   1. Basis of Presentation
      ---------------------

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
   PNB Financial Group (the "Bank Holding Company") and its wholly-owned
   subsidiary, Pacific National Bank (the "Bank"), (collectively, the
   "Company").  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
   eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
   adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring accruals) which are, in the
   opinion of Management, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
   position of the Company at June 30, 1997, and the consolidated results of
   operations and statements of cash flows for the six and three month periods
   ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996.  Results for the six and three months
   ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be
   expected for any other interim period, or for the year as a whole.  These
   condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures
   associated with the Company's annual financial statements and, accordingly,
   should be read in conjunction with such statements.

   2. Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
      ------------------------------------

      For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company defines cash and cash
   equivalents as cash on hand, cash due from banks, interest-bearing deposits
   in other banks and federal funds sold.

   3. Preferred Stock
      ---------------

      The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares, no par value, preferred
   stock.  No shares of preferred stock have been issued.

   4. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards - Earnings Per Share
      -------------------------------------------------------------------

      The FAST has issued a statement No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS") which
   becomes effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  This statement
   requires restatement of all prior period EPS data presented.  This statement
   simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share previously found in
   APB Opinion No. 15 and makes them comparable to international EPS standards.
   It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with the presentation of basic
   EPS.  It also requires dual presentation of and diluted EPS on the fact of
   the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures.

      Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available
   to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
   outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully
   diluted EPS pursuant to APB Opinion 15.  The Company's proforma basic and
   diluted EPS for the six and three month period ending June 30, 1997 is $.96
   and $.90, and $.53 and $.49, respectively.

   Item 2.
   -------

   Summary
   -------

      The Company reported net income of $2,094,000 or $ .90 per fully diluted
   share, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to a net income of
   $1,750,000 or $ .76 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 1996. The
   increase in earnings was a result of several items including a significant
   decrease in nonperforming assets which resulted in an increase in the net
   interest margin and a decrease in the provision for loan losses.  In
   addition, the Bank's residential mortgage division reported improved earnings
   due to an increase in the volume of residential mortgage loans funded and
   sold.  As a result of these items, the Company reported a $1,600,000 (81%)
   increase in income before income taxes.  This increase was substantially
   offset with an increase in the provision for income taxes. The increase in
   the provision for income taxes was the result of the utilization of a net
   deferred tax asset during the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This
   utilization reduced the Company's provision for income taxes to 11.5% of
   pretax income during the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to 41%
   during the same period in 1997.

      As of June 30, 1997, the Company had total assets of $205.2 million, total
   loans of $107.4 million, and total deposits of $181.0 million, as compared to
   total assets of $198.2 million, total loans of $104.2 million, and total
   deposits of $170.0 million as of December 31, 1996.  Average deposits for the
   first six months of 1997 were $168.2 million as compared to an average
   deposit level of $153.9 million during the first six months of 1996.  The
   increase in deposits was primarily due to an increase in the deposits of the
   Bank's escrow and title customers and the utilization of brokered deposits.
   As of June 30, 1997, the Bank had $9.5 million of brokered deposits which it
   is utilizing in place of more expensive borrowings to partially fund its
   mortgage loans held for sale.

      The following section sets forth the Company's condensed consolidated
   average balances of each principal category of assets, liabilities, and
   shareholders' equity for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 as compared
   to the same period in 1996.  Average balances are based on daily averages for
   the Bank, and monthly averages for the Bank Holding Company, since the Bank
   Holding Company does not maintain daily average information.  Management
   believes that the difference between monthly and daily average data (where
   monthly data has been used) is not significant.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

      The federally-mandated minimum capital requirements and the actual
   capitalization of the Company and the Bank as of June 30, 1997 are set forth
   below.

                    CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 1997


 
                                                Pacific           PNB

   Risk Based Capital:
      Tier 1 Capital                 4.0%         13.6%        15.3%
      Total Capital                  8.0%         14.8%        16.5%


      As of June 30, 1997, the Company and the Bank are categorized as well
   capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, as
   well as under the FDIC's deposit insurance assessment risk ratings.
   Accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors believes the Company has excess
   capital which could be better utilized to increase earnings and shareholder
   value.

      The Board has investigated numerous strategic opportunities to deploy this
   excess capital and, on July 31, 1997, the Board authorized the Company to
   invest a maximum of $2.5 million, up to a maximum 5% of the outstanding
   voting shares, in a newly formed company called Westlake Mortgage, Inc.
   ("Westlake").  The Board believes that this investment will increase the
   Company's earnings and shareholder value and that the benefits of the
   investment outweighs the inherent risks associated with a start-up business.

      Westlake will be a corporation which will elect to be subject to income
   tax as a real estate investment trust ("REIT").  A REIT is allowed to pass
   through its earnings to its shareholders without those earnings being subject
   to corporate income taxes.  This REIT will specialize in the purchase and
   management of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities on single family
   and multifamily real estate properties throughout the United States.
   Westlake will be structured to generate earnings from net interest margin,
   the spread between the interest rate it receives on its assets, and the
   interest rate it pays on its liabilities. Westlake wishes to raise between
   forty and fifty million dollars of equity capital before year end 1997.  The
   capital will be used along with borrowings (primarily under reverse
   repurchase agreements) to purchase adjustable rate mortgage assets.  To
   minimize its interest rate risk, Westlake will utilize various hedging
   techniques to match the interest rate structure of its liabilities to that of
   its assets.

      The Company and two other individuals have been involved in Westlake's
   formation.  These two individuals have significant experience and expertise
   in the purchase and management of mortgage loans and will become executive
   officers of Westlake.  Due to his expertise, Mr. Barbieri, the CEO and
   President of the Company and the Bank, will be an officer and board member of
   Westlake.  In addition, two members of the Board of Directors of the Company
   will also be on the Board of Directors of Westlake.  The Company believes
   that this affiliation is necessary to oversee its investment in the new
   company.  In addition, it is

                                 June 30, 1997

   anticipated that the Bank will initially perform and be compensated for
   certain services, such as accounting and data processing for Westlake.

      The Bank and Westlake will also work together to design new mortgage
   products with terms and pricing that meet the needs of Westlake's portfolio,
   and can be offered by the Bank through its extensive network of mortgage
   brokers as "portfolio products". The Bank does not currently offer any
   portfolio products and management believes that this could greatly enhance
   the mortgage division's product line.

      The Company's investment in Westlake will be partially funded with a
   dividend of approximately $1.5 million from the Bank to the Bank Holding
   Company.  The Bank's proforma capital ratios as of June 30, 1997, after this
   proposed dividend would be as follows:

 
 
                                                        Pro-Forma

      Leverage Capital                                   8.9%

      Risk Based Capital:
          Tier 1 Capital                                12.5%
          Total Capital                                 13.7%

 

      With the proforma capital ratios as of June 30, 1997, the Bank would still
   be considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
   corrective action as well as the FDIC's deposit insurance assessment ratings.

   Liquidity
   ---------

      Liquidity, as it relates to the Bank Holding Company, represents the
   ability to obtain funds to support its investment activities and operating
   needs.  The Bank Holding Company's principal sources of funds are its cash
   balances, short-term loan portfolio, cash dividends from its subsidiary bank,
   as well as its ability to raise capital by selling additional shares of
   common stock.  During the first quarter of 1997, in order to fund a new loan,
   the Bank Holding Company received a $500,000 cash dividend from its
   subsidiary bank.  As of June 30, 1997, the Bank Holding Company has cash
   balances of approximately $450,000.  These liquid assets, along with cash
   generated from its loan portfolio, as well as any additional cash dividend
   from the Bank, will support its 1997 operating requirements. In April 1997,
   the Board of Directors ("Board") authorized management to purchase back up to
   $1.0 million of the Company's common stock at a maximum price established by
   the Board.  The Board believes that the Company's stock is a good investment
   that should benefit all shareholders.  Due to the limited supply of the
   Company's stock, management does not anticipate the full utilization of the
   $1.0 million.

      Liquidity, as it relates to banking, represents the ability to obtain
   funds to meet loan commitments and to satisfy demand for deposit withdrawals.
   The principal sources of funds that provide liquidity to the Bank are its
   cash balances, federal funds sold, securities available for sale and a
   portion of mortgage loans held

   for sale.  The Bank's portfolio loan-to-deposit ratio (excluding residential
   mortgage loans held for sale) at June 30, 1997 was 59.3% as compared to 61.2%
   at June 30, 1996 and 60.0% as of December 31, 1996.  The Bank's residential
   mortgage division utilizes the Bank's funding sources to fund its mortgage
   loans held for sale.  Management can slow down or speed up the shipping and
   sale of these loans, and manages the balance of the mortgage loans held for
   sale to match its funds available.  In this way, management maximizes the
   yield on its liquid assets.  Due to the fluctuations in funding and sale of
   mortgage loans, along with changes in the deposit balances of the Bank, the
   matching of liquid assets and mortgage loans held for sale is not always
   achieved.  At certain times during the year, the Bank utilizes its borrowing
   relationships to help fund the mortgage loans held for sale.  These borrowing
   sources include an unsecured line of credit with one of its correspondent
   banks, a line of credit secured by a portion of its real estate loans with
   the Federal Home Loan Bank, borrowings against the Bank's securities, and the
   use of brokered deposits.

      A large portion of the Bank's deposits consist of deposits  maintained by
   escrow companies and, to a lesser degree, title insurance companies.  At June
   30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, escrow and title insurance companies'
   deposits totaled approximately $32.5 million or 17.9% of total deposits and
   $28.2 million or 16.6% of total deposits, respectively.  This compared to
   escrow and title insurance deposits of approximately $27.4 million or 16.4%
   of total deposits at June 30, 1996.  The increase in these types of deposits
   are a result of the Bank's continual marketing effort along with an increase
   in real estate activity in Southern California.  Management expects these
   deposits, along with others, to continue to increase in the third and fourth
   quarters of 1997.  The Bank's policy is to maintain these deposits at a level
   not to exceed 25% of total deposits.  The Bank monitors the deposit levels of
   this group closely.  During the past two years, no single escrow or title
   insurance customer accounted for over 3% of the Bank's total deposits.

                    Results of Operations for the Six Months
                     Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996
                     -------------------------------------

   Total interest and loan fee income
   ----------------------------------

      Total interest and loan fee income increased $818,000 (12.2%) between the
   periods presented primarily due to the significant  increase in the average
   balance of mortgage loans held for sale and, to a lesser degree, the increase
   in the average balance of  its portfolio loans. The increase in the average
   balance of mortgage loans held for sale is due to the increased activity in
   the Bank's residential mortgage loan department and to management's efforts
   to increase profitability by increasing the holding period of these loans.
   During the first six months of 1997, the Bank funded $485 million of mortgage
   loans, compared to the first six months of 1996, during which the Bank funded
   mortgage loans totaling $390 million.  The increase in total interest income
   was also due in part to the significant decrease in nonaccrual loans.  This
   is reflected in the loan rate component of the table below.  During the first
   six months ended June 30, 1997,  nonaccrual loans averaged $2.5 million
   compared to average nonaccrual loans of $10.1 million during the same period
   in 1996. Although not as significant, the increase in interest income was
   also the result of a quarter of a point increase in the prime lending rate
   which occurred in March of 1997.

      The table below sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for
   interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to
   the six months ended June 30, 1996.

   Total interest expense
   ----------------------

         Total interest expense decreased $82,000 (4.5%) between the periods
   presented primarily due to a decrease in the rate of time deposits which was
   partially offset with an increase in the volume of short term borrowings.
   The Bank has reduced its interest rates paid on time deposits and has used
   its short-term borrowings to fund its mortgage loans held for sale more often
   during the first six months of 1997 than the first six months of 1996.  In
   order to attract new depositors and overall business relationships, the Bank
   is offering, for a limited period, a high rate personal money market account
   which should increase the interest bearing demand deposit  interest expense
   during the third quarter of 1997.   Management expects to attract $5.0 to
   $10.0 million of deposits under this promotion.  The following table sets
   forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-bearing liabilities
   for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding
   period ended June 30, 1996.

                                  (Continued)
                                 June 30, 1997


      The Company's contribution to the provision for loan losses was $195,000
   for the first six months of 1997 compared to $600,000 during the same period
   in 1996.  The reduced provision is a result of the significant reduction of
   classified and nonaccrual loans.  Classified loans decreased $9.0 million
   (60%)  from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997, while non accrual loans have
   decreased $9.1 million (87%) over the same period.  In addition, the net
   charge off for the period was $256,000, or a 76% reduction from the net
   charge off during the same period in 1996.  These reductions, along with a
   very strong outlook for the local economy have been the basis for a reduction
   of the loan loss reserve from 2.2% of total loans as of June 30, 1996 to 1.6%
   of total loans as of June 30, 1997.  The allowance is a result of
   Management's analysis of the estimated inherent losses in the Bank's loan
   portfolio.  This analysis takes into consideration the level and trend of
   loan losses, loan delinquencies, classified loan volumes and Management's
   analysis of current market conditions.

   Other Income
   ------------

      Other income increased $1,382,000 (22.6%) between the periods presented.
   The increase was primarily due to higher revenue generated from the Bank's
   residential mortgage operation.  During the first six months of 1997, gross
   revenue from the mortgage operation was $6,658,000 compared to $5,397,000 in
   the corresponding period in 1996.  The increase in the mortgage division's
   gross revenue resulted in the division posting a pretax income, before
   administration allocation, of $1,865,000 during the first six months  of
   1997, compared to $1,393,000 during the same period in 1996.  The increase in
   net income of this department is primarily due to the higher volume of loans
   funded and sold along with a lower provision for indemnification reserve.
   The increase in service charges, fees and other, is primarily due to the gain
   on a sale of REO.  The SBA Department posted lower revenue due to the timing
   of the sale of these loans.  Management expects an increase in SBA loan sales
   during the third and fourth quarters.

   Other Expenses
   --------------

      Other expenses increased $1,087,000 (13%) between the periods presented.
   The Company's other expenses increased $302,000 (6.9%) while the Bank's
   residential mortgage division's expenses increased $785,000 (19.6%).  The
   increase in the mortgage division's expenses was due to the increased level
   of activity and was substantially associated with the increase in salaries,
   employee benefits and commissions. The increase in the Company's other
   expenses of $302,000 was primarily due to an increase in salaries, employee
   benefits and REO expenses.  These increases were partially offset with
   decreases in occupancy expenses, insurance, legal and other professional
   services.

   Provision for Income Taxes
   --------------------------

      During the first six months of 1996, the Company recorded a provision for
   income tax of 11.5% of pretax income.  This amount was based upon the
   utilization of a portion of its available net deferred tax assets which had
   not been recognized in previous periods.  These deferred tax assets included
   Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards.  As all of the available
   deferred tax assets were recorded by the Company through December 31, 1996,
   the Company will be recording tax expense of approximately 41% from

                                 June 30, 1997

   December 31, 1996 forward.  Accordingly, during the first six months of 1997,
   the Company recorded a provision of approximately 41%.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents
   -------------------------

      As of June 30, 1997, cash and cash equivalents increased $2.7 million from
   December 31, 1996 balances primarily due to an increase in deposits, which
   was partially offset by a decrease in short term borrowings and an increase
   in loans.

                   Results of Operations for the Three Months
                     Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996
                     -------------------------------------

   Total interest and loan fee income
   ----------------------------------

      Total interest and loan fee income increased $437,000 (12.5%) between the
   periods presented primarily due to the significant decrease in the average
   balance of nonaccrual loans for the three months ended June 30 1997, compared
   to the same period in 1996 along with an increase in the average balance of
   mortgage loans held for sale and, to a lesser degree, its portfolio loans.
   During the three months ended June 30, 1997, nonaccrual loans averaged $2.1
   million compared to an average balance of $11.9 million during the
   corresponding period in 1996.  The increase in the average balance of
   mortgage loans held for sale is due to the increased activity in the Bank's
   residential mortgage loan department and to management's efforts to increase
   profitability by increasing the holding period of these loans.

      The table below sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for
   interest-earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
   to the three months ended June 30, 1996.

Total interest expense
- ----------------------
 
     Total interest expense decreased $73,000 (1.0%) between the periods
presented due to a decrease in the volume of interest bearing demand and time
deposits along with a decrease in the rate of time deposits. These were
partially offset with an increase in the volume of short term borrowings. The
following table sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-
bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
corresponding period ended June 30, 1997.

   Other Income
   ------------

      Other income increased $457,000 (12.9%) between the periods presented.
   The increase was primarily due to higher revenue generated from the Bank's
   residential mortgage division.  During the three months ended June 30,1997,
   gross revenue from the mortgage division was $3,523,000 compared to
   $3,067,000 in the corresponding period in 1996.  The increase in the mortgage
   division's gross revenue resulted in the division posting a pretax income,
   before administration allocation, of $974,000 during the three months ended
   June 30, 1997, compared to $790,000 during the same period in 1996.  The
   increase in net income of this department is primarily due to the higher
   volume of loans funded and sold along with a lower provision for
   indemnification reserve.

   Other Expenses
   --------------

      Other expenses increased $468,000 (10.5%) between the periods presented.
   The Company's other expenses increased $197,000 (9%) while the Bank's
   residential mortgage division's expenses increased $271,000 (11.9%).  The
   increase in the mortgage division's expenses was due to the increased level
   of activity and was substantially associated with the increase in salaries,
   employee benefits and commissions.  The increase in the Company's other
   expenses of $197,000 was primarily due to an increase in salaries, employee
   benefits and REO expenses.  These increases were partially offset with
   decreases in occupancy expenses, insurance, legal and other professional
   services.

      During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded a
   provision for income tax of 17.7% of pretax income.  This amount was based
   upon the utilization of a portion of its available net deferred tax assets
   which had not been recognized in previous periods.  These deferred tax assets
   included Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards.  As all of the
   available deferred tax assets were recorded by the Company through December
   31, 1996, the Company will be recording tax expense of approximately 41% from
   December 31, 1996 forward.  Accordingly, during the three months ended June
   30, 1997, the Company recorded a provision of approximately 41%.
