ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The discussion and analysis included herein covers those material 
changes in liquidity and capital resources that have occurred since 
December 31, 1993, as well as certain material changes in results of 
operations during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1994, and 
1993, respectively.  

     The following narrative is written with the presumption that the users
have read or have access to the Company's 1993 Form 10-K, which contains 
the latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with 
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations as of December 31, 1993, and for the year then ended.  
Therefore, only material changes in financial condition and results of 
operations are discussed herein.

     ACCOUNTING CHANGES

     At December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 114 (FAS 114), "Accounting by Creditors for 
Impairment of a Loan."  FAS 114 imposes certain requirements on the 
measurement of impaired loans.  The Company had previously measured loan 
impairment in accordance with the methods prescribed in FAS 114.  As a 
result, no additional loss provisions were required by early adoption of 
the pronouncement.  FAS 114 also requires that impaired loans for which 
foreclosure is probable should be accounted for as loans.  Amounts at 
June 30, 1993, have not been restated.

     Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments 
in Debt and Equity Securities."  FAS 115 establishes three investment 
classifications:  held to maturity, trading, and available for sale.  In 
accordance with FAS 115, the Company modified its accounting policies as of 
December 31, 1993, to identify investment securities as either held to 
maturity or available for sale.  The Company has no trading securities.  
Held to maturity securities are recorded at cost with any discount or 
premium amortized using a method that is not materially different from the 
interest method.  Securities held to maturity are recorded at cost because 
the Company has the ability to hold these securities to maturity and 
because it is Management's intention to hold them to maturity.  Securities 
available  for sale increase the Company's portfolio management flexibility 
for investments and are reported at fair value.  Net unrealized gains and 
losses are excluded from earnings and reported net of applicable income 
taxes as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.

(a)  Included in TDR ratio is 0.07% or $19 million related to the January 1994 
     Southern California earthquake.
(b)  The decrease in the risk-based capital ratio from December 1993 to 
     June 1994 was due to the March 1994 change in regulations concerning the 
     criteria used to determine the risk weighting for multi-family loans in the
     calculation of the risk-based capital ratio.  Due to uncertainty over how 
     the new regulations will be applied, World Savings has taken a conservative
     approach and, pending further clarification from the Office of Thrift 
     Supervision, has weighted the Association's entire multi-family portfolio 
     at 100%.
(c)  Ratios are annualized by multiplying the quarterly computation by four and
     the semi-annual computation by two.  Averages are computed by adding the 
     beginning balance and each month end balance during the quarter and the 
     six-month period and dividing by four and seven, respectively.

largest asset component.  The disparity between the repricing (maturity or 
interest rate change) of deposits and other liabilities and the repricing 
of mortgage loans can affect the Company's liquidity and can have a 
material impact on the Company's results of operations.  The difference 
between the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities is commonly
referred to as the gap.  The gap table on the following page shows the 
repricing of the Company's assets and liabilities at June 30, 1994.

     CASH AND INVESTMENTS

     The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) requires insured institutions, 
such as the Company's principal subsidiary, World Savings and Loan 
Association (World or Association), to maintain a minimum amount of cash 
and certain qualifying investments for liquidity purposes.  The current 
minimum requirement is equal to a monthly average of 5% of customer 
deposits and short-term borrowings.  For the months ended June 30, 1994, 
and 1993, and December 31, 1993, World's average regulatory liquidity ratio
was 8%, 11%, and 8%, respectively, consistently exceeding the requirement.  

     Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted FAS 115, "Accounting 
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  FAS 115 
establishes three investment classifications:  held to maturity, trading, 
and  available  for  sale.  At June 30, 1994,  and  December 31, 1993,  the

<PAGE>PAGE 11
Company had no securities held to maturity or for trading.  At 
June 30, 1994, and December 31, 1993, the Company had securities available 
for sale in the amount of $1.8 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, and 
unrealized gains on  securities  available  for  sale  included in  
stockholders' equity of $34 million and $41 million, respectively.  For the 
impact on stockholders' equity, see page 22.  The Company has other 
investments that are recorded at cost with any discount or premium 
amortized using a method that is not materially different from the interest 
method.  The adoption of FAS 115 resulted in the reclassification of 
certain securities from the investment securities portfolio to the 
securities available for sale portfolio.  Prior to December 31, 1993, 
securities were classified as either securities held for sale or investment 
securities.  At June 30, 1993, the Company had $684 million of securities 
held for sale.  Securities held for sale were recorded at the aggregate 
portfolio's lower of amortized cost or market, with any unrealized losses 
included in earnings.

          MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     FAS 115 also requires the same three classifications for 
mortgage-backed securities (MBS):  held to maturity, trading, and available 
for sale.  In accordance with FAS 115, the Company modified its accounting 
policies as of December 31, 1993, to identify MBS as either held to 
maturity or available for sale.  The Company has no trading MBS.  At 
June 30, 1994, June 30, 1993, and December 31, 1993, the Company had 
mortgage-backed securities held to maturity in the amount of $506 million, 
$1.6 billion, and $408 million, respectively.  At June 30, 1994, and 
December 31, 1993, the Company had mortgage-backed securities available for 
sale in the amount of $764 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, and 
unrealized gains on mortgage-backed securities included in stockholders' 
equity of $18 million and $44 million, respectively.

     Repayments of MBS during the second quarter and first six months of 
1994 were $96 million and $229 million, respectively, compared to 
$163 million and $295 million in the same periods of 1993.  

     LOAN PORTFOLIO

          LOAN VOLUME

     New loan originations for the quarter and six months ended 
June 30, 1994, amounted to $1.6 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, 
compared to $1.8 billion and $3.3 billion for the same periods in 1993.  
Refinanced loans constituted 45% and 51% of new loan originations for the 
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994, respectively, compared to 59% 
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1993.  In the first six 
months of 1994, the rising cost of new fixed-rate mortgages caused the 
volume of refinance activity in the marketplace to drop considerably from 
the high levels of 1993 with a corresponding decline in the overall 
mortgage demand.  As a result of rising rates and increased competition 

<PAGE>PAGE 12
in a smaller market, the Company's 1994 total loan originations declined 
compared to 1993.  Although the Company has lending operations in 22 
states, the primary mortgage origination focus continues to be on 
residential properties in California.  For the quarter and six months ended 
June 30, 1994, 65% and 67%, respectively, of total loan originations were 
on residential properties in California compared to 75% and 76% for the 
same periods in 1993.  Although  California originations continue to be a 
large  portion of total originations, the decrease in 1994 as compared to 
1993 was due to increased activity by the Company in markets outside 
California and the decrease of originations in California.  The percentage 
of the total loan portfolio that is comprised of residential loans in 
California was 80% at June 30, 1994, compared to 83% at June 30, 1993, and 
81% at December 31, 1993.   

     The tables on the following two pages show the Company's loan 
portfolio by state at June 30, 1994, and 1993.

<PAGE>PAGE 15
     Golden West continues to emphasize adjustable rate mortgages 
(ARMs)--loans with interest rates that change periodically in accordance 
with movements in specified indexes.  The portion of the mortgage portfolio
(excluding mortgage-backed securities) composed of rate-sensitive loans was 
88% at June 30, 1994, compared to 87% at June 30, 1993, and 
December 31, 1993.  While rates on fixed-rate mortgages rose significantly 
during the first half of 1994, lower rates on ARM loans made adjustable 
instruments more attractive in the marketplace.  Golden West's ARM 
originations constituted approximately 86% of new mortgage loans made by 
the Company in the first half of 1994 compared to 78% in the first six 
months of 1993.  

     The weighted average maximum lifetime cap rate on the Association's 
ARM and modified ARM loan portfolio was 13.61%, or 7.40% above the actual 
weighted average rate, at June 30, 1994, versus 14.01%, or 7.25% above the 
weighted average rate, at June 30, 1993.

     Approximately $4.4 billion of the Association's loans have terms that 
state that the interest rate may not fall below a lifetime floor set at the
time of origination.  As of June 30, 1994, $1.4 billion of these loans were 
at their rate floors.  The weighted average floor rate on these loans was 
7.23% at June 30, 1994.  Without the floor, the average yield on these 
loans would have been 5.98%.

     Loan repayments consisting of monthly loan amortization, payoffs, and 
refinances during the second quarter and first six months of 1994 were 
$918 million and $1.9 billion, respectively, compared to $966 million and 
$1.7 billion in the same periods of 1993.  The increase in loan repayments 
for the first six months of 1994 was primarily due to higher mortgage 
payoffs within our loan portfolio.

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 114 (FAS 114), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," in 
the fourth quarter of 1993, retroactive to January 1, 1993.  See 
"Accounting Changes" on page 7.

     It is too early to predict with any precision all of the potential 
losses to the Company resulting from the Northridge (Southern California) 
earthquake in January 1994; however, based on preliminary assessments of 
severity of damage, borrower equity, and levels of insurance coverage, the 
Company believes that any potential loss to the Company will not be 
material to the financial condition and results of operations of the 
Company.  The first six months of 1994 loan loss reserve and provision for 
loan losses included $3.4 million in loss reserves specifically identified 
as earthquake losses.  In addition, at June 30, 1994, troubled debt 
restructured, which are loans that have been modified due to a weakness in 
the collateral and/or borrower, included $19 million of loans modified as a 
result of the Southern California earthquake.

          NONPERFORMING ASSETS

     One measure of the soundness of the Company's portfolio is its ratio 
of nonperforming assets (NPAs) to total assets.  Nonperforming assets 
include non-accrual loans (loans that are 90 days or more past due) and 
real estate  acquired through  foreclosure.  Loans in-substance  foreclosed 
were no longer classified as part of the real estate held for sale 
portfolio upon adoption of FAS 114 during December 1993 and are now 
included in the Company's total loan portfolio as previously discussed.  No 
interest is recognized on non-accrual loans.      

     The table below shows the components of the Company's nonperforming 
assets and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets at 
June 30, 1994, and 1993, and December 31, 1993.

</TABLE> 

     The increase in NPAs in 1994 and 1993 was primarily in single-family 
loans.  The continued weak California economy and high unemployment 
resulted in an increase in loan delinquencies and, in certain areas, 
decreases in real estate prices.  The growth in the total dollar amount of 
NPAs has also been impacted by a continued high level of bankruptcy 
filings, which often delay the collection process and extend the length of 
time a loan remains delinquent.  The Company continues to closely monitor 
all delinquencies and takes appropriate steps to protect its interests.  
Interest foregone on non-accrual loans in the second quarter and first six 
months of 1994 amounted to $4 million and $10 million, respectively, 
compared to $5 million and $11 million in the same periods of 1993. 

     The tables on the following two pages show the Company's nonperforming 
assets by state at June 30, 1994, and 1993.

(a)  Non-accrual loans are 90 days or more past due and have no unpaid interest
     accrued.


     The Company's troubled debt restructured (TDRs) were $58 million or 
0.20% of assets at June 30, 1994, compared to $21 million or 0.07% of 
assets at June 30, 1993, and $37 million or 0.13% of assets at 
December 31, 1993.  The increase from June 1993 to June 1994 is due in part 
to the December 31, 1993, FAS 114 reclassification of in-substance 
foreclosed loans previously discussed, which included loans that had been 
modified.  In addition, at June 30, 1994, $19 million or 0.07% is related 
to the Southern California earthquake.  The Company's TDRs are made up of 
loans on which delinquent loan payments have been capitalized or on which 
temporary interest rate reductions have been made, primarily to customers 
negatively impacted by adverse economic conditions.  Interest foregone on 
TDRs amounted to $125 thousand and $245 thousand for the three and six 
months ended June 30, 1994, respectively, compared to $61 thousand and 
$122 thousand for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1993.

     The Company provides allowances for losses on loans when impaired and 
real estate owned when any significant and permanent decline in value is 
identified and based upon trends in the basic portfolio.  Additions to and 
reductions from the allowances are reflected in current earnings.  Periodic 
reviews are made of major loans and real estate owned, and major lending 
areas are regularly reviewed to determine potential problems.  Where 
indicated, valuation allowances are established or adjusted.  In estimating 
loan losses, consideration is given to the estimated sale price, cost of 
refurbishing, payment of delinquent taxes, cost of disposal, and cost of 
holding the property.

     The table below shows the changes in the allowance for loan losses for 
the three and six months ended June 30, 1994, and 1993.

     The Company utilizes a methodology for monitoring and estimating loan 
losses that is based on both historical experience in the loan portfolio 
and factors reflecting current economic conditions.  This approach uses a 
data base that identifies losses on loans and foreclosed real estate from 
past years to the present, broken down by year of origination, type of 
loan, and geographical area.  Management is then able to estimate a range 
of loss allowances to cover losses in the portfolio.  The increase in the 
allowance and the provision in 1994 over 1993 was considered prudent given 
the still weak California economy, the increase in the size of the loan 
portfolio, and the January 1994 Southern California earthquake previously 
noted.

<PAGE>PAGE 20
     Chargeoffs increased as a result of the increase in nonperforming 
loans, the increase in the percentage of nonperforming loans that became 
real estate owned, and the increased losses on real estate owned.

          CUSTOMER DEPOSITS

     Customer deposits increased during the second quarter of 1994 by 
$396 million, including interest credited of $138 million and the 
acquisition of three branches in New Jersey containing $78 million in 
deposits (two of which were subsequently consolidated with other branches), 
compared to a customer deposit increase of $566 million, including interest 
credited of $141 million, in the second quarter of 1993.  Customer deposit 
balances in the first half of 1994 increased by $492 million, including 
interest credited of $271 million and the acquisition of three branches in 
New Jersey containing $78 million in deposits, compared to an increase of 
$575 million, including interest credited of $280 million, in the first 
half of 1993.  The net increase of customer deposits during the first half 
of 1994 resulted from the improvement in the savings market.  The increase 
in 1993 was a result of special promotions in the Company's savings 
markets.  The Company has no brokered deposits.

     ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS

     The Company uses FHLB borrowings, also known as "advances," to 
supplement cash flow and to provide funds for loan origination activities. 
Advances offer strategic advantages for asset-liability management, 
including long-term maturities and, in certain cases, prepayment at the 
Company's option.  FHLB advances amounted to $6.2 billion at June 30, 1994,
compared to $6.8 billion and $6.3 billion at June 30, 1993, and 
December 31, 1993, respectively.  

     SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

     The Company borrows funds through transactions in which securities are
sold under agreements to repurchase (Reverse Repos).  These funds are used 
to take advantage of arbitrage investment opportunities and to supplement 
cash flow.  Reverse Repos are entered into with selected major government 
securities dealers, as well as large banks, typically using MBS from the 
Company's portfolio.  Reverse Repos with dealers and banks amounted to 
$319 million, $469 million, and $377 million at June 30, 1994, and 1993, 
and December 31, 1993, respectively.  

     OTHER BORROWINGS

     Golden West currently has on file a registration statement with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale of up to $100 million of 
subordinated debt securities.  The Company had issued a total of 
$1.0 billion of subordinated debt at June 30, 1994.  As of June 30, 1994, 
Golden West's subordinated debt securities were rated A3 and A- by Moody's 
Investors Service (Moody's) and Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P), 
respectively.

     World currently has on file shelf registrations with the OTS for the 
issuance of $2.0 billion of unsecured medium-term notes.  At June 30, 1994,
$1.2 billion was available for issuance.  The Association had medium-term 
notes outstanding under the current and prior registrations with principal 
amounts of $664 million at June 30, 1994, compared to $676 million at 
June 30, 1993, and $677 million at December 31, 1993.  As of June 30, 1994, 
the Association's medium-term notes were rated A1 and A+ by Moody's and 
S&P, respectively.  

     World also has on file a registration statement with the OTS for the 
sale of up to $250 million of subordinated notes.  Under a prior filing 
with the OTS, $50 million of subordinated notes remain unissued.  As of 
June 30, 1994, the Association had issued a total of $200 million of 
subordinated notes.  As of June 30, 1994, World's subordinated notes were 
rated A2 and A by Moody's and S&P, respectively.  The subordinated notes 
are included in the Association's risk-based regulatory capital as 
Supplementary Capital.

     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY 

     The Company's stockholders' equity increased in the first six months 
of 1994 and 1993  through the  retention of  a percentage  of net earnings.

<PAGE>PAGE 23
However, the increase in stockholders' equity in 1994 was partially offset 
by a $33 million decrease in unrealized gains on securities available for 
sale due to the subsequent decrease in market values of securities 
available for sale since December 31, 1993, and by $44 million due to the 
purchase of Company stock.

     On October 28, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the 
purchase by the Company of up to 3.2 million shares of Golden West's common 
stock.  On July 28, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the 
purchase by the Company of an additional 3.1 million shares of Golden 
West's common stock.  As of June 30, 1994, 1,325,400 shares had been 
repurchased and retired at a cost of $51.4 million since October 28, 1993, 
of which 694,500 shares were purchased and retired at a cost of 
$27.0 million during the second quarter of 1994.

     The Company has on file a shelf registration statement with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission to issue up to two million shares of its
preferred stock.  The preferred stock may be sold from time to time in one 
or more transactions for total proceeds of up to $200 million.  The 
preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, may have varying 
provisions and designations, and may be represented by depository shares.  
The preferred stock is not convertible into common stock.  No preferred 
stock has yet been issued under the registration.  The Company's preferred 
stock has been preliminarily rated a2 by Moody's.

     REGULATORY CAPITAL

     The OTS requires federally insured institutions, such as World, to 
meet certain minimum capital requirements.  The table below shows World's 
current regulatory capital ratios and compares them to the current OTS 
minimum requirements at June 30, 1994, and 1993.

     During the first quarter of 1994, the Office of Thrift Supervision 
changed the regulations concerning the criteria used to determine the risk 
weighting for multi-family loans in the calculation of the risk-based 
capital ratio.  Due to uncertainty over how the new regulations will be 
applied, World Savings has taken the conservative approach and pending any 
further clarification from the OTS, has weighted the Association's entire 
multi-family portfolio at 100%.  This change caused a decrease in the 
risk-based capital ratio from June 1993 to June 1994.

     The table below shows World's regulatory capital ratios and compares 
them to the fully phased-in 1995 OTS minimum requirements at June 30, 1994,

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          PROFIT MARGINS/SPREADS

     An important determinant of Golden West's earnings is its profit 
margin or primary spread--the difference between its yield on earning 
assets and its cost of funds.  The table below shows the components of the 
Company's spread at June 30, 1994, and 1993, and December 31, 1993.

</TABLE>

     The Company's primary spread is to some degree dependent on changes in 
interest rates because Golden West's liabilities tend to respond somewhat 
more rapidly to rate movements than its assets.  During the first six 
months of 1994, interest rates began to rise, leading to an increase in the 
cost of Golden West's liabilities during the second quarter.  At the same 
time, however, the yield on the Company's major earning asset, the loan 
portfolio, continued to decline slightly because most of Golden West's 
mortgages are tied to  the Eleventh District FHLB  Cost of Funds Index (the 

<PAGE>PAGE 27
COFI), which lags changes in market rates by several months.  Consequently, 
at June 30, 1994, the Company's primary spread was lower than at both 
December 31, 1993, and June 30, 1993.

     The table below shows the Company's revenues and expenses as a 
percentage of total revenues for the three and six months ended 
June 30, 1994, and 1993, in order to focus on the changes in interest 
income between years as well as changes in other revenue and expense 
amounts.

         INTEREST ON LOANS

     In the second quarter of 1994, interest on loans was lower than in the
comparable 1993 period by $14.1 million or 3.4%.  The 1994 decrease was due
primarily to a 57 basis point decrease in the average portfolio yield, 
which was partially offset by a $1.3 billion increase in the average 
portfolio balance.  For the first half of 1994, interest on loans was lower
than in the first six months of 1993 by $23.1 million or 2.8% due to a 
60 basis point decrease in the average portfolio yield, which was partially 
offset by a $1.5 billion increase in the average portfolio balance.

<PAGE>PAGE 28
          INTEREST ON MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     In the second quarter of 1994, interest on mortgage-backed securities 
was lower than in the comparable 1993 period by $11.0 million or 29.6%.  
The 1994 decrease was due primarily to a 72 basis point decrease in the 
average portfolio yield and a $388 million decrease in the average 
portfolio balance.  For the first half of 1994, interest on mortgage-backed 
securities was lower than in the comparable 1993 period by $21.6 million or 
28.4% due to a 71 basis point decrease in the average portfolio yield and a
$376 million decrease in the average portfolio balance.

          INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS ON INVESTMENTS

     The income earned on the investment portfolio fluctuates, depending 
upon the volume outstanding and the yields available on short-term 
investments.  For the second quarter of 1994, interest and dividends on 
investments was $10.5 million or 42.1% higher than for the same period in 
1993.  The increase was primarily due to a $108 million increase in the 
average portfolio balance and a 102 basis point increase in the average 
portfolio yield.  For the first half of 1994, interest and dividends on 
investments was $18.7 million or 44.7% higher than for the same period in 
1993.  The increase was primarily due to a $359 million increase in the 
average portfolio balance and a 68 basis point increase in the average 
portfolio yield.

          INTEREST ON CUSTOMER DEPOSITS

     The major portion of the Company's customer deposit base consists of 
savings accounts with remaining maturities of less than one year.  Thus, 
the amount of interest paid on these funds depends upon the level of 
short-term interest rates and the savings balances outstanding.  In the 
second quarter and first half of 1994, interest on customer deposits 
decreased by $9.4 million or 5.3% and $19.8 million or 5.6%, respectively, 
from the comparable periods of 1993.  The second quarter decrease was 
primarily due to a 45 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits, 
which was partially offset by a $1.0 billion increase in the average 
deposit balance.  The six month decrease was primarily due to a 45 basis 
point decrease in the average cost of deposits partially offset by a 
$948 million increase in the average deposit balance.

          INTEREST ON ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS

     For the second quarter and first half of 1994, interest on advances 
and other borrowings decreased by $10.8 million or 9.4 % and $18.5 million 
or 8.4%, respectively, compared to the same periods a year earlier.  The 
second quarter decrease was primarily due to a $272 million decrease in the
average balance of these borrowings and a 33 basis point decrease in the 
average cost of these borrowings.  The six month decrease was primarily due 
to a 56 basis point decrease in the average cost of these borrowings, which 
was partially offset by a $211 million increase in their average balance.

<PAGE>PAGE 29
          PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The provision for loan losses was $17.9 million and $34.4 million, 
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994, compared to 
$13.2 million and $24.6 million for the same periods in 1993.  The 1994 
increase in provision over 1993 reflected increased chargeoffs, increased 
nonperforming assets, and the continued weak California economy.  In 
addition, the provision for the first six months of 1994 included 
$3.4 million in specific earthquake loss reserves.

          GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     For the second quarter and first half of 1994, general and 
administrative expenses (G & A) increased by $9.4 million or 14.6% and 
$17.4 million or 13.5%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1993.  
The primary reasons for the increase in 1994 were the expansion of loan 
origination capacity and savings branches primarily outside California; the 
expenses of relocating some of our administrative operations to San 
Antonio, Texas; the installation of enhancements to data processing 
systems; and general inflation.  In addition, during the first six months 
of 1993, the Company received a reduction in the FDIC premium due to the 
settlement of the FSLIC secondary reserve.  As a result, deposit insurance 
expense for the first six months of 1993 included a credit of $2.8 million.  
G & A as a percentage of average assets on an annualized basis was 1.00% 
and 1.01% for the second quarter and first half of 1994, respectively, 
compared to 0.91% and 0.94% for the same periods in 1993.

          TAXES ON INCOME

     The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting for income tax 
purposes and for preparing its published financial statements.  For 
financial reporting purposes only, the Company uses purchase accounting in 
connection with certain assets acquired through mergers.  The purchase 
accounting portion of income is not subject to tax.

     In the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  
FAS 109 requires a change from the deferred method to the liability method 
of computing deferred income taxes.  The Company has applied FAS 109 
prospectively.  FAS 109 required the Company to adjust its purchase 
accounting for prior business combinations by increasing deferred tax 
assets and reducing goodwill by $23 million to reflect the non-taxability 
of purchase accounting income.  This deferred tax asset is being amortized 
over the remaining lives of the related purchased assets.

     The corporate tax rates for the second quarter and first half of 1994 
were 41.0% and 40.9%, respectively, compared to 39.5% for the same periods 
a year ago.  This increase is primarily due to the effect of the federal 
legislation enacted during the third quarter of 1993 that increased the 
federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35%.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Association's principal sources of funds are cash flows generated 
from earnings; customer deposits; loan repayments; borrowings from the 
FHLB; issuance of medium-term notes; and debt collateralized by mortgages, 
MBS, or securities.  In addition, the Association has a number of other 
alternatives available to provide liquidity or finance operations.  These 
include borrowings from public offerings of debt or equity, sales of loans, 
negotiable certificates of deposit, issuances of commercial paper, and 
borrowings from commercial banks.  Furthermore, under certain conditions, 
World may borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to meet 
short-term cash needs.  The availability of these funds will vary depending 
upon policies of the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and 
the Federal Reserve Board.  For a discussion of the Association's liquidity 
positions at June 30, 1994, and 1993, and December 31, 1993, see the cash 
and investments section on page 10.

     The principal sources of funds for the Association's parent, Golden 
West, are dividends from World and the proceeds from the issuance of debt 
and equity securities.  Various statutory and regulatory restrictions and 
tax considerations limit the amount of dividends the Association can pay.  
The principal liquidity needs of the parent company are for payment of 
interest on subordinated debt securities, dividends to stockholders, the 
purchase of Company stock, and general and administrative expenses.  At 
June 30, 1994, and 1993, and December 31, 1993, the parent company's total 
cash and investments amounted to $865 million (including a $300 million 
short-term loan to the Association), $714 million, and $956 million 
(including a $150 million short-term loan to the Association), 
respectively.
