Forward-looking statements below should be read in light of these factors.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

SCRIPPS FINANCIAL CORPORATION. SFC is a California corporation, which was
formed in the spring of 1999 as a federally regulated bank holding company.
SFC acquired the stock of Scripps on June 30, 1999 in a transaction in which
all of the shareholders of Scripps became shareholders of SFC. At this time
Scripps became a wholly owned subsidiary of SFC. The transaction was
accounted for by SFC at historical cost in a manner comparable to a
pooling-of-interests. As a result of this accounting treatment, periods
presented in the financial statements of SFC from before its incorporation
include data for Scripps. Prior to the merger SFC had no operations and held
no assets other than the stock in the subsidiary used to effect the merger.
In the merger each shareholder of Scripps received a number of shares of SFC
equal to the number of shares such shareholder held in Scripps immediately
prior to the merger. They therefore received the same percentage interest in
SFC as they held in Scripps immediately prior to the merger. Currently, SFC
holds all of the stock of Scripps. Information regarding Scripps is set forth
below to provide a better understanding of the primary asset of SFC, which is
its ownership of Scripps.

SCRIPPS BANK. Scripps, a California banking corporation, is a federally
insured bank with its headquarters in Kearny Mesa and main office in La Jolla
and additional full-service offices in downtown San Diego, El Cajon,
Escondido, Kearny Mesa, Encinitas, Point Loma and Chula Vista. Scripps
commenced operations on January 16, 1984. Scripps is licensed and regulated
by the California Department of Financial Institutions ("DFI"), and its
deposits are insured up to the maximum legal limits by the FDIC.

OPERATIONS OF SFC

Management of SFC includes two officers.  SFC has six directors.

SFC is committed to enhancing shareholder value by building a solid future
for its customers, employees and the communities it serves. It was formed as
a holding company for Scripps to provide regulatory flexibility, because bank
holding companies have certain business opportunities not available to
state-regulated banks.

BANKING SERVICES

Scripps targets businesses, professionals and individuals interested in

LENDING SERVICES

                                      4
<PAGE>

COMMERCIAL

Loans in this category include loans to small and middle market businesses,
individuals and professionals located primarily in Scripps' market areas.
Scripps provides secured and unsecured loans and lines of credit for the
operation and expansion needs of businesses, including working capital lines
of credit inventory and accounts receivable financing and equipment
financing. Scripps typically looks to the cash flow generated by a borrower
as the principal source of repayment. Scripps may also take personal property
and/or a first or second deed of trust on real estate as an additional form
of collateral. This category of loans represents our most risky loans. While
the majority of these loans are collateralized by business assets, in a
troubled debt situation, which can arise from a variety of factors, the risk
of significantly diminished collateral value is high. To mitigate such risks,
management has established a process to segment the portfolio by industry
type in order to evaluate concentration risk. Also, in 1999 Scripps started a
credit department to provide consistent credit analysis, central review of
loan covenants and collateral tracking.

REAL ESTATE

Scripps makes intermediate and long-term real estate loans to homeowners and
other borrowers who have a defined repayment source. These loans generally
carry terms of three to thirty years with amortization schedules of up to 30
years. This category also includes interim construction loans for single
family dwellings, and small or medium size commercial and multi-family
buildings and lots to be developed. Scripps also makes longer-term real
estate loans on commercial properties in conjunction with the SBA guaranteed
lending program. The SBA guarantees second trust deed secured debentures,
which are junior liens to Scripps' loans, to enable business owners to
acquire commercial facilities for their businesses.

CONSUMER

Consumer loans are primarily automobile secured loans, home improvement
loans, and equity lines of credit, generally secured by second trust deeds on
personal residences, loans secured by various personal property and unsecured
lines of credit. Fixed rate consumer loans, which comprise approximately 33%
of the consumer portfolio, are generally made as amortizing loans over terms
in excess of one year. The variable rate portion of consumer loans are
primarily equity lines of credit secured by lien positions on real property
or unsecured revolving credit facilities to qualified individuals. This
category is more risky than real estate loans, due in large part to
industry-wide excessive availability of credit, an overall increase in the
consumers' appetite for debt, and the relative ease by which consumers can
discharge their obligations through bankruptcy.

LEASES

A major portion of Scripps' lease assets is comprised of leases for
electronic equipment, such as computers and data processing equipment. The
remaining balance of the lease portfolio includes leases on a variety of
other equipment.

CREDIT REVIEW

All loans are rated by an objective risk rating system, which is applied on a
regular basis. Any exceptions to underwriting standards are tracked in order
to identify trends. The credit review process was outsourced in early 1999.
This provides management and the Board of Directors with reports from an
unbiased third party on the status of loans. The bank maintains a Special
Asset Department, which actively monitors classified loans - those loans that
have deteriorated to the degree that there is a potential for loss. The
objective of this department is to identify the classified loans as soon as
possible, to protect or enhance the Bank's position, and ultimately to return
the loan to non-classified status or recognize it as a loss.

TRUST SERVICES AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Scripps Trust Department is committed to providing San Diego County with
high quality personalized trust and investment management services. The Trust
Department offers a full range of personal trust services to individuals,
including the administration of:

                                      5
<PAGE>

     -    living trusts

     -    testamentary trusts

     -    custodial agencies

     -    investment agencies

     -    executorships

     -    conservatorships

All standard employee benefit trust services are available, including trust
administration and asset management. The Trust Department also assists
individuals who wish to establish an IRA rollover for qualified retirement
plan distributions.

The Trust Department strives to attain a personalized approach to trust
services by custom tailoring products and services to meet the customer's
needs. The Trust Department utilizes an independent registered investment
advisor to provide investment advice to the Trust Investment Committee in an
attempt to provide individualized asset management programs for each trust
account. The Trust Department also offers "no load" mutual funds for some
accounts to achieve proper diversification of assets.

Scripps has offered the ability to buy and sell stocks, bonds, and mutual
funds through the Scripps Trust Department since June 1999. These products
are not FDIC insured.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In the course of normal business, SFC enters into various types of
transactions that include commitments to extend credit that are not reflected
on its statements of financial condition. SCF's exposure to loss under
commitments to extend credit is represented by the total amount of these
commitments. See "Notes to Consolidated financial statements."

COMPETITION

The banking business in California generally, and in the San Diego market
area specifically, is highly competitive with numerous competitors both
making loans and accepting deposits. The trust and investment management
services business in SFCs' market area is also highly competitive, with six
major banks and various credit unions and savings and loans serving the area.
SFC competes for loans, deposits and trust services with other commercial
banks, savings and loan associations, finance companies, money market funds,
credit unions, brokerage firms and other financial institutions, including a
number of institutions that have significantly greater financial resources
than SFC. SFC also competes for business with unregulated lenders. There has
been increased competition for deposit and loan business over the past
several years as a result of deregulation, and with the advent of interstate
banking, bank holding companies headquartered outside of California may also
enter the California market in greater numbers and provide further
competition for SFC. Many of the major commercial banks operating in SFC's
market area offer some services which SFC does not offer directly but can
provide through a correspondent bank or through a strategic alliance with a
financial service provider. Additionally, banks with larger capitalization
have larger lending limits and are thereby better able to serve the higher
dollar needs of larger customers. SFC intends to compete with such banks
through customer service orientation, active involvement of its board of
directors, management and employees in community affairs, and commitment to
the community. With nine branches, Scripps is the largest locally owned and
managed bank in San Diego County. Scripps holds 2.65% of the deposit market
share countywide.

The regulatory climate became more favorable to large competitors in the
1990s. On September 29, 1994, President Clinton signed into law the
Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
"Interstate Banking Act"). The Interstate Banking Act has various provisions
designed to facilitate the acquisition of banks and branching across state
borders. It allows the FRB to approve a bank holding company's application to
acquire control or substantial assets of a bank located outside the bank
holding company's home state, regardless of whether the acquisition would be
prohibited by state law. In addition, the Interstate Banking Act now permits
a bank in one state to merge with another bank in a different state. On
October 2, 1995, the California legislature adopted the Caldera, Weggeland,
and Killea California Interstate Banking and Branching Act of 1995 (the
"California Act"). The California Act expressly permits an out-of-state bank
to acquire an entire California bank by acquiring an entity through a merger
or purchase. Merely adding a branch or directly acquiring a branch in
California continues to be prohibited to out-of-state banks. Out-of-state
banks are permitted to affiliate with California institutions and may
establish facilities in California (such as loan production offices) under
conditions set forth in the California Act.

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS

Bank holding companies and financial institutions are extensively regulated
under federal and state law. As a result, the growth and earnings of SFC can
be affected by the regulations and policies of governmental regulatory
authorities in addition to management decisions and general economic
conditions. Several of the more significant regulations which apply to SFC
and Scripps are discussed below. When information in this report describes
statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety to the
statutes or regulations.

SFC is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). As a result, SFC files annual,
quarterly and other current reports with the SEC and is subject to securities
regulations including rules regarding proxies. Directors, executive officers
and principal shareholders of more than 10% of SFC's common stock are also
subject to periodic reporting requirements. Both SFC and Scripps are subject
to the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

SFC is a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, so is required to file reports with the Federal Reserve Board. Prior
to March 13, 2000, a bank holding company generally was prohibited from
acquiring the beneficial ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting
shares or substantially all of the assets of any company, including a bank,
without the FRB's prior approval. Also, prior to March 13, 2000, a bank
holding company generally was limited to engaging in banking and activities
that the FRB had determined to be closely related to banking. Under the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, beginning March 13, 2000 eligible bank
holding companies may elect to become financial holding companies, and
thereafter affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage
other activities that are financial in nature. A bank holding company is
eligible to become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary
banks and savings associations is well capitalized, is well managed, and has
a Community Reinvestment Act rating of satisfactory or better. SFC has not
yet determined whether it will elect to become a financial holding company.
Even if SFC were to elect to become a financial holding company, it would
continue to be required to comply with other bank holding company regulations
promulgated by the FRB.

                                       7

<PAGE>

The FRB has by regulation determined certain activities in which holding
companies including SFC may or may not conduct business. As a holding company
SFC is currently prohibited from such activities as real estate brokerage and
syndication; real estate development; property management; underwriting of
life insurance not related to credit transactions; and, with certain
exceptions, securities underwriting and equity funding.

As a California state-chartered bank, Scripps is subject to primary
supervision, periodic examination and regulation by the California Department
of Financial Institutions and the FDIC. If, as a result of an examination of
a bank, the FDIC should determine that the financial condition, capital
resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity, or other
aspects of the bank's operations are unsatisfactory or that the bank or its
management is violating or has violated any law or regulation, various
remedies are available to FDIC. Such remedies include the power to enjoin
"unsafe or unsound" practices, to require affirmative action to correct any
conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an
administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase
in capital, to restrict the growth of the bank, to assess civil monetary
penalties, to remove officers and directors and ultimately to terminate a
bank's deposit insurance, which for a California state-charted bank would
result in a revocation of the bank's charter. The DFI has many of the same
remedial powers.

Scripps is insured by the FDIC, which currently insures deposits of each
member bank to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor. For this protection, each
bank pays a semi-annual statutory premium and is subject to the rules and
regulations of the FDIC. Although Scripps is not a member of the Federal
Reserve System, it is subject to certain regulations of the FRB.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY GUIDELINES

The FRB and the FDIC have issued guidelines to implement risk-based capital
requirements. The guidelines are intended to establish a systematic
analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements more
sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations and
takes off-balance sheet items into account in assessing capital adequacy and
minimizes disincentives to holding liquid, low-risk assets. Under these
guidelines, assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items,
such as letters of credit and outstanding loan commitments, are assigned to
one of several risk categories, which range from 0% for risk-free assets,
such as cash and certain United States government securities, to 100% for
relatively high-risk assets, such as loans and investments in fixed assets,
premises and other real estate owned. The aggregate dollar amount of each
category is then multiplied by the risk-weight associated with that category.
The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are then added
together to determine the total risk-weighted assets.

The guidelines require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to
risk-weighted assets of eight percent, of which at least four percent must
consist of Tier 1 capital. Higher risk-based ratios are required for an
insured depository institution to be considered well capitalized under the
prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act. See "Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991."

                                       8

<PAGE>

A banking organization's qualifying total capital consists of two components:
Tier 1 capital (core capital) and Tier 2 capital (supplementary capital).
Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common stock, related surplus and
retained earnings, qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (plus,
for bank holding companies, qualifying percentage of cumulative perpetual
preferred stock in an amount up to 25% of Tier 1 capital) and minority
interest in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Intangibles,
such as goodwill, are generally deducted from Tier 1 capital; however,
purchased mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships
may be included, subject to certain limitations. At least 50% of banking
organization's total regulatory capital must consist of Tier 1 capital.

Tier 2 capital may consist of (i) the allowance for possible loan and lease
losses in an amount up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) cumulative
perpetual preferred stock and long-term preferred stock (which for bank
holding companies must have an original maturity of 20 years or more) and
related surplus; (iii) hybrid capital instruments with characteristics of
both debt and equity), perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt
securities; and (iv) eligible term subordinated debt and intermediate-term
preferred stock with an original maturity of five years or more, including
related surplus, in an amount up to 50% of Tier 1 capital. The inclusion of
the foregoing elements of Tier 2 capital are subject to certain requirements
and limitations of the Federal banking agencies.

The FRB and the FDIC also have adopted a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1
capital to average total assets of three percent for institutions which have
been determined to be in the highest of five categories used by regulators to
rate financial institutions. This leverage ratio is only a minimum. All other
institutions are required to maintain leverage ratios of at least 100 to 200
basis points above the three percent minimum. Furthermore, higher leverage
ratios are required for an insured depository institution to be considered
well capitalized or adequately capitalized under the prompt corrective action
provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act. As of December 31, 1999, SFC's Tier 1
risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.18% and
11.35%, respectively.

The risk-based capital standards of the federal banking agencies take into
account concentrations of credit (relatively large proportions of loans
involving one borrower, industry, location, collateral or loan type) and the
risks of "non-traditional" activities (those that have not customarily been
part of the banking business). These regulations require institutions with
high or inordinate levels of risk to operate with higher minimum capital
standards, and authorize the regulators to review an institution's management
of such risks in assessing an institution's capital adequacy.

The federal banking agencies have also revised the risk-based capital
regulations to include exposure to interest rate risk as a factor that the
regulators will consider in evaluating a bank's capital adequacy. Interest
rate risk is the exposure of a bank's current and future earnings and equity
capital arising from adverse movements in interest rates. While interest risk
is inherent to a bank's role as financial intermediary, it introduces
volatility to bank earnings and to the economic value of the bank.

The FRB also requires the maintenance of a leverage capital ratio designed to
supplement the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks and Bank Holding
Companies that have received the

                                       9

highest regulatory ratings must maintain Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at
least 3.0%. All other institutions are required to maintain a leverage ratio
of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the 3.0% minimum, for a minimum of
4.0% to 5.0%. Pursuant to federal regulations, banks must maintain capital
levels commensurate with the level of risk to which they are exposed,
including the volume and severity of problem loans, and federal regulators
may, however, set higher capital requirements when a bank's particular
circumstances warrant. As of December 31, 1999 SFC's and Scripps' Tier 1
leverage capital ratios were 7.5% and 7.4%, respectively, exceeding
regulatory minimums. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Capital Resources."

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1991

In December 1991, the FDIC Improvement Act was enacted into law. This
legislation substantially revises the bank regulatory and funding provisions
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and makes revisions to several other
federal banking statutes. Set forth below is a brief discussion of certain
portions of this law and implementing regulations that have been adopted by
the FRB, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift
Supervision and the FDIC (collectively, the "Federal banking agencies").

-    IMPROVED EXAMINATIONS. All insured depository institutions must undergo a
     full-scope, on-site examination by their primary Federal banking agency at
     least once every 12 months. The cost of examinations of insured depository
     institutions and any affiliates may be assessed by the appropriate Federal
     banking agency against each institution or affiliate as it deems necessary
     or appropriate.

-    STANDARDS FOR SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS. Pursuant to the FDIC Improvement Act,
     the Federal banking agencies have issued safety and soundness standards and
     guidelines on matters such as loan underwriting and documentation, asset
     quality and growth, earnings, internal controls, information and audit
     systems, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee
     benefits. The Federal banking agencies have also issued final regulations
     prescribing uniform guidelines for real estate lending, which require
     insured depository institutions to adopt written policies establishing
     standards, consistent with such guidelines, for extensions of credit
     secured by real estate. The policies must address loan portfolio
     management, underwriting standards and loan to value limits that do not
     exceed the supervisory limits prescribed by the regulations.

-    PROMPT CORRECTIVE REGULATORY ACTION. The FDIC Improvement Act requires each
     Federal banking agency to take prompt corrective action to resolve the
     problems of insured depository institutions that fall below one or more
     prescribed minimum capital ratios. The purpose of this law is to resolve
     the problems of insured depository institutions at the least possible
     long-term cost to the appropriate deposit insurance fund.

The law requires each Federal banking agency to promulgate regulations
defining the following five categories in which an insured depository
institution will be placed, based on the level of its capital ratios: well
capitalized (significantly exceeding the required minimum capital
requirements), adequately capitalized (meeting the required capital
requirements), undercapitalized (failing to meet one or more of the capital
requirements), significantly

                                      10

<PAGE>

undercapitalized (significantly below one or more capital requirements) and
critically undercapitalized (failing to meet all capital requirements).

In September, 1992, the Federal banking agencies issued uniform final
regulations implementing the prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIC
Improvement Act. Under the regulations, an insured depository institution
will be deemed to be:

         - "Well capitalized" if it (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of
10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of six percent or greater and
a leverage ratio of five percent or greater and (ii) is not subject to an order,
written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to
meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure;

         - "Adequately capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio
of eight percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of four percent
or greater and a leverage ratio of four percent or greater (or a leverage ratio
of three percent or greater if the institution is rated composite 1 under the
applicable regulatory rating system in its most recent report of examination);

         - "Undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is
less than eight percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than
four percent or a leverage ratio that is less than four percent; and

         - "Significantly undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital
ratio that is less than six percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is
less than three percent or a leverage ratio that is less than three percent; and

         - "Critically capitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity to
total assets that is equal to or less than two percent.

An institution that, based upon its capital levels, is classified as well
capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized may be reclassified
to the next lower capital category if the appropriate Federal banking agency,
after notice and opportunity for hearing, (i) determines that the institution
is in an unsafe or unsound condition or (ii) deems the institution to be
engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice and not to have corrected the
deficiency. At each successive lower capital category, an insured depository
institution is subject to more restrictions and federal banking agencies are
given less flexibility in deciding how to deal with such institution.

The law prohibits insured depository institutions from paying management fees
to any controlling persons or; with certain limited exceptions, making
capital distributions, including dividends, if after such transaction the
institution would be undercapitalized. If an insured depository institution
is undercapitalized, it will be closely monitored by the appropriate Federal
banking agency, subject to asset growth restrictions, and required to obtain
prior regulatory approval for acquisitions, branching and engaging in new
lines of business. Any undercapitalized depository institution must submit an
acceptable capital restoration plan to the appropriate Federal banking agency
45 days after becoming undercapitalized. The appropriate Federal banking
agency cannot accept a capital plan unless, among other things, it determines
that the plan (i) specifies the steps the institution will take to become
adequately capitalized, (ii) is based on realistic assumptions and (iii) is
likely to succeed in restoring the depository

                                      11

<PAGE>

institution's capital. In addition, each company controlling an
undercapitalized depository institution must guarantee that the institution
will comply with the capital plan until the depository institution has been
adequately capitalized on an average basis during each of four consecutive
calendar quarters and must otherwise provide adequate assurances of
performance. The aggregate liability of such guarantee is limited to the
lesser of (a) an amount equal to five percent of the depository institution's
total assets at the time the institution became undercapitalized and (b) the
amount which is necessary to bring the institution into compliance with all
capital standards applicable to such institutions as of the time the
institution fails to comply with its capital restoration plan. Finally, the
appropriate Federal banking agency may impose on any undercapitalized
depository institution any of the additional restrictions or sanctions that
it may impose on significantly undercapitalized institutions if it determines
that such action will further the purpose of the prompt corrective action
provisions.

Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a
number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient
voting stock to become adequately capitalized and requirements to reduce the
total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks.
Critically undercapitalized institutions are subject to the appointment of a
receiver or conservator.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF THE FDIC IMPROVEMENT ACT

The FDIC Improvement Act also, among other things, (i) limits the percentage
of interest paid on brokered deposits and limits the unrestricted use of such
deposits to only those institutions that are well capitalized; (ii) requires
the FDIC to charge insurance premiums based on the risk profile of each
institution; (iii) eliminates "pass-through" deposit insurance for certain
employee benefit accounts unless the depository institution is well
capitalized or, under certain circumstances, adequately capitalized; (iv)
prohibits insured state-chartered banks from engaging as principal in any
type of activity that is not permissible for a national bank unless the FDIC
permits such activity and the bank meets all of its regulatory capital
requirements; (v) directs the appropriate Federal banking agency to determine
the amount of readily marketable purchased mortgage servicing rights that may
be included in calculating such institution's tangible, core and risk-based
capital; and (vi) provides that, subject to certain limitations, any Federal
savings association may acquire or be acquired by any insured depository
institution.

The FDIC has also issued final regulations which prohibit, subject to certain
specified exceptions, insured state-chartered banks from engaging as
principal in any activity not permitted of a national bank, without FDIC
approval. The regulations also provide that, subject to certain specified
exceptions, subsidiaries of insured state-charted banks may not engage as
principal in any activity that is not permitted of a subsidiary of a national
bank, without FDIC approval.

The impact of the FDIC Improvement Act on Scripps is uncertain. Certain
provisions may affect the way in which Scripps conducts its business, and
other provisions, such as those relating to the establishment of the
risk-based premium system and the limitations on pass-through insurance may
affect its results of operations. Furthermore, the actual and potential
restrictions and sanctions that apply to or may be imposed on
undercapitalized institutions under the prompt corrective action and other
provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act may significantly affect the

                                     12

<PAGE>

operations and liquidity of Scripps, the value of SFC Common Stock and its
ability to raise funds in the financial markets.

COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT AND FAIR LENDING DEVELOPMENTS

The Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") requires banks, as well as other
lenders, to identify the communities served by the bank's offices and to
identify the types of credit the bank is prepared to extend within such
communities. The CRA also requires the FDIC to assess the performance of a
bank in meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such assessment
into consideration in reviewing applications for mergers, acquisitions, and
other transactions. An unsatisfactory CRA rating may be the basis for denying
such an application.

Scripps is subject to certain fair lending requirements and reporting
obligations involving home mortgage lending operations and CRA activities. In
addition to substantive penalties and corrective measures that may be
required for a violation of certain fair lending laws, the Federal banking
agencies may take compliance with such laws and CRA into account when
regulating and supervising other activities.

In 1994, the Federal Interagency Task Force on Fair Lending issued a policy
statement on discrimination in lending. The policy statement describes the
three methods that Federal agencies will use to prove discrimination: overt
evidence of discrimination, evidence of disparate treatment, and evidence of
disparate impact.

In connection with its assessment of CRA performance, the FDIC assigns a
rating of "outstanding," "satisfactory," "needs to improve," or "substantial
noncompliance." The FDIC conducts examinations of a bank's CRA performance,
among other matters, approximately every two years. Based on a CRA and
consumer compliance examination conducted during November 1999, Scripps was
rated "satisfactory." There can be no assurance that Scripps will retain this
rating.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

The FRB requires banks to maintain noninterest-earning reserves against
certain of their transactional accounts (primarily deposit accounts that may
be accessed by writing checks) and non-personal time deposits.

As a creditor and a financial institution, Scripps is subject to certain
regulations promulgated by the FRB, including, without limitation, Regulation
B (Equal Credit Opportunity Act), Regulation D (Reserves), Regulation E
(Electronic Funds Transfers Act), Regulation F (inter bank liabilities),
Regulation Z (Truth in Lending Act), Regulation CC (Expedited Funds
Availability Act), and Regulation DD (Truth in Savings Act). As creditors on
loans secured by real property and as owners of real property, financial
institutions, including Scripps, may be subject to potential liability under
various statutes and regulations applicable to property owners, generally
including statutes and regulations relating to the environmental condition of
the property.

                                      13

<PAGE>

Other state and federal statutes and regulations apply to many aspects of the
operations of SFC and Scripps, including requirements to maintain reserves
against deposits and meet capital requirements, and regulation of interest
rates payable on deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions,
borrowings, dividends and locations of branch offices. From time to time,
legislation is enacted which has the effect of increasing the cost of doing
business, limiting or expanding permissible activities or affecting the
competitive balance between banks and other financial intermediaries.
Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and
taxation of banks, bank holding companies and other financial intermediaries
are frequently made in Congress, in the California legislature and before
various bank regulatory and other professional agencies. The likelihood of
any major changes and the impact such changes might have on SFC and Scripps
are impossible to predict.

As of December 31, 1999, Scripps had a full time equivalent staff of 275
persons on a full-time and part-time basis. SFC had no employees.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

SFC and Scripps together have 14 locations, nine of which are branch offices
of Scripps. Another location, in Carmel Valley, will open in Fall 2000. In
February 2000 SFC relocated its SFC and Scripps corporate headquarters to
5787 Chesapeake Court, San Diego, California, 92123, from Ivanhoe Avenue in
La Jolla.

Scripps' main office branch is located at 7733 Girard, La Jolla, California,
92037. Scripps has sub-leased major portions of the former corporate
headquarters in La Jolla and offsets rent expense with the income from the
sub-leases. Scripps plans on sub-leasing the second floor of the Carmel
Valley property, while retaining the first floor for a branch.

The following table sets forth-certain information regarding SFC and Scripps
property, net of accumulated depreciation, at December 31, 1999:

The SFC and Scripps facilities are held under lease agreements that expire at
various times from 2001 through 2026. The lease agreements have option
periods to extend their terms at rates equivalent to the then market rates.
Annual minimum lease commitments for SFC and Scripps together approximate
$2.1 million on average through the year 2004.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

No litigation against SFC is known by its board of directors to be pending or
threatened. Scripps is at times subject to pending and threatened legal
actions that arise out of the normal course of business. Management, after
reviewing all actions and proceedings pending against SFC and Scripps,
considers that the ultimate disposition of pending or threatened litigation
will not have a material effect on the financial condition or results of
operations of SFC.

ITEM 5. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

SFC COMMON STOCK PRICE RANGE AND DIVIDEND POLICY

In October 1999 SFC listed its common stock on the American Stock Exchange
(AMEX). Between this listing and July 1, 1999, SFC Common Stock was traded on
the over-the-counter bulletin board. Before July 1, 1999, Scripps common
stock was listed on the over-the-counter bulletin board.

Scripps is the sole subsidiary of SFC. As a state-chartered bank, the ability
of Scripps to pay dividends or make distributions to SFC is subject to
restrictions set forth in the California Financial Code. The California
Financial Code provides that neither a bank nor any majority-owned subsidiary
of a bank may make a distribution to its shareholders in an amount which
exceeds the lesser of (i) the bank's retained earnings, or (ii) the bank's
net income for its last three fiscal years, less the amount of any
distributions made by the bank or by any majority-owned subsidiary of the
bank to the shareholders of the bank during such period. However, a bank or a
majority-owned subsidiary of a bank may, with the prior approval of the
Commissioner of the DFI, make a distribution to the shareholders of the bank
in an amount not exceeding the greatest of (i) the bank's retained earnings,
(ii) the bank's

                                      16

<PAGE>

net income for its last fiscal year, or (iii) the bank's net income for its
current fiscal year. In the event that the Commissioner of the DFI determines
that the stockholders' equity of a bank is inadequate or that the making of a
distribution by a bank would be unsafe or unsound, the Commissioner may order
the bank to refrain from making a proposed distribution. As of December 31,
1999 Scripps had approximately $11.6 million legally available for the
payment of dividends. SFC paid semi-annual cash dividends to its shareholders
for a total of $.12 per share and $.16 per share in 1999 and 1998,
respectively. In 1999 the first payment was declared by Scripps and the
second payment by SFC. SFC will depend on dividends from its subsidiaries for
operating funds and to provide dividends to its shareholders. Payment of
future dividends by SFC will be subject to the discretion of the SFC Board of
Directors and will depend upon available revenue, its financial condition,
its capital requirements, its need for funds, applicable governmental
policies and regulations and such other matters, as the Board deems
appropriate. At present, SFC desires to continue paying cash dividends on a
periodic basis comparable to the historical levels paid by Scripps, which has
been semi-annual payments ranging from 13% to 18% of net income. However, the
ability of SFC to make such payments and the rate at which such payments may
be made is not assured and will depend on the factors discussed above.

The price information contained in the following table sets forth the high
and low closing prices per share of SFC or Scripps Common Stock as reported
by the composite closing price table published by the Bloomberg Financial
Markets Service. The high and low bid prices of SFC and Scripps Common Stock

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

SFC, with $632 million in total assets at December 31, 1999, derives
substantially all of its revenues and income by providing a full range of
commercial banking, consumer banking and trust services primarily to small
and middle market businesses and individuals in San Diego County, California.
The revenues of SFC are derived principally from interest earned on loans and
investment securities, from trust and residential lending service fees, and
from other loan and deposit account-related fees and service charges. The
operations of SFC are influenced significantly by general economic conditions
and by policies of its primary regulators, FRB, and for Scripps DFI and FDIC.

Return on average equity ("ROE") is determined by dividing annual net income
by average shareholders' equity and indicates the effectiveness of an
institution in generating net income from the capital invested by its
shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 1999, SFCs' ROE was 10%
compared to 14% for 1998 and 12% for 1997. Return on average assets ("ROA")
measures net income in relation to total average assets and generally
indicates an institution's ability to use its assets profitably. For the year
ended December 31, 1999, SFCs' ROA was 0.8% compared to 1.2% for 1998 and
1.1% for 1997. ROE for 1999 decreased by 0.4% from 1998 primarily as a result
of the need to replenish the reserve for loan losses due to net charge-offs
of $6.6 million. $6.4 million of the charge-offs were from two loans and are
considered by management to be non-recurring in nature. In 1998 PCB merged
with and into Scripps, resulting in two new offices for Scripps. Management
believes the continued growth of market share in existing and new markets,
enhanced internal efficiency, the continued resolution of its nonperforming
assets, and a general economic recovery of Southern California will have a
positive effect upon future operations, although there can be no assurance
these developments will occur. There are many factors that could adversely
affect the future operations of SFC, including any decline in the San Diego
County economy at a time when SFC is incurring costs of expansion.

INSTITUTIONAL GROWTH

Scripps began to experience significant growth in 1995 as the local economy
improved and following the failure or merger of several larger San Diego
headquartered financial institutions. The decision was made to increase the
bank's capital and to take advantage of the opportunity to increase market
share. Prior to 1996, the bank had established offices in La Jolla, El Cajon,
downtown San Diego and Escondido. In 1996, the bank obtained an additional
$9.5 million through the sale of Scripps Common Stock and received regulatory
approval to open three new offices in Kearny Mesa, Encinitas and Point Loma.
Those offices were opened during 1997, and all have experienced satisfactory
growth in loans and deposits. In 1998 Scripps expanded into Chula Vista and
the South Bay area of San Diego County, adding two offices, through its
merger with PCB.

SFC's long term plan includes establishing a total of eleven to thirteen
Scripps offices strategically located throughout San Diego County. Through
the merger of PCB and Scripps, the resulting institution has nine branches
serving much of San Diego County. Although there can be no assurances that it
will prove to be correct, SFC's management believes that significant growth
and market opportunity will occur in the near future in the South Bay area,
and that it is therefore very important for the bank to be represented in
that area. It is anticipated that in the future, one or two additional
offices may be opened in North County, and possibly one additional office in
East County.

Growth has and will enable SFC to expand its deposit gathering and loan
delivery systems geographically within San Diego County. Increases in average
interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities contributed
to increases in total interest income interest expense and net interest
income. Expansion has

                                      19
<PAGE>

also contributed to the gathering of additional noninterest-bearing deposits,
which effectively lowers SFC's internal cost of funds and increases net
interest income. Growth has also caused, and can be expected to continue to
cause, increases in noninterest expense.

SFC's growth during the period from 1994 through the end of 1999 facilitated
increases in earnings per share. In 1999 income per share decreased due to
loan charge-offs as noted above. As SFC's growth continues and as noninterest
expense continues to rise, income per share may decline. SFC believes that
even if additional investment in growth comes at the cost of lower income per
share for several quarters, SFC's profitability will be enhanced over the
long term, although there can be no assurance that this will in fact be the
case.

ANNUAL COMPARISON

The following discussion is intended to provide information to facilitate the
understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the
results of operations and the financial condition of SFC. This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with SFC's audited consolidated
financial statements, including notes thereto, located elsewhere in this
report.

NET EARNINGS

Net earnings were $4 million ($.64 per share basic; $.63 per share diluted)
for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with $6 million ($.87 per
share basic; $.84 per share diluted) for 1998, a decrease of $2 million or
25%. Net earnings for 1998 reflect an increase of $2 million or 39% over net
earnings of $4 million ($.63 per share basic; $.61 per share diluted) for the
year ended December 31, 1997. SFC's decrease in earnings between 1999 and
1998 resulted primarily from the charge-offs noted above. The charge-offs
were partially offset by earnings from an increase in average
interest-earning assets, primarily in loans and investment securities. SFC's
improved performance between 1998 and 1997 was primarily due to an increase
in average interest-earning assets, primarily in loans and investment
securities. The higher levels of net interest income in 1998 and 1997 were
partially offset by the costs and additional salary expense associated with
the Scripps-PCB merger in 1998.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, which constitutes one of the principal sources of income
for SFC, represents the difference between interest income on
interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.
The net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as interest
rate margin or net interest margin, represents net interest income divided by
average interest-earning assets. SFC's principal interest-earning assets are
loans, investment securities and Federal funds sold, while its principal
interest-bearing liabilities are interest-bearing demand accounts, savings
deposits and time deposits.

Net interest income was $33 million for fiscal 1999, an increase of $5
million or 16% compared with net interest income of $28 million for 1998,
which represented an increase of $5 million or 22% compared to net interest
income of $23 million for 1997. Comparing 1999 to 1998, SFC's average
interest-earning assets increased to $545 million in 1999 from $472 million
in 1998, representing an increase of 15% which resulted from increases in all
interest-earning asset categories but primarily in loans (19%) and
investments (19%). Average interest-bearing deposits increased to $372
million in 1999 from $328 million in 1998, representing an increase of 14%,
while average noninterest-bearing demand deposits also increased $30 million
or 22%. The net interest margin of 6.03% for 1999 reflects an increase of 1
basis point from that of 1998. This increase in net interest margin resulted
primarily from average interest-earning asset growth out pacing average
interest-bearing deposits, and the effective interest rate paid on deposits
was significantly lower than 1998. This increase was partially offset by both
the decrease in the prime rate from an average of 8.3% in 1998 to 8.0% in
1999 (since a majority of Scripps' loans are tied to the prime rate, a
decrease in the rate immediately affects net interest income) and continued
competitive pressure in pricing loans. Comparing 1998 to 1997, SFC's average
interest-earning assets increased to $472 million in 1998 from $368 million
in 1997, representing an increase of 29% which resulted from increases in all
interest-earning asset categories. Average interest-bearing deposits
increased to $328 million in 1998 from $258 million in 1997, representing an
increase of 27%, while average noninterest-bearing demand deposits also
increased $29 million or 27%. The net interest margin of 6.02% for 1998
reflects a decrease of 29 basis points from that of 1997.

                                      20
<PAGE>

This decrease in net interest margin resulted primarily from both the
decrease in the prime rate from an average of 8.4% in 1997 to 8.3% in 1998,
and competitive loan pricing.

SFC's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as a
"volume change." It is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities,
referred to as a "rate change." The following table sets forth the categories
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the average
amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts, and the
average rate earned or paid for the periods indicated. The table also sets
forth the average rate earned on all interest-earning assets, the average
rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities, and the net yields earned by
SFC for the same periods.

(1)  Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balances used in this table.

(2)  Net interest spread is the difference between the average rate on total
     interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

(3)  Net interest margin is net interest income divided by average
     interest-earning assets.

The following table illustrates the changes in Scripps' net interest income
due to changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by initial rate) and
changes in interest rate (change in rate multiplied by initial volume) for
the periods indicated. Changes attributable to the combined effect of volume
and interest rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes in
volume and the changes in interest rate.

</TABLE>

(1) Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balances used in calculating
    this table.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to bring the total reserve
for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based upon such
factors as historical loss experience, the volume and type of lending
conducted by Scripps, the amounts of classified and nonperforming assets,
regulatory policies and examination results, concentrations, general economic
and business conditions, credit quality trends, and other factors related to
the collectability of loans in Scripps' portfolio. The provision for loan
losses was $7.2 million for 1999, an increase of $5.4 million or 301%
compared to the provision for loan losses of $1.8 million for 1998, which in
turn represented an increase of $0.3 million or 24% compared to the provision
for loan losses of $1.5 million for 1997.

The increase in the provision for 1999 reflects the following: Scripps
charged-off two large loans in 1999 totalling $6.4 million, average loans
increased 19% over the prior year and non-accrual loans increased 128% for
the same period. Factors influencing the 1998 provision include the 26%
increase in average loans over the prior year and the increase of 39% in
non-accrual loans for the same period.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999,
unchanged compared with noninterest income of $6 million for 1998, which
represented an increase of $1 million or 13% compared with noninterest income
of $5 million for 1997. In 1999 trust income increased by 18%, but was offset
by a decrease in service charge and other income. The primary reasons for the
increase in noninterest income over the years presented are growth in trust
assets under administration of 20% to $804 million over the two year period
ended December 31,

                                      23
<PAGE>

1999 and growth in deposits of 38% to $582 million over the two year period
ended December 31, 1999. There continues to be high levels of competition in
the deposit services and trust services arena.

The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense was $24 million for 1999, an increase of $1 million or 5%
compared with noninterest expense of $23 million for 1998, and an increase of
$3 million or 13% compared with noninterest expense of $20 million for 1997.
Personnel expense was $13.5 million for 1999, an increase of $1.5 million or
12% compared with personnel expense of $12 million for 1998, and an increase
of $1 million or 10% compared with personnel expense of $11 million for 1997.
Occupancy expense was $2.7 million for 1999, an increase of $0.2 million or
6% compared with occupancy expense of $2.5 million for 1998, and an increase
of $0.4 million or 15% compared with occupancy expense of $2.1 million for
1997. The aggregate increases over the three-year period principally reflect
the additional costs associated with opening new locations as part of SFC's
long-term growth strategy. In 1998, noninterest expense included expenses
associated with the Scripps-PCB merger.

Data processing expense was $0.2 million for 1999, a decrease of $0.6 million
or 72% compared with data processing expense of $0.8 million for 1998, an
increase of $0.2 million or 23% compared with data processing expense of $0.6
million for 1997. The decrease in data processing expense resulted
principally from the in house servicing of the acquired PCB offices along
with enhanced technical functionality from equipment acquired in 1998. The
increase over the prior two-year period resulted principally from the
increase in volumes processed due to loan and deposit growth, offset in part
by enhanced technical functionality from equipment acquired in 1996.

The following table sets forth the amount of each of the various categories
of noninterest expense for the periods indicated.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $3 million, $4 million and $3 million for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Effective tax
rates, the percentage of earnings set aside for federal and state income
taxes were 39%, 41% and 39% for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The decrease in effective rate reflects higher levels of
tax exempt income in 1999, as compared to 1998, while 1998 experienced a rise
in the effective rate due to lower levels of tax-exempt income over 1997.

LOANS AND ASSET QUALITY

Net loans (gross loans less unearned income and reserve for loan losses) were
$392 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of $56 million or 17% from
loans of $336 million at December 31, 1998. This increase followed loan
growth of $56 million or 20% from loans of $280 million at December 31, 1997.
This increase was preceded by an increase of $68 million or 32% from loans of
$212 million at the end of 1996. The rate of loan growth for these periods
increased due to an overall improvement in the Southern California economy as
well as Scripps' positive reputation in the community to provide quality
service and products. Management expects loan growth to be moderate in 2000
assuming that the economy will remain strong, but that the overall
competition for loans will be a factor to contend with. If the economy
weakens or competition increases, loan growth may be less than expected.

Scripps' lending activities are guided by the basic lending policy
established by its Board of Directors. The Scripps Board of Directors has
established loan approval limits for the officers of Scripps. Under
regulations governing California state-chartered banks, Scripps may lend up
to 15% of its total capital on an unsecured basis and 25% of its total
capital on a secured basis to any one borrower, up to a limit of 25% of total
capital for all direct and indirect loans to any one borrower. Additionally,
loan concentrations are defined as amounts loaned to a number of borrowers
engaged in similar activities or resident in the same geographic region,
which would cause them to be similarly affected by economic or other
conditions. Scripps, on a regular and periodic basis, evaluates these
concentrations for the purposes of making corrections in its lending
practices in consideration of economic conditions, industry trends and a
variety of other factors. As a result of SFC's market focus, Scripps has a
concentration of its customers and assets in San Diego County.

The following table sets forth the composition of Scripps' loan portfolio by
type of loan on the dates indicated in terms of amount and as a percentage of
the total loan portfolio.

All real estate related loans                     34%               $135,473
</TABLE>

Much of the San Diego economy is based on real estate development and
investment. As noted above, real estate related borrowers make up
approximately 34% of Scripps' loan portfolio, therefore the portfolio is
vulnerable to stress in this sector. The Bank has several tools in place to
mitigate exposure in the real estate sector, such as conservative
underwriting practices, monitoring of sales price trends, centralized
monitoring of loans based on accounts or contracts receivable or work in
process, and a concerted focus on the underlying strength of the borrower.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Generally, Scripps' policy is to discontinue accrual of interest on loans,
which are delinquent for 90 days, or more unless management determines that a
loan is adequately collateralized or other circumstances justify treating a
loan as fully collectable. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, income
is not recognized until payment has actually been received and future
payments of principal and interest appear certain. Interest income, which has
been accrued up to the point a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, is
reversed if management determines that the collectability of the accrued
interest is doubtful. Real estate acquired by Scripps as a result of
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate
owned. Such real estate is reclassified to real estate owned at the lower of
cost or fair value less estimated selling costs, and any estimated loss upon
reclassification is charged to allowance for losses at that time. Further
increases to the allowance for losses on real estate owned are recorded as
charges to noninterest expense at the time such costs are incurred or
management believes additional deterioration in value has occurred.

Management regularly reviews and monitors the loan portfolio to identify
borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Management believes that as of
December 31, 1999, all problem loans to date had been identified and included
in the nonaccrual or 90 days past due totals reflected below. Management, as
part of the responsibilities of Credit Administration and Regulatory Risk
Management, is particularly focused upon the objective of reducing its
nonperforming and classified assets. In fact, management noted an increase in
nonperforming loans in 1999 and is closely monitoring the adequacy of the
loan loss reserve in light of this increase. There can be no assurance that
management will achieve the objective of reducing nonperforming and
classified assets.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to Scripps'
nonaccrual loans, accruing loans for which payments of principal and interest
are contractually past due 90 days or more, and real estate owned for the
periods indicated.

</TABLE>

Reductions in real estate owned over the years presented have resulted
principally from Scripps' efforts to dispose of, and keep to a minimum,
holdings of such non-earning assets. The bank's level of restructured loans
was $1,351,000, $549,000, $643,000, $651,000 and $2,252,000 at December 31,
1999, 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively, for which it had established
reserves for potential losses of $150,000, $97,000, $153,000, $164,000 and
$475,000.

Scripps has a Special Assets Department with the primary responsibilities of
regular internal loan quality reviews and the monitoring and disposition of
nonperforming and classified assets. However, there can be no assurance that
reductions in the balance and percent of nonperforming assets will occur in
the future.

RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES

In originating loans, Scripps recognizes that credit losses will be
experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things,
general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the
creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case
of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for such loan.
Management maintains a reserve for loan losses at a level considered adequate
to absorb known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management's
evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve is ongoing and comprehensive.

The following table set forth the breakdown of the allocation of the reserve
for loan losses by category of loan on the dates indicated. The allocation of
the reserve to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses
and does not restrict the use of the reserve to absorb losses in any other
category.

Management has and will continue to actively monitor Scripps' asset quality,
to charge off loans against the reserve for loan losses when appropriate and
to provide for specific losses when necessary. Although management believes
it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to
the reserve for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic
conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial
determinations. There can be no assurance that economic conditions that may
adversely affect SFC's market area or other circumstances will not result in
increased loan losses in Scripps' loan portfolio.

The following table sets forth an analysis of Scripps' reserve for loan
losses for the periods indicated.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

Scripps' investment portfolio is used primarily for liquidity purposes and
secondarily for investment income. Investment securities classified as available
for sale ("AFS") are stated at their current market value with stockholders'
equity being adjusted for the after-tax unrecognized gain (loss) on said
securities. Investment securities classified as held to maturity ("HTM") are
stated at cost, decreased by amortization of premium and increased by accretion
of discount, over the period to maturity of the related securities. During 1999
and 1998, Scripps classified its entire investment portfolio as available for
sale. Management attempts to maintain investment

                                   30
<PAGE>

securities in its portfolio that offer a stable total return profile over a
wide range of interest rate environments, as well as securities with varied
maturities (a "laddered" portfolio) so that, under normal conditions, there
should be no need to sell securities prior to maturity dates, thereby
minimizing the impact of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income.
However, there can be no assurance that Scripps' investment securities will
continue to reflect a stable total return profile over time or that SFC would
not sell any investment securities during a rising interest rate environment
and recognize a loss.

Scripps' current investment policy enables management to invest primarily in
United States Treasury and Government Agency obligations, United States
Government-sponsored agency securities, mortgage-backed securities,
collateralized mortgage obligations and obligations of states and political
subdivisions with a maximum aggregate portfolio duration not to exceed four
years. Scripps uses an investment advisor to provide added expertise with
respect to managing the portfolio. Scripps retains control of all investment
decisions. Equity Securities are comprised of mutual fund shares in a variable
rate government bond fund, which was acquired through the merger with PCB.

The following table sets forth an analysis of Scripps' investment portfolio as
of the dates indicated.

DEPOSIT ACTIVITIES

Scripps attracts deposits through the offering of a broad variety of deposit
instruments for both the consumer and business customer including checking
accounts, money market accounts, negotiable orders of withdrawal ("NOW")
accounts, savings accounts, term certificates of deposit (including "jumbo"
certificates in denominations of $100,000 or more), and retirement savings
plans.

Scripps' average balance of total deposits was approximately $538 million for
the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $74 million or 16% compared
with the average balance of total deposits for 1998. Scripps' average balance of
total deposits was approximately $464 million for the year ended December 31,
1998, an increase of $99 million or 27% compared with the average balance of
total deposits of approximately $365 million for 1997.

The following table sets forth the average balances and weighted average rates
for Scripps' categories of deposits for the periods indicated.

LIQUIDITY

The objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources
and uses of funds in such a way that the cash requirements of customers for
loans and deposit withdrawals are met in the most economical manner. Management
monitors its liquidity position continuously in relation to trends of loans and
deposits for short term as well as long term requirements. Liquid resources are
monitored on a daily basis to assure maximum availability. Management also
manages its liquidity requirements by maintaining an adequate level of readily
marketable assets (primarily Federal funds and investment securities available
for sale) and access to short term funding sources. Currently, Scripps also has
a line of credit of $22 million from non-affiliated financial institutions that
enable it to borrow Federal funds on an unsecured basis. Scripps also has a
secured discount window borrowing facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of $82
million and a secured borrowing facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
approximately $23 million. At December 31, 1999, Scripps had no amounts
outstanding in connection with any of its borrowing facilities. Management uses
several tools and processes to monitor liquid resources: semi-monthly liquidity
projection reports, liquidity and volatile deposit dependency ratios, deposit
product trends, weekly deposit rate management, and daily large balance
fluctuation reports, among others.

Management uses a Bank liquidity ratio, defined as the sum of unpledged
marketable securities, Federal funds sold, and cash and balances due from banks
divided by total deposits, as a measurement tool indicating the volume of liquid
resources. This ratio will increase or decrease in response to general economic
conditions, loan demand, the phases of the interest rate cycle, and deposit
growth/contraction, among other things, and was approximately 37%, 42% and 39%
at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in the liquidity
ratio from 1998 to 1999 actually reflects a more cost-effective level of
liquidity that is well within Scripps' policy guidelines. There can be no
assurance that Scripps liquidity will continue to be maintained at a level
comparable to that in 1999. Additionally, Scripps closely monitors its
loan-to-deposit ratio. This ratio (calculated as gross loans divided by total
deposits) was 68%, 64% and 68% at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Management anticipated the ratio increase in 1999 with the
expanding local economy. This ratio decreased between 1998 and 1997, primarily
as a result of deposit growth outpacing loan growth. There can be no assurances
that the economy will continue to expand or that loans will outpace deposit
growth.

                                   33
<PAGE>

Scripps' ratio of core deposits (defined as customers' deposits less time
certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more) to total deposits was 88% at
December 31, 1999, compared to 89% at December 31, 1998, compared with 87% at
December 31, 1997. While total time deposits as a percent of total deposits has
been 18%, 17% and 20% for December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, the
percent of time deposits greater than $100,000 has increased, thereby decreasing
the core deposit ratio. A significant portion of Scripps' core deposits is
concentrated in the Scripps Money Fund, a higher interest-bearing demand deposit
product that comprised $192 million or 33% of total deposits at December 31,
1999. The Money Fund balance at December 31, 1999 represented a decrease of $3
million or 2% from the balance of $195 million or 37% of deposits at December
31, 1998. Comparing 1998 and 1997, the Money Fund increased $78 million or 67%
from the balance of $117 million or 33% of deposits at year end 1997. Another
significant portion of Scripps' core deposits is non-interest-bearing demand
deposits. These deposits increased to $166 million or 31% of deposits at
December 31, 1999, from $136 million or 29% at December 31, 1998. Comparing 1998
and 1997, non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $29 million or 29% from
the balance of $107 million or 32% of deposits at year end 1997. Management
attempts to actively monitor its liquidity position and deposit composition;
however, there can be no assurance that Scripps' overall liquidity position and
deposit base will continue to be satisfactory in the future.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total stockholders' equity was $45 million at December 31, 1999, an increase
of $1 million or 4% compared with stockholders' equity of $44 million as of
December 31, 1998. This increase is attributable primarily to earnings of $4
million for 1999 and new share issuances of $0.6 million, partially offset by
the increase in unrealized holding loss on available for sale securities and
dividends declared of $0.8 million. Total stockholders' equity of $44 million
at December 31, 1998, reflects an increase of $6 million or 15% compared with
stockholders' equity of $38 million as of December 31, 1997. This increase is
primarily the result of the earnings of $6 million for 1998, partially offset
by dividends declared of approximately $0.8 million.

Management seeks to maintain capital adequate to support anticipated asset
growth and credit risks and to ensure that SFC is within established regulatory
guidelines and industry standards. The 1992 risk-based capital guidelines
adopted by the FRB and FDIC require SFC to maintain certain minimum ratios of
capital to risk-weighted assets. In addition, the FRB and FDIC have adopted a
leverage ratio that requires a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets.
Higher minimum requirements for an institution may be established if, for
example, a bank has previously received special attention or has a higher
susceptibility to interest rate risk. These risk-based capital guidelines
require state banks to have a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted
assets of four percent and a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted
assets of eight percent. As depicted in the following table, the capital ratios
of SFC have continuously exceeded the federal minimum regulatory requirements
for a well-capitalized institution.

The following table sets forth the actual capital ratios of SFC as of the dates
indicated.

IMPACT OF INFLATION, CHANGING PRICES AND MONETARY POLICIES

                                   34
<PAGE>

The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data
concerning SFC presented in this filing have been prepared in terms of
historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power
of money over time due to inflation in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of SFC
is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies,
virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are
monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more
significant effect on the performance of a financial institution than do the
effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices.
Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same
magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Interest rates are highly
sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of SFC, including the
influence of domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and
fiscal policies of the United States government and federal agencies,
particularly the FRB. The FRB implements national monetary policy such as
seeking to curb inflation and combat recession by its open market operations in
United States government securities, control of the discount rate applicable to
borrowing by banks and the establishment of reserve requirements against bank
deposits. The actions of the FRB in these areas influence the growth of bank
loans, investments and deposits, and affect the interest rates charged on loans
and paid on deposits. The nature, timing and impact of any future changes in
federal monetary and fiscal policies on SFC and its results of operations are
not predictable.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." This Statement 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. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure
those instruments at fair value. For SFC, this new standard is effective in 2000
and is not to be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods.
The impact of this Statement, if any, is yet to be determined.

OUR PERFORMANCE DEPENDS ON THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ECONOMY

All of SFC's operations are in Southern California, principally San Diego
County. As a result of this geographic concentration, our growth and
operations are significantly influenced by local economic conditions. There
can be no assurance that general economic conditions and the local business
environment will continue to be favorable. During California's economic
downturn of the early 1990's, many actual and prospective customers of SFC
experienced reductions in their net worth, cash flow and the value of their
real estate.

FLUCTUATIONS IN INTEREST RATES AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Changes in interest rates will affect the value of Scripps' investment
securities portfolio, all of which is designated as available for sale, and
which at December 31, 1999 represented 25.8% of total assets. Generally, an
increase in interest rates would result in a decline in the value of fixed
rate investment securities available for sale, which would result in a
corresponding adjustment, net of tax effects, in shareholders' equity.
Therefore, Scripps' shareholders' equity and regulatory capital levels could
be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates, due to a reduction in
the value of investment securities available for sale. An increase in
interest rates would also generally cause a decline in the market value of
Scripps' fixed rate loan portfolio, which at December 31, 1999 represented
approximately 22% % of total assets. Approximately 41% of assets at December
31, 1999 were comprised of variable rate loans tied to Prime or similar
indices. A decline in interest rates will generally have the immediate effect
of reducing interest income associated with such loans. Declines in interest
rates will also typically result in accelerated loan prepayments, which can
impact our net interest income and profitability.

FLUCTUATIONS IN INTEREST RATES CAN REDUCE DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES AND LOANS

The operations of SFC and Scripps are significantly influenced by general
economic conditions and by the related monetary and fiscal policies of the
Federal government. The nature, timing and impact of any future changes in
federal monetary and fiscal policies on Scripps and its results of operations
are not predictable. Deposit flows and the cost of funds are influenced by
interest rates of competing investments and general market rates of interest.
Lending activities are affected by the demand for loans which, in turn, is
affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and by
other factors affecting the availability of funds.

Increases in the level of interest rates may reduce the demand for loans and
therefore the amount of loans originated by Scripps and, thus, the amount of
loan and commitment fees. Moreover, decreases in interest rates relative to
the rate of return on other investment vehicles may result in
disintermediation, which is the flow of funds away from depository
institutions into direct investments, such as corporate securities and other
investment vehicles which, because of the absence of Federal deposit
insurance, generally pay higher rates of return than deposits in depository
institutions.

COMPETITION MAY AFFECT OUR MARKET SHARE

The banking business in California generally, and in Scripps' market area
specifically, is highly competitive with respect to both loans and deposits.
The trust and investment management services business in Scripps' market area
is also highly competitive. Scripps competes for loans, deposits and trust
services with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, finance
companies, money market funds, credit unions, brokerage firms and other
financial institutions,

                                      36

<PAGE>

including a number of institutions that have significantly greater financial
resources than Scripps. Scripps also competes for business with institutions
in unregulated industries. Deregulation has increased competition for deposit
and loan business over the past several years. After interstate banking
became lawful in the 1990's, bank holding companies headquartered outside of
California entered the California market, providing further competition for
Scripps. Many of the major commercial banks operating in Scripps' market area
offer certain services which Scripps does not offer directly but can provide
through a correspondent bank or through other financial services providers.
Banks with larger capitalization also have larger lending limits and are
thereby better able to serve the higher dollar needs of larger customers.
There are no assurances that the strategies of Scripps for responding to this
competition will succeed.

AN ADVERSE REAL ESTATE MARKET COULD AFFECT OUR LOAN PORTFOLIO

On December 31, 1999, Scripps had approximately $178.2 million in loans
secured in whole or in part by real property, including interim construction
loans, short, intermediate, and long term commercial and residential real
estate loans, home improvement loans, and equity lines of credit. This
reflects approximately 45% of Scripps' total loan portfolio at that date. A
sharp and significant decline in real estate prices would potentially have a
material adverse affect on Scripps' lending activities and on the quality of
Scripps' real estate loan portfolio.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENT REGULATION

SFC and Scripps are subject to extensive state and federal supervision,
regulation and legislation. We cannot predict the precise impact of recent
legislation, nor the probable course or impact of future legislation or
regulatory actions affecting the financial services industry.

WE NEED TO IMPLEMENT GROWTH SUCCESSFULLY

SFC and Scripps plan to expand its regional office network over time
throughout San Diego County. The overall success of this strategy will
largely depend on SFC's and Scripps' ability to manage its credit, interest
rate and fiduciary risks, control costs, and attract and retain high quality
personnel with business followings and skills sufficient for SFC and Scripps
to operate profitably in new markets, while continuing to provide
relationship-oriented banking services and competitive financial products.
There are no assurances that existing and prospective customers will be
responsive to, or have the need for, the services offered by SFC and Scripps
in new markets. In addition, we may not receive the approvals required by the
Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"), California Department of Financial
Institutions ("DFI") and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") in
order to grow into new markets. Expansion activity will likely require the
expenditure of substantial sums to lease or purchase real property and
equipment and to hire high quality, experienced and regionally-oriented new
personnel. Our expansion may not generate the returns our management
anticipates. Our ability to implement our growth strategy may depend on our
retention of existing management.

OUR STOCK MAY NOT BE LIQUID

SFC Common Stock was listed on the American Stock Exchange in October 1999.
Accordingly, there has been a very limited trading market for SFC Common
Stock. Any swing in the price of our stock may be magnified into a material
reduction in price because relatively few buyers may be available to purchase
our stock. No assurance can be given that an active public market will exist
in the future.

                                      37

<PAGE>

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE

The market price of SFC common stock has been volatile, reflecting loan
write-offs, quarterly variations in our operating results, changes in market
interest in local banks and financial stocks in general, and economic and
financial conditions.

WE MAY NOT PAY DIVIDENDS

The California Financial Code restricts the payment of dividends by bank
holding companies and banks. While SFC has paid cash and stock dividends in
the past on its Common Stock, there can be no assurance that it will continue
to do so or will be legally permitted to do so in the future. Any payment of
dividends by SFC will depend on receipt of dividends from Scripps.

Generally, California state banks such as Scripps may not declare or pay a
dividend without the prior written approval of the California Commissioner,
if the total of all dividends declared by such bank in any calendar year
would exceed the total of its net profits, as defined, for that year combined
with its retained net profits, as defined, for the preceding two years.

The payment of dividends by Scripps is also affected by various regulatory
requirements and policies, such as the requirement to maintain capital at or
above regulatory guidelines. In addition, if, in the opinion of the
applicable regulatory authority, a bank under its jurisdiction is engaged in
or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which, depending on
the financial condition of the bank, could include the payment of dividends),
such authority may require, after notice and hearing, that such bank cease
and desist from such practice. The FDIC has issued policy statements which
provide that insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current
operating earnings. If Scripps is unable to pay dividends or if the Scripps
board of directors determines to reduce its payment of dividends to SFC, SFC
in turn may be unable to make or may reduce dividend payments to its
shareholders.

OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS MAY DETER ACQUISITIONS

The organizational documents of SFC contain certain provisions designed to
encourage takeover bidders to engage in arm's-length negotiations with SFC
before attempting a takeover. However, these provisions may make the SFC
Common Stock less attractive to potential acquirers and may serve as a
deterrent to acquisitions of SFC Common Stock, thus potentially preventing
shareholders from realizing a return on their investment in an acquisition.

The Board of Directors of SFC is authorized, without further shareholder
approval, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more
series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions
granted or imposed upon any unissued shares of preferred stock and to fix the
number of shares constituting any series and the designations of such shares.
The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing
a change in control of SFC. The issuance of preferred stock could decrease
the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders
of SFC Common Stock or could adversely effect the rights and powers,
including voting rights, of the holders of SFC Common Stock. In certain
circumstances, such issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market
price of the Common Stock.


ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

SFC's balance sheet consists of interest-earning assets, primarily loans and
investment securities, which are principally funded by interest-bearing
liabilities, primarily deposits. These financial instruments have varying levels
of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates resulting in market risk. In
evaluating the exposure of SFC to market risk, management relies on gap analysis
and rate shock analysis. Gap analysis provides information on the timing and
repricing differences between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive
liabilities. Rate shock analysis provides management with estimates of the
impact of immediate changes in interest rates both in terms of the change in net
interest income and the change in fair market value of these instruments. There
are certain shortcomings inherent in these methods and the following table that
must be considered in evaluating market risk. Although certain assets may have
similar maturities or periods to reprice, they may react in different degrees to
changes in interest rates or they may precede or lag behind changes in market
interest rates. In addition, certain interest rate sensitive assets may have
contractual limitations to changes in interest rates. SFC considers these
various factors and their anticipated effects in managing the company's exposure
to interest rate risk.

Management seeks to maintain a reasonably balanced interest rate risk position
over one year to protect its financial condition and net interest margin from
market fluctuations in interest rates. Overall management strategies to reduce
SFC's interest rate risk consist of: (i) maintaining a majority of its loan
assets and deposit liabilities on an adjustable rate basis, (ii) limiting the
volume of its loans with terms-to-maturity in excess of five years and (iii)
maintaining a portion of its investment securities with varied terms to
maturity. Additionally, Scripps maintains a Management Asset/Liability Committee
and a Directors Asset/Liability Committee, both of which review on a regular and
periodic basis such matters as earnings, asset quality, asset and liability mix,
liquidity and funding sources, investment resources, capital, interest rate
risk, and economic events and trends, among other matters. Both Committees
review bank compliance with a set of Board-approved directives with which
Scripps should comply to meet its asset and liability management objectives.

The following table presents additional information about SFC's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Cash flows in this
presentation are grouped by maturity dates rather than repricing dates.
Consideration is given to prepayment assumptions for mortgage-backed securities
(MBS), including collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). The cash flows from
mortgage-backed securities are influenced by prepayments, which are dependent on
a number of factors, including the current interest rate and the interest rate
on the security, the availability of refinancing of the underlying mortgages at
attractive terms, as well as geographic specific factors

                                   38

which affect the sales and price levels of residential property. SFC's
management uses average prepayment speeds provided by Wall Street dealers to
calculate principal repayments and estimated maturity dates for these
securities. The cash flows for other securities are based on the actual
maturity dates of the instruments, except for equity securities. Equity
securities, for which there is no contractual maturity, consist of a variable
rate government fund, which is included in the second column (after one year
but within two years). Fair values for investment securities are based on
quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Loans are distinguished by variable or
fixed rates. Because variable rate loans are repricable immediately as market
rates change, the fair value is assumed to be equal to the carrying value.
The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow
calculation. Non-maturing deposits consist of interest-bearing demand,
savings, and money market accounts and have no maturity dates. Cash flow
amortizations for these deposits are included in the first column (within one
year). The fair value of non-maturing deposits is estimated to be the
carrying value, which is the amount payable on demand. Time deposits are
grouped according to contractual maturity dates. The fair value of time
deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation. Average
interest rates represent the weighted average yield in each category.

procedures and related internal control systems. Management believes that
these systems and controls provide reasonable assurance that assets are
safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorizations and properly recorded to permit the preparation of reliable
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that material errors or irregularities are either prevented
or detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Scripps Financial Corporation, a California corporation ("SFC"), was formed
on May 14, 1999 as a federally regulated bank holding company. Its
wholly-owned subsidiary Scripps Bank ("the Bank") is a California State
Banking Corporation organized in 1983, whose primary business is commercial
banking. At December 31, 1999, the Bank is the only business activity of SFC.
The accounting and reporting policies of SFC are in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and conform to practices within the banking
industry. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. A summary of the significant accounting policies used in the
preparation of these consolidated financial statements follows.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS COMBINATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
both SFC and the Bank. All inter-company transactions and balances have been
eliminated.

The merger in August 1998 with Pacific Commerce Bank, as described in Note
13, was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Under this method of
accounting, the assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity of Pacific
Commerce Bank were carried forward at their historical amounts and its
results of operations were combined with the Bank's results of operations,
retroactively for all periods. No adjustments to conform accounting methods
of the merged company to the Bank were required. Certain amounts have been
reclassified with regard to presentation of the financial information of the
merged banks.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Bank has classified its entire securities portfolio as available-for-sale
at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at
estimated market value with the unrealized cumulative gain or loss being
reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of
stockholders' equity. The held-to-maturity securities acquired through the
merger with Pacific Commerce Bank were transferred to the available-for-sale
account at the merger date, resulting in a decrease in unrealized gain of
$19,000, net of tax of $13,000. The amortized cost of these securities at the
date of the merger was $3,860,000. Gains and losses realized upon sale of
securities are determined using the specific identification method.

LOANS AND LEASES

Loans are reported at their outstanding principal amount, net of unearned
discounts and fees. Unearned discounts and interest on loans and other
interest earning assets are accrued monthly as earned. The accrual of
interest on loans is discontinued when, in management's judgment, the
interest will not be paid in accordance with contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Loan origination fees, net of direct costs, are amortized to
interest income as an adjustment of yield over the term of the loan.

The Bank considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information
and events, it is probable that the Bank may not collect amounts due
according to the original contractual terms of, and as scheduled in, the
original loan agreement. The Bank measures impaired loans by using one of the
following methods: (i) the present value of expected cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate; (ii) the observable value of the loan's
market price; or (iii) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. Cash receipts for impaired loans placed on non-accrual
status are first applied to reduce principal.

Direct financing lease agreements are recorded at the aggregate of lease
payments receivable and the estimated residual values, net of unearned
income. Lease income is recognized to yield a level rate of return on the net
investment in leases outstanding.


                                        47

<PAGE>

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Real estate acquired in satisfaction of loan obligations is recorded at the
lower of the loan balance at the date of acquisition, the present value of
expected cash flows or the fair value less expected selling costs. Subsequent
operating expenses or income, reductions in estimated value, and gains or
losses upon sale are charged to earnings as incurred.

RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Bank maintains a reserve for estimated loan losses at a level considered
adequate by the Bank to provide for known and inherent risks in the loan and
lease portfolio. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to expense
and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management's evaluation of the
adequacy of the reserve includes periodic review and assessment of the
overall risk in the loan and lease portfolio, prior loan and lease loss
experience, and prevailing and anticipated economic conditions.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets (3 to 25 years). Leasehold improvements are
capitalized and amortized over the term of the lease or the estimated useful
life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repair costs
are expensed as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Capital leases are included in premises and equipment at cost, less
accumulated depreciation.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided using the liability method of accounting. Under
this method, a deferred tax asset and/or liability is computed for both the
expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax
basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be
derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. This method also
requires the establishment of a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reflect
the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. The effect of tax rate
changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN ("ESOP")

The guaranteed borrowing by SFC's ESOP Trust is reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements as both a liability and a reduction of
stockholders' equity. The debt service requirements of the plan are funded by
contributions from SFC. Such contributions are included in non-interest
expense for the period in which the contributions are made.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

SFC has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("the Plan"), which allows shareholders
to automatically reinvest all or a portion of cash dividends paid on their
shares of Common Stock in newly issued shares without payment of any
brokerage commissions or service charges. The Plan is currently suspended
until such time as the necessary SEC registration filing is made.

EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")

Basic EPS represents net income divided by the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period excluding any potential dilutive effects. The
weighted average number of shares used for the computation of basic EPS was
6,879,000, 6,754,000 and 6,726,000 shares in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potential issuances of common
stock that would have caused basic EPS to be lower as if the issuance had
already occurred. Accordingly, diluted EPS reflects an increase in the
weighted average shares outstanding of 112,000, 220,000 and 261,000 for 1999,
1998 and 1997 respectively, due to the assumed exercise of stock options.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand, amounts due from banks, and Federal funds sold.

Total interest paid on deposits in 1999, 1998 and 1997 aggregated approximately
$14,377,000, $13,991,000 and $10,778,000, respectively. Income taxes paid in
1999, 1998 and 1997 total approximately $4,250,000, $4,294,000 and $3,280,000,
respectively. Dividends declared, not yet paid in 1999, 1998 and 1997 were
$415,000, $408,000 and $300,000, respectively.

TRUST DEPARTMENT

In accordance with the usual practice of financial institutions, the assets and
liabilities of individual trusts, agencies, and fiduciary funds are not included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Trust assets under
management total approximately $804,400,000 and $867,312,000 at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

The collateralized mortgage obligations owned by the Bank at December 31, 1999
are issued or guaranteed by a US Government Agency ("GNMA") or US
Government-sponsored Agencies ("FNMA" and "FHLMC") or are collateralized by
mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the same agencies. These
securities have weighted average lives estimated at less than five years,
although actual terms to maturity may differ due to the variability of principal
repayments. Equity securities are comprised of mutual fund shares in a
variable-rate government bond fund.

</TABLE>

The maturities of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage
obligations, and Small Business Administration (a US Government Agency)
loan-backed securities will differ from contractually-stated maturities because
the mortgages or loans underlying the securities amortize regularly and may also
prepay without penalty; in addition, equity securities have no stated maturity
date. Accordingly, these securities are listed separately in the above maturity
distribution.

Securities with a fair value of $114,676,000 and $14,867,000 at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively, were pledged to secure certain deposits and other
borrowings as required or permitted by law. Realized net gains from the sale of
securities during 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $0, $0 and $44,000, respectively. The
increase in pledged securities between 1998 and 1999 was the result of the
Bank's decision to establish Y2K liquidity lines, none of which were drawn on.

The Bank leases its facilities under non-cancelable operating leases that expire
at various times beginning in the years 2001 through 2026. The Bank leases one
of its offices from a partnership in which a director of the Bank is the general
partner under a lease expiring on September 24, 2006. In the opinion of
management, the terms of the lease are comparable to the terms of other leases
that could be obtained if the Bank leased similar space from an unrelated party.
The lease agreements have option periods to extend at rates equivalent to the
then market rates. The future minimum rental commitments at December 31, 1999
are as follows:

NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

SFC has a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees who meet certain age
and service requirements. The Board of Directors determines employer
contributions based on net income. During 1999, 1998 and 1997 SFC contributed to
the plan $306,000, $240,000 and $226,000, respectively. The Scripps Bank Board
of Directors changed the plan to a matching contribution, effective January
1999. In 1999, SFC contributed an amount equal to 50% of the employee's
contribution, up to 12% of the employee's salary. Beginning January 1, 2000 the
SFC contribution was reduced to 50% of the employee's contribution, up to 6% of
the employee's salary.

In 1996, the ESOP obtained a loan to purchase shares of common stock, which are
held by a third party lender as security for the loan. The loan is guaranteed by
the Bank as to payment of principal and interest. The outstanding loan balances
at December 31, 1999 and 1998 were $44,000 and $76,000, respectively. SFC's
contributions to the ESOP during 1999, 1998 and 1997 were approximately $40,000,
$80,000 and $75,000 respectively. At December 31, 1999, approximately 103,200
shares owned by the ESOP are allocated to the ESOP participants, and
approximately 6,400 shares currently owned by the ESOP are held as collateral
for the ESOP loan.

SFC has a stock purchase plan in which all employees and directors may
participate. SFC contributes an amount equal to 25% of the participants'
contributions; these contributions are then used to purchase common stock of
SFC. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, SFC contributed $59,000, $60,000 and $46,000,
respectively, to the plan. The plan held approximately 134,000 and 122,300
shares of common stock at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The Bank has adopted supplemental retirement plans to provide additional
retirement benefits for its president. The present value of the estimated future
obligation is being accrued and funded over the vesting period.

NOTE 8 - STOCK OPTIONS

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS

SFC has granted incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to
certain officers, employees and directors to purchase common stock. The purpose
of these Plans is to advance the interest of SFC and its shareholders by
providing officers, directors and key employees with an incentive to serve and
to continue service with SFC. SFC currently has options outstanding under three
option plans, the 1998 Outside Director Plan ("1998 Plan"), the 1995 Stock
Option Plan ("1995 Plan"), and the 1992 Stock Option Plan ("1992 Plan").

The stock options under these plans vest at various rates up to five years and
expire over a period of up to ten years. No compensation cost has been
recognized for its employee stock option grants, which are fixed in nature, as
the options have been granted at a price equal to the market value of SFC's
common stock at the date of grant. Had compensation cost for SFC's stock based
compensation plans been determined based on the estimated fair value at the
grant date rather than market value during the year ended December 31, 1999,
SFC's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:

The fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of grant
using the following assumptions: for 1999: an expected option life of three and
eight years, a constant dividend yield of 1%, a risk-free interest rate of 6.62%
and 6.79%, and a volatility factor of 31%; for 1998: an expected option life of
three and eight years, a constant dividend yield of 1%, a risk-free interest
rate of 4.60% and 4.80%, and a volatility factor of 34%; for 1997: an expected
option life of eight years, a constant dividend yield of 1%, a risk-free
interest rate of 5.60%, and a volatility factor of 27%.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with disclosure requirements, management has estimated the fair
value of SFC's financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are
not available, fair value estimates are based on the present value of expected
future cash flows, or other valuation techniques, all of which are significantly
affected by the assumptions used therein. Accordingly, most fair value estimates
cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and could not
be realized from offering for sale SFC's entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument at one time. Furthermore, management does not intend to
dispose of significant portions of all of its financial instruments and, thus,
any aggregate unrealized gain or loss should not be interpreted as a forecast of
future earnings and cash flows.

                                      55

<PAGE>

Certain financial instruments such as equity investments in consolidated
subsidiaries, obligations for pension and other postretirement benefits and
deferred compensation arrangements, among others, are generally excluded from
fair value disclosure requirements. In addition, the fair value estimates do not
attempt to include the value of anticipated future business, such as trust and
core deposit relationships, and the value of assets and liabilities that are not
considered financial instruments such as deferred tax assets, intangibles, and
premises and equipment.

The fair values of financial instruments are derived using numerous subjective
assumptions and may not be necessarily indicative of the net realizable or
liquidation value of these instruments. These fair value estimates involve
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be
determined with precision. The fair values are also influenced by the estimation
methods, including discount rates and cash flow assumptions, chosen from
acceptable alternatives. Comparisons of fair value information among companies
are limited by variability in estimations and judgments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each material class of financial instruments at a specific point in time:

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD

The carrying amount of these financial instruments reasonably approximates fair
value.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The fair value of investment securities is based upon independently quoted
market prices.

LOANS AND LEASES

The fair value of loans and leases is based upon the aggregate estimated fair
values of each product type, giving effect to credit quality and time to
maturity. The fair value of fixed rate loans and leases is estimated by
discounting expected future cash flows, based upon rates offered as of the
reporting date for similar loans and leases. The carrying amount of variable
rate loans reasonably approximates fair value.

DEPOSITS

The fair value of demand, money market, NOW and savings deposits is the amount
payable on demand at the reporting date. The carrying amount for variable rate
time deposit accounts reasonably approximates fair value. The fair value of
fixed rate time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation.
The discount rate on such deposits is based upon rates offered as of the
reporting date for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

GUARANTEE OF LOAN TO ESOP TRUST

The carrying amount of this financial instrument reasonably approximates fair
value.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is
estimated to be the cost to terminate or otherwise settle such obligations with
counterparties. The fair value of such items at the reporting date is not
considered to be material in relation to the consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole (Note 11).

The carrying amount and fair value of SFC's financial instruments are as
follows:

NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL INSTITUTION RISK

In the normal course of its business, SFC encounters two significant types of
risk: economic and regulatory. Economic risk is comprised of three components -
interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. SFC is subject to interest
rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature and reprice
at different speeds, or on a different basis, than its interest-bearing assets.
Credit risk is the risk of default on the Bank's loan portfolio that results
from the borrower's inability or unwillingness to make contractually required
payments. Market risk results from changes in the value of assets and
liabilities which may impact, favorably or unfavorably, the realizability of
those assets and liabilities. Additionally, SFC is subject to regulations of
various governmental agencies. These regulations can and do change significantly
from period to period. SFC also undergoes periodic examinations by the
regulatory agencies, which may subject it to further changes with respect to
asset valuations, amounts of required loss allowances and operating restrictions
resulting from the regulators' judgments based on information available to them
at the time of their examination.

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit.
The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest
rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial
statements. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby
letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank uses the same
credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance sheet instruments. Since many of the loan commitments may expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation
of the counter party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and other income-producing
commercial properties.

The Bank's lending activities are concentrated in San Diego County, California.
The Bank's commercial loan portfolio is diverse as to the industries
represented. The real estate portion of the loan portfolio includes credits to
many different borrowers for a variety of projects and for residential real
estate.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Undisbursed loan commitments amount to approximately $193,604,000 and
$157,757,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Standby letters of
credit total approximately $1,927,000 and $4,447,000 at December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively. International letters of credit total approximately
$1,362,000 and $477,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

SFC is at times subject to pending and threatened legal actions that arise out
of the normal course of business. Management has reviewed these matters with
legal counsel and, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of all
pending or threatened litigation will not have a material effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of SFC.

The Bank has a line of credit available to purchase federal funds from a
non-affiliated financial institution at the prevailing market rate. The line is
subject to the availability of funds at the lending institution. The Bank also
has borrowing lines with Federal Reserve Bank "FRB" and Federal Home Loan Bank
"FHLB". Borrowing at FRB would be at the discount rate as set by FRB. Borrowing
at FHLB would be at the prevailing rate offered by FHLB. No amounts were
outstanding on any line at December 31, 1999 and 1998.

NOTE 12 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Risk-based capital guidelines issued by bank regulatory authorities incorporate
into the determination of capital adequacy an institution's asset risk profile
and off-balance sheet exposures, such as unused loan commitments and standby
letters of credit. The guidelines for an adequately capitalized institution
require a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 8.0% and a
tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 4.0%. The risk-based
capital rules have been further supplemented by a leverage ratio, defined as
tier 1 capital divided by average total assets of the most recent quarter. A
minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% is required for most banking institutions. As of
December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the appropriate regulatory
agency categorized the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action. Management is not aware of any conditions or
events subsequent to December 31, 1999, which would have caused a change in the
Bank's category. The following table summarizes SFC and the Bank's regulatory
capital ratios:

additional time commitment, the Chairman of SFC and Scripps receives $1,500 per
month for attendance at board meetings. No director has received reimbursement
for travel expenses incurred in traveling to meetings. In 1999, as a group, SFC
and Scripps non-management directors received compensation totaling $219,350 for
services in their capacity as directors. This amount does not include
approximately $34,100 contributed on their behalf by SFC and Scripps to the
Restated Stock Purchase Plan. Under the 1992 Stock Option Plan, there were
outstanding stock options for the purchase of 7,260 shares of common stock with
a weighted average exercise price of $4.96. There are no shares available for
grant in the 1992 Plan. In addition, under the 1998 Outside Directors Stock
Option Plan, each non-employee director was granted an option to purchase 1,000
shares of Common Stock of SFC after the last annual meeting and will receive an
option to purchase additional 1,000 shares upon re-election. As of December 31,
1999 there were outstanding stock options for the purchase of 30,000 shares of
Common Stock with a weighted average exercise price of $17.47. As of that date,
there were 70,000 shares available for grant.

SEVERANCE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN

Scripps has entered into a Supplemental Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan")
with Mr. Carlson. Under the Retirement Plan, if Mr. Carlson remains in the
employment of Scripps until he attains age 67, he will be entitled to a monthly
annuity payment in the base amount of $4,167. The amount of the monthly payment
will adjust annually by a three- percent increase as a cost-of-living
adjustment. If Mr. Carlson terminates employment with Scripps prior to age 67,
he may elect early commencement of a reduced monthly payment, as determined
actuarially. However, if Mr. Carlson terminates employment prior to age 67 due
to total disability, he will be entitled to the full amount of the monthly
annuity payment beginning on the first day of the month following such
termination of service. If Mr. Carlson dies and is survived by Barbara Ann
Carlson, then she will be entitled for life to monthly payments equivalent to
those Mr. Carlson would have received if he were alive. Scripps has established
a grantor trust to which it may make contributions to help satisfy its
obligations under the Retirement Plan. All assets held in the trust are subject
to the claims of general creditors of Scripps.

PRESIDENT'S UNFUNDED DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS

Scripps has entered into two Unfunded Deferred Compensation Agreements (the
"Deferred Compensation Agreements") with Mr. Carlson. Under one Deferred
Compensation Agreement, an annual benefit of $20,000 per year is to be paid to
Mr. Carlson following the latter of the dates at which he attains age 65 or the
date he separates from service with Scripps. Payments are to be made each year
beginning with the year in which Mr. Carlson attains age 66. The amount of this
payment is adjusted on each annual anniversary date to take into effect any cost
of living increases from the date in which he attains the age of 65. If Mr.
Carlson dies, is impaired by a disability, or otherwise separates from service
prior to attaining age 65, then he or Barbara Ann Carlson if he is deceased,
receives a reduced annual benefit.

Under the other Deferred Compensation Agreement, an annual benefit of $25,000
per year, increased by 3% as a cost of living adjustment, is to be paid to Mr.
Carlson commencing upon his retirement if he remains in the employment of
Scripps until the earlier of October 1, 2002 or total and permanent disability.
If Scripps terminates Mr. Carlson's employment prior to October 1, 2002 for
reasons other than cause, he is entitled to receive the retirement benefit. If
Mr. Carlson's employment is terminated by Scripps for cause at any time, no
payments will be made under this Deferred Compensation Agreement. This Deferred
Compensation Agreement includes death benefits payable to Deirdre Carlson.

The obligations of Scripps under the Deferred Compensation Agreements are
unfunded. Scripps accrues a liability for its obligations each year, but does
not set aside a separate fund to be held in trust for Mr. Carlson's benefit.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

The Bank has entered into a Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan with Mr.
Carlson. The Plan allows for awards based on the bank's attainment of certain
performance related goals. The goals will be measured as of December 31, 2001.
If the goals are met or exceeded, awards would be payable to Mr. Carlson as of
October 1, 2002. The maximum amount payable would be 140 percent of Mr.
Carlson's salary as of October 1, 2002. Mr. Carlson will have the option to
receive his award in the form of cash, SFC stock, or deferred payments up to
five years.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Scripps has entered into employment agreements ("Employment Agreements") with
Mr. Ronald Carlson and Ms. M. Catherine Wright, which provide for base annual
salaries that adjust annually. As of December 31, 1999, the base salaries of
such employees were $230,000 and $87,550, respectively. In addition, the
Employment Agreements provide for an automobile use allowance. The respective
terms of the Employment Agreements expire October 2002 and June 2001.

SCRIPPS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 1992 AND 1995 STOCK OPTION PLANS

The purpose of the SFC Stock Option Plans is to attract, retain and reward
persons providing services to SFC and certain affiliated entities and to
motivate such persons to contribute to the growth and profits of SFC. Options
may be granted to directors and full-time salaried employees, including officers
and directors who are also employees.

As of December 31, 1999, there were outstanding stock options for the purchase
of 221,249 shares of Common Stock under the Stock Option Plan originally adopted
in 1995 (the "1995 Plan") with a weighted average exercise price of $12.44 per
share. As of that date, there were 190,542 shares of Common Stock available for
grant under the 1995 Plan. As of December 31, 1999, there were outstanding stock
options for the purchase of 44,152 shares of SFC Common Stock under the Stock
Option Plan originally adopted in 1992 (the "1992 Plan"), with weighted average
exercise price of $5.32 per share. No shares of Common Stock remain available
for grant under the 1992 Plan.

BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The members of the Compensation and Nominations Committee review and recommend
to the full Scripps board of directors the salaries and other terms of
employment of executive officers of Scripps. The Scripps Compensation and
Nominations Committee, comprised of Scripps directors F. Seth Brown, Christopher
C. Calkins, Ronald J. Carlson, Martin C. Dickinson, James A. McKellar, William
F. Miller, Jr., Gail K. Naughton, and William E. Nelson held seven meetings in
1999. Except for Mr. Carlson, none of these individuals was at any time during
1999 an officer or employee of Scripps. Martin Dickinson was formerly a senior
vice president of Scripps but retired in 1996. The Compensation and Nomination
Committee considers and sets, by recommendation to the full board, the
individuals to be nominated for election to the board as well as the
compensation, titles, and other aspects of the powers and names of individuals
acting as, or being considered for, executive officers. Further, the Committee
considers and sets, by similar recommendation, the general levels of
compensation for all employees by class, not individually, and it reviews and
sets by recommendation, any and all bonus, incentive plans, or other special
awards and payments.

In its consideration of individual executive officers, weight is given to the
recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer; however, supporting data such as
industry comparisons and individual performance outcomes are also reviewed.

With respect to the CEO, his performance standards are established and agreed to
in writing at the start of each year. The Chairman of the Board (who is not an
officer or employee) reviews with the CEO the objective achievements as compared
to those agreed upon standards each quarter. This review is documented as a
signed report kept in the appropriate file.

The CEO's compensation is discussed and decided by the board when he is not
present. The degree of difficulty of the agreed performance standards, the
actual accomplishments, any special achievements, and the local industry


                                       66
<PAGE>

trends rae all issues bearing on the ultimate compensation. Since the CEO's
age at the commencement of his employment was significantly different than
the ages of other executive officers, it was clear that the standard
retirement program would seriously disadvantage him. Therefore, with the
concurrence of the full board (except the CEO who was not present) special
supplementary retirement programs were designed by a consultant and adopted
by the board.

With respect to all compensation and benefits, the performance of SFC,
objectively measured by Return on Equity, Return on Assets and other criteria
approved by the Board, is a primary factor; however, subjective factors such as
"shopping reports," customer comments and growth also have weight.

SHAREHOLDER TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE GRAPH

Set forth below is a line graph comparing the cumulative total return to
shareholders on the SFC's Common Stock with the cumulative total return on the
American Stock Exchange Composite Index (Amex) and the S & P Banks Index for the
five year period ending December 31, 1999. Since SFC was established in 1999,
the data presented prior to 1999 represents the return for Scripps Bank Common
Stock. (1)

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

Scripps from time to time has outstanding extensions of credit to individual
officers, directors, principal security holders or their associates. Extensions
of credit to such persons were made in the ordinary course of business, on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons, and did
not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other
unfavorable features. The aggregate extensions of credit by Scripps to
directors, executive officers, principal shareholders, employees and their
associates as of December 31, 1999 totaled approximately $333,194.

SFC has entered into indemnification agreements in a form originally approved by
its shareholders with each director and various executive officers containing
provisions which may require it, among other things, to indemnify its officers
and directors against liabilities that m may arise by reasons of their status or
service as officers or directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a
result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
Scripps and SFC intend to execute these agreements with their future directors
and executive officers.

                                       68

Richard B. Huntington, a director of Scripps, and his wife own shares of a
corporation that is the general partner of the lessor of Scripps' Point Loma
branch. Together, Mr. Huntington and his wife own one-third of the real estate
partnership. The ten-year lease of Scripps for this office space began in 1997.
Scripps paid for tenant improvements, which are amortized over the lease term,
and monthly rent, which increases by 4% annually; 2000 rental and premises and
equipment expenses are expected to be approximately $162,000.

In 1997 Sefton Capital Management began providing advisory services for the
securities portfolio of Scripps. This agreement was approved by the Scripps
Board of Directors. In 1998 an independent committee of the Scripps board of
directors approved the Scripps trust department entering into a contract with
Sefton Capital Management for the management of trust investment vehicles for
which investment was not otherwise designated. The fees for these services were
based upon the bank's understanding of the market rate for such services. In
1999, aggregate fees paid to Sefton Capital Management were approximately
$217,000. In the first quarter of 1999, the Trust Department reviewed the
services it could obtain elsewhere; it terminated the agreement with Sefton
Capital Management effective May 1999. Harley K. Sefton, a director of Scripps,
is an officer, principal and shareholder of Sefton Capital Management. In
November 1999 Sefton Capital Management merged into another company, at which
time the investment portfolio advisory service was moved to Chandler Asset
Management in San Diego.

The husband of Susan Whiteley, the Senior Vice President/Services and Support
Division Manager of Scripps, is the Chief Operating Officer of Advanced Network,
Inc. ANI provides Scripps with information technology consulting, automated
teller machine processing and servicing and merchant deposit processing
services. The fee arrangements with ANI were based in part on competitive bids
and were approved by the board of directors of Scripps. Scripps paid ANI an
aggregate of approximately $373,000 in 1999.

When PCB merged with and into Scripps in 1998, Dr. Salganick, the former
Chairman of PCB, became a director of Scripps and began to receive compensation
and stock options at the same level as the other outside directors of Scripps.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, each of the directors of PCB who
was party to an ongoing deferred compensation agreement elected, effective as of
the effective date of the PCB merger, to have all deferred compensation drawn
and paid within ten years of the "normal retirement date" or "expiration date."
