LIFE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2001
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LIFE Financial Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, LIFE Bank (formerly Life Savings Bank, Federal Savings Bank), (the "Bank"), Life Financial Insurance Services, Inc. and Life Investment Holdings, Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full year ending December 31, 2001.

    Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

    Certain amounts reflected in the 2000 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where practicable, to conform to the presentation for 2001.

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as ether assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those derivatives at fair value. The accounting for the gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives depends on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. In May 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133," that amends SFAS No. 133 and defers the effective date to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

    In addition, in June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (FAS 141), Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142 (FAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FAS 141, effective June 30, 2001, requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting; the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting is eliminated. FAS 141 also establishes how the purchase method is to be applied for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. This guidance is similar to previous generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, FAS 141 establishes additional disclosure requirements for transactions occurring after the effective date. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

    FAS 142 eliminates amortization of goodwill associated with business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. During a transition period from July 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001, goodwill associated with business combinations completed prior to July 1, 2001 will continue to be amortized through the income statement. Effective January 1, 2002, all goodwill amortization expense will cease

5


and goodwill be assessed (at least annually) for impairment at the reporting unit level by applying a fair-value based test. FAS 142 also provides additional guidance on acquired intangibles that should be separately recognized and amortized, which could result in the recognition of additional intangible assets, as compared with previous GAAP. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 2—Regulatory Matters

    On September 25, 2000, the Company consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the "Order") by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") which requires that the Company, among other things, contribute $5.2 million to the capital of the Bank, not later than December 31, 2000, subject to extension by the OTS.

    Also, on September 25, 2000, the Bank entered into a Supervisory Agreement with the OTS that requires the Bank, among other things, to achieve a core capital of at least 6.0% and a total risk-based capital of at least 11.0% by March 31, 2001. In calculating these ratios, the Bank must double risk weight the amount of all loans, in excess of capital, that are secured by owner-occupied 1 - 4 family residential property with a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 90% or greater unless the loan has appropriate credit support. Additionally, the Bank must risk weight all subprime loans it holds at double the regularly prescribed risk weighting.

    In March 2001, the OTS issued a Prompt Corrective Action Directive (the "PCA Directive") requiring the Bank, among other things, to raise sufficient capital through securities issuance to achieve the following capital levels by June 30, 2001: Total risk-based capital of 8.0%; Tier 1 risk-based capital of 4.0%; and Leverage ratio of 4.0%, or as an alternative, to recapitalize by merging or being acquired prior to September 30, 2001.

    The additional $5.2 million capital contribution has not been raised. Since the Bank has failed to raise the capital, the OTS and the Bank have entered into a Marketing Assistance Agreement and Consent to the Appointment of a Conservator or Receiver as of October 25, 2001. However, in November the Company entered into an agreement to issue $12,000,000 in notes and warrants to purchase 1,166,400 shares. The Company intends to utilize the proceeds from the issuance of the notes to infuse capital into the Bank, purchase certain assets from the Bank, and settle other obligations. The closing of the transaction is expected to take place during the first quarter of 2002. At that time, all the stipulations of the PCA Directive, Order to Cease and Desist, and Supervisory Agreement will be met.

    The OTS has issued a letter of non-objection to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement except for a requirement in the agreement that requires the OTS to assign to the Bank a composite rating of no higher than "3" and provided that certain conditions are met. The conditions include the analysis and final approval of an He(1) application to be filed by the investor and any individuals required to join in the application.

    A special meeting of shareholders will be scheduled in September or October of 2001 to vote on the proposals related to the agreement. Shareholders of record on August 1, 2001 will have the right to vote on the proposals.

Note 3—Earnings (Loss) Per Share

    The table below sets forth the Company's earnings (loss) per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

    Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders including common stock equivalents, such as outstanding stock options by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computations for loss per share assuming dilution for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 2001 were anti-dilutive. The outstanding shares for three and six months ending June 30, 2000 and 2001 have been adjusted for the 1:5 reverse stock split approved by the shareholders at the June 7, 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

    Earnings (loss) per share reconciliation is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    The following presents management's discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and operating results of the Company for the six and three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

    The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. Actual results may differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to, the following risks: (1) Changes in the performance of the financial markets, (2) Changes in the demand for and market acceptance of the Company's products and services, (3) Changes in general economic conditions including interest rates, presence of competitors with greater financial resources, and the impact of competitive projects and pricing, (4) the effect of the Company's policies, (5) the continued availability of adequate funding sources, (6) actual prepayment rates and credit losses as compared to prepayment rates and credit losses assumed by the Company for purposes of its valuation of mortgage derivative securities (the "participation contract"), (7) the effect of changes in market interest rates on the spread between the coupon rate and the pass through rate and on the discount rate assumed by the Company in its valuation of its participation contract, and (8) various legal, regulatory and litigation risks.

GENERAL

    The Company, a Delaware corporation organized in 1997, is a savings and loan holding company that owns 100% of the capital stock of the Bank, the Company's principal operating subsidiary. The Company's primary business is community retail banking and real estate lending.

    The Bank was founded in 1983 as a state chartered savings and loan and became a federally chartered stock savings bank in 1991. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB"), which is a member bank of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank's deposit accounts are insured up to the $100,000 maximum amount currently allowable under federal laws by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which is a separate insurance fund administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank is subject to examination and regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and the FDIC. The Bank is further subject to regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB") concerning reserves required to be maintained against deposits and certain other matters.

    The Bank operates five full-service branches located in our market area of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange Counties, California. The Bank offers a variety of products and services for consumers and small businesses, which include checking, savings and money market accounts as well as certificates of deposit. The Bank originates and purchases conforming and jumbo prime credit quality real estate secured loans through a network of approved mortgage brokers within the state of California. Additionally, the Bank originates residential construction loans on a retail basis in Southern California. The Bank funds its lending activities primarily with retail deposits obtained through its branches and advances from the FHLB of San Francisco. Advances from the FHLB need to be approved by their credit committee and are limited to overnight borrowings.

    The Company's principal sources of income are the net spread between interest earned and the interest costs associated with deposits and other borrowings used to finance its loans and investment portfolio.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Total assets of the Company were $313.2 million at June 30, 2001 compared to $414.4 million at December 31, 2000. The $101.2 million decrease in total assets from December 31, 2000 was primarily a result of a $82.0 million decrease in the loan portfolio.

Loans

    Loans totaled $234.7 million at June 30, 2001 compared to $316.7 million at December 31, 2000, or a decrease of $82.0 million. The decrease includes loans sold of $29.3 million resulting in a gain of approximately $132,000. Additionally, the Bank originated $5.5 million in loans during the six months ending June 30, 2001. Together with loan purchases of $5.0 million, total loan production for the six months ending June 30, 2001 was $10.5 million with principal repayments totaling $61.4 million.

    For the six months ending June 30, 2000, the Bank originated $152.9 million in loans. The Bank's loan production total for the six months ending June 30, 2000 was $369.1 million and included $216.2 million of purchased loans. Loan sales totaled $344.1 million for the six months ending June 30, 2000.

    The reduction in loan production is the result of ceasing the origination of loans for sale and of the Bank's stated intent to originate higher credit quality loans and to eliminate subprime originations. The reduction in loans and in new loan production was partially the result of managements efforts to comply with the Prompt Corrective Action Directive issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision on March 23, 2001.

Allowance for Loan Losses

    For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company made a $1.2 million provision for loan losses compared to no provision during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

    Allowance for loan losses totaled $4.1 million and $5.4 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. During the three months ending June 30, 2001 the Company transferred $1.3 million from General Loss Allowance to Specific Allowance. The June 30, 2001 allowance for loan losses as a percent of total impaired loans was 21.67%, compared to 20.18% at December 31, 2000. Impaired loans, as a percent of gross loans was 7.75% at June 30, 2001, compared to 7.96% at December 31, 2000.

    The Company's determination of the level of the allowance for loan losses and correspondingly, the provision for loan losses, rests upon various judgments and assumptions, including current economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loan loss experience and industry trends. Given the composition of the Company's loan portfolio, the $4.1 million allowance for loan losses was considered adequate to cover losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio at June 30, 2001. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any particular period, sustain loan losses that exceed the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluation of the loan portfolio, in light of the prevailing factors, including economic conditions which may adversely affect the Company's or the Bank's service area or other circumstances, will not require significant increases in the loan loss allowance. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically

11


review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional provisions to increase the allowance or take charge-offs in anticipation of future losses.

Impaired loans consisted of all loans 90 days past due. Also included are foreclosures in process less than 90 days of $1.2 million and $4.5 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

Participation Contract

    The Bank continues to carry the Participation Contract at $4.4 million, which was the value presented in the December 31, 2000 financial statement. The Bank does not believe there is an active market for this type of asset and has determined the estimated fair value utilizing a cash flow model which determines the present value of the estimated expected cash flows from this contract using a 40% discount rate which the Bank believes is commensurate with the risks involved. Additionally, the Bank is not accreting the discount, at this time, due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the asset.

13


Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity

    Total liabilities of the Company decreased from $400.5 million at December 31, 2000 to $300.8 million at June 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily from decreases in deposits and reduced borrowing requirements.

    Total Bank deposits at June 30, 2001 was $276.6 million, compared to $345.1 million at December 31, 2000. The 19.85% decrease in deposits from December 31, 2000 is primarily due to decreases in wholesale and broker deposits. The Bank's strategy continues to focus more heavily on increasing retail deposits through the growth of both local consumer and business accounts to reduce reliance on other borrowings. Previously the Company utilized brokered deposits, but according to the OTS' Prompt Corrective Action guidelines for undercapitalized institutions, the Bank cannot renew existing brokered deposits. At June 30, 2001, all brokered deposits have matured and the accounts have been closed.

    Other borrowings as of June 30, 2001 was $20.0 million compared to $47.1 million at December 31, 2000. The $27.1 million decrease is due to reduced borrowing requirements with the decrease in loans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Results for the quarter and year-to-date ended June 30, 2001 are compared to the quarter and year-to-date ended June 30, 2000 below.

Highlights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000:

    The Company reported a net loss of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, or $0.94 loss per share, compared with net gain of $125,000, or $0.09 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Net loss year-to-date for 2001 is $1.3 million, or $0.94 loss per share, compared to net loss of $649,000, or $0.49 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

    The loss of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 included a $634,000 mark-to-market adjustment related to the reclassification of non-performing loans to loans held for sale. For the six months ended June 30, 2001 the loss of $1.3 million included one-time gains of $544,000 from the sale of investment securities, $102,000 from the sale of servicing rights, and $132,000 from the sale of subprime loans.

    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's noninterest expense decreased in comparison to the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, by $3.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The decrease in noninterest expense is consistent with the reduction in the scale of operations and is a result of conscious efforts by management to gain efficiencies.

Net Interest Income:

    The Company's net interest income before provision for credit losses decreased 54.0% to $1.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Additionally, net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 decreased $4.2 million from June 30, 2000. The decline is primarily due to the decrease in loans outstanding and loan yield. Average loans for the six months ending June 30, 2001 decreased $180.5 million from the same prior year period. Additionally, the average loan yield was 50 basis points lower during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

    For the three months ending June 30, 2001, the Company's net interest margin was 2.52% as compared to a net interest margin of 3.29% during the same period in 2000. The change in the Company's net interest margin was primarily due to the above mentioned loan yield decrease. Average

14


interest bearing deposits cost was 5.73% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 5.82% for June 30, 2000. For the six months ending June 30, 2001, the Company's net interest margin was 2.54% as compared to a net interest margin of 3.31% during the same period in 2000.

Provision for Loan Losses:

    The provision for loan loss was $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase is comprised of $1.8 million increase in charge-offs, the aforementioned $634 thousand mark-to-market adjustment, partially offset by a reduction in the provision for the decrease in loans outstanding. Additionally, the change in provision

for loan loss increased the allowance for loan loss as a percentage of loans held for investment from 1.61% at year ended December 31, 2000 to 1.68% at six months ended June 30, 2001.

Noninterest Income (loss)

    Noninterest income was $981,000 and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $2.8 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. This decrease in noninterest income is primarily due to reduced loan servicing and mortgage banking fee income in the six months ended June 30, 2001 due to the restructuring of the Company.

Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest expense was $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, which was $3.4 million lower than the same period in 2000. The 50.0% decrease is primarily a result of reduced compensation expense of $1.9 million related to reduction in personnel, and a $473 thousand decrease in premises and occupancy related to the closure of the mortgage banking offices and a retail branch location during 2000. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $7.3 million compared to $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

LIQUIDITY

    The Company's primary sources of funds are principal and interest payments on loans and deposits. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. However, the Company has continued to maintain the required minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations. This requirement, which may be varied at the direction of the OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The Bank's average liquidity ratios were 15.50% and 5.69% for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

    The Company's cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities was ($2.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to ($4.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Net cash provided by investing activities was $114.0 million and $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001 was a result of principal collections on loans of $61.4 million, sale of subprime loans of $30.7 million and the decrease in securities held under repurchase agreements of $25 million. Principal collections on loans of $28.9 million offset partially by the net increase in securities of $22.5 million were the primary components of cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Net cash used in financing activities were ($95.6) million and $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This was primarily due to decreased deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

    The Company's most liquid assets are unrestricted cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2001, cash and short-term investments totaled $60.6 million. The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises including the utilization of a line of credit at the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) which is limited to overnight advances with new borrowings requiring FHLB credit committee approval. FHLB advances as of June 30, 2001 totaled $20.0 million.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The OTS capital regulations require savings institutions to meet three minimum capital requirements: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 3.0% leverage (core capital) ratio and an 8.0% risk-based capital ratio. The core capital requirement has been effectively increased to 4.0% because the prompt corrective action legislation provides that institutions with less than 4.0% core capital will be deemed "undercapitalized." In addition, the OTS, under the prompt corrective action regulation, can impose various constraints on institutions depending on their level of capitalization ranging from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized."

    Under the Supervisory Agreement, dated September 25, 2000, between the Bank and the OTS, the OTS is requiring the Bank to achieve a minimum individual core capital ratio of 6% and a minimum individual risked-based capital ratio of 11%. In calculating these ratios, the Bank is required to double risk weight all subprime loans and all loans in excess of capital that are secured by owner-occupied 1 - 4 family residential property with a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 90% or greater unless the loan has appropriate credit support. Appropriate credit support may include mortgage insurance, government guarantee, or readily marketable collateral that reduces the LTV ratio below 90%.

    Additionally, the Supervisory Agreement requires the Company to contribute to the Bank's capital $5.2 million. As of June 30, 2001, the capital infusion has not taken place. In October, the Board of Directors entered into a Marketing Assistance Agreement and Consent to the Appointment of a Conservator or Receiver with the OTS. The basis for the consent is the Bank is significantly undercapitalized, is in violation of the Supervisory Agreement dated September 25, 2000, the Bank is in violation of a Prompt Corrective Action Directive dated March 23, 2001, and the OTS considers the Bank to be in an unsafe and unsound condition. In November, the Company entered into an agreement to issue $12,000,000 in notes and warrants to purchase 1,166,400 shares. The Company intends to utilize the proceeds from the issuance of the notes to infuse capital into the Bank, purchase certain assets from the Bank, and settle other obligations. The closing of the transaction is expected to take place during the first quarter of 2002. At that time, all the stipulations of the PCA Directive, Order to Cease and Desist, and Supervisory Agreement will be met.

    The following table reflects the Bank's capital ratios based on ending assets at June 30, 2001 and the related OTS requirements for adequately capitalized:

    As of June 30, 2001, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate or purchase mortgage loans of $9.6 million compared to $1.4 million as of December 31, 2000. Other than commitments to originate or purchase mortgage loans, there were no material changes to the Company's commitments or contingent liabilities as of June 30, 2001 compared to the period ended December 31, 2000 as discussed in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of LIFE Financial Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2000 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Management of Interest Rate Risk

    The principal objective of the Company's interest rate risk management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk included in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the level of appropriate risk given the Company's business focus, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives and manage the risk consistent with Board approved guidelines through the establishment of prudent asset concentration guidelines. Pursuant to the guidelines, management of the Company seeks to reduce the vulnerability of the Company's operations to changes in interest rates. Management of the Company monitors its interest rate risk as such risk relates to its operating strategies. The Company's Board of Directors reviews on a quarterly basis the Company's asset/liability position. The extent of movement in interest rates, higher or lower, is an uncertainty that could have a negative impact on the earnings of the Company. There has not been a significant change in the Company's interest rate risk during the six months ending June 30, 2001.

    Between the time the Company originates loans and purchase commitments are issued, the Company is exposed to both upward and downward movements in interest rates which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Item 4. Subsequent Events

    On July 02, 2001 the Company received notification from NASDAQ that its application to transfer to the NASDAQ SmallCap Market was approved and that the hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualification Panel will be closed.

    In November, 2001 the Company entered into an agreement to issue $12,000,000 in notes and warrants to purchase 1,166,400 shares, which, if exercised would represent 47% of the Company's common stock. The Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and related documents are subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. The closing of the transaction is expected to take place during the first quarter of 2002. The Company intends to utilize the proceeds from the issuance of the notes to infuse capital into the Bank, purchase certain assets from the Bank and settle other obligations.
