   On January 3, 1996, First Nationwide Bank, A Federal Savings Bank merged 
with and into California Federal Bank, A Federal Savings Bank (the "Cal Fed 
Acquisition"). Unless the context otherwise indicates, (i) "First Nationwide" 
refers to First Nationwide Bank, A Federal Savings Bank prior to the 
consummation of the Cal Fed Acquisition, (ii) "Cal Fed" and "California 
Federal" refer to Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. and California Federal Bank, A Federal 
Savings Bank, respectively, prior to the consummation of the Cal Fed 
Acquisition and (iii) the "Bank" refers to California Federal Bank, A Federal 
Savings Bank, the surviving entity after consummation of the Cal Fed 
Acquisition. Other capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the 
meaning ascribed to them in the Glossary of Terms that begins on page P-33 of 
Exhibit 99.1. 

ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS 

   (a) First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc. ("(Parent) Holdings") owns 
directly 80% of the voting common stock of First Nationwide Holdings Inc. 
("Holdings"). On January 3, 1997, Holdings, the parent company of First 
Nationwide consummated the Cal Fed Acquisition. The Cal Fed Acquisition was 
effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") 
dated as of July 27, 1996 between Holdings, Cal Fed and California Federal. 
Following the consummation of the Cal Fed Acquisition, Holdings contributed 
the capital stock of Cal Fed to First Nationwide. Cal Fed was then liquidated 
and First Nationwide was merged with California Federal, with California 
Federal being the surviving bank. 

   Under the Merger Agreement, each share of Cal Fed common stock outstanding 
at the effective time of the merger (other than shares for which dissenter's 
rights were perfected, shares held directly or indirectly by Holdings and 
shares held as treasury stock) were converted into and became the right to 
receive a cash payment of $23.50 and one-tenth of one Secondary Contingent 
Litigation Recovery Participation Interest ("Secondary Litigation Interest"). 
The holders of options or warrants to purchase the common stock of Cal Fed 
received, for each share subject to such options or warrants, the difference 
between $23.50 and the applicable per share option price, one-tenth of one 
Secondary Litigation Interest and, in certain circumstances, one-tenth of one 
Contingent Litigation Recovery Participation Interest ("Litigation 
Interest"). No fractional Secondary Litigation Interests were issued in the 
merger. The stockholders of Cal Fed who would otherwise receive fractional 
interests received their ratable share of the aggregate net cash proceeds 
obtained (after deducting certain selling expenses) from aggregating the 
fractional interests into the nearest whole number of Secondary Litigation 
Interests and selling such Secondary Litigation Interests on the open market. 

   The aggregate cash consideration paid under the Merger Agreement was 
approximately $1.2 billion. Holdings obtained the funds necessary to finance 
the Cal Fed Acquisition and pay related fees and expenses from the following 
sources: 

   (i) the net proceeds of approximately $555 million from the issuance of 
$575 million of 10 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2003 ("10 5/8% Notes") 
by First Nationwide Escrow Corp., which was merged with and into Holdings in 
connection with the Cal Fed Acquisition; 

   (ii) a $145 million investment, funded by borrowings under a credit 
facility, by a newly formed Delaware corporation, all of the common stock of 
which is owned by Gerald J. Ford, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive 
Officer and a director of the Bank, in exchange for $150 million aggregate 
liquidation value of Holdings' Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock 
("Holdings Preferred Stock"); and 

   (iii) existing cash. 

   The net proceeds from the 10 5/8% Notes and the Holdings Preferred Stock 
were contributed to First Nationwide concurrent with the Cal Fed Acquisition 
in the Capital Contribution. 

   In connection with the merger of California Federal with First Nationwide, 
each share of First Nationwide's 11 1/2% Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred 
Stock ("11 1/2% Preferred Stock") was converted into and became one share of 
preferred stock of the Bank, which preferred stock has the same relative 
rights, terms and preferences as the 11 1/2% Preferred Stock. 

   (b) As of September 30, 1996, First Nationwide had approximately $16.8 
billion in assets and approximately $8.8 billion in deposits, and operated 
116 branches in California, Florida and Texas. After 

                                2           
<PAGE>
giving effect to the Cal Fed Acquisition and the Capital Contribution at 
September 30, 1996, First Nationwide would have had approximately $31.0 
billion in assets, approximately $17.6 billion in deposits, would have 
operated approximately 227 branches and would have ranked at such date as the 
fourth largest thrift in the United States in terms of assets, based on 
published sources. As a result of the Cal Fed Acquisition, the Bank has a 
substantial presence in Northern and Southern California.

   NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises and obligations 
hereunder, the parties hereto adopt and make this Plan and prescribe the 
terms and conditions hereof and the manner and basis of carrying it into 
effect, which shall be as follows: 

                            ARTICLE I. THE MERGER 

   SECTION 1.1. Structure of the Merger. On the Effective Date, Merger Sub 
will merge (the "Merger") with and into the Company, with the Company being 
the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"), pursuant to the 
provisions of, and with the effect provided in, the Delaware General 
Corporation Law (the "State Corporation Law"). The separate corporate 
existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease. The Surviving Corporation 
shall continue to be governed by the State Corporation Law and its separate 
corporate existence with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers 
and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger. At the Effective 
Time, the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Merger Sub, in 
effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become the certificate 
of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective 
Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub shall become the directors and 
officers of the Surviving Corporation. 

   SECTION 1.2. Effect on Outstanding Shares. (a) By virtue of the Merger, 
automatically and without any action on the part of the holders of Company 
Common Stock, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding at 
the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares (as defined below)) shall 
become and be converted into the right to receive (i) $23.50 in cash without 
interest and (ii) one-tenth of a Secondary Participation Interest (as defined 
below), provided, however, that no fractional Secondary Participation 
Interests shall be issued, holders of Company Common Stock who would 
otherwise receive fractional Secondary Participation Interests shall not be 
entitled thereto and such holders shall receive their respective pro rata 
portion of the cash proceeds (net of aggregate commissions and any other 
selling expenses) obtained from the Exchange Agent (as hereinafter defined) 
batching such fractional Secondary Participation Interests together with the 
fractional Secondary Participation Interests that would otherwise be received 
by holders of options and warrants pursuant to Section 1.5 into the nearest 
aggregate whole number of Secondary Participation Interests (collectively, 
the "Batched Secondary Participation Interests") and effecting the sale (the 
"Batched Sales") of the Batched Secondary Participation Interests on the open 
market at prevailing prices in accordance with Section 1.3(c) (collectively 
the consideration described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), including 
any cash payment from the proceeds of the Batched Sales, is referred to 
herein as the "Merger Consideration"). As of the Effective Time, each share 
of Company Common Stock held directly or indirectly by the Acquiror, other 
than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt 
previously contracted, and shares held as treasury stock of the Company, 
shall be cancelled and retired and cease to exist, and no exchange or payment 
shall be made with respect thereto. 

   (b) The shares of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding 
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become shares of the Surviving 
Corporation after the Merger and shall thereafter constitute all of the 
issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Surviving 
Corporation. 

   (c) "Excluded Shares" shall mean (i) shares of Company Common Stock the 
holder of which (the "Dissenting Stockholder"), pursuant to the State 
Corporation Law providing for dissenters' or appraisal rights, is entitled to 
receive payment in accordance with the provisions of such State Corporation 
Law, 

                               A-2           
<PAGE>
such holder to have only the rights provided in such State Corporation Law 
(the "Dissenters' Shares"), (ii) shares of Company Common Stock held directly 
or indirectly by the Acquiror, other than shares held in fiduciary capacity 
or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted and (iii) shares of 
Company Common Stock held as treasury stock by the Company. 

   SECTION 1.3. Exchange Procedures. (a) At and after the Effective Time, 
each certificate (each a "Certificate") previously representing shares of 
Company Common Stock shall represent only the right to receive the Merger 
Consideration (without interest on the cash portion thereof). 

   (b) As of the Effective Time, (i) the Acquiror shall deposit, or shall 
cause to be deposited, with ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C., a New 
Jersey limited liability company (the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of 
the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance 
with this Section 1.3, the amount constituting the cash portion of the Merger 
Consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 1.2, and (ii) the Company shall 
deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the 
benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, one or more 
certificates representing (x) the Secondary Participation Interests to be 
distributed to holders of Company Common Stock in exchange for their 
Certificates pursuant to this Section 1.3 and (y) the Batched Secondary 
Participation Interests to be sold by the Exchange Agent on behalf of the 
Company in the Batched Sales pursuant to Sections 1.2 and 1.3(c). 

   (c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Acquiror shall 
cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or 
Certificates the following: (i) a letter of transmittal specifying that 
delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates 
shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, 
which shall be in a form and contain any other reasonable provisions as the 
Acquiror may determine; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the 
surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. In 
addition, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Batched 
Secondary Participation Interests shall be sold on the open market at 
prevailing prices by means of the Batched Sales. The Exchange Agent shall be 
instructed by the Surviving Corporation to effect the Batched Sales on behalf 
of the Surviving Corporation, through the use of one or more broker-dealers, 
over a period of time following the Effective Time and in a manner designed 
not to adversely affect the market prices of the Secondary Participation 
Interests. Upon the proper surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, 
together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, 
the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange 
therefor a check representing the cash portion of the Merger Consideration 
and a certificate representing such number of Secondary Participation 
Interests which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the 
Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions hereof, and the 
Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be 
paid or accrued on the cash portion of the Merger Consideration. In the event 
of a transfer of ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock not 
registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for the cash 
portion of the Merger Consideration and a certificate representing the 
applicable number of Secondary Participation Interests may be issued to the 
transferee if the Certificate representing such Company Common Stock is 
presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by documents sufficient, in the 
reasonable discretion of the Acquiror and the Exchange Agent, (i) to evidence 
and effect such transfer and (ii) to evidence that all applicable stock 
transfer taxes have been paid. 

   (d) From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the 
stock transfer records of the Company of any shares of Company Common Stock 
that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the 
Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Acquiror or the Surviving 
Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger 
Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Plan in 
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.3. 

   (e) Any portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration or the proceeds of 
any investments thereof that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the 
Company for one year after the Effective Time shall be repaid or delivered, 
as applicable, by the Exchange Agent to the Acquiror. Any stockholders of the 
Company who have not theretofore complied with this Section 1.3 shall 
thereafter look only to the Acquiror for payment of their Merger 
Consideration deliverable in respect of each share of Company 

                               A-3           
<PAGE>
 Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Plan 
without any interest on the cash portion of the Merger Consideration. If 
outstanding Certificates are not surrendered or the payment for them not 
claimed prior to the date on which such payments would otherwise escheat to 
or become the property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed 
items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other 
applicable law, become the property of the Acquiror (and to the extent not in 
its possession shall be paid over to it), free and clear of all claims or 
interest of any person previously entitled to such claims. Notwithstanding 
the foregoing, none of the Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange 
Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of Company 
Common Stock for any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to 
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. 

   (f) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or 
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person 
claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by 
the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as 
the Exchange Agent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that 
may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent 
will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the 
Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Plan. 

   SECTION 1.4. Dissenters' Rights. Any Dissenting Stockholder who shall be 
entitled to be paid the "fair value" of his or her Dissenters' Shares, as 
provided in Section 262 of the State Corporation Law, shall not be entitled 
to the Merger Consideration, unless and until the holder thereof shall have 
failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder's 
right to dissent from the Merger under the State Corporation Law, and shall 
be entitled to receive only the payment to the extent provided for by Section 
262 of the State Corporation Law with respect to such Dissenters' Shares. If 
any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively 
withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, the Dissenters' Shares held by such 
Dissenting Stockholder shall thereupon be treated as though such Dissenters' 
Shares had been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration 
pursuant to Section 1.2. 

   SECTION 1.5. Options. At the Effective Time, each option or warrant 
granted by the Company pursuant to the Company Stock Plans to purchase shares 
of Company Common Stock, which is outstanding and unexercised immediately 
prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested and exercisable, 
shall be terminated and each grantee thereof shall be entitled to receive 
from the Company, in lieu of each share of Company Common Stock that would 
otherwise have been issuable upon exercise, (A) an amount in cash computed by 
multiplying (i) the difference between (x) $23.50 and (y) the per share 
exercise price applicable to such option or warrant by (ii) the number of 
such shares of Company Common Stock subject to such option or warrant, (B) to 
the extent applicable, the number of Participation Interests reserved for 
issuance upon exercise of such stock options, and (C) one-tenth of a 
Secondary Participation Interest for each share of Company Common Stock 
subject to such option or warrant, provided however, that no fractional 
Secondary Participation Interests shall be issued, holders of such options or 
warrants who would otherwise receive fractional Secondary Participation 
Interests shall not be entitled thereto and such holders shall receive their 
respective pro rata portion of the aggregate net cash proceeds (determined 
under Section 1.2) obtained from the Batched Sales. The Company agrees to use 
its best efforts to take or cause to be taken all action necessary under such 
options to provide for such termination and payment, including obtaining any 
necessary consents from grantees. The Company will make the payments required 
to be made to grantees of options under this Section 1.5 immediately prior to 
the Effective Time. 

   SECTION 1.6. Alternative Structure. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan 
to the contrary, the Acquiror may specify that, before or after the Merger, 
the Company, the Acquiror, the Bank and any other subsidiary or affiliate of 
the Acquiror shall enter into transactions other than those described in 
Article I hereof in order to effect the purposes of this Plan, and the 
Company and the Acquiror shall take all action necessary and appropriate to 
effect, or cause to be effected, such transactions; provided, however, that 
no such specification may (i) materially and adversely affect the timing of 
the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or the tax effect or 
economic benefits of the Merger to the holders of Company Common Stock, 
Participation Interests or Secondary Participation Interests, or (ii) cause 
any event or condition to exist which constitutes or, after notice or lapse 
of time or both, would constitute a breach of Section 4.20 hereof. 

                               A-4

participation interests in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex 
4.21(b) (the "Secondary Participation Interests").

    (the "Series B Preferred Stock"). Except for the Series B Preferred Stock, 
    the shares of capital stock of each of the Company's Subsidiaries are 
    owned directly or indirectly by the Company free and clear of all liens, 
    claims, encumbrances and restrictions on transfer, and there are no Rights 
    with respect to such capital stock.

       the Bank of board and stockholder approval (collectively, the "Bank 
       Merger Approval") to the definitive documents to be used to effect the 
       Bank Merger (the "Bank Merger Documents"), to consummate the 
       transactions contemplated hereby. Subject in the case of the Company 
       to the receipt of required stockholder approval of this Plan by the 
       holders of the Company Common Stock and in the case of the Bank to the 
       receipt of the Bank Merger Approval, the execution and delivery of 
       this Plan and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby 
       have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate 
       action of the Company and the Bank. This Plan has been duly and 
       validly executed and delivered by each of the Company and the Bank and 
       (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Acquiror) 
       constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company and the Bank 
       enforceable against each entity in accordance with its terms, subject 
       as to enforcement to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, 
       reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability 
       relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity 
       principles. 

        (ii) The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding 
       shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote on this Plan is the 
       only vote of holders of any of the capital stock of the Company or any 
       of its Subsidiaries required for approval of this Plan and 
       consummation of the Merger. 

       (f) No Violations; Consents and Approvals.

       accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of
       any lien, pledge, security interest, charge or other encumbrance upon
       any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its
       Subsidiaries under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any
       note, bond, indenture, deed of trust, loan agreement or other
       agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company or any of its
       Subsidiaries is a party, or to which any of their respective properties
       or assets may be bound or affected, provided, however, that with
       respect to the Bank and the Bank Merger, the foregoing representation
       is subject to the execution and delivery of the Bank Merger Documents
       and the receipt of Bank Merger Approval.

         (ii) Except for (A) the filing of an application with the Office of
       Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") and approval of such application, (B)

       approvals of third parties which are not Governmental Entities (as
       defined below) the failure of which to obtain will not have and would
       not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the
       Company, no consents or approvals of, or filings or registrations with,
       any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental
       authority or instrumentality (each a "Governmental Entity") or with any
       third party are necessary in connection with the execution and delivery
       by the Company of this Plan and the Option Agreement and the
       consummation by the Company of the Merger and the other transactions
       contemplated hereby, and the Company knows of no reason why the
       Requisite Regulatory Approvals (as defined in Section 5.1(b)) should
       not be obtained.

     (g) Financial Statements. The Company has previously made available to 
    the Acquiror copies of (i) the consolidated statements of financial

be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, has received a favorable 
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service deeming such plan to 
be so qualified (a "Qualified Plan"); and no condition exists that is likely 
to result 

                              A-13           
<PAGE>
in revocation of any such favorable determination letter; (vii) all Employee

in Section 3.3(o) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and subject to the 
conditions, limitations and assumptions specified therein, neither the 
execution and delivery of this Plan nor the consummation of the transactions 
contemplated hereby will result in any payment or series of payments by the 
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to any person which is an "excess 
parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) under any 
Employee Plan, increase or secure (by way of a trust or other vehicle) any 
benefits or compensation payable under any Employee Plan, or accelerate the 
time of payment or vesting of any such benefit or compensation, and (xiii) 
with respect to each Employee Plan, the Company has supplied to the Acquiror

    failure to hold or make any such permit, license, certificate of 
    authority, order, approval, filing, application or registration, as 
    applicable, individually or in the aggregate, would not have or be 
    reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company; all

   (v) Material Interests of Certain Persons. Except as disclosed in the 
Company's Proxy Statement for its 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, no

any such officer or director, has any material interest in any material 
contract or property (whether real or personal, tangible or intangible) used 
in or pertaining to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

   (w) Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries are presently insured, and 
since December 31, 1993 have been insured, for reasonable amounts with 
financially sound and reputable insurance companies, against such risks as 
companies engaged in a similar business would, in accordance with prudent 
banking practice, customarily be insured. All of the insurance policies and 
bonds maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries are in full force and 
effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries are not in default thereunder and 
all material claims thereunder have been filed in due and timely fashion. No 
claim by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on or in respect of an

directors present (i) determined that the Merger is 

                              A-16           
<PAGE>
advisable and (ii) approved this Plan, the Merger and (in the case of the 
Company's Board of Directors) the Option Agreement and the transactions 
contemplated hereby and thereby, and at its respective meeting, the Board of 
Directors of the Company has further determined that the Merger is in the 
best interests of the Company and its stockholders and has directed that, 
subject to the provisions of applicable law, this Plan be submitted for 
consideration by the Company's stockholders at a meeting of such 
stockholders. 

   (aa) Indemnification. Except as set forth in Section 3.3 (aa) of the 
Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party 
to any indemnification agreement with any of its present or future directors, 
officers, employees, agents or other persons who serve or served in any other 
capacity with any other enterprise at the request of the Company (a "Covered 
Person"), and to the best knowledge of the Company, there are no claims for 
which any Covered Person would be entitled to indemnification under Section 
4.7 if such provisions were deemed to be in effect. 

   Loans. Each loan, other than any commercial or other loan the principal 
amount of which does not exceed $500,000 or $750,000, respectively, reflected 
as an asset on the consolidated statement of financial condition of the 
Company and its Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1996, and as of each date 
subsequent thereto for which the Company shall have delivered financial 
statements to the Acquiror pursuant to Section 4.17 hereof, (i) is evidenced 
by notes, agreements or other evidences of indebtedness which are true and 
genuine, except where the failure of any such loan to be so evidenced, either 
individually or in the aggregate, would not have or be reasonably likely to 
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, and (ii) is the legal, valid 
and binding obligation of the obligor named therein, enforceable in 
accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent 
conveyance and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting 
creditors' rights and to general equity principles. All such loans and 
extensions of credit that have been made by the Bank and that are subject to 
Section 11 of HOLA comply therewith. Section 3.3(bb) of the Company's 
Disclosure Letter includes (i) a listing of all such loans referred to in the 
first sentence of this Section 3.3(bb) the principal of which is past due or 
will become due within six months or less of June 30, 1996 and (ii) a listing 
of each loan, commitment or other borrowing management with any director, 
executive officer or ten percent stockholder of the Company or any of its 
Subsidiaries, or any person, corporation or enterprise controlling, 
controlled by or under common control with any of the foregoing. 

   (cc) Derivatives Contracts; Structured Notes; Etc. Except as set forth in 
Section 3.3 (cc) of the Company's Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor 
any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or has agreed to enter into an exchange 
traded or over-the-counter equity, interest rate, foreign exchange or other 
swap, forward, future, option, cap, floor or collar or any other contract 
that is not included on the balance sheet and is a derivative contract 
(including various combinations thereof) (each a "Derivative Contract") or 
owns securities that (l) are referred to generically as "structured notes," 
"high risk mortgage derivatives," "capped floating rate notes" or "capped 
floating rate mortgage derivatives" or (2) are likely to have changes in 
value as a result of interest or exchange rate changes that significantly 
exceed normal changes in value attributable to interest or exchange rate 
changes, except for those Derivatives Contracts and other instruments legally 
purchased or entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with 
safe and sound banking practices and regulatory guidance, and listed (as of 
the date hereof) in paragraph 3.3(cc) of its Disclosure Letter or disclosed 
in the Company Reports filed on or prior to the date hereof. All of such 
Derivative Contracts or other instruments are legal, valid and binding 
obligations of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries enforceable in 
accordance with their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by general 
principles of equity whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity 
and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights 
and remedies generally), and are in full force and effect. The Company and 
each of its Subsidiaries have duly performed in all material respects all of 
their material obligations thereunder to the extent that such obligations to 
perform have accrued; and, to the Company's knowledge, there are no breaches, 
violations or defaults or allegations or assertions of such by any party 
thereunder which would have or would reasonably be expected to have a 
Material Adverse Effect on the Company. 

     (dd) Rights Agreement. The Company has taken all action (including, if 
    required, redeeming all of the outstanding Purchase Rights issued pursuant 
    to the Rights Agreement or amending or 

                              A-17           
<PAGE>
    terminating the Rights Agreement) necessary to ensure that (i) the 
    execution and delivery of this Plan and the Option Agreement and the 
    consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not 
    and will not result in the grant of any rights to any person under the 
    Rights Agreement or enable or require the Purchase Rights to be exercised, 
    distributed or triggered, and (ii) except as disclosed in Section 3.3(dd) 
    of the Company's Disclosure Letter, the consummation of the Merger will 
    result in the expiration of the Purchase Rights. 

   SECTION 3.4. Representations and Warranties of the Acquiror. The Acauiror 
represents and warrants to the Company that: 

     (a) Recitals True. The facts set forth in the Recitals of this Plan with

    of the Acquiror and Merger Sub has the requisite corporate power and

    being conducted and to own its respective properties and assets.

       execution and delivery of this Plan and consummation of the 
       transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized 
       by all necessary corporate action of the Acquiror. This Plan has been 
       duly and validly executed and delivered by the Acquiror and (assuming 
       due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company) this Plan 
       constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Acquiror, enforceable 
       against it in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement to 
       bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, 
       moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or 
       affection creditors' rights and to general equity principles. 

        (ii) Merger Sub has the requisite corporate power and authority to 
       execute and deliver this Plan and, subject to the receipt of all

       transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized 
       by all necessary corporation action of Merger Sub and of the Acquiror 
       as sole stockholder of Merger Sub. This Plan has been duly and validly 
       executed and delivered by Merger Sub and (assuming due authorization, 
       execution and delivery by the Company) this Plan constitutes a valid 
       and binding agreement of Merger Sub, enforceable against it in

    by each of the Acquiror and Merger Sub do not, and the consummation of the 
    transactions contemplated hereby by the Acquiror and Merger Sub will not, 
    constitute (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, any law, rule 
    or regulation or any judgment, decree, order, governmental permit or 
    license, or agreement, indenture or instrument of the Acquiror or any 
    Subsidiary of the Acquiror, or to which the Acquiror or any of its 
    Subsidiaries (or any of their respective properties) is subject, or enable 
    any person to enjoin the Merger, the Bank Merger or the other transactions 
    contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) a breach or violation of, or a 
    default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or similar 
    organizational documents of the Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries or 
    (iii) a material breach or violation of, or a material default under (or 
    an event which with due notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a 
    material default under), or result in the termination of, accelerate the 
    performance required by, or result in the creation of any lien, pledge, 
    security interest, charge or other 

                              A-18

    encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Acquiror or any 
    of its Subsidiaries under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of 
    any note, bond, indenture, deed of trust, loan agreement or the agreement,

    connection with the execution and delivery by the Acquiror and Merger Sub 
    of this Plan and the consummation by the Acquiror and Merger Sub of the 
    Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or the execution and 
    delivery by Acquiror of the Option Agreement and the consummation by the 
    Acquiror of the transactions contemplated thereby, and Acquiror knows of 
    no reason why the Requisite Regulatory Approvals (as defined in Section 
    5.1(b)) should not be obtained. 

     (f) Access to Funds. The Acquiror has, or on the Closing Date will have, 
    all funds necessary to consummate the Merger and pay the aggregate cash

   SECTION 4.1. Acquisition Proposals. The Company agrees that neither it nor 
any of its Subsidiaries shall authorize or permit any of its officers, 
directors, employees, agents or representatives (including, without 
limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or 
any of its Subsidiaries) to directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, 
encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal 
offer (including, without limitation, any proposal, tender offer or exchange 
offer to stockholders of the Company) with respect to a merger, consolidation 
or similar transaction involving, or any purchase of all or any significant 
portion of the assets, deposits or any equity securities of, the Company or 
any of its Subsidiaries (any such proposal or offer being hereinafter 
referred to as an "Acquisition Proposal") or, except to the extent legally 
required for the discharge by the Company's board of directors of its 
fiduciary duties as advised by such board's counsel with respect to an 
unsolicited offer from a third party, engage in any negotiations concerning 
or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions 
with, any person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise facilitate 
any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisiton Proposal. The 
Company will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing 
activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties (other than the 
Acquiror) conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. The 
Company will take the necessary steps to inform promptly the appropriate 
individuals or entities referred to in the first sentence hereof of the 
obligations undertaken in this Section 4.1. The Company agrees that it will 
notify the Acquiror immediately if any such inquiries, proposals or offers 
are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such 
negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with the 
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the Company shall promptly thereafter 
provide the details of any such communication to the Acquiror in writing. The 
Company also agrees that it promptly shall request each other person (other 
than the Acquiror) that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement 
in connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company or any of its 
Subsidiaries to return all confidential information heretofore furnished to 
such person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and 
enforce any such confidentiality agreements. 

   SECTION 4.2. Certain Policies of the Company. At the request of the 
Acquiror, after the date on which all required federal depository institution 
regulatory approvals are received and prior to the Effective Time, the 
Company shall (i) to the extent consistent with GAAP and regulatory 
accounting principles and requirements, in each case as applied to financial 
institutions and not objected to by the 

                              A-19           
<PAGE>
Company's independent certified public accountants, modify its loan, 
litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including 
modifying its loan classifications and levels of reserves and establishing 
specific reserves on loans and REO properties) and its other accounting 
methods or periods so as to be consistent with those of the Acquiror, (ii) 
pay or accrue certain expenses, (iii) dispose of certain assets, and (iv) 
take any other action as Acquiror may reasonably request in order to 
facilitate and effect the transfer of contractual and other rights to 
Acquiror and the integration of the businesses and operations of the Company 
and Acquiror; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to 
take such action unless (A) the Acquiror agrees in writing that all 
conditions to the Acquiror's obligation to consummate the Merger set forth in 
Article V hereof (other than the expiration of the 30-day statutory waiting 
period following approval of the Merger by the OTS) have been satisfied or 
waived, (B) the Company shall have received a written, irrevocable waiver by 
the Acquiror of its rights to terminate this Agreement, (C) all of the 
conditions to the Company's obligation to consummate the Merger (other than 
the statutory waiting period described above) shall have been satisfied, and 
(D) Acquiror shall have delivered to the Company documentary evidence 
reasonably satisfactory to the Company certifying that Acquiror has 
sufficient cash to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration. The Company's 
representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Plan shall not be 
deemed to be untrue or breached in any respect for any purpose as a 
consequence of any modifications or changes undertaken solely on account of 
this Section 4.2. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve the 
Company of its obligation to deliver the documents referred to in Section 5.2 
hereof on the Effective Date. 

   SECTION 4.3. Employees. Incorporated herein by this reference are the 
terms of that certain letter of even date herewith from Acquiror to the 
Company (the "Benefits Letter"), and in the event of any conflict between the 
provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Benefits Letter, the terms 
of the Benefits Letter shall be controlling. 

   SECTION 4.4. Access and Information. Upon reasonable notice and subject to 
applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, the Company shall, 
and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, 
employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of the Acquiror 
access, during normal business hours during the time period from the date of 
this Agreement to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, 
contracts, commitments, records, officers, employees, accountants, counsel 
and other representatives and, during such period, the Company shall, and 
shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to the Acquiror (i) a copy of 
each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or 
received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal 
securities laws or federal or state banking laws (other than reports or 
documents which the Company is not permitted to disclose under applicable 
law), and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and 
personnel as the Acquiror may reasonably request. Neither the Company nor any 
of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose 
information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the 
rights of the Company's customers, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege 
or contravene any law, rule, regulations, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary 
duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. 
The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements 
under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence 
apply. The Acquiror will hold all such information in confidence in 
accordance with the provisions of the confidentiality agreement, date July 1, 
1996, between the Acquiror and the Company (the "Confidentiality Agreement"). 
No investigation by Acquiror or its representatives shall affect the 
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company set forth 
herein. 

   SECTION 4.5. Regulatory Matters. (a) The parties hereto shall cooperate 
with each other and use their reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and file 
all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions 
and filings, and to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, 
approvals and authorizations of all third parties and governmental 
authorities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions 
contemplated by this Plan. The Company and the Acquiror shall have the right 
to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the 
other on, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of 
information, all the information relating to the Company or the Acquiror, as 
the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appear in 
any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or 
any governmental 

                              A-20           
<PAGE>
authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Plan. In 
exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act 
reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties hereto agree that they 
will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, 
consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and governmental 
authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions 
contemplated by this Plan and each party will keep the other apprised of the 
status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated 
herein. 

   (b) The Acquiror and the Company shall, upon request, furnish each other 
with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, 
officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably 
necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement or any other 
statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of the 
Acquiror, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any 
governmental authority in connection with the Merger and the other 
transactions contemplated by this Plan. 

   (c) The Acquiror and the Company shall promptly furnish each other with 
copies of written communications received by the Acquiror or the Company, as 
the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, affiliates or 
associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act as 
in effect on the date of this Plan) from, or delivered by any of the 
foregoing to, any governmental authority in respect of the transactions 
contemplated hereby. 

   SECTION 4.6. Antitakeover Statutes. The Company shall take all steps 
necessary to exempt this Plan and the Option Agreement and the transactions 
contemplated hereby and thereby from the requirements of any state 
antitakeover law including, without limitations, Section 203 of the State 
Corporation Law, by action of its board of directors or otherwise. 

   SECTION 4.7. Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance. (a) In 
the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or 
investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, 
including, without limitation, any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or 
investigation in which any person who is now, or has been at any time prior 
to the date of this Plan, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a 
director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the 
"Indemnified Parties") is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in 
whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to 
(i) the fact that he is or was a director, officer, or employee of the 
Company, any of the Subsidiaries of the Company or any of their respective 
predecessors or (ii) this Plan, the Option Agreement, or any of the 
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, 
any actions taken in accordance with Sections 4.2 or 4.19, whether in any 
case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time (collectively, 
the "Matters"), the parties hereto agree to cooperate and use their best 
efforts to defend against and respond thereto. From and after the Effective 
Time, through the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, the Acquiror 
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party, against any 
costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in 
advance of the final disposition of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or 
investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by 
law upon receipt of any undertaking rerquired by applicable law), judgments, 
fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities and amounts paid in settlement 
(collectively, "Costs") incurred in connection with any threatened or actual 
claim, action, suite, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, 
administrative or investigative, arising out of any of the Matters, whether 
asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest 
extent permitted by applicable law. The Acquiror agrees that it will also 
indemnify for a period of six years from the Effective Date in accordance 
with and subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 4.7(a) and 
Section 4.7(b), the advisors of the Company solely for Claims arising out of 
actions taken by them in accordance with Section 4.2 or 4.19 of this Plan. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all rights to 
indemnification in respect of any claim (a "Claim") asserted or made within 
such six year period shall continue until the final disposition of such 
Claim. 

   (b) An Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 
4.7(a), upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or 
investigation, shall promptly notify the Acquiror thereof, but the failure to 
so notify shall not relieve the Acquiror of any liability it may have to such 
Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure to notify materially 
prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any 

                              A-21           
<PAGE>
such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising 
before or after the Effective Time), the Indemnified Parties may retain 
counsel reasonably satisfactory to them after consultation with the Acquiror; 
provided, however, that (i) the Acquiror shall have the right to assume the 
defense thereof and upon such assumption the Acquiror shall not be liable to 
such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other 
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with 
the defense thereof, except that if the Acquiror elects not to assume such 
defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues 
which raise conflicts of interest between the Acquiror and the Indemnified 
parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and 
the Acquiror shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for 
the Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction, (ii) the Indemnified Parties 
will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) the Acquiror shall 
not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent 
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that 
the Acquiror shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party 
when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and 
such determination shall have become final and nonappealable, that the 
indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby 
is prohibited by applicable law. 

   (c) Prior to the Effective Time the Company shall purchase, and for a 
period of six years after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall use its 
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain, directors and officers liability 
insurance "tail" or "runoff" coverage with respect to wrongful acts and/or 
omissions committed or allegedly committed prior to the Effective Time. Such 
coverage shall have an aggregate coverage limit over the term of such policy 
in an amount no less than the annual aggregate coverage limit under the 
Company's existing directors and officers liability policy, and in all other 
respects shall be at least comparable to such existing policy. 

   (d) In the event Acquiror or any of its successors or assigns (i) 
consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the 
continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or 
merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its 
properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, to the 
extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and 
assigns of the Acquiror assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.7. 

   (e) The provisions of this Section 4.7 are intended to be for the benefit 
of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs 
and representatives. 

   SECTION 4.8. Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, 
each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable efforts to take 
promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions and to do promptly, or 
cause to be done promptly, all things necessary, proper or advisable under 
applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the 
transactions contemplated by this Plan as soon as practicable, including 
using efforts to obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, extensions, 
waivers, consents and approvals from all applicable governmental entities, 
effecting all necessary registrations, applications and filings (including, 
without limitation, filings under any applicable state securities laws) and 
obtaining any required contractual consents and regulatory approvals. 

   SECTION 4.9. Publicity. The initial press release announcing this Plan 
shall be a joint press release, and thereafter, subject to the provisions of 
applicable law and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Company and 
the Acquiror shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press 
releases or otherwise making any statements, public or otherwise, with 
respect to the other or the transactions contemplated hereby and in making 
any filings with any governmental entity or with any national securities 
exchange with respect thereto. 

   SECTION 4.10. Proxy Statement. Promptly, but in any event no later than 60 
days following the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and file with the 
SEC the Proxy Statement. Thereafter, the Company shall respond to the 
comments of the staff of the SEC promptly following receipt thereof, and 
promptly thereafter shall mail the Proxy Statement to all holders of record 
(as of the applicable record date) of shares of Company Common Stock. The 
Company represents and covenants that the Proxy Statement and any amendment 
or supplement thereto, at the date of mailing to stockholders of the Company 
and the date of the meeting of the Company's stockholders to be held in 
connection with the Merger, will be in compliance with all relevant rules and 
regulations of the SEC and will not contain any untrue statement 

                              A-22           
<PAGE>
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated 
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the 
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Acquiror and 
the Company shall cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Proxy 
Statement. If requested by the Acquiror, the Company shall employ 
professional proxy solicitors to assist it in contacting stockholders in 
connection with the vote on the Merger. 

   SECTION 4.11. Stockholders' Meeting. The Company shall take all action 
necessary, in accordance with applicable law and its articles of 
incorporation and by-laws, to convene a meeting of the holders of Company 
Common Stock as promptly as practicable for the purpose of considering and 
taking action required by this Plan. Except to the extent legally required 
for the discharge by the board of directors of its fiduciary duties as 
advised by such board's counsel, the board of directors of the Company shall 
recommend that the holders of the Company Common Stock vote in favor of and 
approve the Merger and adopt this Plan. 

   SECTION 4.12. Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give 
prompt notice to the Acquiror of: (a) any notice of, or other communication 
relating to, a default or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, 
would become a default, received by it or any of its Subsidiaries subsequent 
to the date of this Plan and prior to the Effective Time, under any contract 
material to the financial condition, properties, businesses or results of 
operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to which the 
Company or any such Subsidiary is a party or is subject; and (b) any material 
adverse change in the financial condition, properties, business or results of 
operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the 
occurrence of any event which, so far as reasonably can be foreseen at the 
time of its occurrence, is reasonably likely to result in any such change. 
Each of the Company and the Acquiror shall, and the Acquiror shall cause 
Merger Sub, when duly incorporated, to, give prompt notice to the other party 
of any notice or other communication from any third party alleging that the 
consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the 
transactions contemplated by this Plan. Acquiror shall give prompt notice to 
the Company of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event which would or 
(so far as reasonably can be foreseen at the time of such occurrence or 
non-occurrence) is reasonably likely to, prevent Acquiror from obtaining the 
funds necessary to consummate the Merger and pay the aggregate Merger 
Consideration; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to 
this sentence shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available 
hereunder or otherwise to the Company. 

   SECTION 4.13. Rights Agreement. The Company shall take all action 
necessary to ensure that this Plan and the Option Agreement and the 
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not result in 
the grant of any rights to any person under the Rights Agreement or enable or 
require the Purchase Rights to be exercised, distributed or triggered. 

   SECTION 4.14. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED] 

   SECTION 4.15. Advice of Changes. The Company shall promptly advise the 
Acquiror of any change or event having a Material Adverse Effect on the 
Company and each party shall promptly advise the other of any change or event 
which such party believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or 
constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or 
covenants contained herein. From time to time prior to the Effective Time 
(and on the date prior to the Effective Date), the Company will promptly 
supplement or amend the Disclosure Letter delivered to the Acquiror in 
connection with the execution of this Plan to reflect any matter which, if 
existing, occurring or known at the date of this Plan, would have been 
required to be set forth or described in such Disclosure Letter or which is 
necessary to correct any information in such Disclosure Letter which has been 
rendered inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such Disclosure 
Letter shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of 
the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(b), hereof, or the compliance by the 
Company with the covenants and agreements made by it herein. 

   SECTION 4.16. Current Information. During the period from the date of this 
Plan to the Effective Time, the Company will make available one or more of 
its designated representatives to confer on a regular and frequent basis (not 
less than monthly) with representatives of the Acquiror and to report the 
general status of the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
The Company will promptly 

                              A-23           
<PAGE>
notify the Acquiror of any material change in the normal course of business 
or in the operation of the properties of the Company or any of its 
Subsidiaries and of any governmental complaints, investigations or hearings 
(or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated), or the 
institution or the credible threat of significant litigation involving the 
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and will keep the Acquiror fully informed 
of such events. 

   SECTION 4.17. Subsequent Interim and Annual Financial Statements. As soon 
as reasonably available, but in no event more than 45 days after the end of 
each fiscal quarter ending after the date of this Plan, the Company will 
deliver to the Acquiror its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed with the 
SEC under the Exchange Act. As soon as reasonably available, but in no event 
later than March 31, 1997, the Company will deliver to Acquiror its Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as filed 
with the SEC under the Exchange Act. 

   SECTION 4.18. Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the 
Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the 
purposes of this Plan, or to vest the Surviving Corporation or the Bank with 
full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and 
franchises of any of the parties to the Merger or the Bank Merger, 
respectively, the proper officers and directors of each party to this 
Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary 
action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, the 
Acquiror. 

   SECTION 4.19. Cooperation in Financings. The Company agrees to cooperate 
with, and provide reasonable assistance to, Acquiror, at Acquiror's expense, 
in connection with any sale or distribution of securities (whether registered 
or otherwise) made by Acquiror or any of its affiliates in connection with 
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without 
limitation, using its reasonable best effects to (i) making available on a 
timely basis such financial information of the Company and its Subsidiaries 
as may reasonably be required in connection with any such sale or 
distribution; (ii) obtaining "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof from 
the Company's independent certified public accountants and opinion letters 
from the Company's attorneys, with such letter to be in customary form and to 
cover matters of the type customarily covered by accountants and attorneys in 
such transactions; and (iii) making available representatives of the Company 
and its accountants and attorneys in connection with any such sale or 
distribution, including for purposes of due diligence and marketing efforts 
related thereto. 

   SECTION 4.20. Goodwill Litigation. Following the Effective Time, the 
Acquiror shall and shall cause the Bank (and, subject to clause (iii) hereof, 
any permitted successor to the Bank), as applicable, to (i) take all actions 
necessary or desirable to pursue the Bank's claims in the Goodwill 
Litigation, (ii) file with applicable regulatory agencies such periodic and 
other reports as are necessary to furnish and update information to holders 
of the Participation Interests or Secondary Participation Interests, (iii) 
refrain from taking any action that would violate the requirements of 31 
U.S.C. Section 3727, including, without limitation, any action that would 
cause an "assignment" (as defined therein) of the claims to the Goodwill 
Litigation, and (iv) refrain from taking any action to dismiss, settle, 
compromise or otherwise cease prosecution of Goodwill Litigation on terms 
that do not result solely in the payment of cash or other readily monetizable 
consideration by or on behalf of the United States to the Bank. 

   SECTION 4.21. Litigation Recovery. As soon as practicable after the 
receipt of any payment from the United States in settlement of or in 
satisfaction of a final judgment obtained in the Goodwill Litigation, the 
Acquiror shall cause the Bank to distribute the applicable portion of such 
payment in a manner consistent with the terms of the certificates governing 
the rights of the holders of Participation Interests (a copy of which is 
attached hereto as Annex 4.21(a)) and the certificates governing the rights 
of the holders of the Secondary Participation Interests (which will be issued 
substantially in the form of the certificate attached hereto as Annex 
4.21(b)). 

   SECTION 4.22. Registration Statement. Promptly, but in any event no later 
than 60 days following the date hereof, the Bank shall prepare and file with 
the OTS a registration statement covering the issuance and distribution of 
the Secondary Participation Interests (the "Registration Statement"). 
Thereafter, the Bank shall respond to the comments of the staff of the OTS 
promptly following receipt thereof, and shall use its best efforts to have 
the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as 

                              A-24           
<PAGE>
possible. The Bank represents and covenants that the Registration Statement 
any amendment or supplement thereto, at the date of filing thereof, will be 
in compliance with all relevant rules and regulations of the OTS and will not 
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material 
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the 
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, 
not misleading. Acquiror shall cooperate with the Bank in the preparation of 
the Registration Statement and shall have the right to review the 
Registration Statement and to provide comments thereon prior to the Bank's 
filing of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto with the OTS. 

   SECTION 4.23. XCF Acceptance Corporation. Prior to the Effective Time, the 
Company and the Bank shall, and shall cause XCF Acceptance Corporation 
("XCF") to use its best efforts to take all such actions as Acquiror may 
reasonably request to ensure that after the Effective Date the 6 1/2% 
Subordinated Notes are convertible solely into the Merger Consideration. 

   SECTION 4.24. First Citizens Bank Agreement. Promptly following the date 
of this Plan, the Company shall, pursuant to its rights under the Agreement 
and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 14, 1996, between the Company and First 
Citizens Bank, restructure the acquisition by the Company of First Citizens 
Bank as a branch purchase transaction, and take all other action necessary to 
consummate such acquisition as restructured, including the amendment and/or 
withdrawal, as applicable, of its pending applications with the Federal 
Reserve Board and the Banking Department of the State of California with 
respect to such transaction as previously structured. 

                    ARTICLE V. CONDITIONS TO CONSUMMATION 

   SECTION 5.1. Conditions to Each Party's Obligations. The respective 
obligations of the Acquiror, Merger Sub (when duly incorporated) and the

    statutory waiting periods in respect thereof shall have expired (all such 
    approvals and the expirations of all such waiting periods being referred 
    to herein as the "Requisite Regulatory Approvals"). 

     (c) No party hereto shall be subject to any order, decree or injunction 
    of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction which enjoins or prohibits 
    the consummation of the Merger, the Bank Merger or any other transaction 
    contemplated by this Plan, and no litigation or proceeding shall be 
    pending against the 

    Acquiror or the Company or any of their Subsidiaries brought by any 
    Governmental Entity seeking to prevent consummation of the transaction 
    contemplated hereby. 

     (d) No stature, rule, regulation, order, injunction or decree shall have 
    been enacted, entered, promulgated, interpreted, applied or enforced by

<PAGE>
      (b) (i) The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in 
    Sections 3.3(a), 3.3(b), 3.3(e), 3.3(g), 3.3(l), 3.3(u), 3.3(x), 3.3(z) 
    and 3.3(dd) of this Plan shall be true and correct in all respects as of 
    the date of this Plan and (except to the extent such representations and

    all material respects unless the failure or failures of such 
    representations and warranties to be so true and correct, individually or 
    in the aggregate, results or would reasonably be expected to result in a 
    Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The Acquiror shall have received a

    and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, dated the Effective Date,

    Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or federal securities or banking 
    law, such counsel may rely upon the certificates of officers and directors 
    of the Company and of public officials (as to matters of fact) and

<PAGE>
    Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Acquiror, dated 
    the Effective Date, to the foregoing effect documentary evidence

    case such customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are 
    reasonably acceptable to the Company. As to any matter in such opinions 
    which involves matters of fact or matters relating to laws other than the 
    General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or federal securities or 
    banking law, such counsel may rely upon the certificates of officers and 
    directors of the Acquiror or Merger Sub and of public officials (as to 
    matters of fact) and opinions of local counsel (as to matters of law), 
    reasonably acceptable to the Company, provided a copy of each such 
    reliance certificate and opinion shall be attached as an exhibit to the 
    opinion of such counsel. 

                           ARTICLE VI. TERMINATION 

   SECTION 6.1. Termination. This Plan may be terminated, and the Merger 
abandoned, prior to the Effective Date, either before or after its approval 
by the stockholders of the Company: 

     (a) by the mutual consent of the Acquiror and the Company in writing, if 
    the board of directors of each so determines by vote of a majority of the 
    members of its entire board; 

     (b) by the Acquiror or the Company by written notice to the other party 
    if either (i) any request or application for a Requisite Regulatory 
    Approval shall have been denied or (ii) any Governmental Entity of 
    competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final, unappealable order 
    enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the transactions 
    contemplated by this Plan; 

     (c) by the Acquiror or the Company, if its board of directors so 
    determines by vote of a majority of the members of its entire board, in 
    the event that the Merger is not consummated by March 31, 1997 unless 
    failure to so consummate by such time is due to the breach of any material 
    representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Plan by the party 
    seeking to terminate; provided, however, that in the event the Merger is 
    not consummated by March 31, 1997, as a result of the failure to obtain 
    Requisite Regulatory Approval for reasons entirely unrelated to the 
    financing of the transaction, the capital structure of Acquiror or Merger 
    Sub, the adequacy or Merger Sub's financial condition and/or the 
    prospective effect or such financing, structure or condition on the Bank, 
    the Acquiror may extend the termination date set forth herein to June 30, 
    1997; 

     (d) by the Acquiror or the Company (provided that the Company shall not 
    be entitled to terminate this Plan pursuant to this paragraph (d) if it 
    shall be in material breach of any of its obligations under Section 4.11) 
    if any approval of the stockholders of the Company required for the 
    consummation of the Merger shall not have been obtained by reason of the 
    failure to obtain the required vote at a duly held meeting of such 
    stockholders or at any adjournment or postponement thereof; 

     (e) by the Acquiiror or the Company (provided that the terminating party 
    is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant 
    or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a material 
    breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Plan 
    on the part of the other party, which breach is not cured within thirty 
    days following written notice to the party committing such breach, or 
    which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Effective Time, 
    unless such breach is waived by the non-breaching party; provided, 
    however, that neither party shall have the right to terminate this Plan 
    pursuant to this Section 6.1(e) unless the breach of representation or 
    warranty, together with all other such breaches, would entitle the party 
    receiving such representation not to consummate the transactions 
    contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 

                              A-27           
<PAGE>
    5.2(b) (in the case of a breach of representation or warranty by the 
    Company) or Section 5.3(a) (in the case of a breach of representation or 
    warranty by the Acquiror); 

     (f) by the Acquiror or the Company (provided that the terminating party

                           PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA 

   The following pro forma financial data gives effect to the Acquisitions, 
the Branch Sales and the issuances of the Series A Preferred Shares, the 
Holdings Preferred Stock, the Holdings 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, the 
(Parent) Holdings 12 1/2% Senior Notes and the 10 5/8% Notes. The Branch 
Purchases and the Home Federal Acquisition have not been reflected in the pro 
forma financial data because such transactions are not material either 
individually or in the aggregate. 

   The following pro forma financial data as of and for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 are based on (i) the historical consolidated statement of 
financial condition of (Parent) Holdings giving effect to the Cal Fed 
Acquisition and the issuances of the Series A Preferred Shares and the 10 
5/8% Notes as if such transactions occurred on September 30, 1996, and (ii) 
the historical consolidated statement of operations of (Parent) Holdings for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 giving effect to the Cal Fed 
Acquisition, the SFFed Acquisition, the LMUSA 1996 Purchase, the Branch Sales 
and the issuances of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Holdings Preferred 
Stock, the Holdings 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, the (Parent) Holdings 
12 1/2% Senior Notes and the 10 5/8% Notes as if such transactions occurred 
on January 1, 1995. The following pro forma financial data for the year ended 
December 31, 1995 is based on the historical consolidated statement of 
operations of (Parent) Holdings for the year ended December 31, 1995 giving 
effect to the Acquisitions, the Branch Sales and the issuances of the Series 
A Preferred Shares, the Holdings Preferred Stock, the Holdings 9 1/8% Senior 
Subordinated Notes, the (Parent) Holdings 12 1/2% Senior Notes and the 10 
5/8% Notes as if such transactions occurred on January 1, 1995. The pro forma 
adjustments are based on available information and upon certain assumptions 
that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The 
Acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under 
this method of accounting, the purchase price has been allocated to the 
assets and liabilities acquired based on preliminary estimates of fair value. 
The actual fair value is determined as of the consummation of each of the 
Acquisitions. The pro forma financial data do not necessarily reflect the 
results of operations or the financial position of (Parent) Holdings that 
actually would have resulted had the Acquisitions, the Branch Sales and the 
issuances of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Holdings Preferred Stock, the 
Holdings 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, the (Parent) Holdings 12 1/2% 
Senior Notes and the 10 5/8% Notes occurred at the dates indicated, or 
project the results of operations or financial position of (Parent) Holdings 
for any future date or period. 

   The pro forma financial data should be read in conjunction with the notes 
accompanying the Pro Forma Financial Data. In addition, the following pro 
forma financial data should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated 
Financial Statements of (Parent) Holdings and the notes thereto, the 
Consolidated Financial Statements of SFFed and the notes thereto and the 
Consolidated Financial Statements of Cal Fed and California Federal and the 
notes thereto, as filed with each Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

   Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to 
them in the Glossary of Terms which begins on P-33 to this Exhibit 99.1.

</TABLE>

   Severance costs were estimated based on (i) obligations assumed by 
  Holdings under Cal Fed's compensation agreements with eleven of its 
  executive officers; (ii) transaction bonuses to six Cal Fed executive 
  officers; (iii) severance benefits paid or payable pursuant to a letter 
  agreement between Cal Fed and Holdings for approximately 850 employees who 
  are not parties to separate employment agreements; and (iv) relocation 
  benefits for employees who have been offered employment opportunities in 
  northern California. The obligations of Holdings pursuant to items (i) and 
  (ii) above approximate $15.5 million and $10 million, respectively. 
  Non-contract employees are eligible to be paid three weeks of severance per 
  year of service, with a minimum payment of eight weeks severance. In 
  addition, 52 employees have guaranteed minimum severance payments, which 
  often exceed the three weeks per year of service. Holdings' termination 
  plan has been developed, and employees to be terminated have been so 
  notified. Termination dates are expected to fall within six months of the 
  consummation of the Cal Fed Acquisition. 

   Pension termination costs represent lump sum distributions which are 
  required under Cal Fed's defined benefit programs upon termination of such 
  plans. These amounts, totalling $4.2 million, have not been previously 
  accrued. In addition, the purchase agreement includes $2.5 million 
  allocated to an employee retention pool, established to provide additional 
  incentive to critical employees to remain with Cal Fed until the Cal Fed 
  Acquisition was consummated. 

   The majority of conversion and contract costs of $33.3 million represents 
  costs and penalties expected to be incurred by Holdings in connection with 
  the cancellation of outstanding contracts. Such contracts consist primarily 
  of data processing services and real property lease arrangements. This 
  amount also includes the transfer cost of mortgage loan servicing, 
  estimated at $40 per loan, based on the Bank's historical experience.

(A) CAL FED ACQUISITION (CONTINUED) 

   With respect to goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase price 
  over the fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed 
  (the "Excess"), Holdings does not currently anticipate that any of the 
  Excess will be allocated to "identifiable intangible assets" (i.e., core 
  deposit intangible) in connection with the Cal Fed Acquisition. Based on 
  prior core deposit intangible studies, management estimates that the value 
  of California deposits would approximate $135 million, at September 30, 
  1996. The average life of this intangible, based on historical experience, 
  is approximately five years. On the other hand, goodwill related to 
  financial institutions is, by industry standards, typically amortized over 
  a 25 year period. Holdings has elected instead to amortize the Excess over 
  15 years. This treatment is predicated on the fact that 15 years is a 
  reasonable approximation of the combined lives of a separately determinable 
  core deposit intangible and the remaining Excess, and that non-segregation 
  of these assets would not have a significant effect on Holdings' financial 
  statements. 

   (d) Includes (i) $45.7 million in fair value adjustments to reflect 
       obligations assumed under master lease arrangements on Cal Fed's two 
       corporate facilities at market rental rates, net of sub-lease income; 
       (ii) fair value adjustments to reflect lease obligations on branch 
       facilities at market rates; and (iii) fair value adjustments related 
       to certain data processing hardware and software. 

   (e) Represents the estimated after-tax recovery that will inure to 
       Holdings from the California Federal Litigation, net of amounts 
       payable to holders of Litigation Interests and the Secondary 
       Litigation Interests. The estimated fair value of such litigation 
       asset was determined based on the following methodology:

        (i) No adjustment for expenses included due to immateriality to total 
            proceeds. 

       (ii) Subjective discount of approximately 15% was applied in 
            consideration of the variability of the market prices of the CALGZ 
            interests over time (which may be attributed in part to the 
            market's assumptions concerning, among other things, the time 
            frame for the final settlement of the California Federal 
            Litigation, the related discount for the time value of money, and 
            past and future expenses incurred in pursuing the California 
            Federal Litigation). After discount, estimated gross proceeds 
            represent a CALGZ price of $9.67 per share.

       Once the allocation of purchase price has been made, Holdings will 
       incur periodic charges against earnings for any market value declines 
       in the carrying value of this asset. Market value will be determined 
       based upon the market value of the CALGZ and Secondary Litigation 
       Interests, and will also consider a decline in value related to 
       factors of which management is aware which may not be reflected in the 
       market values of these securities. Any increases in market value above 
       the original cost basis established through purchase accounting will 
       be deferred until the final realization of the settlement. 

   (f) Includes fair value adjustments to reflect (i) federal income tax and 
       interest receivable, net of California franchise tax and interest 
       payable, and (ii) investor advances accounts related to the loan 
       servicing operation. 

   (g) Includes fair value adjustments to deficit escrow accounts. 

(2) Represents payment by Holdings in connection with the Cal Fed 
    Acquisition. The cash portion of the purchase price will be obtained by 
    liquidating certain of Cal Fed's assets at book value, as follows:

(3)    Represents the reduction in interest income relative to the loss in 
       yield on the purchase price of the Cal Fed Acquisition funded with 
       existing cash. The loss was estimated using an interest rate of 5.75%, 
       which approximates the average interest rate on short term investments 
       for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 

(4)    Represents adjustments to other noninterest expense relating to the 
       consolidation of Cal Fed's operations into those of Holdings. A 
       substantial portion of Cal Fed's operations will be consolidated into 
       the existing operations of Holdings, resulting in a reduction in 
       headcount of 850, or approximately 36%, across all business areas. In 
       addition, seven retail branches and two administrative offices will be 
       closed. Expected savings from such consolidation include compensation, 
       occupancy, travel, telecommunications, data processing and marketing 
       expenses. The expense reduction for the nine months ended September 30, 
       1996 represents a 36% reduction over historical levels based on 
       management's current transition plan for the second year following the 
       consummation of the Cal Fed Acquisition:

(5)    Represent adjustments to minority interest as follows: 

  (a) Preferred stock dividends on the $200,000 Series A Preferred Shares, 
      net of tax benefit, at an assumed rate of 9 1/4% per annum. The tax 
      benefit is due to the deductibility of the dividend for income tax 
      purposes as a result of California Federal Preferred Capital 
      Corporation's qualification as a real estate investment trust. Each 25 
      basis point change in the interest rate on the Series A Preferred 
      Shares would change interest expense, net of tax benefit, by $338. If 
      the underwriter's 15% over-allotment option is exercised in full, 
      dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares for that period would 
      increase $1,873; 

  (b) Dividends on Holdings Preferred Stock (estimated at 12% per annum), 
      including the compounding effect of dividends paid-in-kind; and 

  (c) Hunter's Glen 20% minority interest, net of tax, relative to the $575 
      million 10 5/8% Notes, the $140 million Holdings 9 1/8% Senior 
      Subordinated Notes and the decrease in interest expense relative to the 
      paydown of securities sold under agreements to repurchase with proceeds 
      from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares.

(3)    Represents the reduction in interest income relative to the loss in 
       yield on the purchase price of the Cal Fed Acquisition funded with 
       existing cash. The loss was estimated using an interest rate of 5.75%, 
       which approximates the average interest rate on short term investments 
       during 1995. 

(4)    Represents adjustments to other noninterest expense relating to the 
       consolidation of Cal Fed's operations into those of (Parent) Holdings. 
       A substantial portion of Cal Fed's operations will be consolidated into 
       the existing operations of (Parent) Holdings, resulting in a reduction 
       in headcount of 850, or approximately 35%, across all business areas. 
       In addition, seven retail branches and two administrative offices will 
       be closed. Expected savings from such consolidation include 
       compensation, occupancy, travel, telecommunications, data processing 
       and marketing expenses. The expense reduction for the year ended 
       December 31, 1995 represents a 32% reduction over historical levels 
       based on management's current transition plan:

(5)    Represent adjustments to minority interest as follows: 

     (a)       Preferred stock dividends on the $200,000 Series A Preferred 
               Shares, net of tax benefits, at an assumed rate of 9 1/4% per 
               annum. The tax benefit is due to the deductibility of the 
               dividend for income tax purposes as a result of Calfornia 
               Federal Preferred Capital Corporation's qualification as a real 
               estate investment trust. Each 25 basis point change in the 
               interest rate on the Series A Preferred Shares would change 
               interest expense, net of tax benefits, by $450. If the 
               underwriter's 15% over-allotment option is exercised in full, 
               dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares, net of tax 
               benefits, for the period would increase by $2,498. 

     (b)       Dividends on Holdings Preferred Stock (estimated at 12% per 
               annum), including the compounding effect of dividends 
               paid-in-kind. 

     (c)       Hunter's Glen 20% minority interest, net of tax, relative to 
               the $575 million Notes at 10 5/8%, the $140 million Holdings 9 
               1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and the decrease in interest 
               expense relative to the paydown of securities sold under 
               agreements to repurchase with proceeds from the issuance of the 
               Series A Preferred Shares.

                               FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

                    FIRST NATIONWIDE BANK COMPLETES MERGER 
                         WITH CALIFORNIA FEDERAL BANK 

      COMBINED BANK KEEPS CAL FED NAME, FIRST NATIONWIDE'S HEADQUARTERS 

   SAN FRANCISCO, January 3, 1997 -- First Nationwide Holdings Inc., parent 
company of First Nationwide Bank, today completed its purchase of Cal Fed 
Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiary, California Federal Bank. The merged bank is 
called California Federal Bank, A Federal Savings Bank, also known as Cal 
Fed. (First Nationwide Holdings' name will not change, nor will that of the 
bank's mortgage subsidiary, First Nationwide Mortgage Corporation.) 

   The combined institution has approximately $30 billion in assets, making 
it the fourth largest thrift in the nation. 

   While the merger is effective today, First Nationwide Bank branches won't 
adopt the Cal Fed name until the weekend of March 21, when all accounts from 
both institutions will be converted to one system. Effective March 24, 
customers of both the "old" California Federal Bank and the "old" First 
Nationwide Bank will be able to conduct business at any of the "new" Cal Fed 
locations. Prior to the conversion, customers of both institutions may make 
automated teller machine (ATM) withdrawals at any First Nationwide or Cal Fed 
branch without paying a "foreign" ATM fee. 

   Included in the Cal Fed acquisition are 119 retail branches with 
approximately $9 billion in deposits. Effective March 24, three of the 
acquired Cal Fed branches (in Palo Alto, Thousand Oaks and Culver City, 
California) will be consolidated into nearby First Nationwide branches 
(renamed Cal Fed), and four First Nationwide Bank branches (in San Rafael, 
Oxnard, Ventura and Glendale, California) will be consolidated into nearby 
Cal Fed branches. 

   Terms of the merger call for holders of Cal Fed Bancorp's common stock to 
receive $23.50 in cash for each of their shares, for a total cash 
consideration of approximately $1.2 billion, plus a new security representing 
the right to participate in a portion of the net cash proceeds, if any, 
recovered in California Federal Bank's pending breach of contract lawsuit 
against the federal government. Shareholders will receive one Secondary 
Contingent Litigation Recovery Participation Interest for each ten common 
shares of Cal Fed Bancorp held at the time of the closing. This new security 
is expected to be quoted and traded on the national market of NASDAQ (CALGL). 

   Within the next few days, Chase Mellon Shareholder Services, the transfer 
agent for the common shares, will send shareholders a letter describing how 
to exchange their shares for the merger consideration. Questions concerning 
this process should be directed to Chase Mellon Shareholder Services at (800) 
806-8035. (For others who want additional information on the security, a copy 
of the offering circular for the security is on file with the Office of 
Thrift Supervision.) 

   At September 30, 1996, First Nationwide Bank's assets totaled $16.8 
billion and California Federal Bank's totaled $14.1 billion. After the branch 
consolidations in March, the combined bank will have 229 retail branches: 101 
in Southern California, 94 in Northern California, 24 in Florida, seven in 
Nevada and three in Texas. 

   Based in San Francisco, the "new" California Federal Bank is a privately 
held institution and an indirect subsidiary of MacAndrews and Forbes Holding 
Inc. The bank and its subsidiaries employ approximately 5,500 people.

The Board of Directors 
Cal Fed Bancorp Inc.: 

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial 
condition of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of

financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial 
statements based on our audits. 

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion. 

   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cal Fed 
Bancorp Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the 
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the 
three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles. 

   As discussed in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

   Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation to serve 
as the holding company for California Federal Bank, F.S.B. ("California 
Federal") During the 1995 fourth quarter, California Federal received both 
regulatory and shareholder approval to reorganize into a holding company 
structure. Prior to the effective date of the reorganization, Cal Fed Bancorp 
Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of California Federal. On December 22, 
1995, as part of the reorganization into a holding company structure, 
California Federal contributed $22 million in capital to Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. 
On January 1, 1996, the reorganization was effected whereby each share of 
California Federal, common stock was converted into one share of Cal Fed 
Bancorp Inc. common stock. As a result of the reorganization, California 
Federal, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. The other 
equity securities remain outstanding securities of California Federal. 
However, while the 7 3/4% noncumulative convertible preferred stock, Series A 
of California Federal remains an outstanding security of California Federal, 
the Series A preferred stock will be convertible into shares of Cal Fed 
Bancorp Inc. common stock if converted. The Bank may call the Series A 
preferred stock at anytime on or after March 31, 1996 at its par value of 
$25.00. 

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cal Fed 
Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the Bank"). The Bank maintains 125 full 
service branches in California and Nevada and is one of the largest savings 
associations in the United States. The Bank offers a broad range of consumer 
financial services including demand and term deposits and mortgage and 
consumer loans. Subsidiaries of the Bank sell insurance and investment 
products to the Bank's customers, and have previously engaged in the real 
estate investment and development and trust business. The Bank's deposit 
gathering and loan production operations are concentrated in California, 
particularly in Southern California. 

   It is the Bank's policy to consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries. 
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated 
in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 and 
1993 data in order to conform to the current presentation. The preparation of 
the Bank's financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of 
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and 
the reported operations of the Bank for the periods presented. Actual results 
may differ from those estimates calculated by the Bank. 

   In December 1995, California Federal contributed approximately $22 million 
in capital to Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. as part of the reorganization into a 
holding company structure. Although the contribution did not impact 
California Federal's consolidated regulatory capital at December 31, 1995, 
California Federal's regulatory capital will be reduced by the amount of the 
contribution in 1996. 

 SHORT-TERM LIQUID INVESTMENTS 

   The Bank's short-term liquid investments consist of federal funds sold and 
certificates of deposit. These investments generally mature within 60 days. 
The Bank invests in these assets as a means to maximize its return on 
short-term funds that it holds for liquidity purposes. 

 SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENTS TO RESELL 

   The Bank invests in securities purchased under agreements to resell 
("repurchase agreements") to maximize the yield on its liquid assets. The 
Bank obtains collateral for these agreements, which normally consists of U.S. 
treasury securities or mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") guaranteed by 
agencies of the U.S. government. The collateral is held in the custody of a 
trustee, who is not a party to the transaction.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued) 
 The duration of these agreements is typically less than 30 days. The Bank 
deals only with nationally recognized investment banking firms as the 
counterparties to these agreements. The Bank's investment in repurchase 
agreements solely consisted of securities purchased under agreements to 
resell identical securities. 

 INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES 

   The Bank's investment in securities principally consists of U.S. treasury 
securities and mortgage-backed securities. The Bank has created MBS when it 
exchanges pools of loans for mortgage-backed securities ("securitized 
loans"). The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, 
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS 115") 
at December 31, 1993. In accordance with SFAS 115, the Bank classifies its 
investment in securities as held to maturity securities, trading securities 
and available for sale securities as applicable. The Bank did not hold any 
trading securities at December 31, 1995 or 1994. 

 Available for Sale Securities 

   The Bank has classified certain securities as "available for sale". The 
Bank classifies securities as available for sale based upon a determination 
that such securities may be sold at a future date or if there are foreseeable 
circumstances under which the Bank would sell such securities. 

   Securities designated as available for sale are recorded at market value. 
Changes in the market value of debt securities held for sale are included in 
shareholders' equity as unrealized holding gains or losses net of the related 
tax effect, if any. Unrealized losses, on available for sale securities 
reflecting a decline in value judged to be other than temporary, are charged 
to income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized gains or 
losses on available for sale securities are computed on a specific 
identification basis. 

 Securities Held to Maturity 

   The Bank has classified certain securities as "held to maturity". 
Securities are designated as held to maturity if the Bank has the positive 
intent and the ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity 
securities are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization of 
any related premiums or the accretion of any related discounts into interest 
income using a methodology which approximates a level yield of interest over 
the estimated remaining period until maturity. Unrealized losses on held to 
maturity securities, reflecting a decline in value, judged by the Bank to be 
other than temporary, are charged to income and reported under the caption 
"Gain (loss) on Sale of Securities" in the Consolidated Statements of 
Operations. 

 LOANS RECEIVABLE 

   The Bank's principal interest earning asset is loans receivable. The Bank 
primarily originates loans secured by residential property of 4 units or less 
("residential 1-4 loans"). Prior to 1993, the Bank was active in the 
origination of loans secured by residential properties of 5 or more units 
("multifamily loans") and loans secured by office buildings, shopping 
centers, industrial buildings, warehouses, marinas and hotels ("commercial 
real estate loans.") The Bank currently limits its originations of 
multifamily and commercial real estate loans to finance the sale of real 
estate. Prior to 1993, the Bank was active in the origination of loans 
secured by vehicles, mobile homes, boats and unsecured personal loans 
("consumer loans"). Since 1993, the Bank has ceased originating consumer 
loans for its own portfolio. However, the Bank does originate consumer loans 
for other financial institutions for a fee. The Bank segregates its loan 
portfolio into loans held for sale and loans held for investment. The Bank 
normally designates a loan as held for sale at the time of origination. The 
Bank's portfolio of residential 1-4 loans, multifamily loans and

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued) 
 commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by property located in 
California. The Bank continues to focus its origination efforts in 
California, particularly in Southern California. The Bank's ability to 
originate loans is affected by economic conditions, competition and the 
market for real estate in California. Likewise, the ability of the Bank's 
borrowers to honor their contractual loan obligations to the Bank are also 
affected by the strength of the California economy and particularly the 
availability of employment and the pricing for residential housing. Should 
the California economy, the market for real estate, and/or the availability 
of employment experience a significant downturn over the near term, the Bank 
may experience a reduction in the level of loan originations and/or an 
increase in loan losses. 

 Loans Receivable Held for Sale 

   The Bank has designated certain of its loans receivable as "held for 
sale". In determining the level of loans held for sale, the Bank considers 
whether such loans would be sold in response to liquidity needs, 
asset/liability management requirements, regulatory capital needs and other 
factors. The Bank's current policy is to designate substantially all 
originations of fixed-rate residential 1-4 loans that conform to the 
underwriting criteria of Fannie Mae ("FNMA"), formerly known as the Federal 
National Mortgage Association or Freddie Mac ("FHLMC"), formerly known as the 
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, as held for sale. 

   Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. 
Unrealized losses are recorded as reduction in earnings and are included 
under the caption "Gain (loss) on sale of loans" in the Consolidated 
Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses from the sale of loans 
receivable are computed under the specific identification method. 

 Gains and Losses from the Sale of Loans 

   The Bank sells whole loans and participations in mortgage loans to 
institutional and private investors. Gains and losses resulting from the 
sales of loans are determined on the specific identification method and 
reflect the extent that the sales proceeds exceed or are less than the Bank's 
investment in the loans (which includes adjusting the unpaid principal 
balance of the loans for unearned discounts, premiums and deferred fees and 
costs at the time of sale). In some cases, the Bank sells loans and continues 
to service such loans for the investor. In these cases, the Bank recognizes a 
gain or loss on the loan sale measured by the present value of the difference 
between the yield on the loans and the yield to be paid to the buyer, reduced 
by the normal servicing fees, over the estimated remaining lives of those 
loans using market prepayment, default and discount rate assumptions. If 
loans are sold with recourse, the estimated liability under the recourse 
provisions is provided for in the computation of the gain or loss. The 
resulting deferred discount or premium ("excess servicing") is amortized as 
an addition to or deduction from income using the interest method, adjusted 
for actual prepayments. The Bank periodically reviews the remaining premium 
to ensure that it does not exceed the present value of the estimated excess 
servicing fees, using current estimates of market prepayments and default. In 
the event that actual prepayments exceed the assumptions used in determining 
the gain or loss, the deferred premium is adjusted to reflect current 
prepayment projections by a charge to operations. To the extent sales of 
loans involve the sale of part of a loan or a pool of loans with 
disproportionate credit and prepayment risks, the cost basis is allocated 
based upon the relative fair market value of the portion sold and the portion 
retained on the date such loans were acquired or, if that is not 
determinable, the date of sale. The amount of excess servicing recorded by 
the Bank was $3.9 million at both December 31, 1995 and 1994. Such amounts 
were included in "Prepaid expenses and other assets" on the Consolidated 
Statements of Financial Condition. 

 Loan Servicing 

   The Bank services its loan portfolio and real estate and consumer loans 
which are owned by independent investors. Loans serviced by the Bank for 
others are primarily the result of the Bank selling

 loans while retaining the servicing of such loans. Loans which are serviced 
for other parties are not included with loans receivable or any other asset 
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Fees earned for 
servicing loans for others are reported as income when the related loan 
payments are collected. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as 
incurred. 

 Loans Receivable Held for Investment 

   The Bank's loan portfolio is comprised of residential 1-4 loans, loans 
secured by income producing real estate ("income property loans") and 
consumer loans. Since 1993, the Bank has not actively engaged in originating 
income property loans, except to finance the sale of the Bank's real estate. 

   Loans receivable are generally recorded at the contractual amounts owed by 
borrowers, less deferrals, unearned interest, the allowance for loan losses, 
undisbursed funds and purchase premiums and discounts. Interest on loans is 
credited to income as earned, to the extent deemed collectible. Discounts on 
loans purchased and unearned interest on consumer loans is accreted into 
interest income using the interest method over the contractual lives of the 
loans, adjusted for actual prepayments. 

 Loan Origination Fees and Costs 

   Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are 
deferred and recognized over the lives of the related loans as an adjustment 
of loan yield using the interest method. When a loan is paid off or sold, any 
unamortized net deferred fee balance is credited to income. Commitment fees 
received in connection with the purchase of loans are deferred and recognized 
over the life of the resulting loans as an adjustment of yield, or if the 
commitment expires unexercised, credited to income upon expiration of the 
commitment. Any costs in connection with the purchase of loans are expensed 
as incurred. 

 Impaired and Non-Performing Loans 

   In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors 
for Impairment of a Loan ("SFAS 114"). Under SFAS 114, a loan is impaired 
when it is "probable" that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts 
due (i.e., both principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of 
the loan agreement. SFAS 114 excludes among other items, large groups of 
smaller-balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for 
impairment. The Bank adopted SFAS 114 as of January 1, 1995. The Bank has 
defined residential 1-4 loans, consumer loans, multifamily loans with an 
outstanding balance of less than $750,000 and commercial real estate loans 
with an outstanding balance of less than $500,000 as homogenous loans. All 
homogenous loans that are 90 days or more delinquent or are in foreclosure 
are automatically placed on non-performing status. Additionally, homogenous 
loans that have had a modification of terms are individually reviewed to 
determine if they meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. The 
measurement of impairment may be based on (i) the present value of the 
expected future cash flows of the impaired loan discounted at the loan's 
original effective interest rate; (ii) the observable market price of the 
impaired loan, or (iii) the fair value of the collateral of a 
collateral-dependent loan. The amount by which the recorded investment of the 
loan exceeds the measure of the impaired loan is recognized by recording a 
valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to the provision for losses. 
For all loans secured by real estate, the Bank measures impairment and 
establishes specific valuation allowances by utilizing the fair value of the 
property collateralizing the loan. Additionally, SFAS 114 eliminates the 
requirement that a creditor account for certain loans as foreclosed assets 
until the creditor has taken possession of the collateral. SFAS 114 became 
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 1994 and is required to be adopted prospectively. 

   All loans designated by the Bank as "impaired" are either placed on 
non-accrual status or are designated as restructured and are included with 
those loans reported as non-performing. The Bank did

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued) 
 not experience a material impact upon its financial condition or operations 
from the implementation of SFAS 114. The Bank's non-performing loans consist 
of loans on which the Bank has ceased the accrual of interest ("non-accrual 
loans") and loans on which various concessions have been made with respect to 
the interest rate or other terms due to the inability of the borrower to 
service the obligation under the original terms of the agreement 
("restructured loans"). It is the Bank's policy to place a loan on 
non-accrual status in the event that the borrower is 90 days or more 
delinquent or earlier if the timely collection of interest and/or principal 
appears doubtful. When a loan is determined to be impaired and/or placed on 
non-accrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed. 
All cash subsequently collected on non-accrual loans are used to reduce the 
recorded investment in the loan until the loan is returned to performing 
status. The Bank's policy allows for loans that are contractually performing 
to be designated as impaired and to be placed on non-accrual status, if the 
future collection of interest and or principal appears doubtful or the risk 
of default is probable. 

 Allowance for Loan Losses 

   The Bank has established valuation allowances for estimated losses on 
specific loans ("specific valuation allowances") and for the inherent risk in 
the loan portfolio which has yet to be specifically identified ("general 
valuation allowances"). 

   The Bank maintains a loan monitoring system which provides a means for the 
timely identification of impaired and potential problem loans and to permit 
the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowances for losses. The Bank's loan 
monitoring system has established specific policies relating to its 
residential 1-4, income property, commercial banking and consumer loan 
portfolios. Additionally, the Bank is required by various regulatory agencies 
to monitor and classify its assets as Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, 
Doubtful and Loss. The Bank's monitoring system further disaggregates loans 
that are determined to be Pass into four separate grades. Additionally, the 
Bank places loans on a watchlist if they exhibit certain credit 
characteristics. These characteristics include dollar size, tenant 
concentration and the timing of maturity. 

   The Bank's residential 1-4 loans and consumer loans are relatively 
homogenous and no single residential 1-4 or consumer loan possesses the 
potential for significant risk of loss. Therefore, the Bank normally 
evaluates the risk of loss on these loans by analyzing their loss experience, 
performance, default rates and other indicators of risk for the portfolios as 
a whole. The Bank stratifies its income property loan portfolio by size and 
by type and treats performing multi-family loans with outstanding principal 
balances less than $750,000 and commercial real estate loans with balances 
less than $500,000 as homogenous portfolios. Income property loans that are 
below the homogenous threshold are evaluated for impairment based upon their 
payment status and on a pool basis. For income property loans exceeding the 
homogenous threshold, the Bank conducts a periodic review of each loan in 
order to test each loan for impairment. The frequency and type of review is 
dependent upon the inherent risk attributed to each loan. The level of risk 
is measured by a scale which evaluates each loan on a continuum of multiple 
grades. The frequency and intensity of the loan review is directly 
proportionate to the adversity of the loan grade. The Bank evaluates the risk 
of default and the risk of loss for each loan subject to individual 
monitoring. During 1995, the Bank expanded the scope of its individual loan 
monitoring to include commercial real estate loans with an outstanding 
principal balance in excess of $500,000. Previously, the Bank had utilized a 
threshold of $750,000 for all income property loans. The Bank expanded the 
scope of its non-homogenous loans to ensure that a majority of its commercial 
real estate loans were subject to individual review. Non-performing income 
property loans and performing loans that have been graded substandard, 
special mention, or watchlist are typically reviewed on a quarterly basis. 
Current appraisals are generally obtained annually as long as the loan 
continues to possess certain risk characteristics. These loans are monitored 
throughout the year by a review of the collateral's operating performance and 
the borrowers

 indicated or demonstrated ability to continue to meet their obligations. 
When necessary, the Bank utilizes operating statements of the collateral to 
perform its own discounted cash flow analyses. These analyses provide the 
basis for specific valuation allowances. Numerous other factors are 
considered in the evaluation, including a review of certain individual 
borrowers' current financial status, credit standing, available collateral, 
the Bank's judgment regarding prevailing and anticipated economic conditions 
and other relevant factors. 

   Specific valuation allowances are provided when an identified decline in 
the value of an impaired loan (or the related collateral) is identified. The 
determination of specific valuation allowances includes a periodic evaluation 
of the financial status of certain individual borrowers or collateral 
relating to loans specifically identified as containing elements of potential 
risk in the loan portfolio. For loans that are impaired and secured by real 
estate or other collateral, the Bank provides specific allowances based upon 
the excess of the outstanding loan amount over the fair value of the related 
collateral with consideration of holding and selling costs. 

   General valuation allowances are based upon the inherent risk in the loan 
portfolio that has not been specifically identified. The general valuation 
allowance is based upon a number of factors, including historical loss 
experience, the level of non-performing and internally classified loans, the 
composition of the loan portfolio, estimated remaining lives of the various 
types of loans within the portfolio, prevailing and forecasted economic 
conditions and the Bank's judgment. General allowances are provided for all 
loans, regardless of any specific allowances provided. The determination of 
the Bank's allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are affected 
by changes in the regional or national economy and market conditions. The 
Bank believes that as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the allowance for loan 
losses is adequate based on current economic and market conditions. However, 
in the course of evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, 
the Bank has assumed that the California economy and the market for real 
estate will remain in the same relative condition that it was in at December 
31, 1995. Should these factors experience a downturn in the near term or if 
market interest rates increase significantly in the near term, the Bank could 
experience a material increase in the level of loan defaults and charge-offs. 

 REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE 

   Real estate held for sale consists of real estate acquired in settlement 
of loans ("REO") and real estate investments ("REI"). REO generally results 
when property collateralizing a loan is foreclosed upon or otherwise acquired 
by the Bank in satisfaction of the loan. REO is recorded at the lower of the 
recorded investment in the loan satisfied, the fair value or the disposition 
value of the related assets acquired less anticipated disposition costs. The 
fair value of the assets is based upon a current appraisal adjusted for 
estimated carrying and selling costs. The disposition value is based upon the 
current market pricing of the asset. Net cash receipts on REO are recorded as 
a reduction in the basis of the asset. Net cash payments are expensed as 
incurred. The Bank's REI consist of properties that the Bank, through its 
subsidiaries, acquired for purposes of development. The Bank has not been 
actively involved in real estate investment or development for several years. 
The Bank's REI consist of properties where the Bank is actively seeking to 
dispose of the property in an expeditious manner. The Bank records its REI at 
the lower of cost or fair value of the properties. The Bank determines fair 
value by utilizing recent sales activity and deducting for holding and 
disposition costs over the estimated remaining period to sell the projects. 
The Bank has assumed an orderly disposition in estimating the holding period 
to sale. Should the Bank be unable to sell the project at the projected 
prices, or if the holding period is substantially longer than forecast, or if 
the Bank's intent with respect to an orderly disposition were to change, the 
fair value ultimately realized by the Bank could be materially lower than the 
Bank's current forecast.

  PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT, DEPRECIATION AND CAPITALIZATION OF INTEREST 

   Maintenance and repairs on premises and equipment are charged to expense 
in the year incurred. Depreciation and amortization of premises and equipment 
are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives 
of the assets. Interest incurred on amounts used to finance the construction 
of such assets is capitalized and amortized over the depreciable lives of the 
related assets. 

 GOODWILL 

   Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of 
tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired, was amortized on a 
straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, ranging from 
20 to 40 years. During 1994, the Bank applied Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 72 Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or 
Thrift Institutions ("SFAS 72") to acquisitions initiated, by the Bank, prior 
to September 30, 1982. SFAS 72 requires, among other things, that to the 
extent, the fair value of liabilities assumed exceeds the fair value of 
identifiable assets acquired from a banking or thrift institution, the 
unidentifiable intangible asset recognized (i.e., goodwill) generally shall 
be amortized over a period no longer than the discount on the acquired 
long-term interest earning assets. SFAS 72 was effective for acquisitions 
initiated after September 30, 1982 with retroactive application permitted. 
The Bank had been accounting for its acquisitions initiated subsequent to 
September 30, 1982 in accordance with SFAS 72. The cumulative effect of the 
retroactive application of SFAS 72 resulted in the acceleration of the Bank's 
goodwill amortization arising from the Bank's thrift institution acquisitions 
initiated prior to September 30, 1982. Under generally accepted accounting 
principles, the cumulative effect from the retroactive application of SFAS 72 
must be reflected as of the first day of the fiscal year in which it is 
implemented. To that extent, $273.7 million of remaining unamortized goodwill 
was eliminated effective January 1, 1994. 

 INCOME TAXES 

   The Bank files a consolidated federal income tax return and a combined 
California franchise tax report with its subsidiaries. 

   The Bank has adopted financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS 
109") and has applied the provisions of SFAS 109 retroactively to January 1, 
1982. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred income tax 
expense (benefit) is derived by establishing deferred tax assets and 
liabilities as of the reporting date for the estimated future tax 
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax 
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax 
rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are 
expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred 
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income 
in the period that includes the enactment date. The Bank's evaluation of the 
realizability of deferred tax assets includes consideration of the amount and 
timing of future reversals of existing temporary differences, as well as 
available taxable income in carryback years. The Bank has not considered 
income from future operations in evaluating the realizability of its deferred 
tax assets. See Note 20 Income Taxes. 

 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY 

   The par value of the Bank's common stock was $1.00 per share at December

outstanding were 49,200,444 and 49,199,044 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, 
respectively. The authorized number of common shares were 100,000,000 at

    During the 1995 fourth quarter, California Federal obtained regulatory 
and shareholder approval to reorganize into a holding company structure. As a 
result of the reorganization, on January 1, 1996, each share of California 
Federal common stock was converted into one share of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. 
common stock. Consequently, California Federal became a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. The other equity securities remain 
outstanding securities of California Federal. However, the 7 3/4% 
noncumulative convertible preferred stock, Series A of California Federal is 
convertible into shares of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. common stock if converted. 

   The par value of the 7 3/4% noncumulative convertible preferred stock, 
Series A of California Federal was $25.00 per share at both December 31, 1995 
and December 31, 1994, respectively. The designated and outstanding number of 
shares at December 31, 1995 were 3,800,000 and 3,740,000, respectively. 
Preferred stock, Series A, dividends are not cumulative and are payable 
quarterly when declared by the Board of Directors of California Federal 
Quarterly dividend payments commenced May 15, 1993. The preferred stock, 
Series A, is convertible by the holder into common stock at anytime, unless 
previously redeemed by California Federal, at a conversion price of $20.16 
per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. The preferred stock, Series 
A, is not redeemable prior to March 31, 1996. The preferred stock, Series A, 
is redeemable solely at the option of California Federal at any time on or 
after March 31, 1996, in whole or in part, at par value plus declared but 
unpaid dividends. 

   During 1994, California Federal issued 1,725,000 shares of 10 5/8% 
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series B ("Preferred Stock, Series 
B"). Cash dividends on the Preferred Stock, Series B, are not cumulative and 
are payable quarterly when declared by the Board of Directors of California 
Federal. The Preferred Stock, Series B, has a liquidation preference and par 
value of $100.00 per share. The par value of the Preferred Stock, Series B 
was $100.00 per share at December 31, 1995 and 1994. Both the designated and 
outstanding number of shares at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were 1,725,000. 
The Preferred Stock, Series B, is generally not redeemable prior to April 1, 
1999. The Preferred Stock, Series B, is redeemable at the option of 
California Federal, in whole or in part, at $105.313 per share on or after 
April 1, 1999 and prior to April 1, 2000, and at prices decreasing annually 
thereafter to the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share on or after 
April 1, 2003, plus declared but unpaid dividends. In addition, the Preferred 
Stock, Series B, is redeemable at the option of California Federal or its 
successor or any acquiring or resulting entity with respect to California 
Federal on or after April 1, 1996 and prior to April 1, 1999 in whole, but 
not in part, in the event of a change of control of California Federal at 
$114.50 per share. 

   On February 28, 1993, California Federal completed a one-for-five reverse 
stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of all classes of California Federal 
common stock. The Reverse Stock Split has been reflected in the consolidated 
financial statements of the Bank for and at all periods presented. Therefore, 
the par value, the number of shares issued, the number of shares authorized, 
the number of shares outstanding and the average number of shares at and for 
all periods are presented as if the reverse stock split had occurred at the 
first day of each fiscal year for all periods presented. 

 NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE 

   Net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings 
(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect, if any, of common 
stock equivalents. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the 
weighted average number of shares used to calculate primary earnings (loss) 
per share were 49,855,150; 43,556,167 and 24,971,836, respectively. For the 
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 the weighted average number of 
shares used to calculate fully diluted earnings (loss) per share were 
50,020,218; 43,556,167 and 24,971,836, respectively.

   Financial instruments are defined under SFAS 107 as cash, evidence of an 
ownership in an entity, or a contract that conveys or imposes on an entity 
the contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash or 
another financial instrument. 

   A significant portion of the Bank's assets and liabilities are financial 
instruments as defined under SFAS 107. The Bank is also a party to financial 
instruments that are not reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial 
Condition ("off balance sheet financial instruments"). Such off-balance sheet 
financial instruments include: commitments to originate loans, standby 
letters of credit, recourse arrangements and interest rate exchange 
agreements. 

 Risks Associated with Financial Instruments 

 Credit Risk 

   Credit risk of a financial instrument is the possibility that a loss may 
result from the failure of another party to perform in accordance with the 
terms of the contract. The most significant credit risk associated with the 
Bank's financial instruments is concentrated in its loans receivable. 
Additionally, the Bank is subject to credit risk on certain off-balance sheet 
financial instruments. The Bank utilizes a loan monitoring system to evaluate 
the level of credit risk on its loan portfolio and utilizes a similar process 
for loans sold by the Bank with recourse and standby letters of credit. The 
Bank's credit risk with respect to interest rate exchange agreements is 
limited to the premium paid on interest rate cap and floor arrangements, and 
the amount of interest due from the counterparty. 

 Market Risk 

   Market risk of a financial instrument is the possibility that future 
changes in market prices may reduce the value of a financial instrument or 
increase the contractual obligations of the Bank. The Bank's market risk is 
concentrated in its portfolios of securities held for sale and loans 
receivable. The Bank's securities held for sale are traded in active markets. 
The values of these securities are susceptable to fluctuations in the general 
market. When a borrower fails to meet the contractual requirements of his 
loan agreement, the Bank is subject to the market risk of the collateral 
securing the loan. 

 Interest Rate Risk 

   Financial instruments are subject to interest rate risk to the extent that 
they reprice on a frequency, degree or basis that varies from market 
repricing. The Bank is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its 
interest earning assets reprice on a different frequency or schedule than its 
interest bearing liabilities. A majority of the Bank's loans receivable and 
mortgage backed securities reprice based upon the eleventh district cost of 
funds index ("COFI"). The repricing of COFI tends to lag market interest 
rates. The Bank closely monitors the pricing sensitivity of its financial 
instruments and, if deemed cost effective, utilizes hedging and other 
asset/liability techniques to mitigate the impact of interest rate risk. 

 Concentrations of Credit Risk 

   The Bank's lending activities are principally conducted in California and 
the Bank currently focuses on the origination of residential 1-4 loans. The 
largest concentration of the Bank's loan portfolio is located

 in the Los Angeles County area of California. The ability of the Bank's 
borrowers to repay their commitments is contingent on several factors, 
including the economic conditions in the borrower's geographic region, 
primarily Southern California, market interest rates, and upon the individual 
financial condition of the borrower. 

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

   SFAS 107 requires the disclosure of the fair value of financial 
instruments, whether or not recognized on the statement of financial 
condition, for which it is practicable to estimate the value. SFAS 107 
requires that the Bank disclose estimated fair values for its financial 
instruments. Fair values, estimates and assumptions are set forth in Note 21 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. 

  Derivative Financial Instruments 

   The Bank's derivative financial instruments are primarily limited to 
interest rate exchange contracts and such contracts are predominantly 
utilized for hedging activities for existing assets and liabilities. 

   The Bank uses several types of interest rate exchange contracts as an 
integral part of its asset/liability management program including: (i) 
interest rate swaps, (ii) interest rate caps and (iii) interest rate floors. 
Interest rate exchange agreements have been utilized primarily to reduce 
interest rate risk on certain interest bearing liabilities and interest 
earning assets. Interest rate swap agreements are instruments in which the 
Bank and another party agree to exchange interest payments on a notional 
amount. When using interest rate cap agreements, the Bank pays another party 
a premium in exchange for cash payments on a notional amount in the event 
that a specified index exceeds a specified rate. When utilizing interest rate 
floors, the Bank pays a premium in exchange for cash payments on a notional 
amount in the event that a specified index is less than a specified rate. 
These premiums are amortized over the duration of the agreement. The notional 
amounts of interest rate exchange agreements are not reflected in the 
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, but are disclosed in the 
notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank records interest 
income and expense on the accrual method for its interest rate exchange 
agreements. Changes in the value of interest rate exchange agreements that 
are designated as held for a purpose other than trading are not reflected in 
the Consolidated Financial Statements unless the Bank determined that it was 
probable that the counterparty would default. Interest rate exchange 
agreements that are designated as held for trading purposes are evaluated at 
fair value, and in the event that such evaluation indicates a net liability 
to the Bank, such liablility is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of 
Financial Condition with corresponding charge reflected on the Consolidated 
Statement of Operations. To the extent that the Bank is in a gain position, 
the Bank records net cash flow as income upon receipt and typically does not 
record unrealized gains as income. 

NEWLY ENACTED AND PROPOSED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 

   In October 1994, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- 
Income Recognition and Disclosures" ("SFAS 118"). SFAS 118 amends SFAS 114 to 
allow a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income on 
an impaired loan. Additionally, SFAS 118 requires, among other things, 
additional disclosure, either in the body of the Financial Statements or in 
the accompanying notes, about the recorded investment in certain impaired 
loans and about how a creditor recognizes interest income related to those 
impaired loans. SFAS 118 is effective for financial statements issued for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The disclosures required by 
SFAS 118 are reflected in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

   In March 1995, the FASB 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 121").

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued) 
 SFAS 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived 
assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those 
assets to be held and used for long-lived assets and certain identifiable 
intangibles to be disposed of. SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and 
certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed 
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that a 
long-lived asset is determined to be impaired, an impairment loss shall be 
recognized. SFAS 121 prescribes that impairment losses for long-lived assets 
shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset 
exceeds its fair value. Additionally, SFAS 121 provides that long-lived 
assets, to be disposed by sale or abandonment, shall be reported at the lower 
of carrying amount or fair value less cost of disposition. This statement is 
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 
15, 1995, earlier application is permitted. The Bank has not yet implemented 
SFAS 121 and does not believe that it will have a material adverse effect on 
its financial position or results of operations. 

   In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS 122"), an 
amendment of FASB Statement No. 65 "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking 
Activities" ("SFAS 65"). SFAS 122 amends SFAS 65 to remove the distinction in 
accounting for mortgage servicing rights resulting from originated loans and 
those resulting from purchased loans. Additionally, SFAS 122 requires that a 
mortgage banking enterprise assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights 
for impairment based on the fair value of those rights SFAS 122 is to be 
applied prospectively to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, 
earlier application is permitted. The Bank has not yet implemented SFAS 122 
and does not believe that it will have a material adverse effect on its 
financial position or results of operations. 

   In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). 
SFAS 123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for 
stock-based employee compensation plans. Those plans include all arrangements 
by which employees receive shares of stock or other equity instruments of the 
employer or the employer incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on 
the price of the employer's stock. Examples are stock purchase plans, stock 
options, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights. This Statement also 
applies to transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to 
acquire goods or services from nonemployees. Those transactions must be 
accounted for, or at least disclosed in the case of stock options, based on 
the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity 
instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The accounting 
requirements of SFAS 123 are effective for transactions entered into in 
fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995. The disclosure requirements 
of SFAS 123 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 1995, or for an earlier fiscal year for which SFAS 123 is 
initially adopted for recognizing compensation cost. The Bank has not yet 
implemented SFAS 123 and does not believe that it will have a material 
adverse effect on its financial position or results of operation. 

   In November 1995, the FASB issued a Special Report as an aid in 
understanding and implementing Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 115. "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" 
("SFAS 115"). The Special Report included such guidance that enabled the Bank 
to reassess the appropriateness of the classifications of all securities held 
and account for any resulting reclassifications at fair value in accordance 
with SFAS 115. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Bank, in accordance 
with the Special Report, redesignated $17.2 million of MBS from "held to 
maturity" to "available for sale". Prior to December 31, 1995, the Bank sold 
the MBS for a loss of less than $0.1 million. 

 PROPOSED LEGISLATION 

   The Bank's deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund 
("SAIF") to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured depositor. The Federal 
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") administers

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Continued) 
 a separate Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") applicable to commercial banks and 
certain other non-SAIF insured institutions. Legislation is currently under 
consideration by Congress which includes a one-time assessment for SAIF 
members such as the Bank. Should legislation be enacted in its currently 
contemplated form, the Bank's one-time assessment would be approximately $80 
million, based upon the Bank's insured deposits at March 31, 1995 and an 
assumed assessment rate of 85 basis points. Additionally, once the SAIF has 
been recapitalized through the one-time assessment, the Bank's deposit 
insurance premium assessments would be reduced from the current rate. The 
currently proposed legislation has evolved significantly over recent months 
and may continue to change until final legislation is enacted, if ever. 
Moreover, there can be no assurance that a premium reduction will occur. 

   Assuming the proposed one-time special assessment became law in 1996 and 
was immediately charged against results of operations, the one-time 
assessment would, most likely, have a material adverse effect on the Bank's 
1996 results of operations. However, the Bank believes that it has sufficient 
regulatory capital to continue to be classified as "well-capitalized" 
following such an assessment. In addition, the Bank would not face any 
liquidity issues as a result of such a one-time assessment. 

   In addition, this proposed legislation would also significantly change the 
federal income tax law affecting the bad debt reserves of savings 
institutions. Although these proposed tax law changes are generally intended 
to provide favorable tax results to savings institutions, there are unique 
situations, such as in the case of the Bank, where the results may be 
unfavorable in comparison to current tax law. The proposed legislation is 
currently under review and may change significantly before final legislation 
is enacted, if ever.

   At December 31, 1995, the Bank had $1,064.5 million of securitized loans 
with some form of recourse to the Bank. In the unanticipated event the 
securitized loans are sold, purchasers would have varying forms of recourse 
to the Bank. The recourse provisions subject the Bank to varying degrees of 
liability in the event of loss. The Bank currently intends to hold its 
portfolio of mortgage-backed securities until maturity. The following table 
presents the composition of securitized loans with potential recourse, by 
collateral type, at December 31, 1995:

    The Bank periodically reviews the credit quality of its portfolio of MBS. 
In the case of securitized loans with recourse provisions, the Bank makes an 
assessment of the credit quality of the underlying loans. See Note 1 Summary 
of Significant Accounting Policies for a discussion of the Bank's loan 
monitoring policies. 

   In November 1995, the FASB issued a Special Report as an aid to 
understanding and implementing SFAS 115. During the fourth quarter of 1995, 
the Bank, in accordance with the Special Report, redesignated $17.2 million 
of MBS from "held to maturity" to "available for sale" and, prior to December 
31, 1995, sold the MBS for a loss of less than $0.1 million. There were no 
sales of MBS during the year ended December 31, 1994. 

NOTE 7: LOANS RECEIVABLE HELD FOR SALE

   (a)   Includes construction loans of $1.4 million at both December 31, 1995 
       and 1994. 

   Certain of the Bank's adjustable loan programs allow the borrower to make 
monthly payments which are lower than the amount required to amortize the 
loan until its maturity in any particular month. In the event that the 
monthly payment is not sufficient to pay the interest accruing during the 
month, the deficiency is added to the loan's principal balance ("negative 
amortization"). In the event that a loan incurs significant negative 
amortization, there is an increased risk that the market value of the 
underlying collateral on the loan may be insufficient to fully satisfy the 
outstanding principal and interest, should the borrower default. 

   At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Bank's loan portfolio included $4.7 
billion and $4.6 billion, respectively, of loans with the potential to 
negatively amortize, of which $1.4 billion and $1.0 billion of loans had some 
amount of negative amortization.

   (1)   Includes states with totals less than $11 million. 

   The majority of the Bank's California real estate loans are secured by 
property located in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties. 

   At December 31, 1995, the largest amount of loans to a single borrower 
totaled $39.8 million. The collateral for the loan is a 224,840 square foot 
office building occupied entirely by certain of the Bank's operating and 
administrative departments and subject to a lease for the life of the loan.

    Impaired and Non-Performing Loans 

   The Bank identifies impaired loans through its loss monitoring process. 
See Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further information 
about the Bank's loan monitoring process. The Bank stratifies its review 
procedures by loans that are reviewed on an individual basis, and those that 
are treated as homogeneous pools. Loans that are considered to be homogeneous 
are evaluated on the basis of their payment record and/or on a pool basis. 
All homogenous loans that are 90 days or more delinquent or are in 
foreclosure are automatically placed on non-performing status. Additionally, 
homogeneous loans that have had a modification of terms are individually 
reviewed to determine if they meet the definition of a troubled debt 
restructuring. 

   Loans that are individually monitored are determined to be impaired if it 
is determined that it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the 
contractual amount of principal and interest owed to the Bank. The Bank's 
policy allows for a loan to be designated as impaired even if the borrower 
has currently fulfilled his repayment obligations. Loans that are delinquent 
90 days or more, in foreclosure or if the borrower has filed for bankruptcy 
are normally designated as impaired. If a loan is designated as impaired, the 
loan is either placed on non-accrual status or designated as a restructured 
loan and is included as a non-performing loan. Cash collected on impaired 
loans on non-accrual status is generally applied as a reduction to the 
carrying value of the loan. 

   The Bank has identified two types of non-performing loans within its 
portfolio: non-accrual loans and restructured loans. The following table 
summarizes the Bank's gross non-performing loans by property type at the 
dates indicated:

respectively, lower than what would have been recorded if the restructured 
loans had been performing in accordance with their original contractual 
terms.

NOTE 8: LOANS RECEIVABLE HELD FOR INVESTMENT  (Continued) 
    The Bank has designated all impaired loans at December 31, 1995 as 
non-accrual or as a troubled debt restructuring. For all impaired loans, the 
Bank evaluates the need for a specific allowance by comparing the fair value 
of the related collateral to the net recorded investment in the loan. For all 
impaired loans where the fair value of the related collateral is less than 
the net recorded investment in the loan, the Bank allocates a specific 
allowance equal to the excess of the net recorded investment in the loan over 
the fair value of the related collateral with consideration given to holding 
and selling costs. All uncollected interest relating to impaired loans has 
been fully reversed from income. At December 31, 1995, the Bank had 
designated $81.3 million of loans as impaired that were performing in 
accordance with their contractual terms. The Bank applies cash collections 
from impaired loans as a reduction of the loan's carrying amount. The average 
recorded investment in the impaired loans was $89.2 million for the year 
ended December 31, 1995. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Bank 
did not recognize interest income on impaired loans. 

   Allowance for Loan Losses 

   The Bank's policies for providing the appropriate level of allowance for 
loan losses are discussed further in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting 
Policies. 

   The following table presents an analysis of the general and specific 
allowances at the dates presented:

   During the normal course of business, the Bank has securitized and/or sold 
certain loans with recourse. Estimated probable loan losses and related costs 
of collection and repossession are provided for at the time of such sales and 
are periodically reevaluated. The Bank evaluates the credit risk of loans 
sold with recourse in the same manner as it reviews its own portfolio of 
loans. The Bank has accrued an allowance for potential future losses on loans 
sold with recourse. Such allowance is included with "Other liabilities" on 
the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

   The Bank has obtained credit insurance for $390.3 million of residential 
loans sold with recourse not included in the amounts above. The amount of the 
Bank's liability on these loans was limited to $2.8 million at December 31, 
1995. The insurance was obtained to limit the Bank's risk of loss on these 
loans. The fair value of the Bank's potential obligation for recourse or 
guarantees on loans sold with recourse at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was 
determined to approximate the value of the liability established by the Bank 
for the potential cost of such obligations, which totaled $11.5 million and 
$11.4 million at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively. 

   At December 31, 1995, $3.8 billion of loans owned by others were serviced 
by the Bank (virtually all of which were originated by the Bank) compared to 
$4.5 billion and $5.3 billion at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 

   Loan servicing fees, which are included as a component of "Fee income" on 
the Consolidated Statements of Operations, totaled $12.4 million, $14.6 
million and $18.5 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 
1993, respectively. 

   During 1993, the Bank sold $5.9 million of loan servicing, and recorded 
gains on the sales of $0.2 million. Such gains have been included with "Other 
income" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 1995 and 1994, 
the Bank had no sales of loan servicing.

   During the second quarter of 1995, the Bank provided an allowance with 
respect to certain litigation involving loans made in 1989 and 1990 to 
California Communities, Inc. ("CCI"), a currently inactive subsidiary of the 
Bank formerly engaged in real estate development activities. During the 
second quarter of 1995, an Orange County California Superior Court jury 
rendered a verdict in which it determined that the Bank was financially 
liable for two loans made to CCI by the plaintiff on which CCI had defaulted. 
The jury awarded the plaintiff $6.5 million in compensatory damages and 
punitive damages of $20.0 million against the Bank and $5.0 million against 
CCI. The Bank has began the process of appealing the judgment. While the Bank 
believes that its liability from this litigation, if any, will be less than 
the amount awarded by the jury, there can be no assurance that the ultimate 
outcome of this litigation will result in an amount less than the amount 
determined by the jury and it is possible that the Bank and its subsidiary 
could ultimately be found liable for an amount in excess of the allowance 
that the Bank has established. The provision for this allowance has been 
included in 1995 real estate operations. 

   The following table presents the activity in the allowance for losses on 
real estate held for sale:

NOTE 9: REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE  (Continued) 
    Amounts charged off against the allowance for losses are shown net of 
recoveries. During 1995, the Bank reduced its allowance for losses on real 
estate held for sale. The reduction resulted from a decrease in the Bank's 
portfolio of real estate held for sale and a decrease in the level of 
charge-offs during 1995. The 1994 bulk sales transactions reduced the level 
of delinquent loans which has resulted in lower levels of foreclosures and 
losses. The Bank did not experience a material level of recoveries during 
1994 or 1993. 

NOTE 10: FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK 

   The Bank's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB") 
stock at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $135.7 million and $134.1 million, 
respectively. The FHLB provides a central credit facility for member 
institutions. As a member of the FHLB system, the Bank is required to own 
capital stock in the FHLB in an amount at least equal to the greater of 1% of 
the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid home loans, home purchase 
contracts and similar obligations at the end of each calendar year, assuming 
for such purposes that at least 30% of its assets were home mortgage loans, 
or 5% of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB. The Bank was in compliance 
with this requirement at December 31, 1995. The fair value of the Bank's FHLB 
stock approximates book value due to the Bank's ability to redeem such stock 
with the FHLB at par value.

NOTE 12: ACCELERATED DISPOSITION OF ASSETS 

   During 1994, the Bank completed the accelerated disposition of $1.3 
billion of performing and non-performing assets (the "1994 Bulk Sales"). The 
assets included in the 1994 Bulk Sales included loans receivable and REO. The 
loans receivable were transferred from the portfolio of loans held for 
investment to "held for accelerated disposition" as an integral part of the 
Bank's 1994 program to raise capital, reduce non-performing assets and 
improve operating efficiency. The 1994 Bulk Sales were designed to reduce the 
Bank's non-performing assets and reduce the Bank's exposure to certain 
performing loans with higher risk profiles than the Bank wished to retain in 
its portfolio. In selecting performing loans for the 1994 Bulk Sales, the 
Bank considered the credit risk inherent in the loan, the concentration that 
certain loans possessed because of the geographic location of the collateral, 
the size of the loan and/or the overall relationship with certain borrowers. 
A substantial amount of the performing loans sold as part of the 1994 Bulk 
Sales were classified as substandard or designated as special mention. The 
Bank recorded a $274.8 million loss from the 1994 Bulk Sales. The Bank 
recorded $60.4 million of charge-offs, relating to previously established 
specific allowances, on loans receivable included in the 1994 Bulk Sales. 

   The table below presents the composition of the assets sold in the 1994 
Bulk Sales:

   During 1993, the Bank completed the sale of a pool of $232.1 million of 
non-performing assets and collected $52.4 million of payoffs on 
non-performing assets (the "1993 Bulk Sale"). Those transactions resulted in 
a $228.7 million reduction in non-accrual loans and a $55.8 million reduction 
in REO. The 1993 Bulk Sale resulted in $80.0 million of charge-offs. The 
charge-offs related to the 1993 Bulk Sale were primarily related to 
previously established specific valuation allowance. 

NOTE 13: DEPOSITS 

   The Bank obtains deposits primarily through a network of full service 
branches located in California and Nevada. Deposits obtained by the Bank are 
insured by the SAIF of the FDIC up to a maximum of $100,000 for each 
depositor.

    At December 31, 1995, the Bank had $273.8 million of brokered deposits. 
At December 31, 1994, the Bank had no brokered deposits. Accrued interest 
payable on deposits at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $10.8 million and $2.7 
million, respectively, which is included in "Interest payable" on the

Southeast Division had deposits totaling approximately $3.9 billion. The Bank 
received a 4.10% deposit premium from the sale which contributed to a net 
gain of $135.0 million recorded from the sale. The $135.0 million net gain 
from the sale of the Southeast Division is included with "Other income" in 
the Consolidated Statements of Operations for 1994.

NOTE 14: ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK 

   FHLB advances totaling $2,671.0 million at December 31, 1995 and $2,526.0 
million at December 31, 1994, principally adjustable rate, fixed term, with 
interest rates ranging from 5.77% to 9.71% are secured by MBS and certain 
mortgage loans aggregating $3.6 billion and $3.7 billion at December 31, 1995 
and 1994, respectively. The rates of the FHLB advances primarily reprice 
based upon the LIBOR index and therefore are sensitive to its volatility. 
Accrued interest payable on FHLB advances was $16.6 million and $9.5 million 
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The accrued interest on FHLB 
advances is included with "Interest payable" on the Consolidated Statements

NOTE 14: ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK  (Continued) 
    At December 31, 1995, the Bank had credit availability with the FHLB 
which allows borrowings up to 30% of the Bank's assets, subject to the 
balance of pledged collateral, with terms up to ten years in the form of FHLB 
Advances and Letters of Credit. 

   During 1995, $1.6 billion of the Bank's FHLB advances, utilized as a 
funding source for the sale of the Southeast Division, matured. Those 
borrowings bore an interest rate based upon the 1 month LIBOR plus 0.27%. 
When those borrowings matured, the FHLB offered to renew them. In order to 
reduce the cost of those borrowings, the Bank entered into an interest rate 
swap agreement which reduces the cost of the advances to approximately the 
one month LIBOR plus 0.20%. The interest rate swap agreement was established, 
such that the index which determines the interest that the Bank receives is 
identical to the index that the Bank pays relative to the FHLB Advances. The 
notional amount of the swaps totaled $1.5 billion at December 31, 1995 and 
the maturity of the swaps is identical to that of the FHLB advances. The 
counterparty to the interest rate swaps is an internationally recognized 
broker-dealer. 

NOTE 15: SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

NOTE 19: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

   The Bank's use of derivative financial instruments is limited to interest 
rate exchange agreements. The Bank utilizes interest rate exchange agreements 
as an integral part of its asset/liability management program. 

   The primary focus of the Banks' asset/liability management program is to 
measure and monitor the sensitivity of net interest income under varying 
interest rate scenarios. On a quarterly basis, the Bank simulates the level 
of net interest income expected to be earned over a twelve month period 
following the date of the simulation. The simulation is based on a projection 
of market interest rates at varying levels and estimates the impact of such 
market rates on the levels of interest earning assets and interest bearing 
liabilities during the measurement period. Also, any periodic or lifetime 
caps that contractually limit the repricing of any interest earning asset is 
considered. 

   Based upon the outcome of the simulation analysis, the Bank may consider 
the use of interest rate exchange agreements as a means of reducing the 
volatility of projected net interest income within certain ranges of 
projected changes in interest rates. The Bank evaluates the effectiveness of 
entering into any interest rate exchange agreements by measuring the cost of 
such agreements in relation to the reduction in net interest income 
volatility within an assumed range of interest rates.

   The estimated fair value of swaps designated as hedges at December 31, 
1995 and 1994 were gains (losses) of $7.1 million and $(6.6) million, 
respectively. 

   At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Bank had an index amortizing interest 
rate swap which was designated as held for trading with a notional balance of 
$50.0 million, with interest payable at a variable rate determined by a 
specified index (3 month LIBOR) in exchange for interest receivable at a 
fixed rate. At December 31, 1995, this agreement had a weighted average rate 
to be paid by the Bank of 5.94% and the weighted average rate to be received 
was 4.82%. At December 31, 1994, this agreement had a weighted average rate 
to be paid by the Bank of 5.63% and the weighted average rate to be received 
was 4.82%. The agreement has an expiration date of April 1999. It is 
partially collateralized by MBS and a letter of credit amounting to 
approximately $5.4 million at December 31, 1995. The fair value of the index 
amortizing swap at December 31, 1995 was a liability of $0.3 million. Such 
liability has been reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Financial 
Condition. The average fair value of the index amortizing swap during 1995 
was a liability of $1.0 million. The fair value of the index amortizing swap 
at December 31, 1994 was a liability of $2.2 million. Such liability has been 
reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

NOTE 19: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS  (Continued) 
    At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Bank was also a party to an interest 
rate floor contract maturing September 1998. In addition, the Bank was a 
party to an interest rate floor contract that matured in June 1995. The Bank 
paid the counterparties premiums in exchange for cash payments in the event 
that a specified index (e.g., 5-year CMT, 1-year CMT) falls below the strike 
price. At December 31, 1995, the notional amount of the remaining interest 
rate floor was $100.0 million, the strike price was 3.38% and the monthly 
floating rate was 5.29%. At December 31, 1994, the notional amount of the 
interest rate floors was $150.0 million, the weighted average strike price 
was 4.51% and the monthly floating rate for the interest rate floor was based 
on the 1-year Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for the floor contract maturing 
September 1998 and the 5-year Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for the floor 
contract that matured in June 1995. The unamortized premium on the interest 
rate floors was zero and $0.3 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, 
respectively. At December 31, 1995, the floating rate exceeded the strike 
price by 1.91%. At December 31, 1994, the floating rate exceeded the strike 
price by an average of 2.79%. 

   The Bank adheres to credit guidelines when entering into interest rate 
exchange agreements in order to minimize its exposure to credit loss in the 
event of non-performance by the counterparties to the agreements. In the 
event that a counterparty to an interest rate swap does not perform in 
accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Bank would be at risk for the 
amount of the net interest receivable due from the counterparty. At December 
31, 1995, the Bank was at risk for $11.9 million of net interest receivable 
from its counterparties on its aggregate interest rate exchange portfolio.

</TABLE>

   The change in the valuation allowance from December 31, 1994 relates to 
the decrease in the net deductible temporary difference in 1995 that cannot 
be realized through carryback to prior periods. The valuation allowance of 
$146.3 million at December 31, 1995 includes $11.0 million related to a $31.5 
million acquired federal net operating loss expiring in 2002 and 2003 and 
$19.9 million attributable to the Bank's tax losses occurring in 1993, 1994 
and 1995. In the event the $31.5 million net operating loss is utilized, 65% 
of the tax benefits may at some time be payable to the FDIC pursuant to the 
acquisition agreement. 

   Although the Bank has reported net earnings since the quarter ended June 
1994, significant regulatory and tax law changes have been proposed that 
could adversely affect future earnings for both financial reporting and 
income tax purposes. See Proposed Legislation in Note 1 -- Summary of 
Significant Accounting Policies for further information. In addition, even 
though the Bank has reported net earnings for financial reporting purposes 
during this period, it has continued to generate losses for income tax 
purposes, thus raising uncertainty regarding the realizability of its net 
operating loss carryforward and other deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the 
Bank has recorded a valuation allowance equal to its net deductible temporary 
difference at December 31, 1995 as well as at December 31, 1994.

expiring in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Bank has 
adjusted net operating loss carryforwards from 1993, 1994 and 1995 for 
California franchise tax purposes of $16.7 million, $23.9 million and $0.8 
million expiring in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The Bank also has 
alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $19.6 million for federal 
income tax purposes and $8.2 million for California franchise tax purposes 
which have no expiration date. 

   For federal income tax purposes, savings institutions that meet certain 
definitional and other tests may compute a bad debt deduction based on either 
the percentage of taxable income method or the experience method. For years 
subsequent to 1986, the Bank has computed its deduction for qualifying real 
property loans based on the experience method. The experience method allows a 
deduction for an amount necessary to increase a savings institution's tax bad 
debt reserve, adjusted for net charge-offs during the current year, up to the 
greater of the adjusted base year reserve amount or an amount based on the 
savings institution's actual 6 year moving average experience. For years 
subsequent to 1987, the adjusted base year reserve amount at the end of any 
year is the tax bad debt reserve amount at the end of 1987 proportionately 
decreased by any reduction in the aggregate related loan base at the end of 
the current year relative to the end of 1987. 

   The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1995 and 1994 do not 
include a potential federal income tax liability of $25.3 million and zero, 
respectively, attributable to the Bank's tax bad debt reserves. Circumstances 
that may require an accrual of this unrecorded tax liability are: a failure 
to meet the tax definition of a savings institution and, if the currently 
proposed tax law changes are enacted, dividend payments in excess of tax 
earnings and profits and other distributions in dissolution, liquidation or 
redemption of stock.

   The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the California Franchise Tax 
Board ("FTB") have completed examinations of the Bank's consolidated federal 
income tax returns through 1988 and combined California franchise tax reports 
through 1985, respectively, and have proposed certain adjustments primarily 
related to timing differences as to the recognition of taxable income and 
expense. The Bank previously filed formal protests with both the IRS and the 
FTB to take exception to these

 proposed adjustments and has filed claims for refund to recover its payment 
of the assessed federal deficiencies. The Bank currently intends to pursue 
most of the positions set forth in its federal and California protests as 
well as in its federal refund claims. 

   In addition, the IRS has completed its examination of the consolidated 
federal income tax returns filed by the Bank's former life insurance company 
affiliate, Beneficial Standard Life Insurance Company ("BSLIC"), through 1989 
and in December 1993, assessed certain deficiencies against BSLIC. In March 
1994, the Bank filed a Tax Court petition on behalf of BSLIC, and in November 
1995, the Tax Court rendered its decision affirming the Bank's position on 
most of the issues contested by the Bank on behalf of BSLIC. 

   The Bank's current income tax receivables at December 31, 1995 and 1994 
were $7.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively. 

NOTE 21: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

   The following summary presents a description of the methodologies and 
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Bank's financial 
instruments. Much of the information used to determine fair value is highly 
subjective. When applicable, readily available market information has been 
utilized. However, for a significant portion of the Bank's financial 
instruments, active markets do not exist. Therefore, considerable judgments 
were required in estimating fair value for certain items. The subjective 
factors include, among other things, the estimated timing and amount of cash 
flows, risk characteristics, credit quality and interest rates, all of which 
are subject to change. Since the fair value is estimated as of December 31, 
1995 and December 31, 1994, the amounts that will actually be realized or 
paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments could be significantly 
different. 

   Cash and Short-Term Investments 

   The book value of cash and short-term investments approximates the fair 
value of such assets because of the short maturity of such investments. 

   Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell 

   The book value of securities purchased under agreements to resell 
approximates the fair value of such securities due to the short term maturity 
of such investments. 

   Securities Available for Sale and Securities Held to Maturity 

   The Bank has utilized market quotes for similar or identical securities in 
an actively traded market, where such a market exists, or has obtained quotes 
from independent security brokers or dealers to determine the fair value of 
its securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. 

   Loans Receivable 

   The fair value of loans receivable was computed as follows: (i) for loans 
held for sale, quotes were obtained from independent brokers or dealers; (ii) 
for performing residential loans held for investment, the Bank aggregated the 
loans into pools based upon secondary market requirements for mortgage-backed 
securities and utilized market quotes for similar securities; (iii) for 
performing consumer, commercial banking and income property, the fair value 
was determined by a discounted cash flow analysis and (iv) the fair value of 
impaired income property loans was determined on an individual basis, based 
upon the fair value of the related collateral, reduced by an estimate of the 
cost and timing of dispositions. For impaired residential 1-4 and consumer 
loans, fair value was estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, 
adjusted for the Bank's estimate of excess credit risk.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 21: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS  (Continued) 
    Deposits 

   The fair value of deposits was determined as follows: (i) for demand 
deposits, passbook accounts, money market accounts and other deposits 
immediately withdrawable, fair value was determined to approximate the amount 
payable on demand and (ii) for fixed maturity deposits, the fair value was 
estimated by discounting expected cash flows using an average of rates 
offered by other institutions combined with the Bank's current offering rates 
of term deposits with similar maturities. In accordance with SFAS 107, no 
value has been assigned to the Bank's long-term relationships with its 
deposit customers (core deposit intangible) since it is not a financial 
instrument as defined under SFAS 107. 

   Borrowings 

   The fair value of the Bank's borrowings was determined as follows: (i) the 
fair value of FHLB advances was based upon current rates for advances with 
similar terms and maturities; (ii) the fair value of student loan marketing 
advances was estimated to approximate the amounts due as the rates on these 
borrowings fluctuate with a market index; (iii) the fair value of reverse 
repurchase agreements was based upon the current pricing for such agreements 
and (iv) the fair value of the Bank's various other borrowings was based upon 
alternative borrowing costs. 

   Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments 

   The fair value of the Bank's off-balance sheet financial instruments was 
determined as follows: (i) the fair value of interest rate exchange 
agreements that do not have an active market was determined by computing the 
net present value of the estimated interest due to the Bank as compared to 
the estimated interest due to the counterparties of the interest rate 
exchange agreements; (ii) the fair value of the Bank's recourse arrangements 
on assets sold was determined to approximate the value of the liability 
currently recorded for such recourse arrangements; and (iii) the Bank's 
standby letters of credit and commitments to originate or sell loans have 
terms that are consistent with current market terms. Therefore, the Bank 
estimates that the face amount of these commitments approximates book value.

 NOTE 22: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

   The Bank is a party to various outstanding commitments and contingent 
liabilities in the normal course of business which are not reflected in the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements. The following is a summary of 
such commitments and contingencies:

</TABLE>

   The Bank makes contractual commitments to extend credit, which are legally 
binding agreements to lend money to customers at predetermined interest rates 
for a specified period of time. The Bank does not anticipate any material 
loss as a result of these transactions. The Bank applies the same credit 
standards used in the lending process when extending these commitments, and 
periodically reassesses the customers' creditworthiness through ongoing 
credit reviews. 

   The fair value of the Bank's commitments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was 
based upon (i) the contractual terms of the commitment as compared to market 
terms, (ii) the period of time that the commitments could be exercised and 
(iii) the inherent credit risk of the commitments. The fair value of the 
Bank's commitments approximates the amount of the outstanding commitment at 
December 31, 1995 and 1994. 

   During the second quarter of 1995, the Bank provided an allowance with 
respect to certain litigation involving loans made in 1989 and 1990 to 
California Communities Inc. ("CCI"), a currently inactive subsidiary of the 
Bank formerly engaged in real estate development activities. During the 
second quarter of 1995, an Orange County, California Superior Court jury 
rendered a verdict in which it determined that the Bank was financially 
liable for two loans made to CCI by the plaintiff. CCI subsequently defaulted 
on the loans. The jury awarded the plaintiff $6.5 million in compensatory 
damages and punitive damages of $20.0 million against the Bank and $5.0 
million against CCI. The Bank has begun the process of appealing the 
judgment. While the Bank believes that its liability from this litigation, if 
any, will be less than the amount awarded by the jury, there can be no 
assurance that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will result in an 
amount less than the amount determined by the jury and it is possible that 
the Bank and its subsidiary could ultimately be found liable for an amount in 
excess of the allowance that has been established. The provision for this 
allowance has been included in 1995 real estate operations. 

   The Bank is involved as a defendant in certain legal proceedings 
incidental to its business. The Bank has established an accrual for its 
estimate of the potential liability that it believes it may be found liable 
for. However, it is possible that the Bank's actual liability may be 
substantially higher or lower than the amount of the established allowance. 
The Bank does not believe that the litigation to which it is a party, if 
adversely decided, in the aggregate would have a material adverse effect upon 
the Bank's financial condition. However, adverse decisions in such matters 
could have a material adverse effect upon the Bank's results of operations 
for the relevant period or periods in which they occur.

   During the 1995 fourth quarter, California Federal obtained regulatory and 
shareholder approval to reorganize into a holding company structure, which 
will provide greater flexibility for meeting future financial and competitive 
needs. As a result of the reorganization, on January 1, 1996, each share of 
the California Federal's common stock was converted into one share of Cal Fed 
Bancorp Inc. common stock. Consequently, California Federal became a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. 

 Preferred Stock of Subsidiary 

   In March 1993, California Federal issued 3,740,000 shares of 7 3/4% 
noncumulative convertible preferred stock at its liquidation preference of 
$25.00 per share (the "Preferred Stock, Series A"). The issuance of the 
Preferred Stock, Series A, resulted in an $89.0 million increase in the 
equity capital of California Federal, after deducting issue costs of $4.5 
million. Effective January 1, 1996, the Preferred Stock, Series A, is 
convertible by the holders into the common stock of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. at 
any time at a conversion price of $20.16 per share, subject to adjustment. 
The Preferred Stock, Series A, is not redeemable prior to March 31, 1996. At 
or after March 31, 1996, the Preferred Stock, Series A, is redeemable at the 
option of California Federal, in whole or in part, at par value plus declared 
but unpaid dividends. 

   In March 1994, California Federal issued 1,725,000 shares of 10 5/8% 
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock at its liquidation preference of 
$100.00 per share (the "Preferred Stock, Series B"). The issuance of the 
Preferred Stock, Series B resulted in an $164.2 million increase in the 
equity capital of California Federal, after deducting issue costs of $8.3 
million. The Preferred Stock, Series B, is generally not redeemable prior to 
April 1, 1999. The Preferred Stock, Series B, is redeemable at the option of 
California Federal, in whole or in part, at $105.313 per share on or after 
April 1, 1999 and prior to April 1, 2000, and at prices decreasing annually 
thereafter to the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share on or after 
April 1, 2003, plus declared but unpaid dividends. In addition, the Preferred 
Stock, Series B, is redeemable at the option of California Federal or its 
successor or any acquiring or resulting entity with respect to California 
Federal on or after April 1, 1996 and prior to April 1, 1999 in whole, but 
not in part, in the event of a change of control of California Federal at 
$114.50 per share. The preferred stock of subsidiary is accounted for as a 
minority interest in the accompanying financial statements. Dividends on 
preferred stock of subsidiary are accounted for as expense in the audited 
financial statements. 

 Common Stock Warrants 

   In December 1992, California Federal issued 13,879,865 warrants to 
purchase California Federal common stock during June 1994. Throughout June 
1994, warrant holders were entitled to purchase one share of the common stock 
of California Federal for $9.00 and five warrants. Approximately 93% of the 
warrants were exercised. Warrants not exercised by June 30, 1994 became 
worthless and no longer entitled the holders to purchase any shares of the 
common stock of California Federal. The exercised warrants provided 
California Federal with $23.3 million of additional equity capital during 
1994.

  Participation Interests 

   During 1995, California Federal registered contingent litigation recovery 
participation interests ("Participation Interests") to be issued to its 
common shareholders. The Participation Interests represent a right to receive 
an amount equal to up to 25.377745% of the cash payment, if any, actually 
received by California Federal, resulting from the pending goodwill lawsuit 
of California Federal against the federal government. In the lawsuit, 
California Federal Bank, alleges that the United States breached certain 
contractual commitments regarding the computation of its regulatory capital 
and deprived California Federal of certain of its property without just 
compensation in violation of the United States constitution. The claims of 
California Federal arose from changes, mandated by FIRREA, with respect to 
the rules for computing the regulatory capital of California Federal. The 
Bank's stockholders of record on July 14, 1995, received one Participation 
Interest for every ten shares of common stock owned on the record date. The 
Participation Interests were distributed on July 28, 1995 and began trading 
on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market under the symbol "CALGZ" on August 1, 1995. 

 Regulatory Capital 

   As a savings institution which is regulated by the OTS, California Federal 
is required to comply with the capital requirements of the OTS. The 
regulations of the OTS require savings institutions to maintain certain 
minimum levels of regulatory capital. An institution that fails to comply 
with its regulatory capital requirements must obtain OTS approval of a 
capital plan and can be subject to a capital directive and certain 
restrictions on its operations. An institution that fails to obtain OTS 
approval of its capital plan is deemed to be in an unsafe and unsound 
condition and could be the subject of the appointment of a conservator or a 
receiver. At December 31, 1995, the industry-wide minimum regulatory capital 
requirements were: 

     o  Tangible capital of 1.5% of adjusted total assets, consisting 
        generally of stockholders' equity, but excluding most intangible 
        assets such as goodwill. 

     o  A leverage ratio requiring core capital of 3.0% of adjusted total 
        assets, consisting of tangible capital plus supervisory goodwill 
        (certain goodwill arising as a result of the acquisition of troubled 
        institutions and regulatory assisted acquisitions). 

     o  Total risk-based capital consisting of core capital plus certain 
        subordinated debt and other capital instruments and general valuation 
        allowances on loans receivable equal to 8.0% of the value of 
        risk-weighted assets plus off-balance sheet items. 

   The table below presents the capital ratios of California Federal as 
compared to the industry-wide minimum capital requirements at December 31, 
1995:

   The OTS has implemented a system requiring regulatory sanctions against 
institutions that are not adequately capitalized, with the sanctions growing 
more severe the lower the institution's capital. The OTS has established 
specific capital ratios for five separate capital categories: "well 
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly 
undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized."

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 23: STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, PREFERRED STOCK OF SUBSIDIARY AND REGULATORY 
CAPITAL  (Continued) 
    Under the OTS regulations, an institution is treated as well capitalized 
if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 10.0% or more, its 
ratio of core capital to risk-weighted assets is 6.0% or more, its ratio of 
core capital to total assets is 5.0% or greater and it is not subject to any 
order or directive by the OTS to meet a specific capital level. 

   At December 31, 1995, (i) the total risk-based capital ratio of California 
Federal was 12.36 percent, $183.3 million in excess of "well-capitalized" 
requirements, (ii) the Tier I risk-based capital ratio of California Federal 
was 10.90 percent, $380.1 million in excess of "well-capitalized" 
requirements, and (iii) the leverage ratio of California Federal was 5.91 
percent, $130.2 million in excess of "well-capitalized" requirements. 
Therefore, at December 31, 1995, California Federal met and exceeded all of 
the requirements of a well capitalized institution. 

   An institution is undercapitalized if its ratio of total capital to 
risk-weighted assets is less than 8.0%, its ratio of core capital to 
risk-weighted assets is less than 4.0% or its ratio of core capital to total 
assets is less than 4.0% (3.0% if the institution receives the highest rating 
on the CAMEL examination rating system). An institution whose capital falls 
between the well capitalized and undercapitalized levels is treated as 
adequately capitalized. An institution is treated as significantly 
undercapitalized if the above capital ratios are less than 6.0%, 3.0%, or 
3.0% respectively. An institution is treated as critically undercapitalized 
if its ratio of tangible equity (core capital, plus cumulative preferred 
stock, minus intangible assets other than qualifying supervisory goodwill and 
certain purchased mortgage servicing rights) to total assets is equal to or 
less than 2.0%. The OTS can apply to an institution in a particular capital 
category the sanctions that apply to the next lower capital category if the 
OTS determines, after providing the institution notice and opportunity for a 
hearing, that (1) the institution is in an unsafe and unsound condition, or 
(2) the institution received, in its most recent report of examination, a 
less-than-satisfactory rating for asset quality, management, earnings, or 
liquidity, and the deficiency has not been corrected. The OTS cannot, 
however, use this authority to require an adequately capitalized institution 
to file a capital restoration plan, or to subject a significantly 
undercapitalized institution to the sanctions applicable to critically 
undercapitalized institutions.

</TABLE>

   At December 31, 1995, California Federal had $16.7 million included in the 
regulatory capital relating to such investments and extensions of credit. 

 Restriction on Shareholder's Equity and Dividends 

   The payment of dividends, stock repurchases, and other capital 
distributions by California Federal are subject to regulation by the OTS. The 
OTS requires 30 days' prior notice of any capital distribution. On December 
5, 1994, the OTS proposed various amendments to its rules on capital 
distributions to conform them to the prompt corrective action system 
established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 
1991. Under the proposed regulation, those institutions that have the CAMEL 
ratings of 1 or 2 and are not controlled by a holding company would no longer 
be required to notify OTS before capital distributions. Most other savings 
institutions could make capital distributions upon giving notice to OTS 
provided that, following the distribution, the institution would remain at 
least adequately capitalized as defined by the prompt corrective action 
system. The proposed amendments are pending. 

   Pursuant to statutes, savings institutions that do not meet their current 
capital requirements generally may not make any capital distributions. 

 Tax Bad Debt Reserves 

   For federal income tax purposes, savings institutions meeting certain 
definitional and other tests are allowed special bad debt reserve deductions. 
If amounts appropriated to these tax bad debt reserves in excess of an 
allowable offset computed under the experience method ("excess tax bad debt 
reserves") are used for the payment of nontaxable dividends or other 
distributions to stockholders (including distributions in dissolution, 
liquidation or redemption of stock), an amount will generally be includable 
in taxable income. The amount includable in taxable income is equal to the 
distribution plus the federal income tax attributable thereto, up to the 
aggregate amount of excess tax bad debt reserves. At December 31, 1995, the 
Bank's total tax bad debt reserves of approximately $76 million did not 
include any amount which may represent excess tax bad debt reserves. 

NOTE 24: EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS 

 Retirement Plans 

   The Bank has two defined benefit plans: one covering its employees 
("retirement income plan") and one for the non-employee directors ("outside 
directors plan"). Prior to 1995, the bank had two outside directors plans. 
During 1995, one of the outside directors plans was terminated and 
subsequently liquidated. Effective May 31, 1993, the retirement income plan 
was frozen and all accrued benefits were automatically 100% vested. The plan 
froze all accrued benefits, however; credited service will continue to accrue 
for purposes of determining eligibility for early retirement (and the 
applicable early retirement reduction factors).

NOTE 24: EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS  (Continued) 
    The Bank's funding policy for the retirement income plan is to contribute 
an amount equal to the minimum required contribution under the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Bank from time to time may 
increase its contribution beyond the minimum reflecting the tax and cash 
position of the Bank and the funded status of the plan. The outside directors 
plan is unfunded. Additionally, the Bank had a supplemental defined benefit 
retirement plan for key employees (the "supplemental plan") which was 
terminated on December 31, 1993. The Bank has recorded a liability of $0.1 
million as of December 31, 1995 related to the supplemental plan.

   The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, 
Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions ("SFAS 
106"). SFAS 106 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 
15, 1992. SFAS 106 establishes accounting standards for all employers' 
postretirement benefits other than pensions; however, it focuses on 
postretirement health care benefits. SFAS 106 changes the current practice of 
accounting for postretirement benefits on a cash basis by accruing the cost 
of these benefits during the years the employee renders the necessary 
service. The Bank has a defined benefit postretirement plan which provides 
for postretirement medical benefits to eligible retired employees.

  Investment Plus Plan 

   The Investment Plus Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan that 
is available to substantially all employees. The Plan is a qualified plan 
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employee contributions are 
voluntary, as employees may elect to defer from one to ten percent of 
compensation, exclusive of overtime, bonuses or other special payments 
("qualifying compensation"). Participants vest immediately in their own 
contributions and they vest in the Bank's contributions based on years of 
service. Up to 4% of participants' contributions are matched by the Bank on a 
schedule that is determined by the participants' years of service with the 
Bank. The table below presents the Bank's matching contributions as 
determined by the participants' years of service.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 

(1) PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION 

   In the opinion of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries (the 
"Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, 
prepared from the Company's books and records, contain all adjustments 
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair 
presentation of the Company's financial condition as of September 30, 1996 
and December 31, 1995, and the results of operations and statements of cash 
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. 

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do 
not include all information and footnotes necessary to present the financial 
position, results of operations and statements of cash flows in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles. 

   Included in the preparation of such statements are certain material 
estimates related to determining the allowances for potential losses on 
loans, real estate and the impairment of other assets. Additionally, the 
Company has made certain estimates relating to various legal proceedings in 
which the Company has been named as a defendant and has established 
allowances in accordance with its estimates. In the event that actual losses 
materially exceed the allowances established, the Company may realize a 
material adverse impact on its financial condition and results of operations. 

   During the 1995 fourth quarter, California Federal Bank, F.S.B. (the 
"Bank") obtained regulatory and shareholder approval to reorganize into a 
holding company structure to provide greater flexibility for meeting future 
financial and competitive needs. As a result of the reorganization, on 
January 1, 1996, each share of the Bank's common stock was converted into one 
share of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. common stock and the Bank became a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. In order to present comparative financial 
statements and other financial information, the Company's financial 
statements and other financial information reported herein for periods prior 
to the reorganization into a holding company structure are presented on an 
"as if" pooling-of-interests basis. 

   In March 1993, the Bank issued 3,740,000 shares of 7 3/4% noncumulative 
convertible preferred stock at a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share 
(the "Preferred Stock, Series A"). Effective January 1, 1996, the Preferred 
Stock, Series A, was convertible by the holders into the common stock of Cal 
Fed Bancorp Inc. at any time at a conversion price of $20.16 per share, 
subject to adjustment. 

   During the second quarter of 1996, the Bank called for redemption all 
3,740,000 shares of the Preferred Stock, Series A. Except for the conversion 
of 18,820 shares into 23,336 shares of the Company's common stock, the Series 
A shares were redeemed effective June 14, 1996 at a redemption price of 
$25.00 per share, plus a dividend of $0.398264 per share. 

   In March 1994, the Bank issued 1,725,000 shares of 10.625% noncumulative 
perpetual preferred stock at its liquidation preference of $100.00 per share 
(the "Preferred Stock, Series B"). The issuance of the Preferred Stock, 
Series B is generally not redeemable prior to April 1, 1999. The Preferred 
Stock, Series B, is redeemable at the option of the Bank, in whole or in 
part, at $105.313 per share on or after April 1, 1999 and prior to April 1, 
2000, and at prices decreasing annually thereafter to the liquidation 
preference of $100.00 per share on or after April 1, 2003, plus declared but 
unpaid dividends. In addition, the Preferred Stock, Series B, is redeemable 
at the option of the Bank or its successor or any acquiring or resulting 
entity with respect to the Bank on or after April 1, 1996 and prior to April 
1, 1999 in whole, but not in part, in the event of a change of control of the 
Bank at $114.50 per share. 

   The Preferred Stock, Series A and Series B are presented on the Company's 
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as "Preferred stock of 
subsidiary." 

   The following material under the heading "Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" is written with 
the presumption that the users of the interim
