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, 1997, as well as certain material changes in results of operations during
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
The following narrative is written with the presumption that the users
have read or have access to the Company's 1997 Annual Report on 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, 1997, and for the year then ended.
Therefore, only material changes in financial condition and results of
operations are discussed herein.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
Effective January 1, 1998, Golden West adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130), which
requires that an enterprise report, by major components and as a single total,
the change in its net assets during the period from nonowner sources.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). This Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. This Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company has not yet completed a full
assessment of the impact of this statement on its financial statements and
results of operations.

</TABLE>
As the above table shows, deposits represent the majority of the
Company's liabilities. The largest asset component is mortgage-backed securities
and 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."
<PAGE>
The following gap table shows that, as of June 30, 1998, the Company's
assets reprice sooner than its liabilities. If all repricing assets and
liabilities responded equally to changes in the interest rate environment, then
the gap analysis would suggest that the Company's earnings would rise when
interest rates increase and would fall when interest rates decrease. However,
the Company's earnings are also affected by the built-in reporting and repricing
lags inherent in the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index (COFI), which is the
index Golden West uses to determine the rate on the majority of its adjustable
rate mortgages (ARMs). The reporting lag occurs because of the time it takes to
gather the data needed to compute the index. As a result, the COFI in effect in
any month actually reflects the Eleventh District's cost of funds at the level
it was two months prior. The repricing lag occurs because COFI is based on a
portfolio of accounts, not all of which reprice immediately. Therefore, COFI
does not initially fully reflect a change in market interest rates.
Consequently, when the interest rate environment changes, the COFI lags cause
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 World Savings Bank, FSB (WFSB), and World Savings and Loan Association
(WSL) to maintain a minimum amount of cash and certain qualifying investments
for liquidity purposes. As of December 1, 1997, the current minimum requirement
was changed from a monthly to a quarterly calculation and is either equal to 4%
of the quarterly average of daily balances of short-term deposits and borrowings
or 4% of the prior quarter's ending balance of short-term deposits and
borrowings. For all other months during 1997, the minimum liquidity requirement
was calculated monthly and was equal to 5% of the monthly average of deposits
and short-term borrowings. WFSB's regulatory liquidity ratios were 16% and 11%
for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. WFSB's
regulatory average liquidity ratio was 5.5% for the month ended June 30, 1997.
WSL's regulatory liquidity ratios were 15% and 12% for the quarters ended June
30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. WSL's regulatory average liquidity
ratio was 7% for the month ended June 30, 1997. The increase in the average
liquidity ratios at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, as compared to June 30,
1997, was due to a change in the revised OTS liquidity regulation which expanded
the assets qualifying for the calculation.
At June 30, 1998 and 1997, and December 31, 1997, the Company had
securities available for sale in the amount of $416 million, $601 million, and
$609 million, respectively, including unrealized gains on securities available
for sale of $260 million, $203 million, and $245 million, respectively. At June
30, 1998 and 1997, and December 31, 1997, the Company had no securities held to
maturity or for trading in its investment securities portfolio.
Included in the securities available for sale at June 30, 1998 and
1997, and December 31, 1997, were collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) in
the amount of $45 million, $96 million, and $71 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 June 30, 1998, all CMOs
qualified for inclusion in the regulatory liquidity measurement.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
At June 30, 1998 and 1997, and December 31, 1997, the Company had
mortgage-backed securities (MBS) held to maturity in the amount of $9.0 billion,
$3.8 billion, and $3.8 billion, respectively, including Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA) MBS subject to full credit recourse to the Company
of $4.5 billion at June 30, 1998, $3.1 billion at June 30, 1997 and $3.0 billion
at December 31, 1997 and including $3.8 billion of securities issued by a Real
Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC). At June 30, 1998 and 1997, and
December 31, 1997, the Company had mortgage-backed securities available for sale
in the amount of $136 million, $207 million, and $157 million, respectively,
including unrealized gains on MBS available for sale of $6 million, $8 million,
and $8 million, respectively. At June 30, 1998 and 1997 and December 31, 1997,
the Company had no trading MBS.
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company securitized $3.9 billion of
mortgage loans into a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit. Securities issued
by the REMIC are being used as collateral for advances from the FHLB of Dallas.
The securities issued by the REMIC are classified as MBS held to maturity.
<PAGE>
During the first and second quarters of 1998, the Company securitized
$501 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, of adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs)
into FNMA COFI-indexed MBS. During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company
desecuritized $856 million of FNMA COFI-indexed MBS in November and securitized
$1.0 billion of ARMs into FNMA COFI-indexed MBS in December. The Company has the
ability and intent to hold these MBS until maturity and, accordingly, these MBS
are classified as held to maturity. The FNMA MBS held to maturity are available
to be used as collateral for borrowings and are subject to full credit recourse
to the Company.
Repayments of MBS during the second quarter and first six months of
1998 were $367 million and $516 million, respectively, compared to $133 million
and $239 million in the same periods of 1997. MBS repayments were higher during
the first six months of 1998 as compared to the first six months of 1997 due to
an increase in total MBS outstanding and an increase in prepayments on the
underlying mortgages.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
LOAN VOLUME
New loan originations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
amounted to $2.1 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, compared to $2.2
billion and $3.5 billion for the same periods in 1997. The 1998 loan volume was
similar to the 1997 loan volume due to a continued strong housing market and
lower interest rates causing more borrowers to refinance. Refinanced loans
constituted 42% and 43% of new loan originations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, compared to 31% and 33% for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997.
Loans originated for sale amounted to $212 million and $334 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to $45 million
and $99 million for the same periods in 1997. The Company continues to sell most
of its fixed-rate originations.
The Company has lending operations in 26 states. The primary source of
mortgage origination is loans secured by residential properties in California.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, 62% and 61%, respectively, of
total loan originations were on residential properties in California compared to
53% and 52% for the same periods in 1997. The five largest states, other than
California, for originations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
were Florida, Texas, Colorado, Illinois and New Jersey with a combined total of
20% and 21% of total originations, respectively. The percentage of the total
loan portfolio (excluding mortgage-backed securities with recourse) that is
comprised of residential loans in California was 56% at June 30, 1998 compared
to 67% at June 30, 1997, and 63% at December 31, 1997. The percentage of the
total loan portfolio (including mortgage-backed securities with recourse) that
is comprised of residential loans in California was 66% at June 30, 1998
compared to 67% at June 30, 1997, and 66% at December 31, 1997.

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 92% at June 30, 1998 and 1997, compared to 93% at December 31, 1997.
The portion of the mortgage portfolio (including MBS) composed of rate-sensitive
loans was 92% at June 30, 1998 compared to 91% at June 30, 1997 and December 31,
1997. The Company's ARM originations for the first half of 1998 constituted 87%
of new mortgage loans made in 1998 compared to over 95% in the first half of
1997.
The weighted average maximum lifetime cap rate on the Company's ARM
loan portfolio (including MBS with recourse) was 12.67%, or 5.31% above the
actual weighted average rate at June 30, 1998, versus 12.81%, or 5.55% above the
weighted average rate at June 30, 1997.
Approximately $5.1 billion of the Company's ARM 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 or assumption. As of June 30,
1998, $522 million of ARM loans had reached their rate floors. The weighted
average floor rate on the loans that had reached their floor was 7.74% at June
30, 1998 compared to 7.73% at June 30, 1997. Without the floor, the average
yield on these loans would have been 7.16% at June 30, 1998 and 7.09% at June
30, 1997.
Loan repayments consist of monthly loan amortization, loan payoffs, and
refinances. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, loan repayments
were $1.7 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively, compared to $940 million and
$1.6 billion in the same periods of 1997. The increase in prepayments for the
first half of 1998 as compared to the first six months of 1997 was due to an
apparent surge in refinance activity.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
The Company accounts for mortgage servicing rights in accordance with
SFAS 122 and SFAS 125. For the first quarter and first six months of 1998, the
Company recognized gains of $4.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively, on the
sale of loans due to the capitalization of servicing rights compared to $1.1
million and $2.1 million for the same periods in 1997. After amortization, the
balance at June 30, 1998 and 1997 of the capitalized servicing rights was $15.7
million and $10.0 million, respectively. The book value of Golden West's
servicing rights did not exceed the fair value at June 30, 1998 or 1997 and,
therefore, no write-down of the servicing rights to their fair value was
necessary.

ASSET QUALITY
One measure of the soundness of the Company's portfolio is its ratio of
nonperforming assets (NPAs) to total assets. Nonperforming assets includes
non-accrual loans (loans, including loans swapped into MBS with recourse, 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 payments have been
capitalized or on which temporary interest rate reductions have been made,
primarily to customers adversely impacted by economic conditions.
The following table shows the components of the Company's nonperforming
assets and troubled debt restructured and the various ratios to total assets.

The decrease in NPAs during 1998 reflects the improving California
economy. 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 $2 million and $5 million in the second
quarter and first six months of 1998 compared to $4 million and $9 million for
the same periods of 1997. Interest foregone on TDRs amounted to $241 thousand
and $527 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to
$555 thousand and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997.

<PAGE>
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 June 30, 1998 and 1997.

DEPOSITS
Retail deposits increased during the second quarter of 1998 by $434
million, including interest credited of $263 million, compared to an increase of
$419 million, including interest credited of $238 million, in the second quarter
of 1997. Retail deposits increased during the first half of 1998 by $1.4
billion, including interest credited of $508 million, compared to an increase of
$866 million, including interest credited of $464 million, in the first half of
1997. Retail deposits increased during the first six months of 1998 and 1997
primarily due to ongoing marketing efforts and competitive rates offered by the
Company on its insured accounts. In addition, the Company began actively
promoting market rate transaction accounts during the second half of 1997, which
continued during the first half of 1998.
<PAGE>
Beginning in January 1997, the Company began a program to use brokers
to sell certificates of deposit (CDs) to institutional investors. There were no
outstanding wholesale CDs at June 30, 1998 as compared to $1.1 billion at June
30, 1997.

ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS
The Company uses borrowings from the FHLB, also known as "advances," to
supplement cash flow and to provide funds for loan origination activities.
Advances are secured by pledges of certain loans and capital stock of the FHLB.
FHLB advances amounted to $7.5 billion at June 30, 1998, compared to $7.4
billion and $8.5 billion at June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1997, respectively.
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company notified the FHLB of San Francisco
that it would pay off, before maturity, $2.9 billion of high-cost advances and,
as a result, incurred a $13 million pre-tax charge during the first quarter of
1998 for the penalties associated with these prepayments. See Extraordinary Item
discussion on page 30. During July 1998, the Company notified the FHLB that it
would pay off an additional $1.5 billion, before maturity, of FHLB advances and,
as a result, will incur an additional $8 million pre-tax charge during the third
quarter of 1998 for the penalties associated with these prepayments.
SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE
The Company borrows funds through transactions in which securities are
sold under agreements to repurchase (Reverse Repos). Reverse Repos are entered
into with selected major government securities dealers, large banks, and the
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, typically using MBS from the Company's
portfolio. Reverse Repos with dealers, banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank of
San Francisco amounted to $1.8 billion, $3.0 billion, and $2.3 billion at June
30, 1998 and 1997, and December 31, 1997, respectively.
The Company uses accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities in accordance
with SFAS 125 and SFAS 127. The Company adopted SFAS 127 on January 1, 1998 and
the adoption of SFAS 127 had no effect on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations.
OTHER BORROWINGS
At June 30, 1998, Golden West, at the holding company level, had a
total of $911 million of subordinated debt issued and outstanding. As of June
30, 1998, the Company's subordinated debt securities were rated A3 and A- by
Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) and Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P),
respectively. At June 30, 1998, Golden West had on file a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale of up to $300 million
of subordinated notes.
WSL also has on file a registration statement with the OTS for the sale
of up to $300 million of subordinated notes and, at June 30, 1998, the full
amount was available for issuance. As of June 30, 1998, WSL had a total of $100
million of subordinated notes issued and outstanding, which were rated A2 and A
by Moody's and S&P, respectively. The subordinated notes are included in WSL's
risk-based regulatory capital as Supplementary Capital.
WSL currently has on file a shelf registration with the OTS for the
issuance of $2.0 billion of unsecured medium-term notes, all of which was
available for issuance at June 30, 1998. WSL had no medium-term notes
outstanding under prior registrations at June 30, 1998, compared to $310 million
at June 30, 1997, and $110 million at December 31, 1997. As of June 30, 1998,
WSL's medium-term notes had a preliminary rating of A1 and A+ by Moody's and
S&P, respectively.
<PAGE>
During November 1996, WFSB received permission from the OTS to issue
non-convertible medium-term notes to institutional investors under rules similar
to Office of the Comptroller of the Currency rules applicable to similarly
situated national banks. As of June 30, 1998, WFSB had not issued any notes
under this authority.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company's stockholders' equity increased by $226 million during the
first six months of 1998. The increase in stockholders' equity was a result of
net earnings for the first six months of 1998 and an $8 million increase in
market values of securities available for sale since December 31, 1997,
partially offset by the payment of $14 million in quarterly dividends to
stockholders. The Company's stockholders' equity increased by $140 million
during the first six months of 1997. The increase in stockholders' equity was
primarily as a result of net earnings for the first six months of 1997 and a $25
million increase in market values of securities available for sale since
December 31, 1996, which were partially offset by the $45 million cost of the
purchase of Company stock and the payment of $13 million in quarterly dividends
to stockholders. Unrealized gains net of taxes on securities and MBS available
for sale included in stockholders' equity at June 30, 1998 and 1997, and
December 31, 1997, were $157 million, $125 million, and $150 million,
respectively.
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 periodically reviews
alternative uses of excess capital, including faster growth and acquisitions. At
times, the Board has determined that the purchase of the Company's common stock
is a wise use of excess capital.
Since 1993, through three separate actions, Golden West's Board of
Directors has authorized the purchase by the Company of up to 12.2 million
shares of Golden West's common stock. As of June 30, 1998, 8.5 million shares
had been purchased and retired at a cost of $380 million since October 1993. The
Company did not purchase any stock during the first six months of 1998.
Dividends from subsidiaries are expected to continue to be the major source of
funding for the stock repurchase program. The purchase of Golden West stock is
not intended to have a material impact on the normal liquidity of the Company.
WSL paid a $100 million dividend to Golden West in March and $100
million in June 1998. In addition, WSL has received approval from the OTS to pay
up to $150 million more in upstream dividends to Golden West. Also, Golden West
purchased from WSL, and subsequently contributed as capital to WFSB, $100
million of loans during the first quarter of 1998 and $100 million in loans
during the second quarter of 1998.
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.
<PAGE>
REGULATORY CAPITAL
The OTS requires federally insured institutions, such as WFSB and WSL, to
meet certain minimum capital requirements. Effective March 31, 1998, FIRREA's
old 3% minimum requirement for Core (or Leverage) Capital has been superseded by
a 4% minimum requirement under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA).
The following table shows WFSB's regulatory capital ratios and compares
them to the OTS minimum requirements at June 30, 1998 and 1997.

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 neither WFSB nor WSL
has 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. As of June 30, 1998, the most recent notification from the OTS
categorized both WFSB and WSL as "well capitalized" under the current
requirements. There are no conditions or events that have occurred since that
notification that the Company believes would have an impact on the
categorization of either WFSB or WSL.

The table below shows that WFSB's regulatory capital exceeds the
requirements of the well capitalized classification at June 30, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET EARNINGS
Net earnings before an extraordinary item (see extraordinary item
discussion on page 30) for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $227 million
compared to net earnings of $171 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Net earnings after the extraordinary item for the six months ended June 30, 1998
were $219 million compared to net earnings of $171 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Net earnings for the first half of 1998 included a gain of
$13 million before tax from the redemption of preferred stock which was called
by the issuer. In addition to the stock gain, net earnings increased in 1998 as
compared 1997 as a result of increased net interest income and a decrease in the
provision for loan losses. These increases to net earnings were partially offset
by an increase in general and administrative expense.
<PAGE>
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Golden West calculates Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) and Diluted EPS
in accordance with SFAS 128. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings
for the period by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for that
period. Diluted EPS takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such
as stock options, but uses the average share price for the period in determining
the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted average
number of shares outstanding. The Company's Basic EPS before the extraordinary
item and the preferred stock gain of $.13 per share for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1998 were $1.91 and $3.96, respectively, as compared to
$1.53 and $2.99 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997,
respectively. Basic EPS after the extraordinary item and including the preferred
stock gain for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 were $2.04 and
$3.83, respectively, as compared to $1.53 and $2.99, for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. The Company reported Diluted EPS
(before the extraordinary item and the preferred stock gain) of $1.88 and $3.91,
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $1.51 and $2.94
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. Diluted EPS after the
extraordinary item and the preferred stock gain for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1998 were $2.01 and $3.78, respectively, as compared to $1.51 and
$2.94 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.
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 June 30,
1998 and 1997, and December 31, 1997.

The Company originates ARMs to manage the rate sensitivity of the asset
side of the balance sheet. 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). Nevertheless, the yield on the Company's ARM portfolio tends to lag
changes in market interest rates because of lags related to the index and
because of certain loan features. These features include introductory rates on
new ARM loans, the interest rate adjustment frequency of ARM loans, interest
rate caps or limits on individual rate changes and interest rate floors. On
balance, COFI and ARM structural features cause the Company's assets initially
to reprice more slowly than its liabilities, resulting in a temporary reduction
in net interest income when rates increase.
The following table shows the Company's revenues and expenses as a
percentage of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997, 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
The Company enters into interest rate swaps 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 activity decreased net interest income by $2 million
and $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to
a decrease of $1 million and $2 million for the same periods in 1997.

<PAGE>
INTEREST ON LOANS
In the second quarter of 1998, interest on loans was higher than in the
comparable 1997 period by $3.5 million or 0.6%. The increase in the second
quarter of 1998 was due to a 13 basis point increase in the average portfolio
yield, partially offset by a $340 million decrease in the average portfolio
balance. For the first half of 1998, interest on loans was higher than in the
comparable 1997 period by $67 million or 5.9%. The increase was due to a $1.2
billion increase in the average portfolio balance and a 13 basis point increase
in the average portfolio yield.
INTEREST ON MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
In the second quarter of 1998, interest on mortgage-backed securities was
higher than in the comparable 1997 period by $33 million or 45.8%. The 1998
increase was due primarily to an $1.9 billion increase in the average portfolio
balance. For the first half of 1998, interest on mortgage-backed securities was
higher than in the comparable 1997 period by $30 million or 20.7% due primarily
to an $835 million increase in the average portfolio balance and a four basis
point increase in the average portfolio yield.
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 1998, interest and dividends on investments was higher
than in the comparable 1997 period by $14 million or 39.9%. The increase was
primarily due to a $882 million increase in the average portfolio balance, which
was partially offset by a 5 basis point decrease in the average portfolio yield.
For the first half of 1998, interest and dividends on investments was higher
than in the comparable 1997 period by $33 million or 48.9%. The increase was
primarily due to a $1.1 billion increase in the average portfolio balance and a
two basis point increase in the average portfolio yield.
INTEREST ON DEPOSITS
In the second quarter of 1998, interest on deposits increased by $27
million or 9.2% from the comparable period in 1997. In the first half of 1998,
interest on deposits increased by $62 million or 10.8% from the comparable
period in 1997. The second quarter increase was due to a $2.2 billion increase
in the average balance of deposits, which was partially offset by a 2 basis
point decrease in the average cost of deposits. The six month increase was
primarily due to a $2.4 billion increase in the average balance of deposits and
a 2 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits.
INTEREST ON ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS
For the second quarter and first half of 1998, interest on advances and
other borrowings increased by $1 million or 0.4% and $22 million or 6.1%,
respectively, from the comparable periods of 1997. The second quarter increase
was primarily due to a seven basis point increase in the average cost of these
borrowings, which was partially offset by a $102 million decrease in the average
balance. The six month increase was primarily due to a $486 million increase in
the average balance and a 12 basis point increase in the average cost of these
borrowings.
<PAGE>
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses was $3 million and $6 million,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $13
million and $34 million for the same periods in 1997. The lower provision in
1998 was due to lower chargeoffs resulting from the strong California housing
market and declining nonperforming assets.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
For the second quarter and first half of 1998, general and
administrative expenses (G&A) was $87 million and $171 million, respectively,
compared to $79 million and $158 million for the comparable periods in 1997. G&A
as a percentage of average assets on an annualized basis was .88% and .86%,
respectively, for the second quarter and first half of 1998 compared to .81% and
.82%, respectively, for the same periods in 1997. Expenses are likely to rise in
subsequent quarters because of the seasonal increase in mortgage activity during
the summer months, the ongoing expansion of the Company's branch system, and the
implementation of a variety of technology initiatives including addressing the
"Year 2000 " computer issue (see Year 2000 discussion on page 32).
EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company notified the FHLB of San
Francisco that it intended to retire before maturity, $2.9 billion of high-cost
FHLB advances. As a result, the Company incurred a $13 million pretax charge in
the first quarter of 1998 for the penalties associated with the prepayments.
Golden West will replace the prepaid FHLB advances with new low-cost obligations
that will produce more favorable interest expense for the Company over the next
five years.
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 before the extraordinary item were
39.3% and 39.6%, respectively, for the second quarter and first half of 1998
compared to 39.7% and 39.6%, respectively, for the same periods a year ago.
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
WFSB's principal sources of funds are cash flows generated from
earnings; deposits; loan repayments; negotiable certificates of deposit,
borrowings from the FHLB; investments and borrowings from its affiliates; debt
collateralized by mortgages, MBS, or securities; and the issuance of medium-term
notes. In addition, WFSB has other alternatives available to provide liquidity
or finance operations including borrowings from public offerings of debt, sales
of loans, issuances of commercial paper, and borrowings from commercial banks.
Furthermore, under certain conditions, WFSB 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 WFSB's
liquidity positions at June 30, 1998, and 1997, and December 31, 1997, see the
Cash and Investments section on page 12.
WSL's principal sources of funds are cash flows generated from
earnings; deposits; loan repayments; borrowings from the FHLB; debt
collateralized by mortgages, MBS, or securities; and the issuance of medium-term
notes. In addition, WSL has a number of other alternatives available to provide
liquidity or finance operations. These include borrowings from its affiliates,
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 WSL's liquidity positions at June 30, 1998, and 1997, and December
31, 1997, see the Cash and Investments section on page 12.
The principal sources of funds for WFSB's and WSL's parent, Golden
West, are dividends from subsidiaries, interest on investments, and the proceeds
from the issuance of debt and equity securities. Various statutory and
regulatory restrictions and tax considerations limit the amount of dividends
WFSB and WSL can pay. The principal liquidity needs of Golden West are for
payment of interest and principal on subordinated debt securities (of which $200
million mature in 1998), capital contributions to its insured subsidiaries
(including $311 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and $284 million
for the year ended December 31, 1997 to WFSB), dividends to stockholders, the
purchase of Golden West stock (see stockholders' equity section on page 23), and
general and administrative expenses. At June 30, 1998 and 1997, and December 31,
1997, Golden West's total cash and investments amounted to $750 million, $900
million, and $965 million, respectively. Included in the June 30, 1998 and 1997,
and December 31, 1997 amounts is a $600 million long-term loan to WFSB.
<PAGE>
YEAR 2000
The Company is aware of the system challenges that the Year 2000 has
created and currently has a plan in place to insure that all of the Company's
mission critical systems will be Year 2000 compliant by early 1999. The plan has
been developed in accordance with guidance set forth by federal banking
regulators in a series of jointly-issued policy statements. The Company has
completed an inventory and assessment of its systems. The Company is currently
in the process of testing and modifying or replacing systems that may be
affected by these Year 2000 compliance issues (Year 2000 Project.) Included in
this process are both information technology systems and other systems (e.g.
elevators, doorlocks) that could be affected by Year 2000 issues. The Company
has placed priority on information technology systems affecting its core
business of deposit-taking and lending. Testing of individual systems for the
ability to function during the Year 2000 has been started, with such testing to
be substantially completed by December 31, 1998. During the first quarter of
1999, the Company will commence integrated testing and ascertain that all
systems function together. All systems affecting the Company's core business are
scheduled to be Year 2000 compliant by June 1999.
While the Company believes it is doing everything technologically
possible to assure Year 2000 compliance, the success of the Year 2000 Project is
to some extent dependent upon vendor cooperation. The Company is requiring its
computer systems and software vendors to represent that the products provided
are or will be Year 2000 compliant and has planned a program of testing for
compliance. Such testing is included in the testing previously described in this
section. To date, the Company has no indication that its principal vendors or
their systems will adversely affect the Company's Year 2000 compliance efforts.
The Company currently estimates that over the next two years, it will
cost approximately $19 million to make all of its computer systems Year 2000
compliant. The Company will expense all costs associated with the Year 2000
Project and expects to fund such costs through operating cash flows. The Year
2000 Project expense incurred during the first half of 1998 was $4 million.
Included in the $19 million are estimates for compensation of employees
dedicated to the Year 2000 Project, consultants, hardware and software expense
and depreciation of the equipment purchased as part of this process. However,
the Company's Year 2000 expenses are not expected to result in a dollar for
dollar increase in the Company's overall information systems expenditures
because the Company is likely to dedicate a number of its existing resources
solely to the Year 2000 Project.
The Company believes that its Year 2000 Project will result in the
Company's systems functioning normally, without adverse consequences. While the
systems of others, with whom and through which the Company conducts business,
are not within the Company's control, the Year 2000 Project is intended to
provide the Company with sufficient advance warning that such systems will not
perform. In the unlikely event of a system problem, the Company has developed
contingency plans to address the potential that one or more systems might fail,
despite efforts to the contrary.
<PAGE>
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Golden West estimates the sensitivity of the Company's net interest
income, net earnings, and capital ratios to interest rate changes based on
simulations using an asset/liability model which takes into account the lags
described on pages 11 and 27. The simulation model projects net interest income,
net earnings, and capital ratios based on an immediate interest rate increase
that is sustained for a thirty-six month period. The model is based on the
actual maturity and repricing characteristics of interest-rate sensitive assets
and liabilities. For certain assets, the model incorporates assumptions
regarding the impact of changing interest rates on prepayment rates which are
based on the Company's historical prepayment information. The model factors in
projections for anticipated activity levels by product lines offered by the
Company. Based on the information and assumptions in effect at June 30, 1998,
Management believes that a 200 basis point rate increase sustained over a
thirty-six month period would not affect the Company's long-term profitability
and financial strength.
