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, 1998, as well as certain material changes in results of operations during
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
The following narrative is written with the presumption that the users
have read or have access to the Company's 1998 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, 1998, and for the year then ended.
Therefore, only material changes in financial condition and results of
operations are discussed herein.
This report contains certain forward-looking statements, which are not
historical facts and pertain to future operating results of the Company. Such
statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements are
inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's
control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to change.
Actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in these
forward-looking statements for the reasons, among others, discussed under the
heading "Asset/Liability Management" in the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's
1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In 1998, Golden West adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" (SFAS 131), which establishes annual and interim reporting
standards for an enterprise's operating segments and related disclosures about
its products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company
operates as a single segment and, therefore, SFAS 131 had no effect on the
Company's financial statements.
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 derivative instruments as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure
those instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133"
(SFAS 137) which delayed the effective date of SFAS 133 until fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is in the process of assessing the
impact of this statement on its financial statements and results of operations.

</TABLE>
For the first six months of 1999 and for the second half of 1998, the
Company securitized $3.7 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, of loans into
mortgage-backed securities which caused the percentage of mortgage-backed
securities to total assets to increase from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999 and
the percentage of loans receivable to total assets to decrease from June 30,
1998 to June 30, 1999. For further discussion, see pages 12 and 13.
As the above table shows, the largest asset components are loans
receivable and mortgage-backed securities, which consist primarily of long-term
mortgages. Deposits represent the majority of the Company's liabilities. The
disparity between the repricing (maturity, prepayment, 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, 1999, 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
benchmark 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. At June 30, 1999 and 1998 and at December 31, 1998, WFSB
and WSL had liquidity in excess of the regulatory requirements. The state of
Texas requires insured institutions, such as World Savings Bank, SSB (WSSB), to
maintain a daily minimum amount of cash and certain qualifying investments for
liquidity purposes. WSSB met this requirement during the periods under
discussion.
At June 30, 1999 and 1998, and December 31, 1998, the Company had
securities available for sale in the amount of $381 million, $416 million, and
$377 million, respectively, including unrealized gains on securities available
for sale of $321 million, $260 million, and $358 million, respectively. At June
30, 1999 and 1998, and December 31, 1998, the Company had no securities held for
trading in its investment securities portfolio.
Included in the Company's investment portfolio at June 30, 1999 and
1998, and December 31, 1998, were collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) in
the amount of $166 million, $45 million, and $196 million, respectively. The
Company holds CMOs on which both principal and interest are received. At June
30, 1999, all of these CMOs qualified for inclusion in the regulatory liquidity
measurement. The Company does not hold any interest-only or principal-only CMOs.
LOANS RECEIVABLE AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
The Company invests in whole loans and mortgage-backed securities (MBS)
and, from time to time, the Company securitizes loans from its portfolio into
MBS and Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Securities (MBS-REMICs) that are
available to be used as collateral for borrowings. At June 30, 1999 and 1998,
and December 31, 1998, the balance of loans receivable including mortgage-backed
securities was $35.5 billion, $36.7 billion, and $35.8 billion, respectively.
Included in the $35.5 billion at June 30, 1999, was $3.3 billion of Federal
National Mortgage Association (FNMA) mortgage-backed securities with the
underlying loans subject to full credit recourse to the Company and $8.1 billion
of MBS-REMICs. Included in the $35.8 billion at December 31, 1998, was $3.9
billion of FNMA MBS with the underlying loans subject to full credit recourse to
the Company and $5.5 billion of MBS-REMICs. Included in the $36.7 billion at
June 30, 1998, was $4.5 billion of FNMA MBS with the underlying loans subject to
full credit recourse to the Company and $3.8 billion of MBS-REMICs.
At June 30, 1999 and 1998, and December 31, 1998, the Company had MBS
held to maturity in the amount of $11.9 billion, $9.0 billion, and $9.9 billion,
respectively. At June 30, 1999 and 1998, and December 31, 1998, the Company had
MBS available for sale in the amount of $93 million, $136 million, and $114
million, respectively, including unrealized gains on MBS available for sale of
$2 million, $6 million, and $5 million, respectively. At June 30, 1999 and 1998
and December 31, 1998, the Company had no trading MBS.
<PAGE>
The Company securitized $3.7 billion and $6.4 billion of mortgage loans
into MBS-REMICs in the first six months of 1999 and for the year ended December
31, 1998, respectively. MBS-REMICs are being used as collateral for borrowings.
The Company has the ability and intent to hold these MBS until maturity and,
accordingly, MBS-REMICs are classified as MBS held to maturity.
During 1998, the Company securitized $1.8 billion of adjustable rate
mortgages (ARMs) into FNMA COFI-indexed MBS. 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 being used as
collateral for borrowings and the underlying loans are subject to full credit
recourse to the Company.
Repayments of MBS during the second quarter and first six months of
1999 were $795 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, compared to $367 million
and $516 million during the same periods of 1998. MBS repayments were higher
during the first six months of 1999 as compared to the first six months of 1998
due to an increase in total MBS outstanding and an increase in the prepayment
rate of the underlying mortgages.
LOAN VOLUME
New loan originations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999,
amounted to $2.9 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively, compared to $2.1
billion and $3.5 billion for the same periods in 1998. The high volume of
originations during 1999 was due to a continued strong demand for home loans for
both purchases and refinances. In addition, the Company increased the size of
its loan origination staff to take advantage of the favorable market conditions.
Refinanced loans constituted 43% and 46% of new loan originations for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 42% and 43% for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998.
Loans originated for sale amounted to $317 million and $604 million for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $212 million and $334
million for the same periods in 1998. In addition, during the second quarter and
first six months of 1999, $300 million and $471 million of loans were converted
at the customers request from adjustable rate to fixed rate compared to $35
million and $43 million for the same periods in 1998. The Company sold $425
million and $961 million of fixed-rate loans for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999, respectively, compared to $268 million and $400 million for the
same periods of 1998.
At June 30, 1999, the Company had lending operations in 27 states. The
largest source of mortgage origination is loans secured by residential
properties in California. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, 65%
and 64% of total loan originations were on residential properties in California
compared to 62% and 61% for the same periods in 1998. The five largest states,
other than California, for originations for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999, were Florida, Texas, Washington, Arizona, and Illinois with a combined
total of 19% of total originations. The percentage of the total loan portfolio
(including mortgage-backed securities with recourse and MBS-REMICs) that is
comprised of residential loans in California was 65% at June 30, 1999 compared
to 66% at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998.
The Company originates adjustable rate mortgages tied to various
indexes, including the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index (COFI), the Golden
West Cost of Savings Index (COSI), and the twelve-month rolling average of the
One-Year Treasury Constant Maturity (TCM).

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 (including MBS and MBS-REMICs) composed of
rate-sensitive loans was 92% at June 30, 1999, 1998 and December 31, 1998. The
Company's ARM originations for the first half of 1999 constituted 85% of new
mortgage loans made in 1999 compared to 87% for the first half of 1998.
The weighted average maximum lifetime cap rate on the Company's ARM
loan portfolio (including ARMs swapped into MBS with recourse and MBS-REMICs)
was 12.54%, or 5.55% above the actual weighted average rate at June 30, 1999,
versus 12.67%, or 5.31% above the weighted average rate at June 30, 1998.
Approximately $4.8 billion of the Company's ARM loans (including MBS
with recourse and MBS-REMICs) 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, 1999, $501 million of ARM loans had reached their rate floors. The
weighted average floor rate on the loans that had reached their floor was 7.62%
at June 30, 1999 compared to 7.74% at June 30, 1998. Without the floor, the
average rate on these loans would have been 7.11% at June 30, 1999 and 7.16% at
June 30, 1998.
Loan repayments consist of monthly loan amortization and loan payoffs.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, loan repayments were $1.4
billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, compared to $1.7 billion and $3.1
billion in the same periods of 1998. Although the balance of loans receivable
was smaller due largely to the securitization of loans into MBS, prepayments
remained high due to the strong refinance and home sale activity.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
The Company accounts for mortgage servicing rights in accordance with
SFAS 125. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are included in "Prepaid
expenses and other assets" on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

ASSET QUALITY
One measure of the soundness of the Company's loan and MBS portfolio is
its ratio of nonperforming assets (NPAs) to total assets. Nonperforming assets
include non-accrual loans (loans, including loans swapped into MBS with recourse
and loans securitized into MBS-REMICs, 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) are 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 NPAs and TDRs
and the various ratios to total assets.

The lower NPAs at June 30, 1999 as compared to June 30, 1998 reflect
primarily the strong economy and housing market, especially in California. The
Company continues to closely monitor all delinquencies and takes appropriate
steps to protect its interests. Interest foregone on non-accrual loans amounted
to $1 million and $3 million in the second quarter and first six months of 1999
compared to $2 million and $5 million for the same periods in 1998. Interest
foregone on TDRs amounted to $108 thousand and $243 thousand for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $241 thousand and $527 thousand for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1998.

The Company provides specific valuation allowances for losses on loans
when impaired, and on real estate owned when any significant and permanent
decline in value is identified. The Company also 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 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 and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

As previously mentioned, the Company has securitized loans from its
portfolio into FNMA MBS with recourse and MBS-REMICs. The Company's intent is to
hold these MBS and MBS-REMICs to maturity. Because these loans underlying the
MBS and MBS-REMICs are similar in all respects to the loans in its loan
portfolio, the Company estimates its reserve on these securities in a manner
similar to the method it uses for the allowance for loan losses. The Company
also sells loans with full credit recourse and has established a reserve for
potential losses on these loans. The liability for this reserve for losses on
loans sold or securitized and retained is included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses.

ratio to total loans (including MBS with recourse and MBS-REMICs) of the
allowance for loan losses and the reserve for losses on loans sold or

DEPOSITS
Retail deposits decreased during the second quarter of 1999 by $60
million, including interest credited of $265 million, compared to an increase
of $434 million, including interest credited of $263 million, in the second
quarter of 1998. Retail deposits increased during the first half of 1999 by
$117 million, including interest credited of $510 million, compared to an
increase of $1.4 billion, including interest credited of $508 million, in the
first half of 1998. During the second quarter of 1999, the Company sold three
branches with a total of $119 million in deposits. During the first quarter of
1998, the Company sold one branch with $36 million in deposits. Retail deposit
balances were essentially unchanged during 1999 as the Company concentrated
marketing efforts on building the loyalty of existing depositors. Retail
deposits increased during the first half of 1998 primarily due to ongoing
marketing efforts as well as active promotions of market rate transaction
accounts. At June 30, 1999 and 1998, transaction accounts (which includes
checking, passbook, and money market accounts) represented 39% and 27%,
respectively, of the total balance of deposits.
Beginning in January 1997, the Company began a program to use
government securities dealers to sell certificates of deposit (CDs) to
institutional investors (wholesale CDs). There were no outstanding wholesale CDs
at June 30, 1999 or at June 30, 1998.

ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS
The Company uses borrowings from FHLBs, also known as "advances," to
supplement cash flow and to provide funds for loan origination activities.
Advances are secured by pledges of certain loans, MBS-REMICs, other MBS, and
capital stock of FHLBs. FHLB advances amounted to $6.1 billion at June 30, 1999,
compared to $7.5 billion and $6.2 billion at June 30, 1998, and December 31,
1998, respectively. During 1998, the Company paid off, before maturity, $4.4
billion of high-cost FHLB of San Francisco advances and, as a result, incurred a
$21 million pre-tax charge for the penalties associated with these prepayments.
See Extraordinary Item discussion on page 31.
<PAGE>
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 $685 million, $1.8 billion, and $1.3 billion at June
30, 1999 and 1998, and December 31, 1998, 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.
OTHER BORROWINGS
At June 30, 1999, Golden West, at the holding company level, had a
total of $812 million of subordinated debt issued and outstanding. As of June
30, 1999, the Company's subordinated debt securities were rated A3 and A- by
Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) and Standard & Poor's (S&P), respectively.
At June 30, 1999, 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.
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, 1999, WFSB had not issued any notes
under this authority.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company's stockholders' equity increased during the first six
months of 1999 as a result of net earnings partially offset by decreased market
values of securities available for sale, the payment of quarterly dividends to
stockholders, and the $170 million cost of the repurchase of Company stock. The
Company's stockholders' equity increased during the first six months of 1998 as
a result of net earnings and increased market values of securities available for
sale partially offset by the payment of quarterly dividends to stockholders.
Unrealized gains, net of taxes, on securities and MBS available for sale
included in stockholders' equity at June 30, 1999 and 1998, and December 31,
1998, were $195 million, $157 million, and $215 million, respectively.
From time to time, 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.
<PAGE>
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, 1999, 11.3 million shares
had been repurchased and retired at a cost of $630 million since October 1993,
of which 1.8 million shares were purchased and retired at a cost of $170 million
during the first six months of 1999. On July 22, 1999, Golden West's Board of
Directors authorized the purchase by the Company of an additional 2.8 million
shares of its common stock. 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.
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 been issued under the registration. The Company's preferred stock has
been preliminarily rated a2 by Moody's.

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, 1999, 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, 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET EARNINGS
Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $122 million
compared to net earnings of $117 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $243 million
compared to net earnings of $227 million, before an extraordinary item (see
extraordinary item discussion on page 32), for the six months ended June 30,
1998. Net earnings increased for the first six months of 1999 as compared to the
same period in 1998 as a result of increased net interest income, a decrease in
the provision for loan losses, increased non-interest income before the one-time
gains (see non-interest income discussion on page 31), and a lower effective tax
rate. These increases to net earnings were partially offset by an increase in
general and administrative expenses.

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,
1999 and 1998, and December 31, 1998.

</TABLE>
The Company holds ARMs to manage the rate sensitivity of the asset side
of the balance sheet. 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. 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). On balance, COFI lags 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 and a temporary increase in net interest income when rates
fall.

The following table shows the Company's revenues and expenses as a

(a) During the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the year ended December 31,
1998, the Company securitized $3.7 billion and $8.2 billion, respectively,
of loans into MBS which caused the percentage of interest on
mortgage-backed securities to total revenues to increase from June 30, 1998
to June 30, 1999 and the percentage of interest on loans to total revenues
to decrease from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999. For further discussion,

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 $927
thousand and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, as
compared to decreases of $2 million and $4 million for the same periods in 1998.
The following table summarizes the unrealized gains and losses for
interest rate swaps at June 30, 1999 and 1998.

<PAGE>
INTEREST ON LOANS
In the second quarter of 1999, interest on loans was lower than in the
comparable 1998 period by $142 million or 24.2%. The decrease in the second
quarter of 1999 was due to a $6.5 billion decrease in the average portfolio
balance and a 33 basis point decrease in the average portfolio yield. For the
first half of 1999, interest on loans was lower than in the comparable 1998
period by $294 million or 24.2%. The decrease was due to a $6.9 billion decrease
in the average portfolio balance and a 27 basis point decrease in the average
portfolio yield. The decrease in the average loan portfolio balance was
primarily due to the securitization of loans into FNMA MBS and MBS-REMICs (see
pages 12 and 13).
INTEREST ON MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
In the second quarter of 1999, interest on mortgage-backed securities
was higher than in the comparable 1998 period by $84 million or 79.4%. The 1999
increase was due primarily to a $4.9 billion increase in the average portfolio
balance, which was partially offset by a 7 basis point decrease in the average
portfolio yield. For the first half of 1999, interest on mortgage-backed
securities was higher than in the comparable 1998 period by $180 million or
101.5% due primarily to a $5.2 billion increase in the average portfolio
balance, which was partially offset by a 10 basis point decrease in the average
portfolio yield. The increase in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio is
primarily due to the securitization of loans into FNMA MBS and MBS-REMICs, as
discussed on pages 12 and 13.
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 1999, interest and dividends on investments was higher
than in the comparable 1998 period by $2.7 million or 5.7%. The increase was
primarily due to a $743 million increase in the average portfolio balance, which
was partially offset by a 71 basis point decrease in the average portfolio
yield. For the first half of 1999, interest and dividends on investments was
lower than in the comparable 1998 period by $1.4 million or 1.4%. The decrease
was primarily due to a 70 basis point decrease in the average portfolio yield
which was partially offset by a $385 million increase in the average portfolio
balance.
INTEREST ON DEPOSITS
In the second quarter of 1999, interest on deposits decreased by $15
million or 4.7% from the comparable period in 1998. The second quarter decrease
was due to a 50 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits, which was
partially offset by a $1.5 billion increase in the average balance of deposits.
In the first half of 1999, interest on deposits decreased by $23 million or 3.6%
from the comparable period in 1998. The six month decrease was primarily due to
a 47 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits, which was partially
offset by a $1.6 billion increase in the average balance of deposits.
<PAGE>
INTEREST ON ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS
For the second quarter and first half of 1999, interest on advances and
other borrowings decreased by $50 million or 27.5% and $109 million or 29.0%,
respectively, from the comparable periods of 1998. The second quarter decrease
was primarily due to a $2.5 billion decrease in the average balance and a 50
basis point decrease in the average cost of these borrowings. The six month
decrease was primarily due to a $3.0 billion decrease in the average balance and
a 43 basis point decrease in the average cost of these borrowings.
PROVISION FOR (RECOVERY OF) LOAN LOSSES
The recovery of loan losses was $727 thousand and $153 thousand,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to a
provision for loan losses of $3 million and $6 million for the same periods in
1998. The decrease in the provision in 1999 was due to declining nonperforming
assets and lower loan losses as a result of the strong California housing market
and economy.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income was $43 million and $78 million, respectively, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $43 million and $69
million for the same periods in 1998. Non-interest income for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 included gains of $7 million from the sale of three
savings offices located in markets with limited growth potential. Non-interest
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, included a gain of $13
million before tax from the redemption of preferred stock which was called by
the issuer and non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998
included a gain of $3 million from the sale of one savings branch. Without the
effects of these one-time gains, non-interest income for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999, was $35 million and $70 million, respectively, as
compared to $30 million and $53 million for the same periods in 1998. The
increases in 1999 as compared to 1998 resulted from higher loan prepayment fees
and increased gains on the sale of fixed-rate mortgages.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
For the second quarter and first half of 1999, general and
administrative expenses (G&A) were $96 million and $189 million, respectively,
compared to $87 million and $171 million for the comparable periods in 1998. G&A
as a percentage of average assets on an annualized basis was 1.00% and .99%,
respectively, for the second quarter and first half of 1999 compared to .88% and
.86%, respectively, for the same periods in 1998. G&A expenses increased in 1999
because of normal increases in employee compensation, the expansion of the loan
origination organization to take advantage of opportunities to increase mortgage
volume, and investments in new computers and automated teller machines to
enhance customer service in our branches.
<PAGE>
EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company paid off, before maturity,
$2.9 billion of high-cost FHLB of San Francisco 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. In addition, in the third quarter
of 1998, the Company paid off, before maturity, an additional $1.5 billion of
high-cost FHLB advances. As a result, the Company incurred an $8 million pretax
charge in the third quarter of 1998 for the penalties associated with the
prepayments.
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 37.5%,
for the second quarter and first half of 1999 compared to 39.3% and 39.6%,
respectively, for the same periods a year ago. The decrease in the tax rate in
1999 as compared to 1998 was due to a lower overall state tax rate due to the
expansion of business in lower taxing states.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
WFSB's principal sources of funds are cash flows generated from earnings;
deposits; loan repayments; sales of loans; negotiable certificates of deposit;
borrowings from the FHLB; investments and borrowings from its affiliates; debt
collateralized by mortgages, MBS, or securities. In addition, WFSB has other
alternatives available to provide liquidity or finance operations including
federal funds purchased, borrowings from public offerings of debt, 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, 1999, and 1998, and December 31, 1998, 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 and debt collateralized by
mortgages, MBS, or securities. In addition, WSL has a number of other
alternatives available to provide liquidity or finance operations. These include
federal funds purchased, 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, WSL 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, 1999, and 1998, and December 31, 1998, see the Cash and
Investments section on page 12.
<PAGE>
WSSB's principal sources of funds are cash flows generated from
earnings; deposits; loan repayments; borrowings from the FHLB Dallas; debt
collateralized by mortgages or securities; and borrowings from its affiliates.
The principal sources of funds for WFSB's, WSL's, and WSSB'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, capital
contributions to its insured subsidiaries (including $489 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998 and $311 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998), dividends to stockholders, the purchase of Golden West stock (see
stockholders' equity section on page 23), and general and administrative
expenses. At June 30, 1999 and 1998, and December 31, 1998, Golden West's total
cash and investments amounted to $725 million, $750 million, and $898 million,
respectively. Included in the June 30, 1999 and 1998, and December 31, 1998
amounts are loans to WFSB and WSL.
YEAR 2000
The Company is aware of the system challenges that the Year 2000 has
created and has implemented a plan (Year 2000 Project) to insure that all of the
Company's mission critical systems are Year 2000 compliant by the end of the
second quarter of 1999, and to evaluate, test, and modify other systems that
might also be affected. The evaluation, correction and testing of the
mission-critical systems was completed during the first quarter of 1999, and
during the second quarter of 1999, the Company successfully completed
integration testing to confirm that all such systems function together. All
mission critical systems have now been upgraded and placed into production. The
Company has completed an inventory and assessment of all other non-mission
systems and is currently in the process of testing and modifying or replacing
those systems that may be affected by Year 2000 compliance issues. The Company
expects to complete the testing and installation of non-mission critical systems
by the end of the third quarter of 1999. The Year 2000 project was developed in
accordance with guidance set forth by federal banking regulators in a series of
jointly-issued policy statements. Federal banking regulators regularly monitor
the Company's progress in meeting the requirements of such policy statements.
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.
<PAGE>
The Company currently estimates that 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 1998 was $8 million and $6 million was incurred for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. 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 has dedicated 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 at the beginning of the year 2000,
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 should such systems not perform. In the unlikely event of a problem with
the Company's systems or the systems of others which relate to the Company's
core business, the Company has developed contingency plans to address the
potential that one or more systems might fail, despite efforts to the contrary.
Although the Company has no reason to believe that such contingency plans will
not effectively avoid or mitigate any adverse consequences of such system
failures, no assurances can be given that such plans will be effective.
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 and anticipated growth
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, 1999,
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.
