IMPERIAL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

 
FINANCIAL REVIEW
 
          The following discussion is intended to provide information to
          facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes in
          trends related to the financial condition of Imperial Bancorp (the
          "Company") and its results of operations for the three and six months
          ended June 30, 1996.
 
   PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
 
          Net income for the second quarter rose to $28.7 million, or $1.82 per
          share, from $4.6 million or $0.30 per share, earned in the second
          quarter of 1995. Income as measured by return on average total assets
          was 4.29% for the three months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to
          0.82% for the three months ended June 30, 1995. Return on average
          stockholders' equity was 45.12% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996,
          an increase from the 9.02% return on average stockholders' equity for
          the same period of 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net
          income totaled $35.4 million as compared to $9.3 million for the same
          period of 1995. Return on average assets and stockholders' equity for
          the first half of 1996 was 2.72% and 29.16%, respectively, as compared
          to 0.83% and 9.14%, respectively, from the same period of 1995.
 
          Earnings reported for the second quarter were significantly impacted
          by gains realized from the sale of a portion of the Company's
          investment in Imperial Credit Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ-NMS-ICII). In
          April 1996, the Company sold 1.5 million shares of ICII as a part of
          an offering which included the sale of approximately 2.2 million new
          ICII shares by ICII to the public. An additional 0.5 million shares
          were sold by ICII to the public in May 1996. The Company recorded a
          $25.6 million pre-tax gain on the sale of its ICII shares. After the
          sales of ICII shares, the book value of ICII common stock approximated
          $8.72 per share. As such, the Company recorded a $10.8 million pre-tax
          gain which approximated the excess of ICII's book value per share over
          the book value of the Company's remaining investment in ICII. At June
          30, 1996, the Company's investment in ICII approximated 4.7 million
          shares representing 25% ownership. In addition, the Company realized a
          significant increase in equity in the net earnings of ICII for second
          quarter 1996. In June 1996, ICII completed an offering in which it
          sold approximately 2.0 million shares of its subsidiary Southern
          Pacific Funding Corporation (NYSE-SFC) to the public. In addition to
          the SFC shares sold by ICII, 5.0 million new SFC shares were issued
          and sold to the public. The Company's share of the pre-tax gains
          realized by ICII as a result of this transaction approximated $8.9
          million and is included in "Equity in net earnings of Imperial Credit 
          Industries Inc."
          
          Also during the second quarter, the Company made a decision to
          discontinue Imperial Bank's (the "Bank") precious metals line of
          business. In doing so, the Company provided approximately $6.7
          million, net of tax, for the loss from operations in the discontinued
          division.
          
          Excluding the gains associated with the Company's investment in ICII
          and the losses associated with the discontinued precious metals
          business, the Company earned approximately $8.2 million, or $0.52 per
          share, for the second quarter of 1996 and $14.7 million, or $0.92 per
          share, for the six months ended June 30, 1996. From its core
          operations, the Company's return on average total assets approximated
          1.23% for the second quarter of 1996 and 1.13% for the first half of
          1996. Return on average stockholders' equity from core operations
          approximated 12.91% for the second quarter and 12.09% for the first
          half of 1996. The increase in core earnings for the second quarter and
          first half of 1996 was attributable mainly to the growth in average
          loans from the same periods of 1995 which resulted in an improved net
          interest margin and increased net interest income. Net interest income
          and net interest margin were $34.9 million and 6.0%, respectively, for
          the quarter ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $27.5 million and
          5.6%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. For the six
          months ended June 30, 1996, net interest income and net interest
          margin were $67.1 million and 5.9%, respectively, as compared to $52.4
          million and 5.5%, respectively, for the same period of 1995.

                                       2                     Imperial Bancorp 

 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 totaled $59.6
          million, an improvement from $8.8 million for the same period of 1995.
          For the first half of 1996, noninterest income totaled $71.9 million
          as compared to $16.7 million for the first half of 1995. The increase
          in noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
          was primarily attributable to the gains realized from the sale of ICII
          common stock and the increased equity in the net earnings of ICII. In
          addition, the Company recorded improvements in other fee based income
          including gains from the origination and sale of SBA loans, service
          charges on deposits and trust revenues from the Bank's trust
          subsidiary, Imperial Trust Company.
          
          Noninterest expenses amounted to $33.0 million for the quarter ended
          June 30, 1996 as compared to $26.5 million reported for the same
          period of 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, noninterest
          expenses totaled $63.2 million as compared to $52.6 million for the
          same period. The increase in noninterest expense for the quarter and
          six months ended June 30, 1996 was primarily due to a $3.1 million and
          $7.1 million increase, respectively, in salary and employee benefits
          expense over the same periods in 1995. In addition, the Company
          recorded charitable donation expenses of $3.6 million in the second
          quarter of 1996 and $4.7 million in the first six months of 1996.
 
          Offsetting the increase in personnel costs and charitable donations
          were reductions in regulatory assessments, real estate owned ("REO")
          expense and data processing costs. Regulatory assessments for the
          quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased $1.2 million and
          $2.3 million, respectively, from the same periods of 1995 due to the
          reduction in the FDIC deposit insurance premium in late 1995. REO
          expenses declined $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the
          second quarter and first half of 1996 as levels of REO have decreased
          significantly from the same periods of 1995.
 
          At June 30, 1996, the Company's total assets were $3.1 billion, total
          loans were $1.8 billion and stockholders' equity and allowance for
          loan losses totaled $304 million. This compares to total assets of
          $2.8 billion, total loans of $1.7 billion and stockholders' equity and
          allowance for loan losses of $266 million at December 31, 1995.
 
          Total deposits at June 30, 1996, amounted to $2.7 billion which
          included $1.3 billion, or 50%, noninterest bearing demand deposits.
          This favorably compares to total deposits of $2.4 billion at December
          31, 1995 which included $1.1 billion, or 48%, noninterest bearing
          demand deposits. The overall funding base of the Company is enhanced
          by a sizable level of demand deposits resulting from the Company's
          long standing relationships with the real estate services industry.
          The Company's average demand deposits and average stockholders' equity
          funded 47% of average total assets for the six months ended June 30,
          1996, as compared to 44% for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
 
          At June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses amounted to $38.5
          million or 2.1% of total loans as compared to $37.4 million or 2.2% of
          total loans at December 31, 1995 and $38.4 million or 2.5% of total
          loans at June 30, 1995. The provision for loan losses for the quarter
          ended June 30, 1996 totaled $3.4 million as compared to $3.2 million
          reported for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Net charge-offs for the
          quarter ended June 30, 1996 totaled $4.0 million, a $0.3 million
          decrease from the levels experienced in the same quarter of 1995. The
          provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 1996
          totaled $6.0 million as compared to $4.6 million reported for the six
          months ended June 30, 1995. Net charge-offs for the first half of 1996
          totaled $4.9 million, a $1.2 million decrease from the levels
          experienced in the first half of 1995.
 
          Nonaccrual loans of $20.9 million at June 30, 1996, decreased $9.9
          million from March 31, 1996 and decreased $8.1 million from year end
          1995. The allowance for loan losses coverage of nonaccrual loans at
          June 30, 1996 approximated 185%, a decrease from 266% at June 30, 1995
          and increase from 121% at December 31, 1995. REO of $7.9 million at
          June 30, 1996, decreased $15.0 million from June 30, 1995 and $2.4
          million from year end 1995.
 
          Imperial Bank is classified "Well Capitalized" with leverage, Tier I
          and total capital ratios at June 30, 1996, of 9.2%, 10.1% and 11.4%,
          respectively, as compared to 8.6%, 9.8% and 11.0%, respectively, the
          year earlier.

   EARNINGS PERFORMANCE
 
          Net Interest Income: The Company's operating results depend primarily
          on net interest income. A primary factor affecting the level of net
          interest income is the Company's interest rate margin between the
          yield earned on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
          liabilities as well as the difference between the relative amounts of
          average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing
          liabilities. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, net
          interest income increased to $34.9 million and $67.1 million,
          respectively, from $27.5 million and $52.4 million, respectively, for
          the same periods of 1995.

          The Company's net interest margin increased to 6.0% and 5.9% for the
          second quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively, from 5.6%
          and 5.5%, respectively, for the same periods of 1995. The increased
          net interest income and spread resulted from the $275 million and $291
          million growth in average loans for the second quarter and first half
          of 1996, respectively, from the second quarter and first half of 1995.
          In addition, net interest income and net interest margin improved due
          to the expiration of derivative financial instruments which had a
          negative impact on the Company's net interest margin in the second
          quarter and first half of 1995. As illustrated by Table 1 - Average
          Balances, Yields and Rates Paid (see page 18) and Table 2 - Analysis
          of Changes in Net Interest Margin (see page 19), the growth in the
          Company's loan portfolio had a much greater impact on net interest
          income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 than the
          change in rates. Although the Company's average base lending rate
          dropped approximately 60 basis points from period to period, the
          Company experienced an increase in average loan rates as it was no
          longer negatively impacted by its derivative financial instruments.
          These instruments reduced net interest income and net interest margin
          $2.9 million and 45 basis points, respectively, in the second quarter
          of 1995 and $5.9 million and 52 basis points, respectively, in the
          first half of 1995 while having no material impact in 1996. Offsetting
          the increased interest income and rates recorded on loans were lower
          rates earned on the Company's trading and available for sale
          portfolios in the second quarter and first half of 1996.
 
          Concurrently, the Company's average interest-bearing liabilities for
          the second quarter of 1996, primarily time certificates of deposit
          ("CD"), have grown $105 million from the second quarter of 1995 in
          order to support loan demand. In addition, average demand deposit
          levels were up $235 million from the prior year as deposits inflows
          from the Company's real estate related customers have increased. As a
          result of lower interest rates, overall funding costs as a percentage
          of total interest-bearing liabilities have been reduced. Offsetting
          this decrease in rates paid is the volume increase in CDs greater than
          $100,000.
 
          In conformity with banking industry practice, payments for accounting,
          courier and other deposit related services provided to the Company's
          real estate related customers are recorded as noninterest expense. If
          these deposits were treated as interest-bearing and the payments
          reclassified as interest expense, the Company's reported net interest
          income and noninterest expense would have been reduced by $5.2 million
          and $4.0 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1996
          and 1995. The net interest margin for each period would have been 5.4%
          and 5.0%, respectively.

          Noninterest Income:  Noninterest income amounted to $59.6 million for

          period of 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, noninterest

          Noninterest income reported for the second quarter was significantly
          impacted by gains realized from the sale of a portion of the Company's
          investment in ICII. In April 1996, the Company sold 1.5 million shares
          of ICII as a part of an offering which included the sale of
          approximately 2.2 million new ICII shares by ICII to the public. An
          additional 0.5 million shares were sold by ICII to the public in May
          1996. The Company recorded a $25.6 million pre-tax gain on the sale of
          its ICII shares. After the sales of ICII shares, the book value of
          ICII common stock approximated $8.72 per share. As such, the Company
          recorded a $10.8 million pre-tax gain which approximated the excess of
          ICII's book value per share over the book value of the Company's
          remaining investment in ICII. At June 30, 1996, the Company's
          investment in ICII approximated 4.7 million shares representing
          approximately 25% ownership. The total gains of $36.4 million related
          to these transactions are reflected in the consolidated Statement of
          Income as "Gain on sale of Imperial Credit Industries, Inc. common
          stock."
 
          In addition, the Company realized a significant increase in equity in
          the net earnings of ICII for the second quarter of 1996. In June 1996,
          ICII sold approximately 2.0 million shares of their subsidiary
          Southern Pacific Funding Corporation (NYSE-SFC) in connection with
          SFC's initial public offering of 5.0 million shares. ICII's sale of
          its SFC stock resulted in a pre-tax gain to ICII of $62.0 million. The
          Company's net equity in this gain realized by ICII approximated $8.9
          million pre-tax and is included in the consolidated Statement of
          Income as "Equity in the net earnings of Imperial Credit Industries,
          Inc." Excluding the gains from the SFC transaction, the equity in net
          earnings of ICII increased $0.6 million and $3.6 million for the
          second quarter and first six months of 1996 despite the reduction in
          ownership percentage to approximately 25%. These increases were
          attributable to ICII's greater volume and higher profitability on loan
          sales executed through securitization transactions.
 
          Excluding ICII, noninterest income for the second quarter and first
          six months of 1996 improved $3.7 million and $5.3 million,
          respectively, from the same periods of 1995. This improvement
          partially results from $2.7 million of appreciation of ICII stock
          which was contributed to a charitable organization during the second
          quarter. The appreciation represents the difference between the market
          value and the book value of the ICII shares on the date they were
          donated. The Company recorded a corresponding charitable contribution
          expense in other expenses during the quarter (see Noninterest
          Expense). The Company made a similar donation in the first quarter of
          1996 resulting in appreciation of donated stock totaling $3.5 million
          for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

          Also, the Company recorded improvements in other fee income
          businesses. The Company recorded higher gains from the origination and
          sales of SBA loans as loan volumes have increased over the prior year.
          This line of business generated an additional $0.9 million and $0.7
          million, respectively, to noninterest income for the quarter and six
          months ended June 30, 1996. Trust income from Imperial Trust Company
          increased $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from the second
          quarter and first six months of 1995 as a result of the Trust
          Company's increase in assets under management and administration.
          Service charges on deposit accounts for the second quarter and first
          six months of 1996 have increased $0.2 million and $0.4 million,
          respectively, from the same periods in the prior year primarily due to
          the increase in average demand deposits from period to period. The
          $0.6 million and $1.0 million increase, respectively, in other service
          charges and fees for the second quarter and first half of 1996 related
          to various activities, most significant of which were the following:
          commissions related to the sale of non-proprietary mutual funds
          increased $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and fees
          related to loan processing and servicing were also up $0.4 million and
          $0.6 million, respectively. These increases were all related to
          increased volumes in the respective operations. Other income recorded
          in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 improved $1.2
          million and $1.6 million, respectively, over the same periods of 1995.
          Partially responsible was a $0.4 million and $0.7 million increase,
          respectively, from the same periods in 1995 in income recognized from
          the exercise and sale of stock warrants.
 
          Offsetting the overall increase in noninterest income was a $1.0
          million and $2.0 million decrease, respectively, in merchant and
          credit card fees for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996
          from the same periods of 1995. As a result of the fourth quarter 1995
          sale of a portion of the Bank's merchant card account portfolio, fee
          income for the second quarter and first six months of 1996 related to
          this line of business decreased from the same periods of 1995.
 
          Noninterest Expense:  Noninterest expense totaled $33.0 million for
          the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $26.5 million for the
          same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 1996,
          noninterest expense was $63.1 million up from $52.6 million in the
          first half of 1995. The table below shows the major components of
          noninterest expense.

          For both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, the increase
          in noninterest expense was partially attributable to the charitable
          donations of ICII common stock made in both the first and second
          quarters of 1996 (see Noninterest Income).
 
          Excluding the impact of these donations, noninterest expense rose $2.8
          million and $5.9 million, respectively, from the second quarter and
          first half of 1995. Primarily attributable was increased salary and
          benefit costs experienced in the first half of 1996. In addition to
          opening a new regional banking office in Fresno, California, the
          Company's focus on statewide growth has centered around an investment
          in people resulting in a $3.3 million increase in personnel expenses
          for the first half of 1996 over the first half of 1995. Also, the
          Company adopted an additional deferred compensation plan on January 1,
          1996 which added approximately $1.8 million to benefit costs in the
          first half of 1996. As a result of the greater profitability realized
          for the first half of 1996 and expected through the remainder of the

          year, expenses related to incentive compensation for the six months
          ended June 30, 1996 increased $1.5 million over the same period of the
          prior year. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company increased the match
          on its 401-K Plan which in turn increased expenses related to this
          plan by $0.3 million for the first half of 1996 over the same period
          of 1995. All of these factors were also responsible for the increase
          in compensation costs in the second quarter of 1996 over the same
          quarter of 1995.
 
          Service costs in the second quarter and first half of 1996 related to
          demand deposits including accounting, courier and other deposit
          related services increased $0.8 million and $1.2 million,
          respectively, from the same periods of 1995 due to increased average
          demand deposit volumes during the first half of 1996 as these costs
          are a function of deposit volume and interest rates. The Company
          incurred higher professional and consulting fees during the second
          quarter and first half of 1996. Increased consulting expenses in the
          second quarter and first six months of 1996 accounted for
          approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of the
          increase while legal fee expense was up $0.4 million and $0.7 million,
          respectively. The Company has retained the services of outside
          consultants to assist in the implementation of its cost containment
          and revenue enhancement programs. Other expenses for the quarter and
          six months ended June 30, 1996 increased $0.7 million and $0.5
          million, respectively, over the same periods in the prior year. The
          Company incurred higher amortization expense related to the deposit
          premium paid in early 1995 to acquire the insured deposits of Guardian
          Bank. This increase approximated $0.1 million and $0.3 million,
          respectively, for the second quarter and first half of 1996 over the
          same periods of 1995.
 
          Offsetting these increases in noninterest expense were decreases in
          the following components of noninterest expense. Regulatory
          assessments for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996
          decreased $1.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, from the same
          periods of 1995 due to a reduction in the FDIC deposit insurance
          premium in the third quarter of 1995. Also, the Company experienced
          reduced data processing costs in the second quarter and first half of
          1996 which declined $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from
          the same periods of 1995. The reduced costs were primarily the result
          of the fourth quarter 1995 sale of a portion of the merchant card
          account portfolio as the cost to service the accounts declined $0.4
          million and $0.8 million, respectively, from the quarter and six
          months ended June 30, 1995. REO expenses totaled $0.3 million and $0.9
          million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
          1996 a decrease of $0.9 million and $1.4 million from the same periods
          of 1995. In the second quarter and first half of the prior year, the
          Company recorded $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in
          provisions for REO; no provisions for REO were required in the first
          half of 1996.
 
          Income Taxes:  The Company recorded income tax expense of $23.4
          million and $28.4 million, respectively, for the quarter and six
          months ended June 30, 1996 representing effective tax rates of
          approximately 40.2% and 40.7%, respectively. For the same periods of
          1995, the Company's income tax expense and effective tax rate
          approximated $2.4 million and 35.5%, respectively, and $3.3 million
          and 27.2%, respectively. During the first quarter of 1995, the Company
          recorded a $0.9 million reduction of tax expense to reflect the
          finalization of prior years income tax issues. Also in the first half
          of 1995, the Company reduced the valuation allowance on its deferred
          tax assets by approximately $0.8 million. Excluding these items, the
          Company's effective tax rate would have been 41.6% and 41.4%,
          respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of 1995. At
          June 30, 1996, the Company had a net deferred tax receivable of $0.8
          million, as compared to a $5.5 million net deferred tax receivable at
          December 31, 1995. The Company's net deferred tax receivable is
          supported by carryback and carryforward provisions of the tax laws as
          well as the Company's level of taxable income recognized by the
          Company in the first half of 1996 and its projection of taxable income
          for the remainder of 1996.
 
          Discontinued Operation:  In the second quarter of 1996, the
          management of the Company decided to discontinue the precious metals
          business which had been engaged in trading and leasing of precious
          metals in addition to making loans secured by precious metals since
          1993. The decision to exit this line of business was made in the wake
          of several operational losses for which the Company provided
          approximately $6.7 million, net of tax, in the second quarter. This
          provision, in addition to all of the results of operations from this
          division, are reflected in the consolidated Statement of Income
          "(Loss) income from operations of discontinued operation, net of tax."
          The Company expects substantially all of the activities of the
          precious metals division to be ended by December 31, 1996.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
 
          Liquidity:  For the Company, as with most commercial banking
          institutions, liquidity is the ability to roll over substantial
          amounts of maturing liabilities and to acquire new liabilities at
          levels consistent with management's financial targets. The key to this
          on-going replacement activity is the Company's reputation in the
          domestic money markets, which is based upon its financial condition
          and its capital base.
 
          The overall liquidity position of the Company has been enhanced by a
          sizable base of demand deposits resulting from long standing
          relationships with the real estate services industry which have
          provided a relatively stable and low cost funding base. Demand
          deposits averaged $975 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996
          as compared to $780 million for the same period of 1995. The Company's
          average demand deposits and average stockholders' equity funded 47%
          and 44%, respectively, of average total assets for the quarters ended
          June 30, 1996 and 1995.
 
          These funding sources are augmented by payments of principal and
          interest on loans and the routine liquidation of securities from the
          trading and available for sale portfolios and Federal funds sold and
          securities purchased under resale agreements. During the first quarter
          of 1996, the Company experienced a net cash outflow from its investing
          activities of $77 million. This net outflow in investing activities
          resulted primarily from the growth in the Company's loan portfolio, an
          outflow of $151 million. The outflows were offset by the $271 million
          net cash provided by the Company's financing activities consisting
          mainly of deposit inflows including $70 million in certificates of
          deposit and $222 million in demand deposits, money market and savings
          accounts. These deposit inflows were partially offset by $57 million
          of outflows attributable to short-term deposits.
 
          Interest Rate Sensitivity Management:  The primary objectives of the
          asset liability management process are to provide a stable net
          interest margin, generate net interest income to meet the Company's
          earnings objectives, and manage balance sheet risks. These risks
          include liquidity risk, capital adequacy and overall interest rate
          risk inherent in the Company's balance sheet. In order to manage its
          interest rate sensitivity, the Company has adopted policies which
          attempt to limit the change in pre-tax net interest income assuming
          various interest rate scenarios. This is accomplished by adjusting the
          repricing characteristics of the Company's assets and liabilities as
          interest rates change. The Company's Asset Liability Committee
          ("ALCO") chooses strategies in conformance with its policies to
          achieve an appropriate trade off between interest rate sensitivity and
          the volatility of pre-tax net interest income and net interest margin.
 
          Each month the Company assesses its overall exposure to potential
          changes in interest rates and the impact such changes may have on
          pre-tax interest income and net interest margin by simulating various
          interest rate scenarios over future time periods. Through the use of
          these simulations, the Company can approximate the impact of these
          projected rate changes on its entire on and off-balance sheet position
          or any particular segment of the balance sheet.
 
          Cumulative interest sensitivity gap represents the difference between
          interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or
          repricing, whichever is earlier, at a given point in time. At June 30,
          1996, the Company maintained a positive one year gap of approximately
          $610 million as its interest rate sensitive assets exceeded its
          interest rate sensitive liabilities. This positive cumulative gap
          positions indicate that the Company is asset sensitive and positioned
          for increased net interest income during a period of rising interest
          rates but also exposed to an adverse impact on net interest income in
          a falling rate environment.
 
          The Company's net interest margin is sensitive to sudden changes in
          interest rates. In addition, the Company's interest-earning assets,
          primarily its loans, are tied to the Prime Rate, an index which tends
          to react more slowly to changes in market rates than other money
          market indices such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). The
          rates paid for the Company's interest-bearing liabilities, however, do
          correlate with LIBOR. This mismatch creates a spread relationship risk
          between the Company's Prime based assets and LIBOR correlated
          liabilities. An analysis of the historic relationship between the
          Prime Rate and LIBOR showed that the spread between the indices
          narrows in an environment of rising interest rates and widens in a
          falling rate environment. In order to provide protection against a
          narrowing of the Prime Rate and LIBOR spread and reduce asset
          sensitivity in the event of falling

          interest rates, the Company entered into a series of derivative
          financial contracts in 1993 and 1994 to establish a balance sheet
          position which would provide some protection against a decrease in
          interest rates while providing an increasing rate asset whose
          characteristics would meet the objectives of the Company's asset
          liability policy. The purpose of the instruments was to synthetically
          alter the sensitivity of a portion of the Company's Prime based loan
          portfolio while retaining some positive asset sensitivity in the event
          of an increase in interest rates.
 
          Of the derivative financial contracts entered into in late 1993 and
          1994, which included interest rate swaps with embedded options and
          associated written options, and purchased options, many expired during
          1995 although some were still outstanding at year end 1995. Those
          swaps outstanding from 1995 matured in the first quarter of 1996. All
          of the embedded and linked options expired during 1995.
 
          The combined economic impact of the Company's derivative financial
          instruments discussed above was a reduction in net interest income and
          net interest margin of $2.9 million and 45 basis points, respectively,
          in the second quarter of 1995, and $5.9 million and 52 basis points,
          respectively, in the first half of 1995. The impact of these
          instruments for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 was not
          material.
 
          During 1995, the Company revised its approach as it related to
          protecting net interest income from a narrowing of the Prime Rate and
          LIBOR spread. The concern with the spread between the two indices
          narrowing was reduced as the Prime Rate moved toward the
          characteristics of a retail rate and away from those of a wholesale
          rate. This was evidenced by the interest rate swap markets in 1995 as
          the spread between Prime and LIBOR increased from approximately 217
          basis points to 250 basis points. Although the Company remains asset
          sensitive, management had fewer concerns about potential compression
          of the Company's interest rate margin in early 1995 then it did in
          late 1993 and early 1994. The Company developed strategies to protect
          both net interest income and net interest margin from significant
          movements in interest rates both up and down. These strategies involve
          purchasing interest rate floors and caps with strike prices which
          generally adjust quarterly and are approximately 200 basis points
          below or above (depending on the instrument) current market rates.
 
          Based on its strategy and the general asset sensitive nature of the
          balance sheet, the Company purchased over the counter interest rate
          floors in the first quarter of 1995 to protect against a drop in
          interest rates. The interest rate floors, with a notional value of
          $500 million at June 30, 1996, mature in the first quarter of 1997. In
          the first and second quarters of 1996, the Company purchased $2.0
          billion of exchange traded interest rate floors. The floors mature at
          the rate of $500 million per quarter beginning in the second quarter
          of 1997. The floors maturing in the first, second and third quarter of
          1997 provide protection to the Company in the event that the three
          month LIBOR drops below the strike price of 4.0% associated with the
          floor while the remaining floors have a strike price of 4.25%. The
          unrealized gain on the floors approximated $125,000 at June 30, 1996.
 
          During 1995, the Company also purchased both exchange traded and over
          the counter interest rate caps to protect its fixed rate loans from an
          increase in interest rates which would narrow the Company's net
          interest margin. The exchange traded caps had a notional value of $0.4
          billion at June 30, 1996 and mature in the third quarter of 1996. The
          over the counter caps had a notional value of $100 million at June 30,
          1996. These caps reset in September of 1996 and mature in December of
          1996. All of the caps provide protection to the Company in the event
          that the three month LIBOR rises above the strike prices of the caps
          which range from 8.0% to 8.5%. There were no material unrealized gains
          or losses on these caps at June 30, 1996. In the first and second
          quarters of 1996, the Company purchased additional exchange traded
          interest rate caps with a notional value of $1.0 billion at June 30,
          1996. The caps provide protection in the event that the three month
          LIBOR increases above the 6.5% strike price of the caps. These caps
          mature at the rate of $500 million per quarter in the fourth quarter
          of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. The unrealized gains on these
          caps at June 30, 1996 approximated $388,000.

   ASSET QUALITY
 
          Nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and real estate owned:
          Nonaccrual loans, which includes loans 90 days or more past due,
          totaled $20.9 million at June 30, 1996 as compared to $28.9 million at
          year end 1995 and $14.5 million at June 30, 1995. The decrease from
          year end 1995 was related in part to charge-offs of loans on
          nonaccrual at year end, approximately $2.5 million, paydowns
          approximating $2.5 million and delinquencies which were cured,
          approximately $4.6 million. Consistent with prior reporting periods,
          there were no loans past due 90 days or more which were still accruing
          interest and all interest associated with nonaccrual loans had been
          reversed. It has been the Company's policy to recognize interest on
          nonaccrual loans only as collected.
 
          Restructured loans, loans outstanding whose original terms have been
          modified, totaled $45.0 million at June 30, 1996 as compared to $33.6
          million at prior year end and $4.1 million at June 30, 1995. The
          increase in restructured loans from the second quarter of 1995
          resulted from the modification of two real estate secured loans
          totaling $29.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1995. The modified
          loans carried market rates of interest but are classified as
          restructured because the Company anticipates debt forgiveness on one
          of the loans in return for a partial principal paydown and additional
          collateral and because the Company deferred a principal reduction on
          the other. All restructured loans were current as to principal and
          interest at June 30, 1996.
 
          Real estate owned of $7.9 million, net of a $0.4 valuation allowance,
          at June 30, 1996 decreased $2.4 million from year end 1995 and $15.0
          million from June 30, 1995.

          At June 30, 1996, the recorded investment in loans for which
          impairment has been recognized in accordance with FAS 114 totaled
          $137.3 million, of which $20.9 million were on nonaccrual status and
          $41.0 were classified as restructured loans. A significant portion,
          $108.8 million, of the impaired loans were secured by real estate.
          Impaired loans totaling $106.9 million required a specific allowance
          for potential losses. The specific allowance for potential losses
          related to such loans was $13.9 million. The remaining $30.4 million
          of loans classified as impaired did not require a specific allowance
          for potential losses. Impaired loans averaged $128.7 million during
          the six months ended June 30, 1996. During the first half of 1996,
          total interest recognized on the impaired loan portfolio, on a cash
          basis, was $4.8 million. At June 30, 1996, $108.4 million of the
          impaired loans were current as to principal and interest. There were
          no loans classified as potential problems at June 30, 1996.
 
          Allowance and provision for loan losses:  The allowance for loan
          losses is maintained at a level considered appropriate by management
          and is based on an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the
          loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the
          provision for loan losses which is charged against current period
          operating results, and is decreased by the amount of net charge-offs
          during the period. The Company's determination of the level of the
          allowance for loan losses, and correspondingly, the provision for loan
          losses rests upon various judgments and assumptions, including

          general economic conditions (especially in California), loan portfolio
          composition and concentrations, prior loan loss experience, collateral
          value, identification of problem and potential problem loans and other
          relevant data to identify the risks in the loan portfolio. While
          management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at
          June 30, 1996, future additions to the allowance will be subject to
          continuing evaluation of inherent risk in the loan portfolio.
 
          At June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses amounted to $38.5
          million, or 2.08% of total loans, as compared to $37.4 million, or
          2.20% of total loans, at December 31, 1995 and $38.5 million, or 2.49%
          of total loans, at June 30, 1995. The following table summarizes
          changes in the allowance for loan losses.

   CAPITAL
 
          Retained earnings from operations has been the primary source of new
          capital for the Company, with the exception of its long term debt
          offering in 1979, and on a smaller scale, the exercise of employee
          stock options. At June 30, 1996, shareholders' equity totaled $265
          million as compared to $228 million at December 31, 1995. In the first
          half of 1996, the Company recorded an additional $1.5 million of
          shareholders' equity from the exercise of employee stock options. The
          Company receives a tax deduction from the exercise of non-qualified
          stock options for the difference between the option price and the
          market value of the shares issued. The tax benefit associated with
          shares exercised, which is recorded as a component of stockholders'
          equity, approximated $1.3 million during the first six months of 1996.
 
          Management is committed to maintaining capital at a sufficient level
          to assure shareholders, customers and regulators that the Company and
          the Bank are financially sound. Risk-adjusted capital guidelines,
          issued by bank regulatory agencies, assign risk weightings to assets
          both on and off-balance sheet and place increased emphasis on common
          equity. Under Prompt Corrective Action legislation, institutions whose
          Tier I and total capital ratios meet or exceed 6% and 10%,
          respectively, are deemed to be "well capitalized". Tier I capital
          basically consists of common stockholders' equity and noncumulative
          perpetual preferred stock and minority interest of consolidated
          subsidiaries minus intangible assets. Based on the guidelines, the
          Bank's Tier I and total capital ratios at June 30, 1996 were 10.1% and
          11.4%, respectively, as compared to 9.8% and 11.0%, respectively, at
          June 30, 1995.

          maintain leverage ratios, to be determined on an individual basis, but
          not below a minimum of 3%. The ratio is defined as Tier I capital to
          average total assets for the most recent quarter. The Bank's leverage
          ratio was 9.2% at June 30, 1996 as compared to 8.6% at June 30, 1995
          well in excess of its regulatory requirement.
 
   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
          In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
          issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
          "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
          Assets to be Disposed Of" ("FAS 121"). FAS 121 requires that
          long-lived assets and certain

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          identifiable intangibles held for use be reviewed for impairment
          whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
          amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In addition, FAS 121
          requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
          held for disposal be reported at the lower of book value or fair value
          less selling costs. The Company adopted FAS 121 on January 1, 1996.
          The impact of adopting FAS 121 was not material to the results of
          operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
 
          In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("FAS
          123"). FAS 123 applies to all transactions in which the Company
          acquires goods or services by issuing equity instruments or by
          incurring liabilities where the payment amounts are based on the
          Company's common stock price, except for Employee Stock Ownership
          Plans. A new method of accounting for stock based compensation
          arrangements with employees is established by FAS 123. The new method
          is based on the fair value method rather than the intrinsic value
          method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
          to Employees" ("APB 25"). FAS 123 does not require companies to adopt
          the new fair value method for purposes of preparing their basic
          financial statements. Companies are allowed to either continue to use
          the APB 25 method or adopt the fair value method set forth in FAS 123.
          Companies that do not adopt the new fair value method in FAS 123 for
          purposes of preparing their basic financial statements are required to
          include pro-forma disclosures in the notes to the basic financial
          statements. The pro-forma disclosures should include the impact of the
          fair value method on net income and income per share as if FAS 123 had
          been adopted. The Company adopted FAS 123 on January 1, 1996 but
          management has decided not to adopt the fair value method set forth in
          FAS 123 for purposes of accounting for its stock-based compensation.
 
          In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
          Statement of Accounting Standards No. 125, Accounting for Liabilities
          ("FAS 125"). FAS 125 provides accounting and reporting standards for
          transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
          liabilities. These standards are based on consistent application of a
          financial components approach that focuses on control. Under that
          approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes
          the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it
          has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been
          surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. FAS 125
          provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of
          financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured
          borrowings. FAS 125 requires that liabilities and derivatives incurred
          or obtained by transferors as part of a transfer of financial assets
          be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It also requires
          that servicing assets and other retained interests in the transferred
          assets be measured by allocating the previous carrying amount between
          the assets sold, if any, and retained interest, if any, based on their
          relative fair values at the date of the transfers. FAS 125 includes
          specific provisions to deal with servicing assets or liabilities. FAS
          125 will be effective for transactions occurring after December 31,
          1996. It is not anticipated that the financial impact of this
          statement will have material effect on the Company.

   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  
      Imperial Bancorp and Subsidiaries
 
 
          NOTE (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION
 
          The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been
          prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
          therefore do not include all footnotes as would be necessary for a
          fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and
          changes in cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
          principles. However, these interim financial statements reflect all
          normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of the
          management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
          interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal
          recurring nature. The Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated
          Statement of Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows are
          presented in the same format as that used in the Company's most
          recently filed Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial
          statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
          subsidiaries.
 
 
          NOTE (2) IMPERIAL CREDIT INDUSTRIES, INC.
 
          At December 31, 1994, the Company owned 3,867,368 shares, or 40.2% of
          the common stock of Imperial Credit Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ-NMS-ICII)
          ("ICII"). During 1995, ICII common stock was split at the ratio of
          three new shares for every two shares outstanding. In February 1996,
          ICII declared and paid a 10% stock dividend. Combined, these events
          increased shares held by the Company to 6,381,157. The Company's
          ownership percentage dropped slightly from 40.2% to 39.7% as a result
          of the exercise of employee stock options at ICII. In April 1996, the
          Company sold 1,500,000 shares of ICII in a public offering for $26 per
          share. As a part of that same offering, ICII sold 2,252,091 new shares
          to the public. In May 1996, ICII sold an additional 562,813 new shares
          to the public.
 
          As a result of the second quarter sale and offerings, the Company's
          ownership percentage was reduced to approximately 25%. The Company
          does not exercise significant control over the operations of ICII and
          as such the results of operations are accounted for in the Company's
          financial statements as an equity investment. The equity investment in
          ICII is carried at cost adjusted for changes in ICII's shareholder
          equity including undistributed income. Transactions between ICII and
          the Company occur during the normal course of business. All
          transactions are carried out at substantially the same terms as those
          prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with others.

TABLE 2 - ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN NET INTEREST MARGIN
 
          Changes in the Company's net interest income are a function of both
          changes in rates and changes in volumes of interest-earning assets and
          interest-bearing liabilities. The following table sets forth
          information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense
          for the years indicated. The total change is segmented into the change
          attributable to variations in volume (changes in volume multiplied by
          old rate) and the change attributable to variations in interest rates
          (changes in rates multiplied by old volume). The change in interest
          due to both rate and volume (changes in rate multiplied by changes in
          volume) is classified as rate/volume. Nonaccrual loans are included in
          average loans used to compute this table. The table is not presented
          on a tax equivalent basis as the effects are not material.

   COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
 
          Imperial Bancorp (the "Company") has outstanding certain employee
          stock options, which options have been determined to be common stock
          equivalents for purposes of computing earnings per share.

          the Company's common stock exceeded the exercise price of certain of
          these common stock equivalents. Under the treasury stock method, the
          following weighted average shares of common stock and common stock
          equivalents outstanding were used in the respective earnings per share
          computations.

   OTHER INFORMATION
 
 
      ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
 
 
              Due to the nature of the businesses, the Company and its
              subsidiaries are subject to numerous legal actions, threatened or
              filed, arising in the normal course of business. Certain of the
              actions currently pending seek punitive damages, in addition to
              other relief. The Company is of the opinion that the eventual
              outcome of all currently pending legal proceedings will not be
              materially adverse to the Company, nor has the resolution of any
              proceeding since the Company's last filing with the Commission
              materially adversely affected the registrant or any subsidiary
