ITLA CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
          The unaudited consolidated financial statements of ITLA Capital Corporation (the “Company”) included herein reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results of operations and financial position of the Company, as of the dates and for the interim periods indicated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ITLA Capital Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Imperial Capital Bank (the “Bank”) and Imperial Capital Real Estate Investment Trust (“Imperial Capital REIT”).
          All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current period. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the remainder of the year.
          These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
NOTE 2 — ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
          The Company’s stock-based compensation plan is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 — “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized for a stock option grant if the exercise price of the stock option at measurement date is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, for disclosure purposes only. SFAS No. 123 disclosures include pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method of accounting had been used. If compensation had been determined based on SFAS No. 123, the Company’s pro forma net income and pro forma per share data would be as follows:

NOTE 3 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
          Basic Earnings Per Share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted Earnings Per Share (“Diluted EPS”) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock which shared in the Company’s earnings.

NOTE 5 — IMPAIRED LOANS RECEIVABLE
          As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $24.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $25.1 million and $21.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and $18.8 million and $17.2 million, respectively, for the same periods last year. Interest income recognized on impaired loans totaled $219,000 and $313,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $140,000 and $237,000 for the same periods last year.
NOTE 6 — RESIDUAL INTEREST IN SECURITIZATION
          During 2002, the Company formed a limited liability company to issue $86.3 million of asset-backed notes in a securitization of substantially all of the Company’s residential loan portfolio . The Company recorded a residual asset in connection with the securitization, which represented the present value of future cash flows (spread and fees) that were estimated to be received over the life of the loans. The residual interest is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in “Investment securities available for sale, at fair value”. The value of the residual interest is subject to substantial credit, prepayment, and interest rate risk on the sold residential loans. Fair value is estimated on a monthly basis based on a discounted cash flow analysis. These cash flows are estimated over the lives of the receivables using prepayment, default, and interest rate assumptions that management believes market participants would use for similar financial instruments.
          At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value of the residual interest based on projected cash flows to immediate adverse changes in those assumptions are as follows:
                 
    June 30,   December 31,
    2005   2004

Impact of 10% adverse change

Impact of 25% adverse change

Weighted average lifetime credit losses
    15.6 %     25.0 %
Impact of 10% adverse change
  $ (122 )   $ (262 )
Impact of 25% adverse change
  $ (302 )   $ (700 )
          These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in the fair value of the residual interest are based on a variation in assumptions and generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the

change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the above table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the residual interest is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments but increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities, and depending on the severity of such changes, the results of operations may be materially affected.
NOTE 7 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
          On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25, and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Generally, the approach to accounting for share-based payments in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values (i.e., pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition). SFAS No. 123(R) was to be effective for public companies at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005; however, the required implementation date for the Company was delayed until January 1, 2006. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) using a modified version of prospective application (“modified prospective application”). Under modified prospective application, as it is applicable to the Company, SFAS No. 123(R) applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after January 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (generally referring to non-vested awards) that are outstanding as of January 1, 2006 must be recognized as the remaining requisite service is rendered during the period of and/or the periods after the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The attribution of compensation cost for those earlier awards will be based on the same method and on the same grant-date fair values previously determined for the pro forma disclosures required for companies that did not adopt the fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and cannot currently quantify the impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Future levels of compensation cost recognized related to stock-based compensation awards will be impacted by new awards and/or modifications, repurchases and cancellations of existing awards before and after the adoption of this standard.
          In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, which is a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, ‘Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154

on January 1, 2006 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
NOTE 8 — BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
          SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, requires disclosure of segment information in a manner consistent with the “management approach”. The management approach is based on the way the chief operating decision-maker organizes segments within a company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
          The main factors used to identify operating segments were the specific product and business lines of the various operating segments of the Company. Operating segments are organized separately by product and service offered. We have identified one operating segment that meets the criteria of being a reportable segment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 131. This reportable segment is the origination and purchase of loans, which by its legal form, is identified as operations of the Bank and Imperial Capital REIT. This segment derives the majority of its revenue by originating and purchasing loans. Other operating segments of the Company that did not meet the criteria of being a reportable segment in accordance with SFAS No. 131 have been aggregated and reported as “All Other”. Substantially all of the transactions from the Company’s operating segments occur in the United States.
          Transactions between the reportable segment of the Company and its other operating segments are made at terms which approximate arm’s-length transactions and in accordance with GAAP. There is no significant difference between the measurement of the reportable segments profits and losses disclosed below and the measurement of profits and losses in our consolidated statements of income. Accounting allocations are made in the same manner for all operating segments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
          The following discussion and analysis is intended to identify the major factors that affected our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates
          The accounting and reporting policies followed by us conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While we base our estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.
          We consider accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i) the accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and (ii) different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on our financial statements. Accounting polices related to the allowance for loan losses are considered to be critical, as these policies involve considerable subjective judgment and estimation by management. We also consider accounting policies related to stock-based compensation to be critical due to the continuously evolving standards, changes to which could materially impact the way we account for stock options. Additionally, we also consider our accounting polices related to other real estate owned to be critical due to the potential significance of these activities and the estimates involved.
          For additional information regarding critical accounting policies, refer to Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the sections captioned “Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates” and “Allowance for Possible Loan Losses and Nonperforming Assets” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s application of accounting policies since December 31, 2004.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004
Executive Summary
          Consolidated net income was $5.8 million and $5.6 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Diluted EPS was $0.98 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $0.86 for the same period last year.
          Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased to $22.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to $19.4 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily caused by additional interest income earned due to the growth in the average balance of our loan portfolio, and an increase in the average balance of higher yielding investment securities held-to-maturity as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2004. This increase was partially offset by additional interest expense incurred due to the growth in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities as compared to the same period last year, deposits repricing to higher current market interest rates, and the addition of new borrowings at higher current market interest rates.
          The return on average assets was 0.91% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 1.30% for the same period last year. The decrease in the return on average assets ratio was primarily due to the increase in average total assets, which increased to $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2005 as compared to $1.7 billion for the same period last year. The return on average shareholders’ equity was 11.99% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared 11.23% for the same period last year.
          Loan production was $559.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $258.1 million for the same period last year. During the current quarter, the Bank originated $145.1 million of commercial real estate loans, $80.1 million of small balance multi-family real estate loans, $31.6 million of entertainment finance loans, $2.0 million of franchise loans, and its wholesale loan operations acquired $301.0 million of small balance multi-family loans. The Bank’s franchise loan production continues to decline in 2005 as it focuses on its commercial real estate and small balance multi-family real estate loan production. Loan production for the same period last year consisted of the origination of $156.0 million of commercial real estate loans, $55.8 million of small balance multi-family real estate loans, $21.6 million of entertainment finance loans and $24.7 million of franchise loans.

          Total interest income increased $13.5 million to $41.7 million in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to $28.2 million for the same period last year. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to a $549.1 million increase in the average balance of total loans receivable, a $292.4 million increase in the average balance of cash and investment securities, and a 147 basis point increase in the average yield earned on cash and investment securities.
          The average balance of cash and investments increased to $443.0 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $150.6 million during the same period last year. The increase in average cash and investments was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of higher yielding investment securities held-to-maturity, partially offset by a decline in lower yielding short-term and overnight investments as compared to the same period last year. As a result, the average yield earned on cash and investments increased to 4.05% during the second quarter of 2005 as compared to 2.58% for the same period last year.
          The average aggregate balance of our loan portfolio was $2.1 billion and $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Commercial real estate and construction loans had an average aggregate balance of $814.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to $683.0 million during the same period last year. Multi-family real estate loans had an average aggregate balance of $1.0 billion during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to $647.6 million during the same period last year. The average aggregate balance of entertainment finance loans was $93.0 million and $95.2 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The average aggregate balance of franchise loans was $137.7 million and $125.1 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Table of Contents

          The average yield earned on total loans increased to 7.08% in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 7.02% in the same period last year. The increase in yield was primarily due to loans repricing to higher current interest rates, partially offset by higher yielding loans being repaid and replaced by new loan production at current market interest rates. Our loan portfolio is primarily comprised of adjustable rate loans indexed to six month LIBOR. Approximately 98.5% of our loan portfolio was comprised of adjustable rate loans at June 30, 2005. These adjustable rate loans generally reprice on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2005, approximately $2.2 billion, or 91.0%, of our loan portfolio contained interest rate floors, below which the loans’ contractual interest rate may not adjust. At June 30, 2005, the weighted average floor interest rate of these loans was 6.1%. At that date, approximately $736.6 million, or 31.1%, of our loans were at their floor interest rate.
          Total interest expense increased by $10.7 million to $19.6 million during the second quarter of 2005, compared to $8.8 million for the same period last year. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to an increase of $914.1 million in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities, which was caused by the increase in deposits and FHLB advances and other borrowings, and a 86 basis point increase in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, which was primarily caused by deposits repricing to higher current market interest rates.
          Our average cost of funds increased to 3.37% during the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 2.51% for the same period last year. As discussed above, the increase in the average funding costs was primarily due to deposits repricing to higher current market interest rates, and the addition of FHLB advances and other borrowings. The average rate paid on deposit accounts was 3.08% during the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 2.18% for the same period last year. The average balance of deposit accounts increased $353.7 million to $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $1.2 billion for the same period last year. The average rate paid on FHLB advances and other borrowings was 3.43% during the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 2.58% for the same period last year. FHLB advances and other borrowings averaged $690.3 million during the current quarter, compared to $129.9 million for the same period last year.
          Net interest margin decreased to 3.48% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 4.55% for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities and the corresponding increase in our average cost of funds.

Provision for Loan Losses
          Management periodically assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses by reference to certain quantitative and qualitative factors that may be weighted differently at various times depending on prevailing conditions. These factors include, among other elements:
    general portfolio trends relative to asset and portfolio size;
 
    asset categories;
 
    credit and geographic concentrations;
 
    delinquency trends and nonaccrual loan levels;
 
    historical loss experience and risks associated with changes in economic, social and business conditions; and
 
    the underwriting standards in effect when the loan was made.
          Accordingly, the calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is not based solely on the level of nonperforming assets. The quantitative factors, included above, are utilized by our management to identify two different risk groups (1) individual loans (loans with specifically identifiable risks); and (2) homogeneous loans (groups of loan with similar characteristics). We base the allocation for individual loans primarily on risk rating grades assigned to each of these loans as a result of our loan management and review processes. We then assign each risk-rating grade a loss ratio, which is determined based on the experience of management and our independent loan review process. We estimate losses on impaired loans based on estimated cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or based on the underlying collateral value. Based on management’s experience, we also assign loss ratios to groups of loans. These loss ratios are assigned to the various homogenous categories of the portfolio.
          The qualitative factors, included above, are generally utilized to identify other risks inherent in the portfolio and to determine whether the estimated credit losses associated with the current portfolio might differ from historical loss trends. We estimate a range of exposure for each qualitative factor and evaluate the current condition and trend of each factor. Based on this evaluation, we assign a positive, negative or neutral grade to each factor to determine whether the portion of the qualitative reserve is in the high, middle or low end of the range for each factor. Because of the subjective nature of these factors and the judgments required to determine the estimated ranges, the actual losses incurred can vary significantly from the estimated amounts.
          Management believes that our allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2005 was adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio at that date. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of

additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.
          The consolidated provision for loan losses totaled $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2005, compared to $1.0 million for the same period last year. The provision for loan losses was recorded based on an analysis of the factors referred to above. The allowance for loan losses was 1.56% of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2005 as compared to 1.94% at December 31, 2004. The decrease in this percentage primarily reflects the decline in our overall risk profile due to a broader geographic diversification of our real estate loan portfolio resulting from the higher concentration of non-California small balance multi-family loans as a percentage of our total loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2005, 38.3% of our loan portfolio secured by real estate was located outside of California. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we had net loan charge-offs of $15,000 as compared to net loan recoveries of $41,000 during the same period last year. See also — “Financial Condition — Credit Risk”.
Non-Interest Income
          Non-interest income declined to $509,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $1.0 million for the same period last year. Substantially all of the non-interest income earned during the prior period related to the refund anticipation loan (“RAL”) program, which was terminated during 2004.
Non-Interest Expense
          Non-interest expense totaled $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $10.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The increase in non-interest expense was caused by the additional overhead expenses incurred in connection with the national expansion of our loan production platform over the same period last year. As of June 30, 2005, the Bank had 17 loan production offices outside of California and a total of 24 loan production offices operating. Our efficiency ratio (defined as recurring general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue) decreased to 48.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 51.38% for the same period last year. The improvement in our efficiency ratio was primarily due to the increase in interest income earned, as discussed above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
Executive Summary
          Consolidated net income totaled $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $19.4 million for the same period last year. Diluted EPS was $1.90 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $2.93 for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily caused by a decline in interest and fee income earned in connection with the Bank’s RAL program, which terminated at the conclusion of the 2004 tax season.
          Despite the termination of the RAL program, net interest income before provision for loan losses increased to $43.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $42.3 million for the same period last year. This increase was due to the growth in the average balance of our loan

portfolio, a decrease in the average balance of low yielding short-term and overnight investments, and an increase in the average balance of higher yielding investment securities held-to-maturity as compared to the same period last year. The decline in the average balance of short-term and overnight investment securities was a result of the termination of the RAL program, which generated a substantial level of liquidity during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The Bank invested this additional liquidity in short-term and overnight investments, which earned a lower yield than the Bank earns on its current investment portfolio. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by additional interest expense incurred due to the growth in the average balance of our interest bearing liabilities as compared to the same period last year, deposits repricing to higher current market interest rates, and the addition of new borrowings at higher current market interest rates.
          The return on average assets was 0.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 1.79% for the same period last year. The return on average shareholders’ equity was 11.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 19.61% for the same period last year. The decrease in these ratios was primarily attributable to the absence of RAL related income during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
          Loan production was $878.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $413.2 million for the same period last year. During the current six month period, the Bank originated $186.3 million of commercial real estate loans, $149.4 million of small balance multi-family real estate loans, $47.0 million of entertainment finance loan, $2.4 million of franchise loans, and its wholesale loan operations acquired $493.2 million of small balance multi-family loans. Loan production for the same period last year consisted of $236.0 million of commercial real estate loans, $94.0 million of small balance multi-family real estate loans, $42.0 million of entertainment finance loans and $41.2 million of franchise loans.
Net Interest Income and Margin
          The following table presents, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, our condensed average balance sheet information, together with interest income and yields earned on average interest earning assets and interest expense and rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities. Average balances are computed using daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans are included in loans receivable.

          Total interest income increased $18.2 million to $78.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $60.3 million for the same period last year. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to a $417.1 million increase in the average balance of total loans receivable and a 308 basis point increase in the average yield earned on cash and investments.
          The average balance of cash and investments decreased to $429.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $530.3 million during the same period last year. The decrease in average cash and investments was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of low yielding short-term and overnight investments, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of higher yielding investment securities held-to-maturity as compared to the same period last year. The decline in the average balance of short-term and overnight investment securities was a result of the termination of the RAL program, which generated a substantial level of liquidity during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The Bank invested this additional liquidity in short-term and overnight investments, which earned a lower yield than the Bank earns on its current investment portfolio. As a result, the average yield earned on cash and investments increased to 4.37% during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 1.29% for the same period last year.
          The average balance of our loan portfolio was $2.0 billion and $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Loans secured by income producing properties and construction loans increased to $1.7 billion for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, from $1.3 billion during same period last year. The average balance of entertainment finance loans was $96.2 million and $96.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005

and 2004, respectively. The average balance of franchise loans was $137.7 million and $115.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
          The average yield earned on total loans decreased to 7.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 7.38% during the same period last year. The decrease in the yield on loans was primarily due to the higher yielding loans being repaid and replaced by new loan production at lower current market interest rates, partially offset by adjustable rate loans repricing to higher current market interest rates. Our loan portfolio is primarily comprised of adjustable rate loans indexed to the six month LIBOR.
          Total interest expense increased by $16.6 million to $34.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $18.0 million for the same period last year. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to an increase of $752.6 million in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities, which was caused by the increase in deposits and FHLB advances and other borrowings, and a 67 basis point increase in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, which was primarily caused by deposits repricing to higher current market interest rates.
          Our average cost of funds increased to 3.21% during the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 2.54% for the same period last year. The average rate paid on deposit accounts was 2.89% during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 2.20% for the same period last year. The average balance of deposit accounts increased $301.5 million to $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $1.2 billion for the same period last year. The average rate paid on the FHLB advances and other borrowings was 3.30% during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 2.76% for the same period last year. FHLB advances and other borrowings averaged $595.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $143.9 million for the same period last year.
          Net interest margin decreased to 3.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 4.09% for the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities and the corresponding increase in our average cost of funds, partially offset by the increase in yield earned on the average interest earning assets.
Provision for Loan Losses
          The consolidated provision for loan losses totaled $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $2.4 million for the same period last year. The provision for loan losses was recorded based on an analysis of the factors referred to previously. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we had net loan charge-offs of $331,000, compared to net loan recoveries of $125,000 for the same period last year.

Non-Interest Income
          Non-interest income totaled $489,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $14.4 million for the same period last year. Substantially all of the non-interest income earned during the prior period was due to income earned in connection with the RAL program. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, non-interest income consisted of fee income earned in connection with the RAL program consisting of $9.3 million of net premiums on the sale of RAL loans and $4.6 million of processing and administrative fees. Because the origination of loans under the RAL program resulted from the filing of individual income tax returns, transaction activity was concentrated most heavily during the tax season. This resulted in the Company earning most of its RAL program income in the first quarter of 2004.
Non-Interest Expense
          Non-interest expense totaled $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $22.6 million for the same period last year, and reflects the Company’s continued investment in the national expansion of our loan production platform. The Company’s efficiency ratio (defined as recurring general and administrative expenses as percentage of net revenue) increased to 50.27 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 38.49 percent for the same period in 2004, due to the decline in net revenues as a result of the termination of the RAL program.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
          Total assets increased to $2.8 billion at June 30, 2005 as compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2004. The increase in total assets was primarily due to a $566.6 million increase in our loan portfolio, partially offset by a $54.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The increase in the loan portfolio was primarily due to the loan production of $878.3 million and a decline in loan prepayment speeds experienced during the current period. At June 30, 2005, loans, net totaled $2.4 billion, including approximately $2.2 billion of real estate loans, $86.1 million of entertainment finance loans, and $135.2 million of franchise loans. Total deposit accounts increased to $1.7 billion at June 30, 2005 from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2004. FHLB advances and other borrowings increased to $814.7 million at June 30, 2005, compared to $584.2 million at December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to additional borrowings utilized to fund the growth in our loan portfolio. Management believes that a significant portion of deposits will remain with us upon maturity based on our historical experience regarding retention of deposits.

          As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, other loans of concern totaled $49.0 million and $37.1 million, respectively. Other loans of concern consist of loans with respect to which known information concerning possible credit problems with the borrowers or the cash flows of the collateral securing the respective loans has caused management to be concerned about the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms, which may result in the future inclusion of such loans in the nonaccrual category. The increase in other loans of concern for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to $19.9 million of new other loans of concern, partially offset by $4.0 million of loan repayments, $2.6 million of loans being upgraded, and $1.4 million of loans being transferred to nonperforming assets.

          Liquidity refers to our ability to maintain cash flows adequate to fund operations and meet obligations and other commitments on a timely basis, including the payment of maturing deposits and the origination or purchase of new loans. We maintain a cash and investment securities portfolio designed to satisfy operating liquidity requirements while preserving capital and maximizing yield. As of June 30, 2005, we held $33.1 million of cash and cash equivalents (consisting primarily of short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less) and $87.1 million of investment securities classified as available for sale.
          Short-term fixed income investments classified as cash equivalents consisted of interest bearing deposits at financial institutions, government money market funds and short-term government agency securities, while investment securities available for sale consisted primarily of fixed income instruments, which were rated “AAA”, or equivalent by nationally recognized rating agencies. In addition, our liquidity position is supported by a credit facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. As of June 30, 2005, we had remaining available borrowing capacity under this credit facility of $109.5 million, net of the $5.4 million of additional Federal Home Loan Bank stock that we would be required to purchase to support those additional borrowings. We also had available $50.0 million of uncommitted, unsecured lines of credit with two unaffiliated financial institutions, and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility with an unaffiliated financial institution.
Capital Resources
          The Company, the Bank’s holding company, had Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk based and total risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2005 of 10.16%, 10.98% and 13.03%, respectively, which represents $132.2 million, $118.0 million and $71.8 million, respectively, of capital in excess of the amount required to be “well capitalized.” These ratios were 12.30%, 13.67% and 16.00% as of December 31, 2004, respectively.
          The Bank had Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk based and total risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2005 of 9.31%, 10.05% and 11.30%, respectively, which represents $108.2 million, $94.2 million and $30.3 million, respectively, of capital in excess of the amount required to be “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes. These ratios were 11.02%, 12.21% and 13.47% as of December 31, 2004, respectively.
          At June 30, 2005, shareholders’ equity totaled $198.2 million, or 7.0% of total assets. Our book value per share of common stock was $36.14 as of June 30, 2005, as compared to $35.09 as of December 31, 2004, and $34.11 as of June 30, 2004.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
          (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out as of June 30, 2005 under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
          (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, no change occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
          The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
