of an initial public offering of 20,000,000 shares of the Company's 9.125%
Noncumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred
Shares"), $0.01 par value, which raised $500,000,000. The Series A Preferred
Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Expenses incurred relative to
the offering and the formation of the Company were borne by the Bank.
Concurrent with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Bank
contributed additional capital of $500,000,000 to the Company.

The Company used the proceeds raised from the initial public offering of the
Series A Preferred Shares and the additional capital contributed by the Bank to
purchase from the Bank the Company's initial portfolio of residential mortgage
loans at their estimated fair value of $996,489,000. The residential mortgage
loans were recorded in the accompanying financial statements at the Bank's
historical cost basis which approximates their estimated fair values. The
Company has entered into a servicing agreement with the Bank's wholly-owned
mortgage banking subsidiary, First Nationwide Mortgage Corporation ("FNMC") to
service the Company's mortgage assets.

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions for meeting the requirements of Regulation S-X, Article
10 and therefore do not include all disclosures necessary for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been
made that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. All
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations
for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
fiscal year or any other interim period.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the statement of
financial condition and accompanying note thereto as of December 31, 1996
included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-11. All terms used
but not defined elsewhere herein have meanings ascribed to them in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-11.

As the Company's common stock is wholly owned by the Bank, earnings per share
data is not presented.

A statement of financial condition at December 31, 1996 is not presented as
operations did not commence until January 31, 1997.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)      Residential Mortgage Loans:

         Residential mortgage loans are carried at the principal amount
         outstanding, net of unamortized deferred loan fees and direct
         origination costs and purchase discounts and premiums. Deferred loan
         fees and direct origination costs and discounts or premiums on
         one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans are accreted or
         amortized to income using the interest method over the contractual
         term of the loans. Unaccreted or unamortized discounts or premiums on
         loans sold or paid in full are recognized in income at the time of
         sale or payoff. It is the Company's policy to place a loan on
         non-accrual status in the event that a borrower is 90 days or more
         delinquent. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued
         and unpaid interest receivable is reversed. Amortization of premiums,
         discounts and deferred fees net of deferred direct origination costs
         associated with loans that are on non-accrual status are discontinued.
         Income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash
         payments are received. When, in management's judgment, the borrower's
         ability to make periodic interest and principal payments resumes, the
         loan is returned to accrual status.

         Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting
         by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS No. 114"), as amended by
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by
         Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
         Disclosures" ( "SFAS No. 118"), 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. 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. SFAS
         No. 114 does not apply to large groups of smaller balance homogeneous
         loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. The Company
         collectively reviews its portfolio of residential mortgage loans for
         impairment.

         Residential mortgage loans consist primarily of adjustable rate
         mortgages which adjust periodically based on changes in various
         indices including the FHLB Eleventh District Cost of Funds, the
         one-year Treasury rate and the six-month Treasury rate. Certain types
         of residential mortgage loans contain an option for the mortgagor to
         convert the ARM to a fixed rate loan for the remainder of the term.

                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(b)      Allowance for Loan Losses:

         The allowance for loan losses is a general allowance which is
         increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of
         recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the
         allowance is based on such factors as the Bank's and the Company's
         past loan loss experience, delinquency trends, known and inherent
         risks in the portfolio, potential adverse situations that may affect
         the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of underlying
         collateral, and current and prospective economic conditions.

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

(c)      Cash and Cash Equivalents:

         For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
         include cash and amounts due from banks, and other short-term
         investments with original maturities of three months or less.

(d)      Income Taxes:

         The Company will elect to be treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust
         ("REIT") for Federal income tax purposes and intends to comply with
         the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "IRC"), as
         amended. Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to Federal
         income tax to the extent it distributes its income to shareholders and
         as long as certain asset, income and stock ownership tests are met in
         accordance with the IRC. As the Company expects to qualify as a REIT
         for Federal income tax purposes, no provision for income taxes is
         included in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 3 - RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS, NET

NOTE 4 - DIVIDENDS

Holders of Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, if, when and as
authorized and declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of funds
legally available, noncumulative dividends at a rate of 9.125% per annum of the
initial liquidation preference ($25.00 per share). Dividends on the Series A
Preferred Shares, if authorized and declared, are payable quarterly in arrears
on the last day of March, June, September and December. Dividends paid during
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to the holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares totaled approximately $30,543,000.

Dividends on common stock are paid when, as and if authorized and declared by
the Board of Directors out of funds legally available after all preferred
dividends have been paid. There were no common dividends paid during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company entered into a servicing agreement with FNMC pursuant to which FNMC
performs the actual servicing of the residential mortgage loans held by the
Company in accordance with normal industry practice. The servicing agreement
can be terminated without cause with at least 30 days written notice to FNMC
and payment to FNMC of a termination fee equal to 2% of the outstanding
principal balances of the loans. The servicing fee ranges from 0.25% to 0.50%
per year of the outstanding principal balances. Servicing fee expense paid
totaled $2,410,000 and $918,000 for the nine and three months ended September
30, 1997, respectively. FNMC is also entitled to a 1% disposition fee on the
aggregate proceeds obtained in the sale of a defaulted residential mortgage
loan. No disposition fees were earned during the nine months and three months
ended September 30, 1997.

In its capacity as servicer, FNMC holds in custodial accounts at the Bank
mortgage loan payments received on behalf of the Company. The balance of such
accounts totaled approximately $23,897,000 at September 30, 1997 and was
recorded as due from affiliates. Substantially all of such payments were passed
through to the Company in October as provided in the servicing agreement. At
September 30, 1997, trust funds of approximately $2,489,000, representing
escrows received from borrowers, are on deposit in a trust account at the Bank
and are not included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.

As of September 30, 1997 the Company owed the Bank approximately $77,000 in
connection with the settlement of loans purchased from the Bank and expenses
incurred by the Company to be reimbursed to the Bank. This amount was paid to
the Bank during October 1997.

NOTE 6 - NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On June 28, 1996, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 125"). SFAS No. 125 provides
accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on consistent application of a
financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under that approach,
after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and
servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes
financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes
liabilities when extinguished. This statement provides consistent standards for
distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that
are secured borrowings.

In December 1996, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB
Statement No. 125" ("SFAS No. 127"). SFAS No. 127 defers for one year the
effective date (i) of paragraph 15 of SFAS No. 125 and (ii) of paragraphs 9-12
and 237(b) of SFAS No. 125 for repurchase agreement, dollar-roll, securities
lending and similar transactions. SFAS No. 127 provides additional guidance on
the types of transactions for which the effective date of SFAS No. 125 has been
deferred. It also requires that if it is not possible to determine whether a
transaction occurring during calendar-year 1997 is part of a repurchase
agreement, dollar-roll, securities lending or similar transaction, then
paragraphs 9-12 of SFAS No. 125 should be applied to that transfer. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 125, as amended by SFAS No. 127, on January 1, 1997. Such
adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" ("SFAS No. 129").
SFAS No. 129 establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's
capital structure and applies to all entities. This statement continues the
previous requirements to disclose certain information about an entity's capital
structure found in APB Opinions No. 10, Omnibus Opinion - 1966, and No. 15,
Earnings per Share, and FASB Statement No. 47, Disclosure of Long-Term
Obligations, for entities that were subject to the requirements of those
standards. This statement supersedes specific disclosure requirements of
Opinions 10 and 15 and Statement 47 and consolidates them in this statement for
ease of retrieval and for greater visibility to non-public entities. This
statement is effective for financial statements for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. It is not expected that the Company will experience any
material revision in its disclosures when SFAS No. 129 is adopted.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"). SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
with the same prominence as other financial statements.

                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

It does not require a specific format for that financial statement but requires
that an enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income
for the period in that financial statement. This statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Reclassification of financial
statements for earlier periods provided for comprehensive purposes is required.
This statement has no impact on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company, but will require changes in the Company's disclosure
requirements.

OVERVIEW

California Federal Preferred Capital Corporation's principal business objective
is to acquire, hold and manage residential mortgage loans that will generate
net income for distribution to stockholders. The Company currently intends to
invest in residential mortgage loans only. The Company's current policy
prohibits the acquisition of any mortgage loan which is delinquent at the time
of the proposed acquisition or which meets certain criteria for non-performance
during the preceding 12 months. The Company currently expects that
substantially all of the residential mortgage loans to be acquired will be
adjustable rate loans; however, the Company may from time to time acquire fixed
interest rate residential mortgage loans. The Company anticipates it will
continue to acquire all of its residential mortgage loans from the Bank or
affiliates of the Bank as whole loans secured by first mortgages or deeds of
trust on single-family (one-to-four-unit) residential real estate properties,
although mortgage loans may be acquired from unaffiliated third parties. The
Company may from time to time acquire fixed rate or variable rate
mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by agencies of the federal
government or government sponsored agencies. The mortgage loans underlying the
mortgage-backed securities will be secured by single-family residential,
multifamily or commercial real estate properties located throughout the United
States.

On January 31, 1997, the Company commenced its operations upon the initial
public offering of 20,000,000 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred
Shares, which raised $500,000,000. The Series A Preferred Shares are traded on
the New York Stock Exchange. Concurrent with the sale of the Series A Preferred
Shares, the Bank contributed additional capital of $500,000,000 to the Company.
All common shares are held by the Bank.

The Bank and its affiliates are involved in virtually every aspect of the
Company's existence. FNMC services the Company's residential mortgage loans in
its role as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

The Bank and its affiliates may have interests which are not identical to those
of the Company. Consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to
transactions, including without limitation, (i) future acquisitions of
residential mortgage loans from, or sales of residential mortgage loans to, the
Bank, FNMC or their affiliates and (ii) the modification of the Servicing
Agreement.

It is the intention of the Company and the Bank that any agreements and
transactions between the Company on the one hand and the Bank or one of its
affiliates on the other hand are fair to all parties and consistent with market
terms for such types of transactions. The requirement in the Company's charter
that certain actions of the Company be approved by a majority of the
independent directors is also intended to promote fair dealings between the
Company and the Bank and its affiliates. However, there can be no assurance
that such agreements or transactions will be on terms as favorable to the
Company as would have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997

The Company reported net interest income of approximately $47,246,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 which was comprised of approximately
$46,459,000 ($48,869,000 gross interest income less $2,410,000 servicing fee
expense) from residential mortgage loans and $787,000 from short-term
investments, representing an average yield after servicing fees on residential
mortgage loans of 7.22% and on earning assets of 7.16%, based on average
outstanding asset balances of approximately $858,434,000 and $880,238,000,
respectively. The computation of the average yields on residential mortgage
loans and on earning assets is based on average outstanding asset balances that

to the Company included in due from affiliates on the statement of financial
condition. Net interest income after a $1,680,000 provision for loan losses was
approximately $45,566,000. After deduction of approximately $34,000 in director
fees, $37,000 in professional fees and $32,000 in other expenses, the Company
reported net income of approximately $ 45,463,000.

expense) from residential mortgage loans and $373,000 from short-term
investments, representing an average yield after servicing fees on residential
mortgage loans of 7.55% and on earning assets of 7.49%, based on average
outstanding asset balances of approximately $987,171,000 and $1,015,306,000,
respectively. The computation of the average yields on residential mortgage
loans and on earning assets is based on average outstanding asset balances that
include the amount of principal payments collected by FNMC but not yet remitted
to the Company included in due from affiliates on the statement of financial
condition. Net interest income after a $630,000 provision for loan losses was
approximately $18,375,000. After deduction of approximately $14,000 in
professional fees and $12,000 in other expenses, the Company reported net
income of approximately $18,349,000.

During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company declared and paid
dividends of approximately $11,406,000 on the outstanding Series A Preferred
Shares. Net income available to the common stockholder for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 totaled $6,943,000.

RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS

The Company used the proceeds from its offering of Series A Preferred Shares,
coupled with a capital contribution from the Bank, to purchase the Company's
initial portfolio of residential mortgage loans with estimated fair values
totaling approximately $996,489,000. The Company used principal collections to
purchase additional residential mortgage loans totaling approximately
$120,623,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. As of September
30, 1997, the Company had $964,519,000 invested in net residential mortgage
loans, representing a 3.2% decline in the initial amount invested principally
due to principal collections. Management intends to continue to reinvest
principal collections in additional residential mortgage loans to be purchased
from either the Bank or its affiliates on a periodic basis.

At September 30, 1997, nonaccruing residential mortgage loans totaled
$2,058,000, or .21% of the total portfolio.

The following table reflects residential mortgage loans with past due principal

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb potential loan losses from
the entire residential mortgage loan portfolio. The Company deems its allowance
for loan losses as of September 30, 1997 to be adequate. Although the Company
considers that it has sufficient allowances to absorb losses that currently may
exist in the portfolio, but are not yet identifiable, the precise loss content
is subject to continuing review based on quality indicators, industry and
geographic concentrations, changes in business conditions, and other external
factors such as competition, legal and regulatory requirements. The Company
will continue to reassess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

The following table reflects the activity in the Company's allowance for loan
losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997:

     Balance - September 30, 1997                                $ 6,680
                                                                 =======

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

The Company's allowance coverage ratio (allowance for loan losses to loans at
period-end) at September 30, 1997 was .69%, while the Company's ratio of
allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at September 30, 1997 was
325%.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company's income consists primarily of interest payments on residential
mortgage loans. The Company anticipates that most of its residential mortgage
loans will bear interest at adjustable rates. If there is a decline in interest
rates (as measured by the indices upon which the interest rates of the
residential mortgage loans are based), then the Company will experience a
decrease in income available to be distributed to its stockholders. In such an
interest rate environment the Company may experience an increase in prepayments
on its residential mortgage loans and may find it more difficult to purchase
additional residential mortgage loans bearing rates sufficient to support
payment of the dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares. In addition, certain
residential mortgage loan products which the Company holds will allow borrowers
in such an interest rate environment to convert an adjustable rate mortgage to
a fixed rate mortgage, thus "locking in" a lower fixed interest rate. Because
the dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Shares is fixed, there can be no
assurance that an interest rate environment in which there is a significant
decline in interest rates would not adversely affect the Company's ability to
pay such dividends.

In addition, approximately 46% of the residential mortgage loans held by the
Company at September 30, 1997 have the potential to negatively amortize, while
approximately 11% of such loans have negatively amortized such that the current
principal balance of the loan exceeds the original principal balance. The
current principal balance exceeded the original principal balance by
approximately $1.9 million as of September 30, 1997. If there is an increase in
interest rates on such residential mortgage loans (as measured by the indices
upon which the interest rates of the residential mortgage loans are based), the
Company may experience a decrease in cash available to be distributed to its
common stockholder where such increase in the interest rate does not coincide
with a corresponding adjustment of the borrowers' monthly payments.

SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Certain geographic regions of the United States from time to time may
experience natural disasters or weaker regional economic conditions and housing
markets and, consequently, may experience higher rates of loss and delinquency
on residential mortgage loans generally. Any concentration of the residential
mortgage loans in such a region may present risks in addition to those
generally present with respect to residential mortgage loans.

The Company's exposure to geographic concentrations directly affects the credit
risk of the residential mortgage loans within the portfolio. The following
table shows the residential mortgage loan portfolio by geographical area as of
September 30, 1997:

California                                            $842,527           86.8%

                                                      $971,199          100.0%
                                                      ========          ======
                                                   
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 86.8% of the Company's total residential mortgage loan portfolio comprised
of loans secured by residential real estate properties located in California
may be subject to a greater risk of default than other comparable residential
mortgage loans in the event of natural hazards or other adverse conditions in
California that may affect the ability of residential property owners in
California to make payments of principal and interest on underlying mortgages.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT:

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of
sufficient cash flows to meet all of the Company's financial commitments and to
capitalize on opportunities for the Company's business expansion. In managing
liquidity, the Company takes into account various legal limitations placed on a
REIT. See " -- Other Matters."

The Company's principal liquidity needs are to maintain the current portfolio
size through the acquisition of additional residential mortgage loans and to
pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares. The acquisition of additional
residential mortgage loans is funded with the proceeds obtained from repayment
of principal balances by individual mortgagees. The payment of dividends on the
Series A Preferred Shares will be made from legally available funds,
principally arising from the operating activities of the Company. The Company's
cash flows from operating activities principally consist of the collection of
interest on the residential mortgage loans. The Company does not have and does
not anticipate having any material capital expenditures.



                                       17

<PAGE>



In order to remain qualified as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at
least 95% of its adjusted REIT taxable income, as provided for under the
Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), to its common and preferred stockholders. The
Company currently expects to distribute dividends annually equal to
approximately 100% of the its adjusted REIT taxable income.

The Company anticipates that cash and cash equivalents on hand and the cash
flow from the residential mortgage loans will provide adequate liquidity for
its operating, investing and financing needs.

As presented in the accompanying statement of cash flows, the primary sources
of funds during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $500,000,000 from
the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, and $500,000,000 additional
capital contributed by the Bank. Additional significant sources of funds were
$48,142,000 provided by operating activities and $126,976,000 provided by
mortgage loan principal repayments. The primary uses of funds were
$1,117,112,000 and $6,569,000 in purchases of mortgage loans and accrued
interest receivable, respectively, and $30,543,000 in preferred stock dividends
paid.

OTHER MATTERS:

As of September 30, 1997, the Company believes that it was in full compliance
with the REIT tax rules and that it will continue to qualify as a REIT under
the provisions of the IRC. The Company calculates:

a.       its Qualified REIT Assets, as defined in the Code, to be 98% of its
         total assets, as compared to the Federal tax requirements that at
         least 75% of its total assets must be Qualified REIT assets;

b.       that 98% of its revenue qualifies for the 75% source of income test
         and 100% of its revenue qualifies for the 95% source of income test
         under the REIT rules; and

c.       none of the revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 1997
         was subject to the 30% income limitation under the REIT rules.

The Company also met all REIT requirements regarding the ownership of its stock
and anticipates meeting the annual distribution requirements.
