                     NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The consolidated financial statements of Wilshire Financial Services Group
Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") are unaudited and should be read in
conjunction with the 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. A summary of the
Company's significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
  In the opinion of management, all adjustments generally comprised of normal
recurring accruals necessary for fair presentations of the interim financial
statements have been included and all intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.
 
  Certain reclassifications of 1996 amounts were made in order to conform to
the 1997 presentation, none of which affect previously reported net income.
 
2. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
 
  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS INVOLVING OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK--In hedging the
interest rate exposure of a fixed-rate or lagging-index asset, the Company may
create a hedge which matches the principal amortization of such an asset
against the maturity of the Company's liabilities generally by entering into
short sales or forward sales of U.S. Treasury securities, Government
Securities, interest rate futures contracts or interest rate swap agreements.
This results in market gains or losses on hedging instruments, in response to
interest rate increases or decreases, respectively, which approximate the
amount of the corresponding market losses or gains, respectively, on loans
being hedged. At June 30, 1997, the notional amounts of interest rate swaps
were $229,285. The weighted average fixed and floating-rate interest payments
were 6.06% and 0.29% over USD LIBOR, respectively. At June 30, 1997, the
Company also had open short positions on 530 10-year U.S. Treasury Note and
260 5-year U.S. Treasury Note interest rate futures contracts.
 
  PURCHASE COMMITMENTS--At June 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding
commitments to purchase loans at a cost of $0.5 million.
 
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," effective
December 15, 1997. Adoption of this accounting standard will not affect
previously reported earnings per share data for fiscal years ending prior to
January 1, 1997.
 
5. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS
 
  During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company completed a sale of
approximately $175 million of loans, resulting in a gain of approximately
$11.2 million. At the sale date, the Company allocated $3.5 million and $1.8
million of original cost to retained servicing rights and other participation
interests retained in the loans, respectively, and such amounts are included
in other assets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Company and notes thereto.
 
  Wilshire Financial Services Group Inc. is a diversified financial services
company. The Company conducts business in the U.S., U.S. Territories and
Europe, specializing in loan portfolio acquisition and securitization,
correspondent lending and servicing. It offers wholesale banking through two
subsidiaries, First Bank of Beverly Hills, F.S.B. ("First Bank") and Girard
Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Girard," and collectively, the "Savings Banks").
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1996
 
NET INTEREST INCOME
 
  The Company's net interest income was approximately $9.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to approximately $9.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of 8.4%. The reduction in net interest
margin and net interest spread in the six months ended June 30, 1997 primarily
reflects the increased interest cost of short-term debt incurred in the last
quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997 to fund the purchase of
approximately $141.3 million of pools of Discounted Loans, which was not
offset by a corresponding increase in interest income since relatively little
cash from Discounted Loans is generally received during the first two quarters
following an acquisition of a pool of Discounted Loans and the Company only
recognizes interest and discount on Discounted Loans when collected in cash.
The components of the Company's net interest income for these fiscal years are
discussed below.
 
  Interest Income. The Company's interest income was approximately $43.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to approximately
$22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of 99.5%.
The increase in the Company's interest income was due primarily to an increase
in interest on loans, from $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996 to $34.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, reflecting an
increase in the balance of the Company's loans from $459.3 million to $788.0
million at June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
 
  Interest Expense. The Company's interest expense was approximately $34.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared with approximately
$12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of 188.6%.
The increase in interest expense resulted from an increase in interest-bearing
liabilities from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997 of $612.5 million, including
the issuance in the fourth quarter of 1996 and early 1997 of $84.2 million of
its 13% notes due in 2004, and an increase in the cost of funds from 5.76% at
June 30, 1996 to 7.44% at June 30, 1997.
 
PROVISION FOR ESTIMATED LOSSES ON LOANS
 
  Provision for estimated losses on loans for the first six months of 1997 was
a net recovery of $1.4 million from the reversal of $2.5 million of excess
reserves on loans previously sold, which was partially offset by an additional
provision of approximately $1.1 million. This compares with a provision for
estimated losses on loans of $10.9 million for the first six months of 1996
from reserves established primarily for certain sub-prime auto loans and
inherited loans from the acquisition of the Savings Banks.

OTHER INCOME
 
  The Company's other income was approximately $18.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared with approximately $5.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of 261.3%. The components of the
Company's non-interest income are reflected in the following table:

</TABLE>
 
  The increase in other income is primarily attributable to the sale of loans,
which resulted in a gain of approximately $11.2 million, an increase in income
from real estate owned, net, resulting from the ongoing disposition of assets
from a $72.3 million pool of properties acquired in the fourth quarter of 1996
and an increase in servicing fees collected from others. This increase was
partially offset by a decrease of approximately $1.6 million from unrealized
gains on trading securities.
 
  The gain on sale of loans is the result of the sale of approximately $175
million of loans as to which the Company retained the servicing rights and
other participation interests in the portfolio. At the sale date, the Company
allocated $3.5 million and $1.8 million of original cost to retained servicing
rights and other participation interests retained in the loans, respectively,
and such amounts are included in other assets.
 
OTHER EXPENSE
 
  The Company's other expenses totaled approximately $19.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared with approximately $5.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of 266.3%.
 
  Compensation and Employee Benefits. The largest component of other expenses
was compensation and employee benefits which increased approximately 332.4%
from approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to
approximately $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in the average number of full-time
equivalent employees from 50 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to 166 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, reflecting the expansion of business
activities, particularly loan acquisition activities and the growth of
activities at the non-bank subsidiaries.
 
  Loan Service Fees and Expenses Paid to Affiliate. Loan service fees and
expenses are paid to WCC and include (a) servicing fees and (b) collection-
related expenses incurred directly by WCC and reimbursed by the Company. Loan
service fees and expenses paid to affiliate were approximately $8.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to approximately $2.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of approximately 276.8%.
The increase in loan servicing fees and expenses paid to affiliate was
primarily the result of the increase in the unpaid principal balance of loans
being serviced by WCC on behalf of the Company to approximately $1.3 billion
at June 30, 1997 from approximately $408 million at June 30, 1996 and an
increase in subservicing fees of approximately $1.4 million. Also, collection-
related expenses increased from the six months ended June 30, 1996 to the
comparable period in 1997 due to the substantial increase in Discounted
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
Loans, most of which were acquired at the end of 1996 and the first six months
of 1997. Discounted Loan portfolios generally require higher expenditures
during the first two quarters after acquisition.
 
  Other general and administrative expenses increased from approximately $0.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to approximately $3.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 due primarily to the expansion of
business activities at the non-bank subsidiaries, particularly loan acquisition
activities such as due diligence.
 
INCOME TAX PROVISION (BENEFIT)
 
  Income tax provision amounted to an expense of approximately $3.7 million
during the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared with a benefit of
approximately $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 1996. The
change was primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss deductions in
1996 and a normalized tax provision in 1997.
 
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
  Mortgage-Backed and Other Securities. The Company's mortgage-backed and other
securities increased approximately $104.7 million during the six months ended
June 30, 1997, primarily as a result of purchasing certain subordinated
securities.
 
  Loans Receivable, Net. The Company's total loan portfolio, net of discounts
and allowances, increased by approximately $376.4 million during the six months
ended June 30, 1997, primarily as a result of the Company's business strategy
of aggressively acquiring loan portfolios of discounted loans and other
mortgage loans, which totaled $663.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997.
 
  Real Estate Owned, Net. Real estate owned, net consists of properties
acquired by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof on loans in the Company's total
loan portfolio or purchased directly. Real estate owned increased by
approximately $57.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 1997 primarily
as a result of the foreclosure of certain discounted loans acquired in the
fourth quarter of 1996 and the first six months of 1997. The Company actively
manages its real estate owned.
 
  Due from Affiliate, net. Due from affiliate, net of $7.5 million at June 30,
1997 was primarily attributable to payments received in the normal course of
servicing operations by WCC, which had not been remitted to the Company.
 
  Deposits. Deposits decreased by approximately $56.3 million or 11.2% during
the six months ended June 30, 1997. Pursuant to the Cease and Desist Orders
imposed upon First Bank and Girard, effective October 31, 1996, First Bank and
Girard are prohibited from increasing their total assets, as measured at the
end of each calendar quarter above $145 million and $408 million, respectively,
unless such increase is an amount that represents the total net interest
credited on deposit liabilities earned during that quarter plus any increase
permitted by the Cease and Desist Orders in prior quarters. The Savings Banks
have complied with these requirements.
 
  Notes Payable. In the fourth quarter of 1996 and early 1997, the Company
issued $84.2 million of 13% notes due in 2004.
 
  Short-Term Borrowings. Short-term borrowings increased by approximately
$485.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 1997, resulting from
increased use of repurchase agreements and warehouse financing to fund the
purchases of loans and securities, instead of deposits.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  Sources of liquidity include wholesale and brokered certificates of deposit
and certain credit facilities. As of June 30, 1997, the Savings Banks had
approximately $437.0 million of certificates of deposit. As of June 30,
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
 
1997, scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit during the twelve months
ending June 30, 1998 and thereafter amounted to approximately $415.4 million
and approximately $21.6 million, respectively. Brokered and other wholesale
deposits generally are more responsive to changes in interest rates than core
deposits and, thus, are more likely to be withdrawn by the investor upon
maturity as changes in interest rates and other factors are perceived by
investors to make other investments more attractive. However, management of
the Savings Banks believe that it can adjust the rates paid on certificates of
deposit to retain deposits in changing interest rate environments and that
brokered and other wholesale deposits can be both a relatively cost-effective
and stable source of funds.
 
  As of June 30, 1997, the Company's sources of borrowing included (i) Master
Repurchase Agreements with Bear Stearns Mortgage Capital Corporation as to
which the parties have orally agreed that approximately $210 million in
aggregate would be available for the purchase of loans, (ii) a $100 million
warehouse lending agreement with Prudential Securities Credit Corporation, and
(iii) certain repurchase arrangements including $350 million under a
repurchase agreement with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC.
Sources of borrowings also include FHLB advances, which are required to be
secured by single-family and/or multi-family residential loans or other
acceptable collateral, and reverse repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 1997,
the Savings Banks had no FHLB advances outstanding, and were eligible to
borrow up to an aggregate of $9.6 million from the FHLB of San Francisco and
had approximately $12.8 million of multi-family residential loans and
$2.6 million of commercial loans which were available as security for such
advances. At the same date, the Savings Banks had a contractual relationship
with the FHLB of San Francisco pursuant to which it could obtain funds from
reverse repurchase agreements and had $5.5 million of unencumbered investment
securities and mortgage-backed and related securities which could be used to
secure such borrowings.
 
  The Company's uses of cash include the funding of loan purchases and
origination, payment of interest expenses, repayment of loans, operating and
administrative expenses, income taxes and capital expenditures. The Company
draws on a number of sources to obtain such funds including certificates of
deposit and repurchase arrangements with Wall Street investment banks. The
Company's purchases of loans are expected to utilize secured borrowings and be
highly leveraged. The actual dollar amount of secured borrowings incurred by
the Company will vary depending on a number of factors, including the
breakdown between performing and non-performing loans acquired by the Company,
the amount of leverage lenders are willing to make available at the time a
loan portfolio is acquired (which will be effected by market conditions), and
management's determination as to the appropriate amount of leverage at the
time a portfolio is acquired. With respect to loan portfolios of discounted
loans and performing loans, the Company generally seeks to fund 90% and 95%,
respectively, of the market value of such loan portfolios with borrowed money.
Management expects to repay any secured indebtedness incurred in connection
with loan acquisitions from the proceeds of the loan portfolios acquired.
Capital expenditures were immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
In addition to commitments to extend credit, the Company is party to various
off-balance sheet financial instruments in the normal course of business to
manage its interest rate risk.
 
  Adequate credit facilities and other sources of funding, including the
ability of the Company to securitize loans, are essential to the continuation
of the Company's ability to purchase and originate loans, and acquire
subordinate securities.
 
  After utilizing available working capital and any securitization proceeds,
the Company borrows money to fund its loan purchases and originations. The
Company's business plan generally calls for using a high degree of leverage in
acquiring loan portfolios.
 
  The Company believes that cash flow from operations, the proceeds of
certificates of deposit, the availability under the warehouse financing
facility and other borrowings, and the net proceeds from securitizations will
be sufficient to fund operating needs, commitments and capital expenditures.
 
  The Company is required to maintain one year of interest on the notes due in
2004 in liquid assets. In addition, the Savings Banks are required under
applicable federal regulations to maintain specified levels of
 
                                      12
<PAGE>
 
"liquid" investments in qualifying types of U.S. Government, federal agency
and other investments having maturities of five years or less. Current OTS
regulations require that a savings association maintain liquid assets of not
less than 5% of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts
and borrowings payable in one year or less, of which short-term liquid assets
must consist of not less than 1%. Monetary penalties may be imposed for
failure to meet applicable liquidity requirements. The Company and the Savings
Banks have complied with these requirements.
