NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for quarterly reporting
and therefore does not necessarily include all information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. This information should be read
in conjunction with the Company's Form 10K filed on March 30, 1999 (file number
- - 000-23257).
The consolidated financial statements include BYL Bancorp and its wholly owned
subsidiary, BYL Bank Group (the "Bank").
Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
operating results for an entire fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the
unaudited financial information for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals and provisions, necessary for a fair presentation thereof.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share." Accordingly, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share
also considers the number of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of
outstanding common stock options. All earnings per common share amounts
presented have been restated in accordance with the provisions of this
statement.
NOTE 3 - SEGMENTS
The Company has two primary reportable segments: its wholesale lending
operations and its retail banking operations. The wholesale lending segment
originates loans for resale to institutional investors. The Company's SBA loan
Division and its Mortgage Loan Division's are included in this segment. The
retail banking segment accepts deposits, originates loans and provides other
banking services to the communities in which its eight branch offices are
located.
The company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before
allocation of the provision for loan losses, administrative costs, amortization
of goodwill and income taxes. The retail segment charges the wholesale segments
for use of excess funds based on the estimated cost of outside financing.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BYL Bancorp (the "Company") has one wholly owned subsidiary, BYL Bank Group,
formerly the Bank of Yorba Linda (the "Bank"). The Bank's SBA loan division and
a Mortgage Loan Division operate under the name of Bank of Yorba Linda. The
Bank's operations are the only significant operations of the Company. The
accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Statements contained in this Report on Form 10Q that are not purely historical
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
including statements regarding the Company's expectations, intentions, beliefs
or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in
this document are based on information available to the Company on the date
thereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such
forward-looking statements. It is important to note that the Company's actual
results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such
forward-looking statements are included in the discussions below.
ACQUISITIONS
On May 29, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition with DNB Financial
("DNBF"), parent company of De Anza National Bank on a pooling-of-interests
basis, and, accordingly, the Company's historical consolidated results have been
restated. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, each
share of DNBF Common Stock was exchanged for 4.12 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. A total of 956,641 shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued to
DNBF shareholders. Also, on May 29, 1998, De Anza National Bank, DNBF's only
subsidiary, merged with and into BYL Bank Group.
On June 13, 1996, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Bank
of Westminster (BOW) for $6,174,000 in cash. BOW had total assets of
approximately $54,923,000. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
16. "Business Combinations". Under this method of accounting, the purchase price
was allocated to the assets acquired and deposits and liabilities assumed based
on their fair values as of the acquisition date. The financial statements
include the operations of BOW from the date of the acquisition. Goodwill arising
from the transaction totaled approximately $1,717,000 and is being amortized
over fifteen years on a straight-line basis.
OVERVIEW
For the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company reported net income
of $1,043,000, or $0.41 per share compared to a net income of $1,383,000, or
$0.52 per share for the same three month period in 1998.
For the first nine months of 1999, the Company reported net income of $2.2
million compared to $2.8 million in 1998. The annualized return on average
assets was .85% for 1999 compared to 1.41% in 1998. Annualized return on
shareholders equity was 10.57% in 1999 compared to 15.80% in 1998.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets as of September 30, 1999, increased 15.63% to $367.7 million in
comparison to total assets of $318.0 million as of December 31, 1998. The
majority of this asset growth was centered in loans held for sale, which
increased, by $30 million. This growth was funded by a $49.8 million increase in
deposits.
ASSET QUALITY
The following table sets forth the components of non-performing assets and
related ratios: (dollar amounts in thousands)

of Nonperforming Loans 96.07% 134.11% 113.30%
Nonperforming Assets as a Percent
of Total Assets 0.92% 1.11% 0.94%
The Company's asset quality has remained the same in 1999 as evidenced by a
decrease in the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans which decreased to
.98% at September 30, 1999 from 1.23% at December 31, 1998. Conversely, the
allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming loans decreased to
96.07% at September 30, 1999, down from 113.30% at December 31, 1998. A portion
of this decrease is due to the increase in nonaccrual loans. The ALLL at
September 30, 1999 was 1.55% of total loans compared to 1.38% at December 31,
1998. At September 30, 1999, the Company had nine properties of OREO with a
total book value of $744,000. The Company believes all properties will be
liquidated without any significant losses.
LIQUIDITY
The origination and sale of its wholesale loan products impact the Bank's
liquidity significantly. The loan to deposit ratio at September 30, 1999 was
79.9%. Had the Bank actually sold all of the loans it held for sale, this ratio
would have declined to 48.7%.
10
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total shareholders equity at September 30, 1999 totaled $28.5 million,
which represents a 6.0% increase from $26.8 million at December 31, 1998.
The Company and its bank subsidiary are subject to risk-based capital
regulations adopted by the federal banking regulators. These guidelines are used
to evaluate capital adequacy and are based upon an institution's risk profile
and off-balance sheet exposures, such as unused loan commitments and letters of
credit. BYL Bancorp maintains capital ratios above the Federal regulatory
guidelines for a "well-capitalized" bank. The ratios are as follows:
September 30, December 31,
Ratio 1999 1998
--------------- ---------------- ---------------
Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets) 4.00% 7.34% 7.90%
Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) 4.00% 9.61% 10.00%
Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) 8.00% 10.55% 10.94%
Management is not aware of any trends, events, uncertainties or recommendations
by regulatory authorities that will have or that are likely to have material
effects on the liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company.
ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN
Net interest income is the amount by which the interest and amortization of fees
generated from loans and other earning assets exceeds the cost of funding those
assets, usually deposit account interest expense. Net interest income depends on
the difference (the "interest rate spread") between gross interest and fees
earned on the loans and investment portfolios and the interest rates paid on
deposits and borrowings. Net interest income was $4.14 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999, compared to $4.08 for the quarter ended September 30,
1998 and $11.71 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to
$11.51 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

Net Interest Margin 5.69% 6.64% 5.38% 6.56% 6.40%
The net interest margin declined in 1999 compared to the same periods in 1998
due to the increase in lower yielding earning assets and the 75 basis point
decline in the prime rate during the fourth quarter of 1998. The prime rate was
8.50% for the first nine months of 1998, and then experienced 25 basis points
declines in September, October and November to end the year at 7.75%. The prime
rate increased 25 basis points in July and August 1999 to 8.25%.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
BYL Bancorp made a $130,000 and $361,000 contribution to the allowance for loan
losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to
$240,000 and $780,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Management believes that the allowance, which equals 1.55% of total loans at
September 30, 1999, is adequate to cover future losses.
Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are as follows (dollar amounts in

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income was $6.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999
compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 1998. Similarly for the first
nine months of 1999, noninterest income was $18.0 million compared to $16.4
million for the same period in 1998. Approximately $1 million of this
increase is attributable to the securitizaton of approximately $47.1 million
of commercial loans. The remainder is attributable to the expansion of the
Bank's wholesale loan divisions. These departments have expanded by adding
new products as well as entering new geographic markets.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $9.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999
and $25.5 million for the first nine months of 1999 compared to $7.4 million and
$22.0 million for the same periods in 1998. The majority of the increases were
attributable to the expansion of the Bank's wholesale loan divisions.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
MARKET RISK
In Management's opinion there has not been a material change in BYL Bancorp's
market risk profile during the three months ended September 30, 1999. Market
risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes
in market prices and rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices
and equity prices. BYL Bancorp's market risk arises primarily from interest rate
risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities and market risk in
loans originated for sale as a result of changes in interest rates. To that end,
management actively monitors and manages its inherent rate risk exposure. BYL
Bancorp manages its interest rate sensitivity by matching the repricing
opportunities on its earning assets to those on its funding liabilities.
Management uses various asset/liability strategies to manage the repricing
characteristics of its assets and liabilities to ensure that exposure to
interest rate fluctuations is limited within BYL Bancorp's guidelines of
acceptable levels of risk-taking.
At September 30, 1999, BYL Bancorp had $269 million of assets and $263 million
of liabilities repricing within one year. Therefore, $6 million more in interest
rate sensitive assets than interest rate sensitive liabilities will change to
the then current rate (changes occur due to the instruments being at a variable
rate or because the maturity of the instrument requires its replacement at the
then current rate). Generally, if rates were to fall during this period,
interest income would decline by a greater amount than interest expense and net
income would decrease. Conversely, if rates were to rise, the reverse would
apply, and BYL Bancorp's net income would increase.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK -
CONTINUED
YEAR 2000 RISK
OVERVIEW
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather that four to define the applicable year. As a result,
date-sensitive software and/or hardware may recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000.
This could result in a system failure or other disruption of operations and
impede normal business activities. In June 1996, the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") alerted the banking industry of the
serious challenges that would be encountered with Year 2000 issues. The FDIC has
also implemented a plan to require compliance with Year 2000 issues and
regularly examines out progress.
STATE OF READINESS
In accordance with FDIC guidelines, the Company developed a comprehensive plan
which management believes will result in timely and adequate modifications of
the Company's systems and technology to address Year 2000 issues. The plan calls
for all system conversions and testing to be substantially completed by December
31, 1999. Management has completed a top-down assessment of all mission-critical
and other systems for Year 2000 compliance and are currently in the fifth and
final phase for compliance, "final preparation and follow-up", as defined by the
FFIEC. Management has also tested non-information technology systems, such as
microprocessors controlling environmental and alarm systems, and found them to
be Year 2000 compliant.
To determine the readiness of the Company's clients, management sent a
questionnaire to, and received responses from, significant borrowers and
depositors to determine the extent of risk created by any failure by them to
remediate their own Year 2000 issues. Each borrower and depositor is categorized
according to their state of readiness based on their response to the
questionnaire and a review of the client. The Company has also taken steps to
ensure liquidity for depositors with high Year 2000 risks. Re-assessment of each
client's risk will be made on a regular basis.
To determine the readiness of the Company's vendors, letters were sent to each
vendor inquiring about their compliance with Year 2000. For those vendors that
have responded that they are Year 2000 compliant and that were determined to not
have a material impact on the Bank's operations, no further work is performed.
For those vendors that have responded they are working towards Year 2000
compliance and that are determined to be significant, including mission critical
vendors, the Company will follow up on a regular basis through 1999. These
vendors have advised the Company that they expect to be Year 2000 compliant
prior to December 31, 1999. If those vendors do not demonstrate compliance by a
certain date, the Company will seek other alternatives in accordance with its
contingency plan, which may include seeking replacement vendors.

YEAR 2000 RISK - CONTINUED
COSTS AND RISKS
A few computer hardware and software applications were modified or replaced in
order to maintain their functionality as the year 2000 approaches. The Company
has spent approximately $41,000 as of September 30, 1999 to address Year 2000
issues and estimate total costs over the two year period 1999-2000 to be
approximately $101,000, which will come from general funds. None of these costs,
however, are expected to materially impact the Company's result of operations in
any one reporting period.
Ultimately, the potential impact of the Year 2000 issue will depend not only on
the corrective measures the Company undertakes, but also on the way in which the
Year 2000 issue is addressed by governmental agencies, businesses, and other
entities who provide data, receive data, or whose financial condition or
operational capability is important to the Company, such as suppliers or
clients. At worst, clients and vendors will face severe Year 2000 issues, which
may cause borrowers to become unable to service their loans. The Company may
also be required to replace non-compliant vendors with more expensive Year
2000-compliant vendors. At this time management cannot determine the financial
effect if significant client and/or vendor remediation efforts are not resolved
in a timely manner.
