ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
o The Company recorded a net loss for third quarter 1997 of $127.0
million, compared with a net loss of $26.1 million during third quarter 1996.
Fully diluted loss per share was 53 cents for third quarter 1997 compared with a
loss of 15 cents for the third quarter 1996. For the nine months ended September
30, 1997, net income was $243.9 million or $0.90 per fully diluted share
compared with $312.9 million or $1.20 per fully diluted share for the first nine
months of 1996. For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company's return
on assets was negative 0.54% compared with negative 0.12% for the same period a
year earlier. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company's return
on assets was 0.36% compared with 0.48% for the same period in 1996.
The third quarter 1997 loss was the result of after-tax
transaction-related charges of $341.2 million as part of the Company's merger
with Great Western Financial Corporation ("GWFC"). Included in these charges
were $366.9 million of pretax transaction-related expenses and a pretax charge
of $100.0 million resulting from the planned securitization and subsequent
transfer to loans held for sale of $1.2 billion of higher-risk residential
mortgage loans originated by Great Western Bank, a Federal Savings Bank
("GWB"). The third quarter 1996 loss resulted from a special one-time Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") assessment resulting in an after-tax
charge of $200.0 million.
o On July 1, 1997, GWFC merged with and into a subsidiary of the
Company, and all of the subsidiaries of GWFC, including its banking subsidiary,
GWB, and its consumer finance subsidiary, Aristar, Inc. ("Aristar"), became
subsidiaries of the Company. GWFC was a financial services company with more
than 1,150 mortgage lending, retail banking and consumer finance offices
nationwide. GWB conducted most of its retail banking business through a branch
network concentrated in California and Florida. In addition, GWB had real
estate lending operations in 27 states with business concentrated in
California, Florida, Texas and Washington. Aristar operates in 23 states
primarily in the Southeast and Southwest regions of the United States
principally under the names Blazer Financial Services and City Finance Company.
At June 30, 1997, GWFC had assets of $43.8 billion and deposits of $27.8
billion.
o On September 3, 1997, the Company and SAFECO Corporation ("SAFECO") of
Seattle, Washington announced the formation of a strategic alliance to
distribute SAFECO annuities through Washington Mutual's banking network. As part
of the alliance, SAFECO will acquire the Company's insurance subsidiary, WM Life
Insurance Co. ("WM Life"). At September 30, 1997, WM Life had assets of $1.1
billion. The Company expects the transaction to be completed during the fourth
quarter of 1997 for an estimated after-tax gain of between $12.0 million and
$15.0 million.
o On October 1, 1997, GWB was merged with and into American Savings
Bank, F.A. ("American"). Simultaneously, the name of American was changed to
Washington Mutual Bank, FA ("WMBFA").

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME. The Company's net interest income increased to $655.7
million for the quarter and $1.97 billion for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 from $636.4 million and $1.93 billion for the same periods in 1996. The
increases in net interest income were primarily due to a 5% increase in average
interest-earning assets during the first nine months of 1997 compared with the
same period in 1996. Offsetting the Company's growth in average interest-earning
assets were declines in the net interest margin. The Company's net interest
margin was 2.98% for the quarter and 3.04% for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 compared with 3.09% and 3.12% for the same periods in 1996 (The net
interest margin measures the Company's annualized net interest income as a
percentage of average interest-earning assets.)
The Company's combined yield on loans and investments was 7.73% for the
quarter and 7.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with
7.71% and 7.77% for the same periods in 1996. Interest rates on deposits were
4.21% for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, up from 4.19% during third
quarter 1996 primarily as a result of competitive pressures in California. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, interest rates on deposits was 4.20%,
down from 4.24% for the same period in 1996. However, the Company's combined
cost of funds rose from the 1996 levels as a result of the Company's increased
reliance on borrowings, which typically are more expensive than deposits.
Average borrowings outstanding during the first nine months of 1997 were $31.9
billion, an increase of 21% from the same period in 1996 while average deposits
for the same period decreased 2%. In addition, the cost of borrowings increased
4 basis points during both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997.
As a result, the Company's combined cost of funds was 4.88% for the quarter and
4.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with 4.76% and 4.77%
for the same periods in 1996. The net interest spread was 2.85% for the quarter
and 2.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with 2.95% and
3.00% for the same periods in 1996. (The net interest spread is the difference
between the Company's yield on assets and its cost of funds.) The net interest
rate spread decreases in an increasing interest-rate environment as increases in
COFI, to which most interest-earning assets are tied, lag behind deposit and
borrowing rate increases.
OTHER INCOME. Other income was $111.1 million for the quarter and $487.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with $152.0 million and
$447.5 million for the same periods in 1996.
Depositor fees were $92.4 million for the quarter and $267.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, increases of 29% and 31% from the same
periods in 1996. The increases reflected expanded use of fee-based products,
implementation of a more active fee collection policy, and charges related to an
increase in retail checking accounts. The profitability of these accounts is
tempered somewhat by the amount of deposit account-related losses (included with
other expenses) incurred by the Company related to the increased number of
checking accounts. Management closely monitors the amount of such losses.
Securities and insurance commissions were $45.6 million for the quarter
and $136.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with
$43.1 million and $130.4 million for the same periods a year ago. The increase
was due in part to increased sales volumes resulting from the addition of
non-proprietary annuities and mutual funds in 1996.
Loan servicing fees were $22.1 million for the quarter and $65.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with $23.3 million and
$64.1 million for the same periods in 1996. Loans serviced for others increased
to $34.0 billion at September 30, 1997 from $31.4 billion one year earlier due
to additions to the servicing portfolio throughout 1996 and the first nine
months of 1997.
Other operating income increased to $41.2 million for the quarter and
$97.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $22.6 million
and $62.5 million during the same periods in 1996. Included in other operating
income during the first nine months of 1997 was income generated as a result
3
4
of the purchase of United Western Financial Group ("United Western") in January
1997, $6.0 million interest on a tax refund recorded during the third quarter of
1997 and several one-time adjustments, as well as an increase in general
business activity.
Gains on the sale of loans were $11.0 million for the quarter and $24.5
million for the first nine months of 1997 compared with $423,000 and $14.4
million for the same periods in 1996. During third quarter 1996, the Company
recorded a provision for loans sold with recourse of $8.7 million. The Company
sold approximately $3.3 billion of primarily fixed-rate mortgage loans during
the first nine months of 1997 compared with sales of $2.7 billion in 1996.
In September 1997, the Company recorded a $100.0 million loss related to
the planned securitization of approximately $1.2 billion of higher-risk
residential mortgage loans originated by GWB. This securitization was
completed early in the fourth quarter of 1997. See "Financial Position --
Investment Activities."
Sales of assets generated a net gain of $6.5 million during the quarter
ended September 30, 1997 compared with a net loss of $202,000 for the same
period in 1996. The net gain reported during the quarter ended September 30,
1997 included net gains on the sale of investment securities and a $1.4 million
gain on the sale of corporate property. For the nine months ended September
30,1997, the Company's net gain of $16.5 million included net gains on sales of
investment securities of $4.4 million and $8.3 million on sales of property and
equipment compared with a net loss of $3.7 million in the same period of 1996.
The 1996 loss included $6.9 million of securities transaction losses arising
from the Company's efforts to replace fixed-rate assets with adjustable-rate
assets at WMB, partially offset by a $4.1 million gain on the sale of Mutual
Travel, Inc.
Write-downs on loans underlying mortgage-backed securities with full or
limited recourse were $7.7 million and $20.2 million for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 compared with write-downs of $8.8 million and
$23.9 million for the same periods in 1996.
OTHER EXPENSE. Other expense was $826.0 million for the quarter and $1.8 billion
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with $769.4 million and
$1.7 billion during the same periods in 1996.
Salaries and employee benefits were $204.3 million for the quarter and
$615.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with $201.4
million and $622.9 million for the comparable periods in 1996. The year-to-date
decrease reflected GWB's efforts to reengineer their mortgage business and other
efficiency initiatives. The staffing level of full-time equivalent employees was
20,302 at September 30, 1997 compared with 20,564 at September 30, 1996.
Telecommunications and outsourced information services were $40.1
million for the quarter and $126.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 compared with $39.5 million and $110.0 million for the same periods in
1996. Most of the 1997 increases resulted from higher levels of customer support
services and company usage.
Regulatory assessments were $8.8 million for the quarter and $26.0
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, decreases of 69% from the
same periods in 1996, due to a reduction in the SAIF assessment rate.
Transaction-related expense. The Company recorded transaction-related charges of
$366.9 million during the quarter and $424.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as a result of the GWFC merger. The majority of the charges
were for severance and related payments, facilities and equipment impairment,
and various investment banking, legal and contract exit fees.

5
The transaction-related charges for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 included severance and related charges of $132.9 million. As of September
30, 1997, 139 employee separations had occurred and the related severance
charge of $31.7 million had been paid. Employee separations related to the
merger are planned to be completed by the end of 1998. In addition, the Company
anticipates that additional staff reductions will result from normal attrition.
Offices used by the Company on GWB's Chatsworth campus are being
consolidated in order to make more efficient use of the building space. As a
result of this consolidation, the Company anticipates that approximately
475,000 square feet, located predominantly in five buildings, will become
available to sublet to third party tenants. Approximately 50% of the modular
furniture in the affected building space is expected not to be redeployable and
will be written off. It is expected that the space will be available for
subleasing by June 1998. In addition, the Company has identified 85 retail
branches which will be closed and will have their operations consolidated with
neighboring branches. The Company anticipates that there will be additional
closures and consolidations in 1998 and 1999. The aggregate transaction-related
charge for the consolidation of the Chatsworth campus and the announced retail
branch consolidation is $100.6 million.
In order to meet the Company's goal to consolidate its current systems
platform, certain computer hardware and software equipment has been or will be
abandoned and written off. The consolidation of equipment will allow the
Company to increase operational efficiency, improve processing capacity and
establish a common user workstation environment.
Also as part of the GWFC merger, the Company recorded $116.5 million in
tax benefits related to the exercise of options under the GWFC stock
option plan. This benefit was recorded directly as an increase to stockholders'
equity as the options were exercised. The net after-tax effect upon
stockholders' equity of all adjustments from transaction-related activity was a
reduction of $267.9 million.
The following table summarizes the GWFC transaction-related expenses at
September 30, 1997:

=====================================================================================================
(1) The increase in transaction-related expenses attributed to premises and
equipment was due to the Company's decision to abandon more systems and
facilities than originally anticipated. In addition, the hostile nature of the
merger increased the Company's estimate of other expenses.
The increase in the tax benefit due to the exercise of GWFC stock
options reflected the fact that significantly more stock options were exercised
than anticipated.
Transaction-related expenses associated with the merger of Keystone
Holdings were recorded during fourth quarter 1996. The following is a
reconciliation of the activity related the Keystone Holdings merger during the
first nine months of 1997:

Restructure expense. In 1996, a restructure plan was implemented at GWB. The
restructuring initiatives were designed to improve GWB's competitive position,
accelerate expense reduction and enhance future revenue growth by streamlining
operations, making efficient use of premises and modernizing its systems
platform. Due to the GWFC merger, some of GWB's planned restructure activities
have been suspended. Accruals related to these activities have not been
reversed.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, approximately 300
employee separations occurred pursuant to the GWB restructure plan. At
September 30, 1997, 597 employees are receiving, or will be eligible to
receive, $13.1 million in severance benefits.
The following is a reconciliation of the restructure activity for the
first nine months of 1997:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$47,129 $7,000 $(17,860) $36,269
======================================================================================
(1) Additional severance costs were triggered effective February 25, 1997
upon the adoption of a broad-based, change-in-control severance plan. At
March 31, 1997, the Company accrued an additional $7 million for severance
benefits expected to be paid to employees affected by the restructuring plan
and change-in-control benefits program. This increase to the fourth quarter 1996
restructuring accrual is for incremental severance charges which employees
terminated after February 24, 1997 are entitled to receive under provisions of
the change-in-control severance plan adopted on the date.
Foreclosed assets generated a net expense of $5.2 million for the
quarter and $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared
with net income of $9.0 million and net expense of $7.7 million during the same
period in 1996. Net income from foreclosed assets during third quarter 1996 was
primarily the result of gains related to the sale of a large number of
foreclosed assets at GWB.
OPERATING EFFICIENCY RATIO. The operating efficiency ratio is other expense as a
percentage of net interest income plus other income. The Company's ratio
including transaction-related expenses was 107.7% for the quarter and 73.0% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with 97.6% and 71.8% for the
same periods in 1996. The 1996 ratios include the one-time SAIF assessment. The
operating efficiency ratios without transaction-related expenses and the SAIF
assessment were 53.0% for the quarter and 53.5% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared with 58.0% and 58.6% for the same periods in 1996.
NONBANKING SUBSIDIARY OPERATIONS. The Company's principal nonbanking subsidiary
is Aristar. The consumer finance line of business had net income of $10.0
million and $33.7 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1997, down from $12.6 million and $45.9 million during the same periods in 1996.
The current year decreases were the result of higher borrowing costs and lower
yields on consumer finance loans. In May 1996, Aristar recorded a $8.0
million insurance recovery.
FINANCIAL POSITION
ASSETS. At September 30, 1997, the Company's assets were $95.6 billion up 9%
from $87.4 billion at year-end 1996. Most of the growth was due to the record
lending activity during the first nine months of 1997.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES. Washington Mutual's investment portfolio at September 30,
1997 was $21.9 billion, a 6% increase from the year-end 1996 balance of $20.6
billion. The Company's mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") were $19.8 billion or
90% of the total investment portfolio at September 30, 1997.
MBS that the Company securitized from its own single-family residential
loan origination activity totaled $14.1 billion at September 30, 1997 with the
remaining $5.7 billion having been purchased in the secondary market. As part of
the securitization process, the Company has from time to time retained the
6
7
credit risk on the loans underlying these securities. As of September 30, 1997,
the Company is subject to full or limited recourse on $14.6 billion of loans
underlying its U.S. government agency MBS portfolio. Because of the Company's
recourse obligations in regard to a portion of its MBS portfolio, Washington
Mutual has recorded an impairment of $31.5 million against its
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity MBS portfolios to cover potential losses
on the loans underlying the securities.
Held-to-maturity securities increased by $6.0 billion primarily as a
result of the transfer by GWB of $4.4 billion of MBS from the
available-for-sale portfolio. Such a transfer is allowed under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", in the event of a major business
combination that necessitates the transfer to maintain the entity's existing
interest rate risk or credit risk position or credit risk policy.
In October 1997, the Company completed the securitization of $1.2
billion of residential mortgage loans from GWB's portfolio which the Company had
previously identified as having both high loan-to-value ratios and borrowers
with marginal credit history. These loans were transferred to a trust that
issued five classes of securities. The securities have been purchased by WMBFA
and were placed in either the Company's available-for-sale or trading portfolio,
as management deemed appropriate. The securities may subsequently be sold, from
time to time, based upon management's future judgment of market conditions and
execution capabilities. As a result, the identified loans were classified as
held for sale as of September 30, 1997 and marked to the lower of cost or market
with a charge to earnings of $100.0 million.
LOAN ORIGINATIONS. Total lending was $7.9 billion for the quarter and $21.6
billion for the nine months ending September 30, 1997, increases of 33% and 32%
compared with the same periods a year earlier. The Company's aggressive
marketing strategy together with strong regional economies in its primary
markets helped generate year-to-date increases in lending volumes in all loan
categories.
Loan originations were as follows:

========================================================================================
DEPOSITS. Total deposits decreased to $51.3 billion at September 30, 1997 from
$52.7 billion at December 31, 1996. Retail money market and checking accounts -
both of which have the benefit of lower interest costs than other sources of
funds - increased $1.1 billion partially offsetting a $2.6 billion decline in
retail time deposits. Contributing to the increase in retail money market and
checking accounts was the acquisition of United Western, which added $299.9
million in total deposits. Retail time deposits declined in part because the
Company chose not to aggressively price to maintain the 1996 year-end level.
While the vast majority of its deposits are retail in nature, the Company does
engage in certain wholesale activities -- primarily accepting time deposits from
political subdivisions and public agencies. The Company considers wholesale
deposits to be
7

an alternative borrowing source rather than a customer relationship and, as
such, their levels are determined by management's decisions as to the lowest
cost funding sources.
BORROWINGS. Washington Mutual's primary sources of borrowing are securities sold
under agreements to repurchase, federal funds purchased and commercial paper
issued, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Banks ("FHLB") of Seattle and
San Francisco. These three borrowing sources totaled $11.7 billion, $4.2
billion and $16.6 billion at September 30, 1997, compared with $12.0 billion,
$2.2 billion and $10.0 billion at year-end 1996, respectively. The Company also
held other borrowings totaling $3.3 billion at September 30, 1997 compared with
$3.2 billion at year-end 1996. Other borrowings primarily consisted of medium
term notes due within five years. The exact mix of borrowing sources at any
given time is dependent upon their market pricing. Specifically, due to
relative pricing advantages, the Company primarily used FHLB advances to fund
its balance sheet growth during the first nine months of 1997.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT. Washington Mutual engages 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.
One of the Company's strategies to reduce the effect of future movements in
interest rates is to increase the percentage of adjustable-rate assets in its
portfolio. A conventional measure of interest rate sensitivity for thrift
institutions is the one-year gap, which is calculated by dividing the difference
between assets maturing or repricing within one year and total liabilities
maturing or repricing within one year by total assets.
The Company's assets and liabilities that mature or reprice within one
year were as follows:

As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, the
Company evaluates all commercial real estate, builder construction and
commercial business loans for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when it
is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according
to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Interest income is normally
recognized on an accrual basis. If the impaired loan is nonperforming, interest
income is recorded only on the receipt of cash. At September 30, 1997, loans
totaling $465.5 million were impaired compared with $498.3 million at year-end
1996.
Impaired loans consisted of the following:

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan
losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $155.8 million compared
with $164.8 million for the same period in 1996. The reserve for loan losses was
$671.9 million at September 30, 1997 compared with $677.1 million at December
31, 1996. Reserves charged off, net of recoveries, totaled $152.7 million for
the first nine months of 1997 compared with $207.0 million for the same period
in 1996. At September 30, 1997, the reserve for loan losses represented 106% of
nonperforming loans compared with 116% nine months earlier.
Changes in the reserve for loan losses were as follows:

As part of the process of determining the adequacy of the reserve for
loan losses, management reviews its loan portfolio for specific weaknesses. A
portion of the reserve is then designated as either specific or allocated to
reflect the loss exposure. The September 30, 1997 analysis of commercial real
estate, builder construction and commercial loans resulted in specific and
allocated reserves totaling $99.6 million. At December 31, 1996, the Company had
specific and allocated reserves of $118.7 million. The remaining reserve of
$572.3 million at September 30, 1997 was unallocated and available for potential
losses from any of the Company's loans.
When determining the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, management
has historically looked not only to those loans currently in its loan portfolio,
but also to any loan pool where the Company has a full or limited recourse
obligation resulting from securitization of its loans. With the Great Western
merger, the Company began recording losses on loans repurchased from MBS where
it had retained the credit risk as a writedown on the security, rather than as a
charge against the reserve for loan losses. A writedown on the MBS is included
as a component of other income. GWB had adopted this accounting policy in 1996.
Prior periods have been restated so that chargeoffs on single-family residential
loans are comparable period to period.
Also, as part of the GWFC merger, the Company has reclassified
the identified impairment on MBS where it has retained the credit risk from the
reserve for loan losses to MBS to conform the accounting policies of WMB and
American with that of GWB. An impairment of $17.7 million was recorded through a
transfer from the reserve for loan losses. The impairment was based upon an
analysis at June 30, 1997 of the loans underlying MBS where the Company remains
subject to full or limited recourse. Because this reclassification was
immaterial to the Company's statement of financial position, prior periods have
not been restated. The impairment on MBS will be evaluated periodically in
accordance with credit-risk policy. Any subsequent impairment will be recorded
as a writedown to MBS.
An analysis of the reserve for loan losses was as follows:
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 DECEMBER 31, 1996
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specific and allocated reserves:
Commercial real estate $ 94.3 $117.4

Commercial business 3.2 1.3

Unallocated reserves 572.3 558.4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$671.9 $677.1
=====================================================================================
Total reserve for loan losses as a percentage of:
Nonperforming assets 81% 84%
Nonperforming assets, less foreclosed assets 106 116
A reserve for losses on foreclosed assets is maintained for any
subsequent decline in the value of foreclosed property. The reserve for losses
on foreclosed assets was $7.1 million at September 30, 1997, compared with $9.0
million at December 31, 1996. The level is based upon a routine review of
foreclosed assets and the strength of national and local economies.
The Company also maintains a contingent liability to cover potential
losses on loans that have been sold to third parties where the Company remains
subject to full or limited recourse. At September 30, 1997, $11.0 million was
set aside to cover losses on $2.2 billion of loans sold with full or limited
recourse.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
LIQUIDITY. Washington Mutual monitors its ability to meet short-term cash
requirements under both normal (operating) and extreme (contingent)
circumstances using guidelines established by its Board of Directors. The
operating liquidity ratio is used to ensure that normal short-term secured
borrowing
10
11
capacity is sufficient to satisfy unanticipated cash needs. The
contingent liquidity ratio measures the ability to raise cash by liquidating
assets in the event of a very adverse business environment. At September 30,
1997, the Company had substantial liquidity compared with its established
guidelines.
The Company also computes ratios promulgated by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to monitor the liquidity position of WMB. The
regulatory liquidity ratio measures WMB's ability to use liquid assets to meet
unusual cash demands. The regulatory dependency ratio measures WMB's reliance
upon potentially volatile liabilities to fund long-term assets. WMB manages both
ratios to remain within the acceptable ranges and, at September 30, 1997, was
within the established FDIC guidelines.
Regulations promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
require that the Company's federal savings bank subsidiaries maintain for each
calendar month an average daily balance of liquid assets at least equal to 5.00%
of the prior month's average daily balance of net withdrawable deposits plus
borrowings due within one year. For each month during the first nine months of
1997, the liquidity ratio for each ASB, GWB and WMBfsb was above 5.00%.
At September 30, 1997, the Company's banking subsidiaries had the
ability to borrow approximately an additional $10.2 billion from the FHLB. In
addition, to meet its immediate needs for funds as well as long-term lending
demands, Washington Mutual maintains various sources of liquid assets and
borrowing capabilities through the use of collateralized borrowings using
unpledged mortgage-backed securities and other wholesale sources. The ability of
the Company's banking subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company is influenced
by legal, regulatory and economic restrictions.
Because the low interest rate environment of recent years and
competition from non-regulated entities (such as mutual funds) has inhibited
consumer deposits, Washington Mutual has supported its growth through business
combinations with other financial institutions and by increasing its use of
wholesale borrowings. Should the Company not be able to increase deposits either
internally or through acquisitions, its ability to grow would be dependent upon,
and to a certain extent limited by, its borrowing capacity.
As presented in the Supplemental Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,
the sources of liquidity vary between periods. The statement of cash flows
includes operating, investing and financing categories. Cash flows from
operating activities included net income for the first nine months of 1997 of
$243.9 million, $362.6 million of noncash items and $447.3 million of other net
cash outflows from operating activities. During the nine months ended September
30, 1997, cash flows from investing activities included sales and principal
payments on securities and loans held for investment totaling $11.8 billion.
Loans originated and purchased for investment required $17.7 billion and $2.0
billion was used for the purchase of available-for-sale securities. Cash flows
from financing activities consisted of the net change in deposit accounts and
short-term borrowings, the proceeds and repayments from both securities sold
under long-term agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances, and also the
repayment of long-term debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
the above mentioned financing activities increased cash and cash equivalents by
$7.1 billion on a net basis. Cash and cash equivalents were $1.2 billion at
September 30, 1997. (See "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows".)

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. At September 30, 1997, WMB, ASB, GWB, and WMBfsb exceeded
all current regulatory capital requirements and were classified as well
capitalized institutions. The regulatory capital ratios of WMB, ASB, GWB, and
WMBfsb and minimum regulatory requirements to be categorized as well capitalized
were as follows:
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
---------------------------------------------------------------------WELL CAPITALIZED
WMB ASB GWB WMBfsb MINIMUM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capital ratios:
Leverage 5.69% 5.38% 5.53% 7.11% 5.00%
Tier 1 risk-based 9.96 8.91 9.40 11.44 6.00
Total risk-based 10.72 10.65 10.72 12.64 10.00
In addition, federal savings associations are required by the OTS to
maintain core capital of at least 3.00% of assets and tangible capital of at
least 1.50% of assets. All of the Company's federal savings associations
satisfied this requirement at September 30, 1997.

statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows of Washington Mutual,
Inc. ("Washington Mutual" or the "Company") for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 reflect all adjustments, including only normal
recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair statement of the results for the period presented.
The merger with Great Western Financial Corporation ("GWFC") was
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The assets, liabilities, stockholders'
equity, and results of operations of GWFC have been recorded on the books of the
Company at their values as carrried on the books of GWFC, and no goodwill was
created. Washington Mutual's financial information contained herein has been

presented.

requirements for earnings per share ("EPS") for entities with
23
24

convertible securities or contingent stock agreements if those securities trade
in a public market. This standard specifies computation and presentation
requirements for both basic EPS and, for entities with complex capital
structures, diluted EPS. SFAS No. 128 is effective for reporting periods ending
after December 15, 1997 and early adoption of the standard is not permitted. The
adoption of SFAS No. 128 will have no material impact on the Company's results
of operations on a per share basis.
3. CAPITAL STRUCTURE
In February 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure. SFAS No. 129 establishes standards for disclosing
information about an entities capital structure. Effective for periods ending
after December 31, 1997, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS
No. 129 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of
operations.
4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS
No. 130 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires
disclosure of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income
includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company does not
anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 130 to have a material impact on its
financial position or results of operations.
5. SEGMENT DISCLOSURES
In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 is effective for periods

operations and other key information, such as products and services, geographic
operations and major customers, by key operating segments. The Company does not
anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 131 to have a material impact on its
financial position or results of operations.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 1997, the Company completed the securitization of $1.2 billion of
residential mortgage loans from Great Western Bank's ("GWB") portfolio which the
Company had previously identified as having both high loan-to-value ratios and
borrowers with marginal credit history. These loans were transferred to a trust
that issued five classes of securities. The securities have been purchased by
WMBFA and were placed in either the Company's available-for-sale or trading
portfolio, as management deemed appropriate. The securities may subsequently be
sold, from time to time, based upon management's future judgment of market
conditions and execution capabilities. As a result, the identified loans were
classified as held for sale as of September 30, 1997 and marked to the lower of
cost or market with a charge to earnings of approximately $100.0 million.
