(1) Asset Quality Ratios and Regulatory Capital Ratios are end of period
ratios. With the exception of end of period ratios, all ratios are based
on average daily balances during the indicated periods and are annualized
where appropriate.
(2) The average interest rate spread represents the difference between the
weighted average yield on interest earning assets and the weighted
average cost of interest bearing liabilities.
(3) The net interest margin represents net interest income as a percent of
average interest earning assets.
(4) Gross loans receivable includes loans receivable held for investment and
loans held for sale, less undisbursed loan funds, deferred loan fees and
unamortized discounts/premiums.
(5) Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans (nonaccrual loans and
restructured loans not performing in accordance with their restructured
terms) and REO. REO consists of real estate acquired through foreclosure
and real estate acquired by acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
The Company had no REO or nonperforming restructured loans, and
nonperforming loans equaled nonperforming assets, at each of the dates
presented above.
(6) At December 31, 1993, the Company had $1,000 of nonperforming loans and
no other nonperforming assets. Accordingly, referenced ratio data would
not be meaningful.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Monterey Bay Bancorp, Inc. ("the Company") completed its initial
offering of common stock on February 14, 1995, in connection with the conversion
of Monterey Bay Bank (the "Bank"), formerly Watsonville Federal Savings and Loan
Association, from the mutual to stock form of ownership. The Company utilized
approximately 50% of the net proceeds to acquire all of the issued and
outstanding stock of the Bank. The Company is headquartered in Watsonville,
California and its principal business currently consists of the operations of
its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Company had no operations prior to
February 14, 1995, and accordingly, the results of operations prior to that date
reflect only those of the Bank and its subsidiary.
The Company's results of operations are dependent, to a large extent,
on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and
dividend income it receives on its interest earning assets, (principally loans
and investment securities) and the interest expense, or the cost of funds of its
interest bearing liabilities (principally deposits and, to a lesser extent, FHLB
advances and reverse repurchase agreements). The Company's service charges,
mortgage loan servicing fees, and commissions from the sale of insurance
products and investments through its wholly owned subsidiary also have
significant effects on the Company's results of operations. The Company's
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation,
occupancy expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums, data processing fees and
other operating expenses. The Company's results of operations are also
significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions,
particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions
of regulatory agencies. The Company exceeded all of its regulatory capital
requirements at December 31, 1996.
Interest Rate Risk
The objective of the Company's asset/liability management activities is
to improve earnings by adjusting the type and mix of assets and liabilities to
effectively address changing conditions and risks. Through overall management of
its balance sheet and by controlling various risks, the Company seeks to
optimize its financial returns within safe and sound parameters. Financial
institutions are subject to interest rate risk to the degree that
interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature on a different basis and at
different times than interest-earning assets.
The principal objective of the Company's interest rate risk management
function is to evaluate the interest rate risk included in certain balance sheet
accounts, determine the level of risk appropriate given the Company's business
focus, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance
objectives, establish prudent asset concentration guidelines and manage the risk
consistent with Board approved guidelines. The Company's interest rate risk
policies are established and monitored by its Asset/Liability committee
("ALCO"). The ALCO reviews the sensitivity of the Company's net interest income
and market value of equity to interest rate changes. The objective of the
Company's ALCO activities is to improve earnings by adjusting the types of
assets and liabilities to effectively address changing conditions and risks. The
ALCO seeks to reduce the vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest
rates and to manage the ratio of interest rate sensitive assets to interest rate
sensitive liabilities within specified maturities or repricing dates. The ALCO
closely monitors its interest rate risk as such risk relates to its operational
strategies and reports on these matters to the Board of Directors. The extent of
the movement of interest rates, higher or lower, is an uncertainty that could
have a negative impact on the earnings of the Company.
4
To measure the Company's interest rate sensitivity, a cumulative gap
measure can be used to assess the impact of potential changes in interest rates
on the net interest income. The repricing gap represents the net position of
assets and liabilities subject to repricing in specified time periods. Assets
and liabilities are categorized according to the expected repricing time frames
based on management's judgment.
The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 1996 which are
anticipated by the Company, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature
in each of the future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amount of
assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period
were determined in accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the terms
of the asset or liability. It is intended to provide an approximation of the
projected repricing of assets and liabilities at December 31, 1996 on the basis
of contractual maturities, adjusted for anticipated prepayments, and scheduled
rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time
intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to
be redeployed and/or repriced as a result of contractual amortization and
anticipated early payoffs of adjustable rate loans and fixed rate loans, and as
a result of contractual rate adjustments on adjustable rate loans. For loans on
residential properties, adjustable rate loans and fixed rate loans are projected
to prepay at rates between 6% and 15% annually. Passbook amounts in the table
reflect an assumed run-off of 25% in the first year and 25% annually thereafter.
Money market accounts reflect an assumed run-off of 70% in the first year and
30% thereafter. The Company's interest bearing checking accounts are subject to
immediate withdrawal ($13.9 million) and are assumed to reprice within the first
three months. Based upon the assumptions used in the following table, at
December 31, 1996, the Company's total interest bearing liabilities maturing or
repricing within one year exceeded its total net interest earning assets
maturing or repricing in the same time by $81.2 million, representing a one year
cumulative "gap" ratio, as defined below, as a percentage of total assets of
negative 19.06%. As a result, the Company is vulnerable to increases in interest
rates.

(1) Interest earning assets are included in the period in which the balances
are expected to be redeployed and/or repriced as a result of anticipated
early payoffs, scheduled rate adjustments, and contractual maturities.
(2) Includes assets available for sale.
(3) Includes $199,000 of certificates of deposit with original maturities
greater than 90 days.
(4) For purposes of the gap analysis, mortgage and other loans are reduced
for loans greater than 90 days past due but are not reduced for the
allowance for loan losses.
(5) Investments and mortgage backed securities are at fair market value.
Assets are reported net of unearned (discount) premium and deferred loan
fees.
(6) Interest sensitivity gap represents the difference between interest
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
6
A cumulative gap measure alone cannot be used to evaluate interest rate
sensitivity because interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets
and liabilities equally or simultaneously. In measuring interest rate
sensitivity, the Company also uses simulation modeling to estimate the potential
effects of movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk sensitivity estimated
by management, as measured by the change in the net portfolio value of equity as
a percentage of the present value of assets from an immediate 200 basis point
increase in interest rates, was 3.85% and 3.42% at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Analysis of Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on
interest earning assets and expense on interest bearing liabilities. Net
interest income also depends upon the relative amounts of interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on
them.
Average Balance Sheet
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the
Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. The yields
and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of
assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are
derived from average daily balances. The yields and costs include fees which are
considered adjustments to yields.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest
rates and changes in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense
during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with
respect to: (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes
in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) the net change. The changes
attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated
proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995
General
The Company recorded net income of $852,000 for the year ended December
31, 1996, compared to $673,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The fully
diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $.27,
compared to $.17 per share for the year ended December 31, 1995. Included in net
income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was a non-recurring expense of
$1,387,000 ($815,000 net of taxes) resulting from the federally mandated
recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) on September
30, 1996. Excluding the non-recurring special insurance premium assessment, net
income would have been $1.7 million, or $.53 per share for the year ended
December 31, 1996. The improvement in earnings, exclusive of the special SAIF
insurance assessment, was the result of higher net interest income, a reduction
in the provision for loan losses, and increased revenue from customer service
charges and mortgage loan servicing income in 1996, partially offset by higher
noninterest expenses. Implementation of the Company's strategic decision to
transition from a traditional savings institution to a community banking
orientation resulted in an increase in general and administrative expenses which
are expected to continue to increase as the Company expands its branch locations
and product lines. The planned benefits of this transition, increased net
interest margin and fee income, are expected to lag behind the increase in
expenditures. Increases in average yields earned on earning assets, in addition
to a decline in the Company's cost of deposits, increased the Company's net
interest margin to 3.00% for the year ended December 31, 1996, from 2.65% for
the year ended December 31, 1995.
The operating results of the Company for the year ended December 31,
1996 were influenced by the December 1996 assumption of $102.1 million of
deposit liabilities from Fremont Investment and Loan for an approximately
equivalent amount of cash. No fixed assets were acquired in the transaction. The
cash was reinvested in various mortgage backed securities and other investments.
Also during the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company purchased a former First
Interstate Bank branch in Capitola, California, which began operations as a full
service bank branch on January 6, 1997. The expansion activity resulted in an
increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,
1996.
Interest Income
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by $1.4
million, or 6.4%, to $24.0 million compared to $22.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995. Interest income from loans, which accounted for 75.1% of
total interest income for the year ended December 31, 1996, increased by $.2
million, or 1.1%, due to an increase in the Company's weighted average yield on
loans receivable to 7.78% for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to
7.37% for the previous year, partially offset by a reduction in average
outstanding loan balances during the same period. Interest income on mortgage
backed securities totaled $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, an
increase of $1.1 million, or 55.0%. This increase was primarily attributable to
a higher average outstanding balance in 1996 and higher effective yields on
mortgage backed securities resulting from lower-than-projected prepayment speeds
on the underlying mortgages during 1996. Interest income from other investment
securities, federal funds sold, and FHLB stock increased nominally for the year
ended December 31, 1996, due to a higher average volume in 1996 as compared to
1995. Interest income on mortgage backed securities and investment securities
for the year ended December 31, 1996 were favorably impacted by the fourth
quarter, 1996 purchase of securities with cash proceeds from the December
deposit assumption.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $14.3
million, compared to $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, a $.1
million or 0.8% increase. This increase was due to a higher average balance of
savings deposits in 1996, partially offset by lower rates paid on deposit
accounts and borrowings. As compared to 1995, interest expense on deposits in
1996 increased $.5 million due to
10
higher average outstanding balances and declined $.1 million due to lower rates
paid on deposit accounts. The Company's cost of deposits declined to a weighted
average rate of 4.88% in 1996 from 4.99% in 1995. The Company's cost of
certificate of deposit accounts declined 11 basis points to a weighted average
rate of 5.58% in 1996 from 5.69% in 1995, due to the maturity and renewal, at
generally lower market rates, of a large portion of the Company's certificate of
deposit accounts outstanding at December 31, 1995. Interest expense on FHLB
advances and other borrowings declined $.2 million, or 6.7%, due to lower
outstanding balances and reduced borrowing rates in 1996.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company 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 Company,
industry standards, past due loans, economic conditions in the Company's market
area generally and other factors related to the collectibility of the Company's
loan portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the provision for loan
losses amounted to $28,000, a decrease of $635,000 compared to 1995. The decline
in the provision in 1996 was due to improved credit quality as reflected in
lower levels of nonperforming and classified assets. The Company substantially
increased the amount of its reserves in 1995 based upon an evaluation of loan
assets, the change in the composition of the loan portfolio during 1995,
information received from the OTS following a regulatory examination, and
management's decision to significantly increase the reserve against potential
losses in a weak economic environment. Nonperforming assets declined to .59% of
gross loans receivable at December 31, 1996 compared to 1.39% at December 31,
1995.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income increased by $368,000, or 64.2%, to $941,000
for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to 1995. This increase was
primarily attributable to increased mortgage servicing income, higher service
charge income due to a larger customer base and increased number of deposit
accounts, and a net gain on sales of investment securities. These increases were
partially offset by a decline in commission income from annuity sales, from
$464,000 in 1995 to $138,000 in 1996. The Company has implemented a strategic
business plan intended to increase 1997 annuity sales, and has hired new
management experienced in the brokerage industry to oversee these operations.
There can be no assurance, however, that such sales will increase as intended.
General and Administrative Expense
Total general and administrative expenses were $9.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 1996, an increase of approximately $2.0 million, or
27.3%, over the $7.1 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Included in general and administrative expense for 1996 was a non-recurring SAIF
special insurance premium assessment of $1.4 million. Excluding the special
assessment, general and administrative expense would have been $7.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 1996. The increases in 1996 were primarily
attributable to higher compensation and employee benefits, data processing
costs, legal and professional fees, and costs associated with the Company's
expansion of its branch locations and product lines.
Income Tax Expense
Total income tax expense was $623,000 for the year ended December 31,
1996 compared to $414,000 for the comparable period in 1995. This represents an
increase of $209,000 or 50.5%. The increase was due to the increase in taxable
income in 1996 as compared to 1995. The effective tax rate for the year ended
December 31, 1996 was 42.3%, compared to 38.1% for the year ended December 31,
1995.
11
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995
Total assets at December 31, 1996 were $425.8 million compared to
$329.8 million at December 31, 1995, a $96.0 million or 29.1% increase. Asset
growth reflected the Company's assumption of $102.0 million of deposit
liabilities from Fremont Investment and Loan on December 6, 1996, and the
subsequent reinvestment of the related cash proceeds into the Company's
available for sale securities portfolio. Securities available for sale increased
by $83.2 million to $166.6 million at December 31, 1996, due to the investment
of the cash proceeds from the Fremont transaction, partially offset by the sale,
during 1996, of $8.5 million of mortgage backed securities. Total loans
receivable held for investment were $233.2 million at December 31, 1996,
compared to $228.4 million at December 31, 1995, reflecting increases in
outstanding balances of one-to four-family loans and multi-family, commercial
real estate, and land and improvement loans. Loans held for sale were $130,000
at December 31, 1996, compared to $92,000 at December 31, 1995. Currently, the
Company is selling loans only on an individual basis to the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation.
Total liabilities at December 31, 1996 were $380.0 million compared to
$282.2 million at December 31, 1995, a $97.8 million, or 34.7% increase. The
Company's deposits totaled $318.1 million at December 31, 1996, compared to
$215.3 million at December 31, 1995, an increase of $102.9 million primarily due
to the assumption of deposit liabilities in December, 1996. Borrowings declined
to $59.8 million at December 31, 1996, from $63.9 million at December 31, 1995.
At December 31, 1996, stockholders' equity was $45.8 million, compared
to $47.6 million at December 31, 1995. Equity was reduced by $1.8 million during
1996, primarily due to repurchases of the Company's outstanding common stock.
During the third quarter of 1996, the Company paid a cash dividend of $.05 per
share on its outstanding common stock, reducing stockholders' equity by
$165,000. Unrealized losses on securities available for sale at December 31,
1996, compared to unrealized gains at December 31, 1995, resulted in a decrease
of $.6 million in equity.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 1995 and
December 31, 1994
General
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $673,000, a
reduction of $575,000, or 46.1%, from the $1,248,000 in net income for the year
ended December 31, 1994. The operating results of the Company during the year
ended December 31, 1995 were impacted by substantial earning asset growth
resulting from the Conversion, a significant increase in the cost of deposits, a
reduction in noninterest income due to net losses on the sales of securities and
lower mortgage loan servicing fees, and an increase in general and
administrative expenses primarily due to the costs of becoming a publicly-held
entity, increases in occupancy and computer expenses, and increases in employee
compensation. In addition, the Company added substantially to loan loss reserves
during 1995. Increases in the Company's cost of deposits, from 3.85% in 1994 to
4.99% in 1995, reduced the Company's net interest margin from 2.96% for the year
ended December 31, 1994 to 2.65% for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The operating results of the Company during the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994 were also influenced by the February 1993 acquisition of three
branches from the RTC. The acquisition was comprised of deposits totaling
approximately $95.3 million and an approximately equivalent amount of cash. The
cash was reinvested in various mortgage backed securities and other investments.
The addition of the three branches also significantly increased general and
administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.
12
Interest Income
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased by $4.8
million, or 27.1%, to $22.5 million compared to $17.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994. Interest income from loans, which accounted for 79.1% of
total interest income for the year ended December 31, 1995, increased by $2.8
million, or 18.9%, due to a $20.4 million, or 9.2%, increase in the average
balance of loans and the upward repricing of a portion of the Company's
adjustable rate mortgage loans during 1995. Interest income on mortgage backed
securities totaled $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, an
increase of $875,000, or 72.6%. This increase was primarily attributable to the
sale of approximately $13.7 million of low-yielding mortgage backed securities,
followed by purchases of $43.1 million of higher yielding mortgage backed
securities during 1995. Interest income from other investment securities,
federal funds sold, and FHLB stock increased by $1.1 million, or 73.1%, due to
volume and rate increases during 1995.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $14.2 million
compared to $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, a $4.4 million or
44.6% increase. This increase was due to higher rates paid on deposit accounts
and an increase in FHLB advances and other borrowings. Interest expense on
deposits increased $2.6 million, or 33.3%, during 1995 due to higher rates paid
on certificate of deposit accounts. The Company's cost of deposits rose 114
basis points to a weighted average rate of 4.99% in 1995 from 3.85% in 1994. The
Company's cost of certificate of deposit accounts increased 129 basis points to
a weighted average rate of 5.69% in 1995 from 4.40% in 1994. As market interest
rates stabilized and declined slightly during 1995 following a year of rapid
increases, the Company's average cost of deposits continued to rise as long-term
certificate of deposit accounts, opened during a period of lower market interest
rates, matured and were renewed at higher rates. Interest expense on FHLB
advances and other borrowings increased $1.7 million, or 92.1%. Of that amount,
$1.2 million was due to increases in borrowings to fund the purchase of mortgage
backed securities. The remainder of the increase was due to higher rates on
borrowings in 1995.
Provision for Loan Losses
For the year ended December 31, 1995, the provision for loan losses
amounted to $663,000, an increase of $242,000 over 1994. The Company increased
the amount of its reserves in 1995 based upon an evaluation of loan assets,
including a review of mortgage loans which are paid current but upon which
property taxes are delinquent greater than two years. The increased provision in
1995 also reflected, in part, the change in the composition of the loan
portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year ended
December 31, 1994, information received from the OTS following a regulatory
examination, and management's decision to continue to increase the reserve
against potential losses in a weak economic environment. Loans held for
investment at December 31, 1995 totaled $228.4 million, approximately unchanged
from $227.4 million at December 31, 1994. Nonperforming assets increased to
1.39% of gross loans receivable at December 31, 1995 compared to .29% at
December 31, 1994, partially due to the decision of management to place on
nonaccrual status $1.7 million of loans which were performing in accordance with
their contractual terms but were identified as having significant risk
characteristics.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income decreased $475,000, or 45.3%, to $573,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to 1994. This decrease was primarily
attributable to losses of $250,000 from the sale of mortgage backed and
investment securities during 1995, the proceeds of which were used to purchase
higher yielding mortgage backed securities. Mortgage loan servicing fee income
declined in 1995, due to
13
the negative impact of a guaranteed yield maintenance agreement on loans
serviced for another financial institution. The agreement expired in 1996.
General and Administrative Expense
Total general and administrative expense was $7.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995, an increase of approximately $800,000, or 12.7%, over
the $6.3 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 1994. Total
compensation and employee benefits increased $328,000, or 11.1%, primarily due
to expenses related to stock benefit plans including the ESOP, a Recognition and
Retention Plan for Outside Directors, and a Performance Equity Program for
Officers. The purpose of the stock benefit plans is to provide Directors and
employees of the Company with a proprietary interest in the Company in a manner
designed to encourage such persons to remain with the Company. Occupancy and
equipment expenses increased by $66,000, or 7.7%, to $920,000, as the result of
higher depreciation expenses related to the remodeling of branch offices and
general upgrades of computer hardware and software. In 1995, the Company
experienced expense increases related to becoming a publicly held entity,
including higher accounting and legal expenses and $85,000 in Delaware franchise
taxes.
Income Tax Expense
Total income tax expense was $414,000 for the year ended December 31,
1995 compared to $949,000 for the comparable period in 1994. This represents a
decline of $535,000 or 56.4%. This decline was due to the decrease in taxable
income in 1995 as compared to 1994. The effective tax rate for the year ended
December 31, 1995 was 38.1%, compared to 43.2% for the year ended December 31,
1994.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994
Total assets at December 31, 1995 were $329.8 million compared to
$298.3 million at December 31, 1994, a $31.5 million or 10.6% increase. Asset
growth reflected an increase in the Company's securities available for sale,
which grew by $50.2 million, or 151.0%, to $83.4 million at December 31, 1995.
This increase was due to the investment of $12.0 million of the cash proceeds
from the stock conversion into a combination of short to medium term treasury
notes and mortgage backed securities, and a decision by management to leverage
the balance sheet through the purchase of investment securities and mortgage
backed securities funded by reverse repurchase agreements and other
collateralized borrowings. In addition, the Company securitized and exchanged
for mortgage backed securities $15.0 million of 15-year fixed rate mortgage
loans. Total loans receivable held for investment were $228.4 million at
December 31, 1995, essentially unchanged from $227.4 million at December 31,
1994. Loans held for sale were $92,000 at December 31, 1995, compared to $16.1
million at December 31, 1994. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the
Company sold $18.5 million of loans that it originated in 1994 and 1995. As of
December 31, 1995, the Company had fulfilled an obligation to sell loans and was
only designating a small number of its newly originated loans as held for sale.
At December 31, 1995, the Company was selling loans only on an individual basis
to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
Total liabilities at December 31, 1995 were $282.2 million compared to
$275.0 million at December 31, 1994, a $7.2 million, or 26.2% increase. The
increase in liabilities was primarily attributable to an increase in borrowings,
to $63.9 million at December 31, 1995 from $59.8 million at December 31, 1994,
to fund purchases of mortgage backed and investment securities. During the year
ended December 31, 1995, savings deposits increased to $215.3 million from
$214.3 million at December 31, 1994.
Equity increased to $47.6 million at December 31, 1995 from $23.2
million at December 31, 1994. The increase was primarily due to the proceeds of
$24.7 million from the issuance of common stock on February 15, 1995, partially
offset by the repurchase of $2.2 million of treasury stock in December 1995.
Equity increased due to net income of $673,000 and net unrealized gains on
securities available for sale of $169,000.
14
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and
interest payments on loans, FHLB advances and, to a lesser extent, proceeds from
the sale of loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are
predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The
Bank maintains the required minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS
regulations. This requirement, which may be varied at the direction of the OTS
depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage
of deposits and short-term borrowings. The required ratio is currently 5%. The
Bank's average liquidity ratios were 7.7%, 6.1%, and 5.9% for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Management attempts to maintain
a liquidity ratio as close to the minimum as possible, which reflects its
strategy to invest excess liquidity in higher yielding interest earning assets
such as loans. At December 31, 1996, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory
capital requirements with a tangible capital level of $34.4 million, or 8.28% of
total adjusted assets, which was above the required level of $6.2 million or
1.5%; core capital of $34.8 million, or 8.36% of total adjusted assets, which
was above the required level of $12.5 million or 3.00%, and risk-based capital
of $36.1 million, or 19.22% of risk-weighted assets, which was above the
required level of $15.0 million or 8.00%.
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities were $24,000,
$12.0 million, and ($14.4) million for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Net cash used for investing activities consisted primarily of loan
originations and purchases of mortgage backed securities and other investment
securities, offset by principal collections on loans and mortgage backed
securities and proceeds from the sales and maturities of investment securities
and mortgage backed securities. Disbursements on loans originated and purchased
(excluding loans originated for sale) were $36.0 million, $36.0 million, and
$66.8 million for the years 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Principal
payments on loans receivable were $31.2 million, $26.5 million, and $29.3
million during the same periods. Purchases of mortgage backed securities and
investment securities were $122.3 million, $82.6 million, and $32.3 million,
respectively, for 1996, 1995, and 1994. The increase in 1996 was related to
investment purchases made in conjunction with the assumption of deposit
liabilities in December, 1996. Proceeds from sales of investment securities were
$3.2 million, $16.1 million, and $5.2 million, respectively, for the years ended
1996, 1995, and 1994. Proceeds from maturities of investment securities were
$14.9 million and $11.9 million, respectively, in 1996 and 1995. The Company had
no maturities of investment securities in 1994. Proceeds from sales of mortgage
backed securities were $8.4 million, $13.7 million, and $29.0 million, while
cash provided by principal paydowns on mortgage backed securities were $11.8
million, $6.2 million and $3.7 million, for the years ended 1996, 1995, and
1994, respectively.
In 1996, cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of
cash proceeds of $98.4 million received in connection with the assumption of
deposit liabilities, net of core deposit premium. In 1995, the Company received
cash of $24.7 million in proceeds from the sale of common stock. In 1996, cash
used in financing activities included the repayment of $4.4 million of reverse
repurchase agreements and purchases of treasury stock totaling $2.2 million. The
net increase (decrease) in deposits, excluding purchased deposits, was $1.0
million, $1.0 million, and ($4.0 million) for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
The Company's most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments.
The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing,
lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 1996,
cash and short-term investments totaled $5.0 million.
The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional
funds arises, including FHLB advances through the Bank. At December 31, 1996,
the Company had $46.8 million in advances outstanding and $13.0 million of
reverse repurchase agreements with the FHLB. Other sources of liquidity include
investment securities maturing within one year.
15
At December 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding loan commitments of
$2.7 million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds
available to meet its current loan origination commitments. Certificates of
deposit which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from December 31, 1996
totaled $187.9 million.
Impact of Inflation
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement
of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollar
amounts without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of
money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the
increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike industrial companies, nearly
all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a
result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than
do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily
move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and
services.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 ("SFAS 114"),
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 118 ("SFAS 118"), "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures," was effective
January 1, 1995. Under SFAS 114, a loan is impaired when it is probable that a
creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due (i.e., both principal and
interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. SFAS 114
excludes, among other items, large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans
that are collectively evaluated for impairment. If the measure of the impaired
loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, a creditor shall
recognize an impairment by recording a valuation allowance with a corresponding
charge to bad debt expense. SFAS 118 eliminates the income recognition
provisions included in SFAS 114, thereby permitting the use of existing methods
for recognizing interest income on impaired loans. The Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 effective January 1, 1995.
In November 1993, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued SOP 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership
Plans" which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993.
The Company began applying SOP 93-6 during its fiscal year beginning July 1,
1994. SOP 93-6 requires the application of its guidance for shares acquired by
ESOPs after December 31, 1992, but not yet committed to be released as of the
beginning of the year SOP 93-6 is adopted. Among other things, SOP 93-6 changed
the measure of compensation expense recorded by employers for leveraged ESOPs
from the cost of ESOP shares to the fair value of ESOP shares. Under SOP 93-6,
the Company recognizes compensation cost equal to the fair value of the ESOP
shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released. To the
extent that the fair value of the Company's ESOP shares differ from the cost of
such shares, this differential is charged or credited to equity. Employers with
internally leveraged ESOPs such as the Company will not report the loan
receivable from the ESOP as an asset and will not report the ESOP debt from the
employer as a liability. See "Management of the Company Benefits - Employee
Stock Ownership Plan and Trust."
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. During 1996, the
Company sold $2.6 million of loans in the secondary market and recorded $21,000
of originated mortgage servicing rights on those loans.
16
In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No.
123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," which established
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 had the option to 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, and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB)
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for its stock
options.
In June 1996, SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," was issued. This statement
establishes standards for when transfers of financial assets, including those
with continuing involvement by the transferor, should be considered a sale. SFAS
No. 125 also establishes standards for when a liability should be considered
extinguished. In December 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB
Statement No. 125." SFAS No. 127 reconsiders certain provisions of SFAS 125 and
defers for one year the effective date of implementation for transactions
related to repurchase agreements, dollar-roll repurchase agreements, securities
lending, and similar transactions. This statement is effective for transfers of
assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996,
applied prospectively. Earlier adoption or retroactive application of these
statements is not permitted. SFAS Nos. 125 and 127 are not expected to have a
material effect on the Bank's financial statements.
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and
used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable.
Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future
cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and identifiable
intangibles that management expects to hold and use are based on the fair value
of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost
to sell.

The Board of Directors
Monterey Bay Bancorp, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of Monterey Bay Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Monterey Bay Bancorp,
Inc. and subsidiary at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies of Monterey Bay Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Company") are as follows:
Basis of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Monterey
Bay Bank (the "Bank," formerly Watsonville Federal Savings and Loan
Association), and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, Portola
Investment Corporation ("Portola"). All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The
Company is a Delaware corporation, organized by the Bank for the
purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of the Bank issued upon
the 1995 conversion of the Bank from a federally chartered mutual
savings and loan association to a federally chartered stock savings and
loan association (the "Conversion"). On February 14, 1995, the Company
completed its initial public offering in connection with the Conversion
and began trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MBBC"
on February 15, 1995. All amounts prior to the completion of the
Conversion relate to the Bank. The Company, the holding company of the
Bank, engages only in limited business operations primarily involving
investments in mortgage backed securities and other investment
securities.
Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. A percentage of the Company's transaction account
liabilities are subject to Federal Reserve requirements. The Company's
Federal Reserve requirement was $193,000 and $167,000, respectively, at
December 31, 1996 and 1995.
Certificates of deposit are interest bearing deposits in federally
insured financial institutions with original maturities of more than
three months.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, establishes
classification of investments into three categories: held to maturity,
trading, and available for sale. The Company identifies securities as
either held to maturity or available for sale. The Company has no
trading securities. Securities available for sale increase the
Company's portfolio management flexibility for investments and are
reported at fair value. Net unrealized gains and losses are excluded
from earnings and reported net of applicable income taxes as a separate
component of stockholders' equity until realized. Gains or losses on
sales of securities are recorded in earnings at the time of sale and
are determined by the difference between the net sales proceeds and the
cost of the security, using the specific identification method,
adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount. The adoption of SFAS
115 in 1995 resulted in the reclassification of certain securities from
the securities held for investment portfolio to the securities
available for sale portfolio.
Any permanent decline in the fair value of individual securities held
to maturity and securities available for sale below their cost would be
recognized through a write down of the investment securities to their
fair value by a charge to earnings as a realized loss.
Securities held to maturity, consisting of mortgage backed securities
and investment securities held for long-term investment, are carried at
amortized cost as the Company has the ability to hold
24
these securities to maturity and because it is management's intention
to hold these securities to maturity. Premiums and discounts on
mortgage backed securities are amortized using the interest method over
the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for actual and
estimated prepayments. Premiums and discounts on investment securities
are amortized and accreted into interest income on the interest method
over the period to maturity. Gains and losses on the sale of mortgage
backed securities and investment securities are determined using the
specific identification method. In limited circumstances, as specified
in the provisions of SFAS 115, the Company may transfer or sell
securities from the held to maturity portfolio.
In December 1995, the Company transferred $15.0 million of
held-to-maturity securities to the available-for-sale portfolio in
accordance with guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") on SFAS 115. The FASB allowed the reclassification of
investments in debt securities to available for sale from held to
maturity during the period November 15, 1995 through December 31, 1995
without tainting the classification of the remaining held-to-maturity
portfolio. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the banking
regulatory agencies concurred with the FASB on this issue.
Transfers of securities available for sale to securities held to
maturity portfolio are recorded at fair value. The related net
unrealized holding gains or losses, net of applicable income taxes, at
the date of transfer are reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity and amortized over the remaining contractual life
of these securities using the interest method.
Loans Held for Sale - During the period of origination, real estate
loans are designated as either held for sale or held for investment.
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated
market value, determined on an aggregate basis, and include loan
origination costs and related fees. Transfers of loans held for sale to
the held for investment portfolio are recorded at the lower of cost or
market value on the transfer date. Net unrealized losses are recognized
through an adjustment of the loan carrying values by charges to
earnings.
Loans receivable held for investment are carried at cost adjusted for
unamortized premiums and discounts and net of deferred loan origination
fees and allowance for loan losses. These loans are not adjusted to the
lower of cost or market because it is management's intention, and the
Company has the ability, to hold these loans to maturity.
Loan Origination Fees - The Company charges fees for originating loans.
These fees, net of certain related direct loan origination costs, are
deferred. The net deferred fees for loans held as investments are
recognized as an adjustment of the loan's yield over the expected life
of the loan using the interest method, which results in a constant rate
of return. When a loan is paid off or sold, the unamortized balance of
any related fees and costs is recognized as income. Other loan fees and
charges representing service costs are reported in income when
collected or earned.
Originated Mortgage Serving Rights - 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.
During 1996, the Company sold $2.6 million of loans in the secondary
market and recorded $21,000 of
25
originated mortgage servicing rights on those loans. During 1995, the
Company securitized $15.0 million of mortgage loans and recorded
$118,000 of originated mortgage servicing rights.
Sales of Loans - Gains or losses resulting from sales of loans are
recorded at the time of sale and are determined by the difference
between the net sales proceeds and the carrying value of the assets
sold. When the right to service the loans is retained, a gain or loss
is recognized based upon the net present value of expected amounts to
be received resulting from the difference between the contractual
interest rates received from the borrowers and the rate paid to the
buyer, taking into account estimated prepayments and a normal servicing
fee on such loans. The net assets resulting from the present value
computation, representing deferred expense, are amortized to operations
over the estimated remaining life of the loan using a method that
approximates the interest method. The balance of deferred premium and
expense and the amortization thereon are periodically evaluated in
relation to estimated future net servicing revenues, taking into
consideration changes in interest rates, current prepayment rates, and
expected future cash flows. The Company evaluates the carrying value of
the servicing portfolio by estimating the future net servicing income
of the portfolio based on management's best estimate of remaining loan
lives.
Interest on loans is credited to income when earned. Interest is not
recognized on loans that are considered to be uncollectible. Loans are
placed on a nonaccrual status when they become 90 days delinquent and
an allowance is established for previously accrued but uncollected
interest on such loans. Subsequent collections of delinquent interest
are recognized as interest income when received.
Impaired and Nonperforming Loans - Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114 ("SFAS 114"), Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 118 ("SFAS 118"), Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
- Income Recognition and Disclosures, was effective January 1, 1995.
Under SFAS 114, a loan is impaired when it is probable that a creditor
will be unable to collect all amounts due (i.e., both principal and
interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
SFAS 114 excludes, among other items, large groups of smaller balance
homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. SFAS
118 eliminates the income recognition provisions included in SFAS 114,
thereby permitting the use of existing methods for recognizing interest
income on impaired loans.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 effective
January 1, 1995. The adoption of SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 has not had a
significant impact on the financial position or the earnings of the
Company.
The Company has established a monitoring system for its loans in order
to identify impaired loans, potential problem loans, and to permit
periodic evaluation of the adequacy of allowances for losses in a
timely manner. Total loans include the following portfolios: (i)
residential one- to four-family loans, (ii) multi-family loans, (iii)
commercial real estate loans, (iv) construction and land loans, and (v)
non-mortgage loans. In analyzing these loans, the Company has
established specific monitoring policies and procedures suitable for
the relative risk profile and other characteristics of the loans within
the various portfolios. The Company's residential one- to four-family
and non-mortgage loans, where the aggregate loans to one borrower is
less than $500,000, are considered to be relatively homogeneous and no
single loan is individually significant in terms of its size or
potential risk of loss. Therefore, the Company generally reviews its
residential one-to four-family and non-mortgage loans, where the
aggregate loans to one borrower is less than $500,000, by
26
analyzing their performance and composition of their collateral for the
portfolio as a whole. For non-homogeneous loans, including loans to one
borrower that in aggregate exceed $500,000, the Company conducts a
periodic review of each loan. The frequency and type of review is
dependent upon the inherent risk attributed to each loan, and is
directly proportionate to the adversity of the loan grade. The Company
evaluates the risk of loss and default for each loan subject to
individual monitoring.
Factors considered as part of the periodic loan review process to
determine whether a loan is impaired, as defined under SFAS 114,
address both the amount the Company believes is probable that it will
collect and the timing of such collection. As part of the Company's
loan review process the Company considers such factors as the ability
of the borrower to continue meeting the debt service requirements,
assessments of other sources of repayment, the fair value of any
collateral and the creditor's prior history in dealing with these types
of credits. In evaluating whether a loan is considered impaired,
insignificant delays (less than six months) or shortfalls (less than 5%
of the payment amount) in payment amounts, in the absence of other
facts and circumstances, would not alone lead to the conclusion that a
loan is impaired.
Any loans which meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring,
or are partially or completely classified as Doubtful or Loss, are
considered impaired. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had $354,000
of restructured loans and $1,000 of loans which had been classified as
Doubtful or Loss. At December 31, 1995, the Company had no restructured
loans, and $1,000 of loans classified as Doubtful or Loss.
Loans on which the Company has ceased the accrual of interest
("nonaccrual loans") constitute the primary component of the portfolio
of nonperforming loans. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status
when the payment of interest is 90 days or more delinquent, or if the
loan is in the process of foreclosure.
When a loan is designated as impaired, the Company measures impairment
based on the fair value of the collateral of the collateral-dependent
loan. The amount by which the recorded investment of the loan exceeds
the measure of the impaired loan is recognized by recording a valuation
allowance with a corresponding charge to earnings. The Company charges
off a portion of an impaired loan against the valuation allowance when
it is probable that there is no possibility of recovering the full
amount of the impaired loan.
Payments received on impaired loans are recorded as a reduction of
principal or as interest income depending on management's assessment of
the ultimate collectibility of the loan principal. The amount of
interest income recognized is limited to the amount of interest that
would have accrued at the loans' contractual rate applied to the
recorded loan balance. Any difference is recorded as a loan loss
recovery.
Allowances for loan losses are maintained at levels that management
deems adequate to cover estimated losses and are continually reviewed
and adjusted. The Company adheres to an internal asset review system
and an established loan loss reserve methodology. Management evaluates
factors such as the prevailing and anticipated economic conditions,
historic loss experiences, composition of the loan portfolio by
property type, levels, and trends of classified loans, and loan
delinquencies in assessing overall valuation allowance levels to be
maintained. While management uses currently available information to
provide for losses on loans, additions to the allowance may be
necessary based on new information and/or future economic conditions.
27
When the property collateralizing a delinquent mortgage loan is
foreclosed on by the Company and transferred to real estate owned, the
difference between the loan balance and the fair value of the property
less estimated selling costs is charged off against the allowance for
loan losses.
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. The Company's policy is to depreciate
furniture and equipment on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the various assets and to amortize leasehold
improvements over the shorter of the asset life or lease term as
follows:
Buildings 40 to 50 years
Leasehold improvements Lesser of term of lease or life of improvement
Furniture and equipment 3 to 10 years
The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to operations as
incurred, whereas expenditures that improve or extend the service lives
of assets are capitalized.
Core deposit intangibles arise from the acquisition of deposits and are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the
deposit base acquired, generally seven years. The Company continually
evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether later events
and circumstances warrant revised estimates. The carrying values of
unamortized core deposit intangibles at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were
$4.0 million and $651,000 respectively. Accumulated amortization of
core deposit intangibles at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $1.2
million and $869,000, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Determination of
recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash
flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and
identifiable intangibles that management expects to hold and use are
based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of are reported at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Stock Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock based awards
to employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees."
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
("SFAS 109"), Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and
liability method prescribed by SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized using currently applicable tax rates for the
future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the
enactment date. Future tax benefits attributable to temporary
differences are recognized to the extent the realization of such
benefits is more likely than not.
28
Commissions from annuity sales arise from Portola's sale of tax
deferred annuities. Income is based on a percentage of sales which
varies based on the annuity sold and is recognized as income upon
receipt.
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding, adjusted for the unearned shares of the employee stock
ownership plan. On February 14, 1995, the Company issued 3,593,750
shares in connection with the formation of a holding company and the
Bank's Conversion. Common shares outstanding included 287,500 shares
purchased by the Bank's employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"). Since
the Conversion, the Company has repurchased 350,387 shares, or
approximately ten percent of the Company's outstanding shares. Net
income and common shares outstanding for the period from February 15,
1995 to December 31, 1995 were used to compute earnings per share for
the year ended December 31, 1995. For the years ending December 31,
1996 and 1995, the Company had 3,123,481 and 3,565,197, respectively,
of weighted average shares outstanding. The Company's fully diluted
earnings per share does not differ materially from its primary earnings
per share, therefore it has not been separately reported.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In June 1996, SFAS No. 125,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities, was issued. This statement establishes
standards for when transfers of financial assets, including those with
continuing involvement by the transferor, should be considered a sale.
SFAS No. 125 also establishes standards for when a liability should be
considered extinguished. In December 1996, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 127, Deferral of the Effective Date of
Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125. SFAS No. 127 reconsiders
certain provisions of SFAS 125 and defers for one year the effective
date of implementation for transactions related to repurchase
agreements, dollar-roll repurchase agreements, securities lending, and
similar transactions. This statement is effective for transfers of
assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31,
1996, applied prospectively. Earlier adoption or retroactive
application of these statements is not permitted. SFAS Nos. 125 and 127
are not expected to have a material effect on the Bank's financial
statements.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the 1994 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 and 1996
presentation.

In 1995, the Company transferred, at market value, $7.4 million of
loans held for sale to loans held for investment, and recorded a lower
of cost or market adjustment of $35,000 through earnings. No such
transfers occurred in 1996.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company was servicing loans for
others with unpaid principal of $61,303,000 and $68,842,000,
respectively. Servicing loans for others generally consists of
collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing
payments to investors, and conducting foreclosure proceedings. Loan
servicing income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes
servicing fees from investors and certain charges collected from
borrowers, such as late payment fees. Income from loan servicing
amounted to $194,000 and $21,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. At December 31, 1996, the Company had $242,000
in escrow accounts for taxes and insurance.

A loan is designated "impaired" when the Company determines it may be
unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of
the loan agreement, whether or not the loan is 90 days past due (see
Note 1). In addition, all loans designated as partially or completely
classified as Doubtful or Loss, and loans which meet the definition of
a troubled debt restructuring, are considered impaired.
The following table identifies the Company's total recorded investment
in impaired loans by type at December 31, 1996 and 1995 (dollars in

The related valuation allowances on impaired loans at December 31, 1996
and 1995 were $82,900 and $108,900, respectively, which were included
as part of the allowance for loan losses in the Consolidated Statements
of Financial Condition. The provision for losses and any related
recoveries are recorded as part of the provision for estimated losses
on loans in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company recognized interest on
impaired loans of $145,000 and $61,000, respectively. Interest not
recognized on impaired loans at December 31, 1995 amounted to $60,000.
No impaired loans were on nonaccrual status at December 31, 1996, and
therefore no interest was uncollected on impaired loans. During the
year ended December 31, 1996, the Company's average investment in
impaired loans was $862,000, compared to $483,000 in 1995.
35
Nonperforming loans consist of restructured loans not performing in
accordance with their restructured terms, and all nonaccrual loans.
Nonaccrual loans are loans on which the Company has ceased the accrual
of interest for any one of the following reasons: (a) the payment of
interest is 90 days or more delinquent, (b) the loan is in the process
of foreclosure, or (c) the collection of interest and/or principal is
not probable under the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
Nonperforming assets include all nonperforming loans and REO.
Nonperforming assets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows
(dollars in thousands).

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had $1,393,000 and
$1,545,000, respectively, of nonaccrual loans past due 90 days or more.
In addition, at December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had $2.9
million and $1.7 million, respectively, of loans which were less than
90 days delinquent but were identified as having risk characteristics
which indicated that collection of principal and interest may not be
certain. For the years ended 1996 and 1995, the effect on interest
income had nonaccrual and other impaired loans been performing in
accordance with contractual terms was approximately $89,000 and
$60,000, respectively.
Loans that have had a modification of terms are individually reviewed
to determine if they meet the definition of a troubled debt
restructuring. At December 31, 1996, the Company had three loans
totaling $354,000 which met the definition of a troubled debt
restructuring, all of which were current and paying according to the
terms of their contractually restructured agreements on December 31,
1996. The Company had no restructured loans at December 31, 1995.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, all nonperforming loans were secured by
properties located within the state of California.

During 1995, the Company originated a one- to four-family residential
loan of $181,000 to facilitate the sale of REO. No interest rate or
term concessions were made on the loan. The Company made no other loans
to facilitate sales during 1996 or 1995.
The Company made conforming loans to executive officers, directors,
subsidiary, and their affiliates in the ordinary course of business. An
analysis of the activity of these loans is as follows (dollars in
thousands):

Under Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations, the Company may
not make real estate loans to one borrower in an amount exceeding 15%
of the Bank's unimpaired capital and surplus, plus an additional 10%
for loans secured by readily marketable collateral. At December 31,
1996 and 1995, such limitation would have been approximately $5,414,600
and $5,845,600, respectively. There were no loans outstanding in excess
of this limitation.
The majority of the Company's loans are secured by real estate
primarily located in Santa Cruz, Monterey, Santa Clara, and San Benito
counties. The Company's credit risk is therefore primarily related to
the economic conditions of this region. Loans are generally made on the
basis of a secure repayment source which is based on a detailed cash
flow analysis; however, collateral is generally a secondary source for
loan qualification. It is the Company's policy to originate loans with
a loan to value ratio on secured loans greater than 80% with private
mortgage insurance. Management believes this practice mitigates the
Company's risk of loss.

6. INVESTMENT IN FHLB STOCK
As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB"),
the Bank is required to own capital stock in an amount specified by
regulation. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Bank owned 50,404 and
25,421 shares, respectively, of $100 par value FHLB stock. The amount
of stock owned meets the last annual regulatory determination. Each
Federal Home Loan Bank is authorized to make advances to its members,
subject to such regulation and limitations as the OTS may prescribe
(see Note 9).

Legislation regarding bad debt recapture was signed into law by the
President during the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The new law
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 believes that the newly enacted bad debt
recapture legislation will not have a material impact on the operations
of the Company.
In accordance with SFAS 109, a deferred tax liability has not been
recognized for the tax bad debt reserves of the Company that arose in
tax years that began prior to December 31, 1987. At December 31, 1996,
the portion of the tax bad debt reserves attributable to pre-1988 tax
years was
42
approximately $5,700,000. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax
liability could be recognized if, in the future, there is a change in
federal tax law, the savings institution fails to meet the definition
of a "qualified savings institution," or the bad debt reserve is used
for any purpose other than absorbing bad debt losses.
12. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER REGULATORY
MATTERS
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classification are
also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible
additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial
statements. Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the Bank
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
(FIRREA) requires the Bank to meet certain minimum capital standards.
Under these standards the Bank must maintain core capital in an amount
not less than 3% of tangible assets plus qualifying intangibles,
tangible capital in an amount not less than 1.5% of tangible assets,
and risk-based capital in an amount not less than 8.0% of risk-weighted
assets. At December 31, 1996, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded
the minimum requirement of each regulatory capital standard in effect
on that date as follows (dollars in thousands):

The OTS's prompt corrective action standards have established five
capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized,
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically
undercapitalized. The regulations provide that a savings institution is
well capitalized if its risk-based capital to risk weighted assets
ratio is 10% or greater, its core capital to risk-weighted assets ratio
is 6% or greater, its leverage ratio, or ratio of core capital to
adjusted total assets, is 5% or greater, and the institution is not
subject to a capital directive. As of December 31, 1996, the most
recent notification from the OTS categorized the Bank as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the institution's category. The Bank
exceeded the minimum requirement guidelines to be categorized as a well
capitalized institution at December 31, 1996 and 1995 as follows
(dollars in thousands):

Total risk based 36,097 19.22% 18,783 10.00% 39,131 24.42% 16,021 10.00%
At periodic intervals, both the OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") routinely examine the Company's financial
statements as part of their legally prescribed oversight of the savings
and loan industry. Based on these examinations, the regulators can
direct that a savings and loan association's financial statements be
adjusted in accordance with their findings.
A future examination by the OTS or FDIC could include a review of
certain transactions or other amounts reported in the Company's
financial statements. The extent, if any, to which a forthcoming
regulatory examination may ultimately result in adjustments to the
financial statements cannot presently be determined.
44
Currently, the OTS has deferred implementation of the interest rate
risk component of its regulatory capital rule, under which savings
associations with "above normal" (i.e. greater than 2%) interest rate
risk exposure would be subject to a deduction from total risk-based
capital. If the Bank had been subject to adding an interest rate risk
component to its risk-based capital standard at December 31, 1996, the
Bank's total risk-weighted capital would have been reduced from 19.22%
to 16.24%. At December 31, 1996, the Bank met each of its capital
requirements, in each case on a fully phased-in basis.
Federal legislation to recapitalize and fully fund the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) was signed into law on September 30,
1996. The legislation imposed a special one-time assessment on
SAIF-member institutions, including the Bank, of 65.7 basis points on
SAIF assessable deposits held as of March 31, 1995. The Company
recorded a pre-tax expense of $1.4 million in 1996 ($815,000 after-tax
or $.26 per share) as a result of the FDIC special assessment.
The legislation also spreads the obligations for payment of the
Financing Corporation ("FICO") bonds across all SAIF and BIF members.
Beginning on January 1, 1997, BIF deposits will be assessed for FICO
payments at a rate of 20% of the rate assessed on SAIF deposits. Based
on current estimates by the FDIC, BIF deposits will be assessed a FICO
payment of 1.3 basis points, while SAIF deposits will pay an estimated
6.5 basis points on the FICO bonds. Full pro rata sharing of the FICO
payments between BIF and SAIF members will occur on the earlier of
January 1, 2000 or the date the BIF and SAIF are merged. The Funds Act
specifies that the BIF and SAIF will be merged on January 1, 1999
provided no savings associations remain as of that time.
As a result of the Funds Act, the FDIC recently proposed to lower SAIF
assessments to 0 to 27 basis points effective January 1, 1997, a range
comparable to that of BIF members. However, SAIF members will continue
to make the higher FICO payments described above. Management cannot
predict the level of FDIC insurance assessments on an on-going basis,
whether the savings charter will be eliminated, or whether the BIF and
SAIF will eventually be merged.
The Company's assessment rate for fiscal 1996 was 26 basis points.
Excluding the special premium insurance assessment, the Company paid
SAIF deposit insurance premiums of $532,000 in 1996, compared to
$516,000 in 1995.

13. INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company is engaged principally in providing first mortgage,
commercial real estate, land, and construction loans to individuals. At
December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately $232,123,000 and $227,223,000
of the Company's assets were comprised of loans secured by real estate.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the mortgage loan portfolio consisted of
63% adjustable rate and 37% fixed rate mortgages.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the composition of adjustable and fixed
rate loans was as follows (dollars in thousands):
December 31,
----------------------
1996 1995
Adjustable Rate:

1 month to 1 year $128,510 $133,871

Over 20 years 73,656 73,643
-------- --------
Total $ 86,385 $ 85,845
======== ========
The adjustable rate loans have interest rate adjustment limitations and
are indexed to the Federal Home Loan Bank Eleventh District cost of
funds, the six-month London Interbank Overnight Rate, and the one-year
U.S. government treasury rate. Future market factors may affect the
correlation of the interest rate adjustment with the rates the Company
pays on the short-term deposits that have been primarily utilized to
fund these loans.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had interest earning assets of
$407,780,000, having a weighted average effective yield of 7.54% (the
total of weighted average maturities for fixed rate assets and weighted
average period to adjustments for adjustable rate assets), and interest
bearing liabilities of approximately $377,952,000, having a weighted
average effective interest rate of 5.10%.
At December 31, 1995, the Company had interest earning assets of
$319,345,000, having a weighted average effective yield of 7.32%, and
interest bearing liabilities of approximately $279,165,000, having a
weighted average effective interest rate of 5.25%.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company was obligated under
non-cancelable operating leases for office space. Certain leases
contain escalation clauses providing for increased rentals based
primarily on increases in real estate taxes or on the average consumer
price index. Rent expense under operating leases, included in occupancy
and equipment expense, was approximately $158,000, $154,000 and
$175,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
Certain branches are leased by the Company under the terms of operating
leases expiring at various dates through the year 2003. At December 31,
1996, the minimum rental commitments, including renewal options, under
all non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of
more than one year were as follows (dollars in thousands):
1997 $135

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off balance sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of
its customers. These financial instruments represent commitments to
fund loans and involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate
risk and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Credit risk is
mitigated by the Company's evaluation of the creditworthiness of
potential borrowers on a case-by-case basis.
Commitments to fund loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have expiration dates or other termination
clauses. Also, external market forces may impact the probability of
commitments being exercised; therefore, total commitments outstanding
do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At December 31,
1996, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of
$2,694,000.
16. STOCK BENEFIT PLANS
On August 24, 1995, the stockholders of the Company approved the 1995
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). Under the Stock
Option Plan, 271,507 stock options were granted to the executive
officers and officers of the Company and its affiliate, the Bank. Each
option entitles the holder to purchase one share of the common stock at
the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options are
exercisable in whole or in part over five years, commencing one year
after the date of grant. However, all options become 100% exercisable
in the event that the employee terminates his employment due to death,
disability, or, to the extent not prohibited by the OTS, in the event
of a change in control of the Company or the Bank. An additional 4,733
options have been reserved for future grant. At December 31, 1996,
52,289 of the options granted were exercisable. No options had been
exercised to that date.
The Company also maintains the 1995 Stock Option Plan for Outside
Directors (the "Directors' Option Plan"), approved by the stockholders
of the Company on August 24, 1995. Each member of the Board of
Directors who is not an officer or employee of the Company or the Bank
was granted a non-statutory option to purchase shares of the common
stock. In the aggregate, members of the Board of Directors of the
Company were granted options to purchase 78,343 shares of common stock
at an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on
the date of grant. Options are exercisable in whole or in part over
five years, commencing one year after the date of grant. However, all
options become 100% exercisable in the event that the Director
terminates membership on the Board of Directors due to death,
disability, or, to the extent not prohibited by the OTS, in the event
of a change in control of the Company or the Bank. At December 31,
1996, 15,669 of the options granted were exercisable. No options had
been exercised to that date.

The Bank has established an Employee Stock Owner Plan and Trust
("ESOP") for eligible employees. Full-time employees employed with the
Company or Bank as of January 1, 1995, and full-time employees of the
Company or the Bank employed after such date who have been credited
with at least 1,000 hours during a twelve-month period, have attained
age 21, and were employed on the last business day of the year are
eligible to participate.
On February 14, 1995, the Conversion date, the ESOP borrowed $2.3
million from the Company and used the funds to purchase 287,500 shares
of common stock issued in the Conversion. The loan is being repaid
principally by contributions by the Bank to the ESOP, but may be paid
from the Company's discretionary contributions to the ESOP over a ten
year period. At December 31, 1996, the loan had an outstanding balance
of $1.8 million and an interest rate of 8.0%. Interest expense for the
obligation was $166,000 and $184,000, respectively, for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995. Shares purchased with the loan proceeds are
held in trust for allocation among participants as the loan is paid.
Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the loan collateral
in an amount proportional to the repayment of the ESOP loan is
allocated among participants on the basis of compensation, as described
in the plan, in the year of allocation. Benefits generally become 100%
vested after seven years of credited service. However, in the event of
retirement, disability or death, as defined in the plan, any unvested
portion of benefits shall vest immediately. Forfeitures will be
reallocated among participating employees, in the same proportion as
contributions. Benefits are payable upon separation from service based
on vesting status and share allocations made. As of December 31, 1996,
57,500 shares were allocated to participants and committed to be
released. As shares are released from collateral, the shares become
outstanding for earnings per share computations. As of December 31,
1996, the fair market value of the 230,000 unearned shares was
$3,392,500.
The Company maintains a Performance Equity Program for Officers and a
Recognition and Retention Plan for Outside Directors (the "RRP"). The
purpose of the RRP is to provide executive officers, officers, and
directors of the Company with a proprietary interest in the Company in
a manner designed to encourage such persons to remain with the Company.
A trust established for the RRP acquired an aggregate of 143,750 shares
of the Company's common stock during 1995 and 1996; 19,980 grant shares
vested and were issued during 1996; 106,417 shares are the subject of
outstanding awards to officers and directors and 17,353 remain reserved
for future awards. Awards vest at a rate of 20% per year for directors
and officers, commencing one year from the date of award. Awards become
100% vested upon termination of employment due to death,
50
disability, or following a change in control of the Company. Some
awards are based on the attainment of certain performance goals and are
forfeited it such goals are not met. In 1996, 6,438 shares were
forfeited due to unmet goals and 5,032 shares were forfeited due to
cessation of employment.
The Company recorded compensation expense for the ESOP and RRP of
$599,000 and $326,000 respectively, for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995.
In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No.
123 ("SFAS 123"), Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, which
established 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 had the option to 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, and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock issued to Employees," in accounting for its stock
options. Had compensation cost been determined in accordance with SFAS
No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have
been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below (dollars in
thousands).

17. 401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN
The Company maintains a profit sharing plan for employees who are 21
years of age and who have been employed for 90 days and have completed
1,000 hours of service. Effective December 1, 1993, the Company amended
the Plan to offer a 401(k) feature. Expense for the 401(k) profit
sharing plan amounted to $144,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994.
In 1994, the Company contributed 15% of the eligible salaries of
eligible participants to the 401(k) plan. The Company did not
contribute any portion of employees' salaries to the 401(k) plan in
1995 and 1996.
The trust that administers the 401(k) profit sharing plan had assets of
$1,288,000 and $1,081,000 at other financial institutions as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
18. SALARY CONTINUATION AND RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company maintains a Salary Continuation Plan for the benefit of
certain officers and a Retirement Plan for members of the Board of
Directors of the Company. Officers participating in the Salary
Continuation Plan are entitled to receive a monthly payment for a
period of 10 years upon retirement. Directors of the Company who have
served on the Board of Directors for a minimum of nine years are
entitled under the Retirement Plan to receive a quarterly payment equal
to the amount of their quarterly retainer fee in effect at the date of
retirement for a period of ten years. The Salary Continuation Plan and
the Retirement Plan provide that payments will be accelerated upon the
death of a Participant or in the event of a change in control of the
Company. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, there were eight officers
and Directors participating in the Plan.
The actuarial present value of the accumulated plan benefit obligation,
calculated using a discount rate of 7.5%, was $914,000 at December 31,
1996 and $820,000 at December 31, 1995. Plan assets are not separately
segregated for purposes of paying benefits under the Salary
Continuation and Retirement Plans. The Company accrued pension
liability expenses of $35,000 and $94,000 under the Plans for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1994, respectively. The Company did not
accrue pension expenses during 1995. Such expense amounts approximated
an actuarial computed net periodic plan costs for each period. Prepaid
pension costs are immaterial to the Consolidated Statement of Financial
Condition. As such, no prepaid plan costs are included in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
19. PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company and its subsidiary, the Bank, file consolidated federal
income tax returns in which the taxable income or loss of the Company
is combined with that of the Bank. The Company's share of income tax
expense is based on the amount which would be payable if separate
returns were filed. Accordingly, the Company's equity in the net income
of its subsidiaries (distributed and undistributed) is excluded from
the computation of the provision for income taxes for financial
statement purposes.

The following presents Parent Company summary statements of financial
condition, operations, and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1996 (dollars in thousands). The Company had no operations
prior to 1995 and accordingly, summary operations data is not
presented.

20. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of the Company's
financial instruments is in accordance with the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments ("SFAS 107"). The estimated fair value amounts
have been computed by the Company using quoted market prices where
available or other appropriate valuation methodologies as discussed
below.
The following factors should be considered in assessing the accuracy
and usefulness of the estimated fair value data discussed below:
o Because no market exists for a significant portion of the
Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on
judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current
economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial
instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in
nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant
54
judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.
Changes in these assumptions could significantly affect the
estimates.
o These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could
result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire
holding of a particular financial asset.
o SFAS 107 excludes from its disclosure requirements certain
financial instruments and various significant assets and
liabilities that are not considered to be financial instruments.
Because of these limitations, the aggregate fair value amounts
presented in the following tables do not represent the underlying value
of the Company at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
computing the estimated fair values:
a. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Certificates of Deposit and Federal
Home Loan Bank Stock - Current carrying amounts approximate
their estimated fair value.
b. Mortgage backed Securities and Investment Securities - Fair
value of these securities are based on year-end quoted market
prices.
c. Loans Held for Sale - The fair value of these loans has been
based on market prices of similar loans traded in the
secondary market.
d. Loans Receivable Held for Investment - For fair value
estimation purposes, these loans have been categorized by type
of loan (e.g., one- to four-unit residential) and then further
segmented between adjustable or fixed rates. Where possible,
the fair value of these groups of loans has been based on
secondary market prices for loans with similar
characteristics. The fair value of the remaining loans has
been estimated by discounting the future cash flows using
current interest rates being offered for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Prepayment
estimates were based on historical experience and published
data for similar loans.
e. Demand Deposits - Current carrying amounts approximate
estimated fair value.
f. Certificate Accounts - Fair value has been estimated by
discounting the contractual cash flows using current market
rates offered in the Company's market area for deposits with
comparable terms and maturities.
g. FHLB Advances - Fair value was estimated by discounting the
contractual cash flows using current market rates offered for
advances with comparable terms and maturities.
h. Commitments to Extend Credit - The majority of the Company's
commitments to extend credit carry current market interest
rates if converted to loans. Because commitments to extend
credit are generally unassignable by either the Company or the
borrower, they only have value to the Company and the
borrower. The Company does not have deferred commitment fees
on loans prior to origination.
55
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's

21. LIQUIDATION ACCOUNT
At the time of the Conversion, the Bank established a liquidation
account in an amount equal to its equity as of September 30, 1994. The
liquidation account is maintained by the Bank for the benefit of
depositors as of the eligibility record date who continue to maintain
their accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The liquidation
account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders
have reduced their qualifying deposits as of each anniversary date.
Subsequent increases do not restore an eligible account holder's
interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete
liquidation of the Bank (and only in such an event), each eligible
account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the
liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted
qualifying balances for accounts then held, before any liquidation
distribution may be made with respect to the stockholders. Except for
the repurchase of stock and payment of dividends by the Company, the
existence of the liquidation account will not restrict the use or
application of such net worth. At December 31, 1996, the amount of the
remaining balance in this liquidation account was approximately
$4,371,000.
The Company may not declare or pay a cash dividend on, or repurchase
any of, its common stock if the effect thereof would cause the equity
of the Bank to be reduced below either the amount required for the
liquidation account or the net worth requirement imposed by the OTS.
The payment of dividends to the Company by the Bank is subject to OTS
regulations.
