Results of Operations

Core earnings of $3.2 million in the second quarter of 1996 increased by 109 percent from the corresponding quarter in 1995, primarily because of a $4.8 million increase in net interest income that more than offset an increase in loan-loss provisions.

Core earnings in the second quarter of 1996 were 71 percent greater than in the first quarter of 1996, primarily because of the beneficial effects of a 28-basis-point increase in the net interest margin and a decrease in loan-loss provisions. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, core earnings per share were 97 cents and 66 cents, respectively.

The company's net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis was 2.69 percent in the second quarter of 1996, compared with 2.41 percent in the first quarter of 1996 and 1.96 percent in the second quarter of 1995.

Net interest income in the second quarter of 1996 totaled $13.4 million and was $4.8 million, or 55 percent, higher than in the corresponding quarter in 1995. The 73-basis-point increase in the net interest margin in the second quarter of 1996 compared with the second quarter of 1995 resulted in $1.7 million of additional net interest income.

Higher average interest-earning balances in 1996 than in 1995 generated $3.1 million of additional net interest income in the same comparative quarters. In the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, net interest income totaled $25.6 million, representing a 43 percent increase from the corresponding period in 1995.

The $7.7 million increase consisted of rate- and volume-related variances of $3.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

The company recorded $2.3 million of provisions for loan losses in the second quarter of 1996, compared with $300,000 in the corresponding quarter in 1995.

The company increased its provisions for loan losses in response to several factors, including: increases in delinquent delinquent 1) adj. not paid in full amount or on time. 2) n. short for an underage violator of the law as in juvenile delinquent.

Noninterest income increased by $668,000 during the second quarter of 1996 compared with the corresponding quarter in 1995 because of increases in: fee income earned from loan-servicing activities; sales of investment products; and gains from sales of securities.

Losses from real estate operations were greater in the second quarter of 1996 than in the corresponding period in 1995 primarily because of reductions in office-rental income following the first-quarter sale of the Santa Monica office building.

For the six-month period ended June 30, noninterest income increased by $6 million in 1996 compared with 1995. The principal sources of the increase in 1996 were a $4.5 million pretax gain on the sale of the Santa Monica building, a $529,000 increase in loan- servicing revenues on small-business loans and an $830,000 increase in gains from sales of investments and mortgage-backed securities.

In addition, deposit-insurance premiums increased in the second quarter of 1996 compared with 1995 because of growth in the deposit base.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, operating expenses totaled $17.3 million, compared with $16.3 million in the first half of 1995.

The reasons for the increase in the comparative six-month periods were similar to those for the comparative quarters. In addition, the $546,000 increase in other operating expenses in the first half of 1996 compared with the corresponding period in 1995 included greater expenditures for professional services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products.  and expense accruals Accruals

Increases in income from fully taxable sources in 1996 compared with 1995 have had the effect of increasing the effective tax rate. In addition, tax-advantaged interest from the municipal-bond portfolio has been decreasing because of bond sales in 1996, which also has pushed the effective tax rate higher.

During the second quarter of 1996, delinquent loans as a percentage of outstanding loans increased by 27 basis points and consisted of the following:

``The largest component of the increase in delinquent loans during the second quarter was 21 basis points of increase in delinquent income-property loans.

 at June 30, 1996, totaled $29.8 million, or 1.39 percent of total assets, compared with $25.8 million, or 1.22 percent of total assets, at the beginning of the quarter.

The nonperforming-asset ratio increased by 17 basis points during the second quarter because of increases in nonaccruing loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans totaling $3.9 million and $27,000, respectively. Nonaccruing single-family sin·gle-fam·i·ly

 loans, income- property loans and small-business loans increased by $903,000, $3 million and $62,000, respectively.

The previously mentioned delinquent income-property loans were primarily responsible for the increase in nonaccruing income-property loans.

Discussing trends in single-family delinquencies, Lowrey noted: ``The steady increase in single-family delinquencies in recent quarters reflects continued financial stress being experienced by borrowers in Southern California Southern California, also colloquially known as SoCal, is the southern portion of the U.S. state of California. Centered on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, Southern California is home to nearly 24 million people and is the nation's second most populated region, . Delinquencies on loans made three to 10 years ago are materially higher than on less-seasoned loans.

``These borrowers would have been most adversely affected by the decline in real estate prices during the recent recession.''

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1996, was 1.03 percent of loans held for investment and represented 72 percent of nonaccruing loans at that date. One year earlier, the allowance for loan losses was .94 percent of loans held for investment and covered 107 percent of nonaccruing loans.

Charge-offs, net of recoveries, totaled $1.3 million during the second quarter of 1996, compared with $1.6 million in the first quarter of 1996 and $72,000 in the second quarter of 1995.
