PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS

Our Bank's net interest income and spread continue to improve. Net interest income of $5.5 million was earned in the quarter bringing the total net interest income earned for the year to $19.6 million versus last year's $16.9 million. This increase in net interest income was due to an increase in spread which grew from 1.21% to 1.30% and an increase in loan balances which grew from $1.15 billion last year to $1.21 billion this year. Taking into account other income which includes gains on sales of securities and loans, total revenue for the year was $32.4 million versus last year's $28.9 million. The Bank's net income before taxes for the year was $8.1 million versus last year's $11.2 million with the decrease primarily attributable to the start-up costs associated with our new Home Hardware Credit Card Program. The Bank's net income figure was adversely affected by an income tax adjustment of $1.9 million giving rise to a loss for the quarter of $907,000. For the year the Bank earned $3.8 million versus the previous year's $7.6 million.

Overall our company earned $1.4 million before taxes and Class B preferred share dividends versus last year's loss of $417,000. After taxes and Class B preferred share dividends the net loss reduced from $8.2 million to $5.1 million.

The Bank's three important new initiatives became fully operational during the year and are now being marketed throughout Canada. Our Home Hardware credit cards and receivables are rapidly producing ever increasing revenues. The net cost of the credit card program for the quarter reduced to $568,000 versus last quarter's $798,000. We expect this net cost will continue to reduce as revenues from the credit card receivables grow so that this program will become a significant net contributor in the coming years.

The Bank's new Deposit Product for the Trustees in Bankruptcy Industry is now fully operational and is already being utilized by Trustees throughout Canada. This new product will increase the diversity of our Bank's deposit gathering network and result in a significant reduction to its cost of funds.

The Bank's Bulk Financing Program is growing rapidly and we expect that this new low-risk asset class will form a significant portion of our Bank's lending assets in the quarters to come.

I am very pleased with the progress we have made during the past year. The Bank's lending operations continue to generate ever increasing spread income with only a small fraction of the industry's non-performing loans. Our Home Hardware credit card program is nearing breakeven and is likely to become a significant contributor to the Bank's overall earnings in the years to come.

In 2012 we successfully laid the foundation for solid steady growth in earnings for years to come. Not only did we launch attractive new revenue streams, but we also significantly reduced our Bank's vulnerability to external factors. For example, during the year we successfully sold the Bank's portfolio of equity securities, eliminating the Bank's vulnerability to a volatile asset class. We are confident that our Bank is now well positioned to grow steadily in the future.

Pacific & Western Bank of Canada

Income before income taxes of the Bank for the three months ending October 31, 2012 was $1.0 million compared to $9.0 million for the same period a year ago with the decrease due primarily to gains from the sale of preferred shares totalling $8.5 million a year ago compared to $nil in the current quarter and costs exceeding revenues by $568,000 in the current quarter relating to the Bank's private label credit card program which was launched in the current year. This variance in the current quarter was reduced by gains totalling $1.9 million on the sale of loans and an increase in net interest income due to growth in lending assets and increased spread. Net income (loss) for the Bank for the current period was ($907,000) compared to $6.2 million for the same period last year. Net income for the current quarter also included an income tax provision of $1.9 million relating to a change in the estimate of previously recognized deferred income tax assets of the Bank.

For the year ended October 31, 2012, income before income taxes of the Bank was $8.1 million compared to $11.2 million a year ago and included gains totalling $10.1 million on the sale of preferred shares compared to $11.7 million a year ago, gains totalling $1.9 million on the sale of lending assets compared to $nil last year, an increase in net interest income of $2.7 million on lending assets and costs exceeding revenues by $2.8 million in the current year relating to the Bank's private label credit card program. Net income of the Bank for the current year was $3.8 million compared to $7.6 million and also included the income tax provision of $1.9 million referred to above.

At October 31, 2012, total assets of the Bank were $1.53 billion compared to $1.49 billion a year ago with the increase due primarily to growth in lending assets which increased to $1.21 billion at October 31, 2012 from $1.15 billion last year. The growth in lending assets was due primarily to an increase in residential construction mortgages and bulk financings. Lending assets also increased as a result of credit card receivables totalling $23.4 million relating to the private label credit card program.

Credit quality remains strong, with gross impaired loans totalling $1.6 million at October 31, 2012 compared to $1.6 million a year ago and net impaired loans which were $23,000 compared to $73,000 a year ago.

Total Revenue

Total revenue of the Bank for the three months ended October 31, 2012 was $7.9 million compared to $13.4 million for the same period last year and for the year ended October 31, 2012, total revenue was $32.4 million compared to $28.9 million last year. Total revenue increased from a year ago due to the growth in net interest income in the current periods and gains on the sale of lending assets totalling $1.9 million this year compared to $nil last year reduced by a lower amount of gains on the sale of preferred shares in the current year.

The provision for credit losses, which is also included in total revenue, was $28,000 in the current quarter compared to $118,000 a year ago and for the year ended October 31, 2012 was $461,000 compared to $309,000 a year ago.

Net interest income increased from a year ago primarily as a result of the growth in lending assets and increased spread.

Net interest margin or spread for the Bank for the three months ended October 31, 2012 increased to 1.42% from 1.25% last year and for the year ended October 31, 2012 increased to 1.30% from 1.21% last year with the increase due to the growth in lending assets and increased spread on new loans booked in the year.

Other Income

Other income for the three months ended October 31, 2012 was $2.4 million compared to $8.8 million for the same period a year ago and for the year ended October 31, 2012 was $13.3 million compared to $12.3 million a year ago.

Non-Interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses of the Corporation, including those relating to credit card operations, totalled $6.4 million for the current quarter compared to $6.7 million for the same period a year ago and for the year ended October 31, 2012 totalled $24.1 million compared to $21.2 million last year. The increase in non-interest expenses for the year was due to increases in general and administrative expenses relating to credit card operations and increases in professional and consulting fees and other volume related expenses. Non-interest expenses relating to credit card operations totalled $860,000 for the current quarter and for the year ended October 31, 2012, totalled $3.3 million. In addition, salaries and benefits increased in the current quarter and for the year primarily as a result of increased staff in the lending and credit card areas.

Income Taxes

The Corporation's statutory federal and provincial income tax rate and that of the Bank is approximately 27% compared to 29% for the previous periods. The effective rate is impacted by the tax benefit on operating losses not being recorded for accounting purposes, non-taxable dividend income earned in the Bank's treasury portfolio, and other items not being taxable or deductible for income tax purposes with the primary item being the dividends on Class B Preferred Shares which are recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). The provision (recovery) for income taxes consists of the following items:

	$	2,165	$	5,558	$	5,840	$	6,618

For the current quarter, the provision for income taxes was $2.2 million compared to $5.6 million a year ago and includes an income tax provision of $1.9 million relating to a change in the estimate of previously recognized deferred tax assets of the Bank and an income tax provision of $205,000 in the parent company relating to income tax on dividends paid by the Corporation on its Class B Preferred Shares. The income tax provision for the same quarter last year included an income tax provision of $2.3 million relating to gains on the sale of preferred shares and a provision of $2.8 million in the parent company relating to the income tax on dividends paid by the Corporation on its Class B Preferred Shares.

For the year ending October 31, 2012, the provision for income taxes was $5.8 million compared to $6.6 million a year ago and includes the income tax provision of $1.9 million relating to unrecognized deferred tax assets of the Bank and an income tax provision of $2.7 million relating to gains on the sale of preferred shares. Last year the provision for income taxes included $3.2 million relating to gains on sale of preferred shares and a provision of $1.6 million in the parent company relating to the income tax on dividends paid by the Corporation on its Class B Preferred Shares. Also included in the provision for income taxes in the current year was a recovery of $376,000 relating to the impact on the Bank's deferred income tax asset from the change in corporate income tax rates substantively enacted during the third quarter.

At October 31, 2012, the deferred income tax asset in the Bank was $9.1 million compared to $10.6 million a year ago with the decrease due to the tax effect of the current year's results and reduced by the recording of an income tax adjustment totalling $1.9 million. The deferred income tax asset is primarily a result of income tax losses from previous periods, the benefit of which was recorded at the time. The income tax loss carry-forwards in the Bank are not scheduled to begin expiring until 2027 if unutilized.

The ultimate realization of the deferred income tax asset cannot be determined with certainty however management is of the opinion that it is probable the Bank will be able to realize the deferred income tax asset in future years. The realization of the deferred income tax asset is dependent upon the Bank being able to generate taxable income in future years sufficient to offset the income tax losses. The ability to generate sufficient taxable income may be dependent upon the Bank increasing its capital to facilitate growth in its lending assets thereby increasing income from operations.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Total comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of the net loss for the period and other comprehensive income (loss) which consists primarily of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Total comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended October 31, 2012 was ($2.7 million) compared to ($9.6 million) a year ago and for the year ended October 31, 2012, total comprehensive income (loss) was ($12.4 million) compared to ($14.9 million) last year. The differences from a year ago are due to higher amounts of unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities recorded in comprehensive income (loss) in previous years being reversed when realized in the current periods.

Segment Analysis

Commercial Lending

The commercial lending segment consists of the operations of the Bank related to issuing mortgages, loans and leases. The commercial lending segment is supported by deposit taking and treasury activities. During the three months ended October 31, 2012, income before income taxes of the commercial lending segment totalled $1.6 million compared to $9.0 million a year ago with the difference due primarily to gains on the sale of preferred shares and lending assets in the quarter which were $1.9 million compared to $8.5 million for the same period last year. For the year ended October 31, 2012, income before income taxes of the commercial lending segment totalled $10.9 million compared to $11.2 million a year ago.

For the three months ended October 31, 2012, net interest income from commercial lending totalled $5.3 million compared to $4.7 million last year and for the year ended October 31, 2012, net interest income from commercial lending totalled $19.3 million compared to $16.9 million last year with the increase due primarily to an increase in lending assets and increased spreads on new loans.

For the three months ended October 31, 2012, non-interest expenses for the commercial lending segment totalled $6.0 million compared to $4.3 million a year ago and for the year ended October 31, 2012, non-interest expenses for the commercial lending segment totalled $21.1 million compared to $17.7 million a year ago. Non-interest expenses increased from the previous periods as a result of an increase in professional and consulting fees, volume related expenses and an increase in salaries and benefits due to additional staff being hired.

Credit Card Operations

This segment consists of income and expenses related to the Bank's private label credit card program that was launched on January 2, 2012. As at October 31, 2012, credit card balances totalled $23.4 million with 25,200 credit cards issued compared to $17.8 million outstanding and 21,300 cards issued at the end of the previous quarter. For the three months ending October 31, 2012, net interest income from credit card operations totalled $196,000 and for the year, net interest income totalled $259,000. Net interest income from credit card operations was impacted by incentive programs being introduced to generate new cards being issued. Non-interest revenue from credit card operations in the form of credit card fees totalled $218,000 in the quarter and for the year totalled $593,000.

For the three months ending October 31, 2012, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses relating to credit cards of $122,000 and for the year the provision for credit losses relating to credit cards totalled $379,000. As at October 31, 2012, the collective allowance relating to credit card receivables totalled $352,000.

Non-interest expenses relating to credit card operations totalled $860,000 in the current quarter and for the year totalled $3.3 million. These expenses consisted of salaries and benefits relating to the credit card operations, expenses for activities carried out by external parties to establish certain aspects of the program and to administer processing of the credit cards, marketing and promotional costs also as part of the start-up of the programs well as general and administrative expenses.

Consolidated Balance Sheet

Total assets of the Corporation at October 31, 2012, were $1.53 billion compared to $1.49 billion a year ago with the increase due primarily to growth in lending assets which increased from $1.15 billion to $1.21 billion at October 31, 2012. The impact of the growth in lending assets was reduced by the amount of cash and securities which decreased from $313 million a year ago to $300 million at the end of the year.

Cash and Securities

Cash and cash equivalents typically consist of deposits with Canadian chartered banks, government treasury bills and bankers acceptances with less than ninety days to maturity from the date of acquisition. Securities in the Corporation's treasury portfolio typically consist of Government of Canada and Canadian provincial and municipal bonds, bankers' acceptances and corporate debt. Cash and securities, which are held primarily for liquidity management purposes, totalled $300 million or 20% of total assets at October 31, 2012 compared to $313 million or 21% of total assets a year ago. Cash and cash equivalents were $133 million of the total amount of cash and securities at October 31, 2012, compared to $195 million of the total amount a year ago. The decrease was a result of the Corporation shifting its strategy to hold higher levels of liquid securities in its treasury portfolio compared to previous years in order to comply with changes in global regulatory liquidity requirements.

At October 31, 2012, the Corporation had sold all of its holdings of preferred shares which totalled $30 million a year ago. Although the preferred shares held by the Corporation yielded an attractive after-tax rate of return, the Corporation undertook the strategy of reducing its holdings of preferred shares in order to minimize the impact on regulatory capital of mark-to-market adjustments on the preferred shares as regulatory capital includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale equity securities. As well, future changes in global banking regulations makes other financial institutions' preferred shares unattractive due to negative impacts in calculating regulatory capital.

At October 31, 2012, the net unrealized gain in the Corporation's securities portfolio was $99,000 compared to net unrealized gains of $10.1 million a year ago with the change due to gains being realized over the past year. The unrealized gains are recorded net of income taxes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The fair values of securities held in the Corporation's treasury portfolio are based primarily on market values as the securities the Corporation owns are publicly traded. The Corporation is of the view that there is no objective evidence of impairment relating to any unrealized losses on the remaining securities it owns and no impairment charges are required at this time.

Mortgages and Loans

Mortgages and loans totalled $1.21 billion at October 31, 2012, compared to $1.15 billion a year ago with the increase primarily in residential construction mortgages and bulk financings. New lending in the current quarter totalled $142 million compared to $130 million a year ago and loan repayments for the current quarter totalled $192 million compared to $114 million last year. For the current year, loan advances totalled $542 million compared to $545 million last year and loan repayments for the year totalled $480 million compared to $413 million last year. Loan repayments for the current quarter and for the year include loan sales totalling $39 million. In the current quarter the Bank sold lending assets to assist it in managing its capital levels and as well as to manage its exposure to commercial real estate.

At October 31, 2012, the Corporation's bulk financing portfolio, which consists of loans and leases acquired through its bulk financing initiative, totalled $109 million compared to $62 million a year ago. The Corporation is continuing to enter into agreements with vendors for the bulk lease financing program and expects to see accelerated growth in this market in the coming months.

Credit Quality

Gross impaired loans at October 31, 2012 totalled $1.6 million or 0.13% of total loans compared to $1.6 million or 0.14% of total loans a year ago. The Corporation has maintained its high credit quality and strong underwriting standards and requires minimal provisions for credit losses. Provisions for credit losses in the current quarter totalled $28,000 compared to $118,000 a year ago and for the year ended October 31, 2012 the provision for credit losses totalled $461,000 compared to $309,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in the provision for credit losses from a year ago was due to loan growth and credit card receivables.

At October 31, 2012 the Corporation's collective allowance totalled $3.3 million compared to $2.8 million a year ago and at October 31, 2012, the Corporation's individual allowance for credit losses totalled $1.6 million compared to $1.6 million a year ago. Included in the Corporation's collective allowance at October 31, 2012 is an amount of $352,000 relating to credit card receivables.

Based on results from ongoing stress testing of the loan portfolio under various scenarios, and the secured nature of the existing loan portfolio, the Corporation is of the view that any credit losses which exist but cannot be specifically identified at this time are adequately provided for.

Other Assets

Other assets totalled $25.0 million at October 31, 2012 compared to $26.9 million a year ago. Included in other assets is the deferred income tax asset of the Bank of $9.1 million compared to $10.6 million last year and capital assets and prepaid expenses totalling $13.7 million at October 31, 2012 compared to $13.7 million last year.

Deposits and Other Liabilities

Deposits are used as a primary source of financing growth in assets and are raised primarily through a well established and well diversified deposit broker network across Canada. Deposits at October 31, 2012 totalled $1.32 billion compared to $1.27 billion a year ago, and consist primarily of guaranteed investment certificates. Of these amounts, $26.4 million or approximately 2.0% of total deposits at the end of the year were in the form of demand deposits compared to $29.8 million or approximately 2.3% of total deposits a year ago, with the remaining deposits having fixed terms. Total deposits increased from last year in order to fund the growth in lending assets.

In order to diversify its sources of deposits and reduce its cost of new deposits, the Corporation has identified a new source, that being deposits of trustees in bankruptcy. The Corporation has developed new banking software to serve this new deposit market and launched this product on a pilot basis in April 2012. These services are now being offered to the trustees in bankruptcy industry across Canada.

A further source of financing growth in assets and a source of liquidity is the use of margin lines and securities sold under repurchase agreements. From time to time, the Corporation uses these sources of short-term financing when the cost of borrowing is less than the interest rates that would have to be paid on new deposits. At October 31, 2012, the Corporation did not have any amounts outstanding relating to margin lines or securities sold under repurchase agreements nor were any amounts outstanding a year ago.

Other liabilities consist primarily of the fair value of derivatives and accounts payable and accruals. At October 31, 2012, other liabilities totalled $32.7 million compared to $30.0 million a year ago. The fair value of derivatives at the end of the current quarter totalled $16.4 million compared to $18.5 million last year with the decrease due primarily to interest rate swaps unwound or maturing during the past year and changes in interest rates from a year ago. Under the accounting standard for hedges, the offsetting amount to the fair value of derivatives is included in the carrying values of the assets to which they relate.

Securitization Liabilities

The Corporation has securitization liabilities outstanding which relate to amounts payable to counterparties for cash received upon initiation of securitization transactions. At October 31, 2012, the amount of securitization liabilities totalled $43.4 million compared to $43.3 million a year ago. The Corporation has not entered into any securitization transactions in the current year.

The amounts payable to counterparties bear interest at rates ranging from 1.97% - 3.95% and mature between 2016 and 2020. Securitized insured mortgages with a carrying value of $41.6 million are pledged as collateral for these liabilities.

Notes Payable

Notes payable, net of issue costs, totalled $82.2 million at October 31, 2012 compared to $77.6 million a year ago with the increase due primarily to additional notes issued during the year by the Corporation. Excluding issue costs, notes payable consist of Series C Notes totalling $61.7 million maturing in 2018, a five year note in the amount of $2.0 million bearing interest at 6% and a short term note in the amount of $200,000. The Series C Notes bear interest at 9.00% per annum.

In addition, the Corporation has outstanding subordinated notes totalling $23.5 million issued by the Bank to external parties. These subordinated notes bear interest at rates ranging from 8.00% to 11.00%, are callable by the Bank, and mature between 2019 and 2022.

Preferred Share Liabilities

At October 31, 2012, the Corporation had 1,909,458 Class B Preferred Shares outstanding with a total value of $47.7 million, before deducting issue costs of $2.3 million. As these Class B Preferred Shares carry certain redemption features and are convertible into common shares of the Corporation, an amount of $41.8 million, net of issue and conversion costs, representing the fair value of the Corporation's obligation to make future payments of principal and interest has been classified on the Corporation's Consolidated Balance Sheet as Preferred Share Liabilities. In addition, an amount of $3.2 million, net of income taxes and issue costs, representing the equity portion of the Class B Preferred Shares, has been included in Shareholders' Equity on the Corporation's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. As the Class B Preferred Shares must be redeemed by the Corporation in 2019 for $47.7 million, the preferred share liability amount of $41.8 million will be adjusted over the remaining term to redemption until the amount is equal to the estimated redemption amount, with the increase included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss), calculated using an effective interest rate of 11.8%.

Liquidity

At October 31, 2012, Pacific & Western Credit Corp., on a non-consolidated basis, has sufficient funds on hand to meet its cash obligations due to the end of fiscal 2013. These obligations relate primarily to payments of interest on notes payable and the expected cash portion of dividends on Class B Preferred Shares. The funding for the obligations beyond 2013 is expected to come primarily from cash and interest income earned by the Corporation.

Shareholders' Equity

At October 31, 2012, Shareholders' Equity was $17.9 million compared to $26.8 million a year ago. Common shares outstanding at October 31, 2012 totalled 28,522,491 compared to 26,237,594 a year ago with the change due to 1,763,877 common shares issued since last year as part of the dividends on the Class B Preferred Shares and 521,020 common shares issued under a private placement. Common share options outstanding totalled 1,163,033 at the end of the year compared to 1,143,033 a year ago with the change due to common share options issued, net of common share options which expired.

In addition, the Corporation has 5,398,700 warrants outstanding at October 31, 2012 which if exercised would result in one common share being issued for $2.80, as well as 747,600 broker warrants outstanding which if exercised would result in a unit consisting of one common share and one-half warrant being issued for $2.25, and 56,070 broker warrants which if exercised would result in one warrant being issued for $0.22. All of the warrants and broker warrants expired in November, 2012.

At October 31, 2012, there were 314,572 Class A Preferred Shares outstanding, unchanged from a year ago and 1,909,458 Class B Preferred Shares outstanding, also unchanged from a year ago.

The Corporation's book value per common share at October 31, 2012 was $0.48 compared to $0.82 a year ago. Assuming the outstanding Class B Preferred Shares are converted into common shares on the basis of $5.00 per share, the Corporation's book value per common share at October 31, 2012 would be $1.55 per share.

On May 30, 2012, at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation, approval was given authorizing the reduction of the stated capital of the common shares of the Corporation by $50,472,000 and correspondingly reducing Retained Earnings (Deficit) by the same amount. There was no impact on total Shareholders' Equity.

Updated Share Information

As at December 5, 2012, there were no changes since October 31, 2012 in the number of outstanding common shares, Class A or Class B Preferred Shares. As at December 5, 2012, there were 489,083 common share options outstanding with the change since October 31, 2012 due to the expiry of 673,950 options.

Capital Management

Regulatory capital in the Corporation's principal subsidiary, the Bank, totalled $143.7 million at October 31, 2012 compared to $149.1 million a year ago with the change due primarily to operating results of the Bank over the past year and the impact on regulatory capital of the Bank's conversion to IFRS.

The Bank's total risk-based capital ratio, which is the ratio of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets, was 12.81% at October 31, 2012 compared to 13.33% a year ago. The Bank's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, which is the ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, was 8.54% at the end of the year compared to 8.89% last year. The Bank's assets-to-capital ratio was 10.86 at the end of the year compared to 9.87 a year ago. The changes in the Bank's capital ratios from a year ago were due to the decrease in regulatory capital as well as an increase in total assets and risk-weighted assets, primarily from the growth in lending assets.

As per OSFI's Capital Adequacy Guidelines, financial institutions may elect a phase-in of the impact of the conversion to IFRS on their regulatory capital reporting. The Bank made this election to phase-in the IFRS conversion impact over a five quarter period starting with the first quarter ending January 31, 2012. The phase-in amount is based on the impact on Retained Earnings (Deficit) of IFRS conversion as at November 1, 2011 and is recognized in regulatory capital on a straight-line basis. The estimate of the phase-in amount over the full five quarters is a reduction of regulatory capital of approximately $14.0 million and relates primarily to the impairment, net of income taxes, in previous years of available-for-sale securities. In the absence of this election, the Bank's Tier 1 and Total capital would have been 8.29% and 12.44% respectively at October 31, 2012.

See note 15 to the interim consolidated financial statements for more information regarding capital management.

The financial results of the Corporation for each of the last eight quarters are summarized above. The Corporation's results, particularly total interest income and net interest income, are comparable between quarters and over the past eight quarters reflect the increase in lending assets with some seasonality occurring during the spring and summer months due to residential construction lending. Other income during the quarters shows variability due to the level of gains realized in each quarter on the sale of preferred shares held in the Corporation's treasury portfolio and in the fourth quarter of 2012 from the sale of lending assets. The provision for credit losses recorded in the third quarter of 2012 was due to loan growth in the quarter and in the collective allowance relating to credit card receivables.

Non-interest expenses over the past year have been comparable between quarters but have increased since last year. Non-interest expenses increased in the fourth quarter of 2011 as a result of expenses being incurred totalling approximately $1.3 million relating to professional and consulting fees. Non-interest expenses increased in the third quarter of 2012 as a result of additional accruals relating to the credit card program and increased in the fourth quarter of 2012 due to year end accruals for consulting and other expenses. Overall, non-interest expenses increased over the past year due to increased staff relating to lending operations and the credit card program and increased general and administrative expenses incurred to administer the credit card program which launched on January 2, 2012.

The provision for income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2012 included an income tax provision of $1.9 million relating to a change in the estimate of previously recognized deferred income tax assets. The income tax provision in the third quarter of 2012 decreased from previous quarters as a result of a recovery for income taxes relating to a change in corporate income tax rates substantively enacted during the quarter. The provision for income taxes in the other quarters of 2012 showed variability depending on the level of preferred shares sold in the quarter and includes provisions in the parent company relating to income tax on dividends paid by the Corporation on its Class B Preferred Shares. The provision for income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2011 included an income tax provision of $2.8 million relating to income taxes in the parent company.

International Financial Reporting Standards

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are detailed on pages 58 to 63 of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report. Beginning with the interim period ended January 31, 2012 the Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. All adjustments to the Consolidated Financial Statements to facilitate the first time adoption of IFRS have been stipulated in "IFRS 1: First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards". The majority of the transitional adjustments required as a result of the adoption of IFRS are applied retrospectively against opening retained earnings at November 1, 2010, unless IFRS 1 specifically provides for prospective application.

The elected exemptions and mandatory exceptions from full retrospective application of IFRS were disclosed in detail in the January 31, 2012 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, along with accounting policy changes that had a quantitative impact on the consolidated financial statements at November 1, 2010 and October 31, 2011.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Corporation revised the classification previously provided in its interim financial statements for the periods ended January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012 of certain of its financial instruments and changed an election under IFRS1. As at November 1, 2010, the Corporation reclassified financial instruments totalling $17,638,000 from securities to loans and receivables and changed its elected exemption under IFRS1 to change the classification of a security to held-to-maturity from its prior classification as available-for-sale. This impacted Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) as these items are no longer marked to market through AOCI. The Deferred Income Tax Asset included in Other Assets was also impacted. See Note 4 to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Future Change in Accounting Policies

IFRS 9: Financial instruments (IFRS 9)

In November 2009, the IASB issued IFRS 9 as the first phase of an ongoing project to replace IAS 39. This first issuance of IFRS 9 introduced new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets. IFRS 9 was then re-issued in October 2010, incorporating new requirements for the accounting of financial liabilities, and carrying over from IAS 39 the requirements for de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The mandatory effective date for the adoption of IFRS 9 was set for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. In December 2011, the IASB amended the mandatory effective date for the adoption of IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with earlier application permitted. The IASB continues to deliberate on the content of IFRS 9 and intends to expand the existing standard by adding new requirements for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost and hedge accounting. On completion of these various projects, IFRS 9 will represent a complete replacement of IAS 39.

The most significant changes expected under IFRS 9 relate to decreases in the classification categories available for financial instruments, a requirement that debt instruments meet a business model and cash flow characteristic test before being eligible for measurement at amortized cost, and a requirement that changes in the fair value of equity instruments be reported in profit or loss (unless an irrevocable election is made at initial recognition to recognize such changes in other comprehensive income). Management has performed preliminary evaluations of the impact of IFRS 9, however the impact on the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements is not determinable at this time as it is dependent upon the nature of financial instruments held by the Corporation when IFRS 9 becomes effective. The Corporation is choosing not to early adopt IFRS 9.

Risk Management

The risk management policies and procedures of the Corporation are provided in its annual MD&A for the year ended October 31, 2011, and are found on pages 39 to 43 of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report.

Controls and Procedures

Due to the Corporation's adoption of IFRS effective November 1, 2011, management identified and implemented changes to certain accounting processes and procedures during the period November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 in order to comply with IFRS. These changes relate to conversion of historical CGAAP financial information to IFRS for comparative purposes, as well as:

Accounting for securitized mortgages on the Corporation's Statement of Financial Position.
Accounting for securitization liabilities.
Accounting for securitized mortgages interest income and securitization liability interest expense.
Accounting for impaired available-for-sale securities and sales of impaired available-for-sale securities.
Accounting for loan fee income.

In addition during the current period, as a result of the launch of the Corporation's private label credit card program in January 2012, certain accounting processes and procedures were implemented relating to the recording of outstanding credit card receivable balances, recording of related collective allowances, recording of revenue from credit cards and recording of expenses relating to the credit card program.

As a result, management revised certain existing controls over financial reporting and implemented new controls to provide reasonable assurance that the risk of material misstatements in the Corporation's financial reporting continues to be at an acceptably low level.

There were no other changes in the Corporation's policies and procedures and other processes during the three months ended October 31, 2012 that comprise its internal control over financial reporting, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.

PACIFIC & WESTERN CREDIT CORP.
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Three month period and year ended October 31, 2012 and 2011

1. Reporting entity:

Pacific & Western Credit Corp. (the "Corporation"), is a holding company whose shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It is incorporated and domiciled in Canada, and maintains its registered office at Suite 2002, 140 Fullarton Street, London, Ontario, Canada, N6A 5P2.

The Corporation's wholly-owned and principal subsidiary is Pacific & Western Bank of Canada ("PWB" or the "Bank") which operates as a Schedule I bank under the Bank Act (Canada) and is regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI). Pacific & Western Bank of Canada is involved in the business of providing financial solutions to clients in selected niche markets.

2. Basis of preparation:

a) Statement of compliance

These interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2011 and its first and third quarters of 2012 interim financial statements. As these condensed statements are being prepared for interim reporting purposes, they do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements prepared under IFRS. Transitional reconciliations and disclosures required under IFRS that were not included in the Corporation's most recent annual financial statements or in the first quarter interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been included in Note 4.

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months and year ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 were approved by the Board of Directors on December 5, 2012.

b) Functional and presentation currency

These interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the Corporation's functional currency. Except as indicated, the financial information presented has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

3. Significant accounting policies:

These interim Consolidated Financial Statements are the Corporation's third set of interim financial statements prepared under IFRS. As a result of the application of the new accounting framework, certain accounting policies have changed as those applied at October 31, 2011 were consistent with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (CGAAP). The Corporation's accounting policies under IFRS were disclosed in detail in the January 31, 2012 interim Consolidated Financial Statements and were applied consistently to all periods presented. There have been no changes to the IFRS accounting policies applied in the October 31, 2012 interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

4. Transition to IFRS:

Newly adopted accounting standards

Canadian publicly accountable enterprises are required to transition from CGAAP to IFRS effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. For the Corporation, the change in financial reporting standards is effective for interim and annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2012, however transitional rules require restatement of comparative amounts for the interim and annual financial statements of the fiscal year ending October 31, 2011. Consequently, the Corporation's transition date to IFRS is November 1, 2010.

Beginning with the interim period ended January 31, 2012, the Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. All adjustments to the Consolidated Financial Statements to facilitate the first time adoption of IFRS have been stipulated in "IFRS1: First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards". The majority of the transitional adjustments required as a result of the adoption of IFRS are applied retrospectively against opening retained earnings at November 1, 2010, unless IFRS1 specifically provides for prospective application.

The elected exemptions and mandatory exceptions from full retrospective application of IFRS were disclosed in detail in the January 31, 2012 interim Consolidated Financial Statements, along with accounting policy changes that had a quantitative impact on the consolidated financial statements at November 1, 2010 and October 31, 2011.

As at July 31, 2012 the Corporation revised the classification previously provided in its interim financial statements for the periods ended January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012 of certain of its financial instruments and was disclosed in detail in the third quarter interim statements.

The quantitative impact of adopting IFRS, including these reclassifications, is outlined below.

Impaired loans at October 31, 2012 include foreclosed real estate held for sale with a gross carrying value of $83,000 (2011 - $157,000) and a related allowance of $83,000 (2011 - $110,000). Real estate held for sale is measured at the lower of cost and the fair value less costs to sell.

Interest income recognized on impaired loans for the three months and year ended October 31, 2012 was $39,000 (2011 - $35,000) and $150,000 (2011 - $144,000) respectively. An individual allowance has been recognized on the impaired loans to reflect the estimated recoverable amounts for impaired loans.

At October 31, 2012, loans, other than credit card receivables, past due but not impaired totalled $nil (2011 - $nil). At October 31, 2012, credit card receivables overdue by one day or more but not impaired totalled $1,112,000 (2011 - $nil).

	$	82,172	$	77,581

8. Securitization liabilities:

Securitization liabilities include amounts payable to counterparties for cash received upon initiation of securitization transactions, accrued interest on amounts payable to counterparties, and the unamortized balance of deferred costs and discounts which arose upon initiation of the securitization transactions.

The amounts payable to counterparties bear interest at rates ranging from 1.97% - 3.95% and mature between 2016 and 2020. Securitized insured mortgages with a carrying value of $41,643,000 (2011 - $42,413,000) are pledged as collateral for these liabilities.

9. Preferred share liabilities:

At October 31, 2012, the Corporation has outstanding 1,909,458 (2011 - 1,909,458) Class B Preferred Shares with a total value of $47.7 million (2011 - $47.7 million) less issue costs of $2.3 million (2011 - $2.5 million). As these Class B Preferred Shares carry certain redemption features and are convertible into common shares of the Corporation, an amount of $41.8 million (2011 - $41.3 million), net of issue costs, representing the fair value of the Corporation's obligation to make future payments of principle and interest has been classified on the Corporation's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a preferred share liability. In addition, an amount of $3.2 million (2011 - $3.2 million) representing the equity element of the Class B Preferred Shares, net of issue costs, has been classified in share capital on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

As the preferred shares must be redeemed by the Corporation for approximately $47.7 million (2011 - $47.7 million), the preferred share liability amount of $41.8 million (2011 - $41.3 million) is being adjusted over the remaining term to redemption, until the amount is equal to the estimated redemption amount with the increase included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) calculated using the effective interest rate of 11.8%.

At October 31, 2012, the Corporation has 6,202,370 (2011 - 6,202,370) warrants outstanding to acquire common shares and common share warrants that expire in November, 2012. In addition, at October 31, 2012, there were 314,572 (2011 - 314,572) Class A Preferred Shares outstanding and 1,909,458 (2011 - 1,909,458) Class B Preferred Shares outstanding.

The Corporation recognized compensation expense relating to the estimated fair value of stock options granted for the three month period and year ended October 31, 2012 of $6,000 (2011 - $232,000) and $36,000 (2011 - $252,000) respectively. During the three months ended January 31, 2012, 50,000 options were granted to an officer who is a member of the Corporation's key management personnel. These options are exercisable into common shares at $1.90 per share and expire in January, 2022. The fair value of the options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i) risk-free interest rate of 1.31%, (ii) expected option life of 60 months and (iii) expected volatility of 57.71%. The forfeiture rate for these options was estimated at 0%. The fair value of options granted was estimated at $0.95 per option. No additional options were granted during the three months ended October 31, 2012.

During the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Corporation issued 128,574 DSU's (2011 - 46,669) to its directors, with no additional grants of DSU's during the remainder of 2012. The amounts recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) relating to DSU's for the three months and year ended October 31, 2012 was $nil (2011 - $10,000 recovery) and $225,000 expense (2011 - $97,000 recovery) respectively.

12. Derivative instruments:

At October 31, 2012, the Corporation had outstanding contracts for asset liability management purposes to swap from fixed to floating interest rates with notional amounts totalling $134,352,000 (2011 - $179,128,000), all of which qualified for hedge accounting. The Corporation only enters into these interest rate contracts for its own account and does not act as an intermediary in this market. These contracts have a risk-weight of $287,000 (2011 - $529,000) for purposes of determining the Bank's regulatory capital ratios. As required under the accounting standard relating to hedges, at October 31, 2012, $16,420,000 (2011 - $18,531,000) relating to these contracts was included in other liabilities and the offsetting amount included in the carrying values of the assets to which they relate. Approved counterparties are limited to Canadian chartered banks.

In 2011, the Corporation had entered into interest rate swaps that did not qualify for hedge accounting as a result of transactions with the Canada Housing Trust^TM. At October 31, 2011 the notional amount of these contracts totalled $1,093,000 and $nil at October 31, 2012 as the swaps were unwound in the current fiscal year.

13. Commitments and contingencies:

The amount of credit related commitments represents the maximum amount of additional credit that the Corporation could be obligated to extend. Under certain circumstances, the Corporation may cancel loan commitments at its option. The amount with respect to the letters of credit are not necessarily indicative of credit risk as many of these arrangements are contracted for a limited period of usually less than one year and will expire or terminate without being drawn upon.

14. Related party transactions:

The Corporation's Board of Directors and Senior Executive Officers represent key management personnel. Other than key management personnel, the Corporation has no other related parties for which there were transactions during the period or outstanding balances.

The Corporation issues both mortgages and personal loans to employees and Senior Executive Officers. At October 31, 2012 balances due from Senior Executive Officers totalled $1,023,000 (2011 - $1,084,000) of which $nil (2011 - $43,000) are secured by residential or other property.

The interest rates charged on these loans are similar to those charged in an arms-length transaction. Interest income earned on the above loans for the three months and year ended October 31, 2012 was $9,000 (2011 - $29,000) and $39,000 (2011 - $117,000) respectively. There was $nil provision for credit losses related to loans issued to key management personnel for the three months and year ended October 31, 2012 and 2011.

15. Capital management:

a) Overview:

The Corporation's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The impact of the level of capital on shareholders' return is also important and the Corporation recognizes the need to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with greater leverage and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

The Corporation's primary subsidiary is Pacific & Western Bank of Canada, (the "Bank") and as a result, the following discussion on capital management is with respect to the capital of the Bank. The Bank operates as a bank under the Bank Act (Canada) and is regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI). OSFI sets and monitors capital requirements for the Bank.

Capital is managed in accordance with policies and plans that are regularly reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors and take into account forecasted capital needs and conditions in financial markets.

The goal is to maintain adequate regulatory capital to be considered well capitalized, protect consumer deposits and provide capacity for internally generated growth and strategic opportunities that do not otherwise require accessing the public capital markets, all the while providing a satisfactory return to shareholders. The Bank's regulatory capital is comprised of share capital, retained earnings and unrealized losses on available-for-sale equity securities (Tier 1 capital) and unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity and the face value of subordinated notes (Tier 2 capital). Subordinated notes included in regulatory capital is limited to 50% of Tier 1 capital (leverageable amount).

The Bank monitors its capital adequacy and related capital ratios on a daily basis and has policies setting internal maximum and minimum amounts for its capital ratios. These capital ratios consist of the assets-to-capital multiple and the risk-based capital ratios.

During the year ended October 31, 2012, there were no material changes in the Bank's management of capital.

b) Assets-to-Capital Multiple:

The Bank's growth in total assets is limited by a permitted assets-to-capital multiple which is prescribed by OSFI and is defined as the ratio of the total assets of the Bank to its regulatory capital. The Bank's assets-to-capital multiple is calculated as follows:


		October 31		October 31
		2012		2011
		IFRS		CGAAP

Total assets (on and off-balance sheet)		$	1,561,449	$	1,471,512
Capital
	Common shares	$	103,965	$	103,965
	Retained earnings (deficit)		(10,933)		(868)
	Unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale equity securities		-		(3,719)
	Subordinated notes (leverageable amount)		47,905		49,688
	OSFI phase-in adjustment of the impact of IFRS (note 10c)		2,777		-
Total regulatory capital		$	143,714	$	149,066

Assets-to-capital ratio			10.86		9.87

The Bank was in compliance with the assets-to-capital multiple prescribed by OSFI throughout the periods presented. Regulatory capital and related calculations for all comparable periods presented are reported under CGAAP as the Corporation is not required by OSFI to restate such figures.

c) Risk-Based Capital Ratio:

OSFI requires banks to measure capital adequacy in accordance with guidelines for determining risk adjusted capital and risk-weighted assets including off-balance sheet credit instruments. Based on the deemed credit risk for each type of asset, a weighting of 0% to 150% is assigned to determine the risk-based capital ratio. OSFI recommends that banks maintain a minimum total risk-based capital ratio in excess of 10% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio in excess of 7%.

The Bank's risk-based capital ratios are calculated as follows:


	October 31, 2012				October 31, 2011
	IFRS				CGAAP
	Notional Drawn Amount		Risk Weighted Balance		Notional Drawn Amount		Risk Weighted Balance

Balance sheet assets	$	1,534,168	$	996,958	$	1,444,239	$	978,941
Off-balance sheet assets		436,174		91,105		520,707		118,382
Charge for operational risk				33,752				20,713
Total risk-weighted assets			$	1,121,815			$	1,118,036
Regulatory capital				143,714				149,066
Total risk-based capital ratio				12.81%				13.33%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio				8.54%				8.89%

Impact of IFRS on Regulatory Capital

Reporting of the Bank's regulatory capital under IFRS commenced on November 1, 2011. As per OSFI's Capital Adequacy Guidelines, financial institutions may elect a phase-in of the impact of the conversion to IFRS on their regulatory capital. The Bank made this election to phase-in the IFRS conversion impact over a five quarter period starting with the first quarter ending January 31, 2012. The phase-in amount is based on the impact on Retained Earnings (Deficit) of IFRS conversion as at November 1, 2011 and is recognized in regulatory capital on a straight-line basis. The estimate of the phase-in amount over the full five quarters is a reduction of regulatory capital of approximately $14.0 million and relates primarily to the impairment in previous years of available-for-sale securities. In the absence of this election, the Bank's Tier 1 and Total capital ratios would be 8.29% and 12.44% respectively at October 31, 2012.

16. Interest rate position:

The Bank is subject to interest rate risk which is the risk that a movement in interest rates could negatively impact spread, net interest income and the economic value of assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity. The following table provides the duration difference between the Bank's assets and liabilities and the potential after-tax impact of a 100 basis point shift in interest rates on the Bank's earnings during a 12 month period and the potential after-tax impact of a 100 basis point shift in interest rates on the Bank's shareholder's equity over a 60 month period if no remedial actions are taken.


	October 31, 2012				October 31, 2011
	Increase 100 bps		Decrease 100 bps		Increase 100 bps		Decrease 100 bps

Sensitivity of projected net interest income during a 12 month period	$	5,397	$	(5,346)	$	3,336	$	(3,321)
Sensitivity of projected net interest income during a 60 month period		8,341	$	(8,881)		(5,187)	$	5,512

Duration difference between assets and liabilities (months)		3				2

17. Segment information:

The Corporation determines its operating segments based on the different business activities of its component operations. The Corporation has identified three distinct operating segments: commercial lending, credit card lending and corporate head office operations.

The commercial lending segment consists of the operations of the Bank related to issuing mortgages and loans and participating in securitization arrangements. The commercial lending segment is supported by deposit taking activities and treasury activities. The credit card lending segment consists of the operations of the Bank related to its private label credit card program. The corporate head office operations segment consists of operations of the parent company, which are not directly related to the operations of the Bank.

Operating segment financial results are based on internal financial reporting documents which are provided to the Corporation's chief decision makers. Accounting policies applied and measurement bases used are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial results for all segments are presented on a consolidated basis. Transactions between segments have been eliminated.

The following table details financial results for the Corporation by operating segment:
