Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
         ------------------------------------

     On November 1, 1999, Bay View Capital  Corporation  ("Bay View") issued the
press  release  included  as  Exhibit  99 to this  report  and  incorporated  by
reference herein,  announcing the consummation of its merger (the "Merger") with
Franchise  Mortgage   Acceptance  Company  ("FMAC").   Bay  View's  Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-86621) (the "Registration Statement"),  sets
forth  information  regarding  the Merger, including  the merger  agreement, the
effective time and manner of the Merger,  a description of the assets  involved,
the nature and amount of consideration paid, the method used for determining the
amount of such  consideration,  the nature of any  material  relationships,  the
nature of FMAC's  business and Bay View's intended use of the assets acquired in
the Merger.

Item 7.   Financial Statements and Exhibits
          ---------------------------------

     (a)  Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

          The Consolidated Financial Statements,  and the notes thereto, of FMAC
          (Commission File No. 0-23282) are contained in FMAC's Annual Report on
          Form  10-K/A  for the  fiscal  year ended  December  31,  1998 and its
          Quarterly  Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly  periods ended March
          31 and June 30, 1999, and are incorporated herein by reference.

    (b)  Pro Forma Financial Information.

         The Unaudited Pro  Forma Condensed  Combined  Financial  Information of
         Bay  View  and   FMAC are  contained  on  pages  60  through  64 of the
         Registration Statement and are incorporated herein by reference.

         Bay View  continues to  evaluate the  purchase  accounting  adjustments
         related to the Merger.  The amount of goodwill to be recorded as of the
         Merger  date  is   expected  to be  approximately  $200  million.  This
         goodwill amount   represents the preliminary  estimate of the excess of
         the  purchase   price over the fair value of net  assets  acquired  and
         liabilities  assumed based on information available as of this date. No
         assurance  can be given that the final goodwill amount will not be more
         or less than this estimated amount.

     (c)  Exhibits.

          The exhibits  listed on the  accompanying  Exhibit  Index are filed as
          part of this Report and are incorporated herein by reference.
