Forward-Looking Statements

     This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which describe our future plans, strategies and expectations. All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those that we anticipate. Factors that might affect forward-looking statements include, among other things:

     our ability to remain in compliance with written regulatory agreements with government agencies;
 
     the demand for our products;
 
     actions taken by our competitors;
 
     tax rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law interpretations;
 
     adverse changes occurring in the securities markets;
 
     inflation and changes in prevailing interest rates that reduce our margins or the fair value of the financial instruments we hold;
 
     economic or business conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than we expect;
 
     legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business;
 
     the timing, impact and other uncertainties of our asset sales or securitizations;
 
     technological changes that are more difficult or expensive than we expect;
 
     increases in delinquencies and defaults by our borrowers and other loan delinquencies;
 
     increases in our provision for losses on loans and leases;
 
     our inability to sustain or improve the performance of our subsidiaries;
 
     our inability to achieve the financial goals in our strategic plans, including any financial goals related to both contemplated and consummated asset and deposit sales or acquisitions;
 
     the outcome of lawsuits or regulatory disputes;
 
     credit and other risks of lending, leasing and investment activities; and
 
     our inability to use the net operating loss carryforwards and other net deferred tax assets that we currently have.

     Certain risk factors exist in connection with the transactions with Washington Mutual and U.S. Bank and our plan of dissolution and stockholder liquidity as further discussed in Note 13 to the Financial Statements and the Strategic Overview section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The risk factors include:

     the possibility of not making any distributions to our stockholders, if our plan of dissolution and stockholder liquidity is not authorized at the special stockholder meeting, unless and until we enter into an agreement regarding another transaction that would provide a source of funds for stockholder liquidity;
 
     the possibility of not proceeding with our plan of dissolution and stockholder liquidity if the sale of our retail banking assets to U.S. Bank does not close;
 
     the possibility of not being able to close the sale of our retail banking assets to U.S. Bank if we cannot consummate other asset transactions resulting in proceeds of not less than approximately $1.3 billion;
 
     the uncertainty of the amount we ultimately distribute to our stockholders; and
 
     possible stockholder liability if we make stockholder distributions but do not establish adequate reserves for all of our expenses and liabilities as part of our liquidation.

     As a result of the above, we cannot assure you that our future results of operations or financial condition or any other matters will be consistent with those presented in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, we caution you not to rely on these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2002
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bay View Capital Corporation (the “Company”), a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, and our wholly owned subsidiaries: Bay View Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), a national bank; Bay View Securitization Corporation, a Delaware corporation; Bay View Capital I, a Delaware business trust; FMAC Insurance Services, a Delaware corporation; FMAC 2000-A Holding Company, a California corporation; and FMAC Franchise Receivables Corporation, a California corporation. Bay View Bank includes its wholly owned subsidiaries: Bay View Acceptance Corporation, a Nevada corporation; Bay View Commercial Finance Group, a California corporation; XBVBKRS, Inc., formerly Bankers Mutual, a California corporation; MoneyCare, Inc., a California corporation; and Bay View Auxiliary Corporation, a California corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     On November 1, 1999, we acquired Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company, sometimes referred to as FMAC, which included the operations of Bankers Mutual and FMAC Insurance Services. On June 30, 2000, substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Bankers Mutual were sold to Berkshire Mortgage Finance Limited Partnership. On September 11, 2000, we announced the restructuring of FMAC’s franchise lending operations. The shutdown of this division was effective as of September 30, 2000 and involved the termination of all related production and marketing personnel. Effective February 28, 2001, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of FMAC Insurance Services were sold. On June 22, 2001, we completed the stock sale by Bay View Bank of the legal entity Bay View Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company (“BVFMAC”) and its related servicing platform. On December 31, 2001, in connection with the financing secured by our auto lease cash flows, LFS-BV, formerly a subsidiary of Bay View Acceptance Corporation, was merged into Bay View Bank.

     In May 2001, we completed a rights offering and a concurrent offering to standby purchasers that generated aggregate gross proceeds of $137.5 million. With this additional capital, we implemented a new strategic plan that included exiting businesses inconsistent with a California-focused bank and included assumptions related to the liquidation of our remaining franchise-related assets and operations and our remaining high loan-to-value home equity loans. Our results for 2001 included specific charges consistent with our new strategic plan. The specific charges were primarily related to the stock sale of the legal entity BVFMAC and its related servicing platform, the disposition of franchise-related assets, restructuring charges primarily related to the reduction in our workforce announced in May 2001 and prepayment penalties related to a reduction in higher-cost borrowings.

     The information provided in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the results of our operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and our cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q. As necessary, reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations or stockholders’ equity. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include all of the necessary information and footnotes for a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     The information included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” was written assuming that you have read or have access to our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the latest audited consolidated financial statements and notes, along with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. Accordingly, only certain changes in financial condition and results of

operations are discussed in this Form 10-Q. Furthermore, the interim financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.

Note 2. Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings or loss for the period by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for that period. There is no adjustment to the number of outstanding shares for potential dilutive instruments, such as stock options or warrants. Diluted earnings or loss per share takes into account the potential dilutive impact of such instruments and uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares to add to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, average dilutive potential common shares of 585,273, 112,419 and 94,591 shares, respectively, related to shares issuable upon the exercise of options were not included in the computation because they were anti-dilutive.

     The following table illustrates the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated:

                                 
    For the Three Months Ended,   For the Six Months Ended,

Note 3. Stock Options

     As of June 30, 2002, we had five employee stock option plans and three non-employee director stock option plans. The employee stock option plans were as follows: the “Amended and Restated 1986 Stock Option and Incentive Plan,” the “Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option and Incentive Plan,” the “1998-2000 Performance Stock Plan,” the “1999 FMAC Stock Option, Deferred Stock and Restricted Stock Plan,” and the “2001 Stock Option and Incentive Plan” which authorize the issuance of up to 1,759,430, 2,500,000, 400,000, 270,576, and 3,200,000 shares of common stock, respectively. The non-employee director stock option plans were as follows: the “Amended and Restated 1989 Non-Employee Director Stock Option and Incentive Plan,” the “1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option and Incentive Plan,” and the “2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan” which authorize the issuance of up to 550,000, 200,000, and 500,000 shares of common stock, respectively.

     During the first six months of 2002, we recognized a total of $1.3 million in expenses related to the issuance of stock options with below market strike prices. We will amortize an additional $2.7 million of compensation expense over the next thirteen months.

Note 4. Merger and Acquisition-Related Activity

Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company

     We completed our acquisition of Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company and its wholly owned division, Bankers Mutual, collectively referred to as FMAC, on November 1, 1999. Under the terms of the agreement, as amended, we acquired all of the common stock of FMAC for consideration valued at approximately $285 million. Each share of FMAC common stock was exchanged for, at the election of the holder, either $9.80 in cash or 0.5444 shares of our common stock. In total, cash elections were limited to 15% of the shares of FMAC common stock outstanding immediately prior to closing and the elections for our common stock were limited to 85% of the shares of FMAC common stock outstanding immediately prior to closing. We paid approximately $48 million in cash, including payments for certain acquisition costs, and issued 13,868,805 shares of our common stock, a portion of which were issued from our shares in treasury. Upon consummation of the acquisition, we contributed substantially all of FMAC’s assets and liabilities to newly formed subsidiaries of Bay View Bank. The acquisition of FMAC was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The amount of goodwill recorded as of the merger date, which represented the excess of the total purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired, was approximately $199 million. This amount was associated entirely with BVFMAC’s lending operations, which was the core business acquired, and was initially amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.

     On June 30, 2000, substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Bankers Mutual were sold to or assumed by Berkshire Mortgage Finance Limited Partnership for approximately $40 million in cash. In September 2000, we announced the restructuring of BVFMAC’s franchise lending operations. The shutdown of this division was effective as of September 30, 2000 and involved the termination of all related production and marketing personnel. In connection with this restructuring, goodwill of $192.6 million was written off, representing the entire unamortized balance associated with BVFMAC. Effective February 28, 2001, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of FMAC Insurance Services were sold. On June 22, 2001, we completed the stock sale by Bay View Bank of the legal entity BVFMAC and its related servicing platform to a group of investors who were formerly part of the Company’s and BVFMAC’s management. We realized a loss of $23 million as a result of the sale.

Note 5. Agreements with Regulatory Agencies

     During the third quarter of 2000, we entered into formal agreements with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, sometimes referred to as the OCC, and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

     The agreement between Bay View Bank and the OCC was dated September 6, 2000. The provisions of this agreement, among other things, require that Bay View Bank’s Board of Directors adopt a new budget as well as new strategic, earnings and capital plans. The new strategic plan establishes objectives for Bay View Bank’s overall risk profile, earnings performance, growth, and capital adequacy. In addition, a provision of the agreement states that Bay View Bank may not declare or distribute any dividends without the prior written approval of the OCC.

     The agreement between Bay View Capital Corporation and the Federal Reserve Bank was dated September 28, 2000. The provisions of this agreement, among other things, also require that we adopt a new budget and new strategic, earnings and capital plans. The agreement also states that we may not declare or pay any cash or stock dividends or make any interest payments on our Capital Securities without the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Bank. The agreement further requires the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Bank to increase the principal balance of any category of debt above the levels outstanding as of June 30, 2000. Finally, we may not repurchase any stock without the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Bank.

     At June 30, 2002, Bay View Capital Corporation’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded the requirements necessary to be considered adequately capitalized. At December 31, 2001, Bay View Capital Corporation exceeded the requirements to be considered adequately capitalized for Tier 1 risk-based capital while its Total risk-based capital ratio of 7.62% and Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3.73% fell below the required amounts. Bay View Bank’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded the requirements necessary to be considered well-capitalized at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

Note 6. Restructuring Charges

     In September 2000, we announced the restructuring of our franchise lending division, BVFMAC, which was acquired in November of 1999. The restructuring of the franchise lending division was effective as of September 30, 2000. The restructuring involved the termination of approximately 146 related production and marketing personnel, of which 116 were terminated as of September 30, 2000. Restructuring charges for the division totaled $9.2 million as of December 31, 2000, and consisted primarily of $4.1 million of severance and other involuntary termination benefits, $1.3 million of occupancy-related charges and $3.8 million of other facility and ancillary costs. Accrued restructuring liabilities at December 31, 2000 were $4.3 million, consisting of $2.7 million related to accrued severance and $1.6 million related to accrued facilities charges.

(Unaudited)

     As part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to focus on its core banking operations, a total of $6.9 million in restructuring charges were recorded during 2001 primarily related to the reduction in our workforce. The restructuring charges originally consisted of $6.7 million of severance and $3.3 million of facilities charges that were recorded in the second quarter. During the third and fourth quarters, we recorded a $2.1 million net reversal of an accrual related to severance payments which were disallowed by our primary regulator and a $1.0 million reversal of accruals related to closed facilities which were subleased earlier than projected. As previously announced, the reduction in our workforce will affect about 100 employees primarily from business lines that we are exiting, such as franchise operations, and other non-core and redundant operations.

     During 2000, 2001 and through June 30, 2002, $5.5 million in severance payments have been made to 119 employees impacted by the restructurings. Additionally, $2.5 million in facilities payments have been made as of June 30, 2002. Accrued restructuring liabilities at June 30, 2002 were $3.2 million, consisting of $1.8 million related to accrued severance and $1.4 million related to accrued facilities charges.

Note 7. Investment in Operating Lease Assets

     Leasing expense represents expenses related to our auto leasing activities. Because the leases are accounted for as operating leases, the corresponding assets are capitalized and depreciated to their estimated residual values over their lease terms. This depreciation expense is included in leasing expenses, along with the amortization of capitalized initial direct lease costs and impairment charges. Leasing expenses for the second quarter of 2002 were $16.1 million as compared to $27.3 million for the second quarter of 2001. Leasing expenses were $31.1 million for the first six months of 2002 as compared to $45.0 million for the first six months of 2001. The decreases in leasing expenses, as compared to respective prior periods, were primarily due to lower provision for impairment combined with lower depreciation expense associated with the declining balance of our auto-related operating lease portfolio. These were partially offset by a $1.5 million accrual related to certain residual and credit incentives pursuant to our purchase contract with Lendco Financial Services. We ceased purchasing auto leases in June 2000. Leasing expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 included $10.0 million of additional provision for impairment primarily as a result of revising the estimated residual values associated with the auto lease portfolio.

     The Company performs a quarterly impairment analysis of its automobile operating lease portfolio in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which we adopted effective January 1, 2002. Statement No. 144, which supersedes Statement No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,” retains the fundamental provisions of Statement No. 121 related to the recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and the measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. There was no financial statement impact upon adoption of Statement No. 144. A lease is considered impaired if its gross future undiscounted cash flows are less than the net book value of the lease. The net book value of the lease is defined as the original capitalized cost of the automobile, including initial direct capitalized costs, less the cumulative amount of depreciation recorded against the automobile and the cumulative amount of amortization of the initial direct capitalized costs recorded since the inception of the lease and less any impairment charges recorded-to-date on that lease.

     In determining gross future undiscounted cash flows, the Company contracts with Automotive Lease Guide, commonly referred to as ALG, to provide estimates of the residual value of the underlying automobiles at the end of their lease terms assuming that the vehicles are in average condition. The Company then estimates the probability that i.) the automobiles will be purchased by the lessee prior to the end of the lease term, ii.) the automobile will be purchased by the lessee at the end of the lease term, either at a discount or at the full contractual

14

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

residual amount, or iii.) the automobile will be returned to the lessor at the end of the lease term. These probabilities are estimated using a number of factors, including the Company’s experience-to-date and industry experience.

     Using the projected ALG residual values, the Company’s experience-to-date relative to the projected ALG residual values (for example, for vehicle classes where actual amounts realized were less than what ALG had projected, the Company reduced the projected ALG residual values to equal the Company’s experience-to-date), and the probabilities of each of the three disposition scenarios discussed above occurring, the Company determined a probability-weighted gross future undiscounted cash flow for each automobile lease. For those leases where the gross future undiscounted cash flows were less than net book value, the lease was considered impaired.

     For those leases considered impaired, the Company then estimated the fair value of the lease. The fair value was determined by calculating the present value of the future estimated cash flows again assuming the probabilities of each of the three disposition scenarios. The present value was calculated using current market rates which are similar to the original contract lease rate. For those impaired leases where the estimated fair value was less than the net book value, an impairment charge was recorded for the difference. Since the inception of the lease portfolio in June 1998, the Company has recorded additional monthly depreciation charges, also included in leasing expense, to provide for losses that may be incurred at the end of the lease terms. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company had net impairment and additional monthly charges against its automobile operating leases outstanding on those dates of $31.2 million and $32.7 million, respectively.

Note 8. Income Taxes

     The Company recorded tax benefits of $3.7 million and $5.6 million for the second quarter and the first six months of 2002, respectively. The tax benefit for the first six months of 2002 included a tax benefit of $1.6 million on a pre-tax loss of $2.8 million and a tax benefit of $4.0 million related to the loss incurred on the 2001 stock sale by Bay View Bank of the legal entity Bay View Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company. The Company recorded no tax benefit for this loss in its 2001 financial statements. The $4.0 million tax benefit was a result of a change in federal tax regulation that occurred in the first quarter of 2002 allowing the Company to deduct a portion of the loss associated with the sale of BVFMAC. The effective tax rate used in computing the $1.6 million tax benefit for the first six months of 2002 was 57.7%. This effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the realization of nondeductible goodwill upon the anticipated execution of the Company’s tax planning strategy in the second half of the year. For the second quarter and the first six months of 2001, the Company recorded a $59.5 million tax benefit at a 36.5% effective tax rate. For the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded no tax benefit on the pre-tax loss of $8.0 million because, at that time, management could not determine that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize benefits in the amount of these additional deferred tax assets.

     The Company believes it will be able to fully utilize its $178.7 million of net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2002. In order to fully utilize its net operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration dates, however, the Company will be required to execute certain tax planning strategies identified in 2001, primarily the sale of a portion of the Bank’s retail branches, as discussed elsewhere herein, during the second half of 2002.

     During 2000, the Company recorded a $26.0 million valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets primarily relating to approximately $48.6 million in federal net operating loss carryforwards that were expiring in 2001 as the Company did not expect to be able to fully utilize these amounts prior to their expiration date. In May 2001, the Company raised $137.5 million of additional capital which enabled the Company to implement a new strategic plan, including the disposition of non-core and higher-risk assets. As a result of these actions, the

Company’s ability to generate future taxable income is more predictable. During 2001, the Company also executed certain transactions that resulted in significant amounts of taxable income. These transactions included the sale of the BVFMAC legal entity which generated significant taxable income related to previously deferred gains in the franchise securitization trusts. The Company also executed a financing secured by the contractual cash flows of our auto operating lease portfolio that was treated as a sale for income tax purposes and generated $136.5 million in taxable income. Primarily as a result of these transactions, the Company generated sufficient taxable income during the year to be able to utilize the majority of its net operating loss carryforwards expiring in 2001. As a result, the Company eliminated the $26.0 million valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets during 2001. In addition, the Company identified tax planning strategies which included the sale of certain assets obtained in connection with a previous purchase business combination with significant built-in gains for tax purposes which would be triggered in the event of a sale. Such a transaction would not only generate significant levels of taxable income, but would also increase the limitation on the utilization of the net operating loss carryforward acquired in connection with a previous purchase business combination.

Note 9. Investment Securities

     During 2001, we transferred $631.7 million in held-to-maturity securities to our available-for-sale portfolio. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” we recorded $1.5 million of unrealized losses related to the transfer. As a result of the transfer and subsequent sales of securities from our held-to-maturity portfolio, we do not intend to hold any securities as held-to-maturity in the foreseeable future. Proceeds from sales of mortgage-backed securities during the first six months of 2002 were $92.6 million. Gross gains of $1.2 million were realized on these sales.

Note 10. Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

     The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision charged to expense and is maintained at a level that we believe is sufficient to cover estimated probable losses in the portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loan and lease losses, we evaluate specific credits and the portfolio in general using several methods that include historical performance, collateral values, cash flows and analysis of current economic conditions. This evaluation culminates with a judgment on the probability of collection based on existing and probable near term events. The underwriting of new credits may be changed or modified depending on the results of these ongoing evaluations. Discontinued lending operations receive the same scrutiny as ongoing operations but do not have the additional risk inherent in accepting new business. Our methodology provides for three allowance components. The first component represents allowance for loans and leases that are individually evaluated. The second component represents allowance for groups of homogeneous loans and leases that currently exhibit no identifiable weaknesses and are collectively evaluated. We determine the allowance for these groups of loans and leases based on factors such as prevailing economic conditions, historical loss experience, asset concentrations, levels and trends of classified assets, and loan and lease delinquencies. The last component is an unallocated allowance which is based on factors that are not necessarily associated with a specific credit, group of loans or leases or loan or lease category. These factors include an evaluation of economic conditions in areas where we lend money, loan and lease concentrations, lending policies or underwriting procedures, and trends in delinquencies and nonperforming assets. The unallocated allowance reflects our efforts to ensure that the overall allowance appropriately reflects the probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio.

     The allowance for losses on loans and leases at June 30, 2002 was $38.9 million as compared to $49.8 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in the allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2002, as compared to December 31, 2001, was primarily related to net charge-offs in excess of loan loss provision expense during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002. During 2001 and the first six months of 2002, the allowance for

(Unaudited)

loan and lease losses decreased as we transferred and subsequently sold loans from our held-for-investment portfolio to our held-for-sale portfolio. During 2001, the transfer of loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale resulted in a $53.6 million reduction to the allowance for loan and lease losses related to mark-to-market adjustments on these loans, consisting of $48.8 million in net reductions related to the sale of franchise loans and $4.8 million related to home equity loans. During the first six months of 2002, the transfer of loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale resulted in a $1.8 million reduction in the allowance for loan and lease losses related to the sale and payoff of franchise and other commercial loans.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

     On June 25, 2002, the Company and the Bank entered into a settlement agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank (“JP Morgan Chase”), successor by merger to Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York (“Morgan Guaranty”) relating to the complaint filed on November 9, 2000, in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, against Bay View Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company.

     Throughout 1999, the former Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company originated approximately $80.5 million in loans (“Loans”) to a group of borrowers consisting of Cimm’s Incorporated and its affiliates. Prior to its acquisition by the Company in 1999, FMAC sold approximately $57 million of the Loans to Morgan Guaranty. In early 2001, the Company’s Board appointed a new management team that implemented a strategic plan to exit non-core businesses and refocus on its banking operations in Northern California. As part of that strategy, the Company and the Bank sold BVFMAC and signed a specific agreement to indemnify BVFMAC with respect to the claim, which was pending at the time of the sale.

     Without admitting the truth of the allegations raised in the claim, the Bank agreed to pay to JP Morgan Chase consideration consisting of the transfer of non-performing loans held by the Bank along with a cash payment of $1.1 million, in exchange for which JP Morgan Chase agreed to release all claims against BVFMAC, the Bank and the Company relating to the sale of the Loans.

     The settlement resulted in a $13.1 million pre-tax charge to earnings recorded in the second quarter; and the removal of approximately $12 million of non-performing loans from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

     We are involved as plaintiff or defendant in various other legal actions and are occasionally exposed to unasserted claims arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, the resolution of these other legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 12. Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     As of January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that certain goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. As of January 1, 2002, the amortization of the existing goodwill ceased and amortization of the other identifiable assets with definite useful lives continue to be amortized.

     In accordance with Statement No. 142, the effect of this accounting change is reflected prospectively. Supplemental comparative disclosure as if the change had been retroactively applied to the prior year period is as follows:

     For the six-month period ending June 30, 2002, no goodwill or intangible assets were acquired, impaired, and/or written off. Goodwill of $6.5 million related to the San Mateo-based factoring business was realized as a result of the sale of this unit on June 5, 2002.

     The Company completed the first step of the transitional goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2002. This test compared the fair value of each one of the Company’s reporting units with its respective carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company established the fair value of each of the reporting units through determination of the amount at which the reporting unit could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, or if this information was not available, through the utilization of discounted cash flows and relative market multiples for comparable businesses. As a result of the first step of the transitional goodwill impairment test, the Company determined goodwill related to all of its reporting units, excluding the Asset-Based Lending reporting unit, were not expected to be impaired. The step one test indicated there might be potential impairment related to the $15.7 million of goodwill recorded at June 30, 2002 in the Asset-Based Lending unit of our Commercial Finance Group. This reporting unit is reported as part of the Commercial Platform. The transitional provisions of Statement No. 142 allows the Company to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test by December 31, 2002 to measure the actual amount of any impairment loss related to this reporting unit. According to Statement No. 142, any impairment determined by completing the second step of the test would be recorded effective January 1, 2002 as an effect of a change in accounting principle.

     Amortization expense related to intangible assets with definite useful lives, core-deposit intangibles, was $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2002. At June 30, 2002, the core-deposit intangibles gross carrying value, accumulated amortization, and net carrying value was $12.4 million, $8.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to the carrying amount of core-deposit intangibles at June 30, 2002 is approximately $0.7 million for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2002, $0.8 million annually for the years ending December 31, 2003 through 2006, and $0.6 million for the year ending December 31, 2007.

Note 13. Segment and Related Information

     We have two operating segments that we refer to as business platforms. The platforms were determined primarily based upon the characteristics of our interest-earning assets and their respective distribution channels and reflect the way that we monitor, measure and evaluate our primary business activities. Our platforms are as follows:

     A Retail Platform which is comprised of single-family real estate loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, auto loans and leases, mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and consumer banking products and services. The Retail Platform’s revenues are derived from customers throughout the United States.

     A Commercial Platform which is comprised of multi-family and commercial real estate loans, franchise loans, franchise asset-backed securities, asset-based loans, syndicated loans, factored receivables and commercial leases, and business banking products and services. The Commercial Platform’s revenues are derived from customers throughout the United States.

     Each of our business platforms contributes to our overall operations. We evaluate the performance of our segments based upon contribution by platform. Contribution by platform is defined as each platform’s net interest income and noninterest income less each platform’s allocated provision for losses on loans and leases, direct general and administrative expenses, including certain expense allocations, and other noninterest expense, including the amortization of intangible assets.

     In computing net interest income by platform, the interest expense associated with our warehouse lines, which were used primarily to fund franchise loans held-for-sale during 2001, was allocated directly to the Commercial Platform. The interest expense associated with our remaining funding sources, including the noninterest expense associated with our 9.76% Capital Securities, is allocated to each platform on a pro-rata basis determined by the relative amount of average interest-bearing liabilities, excluding warehouse lines, that are required to fund the platform’s interest-earning assets.

     The Retail Platform incurs the direct general and administrative expenses related to operating our branch network which serves primarily to generate deposits used to fund interest-earning assets in the Retail and Commercial Platforms. A portion of these direct general and administrative expenses is allocated to the Commercial Platform based upon the relative amount of average interest-bearing liabilities that are required to fund the platform’s interest-earning assets.

     All indirect general and administrative expenses not specifically identifiable with, or allocable to, our business platforms are included in indirect corporate overhead. Indirect corporate overhead includes expenses associated with our administrative and support functions.

     The following tables illustrate each platform’s contribution for the periods indicated. The tables also illustrate the reconciliation of total contribution by platform to our consolidated net income (loss) for the periods indicated. Reconciling items generally include indirect corporate overhead and income taxes.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

     On July 22, 2002, Bay View Bank executed a definitive agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, pursuant to which U.S. Bank will purchase and assume Bay View Bank’s deposits, branches and branch and service center operations, as well as approximately $373.0 million of single family, home equity and commercial loans. The Company is guaranteeing all obligations of Bay View Bank under the agreement.

     At closing of the transaction, U.S. Bank will pay Bay View Bank the sum of: (i) a 14% deposit premium (based upon the average daily balances of deposits for the 30 calendar days ending on the business day prior to the closing date) plus $5.0 million, (ii) the principal amount of the loans being sold less a loan loss reserve of approximately $2.3 million, (iii) the net book value of real property and personal property utilized by the branches and improvements thereto and (iv) the face amount of coins and currency. Bay View Bank will pay to U.S. Bank at closing an amount equal to the deposits being assumed by U.S. Bank, net of the amounts payable by U.S. Bank to Bay View Bank as described in the preceding sentence. The amounts paid at closing will be subject to post-closing adjustments based upon a balance sheet as of the closing date prepared after closing by U.S. Bank and subject to Bay View Bank’s review and in the event of any breaches of the representations and warranties of Bay View Bank.

     Closing will occur on the first day of the next month following the date on which all conditions to closing are satisfied or waived. Conditions to U.S. Bank’s obligation to close include: (i) the continued accuracy of representations and warranties of Bay View Bank, as well as their compliance with their respective covenants, (ii) receipt of required approvals from federal banking regulatory agencies, (iii) approval by the Company’s stockholders of the agreement and the Company’s plan to convert the Company’s assets to cash and make distributions to stockholders, (iv) completion by Bay View Bank of additional asset sales, or otherwise securing financing, in order to fund U.S. Bank’s assumption of the deposits at closing, (v) there not having occurred any event or condition that would have a material adverse effect on Bay View Bank and (vi) delivery of specified opinions and third-party consents.

     Bay View Bank also executed a definitive agreement with U.S. Bank pursuant to which Bay View Bank will provide deposit operations, cash management and loan accounting services with respect to the loans being sold from the closing date until May 14, 2003, subject to possible extension until not later than July 31, 2003.

     On July 22, 2002, Bay View Bank also executed a definitive agreement with Washington Mutual Bank, FA pursuant to which Washington Mutual will purchase approximately $1.0 billion of multifamily and commercial real estate loans from Bay View Bank.

     At closing, Washington Mutual will pay to Bay View Bank the aggregate principal amount of the loans plus 25 basis points. Bay View Bank is also entitled to receive accrued interest for each loan from the date last paid through the closing date plus the amount of outstanding reimbursable advances as of the closing date. The purchase price will be reduced by any environmental insurance policy premium payable by Washington Mutual for environmental insurance coverage with respect to specified loans.

     The agreement with Washington Mutual provides that the entire amount of the purchase price will be paid at closing except for $25.0 million, which will be held back and accrue interest at the three-month certificate of deposit rate quoted by Washington Mutual on the closing date. This amount will be payable to Bay View Bank as follows: (i) $10.0 million on September 4, 2002; (ii) $5.0 million on October 3, 2002; (iii) $3.0 million on November 5, 2002 and (iv) $7.0 million on December 27, 2002. Each such payment is subject to the condition that

there then exists no payment default or material non-payment default by Bay View Bank under a related agreement between Washington Mutual and Bay View Bank pursuant to which Bay View Bank will provide servicing functions for the loans being sold from the closing date until an agreed upon date not later than 120 days subsequent to the closing date. A further condition to the final payment of $7.0 million is Bay View Bank’s compliance with its obligation to correct specified loan document deficiencies.

     On August 6, 2002, our Board of Directors approved a plan of dissolution and stockholder liquidity whereby in addition to the U.S. Bank and Washington Mutual transactions, we intend to sell our remaining assets in an orderly manner and to collect all additional monies owed to us. We will then pay or make adequate reserves for the payment of all of our liabilities and obligations, including all expenses related to the sale of our assets and the plan of dissolution and stockholder liquidity. Pursuant to our plan, we will make one or more liquidating distributions to our stockholders, representing the net proceeds of the dissolution.

     We expect to hold a special meeting of our stockholders to approve the purchase and assumption agreement with U.S. Bank and our plan of dissolution and stockholder liquidity.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Strategic Overview

     Bay View Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is a commercial bank holding company headquartered in San Mateo, California. Our principal subsidiary is Bay View Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) and its 57 full-service branch-banking network.

Our Mission and Strategy

     From 1996 to 1999, our strategy was to transform Bay View Bank from a traditional thrift to a commercial bank. During this period, we nearly doubled in size, replaced a majority of our mortgage-based loans with higher-yielding consumer and commercial loans and leases and transformed a significant portion of our deposits into lower-cost transaction accounts.

     In May 2001, we completed a rights offering and a concurrent offering to standby purchasers that generated aggregate gross proceeds of $137.5 million. With this additional capital, we implemented a new strategic plan that included exiting businesses inconsistent with a California-focused bank and included assumptions related to the liquidation of our remaining franchise-related assets and operations and our remaining high loan-to-value home equity loans. Our results for 2001 included specific charges consistent with our new strategic plan. The specific charges were primarily related to the stock sale of the legal entity Bay View Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company (“BVFMAC”) and its related servicing platform, the disposition of franchise-related assets, restructuring charges primarily related to the reduction in our workforce announced in May 2001 and prepayment penalties related to a reduction in higher-cost borrowings.

     As a result of the significant and successful turnaround actions undertaken and completed in 2001 under the strategic plan, the Company began active consideration of various alternatives to maximize its value to its stockholders and retained Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation to assist in that process. The Company initially considered a variety of transactions. However, through this evaluation process, determined that greater stockholder value could be obtained by adopting a plan of dissolution and selling selected assets of the Bank to more than one purchaser rather than by an alternative approach such as selling all of the Bank as a whole. We believe this fact is largely the result of the mismatch between the character of the Bank’s and our assets and liabilities, which resulted from strategies of prior management.

     On July 22, 2002, Bay View Bank executed a definitive agreement with U.S. Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, pursuant to which U.S. Bank will purchase Bay View Bank’s deposits, branches and branch and service center operations, as well as approximately $373.0 million of single family, home equity and commercial loans. Bay View Bank also executed a definitive agreement on the same date with Washington Mutual pursuant to which Washington Mutual will purchase approximately $1.0 billion of multifamily and commercial real estate loans from the Bank.

     On August 6, 2002, our Board of Directors approved a plan of dissolution and stockholder liquidity. Proposals to authorize this plan, and approve the U.S. Bank transaction, will be submitted to our stockholders as soon as practicable. Under the plan of dissolution and stockholder liquidity, we intend to sell our remaining assets in an orderly manner and to collect all additional monies owed to us. We will then pay or make adequate reserves for the payment of all of our liabilities and obligations, including all expenses related to the sale of our assets and the plan of dissolution and stockholder liquidity. Our board of directors, at its discretion, may also set aside a contingency reserve to pay any claims that may arise against us, whether known or unknown. We will make one or more liquidating distributions to our stockholders, representing the net proceeds of our asset sales. Any liquidating distributions will be made to our stockholders based on their pro rata ownership of our common stock as of the record date to be established for each distribution.

     It is not possible at this time to indicate an exact amount for the distributions we intend to make to our stockholders for a number of reasons, including: the need to obtain the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

25


Table of Contents

(“FRB”) and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) approval to make any distributions; possible negative post-closing purchase price adjustments pursuant to the Bank’s agreements with U.S. Bank and Washington Mutual; the amount of the Bank’s deposits during the period prior to the closing of the transaction with U.S. Bank transaction may be lower than we expect; the proceeds that we in fact receive from the disposition of other assets that are not yet subject to purchase commitments could be less than we currently anticipate; and our expenses and other obligations prior to liquidation could be greater than we currently anticipate. As a result, no assurance can be given as to the amount of the distributions that will be made to our stockholders.

     Although we need to take a number of actions to implement our plan of dissolution and stockholder liquidity, including obtaining the permission of the FRB and OCC to make stockholder distributions while the regulatory agreements remain in effect, we anticipate that a substantial portion of the distributions will be made to our stockholders during 2003.

Retail and Commercial Platforms

     We have historically operated two distinct business platforms representing the two basic distribution channels of our primary businesses, retail and commercial banking. The platform’s results include the income and expenses related to these business activities.

     Our Retail Platform includes single-family real estate loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, auto loans and leases, mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and other consumer banking products and services.

     The Retail Platform originates and purchases fixed-rate loans secured by new and used autos. In executing our strategy, we identify product niches which are not the primary focus of traditional competitors in the auto lending area, such as banks and captive finance companies. One such niche includes auto loans where a highly qualified borrower desires a higher relative loan amount and/or a longer term than is offered by other more traditional auto financing sources. In return for the flexibility of the products offered, we charge higher interest rates while still applying traditional underwriting criteria to mitigate potential loan losses.

     Our Commercial Platform includes multi-family and commercial real estate loans, franchise loans, asset-based loans, syndicated loans, factored receivables, commercial leases, and other business banking products and services. We also purchased and originated franchise loans until the restructuring of our franchise lending division, which was shut down in September 2000. Since this restructuring, we have significantly reduced our concentration of franchise assets.

Critical Accounting Policies

     We have identified the most critical accounting policies upon which our financial status depends. We determined the critical policies by considering accounting principles that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. We have identified our most critical accounting policies to be those related to the allowance for losses on loans and leases, investment in operating lease assets and income taxes. Descriptions of these accounting policies are found in both the notes to the consolidated financial statements and at relevant sections in this management’s discussion and analysis.

Results of Operations

     Our net loss for the second quarter of 2002 was $4.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, as compared to $95.4 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2001. Net income for the first six months of 2002 was $2.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $103.3 million, or $2.65 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2001. Our second quarter 2002 results include a special charge of $13.1 million related to the settlement of litigation.

     As previously reported in Bay View Capital Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 25, 2002, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank relating to the complaint filed against Bay View Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company which the Company sold during 2001. The settlement resulted in a $13.1 million pre-tax charge to second quarter earnings and included the removal of approximately $12 million of nonperforming franchise loans from our consolidated balance sheet.

     On June 5, 2002, we completed the sale of our San Mateo-based factoring business, Bay View Funding, to a group of investors led by the factoring company’s management team. Through this transaction, we converted approximately $6.5 million of goodwill to tangible equity.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

     Net interest income was $33.4 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $29.7 million for the second quarter of 2001. Net interest income for the first six months of 2002 was $66.6 million as compared to $62.2 million for the first six months of 2001. Net interest margin was 4.23% for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 2.83% for the second quarter of 2001. Net interest margin was 4.19% for the first six months of 2002 as compared to 2.88% for the first six months of 2001.

     The increases in net interest income for the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001, and for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the first six months of 2001, were primarily due to increases in net interest margin partially offset by decreases in average interest-earning assets. The increases in our net interest margin and net interest spread were due to lower overall cost of funds resulting from the lower cost of deposits, the lower borrowing levels and the prevailing lower interest rate environment. This was partially offset by lower yields on assets, which were also impacted by the lower interest rate environment, and sales of higher-yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities during 2001 and 2002. The decreases in average interest-earning assets were primarily due to asset sales, including franchise and home equity loans, factored receivables, mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities, as well as payoffs throughout 2001 and 2002.

     Our net interest margin, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excludes the revenue impact of our auto leasing activities, but includes the associated funding costs. Because our auto leases are accounted for as operating leases, the rental income and related expenses, including depreciation expense, are reflected in noninterest income and noninterest expense in accordance with GAAP. For a discussion of normalized net interest income and net interest margin, including the revenue impact of our auto leasing activities, see “Non-GAAP Performance Measures — Normalized Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin”.

     Net interest income and net interest margin by platform reflect our strategy to sell off our higher-risk assets, specifically high loan-to-value home equity loans and franchise loans. The increases in the Retail Platform’s net interest margin reflect the impact of lower overall cost of funds, as previously disclosed or as discussed elsewhere herein, partially offset by the sale of higher-yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities during 2001 and 2002. The increases in the Commercial Platform’s net interest margin were primarily due to lower cost of funds. For more detail, see discussion of “Interest Income” and “Interest Expense”.

     The decreases in the Retail Platform’s average interest-earning assets, which exclude our auto-related operating lease assets, reflect the impact of the sales of home equity loans during 2001 and the sale of mortgage-backed and other investment securities during 2001 and 2002 partially offset by purchases of mortgage-backed and investment securities as previously disclosed or as discussed elsewhere herein. The decreases in the Commercial Platform’s average interest-earning assets reflect the impact of the sales of franchise loans and factored receivables during 2001 and 2002 as well as the impact of the writedowns related to the revaluation of our franchise-related assets during 2001.

     The increase in the Retail Platform’s interest-earning assets, excluding our auto-related operating lease assets, at June 30, 2002, as compared to December 31, 2001, was primarily due to the redeployment of non interest-earning cash at December 31, 2001 into interest-earning short-term investments during the first quarter of 2002 combined with purchases of approximately $60.0 million of mortgage-backed securities and $54.9 million of other investment securities during the first six months of 2002. These were partially offset by the sale of $91.4 million of mortgage-backed securities during the same period. The decrease in the Commercial Platform’s interest-earning assets was primarily due to the sale of Bay View Funding and its factored receivables and the franchise loan sales and payoffs.

Average Balance Sheet

     The following tables illustrate average yields on our interest-earning assets and average rates on our interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. These average yields and rates were calculated by dividing interest income by the average balance of interest-earning assets and by dividing interest expense by the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, for the periods indicated. Average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities were calculated by averaging the relevant month-end amounts for the respective periods.

     The Retail Platform’s interest income on loans was $16.5 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $21.5 million for the second quarter of 2001. The Retail Platform’s interest income on loans was $33.4 million for the first six months of 2002 as compared to $43.9 million for the first six months of 2001. The Retail Platform’s average loan yield was 7.75% for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 8.59% for the second quarter of 2001. The Retail Platform’s average loan yield was 8.03% for the first six months of 2002 as compared to 8.72% for the first six months of 2001. The decreases in interest income on loans for the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001, and for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the first six months of 2001, were due to lower average loan balances, as previously discussed, combined with a decrease in the platform’s average loan yields due to the lower interest rate environment and sales of higher-yielding loans during 2001 and 2002.

     The Retail Platform’s interest income on mortgage-backed securities was $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $11.4 million for the second quarter of 2001.

The Retail Platform’s average yield on mortgage-backed securities was 4.85% for the first six months of 2002 as compared to 7.34% for the first six months of 2001. The decreases in interest income on mortgage-backed securities for the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001, and for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the first six months of 2001, were primarily due to lower average balances and yields. The average balances of our mortgage-backed securities have declined as purchases of mortgage-backed securities were more than offset by sales throughout 2001 and 2002. The average yields of our mortgage-backed securities decreased due to the continuing impact of the low interest rate environment and the sales of relatively higher-yielding fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, including GNMA securities, during 2001 and 2002.

     The Retail Platform’s interest income on investment securities, which consist primarily of short-term investments, trust preferred and asset-backed securities and our retained interests in auto loan securitizations, was $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2001. The Retail Platform’s interest income on investment securities was $7.2 million for the first six months of 2002 as compared to $16.2 million for the first six months of 2001.

The Retail Platform’s average yield on investment securities was 3.05% for the first six months of 2002 as compared to 5.53% for the first six months of 2001. The decreases in interest income on investments for the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001, and for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the first six months of 2001, were due to lower average yields resulting from the prevailing lower interest rate environment combined with lower average balances resulting from decreases in the average balances of our short-term investments partially offset by increases in asset-backed and trust preferred securities due to purchases throughout 2001 and 2002.

Commercial Platform

     Interest income for the Commercial Platform was $29.2 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $43.9 million for the second quarter of 2001.

quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001, and for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the first six months of 2001, were due to lower average loan and lease balances, resulting from the sales of franchise loans and factored receivables during 2001 and 2002 and the writedowns related to the revaluation of franchise loans during 2001, combined with decreases in average yields.

     The Commercial Platform’s interest income on investment securities, which consist of franchise asset-backed securities and residual interests in franchise loan securitizations, was $86 thousand for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $224 thousand for the second quarter of 2001. The Commercial Platform’s interest income on investment securities was $332 thousand for the first six months of 2002 as compared to $1.1 million for the first six months of 2001.

The Commercial Platform’s average yield on investment securities was 11.29% for the first six months of 2002 as compared to 13.77% for the first six months of 2001. The decreases in interest income on investment securities for the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001, and for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the first six months of 2001, were largely due to lower average balances resulting from writedowns related to the revaluation of residual interests in franchise loan securitizations during 2001.

Interest Expense

Deposits

     Interest expense on our deposits was $13.5 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $39.5 million for the second quarter of 2001. Interest expense on our deposits was $28.5 million for the first six months of 2002 as compared to $83.4 million for the first six months of 2001. The average cost of deposits was 1.79% for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 4.44% for the second quarter of 2001. The average cost of deposits was 1.87% for the first six months of 2002 as compared to 4.64% for the first six months of 2001.

     The decreases in interest expense on deposits for the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001, and for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the first six months of 2001, were due to lower cost of deposits and average deposit balances. The decreases in the cost of deposits were primarily a result of the lower interest rate environment, the continued change in our deposit mix and the repricing of higher-cost retail certificates of deposit at lower rates. The change in our deposit mix consisted of a decrease in time deposits and an increase in transaction accounts. Our transaction accounts, which are lower-cost deposits as opposed to retail certificates of deposits, increased to 60.6% of total deposits at June 30, 2002 from 53.2% at June 30, 2001. The decreases in average deposit balances were a result of the maturities of certificates of deposit, including brokered certificates of deposit which matured during 2001 and were not renewed, partially offset by the growth in our transaction accounts.

     The following tables summarize our deposit costs by type for the periods indicated:

Borrowings

     Interest expense on our borrowings was $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $14.9 million for the second quarter of 2001. Interest expense on our borrowings was $11.1 million for the first six months of 2002 as compared to $33.0 million for the first six months of 2001. The average cost of borrowings was 7.49% for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 6.76% for the second quarter of 2001. The average cost of borrowings was 7.73% for the first six months of 2002 as compared to 6.89% for the first six months of 2001. In accordance with GAAP, these amounts exclude the expense associated with our Capital Securities. The decreases in interest expense on borrowings for the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001, and for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the first six months of 2001, were primarily due to lower average balances partially offset by higher funding costs. The decreases in average balances were due to the paydown of borrowings, including warehouse lines, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, as we sold interest-bearing assets during 2001 and the first six months of 2002. The increases in borrowing costs were primarily attributable to changes in our borrowings mix.

     The following tables illustrate the changes in net interest income due to changes in the rate and volume of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001. Changes in rate and volume which cannot be segregated (e.g., changes in average interest rate multiplied by average portfolio balance) have been allocated proportionately between the change in rate and the change in volume.

Provision for Losses on Loans and Leases

     The provision for losses on loans and leases for the second quarter of 2002 was $3.6 million as compared to $52.4 million for the second quarter of 2001. The provision for losses on loans and leases for the first six months of 2002 was $8.5 million as compared to $59.7 million for the first six months of 2001. The decreases in the provision for losses on loans and leases, as compared to the respective prior periods, were primarily due to the $52.1 million in reserve reductions, recorded during the second quarter of 2001, related to the mark-to-market adjustments on loans transferred from held-for-investment to held-for-sale during the quarter. Additionally, the year-to-date 2002 provision for the Retail Platform reflects a true-up of the indicated reserves within each platform which was impacted by the $2.6 million recovery on the sale of charged-off high loan-to-value home equity loans during the fourth quarter of 2001.

Noninterest Income

     Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2002 was $25.4 million as compared to $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2001. Noninterest income for the first six months of 2002 was $51.6 million as compared to $50.2 million for the first six months of 2001. Excluding net gains or losses on sales of assets and liabilities, noninterest income for the second quarter and the first six months of 2002 were $25.2 million and $51.0 million, respectively, as compared to $30.8 million and $62.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2001, respectively. The decreases in noninterest income, excluding net gains or losses on sales of assets and liabilities, were largely due to lower auto leasing income in the Retail Platform and lower loan servicing income in the Commercial Platform. The Commercial Platform’s loan

     Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2002 included net gains on sales of assets totaling $0.2 million consisting primarily of a $0.8 million gain on the sale of mortgage-backed securities within the Retail Platform offset by a $0.4 million loss on the sale of Bay View Funding and $0.2 million loss on the sale of franchise loans within the Commercial Platform. Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2002 included net gains on sales of assets totaling $0.3 million consisting primarily of a $0.4 million gain on the sale of mortgage-backed securities within the Retail Platform offset by a $0.1 million loss on the sale of a franchise-related asset within the Commercial Platform.

     Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2001 included losses on sales of assets totaling $22.7 million, consisting of net losses of $23.9 million within the Commercial Platform partially offset by net gains of $1.2 million within the Retail Platform. The loss within the Commercial Platform was largely due to the $22.9 million loss on the sale of BVFMAC. The gain within the Retail Platform was primarily due to the $11.9 million gain on the sale of GNMA mortgage-backed securities offset by the $11.0 million loss on the sale of home equity loans. Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2001 included $10.1 million of contingent gains received during the first quarter of 2001 related to December 2000 asset sales, consisting of $6.5 million within the Commercial Platform and $3.6 million within the Retail Platform.

Noninterest Expense

General and Administrative Expenses

     General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2002 were $30.5 million as compared to $44.7 million for the second quarter of 2001. General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2002 were $61.3 million as compared to $80.1 million for the first six months of 2001. Excluding special mention items, as discussed below, the decreases in general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001, and for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the first six months of 2001, were primarily due to the elimination of BVFMAC servicing platform expenses with the sale of the legal entity BVFMAC during 2001, the elimination of Bay View Funding expenses with the sale of our San Mateo-based factoring division effective June 2002 as well as certain cost-savings we continue to realize from our ongoing restructuring initiated in 2001.

     Special mention items generally include items recognized during the period that we believe are significant and/or unusual in nature and therefore useful to you in evaluating our performance and trends. These items may or may not be

nonrecurring in nature. There were no special mention items included in general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2002.

     General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2001 included $8.7 million in special mention items primarily consisting of $2.6 million related to the Company’s issuance of stock options during the quarter with below market prices, $2.4 million related to the prepayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and $2.4 million in legal and professional fees related to the implementation of a new strategic plan. There were no special mention items included in general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2001.

     Another measure that management uses to monitor our level of general and administrative expenses is the efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing the amount of general and administrative expenses by operating revenues, defined as net interest income, as adjusted to include expenses associated with our Capital Securities, the excess of our leasing-related rental income over leasing-related depreciation expense, and other noninterest income. This ratio reflects the level of general and administrative expenses required to generate $1 of operating revenue.

Revaluation of Franchise-Related Assets

     There was no revaluation of franchise-related assets during the first six months of 2002. The revaluation of certain franchise-related assets resulted in a $70.0 million pre-tax adjustment for the first six months of 2001. The revaluation included a $31.7 million adjustment related to the sale of loans as well as writedowns to other franchise-related assets. The writedowns included $15.5 million in adjustments to servicing assets, $11.1 million in adjustments to residual interests on securitizations, reflecting increasing delinquencies and loss assumptions, and $5.0 million in adjustments to equity investments.

Investment in Operating Lease Assets

     Leasing expense represents expenses related to our auto leasing activities. Because the leases are accounted for as operating leases, the corresponding assets are capitalized and depreciated to their estimated residual values over their lease terms. This depreciation expense is included in leasing expenses, along with the amortization of capitalized initial direct lease costs and impairment charges. Leasing expenses for the second quarter of 2002 were $16.1 million as compared to $27.3 million for the second quarter of 2001. Leasing expenses were $31.1 million for the first six months of 2002 as compared to $45.0 million for the first six months of 2001. The decreases in leasing expenses, as compared to respective prior periods, were primarily due to lower provision for impairment combined with lower depreciation expense associated with the declining balance of our auto-related operating lease portfolio. These were partially offset by a $1.5 million payment made to Lendco Financial Services related to certain residual and credit incentives pursuant to our purchase contract with Lendco. We ceased purchasing auto leases in June 2000. Leasing expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 included $10.0 million of additional provision for impairment primarily as a result of revising the estimated residual values associated with the auto lease portfolio.

     The Company performs a quarterly impairment analysis of its automobile operating lease portfolio in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which we adopted effective January 1, 2002. Statement No. 144, which supersedes Statement No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,” retains the fundamental provisions of Statement No. 121 related to the recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and the measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. There was no financial statement impact upon adoption of Statement No. 144. A lease is considered impaired if its gross future undiscounted cash flows are less than the net book value of the lease. The net book value of the lease is defined as the original capitalized cost of the automobile, including initial direct capitalized costs, less the cumulative amount of depreciation recorded against the automobile and the cumulative amount of amortization of the initial direct capitalized costs recorded since the inception of the lease and less any impairment charges recorded-to-date on that lease.

     In determining gross future undiscounted cash flows, the Company contracts with Automotive Lease Guide, commonly referred to as ALG, to provide estimates of the residual value of the underlying automobiles at the end of their lease terms assuming that the vehicles are in average condition. The Company then estimates the probability that i.) the automobiles will be purchased by the lessee prior to the end of the lease term, ii.) the automobile will be purchased by the lessee at the end of the lease term, either at a discount or at the full contractual residual amount, or iii.) the automobile will be returned to the lessor at the end of the lease term. These probabilities are estimated using a number of factors, including the Company’s experience-to-date and industry experience.

     Using the projected ALG residual values, the Company’s experience-to-date relative to the projected ALG residual values (for example, for vehicle classes where actual amounts realized were less than what ALG had projected, the Company reduced the projected ALG residual values to equal the Company’s experience-to-date), and the probabilities of each of the three disposition scenarios discussed above occurring, the Company determined a probability-weighted gross future undiscounted cash flow for each automobile lease. For those leases where the gross future undiscounted cash flows were less than net book value, the lease was considered impaired.

     For those leases considered impaired, the Company then estimated the fair value of the lease. The fair value was determined by calculating the present value of the future estimated cash flows again assuming the probabilities of each of the three disposition scenarios. The present value was calculated using current market rates which are similar to the original contract lease rate. For those impaired leases where the estimated fair value was less than the net book value, an impairment charge was recorded for the difference. Since the inception of the lease portfolio in June 1998, the Company has recorded additional monthly depreciation charges, also included in leasing expense, to provide for losses that may be incurred at the end of the lease terms. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company had net impairment and additional monthly charges against its automobile operating leases outstanding on those dates of $31.2 million and $32.7 million, respectively.

40


Table of Contents

     Significant assumptions underlying the automobile lease impairment analysis that are susceptible to possible change in the near term include the projected ALG residual values and the estimated probabilities of each of the three disposition scenarios. For example, if ALG projected residual values decline by $250 for each vehicle, approximately 1,772 additional vehicles of its 14,986 vehicles would be considered impaired at June 30, 2002 and therefore subject to a possible impairment charge. At June 30, 2002, a total of 7,541 vehicles were considered impaired. Further, if the aggregate number of lessees that return their vehicle to the Company at the end of the lease term is higher than currently projected, the number of impaired vehicles could be higher as the amount realized under this scenario is generally less than if the lessee purchases their automobile prior to the end of the lease term, either at a discount or at the full contractual residual amount.

Capital Securities

     On December 21, 1998, we issued $90 million in Capital Securities through Bay View Capital I, a business trust formed to issue the securities. The Capital Securities, which were sold in an underwritten public offering, accrue quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 9.76% of the liquidation value of $25 per share. Dividend expense on the Capital Securities was $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2001. Dividend expense on the Capital Securities was $5.2 million for the first six months of 2002 as compared to $4.6 million for the first six months of 2001.

     In September of 2000, we entered into an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank which requires that we obtain their approval prior to disbursing any dividends associated with our Capital Securities. Beginning with the third quarter of 2000, we have not received approval to disburse the quarterly dividends. As a result, pursuant to the terms of the Capital Securities, we have deferred distributions until such time as approval can be obtained. We fully intend to continue to seek such approval; however, we cannot predict when approval may be obtained. During this deferral period, distributions to which holders are entitled will continue to accrue at an annual rate of 9.76% of the liquidation amount of $25 per Capital Security, plus accumulated additional distributions at the same rate, compounded quarterly, on any unpaid distributions (to the extent permitted by law). Holders of the Capital Securities at the time the distribution of dividends is resumed will receive the cumulative deferred distributions plus the cumulative interest thereon. Deferred dividends and interest, which were fully accrued, were $19.2 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $14.1 million at December 31, 2001.

Real Estate Owned

     The net expense related to our real estate owned was $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $9,000 for the second quarter of 2001. Net expense related to our real estate owned was $0.9 million for the first six months of 2002 as compared to net income of $9,000 for the first six months of 2001. Additionally, we recorded $204,000 of provision for losses on real estate owned during the first quarter of 2002. The increases in expenses and provision related to real estate owned, as compared to the respective prior periods, were primarily due to increases in real estate owned activity, primarily representing foreclosed franchise properties.

Income Taxes

     The Company recorded tax benefits of $3.7 million and $5.6 million for the second quarter and the first six months of 2002, respectively. The tax benefit for the first six months of 2002 included a tax benefit of $1.6 million on a pre-tax loss of $2.8 million and a tax benefit of $4.0 million related to the loss incurred on the 2001 stock sale by Bay View Bank of the legal entity Bay View Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company. The Company recorded no tax benefit for this loss in its 2001 financial statements. The $4.0 million tax benefit was a result of a change in federal tax regulation that occurred in the first quarter of 2002 allowing the Company to deduct a portion of the loss associated with the sale of BVFMAC. The effective tax rate used in computing the $1.6 million tax benefit for the first six months of 2002 was 57.7%. This effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the realization of nondeductible goodwill upon the anticipated execution of the Company’s tax planning strategy in the second half of the year. For the second

41


Table of Contents

quarter and the first six months of 2001, the Company recorded a $59.5 million tax benefit at a 36.5% effective tax rate. For the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded no tax benefit on the pre-tax loss of $8.0 million because, at that time, management could not determine that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize benefits in the amount of these additional deferred tax assets.

     The Company believes it will be able to fully utilize its $178.7 million of net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2002. In order to fully utilize its net operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration dates, however, the Company will be required to execute certain tax planning strategies identified in 2001, primarily the sale of a portion of the Bank’s retail branches, as discussed elsewhere herein, during the second half of 2002.

     During 2000, the Company recorded a $26.0 million valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets primarily relating to approximately $48.6 million in federal net operating loss carryforwards that were expiring in 2001 as the Company did not expect to be able to fully utilize these amounts prior to their expiration date. In May 2001, the Company raised $137.5 million of additional capital which enabled the Company to implement a new strategic plan, including the disposition of non-core and higher-risk assets. As a result of these actions, the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income is more predictable. During 2001, the Company also executed certain transactions that resulted in significant amounts of taxable income. These transactions included the sale of the BVFMAC legal entity which generated significant taxable income related to previously deferred gains in the franchise securitization trusts. The Company also executed a financing secured by the contractual cash flows of our auto operating lease portfolio that was treated as a sale for income tax purposes and generated $136.5 million in taxable income. Primarily as a result of these transactions, the Company generated sufficient taxable income during the year to be able to utilize the majority of its net operating loss carryforwards expiring in 2001. As a result, the Company eliminated the $26.0 million valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets during 2001. In addition, the Company identified tax planning strategies which included the sale of certain assets obtained in connection with a previous purchase business combination with significant built-in gains for tax purposes which would be triggered in the event of a sale. Such a transaction would not only generate significant levels of taxable income, but would also increase the limitation on the utilization of the net operating loss carryforward acquired in connection with a previous purchase business combination.

     There are significant assumptions underlying the valuation of the Company’s net deferred tax assets that are susceptible to possible change in the near term. In the event the Company cannot implement the tax planning strategies contemplated above, the Company may not be able to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration date. In addition, in the event the Company does not generate sufficient levels of future taxable income, the Company may not be able to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards prior to their expiration date or may not be able to realize other net deferred tax assets related to timing difference between reported financial statement income (loss) and taxable income (loss). If the Company determines in the future that it cannot fully utilize its net deferred tax assets, it would be required to establish a valuation allowance against that portion of its net deferred tax assets estimated not to be realizable.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

     The following measures of normalized net interest income and normalized net interest margin are not measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. These measures should not be considered alternatives to net interest income and net interest margin as indicators of our operating performance. These measures are included because we believe they are useful tools to assist you in assessing our performance and trends. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Normalized Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

     Normalized net interest income and net interest margin include net rental income from our auto leasing activities (that is, the excess of rental income over depreciation expense and impairment charges on auto-related lease assets), which are principally funded by our deposits, and also include expenses related to our Capital Securities. Because our auto leases are accounted for as operating leases, the rental income is reflected as noninterest income and the related

42


Table of Contents

expenses, including depreciation expense and impairment charges, are reflected as noninterest expenses, in accordance with GAAP.

     Normalized net interest income for second quarter of 2002 was $37.9 million as compared to $36.5 million for the second quarter of 2001. Normalized net interest income for the first six months of 2002 was $76.1 million as compared to $76.0 million for the first six months of 2001. Normalized net interest margin for the second quarter of 2002 was 4.35% as compared to 3.13% for the second quarter of 2001. Normalized net interest margin for the first six months of 2002 was 4.33% as compared to 3.17% for the first six months of 2001.

     The increases in normalized net interest income for the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001, and for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the first six months of 2001, were largely due to higher normalized net interest margin partially offset by lower average interest-earning asset balances. The increases in normalized net interest margin continue to be attributable to lower overall funding costs, including lower deposit costs and funding costs associated with the declining balance of our auto-related operating lease assets, partially offset by lower asset yields. The decreases in average interest-earning assets were primarily due to asset sales and payoffs throughout 2001 and 2002, as previously discussed, combined with the declining balance of our auto-related operating lease assets.

     The decreases in the Retail Platform’s average interest-earning assets, including our auto-related operating lease assets, reflects the impact of the sales of loans, mortgage-backed and other investment securities during 2001 and 2002 as well as the declining balance of our auto-related operating lease assets, as previously disclosed or discussed elsewhere herein. The decreases in the Commercial Platform’s average interest-earning assets reflects franchise loan and factored receivables sales during 2001 and 2002 as well as the impact of the writedowns related to the revaluation of our franchise-related assets during 2001.

     The increase in the Retail Platform’s interest-earning assets, including our auto-related operating lease assets, at June 30, 2002, as compared to December 31, 2001, was primarily due to the redeployment of non interest-earning cash at December 31, 2001 into interest-earning short-term investments during the first quarter of 2002 combined with purchases of investment securities during the first six months of 2002. These were partially offset by the sale of our mortgage-backed securities and the declining balance of our auto-related operating lease assets, as previously discussed. The decrease in the Commercial Platform’s interest-earning assets was primarily due to the sale of Bay View Funding and its factored receivables and the franchise loan sales and payoffs.

Balance Sheet Analysis

     Our total assets were $3.8 billion at June 30, 2002, as compared to $4.0 billion at December 31, 2001. The slight decrease in total assets was primarily due to a decline in cash and short-term investments, resulting from our strategy to reduce higher-cost certificates of deposit, loan sales and paydowns, sales of investment securities and the run-off of our operating lease assets. These were partially offset by loan originations and purchases of investment securities during the first six months of 2002.

     Our securities activities are primarily conducted by Bay View Bank. Bay View Bank has historically purchased securities to supplement our loan production. The majority of the securities purchased are high-quality mortgage-backed securities, including securities issued by GNMA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and senior tranches of private issue collateralized mortgage obligations, or CMOs. In addition to these securities, we also hold retained interests in loan and lease securitizations and hold investment securities such as U.S. government agency notes, trust preferred and asset-backed securities.

     During 2001, we transferred our remaining held-to-maturity securities totaling $631.7 million to available-for-sale. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” we recorded $1.5 million of unrealized losses related to the transfer. As a result of the transfer and subsequent sales of securities from our held-to-maturity portfolio, we do not intend to hold any securities as held-to-maturity in the foreseeable future.

     We sold $91.4 million of mortgage-backed securities during the first six months of 2002. Gross gains of $1.2 million were realized on the sales. The sales were offset by purchases of $60.0 million of mortgage-backed securities and $54.9 of asset-backed securities during the first six months of 2002.

     Mortgage-backed securities pose risks not associated with fixed maturity bonds, primarily related to the ability of the borrower to prepay the underlying loan with or without penalty. This risk, known as prepayment risk, may cause the mortgage-backed securities to remain outstanding for a period of time different than that assumed at the time of purchase. When interest rates decline, prepayments generally tend to increase, causing the average expected remaining maturity of

the mortgage-backed securities to decline. Conversely, if interest rates rise, prepayments tend to decrease, lengthening the average expected remaining maturity of the mortgage-backed securities.

(2)   Includes loans with an unpaid principal balance of $37.3 million at June 30, 2002 and $48.5 million at December 31, 2001.

     The decrease in loans and leases receivable at June 30, 2002, as compared to December 31, 2001, was primarily due to the sale of $25.3 million in factored receivables related to the sale of Bay View Funding, the sale of $6.7 million in franchise loans, the June settlement agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank which resulted in the removal of approximately $12 million in nonaccruing franchise loans from our consolidated balance sheet and loan payoffs during the first six months of 2002. These were offset by strong multi-family mortgage and consumer loan originations.

     Our exposure to higher-risk franchise assets was further reduced during the quarter as the unpaid principal balance of our franchise loan portfolio decreased to $125 million at June 30, 2002 from $174 million at December 31, 2001. Net of mark-to-market valuation adjustments, the net book value of our franchise loan portfolio was $113.5 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $160.1 million at December 31, 2001. Loans held-for-sale totaled $30.5 million as of June 30, 2002, all of which represented franchise loans held-for-sale.

Credit Quality

     We define nonperforming assets as nonaccrual loans and leases, real estate owned, defaulted mortgage-backed securities and other repossessed assets. We define nonaccrual loans and leases as loans and leases 90 days or more delinquent as to principal and interest payments (unless the principal and interest are well secured and in the process of collection) and loans and leases less than 90 days delinquent designated as nonperforming when we determine that the full collection of principal and/or interest is doubtful. We generally do not record interest on nonaccrual loans and leases.

     The following table illustrates our nonperforming assets as of the dates indicated:

     The decrease in total nonperforming assets at June 30, 2002, as compared to December 31, 2001, was primarily due to the removal of the $12 million in nonperforming franchise loans related to the JP Morgan Chase settlement, the sale of approximately $1.8 million in franchise real estate owned and a decrease in nonaccruing franchise loans. Nonperforming

assets excluding franchise-related assets were $25.1 million at June 30, 2002, as compared to $20.2 million at December 31, 2001, while non-franchise nonaccrual loans and leases were $26.6 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $17.5 million at December 31, 2001.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL)

     Credit risk and potential loss are inherent in the lending process. The purpose of the ALLL is to absorb losses that are probable and estimable in our loan and lease portfolio. The ALLL is augmented through charges to earnings called provisions. Known losses are charged to the ALLL. Management seeks to reduce credit risk and therefore potential loss by administering established lending policies and underwriting procedures combined with continuous monitoring of the portfolio.

     The adequacy of the ALLL is formally evaluated on a quarterly basis. As discussed in more detail below, specific credits and the portfolio in general are evaluated by several methods incorporating historical performance, collateral protection, cash flow and analysis of current economic conditions. This evaluation culminates with a judgment on the probability of collection based on existing and probable near-term events. The underwriting of new credits may be changed or modified depending on the results of these on-going evaluations. Discontinued lending operations receive the same scrutiny as on-going operations but do not have the additional risk inherent in accepting new business.

48


Table of Contents

     After the quarterly evaluations are completed and the various requirements are tabulated, any deficiency is covered through provisions to the ALLL. Through the budget process, these provisions are estimated for the entire year and adjusted after the quarterly evaluations if necessary. This entire process of evaluating the adequacy of the ALLL is subjective and judgmental. In accordance with our methodology, this process consists of three major components as described below:

1.    Allowance for loans and leases that are individually evaluated. These loans and leases are generally larger commercial or income-producing real estate loans or leases that are evaluated on an individual basis at least quarterly in accordance with our internal grading processes and smaller homogeneous loans that have been adversely graded. Loans adversely graded receive a specific allowance allocation predicated on the individual analysis using the various techniques mentioned above. Pass credits within each loan category receive a general allowance component consistent with the evaluation of the factors within that portfolio. Loans considered impaired receive further testing as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” and any resulting permanent impairment is charged off to the ALLL. These grades and the specific allowance allocations are routinely reviewed for accuracy through an independent review process and by the bank’s regulatory agencies.
 
2.    Allowance for groups of homogeneous loans and leases that currently exhibit no identifiable weaknesses and are collectively evaluated. The smaller balance homogeneous loans and leases generally consist of single-family mortgage loans and consumer loans, including auto loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and unsecured personal loans. The larger loans and leases generally consist of commercial or income-producing real estate loans and leases that are grouped into pools with common characteristics. An allowance factor is derived that is an estimate of the probable losses that are inherent in these pools. These factors are based primarily on the historical loss experience tracked over various time periods up to three years with specific attention given to recent trend analysis. Other factors including delinquency, adverse classification trends, and industry experience are also evaluated. The resulting allowance is the sum of the allocations in each category.
 
3.    Unallocated Allowance. The third component is to absorb losses not provided for by the other two components. Other factors come into play that may have an impact on loan losses. These include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions in areas where we loan money, increased risk in lending into new areas with new products, and timing difference between the receipt and evaluation of loan data. Another important risk that this component takes into consideration is the general level of imprecision involved with any ALLL analysis process. The first two components are driven primarily by historical factors and evaluation of existing and near-term events. While these components are believed to be adequate under existing conditions, they remain subjective and judgmental. The unallocated portion of the ALLL is management’s best efforts to ensure that the overall allowance appropriately reflects the probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio.

     The allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2002 was $38.9 million as compared to $49.8 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in the allowance for losses on loans and leases was primarily related to net charge-offs in excess of loan loss provision expense during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002.

     The allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2002 represents 1.67% of gross loans and leases held-for-investment. Within this allowance, $10.7 million is specifically allocated to the total franchise portfolio and represents 12.86% of that portfolio. As such, this particular segment of our total loan portfolio, while relatively small, contains the most exposure to potential credit loss. This is a discontinued lending operation and the size of this portfolio declined significantly since December 31, 2000. The balance of the allowance of $28.2 million, including $2.7 million of unallocated reserves, represents 1.26% of the remaining loan portfolio. In addition, within the held-for-investment portfolio of franchise loans is another $4.3 million of mark-to-market valuation adjustments on loans transferred from held-for-sale to held-for-investment which is available to absorb losses on these loans.

Table of Contents

     The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level that we believe is appropriate based on our estimate of probable losses in the portfolio of loans and leases held-for-investment. This assessment is based on many factors including prevailing economic conditions, identified losses within the portfolio, historical loss experience, asset concentrations, levels and trends in classified assets, loan and lease delinquencies and industry data.

     The following table illustrates the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of nonperforming assets and gross loans and leases, excluding loans and leases held-for-sale:

     During 2001 and the first six months of 2002, the allowance for loan and lease losses decreased as we transferred and subsequently sold loans from our held-for-investment portfolio to our held-for-sale portfolio. During 2001, the transfer of loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale resulted in a $53.6 million reduction to the allowance for loan and

lease losses related to mark-to-market adjustments on these loans, consisting of $48.8 million in net reductions related to the sale of franchise loans and $4.8 million related to home equity loans. During the first six months of 2002, the transfer of loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale resulted in a $1.8 million reduction in the allowance for loan and lease losses related to the sale and payoff of franchise and other commercial loans.

Borrowings

     In addition to deposits, we have historically utilized collateralized advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and other borrowings, such as subordinated debt, capital securities, warehouse lines, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, on a collateralized and noncollateralized basis, for various purposes including the funding of loans, leases and securities as well as to support the execution of our business strategies.

     During 2001, we significantly reduced our borrowings as part of our strategic plan, completely eliminating short-term borrowings including collateralized advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, warehouse lines and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. At June 30, 2002, our remaining borrowings include subordinated debt, capital securities and other borrowings related to the financing secured by our auto lease contractual cash flows during the fourth quarter of 2001.

Liquidity

     The objective of our liquidity management program is to ensure that funds are available in a timely manner to meet loan demand and depositors’ needs, and to service other liabilities as they come due, without causing an undue amount of cost or risk, and without causing a disruption to normal operating conditions.

     We regularly assess the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements through a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, and existing and planned business activities. Our Risk Management Committee provides oversight to the liquidity management process and recommends policy guidelines, subject to Board of Directors’ approval, and courses of action to address our actual and projected liquidity needs.

     The ability to attract a stable, low-cost base of deposits is a significant source of liquidity. Other sources of liquidity available to us include short-term borrowings, which consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowing arrangements. Our liquidity requirements can also be met through the use of our portfolio of liquid assets. Liquid assets, as defined by us, include cash and cash equivalents in excess of the minimum levels necessary to carry out normal business operations, federal funds sold, commercial paper and other short-term investments.

     On September 6, 2000, Bay View Bank entered into an agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. This agreement states that Bay View Bank may not declare or distribute any dividends without prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

     On September 29, 2000, Bay View Capital Corporation entered into an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. In addition to requiring prior approval to pay common stock dividends, the agreement requires us to obtain prior approval to disburse dividends associated with our 9.76% Capital Securities. We have not received approval to disburse the quarterly dividend since the third quarter of 2000. Pursuant to the terms of the Capital Securities, we have deferred distributions on the debentures. During this deferral period, distributions to which holders are entitled will continue to accrue at an annual rate of 9.76% of the liquidation amount of $25 per Capital Security, plus accumulated additional distributions at the same rate, compounded quarterly, on any unpaid distributions (to the extent permitted by law). We fully intend to continue to seek approval to distribute the dividend at the earliest available opportunity as the interest on these unpaid dividends is one of our highest borrowing costs.

     At June 30, 2002, we had liquidity levels with cash and cash equivalents in excess of $463 million, representing approximately 15% of total deposits.

     To assist you in analyzing our liquidity, you should review our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows at Item 1. “Financial Statements.”

Capital Resources

     Management seeks to maintain adequate capital to support anticipated credit risks and to ensure that Bay View Capital Corporation and Bay View Bank are in compliance with all regulatory capital guidelines. Stockholders’ equity totaled $342.1 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $336.2 million at December 31, 2001. This increase was largely due to our earnings during the first six months of 2002. Tangible stockholders’ equity, which excludes intangible assets, was $225.6 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $212.6 million at December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to earnings for the first six months of 2002 and the conversion of $6.5 million of goodwill to tangible equity related to the sale of Bay View Funding.

     Intangible assets generated from our acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting are deducted from stockholders’ equity in the above calculation to arrive at tangible stockholders’ equity. Conversely, the amortization of intangible assets increases tangible stockholders’ equity as well as Bay View Capital Corporation’s and Bay View Bank’s Tier 1 regulatory capital.

     Bay View Bank is subject to various regulatory capital guidelines administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Under these capital guidelines, the minimum total risk-based capital ratio and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio requirements are 8.00% and 4.00%, respectively, of risk-weighted assets and certain off-balance sheet items. The minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio requirement is 4.00% of quarterly average assets, as adjusted.

     Additionally, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 defines five capital tiers: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, depending upon the capital level of the institution. Each federal banking agency, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, is required to implement prompt corrective actions for undercapitalized institutions that it regulates.

     Bay View Bank’s regulatory capital levels at June 30, 2002 exceeded both the requirements necessary to be considered adequately capitalized as well as the requirements necessary to be considered well-capitalized as illustrated in the following table:

     Similarly, Bay View Capital Corporation is subject to various regulatory capital guidelines administered by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. The capital guidelines provide definitions of regulatory capital ratios and the methods of calculating capital and each ratio for bank holding companies. The federal banking agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets of 4%. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal banking regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital to total average assets, referred to as the leverage ratio. For a banking organization rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate banking organizations, the minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total average assets is 3%. For organizations not rated in the highest of the five categories, the regulations advise an additional “cushion” of at least 100 basis points. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios.

     At June 30, 2002, Bay View Capital Corporation’s regulatory capital levels exceeded the requirements necessary to be considered adequately capitalized as illustrated in the following table:

Share Repurchase Program

     Our outstanding shares of common stock were 62,697,831 at June 30, 2002 and 62,579,129 at December 31, 2001. In August 1998, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million in shares of our common stock. We repurchased 460,000 shares of our common stock during 1999. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during 2000, 2001 and the first six months of 2002. In November 1999, all of our treasury shares were reissued in conjunction with the acquisition of FMAC. At June 30, 2002, we had approximately $17.6 million in remaining authorization available for future share repurchases. Pursuant to our agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, we must obtain prior written approval before repurchasing shares.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Asset and Liability Management

     The objective of our asset and liability management activities is to improve our earnings by adjusting the type and mix of assets and liabilities to effectively address changing conditions and risks. Through overall management of our balance sheet and by controlling various risks, we seek to optimize our financial returns within safe and sound parameters. Our operating strategies for attaining this objective include managing net interest margin through appropriate risk/return pricing of assets and liabilities and emphasizing growth in retail deposits, as a percentage of interest-bearing liabilities, to reduce our cost of funds. Our strategy includes originating and purchasing quality assets with higher risk-adjusted yields and selling assets with lower risk-adjusted yields or repricing characteristics that do not meet our objectives for interest rate risk. We also seek to improve earnings by controlling noninterest expense, enhancing noninterest income and utilizing improved information systems to facilitate our analysis of the profitability of our business platforms. We also use risk management instruments to modify interest rate characteristics of certain assets or liabilities to hedge against our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, reducing the effects these fluctuations might have on associated cash flows or values. These risk management instruments, also referred to as derivative instruments, have historically included interest rate exchange agreements, or “swaps”, Treasury futures contracts, forward sales contracts and interest rate option contracts, commonly referred to as “caps”. Derivative financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk. Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because other parties to the financial instrument fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. Finally, we perform internal analyses to measure, evaluate and monitor risk.

Interest Rate Risk

     Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk impacting the Company. Interest rate risk occurs when interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities do not reprice simultaneously and in equal volumes. A key objective of asset and liability management is to manage interest rate risk associated with changing asset and liability cash flows and values and market interest rate movements. Our Risk Management Committee provides oversight to our interest rate risk management process and recommends policy guidelines regarding exposure to interest rates for approval by our Board of Directors. Adherence to these policies is monitored on an ongoing basis, and decisions related to the management of interest rate exposure are made when appropriate in accordance with our policies.

     Financial institutions are subject to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature on a different basis and at different times than interest-earning assets. Our strategy has been to reduce the sensitivity of our earnings to interest rate fluctuations by more closely matching the effective maturities or repricing characteristics of our assets and liabilities. Certain assets and liabilities, however, may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Further, interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate prior to changes in market interest rates, while rates on other types may lag behind. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have features, including payment and rate caps, which restrict changes in their interest rates. We consider the anticipated effects of these factors when implementing our interest rate risk management objectives.

Caps

     Interest rate caps are option contracts that limit the cap holder’s risk associated with an increase in interest rates. If rates go above a specified interest rate (strike price or cap rate), the cap holder is entitled to receive cash payments equal to the excess of the market rate over the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. We had interest rate caps with notional amounts of $100.0 million at June 30, 2002 and $180.0 million at December 31, 2001. Our interest rate caps had cap rates at 7.00% and a cap index based on either the one- or three-month LIBOR rate. These caps are reported at their fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses charged to earnings when incurred. We have not prescribed any value to our interest rate caps at June 30, 2002. The fair value of our interest rate caps was $5,000 at December 31, 2001.

     Other types of market risk also affect us in the normal course of our business activities. The impact on us resulting from other market risks is deemed immaterial and no separate disclosure of quantitative information related to such market risks is deemed necessary. We do not maintain a portfolio of trading securities and do not intend to engage in such activities in the foreseeable future.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

     Our monitoring activities related to managing interest rate risk include both interest rate sensitivity “gap” analysis and the use of a simulation model. While traditional gap analysis provides a simple picture of the interest rate risk embedded in the balance sheet, it provides only a static view of interest rate sensitivity at a specific point in time and does not measure the potential volatility in forecasted results relating to changes in market interest rates over time. Accordingly, we combine the use of gap analysis with the use of a simulation model which provides a dynamic assessment of interest rate sensitivity.

     The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets anticipated to reprice within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities anticipated to reprice within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets repricing within a specific time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing within that same time period. Positive cumulative gaps suggest that earnings will increase when interest rates rise. Negative cumulative gaps suggest that earnings will increase when interest rates fall.

     The simulation model discussed above also provides our Risk Management Committee with the ability to simulate our net interest income. In order to measure, at June 30, 2002, the sensitivity of our forecasted net interest income to changing interest rates, both a rising and falling interest rate scenario were projected and compared to a base market interest rate forecast derived from the current treasury yield curve. For the rising and falling interest rate scenarios, the base market interest rate forecast was increased, on an instantaneous and sustained basis, by 100 to 300 basis points and decreased by 100 and 200 basis points. At June 30, 2002, our net interest income was within our policy guidelines given a hypothetical increase in market interest rates, while falling outside our policy guidelines given a hypothetical decrease in market rates. Actions taken by the Federal Reserve to lower the fed funds rate during the past year have reduced market interest rates to unusually low levels, and allowed us to reduce rates paid on our deposits to below 2% and, for certain transaction accounts, below 1%. From these interest rate levels, further hypothetical decreases in market interest rates continue to reduce yields on our interest-earning assets, while further declines in the cost of our deposits are limited by their very low existing rates. This causes our net interest income to decline more rapidly under the hypothetical decreases in market interest rates. The following table illustrates the sensitivity of our net income relative to the hypothetical changes to the market rates:

                                                         
    Net Interest Income
   
Projected effect:   -200 bp   -100 bp   +100 bp   +200 bp   +300 bp

Policy guideline
    (8.00 )%     (5.00 )%     (5.00 )%     (8.00 )%     (15.00 )%

     The computation of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, asset prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Actual amounts may differ from those projections set forth above should market conditions vary from the underlying assumptions used.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

             On June 25, 2002, Bay View Capital Corporation and Bay View Bank entered into a settlement agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank (“JP Morgan Chase”), successor by merger to Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York (“Morgan Guaranty”) relating to the complaint filed on November 9, 2000, in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, against Bay View Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company (“BVFMAC”).
 
             Throughout 1999, the former Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company (“FMAC”) originated approximately $80.5 million in loans (“Loans”) to a group of borrowers consisting of Cimm’s Incorporated and its affiliates. Prior to its acquisition by the Company in 1999, FMAC sold approximately $57 million of the Loans to Morgan Guaranty. In early 2001, the Company’s Board appointed a new management team that implemented a strategic plan to exit non-core businesses and refocus on its banking operations in Northern California. As part of that strategy, the Company and the Bank sold BVFMAC and signed a specific agreement to indemnify BVFMAC with respect to the claim, which was pending at the time of the sale.
 
             Without admitting the truth of the allegations raised in the claim, the Bank agreed to pay to JP Morgan Chase consideration consisting of the transfer of non-performing loans held by the Bank along with a cash payment of $1.1 million, in exchange for which JP Morgan Chase agreed to release all claims against BVFMAC, the Bank and the Company relating to the sale of the Loans.
 
             The settlement resulted in a $13.1 million pre-tax charge to earnings recorded in the second quarter; and the removal of approximately $12 million of non-performing loans from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
 
             We are involved as plaintiff or defendant in various other legal actions and are occasionally exposed to unasserted claims arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, the resolution of these other legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
