fivesix years primarily through acquisitions. In 1996, we acquired Keystone Holdings, Inc., the parent of American Savings Bank, F.A.("ASB").This acquisition, referred to as the "Keystone Transaction," gave us our first depository institution in California. In 1997, we acquired Great Western Financial Corporation("Great Western")and in October 1998, we acquired H.F. Ahmanson & Co. ("Ahmanson").

TheHome Loans Group's mission is to be the premier catalyst for affordable homeownership, using our proprietary approach to home lending encompassed in our branding, the Power of Yes(TM). The goal of the Home Loans Group is to be the nation's leading mortgage lender. We will measure our success by our origination and servicing market share, our profitability, and brand awareness. 36 During 2000, the Home Loans Group announced partnerships with two electronic mortgage origination companies to develop a mortgage origination and decision-making platform known as Optis(TM). This system will be available in all of our distribution channels, which will allow consumers to conduct business with us according to their preferences. In the third quarter of 2000, we re-launched www.wamumortgage.com. The new site possesses a more robust recommendation engine, numerous calculators, interactive customer service, and provides 24-hour customer access to the status of their loan application. As of December 31, 2000, the Home Loans Group served about 1.2 million households throughout the United States by providing a wide range of mortgage financing products. Our principal banking subsidiaries offer first mortgage loan products that provide permanent home financing as well as loans for the construction of single-family homes. Permanent loans made available to consumers include conventional fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans, FHA-insured, VA-guaranteed fixed-rate mortgage loans, and both fixed- and adjustable-rate Jumbo (loan amounts in excess of $275,000) loans. All loangroup's products are offeredwith a variety of maturities, amortization schedules and, in the case of ARMs, rate repricing frequencies. The primary ARM products that we offer are indexedtothe 12-month average of the annual yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one-year ("MTA"). Under our current programs, a borrower may choose among loans that have interim payment caps or interim interest rate caps. Our loans with payment caps typically have monthly rate adjustments with initial start rates fixed for one-, three-, six-, or twelve-months. We often offer a "teaser" rate with our payment-capped ARMs, which means the initial start rate of the loan is below market rates. These loans offer our borrowers payment flexibility not offered in other loan products, which has made this our most popular home-financing product. The loans feature four payment options each month: a minimum payment based on the start rate; a payment that covers the full interest due; a payment that ensures full amortization over the term of the loan; and a payment that amortizes the loan over 15 years. These loans typically have payments that we cannot change annually by more than a contractual percentage, usually 7.5%. In addition, we offer loans with fixed initial start rates for one-, three-, or five-years and annual rate adjustments thereafter. The annual rate adjustments are usually limited to 2% and the payments are always re-amortized to the remaining maturity of the loan. In addition, we offer each of our loan products with a prepayment premium as well as at a different rate without a prepayment premium. These mortgage products are made available to consumerscustomers throughvariousmultiple distribution channels,which includeincluding retailhome loan centers, wholesalehome loan centers, financial centers, correspondent channels, wholesale home loan centers, and consumer direct through call centers and the internet.For 2000, based on total originations, the Home Loans Group was the nation's largest ARM lender as well as the nation's largest Jumbo lender. In addition, the Home Loans Group was the nation's fifth largest residential lender and sixth largest residential loan servicer. Two of our primary business objectives are to stabilize income and diversify revenues. To achieve these objectives, we have implemented a three-point strategy to generate: (1) spread income from loans held in portfolio; (2) fee income through loan servicing, loan-related fees, and insurance services income; and (3) gains from sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS").2
The acquisitions of Bank United
Corp.and the mortgage operations ofThePNCFinancial Services Group, Inc.and Fleet in 2001, and Dime, including its North American Mortgage Company subsidiary, in early 2002 have significantly strengthened the group's mortgage banking capability, furtherdiversify ourdiversified its mortgage operations geographically,enhance ourincreased its servicing portfolio, and enhanced its market position in the homeloan business, and build our loan servicing portfolio.lending business. These acquisitionsmake us the nation's second largest residential mortgage originator and fourth largest servicer of residential mortgages based on pro forma numbers for the year ended December 31, 2000. They enhancestrengthened ourposition by giving us a stronger capabilityability to originate loans in all 50 states, including originating FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed loans on a national scale.WithThe correspondent lending channel, in particular, grew significantly during 2001, as the result of the acquisition ofWMMSC, we also obtained an improved capability to securitize loansthe mortgage operations of PNC andsellFleet. These acquisitions, along with theresulting MBS inrecently completed acquisition of certain operating assets of HomeSide, have made thesecondary market and to generate fee income through master servicing activities. Originations of prime SFR loans (excluding SFR construction loans) increased during 2000, fueled particularly by originations of short-term ARMs, which reprice primarily on a monthly basis according toHome Loans Group theindex (e.g., MTA, 11th District monthly weighted average cost of funds index ("COFI")) to which the 47 ARMs are tied. The increase in short-term ARM originations was attributable to the higher interest rate environment during the first half of 2000 and the resulting customer preference for short-term ARMs over fixed-rate loans. We generally sell the fixed-rate SFR loans we originate. Most of the fixed-rate conformingnation's largest residential mortgageloans are sold to Fannie Mae. In addition, we securitize loans that are also sold to Fannie Mae. We use our own underwriting standards and origination system to originate loans. We occasionally securitize loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under programs in which they have recourse against us as the servicer of the loans ("Recourse MBS"). These securitizations primarily involve ARMs. They generally are less costly and sometimes require less documentation than securitizations without recourse ("Non-Recourse MBS"). We can either sell Recourse MBS in the secondary market or use them to collateralize borrowings and to meet regulatory liquidity requirements. We have retained the majority of Recourse MBS in our portfolio.servicer.The Home Loans Group has
also been developing waysdeveloped an automated mortgage origination platform, OptisTM. The first release ofselling ARM loansOptis was completed in 2001 and is designed to enhance productivity with automated pricing and approval, while providing consistent evaluations of credit quality. The second release is expected to improve functionality of thesecondary marketmortgage origination process, reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies.The Home Loans Group's strength as a portfolio lender provides customers with a range of choices designed to
complement our existing strategy of sellingmeet their financial needs. The group offers a broad product line that includes adjustable-rate mortgages ("ARMs") offering borrowers multiple payment options, traditional ARMs, and fixed-rateloans. Selling ARM loans in the secondary market will allow us to manage asset growth more efficientlymortgages, both conforming andshould reduce the volatility of income related to loans during changing interest rate environments. To achieve optimum pricing, current ARM production that is not retained in the loan portfolio will either be sold to investors shortly following origination or securitized and retained in the available-for-sale securities portfolio for a period of time, and then sold as Non-Recourse MBS. We expect to be able to increase the amount of noninterest income relative to net interest income through gains on sales of loans and MBS as well as loan servicing income. Through Long Beach Mortgage, we are engaged in the business of originating, purchasing and selling specialty mortgage loans. Long Beach Mortgage originates loans primarily through wholesale channels of production. Long Beach Mortgage's nationwide network of independent mortgage loan brokers generates loans in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 2000, none of Long Beach Mortgage's wholesale brokers was responsible for more than 1% of Long Beach Mortgage's wholesale originations during the year. Long Beach Mortgage maintains a close working relationship with brokers through its sales force of approximately 280 account executives located in 59 offices. Long Beach Mortgage has followed a strategy of selling or securitizing and selling substantially all of its loan originations in the secondary market. Long Beach Mortgage has historically sold its entire economic interest in the loan except for the related servicing rights, which it has generally retained. In 2000, Long Beach Mortgage began securitizing and selling its production while retaining rights to residual cash flows in the securities created.nonconforming. The Home Loans Group alsopurchases loan portfolios with risk characteristics similar to those of loans originated by Long Beach Mortgage. Because these portfolios, as well as those ofoffers FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed fixed-rate mortgages and, through Long Beach Mortgagetend to have higher creditCompany ("Long Beach Mortgage"), its subprime wholesale channel, originates specialty home loans, a component of specialty mortgage finance ("SMF") lending.To manage risk,
they generally provide higher yields than the prime mortgage loans made by our banking subsidiaries and WMHLI. Our typical borrowers within these portfolios would generally not qualify for a loan from our banking subsidiaries due to their credit history, higher debt-to-income ratio or other factors. While we screen these portfolios for unacceptable credit risk, these loans, by their nature, bear more credit risk than is found in prime mortgage loans or in agency MBS. Accordingly, we expect that loan charge offs on these portfolios will be higher over time than on our other mortgage portfolios. In addition to SFR mortgage loans, the Home Loans Group also offers construction financing on SFR properties. We make custom construction loans to the intended occupant of a house to finance the house's construction. We typically combine construction phase financing with permanent financing of the completed home. Allall loans originated aresubjectsubjected to the same nondiscriminatory underwritingstandards. All loans are subjectstandards and tounderwritingcertain restrictions on terms and origination practices.

Mortgage servicing is
less. We perform re-underwritingthe administration andappraisal review on somecollection of mortgage payments and fees. The SFR servicing portfolio (including loans retained in the portfolio) grew from approximately 1.4 million customers at December 31, 2000 to approximately 4.3 million at December 31, 2001 with an average loan size of $115,000. At year-end, Washington Mutual had a $496.7 billion loan servicing portfolio which represented an 8.62% market share, based upon a 2001 mortgage servicer ranking byInside Mortgage Finance. As part of the integration steps taken on the recent acquisitions, the group consolidated eight servicing facilities into four to reduce overhead. The remaining four locations are in California, South Carolina, Wisconsin and Illinois. With the recent acquisition of certain operating assets of HomeSide, the group acquired two additional servicing sites in Texas and Florida and a loan servicing platform that, together with the Optis origination platform, is expected to enable end-to-end control of the mortgage process.The capital markets function of the Home Loans Group manages loan pricing and loan sales, and loans
acquiredpurchased fromourcorrespondents.Washington Mutual Insurance Services, Inc.Capital markets also hedges the interest rate risk of loans originated for sale by entering into forward sales agreements and by purchasing interest rate option contracts. Capital markets sells most of the fixed-rate SFR loan volume, with most fixed-rate conforming mortgage loans sold to government sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") such as Fannie Mae ("FNMA"). Loans that do not conform to GSE standards, such as jumbo loans, are generally held in portfolio or sold by capital markets in the secondary market either directly or through securitizations. Capital markets also periodically sells3
originated SMF loans in whole loan or securitization transactions. ARM loans are also sold periodically in the secondary market in order to manage asset growth more efficiently. In addition, the group is developing an institutional broker-dealer business to help facilitate its loan securitizations. When licensing is completed later this year, the broker-dealer business will provide a link between the Home Loans Group and the capital markets, allowing the group to sell, trade, and underwrite mortgage-related products directly to institutional investors.
The Home Loans Group manages a portfolio of originated ARM and fixed-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"). The group also purchases and manages SMF loans with risk characteristics similar to those originated by Long Beach Mortgage. While the group reviews and re-underwrites SMF loans for unacceptable credit risk, charge offs on these loans are expected to be higher over time than on the group's prime mortgage loans. SMF loans have higher credit risk and, thus, generally provide higher risk-adjusted yields than prime mortgage loans or agency MBS.

conducts operations through WMBFA, WMB, WMBfsb, and Washington Mutual Finance. An array of commercial products are offered to our customers through our group, all under the Washington Mutual brand name. Additionally, consumer finance products are offered through Washington Mutual Finance. The Specialty Finance Group provides industry specialty financing for the following business sectors: syndicated finance, asset-based finance, and franchise finance. In each of these areas, we have developed specialized expertise that allows us to serve our markets efficiently while at the same time ensuring high credit quality from a diverse group of customers. The merger with Bank United Corp. complements our plans to grow our commercial business portfolio and extends our market presence into some of the nation's most attractive geographic markets, including Texas. Like our existing business, Bank United Corp. offers a full line of commercial products and services to businesses across the nation. Lending programs added as a result of the merger with Bank United Corp. include mortgage banker finance, and energy and healthcare lending.The Specialty Finance Group provides real estate secured financing primarily for multi-family properties. Additionally, the group provides commercial

The payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties usually depends on the successful operations of the real estate projects that secure the loans and, thus, may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or in the economy, particularly the interest rate environment. Commercial real estate values tend to be cyclical and, while commercial real estate values trended upward in many parts of the country in 2000, we closely monitor the commercial real estate environment to determine the appropriate level of our activity in this area. In commercial real estate lending, we consider the project's location, marketability, and overall attractiveness. Current underwriting guidelines for commercial real estate loans require an economic analysis of each property with regard to the annual revenue and expenses, debt service coverage, and fair value to determine the maximum loan amount. Before we make a commercial real estate loan, various levels of approvals must be obtained depending on the size and characteristics of the loan. Residential builder construction provides loans to borrowers who are in the business of acquiring land and building homes for resale. Each builder loan is made on a property-by-property basis and generally matures one to three years from origination. Proper consideration is given to the higher risk inherent in these transactions as each loan is underwritten. During 2000, substantially all of our SFR builder construction loans were made in Washington, Oregon, Utah, Florida, and California. The addition of Bank United Corp.'s residential builder construction business qualifies us as one of the largest builder construction lenders in the nation and diversifies our geographic market presence. Mortgage banker finance provides small- and medium-sized mortgage and consumer finance companies with credit facilities, including secured lines of credit, securities purchased under agreements to resell and 69 working capital credit lines. Mortgage banker finance also offers cash management, document custody, and deposit services to its customers.Mutual Finance"). Washington Mutual Finance currently operates533459 branches in 25 states, primarily in the southeastern United States, Texas and California.The group's multi-family lending base includes products for permanent financing, construction lending and rehab financing. Multi-family loans are offered to property owners and developers throughout the United States. While the national market for multi-family lending is quite large, market share is highly fragmented, as the top 25 lenders account for only 32% of the total number of loans originated annually. As part of its business strategy, the Specialty Finance Group intends to seek additional market share by pursuing multi-family industry consolidation opportunities.
�� The Specialty Finance Group's multi-family lending program revolves around three key elements: originating loans, servicing loans and providing ancillary banking services to enhance customer retention. Combining these three elements under one umbrella has allowed the group to attain a leading market position in this field.
The Company was recently ranked as a leading national originator of multi-family loans, measured both in terms of number of loans and total origination dollar volume. This has been achieved through both internal growth and acquisitions. The recent acquisitions of Bank United and Dime have expanded our origination activities into the Midwest and East and broadened our multi-family product line.
The Company also leads the nation in the number of multi-family loans serviced. Around this servicing base, the Specialty Finance Group is developing uniform loan servicing standards across a national servicing platform. Periodic economic analysis, such as debt service coverage on each property and ongoing credit review will also be part of this platform's capabilities. Additionally, the group is developing a scalable business template that is designed to enable it to maintain high levels of service with low operating costs in all types of multi-family markets.

Combining the origination and servicing of multi-family loans with full-service banking allows the Specialty Finance Group to focus on the customers' total needs. As part of this relationship banking, the group provides operating accounts for daily cash needs, investment accounts for security and escrow deposits, and other business-related accounts to ensure that customers are offered a full array of banking services.
The Specialty Finance Group also provides loans for residential builders, real estate developers, and mortgage bankers. These areas represent approximately 30% of the total non multi-family commercial lending activities of the group. As an extension of its multi-family lending activities, these products will provide additional services to the group's traditional customer base. The group anticipates further growth in these product categories, as the Company expands its multi-family lending.
In addition to the commercial lending and servicing activities mentioned above, the Specialty Finance Group, through Washington Mutual Finance, originates and services consumer installment loans and consumer real estate secured loans. These loans
whichare generally held in the loan portfolio. Loans originated by Washington Mutual Finance generally earn higher yields than loans made by the Company's banking subsidiaries because they tend to have higher credit risk. The majority of the growth in the loan portfolio originated in 2001 was related to loans secured by real estate. The consumer installment loans are primarily for personal, family or household purposes.TheseSuch loanstypically have original terms ranging from 12 to 360 months. In 2000, originations had an average original term of 74 months. Of the originations (in dollars) in 2000, 70% wereare unsecured or secured by luxury goods, automobiles or other personalproperty, and 30% were secured by real estate.property. Additionally, Washington Mutual Finance acquires installment contracts from local retail establishments, usually without recourse to the originating merchant.These contracts are typically written with original terms of three to 60 months, averaging 28 months in 2000. The loans made by Washington Mutual Finance generally have a higher yield than the prime mortgage loans made by our banking subsidiaries, because these loans tend to have higher credit risk. Our typical consumer finance borrower would generally not qualify for a loan from our banking subsidiaries due to their credit history, high debt-to-income ratio or other factors. TREASURY DIVISION The primary responsibilities of our treasury division are: - interest rate risk management, - liquidity management, - investing activities, - borrowing activities, and - capital management. Interest Rate Risk Management We actively manage the amounts and maturities of our assets and liabilities to mitigate repricing and prepayment risks. We sell fixed-rate loans, since they are difficult to match in duration to liabilities because of prepayment risk and longer maturities. To further mitigate repricing risk, prepayment risk, and to a lesser extent cap risk, we use derivative instruments, such as interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements. See "Management of Interest Rate Risk and Derivative Activities." We do not attempt to hedge lag or basis risk because the impacts of these risks are usually short-lived and the cost of hedging is high. To monitor the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes, we conduct financial modeling of the balance sheet and earnings under a variety of interest rate scenarios. This modeling does require significant assumptions about loan prepayment rates, loan origination volumes and liability funding sources. While these assumptions may ultimately differ from actual results, these simulations are helpful for measuring interest rate sensitivity. We monitor interest rate sensitivity and attempt to reduce the risk of a significant decrease in net interest income caused by a change in interest rates. We also monitor the impact of interest rate changes on our net portfolio value. Liquidity Management Our liquidity policy is to maintain sufficient liquidity above daily funding needs to protect against unforeseen liquidity demands. We manage liquidity primarily through the securitization of mortgage loans and through various sources of borrowings, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repurchase agreements"), Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, and other secured and unsecured sources of funds. 710 Investing Activities We manage the Company's purchased investment securities, which are primarily comprised of agency MBS and investment grade private MBS. During 2000, our purchases of MBS declined, since the MBS had acceptable, but lower returns than loans originated by us and held in our portfolio or securitized and retained. Borrowing Activities To keep pace with asset growth in recent years, we have increasingly relied on wholesale borrowings to fund asset growth. Borrowings include repurchase agreements, the purchase of federal funds, the issuance of capital notes and other types of debt securities, the issuance of commercial paper, and funds obtained as advances from the FHLBs of Seattle and San Francisco. We also have access to the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window. We actively engage in repurchase agreements with authorized broker-dealers and major customers, selling U.S. Government debt securities and MBS under agreements to repurchase them at a future date. WMB and WMBfsb are members of the FHLB of Seattle, and WMBFA is a member of the FHLB of San Francisco. As members, each company maintains a credit line that is a percentage of its total regulatory assets, subject to collateralization requirements. Each institution obtaining FHLB advances is required to enter into a written agreement with the lending FHLB under which the borrowing institution is primarily and unconditionally obligated to repay such advances and all other amounts owed to the lending FHLB. All advances must be fully secured by eligible collateral. Eligible collateral includes all stock owned of the FHLBs, deposits with the FHLBs, and certain mortgages or deeds of trust and securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies. Our depository institutions accept deposits, primarily time deposit accounts, from political subdivisions and public agencies. We consider these deposits to be a borrowing source rather than a customer relationship and, hence, they are managed by the treasury division. Other funding activities include the issuance of commercial paper by WMI and Washington Mutual Finance. We have commercial paper facilities backed by combined credit facilities from a syndicate of banks. We also issue senior and subordinated debt at WMI and WMBFA, and senior notes at Washington Mutual Finance. Capital Management In order to deploy accumulated capital, we repurchased our common stock during the first half of 2000. From April 20, 1999, the inception of the repurchase program, through June 30, 2000, we repurchased a total of 66.3 million shares as part of our previously announced purchase programs. We did not repurchase any shares during the last half of 2000. During this time, capital was accumulated to facilitate balance sheet growth and accommodate the acquisitions of Bank United Corp. and the mortgage operations of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. Our capital management strategy also focuses on the risk-based capital and leverage ratios of our principal banking subsidiaries. EMPLOYEESEmployees
Our number of full-time equivalent employees ("FTE") at December 31, 2001 was 39,465, compared with 28,798 at December 31, 2000
was 28,798, a slight increase fromand 28,509 at December 31, 1999. Duringthe previous year,2001, the number of FTEalsoincreasedslightly from 27,957 at December 31, 1998,primarily as a result ofapproximately 1,000 employees added inthe acquisitions of Bank United and the mortgage operations of PNC and Fleet. In addition, the acquisition ofLong Beach Mortgage.Dime added approximately 6,900 FTE during the first quarter of 2002. We believe that we have been successful in attracting quality employees and that our employee relations are good.COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT We operate in a highly competitive environment. The activities of our three major lines of business (Banking and Financial Services, Home Loans and Insurance Services, and Specialty Finance) are subject to 811 significant competition in attracting and retaining deposits and making loans as well as in providing other financial services in all of our market areas. Competition focuses on customer services, interest rates on loans and deposits, lending limits and customer convenience, such as product lines offered and the accessibility of services. Our most direct competition for deposits has historically come from savings institutions, credit unions and commercial banks doing business in our primary market areas of California, Washington, Oregon, Florida, Texas and Utah. Enacted in 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley ("GLB") Act does not increase our authority to affiliate, but it does benefit our competitors, as discussed below. See "Business -- Regulation and Supervision." As with all banking organizations, we have also experienced competition from nonbanking sources, including mutual funds, corporate and governmental debt securities and other investment alternatives offered within and outside of our primary market areas. Our most direct competition for loans has traditionally come from other savings institutions, national mortgage companies, insurance companies, commercial banks and government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"). In addition to the provisions of the GLB Act, technological advances and heightened e-commerce activities have also increased accessibility to services without physical presence, which has intensified competition among banking as well as nonbanking companies in offering financial products and services. Although our competitors' activities may make it a bigger challenge for us to achieve our financial goals, we are continuously reassessing our overall competitive edge to attract more customers for our products and services. With the changes in technology and increased competition from banking as well as from nonbanking entities, the traditional environment in which we have operated in the past has been transformed into a fiercely dynamic and competitive environment. Although we are faced with increased competitive pressures, we remain adaptable to these changes by continuously reviewing and redefining the ways in which we do our business and, as a result, we remain a strong market force in our core areas. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTSFactors That May Affect Future Results
From time to time, we have made and will make forward-looking statements. Our Form 10-K and other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission have forward-looking statements. In addition, our senior management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may."
Forward-looking statements provide our expectations or predictions of future conditions, events or results. They are not guarantees of future performance. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual conditions, events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Some of these factors are described below.
BusinessGeneral business and
Economic Conditionseconomic conditions may significantly affect our earnings.Our business and earnings are sensitive to general business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation,
monetarymoney supply, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, the strength of the U.S. economy, and the local economies in which we conduct business. If any of these conditions worsen, our business and earnings could be adversely affected. For example, if short-term interest ratescontinue to decline, this could increase loan prepayments,rise faster than mortgage rates, our net interest income, whichcould lead to a decline in the valueis our largest component ofour mortgage servicing rights. Annet income, would be adversely affected. A prolonged economic downturnor rising interest rate 912 environmentcoulddecrease the demand for loans andincrease the number of customers who become delinquent or default on their loans, or a rising interest rate environment could decrease the demand for loans. An increase in delinquencies or defaults could result in a higher level of charge offs and provision for loan and lease losses, which could adversely affect our earnings.Higher interest rates would also increase our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which could outpace the increase in the yield on interest-earning assets and lead to a reduction in the net interest margin. Diversification of Assets We have reduced the percentage of SFR loans and MBS in our portfolio and increased the percentage of consumer loans, commercial business loans and specialty mortgage finance loans. Although these loans generally provide a higher yield than our SFR loans and MBS, they also carry more credit risk. To the extent that we need to increase our provision for loan and lease losses as a result of these loans, our earnings could be adversely affected. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") -- Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses" in this Form 10-K for more specific discussion. Concentration of Operations in California At December 31, 2000, 52% of our loan portfolio and 71% of our deposits were concentrated in California. As a result, our results of operations and financial condition are particularly subject to the conditions in the single-family and multi-family residential markets in California. If economic conditions generally, or in California in particular, worsen or if the market for residential real estate declines, we may experience greater delinquencies, which may result in decreased net income and decreased collateral values on our existing portfolio. We also may not be able to originate the volume or type of loans or achieve the level of deposits that we currently anticipate. The forward-looking statements contained within MD&A assume that the California economy and real estate market will remain healthy. Worsening of economic conditions or a significant decline in real estate values in California could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Competition We face significant competition both in attracting and retaining deposits and in making loans in all of our markets. As with all banking organizations, we have also experienced competition from nonbanking sources, including mutual funds and securities brokerage companies. We expect increased competition in the financial services industry as a result of recent legislation that removes many of the restrictions on affiliations among banks, insurance companies, and securities firms. Our most direct competition for loans comes from other savings institutions, national mortgage companies, insurance companies, commercial banks, and government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"), such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Competition from such sources could increase in the future and could adversely affect our ability to achieve our financial goals.In addition,
competitive factors, such as the lower cost structure of less-regulated originators and the influence of the GSEs in establishing rates, heavily influenceourlending activities. Fiscal and Monetary Policies Ourbusiness and earnings are significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies. We are particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve Board, which regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. The Federal Reserve Board's policies directly and indirectly influence the yield on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in those policies are beyond our control and difficult to predict.MergersIf we are unable to effectively manage the volatility of our mortgage banking business, our earnings could be adversely affected.
During 2001, through a series of acquisitions, we became one of the largest originators and
Acquisitions We expandservicers of SFR loans in the nation. Changes in interest rates significantly affect the mortgage banking business. One of the principal risks to the mortgage banking business is prepayments and their effect on MSR. One of the ways we mitigate this risk is by purchasing financial instruments, such as fixed-rate investment securities, which tend to increase in value when long-term interest rates decline. The success of this strategy, however, is dependent on management's judgments regarding the direction and timing of changes in long-term interest rates, and the resulting decisions that are made regarding the purchases and subsequent sales of these financial instruments. If this strategy is not successful, ourbusiness, in part, by acquiring other financial institutions or a portionnet income could be adversely affected. For further discussion oftheir business. We continuehow MSR prepayment risk is managed, see "Market Risk Management."A failure to

A numberpersonnel offactors related to past and future acquisitionscompanies we have acquired could adversely affect our1013earnings and financial condition.During 2001 and early 2002, we consummated five large acquisitions. As a result of these acquisitions, we significantly expanded our mortgage banking and loan servicing business, greatly expanded our consumer banking and
earnings. In addition,lending presence in Texas and began consumer banking operations in the State of New York. If we experience difficulties in integrating the acquired operations into ouracquisitions are often subjectcompany, including the integration of technology platforms, this could result in higher than anticipated administrative costs, employee turnover and the loss of customers, among other things. These events could cause our earnings toregulatory approval. The failure to receive required regulatory approvals within the time frame or on the conditions expected by managementbe lower than anticipated and couldalsoadversely affect our operations and financial condition.Due to the concentration of our operations in California, a decline in the California economy could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.
At December 31, 2001, 51% of our SFR and multi-family loan portfolio and 63% of our deposits were concentrated in California. Consequently, our results of operations and financial condition are particularly subject to the conditions in the single-family and multi-family residential markets in California. If economic conditions generally, or in California in particular, worsen or if the market for residential real

estate declines, we may experience greater delinquencies, which may result in a higher provision for loan and lease losses and decreased collateral values on our existing portfolio. We also may not be able to originate the volume or type of loans or achieve the level of deposits that we currently anticipate.
The financial services industry is highly competitive.
We operate in a highly competitive environment. The activities of our three major lines of business (Banking and
earnings. BUSINESS COMBINATIONSFinancial Services, Home Loans and Insurance Services, and Specialty Finance) are subject to significant competition in attracting and retaining deposits and making loans as well as in providing other financial services in all of our market areas. We face competition in customer service, interest rates on loans and deposits, lending limits and customer convenience, such as product lines offered and the accessibility of services.Our most direct competition for deposits comes from savings institutions, credit unions and commercial banks doing business in our market areas.

Our most direct competition for loans comes from other savings institutions, national mortgage companies, insurance companies, commercial banks and GSEs. In addition to the provisions of the GLB Act, technological advances and heightened e-commerce activities have also increased accessibility to services without physical presence, which has intensified competition among banking as well as nonbanking companies in offering financial products and services. Although our competitors' activities may make it a bigger challenge for us to achieve our financial goals, we are continuously reassessing our overall competitive edge to attract more customers for our products and services.
Changes in the regulation of financial services companies could adversely affect our business.
Proposals for further regulation of the financial services industry are continually being introduced in Congress. The agencies regulating the financial services industry periodically adopt changes to their regulations. It is possible that one or more legislative proposals may be adopted or regulatory changes may be made that would have an adverse effect on our business. For further discussion of the regulations of financial services, see "Regulation and Supervision — Recent and Proposed Legislation and Regulation."

Coast. TAXATIONCoast Savings Financial, Inc.Taxation
General
For federal income tax purposes, we report income and expenses using the accrual method of accounting on a calendar year basis. We are subject to federal income tax under existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), in generally the same manner as other corporations.
1114 Tax Bad Debt Reserve Recapture The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the "Job Protection Act") requires that qualified thrift institutions, such as WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb, generally recapture for federal income tax purposes that portion of the balance of their tax bad debt reserves that exceeds the December 31, 1987 balance, with certain adjustments. Such recaptured amounts generally are to be taken into ordinary income ratably over a six-year period beginning in 1997. Accordingly, we have paid or will have to pay approximately an additional $4 million (based upon current federal income tax rates) each year of the six-year period in federal income taxes due to the Job Protection Act.State Income Taxation
The statesMany of
California, Oregon, Florida, Texas, Utah and Idaho, as well as many otherthe states in which we do business, impose corporate income taxes on companies doing business in those states. The state of Washington does not currently have a corporate income tax. Washington imposes on businesses a business and occupation tax based on a percentage of gross receipts.8
Currently, the tax does not apply to interest received on loans secured by first mortgages or deeds of trust on residential properties. However, it is possible that legislation might be introduced in the future that would repeal or limit this exemption.

In connection with the 1988 Acquisition, Keystone Holdings and certain of its affiliates entered into a number of continuing agreements with the predecessor toan agreement (the "Assistance Agreement") with a predecessor ofthe FederalSavings & LoanDeposit Insurance CorporationResolution Fund (the "FRF"("FDIC")., including an Assistance Agreement. The Assistance Agreement provides, in part, for the payment to theFRFFederal Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC") Resolution Fund over time of 75% of most of the federal tax savings and 19.5% of most of the California tax savings (in each case computed in accordance with specific provisions contained in the Assistance Agreement) attributable to the utilization of certain tax losscarryforwards of New West Federal Savings and Loan Association.carryforwards. The provision for such payments is reflected in the financial statements as "Income Taxes."In connection with the acquisition of Bank United in 2001, we acquired Bank United Holdings. Bank United Holdings entered into a Tax Benefits Agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. The Tax Benefits Agreement requires the Bank to pay to the FSLIC Resolution Fund an amount equal to one-third of the sum of the federal and state net tax benefits as defined in the original acquisition agreements ("Net Tax Benefits"). Net Tax Benefits are equal to the excess of any of the federal income tax liability which would have incurred if the tax benefit item had not been deducted or excluded from income over the federal income tax liability actually incurred. Net Tax Benefits items are tax savings resulting mainly from the utilization of net operating losses. The obligation to share tax benefit utilization continues through 2003.

"NotesNote 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements-- Note 12: Income– "Income Taxes."ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONEnvironmental Regulation
Our business and properties are subject to federal and state laws and regulations governing environmental matters, including the regulation of hazardous substances and wastes. For example, under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and similar state laws, owners and operators of contaminated properties may be liable for the costs of cleaning up hazardous substances without regard to whether such persons actually caused the contamination. Such laws may affect us both as an owner of properties used in or held for our business, and as a secured lender of property that is found to contain hazardous substances or wastes.
Further, although CERCLA exempts holders of security interests, the exemption may not be available if a secured party engages in the management of its borrower or the collateral property in a manner deemed beyond the protection of the secured party's interest.
Recent federalFederal and state legislation, as well as guidance issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and a number of court decisions, have provided assurance to lenders regarding the activities they may undertake and remain within CERCLA's secured party exemption. However, these assurances are not absolute and generally will not protect a lender or fiduciary that participates or otherwise involves itself in the management of its borrower, particularly in foreclosure proceedings. As a result, CERCLA and similar state statutes may influence our decision whether to foreclose on property that is found to be contaminated. Our general policy is to obtain an environmental assessment prior toforeclosure offoreclosing on commercial property. The existence of hazardous substances or wastes on such property may cause us to elect not to foreclose on the property, thereby limiting, and in some instances precluding, our realization on such loans.1215 REGULATION AND SUPERVISION9
Regulation and Supervision
References in this section to applicable statutes and regulations are brief summaries only.
YouOne should consult the statutes and regulations for a full understanding of the details of their operation.General
As a savings and loan holding company,
WMIWashington Mutual, Inc. ("WMI" or "the Parent Company") is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision("OTS"(the "OTS").WMBFAWashington Mutual Bank, FA ("WMBFA") andWMBfsbWashington Mutual Bank fsb ("WMBfsb") are federal savings associations and are subject to extensive regulation and examination by the OTS, which is their primary federal regulator. Their deposit accounts are insured by theFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"),FDIC, through the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") and, to a lesser extent, in the case of WMBFA, the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"). The FDIC also has some authority to regulate WMBFA and WMBfsb.WMBWashington Mutual Bank ("WMB") is subject to regulation and supervision by the Director of Financial Institutions of the State of Washington("State(the "State Director"). The FDIC insures the deposit accounts of WMB through both the BIF and the SAIF. The FDIC examines and regulates WMB and other state-chartered banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System ("FDIC-regulated banks"). Federal and state laws and regulations govern, among other things, investment powers, deposit activities, borrowings, maintenance of guaranty funds and retained earnings.

On November 12, 1999, the GLB Act was signed into law. The GLB Act significantly reforms various aspects of the financial services business and includes provisions which: - establish a new framework under which bank holding companies and banks (subject to numerous restrictions) can own securities firms, insurance companies and other financial companies; - generally subject banks to the same securities regulation as other providers of securities products; - prohibit new unitary savings and loan holding companies from engaging in nonfinancial activities or affiliating with nonfinancial entities; - provide consumers with new protections regarding the transfer and use of their nonpublic personal information by financial institutions; and - change the FHLB system in numerous ways, which are described in more detail below. The provisions permitting full affiliations between bank holding companies or banks and other financial companies do not increase our authority to affiliate. As a unitary savings and loan holding company, we were generally permitted to have such affiliations prior to the enactment of the GLB Act. It is expected, however, that these provisions will benefit our competitors. The provisions subjecting banks to securities regulation are not expected to significantly affect us since primarily all of our securities business is conducted through securities subsidiaries that are already subject to such regulation. Some new provisions restricting or regulating ownership of insurance companies by banks apply also to savings institutions, and may hinder WMBFA, WMBfsb or WMB from acquiring certain insurance companies. 1316 The prohibition on the ability of new unitary savings and loan holding companies to engage in nonfinancial activities or affiliating with nonfinancial entities generally applies only to savings and loan holding companies that were not, or had not submitted an application to become, savings and loan holding companies as of May 4, 1999. Since we were treated as a unitary savings and loan holding company prior to that date, the GLB Act will not prohibit us from engaging in nonfinancial activities or acquiring nonfinancial subsidiaries. However, the GLB Act generally restricts any nonfinancial entity from acquiring us unless such nonfinancial entity was, or had submitted an application to become, a savings and loan holding company as of May 4, 1999. Management does not believe that complying with the new consumer privacy provision will have a significant impact on our business. Changes to the FHLB system in the GLB Act included a change in the manner of calculating the Resolution Funding Corporation ("REFCORP") obligations payable by the FHLBs; a broadening of purposes for which FHLB advances may be used; and removal of the requirement that federal savings associations be FHLB members. Previously, the aggregate amount of the annual REFCORP obligation paid by all FHLBs was $300 million. The GLB Act imposes an annual obligation equal to 20% of the net earnings of the FHLBs. This change will result in a greater obligation in years when FHLBs have high income levels, thereby reducing the return on members' investments. With the broadening in the purpose for which FHLB advances can be used, our borrowing costs may rise as demand for advances increases.Holding Company Regulation
WMI is a multiple savings and loan holding company, as defined by federal law, because it owns three savings associations: WMB, WMBFA and WMBfsb. WMB is a state-chartered savings bank that has elected to be treated as a savings association for purposes of the federal savings and loan holding company law. WMI is regulated as a unitary savings and loan holding company because WMBFA and WMBfsb are deemed to have been acquired in supervisory transactions. Therefore, certain restrictions under federal law on the activities and investments of multiple savings and loan holding companies do not apply to WMI. These restrictions will apply to WMI if WMB, WMBFA or WMBfsb fails to be a qualified thrift lender ("QTL"). By this we mean generally that:
-
- •
- at least 65% of a specified asset base must consist of: loans to small businesses, credit card loans, educational loans, or certain assets related to domestic residential real estate, including residential mortgage loans and mortgage securities; or
-- •
- at least 60% of total assets must consist of cash, United States government or government agency debt or equity securities, fixed assets, or loans secured by: deposits, real property used for residential, educational, church, welfare or health purposes, or real property in certain urban renewal areas.
WMB, WMBFA and WMBfsb are currently in compliance with QTL standards. Failure to remain a QTL also would restrict the ability of WMBFA, WMBfsb or WMB to obtain advances from
the FHLB. Failurea Federal10
Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). In addition, failure to remain a QTL
alsowould restrict the ability of WMBFA or WMBfsb to establish newbranchesfinancial centers and pay dividends.Acquisitions by Savings and Loan Holding Companies. Neither WMI nor any other person may acquire control of a savings institution or a savings and loan holding company without the prior approval of the OTS, or, if the acquirer is an individual, the OTS' lack of disapproval. In either case, the public must have an opportunity to comment on the proposed acquisition, and the OTS must complete an application review. Without prior approval from the OTS, WMI may not acquire more than 5% of the voting stock of any savings institution that is not one of its subsidiaries.
The GLB Act generally restricts any nonfinancial entity from acquiring us unless such nonfinancial entity was, or had submitted an application to become, a savings and loan holding company as of May 4, 1999. Since we were treated as a unitary savings and loan holding company prior to that date, we may engage in nonfinancial activities and acquire nonfinancial subsidiaries.
Annual Reporting; Examinations. Under the Home Owners' Loan Act ("HOLA") and OTS regulations, WMI, as a savings and loan holding company, must file periodic reports with the OTS. In addition, WMI must comply with OTS
record keepingrecord-keeping requirements.1417WMI is subject to holding company examination by the OTS. The OTS may take enforcement action if the activities of a savings and loan holding company constitute a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of a subsidiary savings association.
Commonly Controlled Depository
Institutions; Affiliate Transactions.Institutions. Depository institutions are "commonly controlled" if they are controlled by the same holding company or if one depository institution controls another depository institution. WMI controls WMB, WMBFA and WMBfsb. The FDIC has authority to require FDIC-insured banks and savings associations to reimburse the FDIC for losses it incurs in connection either with the default of a "commonly controlled" depository institution or with the FDIC's provision of assistance to such an institution.WMB, WMBFA and WMBfsb, as holding company subsidiaries that are depository institutions, are subject to both qualitative and quantitative limitations on the transactions they conduct with WMI and its other subsidiaries.Capital Adequacy. WMI is not currently subject to any regulatory capital requirements, but each of its subsidiary depository institutions is subject to various capital requirements. See "Regulation and
Supervision-CapitalSupervision- Capital Requirements."The OTS has proposed a regulation which would require savings and loan holding companies to give prior notice to the OTS of certain transactions which could affect capital and which would also set forth the circumstances under which the OTS would, on a case-by-case basis, review a holding company's capital adequacy and, when necessary, require additional capital.Subsidiary Savings Institution Regulation
As federally-chartered savings associations, WMBFA and WMBfsb are subject to regulation and supervision by the OTS. As a state-chartered savings bank, WMB is subject to regulation and supervision by the State Director and the FDIC.
Federal Regulation and Supervision of WMBFA and WMBfsb. Federal statutes empower federal savings institutions, such as WMBFA and WMBfsb, to conduct, subject to various conditions and limitations, business activities that include:
-
- •
- accepting deposits and paying interest on them;
-- •
- making and buying loans on residential and other real estate;
-- •
- making and buying a limited amount of consumer loans;
-- •
- making and buying a limited amount of commercial loans;
-- •
- investing in corporate obligations, government debt securities, and other securities;
-- •
- offering various
trust andbanking services to their customers; and-- •
- owning subsidiaries that invest in real estate and carry on certain other activities, including securities and insurance agency activities.
11
OTS regulations further delineate such institutions' investment and lending powers. Federal savings institutions generally may not invest in noninvestment-grade debt securities, nor may they generally make equity investments, other than investments in service corporations.
State Regulation and Supervision. Washington State statutes empower savings banks, such as WMB, to conduct, subject to various conditions and limitations, business activities that include:
-
- •
- accepting deposits and paying interest on them;
-- •
- making or buying loans on or investing in residential and other real estate;
-- •
- making consumer loans;
-- •
- making commercial loans;
-- •
- investing in corporate obligations, government debt securities, and other securities;
1518 -- •
- offering various
trust andbanking services to their customers; and-- •
- owning subsidiaries that engage in a wide variety of activities.
Under state law, savings banks in Washington also generally have all of the powers that federal mutual savings banks have under federal laws and regulations.
Federal Prohibitions on Exercise of State Bank Powers. Federal law prohibits banks, such as WMB, and their subsidiaries from exercising certain powers that were granted by state law to make investments or carry on activities as principal (i.e., for their own account) unless either (i) national banks have power under federal law to make such investments or carry on such activities, or (ii) the bank and such investments or activities meet certain requirements established by federal law and the FDIC.
Federal Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates.
All banksWMB, WMBFA andsavingsWMBfsb, as holding company subsidiaries that are depository institutions, are subject to both qualitative and quantitative limitations on their transactions with WMI and its other subsidiaries. They are subject to the same affiliate and insider transaction rules applicable to member banks of the Federal Reserve System, as set forth in Sections 23A, 23B, 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act, as well as such additional limitations as the institution's primary federal regulator may adopt. These provisions prohibit or limit a savings institution from extending credit to, or entering into certain transactions with, affiliates, principal stockholders, directors and executive officers of the savings institution and its affiliates. For these purposes, the term "affiliate" generally includes a holding company such as WMI and any company under common control with the savings institution. In addition, the federal law governing unitary savings and loan holding companies flatly prohibits WMB, WMBFA or WMBfsb from making any loan to any affiliate whose activity is not permitted for a subsidiary of a bank holding company. This law also prohibits WMB, WMBFA or WMBfsb from making any equity investment in any affiliate that is not its subsidiary. We currently are in material compliance with all these provisions.Restrictions on Subsidiary Savings Institution Capital Distributions. WMI's principal sources of funds are cash dividends paid to it by its banking and other subsidiaries, investment income, and borrowings. Federal and state law limits the ability of a depository institution, such as WMB, WMBFA or WMBfsb, to pay dividends or make other capital distributions.
Washington state law prohibits WMB from declaring or paying a dividend greater than its retained earnings if doing so would cause its net worth to be reduced below (i) the amount required for the protection of preconversion depositors or (ii) the net worth requirements, if any, imposed by the State Director.
OTS regulations limit the ability of savings associations such as WMBFA and WMBfsb to pay dividends and make other capital distributions.
Associations (such asCertain savings associations, including WMBFA andWMBfsb) that are subsidiaries of a savings and loan holding companyWMBfsb, must filea notice withan application for approval by the OTSat least 30 daysbefore the proposed declaration of a dividend12
or approval of the proposed capital distribution by its board of directors. In addition, a savings association must obtain prior approval from the OTS if it fails to meet certain regulatory conditions, or if, after giving effect to the proposed distribution, the association's capital distributions in a calendar year would exceed its year-to-date net income plus retained net income for the preceding two years or the association would not be at least adequately capitalized or if the distribution would violate a statute, regulation, regulatory agreement or a regulatory condition to which the association is subject.
FDIC Insurance
The FDIC insures the deposits of each of our banking subsidiaries to the applicable maximum in each institution. The FDIC administers two separate deposit insurance funds, the BIF and the SAIF. The BIF is a deposit insurance fund for commercial banks and some state-chartered savings banks. The SAIF is a deposit insurance fund for most savings associations. WMB is a member of the BIF, but a substantial portion of its deposits is insured through the SAIF. WMBFA and WMBfsb are members of the SAIF, but a small portion of WMBFA's deposits is insured through the BIF. WMB and WMBFA are subject to payment of assessments ratably to both funds.
The FDIC has established a risk-based system for setting deposit insurance assessments. Under the risk-based assessment system, an institution's insurance assessments vary according to the level of capital the
1619institution holds and the degree to which it is the subject of supervisory concern. In addition, regardless of the potential risk to the insurance fund, federal law requires the FDIC to establish assessment rates that will maintain each insurance fund's ratio of reserves to insured deposits at $1.25 per $100. Both funds currently meet this reserve ratio. During2000,2001, the assessment rate for both SAIF and BIF deposits ranged from zero to 0.27% of covered deposits. WMB and WMBFA qualified for the lowest rate on their BIF deposits in2000,2001, and WMB, WMBFA and WMBfsb qualified for the lowest rate on their SAIF deposits in2000.2001. Accordingly, none of these institutions paid any deposit insurance assessments in2000.2001. If, in the future, the reserve ratio of either insurance fund falls below required levels, that fund may reinstitute deposit insurance assessments for all institutions, including those not currently subject to deposit insurance assessments.In addition to deposit insurance assessments, the FDIC is authorized to collect assessments against insured deposits to be paid to the Financing Corporation ("FICO") to service FICO debt incurred in the 1980s. The FICO assessment rate is adjusted quarterly.
Before 2000, the FICO assessment rate for SAIF-insured deposits was five times higher than the rate for BIF-insured deposits. The average annual assessment rate in 1999 was 5.925 cents per $100 of SAIF-insured deposits and 1.185 cents per $100 of BIF-insured deposits. Beginning inSince 2000, SAIF- and BIF-insured depositswerehave been assessed at the same rate by FICO. For theyearyears 2000 and 2001, the average annual rate was 2.07 cents and 1.90 cents per $100 of insured deposits.Because we have substantially more SAIF-insured deposits than BIF-insured deposits, this change resulted in an overall reduction of the amount of our FICO assessments.Capital Requirements
Each of our subsidiary depository institutions is subject to various capital requirements. WMB is subject to FDIC capital requirements, while WMBFA and WMBfsb are subject to OTS capital requirements.
WMB. FDIC regulations recognize two types or tiers of capital: core ("Tier 1") capital and supplementary ("Tier 2") capital. Tier 1 capital generally includes common stockholders' equity and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock less most intangible assets. Tier 2 capital, which is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital, includes such items as qualifying general loan loss reserves, cumulative perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible debt, term subordinated debt and limited life preferred stock; however, the amount of term subordinated debt and intermediate term preferred stock that may be included in Tier 2 capital is limited to 50% of Tier 1 capital.
The FDIC uses a combination of risk-based guidelines and leverage ratios to evaluate capital adequacy. Under the risk-based capital guidelines, different categories of assets are assigned different risk weights, based generally on the perceived credit risk of the asset. For example, U.S. Treasury Bills and
GNMAGovernment National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") securities are placed in the 0% risk category,13
FNMA and
FHLMCFederal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") MBS are placed in the 20% risk category, loans secured by SFR propertiesand certain private issue MBSare generally placed in the 50% risk category, and commercial real estate and consumer loans are generally placed in the 100% risk category. These risk weights are multiplied by corresponding asset balances to determine a risk-weighted asset base. Certain off-balance sheet items are added to the risk-weighted asset base by converting them to a balance sheet equivalent and assigning them the appropriate risk weight in one of four categories.Under FDIC guidelines, the ratio of total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.00%, and the ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.00%.
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the FDIC uses a leverage ratio to evaluate a bank's capital adequacy. Most banks are required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio
ofor Tier 1 capital to average assets of 4.00%. The FDIC retains the right to require a particular institution to maintain a higher capital level based on the institution's particular risk profile.The FDIC may consider other factors that may affect a bank's financial condition. These factors may include interest rate risk exposure, liquidity, funding and market risks, the quality and level of earnings, concentration of credit risk, risks arising from nontraditional activities, loan and investment quality, the effectiveness of loan and investment policies, and management's ability to monitor and control financial operating risks.
1720The following table sets forth the current regulatory requirement for capital ratios for FDIC regulated banks as compared with our capital ratios at December 31,
2000:

- The minimum leverage ratio guideline is 3% for financial institutions that do not anticipate significant growth and that have well-diversified risk, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings, effective management and monitoring of market risk and, in general, are considered top-rate, strong banking organizations.
WMBFA and WMBfsb. The OTS requires savings associations, such as WMBFA and WMBfsb, to meet each of three separate regulatory capital
adequacystandards:-
- •
- a core capital leverage requirement,
-- •
- a tangible capital requirement, and
-- •
- a risk-based capital requirement.
For a limited time, core capital may include certain amounts of qualifying supervisory goodwill.
OTS regulations incorporate a risk-based capital requirement that is designed to be no less stringent than the capital standard applicable to national banks. It is modeled in many respects on, but not identical to, the risk-based capital requirements adopted by the FDIC.
Associations whose exposure to interest-rate risk is deemed to be above normal will be required to deduct a portion of such exposure in calculating their risk-based capital.The OTS may establish, on a case-by-case basis, individual minimum capital requirements for a savings association that vary from the requirements that otherwise would apply under the OTS capital regulations. The OTS has not established such individual minimum capital requirements for WMBFA or WMBfsb.14

FDICIAFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") Requirements
FDICIA created a statutory framework that increased the importance of meeting applicable capital requirements. FDICIA established five capital categories:
-
- •
- well-capitalized,
-- •
- adequately capitalized,
-- •
- undercapitalized,
-- •
- significantly undercapitalized, and
-- •
- critically undercapitalized.
1821An institution's category depends upon where its capital levels are in relation to relevant capital measures, which include a risk-based capital measure, a leverage ratio capital measure, a tangible equity ratio measure, and certain other factors. The federal banking agencies (including the FDIC and the OTS) have adopted regulations that implement this statutory framework. Under these regulations, an institution is treated as well-capitalized if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 10.00% or more, its ratio of core capital to risk-weighted assets is 6.00% or more, its leverage ratio is 5.00% or more, and it is not subject to any federal supervisory order or directive to meet a specific capital level. In order to be adequately capitalized, an institution must have a total risk-based capital ratio of not less than 8.00%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of not less than 4.00%, and a leverage ratio of not less than 4.00%. Any institution that is neither well capitalized nor adequately capitalized will be considered undercapitalized. Any institution with a tangible equity ratio of 2.00% or less will be considered critically undercapitalized.
Federal law requires that the federal banking agencies' risk-based capital guidelines take into account various factors including interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk, risks associated with nontraditional activities, and the actual performance and expected risk of loss of multi-family mortgages.
In 1994, theThe federal bankingagencies jointly revised theiragencies' capital standardstospecify that concentration of credit and nontraditional activities are among the factors that the agencies will consider in evaluating capital adequacy.In that year, theThe OTS and FDICamended theirrisk-based capital standardswith respect toinclude provisions for the risk weighting of loans made to finance the purchase or construction of multi-family residences. TheOTS adopted final regulations adding an interest rate risk component to theOTS's risk-based capital requirements for savings associations (such as WMBFA and WMBfsb), although implementationinclude an interest rate risk component. Implementation ofthe regulationthis requirement has beendelayed.delayed, and the OTS has proposed eliminating this interest rate risk component. Management believes that the effect of including such an interest rate risk component in the calculation of risk-adjusted capital will not cause WMBFA or WMBfsb to cease to be well capitalized.In June 1996,A joint policy statement of the FDIC and certain other federal banking agencies (not including the OTS)issued a joint policy statement providingprovides guidance on prudent interest rate risk managementprinciples. Theprinciples, and states that these agenciesstated that they wouldwill evaluate the banks' interest rate risk on a case-by-case basisand would not adoptrather than adopting a standardized measure or establish an explicit minimum capital charge for interest rate risk.15
Other FDIC and OTS Regulations and Examination Authority
The FDIC has adopted regulations to protect the deposit insurance funds and depositors, including regulations governing the deposit insurance of various forms of accounts. The FDIC also has adopted numerous regulations to protect the safety and soundness of FDIC-regulated banks. These regulations cover a wide range of subjects including financial reporting, change in bank control, affiliations with securities firms and capital requirements. In certain instances, these regulations restrict the exercise of powers granted by state law.
An FDIC regulation and a joint FDIC/OTS policy statement place a number of restrictions on the activities of WMB's and WMBFA's securities affiliates and on such affiliates' transactions with WMB, WMBFA and WMBfsb. These restrictions include requirements that such affiliates follow practices and procedures to distinguish them from WMB, WMBFA and WMBfsb and that such affiliates give customers notice from time to time of their separate corporate status and of the distinction between insured deposits and uninsured nondeposit products.
As required by applicable Federal laws, FDIC regulations and OTS regulations impose requirements and restrictions on the operations of WMB, WMBFA and WMBfsb. These regulations include requirements to protect the privacy of consumers' nonpublic financial information and to provide 90 days advance notice of the closure of certain facilities.
FDICIA imposes supervisory standards requiring periodic OTS or FDIC examinations, independent audits, uniform accounting and management standards, and prompt corrective action for problem institutions. As a result of FDICIA, depository institutions and their affiliates are subject to federal standards governing asset growth, interest rate exposure, executive compensation, and many other areas of depository institution operations. FDICIA contains numerous other provisions, including reporting requirements and revised regulatory standards for, among other things, real estate lending.
The FDIC may sanction any FDIC-regulated bank that does not operate in accordance with FDIC regulations, policies and directives. Proceedings may be instituted against any FDIC-regulated bank, or any institution-affiliated party, such as a trustee, director, officer, employee, agent, or controlling person of the bank, who engages in unsafe and unsound practices, including violations of applicable laws and regulations. The FDIC may revalue assets of an institution, based upon appraisals, and may require the establishment of
1922specific reserves in amounts equal to the difference between such revaluation and the book value of the assets. The State Director has similar authority under WashingtonstateState law, and the OTS has similar authority under HOLA. The FDIC has additional authority to terminate insurance of accounts, after notice and hearing, upon a finding that the insured institution is or has engaged in any unsafe or unsound practice that has not been corrected, is operating in an unsafe or unsound condition, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, or order of or condition imposed by the FDIC.Federal law and regulations require that WMBFA and WMBfsb maintain liquid assets in excess of a specified limit. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity."Federal regulation of depository institutions is intended for the protection of depositors (and the BIF and the SAIF), and not for the protection of stockholders or other creditors. In addition, a provision in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
("Budget Act")requires that in any liquidation or other resolution of any FDIC-insured depository institution, claims for administrative expenses of the receiver and for deposits in U.S.branchesfinancial centers (including claims of the FDIC as subrogee of the insured institution) shall have priority over the claims of general unsecured creditors.Federal Reserve and Consumer Regulation
Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, WMB, WMBFA and WMBfsb are each required to maintain a reserve against their transaction accounts (primarily interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing checking accounts). Because reserves must generally be maintained in cash or in noninterest-bearing accounts, the effect of the reserve requirements is to increase an institution's cost of funds. These regulations generally require that WMB, WMBFA and WMBfsb each maintain reserves against net
16
transaction accounts in the amount of 3% on amounts of
$44.3$41.3 million or less, plus 10% on amounts in excess of$44.3$41.3 million. Institutions may designate and exempt$5.0$5.7 million of certain reservable liabilities from these reserve requirements. These amounts and percentages are subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board. A savings bank, like other depository institutions maintaining reservable accounts, may borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, but the Federal Reserve Board's regulations require the savings bank to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.Numerous other regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board affect the business operations of our banking subsidiaries. These include regulations relating to equal credit opportunity, electronic fund transfers, collection of checks, truth in lending, truth in savings and availability of funds.
The GLB Act included provisions which give consumers new protections regarding the transfer and use of their nonpublic personal information by financial institutions. The four banking agencies have issued regulations implementing these provisions of the GLB Act. In addition, states are permitted under the GLB Act to have their own privacy laws which offer greater protection to consumers than the GLB Act. Numerous states in which the Company does business have enacted such laws.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
The FHLB System was created in 1932 and consists of twelve regional FHLBs. The FHLBs are federally chartered but privately owned institutions created by Congress. The Federal Housing Finance Board ("Finance Board") is an agency of the federal government and is generally responsible for regulating the FHLB System. Each FHLB is owned by its member institutions. The primary purpose of the FHLBs is to provide funding to their members for making housing loans as well as for affordable housing and community development lending. FHLBs are generally able to make advances to their member institutions at interest rates that are lower than could otherwise be obtained by such institutions.
Under current rules, an FHLB member is generally required to purchase FHLB stock in an amount equal to at least 5% of the aggregate outstanding advances made by the FHLB to the member. The GLB Act and new regulations adopted by the Finance Board in December 2000 require a new capital structure for the FHLBs. The new capital structure
will containcontains risk-based and leverage capital requirements similar to those currently in place for depository institutions. Each FHLBmust submithas submitted a capital structure plan to the Finance Board,for approval within 270 dayswhich is in the process of reviewing each of thepublicationplans.Other changes in the GLB Act to the FHLB system included a broadening of purposes for which FHLB advances may be used, and a change in the manner of calculating the obligations payable by the FHLBs for the Resolution Funding Corporation ("REFCORP"). Previously, the aggregate amount of the
new regulations.annual REFCORP obligation paid by all FHLBs was $300 million. The GLB Act imposes an annual obligation equal to 20% of the net earnings of the FHLBs. This change will result in a greater obligation in years when FHLBs have high income levels, thereby reducing the return on members' investments. With the broadening in the purpose for which FHLB advances can be used, our borrowing costs may rise as demand for advances increases.Generally, an institution
iseligible to be a memberofmust initially apply for membership in the FHLB for the district where the member's principal place of business is located. WMBFAwhose home office is Stockton, California,currently is a member only of the San FranciscoFHLB;FHLB, because WMBFA's home office is in Stockton, California. WMB, whose head office is in Seattle, is a member of the Seattle FHLB, as is2023WMBfsb, whose home office is in Salt Lake City.Prior to its merger with WMBFA,The Dallas FHLB (of which Bank United was a member prior to merging into WMBFA) and the New York FHLB (of which Dime's depository institution subsidiary, The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB, was a member prior to merging into WMBFA), have requested that theDallas FHLB. UnderFinance Boardregulations, Bank United membership terminated when it merged into WMBFA. The Federal Home Loan Bank Act provides, however, for membership of the FHLB adjoining the district in which an institution is located if membership is demanded by convenience and approved by the Finance Board.allow WMBFAhas appliedtobecomebe a member of those FHLBs without terminating WMBFA's membership in theDallasSan Francisco FHLB.The Dallas FHLBWMBFA hasapproved the application contingent upon the approval ofsupported these requests. On January 22, 2002, the FinanceBoard.Board17
announced that it will not consider any applications by institutions to be members of more than one FHLB until the Finance Board has developed a comprehensive policy solution.
Community Reinvestment Act
The Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") requires financial institutions regulated by the federal financial supervisory agencies to ascertain and help meet the credit needs of
their delineatedthe communities we serve, including low- to moderate-income ("LMI") neighborhoods,within those communities,while maintaining safe and sound banking practices. The regulatory agency assigns one of four possible ratings to an institution's CRA performance and is required to make public an institution's rating and written evaluation. The four possible ratings of meeting community credit needs are outstanding, satisfactory, needs to improve, and substantial noncompliance. In1999,1998, WMBFA and WMBfsb each received an "outstanding" CRA rating from the OTS, and WMB received an "outstanding" CRA rating from theFDIC.FDIC in 1999. These ratings reflect our commitment to meeting the credit needs of the communities we serve.Under regulations that apply to all CRA performance evaluations after July 1, 1997, many factors play a role in assessing a financial institution's CRA performance. The institution's regulator must consider its financial capacity and size, legal impediments, local economic conditions and demographics, including the competitive environment in which it operates. The evaluation does not rely on absolute standards, and the institutions are not required to perform specific activities or to provide specific amounts or types of credit. We maintain a CRA file available for public viewing, as well as an annual CRA highlights document. These documents describe our credit programs and services, community outreach activities, public comments and other efforts to meet community credit needs.
In May 1998, we announced a ten-year $120 billion community commitment to all areas in which we conduct business.
TheAs of December 31, 2001, we had exceeded our targets for lending in LMI neighborhoods and under-served market areas, reaching almost 30% of our ten-year goal in only two years. In September 2001, we announced a new ten-year $375 billion community commitment, effective January 2002. This commitment replaced prior ones made by us and the companies we acquired.The
$120$375 billion commitment targets single-family, small business and consumer, and multi-family lending, and community investment at the following levels:-
- •
- Single-family lending
-- $81.6— $300 billion in affordable housing loans to minorityracial and ethnicborrowers, borrowers inlow- to moderate-income ("LMI")LMI census tracts, and borrowers earning less than 80% of median income. Of this amount,$30$100 billion is specifically targeted to LMI borrowers.- Small- •
- Consumer and small business and
consumerlending-- $25— $48 billion in loans to LMI consumers and small businesses,and LMI consumers,including:-
- •

- Small
businesses,business lending, with an emphasis on loans and lines of credit of $50,000 or less and loans to people of color, women and disabled persons.-
- •
- Multi-family lending
-- $12.1— $25 billion for multi-family structures, including (among others) apartment and manufactured home park developments, in LMI census tracts or serving families earning less than 80% of median income.-- •
- Community investment
-- $1.3— $2 billion in investments and loans for community development. This commitment area includes low-income housing initiatives, tax-exempt housing revenue bonds,minority financial institutionsand community banks and financial institutions targetingminority racial and ethnicmulti-cultural communities or other community needs.18
In addition to these goals and objectives, we made a commitment (along with pledges in other areas, like diversity) to philanthropically support the communities in which we conduct our business. Towards that end
2124we"willwill strive toreturn"return to our neighborhoodsthe greater of2% of our pre-taxearnings or 3% of our after-tax earnings plus 10% of any net recovery from the resolution of Ahmanson's goodwill litigation against the U.S. government.earnings. This corporate support is returned through grants, sponsorships, loans at below market rates, in-kind donations, paid employee volunteer time, and other financial support of our efforts to develop our communities.As of December 31, 2000, we exceeded our 2000 targets for lending in LMI neighborhoods and underserved market areas in the second year of our $120 billion, ten-year commitment in loans and investments.Recent and Proposed Legislation and Regulation
The GLB Act is summarized in "Regulation and Supervision -- General." The new capital structure for FHLBs is summarized in "Regulation and Supervision -- Federal Home Loan Bank System." In February 1999, the OTS proposed a regulation that could affect WMI's treatment as a unitary savings and loan holding company. If a holding company owns more than one savings association, it is a multiple savings and loan holding company ("SLHC"); if it owns only one savings association, it is a unitary SLHC. HOLA generally restricts multiple SLHCs and their non-association subsidiaries to traditional savings association activities and services and to activities permitted bank holding companies. These restrictions do not apply to unitary SLHCs. In addition, these restrictions do not apply to a multiple SLHC if all, or all but one, of its subsidiary savings associations were acquired in transactions involving a sale or transfer from an ailing or failing institution. Such savings associations are sometimes referred to as "supervisory" acquisitions, and a multiple SLHC is sometimes referred to as an "exempt" multiple SLHC if all, or all but one, of its subsidiary associations are supervisory acquisitions. The OTS proposal stated that, under certain circumstances, an exempt multiple SLHC could lose its exempt status if it or one of its supervisory subsidiary associations is involved in a merger. This proposal has been withdrawn by the OTS. The OTS may, however, issue the same or a similar proposal in the future. WMI has had the status of an exempt multiple SLHC because two of its three subsidiary associations -- WMBFA and WMBfsb -- have been deemed supervisory acquisitions. However, both WMBFA and WMBfsb, as well as WMI, have been involved in subsequent merger transactions. Accordingly, it is possible that, if the proposed regulation or a similar regulation were adopted, the OTS could assert that WMI is not an exempt multiple SLHC. If that were to occur, WMI would have to merge its subsidiary associations or discontinue activities, including real estate development activities not permitted to multiple SLHCs. The OTS and other banking regulators proposed revisions to their capital rules concerning the treatment of residual interests in asset securitizations and other transfers of financial assets. Generally, the proposed rule would require that risk-based capital be held in an amount equal to the amount of residual interests retained on an institution's balance sheet and would limit the amount of residual interests that may be included in Tier 1 capital. The OTS has proposed a regulation which would require certain SLHCs to notify the OTS before engaging in or committing to engage in a limited set of debt transactions, transactions that reduce capital, some asset acquisitions, and other transactions. In addition, while the regulation does not propose capital requirements applicable to all SLHCs, the OTS is considering whether to adopt a rule setting forth the circumstances in which it would review, on a case-by-case basis, the capital adequacy of an SLHC and, when necessary, require additional capital.In January 2001, the four federal banking agencies jointly issued expanded examination and supervision guidance relating to subprime lending activities. In the guidance, "subprime" lending generally refers to programs that target borrowers with weakened credit histories or lower repayment capacity. The guidance principally applies to institutions with subprime lending programs with an aggregate credit exposure equal to or greater than 25 percent of an institution's Tier 1 capital. Such institutions would be subject to more stringent risk management standards and, in many cases, additional capital requirements. As a starting point, the guidance generally expects that such an institution would hold capital against subprime portfolios in an
2225amount that is one and one half to three times greater than the amount appropriate for similar types of non-subprime assets.The guidance is primarily directed at insured depository institutions. WMBFA currently holds specialty mortgage finance loans in excess of 25 percent of its Tier 1 capital and could be adversely affected by the application of the guidance. A significant portion of these loans and the consumer finance loans originated by Washington Mutual Finance may be considered subprime loans under the guidance. While WMI, Long Beach Mortgage and Washington Mutual Finance are not currently subject to any specific capital requirements imposed by the federal banking agencies, the OTS does have certain examination authority over WMI in its capacity as
an SLHCa savings and loan holding company and, accordingly, WMI and its nonbanking subsidiaries could also be adversely affected by the guidance. Management is currently analyzing the impact of the guidance on the conduct of its business.In December
2000,2001, the Federal Reserve Board publishedproposedfinal regulationswhich would implementimplementing the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act ("HOEPA"). Compliance with the regulations is mandatory as of October 1, 2002. HOEPA, which was enacted in 1994, imposes additional disclosure requirements and certain substantive limitations on certain mortgage loans with rates or fees above specified levels. Theproposedregulationswouldlower the rate levels that trigger the application of HOEPA andwouldinclude additional fees in the calculation of the fee amount that triggers HOEPA. The loans Washington Mutual currently makes are generally below the rate and fee levels that trigger HOEPA. However,ifas a result of thechanges to the rate levels and the calculation of fee amounts in the proposed regulation are adopted,new regulations, more of the loans we currently offerwouldwill be subject to HOEPA.The OTS adopted as final on July 18, 2001 an interim rule that removed the regulation that required a savings association to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets of at least four percent of its liquidity base, and retained a provision requiring a savings association to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation.
The OTS is soliciting comments on a number of proposed changes to the capital regulations. These changes are designed to eliminate unnecessary capital burdens and to align OTS capital regulations more closely to those of other banking regulators. Under the proposed rule, a one-to-four family residential first mortgage loan may qualify for a 50 percent risk weight if it meets certain criteria, including a loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio below 90 percent. Currently these loans must have an LTV ratio of 80 percent or less to qualify for the 50 percent risk weight. The OTS also proposes to eliminate the requirement that a thrift institution must deduct from total capital that portion of a land loan or a nonresidential construction loan in excess of an 80 percent LTV ratio and eliminate the interest rate risk component of the risk-based capital regulations.
On November 29, 2001 the banking agencies issued a final rule that changed regulatory capital standards to address the treatment of recourse obligations, residual interests and direct credit substitutes
19
that expose banking organizations to credit risk. The final rule treats recourse obligations and direct credit substitutes more consistently than the agencies' prior risk-based capital standards and adds new standards for the treatment of residual interests, including a concentration limit for credit-enhancing interest-only strips. In addition, the agencies allow the use of credit ratings and certain alternative approaches to match the risk-based capital requirement more closely to a banking organization's relative risk of loss for certain positions in asset securitizations. The final rule was effective on January 1, 2002. Any transactions settled on or after January 1, 2002, are subject to this final rule. Banking organizations that entered into transactions before January 1, 2002 were permitted to elect early adoption, as of November 29, 2001, of any provision of the final rule if such adoption resulted in reduced capital requirements. Conversely, banking organizations that entered into transactions before January 1, 2002 that resulted in increased capital requirements under the final rule may delay the application of this rule to those transactions until December 31, 2002. Washington Mutual elected early adoption of the final rule as of December 31, 2001. The overall impact was favorable to our capital position.
On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed into law the USA PATRIOT Act. The Act includes numerous provisions designed to fight international money laundering and to block terrorist access to the U.S. financial system. The provisions generally affecting banking organizations relate to the relationships of such organizations with foreign banks and with individuals and entities who reside or are located outside the United States.

Overview
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented elsewhere in this
Form 10-K. Our net income for 2000 was $1.90 billion, compared with $1.82report.The acquisitions of Bank United and the mortgage operations of PNC added approximately $26 billion in
1999assets during the first quarter of 2001. The acquisition of Fleet Mortgage Corp., a unit of FleetBoston Financial Corp., and$1.49certain other mortgage lending operations of Fleet National Bank (collectively, "Fleet") added approximately $8 billion in1998. We had diluted earnings per shareassets during the second quarter of$3.542001. These acquisitions contributed significantly to the growth in2000, $3.16 in 1999our mortgage banking business, and$2.56 in 1998. During 2000, one of management's goals was to decrease the proportion of SFR loans on our balance sheet by selling SFR loans and MBS. We continued our policy of selling substantially all of our fixed-rate SFR originations and the specialty mortgage finance loans originated by our subsidiary, Long Beach Mortgage. We also began to sell ARM loans in the secondary market. In order to achieve optimum pricing, current ARM production that is not held in the loan portfolio is either sold to investors shortly following origination or securitized and retained in the available-for-sale securities portfolio for a period of time, and then sold. As a result of this initiative, we sold $18.07 billion of adjustable-rate loans during 2000. This strategy of selling current ARM production or securitizing and retaining as securities for sale at a later timeaccordingly, resulted inan increasesignificant increases in our MSR and loan servicing portfolios. Largely due to these acquisitions, the balance ofloans held for sale to $3.40MSR increased from $1.02 billion at December 31, 2000 to $6.24 billion at December 31, 2001 and the loan servicing portfolio with MSR increased from$794$79.34 billion at December 31, 2000 to $378.38 billion at December 31, 2001.Variances in the amounts reported on the Statements of Income between 2001 and prior years are partially attributable to the results from the aforementioned acquisitions, which are referred to hereafter as the "Acquired Companies." These acquisitions were accounted for as purchase transactions. Consequently, the results of those operations are included prospectively from the date of acquisition.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141,Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS No. 142 became effective January 1, 2002 and eliminates the amortization of goodwill relating to past and future acquisitions (except that goodwill related to business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and consummated before January 1, 2002 was not required to be amortized). Instead, goodwill is subject to an impairment assessment that must be performed upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and at least annually thereafter.
The impairment assessment in connection with the initial adoption of SFAS No. 142 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. For acquisitions initiated prior to July 1, 2001, pretax goodwill amortization of approximately $110 million
at year-end 1999. Growing noninterest incomewill no longer be expensed. Certain other identifiable intangible assets will continue to be amortized.In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses the accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible, long-lived assets. The Statement is effective January 1, 2003 and is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Statement supercedes SFAS No. 121,Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, but retains the requirements relating to recognition and measurement of an
important partimpairment loss and resolves certain implementation issues resulting from SFAS No. 121. The Statement became effective January 1, 2002 and is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.26
Critical Accounting Policies
Various elements of our
strategyaccounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject toreduceestimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, we have identified three policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of ourexposurefinancial statements. These policies relate to the valuation of our MSR, the methodology for the determination of our allowance for loan and lease losses and the valuation of derivatives under SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. These policies and the judgments, estimates and assumptions are described in greater detail in subsequent sections of Management's Discussion and Analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included herein. In particular, Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" describes generally our accounting policies and Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – "Mortgage Banking Activities" provides details of the assumptions used in valuing our MSR and the effect of changes to certain of those assumptions. We believe that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used ininterest rates. During 2000, noninterest income represented 32%the preparation oftotal revenue (netour Consolidated Financial Statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of our Consolidated Financial Statements to these critical accounting policies, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations or financial condition.Earnings Performance
Net Interest Income
Net interest income
and noninterest income), compared with 25% for 1999. Weincreasedthe amount of noninterest income relative to$2.57 billion, or 59% in 2001 from 2000. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a significant improvement in the net interest margin. The net interest margin was 3.32% for 2001, compared with 2.38% for 2000. The increase in the margin was primarily due to significantly lower wholesale borrowing rates during 2001, as compared with 2000. Since our wholesale borrowing rates are closely correlated with interest rate policy changes made byproducing gains on salesthe Federal Reserve and reprice more quickly to current market rates than our interest-earning assets, the margin benefited from the Federal Reserve's 475 basis point reduction in the Federal Funds rate, which declined from 6.50% in December 2000 to 1.75% in December 2001. The increase in deposits (a cost-effective funding source for asset growth), coupled with lower rates, also benefited the margin in 2001. An increase in average interest-earning assets, primarily resulting from the addition ofloansthe Bank United loan portfolio andincreasing our loan servicingthe mortgage banking operations of the Acquired Companies, also contributed to the growth in net interest income.Net interest income
as well as increasing depositor and other retail banking fees. We also expanded our capability to generate loans. Total loan volume increased by $7.07 billion from 1999 to 2000. To further mitigate our exposure to adverse changesdecreased $141 million, or 3% ininterest rates, we increased our originations of non-SFR loans to 29% of total originations during2000 compared with22% for the prior year. We also purchased specialty mortgage finance and commercial loans to further diversify our balance sheet. These loans have the benefit of yielding wider margins, compared with our traditional home mortgage products. These specialty mortgage finance and commercial loans also have more predictable and stable prepayment rates. The characteristics of these portfolios should mitigate our exposure to margin compression during periods of rising interest rates. As this strategy also increases our credit risk, management closely monitors the performance of these loans. Starting in 1998 and continuing in 1999, we purchased shorter duration investment grade MBS in the secondary market. The MBS had acceptable, but lower returns than loans originated by us and held in our portfolio. After reviewing first quarter 1999 results, management re-evaluated our capital deployment strategy. In April 1999, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program and MBS purchases were curtailed. From the second quarter of 1999 through June 30, 2000, we purchased a total of 66.3 million shares as part of our previously announced repurchase programs totaling 111.3 million shares. We have not 2932 repurchased any of our common stock since the second quarter of 2000. Management instead focused on internal growth and acquisitions as a means of deploying capital. On January 31, 2001, we acquired the mortgage operations of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The principal subsidiaries acquired in that transaction were renamed Washington Mutual Home Loans, Inc. ("WMHLI") and Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. ("WMMSC"). The acquisition further diversifies our mortgage operations geographically and expands our loan origination, servicing and securitization capacity. At January 31, 2001, WMHLI and WMMSC had total assets of approximately $7 billion. On February 9, 2001, we acquired Bank United Corp. This acquisition enhances our existing plans to grow our commercial business and expands our ability to originate FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed loans. At February 9, 2001, Bank United Corp. had total assets of approximately $18 billion. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Interest Income Net interest income was $4.31 billion for 2000, compared with $4.45 billion in 1999 and $4.29 billion in 1998.1999. The decline in net interest income for 2000 was primarily due to the decrease in the net interestspread andmargin, partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets. The net interestspread andmarginwere 2.25% andwas 2.38% for 2000, compared with2.48% and2.63% for 1999. Thenet interest spread and margin were 2.70% and 2.88% for 1998. The compressiondecrease in thenet interest spread andmarginwas primarilyoccurred dueto the fact that our liabilities reprice to market rates more quickly than our assets. This compression was in responseto the rising interest rate environment that existed during the first half of2000, evidenced by an increase in the average three-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") from 6.14% in the fourth quarter of 1999 to 6.70% in the third quarter of 2000, and by a 100 basis point increase in the federal funds rate from 5.50% in2000. From November 1999 to6.50% inMay2000. Accordingly,2000, thecost of our interest-bearing liabilitiesFederal Funds rate increased71100 basis points to5.37% for 2000 from 4.66% for 1999. This increase was primarily due to a 91 basis point increase in the cost of our borrowings from 5.52% in 1999 to 6.43% in 2000. The increased usage of wholesale borrowings (our primary funding source for asset growth) also contributed to the higher borrowing expense. The cost of our interest-bearing liabilities and cost of borrowings were 4.83% and 5.85% for 1998. Interest rates stabilized during the latter half of 2000,6.50%, which causedan improvement in the net interest margin during the fourth quarter. The net interest spread and margin rose to 2.29% and 2.42% for the fourth quarter, compared with 2.19% and 2.31% for the third quarter. Reflecting this lower interest rate environment, adjustable-rate SFR loan originations were 76% of total SFR originations for the fourth quarter of 2000, as compared with an average of 88% over the prior three quarters. The overall yield on our interest-earning assets increased 48 basis points during 2000, driven primarily by a 57 basis point increase in the yield on our loans to 7.97%, compared with 7.40% for 1999. The rise in the yield on our loan portfolio was the result of adjustments to variable-rate loans tied to treasury-based indices and COFI. For the same reasons, there was a 36 basis point increase in the yield on our other interest-earning assets to 6.97% for 2000, compared with 6.61% for 1999. For 1998, the overall yield on our interest-earning assets was 7.53%, which was primarily attributable to the 7.73% yield on our loan portfolio. With the reduction in the federal funds rate to 5.50% in January 2001, coupled with the "snap back" effect on our ARM portfolio from the rate increases during the first half of 2000, we anticipate an improvement in the net interest margin during 2001. If interest rates remain stable or decline further, then the net interest margin could expand even further. If further rate reductions do occur, we may adopt the strategy of extending the maturity range ofour wholesaleborrowings and increasing our holdingsborrowing costs to increase accordingly.Interest income included hedging-related expense from stand alone derivatives of
interest rate cap contracts$7 million in 2001. Interest expense in 2001 included net hedging-related income from derivatives embeddedwithin these liabilities.

SFR Mortgage Banking Income
The increase in SFR loan servicing fees for 2001, as compared with 2000, was substantially the result of the addition of the loan servicing portfolios of the Acquired Companies. The acquisitions also resulted in a substantial increase in MSR, which grew from $1.02 billion at December 31, 2000 to $6.24 billion at December 31, 2001. The Acquired Companies added $4.82 billion to our MSR portfolio at the time of the acquisitions. Our loan servicing portfolio with MSR increased by $299.04 billion to $378.38 billion at December 31, 2001. Of this increase, $255.43 billion was attributable to the Acquired Companies.
Total servicing portfolio by type, excluding retained MBS without MSR and owned loans, was as follows:

MSR impairment was $1.75 billion in 2001 and MSR amortization was $1.01 billion in 2001, representing increases of $1.74 billion and $873 million, respectively, from 2000 primarily as a result of the growth in MSR and higher actual prepayment volumes and anticipated prepayment rates during 2001. Long-term mortgage interest rates declined and remained low during much of the year resulting in high levels of refinancing activity that in turn led to higher actual prepayment volumes and anticipated prepayment rates within our mortgage servicing portfolio.
The value of our MSR asset is subject to prepayment risk. Future expected net cash flows from servicing a loan in our servicing portfolio will not be realized if the loan pays off earlier than we anticipate. Moreover, since most loans within our servicing portfolio do not contain penalty provisions for early payoff, we will not receive a corresponding economic benefit if the loan pays off earlier than expected. MSR are the discounted present value of the future net cash flows we expect to receive from our servicing portfolio. Accordingly, prepayment risk subjects our MSR to impairment.
In measuring impairment of MSR, we stratify the loans in our servicing portfolio based on loan type, coupon rate and other predetermined characteristics. We measure MSR impairment by estimating the fair value of each stratum. An impairment allowance for a stratum is recorded when, and in the amount by which, its fair value is less than its carrying value. We estimate fair value using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model, independent third-party appraisals and management's analysis of observable data to formulate conclusions about anticipated changes in future market conditions, including interest rates. The DCF model estimates the present value of the future net cash flows of the servicing portfolio based on various factors, such as servicing costs, expected prepayment speeds and discount rates, about which management must make assumptions based on future expectations. The reasonableness of management's assumptions about these factors is confirmed through independent broker surveys. Independent appraisals of the fair value of our servicing portfolio are obtained periodically, but not less frequently than annually, and are used by management to evaluate the reasonableness of the value conclusions.
Our methodology for estimating the fair value of MSR is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. For example, our determination of fair value uses anticipated prepayment speeds. Actual prepayment experience may differ and any difference may have a material effect on our risk. Thus, any measurement of MSR fair value is limited by the conditions existing and assumptions made as of a particular point in time. Those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied to a different point in time. Refer to "Market Risk Management" for discussion of how MSR prepayment risk is managed and to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion of how MSR impairment is measured. For a quantitative analysis of key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of MSR, and a sensitivity analysis based on changes to those assumptions, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – "Mortgage Banking Activities."
Although low mortgage interest rates caused prepayment levels to rise, they also allowed us to generate strong levels of salable fixed-rate loan volume. This resulted in a gain from mortgage loans of $963 million during 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, on January 1, 2001 had the effect of accelerating gains from mortgage loans by $217 million during the year. The increase in gain from mortgage loans in 2000, as compared with 1999, was largely the result of the sale of $12.90 billion of loans previously held in portfolio.
We recorded a gain from other securities of $744 million in 2001. Of this gain, $643 million represented sales of fixed-rate U.S. Government agency and treasury bonds. Since these fixed-rate securities generally benefit from declining interest rates, they were sold to partially offset MSR impairment. To further offset the impairment, we liquidated certain repurchase agreements with embedded interest rate floors, which resulted in a pretax gain, accounted for on a net-of-tax basis as an extraordinary item under current accounting rules, of $621 million.
The FASB is nearing the completion of a statement that would eliminate the requirement that all forms of gains or losses on debt extinguishments, such as the liquidation of repurchase agreements, be
31
reported as extraordinary items. The early termination of repurchase agreements constitutes a normal part of our asset and liability management strategy. Upon adoption of that statement, gains or losses on debt extinguishments that are considered to be part of our normal business operations would be allowed to be reported as a component of noninterest income or noninterest expense for all financial statement periods presented.
All Other Noninterest Income Analysis
The increase in depositor and other retail banking fees
of $976 million for 2000 increased 28% from $764 million for 1999during 2001 and72% from $569 million for 1998. The increase in2000 wasprimarilypredominantly due to higher collections ofnonsufficient funds and other fees on existing checking accounts from higher customer usage and fee increases. The increase from 1998 to 1999 was primarily due to collecting more debit card, ATM,nonsufficient funds and other fees that resulted from an increased number of checking accounts. The number of checking accounts increased by more than one million during 2001 to approximately 6 million accounts and over 500,000 during 2000 to4.8approximately 5 millionaccountsaccounts.The decrease in securities fees and commissions from 2001 compared with 2000 was due to lower sales of investment products, including variable annuities, largely the result of continued investor uncertainty regarding the stock market. Offsetting this decline was a significant increase in fees from the sale of fixed annuities. In addition, this decline was also offset by an $11 million increase in asset management fees. Funds under management totaled $11.58 billion at December 31, 2001, up from $9.70 billion at December 31, 2000 and
over 400,000 during 1999 to 4.3 million accounts$8.32 billion at December 31, 1999.Securities fees and commissions increased to $318 million for 2000 from $271 million in 1999 and $192 million in 1998. During 2000, weWe earned more investment management fees in 2000, as compared with 1999, due to the growth in assets under management in the WM Group ofFunds. Assets under management grewFunds, and recognized higher commission income from$7.42 billion at December 31, 1999 to $8.21 billion at December 31, 2000. Higherincreased volume of securitiestransactions in 2000 also contributed to the increase in fee income. Loan servicingtransactions.Insurance income increased
to $147 million in 2000, compared with $112 million in 1999 and $117 million in 1998. The increase wasduring 2001 primarily due to growth inloans serviced for others as a result of loan sales and securitizations. The impact of this portfolio growth was partially offset by an increase in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") primarily resulting from the larger servicing portfolio. Weour captive reinsurance programs. Acquisitions alsoincurred an MSR impairment of $9 million during the fourth quarter of 2000 duecontributed to an increase inprepayment estimates as a resultrevenues in optional insurance and property and casualty insurance products.A large portion of
falling long-term interest rates. The weighted average servicing fee was approximately 43 basis points during 2000 and 39 basis points during 1999. Loanthe growth in portfolio loan related income during 2001 was$117 million in 2000, up from $103 million in 1999 and $111 million in 1998. This income is comprised of late charges, prepayment fees, reconveyance fees, and other miscellaneous fees. The increase in income from 1999due to2000 resulted fromincreasedvolume oflate charges on the loan portfolio and higher loan prepayment feesonas a result of the higher level of refinancing activity within our loan portfolio. The increase from 1999 to 2000 resulted from higher levels of late charges and higher prepayment fees, primarily due to the growth of the purchased specialty mortgage financeportfolio asportfolio.The increase in other income during 2001 included an increase of $37 million from our bank-owned life insurance program, which was initially funded in the
resultsecond quarter ofincreased refinancing activity. The decrease in income from 1998 to 1999 was due to2000. In addition, therise in interest rates, which causedincrease includes adecline in loan prepayments and the related prepayment fees. Late charges also decreased as a result of a downward trend in delinquencies. Gain on sale of loans increased to $262$34 millionfor 2000, compared with $109 million in 1999 and $133 million in 1998. Thenet gainfor 2000 was attributable to the sale of fixed- and adjustable-rate loans, which included $12.90 billion of seasoned loans and $8.71 billion of current loan production. Additionally, we sold $3.74 billion of loans originated by Long Beach Mortgage. The gains for 1999 and 1998 resulted from sales of $8.96 billion and $18.24 billion of current loan production, which were comprised of fixed-rate loans. Sales of loans originated by Long Beach Mortgage contributed $23 million towards the 1999 gains. 3336 Losses from securities were $1 million during 2000, compared with $12 million during 1999 and $30 million during 1998. During the first half of 2000, we incurred net losses on MBS sales. The proceeds from these sales were used to repurchase our common stock. These sales also reduced our interest rate sensitivity. Substantially offsetting these losses were $9 million in gainsfrom the sale ofARM loan originations13 financial centers and a gain of $32 million on Concord EFS, Inc. ("Concord") stock. We donated the Concord stock to the Washington Mutual Foundation; therefore, there is a similar increase in2000 that were securitized and held in the available-for-sale securities portfolio for a period of time prior to being sold, as well as $9 million in gains from the sale of securities that were purchased as hedges against our MSR portfolio."other expense."32

$1.35 billion,the addition of the Acquired Companies and the hiring of additional staff to support our expanding operations. Full-time equivalent employees ("FTE") were 39,465 at December 31, 2001, compared with$1.19 billion for both 199928,798 at December 31, 2000 and1998.28,509 at December 31, 1999. During the first quarter of 2002, the acquisition of Dime added approximately 6,900 FTE. We therefore expect employee base compensation and benefits expense to increase in 2002.The increase in occupancy and equipment expense in 2001 resulted primarily from rent, maintenance, and depreciation expense on newly leased or acquired properties, including those of the Acquired Companies. The increase during 2000 was mostly due to computer equipment upgrades.
A significant portion of the increase
was due to increased commission expense resulting from the higher volume of loan originations and securities transactions. Other significant factors were increasesinbase compensation expense and higher premiums on employee medical and dental insurance. Also contributing to the increase was the acquisition of Long Beach Mortgage in October 1999, which was not included in our results prior to its acquisition. Full-time equivalent employees ("FTE") were 28,798 at December 31, 2000, compared with 28,509 at December 31, 1999 and 27,957 at December 31, 1998. Occupancy and equipment expense was $604 million in 2000, compared with $565 million for 1999 and $498 million for 1998. The increase during 2000 was primarily due to higher rent and depreciation expense that resulted from additional building leases and the leasehold improvements thereon, and computer equipment upgrades. Similar computer system upgrades caused an increase in equipment expense during 1999, partially offset by occupancy expense reductions from the closure of 162 consumer financial centers in California as a result of the merger with Ahmanson. Telecommunicationstelecommunications and outsourced information services expense during 2001 was$323 millionattributable to higher rates, effective at the beginning of the year, with a third party service provider. Additionally, the Company added 194 financial centers as a result of acquisitions and the opening of Occasio financial centers in2000, compared with $276 million in 1999 and $256 million in 1998.new markets, which also contributed to higher telecommunications expense. In 2000, the majority of the increase reflected higher use ofservices resulting from additional locations, higher levels of customer support, and increased use ofoutsourced data processing. During2000,2002, theopeningCompany plans to open approximately 120 additional financial centers. We anticipate that this will result in higher telecommunication and outsourced information services expense in 2002.The increase in professional fees in 2001 was predominantly the result of
26 financial centers in new markets, in conjunction with project Occasio(TM)higher consulting and other professional service fees from various technology projects as well as the development ofOptis(TM), also contributedour website, a new loan origination platform and new products. In 2000, the increase was attributable tohigher telecommunications expense. We completed the integration of Ahmansonvarious consulting projects designed to streamline our processes and procedures as well as to develop and deliver new products.The increase in

As a result, there were no transaction-related expenses incurred in 2000. 3437 Advertisingadvertising and promotion expenseincreased to $132 million in 2000 from $111 million in 1999during 2001 and$114 million in 1998. The increase during2000 was primarily due to additional costs associated with campaigns for various loan and depositproducts. In 1998, we incurred additionalproducts and our expansion into new markets.33
Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets increased in 2001 primarily due to the Acquired Companies. Upon adopting SFAS No. 142 at January 1, 2002, goodwill amortization was eliminated.
The increase in depositor and other retail banking losses in 2001 was primarily the result of growth in new checking accounts and an increase in the number of ATMs.
The increase in loan expense in 2001 and 2000 was mostly due to higher closing costs associated with
campaigns designedincreased loan originations, as a result of increased refinancing activity and the acquisition of the Acquired Companies.The increase in other expense in 2001 was primarily due to
introduce productsincreases in contributions to theCalifornia market. Professional feesWashington Mutual Foundation, provision for2000 were $101 million, compared with $70 million in 1999losses on delinquent FHA and$61 million in 1998. The 2000 increase was attributable to various consulting projects designed to streamline our processes and procedures, and to develop and deliver new products. Regulatory assessments were $31 million in 2000, compared with $59 million in 1999 and $63 million in 1998. The overall assessment rate for Savings Association Insurance Fund deposits was significantly reduced in the first quarter of 2000, which caused a corresponding decrease in regulatory assessments. See "Business -- Regulation and Supervision -- FDIC Insurance." Other expense increased to $185 million in 2000VA loans repurchased from$166 million in 1999. The increase of $19 million during 2000 was mainly comprised of increases in loan expenses, contributions,GNMA, and other outsideservices.services expense. Thehigher loan expenses in 2000 were attributable to an overall increase in loan originations and purchases. Themajor portion of the decrease from19981999 to19992000 was due to1998 expenses associated withthedonationelimination ofland for open space to support further development of property owned by Ahmanson as a real estate investment. Taxation Income taxes include federal and applicable state income taxes and payments in lieu of taxes. The provision for income taxes was $1.09 billion for 2000, which represented an effective tax rate of 36.37%. In connection with the Keystone Transaction, we acquired ASB. ASB was formed to effect the December 1988 acquisition (the "1988 Acquisition") of certain assets and liabilities of the failed savings and loan association subsidiaryFDIC insurance premiums on customer deposits.Review of Financial
Corporation of America. In connection with the 1988 Acquisition, the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") entered into a closing agreement (the "Closing Agreement") with respect to the federal income tax consequences of the 1988 Acquisition and certain aspects of the taxation of Keystone Holdings and certain of its affiliates. The Closing Agreement contains provisions that were intended to ensure that losses generated by New West Federal Savings and Loan Association would be available to offset income of ASB for federal income tax purposes. In connection with the 1988 Acquisition, Keystone Holdings and certain of its affiliates entered into a number of continuing agreements with the predecessor to the FDIC, including an Assistance Agreement.

the retention of loans originated by us, either as loans or$56.78 billion at December 31, 2000. This decrease was principally related to high prepayment activity and sales insecuritized form, and the purchase of whole loans. In particular, loans held for sale and loans held in portfolio2001. Other investment securities increasedby $2.61$27.83 billionand $5.88 billion. Securities.

The decrease was primarilydue toprincipal paydownsthe purchase of U.S. Government agency andsales of MBS that had been purchased in 1998 andtreasury bonds. Refer to Note 3 to thefirst half of 1999, partially offsetConsolidated Financial Statements – "Securities" for additional information on securities, classified bythe retention of MBS that were created from loan securitizations. In 2001, we expect to increase our purchases of other investment securities, such as government bonds. These bonds have fixed-maturities, are non-callable and non-prepayable and are expected to serve as economic hedges of mortgage servicing rights, which are subject to prepayment risk in a declining interest rate environment. At December 31, 2000, we held $21.99 billion of private issue MBS and CMOs. Of this total, 73% were rated the highest investment grade (AAA), 3% were rated investment grade (AA through BBB), 1% were rated below investment grade and 23% were unrated. 3538 At December 31, 2000, 60% of MBS were adjustable rate.

and developed a market to sell ARM loans, in addition to our ongoing policy of selling fixed-rate loans. This was done as part of our strategy to remix the balance sheet and to become less reliant on net interest income by increasing gain on sale of loans and loan servicing income. Our current strategy is to hold newly originated monthly adjustable-rate loans during periods of high prepayment activity and sell a sufficient amount during periods of low prepayment activity to stabilize balance sheet growth over time. This strategy of selling current ARM production or securitizing and retaining as securities for sale at a later time resulted in an increase in the balance of loans held for sale to $3.40 billion at December 31, 2000, from $794 million at year-end 1999.

The acquisitions of Bank United Corp. and the mortgage operations of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. adds about $2 billion of MSR to our balance sheet. Deposits. Deposits declined slightly to$79.57 billion at December 31,2000 from $81.132000. As a result of the acquisition of Bank United, we added $7.70 billion in retail deposits for the year. At December 31, 2001, total deposits included $12.79 billion in custodial/escrow deposits related to loan servicing activities, compared with $1.32 billion at December 31,1999. Our goal2000. Escrow deposits increased in 2001 due to our expanded mortgage banking operations. Time deposit accounts increased by $2.54 billion from year-end 2000 substantially due to the commencement in July 2001 of our Institutional Certificate of Deposit program, which totaled $2.38 billion at December 31, 2001. This program, with an authorized size of $15 billion, offers fixed or floating rate certificates of deposit to institutional investors.

These three products generally have the benefit ofinterest-free funding orlower interest costs, compared with time deposit accounts. The increase in deposits and the continuing migration towards transaction deposits have benefited our cost of funds and net interest margin. Even thoughtransaction accountsthese deposits are more liquid, we consider them to beathe core relationship with ourcustomers. In the aggregate, we view these core accounts to becustomers, as they provide a more stable source of long-term funding than time deposits.

We consider wholesale deposits to be an alternative borrowing source rather than a customer relationship, and as such, their levels are determined by management's decision as to the most economic funding sources.Borrowings. Our borrowings
primarilymostly take the form of repurchase agreements and advances from theFHLBsFederal Home Loan Banks of Seattle, San Francisco andSan Francisco.Dallas. The exact mix at any given time is dependent upon the market pricing of the individual borrowing sources.Our wholesale

Refer to "Liquidity" for further discussion of these funding sources.Asset Quality
Nonaccrual Loans, Foreclosed Assets and Restructured Loans.
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they are four payments or more past due or when the timely collection of the principal or interest, in whole or in part, is not expected. Management's classification of a loan as nonaccrual or restructured does not necessarily indicate that the principal of the loan is uncollectible in whole or in part.
Nonaccrual loans and foreclosed assets ("nonperforming assets") and restructured loans consisted of the following:

Nonaccrual loans increased to $2.15 billion at December 31,
1999.2001 from $866 million at December 31, 2000. Of the increase in nonaccrual loans during the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately $634 million was attributable to loans originated by the Acquired Companies. These loans are concentrated in the SFR, commercial business and commercial real estate loan categories.SFR loans (excluding specialty mortgage finance) on nonaccrual status increased by $532 million during the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase is attributable to loans originated by the Acquired Companies' lending channels, loans repurchased from investors in conjunction with our expanded mortgage banking operations (which includes loans originated through correspondent channels) and internal portfolio activity.
The SFR portfolio consists of loans within all regions of the country and has been impacted by the national economic decline. During the year, general economic conditions have deteriorated as evidenced by the increase in the national unemployment rate from 4.0% at December 31, 2000 to 5.8% at December 31, 2001.
Management anticipates that SFR nonaccrual loans will continue to increase in light of softening economic conditions and has taken steps to minimize our exposure through enhanced default management processes. Additionally, we have taken steps to reduce risk through the implementation of more stringent credit standards for new transactions, including the adoption of lower limits on loan-to-value ratios, particularly in markets that have recently experienced significant price appreciation or reflect a high probability of price depreciation. Revised policy limits relating to refinancing transactions have also been adopted. As of December 31, 2001, approximately 6% of the nonaccrual portfolio has a current loan-to-value ratio above 80% for which no private mortgage insurance coverage exists.
The increase in specialty mortgage finance loans on nonaccrual status is attributable to the continued growth and seasoning of loans within this category. Increased nonaccrual amounts are likely as portfolio growth continues and existing loans season.
In the commercial real estate portfolio, approximately $236 million of the Company's healthcare loans have been placed on nonaccrual status. While the majority of these loans continues to meet contractual payment performance requirements, concerns over the future timely collection of principal and interest supported their transfer to nonaccrual status. These loans are secured by healthcare properties located throughout the United States. We have taken steps to reduce our exposure in this lending activity and have assigned the responsibility for these relationships to our Asset Management Group, which specializes in the management of complex and/or troubled credits.
In the commercial business portfolio, we continue to closely monitor small business loans originated by Bank United. These consist primarily of Small Business Administration loans and have experienced significant increases in
fundingnonaccrual loans. As of December 31, 2001, this portfolio totaled $493 million, of which nonaccrual loans wereused primarily$61 million. We continue tosupport asset growth. Certain portionsclosely monitor loans in the nationally syndicated loan portfolio, including shared national credits. We have placed our $53 million interest in seven of these loans on nonaccrual status as of therepurchase agreementsyear end, andadvancesadditional nonaccrual loans in this category are likely.Our portfolio of multi-family loans, which comprise 78% of our commercial real estate loan portfolio at December 31, 2001, continues to perform well. At December 31, 2001, nonaccrual loans in this category represented 0.36% of total multi-family loans. Two loans totaling $34 million that were originated by Bank United comprise approximately 60% of the December 31, 2001 nonaccrual total.
Commercial and commercial real estate loans originated by Bank United that are eligible for credit renewals are subjected to our standards for commercial lending activities, which are typically more restrictive than those previously used by Bank United. In addition, we are limiting the volume of new loan originations and reducing portfolio expenses made to borrowers in higher risk categories, whenever possible.
The increase in foreclosed assets since December 31, 2000 includes $38 million of inventory from

As a result of the increase in nonaccrual loans during the year ended December 31, 2001, the ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to
Consolidated Financial Statements -- Note 9: Repurchase Agreementsnonaccrual loans declined to 65% at December 31, 2001 from 117% at December 31, 2000. This ratio is subject to significant fluctuations from year to year due to such factors as the mix of loan types in the portfolio, the economic prospects of our borrowers and,Note 10: Advancesin the case of secured loans, the value and marketability of collateral. The methodologies we use to determine the allowance for loan and lease losses are discussed below.If interest on nonaccrual loans under the original terms had been recognized, such income would have been $187 million in 2001, $83 million in 2000 and $67 million in 1999.

At December 31, 2001, nonaccrual loans in California accounted for 22% of total nonaccrual loans, down from
FHLBs." PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES35% in 2000. Due to the concentration of our loans in California, the California real estate market requires continual review. In general, California real estate values increased during 1999, 2000 and 2001. However, economic performance within California may vary significantly among property types or by region.
Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
Due to economic trends, growth in the commercial and specialty mortgage finance loan portfolios and nonaccrual loans, we increased the provision for loan and lease losses to $575 million during 2001, while incurring $305 million in net charge offs for the year. As a result of the slowing economy and resulting portfolio weaknesses, we anticipate that the provision may continue to exceed net charge offs in coming quarters. As a percentage of average loans, net charge offs were 0.21% for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared with 0.15% for the year ended December 31, 2000.
The allowance for loan and lease losses represents management's estimate of credit losses inherent in our loan and lease
portfolios.portfolios as of the balance sheet date. Management performsperiodicregular reviewsof the portfoliosin order to identify these inherent losses, and to assess the overall collection probabilityof collection offor these portfolios.TheThis processby whichprovides an allowance that consists of two components: allocated and unallocated. To arrive at the allocated component, we combine estimates of the allowanceis determined encompassesneeded for loans that are evaluated collectively, such as single family residential and specialty mortgage finance, and loans that are analyzed individually, such as commercial business and commercial real estate.The determination of the allocated component for loans that are evaluated collectively involves the monitoring of delinquency, default, and loss rates (among other factors that determine portfolio risk) and an assessment of current economic conditions, particularly in geographic areas where we have significant concentrations. Loss factors are based on the analysis of the historical performance of each loan category and an assessment of
current economic andportfolio trends and conditions, as well as specific risk factors impacting the loan and lease portfolios.We monitor delinquency, default,These factors are then applied to the collective total of the loan balances andloss rates, among other factors impacting portfolio risk. In addition, non-homogeneous type loans, such ascommitments.Loans within the commercial business,
andcommercial real estateloans,and builder single family residential construction categories are reviewed on an individualloanbasisin order to identify impairment,andforloss factors are applied based on the risk ratingpurposes.assigned to the loan. A specific allowance, which is part of the allocated component, may be assigned on these loan types if they have been individually determined to be impaired. Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due as scheduled, including contractual interest payments. For loans that are determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment is measured by a discounted cash flow analysis, using the loan's effective interest rate, except when it is determined that the only source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the underlying collateral. In such cases, the current fair value of the collateral, reduced by estimated disposal costs, will be used in place of discounted cash flows. In estimating the fair value of collateral, we evaluate various factors, such as occupancy and rental rates in our real estate markets and the level of obsolescence that may exist on assets acquired from commercial business loans.In estimating the amount of credit losses inherent in our loan and lease portfolios, various judgments and assumptions are made. For example, when assessing the condition of the overall economic environment, assumptions are made regarding future market conditions and their impact on the loan and lease portfolio. In the event the national economy were to sustain a prolonged downturn, the loss factors applied to our portfolios may need to be revised, which may significantly impact the measurement of the allowance for loan and lease losses. For impaired loans that are collateral-dependent, the estimated fair value of the collateral may deviate significantly from the proceeds received when the collateral is sold. To mitigate the imprecision inherent in most estimates of expected credit losses, the allocated component of the allowance is supplemented by an unallocated component. The unallocated component reflects our judgmental assessment of the impact that various factors have on the overall measurement of credit losses.

These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Company, credit quality and collateral value trends, loan concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle, regulatory examination results and findings of the Company's internal credit review function. As of December 31,
2000, 76%2001, 74% of the allowance for loan and lease losses was allocated to individual loans or loan categories, although the entire allowance was availableforto absorb charge offs across the entire loan and lease portfolio.3841Although we consider the allowance for loan and lease losses of $1.40 billion adequate to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio at December 31, 2001, in light of the foregoing, no assurance can be given that we will not in any particular period sustain loan losses that are significantly different from the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of factors then prevailing, would not result in a significant change in the allowance for loan and lease losses.

During
the second quarter of2000, in conjunction with our continued expansion of our lending activity beyond traditional SFR loans, management enhanced its methodology for determining the allocated components of the allowance. This enhancement resulted in an allocation of previously unallocated allowance amounts to individual loan categories.Portions of the allowance for loan and lease losses are now allocated to cover estimated losses inherent in each loan and lease category as well as to individual loans. Management also maintains an unallocated component of the allowance to cover estimated credit losses not fully considered in the allocated portion of the allowance. Factors impacting the level of the unallocated component include modeling deficiencies resulting from the absence of comprehensive historical information, lack of credit performance data related to newly developed loan products or programs, changes in underwriting standards and other factors impacting the estimation of credit losses. 3942 An analysis of the allowance for loan and lease losses was as follows:

We record an allowance for recourse obligations to cover inherent losses on loans securitized and retained in our MBS portfolio for which we retain the credit risk, and to cover estimated losses on loans and MBS sold to third parties for which a recourse obligation exists. A regular review is performed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for recourse obligations. As of December 31, 2000, the allowance for recourse obligations totaled $104 million, compared with $113 million at year-end 1999. The total loss coverage percentage is the allowance for loan and lease losses and the allowance for recourse obligations as a percentage of nonaccrual loans:

Nonperforming Assets Assets considered to be nonperforming include nonaccrual loans and foreclosed assets. When loans securitized or sold with recourse become nonperforming, they are included in nonaccrual loans. Management generally classifies loans as nonaccrual if the timely collection of principal and interest is not expected, any portion of the loan has been charged off, or the loan is four payments or more past due. Nonperforming assets were $1.04 billion or 0.53% of total assets at December 31, 2000, compared with $1.03 billion or 0.55% of total assets at year-end 1999. 4043 Nonperforming assets consisted of the following:

Specialty mortgage finance loans on nonaccrual status increased by $122 million during 2000 and by $55 million during 1999 due to the continued growth and seasoning of this portfolio. This increase in nonaccrual loans was consistent with our expectations. We expect the balance of nonaccrual loans to increase as the portfolio continues to grow and season. The balance of specialty mortgage finance loans increased to $7.26 billion at year-end 2000 from $4.45 billion at year-end 1999. Loans (exclusive of the allowance for loan and lease losses) and nonaccrual loans by geographic concentration at December 31, 2000 were as follows:

At December 31, 2000, nonaccrual loans in California accounted for 35% of total nonaccrual loans, down from 49% in 1999. Due to the concentration of our loans in California, the California real estate market 4144 requires continual review. In general, real estate values have increased during 1998, 1999 and 2000. However, economic performance within California may vary significantly among property types or by region. Impaired Loans Commercial real estate loans over $1 million and all commercial business and builder construction loans are individually evaluated for impairment. Management generally identifies loans to be evaluated for impairment when such loans are on nonaccrual status or have been restructured. However, not all nonaccrual loans are impaired. Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due, including scheduled interest payments. Restructured loans are evaluated for impairment based on the contractual terms specified by the original loan agreement, rather than the contractual terms specified by the restructuring agreement. Loans performing under restructured terms beyond a specified performance period are classified as accruing, but may still be deemed impaired. Factors involved in determining impairment include, but are not limited to, the financial condition of the borrower, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. OPERATING SEGMENTSOperating Segments
Effective January 1, 2001, we realigned our
business segments. Separately, we are in the process of enhancingoperating segments and enhanced our segment reporting processmethodologies and allocations and willmethodologies.

Banking and Financial Services
Net income was $955 million in 2001, compared with $787 million in 2000 and $490 million in 1999. Due to the
commercial banking segment,growth in deposits andsubstantially all of the retailconsumerdeposits are allocated to the consumer banking segment. The related interest expense is allocated to those segments. The consumer banking segment was allocated an amount of assets equal to the excess of its deposits over its balance of consumer loans. The other segments were allocated an amount of indebtedness in excess of deposits necessary to support the interest-earning assets of the segment. The rate on such indebtedness was our weighted average borrowing cost. Consumer Banking Netloans, net interest income was$2.50$2.27 billion, up from $1.90 billion in 2000$2.49and $1.71 billion in1999, and $2.561999. Noninterest income increased to $1.78 billion in1998. Net interest income for the consumer banking group increased slightly2001 from1999 to 2000 primarily due to the increase in the net interest spread$1.40 billion andmargin, whereas the decline from 1998 to 1999 was due to the compression of the net interest spread and margin. The yield on the consumer banking group's SFR and consumer loans responded more quickly than the cost of deposits to the rise in short-term interest rates during the first half of 2000. Noninterest income was $1.04$1.14 billion in 2000$817 million inand 1999,and $626 million in 1998.respectively. Theriseincrease in noninterest incomeduringwas predominantly due to thecomparative periods resulted from anincrease in depositor and other retail banking fees associated with higher collections of nonsufficient funds,andother fees on existing checking accountsfrom higher customer usageandfee increases. The increase from 1998 to 1999 was primarily due to collecting more debit card, ATM, nonsufficient funds and other fees that resulted from an increased number ofgrowth in new checking accounts. The number of checking accounts increased bymore than 500,000 during 200021% in 2001 (including 271,183 accounts acquired from Bank United) and 12% in 2000.Primarily reflecting increases in compensation and benefits expense, occupancy and equipment expense, and depositor and other retail banking losses, noninterest expense increased to
4.8 million accounts at December 31,$2.41 billion in 2001, compared with $1.97 billion in 2000 andover 400,000$2.04 billion in 1999. The acquisition of Bank United also contributed to the increase during the 2001 periods.Total average assets increased by approximately 37% during 2001. The increase in 2001 was due to the growth in consumer loans. Average consumer loans increased 35% during 2001.
Home Loans and Insurance Services
Segment results for the Home Loans and Insurance Services Group were significantly impacted by the addition of the mortgage operations of the Acquired Companies.

The increase in SFR mortgage banking loanservicingrelated income was primarily due to higher levels of late fees on loan payments. A significant portion of the growth inloans serviced for others as a result ofportfolio loansales and securitizations. The impact of this portfolio growth was partially offset by an increaserelated income inmortgage servicing rights amortization. The decline in noninterest income from 1998 to 19992001 was due to higher loan prepayment fees resulting from adecreasehigher level of refinancing activity. Due to high levels of amortization and the recognition of MSR impairment, net SFR loan servicing expense totaled $1.52 billion in 2001, compared with net SFR loan servicing incomeand loan related income. In addition, gain on saleofloans was lower in 1999 due to a decrease in fixed-rate loan originations and sales. Total assets increased $8.61 billion, nearly 19%, to $54.98 billion at December 31, 2000 from $46.37 billion at year-end 1999. This increase was primarily due to an increase in MBS.

Noninterest income was up during the comparative periods due to increased securities fees and commissions. During these periods, there were higher sales of investment products and growth of assets under management. Noninterest expense was $240 million in 2000, $200 million in 1999, and $165 million in 1998.

comparative periodsacquisition of Bank United.Liquidity
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the Company has the continuing ability to maintain cash flows that are adequate to fund operations and meet obligations and other commitments on a timely and cost-effective basis.
The principal sources of liquidity for our consolidated enterprise are customer deposits, wholesale borrowings, the sale and securitization of mortgage loans into secondary market channels, the maturity and repayment of portfolio loans and MBS, and agency and treasury bonds held in our available-for-sale securities portfolio. Among these sources, transaction deposits and wholesale borrowings from Federal Home Loan Bank advances and repurchase agreements continue to provide the Company with a significant source of stable funding. During 2001, those sources funded 67% of average total assets. Our continuing ability to retain our transaction deposit customer base and to attract new deposits is dependent on various factors, such as customer service satisfaction levels and the competitiveness of interest rates offered on our deposit products. We expect that Federal Home Loan Bank advances and repurchase agreements will continue to be our most significant sources of wholesale borrowings during 2002, and we expect to have the requisite assets available to pledge as collateral to obtain these funds.
To supplement these funding sources, our bank subsidiaries also raise funds in domestic and international capital markets. In April 2001, our two most significant bank subsidiaries, WMBFA and WMB, established a $15 billion Global Bank Note Program (the "Program"). The Program facilitates issuance of both senior and subordinated debt in the United States and in international capital markets on both a syndicated and non-syndicated basis and in a variety of currencies and structures. During 2001, our bank subsidiaries issued $3.75 billion of senior notes and $1 billion of subordinated notes under the Program. At December 31, 2001, $10.25 billion remained unissued.
The Company, through Long Beach Mortgage, had credit facilities in the aggregate amount of $1 billion available at December 31, 2001, of which $500 million expires in April 2002 and $500 million expires in September 2002.
Liquidity for the Parent Company is generated through its ability to raise funds in various capital markets, and through dividends from subsidiaries, lines of credit and commercial paper programs.
45
A significant portion of the Parent Company's funding during 2001 was
duereceived from dividends paid by our bank subsidiaries. Although we expect the Parent Company to continue to receive bank subsidiary dividends during 2002, such dividends are limited by various regulatory requirements related to capital adequacy and retained earnings. For more information on dividend restrictions applicable to our banking subsidiaries, refer to "Business – Regulation and Supervision" and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – "Regulatory Capital Requirements and Dividend Restrictions."During 2001, the Parent Company consummated a private placement offering of $1.15 billion of Trust Preferred Income Equity Redeemable SecuritiesSM ("PIERSSM"). The offering consisted of 23 million units, with each unit comprised of a preferred security issued by a special purpose subsidiary trust, and a warrant to purchase approximately 1.2 shares of Washington Mutual common stock. The trust preferred securities would qualify as Tier 1 capital for the Parent Company if it were subject to the same regulatory capital adequacy standards applicable to commercial bank holding companies. The proceeds from the PIERSSM were used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions.
In November 2001, the Parent Company filed a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows for the issuance of $1.5 billion of senior and subordinated debt in the United States and in international capital markets and in a variety of currencies and structures. The proceeds from the sale of the debt securities will be used for general corporate purposes. In January 2002, $1 billion of senior debt securities were issued under this shelf registration.
At December 31, 2001, the Parent Company had no commercial paper outstanding. The Parent Company shares two revolving credit facilities totaling $1.2 billion with Washington Mutual Finance. These facilities provide back-up for the commercial paper programs of the Parent Company and Washington Mutual Finance. The amount available under these shared facilities, net of the amount of commercial paper outstanding at Washington Mutual Finance, was $849 million at December 31, 2001.
Capital Adequacy
Reflecting strong earnings and the issuance of $1.15 billion of PIERSSM, $398 million of which was attributable to the attached warrants (recorded as capital surplus), the ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets increased to 5.80% at December 31, 2001 from 5.22% at year-end 2000. These sources of capital were more than adequate to accommodate the recent acquisitions as well as support growth.
In April 1999, the Board of Directors ("Board") approved a share repurchase program. From the second quarter of 1999 through June 30, 2000, we purchased a total of 100 million shares as part of our previously authorized total of 167 million shares. We did not repurchase any of our common stock from the second quarter of 2000 until the fourth quarter of 2001. Management instead focused on internal growth and acquisitions as a means of deploying capital during this time. On October 19, 2001, we announced the resumption of our share repurchase program and repurchased an additional 7 million shares during the fourth quarter of 2001. Management may engage in future share repurchases as liquidity conditions permit and market conditions warrant.
The regulatory capital ratios of WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb and minimum regulatory requirements to be categorized as well capitalized were as follows:

Our federal savings bank subsidiaries are also required by OTS regulations to maintain tangible capital of at least 1.50% of assets. WMBFA and WMBfsb both satisfied this requirement at December 31, 2001.
Our broker-dealer subsidiaries are also subject to capital requirements. At December 31, 2001, both of our securities subsidiaries were in compliance with their applicable capital requirements.
Market Risk Management
Certain of the statements contained within this section that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are intended to assist in the understanding of how our financial performance would be affected by the circumstances described in this section. However, such performance involves risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Statements."
Market risk is defined as the sensitivity of income and capital to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other relevant market rates or prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Substantially all of our interest rate risk arises from instruments, positions and transactions entered into for purposes other than trading. They include loans, MSR, securities, deposits, borrowings, long-term debt and derivative financial instruments.
Interest rate risk is managed within an overall asset/liability management framework. The principal objective of asset/liability management is to manage the sensitivity of net income to changing interest rates. Asset/liability management is governed by policies reviewed and approved annually by our Board. The Board has delegated the responsibility to oversee the administration of these policies to the Directors' Loan and Investment Committee.
Overview of Our Interest Rate Risk Profile
Increases or decreases in interest rates can cause changes in net income, fluctuations in the fair value of assets and liabilities, such as MSR and investment securities, and changes in noninterest income and noninterest expense, particularly gain from mortgage loans. Our interest rate risk arises because assets and liabilities reprice, mature or prepay at different times or frequencies as market interest rates change. Our loan volume and mix also vary as interest rates change. Our net interest income generally increases in a falling interest rate environment and decreases in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, gain from mortgage loans tends to increase in a falling interest rate environment and decrease as interest rates rise. The changes in net interest income and gain from mortgage loans are inversely related to the changes in the value of MSR, which decrease as interest rates fall and increase as interest rates rise.
The increase in the net interest
spreadmargin in a falling interest rate environment is because our deposits and borrowings typically reprice faster than our mortgage loans and securities, contributing to an expansion in the net interest margin.AverageThe slower repricing of assets results mainly from the lag effect inherent in loans and MBS indexed to the 12-month average of the annual yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year and to the 11th District FHLB monthly weighted average cost of funds index ("COFI").In a falling interest rate environment, we also experience faster prepayments and increased loan volume with a shift to fixed-rate loan production. As most of the fixed-rate production is sold in the secondary market, we potentially face balance sheet shrinkage. In spite of this shrinkage, net income tends to increase in a falling interest rate environment as a result of the
growthexpansion inloans originated, purchases of specialty mortgage finance loans, and the acquisition of Long Beach Mortgage on October 1, 1999. Noninterest income was $141 million in 2000, $56 million in 1999, and $10 million in 1998. The increase during the comparative periods was primarily due to an increase in gains on sales of loans originated by Long Beach Mortgage. Noninterest expense was $274 million in 2000 compared with $164 million in 1999 and $127 million in 1998. The increase in 2000 was primarily due to the inclusion of Long Beach Mortgage operating expenses. Total assets increased $2.88 billion to $10.25 billion at December 31, 2000 from $7.37 billion at year-end 1999. This increase was primarily due to purchases of specialty mortgage finance loans, in addition to loans originated and purchased by Washington Mutual Finance. ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Our long-term profitability depends not only on the success of the services we offer to our customers and the credit quality of our loans and securities, but also the extent to which our earnings are not negatively affected by changes in interest rates. We engage in a comprehensive asset and liability management program that attempts to reduce the risk of significant decreases in net interest income caused by interest rate changes 4346 without unduly penalizing current earnings. As part of this strategy, we actively manage the amounts and maturities of our assets and liabilities. A key component of our strategy is the origination and retention of short-term and adjustable-rate assets whose repricing characteristics more closely match the repricing characteristics of our liabilities. At December 31, 2000, approximately 78% of our total SFR loan and MBS portfolio had adjustable rates. During periods of moderate to high market interest rates, our customers prefer ARMs. ARMs are also well received whenever long-term rates remain appreciably higher than short-term rates. During 2000, market interest rates rose 50 to 100 basis points; and the difference between the yields on a three-month U.S. Treasury bill and a ten-year U.S. Government note averaged 4 basis points, compared with 88 basis points in 1999. Even though short-term rates were not significantly lower than long-term rates, 85% of our SFR loan originations were ARMs, while 15% were fixed rate during 2000 due to higher long-term rates compared with recent years. Prior to the upward trend in interest rates in late 1999 and 2000, a low and flat yield curve and significant repricings during 1998 and early 1999 resulted in lowered asset yields. Subsequently, when short-term interest rates rose, the higher funding costs compressedthe net interest margin.This compression began to lessenThe increased loan production combined with a higher percentage of fixed-rate loans results inthe latter half of 2000 as interest rates stabilized and the yield on assets tied to lagging market indices rose. We estimate that it takes three to four quarters for asset yields to catch up with increases in funding costs afteran increase inshort-termgain from mortgage loans. The fair value of MSR decreases in falling interestrates. However, continuedrate environments due to the highershort-term rates duringprepayment activity, resulting in thelatter halfpotential for impairment. This impairment is normally offset by47
the increased net interest margin and gain from mortgage loans as well as gains from the sale of
2000 limitedbonds and thewideningextinguishment of borrowings with embedded interest rate floors.Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment, we normally experience slower prepayments, decreased loan volume and a shift to adjustable-rate production. Balance sheet growth typically occurs, despite the decrease in loan production, due to the increased volume of adjustable-rate loans, which we typically hold in our portfolio. In spite of balance sheet growth, net interest income tends to decrease in a rising interest rate environment as a result of the compressed net interest margin.
To manageGain from mortgage loans normally decreases as rates rise due to theriskdecrease in loan production and the lower percentage oftiming differencesfixed-rate loans. However, the fair value of MSR increases in this environment, resulting in therepricingpotential recovery ofassets and liabilities, our interest-earning assets are matched with interest-bearing liabilities that have similar repricing characteristics. For example, in general, our fixed-rate loans are matched with long-term deposits and borrowings, and our ARMs are matched with short-term deposits and borrowings. Periodically, mismatches are identified and managedany MSR reserves. We may offset the recovery of the MSR reserves byadjusting the repricing characteristics of our interest-bearing liabilities with derivatives. Derivatives such asselling securities, interest rate floors or other derivatives at a loss. The intent would be to reset these instruments to current market rates to enhance their ability to hedge against MSR impairment in falling interest rate environments.Types of Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to different types of interest rate risks. These risks include: lag, repricing, basis, prepayment, and lifetime cap
and exchange agreementsrisk. These risks aregenerally utilized to matchdescribed in further detail in theduration of liabilities to that of the assets. We also continue to sell fixed-rate loans to adjust the balance between interest-sensitive liabilities and interest-sensitive assets. During 2000, we started to sell adjustable-rate loans with three-to five-year initial fixed rates. To establish balance sheet flexibility and diversity, we also began to sell some monthly option ARMs in 2000. We continued to purchase specialty mortgage finance loans during 2000.following paragraphs.Lag risk. Lag risk
During 2000, lag risk was our primary interest rate risk. In times of rising interest rates, we are negatively affected by anresults from the inherent timing difference between the repricing of our adjustable-rate assets and our liabilities. The effect of this timing difference, or "lag," will be favorable during a period of declining interest rates and unfavorable during a period of rising interest rates.Although the effect of thisThis laggenerally balances out over the life of a given loan, itrisk can produce short-term volatility in our net interest income during periods of interest ratemovement.movements even though the effect of this lag generally balances out over time. One example ofthislag risk is thedelayrepricing of assets indexed to the monthly treasury average ("MTA"). The MTA index is based on a moving average of rates outstanding during the previous twelve months. A sharp movement in interest rates in a month will not be fully reflected in the index for twelve months resulting in a lag in the repricing ofCOFI-based assets, commonly referred to as "COFI lag."loans and securities based on this index. Thislag results from the two-month delay in reported COFI because of the time required to gather the data necessary to compute the index. The COFI used tocontrasts with borrowings which generally repriceARMs and adjustable-rate MBS generally reflects the cost of funds for a period two months prior to the adjustment date. As a result, COFI loans reprice more slowly than our liabilities.based on current market interest rates.Repricing
riskrisk. Repricing risk is caused by the mismatch in the maturities and/or repricing periods between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In periods of rising interest rates, the net interest marginwill compress ifnormally contracts since the repricing period of liabilities is shorter than the repricing period ofassets becauseassets. This results in funding costswill riserising faster than asset yields. Theimpactnet interest margin expands in periods of falling interest rateswould be positive.as borrowing costs reprice downward faster than asset yields. Repricing riskcan beis managed by changing the repricing characteristics of interest-bearing liabilities withderivatives. 4447derivatives and by selling fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans and securities.Basis risk. Basis risk results from our assets and liabilities reacting differently to interest rate movements due to their dependency on different indices. For example, most adjustable-rate loans are indexed to COFI, MTA, Prime or Treasury based indexes. The rates on the majority of our borrowings are derived from the London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") or interest rate swap curves. This results in basis risk as the loan indices may move at a different rate or in a different direction than the rate on our borrowings or deposits.
Prepayment risk. Prepayment risk
In a decliningresults from the ability of customers to pay off their loans prior to maturity. Generally, prepayments increase in falling interest rateenvironment with a flat yield curve, customers' preference for fixed-rate loans usuallyenvironments and decrease in rising interest rate environments. In falling interest rate environments, this normally results in the prepayment and refinancing of existingloans, fixed-ratefixed- andARMs,adjustable-rate loans to lower coupon, fixed-rate mortgage loans. This preference, when combined with our policy of selling most of our fixed-rate loan production, may make itmoredifficultfor usto increase or even maintain the size of our loan and MBS portfolio during these periods. During such periods, it is likely that we wouldcontinue to securitize ARMs, but hold themdecrease the percentage of adjustable-rate loans that are48
sold. This could result in an increase in our held for sale portfolio, offsetting some of the potential balance sheet shrinkage resulting from the faster prepayments of existing loans and securities.
In rising interest rate environments, the decline in prepayments would normally result in an increase in the
portfolio, rather than selling them, to offsetsize of our loan and MBS portfolios. During these periods, we may increase the percentage of adjustable-rate loans that are sold. This could result in a decrease in our held for sale portfolio. These additional sales may generate gain on sale offsetting some ofthis risk.

In addition, the amortization of premiums and discounts related to loans and MBSon our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition must be written off at the time of repayment and can have an adverse impact on earnings. Basis risk The repricing of our assets and liabilities is also at risk from interest rate movements because generally our assets and liabilitiesaretied to a variety of indices which may react differently to changesaffected by increases or decreases ininterest rates. Loans tied to the COFI index create a form of basisprepayments.Lifetime cap risk.
Our general cost of funds is higher than most other savings institutions whose costs are a component of the COFI index because a larger portion of our liabilities are borrowings, rather than lower costing deposits. To reduce basis risk, we offer the MTA loan. This loan has all the same borrower advantages as the COFI product, such as a 7.5% annual payment cap and four payment options. However, the MTA loan is indexed to the 12-month moving average of the one-year Treasury bills, which more closely reflects our borrowing costs. Management has reduced potential net interest income volatility caused by COFI basis risk by increasing production of MTA and other non-COFI adjustable-rate products and short-term fixed-rate products, such as consumer loans. There continues to be basis risk with the MTA index, as it moves with the Treasury rates, and most of our borrowings are tied to LIBOR indices. Borrowings are generally more rate sensitive than deposits and reprice more quickly as market interest rates (such as treasury rates) change. To the extent that loan indices move at a different rate or in a different direction from our cost of funds, the general cost of funds basis risk may be realized. Loan indices As discussed previously, the majority of our loans and MBS have adjustable rates that are tied to a market index. Our cost of funds (representing the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities) compared to various indices was as follows:
WASHINGTON MUTUAL'S COST OF FUNDS LESS THAN (GREATER THAN) WASHINGTON MUTUAL'S ----------------- FOR THE QUARTER ENDED COST OF FUNDS COFI MTA COFI MTA --------------------- ------------------- ---- ---- ------ -----December 31, 2000........................................ 5.60% 5.60% 6.11% --% 0.51% September 30, 2000....................................... 5.51 5.50 5.96 (0.01) 0.45 June 30, 2000............................................ 5.27 5.21 5.69 (0.06) 0.42 March 31, 2000........................................... 5.08 4.96 5.34 (0.12) 0.26Cap riskThe lifetime interest rate capsthat we offer to ARM borrowerson adjustable-rate loans held in portfolio introduce another element of interest rate risk to our earnings. In periods of rising interest rates, it is possible for therepricedfully indexed interestratesrate (index rate plus the margin) to exceed the lifetime interest rate cap. This feature prevents the loan from repricing to a level that exceeds the cap's specified interest rate, thus adversely impacting net interest income in periods of relatively high interest rates. Typically, the lifetime cap is 300 to 500 basis points above the fully indexed initial rate. The lifetime caps on our existing loan and MBS portfolios would not have a material adverse effect on net interest income unless interest rates increased substantially from current levels.Management of
existing ARMInterest Rate RiskTo mitigate the impact of changes in market interest rates on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, we actively manage the amounts and maturities of these assets and liabilities. A key component of this strategy is the origination and retention of short-term and adjustable-rate assets and the origination and sale of fixed-rate loans.
LIQUIDITY LiquidityWe retain short-term and adjustable-rate assets because they have repricing characteristics that more closely match the repricing characteristics of our liabilities. In addition to selling fixed-rate loans, we also sell a portion of our ARMs with three- to five-year initial fixed interest rates. We have also established additional balance sheet flexibility and diversity by designating some monthly option ARMs as held for sale.To further mitigate the risk of timing differences in the repricing of assets and liabilities, our interest-earning assets are matched with interest-bearing liabilities that have similar repricing characteristics. For example, the interest rate risk of holding fixed-rate loans is managed with long-term deposits and borrowings, and the risk of holding ARMs is managed with short-term deposits and borrowings. Periodically, mismatches are identified and managed by adjusting the repricing characteristics of our interest-bearing liabilities with derivatives, such as interest rate caps, collars, corridors, interest rate swaps and swaptions.
Through the use of these derivative instruments, management
focusesattempts to reduce or offset increases in interest expense related to deposits and borrowings. We use interest rate caps, collars, corridors, pay-fixed interest rate swaps and swaptions to protect against rising interest rates. We use receive-fixed interest rate swaps to reduce the interest expense on long-term, fixed-rate borrowings during stable or falling interest rate environments.The interest rate caps, collars, corridors, pay-fixed interest rate swaps and swaptions are designed to provide an additional layer of protection should interest rates on deposits and borrowings rise, by effectively lengthening the repricing period. At December 31, 2001, we held an aggregate notional value of $25.84 billion of caps, collars, corridors, pay-fixed interest rate swaps and swaptions. This included $5.90 billion of swaptions and $696 million of interest rate caps embedded in adjustable-rate borrowings. None of the interest rate caps had strike rates that were in effect at December 31, 2001, as current LIBOR
49
rates were below the strike rates. The swaptions are exercisable upon maturity, which range from February 2002 to September 2003. Thus, we have a degree of interest rate protection when interest rates rise, because these instruments provide a mechanism for fixing the rate on our deposits and borrowings to an interest rate that could be lower than market levels.
Using receive-fixed interest rate swaps, we can effectively reduce the interest expense on long-term, fixed-rate borrowings during periods when the receive-fixed rate is greater than the short-term floating rate on the
needinterest rate swap. Long-term borrowings, such as subordinated debt, also provide an excellent source of long-term funds. The issuance of subordinated debt, which generally qualifies as a component of Tier 2 risk-based capital, combined with a receive-fixed rate swap provides capital at an attractive funding rate. At December 31, 2001, we held $3.63 billion of receive-fixed interest rate swaps. We are also striving to increase the proportion of transaction deposits to total deposits to mitigate our exposure to adverse changes in interest rates. In particular, noninterest-bearing checking accounts and custodial accounts are not sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Additionally, checking accounts provide a growing source of noninterest income through depositor and other retail banking fees.We analyze the change in fair value of our MSR portfolio under a variety of parallel shifts in yield curves. Since most loans within our servicing portfolio do not contain penalty provisions for early payoff, the value of our underlying MSR is subject to impairment from prepayment risk. This risk generally increases in a declining interest rate environment, as prepayments on loans in our servicing portfolio tend to move inversely with mortgage rates. Increases in prepayments shorten the expected life of MSR, thereby decreasing their fair value and creating impairment.
Within our overall approach to enterprise interest rate risk management, we currently have two main strategies designed for handling potential impairments in the fair value of MSR. The first is the "natural business hedge" that is inherent in our mortgage banking business. The current composition of the balance sheet and the response of net income to declining interest rates act, to some extent, as a hedge to MSR impairment. Net interest income generally increases in a declining interest rate environment, providing an offset for impairment. Lower interest rates also contribute to increased loan volume, particularly fixed-rate loan production. Since our strategy is to sell most of our fixed-rate loans, we are able to recognize additional gain from mortgage loans and gains from securitized loans. The effectiveness of the natural business hedge increases to the extent that our loan servicing portfolio is replenished more quickly than the loans prepay.
The second risk management strategy involves the use of investment securities and embedded derivatives. We use fixed-rate investment securities, such as agency and treasury bonds, and interest rate floors embedded in certain adjustable-rate borrowings to supplement the "natural business hedge" of our MSR. The fixed-rate securities can be sold at a gain in falling interest rate environments assisting in offsetting the MSR impairment. The embedded interest rate floors provide a benefit when the specified interest rate index drops below certain levels (strike rate). Similar to the fixed-rate securities, the borrowings with embedded interest rate floors can be terminated at a gain in falling interest environments to assist in offsetting MSR impairment. We may elect to retain some of the fixed-rate securities or the borrowings with embedded interest rate floors in declining interest rate markets. The retained instruments would increase net interest income, providing some protection against MSR impairment.
We purchased additional bonds in early 2002. We expect to purchase derivatives such as pay-fixed swaptions (options to enter into pay-fixed interest rate swaps) or swaps to hedge the risk of holding the fixed-income bonds, as market conditions warrant. Gain from the sale of bonds in a declining interest rate environment may be used to offset MSR impairment. Loss from the sale of bonds in a rising interest rate environment may generally be offset by gain on the termination of the derivatives and the recovery of the MSR impairment reserve. We expect to maintain the market position of the bond portfolio so that the gain from the sale of bonds in a falling interest rate environment combined with the increased income from the natural business hedge is sufficient to offset most of the MSR impairment. Overall, we believe this strategy
50
will minimize net income sensitivity under most interest rate environments. Our net income could be adversely affected if we are unable to effectively implement or manage our hedging strategy.
We also hedge the risks associated with our mortgage pipeline. The mortgage pipeline consists of fixed-and adjustable-rate SFR loans to be sold in the secondary market. The risk associated with the mortgage pipeline is the potential rise in interest rates between the time the customer locks in the rate on the loan and the time the loan is sold. This period is usually 60 to 90 days. To hedge this risk, we execute forward sales agreements and option contracts. A forward sales agreement protects us in a rising interest rate environment, since the sales price and delivery date are already established. A forward sales agreement is different, however, from an option contract in that we are obligated to deliver the loan to the third party on the agreed-upon future date. Consequently, if the loan does not fund, we may not have the necessary assets to meet
both short-termthe commitment; therefore, we may be required to purchase other assets, at current market prices, to satisfy the forward sales agreement. To mitigate this risk, we consider fallout factors, which represent the percentage of loans that are not expected to close, in calculating the amount of forward sales agreements to execute.2001 and 2000 Sensitivity Comparison
To analyze net income sensitivity, we project net income over a 12-month horizon based on parallel shifts in the yield curve. Management employs numerous other analyses and interest rate scenarios to evaluate interest rate risk. We project net interest income under a variety of interest rate scenarios, including non-parallel shifts in the yield curve and more extreme non-parallel rising and falling rate environments. These additional scenarios also address the risk exposure in time periods beyond the twelve months captured in the net income sensitivity analysis. Typically, net interest income sensitivity in a rising interest rate environment is not as pronounced in these longer time periods as lagging assets reprice to current market levels and balance sheet growth begins to offset a lower net interest margin. In addition, yields on new loan production gradually replace the comparatively lower yields of the more seasoned portion of the portfolio.
The table below indicates the sensitivity of net income and net interest income to interest rate movements. The comparative scenarios assume a parallel shift in the yield curve with interest rates rising or falling in even quarterly increments over the twelve month period ending December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The analysis assumes increases in interest rates of 200 basis points ("bp") and decreases of 100 bp. The interest rate scenarios used below represent management's view of reasonably possible near-term interest rate movements.
Gradual Change in Rates -100bp +200bp Net income change for the one-year period beginning: January 1, 2002 2.19 % (2.76 )% January 1, 2001 6.85 % (8.68 )% Net interest income change for the one-year period beginning: January 1, 2002 1.47 % (5.18 )% January 1, 2001 5.85 % (12.45 )% Net income and net interest income sensitivity declined since the prior year mainly due to the purchase of pay-fixed derivatives and additional fixed-rate funding. The funding

recent years has inhibited growth of consumer deposits, we have supported our growth through business combinations with other financial institutions and by increasing our use of wholesale borrowings. 4548 We monitor our ability to meet short-term cash requirements using guidelines established by our Boards of Directors. These guidelines ensure that short-term secured borrowing capacity is sufficient to satisfy unanticipated cash needs. As presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the sources of liquidity vary between years. The statement of cash flows includes operating, investing and financing categories. Cash flows from operating activities included net income for 2000 of $1.90 billion, $503 million for net noncash items and $881 million of other net cash inflows from operating activities. Cash flows from investing activities consisted mainly of proceeds from sales and purchases of securities, loan and security principal repayments, loan originations and sales of loans. In 2000, cash flows from investing activities included sales, maturities and principal payments on securities totaling $12.22 billion. Loans originated and purchased for investment were in excess of repayments and sales by $15.86 billion. Cash flows from financing activities consisted of the net change in our deposit accounts and short-term borrowings, deposits sold, the proceeds and repayments of long-term borrowings and FHLBs advances, and the repurchase of our common stock. In 2000, the above mentioned financing activities increased cash and cash equivalents by $4.76 billion on a net basis. Cash and cash equivalents were $2.62 billion at December 31, 2000. See "Consolidated Financial Statements -- Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows." As of December 31, 2000, we had two revolving credit facilities: a $1.20 billion 364-day facility and a $600 million four-year facility, which provide back-up for our commercial paper programs. At December 31, 2000, we had $841 million available under these facilities, which represents the total amount of the two revolving credit facilities, net of the amount of commercial paper outstanding at year end. With the acquisition ofBank United, the mortgage operations of PNC and Fleet changed our interest rate risk profile. These acquisitions increased the balances of noninterest bearing escrow accounts, our loan51

Most of the loan production from the mortgage entities consists of fixed-rate loans that are sold into the secondary market. Thefunds were borrowed through additional advancessales also reduce the sensitivity of net interest income and, in falling interest rate environments, result in higher gain fromFHLBsmortgage loans, which serves to offset MSR impairment. Since the loan portfolio acquired from Bank United generally reprices to market rates more quickly than our historical loan portfolio, this has reduced our sensitivity to net interest margin compression, which occurs during periods of rising interest rates.The projection of the sensitivity of net income requires numerous behavioral assumptions. Prepayment, decay rate (the estimated runoff of deposit accounts that do not have a stated maturity) and
by federal funds purchased. CAPITAL ADEQUACY Our capital (stockholders' equity) was $10.17 billion at December 31, 2000, up from $9.05 billion at December 31, 1999.

decreasesensitivity of new loan volume and mix to changes inunrealized loss on available-for-sale securitiesmarket interest rate levels is also projected. Generally, we assume loan production increases in falling interest rate scenarios with an increased proportion of fixed-rate production. We generally assume a reduction in total loan production in rising interest rate scenarios with a shift towards a greater proportion of adjustable-rate production. The gain from mortgage loans as a percentage of total loan sales also varies under different interest rate scenarios. Normally, the gain from mortgage loans as a percentage of total loan sales increases in falling interest rate environments as higher consumer demand, generated primarily from high refinancing activity, allows loans to$51 million at December 31, 2000be priced more aggressively. Conversely, the gain from$667 million at December 31, 1999 inmortgage loans as a percentage of total loan sales tends to decline when interest rates increase as loan pricing becomes more competitive, since market participants strive to retain market share as consumer demand declines.In addition to

At December 31, 2000, both of our securities subsidiaries were in compliance with their applicable capital requirements. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED IN THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, was issued in September 2000 and replaces SFAS No. 125 of the same title. This statement revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral, and requires certain disclosures, but carries over most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. This 4649 statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001 and is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Our adoption of this statement is not expected to materially affect our results of operations or financial condition. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -- Note 3: Securities and Note 5: Mortgage Banking Activities." RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED On January 1, 2001, we recorded a transition adjustment representing a $0.6 million loss ($0.4 million net of tax) related to the implementation of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This loss will be reflected in our earnings for the first quarter of 2001. This loss represents the excess of book value over the remainingfair value ofcertainMSR generally increases as interestrate cap agreements designatedrates rise and decreases ascash flow hedgesinterest rates fall. The other components of noninterest income and expense, such as deposit and loan fees and expenses, generally increase or decrease in conjunction with deposit and loan volumes, although loan servicing fees are also dependent on prepayment expectations.The analysis is predicated on the
difference between book value and fair valueeffectiveness offorward loan sale contractsour strategy forwhich hedge accounting was not elected. These losses were partially offset by unrealized gains representinghedging the fair value ofcommitmentsMSR and in managing the instruments used tooriginatehedge the fair value of MSR. We have used embedded interest rate floors and fixed-rate bonds as the primary instruments in hedging MSR. However, purchasing bonds increases our exposure to rising interest rates so this risk must also be managed. Our strategy includes purchasing derivatives such as pay-fixed swaptions or swaps to hedge the risk of holding the fixed-rate bonds.In a falling interest rate environment, we project MSR impairment as well as gains on the termination or liquidation of MSR hedges. These gains, combined with the increase in net interest income and gain from mortgage loans,
thatgenerally offset the impairment of MSR. We assume the hedges of MSR will be reset every quarter subsequent to the termination or liquidation, as the need to hedge against further impairment is still present. In a rising interest rate environment, we assume the swaptions and/or swaps hedging the fixed-rate bonds will be terminated and the bonds will be liquidated. We assume the hedges are reset every quarter to the extent gains on the swaptions and/or swaps exist.52
Counterparty Risk
An additional risk that arises from our borrowing (including repurchase agreements) and derivative activities is counterparty risk. These activities generally involve an exchange of obligations with another financial institution, referred to in such transactions as a "counterparty." If a counterparty were to default, we could potentially be exposed to financial loss. In order to minimize this risk, we evaluate all counterparties for financial strength on at least an annual basis, then establish exposure limits for each counterparty. We obtain collateral from the counterparties for amounts in excess of the exposure limits, and we monitor our exposure and collateral requirements on a daily basis. We strive to deal with well-established, reputable and financially strong firms.

Maturity and Repricing Information
We use interest rate derivative financial instruments as an asset/liability management tool to hedge mismatches in interest rate maturities in order to reduce our sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. The following table summarizes the notional amounts, expected maturities and weighted average interest rates associated with amounts to be received or paid on interest rate swaps, and the notional amounts, expected maturities and weighted average strike rates for interest rate caps and corridors. Derivatives that are embedded within certain adjustable-rate borrowings, while not accounted for as derivatives under SFAS No. 133, have been included in the table since they also function as asset/liability management tools.

In assigning assets to maturity and repricing categories, we take into consideration expected prepayment speeds rather than contractual maturities. The balances reflect actual amortization of principal and do not take into consideration reinvestment of cash. Principal prepayments are the amounts of principal reduction over and above normal amortization. We have used prepayment assumptions based on market estimates and past experience with our current portfolio. The majority of our transaction deposits are not contractually subject to repricing. Therefore, these instruments have been allocated based on expected decay rates. Certain transaction accounts that reprice based on a market index and/or typically reprice more frequently were allocated based on the expected repricing period.

TAX CONTINGENCYmoney market deposit accounts.Tax Contingency
From 1981 through 1985, Ahmanson acquired thrift institutions in six states through Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC")-assisted transactions. The position was that assistance received from the FSLIC included out-of-state branching rights valued at approximately $740 million. Prior to December 31, 1998, Ahmanson had sold its deposit-taking businesses and abandoned such branching rights in five states, the first of which was Missouri in 1993. Our financial statements do not contain any benefit related to our determination that we are entitled to a deduction for the amount of our tax bases in certain state branching rights when we sold our deposit-taking businesses in those states, thereby abandoning such branching rights. Our position is that the tax bases result from the tax treatment of property received as assistance from the FSLIC in conjunction with FSLIC-assisted transactions. The potential tax benefit related to these abandonments as of December 31,
20002001 could approach $238 million.55
The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") has completed its examination of the Ahmanson federal income tax returns for the years 1990 through 1993. The return for 1993 included the proposed adjustment related to the abandonment of the Missouri branching rights.
The matter is currently beforeA tentative settlement was reached with the Appeals Branch level of theService.Service and it is currently under review by the Joint Committee on Taxation. In accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedaccounting principles,in the United States of America, we do not believe it is appropriate at this time to reflect any tax benefits in our financial statements.4750 GOODWILL LITIGATIONGoodwill Litigation
On August 9, 1989, the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act ("FIRREA") was enacted. Among other things, FIRREA raised the minimum capital requirements for savings institutions and required a phase-out of the amount of supervisory goodwill that could be included in satisfying certain regulatory capital requirements. The exclusion of supervisory goodwill from regulatory capital led many savings institutions to either replace the lost capital by issuing new qualifying debt or equity securities or to reduce assets.
To date, trials have been concluded and opinions have been issued in a number of actions in the United States Court of Federal Claims (the "Court") in which savings institutions and investors in savings institutions sought damages from the U.S. Government based on breach of contract and other theories. Generally, in cases in which these opinions on the merits have been issued by the Court, either the plaintiff(s), the defendant (U.S. Government), or both the plaintiff(s) and the defendant, have opted to appeal the Court's decision.
SuchOf those appeals, some are now pending before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit(the "Federal Circuit").and others have been decided. Generally, the appeals have resulted in the cases being remanded to the Court for further trial proceedings. In one case,California Federal Bank v. United States, the plaintiff petitioned and the defendant cross petitioned the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, both of which were denied.Home Savings
InWMBFA, as successor to Home Savings, has continued to pursue a favorable outcome in the lawsuit filed by Home Savings in September 1992 ("Home Savings
filed a lawsuitGoodwill Litigation") against the U.S. Governmentinfor damages from theCourt for unspecified damages involvingexclusion from regulatory capital of supervisory goodwillrelated to itsresulting from Home Savings' acquisitions oftroubled savings institutions from 1981 to 1988. In March 1998, the U.S. Government conceded, while reserving the right to contest certain issues on appeal, that Home Savings had entered into certain contracts with the U.S. Government and that the U.S. Government took actions that were inconsistent with those contracts. These contracts relate to Home Savings' purchase of troubledsavings institutions in Florida, Missouri, Texas,andIllinois, andthe purchaseOhio, and of Century Federal Savings of New York,with associatedover the period from 1981 to 1985. As of August 31, 1989, Home Savings possessed approximately $460 million in unamortized supervisory goodwill from these acquisitions.In the Home Savings Goodwill Litigation, Home Savings and Ahmanson (the parent of
$426Home Savings prior to its acquisition by WMBFA) alleged breaches of contract as well as certain other claims arising from facts substantially identical to those giving rise to the breaches of contract.On May 18, 2001, the Court issued an opinion holding the U.S. Government liable for breaches of the contracts which permitted Home Savings to count supervisory goodwill toward regulatory capital requirements in regard to all of the supervisory acquisitions of savings institutions in the states of Florida, Missouri, Texas, and Illinois, and in regard to the acquisition of Century Federal Savings of New York. The Court's opinion further holds the U.S. Government liable for breach of the contract which permitted Home Savings to count supervisory goodwill toward regulatory capital in regard to one of the five savings institutions that Home Savings acquired in the state of Ohio. The Court held that the U.S. Government was not liable for any breach of contract in regard to the other four savings institutions in Ohio which Home Savings had acquired. Approximately $34 million of the $460 million of unamortized goodwill Home Savings had as of August 31,
1989. The U.S. Government has denied the existence of a contract and actions inconsistent with such a contract in connection with1989, was attributable to Home Savings'purchaseacquisition of the five savings institutions inOhio with unamortizedOhio. WMBFA is currently assessing how much of the supervisory goodwillof approximately $34 million as of August 31, 1989. Home Savings had also pursued legal remedies against the U.S. Government for the loss of supervisory goodwill relatedattributable to Home Savings'1988 acquisitionacquisitions in Ohio remains the subject ofThe Bowerythe Home SavingsBankGoodwill Litigation as a result ofNew York.the Court's May 18 opinion.56
On
November 3, 1999, WMBFA (as successor to Home Savings) notifiedJanuary 16, 2002, the Courtthat WMBFA would not continue to pursue remedies in connection with The Bowery Savings Bankissued an opinion dismissing the remaining claims ofNew York acquisition. Unamortized supervisory goodwill from acquisitions that remain subjects of the lawsuit totaled approximately $460 million as of August 31, 1989. The U.S. Government has not conceded thatHome Savingswas damagedother than those for breach of contract. In the same opinion, the Court denied a motion byanythe United States for summary judgment with respect to damages resulting from the U.S. Government's breaches ofcontract addressed by the lawsuit, andcontract. Thus, as yet, there has been no determination as to the amount of any damages, if any, that Home Savings mayhave sustained asbe entitled to recover in compensation for the U.S. Government's breaches.On February 6, 2002, at the direction of the Court, the parties submitted status reports proposing dates for a
resulttrial to determine the amount of anybreach of contract.damages that WMBFA(as successormight recover in the Home Savings Goodwill Litigation. Pursuant toHome Savings) continuesan order entered on February 25, 2002, trial is now set topursue a favorable outcome of this lawsuit.commence in October 2002.American Savings Bank, F.A.
In December 1992, ASB, Keystone Holdings and certain related parties brought a lawsuit against the
United States,U.S. Government, alleging, among other things, that in connection with the acquisition of ASB they entered into a contract with agencies of the United States and that the U.S. Government breached that contract. As a result of the Keystone Transaction, we succeeded to all of the rights of ASB, Keystone Holdings and such related parties in such litigation and will receive any recovery from the litigation. ASB is now WMBFA.In connection with the Keystone Transaction, we delivered a specified number of shares of our common stock into an escrow. There are currently
1218 million shares in the escrow (the "Escrow Shares"). Upon our receipt of net cash proceeds from a judgment in or settlement of the litigation, all or part of the Escrow Shares will be released, 64.9% to investors in Keystone Holdings or their assigns, and 35.1% to the FSLIC Resolution Fund or its assigns. The number of Escrow Shares to be released will be equal to the case proceeds, reduced by certain tax and litigation-related costs and expenses, divided by $27.7417. The escrow will expire on4851December 20, 2002, subject to extensions in certain circumstances. If not all Escrow Shares are released prior to such expiration, any remaining Escrow Shares will be returned to us for cancellation.The allegations made in the ASB case are similar to those asserted in other cases where the United States Supreme Court affirmed decisions holding the U.S. Government liable for breach of contract. However, no record has been established in these other cases which would indicate what, if any, damages we are entitled to receive in this case. Accordingly, the ultimate outcome of the ASB case is uncertain, and there can be no assurance that we will benefit financially from it. Generally, we expect to receive financial benefit only if the cash proceeds, after reduction for certain tax and litigation-related costs and expenses, exceed $333 million.
Coast Savings Financial, Inc. and Bank United Corp.
Prior to their acquisitions, Coast Savings Financial, Inc. and Bank United Corp. ("Bank United") had similar lawsuits against the U.S. Government. Generally, securities representing interests in these lawsuits were issued to Coast Savings Financial, Inc. and Bank United
Corp.shareholders. These securities, called contingent payment rights certificates, are currently traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbols CCPRZ and BNKUZ, respectively. We do not own a significant number of these securities.ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk isDime Bancorp, Inc.
In January 1995, Anchor Savings Bank FSB ("Anchor FSB"), filed suit against the
exposureU.S. Government for unspecified damages involving supervisory goodwill related toloss resultingits acquisition of eight troubled savings institutions fromchanges1982-1985. The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB ("Dime FSB") acquired Anchor FSB shortly after the case was brought and Dime FSB was subsequently merged into WMBFA ininterest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity pricesJanuary 2002.57
In 1997, Dime FSB moved for partial summary judgment as to the existence of a contract and
equity prices.the U.S. Government's breach of that contract in each of the related transactions. Theprimary market riskU.S. Government disputed the existence of a contract in each case, cross-moved for summary judgment and submitted a filing acknowledging that it was not aware of any affirmative defenses. In August 1997, the Court held a hearing on summary judgment motions in four other related cases and ruled in favor of the plaintiffs on all "common" issues. From April 1998 through July 1999, Dime FSB conducted discovery. In September 1999, the U.S. Government filed supplemental papers in support of its pending summary judgment motion. Dime FSB responded to such filings in early November 1999, at whichwe are exposed is interest rate risk. The majoritytime it again requested entry ofour interest rate risk arises from the instruments, positions and transactions entered into for purposes other than trading. They include loans, securities, deposits, borrowings, long-term debt and derivative financial instruments used for asset/summary judgment on liabilitymanagement. Interest rate risk occurs when assets and liabilities reprice or mature at different times or frequencies as market interest rates change. During the year, we implemented additional methodologies for analyzing interest rate risk. These included projecting net interest income based on parallel and non-parallel changesin its favor.In October 1999, Dime FSB filed expert reports claiming damages under three alternative theories. Dime FSB sought lost profits in the
yield curve. The resultsamount of $980 million, restitution damages in the amount of $681 million, and reliance damages in the amount of $446 million. In March 2000, the U.S. Government filed expert reports denying the existence of damages under any of theseanalyses are used as part of our overall framework for asset/liability management. Accordingly, we have changed our market risk analysis from a tabular presentationtheories.In March 2001, the Court heard oral argument on the pending summary judgment motions with respect to
a presentation of net interest income sensitivity. The table below indicates the sensitivity of pretax net interest income to interest rate movements. The comparative scenarios assume that interest rates rise or fall in even quarterly increments over the next twelve months for a total increase or decrease of 200 basis points. The interest rate scenarios are used for analytical purposes and do not necessarily represent management's view of future market movements. Our net interest income sensitivity profile as of year-end 2000 and 1999 is stated below:
GRADUAL CHANGE IN RATES ------------------------ -200BP +200BP -------- --------Net interest income change for the one-year period beginning: January 1, 2001........................................... 11.0% (12.4)% January 1, 2000........................................... 11.3% (11.6)%Our net interest income at risk position has not changed significantly year-over-year. Assumptions are made in modeling the sensitivity of net interest income. The simulation model captures expected prepayment behavior under changing interest rate environments. Additionally, the model captures the impact of interest rate caps and floors on adjustable-rate products. Assumptions regarding interest rate or balance behavior of non-maturity deposits reflect management's best estimate of future behavior. Sensitivity of new loan volume to market interest rate levels is included as well. We analyze additional interest rate scenarios, including more extreme rising and falling rate environments to support interest rate risk management. These additional scenarios also address the risk exposure in time periods beyond the twelve months captured in this net interest income sensitivity analysis. 4952 Management of Interest Rate Risk and Derivative Activities To mitigate interest rate risk, we use derivative instruments, such as interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements. At December 31, 2000, we had entered into interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements with notional values of $22.18 billion. Additionally, $13.20 billion of interest rate floors and $751 million of interest rate caps have been embedded within certain borrowings as of December 31, 2000. The majority of these derivative contracts embedded within the borrowings will not become effective until the first quarter of 2001 and beyond. Derivative instruments, if not used appropriately, can subject a company to unintended financial exposure. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excessthree of theamount recognized ineight institutions acquired by Dime FSB. It is not possible to predict whether theStatementCourt will grant any ofFinancial Condition. The contractDime FSB's motions for partial summary judgment or,notional amount of these instruments reflects the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments. Management, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, has established strict policiesif so, when it will schedule a trial on damages andguidelines for the use of derivative instruments. These instruments are not intendedany remaining liability issues.In December 2000, Dime Bancorp, Inc., Dime FSB's parent, distributed Litigation Tracking Warrants™ to
be used as techniques to generate earnings by speculating on the movements of interest rates, nor do we act as a dealer of these instruments. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -- Note 20: Interest Rate Risk Management." Our strategy is to use derivative instruments to hedge the repricing risk associated with deposits and borrowings. For example, we have entered into interest rate cap agreements to provide an additional layer of protection should interest rates on deposits and borrowings rise. Through the use of these agreements, management attempts to offset increases in interest expense related to these deposits and borrowings and effectively lengthen the repricing period. Thus, we have a degree of interest rate protection when interest rates increase because the interest rate cap agreements provide a mechanism for repricing the deposits and borrowings generally on pace with current market rates. There can be no assurance that interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements will provide us with protection in all scenarios or to the full extent of our exposure. During 2000, we entered into borrowing arrangements which contain embedded derivative instruments. These instruments included caps and floors. Interest rate floors are intended to hedge prepayment risk associated with our loans, MBS and MSR. With interest rate floors, we will receive cash flows when the interest rate index drops below certain levels (strike rate). The amount of the cash flows are calculated based on the difference between the strike rate and the index rate multiplied by the notional amount. Similarly, the interest rate caps provide us cash flows when the interest rate index exceeds the strike rate. Interest rate caps are intended to hedge repricing of liabilities and securities that are purchased to hedge MSR. We also hedge the risks associated with the mortgage pipeline. The mortgage pipeline consists of fixed-and adjustable-rate SFR loans which will be sold in the secondary market. The risk with the mortgage pipeline is that interest rates might rise between the time the customer locks in the interest rate on the loan and the time the loan is sold. This period is usually 30 to 60 days. To hedge this risk, we execute forward sales agreements and option contracts. A forward sales agreement protects us in a rising interest rate environment since the sales price and delivery date have already been established. A forward sales agreement, however, is different from an option contract in that we are obligated to deliver the loan to the third party on the agreed upon future date. As a result, if the loans do not fund, we may not have the necessary assets to meet our commitment. Therefore, we would be required to purchase other assets, at current market prices, to satisfy the forward sales agreement. To mitigate this risk, we use fallout factors,its shareholders, which represent thepercentage of loans which are not expectedright toclose, when calculating the amount of forward sales agreementspurchase Common Stock equal in value toexecute. Counterparty Risk Our borrowing activities (including repurchase agreements) and derivative instruments generally involve an exchange of obligations with another financial institution, referred to in such transactions as a "counterparty." If a counterparty were to default, we could be exposed to a financial loss. A loss would result to the extent that the value85% of thecollateral or funds held by the counterparty exceeded the value of the collateral or funds held by us. In order to minimize the risk, all counterparties are evaluated for financial strength on at least an annual basis. Exposure limits are then established for each counterparty. Our primary focus is to deal with well-established, reputablenet after-tax proceeds, if any, from this lawsuit.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of Washington Mutual, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,
20002001 and1999,2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,2000,2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America./s/As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, on January 1, 2001.

19992000 and19981999 financial statements to conform to the20002001 presentation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.On October 1, 1998, H.F. Ahmanson & Company ("Ahmanson") merged with and into WMI and all of the subsidiaries of Ahmanson, including Home Savings of America, FSB ("Home Savings"), became subsidiaries of the Company (the "Ahmanson Merger"). The Ahmanson Merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. When Washington Mutual acquires a company through a pooling of interests, current and prior period financial statements are restated to include the accounts of merged companies. As a result, the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto are presented as if the companies were merged as of the beginning of the earliest period shown. Previously reported balances of the merged companies have been reclassified to conform to the Company's presentation and restated to give effect to the combinations. On February 13, 1998, Ahmanson had acquired Coast Savings Financial, Inc. ("Coast").On October 1, 1999, Washington Mutual acquired Long Beach Financial Corporation, parent of Long Beach
Mortgage. BothMortgage Company ("Long Beach Mortgage"). In 2001, Washington Mutual acquired Bank United Corp., Fleet Mortgage Corp., and the mortgage operations of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
accounting principlesin the United States of America 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, U.S. Treasury bills, overnight investments, commercial paper and repurchase agreements with an initial maturity of three months or less.

Held-to-Maturity Securities
Investments classified as held to maturity are accounted for at amortized cost because the Company has both the positive intent and the ability to hold those securities to maturity. Other than temporary declines in fair value are recognized in the income statement as loss from securities. With the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, the Company reclassified its held-to-maturity MBS and investment portfolios to available-for-sale.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Securities not classified as held to maturity are considered to be available for sale. Gains and losses realized on the sale of these securities are based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses from available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported (net of tax) in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. Other than temporary declines in fair value are recognized in the income statement as loss from securities.

Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale include originated and
purchasedpurchased/correspondent mortgage loans intended for sale in the secondary market. The Company enters into forward sales agreements to manage interest rate risk associated with loanssoheld for sale. Loans held for sale with designated fair value hedges arecarriedrecorded at fair value. Loans held for sale without designated fair value hedges are recorded at the lower ofnetaggregate cost or fairvalue on an aggregate basis.value.
Loans Held in Portfolio
Loans held in portfolio are recorded at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan costs or fees and any discounts or premiums on purchased loans. Deferred costs or fees, discounts and premiums are amortized using the interest method over the contractual term of the loan adjusted for actual prepayments.
Management generally ceases to accrue interest income on all loans that become four payments delinquent and reverses all interest accrued up to that time. Thereafter, interest income is accrued only if and when, in management's opinion, projected cash proceeds are deemed sufficient to repay both principal and interest. All loans for which interest is not being accrued are referred to as loans on nonaccrual status.
Commercial real estate loans over $1 million and all commercial business and builder construction loans are individually evaluated for impairment. Management generally identifies loans to be evaluated for impairment when such loans are on nonaccrual status or have been restructured. However, not all nonaccrual loans are impaired. Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due, including scheduled interest payments. Restructured loans are evaluated for impairment based on the contractual terms specified by the original loan agreement, rather than the contractual terms specified by the restructuring agreement. Loans performing under restructured terms beyond a specified performance period are classified as accruing, but may still be deemed impaired. Factors involved in determining impairment include, but are not limited to, the financial condition of the borrower, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. All other loans are reviewed on a collective basis.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The allowance for loan and lease losses represents management's estimate of credit losses inherent in the Company's loan and lease portfolios as of the balance sheet date. Management performs
periodicregular, ongoing reviews of its portfolios to identify these inherent losses, and to assess the overall probability of collection of these portfolios. Theprocess by whichCompany monitors delinquency, default, and loss rates, among other factors impacting portfolio risk. The Company's methodology for assessing the appropriate level of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the allocated allowance, specific allowances for identified loans and the unallocated allowance.The allocated allowance is
determined encompassesassessed on both homogeneous and non-homogeneous loan portfolios. The amount is calculated by applying loss factors to the outstanding loan balances and commitments of these portfolios. Loss factors are based on analysis of the historical performance of each loan category and an assessment ofcurrent economic andportfolio trends and conditions, as well as specific risk factors impacting the loan and lease portfolios.The Company monitors delinquency, default, and loss rates, among other factors impactingEach homogeneous portfolio,risk. In addition, non-homogeneoussuch as single family residential or specialty mortgage finance, is evaluated collectively.Non-homogeneous type loans, such as commercial business,
andcommercial real estate and builder SFR construction loans, are analyzed and segregated by risk according to the Company's internal risk rating69
scale. These loans are reviewed on an individual loan basis
in order to identify impairmentandforloss factors are applied based on the risk ratingpurposes. 6164 WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)assigned to the loan. A specific allowance may be assigned to non-homogeneous type loans that have been individually determined to be impaired. Any specific allowance considers all available evidence including, as appropriate, the present value of payments expected to be received, or for loans that are solely dependent on collateral for repayment, the estimated fair value of the collateral.The unallocated allowance is based upon management's evaluation and judgment of various conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of the allocated and specific allowances. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated allowance may include existing general economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Company, credit quality trends, collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle, bank regulatory examination results and findings of the Company's internal credit examiners.
When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible, these amounts are charged off against the allowance for loan and lease losses. The existence of some or all of the following criteria will generally confirm that a loss has been incurred: the loan is significantly delinquent and the borrower has not evidenced the ability or intent to bring the loan current; the Company has no recourse to the borrower, or if it does, the borrower has insufficient assets to pay the debt; or the fair value of the loan collateral is significantly below the current loan balance and there is little or no near-term prospect for improvement.
Consumer
financeloans secured by collateral other than real estate are charged off if and when they exceed a specified number of days contractually delinquent (180 days for substantially all loans). Single-family residential loans and consumer loans secured by real estate are written down to the fair value of the underlying collateral (less projected cost to sell) when they are contractually delinquent 120 days.The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond the Company's control. These factors may result in losses or recoveries differing significantly from those provided for in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Allowance for Recourse Obligations The Company records an allowance for recourse obligations to cover inherent losses on loans securitized
Restructured Loans
In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and
retained in its mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") portfolio for whichthe Companyretainsmakes certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, thecreditloan is classified as a restructured (accruing) loan. Loans restructured at a rate equal to or greater than that of a new loan with comparable risk at the time the contract is modified may be excluded from the impairment assessment and may cease tocover estimated losses onbe considered impaired loansand MBS sold to third parties for which a recourse obligation exists. A regular review is performed to determinein theadequacy of the allowance for recourse obligations. The review is substantially similarcalendar years subsequent to thereviewrestructuring if they are not impaired based on the modified terms.Generally, a nonaccrual loan that is restructured remains on nonaccrual for a period of six months to demonstrate that the
adequacy ofborrower can meet theallowance for loan and lease losses, because the sold loans and securities, as to which a recourse obligation exists, are similarrestructured terms. However, performance prior to theCompany's single-family residential ("SFR")restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are included in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loanportfolio. Increasesbeing returned to accrual at theallowance for recourse obligations are recordedtime of restructuring or after a shorter performance period. If the borrower's ability to meet the revised payment schedule is uncertain, the loan remains classified asloss from securities.a nonaccrual loan.70
Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets include properties acquired through foreclosure that are transferred at fair value, less estimated selling costs, which represents the new recorded basis of the property. Subsequently, properties are evaluated and any additional declines in value are recorded in current period earnings. The amount the Company ultimately recovers from foreclosed assets may differ substantially from the net carrying value of these assets because of future market factors beyond the Company's control or because of changes in the Company's strategy for sale or development of the property.
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
SFAS No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, was issued in September 2000 and replaces SFAS No. 125 of the same title. This
statementStatement revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral,and requires certain disclosures,but carries over most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. Thisstatement isStatement was effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001 andiswas effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.The adoption of this statement bySee Notes to theCompany is not expected to materially affect the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. See "Notes toConsolidated Financial Statements--– Note 3:Securities"Securities", and Note 5:Mortgage"Mortgage Banking Activities."In connection with securitizationsWashington Mutual securitizes, sells and services interests in single family residential, specialty mortgage finance, and commercial real estate loans. When the Company sells or

stratum-by-stratum basis, with any impairmentsummary of the MSR strata used by the Company to assess impairment:
Loan Type Rate Band ARM All loans Conventional 0.00% to 7.49% Conventional 7.50% to 8.99% Conventional 9.00% and above Government 0.00% to 7.49% Government 7.50% to 8.99% Government 9.00% and above Private 0.00% to 7.49% Private 7.50% to 8.99% Private 9.00% and above Master servicing All loans Specialty home loans All loans Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for each
impairedindividual stratum.For purposesThe valuation allowance is adjusted to reflect the amount, if any, by which the cost basis ofmeasuring impairment,the MSR for a given stratum exceeds its fair value. Any fair value in excess of the cost basis of MSR for a given stratum is not recognized.Because quoted market prices from active markets are
stratifiednot readily available, a present value cash flow model is used to estimate the value which the MSR could be sold for in the open market as of the valuation date. While the Company's model estimates a value, the specific value used is based on a variety of factors, such as documented observable data and anticipated changes in market conditions.The most important assumptions used in the
following characteristicsMSR valuation model are anticipated loan prepayments and discount rates. Other assumptions such as the cost to service the underlying loans, foreclosure costs, ancillary income and float rates, are used in determining the value of theunderlying loans: fixed-rate mortgage loans by loan type (conforming, nonconforming, and government) and by coupon rate (less than 7.5%, between 7.5% and less than 9.0%, and greater than or equal to 9.0%) and adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans.MSRs.The

Inorder to determineaddition, independent broker appraisals of the fair value of the MSR portfolio are obtained at least annually to confirm the reasonableness of the value generated by the MSR valuation model.
Investment in FHLBs
The Company's investment in the stock of the FHLBs is carried at cost and is classified as restricted, as the Company
uses a model that estimatescan only sell stock back to thepresentFHLBs at par valueof expected future cash flows. Assumptions used in the model include market discount ratesor to other member banks. Dividends are included within other interest andanticipated prepayment speeds. The prepayment speeds are determined in relation to forecasted yield curves of selected government securities. In addition, the Company uses market comparables for estimates of the cost of servicing per loan, inflation rates, ancillary income per loan and default rates.dividend income.
Premises and Equipment
Land, buildings, leasehold improvements and equipment are carried at amortized cost. Buildings and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or lease terms. The Company reviews
72
buildings, leasehold improvements, and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when the estimated undiscounted cash flows for the property
isare less than its carrying value. If identified, an impairment loss is recognized through a charge to earnings based on the fair value of the property.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets represent the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired by the Company. The excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired consists of goodwill, core deposit premiums, and other intangible assets. Substantially all of the Company's goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over 10 to 25 years. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews its intangible assets periodically for other-than-temporary impairment. If such impairment is indicated, recoverability of the asset is assessed based on expected undiscounted net cash flows.
As of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which eliminates the amortization of goodwill relating to past and future acquisitions. See further discussion under the headingRecently Issued Accounting Standards.
Repurchase Agreements
The Company enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Under these arrangements, the Company transfers legal control over the assets but still retains effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the assets. As a result, repurchase agreements are accounted for as financing arrangements and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition while the dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements remains in the respective asset accounts.
TheseThose securities are classified as encumbered.6366 WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company's income tax returns. The comprehensive deferred tax provision for the year is equal to the change in the deferred tax asset or liability from the beginning to the end of the year. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in
incomethe tax provision in the period that includes the enactment date of the change.TheFor tax reporting purposes, the Company reports income and expenses using the accrual method of accounting and files a consolidated tax return on that basis as well. The Company's federal tax filings generally include all subsidiaries.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share ("EPS") are presented under two formats: basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (after deducting dividends on preferred stock) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (after deducting dividends on preferred stock) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, plus the impact of dilutive potential common shares, such as stock options.
Derivative Instruments The Company uses derivative instruments, such as interest rate exchange agreements, interest rate cap agreements, and forward sales contracts of financial instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk. All of the Company's derivative instruments are used for purposes other than trading. Interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements are used only if they have the effect of changing the interest rate characteristics of the assets or liabilities to which they are designated. Such effect is measured through ongoing correlation or effectiveness tests. Interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements are designated against interest-earning assets, deposits and borrowings. Interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements designated against deposits and borrowings are reported at historical cost. The interest differential paid or received on interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements is recorded as an adjustment to interest income or interest expense. The purchase premium of interest rate cap agreements is capitalized and amortized as a component of interest income or interest expense over the original term of the interest rate cap agreement. No purchase premiums are paid at the time of entering into interest rate exchange agreements. From time to time, the Company terminates interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements prior to maturity. Such circumstances arise if, in the judgment of management, such instruments no longer effectively meet policy objectives. Usually such instruments are within one year of maturity. Gains and losses from terminated interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements are recognized, consistent with the gain or loss on the asset or liability associated with the agreement. When the asset or liability is not sold or paid off, the gains or losses are deferred and amortized as additional interest income or interest expense over the original terms of the agreements or the remaining life of the designated asset or liability, whichever is less. From time to time, the Company redesignates interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements between interest-earning assets and deposits and borrowings. Such redesignations are recorded at fair value at the time of transfer. 6467 WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The Company may write covered call options on its available-for-sale portfolio. If the option is exercised, the option fee is recorded as an adjustment to the gain or loss on the sale of the security. If the option is not exercised, the option fee is recognized as fee income.

Derivatives
On January 1, 2001, the Company
recorded a transition adjustment representing a $0.6 million loss ($0.4 million net of tax) related toadopted theimplementationprovisions of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and HedgingActivities.

Certain derivative instruments can qualify as a hedge offorward loan sale contracts for which hedge accounting was not elected. These losses were partially offset by unrealized gains representingchanges in the fair value of recognized assets and liabilities or firm commitments or changes in expected future cash flows. In a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative recognized in earnings are offset by recognizing changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable tooriginate loansthe risk being hedged. To the extent that the hedging derivative is ineffective, the changes in fair value willbe held for sale when originated.not offset and the difference is reflected in earnings. In a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative is recorded initially in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income subsequently are reclassified into earnings during the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings. TheCompany considers these commitments to be derivativeschange in fair value of any ineffective portion of the hedging derivative is recognized in earnings immediately.The initial application of SFAS No. 133 did not have a significant impact on earnings and

Since January 1, 1996, MSRarehave been capitalized for all securitizations of loansoccurring after January 1, 1996thatarewere either sold or retained in the available-for-sale securities portfolio.
Hedging Activities
The Company enters into derivative contracts to hedge certain assets, liabilities, and probable forecasted transactions. To qualify for hedge accounting, the derivatives and related hedged items must be designated as a hedge. The hedge must be effective in reducing the designated risk. The effectiveness of the derivatives is evaluated on an initial and ongoing basis using quantitative measures of correlation.
Interest rate swaps wherein the Company receives a fixed rate of interest are designated as fair value hedges against fixed-rate liabilities. The fair value of these derivatives is reported in other assets or other liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative and offsetting changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk of the hedged item are recorded in interest expense on borrowings. Any
74
portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as a hedge that is deemed ineffective is recorded in earnings.
Interest rate swaps wherein the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and stand alone interest rate caps are designated as cash flow hedges against variable-rate liabilities. Similarly, the Company uses stand alone swaptions to change the interest rate characteristics of certain probable forecasted transactions. Stand alone interest rate swaptions, in which the Company has an option to engage in an interest rate swap, are designated as cash flow hedges of anticipated issuances of debt. For these cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of derivatives that offset changes in cash flows of a hedged item are recorded initially in other comprehensive income. The fair value of these derivatives is reported in other assets or other liabilities. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are subsequently reclassified to interest expense on borrowings during the same period in which the hedged item affects interest expense. In the event that the probable forecasted transactions are no longer likely to occur, the amount recorded in other comprehensive income is immediately recognized in other income.
Certain interest rate floors, caps and swaptions are embedded within financial instruments, such as borrowings. These embedded derivatives are used as economic hedges of MSR, floating rate debt and forecasted borrowings. Embedded derivatives are not required to be accounted for separately as derivatives under SFAS No. 133, provided that they are considered to be clearly and closely related to the host contract. If such borrowings are terminated early, the resulting gain or loss is required to be reported as an extraordinary item.
Loans held for sale expose the Company to interest rate risk. The Company manages the interest rate risk associated with loans held for sale by entering into forward sales agreements. Certain of these forward sales agreements are accounted for as fair value hedges of loans held for sale. The fair value of these forward sales agreements is recorded in other assets and other liabilities. The changes in the fair value of these forward sales agreements are recorded in gain from mortgage loans. In these cases, the change in fair value of the hedged loans is also recorded in gain from mortgage loans.
Commitments to Originate Loans
The Company enters into commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. Therefore, they are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in gain from mortgage loans. For purposes of determining their fair value, the Company performs a net present value analysis of the anticipated cash flows associated with the rate lock commitments. Included in the net present value analysis are anticipated cash flows associated with the expected retained servicing of the loans. Rate lock commitments expose the Company to interest rate risk. The Company manages that risk by acquiring forward sales contracts and purchased put options which are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in gain from mortgage loans.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2001, SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets were issued. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS No. 142 became effective January 1, 2002 and eliminates the amortization of goodwill relating to past and future acquisitions (except that goodwill related to business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and consummated before January 1, 2002 was not required to be amortized). Instead, goodwill is subject to an impairment assessment that must be performed upon adoption of SFAS No.

This acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill of approximately$7 billion.$330 million. The final purchase price of the mortgage operations of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the subject of ongoing litigation. The values assigned to assets received and liabilities assumed for this transaction, including the amount of goodwill recorded, are subject to the outcome of the litigation.On February 9, 2001,
Washington Mutual, Inc.the Company acquired Texas-based Bank United Corp., for a purchase price of approximately $1.4 billion. With this acquisition, the Company acquired approximately $12 billion in loans held in portfolio, $1 billion in securities, $8 billion in deposits and $8 billion in FHLB advances. This acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $980 million. The Company issued 63.9 million shares of its common stock to acquire Bank United Corp.On June 1, 2001, the Company acquired Fleet Mortgage Corp., a unit of FleetBoston Financial Corp., and certain other mortgage lending operations of Fleet National Bank for approximately $7.5 billion in cash. With this acquisition, the Company acquired approximately $4 billion in loans held for sale and $3 billion in mortgage servicing rights. This acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill of approximately $140 million.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill created from these acquisitions was being amortized over 20 years.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which
mightmay magnify or counteract the sensitivities.Static pool losses are calculated by summing the actual and projected future credit losses and dividing them by the original balance of each pool of assets. As of December 31, 2000, static pool losses for all Adjustable Non-Government Sponsored Enterprise assets and Specialty Mortgage Finance assets that were valued using specific credit loss assumptions were not material.The table below summarizes certain cash flows received from and paid to securitization trusts:

Prior to enactment of the Job Protection Act, savings institutions were permitted to compute their tax bad debt deduction through use of either the reserve method or the percentage of taxable income method. The Job Protection Act repealed both of these methods for large savings institutions and allows bad debt deductions based only on actual current losses. While repealing the reserve method for computing tax bad debt deductions, the Job Protection Act allows thrifts to retain their
94
existing base year bad debt reserves but requires that reserves in excess of the balance at December 31, 1987 be recaptured into taxable income. The tax liability for this recapture is included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
The base year reserve is recaptured into taxable income only in limited situations, such as in the event of certain excess distributions or complete liquidation. None of the limited circumstances requiring recapture are contemplated by the Company. The amount of the Company's tax bad debt reserves subject to recapture in these circumstances approximates
$2.01$2.06 billion at December 31,2000.2001. Due to the remote nature of events that may trigger the recapture provisions, no tax liability has been established in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.During 1998,In January 2002, the Company completed a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") for Great Western for
1987 and 1986, and Washington Mutual for 1993 and 1992. During 1999, the Service completed its examination of Great Western fortax years 1988 through 1992.

All issues have been resolved except for one, for which a tentative settlement at Appeals is under review by theAppeals Branch.Joint Committee on Taxation. The Service's National Office has issued an adverse ruling on this issue. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any benefit with respect to this issue.As of December 31,

Unfunded commitments to extend credit totaled $29.63 billion at December 31, 2001 and $13.03 billion at December 31, 2000. In order to meet the needs of its customers, Washington Mutual also issues direct-pay, standby and other letters of credit. The credit risk in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Washington Mutual holds collateral to support letters of credit when deemed necessary. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, outstanding letters of credit issued by Washington Mutual totaled $434 million and $327 million.

In August 1999, Bank United Corp. issued 2,000,000 shares of 8% Corporate Premium Income Equity Securities ("PIES") for a price of $50 per Corporate PIES or $100 million in aggregate. As a result of the Bank United Corp. merger on February 9, 2001, each Bank United PIES was converted into a Washington Mutual PIES with an estimated fair value of $102 million. Each of the Corporate PIES consists of a purchase contract for shares of Company common stock and a share of redeemable preferred stock. At December 31, 2001 all of the 2,000,000 authorized shares were issued and outstanding.
The purchase contract obligates the holder of the Corporate PIES to purchase shares of Company common stock in August 2002. Upon purchase of the common stock, the holder of the Corporate PIES must remit $50 per Corporate PIES owned in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock and one Contingent Payment Rights Certificate(1) for each 1.3 shares of Washington Mutual Common stock the holder is obligated to purchase. The number of shares of common stock ultimately issued to the holder will depend on the average closing price of the common stock over a 20-day trading period preceding the time of purchase.
The redeemable preferred stock, which has a liquidation preference of $50 per share and certain voting rights, may be redeemed at the option of the Company on or after October 16, 2002 at 100% of its liquidation preference and is subject to mandatory redemption in full in August 2004. The redeemable preferred stock will be pledged to the Company to secure the holders' obligation to purchase the common stock under the purchase contract. The Company

WMI is not subject to regulatory capital requirements. However, each of its subsidiary depository institutions is subject to various regulatory capital requirements. WMB is subject to FDIC capital requirements while WMBFA and WMBfsb are subject to Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") capital requirements.
The capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital. The FDIC requires WMB to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total
commoncapital to risk-weighted assets as well as Tier 1 capital to average assets. The OTS requires WMBFA and WMBfsb to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, as well as Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets.The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") created a statutory framework that increased the importance of meeting applicable capital requirements. FDICIA established five capital categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. An institution's category depends upon where its capital levels are in relation to relevant capital measures, which include a risk-based capital measure, a leverage ratio capital measure, a tangible equity ratio measure, and certain other factors. The federal banking agencies (including the FDIC and the OTS) have adopted regulations that implement this statutory framework. Under these regulations, an institution is treated as well capitalized if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 10.00% or more, its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 6.00% or more, its leverage capital ratio is 5.00% or more and it is not subject to any federal supervisory order or directive to meet a specific capital level.
Under these same regulations, an institution is treated as adequately capitalized if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8.00% or more, its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 4.00% or more, its leverage capital ratio is 4.00% or more, and it is not subject to any federal supervisory order or directive to meet a specific capital level. Additionally, any institution with a tangible equity ratio of 2.00% or less will be considered critically undercapitalized.
Undercapitalized institutions are subject to certain prompt corrective action requirements, regulatory controls and restrictions, which become more extensive as an institution becomes more severely
101
undercapitalized. Failure by any of the Company's depository institutions to comply with applicable capital requirements would, if unremedied, result in restrictions on its activities and lead to regulatory enforcement actions against such institutions including, but not limited to, the issuance of a capital directive to ensure the maintenance of required capital levels. FDICIA requires the federal banking regulators to take prompt corrective action with respect to depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. Additionally, FDIC or OTS approval of any regulatory application filed for their review may be dependent on compliance with capital requirements.
The actual regulatory capital ratios calculated for WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb, along with the minimum capital amounts and ratios for the minimum regulatory requirement and the minimum amounts and ratios required to be categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action were as follows:

Management believes that WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb individually met all capital adequacy requirements, as of December 31, 2001, to which they were subject. Additionally, as of the most recent notifications from the FDIC (for WMB) and the OTS (for WMBFA and WMBfsb), the FDIC and OTS individually categorized WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, a bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 or leverage capital ratios as set forth in the table above. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed the well capitalized status of WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb.
WMI's principal sources of funds are cash dividends
of $70 million in 1998. No common cash dividends werepaid to it byacquired companies in 1999 or 2000. In addition to being influenced by legal, regulatoryits banking andeconomic restrictions,other subsidiaries, investment income and borrowings. WMI's ability to pay dividends is also predicated on the ability of its subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends to WMI.TheseFederal and state law limits the ability of a depository institution, such as WMB, WMBFA or WMBfsb, to pay dividends or make other capital distributions.Washington state law prohibits WMB from declaring or paying a dividend greater than its retained earnings if doing so would cause its net worth to be reduced below (i) the amount required for the protection of preconversion depositors or (ii) the net worth requirements, if any, imposed by the State Director.
103
OTS regulations limit the ability of savings associations such as WMBFA and WMBfsb to pay dividends and make other capital distributions. WMBFA and WMBfsb, as subsidiaries
are subjectof a savings and loan holding company, must file an application with the OTS at least 30 days before the proposed declaration of a dividend or approval of the proposed capital distribution by its board of directors. In addition, a savings association must obtain prior approval from the OTS if it fails tolegal,meet certain regulatoryandconditions, if, after giving effect to the proposed distribution, the association's capital distributions in a calendar year would exceed its year-to-date net income plus retained net income for the preceding two years or the association would not be at least adequately capitalized or if the distribution would violate a statute, regulation, regulatory agreement or a regulatory condition to which the association is subject.Our retained earnings at December 31, 2001 included a pre-1988 thrift bad debt
covenant restrictions on theirreserve for tax purposes of $2.06 billion for which no federal income taxes have been provided. In the future, if the thrift bad debt reserve is used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses, or if any of the banking subsidiaries no longer qualifies as a bank, we will incur a federal income tax liability, at the then prevailing corporate tax rate, to the extent of such subsidiaries' pre-1988 thrift bad debt reserve. As a result, our ability to pay dividends in excess of current earnings may be limited.Note 18: Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Stock Option Plans
On March 8, 1984, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption of the 1983 incentive stock option plan, providing for the award of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options to certain officers of the Company at the discretion of the Board of Directors. On April 19, 1994, the Company's shareholders approved the adoption of the 1994 stock option plan, which was subsequently amended and restated as of February 15, 2000 (the "1994 Plan") in which the right to purchase common stock of WMI may be granted to officers, directors, consultants and advisers of the Company. The 1994 Plan is generally similar to the 1983 plan, which terminated according to its terms in 1993. The 1994 Plan does not affect any options granted under the 1983 plan.
Under the 1994 Plan, the exercise price of the option must at least equal the market value per share of WMI's common stock on the date of the grant. The 1994 Plan originally provided for the granting of options for a maximum of 27 million common shares. During 2000, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the maximum number of common shares available for grant to 45 million.
WAMU Shares
On September 16, 1997, December 15, 1998 and February 13, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of broad-based stock option plans called "WAMU Shares." These plans provide for awards of nonqualified stock options to all eligible employees who were employed by the Company on September 1, 1997, January 4, 1999 and February 12, 2001.
Generally, eligible full-time and part-time employees on the award dates were granted options to purchase shares of WMI common stock. All grants were made using the fair market value of WMI's common stock on designated dates, and all options vest two years after the award date.
104
For each plan, the award date, number of options per employee and maximum number of options was as follows:
WAMU Shares WAMU Shares II WAMU Shares III Award date September 1, 1997 January 4, 1999 February 12, 2001 Number of options per employee: Full-time 225 150 150 Part-time 113 75 75 Maximum number of options 4,950,000 4,950,000 5,064,000 Stock options under all stock plans were generally exercisable on a phased-in schedule over one to three years, depending upon the terms of the grant, and expire three to ten years from the grant date. Options to purchase 17,889,901 and 15,067,550 shares of common stock were fully exercisable at December 31, 2001 and 2000.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the terms of the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), an employee may purchase WMI common stock at a 15% discount without paying brokerage fees or commissions on purchases. The Company pays for the program's administrative expenses. The plan is open to all employees who are at least 18 years old, have completed at least one year of service, and work at least 20 hours per week. Participation can be by either payroll deduction or lump sum payments with a maximum annual contribution of 10% of each employee's previous year's eligible cash compensation. Under the ESPP, dividends are automatically reinvested.
SFAS No. 123: Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures its employee stock-based compensation arrangements under the provisions of the AICPA Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans and its ESPP. Had compensation cost for the Company's compensation plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income attributable to common stock and net income per common share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
Year Ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 (dollars in millions, except per share amounts) Net income attributable to common stock Basic: As reported $ 3,107 $ 1,899 $ 1,817 Pro forma 3,079 1,880 1,803 Diluted: As reported 3,107 1,899 1,817 Pro forma 3,079 1,880 1,803 Net income per common share Basic: As reported $ 3.65 $ 2.37 $ 2.12 Pro forma 3.62 2.35 2.10 Diluted: As reported 3.59 2.36 2.11 Pro forma 3.56 2.34 2.09 106
Equity Incentive Plan
The Equity Incentive Plan (previously named the Restricted Stock Plan) permits grants of restricted stock, and awards denominated in units of stock ("performance shares"), with or without performance-based vesting restrictions, for the benefit of all employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company. The maximum aggregate number of shares of stock that may be issued is 18,112,683, and the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued subject to awards that vest solely on continuous service is 9,000,000. Restricted stock and units of stock accrue dividends. All canceled or forfeited shares become available for future grants.
Upon the grant of restricted stock awards, shares are issued to a trustee who releases them to recipients when the restrictions lapse. At the date of grant, unearned compensation is recorded as an offset to stockholders' equity and is amortized as compensation expense over the restricted period. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company granted 536,169, 1,026,735 and 712,340 shares of restricted stock in 2001, 2000 and 1999. The balance of unearned compensation related to these restricted shares as of December 31, 2001 was $22 million.
Performance shares awarded generally vest at the end of a three-year period, and the actual shares delivered can range from zero to 250% of the shares awarded, depending on the degree to which the performance objectives are met. Under the plan, the target number of performance shares awarded was 423,027 and 344,955 in 2001 and 2000. The value of performance shares awarded is determined annually based on the Company's operating performance, as defined in the plan, and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period.
The total compensation expense recognized for the Equity Incentive Plan was $27 million in 2001, $21 million in 2000, and $9 million in 1999.
Bank United Plans
In connection with the acquisition of Bank United Corp., the Company assumed the Bank United Corp. 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively the "Bank United Plans"), under which incentive options and nonqualified options to purchase common stock, restricted common stock and other performance awards, may be granted to officers, employees and consultants. Options under the Bank United Plans generally expire ten years from the date of grant, and vest over varying periods that were determined at grant. All options granted under the Bank United Plans included a limited stock appreciation right, which entitle the holder to surrender the vested and exercisable option for cash following the closing of an acquisition. With the Company's acquisition of Bank United Corp., the Company assumed approximately 6.6 million options to purchase Bank United Corp. common stock, which were converted into options to purchase Washington Mutual, Inc. common stock. During 2001, approximately 6.2 million of the options assumed were exercised.
In October 2000, the 1994 Shareholder Rights Plan expired in accordance with its terms. On December 19, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a new Shareholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of common stock to shareholders of record on January 4, 2001. The rights have certain anti-takeover effects. They are intended to discourage coercive or unfair takeover tactics and to encourage any potential acquirer to negotiate a price fair to all shareholders. The rights may cause substantial dilution to an acquiring party that attempts to acquire the Company on terms not approved by the Board of Directors, but they will not interfere with any friendly merger or other business combination. The plan was not adopted in response to any specific effort to acquire control of the Company.
Preferred Stock There was no preferred stock (10,000,000 shares authorized) issued or outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The preferred stock previously outstanding was redeemed in 1998. 8588 WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC.

Additionally, as part of the business combination with Keystone Holdings, Inc. (the parent of ASB) 12 million shares of common stock, with an assigned value of $27.74 per share, were issued to an escrow for the benefit of the general and limited partners of Keystone Holdings, Inc. and the FRF and their transferees. The conditions upon which these shares are contingently issuable are based on the outcome of certain litigation and not based on earnings or market price. At December 31, 2000, the contingencies were not met, and therefore, the contingently issuable shares were not included in the above computations.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 17: REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS WMI is not subject to regulatory capital requirements. However, each of its subsidiary depository institutions is subject to various regulatory capital requirements. WMB is subject to FDIC capital requirements while WMBFA and WMBfsb are subject to Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") capital requirements. The capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital. The FDIC requires WMB to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets as well as Tier 1 capital to average assets. The OTS requires WMBFA and WMBfsb to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, as well as Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") created a statutory framework that increased the importance of meeting applicable capital requirements. FDICIA established five capital categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. An institution's category depends upon where its capital levels are in relation to relevant capital measures, which include a risk-based capital measure, a leverage ratio capital measure, and certain other factors. The federal banking agencies (including the FDIC and the OTS) have adopted regulations that implement this statutory framework. Under these regulations, an institution is treated as well capitalized if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 10.00% or more, its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 6.00% or more, its leverage capital ratio is 5.00% or more and it is not subject to any federal supervisory order or directive to meet a specific capital level. Under these same regulations, an institution is treated as adequately capitalized if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8.00% or more, its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 4.00% or more, its leverage capital ratio is 4.00% or more, and it is not subject to any federal supervisory order or directive to meet a specific capital level. Undercapitalized institutions are subject to certain prompt corrective action requirements, regulatory controls and restrictions, which become more extensive as an institution becomes more severely undercapitalized. Failure by any of the Company's depository institutions to comply with applicable capital requirements would, if unremedied, result in restrictions on its activities and lead to regulatory enforcement actions against such institutions including, but not limited to, the issuance of a capital directive to ensure the maintenance of required capital levels. FDICIA requires the federal banking regulators to take prompt corrective action with respect to depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. Additionally, FDIC or OTS approval of any regulatory application filed for their review may be dependent on compliance with capital requirements. 8891 WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The actual regulatory capital ratios calculated for WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb, along with the minimum capital amounts and ratios for the regulatory minimum requirement and the minimum amounts and ratios required to be categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action were as follows:

Management believes that WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb individually met all capital adequacy requirements, as of December 31, 2000, to which they were subject. Additionally, as of the most recent notifications from the FDIC (for WMB) and the OTS (for WMBFA and WMBfsb), the FDIC and OTS individually categorized WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, a bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 or leverage capital ratios as set forth in the table above. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed the well capitalized status of WMBFA, WMB and WMBfsb. Federal law requires that the federal banking agencies' risk-based capital guidelines take into account various factors including interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk, risks associated with nontraditional activities, and the actual performance and expected risk of loss of multi-family mortgages. In 1994, the federal banking agencies jointly revised their capital standards to specify that concentration of credit and nontraditional activities are among the factors that the agencies will consider in evaluating capital adequacy. In that year, the OTS and FDIC amended their risk-based capital standards with respect to the risk weighting of loans made to finance the purchase or construction of multi-family residences. The OTS adopted final regulations adding an interest rate risk component to the risk-based capital requirements for savings associations (such as WMBFA and WMBfsb), although implementation of the regulation has been delayed. Management believes that the effect of including such an interest rate risk component in the calculation of risk-adjusted capital would not cause WMBFA or WMBfsb to cease to be well capitalized. In June 1996, the FDIC and certain other federal banking agencies (not including the OTS) issued a joint policy statement providing guidance on prudent interest rate risk management principles. The agencies stated that they would 9093 WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) determine banks' interest rate risk on a case-by-case basis, and would not adopt a standardized measure or establish an explicit minimum capital charge for interest rate risk. NOTE 18: STOCK OPTION PLANS, EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN, AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLANS On March 8, 1984, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption of the 1983 incentive stock option plan, providing for the award of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options to certain officers of the Company at the discretion of the Board of Directors. On April 19, 1994, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption of the 1994 stock option plan (the "1994 Plan") in which the right to purchase common stock of WMI may be granted to officers, directors, consultants and advisers of the Company. The 1994 Plan is generally similar to the 1983 plan, which terminated according to its terms in 1993. The 1994 Plan does not affect any options granted under the 1983 plan. Under the 1994 Plan, on the date of the grant, the exercise price of the option must at least equal the market value per share of WMI's common stock. The 1994 Plan provides for the granting of options for a maximum of 30 million common shares. During 2000, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the maximum number of common shares available for grant from 18 million to 30 million. On September 16, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of a broad-based stock option plan called "WAMU Shares" as part of the Company's effort to build a unified team and to appropriately compensate its employees. This plan provides for an award of nonqualified stock options to all eligible employees who were employed by the Company on September 1, 1997. Generally, full-time employees have an option to purchase 150 shares of WMI common stock, while part-time employees have an option to purchase 75 shares. Employees who were designated to receive options under the 1994 Plan were excluded. All grants were made using the fair market value of WMI's common stock on September 1, 1997, and all options vested on September 1, 1999. The WAMU Shares plan provides for the granting of options for a maximum of 3,300,000 common shares. On December 15, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of a broad-based stock option plan ("WAMU Shares II") to provide a performance incentive and encourage stock ownership by employees of the Company. This plan provides for an award of nonqualified stock options to all eligible employees who were employed by the Company on January 4, 1999. Full-time employees received an option to purchase 100 shares of WMI common stock, while part-time employees received an option to purchase 50 shares. Employees who were designated to receive options under the 1994 Plan were excluded. These employee stock options were in addition to the Company's previous broad-based stock option plan described above. Options under the WAMU Shares II plan were granted at the fair market value of WMI's common stock on December 14, 1998, and all options vested on January 4, 2001. The WAMU Shares II plan provides for the granting of options up to a maximum of 3,300,000 common shares. Stock options under all stock plans were generally exercisable on a phased-in schedule over two to five years, depending upon the terms of the grant, and expire three to ten years from the grant date. Options to purchase 10,045,033 and 9,128,792 shares of common stock were fully exercisable at December 31, 2000 and 1999. 9194 WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC.

Upon grant, shares are issued to a trustee and are released to recipients when the restrictions lapse. The restrictions are based upon either a continuous service or performance requirement. At the date of grant, unearned compensation is recorded as an offset to stockholders' equity and is amortized as compensation expense over the restricted period. The balance of unearned compensation related to these restricted shares as of December 31, 2000 was $23 million.

Nonqualified Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Company, as successor to previously acquired companies, has assumed responsibility for nonqualified, noncontributory unfunded postretirement benefit plans, including retirement restoration plans for certain employees, a number of supplemental retirement plans for certain officers, and multiple outside directors' retirement plans. Benefits under the retirement restoration plans are generally determined by the Company. Benefits under the supplemental retirement plans are generally based on years of service. Benefits under the outside directors' retirement plans generally are payable for a period equal to the participants' service on the Board of Directors, with a lifetime benefit payable to participants with 15 or more years of service.
The Company, as successor to previously acquired companies, maintains unfunded defined benefit postretirement plans that make medical and life insurance coverage available to eligible retired employees and dependents. The expected cost of providing these benefits to retirees, their beneficiaries and covered dependents was accrued during the years each employee provided services.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT From timeDerivative Financial InstrumentsThe Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to
time,manage interest rate risk and reduce thefollowing strategieseffects that changing interest rates may have on net interest income. These instruments include interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and collars, interest rate corridors, swaptions, forward sales agreements and options. The contract or notional amount of a derivative, along with the other terms of the derivative, is used to determine the amounts to beusedexchanged between the parties. Because the contract or notional amount does not represent amounts exchanged by theCompanyparties, it is not a measure of loss exposure related toreduce its exposure to interest rate risk: the origination and purchase of ARMs and the purchase of adjustable-rate MBS; the sale of fixed-rate SFR loan production or fixed-rate MBS; andthe use ofderivative instruments, such as interest rate exchange agreements, interest rate cap agreements, forward sales contracts, interest rate floors, and purchased puts. The Company uses forward sales contracts to hedge itsderivatives nor of exposure toincreasing interest rates with respect to fixed-rate loans and loan commitments which the Company intends to sell in the secondary market. Forward sales contracts are used to sell fixed-rate loans at a future date for a specified price. Gains or losses are recognized at the time the contracts mature and are recorded as a component of gain on sale of loans. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had $2.36 billion and $635 million in forward sales contracts to hedge loan commitments, which were expected to close, and SFR loans, which were held for sale. Interest rate exchange agreements, interest rate cap agreements, and forward sales contractsliquidity risk.These derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such agreements. This risk consists primarily of the termination value of agreements where the Company is in a favorable position. Credit risk related to derivative financial instruments is considered and provided for separately from the allowance for loan and lease losses. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company's credit risk amount related to derivative financial instruments totaled $784 million and $175 million, respectively. The Company controls the credit risk associated with its various derivative agreements through counterparty credit review, counterparty

The Company uses such instruments to reduce the volatility of net interest income over an interest rate cycle. The Company does not invest in leveraged derivative instruments. During 2000, the Company did terminate interest rate exchange agreements and interest rate cap agreements. However, during 1999, the Company did not terminate any such agreements.

These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because an active secondary market does not exist for a portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates were based on management's judgment concerning future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. In addition, considerable judgment was required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
98101 WASHINGTON MUTUAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)Fair value estimates were determined for existing
balance sheet and off-balance sheetfinancial instruments, including derivative instruments, without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of certain assets and liabilities that were not considered financial instruments. Significant assets that were not considered financial instruments include premises and equipment, net tax assets, real estate held for investment, foreclosed assets and intangible assets. In addition, the value of the servicing rights for loans sold in which the MSR has not been capitalized was excluded from the valuation. Deposit intangibles were also excluded from the fair value estimates. Finally, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the valuations.Assets and liabilities whose carrying amounts approximate fair value include cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, investment in FHLBs, checking accounts, savings accounts and MMDAs, and federal funds purchased and commercial paper.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument as of December 31,

FHLB stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and is required to be sold back at its par value.Deposits

Note 23:
OPERATING SEGMENTSOperating SegmentsEffective January 1, 2001, the Company realigned its
business segments. Separately,lines of business. In connection with this realignment, the Company identified three major operating segments for the purpose of management reporting: Banking and Financial Services, Home Loans and Insurance Services and Specialty Finance. Unlike financial accounting, there isin the process of enhancing its segmentno comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management reporting. The management reporting processmethodologies and allocations and will be reporting segment results under these new methodologies and as realigned beginning withmeasures thefirst quarter of 2001. For the historical periods presented in these financial statements, the Company managed its business along five major operating segments: Consumer Banking, Mortgage Banking, Commercial Banking, Financial Services, and Consumer Finance. Although the Company did not consider the Treasury group to be an operating segment, it managed investments and interest rate risk. Generally, MBS that the Company purchased were allocated to Treasury. Each line of business is managed by a member of the Executive Committee under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer. The Executive Committee, which is the senior decision making group of the Company, is comprised of nine members including the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Other Executive Committee members are responsible for managing the centralized support functions. The financialperformance of thebusiness lines is measured by the Company's profitability reporting process, which utilizes various management accounting techniques to ensure that each business line's financial results reflect the underlying performance of that business. To better assess the profitability of its business lines, the Company generates segment results that include balances directly attributable to business line activities as well as balances that are allocated from traditionally undistributed units. In this way, management can better assess the fully burdened performance of a particular business line. Washington Mutual is constantly analyzing its line of business performance and developing better ways to measure profitability. Consumer banking includes deposit products (with their related fee income) and all consumer loan products originated through its financial centers. These consumer loan products include second equity mortgage loans, lines of credit, manufactured housing loans, automobile, boat and recreational vehicle loans, and education loans. The principal activities conducted by mortgage banking are the origination of SFR and residential construction loans, and all loan servicing activities. Commercial banking offers a full range of commercial banking products and services, including commercial business loans, multi-family residential loans and loans secured by nonresidential real estate. Financial Services offers a wide range of investment products to the Company's customers, including mutual funds, variable and fixed annuities and general securities. Consumer Finance offers direct consumer installment loans and retail sales financing, and manages the Company's portfolio of purchased specialty mortgage finance loans. Whenever feasible, revenues and expenses are directly assigned to business lines in evaluating their performance. Some of the loans originated by the Company's mortgage banking line of business are transferred to the consumer banking line of business at a transfer price that reflects the risk-adjusted value of such loans. Additionally, corporate overhead, centralized support costs, and other costs are allocated to each business lineoperating segments based onappropriate allocation methodologies. The organizationalthe management structure of the Company andthe allocation methodologies it employs result in business line financial results that areis not necessarilycomparable across companies. As such, Washington Mutual's business line performance may not be directlycomparable with similar informationfromfor any other financialinstitutions. 104107institution. The Company's operating segments are defined by product type and customer segments. The Company continues to enhance its segment reporting process methodologies. These methodologies are based on the Company's management reporting process, which assigns certain balance sheet and income statement items to the responsible operating segment. New methodologies that are now applied to the measurement of segment profitability include: (1) a funds transfer pricing system, which allocates net interest income between funds users and funds providers; (2) a calculation of the provision for loan and lease losses based on management's current assessment of the long-term, normalized net charge off ratio for loan products within each segment, which differs from the "losses inherent in the loan portfolio" methodology that is used to measure the allowance for loan and lease losses under generally accepted accounting principles; and (3) the utilization of an activity-based costing approach to measure allocations of operating expenses between the segments. Historical periods have been restated to conform to this new presentation.The Banking and Financial Services Group ("Banking & FS") offers a comprehensive line of consumer and business financial products and services to individuals and small and middle market businesses. In addition to traditional banking products, Banking & FS offers investment management and securities brokerage services, and distributes annuity products through the Company's subsidiaries and affiliates. The group's services are offered through multiple delivery channels, including financial centers, business banking centers, ATMs, the internet and 24-hour telephone banking centers.
The Home Loans and Insurance Services Group ("Home Loans Group") originates, purchases, sells, securitizes and services the Company's SFR mortgage assets. These mortgage loans may either be retained in the Company's portfolio, sold or securitized. The group's loan products are made available to consumers through various distribution channels, which include retail home loan centers, financial centers, correspondent financial institutions, prime and specialty wholesale home loan centers, consumer direct contact through call centers, and the internet. The Home Loans Group also includes the activities of Washington Mutual Insurance Services, Inc., an insurance agency that supports the mortgage lending process, as well as the insurance needs of consumers doing business with the Company. Additionally, the Home Loans Group manages the activities of the Company's captive reinsurance programs.
The Specialty Finance Group conducts operations through the Company's banking subsidiaries and Washington Mutual Finance. The Specialty Finance Group provides real estate secured financing primarily for multi-family properties. Commercial real estate lending and residential builder construction finance are also part of the group's secured financing activities. Syndicated lending, asset-based financing and mortgage banker financing are also part of the lending activities conducted by this group. This group offers commercial banking services through Washington Mutual Bank and Washington Mutual Bank, FA and conducts a consumer finance business through Washington Mutual Finance.
The Corporate Support/Treasury & Other category includes management of the Company's interest rate risk, liquidity, capital, borrowings and purchased investment securities portfolios. To the extent not allocated to the business segments, this category also includes the costs of the Company's legal, accounting, human resources and community reinvestment functions. Also reported in this category are the net impact of transfer pricing for loan and deposit balances, the difference between the normalized provision for loan
117
and lease losses for the operating segments and the Company's provision, the effects of inter-segment allocations of financial hedge gains and losses, and the elimination of inter-segment noninterest income and noninterest expense. The inter-segment allocation process includes elements that allow MSR interest rate risk to be hypothetically managed at the segment level with techniques that may differ, in some respects, with the actual techniques used for enterprise-level interest rate risk management.
