PACIFIC CREST CAPTIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2002
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

        The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Pacific Crest Capital, Inc., without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Crest Capital, Inc. ("Pacific Crest" or the "Parent") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pacific Crest Bank (the "Bank") and PCC Capital I ("PCC Capital"), which together are referred to as the "Company". All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current period presentation.

        In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been included, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. The results of operations for this current interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent period or for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Note 2. Computation of Tangible Book Value Per Common Share

        Tangible book value per common share was calculated by dividing total shareholders' equity by the number of common shares issued less common shares held in treasury. The tables below present the computation of tangible book value per common share as of the dates indicated (in thousands, except share data):

Tangible book value per common share   $ 16.94   $ 15.69  
   
 
 

Note 3. Computation of Earnings Per Common Share

        Basic and diluted earnings per common share were determined by dividing net income by the applicable basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. For the diluted earnings per share computation, the basic weighted average common shares outstanding were increased to include

Note 9. Federal Income Tax Refund

        In April of 2002, the Company received a payment from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in connection with a refund claim filed by the Company for a prior year's income taxes. The total amount of the payment was $1,218,000, which was comprised of $804,000 for income taxes and $414,000 for interest. The $804,000 was applied as a reduction of "Deferred income taxes, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the $414,000 was applied to a receivable included in "Prepaid expenses and other assets". The Company had accrued as "Other income" $300,000 of the interest during the fourth quarter of 2001 and accrued the remaining $114,000 during the first quarter of 2002.

Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In July of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations ("SFAS 141"), and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations, although certain combinations initiated prior to July 1, 2001 are exempt from the provisions of SFAS 141. In addition, SFAS 141 further clarifies the criteria for recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. This statement is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires that upon adoption, amortization of goodwill will cease and the carrying value of goodwill shall be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. Identifiable intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had no goodwill recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In June of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 was effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In April of 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt ("SFAS 4"), and an amendment of that SFAS, SFAS No. 64, Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. SFAS 145 also rescinds SFAS No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. Further, SFAS 145 amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases ("SFAS 13"), to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or described their applicability under changed conditions. This pronouncement requires gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be classified as an extraordinary item only if the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and

9



Transactions, have been met. Further, lease modifications with economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions must be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to the rescission of SFAS 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to SFAS 13 shall be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 145 did not have and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

        In July of 2002, the Company borrowed $30 million from the FHLB, consisting of $20 million at 2.29%, maturing in January of 2004, and $10 million at 2.68%, maturing in July of 2004. In August of 2002, the Company borrowed $20 million from the FHLB at 3.03%, maturing in August of 2005. The Company obtained this total of $50 million in long-term advances in order to take advantage of favorable long-term borrowing rates. These advances replaced the Company's $42.5 million in short-term, overnight advances outstanding at June 30, 2002. Adding these long-term advances in July and August of 2002, together with the $40 million of long-term advances obtained in November of 2001, resulted in current total long-term FHLB advances of $90 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.88%.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The following is management's discussion and analysis of the major factors that influenced the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the period ended June 30, 2002. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and with the unaudited financial statements and notes as set forth in this report.


OVERVIEW

Forward-Looking Information

        Certain matters discussed under this caption may constitute forward-looking statements under Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. There can be no assurance that the results described or implied in such forward-looking statements will, in fact, be achieved and actual results, performance, and achievements could differ materially because the business of the Company involves inherent risks and uncertainties. These risks include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions nationally and in California, unanticipated credit losses in the Company's loan portfolio, rapid changes in interest rates, and other risks discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Capital

        As of June 30, 2002, Pacific Crest's leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.97%, 11.90%, and 13.94%, respectively. The Bank's leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.82%, 11.69%, and 12.94%, respectively. These ratios placed Pacific Crest and the Bank in the "well-capitalized" category as defined by federal regulations, which require corresponding capital ratios of 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively, to qualify for that designation.

Dividends

        On July 26, 2002, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share for the third quarter of 2002. The dividend will be paid on September 13, 2002 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2002.

        On May 13, 2002, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per common share for the second quarter of 2002. The dividend was paid on June 14, 2002 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 31, 2002. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.08 per common share. The total amount of cash dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $389,000.

Stock Repurchase Plan

        During the six months ended June 30, 2002, pursuant to its common stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 18,800 shares of its common stock at an average cost per share of $24.94. The total amount paid for these shares was approximately $469,000. During the same period, the Company utilized repurchased shares for all of its common stock issuances under the Company's employee stock purchase plan, non-employee directors stock purchase plan, and employee stock option plan, which totaled 34,417 shares. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had 15,700 shares remaining authorized for repurchase under its common stock repurchase program.

Sale of Interest Rate Cap Agreement

        On February 8, 2000, the Company sold its interest rate cap agreement and recognized a deferred gain of $1.8 million, which was reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption, "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities". The deferred gain is being amortized as a credit to "Interest expense—deposits" over the remaining life of the original interest rate cap agreement, which had a maturity date of June 8, 2003. During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the amount of deferred gain amortization totaled $275,000, which resulted in a reduction in interest expense on deposits. As of June 30, 2002, the remaining, unamortized deferred gain totaled $519,000 and will be amortized as follows: $279,000 for the last six months of 2002 and $240,000 for the first six months of 2003.

FHLB Credit Line Expansion

        In July of 2002, the FHLB approved an increase in Pacific Crest Bank's available credit line from 20% of total assets to 35% of total assets. As a result, the Bank's credit line increased by $81.5 million, to $190.2 million. All FHLB advances must be secured by eligible loans and/or eligible securities. The FHLB credit facility serves as an excellent source of low cost funding and is a critical component of the Company's strategy to reduce funding costs. The Company is focusing on using the FHLB credit facility primarily for fixed rate advances with 12-36 month terms as part of its hedging strategy to insulate the Company from potentially higher interest rates in 2003 and 2004.

        In July of 2002, the Company borrowed $30 million from the FHLB, consisting of $20 million at 2.29%, maturing in January of 2004, and $10 million at 2.68%, maturing in July of 2004. In August of 2002, the Company borrowed $20 million from the FHLB at 3.03%, maturing in August of 2005. The Company obtained this total of $50 million in long-term advances in order to take advantage of favorable long-term borrowing rates. These advances replaced the Company's $42.5 million in short-term, overnight advances outstanding at June 30, 2002. Adding these long-term advances in July and August of 2002, together with the $40 million of long-term advances obtained in November of 2001, resulted in current total long-term FHLB advances of $90 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.88%.

Corporate Governance

        The following are some of the key corporate governance practices at the Company, which are oriented to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest and that the Company is operated in the best interest of shareholders:

        Additionally, one of the Company's directors, Rudolph I. Estrada, is a member of the National Association of Corporate Directors and Chairman of the Company's Corporate Governance/Nominations Committee.

12



Declining Interest Rate Environment

        During the first six months of 2002, the Federal Reserve left the federal funds rate unchanged at 1.75%. However, during 2001, the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate by a total of 475 basis points, to 1.75%. The impact of this cumulative reduction led to a lower interest rate environment in 2001, which continued into the first six months of 2002, and resulted in (i) issuer calls of $219.2 million and Company sales of $10.0 million of the Company's fixed rate, U.S. government sponsored agency callable bonds (the "callable bonds"), (ii) downward repricing of the Company's adjustable rate loans, and (iii) the Company's lowering of interest rates on all of its deposit products. Additionally, the interest rates declined on the Company's adjustable rate investments and borrowings.

Net Interest Income—Three Months Analysis

        On an overall basis, net interest income grew by $1.2 million, to $5.7 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decline in interest expense, which was attributable to the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposits and related deposit run-off. The decreases in interest rates on the Company's deposits resulted from a lower interest rate environment due to the reduction of 475 basis points, to 1.75%, in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve in 2001. Partially offsetting the decline in interest expense was a drop in interest income, which was principally due to the calls and sales of the Company's callable bonds in 2001.

23



        On a volume and rate analysis basis, the growth in net interest income was primarily due to a $734,000 increase attributable to changes in volume. This was principally due to an increase in interest income attributable to loan growth, and a decrease in interest expense resulting from deposit run-off. Partially offsetting these factors was a reduction in interest income resulting from the calls and sales of the Company's callable bonds.

        Contributing to the above $734,000 growth in net interest income attributable to changes in volume, was a $437,000 increase due to changes in interest rates. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense resulting from the Company's lowering of the interest rates on its deposits. This factor was partially offset by a decrease in interest income on loans, which resulted from the downward repricing of the Company's adjustable rate loans and the weighted average interest rate on loan payoffs exceeding the weighted average interest rate on loan originations. All of these factors resulted from a lower interest rate environment attributable to a cumulative 475 basis point reduction, to 1.75%, in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve during 2001.

        The impact of the federal funds rate decreases in 2001 caused downward repricing on the Company's adjustable rate loans, especially those tied to the prime rate. The federal funds rate is the rate at which banks lend to each other in the overnight market. Reductions in the federal funds rate generally result in reductions of the prime rates offered by major banks, including Bank of America. The Company's prime rate loans are priced at a margin above either Bank of America's prime lending rate or the published Wall Street Journal prime lending rate. As of June 30, 2002, 84.9% and 40.7% of the Company's loan portfolio consisted of adjustable rate loans and prime rate loans, respectively.

        The downward repricing of the Company's adjustable rate loans was partially offset by the impact of the interest rate floors that exist on most of the Company's adjustable rate loans. Interest rate floors protect the Company in a declining interest rate environment, as affected loans do not reprice downward to their fully indexed rate when interest rates fall. Another offsetting factor was that the Company's adjustable rate loans generally can reprice only up to a maximum of 200 basis points in a year, and thus did not reprice downward the full 475 basis points of the federal funds rate.

        The net interest rate spread grew by 105 basis points, to 3.94%, during the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to a decrease of 181 basis points, to 3.80%, in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of 76 basis points, to 7.74%, in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets. The decrease in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities was principally attributable to the previously mentioned lowering by the Company of the interest rates on its deposits, partially offset by a change in the composition of the Company's average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits. The decrease in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was primarily due to a decline in the yield on loans, partially offset by a change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities, which resulted principally from the calls and sales of the callable bonds.

        Total interest income decreased by $1.3 million, to $10.4 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to a decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets, which decreased interest income by $1.4 million.

        Average total interest-earning assets declined by $13.5 million, to $540.4 million, during the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was principally due to a reduction in average callable bonds of $80.4 million, partially offset by increases of $61.7 million and $8.9 million in average loans and average mortgage-backed securities, respectively. The changes in average investment securities and average loans resulted in a shift in the mix of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities. The percentage of average loans to average

24



total interest-earning assets increased to 85.5% during the three months ended June 30, 2002 from 72.2% during the same period in 2001.

        The reduction in average callable bonds of $80.4 million, to zero, was due to the liquidation of the Company's fixed rate callable bond portfolio during the first nine months of 2001. The liquidation occurred primarily through issuer calls of $219.2 million, as well as Company sales of $10.0 million. The issuer calls were attributable to the declining interest rate environment caused by the Federal Reserve's 350 basis point lowering of the federal funds rate during the first nine months of 2001.

        The increase in average mortgage-backed securities of $8.9 million, to $70.7 million, was primarily due to fixed rate purchases of $25.5 million, in March of 2002, partially offset by principal payments received on these securities. The purchases made in March of 2002 were funded with the proceeds from the redemption of lower yielding short-term securities purchased under resale agreements, which increased interest income in the second quarter of 2002.

        The yield earned on average total interest-earning assets decreased by 76 basis points, to 7.74%, during the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to the following decreases in yields attributable to the declining interest rate environment during 2001, which continued into the first six months of 2002:

        Partially offsetting the decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was the change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities.

        Total interest expense decreased by $2.5 million, to $4.7 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This was due to a decline in the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased interest expense by $1.9 million, as well as to a reduction in the balance of these liabilities, which reduced interest expense by $0.6 million.

        Average total interest-bearing liabilities declined by $16.5 million, to $500.0 million, during the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was primarily due to a decrease of $51.3 million in average deposits, partially offset by an increase of $34.8 million in average borrowings. The changes in average deposits and average borrowings resulted in a shift in the mix of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits. The percentage of average borrowings to average total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 21.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2002 from 13.9% during the same period in 2001.

        The decline in average deposits of $51.3 million, to $393.4 million, during the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001, was principally due to reductions of $47.5 million and

25



$5.9 million in average certificates of deposit and average savings accounts, respectively. These decreases were primarily attributable to the Company's lowering of interest rates on all of its deposit products in anticipation of and in response to the 475 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve during 2001.

        The changes in the average balances of the Company's deposit products resulted in a shift in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit. This reflected the Company's strategy and efforts to help reduce the overall cost of its deposits. The percentage of average checking and savings accounts to average deposits rose to 38.0% during the second quarter of 2002, from 34.5% during the second quarter of 2001.

        The growth in average borrowings of $34.8 million, to $106.7 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, was principally due to increases of $40.0 million and $18.3 million in average long-term and short-term FHLB advances, respectively. The Company obtained $40.0 million of long-term, fixed rate FHLB advances during the fourth quarter of 2001. The Company started using short-term, variable rate FHLB advances during the second quarter of 2002. The increase in FHLB advances was partially offset by decreases of $12.1 million and $2.5 million in short-term average State of California borrowings and average securities sold under repurchase agreements, respectively, as well as a decrease of $8.9 million in average term borrowings. Theshort-term borrowings matured at various times during 2001 and were paid off by the Company primarily using the proceeds from the calls and sales of the callable bonds. The average term borrowings declined due to $10.0 million which matured in April of 2002 and bore an interest rate of 6.65%. The Company paid off this borrowing using a lower rate, short-term FHLB advance.

        The rate on average total interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 181 basis points, to 3.80%, during the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was principally due to the reduction of 192 basis points, to 3.48%, in the rate on average deposits, as well as the reduction of 188 basis points, to 4.96%, in the rate on average borrowings. Partially offsetting these factors was a shift in the mix of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits.

        The 192 basis point decline in the rate on average deposits reflected the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposit products, which resulted in reductions of 157 basis points, 169 basis points, and 191 basis points in the rates on average checking accounts, average savings accounts, and average certificates of deposit, respectively. Contributing to the decrease in the rate on average deposits was a change in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit.

        The Company anticipates that the rate on its average certificates of deposit will decline in the last six months of 2002, from the 4.41% average rate for the second quarter of 2002, as older, higher rate certificates mature and are replaced by newer, lower rate certificates. The current tiered certificate of deposit rates offered by the Company as of March 6, 2002, the date of the Company's most recent rate changes, are one basis point to 218 basis points below the 4.41% average rate for the 2002 second quarter, and are listed as follows:

26


        The 188 basis point decrease in the rate on average borrowings was primarily due to the change in the composition of average borrowings resulting from (i) the payoffs and maturities during 2001 of short-term securities sold under repurchase agreements and State of California borrowings, bearing higher average rates of 4.43% and 4.39%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2001, (ii) the addition during the fourth quarter of 2001 of long-term, fixed rate FHLB advances, bearing a lower average rate of 3.16% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, and (iii) the addition during the second quarter of 2002 of short-term, variable rate FHLB advances, bearing a lower average rate of 1.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

Net Interest Income—Six Months Analysis

        On an overall basis, net interest income grew by $2.0 million, to $10.9 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decline in interest expense, which was attributable to the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposits and related deposit run-off. The decreases in interest rates on the Company's deposits resulted from a lower interest rate environment due to the reduction of 475 basis points, to 1.75%, in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve in 2001. Partially offsetting the decline in interest expense was a drop in interest income, which was principally due to the calls and sales of the Company's callable bonds in 2001.

29



        On a volume and rate analysis basis, the growth in net interest income was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase attributable to changes in volume. This was principally due to an increase in interest income attributable to growth in loans and mortgage-backed securities, and a decrease in interest expense resulting from deposit run-off. Partially offsetting these factors was a reduction in interest income resulting from the calls and sales of the Company's callable bonds.

        Contributing to the above $1.1 million growth in net interest income attributable to changes in volume, was a $905,000 increase due to interest rates. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense resulting from the Company's lowering of the interest rates on its deposits. This factor was partially offset by a decrease in interest income on loans, which resulted from the downward repricing of the Company's adjustable rate loans and the weighted average interest rate on loan payoffs exceeding the weighted average interest rate on loan originations. All of these factors resulted from a lower interest rate environment attributable to a cumulative 475 basis point reduction, to 1.75%, in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve during 2001.

        The net interest rate spread grew by 102 basis points, to 3.76%, during the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to a decrease of 183 basis points, to 3.97%, in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of 81 basis points, to 7.73%, in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets. The decrease in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities was principally attributable to the previously mentioned lowering by the Company of the interest rates on its deposits, as well as the change in the composition of the Company's average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits. The decrease in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was primarily due to a decline in the yield on loans, partially offset by a change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities, which resulted principally from the calls and sales of the callable bonds.

        Total interest income decreased by $3.7 million, to $20.8 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This was due to a decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets, which decreased interest income by $3.0 million, as well as to a reduction in the balance of these assets, which decreased interest income by $0.7 million.

        Average total interest-earning assets declined by $36.1 million, to $542.2 million, during first six months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was principally due to a reduction in average callable bonds of $123.7 million, partially offset by increases of $62.2 million and $19.6 million in average loans and average mortgage-backed securities, respectively. The changes in average investment securities and average loans resulted in a shift in the mix of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities. The percentage of average loans to average total interest-earning assets increased to 84.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 68.9% during the same period in 2001.

        The reduction in average callable bonds of $123.7 million, to zero, was due to the liquidation of the Company's fixed rate callable bond portfolio during the first nine months of 2001. The liquidation occurred primarily through issuer calls of $219.2 million, as well as Company sales of $10.0 million. The issuer calls were attributable to the declining interest rate environment caused by the Federal Reserve's 350 basis point lowering of the federal funds rate during the first nine months of 2001.

        The increase in average mortgage-backed securities of $19.6 million, to $63.0 million, was primarily due to fixed rate purchases of $25.5 million, in March of 2002, partially offset by principal payments received on these securities.

30



        The yield earned on average total interest-earning assets decreased by 81 basis points, to 7.73%, during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to the following decreases in yields attributable to the declining interest rate environment during 2001, which continued into the first six months of 2002:

        Partially offsetting the decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was the change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities.

        Total interest expense decreased by $5.7 million, to $9.9 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This was due to a decline in the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased interest expense by $3.9 million, as well as to a reduction in the balance of these liabilities, which reduced interest expense by $1.8 million.

        Average total interest-bearing liabilities declined by $38.8 million, to $502.0 million, during the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was primarily due to a decrease of $62.4 million in average deposits, partially offset by an increase of $23.6 million in average borrowings. The changes in average deposits and average borrowings resulted in a shift in the mix of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits. The percentage of average borrowings to average total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 20.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 14.5% during the same period in 2001.

        The decline in average deposits of $62.4 million, to $400.0 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, was principally due to reductions of $56.4 million and $7.8 million in average certificates of deposit and average savings accounts, respectively. These decreases were primarily attributable to the Company's lowering of interest rates on all of its deposit products in anticipation of and in response to the 475 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve during 2001.

        The changes in the average balances of the Company's deposit products resulted in a shift in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit. This reflected the Company's current strategy and efforts to help reduce the overall cost of its deposits. The percentage of average checking and savings accounts to average deposits rose to 37.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2002, from 33.7% during the same period in 2001.

        The growth in average borrowings of $23.6 million, to $102.0 million, during the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, was principally due to increases of $40.0 million and $9.2 million in average long-term and short-term FHLB advances, respectively. The Company obtained

31



$40.0 million of long-term, fixed rate FHLB advances during the fourth quarter of 2001. The Company started using short-term, variable rate advances during the second quarter of 2002. The increase in FHLB advances was partially offset by decreases of $14.9 million and $6.2 million in short-term average State of California borrowings and average securities sold under repurchase agreements, respectively, as well as a decrease of $4.5 million in average term borrowings. The short-term borrowings matured at various times during 2001 and were paid off by the Company primarily using the proceeds from the calls and sales of the callable bonds. The average term borrowings declined due to $10.0 million which matured in April of 2002 and bore an interest rate of 6.65%. The Company paid off this borrowing using a lower rate, short-term FHLB advance.

        The rate on average total interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 183 basis points, to 3.97%, during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was principally due to the reduction of 198 basis points, to 3.61%, in the rate on average deposits, as well as the reduction of 167 basis points, to 5.30%, in the rate on average borrowings. Partially offsetting these factors was the shift in the mix of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits.

        The 198 basis point decline in the rate on average deposits reflected the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposit products, which resulted in reductions of 164 basis points, 200 basis points, and 183 basis points in the rates on average checking accounts, average savings accounts, and average certificates of deposit, respectively. Contributing to the decrease in the rate on average deposits was the previously mentioned change in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit.

        The 167 basis point decrease in the rate on average borrowings was primarily due to the change in the composition of average borrowings resulting from (i) the payoffs and maturities during 2001 of short-term securities sold under repurchase agreements and State of California borrowings, bearing higher average rates of 5.93% and 5.54%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2001, (ii) the addition during the fourth quarter of 2001 of long-term FHLB advances, bearing a lower average rate of 3.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, and (iii) the addition during the second quarter of 2002 of short-term, variable rate FHLB advances, bearing a lower average rate of 1.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Provision for Loan Losses

        During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company increased its provision for loan losses by $110,000, to $150,000, compared to the same period in 2001. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company increased its provision for loan losses by $170,000, to $250,000, compared to the same period in 2001. The Company uses the provision for loan losses to establish the allowance for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. See "Financial Condition—Allowance for Loan Losses."

        Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 grew by $308,000, to $867,000, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to increases of $169,000, $73,000, and $47,000 in gain on sale of SBA 504 loans and broker fee income, loan prepayment and late fee income, and gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans, respectively. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company elected to sell $2.6 million of SBA 7(a) loans due to favorable conditions in the secondary market. Any future SBA 7(a) loan sales will continue to be based on the level of SBA 7(a) loan originations, the premiums available in the secondary market for the sale of such loans, and general liquidity considerations of the Company.

        Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 grew by $393,000, to $1.5 million, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to increases of $203,000, $147,000, and $146,000 in gain on sale of SBA 504 loans and broker fee income, loan prepayment and late fee income, and other income, respectively. The increase in other income was principally attributable to (i) $114,000 of interest income that the Company recorded in connection with a favorable IRS ruling that the Company received on an income tax refund claim, and (ii) $50,000 of dividend income that the Company recognized on its investment in FHLB stock. Partially offsetting these factors was a $114,000 decrease in the gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans, as the Company elected to sell no SBA 7(a) loans during the first quarter of 2002.

        Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 grew by $631,000, to $3.3 million, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to increases of $435,000 and $105,000 in salaries and employee benefits and net occupancy expenses, respectively.

        Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 grew by $1.1 million, to $6.4 million, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to increases of $1.0 million and $119,000 in salaries and employee benefits and net occupancy expenses, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of $67,000 in legal, audit, and other professional fees.

        The increase in salaries and employee benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, was primarily due to the following factors:

        The increase in net occupancy expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, was primarily due to a cost of approximately $110,000 related to a defalcation at one of the Company's branches.

        The reduction in legal, audit, and other professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was primarily due to the $175,000 reversal in the first quarter of 2002 of a portion of an accrual originally taken during the fourth quarter of 2001 for estimated expenses relating to (i) obtaining a favorable ruling on an IRS income tax refund claim, and (ii) settling a legal claim brought against the Bank.

        Total assets grew by $11.4 million, to $556.2 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to increases of $12.5 million and $6.1 million in investment securities and net loans, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $7.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.

        The $12.5 million increase in investment securities, to $71.5 million, was principally due to the $25.5 million purchases of higher yield mortgage-backed securities, using proceeds from the redemption of lower yield securities purchased under resale agreements. Partially offsetting this increase were principal payments on mortgage-backed securities totaling $13.4 million.

35



        The $6.1 million increase in net loans, to $460.1 million, was primarily due to $57.0 million of loan originations and $4.9 million of loan purchases, partially offset by $52.1million of principal payments and $3.4 million of SBA loan sales.

        The $7.9 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, to $10.8 million, was principally due to the previously mentioned $25.5 million redemption of securities purchased under resale agreements to fund purchases of mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities and proceeds received from FHLB advances.

        Total liabilities grew by $8.1 million, to $514.9 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to an increase of $42.5 million in short-term, variable rate FHLB advances, partially offset by reductions of $22.4 million and $10.0 million in certificates of deposit and term borrowings, respectively. The lower rate FHLB advances were principally used to (i) replace maturing higher rate certificates of deposit, (ii) payoff a $10.0 million term borrowing, which matured in April of 2002, bearing a higher interest rate of 6.65%, and (iii) fund loan growth.

        Shareholders' equity increased by $3.3 million, to $41.3 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2002. Changes in shareholders' equity were due to the following factors:

Allowance for Loan Losses

        The allowance for loan losses increased by $583,000, to $8.5 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2002, due to $250,000 in provision for loan losses and $333,000 in net recoveries. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.82% at June 30, 2002, as compared to 1.72% at December 31, 2001.

        The overall economic factors and conditions affecting the Company's allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2002, are consistent with the various factors that the Company has experienced over the last 12-18 months. While there had been a general decline in the economy during the third and fourth quarters of 2001, there appears to have been a slight improvement in the economy during the first and second quarters of 2002.

        The Company's management considered the following recent loan loss and credit experience in evaluating the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2002:

36


        In addition to recent loan loss and credit experience, management considers historical loan loss experience as well as changes within the loan portfolio in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Changes in the loan portfolio include (i) the growth in SBA lending, (ii) changes in geographic concentration, (iii) changes in the collateral mix of the loan portfolio, and (iv) the debt service ability of borrowers. In addition, management attempts to factor in the changes that relate to the economy in specific cities or locations. Most of these factors (geographic concentration, collateral concentration, debt service coverage of borrowers, and current vacancy rates) are favorable to the Company's current loan portfolio as compared to the loan portfolio of the 1991 - 1993 recessionary economic period. Management believes that the ability to predict the direction of the current U.S. economy is difficult given the continued risk of terrorism, the continued negative impact of declines in corporate earnings and the stock market, and the loss of consumer confidence. Management feels that the economy may only experience slow to modest growth during the remainder of 2002 and possibly into 2003. In considering all of the above factors, management believes that the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2002 is adequate.

        Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts, thereby adversely affecting future results of operations.

        During the second quarter of 2002, the Company changed its non-accrual loan policy to place loans on non-accrual status starting at 90 days past due, rather than at 61 days past due. However, the Company may place a loan on non-accrual status sooner if management determines that the collectibility of principal or interest is unlikely prior to the loan becoming 90 days past due. This change was made in order to be consistent with general banking industry practice.


LIQUIDITY

        The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, and payments of principal and interest on loans and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled principal amortization on loans are a reasonably predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. As a measure of protection against these uncertainties, the Company maintains borrowing relationships with several brokers, whereby the Company is able to borrow funds that are secured by pledging specific amounts of certain U.S. government sponsored agency securities. The Company is generally able to borrow up to 98% of the market value of these securities. As of June 30, 2002, the market values of U.S. government sponsored agency securities that were available for collateral purposes totaled $28.5 million.

        The Bank also has a fixed rate borrowing facility with the State of California Treasurer's Office under which the Bank can borrow an amount not to exceed its unconsolidated total shareholder's equity. Borrowing maturity dates under this program cannot exceed one year. The State of California requires collateral with a value of at least 110% of the outstanding borrowing amount. The Bank has pledged specific amounts of certain U.S. government sponsored agency securities to meet the collateral requirement under this borrowing facility. As of June 30, 2002, the Bank's unconsolidated total shareholder's equity was $53.7 million and the Bank had no outstanding borrowings from the State of California.

        During the second quarter of 2001, the Bank became a member of the FHLB, which serves as a source of both fixed rate and adjustable rate borrowings, with maturities ranging from one day to 30 years. Under the FHLB's borrowing program, the Bank is able to borrow an FHLB-approved percentage of the Bank's unconsolidated total assets. All FHLB advances must be secured by eligible collateral, subject to FHLB guidelines and limitations. Such collateral may consist of either commercial real estate loans, or U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, or a combination of both. For pledged commercial real estate loans, the FHLB will lend up to 55% on an individual loan basis and up to 20% of the Bank's unconsolidated total assets on an aggregate basis.

        As of June 30, 2002, the Bank's FHLB credit line totaled $108.7 million, based on 20% of its unconsolidated total assets of $543.5 million. The amount of the Bank's eligible, pledged collateral totaled $128.1 million, after deductions for the above FHLB limitations, and consisted of commercial real estate loans. Against this facility, the Bank had $82.5 million of outstanding advances, leaving

38



$26.2 million available for future advances. In July of 2002, the FHLB approved an increase in the Bank's credit line to 35% of total assets from 20% of total assets. On a pro forma basis, had this been in effect at June 30, 2002, the Bank's credit line would have increased by $81.5 million, to $190.2 million.


DIVIDENDS

        As a Delaware corporation, Pacific Crest may pay common dividends out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, from net profits for the current and preceding fiscal year. Pacific Crest, on an unconsolidated basis, had approximately $3.7 million in cash and investments less current liabilities and short-term debt at June 30, 2002. However, these funds are necessary to pay future operating expenses of Pacific Crest, service all outstanding debt, including the $17.25 million junior subordinated debentures payable to PCC Capital, and fund possible future capital infusions into the Bank. Without dividends from the Bank, Pacific Crest must rely solely on existing cash, investments, and the ability to secure borrowings.

        The Bank's ability to pay dividends to Pacific Crest is restricted by California state law, which requires that sufficient retained earnings be available to pay the dividend. On June 14, 2002, the Bank paid a cash dividend of $800,000 to Pacific Crest for the second quarter of 2002. During the first quarter of 2002, the Bank declared and paid a cash dividend of $800,000 to Pacific Crest. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had retained earnings of $23.6 million available for future dividend payments.

        On July 26, 2002, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share for the third quarter of 2002. The dividend will be paid on September 13, 2002 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 30, 2002.

        On May 13, 2002, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per common share for the second quarter of 2002. The dividend was paid on June 14, 2002 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 31, 2002. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.08 per common share. The total amount of cash dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $389,000.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company's objective is to maintain a level of capital that will support sustained asset growth, provide for anticipated credit risks, and ensure that regulatory guidelines and industry standards are met. Pacific Crest and the Bank are subject to certain minimum capital adequacy and minimum well capitalized category guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. These guidelines relate primarily to the leverage ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and the total risk-based capital ratio. The minimum well capitalized required ratios are 5.00% leverage, 6.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital, and 10.00% total risk-based capital. The minimum capital adequacy required ratios are 4.00% leverage, 4.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital, and 8.00% total risk-based capital. At June 30, 2002, Pacific Crest and the Bank were in compliance with all such capital requirements.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        The Company's primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time to maximize income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize the risks. The Company's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability committee. Tools used by management include an interest rate shock analysis and, to a lesser extent, the standard GAP report, which measures the estimated difference between the amount of interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities anticipated to mature or reprice during future periods, based on certain assumptions. The Company has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes and is not currently engaged in transactions involving derivative financial instruments. Management believes that the Company's market risk is reasonable at this time.

        The following table is a summary of the Company's one-year GAP as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

 
  June 30,
2002

  December 31, 2001
  Increase
(Decrease)

 
Total interest-sensitive assets maturing or repricing within one year ("one-year assets")   $ 344,781   $ 329,491   $ 15,290  
Total interest-sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing within one year ("one-year liabilities")     392,576     408,971     (16,395 )
   
 
 
 
One-year GAP   $ (47,795 ) $ (79,480 ) $ 31,685  
   
 
 
 

        The one-year GAP increased by $31.7 million during the first six months of 2002, principally due to an increase in one-year assets of $15.3 million and a decrease in one-year liabilities of $16.4 million.

        The growth in one-year assets was primarily due to a $28.1 million increase in the one-year loan category, partially offset by a $12.7 million decline in securities purchased under resale agreements. The increase in one-year loans was principally due to loans that moved into the one-year category from longer term categories because they were initially fixed rate for a period of one to five years and have now converted to the adjustable rate period of their terms. Additionally, the Company's loan growth during the six months ended June 30, 2002 was primarily due to the origination and purchase of adjustable rate loans.

        The $12.7 million decrease in short-term securities purchased under resale agreements was principally attributable to a $25.5 million redemption of such securities in March of 2002 to purchase long-term, fixed rate mortgage-backed securities. This factor was partially offset by the investment into these short-term securities of cash proceeds received from principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.

        The decline in one-year liabilities was primarily due to decreases of $46.8 million and $10.0 million in one-year certificates of deposit and term borrowings, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $42.5 million in short-term, adjustable rate FHLB advances.

        The Company has assumed, for purposes of the GAP table below, that its checking and savings accounts reprice immediately.
