Item 1.  Change in Control of Registrant

     On February 10, 1998,  National  Australia  Bank Limited  ("NAB")  acquired
43,472,568  shares  of  common  stock  (the  "Shares")  of  HomeSide,   Inc.  As
consideration  for the  Shares,  NAB  paid  $27.825  per  share  or a  total  of
approximately  $1.2  billion.  NAB paid for the purchase with  available  funds.
Following the transaction  described above ("the Merger"),  NAB now owns 100% of

(a)  Reflects HomeSide's historical unaudited  consolidated income statement for
     the period March 16, 1996 to February 28,1997.

(b)  Reflects pro forma adjustments related to the Merger as if such acquisition
     occurred at the beginning of the period  presented.  The adjustments  apply
     the purchase  accounting  adjustment required to reflect the effects of the
     Merger.  The values of assets and liabilities have been adjusted to reflect
     the allocation of the purchase  price.  The purchase price in excess of the
     fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.

(c)  Notes  payable,  debt issuance costs and long-term debt have been marked to
     market  as part of the  allocation  of the  purchase  price to the value of
     assets and liabilities.  As a result, interest expense has been adjusted by
     $7.6  million.   This  adjustment  does  not  reflect   applicable   margin
     improvements of 2.5 basis points for the warehouse  credit facility and 7.5
     basis  points for the  servicing  credit  facility  as a result of expected
     improved credit ratings due to the Merger.

(d)  Changes in the  depreciation  expense  included in occupancy  and equipment
     expenses  have been adjusted to reflect the adjusted fair value of premises
     and equipment as of the closing date of the Merger.

(e)  Other expenses  have been  adjusted  to reflect  amortization  of  goodwill
     arising from the Merger.

(f)  Adjusts the income tax expense to HomeSide's  expected  effective  tax rate
