PACIFIC CREST CAPITAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Pacific Crest Capital, Inc., without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Crest Capital, Inc. (Pacific Crest or the Parent) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pacific Crest Bank (the Bank), PCC Capital I (PCC Capital), Pacific Crest Capital Trust I (PCC Trust I), and Pacific Crest Capital Trust II (PCC Trust II) which together are referred to as the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current period presentation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. The results of operations for this current interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent period or for the full year.
Note 2. Two-For-One Stock Split
On October 17, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a 2-for-1 stock split, to be effected in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend. Shareholders received one additional share of common stock for each share that they held on the record date of October 30, 2002. The additional shares were distributed on November 12, 2002.
The stock split resulted in the issuance of 2,986,530 shares of common stock. Par value of the stock remained unchanged at $0.01 per share. Accordingly, the Company recorded the transaction on November 12, 2002 and increased Common stock by $29,865, with an offsetting reduction to Additional paid-in capital in the same amount. The effect of the stock split has been recognized in Common stock and Additional paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as in all share and per share amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 5. Computation of Earnings Per Common Share
Basic and diluted earnings per common share were determined by dividing net income by the applicable basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. For the diluted earnings per share computation, the basic weighted average common shares outstanding were increased to include additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive stock options had been exercised. The dilutive effect of stock options was calculated using the treasury stock method.
The tables below present the basic and diluted earnings per common share computations for the periods indicated (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data):

In December of 2002, the Company executed trades to purchase $56 million of fixed rate, GNMA mortgage-backed securities with an estimated interest rate yield of 5%. The $56 million in GNMA securities trades did not fund until late January of 2003, and are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Unsettled mortgage-backed securities trades, with the related liability reported as Accounts payable for unsettled securities trades. The securities did not earn interest for the Company until the trades were funded in late January of 2003.
The Companys investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2003 consisted of fixed rate investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae (GNMA) and Fannie Mae (FNMA) (together the mortgage-backed securities), as well as adjustable rate investments in corporate debt securities. As of June 30, 2003, the Companys entire investment securities portfolio was scheduled to mature after ten years. However, the average life of the Companys mortgage-backed securities portfolio may be shorter due to principal prepayments.
At June 30, 2003, the Company had utilized $5.5 million of its mortgage-backed securities to secure outstanding FHLB advances. No mortgage-backed securities were pledged to secure borrowings at December 31, 2002.

On March 20, 2003, the Company announced that a newly established subsidiary of the Parent, Pacific Crest Capital Trust I (PCC Trust I), had issued $13,330,000 of trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. There were no commissions or expenses charged by the underwriter on this transaction. The trust preferred securities have a maturity of 30 years, but are callable by the Company in part or in total at par after five years. The trust preferred securities have a fixed interest rate of 6.335% during the first five years, after which the interest rate will float and reset quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.25%. Interest is to be paid quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30.
On April 23, 2003, the Company announced that another newly established subsidiary of the Parent, Pacific Crest Capital Trust II (PCC Trust II), had issued $6,000,000 of trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. There were no commissions or expenses charged by the underwriter on this transaction. The trust preferred securities have a maturity of 30 years, but are callable by the Company in part or in total at par after five years. The trust preferred securities have a fixed interest rate of 6.58% during the first five years, after which the interest rate will float and reset quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.15%. Interest is to be paid quarterly on January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30.
Concurrent with the issuances of these trust preferred securities, both PCC Trust I and PCC Trust II invested the offering proceeds in junior subordinated debentures issued by Pacific Crest, bearing interest at the same terms as the trust preferred securities. Pacific Crest, in turn, lent the money to the Bank, which used the funds to purchase GNMA mortgage-backed securities.
The interest on the junior subordinated debentures paid by Pacific Crest to both PCC Trust I and PCC Trust II represents the sole revenue of PCC Trust I and PCC Trust II and the sole source of dividend distributions to the holders of the trust preferred securities . Pacific Crest fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the obligations of both PCC Trust I and PCC Trust II.
The trust preferred securities are presented on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption Trust preferred securities. The dividends distributed on the trust preferred securities are recorded as Interest expense - trust preferred securities on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 11. Stock Options
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), in accounting for its stock options, whereby compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Companys stock option plans have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and accordingly, under APB 25, no compensation cost is recognized for them. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, the Companys net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table for the periods presented (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data):

Note 12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December of 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (SFAS 148). SFAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS 148 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In January of 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), which clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, relating to consolidation of certain entities. FIN 46 applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which the enterprise holds a variable interest it acquired before February 1, 2003, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April of 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 149), which amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except under certain circumstances, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The guidance should be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 149 did not have, nor is expected to have, a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In May of 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 aims to eliminate diversity in practice by requiring that certain types of financial instruments be reported as liabilities by their issues. The provisions of SFAS 150 are effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 15, 2003 and pre-existing instruments as of the beginning of the first interim period that commences after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have, nor is expected to have, a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 13. Subsequent Event
On August 12, 2003, the Company announced that a newly established subsidiary of the Parent, Pacific Crest Capital Trust III (PCC Trust III) had issued $10,000,000 of trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. The trust preferred securities have a maturity of 30 years, but are callable by the Company in part or in total at par after five years. The trust preferred securities have a fixed interest rate of 6.80% during the first five years, after which the interest rate will float and reset quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.10%. Interest is to be paid quarterly.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is managements discussion and analysis of the major factors that influenced the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the current period. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and with the unaudited financial statements and notes as set forth in this report.
Forward-Looking Information
Certain matters discussed under this caption may constitute forward-looking statements under Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. There can be no assurance that the results described or implied in such forward-looking statements will, in fact, be achieved and actual results, performance, and achievements could differ materially because the business of the Company involves inherent risks and uncertainties. These risks include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions nationally and in California, unanticipated credit losses in the Companys loan portfolio, rapid changes in interest rates, and other risks discussed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Increase in FHLB Credit Line
In July of 2003, the FHLB increased the Banks borrowing limit from 35% to 40% of the Banks unconsolidated total assets, which increased the Banks credit line from $210 million to $240 million.
Future Borrowing Contracts with FHLB
During June and July of 2003, the Company entered into future fixed rate, long-term borrowing contracts totaling $70.0 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). The Company matched the funding dates of these future borrowings with the maturity dates of $70.0 million in existing fixed rate FHLB borrowings scheduled to mature through July of 2004. The Companys strategy is to, in effect, refinance and extend these existing $70.0 million in FHLB borrowings at current market interest rates, in anticipation of higher market interest rates at later dates when these borrowings mature. The future $70.0 million in fixed rate FHLB borrowings will mature at various times in 2006 and 2007 and have a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.51%, 33 basis points lower than the weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.84% on the existing borrowings.
Recent Issuance and Future Redemption of Trust Preferred Securities
On August 12, 2003, the Company announced that a newly established subsidiary of the Parent, Pacific Crest Capital Trust III (PCC Trust III) had issued $10,000,000 of trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. The trust preferred securities have a maturity of 30 years, but are callable by the Company in part or in total at par after five years. The trust preferred securities have a fixed interest rate of 6.80% during the first five years, after which the interest rate will float and reset quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.10%. Interest is to be paid quarterly.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from this offering to redeem the remaining $10,000,000 of the 9.375% Trust Preferred Securities of its wholly owned subsidiary, PCC Capital I, in order to reduce future interest expense. The securities will be redeemed at par value, plus accrued interest, on Monday, September 15, 2003.
In connection with this $10,000,000 redemption of the 9.375% Trust Preferred Securities, the Company will incur an estimated pre-tax charge of $493,000, or $286,000 after tax, in order to expense the remaining deferred issuance costs related to these securities. The impact of this expense on the Companys diluted earnings per share is estimated at $0.05 per share.
14
Redemption of Trust Preferred Securities
On June 30, 2003, Pacific Crest redeemed $7,250,000, or 42%, of the 9.375% Trust Preferred Securities issued by its wholly owned subsidiary, PCC Capital I. The securities were redeemed at par value, plus accrued interest. After the redemption, there was $10,000,000 still outstanding of the originally issued $17,250,000 in 9.375% Trust Preferred Securities. In connection with the redemption, the Company recorded a second quarter pre-tax charge of $359,000 in order to expense the pro rata portion of the deferred issuance costs related to these securities. This charge is reflected on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Income as Write-off of deferred issuance costs on trust preferred securities.
Issuances of Trust Preferred Securities
On March 20, 2003, the Company announced that a newly established subsidiary of the Parent, Pacific Crest Capital Trust I (PCC Trust I), had issued $13,330,000 of trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. There were no commissions or expenses charged by the underwriter on this transaction. The trust preferred securities have a maturity of 30 years, but are callable by the Company in part or in total at par after five years. The trust preferred securities have a fixed interest rate of 6.335% during the first five years, after which the interest rate will float and reset quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.25%. Interest is to be paid quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30.
On April 23, 2003, the Company announced that another newly established subsidiary of the Parent, Pacific Crest Capital Trust II (PCC Trust II), had issued $6,000,000 of trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. There were no commissions or expenses charged by the underwriter on this transaction. The trust preferred securities have a maturity of 30 years, but are callable by the Company in part or in total at par after five years. The trust preferred securities have a fixed interest rate of 6.58% during the first five years, after which the interest rate will float and reset quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.15%. Interest is to be paid quarterly on January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30.
Capital
As of June 30, 2003, Pacific Crests Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.23%, 12.96%, and 17.71%, respectively. The Banks Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.87%, 13.84%, and 15.10%, respectively. These ratios placed Pacific Crest and the Bank in the well-capitalized category as defined by federal regulations, which require corresponding capital ratios of 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively, to qualify for that designation.
Dividends
On July 17, 2003, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share for third quarter of 2003. The dividend will be paid on September 12, 2003, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 29, 2003.
On April 15, 2003, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per common share for the second quarter of 2003. The dividend was paid on June 13, 2003, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 30, 2003.
On January 23, 2003, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per common share for the first quarter of 2003. The dividend was paid on March 14, 2003 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2003.
15
Stock Repurchase Plan
On April 9, 2003, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved an additional 300,000 shares under the stock repurchase program.
On February 8, 2000, the Company sold its interest rate cap agreement and recognized a deferred gain of $1.8 million, which was reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption, Accrued interest payable and other liabilities. The deferred gain was amortized as a credit to Interest expense deposits over the remaining life of the original interest rate cap agreement, which had a maturity date of June 8, 2003. During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the amount of deferred gain amortization totaled $240,000 and $275,000, respectively, which resulted in a reduction in interest expense on deposits.
Low Interest Rate Environment
During the first six months of 2003, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) reduced the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points, to 1.00%, on June 25, 2003. During 2002, the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds target rate by 50 basis points, to 1.25% on November 6, 2002. During 2001, the Federal Reserve reduced the federal funds target rate by 475 basis points to 1.75%. The impact of this cumulative 550 basis point reduction led to a low interest rate environment in 2002 and 2001, which continued into the first six months of 2003, and resulted in (i) downward repricing of the Companys adjustable rate loans, and (ii) the Companys lowering of interest rates on all of its deposit products. Additionally, the interest rates declined on the Companys adjustable rate investments and borrowings.

Unsettled Securities Trades
In December of 2002, the Company executed trades to purchase $56 million of fixed rate, GNMA mortgage-backed securities with an estimated interest rate yield of 5%. The $56 million in GNMA securities trades did not fund until late January of 2003, and are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Unsettled mortgage-backed securities trades, with the related liability reported as Accounts payable for unsettled securities trades. The securities did not earn interest for the Company until the trades were funded in late January of 2003.
Corporate Governance
The following are some of the key corporate governance practices at the Company, which are oriented to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest and that the Company is operated in the best interest of shareholders:
Four of the Companys five directors are independent outside directors.
None of the Companys officers and directors has loans from the Company.
There are no loans by the Company to outside companies controlled by or affiliated with officers or directors.
Outside directors do not receive compensation from the Company other than director fees. In recent years, outside directors have elected to receive 50% of their director fees in shares of Pacific Crest common stock.
The Companys Board of Directors has audit, compensation, and corporate governance/nominating committees comprised solely of independent outside directors.
Additionally, one of the Companys directors, Rudolph I. Estrada, is a member of the National Association of Corporate Directors and Chairman of the Companys Nominating and Governance Committee.
The charters of all of the Companys Board committees require that (1) each committee consist of no fewer than three members of the Board, and (2) all members must be independent outside directors, as defined by Companys policy for determining independence and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. listing standards. On April 9, 2003, the non-employee directors of the Board formally reviewed each member of the Board and determined that all of the Board members, except Gary Wehrle, Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO, qualify as independent directors, as required under the various committee charters. Accordingly, Mr. Wehrle, as an employee director, is not a member of any Board committees.
On April 9, 2003, the non-employee directors of the Board, excluding Steve Orlando, Chairman of the Audit Committee, reviewed the qualifications and experience of Mr. Orlando, and determined that he qualifies as a financial expert under the Companys current Audit Committee guideline requirements and Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
In May of 2003, Institutional Shareholder Services, a leading provider of proxy voting and corporate governance services, gave Pacific Crest Capital, Inc. a 99.8% corporate governance rating.

Earnings Performance Summary
Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
Net income was $2.2 million (or $0.42 per common share on a diluted basis) for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $1.7 million (or $0.33 per common share on a diluted basis) for the corresponding period in 2002. Pre-tax income was $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and $3.1 million for the same period in 2002. The following describes the changes in the major components of pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002:
Net interest income grew by $368,000, to $6.1 million, primarily due to a $838,000 decline in interest expense, partially offset by a $470,000 drop in interest income. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to lower interest expense on deposits, which was principally attributable to the Companys lowering of interest rates on its deposits and related certificates of deposit run-off. The decreases in interest rates on the Companys deposits resulted from a lower interest rate environment due to the cumulative reduction of 550 basis points, to 1.00%, in the federal funds target rate by the Federal Reserve in 2003, 2002 and 2001. The lower interest expense on deposits was partially offset by higher interest expense on borrowings, primarily due to the growth in FHLB advances and trust preferred securities.
The drop in interest income was principally due to lower interest income on loans, which was primarily due to the impact of declining interest rates on the Companys adjustable rate loans and the weighted average interest rate on loan payoffs exceeding the weighted average interest rate on loan originations. This was partially offset by higher interest income on mortgage-backed securities, which was principally due to $124.3 million in fixed rate, GNMA purchases made during the twelve month period from June 30, 2002 through June 30, 2003.
Provision for loan losses decreased by $100,000, to $50,000, reflecting managements evaluation of the allowance for loan losses and the risk inherent in the Companys loan portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the allowance for loan losses increased by $50,000, to $8.7 million, which reflected the $50,000 provision and no charge-offs or recoveries. During the three months June 30, 2002, the allowance for loan losses increased by $153,000, to $8.5 million, which reflected a $150,000 provision and recoveries of $3,000. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.94% and 1.82% at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and 1.88% at December 31, 2002.
Non-interest income grew by $712,000, to $1.6 million, primarily due to increases of $280,000 and $496,000 in gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans and gain on sale of investment securities, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of $141,000 in broker fee income on SBA 504 loans. The growth in gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans was due to the sale of $5.7 million in the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans during the second quarter of 2003, whereas $2.6 million of SBA 7(a) loans were sold during the same period in 2002. The $496,000 gain on sale of investment securities was primarily due to the sale in June of 2003 of $20.2 million in GNMA mortgage-backed securities.
Non-interest expense grew by $433,000, to $3.8 million, primarily due to increases of $359,000 and $82,000 in write-off of deferred issuance costs on trust preferred securities and legal, audit, and other professional fees, respectively. The $359,000 write-off of deferred issuance costs on trust preferred securities was incurred in connection with the $7,250,000 redemption of the Companys 9.375% Trust Preferred Securities on June 30, 2003. The growth in legal, audit, and other professional fees was primarily due to consulting fees paid related to the Companys asset liability management, as well as legal fees incurred in connection with the review of the Companys corporate financing transactions.

Earnings Performance Summary
Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
Net income was $4.3 million (or $0.81 per common share on a diluted basis) for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $3.3 million (or $0.61 per common share on a diluted basis) for the corresponding period in 2002. Pre-tax income was $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and $5.7 million for the same period in 2002. The following describes the changes in the major components of pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002:
Net interest income grew by $1.3 million, to $12.2 million, primarily due to a $2.3 million decline in interest expense, partially offset by a $983,00 drop in interest income. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to lower interest expense on deposits, which was principally attributable to the Companys lowering of interest rates on its deposits and related certificates of deposit run-off. The decreases in interest rates on the Companys deposits resulted from a lower interest rate environment due to the cumulative reduction of 550 basis points, to 1.00%, in the federal funds target rate by the Federal Reserve in 2003, 2002 and 2001. The lower interest expense on deposits was partially offset by higher interest expense on borrowings, primarily due to the growth in FHLB advances and trust preferred securities.
The drop in interest income was principally due to lower interest income on loans, which was primarily due to the impact of declining interest rates on the Companys adjustable rate loans and the weighted average interest rate on loan payoffs exceeding the weighted average interest rate on loan originations. This was partially offset by higher interest income on mortgage-backed securities, which was principally due to $124.3 million in fixed rate, GNMA purchases made during the twelve month period from June 30, 2002 through June 30, 2003.
Provision for loan losses decreased by $150,000, to $100,000, reflecting managements evaluation of the allowance for loan losses and the risk inherent in the Companys loan portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the allowance for loan losses increased by $100,000, to $8.7 million, which reflected the $100,000 provision and no charge-offs or recoveries. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the allowance for loan losses increased by $583,000, to $8.5 million, which reflected a $250,000 provision and recoveries of $333,000.
Non-interest income grew by $1.0 million, to $2.5 million, primarily due to increases of $661,000 and $516,000 in gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans and gain on sale of investment securities, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of $239,000 in broker fee income on SBA 504 loans. The growth in gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans was due to the sale of $9.7 million in the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans during the first six months of 2003, whereas $2.6 million of SBA 7(a) loans were sold during the same period in 2002. The $516,000 gain on sale of investment securities was primarily due to the sale in June of 2003 of $20.2 million in GNMA mortgage-backed securities, for which the Company recognized a gain of $496,000.
Non-interest expense grew by $723,000, to $7.1 million, primarily due to increases of $359,000 and $267,000 in write-off of deferred issuance costs on trust preferred securities and legal, audit, and other professional fees, respectively. The $359,000 write-off of deferred issuance costs on trust preferred securities was incurred in connection with the $7,250,000 redemption of the Companys 9.375% Trust Preferred Securities on June 30, 2003. The growth in legal, audit, and other professional fees was primarily due to the $175,000 reversal in the first quarter of 2002 of expenses relating to obtaining a favorable ruling on an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) income tax refund claim and settling a legal claim brought against the Bank. Contributing to the increase in this category were the factors mentioned in the second quarter of 2003 discussion. See Earnings Performance Summary Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Volume and Rate Variance Analysis of Net Interest Income
Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense due to changes in average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (i) changes in volume (i.e. changes in average balance multiplied by prior period rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e. changes in rate multiplied by prior period average balance). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the absolute dollar amounts of the changes due to volume and rate (dollars in thousands):

Net Interest Income - Three Months Analysis
On an overall basis, net interest income grew by $368,000, to $6.1 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to a $838,000 decline in interest expense, partially offset by a $470,000 drop in interest income. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to lower interest expense on deposits, which was principally attributable to the Companys lowering of interest rates on its deposits and related certificates of deposit run-off. The decreases in interest rates on the Companys deposits resulted from a lower interest rate environment due to the cumulative reduction of 550 basis points, to 1.00%, in the federal funds target rate by the Federal Reserve in 2003, 2002 and 2001. The lower interest expense on deposits was partially offset by higher interest expense on borrowings, primarily due to the growth in FHLB advances and trust preferred securities.
The drop in interest income was principally due to lower interest income on loans, which was primarily due to the impact of declining interest rates on the Companys adjustable rate loans and the weighted average interest rate on loan payoffs exceeding the weighted average interest rate on loan originations. This was partially offset by higher interest income on mortgage-backed securities, which was principally due to $124.3 million in fixed rate, GNMA purchases made during the twelve month period from June 30, 2002 through June 30, 2003.
23
The impact of the federal funds target rate decreases in 2003, 2002 and 2001 caused downward repricing on the Companys adjustable rate loans, which are primarily based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) and the prime rate. The federal funds target rate is the rate at which banks lend to each other in the overnight market. Reductions in the federal funds target rate generally result in reductions of LIBOR as well as the prime rates offered by major banks, including Bank of America. The Companys LIBOR loans are generally priced at a margin above six-month LIBOR. The Companys prime rate loans are priced at a margin above either Bank of Americas prime lending rate or the published Wall Street Journal prime lending rate. As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, 85.8% and 84.9% of the Companys loan portfolio consisted of adjustable rate loans, respectively.
The downward repricing of the Companys adjustable rate loans was partially offset by the impact of the interest rate floors that exist on most of the Companys adjustable rate loans. Interest rate floors protect the Company in a declining interest rate environment, as affected loans do not reprice downward to their fully indexed rate when interest rates fall. Another offsetting factor was that the Companys adjustable rate loans generally can reprice only up to a maximum of 200 basis points in a year.
The net interest rate spread declined by four basis points, to 3.90%, during the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to a decrease of 106 basis points, to 6.68%, in the yield on average total interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease of 102 basis points, to 2.78%, in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was primarily due to (i) a drop in the yield on loans, which was discussed above, (ii) a decrease in the yield on mortgage-backed securities, which was principally due to $124.3 million of lower rate purchases made in a declining interest rate environment, and (iii) a change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to lower yield mortgage-backed securities from higher yield loans.
The decrease in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities was principally attributable to the lowering by the Company of the interest rates on its deposits, as well as (i) maturities in 2002 of higher rate term borrowings, (ii) a reduction in rates on the Companys FHLB borrowing facility, and (iii) a decline in the aggregate rate on the Companys trust preferred securities due to the issuance in 2003 of $19.3 million of trust preferred securities with a weighted average rate of 6.41%, lower than the rate on the 9.375% Trust Preferred Securities. These factors were partially offset by a change in the composition of the Companys average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits.
Total Interest Income - Three Months Analysis
On an overall basis, total interest income decreased by $470,000, to $10.0 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to the $1.1 million reduction in interest income on the Companys loans, principally attributable to (i) downward repricing on the Companys adjustable rate loans, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate on loan payoffs exceeding the weighted average interest rate on loan originations. Additionally, the balance of the Companys loans declined due to the combination of loan payoffs and sales exceeding loan originations. The lower interest income on loans was partially offset by the $675,000 growth in interest income on the Companys mortgage-backed securities, which was primarily due to fixed rate purchases of $124.3 million during the twelve month period from June 30, 2002 through June 30, 2003. Such purchases were made at lower interest rates due to the declining interest rate environment. The Company made these purchases in order to help offset the decline in interest income on loans. On a volume and rate analysis basis, the decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets, which decreased interest income by $1.1 million, partially offset by the growth in the balance of these assets, which increased interest income by $651,000.
Average total interest-earning assets grew by $57.9 million, to $598.4 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, and was principally due to an increase of $69.5 million in average investment securities, partially offset by reductions of $9.3 million and $2.2 million in average loans and average securities purchased under resale agreements, respectively. The changes in average investment securities and average loans resulted in a shift in the mix of average total interest-earning assets to lower yield investment securities from higher yield loans. The percentage of average investment securities to average total interest-earning assets increased to 24.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2003 from 13.8% during the same period in 2002.
24
The increase in average investment securities of $69.5 million, to $144.3 million, was primarily due to the growth in average mortgage-backed securities of $71.4 million, partially offset by a decline in average corporate debt securities of $1.9 million. The growth in average mortgage-backed securities was principally due to fixed rate GNMA purchases of $22.2 million in the third quarter of 2002, $71.4 million in the first quarter of 2003, and $30.7 million in the second quarter of 2003, partially offset by a sale of $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2003 and principal payments received on these securities The Company made the purchases in order to help offset the decrease in interest income on the Companys loans. The decline in average corporate debt securities was primarily due to Company write-downs to market value of $682,000 and $81,000 in the third and fourth quarters of 2002, respectively, on one of the Companys corporate debt securities, as well as the sale of that security during the first quarter of 2003.
The yield earned on average total interest-earning assets decreased by 106 basis points, to 6.68%, during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to the following decreases in yields attributable to the declining interest rate environment during 2003, 2002, and 2001:
The yield on average loans declined by 82 basis points, to 7.33%, primarily due to the downward repricing of the Companys adjustable rate loans and the weighted average interest rate on loan payoffs exceeding the weighted average interest rate on loan originations.
The yield on average short-term securities purchased under resale agreements decreased by 63 basis points, to 1.22%.
The yield on average fixed rate mortgage-backed securities dropped by 92 basis points, to 4.70%, primarily due to lower yielding purchases of $22.2 million made in the third quarter of 2002 and $102.1 million made in the first six months of 2003, as well as slightly faster acceleration in the amortization of the premiums paid on the mortgage-backed securities, which was attributable to an increase in the payoffs of the underlying mortgage loans.
The yield on average adjustable rate corporate debt securities declined by 97 basis points, to 2.81%, reflecting the downward repricing of these adjustable rate instruments.
Contributing to the decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was the change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to lower yield investment securities from higher yield loans.
25
Total Interest Expense -Three Months Analysis
On an overall basis, total interest expense decreased by $838,000, to $3.9 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to the $1.3 million reduction in interest expense on deposits, principally attributable to the Companys lowering of interest rates on its deposits and the related certificates of deposit run-off. This was partially offset by the $498,000 growth in interest expense on borrowings, which was principally due to the growth in FHLB advances and trust preferred securities. These factors were mitigated by the maturities of higher rate term borrowings in 2002. On a volume and rate analysis basis, the decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decline in the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, which reduced interest expense by $1.0 million, partially offset by the growth in the balance of these liabilities, which increased interest expense by $194,000.
Average total interest-bearing liabilities grew by $62.3 million, to $562.4 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, and was primarily due to an increase of $101.8 million in average borrowings, partially offset by a reduction of $39.5 million in average deposits. The changes in average deposits and average borrowings resulted in a change in the composition of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits. The percentage of average borrowings to average total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 37.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2003 from 21.3% during the same period in 2002.
The decline in average deposits of $39.5 million, to $353.9 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, was principally due to a reduction of $41.5 million in average certificates of deposit. This decrease was primarily attributable to the Companys lowering of interest rates on all of its deposit products in response to the lower interest rate environment resulting from the cumulative 550 basis point reduction, to 1.00%, in the federal funds target rate by the Federal Reserve during 2003, 2002, and 2001.
The changes in the average balances of the Companys deposit products resulted in a shift in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit. This reflected the Companys strategy and efforts to help reduce the overall cost of its deposits. The percentage of average checking and savings accounts to average deposits rose to 42.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2003, from 38.0% during the same period in 2002.
The growth in average borrowings of $101.8 million, to $208.5 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, was principally due to an increase of $115.1 million in average combined short-term and long-term FHLB advances, as well as an increase of $17.8 million in average trust preferred securities, partially offset by a reduction of $31.1 million in average term borrowings. The increase in average combined short-term and long-term FHLB advances was primarily due to $120.0 million in long-term advances, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.63%, that the Company obtained during the 12-month period from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003. The growth in average trust preferred securities was due to the Companys issuances in March and April of 2003 of $13.3 million and $6.0 million in trust preferred securities, respectively, bearing respective interest rates of 6.335% and 6.58% during the first five years of their 30-year terms. The average term borrowings declined due to maturities of $10.0 million, and $20.0 million and $10.0 million in April, September, and October of 2002. These matured term borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 6.63%.
The changes in the average balances of the Companys borrowing facilities resulted in a shift in the composition of average borrowings to lower rate FHLB advances from higher rate non-FHLB borrowings. This reflected the Companys strategy in using the FHLBs low cost credit facility primarily for fixed rate advances with 12-36 month terms to insulate the Company from potentially higher interest rates in 2003, 2004, and 2005. The percentage of average FHLB advances to average borrowings rose to 83.2% during the three months ended June 30, 2003, from 54.7% during the same period in 2002.
26
The rate on average total interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 102 basis points, to 2.78%, during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, and was principally due to the reduction of 113 basis points, to 2.35%, in the rate on average deposits, as well as the reduction of 145 basis points, to 3.51%, in the rate on average borrowings. Partially offsetting these factors was a change in the composition of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings, with a weighted average rate of 3.51%, from lower rate deposits, with a weighted average rate of 2.35%.
The 113 basis point decline in the rate on average deposits reflected the Companys lowering of interest rates on its deposit products, which resulted in reductions of 52 basis points, 63 basis points, and 130 basis points in the rates on average checking accounts, average savings accounts, and average certificates of deposit, respectively. Contributing to the decrease in the rate on average deposits was a change in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit.
The 145 basis point decrease in the rate on average borrowings was primarily due to (i) the reduction of 13 basis points, to 2.63%, in the rate on average combined short-term and long-term FHLB advances, due to the use of lower rate, short-term FHLB advances and the addition of $120.0 million of long-term advances, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.63%, during the 12-month period from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003, (ii) the reduction of 663 basis points in the rate on average term borrowings, which matured during 2002, and (iii) the reduction of 152 basis points, to 7.87%, in the rate on average trust preferred securities, due to the issuances in March and April of 2003 of $13.3 million and $6.0 million in trust preferred securities, respectively, bearing respective interest rates of 6.335% and 6.58% that were lower than the 9.375% rate on the pre-existing $17.3 million in trust preferred securities issued in 1997, and (iv) the change in the composition of average borrowings to lower rate FHLB advances from higher rate non-FHLB borrowings.

(2) Average balances of loans are calculated net of deferred loan fees, but include non-accrual loans which have a zero yield.
(2) Average balances of investment securities available for sale are presented on a historical amortized cost basis.
(3) Net interest rate spread represents the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets less the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities.
(5) Net interest margin is computed by dividing annualized net interest income by average total interest-earning assets.

Volume and Rate Variance Analysis of Net Interest Income
Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense due to changes in average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (i) changes in volume (i.e. changes in average balance multiplied by prior period rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e. changes in rate multiplied by prior period average balance). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the absolute dollar amounts of the changes due to volume and rate (dollars in thousands):

On an overall basis, net interest income grew by $1.3 million, to $12.2 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to a $2.3 million decline in interest expense, partially offset by a $983,000 drop in interest income. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to lower interest expense on deposits, which was principally attributable to the Companys lowering of interest rates on its deposits and related deposit run-off. The decreases in interest rates on the Companys deposits resulted from a lower interest rate environment due to the cumulative reduction of 550 basis points, to 1.00%, in the federal funds target rate by the Federal Reserve in 2003, 2002, and 2001. The lower interest expense on deposits was partially offset by higher interest expense on borrowings, primarily due to the growth in FHLB advances and trust preferred securities.
The drop in interest income was principally due to lower interest income on loans, which was primarily due to the impact of declining interest rates on the Companys adjustable rate loans and the weighted average interest rate on loan payoffs exceeding the weighted average interest rate on loan originations. This was partially offset by higher interest income on mortgage-backed securities, which was principally due to $124.3 million in fixed rate, GNMA purchases made during the twelve month period from June 30, 2002 through June 30, 2003.
30
The net interest rate spread grew by 28 basis points, to 4.04%, during the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to a decrease of 118 basis points, to 2.79%, in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of 90 basis points, to 6.83%, in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets. The decrease in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities was principally attributable to the lowering by the Company of the interest rates on its deposits, as well as (i) maturities in 2002 of higher rate term borrowings, (ii) a reduction in rates on the Companys FHLB borrowing facility, and (iii) a decline in the aggregate rate on the Companys trust preferred securities due to the issuance in 2003 of $19.3 million of trust preferred securities with a weighted average rate of 6.41%, lower than the rate on the 9.375% Trust Preferred Securities.
The decrease in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was primarily due to (i) a drop in the yield on loans, which was discussed above, (ii) a decrease in the yield on mortgage-backed securities, which was principally due to $124.3 million of lower rate purchases made in a declining interest rate environment, and (iii) a change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to lower yield mortgage-backed securities from higher yield loans.
On an overall basis, total interest income decreased by $983,000, to $19.8 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to the $2.0 million reduction in interest income on the Companys loans, partially offset by the $1.2 million growth in interest income on the Companys mortgage-backed securities. See Total Interest Income Three Months Analysis for information on the changes in interest income on loans and mortgage-backed securities. On a volume and rate analysis basis, the decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets, which decreased interest income by $2.2 million, partially offset by the growth in the balance of these assets, which increased interest income by $1.2 million.
Average total interest-earning assets grew by $43.0 million, to $585.2 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, and was principally due to an increase of $60.3 million in average investment securities, partially offset by reductions of $5.1 million and $12.2 million in average loans and average securities purchased under resale agreements, respectively. The changes in average investment securities and average loans resulted in a shift in the mix of average total interest-earning assets to lower yield investment securities from higher yield loans. The percentage of average investment securities to average total interest-earning assets increased to 21.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2003 from 12.4% during the same period in 2002.
The increase in average investment securities of $60.3 million, to $127.4 million, was primarily due to the growth in average mortgage-backed securities of $62.1 million, partially offset by a decline in average corporate debt securities of $1.8 million. See Total Interest Income Three Months Analysis for information on the changes in average investment securities.
The yield earned on average total interest-earning assets decreased by 90 basis points, to 6.83%, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to the following decreases in yields attributable to the declining interest rate environment during 2003, 2002, and 2001:
The yield on average loans declined by 81 basis points, to 7.46.
The yield on average short-term securities purchased under resale agreements decreased by 55 basis points, to 1.11%.
The yield on average fixed rate mortgage-backed securities dropped by 76 basis points, to 4.68.
The yield on average adjustable rate corporate debt securities declined by 80 basis points, to 2.98.
Contributing to the decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was the change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to lower yield investment securities from higher yield loans.

Total Interest Expense Six Months Analysis
On an overall basis, total interest expense decreased by $2.3 million, to $7.6 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to the $2.9 million reduction in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by the $608,000 growth in interest expense on borrowings. On a volume and rate analysis basis, the decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decline in the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, which reduced interest expense by $2.2 million.
Average total interest-bearing liabilities grew by $45.6 million, to $547.6 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, and was primarily due to an increase of $91.9 million in average borrowings, partially offset by a reduction of $46.3 million in average deposits. The changes in average deposits and average borrowings resulted in a change in the composition of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits. The percentage of average borrowings to average total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 35.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2003 from 20.3% during the same period in 2002.
The decline in average deposits of $46.3 million, to $353.7 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, was principally due to a reduction of $45.8 million in average certificates of deposit. This decrease was primarily attributable to the Companys lowering of interest rates on all of its deposit products in response to the lower interest rate environment resulting from the cumulative 550 basis point reduction, to 1.00%, in the federal funds target rate by the Federal Reserve during 2003, 2002, and 2001.
The changes in the average balances of the Companys deposit products resulted in a shift in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit. This reflected the Companys strategy and efforts to help reduce the overall cost of its deposits. The percentage of average checking and savings accounts to average deposits rose to 42.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2003, from 37.4% during the same period in 2002.
The growth in average borrowings of $91.9 million, to $193.9 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, was principally due to an increase of $117.6 million in average combined short-term and long-term FHLB advances, as well as an increase of $9.8 million in average trust preferred securities, partially offset by a reduction of $35.5 million in average term borrowings. See Total Interest Expense Three Months Analysis for information on the changes in the components of average borrowings.
The changes in the average balances of the Companys borrowing facilities resulted in a shift in the composition of average borrowings to lower rate FHLB advances from higher rate non-FHLB borrowings. This reflected the Companys strategy in using the FHLBs low cost credit facility primarily for fixed rate advances with 12-36 month terms to insulate the Company from potentially higher interest rates in 2003, 2004, and 2005. The percentage of average FHLB advances to average borrowings rose to 86.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2003, from 48.3% during the same period in 2002.
The rate on average total interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 118 basis points, to 2.79%, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, and was principally due to the reduction of 118 basis points, to 2.43%, in the rate on average deposits, as well as the reduction of 186 basis points, to 3.44%, in the rate on average borrowings.
The 118 basis point decline in the rate on average deposits reflected the Companys lowering of interest rates on its deposit products, which resulted in reductions of 51 basis points, 58 basis points, and 142 basis points in the rates on average checking accounts, average savings accounts, and average certificates of deposit, respectively. Contributing to the decrease in the rate on average deposits was a change in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit.
32
The 186 basis point decrease in the rate on average borrowings was primarily due to (i) the reduction of 27 basis points, to 2.65%, in the rate on average combined short-term and long-term FHLB advances, due to the use of lower rate, short-term FHLB advances and the addition of $120.0 million of long-term advances, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.63%, during the 12-month period from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003, (ii) the reduction of 663 basis points in the rate on average term borrowings, which matured during 2002, and (iii) the reduction of 109 basis points, to 8.29%, in the rate on average trust preferred securities, due to the issuances in March and April of 2003 of $13.3 million and $6.0 million in trust preferred securities, respectively, bearing respective interest rates of 6.335% and 6.58% that were lower than the 9.375% rate on the pre-existing $17.3 million in trust preferred securities issued in 1997, and (iv) the change in the composition of average borrowings to lower rate FHLB advances from higher rate non-FHLB borrowings.
Provision for Loan Losses
During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company decreased its provision for loan losses by $100,000, to $50,000, compared to the same period in 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company decreased its provision for loan losses by $150,000, to $100,000, compared to the same period in 2002. The Company uses the provision for loan losses to establish the allowance for loan losses based on managements evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. See Financial Condition Allowance for Loan Losses.

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 grew by $712,000, to $1.6 million, compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to increases of $280,000 and $496,000 in gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans and gain on sale of investment securities, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of $141,000 in broker fee income on SBA 504 loans.
Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 grew by $1.0 million, to $2.5 million, compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to increases of $661,000 and $516,000 in gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans and gain on sale of investment securities, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of $239,000 in broker fee income on SBA 504 loans.
The $280,000 and $661,000 increases in gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same periods in 2002, respectively, were due to increases in the loans sold. The Company sold $5.7 million and $9.7 million of SBA 7(a) loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to $2.6 million during the same periods in 2002. Regarding its SBA programs, the Companys goal is to produce constant quarterly fee income generated through recurring sales of SBA 7(a) loans and/or recurring sales and brokering of SBA 504 loans.
The $496,000 increase in gain on sale of investment securities for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was due to the sale in June of 2003 of $20.2 million in GNMA mortgage-backed securities.
The $516,000 increase in gain on sale of investment securities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was due to the above mentioned sale of GNMA mortgage-backed securities, as well as the sale in January of 2003 of one of the Companys corporate debt securities, for which the Company had recorded a $763,000 write-down to market value in 2002.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 grew by $433,000, to $3.8 million, compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to increases of $359,000 and $82,000 in write-off of deferred issuance costs on trust preferred securities and legal, audit, and other professional fees, respectively.
Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 grew by $723,000, to $7.1 million, compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to increases of $359,000 and $267,000 in write-off of deferred issuance costs on trust preferred securities and legal, audit, and other professional fees, respectively.
The $359,000 write-off of deferred issuance costs on trust preferred securities was incurred in connection with the $7,250,000 redemption of the Companys 9.375% Trust Preferred Securities on June 30, 2003.
The $82,000 growth in legal, audit, and other professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002, was principally due to consulting fees paid related to the Companys asset liability management, as well as legal fees incurred in connection with the review of the Companys corporate financing transactions.
The $267,000 growth in legal, audit, and other professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002, was primarily due to the $175,000 reversal in the first quarter of 2002 of a portion of an accrual originally taken during the fourth quarter of 2001 for estimated expenses relating to (i) obtaining a favorable ruling on an IRS income tax refund claim, and (ii) settling a legal claim brought against the Bank. Contributing to the increase in this category were the factors mentioned above in the second quarter of 2003 discussion.
The $26,000 and $95,000 increases in salaries and employee benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same periods in 2002, respectively, was primarily due to (i) an increase of approximately 4% in employee base salaries, effective January of 2003, and (ii) an expansion in the staffing level of the Companys SBA lending program. Partially offsetting these factors was a decrease in marketing commissions due to reductions in loan originations and brokered SBA 504 loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002.

Total assets declined by $11.0 million, to $592.7 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to decreases of $56.0 million, $7.4 million, and $5.3 million in unsettled mortgage-backed securities trades (at amortized cost), net loans, and cash and cash equivalents. These factors were partially offset by increases of $55.5 million and $2.6 million in mortgage-backed securities (at amortized cost) and other assets, respectively. See the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the uses and sources of cash and cash equivalents.
The $7.4 million decline in net loans, to $440.1 million, was primarily due to $47.8 million of loan payoffs and principal payments and $11.1 million of SBA loan sales, partially offset by $52.0 million of loan originations.
The $55.5 million increase in mortgage-backed securities, to $123.9 million, was principally due to GNMA purchases of $56.0 million in January of 2003, which represented the settlements of the $56.0 million in unsettled mortgage-backed securities trades that the Company had recorded as of December 31, 2002. The Company also purchased $15.4 million and $30.7 million of GNMA mortgage-backed securities in March and April of 2003, respectively, using proceeds from the issuances of $13.3 million and $6.0 million in trust preferred securities, as well as $27.0 million in proceeds from short-term FHLB advances. Partially offsetting these increases in mortgage-backed securities were principal payments totaling $25.7 million and a $20.2 million sale in June of 2003.
The $2.6 million growth in other assets, to $17.7 million, was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in the Companys investment in FHLB stock, which was required due to the Companys addition of $40.0 million in FHLB advances during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Total liabilities declined by $9.9 million, to $548.7 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to decreases of $56.0 million and $7.6 million in accounts payable for unsettled securities trades and deposits, respectively, partially offset by increases of $52.1 million and $1.6 million in borrowings and other liabilities, respectively.
The $56.0 million in accounts payable for unsettled securities trades as of December 31, 2002 was settled in January of 2003 with the purchases of GNMA mortgage-backed securities funded with proceeds from short-term FHLB advances. This $56.0 million of short-term advances, together with the above mentioned $27.0 million of short-term advances, were paid off via the following transactions:
The Company converted $40.0 million to long-term FHLB advances, in order to take advantage of the low interest rate environment and insulate the Company from potentially higher interest rates in 2003, 2004, and 2005. These new advances have a weighted average interest rate of 2.25% and terms of 30-36 months.
The remaining $43.0 million of short-term FHLB advances were paid off with funds received from principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, as well as the $20.2 million sale of mortgage-backed securities and redemption of securities purchased under resale agreements.
In addition to the $40.0 million of long-term FHLB advances, borrowings also increased due to the $12.1 million growth in trust preferred securities, which was comprised of the following activity:
In March of 2003, the Company issued $13.3 million, with an interest rate of 6.335% during the first five years of its 30-year term.
In April of 2003, the Company issued $6.0 million, with an interest rate of 6.58% during the first five years of its 30-year term.
In June of 2003, the Company redeemed $7.25 million, with an interest rate of 9.375%.
The $7.6 million decline in deposits, to $351.9 million, was primarily due to a reduction of $14.9 million in certificates of deposit, partially offset by increases of $1.3 million and $6.0 million in checking accounts and savings accounts, respectively. The changes in the balances of the Companys deposit products resulted in a shift in the composition of deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit. This reflected the Companys strategy and efforts to help reduce the overall cost of its deposits. The percentage of checking and savings accounts to total deposits increased to 43.1% at June 30, 2003 from 40.2% at December 31, 2002.
Shareholders equity decreased by $1.1 million, to $44.1 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003. Changes in shareholders equity were due to the following factors:
37
The Company recorded $4.3 million of net income for the first six months of 2003.
The Company declared and paid cash dividends of $521,000 for the first six months of 2003.
Accumulated other comprehensive income increased by $427,000 during the first six months of 2003, primarily due to an increase in unrealized gains on the Companys mortgage-backed securities portfolio.
Common stock in treasury increased by $5.2 million during the first six months of 2003, primarily due to the $5.7 million purchase of 300,908 shares of the Companys common stock under its stock repurchase plan. This increase in treasury stock was partially offset by the issuance of 51,377 shares of common stock in treasury, at an aggregate cost of $461,000, under the Companys employee stock purchase plan, non-employee directors stock purchase plan, and employee stock option plan.

The Companys income property loans have been originated primarily through either direct contacts with borrowers by Company marketing representatives or referrals from commercial loan brokers, other banks, realtors, and other third parties, for which the borrower generally pays a referral fee normally between 0.5% to 1% of the loan amount. The Company employs commercial marketing representatives who maintain contacts with loan referral sources, screen referred transactions, and provide customer service.
The Companys credit approval process includes an examination of the cash flow and debt service coverage of the property serving as loan collateral, as well as the financial condition and credit references of the borrower. Following analysis of the borrowers credit, cash flows and collateral, loans are submitted to the Companys Credit Committee for approval. The Companys senior management is actively involved in its lending activities and collateral valuation and review process. The Company obtains independent third party appraisals of all properties securing its loans. In addition, the Company employs an individual who serves as internal property analyst to inspect properties and review the third party appraisals for the benefit of the Credit Committee.
38
The Company currently offers income property loans that generally fall within a range of $250,000 to $4.0 million. Management, in consultation with the Banks Board of Directors, periodically adjusts and modifies its underwriting criteria and lending and underwriting policies in response to economic conditions and business opportunities.
As of June 30, 2003, $408.9 million, or 91.1% of the Companys gross loans were categorized as income property loans. The Company has been specializing in this type of lending for over 15 years and believes that it has developed highly effective risk diversification policies as well as exceptionally strong credit and collateral analysis skills in this area. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company had no charge-offs and no recoveries on income property loans. During each of the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000, and 1998, total recoveries on income property loans exceeded charge-offs. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Company had no income property loans categorized as non-accrual. The management of the Company believes that its excellent history of credit losses has been due to a strong, diversified regional economy as well as the intense focus by the Company on risk management for income property lending.
The Company believes that it manages credit risk tightly in its income property loan portfolio and uses a variety of policy guidelines and analytical tools to achieve its asset quality objectives. Key risk control features include:
Geographic diversification of real estate collateral throughout Southern California and elsewhere, avoiding large submarket concentrations (see the following table on geographic locations of the Companys income property loans.
Avoiding lending in geographic areas that have rapidly escalating property rents or high levels of new construction.
Focusing on property types that are less prone to the boom and bust building cycle.
Limiting loan size on any one property. As of June 30, 2003, the largest single income property loan was $3.7 million and the average loan size of this portfolio was $838,000.
Analyzing the ability of the underlying real estate to service the related borrowers loan through various economic and interest rate cycles.
Requiring higher debt service coverage ratios on new loans during times of low interest rates in order to insulate the Company as much as possible from borrower defaults as interest rates rise. This was particularly emphasized during 2002 due to historically low short-term interest rates.
Careful evaluation of professional property appraisals by both the Companys Credit Committee and the Companys internal property valuation review analyst.
Deploying only highly seasoned and skilled specialists in both business development and Credit Committee member positions. Employees in these roles at June 30, 2003, averaged over 15 years of service with the Company and over 25 years of lending experience.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses increased by $100,000, to $8.7 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2003, due to $100,000 in provision for loan losses and no charge-offs or recoveries. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.94% at June 30, 2003, compared to 1.88% at December 31, 2002.
The Companys management considered the following recent loan loss and credit experience in evaluating the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2003:
During the six months ended June 30, 2003, there were no charge-offs or recoveries.
During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, recoveries exceeded charge-offs by $168,000, $46,000 and $186,000, respectively.
There were non-accrual loans of $1.3 million and no other real estate owned at June 30, 2003. There were no non-accrual loans at nine of the last fourteen quarter-end periods as of June 30, 2003. There was no other real estate owned at any of the last fourteen quarter-end periods as of June 30, 2003.
Most of the Companys adjustable rate borrowers experienced some decline in the interest payments on their loans due to the cumulative 550 basis point reduction in the federal funds target rate during 2003, 2002, and 2001, which strengthened their debt service capabilities. However, many of these borrowers did not realize the full impact of the interest rate reduction on their loan payments due to interest rate floors that exist on a significant number of the Companys adjustable rate loans. As of June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, 85.8% and 85.4% of the Companys loan portfolio consisted of adjustable rate loans, respectively.
In addition to recent loan loss and credit experience, management considers historical loan loss experience as well as changes within the loan portfolio in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Changes in the loan portfolio include (i) the growth in SBA lending, (ii) changes in geographic concentration, (iii) changes in the collateral mix of the loan portfolio, and (iv) the debt service ability of borrowers. In addition, management attempts to factor in the changes that relate to the economy in specific cities or locations. Most of these factors (geographic concentration, collateral concentration, debt service coverage of borrowers, and current vacancy rates) are favorable to the Companys current loan portfolio as compared to the loan portfolio of the 1991 1994 economic period. Management believes that the ability to predict the direction of the current U.S. economy is difficult given the continued risk of possible terrorism, the continued negative impact of declines in corporate earnings and the stock market, and the loss of consumer confidence. Management feels that the economy may only experience slow to modest growth during the remainder of 2003. In considering all of the above factors, management believes that the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2003 is adequate.
Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts, thereby adversely affecting future results of operations.

The Company had five non-accrual SBA 7(a) loans for $1,280,000 at June 30, 2003, of which one loan for $316,000 paid off in early July of 2003, without loss, and of the remaining balance of $964,000, $747,000 was fully secured and guaranteed by the SBA.
The Companys primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, and payments of principal and interest on loans and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled principal amortization on loans are a reasonably predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. As a measure of protection against these uncertainties, the Company maintains borrowing relationships with the FHLB, the State of California Treasurers Office, and several investment banking firms, whereby the Company is able to borrow funds that are secured by pledging mortgage-backed securities. As of June 30, 2003, the aggregate market value of the Companys mortgage-backed securities was $127.3 million, of which $5.5 million had been utilized by the Company to secure FHLB advances, leaving $121.8 million of mortgage-backed securities available for collateral purposes.

The Bank also has established a fixed rate borrowing facility with the State of California Treasurers Office under which the Bank can borrow an amount not to exceed its unconsolidated total shareholders equity, which totaled $62.0 million at June 30, 2003. Borrowing maturity dates under this program cannot exceed one year. The State of California requires collateral with a value of at least 110% of the outstanding borrowing amount. The Banks mortgage-backed securities qualify as acceptable collateral under this borrowing facility. As of June 30, 2003, the Bank had no securities pledged under this borrowing facility and had no outstanding borrowings from the State of California.
The Bank is a member of the FHLB, which serves as a source of both fixed rate and adjustable rate borrowings, with maturities ranging from one day to 30 years. Under the FHLBs credit facility, the Bank is able to borrow an FHLB-approved percentage of the Banks unconsolidated total assets. All FHLB advances must be secured by eligible collateral, subject to FHLB guidelines and limitations. Such collateral may consist of either non-residential real estate loans or multi-family residential loans (together income property loans), or mortgage-backed securities, or a combination thereof. For pledged non-residential real estate loans, the FHLB will lend up to 45% on an individual loan basis and up to 25% of the Banks unconsolidated total assets on an aggregate basis. For multi-family residential loans, the FHLB will lend up to 80% on an individual basis. For mortgage-backed securities, the FHLB will lend up to 97% of the market value.
As of June 30, 2003, the Banks FHLB credit line totaled $210.4 million, based on an FHLB-approved borrowing limit of 35% of the Banks unconsolidated total assets. As of June 30, 2003, the Bank had $160.0 million of outstanding advances against the FHLB credit facility that were collateralized by $322.3 million in income property loans and $5.5 million in mortgage-backed securities. This left $50.4 million available under the FHLB credit line for future advances, subject to the Bank providing additional mortgage-backed securities as collateral. However, as previously mentioned, the Bank had $121.8 million in mortgage-backed securities available for collateral purposes. As of June 30, 2003, the Bank had utilized all of its eligible income property loans as collateral for FHLB advances.
In July of 2003, the FHLB increased the Banks borrowing limit to 40% of the Banks unconsolidated total assets, which increased the Banks credit line to $240.4 million.
As a Delaware corporation, Pacific Crest may pay common dividends out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, from net profits for the current and preceding fiscal year. Pacific Crest, on an unconsolidated basis, had approximately $10.8 million in cash, securities purchased under resale agreements, and intercompany loans from the Bank less current liabilities at June 30, 2003. However, these funds are necessary to pay future operating expenses of Pacific Crest, service the $10.0 million junior subordinated debenture payable to PCC Capital, service the $13.3 million subordinated debenture payable to PCC Trust I, service the $6.0 million subordinated debenture payable to PCC Trust II, and fund possible future capital infusions into the Bank. Without dividends from the Bank, Pacific Crest must rely solely on existing cash, investments, and the ability to secure borrowings.
The Banks ability to pay dividends to Pacific Crest is restricted by California state law, which requires that sufficient retained earnings be available to pay the dividend. In June of 2003, the Bank paid a cash dividend of $800,000 to Pacific Crest for the second quarter of 2003. In March of 2003, the Bank paid a cash dividend of $800,000 to Pacific Crest for the first quarter of 2003. At June 30, 2003, the Bank had retained earnings of $30.4 million available for future dividend payments.
On July 17, 2003, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share for the third quarter of 2003. The dividend will be paid on September 12, 2003 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 29, 2003.
During the first and second quarters of 2003, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.05 and $0.06 per common share, respectively. The total amount of cash dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $521,000.

The Companys objective is to maintain a level of capital that will support sustained asset growth, provide for anticipated credit risks, and ensure that regulatory guidelines and industry standards are met. Pacific Crest and the Bank are subject to certain minimum capital adequacy and minimum well capitalized category guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. These guidelines relate primarily to the Tier 1 leverage ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and the total risk-based capital ratio. The minimum well capitalized required ratios are 5.00% Tier 1 leverage, 6.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital, and 10.00% total risk-based capital. The minimum capital adequacy required ratios are 4.00% Tier 1 leverage, 4.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital, and 8.00% total risk-based capital. At June 30, 2003, Pacific Crest and the Bank exceeded the required ratios for minimum capital adequacy and classification as well capitalized.

The increases in Pacific Crests total risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital during the six months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily due to the favorable capital impact of the March and April of 2003 issuances of $13.3 million and $6.0 million in trust preferred securities by PCC Trust I and PCC Trust II, respectively.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Companys primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time to maximize income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize the risks. The Companys exposure to market risk is reviewed by the Companys Asset/Liability Committee. Tools used by management include an earnings at risk interest rate shock analysis and, to a lesser extent, the standard GAP report, which measures the estimated difference between the amount of interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities anticipated to mature or reprice during future periods, based on certain assumptions. In general, the GAP report presents the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities in a particular period based on either the date that they first reprice, for variable rate products, or the maturity date, for fixed rate products. The Company has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes and is not currently engaged in transactions involving derivative financial instruments. Management believes that the Companys market risk is reasonable at this time.

The one-year GAP increased by $7.6 million during the first six months of 2003, principally due to an increase in one-year assets of $9.2 million, partially offset by an increase in one-year liabilities of $1.6 million.
The growth in one-year assets was primarily due to a $16.8 million increase in the one-year loan category, partially offset by a $6.6 million decline in securities purchased under resale agreements. The increase in one-year loans was principally due to loans that moved into the one-year category from longer term categories because they were initially fixed rate for a period of one to five years and have now converted to the adjustable rate period of their terms. Additionally, the Companys loan originations during the six months ended June 30, 2003 primarily consisted of adjustable rate loans.
The growth in one-year liabilities was primarily due to increases of $14.3 million, $6.0 million and $1.3 million in one-year certificates of deposit, savings accounts, and checking accounts, respectively. The increase in one-year certificates of deposit was due to the movement of certificates of deposit into the one-year category from longer term categories. This was partially offset by the movement of $20.0 million in FHLB advances to the Over 24 Months category at June 30, 2003, from the one-year category at December 31, 2002, due to the Companys future borrowing contracts with the FHLB discussed below.
The Company has assumed, for purposes of the accompanying GAP tables, that its checking and savings accounts reprice immediately.
In the accompanying June 30, 2003 GAP table, the Company has included $70.0 million of its existing fixed rate FHLB advances scheduled to mature within 18 months in the Over 24 Months category. In June and July of 2003, the Company entered into future fixed rate, long-term borrowing contracts with the FHLB which will, in effect, extend the maturity of these existing FHLB advances into the Over 24 Months category. The Company matched the funding dates of the future borrowings with the maturity dates of these existing advances. For more information, see Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Future Borrowing Contracts with FHLB.
The GAP analysis is an imprecise measure of the impact of rising or falling interest rates because variable rate assets and liabilities are tied to different interest rate indices and/or are affected by different market forces. Additionally, the Company has certain variable rate loans included in the under one-year asset categories which are at their contractual interest rate floors, and therefore will not immediately adjust after an interest rate increase. The Company is attempting to mitigate the effect on net interest income of this loan floor issue by extending the maturities of its interest-sensitive liabilities beyond one year wherever practical. Such efforts primarily involve the replacement of maturing certificates of deposit and FHLB advances with fixed rate FHLB advances and certificates of deposit, which generally have terms of 12 to 36 months.

(1) The majority of the adjustable rate loans included in the Within 6 Months and Over 6 to 12 Months categories were at their contractual interest rate floors at June 30, 2003 and thus would not reprice downward. The adjustable rate loans at contractual interest rate floors that are above the fully indexed loan interest rate will not reprice upward until the fully indexed interest rate exceeds the contractual interest rate floor. The Company is endeavoring to minimize this lag effect in loan repricing by borrowing at fixed interest rates for terms of 12 to 36 months wherever practical.
(2) The Company has included $70.0 million of its existing fixed rate FHLB advances scheduled to mature within 18 months in the Over 24 Months category. In June and July of 2003, the Company entered into future fixed rate, long-term borrowing contracts with the FHLB which will, in effect, extend the maturity of these FHLB advances into the Over 24 Months category. The Company matched the funding dates of the future borrowings with the maturity dates of these existing advances. For more information, see Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Future Borrowing Contracts with FHLB.

(1) The majority of the adjustable rate loans included in the Within 6 Months and Over 6 to 12 Months categories were at their contractual interest rate floors at December 31, 2002 and thus would not reprice downward. The adjustable rate loans at contractual interest rate floors that are above the fully indexed loan interest rate will not reprice upward until the fully indexed interest rate exceeds the contractual interest rate floor. The Company is endeavoring to minimize this lag effect in loan repricing by borrowing at fixed interest rates for terms of 12 to 36 months wherever practical.
