Net Income and Net Interest Income

Net income was $25.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The reported net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $25.4 million, which included a $3.9 million tax benefit from the repatriation of earnings from a foreign subsidiary of the Bank.

The net interest margin was 3.50% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared with 3.74% for the corresponding quarter of 2005. The decrease in the net interest margin reflects the impact of higher interest paid on money market accounts and CDs resulting from increases in market interest rates and the runoff Runoff

 due to the current market interest rate environment. The average cost of deposits during the second quarter of 2006 was 3.22%, compared with 1.99% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. The 123 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits reflects the increase in market interest rates and the change in deposit mix. The increase in the cost of deposits was largely offset by an 83 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased to $10.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared with $5.7 million for the corresponding quarter of 2005, primarily due to increases in commercial banking fees and gains on sales of loans. Commercial banking fees increased by $812,000, or 31.2%, to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared with commercial banking fees of $2.6 million for the corresponding quarter of 2005. The increase reflects the growth in trade finance activity and other commercial banking fees and an increase in fees received at UCB Investment Services, Inc. Gain on sale of commercial and multifamily real estate loans increased to $4.2 million, or 62.4%, compared with $2.6 million for the corresponding quarter of 2005, due to increased sales volume and higher spreads.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2006 increased by 22.0%, to $37.1 million, from $30.4 million for the corresponding quarter of 2005. This increase was primarily a result of increased personnel costs, occupancy-related expenses, data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a  expenses and miscellaneous expenses. In the second quarter of 2006, personnel expense increased 37.3% to $20.7 million, compared with $15.1 million for the second quarter of 2005. This increase resulted from the ongoing expenses associated with the acquisitions of Pacifica and AABT which were completed in the fourth quarter of 2005, staffing increases required to support the growth of the Bank's commercial banking business, the opening of new branches, the expansion of the Bank's infrastructure to support a growing organization and nonrecurring Non`re`cur´ring

 expenses increased by $454,000 to $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2006, primarily related to the two acquisitions and the new branch openings in California and New York.

Included in the data processing expenses for the second quarter of 2006 were conversion expenses of $570,000 related to the two acquisitions. Other general and administrative expenses increased by $867,000 to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared with $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. This increase relates primarily to increased advertising expenses related to the expansion of the Bank and foreign exchange losses incurred in the second quarter of 2006.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased by $24.9 million, or 0.80% annualized, to $6.24 billion at June 30, 2006, from $6.26 billion at December December: see month.  31, 2005. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $9.7 million, or 3.4% annualized, to $568.3 million, at June 30, 2006, compared with $558.6 million, at December 31, 2005. Checking accounts increased by $63.5 million, or 7.1% annualized, to $1.85 billion at June 30, 2006, from $1.78 billion at December 31, 2005. Savings account balances decreased by $18.2 million, or 3.8% annualized, during the first half of 2006, reflecting the migration of savings balances to higher-yielding money market and CD accounts. CDs decreased by $70.2 million, or 4.0% annualized, during the first half of 2006, reflecting the highly competitive pricing for deposits in the market. The average cost of deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased to 3.22% from 2.72% for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, reflecting the increase in market interest rates.

Loan Growth

Total loans, including loans held for sale, increased by $187.8 million, or 6.3% annualized, during the six months ended June 30, 2006, following the sale of $423.7 million of commercial real estate and multifamily loans. The sale of these loans is part of the Company's strategy to reduce its concentration in commercial real estate and multifamily loans and increase its commercial business loans and trade finance facilities. Prior to the loan sales, the total loans increased by $611.5 million, or 10.2%, during six months ended June 30, 2006. Loans held in portfolio increased by $104.4 million, or 3.6% annualized, during the first half of 2006, to $5.94 billion, reflecting the strong growth in commercial business and construction loan commitments, offset by the planned reduction in commercial real estate and multifamily real estate loans. This compares with loans held in portfolio of $5.84 billion at December 31, 2005. Loans held for sale increased by $83.4 million, or 106.4% annualized, during the first half of 2006, to $240.2 million. This compares with loans held for sale of $156.7 million at December 31, 2005.

The Bank continued to expand its commercial lending activities in the California, Greater China, New York, New England and Pacific Northwest markets. During the second quarter of 2006, loan growth remained concentrated in the Bank's commercial business loan portfolio and construction loan portfolio. Commercial business loans totaled $1.13 billion at June 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $263.0 million, or 60.9% annualized, compared with the $863.9 million of commercial business loans as of December 31, 2005. Construction loans totaled $709.2 million at June 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $214.4 million, or 86.6% annualized, compared with the $494.8 million of construction loans as of December 31, 2005. With the strong commercial business loan and construction loan commitments in the second quarter of 2006, the Company expects solid growth of these higher-yielding assets through the remainder of 2006 as the commitments continue be drawn upon and as new commitments are generated during the year.

Loan Commitments

New loan commitments of $923.9 million for the second quarter of 2006 were comprised of $885.9 million of commercial loans and $38.0 million of consumer loans. Since the third quarter of 2005, the Company has been executing on its strategy to build origination Origination

Notes:
Also known as loan origination, everyone must go through the origination process when securing a mortgage for a piece of real
 volume of commercial business and construction loans and decrease its concentration in commercial real estate and multifamily loans. Commercial business loan originations increased by 99.4% to $332.2 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared with $166.6 million in the second quarter of 2005. Construction loan commitments of $307.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 represent an 84.9% increase over construction loan commitments of $166.0 million in the corresponding quarter of 2005. Commercial real estate loan originations decreased 51.9% to $197.6 million in the second quarter of 2006, from $410.7 million in the second quarter of 2005. Multifamily loan originations were $49.1 million for the second quarter of 2006, a decrease of $341.4 million, or 87.4%, from $390.5 million of multifamily loan originations in the second quarter of 2005. Consumer loan originations were $38.0 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared with $55.5 million in the second quarter of 2005.

Credit Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

Total nonperforming assets as of June 30, 2006, were $16.1 million, or 0.19%, reflecting management's continued focus on maintaining high credit quality assets. This compares with total nonperforming assets of $12.2 million, or 0.17%, at June 30, 2005. Net loan charge-offs were $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared with net loan recoveries of $45,000 for the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The second quarter 2006 loan charge-offs were isolated almost exclusively in two commercial business loan credits which were previously fully reserved. Annualized net loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2006 were 0.16%, compared with 0.00% for the corresponding quarter of 2005.

The ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans held in portfolio was 0.99% at June 30, 2006, compared with 1.11% at December 31, 2005. The decrease in the ratio of allowance for loan losses is primarily the result of loan loss factor refinements and improvements in credit classifications on certain loans. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 366.58%, compared with 337.33% at December 31, 2005. Including the credit reserve for unfunded commitments, the total reserve ratio to portfolio loans was 1.08% at June 30, 2006, compared with 1.16% at December 31, 2005.

Securities

The securities portfolio was $1.54 billion at June 30, 2006, compared with $1.43 billion at December 31, 2005. The securities portfolio was 18.6% of total assets at June 30, 2006, compared with 17.9% of total assets at December 31, 2005. The Company's long-term Long-term

stockholders' equity.

(4) Interest rate spread represents the difference between the average
yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities.

(5) Net interest margin represents net interest income divided by
