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, 1998, and the consolidated statements of income and statements of
cash flows for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1998 and June 30,
1997.  Results for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998 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 - Comprehensive Income
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    The FASB has issued a statement number 130 "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" which becomes effective for periods ending December 31, 1998.  This
statement requires reporting of all prior period comprehensive income.
Statement number 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components.  It does not address issues of
recognition or measurement for comprehensive income and its components.

Summary
- -------

  The Company reported net income of $3,511,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 compared to a net income of $2,094,000 for the same period in 1997.
The Company's diluted earnings per common and common equivalent share was $1.23
for the first two quarters of 1998 a 56% increase over its diluted earnings per
common and common equivalent shares of $ .79 in the second period of 1997.  The
earnings per share for 1997 has been adjusted for the 15% stock dividend
recorded on April 15, 1998.  The Company's annualized return on average assets
was 2.9% for the first six months of 1998 compared to 2.2% for the same period
in 1997 and its annualized return on average stockholders equity was 25.9% for
the first six months  of 1998 compared to 21.0% in 1997.  The increase in
earnings was primarily a result of an increase in the net interest margin of the
Company along with an increase in earnings from the Bank's residential mortgage
loan department.  The increase in the net interest income was a result of
increases in commercial loans, mortgage loans and deposits, as well as a
significant decrease in nonperforming assets.  The Company reduced its
nonperforming assets from $4.5 million or 2.2% of total assets as of June 30,
1997 to $1.7 million or .6% of total assets as of June 30, 1998.  The increase
in profits from the residential mortgage loan department was due to a 48%
increase in the volume of mortgage loans funded during the two periods
presented.  The Company funded a record $737.5 million of mortgage loans in the
first two quarters of 1998, compared to $484.3 million in the same period in
1997.

  As of June 30, 1998, the Company had total assets of $267.4 million, total
loans of $126.5 million, and total deposits of $230.3 million, as compared to
total assets of $242.9 million, total loans of $118.2 million, and total
deposits of $211.1 million as of December 31, 1997.  Average assets for the
first two quarters of 1998 were $243.4 million as compared to average assets of
$189.3 million during the first two quarters of 1997.  The increase in average
assets of $54.1 million (28.6%) was primarily concentrated in an increase in
mortgage loans held for sale of $36 million (66.3%) and an increase in portfolio
loans of $16.2 million (15.6%).  The increase in assets was funded with an
increase in average deposits of $43.7 million (26.5%) and an increase in average
short term borrowings of $3.1 million (262%).  The increase in deposits was
partially due to an increase in the utilization of brokered deposits. During the
first six months of 1998, the Bank's brokered deposits averaged $26.3 million
compared to an average of $5.6 million during the first six months 1997.  The
Bank utilizes brokered deposits 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, 1998 as compared to the same

     The federally-mandated minimum capital requirements and the actual

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. As of June 30, 1998, the Bank Holding Company has cash balances of
approximately $973,000.  These liquid assets, along with cash generated from its
loan portfolio will support its 1998 operating requirements.

    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 brokered deposits) at June 30, 1998 was 60.0% as compared to 62.6% at
June 30, 1997 and 59% as of December 31, 1997.  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 back up borrowing relationships along
with brokered deposits, to help fund the mortgage loans held for sale. These
back up sources include unsecured lines of credit with other banks, a line of
credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank and, borrowings against the Bank's
securities available for sale.  During the first two quarters of 1998, the
average balance of short term borrowings  and brokered deposits was $31.6
million compared to $7.9 million during the first two quarters of 1997.

                                 June 30, 1998

     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, 1998, escrow and title insurance companies' deposits totaled approximately
$50.7 million or 24.2% of total nonbrokered deposits.  This compared to escrow
and title insurance deposits of approximately $32.5 million or 18.9% and $45.4
million or 22.9% of total nonbrokered deposits as of June 30,1997 and December
31, 1997, respectively.  The increase in these deposits is primarily due to the
strong real estate market in Southern California. The Bank monitors the deposit
levels of this group closely.  Recently the competition among local banks for
these types of deposits have increased significantly.  The Bank believes that it
will maintain its historic level of escrow and title deposits although a
significant reduction below these levels could have material impact on the
Bank's liquidity and cost of funds.

Market and Interest Rate Risk
- -----------------------------

   Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity
prices and equity prices.  The Company does not engage in trading of financial
instruments, nor does it have exchange rate risk.  The Bank has risk management
policies to monitor and limit exposure to market risk arising due to changes in
interest rates and commodity prices.  Disclosures about fair value of financial
instruments, which reflect changes in market prices and rates, can be found in
Note 11 of the Company's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

   The Company uses asset liability management to control the overall interest
rate risk exposure of its balance sheet.  The Company's interest rate
sensitivity is measured by dividing the Company's rate sensitive assets by its
rate sensitive liabilities.  The interest rate sensitivity ratio ("GAP")
indicates what effect a change in interest rate would have on the net interest
margin of a financial institution. Generally, in a positive GAP environment, an
increase in interest rates would increase the net interest margin, while a
decrease in interest rates would have a negative impact on the net interest
margin.  The following table sets forth the Company's interest rate sensitivity
analysis as of June 30, 1998.  All dollar amounts are in thousands.

   In order to reduce the impact of a decrease in interest rates on its net
interest margin, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement.  The
interest rate swap agreement effectively transfers variable rate assets to fixed
rate assets.  The agreement is for a total notional principal amount of $20
million and provides that the Company pay a variable interest rate of prime on
the notional amount with the counterparty paying the Company a fixed rate of
9.11%.  The agreement terminates on April 3, 2000.  The unrealized gain on this
swap as of June 30, 1998 is approximately $204,000.

   As the GAP analysis demonstrates, the Company is in a positive one year gap
position of 1.16%. The estimated effect on the Company's net interest income for
a 10% decrease in the prime interest rate (85 basis points) over a one-year
period would be a decrease of approximately $284,000 (2%). Similarly, if there
was a 10% increase in the prime interest rate over a one-year period, the
Company's net interest income would be enhanced by $284,000.  The Bank's policy
is to limit the change in the Bank's net interest margin to plus or minus 1.25%
of the Bank's capital based on a 50 basis point immediate change in the prime
rate.

   While the gap analysis is a useful asset/liability management tool, it does
not fully assess interest rate risk.  Gap analysis does not address the effects
of customer options (such as early withdrawal of time deposits and options to
prepay loans) and the Bank strategies, (such as delaying increases in interest
paid on interest bearing deposit accounts) on the Company's net interest income.
It also estimates the relationship between movements in the prime interest rate
and  the movement in other asset and liability interest rates used in the gap
model.  Therefore, a gap analysis is only one tool with which to analyze
interest rate risk and must be reviewed in conjunction with other information
and in conjunction with the likely changes in the yield curve.

   In addition, the Bank has available for sale securities recorded at their
fair market value of $12,326,000 as of June 30, 1998.  The value of these
securities is subject to fluctuations based upon the current interest rate yield
curve.  Should short-term interest rates immediately increase 10% (55 basis
points), the market value of the investment portion would decrease by $31,000.
Conversely, should the short-term interest rates immediately decrease by 55
basis points, the market value of the investment portfolio would increase by
$24,000.

   The Bank also has interest rate risk associated with the lending activity of
the Bank's residential mortgage loan department.  Unfunded rate-locked loans,
together with the portion of mortgage loans held for sale that are not allocated
to an existing purchase commitment, create interest rate exposure. The Bank
monitors this exposure daily and limits the potential exposure by the purchase
of mandatory forward commitments to sell whole loans.  Management estimates the
amount of unfunded rate-locked loans that will actually fund and purchases
mandatory forward commitments based upon this estimate and based upon the
general interest rate environment.  Management does not speculate on interest
rate movement and uses mandatory forward commitments purely as a hedge against
interest rate swings which could effect the value of its unfunded pipeline of
rate-locked loans and unallocated loans held for sale.  The estimates which
management uses can differ from actual loan fundings and, therefore, interest
rate risk does exist.  The Bank does not hedge against interest rate risk on its
subprime residential mortgage loan volume.  A 10% change in mortgage interest
rates should not have a material impact on the market value of these loans.  As
of June 30, 1998, the Bank had $4.8 million of rate-locked unfunded sub-prime
and closed sub-prime loans.

   As of June 30, 1998, the Bank had $64.5 million of mandatory forward
commitments to sell whole loans.  This represented 95.8% coverage of the
estimated rate-locked loans which will fund and unallocated mortgage loans held
for sale.  The Bank's policy is to limit the change in the economic value of the
mandatory forward commitments together with the rate-locked loans and
unallocated loans held for sale to plus or minus 2% of the Bank's capital based
on a 50 basis point immediate change in residential mortgage interest rates.  As
of June 30, 1998, the Bank will incur a decrease in the economic value of its
residential mortgage on and off balance sheet assets of approximately $56,000
for an immediate increase of 50 basis points in residential mortgage interest
rates, while the economic value would increase approximately $56,000 for an
immediate decrease of 50 basis points.

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

   Total interest and loan fee income increased $2,232,000 (29.6%) 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, 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.  The increase in the Bank's portfolio loans was due to the Bank's
continual marketing effort along with a strong economic environment in the
Bank's primary lending area.

   Over the periods presented, the Bank also experienced an increase in the
yield on its portfolio loans and a decrease in the yield on its mortgage loans
held for sale.  The increase in the yield on portfolio loans was primarily due
to the reduction in nonperforming loans.  The decrease in the yield on mortgage
loans held for sale is due to the lower long term interest rate environment
which, in part, has fueled the increase in mortgage loan volume.

interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to

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

      Total interest expense increased $894,000 (48.8%) between the periods
presented primarily due to an increase in the volume of time deposits, interest
bearing demand deposits, and short term borrowings.  Primarily all of the
increased volume of time deposits is a result of the increased utilization of
brokered deposits.  The increased volume of short-term borrowings and brokered
deposits were used to fund the growth of mortgage loans held for sale.  For the
first six months of 1998, the average cost of brokered deposits was 44 basis
points above the average cost of the Bank's time deposits.  The following table
sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-bearing
liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the
corresponding period ended June 30, 1997.

   The Company's contribution to the provision for loan losses was $350,000 for
the first six months of 1998 compared to $195,000 during the same period in
1997.  The increased provision is a result of an increase in the amount of
portfolio loans.  The loan loss reserve as a percent of loans decreased from
1.6% as of June 30 1997 to 1.4% as of June 30, 1998.  The reduction of
nonaccrual and classified loans between the periods presented along with a
strong southern California economy is the primary reason for the reduction in
the allowance for loan loss as a percent of portfolio loans.  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 $3,867,000 (51.5%) 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 1998, gross
revenue from the mortgage operation was $10,513,000 compared to $6,658,000 in
the corresponding period in 1997.  The increase in the mortgage divisions gross
revenue resulted in the division posting a pretax income, before administration
allocation, of $2,811,000 during the first two quarters of 1998, compared to
$1,875,000 during the same period in 1997.  The increase in net income of this
department is primarily due to the higher volume of loans funded and sold.  The
increase in loan volume was attributed to the lower mortgage interest rate
environment which has fueled an increase in mortgage loan refinancings.  During
the six months ended June 30, 1998, 50% of the mortgage loan volume was from
refinancings compared to 30% in the same period in 1997.  When the low interest
rate environment changes, the mortgage loan volume might significantly decrease.
This could have a material impact on the profitability of this department.  To
reduce this possible impact, the Bank in conjunction with Alta Residential
Mortgage Trust ("Alta"), has developed adjustable  rate mortgage loans which the
Bank is offering to its customers for sale to Alta.  It is anticipated that this
product will be the choice of preference to consumers when the mortgage loan
fixed interest rates environment materially increases.  Historically, the Bank
has not secured an investor willing to purchase these adjustable rate types of
loans and therefore has not offered them.

   The gain on the sales of SBA loans declined $82,000 (28.7%) between the
periods presented.  During the second quarter of 1998, management changed its
policy with regard to the sale of the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans which
it generates.  Rather than sell the guaranteed portion of the SBA loan, as has
been its practice, the Bank is looking to portfolio the guaranteed portion.
This change will increase the Bank's balance sheet and the long term
profitability of the Bank.  By holding these loans, the Bank will earn the
interest spread between the interest earned on the loan and the Bank's cost of
funds.  If the loan pays off before its expected life, the Bank could lose some
of the benefit of holding the loan.  Therefore, in order to maximize the profit
of the Bank and to reduce its risk from loan prepayments, the Bank may, from
time to time, decide to sell some of its SBA loans.

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

   Other expenses increased $2,574,000 (27.2%) between the periods presented.
The Company's other expenses decreased $345,000 (7.4%) while the Bank's
residential mortgage division's expenses increased $2,919,000 (61.0%).  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 decrease in the Company's other expenses
of $345,000 was primarily due to an decrease in salaries and employee benefits
of $274,000 (11%), REO Expenses of 315,000 (88%) and occupancy expenses of
$116,000 (16.2%). Salaries, employee benefits, and occupancy expenses were
reduced as a result of the consolidation of the Irvine Spectrum branch into the
Bank's Newport Beach and Orange branches.  The reduction of REO expenses is a
direct result of the reduction of  REO properties.  These decreases were
partially offset with increases in other deposit expenses of $253,000 (41.4%),
which was attributable to the increase in escrow and title insurance deposit
balances.

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

   The Company recognized a provision for income tax of $2,512,000 during the
first two quarters of 1998 compared to a provision for income taxes of
$1,483,000 during the same period in 1997.  These tax provisions represent a
full income tax provision of 42% of pretax income.

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

   As of June 30, 1998, cash and cash equivalents decreased only $111,000 from
December 31, 1997 balances.  The small change was due to increases in portfolio
loans of $9.7 million and investment securities of $5.7, which was primarily
offset with an increase in deposits of $19.2 million.

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

   Total interest and loan fee income increased $1,121,000  (28.6%) between the
periods presented primarily due to the significant  increase in the average
balance of mortgage loans held for sale and portfolio loans.

Allowance as a percentage of total loans             1.4%             1.6%


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

   Other income increased $2,314,000 (57.9%) between the periods presented.  The
increase was primarily due to higher revenue generated from the Bank's
residential mortgage operation.  During the three ended June 30, 1998, gross
revenue from the mortgage division was $4,296,000 compared to $2,545,000  in the
corresponding period in 1997.  The increase in the mortgage division's gross
revenue resulted in the division posting a pretax income, before administration
allocation, of $1,650,000 during the three months  ended June 30, 1998, compared
to $980,000 during the same period in 1997.  The increase in net income of this
department is primarily due to the higher volume of loans funded.

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

   Other expenses increased $1,659,000 (33.7%) between the periods presented.
The Company's other expenses decreased $92,000 (3.9%) while the Bank's
residential mortgage division's expenses increased $1,751,000 (68.8%).  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 decrease in the Company's other expenses
of $92,000 was primarily due to an decrease in salaries, employee benefits and
REO expenses which were partially offset with an increase in other deposit
expenses.

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

   The Company recognized a provision for income taxes of 41.5% and 42% of
pretax income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
