PACIFIC CAPITAL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Note 1 - Basis of Presentation In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited consolidated financial statements, prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and subsidiaries at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the results of its operations and the statements of cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Certain information and note disclosures normally presented in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 1997. During 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. This statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. It distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. Under this approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes all financial and servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has incurred and derecognizes financial assets it no longer controls and liabilities that have been extinguished. This statement is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1996. The Company does not believe this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share and SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure. SFAS No. 128 supercedes APB Opinion No. 15 Earnings Per Share, and specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share ("EPS") for entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. SFAS No. 128 replaces Primary EPS and Fully Diluted EPS with Basic EPS and Diluted EPS, respectively. Upon adoption, it also requires dual presentation of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the Statement of Income for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the Basic EPS computation to the numerator of the Diluted EPS computation. SFAS No. 129 establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure for those entities deemed to have complex capital structures. These statements are effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of these statements is not anticipated to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The following table represents pro forma Earnings per Share as it would appear after adoption of these statements. Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 March 31, 1996 Basic Earnings per Share $0.55 $0.44 Diluted Earnings per Share $0.53 $0.43 Note 2 - Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First National Bank of Central California, ("First National"), and South Valley National Bank ("South Valley"). For purposes used herein, the term "Subsidiary Banks" shall mean First National and South Valley, collectively. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Note 3 - Loans to Directors In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made loans to directors of the Companyand their affiliates which at March 31, 1997 amounted to approximately $5,531,000. Note 4 - Commitments The Company had outstanding standby letters of credit of approximately $3,838,000 at March 31, 1997. Note 5 - Net Income Per Share and Dividends Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. On January 28, 1997, the Company declared a $0.165 per share cash dividend to shareholders of record on March 14, 1997, payable on March 31, 1997. Note 6 - Taxes As of March 31, 1997, the Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately $3,187,000. The asset results primarily from the provisions for possible loan losses and depreciation of premises and equipment, which are recognized in the financial statements but are not yet deductible for income tax reporting purposes. Management of the Company believes that the net deferred tax asset is fully realizable through sufficient taxable income within carryback periods and current year taxable income. PART 1 ITEM II - PACIFIC CAPITAL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview of Changes in the Financial Statements Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $2,242,000 or $0.53 per share compared to $1,801,000 or $0.43 per share during the comparable period in 1996. This 24.5% increase in net income is due mainly to a $937,000 increase in net interest income. The increase in net interest income is due to growth in average total loans of $89,594,000 partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $67,054,000 as compared to the same 1996 period. Outstanding loans were $396,835,000 at March 31, 1997 compared to $388,728,000 at December 31, 1996, a $8,107,000 or 2.1% increase. The increase in outstanding loans from December 31, 1996 to March 31, 1997 resulted primarily from an increase in real estate mortgage loans of $9,467,000, an increase in real estate construction loans of $7,170,000 partially offset by a decrease in commercial loans of $3,941,000, and a decrease in other loans of $3,478,000. Federal Funds Sold and Investment Securities at March 31, 1997 were $173,776,000, a $19,449,000 or 12.6% increase from December 31, 1996. This was primarily due to the increase in total deposits which resulted in an increase in cash invested in Federal Funds. The Company's total deposits at March 31, 1997 were $574,423,000 compared to $547,182,000 at December 31, 1996, a $27,241,000 or 5.0% increase. Non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased $2,821,000, interest bearing demand deposits decreased $817,000 and savings and money market deposit accounts increased $3,877,000 in the first three months of 1997. Certificates of deposit increased by $27,002,000 or 16.3% during the first three months of 1997. Management believes that the growth in deposits is a result of the overall strength in the local tourism, agribusiness, and high-tech industries within the local economies in which the Company operates. The loan to deposit ratio at March 31, 1997 was 69.1% as compared to 71.0% at December 31, 1996. Loans Outstanding total loans averaged $394,426,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $304,832,000 for the comparable period in 1996, an increase of $89,594,000, or 29.4%. This increase in loans is due to increased loan demand from qualified borrowers and reflects stability and economic growth in most of the primary markets which the Company serves. The Company lends primarily to small and medium sized businesses and consumers within its markets, which are comprised principally of Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Southern Santa Clara counties. A majority of the Company's loan portfolio consists of loans secured by commercial, industrial and residential real estate. Quality of Loans The composition of non-performing loans as of March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996, and March 31, 1996 is summarized in the following table. Nonperforming Loans (Dollars in Thousands) March 31, December 31, March 31, 1997 1996 1996 Accruing loans past due 90 days or more: Commercial $ 50 $ 15 $ 180 Consumer 41 2 - Real Estate 671 - 397 Total $762 $ 17 $ 577 Nonaccrual loans: Commercial 418 507 831 Consumer 113 142 127 Real Estate 1,019 915 1,624 Total $1,550 $1,564 $2,582 Total Nonperforming Loans $2,312 $1,581 $3,159 Nonperforming Loans To Total Loans 0.58% 0.41% 1.02% Allowance For Possible Loan Losses To Total Non Performing Loans 168.99% 232.26% 122.16% The Company does not expect to sustain losses from any of the non- performing loans in excess of that specifically provided for in the allowance for possible loan losses. Currently, the Company's level of non- performing loans to total loans is below that of peer banks. In addition to the above, the Company holds three Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) properties, which aggregate $1,698,000. In all cases, the amount recorded represents the lesser of the loan balance or current fair value obtained from a current appraisal less anticipated selling costs; therefore, any identified loss has already been recognized. Inherent in the lending function is the fact that loan losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with the type of loan extended and the creditworthiness of the borrower. To reflect the estimated risks of loss associated with its loan portfolio, additions are made to the Company's allowance for possible loan losses. As an integral part of this process, the allowance for possible loan losses is subject to review and possible adjustment as a result of management's assessment of risk or regulatory examinations conducted by governmental agencies. The Company's entire allowance is a valuation allocation created by direct charges against operations through the provision for possible loan losses. The provision for possible loan losses charged against operations is based upon the actual net loan losses incurred plus an amount for other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve recognition in estimating possible loan losses. The Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for possible loan losses on a quarterly basis. The Company has also contracted with an independent loan review consulting firm to evaluate overall credit quality and the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses. Both internal and external evaluations take into account the following: specific loan conditions as determined by management; the historical relationship between charge-offs and the level of the allowance; the estimated future loss in all significant loans; known deterioration in concentrations of credit, certain classes of loans or pledged collateral; historical loss experience based on volume and types of loans; the results of any independent review or evaluation of the loan portfolio quality conducted by or at the direction of Company management or by bank regulatory agencies; trends in portfolio volume, maturity and composition; off-balance sheet credit risk; volume and trends in delinquencies and nonaccruals; lending policies and procedures including those for charge- off, collection and recovery; national and local economic conditions and their effects on specific local industries; and the experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff. These factors are essentially judgmental and may not be reduced to a mathematical formula. The Company closely monitors the local markets in which it conducts its lending activities. The overall increase in loan demand from qualified borrowers during the past year is indicative of the strength in the local economic climate. The table set forth below summarizes the actual loan losses and provision for possible losses for the periods ended March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996, and March 31, 1996: Loan Charge-Off/Recovery Activity (Dollars in Thousands) Three months Year Three months Ended Ended Ended March 31, 1997 December 31,1996 March 31, 1996 Total Loans Outstanding $396,835 $388,728 $307,891 Average Loans $394,426 $332,421 $304,832 Allowance Balance: Beginning Of Period 3,672 3,710 3,710 Charge-Offs By Loan Category: Commercial 53 761 - Consumer - 188 53 Real Estate 31 121 - Other 4 - - Total $ 88 $ 1,070 $ 53 Recoveries By Loan Category: Commercial 32 239 36 Consumer 1 91 49 Real Estate 2 17 12 Other 3 - - Total $ 38 $ 347 $ 97 Net Charge-Offs (Recoveries)$ 50 $ 723 $ (44) Provision Charged To Expense $285 $685 $105 Allowance Balance End Of Period $ 3,907 $ 3,672 $ 3,859 Allowance For Possible Loan Losses To Total Loans 0.98% 0.94% 1.25% Annualized Net Charge-offs (Recoveries) to Average Loans0.05% 0.22% (0.06%) The provision for possible loan losses charged against earnings is based upon an analysis of the actual migration of loans to losses plus an amount for other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve recognition in estimating possible loan losses. While these factors cannot be reduced to a mathematical formula, it is management's view that the allowance for possible loan losses of $3,907,000 or .98% of total loans was adequate as of March 31, 1997. Results of Operations Three months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared with Three months Ended March 31, 1996 Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $2,242,000, an increase of $441,000 or 24.5% as compared to the same 1996 period. The increase in net income for the period was due primarily to an increase in net interest income of $937,000 partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $180,000. In addition, other income increased by $23,000 over the comparable period in 1996. The increase in net interest income is due to growth in average total loans of $89,594,000 partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $67,054,000 compared to the same 1996 period. The average balance of interest earning assets during the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $558,107,000, a $77,778,000 or 16.2% increase over the comparable 1996 period. The Company's average yield on earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 1997 remained static at 8.7%. Total interest income increased $1,698,000 or 16.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same 1996 period due to an increase in average interest earning assets of $77,778,000. Average deposits for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $548,434,000, an $80,800,000 or 17.3% increase compared to the period ended March 31, 1996. The Company's average cost of funds for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was 3.6% which yielded a net interest margin of 5.9%. This compares to an average cost of funds of 3.4% and a net interest margin of 6.0% for the comparable 1996 period. Interest expense of $3,862,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $761,000 or 24.5% over the comparable 1996 period due to an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $67,054,000 and an increase in the Company's cost of funds of 0.2%. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased $937,000 or 13.0%. The Company made a provision to the allowance for possible loan loss of $285,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997. The provision was made based on the recent growth within the loan portfolio. An analysis of the loan portfolio completed by the Company indicates that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate based on the Company's calculated provision requirements. Total loans charged-off net of recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 1997 amounted to $50,000 compared to a net recovery of $44,000 for the same period in 1996. Annualized net loan charge-offs (recoveries) as a percentage of average loans for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was 0.05% compared to (0.06%) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and .22% for the year ended December 31, 1996. Total other income was $805,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a $23,000 or 2.9% increase compared to the comparable period in 1996. Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $55,000 or 9.7% over the comparable period in 1996. Gain on sale of investment securities decreased by $12,000 and other income decreased $18,000 from one year ago. Salaries and benefits expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $2,747,000, a $3,000 or 0.1% decrease from the comparable 1996 period. This variance resulted primarily from the reduction in officers and staff associated with the merger offset by normal salary and benefit increases. The Company employed 258 full time equivalent employees at March 31, 1997 compared to 259 full time equivalent employees at December 31, 1996 and 252 full time equivalent employees at March 31, 1996. Total other expenses, excluding salaries and benefits, for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was $2,213,000, a $52,000 or 2.4% increase from the comparable 1996 period. This was primarily due to an increase in stationery and supplies expense of $119,000 due to increased orders of printed forms for statements and various mailings. In addition, occupancy expense increased by $55,000, or 10.8% due to normal rental rate increases from year to year. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in equipment expense associated with data processing costs which were targeted for significant cost savings from the merger through systems consolidation. Applicable income taxes of $1,442,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $290,000, or 25.2% more than the comparable 1996 period. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was 39.1% compared to 39.0% for the same period in 1996. Liquidity Management Liquidity represents the ability of the Company to meet the requirements of customer borrowing needs as well as fluctuations in deposit flows. The Company manages its liquidity primarily by maintaining investments in overnight Fed Funds, money market mutual funds, available-for-sale securities, and by maintaining lines of credit with correspondent banks. At March 31, 1997 the total of cash and due from banks, overnight Fed Funds, money market mutual funds, and available-for-sale securities represented $209,031,000 or 36.4% of total deposits compared to $192,773,000 or 35.2% at year end 1996. This increase in liquid assets for the three months ended March 31, 1997 resulted primarily from an increase in deposits which were invested in Fed Funds sold and short term investments. In the opinion of management, there are sufficient resources to meet the liquidity needs of the Company at present and projected future levels. Capital Resources Capital management is a continuous process of providing adequate capital for current needs and anticipated future growth. Capital serves as a source of funds for the acquisition of fixed and other assets and protects depositors against potential losses. As the Company's assets increase, so do its capital requirements. The Company and the Subsidiary Banks are subject to Federal Reserve Board guidelines and regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency ("Comptroller"), respectively, governing capital adequacy. The Federal Reserve Board has established final risk-based and leverage capital guidelines for bank holding companies which are the same as the Comptroller's capital regulations for national banks. The Federal Reserve Board capital guidelines for bank holding companies and the Comptroller's regulations for national banks set total capital requirements and define capital in terms of "core capital elements" (comprising Tier 1 capital) and "supplemental capital elements" (comprising Tier 2 capital). Tier 1 capital is generally defined as the sum of the core capital elements less goodwill. The following items are defined as core capital elements: common stockholders' equity, qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Supplementary capital elements include: allowance for loan and lease losses (which cannot exceed 1.25% of an institution's risk weighted assets), perpetual preferred stock not qualifying as core capital, hybrid capital instruments and mandatory convertible debt instruments, and term subordinated debt and intermediate- term preferred stock. The maximum amount of supplemental capital elements which qualifies as Tier 2 capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital, net of goodwill. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk- weighted assets, including both on and off-balance sheet exposures, which are multiplied by certain risk weights assigned by the Federal Reserve Board to those assets. Both bank holding companies and national banks are required to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk- weighted assets of 8%, at least one-half of which must be in the form of Tier 1 capital. There are presently four risk-weight categories: 0% for cash and unconditionally guaranteed government securities; 20% for conditionally guaranteed government securities; 50% for performing residential real estate loans secured by first liens; and 100% for commercial loans. The Federal Reserve Board and the Comptroller also have established a minimum leverage ratio of 3% Tier I capital to total assets for bank holding companies and national banks that have received the highest composite regulatory rating and are not anticipating or experiencing any significant growth. All other institutions will be required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the 3% minimum. The following tables show the Company's risk-based and leverage capital ratios as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. The Company's capital ratios significantly exceeded the minimum capital levels required by current federal regulations. Management believes that the Company will continue to meet the respective minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future.

Federal laws also impose restrictions upon the amount of loans or advances that the Subsidiary Banks may extend to the Company. In management's opinion, these do not affect the ability of the Company to meet its cash obligations.
