Item 5.     Other Events.

            This Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") to the Registrant's
Current Report on Form 8-K, dated as of February 4, 1998 and filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 1998 (the
"February 17 8-K"), amends the February 17 8-K through the inclusion
herein of revised analyst presentation materials, which are attached as
Exhibit 99.4 to this Amendment No. 1 and are hereby incorporated by
reference herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings set forth in the February 17 8-K.

            This Amendment No. 1 and the exhibits hereto contain forward looking
statements with respect to management beliefs, estimates, projections,
assumptions and the financial condition, results of operations and business of
Parent Holdings and the Registrant (and their respective subsidiaries) and,
assuming the consummation of the Mergers, a combined Golden State Bancorp
Inc./First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc., including statements relating to
the cost savings and accretion to reported and cash earnings that will be
realized from the Mergers, the impact on revenues of the Mergers, and the
restructuring charges expected to be incurred in connection with the Mergers.
These forward looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties,
including the risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the
Rigistrant's and Parent Holding's filings under the federal securities laws and
and those of their subsidiaries. Factors that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements include,
among others, the following possibilities: (1) expected cost savings from the
Mergers cannot be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (2)
revenues following the Mergers are lower than expected; (3) competitive pressure
among depository institutions increases significantly; (4) costs or difficulties
related to the integration of the businesses of the Registrant and Parent
Holdings are greater than expected; (5) changes in the interest rate environment
reduce interest margins or accelerate mortgage refinancings; (6) general
economic conditions, either nationally or in the states in which the combined
company will be doing business, are less favorable than expected; (7)
legislation or regulatory changes adversely affect the businesses in which the
combined company would be engaged; or (8) the respective goodwill lawsuits of
Glendale Federal and California Federal are not finally resolved in the time
frames expected by the parties, or a final resolution of either or both of such
lawsuits does not result in a net recovery or results in a net recovery that is
less than that anticipated by the parties.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT

This presentation contains forward looking statements with respect to management
beliefs, estimates, projections, assumptions, the financial condition, results
of operations and business of First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc. and Golden
State Bancorp Inc. (and their respective subsidiaries) and, assuming the
consummation of the merger, a combined Golden State Bancorp Inc./First
Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc. including statements relating to: (a) the cost
savings and accretion to reported and cash earnings that will be realized from
the merger; (b) the impact on revenues of the merger; and (c) the restructuring
charges expected to be incurred in connection with the merger. These forward
looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, including the risks
and uncertainties detailed from time to time in Glendale Federal's and
California Federal's OTS reports and filings. Factors that may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking
statements include, among others, the following possibilities: (1) expected cost
savings from the merger cannot be fully realized or realized within the expected
time frame; (2) revenues following the merger are lower than expected; (3)
competitive pressure among depository institutions increases significantly; (4)
costs or difficulties related to the integration of the businesses of Golden
State Bancorp Inc. and First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc. are greater than
expected; (5) changes in the interest rate environment reduce interest margins
or accelerate mortgage refinancings; (6) general economic conditions, either
nationally or in the states in which the combined company will be doing
business, are less favorable than expected; or (7) legislation or regulatory
changes adversely affect the businesses in which the combined company would be
engaged.

1. Certain forward looking statements and financial information contained in
this presentation differ from forward looking statements and financial
information disclosed in earlier presentations. The factors resulting in these
include: (a) changes in share prices for publicly traded securities since the
earlier presentation date or dates; (b) revised estimates of fully diluted
shares outstanding to reflect the adoption of SFAS 128; (c) the inclusion of
goodwill amortization estimated for GSB stand alone for the purposes of
calculating pro forma cash earnings and pro forma cash EPS; (d) the inclusion of
the estimated merger-related costs in the determination of purchase accounting
adjustments for the pro forma balance sheet; (e) revised estimates of fair value
adjustments in the determination of purchased accounting adjustments for the pro
forma balance sheet (see note 2 below); and (f) revised pro forma adjustments to
GSB's balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 reflecting the acquisitions of
CENFED and RedFed.

2. The pro forma financial information set forth in this presentation reflects
preliminary purchase accounting adjustments in compliance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Estimates, including those relating to the fair
value of certain assets, liabilities and other events requiring recognition,
have been made in connection with the presentation of such pro forma financial
information based on information available as of the date hereof. Such estimates
may vary as additional information becomes available in the future. Actual
adjustments will be made on the basis of actual assets, liabilities and other
items as of the closing date of the merger on the basis of appraisals and
evaluations and, therefore, estimated fair value amounts at such time will
differ from those reflected in the pro forma financial information set forth
herein.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE MERGER

- - -     Significantly accretive to cash earnings

- - -     Accretion predicated upon low risk in-market cost savings

- - -     Refinance of existing leverage provides for "built-in"
      earnings growth

SIGNIFICANTLY ACCRETIVE TO CASH EARNINGS

- - -     Transaction results in 17% and 28% accretion to Cash EPS in calendar
      1999 and 2000

- - -     Transaction is modestly dilutive to Reported EPS - 2% in 2000 (with
      full phase-in of cost savings)

- - -     Accretion to Cash EPS predicated upon low risk in-market cost savings
      of 46% of GSB's stand alone expense base

- - -     Accretion also assumes reduction in leverage expense of $17.9
      million in 1999 and $45.8 million in 2000

REGRESSION ANALYSIS

- - -     While applying Price/Tangible Book value multiples yields low implied
      valuation, banking franchise is meaningfully undervalued when taking into
      account cash return on equity

            [Graphic showing x-y graph, with x-axis corresponding to 4th quarter
            1997 cash return on equity and the y-axis corresponding to the ratio
            of market price to tangible book value, with data points for each of
            Golden State and H.F. Ahmanson & Company, Astoria Financial
            Corporation, Bay View Capital Corporation, Dime Bancorp, Inc.,
            Downey Financial Corp., Golden West Financial Corporation, Sovereign
            Bancorp, Inc., Washington Mutual, Inc. and Washington Federal, Inc.;
            a line representing a least-squares fit to such data points (other
            than Golden State) with an indicated R2 of 0.8107; and resulting
            implied valuations per share of Golden State of $37.01 and $40.40,
            respectively, based on Golden State's projected 1999 cash return on
            equity with expected merger cost savings 75% and 100% phased-in,
            respectively]

BANK LEVEL ANALYSIS

- - -     Applying peer group multiples to value bank level earnings
      "neutralizes" impact of leverage:

      --    $1,370 MM in net Holding Company debt can then be deducted from
            implied valuation to yield an implied value range for GSB

      --    Methodology does not ascribe any value to GSB's Holding Company
            debt
