See accompanying notes. 7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Security Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. CONTRACTS, MORTGAGES, FINANCE NOTES, AND LOANS RECEIVABLE: The Company's contracts, finance notes, and loans receivable consist primarily of short-term construction and real estate development loans. Contracts, mortgages, finance notes, and loans receivable are stated at the unpaid principal balance, plus accrued interest, less acquisition discounts, unearned loan fees, and an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts, as necessary. Management evaluates receivables which may not be fully collectible to determine if a provision for loss is necessary based on the present value of expected future cash flows from the receivables in the ordinary course of business or from amounts recoverable through foreclosures and the subsequent resale of the collateral. Contracts, mortgages, finance notes, and loans receivable are placed on nonaccrual status when collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Interest income previously accrued on these loans, but not yet received, is reversed in the current period to the extent that it is considered uncollectible. Interest subsequently recovered is credited to income in the period collected. 8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance for loan losses is based on management's evaluation of each specific loan. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information such as adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, current economic conditions, and independent appraisals, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect, on a timely basis, all principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loan's original agreement. The amount of the impairment is measured using cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except when it is determined that the sole source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the underlying collateral. In such cases, the current value of the collateral, reduced by anticipated selling costs, is used in place of discounted cash flows. Generally, when a loan is deemed impaired, current period interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on such impaired loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash in excess of any amounts charged off to the allowance for loan losses is received and where the future collection of principal is probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Contracts, mortgages, finance notes, and loans receivable are charged off when management believes there has been permanent impairment of their carrying values. SALES OF REAL ESTATE: Profit on sale of real estate is recognized when the buyers' initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate (1) a commitment to fulfill the terms of the transaction, (2) that collectibility of the remaining sales price due is reasonably assured, and (3) the Company maintains no continuing involvement or obligation in relation to the property sold and has transferred all the risk and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Receipts on sales of real estate investments are accounted for as customer deposits until the principal payments received on the sales contracts exceed the minimum guidelines for gain recognition. Losses arising from sales of real estate are recognized immediately upon sale. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period's financial statements in order to conform with the current period financials. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income (loss) or equity. 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2 - BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING Information about the Company's separate continuing business segments as of and for the nine months ended April 30, 2003 and 2002, is as follows:

The Company has determined that its reportable business segments are those that are based on its method of disaggregated internal reporting. The Company's reportable business segments are its commercial loan origination business and its rental and receivable operations. Its commercial loan origination business, operated as Cornerstone Realty Advisors, Inc., originates commercial construction loans throughout the western United States. The rental and receivable operations represent the selling and leasing of real properties and the financing of contracts and loans collateralized by real estate. Some unallocated general corporate expense items are part of the rental and receivable segment reporting. Management decided to dissolve its 100% owned subsidiary, Cornerstone Realty Advisors, Inc., as of its corporation license expiration date of March 31, 2002. Commercial lending activities are now being conducted through the parent company. 10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 150 to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT Subsequent to April 30, 2003, the Company sold a rental property located in Boise, Idaho, for approximately $1,024,000, resulting in a loss of approximately $218,000. The net book value of this commercial building was approximately $1,204,000. 11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY: At April 30, 2003, the Company had total stockholders' equity of approximately $5,476,000 and a total liabilities to equity ratio of 3.93 to 1, which decreased from 5.16 to 1 at July 31, 2002. During the fiscal year-to-date, the Company's primary sources of funds were approximately $15,289,000 in real estate contract and loan collections and $3,714,000 in net proceeds from the sales of real estate. The primary uses of funds were approximately $14,904,000 for net debt reduction, approximately $1,741,000 for investments in contracts and loans receivable, $1,171,000 for property improvements, and $583,000 for operating activities. The Company's sources of liquidity traditionally have included the issuance of debentures under the auspices of the Washington State Securities Division of the Department of Financial Institutions and borrowings from various bank lenders. These sources of liquidity are limited either by the Washington State Securities Division who has capped the amount of debentures the Company may sell or by the individual banks through covenants included in the lines of credit loan agreements. An additional source of liquidity is the issuance of participation interests in certain loans originated by the Company. The total of these non-recourse participations was approximately $2,145,000 at April 30, 2003, and $3,495,000 at July 31, 2002. At April 30, 2003, the Company's outstanding banking agreements totaled approximately $5,550,000 with an additional $6,411,000 due for installment contracts, mortgage notes, and notes payable. During the quarter ended April 30, 2003, the Company induced a borrower with a discount of $318,000 (10%) on a contract of approximately $3,181,000 to pay off and provide funds to pay off the Company's bank line on March 3, 2003. The bank continues to work with the Company on a loan that was paid down to $880,000 on March 3, 2003, and that is collateralized by a Company loan to a borrower who filed for bankruptcy. The bank has agreed to extend the loan for a period of six months to September 3, 2003, with interest only paid monthly. After six months the loan will be evaluated based on market and other business conditions. Another financial institution the Company has relied upon as a source of funding for its commercial real estate loans has indicated they are terminating (nationally) all or nearly all, commercial warehouse lines of credit. This financial institution agreed to work with the Company to allow a current loan totaling approximately $1,858,000 to pay off as it matured. The final payoff occurred in May 2003 subsequent to the quarter ended April 30, 2003. Management does not believe that this line of credit can be quickly replaced by another lender. This will materially impact the Company's liquidity and profitability. Due to the restrictive banking agreements, the Company has essentially stopped making new loans and has concentrated on collection efforts to pay down outstanding debt. These collection efforts include foreclosure proceedings on several loans. 12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED): The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations along with real estate and receivable sales will be sufficient to provide for the retirement of maturing debentures and mortgage obligations. The Company has begun to implement strategies for restructuring, which include liquidating a majority of the Company's assets over the course of the next year. The Company has reduced personnel during the year, incurring restructuring charges exceeding $300,000 for severance payments and employment contracts for seven employees. Six employees have continued to work for the Company after the April 30, 2003, employment contract ending date. It is management's intention that the Company will continue to own and invest in commercial real estate upon completion of the restructuring, at which time management intends to evaluate the opportunities to continue financing commercial real estate in light of market conditions and available capital. The Company's management is continuously evaluating loans for collectibility. Additional provisions for loan losses may be required as the Company analyzes each loan during its efforts to reduce outstanding loans receivable. Litigation may be required in the course of collection. In addition, the Company's position relative to bankruptcy filings by borrowers must be assessed. No additional provision for loan loss was made during the quarter ending April 30, 2003. The allowance for loan loss includes a 100% allowance on a Bellevue, Washington, loan of approximately $669,000. The Bellevue loan borrower filed for bankruptcy protection on June 6, 2002. A judgment has been sought for the balance owed. The borrower on a Park City, Utah, loan filed for bankruptcy protection on May 1, 2002. The Company's principal portion of this loan totaled $1,250,000 and is expected to be recovered through the sale of the foreclosed property that was acquired through a trustee's sale after the bankruptcy stay was lifted in December 2002. The Company was stayed in foreclosure proceedings on three Eagle, Idaho loans when the borrower filed for bankruptcy protection on December 19, 2002. A total allowance for loan loss of $269,000 has been provided against loans receivable totaling approximately $2,460,000. A trustee's sale has been scheduled for June 12, 2003, and the Company is negotiating with the borrower and other interested parties. On a Kirkland, Washington, loan of approximately $140,000, the allowance for loan loss is $100,000. The borrower was forced into involuntary bankruptcy by unsecured creditors. A trustee's sale of the property scheduled for May 9, 2003, was postponed. The Company is currently assessing its potential for recovery. The borrower on two loans totaling approximately $995,000 filed for bankruptcy in March 2003. The loans are collateralized by eight lots, including one partially finished house and eleven acres of land in Oakland Hills, California. The Company is currently assessing its potential for recovery and has made no provision for loan loss on these loans. 13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (THREE MONTHS): The Company's net loss for the quarter ended April 30, 2003, was approximately $658,000 compared with a net loss of approximately $442,000 for the quarter ended April 30, 2002. The change was primarily attributable to a reduction of $224,000 in net interest income, an increase of $318,000 in contract discount expense, an increase of $151,000 in salaries and commission, and a $104,000 increase in pre-tax loss on sales of real estate offset by a decrease of $351,000 in the provision for loan losses, a decrease of $81,000 in general and administrative expense, an increase of $36,000 in net rental income, and an increase of $111,000 in income tax benefit in the quarter ended April 30, 2003, compared with the similar period in 2002. Rental revenue increased by approximately $47,000 (15%) to approximately $354,000 in the quarter ended April 30, 2003, from approximately $307,000 in 2002. This increase primarily resulted from increased rents from new tenants in the Peyton and Pier 1 Buildings offsetting reduced rents from properties sold during the prior year. Rental property expenses were approximately $11,000 (3%) higher in 2003 than for the comparable three months in 2002. This increase was due to increased operating expense of $41,000 (27%) primarily due to new parking garage charges that more than offset decreased interest expense of $29,000 (31%) and decreased depreciation of $1,000 (1%). Salaries and commissions were approximately $151,000 (70%) higher for the quarter ended April 30, 2003, than the comparable three months in 2002 due to one-time payments of approximately $231,000, made under employment contracts to employees as part of restructuring charges. These one-time charges, a portion of which was previously accrued as restructuring charges in general and administrative expense, more than offset the costs saved by reducing personnel during the quarter. Interest income, including loan fees, decreased approximately $392,000 (58%) for the three months ended April 30, 2003, compared with the similar period in 2002 as the variable interest rate on contracts and loans receivable decreased during the period and the total amount of receivables declined. Loan fees declined approximately $80,000 (57%) to $61,000 from $141,000 because of a lack of new loan originations. Interest expense, exclusive of interest on debt associated with rental properties, net of amounts capitalized, decreased approximately $168,000 (35%) in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the same 2002 period primarily due to a reduction in interest-bearing debt. General and administrative expense decreased approximately $81,000 (48%) for the three months ended April 30, 2003, compared with the same period in 2002, primarily because some previously accrued restructuring charges were reversed and paid as salaries and commissions. The contract discount of $318,000 was provided to a borrower to induce the payoff of a $3,181,000 contract receivable. 14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (THREE MONTHS) (CONTINUED): No provision for loan loss was made in the quarter ended April 30, 2003, compared with $351,000 provided in the same period in 2002 as management determined the existing allowance was adequate. The Company's effective income tax rate as a percentage of income (loss) before federal income tax was approximately 34.0% in 2003 and 2002. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (NINE MONTHS): The Company's net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2003, was approximately $1,727,000 compared with net income of approximately $453,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to approximately $2,121,000 in pre-tax reduction in gain on sales of real estate in 2003 compared to 2002, a decrease of $900,000 in net interest income, an increase of $318,000 in contract discount expense, an increase of $101,000 in general and administrative expenses offset by a decrease of $171,000 in the provision for loan losses. Rental revenue decreased approximately $173,000 (14%) in the nine months ended April 30, 2003, compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2002. This primarily resulted from decreased rents due to sales of rental properties, including an apartment complex and an office building in October 2001. Rental property expense was approximately $184,000 (14%) lower in 2003 than for the comparable nine months in 2002. This resulted from decreased operating expense of approximately $31,000 (6%), decreased interest expense of $95,000 (29%), and a decrease in depreciation of $58,000 (14%). Interest income, including loan fees, was approximately $1,218,000 (50%) less for the nine months ended April 30, 2003, compared with the similar period in 2002 as interest earned on the average outstanding balance in contracts and notes receivable decreased during the period. Loan fees declined approximately $467,000 (70%) primarily due to a lack of new loans originated by the Company. Interest expense, exclusive of interest on debt associated with rental properties, net of amounts capitalized, was approximately $318,000 (21%) less in 2003 than in 2002 primarily due to a reduction in outstanding debt and a decrease in interest rates on borrowings tied to bank prime rates. Salaries and commissions were approximately $57,000 (7%) higher in the nine months ended April 30, 2003, than for the comparable nine months in 2002, primarily because one-time restructuring expenses for severance payments and employment contracts for certain employees were incurred in 2003 and more than offset the costs saved by reducing personnel. 15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (NINE MONTHS) (CONTINUED): General and administrative expense increased approximately $101,000 (21%) in the nine months ended April 30, 2003, compared with the similar period in 2002 primarily because of increases in legal fees and real estate taxes. The contract discount of $318,000 was provided to a borrower to induce the payoff of a $3,181,000 contract receivable. The provision for loan loss was approximately $171,000 (23%) less in 2003 than 2002 as the Company continued to aggressively pursue legal remedies (including foreclosure actions) to collect outstanding receivables. The Company's effective income tax rate as a percentage of income before federal income tax was approximately 34.0% in 2003 and 2002 resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $890,000 in 2003 compared with an expense of approximately $234,000 in 2002. 16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company does not believe that there has been a material change in its market risk since the end of its last fiscal year. ITEM 4.
