See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 5 NATIONAL MERCANTILE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATIONS The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of National Mercantile Bancorp (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mercantile National Bank (the "Bank"). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the interim adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature and which, in management's opinion, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for such interim periods. The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent period or for the full year ending December 31, 1998. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 ("1997 Form 10-K"). NOTE 2--EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Earnings (loss) per basic common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in computing earnings per basic common share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 was 677,048 and 677,074, respectively. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in computing loss per common share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 was 677,260. The weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding used in computing earnings per diluted common share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 was 2,577,224 and 2,566,555, respectively. Loss per share computations, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, exclude potential common shares, since the effect would be to reduce the loss per share amount. All periods presented were restated to reflect the 9.09 to 1 reverse stock split effective June 20, 1997 and the 100% common stock dividend declared January 8, 1998 and paid February 13, 1998. The 100% stock dividend was accounted for as a 2 for 1 stock split. 6 The following table is a reconciliation of income (loss) and shares used in the computation of earnings per basic and diluted common share:

NOTE 3--INVESTMENT SECURITIES Securities held for investment are classified as securities held-to-maturity. Because the Company has the ability and management has the intent to hold investment securities until maturity, securities held-to-maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Investments classified as securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses for securities available-for-sale are excluded from earnings, and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity, until realized. See "Note 5 - Comprehensive Income". NOTE 4--CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. NOTE 5--COMPREHENSIVE INCOME In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. All items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income 7 are to be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. The accumulated balance of other comprehensive income is not required to be displayed separately from retained earnings and additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The components of other comprehensive income together with total comprehensive income are reported in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity. The accumulated balance of other comprehensive income is not reported as a net amount after taxes due to the size and availability of the Company's net operating loss carry forwards. See "Note 6 - Income Taxes". NOTE 6--INCOME TAXES No income tax provision, other than alternative minimum tax, was recorded during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, due to the utilization of previously unrecognized tax benefits to offset the current period tax liability. No income tax benefit was recorded during the corresponding periods of 1997, due to the uncertainty with respect to the ultimate realization of such benefit. For tax purposes at December 31, 1997, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $22.3 million, which begin to expire in the year 2007. The Company has California net operating loss carryforwards of $11.1 million, of which $686,000 expire in 1998, $5.5 million expire in 1999 and the remaining expire thereafter. In addition, the Company has an Alternate Minimum Tax credit at December 31, 1997 of $218,000, which may be carried forward indefinitely. NOTE 7--RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year data have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS National Mercantile Bancorp (the "Company") is the holding company for Mercantile National Bank (the "Bank"). Because the Bank constitutes substantially all of the business of the Company, references to the Company in this Item 2 reflect the consolidated activities of the Company and the Bank. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company recorded consolidated net income of $144,000, or $0.06 per diluted common share, during the second quarter of 1998, compared to a net loss of $77,000, or $0.11 loss per common share, during the second quarter of 1997. Earnings per basic common share were $0.21 during the second quarter of 1998. The improvement between the second quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1997 resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income of $232,000 or 17.3%, and an increase in other operating income of $105,000 or 95.5%, partially offset by a $114,000 or 7.5% increase in other operating expense. Net income for the first six months of 1998 was $339,000 or $0.13 per diluted common share, compared with a loss of $212,000 or $0.31 loss per common share. Earnings per basic common share were $0.50 during the first six months of 1998. The improvement between the first half of 1998 compared to the first half of 1997 resulted largely from a $483,000 or 18.3% increase in net interest income and a $218,000 or 95.6% increase in other operating income, partially offset by a $148,000 or 4.8% increase in other operating expense. Return on average assets during the second quarter and first half of 1998 was 0.45% and 0.55%, respectively, compared with a loss of 0.31% and 0.42% during the second quarter and first half of 1997, respectively. Return on average equity during the second quarter and first half of 1998 was 4.55% and 5.41%, respectively, compared to a loss of 6.46% and 8.86% during the second quarter and first half of 1997, respectively. The increase in net interest income during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 compared to the corresponding periods during 1997, resulted primarily from an increase in the net average interest earning assets (the difference between average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities) of $15.0 million and $11.3 million, respectively. Average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities increased as a result of the Company's plan to grow following its recapitalization in 1997, which raised net proceeds of $7.35 million. Growth in average interest earning assets occurred primarily through the purchase of securities. The Company was able to fund a significant part of this growth with liquidity provided by the recapitalization and increased deposits and borrowings. 9 During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 the Company experienced a compressed net interest margin compared to the same periods during 1997 primarily as a result of a higher proportion of average interest earning assets held as lower yielding securities and federal funds. In addition, during the second quarter of 1998, the Company experienced a decrease in the weighted average yield on loans receivable which was caused primarily by a downward repricing trend caused by refinancings, payoffs and reduced overall interest rates on new fundings, reflecting a decrease in overall market interest rates. The weighted average yield on securities decreased during the second quarter of 1998 compared to 1997 from 6.55% to 6.41%, and increased from 6.48% to 6.51% during the first half of 1998 compared to the first half of 1997. The decrease between the second quarters was reflective of the overall interest rate market, which triggered the issuers of securities with an optional principal redemption feature to exercise such "call" option on certain investment securities. The Company reinvested the proceeds into lower market yielding securities. The weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased during the second quarter of 1998 compared to 1997 from 4.32% to 4.41%, due primarily to a higher average amount of other borrowings, partially offset by a higher average amount of low cost money market and savings accounts during the second quarter 1998 compared to the second quarter 1997. In addition, the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased during the first half of 1998 compared to 1997 from 4.39% to 4.42%, due primarily to a higher average amount of other borrowings, partially offset by a higher average amount of low cost money market and savings accounts during the first half of 1998 compared to the first half of 1997 combined with a lower average amount of higher cost time certificates of deposit Average loans receivable decreased $368,000 or 0.6% to $58.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to $59.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 1997. This decrease reflected higher than normal loan payoffs during the second quarter of 1998 of approximately $6.9 million which when combined with principal reductions completely offset loan fundings of approximately $8.8 million during the same period. Total average securities available-for-sale increased by $42.3 million to $45.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to $3.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 1997, while securities held-to-maturity decreased $19.4 million during the same period. This increase in the overall securities portfolio, primarily mortgage-backed securities, was funded by the liquidity provided by the net proceeds from the recapitalization along with the growth of deposits and borrowings. Total average deposits increased $14.2 million (including $8.5 million of non-interest bearing deposits) or 15.4% to $106.5 million during the second quarter of 1998 compared to $92.3 million during the second quarter of 1997 due primarily to 10 additional deposits generated by the Bank's business banking, entertainment and escrow divisions. Total average securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowed funds increased $6.6 million to $7.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from $546,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Average loans receivable were $927,000 or 1.5% lower in the first half of 1998 as compared to the first half of 1997 ($59.5 million compared to $60.4 million). During the same periods, average securities available-for-sale were $34.2 million or 743% greater ($38.8 million compared to $4.6 million). Total average deposits during the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $8.6 million or 9.1% greater than the comparable 1997 period ($103.1 million compared to $94.5 million). The provision for credit losses was zero for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. Loan charge offs during the second quarter and first half of 1998 were $137,000 and $225,000, respectively, compared to $201,000 and $650,000 during the second quarter and first half of 1997, respectively. Recoveries were $273,000 and $291,000 during the second quarter and first half of 1998, respectively, compared to $101,000 and $227,000 during the second quarter and first half of 1997, respectively. Other operating income, excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and assets, totaled $185,000 during the second quarter of 1998, up $75,000 or 68.2% from $110,000 during the second quarter of 1997. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, other operating income, excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities and assets, totaled $340,000, an increase of $112,000 or 49.1% from $228,000 during the comparable period of 1997. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $74,000 or 97.4% and $106,000 or 63.9%, during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to corresponding periods in 1997, due primarily to adjustments in fee pricing effective December 1, 1997 and increased volume due to deposit growth. The net gain on sale of securities totaled $21,000 and $38,000 during the second quarter and first half of 1998, respectively, compared to zero during corresponding periods in 1997. Additionally, the Bank recorded a net gain on the sale of other real estate owned and fixed assets of $9,000 and $68,000 during the second quarter of 1998 and first six months of 1998, respectively, compared to zero during corresponding periods of 1997. Other operating expense increased $114,000 during the second quarter of 1998 compared to 1997, totaling $1.6 million during the1998 period. Salaries and related benefits increased $44,000 or 6.0 % during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1997, due primarily to the personnel added to the business banking and entertainment divisions. Other operating expense categories, other than salaries and related benefits, increased $70,000 or 8.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from the comparable period in 1997. Increases in customer services expense of $93,000 resulting 11 from increased escrow deposits, along with increases in furniture and equipment expense of $27,000, were offset by reductions in insurance and regulatory assessments of $62,000, primarily reduced FDIC Insurance premiums. Other operating expenses increased $148,000 or 4.8% to $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $3.1 million during the same period of 1997. This increase resulted from the same factors which caused the increases between the second quarters of 1998 compared to 1997, specifically, increases of $82,000 in salaries and related benefits and $157,000 in customer services, which were offset by reductions of $114,000 in insurance and regulatory costs. 12 The following table presents the components of net interest income for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. 13 Average Balance Sheet and Analysis of Net Interest Income

Total loans outstanding decreased by $962,000 to $60.6 million at June 30, 1998 compared to $61.5 million at December 31, 1997. As indicated in the table above, the composition of the loan portfolio has remained relatively unchanged at June 30, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997, other than a decrease of $2.1 million in real estate construction and land development loans and a $2.2 million decrease in loans secured by commercial properties, offset by a $3.8 million increase in other secured and unsecured commercial loans. 17 The following comparative period-end table sets forth certain information concerning nonperforming assets.

Nonaccrual loans increased $995,000 during the first half of 1998 to $2.2 million compared with $1.2 million at December 31, 1997, due to increased delinquencies in the SBA and commercial loan portfolios. Troubled debt restructurings ("TDR") represent loans for which the Company has modified the terms of loans to borrowers by reductions in interest rates or extensions of maturity dates at below-market rates for loans with similar credit risk characteristics. TDRs totaled $49,000 at June 30, 1998 compared with $5.4 million at December 31, 1997. The reduction in TDR loans during the first six months of 1998 is due to the reclassification of one loan totaling $5.4 million discussed below. At June 30, 1998, all TDR loans were performing in accordance with their modified terms. Loans contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to either principal or interest and still accruing interest increased to $5.4 million at June 30, 1998 from zero at December 31, 1997. This increase is represented by one loan, a $5.4 million loan that is secured by a first deed of trust on a single family residence which, as of January 1998, had an appraised value of $10 million (previously reported as a TDR loan). The bank is in the process of collection with respect to this loan. Other real estate owned ("OREO") at June 30, 1998 consisted of two properties totaling $517,000 representing two undeveloped commercially zoned parcels and one residential parcel. As a result of these changes, the amount of non-performing assets at June 30, 1998 was 9.6% greater than the level at December 31, 1997. 18 Loan delinquencies greater than 30 days past due increased to $5.4 million or 8.9% of loans receivable at June 30, 1998 from $752,000 or 1.2% of loans receivable at December 31, 1997. This increase in loan delinquencies during the first quarter of 1998 was primarily the result of the $5.4 loan discussed above, which at June 30, 1998 was greater than 180 days past due.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that selected information about those operating segments be reported in interim financial statements. This statement supersedes SFAS 14 "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise". SFAS No. 131 requires that all public enterprises report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker in 19 deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company believes that this Statement will have no significant impact on its financial position or results of operations for 1998. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (SFAS 132"). This Statement standardizes the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans and recommends a parallel format for presenting information about pensions and other postretirement benefits. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company believes that this Statement will have no significant impact on its financial position or results of operations for 1998 since it has no defined benefit plans. CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS At June 30, 1998 the Company and the Bank were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements and the Bank was "well capitalized" under the Prompt Corrective Action rules of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. On June 30, 1998 the Company contributed $2.0 million of capital to the Bank to enable it to increase its legal lending limit and provide sufficient capital for continued growth. The following table sets forth the regulatory capital standards for well capitalized institutions, and the capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY The Company continues to manage its liquidity through a combination of core deposits (total deposits excluding money desk and escrow deposits), federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, collateralized borrowing lines at the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and a portfolio of securities available for sale. Liquidity is also provided by maturing investment securities and loans. 20 Average core deposits (excludes money desk and escrow deposits) and shareholders' equity comprised 64.8% and 65.6% of total funding in the second quarter and first six months of 1998, respectively, compared to 64.8% and 65.1% during the corresponding periods of 1997. The following table shows that the Company's cumulative one year interest rate sensitivity gap indicated a liability sensitive position of $5.4 million at June 30, 1998, a change from the asset sensitive position of $100,000 at December 31, 1997. This change resulted from the Company's effort to lower its exposure to decreases in net interest income due to a rapid decline in interest rates. During the last six months, the Company has increased its investment securities portfolio that reprice after one year to $48.9 million at June 30, 1998 from $40.5 million at December 31, 1997, increased its portfolio of loans that reprice after one year to $18.0 million at June 30, 1998 from $15.5 million at December 31, 1997 and increased its time certificates of deposit which reprice within one year to $23.6 million at June 30, 1998 from $20.7 million at December 31, 1997. The Company's liability sensitive position during a period of slowly rising interest rates is not expected to have a significant negative impact on net interest income since rates paid on the Company's large base of interest checking, savings and money market deposit accounts historically have not increased proportionately with increases in interest rates. 21 RATE-SENSITIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

(1) Customer deposits which are subject to immediate withdrawal are presented as repricing within three months or less. The distribution of other time deposits is based on scheduled maturities. 23 YEAR 2000 MATTERS As the year 2000 approaches, a critical issue has emerged regarding how existing application software programs and operating systems can accommodate this date value. In brief, many existing application software products were designed to only accommodate a two digit date position which represents the year (e.g., '95' is stored on the system and represents the year 1995). As a result, the year 1999 (i.e., '99') could be the maximum date value these systems will be able to accurately process. Management is in the process of working with its data processing vendors to assure that the Company is prepared for the year 2000 and has developed a detailed project plan to address the possible exposures related to the impact on its computer systems as well as those of its vendors/partners and key clients. Critical financial information and operational systems have been assessed and a time and action plan has been developed to ensure testing of systems modifications by December 31, 1998. The financial impact of making the required systems changes is not expected to be material to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 The Company wishes to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as to "forward looking" statements in this Quarterly Report which are not historical facts. The Company cautions readers that the following important factors could affect the Company's business and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company. - - Economic conditions. The Company's results are strongly influenced by general economic conditions in its market area, Southern California, and a deterioration in these conditions could have a material adverse impact on the quality of the Bank's loan portfolio and the demand for its products and services. In particular, changes in economic conditions in the real estate and entertainment industries may affect the Company's performance. - - Interest rates. Management anticipates that short-term interest rate levels will remain constant in 1998, but if interest rates vary substantially from this expectation, the Company's results could differ materially. - - Government regulation and monetary policy. All forward-looking statements presume a continuation of the existing regulatory environment and U.S. Government monetary policies. The banking industry is subject to extensive federal and state regulations, and significant new laws for changes in, or repeal of, existing laws may cause results to differ materially. Further, federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects 24 credit conditions for the Bank, primarily through open market operations in U.S. government securities, the discount rate for member bank borrowing and bank reserve requirements, and a material change in these conditions would be likely to have an impact on results. - - Competition. The Bank competes with numerous other financial institutions and non-depository financial intermediaries. Results may differ if circumstances affecting the nature or level of competition change, such as the merger of competing financial institutions or the acquisition of California institutions by out-of-state companies. - - Credit quality. A significant source of risk arises from the possibility that losses will be sustained because borrowers, guarantors and related parties may fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. The Bank has adopted underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and credit policies, including the establishment and review of the allowance for credit losses, that management believes are appropriate to minimize this risk by assessing the likelihood of nonperformance, tracking loan performance and diversifying the Bank's credit portfolio, but such policies and procedures may not prevent unexpected losses that could adversely affect the Company's results. - - Other risks. From time to time, the Company details other risks to its businesses and/or its financial results in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While management believes that its assumptions regarding these and other factors on which forward looking statements are based are reasonable, such assumptions are necessarily speculative in nature, and actual outcomes can be expected to differ to some degree. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the results described in such forward looking statements will, in fact, be achieved. 25 PART II--OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. ITEM 2.
