AMERICA FIRST FINANCIAL FUND 1987 - A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
1. ORGANIZATION
America First Financial Fund 1987-A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership")
was formed on April 14, 1987 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act for the purpose of acquiring one or more federally insured
financial institutions through supervisory assisted acquisitions. The
Partnership formed a subsidiary corporation, America First Eureka Holdings,
Inc. ("AFEH") for the purpose of owning and managing one or more acquired
financial institutions. The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2036,
unless terminated earlier under the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.
The general partner of the Partnership is America First Capital Associates
Limited Partnership Five ("AFCA-5") whose managing general partner is AFCA-5
Management Corporation.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership include the
accounts of the Partnership, AFEH (its wholly-owned subsidiary) and AFEH's
wholly-owned subsidiary, EurekaBank ("Eureka") and its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership's
financial condition as of September 30, 1997, and the results of its
operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and
1996.
3. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Partnership recorded loan loss provisions of approximately $250,000 and
$752,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively, compared to approximately $71,000 and $852,000 for the same
periods in 1996. At September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the allowance
for loan losses was approximately $7.4 million and $7.1 million,
respectively. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was
adequate given the composition, credit characteristics and loss experience
of the loan portfolio.
4. INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS
Prior to 1993, the Partnership entered into interest rate exchange
agreements to reduce the impact of future fluctuations in interest rates on
fixed rate mortgages funded by variable rate liabilities. The floating rates
to be received by the Partnership under the terms of these agreements are
reset monthly, quarterly or semi-annually and are generally indexed to the
FHLB Eleventh District Cost of Funds index or the one or three month London
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR").
In 1993, the sustained decline in interest rates in the general economy and
the resulting prepayment of mortgage loans associated with the interest rate
exchange agreements caused Eureka to establish a liability based on the
estimated fair value of interest rate exchange agreements that were no
longer deemed effective as hedges. During the quarter ended September 30,
1997, Eureka recorded a provision to non-interest expense on interest rate
exchange agreements of approximately $22,000 to reflect the effect of
interest rate decreases on the market value of Eureka's related obligations.
A net provision of approximately $17,000 was recorded for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. During the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1996, Eureka recorded to non-interest expense provisions (recoveries) on
interest rate exchange agreements of approximately $147,000 and ($422,000),
respectively, to reflect the effect of interest rate changes on the market
value of Eureka's related obligations. The recorded liability for the
interest rate exchange agreements totaled approximately $379,000 and $1.2
million at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. Net
interest payable on interest rate exchange agreements
5
<PAGE>
AMERICA FIRST FINANCIAL FUND 1987 - A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY
was $395,000 and $629,000 at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively, and was included in other liabilities and accrued expenses.
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, net interest
expense on interest rate exchange agreements (after amortization of the
interest rate exchange agreement liability of $253,000 and $872,000,
respectively) totaled approximately $130,000 and $550,000, respectively. For
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996, net interest expense
on interest rate exchange agreements (after amortization of the interest
rate exchange agreement liability of $351,000 and $1.4 million,
respectively) totaled approximately $238,000 and $622,000, respectively. Net
interest expense on interest rate exchange agreements is included as an
adjustment to interest income on loans. The notional amount of interest rate
exchange agreements outstanding was $55 million at September 30, 1997. The
notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements outstanding at December
31, 1996 was $100 million.
5. INCOME TAXES
The Partnership files calendar year federal and state Partnership
information returns, reporting its operations on an accrual basis. The
consolidated financial statement provisions for income tax for the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 relate to the
Partnership's subsidiary, AFEH and its subsidiaries. AFEH and its
subsidiaries file calendar year consolidated federal income and combined
California franchise tax returns.
Deferred tax assets were initially recognized for net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards and differences between the financial statements
carrying amount and the tax bases of assets and liabilities which would
result in future deduction amounts. A valuation allowance is established to
reduce the deferred tax assets to the level at which it is more likely than
not that the tax benefits will be recognized.
A valuation allowance is recorded if it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on a
review of available evidence. The allowance is subject to ongoing
adjustments based on changes in circumstances that affect management's
assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax assets. Adjustments to
increase or decrease the valuation allowance are charged or credited,
respectively, to income tax expense (benefit).
6. PROPOSED MERGER WITH BAY VIEW CAPITAL CORPORATION
On May 8, 1997, the Partnership announced that it had entered into a
definitive agreement with Bay View Capital Corporation with respect to a
merger of its subsidiary America First Eureka Holdings with Bay View (the
"Merger Agreement"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the
Partnership will receive $90 million in cash and $210 million in Bay View
common stock (subject to a minimum of 8,076,923 shares and a maximum of
10,000,000 shares) for all of its interest in America First Eureka Holdings,
which owns Eureka. If the market price of Bay View common stock (based on
the average closing prices over a specified period) is less than $21.00 per
share, the Partnership has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement
unless the total value of the shares of Bay View common stock to be received
is $210 million in addition to the cash portion of $90 million. The
transaction is expected to close on or about January 2, 1998, and is subject
to customary conditions, including approval by the BUC holders and Bay View
stockholders. Approval for the merger was received from the Office of Thrift
Supervision during the third quarter of 1997. Please refer to the
Partnership's Form 8-K dated May 16, 1997 for further information. The
number of Bay View shares to be received by the Partnership under the terms
of the Merger Agreement are adjusted for a Bay View 100% stock dividend
declared on April 14, 1997 to Bay View stockholders of record on May 9,
1997.
In May 1997, $10 million of the preferred stock issued to the FDIC was
redeemed. The $10 million in mandatorily redeemable non-voting Series A
Preferred Stock which remains outstanding would have been redeemed in May
1998, but will be redeemed when the merger is completed.

AMERICA FIRST FINANCIAL FUND 1987 - A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY
Under the terms of the Assistance Agreement, and as a result of the Merger
Agreement discussed above, the Partnership expects to pay a final
participation payment to the FDIC of approximately a range currently
estimated to be $8.5 million to $12.8 million from cash received at the time
of the merger. The final participation payment is in addition to the
redemption of the remaining $10 million in outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to the historical information contained in this Management's
Discussion and Analysis section, certain discussions contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors
could cause the actual results of operations and other information to differ
materially from those results of operations and other information discussed in
those forward-looking statements. Those factors include fluctuations in
interest rates, inflation, the impact of federal government legislation and
regulations (including changes in legislation and regulation), and economic
conditions and competition in the geographic and business area in which the
Partnership conducts its operations. The forward-looking statements are made as
of the date of this Form 10-Q and the Partnership undertakes no obligation to
publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or
circumstances. The interim information discussed below should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's 1996 Form 10-K, in particular the forward-
looking statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
PROPOSED MERGER WITH BAY VIEW CAPITAL CORPORATION
On May 8, 1997, the Partnership announced that it had entered into a definitive
agreement with Bay View Capital Corporation ("Bay View") with respect to a
merger of its subsidiary America First Eureka Holdings with Bay View (the
"Merger Agreement"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Partnership
will receive $90 million in cash and $210 million in Bay View common stock
(subject to a minimum of 8,076,923 shares and a maximum of 10,000,000 shares)
for all of its interest in America First Eureka Holdings, which owns Eureka.
If the market price of Bay View common stock (based on the average closing
prices over a specified period) is less than $21.00 per share, the Partnership
has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement unless the total value of the
shares of Bay View common stock to be received is $210 million in addition to
the cash portion of $90 million. The transaction is expected to close on or
about January 2, 1998, and is subject to customary conditions, including
approval by the BUC holders and Bay View stockholders. Approval for the merger
was received from the Office of Thrift Supervision during the third quarter of
1997. The number of Bay View shares to be received by the Partnership under the
terms of the Merger Agreement are adjusted to reflect a Bay View 100% stock
dividend declared on April 14, 1997 to Bay View stockholders of record on May 9,
1997. Please refer to the Partnership's Form 8-K dated May 16, 1997 for further
information regarding the merger. Excluding the FDIC final payment discussed in
"Assistance Agreement" below, and assuming a Bay View share price of $26,
expenses which will be recorded at the effective date of the merger are
estimated to be $33 million. See "Non-Interest Expense" for further discussion
on merger expenses. Actual expenses for merger related transactions
may be higher or lower than this estimate.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
At September 30, 1997, Partnership assets were approximately $2.3 billion, which
was approximately $41 million more than Partnership assets at December 31, 1996,
and consisted primarily of the assets of Eureka. Significant changes in the
composition of the balance sheet included the following:
. Net loans receivable, loans held for sale and net mortgage-backed securities
("MBS") decreased nominally during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
The net decrease in the loan and MBS portfolios were primarily due to
prepayments. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, Eureka
originated (net of sales) $76 million and $249 million in retail and
wholesale loans, respectively. Wholesale loan originations enable Eureka to
add assets that meet its credit quality guidelines within its market area,
and management believes that wholesale loan originations will continue to be
a significant percentage of total originations through 1997. Mortgage loans
purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 totaled $7 million.
There were no MBS additions during the first nine months of 1997. Repayments
and other deductions of $206 million and $125 million were
8
<PAGE>
AMERICA FIRST FINANCIAL FUND 1987 - A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY
recorded in the mortgage loan and MBS portfolios, respectively, during the
nine months ended September 30, 1997.
. Retail deposits increased approximately $125 million since December 31, 1996,
and totaled $2.0 billion at September 30, 1997. This increase is primarily
due to deposit promotion and retention incentives. The increases were
primarily in time deposits.
. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings decreased
approximately $83 million during the first nine months of 1997 to $68 million
at September 30, 1997. As of September 30, 1997, other liabilities decreased
approximately $3.4 million from December 31, 1996, primarily due to
reductions for accrued interest on borrowings and interest rate exchange
agreements, and other payables.
At September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the loan-to-deposit ratios were 78%
and 76%, respectively. Loans, MBS, federal funds sold, and securities purchased
under agreements to resell comprised approximately 95% of Partnership assets at
September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. As of September 30, 1997, short-term
advances/borrowings were essentially zero.
Cash distributions paid or accrued during the quarter ended September 30, 1997
totaled $.40 per BUC. The amount of cash distributions paid or accrued for the
third quarter of 1997 is consistent with the same period in 1996. Future
distributions are expected to be made principally from dividends paid to the
Partnership by AFEH. AFEH funds these dividends by receipt of dividends from
Eureka, the payment of which is subject to regulatory limitation. Accordingly,
it is not possible to estimate the level of cash distributions to BUC Holders in
the future.
ASSET QUALITY
The allowance for loan losses was $7.4 million and $7.1 million, or .48% and
.50% of gross loans outstanding at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively. Net non-performing assets (loans which were 90 or more days
delinquent and real estate acquired through foreclosure) were approximately $4.9
million and $5.7 million, or .22% and .26% of total assets at September 30, 1997
and December 31, 1996, respectively. This compares favorably to 1.24% for non-
performing assets as of June 30, 1997, for thrifts located in California as
reported by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). The allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was approximately 253% at
September 30, 1997 compared to approximately 159% at December 31, 1996.
Management believes that reserves are adequate given the composition, credit
characteristics and loss experience of the loan portfolio.
The level of loans 30 days or more delinquent was approximately $5.3 million or
.35% of loans at September 30, 1997, compared to approximately $7.4 million or
.53% of loans at December 31, 1996. This compares favorably to 2.25% for loans
30 days or more delinquent as of June 30, 1997, for thrifts located in
California as reported by the OTS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income (loss) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
approximately $5.2 million and $17.8 million, respectively, as compared to
($5.6) million and $5.3 million for the same periods in 1996. Net income (loss)
per BUC for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $.77 and
$2.56, respectively, as compared to ($.66) and $.95 for the same periods in
1996. The increase in net income and net income per BUC for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods in 1996 is
primarily due to the one-time Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")
assessment of $11 million recorded at September 30, 1996. The one-time SAIF
assessment reduced 1996 operations from approximately $16.3 million to $5.3
million during the first nine months. See "Deposit Insurance and Other Matters"
for further discussion of the SAIF

assessment.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income before the provision for loan losses for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1997, was approximately $15.5 million and $46.1
million, respectively, as compared to $14.9 million and $45.1 million for the
same periods in 1996. Net interest income is the Partnership's principal income
component and is determined by the relative levels of, and interest rates paid
on, interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Average interest
earning assets were approximately $2.2 billion for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, compared to approximately $2.2 billion and $2.3
billion, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996.
The net interest margin, the net yield on average assets, for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1997 was 2.82% and 2.77%, respectively, as
compared to 2.65% and 2.58% for the same periods in 1996. The net interest
margin improved in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to the same periods in 1996, as earnings on adjustable rate mortgage
loans remained stable and the cost of funds was lower. The 1997 cost of funds
was lower than 1996 due to the increase in lower-cost deposit liabilities which
offset the reduction of high-cost borrowed funds. The notional amount of
interest rate exchange agreements decreased from $100 million at December 31,
1996 to $55 million at September 30, 1997. Lower accretion of the recorded
liability for interest rate exchange agreements, offset by the expiration of
some of these agreements, decreased the net interest expense on interest rate
exchange agreements to $130,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, as
compared to $238,000 for the third quarter of 1996. The net interest expense
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $550,000, as compared to
$622,000 for the nine months ended September 30,1996.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Partnership recorded loan loss provisions of approximately $250,000 and
$752,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively,
as compared to $71,000 and $852,000 for the same periods in 1996. Asset quality
has continued to improve throughout 1997, resulting in a total decrease of
$100,000 from 1996 in the loan loss provision. See "Asset Quality" above for a
discussion of this matter. Net loan charge-offs, primarily on mortgage loans,
were $43,000 and $252,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1997, respectively, as compared to $95,000 and $459,000 for the same periods in
1996.
Eureka's determination of the allowance for loan losses and the resulting
provision for loan losses are based upon judgments and assumptions regarding
various factors including general economic conditions, internal asset review
findings, composition of the loan portfolio, historical loss experience and
estimates of potential future losses. Management believes that it has recorded
adequate provisions to the allowance for loan losses to cover potential losses,
particularly considering the low level of delinquencies and charge-offs
experienced by Eureka over the past five years and continued adherence to strict
credit quality control guidelines. The decrease in the provision for the first
nine months of 1997 is primarily due to strong asset quality and continued
improvement in the asset quality ratios as described above. Management will
continue to evaluate the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses
based on outstanding loan balances, net charge-offs and trends in asset quality.
However, future loss experience related to changes in the economy and interest
rate environment may vary.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
The principal components of non-interest income are deposit and loan related fee
income, gains on the disposition of loans and other income. Total non-interest
income increased to approximately $2.4 million and $7.6 million for the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to $1.7 million
and $5.0 million for the same periods in 1996, as a result primarily of gains on
real estate sales and other income adjustments discussed below.
10
<PAGE>
AMERICA FIRST FINANCIAL FUND 1987 - A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY
Deposit and loan related fees for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1997 were approximately $790,000 and $2.3 million, respectively, compared to
$797,000 and $2.4 million for the same periods in 1996.
Eureka originates "conforming loans" (fixed rate loans which meet the FHLMC
lending requirements) for sale in the secondary mortgage market. The net gain
from Eureka's loan sale activities was approximately $67,000 and $234,000 for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, on loan
sales of approximately $3.3 million and $11.8 million, respectively. During the
comparable periods a year earlier, Eureka sold conforming loans with principal
balances which totaled $3.4 million and $13.5 million, respectively, at a net
gain of approximately $56,000 and $210,000, respectively. The net gain from
loan sale activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
includes $107,000 and $121,000, respectively, of capitalized originated mortgage
servicing rights retained by Eureka.
Other non-interest income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1997 was approximately $1.6 million, and $5.1 million, respectively, compared to
$855,000 and $2.4 million for the same periods in 1996. The increase over 1996
for the first nine months in 1997 is primarily due to a gain of $1.5 million on
the sale of real estate investments, and various miscellaneous recoveries
including policy adjustments of $330,000 for insurance premiums, $150,000 for
contingencies, and $1.1 million for the reduction of previously established
reserves no longer considered necessary. Approximately $959,000 of the above
gains and miscellaneous recoveries was recorded during the third quarter of
1997.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
The principal components of non-interest expense are compensation and benefits
expense, occupancy and equipment expense, FDIC insurance premiums, professional
and advertising expense, provision for loss (recovery) on interest rate exchange
agreements and other administrative expenses. Non-interest expense for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 was approximately $12.1 million
and $34.2 million, respectively. The quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1997 included $389,000 and $886,000, respectively, of merger expenses for
professional services and personnel expenses. Excluding these expenses, non-
interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
approximately $11.7 million and $33.3 million, respectively, as compared to
$22.1 million and $44.0 million for the same periods in 1996. The third quarter
of 1996, however, included a SAIF assessment of $11.0 million which had a
material impact on the quarter and annual earnings in 1996. Excluding the SAIF
one-time assessment, non-interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was $11.1 million and $33.0 million, respectively.
Compensation and benefits expenses were approximately $6.7 million and $18.4
million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively,
compared to approximately $5.4 million and $16.0 million for the same periods in
1996. The increase in 1997 expenses is primarily due to increases in base
compensation and adjustments to accruals for bonuses and incentive awards.
Incentives to retain employees through the merger closing date increased
compensation expenses by $193,000 for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1997. Further, upon consummation of the Merger, the Partnership
expects to pay additional compensation under the terms of its two incentive
compensation plans of approximately $25 million based upon a Bay View share
price of $26. The additional compensation expense under the plans is contingent
upon completion of the merger. See "Proposed Merger with Bay View Capital
Corporation" for further discussion on this matter.
Occupancy and equipment expenses totaled $2.0 million and $5.9 million for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to
$2.0 million and $6.3 million for the same periods in 1996. FDIC insurance
premiums, professional and advertising expenses were approximately $994,000 and
$3.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, which
included merger related expenses for professional and other administrative
services of $196,000 and $693,000 for the same periods. FDIC insurance premiums,
professional and advertisement expenses in 1996 were $12.7 million and $15.9
million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996; as noted
above, the 1996 periods' expenses included the one-time SAIF premium of $11.0
11

AMERICA FIRST FINANCIAL FUND 1987 - A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY
million. See "Deposit Insurance and Other Matters" for a further discussion of
deposit insurance.
Non-interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997
included adjustments to the interest rate exchange agreements liability
established in 1993. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1997, net provisions of approximately $22,000 and $17,000, respectively, were
recorded to increase the interest rate exchange agreements liability to reflect
the effect of interest rate decreases on the market value of Eureka's
obligations under the interest rate exchange agreements. During the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1996, provisions (recoveries) of approximately
$147,000 and ($422,000), respectively, were recorded to reflect the effect of
interest rate changes on the market value of Eureka's obligations under the
interest rate exchange agreements.
Other non-interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1997 totaled $2.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively, compared to $1.9
million and $6.2 million for the same periods in 1996. The increase in other
non-interest expense in 1997 compared to 1996 is due mostly to broker fees on
wholesale loans as a result of increases in wholesale loan originations in 1997
versus 1996.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
Due to the net operating loss carryforwards available to AFEH arising from the
acquisition of Eureka, AFEH does not expect to pay any regular income taxes in
1997. AFEH paid no alternative minimum taxes in the quarter and $370,000 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to $165,000 and $545,000 in
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996. Alternative minimum taxes
paid by AFEH are recorded as deferred tax assets as they result in tax credits
with an indefinite life and will be used to offset future regular and income tax
liabilities.
As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 ("SFAS No.
109"), management periodically reevaluates the realizability of the deferred tax
assets and adjusts the valuation allowance so that the resulting level of the
net deferred tax assets will, more likely than not, be realized. As of December
31, 1996, an adjustment of $26.2 million was recorded to reduce the valuation
allowance for net deferred tax assets primarily for the recognition of estimated
benefits from net operating loss carryforwards. In addition, an additional
adjustment of $6.9 million was recorded to reduce the valuation allowance
through September 30, 1997.
The reevaluation and resulting adjustment of the deferred tax asset valuation
allowance occurred due to a number of factors which arose during the latter
portion of 1996. With the enactment in August 1996 of legislation which
repealed the tax deduction for bad debt reserves, and the later enactment of the
SAIF recapitalization legislation which resulted in the special one-time
assessment paid by Eureka (and all other SAIF-insured institutions), Eureka
determined that it may be able to utilize net operating loss carryforward
benefits that had previously been reserved against in the valuation allowance.
Further, Eureka's strong financial results in 1996 and its consistent financial
performance during the preceding two fiscal years, coupled with the forecast of
a stable interest rate environment in the short term, separately indicated the
likelihood that Eureka might be able to utilize additional net operating loss
carryforward benefits against net pre-tax income generated in future financial
reporting periods. Accordingly, Eureka reassessed the recoverability of the net
deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 1996 and concluded that a downward
adjustment in the valuation allowance for net operating loss carryforwards, as
of the end of 1996, was appropriate. Federal net operating loss carryforwards
were approximately $209 million at December 31, 1996, with various expiration
dates through 2007. State net operating loss carryforwards were approximately
$29 million at December 31, 1996, and expire in 1997. To the extent such
carryforwards are used by AFEH, the FDIC may be entitled to share in the benefit
of the utilization. See "Assistance Agreement" below for further discussion.
Net deferred tax assets totaled $22.1 million and $22.6 million at September 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. A valuation allowance is recorded if
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized based on a review of available evidence. The allowance is
subject to ongoing adjustments
12
<PAGE>
AMERICA FIRST FINANCIAL FUND 1987 - A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY
based on changes in circumstances that affect management's assessment of the
realizability of the deferred tax assets. Adjustments to increase or decrease
the valuation allowance are charged or credited, respectively, to income tax
expense (benefit).
ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Assistance Agreement between Eureka and the FDIC entered
into in 1988 in connection with the assisted acquisition of the assets and
liabilities of Eureka Federal Savings and Loan Association, $50 million in
preferred stock was issued to the FDIC. In 1990, $30 million of the preferred
stock was redeemed by the FDIC, and in May 1997, an additional $10 million of
the preferred stock was redeemed. The $10 million in non-voting Series A
Preferred Stock which remains outstanding is mandatorily redeemable in May 1998,
and has a liquidation value of $100 per share. The holder of this preferred
stock is not entitled to dividends. The remaining preferred stock is being
accreted through the redemption date of 1998, and the accretion is recorded as
interest expense on other borrowings. The accretion for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 totaled approximately $299,000 and $1.4 million,
respectively, as compared to $560,000 and $1.6 million for the same periods in
1996, and is included in interest expense.
Upon completion of the merger between AFEH and Bay View, the outstanding
mandatorily redeemable non-voting Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemed
prior to its scheduled maturity of May 1998. Under the terms of the Assistance
Agreement, and as a result of the Merger Agreement discussed above, the
Partnership also expects to pay a final participation payment to the FDIC of
approximately a range currently estimated to be $8.5 million to $12.8 million
from cash received at the time of the merger, depending upon the resolution of
tax matters. The final participation payment is in addition to the redemption of
the remaining $10 million in outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND INTEREST RATE RISK
Eureka's Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") is a board of
directors committee responsible for managing Eureka's assets and liabilities in
a manner which balances profitability and risks, including interest rate risk
("IRR"). ALCO operates within policies and risk limits prescribed and reviewed
regularly by the board of directors. IRR is the impact of market interest rates
on Eureka's net income, both in the short-term and long-term. Interest rate
changes impact earnings in several ways, including an effect upon the yields on
variable rate loans, and the cost of deposits and other sources of funds. In
addition, borrowers are more motivated to repay and refinance loans when rates
decline, and the market values of securities and other investments fluctuate
based on interest rate changes.
Eureka manages interest rate fluctuations by simulating (modeling) the impact of
a variety of potential interest rate movements, customer behaviors, and market
conditions to identify conditions under which profitability would be adversely
affected. The simulation of various interest rate movements is used in
determining appropriate loan pricing and terms, and also to estimate prepayments
of loans in a declining rate environment. Various scenarios are simulated to
determine an appropriate asset and liability mix which protects capital funds
even under stress from unexpected changes in interest rates.
A common measure of financial institution IRR is the interest rate "gap." This
is the difference between the amount of assets and liabilities which are
expected to mature or reprice within a specific time period (such as one or
three years). A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate
sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities, and
is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities
exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing
within a given period. At September 30, 1997, Eureka's cumulative one-year and
three-year interest rate gaps were 0% and a negative 3% of total assets,
respectively. In the case of the one-year gap, this suggests that the net
interest margin would be unchanged if interest rates were to rise. At September
30, 1996, Eureka's cumulative one-year and three-year interest rate gaps were a
positive 3% and a
13
<PAGE>
AMERICA FIRST FINANCIAL FUND 1987 - A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY
negative 1% of total assets, respectively. In the case of the one-year gap, this
suggests that the net interest margin would be increased if interest rates were
to rise.
Management is of the opinion that simulating various interest rate scenarios is
a significantly more effective measure of IRR because it incorporates specific
assumptions not considered in the "gap" analyses. The assumptions which are
excluded from "gap" analyses include: (a) how rate movements affect important
borrower prepayment behavior, (b) that all loans and deposits will not reprice
to the same degree or by the same magnitude or at the same time, (c) that rate
changes for assets and liabilities in the "over one year" category have a
greater long-term earnings impact than those assets and liabilities "under one
year," and (d) some liabilities (such as checking accounts) do not have
"repricing" maturities but are significantly affected by interest rate
movements.
The exposure to IRR as of September 30, 1997 is within the limits established by
the board of directors, and the level of IRR is considered acceptable in view of
expected market conditions and the potential for adverse developments in
interest rate levels.
LIQUIDITY
Eureka derives its primary liquidity from loan repayments, customer deposits,
FHLB advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Eureka
manages liquidity by coordinating the relative maturities of assets and
liabilities. A much larger source of liquidity is the base of readily
marketable assets, as well as ready access to secured borrowings. The sources
of liquidity are influenced by various uncertainties, primarily market interest
rates. Eureka continually evaluates its sources of funds, and a decline in any
one source of funds generally can be offset by an alternate source, although
potentially at a different cost. At September 30, 1997, Eureka had outstanding
loan funding commitments of approximately $89 million. Management believes that
existing liquidity and other capital resources are adequate to fund existing and
anticipated commitments at September 30, 1997.
Regulations require a savings institution to maintain a liquidity ratio of at
least five percent of cash and specified securities to net withdrawable accounts
and borrowings due in one year. For the month of September 1997, Eureka's
liquidity ratio was 6.00% compared to 5.86% for the month of December 1996.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Federal regulations also require that savings institutions meet three separate
capital tests: a tangible capital standard, a core capital standard and a
risk-based capital standard. At September 30, 1997, Eureka maintained
regulatory capital as follows:

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), "Earnings
Per Share." This statement specifies the computation, presentation, and
disclosure requirements for earnings per share ("EPS"). It replaces the
computation of primary EPS with the computation of basic EPS (net income
applicable to common stock divided by average common shares outstanding). This
statement also requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the
face of the income statement and a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of both EPS computations.
SFAS No. 128 is effective with the Partnership's year-end 1997 financial
statements; earlier application is not permitted, however the statement requires
restatement of all prior period EPS data presented including interim periods.
The basic and diluted EPS as calculated under SFAS No. 128 for the Partnership's
quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 would not differ
materially from the existing earnings per BUC as presently calculated under APB
15.
In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
129 ("SFAS No. 129"), "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure." This
statement establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's
capital structure. SFAS No. 129 is effective with the Partnership's year-end
1997 financial statements and interim periods thereafter.
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130
("SFAS No. 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.
It requires that the Partnership classify items of other comprehensive income,
as defined by accounting standards, by their nature in a financial statement,
but does not specify a particular format for the
15
<PAGE>
AMERICA FIRST FINANCIAL FUND 1987 - A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY
statement. The Partnership is in the process of determining the format it will
employ. The statement also requires that the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income be displayed as a separate component of partners' capital
in the balance sheet.
SFAS No. 130 is effective with the Partnership's year-end 1998 financial
statements; however, a total for comprehensive income is required in the
financial statements beginning with the first quarter of 1998. Reclassification
of financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is
required.
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131
("SFAS No. 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." This statement establishes standards for the way that public
business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual
financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosure about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is
effective with the Partnership's year-end 1998 financial statements and interim
periods thereafter.
In January, 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted rule
amendments to enhance existing disclosure requirements for derivative financial
instruments as well as for market risks to which registrants are exposed. The
enhanced accounting policy disclosure requirements are effective for the
quarterly periods in 1997. Since the Partnership believes that the derivative
financial instrument disclosures contained within the notes to the consolidated
financial statements of its 1996 Form 10-K substantially conform with the
accounting policy requirements of these rule amendments, no further interim
period disclosure has been provided. The rule amendments that require enhanced
disclosure about market risk are effective with the 1997 Form 10-K.
DEPOSIT INSURANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
Eureka's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") up to the maximum amount provided by law through the SAIF. For the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, Eureka paid deposit insurance
premiums to the SAIF of $295,000 and $882,000, respectively, based on an annual
assessment rate of approximately .065% of covered deposits for the first quarter
of 1997, and .063% of covered deposits for the second and third quarters of
1997.
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996, excluding the one-time
SAIF assessment discussed below, Eureka paid deposit insurance premiums to the
SAIF of $1.0 and $2.9 million, respectively, based on an annual assessment rate
of approximately .23% of covered deposits through September 30, 1996.
On September 30, 1996, the President signed an appropriations bill which
included provisions to recapitalize the SAIF. Under the provisions of the bill,
the SAIF was recapitalized through a combined approach of imposing a one-time
special assessment on SAIF-insured institutions, and an incremental pro-rata
charge on SAIF-insured institutions and commercial banks insured under the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF"), to be used to pay the interest on Financing Corporation
("FICO") bonds issued as part of the 1989 savings association rescue package
adopted under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act
of 1989 ("FIRREA"). The SAIF recapitalization provisions imposed a one-time
special assessment of 65.7 basis points (approximately $11 million for Eureka)
on deposits held by SAIF-insured institutions as of March 31, 1995, payable not
later than 60 days after the enactment of the legislation, and reduced the
annual assessment rate for SAIF-insured institutions from 23 basis points to 6.4
basis points (a reduction of approximately $3 million annually based upon
Eureka's insured deposits at September 30, 1996) beginning in 1997. Although
deposit premiums for thrifts will continue to be higher than the banking
industry's through the year 2000, the premium reduction significantly reduced
the inequity of Eureka paying a deposit premium significantly higher than that
of a similarly sized commercial bank. Beginning January 1, 2000, SAIF-insured
and

BIF-insured deposits alike will be assessed on a pro-rata basis (expected to be
at a rate of approximately 2.4 basis points) to repay the FICO bonds until the
year 2017, and thereafter phased out, with the phase-out being completed in
2019.
The BIF/SAIF recapitalization legislation also provides for a merger of the BIF
and SAIF on January 1, 1999, if no SAIF-insured institutions exist on that date.
This provision, therefore, will not become effective unless Congress enacts
additional legislation abolishing the savings association charter effective
prior to January 1, 1999. In this regard, Congress currently is considering
comprehensive financial services reform measures involving, among other things,
the merger of the BIF and SAIF, and abolition of the thrift charter. Prospects
for enactment of this legislation in 1997 are highly uncertain; if legislation
is not passed in 1997, however, Congress is expected to take up consideration of
financial services reform legislation in 1998.
Other provisions of the 1996 legislation: (i) authorized the bank regulatory
agencies to take action to prevent depository institutions from taking advantage
of the BIF/SAIF premium disparity by "deposit-shifting" from the SAIF to the
BIF; (ii) strengthened existing prohibitions on the FDIC's increasing the risk-
based premiums for deposit insurance which would result in the statutory
Designated Reserve Ratio for the two federal deposit insurance funds (calculated
as a percentage of insured deposits for each fund) exceeding 1.25%; (iii)
authorized the FDIC to refund assessments paid in excess of amounts due; and
(iv) prohibit the FDIC, prior to January 1, 1999, from setting SAIF premiums at
levels less than BIF premiums.
In August 1996, the President signed legislation which included provisions that
repeal the thrift bad debt reserve method of calculation under the Internal
Revenue Code, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995. Most
large savings associations (including Eureka) are required to change to the
specific charge-off method of accounting for bad debts and will be required to
recapture statutory "excess reserves" as provided in the legislation. In the
case of an institution that meets certain residential lending requirements of
the legislation, recapture of statutory "excess reserves" can be deferred for up
to two years. Eureka met the residential lending requirements of the
legislation for 1996. Eureka's management expects to meet the residential
lending requirements of the legislation and to defer the recapture of the
statutory "excess reserves" for 1997. Management expects that the above
provisions will not have a significant impact on Eureka due to the substantial
amount of net operating loss carryforwards which are available.
