6 FIRST REPUBLIC BANCORP INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements of First Republic Bancorp Inc. ("First Republic") include its subsidiaries, First Republic Thrift & Loan ("First Thrift"), and First Republic Savings Bank. First Republic and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company." All material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 financial statements in order for them to conform with the 1996 presentation. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders and Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. Results for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year. 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 65." SFAS No. 122 requires that the rights to service mortgage loans for others be recognized as a separate asset, however those servicing rights are acquired. The total cost of originating or purchasing mortgage loans should be allocated between the loan and the servicing rights based on their relative fair values. The statement also requires the assessment of all capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment to be based on current fair value of those rights. The Company implemented SFAS No. 122 effective January 1, 1996. The impact of SFAS No. 122 on the Company's financial position is expected to be immaterial and the impact on the Company's results will be to change the timing of reported earnings. SFAS No. 122 resulted in an increase in earnings before taxes of approximately $285,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 applies to all transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services by issuing equity instruments such as common stock, except for employee stock ownership plans. SFAS No. 123 establishes a new method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees which is fair value based. The Statement encourages (but does not require) employers to adopt the new method in place of the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Companies may continue to apply the accounting provisions of APB 25 in determining net income; however, they must apply the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. If the Company adopts the fair value based method of SFAS No. 123, a higher compensation cost would result for fixed stock option plans and a different compensation cost will result for the Company's contingent or variable stock option plans. The recognition provisions and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective January 1, 1996. The Company has elected to continue to use its current practice under APB 25. 7 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL - ------- First Republic is a financial services company operating in California and Nevada as a thrift and loan holding company and as a mortgage banking company, originating, holding or selling, and servicing mortgage loans. First Republic owns and operates First Thrift, a California-chartered, FDIC-insured, thrift and loan subsidiary, and First Republic Savings Bank, a Nevada-chartered, FDIC-insured thrift and loan subsidiary (collectively, the "Thrifts"). First Thrift and First Republic Savings Bank are members of the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), not the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The Company is presently contemplating the merger of its two thrift and loan subsidiaries, First Thrift and First Republic Savings Bank, in order to achieve certain operational efficiencies. Additionally, the Company may in the future pursue a change in the legal charter of its subsidiaries from a thrift and loan charter to a commercial bank charter. Such a charter change would allow the Company to provide additional services, including traditional checking accounts, to its customers. The Company is also considering merging the holding company into the merged operating subsidiary, if such subsidiary is converted to a commercial bank. Each of these potential corporate reorganizations is subject to regulatory approval and the Company's review of various business considerations and federal and state laws; the holding company merger is also subject to stockholder approval. There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing contemplated reorganizations will be accomplished. The Company is primarily engaged in originating residential real estate secured loans on single family residences. The Company's loan portfolio also contains loans secured by commercial properties and multifamily properties. Currently, the Company's strategy in California is to emphasize the origination of single family loans and to limit the origination of multifamily and commercial real estate mortgage loans. Lending activities in Las Vegas are primarily focused on single family and multifamily residential construction projects and permanent mortgage loans on income properties. The Company emphasizes its real estate lending activities in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Diego because of the proximity of its loan offices and the experience of executive management with real estate in these areas. In addition to the Company performing an underwriting analysis on each borrower and obtaining independent property appraisals, an officer of the Company generally visits each property or project prior to the closing of new loans. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company continued its focus on single family lending, and the level of loan originations increased from the prior year as a result of average interest rates being lower and improved secondary market conditions allowing the amount of loans sold or originated for sale to investors to be higher. Total loans of all types originated by the Company in 1995 were $584.4 million, and loan sales were $99.2 million in 1995. For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company originated $198.9 million of loans and loan sales were $42.4 million, as compared to loan originations of $107.3 million and loan sales of $10.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. 8 GENERAL (Continued) - ------------------- The Company either retains the loans it originates in its loan portfolio or sells the loans to institutional investors in the secondary market. The Company has retained the servicing rights for substantially all loans sold in the secondary market, thereby generating ongoing servicing fees. The Company's mortgage servicing portfolio consisted of $788.2 million in loans at March 31, 1996. The following table presents certain performance ratios and share data information for the Company for the last three years and the first quarter of the current and prior years.

- -------------------------------- *Three months data is annualized First Thrift's retail deposits and FHLB advances are the Company's principal source of funds with loan principal repayments, sales of loans, the retail deposits of First Republic Savings Bank, and the proceeds from debt and equity financings as supplemental sources. The Company's deposit gathering activities are conducted in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego County, California and in Las Vegas, Nevada. First Thrift is an approved voluntary member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). First Thrift is currently approved for approximately 40% of its total assets or approximately $748 million of FHLB advances at March 31, 1996. Such advances are collateralized by real estate mortgage loans and $581.5 million has been advanced at March 31, 1996. Membership in the FHLB provides First Thrift with an alternative funding source for its loans. First Thrift, whose deposits are insured by the FDIC BIF, operates four branches in San Francisco, a branch in San Rafael in Marin County north of San Francisco, a branch in Los Angeles, a branch in Beverly Hills, and three branches in San Diego County. As of March 31, 1996, First Thrift had total assets of $1,871,433,000, tangible shareholder's equity of $130,675,000 and total capital (consisting of tangible shareholder's equity, subordinated capital notes and reserves) of $158,492,000. At March 31, 1996, First Thrift's tangible shareholder's equity as a percentage of total assets was 6.98% and its total 9 GENERAL (Continued) - ------------------ capital as a percentage of risk adjusted assets was 12.80%, compared to a risk adjusted capital ratio requirement of 8.0%. Under FDIC regulations, First Thrift calculates its Leverage Ratio at 7.07%, using Tier 1 capital (as defined under the FDIC's risk-based capital definitions) and average total assets for the most recent quarter. LIQUIDITY - --------- Liquidity refers to the ability to maintain a cash flow adequate to fund operations and to meet present and future obligations of the Company either through the sale or maturity of existing assets or by the acquisition of funds through liability management. The Company maintains a portion of its assets in a diversified portfolio of marketable investment securities, which includes U.S. Government securities and mortgage backed securities. At March 31, 1996, the investment securities portfolio of $155,605,000, plus cash and short term investments of $30,351,000, amounted to $185,956,000, or 9.4% of total assets. At March 31, 1996, 92% of the Company's investments mature within twelve months or are adjustable rate in nature. At March 31, 1996, the Company owned no investments of a trading nature. Additional sources of liquidity at March 31, 1996 are provided by borrowings collateralized by investment securities of approximately $123,000,000 and available unused FHLB advances of approximately $167,000,000. Management believes that the sources of available liquidity are adequate to meet the Company's reasonably foreseeable short-term and long-term demands. ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT - ------------------------------ The Company seeks to manage its asset and liability portfolios to help reduce any adverse impact on its net interest income caused by fluctuating interest rates. To achieve this objective, the Company emphasizes the origination of adjustable interest rate or short-term fixed rate loans and the matching of adjustable rate asset repricings with short- and intermediate-term investment certificates and adjustable rate borrowings. The Company's profitability may be adversely affected by rapid changes in interest rates. Institutions with long-term assets (both loans and investments) can experience a decrease in profitability and in the value of such assets if the general level of interest rates rises. While substantially all of the Company's assets are adjustable rate mortgage loans and investments, at March 31, 1996 approximately 68% of these assets which adjust within one year were assets based on an interest rate index which generally lags increases and decreases in market rates (the 11th District Cost of Funds Index or "COFI"). Additionally, the Company's loans contain interim rate increase caps or limitations which can contribute to a further lagging of rates earned on loans. At March 31, 1996, approximately 88% of the Company's interest-earning assets and 83% of interest-bearing liabilities will reprice within the next year and the Company's one-year cumulative GAP is positive 10.1%. Despite the Company's positive repricing position, the Company's net interest margin decreased in the first and second quarters of 1995 as a result of the rapid rise in rates in 1994. The Company's net interest margin has increased slightly in the third and fourth quarters of 1995 and also in the first quarter of 1996. Important factors affecting the Company's net interest margin include competition and conditions in the home loan market which affect 10 ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT (Continued) - ----------------------------------------- loan yields, the cost of the Company's FHLB advances, mortgage loan repricings being subject to interim limitations on asset repricings, the Company's strategy to increase its home loans which carry lower margins and the lagging nature of COFI. The following table summarizes the differences between the Company's maturing or rate adjusting assets and liabilities, or "GAP" position, at March 31, 1996. Generally, an excess of maturing or rate adjusting assets over maturing or rate adjusting liabilities during a given period, will serve to enhance earnings in a rising rate environment and inhibit earnings when rates decline. Conversely, when maturing or rate adjusting liabilities exceed maturing or rate adjusting assets during a given period, a rising rate environment will inhibit earnings and declining rates will serve to enhance earnings. See "-Results of Operations" for a discussion of the change in the Company's net interest spread for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. A portion of the Company's adjustable loans carry minimum interest rates, or floors, which became the effective loan yield as rates declined and approximately $174,268,000 of such loans remain at these minimum interest rates as of March 31, 1996. The following table illustrates projected maturities or interest rate adjustments based upon the contractual maturities or adjustment dates at March 31, 1996: 11

(1) Adjustable rate loans consist principally of real estate secured loans with a maximum term of 30 years. Such loans are generally adjustable monthly, semiannually, or annually based upon changes in the One Year Treasury Constant Maturity Index, the Federal Reserve's Six Month CD Index, or the FHLB 11th District Cost of Funds Index (COFI), subject generally to a maximum increase of 2% annually and 5% over the lifetime of the loan. (2) Passbook and MMA account maturities and rate adjustments are allocated based upon management's experience of historical interest rate volatility and erosion rates. However, all passbook and MMA accounts are contractually subject to immediate withdrawal. 12 ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT (Continued) - ----------------------------------------- In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table must be considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react differently to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages and mortgage related investments, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. The Company considers the anticipated effects of these various factors in implementing its interest rate risk management activities, including the utilization of interest rate caps. The Company has entered into interest rate cap transactions in the aggregate notional principal amount of $1,065,000,000 which terminate in periods ranging from June 1996 through September 2000. Under the terms of these transactions, which have been entered into with nine unrelated commercial or investment banking institutions or their affiliates, the Company will be reimbursed quarterly for increases in the three-month London Inter-Bank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") for any quarter during the term of the applicable transaction in which such rate exceeds a rate ranging from 9.0% to 12.5% as established for the applicable transaction. The interest rate cap transactions are intended to act as hedges for the interest rate risk created by restrictions on the maximum yield of certain variable rate loans and investment securities held by the Company which may, therefore, at times be exposed to the effect of unrestricted increases in the rates paid on the liabilities which fund these assets. Additionally, $37,400,000 of First Thrift's advances with the FHLB contain interest caps of 12.0% as part of the borrowing agreements. At March 31, 1996, First Thrift also owned certain shorter-term interest rate cap contracts purchased in 1994 as protection against further increases in interest rates during 1995 and 1996. Monthly repricing caps in the notional principal amount of $150,000,000 carry a strike rate which increases from 6.75% to 8.92% over the period from April 1995 to maturity in July 1996 and $50,000,000 of interest rate caps carry a strike rate of 8% until maturity in December 1996. The cost of interest rate cap transactions is amortized over their lives and totaled $399,000 and $430,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Although these costs reduce current earnings, the Company believes that the cost is justified by the protection these interest rate cap transactions provide against significantly increased interest rates. The effect of these interest rate cap transactions is not factored into the determination of interest rate adjustments provided in the table above. At March 31, 1996, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps with the FHLB in the notional principal amount of $25,000,000 to convert the fixed rate on certain long-term FHLB advances to semi-annual adjustable liabilities. The availability of long-term FHLB advances, with a weighted average maturity of over 10 years at March 31, 1996, has reduced the Company's dependence upon retail deposits, which generally have a shorter maturity than the contractual life of mortgage loans. The Company will continue to consider the alternative of FHLB advances as an integral part of its asset and liability management program. The Company is exposed to market loss if the counterparties to its interest rate cap and swap agreements fail to perform; however, the Company does not anticipate such nonperformance. Since 1990, the Company has utilized FHLB advances as a supplement to deposit gathering to fund its assets. FHLB advances require no deposit insurance premiums and operational overhead costs are less than for deposits. FHLB advances must be collateralized by the pledging of mortgage loans which are assets of First Thrift. At March 31, 1996, total FHLB advances outstanding were $581,530,000. Of this 13 ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT (Continued) - ------------------------------------------ amount, $503,330,000 had an original maturity of 10 years or more and $23,200,000 had an original maturity of two years subsequently extended for a period of 8 years to 10 years. The longer term advances provide the Company with an assured level of funding for its term real estate assets with longer lives. First Thrift is subject to the provisions of the California Industrial Loan Law, which limits the amount of customer deposit balances which may be raised to twenty times its shareholder's equity. At March 31, 1996, based on the amount of deposits outstanding, First Thrift was required to maintain minimum shareholder's equity of approximately $56,100,000, compared with actual shareholder's equity of $130,675,000. CAPITAL RESOURCES - ----------------- The Company continues to maintain a strong capital base. At March 31, 1996 the Company's total capital, including total stockholders' equity, debentures and reserves was $194,377,000. Total stockholders' equity at March 31, 1996 has increased by $3,202,000 since December 31, 1995. This increase results primarily from the net income of $2,770,000 for the first quarter of 1996 and an increase of $216,000 in the market value of the Company's portfolio of adjustable rate perpetual preferred stocks, which are classified as securities available for sale because they carry no stated maturity. First Republic is not a bank holding company, and unlike First Thrift and First Republic Savings Bank, is not directly regulated or supervised by the FDIC, nor is it regulated by the Federal Reserve Board or any other bank regulatory agency. Thus, First Republic is not subject to the risk-based capital or leverage requirements. If such regulations applied, the Company calculates that at March 31, 1996 its leverage ratio would have been 5.73%, and its total risk based capital ratio would have been 15.1%, as calculated by management assuming, however, all of the Company's subordinated debentures constitute Tier 2 capital and are not limited to 50% of Tier 1 capital. During the first quarter of 1995, the Company acquired 53,603 treasury shares which completed the repurchase of 406,000 shares of common stock previously approved for repurchase by the Board of Directors. In March 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized for repurchase from time to time up to an additional 250,000 shares of common stock. Repurchases of an additional 80,000 shares of common stock in March, April and November 1995 brought total treasury shares repurchased to 486,000 at March 31, 1996. During the first quarter of 1996, First Republic received from First Thrift dividends of $974,000 representing approximately 24% of First Thrift's earnings for the first quarter. First Republic also received interest payments of $263,000 from First Thrift for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Also, First Republic has received dividends of $76,000 from First Republic Savings Bank, representing 20% of that subsidiary's earnings for the fourth quarter of 1995; dividends of $74,000 for the first quarter of 1996 will be paid in May 1996. The ability of First Republic to receive future dividends and other payments from the Thrifts depends upon the operating results and capital levels of the Thrifts, restrictions upon such payments imposed by creditors of the Thrifts, FDIC regulations and other governmental regulations governing the Thrifts. 14 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to - ----------------------- ---------------------------------------- Quarter Ended March 31, 1995 ---------------------------- The Company derives its income from three principal areas of business: (1) net interest income which is the difference between the interest income the Company receives on interest-earning portfolio loans and investments and the interest expense it pays on interest-bearing liabilities such as customer deposits and borrowings; (2) mortgage banking operations involving the origination and sale of real estate secured loans; and (3) servicing fee income which results from the ongoing servicing of such loans for investors and the servicing of other loans pursuant to purchased servicing rights. During the first quarter of 1996, First Republic's total assets grew to $1,972,611,000 at March 31, 1996 from $1,904,253,000 at December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of an increase in single family mortgage loans. The Company's loan originations for the first quarter of 1996 were $198,941,000, compared to $151,341,000 for the fourth quarter of 1995 and $107,269,000 for the first quarter of 1995. The amount of single family loans originated in the first quarter of 1996 was $36 million higher than those originated in the fourth quarter of 1995, while there was a slight increase in multifamily and construction lending from the prior quarter. Single family loans originated in the first quarter of 1996 were $161 million compared to $72 million in the first quarter of 1995 and $413 million for all of 1995. Mortgage banking activity resulted in the sale of $42,374,000 of single family loans to secondary market investors during the first quarter of 1996, compared with $10,556,000 in the first quarter of 1995. The Company's portfolio of real estate loans serviced for secondary market investors decreased to $788,199,000 at March 31, 1996 from $804,856,000 at December 31, 1995, as prepayments of existing loans serviced exceeded loan sales. The level of future loan originations, loan sales and loan repayments is dependent in part on overall credit availability and the interest rate environment, the recovery in the general economy and housing industry, and conditions in the secondary loan sale markets. The Company reported net income of $2,770,000 for the first quarter of 1996 as compared to net income of $1,384,000 in the same quarter of 1995. Fully diluted earnings per share was $0.31 for the first quarter of 1996, compared to $0.18 for the similar period in 1995. First Republic's operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were higher than earnings a year ago primarily because of higher net interest income. Total interest income increased to $38,658,000 for the first quarter of 1996 from $31,956,000 for the first quarter of 1995. Interest income on real estate and other loans increased to $35,173,000 for the first quarter of 1996, compared to $28,898,000 in 1995. The average yield on loans decreased to 8.22% in the first quarter of 1996 from 8.29% for the fourth quarter of 1995 and was 7.60% for the first quarter of 1995. The Company's yield on loans is affected by market rates, the level of adjustable rate loan indexes, the effect of new single family loans earning lower initial rates of interest and the level of nonaccrual loans. The Company's net loans receivable outstanding increased from $1,682,263,000 at December 31, 1995 to $1,731,192,000 at March 31, 1996. As a percentage of the Company's permanent loan portfolio, loans secured by single family residences increased to 62% at March 31, 1996 from 57% at March 31, 1995. Interest income on cash, short-term investments and investment securities increased as a result of a higher average portfolio for the quarter earning a slightly higher average rate. Such interest income was $3,485,000 in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $3,058,000 in the same period of 1995. The average 15 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS- Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Quarter - ---------------------- ------------------------------------------------ Ended March 31, 1995 (Continued) -------------------------------- investment position was $210,117,000 during the first quarter of 1996 and earned 6.86% compared to an average position of $187,960,000 earning 6.71% during the first quarter of 1995. To the extent that the Company's investment portfolio increases as a proportion of total assets, there could be an adverse effect on the Company's net interest margin, since rates earned on investments tend to be lower than rates earned on loans. Total interest expense for the first quarter has increased to $27,402,000 in 1996 from $23,740,000 in 1995. Total interest expense consists of two components - interest expense on deposits and interest expense on FHLB advances, other borrowings and debentures. Interest expense on deposits (comprised of passbook and money market (MMA) accounts and certificates of deposit), increased to $17,160,000 in the first quarter of 1996 from 13,369,000 in the first quarter of 1995. The average rate paid on deposits was 5.90% for the first quarter of 1996, compared to 6.10% for the fourth quarter of 1995 and 5.50% for the first quarter of 1995. Interest expense on other borrowings decreased to $10,242,000 in the first quarter of 1996 from $10,371,000 in the first quarter of 1995, as a result of a lower average rate paid on a higher average level of FHLB advances. The average rate paid on the Company's other borrowings and FHLB advances, excluding longer term debentures, was 6.13% for the first quarter of 1996, compared to 6.50% for the fourth quarter of 1995, and 6.28% for the first quarter of 1995; thus the average rate paid on these liabilities, primarily FHLB advances, decreased 37 basis points (.37%) from the fourth quarter of 1995 to the first quarter of 1996. The Company's net interest income was $11,256,000 for the first quarter of 1996, compared to $8,216,000 for the first quarter of 1995, as a result of earning a higher spread on a higher average balance of assets. The net interest margin, calculated as net interest income divided by total average interest earning assets, was 1.96% for the first quarter of 1996, compared to 1.81% for the fourth quarter of 1995, 1.60% for all of 1995 and 1.59% for the first quarter of 1995. The Company's net interest spread has gradually increased each quarter since the second quarter of 1995. From early 1994, through March 31, 1995, the cost of FHLB advances increased more rapidly than the cost of the Company's deposits, due to rapidly rising short term interest rates. The Company's advances have interest rates which generally adjust semiannually and to a lesser extent annually, with repricing points spread throughout the year. There are no limitations or interim caps on the amount that the interest rate on FHLB advances may increase. Thus, at each repricing point, the cost of an FHLB advance fully reflects market rates. Most of the Company's adjustable mortgage loans have interim rate increase limitations. This adverse trend began a reversal in the third quarter of 1995, as the weighted average cost of the Company's FHLB advances decreased as a result of the decline in market rates. Non-interest income for the first quarter of 1996 increased to $1,267,000 from $922,000 in the first quarter of 1995, primarily due to higher loan related fee income and higher gain on sale of loans. Service fee revenue, net of amortized costs on the Company's premium on sale of loans and mortgage servicing rights, was $642,000 for the first quarter of 1996 compared to $712,000 for the same period of 1995, primarily due to a lower average balance of mortgage servicing rights. The average balance of the servicing portfolio decreased to $799,999,000 for the first quarter of 1996 compared to $823,965,000 for all of 1995. Total loans serviced were $788,199,000 at March 31, 1996 and $804,856,000 at December 31, 1995. The percentage of servicing fees received depends upon the terms of the loans as originated and conditions in the secondary market when loans are sold. The Company receives servicing 16 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Quarter - ----------------------- ------------------------------------------------ Ended March 31, 1995 (Continued) -------------------------------- fees, on the outstanding loan balances serviced, which averaged approximately 0.37% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 0.37% for all of 1995. For the first quarter, loan and related fee income increased $244,000 to $433,000 in 1996 from $189,000 in 1995. This income category includes documentation and processing fees which vary with loan volume and market conditions, late charge income which generally varies with the size of the loan and servicing portfolios and economic conditions, and prepayment penalty income which generally varies with loan activity and market conditions. The Company sells whole loans and loan participations in the secondary market under several specific programs. Loan sales were $42,374,000 for the first quarter of 1996 and $10,556,000 for the first quarter of 1995. Included in the gain on the sale of these loans is the value attributed to mortgage loan servicing rights under SFAS No. 122, which was $293,000 for the first quarter of 1996. Many of the loans sold in the first quarter of 1996 carried fixed rates for initial periods of 3 to 7 years before becoming adjustable. The Company's mortgage banking activities have been focused on entering into formal commitments and informal agreements with institutional investors to originate on a direct flow basis single family mortgages which are priced and underwritten to conform to previously agreed upon criteria prior to loan funding and are delivered to the investor shortly after funding. Also, the Company has historically identified, from time to time, secondary market sources which have particular needs which can be filled primarily with adjustable rate single family loans held in its portfolio. The amount of loans sold is dependent upon conditions in both the mortgage origination and secondary loan sales markets, and the level of gains will fluctuate. The Company computes a gain or loss on sale at the time of sale by comparing sales price with carrying value and by calculating a capitalized premium, if any. A premium results when the interest rate on the loan, adjusted for a normal service fee, exceeds the pass-through yield to the buyer. The sale of loans resulted in net gains of $172,000 for the first quarter of 1996, compared to net gains of $2,000 for the same period of 1995. Non-interest expense totaled $6,010,000 for the first quarter of 1996, compared to $5,338,000 for the same period in 1995. Because the Company's subsidiaries are insured by the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), the premiums charged for the first quarter of 1996 were reduced from $530,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to $78,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The Company's non-interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 included $726,000 related to results of operating REO properties and losses on disposition or changes in value of REO properties, net, compared to $413,000 in the first quarter of 1995. As a percentage of total assets, recurring general and administrative expenses, excluding REO related costs, was 1.09% for the first quarter of 1996, compared to 1.04% for the fourth quarter of 1995, 1.14% for the first quarter of 1995, and 1.07% for all of 1995. The following table presents for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, the distribution of consolidated average assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income, average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, and the dollar amounts of interest expense, average interest-bearing liabilities, and rates paid. Nonaccrual loans are included in the calculation of the average balances of loans and interest on nonaccrual loans is included only to the extent recognized on 17 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Quarter - ----------------------- ------------------------------------------------ Ended March 31, 1995 (Continued) -------------------------------- a cash basis.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 1996 is generally comparable to that at December 31, 1995. Total assets have increased $68,358,000 to $1,972,611,000. Loans held for sale decreased $3,003,000 and other loans in the Company's portfolio increased $51,932,000, including an increase of $59,683,000 in single family mortgages. Funds were raised primarily by retail deposits which increased $54,565,000 and $11,000,000 in FHLB advances. The Company's reserve for possible losses was $18,878,000 at March 31, 1996, and there were fifteen foreclosed real estate properties resulting in other real estate owned with a net book value of $15,508,000. ASSET QUALITY AND PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES - ----------------------------------------------- The levels of the Company's provision for losses and reserve for losses are related to the size and composition of the loan portfolio, general economic conditions, and conditions affecting the real estate markets in which the Company conducts lending activities. The following table sets forth by category the total loan portfolio of the Company at the dates indicated.

(1) Includes equity lines of credit secured by single family residences and single family loans held for sale. The Company places an asset on nonaccrual status when any installment of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due (except for loans which are judged by management to be well secured and in the process of collection, generally applicable to single family loans), or when management determines the ultimate collection of all contractually due principal or interest to be unlikely. Additionally, loans restructured to defer or waive amounts due are placed on nonaccrual status and generally will continue in this status until a satisfactory payment history is achieved (generally at least six payments). 19 ASSET QUALITY AND PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES (Continued) - ----------------------------------------------------------- The following table presents nonaccruing loans and investments, REO, performing restructured loans and accruing single family loans over 90 days past due at the dates indicated.

At March 31, 1996, the dollar amount of the Company's nonaccruing loans and REO after chargeoffs was $47,574,000, compared to $46,748,000 at December 31, 1995. At March 31, 1996, 58% of nonaccruing assets, or approximately $21,438,000 of loans and $6,340,000 of REO, were adversely impacted by the Northridge earthquake. On January 17, 1994, the Northridge earthquake struck the Los Angeles area, causing significant damage to the freeway system and real estate values throughout the area. The Company's loans secured by low to moderate income multifamily properties were primarily affected by this event, either by direct property damage, loss of tenants, or economic difficulties resulting from lower rental revenues and higher vacancies. Certain earthquake affected loans remain on nonaccrual status because of uncertainty about their ultimate collectability, even though the loans may have been paying for as much as 12 months. In 1994, 1995 and continuing into 1996, the Company has experienced increased delinquencies, additional loan loss provisions and higher partial loan chargeoffs as a result of this substantial natural disaster. Additionally, certain loans in Northern California which have been placed on nonaccrual status because of changes in the borrower's condition, the property's status or the loan's terms. 20 ASSET QUALITY AND PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES (Continued) - ----------------------------------------------------------- The following table summarizes the changes in the Company's nonaccrual loans during the first quarter of 1996. Nonaccrual loans are segmented by major geographical region and activity.

Additions to nonaccrual loans during the first quarter of 1996 were primarily related to six apartment loans ($7,617,000) in Los Angeles County which were impacted by the earthquake, plus one commercial real estate loan ($669,000) and one single family home loan ($484,000) in that area. Deductions from nonaccrual loans during the first quarter of 1996 resulted from chargeoffs to the Company's allowance for possible losses, actual foreclosures upon properties and the transfer of one loan from nonaccrual to performing status as the result of the borrower attaining a satisfactory payment history. Also, cash proceeds of $1,924,000 received during the first quarter of 1996 were used to reduce the carrying basis of nonaccrual loans, including $1,500,000 to fully pay off one nonaccrual loan. Chargeoffs on nonaccrual loans occur when the Company determines that the collateral value is reduced to other than temporary levels. Chargeoffs recorded in the first quarter of 1996 related both to loans which were on nonaccrual status at December 31, 1995 and to loans which were placed on nonaccrual status or transfered to REO during the first quarter. While the future collateral value of these properties may change, the Company recorded chargeoffs to reduce the carrying basis of its nonaccrual loans to the estimated current collateral value, net of selling costs (See "Impaired Loans"). Chargeoffs were $1,269,000 for loans secured by properties in Los Angeles County and $427,000 for loans secured by properties in Northern California. As of March 31, 1996, the amounts reported for REO, nonaccruing loans, and performing restructured loans have been reduced by previous chargeoffs of $6,327,000, $7,431,000 and $328,000, respectively. The Company's nonaccrual loans included $21,313,000 of loans on which interest payments were received during the quarter at an average annualized yield of 6.4% on their recorded investment. As a result of the terms of these restructurings, such loans will be reported as nonaccrual loans until a 21 ASSET QUALITY AND PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES (Continued) - ----------------------------------------------------------- satisfactory payment history is achieved and the Company believes its recorded investment in the loans is secure. As of March 31, 1996, $6,349,000 of modified loans are reported as performing restructured loans. Additional loan modifications, including loan restructurings, were completed in the first quarter of 1996 and additional modifications may be entered into with the Company's borrowers in future quarters. During the first quarter of 1996, ten loans totaling $6,574,000 after partial chargeoff were transferred to REO. Two REO properties with a remaining December 31, 1995 book value totaling $1,106,000 were sold and the Company recovered proceeds approximately equal to the written down basis of these properties. At March 31, 1996, the Company held as REO properties seven apartment buildings, four commercial real estate properties, two single family homes, one partially completed single family construction project and one parcel of land. The Company's policy is to attempt to resolve problem assets reasonably quickly, including the aggressive pursuit of foreclosure or other workout procedures. It has been the Company's general policy to sell such problem assets when acquired as promptly as possible at prices available in the prevailing market. For certain properties, including those acquired as a result of the Northridge earthquake, the Company has made repairs and engaged management companies to reach stabilized levels of occupancy prior to asset disposition. At March 31, 1996, the Company is actively preparing its REO properties for sale and expects to sell certain properties and to foreclose upon additional loans in the second quarter of 1996. At the time each loan is originated, the Company establishes a reserve for the inherent risk of potential future losses, based on established criteria, including the type of loan and loan-to-value or cash flow-to-debt service ratios. Management believes that such policy enables the Company's reserves to increase commensurate with growth in the size of the Company's loan portfolio. In the underwriting of purchased loans, management considers the inherent risk of loss in determining the price to be paid. When loans are purchased, a portion of any discount is designated as a reserve for possible losses, to reflect the inherent credit losses which could be reasonably expected to occur in the future, and is thereafter unavailable to be amortized as an increase in interest income. The Company's reserve for possible losses is maintained at a level estimated by management to be adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated based upon specific conditions at the time as determined by management, including past loss experience, the results of the Company's ongoing loan grading process, the amount of past due and nonperforming loans, observations of auditors, legal requirements, recommendations or requirements of regulatory authorities, current and expected economic conditions and other factors. Since inception through March 31, 1996, the Company has experienced a relatively low level of losses on its single family loans in each of its geographic market areas. The Company's cumulative single family loan loss experience is 0.06% on all loans originated. As of March 31, 1996, the Company has not experienced any losses on its permanent loan portfolio secured by real estate located in the Las Vegas market. Collectively, these two categories represented 71% of the Company's total loans at March 31, 1996. As a percentage of nonaccruing loans, the reserve for possible losses was 49% at December 31, 1995 and 22 ASSET QUALITY AND PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES (Continued) - ----------------------------------------------------------- 59% at March 31, 1996. Management's continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio and assessment of economic conditions will dictate future reserve levels. The adequacy of the Company's total reserves is reviewed quarterly. Management closely monitors all past due and restructured loans in assessing the adequacy of its total reserves. In addition, the Company follows procedures for reviewing and grading all of the larger income property loans in its portfolio on a periodic basis. Based predominately upon that continuous review and grading process, the Company will determine appropriate levels of total reserves in response to its assessment of the potential risk of loss inherent in its loan portfolio. Management will provide additional reserves when the results of its problem loan assessment methodology or overall reserve adequacy test indicate additional reserves are required. The review of problem loans is an ongoing process, during which management may determine that additional chargeoffs are required or additional loans should be placed on nonaccrual status. Although substantially all nonaccrual loans and loans that were adversely affected by the earthquake have been reduced to their currently estimated collateral fair value (net of selling costs) at March 31, 1996, there can be no assurance that additional reserves or chargeoffs will not be required in the event that the properties securing the Company's existing problem loans fail to maintain their values or that new problem loans arise. 23 ASSET QUALITY AND PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES (Continued) - ----------------------------------------------------------- The following table provides certain information with respect to the Company's reserve position and provisions for losses as well as chargeoff and recovery activity for the periods indicated.

- ---------------------- *Annualized IMPAIRED LOANS - -------------- Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118 (collectively referred to as SFAS No. 114). These statements address the accounting treatment of certain impaired loans and amend SFAS No. 5 and SFAS No. 15. However, these statements do not address the overall adequacy of the allowance for losses. A loan within the scope of SFAS No. 114 is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. For a loan that has been restructured subsequent to the January 1, 1995 adoption of SFAS No. 114 by the Company, the relevant 24 IMPAIRED LOANS (Continued) - -------------------------- contractual terms refer to the contractual terms specified by the original loan agreement, not the contractual terms specified by the restructuring agreement. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 114, a restructured loan may be excluded from the impairment assessment and may cease to be reported as an impaired loan in the calendar years subsequent to the restructuring if the loan is not impaired based on the modified terms. For loans that are impaired within the meaning of SFAS No. 114, the Company makes an assessment of impairment when and while such loans are on nonaccrual or the loans have been restructured. The measurement of impairment may be based on (i) the present value of the expected future cash flows of the impaired loan discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, (ii) the observable market price of the impaired loan, or (iii) the fair value of the collateral of a collateral dependent loan. The Company's loans are primarily real estate secured; therefore the Company primarily bases the measurement of impaired loans on the fair value of the collateral, reduced by costs to sell. If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized by creating or adjusting an existing allocation of the allowance for losses. Cash receipts on impaired loans not performing according to contractual terms are generally used to reduce the carrying value of the loan unless the Company believes it will recover the remaining principal balance of the loan. In accordance with the disclosures guidelines of SFAS No. 114, the following table shows the recorded investment in impaired loans and any related SFAS No. 114 allowance for losses at March 31, 1996. An impaired loan has a specific amount of the Company's reserves (allowance for losses) assigned to it whenever the collateral's fair value, net of selling costs, is less than the Company's recorded investment in the loan, after amounts charged off to reserves are deducted. Generally, impaired loans not requiring a special allowance under SFAS No. 114 have already been written down or have a net collateral fair value which exceeds the loan balance. 25 IMPAIRED LOANS (Continued) - --------------------------
Related Recorded SFAS No. 114 Investment in Allowance for Impaired Loans Losses -------------- ------------- Impaired loans requiring a SFAS No. 114 allowance: Single Family $ --- $ --- Multifamily 6,709,000 1,533,000 Commercial Real Estate 1,159,000 270,000 Other 350,000 47,000 ----------- ------------ 8,218,000 $ 1,850,000 ----------- ============ Impaired loans not requiring a SFAS No. 114 allowance: Single Family --- Multifamily 18,342,000 Commercial Real Estate 11,855,000 Other --- 30,197,000 ----------- Total $38,415,000 ===========
The $30,197,000 of loans reported as impaired loans not requiring a SFAS No. 114 allowance are classified in this manner because, as of March 31, 1996, the recorded investment in these loans have been reduced to their collateral fair value, net of selling costs, by $6,063,000 of specific chargeoffs to the Company's reserves. At March 31, 1996, the Company has designated $88,000 of its reserves to protect against contingent liabilities on certain of these loans, while the ultimate amount of payment, if any, is being contested. Total interest income recognized on loans designated as impaired for the first quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $300,000, all of which was recorded using the cash received method. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the first quarter of 1996 was approximately $45,000,000. 26 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
