Item 1. Change in Control of Registrant
HomeSide Lending, Inc. ("HomeSide Lending") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
HomeSide Holdings, Inc. which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HomeSide, Inc.
(the "Parent"). HomeSide Lending is the primary operating subsidiary of the
Parent. On February 10, 1998, National Australia Bank Limited ("NAB") acquired
43,472,568 shares of common stock (the "Shares") of the Parent. 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 the Parent's
common stock and the Parent became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NAB.

which is based upon management's assumptions and includes adjustments as
