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. Assets are presented at fair value
and liabilities are recorded that are expected to be incurred as part of the
liquidation of a majority of the Company's assets to meet its current and
long-term obligations.

The results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2002, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING (CONTINUED)

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., originated 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.

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 October 31, 2002, the Company had total stockholders' equity of approximately
$6,699,000 and a total liabilities to equity ratio of 5.32 to 1, which increased
from 5.16 to 1 at July 31, 2002. During the three months ended October 31, 2002,
the Company's primary sources of funds were approximately $1,137,000 in real
estate contract and loan collections and $1,838,000 in net proceeds from the
sales of real estate. The primary uses of funds were approximately $871,000 for
investments in contracts and loans receivable, approximately $1,451,000 for net
debt reduction, and $560,000 for property improvements.

The Company's sources of liquidity historically 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 restrictive covenants included in the lines of credit
loan agreements. Additionally, the Washington State Securities Division has not
yet approved the Company's application to issue additional debentures under the
Washington State Debenture Act. Approval is unlikely without significant
conditions, which may materially adversely impact the Company's liquidity and
profitability. The state of Washington has mandated as a condition for issuance
of a previous permit that the Company reduce total debentures outstanding to
$9.5 million by March 2003. The requirement to do so will materially impact the
Company's liquidity.

An additional source of liquidity is the issuance of participation interests in
certain loans originated by the Company. The total of these nonrecourse
participations was approximately $3,520,000 at October 31, 2002, and $3,495,000
at July 31, 2002.

10
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED):
At October 31, 2002, the Company's lines of credit and other banking agreements
totaled approximately $16,530,000 of which approximately $16,335,000 was
outstanding. The remaining unused portions of the lines of credit may not be
fully available to the Company to meet operational needs because of violation of
covenants at the Company's banks. One bank has also negotiated a reduction in
total line availability from $4.75 million to $4 million effective November 27,
2002. Another financial institution the Company has relied upon as a source of
funding for its commercial real estate loans has, subsequent to fiscal year end,
indicated they are terminating (nationally) from all or nearly all, commercial
warehouse lines of credit. This financial institution has presently agreed to
work with the Company to allow all current loan commitments totaling $8,968,000
to pay off as they mature, which is anticipated to occur by March 31, 2003.
Management does not currently believe that this line of credit can be replaced
by another lender. This event 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. 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 reorganizing, which include
liquidating a majority of the Company's assets over the course of the next year.
It is management's intention that the Company will continue to own and invest in
commercial real estate upon completion of the reorganization, 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.

An additional provision for loan loss of $70,000 was made during the quarter
ending October 31, 2002, bringing the total allowance for loan loss to $350,000
on a Bellevue, Washington, loan of approximately $700,000. The Bellevue loan
borrower filed for bankruptcy protection on June 6, 2002. The Company is
currently assessing its potential for recovery.

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.

Two of the Company's executives made a loan secured by a second mortgage in
2001, behind the first position mortgage of the Company, and ahead of a
cross-collateralized third position mortgage held by the Company. The second
mortgage was paid off in May 2002, putting the Company in a first and second
position. The Company is currently in foreclosure proceedings on these Eagle,
Idaho loans and has increased its provision for loan losses by $33,693 during
the quarter to a total allowance for loan loss of $269,548 against loans
receivable totaling approximately $2,466,000.


11
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



PACIFIC SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED):
As a result of a slowdown in economic activity since September 11, 2001, the
Company anticipates sales of its real estate, including foreclosed properties,
may involve delays and possible losses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (THREE MONTHS):
The Company's net loss for the quarter ended October 31, 2002, was approximately
$511,000 compared with net income of approximately $1,141,000 for the quarter
ended October 31, 2001. The change was primarily attributable to a $2,146,000
decrease in gain on sales of real estate in the quarter ended October 31, 2002,
reduction of $373,000 in net interest income, and a reduction of $113,000 in net
rental income, offset by an increase in income tax benefit of $851,000 and a
decrease of $162,000 in the provision for loan losses.

Rental property revenue decreased by approximately $266,000 (45%) to
approximately $326,000 in the quarter ended October 31, 2002, from approximately
$592,000 in 2001. This decrease primarily resulted from reduced rents from
properties sold during the year.

Rental property expenses were approximately $154,000 (29%) lower in 2002 than
for the comparable three months in 2001. This decrease was due to decreased
depreciation expense of approximately $52,000 (30%), decreased operating expense
of $73,000 (31%), and decreased interest expense of $29,000 (24%).

Salaries and commissions were approximately $66,000 (16%) lower for the quarter
ended October 31, 2002, than the comparable three months in 2001 due to lower
commissions and bonuses paid or accrued in 2002.

Interest income, including loan fees, decreased approximately $452,000 (48%) for
the three months ended October 31, 2002, compared with the similar period in
2001 as the variable interest rate on contracts and loans receivable decreased
during the period, interest on some past due loans went to nonaccrual status,
and the total amount of receivables declined. Loan fees declined approximately
$192,000 (70%) to $84,000 from $276,000 because of a lack of new loan
originations.

General and administrative expense increased approximately $94,000 (54%) for the
three months ended October 31, 2002, compared with the same period in 2001,
primarily because of legal expense increases of approximately $57,000 for
various matters and restructuring expenses of approximately $40,000 in 2002.

Interest expense, exclusive of interest on debt associated with rental
properties, net of amounts capitalized, decreased approximately $79,000 (15%) in
the first quarter of 2002 compared with the same period in 2001 primarily due to
the decrease in the rate of interest charged on bank borrowings tied to prime,
and a reduction in interest-bearing debt.

The Company's effective income tax rate as a percentage of income (loss) before
federal income tax was approximately 34% in 2002 and 2001.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEMS 1, 2, 3, 4, AND 6 - NOT APPLICABLE

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

At a special meeting of the Board of Directors on October 7, 2002, a motion was
passed which provided for the execution of employment agreements with seven
employees through a restructuring period ending April 30, 2003. These agreements
call for the payment of bonuses equal to 50% of annual pay (in lieu of one week
of severance pay for each year of service unless this is greater than 26 weeks).
A pro rata portion of these expenses has been recorded as of October 31, 2002.

On October 15, 2002, Kevin Guthrie resigned as a vice president of the Company
and began employment with a Spokane property management company, which executed
a property agreement with Pacific Security Financial, Inc. to provide services
for Pacific Security's rental properties. In addition, Kevin Guthrie has
deferred compensation of approximately $57,000 due to his separation from
Pacific Security Financial, Inc.
