 28.0% consisted of permanent loans secured by multi-family residential properties, and 27.1% consisted of loans to finance commercial properties, the acquisition of land and construction. The table below sets forth the approximate composition of the Company's new loan commitments for the periods indicated (dollars are in thousands).

(2) Includes $0.4 million and $2.3 million of financings provided in connection with sales of previously foreclosed properties for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively. (3) For the three months ended June 30, 1997, includes unfunded commitments under lines of credit of $12.9 million. 17 18 ASSET QUALITY NONACCRUAL, PAST DUE AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS The Company places loans on nonaccrual status when (1) they become one or more payments delinquent or (2) management believes that, with respect to performing loans, continued collection of principal and interest from the borrower is not reasonably assured. The following table provides information regarding the Company's nonaccrual loans as of the dates indicated.
JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, 1997 1996 1996 ------- -------- -------- Loans past due 90 days or more $11,874 $16,643 $12,888 Loans past due 30-89 days 4,721 10,082 6,560 Other nonaccrual loans 183 1,898 3,128 ------- ------- ------- Total nonaccrual loans (1) $16,778 $28,623 $22,576 ======= ======= ======= Reserves to loans past due 90 days or more 104.3% 81.2% 122.3% Reserves to total nonaccrual loans 73.8% 47.2% 69.8%
- ------------------- (1) Includes $1.1 million, $5.6 million and $5.0 million of troubled debt restructured loans ("TDRs") at June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996 respectively. Excludes $27.3 million, $33.5 million and $28.1 million of TDRs which were performing in accordance with their modified terms. Total nonaccrual loans were $16.8 million at June 30, 1997 compared with $28.6 million at December 31, 1996 and $22.6 million at June 30, 1996. Included in total loans past due 90 days or more at June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996, are $6.6 million, $10.9 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of loans originated prior to 1995. This reduction in pre-1995 nonperforming loans is consistent with the Company's current and improving asset migration measures. The thrift industry is exposed to economic trends and fluctuations in real estate values. In recent periods, those trends have been recessionary in nature, particularly in Southern California. Accordingly, the trends have adversely affected both the delinquencies being experienced by institutions such as the Company and the ability of such institutions to recoup principal and accrued interest through acquisition and sale of the underlying collateral. No assurances can be given that such trends will not continue in future periods, creating increasing downward pressure on the earnings and capital of thrift institutions. 18 19 CLASSIFIED ASSETS The table below sets forth the composition of the Company's classified assets at the dates indicated. Classified assets include owned properties, nonaccrual loans and performing loans which have been adversely classified pursuant to OTS regulations and guidelines ("Performing/Classified" loans) (dollars are in thousands).

At June 30, 1997, the Company's nonaccrual loans of $16.8 million consisted of $6.8 of loan principal originated since 1994, or 1.3% of the $503.8 million of such loan principal outstanding at quarter-end. The remaining $10.0 million of nonaccrual loans at quarter-end were represented by loans originated prior to 1995 (with most emanating from 1991 and prior), and represented 3.3% of the $306.7 million of such loan principal outstanding at June 30, 1997. All of the Company's foreclosed properties had their genesis with loans made prior to 1995. The discussion below summarizes the classified assets composition within each of the Company's principal loan portfolios. ESTATE At June 30, 1997, 5.2% (measured in dollars) of the Company's Estate loan portfolio was classified. Within this group of classified loan principal, 3 loans ($5.0 million) were delinquent three or more payments, 1 loan ($1.0 million) was one payment delinquent and 1 loan ($0.9 million) was performing in accordance with its original terms and was classified Substandard. Subsequent to June 30, 1997, for loans three or more payments delinquent, the collateral for one loan ($2.3 million) was acquired via foreclosure and the delinquency associated with one loan ($0.9 million) was cured via cash payments by the borrower with no modification of terms. Also subsequent to June 30, 1997, the delinquency associated with the loan one payment delinquent at that date was cured via cash payment by the borrower with no modification of terms. CONVENTIONAL Conventional single family homes consist of delinquent and performing/classified loans secured by single family homes which are not part of an integrated development nor included with Estate loans. At June 30, 1997, 6.3% (measured in dollars) of the Company's conventional single family loan portfolio was classified. Within this group of classified loan principal, 17 loans ($3.4 million) were delinquent three or more payments, 12 loans ($1.5 million) were delinquent one or two payments, and 25 loans ($5.6 million) were performing, generally in accordance with their original terms and were classified Substandard. In addition, the Company owned 7 homes previously acquired through foreclosure with a net carrying value of $0.9 million. PROJECT CONCENTRATIONS Prior to 1994, the Company made permanent loans to a large number of purchasers of individual units from developers in for-sale housing developments with respect to which the Company financed construction. A majority of these permanent "takeout" loans were originated during the period 1988 through 1992 and were made on terms that fell outside the parameters normally associated with conforming or conventional single family home loans. Historically, the performance of this portfolio has been extremely poor. At June 30, 1997, 32.2% (measured in dollars) of the Company's project concentration loan portfolio was classified. Within this group of classified loan principal, 18 loans ($2.3 million) were delinquent three or more payments, 12 loans ($1.7 million) were delinquent one or two payments, and 94 loans ($13.4 million) were performing, generally in accordance with their original terms and were classified Substandard. In addition, the Company owned 127 units previously acquired through foreclosure with a net carrying value of $5.9 million (or approximately $46,000 per unit). APARTMENT BUILDINGS At June 30, 1997, 6.5% (measured in dollars) of the Company's apartment-secured loan portfolio was classified. Within this group of loan principal, 2 loans ($1.1 million) were delinquent three or more payments, 1 loan ($0.5 million) was delinquent one payment, and 18 loans ($13.2 million) were performing generally in accordance with their original terms and were classified Substandard. In addition, the Company owned 6 buildings previously acquired through foreclosure with a net carrying value of $1.9 million. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE At June 30, 1997, none of the Company's commercial real estate-secured loan portfolio was delinquent and 1 loan ($2.6 million) was performing in accordance with its original terms and was classified Substandard. 20 21 CREDIT LOSSES The Company maintains reserves against specific assets in those instances in which it believes that full recovery of the Company's gross investment is unlikely. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had established specific reserves based upon current indications of property values and the costs associated with their respective disposition. In addition, management establishes general valuation allowances ("GVAs") against its loan and property portfolios when sufficient information does not exist to support establishing specific reserves. The loss factors utilized to establish general reserves are based upon (1) estimated migration levels for similar loans and risk levels against the estimated loss content of the collateral securing the loan, or (2) estimates of current liquidation values for collateral securing performing loans for a representative sampling of each portfolio segment. The table below sets forth the amounts and percentages of general and specific reserves for the Company's loan and property portfolios as of June 30, 1997 (dollars are in thousands).

Because the Company's loan portfolio is not homogeneous, but rather consists of discreet segments with different collateral and borrower risk characteristics, management separately measures reserve adequacy, and establishes and maintains reserves for credit losses, for each identifiable segment of this portfolio. Based on the reduced level of nonperforming assets at June 30, 1997, particularly in the Company's pre 1995 loan portfolio on which the Company has realized all of its most significant credit losses, the Company would expect charge-offs for all categories of loans to be moderate in future periods. However, no assurances can be made that this will occur. The table below summarizes credit loss reserves at the dates indicated (dollars are in thousands).

22 23 REAL ESTATE OWNED Real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans is transferred from loans to properties at estimated fair values, less any estimated disposal costs. The difference between the fair value of the real estate collateral and the loan balance at the time of transfer is recorded as a loan charge-off. Any subsequent declines in the fair value of the properties after the date of transfer are recorded through the establishment of, or additions to, specific reserves. Recoveries and losses from the disposition of properties are also included in REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS. The table below summarizes the composition of the Company's real estate owned at the dates indicated (dollars are in thousands).

OFFICE PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT At June 30, 1997, the Company's office property and equipment of $4.3 million was down from $4.7 million at December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily due to normal depreciation. 23 24 LIABILITIES GENERAL The Company derives funds principally from deposits and, to a lesser extent, from borrowings from the FHLB. In addition, recurring cash flows are generated from loan repayments and payoffs and, since late 1993, from sales of foreclosed properties. In addition to the Company's recurring sources of funds, the Company has generated funds by identifying certain of its securities and seasoned real estate loans as available-for-sale, and selling such assets in the open market. DEPOSITS Total deposits at June 30, 1997, were $754.4 million, an increase from $717.8 million at December 31, 1996. The table below summarizes the balances, weighted average interest rates ("WAIR") and weighted average remaining maturities in months ("WARM") for the Company's deposits at the dates indicated (dollars are in thousands).

BORROWINGS A primary alternative funding source for the Company is a credit line through the FHLB with a maximum advance of up to 35% of total assets (of which 25% may be secured by mortgage collateral and 10% may be secured by securities). The FHLB system functions as a source of credit to savings institutions which are members of a Federal Home Loan Bank System. Advances are typically secured by the Company's mortgage loans and the capital stock of the FHLB owned by the Company. Subject to the FHLB of San Francisco's advance policies and requirements, these advances can be requested for any business purpose in which the Company is authorized to engage. In granting advances, the FHLB considers a member's creditworthiness and other relevant factors. At June 30, 1997, the Company had one FHLB advance outstanding totaling $40.0 million with an original and remaining term of one year. This advance is securitized by mortgage collateral and has a rate of 5.95%. SENIOR NOTES The Company has Senior Notes, which have a face amount of $13.5 million, and an amortized book value of $12.5 million at June 30, 1997. The Senior Notes carry an annual stated interest rate of 12.0% and have an annual effective rate of approximately 16.5%, after the recording of original issue discount ("OID") of $1.5 million. The OID is accreted using the constant yield method over the five year term of the Senior Notes. Interest which is required to be paid semi-annually at the stated interest rate was prefunded for three years out of the proceeds of the Company's recapitalization in December 1995. In June 1997, the investors agreed to release the Company from its requirement to maintain this prefunded interest. In the future, interest payments will be made through dividends received from the Bank. 24 25 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY The Company's capital structure is comprised of common stockholders' equity and an aggregate of $27 million in high-cost Senior Notes bearing an annual interest rate of 12% and Cumulative Preferred Stock Series A ("Series A Preferred") with an annual dividend rate of 18%. In full satisfaction of the accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock from issuance through June 15, 1997, the Company issued approximately 390,000 shares of its Common Stock. 25 26 The following table summarizes the regulatory capital requirements under the Home Owners Loan Act ("HOLA") for the Bank at June 30, 1997. As indicated in the table, the Bank's capital levels exceed all three of the currently applicable minimum HOLA capital requirements (dollars are in thousands).

Section 567.1(a) for purposes of tangible and core capital requirements, and for purposes of risk-based capital requirements, refers to the term "risk-weighted assets" as defined in 12 C.F.R.

As of June 30, 1997, the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios and the capital amounts and ratios required in order for an institution to be well capitalized and adequately capitalized are presented in the table below (dollars are in thousands).

The OTS has authority, after an opportunity for a hearing, to downgrade an institution from "well-capitalized" to "adequately capitalized" or to subject an "adequately capitalized" or "undercapitalized" institution to the supervisory actions applicable to the next lower category, if the OTS deems such action to be appropriate as a result of supervisory concerns. 26 27 CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The Company's liquidity position refers to the extent to which the Company's funding sources are sufficient to meet its current and long-term cash requirements. Federal regulations currently require a savings institution to maintain a monthly average daily balance of liquid and short-term liquid assets equal to at least 5.0% and 1.0%, respectively, of the average daily balance of its net withdrawable accounts and short-term borrowings during the preceding calendar month. The Bank had liquidity and short-term liquidity ratios of 7.85% and 3.36%, respectively, as of June 30, 1997, and 11.05% and 6.49%, respectively, as of December 31, 1996. The Company's current primary funding resources are deposit accounts, principal payments on loans, proceeds from sales of real estate owned, advances from the FHLB and cash flows from operations. Other possible sources of liquidity available to the Company include reverse repurchase transactions involving the Company's investment securities, whole loan sales, commercial bank lines of credit, and direct access, under certain conditions, to borrowings from the Federal Reserve System. The cash needs of the Company are principally for the payment of interest on and withdrawals of deposit accounts, the funding of loans, operating costs and expenses, and holding and refurbishment costs on foreclosed real estate. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT The objective of interest rate risk management is to stabilize the Company's net interest income ("NII") while limiting the change in its net portfolio value ("NPV") from interest rate fluctuations. The Company seeks to achieve this objective by matching its interest sensitive assets and liabilities, and maintaining the maturity and repricing of these assets and liabilities at appropriate levels given the interest rate environment. When the amount of rate sensitive liabilities exceeds rate sensitive assets, net interest income will generally be negatively impacted during a rising rate environment. The speed and velocity of the repricing of assets and liabilities will also contribute to the effects on net interest income. The Company utilizes two methods for measuring interest rate risk. Gap analysis is the first method, with a focus on measuring absolute dollar amounts subject to repricing within certain periods of time, particularly the one-year maturity horizon. In addition to utilizing gap analysis in measuring interest rate risk, the Company performs periodic interest rate simulations. These simulations provide the Company with an estimate of both the dollar amount and percentage change in NII under various interest rate scenarios. All assets and liabilities are subjected to tests of up to 400 basis points in increases and decreases in interest rates. Under each interest rate scenario, the Company projects its net interest income and the NPV of its current balance sheet. From these results, the Company can then develop alternatives to dealing with the tolerance thresholds. A principal mechanism used by the Company in the past for interest rate risk management was the origination of adjustable rate mortgages tied to the 11th District Cost of Funds Index ("11th DCOFI"). The basic premise was that the Company's actual cost of funds would parallel the 11th DCOFI and, as such, the interest rate spread would generate the desired operating results. Almost all of the Company's loan originations are comprised of adjustable rate mortgage loans. Adjustable rate mortgages represented approximately 75% of the Company's loan portfolio at June 30, 1997. The Company currently originates loans tied to multiple indices including London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), Constant Maturity Treasury ("CMT"), national prime rate, and 11th DCOFI. ARMs tied to 11th DCOFI are slower in responding to current interest rate environments than other types of variable rate loans because the index is a compilation of the average rates paid by member institutions of the 11th District of the FHLB. This index typically lags market rate changes in both directions. If interest rates on deposit accounts increase due to market conditions and competition, it may be anticipated that the Company will, absent offsetting factors, experience a decline in its net interest margin. A contributing factor would be the lag in upward pricing of the ARMs tied to the 11th DCOFI. However, the lag inherent in the 11th DCOFI will also cause the ARMs to remain at a higher rate for a longer period after interest rates on deposits begin to decline. The 11th DCOFI lag 27 28 during a falling interest rate environment should benefit, in the short-term, the Company's net interest margin, but the actual dynamics of prepayments and the fact that ARMs reprice at various intervals may alter this expected benefit. The following table sets forth information concerning sensitivity of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of June 30, 1997 (dollars are in thousands).

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Not applicable. 28 29 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings On September 6, 1996, the Company and the Bank were named as defendants in a class action lawsuit entitled Stanley D. Mosler and Eileen C. Mosler vs. Hawthorne Savings and Loan Association, Hawthorne Financial Corporation, et. al., filed in the Superior Court of the State of California as Case No. BC154729 (the "Action"). The plaintiffs had previously filed an individual action alleging the same matters contained in the class action complaint. The individual action was scheduled for trial in July 1997, but was taken off calendar pending a ruling in the class action. Plaintiffs contend they were entitled to a notice of availability of foreclosure counseling, which they allege they did not receive, before the Bank foreclosed. Plaintiffs contend that the alleged failure to provide counseling notices and the underbidding by the Bank of the loan amount at foreclosure resulted in damages to the purported class in an amount in excess of $40 million. The Company has been named and alleged to have liability based upon its relationship as trustee on the Deed of Trust securing the Bank's loans. The Company and the Bank filed responsive pleadings to the Action alleging that the complaint is defective on its face and that the plaintiffs are not proper representatives of the purported class. The court granted the Company and Bank's motion and dismissed the plaintiffs' case. The plaintiffs have appealed. The Appellate Court heard oral argument in July, 1997 and will render their opinion in the near future. As previously reported, the Bank is a defendant in an action entitled Takaki vs. Hawthorne Savings and Loan Association, filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles, as Case No. YC021815. The plaintiffs were owners of real property which they sold in early 1992 to a third party. The Bank provided escrow services in connection with the transaction. A substantial portion of the consideration paid to the plaintiffs took the form of a deed of trust secured by another property then owned by an affiliate of the purchaser. The value of the collateral securing this deed of trust ultimately proved to be inadequate. The plaintiffs alleged that the Bank knew, or should have known, that the security for the plaintiffs' loan was inadequate and should have so advised them. In late June 1997, a trial jury found for the plaintiffs and awarded compensatory and punitive damages totaling $9.1 million. In late July 1997, the trial judge reduced the combined award to $3.2 million. If the plaintiffs do not accept the judge's decision on or before August 25, 1997, a new jury trial will be conducted solely on the issue of damages. Should the plaintiffs accept the judge's decision, the Bank will appeal the jury's finding and the damage award to the Court of Appeals, based upon its view that the law in California is unambiguous that there is no duty which attaches to escrow providers to advise parties to an escrow. In such event, the Bank believes that its position will ultimately be upheld on appeal and, accordingly, that no amounts will be paid by the Bank to the plaintiffs in this matter. There can be no assurances that this will be the case, however. The Company is involved in a variety of other litigation matters which, for the most part, arise out of matters and events which were alleged to have occurred prior to 1994. Many of these lawsuits either allege construction defects or allege improper servicing of the loan. In the opinion of management, none of these cases will have a material adverse effect on the Bank's or the Company's financial condition or operations. ITEM 2. Changes in Securities - None ITEM 3.
