      The Company's core business was affected by the rising interest rate
environment and its effect on the net interest margin.  Net interest income
for the first quarter of 1995 declined to $307 million compared with $320
million in the fourth quarter of 1994 and $334 million in the first quarter
of 1994.  While interest earning asset levels increased significantly, the
net interest margin and net interest income decreased compared with both the
1994 fourth quarter and the 1994 first quarter.  The net interest margin is
expected to widen if interest rates stabilize.

</TABLE>


      Interest earning assets, primarily single-family mortgages, increased
$1.9 billion during the 1995 first quarter compared with a decrease of
$680,000 in the 1994 first quarter due to a shift in the mix of single-family
loan originations toward the Adjustable Rate Mortgage ("ARM").  ARMs are held
in the Company's portfolio, whereas fixed-rate loans are sold shortly after
origination.  Since September 1994, the Company has swapped $7.5 billion of
single-family residential ARM loans for mortgage-backed securities to provide
collateral for borrowings.  These securities are recorded in the Company's
held-to-maturity portfolio and are subject to full credit recourse.  During
the first three months of 1995, the Company swapped $2 billion of single-
family ARMs.

      The Company repurchases delinquent loans which were sold with recourse. 
Repurchased loans totaled $24 million in the three months ended March 31,
1995 compared with $20.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1994.

      Commercial real estate loans continued to decrease as a result of the
Company's decision in 1987 to discontinue commercial real estate lending
except to finance the sale of foreclosed properties.
<PAGE>

      The ARM for single-family residential properties ("SFRs") is the
primary lending product held for investment.  Approximately 77% of loans in
the portfolio were indexed to the Cost of Funds Index for financial
institutions comprising the 11th District Federal Home Loan Bank of San
Francisco ("COFI") at March 31, 1995.  The Company also originates ARM
products which are indexed to one-year Treasury bills, the prime rate and the
Federal Cost of Funds Index  ("FCOFI").  The FCOFI is a combination of the
average interest rate on the combined marketable treasury bills and the
average interest rate on the combined marketable treasury notes.  In March
1995, the Company introduced a new product, the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") Annual Monthly Average ("LAMA") ARM.  The LAMA ARM is indexed to
a 12 month average of the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") One
Month LIBOR.  The FCOFI and LAMA ARMs are similar to the COFI ARM product
with respect to interest-rate caps and payment changes.  At March 31, 1995,
ARMs comprised 95.3% of the mortgage portfolio.  A significant portion of the
ARM portfolio is subject to lifetime interest-rate caps and floors.  At March
31, 1995, $344 million of ARM loans with an average yield of 8.20% had
reached their floor rate.  Without the floor, the average yield on these
loans would have been 7.62%.  The benefit to interest income from real estate
loans which have reached their floor interest rate was approximately $1.8
million for the first quarter of 1995 compared with $16.3 million in the
first quarter of 1994.

      An increasingly significant source of loan originations includes
wholesale brokers and a network of correspondent relationships in which the
Company purchases loans originated by unaffiliated mortgage lenders.  In the
first three months of 1995, third party originations were $1.1 billion, or
43.1% of new real estate loans, compared with $149 million, or 8.9% of new
real estate loans in the first three months of 1994.

      The composition of new loan volume was as follows:

      Fixed-rate lending, originated exclusively for sale, is negatively
influenced by the rising interest-rate environment.  The portfolio of fixed-
rate loans designated as available for sale has been recorded at the lower
of cost or fair value.  The Company sells loans forward into the secondary
market and purchases short-term hedge contracts for the commitment period to
protect against rate fluctuations on its commitments to fund fixed-rate loans
originated for sale.  Hedge contracts are recorded at cost.  At March 31,
1995, there were no open hedge contracts due to the low level of fixed-rate
commitments.

      During the first quarter of 1995, ARMs comprised 97% of total real
estate loan originations compared with 65% in the same period of 1994 and 98%
for the fourth quarter of 1994.  COFI ARMs were the primary adjustable rate
offering in the first three months of 1995 and 1994.  The principal COFI
product in 1994 and the first three months of 1995 was a tiered cap loan
where the interest-rate cap is periodically increased over six years.  The
ARM differential over the appropriate indices on new ARMs was 2.65% in the 
first quarter of 1995 compared with 2.54% a year ago.  The ARM differential
on the total ARM real estate loan portfolio was 2.47% at March 31, 1995 and
2.41% at March 31, 1994.  Currently, interest rates on new real estate loans
favor adjustable rate products, which has enabled the Company to generate
asset growth in the last half of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995.<PAGE>

</TABLE>

      Borrowings at March 31, 1995 increased $7.8 billion compared with the same
period last year, primarily securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  The
level of borrowings is influenced by customer account activity, deposit 
acquisitions and changes in assets.  Customer accounts and borrowings have
been utilized during 1994 and the first quarter of 1995 to fund asset growth.

      The Company concentrates its retail deposit-gathering activity in two
states:  California and Florida.

      Certificates of deposit have increased in each of the past two
quarters.  Customers have shifted from money market accounts as a result of
higher interest rates offered on certificate of deposit accounts with terms
of one year and greater.  Prior to the past two quarters, net certificate of
deposit account withdrawals had occurred for the previous eleven quarters.

NET INTEREST MARGIN AND NET INTEREST INCOME

      While average interest earning assets have increased during the past
year, the interest margin has decreased as interest rates have risen.  Net
interest income decreased to $307 million in the first quarter of 1995
compared with $320 million in the fourth quarter of 1994.  Net interest
income was $334 million in the first quarter of 1994.  The Company's net
interest margin, the difference between the yield on interest earning assets
(interest on mortgages, consumer loans and securities) and the cost of funds
(interest on customer accounts and borrowings) was 3.02% at March 31, 1995
compared with 3.97% a year ago.  The interest-rate spread for the 1995 first
quarter was 2.90% compared with 3.21% in  the 1994 fourth quarter and 3.66%
in the 1994 first quarter.  The repricing lag  on COFI and FCOFI ARMs reduced
the interest-rate spread by approximately  25 basis points in both the first
quarter of 1995 and the fourth quarter of 1994.  For the first quarter of
1994, the repricing lag accounted for an increase of approximately 9 basis
points to the interest-rate spread.  The interest-rate spread is compressed
in a rising interest rate environment as increases in COFI and FCOFI, to
which most interest earning assets are tied, lag behind deposit and borrowing
rate increases. 

      The following table of net interest income displays the average monthly
balances, interest income and expense and average rates by asset and
liability component for the periods indicated:

</TABLE>

      The average balance of loans receivable above includes nonaccrual loans
and therefore the interest income and average rate, as presented, are
affected by the loss of interest on such loans.  Interest foregone on
nonaccrual loans that were nonperforming declined to $9.1 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 compared with $15.9 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1994.  


ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

      The Company monitors its asset and liability structure and interest-
rate/ maturity risks on a regular basis.  In this process, consideration is
given to interest-rate trends and funding requirements.  ARMs comprised
approximately 96% of the real estate loan portfolio at both March 31, 1995
and March 31, 1994.<PAGE>
<PAGE>

      At March 31, 1995, mortgages totaling $3.0 billion were available for
sale, primarily mortgage-backed securities.  Real estate loans available for
sale are valued at the lower of cost or fair value, generally on an
individual loan basis.  As of March 31, 1995 and 1994, real estate loans
available for sale, all fixed rate, were $66.5 million and $205 million,
respectively.  The decrease in loans available for sale compared with the
same period a year ago resulted from reduced fixed-rate loan originations. 
During the three months ended March 31, 1995, gains from this portfolio
totaled $1.3 million compared with $2.3 million in the first three months of
1994.  Unrealized holding gains on real estate loans available for sale
totaled $269,000 at March 31, 1995 compared with $6 million at March 31,
1994.

      Mortgage-backed securities available for sale and other securities
available for sale are carried at fair value.  At March 31, 1995, mortgage-
backed securities available for sale included $339 million of fixed-rate
loans and $2.6 billion of ARMs.  There were no realized gains or losses in
the first three months of 1995.  Unrealized holding losses were $6.3 million
at March 31, 1995.  Unrealized holding losses were $77.3 million at December
31, 1994 and $4.0 million at March 31, 1994.

      Marketable securities available for sale at March 31, 1995 had an
amortized cost of $996 million and a fair value of $989 million.  There were
no gains realized during the 1995 first quarter.  Gains realized during the
first quarter of 1994 totaled $477,000.  Unrealized holding losses on
marketable securities were $6.9 million at March 31, 1995.  Unrealized
holding losses were $18.3 million at December 31, 1994 compared with $3.3
million of unrealized holding gains at March 31, 1994.

      The unrealized holding gains and losses on securities available for
sale, net of income taxes, included as a component of stockholders' equity,
were as follows:

      The following table shows that the portfolio of short-term assets
exceeded liabilities maturing or subject to interest adjustment within one
year by $4.9 billion at March 31, 1995 compared with $3.8 billion at December
31, 1994 and $3.4 billion at March 31, 1994.  In the current interest rate
environment, the Company is better protected against rising rates with an
excess of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within one year.

ASSET QUALITY

      The Company regularly reviews its assets to determine that each
category is reasonably valued.  In this review process it monitors the loss
exposure relating to nonperforming assets, assets adversely classified for
regulatory purposes, the delinquency trend and market environment to identify
potential problems.

      Loss reserves have been provided, where necessary in management's
judgment, for interest earning assets, including residential loans and
consumer loans.  Valuation reserves for consumer loans are provided based
upon a percentage of the loans outstanding in relation to the loss experience
within the loan categories.

      The Company assesses the status of general loss reserves on real estate
loans based upon its current loss experience as applied to the loan
portfolio, including loans that are delinquent or adversely classified
because of declining collateral values.  In the first quarter of 1995 and
throughout 1994, the Company reduced reserve levels on the real estate loan
and real estate portfolios as a result of decreasing nonperforming  assets
and an improving economy. 

      The California real estate market requires continued review.  There
appear to be regional differences in economic performance within California
and among property types which are attributable to differing recovery rates
for the wide range of economic activities within California.

      On a regional basis, the economic factors affecting the single-family
market appear to be somewhat more favorable in Northern California than in
Southern California.  In particular, the median metropolitan area sales price
of existing single-family homes in the San Jose area increased from the
fourth quarter of 1993 to the fourth quarter of 1994 by 1 percent.  During
the same period, the median sales price for the Los Angeles and San Diego
areas, declined 4 percent and 2 percent, respectively.

      In the Los Angeles area, the vacancy rate of the office space market
was 20 percent at both December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993.  In San Diego
County, the vacancy rate was 18 percent at December 31, 1994 compared with
21 percent at December 31, 1993.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

      In the Los Angeles area, the vacancy rate of the industrial space
market decreased to 8 percent at December 31, 1994 from 11 percent a year
earlier.  San Diego County's industrial space market had a vacancy rate of
4 percent at both December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993.

      Loans delinquent over 30 days, together with restructured loans, have
been included in the process to determine estimated losses.  The effects of
various loan characteristics such as geography, delinquency, date of
origination, property type and loan-to-value ratios ("LTV") are considered
in this review process.

      As a monitoring device, the Company reviews the trends of loans
delinquent for periods of less than ninety days on a monthly (and within-
month) basis.  The following summarizes loans delinquent for periods from
thirty to eighty-nine days:

</TABLE>


      The significant reduction in thirty to eighty-nine day delinquencies
at March 31, 1995 compared with March 31, 1994 is primarily due to the
decrease in delinquencies which were a result of the January 17, 1994
Northridge earthquake.  These loans have either been brought current, paid
off or to a lesser degree, foreclosed.

      The Company's real estate loan portfolio included approximately $2.9
billion of uninsured single-family mortgage loans at March 31, 1995, compared
with $3.4 billion a year ago, which were originated with terms where the LTV
exceeded 80% (but not in excess of 90%).  During the first quarter of 1995,
losses on the higher LTV mortgages totaled $7.3 million, or .85%
(annualized), compared with $3.7 million, or .30% (annualized) for the same
period a year ago.  For the year  1994, losses totaled $24.3 million, or .59%
of such loans, compared with $44.8 million, or .81%, for 1993.  The Company
began to purchase mortgage insurance on all new single-family residential
mortgages originated with LTVs in excess of 80% in 1990.  Therefore, this
portfolio of uninsured loans is becoming more seasoned and the balance is
declining.

      The impaired loan portfolio decreased at March 31, 1995 compared with
March 31, 1994.  The decrease was primarily the result of both a sale and a
foreclosure in the last half of 1994, of two nonperforming loans with a
combined balance of approximately $92 million.  The Company's policy for
recognizing income on impaired loans is to accrue earnings unless a loan is
in foreclosure or becomes nonperforming, at which time the accrued earnings
are reversed.

      Single-family residential mortgage loans are generally evaluated for
impairment as homogeneous pools of loans.  Certain situations may arise
leading to single-family residential mortgage loans being evaluated for
impairment on an individual basis.

      A change in the fair value of an impaired loan is reported as an
increase or reduction to the provision for loan losses.

      Certain loans (where GWB works with borrowers encountering economic
difficulty) meet the criteria of, and are classified as, troubled debt
restructurings ("TDRs") because of modification to loan terms.  TDRs totaled
$149 million at March 31, 1995 compared with $246 million at March 31, 1994. 
The decrease in TDR's is primarily the result of the previously mentioned
disposition of $92 million of nonperforming loans in addition to $63 million
of performing TDR's which reached the end of their restructuring period in
1994, returning them to a normal amortization schedule.  TDRs which meet
certain conditions of repayment and performance have not been included in
nonperforming assets.  At March 31, 1995, $23 million of TDRs were classified
as performing assets compared with $43 million at March 31, 1994.

      Real estate available for sale is recorded at the lower of cost or fair
value and is included in a periodic review of assets to determine whether,
in management's judgment, there has been any deterioration in value.  Real
estate held for development, also subject to the same review process, is
carried at the  lower of cost or net realizable value.  Properties where
future development is uncertain are carried at the lower of cost or fair
value.  Real estate is also included in the general reserve evaluation.  At
March 31, 1995, foreclosed real estate properties totaling $15 million are
operating profitably after provisions for interest and depreciation and are
performing assets.

      Nonperforming assets include loans which are delinquent ninety days or
more, TDRs which do not meet certain performance criteria and certain real
estate owned which does not generate sufficient income to meet return on
investment criteria.  The following table indicates the amount of the
Company's nonperforming assets and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total
assets:

      Nonperforming real estate loans and real estate decreased by $32 million
during the first quarter of 1995.  Total nonperforming single-family 
residential properties decreased $16 million in the first quarter of 1995 
due primarily to a decrease in new ninety day delinquencies.  Single-family 
residential properties in California decreased $11 million while out of state
properties declined $5 million.  Nonperforming commercial and apartment 
properties declined $16 million in the first quarter of 1995 as sales of 
commercial and apartment properties outpaced new delinquencies.

      In the first three months of 1995, bulk sales of foreclosed single-
family properties totaled $60.4 million compared with $84.6 million in the 
first three months of 1994. Auction sales have also been utilized to 
accelerate the disposition of foreclosed properties.  Foreclosures continue 
to occur at relatively high levels.

      The Company provides a reserve for uncollected interest which is
essentially based upon loans delinquent ninety days or more or in 
foreclosure.  These loans are considered in "nonaccrual" status.

      Real estate services income totaled $21.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 compared with $23.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1994.  The decrease in income was attributed to both lower loan
fees and lower gains on mortgage sales.  Gains on mortgage sales decreased
as a result of lower sales activity.  Mortgage sales in the first three
months of 1995, all fixed rate, totaled $19.3 million, at a gain of 1.59% of
mortgage sales, compared with $671 million in the first three months of last
year at a gain of .88% of mortgage sales.  The increased gain as a percentage
of mortgage sales is a result of increased premiums on loan sales.  At March
31, 1995, the servicing spread was 44 basis points on the $10.8 billion
servicing portfolio compared with a servicing spread of 42 basis points on
a $12.2 billion portfolio at March 31, 1994.  The portfolio of loans serviced
for others is expected to continue to decline as a result of the lower level
of fixed-rate loan originations and sales.

      Retail banking fee and commission income decreased from $43.5 million
in the three months ended March 31, 1994 to $40 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1995.  Banking fees increased to $36 million in the first
three months of 1995 compared with $32.9 million in the same period last
year.  Income from mutual fund operations has been reduced as a result of a
change in the commission and fee structure as well as significantly reduced
subscriptions.  Net revenue from these operations totaled $4 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1995 compared with $10.6 million in the same
period of 1994.  The Company managed mutual funds with assets aggregating $3
billion at March 31, 1995 compared with $3.3 billion at March 31, 1994.

      Other income was $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995
compared with $10.2 million for the same period a year ago.

      Operating expenses were $250 million for the first three months of
1995, compared with $252 million for the first three months of 1994.  Fourth
quarter 1994 operating expenses were $240 million.  The increase from year-
end 1994 is primarily attributable to the costs associated with the
implementation of the Company's outsourced data network operations during the
first quarter.  These new information management technology strategies are
expected to result in significant operational efficiencies in the future. 
Operating expenses decreased 1% between the first quarters of 1995 and 1994. 
The operating ratios were as follows:

      In 1993, the Company embarked on a cost-reduction program at its
administrative headquarters designed to increase profits and improve
efficiency and recorded a related $30 million restructuring charge.  The
program was phased in throughout 1994 and continues in 1995.  Charges against
this reserve since the program was initiated, principally employee separation
expenses and associated costs, totaled $29 million.  Approximately 1,300
positions have been eliminated as of March 31, 1995 through layoffs and
attrition.  Reductions in nonpersonnel related costs will also contribute to
the overall savings through renegotiation of existing vendor contracts and
elimination of other administrative expenses.  Anticipated savings in 1995
and beyond will exceed $100 million annually.

      The following table presents net earnings (annualized) as a percent of
average assets and as a percent of average equity:

      The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1995
decreased due to the reversal of certain tax liabilities no longer required. 
As a result, the Company's effective tax rate was 39.6% in the first three
months of 1995 and 41.2% in the same period of 1994.


DEPOSIT INSURANCE PREMIUMS

      Under current law, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC") is required to increase the reserves of both the Bank Insurance Fund
(the "BIF") and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") to 1.25%
of insured deposits over a reasonable period of time and thereafter to
maintain such reserves at not less than that level.  Based on current
experience, it is generally anticipated that the BIF will reach the required
reserve level in the near future.  However, it is expected that the SAIF
reserves will not reach the required level for a number of years without
Congressional action to provide additional funding or merge the separate
insurance funds in some fashion.  Accordingly, the FDIC has proposed that
future deposit insurance premiums of SAIF-insured institutions be assessed
at substantially higher premiums than the corresponding premium assessment
rates for BIF-insured institutions.  The effect of this proposal would be
that the SAIF assessment rate to be paid by SAIF members would continue to
range from 23 cents per $100 of domestic deposits to 31 cents per $100 of
domestic deposits, depending on risk classification.  The current assessment
rate for GWB is 23 cents per $100 of domestic deposits for the first half of
1995.  The FDIC has proposed that BIF members pay an assessment rate of 4
cents to 31 cents per $100 of domestic deposits.  Such a deposit insurance
premium disparity could place SAIF-insured institutions, such as GWB, at a
competitive disadvantage with commercial banks and other BIF-insured
institutions.

      On March 1, 1995, GWFC submitted applications to federal bank
regulators seeking the creation of two new national banks in California and
Florida.  Both the proposed national banks would be insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation through the BIF and would allow the Company to
offer a wide variety of banking products and services to its present and
future customers.  GWFC will file an application with the Federal Reserve to
become a bank holding company.

      If its applications are approved, GWFC will operate the banks at
existing branch locations and it is anticipated that a portion of GWB's
present deposit base will voluntarily flow to the national banks.  The bank
applications are expected to be acted upon later in 1995 and require the
approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC, and the
Federal Reserve Board.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

      Capital (stockholders' equity) was $2.6 billion at March 31, 1995 and
$2.4 billion at March 31, 1994.  At the end of the 1995 first quarter the
ratio of capital to total assets was 5.9% compared with 6.5% a year ago.

      GWB is subject to certain capital requirements under applicable
regulations and meets all such requirements.  At March 31, 1995, GWB's
capital was $2.8 billion, including subordinated notes of $429 million.

      The following ratios compare GWB with the fully phased-in capital
requirements under regulations issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS"):

</TABLE>


      The OTS amended its risk-based capital rules to incorporate interest-
rate risk ("IRR") requirements which require a savings association to hold
additional capital if it is projected to experience an excessive decline in
"net portfolio value" in the event interest rates increase or decrease by two
percentage points.  The additional capital required is equal to one-half of
the amount by which any decline in net portfolio value exceeds 2 percent of
the savings association's total net portfolio value.  GWB does not expect the
interest-rate risk requirements to have a material impact on its required
capital levels.

      The OTS has proposed to amend its capital rule on the leverage ratio
requirement to reflect amendments made by the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency ("OCC") to the capital requirements for national banks.  The
proposal would establish a 3% leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of core
capital to adjusted total assets) for savings associations in the strongest
financial and managerial condition.  All other savings associations would be
required to maintain leverage ratios of at least 4%.  Only savings
associations rated composite 1 under the OTS CAMEL rating system will be
permitted to operate at or near the regulatory minimum leverage ratio of 3%. 
For all other savings associations, the minimum core capital leverage ratio
will be 3% plus at least an additional 100 to 200 basis points.<PAGE>
<PAGE>

      In determining the amount of additional capital, the OTS will assess
both the quality of risk management systems and the level of overall risk in
each individual savings association through the supervisory process on a
case-by-case basis.  The OTS' supervisory judgment on a savings association's
capital adequacy, both in terms of risk-based capital and the minimum
leverage ratio, will continue to be based upon an assessment of the relevant
factors present in each institution.

      Savings associations that do not pass the minimum capital standards
established under the new core capital leverage ratio requirements will be
required to submit capital plans detailing steps to be taken to reach
compliance.

      GWB currently meets these proposed requirements.

      As of March 31, 1995, real estate loan commitments totaled $816 million
compared with $882 million at December 31, 1994 and $749 million at March 31,
1994.  These commitments included $796 million of ARMs and $20 million at
fixed rates at March 31, 1995.  The high percentage of ARM commitments is
indicative of a fully adjusted interest rate on COFI ARMs that is more than
100 basis  points lower than the rates offered on 30-year fixed-rate loans. 
The Company has several sources for raising funds for lending, among which
are mortgage repayments, mortgage sales, customer deposits, Federal Home Loan
Bank borrowings and other borrowings.  

      The following table presents the debt ratings of the Company and GWB
at March 31, 1995:

      The origination and sale of real estate loans is dependent upon general
market conditions.  In an active real estate market loan originations
increase.  In such periods mortgage sales are usually increased to fund a
portion of originations and to control asset growth.  However, in some
periods mortgage sales occur to fund customer account outflows and repay
borrowings which result in asset shrinkage.  Mortgage sales also occur to
limit interest-rate risk and for restructuring purposes.<PAGE>
<PAGE>

      As presented in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows the
sources of liquidity vary between quarters.  The primary sources of funds in
the first quarter of 1995 were principal payments on mortgages held for
investment of $1.1 billion and an increase in borrowings of $715,000.  New
loans originated for investment required $2.8 billion in the first quarter
of 1995.  Operating activities provided $211 million in the current quarter.

      The Company continued to maintain liquidity balances each period in
excess of funding and legal requirements.  Cash and securities totaled $1.6
billion at March 31, 1995 and $1 billion at March 31, 1994.


DIVIDENDS

      Quarterly cash dividends have been paid since 1977.  At its April 1995
meeting, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.23
per common share payable in May 1995.  The quarterly cash dividend has been
paid at this level since the second quarter of 1992.

      In the first quarter of 1995 the regular quarterly dividend on the $129
million 8 3/4% cumulative convertible preferred stock, issued in May 1991,
and the regular quarterly dividend on the $165 million 8.3% cumulative
preferred stock, issued in September 1992, were paid.

      The Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan permits a 3% discount
on stock purchased with reinvested dividends.  During the first quarter of
1995, reinvested dividends totaled $10.6 million.

      Effective March 31, 1994, Bryant Financial Corporation ("Bryant"), a
property development subsidiary, became a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of
the Company.  This realignment was in the form of a dividend from GWB to GWFC
in the amount of Bryant's book value of $38 million.

      The principal source of operating income of the Company on an
unconsolidated basis is dividends from GWB and Aristar, Inc ("Aristar").  In
the first quarter of 1995, cash dividends received from GWB and Aristar
totaled $2.8 million and $7.5 million, respectively.  GWB is subject to the
regulations of the OTS and FDIC.  The OTS regulations impose limitations upon
"capital distributions" by savings associations, including cash dividends. 
The regulations establish a three-tiered system: Tier 1 includes savings
associations with capital at least equal to their fully phased-in capital
requirement which have not been notified that they are in need of more than
normal supervision; Tier 2  includes savings associations with capital above
their minimum capital requirement but less than their fully phased-in
requirement; and Tier 3 includes savings associations with capital below
their minimum capital requirement.  Tier 1 associations may, after prior
notice but without approval of the OTS, make capital distributions up to the
higher of (1) 100% of their net income during the calendar year plus the
amount that would reduce by one half their "surplus capital ratio" (the
excess over their fully phased-in capital requirement) at the beginning of
the calendar year or (2) 75% of their net income over the most recent four-
quarter period.  Tier 2 associations may, after prior notice but without 

<PAGE>

approval of the OTS, make capital distributions of up to 25% to 75% of their
net income over the most recent four-quarter period depending upon their
current risk-based capital position.  Tier 3 associations may not make
capital distributions without prior approval.  An association subject to more
stringent restrictions imposed by agreement may apply to remove the more
stringent restrictions.

      The Company believes that GWB is a Tier 1 association.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the regulatory authorities have broad discretion to prohibit
any payment of dividends and take other actions if they determine that the
payment of such dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. 
Among the circumstances posing such risk would be a capital distribution by
a Tier 1 or Tier 2 association whose capital is decreasing because of
substantial losses.
