                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1)       GENERAL

         The unaudited financial information furnished herein, in the opinion of
management, reflects all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring
nature) which are necessary to fairly state the Company's financial position,
its cash flows and the results of its operations. The Company presumes that
users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to
the audited financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the preceding fiscal year and
that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation,
except in regard to material contingencies, may be determined in that context.
Accordingly, footnote and other disclosures which would substantially duplicate
the disclosure contained in the Company's most recent annual report have been
omitted. The interim financial information herein is not necessarily
representative of operations for a full year for various reasons including
changes in interest rates, volume of loans originated and loans paid off.

2)       ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         On January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" (SFAS 125). This statement provides
guidance for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from
transfers that are secured borrowings. SFAS 125 supersedes SFAS 76, 77 and 122,
while amending both SFAS 65 and 115. The statement is to be applied
prospectively and earlier implementation was not permitted. The adoption of SFAS
125 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations.

         A transfer of financial assets in which control is surrendered is
accounted for as a sale to the extent that consideration other than beneficial
interests in the transferred assets is received in the exchange. Liabilities and
derivatives incurred or obtained by the transfer of financial assets are
required to be measured at fair value, if practicable. Also, servicing assets
and other retained interests in the transferred assets must be measured by
allocating the previous carrying value between the asset sold and the interest
retained, if any, based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer.
For each servicing contract in existence before January 1, 1997, previously
recognized servicing rights and excess servicing receivables that do not exceed
contractually specified servicing fees are required to be combined, net of any
previously recognized servings obligations under that contract, as a servicing
asset or liability. Previously recognized servicing receivables that exceed
contractually specified servicing fees are required to be reclassified as
interest-only strip receivables and the allowance for credit losses on loans
sold will be reclassified as a reduction of these receivables.

         SFAS 125 also requires an assessment of interest-only strips, loans,
other receivables and retained interests in securitizations. If these assets can
be contractually prepaid or otherwise settled such that the holder would not
recover substantially all of its recorded investment, the assets will be
measured like available-for-sale securities or trading securities under SFAS
115. This assessment is required for financial assets held on or acquired after
January 1, 1997.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


3)       REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Gain on sale of loans represents the difference between the proceeds
(including premiums) from the sale, net of related transaction costs, and the
allocated carrying amount of the loans sold. The allocated carrying amount is
determined by allocating the original amount of loan between the portion sold
and any retained interests (interest-only strip receivable), based on their
relative fair values at the date of transfer. In addition, gain on sale includes
non-refundable fees on loans sold and gains or losses on certain transactions
structured as an economic hedge.

         Gain on sale of loans include the recognition of an unrealized gain
which represents the initial difference between the allocated carrying amount
and the fair market value of the interest-only strip at the date of sale.

         The fair value of the interest-only strip receivable is determined by
computing the present value of the difference between the interest income to be
received by the Company over the interest rate to be received by the investor
after giving effect to prepayment assumptions, allowance for potential credit
losses and other transaction costs on loans sold. The interest-only strip
receivable, which is classified as a trading security, is carried at fair market
value and is analyzed quarterly by the Company. Adjustments to the fair market
value will be recognized as unrealized gains or losses and included as part of
gain on sale of loans. Prepayment rates for newer pools of loans sold are not
yet sufficient to provide meaningful data regarding future loan performance. No
market valuation adjustment has been made for the periods ended December 31,
1996, March 31, 1997 or June 30, 1997.

4)       RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain reclassification of balances from prior years have been made to
conform to the current year's reporting format.


5)       LOANS RECEIVABLE

         The following is a summary of Loans Receivable:

</TABLE>

6)       MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE

         Mortgage loans held for sale are stated at the lower of aggregated cost
or market with market being equal to the committed loan sales price. Unrealized
gains and losses on forward contracts are deferred to the extent they act as a
hedge used to control interest rate exposure. Such gains and losses are
recognized upon delivery of the underlying mortgage loan and are included in
gains and losses from the sale of the loans.

7)       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On July 10, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
stock split-up in the form of a one-for-one stock dividend to all stock holders
of record as of July 31, 1997. The stock dividend will be paid on or about
August 13, 1997. These financial statements do not reflect the effect of the
stock dividend.

8)       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         The Company from time to time purchases and sells government securities
at agreed upon prices as an economic hedge. These transactions reported net of
gain on sale of loans amounted to a loss of $.4 million for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997. 

9)       ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

         In March 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). This pronouncement provides
a different method of calculating earnings per share than is currently used in
accordance with APB 15, "Earnings per Share". SFAS 128 provides for the
calculation of Basic and Diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share
includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities
that could share in the earnings of an entity, similar to fully diluted earnings
per share. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods
ending after December 15, 1997; early adoption is not permitted. The Company has
not determined the effect, if any, of adoption on its earnings per share
computation(s).

         In March 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" (SFAS
129). SFAS 129 lists required disclosures about capital structures that had been
included in a number of previously existing separate statements and opinions.
This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have
a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


         In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). This statement
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. This statement requires that all items
that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements. This statement does not
require a specific format for that financial statement but requires that an
enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the
period in that financial statement.

         SFAS 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position.

         SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for
comparative purposes is required. The Company has not determined the effect, if
any, of adoption on the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" (SFAS 131). This statement establishes standards for the way that
public business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.
It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas, and major customers. This statement supersedes FASB
Statement No. 14 "Financial Reporting for a Business Enterprise", but retains
the requirement to report information about major customers. It amends FASB
Statement No, 94 "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries" to remove
the special disclosure requirements for previously unconsolidated subsidiaries.
This statement does not apply to nonpublic business enterprises or to
not-for-profit organizations.

         SFAS 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative
information for earlier years is to be restated. This statement need not be
applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of application, but
comparative information for interim periods in the initial year of application
is to be reported in financial statements for interim periods in the second year
of application. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.

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

BACKGROUND

         On June 27, 1996, PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc. (the "Company") and
Presidential Mortgage Company, a California limited partnership (the
"Partnership") completed a restructuring plan dated May 1, 1996 (the
"Restructuring"), whereby all of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership
were transferred to the Company in exchange for common stock of the Company (the
"Common Stock"). Pursuant to the Restructuring Plan, 603,234 shares of Common
Stock were issued to partners of the Partnership (other than limited partners
electing a "cash out option") for their interests in the Partnership and
$2,855,600 was paid by the Company to partners electing a "cash out option."
Concurrently with the solicitation of consent pursuant to the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus dated May 14, 1996, the Company made a rights offering (the
"Rights Offering"), pursuant to which a total of 324,628 shares were subscribed
for and issued. Pursuant to a Prospectus dated June 24, 1996, the Company also
conducted a public offering of additional shares of Common Stock at $10 per
share (the "Public Offering"). A total of 878,210 shares were issued in the
Public Offering, including 114,549 shares in connection with the exercise of an
over-allotment option by the underwriter of the Public Offering. The shares of
Common Stock are listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the
symbol "PAMM."

         The Restructuring has been accounted for as a change in legal
organization but not in the enterprise formerly engaged in by the Partnership.
Therefore, the financial statements of the Company give effect to the
Restructuring as a recapitalization of the Partnership into the Company.
References to the Company in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations refer to the financial condition
and results of operations of the Partnership on a consolidated basis for all
periods prior to June 27, 1996.

         The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the
related notes thereto of the Company filed with its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1996.

         On July 10, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
stock split-up in the form of a one-for-one stock dividend to all stockholders
of record as of July 31, 1997. The stock dividend will be paid on or about
August 13, 1997. These financial statements do not reflect the effect of the
stock dividend.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Total consolidated assets of the Company increased $21.2 million
(18.5%) to $136.1 million at June 30, 1997 from $114.9 million at December 31,
1996. The increase resulted primarily from increases in loans held for sale and
interest-only strip receivable, partially offset by decreases in receivable for
mortgage loans shipped, loans receivable and real estate acquired in settlement
of loans. Interest-only strip receivable increased $20.4 million, or 174.4%, to
$32.1 million at June 30, 1997 from $11.7 million at December 31, 1996,
reflecting the Company's retained interest in excess spread on loans sold for
securitization under the current terms of its loan sales agreements with Aames
Capital Corporation ("Aames") and Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA ("Advanta"). The
Company did not begin retaining an interest in excess spread on loans sold until
the fourth quarter of 1996, and the increase in interest-strip receivable
represents the buildup of this asset from all loans sold to Aames and Advanta
since the respective dates of the current agreements entered with these
purchasers. Loans held for sale increased $30.2 million, or 166.9%, to $48.3
million at June 30, 1997 from $18.1 million at December 31, 1996, representing
the buildup of the Company's inventory of loans held for sale. The only loans
included in the inventory of loans held for sale are loans anticipated to be
sold in subsequent securitizations. The Company plans to increase the inventory
of loans held for sale at the end of each quarter as part of its business
strategy for sustained earnings growth. The receivable for mortgage loans sold
decreased $24.3 million, or 100%, to 0 at June 30, 1997 from $24.3 million at
December 31, 1996, reflecting that all amounts payable for loans sold as of June
30, 1997 had been paid. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans decreased
$1.5 million, or 34.9% to $2.8 million at June 30, 1997 from $4.3 million at
December 31, 1996.

         Total liabilities increased $13.8 million, or 14.8%, to $106.8 million
at June 30, 1997 from $93.0 million at December 31, 1996, due to increases in
thrift certificates outstanding, accounts payable and accrued expenses,
partially offset by a decrease in notes payable. Thrift certificates increased
$6.1 million, or 7.5%, to $87.1 million at June 30, 1997 from $81.0 million at
December 31, 1996. Management of Pacific Thrift and Loan Company ("Pacific
Thrift"), the Company's primary operating subsidiary, adjusts rates on thrift
certificates on a regular basis in order to control the increase or decrease in
the total outstanding certificates, as management deems necessary to support
Pacific Thrift's cash flow requirements. Accounts payable and accrued expenses
increased $9.2 million, or 418.2%, to $11.4 million at June 30, 1997 from $2.2
million at December 31, 1996, 

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

reflecting an increase of $5.1 million in income taxes payable based on the
first six months pre-tax income, $1.2 million in bonuses and the balance of $2.9
million from other general accruals. Notes payable decreased $.8 million, or
24.2%, to $2.5 million at June 30, 1997 from $3.3 million at December 31, 1996,
reflecting the final payoff of a bank loan to Fleet Bank, N.A. in January 1997.

         Total stockholders' equity increased by $7.4 million, or 33.6%, to
$29.4 million at June 30, 1997 from $22.0 million at December 31, 1996,
reflecting primarily the net income from operations of $7.0 million in the first
six months of 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         The Company reported net income of $4.0 million, or $1.70 for primary
and fully diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and
$7.0 million or $2.99 and $2.98 for primary and fully diluted earnings per
share, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1997. These results are
not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the
full year.

         For the comparable period of 1996, the Company reported net income of
$11 thousand or $.01 primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 and $290 thousand or $.16 primary and fully diluted
earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in net
income was primarily due to the $12.2 million increase in gain on sale of loans
in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and $20.9 million increase in the six months
ended June 30, 1997 compared to the June 30, 1996 periods, reflecting a
substantial increase in the Company's loan production over the past twelve
months, as well as the improved margins on sale of loans under the Company's
current agreements with Aames and Advanta, which has applied to all loan sales
by the Company since the fourth quarter of 1996. Loans originated for sale
increased $121.3 million, or 149.2%, to $202.6 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997, from $81.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, and
increased $203.1 million, or 142.6%, to $345.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, from $142.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Gain
on sale of loans increased by $12.2 million, or 200%, to $18.3 million for the
second quarter of 1997, from $6.1 million for the second quarter of 1996 and
increased $20.9 million, or 193.5%, to $31.7 million for the six months ended 
June 30, 1997 from $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

INTEREST INCOME

         Total interest income increased $.3 million, or 12%, to $2.8 million
for the second quarter of 1997 from $2.5 million for the second quarter of 1996
and increased $.6 million, or 12.2%, to $5.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 from $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, due to
the increase in loans originated for sale. Total interest expense decreased $.1
million, or 8.3%, to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 1997 from $1.2
million for the second quarter of 1996 and decreased $.2 million, or 8.3%, to
$2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $2.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996, due primarily to a decrease in interest paid on
the Company's bank loan, which was paid off in January 1997. Net interest income
before provision for loan losses increased $.4 million, or 30.8%, for the second
quarter, to $1.7 million for the second quarter of 1997 from $1.3 million for
the second quarter of 1996 and increased $.8 million, or 32.0%, to $3.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, from $2.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses increased $1.2 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 to $.7 million for the second quarter of 1997, from $(.5)
million from the second quarter of 1996 and increased $.7 million or 233.3% to
$1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, due primarily to an increase in specific reserves in
1997 combined with a decrease in the general reserve which occurred in the
second quarter of 1996, after the restructuring.

         The total allowance for loan losses was $1.9 million at June 30, 1997,
compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 1996. The adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses is based on a variety of factors, including the size of the
Company's loan portfolio, which does not include loans held for sale, loan
classifications and underlying loan collateral values, and is not directly
proportional to the level of nonperforming portfolio loans. The ratio of
nonaccrual portfolio loans past due 90 days or more ($2.0 million) to total
portfolio loans ($32.3 million) was 6.2% at June 30, 1997, compared to a ratio
of 3.8% of nonaccrual loans past due 90 days or more ($1.4 million) to total
portfolio loans ($36.6 million) at December 31, 1996. The increase in the ratio
was caused by a decreasing loan portfolio due to the Company's focus on
originating loans for sale, not for portfolio.

NONINTEREST INCOME

         Total noninterest income increased $12.1 million, or 195.2%, to $18.3
million for the second quarter 1997 from $6.2 million for the second quarter
1996 and increased $20.7 million, or 188.2%, to $31.7 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 from $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The
primary source of noninterest income is gain on sale of loans originated for
sale, which increased $12.2 million, or 200%, to $18.3 million for the second
quarter 1997 from $6.1 million for the second quarter 1996 and increased $20.9
million, or 193.5%, to $31.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from
$10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

        Noninterest expense increased by $5.0 million, or 68.5%, to $12.3
million for the second quarter 1997 from $7.3 million for the second quarter
1996, and increased $9.7 million, or 79.5%, to $21.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 from $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
due primarily to increases in salaries, employee benefits and personnel services
and general and administrative expenses. Salaries, employee benefits and
personnel services increased $3.3 million, or 100%, to $6.6 million for the
second quarter 1997 from $3.3 million for the second quarter 1996 and increased
$6.3 million, or 114.5%, to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997
from $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, representing increases
in loan representative commissions and the hiring of additional support
personnel related to increased loan volume. General and administrative expenses
increased $2.6 million, or 89.7%, to $5.5 million for the second quarter 1997
from $2.9 million for the second quarter 1996, and increased $4.7 million, or
97.9%, to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $4.8 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, also related to increased loan volume.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The primary sources of the Company's liquidity are cash and cash
equivalents maintained by Pacific Thrift in connection with its deposit-taking
and lending activities and proceeds from sale of loans. At June 30 , 1997, cash
and cash equivalent assets totaled $8.7 million compared to $8.6 million at
December 31, 1996. Under the terms of the Company's agreement with Advanta, the
Company also receives an advance on its excess spread interest in each
securitization pool. The Company received advances of $11.9 million from Advanta
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. These advances are repaid from all
future payments of excess spread due from Advanta to the Company, and bear
interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.00% (resulting in an effective rate of
6.72% at June 30, 1997).

         Management of Pacific Thrift is able to regulate the inflow of funds
from thrift certificates by adjusting interest rates to amounts slightly above
or below prevailing rates. In the second quarter of 1997, Pacific Thrift
adjusted its rates slightly upward to increase the inflow of funds from thrift
certificates, thereby resulting in a $6.1 million increase in outstanding thrift
certificates to $87.1 million at June 30, 1997 from $81.0 million at December
31, 1996.

         Pacific Thrift is subject to certain leverage and risk-based capital
adequacy standards applicable to FDIC-insured institutions. At June 30, 1997,
Pacific Thrift met the FDIC regulatory definition of "adequately capitalized."
See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1996, Item 1. "Business - Supervision and Regulation -- Regulatory Actions."

         As indicated in the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company used $21.1
million in cash from operating activities, primarily for the origination of
loans held for sale, from January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997. The Company
realized $15.5 million from investing activities, primarily from the proceeds
from the sale of real estate loans, and realized $5.7 million from financing
activities, primarily from the increase in thrift certificates, from January 1,
1997 through June 30, 1997.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         CRC and LPPC, along with all other defendants in the action brought by
Consumer Action and two consumers alleging excessive trustee publication fees,
have entered into a global settlement with the plaintiffs in this action, and
the action was dismissed on July 28, 1997. The settlement amount paid by CRC
under the terms of the settlement agreement was immaterial to the Company as a
whole.

         With respect to the class action filed against CRC (as one of over 50
defendants) alleging overpayments for trustee sale guarantee fees, the
California Court of Appeal has stayed the action pending the negotiation of a
global settlement agreement. Management believes, based upon consultation with
its counsel in this action, that any liability that may be incurred by CRC in
this action would be immaterial to the Company as a whole.

Company and its subsidiaries, and the ratification of BDO Seidman, LLP, as the
Company's independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31,
