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 September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the results of its operations and the statements of cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 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 September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 1997. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting of Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. It does not, however, require a specific format for the statement, but requires the Company to display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the period in that financial statement. The Company is in the process of determining its preferred format. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Statement establishes standards for the way the public business enterprises are to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company does not believe it has any separately reportable business segments. 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 supersedes 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. Statements No. 128 and 129 are effective for financial statements for interim and annual periods ending 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 SFAS No. 128. Three Months Ended September 30, September 30, 1997 1996 Basic Earnings per Share $0.67 $0.44 Diluted Earnings per Share $0.65 $0.41 Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 1997 1996 Basic Earnings per Share $1.87 $1.36 Diluted Earnings per Share $1.81 $1.31 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 Company and their affiliates which at September 30, 1997 amounted to approximately $10,733,000. Note 4 - Commitments The Company had outstanding standby letters of credit of approximately $4,216,000 at September 30, 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, April 22, and July 22, 1997, the Company declared $0.165 per share cash dividends to shareholders of record on March 14, June 16, and September 15, 1997, payable on March 31, June 30, and September 30, 1997, respectively. Note 6 - Taxes As of September 30, 1997, the Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately $3,290,000. 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $7,672,000 or $1.81 per share compared to $5,572,000 or $1.31 per share during the comparable period in 1996. This 37.7% increase in net income is due mainly to a $3,701,000 increase in net interest income. The increase in net interest income is due to growth in average total loans of $83,357,000 partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $70,250,000 as compared to the same 1996 period. Outstanding loans were $406,342,000 at September 30, 1997 compared to $388,728,000 at December 31, 1996, a $17,614,000 or 4.5% increase. The increase in outstanding loans from December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1997 resulted primarily from an increase in real estate loans of $38,649,000, partially offset by a decrease in commercial loans of $13,189,000 and a decrease in other loans of $3,415,000. Federal Funds Sold and Investment Securities at September 30, 1997 were $236,013,000, a $81,686,000 or 52.9% increase from December 31, 1996. This was primarily due to the increase in total deposits which resulted in an increase in investments in Federal Funds and investment securities. The Company's total deposits at September 30, 1997 were $646,796,000 compared to $547,182,000 at December 31, 1996, a $99,614,000 or 18.2% increase. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $26,529,000, interest bearing demand deposits increased $2,141,000 and savings and money market deposit accounts increased $8,571,000 in the first nine months of 1997. Certificates of deposit increased by $62,373,000 or 37.5% during the first nine months of 1997. Management believes that the growth in deposits is a result of the overall strength in the local tourism and agribusiness industries. In addition, growth in housing demand and a small influx of businesses moving into the southern Santa Clara County area have contributed to the Company's deposit growth. Loans Outstanding total loans averaged $410,011,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $326,654,000 for the comparable period in 1996, an increase of $83,357,000, or 25.5%. 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 September 30, 1997 , December 31, 1996, and September 30, 1996 is summarized in the following table. Nonperforming Loans (Dollars in Thousands) September 30, December 31, September 30, 1997 1996 1996 Accruing loans past due 90 days or more: Commercial $ 29 $ 15 $ 30 Consumer 17 2 32 Real Estate - - 606 Total $ 46 $ 17 $ 668 Nonaccrual loans: Commercial 524 507 958 Consumer 111 142 116 Real Estate 1,445 915 1,720 Total $2,080 $1,564 $2,794 Total Nonperforming Loans $2,126 $1,581 $3,462 Nonperforming Loans To Total Loans 0.52% 0.41% 0.97% Allowance For Possible Loan Losses To Total Non Performing Loans 196.05% 232.26% 101.88% 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 one Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) property, which totals $1,213,000. 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 allowance 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 as of and for the periods ended September 30, 1997 , December 31, 1996, and September 30, 1996 : Loan Charge-Off/Recovery Activity (Dollars in Thousands) Nine months Year Nine months Ended Ended Ended September 30, 1997 December 31,1996September 30, 1996 Loans Outstanding, at period end $406,342 $388,728 $358,204 Average Loans $410,011 $332,421 $326,654 Allowance Balance: Beginning Of Period 3,672 3,710 3,710 Charge-Offs By Loan Category: Commercial 357 761 347 Consumer 45 188 158 Real Estate 174 121 56 Total $ 576 $ 1,070 $ 561 Recoveries By Loan Category: Commercial 102 239 107 Consumer 21 91 69 Real Estate 39 17 17 Total $ 162 $ 347 $ 193 Net Charge-Offs $ 414 $ 723 $ 368 Provision Charged To Expense $910 $685 $185 Allowance Balance End Of Period $ 4,168 $ 3,672 $ 3,527 Allowance For Possible Loan Losses To Period End Loans 1.03% 0.94% 0.98% Annualized Net Charge-offs to Average Loans 0.13% 0.22% 0.15% 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 $4,168,000 or 1.03% of total loans was adequate as of September 30, 1997 . Results of Operations Nine months ended September 30, 1997 Compared with Nine months ended September 30, 1996 Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $7,672,000, an increase of $2,100,000 or 37.7% 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 $3,701,000 partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $725,000. The increase in net interest income is due to growth in average total loans of $83,357,000 partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $70,250,000 compared to the same 1996 period. The average balance of interest earning assets during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $591,837,000, an $91,468,000 or 18.3% increase over the comparable 1996 period. The Company's average yield on earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased to 8.7% from 8.6% in the comparable 1996 period. Total interest income increased $6,553,000 or 20.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same 1996 period due to an increase in average interest earning assets of $91,468,000. Average deposits for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $583,973,000, an $94,237,000 or 19.2% increase compared to the same period ended September 30, 1996 . The Company's average cost of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was 3.7% 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 $12,518,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $2,852,000 or 29.5% over the comparable 1996 period due to an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $70,250,000 and an increase in the Company's cost of funds of 0.3%. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased $3,701,000 or 16.5%. The Company made a provision to the allowance for possible loan losses of $910,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 primarily due to the recent growth experienced 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997 amounted to $414,000 compared to $368,000 for the same period in 1996. Annualized net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was 0.13% compared to 0.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 0.22% for the year ended December 31, 1996. Total other income was $2,417,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, a $38,000 or 1.6% increase compared to the same period in 1996. Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $140,000 or 8.1% over the comparable period in 1996. Other income decreased by $94,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. Salaries and benefits expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $8,211,000, a $41,000 or 0.5% decrease from the comparable 1996 period. This variance resulted primarily from the reduction in officers as a result of the merger between South Valley Bancorporation and the Company in 1996. The Company employed 271 full time equivalent employees at September 30, 1997 compared to 259 full time equivalent employees at December 31, 1996 and 248 full time equivalent employees at September 30, 1996 . Total other expenses, excluding salaries and benefits, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 , was $6,746,000, a $458,000 or 6.4% decrease from the comparable 1996 period. This was primarily due to a decrease in equipment expense of $379,000, a decrease in legal and professional expense of $304,000, and a decrease in other expenses of $355,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in occupancy expense of $246,000 and an increase in stationery expense of $223,000. The decrease in equipment expense, legal and professional expense and other expense were a direct result of cost savings which were targeted in the merger between South Valley Bancorporation and the Company. The increase in stationery expense related to one-time ordering of stationery due to the change in the address of the administrative offices of South Valley National Bank. Applicable income taxes of $5,028,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $1,413,000, or 39.1% more than the comparable 1996 period. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was 39.6% compared to 39.4% for the same period in 1996. Three months ended September 30, 1997 Compared with Three months ended September 30, 1996 Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $2,749,000, an increase of $971,000 or 54.6% 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 $1,326,000 partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $334,000. The increase in net interest income is due to growth in average total loans of $69,120,000 partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $75,454,000 compared to the same 1996 period. The average balance of interest earning assets during the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $630,282,000, a $103,806,000 or 19.7% increase over the comparable 1996 period. The Company's average yield on earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased to 8.6% from 8.5% in the comparable 1996 period. Total interest income increased $1,848,000 or 16.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same 1996 period due to an increase in average interest earning assets of $103,806,000. Average deposits for the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 were $622,493,000, a $103,304,000 or 19.9% increase compared to the same period in 1996. The Company's average cost of funds for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was 3.7% which yielded a net interest margin of 5.7%. This compares to an average cost of funds of 3.4% and a net interest margin of 5.9% for the comparable 1996 period. Interest expense of $4,513,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $1,106,000 or 32.4% over the comparable 1996 period due to an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $75,454,000 and an increase in the Company's cost of funds of 0.3%. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997 , the Company made a provision to the allowance for possible loan loss of $340,000. This compares to a provision of $6,000 which was made in the third quarter 1996 and represents an increase of $334,000. Total other income was $813,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, a $33,000 or 4.2% increase compared to the same period in 1996. Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $99,000 or 18.6% and other income decreased by $66,000 or 27.4% from the third quarter of 1997 to the same period in 1996. Salaries and benefits expense for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $2,768,000, a $6,000 or 0.2% increase from the comparable 1996 period. Although the benefits component increased during this period, the overall decrease was due to the reduction in administrative officers as a result of the merger between South Valley Bancorporation and the Company in 1996. Total other expenses, excluding salaries and benefits was $2,265,000, a $556,000 or 19.7% increase from the comparable 1996 period. This was primarily due to a decrease in equipment expense of $166,000, a decrease in legal and professional expense of $283,000, and a decrease in other expenses of $311,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in occupancy expense of $153,000. The decrease in equipment expense, legal and professional expense and other expense were a direct result of cost savings which were targeted in the merger between South Valley Bancorporation and the Company. Applicable income taxes of $1,811,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were $604,000, or 50.0% more than the comparable 1996 period. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was 39.7% compared to 40.4% 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 September 30, 1997, the total of cash and due from banks, overnight fed funds, money market mutual funds, and available-for-sale securities represented $276,873,000 or 42.8% of total deposits compared to $192,773,000 or 35.2% at year end 1996. This increase in liquid assets for the nine months ended September 30, 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 shareholders' 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 tables on the following page show the Company's risk-based and leverage capital ratios as of September 30, 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.
