   On January 3, 1996, First Nationwide Bank, A Federal Savings Bank merged
with and into California Federal Bank, A Federal Savings Bank (the "Cal Fed
Acquisition"). Unless the context otherwise indicates, (i) "First Nationwide"
refers to First Nationwide Bank, A Federal Savings Bank prior to the
consummation of the Cal Fed Acquisition, (ii) "Cal Fed" and "California
Federal" refer to Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. and California Federal Bank, A Federal
Savings Bank, respectively, prior to the consummation of the Cal Fed
Acquisition and (iii) the "Bank" refers to California Federal Bank, A Federal
Savings Bank, the surviving entity after consummation of the Cal Fed
Acquisition. Other capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Glossary of Terms that begins on page P-33 of
Exhibit 99.1.

ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

   (a) On January 3, 1997, First Nationwide Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), the
parent company of First Nationwide consummated the Cal Fed Acquisition. The Cal
Fed Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") dated as of July 27, 1996 between Holdings, Cal Fed and
California Federal. Following the consummation of the Cal Fed Acquisition,
Holdings contributed the capital stock of Cal Fed to First Nationwide. Cal Fed
was then liquidated and First Nationwide was merged with California Federal,
with California Federal being the surviving bank.

   Under the Merger Agreement, each share of Cal Fed common stock outstanding
at the effective time of the merger (other than shares for which dissenter's
rights were perfected, shares held directly or indirectly by Holdings and
shares held as treasury stock) were converted into and became the right to
receive a cash payment of $23.50 and one-tenth of one Secondary Contingent
Litigation Recovery Participation Interest ("Secondary Litigation Interest").
The holders of options or warrants to purchase the common stock of Cal Fed
received, for each share subject to such options or warrants, the difference
between $23.50 and the applicable per share option price, one-tenth of one
Secondary Litigation Interest and, in certain circumstances, one-tenth of one
Contingent Litigation Recovery Participation Interest ("Litigation Interest").
No fractional Secondary Litigation Interests were issued in the merger. The
stockholders of Cal Fed who would otherwise receive fractional interests
received their ratable share of the aggregate net cash proceeds obtained (after
deducting certain selling expenses) from aggregating the fractional interests
into the nearest whole number of Secondary Litigation Interests and selling
such Secondary Litigation Interests on the open market.

   The aggregate cash consideration paid under the Merger Agreement was
approximately $1.2 billion. Holdings obtained the funds necessary to finance
the Cal Fed Acquisition and pay related fees and expenses from the following
sources:

   (i) the net proceeds of approximately $555 million from the issuance of $575
million of 10 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2003 ("10 5/8% Notes") by
First Nationwide Escrow Corp., which was merged with and into Holdings in
connection with the Cal Fed Acquisition;

   (ii) a $145 million investment, funded by borrowings under a credit
facility, by a newly formed Delaware corporation, all of the common stock of
which is owned by Gerald J. Ford, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer and a director of the Bank, in exchange for $150 million aggregate
liquidation value of Holdings' Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Holdings
Preferred Stock"); and

   (iii) existing cash.

   The net proceeds from the 10 5/8% Notes and the Holdings Preferred Stock
were contributed to First Nationwide concurrent with the Cal Fed Acquisition in
the Capital Contribution.

   In connection with the merger of California Federal with First Nationwide,
each share of First Nationwide's 11 1/2% Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred
Stock ("11 1/2% Preferred Stock") was converted into and became one share of
preferred stock of the Bank, which preferred stock has the same relative
rights, terms and preferences as the 11 1/2% Preferred Stock.

   (b) As of September 30, 1996, First Nationwide had approximately $16.8
billion in assets and approximately $8.8 billion in deposits, and operated 116
branches in California, Florida and Texas. After giving effect to the Cal Fed
Acquisition and the Capital Contribution at September 30, 1996, First
Nationwide would have had approximately $31.0 billion in assets, approximately
$17.6 billion in deposits,

                                       2
<PAGE>

would have operated approximately 227 branches and would have ranked at such
date as the fourth largest thrift in the United States in terms of assets,
based on published sources. As a result of the Cal Fed Acquisition, the Bank
has a substantial presence in Northern and Southern California.

   NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises and obligations
hereunder, the parties hereto adopt and make this Plan and prescribe the terms
and conditions hereof and the manner and basis of carrying it into effect,
which shall be as follows:

                            ARTICLE I. THE MERGER

   SECTION 1.1. Structure of the Merger. On the Effective Date, Merger Sub will
merge (the "Merger") with and into the Company, with the Company being the
surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"), pursuant to the provisions
of, and with the effect provided in, the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"State Corporation Law"). The separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall
thereupon cease. The Surviving Corporation shall continue to be governed by the
State Corporation Law and its separate corporate existence with all of its
rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected
by the Merger. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and
by-laws of the Merger Sub, in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time,
shall become the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving
Corporation. At the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub
shall become the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation.

   SECTION 1.2. Effect on Outstanding Shares. (a) By virtue of the Merger,
automatically and without any action on the part of the holders of Company
Common Stock, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding at the
Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares (as defined below)) shall become and
be converted into the right to receive (i) $23.50 in cash without interest and
(ii) one-tenth of a Secondary Participation Interest (as defined below),
provided, however, that no fractional Secondary Participation Interests shall
be issued, holders of Company Common Stock who would otherwise receive
fractional Secondary Participation Interests shall not be entitled thereto and
such holders shall receive their respective pro rata portion of the cash
proceeds (net of aggregate commissions and any other selling expenses) obtained
from the Exchange Agent (as hereinafter defined) batching such fractional
Secondary Participation Interests together with the fractional Secondary
Participation Interests that would otherwise be received by holders of options
and warrants pursuant to Section 1.5 into the nearest aggregate whole number of
Secondary Participation Interests (collectively, the "Batched Secondary
Participation Interests") and effecting the sale (the "Batched Sales") of the
Batched Secondary Participation Interests on the open market at prevailing
prices in accordance with Section 1.3(c) (collectively the consideration
described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), including any cash payment
from the proceeds of the Batched Sales, is referred to herein as the "Merger
Consideration"). As of the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock
held directly or indirectly by the Acquiror, other than shares held in a
fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted, and
shares held as treasury stock of the Company, shall be cancelled and retired
and cease to exist, and no exchange or payment shall be made with respect
thereto.

   (b) The shares of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become shares of the Surviving
Corporation after the Merger and shall thereafter constitute all of the issued
and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

   (c) "Excluded Shares" shall mean (i) shares of Company Common Stock the
holder of which (the "Dissenting Stockholder"), pursuant to the State
Corporation Law providing for dissenters' or appraisal rights, is entitled to
receive payment in accordance with the provisions of such State Corporation
Law,

                                      A-2
<PAGE>

such holder to have only the rights provided in such State Corporation Law (the
"Dissenters' Shares"), (ii) shares of Company Common Stock held directly or
indirectly by the Acquiror, other than shares held in fiduciary capacity or in
satisfaction of a debt previously contracted and (iii) shares of Company Common
Stock held as treasury stock by the Company.

   SECTION 1.3. Exchange Procedures. (a) At and after the Effective Time, each
certificate (each a "Certificate") previously representing shares of Company
Common Stock shall represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration
(without interest on the cash portion thereof).

   (b) As of the Effective Time, (i) the Acquiror shall deposit, or shall cause
to be deposited, with ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C., a New Jersey
limited liability company (the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of the
holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this
Section 1.3, the amount constituting the cash portion of the Merger
Consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 1.2, and (ii) the Company shall
deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the
benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, one or more
certificates representing (x) the Secondary Participation Interests to be
distributed to holders of Company Common Stock in exchange for their
Certificates pursuant to this Section 1.3 and (y) the Batched Secondary
Participation Interests to be sold by the Exchange Agent on behalf of the
Company in the Batched Sales pursuant to Sections 1.2 and 1.3(c).

   (c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Acquiror shall
cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or
Certificates the following: (i) a letter of transmittal specifying that
delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates
shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, which
shall be in a form and contain any other reasonable provisions as the Acquiror
may determine; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. In addition, as soon as
practicable after the Effective Time, the Batched Secondary Participation
Interests shall be sold on the open market at prevailing prices by means of the
Batched Sales. The Exchange Agent shall be instructed by the Surviving
Corporation to effect the Batched Sales on behalf of the Surviving Corporation,
through the use of one or more broker-dealers, over a period of time following
the Effective Time and in a manner designed not to adversely affect the market
prices of the Secondary Participation Interests. Upon the proper surrender of a
Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed and duly
executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such Certificate shall be
entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check representing the cash portion
of the Merger Consideration and a certificate representing such number of
Secondary Participation Interests which such holder has the right to receive in
respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions hereof, and
the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will
be paid or accrued on the cash portion of the Merger Consideration. In the
event of a transfer of ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock not
registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for the cash portion
of the Merger Consideration and a certificate representing the applicable
number of Secondary Participation Interests may be issued to the transferee if
the Certificate representing such Company Common Stock is presented to the
Exchange Agent, accompanied by documents sufficient, in the reasonable
discretion of the Acquiror and the Exchange Agent, (i) to evidence and effect
such transfer and (ii) to evidence that all applicable stock transfer taxes
have been paid.

   (d) From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the
stock transfer records of the Company of any shares of Company Common Stock
that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the
Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Acquiror or the Surviving
Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration
deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Plan in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 1.3.

   (e) Any portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration or the proceeds of any
investments thereof that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company
for one year after the Effective Time shall be repaid or delivered, as
applicable, by the Exchange Agent to the Acquiror. Any stockholders of the
Company who have not theretofore complied with this Section 1.3 shall
thereafter look only to the Acquiror for payment of their Merger Consideration
deliverable in respect of each share of Company

                                      A-3
<PAGE>

Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Plan without
any interest on the cash portion of the Merger Consideration. If outstanding
Certificates are not surrendered or the payment for them not claimed prior to
the date on which such payments would otherwise escheat to or become the
property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the
extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the
property of the Acquiror (and to the extent not in its possession shall be paid
over to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously
entitled to such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Acquiror,
the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be
liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered to
a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar
laws.

   (f) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed,
upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such
Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange
Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange
Agent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made
against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger
Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Plan.

   SECTION 1.4. Dissenters' Rights. Any Dissenting Stockholder who shall be
entitled to be paid the "fair value" of his or her Dissenters' Shares, as
provided in Section 262 of the State Corporation Law, shall not be entitled to
the Merger Consideration, unless and until the holder thereof shall have failed
to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder's right to
dissent from the Merger under the State Corporation Law, and shall be entitled
to receive only the payment to the extent provided for by Section 262 of the
State Corporation Law with respect to such Dissenters' Shares. If any
Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively
withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, the Dissenters' Shares held by such
Dissenting Stockholder shall thereupon be treated as though such Dissenters'
Shares had been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration
pursuant to Section 1.2.

   SECTION 1.5. Options. At the Effective Time, each option or warrant granted
by the Company pursuant to the Company Stock Plans to purchase shares of
Company Common Stock, which is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to
the Effective Time, whether or not then vested and exercisable, shall be
terminated and each grantee thereof shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, in lieu of each share of Company Common Stock that would otherwise
have been issuable upon exercise, (A) an amount in cash computed by multiplying
(i) the difference between (x) $23.50 and (y) the per share exercise price
applicable to such option or warrant by (ii) the number of such shares of
Company Common Stock subject to such option or warrant, (B) to the extent
applicable, the number of Participation Interests reserved for issuance upon
exercise of such stock options, and (C) one-tenth of a Secondary Participation
Interest for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such option or
warrant, provided however, that no fractional Secondary Participation Interests
shall be issued, holders of such options or warrants who would otherwise
receive fractional Secondary Participation Interests shall not be entitled
thereto and such holders shall receive their respective pro rata portion of the

    extent permitted by law, and all premiums and assessments required to be

       event which with due notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a
       default under), or result in the termination of, accelerate the
       performance required by, or result in the creation of any lien, pledge,
       security interest, charge or other encumbrance upon any of the

       deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement, instrument or
       obligation to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party,
       or to which any of their respective properties or assets may be bound or
       affected, provided, however, that with respect to the Bank and the Bank
       Merger, the foregoing representation is subject to the execution and
       delivery of the Bank Merger Documents and the receipt of Bank Merger
       Approval.

        (ii) Except for (A) the filing of an application with the Office of
       Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") and approval of such application, (B) the
       filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") of a
       proxy statement in definitive form relating to the meeting of the
       Company's stockholders to be held in connection with this Plan and the
       transactions contemplated hereby (the "Proxy Statement"), (C) the
       adoption of the agreement of merger (within the meaning of Section 251
       of the State Corporation Law) contained in this Plan by the requisite
       vote of the stockholders of the Company, (D) the filing of the
       certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of
       Delaware pursuant to the State Corporation Law (the "Certification of

       (f)(ii) of the Company's Disclosure Letter, (F) the filing with the OTS
       of a registration statement covering the issuance and distribution of

       effectiveness of such registration statement, and (G) such consents and
       approvals of third parties which are not Governmental Entities (as
       defined below) the failure of which to obtain will not have and would
       not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the
       Company, no consents or approvals of, or filings or registrations with,
       any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental
       authority or instrumentality (each a "Governmental Entity") or with any
       third party are necessary in connection with the execution and delivery
       by the Company of this Plan and the Option Agreement and the
       consummation by the Company of the Merger and the other transactions
       contemplated hereby, and the Company knows of no reason why the
       Requisite Regulatory Approvals (as defined in Section 5.1(b)) should not
       be obtained.

     (g) Financial Statements. The Company has previously made available to the
    Acquiror copies of (i) the consolidated statements of financial condition
    of the Bank and its Subsidiaries as of December 31 for the fiscal years
    1994 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations,

    under the Exchange Act, and (iii) the unaudited internal report to the
    Company's Board setting forth financial results for the six months ended

    Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, and the other financial statements

    shareholders' equity and consolidated financial position of the entity or
    entities to which they relate for the respective fiscal periods or as of
    the respective dates therein set forth. Each of such statements (including
    the related notes, where applicable) complies, and the financial statements
    referred to in Section 4.17 hereof will comply, in all material respects,
    with applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and
    regulations of the OTS or the SEC, as applicable, with respect thereto, and

    been, and the financial statements referred to in Section 4.17 will be,
    prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods
    involved, except in each case as indicated in such statements or in the
    notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form
    10-Q.

Subsidiaries, as each of them is in effect on the date hereof.

Bank (at meetings duly called and held) have by the requisite vote of all
directors present (i) determined that the Merger is

                                      A-16
<PAGE>

advisable and (ii) approved this Plan, the Merger and (in the case of the
Company's Board of Directors) the Option Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and at its respective meeting, the Board of
Directors of the Company has further determined that the Merger is in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders and has directed that, subject to
the provisions of applicable law, this Plan be submitted for consideration by
the Company's stockholders at a meeting of such stockholders.

   (aa) Indemnification. Except as set forth in Section 3.3 (aa) of the
Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party
to any indemnification agreement with any of its present or future directors,
officers, employees, agents or other persons who serve or served in any other
capacity with any other enterprise at the request of the Company (a "Covered
Person"), and to the best knowledge of the Company, there are no claims for
which any Covered Person would be entitled to indemnification under Section 4.7
if such provisions were deemed to be in effect.

   Loans. Each loan, other than any commercial or other loan the principal
amount of which does not exceed $500,000 or $750,000, respectively, reflected
as an asset on the consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company
and its Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1996, and as of each date subsequent
thereto for which the Company shall have delivered financial statements to the
Acquiror pursuant to Section 4.17 hereof, (i) is evidenced by notes, agreements
or other evidences of indebtedness which are true and genuine, except where the
failure of any such loan to be so evidenced, either individually or in the
aggregate, would not have or be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect on the Company, and (ii) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of
the obligor named therein, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance and other laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
principles. All such loans and extensions of credit that have been made by the
Bank and that are subject to Section 11 of HOLA comply therewith. Section
3.3(bb) of the Company's Disclosure Letter includes (i) a listing of all such
loans referred to in the first sentence of this Section 3.3(bb) the principal
of which is past due or will become due within six months or less of June 30,
1996 and (ii) a listing of each loan, commitment or other borrowing management
with any director, executive officer or ten percent stockholder of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any person, corporation or enterprise
controlling, controlled by or under common control with any of the foregoing.

   (cc) Derivatives Contracts; Structured Notes; Etc. Except as set forth in
Section 3.3 (cc) of the Company's Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or has agreed to enter into an exchange
traded or over-the-counter equity, interest rate, foreign exchange or other
swap, forward, future, option, cap, floor or collar or any other contract that
is not included on the balance sheet and is a derivative contract (including
various combinations thereof) (each a "Derivative Contract") or owns securities
that (l) are referred to generically as "structured notes," "high risk mortgage
derivatives," "capped floating rate notes" or "capped floating rate mortgage
derivatives" or (2) are likely to have changes in value as a result of interest
or exchange rate changes that significantly exceed normal changes in value
attributable to interest or exchange rate changes, except for those Derivatives
Contracts and other instruments legally purchased or entered into in the
ordinary course of business, consistent with safe and sound banking practices
and regulatory guidance, and listed (as of the date hereof) in paragraph
3.3(cc) of its Disclosure Letter or disclosed in the Company Reports filed on
or prior to the date hereof. All of such Derivative Contracts or other
instruments are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company or one of
its Subsidiaries enforceable in accordance with their terms (except as
enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity whether applied in a
court of law or a court of equity and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar
laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally), and are in full force
and effect. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have duly performed in all
material respects all of their material obligations thereunder to the extent
that such obligations to perform have accrued; and, to the Company's knowledge,
there are no breaches, violations or defaults or allegations or assertions of
such by any party thereunder which would have or would reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

     (dd) Rights Agreement. The Company has taken all action (including, if
    required, redeeming all of the outstanding Purchase Rights issued pursuant
    to the Rights Agreement or amending or

                                      A-17
<PAGE>

    terminating the Rights Agreement) necessary to ensure that (i) the
    execution and delivery of this Plan and the Option Agreement and the
    consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and
    will not result in the grant of any rights to any person under the Rights
    Agreement or enable or require the Purchase Rights to be exercised,
    distributed or triggered, and (ii) except as disclosed in Section 3.3(dd)
    of the Company's Disclosure Letter, the consummation of the Merger will
    result in the expiration of the Purchase Rights.

   SECTION 3.4. Representations and Warranties of the Acquiror. The Acauiror
represents and warrants to the Company that:

     (a) Recitals True. The facts set forth in the Recitals of this Plan with
    respect to the Acquiror and Merger Sub are true and correct in all
    material respects.

    good standing in its jurisdiction of organization and as a foreign
    corporation in each jurisdiction where the properties owned, leased or

    of the Acquiror and Merger Sub has the requisite corporate power and

    authorizations) to carry on its respective businesses as they are now being
    conducted and to own its respective properties and assets.

     (c) Corporate Authority.

        (i) The Acquiror has the requisite corporate power and authority to
       execute and deliver this Plan and, subject to the receipt of all

       may be, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The
       execution and delivery of this Plan and consummation of the transactions
       contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all
       necessary corporate action of the Acquiror. This Plan has been duly and
       validly executed and delivered by the Acquiror and (assuming due
       authorization, execution and delivery by the Company) this Plan
       constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Acquiror, enforceable
       against it in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement to
       bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium
       and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affection
       creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

        (ii) Merger Sub has the requisite corporate power and authority to
       execute and deliver this Plan and, subject to the receipt of all
       required regulatory approvals, consents or nonobjections, as the case

       execution and delivery of this Plan and consummation of the transactions
       contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all
       necessary corporation action of Merger Sub and of the Acquiror as sole
       stockholder of Merger Sub. This Plan has been duly and validly executed
       and delivered by Merger Sub and (assuming due authorization, execution
       and delivery by the Company) this Plan constitutes a valid and binding
       agreement of Merger Sub, enforceable against it in accordance with its
       terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
       transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
       applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
       equity principles.

     (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Plan by
    each of the Acquiror and Merger Sub do not, and the consummation of the
    transactions contemplated hereby by the Acquiror and Merger Sub will not,
    constitute (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, any law, rule
    or regulation or any judgment, decree, order, governmental permit or
    license, or agreement, indenture or instrument of the Acquiror or any
    Subsidiary of the Acquiror, or to which the Acquiror or any of its
    Subsidiaries (or any of their respective properties) is subject, or enable
    any person to enjoin the Merger, the Bank Merger or the other transactions
    contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) a breach or violation of, or a
    default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or similar
    organizational documents of the Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries or
    (iii) a material breach or violation of, or a material default under (or an
    event which with due notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a
    material default under), or result in the termination of, accelerate the
    performance required by, or result in the creation of any lien, pledge,
    security interest, charge or other

                                      A-18
<PAGE>

    encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Acquiror or any of
    its Subsidiaries under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any
    note, bond, indenture, deed of trust, loan agreement or the agreement,
    instrument or obligation to which the Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries
    is a party, or to which any of their respective properties or assets may be
    bound or affected.

     (e) Consents and Approvals. Except for (A) the filing of an application
    with the OTS and approval of such application, (B) the filing with the SEC
    of the Proxy Statement, (C) the filing of the Certificate of Merger, (D)

    with any Governmental Entity or with any third party are necessary in
    connection with the execution and delivery by the Acquiror and Merger Sub
    of this Plan and the consummation by the Acquiror and Merger Sub of the
    Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or the execution and
    delivery by Acquiror of the Option Agreement and the consummation by the
    Acquiror of the transactions contemplated thereby, and Acquiror knows of no
    reason why the Requisite Regulatory Approvals (as defined in Section
    5.1(b)) should not be obtained.

     (f) Access to Funds. The Acquiror has, or on the Closing Date will have,
    all funds necessary to consummate the Merger and pay the aggregate cash
    portion of the Merger Consideration.

     (g) Board Action. The Board of Directors of the Acquiror, by the requisite
    vote, has (i) determined that the Merger is advisable and in the best
    interests of the Acquiror and its stockholders and (ii) approved this Plan,
    the Merger and the Option Agreement and the transactions contemplated
    hereby and thereby.

                            ARTICLE IV.  COVENANTS

   SECTION 4.1. Acquisition Proposals. The Company agrees that neither it nor
any of its Subsidiaries shall authorize or permit any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents or representatives (including, without limitation,
any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its
Subsidiaries) to directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, encourage or
otherwise facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal offer
(including, without limitation, any proposal, tender offer or exchange offer to
stockholders of the Company) with respect to a merger, consolidation or similar
transaction involving, or any purchase of all or any significant portion of the
assets, deposits or any equity securities of, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (any such proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as an
"Acquisition Proposal") or, except to the extent legally required for the
discharge by the Company's board of directors of its fiduciary duties as
advised by such board's counsel with respect to an unsolicited offer from a
third party, engage in any negotiations concerning or provide any confidential
information or data to, or have any discussions with, any person relating to an
Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or
implement an Acquisiton Proposal. The Company will immediately cease and cause
to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any
parties (other than the Acquiror) conducted heretofore with respect to any of
the foregoing. The Company will take the necessary steps to inform promptly the
appropriate individuals or entities referred to in the first sentence hereof of
the obligations undertaken in this Section 4.1. The Company agrees that it will
notify the Acquiror immediately if any such inquiries, proposals or offers are
received by, any such information is requested from, or any such negotiations
or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, and the Company shall promptly thereafter provide the
details of any such communication to the Acquiror in writing. The Company also
agrees that it promptly shall request each other person (other than the
Acquiror) that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in
connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to return all confidential information heretofore furnished to
such person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and
enforce any such confidentiality agreements.

   SECTION 4.2. Certain Policies of the Company. At the request of the
Acquiror, after the date on which all required federal depository institution
regulatory approvals are received and prior to the Effective Time, the Company
shall (i) to the extent consistent with GAAP and regulatory accounting
principles and requirements, in each case as applied to financial institutions
and not objected to by the

                                      A-19
<PAGE>

Company's independent certified public accountants, modify its loan, litigation
and real estate valuation policies and practices (including modifying its loan
classifications and levels of reserves and establishing specific reserves on
loans and REO properties) and its other accounting methods or periods so as to
be consistent with those of the Acquiror, (ii) pay or accrue certain expenses,
(iii) dispose of certain assets, and (iv) take any other action as Acquiror may
reasonably request in order to facilitate and effect the transfer of
contractual and other rights to Acquiror and the integration of the businesses
and operations of the Company and Acquiror; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to take such action unless (A) the Acquiror agrees in
writing that all conditions to the Acquiror's obligation to consummate the
Merger set forth in Article V hereof (other than the expiration of the 30-day
statutory waiting period following approval of the Merger by the OTS) have been
satisfied or waived, (B) the Company shall have received a written, irrevocable
waiver by the Acquiror of its rights to terminate this Agreement, (C) all of
the conditions to the Company's obligation to consummate the Merger (other than
the statutory waiting period described above) shall have been satisfied, and
(D) Acquiror shall have delivered to the Company documentary evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company certifying that Acquiror has sufficient
cash to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration. The Company's representations,
warranties and covenants contained in this Plan shall not be deemed to be
untrue or breached in any respect for any purpose as a consequence of any
modifications or changes undertaken solely on account of this Section 4.2.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve the Company of its
obligation to deliver the documents referred to in Section 5.2 hereof on the
Effective Date.

   SECTION 4.3. Employees. Incorporated herein by this reference are the terms
of that certain letter of even date herewith from Acquiror to the Company (the
"Benefits Letter"), and in the event of any conflict between the provisions of
this Agreement and the terms of the Benefits Letter, the terms of the Benefits
Letter shall be controlling.

   SECTION 4.4. Access and Information. Upon reasonable notice and subject to
applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, the Company shall, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees,
accountants, counsel and other representatives of the Acquiror access, during
normal business hours during the time period from the date of this Agreement to
the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments,
records, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives
and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries
to, make available to the Acquiror (i) a copy of each report, schedule,
registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such
period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws or federal or
state banking laws (other than reports or documents which the Company is not
permitted to disclose under applicable law), and (ii) all other information
concerning its business, properties and personnel as the Acquiror may
reasonably request. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be
required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or
disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of the Company's customers,
jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any law, rule,
regulations, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement
entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto will make
appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the
restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. The Acquiror will hold all such
information in confidence in accordance with the provisions of the
confidentiality agreement, date July 1, 1996, between the Acquiror and the
Company (the "Confidentiality Agreement"). No investigation by Acquiror or its
representatives shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements of the Company set forth herein.

   SECTION 4.5. Regulatory Matters. (a) The parties hereto shall cooperate with
each other and use their reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and file all
necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and
filings, and to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents,
approvals and authorizations of all third parties and governmental authorities
which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Plan. The Company and the Acquiror shall have the right to review in
advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, in each
case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, all
the information relating to the Company or the Acquiror, as the case may be,
and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appear in any filing made with,
or written materials submitted to, any third party or any governmental

                                      A-20
<PAGE>

authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Plan. In
exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably
and as promptly as practicable. The parties hereto agree that they will consult
with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents,
approvals and authorizations of all third parties and governmental authorities
necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Plan
and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating
to completion of the transactions contemplated herein.

   (b) The Acquiror and the Company shall, upon request, furnish each other
with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors,
officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary
or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement or any other statement,
filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of the Acquiror, the Company
or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any governmental authority in
connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this
Plan.

   (c) The Acquiror and the Company shall promptly furnish each other with
copies of written communications received by the Acquiror or the Company, as
the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, affiliates or
associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act as
in effect on the date of this Plan) from, or delivered by any of the foregoing
to, any governmental authority in respect of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

   SECTION 4.6. Antitakeover Statutes. The Company shall take all steps
necessary to exempt this Plan and the Option Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby from the requirements of any state antitakeover
law including, without limitations, Section 203 of the State Corporation Law,
by action of its board of directors or otherwise.

   SECTION 4.7. Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance. (a) In the
event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
including, without limitation, any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation in which any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to
the date of this Plan, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director
or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the "Indemnified
Parties") is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part
on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that
he is or was a director, officer, or employee of the Company, any of the
Subsidiaries of the Company or any of their respective predecessors or (ii)
this Plan, the Option Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby, including, without limitation, any actions taken in accordance with
Sections 4.2 or 4.19, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after
the Effective Time (collectively, the "Matters"), the parties hereto agree to
cooperate and use their best efforts to defend against and respond thereto.
From and after the Effective Time, through the sixth anniversary of the
Effective Date, the Acquiror agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Indemnified Party, against any costs or expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim,
action, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the
fullest extent permitted by law upon receipt of any undertaking rerquired by
applicable law), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities and
amounts paid in settlement (collectively, "Costs") incurred in connection with
any threatened or actual claim, action, suite, proceeding or investigation,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of any of
the Matters, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective
Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Acquiror agrees
that it will also indemnify for a period of six years from the Effective Date
in accordance with and subject to the terms and provisions of this Section
4.7(a) and Section 4.7(b), the advisors of the Company solely for Claims
arising out of actions taken by them in accordance with Section 4.2 or 4.19 of
this Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all
rights to indemnification in respect of any claim (a "Claim") asserted or made
within such six year period shall continue until the final disposition of such
Claim.

   (b) An Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section
4.7(a), upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, shall promptly notify the Acquiror thereof, but the failure to
so notify shall not relieve the Acquiror of any liability it may have to such
Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure to notify materially
prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any

                                      A-21
<PAGE>

such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before
or after the Effective Time), the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to them after consultation with the Acquiror; provided,
however, that (i) the Acquiror shall have the right to assume the defense
thereof and upon such assumption the Acquiror shall not be liable to such
Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with
the defense thereof, except that if the Acquiror elects not to assume such
defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues
which raise conflicts of interest between the Acquiror and the Indemnified
parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and
the Acquiror shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the
Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction, (ii) the Indemnified Parties will
cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) the Acquiror shall not be
liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that the
Acquiror shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when
and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such
determination shall have become final and nonappealable, that the
indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is
prohibited by applicable law.

   (c) Prior to the Effective Time the Company shall purchase, and for a period
of six years after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to maintain, directors and officers liability insurance
"tail" or "runoff" coverage with respect to wrongful acts and/or omissions
committed or allegedly committed prior to the Effective Time. Such coverage
shall have an aggregate coverage limit over the term of such policy in an
amount no less than the annual aggregate coverage limit under the Company's
existing directors and officers liability policy, and in all other respects
shall be at least comparable to such existing policy.

   (d) In the event Acquiror or any of its successors or assigns (i)
consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger,
or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and
assets to any person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary,
proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the
Acquiror assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.7.

   (e) The provisions of this Section 4.7 are intended to be for the benefit
of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs
and representatives.

   SECTION 4.8. Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided,
each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable efforts to take
promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions and to do promptly, or
cause to be done promptly, all things necessary, proper or advisable under
applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the
transactions contemplated by this Plan as soon as practicable, including using
efforts to obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, extensions, waivers,
consents and approvals from all applicable governmental entities, effecting all
necessary registrations, applications and filings (including, without
limitation, filings under any applicable state securities laws) and obtaining
any required contractual consents and regulatory approvals.

   SECTION 4.9. Publicity. The initial press release announcing this Plan shall
be a joint press release, and thereafter, subject to the provisions of
applicable law and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Company and
the Acquiror shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases
or otherwise making any statements, public or otherwise, with respect to the
other or the transactions contemplated hereby and in making any filings with
any governmental entity or with any national securities exchange with respect
thereto.

   SECTION 4.10. Proxy Statement. Promptly, but in any event no later than 60
days following the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC
the Proxy Statement. Thereafter, the Company shall respond to the comments of
the staff of the SEC promptly following receipt thereof, and promptly
thereafter shall mail the Proxy Statement to all holders of record (as of the
applicable record date) of shares of Company Common Stock. The Company
represents and covenants that the Proxy Statement and any amendment or
supplement thereto, at the date of mailing to stockholders of the Company and
the date of the meeting of the Company's stockholders to be held in connection
with the Merger, will be in compliance with all relevant rules and regulations
of the SEC and will not contain any untrue statement

                                      A-22
<PAGE>

of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Acquiror and the
Company shall cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Proxy
Statement. If requested by the Acquiror, the Company shall employ professional
proxy solicitors to assist it in contacting stockholders in connection with the
vote on the Merger.

   SECTION 4.11. Stockholders' Meeting. The Company shall take all action
necessary, in accordance with applicable law and its articles of incorporation
and by-laws, to convene a meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock as
promptly as practicable for the purpose of considering and taking action
required by this Plan. Except to the extent legally required for the discharge
by the board of directors of its fiduciary duties as advised by such board's
counsel, the board of directors of the Company shall recommend that the holders
of the Company Common Stock vote in favor of and approve the Merger and adopt
this Plan.

   SECTION 4.12. Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt
notice to the Acquiror of: (a) any notice of, or other communication relating
to, a default or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become
a default, received by it or any of its Subsidiaries subsequent to the date of
this Plan and prior to the Effective Time, under any contract material to the
financial condition, properties, businesses or results of operations of the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to which the Company or any such
Subsidiary is a party or is subject; and (b) any material adverse change in the
financial condition, properties, business or results of operations of the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the occurrence of any event
which, so far as reasonably can be foreseen at the time of its occurrence, is
reasonably likely to result in any such change. Each of the Company and the
Acquiror shall, and the Acquiror shall cause Merger Sub, when duly
incorporated, to, give prompt notice to the other party of any notice or other
communication from any third party alleging that the consent of such third
party is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Plan. Acquiror shall give prompt notice to the Company of the occurrence
or non-occurrence of any event which would or (so far as reasonably can be
foreseen at the time of such occurrence or non-occurrence) is reasonably likely

attorneys in connection with any such sale or distribution, including for

any permitted successor to the Bank), as applicable, to (i) take all actions
necessary or desirable to pursue the Bank's claims in the Goodwill Litigation,
(ii) file with applicable regulatory agencies such periodic and other reports
as are necessary to furnish and update information to holders of the
Participation Interests or Secondary Participation Interests, (iii) refrain

"assignment" (as defined therein) of the claims to the Goodwill Litigation, and
(iv) refrain from taking any action to dismiss, settle, compromise or otherwise
cease prosecution of Goodwill Litigation on terms that do not result solely in
the payment of cash or other readily monetizable consideration by or on behalf
of the United States to the Bank.

of any payment from the United States in settlement of or in satisfaction of a

Registration Statement declared effective as soon as

                                      A-24
<PAGE>

possible. The Bank represents and covenants that the Registration Statement any
amendment or supplement thereto, at the date of filing thereof, will be in
compliance with all relevant rules and regulations of the OTS and will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. Acquiror shall cooperate with the Bank in the preparation of the
Registration Statement and shall have the right to review the Registration
Statement and to provide comments thereon prior to the Bank's filing of the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto with the OTS.

   SECTION 4.23. XCF Acceptance Corporation. Prior to the Effective Time, the
Company and the Bank shall, and shall cause XCF Acceptance Corporation ("XCF")

      (b) (i) The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in
    Sections 3.3(a), 3.3(b), 3.3(e), 3.3(g), 3.3(l), 3.3(u), 3.3(x), 3.3(z) and

    Company, materially or a Material Adverse Effect, and provided further,
    however, that, for purposes of this clause (ii), such representations and
    warranties shall be deemed to be true and correct in all material respects
    unless the failure or failures of such representations and warranties to be
    so true and correct, individually or in the aggregate, results or would
    reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the
    Company. The Acquiror shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of
    the Company by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer
    of the Company, dated the Effective Date, to the foregoing effect.

     (c) The Company shall have performed in all material respects all

    State of Delaware or federal securities or banking law, such counsel may
    rely upon the certificates of officers and directors of the Company and of
    public officials (as to matters of fact) and opinions of local counsel (as
    to matters of law), reasonably acceptable to the Acquiror, provided a copy

    satisfactory to the Company, dated the Effective Date, certifying that the
    Acquiror has sufficient funds to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration.

     (c) The Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the

    banking law, such counsel may rely upon the certificates of officers and
    directors of the Acquiror or Merger Sub and of public officials (as to
    matters of fact) and opinions of local counsel (as to matters of law),
    reasonably acceptable to the Company, provided a copy of each such reliance
    certificate and opinion shall be attached as an exhibit to the opinion of

                           ARTICLE VI. TERMINATION

   SECTION 6.1. Termination. This Plan may be terminated, and the Merger
abandoned, prior to the Effective Date, either before or after its approval
by the stockholders of the Company:

     (a) by the mutual consent of the Acquiror and the Company in writing, if
    the board of directors of each so determines by vote of a majority of the
    members of its entire board;

     (b) by the Acquiror or the Company by written notice to the other party if
    either (i) any request or application for a Requisite Regulatory Approval
    shall have been denied or (ii) any Governmental Entity of competent
    jurisdiction shall have issued a final, unappealable order enjoining or
    otherwise prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
    Plan;

     (c) by the Acquiror or the Company, if its board of directors so
    determines by vote of a majority of the members of its entire board, in the
    event that the Merger is not consummated by March 31, 1997 unless failure
    to so consummate by such time is due to the breach of any material
    representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Plan by the party
    seeking to terminate; provided, however, that in the event the Merger is
    not consummated by March 31, 1997, as a result of the failure to obtain
    Requisite Regulatory Approval for reasons entirely unrelated to the
    financing of the transaction, the capital structure of Acquiror or Merger
    Sub, the adequacy or Merger Sub's financial condition and/or the
    prospective effect or such financing, structure or condition on the Bank,
    the Acquiror may extend the termination date set forth herein to June 30,
    1997;

     (d) by the Acquiror or the Company (provided that the Company shall not be
    entitled to terminate this Plan pursuant to this paragraph (d) if it shall
    be in material breach of any of its obligations under Section 4.11) if any
    approval of the stockholders of the Company required for the consummation
    of the Merger shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to
    obtain the required vote at a duly held meeting of such stockholders or at
    any adjournment or postponement thereof;

     (e) by the Acquiiror or the Company (provided that the terminating party
    is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
    other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a material
    breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Plan
    on the part of the other party, which breach is not cured within thirty
    days following written notice to the party committing such breach, or which
    breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Effective Time, unless
    such breach is waived by the non-breaching party; provided, however, that
    neither party shall have the right to terminate this Plan pursuant to this
    Section 6.1(e) unless the breach of representation or warranty, together
    with all other such breaches, would entitle the party receiving such
    representation not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby
    pursuant to Section

                                      A-27
<PAGE>

    5.2(b) (in the case of a breach of representation or warranty by the
    Company) or Section 5.3(a) (in the case of a breach of representation or
    warranty by the Acquiror);

     (f) by the Acquiror or the Company (provided that the terminating party is
    not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
    other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a material
    breach of any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Plan on the
    part of the other party, which breach shall not have been cured or is
    incapable of being cured within thirty days following receipt by the
    breaching party of written notice of such breach from the other party
    hereto; or

     (g) by the Acquiror, if the Board of Directors of the Company does not
    publicly recommend in the Proxy Statement that the Company's stockholders
    approve and adopt this Plan or if, after recommending in the Proxy
    Statement that stockholders approve and adopt this Plan, the Board of
    Directors of the Company shall have withdrawn, modified or amended such
    recommendation in any respect adverse to the Acquiror.

   SECTION 6.2. Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this
Plan by either the Acquiror or the Company, as provided above, this Plan shall
thereafter become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party
hereto or their respective officers or directors, except that (i) the next to
the last sentence of Section 4.4 and Sections 6.2, 8.2 and 8.6 shall survive
any termination of this Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, no party shall be relieved or released
from any liabilities or damage arising out if its willful breach of any
provisions of this Plan.

                ARTICLE VII. EFFECTIVE DATE AND EFFECTIVE TIME

   SECTION 7.1. Effective Date and Effective Time. On such date as Acquiror
selects, which shall be within 30 days after the last to occur of the
expiration of all applicable waiting periods in connection with the Requisite

                            PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

   The following pro forma financial data gives effect to the Acquisitions, the
Branch Sales and the issuances of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Holdings
Preferred Stock, the Holdings 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and the 10 5/8%
Notes. The Branch Purchases and the Home Federal Acquisition have not been
reflected in the pro forma financial data because such transactions are not
material either individually or in the aggregate.

   The following pro forma financial data as of and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 are based on (i) the historical consolidated statement of
financial condition of Holdings giving effect to the Cal Fed Acquisition and
the issuances of the Series A Preferred Shares and the 10 5/8% Notes as if such
transactions occurred on September 30, 1996, and (ii) the historical
consolidated statement of operations of Holdings for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 giving effect to the Cal Fed Acquisition, the SFFed
Acquisition, the LMUSA 1996 Purchase, the Branch Sales and the issuances of the
Series A Preferred Shares, the Holdings Preferred Stock, the Holdings 9 1/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes and the 10 5/8% Notes as if such transactions
occurred on January 1, 1995. The following pro forma financial data for the
year ended December 31, 1995 is based on the historical consolidated statement
of operations of Holdings for the year ended December 31, 1995 giving effect to
the Acquisitions, the Branch Sales and the issuances of the Series A Preferred
Shares, the Holdings Preferred Stock, the Holdings 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated
Notes and the 10 5/8% Notes as if such transactions occurred on January 1,
1995. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and upon
certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the
circumstances. The Acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Under this method of accounting, the purchase price has been
allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on preliminary estimates
of fair value. The actual fair value is determined as of the consummation of
each of the Acquisitions. The pro forma financial data do not necessarily
reflect the results of operations or the financial position of Holdings that
actually would have resulted had the Acquisitions, the Branch Sales and the
issuances of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Holdings Preferred Stock, the
Holdings 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and the 10 5/8% Notes occurred at the
dates indicated, or project the results of operations or financial position of
Holdings for any future date or period.

   The following pro forma financial data should be read in conjunction with
the Consolidated Financial Statements of Holdings and the notes thereto, the
Consolidated Financial Statements of SFFed and the notes thereto and the
Consolidated Financial Statements of Cal Fed and California Federal and the
notes thereto. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings
set forth in the Glossary of Terms which begins on P-33 to this Exhibit 99.1.

                                                         =========
</TABLE>

   Severance costs were estimated based on (i) obligations assumed by Holdings
  under Cal Fed's compensation agreements with eleven of its executive
  officers; (ii) transaction bonuses paid to six California Federal executive
  officers; (iii) severance benefits paid or payable pursuant to a letter
  agreement between Cal Fed and Holdings for approximately 850 employees who
  are parties to separate employment agreements; and (iv) relocation benefits
  for employees who have been offered employment opportunities in northern
  California. The obligations of Holdings pursuant to items (i) and (ii) above
  approximate $15.5 million and $10 million, respectively. Non-contract
  employees are eligible to be paid three weeks of severance per year of
  service, with a minimum payment of eight weeks severance. In addition, 52
  employees have guaranteed minimum severance payments, which often exceed the
  three weeks per year of service. Holdings' termination plan has been
  developed, and employees to be terminated have been so notified. Termination
  dates generally fall within six months of the consummation of the Cal Fed
  Acquisition.

   Pension termination costs represent lump sum distributions which are
  required under Cal Fed's defined benefit programs upon termination of such
  plans. These amounts, totalling $4.2 million, have not been previously
  accrued. In addition, the purchase agreement includes $2.5 million to be
  allocated to an employee retention pool, established to provide additional
  incentive to critical employees to remain with Cal Fed until the Cal Fed
  Acquisition was consummated.

   The majority of conversion and contract costs of $33.3 million represents
  costs and penalties expected to be incurred by Holdings in connection with
  the cancellation of outstanding contracts. Such contracts consist primarily
  of data processing services and real property lease arrangements. This amount
  also includes the transfer cost of mortgage loan servicing, estimated at $40
  per loan, based on First Nationwide's historical experience.

   (c) Fair value adjustments are amortized against (accreted to) net income

(A) CAL FED ACQUISITION (CONTINUED)

   With respect to goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase price over
  the fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed (the
  "Excess"), Holdings does not currently anticipate that any of the Excess will
  be allocated to "identifiable intangible assets" (i.e., core deposit
  intangible) in connection with the Cal Fed Acquisition. Based on prior core
  deposit intangible studies, management estimates that the value of California
  deposits would approximate $135 million, at September 30, 1996. The average
  life of this intangible, based on historical experience, is approximately
  five years. On the other hand, goodwill related to financial institutions is,
  by industry standards, typically amortized over a 25 year period. Holdings
  has elected to amortize the Excess over 15 years. This treatment is
  predicated on the fact that 15 years is a reasonable approximation of the
  combined lives of a separately determinable core deposit intangible and the
  remaining Excess, and that non-segregation of these assets would not have a
  significant effect on Holdings' financial statements.

   (d) Includes (i) $45.7 million in fair value adjustments to reflect
       obligations assumed under master lease arrangements on Cal Fed's two
       corporate facilities at market rental rates, net of sub-lease income;
       (ii) fair value adjustments to reflect lease obligations on branch
       facilities at market rates; and (iii) fair value adjustments related to
       certain data processing hardware and software.

   (e) Represents the estimated after-tax recovery that will inure to Holdings
       from the California Federal Litigation, net of amounts payable to
       holders of the Litigation Interests and the Secondary Litigation
       Interests. The estimated fair value of such litigation asset was
       determined based on the following methodology:

       (i) No adjustment for expenses included due to immateriality to total
           proceeds.

       (ii) Subjective discount of approximately 15% was applied in
            consideration of the variability of the market prices of the CALGZ
            interests over time (which may be attributed in part to the
            market's assumptions concerning, among other things, the time frame
            for the final settlement of the California Federal Litigation, the
            related discount for the time value of money, and past and future
            expenses incurred in pursuing the California Federal Litigation).
            After discount, estimated gross proceeds represent a CALGZ price of
            $9.67 per share.

       Once the allocation of purchase price has been made, Holdings will
       incur periodic charges against earnings for any market value declines
       in the carrying value of this asset. Market value will be determined
       based upon the market value of the CALGZ and Secondary Litigation
       Interests, and will also consider a decline in value related to
       factors of which management is aware which may not be reflected in the
       market values of these securities. Any increases in market value above
       the original cost basis established through purchase accounting will
       be deferred until the final realization of the settlement.

</TABLE>

(3)    Represents the reduction in interest income relative to the loss in
       yield on the purchase price of the Cal Fed Acquisition funded with
       existing cash. The loss was estimated using an interest rate of 5.75%,
       which approximates the average interest rate on short term investments
       for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

(4)    Represents adjustments to other noninterest expense relating to the
       consolidation of Cal Fed's operations into those of Holdings. A
       substantial portion of Cal Fed's operations will be consolidated into
       the existing operations of Holdings, resulting in a reduction in
       headcount of 850, or approximately 36%, across all business areas. In
       addition, seven retail branches and two administrative offices will be
       closed. Expected savings from such consolidation include compensation,
       occupancy, travel, telecommunications, data processing and marketing
       expenses. The expense reduction for the nine months ended September 30,
       1996 represents a 36% reduction over historical levels based on
       management's current transition plan for the second year following the
       consummation of the Cal Fed Acquisition:

(E) PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(1)    Represents the decrease in interest expense relative to the paydown of
       securities sold under agreements to repurchase with proceeds from the
       issuance of Series A Preferred Shares. The reduction in interest expense
       was established using an interest rate of 5.458%, the weighted average
       rate of these obligations during the nine months ended September 30,
       1996 using a one month LIBOR rate less five basis points.

(2)    Represents interest expense as follows:

(5)    Represents preferred stock dividends on the $200,000 Series A Preferred
       Shares, net of tax benefit, at an assumed rate of 9 1/4% per annum. The
       tax benefit is due to the deductibility of the dividend for income tax
       purposes as a result of California Federal Preferred Capital
       Corporation's qualification as a real estate investment trust. Each 25
       basis point change in the interest rate on the Series A Preferred
       Shares would change interest expense, net of tax benefit, by $338. If
       the underwriter's 15% over-allotment option is exercised in full,
       dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares for that period would
       increase by $1,873.

(6)    Represents dividends on Holdings Preferred Stock (estimated at 12% per
       annum), including the compounding effect of dividends paid-in-kind.

(7)    Includes the following:
       (a) gains of approximately $334.0 million (on an after-tax basis)
           realized in connection with the Branch Sales consummated during the
           nine months ended September 30, 1996;
       (b) gain of approximately $10.8 million (on an after-tax basis)
           representing California Federal's gain on branch sales consummated
           during the nine months ended September 30, 1996;
       (c) deferred tax benefit of the Bank of $125 million;
       (d) after-tax gain on sale of Affiliated Computer Systems (ACS) common
           stock of $36.4 million;
       (e) expense of $106.4 million (on an after-tax basis) relating to the
           Special SAIF Assessment;
       (f) after-tax income of $23.0 million realized in connection with the
           termination of the Assistance Agreement; and
       (g) expense of $30.2 million (on an after-tax basis) relating to
       management incentive plan.

(3)    Represents the reduction in interest income relative to the loss in
       yield on the purchase price of the Cal Fed Acquisition funded with
       existing cash. The loss was estimated using an interest rate of 5.75%,
       which approximates the average interest rate on short term investments
       during 1995.

(4)    Represents adjustments to other noninterest expense relating to the
       consolidation of Cal Fed's operations into those of Holdings. A
       substantial portion of Cal Fed's operations will be consolidated into
       the existing operations of Holdings, resulting in a reduction in
       headcount of 850, or approximately 35%, across all business areas. In
       addition, seven retail branches and two administrative offices will be
       closed. Expected savings from such consolidation include compensation,
       occupancy, travel, telecommunications, data processing and marketing
       expenses. The expense reduction for the year ended December 31, 1995
       represents a 32% reduction over historical levels based on management's
       current transition plan:

(5)    Represents preferred stock dividends on the $200,000 Series A Preferred
       Shares, net of tax benefits, at an assumed rate of 9 1/4% per annum.
       The tax benefit is due to the deductibility of the dividend for income
       tax purposes as a result of California Federal Preferred Capital
       Corporation's qualification as a real estate investment trust. Each 25
       basis point change in the interest rate on the Series A Preferred
       Shares would change interest expense, net of tax benefits, by $450. If
       the underwriters' 15% over-allotment option is exercised in full,
       dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares, net of tax benefits, for
       the period would increase by $2,498.

(6)    Represents dividends on Holdings Preferred Stock (estimated at 12% per
       annum), including the compounding effect of dividends paid-in-kind.

                    FIRST NATIONWIDE BANK COMPLETES MERGER
                         WITH CALIFORNIA FEDERAL BANK

      COMBINED BANK KEEPS CAL FED NAME, FIRST NATIONWIDE'S HEADQUARTERS

   SAN FRANCISCO, January 3, 1997 -- First Nationwide Holdings Inc., parent
company of First Nationwide Bank, today completed its purchase of Cal Fed
Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiary, California Federal Bank. The merged bank is
called California Federal Bank, A Federal Savings Bank, also known as Cal Fed.
(First Nationwide Holdings' name will not change, nor will that of the bank's
mortgage subsidiary, First Nationwide Mortgage Corporation.)

   The combined institution has approximately $30 billion in assets, making it
the fourth largest thrift in the nation.

   While the merger is effective today, First Nationwide Bank branches won't
adopt the Cal Fed name until the weekend of March 21, when all accounts from
both institutions will be converted to one system. Effective March 24,
customers of both the "old" California Federal Bank and the "old" First
Nationwide Bank will be able to conduct business at any of the "new" Cal Fed
locations. Prior to the conversion, customers of both institutions may make
automated teller machine (ATM) withdrawals at any First Nationwide or Cal Fed
branch without paying a "foreign" ATM fee.

   Included in the Cal Fed acquisition are 119 retail branches with
approximately $9 billion in deposits. Effective March 24, three of the acquired
Cal Fed branches (in Palo Alto, Thousand Oaks and Culver City, California) will
be consolidated into nearby First Nationwide branches (renamed Cal Fed), and
four First Nationwide Bank branches (in San Rafael, Oxnard, Ventura and
Glendale, California) will be consolidated into nearby Cal Fed branches.

   Terms of the merger call for holders of Cal Fed Bancorp's common stock to
receive $23.50 in cash for each of their shares, for a total cash consideration
of approximately $1.2 billion, plus a new security representing the right to
participate in a portion of the net cash proceeds, if any, recovered in
California Federal Bank's pending breach of contract lawsuit against the
federal government. Shareholders will receive one Secondary Contingent
Litigation Recovery Participation Interest for each ten common shares of Cal
Fed Bancorp held at the time of the closing. This new security is expected to
be quoted and traded on the national market of NASDAQ (CALGL).

   Within the next few days, Chase Mellon Shareholder Services, the transfer
agent for the common shares, will send shareholders a letter describing how to
exchange their shares for the merger consideration. Questions concerning this
process should be directed to Chase Mellon Shareholder Services at (800)
806-8035. (For others who want additional information on the security, a copy
of the offering circular for the security is on file with the Office of Thrift
Supervision.)

   At September 30, 1996, First Nationwide Bank's assets totaled $16.8 billion
and California Federal Bank's totaled $14.1 billion. After the branch
consolidations in March, the combined bank will have 229 retail branches: 101
in Southern California, 94 in Northern California, 24 in Florida, seven in
Nevada and three in Texas.

   Based in San Francisco, the "new" California Federal Bank is a privately
held institution and an indirect subsidiary of MacAndrews and Forbes Holding
Inc. The bank and its subsidiaries employ approximately 5,500 people.

The Board of Directors
Cal Fed Bancorp Inc.:

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial

statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cal Fed
Bancorp Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

   As discussed in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

   Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation to serve as
the holding company for California Federal Bank, F.S.B. ("California Federal")
During the 1995 fourth quarter, California Federal received both regulatory and
shareholder approval to reorganize into a holding company structure. Prior to
the effective date of the reorganization, Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. was a
wholly-owned subsidiary of California Federal. On December 22, 1995, as part of
the reorganization into a holding company structure, California Federal
contributed $22 million in capital to Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. On January 1, 1996,
the reorganization was effected whereby each share of California Federal,
common stock was converted into one share of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. common stock.
As a result of the reorganization, California Federal, became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. The other equity securities remain
outstanding securities of California Federal. However, while the 7 3/4%
noncumulative convertible preferred stock, Series A of California Federal
remains an outstanding security of California Federal, the Series A preferred
stock will be convertible into shares of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. common stock if
converted. The Bank may call the Series A preferred stock at anytime on or
after March 31, 1996 at its par value of $25.00.

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cal Fed
Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the Bank"). The Bank maintains 125 full
service branches in California and Nevada and is one of the largest savings
associations in the United States. The Bank offers a broad range of consumer
financial services including demand and term deposits and mortgage and consumer
loans. Subsidiaries of the Bank sell insurance and investment products to the
Bank's customers, and have previously engaged in the real estate investment and
development and trust business. The Bank's deposit gathering and loan
production operations are concentrated in California, particularly in Southern
California.

   It is the Bank's policy to consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 and 1993
data in order to conform to the current presentation. The preparation of the
Bank's financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported
operations of the Bank for the periods presented. Actual results may differ
from those estimates calculated by the Bank.

   In December 1995, California Federal contributed approximately $22 million
in capital to Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. as part of the reorganization into a holding
company structure. Although the contribution did not impact California
Federal's consolidated regulatory capital at December 31, 1995, California
Federal's regulatory capital will be reduced by the amount of the contribution
in 1996.

 SHORT-TERM LIQUID INVESTMENTS

   The Bank's short-term liquid investments consist of federal funds sold and
certificates of deposit. These investments generally mature within 60 days. The
Bank invests in these assets as a means to maximize its return on short-term
funds that it holds for liquidity purposes.

 SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENTS TO RESELL

   The Bank invests in securities purchased under agreements to resell
("repurchase agreements") to maximize the yield on its liquid assets. The Bank
obtains collateral for these agreements, which normally consists of U.S.
treasury securities or mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") guaranteed by
agencies of the U.S. government. The collateral is held in the custody of a
trustee, who is not a party to the transaction.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The duration of
these agreements is typically less than 30 days. The Bank deals only with
nationally recognized investment banking firms as the counterparties to these
agreements. The Bank's investment in repurchase agreements solely consisted of
securities purchased under agreements to resell identical securities.

 INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES

   The Bank's investment in securities principally consists of U.S. treasury
securities and mortgage-backed securities. The Bank has created MBS when it
exchanges pools of loans for mortgage-backed securities ("securitized loans").
The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS 115") at December
31, 1993. In accordance with SFAS 115, the Bank classifies its investment in
securities as held to maturity securities, trading securities and available for
sale securities as applicable. The Bank did not hold any trading securities at
December 31, 1995 or 1994.

 Available for Sale Securities

   The Bank has classified certain securities as "available for sale". The Bank
classifies securities as available for sale based upon a determination that
such securities may be sold at a future date or if there are foreseeable
circumstances under which the Bank would sell such securities.

   Securities designated as available for sale are recorded at market value.
Changes in the market value of debt securities held for sale are included in
shareholders' equity as unrealized holding gains or losses net of the related
tax effect, if any. Unrealized losses, on available for sale securities
reflecting a decline in value judged to be other than temporary, are charged to
income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized gains or losses on
available for sale securities are computed on a specific identification basis.

 Securities Held to Maturity

   The Bank has classified certain securities as "held to maturity". Securities
are designated as held to maturity if the Bank has the positive intent and the
ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are
carried at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization of any related
premiums or the accretion of any related discounts into interest income using a
methodology which approximates a level yield of interest over the estimated
remaining period until maturity. Unrealized losses on held to maturity
securities, reflecting a decline in value, judged by the Bank to be other than
temporary, are charged to income and reported under the caption "Gain (loss) on
Sale of Securities" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 LOANS RECEIVABLE

   The Bank's principal interest earning asset is loans receivable. The Bank
primarily originates loans secured by residential property of 4 units or less
("residential 1-4 loans"). Prior to 1993, the Bank was active in the
origination of loans secured by residential properties of 5 or more units
("multifamily loans") and loans secured by office buildings, shopping centers,
industrial buildings, warehouses, marinas and hotels ("commercial real estate
loans.") The Bank currently limits its originations of multifamily and
commercial real estate loans to finance the sale of real estate. Prior to 1993,
the Bank was active in the origination of loans secured by vehicles, mobile
homes, boats and unsecured personal loans ("consumer loans"). Since 1993, the
Bank has ceased originating consumer loans for its own portfolio. However, the
Bank does originate consumer loans for other financial institutions for a fee.
The Bank segregates its loan portfolio into loans held for sale and loans held
for investment. The Bank normally designates a loan as held for sale at the
time of origination. The Bank's portfolio of residential 1-4 loans, multifamily
loans and

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by property located in
California. The Bank continues to focus its origination efforts in California,
particularly in Southern California. The Bank's ability to originate loans is
affected by economic conditions, competition and the market for real estate in
California. Likewise, the ability of the Bank's borrowers to honor their
contractual loan obligations to the Bank are also affected by the strength of
the California economy and particularly the availability of employment and the
pricing for residential housing. Should the California economy, the market for
real estate, and/or the availability of employment experience a significant
downturn over the near term, the Bank may experience a reduction in the level
of loan originations and/or an increase in loan losses.

 Loans Receivable Held for Sale

   The Bank has designated certain of its loans receivable as "held for sale".
In determining the level of loans held for sale, the Bank considers whether
such loans would be sold in response to liquidity needs, asset/liability
management requirements, regulatory capital needs and other factors. The Bank's
current policy is to designate substantially all originations of fixed-rate
residential 1-4 loans that conform to the underwriting criteria of Fannie Mae
("FNMA"), formerly known as the Federal National Mortgage Association or
Freddie Mac ("FHLMC"), formerly known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, as held for sale.

   Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market value.
Unrealized losses are recorded as reduction in earnings and are included under
the caption "Gain (loss) on sale of loans" in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Realized gains and losses from the sale of loans receivable are
computed under the specific identification method.

 Gains and Losses from the Sale of Loans

   The Bank sells whole loans and participations in mortgage loans to
institutional and private investors. Gains and losses resulting from the sales
of loans are determined on the specific identification method and reflect the
extent that the sales proceeds exceed or are less than the Bank's investment in
the loans (which includes adjusting the unpaid principal balance of the loans
for unearned discounts, premiums and deferred fees and costs at the time of
sale). In some cases, the Bank sells loans and continues to service such loans
for the investor. In these cases, the Bank recognizes a gain or loss on the
loan sale measured by the present value of the difference between the yield on
the loans and the yield to be paid to the buyer, reduced by the normal
servicing fees, over the estimated remaining lives of those loans using market
prepayment, default and discount rate assumptions. If loans are sold with
recourse, the estimated liability under the recourse provisions is provided for
in the computation of the gain or loss. The resulting deferred discount or
premium ("excess servicing") is amortized as an addition to or deduction from
income using the interest method, adjusted for actual prepayments. The Bank
periodically reviews the remaining premium to ensure that it does not exceed
the present value of the estimated excess servicing fees, using current
estimates of market prepayments and default. In the event that actual
prepayments exceed the assumptions used in determining the gain or loss, the
deferred premium is adjusted to reflect current prepayment projections by a
charge to operations. To the extent sales of loans involve the sale of part of
a loan or a pool of loans with disproportionate credit and prepayment risks,
the cost basis is allocated based upon the relative fair market value of the
portion sold and the portion retained on the date such loans were acquired or,
if that is not determinable, the date of sale. The amount of excess servicing
recorded by the Bank was $3.9 million at both December 31, 1995 and 1994. Such
amounts were included in "Prepaid expenses and other assets" on the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

 Loan Servicing

   The Bank services its loan portfolio and real estate and consumer loans
which are owned by independent investors. Loans serviced by the Bank for others
are primarily the result of the Bank selling

                                      F-8

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

loans while retaining the servicing of such loans. Loans which are serviced for
other parties are not included with loans receivable or any other asset in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Fees earned for servicing loans
for others are reported as income when the related loan payments are collected.
Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred.

 Loans Receivable Held for Investment

   The Bank's loan portfolio is comprised of residential 1-4 loans, loans
secured by income producing real estate ("income property loans") and consumer
loans. Since 1993, the Bank has not actively engaged in originating income
property loans, except to finance the sale of the Bank's real estate.

   Loans receivable are generally recorded at the contractual amounts owed by
borrowers, less deferrals, unearned interest, the allowance for loan losses,
undisbursed funds and purchase premiums and discounts. Interest on loans is
credited to income as earned, to the extent deemed collectible. Discounts on
loans purchased and unearned interest on consumer loans is accreted into
interest income using the interest method over the contractual lives of the
loans, adjusted for actual prepayments.

 Loan Origination Fees and Costs

   Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred
and recognized over the lives of the related loans as an adjustment of loan
yield using the interest method. When a loan is paid off or sold, any
unamortized net deferred fee balance is credited to income. Commitment fees
received in connection with the purchase of loans are deferred and recognized
over the life of the resulting loans as an adjustment of yield, or if the
commitment expires unexercised, credited to income upon expiration of the
commitment. Any costs in connection with the purchase of loans are expensed as
incurred.

 Impaired and Non-Performing Loans

   In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan ("SFAS 114"). Under SFAS 114, a loan is impaired when
it is "probable" that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due
(i.e., both principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the
loan agreement. SFAS 114 excludes among other items, large groups of
smaller-balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for
impairment. The Bank adopted SFAS 114 as of January 1, 1995. The Bank has
defined residential 1-4 loans, consumer loans, multifamily loans with an
outstanding balance of less than $750,000 and commercial real estate loans with
an outstanding balance of less than $500,000 as homogenous loans. All
homogenous loans that are 90 days or more delinquent or are in foreclosure are
automatically placed on non-performing status. Additionally, homogenous loans
that have had a modification of terms are individually reviewed to determine if
they meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. The measurement of
impairment may be based on (i) the present value of the expected future cash
flows of the impaired loan discounted at the loan's original effective interest
rate; (ii) the observable market price of the impaired loan, or (iii) the fair
value of the collateral of a collateral-dependent loan. The amount by which the
recorded investment of the loan exceeds the measure of the impaired loan is
recognized by recording a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to
the provision for losses. For all loans secured by real estate, the Bank
measures impairment and establishes specific valuation allowances by utilizing
the fair value of the property collateralizing the loan. Additionally, SFAS 114
eliminates the requirement that a creditor account for certain loans as
foreclosed assets until the creditor has taken possession of the collateral.
SFAS 114 became effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1994 and is required to be adopted prospectively.

   All loans designated by the Bank as "impaired" are either placed on
non-accrual status or are designated as restructured and are included with
those loans reported as non-performing. The Bank did

                                      F-9
<PAGE>
                    CAL FED BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

not experience a material impact upon its financial condition or operations
from the implementation of SFAS 114. The Bank's non-performing loans consist of
loans on which the Bank has ceased the accrual of interest ("non-accrual
loans") and loans on which various concessions have been made with respect to
the interest rate or other terms due to the inability of the borrower to
service the obligation under the original terms of the agreement ("restructured
loans"). It is the Bank's policy to place a loan on non-accrual status in the
event that the borrower is 90 days or more delinquent or earlier if the timely
collection of interest and/or principal appears doubtful. When a loan is
determined to be impaired and/or placed on non-accrual status, the accrued and
unpaid interest receivable is reversed. All cash subsequently collected on
non-accrual loans are used to reduce the recorded investment in the loan until
the loan is returned to performing status. The Bank's policy allows for loans
that are contractually performing to be designated as impaired and to be placed
on non-accrual status, if the future collection of interest and or principal
appears doubtful or the risk of default is probable.

 Allowance for Loan Losses

   The Bank has established valuation allowances for estimated losses on
specific loans ("specific valuation allowances") and for the inherent risk in
the loan portfolio which has yet to be specifically identified ("general
valuation allowances").

   The Bank maintains a loan monitoring system which provides a means for the
timely identification of impaired and potential problem loans and to permit the
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowances for losses. The Bank's loan
monitoring system has established specific policies relating to its residential
1-4, income property, commercial banking and consumer loan portfolios.
Additionally, the Bank is required by various regulatory agencies to monitor
and classify its assets as Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and
Loss. The Bank's monitoring system further disaggregates loans that are
determined to be Pass into four separate grades. Additionally, the Bank places
loans on a watchlist if they exhibit certain credit characteristics. These
characteristics include dollar size, tenant concentration and the timing of
maturity.

   The Bank's residential 1-4 loans and consumer loans are relatively
homogenous and no single residential 1-4 or consumer loan possesses the
potential for significant risk of loss. Therefore, the Bank normally evaluates
the risk of loss on these loans by analyzing their loss experience,
performance, default rates and other indicators of risk for the portfolios as a
whole. The Bank stratifies its income property loan portfolio by size and by
type and treats performing multi-family loans with outstanding principal
balances less than $750,000 and commercial real estate loans with balances less
than $500,000 as homogenous portfolios. Income property loans that are below
the homogenous threshold are evaluated for impairment based upon their payment
status and on a pool basis. For income property loans exceeding the homogenous
threshold, the Bank conducts a periodic review of each loan in order to test
each loan for impairment. The frequency and type of review is dependent upon
the inherent risk attributed to each loan. The level of risk is measured by a
scale which evaluates each loan on a continuum of multiple grades. The
frequency and intensity of the loan review is directly proportionate to the
adversity of the loan grade. The Bank evaluates the risk of default and the
risk of loss for each loan subject to individual monitoring. During 1995, the
Bank expanded the scope of its individual loan monitoring to include commercial
real estate loans with an outstanding principal balance in excess of $500,000.
Previously, the Bank had utilized a threshold of $750,000 for all income
property loans. The Bank expanded the scope of its non-homogenous loans to
ensure that a majority of its commercial real estate loans were subject to
individual review. Non-performing income property loans and performing loans
that have been graded substandard, special mention, or watchlist are typically
reviewed on a quarterly basis. Current appraisals are generally obtained
annually as long as the loan continues to possess certain risk characteristics.
These loans are monitored throughout the year by a review of the collateral's
operating performance and the borrowers

indicated or demonstrated ability to continue to meet their obligations. When
necessary, the Bank utilizes operating statements of the collateral to perform
its own discounted cash flow analyses. These analyses provide the basis for
specific valuation allowances. Numerous other factors are considered in the
evaluation, including a review of certain individual borrowers' current
financial status, credit standing, available collateral, the Bank's judgment
regarding prevailing and anticipated economic conditions and other relevant
factors.

   Specific valuation allowances are provided when an identified decline in the
value of an impaired loan (or the related collateral) is identified. The
determination of specific valuation allowances includes a periodic evaluation
of the financial status of certain individual borrowers or collateral relating
to loans specifically identified as containing elements of potential risk in
the loan portfolio. For loans that are impaired and secured by real estate or
other collateral, the Bank provides specific allowances based upon the excess
of the outstanding loan amount over the fair value of the related collateral
with consideration of holding and selling costs.

   General valuation allowances are based upon the inherent risk in the loan
portfolio that has not been specifically identified. The general valuation
allowance is based upon a number of factors, including historical loss
experience, the level of non-performing and internally classified loans, the
composition of the loan portfolio, estimated remaining lives of the various
types of loans within the portfolio, prevailing and forecasted economic
conditions and the Bank's judgment. General allowances are provided for all
loans, regardless of any specific allowances provided. The determination of the
Bank's allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are affected by
changes in the regional or national economy and market conditions. The Bank
believes that as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the allowance for loan losses
is adequate based on current economic and market conditions. However, in the
course of evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Bank
has assumed that the California economy and the market for real estate will
remain in the same relative condition that it was in at December 31, 1995.
Should these factors experience a downturn in the near term or if market
interest rates increase significantly in the near term, the Bank could
experience a material increase in the level of loan defaults and charge-offs.

 REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE

   Real estate held for sale consists of real estate acquired in settlement of
loans ("REO") and real estate investments ("REI"). REO generally results when
property collateralizing a loan is foreclosed upon or otherwise acquired by the
Bank in satisfaction of the loan. REO is recorded at the lower of the recorded
investment in the loan satisfied, the fair value or the disposition value of
the related assets acquired less anticipated disposition costs. The fair value
of the assets is based upon a current appraisal adjusted for estimated carrying
and selling costs. The disposition value is based upon the current market
pricing of the asset. Net cash receipts on REO are recorded as a reduction in
the basis of the asset. Net cash payments are expensed as incurred. The Bank's
REI consist of properties that the Bank, through its subsidiaries, acquired for
purposes of development. The Bank has not been actively involved in real estate
investment or development for several years. The Bank's REI consist of
properties where the Bank is actively seeking to dispose of the property in an
expeditious manner. The Bank records its REI at the lower of cost or fair value
of the properties. The Bank determines fair value by utilizing recent sales
activity and deducting for holding and disposition costs over the estimated
remaining period to sell the projects. The Bank has assumed an orderly
disposition in estimating the holding period to sale. Should the Bank be unable
to sell the project at the projected prices, or if the holding period is
substantially longer than forecast, or if the Bank's intent with respect to an
orderly disposition were to change, the fair value ultimately realized by the
Bank could be materially lower than the Bank's current forecast.

  PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT, DEPRECIATION AND CAPITALIZATION OF INTEREST

   Maintenance and repairs on premises and equipment are charged to expense in
the year incurred. Depreciation and amortization of premises and equipment are
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Interest incurred on amounts used to finance the construction of such
assets is capitalized and amortized over the depreciable lives of the related
assets.

 GOODWILL

   Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of
tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired, was amortized on a
straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, ranging from 20
to 40 years. During 1994, the Bank applied Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 72 Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift
Institutions ("SFAS 72") to acquisitions initiated, by the Bank, prior to
September 30, 1982. SFAS 72 requires, among other things, that to the extent,
the fair value of liabilities assumed exceeds the fair value of identifiable
assets acquired from a banking or thrift institution, the unidentifiable
intangible asset recognized (i.e., goodwill) generally shall be amortized over
a period no longer than the discount on the acquired long-term interest earning
assets. SFAS 72 was effective for acquisitions initiated after September 30,
1982 with retroactive application permitted. The Bank had been accounting for
its acquisitions initiated subsequent to September 30, 1982 in accordance with
SFAS 72. The cumulative effect of the retroactive application of SFAS 72
resulted in the acceleration of the Bank's goodwill amortization arising from
the Bank's thrift institution acquisitions initiated prior to September 30,
1982. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the cumulative effect
from the retroactive application of SFAS 72 must be reflected as of the first
day of the fiscal year in which it is implemented. To that extent, $273.7
million of remaining unamortized goodwill was eliminated effective January 1,
1994.

 INCOME TAXES

   The Bank files a consolidated federal income tax return and a combined
California franchise tax report with its subsidiaries.

   The Bank has adopted financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS
109") and has applied the provisions of SFAS 109 retroactively to January 1,
1982. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred income tax
expense (benefit) is derived by establishing deferred tax assets and
liabilities as of the reporting date for the estimated future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the
year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. The Bank's evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax
assets includes consideration of the amount and timing of future reversals of
existing temporary differences, as well as available taxable income in
carryback years. The Bank has not considered income from future operations in
evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets. See Note 20 Income
Taxes.

 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

   The par value of the Bank's common stock was $1.00 per share at December 31,
1995 and at December 31, 1994. The number of shares issued and outstanding were
49,200,444 and 49,199,044 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
authorized number of common shares were 100,000,000 at December 31, 1995 and

   During the 1995 fourth quarter, California Federal obtained regulatory and
shareholder approval to reorganize into a holding company structure. As a
result of the reorganization, on January 1, 1996, each share of California
Federal common stock was converted into one share of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc.
common stock. Consequently, California Federal became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. The other equity securities remain outstanding
securities of California Federal. However, the 7 3/4% noncumulative convertible
preferred stock, Series A of California Federal is convertible into shares of
Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. common stock if converted.

   The par value of the 7 3/4% noncumulative convertible preferred stock,
Series A of California Federal was $25.00 per share at both December 31, 1995
and December 31, 1994, respectively. The designated and outstanding number of
shares at December 31, 1995 were 3,800,000 and 3,740,000, respectively.
Preferred stock, Series A, dividends are not cumulative and are payable
quarterly when declared by the Board of Directors of California Federal
Quarterly dividend payments commenced May 15, 1993. The preferred stock, Series
A, is convertible by the holder into common stock at anytime, unless previously
redeemed by California Federal, at a conversion price of $20.16 per share of
common stock, subject to adjustment. The preferred stock, Series A, is not
redeemable prior to March 31, 1996. The preferred stock, Series A, is
redeemable solely at the option of California Federal at any time on or after
March 31, 1996, in whole or in part, at par value plus declared but unpaid
dividends.

   During 1994, California Federal issued 1,725,000 shares of 10 5/8%
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series B ("Preferred Stock, Series
B"). Cash dividends on the Preferred Stock, Series B, are not cumulative and
are payable quarterly when declared by the Board of Directors of California
Federal. The Preferred Stock, Series B, has a liquidation preference and par
value of $100.00 per share. The par value of the Preferred Stock, Series B was
$100.00 per share at December 31, 1995 and 1994. Both the designated and
outstanding number of shares at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were 1,725,000. The
Preferred Stock, Series B, is generally not redeemable prior to April 1, 1999.
The Preferred Stock, Series B, is redeemable at the option of California
Federal, in whole or in part, at $105.313 per share on or after April 1, 1999
and prior to April 1, 2000, and at prices decreasing annually thereafter to the
liquidation preference of $100.00 per share on or after April 1, 2003, plus
declared but unpaid dividends. In addition, the Preferred Stock, Series B, is
redeemable at the option of California Federal or its successor or any
acquiring or resulting entity with respect to California Federal on or after
April 1, 1996 and prior to April 1, 1999 in whole, but not in part, in the
event of a change of control of California Federal at $114.50 per share.

   On February 28, 1993, California Federal completed a one-for-five reverse
stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of all classes of California Federal
common stock. The Reverse Stock Split has been reflected in the consolidated
financial statements of the Bank for and at all periods presented. Therefore,
the par value, the number of shares issued, the number of shares authorized,
the number of shares outstanding and the average number of shares at and for
all periods are presented as if the reverse stock split had occurred at the
first day of each fiscal year for all periods presented.

 NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

   Net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings
(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect, if any, of common
stock equivalents. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
weighted average number of shares used to calculate primary earnings (loss) per
share were 49,855,150; 43,556,167 and 24,971,836, respectively. For the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 the weighted average number of shares
used to calculate fully diluted earnings (loss) per share were 50,020,218;
43,556,167 and 24,971,836, respectively.

  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments" ("SFAS 107").

   Financial instruments are defined under SFAS 107 as cash, evidence of an
ownership in an entity, or a contract that conveys or imposes on an entity the
contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash or another
financial instrument.

   A significant portion of the Bank's assets and liabilities are financial
instruments as defined under SFAS 107. The Bank is also a party to financial
instruments that are not reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition ("off balance sheet financial instruments"). Such off-balance sheet
financial instruments include: commitments to originate loans, standby letters
of credit, recourse arrangements and interest rate exchange agreements.

 Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

 Credit Risk

   Credit risk of a financial instrument is the possibility that a loss may
result from the failure of another party to perform in accordance with the
terms of the contract. The most significant credit risk associated with the
Bank's financial instruments is concentrated in its loans receivable.
Additionally, the Bank is subject to credit risk on certain off-balance sheet
financial instruments. The Bank utilizes a loan monitoring system to evaluate
the level of credit risk on its loan portfolio and utilizes a similar process
for loans sold by the Bank with recourse and standby letters of credit. The
Bank's credit risk with respect to interest rate exchange agreements is limited
to the premium paid on interest rate cap and floor arrangements, and the amount
of interest due from the counterparty.

 Market Risk

   Market risk of a financial instrument is the possibility that future changes
in market prices may reduce the value of a financial instrument or increase the
contractual obligations of the Bank. The Bank's market risk is concentrated in
its portfolios of securities held for sale and loans receivable. The Bank's
securities held for sale are traded in active markets. The values of these
securities are susceptable to fluctuations in the general market. When a
borrower fails to meet the contractual requirements of his loan agreement, the
Bank is subject to the market risk of the collateral securing the loan.

 Interest Rate Risk

   Financial instruments are subject to interest rate risk to the extent that
they reprice on a frequency, degree or basis that varies from market repricing.
The Bank is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest
earning assets reprice on a different frequency or schedule than its interest
bearing liabilities. A majority of the Bank's loans receivable and mortgage
backed securities reprice based upon the eleventh district cost of funds index
("COFI"). The repricing of COFI tends to lag market interest rates. The Bank
closely monitors the pricing sensitivity of its financial instruments and, if
deemed cost effective, utilizes hedging and other asset/liability techniques to
mitigate the impact of interest rate risk.

 Concentrations of Credit Risk

   The Bank's lending activities are principally conducted in California and
the Bank currently focuses on the origination of residential 1-4 loans. The
largest concentration of the Bank's loan portfolio is located

in the Los Angeles County area of California. The ability of the Bank's
borrowers to repay their commitments is contingent on several factors,
including the economic conditions in the borrower's geographic region,
primarily Southern California, market interest rates, and upon the individual
financial condition of the borrower.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   SFAS 107 requires the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments,
whether or not recognized on the statement of financial condition, for which it
is practicable to estimate the value. SFAS 107 requires that the Bank disclose
estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair values, estimates and
assumptions are set forth in Note 21 Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

  Derivative Financial Instruments

   The Bank's derivative financial instruments are primarily limited to
interest rate exchange contracts and such contracts are predominantly utilized
for hedging activities for existing assets and liabilities.

   The Bank uses several types of interest rate exchange contracts as an
integral part of its asset/liability management program including: (i) interest
rate swaps, (ii) interest rate caps and (iii) interest rate floors. Interest
rate exchange agreements have been utilized primarily to reduce interest rate
risk on certain interest bearing liabilities and interest earning assets.
Interest rate swap agreements are instruments in which the Bank and another
party agree to exchange interest payments on a notional amount. When using
interest rate cap agreements, the Bank pays another party a premium in exchange
for cash payments on a notional amount in the event that a specified index
exceeds a specified rate. When utilizing interest rate floors, the Bank pays a
premium in exchange for cash payments on a notional amount in the event that a
specified index is less than a specified rate. These premiums are amortized
over the duration of the agreement. The notional amounts of interest rate
exchange agreements are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of
Financial Condition, but are disclosed in the notes to these Consolidated
Financial Statements. The Bank records interest income and expense on the
accrual method for its interest rate exchange agreements. Changes in the value
of interest rate exchange agreements that are designated as held for a purpose
other than trading are not reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements
unless the Bank determined that it was probable that the counterparty would
default. Interest rate exchange agreements that are designated as held for
trading purposes are evaluated at fair value, and in the event that such
evaluation indicates a net liability to the Bank, such liablility is reflected
on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition with corresponding charge
reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. To the extent that the
Bank is in a gain position, the Bank records net cash flow as income upon
receipt and typically does not record unrealized gains as income.

NEWLY ENACTED AND PROPOSED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   In October 1994, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income
Recognition and Disclosures" ("SFAS 118"). SFAS 118 amends SFAS 114 to allow a
creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired
loan. Additionally, SFAS 118 requires, among other things, additional
disclosure, either in the body of the Financial Statements or in the
accompanying notes, about the recorded investment in certain impaired loans and
about how a creditor recognizes interest income related to those impaired
loans. SFAS 118 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1994. The disclosures required by SFAS 118 are
reflected in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

   In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121").

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

SFAS 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived
assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets
to be held and used for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
to be disposed of. SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that a
long-lived asset is determined to be impaired, an impairment loss shall be
recognized. SFAS 121 prescribes that impairment losses for long-lived assets
shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its fair value. Additionally, SFAS 121 provides that long-lived assets,
to be disposed by sale or abandonment, shall be reported at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less cost of disposition. This statement is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995, earlier application is permitted. The Bank has not yet implemented
SFAS 121 and does not believe that it will have a material adverse effect on
its financial position or results of operations.

   In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS 122"), an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 65 "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities"
("SFAS 65"). SFAS 122 amends SFAS 65 to remove the distinction in accounting
for mortgage servicing rights resulting from originated loans and those
resulting from purchased loans. Additionally, SFAS 122 requires that a mortgage
banking enterprise assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for
impairment based on the fair value of those rights SFAS 122 is to be applied
prospectively to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, earlier
application is permitted. The Bank has not yet implemented SFAS 122 and does
not believe that it will have a material adverse effect on its financial
position or results of operations.

   In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123
establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based
employee compensation plans. Those plans include all arrangements by which
employees receive shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer
or the employer incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price
of the employer's stock. Examples are stock purchase plans, stock options,
restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights. This Statement also applies to
transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods
or services from nonemployees. Those transactions must be accounted for, or at
least disclosed in the case of stock options, based on the fair value of the
consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable. The accounting requirements of SFAS 123
are effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after
December 15, 1995. The disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 are effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, or for
an earlier fiscal year for which SFAS 123 is initially adopted for recognizing
compensation cost. The Bank has not yet implemented SFAS 123 and does not
believe that it will have a material adverse effect on its financial position
or results of operation.

   In November 1995, the FASB issued a Special Report as an aid in
understanding and implementing Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115. "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS
115"). The Special Report included such guidance that enabled the Bank to
reassess the appropriateness of the classifications of all securities held and
account for any resulting reclassifications at fair value in accordance with
SFAS 115. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Bank, in accordance with the
Special Report, redesignated $17.2 million of MBS from "held to maturity" to
"available for sale". Prior to December 31, 1995, the Bank sold the MBS for a
loss of less than $0.1 million.

 PROPOSED LEGISLATION

   The Bank's deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF") to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured depositor. The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") administers

a separate Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") applicable to commercial banks and
certain other non-SAIF insured institutions. Legislation is currently under
consideration by Congress which includes a one-time assessment for SAIF members
such as the Bank. Should legislation be enacted in its currently contemplated
form, the Bank's one-time assessment would be approximately $80 million, based
upon the Bank's insured deposits at March 31, 1995 and an assumed assessment
rate of 85 basis points. Additionally, once the SAIF has been recapitalized
through the one-time assessment, the Bank's deposit insurance premium
assessments would be reduced from the current rate. The currently proposed
legislation has evolved significantly over recent months and may continue to
change until final legislation is enacted, if ever. Moreover, there can be no
assurance that a premium reduction will occur.

   Assuming the proposed one-time special assessment became law in 1996 and was
immediately charged against results of operations, the one-time assessment
would, most likely, have a material adverse effect on the Bank's 1996 results
of operations. However, the Bank believes that it has sufficient regulatory
capital to continue to be classified as "well-capitalized" following such an
assessment. In addition, the Bank would not face any liquidity issues as a
result of such a one-time assessment.

   In addition, this proposed legislation would also significantly change the
federal income tax law affecting the bad debt reserves of savings institutions.
Although these proposed tax law changes are generally intended to provide
favorable tax results to savings institutions, there are unique situations,
such as in the case of the Bank, where the results may be unfavorable in
comparison to current tax law. The proposed legislation is currently under
review and may change significantly before final legislation is enacted, if
ever.

   At December 31, 1995, the Bank had $1,064.5 million of securitized loans
with some form of recourse to the Bank. In the unanticipated event the
securitized loans are sold, purchasers would have varying forms of recourse to
the Bank. The recourse provisions subject the Bank to varying degrees of
liability in the event of loss. The Bank currently intends to hold its
portfolio of mortgage-backed securities until maturity. The following table
presents the composition of securitized loans with potential recourse, by
collateral type, at December 31, 1995:

    The Bank periodically reviews the credit quality of its portfolio of MBS.
In the case of securitized loans with recourse provisions, the Bank makes an
assessment of the credit quality of the underlying loans. See Note 1 Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies for a discussion of the Bank's loan monitoring
policies.

   In November 1995, the FASB issued a Special Report as an aid to
understanding and implementing SFAS 115. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the
Bank, in accordance with the Special Report, redesignated $17.2 million of MBS
from "held to maturity" to "available for sale" and, prior to December 31,
1995, sold the MBS for a loss of less than $0.1 million. There were no sales of
MBS during the year ended December 31, 1994.

NOTE 7: LOANS RECEIVABLE HELD FOR SALE

   In order to manage its asset size, liquidity requirements, the composition
and interest rate sensitivity of its interest earning assets and other factors;
the Bank originates certain fixed rate residential 1-4 loans for sale.

   At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the historical cost bases of loans receivable
held for sale were $13.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. At December
31, 1995 and 1994, the market value of loans receivable held for sale were
$13.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Market values, at December 31,
1995 and 1994, were based upon quotes of similar or identical loans.

   Gross unrealized gains on loans receivable held for sale were $0.2 million
and zero at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Gross unrealized losses
on loans receivable held for sale were zero at both December 31, 1995 and 1994.
Proceeds from sales of loans receivable held for sale were $183.2 million,
$1,099.4 million and $940.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.

   (A) Includes construction loans of $1.4 million at both December 31, 1995
       and 1994.

   Certain of the Bank's adjustable loan programs allow the borrower to make
monthly payments which are lower than the amount required to amortize the loan
until its maturity in any particular month. In the event that the monthly
payment is not sufficient to pay the interest accruing during the month, the
deficiency is added to the loan's principal balance ("negative amortization").
In the event that a loan incurs significant negative amortization, there is an
increased risk that the market value of the underlying collateral on the loan
may be insufficient to fully satisfy the outstanding principal and interest,
should the borrower default.

   At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Bank's loan portfolio included $4.7
billion and $4.6 billion, respectively, of loans with the potential to
negatively amortize, of which $1.4 billion and $1.0 billion of loans had some
amount of negative amortization.

   The majority of the Bank's California real estate loans are secured by
property located in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties.

   At December 31, 1995, the largest amount of loans to a single borrower
totaled $39.8 million. The collateral for the loan is a 224,840 square foot
office building occupied entirely by certain of the Bank's operating and
administrative departments and subject to a lease for the life of the loan.

    Impaired and Non-Performing Loans

   The Bank identifies impaired loans through its loss monitoring process. See
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further information about
the Bank's loan monitoring process. The Bank stratifies its review procedures
by loans that are reviewed on an individual basis, and those that are treated
as homogeneous pools. Loans that are considered to be homogeneous are evaluated
on the basis of their payment record and/or on a pool basis. All homogenous
loans that are 90 days or more delinquent or are in foreclosure are
automatically placed on non-performing status. Additionally, homogeneous loans
that have had a modification of terms are individually reviewed to determine if
they meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring.

   Loans that are individually monitored are determined to be impaired if it is
determined that it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the
contractual amount of principal and interest owed to the Bank. The Bank's
policy allows for a loan to be designated as impaired even if the borrower has
currently fulfilled his repayment obligations. Loans that are delinquent 90
days or more, in foreclosure or if the borrower has filed for bankruptcy are
normally designated as impaired. If a loan is designated as impaired, the loan
is either placed on non-accrual status or designated as a restructured loan and
is included as a non-performing loan. Cash collected on impaired loans on
non-accrual status is generally applied as a reduction to the carrying value of
the loan.

   The Bank has identified two types of non-performing loans within its
portfolio: non-accrual loans and restructured loans. The following table
summarizes the Bank's gross non-performing loans by property type at the dates
indicated:

NOTE8: LOANS RECEIVABLE HELD FOR INVESTMENT (Continued) The Bank has
    designated all impaired loans at December 31, 1995 as
non-accrual or as a troubled debt restructuring. For all impaired loans, the
Bank evaluates the need for a specific allowance by comparing the fair value of
the related collateral to the net recorded investment in the loan. For all
impaired loans where the fair value of the related collateral is less than the
net recorded investment in the loan, the Bank allocates a specific allowance
equal to the excess of the net recorded investment in the loan over the fair
value of the related collateral with consideration given to holding and selling
costs. All uncollected interest relating to impaired loans has been fully
reversed from income. At December 31, 1995, the Bank had designated $81.3
million of loans as impaired that were performing in accordance with their
contractual terms. The Bank applies cash collections from impaired loans as a
reduction of the loan's carrying amount. The average recorded investment in the
impaired loans was $89.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. During
the year ended December 31, 1995, the Bank did not recognize interest income on
impaired loans.

   Allowance for Loan Losses

   The Bank's policies for providing the appropriate level of allowance for
loan losses are discussed further in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies.

   During the normal course of business, the Bank has securitized and/or sold
certain loans with recourse. Estimated probable loan losses and related costs
of collection and repossession are provided for at the time of such sales and
are periodically reevaluated. The Bank evaluates the credit risk of loans sold
with recourse in the same manner as it reviews its own portfolio of loans. The
Bank has accrued an allowance for potential future losses on loans sold with
recourse. Such allowance is included with "Other liabilities" on the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

   The Bank has obtained credit insurance for $390.3 million of residential
loans sold with recourse not included in the amounts above. The amount of the
Bank's liability on these loans was limited to $2.8 million at December 31,
1995. The insurance was obtained to limit the Bank's risk of loss on these
loans. The fair value of the Bank's potential obligation for recourse or
guarantees on loans sold with recourse at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was
determined to approximate the value of the liability established by the Bank
for the potential cost of such obligations, which totaled $11.5 million and
$11.4 million at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.

   At December 31, 1995, $3.8 billion of loans owned by others were serviced by
the Bank (virtually all of which were originated by the Bank) compared to $4.5
billion and $5.3 billion at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

   Loan servicing fees, which are included as a component of "Fee income" on
the Consolidated Statements of Operations, totaled $12.4 million, $14.6 million
and $18.5 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

   During 1993, the Bank sold $5.9 million of loan servicing, and recorded
gains on the sales of $0.2 million. Such gains have been included with "Other
income" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 1995 and 1994, the
Bank had no sales of loan servicing.

   During the second quarter of 1995, the Bank provided an allowance with
respect to certain litigation involving loans made in 1989 and 1990 to
California Communities, Inc. ("CCI"), a currently inactive subsidiary of the
Bank formerly engaged in real estate development activities. During the second
quarter of 1995, an Orange County California Superior Court jury rendered a
verdict in which it determined that the Bank was financially liable for two
loans made to CCI by the plaintiff on which CCI had defaulted. The jury awarded
the plaintiff $6.5 million in compensatory damages and punitive damages of
$20.0 million against the Bank and $5.0 million against CCI. The Bank has began
the process of appealing the judgment. While the Bank believes that its
liability from this litigation, if any, will be less than the amount awarded by
the jury, there can be no assurance that the ultimate outcome of this
litigation will result in an amount less than the amount determined by the jury
and it is possible that the Bank and its subsidiary could ultimately be found
liable for an amount in excess of the allowance that the Bank has established.
The provision for this allowance has been included in 1995 real estate
operations.

   The following table presents the activity in the allowance for losses on
real estate held for sale:

NOTE 9: REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE  (Continued)
    Amounts charged off against the allowance for losses are shown net of
recoveries. During 1995, the Bank reduced its allowance for losses on real
estate held for sale. The reduction resulted from a decrease in the Bank's
portfolio of real estate held for sale and a decrease in the level of
charge-offs during 1995. The 1994 bulk sales transactions reduced the level of
delinquent loans which has resulted in lower levels of foreclosures and losses.
The Bank did not experience a material level of recoveries during 1994 or 1993.

NOTE 10: FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK

   The Bank's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB")
stock at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $135.7 million and $134.1 million,
respectively. The FHLB provides a central credit facility for member
institutions. As a member of the FHLB system, the Bank is required to own
capital stock in the FHLB in an amount at least equal to the greater of 1% of
the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid home loans, home purchase
contracts and similar obligations at the end of each calendar year, assuming
for such purposes that at least 30% of its assets were home mortgage loans, or
5% of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB. The Bank was in compliance with
this requirement at December 31, 1995. The fair value of the Bank's FHLB stock
approximates book value due to the Bank's ability to redeem such stock with the
FHLB at par value.

NOTE 12: ACCELERATED DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

   During 1994, the Bank completed the accelerated disposition of $1.3 billion
of performing and non-performing assets (the "1994 Bulk Sales"). The assets
included in the 1994 Bulk Sales included loans receivable and REO. The loans
receivable were transferred from the portfolio of loans held for investment to
"held for accelerated disposition" as an integral part of the Bank's 1994
program to raise capital, reduce non-performing assets and improve operating
efficiency. The 1994 Bulk Sales were designed to reduce the Bank's
non-performing assets and reduce the Bank's exposure to certain performing
loans with higher risk profiles than the Bank wished to retain in its
portfolio. In selecting performing loans for the 1994 Bulk Sales, the Bank
considered the credit risk inherent in the loan, the concentration that certain
loans possessed because of the geographic location of the collateral, the size
of the loan and/or the overall relationship with certain borrowers. A
substantial amount of the performing loans sold as part of the 1994 Bulk Sales
were classified as substandard or designated as special mention. The Bank
recorded a $274.8 million loss from the 1994 Bulk Sales. The Bank recorded
$60.4 million of charge-offs, relating to previously established specific
allowances, on loans receivable included in the 1994 Bulk Sales.

   The table below presents the composition of the assets sold in the 1994 Bulk
Sales:

   During 1993, the Bank completed the sale of a pool of $232.1 million of
non-performing assets and collected $52.4 million of payoffs on non-performing
assets (the "1993 Bulk Sale"). Those transactions resulted in a $228.7 million
reduction in non-accrual loans and a $55.8 million reduction in REO. The 1993
Bulk Sale resulted in $80.0 million of charge-offs. The charge-offs related to
the 1993 Bulk Sale were primarily related to previously established specific
valuation allowance.

NOTE 13: DEPOSITS

   The Bank obtains deposits primarily through a network of full service
branches located in California and Nevada. Deposits obtained by the Bank are
insured by the SAIF of the FDIC up to a maximum of $100,000 for each depositor.

   FHLB advances totaling $2,671.0 million at December 31, 1995 and $2,526.0
million at December 31, 1994, principally adjustable rate, fixed term, with
interest rates ranging from 5.77% to 9.71% are secured by MBS and certain
mortgage loans aggregating $3.6 billion and $3.7 billion at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively. The rates of the FHLB advances primarily reprice based
upon the LIBOR index and therefore are sensitive to its volatility. Accrued
interest payable on FHLB advances was $16.6 million and $9.5 million at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The accrued interest on FHLB advances

NOTE14: ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK (Continued) At December 31, 1995,
    the Bank had credit availability with the FHLB
which allows borrowings up to 30% of the Bank's assets, subject to the balance
of pledged collateral, with terms up to ten years in the form of FHLB Advances
and Letters of Credit.

   During 1995, $1.6 billion of the Bank's FHLB advances, utilized as a funding
source for the sale of the Southeast Division, matured. Those borrowings bore
an interest rate based upon the 1 month LIBOR plus 0.27%. When those borrowings
matured, the FHLB offered to renew them. In order to reduce the cost of those
borrowings, the Bank entered into an interest rate swap agreement which reduces
the cost of the advances to approximately the one month LIBOR plus 0.20%. The
interest rate swap agreement was established, such that the index which
determines the interest that the Bank receives is identical to the index that
the Bank pays relative to the FHLB Advances. The notional amount of the swaps
totaled $1.5 billion at December 31, 1995 and the maturity of the swaps is
identical to that of the FHLB advances. The counterparty to the interest rate
swaps is an internationally recognized broker-dealer.

NOTE 19: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The Bank's use of derivative financial instruments is limited to interest
rate exchange agreements. The Bank utilizes interest rate exchange agreements
as an integral part of its asset/liability management program.

   The primary focus of the Banks' asset/liability management program is to
measure and monitor the sensitivity of net interest income under varying
interest rate scenarios. On a quarterly basis, the Bank simulates the level of
net interest income expected to be earned over a twelve month period following
the date of the simulation. The simulation is based on a projection of market
interest rates at varying levels and estimates the impact of such market rates
on the levels of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities
during the measurement period. Also, any periodic or lifetime caps that
contractually limit the repricing of any interest earning asset is considered.

   Based upon the outcome of the simulation analysis, the Bank may consider the
use of interest rate exchange agreements as a means of reducing the volatility
of projected net interest income within certain ranges of projected changes in
interest rates. The Bank evaluates the effectiveness of entering into any
interest rate exchange agreements by measuring the cost of such agreements in
relation to the reduction in net interest income volatility within an assumed
range of interest rates.

   The estimated fair value of swaps designated as hedges at December 31, 1995
and 1994 were gains (losses) of $7.1 million and $(6.6) million, respectively.

   At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Bank had an index amortizing interest
rate swap which was designated as held for trading with a notional balance of
$50.0 million, with interest payable at a variable rate determined by a
specified index (3 month LIBOR) in exchange for interest receivable at a fixed
rate. At December 31, 1995, this agreement had a weighted average rate to be
paid by the Bank of 5.94% and the weighted average rate to be received was
4.82%. At December 31, 1994, this agreement had a weighted average rate to be
paid by the Bank of 5.63% and the weighted average rate to be received was
4.82%. The agreement has an expiration date of April 1999. It is partially
collateralized by MBS and a letter of credit amounting to approximately $5.4
million at December 31, 1995. The fair value of the index amortizing swap at
December 31, 1995 was a liability of $0.3 million. Such liability has been
reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The average
fair value of the index amortizing swap during 1995 was a liability of $1.0
million. The fair value of the index amortizing swap at December 31, 1994 was a
liability of $2.2 million. Such liability has been reflected on the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

NOTE 19: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS  (Continued)
    At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Bank was also a party to an interest
rate floor contract maturing September 1998. In addition, the Bank was a party
to an interest rate floor contract that matured in June 1995. The Bank paid the
counterparties premiums in exchange for cash payments in the event that a
specified index (e.g., 5-year CMT, 1-year CMT) falls below the strike price. At
December 31, 1995, the notional amount of the remaining interest rate floor was
$100.0 million, the strike price was 3.38% and the monthly floating rate was
5.29%. At December 31, 1994, the notional amount of the interest rate floors
was $150.0 million, the weighted average strike price was 4.51% and the monthly
floating rate for the interest rate floor was based on the 1-year Treasury
Constant Maturity Rate for the floor contract maturing September 1998 and the
5-year Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for the floor contract that matured in
June 1995. The unamortized premium on the interest rate floors was zero and
$0.3 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1995,
the floating rate exceeded the strike price by 1.91%. At December 31, 1994, the
floating rate exceeded the strike price by an average of 2.79%.

   The Bank adheres to credit guidelines when entering into interest rate
exchange agreements in order to minimize its exposure to credit loss in the
event of non-performance by the counterparties to the agreements. In the event
that a counterparty to an interest rate swap does not perform in accordance
with the terms of the agreement, the Bank would be at risk for the amount of
the net interest receivable due from the counterparty. At December 31, 1995,
the Bank was at risk for $11.9 million of net interest receivable from its
counterparties on its aggregate interest rate exchange portfolio.

   The change in the valuation allowance from December 31, 1994 relates to the
decrease in the net deductible temporary difference in 1995 that cannot be
realized through carryback to prior periods. The valuation allowance of $146.3
million at December 31, 1995 includes $11.0 million related to a $31.5 million
acquired federal net operating loss expiring in 2002 and 2003 and $19.9 million
attributable to the Bank's tax losses occurring in 1993, 1994 and 1995. In the
event the $31.5 million net operating loss is utilized, 65% of the tax benefits
may at some time be payable to the FDIC pursuant to the acquisition agreement.

   Although the Bank has reported net earnings since the quarter ended June
1994, significant regulatory and tax law changes have been proposed that could
adversely affect future earnings for both financial reporting and income tax
purposes. See Proposed Legislation in Note 1 -- Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies for further information. In addition, even though the Bank
has reported net earnings for financial reporting purposes during this period,
it has continued to generate losses for income tax purposes, thus raising
uncertainty regarding the realizability of its net operating loss carryforward
and other deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Bank has recorded a valuation
allowance equal to its net deductible temporary difference at December 31, 1995
as well as at December 31, 1994.

NOTE 20: INCOME TAXES  (Continued)
    The Bank generated net operating losses in 1993, 1994 and 1995 for federal
income tax purposes of $5.7 million, $21.3 million and $16.5 million expiring
in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Bank has adjusted net
operating loss carryforwards from 1993, 1994 and 1995 for California franchise
tax purposes of $16.7 million, $23.9 million and $0.8 million expiring in 1998,
1999 and 2000, respectively. The Bank also has alternative minimum tax credit
carryforwards of $19.6 million for federal income tax purposes and $8.2 million
for California franchise tax purposes which have no expiration date.

   For federal income tax purposes, savings institutions that meet certain
definitional and other tests may compute a bad debt deduction based on either
the percentage of taxable income method or the experience method. For years
subsequent to 1986, the Bank has computed its deduction for qualifying real
property loans based on the experience method. The experience method allows a
deduction for an amount necessary to increase a savings institution's tax bad
debt reserve, adjusted for net charge-offs during the current year, up to the
greater of the adjusted base year reserve amount or an amount based on the
savings institution's actual 6 year moving average experience. For years
subsequent to 1987, the adjusted base year reserve amount at the end of any
year is the tax bad debt reserve amount at the end of 1987 proportionately
decreased by any reduction in the aggregate related loan base at the end of the
current year relative to the end of 1987.

   The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1995 and 1994 do not
include a potential federal income tax liability of $25.3 million and zero,
respectively, attributable to the Bank's tax bad debt reserves. Circumstances
that may require an accrual of this unrecorded tax liability are: a failure to
meet the tax definition of a savings institution and, if the currently proposed
tax law changes are enacted, dividend payments in excess of tax earnings and
profits and other distributions in dissolution, liquidation or redemption of
stock.

   The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the California Franchise Tax Board
("FTB") have completed examinations of the Bank's consolidated federal income
tax returns through 1988 and combined California franchise tax reports through
1985, respectively, and have proposed certain adjustments primarily related to
timing differences as to the recognition of taxable income and expense. The
Bank previously filed formal protests with both the IRS and the FTB to take
exception to these

proposed adjustments and has filed claims for refund to recover its payment of
the assessed federal deficiencies. The Bank currently intends to pursue most of
the positions set forth in its federal and California protests as well as in
its federal refund claims.

   In addition, the IRS has completed its examination of the consolidated
federal income tax returns filed by the Bank's former life insurance company
affiliate, Beneficial Standard Life Insurance Company ("BSLIC"), through 1989
and in December 1993, assessed certain deficiencies against BSLIC. In March
1994, the Bank filed a Tax Court petition on behalf of BSLIC, and in November
1995, the Tax Court rendered its decision affirming the Bank's position on most
of the issues contested by the Bank on behalf of BSLIC.

   The Bank's current income tax receivables at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were
$7.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively.

NOTE 21: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The following summary presents a description of the methodologies and
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Bank's financial
instruments. Much of the information used to determine fair value is highly
subjective. When applicable, readily available market information has been
utilized. However, for a significant portion of the Bank's financial
instruments, active markets do not exist. Therefore, considerable judgments
were required in estimating fair value for certain items. The subjective
factors include, among other things, the estimated timing and amount of cash
flows, risk characteristics, credit quality and interest rates, all of which
are subject to change. Since the fair value is estimated as of December 31,
1995 and December 31, 1994, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid
at settlement or maturity of the instruments could be significantly different.

   Cash and Short-Term Investments

   The book value of cash and short-term investments approximates the fair
value of such assets because of the short maturity of such investments.

   Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell

   The book value of securities purchased under agreements to resell
approximates the fair value of such securities due to the short term maturity
of such investments.

   Securities Available for Sale and Securities Held to Maturity

   The Bank has utilized market quotes for similar or identical securities in
an actively traded market, where such a market exists, or has obtained quotes
from independent security brokers or dealers to determine the fair value of its
securities available for sale and securities held to maturity.

   Loans Receivable

   The fair value of loans receivable was computed as follows: (i) for loans
held for sale, quotes were obtained from independent brokers or dealers; (ii)
for performing residential loans held for investment, the Bank aggregated the
loans into pools based upon secondary market requirements for mortgage-backed
securities and utilized market quotes for similar securities; (iii) for
performing consumer, commercial banking and income property, the fair value was
determined by a discounted cash flow analysis and (iv) the fair value of
impaired income property loans was determined on an individual basis, based
upon the fair value of the related collateral, reduced by an estimate of the
cost and timing of dispositions. For impaired residential 1-4 and consumer
loans, fair value was estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis,
adjusted for the Bank's estimate of excess credit risk.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 21: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS  (Continued)
    Deposits

   The fair value of deposits was determined as follows: (i) for demand
deposits, passbook accounts, money market accounts and other deposits
immediately withdrawable, fair value was determined to approximate the amount
payable on demand and (ii) for fixed maturity deposits, the fair value was
estimated by discounting expected cash flows using an average of rates offered
by other institutions combined with the Bank's current offering rates of term
deposits with similar maturities. In accordance with SFAS 107, no value has
been assigned to the Bank's long-term relationships with its deposit customers
(core deposit intangible) since it is not a financial instrument as defined
under SFAS 107.

   Borrowings

   The fair value of the Bank's borrowings was determined as follows: (i) the
fair value of FHLB advances was based upon current rates for advances with
similar terms and maturities; (ii) the fair value of student loan marketing
advances was estimated to approximate the amounts due as the rates on these
borrowings fluctuate with a market index; (iii) the fair value of reverse
repurchase agreements was based upon the current pricing for such agreements
and (iv) the fair value of the Bank's various other borrowings was based upon
alternative borrowing costs.

   Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

   The fair value of the Bank's off-balance sheet financial instruments was
determined as follows: (i) the fair value of interest rate exchange agreements
that do not have an active market was determined by computing the net present
value of the estimated interest due to the Bank as compared to the estimated
interest due to the counterparties of the interest rate exchange agreements;
(ii) the fair value of the Bank's recourse arrangements on assets sold was
determined to approximate the value of the liability currently recorded for
such recourse arrangements; and (iii) the Bank's standby letters of credit and
commitments to originate or sell loans have terms that are consistent with
current market terms. Therefore, the Bank estimates that the face amount of
these commitments approximates book value.

NOTE 22: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   The Bank is a party to various outstanding commitments and contingent
liabilities in the normal course of business which are not reflected in the

   The Bank makes contractual commitments to extend credit, which are legally
binding agreements to lend money to customers at predetermined interest rates
for a specified period of time. The Bank does not anticipate any material loss
as a result of these transactions. The Bank applies the same credit standards
used in the lending process when extending these commitments, and periodically
reassesses the customers' creditworthiness through ongoing credit reviews.

   The fair value of the Bank's commitments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was
based upon (i) the contractual terms of the commitment as compared to market
terms, (ii) the period of time that the commitments could be exercised and
(iii) the inherent credit risk of the commitments. The fair value of the Bank's
commitments approximates the amount of the outstanding commitment at December
31, 1995 and 1994.

   During the second quarter of 1995, the Bank provided an allowance with
respect to certain litigation involving loans made in 1989 and 1990 to
California Communities Inc. ("CCI"), a currently inactive subsidiary of the
Bank formerly engaged in real estate development activities. During the second
quarter of 1995, an Orange County, California Superior Court jury rendered a
verdict in which it determined that the Bank was financially liable for two
loans made to CCI by the plaintiff. CCI subsequently defaulted on the loans.
The jury awarded the plaintiff $6.5 million in compensatory damages and
punitive damages of $20.0 million against the Bank and $5.0 million against
CCI. The Bank has begun the process of appealing the judgment. While the Bank
believes that its liability from this litigation, if any, will be less than the
amount awarded by the jury, there can be no assurance that the ultimate outcome
of this litigation will result in an amount less than the amount determined by
the jury and it is possible that the Bank and its subsidiary could ultimately
be found liable for an amount in excess of the allowance that has been
established. The provision for this allowance has been included in 1995 real
estate operations.

   The Bank is involved as a defendant in certain legal proceedings incidental
to its business. The Bank has established an accrual for its estimate of the
potential liability that it believes it may be found liable for. However, it is
possible that the Bank's actual liability may be substantially higher or lower
than the amount of the established allowance. The Bank does not believe that
the litigation to which it is a party, if adversely decided, in the aggregate
would have a material adverse effect upon the Bank's financial condition.
However, adverse decisions in such matters could have a material adverse effect
upon the Bank's results of operations for the relevant period or periods in
which they occur.

   During the 1995 fourth quarter, California Federal obtained regulatory and
shareholder approval to reorganize into a holding company structure, which will
provide greater flexibility for meeting future financial and competitive needs.
As a result of the reorganization, on January 1, 1996, each share of the
California Federal's common stock was converted into one share of Cal Fed
Bancorp Inc. common stock. Consequently, California Federal became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc.

 Preferred Stock of Subsidiary

   In March 1993, California Federal issued 3,740,000 shares of 7 3/4%
noncumulative convertible preferred stock at its liquidation preference of
$25.00 per share (the "Preferred Stock, Series A"). The issuance of the
Preferred Stock, Series A, resulted in an $89.0 million increase in the equity
capital of California Federal, after deducting issue costs of $4.5 million.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Preferred Stock, Series A, is convertible by the
holders into the common stock of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. at any time at a
conversion price of $20.16 per share, subject to adjustment. The Preferred
Stock, Series A, is not redeemable prior to March 31, 1996. At or after March
31, 1996, the Preferred Stock, Series A, is redeemable at the option of
California Federal, in whole or in part, at par value plus declared but unpaid
dividends.

   In March 1994, California Federal issued 1,725,000 shares of 10 5/8%
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock at its liquidation preference of
$100.00 per share (the "Preferred Stock, Series B"). The issuance of the
Preferred Stock, Series B resulted in an $164.2 million increase in the equity
capital of California Federal, after deducting issue costs of $8.3 million. The
Preferred Stock, Series B, is generally not redeemable prior to April 1, 1999.
The Preferred Stock, Series B, is redeemable at the option of California
Federal, in whole or in part, at $105.313 per share on or after April 1, 1999
and prior to April 1, 2000, and at prices decreasing annually thereafter to the
liquidation preference of $100.00 per share on or after April 1, 2003, plus
declared but unpaid dividends. In addition, the Preferred Stock, Series B, is
redeemable at the option of California Federal or its successor or any
acquiring or resulting entity with respect to California Federal on or after
April 1, 1996 and prior to April 1, 1999 in whole, but not in part, in the
event of a change of control of California Federal at $114.50 per share. The
preferred stock of subsidiary is accounted for as a minority interest in the
accompanying financial statements. Dividends on preferred stock of subsidiary
are accounted for as expense in the audited financial statements.

 Common Stock Warrants

   In December 1992, California Federal issued 13,879,865 warrants to purchase
California Federal common stock during June 1994. Throughout June 1994, warrant
holders were entitled to purchase one share of the common stock of California
Federal for $9.00 and five warrants. Approximately 93% of the warrants were
exercised. Warrants not exercised by June 30, 1994 became worthless and no
longer entitled the holders to purchase any shares of the common stock of
California Federal. The exercised warrants provided California Federal with
$23.3 million of additional equity capital during 1994.

  Participation Interests

   During 1995, California Federal registered contingent litigation recovery
participation interests ("Participation Interests") to be issued to its common
shareholders. The Participation Interests represent a right to receive an
amount equal to up to 25.377745% of the cash payment, if any, actually received
by California Federal, resulting from the pending goodwill lawsuit of
California Federal against the federal government. In the lawsuit, California
Federal Bank, alleges that the United States breached certain contractual
commitments regarding the computation of its regulatory capital and deprived
California Federal of certain of its property without just compensation in
violation of the United States constitution. The claims of California Federal
arose from changes, mandated by FIRREA, with respect to the rules for computing
the regulatory capital of California Federal. The Bank's stockholders of record
on July 14, 1995, received one Participation Interest for every ten shares of
common stock owned on the record date. The Participation Interests were
distributed on July 28, 1995 and began trading on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market
under the symbol "CALGZ" on August 1, 1995.

 Regulatory Capital

   As a savings institution which is regulated by the OTS, California Federal
is required to comply with the capital requirements of the OTS. The regulations
of the OTS require savings institutions to maintain certain minimum levels of
regulatory capital. An institution that fails to comply with its regulatory
capital requirements must obtain OTS approval of a capital plan and can be
subject to a capital directive and certain restrictions on its operations. An
institution that fails to obtain OTS approval of its capital plan is deemed to
be in an unsafe and unsound condition and could be the subject of the
appointment of a conservator or a receiver. At December 31, 1995, the
industry-wide minimum regulatory capital requirements were:

     o  Tangible capital of 1.5% of adjusted total assets, consisting generally
        of stockholders' equity, but excluding most intangible assets such as
        goodwill.

     o  A leverage ratio requiring core capital of 3.0% of adjusted total
        assets, consisting of tangible capital plus supervisory goodwill
        (certain goodwill arising as a result of the acquisition of troubled
        institutions and regulatory assisted acquisitions).

     o  Total risk-based capital consisting of core capital plus certain
        subordinated debt and other capital instruments and general valuation
        allowances on loans receivable equal to 8.0% of the value of
        risk-weighted assets plus off-balance sheet items.

   The table below presents the capital ratios of California Federal as
compared to the industry-wide minimum capital requirements at December 31,
1995:

</TABLE>

   The OTS has implemented a system requiring regulatory sanctions against
institutions that are not adequately capitalized, with the sanctions growing
more severe the lower the institution's capital. The OTS has established
specific capital ratios for five separate capital categories: "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized."

NOTE 23: STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, PREFERRED STOCK OF SUBSIDIARY AND REGULATORY
CAPITAL  (Continued)
    Under the OTS regulations, an institution is treated as well capitalized if
its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 10.0% or more, its ratio
of core capital to risk-weighted assets is 6.0% or more, its ratio of core
capital to total assets is 5.0% or greater and it is not subject to any order
or directive by the OTS to meet a specific capital level.

   At December 31, 1995, (i) the total risk-based capital ratio of California
Federal was 12.36 percent, $183.3 million in excess of "well-capitalized"
requirements, (ii) the Tier I risk-based capital ratio of California Federal
was 10.90 percent, $380.1 million in excess of "well-capitalized" requirements,
and (iii) the leverage ratio of California Federal was 5.91 percent, $130.2
million in excess of "well-capitalized" requirements. Therefore, at December
31, 1995, California Federal met and exceeded all of the requirements of a well
capitalized institution.

   An institution is undercapitalized if its ratio of total capital to
risk-weighted assets is less than 8.0%, its ratio of core capital to
risk-weighted assets is less than 4.0% or its ratio of core capital to total
assets is less than 4.0% (3.0% if the institution receives the highest rating
on the CAMEL examination rating system). An institution whose capital falls
between the well capitalized and undercapitalized levels is treated as
adequately capitalized. An institution is treated as significantly
undercapitalized if the above capital ratios are less than 6.0%, 3.0%, or 3.0%
respectively. An institution is treated as critically undercapitalized if its
ratio of tangible equity (core capital, plus cumulative preferred stock, minus
intangible assets other than qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain
purchased mortgage servicing rights) to total assets is equal to or less than
2.0%. The OTS can apply to an institution in a particular capital category the
sanctions that apply to the next lower capital category if the OTS determines,
after providing the institution notice and opportunity for a hearing, that (1)
the institution is in an unsafe and unsound condition, or (2) the institution
received, in its most recent report of examination, a less-than-satisfactory
rating for asset quality, management, earnings, or liquidity, and the
deficiency has not been corrected. The OTS cannot, however, use this authority
to require an adequately capitalized institution to file a capital restoration
plan, or to subject a significantly undercapitalized institution to the
sanctions applicable to critically undercapitalized institutions.

Federal Bank, F.S.B. to regulatory capital as of December 31, 1995:

   At December 31, 1995, California Federal had $16.7 million included in the
regulatory capital relating to such investments and extensions of credit.

 Restriction on Shareholder's Equity and Dividends

   The payment of dividends, stock repurchases, and other capital distributions
by California Federal are subject to regulation by the OTS. The OTS requires 30
days' prior notice of any capital distribution. On December 5, 1994, the OTS
proposed various amendments to its rules on capital distributions to conform
them to the prompt corrective action system established by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. Under the proposed regulation,
those institutions that have the CAMEL ratings of 1 or 2 and are not controlled
by a holding company would no longer be required to notify OTS before capital
distributions. Most other savings institutions could make capital distributions
upon giving notice to OTS provided that, following the distribution, the
institution would remain at least adequately capitalized as defined by the
prompt corrective action system. The proposed amendments are pending.

   Pursuant to statutes, savings institutions that do not meet their current
capital requirements generally may not make any capital distributions.

 Tax Bad Debt Reserves

   For federal income tax purposes, savings institutions meeting certain
definitional and other tests are allowed special bad debt reserve deductions.
If amounts appropriated to these tax bad debt reserves in excess of an
allowable offset computed under the experience method ("excess tax bad debt
reserves") are used for the payment of nontaxable dividends or other
distributions to stockholders (including distributions in dissolution,
liquidation or redemption of stock), an amount will generally be includable in
taxable income. The amount includable in taxable income is equal to the
distribution plus the federal income tax attributable thereto, up to the
aggregate amount of excess tax bad debt reserves. At December 31, 1995, the
Bank's total tax bad debt reserves of approximately $76 million did not include
any amount which may represent excess tax bad debt reserves.

NOTE 24: EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

 Retirement Plans

   The Bank has two defined benefit plans: one covering its employees
("retirement income plan") and one for the non-employee directors ("outside
directors plan"). Prior to 1995, the bank had two outside directors plans.
During 1995, one of the outside directors plans was terminated and subsequently
liquidated. Effective May 31, 1993, the retirement income plan was frozen and
all accrued benefits were automatically 100% vested. The plan froze all accrued
benefits, however; credited service will continue to accrue for purposes of
determining eligibility for early retirement (and the applicable early
retirement reduction factors).

NOTE 24: EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS  (Continued)
    The Bank's funding policy for the retirement income plan is to contribute
an amount equal to the minimum required contribution under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Bank from time to time may increase
its contribution beyond the minimum reflecting the tax and cash position of the
Bank and the funded status of the plan. The outside directors plan is unfunded.
Additionally, the Bank had a supplemental defined benefit retirement plan for
key employees (the "supplemental plan") which was terminated on December 31,
1993. The Bank has recorded a liability of $0.1 million as of December 31, 1995
related to the supplemental plan.

   The following tables set forth the pension plan's funded status and amounts
recognized in the Bank's consolidated statements for the years indicated:

   The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions ("SFAS
106"). SFAS 106 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1992. SFAS 106 establishes accounting standards for all employers'
postretirement benefits other than pensions; however, it focuses on
postretirement health care benefits. SFAS 106 changes the current practice of
accounting for postretirement benefits on a cash basis by accruing the cost of
these benefits during the years the employee renders the necessary service. The
Bank has a defined benefit postretirement plan which provides for
postretirement medical benefits to eligible retired employees.

  Investment Plus Plan

   The Investment Plus Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan that is
available to substantially all employees. The Plan is a qualified plan under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employee contributions are
voluntary, as employees may elect to defer from one to ten percent of
compensation, exclusive of overtime, bonuses or other special payments
("qualifying compensation"). Participants vest immediately in their own
contributions and they vest in the Bank's contributions based on years of
service. Up to 4% of participants' contributions are matched by the Bank on a
schedule that is determined by the participants' years of service with the
Bank. The table below presents the Bank's matching contributions as determined
by the participants' years of service.

                    CAL FED BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

(1) PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

   In the opinion of Cal Fed Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"),
the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, prepared from the
Company's books and records, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial condition as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the
results of operations and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do
not include all information and footnotes necessary to present the financial
position, results of operations and statements of cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

   Included in the preparation of such statements are certain material
estimates related to determining the allowances for potential losses on loans,
real estate and the impairment of other assets. Additionally, the Company has
made certain estimates relating to various legal proceedings in which the
Company has been named as a defendant and has established allowances in
accordance with its estimates. In the event that actual losses materially
exceed the allowances established, the Company may realize a material adverse
impact on its financial condition and results of operations.

   During the 1995 fourth quarter, California Federal Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank")
obtained regulatory and shareholder approval to reorganize into a holding
company structure to provide greater flexibility for meeting future financial
and competitive needs. As a result of the reorganization, on January 1, 1996,
each share of the Bank's common stock was converted into one share of Cal Fed
Bancorp Inc. common stock and the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cal
Fed Bancorp Inc. In order to present comparative financial statements and other
financial information, the Company's financial statements and other financial
information reported herein for periods prior to the reorganization into a
holding company structure are presented on an "as if" pooling-of-interests
basis.

   In March 1993, the Bank issued 3,740,000 shares of 7 3/4% noncumulative
convertible preferred stock at a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share
(the "Preferred Stock, Series A"). Effective January 1, 1996, the Preferred
Stock, Series A, was convertible by the holders into the common stock of Cal
Fed Bancorp Inc. at any time at a conversion price of $20.16 per share, subject
to adjustment.

   During the second quarter of 1996, the Bank called for redemption all
3,740,000 shares of the Preferred Stock, Series A. Except for the conversion of
18,820 shares into 23,336 shares of the Company's common stock, the Series A
shares were redeemed effective June 14, 1996 at a redemption price of $25.00
per share, plus a dividend of $0.398264 per share.

   In March 1994, the Bank issued 1,725,000 shares of 10.625% noncumulative
perpetual preferred stock at its liquidation preference of $100.00 per share
(the "Preferred Stock, Series B"). The issuance of the Preferred Stock, Series
