PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS

Strong performance by the Bank's lending team and gains earned on the sale of the Bank's preferred share portfolio were again key drivers to the Bank and PWCC's continued improvement and earnings. During the 2^nd quarter, the Bank earned $2.2 million (TEB) before income taxes and $1.1 million after income taxes. PWCC earned $562,000 before income taxes and had a loss of $911,000 after income taxes. PWCC's income tax provision includes $433,000 relating to a refundable income tax on dividends paid on its Class B Preferred Shares and an income tax provision of $1.0 million relating to gains made by the Bank on the sale of preferred shares. The latter tax provision had no impact on shareholders' equity.

The Bank's core lending operations continued to grow during the quarter with average loan balances increasing from $1,174,689,000 to $1,205,785,000 over the previous quarter. Loan spreads declined slightly from the previous quarter's 2.07% before provisions to 1.97% before provisions. This decline was caused by a slight difference between the spread on loans drawn during the quarter and loans repaid. I expect loan spreads throughout the remainder of the year to increase as the last remaining thinly priced hospital loan repaid in early May. Net income achieved by the Bank during the quarter was $1.1 million, a decrease from that achieved in the previous quarter. This change was primarily attributable to start-up costs associated with the launch of the Bank's Trustee Deposit and Home Hardware Credit Card Programs. The Home Hardware Credit Card Program cost the Bank $935,000 during the quarter versus $438,000 in the previous quarter. We expect this loss to diminish month by month as the Bank's credit card receivable balances build. Credit quality, which has been an enduring strength of the Bank, remained outstanding during the quarter with gross impaired loans decreasing to $1,690,000 or .14% of total loans from $2,236,000 or .21% of total loans a year ago. At April 30^th, the Bank's collateral coverage over its commercial loan portfolio was considerably higher than the industry average and more than double the loan balance.

On April 2^nd we launched a new deposit product for the trustees in the bankruptcy industry. Two of Canada's largest trustees are now dealing with us on a pilot basis and all being well, we expect to fully roll out this new product to the entire industry this fall. This new product should greatly increase the diversity of our Bank's deposit gathering network and result in a significant reduction to its cost of funds.

I am very pleased with the progress that we have made during the first six months of our fiscal year. Our core lending operations are performing very well with no loan losses and increasing revenues. The three initiatives that we developed over the last few years to diversify and increase our revenue streams are now operational. With respect to the Bulk Finance Program, we have now established relationships with eleven new loan and lease vendors and expect that our bulk loan and lease portfolio will grow by approximately $10 million per month based on these relationships. This program is particularly attractive to us in that it is easily hedged by our GIC deposits, presents minimal risk and produces a reasonable rate of return. On January 2^nd we launched a Home Hardware Credit Card Program and now have over 16,000 new cards issued. Credit card balances are growing rapidly and we expect this program will be a significant contributor to our bottom line early in the new year. While our Trustee Deposit Program has just recently been launched, we are very excited about its potential to diversify our deposit gathering network and significantly reduce our cost of funds. We have already established relationships with the two largest trustees in Canada and believe that our custom banking software will prove to be very attractive to the entire industry.

Now that all three of our special initiatives have come to fruition, our efforts are turning towards growing the Bank's balance sheet and profitability.

*Non-GAAP measures
Tax equivalent basis (teb) - like most banks, the Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary Pacific & Western Bank of Canada analyzes revenue on a teb to permit uniform measurement and comparison of net interest income. Net interest income includes tax-exempt income on certain securities. Since this income is not taxable, the rate of interest or dividends received is lower than would apply to a loan or taxable security of the same amount. The taxable equivalent basis includes an adjustment that increases interest income and the provision for income taxes by the same amount that adjusts the income on the tax-exempt securities to what income would have been had it been taxed at the statutory rate.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

This management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) of operations and financial condition for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2012, included herein which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This MD&A should also be read in conjunction with the Corporation's first quarter interim financial statements and its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2011, together with notes which were prepared in accordance with previous Canadian Generally Accounting Principles ("CGAAP") and MD&A, all of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Except as discussed below, all other factors discussed and referred to in the MD&A for the year ended October 31, 2011, remain substantially unchanged.

Overview

Pacific & Western Credit Corp. is a holding company whose shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Its wholly-owned and principal subsidiary is Pacific & Western Bank of Canada which provides lending services to selected niche markets and operates as a Schedule I bank under the Bank Act (Canada).

Pacific & Western Credit Corp.

Net income (loss) of the Corporation for the three months ending April 30, 2012 was ($911,000) or ($0.03) per share (($0.03) diluted) compared to ($2.1 million) or ($0.14) per share (($0.14) diluted) for the same period last year. Prior to the deduction of dividends on Class B Preferred Shares, net income (loss) for the three months ending April 30, 2012 was $357,000 compared to ($944,000) last year. These dividends are recorded as interest expense in the consolidated financial statements as the preferred shares carry certain redemption features and are classified as preferred share liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Net income (loss) of the Corporation for the six months ending April 30, 2012 was ($1.8 million) or ($0.07) per share (($0.07) diluted) compared to ($3.4 million) or ($0.23) per share (($0.23) diluted) for the same period last year. Prior to the deduction of dividends on Class B Preferred Shares, net income (loss) for the six months ending April 30, 2012 was $664,000 compared to ($1.0 million) last year.

Pacific & Western Bank of Canada

Net income of the Bank for the three months ending April 30, 2012 was $1.1 million compared to $428,000 for the same period a year ago and for the six months ending April 30, 2012, net income was $2.9 million compared to $1.7 million a year ago. The increase in net income of the Bank for the current quarter was due primarily to an increase in net interest income and a higher level of gains from the sale of preferred shares, reduced by the impact of the Bank's private label credit card program which was launched on January 2, 2012. For the three months ended April 30, 2012, the contribution from credit card services was ($935,000) and for the year-to-date was ($1.4 million). Gains from the sale of preferred shares on an after-tax basis for the current quarter totalled $2.9 million and for the six months ending April 30, 2012 totalled $5.2 million.

Net interest income (non-teb) for the Bank for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was $4.3 million compared to $3.8 million last year and for the six months ended April 30, 2012, net interest income for the Bank was $9.1 million compared to $8.1 million last year. On a teb basis, net interest income was $4.3 million compared to $4.3 million a year ago and for the six months ended April 30, 2012 was $9.4 million compared to $9.1 million a year ago.

At April 30, 2012, total assets of the Bank were $1.68 billion compared to $1.53 billion a year ago with the increase due to growth in lending assets which increased to $1.19 billion at April 30, 2012 from $1.07 billion last year, as well as cash and securities which increased to $454 from $424 million last year. The growth in lending assets was due primarily to an increase in commercial term mortgages and loans and residential construction mortgages. Also included in lending assets at April 30, 2012 were credit card receivables totalling $9.6 million relating to the private label credit card program which was launched on January 2, 2012.

Credit quality remains strong, with gross impaired loans decreasing to $1.7 million at April 30, 2012 from $2.2 million a year ago. At April 30, 2012, the ratio of gross impaired loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.14% compared to 0.21% last year.

Total Revenue (teb)

Total revenue (teb) of the Bank for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was $8.3 million compared to $5.1 million for the same period last year and for the six months ended April 30, 2012, total revenue (teb) was $16.5 million compared to $12.1 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 preferred shares, which are included in other income, being higher than that recorded a year ago. The increase in total revenue (teb) was impacted in the current periods due to a lower teb adjustment as a result of sales of preferred shares over the past year which resulted in a lower level of non-taxable dividends being received.

The provision for credit losses, which is also included in total revenue, was $nil in the current quarter compared to $78,000 a year ago and for the six months ended April 30, 2012 was $184,000 compared to $154,000 a year ago. Included in the provision for credit losses for the six month period were provisions totalling $120,000 relating to credit card receivables.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the Bank for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was $4.3 million compared to $3.8 million a year ago and on a teb basis was $4.3 million compared to $4.3 million a year ago. The teb adjustment for the current quarter was less than a year ago as a result of the sale of preferred shares over the past year which reduced the amount of non-taxable dividends received. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, net interest income for the Bank was $9.1 million compared to $8.1 million and on a teb basis was $9.4 million compared to $9.1 million a year ago. The teb adjustment for the six month period was less than a year ago as a result of the sale of preferred shares over the past year. Net interest income increased from a year ago primarily as a result of the growth in lending assets but was impacted by a lower level of net interest income earned on the Bank's treasury portfolio due primarily to the sale of preferred shares over the past year which reduced the yield from treasury assets, as well as the cost of holding higher levels of liquid assets in order to fund a large volume of deposits maturing in the third quarter of 2012.

Net interest margin or spread (teb) for the Bank for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was 1.09% compared to 1.21% last year and for the six months ended April 30, 2012 was 1.19% compared to 1.28% last year. While the Bank saw its spread from lending assets in the current quarter and for the six months increase from the same periods a year ago, overall spread (teb) for the current quarter was less than last year due to the higher level of liquid assets being held and a lower level of preferred shares being held which had a higher after tax yield.

Other Income

Other income for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was $3.9 million compared to $919,000 for the same period a year ago and for the six months ended April 30, 2012 was $7.3 million compared to $3.1 million a year ago. Other income in the current quarter includes gains totalling $3.9 million from the sale of preferred shares compared to $709,000 a year ago and for the six months ended April 30, 2012, gains from the sale of preferred shares totalled $7.1 million compared to $3.2 million a year ago. Also included in other income is non-interest revenue earned from credit card services totalling $102,000 for the current quarter and $116,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2012.

Non-Interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses, including those relating to credit card services, totalled $5.7 million for the current quarter compared to $4.3 million for the same period a year ago and for the six months ended April 30, 2012 totalled $11.5 million compared to $8.9 million. The increase in non-interest expenses for the current quarter and for the six month period was due to increases in general and administrative expenses relating to credit card services and other volume related expenses. In addition, salaries and benefits increased in the current periods compared to a year ago as a result of increased staff in the lending and credit card areas and higher amounts being recorded for stock-based compensation, including deferred share units. Non-interest expenses relating to credit card services totalled $977,000 for the current quarter and for the six months ended April 30, 2012 totalled $1.4 million.

Income Taxes

The Corporation's statutory federal and provincial income tax rate and that of the Bank is approximately 29%, unchanged from a year ago. The effective rate is impacted by the tax benefit on operating losses in the parent company not being recorded for accounting purposes, non-taxable dividend income earned on preferred shares held 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 recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

For the current quarter the provision for income taxes was $1.5 million compared to $293,000 a year ago and includes an income tax provision of $433,000 in the parent company relating to a refundable income tax on dividends paid by the Corporation on its Class B Preferred Shares, and an income tax provision of $1.0 million relating to gains on the sale of preferred shares. For the six months ending April 30, 2012, the provision for income taxes was $2.8 million compared to $1.2 million a year ago and includes an income tax provision of $887,000 in the parent company relating to the refundable income tax on dividends paid by the Corporation on its Class B Preferred Shares and an income tax provision of $1.9 million relating to gains on the sale of preferred shares.

At April 30, 2012, the deferred tax asset in the Bank was $11.3 million compared to $12.1 million a year ago and 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 tax asset cannot be determined with certainty, however management is of the opinion that it is more likely than not that the Bank will be able to realize the deferred tax asset in future years. The realization of the deferred 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 generating income from operations or on converting non-taxable income sources to taxable income sources during the carry-forward period. At April 30, 2012, the Bank had significantly reduced its holdings of preferred shares and the market value of the remaining preferred shares had increased from a year ago. At the end of the current quarter, the value of preferred shares held by the Bank totalled $9.5 million compared to $59.4 million a year ago.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Total comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of the net loss for the period and other comprehensive income (loss) consisting primarily of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Total comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was ($3.1 million) compared to ($1.3 million) and for the six months ended April 30, 2012, total comprehensive income (loss) was ($5.6 million) compared to ($2.2 million) a year ago. The differences from a year ago are due to higher amounts of unrealized gains on available-for-securities recorded in comprehensive income (loss) in previous years being reversed when realized in net loss in the current period.

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 activities and treasury activities. During the three months ended April 30, 2012, net income of the commercial lending operations totalled $2.0 million compared to $428,000 a year ago with the increase due primarily to growth in net interest income from lending and gains on the sale of preferred shares in the quarter. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, net income of the commercial lending segment totalled $4.4 million compared to $1.7 million with the increase also due primarily to a growth in net interest income and gains on the sale of preferred shares.

For the three months ended April 30, 2012, net interest income from commercial lending totalled $4.3 million compared to $3.8 million last year and for the six months ended April 30, 2012, net interest income from commercial lending totalled $9.1 million compared to $8.1 million last year.

For the three months ended April 30, 2012, non-interest expenses for the commercial lending segment totalled $5.1 million compared to $4.2 million a year ago and for the six months ended April 30, 2012, non-interest expenses for the commercial lending segment totalled $9.9 million compared to $7.9 million a year ago. Non-interest expenses increased from the previous periods as a result of volume related expenses and an increase in salaries and benefits due to additional staff being hired, primarily in the lending area.

Credit Card Services

On January 2, 2012, the Bank launched its private label credit card program and in the second quarter, the Corporation began reporting credit card services as a reporting segment. As at April 30, 2012, 15,900 credit cards had been issued and the amount of credit card receivables totalled $9.6 million compared to $2.3 million at the end of the previous quarter. For the three months ended April 30, 2012, net interest income from credit card services totalled ($2,000) and for the six month period net interest income totalled ($6,000). Net interest income from credit card services was impacted by incentive programs being introduced to generate new cards being issued. Non-interest revenue from credit card services in the form of fees totalled $102,000 in the quarter and for the six month period totalled $116,000.

For the three months ending April 30, 2012, the Bank recorded a collective allowance of $58,000 on outstanding credit card balances and for the year-to-date has recorded a collective allowance of $120,000 on outstanding credit card balances.

Non-interest expenses relating to credit card services totalled $977,000 in the current quarter and for the six months ended April 30, 2012 totalled $1.4 million. These expenses consisted of salaries and benefits relating to the credit card operations, expenses for activities carried out by external parties to administer processing of the credit cards, marketing and promotional costs as well as general and administrative expenses.

Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

Total assets of the Corporation at April 30, 2012, were $1.68 billion compared to $1.53 billion a year ago with the increase due primarily to growth in lending assets which increased from $1.07 billion to $1.19 billion at April 30, 2012, an increase of 11%.

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 and preferred shares. Cash and securities, which are held primarily for liquidity management purposes, totalled $455 million or 27% of total assets at April 30, 2012 compared to $432 million or 28% of total assets a year ago. Cash and cash equivalents formed $378 million of the total amount of cash and securities at April 30, 2012 compared to $230 million of the total amount a year ago and increased as a result of the Corporation focusing its strategy on holding higher levels of liquid assets and reducing its holdings of preferred shares over the past year. In addition, current market conditions enable the Corporation to earn higher yields on cash and cash equivalents than on government securities.

Although the preferred shares held by the Corporation in its treasury portfolio yielded an attractive after-tax rate of return, the Corporation undertook the strategy of reducing its holdings of preferred shares in order to reduce 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 the holdings other financial institutions' preferred shares unattractive due to additional negative impacts on regulatory capital.

At April 30, 2012, the net unrealized gain in the Corporation's securities portfolio was $381,000 compared to a net unrealized gain of $18.7 million a year ago with the change due to gains being realized over the past year, primarily through the sale of preferred shares. 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 further impairment charges are required at this time.

Mortgages and Loans

Mortgages and loans totalled $1.19 billion at April 30, 2012, compared to $1.07 billion a year ago with the increase from last year primarily in commercial term mortgages and loans and residential construction mortgages. Mortgages and loans totalled $1.22 billion at the end of the previous quarter with the decrease due primarily to a hospital loan and a public sector loan totalling $57 million which repaid in the current quarter. However average loans outstanding during the current quarter totalled $1.21 billion compared to $1.17 billion in the previous quarter.

New lending in the current quarter totalled $95 million compared to $113 million a year ago and loan repayments for the current quarter totalled $119 million compared to $107 million last year. Loan commitments at April 30, 2012 were $237 million compared to $233 million a year ago. At April 30, 2012, the Corporation's lease portfolio totalled $133 million compared to $159 million a year ago. While the Corporation has seen significant repayments in its lease portfolio over the past year resulting in a decrease in total leases outstanding, it is continuing to enter into agreements with vendors for its bulk lease financing program. It currently has agreements with six vendors and expects to see accelerated growth in this market in the coming months.

Included in mortgages and loans are credit card receivables totalling $9.6 million. As noted previously, on January 2, 2012 the Corporation launched its private label credit card program and at April 30, 2012, a total of 15,900 credit cards had been issued. The Corporation expects to see significant growth in credit card receivables in the coming months as the spring and summer months arrive.

Credit Quality

Gross impaired loans at April 30, 2012 totalled $1.7 million or 0.14% of total loans compared to $2.2 million or 0.21% 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 were $nil compared to $78,000 a year ago. As noted previously, the provision for credit losses in the current quarter included a recovery of $58,000 on loans and receivables but was offset by a provision for credit losses in the same amount relating to credit card receivables. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, the provision for credit losses totalled $184,000 compared to $154,000 for the same period a year ago.

At April 30, 2012 the Corporation's collective allowance totalled $3.0 million compared to $3.2 million a year ago. At April 30, 2012, the Corporation's individual allowance for credit losses totalled $1.6 million compared to $1.5 million a year ago. 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 $29.8 million at April 30, 2012 compared to $28.7 million a year ago. Included in other assets is the deferred tax asset of the Bank totalling $11.3 million compared to $12.1 million last year and capital assets and prepaid expenses totalling $14.9 million at April 30, 2012 compared to $14.3 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 April 30, 2012 totalled $1.47 billion compared to $1.33 billion a year ago, and consist primarily of guaranteed investment certificates. Of these amounts, $34.6 million or approximately 2.3% of total deposits at the end of the quarter were in the form of demand deposits compared to $34.0 million or approximately 2.5% 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 and to provide for liquidity to cover deposit maturities in the coming months.

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.

A second 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 April 30, 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 April 30, 2012, other liabilities totalled $28.2 million compared to $21.8 million a year ago. The fair value of derivatives at the end of the current quarter totalled $15.4 million compared to $13.0 million last year with the increase due primarily to changes in interest rates from a year ago. Under the accounting standard for hedges, the offsetting amount 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 April 30, 2012, the amount of securitization liabilities totalled $43.3 million compared to $32.9 million a year ago with the increase due to securitization transactions entered into between May 1, 2011 and October 31, 2011. 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 $42.0 million are pledged as collateral for these liabilities.

Notes Payable

Notes payable, net of issue costs, totalled $77.9 million at April 30, 2012 compared to $90.2 million a year ago with the decrease due to subordinated notes issued by the Bank to an external party being repurchased by the Corporation. Excluding issue costs, notes payable consist of Series C Notes totalling $61.7 million maturing in 2018 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 $21.5 million issued by the Bank to an external party. These subordinated notes bear interest at rates ranging from 8.00% to 11.00%, are callable by the Bank, and mature between 2019 and 2021.

Preferred Share Liabilities

At April 30, 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 $2.4 million. As these Class B Preferred Shares carry certain redemption features and are convertible into common shares of the Corporation, an amount of $41.5 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 Statement of Financial Position as Preferred Share Liabilities. In addition, an amount of $4.3 million, net of 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 $41.5 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 Operations, calculated using an effective interest rate of 11.8%.

Liquidity

At April 30, 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 of the Corporation beyond 2013 is expected to come primarily from cash and interest income earned by the Corporation.

Shareholders' Equity

At April 30, 2012, Shareholders' Equity was $19.2 million compared to $16.5 million a year ago with the increase due primarily to the issue of common shares and warrants pursuant to a public offering which closed during 2011, partially offset by net losses incurred since last year.

Common shares outstanding at April 30, 2012 totalled 27,173,439 compared to 15,853,526 a year ago with the change due to 7,476,000 common shares issued in 2011 under a public offering, 2,200,000 common shares issued in 2011 under private placements and 1,643,913 common shares issued since last year as part of the dividends on the Class B Preferred Shares. Common share options outstanding totalled 1,163,033 at the end of the quarter compared to 508,333 a year ago with the change due to common share options issued, net of the expiry of common share options.

In addition, the Corporation has 5,398,700 warrants outstanding at April 30, 2012 resulting from the public offering and the private placement 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 the warrants currently expire in November 2012.

At April 30, 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 April 30, 2012 was $0.51 compared to $0.71 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 April 30, 2012 would be $1.64 per share.

Updated Share Information

As at June 6, 2012, there were no changes in the number of outstanding common shares, common share warrants or options, Class A or Class B Preferred Shares since April 30, 2012.

Capital Management

Regulatory capital in the Corporation's principal subsidiary, the Bank, totalled $153.5 million at April 30, 2012 compared to $144.6 million a year ago with the increase due primarily to $4.0 million of additional Tier 1 capital in the form of common shares being issued by the Bank to the Corporation in 2011, operating results of the Bank over the past year and changes in the market value of available-for-sale equity securities which the Bank holds in its treasury portfolio. Regulatory capital includes the after-tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale equity securities owned by the Bank.

The Bank's total risk-based capital ratio, which is the ratio of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets, was 13.20% at April 30, 2012 compared to 13.12% 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 8.64% at the end of the quarter compared to 8.75% last year. The Bank's assets-to-capital ratio was 11.12 at the end of the quarter compared to 10.54 a year ago. The changes in the Bank's capital ratios from a year ago were due to the increase in regulatory capital as well as an increase in 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 7.93% and 12.12% respectively at April 30, 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.

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 for implementation of the Corporation's private label credit card program. 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 2011 includes an income tax adjustment of $2.8 million relating to income taxes in the parent company and in the first two quarters of 2012, includes an income tax provision in the parent company relating to a refundable income tax on dividends paid by the Corporation on its Class B Preferred Shares.

Subsequent Event

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 is no impact on total shareholders' equity.

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are detailed on pages 58 to 63 of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report. There have been no changes in accounting policies or new significant accounting policies adopted during the current period.

Future Change in Accounting Policies

International Financial Reporting Standards

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 carried out 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 April 30, 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 has been reduced to an acceptably low level.

There were no other changes in the Corporation's policies and procedures and other processes during the three months ended April 30, 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 and six month periods ended April 30, 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 quarter 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 and six month periods ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 were approved by the Board of Directors on June 6, 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 second 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 April 30, 2012 interim Consolidated Financial Statements, except as described below.

a) Segment reporting:

The Corporation manages and reports on separate operating segments when a component of operations earns revenues and generates expenses for the Corporation, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief decision makers.

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 of 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 "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 financial statements at November 1, 2010 and October 31, 2011. There have been no changes in the previously disclosed exemptions, exceptions, accounting policies applied, or disclosures previously presented, however the quantitative impact of these accounting policy changes for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2012 are outlined below:

The Corporation holds collateral against loans in the form of mortgage interests over property, other registered securities over assets and guarantees. Estimates of fair value are based on the nature of the underlying collateral. For mortgages secured by real estate, the value of collateral is determined at the time of borrowing by an appraisal. For loans secured by equipment, the value of collateral is assigned by the nature of the underlying equipment held. The fair value of collateral securing loans that are not impaired at April 30, 2012 totalled $2,220,761,000 (2011 - $1,593,239,000)

Impaired loans at April 30, 2012 include foreclosed real estate held for sale with a gross carrying value of $159,000 (2011 - $149,000) and a related allowance of $120,000 (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 and six months ended April 30, 2012 was $37,000 (2011 - $36,000) and $73,000 (2011 - $73,000) respectively. An individual allowance has been recognized equal to the entire amount of interest accrued on impaired loans to reflect the recoverable amounts for impaired loans.

At April 30, 2012, loans, other then credit card receivables, past due but not impaired totalled $32,000 (2011 - $65,000). At April 30, 2012, credit card receivables past due but not impaired totalled $487,000 (2011 - $nil).

	$	77,874	$	77,581	$	90,189

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 $42,033,000 (2011 - $32,419,000) are pledged as collateral for these liabilities.

9. Preferred share liabilities:

At April 30, 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 $2.4 million (2011 - $2.6 million). As these Class B preferred shares carry certain redemption features and are convertible into common shares of the Corporation, an amount of $41.5 million (2011 - $41.0 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 $4.3 million (2011 - $4.3 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 $41.5 million (2011 - $41.0 million) is being adjusted over the remaining term to redemption, until the liability amount is equal to the estimated redemption amount with the increase included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income calculated using the effective interest rate of 11.8%.

At April 30, 2012, the Corporation has 6,202,370 (2011 - nil) warrants outstanding to acquire common shares and common share warrants. In addition, at April 30, 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 and six months ended April 30, 2012 of $6,000 (2011 - $7,000) and $24,000 (2011 - $14,000) respectively. During the quarter 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 quarter ended April 30, 2012.

During the quarter ended January 31, 2012, the Corporation issued 128,574 DSU's (2011 - 46,669) to its directors, with no additional grants of DSU's in the second quarter of 2012 or 2011. The amounts recorded in the Statement of Income (Loss) relating to DSU's for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012 was $111,000 recovery (2011 - $147,000 recovery) and $213,000 expense (2011 - $82,000 expense) respectively.

12. Derivative instruments:

At April 30, 2012, the Corporation had outstanding contracts for asset liability management purposes to swap from fixed to floating interest rates with notional amounts totalling $150,855,000 (2011 - $205,095,000), 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 $384,000 (2011 - $682,000) for purposes of determining the Bank's regulatory capital ratios. As required under the accounting standard relating to hedges, at April 30, 2012, $15,402,000 (2011 - $13,031,000) 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 April 30, 2011 the notional amount of these contracts totalled $673,000.

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.

Collateral related to derivative transactions	$	15,439	$	12,871
Collateral related to letters of credit		9,180		5,080

	$	24,619	$	17,951

14. Related party transactions:

The Corporation's Board of Directors and selected 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 Executive Officers. At April 30, 2012 balances due from Executive Officers totalled $945,000 (2011 - $2,750,000) of which $nil (2011- $1,850,000) 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 and six months ended April 30, 2012 was $10,000 (2011 - $29,000) and $21,000 (2011 - $59,000) respectively. There was $nil provision for credit losses related to loans issued to key management personnel for the three and six months ended April 30, 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 period ended April 30, 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:


			April 30		April 30
			2012		2011
			IFRS		CGAAP

Total assets (on and off-balance sheet)		$	1,705,702	$	1,523,631
Capital
	Common shares	$	103,965	$	99,965
	Retained earnings (deficit)		(11,810)		104
	Unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale equity securities		2,725		(3,658)
	Subordinated notes (leverageable amount)		50,244		48,205
	OSFI phase-in adjustment of the impact of IFRS		8,333		-
Total regulatory capital		$	153,457	$	144,616

Assets-to-capital ratio			11.12		10.54

The Bank was in compliance with the assets-to-capital ratio 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:


		April 30, 2012				April 30, 2011
				IFRS				CGAAP
		Notional		Risk		Notional		Risk
		Drawn		Weighted		Drawn		Weighted
		Amount		Balance		Amount		Balance

Balance sheet assets	$	1,678,601	$	1,016,485	$	1,498,612	$	962,274
Off-balance sheet assets		487,602		120,455		528,853		117,493
Charge for operational risk				25,659				22,308
Total risk-weighted assets			$	1,162,599			$	1,102,075
Regulatory capital				153,457				144,616
Total risk-based capital ratio				13.20%				13.12%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio				8.64%				8.75%

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 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 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 7.93% and 12.12% respectively at April 30, 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.

17. Segment information:

The Corporation determines its reportable segments based on the different business activities of its component operations. The Corporation has identified three distinct reportable 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.

Reportable 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:
