Res. Loan Profitability - Key Assumptions

         Loan  profitability  is  calculated in terms of return on common equity
assuming:

     5% common equity funding allocation

     50% risk weight for regulatory capital purposes

     average economic return (rather than periodic  accounting  return) over the
expected life of an average loan

Res. Loan Profitability - Sale of SFR FR Mortgages

     Washington  Mutual sells  approximately 70% of all fixed-rate single family
residential loans in the secondary market

     Fixed-rate  loans retained  generally carry higher interest rates and are a
good interest rate risk match against non-interest checking balances

     Sale of single  family  fixed-rate  mortgages  results  in two  impacts  on
earnings

Financial Overview
Res. Loan Profitability - Sale of SFR FR Mortgages

     Gain on sale results in the  capitalization  of mortgage  servicing  rights
(MSRs) which are amortized over the loan's servicing life

     MSRs carry a 100% regulatory risk weight

     In the analysis that  follows,  it is assumed that MSRs are supported by 5%
equity  financing  and 5% debt  financing  that  qualifies as Tier II regulatory
capital.

     The  analysis  is based on the sale of  $1,000,000  par value of fixed rate
mortgage loans

     Mortgage and consumer loans increase financial center profitability

               consumer lending tends to decline during home loan
               refinancing episodes

               financial  centers  can  reallocate  staff from
               consumer to mortgage lending easily,  maintaining
               efficient use of resources

     Customer visits to financial  centers are  declining and use of electronic
banking (telephone) is increasing

               expands  financial  center's  capacity to

Deployment of Capital - 1998 Wholesale Asset Purchases

         Available for sale securities increased $5.1 billion through April

         Assuming   refinancing   activity   continues   to  decline   and  loan
         originations  remain strong,  further asset purchases should be limited

         Available for sale securities could decline during the remainder of the
         year as principal is repaid

Financial Overview
Deployment of Capital - Net Interest Margin

Assuming  stable  interest  rates,  the  14%  asset  growth  model  has  several
implications:

Assets

     remixing loans toward higher  yielding loans should have a small  favorable
     impact

     increasing the portion of loans relative to securities  should have a small
     favorable impact

     overall,  asset  yields could rise as much as 10 basis points over the next
     two years

Liabilities

     remixing deposits toward transactions  accounts should reduce deposit costs
     by up to 15 basis points over the next two years

     however, the overall cost of funds rises as the portion of assets funded by
     borrowings rises

Financial Overview
Deployment of Capital - Net Interest Margin

         The net impact on the margin could be a decrease by as much as 10 basis
         points  over the next two years

         The impact on the margin  could be less
         unfavorable,  if:

               deposits  increase

               transaction  accounts increase more

               loan  originations are stronger (reduce amount of lower yielding
               securities)

               higher  yielding  loan  originations  are higher  (strong
               performance of financial centers and Aristar)
