NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business of the Company Harrington West Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is a diversified, community-based financial institution holding company incorporated on August 29, 1995 to acquire and hold all of the outstanding common stock of Los Padres Bank, FSB (the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank, which operates 13 banking facilities serving individuals and small to medium-sized businesses. Ten banking facilities are operated on the California Central Coast, one banking facility is located in Scottsdale Arizona, and two banking facilities in the Kansas City metropolitan area, which are operated as a division under the Harrington Bank brand. On May 3, 2004, a thirteenth banking facility opened in Ventura, California. The Company has a definitive purchase agreement to acquire an existing 3,500 square-foot office building near the Scottsdale, Arizona airport to be converted to a full service banking operation. The Company also owns Harrington Wealth Management Company, a trust and investment management company with $124.1 million in assets under management or custody, and 51% of Los Padres Mortgage Company, LLC.

In June 2002, the Bank entered into a joint venture agreement with Market Resources, Inc., the owner of numerous RE/MAX brokerage agencies in the Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona, metropolitan areas. Under the agreement, the Bank established Los Padres Mortgage, LLC as a 51%-owned mortgage-banking subsidiary. Los Padres Mortgage, LLC brokers single-family residential and commercial real estate loans primarily to third party investors to generate fee income. The Bank also has the opportunity to purchase select single-family and commercial real estate loans from Los Padres Mortgage, LLC for its portfolio. Los Padres Mortgage, LLC began operations in September 2002.

Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements are condensed and do not contain all information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”) to be included in a full set of financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to make information comparable between years. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of the operations of the Company. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

The preparation of financial statements that are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries presented herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2003, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Allowance for Loan Losses - Allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries).

The allowance is maintained at a level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable credit losses. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the credit portfolio and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently

subjective, as it requires material estimates, including, among others, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgages, and general amounts for historical loss experience, economic conditions, uncertainties in estimating losses and inherent risks in the various credit portfolios, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company makes specific allocations to impaired loans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Loans are identified as impaired when it is deemed probable that the borrower will be unable to meet the scheduled principal and interest payments under the terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, a creditor may measure impairment based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Allocations to non-homogenous loan pools are developed by loan type and risk factor and are based on historical loss trends and management’s judgment concerning those trends and other relevant factors. These factors may include, among others, trends in criticized assets, regional and national economic conditions, changes in lending policies and procedures, trends in local real estate values and changes in volumes and terms of the loan portfolio.

Homogenous (consumer and residential mortgage) loan allocations are made at a total portfolio level based on historical loss experience adjusted for portfolio activity and economic conditions.

Management believes the level of the allowance as of June 30, 2004 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

On March 31, 2004, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments,” (EITF 03-1) which provides guidance o recognizing other-than temporary impairments on certain investments. The issue is effective for other-than-temporary impairment evaluations for investments accounted for under SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” as well as non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting ETIF 03-1 and has not yet completed this analysis.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plan. The Company uses the “fair value” method of accounting for compensation cost in connection with employee stock options. The fair value method requires issuers to record compensation expense over the period the options are expected to be outstanding prior to exercise, expiration, or cancellation. The amount of compensation expense to be recognized for this term is the “fair value” of the options at the time of the grant as determined by an option-pricing model. The option-pricing model computes fair value for the options based on the length of their term, the volatility of the stock price in past periods, and other factors. Under this method, the issuer recognizes compensation expense regardless of whether the employee exercises the options.

The fair values of options granted under the Company’s incentive stock option plan were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Had the Company recognized compensation expense over the expected life of the options based on the fair value method as discussed above, the Company’s pro forma net income and earnings per share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 would have been as follows:

2. SIX - FOR - FIVE STOCK SPLIT

On February 11, 2004, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a six-for-five stock split in the form of a 20% stock dividend. The fractional shares distributed in connection with this stock dividend were paid in cash based on the closing market price on the record date. The additional shares were distributed to shareholders of record as of February 25, 2004 on March 11, 2004. The effect of the stock split has been recognized and reflected in all share and per share amounts for all periods presented.

General

     The Company is a diversified, community-based, financial institution holding company headquartered in Solvang, California with its executive offices in Overland Park, Kansas. The Company conducts operations primarily through Los Padres Bank, FSB, a federally chartered savings bank, and its division located in the Kansas City metropolitan area, Harrington Bank. Los Padres Bank has two subsidiaries, Harrington Wealth Management Company and Los Padres Mortgage Company, LLC. Harrington Wealth Management Company is a wholly owned subsidiary with offices in Richmond, Indiana, Solvang, California and Mission, Kansas. Los Padres Mortgage Company, LLC is a 51% owned mortgage-banking subsidiary located in the Phoenix/Scottsdale metropolitan area.

     The Company is focused on providing its diversified products and personalized service approach in three distinct markets: (i) the central coast of California, (ii) the Kansas City metropolitan area and (iii) the Phoenix/Scottsdale metropolitan area, based on Management’s knowledge of the market, the favorable demographics and economies of each, and the banking relationship growth potential. The Company has ten offices on the central coast of California, two offices in the Kansas City metropolitan area, and a community banking office in the Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona metropolitan area. In addition, and as noted in the summary of accounting policies, the Company has a definitive purchase agreement to acquire an existing 3,500 square-foot office building near the Scottsdale, Arizona airport to be converted to a full service banking operation. In addition, in the third quarter of 2002, the Company established Los Padres Mortgage Company, LLC, a mortgage banking company engaged in a joint venture with the largest RE/MAX franchise in Arizona to broker single-family residential and commercial real estate loans in the Phoenix/Scottsdale metropolitan area. The Company opened its tenth Los Padres Bank office on the central coast of California in Ventura on May 3, 2004. Each of the Company’s markets has its own local independent management team operating under the Los Padres Bank or Harrington Bank names. The Company’s loan underwriting, corporate administration, and treasury functions are centralized to create operating efficiencies.

     Los Padres Bank and Harrington Bank provide an array of financial products and services for businesses and retail customers by attracting deposits from individuals and businesses and using these deposits, together with borrowed funds, to originate single-family and multi-family residential, commercial real estate, commercial business, and consumer loans.

     The Company also maintains a portfolio of predominantly highly liquid mortgage-backed and related securities as a means of managing its excess liquidity and enhancing its profitability. The Company utilizes various interest rate contracts as a means of managing its interest rate risk. The Company also operates Harrington Wealth Management Company, which provides trust and investment management services to individuals and small institutional clients by employing a customized asset allocation approach and investing predominantly in low fee, indexed mutual funds and exchange traded indexed funds.

Critical Accounting Policies

     General. The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States

- 12 -


Table of Contents

of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods.

     The financial information contained in our consolidated financial statements is, to a significant extent, based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when recognizing income or expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors to determine the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. We also calculate the fair value of our interest rate contracts and securities based on market prices and the expected useful lives of our depreciable assets. We enter into interest rate contracts that are classified as trading account assets or to accommodate our own risk management purposes. The interest rate contracts are generally interest swaps, although we could enter into other types of interest rate contracts. We value these contracts at fair value, using readily available, and market quoted prices. We have not historically entered into derivative contracts, which relate to credit, equity, commodity, energy or weather-related indices. Generally accepted accounting principles themselves may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change. As of June 30, 2004, we have not created any special purpose entities to securitize assets or to obtain off-balance sheet funding. Although we have sold loans in past years, those loans have been sold to third parties without recourse, subject to customary representations and warranties.

     Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two principles of accounting: (i) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable; and (ii) SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” and SFAS No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures,” which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. Our allowance for loan losses has four components: (i) an allocated allowance for specifically identified problem loans, (ii) a formula allowance for non-homogenous loans, (iii) an allocated allowance for large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans and (iv) an unallocated allowance, which contains amounts that are based on management’s evaluation of conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of the specific allowances. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur. The formula allowance uses a model based on historical losses as an indicator of future losses and as a result could differ from the losses incurred in the future; however, since this history is updated with the most recent loss information, the differences that might otherwise occur may be mitigated. The specific allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss. Historical loss information, discounted cash flows, fair market value of collateral and secondary market information are all used to estimate those losses. The use of these values is inherently subjective and our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. The unallocated allowance captures losses that

are attributable to various economic events, industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the formula or specific allowances.

Financial Condition

     The Company’s total assets increased to $1.050.4 million at June 30, 2004, as compared to $974.8 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $75.6 million or 7.8%. The increase was partially attributable to growth in net loans to $565.4 million as of June 30, 2004, compared to $518.5 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $46.9 million or 9.0%. The Company’s primary focus with respect to its lending operations has historically been the direct origination of single-family and multi-family residential, commercial real estate, business, and consumer loans. Although the Company continues to emphasize single-family residential loan products that meet its customers’ needs, the Company now generally brokers such loans on behalf of third party investors in order to generate fee income. As part of its strategic plan to diversify its loan portfolio, the Company has been increasing its emphasis on loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family residential, consumer and commercial and industrial loans. Single-family residential loan balances increased to $98.2 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $93.7 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $4.5 million, while non-single-family loans as a group increased to $473.5 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $430.4 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $43.1 million.

The Company manages the securities portfolio in order to enhance net interest income and net market value, as opportunities dictate, and deploys excess capital in investment assets until such time as the Company can reinvest into loans or other community banking assets that generate higher risk-adjusted returns.

     The fair values of securities can change due to credit concerns, i.e. whether the issuer will in fact be able to pay the obligation when due, prepayment speeds, and due to changes in interest rates. All of the available for sale securities held by the Company are carried at their fair value. Adjustments to the carrying amount for changes in fair value for securities classified as available-for-sale are not recorded in the Company’s income statement. Instead, the after-tax effect of the change is shown in other comprehensive income. Consequently, as shown in the tables above, there are unrealized gains and losses related to the available for sale securities held by the Company.

     The following table discloses security balances by categories that are at an unrealized loss at June 30, 2004 with the corresponding duration of the loss. Included in the table are 86 securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than a year and 8 securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than one year. Although the securities have varying levels of credit risk, the Company has concluded that none of these securities is other than temporarily impaired and the full recovery of principal and interest is expected if held to maturity. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery.

     As of June 30, 2004, there were eight securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months: three mortgage backed securities, one commercial mortgage-backed security, and four asset-backed securities. Of the four asset backed securities in an unrealized loss position for a period greater than twelve months, one was mortgage related and three were non-mortgage related. As to the one mortgage-related asset backed security, management believes that the unrealized loss associated with this investment is attributable to changes in interest rates and spreads, and accordingly, the unrealized losses are not “other-than-temporary impairments”. The 3 non-mortgage related asset-backed positions all relate to the same security, DVI 2002 A-3A, having a fair value and unrealized loss of $4.3 million and $899 thousand, respectively, at June 30, 2004. This security is collateralized by a pool of loans and leases on medical equipment and medical business loans, is of the senior tranches of the securities issued with priority cash flow rights, and is rated B1 by Moody’s and CCC by Fitch, as of June 30, 2004. Management believes that the $899 thousand of unrealized loss on this security is attributable to uncertainty surrounding the bankruptcy of the servicer, DVI, Inc. (“DVI”) and therefore the ability of the loans to be adequately monitored and serviced, as well as uncertainty about the future delinquency and default rates on the underlying loans. On February 24, 2004, an agreement was finalized to transfer the servicing of DVI securities to U.S. Bank, NA. Since December 2003, U.S. Bank personnel have been assisting DVI with the servicing of these securities and underlying loans. As of the six-months ending June 30, 2004, and as a result of our senior tranche position, 17% of our outstanding principal has been returned, and the average life of the security is estimated to be approximately two years. Management performs a stress test of the delinquencies on the underlying loans and the recovery rates of defaulted loans, and under these assumptions that are more conservative than current experience, Management projects that all interest and principal can be recovered on this security if held to maturity.

     The “Due from broker” account increased to $5.5 million at June 30, 2004, as compared to $0.0 at December 31, 2003, as a result of the sale of securities classified as available for sale, which were sold in the quarter but not settled until after quarter-end. In accordance with trade date accounting, the securities were not included in available for sale assets with a corresponding asset in the due from broker account.

     Total deposits increased to $589.8 million as of June 30, 2004, as compared to $570.7 million as of December 31, 2003, an increase of $19.1 million or 3.3%. The increase in deposits was attributable to the recently opened Overland Park and Ventura community banking offices in Kansas and California, opening in December 2003 and April 2004, respectively, with growth of $18.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2004, while deposits in most other markets slightly decreased due to the Company’s emphasis on reducing the cost of higher rate sensitive deposits.

     Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco increased to $295.0 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $262.5 million at December 31, 2003, a $32.5 million or 12.4% increase. During the quarter, the Company used FHLB advances and the growth of deposits in order to support the increase in new loan fundings. For additional information concerning limitations on FHLB advances, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

     The “Due to broker” account increased to $12.8 million at June 30, 2004, as compared to $0.0 at December 31, 2003, as a result of the purchase of securities classified as available for sale, which were purchased in the quarter but not settled until after quarter-end. In accordance with trade date accounting, the securities were included in available for sale assets with a corresponding liability in the due to broker account.

     On April 20, 2004, the Company engaged in a $14.0 million, three year fixed rate term repurchase agreement at rate of 2.5% to further reduce interest rate risk.

     Stockholders’ equity increased to $49.0 million at June 30, 2004, as compared to $48.1 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $895 thousand or 1.9%. The $895 thousand increase in stockholders’ equity was positively influenced by $4.0 million of net income recognized during the six-month period, a $1.6 million increase in the value of the effective portion of the interest rate swaps used as cash flow hedges to modify the interest rate sensitivity of the Banks short-term FHLB advances and $420 thousand of incentive stock options exercised. A $1.6 million decrease in the unrealized gains on securities available for sale and $3.6 million in dividends paid on the Company’s common stock offset these increases. With respect to the pay fixed rate, receive 3-month LIBOR swaps referred to above, the increase in value was attributable to the general increase in interest rates during the quarter.

Results of Operations

     The Company reported net income of $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $169 thousand or 9.3%. The Company reported net income of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $624 thousand or 18.3%. The increase in net income was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income and a decline in the provision for loan losses, and was partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense and a decrease in other income. The Company’s overall tax rate was reduced in the first quarter of 2004 due to the apportionment of taxable income to states with lower income tax rates. On a diluted earnings per share basis, the Company earned $.35 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $.33 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2003. On a diluted earnings per share basis, the Company earned $.72 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $.63 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Return on average equity was 16.1% and 16.7% in the June quarter and year-to-date periods compared to 16.3% and 15.6% in the same periods in 2003, respectively.

     The Company’s net interest income after provision for loan losses increased by $1.3 million or 20.9% to $7.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004 over the prior comparable period in 2003. The Company’s net interest income after provision for loan losses increased by $2.3 million or 19.6% to $14.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 over the prior comparable period in 2003. The increase in the Company’s net interest income during both periods reflected the continued growth in its interest-earning assets and its increased focus on higher spread-earning loans, primarily commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and multi-family residential real estate loans. The net interest margin remained relatively constant at 3.05% during the three months ended June 30, 2004, when compared to 3.04% in the same period of 2003. The net interest margin decreased by 6 basis points to 3.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2004, when compared to the same period in 2003. The slight decline in the net interest margin is due to the $93 million in average growth in lower margin investment securities and lower market rates, with the total yield on investment securities decreasing by 27 basis points from the six-month period ending June 2004 quarter compared to the June 2003 quarter. The investment growth

     The Company reported interest income of $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $1.4 million or 12.6%. The Company reported total interest income of $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $2.3 million or 10.2%. The primary reason for the increase during the periods was the increase in the volume of interest-earning assets in the periods, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average rate on interest-earning assets.

     The Company reported total interest expense of $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $183 thousand or 3.6%. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company reported total interest expense of $10.4 million, compared to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $270 thousand or 2.7%. The increase in interest expense during both periods was attributable to an increase in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities net of a decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities as a result of the downward repricing of interest bearing-liabilities during the respective periods.

     The Company recorded its provision for loan losses of $230 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $250 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $20 thousand. Provision for loan losses of $320 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $610 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $290 thousand, despite the $46.9 million in loan growth since December 31, 2003. The provision reflects the reserves required based upon, among other things, the Company’s analysis of the composition, credit quality and growth of

its commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios. At June 30, 2004, the Company had $5 thousand of non-performing assets, as compared to $12 thousand of total loans as of December 31, 2003.

     The Company’s total other income, which includes gain and losses on securities and extinguishment of debt, loans, deposits, borrowings, and trading assets, plus banking fee income amounted to $930 thousand for the quarter ending June 30, 2004 compared to $1.6 million during the same quarter last year, a decrease of $632 thousand or 40.5%. The Company’s total other income amounted to $2.0 million for the six month period ending June 30, 2004 compared to $2.7 million during the same period last year, a decrease of $703 thousand or 25.8%. The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a decrease in mortgage brokerage and prepayment penalty fees as refinancings slowed markedly and lower net gains on assets and liabilities.

     The Company attempts to manage its investment securities and the related borrowings and hedges thereof on a duration-matched basis. As such, net gains and losses on these investments are primarily the result of the changes in interest rate spreads between the securities and the hedged borrowings and the related effect on net market values. That is, as spreads tighten, net mark-to-market gains are generated and as spreads widen, net mark-to-market losses occur on these instruments. During the June 2004 quarter, the Company had $82 thousand in net gains on trading assets, the sale of securities, other gains and losses and the extinguishment of related borrowings compared to net gain on these instruments of $362 thousand in the June 2003 quarter. For the six-months ended June 30, 2004, the net gains on trading assets, the sale of securities, other gains and losses, and the extinguishment of related borrowings was $410 thousand compared to $497 thousand in the same period in 2003. The decrease in net gains in the first six months of 2004 over 2003 of $87 thousand can be attributed largely to the higher spread narrowing of investment grade, commercial mortgage backed securities to comparable duration LIBOR swap rates in the first six-months of 2003 over 2004.

     Banking fee income amounted to $848 thousand for the quarter ending June 30, 2004 compared to $1.2 million during the same quarter last year, a decrease of $352 thousand or 29.3%. Banking fee income amounted to $1.6 million for the six-month period ending June 30, 2004 compared to $2.2 million during the same period last year, a decrease of $616 thousand or 27.7%. Loan fees decreased due to the slowdown of refinancing activity, which decreased mortgage brokerage fees by $543 thousand or 46.7% and prepayment penalty fees decreased by $168 thousand or 35.1% when comparing the June 2004 six-month period to the June 2003 six-month period. Fees on deposits and trust fees from the Company’s subsidiary, Harrington Wealth Management Company, were the main source of the growth in banking fee income. Deposit and other retail banking fee income contributed $384 thousand for the six months ending June 2004, an increase of $30 thousand or 8.5% as compared to the six-months ending June 30 2003. Harrington Wealth Management’s trust fee income contributed $295 thousand for the six-months ending June 2004, an increase of $65 thousand or 28.3%, compared to the same period last year.

     The Company’s total other expenses were $4.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $398 thousand or 8.9%. The Company’s total other expenses were $9.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $843 thousand or 9.6%. The increase in expenses was largely due to the expenses associated with the initial start-up expenses for the Company’s new banking operations in Overland Park, Kansas and Ventura, California and higher costs for workers’ compensation insurance for the California operations and other insurance coverages, as well as an increase in general corporate expenses associated with the Company being a public company and the growth in banking operations.

     Net income was favorably impacted in the June 2004 quarter and year-to-date periods by a reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate due to the taxable income being earned and apportioned to

- 24 -

states with lower tax rates. The effective tax rate was 40.5% and 39.0% in the June 2004 quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, compared to 41.5% for both the June quarter and year-to-date in 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Liquidity. The liquidity of Los Padres Bank, as measured by the ratio of cash, cash equivalents (not committed, pledged or required to liquidate specific liabilities), investments and qualifying mortgage-backed securities to the sum of total deposits plus borrowings payable within one year, was 34.2% at June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2004, Los Padres Bank’s “liquid” assets totaled approximately $189.7 million.

     The Company’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company’s primary sources of internal liquidity consist of deposits, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, maturities of short-term investments, sales of mortgage-backed and related securities and funds provided from operations. The Company’s external sources of liquidity consist of borrowings, primarily advances from the FHLB of San Francisco, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and a revolving line of credit loan facility, which it maintains with two banks. At June 30, 2004, the Company had $295.0 million in FHLB advances and had $72.3 million of additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of San Francisco based on a 35% of total Bank asset limitation. Borrowing capacity from the FHLB is further limited to $52.3 million based on excess collateral pledged at the FHLB as of June 30, 2004.

     The Company has a revolving line of credit with a maximum borrowing capacity of $15.0 million with a maturity of September 30, 2007. We anticipate that we will utilize this line of credit as growth opportunities develop and to provide working capital. At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had not utilized its revolving line of credit.

     Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally used to pay down short-term borrowings. On a longer-term basis, the Company maintains a strategy of investing in various mortgage-backed and related securities and loans. At June 30, 2004, the total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $36.9 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 2004 totaled $44.1 million, and FHLB borrowings and repurchase agreements scheduled to mature within the same period amounted to $276.0 million. Management believes the Company has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments and the Company could either adjust the rate of certificates of deposit in order to retain deposits in changing interest rate environments or replace such deposits with advances from the FHLB of San Francisco, or other borrowings, if it proved cost-effective to do so.

     A substantial source of the Company’s cash flow from which it services its debt and capital trust securities, pays its obligations, and pays dividends to its shareholders is the receipt of dividends from Los Padres Bank. The availability of dividends from Los Padres Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations. In order to make such dividend payment, Los Padres Bank is required to provide 30 days advance notice to the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), during which time the OTS may object to such dividend payment. It is possible, depending upon the financial condition of Los Padres Bank and other factors, the OTS could object to the payment of dividends by Los Padres Bank on the basis that the payment of such dividends is an unsafe or unsound practice. The OTS, on July, 7, 2004, approved the payment of $6 million in dividends from Los Padres Bank to the Company over the next four quarters.

     Capital Resources. Federally insured savings institutions such as Los Padres Bank are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Under applicable regulations, an institution is well capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0% and a leverage ratio of at least 5.0%, with no written agreement, order, capital directive, prompt corrective action directive or other individual requirement by the OTS to maintain a specific capital measure. An institution is adequately capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least

- 25 -


Table of Contents

8.0% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4.0% and a leverage ratio of at least 4.0% (or 3.0% if it has a composite rating of “1”). The regulation also establishes three categories for institutions with lower ratios: undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. At June 30, 2004, Los Padres Bank met the capital requirements of a “well capitalized” institution under applicable OTS regulations. At June 30, 2004, the Bank’s Tier 1 (Core) Capital Ratio was 6.11%, Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 10.43%, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 9.68% and Tangible Equity Ratio was 6.11%.

Asset and Liability Management

     In general, thrift financial institutions are negatively affected by an increase in interest rates to the extent that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more rapidly than interest-earning assets. The lending activities of savings institutions have historically emphasized the origination of long-term, fixed-rate loans secured by single-family residences, and the primary source of funds of such institutions has been deposits, which largely mature or are subject to repricing within a shorter period of time. This factor has historically caused the income and market value of portfolio equity (“MVPE”) of savings institutions to be more volatile than other financial institutions.

     MVPE is defined as the net present value of the cash flows from an institution’s existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments. The MVPE is estimated by valuing our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments under various interest rate scenarios. The extent to which assets gain or lose value in relation to the gains or losses of liabilities determines the appreciation or depreciation in equity on a market value basis. MVPE analysis is intended to evaluate the impact of immediate and sustained interest rate shifts of the current yield curve upon the market value of the current balance sheet. While having liabilities that reprice more frequently than assets is generally beneficial to net interest income and MVPE in times of declining interest rates, such an asset/liability mismatch is generally detrimental during periods of rising interest rates.

     The Company’s management believes that its asset and liability management strategy, as discussed below, provides it with a competitive advantage over other financial institutions. The Company believes that its ability to hedge its interest rate exposure through the use of various interest rate contracts provides it with the flexibility to acquire loans structured to meet its customer’s preferences and investments that provide attractive net risk-adjusted spreads, regardless of whether the customer’s loan or our investment is fixed-rate or adjustable-rate or short-term or long-term. Similarly, the Company can choose a cost-effective source of funds and subsequently engage in an interest rate swap or other hedging transaction so that the interest rate sensitivities of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are more closely matched.

     The Company’s asset and liability management strategy is formulated and monitored by the board of directors of Los Padres Bank. The Board’s written policies and procedures are implemented by the Asset and Liability Committee of Los Padres Bank (“ALCO”), which is comprised of Los Padres Bank’s chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, senior controller, director of financial reporting and four non-employee directors of Los Padres Bank. The ALCO meets at least eight times a year to review the sensitivity of Los Padres Bank’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, investment opportunities, the performance of the investment portfolios, and prior purchase and sale activity of securities. The ALCO also provides guidance to management on reducing interest rate risk and on investment strategy and retail pricing and funding decisions with respect to Los Padres Bank’s overall asset and liability composition. The ALCO reviews Los Padres Bank’s liquidity, cash flow needs, interest rate sensitivity of investments, deposits and borrowings, core deposit activity, current market conditions and interest rates on both a local and national level in connection with fulfilling its responsibilities.

     The ALCO regularly reviews interest rate risk with respect to the impact of alternative interest rate scenarios on net interest income and on Los Padres Bank’s MVPE. The Asset and Liability

Committee also reviews analyses concerning the impact of changing market volatility, prepayment forecast error, and changes in option-adjusted spreads and non-parallel yield curve shifts.

     In the absence of hedging activities, the Company’s MVPE would decline as a result of a general increase in market rates of interest. This decline would be due to the market values of the Company’s assets being more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations than are the market values of its liabilities due to its investment in and origination of generally longer-term assets which are funded with shorter-term liabilities. Consequently, the elasticity (i.e., the change in the market value of an asset or liability as a result of a change in interest rates) of the Company’s assets is greater than the elasticity of its liabilities.

     Accordingly, the primary goal of the Company’s asset and liability management policy is to effectively increase the elasticity of its liabilities and/or effectively contract the elasticity of its assets so that the respective elasticities are matched as closely as possible. This elasticity adjustment can be accomplished internally, by restructuring the balance sheet, or externally by adjusting the elasticities of assets and/or liabilities through the use of interest rate contracts. The Company’s strategy is to hedge, either internally through the use of longer-term certificates of deposit or less sensitive transaction deposits and FHLB advances, or externally through the use of various interest rate contracts.

     External hedging generally involves the use of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options and futures. The notional amount of interest rate contracts represents the underlying amount on which periodic cash flows are calculated and exchanged between counterparties. However, this notional amount does not necessarily represent the principal amount of securities that would effectively be hedged by that interest rate contract.

     In selecting the type and amount of interest rate contract to utilize, the Company compares the elasticity of a particular contract to that of the securities to be hedged. An interest rate contract with the appropriate offsetting elasticity could have a notional amount much greater than the face amount of the securities being hedged.

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, on January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all interest rate contracts as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, an interest rate contract may be specifically designated as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a hedge of foreign currency exposure. The accounting for changes in the fair value of an interest rate contract (that is, gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the interest rate contract and the resulting designation. To qualify for hedge accounting, the Company must show that, at the inception of the interest rate contracts, and on an ongoing basis, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate contracts are expected to be highly effective in offsetting related changes in the cash flows of the hedged liabilities. The Company has entered into various interest rate swaps for the purpose of hedging certain of its short-term liabilities. These interest rate swaps qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the effective portion of the accumulated change in the fair value of the cash flow hedges is recorded in a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax, while the ineffective portion is recognized in earnings immediately.

     The Company has also entered into various total return swaps where cash flows are based on the level and changes in the yield spread on investment grade commercial mortgage backed security indexes relative to similar duration LIBOR swap rates. These swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are included in the trading account assets and are reported at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses on these instruments recognized in income (loss) from trading account assets. At June 30, 2004, the Company had $145 million of these swaps, and a 10 basis point spread change is expected to have a $696 thousand pre-tax mark-to-market value effect.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     The OTS requires each thrift institution to calculate the estimated change in the institution’s MVPE assuming an instantaneous, parallel shift in the Treasury yield curve of 100 to 300 basis points either up or down in 100 basis point increments. The OTS permits institutions to perform this MVPE analysis using their own internal model based upon reasonable assumptions.

     In estimating the market value of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, the Company utilizes various prepayment assumptions, which vary, in accordance with historical experience, based upon the term, interest rate, prepayment penalties, if applicable, and other factors with respect to the underlying loans. At June 30, 2004, these prepayment assumptions varied from 7.5% to 34.0% for fixed-rate mortgages and mortgage-backed securities and varied from 2.0% to 47.9% for adjustable-rate mortgages and mortgage-backed securities.

     The following table sets forth at June 30, 2004 the estimated sensitivity of Los Padres Bank’s MVPE to parallel yield curve shifts using the Company’s internal market value calculation. The table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities both before and after the inclusion of its interest rate contracts.
