                           ITLA CAPITAL CORPORATION
             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements of ITLA Capital Corporation
(the "Company") included herein reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which
are in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods indicated. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its two wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Imperial Thrift and Loan Association ("Imperial" or "the
Association") and ITLA Funding Corporation ("ITLA Funding"). All material
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for 1996 to conform
to the 1997 presentation. Certain information and disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the
year.

     These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.


NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per share is calculated on the basis of weighted average number of
shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the
period, which was 7,975,442 and 6,124,610 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Fully diluted earnings per share has not
been reported in these interim financial statements as the dilutive effect of
common stock equivalents for outstanding options is less than three percent.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 128 ("SFAS 128"),
"Earnings Per Share", which will supersede APB Opinion 15, becomes effective for
periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Under SFAS 128, primary earnings per
share will be replaced with basic earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share
is computed by dividing reported earnings available to common shareholders by
weighted average shares outstanding.  No dilution for any potentially dilutive
securities is included.  The impact of SFAS 128 on the Company's earnings per
share has not been determined.


NOTE 3 - IMPAIRED LOANS RECEIVABLE

     As of March 31, 1997, the recorded investment in loans receivable that were
considered impaired under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114
was $3.8 million.  The average recorded investment in these loans during the
three month period ended March 31, 1997 was $5.1 million.  Interest income
recognized on impaired loans on a cash basis was $.1 million during both of the
three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On April 14, 1997, the Company announced that it has approved a stock
repurchase program of up to 5 percent of its outstanding shares, not to exceed
$10 million over the next 18 months.  Under this program, the Company may
acquire, at its discretion, shares of its outstanding common stock through
purchases in the open market.

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


     The following discussion and analysis is intended to identify the major
components that influenced the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company as of and for the three  month period ended March 31, 1997.

     Certain statements may be used in this Form 10-Q or future filings by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press
releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements
made with the approval of an authorized executive officer. Such words may
include "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is
anticipated," "estimate," "project," "believe," or similar expressions are
intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company wishes to caution
readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date made, and to advise readers that various
factors, including regional and national economic conditions, changes in levels
of market interest rates, credit risks of lending activities, and competitive
and regulatory factors, could affect the Company's financial performance and
could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially
from those anticipated or projected.

     The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation,
to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of
anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such
statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

NET INCOME

   Net income totaled $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to $2.2 million for the first quarter of 1996. The increase in net
earnings was primarily due to an  increase in net interest income, a reduced
provision for estimated credit losses and lower other real estate owned
expenses, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses and an
increase in the provision for income taxes. Earnings per share was $.36 for the
first quarter of 1997 compared to $.37 per share for the same period in 1996, as
the average number of shares outstanding was higher in the first quarter of 1997
compared to the same period in 1996 as a result of the April 1996 stock
offering.

NET INTEREST INCOME

   The table on the following page sets forth a summary of the changes in
interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in average interest-
earning asset and interest-bearing liability balances (volume) and changes in
average interest rates (rate).  The change in interest due to both volume and
rate have been allocated to change due to volume and rate in proportion to the
relationship of absolute dollar amounts in each.

compared to the same period in 1996 due to increases in the average balances of
loans and investments, offset by lower overall yields on loans receivable and
the lower average balance of mortgage-backed securities compared to the first
quarter of 1996. The average balance of loans receivable increased $154.8
million, or 30.3 percent, due to growth in the Company's real estate loan
portfolio. The weighted average yield on loans receivable declined to 10.85
percent for the 1997 first quarter compared to 12.00 percent for the same period
in 1996 primarily as a result of the sale of higher yielding automobile loans in
the first quarter of 1996. This sale and the origination of lower yielding real
estate loans is expected to result in the Company achieving lower average yields
in future operating periods.

   Total interest expense increased by $1.9 million in the 1997 first quarter
compared to the same period in 1996 due to an increase in the average balance of
deposit accounts, offset by a decline in the average balance of FHLB advances
and a decline in the average rate paid on deposit accounts.  The average balance
of deposit accounts increased $151.9 million during the first quarter of 1997 as
compared to the 1996 first quarter.  The average rate paid on these accounts
declined to 5.71 percent in the 1997 first quarter from 5.81 percent during the
same period in 1996.

PROVISION FOR ESTIMATED CREDIT LOSSES

   Management periodically assesses the adequacy of the allowance for credit
losses by reference to many factors which may be weighted differently at various
times depending on prevailing conditions. These factors include, among other
elements, general portfolio trends relative to asset and portfolio size, asset
categories, potential credit concentrations, nonaccrual loan levels, historical
loss experience and risks associated with changes in economic, social and
business conditions. Accordingly, the calculation of the adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses is not based solely on the level of nonperforming
assets. Management believes that the Company's allowance for credit losses as of
March 31, 1997 was adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in
the loan portfolio at that date. While management believes the estimates and
assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will
not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions
or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact
the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the
determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses is subject to
review by the Association's regulators, as part of the routine examination
process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon
their judgment of information available to them at the time of their
examination.

   The provision for estimated credit losses declined to $.6 million in the 1997
first quarter from $1.7 million in the same period in 1996, reflecting both the
decline in nonperforming loans and net charge-offs as compared to previous
periods. Nonperforming assets to total assets declined to 1.5 percent as of
March 31, 1997 from 1.6 percent as of December 31, 1996. The aggregate amount of
nonperforming assets declined to $12.3 million as of March 31, 1997 from $12.6
million at December 31, 1996. At March 31, 1997, the total allowance for credit
losses was $10.8 million or 1.6 percent of total loans receivable held for
investment. See also "Financial Condition - Nonperforming Assets and Allowance
for Credit Losses."

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

   Noninterest expense totaled $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997 compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 1996.  The increase in
noninterest expense in 1997 was due primarily to an increase in compensation and
benefits expense of $.9 million, an increase in occupancy and equipment expense
of $.1 million and an increase in other expenses of $.7 million, offset by a
reduction in the costs associated with other real estate owned ("OREO"), which
totaled  $15,000 in 1997, compared to $.6 million in 1996.  Compensation and
benefits expense increased in 1997 due to an increase in the number of full time
equivalent employees ("FTE's") to 151 at March 31, 1997 compared to 130 in the
prior year, as well as due to a non recurring benefit in the prior year which
reduced the amount of expense recognized by $.4 million.  The increase in FTE's
in 1997 compared to 1996 was due primarily to the additional staffing at ITLA
Funding.  The increase in other expense was due primarily to an increase in
advertising expense totaling approximately $.2 million, costs associated with
the commencement of operations of ITLA Funding of $.2 million, and increases in
other miscellaneous general and administrative costs of $.3 million.   The
reduction in OREO expense was commensurate with the reduction in the number of
OREO properties held by the Company.  At March 31, 1997, the Company held 20
OREO properties, compared to 36 at March 31, 1996.

   For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company's consolidated ratio of
general and administrative expense to average assets was 2.2 percent, compared
to 1.7 percent in the prior year, however, the ratio excluding the costs of ITLA
Funding was 1.9 percent in the first quarter of 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS

     Liquidity refers to the Company's ability to maintain cash flow adequate to
fund operations and meet obligations and other commitments on a timely basis,
including the payment of maturing deposits and the origination or purchase of
new loan receivables. The Company maintains a cash and investment securities
portfolio designed to satisfy operating and regulatory liquidity requirements
while preserving capital and maximizing yield. As of March 31, 1997, the Company
held approximately $60.2 million of investment securities classified as
available for sale. All investment securities held by the Company were fixed
income instruments which were rated "AAA" or better by nationally recognized
rating agencies. As of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Association's
liquidity ratios were 13.7 percent and 13.3 percent, respectively, exceeding the
regulatory requirement of 1.5 percent. In addition, the Company's liquidity
position

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
is supported by a credit facility with the FHLB of San Francisco.  As
of March 31, 1997, the Company had available borrowing capacity under this
credit facility of 102.0 million.

     Total deposit accounts declined to $669.6 million at March 31, 1997, from
$670.3 million at December 31, 1996. The Company retained 83 percent and 74
percent of the funds from maturing investment certificates through rollover of
the certificates in the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Although
the Company competes for deposits primarily on the basis of rates, based on its
historical experience regarding retention of deposits, management believes that
a significant portion of deposits will remain with the Company upon maturity on
an ongoing basis.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

  At March 31, 1997, the Association's Leverage (Core), Tier I and Total Risk-
Based capital ratios were 11.5 percent, 13.0 percent and 14.2 percent,
respectively.  At December 31, 1996 Leverage (Core), Tier I and Total Risk-Based
capital ratios were 10.6 percent, 12.0 percent and 13.3 percent, respectively.
The minimum regulatory requirement for Leverage (Core), Tier I and Risk-Based
capital are 4.0 percent, 4.0 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively.  As of March
31, 1997, the Association's capital position was designated as "well
capitalized" for regulatory purposes.

  The Company's shareholders' equity increased $2.9 million from December 31,
1996 to March 31, 1997 due to the accumulation of $2.9 million in net income as
retained earnings and a $.1 million increase from the exercise of employee stock
options, offset by a $.1 million reduction due to a decline in the fair market
value of investment securities available for sale, net of the applicable income
tax benefit.  There were no dividends declared or paid during the first three
months of 1997.
