ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets decreased $146 million or 4.5% to $3.1 billion at March 31, 1996
from $3.2 billion at December 31, 1995. This decrease is primarily the result of
the sale of mortgage-backed securities.

LOANS

Loans (including those held for sale), net of unearned discounts and undisbursed
loan proceeds, decreased $14.9 million or 0.85% since December 31, 1995. The
decrease is the result of the differential between loans originated and sold as
well as principal reductions during the three month period ended March 31, 1996.
Westcorp has retained the servicing on almost all loans sold and receives a
servicing fee therefrom. Included in the portfolio are loans held for sale of
which $159 million are mortgage loans secured primarily by single family
residences and $233 million which are consumer loans secured by motor vehicles.

Consumer loan originations were 50.0% higher for the three months ended March
31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was primarily the
result of Westcorp's continued expansion of its dealer center and branch network
and favorable market conditions for automobile sales. Westcorp currently
conducts its consumer finance operations through 97 offices in California and 17
other states.

Real estate originations increased $256 million during the first three months of
1996 to $309 million compared with $52.5 million the same period a year ago. The
increase in real estate originations is the result of a more favorable market
environment in California and the acquisition of The Hammond Company, a
privately held mortgage banking company. The following table sets forth the loan
origination, purchase and sale activity of Westcorp for the periods indicated.

ASSET QUALITY

General

From mid-1992 through early 1994, the economy in California, where substantially
all of the collateral for Westcorp's real estate loans is located, experienced
severe downturns in the market values of real estate, high levels of
unemployment and a continued slump in residential construction and new home
sales. The problems created by this economic slump have been noticeable in both
the multifamily and single family mortgage portfolios. While the economy has not
fully recovered, the downward spiral appears to have stabilized.

Delinquency

The percent of loans 60 days or more delinquent increased to 1.5% at March 31,
1996 compared to 1.2% at December 31, 1995. Delinquent loans by type of loan and
as a percentage of loans by type are summarized as follows at March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995:

Nonperforming Assets

Total nonperforming assets ("NPA") increased $8.4 million or 28.6% to $37.6
million at March 31, 1996 compared to $29.2 million at December 31, 1995. The
overall increase is primarily attributable to increased delinquency on single
family loans in which property tax payments were due. At March 31, 1996, NPAs
represented 1.2% of total assets compared to 0.9% at December 31, 1995.

NPAs consist of nonperforming loans ("NPL") and real estate acquired through
foreclosure ("REO"). REOs are accounted for at fair value. NPLs are defined as
all loans on nonaccrual which include mortgage loans 90 days or more past due or
performing loans where full collection of principal and interest is not
reasonably assured. NPLs include loans categorized as impaired. When a loan is
designated as nonaccrual, all previous accrued interest is reversed. At March
31, 1996, interest on nonperforming loans excluded from interest income was $1.1
million compared to $0.9 million at March 31, 1995.

As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 114, a loan is considered impaired when,
based on current information and events, it is probable that Westcorp will be
unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Westcorp measures impairment based on the fair value of the loan's
collateral. Changes in the fair value are recorded through the allowance for
loan losses. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, impaired loans were $11.6
million and $7.5 million, respectively.

Nonperforming loans consisted of the following:

Allowance For Loan And Real Estate Losses

Consistent with loan volume, loan sales, losses, nonaccrual loans and other
relevant factors, Westcorp increased its allowance for loan losses to $41.0
million for March 31, 1996 compared to $39.3 million for December 31, 1995.
While Westcorp's nonperforming assets are mainly single family loans, no single
loan, borrower or series of such loans predominate. The provision and allowance
for loan losses are indicative of loan volumes, loss trends and management's
analysis of market conditions. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a
level believed adequate by management to absorb potential losses in the loan
portfolio.

The following table presents summarized data relative to the allowance for loan
losses.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

Westcorp reported net income of $9.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 1996, compared to $6.6 million for the respective period of 1995. Return on
average assets was 1.11% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to
1.00% for the same period of 1995. Return on average equity was 13.1% for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 12.2% for the respective period
of 1995. Net income was primarily affected by the following factors:

     -  Net interest income increased as Westcorp increased its purchases of 
        mortgage-backed securities and as originations of loans increased.

     -  Provision for loan losses increased due to increased production in the 
        lower end of the prime credit quality spectrum for auto contracts and 
        the timing of auto-backed securitizations.

     -  Automobile lending and Mortgage banking income increased as overall 
        servicing portfolios increased.

     -  Other expenses increased as a result of continued expansion into other 
        states and expansion of servicing portfolios.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $22.9 million.
For the same period of 1995, net interest income totalled $18.2 million.

Overall interest rate spread increased 10 basis points for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, compared to the same period of 1995 due to an increase of
29 basis points in the yield on interest earning assets while the cost of funds
only increased 19 basis points.

The increase in yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared to the same period of 1995 was affected by an 86 basis
point increase in the mortgage loan portfolio, which is due to increased
originations of loans with higher yields. Additionally, the yield on mortgage
loans is offset by decreases in the yield on consumer loans of 25 basis points.

The increase in the cost of funds was affected by a 115 basis point increase in
public debt offerings and a 121 basis point decrease in FHLB advances and other
borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The continued profitability of Westcorp is dependent upon, among other factors,
the extent to which the effect of changes in interest rates on its earnings are
minimized. Thus, a major objective of Westcorp's asset/liability management
program has been to control interest rate risk through matching the maturity and
repricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets with those of its
interest-bearing liabilities.

Westcorp originates both adjustable-rate mortgages ("ARM") and fixed-rate
mortgages. To minimize the interest rate risk associated with its real estate
loan portfolio, Westcorp generally retains the ARMs in its own loan portfolio
and sells its fixed-rate loans in the secondary market with servicing rights
retained. Westcorp has also purchased mortgage servicing rights which act as a
potential hedge against rising interest rates. During the first three months of
1996, Westcorp purchased rights to service $508 million of single family
residential mortgage loans for $5.8 million. At March 31, 1996, Westcorp
serviced $3.4 billion in mortgage real estate loans for others. ARMs and
adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") amounted to 71% of the total
mortgage loans and MBS held by Westcorp at March 31, 1996. Interest rates
generally adjust on a monthly, semiannual or annual basis with 96% of Westcorp's
adjustable products adjusting monthly.

Westcorp also originates fixed-rate consumer loans. To minimize interest rate
risk associated with its consumer loan portfolio, Westcorp has sold 96% of its
consumer loan production in securitization transactions in which it has retained
the servicing rights. The interest rate passed through to the purchasers of
those consumer loans is fixed, which provides off balance sheet match funding
for the majority of Westcorp's consumer loans. At March 31, 1996, Westcorp
serviced $2.1 billion in consumer loans for others.

Approximately 22% of Westcorp's other borrowed funds at March 31, 1996 had fixed
rates and maturities greater than one year. Subordinated debentures, which
represent 76% of this total, are redeemable in four years and mature in seven
years.

Westcorp has entered into or committed to interest rate caps and call options as
hedges against market value changes in designated portions of its MBS portfolio.
At March 31, 1996, caps with a notional amount of $100 million and options
totalling $26.0 million were outstanding. The cap agreement has a strike rate of
8.0% and expires in September, 1999. The call option has a strike price of 116
and expires in June, 1996. Westcorp uses only highly rated counterparties and
further reduces its risk by avoiding any material concentration with a single
counterparty. Credit exposure is limited to those agreements with a positive
fair value and only to the extent of that fair value.

The sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes may be measured by the
difference, or gap, between the amount of assets and liabilities scheduled to
reprice, based on certain assumptions, within the same period expressed as a
percentage of interest-earning assets. Conceptually, the lower the amount of
this gap, the less sensitive earnings are to interest rate changes. A positive
gap means an excess of assets over liabilities repricing during the same period.
However, this method of measuring interest rate sensitivity does not take into
account the differing repricing characteristics of various types of assets and
liabilities. Thus, certain assets and liabilities that have similar maturities
or periods to reprice may react in different ways to changes in market interest
rates. For instance, Westcorp's ARMs are mainly tied to the Eleventh District
Cost of Funds which typically lags the market, and also generally have 
restrictions on the maximum amounts of periodic and/or total changes in 
interest rates and payments. On the other hand, maturing borrowings have no 
such restrictions and may reprice at current market rates.

The following table illustrates the projected interest rate maturities, based
upon certain assumptions, regarding the major asset and liability categories of
Westcorp at March 31, 1996. The interest rate sensitivity of Westcorp's assets
and liabilities illustrated in the following table could vary substantially if
different assumptions were used or actual experience differs from the
assumptions set forth.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $5.6
million compared to $0.6 million during the comparable period of 1995. The
increase in the provision for credit losses is attributable to two factors.
Westcorp has expanded aggressively into other states and increased its
production in the lower end of the prime credit quality spectrum resulting in an
increase in chargeoffs for on-balance sheet contracts to 3.63% for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from 1.56% for the same period in 1995.
Additionally, at the end of the first quarter of 1995, Westcorp had committed to
sell $190 million of contracts. Since the loans had already been committed for
sale, Westcorp did not set aside reserves for this portfolio.

OTHER INCOME

Total other income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $42.3 million
compared to $20.2 million during the comparable period of 1995. Other income is
generated from automobile lending activities, mortgage banking activities, and
other ancillary sources.

Automobile Lending

Westcorp originates and sells automobile sales contracts in the secondary market
with servicing rights retained. Income from automobile lending includes gain
from the sale of loans, loan servicing income net of amortization of capitalized
servicing and other related income such as document fees and late charges. For
the three months ended March 31, 1996, automobile lending generated income was
$36.5 million compared to $17.1 million for the same period of 1995.

During the three months ended March 31, 1996, net gain on automobile loan sales
totalled $12.9 million compared to a gain from loan sales of $1.1 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1995. The higher gain on sales during 1996 is a
result of wider locked-in gross interest spread of 946 basis points for the
securitization in the first quarter of 1996 compared to 753 basis points for the
securitization in the first quarter of 1995, as well as a 149% increase in the
amounts of auto contracts securitized. Contracts sold during the first three
months of 1996 totalled $485 million compared to $190 million during the same
period of 1995.

Net loan servicing income totalled $16.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared to $11.2 million for the comparable period of 1995 as
the servicing portfolio increased. Westcorp serviced $2.1 billion of automobile
loans for others at March 31, 1996 compared to $1.2 billion at March 31, 1995.

banking operations include gains and losses on the sale of loans, loan servicing
income net of amortization of capitalized servicing and other income which is
primarily late charges. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, mortgage
banking generated income of $4.3 million compared to $1.5 million for the
comparable period of 1995.

Gains on sale of mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 1996
totalled $2.2 million compared to losses from sale of mortgage loans of $0.1
million during the comparable period of 1995. The increase in gain on sale of
mortgage loans is due primarily to the acquisition of The Hammond Company, whose
loans generate greater servicing values and greater loan values from its home
builders retail base. Loans sold during the first three months of 1996 totalled
$275 million compared to $5.2 million for the same period of 1995. Mortgage
loans held for sale increased from $149 million at December 31, 1995 to $159
million at March 31, 1996.

Net loan servicing income was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996 compared to $1.3 million for the comparable period of 1995 as a result of a
larger servicing portfolio. At March 31, 1996, Westcorp serviced $3.4 billion of
mortgage loans for others compared to $1.7 billion at March 31, 1995.

Mortgage banking income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 is
summarized as follows:

Miscellaneous

Other sources of income include insurance income and real estate operations.
Insurance income is generated primarily from commissions earned on the sale of
loan-related insurance products as well as insurance-related investment
products. Insurance income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 totalled
$4.4 million compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 1995. The increase
in insurance income for the period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to March
31, 1995 is the result of the increase in the amount of contracts outstanding,
as a substantial part of such income is with respect to collateral protection
insurance purchased in connection with loans made or purchased by the Company,
and as a result of the settlement of certain litigation (discussed in further
detail below in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings).

Real estate operations include the ongoing costs of operation and disposition
associated with Westcorp's REO. Real estate operations had a loss of $1.6
million in the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to earnings of $0.5
million for the same period in 1995.

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses consist of compensation and benefits, occupancy expense,
insurance and other operating expenses. Other expenses increased to $39.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $26.5 million for
the same period in 1995. The increase is primarily in compensation and benefits
and is a function of increased loan servicing portfolios and expansion of
operations into additional states. The ratio of annualized operating expense to
average serviced loans was 2.28% for the three months ended March 31, 1996
compared to 2.24% for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were
41.1% and 41.7%, respectively.

                         CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Westcorp has diversified sources of funds generated through its operations.
Primary sources include deposits, loan principal and interest payments received,
sale of mortgage loans and consumer loans, sale of MBS and the maturity or sale
of investment securities. Other sources include commercial paper, Federal Home
Loan Bank advances and reverse repurchase agreements. Prepayments on loans and
mortgage-backed securities and deposit inflows and outflows are affected
significantly by interest rates, real estate sales activity and general economic
conditions.

Westcorp uses these sources to meet its business needs which include funding
maturing certificates of deposits and savings withdrawals, repayment of
borrowings, funding loan and investment commitments and real estate operations,
meeting operating expenses and maintaining minimum regulatory liquidity and
capital levels.

During the first three months of 1996, Westcorp purchased $47.1 million of MBS
to more profitably employ its excess capital and enhance interest spreads. These
securities have been segregated, on an individual security basis, into the
available for sale portfolio and the held to maturity portfolio in the financial
statements in accordance with management's intent and ability to hold to
maturity. These purchases included both fixed and adjustable rate MBS.

Westcorp's wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Financial Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("the
Bank") is a federally chartered savings bank. As such, it is subject to certain
minimum capital requirements. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991 separates all financial institutions into one of five
capital categories: "well capitalized", "adequately capitalized",
"undercapitalized", "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically
undercapitalized". In order to be considered "well capitalized", an institution
must have a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 (i.e.,
core) risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, a leverage ratio (i.e., core)
of 5% or greater and not be subject to any OTS order or directive to meet and
maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. At March 31, 1996 the
Bank had a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.05%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio of 7.93% and a leverage ratio of 8.31%. The Bank currently meets all the
requirements of a "well capitalized" institution. Its regulatory capital
position at March 31, 1996 was as follows:

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, the Bank is required to
maintain a specified ratio of cash, short-term United States government and
other qualifying securities to net withdrawable accounts and borrowings payable
in a year or less. The required liquidity ratio is currently 5%. The Bank has
maintained liquidity in excess of the required amount in 1996.

ITEM 1.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

               On March 29, 1996, the court issued its order approving
               settlement and its final judgement for the class action lawsuit,
               relating to Westcorp's collateral protection insurance program 
               and the court found that the settlement was fair, reasonable and
               adequate. There were no modifications from the preliminary
               approval order dated December 22, 1995. The court retains
               jurisdiction over the settlement administration.

               Westcorp or its subsidiaries are also involved as parties to 
               certain legal proceedings incidental to their businesses. 
               Westcorp believes that the outcome of such proceedings will not 
               have a material effect upon Westcorp's business or financial 
               condition.
