</TABLE>
         As the above table shows,  customer deposits  represent the majority of
the Company's  liabilities.  The largest asset  component is the loan portfolio,
which  consists  primarily of long-term  mortgages.  The  disparity  between the
repricing  (maturity or interest rate change) of deposits and borrowings and the
repricing of mortgage loans and  investments  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, 1996,  the
Company's  assets mature or 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.  Specifically,
there is a two-month delay in reporting the COFI because of the time required to
gather the data  needed to compute  the index.  As a result,  the  current  COFI
actually reflects the Eleventh  District's cost of funds at the level it was two
months prior. Consequently, when the interest rate environment changes, 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. In addition to the COFI  reporting  lag,  other elements of ARM loans also
have an impact on earnings.  These  elements are the  interest  rate  adjustment
frequency of ARM loans, interest rate caps or limits on individual rate changes,
interest rate floors, and introductory rates on new ARM loans.

         CASH AND INVESTMENTS

         The Office of Thrift  Supervision (OTS) requires insured  institutions,
such as World  Savings and Loan  Association  (World or  Association)  and World
Savings  Bank, a Federal  Savings Bank (WFSB),  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,  1996 and  1995,  and
December 31, 1995, World's average regulatory  liquidity ratios were 5.5%, 7%,
and 8%, respectively,  consistently exceeding the requirement.  For the months
ended March 31,  1996,  and December 31, 1995,  WFSB's  average  regulatory
liquidity ratios  were  6%,  consistently  exceeding  the  requirement.  The 
level of the Company's  investments  position in excess of its liquidity 
requirements at any time depends on liquidity needs.

         At March 31, 1996 and 1995,  and  December  31,  1995,  the Company had
securities  available for sale in the amount of $708 million,  $1.3 billion, and
$902  million,  respectively,  including  net  unrealized  gains  on  securities
available for sale of $116 million, $57 million, and $117 million, respectively.
At March 31, 1996 and 1995, and December 31, 1995, the Company had no securities
held to maturity or for trading.

         Included  in the  securities  available  for sale at March 31, 1996 and
1995, and December 31, 1995, were collateralized  mortgage obligations (CMOs) in
the amount of $340 million,  $620 million, and $408 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,  1996,  the
majority of the Company's CMOs were fixed-rate  instruments with remaining terms
to maturity of five years or less, and qualified for inclusion in the regulatory
liquidity measurement.

         MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

         At March 31, 1996 and 1995,  and  December  31,  1995,  the Company had
mortgage-backed securities (MBS) held to maturity in the amount of $3.0 billion,
$1.1 billion, and $3.1 billion, respectively,  including $2.2 billion of Federal
National  Mortgage  Association  (FNMA) MBS subject to full  credit  recourse at
March 31, 1996. At March 31, 1996 and 1995,  and December 31, 1995,  the Company
had mortgage-backed securities available for sale in the amount of $270 million,
$317 million, and $283 million, respectively,  including net unrealized gains on
MBS  available  for  sale  of  $13  million,   $12  million,  and  $14  million,
respectively. At March 31, 1996 and 1995, and December 31, 1995, the Company had
no trading MBS.

         During 1995, the Company  securitized  $2.3 billion of adjustable  rate
mortgages  (ARMs)  into FNMA  COFI-indexed  MBS,  to be used as  collateral  for
borrowings. These securities are subject to full credit recourse to the Company.
The Company has the ability and intent to hold these MBS until maturity.
Accordingly, these MBS are classified as held to maturity.

         Repayments  of MBS during the first  quarter of 1996 were $105  million
compared to $25 million in the same period of 1995.  The increase in  repayments
on MBS during the first  three  months of 1996 as  compared  to the first  three
months of 1995 was primarily  due to the increase in MBS that  resulted  through
the  securitization  of ARM  loans  into  FNMA  MBS as  well as an  increase  in
prepayments on the underlying mortgages.

         LOAN PORTFOLIO

                  LOAN VOLUME

         New loan originations for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, amounted to
$1.2 billion  compared to $1.8 billion for the same period in 1995.  The decline
in loan volume in the first quarter of 1996 was due to interest  rate  decreases
which  brought  down  the  price  of  new  fixed-rate   mortgage  loans,  making
competition  from  fixed-rate  lenders more intense for adjustable rate mortgage
lenders, such as the Company. Loans originated for sale amounted to $194 million
for the first  three  months of 1996  compared to $3 million for the first three
months of 1995.  The  increase in for sale  originations  was driven by a higher
demand for  fixed-rate  mortgages.  The  Company  continues  to sell most of its
fixed-rate   originations.   Refinanced  loans   constituted  43%  of  new  loan
originations  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1996,  compared to 31% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995.

         The Company has lending  operations in 24 states. The primary source of
mortgage  origination is loans secured by residential  properties in California.
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, 53% of total loan  originations  were
on residential  properties in California  compared to 55% for the same period in
1995. The five largest states,  other than California,  for originations for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, were Texas, Florida, Colorado,  Illinois, and
Arizona with a combined  total of 28% of total  originations.  The percentage of
the total loan portfolio  (including  mortgage-backed  securities with recourse)
that is comprised of  residential  loans in California was 73% at March 31, 1996
compared to 76% at March 31, 1995, and 73% at December 31, 1995.

     The tables on the following two pages show the Company's  loan portfolio by
state at March 31, 1996 and 1995.

     (a) The Company has no commercial loans.

     (b) Loans  amounting to $288 million were  securitized  with full  recourse
into FNMA mortgage-backed securities during the first quarter of 1995. The March
31, 1995  balances of these  mortgage-backed  securities  are  reflected  in the
amounts above.

 <PAGE>
         The Company  continues to emphasize ARM 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 90% at March 31, 1996, March 31, 1995, and December 31, 1995.  Because
of  increased   competition  from  fixed-rate   mortgages,   the  Company's  ARM
originations  constituted  approximately  77% of new mortgage  loans made in the
first quarter of 1996 compared to 99% in the first three months of 1995.

         The weighted  average  maximum  lifetime cap rate on the Company's ARM
loan portfolio  (including MBS with  recourse) was 13.08%,  or 5.64% above the
actual weighted  average  rate at March 31,  1996,  versus  13.25%,  or 6.07%
above the weighted average rate at March 31, 1995.

         Approximately  $5.2 billion of the Company's loans (including MBS with
recourse)  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,  1996,  $632
million of these ARM loans had reached their rate floors.  The weighted  average
floor  rate on these  loans was  7.79% at March 31,  1996 and 7.74% at March 31,
1995.  Without the floor, the average yield on these loans would have been 7.28%
at March 31, 1996 and 7.02% at March 31, 1995.

         Loan repayments consist of monthly loan amortization, loan payoffs, and
refinances.  For the quarter  ended March 31, 1996,  loan  repayments  were $730
million  compared to $438  million in the same period of 1995.  The  increase in
loan  repayments  was  primarily  due to  higher  mortgage  payoffs  and  higher
refinances within the portfolio.

         MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

         On  January  1,  1996,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 122,  "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" (SFAS
122).  SFAS 122 amends  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 65,
"Accounting  for  Certain  Mortgage  Banking  Activities,"  to require  that any
financial institution  participating in the secondary mortgage market recognize,
as  separate  assets,  rights to service  mortgage  loans for others  when those
rights are acquired through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans
which  are  subsequently  sold or  securitized.  SFAS  122  also  requires  that
financial  institutions  participating  in the secondary  mortgage market assess
capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the fair value of those rights on
a disaggregated  basis. The Company adopted SFAS 122 on January 1, 1996. For the
first  quarter of 1996,  the Company has  recognized  a $4.7 million gain on the
sale of loans due to the  capitalization  of  servicing  rights  under SFAS 122.
After amortization,  the balance at March 31, 1996 of the capitalized  servicing
rights was $4.6 million.

         ASSET QUALITY

         One measure of the soundness of the Company's portfolio is its ratio of
nonperforming  assets  (NPAs) to total  assets.  Nonperforming  assets  included
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  Company's  troubled debt  restructured  (TDRs) is 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.

         The table on the following  page shows the  components of the Company's
nonperforming assets and TDRs, and the ratios to total assets.

        The increase in NPAs during 1996 reflects the continued weakness in the
California  housing  market and  national  trends  toward  higher home  mortgage
delinquencies.  The Company  continues to closely monitor all  delinquencies and
takes  appropriate  steps  to  protect  its  interests.   Interest  foregone  on
non-accrual  loans is  fully-reserved  and  amounted  to $6 million in the first
quarter of 1996  compared  to $5 million  in the same  period of 1995.  Interest
foregone on TDRs  amounted to $368 thousand for the three months ended March 31,
1996, compared to $481 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

         The tables on the following two pages show the Company's  nonperforming
assets by state at March 31, 1996 and 1995.

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

     (b) Loans  amounting to $288 million were  securitized  with full  recourse
into FNMA mortgage-backed securities during the first quarter of 1995. The March
31,  1995  balance of the  related  nonperforming  assets are  reflected  in the
amounts above.

         The Company provides specific valuation  allowances for losses on loans
  when impaired,  including  loans  securitized  into MBS with recourse or loans
  sold  with  recourse,  and on real  estate  owned  when  any  significant  and
  permanent  decline  in  value is  identified.  The  Company  also  utilizes  a
  methodology,  based on trends  in the  basic  portfolio,  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 database 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
  general  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
  possible 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, 1996 and 1995.

         CUSTOMER DEPOSITS

         Customer  deposits  increased  during the first quarter of 1996 by $143
million,  including interest credited of $214 million. In the first three months
of 1995,  customer deposits increased $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.  During the first
quarter of 1996,  rates on  certificates  of deposit  were lower than a year ago
which led to a slowdown  in the  savings  inflows  compared  to the first  three
months of 1995.

March 31, 1996,  compared to $1.9 billion at March 31, 1995, and $1.6 billion at
December 31, 1995. As of March 31, 1996, World'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 $300 million of  subordinated  notes and, at March 31,  1996,  the
full amount was available for issuance. As of March 31, 1996, World had issued a
total of $200  million  of  subordinated  notes,  which  were  rated A2 and A by
Moody's and S&P,  respectively.  The subordinated  notes are included in World's
risk-based regulatory capital as Supplementary Capital.

         STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         The Company's  stockholders'  equity  increased  during the first three
months of 1996 and 1995 as a result  of  retained  earnings.  The  increase  was
partially  offset by the $17 million cost of the repurchase of Company stock and
by a decline in market  values of securities  available for sale since  December
31, 1995.  Unrealized gains on securities and MBS available for sale included in
stockholders' equity at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and December 31, 1995, were $75
million, $41 million, and $76 million, respectively.

         The Company  adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation"  (SFAS 123) on January 1, 1996.
SFAS 123 establishes  accounting and disclosure  requirements using a fair value
based method of accounting for stock based employee  compensation  plans.  Under
SFAS 123,  the  Company  can either  adopt the new fair value  based  accounting
method or  continue  the  intrinsic  value  based  method and  provide pro forma
disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the accounting provisions
of  SFAS  123  had  been  adopted.  The  Company  adopted  only  the  disclosure
requirements of SFAS 123; therefore such adoption has no effect on the Company's
March 31, 1996 consolidated financial statements.

         During  periods of low asset growth,  the Company's  capital ratios may
build to levels  well in  excess of the  amounts  necessary  to meet  regulatory
capital  requirements.  Golden  West's  Board  of  Directors  regularly  reviews
alternative uses of excess capital, including faster growth and acquisitions. At
times, the Board has determined that repurchase of common stock is a wise use of
excess capital.

         Through  three  separate  actions,  Golden  West's  Board of  Directors
authorized  the purchase by the Company of up to 12.2  million  shares of Golden
West's  common  stock.  As of  March  31,  1996,  6.2  million  shares  had been
repurchased  and retired at a cost of $243 million  since  October 28, 1993,  of
which 330 thousand were  purchased  and retired at a cost of $17 million  during
the first three  months of 1996.  Dividends  from World  Savings are expected to
continue to be the major source of funding for the stock repurchase program. The
repurchase of Golden West stock is not intended to have a material impact on the
normal liquidity of the Company.

          In March 1996, World paid a $165 million dividend to Golden West.

         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 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 and
WFSB, to meet certain minimum capital  requirements.  The table on the following
page shows World's  current  regulatory  capital ratios and compares them to the
current OTS minimum requirements at March 31, 1996 and 1995.

        In  addition,  institutions  whose  exposure to  interest  rate risk as
determined  by the OTS is  deemed to be above  normal  may be  required  to hold
additional  risk-based capital. The OTS has determined that the Association does
not have  above-normal  exposure  to  interest  rate  risk.  The OTS has not yet
analyzed WFSB's interest rate risk exposure, although it is the Company's belief
that WFSB does not have above-normal exposure to interest rate risk.

         The  OTS  has  adopted  rules  based  upon  five  capital  tiers:  well
capitalized,    adequately    capitalized,    undercapitalized,    significantly
undercapitalized,  and critically undercapitalized. The determination of whether
an  association  falls into a certain  classification  depends  primarily on its
capital ratios.  The tables on the following pages summarized the capital ratios
for each of the five classifications and shows that World and WFSB met the "well
capitalized" standard as of March 31, 1996.

         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,  which are primarily  adjustable
rate  mortgages.  Most of the Company's  ARMs have interest rates that change in
accordance with an index based on the cost of deposits and borrowings of savings
institutions  that are  members  of the FHLB of San  Francisco  (the  COFI).  In
general,  the repricing of COFI ARM portfolios  tends to lag liability  interest
rate changes because of certain loan features which restrain monthly adjustments
and  because  the COFI  tends  to trail changes  in  liability costs due to the
existence of a two-month  reporting  lag.  During the first quarter of 1996, the
effect of the generally  declining interest rates during the second half of 1995
and early in 1996,  led to a 17 basis point  reduction in the Company's  cost of
funds. During the same period, the yield on the loan portfolio fell by only five
basis points  allowing  for a 12 basis point  increase in the  Company's  spread
since yearend 1995.

         The table on the  following  page  shows  the  Company's  revenues  and
expenses as a percentage of total  revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, in order to focus on the changes in interest income between years
as well as changes in other revenue and expense amounts.

         INTEREST RATE SWAPS AND CAPS

         The Company  enters into  interest rate swaps and caps as a part of its
interest rate risk management strategy. Such instruments are entered into solely
to alter the repricing characteristics of designated assets and liabilities. The
Company does not hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

         Interest rate swap and cap activity decreased net interest income by $4
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996,  compared to a decrease of $9
million for the same period in 1995.

         The table on the following page  summarizes  the  unrealized  gains and
losses for interest rate swaps and caps at March 31, 1996 and 1995.

4.61% to 9.68% and the range of fixed  interest rates paid on swap contracts was
5.38% to 9.14%.
<PAGE>
         INTEREST ON LOANS

         In the first quarter of 1996,  interest on loans was higher than in the
comparable  1995  period by $51  million  or 10.5%.  The  increase  in the first
quarter of 1996 was due to a $719  million  increase  in the  average  portfolio
balance and a 54 basis point increase in the average portfolio yield.

         INTEREST ON MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

         In the first quarter of 1996 interest on mortgage-backed securities was
higher than in the  comparable  1995  period by $36 million or 141.2%.  The 1996
increase was due primarily to a $2.1 billion  increase in the average  portfolio
balance,  which was partially offset by a 65 basis point decrease in the average
portfolio yield. The increase in the mortgage-backed  securities portfolio,  and
the  lower   average   portfolio   yield  were   primarily  the  result  of  the
securitization of adjustable-rate loans with recourse that began in March 1995,
as discussed on page 11.

         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 first quarter of 1996,  interest and dividends on investments  were $113
thousand  or 0.3%  lower  than for the same  period in 1995.  The  decrease  was
primarily due to a 1 basis point decrease in the average  portfolio  yield and a
$341 million decrease in the average portfolio balance.  These decreases were
partially offset by $4.4 million of interest income received on an income tax
refund in 1996. 

         INTEREST ON CUSTOMER DEPOSITS

         In the first quarter of 1996,  interest on customer deposits  increased
by $29 million or 12.5% from the  comparable  period of 1995.  The first quarter
increase was due to a $1.2 billion increase in the average deposit balance and a
23 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits.

         INTEREST ON ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS

         For  the  first  quarter  of  1996,  interest  on  advances  and  other
borrowings  increased  by $17  million or 11.0% from the  comparable  period of
1995. The first quarter increase was primarily due to a $996 million increase in
the average  balance,  which was partially offset by a 7 basis point decrease in
the average cost of these borrowings.

         PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The  provision  for loan losses was $18.5  million for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, compared to $14.8 million for the same period in 1995. The
higher provision in 1996 reflects the increase in non-accrual  loans,  primarily
in California.
<PAGE>
         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         For the first  quarter of 1996,  general  and  administrative  expenses
(G&A) increased by $2.4 million or 3.1% from the comparable  period in 1995. The
primary  reasons for the  increases  in 1996 were growth in savings  offices and
general inflation.  G&A as a percentage of average assets on an annualized basis
was 0.92% for the first quarter compared to 0.96% for the same period in 1995.

         DEPOSIT INSURANCE

         Legislation to capitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF)
in order to bring it into parity with the FDIC's other  insurance fund, the Bank
Insurance  Fund (BIF) was not signed  into law even though it passed both houses
of Congress in 1995.  The  legislation  would have required an assessment of all
SAIF-insured  institutions of  approximately  80 basis points on their March 31,
1995, customer deposit balances. It is not clear when the disparity between SAIF
and BIF will be  resolved,  therefore,  the exact  impact on the Company of that
resolution is unknown at this time.

         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.

         Taxes As a percentage  of earnings  were 39.5% for the first three 
months of 1996 compared to 38.9% for the first three months of 1995.

         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,  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, 1996,  and 1995,  and December 31, 1995, see the cash and
investments section on page 11.
<PAGE>

         WFSB's  principal  sources  of funds  are  cash  flows  generated  from
earnings;  customer  deposits;  loan  repayments;   borrowings  from  the  FHLB;
investments from its parent; and debt collateralized by mortgages or securities.
In  addition,  WFSB has a number  of other  alternatives  available  to  provide
liquidity  or  finance  operations.  These  include  sales of loans,  negotiable
certificates of deposit,  and borrowings from commercial banks. For a discussion
of WFSB's  liquidity  positions  at March 31, 1996,  and 1995,  and December 31,
1995, see the cash and investments section on page 11.

         The  principal  sources  of funds  for  Golden  West (the  Parent)  are
interest  on  investments,  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  and
principal on subordinated debt securities,  capital contributions to its insured
subsidiaries,  dividends to stockholders, the purchase of Golden West stock (see
stockholders'  equity  section  on page  22),  and  general  and  administrative
expenses. At March 31, 1996 and 1995, and December 31, 1995, Golden West's total
cash  and  investments  amounted  to  $857  million  (including  a $700  million
short-term loan to World), $910 million, and $719 million, respectively.

                        Golden West Financial Corporation
                   Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan
                   (As Amended and Restated February 2, 1996)

                                    ARTICLE I

                                     GENERAL
1.       Purpose.

         This 1996 Stock  Option  Plan (the  "Plan")  is  intended  to  increase
incentive  and to  encourage  stock  ownership  on the part of (i)  selected key
employees  of Golden West  Financial  Corporation  (the  "Company")  or of other
corporations which are or become  subsidiaries of the Company,  and (ii) certain
consultants,  advisory  board members,  and other  independent  contractors  who
provide  services  to the  Company  or its  subsidiaries,  but who  are  neither
employees  of the  Company or its  subsidiaries  nor  directors  of the  Company
("consultants").  It is also the purpose of the Plan to provide  such  employees
and consultants with a proprietary  interest,  or to increase their  proprietary
interest,  in the Company and its subsidiaries,  and to encourage them to remain
in the employ of and/or to  increase  their  efforts on behalf of the Company or
its  subsidiaries.  It is intended that certain options granted  pursuant to the
Plan shall constitute  incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")  ("incentive stock
options"), and that certain other options granted pursuant to the Plan shall not
constitute  incentive stock options  ("nonqualified  stock  options").  Prior to
February 2, 1996, the Plan was known as the 1987 Stock Option Plan.

2.       Administration.

         The Plan  shall be  administered  by the Stock  Option  Committee  (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors of Golden West Financial Corporation (the
"Board").  The  Committee  shall  from  time  to  time  at its  discretion  make
determinations  with respect to the persons to whom options shall be granted and
the amount of such options.  The  Committee  shall consist of not fewer than two
members of the Board.  The Committee shall be comprised  solely of Directors who
both are (i)  "outside  directors"  under  section  162(m)  of the Code and (ii)
"disinterested  persons"  under  Rule  16b-3  promulgated  under the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 16b-3").

     The  interpretation  and construction by the Committee of any provisions of
the Plan or of any  option  granted  under it shall be  final.  No member of the
Committee  shall be liable  for any action or  determination  made in good faith
with respect to the Plan or any option granted under it.

3.       Eligibility.

         Subject  to  Section  2 of this  Article  I, the  persons  who shall be
eligible to receive options under the Plan shall be such persons selected by the
Committee from among the officers,  key employees  (including  directors who are
also salaried  employees of the Company) and consultants of the Company,  as may
be  determined  by the  Committee in its sole  discretion.  Notwithstanding  any
contrary  provision  of the Plan,  consultants  shall not be eligible to receive
incentive stock options.
 
        Except where the context  otherwise  requires,  the term  "Company," as
used herein,  shall include (i) Golden West Financial  Corporation and (ii) [any
corporation or any other entity (including, but not limited to, partnerships and
joint ventures) controlling,  controlled by, or under common control with Golden
West Financial  Corporation  (each a "subsidiary  corporation")],  and the terms
"officers,  key employees and  consultants of the Company," and words of similar
import,  shall include  officers,  key employees  and  consultants  of each such
subsidiary  corporation,  as well as officers,  key employees and consultants of
Golden West Financial Corporation.

 4.     Shares of Stock Subject to the Plan.

        The shares that may be issued  under the Plan shall be  authorized  and
unissued  or  reacquired  shares of the  Company's  common  stock  (the  "Common
Stock"). The aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the Plan shall
not exceed 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock, unless an adjustment is required in
accordance with Article III.

<PAGE>
         If an option expires or is cancelled for any reason without having been
fully  exercised  or vested,  the number of shares  subject to such option which
were not purchased or did not vest prior to such expiration or cancellation  may
again be made subject to an option granted hereunder (to the same person or to a
different person).

         5. Amendment of the Plan.

         The Board, in its sole discretion,  may amend or terminate the Plan, or
any part thereof, at any time and for any reason.  However, if and to the extent
required  to  maintain  the  Plan's  qualification  under Rule  16b-3,  any such
amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval. The amendment or termination
of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the option holder, alter or impair
any  rights  or  obligations  under  any  option  theretofore  granted  to  such
individual.

         6. Term of Plan.

         The Plan, as amended and restated herein,  shall remain in effect until
amended or terminated  by the Board in  accordance  with Section 5 of Article I.
However, without further stockholder approval, no option which is intended to be
an incentive stock option may be granted under the Plan after February 1, 2006.

7.       Restrictions.

         All options  granted under the Plan shall be subject to the requirement
that, if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion,  that the
listing,  registration or qualification of the shares subject to options granted
under the Plan upon any  securities  exchange or under any state or federal law,
or the consent or approval of any  government  regulatory  body, is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such options
or the  issuance,  if any, or purchase of shares in connection  therewith,  such
options  may  not  be  exercised  in  whole  or in  part  unless  such  listing,
registration,  qualification,  consent or approval  shall have been  effected or
obtained  free  of  any  conditions   not   acceptable  to  the  Committee.   8.
Nonassignability.

9.       Withholding Taxes.

         Whenever  shares of Common Stock are to be issued  under the Plan,  the
Company  shall have the right to require the optionee to remit to the Company an
amount   sufficient  to  satisfy  federal,   state  and  local  withholding  tax
requirements  prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates  for such
shares.

10.      Definition of "Fair Market Value."

         For the purposes of this Plan,  the term "Fair Market Value," when used
in  reference  to the date of grant of an  option  or the date of  surrender  of
Common Stock in payment for the  purchase of shares  pursuant to the exercise of
an option,  as the case may be,  shall mean the closing sale price of the Common
Stock quoted on the Composite Tape for New York Stock  Exchange--Listed  Stocks,
as  published  in "The Wall Street  Journal,"  or if no sale price was quoted on
such  date,  then as of the next  preceding  date on which such a sale price was
quoted.  If the Common Stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange,  Fair
Market  Value shall mean the mean  between the highest and lowest sale prices on
the principal United States securities  exchange registered under the Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934 on which such stock is listed,  as  published in "The Wall
Street Journal" and determined by the Committee, or, if such stock is not listed
on any such  securities  exchange,  the mean between the highest and lowest sale
prices or bid quotations  with respect to a share of such stock on the date such
option is  granted on the  National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc.
Automated  Quotations  System or any successor system or, if no such sale prices
or quotations are available,  the Fair Market Value on the date in question of a
share of such stock as determined in good faith by the Committee.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                  STOCK OPTIONS
1.       Award of Stock Options.

         Awards of stock  options may be made under the Plan under all the terms
and  conditions  contained  herein.  However,  the  aggregate  Fair Market Value
(determined  as of the  date of  grant)  of the  stock  with  respect  to  which
incentive  stock options are  exercisable  for the first time by such officer or
key employee during any calendar year (under all incentive stock option plans of
the  Company  and its  parent  and  subsidiary  corporations)  shall not  exceed
$100,000. The nature of options under the foregoing sentence shall be determined
by taking  options into account in the order in which they were  granted.  In no
event shall an option  constitute an incentive stock option if, at the time such
option is granted,  the terms of the option provide that it shall not constitute
an incentive stock option.  The date on which any option is granted shall be the
date of the Committee's authorization of such grant or such later date as may be
determined  by the  Committee at the time such grant is  authorized.  2. Term of
Options and Effect of Termination.

         Notwithstanding  any other  provision  of the Plan,  no option  granted
under the Plan shall be exercisable  after the expiration of ten (10) years from
the date of its grant. In addition,  notwithstanding  any other provision of the
Plan, no incentive  stock option  granted under the Plan to a person who, at the
time such option is granted and in accordance  with Section  424(d) of the Code,
owns stock  possessing  more than 10% of the total combined  voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company  shall be  exercisable  after the  expiration of
five (5) years from the date of its grant. 3. Terms and Conditions of Options.

         Options  granted  pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by agreements
in  such  form as the  Committee  shall  from  time  to  time  determine,  which
agreements  shall  contain  such  terms  and  conditions  as  determined  by the
Committee in its sole  discretion and which also shall comply with the following
terms and conditions.

         (A) Optionee's Agreement.

         Each  optionee  shall agree to remain in the employ of and/or to render
to the Company his or her  services  for a period of two (2) years from the date
of the  option,  but such  agreement  shall  not  impose  upon the  Company  any
obligation to retain the optionee in its employee and/or service for any period.

         (B) Number of Shares and Type of Option.

         Each  option  agreement  shall  state the number of shares to which the
option  pertains  and whether the option is  intended to be an  incentive  stock
option or a nonqualified  stock option.  During any calendar year, no individual
shall be granted options  covering more than 300,000 shares.  An option which is
intended to be an incentive  stock  option may be granted only to an  individual
who on the grant date is an employee of Golden West Financial  Corporation or of
a corporation which constitutes a subsidiary  corporation (within the meaning of
Section 424(f) of the Code) of Golden West Financial Corporation.

         (C) Option Price.

         Each option  agreement  shall state the option  price per share (or the
method by which such price shall be computed).  The option price per share shall
not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on
the date such option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the option price
per share of an incentive  stock option  granted to a person who, on the date of
such  grant and in  accordance  with  Section  424(d) of the  Code,  owns  stock
possessing  more than 10% of the total  combined  voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company  shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market  Value of a
share of the Common Stock on the date that the option is granted.

         (D) Medium and Time of Payment.

         The option price shall be payable upon the exercise of an option in the
legal tender of the United States or, in the discretion of the Committee, (i) by
tendering  previously  acquired  shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at
the time of exercise equal to the total option price, or (ii) by any other means
which the Committee,  in its sole  discretion,  determines to both provide legal
consideration  for the shares,  and to be  consistent  with the  purposes of the
Plan. Upon receipt of payment, the Company shall deliver to the optionee (or the
person  entitled to exercise the option) a certificate or  certificates  for the
shares of Common Stock to which the option pertains.
<PAGE>

         (E) Exercise of Options.

         Each option shall state the time or times when it becomes  exercisable,
which  shall  be  determined  by  the  Committee.  The  Committee  may,  in  its
discretion, waive any vesting provisions contained in an option agreement.

         To the extent that an option has become  vested  (except as provided in
Article III), and subject to the foregoing restrictions,  it may be exercised in
whole or in such lesser  amount as may be  authorized  by the option  agreement;
provided, however, that no partial exercise of an option shall be for fewer than
fifty (50) shares of Common Stock. If exercised in part, the unexercised portion
of an option shall  continue to be held by the optionee  and may  thereafter  be
exercised as herein provided.

         (F) Termination and Transfer of Options.

         In  connection  with the  grant  of any  option  under  the  Plan,  the
Committee may provide in the option  agreement for the termination of all or any
portion of an option under certain circumstances, including, without limitation,
termination of the recipient's employment or service as a result of resignation,
retirement, disability or death, or for cause, and may distinguish among various
causes of  termination  as the Committee  deems  appropriate.  In addition,  the
Committee may provide,  through an option  agreement or  otherwise,  that in the
event an optionee's employment (or other service for the Company) is terminated,
(i)  such  optionee's   options  may  be  exercised  (by  the  optionee  or,  if
appropriate,  his or her beneficiary or personal  representative)  for specified
periods  thereafter  within the option  period,  or (ii) to the extent not fully
exercisable or otherwise vested on the termination date, such optionee's options
may continue to become exercisable within the option period.

                                   ARTICLE III

                      RECAPITALIZATION AND REORGANIZATIONS

         The  number  of shares of Common  Stock  covered  by the Plan,  and the
number  of  shares  and price  per  share of each  outstanding  option  shall be
proportionately  adjusted  for any  increase or decrease in the number of issued
and  outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock  resulting  from  a  subdivision  or
consolidation  of  shares  or the  payment  of a stock  dividend,  or any  other
increase or decrease  in the number of issued and  outstanding  shares of Common
Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.

         If the  Company  shall be the  surviving  corporation  in any merger or
consolidation,  each  outstanding  option  shall  pertain  to and  apply  to the
securities  to which a holder of the same number of shares of Common  Stock that
are  subject  to  that  option  would  have  been  entitled.  A  dissolution  or
liquidation of the Company or a merger or  consolidation in which the Company is
not the surviving  corporation (a  "Terminating  Transaction")  shall cause each
outstanding option to terminate, unless the agreement of merger or consolidation
shall otherwise provide; provided, however, that each optionee in the event of a
Terminating  Transaction  which will cause his or her option to terminate  shall
have the right  immediately  prior to such  Terminating  Transaction to exercise
such  option  in  whole  or  in  part,   subject  to  every  limitation  on  the
exercisability of such option, other than any vesting provisions not required by
the Code.

         To the  extent  that  the  foregoing  adjustments  relate  to  stock or
securities  of the Company,  such  adjustments  shall be made by the  Committee,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.

         The grant of an option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way
the  right or  power  of the  Company  to make  adjustments,  reclassifications,
reorganizations  or changes of its capital or business  structure or to merge or
to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of
its business or assets.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

1.       Rights as a Stockholder.

         An  optionee  or a  transferee  of an option  shall have no rights as a
stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares covered by an option until
the date of the  receipt of  payment  (including  any  amounts  required  by the
Company pursuant to Section 9 of Article I) by the Company.  No adjustment shall
be made as to any option for dividends  (ordinary or  extraordinary,  whether in
cash,  securities or other property) or  distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to such date,  except as  provided  in Article  III. 2.
Other Provisions.

         The option  agreements  authorized  under the Plan shall  contain  such
other provisions, including, without limitation,  restrictions upon the exercise
of the option or restrictions required by any applicable securities laws, as the
Committee shall deem advisable. 3. Application of Funds.

         The  proceeds  received  by the Company  from the sale of Common  Stock
pursuant to the exercise of options will be used for general corporate purposes.

4.       No Obligation to Exercise Option.

         he granting of an option shall impose no obligation upon the optionee 
or a transferee of the option to exercise such option.
