We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

-3- FIRST PROFESSIONAL BANK 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998 NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN The following brief description of the 401(k) Savings Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the 401(k) Savings Plan Agreement for more complete information. PLAN ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION The Plan is a defined contribution plan which provides retirement benefits for eligible employees of First Professional Bank, N.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). The Plan is administered by the First Professional Bank Benefits Committee (the Plan Administrator), which is presently comprised of four officers of First Professional Bank, N.A. The Plan has been amended periodically to conform with various requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan removed Bank Boston, N.A. (First National Bank of Boston) as the Trustee and John Hancock Signature Services as custodian and appointed Delaware Charter Guarantee & Trust Company as the new Trustee of the Plan. In December 1997, the Company chose an investment manager and the assets of the Plan were transferred to the Principal Life Insurance Company, Principal Financial Group on January 30, 1998. PARTICIPANT ELIGIBILITY All employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan after completion of one year of employment consisting of at least 1,000 hours. Employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of each quarter following the completion of one year of employment. However, the employee may make a rollover contribution before completing the one-year eligibility requirement. CONTRIBUTIONS Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an amendment to the Plan to allow participants to contribute, under a salary reduction agreement, up to 15% of their eligible compensation, as defined, but not to exceed the dollar amount allowed by law, $10,000 for 1999. The Company at its discretion matches contributions up to a maximum amount of 100% of the first 3% of eligible compensation, as defined. - 4 - FIRST PROFESSIONAL BANK 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998 NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) INVESTMENT OPTIONS Participants salary deferral contributions and Company matching contributions may be invested at the participant's direction in the Professional Bancorp, Inc. common stock and the following Principal Life Insurance Company, Principal Financial Group annuity investment accounts: Guaranteed Interest Account, Money Market Account, Bond & Mortgage Account, Stock Emphasis Balanced Account, Large Cap Stock Index Account (formerly known as Stock Index 500 Account), Medium Company Blend Account, and the International Stock Account. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of the Company's matching contribution and the Plan's earnings or losses. Earnings of the various funds are allocated to the participant balances according to the ratio that a participant's weighted average account balance or shares held in a given fund bears to the total of all account balances or shares held in the fund. Forfeitures reduce the amount of matching employer contributions. Forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $876 and $6,088 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. VESTING The participant shall always have a non-forfeitable right to the portion of his account attributable to Salary Reduction Contributions, After-Tax Employee Contributions, and Rollover Contributions. The Company's matching contributions vest 100% for all participants with five or more years of service provided that they are credited with an hour of service in any Plan year beginning after December 31, 1988. - 5 - FIRST PROFESSIONAL BANK 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998 NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) VESTING (CONTINUED) The following is the participant's vesting schedule for matching employer contributions: Years of Service Percentage Vested Less than 1 0 1 20 2 40 3 60 4 80 5 or more 100 Notwithstanding the above, if a participant (1) attains the age of 65, (2) dies or (3) terminates employment by reason of permanent disability, the employer match amounts become 100% vested without regard to years of service. BENEFITS PAYMENTS Upon severance of employment by the Company due to permanent disability (as defined by the Plan), retirement (as defined by the Plan) or death, the participant's share of the Company's contributions become fully vested. For distributions other than for financial hardship, the method of payment is based on the participant's election and may be made by one or more of the following options: (a) a single lump sum payment in cash, (b) a series of installments (as defined by the Plan) or (c) a direct transfer to either an Individual Retirement Account or a qualified retirement plan. Participants who are 100% vested and 59 1/2 years of age may take an in-service withdrawal of all or a portion of the value of their vested accounts once each plan year. The distribution is taxable to the participant, but is not subject to the 10% penalty tax. - 6 - FIRST PROFESSIONAL BANK 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998 NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) ADMINISTRATIVE FEES All Plan administrative expenses are paid by the Company. PARTICIPANT LOANS Loans to participants may be made, at the discretion of the Plan's Administrator, in an amount not less than $1,000 and not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of all other loans made to participant during the prior 12 months or one-half of the participant's vested account. Such loans are collateralized by the present value of the participant's vested balance in the Plan and carry interest at a rate established by the Plan Administrator. The terms of these loans shall not exceed five years or extend beyond the participant's normal retirement date. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. INVESTMENTS Investments in group annuity contracts are priced at contract value which approximates fair market value. The fair value of Professional Bancorp, Inc. common stock is based on quoted market prices. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair market value. REALIZED AND UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) Realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is based on the contract and market values of the assets at the end of the Plan year compared to the contract and market values of the assets at the beginning of the Plan year, or at the time of purchase for assets purchased/exchanged during the Plan year. - 7 - FIRST PROFESSIONAL BANK 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998 NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ESTIMATES The Plan's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, the Plan Administrator is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits as of the dates of the financial statements for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the fair value estimation of investment securities held by the Plan. RECLASSIFICATIONS AND ELIMINATION The requirement to disclose in the financial statements each participant-directed investment option in columnar form has been eliminated by the Statement of Position 99-3, Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan Investment and Other Disclosure Matters. Certain presentation in the 1998 financial statements were amended to conform with the new Statement of Position. NOTE 3. TAX-EXEMPT STATUS The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on April 28, 1993, in which the Internal Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. However, the Company believes that although the Plan has been amended since the issuance of the determination letter, the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore exempt from Federal income taxes. NOTE 4. DEPOSIT WITH INSURANCE COMPANY The Plan maintained deposit contracts with Principal Life Insurance Company. The contracts maintained the contributions in pooled separate accounts. The accounts were credited with actual earnings on the underlying investments (principally mutual funds) and charged for plan withdrawals and administrative expenses. The contracts are included in the financial statements at contract value, which approximates fair value. - 8 - FIRST PROFESSIONAL BANK 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998 NOTE 5. PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of the Plan's termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. NOTE 6. PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS Parties in interest by definition include a plan sponsor or employer, fiduciaries (including those who provide investment advice or who have discretionary control over plan assets), and those who provide services to the Plan. The Plan Sponsor pays to parties in interest, at its expense, various plan administrative, trustee, legal and accounting fees. None of these transactions are prohibited transactions. - 9 - SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES - 10 - FIRST PROFESSIONAL BANK 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN EIN: 95-3701137 PLAN NUMBER 002 SCHEDULE OF ASSETS HELD FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AT END OF YEAR DECEMBER 31, 1999
