See notes to consolidated financial statements. 5 United PanAm Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 (Unaudited) 1. Organization United PanAm Financial Corp. ("UFPC") was incorporated in California on April 9, 1998 for the purpose of reincorporating its business in California, through the merger of United PanAm Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation into UFPC. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to UPFC include the previous Delaware corporation. UPFC was originally organized as a holding company for Pan American Financial, Inc. ("PAFI") and Pan American Bank, FSB (the "Bank") to purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Pan American Federal Savings Bank from the Resolution Trust Corporation (the "RTC") on April 29, 1994. The Company, PAFI and the Bank are considered to be Hispanic owned. PAFI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAFI. WorldCash Technologies, Inc. ("WorldCash") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UPFC and is in the process of developing a money transfer business. 2. Basis of Presentation Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategies, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, may include forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following factors: limited operating history; loans made to credit-impaired borrowers; need for additional sources of financing; concentration of business in California; estimates involving discontinued operations; valuation of residual interests in securitizations; reliance on operational systems and controls and key employees; competitive pressure in the banking industry; changes in the interest rate environment; rapid growth of our businesses; pricing of loans in the whole loan and securitization markets; dependence on whole loan sale markets; general economic conditions; and other risks identified from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Factors That May Affect Future Results." The unaudited consolidated financial statements of UPFC include our subsidiaries, Pan American Financial, Inc., Pan American Bank, FSB and WorldCash Technologies, Inc. At this time, substantially all of our revenues are derived from the operations of the Bank and the Bank represents substantially all of our consolidated assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented in this Form 10-Q have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of financial results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 6 3. Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations Basic EPS and diluted EPS are calculated as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

4. Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statements of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 137") is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of UPFC. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 138"), which amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS 133 for certain derivative instruments and certain hedging activities. SFAS 138 is effective concurrently with SFAS 133 for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 138 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of UPFC. In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation" ("Interpretation 44"), which provides guidance only for certain issues arising from the application of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("Opinion 25"). Interpretation 44 is effective July 1, 2000, except as noted in the Interpretation, and is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of UPFC. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS 140"), which replaces SFAS 125. It revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS 125's provisions without change. SFAS 140 is effective for transfers occurring after March 31, 2001 and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. SFAS 140 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of our operations or our financial condition. 5. Operating Segments UPFC has three reportable segments: auto finance, insurance premium finance and banking. The auto finance segment acquires, holds for investment and services nonprime retail automobile installment sales contracts generated by franchised and independent dealers of used automobiles. The insurance 7 premium finance segment, through a joint venture, underwrites and finances automobile and commercial insurance premiums in California. The banking segment operates a five-branch federal savings bank and is the principal funding source for our auto and insurance premium finance segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of UPFC except for funds provided by the banking segment to the other operating segments which are accounted for at a predetermined transfer price (including certain overhead costs). UPFC's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed and reported upon separately within our operations.

(1) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, non-interest income of the Banking segment includes write-downs of $5.3 million and $10.3 million, respectively, in residual interests in securitizations arising from subprime mortgage securitizations completed in 1999. (2) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, non-interest expense includes a write-down of $1.3 million in goodwill and a $700,000 provision for office relocation expenses. 8 For the reportable segment information presented, substantially all expenses are recorded directly to each industry segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, segment results differ from the consolidated results because internal transfer pricing was used to allocate certain revenues or expenses from the mortgage segment to the banking segment. With the discontinuance of the mortgage operations, we ceased this internal allocation and, accordingly, there were no differences between segment results and consolidated results during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000:

6. Residual Interests in Securitizations UPFC classifies its residual interest in securitizations as trading securities and records them at fair market value with any unrealized gains or losses recorded in the results of operations. At September 30, 2000, residual interests in securitizations were $10.1 million compared with $21.2 million at December 31, 1999. Valuations of the residual interests in securitizations at each reporting period are based on discounted cash flow analyses. Cash flows are estimated as the amount of the excess of the weighted average coupon on the loans sold over the sum of the interest pass-through on the senior certificates, a servicing fee, an estimate of annual future credit losses and prepayment assumptions and other expenses commensurate with the risks involved. We use prepayment and default assumptions that market participants would use for similar instruments subject to prepayment, credit and interest rate risks. The assumptions used valuing the residual interests include prepayment assumptions of 5% for the first year increasing to 30%-42% thereafter, a discount rate of 15% and annual credit loss assumptions of 1.90% and 0.95% for the 1999-1 and 1999-2 residual interests, respectively. The fair market value of the 1999-1 residual interests also reflect an increase in the over- collateralization requirements as specified in the related securitization documents. Accordingly, all cashflows received in this securitization are being remitted to the senior certificate holders rather than to UPFC as the holder of the residual interests. 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ----------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations. ------------- Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding United PanAm Financial Corp.'s ("UPFC") strategies, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, may include forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward- looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following factors: our limited operating history; loans we made to credit-impaired borrowers; our need for additional sources of financing; concentration of our business in California; estimates involving our discontinued operations; valuation of our residual interests in securitizations; reliance on operational systems and controls and key employees; competitive pressure we face in the banking industry; changes in the interest rate environment; rapid growth of UPFC's businesses; our dependence on whole loan sale markets; general economic conditions; and other risks, some of which may be identified from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). General The Company UPFC is a diversified specialty finance company engaged primarily in acquiring and originating retail automobile installment sales contracts and insurance premium finance contracts financed by retail bank deposits. We market to customers who generally cannot obtain financing from traditional lenders. These customers usually pay higher interest rates than those charged by traditional lenders to gain access to consumer financing. We fund our operations principally through retail and wholesale deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and whole loan sales. UPFC commenced operations in 1994 by purchasing from the RTC certain assets and assuming certain liabilities of the Bank's predecessor, Pan American Federal Savings Bank. UPFC has used the Bank as a base for expansion into its current specialty finance businesses. In 1995, we commenced our insurance premium finance business through a joint venture with BPN Corporation ("BPN") and in 1996, we commenced our automobile finance business. In December 1999, we closed our subprime mortgage finance operations to focus on the auto lending and insurance premium finance businesses. The subprime mortgage business originated and sold or securitized subprime mortgage loans secured primarily by first mortgages on single family residences. In connection with the discontinuance of the mortgage finance division, all related operating activity is treated as discontinued operations for financial statement reporting purposes. For more information, see "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Discontinued Operations - Mortgage Finance." During the second quarter of 2000, UPFC made an investment relating to the development of a money transfer service through its subsidiary, WorldCash. WorldCash's current plan is to develop a money transfer business initially dedicated to serving the Hispanic community. This investment has yet to have a material impact on our operations. Automobile Finance In 1996, the Bank commenced its automobile finance business through its subsidiary, United Auto Credit Corporation ("UACC"). UACC acquires, holds for investment and services nonprime retail automobile installment sales contracts ("auto contracts") generated by franchised and independent dealers of used automobiles. UACC's customers are considered "nonprime" because they typically have limited credit histories or credit histories that preclude them from obtaining loans through traditional sources. As UACC provides all marketing, origination, underwriting and servicing activities for its loans, income is generated 10 from a combination of spread and non-interest income and is used to cover all operating costs, including compensation, occupancy and systems expense. Insurance Premium Finance In May 1995, the Bank entered into a joint venture with BPN under the name "ClassicPlan" (this is referred to as "IPF"). Under this joint venture, which commenced operations in September 1995, the Bank underwrites and finances private passenger automobile and small business insurance premiums in California, and BPN markets the financing program and services the loans for the Bank. The Bank lends to individuals or small businesses for the purchase of single premium insurance policies and the Bank's collateral is the unearned insurance premium held by the insurance company. The unearned portion of the insurance premium is refundable to IPF in the event the underlying insurance policy is canceled. UPFC does not sell or have the risk of underwriting the underlying insurance policy. As a result of BPN performing substantially all marketing and servicing activities, our role is primarily that of an underwriter and funder of loans. Therefore, IPF's income is generated primarily on a spread basis, supplemented by non-interest income generated from late payment and returned check fees. The Bank uses this income to cover the costs of underwriting and loan administration, including compensation, occupancy and data processing expenses. The Bank UPFC has funded its operations to date primarily through the Bank's deposits, FHLB advances, mortgage warehouse lines of credit, loan sales and mortgage loan securitizations. As of September 30, 2000, the Bank was a five- branch federal savings Bank with $302.5 million in deposits. The loans generated by our insurance premium and automobile finance businesses currently are funded and held by the Bank. The Bank generates spread income not only from loans originated or purchased by each of the principal businesses, but also from loans purchased from the RTC, from our remaining subprime mortgage loans, from the Bank's securities portfolio and from consumer loans originated by the Bank's retail deposit branches. This income is supplemented by non-interest income from its branch banking activities (e.g., deposit service charges, safe deposit box fees), and is used to cover operating costs and other expenses. 11 Average Balance Sheets The following table sets forth information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities allocated to continuing operations, respectively, for the periods shown. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 General For the quarter, we reported a loss from continuing operations of $3.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with income from continuing operations of $647,000, or $0.04 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. Including discontinued operations, we reported a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Auto contracts purchased increased from $33.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $45.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, while insurance premium finance originations decreased from $24.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $24.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. 13 Contributing to our 2000 third quarter net loss were three charges totaling $7.3 million described below. We recorded a pre-tax charge of $5.3 million during the 2000 third quarter to write-down the value of our residual interests arising from our 1999 subprime mortgage securitizations. This write-down resulted from a number of factors including; continued high levels of delinquent loans and charge-offs; increases in the over-collateralization requirements, as specified in the securitization documents; and interest rate increases passed-through to the senior certificate holders. In accordance with our policy, residual interests in securitizations are classified as trading securities and recorded at fair market value. We also recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.3 million, in the 2000 third quarter, in connection with a write-down of goodwill arising from our 1998 purchase of Norwest Financial Coast's insurance premium finance operations. The write-down reflects impairment in the value of this goodwill as a result of a decline in future benefits expected to be received from this acquisition and a change in market conditions involving a decline in loans outstanding. Most of this decline is a result of lower insurance premiums in California and significant competition from direct bill payment programs utilized by insurance companies, which has reduced the amount of premiums available for financing. During the 2000 third quarter, we also recorded a pre-tax provision of $700,000 for the relocation of our corporate and executive offices from San Mateo, California to Orange County, California. This provision includes primarily severance costs for those individuals not expected to relocate. UPFC is relocating its executive offices, as our existing lease is expiring and this move will enable us to eliminate some redundant operations by combining the corporate offices with those of our auto lending business. Interest Income Our interest income increased from $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, due primarily to a $195.9 million increase in average interest earning assets, partially offset by a 3.99% decrease in the weighted average interest rate on interest earning assets. The largest components of growth in our average interest earning assets were automobile installment contracts, which increased $40.4 million and investment securities, which increased $167.4 million. The increase in auto contracts principally resulted from the purchase of additional dealer contracts in existing and new markets consistent with the planned growth of this business unit. The increase in investment securities was a result of an increase in our liquidity, reflecting the proceeds received from the sale of loans of the discontinued mortgage business. The decline in the average yield on interest earning assets was principally due to the increase in securities, which have lower yields compared to loans. Average securities, with an average yield of 6.54%, comprised 52.0% of our average interest earning assets at September 30, 2000 compared to 13.2% of our average interest earning assets at September 30, 1999. Interest Expense Our interest expense increased from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, due to a $201.3 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities and a 0.72% increase in the weighted average interest rate on interest bearing liabilities. The largest component of growth in our average interest bearing liabilities was deposits of the Bank, which increased from an average balance of $108.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $272.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The increase in average deposits was due primarily to the reallocation of deposits to continuing operations compared to the year ago quarter, as sales of subprime mortgage loans (discontinued operations) reduced the average deposits allocated to these discontinued operations. The average cost of deposits increased from 4.89% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 5.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, generally as a result of an increase in market interest rates and the repricing of deposits to these higher market rates. 14 Provision for Loan Losses Our provision for loan losses was $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $99,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The provision for loan losses reflects estimated losses associated with our insurance premium finance business. The total allowance for loan losses was $16.8 million at September 30, 2000 compared with $13.5 million at September 30, 1999, representing 9.07% of loans held for investment at September 30, 2000 and 8.46% at September 30, 1999. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 6.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared with 2.57% for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase is due to higher charge-offs from subprime mortgage loan sales in connection with the wind-down of our discontinued mortgage operations. In addition to provision for losses, our allowance for loan losses is also increased by an allocation of acquisition discounts related to the purchase of automobile installment contracts. We allocate the estimated amount of acquisition discounts attributable to credit risk to the allowance for loan losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on our regular evaluation of loans held for investment and the adequacy of allowance for loan losses. We report loans held for sale at the lower of cost or market value, accordingly, loan loss provisions are not established for this portfolio. While management believes it has adequately provided for losses and does not expect any material loss on its loans in excess of allowances already recorded, no assurance can be given that economic or real estate market conditions or other circumstances will not result in increased losses in the loan portfolio. Non-interest Income Non-interest income decreased $5.3 million from $207,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to a loss of $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as a result of a $5.3 million pre-tax write-down of the value of residual interests in securitizations. The write-down resulted from a number of factors including; continued high levels of delinquent loans and charge-offs; increases in the over-collateralization requirements, as specified in the securitization documents; interest rate increases passed-through to the senior certificate holders. Non-interest Expense Non-interest expense increased $2.9 million from $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The increase in non-interest expense was driven primarily by a pre-tax charge of $1.3 million in connection with the write-down of goodwill arising from the 1998 purchase of Norwest Financial Coast's insurance premium finance operations and a $700,000 pre-tax provision for the relocation of certain of our offices. The goodwill write-down reflects impairment as a result of a decline in expected future benefits due to a change in market conditions involving a decline in loans outstanding. Most of this decline is a result of lower insurance premiums in California and significant competition from direct bill payment programs utilized by insurance companies, which has reduced the amount of premiums available for financing. The provision for office relocation expenses (consisting primarily of severance costs) is attributable to the move of the corporate and executive offices from San Mateo, California to Orange County, California. In addition, there was an increase in salaries, employee benefit costs and occupancy expenses of approximately $900,000 associated with the planned growth of the auto finance business segment. During the last 12 months, we expanded our automobile finance operations, resulting in an increase from 131 employees in 18 offices, as of September 30, 1999, to 182 employees in 27 offices, as of September 30, 2000. Income Taxes Income taxes decreased $2.4 million from $452,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to a benefit of $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This decrease occurred as a 15 result of a $6.4 million decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes between the two periods and a decrease in the effective tax rate from 41.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 37.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The decline in the effective tax rate reflects the limitation on the use of taxable net operating losses in California. Discontinued Operations - Mortgage Finance As announced on February 9, 2000, we discontinued our subprime mortgage origination operations. All related operating activity of the mortgage operations has been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. In connection with the wind-down of these operations, loan sales in the third quarter of 2000 were $19.5 million, compared with $130.6 million during the comparable quarter of 1999. We did not originate subprime mortgage loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared with the same quarter a year ago in which $249.4 million of subprime mortgage loans were originated. A loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $2.5 million was recorded in the third quarter of 1999 reflecting the operating activity for these operations during this period. During the second quarter of 2000, a charge of $3.3 million, net of tax, was recorded related to loss on disposal of our subprime mortgage finance business. This was in addition to a charge of $6.2 million, net of tax, included in our 1999 results of operations. Included in our statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2000, is a reserve of $4.5 million related to the estimated remaining costs of discontinuing the subprime mortgage operations. If actual costs of disposal are higher than anticipated, additional charges may be required in subsequent periods' results of operations. All activities related to discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2000 were charged to the discontinued operations reserve. In determining net interest income charged to discontinued operations, we included all interest income from our mortgage finance business less an allocation for interest expense. We allocated average deposits of $27.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and $193.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, and average warehouse lines of credit of $76.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, to the discontinued mortgage operations in computing interest expense. Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 General For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we reported a loss from continuing operations of $4.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share. This compares with income from continuing operations of $1.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the comparable period a year ago. Including discontinued operations, we reported a net loss of $7.4 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared with a net loss of $528,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Auto contracts purchased increased from $92.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $128.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, while insurance premium finance originations decreased from $85.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $71.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Contributing to our nine-month period net loss in 2000 were four charges described below. We recorded pre-tax charges totaling $10.3 million during the 2000 second and third quarters to write-down the value of our residual interests arising from our subprime mortgage securitizations. These write-downs resulted from a number of factors including; continued high levels of delinquent loans and charge-offs; increases in the over-collateralization requirements, as specified in the securitization documents; interest rate increases passed-through to the senior certificate holders; and a change in prepayment assumptions as a result of actual experience that was different than previous estimates. In accordance with 16 our policy, residual interests in securitizations are classified as trading securities and recorded at fair market value. We also recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.3 million, in the 2000 third quarter, in connection with a write-down of the goodwill arising from our 1998 purchase of Norwest Financial Coast's insurance premium finance operations. The write-down reflects impairment in the value of this goodwill and a decline in future benefits expected to be received from this acquisition as a result of a change in market conditions involving a decline in loans outstanding. Most of this decline is a result of lower insurance premiums in California and significant competition from direct bill programs utilized by insurance companies. During the 2000 third quarter, we also recorded a pre-tax provision of $700,000 for the relocation of our corporate and executive offices from San Mateo, California to Orange County, California. This provision includes primarily severance costs for those individuals not expected to relocate. In the 2000 second quarter, we recorded a charge of $3.3 million on an after-tax basis in connection with a write-down of our remaining subprime mortgage loan portfolio to estimated market value. This write-down was a result of further price deterioration primarily in our subprime non-performing mortgage portfolio and, to a lesser extent, from credit losses associated with other performing subprime mortgage loans. Interest Income Our interest income increased from $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, due primarily to a $108.0 million increase in average interest earning assets partially offset by a 1.06% decrease in the weighted average interest rate on interest earning assets. The largest components of growth in our average interest earning assets were automobile installment contracts, which increased $39.0 million and securities, which increased $89.1 million. The increase in auto contracts principally resulted from the purchase of additional dealer contracts in existing and new markets consistent with the planned growth of this business unit. The increase in securities was a result of an increase in our liquidity, reflecting the proceeds received from the sale of loans of the discontinued mortgage business. The decline in the average yield on interest earning assets was principally due to the increase in securities, which have lower yields compared to loans. Average securities, with an average yield of 6.51%, comprised 42.9% of our average interest earning assets at September 30, 2000 compared to 19.4% of our average interest earning assets at September 30, 1999. Interest Expense Our interest expense increased from $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, due primarily to a $112.8 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities. The largest component of growth in our average interest bearing liabilities was deposits of the Bank, which increased from an average balance of $116.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $217.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase in average deposits was due primarily to the reallocation of deposits to continuing operations compared to the year ago period, as sales of subprime mortgage loans (discontinued operations) reduced the average deposits allocated to these discontinued operations. The average cost of deposits increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from 4.75% to 5.28% for the comparable period in 2000, generally as a result of an increase in market interest rates and the repricing of deposits to these higher market rates. 17 Provision for Loan Losses Our provision for loan losses was $107,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $370,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The provision for loan losses reflects estimated losses associated with the insurance premium finance business. The total allowance for loan losses was $16.8 million at September 30, 2000 compared with $13.5 million at September 30, 1999, representing 9.07% of loans held for investment at September 30, 2000 and 8.46% at September 30, 1999. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared with 2.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. In addition to provision for losses, our allowance for loan losses is also increased by an allocation of acquisition discounts related to the purchase of automobile installment contracts. We allocate the estimated amount of acquisition discounts attributable to credit risk to the allowance for loan losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on our regular evaluation of loans held for investment and the adequacy of allowance for loan losses. We report loans held for sale at the lower of cost or market value, accordingly, loan loss provisions are not established for this portfolio. While management believes it has adequately provided for losses and does not expect any material loss on its loans in excess of allowances already recorded, no assurance can be given that economic or real estate market conditions or other circumstances will not result in increased losses in the loan portfolio. Non-interest Income Non-interest income decreased $10.4 million, from $741,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to a loss of $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as a result of a $10.3 million pre-tax write-down of the value of residual interests in securitizations. The write-down resulted from a number of factors including; continued high levels of delinquent loans and charge-offs; increases in the over-collateralization requirements, as specified in the securitization documents; interest rate increases passed-through to the senior certificate holders; and a change in prepayment assumptions as a result of actual experience that was different than previous estimates. Non-interest Expense Non-interest expense increased $4.6 million, from $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $18.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase in non-interest expense was driven primarily by a pre-tax charge of $1.3 million in connection with the write-down of goodwill arising from the 1998 purchase of Norwest Financial Coast's insurance premium finance operations and a $700,000 pre-tax provision for the relocation of certain of our offices. The goodwill write-down reflects the impairment in the value of this goodwill because of a decline in expected future benefits due to a change in market conditions involving a decline in loans outstanding. Most of this decline is a result of lower insurance premiums in California and significant competition from direct bill payment programs utilized by insurance companies. The provision for office relocation expenses (consisting primarily of severance costs) is attributable to the move of the corporate and executive offices from San Mateo, California to Orange County, California. In addition, there was an increase in salaries, employee benefit costs and occupancy expenses of approximately $2.6 million associated with the planned growth of the auto finance business segment. During the last 12 months, the automobile finance operations were expanded, resulting in an increase from 131 employees in 18 offices, as of September 30, 1999 to 182 employees in 27 offices, as of September 30, 2000. Income Taxes Income taxes decreased $3.7 million, from $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to a benefit of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This decrease occurred as a result of a $9.6 million decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes between the 18 two periods and a decrease in the effective tax rate from 41.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to 37.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The decline in the effective tax rate reflects the limitation on the use of taxable net operating losses in California. Discontinued Operations - Mortgage Finance As announced on February 9, 2000, we discontinued our subprime mortgage origination operations. In connection with the wind-down of these operations, we originated $76.4 million in mortgage loans during the first nine months of 2000 compared with $711.8 million during the comparable period of 1999. Loan sales in the first nine months of 2000 were $200.6 million, which contributed to the decline in loans held for sale from $136.5 million at December 31, 1999 to $5.0 million at September 30, 2000. A loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $2.3 million in the first nine months of 1999 reflecting the operating activity for these operations during this period. During the second quarter of 2000, a charge of $3.3 million, net of tax, was recorded related to loss on disposal of our subprime mortgage finance business. This was in addition to a charge of $6.2 million, net of tax, included in our 1999 results of operations. Included in our statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2000, is a reserve of $4.5 million related to the estimated remaining costs of discontinuing the subprime mortgage operations. If actual costs of disposal are higher than anticipated, additional charges may be required in subsequent periods' results of operations. All activities related to discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2000 were charged to the discontinued operations reserve. In determining net interest income charged to discontinued operations, we included all interest income from our mortgage finance business less an allocation for interest expense. We allocated average deposits of $79.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $197.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, and average warehouse lines of credit of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $43.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to the discontinued mortgage operations in computing interest expense. Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 Our total assets decreased $11.1 million, from $438.3 million at December 31, 1999 to $427.2 million at September 30, 2000. This decrease occurred primarily as a result of a $104.2 million decrease in loans, from $294.7 million at December 31, 1999 to $190.5 million at September 30, 2000, partially offset by a $102.9 million increase in cash and securities, from $100.3 million at December 31, 1999 to $203.2 million at September 30, 2000. The decrease in loans was comprised of a $134.3 million decrease in subprime mortgage loans as a result of the closure of the subprime mortgage origination operations and a $3.5 million decrease in loans purchased from the RTC as a result of scheduled principal amortization and prepayments, offset by a $36.1 million increase (net of unearned finance charges) in auto contracts. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $69.9 million, from $90.4 million at December 31, 1999 to $20.5 million at September 30, 2000. Securities available for sale increased from $9.9 million at December 31, 1999 to $172.7 million at September 30, 2000. Securities held to maturity were $10.0 million at September 30, 2000. There were no securities held to maturity at December 31, 1999. These increases reflected the reinvestment of the proceeds received from sales of loans of the discontinued mortgage business. Residual interests in securitizations consist of beneficial interests in the form of an interest-only strip representing the subordinated right to receive cash flows from a pool of securitized loans after payment of required amounts to the holders of the securities and certain costs associated with the securitization. Residual interests were $10.1 million at September 30, 2000 compared to $21.2 million at December 31, 1999. These residual interests were recorded in connection with two mortgage loan securitizations completed in 1999. Valuations of the residual interests are based on discounted cash flow analyses using prepayment and default assumptions that market participants would use for similar instruments subject to 19 prepayment, credit and interest rate risks. Pre-tax write-downs of the value of residual interests in securitizations totaling $10.3 million were recorded during the second and third quarters of 2000. The write-downs resulted primarily from continued high levels of delinquent loans and charge-offs and changes in prepayment and interest rate assumptions. Deposits increased $10.6 million, from $291.9 million at December 31, 1999 to $302.5 million at September 30, 2000. Retail deposits increased $13.4 million, from $276.2 million at December 31, 1999 to $289.6 million at September 30, 2000, reflecting the continued financing of the automobile and insurance premium finance business segments. Wholesale deposits decreased $2.9 million, from $15.8 million at December 31, 1999 to $12.9 million at September 30, 2000. Other interest bearing liabilities include warehouse lines of credit and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Warehouse lines of credit were $54.4 million at December 31, 1999. There were no outstanding balances at September 30, 2000 as proceeds from sales of subprime mortgage loans were used to paydown outstanding balances. Outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $45 million at September 30, 2000. There were no outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances at December 31, 1999. Shareholders' equity decreased from $75.4 million at December 31, 1999 to $67.9 million at September 30, 2000, primarily as a result of a net loss of $7.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Management of Interest Rate Risk The principal objective of our interest rate risk management program is to evaluate the interest rate risk inherent in our business activities, determine the level of appropriate risk given our operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives and manage the risk consistent with guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Through such management, we seek to reduce the exposure of our operations to changes in interest rates. The Board of Directors reviews on a quarterly basis the asset/liability position of UPFC, including simulation of the effect on capital of various interest rate scenarios. UPFC's profits depend, in part, on the difference, or "spread," between the effective rate of interest received on the loans it originates and the interest rates paid on deposits and other financing facilities which can be adversely affected by movements in interest rates. In addition, between the time we originate loans and investors' sales commitments are received, we may be exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that interest rates move upward or downward during the time the loans are held for sale. The Bank's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by the Board of Directors and management through the use of a model which estimates the change in the Bank's net portfolio value ("NPV") over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off- balance sheet instruments, and "NPV Ratio" is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The Company reviews a market value model (the "OTS NPV model") prepared quarterly by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"), based on the Bank's quarterly Thrift Financial Reports filed with the OTS. The OTS NPV model measures the Bank's interest rate risk by approximating the Bank's NPV under various scenarios which range from a 300 basis point increase to a 300 basis point decrease in market interest rates. The OTS has incorporated an interest rate risk component into its regulatory capital rule for thrifts. Under the rule, an institution whose sensitivity measure, as defined by the OTS, in the event of a 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates exceeds 20% would be required to deduct an interest rate risk component in calculating its total capital for purposes of the risk-based capital requirement. At June 30, 2000, the most recent date for which the relevant OTS NPV model is available, the Bank's sensitivity measure resulting from a 200 basis point decrease in interest rates was 2 basis points and would result in a $423,000 increase in the NPV of the Bank and a 200 basis point increase in interest rates was 25 basis points and would result in a $1.7 million decrease in the NPV of the Bank. At June 30, 2000, 20 the Bank's sensitivity measure was below the threshold at which the Bank could be required to hold additional risk-based capital under OTS regulations. Although the NPV measurement provides an indication of the Bank's interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurement is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Bank's net interest income and will differ from actual results. Management monitors the results of this modeling, which are presented to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. The following table shows the NPV and projected change in the NPV of the Bank at June 30, 2000 assuming an instantaneous and sustained change in market interest rates of 100, 200 and 300 basis points ("bp"). This table is based on data prepared by the OTS. UPFC makes no representation as to the accuracy of this data.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. However, UPFC 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 required ratio is currently 4%, and we have always met or exceeded this requirement. Management, through its Asset and Liability Committee, monitors rates and terms of competing sources of funds to use the most cost-effective source of funds wherever possible. Sales and securitizations of loans were one of the primary sources of funds for the subprime mortgage operations. Cash flows from sales and securitizations of loans were $196.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $566.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Another source of funds consists of deposits obtained through the Bank's five retail branches in California. The Bank offers checking accounts, various money market accounts, regular passbook accounts, fixed interest rate certificates with varying maturities and retirement accounts. Deposit account terms vary by interest rate, minimum balance requirements and the duration of the account. Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established by the Bank periodically based on liquidity and financing requirements, rates paid by competitors, growth goals and federal regulations. At September 30, 2000, such retail deposits were $289.6 million or 95.7% of total deposits. 21 The Bank uses wholesale and broker-originated deposits to supplement its retail deposits and, at September 30, 2000, wholesale deposits were $12.9 million or 4.3% of total deposits. The Bank solicits wholesale deposits by posting its interest rates on a national on-line service which advertises the Bank's wholesale products to investors. Generally, most of the wholesale deposit account holders are institutional investors, commercial businesses or public sector entities. Broker deposits are originated through major dealers specializing in such products. The following table sets forth the balances and rates paid on each category of deposits for the dates indicated.

However, as a result of these shorter-term deposits, the rates on these accounts may be more sensitive to movements in market interest rates which may result in a higher cost of funds. At September 30, 2000, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible capital of $40.1 million, or 9.63% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $6.2 million, or 1.5%; core capital of $40.1 million, or 9.63% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $12.5 million, or 3.0%; and risk-based capital of $33.0 million, or 14.54% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $18.1 million, or 8.0%. Leverage ratio means the ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio means the ratio of core capital to risk-weighted assets, and total risk-based capital ratio means the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets, in each case as calculated in accordance with current OTS capital regulations. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), the Bank is deemed to be "well capitalized" as of September 30, 2000. UPFC has other sources of liquidity, including FHLB advances and its cash and securities portfolio. Through the Bank, we can obtain advances from the FHLB, collateralized by its securities, mortgage loans purchased from the RTC and the Bank's FHLB stock. The FHLB functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for thrifts and certain other member financial institutions. Advances are made pursuant to several programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Limitations on the 22 amount of advances are based generally on a fixed percentage of net worth or on the FHLB's assessment of an institution's credit-worthiness. As of September 30, 2000, the Bank's available borrowing capacity under this credit facility was $63.9 million. The following table sets forth certain information regarding our short-term borrowed funds at or for the periods ended on the dates indicated.

We had no material contractual obligations or commitments for capital expenditures at September 30, 2000. At September 30, 2000, we had no outstanding commitments to originate loans, compared to $26.8 million at December 31, 1999. Lending Activities Summary of Loan Portfolio. At September 30, 2000, our loan portfolio constituted $190.5 million, or 44.6% of our total assets, of which $185.5 million, or 97.4%, were held for investment and $5.0 million, or 2.6%, were held for sale. Loans held for investment are reported at cost, net of unamortized discounts or premiums and allowance for losses. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market value. Subprime mortgage loans included in the table below are part of the discontinued mortgage operations. The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

Classified Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses We maintain an asset review and classification process for purposes of assessing loan portfolio quality and the adequacy of its loan loss allowances. Our Asset Review Committee reviews for classification all problem and potential problem assets and reports the results of its review to the Board of Directors quarterly. We have incorporated the OTS internal asset classifications as a part of its credit monitoring systems and in order of increasing weakness, these designations are "substandard," "doubtful" and "loss." Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, condition and values, questionable and there is a high possibility of loss. Loss assets are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset is not warranted. Assets that do have weaknesses but do not currently have sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the categories described above are designated as "special mention." At September 30, 2000, we had $1.2 million in assets classified as special mention, $14.0 million of assets classified as substandard, $150,000 in assets classified as doubtful and no assets classified as loss. The following table sets forth the remaining balances of all loans (before specific reserves for losses) that were more than 30 days delinquent at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans. Our general policy is to discontinue accrual of interest on a mortgage loan when it is two payments or more delinquent. Accordingly, loans are placed on non-accrual status generally when they are 60- 89 days delinquent. A non-mortgage loan is placed on nonaccrual status when it is delinquent for 120 days or more. When a loan is reclassified from accrual to nonaccrual status, all previously accrued interest is reversed. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received or the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is in accordance with the loan terms, at which time the loan is returned to accrual status. Accounts which are deemed fully or partially uncollectible by management are generally fully reserved or charged off for the amount that exceeds the estimated fair value (net of selling costs) of the underlying collateral. We do not generally modify or rewrite loans and at September 30, 2000 had no troubled debt restructured loans. 24 The following table sets forth the aggregate amount of nonaccrual loans (net of unearned discounts, premiums, unearned finance charges and specific loss reserves) at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.
September 30, December 31, 2000 1999 --------------- ----------------- Nonaccrual loans Single-family residential $ 9,281 $15,825 Multi-family residential and commercial -- 100 Consumer and other loans 570 1,060 --------- --------- Total $ 9,851 $16,985 ========= ========= Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of Total loans held for investment 5.31% 10.73% Total assets 2.31% 3.88% Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Total loans held for investment 9.07% 8.93% Nonaccrual loans 170.78% 83.24%
Real Estate Owned. Real estate acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure ("REO") is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value at the time of foreclosure. Subsequently, an allowance for estimated losses is established when the recorded value exceeds fair value less estimated selling costs. Holding and maintenance costs related to real estate owned are recorded as expenses in the period incurred. Real estate owned was $1.9 million at September 30, 2000 and $2.6 million at December 31, 1999, and consisted entirely of one to four family residential properties. Allowance for Loan Losses. The following is a summary of the changes in the consolidated allowance for loan losses of UPFC for the periods indicated.

Our policy is to maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb future losses which may be realized on UPFC's loan portfolio. These allowances include specific reserves for identifiable impairments of individual loans and general valuation allowances for estimates of probable losses not specifically identified. In addition, the allowance for loan losses is also increased by its allocation of acquisition discounts related to the purchase of automobile installment contracts. No loss provision is made for loans held for sale. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on a variety of factors, including an assessment of the credit risk inherent in the portfolio, prior loss experience, the levels and 25 trends of non-performing loans, the concentration of credit, current and prospective economic conditions and other factors. Management uses its best judgment in providing for possible loan losses and establishing allowances for loan losses. However, the allowance is an estimate, which is inherently uncertain and depends on the outcome of future events. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to increase the allowance based upon their judgment of the information available to them at the time of their examination. The Bank's most recent examination by its regulatory agencies was completed in January 2000 and no adjustment to the Bank's allowance for loan losses was required. Cash Equivalents and Securities Portfolio Our cash equivalents and securities portfolios are used primarily for liquidity and investment income purposes. Cash equivalents and securities satisfy regulatory requirements for liquidity. The following is a summary of our cash equivalents and securities portfolios as of the dates indicated.

Factors That May Affect Future Results Because we have a limited operating history, we cannot predict our future operating results. We purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Pan American Federal Savings Bank from the RTC in 1994. In 1995, we commenced our insurance premium finance business through a joint venture with BPN, and in 1996 we commenced our subprime mortgage and automobile finance businesses. Accordingly, we have only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of UPFC and its prospects can be based. For more information, see "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Because we loan money to credit-impaired borrowers, we may have a higher risk of delinquency and default. Loans made to borrowers who cannot obtain financing from traditional lenders generally entail a higher risk of delinquency and default and higher losses than loans made to borrowers with better credit. Substantially all of our auto loans are made to individuals with impaired or limited credit histories, limited 26 documentation of income or higher debt-to-income ratios than are permitted by traditional lenders. If UPFC experiences higher losses than anticipated, our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects would be materially and adversely affected. We may have to restrict our lending activities, if we are unable to maintain or expand our sources of financing. Our ability to maintain or expand our current level of lending activity will depend on the availability and terms of our sources of financing. We fund our operations principally through deposits, FHLB advances, and whole loan sales. The Bank competes for deposits primarily on the basis of interest rates and, accordingly, the Bank could experience difficulty in attracting deposits if it does not continue to offer rates that are competitive with other financial institutions. Federal regulations restrict the Bank's ability to lend to affiliated companies and limit the amount of non-mortgage consumer loans that may be held by the Bank. Accordingly, the growth of our automobile finance business will depend to a significant extent on the availability of additional sources of financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop additional financing sources on acceptable terms or at all. To the extent the Bank is unable to maintain its deposits and we are unable to develop additional sources of financing, we may have to restrict its lending activities which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. For more information, see "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources." Our California business focus and economic conditions in California could adversely affect our operations. Our lending activities are concentrated primarily in California and are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. The performance of our loans may be affected by changes in California's economic and business conditions. The occurrence of adverse economic conditions or natural disasters in California could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. If we have a higher loss on our discontinued operations than we previously estimated, additional charges could adversely affect our financial condition. We discontinued our mortgage origination operations in December 1999 and recorded a loss on disposal of $6.2 million, net of tax, in our 1999 financial statements and $3.3 million, net of tax, during the second quarter of 2000. The loss was estimated based on our plans for discontinuing these operations during the remainder of 2000. If the estimated loss on discontinued operations is higher than anticipated, additional charges may be required in subsequent periods' results of operations. If these charges are significant, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. If we incorrectly value our residual interests in securitizations, our financial condition could be adversely affected. We completed two securitizations during 1999, and as part of these securitizations have residual interests of $10.1 million at September 30, 2000. The residual interests are comprised of beneficial interests in the form of an interest-only strip representing the subordinated right to receive cash flows from the pool of securitized loans after payment of required amounts to the holders of the securities and certain costs associated with the securitization. Valuation of the retained interests in securitizations at each reporting period are based on discounted cash flow analyses using prepayment, default and interest rate assumptions that market participants would use for similar instruments. If actual prepayments, defaults and interest rates in the securitizations are different than estimates used by UPFC for valuing its retained interests, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial conditions, results of operations and business prospects. 27 Our systems and controls may not be adequate to support our growth, and if they are not adequate, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. We depend heavily upon our systems and controls, some of which have been designed specifically for a particular business, to support the evaluation, acquisition, monitoring, collections and administration of that business. There can be no assurance that these systems and controls, including those specially designed and built for UPFC, are adequate or will continue to be adequate to support our growth. A failure of our automated systems, including a failure of data integrity or accuracy, could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. If we do not retain our key employees and we fail to attract new employees, our business will be impaired. We are dependent upon the continued services of our key employees as well as the key employees of BPN. The loss of the services of any key employee, or our failure to attract and retain other qualified personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. Competition may adversely affect our performance. Each of our businesses is highly competitive. Competition in our markets can take many forms, including convenience in obtaining a loan, customer service, marketing and distribution channels, amount and terms of the loan, loan origination fees and interest rates. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than UPFC. We compete in the insurance premium finance business with other specialty finance companies, independent insurance agents who offer premium finance services, captive premium finance affiliates of insurance companies and direct bill plans established by insurance companies. We compete in the automobile finance industry with commercial banks, the captive finance affiliates of automobile manufacturers, savings associations and companies specializing in nonprime automobile finance, many of which have established relationships with automobile dealerships and may offer dealerships or their customers other forms of financing, including dealer floor plan financing and lending, which are not offered by UPFC. In attracting deposits, the Bank competes primarily with other savings institutions, commercial banks, brokerage firms, mutual funds, credit unions and other types of investment companies. Fluctuations in interest rates and general and localized economic conditions also may affect the competition we face. Competitors with lower costs of capital have a competitive advantage over UPFC. During periods of declining interest rates, competitors may solicit our customers to refinance their loans. In addition, during periods of economic slowdown or recession, our borrowers may face financial difficulties and be more receptive to offers of our competitors to refinance their loans. As we expand into new geographic markets, we will face additional competition from lenders already established in these markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with these lenders. Changes in interest rates may adversely affect our performance. Our results of operations depend to a large extent upon our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and other borrowings. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could have a material adverse effect on our net income. Further, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect demand for our financial products and services. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political conditions, which are beyond our control. UPFC's liabilities 28 generally have shorter terms and are more interest rate sensitive than its assets. Accordingly, changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the profitability of our lending activities. For more information, see "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Management of Interest Rate Risk." We may be unable to manage our growth, and if we cannot do so, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. UPFC has experienced rapid growth in its automobile finance business. In addition, we may broaden our product offerings to include additional types of consumer or, in the case of insurance premium finance, commercial loans. Further, we may enter other specialty finance businesses. This growth strategy will require additional capital, systems development and human resources. Our failure to implement a planned growth strategy would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. Dependence on loan sale markets could adversely affect our performance. We expect to sell the remaining portfolio of subprime mortgage loans in the whole loan sale market. There can be no assurance that whole loan purchasers will continue to purchase our loans, or that they will continue to purchase loans at present prices, and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. Further, adverse conditions in the asset-backed securitization market could adversely affect our ability to sell loans at present prices. Changes in general economic conditions may adversely affect our performance. Each of our businesses is affected directly by changes in general economic conditions, including changes in employment rates, prevailing interest rates and real wages. During periods of economic slowdown or recession, we may experience a decrease in demand for our financial products and services, an increase in our servicing costs, a decline in collateral values and an increase in delinquencies and defaults. A decline in collateral values and an increase in delinquencies and defaults increase the possibility and severity of losses. Although we believe that our underwriting criteria and collection methods enable us to manage the higher risks inherent in loans made to such borrowers, no assurance can be given that such criteria or methods will afford adequate protection against such risks. Any sustained period of increased delinquencies, defaults or losses would materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. Impact of inflation and changing prices may adversely affect our performance. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollar amounts without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, nearly all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services. We may face other risks. From time to time, UPFC details other risks with respect to its business and financial results in its filings with the SEC. 29 Item 3.
