                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information, and with the instructions for meeting the requirements 
of Regulation S-X, Article 10 and therefore do not include all disclosures 
necessary for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, 
all adjustments have been made that are necessary for a fair presentation of 
the financial position and results of operations and cash flows as of and for 
the periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring 
nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 
entire fiscal year or any other interim period.  Certain amounts for the 
three month period in the prior year have been reclassified to conform with 
the current period's presentation.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts 
of First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc. ("Parent Holdings" or the 
"Company"), which owns directly 80% of the voting common stock of First 
Nationwide Holdings Inc. ("FN Holdings"), which owns all of the common stock 
of First Nationwide Bank, A Federal Savings Bank ("First Nationwide" or 
"Bank"), and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries not subject to the 
Assistance Agreement. All significant intercompany balances and transactions 
have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Minority interest represents amounts attributable to the Preferred Stock 
of the Bank and that portion of the results of operations and equity of FN 
Holdings attributable to its class B common stock.  These financial 
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial 
statements included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed 
May 15, 1996.  All terms used but not defined elsewhere herein have the 
meaning ascribed to them in such Registration Statement.

     Earnings per share data is not presented due to the limited ownership of 
the Company.  Parent Holdings is a holding company whose only significant 
asset is its indirect ownership of 80% of the common stock of the Bank, and 
therefore all activities for the consolidated entity are carried out by the 
Bank and its operating subsidiaries.

(2)   ACQUISITIONS AND SALES

     On February 28, 1995, the Bank (through its wholly owned mortgage bank 
operating subsidiary, First Nationwide Mortgage Corporation ("FNMC"), 
acquired a 1-4 unit residential mortgage loan servicing portfolio of 
approximately $11.4 billion and other assets and liabilities (the "Maryland 
Acquisition").

     In April 1995, the Bank acquired approximately $13 million in deposits 
located in Tiburon, California from East-West Federal Bank, a federal savings 
bank (the "Tiburon Purchase").  In August 1995, the Bank acquired three 
retail branches located in Orange County, California with deposit accounts 
totalling approximately $356 million from ITT Federal Bank, fsb (the "ITT 
Purchase"). On December 8, 1995, the Bank consummated the purchase of four 
retail branches located in Sonoma County, California with associated deposit 
accounts of approximately $144 million from Citizens Federal Bank, a Federal 
Savings Bank (the "Sonoma Purchase" and, collectively with the Tiburon 
Purchase and the ITT Purchase, the "Branch Purchases").

     On October 2, 1995, FNMC purchased from Lomas Mortgage USA, Inc. 
("LMUSA") a loan servicing portfolio of approximately $11.1 billion 
(including a sub-servicing portfolio of $3.1 billion), $2.9 billion of 
mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), which are rights to service mortgages 
held by others, which MSRs are owned by third parties who have contracted 
with FNMC to monitor the performance and consolidate the reporting of various 
other servicers (a "master servicing portfolio") and other assets (the "LMUSA 
1995 Purchase"). On January 31, 1996, FNMC purchased LMUSA's remaining $14.1 
billion loan servicing portfolio (including a sub-servicing portfolio of $2.4 
billion), a master servicing portfolio of $2.7 billion, $5.9 million in 
foreclosed real estate, $46.8 million in net other servicing receivables, 
$2.6 million in mortgage loans, and $6.2 million in net other assets 
(including $1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents) for a purchase price of 
approximately $160.0 million payable in installments (the "Lomas 1996 
Purchase" and, together with the LMUSA 1995 Purchase, the "LMUSA Purchases"). 
The initial installment of $49.8 million was paid with existing cash.

from the sale on February 23, 1996 of an aggregate of approximately $298 
million in carrying value of consumer loans.  In connection with the SFFed 
Acquisition, FN Holdings issued $140 million of 9-1/8% Senior Subordinated 
Notes Due 2003 (the "Senior Sub Notes") and contributed the net proceeds 
thereof of $133 million to the Bank as additional paid-in capital, which 
augmented the Bank's regulatory capital to maintain its "well-capitalized" 
status after the SFFed Acquisition.

     The SFFed Acquisition and the LMUSA 1996 Purchase were accounted for as 
purchases and, accordingly, their respective purchase prices were allocated 
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in each transaction based on 
estimates of fair values at the date of purchase.  Since the respective dates 
of purchase, the results of operations related to such assets and liabilities 
have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

     From September through December of 1995, First Nationwide entered into 
contracts for the sale of its retail deposits ("Deposits") and the related 
retail banking assets comprised of cash on hand, loans on deposits, and 
facilities ("Assets") in the states of Ohio, New York, New Jersey and 
Michigan (collectively, the "Branch Sale Agreements") at prices which 
represent an average premium of 7.82% of the deposits sold.  During the first 
quarter of 1996, the Branch Sale Agreements for the states of Ohio, New York 
and New Jersey were consummated in a series of transactions, as follows (the 
"Branch Sales"):

advances of $1.7 billion with a weighted average rate of 5.46%, long-term 
FHLB advances of $.6 billion with a weighted average rate of 5.41% maturing 
from April 1997 through March 1998 and securities sold under agreements to

LMUSA Purchases,  Branch Sales and the issuance of the Senior Sub Notes and 
Parent Senior Notes had been consummated in the past nor do they project the 
results of operations in any future period.

(3)   CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

     Parent Holdings uses the indirect method to present cash flows from 
operating activities.  Cash paid for interest for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996 and 1995 was $188.3 million and $162.1 million, respectively.

<PAGE>

     During the three months ended March 31, 1996, noncash activity consisted 
of transfers from loans receivable to foreclosed real estate of $31.2 
million, and the transfers of certain consumer loans from loans held for sale 
to loans receivable (at lower of cost or market) totalling $26.8 million.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1995, noncash activity consisted 
of the transfer of $15.0 million from loans receivable to foreclosed real 
estate.

(4)   ISSUANCE OF DEBT

     On January 31, 1996, FN Holdings issued $140 million of its Senior Sub 
Notes.  The net proceeds of this offering, totalling $133 million, were 
contributed to the Bank as additional paid-in capital.

     On April 17, 1996, Parent Holdings issued $455 million of 12-1/2% Senior 
Notes due 2003 ("Parent Senior Notes").  The net proceeds of this offering 
totalling approximately $432 million were distributed to its parent.

(5)   NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of 
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No. 
121").  SFAS No. 121 provides guidance for the recognition and measurement of 
impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and 
goodwill related both to assets to be held and used by an entity and assets 
to be disposed of.  SFAS No. 121 is effective for financial statements for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 
121 effective January 1, 1996.  Such adoption had no material impact on the 
Company's consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     The principal business of Parent Holdings, through First Nationwide, 
consists of operating retail deposit branches and originating and/or 
purchasing residential real estate loans and, to a lesser extent, certain 
consumer loans, for investment.  First Nationwide actively manages its 
commercial real estate loan portfolio and is also active in mortgage banking, 
loan servicing and securities brokerage.  Revenues are derived primarily from 
interest charged on loans, interest received on securities and 
mortgage-backed securities, gains on sales of loans, fees received in 
connection with loan servicing, securities brokerage and other customer 
service transactions. Expenses primarily consist of interest on customer 
deposit accounts, interest on short-term and long-term borrowings, provisions 
for losses, general and administrative expenses consisting of compensation 
and benefits, advertising and marketing, premises and equipment, 
communications, deposit insurance assessments, data processing and other 
general and administrative expenses.

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Bank made significant progress in 
the implementation of its strategies to concentrate its retail banking 
operations in California and to increase its mortgage banking operations.  On 
February 1, 1996, the Bank consummated the SFFed Acquisition involving assets 
totalling $4.0 billion and retail deposits totalling $2.7 billion.  On 
January 31, 1996, FNMC consummated the acquisition of a $14.1 billion loan 
servicing portfolio in the LMUSA 1996 Purchase.  During the first quarter of 
1996, the Bank closed the sales of all retail branches and deposits in the 
states of Ohio, New York and New Jersey with associated deposit accounts 
totalling $3.8 billion, resulting in pre-tax gains totalling $308 million.

     ACQUISITIONS AND SALES

     The period-to-period comparisons set forth below, including the changes 
in magnitude of various items between periods, have been affected by the 
significant growth of the Bank through acquisitions accounted for as 
purchases during the periods involved and the restructuring of the Bank's 
retail deposit network in California resulting in the sale of certain 
non-California deposits funded with wholesale borrowings. See note 2 to the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding the 
Branch Purchases, LMUSA Purchases, Branch Sales, and the SFFed Acquisition.

     NET INCOME

     Parent Holdings reported net income for the three months ended March 31, 
1996 of $239.7 million compared with net income of $15.3 million for the 
corresponding period in 1995.  Net income for the three months ended March 
31, 1996 includes $283.3 million in after tax gains on sales of branches.  
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 includes $2.0 million in 
extraordinary gains, net of income taxes, from the early extinguishment of 
FHLB advances.  No such extraordinary gains have been recognized in 1996.


                                   Page 12

<PAGE>

     Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $108.0 million 
for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared with $80.2 million in the 
same period in 1995, an increase of $27.8 million, primarily due to the 
increased volume of interest-bearing assets and liabilities acquired in the 
SFFed Acquisition and a 45 basis point increase in the net interest margin 
between the two periods, offset by the increased interest expense from the 
Senior Sub Notes.

     FINANCIAL CONDITION

     During the three months ended March 31, 1996, consolidated total assets 
increased $3.2 billion from December 31, 1995, to $17.8 billion at March 31, 
1996, due to the assets acquired in the SFFed Acquisition and the LMUSA 1996 
Purchase.  During the same period, consolidated total liabilities increased 
$2.9 billion, primarily due to additional liabilities assumed in the SFFed 
Acquisition and the issuance of the Senior Sub Notes.  Within total 
liabilities, there has been a $3.6 billion increase in borrowings and 
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, offset by the decrease in 
deposits related to the $3.8 billion sold in the Branch Sales.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1996, stockholder's equity 
increased by $192.9 million.  The increase in stockholder's equity is the net 
result of $239.7 million in net income for the period, offset by $44 million 
in dividends and a decrease in the net unrealized gain on securities 
available for sale of $2.8 million.

     Parent Holdings' non-performing assets, consisting of nonaccrual loans, 
net of purchase accounting adjustments and specific allowances for loan 
losses, and foreclosed real estate, net, increased to $302 million at March 
31, 1996 compared with $220 million at December 31, 1995.  Approximately $75 
million, or 25% of the total non-performing assets at March 31, 1996 were 
acquired in the SFFed Acquisition.  Total non-performing assets as a 
percentage of total assets increased to 1.70% at March 31, 1996, from 1.50% 
of total assets at December 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following table sets forth, for the periods and at the dates 
indicated, information regarding the Company's consolidated average 
statements of financial condition, together with the total dollar amounts of 
interest income and interest expense and the weighted average interest rates 
for the periods presented.  Average balances are calculated on a daily basis. 
The information presented represents the historical activity of the Company 
and includes the impact of the SFFed Acquisition and the LMUSA 1996 Purchase 
on the financial position and the results of operations from acquisition date 
through March 31, 1996.

</TABLE>

     The volume variances in total interest income and total interest expense 
from the three months ended March 31, 1995 to the corresponding period in 
1996 are largely due to the additional $3.6 billion in interest-earning 
assets acquired and $3.7 billion in interest-bearing liabilities assumed in 
the SFFed Acquisition.  The overall volume change in net interest income is 
negative due to the shift from deposits to comparatively higher priced 
borrowings as a result 


                                   Page 16

<PAGE>

of the Branch Sales.  The positive total rate variance of $36 million is 
attributed to increasing rates on adjustable-rate assets as such assets 
repriced to their fully-indexed yields, and the decrease in overall market 
rates on interest-bearing liabilities between the two periods, offset 
slightly by the impact of the additional wholesale borrowings used to finance 
the Branch Sales. During the first quarter of 1996, deposits totalling $3.8 
billion with a weighted average rate of 4.70% were sold and replaced with 
$3.5 billion of FHLB advance borrowings and securities sold under agreements 
to repurchase with a weighted average rate of 5.45%.

     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

     INTEREST INCOME.  Total interest income was $308.2 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $48.7 million from the three 
months ended March 31, 1995.  The interest-earning assets acquired in the 
SFFed Acquisition resulted in total interest-earning assets for the first 
three months of 1996 averaging $15.8 billion, compared to $14.0 billion for 
the corresponding period in 1995.  In addition, the yield on total 
interest-earning assets during the first three months of 1996 increased to 
7.82% from the 7.42% yield on total interest-earning assets for the first 
three months of 1995.

     Parent Holdings earned $221.2 million of interest income on loans 
receivable for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $26.4 
million from the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The loans acquired in 
the SFFed Acquisition contributed most of the increased interest income in 
1996, and resulted in an increase in the average balance of loans receivable 
to $11.0 billion from $10.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 
1995. The weighted average yield on loans receivable increased to 8.04% for 
the first quarter of 1996 from 7.69% for the same period in 1995 due to 
upward rate adjustments on adjustable rate residential loans as such loans 
repriced to their fully indexed rates, without the effect of teaser rates or 
annual interest rate adjustment caps.

     Parent Holdings earned $14.6 million of interest income on loans held 
for sale for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $13.9 
million from the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The increased income is 
the net effect of a higher average volume of loans held for sale due to 
increased originations from the operations acquired in the Maryland 
Acquisition on February 28, 1995 and the LMUSA Purchases, offset by a 
decrease in the weighted average rate of such loans.  The average balance of 
loans held for sale increased to $860 million from $36 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996.  The weighted average yield on loans held for 
sale decreased to 6.97% for 1996 from 7.77% during 1995 due to generally 
decreasing market interest rates during the period.

     Interest income on all mortgage-backed securities, including the 
available for sale portfolio and mortgage-backed securities held to maturity, 
was $64.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of 
$12.4 million from the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The average 
portfolio balances increased $.2 billion, to $3.3 billion during the three 
months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $3.1 billion during the three months 
ended March 31, 1995.  The weighted average yield on all mortgage-backed 
securities increased to 7.64% for the first three months of 1996 from 6.69% 
for the corresponding period in 1995, primarily due to the upward rate 
adjustments of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities 


                                   Page 17

<PAGE>

as the loans underlying such securities repriced to their fully indexed 
rates, without the effect of teaser rates or annual interest rate adjustment 
caps.

     The interest income from Covered Assets declined $4.5 million, to $.7 
million, for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the three 
months ended March 31, 1995.  This decline is due to a reduction in the 
average volume of Covered Assets due to sales, repayments and other 
dispositions of Covered Assets, including the purchase of substantially all 
such remaining assets during the second quarter of 1995 by the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The decline in income due to the lower volume 
is partially offset by an increase in the effective rate earned on such 
Covered Assets, which was 7.36% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
compared to 6.70% for the same period in 1995.  The higher rate is due to the 
net effect of the increase in the Texas Cost of Funds ("TCOF") between the 
two periods, reflecting the lagging nature of TCOF over general fluctuations 
in market interest rates, partially offset by the reduction in the applicable 
margin over TCOF prescribed in the Assistance Agreement.

     Interest income from securities and interest-bearing deposits in banks 
was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of 
$.5 million from the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The average 
portfolio balances during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 
increased to $501 million from $417 million, respectively, primarily due to 
the SFFed Acquisition.  The weighted average yield on these assets decreased 
to 5.59% for the first three months of 1996 from 6.71% for the first three 
months of 1995, primarily due to an overall decline in market interest rates.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Total interest expense was $200.1 million for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $20.9 million from the 
three months ended March 31, 1995.  The increase is the result of additional 
interest-bearing liabilities assumed in the SFFed Acquisition, the issuance 
of the Senior Sub Notes, and incrementally higher rates paid on the 
additional borrowings incurred to replace the retail deposits sold in the 
Branch Sales.

     Interest expense on customer deposits, including brokered deposits, was 
$117.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of 
$16.4 million from the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The average 
balance of customer deposits outstanding increased from $9.7 billion to $10.4 
billion for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  
The deposits of approximately $3.2 billion acquired in the SFFed Acquisition 
and Branch Purchases increased the average balance from period to period by 
$2.3 billion while the $3.8 billion in deposits sold in the Branch Sales 
decreased the average balance from period to period by $2.1 billion due to 
the timing of such acquisitions and sales.   The overall weighted average 
cost of deposits increased from 4.24% for the first three months of 1995 to 
4.52% for the first three months of 1996, due principally to the effect of 
the deposits sold in the Branch Sales having a weighted average rate of 
approximately 4.70% and the deposits assumed in the SFFed Acquisition having 
a weighted average rate of 5.12%, as well as slight increases in the market 
rates of interest paid for brokered deposits.

     Interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase 
totalled $30.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase 
of $6.6 million from the three months ended March 31, 1995. The average 
balance of such 


                                   Page 18

<PAGE>

borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was $2.2 
billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The increase is attributed to $.8 
billion of such liabilities acquired in the SFFed Acquisition together with 
$1.2 billion in additional short-term borrowings to fund the Branch Sales 
during 1996.  The weighted average interest rate on these instruments 
decreased to 5.74% during the first three months of 1996 from 6.55% for the 
first three months of 1995, primarily due to the impact of decreases in 
overall market interest rates for such borrowings.

     Interest expense on borrowings totalled $52.0 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996, a decrease of $2.1 million from the three months 
ended March 31, 1995.  The decrease is attributed to the net effect of a 
volume increase for borrowings assumed in the SFFed Acquisition, the issuance 
of the Senior Sub Notes, and additional borrowings to replace the deposits 
sold in the Branch Sales, offset by the impact of decreases in the rates paid 
on such borrowings largely due to the shorter weighted average maturity of 
the borrowings at March 31, 1996 compared to March 31, 1995. The average 
balance outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was 
$3.2 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively.  The weighted average interest 
rate on these instruments decreased to 6.54% during the first three months of 
1996 from 8.24% for the first three months of 1995, primarily due to the 
impact of decreases in overall market interest rates and the shorter average 
maturity of the portfolio.

     NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income was $108.0 million for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $27.8 million from the 
three months ended March 31, 1995.  The interest rate spread increased to 
2.72% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from 2.20% for the three 
months ended March 31, 1995.

     NONINTEREST INCOME.  Total noninterest income, consisting primarily of 
loan servicing fees, customer banking fees, management fees and gains on 
sales of assets and deposits, was $364.9 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996, an increase of $333.9 million from the three months ended 
March 31, 1995.  Gains on sales of branches account for $307.9 million of the 
increase.

     Loan servicing fees, net of amortization of mortgage servicing rights, 
were $27.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 
$12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  This increase is 
due to the addition of the mortgage servicing portfolios acquired in the 
Maryland Acquisition, the LMUSA Purchases and the SFFed Acquisition, as well 
as servicing rights originated through the increased origination capacity 
provided by these acquisitions.  The single-family residential loan servicing 
portfolio, excluding loans serviced for the Bank, increased from $7.4 billion 
at January 1, 1995 to $27.0 billion at January 1, 1996 and to $43.2 billion 
at March 31, 1996.  During the first three months of 1996, the Company sold 
$1.5 billion in single-family mortgage loans originated for sale as part of 
its ongoing mortgage banking operations compared to $42.6 million of such 
sales for the corresponding period in 1995.

     Fees and service charges related to retail banking operations, 
consisting of depositor fees for transaction accounts, overdrafts, and 
miscellaneous other fees, were $11.8 million for the three months ended March 
31, 1996, compared to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 
1995.  The increase is 


                                   Page 19

<PAGE>

attributed to increased revenues from the retail banking operations acquired 
in the Branch Purchases and the SFFed Acquisition, offset by the impact of 
the Branch Sales, the bulk of which occurred late in the first quarter of 
1996.

     Management fees totalled $3.3 million for the three months ended March 
31, 1996, compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995. 
The increase is due primarily to increased fees received for successful loan 
modifications on investor-owned commercial real estate loans in 1996.

     Gain on sale of branches was $307.9 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996.  See note 2 to the accompanying financial statements for 
additional information regarding the Branch Sales.

     Gain on sale of loans was $13.7 million for the three months ended March 
31, 1996, compared to a loss of $.2 million for the three months ended March 
31, 1995.  The increase is attributed in part to a gain of $7.5 million on 
the sale of $298 million of consumer loans during the first quarter of 1996.  
In addition, the Bank experienced increased gains on sales of single-family 
mortgage loans due to its adoption on April 1, 1995 of Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an 
amendment to Statement No. 65" ("SFAS No. 122").  See--"Mortgage Banking 
Operations".

     Loss on sale of assets was $4.5 million for the three months ended March 
31, 1996.  The loss is primarily the result of a $4.0 million writedown 
recorded on certain collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") in the 
mortgage-backed securities available for sale portfolio determined to have a 
permanent impairment in value.

     Other noninterest income was $5.3 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996, a decrease of $.5 million from the three months ended March 
31, 1995.  The decrease is attributed to a decrease of $.1 million in fees 
earned on check disbursement products, $.1 million in early withdrawal 
penalties on deposits,  and $.6 million in miscellaneous other income, net of 
an increase of $.3 million in dividends on FHLB stock.

     NONINTEREST EXPENSE.  Total noninterest expense was $118.2 million for 
the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $37.9 million from the 
three months ended March 31, 1995, principally due to increased compensation, 
occupancy, deposit insurance premiums, data processing and other noninterest 
expenses, primarily related to the growth of the Bank through the various 
acquisitions in 1995 and the first quarter of 1996 and the timing of the 
Branch Sales.

     Total compensation and employee benefits expense was $60.7 million for 
the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $21.4 million from the 
three months ended March 31, 1995, primarily attributable to accruals for a 
management incentive plan.  Although the number of employees has remained 
substantially the same, there has been a significant decrease in the number 
of employees located in California, offset by additional employees in 
Maryland as a result of the Maryland Acquisition, the transfer of mortgage 
servicing operations to Maryland and the LMUSA Purchases.

     Occupancy and equipment expense was $13.2 million for the three months 
ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $1.6 million from the three months ended 
March 31, 1995, attributed primarily to the increased occupancy expenses 
related to the Maryland and SFFed Acquisitions offset by decreased expense 
due to the operations sold in the Branch Sales.

     Loan expense was $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an
increase of $6.8 million from the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The
increase relates to increased expenses associated with the higher volume of
loans serviced due to the LMUSA Purchases and the Maryland Acquisition. Such
expenses include subservicing fees paid on acquired servicing portfolios prior
to conversion to FNMC's systems and increased pass-through interest expense
for loan payoffs in serviced loan pools.

     SAIF deposit insurance premiums increased $.4 million, to $6.0 million, for
the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase is due to the higher
average balance of deposits outstanding in the first quarter of 1996 compared
to 1995 due largely to the net effect of the Branch Purchases, the SFFed
Acquisition and the Branch Sales.
 
     Data processing expense was $2.8 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996, an increase of $.6 million from the three months ended March 
31, 1995, also attributed to the SFFed Acquisition and increased expenses 
associated with the higher volume of loans serviced in connection with the 
LMUSA Purchases and the Maryland Acquisition.

     Marketing expense was $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996, a decrease of $1.8 million from the three months ended March 31, 1995,
due to reduced marketing efforts nationwide as a result of the Branch Sales.

     Foreclosed real estate operations, including gains on sales, resulted in a
net gain of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to
a net loss of $.9 million for the same period in 1995.  The change is
attributed to a higher volume of sales at comparatively higher prices to
carrying values.

     Amortization of intangible assets increased to $1.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $.2 million for the corresponding period in
1995, primarily due to the amortization of the $112 million  excess cost over
fair value of net assets acquired recorded in connection with the SFFed
Acquisition.

     Other noninterest expense was $26.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, an increase of $10.7 million from the three months ended March
31, 1995, principally due to increased telecommunications, postage, office
supplies, travel and professional fees expenses, all of which are attributed
primarily to the increased loan servicing activity as a result of the Maryland
Acquisition and the LMUSA Purchases.  In addition, a $3.0 million accrual was
recorded in 1996 related to sales tax audits.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  During the three months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995, Parent Holdings recorded income tax expense of $29.0 million and $.7
million, respectively.  Included in tax expense for the three months ended
March

31, 1995 is the reversal of 1993 and 1994 overaccruals of federal taxes
totalling $2.2 million.  The Company's effective federal tax rate before such
adjustments was 2% during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, while its statutory federal tax rate was 35% during both
periods.  The difference between effective and statutory rates was primarily
the result of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.  The
Company's effective state tax rate was approximately 6% and 9.5% during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 

     EXTRAORDINARY ITEM.  During the three months ended March 31, 1995, Parent
Holdings recorded a gain of $2.0 million on the early extinguishment of $250
million in FHLB advances, net of income taxes.

     MINORITY INTEREST.  Minority interest in income represents dividends on the
Preferred Stock of the Bank and the portion of FN Holdings income attributable
to its Class B common stock, which is owned by Hunter's Glen.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is periodically evaluated by
management in order to maintain the allowance at a level that is sufficient to
absorb expected loan losses.  Parent Holdings charges current earnings with a
provision for estimated credit losses on loans receivable.  The provision
considers both specifically identified problem loans as well as credit risks
not specifically identified in the loan portfolio.  Parent Holdings
established provisions for loan losses of $9.9 million and $6.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The allowance
for loan losses is increased by provisions for loan losses and decreased by
charge-offs (net of recoveries).  

     Activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995 is as follows (in thousands):

                                         1996          1995

     A significant portion of the Company's loans are secured by real estate
located within markets where real estate prices continue to be weak. 
Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of those loans is susceptible to
changes in the economic conditions in such regions. Management's periodic
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on past
loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, potential
adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the
estimated value of underlying collateral, current and prospective economic
conditions, and the remaining available balance under the Non-Performing Asset
Sale Agreement (the "Put Agreement") between the Bank and Granite Management
and Disposition, Inc. ("Granite"), a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company.



                              Page 22

     Although management believes that its present allowance for loan losses is
adequate, it will continue to review its loan portfolio to determine the
extent to which any changes in economic conditions or loss experience may
require further provisions in the future.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     Financial institutions are subject to interest rate risk to the degree that
their interest-bearing liabilities, consisting principally of deposits,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances, mature or
reprice more or less frequently, or on a different basis, than their interest-
earning assets.

     First Nationwide actively pursues investment and funding strategies to
minimize the sensitivity of its earnings to interest rate fluctuations while
maintaining the flexibility required to execute its business strategies.  The
Bank measures the interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet through gap
and duration analysis, as well as net interest income and market value
simulation, and, after taking into consideration both the variability of rates
and the maturities of various instruments, evaluates strategies which may
reduce the sensitivity of its earnings to interest rate and market value
fluctuations.  An important decision is the selection of interest-bearing
liabilities and the generation of interest-bearing assets which best match
relative to interest rate changes.  In order to reduce interest rate risk by
increasing the percentage of interest sensitive assets, First Nationwide has
continued its emphasis on the origination of adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM")
products for its portfolio.  Where possible, the Bank seeks to purchase assets
or originate real estate loans that reprice frequently and that on the whole
adjust in accordance with the repricing of its liabilities.  During the three
months ended March 31, 1996, most of the fixed and variable rate real estate
loans originated were sold in the secondary market to provide funds for the
acquisition and divestiture activity occurring during the period.  At March
31, 1996, approximately 89% of First Nationwide's real estate loan portfolio
consisted of ARMs.

     In connection with a 1994 acquisition, the Company acquired the rights and
assumed the obligations under certain interest rate swap agreements.  Under
the terms of these agreements, the Company pays the variable rate based on
LIBOR and receives fixed rates.  During the three months ended March 31, 1996,
the Company's net interest income decreased by $5.5 million as a result of
these interest rate swap agreements, largely due to the amortization of the
premium assigned to these agreements at the time of acquisition.

     One of the most important sources of a financial institution's net income
is net interest income, which is the difference between the yield earned on
interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. 
Net interest income is also dependent on the relative balances of interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  A traditional measure of
interest rate risk within the savings industry is the interest rate
sensitivity gap, which is the sum of all interest-earning assets minus the sum
of all interest-bearing liabilities to be repriced within a given period.  A
gap is considered positive when the interest rate sensitive assets exceed
interest rate sensitive liabilities, while the opposite case results in a
negative gap.  During a period 



                              Page 23


<PAGE>

of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net 
interest income, and a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in 
net interest income, while the opposite would tend to occur in a period of 
falling rates.

     The following table sets forth the projected maturities based upon
contractual maturities as adjusted for projected prepayments and "repricing
mechanisms" (provisions for changes in the interest rates of assets and
liabilities), and the impact of interest rate swap agreements as of March 31,
1996.  Prepayment rates are assumed in each period on substantially all of
First Nationwide's loan portfolio based upon expected loan prepayments. 
Repricing mechanisms on the Bank's assets are subject to limitations such as
caps on the amount that interest rates and payments on its loans may adjust
and, accordingly, such assets may not respond in the same manner or to the
same extent to changes in interest rates as the Bank's liabilities.  In
addition, the interest rate sensitivity of First Nationwide's assets and
liabilities illustrated in the table would vary substantially if different
assumptions were used or if actual experience differed from the assumptions
set forth.  The Company's estimated interest rate sensitivity gap at March 31,
1996 is as follows:

     applicable. Prepayments were estimated generally by using the prepayment 
     rates forecast by various large brokerage firms as of March 31, 1996.  The
     actual maturity and rate sensitivity of these assets could vary 
     substantially if future prepayments differ from First Nationwide's 
     prepayment estimates.
(2)  Consists of $4 million of securities held to maturity, $62 million of
     interest-bearing deposits in other banks and $199 million of short-term
     investment securities.
(3)  Excludes loan loss reserves of $252 million and nonaccrual loans of $220
     million.
(4)  As loans held and securities available for sale may be sold within one
     year, they are considered to be maturing within one year.
(5)  Covered Assets generally reprice quarterly according to the change in
     TCOF, the composite cost of funds for thrift institutions in Texas. 
     Because TCOF is generally reported on a quarterly basis, the Covered
     Assets are included within the one year time frame on this table.
(6)  Fixed rate deposits and deposits with a fixed pricing interval are
     reflected as maturing in the year of contractual maturity or of first
     repricing date.  Money market deposit accounts, demand deposit accounts
     and passbook accounts are reflected as maturing within one year.
(7)  Agreements with notional amounts of $500 million and $250 million
     maturing in April 1996 and September 1996, respectively, have no impact
     within the time periods presented.

     At March 31, 1996, interest-earning assets of Parent Holdings exceeded
interest-bearing liabilities by approximately $180 million. At December 31,
1995, interest-earning assets of Parent Holdings exceeded interest-bearing
liabilities by approximately $132 million.  The change in the cumulative gap
between the two periods is due principally to the SFFed Acquisition, the
Branch Sales and the issuance of the Senior Sub Notes.

LIQUIDITY

     The standard measure of liquidity in the savings industry is the ratio of
cash and short-term U.S. government and other specified securities to deposits
and borrowings due within one year.  The OTS has currently established a minimum
liquidity requirement of 5.0%.  First Nationwide's liquidity ratio was 5.08% and
5.46% at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

     The Company's funds are obtained from the repayment and maturities of loans
and mortgage-backed securities, customer and brokered deposits, loan sales,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, and other
secured and unsecured borrowings.

     A major source of the Company's funding is expected to be its retail
deposit branch network, which management believes will be sufficient to meet
its long-term liquidity needs.  The ability of the Company to retain and
attract new deposits is dependent upon the variety and effectiveness of its
customer account products, customer service and convenience, and rates paid to
customers.  The Company also obtains funds from the repayment and maturities
of loans and mortgage-backed securities, while additional funds can be
obtained from a variety of sources including customer and brokered deposits,
loan sales, securities sold 



                              Page 26


<PAGE>

under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, and other secured and 
unsecured borrowings.  It is anticipated that FHLB advances and securities 
sold under agreements to repurchase will be secondary sources of funding, and 
management expects there to be adequate collateral for such funding 
requirements.

     The Company's primary uses of funds are the origination or purchase of
loans, the funding of maturing certificates of deposit, demand deposit
withdrawals, and the repayment of borrowings.  Certificates of deposit
scheduled to mature during the twelve months ending March 31, 1997 total $4.9
billion.  The Company may renew these certificates, attract new replacement
deposits, replace such funds with other borrowings, or it may elect to reduce
the size of the balance sheet.  In addition, at March 31, 1996, the Company
had FHLB advances and other borrowings of $2.8  billion maturing within twelve
months.  The Company may elect to pay off such debt or to replace such
borrowings with additional FHLB advances at prevailing rates.

     On June 1, 1996, the Bank acquired Home Federal Financial Corporation
("HFFC"), and its wholly owned federally chartered savings association
subsidiary, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of San Francisco, which,
at March 31, 1996, had approximately $717 million in assets and $626 million
in deposits and operated 15 branches in the Northern California area (the
"Home Federal Acquisition").  The aggregate consideration paid in connection
with the Home Federal Acquisition was approximately $70.6 million.

     On December 14, 1995, the Bank entered into an agreement to sell its 21
branch retail network in Michigan, with deposits of approximately $.8 billion,
to Charter One Bank (the "Michigan Branch Sale").  The Michigan Branch Sale
will generate a 7.18% deposit premium, and is expected to close in the second
quarter of 1996.  The Bank currently has sufficient borrowing capacity to fund
the Michigan Branch Sale.  This additional funding may take the form of
additional borrowings under reverse repurchase agreements, additional advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank, or increased cash raised through the
remaining retail deposit network.  Net cash flow from operations, together
with these additional funding sources, is expected to be adequate to maintain
liquidity above the required levels.

     During 1994, the Bank issued 3,007,300 shares of preferred stock
("Preferred Stock").  Cash dividends on the Preferred Stock are noncumulative
and are payable at an annual rate of 11-1/2% if, when, and as declared by the
Board of Directors of the Bank.  The payment of dividends by the Bank is
subject to certain federal laws applicable to savings associations.  Preferred
Stock dividends totalling $8.6 million were paid during the three months ended
March 31, 1996.

     FN Holdings' primary source of cash to pay the interest on and principal of
its $200 million of 12-1/4% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes") and the
Senior Sub Notes is expected to be distributions from the Bank.  The annual
interest on the Senior Notes and the Senior Sub Notes is $24.5 million and
$12.8 million, respectively.  Although FN Holdings expects that distributions
from the Bank will be sufficient to pay interest when due and the principal
amount of the Senior Notes and the Senior Sub Notes at maturity, there can be
no assurance that earnings from the Bank will be sufficient to make such
distributions to FN Holdings.  In addition, there can be no assurance that
such distributions will 



                              Page 27


<PAGE>

be permitted by the terms of any debt instruments of FN Holdings' subsidiaries 
then in effect, by the terms of any class of preferred stock issued by the Bank,
including the Preferred Stock, or under applicable federal thrift laws.

     Parent Holdings' primary source of cash to pay the interest on and
principal of its Parent Senior Notes is expected to be distributions from FN
Holdings.  The annual interest on the Parent Senior Notes will be
approximately $56.9 million.  Although Parent Holdings expects that
distributions from FN Holdings will be sufficient to pay interest when due and
the principal amount of the Parent Senior Notes at maturity, there can be no
assurance that earnings from First Nationwide Bank will be sufficient to make
distributions to FN Holdings, or that FN Holdings will make distributions to
Parent Holdings in amounts sufficient to enable the Parent Holdings to pay
interest on the Parent Senior Notes when due or principal of the Parent Senior
Notes at maturity or that such distributions will be permitted by the terms of
any debt instruments of the Parent Holdings' subsidiaries then in effect,
including the FN Holdings Senior Notes and Senior Sub Notes, by the terms of
any class of preferred stock issued by First Nationwide Bank, including the
Bank Preferred Stock, or under applicable federal thrift laws or regulations.

     The Company anticipates that the cash flow from assets as well as other
sources of funds will provide adequate liquidity in the future.  In addition
to cash and cash equivalents of $385 million at March 31, 1996, the Company
has substantial additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and other sources.

     As presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, the
sources of liquidity vary between quarters.  The primary sources of funds in
the first quarter of 1996 were sales of loans held for sale, net of
originations, of $482 million,  repayments of mortgage backed securities
totalling $292 million, a net decrease in loans receivable of $378 million,
and additional borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
of $4.3 billion.  The primary uses of funds were the $3.8 billion funding of
the Branch Sales, principal payments on borrowings of $1.8 billion, net cash
paid for the SFFed Acquisition of $83.2 million, net cash paid for the LMUSA
1996 Purchase of $48.3 million and dividends totalling $44.0 million.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND IMPAIRED LOANS

     The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current
information and events, it believes it is probable that the Company will be
unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the
loan agreement.  In determining impairment, the Company considers large non-
homogeneous loans including nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings,
and performing loans which exhibit, among other characteristics, high loan-to-
value ratios, low debt-coverage ratios, or other indications that the
borrowers are experiencing increased levels of financial difficulty.  The
Company bases the measurement of collateral-dependent impaired loans on the
fair value of their collateral.  The amount, if any, by which the recorded
investment of the loan exceeds the measure of the impaired loan's value is
recognized by recording a valuation allowance.



                              Page 28


<PAGE>

     At March 31, 1996, the carrying value of loans that are considered to be
impaired totalled $152.4 million (of which $40.1 million were on non-accrual
status).  The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the three
months ended March 31, 1996 was approximately $144.1 million.  For the three
months ended March 31, 1996, the Company recognized interest income on those
impaired loans of $3.6 million, which included $.2 million of interest income
recognized using the cash basis method of income recognition.

     The following table presents the amounts, net of purchase accounting
adjustments and specific allowance for loan losses, of the Company's
nonaccrual loans, foreclosed real estate, troubled debt restructurings and
impaired loans as of the dates indicated.  These categories are not mutually
exclusive; certain loans are included in more than one classification.

     March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.
(b)  Includes nonaccrual loans of $5.7 million and $1.2 million at  March 31,
     1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  At March 31, 1996, $3.2

          million of these nonaccrual, troubled debt restructurings were
          also considered impaired.

     There were no accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more at
March 31, 1996 or December 31, 1995.

     The Company's non-performing assets, consisting of nonaccrual loans net of
purchase accounting adjustments and specific allowance for loan losses and
foreclosed real estate, net, increased to $302 million at March 31, 1996 from
$220 million at December 31, 1995.  A significant portion of the increase is
due to non-performing assets acquired in the SFFed Acquisition, which totalled
$39 million of non-performing loans and $36 million of foreclosed real estate
at March 31, 1996.  In addition, $6 million of single-family foreclosed real
estate was acquired in the LMUSA 1996 Purchase and is covered for loss under
the indemnification provisions of the related contract, provided such real
estate is sold prior to January 31, 1997.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1996, $16.7 million of assets were
sold to Granite under the Put Agreement, leaving a remaining available balance
under the Put Agreement of $95.7 million.  Of the $302 million in non-
performing assets at March 31, 1996, approximately $30.1 million were eligible
to be sold to Granite pursuant to the Put Agreement.

     Parent Holdings, through First Nationwide, continuously manages its credit
risk by assessing the current and estimated future performance of the real
estate markets in which it operates.  The Bank continues to place a high
degree of emphasis on the management of its asset portfolio.  First Nationwide
has three distinct asset management functions:  performing loan asset
management, problem loan asset management and credit review.  Each of the
three functions is charged with the responsibility of reducing the risk
profile within the residential, commercial and multi-family asset portfolios
by applying asset management and risk evaluation techniques that are
consistent with the Bank's portfolio management strategy and regulatory
requirements.  In addition to these asset management functions, First
Nationwide has a specialized credit risk management group that is charged with
the development of credit policies and performing credit risk analyses for all
asset portfolios.

MORTGAGE BANKING OPERATIONS

     The Company, through the Bank and FNMC, has significantly expanded and
enhanced the efficiency of its mortgage banking operations.  With the
consummation of the LMUSA 1996 Purchase on January 31, 1996 and the
acquisition of the single-family loan servicing portfolio in the SFFed
Acquisition, other acquisitions and the originated servicing, the  single-
family residential loans serviced for others totalled $43.2 billion at March
31, 1996, an increase of $16.2 billion from December 31, 1995.  During the
first quarter of 1996, the Company, through the Bank and FNMC, originated and
sold (generally with servicing retained) single-family residential loans
totalling approximately $1.0 billion 


                                     Page 31

<PAGE>

and $1.2 billion, respectively.  Gross revenues from mortgage loan servicing 
activities for the first quarter of 1996 totalled $47.2 million, an increase 
of $30.7 million from the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

     In accounting for its mortgage loan sales prior to April, 1995, a gain or
loss was recognized based on the sum of three components: (i) the difference
between the cash proceeds of the loan sales and the carrying value of the
loans; (ii) the "excess servicing", if any; less (iii) provisions for
estimated losses to be incurred from limited recourse obligations, if any. 
Excess servicing results in a capitalized asset that is amortized as an offset
to servicing fee income using the interest method over the estimated remaining
lives of the loans sold. 

     Effective April 1, 1995, the Company adopted  SFAS No. 122, which requires
that, when a mortgage loan is sold and servicing rights are retained, a
portion of the cost of originating a mortgage loan be allocated to the
mortgage servicing rights based on its fair market value.  This cost of
originating the loan is capitalized and amortized as an offset to servicing
fee income using the interest method over the estimated remaining lives of the
loans sold.   The net gains on sales of single-family mortgage loans during
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 totalled $6.2 million and included amounts
related to the capitalization of originated and excess mortgage servicing
rights of $17.8 million.

     The following is a summary of activity in mortgage servicing rights
purchased ("Purchased"), originated ("Originated") and excess servicing fees
receivable ("Excess") for the three months ended March 31, 1996 (in
thousands):

                                   Purchased   Originated   Excess    Total

                                   --------      -------    ------   --------

     Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are amortized over the period of
estimated future net servicing income.  No allowance for loss due to
impairment of mortgage servicing rights was necessary at March 31, 1996.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Financial Institutions Reforms Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
established three capital requirements for all insured institutions: tangible
capital, core capital and risk-based capital.  In general, tangible capital is
determined by subtracting most intangible assets from common stockholders'
equity (including retained earnings) and noncumulative perpetual preferred
stock.  Core capital generally is the sum of tangible capital plus qualifying
supervisory goodwill and certain other qualifying intangibles.  Total capital
generally is core capital plus a limited amount of supplementary capital such
as other forms of qualifying preferred stock and qualifying subordinated debt.

     At March 31, 1996, the Bank's regulatory capital levels exceeded the
minimum regulatory capital requirements, with tangible, core and risk-based
capital ratios of 6.22%, 6.22% and 12.10%, respectively.  The following is a
reconciliation of the Bank's stockholders' equity to regulatory capital as of
March 31, 1996:

     The amount of adjusted total assets used for the tangible and core capital
ratios is $17.6 billion.  Risk-weighted assets used for the risk-based capital
ratio amounted to $10.9 billion.

     The Bank is also subject to the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 which, among other things, define specific
capital categories based on an institution's capital ratios.  The capital
categories, in declining order, are "well capitalized," "adequately
capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and
"critically undercapitalized."  Institutions categorized as "undercapitalized"
or worse are subject to certain restrictions, including the requirement to
file a capital plan with the OTS, prohibitions on the payment of dividends and
management fees, restrictions on executive compensation, and increased
supervisory monitoring, among other things.  Other restrictions may be imposed
on the institution either by the OTS or by the FDIC, including requirements to
raise additional capital, sell assets, or sell the entire institution.  Once
an institution becomes "critically undercapitalized" it is generally placed in
receivership or conservatorship within 90 days.

     To be considered "well capitalized," a savings institution must generally
have a core capital ratio of at least 5.00%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
of at least 6.00%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.00%. 
An institution is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized" if it has a
tangible equity ratio of 2.00% or less.  At March 31, 1996, First Nationwide's
capital levels were sufficient for it to be considered "well capitalized":

                                                    Risk-based
                                       Core     ----------------------

     Congress has passed budget reconciliation legislation that, if enacted,
would impose a one-time assessment on all SAIF-insured deposits held as of
March 31, 1995, in order to capitalize the SAIF to the required designated
reserve ratio of 1.25% of insured deposits.  The President has vetoed this
budget reconciliation bill.  Such veto, however, was based on issues unrelated
to the provisions dealing with capitalization of the SAIF.  The FDIC, which
would establish the assessment rate, has estimated the rate needed to
capitalize the SAIF to be in the range of 85 cents to 90 cents per $100 of
domestic deposits.  If the assessment is enacted into law, and assessed at the
rate estimated by the FDIC, after giving effect to the SFFed Acquisition, the
Branch Sales, the Branch Purchases, the Michigan Branch Sale and the Home
Federal Acquisition, the effect on the Bank would be a pre-tax charge in the
range of $75 to $80 million ($68 to $72 million on an after-tax basis).  Upon
the SAIF reaching the required reserve ratio, management expects that the
Bank's SAIF deposit premium assessments would decrease substantially from the
Bank's current rate of 23 cents.  The Bank is unable to predict whether this,
or similar, legislation will be enacted.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     As discussed more fully in Item 3, "Legal Proceedings" in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 dated May 15, 1996, the Bank is presently
involved in an arbitration process related to the computation of the purchase
price in a 1994 acquisition.  The arbitration hearing was held from April 22,
1996 to April 25, 1996.  Post-hearing briefs were filed on May 15, 1996. 
Although management of Parent Holdings believes that it will prevail in this
dispute, in the event that Parent Holdings does not so prevail, the result
would not be material to the consolidated financial statements of Parent
Holdings.

     Parent Holdings is involved in legal proceedings on claims incidental to
the normal conduct of its business.  Although it is impossible to predict the
outcome of any outstanding legal proceedings, the management of Parent
Holdings believes that such legal proceedings and claims, individually or in
the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of Parent Holdings.
