                CALIFORNIA FEDERAL PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
                     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 six months ended June 30, 2000
     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 six
     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, 1999. 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
     (the "Bank"), earnings per share data is not presented.

(2)  Residential Mortgage Loans, Net

     At June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, residential mortgage loans, net,
consisted of the following (in thousands):


                                                     June 30,     December 31,
                                                       2000          1999
                                                       ----          ----

                                                    =========      =========

     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.

(3)  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 1/8% 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 six month periods
     ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 to the holders of the Series A Preferred
     Shares totalled approximately $22.8 million.

                CALIFORNIA FEDERAL PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Dividends on common stock are paid if, when and as 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 six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

(4)  Related Party Transactions

     The Company entered into a servicing agreement with First Nationwide
     Mortgage Corporation ("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 $1,817,000 and $1,825,000 for the six
     months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Servicing fee expense paid totalled
     $913,000 and $915,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
     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
     $10,000 and $7,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The
     Company recorded such disposition fees totalling approximately $3,000 and
     $1,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
     These disposition fees are included in other noninterest expense in the
     accompanying statements of income.

     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 $16.7 million and $18.1 million at June
     30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively, and is included in due from
     affiliates. Substantially all of such payments were passed through to the
     Company in July 2000 and January 2000, respectively, as provided in the
     Servicing Agreement. At June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, trust funds of
     approximately $1.9 million and $1.5 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 June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company owed the Bank
     approximately $121,000 and $96,000, 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 July 2000 and January
     2000, respectively.

(5)  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 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 SFAS No. 107 the
     disclosure provisions about concentrations of credit risk from SFAS No.
     105. SFAS No. 133 supersedes SFAS No. 80, Accounting for Futures Contracts,
     SFAS No. 105, Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with
     Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of
     Credit Risk, and SFAS 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.

                CALIFORNIA FEDERAL PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



     SFAS No. 133 as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
     Statement No. 133 and by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative
     Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement
     No. 133, is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
     after June 15, 2000. 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 June 30, 2000; 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.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Six months ended June 30, 2000 versus six months ended June 30, 1999

Net Income. The Company reported net income for the six months ended June 30,
2000 of $34.2 million compared with net income of $32.8 million for the
corresponding period in 1999. This increase in 2000 compared with 1999 is
attributable to an increase in net interest income.

During each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company
declared and paid dividends of $22.8 million on the outstanding Series A
Preferred Shares. Net income available to the common stockholder for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 totalled $11.4 million and $10.0 million,
respectively. There were no common stock dividends paid during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Interest Income. The Company reported net interest income for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 of $34.2 million compared with net interest income of $33.0
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999. This increase in interest
income is attributed to a higher average yield on the residential mortgage loan
portfolio. The higher yield of 6.80% on residential mortgage loans during the
six month period ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the 6.56% yield for the same
period in 1999 is primarily due to the repricing of variable rate loans
resulting from comparatively higher market rates during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 versus the same period in 1999 and the purchase of new loans at
higher current market rates. The average outstanding balance of residential
mortgage loans during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 was $1.6 million
lower than during the same period in 1999. Net interest income during the six
months ended June 30, 2000 is comprised of $33.8 million ($35.6 million gross
interest less $1.8 million servicing fee expense) from residential mortgage
loans and $447,000 from short-term investments, representing an average yield
after servicing fees on residential mortgage loans of 6.80% and on earning
assets of 6.78%, based on average outstanding asset balances of $992.9 million
and $1,009.5 million, respectively. Net interest income during the six months
ended June 30, 1999 is comprised of $32.6 million ($34.4 million gross interest
less $1.8 million servicing fee expense) from residential mortgage loans and
$355,000 from short-term investments, representing an average yield after
servicing fees on residential mortgage loans of 6.56% and on earning assets of
6.53%, based on average outstanding asset balances of $994.5 million and
$1,009.9 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 recorded no provision for loan losses in
either of the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The determination
to record no provision for loan losses during these periods 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,
known and inherent risks in the residential mortgage loan portfolio, adverse
situations that have occurred but are not yet known and that may affect the
borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of the underlying collateral,
and economic conditions.

     Three months ended June 30, 2000 versus three months ended June 30, 1999

Net Income. The Company reported net income for the three months ended June 30,
2000 of $17.3 million compared with net income of $16.0 million for the
corresponding period in 1999. This increase in 2000 compared with 1999 is
attributable to an increase in net interest income.

During each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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 June 30, 2000 and 1999 totalled $5.9 million and $4.6 million,
respectively. There were no common stock dividends paid during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Interest Income. The Company reported net interest income for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 of $17.3 million compared with net interest income of $16.0
million for the three month period ended June 30, 1999. This increase in
interest income is attributed to a higher average yield on the residential
mortgage loan portfolio. The higher yield of 6.85% on residential mortgage loans
during the three month period ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the 6.38% yield
for the same period in 1999 is primarily due to the repricing of variable rate
loans resulting from comparatively higher market rates during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 versus the same period in 1999 and the purchase of new loans
at higher current market rates. The average outstanding balance of residential
mortgage loans during the three month period ended June 30, 2000 was $1.1
million lower than during the same period in 1999. Net interest income during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 is comprised of $17.0 million ($17.9
million gross interest less $913,000 servicing fee expense) from residential
mortgage loans and $275,000 from short-term investments, representing an average
yield after servicing fees on residential mortgage loans of 6.85% and on earning
assets of 6.83%, based on average outstanding asset balances of $993.0 million
and $1,013.0 million, respectively. Net interest income during the three months
ended June 30, 1999 is comprised of $15.8 million ($16.8 million gross interest
less $915,000 servicing fee expense) from residential mortgage loans and
$201,000 from short-term investments, representing an average yield after
servicing fees on residential mortgage loans of 6.38% and on earning assets of
6.34%, based on average outstanding asset balances of $994.1 million and
$1,012.5 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 recorded no provision for loan losses in
either of the three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The
determination to record no provision for loan losses during these periods 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, known and inherent risks in the residential mortgage loan portfolio,
adverse situations that have occurred but are not yet known and that may affect
the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of the underlying
collateral, and 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 June 30, 2000 or December 31, 1999.

The following table reflects residential mortgage loans with past due principal
and interest payments as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999:

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

As of June 30, 2000, the Company has allocated $101,000 of its allowance for
loan losses against specific problem loans, with the remaining $7.6 million
available to absorb potential loan losses from the entire residential mortgage
loan portfolio. The Company deems its allowance for loan losses as of June 30,
2000 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 six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

The Company's allowance coverage ratio (allowance for loan losses to loans) at
June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 was 0.79% and 0.81%, 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 $190.1
million and $208.6 million of the residential mortgage loans held by the Company
at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively, had the potential to
negatively amortize, while approximately $24.8 million and $31.9 million of the
residential mortgage loans had negatively amortized such that the current
principal balance of the loan exceeded the original principal balance at June
30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The current principal balance
exceeded the original principal balance on those loans by approximately $885,000
and $1.0 million as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. 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), where such increase in the interest rate does not
coincide with a corresponding adjustment of the borrower's monthly payment, the
Company may experience a decrease in cash available to be distributed to its
common stockholder.

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 June
30, 2000:

                                                      =========      =====

The 83.6% 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 six months ended June 30, 2000 were $34.6 million provided by
operating activities and $77.6 million provided by mortgage loan principal
repayments. The primary uses of funds were $78.6 million in purchases of
mortgage loans and $22.8 million in preferred stock dividends paid.

OTHER MATTERS

As of June 30, 2000, the Company was in full compliance with the REIT tax rules
and believes 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; and

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.

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