                    PROFESSIONAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by Professional Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods covered
have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.

         The financial position at September 30, 2000, and the results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
on a basis consistent with the Company's audited financial statements and these
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

         The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and conform to general practices
within the banking industry. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The allowance for loan losses
and the deferred tax asset are material estimates subject to change.

RECLASSIFICATION
         Certain amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been
classified to conform with the 2000 presentation of the item.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The actual number of shares outstanding at September 30, 2000 was
2,030,754. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted
from issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings.

NOTE 3 - MERGER ACTIVITY

         The Company announced on August 7, 2000 that it had signed a definitive
agreement to merge with First Community Bancorp ("FCB"). Under the terms of the
agreement, shareholders of Professional Bancorp will receive either $8.00 in
cash or 0.55 shares of FCB common stock (within a range of FCB stock prices) for
each share of Professional common stock. Professional shareholders will have the
option to choose either cash or stock consideration. In the event that more than
50% of Professional shareholders choose common stock or cash, the consideration
will be prorated to the Professional shareholders so that half the shares will
receive cash and half will receive FCB common stock. The transaction is expected
to close in the first quarter of 2001. Both companies have completed their due
diligence.

         As of September 30, 2000, the Company had recorded charges of $256,000
related primarily to legal and accounting expense for the merger.

         On August 10, 2000, First Community Bancorp filed a Registration
Statement on Form S-4 to register the securities to be exchanged for the
Company's stock pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement. The Form S-4 also
contains a proxy statement for a special meeting of the Company's shareholders
to be held on December 12, 2000, at which shareholders will be asked to approve
the merger agreement and related matters.


NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         On July 1, 2000 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Financial Interpretation No. 44 which clarifies certain definitions, criteria
and accounting treatment of stock based compensation (which is addressed by
Standard No.123 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and Opinion No. 25
of the Accounting Principles Board).

         On September 28, 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities. The new Statement replaces Statement 125 issued
in June 1996 as to certain securitizations of financial assets.

         During 1998, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting For
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133) which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. During 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
Effective Date of SFAS 133 and Amendment to SFAS 133", which amends certain
provisions of SFAS 133 and extends the initial effective date.

         These standards require that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure
those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may
be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair
value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b)
a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or
(c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign
operation, and unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or
a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction.

         Under these statements, an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting
is required to establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use
for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement
approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those methods must
be consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk. These statements are
effective for the Company on July 1, 2001. Management is in the process of
determining what effect, if any, adoption of this statement will have on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.

         In October 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for
Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans
Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise, an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 65." Under SFAS 134, after the securitization of a mortgage loan held for
sale, retained mortgage-backed securities shall be classified in accordance with
the provisions of Statement 115. However, a mortgage banking enterprise must
classify as trading any retained mortgage-backed securities that it commits to
sell before or during the securitization process. SFAS 134 is effective for the
first quarter beginning after December 15, 1998 and enterprises may reclassify
mortgage-backed securities and other beneficial interests retained after the
scuritization of mortgage loans held for sale from the trading category, except
for those with sales commitments in place when the Statement is initially
applied. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.

         During 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 135, Rescission of SFAS No. 75
and Technical Corrections, SFAS No. 136, "Transfer of Assets to a
Not-For-Profit Organization or Charitable Trust that Raises or Holds
Contributions for Others." Management does not believe either of these
statements will have a significant impact on the financial position or results
of operations of the Company.

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


         Professional Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is the holding company for
First Professional Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"). Since the Bank constitutes
substantially all the business of the Company, references to the Company in this
Item 2 reflect the consolidated activities of the Company and the Bank. For a
more complete understanding of the Company and its operations, reference should
be made to the financial statements in this report and in the Company's 1999
Annual Report on Form 10K. Certain statements in this report constitute
"forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may
differ significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking
statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not
limited to, economic conditions, competition in the geographic and business
areas in which the Company conducts operations, fluctuations in interest rates,
credit quality, year 2000 data systems compliance, and government regulations.

Factors That May Affect Results" contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 1999.


MERGER

         The Company announced on August 7, 2000 that it had signed a definitive
agreement to merge with First Community Bancorp ("FCB"). Under the terms of the
agreement, shareholders of Professional Bancorp will receive either $8.00 in
cash or 0.55 shares of FCB common stock (within a range of FCB stock prices) for
each share of Professional common stock. Professional shareholders will have the
option to choose either cash or stock consideration. In the event that more than
50% of Professional shareholders choose common stock or cash, the consideration
will be prorated to the Professional shareholders so that half the shares will
receive cash and half will receive FCB common stock. The transaction is expected
to close in the first quarter of 2001. Both companies have completed their due
diligence.

         The completion of the merger is contingent upon the satisfaction of
several conditions, including 1) approval of the merger agreement by the
shareholders of Professional Bancorp; 2) receipt of all necessary governmental
consents and approvals; 3) satisfaction by Professional Bancorp of certain
capitalization and asset quality requirements, and 4) satisfaction of other
conditions customary for a merger of this type.

         The merger agreement requires that Professional Bancorp remain
capitalized so that the sum of its common stock (excluding option shares issued
after the date of the merger agreement), additional paid-in capital, accumulated
deficit and treasury stock is not less than the sum of $17,250,000 and an amount
equal to $200,000 times the number of months elapsed between April 1, 2000 and
the day the merger is completed (for purposes of this provision only,
allocations to the loan loss reserves, expenses related to the discontinuance of
First Professional's data processing operation and certain charges related to
the merger transaction, such as legal and accounting fees, broker and consultant
fees, and severance payments are not treated as expenses or charges against
monthly earnings). As of September 30, 2000, Professional Bancorp met this
requirement.

         The merger agreement also requires that Professional Bancorp meet a
test of asset quality so that the total of (i) the product of Watch loans and
1.4%; (ii) the product of Special Mention loans and 5%; (iii) the product of
Substandard loans and 15%; (iv) the product of Doubtful loans and 50%; and (v)
Loss loans (in each instance of (i) through (v) the loan classification will be
determined by mutual Agreement or by a mutually agreed upon third party); and
(vi) net charge-offs since May 31, 2000 shall not be greater than $19,000,000.
As of September 30, 2000, Professional Bancorp met this requirement.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company recorded a net gain of $1.4 million, or $.67 per basic
share, for the third quarter of 2000, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million, or
$(1.14) per basic share for the third quarter of 1999. The net gain for the
first nine months of 2000 was $1.4 million, or $.66 per basic share compared to
a net loss of $2.3 million, or $(1.14) per basic share for the same period in
1999. The increase in earnings resulted primarily from the net effect of a lower
provision for loan losses, life insurance benefits recognized upon the death of
a former executive, increase in net interest income, a one-time charge for
outsourcing data processing and expenses related to merger activities. The
Company had total assets of $287.0 million at September 30, 2000, compared to
$270.0 million at September 30, 1999.

         Return on average shareholders' equity for the third quarter and first
nine months of 2000 were 8.76% and 8.78%, respectively, compared to (37.04%) and
(11.92%) for the third quarter and first nine months of 1999, respectively.
Additionally, return on average assets for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2000 was 0.48% and 0.46%, respectively, compared to (3.48%) and
(1.17%) for the third quarter and first nine months of 1999, respectively.

          Total cash and cash equivalents increased $58.0 million, or 133.6%, to
$101.4 million from $43.4 million at December 31, 1999. This increase was
primarily due to a reduction of the Bank's loan portfolio and an increase in
deposits.

         Total investment securities decreased $500,000, or 7.8% to $63.2
million at September 30, 2000 compared to $63.7 million at December 31, 1999.

         Gross loans decreased $46.5 million, or 28.6%, to $116.1 million at
September 30, 2000 compared to $162.6 million at December 31, 1999. Commercial
loans decreased $36.8 million, or 29.6%, to $87.6 million from $124.4 million at
December 31, 1999. Real estate secured loans decreased $5.6 million, or 20.4%,
to $21.9 million at September 30, 2000 compared to $27.5 million at December 31,
1999. These decreases were the result of loans being paid off in full, including
a single cash secured loan of $12.8 million, instead of being renewed, as part
of management's efforts to reduce the concentration and risk of large loans.
Concurrently, management has been adjusting its underwriting to address industry
concentration risk. Both of these efforts contributed to the decrease in loans.

         At September 30, 2000, non-performing loans totaled $12.5 million, or
10.8%, of gross loans compared with $8.4 million or 5.2% of gross loans at
December 31, 1999. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming
loans was 43.7% at September 30, 2000 compared to 69.8% at December 31, 1999.

         Total deposits increased $10.8 million, or 4.2%, to $266.8 million at
September 30, 2000 from $256.0 million at December 31, 1999.
Non-interest-bearing demand deposit increased $10.3 million or 9.4% to $119.8
million at September 30, 2000 from $109.6 million at December 31, 1999. Time
deposits decreased $21.7 million, or 47.5% to $24.0 million at September 30,
2000 from $45.7 million at December 31, 1999. The decrease in time deposits was
primarily due to the use of a $12.8 million time deposit to pay off a loan in
April, 2000.

         Other operating expense increased $609,000, or 17.0%, to $4.2 million
for the third quarter of 2000 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in
1999. The increase was due primarily to $256,000 of merger-related expenses and
a one-time charge of $400,000 for outsourcing the information systems.

NET INTEREST INCOME

         The Company's earnings depend primarily on net interest income, which
is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments
less the interest paid on deposits, borrowings and convertible notes. For the
quarter ended September 30, 2000, net interest income was $3.9 million, which
was the same amount for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, net interest income increased 6.6% to $11.8
million from $11.1 million for the same period in 1999. The increase in net
interest income for the third quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period in
1999 is primarily the result of a $20.0 million, or 8.8%, increase in average
interest earning assets.

         Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average total
interest earning assets, is referred to as the net interest margin. The
Company's net interest income is affected by the change in the amount and mix of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It is also affected by
changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on deposits
and other borrowed funds. The net interest margin for the third quarter and the
first nine months of 2000 were 6.32% and 6.31%, respectively, compared to 6.52%
and 6.40% for the third quarter and first nine months of 1999, respectively.

         Average yield on interest earning assets decreased 32 basis points to
7.63% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from 7.95% for the same
period in 1999. While overall market interest rates generally were higher in
2000 than 1999, the level of non-accrual loans during the third quarter of 2000
reduced the yield. Average cost on interest bearing liabilities decreased 14
basis points to 2.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from 2.50%
for the same period in 1999. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits for the
third quarter of 2000 increased $10.9 million, or 10.5%, to $114.9 million from
$104.0 million for the same period in 1999. Average yield on interest-earning
assets decreased nine basis points to 7.74% for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 from 7.83% for the same period in 1999. Again, the level of non-accrual
loans during the first half of 2000 reduced the yield. Average cost on interest
bearing liabilities decreased two basis points to 2.46% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 from 2.48% for the same period in 1999. Average
noninterest-bearing demand deposits for the first nine months of 2000 increased
$14.5 million, or 14.5%, to $114.5 million from $100.0 million for the same
period in 1999.

         Average federal funds sold increased $33.3 million, or 136.5%, to $57.7
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $24.4 million for the
same period in 1999. Consistent with the overall increase in market interest
rates, the average yield on federal funds increased 143 basis points to 6.56%
for the third quarter of 2000 from 5.13% for the same period in 1999. The result
was an increase in interest on federal funds sold of $639,000 to $955,000 for
the third quarter of 2000 compared to $316,000 for the same period in 1999.
Average federal funds sold increased $29.6 million, or 196.0%, to $44.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $15.1 million for the same
period in 1999. The average yield on federal funds increased 138 basis points to
6.35% for the first nine months of 2000 from 4.97% for the same period in 1999.
The result was an increase in interest on federal funds sold of $1.6 million to
$2.1 million for the first nine months of 2000 compared to $562,000 for the same
period in 1999. The increased volume was primarily due to the decrease in the
Bank's gross loan portfolio and the increase in deposits.

         Average total investment securities decreased $4.5 million, or 6.6%, to
$63.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $67.7 million
during the same period in 1999. The average yield on securities increased 33
basis points to 6.38% for the third quarter of 2000 from 6.05% for the same
period in 1999. The net result was a decrease in interest on securities of
$16,000 to $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2000. Average total investment
securities decreased $14.2 million, or 18.4%, to $63.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 from $77.2 million during the same period in
1999. The average yield on securities increased 51 basis points to 6.42% for the
nine months ending September 30, 2000 from 5.91% for the same period in 1999.
The net result was a decrease in interest on securities of $382,000 to $3.0
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $3.4 million
for the same period in 1999.

         Average loans decreased $22.6 million, or 15.4%, to $124.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $146.7 million during the
same period in 1999. The yield on loans decreased 52 basis points to 8.76% for
the third quarter of 2000 from 9.28% for the same period in 1999. The decline in
yield was primarily due to the increase in non-accrual loans and was partially
offset by the rise in interest rates. The net result was a decrease in interest
on loans of $659,000 to $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2000 compared to
$3.4 million for the same period in 1999. Average loans increased $3.8 million,
or 2.8%, to $141.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared
to $137.8 million during the same period in 1999. The yield on loans decreased
46 basis points to 8.77% for the first nine months ended September 30, 2000 from
9.23% for the same period in 1999. The net result was a decrease in interest on
loans of $172,000 to $9.3 million for the first nine months of 2000 compared to
$9.5 million for the same period in 1999.

         Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $1.3 million, or 0.9%,
         to $136.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000
compared to $137.3 million during the same period in 1999. The cost of interest-
bearing liabilities decreased 14 basis points to 2.36% for the third quarter of
2000 compared to 2.50% for the third quarter of 1999. The decrease was due
primarily to the change in deposit composition from higher costing time
certificate of deposits to savings and money market deposits. Average
interest-bearing liabilities increased $12.7 million, or 9.6%, to $145.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $132.6 million during
the same period in 1999. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased two
basis points to 2.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
2.48% during the same period in 1999.

          Average convertible notes decreased $149,000, or 18.0%, to $679,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $828,000 during the same
period in 1999. Average convertible notes decreased $209,000, or 23.5%, to
$679,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $888,000 during the
same period in 1999. Decreases in convertible notes are a result of conversions
to Company common stock in 1999.

         The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount
and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to
as "volume change." It is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and interest rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and
other borrowed funds, referred to as a "rate change." The following table sets
forth changes in interest income and interest expense for each major category of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the amount of
change attributable to volume and rate changes for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The changes due to both rate and volume have
been allocated to rate and volume in proportion to the relationship between
their absolute dollar amounts.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses is determined by management based upon
the Company's loan loss experience, the performance of loans in the Company's
portfolio, the quality of loans in the Company's portfolio, evaluation of
collateral for such loans, the economic conditions affecting collectibility of
loans, the prospects and financial condition of the respective borrowers or
guarantors and such other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve
recognition in the estimation of probable loan losses. In addition, regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review
the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company
to recognize additions to the allowance or to take charge-offs (reductions in
the allowance) in anticipation of losses.

         The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $2.8 million and
$4.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $4.5 million
and $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The additions to the provision for loan losses in 2000 were
primarily due to the increase in non-performing loans and the significant
deterioration of four large relationships in the third quarter. Net charge-offs
(recoveries) to average outstanding loans for the nine months ending September
30, 2000 and 1999 were 3.5% and 1.15%, respectively. See also "Allowance for
Loan Losses" below.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME


         During the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded $3.7 million of
income based upon $6.2 million in gross proceeds from several life insurance
policies paid upon the death of a former executive, net of $2.3 million of cash
surrender value and other charges. However, the estate of the executive and a
trust established by the executive for the benefit of certain of his family
members have asserted claims for benefits to which they allege the executive was
entitled. The Bank also anticipates that the executive's estate and another
party may make certain additional claims with respect to a salary continuation
agreement between the executive and the Bank. Although the Bank believes it has
numerous meritorious defenses to these claims, the Bank may ultimately be
required to apply a portion of the insurance proceeds to any adverse judgment
with respect to such claims if the claims result in litigation, or to any
settlement with respect to such claims (which are currently undeterminable and
inestimable).


         For the three months ended September 30, 2000, other operating income
totaled $736,000 compared to $458,000 for the same period in 1999. During the
third quarter of 2000, a gain on the sale of other repossessed assets of
$259,000 was recognized.


         For the first nine months of 2000, excluding the life insurance
benefits of $3.7 million and the sale of repossessed assets of $259,000, other
operating income totaled $1.4 million, which was the same amount for the same
period in 1999.

         Other operating expenses for the three months ending September 30, 2000
totaled $4.2 million compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 1999. The
increase was primarily due to a one-time $400,000 charge related to the
outsourcing of data processing and $256,000 of strategic planning expenses
related to merger activity.

         Other operating expenses increased $422,000 to $11.3 million for the
first nine months of 2000 from $10.5 million for the same period in 1999.
Salaries and other employee benefits increased approximately $460,000 to $5.6
million for the first nine months of 2000 from $5.2 million for the same period
in 1999. The increase primarily relates to an increase in salaries and
increased group health insurance expenses. Strategic planning expense includes
$256,000 in merger related activity for the first nine months as compared to
$42,000 during the same period in 1999. Other expense includes a one-time
$400,000 charge related to the outsourcing of data processing. Other
fluctuations include the decrease in professional services which were offset
partially by the increase in FDIC assessments.

INCOME TAXES

         For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, no provision
for income tax was recorded due to the Company's net operating loss
carryforwards that are available. For the three and nine months ended September
30, 1999, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $1.2 million and $1.3 million,
respectively.

         Gross loans outstanding decreased by $46.5 million, or 28.6%, to $116.1
million at September 30, 2000 compared to $162.6 at December 31, 1999. A
substantial portion of the decrease was due to the pay off of a single $12.8
million cash secured loan. In addition, $8 million in loan payoffs from five
borrowers were received at the Company's request. The request for payoffs were
made as part of the Company's effort to reduce its concentration in large loans.


         Commercial loans consist primarily of short to medium term financing
for small to medium sized health care-related companies and professionals
located in Southern California. The commercial loans are primarily concentrated
in the same sectors of the medical community from which the Company's deposit
base is drawn and consists of medical practitioners, small group practices,
large single-specialty groups, multi-specialty medical groups and other
outpatient health care service companies. Approximately 75% and 77% of gross
loans at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively, were commercial
loans which were unsecured or collateralized by various business and personal
property assets, including equipment and accounts receivable, contracts, and the
proceeds thereof, including capitation payments. As a matter of policy, the
Company's commercial loan borrowers are required to submit financial statements
and other financial data (for example, accounts receivable agings and enrollment
summaries) on a periodic basis, in conformity with loan policies and procedures
and regulatory guidelines, to loan officers for their review in monitoring the
financial position and cash flow trends of borrowers. Under this policy,
management generally gives a higher level of attention to borrowers failing to
submit the required financial information. Senior lending officers review
delinquency reports, overdrafts, borrowers' payment histories and periodic
financial data to monitor creditworthiness and identify potential problem loans.

         In accordance with management's credit administration and regulatory
policy, loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal
or interest is questionable. Generally, this means that loans are placed on
nonaccrual status when interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the loan is
well secured and in the process of collection or in the process of renewal.

LARGE LOANS

         As of September 30, 2000, the Company had 26 client relationships where
the total amount of loans outstanding and available credit from loan commitments
exceeded $2.0 million for any single borrower/relationship. As of September 30,
2000, the Company had $52.6 million in loans outstanding, representing 45.3% of
gross loans and $17.3 million of credit available to these relationships. As of
September 30, 2000, two relationships had $5.5 million in loans outstanding that
were on non-accrual status. In addition to the 26 client relationships discussed
above, there were two other large loan relationships with approximately $3.9
million charged-off during the year and $1.9 million on non-accrual status as of
September 30, 2000.

         As of September 30, 2000, there was one client relationship, with
loans outstanding totaling $3.3 million, that had loan amounts outstanding and
available loan commitments that were in excess of the Company's current legal
lending limit and were therefore considered non-conforming as defined in
12USC84. Regulations prohibit the further extension of credit of any kind to
these borrowers. The aggregate loans of these borrowers are "grandfathered"
until any of the borrower's credit facilities mature at which time the Company
must make every effort to bring the loans into conformity with the reduced
lending limits unless to do so would be inconsistent with safe and sound banking
practices. In connection with management's effort to reduce the concentration in
large loans, $8.0 million of these loans were paid off at the Bank's request
during 2000.

         As of December 31, 1999, the Company had $83.9 million in loans
outstanding, representing 51.6% of gross loans, and $21.5 million in credit
available to 35 relationships each of which exceeded $2.0 million. At the end of
1999, two relationships totaling $5.2 million in loans outstanding had $3.3
million which were on non-accrual status.

      As of December 31, 1999, there were four client relationships, with loans
outstanding totaling $14.9 million, that had loan amounts outstanding and
available loan commitments that were in excess of the current legal lending
limit and were therefore considered non-conforming as defined in 12USC84.
Regulations prohibit the further extension of credit of any kind to these
borrowers. The aggregate loans of these borrowers are "grandfathered" until any
of the borrower's credit facilities mature at which time the Bank must make
every effort to bring the loans into conformity with the reduced lending limits
unless to do so would be inconsistent with safe and sound banking practices.

         Management is and has been focusing its efforts on reducing the
concentration and risk of large loans. These efforts may include selling an
entire loan, selling a portion of a loan to other lending institutions and
restructuring loans when appropriate. Additionally, the management adopted a
house limit, which is lower than the legal lending limit, for evaluating any
future lending commitments.

DELINQUENCIES

         Loans 30-89 days past due decreased $2.0 million, or 36.4%, to $3.5
million as of September 30, 2000 from $5.5 million at December 31, 1999.
Approximately $500,000 of this decrease resulted from a single loan that was
paid in full and $1.5 million of loans that were put on non-accrual status.

         Loans over 90 days past due and still accruing decreased $2.5 million,
or 86.2%, to $437,000 for September 30, 2000 from $2.9 million at December 31,
1999. The decrease was comprised of $1.8 million of loans that were put on
non-accrual status and one loan in the amount of $655,000 that was paid in full.

</TABLE>


         Nonperforming assets increased to $12.5 million at September 30, 2000
from $8.4 million at December 31, 1999. This increase was primarily due to nine
borrowers with loans totaling $11.1 million being placed on nonaccrual status
partially offset by $4.6 million of these loans that were charged-off during the
nine months ended September 30, 2000.


         The $437,000 of loans over 90 days or more past due and still accruing
as of September 30, 2000 were all in the process of being collected, renewed,
paid off or the credit quality was not impaired. Of the $2.9 million in loans
over 90 days or more past due and still accruing as of December 31, 1999, loans
totaling $1.8 million were placed on non-accrual status and one loan in the
amount of $655,000 was paid in full during the nine months ended September 30,
2000.


ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

         Management's determination of the allowance for loan losses requires
the use of estimates and assumptions related to the actual and inherent risks in
the loan portfolio. Actual results may, however, differ significantly from such
estimates. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses
where real estate secures the loan, management generally obtains independent
appraisals for all properties. Management believes its current appraisal policy
conforms to regulatory guidelines.

         An evaluation of the overall quality of the portfolio is performed at
least quarterly to determine the level of the allowance for loan losses. This
evaluation takes into consideration the classification of loans and the
application of loss estimates attributable to these classifications. The Company
classifies loans as pass, watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss
based on classification criteria believed by management to be consistent with
the criteria applied by regulatory agencies and consistent with sound banking
practices.


                                       24

<PAGE>


         These classifications and loss estimates take into consideration all
sources of repayment, underlying collateral, the value of the collateral,
current and anticipated economic conditions, trends and uncertainties and the
historical accuracy of specific reserves attached to loans with serious
perceived weakness.

         Additionally, the Company utilizes "migration analysis" as another
means to assist management in estimating the level of the allowance for loan
losses. Migration analysis is a statistical method that examines historic
charge-off and classification trends prior to a charge-off to estimate potential
losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In addition, the Company utilizes a
comprehensive program that considers numerous variables, of which migration is
one, to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses for reserves
nonspecific to certain credits.

         This program is consistent with the methodologies in Banking Circular
201. Among other things, consideration is given to historical and current trends
in past due loans, charged-off loans, nonaccruals, the nature and mix of the
loan portfolio, and local, regional, industry, and national economic trends in
determining loan loss adequacy. Finally, credit administration, corresponding
loan polices and procedures, and timely problem loan identification are integral
to the sound determination of the allowance for loan losses. Based on
information available at September 30, 2000, management believes a $5.5 million
allowance for loan losses, which constitutes 4.9% of gross loans, is adequate as
an allowance against probable and estimable losses.

         While the Company's policy is to charge-off in the current period those
loans for which a loss is considered probable, there also exists the risk of
future losses which cannot be precisely quantified or attributed to particular
loans. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such
agencies may require the Company to record additions or deletions to the
allowance based on their assessment of information available to them at the time
of their examination.

         The allowance for losses on loans was $5.5 million at September 30,
2000 compared to $6.2 million at September 30, 1999.

         Loans charged-off for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
increased to $5.4 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 1999.
The increase was primarily due to four large loan relationships totaling $4.6
million that were charged-off in the third quarter of 2000. Loans charged-off
during the first nine months of 1999 included a single loan of $1.5 million.

         Recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to
$471,000, compared to $105,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase was
primarily due to the recovery on one loan totaling $210,000.

         Management considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon available
information and current events, it believes that it is probable the Company will
be unable to collect all amounts due on a timely basis in accordance with the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment of a loan is measured by the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate, the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impairment is recognized by the
establishment of a valuation allowance equal to the excess of the Company's
recorded investment in the loan over its measured value.

         The Company had $12.7 million in impaired loans as of September 30,
2000. The carrying value of impaired loans for which there is a related
allowance for loan losses was $5.7 million, with the amount of specific
allowance for loan losses allocated to these loans of $1.9 million. There was
$7.0 million in impaired loans for which there were general allowances allocated
consistent with the Company's allowance for loan loss methodology. The average
recorded investment in impaired loans during the third quarter of 2000 was
approximately $14.2 million and there was no income recorded utilizing either
the cash basis or accrual basis method of accounting. Impaired loans at
September 30, 2000 included $12.5 million of nonaccrual loans.

         The Company had approximately $8.7 million in impaired loans as of
December 31, 1999. The carrying value of impaired loans for which there is a
related allowance for loan losses was $414,000, with the amount of specific
allowance for loan losses allocated to these loans of $134,000. There were $8.3
million in impaired loans for which there was no related specific allowance for
loan losses. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during 1999 was
$4.4 million and there was no income recorded utilizing either the cash basis or
accrual basis method of accounting. Impaired loans at December 31, 1999,
included $8.4 million of nonaccrual loans.

DEPOSITS

         Total deposits at September 30, 2000 were $266.8 million, an increase
of $10.8 million, or 4.2%, from $256.0 million at December 31, 1999. The Company
attracts deposits primarily from individuals and businesses related to the
health care services industry, as well as other professionals and professional
services firms. The Company has no brokered deposits and the Company's practice
is to not purchase brokered deposits.

          At December 31, 1999, there was a $12.8 million time deposit which was
collateral for a loan of the same amount. The loan was paid off with this
deposit in April, 2000.

CAPITAL

         The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the Bank's
primary regulator, has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for
national banks. These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1 capital leverage
ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted average total assets) of 3.0% for national
banks that meet certain specified criteria, including having the highest
regulatory rating. All other national banks will generally be required to
maintain a minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio of 3.0% plus an additional
cushion of 100 to 200 basis points.

         The Federal Reserve Bank, as the Company's primary regulator, has
similarly established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding
companies. These guidelines also provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of
3.0% for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including
having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies will
generally be required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio of
3.0% plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points.


         Federal banking agencies risk-based capital standards were implemented
on December 31, 1992. Since December 31, 1992, banking organizations have been
expected to meet a minimum ratio for qualifying total capital to risk-weighted
assets of 8.0%, 4.0% of which must be Tier 1 capital. A banking organization's
risk-based capital ratios are obtained by dividing its qualifying capital by its
total risk-adjusted assets and risk-weighted off-balance sheet items.

         The Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1991 contains "prompt corrective
action" provisions pursuant to which insured depository institutions are to be
classified into one of five categories based primarily upon capital adequacy,
ranging from "well-capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized" and which
require, subject to certain exceptions, the appropriate federal banking agency
to take prompt corrective action with respect to an institution which becomes
"undercapitalized" and to take additional actions if the institution becomes
"significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized."

         The following table presents the capital ratios for the Company and the
Bank, compared with the standards for "well-capitalized" depository institutions
(which standards do not apply to bank holding companies) and the minimum
required capital ratios to be deemed "adequately capitalized" under applicable
federal regulations, as of September 30, 2000.

         As the Bank's principal regulator, the OCC examines and evaluates the
financial condition, operations and policies and procedures of nationally
chartered banks on a regular basis as part of its legally prescribed oversight
responsibilities. The OCC conducted an examination of the Bank in 1999 and
determined that the Bank required special supervisory attention. To implement
this corrective action, the OCC and the Bank entered into a formal agreement
("Formal Agreement") on March 22, 2000.

         Pursuant to the Formal Agreement, the Bank is required to: maintain
certain regulatory capital levels; appoint a full time president and a full time
senior lending officer; establish a loan workout department; implement an
overdraft policy; improve the management of the loan portfolio; establish an
independent loan review system; immediately take action to protect the Bank's
interest in criticized assets; establish an organizational structure with clear
lines of authority for the CEO and President; develop a conflict of interest
policy which includes relationships with officers, directors and consultants;
develop a three year strategic plan; develop a profit plan to improve and
sustain earnings and a capital plan to meet and maintain a well capitalized
regulatory requirements. The agreement also establishes a schedule for
compliance and requires additional regulatory reporting by the Bank.

         In early November, the Board hired Gene Gaines as Chief Executive
Officer of the Bank. Effective February 1, 2000, Mr. Gaines was also appointed
as the full time President and Chairman of the Board of the Bank and the
Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Following
that hiring, current management and the Boards of the Company and the Bank
implemented significant changes to the policies and organization of the Bank and
the Company. In early December 1999, the Bank established a loan workout
department and hired a senior vice president to review, develop and implement
loan workout policies. In April, 2000, the Bank hired a full time Senior Lending
Officer.

         On February 15, 2000, the credit administration department revised and
implemented certain policies regarding extensions of credit. On March 1, 2000,
the Board revised the Bank's organizational structure to clarify the roles and

                                       28


<PAGE>

responsibilities of the Bank's CEO and its President. On March 6, 2000, the
Board authorized the 30-day notification for termination of the consulting
agreement with Network Health Financial Services, Inc.

         In addition, the Bank has prepared additional organizational and policy
revisions, and revised and expanded the Bank's loan portfolio management
program. The Bank also developed and implemented a three-year strategic plan as
well as profit and capital plans.

         The Formal Agreement requires the Bank to achieve, by September 30,
2000, and to maintain, (i) a Tier 1 capital leverage ratio equal to at least 5%,
(ii) Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio equal to at least 6%, and
(iii) a total capital to risk weighted assets of at least 10%. The Bank met and
exceeded these requirements as of September 30, 2000.

          The following table sets forth the actual and required capital ratios
for the Bank as of September 30, 2000:

         As of September 30, 2000, the Bank met the "well-capitalized" criteria.
Capital requirements of the federal banking regulators, however, could limit the
Company's future growth if the Company were to rely solely on the retention of
earnings to generate additional capital or rapid growth.

         As the Company's principal regulator, the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco ("FRB") examines and evaluates the financial condition, operations and
policies and procedures of bank holding companies on a regular basis as part of
its legally prescribed oversight responsibilities. The FRB conducted an
examination of the Company in 2000 and determined that the Company required
special supervisory attention. To implement this corrective action, the FRB and
the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") on April 26,
2000.

         Pursuant to the MOU, the Company is required to: obtain prior approval
before declaring or paying any dividends, increasing any borrowings or incurring
any debt, repurchasing any of its stock, engaging in new lending activities,
engaging in any new line of business, appointing a new director, or hiring or
promoting any new senior executive officer; submit an acceptable capital plan to
improve and maintain required capital levels and submit an acceptable plan to
enhance the Board's supervision of operations and management of the consolidated
organization, including the policies and procedures related to credit
administration. The agreement also establishes a schedule for compliance and
requires additional regulatory reporting by the Company.

          On May 29, 1998, the Company gave notice of its call for partial
redemption of $2,625,000 principal amount of the Professional Bancorp, Inc.,
8.50% Convertible Subordinated Reset Notes due March 1, 2004. As a result of
this call, approximately $2,552,000 of the notes converted to 200,955 shares of
common stock and $73,000 in notes were redeemed by the June 30, 1998 redemption
date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, no notes were converted into
shares of common stock. The principal balance of notes outstanding at September
30, 2000 was $679,000.

          LIQUIDITY

          The Bank's primary sources of liquidity are federal funds sold to
other banks and the investment securities portfolio. For the three months ended
September 30, 2000, federal funds sold averaged $57.7 million, compared to $24.4
million for the same period in 1999. In addition, securities in the


                                       29

<PAGE>

available-for-sale portfolio can be sold in response to liquidity needs or used
as collateral under reverse repurchase agreements. Securities held-to-maturity
are available for liquidity needs primarily as collateral for reverse repurchase
agreements. The fair value of securities available-for-sale and securities
held-to-maturity at September 30, 2000, were $47.7 million and $15.4 million,
respectively.

          The Bank sells securities under agreements to repurchase. Securities
sold under repurchase agreements are recorded as short-term obligations. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, there were no securities sold under
agreements to repurchase.

          Under federal banking law, dividends declared by the Bank in any
calendar year may not, without the approval of the OCC, exceed its net earnings,
as defined, for that year combined with its retained net earnings for the
proceeding two years. The Company's primary source of liquidity is dividends
from the Bank. Dividends by the Bank to the Company are subject to regulatory
restrictions. At September 30, 2000, the Company had cash of $101.4 million.
Under applicable law, the Bank cannot currently, and for the next several years
will probably not be able to, pay dividends to the Company without the prior
approval of the OCC. No assurance can be given that the OCC will permit the
payment of dividends and the refusal to do so may require the Company to look to
other sources of liquidity such as borrowings or the issuance of various types
of securities


          YEAR 2000


         The Year 2000 issue presented a very real and significant challenge to
the Company, along with the entire financial services industry. This problem had
the potential to affect a wide range of systems and equipment, including
software and hardware, utilities, communications platforms and devices, and
facilities. The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to represent the calendar year. Software so
developed and not corrected could have produced inaccurate or unpredictable
results when dates change in the year 2000. Such occurrences could have had a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations, or business as the Company, like most financial organizations, was
significantly subject to the potential Year 2000 issues due to the nature of
financial information.

         Management successfully developed and implemented a Year 2000
Preparedness Plan. There is no known impact on the Company related to the Year
2000 issue. The Company will continue to monitor and test systems for each new
century date milestone.

         (1) The Company used certain assumptions to estimate fair values and
expected maturities. For loans, expected maturities are contractual maturities
adjusted for estimated prepayments of principal based on market indicators.
Investment securities are at quoted market rates and stated maturities. For loan
fair value computations, the company used a discounted cashflow model with
discount rates based upon prevailing market rates for similar types of loans,
incorporating adjustments for credit risk. For deposit liabilities, fair values
were calculated using discounted cashflow models based on market interest rates
for different product types and maturity dates for which the deposits are held.
