NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of California Federal Preferred
Capital Corporation (the "Company") were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions for meeting the requirements of Regulation S-X,
Article 10 and therefore do not include all disclosures necessary for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments have been made that are necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position and results of operations and cash flows as of and
for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
entire fiscal year or any other interim period. Certain amounts for the
three month period in the prior year have been reclassified to conform with
the current period's presentation.
The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. All terms used but not defined
elsewhere herein have meanings ascribed to them in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
As the Company's common stock is wholly owned by California Federal Bank, A
Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), earnings per share data is not
presented.
(2) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows
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.
During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, noncash activity
included transfers of $561,000 and $425,000, respectively, from residential
mortgage loans to foreclosed real estate.
In accordance with the Servicing Agreement (as defined herein) certain
principal repayments are not remitted by First Nationwide Mortgage
Corporation ("FNMC"), in its capacity as servicer, to the Company until the
month following FNMC's receipt of such repayments from mortgagors. The
Company records mortgage loan principal repayments during the period such
repayments are received by FNMC. During the three months ended March 31,
1999, the Company received cash from FNMC which exceeded recorded principal
reductions for mortgage loan principal repayments by $6.3 million. During
the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded principal
reductions to residential mortgage loans which exceeded cash received from
FNMC for mortgage loan principal repayments by $15.5 million. An equal
offsetting decrease and increase to due from affiliates was also recorded
during the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
(3) Residential Mortgage Loans, Net
At March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, residential mortgage loans, net,
consisted of the following (in thousands):

CALIFORNIA FEDERAL PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Residential mortgage loans consist primarily of adjustable rate mortgages
("ARMs") 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.
(4) Dividends
Holders of Series A Preferred Shares (as defined herein) 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 each of the three month
periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 to the holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares totalled approximately $11.4 million.
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 stock dividends
paid during the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.
(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"). The Servicing Agreement can be terminated without cause with
at least 30 days prior 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 totalled
$910,000 and $912,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. FNMC is also entitled to a 1% disposition fee on the
aggregate proceeds obtained in the sale of a defaulted residential mortgage
loan. The Company recorded such disposition fees totalling approximately
$6,000 and $3,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
In its capacity as servicer, FNMC holds mortgage loan payments received on
behalf of the Company in a custodial account at the Bank. The balance of
this account totalled approximately $34.6 million and $41.4 million at
March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, and is included in due
from affiliates. Substantially all of such payments were passed through to
the Company in April 1999 and January 1999, respectively, as provided in
the Servicing Agreement. At March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, trust
funds of approximately $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively,
representing escrows received from borrowers, were on deposit in a trust
account at the Bank and are not included in the accompanying financial
statements.
As of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company owed the Bank
approximately $540,000 and $712,000, respectively, in connection with the
settlement of loans purchased from the Bank, advances related to foreclosed
real estate and expenses incurred by the Company to be reimbursed to the
Bank. These amounts were paid to the Bank during April 1999 and January
1999, respectively.
(6) Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities, and requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance
sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. Under SFAS No. 133, an
entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is required to establish at
the inception of the hedge the method it will use for assessing the
effectiveness of the hedging
8
<PAGE>
CALIFORNIA FEDERAL PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
derivative and the measurement approach for determining the ineffective
aspect of the hedge. SFAS No. 133 applies to all entities and amends SFAS
No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Values of Financial Instruments, to include
in Statement 107 the disclosure provisions about concentrations of credit
risk from Statement 105. SFAS No. 133 supersedes FASB Statements No. 80,
Accounting for Futures Contracts, No. 105, Disclosure of Information about
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments
with Concentrations of Credit Risk, and No. 119, Disclosure about
Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
SFAS No. 133 also nullifies or modifies the consensuses reached in a number
of issues addressed by the Emerging Issues Task Force. SFAS No. 133 is
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. Initial application of this statement should be as of the beginning
of an entity's fiscal quarter; on that date, hedging relationships must be
designated anew and documented pursuant to the provisions of this
statement. Earlier application of all of the provisions of SFAS No. 133 is
encouraged, but is permitted only as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter
that begins after issuance of this statement. SFAS No. 133 should not be
applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. The Company
owns no derivative instruments and was involved in no hedging activities at
December 31, 1998; accordingly, SFAS No. 133 is expected to have no impact
on the Company's financial statements.

OVERVIEW
The Company'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 1-4 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 9.125% Noncumulative
Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred Shares"), which
raised $500 million. The Series A Preferred Shares are traded on the New York
Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "CFP." Concurrent with the sale of the
Series A Preferred Shares, the Bank contributed additional capital of $500
million to the Company. All common shares are held by the Bank.
10
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 1999 versus three months ended March 31, 1998
Net Income. The Company reported net income for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 of $16.8 million compared with net income of $18.4 million for
the corresponding period in 1998. This decrease in 1999 compared with 1998 is
attributable to a decrease in net interest income, offset by a decrease in the
provision for loan losses.
During each of the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the
Company declared and paid dividends of $11.4 million on the outstanding Series A
Preferred Shares. Net income available to the common stockholder for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 totalled $5.4 million and $6.9 million,
respectively. There were no common stock dividends paid during the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.
Interest Income. The Company reported net interest income of $16.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of $1.9 million from the $18.8
million net interest income reported for the corresponding period in 1998. This
decrease in interest income is attributed to residential mortgage loans. The
decrease in residential mortgage loan interest income is attributed to a lower
average yield on the portfolio. The lower yield of 6.73% on residential mortgage
loans during the three month period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to 7.47%
for the same period in 1998 primarily reflects a decline in the weighted average
coupon of the portfolio due to a decline in market rates. The decrease in the
yield on residential mortgage loans also reflects higher amortization of net
purchase premiums and discounts during the 1999 period. The average outstanding
balance of residential mortgage loans during the three month period ended March
31, 1999 was $1.4 million higher than during the same period in 1998. Net
interest income during the three months ended March 31, 1999 is comprised of
$16.8 million ($17.7 million gross interest less $910,000 servicing fee expense)
from residential mortgage loans and $154,000 from short-term investments,
representing an average yield after servicing fees on residential mortgage loans
of 6.73% and on earning assets of 6.71%, based on average outstanding asset
balances of $994.8 million and $1,007.3 million, respectively. Net interest
income during the three months ended March 31, 1998 is comprised of $18.6
million ($19.5 million gross interest less $912,000 servicing fee expense) from
residential mortgage loans and $198,000 from short-term investments,
representing an average yield after servicing fees on residential mortgage loans
of 7.47% and on earning assets of 7.42%, based on average outstanding asset
balances of $996.2 million and $1,013.9 million, respectively.
The computation of the average yield on residential mortgage loans and on
earning assets is based on daily average outstanding asset balances that include
nonaccruing loans and the amount of principal payments collected by FNMC but not
yet remitted to the Company, which is included in due from affiliates on the
balance sheets.
Provision for loan losses. The Company established provisions for loan losses of
$420,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The Company recorded no
provisions for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The
decrease in the provision for loan losses from the 1998 period to the 1999
period is the result of management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses based on, among other things, the Bank's and the Company's past
loan loss experience, delinquency trends, known and inherent risks in the
residential mortgage loan portfolio, potential adverse situations that may
affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of the underlying
collateral, and current economic conditions.
RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS
The Company reinvests principal collections in additional residential mortgage
loans purchased from either the Bank or its affiliates on a periodic basis.
It is the Company's policy to place a loan on nonaccrual when a borrower is 90
days or more delinquent. There were no accruing loans contractually past due 90
days or more at March 31, 1999 or December 31, 1998.

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 March 31, 1999 to be adequate. Although the Company
believes that it has sufficient allowances to absorb losses which currently
exist in the portfolio, the precise loss 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 periodically 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 three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (in thousands):
1999 1998
---- ----
Balance - January 1 $ 8,413 $ 7,310
Provision for loan losses -- 420
Charge-offs (61) (561)
-------- --------
Balance - March 31 $ 8,352 $ 7,169
======== ========
The Company's allowance coverage ratio (allowance for loan losses to loans) at
March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was 0.87% and 0.88%, respectively, while
the Company's ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonaccruing loans at March
31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was 348% and 538%, respectively.
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.
Residential mortgage loans which have interest rates that adjust monthly based
upon the FHLB Eleventh District Cost of Funds limit payment changes to no more
than 7.5% of the payment amount per year. This may lead to monthly payments
which are less than the amount necessary to amortize the loan to maturity at the
interest rate in effect for any particular month. In the event that the monthly
payment is not sufficient to pay interest accruing on the loan during the month,
this deficiency is added to the loan's principal balance (i.e., negative
amortization). The total outstanding principal balance for a particular loan is
generally not allowed to exceed 125% of the original loan amount as a result of
negative amortization. Every five years and at any time the loan reaches its
maximum amount, the loan payment is recalculated to the payment sufficient to
repay the unpaid balance in full at the maturity date. Approximately 27% of the
residential mortgage loans held by the Company in December 31, 1998 have the
potential to negatively amortize, while approximately 5% of the residential
mortgage 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 $1.4 million as
of March 31, 1999. If there is an increase in interest rates on such residential
mortgage loans (as measured by the indices
12
<PAGE>
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 borrower's monthly payment.
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 March
31, 1999:
Book Value
(in thousands) Percent
-------------- -------
California $ 799,010 83.1%
Florida 38,676 4.0%
New York 23,363 2.4%
Other states (37 states and Washington, D.C.;
no state has more than 2%) 100,683 10.5%
---------- -----
$ 961,732 100.0%
========== =====
The 83.1% 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
Real Estate Investment Trust ("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.
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 to satisfy these REIT
requirements.
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 three months ended March 31, 1999 were $17.7 million provided
by operating activities and $102.6 million provided by mortgage loan principal
repayments. The primary uses of funds were $104.4 million in purchases of
mortgage loans and $11.4 million in preferred stock dividends paid.

OTHER MATTERS
As of March 31, 1999, 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 99% of its
total assets, as compared to the Federal tax requirements that at
least 75% of its total assets must be Qualified REIT assets; and
b. that 99% 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.
The Company also met all REIT requirements regarding the ownership of its stock
and anticipates meeting the annual distribution requirements.
YEAR 2000
The remediation process for existing mission-critical systems was completed by
March 31, 1999, as well as the testing and certification of these systems and
applications. In addition, during February and March of 1999, the Bank
participated in industry-wide Year 2000 integration testing sponsored by the
Mortgage Bankers Association. The Bank and the Company have also assessed risks
related to the potential failure of material third parties to be ready for the
year 2000.
At March 31, 1999, contingency plans have been completed for service providers.
The contingency plan for the critical supply vendors was completed mid-February
1999. The support plan for applications maintained in-house will be completed by
September 30, 1999. In addition, contingency plans are being developed by
critical business areas to address customer communications and operations issues
surrounding the Year 2000 event.
All costs related to Year 2000 will be expensed on the books of the Bank.
For additional information regarding the Year 2000 issue, refer to "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Year
2000" in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K.
