ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On September 11, 1998, Golden State Bancorp Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Golden State"), and its subsidiaries consummated the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of February
4, 1998, as amended (the "Agreement"), by and among Golden State, Golden State
Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Golden State ("Golden State Financial"), First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent Holdings"), First Nationwide Holdings
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("FNH"), First Gibraltar Holdings Inc., a Delaware
corporation and the sole stockholder of Parent Holdings ("FGH"), and Hunter's
Glen/Ford, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("Hunter's Glen").

     Pursuant to the Agreement, FNH merged with and into Golden State Financial
(the "FNH Merger"), Parent Holdings merged with and into Golden State (the
"Golden State Merger"), and Glendale Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank, an
indirect subsidiary of Golden State ("Glendale Federal"), merged (the
"Subsidiary Bank Merger") with and into California Federal Bank, A Federal
Savings Bank, an indirect subsidiary of FNH ("Cal Fed"). The Golden State
Merger and the FNH Merger are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the
"Holding Company Mergers," and the Holding Company Mergers and the Subsidiary
Bank Merger are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Mergers."
Immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers, FNH contributed all of
its assets, including all of the outstanding common stock of Cal Fed, to, and
its long-term debt was assumed by, Golden State Holdings Inc. (formerly New
First Nationwide Holdings Inc.), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of FNH. FNH formerly was owned 80% by Parent Holdings and 20% by
Hunter's Glen. Parent Holdings formerly was an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. Hunter's Glen is a limited partnership
controlled by Gerald J. Ford, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cal
Fed.

     Pursuant to the Agreement, FGH and Hunter's Glen received at the closing
of the Holding Company Mergers, in consideration of their interests as
stockholders of Parent Holdings and FNH, certificates representing 41 million
and 15.6 million shares, respectively, of common stock, par value $1.00 per
share, of Golden State ("Common Stock"), as determined pursuant to a formula
set forth in the Agreement. The number of shares covered by the share
certificates issued to FGH and Hunter's Glen at the closing was calculated
based on the number of outstanding securities of Golden State as of September
8, 1998. The number of shares of Common Stock which FGH and Hunter's Glen are
entitled to receive upon consummation of the Holding Company Mergers pursuant
to the Agreement was recalculated pursuant to the Agreement based on the number
of outstanding securities of Golden State as of the close of business on
September 11, 1998, and FGH and Hunter's Glen will be issued certificates
representing 7,503 and 1,876 additional shares of Common Stock, which FGH and
Hunter's Glen, respectively, are so entitled to receive based on such
recalculation.

     In addition, the Agreement provides that FGH and Hunter's Glen will be
entitled to receive contingent consideration, through the issuance by Golden
State of additional shares of Common Stock to FGH and Hunter's Glen following
consummation of the Mergers, based on (i) the use by the combined company of
certain potential tax benefits resulting from certain net operating loss
carryforwards of the consolidated group of which Parent Holdings was a part,
and the realization of certain other potential tax assets and liabilities of
Golden State and Parent Holdings and (ii) Cal Fed's net after-tax recovery in
certain specified litigation, including a percentage of the net after-tax
recovery, if any, in Cal Fed's goodwill litigation against the United States
(following payment by Cal Fed of all amounts due to the holders of its
contingent litigation recovery participation interests and its secondary
contingent litigation recovery participation interests and the retention of
certain amounts of such recovery by the combined company). The issuance of such
contingent consideration to FGH and Hunter's Glen will reduce the proportion of
the outstanding Common Stock owned by existing Golden State stockholders and
will correspondingly increase the proportion of the outstanding Common Stock
owned by FGH and Hunter's Glen. The foregoing summary of the provisions of the
Agreement relating to the contingent consideration payable to FGH and Hunter's
Glen following the Mergers does not purport to be complete and is qualified by
reference to the specific terms of the Agreement, included as Exhibits 2.1 and
2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

                                AMENDMENT NO. 1

     AMENDMENT NO. 1, dated as of July 13, 1998, by and among First Nationwide
(Parent) Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, First Nationwide Holdings Inc.,
a Delaware corporation, Golden State Bancorp Inc., a Delaware corporation,
Golden State Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, First Gibraltar
Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Hunter's Glen/Ford Ltd., Texas
limited partnership (collectively, the "Parties"), to the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Agreement"), dated as of February 4, 1998, by and among
the Parties. Capitalized terms which are not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

     WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Agreement, the Parties
desire to amend the Agreement as set forth herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. Section 1.6(c)(ii)(C) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new language at the end of subsection (3) thereof after the words
"Effective Date" but before the period:

       , plus

     (4) if the closing of the sale of assets and the assumption of
   liabilities contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of
   March 29, 1998, by and between CFB and Union Planters Bank of Florida (the
   "Florida Branch Sale"), occurs on or before the Effective Date, then for
   the first Taxable Period immediately following the Effective Date, any
   federal income tax savings resulting from the Florida Branch Sale. For this
   purpose, the amount of federal income tax savings resulting from the
   Florida Branch Sale shall be an amount equal to (i) the product of the
   amount of the gain recognized by CFB for federal income tax purposes as a
   result of the Florida Branch Sale and the highest marginal federal income
   tax rate applicable to corporations for the taxable year in which the
   Florida Branch Sale occurs, less (ii) the amount of any federal income
   taxes actually paid as a result of such sale (including any payment in lieu
   of federal income taxes under the Tax Sharing Agreement (as defined in
   Section 6.14)) by CFB.

     2. Section 1.6(c)(ii)(A) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new sentence at the end of such section:

     In the calculation of the Tax Benefits there shall be excluded any
   deductions resulting from or arising in connection with the refinancing of
   all of the long-term debt of FNH and Parent Holdings and the purchasing of
   all of the preferred stock of CFB, in each case outstanding as of the date
   hereof, pursuant to the refinancing transactions contemplated to be
   consummated immediately after the consummation of the transactions
   contemplated by this Agreement, or any transactions with substantially
   similar purpose or effect.

     3. Section 6.7(b) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following new Section 6.7(b):

     Parent Holdings shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
   persons serving as officers and directors of Golden State immediately prior
   to the Effective Time to be covered for a period of six (6) years from the
   Effective Time (the "Coverage Period") by the directors' and officers'
   liability insurance policy maintained by Golden State (except that
   effective as of the Effective Time the single aggregate coverage limit
   shall be increased to $100 million, and provided that Parent Holdings may
   substitute for such policy, as amended pursuant hereto, policies of
   directors' and officers' liability insurance of at least the same coverage
   and amounts and containing terms and conditions which are not less
   advantageous to such directors and officers of Golden State than the terms
   and conditions of such policy, as amended pursuant hereto) with respect to
   acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time which were
   committed by such officers and directors in their capacity as such;
   provided that Parent Holdings shall not be required as to any such policy
   to pay premiums in excess
<PAGE>

   of 300% of the amount currently expended annually by Golden State to obtain
   such insurance, and if such insurance cannot be obtained for such premium
   Parent Holdings shall obtain for such persons the maximum coverage that may
   be obtained for such premiums. It is the understanding of the parties
   hereto that the obligations of Parent Holdings contemplated by the
   preceding sentence are expected to be satisfied through the purchase by
   Parent Holdings, by means of the payment of a single premium prior to the
   Effective Time, of a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy
   with a single aggregate coverage limit of $100 million, and shall be so
   satisfied for so long as such policy remains in effect during the Coverage
   Period.


     4. Section 6.14(a)(ii) and Section 6.14(b)(i) of the Agreement are hereby
amended by deleting the words "Merger Sub" and inserting instead the words "New
FNH".


     5. All references to "this Agreement" in the Agreement shall be deemed to
refer to the Agreement as amended hereby.


     6. Each of the Parties represents to the other that (i) it has full
corporate (or partnership) power and authority to execute and deliver this
Amendment and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement,
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the execution and
delivery of this Amendment by such party have been duly and validly approved by
the Board of Directors of such party and no other corporate proceedings on the
part of such party are necessary in connection with the execution and delivery
of this Amendment by such party, and (iii) this Amendment has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by such party and constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance
with its terms.


     7. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, the Agreement is hereby
ratified and confirmed in all respects.


     8. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be considered one and
the same agreement, and shall become effective when counterparts have been
signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being
understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.


     9. This Amendment shall be governed and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any applicable conflicts of
law provisions.


                                       2

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Amendment to be executed
by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first
above written.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors
First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc.:


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First
Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income, stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.


     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.


     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First
Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. ORGANIZATION

     First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc. (the "Company" or "Parent
Holdings") is a holding company with no business operations of its own. Parent
Holdings' only significant asset is its indirect ownership of 80% of the common
stock of California Federal Bank, A Federal Savings Bank ("California Federal"
or "Bank"), formerly First Nationwide Bank, A Federal Savings Bank ("First
Nationwide"), formerly First Madison Bank, FSB ("First Madison"). Parent
Holdings owns directly 80% of the common stock of First Nationwide Holdings
Inc. ("FN Holdings"), a holding company which owns all of the common stock of
California Federal. As such, Parent Holdings' principal business operations are
conducted by California Federal and its subsidiaries. Parent Holdings is a
subsidiary of First Gibraltar Holdings Inc. ("First Gibraltar Holdings"), an
indirect subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. ("M&F Holdings").

     The Bank was organized and chartered as First Gibraltar Bank, FSB ("First
Gibraltar"), a federal stock savings bank, in December 1988 for the primary
purpose of acquiring substantially all of the assets and assuming deposit,
secured and certain other liabilities of five insolvent Texas savings and loan
associations ("Closed Associations") from the Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC"), as receiver.

     On February 1, 1993, First Gibraltar sold to BankAmerica Corporation
certain assets, liabilities and substantially all of the branch operations of
First Gibraltar located in Texas, including $829 million of loans and 130
branches with approximately $6.9 billion in deposits (the "BAC Sale"). A net
gain of $141 million was recorded in connection with this sale. Concurrently
with the BAC Sale, First Gibraltar changed its name to First Madison Bank, FSB.
 

     On April 14, 1994, First Madison entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement
(the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with First Nationwide Bank, A Federal Savings
Bank ("Old FNB"), an indirect subsidiary of Ford Motor Company ("Ford Motor").
On October 3, 1994, effective immediately after the close of business on
September 30, 1994, First Madison acquired substantially all of the assets and
certain of the liabilities (the "FN Acquired Business") of Old FNB (the "FN
Acquisition") for approximately $715 million based on estimates prepared by Old
FNB. On March 2, 1995, an additional $11.5 million was paid to Old FNB pursuant
to certain settlement provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Effective on
October 1, 1994, First Madison changed its name to First Nationwide Bank, A
Federal Savings Bank.

     On January 3, 1997, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") among FN Holdings, Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. ("Cal Fed") and
California Federal Bank, A Federal Savings Bank ("Old California Federal"), FN
Holdings acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Cal Fed and Old California
Federal, and First Nationwide merged with and into Old California Federal. The
aggregate consideration paid under the Merger Agreement consisted of
approximately $1.2 billion in cash and the issuance of litigation interests
(the "Cal Fed Acquisition"). Cal Fed, a savings and loan holding company, owned
100% of the common stock of Old California Federal. At December 31, 1996, Old
California Federal had total assets of approximately $14.1 billion and deposits
of $8.9 billion, and operated 119 branches in California and Nevada. Effective
on January 3, 1997, First Nationwide changed its name to California Federal
Bank, A Federal Savings Bank. In connection with the Cal Fed Acquisition, FN
Holdings made a capital contribution to the Bank on January 3, 1997 of
approximately $685 million.

     In November 1996, the Bank created California Federal Preferred Capital
Corporation ("Preferred Capital Corp."), a real estate investment trust
("REIT"), for the purpose of acquiring, holding and managing real estate
mortgage assets. All of Preferred Capital Corp.'s common stock is owned by the
Bank. Pursuant to a subservicing agreement with the Bank's wholly-owned
mortgage banking subsidiary, First Nationwide Mortgage Corporation ("FNMC"),
FNMC services Preferred Capital Corp.'s mortgage assets. On January 31, 1997,
Preferred Capital Corp. issued to the public $500 million of its 9 1/8%


                                       9

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
Noncumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "REIT Preferred Stock"), which
is reflected in the Company's 1997 consolidated balance sheet as minority
interest. Preferred Capital Corp. used the proceeds from such offering to
acquire mortgage assets from the Bank.

     The Bank is a diversified financial services company that primarily serves
consumers in California, and to a lesser extent, in Florida and Nevada. The
Bank's principal business consists of (i) operating retail deposit branches,
(ii) originating and/or purchasing 1-4 unit residential loans and, to a lesser
extent, certain commercial real estate and consumer loans, for investment and
(iii) mortgage banking activities, including originating and servicing 1-4 unit
residential loans for others. Recently, with its entry into the sub-prime
automobile finance business, the Bank broadened its complement of consumer
lending products. These operating activities are financed principally with
customer deposits, secured short-term and long-term borrowings, collections on
loans, asset sales and retained earnings.


2. FN ESCROW MERGER

     On January 3, 1997 and prior to the consummation of the Cal Fed
Acquisition, First Nationwide Escrow Corp. ("FN Escrow"), an affiliate of FN
Holdings, was merged with and into FN Holdings, pursuant to a merger agreement
by and between FN Holdings and FN Escrow (the "FN Escrow Merger"). In
connection therewith, FN Holdings acquired the net proceeds from the issuance
of FN Escrow's $575 million of senior subordinated notes due 2003 (the "10 5/8%
Notes") and assumed FN Escrow's obligations under the 10 5/8% Notes and
indenture. Deferred issuance costs associated with the 10 5/8% Notes of $19
million were included in FN Escrow's other assets and are being amortized over
the term of the 10 5/8% Notes.

     Concurrent with the issuance of the 10 5/8% Notes, FN Escrow issued
approximately $36 million aggregate liquidation value of cumulative perpetual
preferred stock (the "FN Escrow Preferred Stock") to Trans Network Insurance
Services Inc., an affiliate of FN Escrow. The FN Escrow Preferred Stock had a
stated liquidation value of $10,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid
dividends, if any. Cash dividends on the FN Escrow Preferred Stock were
cumulative and accrued at an annual rate of approximately 7.3% of the stated
liquidation value. In connection with the FN Escrow Merger, each share of FN
Escrow Preferred Stock was converted into and became one share of cumulative
perpetual preferred stock of FN Holdings (the "FN Holdings/FN Escrow Preferred
Stock"), which stock had the same relative rights, terms and preferences as the
FN Escrow Preferred Stock. Immediately after issuance, FN Holdings redeemed the
FN Holdings/FN Escrow Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $36.8 million,
representing its stated liquidation value and accrued and unpaid dividends to
January 3, 1997. At the same time, a $19 million loan receivable from an
affiliate of FN Holdings was repaid.


3. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

 LMUSA Purchases

     On October 2, 1995, FNMC purchased from Lomas Mortgage USA, Inc. ("LMUSA")
a loan servicing portfolio of approximately $11.1 billion (including a
sub-servicing portfolio of $3.1 billion), a $2.9 billion master servicing
portfolio in which FNMC monitors the performance and consolidates the reporting
and remittances of multiple servicers for various investors (a "master
servicing portfolio") and other assets for $100.9 million, and the assumption
of certain indebtedness relating to an acquired loan portfolio totalling
approximately $274 million (the "LMUSA 1995 Purchase"). On January 31, 1996,
FNMC purchased LMUSA's remaining $14.1 billion loan servicing portfolio
(including a sub-servicing portfolio of $2.4 billion), a master servicing
portfolio of $2.7 billion, $5.9 million in foreclosed real estate, $46.8
million in net other servicing receivables, $2.6 million in mortgage loans, and
$6.2 million in net other assets (including $1.4 million in cash and cash
equivalents) for a purchase price of approximately $160.9 million (the "LMUSA
1996 Purchase" and, together with the LMUSA 1995 Purchase, the "LMUSA
Purchases").

</TABLE>

     The Cal Fed Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly,
the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
in the transaction based on estimates of fair value at the date of purchase.
Since the date of purchase, the results of operations related to such assets
and liabilities have been included in the Company's 1997 consolidated statement
of income.


 Weyerhaeuser Purchase


     On May 31, 1997, FNMC acquired a 1-4 unit residential loan servicing
portfolio of approximately $3.2 billion and approximately 40,000 loans from WMC
Mortgage Corporation (the "Weyerhaeuser Purchase") for $37.1 million. The
Company's consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1997
includes the results of the acquired servicing portfolio from June 1, 1997.


 Auto One Acquisition


     On September 1, 1997, the Bank acquired Auto One Acceptance Corporation
("Auto One") in a purchase transaction (the "Auto One Acquisition"). Auto One
primarily engages in indirect sub-prime auto financing activities, providing
loan processing, funding and loan servicing for over 800 franchised automobile
dealers. Auto One is a licensed lender in 47 states. Auto One is headquartered
in Dallas, Texas, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. The results of
operations for Auto One for the period from September 1, 1997 are included in
the Company's consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31,
1997.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 Servicing Sale

     On September 30, 1997, FNMC sold servicing rights for approximately 52,000
loans with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $2.3 billion,
recognizing a pre-tax gain of $14.0 million (the "Servicing Sale").

 Branch Sales

     During the first six months of 1996, the Bank consummated the sale of its
retail deposits and the related retail banking assets comprised of cash on
hand, loans on deposits, and facilities in Ohio, New York, New Jersey and
Michigan (collectively, the "Branch Sales") at gross prices which represented
an average premium of 7.96% of the approximately $4.6 billion deposits sold.
The Bank recorded a pre-tax gain of $363.3 million in connection with the
Branch Sales. The Company's consolidated statement of income for the year ended
December 31, 1996 includes the results of operations of those branches sold in
the Branch Sales for the period prior to sale.

 Garberville Branch Sale

     On May 9, 1997, the Bank consummated the sale of deposit accounts and
related retail banking assets comprised of cash on hand, loans on deposits and
facilities totalling $21.7 million to Humboldt Bank at a gross price
representing a deposit premium of 4.5% (the "Garberville Branch Sale"), and
resulting in a net pre-tax gain on sale of $1.1 million.

 Texas Branch Sale

     On December 12, 1997, the Bank sold its retail deposits and all related
retail banking facilities in the state of Texas (consisting of three branches)
totalling $57.6 million at a gross price representing a deposit premium of 4.1%
and resulting in a pre-tax net gain on sale of $2.5 million (the "Texas Branch
Sale").

 Pro Forma Financial Information

     The following unaudited pro forma financial information combines the
historical results of the Company as if the Cal Fed Acquisition and the
issuances of the REIT Preferred Stock, the 10 5/8% Notes and the 12 1/2% Senior
Notes (as defined herein) had occurred as of the beginning of the first year
presented (in thousands):

     The gains recognized related to the Branch Sales, net of related taxes,
and certain sales of branches by Cal Fed are excluded from the above table. The
pro forma information does not include the effect of the Home Federal
Acquisition, the SFFed Acquisition, the LMUSA 1996 Purchase, the Weyerhaeuser
Purchase, the Auto One Acquisition, the Servicing Sale, the Branch Sales, the
Garberville Branch Sale, the Texas Branch Sale, the sales of certain branches
by Cal Fed or the issuance of the 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes because such
effect is not significant. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative
of the results which would have actually been obtained if the Cal Fed
Acquisition and the issuances of the REIT Preferred Stock, the 10 5/8% Notes or
the 12 1/2% Senior Notes had been consummated in the past nor do they project
the results of operations in any future period.

 Purchase Accounting Adjustments

     Premiums and discounts related to interest-earning assets acquired and
interest-bearing liabilities assumed are amortized (accreted) to operations
using the interest method over the estimated remaining lives of the respective
assets and liabilities.

 GSAC Acquisition

     On September 5, 1997, the Bank entered into an agreement with Gulf States
Acceptance Company, a Delaware limited partnership ("GSAC") and its general
partner, Gulf States Financial Services, a Texas corporation, pursuant to which
Auto One will acquire 100% of the partnership interests in GSAC and GSAC will
be liquidated and its assets and liabilities will be transferred to Auto One
(the "GSAC Acquisition"). The aggregate consideration to be paid in connection
with the GSAC Acquisition is approximately $22.5 million and a 20% interest in
the common stock of Auto One. This transaction closed on February 4, 1998. See
note 35 "Subsequent Events" for further discussion.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accounting and reporting policies of Parent Holdings conform to
generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the
savings and loan industry. The following summarizes the more significant of
these policies.

     (a) Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Parent Holdings, FN Holdings, the Bank and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries
not subject to the Assistance Agreement (as defined herein). Earnings per share
data is not presented due to the limited ownership of the Company. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash and amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits
in other banks, and other short-term investment securities with original
maturities of three months or less. Savings and loan associations are required
by the Federal Reserve System to maintain non-interest bearing cash reserves
equal to a percentage of certain deposits. The reserve balance for California
Federal at December 31, 1997 was $51.0 million.

     (c) Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities

     The Company's investment in securities consists primarily of U.S.
government and agency securities and mortgage-backed securities. Parent
Holdings classifies debt and equity securities, including mortgage-backed
securities, into one of three categories: held to maturity, available for sale
or trading securities. Securities held to maturity represent securities which
management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are
reported at amortized cost. Securities bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities
and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in
income. All other securities are classified as available for sale and are
carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax,
reported as a separate component of stockholder's equity until realized. Should
an other than temporary decline in the fair value of a security classified as
held to maturity or available for sale occur, the carrying value of such
security would be written down to fair value by a charge to operations.
Realized gains or losses on securities available for sale are computed on a
specific identification basis and are accounted for on a trade-date basis.

     Amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts relating to
mortgage-backed securities is recognized using the interest method over the
estimated lives of the underlying mortgages with adjustments based on
prepayment experience.

     (d) Loans Held for Sale, Net

     One-to-four unit residential loans originated and intended for sale in the
secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value as
determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield
requirements calculated on an aggregate basis. Net unrealized losses are
recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.


                                       15
<PAGE>

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     (e) Loans Receivable, Net

     Loans receivable, net, is stated at unpaid principal balances, less the
allowance for loan losses, and net of deferred loan origination fees and
purchase discounts or premiums.

     Discounts or premiums on 1-4 unit residential loans are accreted or
amortized to income using the interest method over the remaining period the
loans are expected to be outstanding. Discounts or premiums on consumer and
other loans are recognized over the lives of the loans using the interest
method.

     A significant portion of the Company's real estate loan portfolio is
comprised of adjustable-rate mortgages. The interest rate and payment terms of
these mortgages adjust on a periodic basis in accordance with various published
indices. The majority of these adjustable-rate mortgages have terms which limit
the amount of interest rate adjustment that can occur each year and over the
life of the mortgage. During periods of limited payment increases, negative
amortization may occur on certain adjustable-rate mortgages. See note 31.

     The allowance for loan losses 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 Company's past
loan loss experience, delinquency trends, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay,
the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic
conditions. As management utilizes information currently available to make such
evaluation, the allowance for loan losses is subjective and may be adjusted in
the future depending on changes in economic conditions or other factors.
Additionally, regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their regular
examination process, review the Bank's allowance for estimated losses on a
periodic basis. These authorities may require the Bank to recognize additions
to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at
the time of their examination.

     Uncollectible interest on loans that are contractually ninety days or more
past due is charged off, or an allowance is established, based on management's
periodic evaluation. The allowance is established by a charge to interest
income equal to all interest previously accrued, and 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.

     (f) Auto One Loans

     Since the consummation of the Auto One Acquisition, California Federal has
purchased sub-prime auto financing contracts from an established dealer network
throughout the United States. Any premium or discount is amortized using the
interest method over the estimated lives of the loans. The allowance for
estimated losses is regularly assessed by management, and such allowances are
maintained on a static pool basis.

     (g) Impaired Loans

     The Company considers 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. Any
insignificant delay (i.e., 60 days or less) or insignificant shortfall in
amount of payments will not cause a loan to be considered impaired. In
determining impairment, the Company considers large non-homogeneous loans
including nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, and performing loans
which exhibit, among other characteristics, high loan-to-value ratios, low
debt-coverage ratios, or other indications that the borrowers are experiencing
increased levels of financial difficulty. The Company bases the measurement of
collateral-dependent impaired loans on the fair value of the loan's collateral.
The amount, if any, by which the recorded investment of the loan exceeds the
measure of the impaired loan's value is recognized by recording a valuation
allowance.


                                       16
<PAGE>

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     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. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans
are collectively evaluated for impairment. For the Company, loans collectively
reviewed for impairment include all single-family loans, and performing
multi-family and commercial real estate loans under $500,000, excluding loans
which have entered the workout process.

     Cash receipts on impaired loans not performing according to contractual
terms are generally used to reduce the carrying value of the loan, unless the
Company believes it will recover the remaining principal balance of the loan.
Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a
charge to provision for loan losses. Adjustments to impairment losses due to
changes in the fair value of collateral of impaired loans are included in
provision for loan losses. Upon disposition of an impaired loan, loss of
principal, if any, is recorded through a charge-off to the allowance for loan
losses.

     (h) Loan Origination and Commitment Fees and Related Costs

     Loan origination fees, net of direct underwriting and closing costs, are
deferred and amortized to interest income using the interest method over the
contractual term of the loans, adjusted for actual loan prepayment experience.
Unamortized fees on loans sold or paid in full are recognized as income.
Adjustable-rate loans with lower initial interest rates during the introductory
period result in the amortization of a substantial portion of the net deferred
fee during the introductory period.

     Fees received in connection with loan commitments are deferred and
recognized as fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the
commitment. If the commitment is subsequently exercised during the commitment
period, the remaining unamortized commitment fee at the time of exercise is
recognized over the term of the loan using the interest method.

     Commitment fees paid to investors, for the right to deliver permanent
residential mortgages in the future to the investors at a specified yield, are
deferred. Amounts are included in the recognition of gain (loss) on sale of
loans as loans are delivered to the investor in proportion to the percentage
relationship of loans delivered to the total commitment amount. Any unused fee
is recognized as an expense at the expiration of the commitment date, or
earlier, if it is determined that the commitment will not be filled.

     Other loan fees and charges, which represent income from the prepayment of
loans, delinquent payment charges, and miscellaneous loan services, are
recognized as income when collected.

     (i) Office Premises and Equipment

     Land is carried at cost. Premises, equipment and leasehold improvements
are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Premises,
equipment and leasehold improvements are depreciated or amortized on a
straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful
lives of the various classes of assets. Maintenance and repairs on premises and
equipment are charged to expense in the period incurred.

     Closed facilities of the Company and its subsidiaries are carried at fair
value. In the case of leased premises that are vacated by the Company, a
liability is recorded representing the difference between the net present value
of future lease payments and holding costs and the net present value of
anticipated sublease income, if any, for the remaining term of the lease.

     (j) Foreclosed Real Estate

     Real estate acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at fair
value less estimated disposal costs at the time of foreclosure. Subsequent to
foreclosure, the Company charges current earnings with a provision for
estimated losses when the carrying value of the collateral property exceeds its
fair value. Gains or losses on the sale of real estate are recognized upon
disposition of the property. Carrying costs such as maintenance and property
taxes are expensed as incurred.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     (k) Intangible Assets

     Intangible assets, which primarily consist of the excess of cost over fair
value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for as a
purchase, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period to be
benefited of 15 years. The Company periodically reviews the operations of the
businesses acquired to determine that income from operations continues to
support the recoverability of its intangible assets and the amortization
periods used.

     (l) Mortgage Servicing Rights

     The Company purchases mortgage servicing rights separately and acquires
mortgage servicing rights by purchasing or originating mortgage loans and
selling those loans with servicing rights retained. Generally, purchased
mortgage servicing rights are capitalized at the cost to acquire the rights and
are carried at the lower of cost, net of accumulated amortization, or fair
value. Originated mortgage servicing rights are capitalized based on the
relative fair value of the servicing right to the fair value of the loan and
the servicing right and are carried at the lower of the capitalized amount, net
of accumulated amortization, or fair value.

     A portion of the cost of originating a mortgage loan is allocated to the
mortgage servicing right based on its fair value. To determine the fair value
of mortgage servicing rights, the Company uses market prices for comparable
mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively uses a valuation
model that calculates the present value of future net servicing income. In
using this valuation method, the Company incorporates assumptions that market
participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, which include
estimates of the cost of servicing, the discount rate, mortgage escrow earnings
rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates
and losses.

     Mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the
period of, estimated net servicing income. The amortization of the mortgage
servicing rights is analyzed periodically and is adjusted to reflect changes in
prepayment rates and other estimates. A decline in long-term interest rates
generally results in an acceleration in mortgage loan prepayments.

     The Company measures the impairment of servicing rights based on the
difference between the carrying amount and current fair value of the servicing
rights. In determining impairment, the Company aggregates all mortgage
servicing rights and stratifies them based on the predominant risk
characteristics of interest rate, loan type and investor type. A valuation
allowance is established for any excess of amortized cost over the current fair
value, by risk stratification, by a charge to income.

     The Company employs hedging techniques through the use of interest rate
floor contracts and principal-only swap agreements to reduce the sensitivity of
its earnings and value of its servicing rights to declining interest rates and
borrower prepayments as further discussed in note 17. The Company uses hedge
accounting because mortgage servicing rights expose the Company to interest
rate risk and at the inception and throughout the hedge period, high
correlation of changes in the market value of the hedge instruments and the
fair value of the mortgage servicing rights are probable so that the results of
the hedge instruments will substantially offset the effects of interest rate
changes on the mortgage servicing rights. If these requirements are not met,
the hedge instruments are considered speculative and are marked to market with
changes in market value reflected in current earnings.

     The premium paid by the Company on the interest rate floor contracts is
amortized based on the option decay rate. Amounts receivable or payable under
the principal-only swap agreements and amounts receivable under the interest
rate floor contracts or terminated hedges are included in the carrying value of
mortgage servicing rights and are amortized as part of the mortgage servicing
rights basis.

     (m) Gains/Losses on Sales of Mortgage Loans

     Mortgage loans are generally sold with the mortgage servicing rights
retained by the Company. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced
by the cost allocated to the associated mortgage servicing


                                       18
<PAGE>

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
rights. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the
difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related
mortgage loans sold. Deferred origination fees and expenses, net of commitment
fees paid in connection with the sale of the loans, are recognized at the time
of sale in the gain or loss determination.

     (n) Servicing Fee Income

     Servicing fee income is recorded for the fees earned for servicing
mortgage loans under servicing agreements with Fannie Mae ("FNMA"), Freddie Mac
("FHLMC"), the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), and certain
private investors. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the
outstanding principal balance or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as
income when received. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted
against servicing fee income.

     (o) Interest Rate Swap Agreements

     The Bank is a party to various interest rate swap agreements as a means of
managing its interest rate exposure relative to the Bank's FHLB advances.
Amounts receivable or payable under these derivative financial instruments are
recognized as adjustments to interest expense of the hedged liability (FHLB
advances). Gains and losses on early termination of these agreements are
included in the carrying amount of the related liability and amortized over the
remaining term of the liability.

     (p) Income Taxes

     For federal income tax purposes, Parent Holdings and FN Holdings are
members of the Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco," the indirect parent of FN
Holdings) affiliated group, and accordingly, their federal taxable income or
loss will be included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by
Mafco. Parent Holdings may also be included in certain state and local income
tax returns of Mafco or its subsidiaries. FN Holdings' tax sharing agreement
with Mafco provides that income taxes will be based on the separate results of
FN Holdings. The agreement generally provides that FN Holdings will pay to
Mafco amounts equal to the taxes that FN Holdings would be required to pay if
it were to file a return separately from the affiliated group. Furthermore, the
agreement provides that FN Holdings shall be entitled to take into account any
net operating loss carryovers in determining its tax liability. The agreement
also provides that Mafco will pay FN Holdings amounts equal to tax refunds FN
Holdings would be entitled to if it had always filed a separate company tax
return. Parent Holdings has not entered into any tax sharing agreements.

     Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.

     (q) Extraordinary Gain or Loss from Extinguishment of Debt

     During 1996, California Federal repurchased $44 million aggregate
principal amount of the $50 million in 11.20% Senior Notes (as defined herein)
assumed in the SFFed Acquisition resulting in an extraordinary loss of
approximately $1.6 million, net of income taxes, on the early extinguishment of
debt. During 1995, California Federal prepaid $250 million in FHLB advances
resulting in an extraordinary gain of approximately $2.0 million, net of income
taxes, on the early extinguishment of such borrowings.

     (r) Management's Use of Estimates

     The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the


                                       19
<PAGE>

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and
(iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     (s) Reclassification

     Certain amounts within the consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

     (t) 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 consolidated financial
statements.

     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. 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 comparative purposes is required. This statement
has no impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company, but does impact the Company's disclosure requirements. The Company
adopted this statement effective October 1, 1997.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public
business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual
financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. This
statement supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," but retains the
requirement to report information about major customers. It amends Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 94, "Consolidation of All

Majority-Owned Subsidiaries," to remove the special disclosure requirements for
previously unconsolidated subsidiaries. This statement is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application,
comparative informative for earlier years is to be restated. This statement
need not be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of
application, but comparative information for interim periods in the initial
year of application is to be reported in financial statements for interim
periods in the second year of application. 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.


5. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION (IN THOUSANDS)


     Cash paid for interest for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 was $1,459,676, $841,192, and $702,254, respectively.


     During the year ended December 31, 1997, noncash activity consisted of
transfers from loans receivable and loans held for sale to foreclosed real
estate of $179.6 million, $19.4 million of loans made to facilitate sales of
real estate owned, and a contribution of capital through the redemption of
Additional FN Holdings Preferred Stock of $1.9 million. In addition, $50.8
million was transferred from loans held for sale to mortgage-backed securities
classified as trading securities upon the securitization of certain of the
Bank's qualifying single-family loans.


     During the year ended December 31, 1996, noncash activity consisted of
transfers from loans receivable and loans held for sale to foreclosed real
estate of $109.8 million, $13.0 million of loans made to facilitate sales of
real estate owned, the reclassification of certain consumer loans from loans
held for sale (at lower of cost or market) to loans receivable totalling $27.7
million, a $46.8 million dividend paid in the form of a loan receivable from an
affiliate and the issuance of additional FN Holdings preferred stock through
preferred stock dividends to minority stockholders of $.8 million.


     During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued a Special Report, "A Guide to Implementation of
Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" (the "Special Report"). The Special Report provided all entities an
opportunity to reassess their ability and intent to hold securities to maturity
and allowed a one time reclassification of securities from held-to-maturity to
available-for-sale without "tainting" the remaining held-to-maturity
securities. On December 29, 1995, the Company reclassified $1.5 billion and
$231.8 million in carrying value of mortgage-backed securities and U.S.
government and agency securities, respectively, from the respective
held-to-maturity categories to securities available for sale. In addition,
other noncash activity included $326.0 million of consumer loans reclassified
from loans receivable to loans held for sale, transfers from loans receivable
to foreclosed real estate of $79.6 million, and $376.3 million transferred from
loans receivable to mortgage-backed securities held to maturity representing
the securitization of certain of the Bank's qualifying single-family loans.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     Marketable equity securities available for sale at December 31, 1996
represented approximately 5.93% of the outstanding stock of Affiliated Computer
Services ("ACS"), representing 2.24% of the voting power with a cost basis of
$27 million. The ACS stock represents the only marketable equity security
classified as available for sale at December 31, 1996. Pursuant to the terms of
a settlement agreement dated June 17, 1991 between the Bank, ACS, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the FDIC was entitled to share
in a defined portion of the proceeds from the sale of the stock, which, at
December 31, 1995, approximated $34.5 million, and which was recorded in other
liabilities. On June 28, 1996, the Bank sold 2,000,000 shares of its investment
in common stock of ACS for gross proceeds totalling $92.3 million from which it
satisfied its full obligation to the FDIC. A pre-tax gain of $40.4 million
resulted from this transaction and was recorded as a gain on sale of assets in
the 1996 consolidated statement of income. The Bank's remaining shares of ACS
stock were sold in October 1997, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately
$25.0 million.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     The weighted average stated interest rates on mortgage-backed securities
held to maturity were 7.33% and 7.06% at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, mortgage-backed securities held to
maturity included variable rate securities totalling $1.3 billion and $1.6
billion, respectively, which resulted from the securitization with FNMA and
FHLMC of certain qualifying mortgage loans from the Bank's, Old California
Federal's and San Francisco Federal's loan portfolios with full recourse to the
Bank.


     At December 31, 1997, mortgage-backed securities held to maturity of $1.3
billion were pledged as collateral for various obligations as further discussed
in notes 19, 20 and 31.

     The Bank's lending activities are principally conducted in California, New
York, Texas and Florida.


     At December 31, 1997, $11.2 billion in residential loans were pledged as
collateral for FHLB advances as further discussed in note 20.


     As a result of the FN and the Cal Fed Acquisitions, the Bank assumed
obligations for certain loans sold with recourse. The outstanding balances of
loans sold with recourse at December 31, 1997 totalled $2.8 billion. No loans
were sold with recourse during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995. The Bank evaluates the credit risk of loans sold with recourse and, if
necessary, records a liability (other liabilities) for estimated losses related
to these potential obligations. At December 31, 1997, such liability totalled
$52.4 million.

     At December 31, 1997, the Company's loan portfolio totalling $19.9 billion
is concentrated in California. The financial condition of the Company is
subject to general economic conditions such as the volatility of interest rates
and real estate market conditions and, in particular, to conditions in the
California residential real estate market. Any downturn in the economy
generally, and in California in particular, could reduce real estate values. An
increase in the general level of interest rates may adversely affect the
ability of certain borrowers to pay the interest on and principal of their
obligations. Accordingly, in the event interest rates rise or real estate
market values decline, particularly in California, the Company and the Bank may
find it difficult to maintain its asset quality and may require additional
allowances for loss above the amounts currently estimated by management.

     For nonaccrual loans and loans classified as troubled debt restructurings,
the following table summarizes the interest income recognized ("Recognized")
and total interest income that would have been recognized had the borrowers
performed under the original terms of the loans ("Contractual") for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands).

1996. Such loan bore interest at the rate of 10.5% over the prevailing yield to
maturity of the five-year United States treasury note, and was an unsecured
subordinated obligation of the borrower guaranteed by certain other affiliates
of FN Holdings, which obligation to FN Holdings was evidenced by a promissory
note (the "Promissory Note"). Management believes that the terms and conditions
of such loan were at least as favorable to FN Holdings as might have been
obtained in a similar transaction with an unaffiliated party. On May 15, 1996,
FN Holdings distributed the Promissory Note to Parent Holdings as a partial
redemption of and dividends on class C common stock. Parent Holdings
distributed the Promissory Note in the form of a dividend to an affiliate.


     During 1996 FN Holdings loaned approximately $19 million to an affiliate.
Such loan accrued interest at the rate of 14%, and was an unsecured
subordinated obligation of the borrower, which obligation to FN Holdings was
evidenced by a promissory note. Management believes that the terms and
conditions of such loan were at least as favorable to FN Holdings as might have
been obtained in a similar transaction with an unaffiliated party. On January
3, 1997, such loan, together with the accrued interest thereon, was repaid.


11. IMPAIRED LOANS


     At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the carrying value of loans that are
considered to be impaired totalled $110.1 million and $102.1 million
respectively (of which $18.6 million and $22.6 million, respectively, were on
nonaccrual status). The average recorded investment in impaired loans during
the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $112.9
million, $103.7 million and $125.5 million, respectively. For the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company recognized interest income on
those impaired loans of $10.5 million, $10.7 million and $12.9 million,
respectively, which included $.6 million, $.3 million and $.2 million,
respectively, of interest income recognized using the cash basis method of
income recognition.


     Generally, specific allowances for loan losses relative to impaired
multi-family and commercial real estate loans, which comprised the majority of
impaired loans, have not been established. Generally, the carrying value of
such loans, net of purchase accounting adjustments, does not exceed the loans'
related collateral values less estimated selling costs. There have been no
significant multi-family or commercial real estate loans originated since
October 1, 1994.

12. PUT AGREEMENT


     In connection with the FN Acquisition, the Bank assumed generally the same
rights under an agreement ("Put Agreement") Old FNB had with Granite Management
and Disposition, Inc. ("Granite"), an indirect subsidiary of Ford Motor,
whereby Old FNB had the option to sell ("put") to Granite, on a quarterly
basis, up to approximately $500 million of certain assets, primarily
non-performing commercial real estate loans and residential mortgage loans with
an original principal balance greater than $250,000. The Put Agreement expired
on November 30, 1996. The aggregate purchase price of assets "put" to Granite
equals $500 million, including assets "put" to Granite by Old FNB through
October 3, 1994. Granite purchased these assets for an amount equal to the
assets' outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and certain other
expenses.


13. RECEIVABLES FROM THE FSLIC/RF--COVERED ASSETS


     As part of First Gibraltar's 1988 acquisition of the five Closed
Associations, it entered into an assistance agreement (the "Assistance
Agreement") with the FSLIC. Assets subject to the Assistance Agreement were
known as "Covered Assets." The Assistance Agreement generally provided for
guaranteed yield amounts to be paid on the book value of the Covered Assets,
and paid the Bank for 90% of the losses incurred upon disposition of the
Covered Assets ("Capital Loss Coverage").


     In June 1995, the FDIC, as manager of the FSLIC Resolution Fund
("FSLIC/RF"), as successor to the FSLIC, exercised its rights under the
Assistance Agreement to purchase substantially all of the remaining Covered
Assets as of June 1, 1995 at the fair market value of such assets and further
purchased additional assets from the remaining Covered Asset portfolio in
September 1995 (the "FDIC Purchase"). Any losses sustained by the Bank as a
result of the FDIC Purchase were reimbursed under the Capital Loss Coverage
provision of the Assistance Agreement. Proceeds from this transaction were
reinvested in the normal course of business.


     On August 19, 1996, the Bank and the FSLIC/RF executed an agreement which
resulted in the termination of the Assistance Agreement. As a result of the
agreement, the FSLIC/RF paid the Bank the remaining Covered Asset balance of
$39 million and, among other things, assumed the responsibility for the
disposition of several litigation matters involving Covered Assets which had
been retained by the Bank following the FDIC Purchase. In connection with the
agreement, a pre-tax gain of $25.6 million was recorded.


14. INVESTMENT IN FHLB


     The Company's investment in FHLB stock is carried at cost. The FHLB
provides a central credit facility for member institutions. As a member of the
FHLB system, the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB in an amount
equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
its residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations
at the beginning of each calendar year, (ii) .3% of total assets, or (iii) 5%
of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of San Francisco. The Bank was in
compliance with this requirement at December 31, 1997 and 1996. At December 31,
1997, the Bank's investment in FHLB stock was pledged as collateral for FHLB
advances as further discussed in note 20.

     At December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the outstanding balances of 1-4 unit
residential loan participations, whole loans and mortgage pass-through
securities serviced for other investors by FNMC totalled $46.6 billion, $43.1
billion and $28.6 billion, respectively. In addition, FNMC had $6.2 billion,
$5.7 billion and $3.0 billion of master servicing at December 31, 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

     The estimated fair value of the MSRs was $647 million and $529 million at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The estimated market value of
interest rate floor contracts and swaps designated as hedges against MSRs at
December 31, 1997 was $18.0 million and $13.5 million, respectively. At
December 31, 1997 and 1996, no allowance for impairment of the MSRs was
necessary.

     A decline in long-term interest rates generally results in an acceleration
of mortgage loan prepayments. Higher than anticipated levels of prepayments
generally cause the accelerated amortization of MSRs and generally will result
in a reduction of the market value of MSRs and in the Company's servicing fee
income. To reduce the sensitivity of its earnings to interest rate and market
value fluctuations, the Company hedged the change in value of its servicing
rights based on changes in interest rates.

     At December 31, 1997, the Company, through FNMC, was a party to several
interest rate floor contracts maturing from October 2001 through June 2002. The
Company paid counterparties a premium

Treasury rate falls below the strike prices. At December 31, 1997, the notional
amount of the interest rate floors was $970 million and the strike prices were

principal-only swap agreements with a notional amount of $99 million.

stated interest rates of 5.78% and 5.90%, respectively. The underlying

party securities dealers. These dealers may have loaned the securities to other
parties in the normal course of their operations, but all agreements require
the dealers to resell to California Federal the identical securities at the
maturities of the agreements. The average daily balance of securities sold
under agreements to repurchase was $2.5 billion and $2.1 billion during 1997
and 1996, respectively, and the maximum amount outstanding at any month-end

</TABLE>

     The Bank uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge against interest rate
risk inherent in its FHLB advances. Under the agreements, the Bank receives or
makes payments based on the differential between fixed-rate and variable-rate
interest amounts on the notional amount of the agreement. The notional amounts
of these derivatives do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and
thus, are not a measure of the Bank's exposure through its use of derivatives.
The Bank pays the variable-rate and receives the fixed-rate under these
agreements. The variable interest rates presented in the tables above are based
on LIBOR. The current LIBOR rates have been assumed implicitly, in the
aforementioned weighted average receive rate, to remain constant throughout the
term of the respective swaps. Any changes in LIBOR interest rates would affect
the variable-rate information disclosed above.

     The Bank is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties to these agreements but does not expect
any counterparties to fail their obligations. The Bank deals only with national
investment banking firms and the FHLB of San Francisco.


22. SEGMENT REPORTING

     The Company's operations include two primary business segments: mortgage
lending and retail banking. The Company's principal business consists of
operating retail deposit branches and originating and/or purchasing residential
real estate loans. The Company's mortgage lending activities are conducted

     The Company typically reviews the results of operations for the mortgage
banking segment based on that segment's contribution as opposed to its income
before income taxes, extraordinary item and minority interest. The main
difference between the two measures of profitability are that contribution for
the mortgage lending segment includes custodial earnings that are reported in
the retail banking segment when computing net income and that intercompany
interest expense is computed using an internal cost of funds rate instead of a
market rate. The mortgage lending segment's contribution for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $35.9 million, $54.9 million and $24.5
million, respectively.

24. MINORITY INTEREST AND STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY


 (a) 11 1/2% Preferred Stock

     In connection with the FN Acquisition, California Federal issued 3,007,300
shares of its 11 1/2% noncumulative perpetual preferred stock ("11 1/2%
Preferred Stock") with a par value of $.01 per share, having a liquidation
preference of $300.7 million. This stock has a stated liquidation value of $100
per share. Costs related to the 11 1/2% Preferred Stock issuance were deducted
from additional paid-in capital. At or after September 1, 1999, the 11 1/2%
Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Bank, in whole or in part,
at $105.75 per share prior to September 1, 2000, and at prices which will
decrease annually thereafter to the stated liquidation value of $100 per share
on or after September 1, 2004, plus declared but unpaid dividends. Dividends
are payable quarterly at an annual rate of 11.50% per share when declared by
the Bank's Board of Directors. Dividends paid on the 11 1/2% Preferred Stock
for each year during 1997 and 1996 totalled $34.6 million.


 (b) 10 5/8% Preferred Stock

     In connection with the Cal Fed Acquisition, California Federal assumed Cal
Fed's 10 5/8% preferred stock with liquidation value of $172.5 million (the "10
5/8% Preferred Stock" and, together with the 11 1/2% Preferred Stock, "Bank
Preferred Stock"). The 10 5/8% Preferred Stock resulted in a $172.5 million
increase in the Bank's stockholders' equity. Cash dividends on the 10 5/8%
Preferred Stock are noncumulative and are payable at an annual rate of 10 5/8%
per share if, when, and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Bank. The
10 5/8% Preferred Stock is generally not redeemable prior to April 1, 1999. The

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
10 5/8% Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Bank, in whole or in
part, at $105.313 per share on or after April 1, 1999 and prior to April 1,
2000, and at prices decreasing annually thereafter to the liquidation
preference of $100.00 per share on or after April 1, 2003, plus declared but
unpaid dividends. In addition, in the event of a change of control, the 10 5/8%
Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Bank or its successor on or
after April 1, 1996 and prior to April 1, 1999 in whole, but not in part, at
$114.50 per share. Dividends paid on the 10 5/8% Preferred Stock during 1997
were $18.3 million.


 (c) REIT Preferred Stock

     On January 31, 1997, Preferred Capital Corp. issued 20,000,000 shares of
the REIT Preferred Stock for $500 million. The REIT Preferred Stock has a
stated liquidation value of $25 per share, plus declared and unpaid dividends,
if any. The annual cash dividends on the 20,000,000 shares of REIT Preferred
Stock, assuming such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors of
Preferred Capital Corp., are expected to approximate $45.6 million per year. As
long as Preferred Capital Corp. qualifies as a REIT, distributions on the REIT
Preferred Stock will be a dividends-paid deduction by Preferred Capital Corp.
for tax purposes. Dividends paid on the REIT Preferred Stock during 1997 were
$36.6 million, net of the income tax benefit.


 (d) Hunter's Glen

     Minority interest--Hunter's Glen represents that portion of stockholders'
equity of FN Holdings attributable to its class B common stock, which is owned
by a limited partnership controlled by the Bank's Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer.


 (e) FN Holdings Preferred Stock

     On September 19, 1996, FN Holdings issued 10,000 shares of preferred stock
("FN Holdings Preferred Stock") with a liquidation value of $150 million to a
corporation owned by the Chairman of the Board of the Bank, ("Special Purpose
Corp."). Cash dividends on the FN Holdings Preferred Stock are cumulative and
are payable: (i) in cash at an annual rate of the cost of funds to an affiliate
of FN Holdings under such affiliate's bank credit facility (the "Cost of Funds
Rate") and (ii) in newly issued shares of another series of cumulative
perpetual preferred stock of FN Holdings ("Additional FN Holdings Preferred
Stock") at an annual rate of 2% of the stated liquidation value of the FN
Holdings Preferred Stock, if, when, and as declared by the Board of Directors
of FN Holdings. Dividends on the Additional FN Holdings Preferred Stock are
cumulative and accrue and are payable in shares of Additional FN Holdings
Preferred Stock at an annual rate equal to the Cost of Funds Rate plus 2% of
the stated liquidation value of the Additional FN Holdings Preferred Stock if,
when and as declared by the Board of Directors of FN Holdings. Additional FN
Holdings Preferred Stock will have substantially the same relative rights,
terms and preferences as the FN Holdings Preferred Stock except as set forth
above with respect to the payment of dividends. Dividends on the FN Holdings
Preferred Stock are payable quarterly each year, commencing January 1, 1997,
out of funds legally available therefor. In addition, the payment of dividends
by FN Holdings is subject to certain federal laws applicable to savings and
loan holding companies. The FN Holdings Preferred Stock ranks prior to the
common stock of FN Holdings and to all other classes and series of equity
securities subsequently issued.

     The FN Holdings Preferred Stock and the Additional FN Holdings Preferred
Stock are redeemable so long as Special Purpose Corp. is the sole holder
thereof, at any time, and, if Special Purpose Corp. is not the sole holder
thereof, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the FN
Holdings Preferred Stock, in each case, upon prior written notice, at the
option of FN Holdings, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the
stated liquidation value of $15,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid
dividends. Upon the redemption of the FN Holdings Preferred Stock by FN
Holdings, all outstanding shares of the Additional FN Holdings Preferred Stock
will be contributed to the capital of FN Holdings, without any payment
therefor, and such shares will be retired and canceled.

 (f) Common Stock

     In connection with the FN Acquisition and the offering of the 12 1/4%
Senior Notes, First Gibraltar Holdings incorporated Parent Holdings and FN
Holdings to hold 100% of the common stock of First Nationwide. First Gibraltar
Holdings contributed all of its shares of capital stock of the Bank to Parent
Holdings, which contributed such shares to FN Holdings in exchange for 1,000
shares of common stock of FN Holdings.

     In 1994, FN Holdings amended its certificate of incorporation to create
800 shares of class A common stock having one vote per share, 200 shares of
class B common stock having .75 votes per share, and 230.3 shares of nonvoting
class C common stock. Parent Holdings exchanged its 1,000 shares of common
stock of FN Holdings for 800 shares of class A common stock.

     Pursuant to the terms of an exchange agreement between FN Holdings, the
Bank's Chairman and Parent Holdings (the "Exchange Agreement"), and in
connection with the consummation of the FN Acquisition, FN Holdings issued 100%
of its class C common stock to Parent Holdings for approximately $210.3
million, and the Bank's Chairman acquired 100% of the class B common stock of
FN Holdings in exchange for his 6.25% of the class A common stock of First
Gibraltar Holdings.

     As a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Exchange Agreement, the Bank's Chairman owns 100% of the class B common stock
of FN Holdings, representing 20% of its voting common stock (representing
approximately 15% of the voting power of its common stock), and Parent Holdings
owns (i) 100% of the class A common stock of FN Holdings, representing 80% of
its voting common stock (representing approximately 85% of the voting power of
its common stock) and (ii) 100% of the class C common stock of FN Holdings. The
class C common stock was redeemed out of distributions from the Bank for $230.3
million plus accrued interest during 1995 and 1996. On December 29, 1995, the
Bank's Chairman transferred his shares of class B common stock to a limited
partnership, Hunter's Glen/Ford Ltd. ("Hunter's Glen"), over which he maintains
control.

     There were no dividends or distributions on common stock in 1997.
Dividends and distributions on the Company's common stock during 1996 and 1995
totalled $636,504 and $89,986, respectively.


 (g) Payment of Dividends

     The terms of the 12 1/2% Senior Notes indenture generally will permit the
Company to make distributions of up to 65% of the consolidated net income of
the Company if, after giving effect to such distribution, (i) the Bank is "well
capitalized" under applicable OTS regulations and (ii) the Consolidated Common
Shareholders' Equity (as defined therein) of the Bank is at least equal to the
Minimum Common Equity Amount (as defined therein). The terms of the 9 1/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes indenture and the 12 1/4% Senior Notes indenture
apply similar restrictions except FN Holdings can make distributions of up to
75% of the consolidated net income of FN Holdings. The Federal thrift laws and
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") limit the Bank's
ability to pay dividends on its preferred or common stock. The Bank generally
may not pay dividends without the consent of the OTS if, after the payment of
the dividends, it would not be deemed "adequately capitalized" under the prompt
corrective action standards of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991.

     As of December 31, 1997, the Bank could pay dividends of $502.4 million
without the consent of the OTS and it could pay dividends of $153.8 million and
still be "well capitalized." As of December 31, 1997, FN Holdings and the
Company could pay dividends of $254.0 million and $168.2 million, respectively,
without violating the most restrictive terms of their respective indentures.


25. REGULATORY CAPITAL OF THE BANK

     The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly


                                       44
<PAGE>

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
additional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have
a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's consolidated financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulation to insure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of tangible and leverage capital to adjusted total assets, and of Tier 1
and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets. Management believes, as
of December 31, 1997, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to
which it is subject.

     As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the most recent notification from the
OTS categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must
maintain minimum leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based ratios as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since the most recent
notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

     The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 1997 and
1996 are also presented in the table (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>

     The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended
December 31, 1997 was an increase of $74.0 million which is attributable to
income before income taxes and minority interest.

     Based on a historical earnings trend since the consummation of the FN
Acquisition and future earnings expectations, management changed its judgment
about the realizability of the Company's net deferred tax assets and recognized
a deferred tax benefit (i.e., reduced valuation allowance) of $125.0 million in
the second quarter of 1996 and $69.0 million in the fourth quarter of 1995.
Management believes that the realization of the resulting deferred tax asset is
more likely than not, based upon the expectation that the Company will generate
the necessary amount of taxable income in future periods.

     At December 31, 1997, if the Company had filed a consolidated federal
income tax return on behalf of itself (as common parent), and its subsidiaries
for each year since the formation of the Company, it would have had regular and
alternative minimum tax net operating losses for federal income tax purposes of
approximately $2.1 billion and $878 million, respectively, which expire in 2004
through 2010.

carryovers of the Company not already

utilized by the Mafco Group would be available to offset the taxable income
subsequent to the date of deconsolidation. If the Company had deconsolidated as
of December 31, 1997, the Company would have had approximately $970 million of
regular net operating loss carryforwards. It cannot be predicted to what extent
the Mafco Group will utilize the net operating losses of the Company in the
future or the amount, if any, of net operating loss carryforwards that the
Company may have upon deconsolidation. Additionally, the net operating loss
carryovers are subject to review and potential disallowance, in whole or in
part, by the Internal Revenue Service.

     On August 20, 1996, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the
"Act") was enacted into law generally effective for tax years beginning after
1995. One provision of the Act repealed the Section 593 reserve method of
accounting for bad debts by thrift institutions which are treated as large
banks. Another provision of the Act requires the Company to take into income
the balance of its post-1987 bad debt reserves over a six year period beginning
in 1996 subject to a two-year deferral if certain residential loan tests are
satisfied. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $279 million
of post-1987 bad debt reserves that are subject to recapture. The Company has
fully provided for the tax related to this recapture.

     In accordance with SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," a deferred
tax liability has not been recognized for the base year reserves of the
Company. The base year reserves are generally the balance of the tax bad debt
reserve as of December 31, 1987 reduced proportionately for reductions in the
Company's loan portfolio since that date. At December 31, 1997, the amount of
those reserves was approximately $152 million. The amount of the unrecognized
deferred tax liability at December 31, 1997 was approximately $53 million.
Pursuant to the Act, circumstances that may require an accrual of this
unrecorded tax liability are a failure to meet the definition of a "bank" for
federal income tax purposes, dividend payments in excess of tax earnings and
profits, and other distributions, dissolution, liquidation or redemption of
stock, excluding preferred stock meeting certain conditions.


28. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 Post-retirement Benefits Plan

     The Bank provides certain post-retirement medical benefits to certain
eligible employees and their dependents through age 65. In general, early
retirement is age 55 with 10 years of service. Retirees participating in the
plans generally pay Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reduction Act premiums for the
period of time they participate.

     The estimated cost for post-retirement health care benefits has been
accrued on an actuarial net present value basis.

     The following table sets forth the plans' combined liabilities included in
the Bank's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in
thousands):

</TABLE>

     The projected benefit obligation at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was
determined using a discount rate of 7.5%. At December 31, 1997, an increase of
1% in the health care cost trend rate would cause the accumulated
post-retirement benefit obligation to increase by $.4 million, and the service
and interest costs to increase by less than $.1 million.

     The initial health care cost trend rate for medical benefits in 1997 was
9%, the average trend rate was 7.25% and the ultimate trend rate was 5.5%,
which will be reached in eight years. Similar trend rates were utilized for the
1996 valuation.

     In connection with the SFFed Acquisition, the Bank assumed SFFed's defined
benefit pension plan which covered substantially all employees of San Francisco
Federal. The SFFed benefit plan was frozen effective September 30, 1995 and no
additional benefits accrued after such time.

     In the Cal Fed Acquisition, the Bank assumed sponsorship of the Old
California Federal defined benefit plan which was frozen effective May 31, 1993
and at which time, all accrued benefits became 100% vested. Effective April 30,
1997, the SFFed benefit plan was merged with and into the Old California
Federal benefit plan. The fair value of assets transferred was $23.6 million.

 Investment Plan

     The Bank offers a defined contribution plan which is available to
substantially all employees with at least one year of employment. Employee
contributions are voluntary. The plan provides for deferral of up to 12% of
qualifying compensation of plan participants. The Bank's matching contribution
was a maximum of 100% of up to the first 3% of employee deferrals. The annual
discretionary employer profit sharing contribution is a maximum of 3% of
eligible compensation. It can be declared at any level in the range from 0% to
3%. Employees vest immediately in their own deferrals and any employer profit
sharing contributions and vest in employer matching contributions based on
completed years of service. The Bank's contributions to such plan totalled $3.8
million, $2.3 million, and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

     During 1996, defined contribution plans assumed in the SFFed and Home
Federal Acquisitions were merged with and into Old FNB's defined contribution
plan. The fair value of assets transferred was $14.4 million.

     In the Cal Fed Acquisition, contributions made to Old California Federal's
defined contribution plan became 100% vested at the date of acquisition.
Effective December 31, 1997, the Old California Federal contribution plan was
merged with and into the Bank's plan. The fair value of assets transferred was
$33.6 million.


29. INCENTIVE PLAN

     Effective October 1, 1995, FN Holdings entered into a management incentive
plan ("Incentive Plan") with certain executive officers of the Bank
("Participants"). Awards under the Incentive Plan will be made in the form of
performance units. Each performance unit entitles Incentive Plan Participants
to receive cash and/or stock options ("Bonuses") based upon the Participants'
vested interest in a bonus pool. Generally, the Incentive Plan provides for the
payment of Bonuses, on a quarterly basis, to the Participants upon the
occurrence of certain events. Bonuses vest at 20% per year beginning October 1,
1995 and are subject to a cap of $50 million.

     Bonuses are recorded by a charge to compensation and employee benefits and
an increase to other liabilities. During 1997 and 1996, accruals relative to
the Incentive Plan totalled $12.4 million and $35.6 million, respectively.


30. SPECIAL SAIF ASSESSMENT

     On September 30, 1996, the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork
Reduction Act ("Act") of 1996 was enacted. The Act included a special
assessment ("Special SAIF Assessment") related to the recapitalization of the
SAIF, which was levied based on a rate of 65.7 cents per $100 of SAIF-insured
domestic deposits held as of March 31, 1995. As a result of the Act, the
Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $60.1 million on September 30, 1996. The
1997 SAIF deposit premiums declined to 6.42 cents per $100 of SAIF-insured
deposits per year from the prior rate of 23 cents.


31. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In the ordinary course of business the Company has commitments and
contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. The Company, through FNMC, enters into financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk through the origination and sale of
mortgage loans and the management of the related loss exposure caused by
fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments
to extend credit and purchase loans (mortgage loan pipeline) and mandatory and
optional forward commitments to sell loans.

<PAGE>

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     The following is a summary of the Company's pipeline of loans in process
and mandatory forward commitments to sell loans at December 31, 1997 (in
thousands):


       Commitments to originate and purchase loans .........  $1,718,729
       Mandatory commitments to sell loans .................   1,368,123

     The Company's pipeline of loans in process include loan applications in
various stages of processing. Until all required documentation is provided and
underwritten, there is no credit risk to the Company. There is no interest rate
risk until a rate commitment is extended by the Company to a borrower. Some of
these commitments will ultimately be denied by the Company or declined by the
borrower and therefore, the commitment amounts do not necessarily represent
future cash requirements.

     Loans in process for which rates were committed to the borrower totalled
approximately $691.7 million at December 31, 1997. On a daily basis, the
Company determines what percentage of the portfolio of loans in process for
which rate commitments have been extended to a borrower to hedge. Both the
anticipated percentage of the pipeline that is expected to fund and the
inherent risk position of the portfolio are considered in making this
determination.

     Mandatory and optional delivery forward commitments to sell loans are used
by the Company to hedge its interest rate exposure from the time a loan has a
committed rate to the time the loan is sold. These instruments involve varying
degrees of credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk on these instruments is
controlled through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. To the
extent that counterparties are not able to fulfill forward commitments, the
Company is at risk for any fluctuations in the market value of the mortgage
loans and locked pipeline.

     Realized gains and losses on mandatory and optional-delivery forward
commitments are recognized in the period settlement occurs. Unrealized gain and
losses on mandatory and optional-delivery forward commitments are included in
the lower of cost or market valuation adjustment to mortgage loans held for
sale.

     On September 28, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with FNMA
pursuant to which FNMA provided credit enhancements for certain bond-financed
real estate projects originated by Old FNB. The agreement requires that the
Company pledge to FNMA collateral in the form of certain eligible securities
which are held by a third party trustee. The collateral requirement varies
based on the balance of the bonds outstanding, losses incurred (if any), as
well as other factors. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had pledged
as collateral certain securities available for sale with a carrying value of
$78.2 million and $91.6 million.

     At December 31, 1997 and 1996, mortgage-backed securities available for
sale with a carrying value of $28.8 million and $33.4 million, respectively,
were pledged to FNMA associated with the sales of certain securitized
multi-family loans.

     At December 31, 1997, mortgage-backed securities available for sale and
mortgage-backed securities held to maturity of $4.1 billion and $1.3 billion,
respectively, were pledged as collateral for various obligations as discussed
in notes 8, 9, 19 and 20. At December 31, 1996, mortgage-backed securities
available for sale and mortgage-backed securities held to maturity of $936.2
million and $1.4 billion, respectively, were pledged as collateral for various
obligations.

     At December 31, 1997, $11.2 billion in residential loans were pledged as
collateral for FHLB advances.

     At December 31, 1997 and 1996, loans receivable included approximately
$7.5 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, of loans that had the potential to
experience negative amortization.

     The Bank is the plaintiff in a claim against the United States in the
lawsuit, California Federal Bank v. United States (the "Cal Fed Litigation"),
which it assumed in the Cal Fed Acquisition. In connection

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
with this lawsuit, the Company recorded as an asset the estimated after-tax
cash recovery from the Cal Fed Litigation that will inure to the Company, net
of amounts payable to holders of certain publicly-traded rights in any such
recovery (the "Goodwill Litigation Asset"). In connection with the Cal Fed
Acquisition, the Goodwill Litigation Asset was recorded at its estimated fair
value of $100 million, net of estimated tax liabilities, as of January 3, 1997,
and is included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1997.

     In addition, the Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits
arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that
the effect, if any, of these claims and lawsuits is not material to the
Company.

     The following summary presents a description of the methodologies and
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company's financial
instruments. Much of the information used to determine

fair value is highly subjective. When applicable, readily available market
information has been utilized. However, for a significant portion of the
Company's financial instruments, active markets do not exist. Therefore,
considerable judgment was required in estimating fair value for certain items.
The subjective factors include, among other things, the estimated timing and
amount of cash flows, risk characteristics, and interest rates, all of which
are subject to changes.

     Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents are valued at their
carrying amounts included in the consolidated statement of financial condition,
which are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period
to maturity of the instruments.

     Securities and mortgage-backed securities: Securities and mortgage-backed
securities are valued at quoted market prices where available. If quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of
comparable instruments.

     Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are valued based on quoted market
prices for mortgage-backed securities backed by similar loans.

     Loans receivable, net: Fair values are estimated for loans in groups with
similar financial and risk characteristics. Loans are segregated by type
including residential, multi-family and commercial. Each loan type is further
segmented into fixed and variable interest rate terms and by performing and
non-performing categories in order to estimate fair values.

     For performing residential mortgage loans, fair value is estimated by
discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates using
discount rates based on secondary market sources. The fair value of performing
commercial and multi-family loans is calculated by discounting scheduled
principal and interest cash flows through the estimated maturity using
estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk
inherent in the respective loan type.

     Fair value for non-performing loans is based on discounting estimated cash
flows using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated
cash flows, or underlying collateral values, where appropriate.

     Investment in FHLB: Since no secondary market exists for FHLB stock and
the stock is bought and sold at par by FHLB, fair value of these financial
instruments approximates the carrying value.

     Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate
their fair values.

     Mortgage servicing rights: The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is
based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when
available, or alternatively a valuation model that calculates the present value
of future net servicing income. In using the valuation model, the Company
incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating
future net servicing income, which include estimates of the cost of servicing,
the discount rate, mortgage escrow earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary
income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.

     Deposits: The fair values of demand deposits, passbook accounts, money
market accounts, and other deposits immediately withdrawable, by definition,
approximate carrying values for the respective financial instruments. For fixed
maturity deposits, the fair value was estimated by discounting expected cash
flows by the current offering rates of deposits with similar terms and
maturities.

     Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The fair value of
securities sold under agreements to repurchase is estimated using a discounted
cash flow analysis based on interest rates currently offered on such repurchase
agreements with similar maturities.

     Borrowings: The fair value of borrowings, other than FHLB advances, is
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current incremental
rates for similar borrowing arrangements. The fair values of FHLB advances are
estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
currently offered on advances with similar maturities. Fair values of the
Company's interest rate swap agreements, which effectively hedge certain of the
Company's FHLB advances, are based on the net present value of the estimated
interest due to the Company as compared to the estimated interest due to the
counterparties of the agreements.


     Off-balance sheet financial instruments: Fair values of the Company's
commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to
enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For
fixed-rate commitments, fair value also considers the difference between
current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. Fair values of
forward commitments to sell loans are determined using current estimated
replacement costs. Fair values of the Company's floors are based on quoted
market prices for comparable floors. To calculate the value of the
principal-only swaps, dealer bids are obtained on the underlying principal-only
swaps. The change in the market price of a principal-only swap from the date of
inception to the termination date is applied to the remaining principal-only
swap.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 Golden State Merger


     On February 4, 1998, Parent Holdings, and Hunter's Glen entered into a
definitive merger agreement ("Golden State Merger Agreement") with Golden State
Bancorp Inc. ("Golden State"), the publicly traded parent company of Glendale
Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank ("Glendale Federal"), pursuant to which
Parent Holdings, Hunter's Glen and Golden State agreed to a tax-free exchange
of shares in a merger transaction (the "Golden State Merger"). Following the
Golden State Merger, the combined parent company, Golden State, will have 135
to 145 million common shares outstanding and will continue to be a publicly
traded company. As part of the Golden State Merger Agreement, Glendale Federal
will be merged with and into California Federal.


     The terms of the Golden State Merger Agreement provide for Golden State
shareholders to retain ownership of approximately 55% to 58% of the merged
entity, based on the average trading price of Golden State shares during a
period preceding the close of the transaction, as determined after distribution
of Golden State's share of certain litigation interests. The remaining
ownership of the merged entity will be retained by the principal shareholders
of California Federal, Gerald J. Ford, chairman and chief executive officer of
the Bank, and MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. As part of the Golden State
Merger Agreement, the owners of Parent Holdings will receive, after a final
resolution of the Cal Fed Litigation, additional Golden State stock.


     The Golden State Merger will be accounted for as a purchase. Golden
State's assets, liabilities and other items will be adjusted to their estimated
fair value at the closing date of the merger.


     As a result of the Golden State Merger, Parent Holdings and its
subsidiaries will deconsolidate from the Mafco Group. Therefore, the amount of
net operating loss carryovers available to offset the taxable income of Parent
Holdings and its subsidiaries will be reduced. See note 27.


     As of December 31, 1997, Glendale Federal had total assets of
approximately $16.0 billion and deposits of $9.5 billion, and operated 181
branches and 26 loan offices in California. During 1997, Golden State entered
into agreements to acquire RedFed Bancorp Inc. ("RedFed") and its federal
savings bank subsidiary, Redlands Federal Bank, in a tax-free stock-for-stock
merger, and CENFED Financial Corporation ("CENFED") and its federal savings
bank subsidiary, CenFed Bank, in a tax-free exchange of shares. At December 31,
1997, RedFed and CENFED had total assets of approximately $1.0 billion and $2.2
billion, respectively, and deposits of $.8 billion and $1.2 billion,
respectively. On a pro forma basis at December 31, 1997, Golden State would
have consolidated assets of $19.2 billion and deposits of $11.9 billion.
Further, on a pro forma basis, the merged entities (including RedFed and CENFED
would have consolidated assets of $51.9 billion and deposits of $28.1 billion
at December 31, 1997.


     The Golden State Merger is subject to regulatory and stockholder approval
and is expected to close during the third quarter of 1998.

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying consolidated 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 six months ended June 30, 1998 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc. ("Parent Holdings" or the "Company"),
which owns directly 80% of the voting stock of First Nationwide Holdings Inc.
("FN Holdings"), which owns all of the common stock of California Federal Bank,
A Federal Savings Bank and its subsidiaries. On January 3, 1997, First
Nationwide Bank, A Federal Savings Bank merged with and into California Federal
Bank, A Federal Savings Bank (the "Cal Fed Acquisition"). Unless the context
otherwise indicates, (i) "Old California Federal" refers to California Federal
Bank, A Federal Savings Bank prior to the consummation of the Cal Fed
Acquisition and (ii) "California Federal" or "Bank" refers to California
Federal Bank, A Federal Savings Bank, as the surviving entity after the
consummation of the Cal Fed Acquisition, and to First Nationwide and its
predecessors for periods prior to the Cal Fed Acquisition. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1997. All terms used but not defined elsewhere
herein have meanings ascribed to them in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K.

     Minority interest represents amounts attributable to (i) the Bank
Preferred Stock, (ii) the preferred stock of FN Holdings, (iii) the preferred
stock ("REIT Preferred Stock") of California Federal Preferred Capital
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, (iv) that portion of
stockholder's equity of Auto One Acceptance Corporation, a subsidiary of the
Bank ("Auto One"), attributable to 20% of its common stock, and (v) the results
of operations and equity of FN Holdings attributable to its class B common
stock, which is owned by Hunter's Glen/Ford Ltd. ("Hunter's Glen").

     Earnings per share data is not presented due to the limited ownership of
the Company. Parent Holdings is a holding company whose only significant asset
is its indirect ownership of 80% of the common stock of the Bank, and therefore
all activities for the consolidated entity are carried out by the Bank and its
operating subsidiaries.


(2)  ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

     On February 4, 1998, Auto One acquired 100% of the partnership interests
in Gulf States Acceptance Company, a Delaware limited partnership ("GSAC") and
its general partner, Gulf States Financial Services, Inc., a Texas corporation.
GSAC was liquidated and its assets and liabilities were transferred to Auto One
(the "GSAC Acquisition"). The aggregate consideration paid in connection with
the GSAC Acquisition was approximately $13.6 million plus a 20% interest in the
common stock of Auto One.

     On February 4, 1998, Parent Holdings and Hunter's Glen entered into a
definitive merger agreement ("Golden State Merger Agreement") with Golden State
Bancorp Inc. ("Golden State"), the publicly traded parent company of Glendale
Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank ("Glendale Federal"), pursuant to which,
Parent Holdings, Hunter's Glen and Golden State agreed to a tax-free exchange
of shares in a merger transaction (the "Golden State Merger"), to be accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting. In connection with the execution
of the Golden State Merger Agreement, Golden State,

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

       NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
Glendale Federal, the Bank, Stephen J. Trafton, Chairman of the Board,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Golden State and Richard A. Fink, Vice
Chairman of Golden State, entered into a Litigation Management Agreement
("Litigation Management Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things,
Messrs. Trafton and Fink will oversee and manage the California Federal
Litigation (hereinafter defined) and continue to oversee and manage similar
litigation being prosecuted by Glendale Federal, following the consummation of
the Golden State Merger. Following the Golden State Merger, the combined parent
company, Golden State, will have approximately 135 to 145 million common shares
outstanding and will continue to be a publicly traded company. As part of the
Golden State Merger Agreement, Glendale Federal will be merged with and into
the Bank. At March 31, 1998, Glendale Federal had total assets of approximately
$15.9 billion and deposits of $9.7 billion and operated 181 branches and 26
loan offices in California. The Golden State Merger is subject to regulatory
and stockholder approval and is expected to close during the third quarter of
1998.

     On March 29, 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its
Florida bank franchise (consisting of 24 branches with deposits of $1.5
billion) to Union Planters Bank of Florida, a wholly owned subsidiary of Union
Planters Corp. (the "Florida Branch Sale"). The Company expects to record a
pre-tax gain of approximately $110 million in connection with the Florida
Branch Sale, representing a deposit premium of approximately 7.5%. On June 2,
1998, the Company received regulatory approval for this transaction, which is
expected to close during the third quarter of 1998.


(3)  CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

     The Company uses the indirect method to present cash flows from operating
activities. Cash paid for interest for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 was $775.7 million and $706.1 million, respectively.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, noncash activity consisted of
transfers of $62.4 million from loans receivable to foreclosed real estate,
$5.5 million of loans made to facilitate sales of real estate owned and
transfers of $3.2 million from loans held for sale (at lower of cost or market)
to mortgage-backed securities classified as trading securities upon the
securitization of certain of the Bank's single-family loans. Noncash activity
also includes the retirement of preferred stock of $.8 million, the issuance of
additional preferred stock through preferred stock dividends of $.1 million and
dividends to parent of $2.7 million.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1997, noncash activity consisted of
transfers of $86.8 million from loans receivable and $1.2 million from loans
held for sale (at lower of cost or market) to foreclosed real estate, $21.6
million of loans made to facilitate sales of real estate owned, the issuance of
additional preferred stock through preferred stock dividends of $1.4 million
and the forgiveness of a $19 million loan from an affiliate of FN Holdings in
exchange for the redemption of the FN Holdings/FN Escrow Preferred Stock.


(4)  MINORITY INTEREST

     In connection with the GSAC Acquisition, Auto One issued 250 shares of its
common stock, par value $1.00 per share, representing a 20% interest in Auto
One. The carrying value of Auto One's common stockholders' equity attributable
to the minority stockholders at June 30, 1998 is ($.2) million.


(5)  NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public
business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual
financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about


                                       8
<PAGE>

           FIRST NATIONWIDE (PARENT) HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

       NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. SFAS
No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas, and major customers. This statement supersedes FASB
Statement No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise,
but retains the requirement to report information about major customers. It
amends FASB Statement No. 94, Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries,
to remove the special disclosure requirements for previously unconsolidated
subsidiaries. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative information
for earlier years is to be restated. This statement need not be applied to
interim financial statements in the initial year of application, but
comparative information for interim periods in the initial year of application
is to be reported in financial statements for interim periods in the second
year of application. 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.

     In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS No. 132"), an amendment of FASB Statements No.
87, No. 88 and No. 106. SFAS No. 132 revises employers' disclosures about
pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the
measurement or recognition of those plans. It standardizes the disclosure
requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent
practicable, requires additional information on changes in the benefit
obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate financial
analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures that are no longer useful as they
were when FASB Statements No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, No. 88,
Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and No. 106, Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, were issued. SFAS No. 132 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires
restatement of disclosures for earlier periods provided for comparative
purposes, if available. It is not expected that the Company will experience any
material revision in its disclosures when SFAS No. 132 is adopted.

     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 FASB Statement 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. Management has not yet completed its analysis of
SFAS No. 133 and is unable to determine the effect, if any, implementation may
have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

(6)  SUBSEQUENT EVENT


     On August 6, 1998, GS Escrow Corp. ("GS Escrow") issued $2 billion in debt
securities ("GS Escrow Notes"). The GS Escrow Notes were issued to fund a
series of refinancing transactions described below. Upon consummation of the
Golden State Merger and the refinancing transactions, GS Escrow will be merged
(the "GS Escrow Merger") with and into Golden State Holdings Inc. ("GS
Holdings"), which is currently named New First Nationwide Holdings Inc. ("New
FN Holdings") and is a newly formed subsidiary of FN Holdings. Upon
consummation of the Golden State Merger and the GS Escrow Merger, the GS Escrow
Notes will be obligations of New FN Holdings. GS Holdings was formed to acquire
all of the assets of FN Holdings (including all of the common stock of the
Bank) as part of the Golden State Merger.


     Prior to the consummation of the Golden State Merger, (i) FN Holdings (or
an affiliate other than GS Escrow) is expected to commence cash tender offers
and consent solicitations (collectively, the "Debt Tender Offers") for each of
its three outstanding series of long-term notes (the "FN Holdings Notes") which
together have a total aggregate principal balance of $915 million; and (ii) FN
Holdings (or an affiliate other than GS Escrow Corp.) is expected to commence
cash tender offers (the "Bank Preferred Stock Tender Offers") for each of the
Bank's two outstanding series of preferred stock which together have a total
aggregate liquidation preference of $473.2 million.


     The Debt Tender Offers and Bank Preferred Stock Tender Offers are expected
to close subsequent to the closing of the Golden State Merger.


     After the closing of the Golden State Merger and concurrently with the
closings of the Debt Tender Offers, Golden State Financial Corporation (an
entity that will own 100% of the common stock of GS Holdings following the
consummation of the Golden State Merger), as the successor obligor, is expected
to give a 30-day notice of redemption for all of the outstanding $455 million
aggregate principal amount of 12 1/2% Senior Notes Due 2003 of Parent Holdings
(the "Parent Holdings Notes"), and to irrevocably deposit in trust money or
government obligations in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price
therefor, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
redemption, for the purpose of defeasing the Parent Holdings Notes (the "Parent
Holdings Defeasance").


     The Debt Tender Offers, the Bank Preferred Stock Tender Offers and the
Parent Holdings Defeasance will be financed with the net proceeds from the
offering of the GS Escrow Notes and, to the extent required, a cash dividend
from the Bank.


     There can be no assurance that all of the outstanding FN Holdings Notes
will be tendered to and purchased by FN Holdings in the Debt Tender Offers. Any
FN Holdings 12 1/4% Senior Notes that remain outstanding after the consummation
of the Debt Tender Offers will rank pari passu with the GS Escrow Notes and any
FN Holdings 9c% Senior Subordinated Notes or FN Holdings 10e% Senior
Subordinated Notes that remain outstanding after the consummation of the Debt
Tender Offers will be subordinated in right of payment to the GS Escrow Notes.


     It is not expected that all of the Bank Preferred Stock will be purchased
in the Bank Preferred Stock Tender Offers. FN Holdings expects to purchase any
outstanding Bank Preferred Stock not acquired in the Bank Preferred Stock
Tender Offers once it becomes redeemable (April 1, 1999 in the case of the 
10 5/8% Preferred Stock and September 1, 1999 in the case of the 11 1/2% 
Preferred Stock).

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors
Golden State Financial Corporation


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of Golden State Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company)
as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended June 30, 1998. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.


     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.


     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Golden
State Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998 and 1997 and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended June 30, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

              GOLDEN STATE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996


NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND
                            REPORTING POLICIES


 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Golden State
Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Golden State Financial" or the
"Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation, including 200,686 common shares of Glendale
Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank ("Glendale Federal" or the "Bank") held by a
subsidiary of the Bank at June 30, 1998. Certain reclassifications have been
made to prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the June
30, 1998 presentation.

     On November 26, 1997, Golden State Financial was formed as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Golden State Bancorp Inc. ("Golden State") for the purpose of
becoming an intermediate holding company to effect the acquisition of CENFED
Financial Corporation ("CENFED"), the parent company of CenFed Bank, A Federal
Savings Bank ("CenFed Bank"). CENFED was merged with and into Golden State
Financial on April 21, 1998, with Golden State Financial as the surviving
entity in the merger. On May 8, 1998, Golden State Bancorp contributed its
shares of Glendale Federal to Golden State Financial and CenFed Bank was merged
into Glendale Federal, with Glendale Federal as the surviving entity. The
acquisition of Glendale Federal was accounted for in a manner similar to a
pooling-of-interest as required under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
16, "Business Combinations". Therefore, the historical information presented,
prior to November 26, 1997, is that of Glendale Federal.

     Golden State has no significant assets or business other than its
ownership of Golden State Financial, and Golden State Financial has no
significant assets or business other than its ownership of Glendale Federal.
The Bank's business consists primarily of attracting checking and savings
deposits from the public; originating real estate, business and consumer loans;
and purchasing loans secured by mortgages on residential real estate. The Bank,
through its subsidiaries, also provides general insurance and securities
brokerage services.


 RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

     In the normal course of its business, the Company encounters two
significant types of risk: economic risk and regulatory risk. There are four
main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk
and concentrations of credit risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk
to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at
different speeds, or on different bases, than its interest-earning assets.
Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company's loan portfolio that results
from borrowers' inability or unwillingness to make contractually required
payments. Market risk refers to the risk of decline in the value of collateral
underlying loans receivable and the value of real estate held by the Company,
and in the valuation of loans held for sale, mortgage-backed securities
available for sale and mortgage servicing assets. Concentration of credit risk
refers to the risk that, if the Company extends a significant portion of its
total outstanding credit to borrowers in a specific geographical area or
industry or on the security of a specific form of collateral, the Company may
experience disproportionately high levels of default and losses if those
borrowers, or the value of the type of collateral, is adversely affected by
factors that are particularly applicable to such borrowers or collateral. The
Company's lending activities are principally in California, with the largest
concentration of the Company's loan portfolio being secured by real estate
located in Southern California. The ability of the Company's borrowers to repay
amounts owed is dependent on several factors, including the economic conditions
in the borrower's geographic region and the borrower's financial condition. The
Company and the Bank are subject to the regulations of various government
agencies. Regulatory risk refers, among other things, to the fact that these
regulations can and do change significantly from period to period. In addition,
the Bank undergoes periodic examinations by regulatory agencies, which may
subject it to further changes with respect to asset valuations, amounts of
required loss allowances and operating restrictions resulting from the
regulators' judgments based on information available to them at the time of
their examination.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
     The Company has had an ongoing program that was intended to ensure that
its operational and financial systems would not be adversely affected by Year
2000 data processing hardware and software failures arising from processing
errors involving calculations using the Year 2000 date. Enhancements to the
Company's mainframe systems have been implemented with completion of all
mission critical repairs having been scheduled for November 1998. The Company
has initiated renovation of its non-mainframe systems, with completion of all
but one mission critical system having been scheduled for December 1998 and the
one remaining mission critical system was to be completed in February 1999. The
Company halted further implementation of its own Year 2000 efforts as of August
20, 1998 after receiving both shareholder and Office of Thrift Supervision
approvals for the Cal Fed Merger. See Note 21: "Subsequent Events" for
additional information regarding the Cal Fed Merger. Future Year 2000
compliance will depend upon the ongoing systems that will be maintained by Cal
Fed. Expenses related to the Year 2000 enhancements amounted to $10.0 million
in fiscal 1998, compared to $0.3 million in fiscal 1997. The Company expected
to incur approximately $37 million on this project, including $2 million to $3
million on software and hardware expenditures, on its program to modify,
redevelop or replace its computer applications to try to make them "Year 2000"
compliant. Year 2000 compliance failures could result in additional expense to
the Company and significant disruption of its business.

     In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the
dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the periods covered,
including the allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing assets and the
realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ significantly
from those estimates and assumptions.


 SHORT-TERM HIGHLY LIQUID INVESTMENTS

     The Company's short-term highly liquid investments consist of federal
funds sold and assets purchased under agreements to resell. The Company invests
in these assets to maximize its return on liquid funds.

     Glendale Federal is required by the Federal Reserve System to maintain
non-interest earning cash reserves against certain of its transaction accounts
and term deposit accounts. At June 30, 1998 and 1997, the required reserves
totaled $92,688,000 and $61,892,000, respectively. Actual reserves totaled
$92,690,000 and $62,454,000 at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.


 INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

     The Company's investment in debt securities consists principally of U.S.
Treasury securities, obligations of municipalities and mortgage-backed
securities purchased by the Company or created when the Company exchanges pools
of loans for mortgage-backed securities ("securitized loans"). The Company
classifies its investment in debt and equity securities as held to maturity
securities, trading securities and available for sale securities, as
applicable.

     Securities are designated as held to maturity if the Company has the
positive intent and the ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to
maturity securities are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for the
amortization of any related net deferred origination costs and premiums or the
accretion of any related net deferred origination fees and discounts into
interest income using the interest method over the estimated remaining period
until maturity. Unrealized losses on held to maturity securities, reflecting a
decline in value judged by the Company to be other than temporary, are charged
to income and reported under the caption "Gain (loss) on sale of
mortgage-backed securities, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

     The Company classifies securities as available for sale when at the time
of purchase it determines that such securities may be sold at a future date or
if the Company does not have the positive intent or ability


                                      F-8

              GOLDEN STATE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
to hold such securities to maturity. Securities designated as available for
sale are recorded at fair value. Changes in the fair value of debt and equity
securities available for sale are included in shareholders' equity as
unrealized holding gains or losses net of the related tax effect. Unrealized
losses on available for sale securities reflecting a decline in value judged to
be other than temporary are charged to income in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations. Realized gains or losses on available for sale securities are
determined on the specific identification basis. Deferred net origination costs
or fees, and purchased premiums and discounts, are amortized and accreted to
interest income using the interest method over the estimated remaining period
until maturity.

     The Company classifies securities it intends to sell presently as trading
securities. Such securities are generally comprised of securities created by
the Company to facilitate the sale of loans originated and held for sale.
Trading securities are recorded at fair value, determined by the lesser of
quoted market prices for similar securities or commitment prices for those
securities under mandatory commitments to sell. Changes in fair value of debt
and equity securities are recognized in earnings in the period in which the
change occurs under the caption "Gain (loss) on sale of mortgage-backed
securities, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company held
no trading securities at June 30, 1998 and 1997.

     In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
issued implementation guidance for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities"
("SFAS 115"). The guidance caused the Company to reassess the appropriateness
of the classifications of its securities and account for resulting
reclassifications at fair value in accordance with SFAS 115. During the second
quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company, in accordance with the implementation
guidance, reclassified $2.8 billion of mortgage-backed securities from held to
maturity to available for sale. Pursuant to the transfer to available for sale
and the subsequent sale of $1.7 billion of CMOs, the Company recorded a pre-tax
loss on sale of mortgage-backed securities of $28.2 million during fiscal 1996.
See Note 6: "Mortgage-Backed Securities" for additional information.


 LOANS HELD FOR SALE

     The Company may designate certain of its loans receivable as being held
for sale. In determining the level of loans held for sale, the Company
considers whether such loans would be sold in response to liquidity needs,
asset/liability management requirements, regulatory capital needs and other
factors. The Company originates and/or purchases loans that meet certain yield
and other guidelines for its own portfolio. Such loans are designated as held
for investment at the time of origination or purchase based on a specific
identification method. Loans that do not meet such guidelines are designated as
held for sale.

     Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or market
value. Unrealized losses are recorded as a reduction in earnings and are
included under the caption "Gain (loss) on sale of loans, net" in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses from the sale
of loans receivable are computed under the specific identification method.


 ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount management deems
adequate to cover estimated inherent losses. In determining the allowance for
loan losses to be maintained, management evaluates many factors, including
management's judgment as to appropriate asset classifications, prevailing and
forecasted economic and market conditions, industry experience, historical loss
experience, loan portfolio composition, management's assessment of the
borrowers' ability to repay and repayment performance, and the fair value of
the underlying collateral.

     The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates
that are particularly susceptible to changes in the economic environment and
market conditions. Management believes that,


                                      F-9
<PAGE>

              GOLDEN STATE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, the allowance for loan losses is adequate based
on information currently available to it. Deterioration in the economies of the
Company's principal market areas could adversely impact the Company's loan
portfolios and increases in non-performing assets and higher charge-offs could
result. Such adverse effects could also require a larger allowance for loan
losses.

     The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current
information and events, it believes it is probable that the Company will be
unable to timely collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of
the loan agreement. Non-accrual income property loans, non-accrual
single-family loans or borrowing relationships with unpaid balances greater
than $500,000, non-accrual business banking loans with unpaid balances of
greater than $100,000, troubled debt restructurings, and certain performing
loans are measured individually for impairment. Loans not included in the
preceding categories are collectively measured for impairment. Specific
valuation allowances are established for impaired collateralized loans at the
difference between the loan amount and the fair value of the related
collateral, reduced by estimated selling costs, and for unsecured loans at
either the present value or the expected future cash flows from the loan,
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable
market price. Impairment losses are recognized through an increase in the
allowance for loan losses and a corresponding charge to the provision for loan
losses. Adjustments to impairment losses due to changes in the fair value of
the collateral properties for impaired loans are included in the provision for
loan losses. Impaired loans may be left on accrual status during the period the
Company is pursuing repayment of the loan. When an impaired loan is either
sold, transferred to REO or written down, any related valuation allowance is
charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans are placed on
non-accrual status at the point that either: (1) they become 90 days
delinquent; or (2) the Company determines the borrower is incapable of, or has
ceased efforts toward, continuing performance under the terms of the loan.

     Increases to the general allowance are charged to the provision for loan
losses. Specific valuation allowances are provided for when management
identifies a loan or a portion thereof as to which default is deemed probable.
Charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses are made when all, or a portion,
of the loan is confirmed as a loss based upon management's review of the loan
or through repossession of the underlying security or through a troubled debt
restructuring transaction. Recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are
credited to the allowance.


 TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS

     Loans whose terms are modified due to borrower difficulties in repaying
amounts owed under the loan's original terms are classified as Troubled Debt
Restructurings ("TDRs"). TDRs are reported as such based on whether the
restructuring was made at an interest rate equal to or greater than the rate
that the Company was willing to accept for loans presenting comparable credit
risk at the time of the restructuring for a loan of comparable risk and whether
the loan is impaired based on the terms of the restructuring agreement. Loans
that are restructured at rates greater than or equal to the rate the Company
was willing to accept at the time of restructuring and that are not impaired
based on the terms of the restructuring are reported as TDRs only in the year
of the restructuring. All other TDRs are reported in years following the
restructuring until repaid.


 INTEREST INCOME RECOGNITION--LOANS RECEIVABLE

     Interest income is accrued as it is earned. Loans are placed on
non-accrual status after being delinquent more than 90 days, or earlier if the
borrower is deemed by management to be unable to continue performance. When a
loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accrued but not received is
reversed. While a loan is on non-accrual status, interest is recognized only as
cash is received and if no portion of the loan's carrying value is classified
"Doubtful". Loans are returned to accrual status only


                                      F-10

              GOLDEN STATE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
when the loan is reinstated and ultimate collectibility of current interest is
no longer in doubt. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized based on
the loan's accrual and classification status as discussed above.

     Loan origination fees and direct origination costs are deferred at
origination and the net amounts deferred are accreted or amortized to interest
income over the contractual lives of the loans, using the interest method.
Accretion of discounts and net deferred origination fees and amortization of
premiums and net deferred origination costs is discontinued when loans are
placed on non-accrual status.


 GAINS AND LOSSES FROM SALE OF LOANS

     The Company sells whole mortgage loans and participations in mortgage
loans to institutional and private investors. Gains and losses resulting from
the sales of loans are determined on the specific identification method and
reflect the extent that the sales proceeds and the allocated fair value of any
retained interests exceed or are less than the Company's investment in the
loans (which includes the unpaid principal balance of the loans, unearned
discounts, premiums and deferred fees and costs at the time of sale). To the
extent sales of loans involve the sale of part of a loan or a pool of loans
with disproportionate credit or prepayment risks, the cost basis is allocated
based upon the relative fair market value of the portion sold to the portion
retained on the date of sale.

     In most cases, the Company sells loans and continues to service such loans
for the investor. During fiscal 1997, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights" ("SFAS 122"). SFAS 122 was superseded, for transactions recorded after
December 31, 1996, by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment
of Liabilities" ("SFAS 125"). Both SFAS 122 and SFAS 125 require, and the
Company recorded, the recognition of a servicing asset or liability and other
retained interests as an allocation of the carrying amount of the assets sold
between the asset sold and the servicing obligation and other retained
interests based on the relative fair value of the assets sold to the interests
retained. The resulting Mortgage Servicing Asset ("MSA") or liability is
amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing
income or loss. The Company evaluates the MSA for impairment or increased
obligation based on the MSA's fair value.

     The Company estimates fair values by discounting servicing asset cash
flows using discount and prepayment rates that it believes market participants
would use. The assets are summarized by risk attribute strata and a valuation
allowance is recorded as the sum of the impairment amounts for all strata with
impairment. For purposes of defining impairment strata, the Company groups
loans by interest rate, by whether the loan is government-insured, and by
whether the loan has a fixed or adjustable interest rate.

     If loans are sold with recourse, the estimated liability under the
recourse provision is provided for in the computation of the gain or loss. For
loan sales after December 31, 1996, in accordance with the requirements of SFAS
125 (described under the caption "Current Accounting Pronouncements",
following), the liability for loans sold with recourse is recorded at the fair
value of the liability. For loan sales through December 31, 1996, the liability
is recorded at the present value of the future recourse obligation, discounted
at a risk-free rate of return as of the date of the sale. There were no loan
sales with recourse between December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1998.


 LOAN SERVICING AND MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

     The Company services mortgage loans for investors. Fees earned for
servicing loans owned by investors are reported as income when the related
mortgage loan payments are due. Accrued servicing fees relating to loans past
due more than 90 days are reversed. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense
as incurred. Loans serviced for others are not included with loans receivable
or any other asset in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
     The Company from time-to-time enters into transactions to acquire the
rights to service pools of loans for others and collect the servicing and
related fees. The amount paid by the Company for these rights is capitalized as
MSA. The Company also sells loans and retains the right to service the loans
for the investors. As discussed in "Gains and Losses from Sale of Loans,"
preceding, the Company also records MSA arising from sales of loans.

     MSA is amortized in proportion to, and over the period that the servicing
rights generate net servicing fee income. SFAS 125 also requires that MSA be
evaluated for impairment based on the asset's fair value. The Company estimates
fair values by discounting servicing asset cash flows using discount and
prepayment rates that it believes market participants would use. For purposes
of measuring impairment, MSA is stratified by the Company based upon whether
the loans are fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, and whether the loans are
government-insured.


 ACCOUNTING FOR REAL ESTATE

     Real estate acquired in settlement of loans ("REO") is recorded at the
lower of fair value, generally as determined by recent appraisals, reduced by
estimated selling costs, or the recorded investment in the loan at the time of
foreclosure. Thereafter, the property is carried at the lower of acquisition
cost or fair value reduced by estimated selling costs, as reflected by
subsequent appraisals or sales agreements. Specific valuation allowances on REO
are recorded through a charge to operations for estimated costs to sell and if
there is a further deterioration in fair value. The Company also provides a
general allowance for inherent losses on REO recorded through a charge to
operations.

     Real estate held for sale or investment ("REI") is carried at the lower of
cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.

     Changes in estimated selling and disposal costs, and declines in fair
values are provided through a valuation allowance. Net gains or losses on
disposal of REO and REI are charged to operations as incurred.

     Gains on real estate sales financed by the Company are recognized only
when the transactions meet the down-payment and continuing investment criteria
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of
Real Estate." Losses are recognized when identified.


 PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION

     Depreciation and amortization of premises is included in "Occupancy
expense, net" and depreciation and amortization of equipment is included in
"Other general and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Depreciation and amortization of premises and equipment is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line method
over the lesser of the life of the asset or the remaining term of the related
lease. Maintenance and repairs on premises and equipment are charged to expense
as incurred. Material improvements are capitalized.


 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting were recorded at their fair value as of
the date of the acquisition. The excess cost over fair value of the net assets
acquired was classified as goodwill and is being amortized over periods ranging
from 10 to 40 years on a straight-line basis. The purchase accounting discount
or premium resulting from each acquisition is accreted or amortized into
interest income using the interest method over the loans' remaining contractual
lives, adjusted for actual principal prepayments. At June 30, 1998, goodwill
totaled $149.8 million and had a weighted average remaining life of 15.2 years.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
     In fiscal 1997, the Company acquired OneCentral Bank ("OneCentral") with
total assets of $74.3 million for $11.1 million in cash, which includes
out-of-pocket expenses, and TransWorld Bancorp ("TransWorld") with total assets
of $372.4 million for $64.4 million in cash, including out-of-pocket expenses.
The Company recorded goodwill of $5.8 million and $40.0 million, respectively,
in the OneCentral and TransWorld transactions, which is being amortized over 15
years using the straight-line method. The goodwill relating to these
acquisitions had a remaining balance of $42.0 million at June 30, 1998.

     In fiscal 1998, Golden State acquired CENFED. The terms of the transaction
provided for a tax-free exchange of 1.2 shares of Golden State common stock for
each outstanding share of CENFED's common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the
transaction, Golden State issued 7,390,557 shares of its common stock for a
total purchase price of $211.1 million, or $28.563 per share. The Company
recorded goodwill of $90.5 million, which is being amortized over 15 years
using the straight-line method. The goodwill relating to this acquisition had a
remaining balance of $89.5 million at June 30, 1998.

     As discussed in Note 21: "Subsequent Events," on July 11, 1998, Golden
State completed its acquisition of RedFed Bancorp, parent company of Redlands
Federal Bank. Pursuant to this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of
$62.8 million.

     In fiscal 1995, the Company acquired $194 million in deposits of
Independence One Bank of California, Federal Savings Bank ("Independence One")
and $812 million in deposits of Union Federal Bank ("Union Federal"). The
Company paid a purchase premium of $4.4 million for the Independence One
deposits and a purchase premium of $6.9 million for the Union Federal deposits.
The Company accepted as part of the consideration for assuming Union Federal's
deposit liabilities certain of Union Federal's assets at their existing gross
book values. These purchase premiums, together with an adjustment to record the
assets acquired from Union Federal at fair value, totaled $42.9 million, and
are reflected under the caption "Goodwill and other intangible assets" in the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These intangible assets are
being amortized over 10 years using the straight-line method. At June 30, 1998,
these intangible assets totaled $30.6 million with a remaining life of seven
years.

     Periodically, the Company evaluates the recoverability of its deposit
purchase premium assets based upon the rate of attrition of deposit
relationships acquired. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on the basis of
the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the acquired franchise.


 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company has in the past used various strategies to minimize interest
rate risk, including interest rate futures contracts and interest rate exchange
agreements ("swaps"). The Company's accounting policy relating to interest rate
futures contracts is to amortize deferred gains and losses on futures contracts
into interest income or expense over the expected remaining life of the hedged
asset or liability. The conditions for obtaining and maintaining hedge
accounting treatment require identification of the asset or liability to be
hedged and linking the swap to the asset or liability being hedged. The
notional amounts of outstanding interest rate swaps are off-balance sheet items
and therefore are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition. Any gains or losses from selling the swaps simultaneously with the
underlying assets or liabilities are currently recognized. Any gains or losses
from selling only the swap, without the assets or liabilities, are deferred and
amortized over the life of the assets or liabilities. Net interest income
(expense) resulting from the differential between exchanging floating rate and
fixed rate interest payments is recorded on a current basis and is included
with the interest income or expense of the related asset or liability in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not hold any derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes. As of June 30, 1998 and 1997, there
were no interest rate swaps outstanding.

                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
     As detailed under "Current Accounting Pronouncements" following, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") in June of 1998. As
discussed under "Current Accounting Pronouncements," SFAS 133 will require
adjustments to the Company's accounting policy during the quarter ending
September 30, 1999. As the Company presently does not use derivative financial
instruments in its hedging practices, changes to the Company's accounting
policies would have no effect on the Company's statements of financial position
or results of operations at June 30, 1998 for the year then-ended.


 SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

     The Company enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase
("reverse repurchase agreements") only with selected primary dealers. These
reverse repurchase agreements are treated as financings: the dollar amount of
securities underlying the agreements remains in the asset accounts, and the
obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as liabilities in the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.


 INCOME TAXES

     The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax
return.

     The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


 CURRENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Financial Information About Capital
Structure" ("SFAS 129"). SFAS 129 supersedes capital structure disclosure
requirements found in previous accounting pronouncements and consolidates them
into one statement for ease of retrieval and greater visibility for non-public
entities. These disclosures are required for financial statements for periods
ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS 129 makes no changes to previous
accounting pronouncements that applied to the Company; accordingly, adoption of
SFAS 129 has no impact on the Company's results of operations and financial
condition.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 requires the
inclusion of comprehensive income, either in a separate statement for
comprehensive income, or as part of a combined statement of income and
comprehensive income in a full-set of general-purpose financial statements.

     Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business
enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions
to owners. SFAS 130 requires that comprehensive income be presented beginning
with net income, adding the elements of comprehensive income not included in
the determination of net income, to arrive at comprehensive income. SFAS 130
also requires that an enterprise display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in
capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
     SFAS 130 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning July 1,
1998. SFAS 130 requires the presentation of information already contained in
the Company's financial statements and therefore is not expected to have an
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operation.


     In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 132, "Employees' Disclosure about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132"). SFAS 132 changes disclosure
requirements, but does not change measurement standards, of pension and other
postretirement benefit plans. SFAS 132 standardizes the disclosure requirements
for retirement and other postretirement benefit plans that are subject to
previous accounting standards, and requires disclosure of additional
information regarding such plans that will facilitate financial analysis. SFAS
132 is effective for the Bank's fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. SFAS 132
requires changes in disclosures only, and therefore is not expected to have an
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.


     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"). SFAS 133 replaces, amends and nullifies previous statements of financial
accounting standards and Emerging Issues Task Force consensuses to provide a
comprehensive framework for accounting and reporting for derivative instruments
and hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires recognition of all derivative
instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
condition. Gain or loss recognition is determined based on the intended use and
resulting designation of the derivative instrument:


         o        Gains or losses on derivative instruments not designated as
                  hedging instruments are recognized in the period of change in
                  fair value.


         o        Gains or losses on derivative instruments designated as
                  hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a
                  recognized asset, liability or firm commitment are recognized
                  in earnings in the period of the fair value change, together
                  with the offsetting fair value loss or gain on the hedged
                  item.


         o        Gains or losses on derivative instruments designated as
                  hedging exposure to variable cash flows arising from a
                  forecasted transaction are initially reported, to the extent
                  the fair value change is offset by the change in the
                  forecasted cash flows, as a component of other comprehensive
                  income. The portion of the change in fair value in excess of
                  the offsetting change in forecasted cash flows is reported in
                  earnings in the period of the change.


         o        Gains or losses on derivative instruments designated as
                  foreign currency hedges of net investments in foreign
                  operations are reported in other comprehensive income as part
                  of the foreign currency translation adjustment.


     SFAS 133 precludes the use of nonderivative financial instruments as
hedging instruments, except that nonderivative financial instruments
denominated in a foreign currency may be designated as a hedge of the foreign
currency exposure of an unrecognized firm commitment denominated in a foreign
currency or a net investment in a foreign operation.


     SFAS 133 is effective for the Company's quarter ending September 30, 1999.
During that quarter, all existing derivative instruments identified as hedging
instruments must be re-evaluated and designated and documented in compliance
with SFAS 133. At June 30, 1998, the Company had no derivative financial
instruments. Therefore, as of June 30, 1998, SFAS 133 would have no impact on
the Company's statement of financial condition or results of operations.
However, should the Company enter into derivative instrument transactions
during its fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, there will be an indeterminate
effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations for the
fiscal quarter ending September 30, 1999.

     The transfers from held for investment loans were primarily of troubled
loans which the Company sold to remove the credit and/or collateral risk
arising from the credit. The transfer in fiscal 1996 of troubled credits back
to held for investment represents a single loan that was deemed unsalable in
fiscal 1996.

     During fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company received income tax refunds
of $314,000, $8,383,000 and $6,630,000, respectively.


NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS

     On April 21, 1998, Golden State Financial acquired CENFED. Pursuant to the
terms of the transaction, the Company's parent, Golden State issued 7,390,557

purchase price of $211.1 million. Under the purchase method of accounting, the
goodwill of $90.5 million recorded in this transaction will be amortized over
15 years using the straight-line method. At April 21, 1998, CENFED operated 18
branches and had $1.9 billion in assets, including $1.4 billion of loans
receivable, net, and $354 million of mortgage-backed securities, net. CENFED's
liabilities included $1.4 billion of deposits and $403 million of borrowings.
These amounts are unaudited. The merger of CenFed Bank with Glendale Federal
Bank was completed on May 8, 1998.

     On May 16, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of TransWorld
Bancorp ("TransWorld") and its principal subsidiary TransWorld Bank, which
added nine bank offices to the Company's retail network. At that date,
TransWorld had $372.4 million in assets, including $163.2 million of U.S.
Government and federal agency debt securities and $135.8 million in gross real
estate, commercial and consumer loans, and $336.3 million in deposits. The
Company paid $64.4 million which includes out-of-pocket expenses, for the
transaction and, under the purchase method of accounting, recognized goodwill
of $40.0 million after recording the net assets acquired from TransWorld at
fair value.


     On January 31, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of OneCentral
Bank ("OneCentral"). At that date, OneCentral had $74.3 million in assets,
including $38.0 million in gross real estate, commercial and consumer loans,
and $68.8 million in deposits. The Company paid $11.1 million which includes
out-of-pocket expenses, for the transaction and, under the purchase method of
accounting, recognized goodwill of $5.8 million after recording the net assets
acquired from OneCentral at fair value.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
     The Company recorded unrealized losses of $2.8 million and $1.3 million in
its stockholder's equity accounts at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, net
of tax, on the mortgage-backed securities available for sale portfolio.


     The carrying values of mortgage-backed securities as of June 30, 1998 and
1997 were net of unamortized premiums of approximately $19,348,000 and
$35,558,000, respectively, and deferred loan origination fees, net of deferred
loan origination costs, on loans securitized by the Company of approximately
$2,139,000 and $2,636,000 at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.


     The weighted average interest rates of mortgage-backed securities were
6.37% and 6.78% at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Interest receivable
related to mortgage-backed securities outstanding at June 30, 1998 and 1997
totaled $15,825,000 and $15,276,000, respectively. The Company uses mortgage-
backed securities as collateral for various borrowings. At June 30, 1998 and
1997, approximately $666,159,000 and $786,976,000, respectively, of
mortgage-backed securities were pledged as collateral for various borrowings.


     During fiscal 1996, the Company sold $1.7 billion of its fixed-rate
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and recorded a pre-tax loss of
$28.2 million on the sale. The Company's decision to sell most of its CMO
portfolio was part of a strategic realignment of the Company's mortgage-backed
securities portfolio in which $2.8 billion of mortgage-backed securities were
reclassified from "held to maturity" to "available for sale" during the quarter
ended December 31, 1995, in compliance with implementation guidance for SFAS
115. The reclassification included the Company's $1.8 billion fixed-rate CMO
portfolio and $1.0 billion of its adjustable-rate pass-through securities
portfolio. The Company has no immediate plans to sell the remaining CMOs or the
pass-through securities.


     The following table presents proceeds from the sale of mortgage-backed
securities and gross realized gains and losses for the periods indicated (in
thousands):

     The Company had residential real estate loans and SBA loans held for sale
totaling $28.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, as of June 30, 1998,
compared with $19.0 million of residential real estate loans and no SBA loans
as of June 30, 1997.

     The weighted average interest rate of loans receivable (including those
classified as held for sale), giving effect to accretion of discounts and
deferred loan fees, was 7.75% and 7.73% at June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. These rates were reduced by the effect of non-accrual loans,
which resulted in a decrease of the weighted average interest rate on loans of
six and nine basis points at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Interest
receivable on loans receivable (including interest on loans classified as held
for sale) was approximately $92,125,000 and $82,680,000 at June 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively, and is included in "Interest receivable" in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

     The carrying value of loans pledged to secure certain deposits and
borrowings was $6.4 billion and $5.4 billion at June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

     The Company's collateral requirements are the same, regardless of the
region in which the loans are originated. Loans originated and purchased are
secured by real estate with a principal amount of generally no more than 80% of
the appraised value. Loans with LTV ratios in excess of 80% require private
mortgage insurance ("PMI"), or if they meet certain criteria, can be made at
higher interest rates and fees at the option of the loan applicant. These loans
are priced higher in rate, fee and margin than those for which mortgage
insurance is obtained to recognize the increased credit risk assumed by the
Company. This option is available only on loans with a maximum loan amount of
$300,000 and an LTV ratio of no more than 90% without negative amortization
features, where the purpose of the loan is to purchase, or to refinance an
existing loan secured by, a one-unit, single-family residence.


     The following table summarizes the Company's first trust deed real estate
loan portfolio by original loan-to-value ratio, including those classified as
held for sale, at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

     In previous years, the Company sold certain loans with limited credit loss
recourse provisions. These provisions require the Company to repurchase loans
on which the borrower has defaulted. The present value of all future estimated
loan losses are provided for at the time of such sales. Subsequent adjustments
to estimates of future losses are charged to gain or loss on sale of
mortgage-backed securities. In fiscal 1991, the Company entered into certain
transactions whereby its recourse obligations were reduced to reduce risk-based
capital requirements (the "recourse reduction transactions"). In each
transaction, the Company retained the risk of first loss up to a specified
level for which the Company maintains a liability for recourse obligations. The
remainder of the Company's recourse obligations were transferred to an
independent third party. In fiscal 1996, for certain recourse reduction
transactions, the recourse reduction agreements expired or were canceled by the
Company and the full amount of the recourse obligations reverted back to the
Company from the independent third party. There were no sales of loans and
mortgage-backed securities with recourse provisions in fiscal 1998, 1997 or
1996. The Company had recourse obligations for approximately $886.0 million of
loans sold with recourse at June 30, 1998 for which the Company is contingently
liable for up to $465.5 million in future losses. The Company's recorded
liability under these obligations was $10.2 million and $13.7 million at June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and is included in "Other liabilities and
accrued expenses" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition.

     The short-term borrowing was obtained in June 1998 from a commercial bank
to purchase shares of Golden State's common stock in connection with its
acquisition of RedFed in July 1998. See Note 21: "Subsequent Events" for more
information on the Cal Fed Merger and the RedFed acquisition.


 Senior Debentures


     The senior debentures were assumed in the CENFED acquisition in April
1998. The balance at June 30, 1998, is comprised of $17,750,000 of principal
and $1,116,000 of purchase accounting premium. In July 1998, prior to maturity,
all of this debt was redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest and a $2.8 million
premium over the Company's book value of such debentures.


Convertible Subordinated Debentures


     All of the convertible subordinated debentures outstanding at June 30,
1997, were redeemed in September 1997 at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest.


     The Company incurred interest expense on other borrowings of $1.7 million,
$1.5 million and $2 million during fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


     No collateral was pledged for other borrowings at June 30, 1998 or 1997.

     Management has assessed the realizability of the Company's deferred tax
assets and has concluded that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax
assets will be realized.

     For taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 1996, a savings
institution that met certain definitional tests relating to the composition of
its assets and the sources of its income (a "qualifying savings institution")
was permitted to establish reserves for bad debts, and to make annual additions
thereto under the "experience" method. Alternatively, a qualifying savings
institution could elect, on an annual basis, to use the "percentage of taxable
income" method to compute its allowable addition to its bad debt reserve on
qualifying real property loans (generally loans secured by an interest in
improved real estate). The applicable percentage was 8% for tax periods after
1987. The Company utilized the experience method in these years.

     On August 20, 1996, the President signed the Small Business Job Protection
Act (the "Act") into law. One provision of the Act repealed the reserve method
of accounting for bad debts for savings institutions effective for taxable
years beginning after 1995. The Company, therefore, is required to use the
"specific charge-off" method on its 1996 and subsequent federal income tax
returns. The Company is required to recapture its "applicable excess reserves",
which are its federal tax bad debt reserves in excess of the base year reserve
amount described in the following paragraph. The Company will include one-sixth
of its applicable excess reserves in taxable income in each year from 1996
through 2001. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $72
million of applicable excess reserves. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had
fully provided for the tax related to this recapture. The base year reserves
will continue to be subject to recapture and the Company could be required to
recognize a tax liability if: (1) the Company fails to qualify as a "bank" for
federal income tax purposes; (2) certain distributions are made with respect to
the stock of the Company; (3) the bad debt reserves are used for any purpose
other than to absorb bad debt losses; or (4) there is a change in federal tax
law. The enactment of this legislation is expected to have no material impact
on the Company's operations or financial position.

                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes," a deferred tax liability has not been recognized
for the tax bad debt base year reserves of the Company. The base year reserves
are generally the balance of reserves as of December 31, 1987 reduced
proportionately for reductions in the Company's loan portfolio since that date.
The amount of those reserves was approximately $153 million at December 31,
1987. The amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability at June 30, 1998
was approximately $54 million. This deferred tax liability could be recognized
in the future under the conditions described in the preceding paragraph.

     In July 1993, GLENFED, Inc., the former holding company of Glendale
Federal Bank, received notices from the California Franchise Tax Board
proposing to assess taxes for the years 1988, 1989 and 1990 in the amount of
$5.3 million. GLENFED, Inc. protested the proposed taxes and, in September
1996, made a payment to the Franchise Tax Board in settlement of the disputed
amount. The payment was charged to existing reserves.

 Loans

     Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial
characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as single-family residential
mortgage, multi-family, non-residential, commercial and consumer. Each loan
category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and
by performing and non-performing categories.

                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
     The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting cash flows
through their estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that
reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan, adjusted to
reflect differences in servicing costs. The estimate of maturity is based on
market prepayment estimates for each loan classification.

     Fair value for non-performing loans is based on estimated cash flows
discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the
estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and
discount rates are judgmentally determined by using available market
information.

     The following table presents information for loans, including loans held
for sale and net of allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 1998 and 1997 (in

 Deposit Liabilities

     The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings
accounts, checking and NOW accounts, and money market checking/savings
accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of June 30, 1998 and
1997. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted
value of contractual cash flows using estimated market rates that reflect
certificates of deposit with similar terms and maturities.

 Mortgage Servicing Assets

     The carrying amount and fair value of the Company's MSA at June 30, 1998
were $243 million and $298 million, respectively. The carrying amount and fair
value of the Company's MSA at June 30, 1997 were $284 million and $353 million,
respectively.

     The fair value of the Company's servicing portfolio is estimated by
applying market assumptions for the serviced loans to estimate
servicing-related income and expenses over the underlying loans' estimated
lives, and discounting the estimated future net servicing income at the current
market discount rate. Fair value is significantly influenced by market
prepayment expectations. Prepayment expectations are influenced by the
difference between the loans' interest rates and current market interest rates.
During periods of decreasing interest rates, the market anticipates that
homeowners will be more likely to refinance their existing mortgage loans;
during periods of increasing interest rates, the market anticipates that
homeowners will be less inclined to refinance their existing mortgage loans.
The slower prepayments anticipated in times of rising interest rates result in
a longer estimated period of net servicing income for the existing servicing
portfolio, and therefore increases its value. Conversely, the faster
prepayments anticipated in times of declining interest rates result in a
shorter estimated period of net servicing income and therefore decreases the
value of the Company's servicing portfolio.


 Other Financial Instruments

     Financial instruments of the Company, as included in the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition, for which fair value approximates the
carrying amount at June 30, 1998 and 1997 include "Cash and amounts due from
banks", "Interest receivable", "Investment in capital stock of Federal Home
Loan Bank", recourse liability, and accounts payable and accrued expenses.


 Commitments

     As discussed further in Note 16: "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,"
the Company had various commitments outstanding as of June 30, 1998 and 1997
which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The fair value of the commitments is estimated to

              GOLDEN STATE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
approximate the fees currently charged or paid to enter into similar
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the
present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The uncertainty involving the
attempt to determine the likelihood, as well as the timing of a commitment
being drawn upon, coupled with the lack of established markets and the
diversity of fee structures that exist, would not result in what the Company
believes to be a meaningful estimate of fair value.


 Limitations

     Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.
These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding
future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk
characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes
in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

     Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and off-balance sheet
financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated
future business and value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not
considered financial assets or liabilities include deferred tax liabilities,
premises and equipment, mortgage servicing assets and goodwill. In addition,
the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and
losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been
considered in any of the estimates.


NOTE 16: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

     In the normal course of business there are outstanding various commitments
and contingent liabilities which are not reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material
loss as a result of these transactions. The following is a summary of
commitments and contingent liabilities (in thousands):

     Agreements to sell loans and mortgage-backed securities contain
representations and warranties regarding the underwriting and documentation of
the underlying loans. To the extent the Company is deemed to have breached any
of these representations and warranties, the sales agreement allows the
purchaser to demand repurchase of the loans causing the breach. The Company
does not anticipate it will be required to make material repurchases or incur
material losses related to loans and mortgage-backed securities it has sold or
committed to sell at June 30, 1998.

     As more fully discussed in Note 7: "Loans Receivable," in the past, the
Company sold loans and mortgage-backed securities with recourse for credit
losses. The Company provided for the estimated recourse losses at the time of
sale, and evaluates, on a quarterly basis, the adequacy of the liability for
recourse losses. However, significant changes in future losses may require
additions to the recourse liability recorded in the caption "Other liabilities
and accrued expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.


     Commitments to sell residential mortgage loans for a fixed price are
generally entered into between the date the application is taken and the date
the loans are sold into the secondary market. Risks arise from the possible
inability of counter-parties to meet the terms of commitments and movement in
interest rates and related prices.


     The Company makes contractual commitments to extend credit, which are
legally binding agreements to lend money to customers at predetermined interest
rates for a specified period of time. The Company applies its credit standards
when underwriting and extending these commitments, and periodically reassesses
the customers' credit worthiness through ongoing credit reviews. Additional
risks associated with providing these commitments arise when these commitments
are drawn upon, such as the demands on liquidity that the Company would
experience if a significant portion were drawn down at once. However, this is
considered unlikely, as many commitments expire without having been drawn upon.
 


     Upon approval of a loan application, the Company normally gives the
applicant a commitment that the Company will make the approved loan within a
specified time period, normally 10 to 45 days, at a rate of interest and on
other terms determined on the basis of market conditions as of the date of the
commitment.


     The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the
Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of
the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable;
inventory, property, plant and equipment; income-producing commercial
properties; and agricultural products. For single-family lending, collateral
consists of trust-deeds on one-to four-unit residential real estate. The
Company does not anticipate any significant loss as a result of its commitments
to originate loans as of June 30, 1998.


     On February 1, 1994, the Company entered into a five-year contract for the
outsourcing of its data processing and item processing operations. The contract
is based on certain volume levels. If the contract is terminated prior to its
expiration, a termination charge would be incurred, the amount of which would
be dependent upon the nature of the termination and the time remaining on the
contract.


     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in litigation
arising in the normal course of business. Although the legal responsibility and
financial impact with respect to such litigation cannot presently be
ascertained, the Company does not anticipate that the final resolution of these
matters will result in the payment of monetary damages that would be material
in relation to the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.

NOTE 17: REGULATORY CAPITAL


     FIRREA and the regulations promulgated thereunder established certain
minimum levels of regulatory capital for savings institutions subject to Office
of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") supervision. The Bank must follow specific
capital guidelines stipulated by the OTS which involve quantitative measures of
the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items. An
institution that fails to comply with its regulatory capital requirements must
obtain OTS approval of a capital plan and can be subject to a capital directive
and certain restrictions on its operations. At June 30, 1998, the minimum
regulatory capital requirements were:


         o        Tangible and core capital, consisting principally of
                  stockholder's equity, but excluding most intangible assets
                  such as goodwill and any net unrealized holding gains or
                  losses on debt securities available for sale equal to 1.5%
                  and 3% of assets, respectively.


         o        Risk-based capital consisting of core capital plus certain
                  subordinated debt and other capital instruments and, subject
                  to certain limitations, general valuation allowances on loans
                  receivable, equal to 8 percent of the amount of risk-weighted
                  assets.


     At June 30, 1998, the Bank was "well capitalized" under the prompt
corrective action ("PCA") regulations adopted by the OTS pursuant to the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). To be
categorized as "well capitalized", the Bank must maintain minimum core capital,
Tier I risk-based capital and risk-based capital ratios as set forth in the
table below. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are subject to
review by federal regulators about components, risk-weightings and other
factors. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 1998 that management
believes have changed the institution's category.

capital as of June 30, 1998 and 1997 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 18: STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

     On July 23, 1997, shareholders of Glendale Federal Bank, Federal Savings
Bank approved the formation of Golden State Bancorp Inc. as the holding company
for the Bank. The formation of the holding company became effective on July 24,
1997 and the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden State on that
date. Shares of Glendale Federal's common stock automatically became an equal
number of shares of Golden State common stock and shares of Glendale Federal's
Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series E, automatically became an equal number
of shares of Golden State's Noncumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series
A. Glendale Federal's two classes of warrants became exercisable solely to
purchase common stock of Golden State. The board of directors of Glendale
Federal are also the board of directors of Golden State. Golden State was
funded with a dividend of $14.9 million from Glendale Federal to be used for
general working capital purposes and for payment of dividends on Golden State's
preferred stock.


DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY SECURITIES

     The Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Bank and owned by Golden State
Bancorp Inc. has a par value of $1.00 per share and a liquidation preference of
$25 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock provides for noncumulative
dividends, when, as and if declared, at an annual rate of 8.75% of its
liquidation preference and is convertible, at the option of Golden State
Bancorp Inc., into common stock at any time at a conversion price of $10.40 per
share, subject to adjustment in certain events. Subject to applicable laws and
regulations, the Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable, in whole or in
part, at

on or after October 1, 1998 at the following per share redemption prices, plus
in each case an amount equal to any dividends that have been declared thereon
but remain unpaid as of the date of redemption, if redeemed during the

     The Bank intends to redeem all of its Series A Preferred Stock on October
1, 1998 at a redemption price of $26.09375 per share. As of June 30, 1998, the
Bank had 4,617,484 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

RESTRICTION ON STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY AND DIVIDENDS

     Dividends on the Bank's common stock may not be paid unless full cash
dividends on the Bank's Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or
set aside for payment for the immediately preceding dividend period. OTS
regulations limit a savings institution's ability to make capital
distributions, which include the payment of dividends, based on the
institution's capital position. The rule establishes "safe-harbor" amounts of
capital distributions that institutions can make after providing notice to the
OTS, but without needing prior approval. Institutions can distribute amounts in
excess of the safe harbor only with the prior approval of the OTS.

     An institution that exceeds its minimum capital requirements is permitted
to make capital distributions in specified amounts based on its regulatory
capital levels without prior OTS approval unless it is deemed to be "in need of
more than normal supervision," in which case OTS approval of the distribution
may be required. The OTS retains the authority in all cases, however, to
prohibit any capital distribution that would otherwise be authorized under its
regulations if the OTS determines that the capital distribution would
constitute an unsafe or unsound practice and in each case requires prior
notification of any proposed dividend or other capital distribution. The Bank
does not currently expect to pay cash dividends on its common stock or make
other capital distributions, other than preferred stock dividends and the
aforementioned redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, in the foreseeable
future.

     Retained earnings at June 30, 1998 and 1997 include approximately $48
million for which no provision for Federal income tax has been made. These
amounts represent allocations of earnings to bad debt reserves for tax purposes
and are a restriction upon retained earnings. If, in the future, this portion
of retained earnings and an additional approximately $105 million of similar
tax basis reserves from acquired associations are reduced for any purpose other
than tax bad debt losses, Federal income taxes may be imposed at the then
applicable rates.

NOTE 19: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     The Company has several pension plans (collectively, the "Plan") covering
substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service
and the employees' average earnings in the five highest consecutive Plan years
for the last 10 years of employment.

     The Company uses, for financial reporting purposes, the projected unit
credit method and continues to base its funding policy on the individual entry
age normal method.

</TABLE>

     The Company has established a savings plan for its employees which allows
participants to make contributions by salary deduction equal to 15% or less of
their salary pursuant to section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Employees' contributions vest immediately; the Company's partial matching
contributions vest over five years. The Company's contributions to the plan in
fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $1,981,000, $1,713,000 and $739,000,
respectively.

 KEY EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT SUPPLEMENT PLANS

     During fiscal 1992, GLENFED, the former holding company of Glendale
Federal, substantially terminated two non-qualified post-retirement pension
supplement plans previously maintained for certain senior executive officers of
GLENFED, as well as one other such plan assumed by the Bank in its acquisition
of another association. Participants fully vested at the time of such
substantial termination (as well as one officer scheduled to vest within four
months of such date) were offered the opportunity to receive a lump-sum
settlement in lieu of the contractual benefits under the plans. Three
non-vested participants will receive no benefits under the plans. During fiscal
1998, five vested participants were receiving benefits under the plans.

 DIRECTORS' RETIREMENT PLANS

     The Company maintains directors' retirement plans for non-employee
directors who serve on its Board of Directors (the "Directors' Plan"). The
Directors' Plan provides that a non-employee director shall, after termination
of Board membership, be entitled to receive a monthly payment equal to: (1) the
monthly Board retainer in effect at the time of termination; plus (2) the fee
paid at such time for attending a Board meeting, for the number of years equal
to the number of years of Board service, but not to exceed twenty years.
Payments of such amounts normally commence at the later of the director's
termination date or the director's attainment of age 65.

NOTE 20: STOCK OPTION PLAN

     Golden State has a stock option plan (the "Option Plan") that provides for
the granting of options of Golden State common stock to employees and
directors. The Option Plan has a term of five years and allows for awards
totaling up to 7.2 million shares of common stock. Options granted generally
have terms of ten years each. All options granted will become exercisable upon
a change in control of Golden State.

     In October 1994, Glendale Federal's shareholders approved amendments to
the Option Plan which, among other things: (1) provide for annual grants of
options to acquire 5,000 shares to each non-employee Director; and (2) provide
for equitable adjustments of the exercise or purchase price and the number or
class of shares covered by outstanding awards to preserve the benefit of such
awards in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to shareholders of
Golden State in property or cash in an amount in excess of Golden State's
normal dividend or distribution policy in effect at the time. Grants to
directors are made on the first day following each annual meeting of Golden
State's shareholders with an exercise price equal to the closing price on the
New York Stock Exchange of Golden State's common stock on such date and vest on
the date of the next succeeding annual meeting.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                          JUNE 30, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
 
     Golden State and the Company applies APB Opinion 25 in accounting for its
stock-based compensation plan. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been
recognized for its stock options. Had Golden State and the Company determined
compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant dates of its stock
options consistent with SFAS 123, the Company's net earnings would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts as follows:

     During the initial phase-in period, the effects of applying SFAS 123 for

NOTE 21: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On July 11, 1998, Golden State acquired RedFed Bancorp Inc. ("RedFed") and
its federal savings bank subsidiary, Redlands Federal Bank, in a tax-free,
stock-for-stock merger. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, Golden State
issued 5,221,995 shares of its common stock, resulting in a total recorded
purchase price of $158.3 million. Under the purchase method of accounting, the
goodwill of $62.8 million recorded in this transaction will be amortized over
15 years using the straight-line method. At July 11, 1998, RedFed operated 15
branches and had $1.0 billion in assets, including $893.7 million of loans
receivable, net. RedFed's liabilities included $864.1 million of deposits and
$78.7 million of borrowings. These amounts are unaudited.

     In connection with its acquisition of RedFed, Golden State undertook a
stock repurchase program, pursuant to which Golden State purchased 5,222,200
shares of its common stock in the open market. At June 30, 1998, Golden State
had 4,688,400 shares of its common stock in treasury that had been repurchased
under this program at an aggregate cost of $158.1 million.

     On February 4, 1998, and as amended as of July 13, 1998, Golden State
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Cal Fed Merger
Agreement") with First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings, Inc. ("First Nationwide"),
First Nationwide Holdings, Inc. ("FNH"), and certain other parent entities of
California Federal Bank, A Federal Savings Bank ("Cal Fed"). FNH is controlled,
through intermediate entities, by MacAndrews and Forbes Holdings Inc. ("MAF")
and Gerald J. Ford ("Ford"), the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Cal Fed. After giving effect to the Cal Fed Merger, the combined
parent company, Golden State, will continue to be a publicly traded company,
FNH will be merged with and into Golden State Financial, and Glendale Federal
will be merged with and into Cal Fed.

          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
have been prepared to reflect the Mergers, the Refinancing (assuming that (i)
100% of the FNH Notes are acquired in connection with the Refinancing, and (ii)
all outstanding shares of Cal Fed Preferred Stock are acquired in connection
with the Refinancing or are subsequently redeemed by Cal Fed), the RedFed
Merger and the CENFED Merger. The Mergers, the RedFed Merger and the CENFED
Merger will each be accounted for as a purchase. The recorded assets,
liabilities and other items of RedFed will be recorded in Golden State
Financial's consolidated financial statements at their estimated fair value at
the closing date of the RedFed Merger. Golden State Financial's assets,
liabilities and other items will be adjusted to their estimated fair value at
the closing date of the Mergers and combined with the historical book values of
the assets and liabilities of Parent Holdings. Applicable income tax effects of
such adjustments are included as a component of the combined entity's deferred
tax asset or liability. The difference between the estimated fair value of the
assets, liabilities and other items, adjusted as discussed above, and the
purchase price, is recorded as goodwill.


     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect
preliminary purchase accounting adjustments in compliance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Estimates relating to the fair value of certain
assets, liabilities, and other events requiring recognition have been made as
more fully described in the Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Financial Statements. Actual adjustments will be made on the basis of actual
assets, liabilities and other items as of the respective closing dates of the
Mergers and the RedFed Merger on the basis of appraisals and evaluations and,
therefore, actual fair value amounts are expected to differ from those
reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.


     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Financial
Condition assumes that each of the proposed mergers and the Refinancing were
consummated on June 30, 1998. However, for purposes of computing the purchase
price, the daily volume weighted average price of Golden State common stock and
the Litigation Tracking Warrants (Trade Mark)  for the three days ended
September 10, 1998 was used, as such prices are considered to provide more
relevant information to investors. See Note B. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1997 assume that each of the proposed
mergers and the Refinancing were consummated on January 1, 1997. For purposes
of pro forma presentation, Golden State Financial's consolidated statements of
operations have been recast to conform to the calendar year end used by Parent
Holdings.


     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated historical financial statements and
the related notes thereto of Golden State Financial and Parent Holdings, which
are included herein.


     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements presented
are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial condition or results
of the future operations of the combined entity or the actual results that
would have been achieved had the proposed mergers been consummated prior to the
periods indicated.


     All terms used but not defined elsewhere herein have meanings ascribed to
them in Golden State's Proxy Statement dated July 15, 1998 for its special
meeting of stockholders on August 17, 1998.

                         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                    CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      AS OF JUNE 30, 1998 AND FOR THE SIX MONTH AND TWELVE MONTH PERIODS
            ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND DECEMBER 31, 1997, RESPECTIVELY


NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Financial
Condition combines the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
financial condition of RedFed and the historical consolidated statements of
financial condition of Parent Holdings and Golden State Financial as of June
30, 1998, as if the Mergers, the RedFed Merger and the Refinancing were
consummated on June 30, 1998. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998 combines the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of CENFED and
RedFed and the historical unaudited consolidated statements of operations of
Parent Holdings and Golden State Financial for the six months ended June 30,
1998, as if the Mergers, the RedFed Merger, the CENFED Merger and the
Refinancing were consummated on January 1, 1997. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1997
combines the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of CENFED
and RedFed and the historical statements of operations of Parent Holdings and
Golden State Financial as if the Mergers, the RedFed Merger, the CENFED Merger
and the Refinancing were consummated on January 1, 1997. Certain items in the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements related to Parent
Holdings have been reclassified to conform to the Golden State Financial
presentation.

     The Mergers will be accounted for using the "purchase" method of
accounting. Golden State Financial is treated as the acquired corporation for
financial reporting purposes. Golden State Financial's assets, liabilities, and
other items will be adjusted to their estimated fair value at the closing date
of the Mergers and combined with the historical book values of the assets and
liabilities of Parent Holdings. Applicable income tax effects of such
adjustments are included as a component of the combined entity's deferred tax
asset/liability. The difference between the estimated fair value of the assets,
liabilities and other items, adjusted as discussed above, and the purchase
price, is recorded as goodwill.

     For purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Statements, estimates relating to the fair value of certain assets, liabilities
and other items have been made as of June 30, 1998. Actual adjustments will be
made on the basis of actual assets, liabilities and other items as of the date
of the respective mergers on the basis of appraisals and evaluations made as of
that time and, therefore, actual fair value amounts are expected to differ from
those reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Statements.

     It should be noted that management's expectations of cost savings and
other operating efficiencies are not reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Statements. Further, it should be noted that net
interest income may increase or decrease from historical levels based upon
changes in the shape of the yield curve and current market conditions. The pro
forma financial data do not necessarily reflect the results of operations or
the financial position of Golden State Financial that actually would have
resulted had the Mergers, the RedFed Merger, the CENFED Merger and the
Refinancing occurred at the dates indicated, or project the results of
operations or financial position of Golden State Financial for any future date
or period.


NOTE B: PURCHASE PRICE

     The terms of the Agreement call for Golden State Stockholders to own 58
percent of the outstanding common stock of the combined entity, immediately
after giving effect to the Mergers, on a fully-diluted basis (without giving
effect to shares issuable pursuant to the Litigation Tracking Warrants (Trade
Mark)  or the issuance of Contingent Shares). The Agreement also provides for
the contingent issuance to FGH and Hunter's Glen of additional shares of Golden
State Common Stock in connection with (i) the use by Golden State of certain
tax benefits of Parent Holdings and the realization of certain other potential
tax

benefits and liabilities of Golden State and Parent Holdings and (ii) the
receipt by the combined company of a net after-tax recovery in certain
litigation, including a portion of the net recovery, if any, in the Cal Fed
Goodwill Litigation against the United States government.


     Using the daily volume weighted average price of $18.875 and $4.776 for
the fully diluted Golden State common stock and Litigation Tracking Warrants
(Trade Mark) , respectively, for the three days ended September 10, 1998,

     Golden State Financial's cost estimates are forward looking statements.
While the costs represent management's current estimate of merger and
integration costs that will be incurred, the ultimate level and timing of
recognition of such costs will be based on the final merger and integration
plan to be completed in the coming months; the types and amounts of actual
costs incurred could vary materially from these estimates if future
developments differ from the underlying assumptions used by management in
determining its current estimate of these costs.

</TABLE>

     At an assumed rate of 5.5%, the net cash payment made of $45,002 would
reduce pre-tax earnings by approximately $1,238 and $2,475 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and the year ended
December 31, 1997, respectively.

     The hedging transaction effected under the Rate Lock Agreements resulted
in a net loss of approximately $9,958, which will be deferred and amortized
over the life of the related Fixed Rate New Notes through interest expense.
This amortization will reduce pre-tax earnings by approximately $818 and $1,636
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997,
respectively.

     There can be no assurance that all of the outstanding FNH Notes and Cal
Fed Preferred Stock will be purchased in connection with the Refinancing. The
pro forma financial results assume that 100% of the outstanding principal
amount of the FNH Notes and all of the Cal Fed Preferred Stock is purchased in
the Refinancing. If FNH does not purchase all of the outstanding Cal Fed 11
1/2% and 10 5/8% Preferred Stock, Golden State Holdings intends to cause Cal
Fed to redeem any remaining Cal Fed 10 5/8% Preferred
