                          MONTEREY BAY BANCORP, INC.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim
financial information. Accordingly, the adequacy of the disclosure contained
herein has been determined with the presumption that the users of these interim
financial statements have read or have access to the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Only material changes in
financial condition and results of operations are discussed in the remainder of
Part I of this Quarterly Report.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated
financial condition at June 30, 1996, and the results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, and cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. Results of operations for any interim period
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for
any other interim period or for the entire year.

     Effective December 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 122 ("SFAS 122"), Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights. SFAS 122 allows financial institutions that originate mortgages and sell
them into the secondary market to recognize the retained right to service the
loans. This rule amends SFAS 65, which permitted only purchased mortgage
servicing rights to be recognized as an asset. SFAS 122 makes no distinction
between purchased and originated mortgage servicing rights. The adoption of SFAS
122 has not had a material impact on the Company's operations.

     Effective January 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP")
94-6, Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties, issued by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in December 1994. SOP 94-6
supplements disclosure requirements for risks and uncertainties existing as of
the date of the financial statements in the following areas: (a) nature of
operations, (b) use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements, (c)
certain significant estimates and (d) current vulnerability due to certain
concentrations.

     Effective January 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." SFAS 121
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. However, SFAS 121 does not apply to financial
instruments, core deposit intangibles, mortgage and other servicing rights or
deferred tax assets. Adoption of this statement has not had a material impact on
the Company's operations.

                                       6

 
     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation which establishes accounting and disclosure requirements
using a fair value based method of accounting for stock based employee
compensation plans. Under SFAS 123, beginning in 1996 the Company may either
adopt the new fair value based accounting method or continue the intrinsic value
based method and provide pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the
accounting provisions of SFAS 123 had been adopted. The Company has adopted only
the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123; therefore, such adoption will have no
effect on the Company's consolidated net earnings or cash flows.

     In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenses for
the periods covered. Actual results could differ significantly from those
estimates and assumptions.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          -------------------------------------------------------------
          AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
          ----------------------- 

          On February 14, 1995, Watsonville Federal Savings and Loan Association
(the "Association") converted from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan
association to a federally chartered stock savings and loan association.
Monterey Bay Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was formed for the purpose of
becoming a savings association holding company and acquiring all of the capital
stock of the Association. On February 15, 1995, the Company began trading on the
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MBBC." All amounts prior to the
completion of the conversion relate to the Association.

          The Association is a community-oriented savings institution which
attracts deposits from the general public in the areas in which its branches are
located and invests such deposits and other available funds primarily in
mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residences. To a lesser extent, the
Association invests in commercial real estate, construction, land and other
loans. At June 30, 1996 the Association operated six branch offices located in
Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Santa Clara counties, and one real estate loan office.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The Company recorded net income of $768,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, compared to $404,000 for the same period last year. Net income
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $449,000, compared to $34,000 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Included in net income for the six months and
quarter ended June 30, 1995 is a loss of $149,000 (net of income taxes of
$110,000) resulting from the sale of mortgage backed securities.

          Fully diluted earnings per share were $.24 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, compared to $.08 for the similar period in 1995. For the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, fully diluted earnings per share were $.14, compared to
$.01 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. The earnings per share computation for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 is based on earnings from February 14, 1995,
the date of the completion of the conversion of the association.

          The improvement in earnings, exclusive of the non-recurring item noted
above, in the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same
periods last year, reflects higher net interest income and increased revenue
from customer service charges and mortgage loan servicing income in 1996.

Net Interest Income

          A primary component of the Company's ongoing profitability is net
interest income, which represents the difference between interest and dividend
income on interest earning assets (principally loans and investment securities)
and the interest expense, or cost of funds, on interest bearing liabilities
(principally deposits and, to a lesser extent, federal home loan bank (FHLB)
advances and reverse repurchase agreements). The Company's net interest

                                       8

 
income and net interest margin, which is defined as net interest income divided
by average interest earning assets, are affected by the general interest rate
environment, asset growth, asset and liability composition, and nonaccrual
loans.

          Net interest income before provision for loan losses rose 9.5% from
$4.1 million for the first six months of 1995 to $4.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, net interest income
before provision for loan losses was $2.3 million, an increase of 13.0% from
$2.0 million recorded in the second quarter of 1995. The increases were
primarily due to higher yields on mortgage loans, and reduced deposit rates and
borrowing costs reflective of a more favorable interest rate environment.

          Total interest income increased 4.5% to $11.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 from $11.0 million for the first six months of 1995.
For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, total interest income was $5.7 million,
compared to $5.5 million for the second quarter of 1995. The upward repricing of
a portion of the Association's portfolio of adjustable rate mortgage loans was
partially responsible for this increase. In addition, interest income from
mortgage backed securities increased substantially in 1996 due to management's
decision, in 1995, to leverage the balance sheet through the purchase of
mortgage backed securities funded by borrowings. This strategy resulted in a
volume-related increase of $745,000 in interest income for the first six months
of 1996 compared to the similar period a year ago.

          Increases and decreases to nonaccrual loan levels did not
significantly affect interest income during the six months and three months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 because the ratio of average nonaccrual loans to
average loans remained relatively stable during the related periods.

          The Company recorded total interest expense of $7.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996, slightly higher than $6.9 million recorded for
the similar period in 1995. Total interest expense declined 4.5% to $3.4 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, from $3.5 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1995. This reduction was primarily due to a relatively stable market
interest rate environment which allowed management to lower interest rates paid
to its customers while retaining and rolling over a majority of the maturing
funds. During the second quarter of 1996, $51.1 million of the Association's
high-cost certificate of deposit accounts matured, representing approximately
19% of the Company's total interest bearing liabilities. The subsequent renewal
of the majority of these deposits at lower current market interest rates
resulted in reduced interest expense and a decline in the Company's cost of
funds for the second quarter of 1996.

          The changes in net interest income for the six months and quarter
ended June 30, 1996 compared with the corresponding period in 1995 are analyzed
in the following table. The table shows the changes by major component, setting
forth changes attributable to changes in volume, changes attributable to changes
in interest rates and the net effect of both (in thousands):

          The Company's net interest margin increased to 3.02% for the second
quarter of 1996 compared with 2.68% for the second quarter of 1995.  For the six
months and quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company's net interest rate spread
increased to 2.28% and 2.40%, respectively, from 1.95% and 1.86% for the
comparable periods ended June 30, 1995.  The Company's net interest margin
improved during the first half of 1996 due to a decline in the Company's cost of
funds and an increase in the yield on interest earning assets.

          For the six months ended June 30, 1996, Company's yield on interest
earning assets was 7.39%, up from 7.17% obtained in the six months ended June
30, 1995, primarily due to increased yields on loans receivable.

          For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's net cost of
interest bearing liabilities was 5.11%, compared to 5.22% for the same period a
year ago, due to decreases in the cost of deposits and borrowings. In the third
quarter of 1996, a high percentage of the Association's remaining higher-costing
certificate of deposit accounts will mature, and, based on current and
anticipated trends in market interest rates, are expected to renew at lower
rates. During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Association's cost of
certificate of deposit accounts due to maturing and renewing certificates of
deposit.

          The Company's cost of borrowings decreased to 5.78% and 5.75%,
respectively, for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1996, from 6.07% and
6.06%, respectively, for the similar periods in 1995. The cost of borrowings
trended down for the third consecutive quarter in response to declines in market
interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk And Sensitivity

          The sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes is often measured
by the difference, or gap, between the amount of assets and liabilities
scheduled to reprice within the same time period expressed as a percentage of
assets. Generally, the lower the amount of this gap, the less sensitive are an
institution's earnings to interest rate changes. A positive gap means an excess
of assets over liabilities repricing during the same period. The Company's gap
position at June 30, 1996 is summarized as follows:

 
 
                                          MATURITY/RATE SENSITIVITY

Provision for Loan Losses

     The Association establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged
to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level
which is deemed to be appropriate based upon an assessment of prior loss
experience, the volume and type of lending presently conducted by the
Association, industry standards, past due loans, economic conditions in the
Association's market area generally and other factors related to the
collectibility of the Association's loan portfolio. The provision for loan
losses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $22,000 compared to $105,000
for the corresponding period during 1995. The provision for loan losses for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995 was $65,000; the Company did not record a provision
for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The provision resulted in a
total allowance for loan losses of $1,348,000 or .59% of total loans at June 30,
1996, compared to an allowance for loan losses of $1,362,000, or .59% of total
loans, at December 31, 1995. Nonperforming assets, consisting of nonaccrual
loans and real estate owned, declined to $1.6 million, or .68% of total loans at
June 30, 1996, compared to $3.2 million, or 1.40% of total loans at December 31,
1995. (see "-Financial Condition.") At June 30, the Association had $125,000 of
real estate owned consisting of one property acquired through foreclosure during
the first quarter of 1996.

Noninterest Income

     Noninterest income increased to $394,000 and $234,000, respectively, for
the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1996, from $155,000 and a negative
$119,000 for the similar periods in 1995. Included in noninterest income for the
six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 is a loss of $259,000 resulting from
the sale of mortgage backed securities in the second quarter of 1995. The
Company recorded a $70,000 gain on the sale of mortgage backed securities during
the six months ended June 30, 1996.

      Commissions from annuity sales declined from $221,000 for the first six
months of 1995 to $83,000 for the same period in 1996 due to a significant
decline in annuity sales and several write-offs of customer receivables recorded
by Portola Investment Corporation. Portola, a California corporation wholly
owned by the Association, is currently engaged on an agency basis in the sale of
insurance, mutual funds and annuity products primarily to the Association's
customers and members of the local community. Management plans to pursue an
active marketing campaign to increase sales during the remainder of 1996.

     For the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1996, customer service
charges amounted to $176,000 and $94,000, respectively, compared to $146,000 and
$75,000 for the corresponding periods a year earlier. This reflects an increase
in customer service fees, primarily overdraft charges, enacted during the third
quarter of 1995, and a significant increase in the number of transaction-related
customer deposit accounts during 1996.

General and Administrative Expenses

     General and administrative expenses were $3.6 million and $1.8 million,
respectively, for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1996, approximately
unchanged from $3.5 million and $1.8 million recorded for the six months and
quarter ended June 30, 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets of the Company were $317.3 million at June 30, 1996, compared
to $329.8 million at December 31, 1995, a decrease of $12.4 million or 3.8%. The
decline in total assets was primarily due to principal repayments on mortgage
backed securities and the sale of $8.5 million of mortgage backed securities
during the first quarter of 1996.

     Loans receivable were $228.7 million, or 72.1% of the Company's total
assets, at June 30, 1996. Substantially all of the Company's loans are secured
by real estate. At June 30, 1996, the loan portfolio was composed of 62%
adjustable rate and 38% fixed rate loans, approximately unchanged from December
31, 1995. The Company's loan growth continues to be primarily in one- to four-
family mortgage loans, which represented 82% of the loan portfolio at June 30,
1996. The Company originated $18.0 million of loans during the six months ended
June 30, 1996, primarily adjustable rate loans to be held for investment.

     At June 30, 1996, nonperforming assets were $1.6 million, or 49% of total
assets, compared to $3.2 million, or .97% of assets at December 31, 1995.
Nonaccrual loans, consisting of all loans delinquent 90 days or more, totaled
$1.4 million, or .62% of total loans receivable. At June 30, 1996, the Company
had one foreclosed property representing real estate owned totaling $125,000.
The Association's nonperforming loans are secured primarily by one-to four-
family residences located in the Association's primary market area. At June 30,
1996, the Company had four restructured loans totaling $379,000, all performing
in accordance with their contractual terms.

     The Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require all institutions to
classify their problem assets in one of three categories, substandard, doubtful,
and loss, and provide specific or general valuation allowances when necessary
and appropriate. (Assets that do not warrant classification but deserve special
attention are designated as "special mention" or "watch" and require no
valuation allowances.) Management monitors the Association's assets regularly
and classifies any problem assets. The Association's classified assets consist
of foreclosed residential properties, nonperforming assets, and assets that are
performing in accordance with their contractual terms but are classified as
substandard because they exhibit one or more well-defined weaknesses. The
following schedule presents the Association's classified assets at June 30, 1996
and December 31, 1995 (in thousands):



                                                  JUNE 30, 1996          DECEMBER 31, 1995

                                      14

 
     At June 30, assets classified as substandard included $1.4 million of loans
past due 90 days or more, $1.4 million of performing loans on property with
delinquent real estate taxes, and $1.3 million of loans less than 90 days
delinquent but identified as having risk characteristics indicating that the
collection of interest and/or principal may not occur under the contractual
terms of the loan agreements. At December 31, 1995, substandard loans included
$1.5 million of loans past due 90 days or more, $2.8 million of performing loans
on property with delinquent real estate taxes, and $1.6 million of performing
loans with identified risk characteristics.

     The Association's investment in FHLB stock increased slightly during the
three months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.8 million from $2.5 million at December
31, 1995. The increase was due to the purchase of stock pursuant to a statutory
provision requiring the Association, as a member of the FHLB system, to invest
in stock of the FHLB of San Francisco, in an amount equal to 1% of its net
outstanding home loans or 5% of its outstanding advances from the FHLB,
whichever is higher.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's liabilities
decreased to $270.5 million at June 30, 1996 from $282.2 million at December 31,
1995. The decrease in liabilities was attributable to decreases in borrowings,
from $63.9 million at December 31, 1995 to $49.6 million at June 30, 1996. The
Company repaid $10.9 million of FHLB advances and $3.4 million of reverse
repurchase agreements during the first six months of 1996, partially due to cash
inflows into savings deposit accounts. In addition, the Association used
proceeds from the sale of mortgage backed securities to pay down borrowings. The
Company utilizes FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements as part of its
asset and liability management objectives.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996, savings deposits grew to $219.1
million, a $3.8 million or 1.8% increase from December 31, 1995. The deposit
growth consisted primarily of increases in low-cost checking and money market
accounts. The Company's management continues to pursue its strategy of
increasing low cost transaction accounts (consisting of checking, passbook, and
money market accounts) by actively marketing those accounts.

     At June 30, 1996, shareholders' equity was $46.8 million, compared to $47.6
million at December 31, 1995. Equity was reduced by $1.3 million due to
repurchases of the Company's outstanding common stock pursuant to a previously
announced stock repurchase program. Unrealized losses on securities available
for sale at June 30, 1996, compared to unrealized gains at December 31, 1995,
resulted in a decrease of $433,000 in equity. Tangible book value per share of
Monterey Bay Bancorp, Inc. common stock was $15.12 at June 30, 1996, compared to
$14.88 at December 31, 1995.

     Deposits of the Association are presently insured by the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Both the SAIF and Banking Insurance Fund
("BIF") are statutorily required to be recapitalized to 1.25% of insured reserve
deposits ratio. Until recently, members of the SAIF and Banking Insurance Fund
("BIF") were paying average deposit insurance premiums of between 24 and 25
basis points. During the second half of 1995, the BIF met the required reserve
ratio, and the FDIC adopted a new BIF assessment rate which,


                                      15

 
beginning in 1996, allowed most BIF members to pay a statutory minimum
semiannual assessment of $1,000. The existing assessment rate schedule
applicable to SAIF member institutions is 23 to 31 basis points.

     Legislative initiatives regarding the recapitalization of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), deposit insurance premiums, FICO bond
interest payments, the merger of SAIF and BIF, financial industry regulatory
structure, and revision of thrift and bank charters are still
pending before Congress. Management cannot predict the ultimate impact any final
legislation or regulatory actions may have on the operations of the Company.
Without passage of legislation addressing the FDIC insurance premium disparity,
the Association, like other thrifts, will continue to pay deposit insurance
premiums significantly higher than banks. As long as such premium differential
continues, it may have adverse consequences on the Company's earnings and the
Company may be placed at a substantial competitive disadvantage to commercial
banking organizations insured by the BIF.
     
     The Association paid SAIF deposit insurance premiums of $276,000 and
$139,000, respectively, during the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1996,
compared to $280,000 and $124,000, respectively, paid during the similar periods
in 1995. The increase in the second quarter, 1996 compared to the second
quarter, 1995 was primarily due to a higher average balance of savings deposits
in 1996. A significant special assessment to recapitalize the SAIF would likely
have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of
the Association. Based on the Association's estimated deposit insurance
assessment base at December 31, 1995 and an assumed 85 to 90 basis point fee to
recapitalize the SAIF, the special assessment would result in a $1.0 million to
$1.1 million payment on an after-tax basis.

     Legislation regarding bad debt recapture has been passed by Congress and 
sent to the President for signature. The legislation requires recapture of 
reserves accumulated after 1987. The recapture tax on post 1987 reserves must be
paid over a six year period starting in 1996. The payment of the tax can be 
deferred in each of 1996 and 1997 if an institution originates at least the same
average annual principal amount of mortgage loans that it originated in the six 
years prior to 1996. Management has not assessed the impact this legislation
will have on the operations of the Company.

Capital and Regulatory Standards
 
     The following schedule presents the prescribed minimum capital
requirements for the Association at June 30, 1996, the actual amount of capital,
and the amount of excess (dollars in thousands):



                                Minimum         Actual

     The OTS has incorporated an interest rate risk component into its
regulatory capital rule, under which savings associations with "above normal"
interest rate risk exposure would be subject to a deduction from total risk-
based capital. In August 1994, the OTS issued a 
 


                                      16

 
final regulation adding the interest rate risk component to its risk-based
capital standard. Implementation of the final regulation has been delayed. The
delay provides an opportunity to assess any further guidance from other federal
banking agencies regarding their planned implementation of a capital deduction.

     The regulation will require a savings institution to maintain capital in an
amount equal to one-half the difference between the institution's measured
interest rate risk and 2% of the market value of the institution's assets.
Interest rate risk is to be measured on the market value of its assets, based on
a hypothetical 200 basis point change in interest rates. The credit risk
component of the risk-based capital standard will remain unchanged at 8% of 
risk-weighted assets. Institutions with measured interest rate risk less than or
equal to 2% will not be required to maintain additional capital. If the
Association were subject to adding an interest rate risk component to its risk-
based capital standard, management believes that based on the Association's
interest rate risk profile, the Association would continue to substantially
exceed minimum risk-based capital requirements.

     OTS prompt corrective action ("PCA") regulations include five capital tiers
ranging from well-capitalized to critically undercapitalized. Well-capitalized
institutions are not subject to any PCA-related constraints under these
regulations. As the following table shows, under these regulations, the
Association met the definition of a well capitalized institution at June 30,
1996 and December 31, 1995.

Liquidity

     The Association's primary sources of cash flows are savings deposits, loan
repayments and borrowings. The cash needs of the Association are principally
related to loan disbursements, savings withdrawals and noninterest expenses.
The Association's liquidity position refers to the extent to which the
Association's cash flows are sufficient to meet its current and long-term cash
requirements.

     The Association, like other savings associations, is required under
applicable federal regulations to maintain specified levels of "liquid"
investments in qualifying types of United States Treasury and federal agency
securities and other investments, generally having maturities of five years or
less. The OTS has the authority to raise or lower the required liquidity level
in order to promote a stable supply of mortgage credit. Currently, the
regulatory requirement for liquid assets each month is 5% of an institution's
average daily

balance of net withdrawable accounts and certain short-term borrowings during
the preceding calendar quarter. At June 30, 1996, the Association's liquidity
ratio was 5.68%, compared to 5.63% at December 31, 1995.
