</TABLE>

     As the above table shows, customer deposits represent the majority of 
the Company's liabilities.  On the other side of the balance sheet, the 
loan portfolio, which consists primarily of long-term mortgages, is the 
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 that, as 
of March 31, 1995, the Company's assets are scheduled to reprice sooner 
than its liabilities.  Consequently, one would expect falling interest rates
to lower the Company's earnings and rising interest rates to increase the 
Company's earnings.  However, the Company's earnings are also affected by 
the built-in lag inherent in the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index 
(COFI), which is the benchmark the Company uses to determine the rate on 
the great majority of its adjustable-rate mortgages.  Consequently, the 
COFI reporting lag causes assets to initially reprice more slowly than 
liabilities, enhancing earnings when rates are falling and holding down 
income when rates rise.

     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 March 31, 1995, 
and 1994, and December 31, 1994, World's average regulatory liquidity ratio 
was 7%, 8%, and 7%, respectively, consistently exceeding the requirement.  

     At March 31, 1995, and 1994, and December 31, 1994, the Company had no 
securities held to maturity or for trading.  At March 31, 1995, and 1994, 
and December 31, 1994, the Company had securities available for sale in the 

<PAGE>PAGE 11
amount of $1.3 billion, $1.8 billion, and $1.5 billion, respectively, and 
unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $57 million, 
$59 million, and $23 million, respectively.  For the impact on 
stockholders' equity, see page 22.

     Included in the securities available for sale at March 31, 1995, and 
1994, and December 31, 1994, were collateralized mortgage obligations 
(CMOs) in the amount of $620 million, $727 million, and $668 million, 
respectively.   The Company holds CMOs on which both principal and interest 
are received.  It does not hold any interest-only or principal-only CMOs.  
At March 31, 1995, the majority of the Company's CMOs are fixed rate and 
had remaining terms to maturity of five years or less and qualified for 
inclusion in the regulatory liquidity measurement.  

     MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     During the first three months of 1995, the Company securitized 
$288 million of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) into FNMA mortgage-backed 
securities (MBS), to be used as collateral for borrowings.  These 
securities are with full recourse to the Company.  The Company does not 
intend to sell and has the ability and intent to hold these MBS until 
maturity.  Accordingly, these MBS are classified as held to maturity.  

     MBS held to maturity at March 31, 1995, and 1994, and December 31, 
1994, are $1.1 billion, $401 million, and $871 million, respectively.  MBS 
available for sale at March 31, 1995, and 1994, and December 31, 1994, are 
$317 million, $966 million, and $323 million, respectively.  Unrealized 
gains on MBS available for sale at March 31, 1995, and 1994, and 
December 31, 1994, are $12 million, $52 million, and $6 million, 
respectively.

     Repayments of MBS during the first quarter of 1995 were $25 million 
compared to $133 million in the same period of 1994.  The portion of the 
Company's loans receivable represented by MBS was 5%, 5%, and 4% at 
March 31, 1995, and 1994, and December 31, 1994, respectively.

     The mortgage-backed securities held are primarily fixed-rate 
pass-through obligations and are subject to prepayment and interest rate 
risk similar to fixed-rate loans.  In rising interest rate environments, 
the rate of repayment on this type of mortgage-backed security tends to 
decrease because of lower prepayments on the underlying mortgages, as 
exhibited in the reduction of repayments between 1995 and 1994.

     LOAN PORTFOLIO

          LOAN VOLUME

     New loan originations for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, amounted 
to $1.8 billion compared to $1.2 billion for the same period in 1994.  The 
higher rate environment in 1995 stimulated consumer interest in ARMs, which 
during the quarter were more attractively priced than traditional 
fixed-rate loans.  The increased customer preference for adjustable rate 
instruments  combined with  the Company's  expanded loan  origination staff

<PAGE>PAGE 12
contributed to the 43% increase in 1995's first quarter originations as 
compared to the previous year.  Refinanced loans constituted 31% of new 
loan originations for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to 59% for 
the quarter ended March 31, 1994.  

     Although the Company has lending operations in 22 states, the primary 
source of mortgage origination continues to be loans secured by residential 
property in California.  For the three months ended March 31, 1995, 56% of 
total loan originations were on residential properties in California 
compared to 70% for the same period in 1994.  Although California 
originations continue to be a large portion of total originations, the 
decrease in 1995 as compared to 1994 was due to increased activity by the 
Company in markets outside California.  The next largest state for 
originations was Texas, with 7% of the total loan originations for the 
first quarter of 1995.  The percentage of the total loan portfolio that is 
comprised of residential loans in California was 76% at March 31, 1995, 
compared to 81% at March 31, 1994, and 77% at December 31, 1994.   

     The tables on the following two pages show the Company's loan 
portfolio by state at March 31, 1995, and 1994.

<PAGE>PAGE 15
     The Company continues to emphasize ARMs--loans with interest rates 
that change periodically in accordance with movements in specified indexes.  
The portion of the mortgage portfolio (excluding MBS) composed of 
rate-sensitive loans was 91% at March 31, 1995, compared to 87% at 
March 31, 1994, and 89% at December 31, 1994.  While rates on fixed-rate 
mortgages rose significantly during 1994, lower rates on ARM loans made 
adjustable instruments more attractive in the marketplace.  The Company's 
ARM originations constituted approximately 99% of new mortgage loans made 
by the Company in the first quarter of 1995 compared to 78% in the first 
three months of 1994.  

     The weighted average maximum lifetime cap rate on the Company's ARM 
portfolio was 13.25%, or 6.07% above the actual weighted average rate, at 
March 31, 1995, versus 13.74%, or 7.43% above the weighted average rate, at 
March 31, 1994.

     Approximately $5.0 billion of the Company'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 March 31, 1995, $762.0 million of these loans 
were at their rate floors.  The weighted average floor rate on these loans 
was 7.74% at March 31, 1995.  Without the floor, the average yield on these 
loans would have been 7.09%.

     Loan repayments consisting of monthly loan amortization, payoffs, and 
refinances during the first quarter of 1995 were $438 million compared to 
$958 million in the same period of 1994.  The decrease in loan repayments 
was primarily due to lower mortgage payoffs and lower refinances within our 
loan portfolio, as previously discussed.

          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.  No interest is recognized on 
non-accrual loans. 

     The table on the following page shows the components of the Company's 
nonperforming assets and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets 
at March 31, 1995, and 1994, and December 31, 1994.

     The strengthening California economy has favorably impacted the 
Company's NPA ratios during the past year.  The Company continues to 
closely monitor all delinquencies and takes appropriate steps to protect 
its interests.  Interest foregone on non-accrual loans in the first quarter 
of 1995 amounted to $5 million compared to $6 million in the same period of 
1994. 

     The tables on the following two pages show the Company's nonperforming 
assets by state at March 31, 1995, and 1994.

(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 $68 million or 
0.20% of assets at March 31, 1995, compared to $38 million or 0.13% of 
assets at March 31, 1994, and $73 million or 0.23% of assets at 
December 31, 1994.  At March 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994, respectively, 
$20 million or 0.06% and $22 million or 0.07% of TDRs were related to the 
January 1994 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 $481 thousand for the three months ended 
March 31, 1995, compared to $120 thousand for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1994.

     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.  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.  In addition, 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.  Additions to and reductions from the allowances are 
reflected in current earnings.

     The table below shows the changes in the allowance for loan losses for 
the three months ended March 31, 1995, and 1994.

     CUSTOMER DEPOSITS

     Customer deposits increased during the first quarter of 1995 by 
$1.1 billion, including interest credited of $188 million, excluding the 
effect of the sale of seven Colorado branches with balances totaling 
$153 million and the acquisition of a one-branch New Jersey savings 
institution with $48 million in deposits.  In the first three months of 
1994, customer deposits increased by $97 million, including interest 
credited of $134 million.  The net increase of customer deposits during the 
first three months of 1995 as compared to the same period for 1994 resulted 
primarily from higher rates offered on insured accounts.

     ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS

     The Company uses borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB), 
also known as "advances," to supplement cash flow and to provide funds for

<PAGE>PAGE 22
cases, prepayment at the Company's option.  FHLB advances amounted to 
$7.0 billion at March 31, 1995, compared to $6.2 billion and $6.5 billion

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 
$367 million, $648 million, and $602 million at March 31, 1995, and 1994, 
and December 31, 1994, respectively.

     The Company's stockholders' equity increased during the first quarter 
of 1995 as a result of earnings and an increase in the market values of 
securities available for sale.  Unrealized gains on securities and MBS 
available for sale included in stockholders' equity at March 31, 1995, and 
1994, and December 31, 1994, were $40 million, $65 million, and

were to complete the program at March 31, 1995, with a market price of 
$38.25 per share, the remaining authorized but unacquired shares would 
require $19 million to repurchase.  The repurchase of Company stock is not 
intended to have a material impact on the normal liquidity of the Company.

     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 March 31, 1995, and 1994.

          SPREADS

     An important determinant of the Company's earnings is its 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 
March 31, 1995, and 1994, and December 31, 1994.

</TABLE> 
     The Company's primary spread is to some degree dependent on changes in 
interest rates because the Company's liabilities tend to respond somewhat 
more rapidly to rate movements than its assets.  In the past year, interest 
rates rose, leading to an increase in the cost of the Company's liabilities 
during the first quarter of 1995 as compared to 1994.  At the same time, 
however, the yield on the Company's major earning asset, the loan 
portfolio, increased more slowly because most of the Company's 
adjustable-rate mortgages are tied to COFI, which lags changes in market 
rates by several months.  In addition, not all ARMs adjust each month.  
Consequently, at March 31, 1995, the Company's primary spread was lower 
than at both December 31, 1994, and March 31, 1994.

     The Company enters into selected derivative financial instruments as a 
part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  The Company does not 
hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.  During 
1995, virtually all derivative products were various types of interest rate 
swaps.

     Derivatives decreased net interest income by $9 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1995, as compared to $10 million for the same period 
in 1994.

         INTEREST ON LOANS

     In the first quarter of 1995, interest on loans was higher than in the 
comparable 1994 period by $91.9 million or 23.1%.  The increase in 1995 was 
due to a 49 basis point increase in the average portfolio yield and a 
$3.7 billion increase in the average portfolio balance.  

          INTEREST ON MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     In the first quarter of 1995, interest on mortgage-backed securities 
was lower than in the comparable 1994 period by $2.7 million or 9.6%.  The 
decrease in 1995 was due primarily to a 28 basis point decrease in the 
average portfolio yield and a $86.7 million decrease in the average 
portfolio balance.

<PAGE>PAGE 28
          INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS ON INVESTMENTS

     For the first three months of 1995, interest and dividends on 
investments was $10.9 million or 43.2% higher than for the same period in 
1994.  The increase was primarily due to a 180 basis point increase in the 
average portfolio yield as well as a $9.6 million increase in the average 
portfolio balance. 

          INTEREST ON CUSTOMER DEPOSITS

     In the first quarter of 1995, interest on customer deposits increased 
by $70.5 million or 42.7% from the comparable period of 1994.  The increase 
was primarily due to a 100 basis point increase in the average cost of 
deposits and a $2.3 billion increase in the average deposit balance.  

          INTEREST ON ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS

     For the first three months of 1995, interest on advances and other 
borrowings was $52.1 million or 53.5% higher than in the same period in 
1994.  The increase was primarily due to a 142 basis point increase in the 
average cost of these borrowings and a $1.5 billion increase in the average 
balance of these borrowings.  

          PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The provision for loan losses was $14.8 million for the three months 
ended March 31, 1995, compared to $16.5 million for the same period of 
1994.  The lower provision in 1995 reflected the slowly improving 
California economy.  

          GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     For the first three months of 1995, general and administrative 
expenses (G & A) increased by $5.5 million or 7.6% from the comparable 
period in 1994.  The primary reasons for the increase were the expansion of 
loan origination capacity, increased loan volume, growth in savings 
deposits, and miscellaneous operating expenses.   G & A as a percentage of 
average assets on an annualized basis was 0.96% for the first quarter of 
1995 compared to 1.01% for the same period in 1994.

          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.

     The corporate tax rate for the first quarter of 1995 was 38.9% 
comparable to 40.9% for the same period a year ago.  The decrease in the 
first quarter 1995 tax rate is the result of tax benefits from the final 
settlement of prior year tax audits.  

<PAGE>PAGE 29
          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     World'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, World 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 World's liquidity positions 
at March 31, 1995, and 1994, and December 31, 1994, see the cash and 
investments section on page 10.

     The principal sources of funds for Golden West (the Parent) 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 World can pay.  The principal 
liquidity needs of Golden West are for payment of interest on subordinated 
debt securities, dividends to stockholders, the purchase of Golden West 
stock (see the stockholders' equity section on page 23), and general and 
administrative expenses.  At March 31, 1995, and 1994, and 
December 31, 1994, Golden West's total cash and investments amounted to 
$910 million, $964 million (including a $150 million short-term loan to 
World), and $938 million (including a $250 million short-term loan to 
World), respectively.
