GOLDEN STATE HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the requirements of Regulation S-X, Article 10 and
therefore do not include all disclosures necessary for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made that
are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of
operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim
period. Certain amounts for the three- and nine-month periods in the prior year
have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
Golden State Holdings Inc. (the "Company" or "GS Holdings"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Golden State Bancorp Inc. ("Golden State"), was formed to acquire
all of the assets of First Nationwide Holdings Inc. ("FN Holdings"), including
common and preferred stock of California Federal Bank and its subsidiaries
("California Federal" or "Bank"), as part of the Golden State Acquisition (as
defined herein). GS Holdings is a holding company whose only significant asset
is all of the common and preferred stock of the Bank and therefore, activities
for the consolidated entity are primarily carried out by the Bank and its
operating subsidiaries.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
GS Holdings, the Bank and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries. Unless the
context otherwise indicates, "GS Holdings" or "Company" refers to Golden State
Holdings Inc. as the surviving entity after the consummation of the Golden State
Acquisition, and as the surviving entity in the GS Escrow Merger for periods
after the GS Escrow Merger. On September 11, 1998, Glendale Federal Bank,
Federal Savings Bank ("Glendale Federal") merged with and into the Bank pursuant
to the Glen Fed Merger (as defined herein). Unless the context otherwise
indicates, "California Federal" or "Bank" refers to California Federal Bank as
the surviving entity after the consummation of the Glen Fed Merger.
Minority interest represents amounts attributable to (a) the Preferred
Stock ("REIT Preferred Stock") of California Federal Preferred Capital
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, and (b) that portion of
stockholder's equity of Auto One Acceptance Corporation ("Auto One"), a
subsidiary of the Bank, attributable to 20% of its common stock. In 1999,
minority interest also included the Bank Preferred Stock that had not yet been
acquired by GS Holdings.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements of GS Holdings included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. All terms used
but not defined elsewhere herein have meanings ascribed to them in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As GS Holdings' common stock is wholly owned by Golden State, earnings per
share data is not presented.
(2) Acquisitions and Divestitures
-----------------------------
GOLDEN STATE ACQUISITION
On September 11, 1998, First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc. ("Parent
Holdings") and Hunter's Glen/Ford Ltd. ("Hunter's Glen") completed the merger
with Golden State, the publicly traded parent company of Glendale Federal, in a
tax-free exchange of shares (the "Golden State Merger"), accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. Pursuant to the Golden State Merger agreement,
(a) FN Holdings contributed all of its assets (including all of the common stock
of California Federal) to GS Holdings (the "FN Holdings Asset Transfer"), (b)
Parent Holdings, which then owned all of the common stock of FN Holdings as a
result of the extinguishment of the Hunter's Glen minority interest, merged with
and into Golden State, which indirectly owned all of the common stock of
Glendale Federal, (c) FN Holdings merged with and into Golden State Financial
Corporation, which owned all of the common stock of Glendale Federal (the "FN
Holdings Merger," and together with the Golden State Merger, the "Holding
Company Mergers"), and (d) Glendale Federal merged with and into California
Federal (the
Page 11
"Glen Fed Merger"). The FN Holdings Asset Transfer, the Holding Company Mergers
and the Glen Fed Merger are referred to collectively as the "Golden State
Acquisition."
At September 11, 1998, Glendale Federal had total assets of approximately
$18.9 billion and deposits of $11.3 billion and operated 181 branches and 26
loan offices in California.
The Golden State Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of Golden
State by Parent Holdings and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction based on
estimates of fair value at the date of purchase. Since the date of purchase, the
results of operations related to such assets and liabilities have been included
in the Company's consolidated statements of income.
Merger and integration costs associated with the Golden State Acquisition
totalled $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, including
severance for terminated California Federal employees, expenses for California
Federal branch closures, and conversion and consolidation costs, as well as
transition expenses for duplicate personnel, facilities and computer systems
during the integration period. No such expenses were incurred during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000.
During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded fair value and other
adjustments to reduce intangible assets in the Golden State Acquisition by $16.6
million, $18.1 million and $12.4 million related to (i) previously accrued
severance and contract termination costs (which had not been utilized upon
completion of the integration plan), (ii) a "true-up" adjustment of the deferred
tax asset and (iii) the purchase price, respectively.
OTHER ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
On February 29, 2000, Auto One acquired Downey Auto Finance Corporation, a
subsidiary of Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A., with prime auto loans
of approximately $370 million (the "Downey Acquisition"). Intangible assets of
$7.7 million were recorded in connection with this acquisition.
On April 16, 1999, the Bank acquired twelve retail branches located in
Nevada with deposits of approximately $543 million from Norwest Bank, Nevada, a
subsidiary of Norwest Corporation, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Nevada
Purchase"). Intangible assets of $50.7 million were recorded in connection with
this acquisition, principally representing the deposit premium paid in the
transaction.
During April 1999, First Nationwide Mortgage Corporation ("FNMC") sold
servicing rights for approximately 49,000 loans with an unpaid principal balance
of approximately $2.0 billion, recognizing a pre-tax gain of $16.3 million (the
"Servicing Sale").
(3) Reclassification of Securities
------------------------------
On April 30, 2000, the Company reclassified $1.1 billion and $497.9 million
carrying value of mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government and agency
securities, respectively, from securities available for sale to their respective
held-to-maturity portfolios. These assets primarily comprise securities which
are required as part of the Bank's regulatory liquidity portfolio. The Company
has both the positive intent and the ability to hold these securities to
maturity. The net unrealized loss related to these securities of $64.0 million,
which is included as a component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive
loss), is amortized to interest income over the remaining life of the securities
using the interest method. The effect of this amortization on interest income is
fully offset by the effect of amortization of the related discount recorded
against the respective assets at the time of transfer.
(4) Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Statements of Cash Flows
----------------------------------------------------
Cash paid for interest on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities
during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $2.2 billion and
$1.7 billion, respectively. Net cash paid for income taxes during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $33.4 million and $85.4 million,
respectively.
Page 12
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, noncash activity consisted
of the reclassification of $1.1 billion and $497.9 million of mortgage-backed
securities and U.S. government and agency securities, respectively, from
securities available for sale to their respective held-to-maturity portfolios,
transfers of $113.2 million from loans receivable to mortgage-backed securities
upon the securitization of certain of the Bank's single-family loans, transfers
of $54.7 million from loans held for sale (at lower of cost or market) to loans
receivable, transfers of $41.1 million from loans receivable to foreclosed real
estate and $5.4 million of loans made to facilitate sales of real estate owned.
Noncash activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 also
included the following: (a) a $211.7 million reduction of the valuation
allowance of the Company's deferred tax asset representing pre-merger tax
benefits, of which $161.7 million was retained by the previous owners of FN
Holdings, and (b) an increase of $2.7 million in additional paid-in capital
reflecting the impact of Golden State restricted common stock outstanding under
an employee incentive plan.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, noncash activity consisted
of transfers of $227.1 million from loans receivable to mortgage-backed
securities upon the securitization of certain of the Bank's single-family loans,
transfers of $108.1 million from loans held for sale (at lower of cost or
market) to loans receivable, transfers of $81.0 million from loans receivable to
foreclosed real estate and $8.4 million of loans made to facilitate sales of
real estate owned.
Noncash activity during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 also
included (a) a reduction of $18.9 million in previously accrued severance and
contract termination costs, (b) an $18.1 million "true-up" adjustment of the
deferred tax asset and $12.4 million in purchase price adjustments related to
the Golden State Acquisition, (c) an increase of $238 thousand in additional
paid-in capital reflecting the impact of 56,908 shares of Golden State
restricted common stock issued during the period and (d) an increase of $66.4
million in retained earnings related to an adjustment of the initial dividend of
tax benefits due to parent upon the Company's deconsolidation from its tax
reporting group as a result of the Golden State Acquisition.
(5) Redemption of FN Holdings Notes
-------------------------------
On May 15, 1999, GS Holdings redeemed the remaining $225 thousand aggregate
principal amount of the FN Holdings 12 1/4% Senior Notes for an aggregate
redemption price including accrued interest payable, of $252.6 thousand. The
premium paid in connection with such redemption was not material.
Page 13
(6) Segment Reporting
-----------------
Since the Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from
interest income, and interest expense is the most significant expense, the
segments are reported below using net interest income. Because the Company also
evaluates performance based on noninterest income and noninterest expense goals,
these measures of segment profit and loss are also presented. The Company does
not allocate income taxes to the segments.

(7) Accrued Termination and Facilities Costs
----------------------------------------
In connection with the Golden State Acquisition, the Company recorded
liabilities resulting from (a) branch consolidations due to duplicate
facilities; (b) employee severance and termination benefits due to a planned
reduction in force; and (c) expenses incurred under a contractual obligation to
terminate services provided by outside service providers (principally relating
to data processing expenses). The merger and integration plan relative to the
Golden State Acquisition was in place on September 11, 1998. Certain of these
costs were included in the allocation of purchase price and others were
recognized in net income. The table below reflects a summary of the activity in
the liability for the costs related to such plan since December 31, 1999 (in

======= ======= === =======
(8) Income Taxes
------------
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, GS Holdings recorded net
income tax expense of $67.5 million. Based on favorable resolutions of federal
income tax audits of Old California Federal and Glendale Federal, and based on
the current status of Mafco's, including the Company's, audits for the years
1991 through 1995, management changed its judgment about the realizability of
the Company's deferred tax asset and reduced its valuation allowance by $211.7
million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. As a result of
reducing the valuation allowance, income tax expense was reduced by $161.7
million and goodwill was reduced by $50.0 million.
Page 15
In connection with the Golden State Merger on September 11, 1998, the
Company deconsolidated from the Mafco Group. As a result, only the amount of the
net operating losses ("NOLs") of the Company not utilized by the Mafco Group on
or before December 31, 1998 are available to offset taxable income of the
Company thereafter.
Based upon the actual filing of the Mafco Group and GS Holdings 1998
consolidated federal income tax returns, tax benefits of $79.0 million were
recognized during the third quarter of 1999. The tax benefit is fully offset by
an increase in minority interest expense, since under the Golden State Merger
agreement, the tax benefits from any NOLs and other tax attributes of Parent
Holdings and its subsidiaries are retained by First Gibraltar and Hunter's Glen.
In addition, the Company recorded an adjustment of $66.4 million to reduce
the initial dividend of tax benefits to parent due to its deconsolidation from
the Mafco Group, which was recorded as an increase to retained earnings during
the third quarter of 1999.
(9) Minority Interest
-----------------
On April 1, 1999, GS Holdings redeemed all of the remaining 607,299
outstanding shares of the Bank's 10 5/8% Preferred Stock not already owned by it
for $105.313 per share for a total redemption price of $63.9 million. This
transaction reduced minority interest on the Company's balance sheet and
resulted in a charge of $3.2 million to minority interest expense.
On September 1, 1999, GS Holdings redeemed all of the remaining 318,341
shares of the Bank's 11 1/2% Preferred Stock not already owned by it for $105.75
per share, for a total redemption price of $33.7 million. This transaction
reduced minority interest by $31.8 million on the Company's consolidated balance
sheet and resulted in a charge of $1.8 million to minority interest expense.
During the third quarter of 1999, minority interest expense of $79.0
million was recorded based upon changes to estimated pre-merger tax benefits
retained by Parent Holdings. This amount was fully offset by an income tax
benefit in the same period. See note 8.
(10) Stockholder's Equity
--------------------
At September 30, 2000, there were 1,000 shares of GS Holdings common stock
issued and outstanding.
Dividends on common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999 totalled $71.0 million and $105.0 million, respectively.
During the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, the Company received capital
contributions from its parent of $19.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively.
In addition, in the third quarter of 1999, the Company also recorded an
adjustment to the purchase price in the Golden State Acquisition of $12.4
million. See note 2.
During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a $66.4 million
increase in retained earnings representing an adjustment to reduce the initial
dividend of tax benefits to parent upon the Company's deconsolidation from its
tax reporting group on September 11, 1998. See note 8.
(11) Executive and Stock Compensation
--------------------------------
In connection with the Golden State Acquisition, the Bank is administering
stock option plans that provided for the granting of options of Golden State
Common Stock to employees and directors. Upon the consummation of the merger on
September 11, 1998, substantially all options outstanding became exercisable.
All pre-merger stock option plans have expired as to the granting of additional
options.
Page 16
In the first quarter of 2000, Golden State granted to its employees
non-qualified stock options equivalent to 1,333,850 shares of common stock at a
weighted average price of $13.99 per share under the Golden State Bancorp Inc.
Omnibus Stock Plan (the "Stock Plan"). In the second quarter of 2000, Golden
State granted an additional 12,000 non-qualified stock options at a weighted
average price of $16.25 per share. In the third quarter of 2000, Golden State
granted an additional 5,000 non-qualified options at a weighted average price of
$21.31 per share. These shares generally vest over three years in one-third
increments on the anniversary of the grant date. The options generally expire 10
years from the date of grant. No compensation cost was recognized by the Company
for these stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, in
accordance with the intrinsic value accounting methodology prescribed in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, whereby compensation expense to employees is determined based upon
the excess, if any, of the market price of Golden State's common stock at the
measurement date over the exercise price of the award.
During the three months ended September 30, 2000, 36,893 options were
exercised and 18,584 options were cancelled or expired under all plans. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, 51,200 options were exercised and
82,950 options were cancelled or expired under all plans. At September 30, 2000,
options to acquire an equivalent of 3,777,782 shares and 1,129,382 LTWTMs
remained outstanding under all plans.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, a total of
149,226 and 506,243 options, respectively, were exercised and 57,500 and 230,000
options, respectively, were cancelled or expired under all plans.
On January 24, 2000 and July 19, 1999, Golden State awarded to certain of
its employees 220,327 and 56,908 shares, respectively, of restricted stock under
the Golden State Bancorp Inc. Executive Compensation Plan. The market value on
the dates of the awards were $14.00 and $22.38 per share, respectively. These
shares generally vest over two years in one-half increments on the anniversary
of the grant date, based upon the continued service of the employee. At
September 30, 2000, a total of 246,756 restricted shares was outstanding. The
compensation expense related to these awards is recognized on a straight line
basis over the vesting period for each tranche of the award with a corresponding
increase to additional paid-in capital. During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in compensation
expense was recognized related to such awards. During the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, $0.2 million in compensation expense was recognized
related to such awards. These restricted shares have full voting and dividend
rights.
(12) Extraordinary Items
-------------------
During the first quarter of 2000, the FHLB called and the Bank prepaid $200
million in FHLB advances, resulting in an extraordinary gain of $1.2 million,
net of income taxes of $0.8 million, on the early extinguishment of such
borrowings.
Also during the first quarter of 2000, the Bank repurchased $2.5 million
outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures due
2001, resulting in an extraordinary gain of $41 thousand, net of income taxes of
$30 thousand, on the early extinguishment of debt.
During the second quarter of 2000, the FHLB called and the Bank prepaid
$200 million in FHLB advances, resulting in an extraordinary gain of $1.8
million, net of income taxes of $1.2 million, on the early extinguishment of
such borrowings.
(13) Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------------
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 was amended by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES-DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF FASB
STATEMENT NO. 133 ("SFAS No. 137"). SFAS No. 137 mandates that SFAS No. 133
shall be effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after
June 15,
Page 17
2000. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the
balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are
recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income,
depending on the type of hedge transaction.
Under SFAS No. 133, an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is
required to establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use for
assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement
approach for determining the ineffective portion of the hedge. Upon
implementation, hedging relationships must be designated anew and documented
pursuant to the provisions of this statement.
For fair value hedge transactions in which the Company is hedging changes
in the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments, changes in the
fair value of the derivative instrument will generally be offset in the income
statement by changes in the hedged item's fair value. For cash flow hedge
transactions in which the Company is hedging the variability of cash flows
related to a variable-rate asset, liability, or a forecasted transaction,
changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument will be reported in other
comprehensive income. The gains and losses on derivative instruments that are
reported in other comprehensive income will be reclassified as earnings in the
periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of
the hedged item. The ineffective portion of all hedges will be recognized in
current-period earnings.
The Company has identified various types of instruments which will qualify
as derivatives pursuant to SFAS No. 133. It is expected that the derivative
instruments (interest rate floors, principal only swaps and swaptions) used to
hedge the change in the fair value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights
will be reported as fair value hedges. The derivative instruments (interest rate
swaps) used to hedge the change in the cash flows of the Company's Federal Home
Loan Bank advances and reverse repurchase agreements will be reported as cash
flow hedges.
During their meeting of October 26 and 27, 2000, the FASB staff issued
guidance to the Derivatives Implementation Group ("DIG") of the FASB resolving
Issue 11-4, DEFINITION OF A DERIVATIVE: WHEN A LOAN COMMITMENT MEETS THE NET
SETTLEMENT CRITERIA. This guidance was issued for DIG review and clarifying
comments. This guidance will be posted to the FASB web site in November of 2000
and given a 35-day comment period. The FASB staff guidance indicated that
interest rate lock commitments, given to potential borrowers, met the net
settlement criteria described in paragraph 9 of SFAS No. 133 and would therefore
be considered a derivative instrument. At the end of the 35-day comment period,
the FASB staff guidance will become Level D GAAP. In their meeting of October 26
and 27, 2000, the DIG also reviewed Issue 12-4, FAIR VALUE HEDGES: HEDGING
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHT ASSETS USING PRESET HEDGE COVERAGE RATIOS. There was no
resolution to this issue at the meeting. The Company is currently assessing the
impact of both areas of potential guidance.
On June 15, 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 138 ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND CERTAIN
HEDGING ACTIVITIES, AN AMENDMENT OF FASB NO. 133 ("SFAS No. 138").
The Board amended SFAS No. 133 by:
(a) Expanding the normal purchases and normal sales exception,
(b) Permitting an entity to hedge to a designated benchmark interest rate
defined as either (i) the interest rate on direct Treasury obligations
of the U.S. government (Treasury rate), or (ii) the London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate,
(c) Permitting entities to hedge recognized foreign-currency-denominated
assets and liabilities for which a foreign currency transaction gain
or loss is recognized in earnings, and
(d) Permitting certain internal derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting
in the affiliate financial statements even though these internal
derivatives are offset on a net or aggregate basis, rather than
individually, by third party derivative contracts in another member of
the consolidated financial group.
Page 18
In addition, certain decisions arising from the DIG process that required
specific amendments to SFAS No. 133 are incorporated in SFAS No. 138.
SFAS No. 133 applies to all entities and amends SFAS No. 107, DISCLOSURES
ABOUT FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, to include in Statement 107 the
disclosure provisions about concentrations of credit risk from Statement 105.
SFAS No. 133 supersedes FASB Statements No. 80, ACCOUNTING FOR FUTURES
CONTRACTS, No. 105, DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH
OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT
RISK, and No. 119, DISCLOSURE ABOUT DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. SFAS No. 133 also nullifies or modifies the
consensuses reached in a number of issues addressed by the Emerging Issues Task
Force.
One of the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 is
that the hedging relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item
must be highly effective in achieving the offset of changes in those fair values
or cash flows that are attributable to the hedged risk, both at the inception of
the hedge and on an ongoing basis. An assessment of this effectiveness is
required at least every three months and whenever financial statements or
earnings are reported by the Company.
The high-effectiveness requirement has been interpreted to mean that the
cumulative changes in the value of the hedging instrument since hedge inception
should be between 80% and 125% of the inverse cumulative change since hedge
inception in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged items.
Early application of all of the provisions of SFAS No. 133 is encouraged,
but is permitted only as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter that begins
after issuance of this statement. SFAS No. 133 should not be applied
retroactively to financial statements of prior periods.
SFAS No. 133, as amended, will significantly change the accounting
treatment of derivative instruments used by the Company. Depending on the
underlying risk management strategy, these accounting changes could affect
reported net income, assets, liabilities and stockholder's equity. As a result,
the Company may choose to reconsider its risk management strategies, since SFAS
No. 133 will not reflect the results of many of those strategies in the same
manner as current accounting practice. The Company continues to evaluate the
potential impact of implementing SFAS No. 133. An accurate assessment of the
Company's hedge effectiveness and hence, the net impact of adopting SFAS No.
133, will not be possible until the FASB, which is currently both interpreting
and amending SFAS No. 133 with regard to the measurement of hedge effectiveness,
concludes its deliberations, and until after the Company has fully implemented
hedging strategies in accordance with the FASB's amendments and interpretations.
ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS
OF LIABILITIES
On September 29, 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 140, ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES ("SFAS No. 140"). SFAS No. 140 replaces SFAS
No. 125, which was issued in June of 1996. It revises the standards for
accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and
collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of the
provisions of SFAS No. 125 without reconsideration. In general, SFAS No. 140 is
effective for transfers of financial assets occurring after March 31, 2001 and
for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
The implementation of SFAS No. 140 is not expected to materially impact the
Company's financial results.

==== ==== ====
The volume variances in total interest income and total interest expense
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the corresponding
period in 1999 are largely due to increased loan volume, partially offset by an
increase in borrowings.
INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income was $3.0 billion for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $330.7 million from the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. Total interest-earning assets for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 averaged $56.1 billion, compared to $52.1 billion for
the corresponding period in 1999, primarily as a result of increased loan
volume. The yield on total interest-earning assets during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 increased to 7.24% from 6.94% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, primarily due to a higher percentage of loans to total
earning assets and the repricing of variable-rate earning assets.
GS Holdings earned $2.1 billion of interest income on loans receivable for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $363.7 million from the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The average balance of loans receivable
was $37.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to
$31.4 billion for the same period in 1999. The weighted average rate on loans
receivable increased to 7.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from
7.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in the average
balance reflects an increase in residential loan origination activity and new
auto loan production from the Downey Acquisition. The increase in the weighted
average rate reflects the repricing of variable-rate loans and an increase in
the prime rate on commercial banking loans, partially offset by lower rates on
new purchases of prime auto loans, including those purchased in the Downey
Acquisition.
GS Holdings earned $46.4 million of interest income on loans held for sale
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $49.6 million from
the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The average balance of loans held for
sale was $832 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease
of $1.1 billion from the comparable period in 1999, primarily attributed to a
reduction in fixed-rate originations due to higher interest rates, coupled with
longer holding periods for loans held for sale during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The weighted average rate on loans held for sale increased
to 7.44% for the nine months ended
Page 24
September 30, 2000 from 6.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
primarily due to higher market interest rates.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities available for sale was $625.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $20.3
million from the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The average portfolio
balance decreased $1.1 billion, to $12.5 billion, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The weighted average
yield on these assets increased from 6.32% for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 to 6.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in
the volume and the increase in the weighted average yield is primarily due to
the reclassification of $1.1 billion in mortgage-backed securities to the
held-to-maturity portfolio, run-off of existing portfolios and the sale of
approximately $688 million in mortgage-backed securities during the second and
third quarters of 2000, partially offset by the impact of purchases during the
fourth quarter of 1999.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities held to maturity was $149.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $11.5
million from the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The average portfolio
balance increased $169 million, to $2.6 billion, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999, primarily attributed to
the reclassification of $1.1 billion in mortgage-backed securities from the
available-for-sale portfolio, partially offset by the run-off of existing
portfolios. The run-off in these securities was replaced with the origination
and purchase of whole loans instead of additional mortgage-backed securities.
The weighted average rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
were 7.54% and 7.44%, respectively.
Interest income on securities and interest-bearing deposits in other banks
was $68.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of
$1.7 million from the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The average
portfolio balance was $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The higher weighted average rate of
6.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 5.97% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 reflects $2.4 million in interest income on
a federal income tax refund related to Old California Federal for periods prior
to the Golden State Acquisition for which there is no corresponding asset.
Dividends on FHLB stock were $70.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, an increase of $27.2 million from the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The average balance outstanding during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. The
weighted average dividend on FHLB stock increased to 7.35% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 from 5.24% for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. The increase in the average balance and weighted average yield is due to
an increase in the amount of such stock owned by the Company as a result of an
increase in borrowings under FHLB advances and an increase in the dividend rate
on FHLB stock.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense was $2.2 billion for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $359.5 million from the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. The increase is primarily the result of
additional borrowings under FHLB advances and securities sold under agreements
to repurchase used to fund loans and offset the reduction in deposit balances.
Interest expense on deposits, including brokered deposits, was $679.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $11.8
million from the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The average balance of
deposits outstanding decreased from $24.1 billion for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 to $23.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30,
2000. The decrease in the average balance includes declines in the average
balance of certificates of deposit, money market and passbook savings, offset in
part by an increase in the average balance of customer checking accounts and
custodial accounts. These changes reflect the Company's focus during 2000 on
consumer checking account growth. The overall weighted average cost of deposits
increased to 3.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 3.70% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, primarily due to rising market
interest rates.
Page 25
Interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase totalled
$267.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of
$79.5 million from the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The average balance
of such borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was
$5.6 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. The increase is primarily
attributed to the funding of loans and the purchase of mortgage-backed
securities in the fourth quarter of 1999, as well as deposit run-off. The
weighted average interest rate on these instruments increased to 6.34% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 5.14% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, primarily due to an increase in market rates on new
borrowings in 2000 compared to 1999.
Interest expense on borrowings totalled $1.2 billion for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $268.2 million from the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. The average balance outstanding for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $27.1 billion and $23.5 billion,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate on these instruments increased
to 6.05% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 5.51% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, primarily due to higher prevailing market rates
in 2000. The higher volume reflects the increase in FHLB advances used to fund
loans and the purchase of mortgage-backed securities in the fourth quarter of
1999.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income was $863.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $28.7 million from the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. The interest rate spread declined to 2.04% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 2.29% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, primarily as a result of maturities and repayments of lower
rate interest-bearing liabilities being replaced with interest-bearing
liabilities having comparatively higher rates. The effect of higher rates on
liabilities was partially offset by higher yielding assets replenishing asset
run-off in a rising rate environment and the repricing of variable-rate assets.
NONINTEREST INCOME. Total noninterest income, consisting primarily of loan
servicing fees, customer banking fees and gains on sales of assets, was $333.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, representing an increase
of $16.2 million from the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Loan servicing fees, net of amortization of mortgage servicing rights, were
$138.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $108.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The single-family
residential loan servicing portfolio, excluding loans serviced for the Bank,
increased from $72.3 billion at September 30, 1999 to $83.0 billion at September
30, 2000. Incremental loan servicing fees were partially offset by amortization
of MSRs. MSR amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 decreased
by $8.7 million from the nine months ended September 30, 1999 due to a reduction
in the estimated prepayment rate, partially offset by a higher MSR basis. Loan
servicing fees benefited from the slowdown in mortgage loan prepayments in 2000,
with an average prepayment rate on loans serviced for others of 8.5% during the
first nine months of 2000, compared to 19.3% in the comparable period in 1999.
Customer banking fees were $147.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $138.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The increase is primarily attributed to increased emphasis
by management on transaction account growth and higher fee income on mutual
fund, annuity and other security sales through Cal Fed Investments.
Gain on sale, settlement and transfer of loans, net totalled $37.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $12.2 million from
the nine months ended September 30, 1999. During the second quarter of 2000, the
Company recorded a $14.5 million reduction in its recourse liability. This
liability is a life-of-asset accrual. Given the paydowns which have occurred on
the underlying loans and the improving credit and real estate market conditions
present, the Company determined that the liability balance exceeded its estimate
of the required accrual for the remaining life of the recourse assets by $14.5
million. Gains attributed to early payoffs and settlement of commercial loans
with unamortized discounts were $5.9 million lower in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, California Federal sold $3.7 billion in single-family
mortgage loans originated for sale with servicing rights retained as part of its
ongoing mortgage banking operations compared to $8.7 billion of such sales for
the corresponding period in 1999, while the gains on such sales increased $3.7
million between the two periods.
Page 26
Net loss on sale of assets totalled $15.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to a net gain of $18.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. The loss during 2000 is primarily attributed to an
$18.7 million loss from the sale of approximately $500 million of
mortgage-backed securities with an average yield of 6.64% during the second
quarter and a $0.9 million loss from the sale of $187.6 million of
mortgage-backed securities with an average yield of 6.59% during the third
quarter, partially offset by a $1.3 million gain from the sale of interest rate
swaps with a notional amount of $284.0 million in August 2000. It is expected
that these sales will benefit both the net interest margin and the Company's
interest rate sensitivity in future periods. The $18.3 million gain reported in
1999 primarily relates to the $16.3 million gain on the Servicing Sale.
Other noninterest income was $25.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, a decrease of $1.2 million from the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, primarily attributed to the sale of the Eureka and Ukiah
branches in the third quarter of 1999.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest expense was $679.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $13.6 million compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The variance between the two periods
is primarily attributed to continued expense reduction efforts by the Company
and the completion of merger and integration efforts in the first half of 1999.
Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 included
decreases of $15.3 million in other noninterest expense, $11.3 million in
professional fees, $8.1 million in loan expense, $7.7 million in specific merger
and integration costs incurred in 1999 in connection with the Golden State
Acquisition and $5.5 million in amortization of intangible assets. These
decreases were partially offset by increases of $24.0 million in compensation
expense and $9.3 million in occupancy and equipment expense.
Compensation and employee benefits expense was $323.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $24.0 million from the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. The increase is primarily attributed to normal
salary increases and higher employment levels in expanding lines of business,
including the impact of additional employees from the Downey Acquisition.
Occupancy and equipment expense was $114.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $9.3 million from the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, primarily attributed to increased depreciation expense
related to a change in the depreciable lives of personal computers.
Professional fees were $28.4 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2000, a decrease of $11.3 million from the nine months ended September 30,
1999, primarily due to legal and consulting fee expenses incurred in 1999
related to goodwill litigation and the Y2K project.
Loan expense was $21.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2000, a decrease of $8.1 million from the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
primarily due to a decrease in pass-through interest expense on loans attributed
to a decrease in payoffs during 2000. Repayment rates on loans serviced for
others averaged 12.2% during the first nine months of 2000, a significant
decline from the 23.5% average experienced during the same period of 1999.
Merger and integration costs were $7.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, representing transition expenses, which include severance,
conversion and consolidation costs incurred in connection with the Golden State
Acquisition. Such costs were not incurred during the first nine months of 2000.
Amortization of intangible assets was $47.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $5.5 million from the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, primarily attributed to a lower goodwill base due to a $50.0
million reduction in goodwill in the first quarter of 2000, resulting from a
reduction in the valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax asset
(see "- Provision for Income Tax"), and a $38.2 million reduction in goodwill
resulting from an income tax refund received during the fourth quarter of 1999
related to Old California Federal. This decrease was partially offset by
amortization expense related to the $7.7 million and $50.7 million in goodwill
recorded in connection with the Downey Acquisition and the Nevada Purchase,
respectively.
Page 27
Other noninterest expense was $149.6 million in 2000 compared to $164.8
million in 1999. The decline in operating expenses is primarily attributed to
management's continued expense reduction efforts.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, GS Holdings recorded net income tax expense of $67.5 million and
$151.7 million, respectively. Based on favorable resolutions of federal income
tax audits of Old California Federal and Glendale Federal, and the current
status of Mafco's, including the Company's, audits for the years 1991 through
1995, management changed its judgment about the realizability of the Company's
deferred tax asset and reduced its valuation allowance by $211.7 million during
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. As a result of reducing the
valuation allowance, income tax expense was reduced by $161.7 million and
goodwill was reduced by $50.0 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, a federal income tax
benefit of $79.0 million was recognized and was offset by a corresponding
increase to minority interest: provision in lieu of income taxes. This federal
income tax benefit relates to pre-merger tax benefits, in the form of net
operating loss carryovers and other items, which are retained by the previous
owners of FN Holdings. To the extent these tax benefits are recognized, there is
a reduction in income tax expense, which is an offset by an increase in minority
interest: provision in lieu of income tax expense. These adjustments resulted
from 1998 tax filings in the third quarter of 1999.
GS Holdings' effective federal tax rate was 7% and 22% during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, while its federal
statutory tax rate was 35% during both periods. For the period ended September
30, 2000, the difference between the effective and statutory was primarily the
result of a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, partially
offset by nondeductible goodwill amortization. For the period ended September
30, 1999, the difference between the effective and statutory rates was primarily
the result of adjustments related to pre-merger tax benefits which are retained
by the previous owners of FN Holdings, partially offset by nondeductible
goodwill amortization. GS Holdings' effective state tax rate was 6% and 8%
during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The effective tax rate declined during 2000 as a result of changes in
management's estimates of the expected state tax liability of the Company.
MINORITY INTEREST. Dividends on the REIT Preferred Stock totalling $34.2
million were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Minority
interest expense relative to the REIT Preferred Stock is reflected net of
related income tax benefit of $14.0 million, which will inure to the Company as
a result of the deductibility of such dividends for income tax purposes.
Minority interest for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 included a
$79.0 million provision in lieu of income taxes, representing pre-merger tax
benefits retained by the previous owners of FN Holdings and $5.0 million in net
premiums paid in connection with the redemption of the Bank Preferred Stock.
Minority interest expense also included dividends on the Bank Preferred Stock
that had not yet been acquired by GS Holdings and the REIT Preferred Stock
totalling $1.8 million and $34.2 million, respectively. Minority interest
expense relative to the REIT Preferred Stock is reflected net of related income
tax benefit of $14.4 million which will inure to the Company as a result of the
deductibility of such dividends for income tax purposes. Minority interest
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 also included a $1.7
million benefit reversal representing that portion of Auto One's loss
attributable to the 20% interest in the common stock of Auto One that was issued
as part of the GSAC Acquisition.

The volume variances in total interest income and total interest expense
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the corresponding
period in 1999 are largely due to increased loan volume and purchases of
mortgage-backed securities in the fourth quarter of 1999, partially offset by an
increase in borrowings and the sale of mortgage-backed securities in 2000.
INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income was $1.1 billion for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $138.1 million from the three
months ended September 30, 1999. Total interest-earning assets for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 averaged $57.1 billion, compared to $53.0
billion for the corresponding period in 1999, primarily as a result of increased
loan volume. The yield on total interest-earning assets during the three months
ended September 30, 2000 increased to 7.39% from 6.92% for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, primarily due to a higher percentage of loans to total
earning assets and the repricing of variable-rate earning assets.
GS Holdings earned $742.1 million of interest income on loans receivable
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $155.0 million
from the three months ended September 30, 1999. The average balance of loans
receivable was $39.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
compared to $32.4 billion for the same period in 1999. The weighted average rate
on loans receivable increased to 7.59% for the three months ended September 30,
2000 from 7.25% for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in
the average balance reflects an increase in the residential loan origination
activity and new auto loan production from the Downey acquisition. The increase
in the weighted average rate reflects the repricing of variable-rate loans and
an increase in the prime rate on commercial banking loans, partially offset by
lower rates on new purchases of prime auto loans, including those purchased in
the Downey Acquisition.
GS Holdings earned $17.7 million of interest income on loans held for sale
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $10.5 million from
the three months ended September 30, 1999. The average balance of loans held for
sale was $926 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease
of $709 million from the comparable period in 1999, primarily attributed to a
reduction in fixed-rate originations due to higher interest rates, coupled with
longer holding periods for loans held for sale during the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The weighted average rate on loans held for sale increased
to 7.65% for the three months
Page 31
ended September 30, 2000 from 6.91% for the three months ended September 30,
1999, primarily due to higher market interest rates.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities available for sale was $189.7
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $32.3
million from the three months ended September 30, 1999. The average portfolio
balance decreased $2.6 billion, to $11.3 billion, for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The weighted average
yield on these assets increased from 6.38% for the three months ended September
30, 1999 to 6.73% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in
the volume and the increase in the weighted average yield are primarily due to
the reclassification of $1.1 billion in mortgage-backed securities to the
held-to-maturity portfolio, run-off of existing portfolios and the sale of
approximately $688 million of mortgage-backed securities during the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, partially offset by the impact of purchases during the
fourth quarter of 1999.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities held to maturity was $58.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $16.5
million from the three months ended September 30, 1999. The average portfolio
balance increased $793 million, to $3.1 billion, for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999, primarily attributed to
the reclassification of $1.1 billion in mortgage-backed securities from the
available-for-sale portfolio, partially offset by the run-off of existing
portfolios. The run-off in these securities was replaced with the origination
and purchase of whole loans instead of additional mortgage-backed securities.
The weighted average rates for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999 were 7.55% and 7.28%, respectively.
Interest income on securities and interest-bearing deposits in other banks
was $22.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of
$0.9 million from the three months ended September 30, 1999. The average
portfolio balance was $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The higher weighted average rate of
6.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 5.84% for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 reflects rising market interest rates.
Dividends on FHLB stock were $25.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, an increase of $10.2 million from the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The average balance outstanding during the three months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion,
respectively. The weighted average dividend on FHLB stock increased to 7.51% for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 from 5.22% for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The increase in the average balance and weighted average
yield is due to an increase in the amount of such stock owned by the Company as
a result of an increase in borrowings under FHLB advances and an increase in the
dividend rate on FHLB stock.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense was $769.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $139.2 million from the three
months ended September 30, 1999. The increase is primarily the result of
additional borrowings under FHLB advances used to fund loans and offset the
reduction in deposit balances.
Interest expense on deposits, including brokered deposits, was $236.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $12.7
million from the three months ended September 30, 1999. The average balance of
deposits outstanding decreased from $24.1 billion for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 to $23.4 billion for the three months ended September 30,
2000. The decrease in the average balance includes declines in the average
balance of certificates of deposit, money market and passbook savings, offset in
part by an increase in the average balance of customer checking accounts and
custodial accounts. These changes reflect the Company's focus during 2000 on
consumer checking account growth. The overall weighted average cost of deposits
increased to 4.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from 3.68% for
the three months ended September 30, 1999, primarily due to rising market
interest rates.
Interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase totalled
$94.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of
$14.4 million from the three months ended September 30, 1999. The average
balance of such borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999 was $5.4 billion and $5.8 billion, respectively. The decrease is primarily
attributed to a decline in the purchase of mortgage-backed securities during the
three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The
weighted
Page 32
average interest rate on these instruments increased to 6.83% for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 from 5.39% for the three months ended September
30, 1999, primarily due to an increase in market rates on new borrowings in 2000
compared to 1999.
Interest expense on borrowings totalled $439.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $112.1 million from the three months
ended September 30, 1999. The average balance outstanding for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $28.0 billion and $23.3 billion,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate on these instruments increased
to 6.23% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from 5.57% for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, primarily due to higher prevailing market rates
in 2000. The higher volume reflects the increase in FHLB advances used to fund
loans and the purchase of mortgage-backed securities in the fourth quarter of
1999.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income was $286.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $1.1 million from the three
months ended September 30, 1999. The interest rate spread declined to 2.01% for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 from 2.22% for the three months ended
September 30, 1999, primarily as a result of maturities and repayments of lower
rate interest-bearing liabilities being replaced with interest-bearing
liabilities having comparatively higher rates. The effect of higher rates on
liabilities was partially offset by higher yielding assets replenishing asset
run-off in a rising rate environment and the repricing of variable-rate assets.
NONINTEREST INCOME. Total noninterest income, consisting primarily of loan
servicing fees, customer banking fees and gains on sales of assets, was $115.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, representing an increase
of $12.1 million from the three months ended September 30, 1999.
Loan servicing fees, net of amortization of mortgage servicing rights, were
$48.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $38.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The single-family
residential loan servicing portfolio, excluding loans serviced for the Bank,
increased from $72.3 billion at September 30, 1999 to $83.0 billion at September
30, 2000. Incremental loan servicing fees were partially offset by amortization
of MSRs. MSR amortization for the quarter decreased by $1.0 million from the
three months ended September 30, 1999 due to a reduction in the estimated
prepayment rate, partially offset by a higher MSR basis. Loan servicing fees
benefited from the slowdown in mortgage loan prepayments in 2000, with an
average prepayment rate on loans serviced for others of 9.1% in the third
quarter of 2000, compared to 13.3% in the comparable period in 1999.
Customer banking fees were $48.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $47.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The increase is primarily attributed to increased emphasis
by management on transaction account growth and higher fee income on mutual
fund, annuity and other security sales through Cal Fed Investments.
Gain on sale, settlement and transfer of loans, net totalled $10.5 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $5.6 million from
the three months ended September 30, 1999. During the three months ended
September 30, 2000, California Federal sold $1.4 billion in single-family
mortgage loans originated for sale with servicing rights retained as part of its
ongoing mortgage banking operations compared to $2.9 billion of such sales for
the corresponding period in 1999, while the gain on such sales increased $5.3
million between the two periods. Gains attributed to early payoffs and
settlement of commercial loans with unamortized discounts were $0.3 million
higher in the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period
in 1999.
Net gain on sale of assets totalled $0.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The gain during 2000 is primarily attributed to a $1.3
million gain from the sale of interest rate swaps with a notional amount of
$284.0 million, partially offset by a $0.9 million loss from the sale of $187.6
million of mortgage-backed securities with an average yield of 6.59%. See "-
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 versus Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999
- - Noninterest Income."
Page 33
Other noninterest income was $7.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, a decrease of $2.2 million from the three months ended
September 30, 1999, primarily attributed to the sale of the Eureka and Ukiah
branches in the third quarter of 1999.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Total noninterest expense was $228.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $9.6 million compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1999. The variance between the two periods
is primarily attributed to normal inflation rates and investments in expanding
lines of business. Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30,
2000 included increases of $10.8 million in compensation expense, $3.9 million
in occupancy and equipment, and $2.3 million related to lower gains from
foreclosed real estate operations. These increases were partially offset by
decreases of $3.5 million in other noninterest expense, $2.2 million in
amortization of intangible assets and $1.8 million in professional fees.
Compensation and employee benefits expense was $108.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $10.8 million from the three
months ended September 30, 1999. The increase is primarily attributed to normal
salary increases and higher employment levels in expanding lines of business,
including the impact of additional employees from the Downey Acquisition.
Occupancy and equipment expense was $40.7 million and $36.9 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This increase
reflects an increase in depreciation expense related to a change in the
depreciable lives of personal computers.
Professional fees were $10.8 million for the three months ended September
30, 2000, a decrease of $1.8 million from the three months ended September 30,
1999, primarily due to expenses incurred in 1999 attributed to the Y2K project
and goodwill litigation.
Amortization of intangible assets was $15.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of $2.2 million from the three months ended
September 30, 1999, primarily attributed to a lower goodwill base due to a $50.0
million reduction in goodwill in the first quarter of 2000, resulting from a
reduction in the valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax asset,
and a $38.2 million reduction resulting from an income tax refund received
during the fourth quarter of 1999 related to Old California Federal. These
decreases were partially offset by amortization expense related to the $7.7
million in goodwill recorded in connection with the Downey Acquisition.
Other noninterest expense was $46.5 million in 2000 compared to $50.1
million in 1999. The decline in operating expenses is primarily attributed to
management's continued expense reduction efforts.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX. During the three months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, GS Holdings recorded income tax expense of $75.4 million and an income
tax benefit of $3.0 million, respectively.
GS Holdings' effective federal tax rate were 38% and (10)% during the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, while its federal
statutory tax rate was 35% during both periods. For the period ended September
30, 2000, the difference between the effective and statutory rates was primarily
the result of nondeductible goodwill amortization. For the period ended
September 30, 1999, the difference between the effective and statutory rates was
primarily the result of adjustments related to pre-merger tax benefits, in the
form of net operating loss carryovers and other items, which are retained by the
previous owners of FN Holdings partially offset by nondeductible goodwill
amortization. GS Holdings' effective state tax rate was 6% and 8% during each of
the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The effective
tax rate declined during 2000 as a result of changes in management's estimates
of the expected state tax liability of the Company.
Page 34
MINORITY INTEREST. Minority interest expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 includes dividends on the REIT Preferred Stock totalling
$11.4 million. Minority interest expense relative to the REIT Preferred Stock is
reflected net of related income tax benefit of $4.6 million, which will inure to
the Company as a result of the deductibility of such dividends for income tax
purposes.
Minority interest for the three months ended September 30, 1999 included a
$79.0 million provision in lieu of income taxes, representing pre-merger tax
benefits retained by the previous owners of FN Holdings and $1.8 million in net
premiums paid in connection with the redemption of the Bank Preferred Stock.
Dividends on the REIT Preferred Stock totalling $11.4 million were also recorded
during the three months ended September 30, 1999. Minority interest expense
relative to the REIT Preferred Stock is reflected net of related income tax
benefit of $4.8 million which will inure to the Company as a result of the
deductibility of such dividends for income tax purposes.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is periodically evaluated by
management to maintain the allowance at a level that is sufficient to absorb
expected loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions
for loan losses as well as by balances acquired through acquisitions and is
decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). The Company charges current
earnings with a provision for estimated credit losses on loans receivable. The
provision considers both specifically identified problem loans as well as credit
risks not specifically identified in the loan portfolio. See "- Problem and
Potential Problem Assets" for a discussion of the methodology used in
determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The Company recorded
no provision for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $10 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999; and no provision for loan losses was recorded
during the third quarter of 1999.
The decrease in the provision for loan losses during the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 reflects
management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance based on, among other
things, past loan loss experience and known and inherent risks in the portfolio,
evidenced in part by the continued decline in the Company's level of
non-performing assets. In addition, management's periodic evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses considers potential adverse situations
that have occurred but are not yet known that may affect the borrower's ability
to repay, the estimated value of underlying collateral and economic conditions.
Activity in the allowance for loan losses is as follows (in thousands):

Although management believes that the allowance for loan losses is
adequate, it will continue to review its loan portfolio to determine the extent
to which any changes in economic conditions or loss experience may require
further provisions in the future.
Page 35
PROBLEM AND POTENTIAL PROBLEM ASSETS
The Company considers a loan impaired when, based upon current information
and events, it is "probable" that it will be unable to collect all amounts due
(i.e., both principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the
loan agreement. Any insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in amount of
payments will not cause a loan to be considered impaired. In determining
impairment, the Company considers large non-homogeneous loans including
nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, and performing loans that
exhibit, among other characteristics, high LTV ratios, low debt-coverage ratios
or other indications that the borrowers are experiencing increased levels of
financial difficulty. Loans collectively reviewed for impairment by the Company
include all single-family loans, business banking loans under $100,000 and
performing multi-family and commercial real estate loans under $500,000,
excluding loans which have entered the work-out process.
The measurement of impairment may be based on (a) the present value of the
expected future cash flows of the impaired loan discounted at the loan's
original effective interest rate, (b) the observable market price of the
impaired loan, or (c) the fair value of the collateral of a collateral-dependent
loan. The Company bases the measurement of collateral-dependent impaired loans
on the fair value of the loan's collateral, less disposal costs. The amount, if
any, by which the recorded investment of the loan exceeds the measure of the
impaired loan's value is recognized by recording a valuation allowance. Large
groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for
impairment.
Cash receipts on impaired loans not performing according to contractual
terms are generally used to reduce the carrying value of the loan, unless the
Company believes it will recover the remaining principal balance of the loan.
Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses. Upon
disposition of an impaired loan, loss of principal, if any, is recorded through
a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses.
At September 30, 2000, loans that were considered to be impaired totalled
$101.4 million (of which $13.0 million were on nonaccrual status). The average
recorded investment in impaired loans during the nine and three-month periods
ended September 30, 2000 was approximately $96.5 million and $94.8 million,
respectively. For the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2000, GS
Holdings recognized interest income on those impaired loans of $6.5 million and
$2.3 million, respectively, which included $0.5 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, of interest income recognized using the cash basis method of
income recognition.
Page 36
The following table presents the Company's non-performing loans, foreclosed
real estate, repossessed assets, troubled debt restructurings and impaired loans
as of the dates indicated. These categories are not mutually exclusive; certain
loans are included in more than one classification. Purchased sub-prime auto
loans are reflected as non-performing, impaired or restructured using each
individual loan's contractual unpaid principal balance.

The Company places a high degree of emphasis on the management of its asset
portfolio. The Company has three distinct asset management functions: performing
loan asset management, problem loan asset management and credit review. Each of
these three functions is charged with the responsibility of reducing the risk
profile within the commercial, multi-family and other asset portfolios by
applying asset management and risk evaluation techniques that are consistent
with the Company's portfolio management strategy and regulatory requirements. In
addition to these asset management functions, the Company has a specialized
credit risk management group that is charged with the development of credit
policies and performing credit risk analyses for all asset portfolios.

At September 30, 2000, the Company had one non-performing asset over $2
million with a balance of $2.3 million. At September 30, 2000, the Company had
3,432 non-performing assets below $2 million in size, including 1,003
non-performing 1-4 unit residential assets.
An allowance is maintained to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
The adequacy of the allowance is periodically evaluated and is based on past
loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse
situations that have occurred but are not yet known that may affect the
borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of underlying collateral and
economic conditions. Management's methodology for assessing the adequacy of the
allowance includes the evaluation of the following three key elements: the
formula allowance, specific allowances for identified problem loans and the
unallocated allowance.
The formula allowance is determined by applying loss factors against all
non-impaired loans. Loss factors may be adjusted for significant factors that,
in management's judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the
evaluation date. Loss factors are calculated based on migration models that
estimate the probability that loans will become delinquent and ultimately result
in foreclosure over a period of between one and 2.5 years, depending on the loan
type, and the rates of loss that have been experienced on foreclosed loans. The
foreclosure migration and loss severity rates are then averaged over the past
eight years in order to capture experience across a period that management
believes approximates a business cycle. A contingency factor is then added to
provide for the modeling risk associated with imprecision in estimating inherent
loan losses.
Page 38
The specific allowances are established against individual loans, including
impaired loans. Specific allowances are established against individual
residential 1-4 mortgage loans, commercial loans and commercial real estate
loans for which management has performed analyses and concluded that, based on
current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Generally, management believes that collectibility is improbable if a
loan is severely delinquent or if it has been determined that borrower cash flow
is inadequate for debt repayment. The amount of specific allowance is determined
by an estimation of collateral deficiency, including consideration of costs that
will likely be incurred through the disposal of any repossessed collateral. In
other words, management estimates the fair value of collateral, net of the cost
of disposition of the collateral, and the fair value is compared to the net book
value of the loan. If the net book value exceeds the fair value, a specific
allowance is established in an amount equal to the excess. Loans evaluated for
specific allowance are excluded from the formula allowance analysis so as not to
double-count loss exposure.
The unallocated allowance is established for inherent losses which may not
have been identified through the more objective processes used to derive the
formula and specific portions of the allowance. The unallocated portion is
necessarily more subjective and requires a high degree of management judgment
and experience. Management has identified several factors that impact the
potential for credit losses that are not considered in either the formula or the
specific allowance segments. These factors consist of industry and geographic
loan concentrations, changes in the composition of loan portfolios through
acquisitions and new business strategies, changes in underwriting processes, and
trends in problem loan and loss recovery rates. Each factor is analyzed and
assigned a range of values. At this time, management has chosen an unallocated
allowance amount at the mid-point of the range for each factor.
At September 30, 2000, the allowance for loan losses was $530 million,
consisting of a $377 million formula allowance, a $23 million specific allowance
and a $130 million unallocated allowance.
Although the loan loss allowance has been allocated by type of loan for
internal valuation purposes, $507 million of the allowance is general in nature
and is available to support any losses which may occur, regardless of type, in
the Company's loan portfolio. A summary of the activity in the total allowance
for loan losses by loan type is as follows:

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Banks and savings associations are subject to interest rate risk to the
degree that their interest-bearing liabilities, consisting principally of
deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances,
mature or reprice more or less frequently, or on a different basis, than their
interest-earning assets. A key element of the banking business is the monitoring
and management of liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The process of planning
and controlling asset and liability mixes, volumes and maturities to influence
the net interest spread is referred to as asset and liability management. The
objective of the Company's asset and liability management is to maximize its net
interest income over changing interest rate cycles within the constraints
imposed by prudent lending and investing practices, liquidity needs and capital
planning.
GS Holdings, through the Bank, actively pursues investment and funding
strategies intended to minimize the sensitivity of its earnings to interest rate
fluctuations. The Company measures the interest rate sensitivity of its balance
sheet through gap and duration analysis, as well as net interest income and
market value simulation. After taking into consideration both the variability of
rates and the maturities of various instruments, it evaluates strategies which
may reduce the sensitivity of its earnings to interest rate and market value
fluctuations. An important decision is the selection of interest-bearing
liabilities and the generation of interest-earning assets which best match
relative to interest rate changes. In order to reduce interest rate risk by
increasing the percentage of interest sensitive assets, the Company has
continued its emphasis on the origination of adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM")
products for its portfolio. Where possible, the Company seeks to originate real
estate and other loans that reprice frequently. At September 30, 2000,
approximately 77% of the Company's loan portfolio consisted of ARMs.
One of the most important sources of the Bank's net income is net interest
income, which is the difference between the combined yield earned on
interest-earning assets and the combined rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities. Net interest income is also dependent on the relative balances of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
ARMs have, from time to time, been offered with low initial interest rates
as marketing inducements. In addition, most ARMs are subject to periodic
interest rate adjustment caps or floors. In a period of rising interest rates,
ARMs could reach a periodic adjustment cap while still at a rate significantly
below their contractual margin over existing market rates. Since repricing
liabilities are typically not subject to such interest rate adjustment
constraints, the Company's net interest margin would most likely be negatively
impacted in this situation. Certain ARMs now offered by the Company have a fixed
monthly payment for a given period, with any changes as a result of market
interest rates reflected in the unpaid principal balance through negative
amortization.
A traditional measure of interest rate risk within the savings industry is
the interest rate sensitivity gap, which is the sum of all interest-earning
assets minus the sum of all interest-bearing liabilities to be repriced within
the same period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate
sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, while the opposite
results in a negative gap. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative
gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, and a positive gap would
tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling
rates, the opposite would tend to occur.
Page 40
The following table sets forth the projected maturities based upon
contractual maturities as adjusted for projected prepayments and "repricing
mechanisms" (provisions for changes in the interest rates of assets and
liabilities). Prepayment rates are assumed in each period on substantially all
of the Company's loan portfolio based upon expected loan prepayments. Repricing
mechanisms on the Company's assets are subject to limitations, such as caps on
the amount that interest rates and payments on its loans may adjust.
Accordingly, such assets may not respond in the same manner or to the same
extent to changes in interest rates as the Company's liabilities. In addition,
the interest rate sensitivity of the assets and liabilities illustrated in the
table would vary substantially if different assumptions were used or if actual
experience differed from the assumptions set forth. The Company's estimated
interest rate sensitivity gap at September 30, 2000 was as follows:

applicable, and (c) projected repayments and prepayments of principal, if
applicable. Prepayments were estimated generally by using the
prepayment rates forecast by various large brokerage firms as of
September 30, 2000. The actual maturity and rate sensitivity of these
assets could vary substantially if future prepayments differ from
prepayment estimates.
(2) Consists of $74 million of short-term investment securities and less than

Money market deposit accounts, demand deposit accounts and passbook
accounts are reflected as maturing within one year.
At September 30, 2000, GS Holdings' cumulative gap totalled $(204) million.
At December 31, 1999, GS Holdings' cumulative gap totalled $(693) million.
The Company utilizes computer modeling, under various interest rate
scenarios, to provide a dynamic view of the effects of the changes in rates,
spreads, and yield curve shifts on net interest income. However, the
maturity/rate sensitivity analysis is a static view of the balance sheet with
assets and liabilities grouped into certain defined time periods, and only
partially depicts the dynamics of the Company's sensitivity to interest rate
changes. Therefore, this analysis may not fully describe the complexity of
relationships between product features and pricing, market rates and future
management of the balance sheet mix.
The Company's risk management policies are established by the
Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") of the Bank. ALCO meets monthly to
formulate the Bank's investment and risk management strategies. The basic
responsibilities of ALCO include management of net interest income and market
value of portfolio equity to measure the stability of earnings, management of
liquidity to provide adequate funding, and the establishment of asset product
priorities by formulating performance evaluation criteria, risk evaluation
techniques and a system to standardize the analysis and reporting of
originations, competitive trends, profitability and risk. On a quarterly basis,
the Board of Directors of the Bank is apprised of ALCO strategies adopted and
their impact on operations, and, at least annually, the Board of Directors of
the Bank reviews the Bank's interest rate risk management policy statements.
LIQUIDITY
The standard measure of liquidity in the savings industry is the ratio of
cash and short-term U.S. Government securities and other specified securities to
deposits and borrowings due within one year. The OTS established a minimum
liquidity requirement for the Bank of 4.00%. California Federal has been in
compliance with the liquidity regulations during the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999.
The major source of funding for GS Holdings on an unconsolidated basis is
distributions of the Bank's earnings and tax sharing payments. Net income
generated by the Bank is used to meet its cash flow needs, including paying
dividends on its preferred stock owned by the Company, and may be distributed,
subject to certain restrictions, to GS Holdings. In turn, GS Holdings uses
distributions received from the Bank primarily to meet debt service
requirements, pay any expenses it may incur, and make distributions to Golden
State, subject to certain restrictions. For more information on dividend
restrictions for the Bank and GS Holdings, refer to "Business - Regulation and
Supervision" and note 26 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in
the Company's 1999 Form 10-K.
Page 42
On a consolidated basis, a major source of the Company's funding is
expected to be the Bank's retail deposit branch network, which management
believes will be sufficient to meet its long-term liquidity needs. The ability
of the Company to retain and attract new deposits is dependent upon the variety
and effectiveness of its customer account products, customer service and
convenience, and rates paid to customers. The Company also obtains funds from
the repayment and maturities of loans and mortgage-backed securities, while
additional funds can be obtained from a variety of other sources, including
customer and brokered deposits, loan sales, securities sold under agreements to
repurchase, FHLB advances, and other secured and unsecured borrowings. It is
anticipated that FHLB advances and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase will continue to be important sources of funding, and management
expects there to be adequate collateral for such funding requirements.
Interest on the GS Holdings Notes approximates $142.5 million per year.
Although GS Holdings expects that distributions and tax sharing payments from
the Bank will be sufficient to make required interest and principal payments,
there can be no assurance that earnings from the Bank will be sufficient to make
such distributions to GS Holdings. In addition, there can be no assurance that
such distributions will be permitted by the terms of any debt instruments of GS
Holdings' subsidiaries then in effect, by the terms of any class of preferred
stock issued by the Bank or its subsidiaries, including the REIT Preferred
Stock, or under applicable federal thrift laws.
The Company anticipates that cash and cash equivalents on hand, the cash
flows from assets as well as other sources of funds will provide adequate
liquidity for its operating, investing and financing needs and the Bank's
regulatory liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. In addition to
cash and cash equivalents of $656.9 million at September 30, 2000, the Company
has substantial additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and other sources.
The consolidated Company's primary uses of funds are the origination or
purchase of loans, the purchase of mortgage-backed securities, the funding of
maturing certificates of deposit, demand deposit withdrawals, the repayment of
borrowings and dividends to common shareholders. Certificates of deposit
scheduled to mature during the twelve months ending September 30, 2001 aggregate
$10.0 billion. The Company may renew these certificates, attract new replacement
deposits, replace such funds with other borrowings, or it may elect to reduce
the size of the balance sheet. In addition, at September 30, 2000, GS Holdings
had FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other
borrowings aggregating $19.3 billion maturing or repricing within twelve months.
The Company may elect to pay off such debt or to replace such borrowings with
additional FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase or
other borrowings at prevailing rates.
As presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of cash
flows, the sources of liquidity vary between periods. The primary sources of
funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $29.5 billion in
proceeds from additional borrowings, $3.5 billion in proceeds from sales of
loans held for sale, $1.8 billion in principal payments on mortgage-backed
securities available for sale and held to maturity, and $667 million in proceeds
from sales of mortgage-backed securities available for sale. The primary uses of
funds were $26.8 billion in principal payments on borrowings, a $3.7 billion net
increase in loans receivable, $3.8 billion in purchases and originations of
loans held for sale, $1.2 billion in purchases of loans receivable and $379.3
million for the Downey Acquisition.
MORTGAGE BANKING OPERATIONS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company,
through the Bank's wholly owned mortgage bank subsidiary, FNMC, acquired
mortgage-servicing rights on loan portfolios of $13.5 billion and $12.9 billion,
respectively. The 1-4 unit residential loans serviced for others (including
loans sub-serviced for others and excluding loans serviced for the Bank)
totalled $83.0 billion at September 30, 2000, an increase of $10.1 billion and
$10.7 billion from December 31, 1999 and September 30, 1999, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Bank, through
FNMC, originated $10.3 billion and $12.9 billion, respectively, and sold
(generally with servicing retained) $3.7 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively,
of 1-4 unit residential loans. Gross revenues from mortgage loan servicing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 totalled $234.0 million,
an increase of $28.0 million from the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Gross loan servicing fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were
reduced by $146.8 million of amortization of servicing rights to arrive at net
loan servicing fees of $87.2 million.
Page 43
A decline in long-term interest rates generally results in an acceleration
of mortgage loan prepayments. Higher than anticipated levels of prepayments
generally cause the accelerated amortization of mortgage servicing rights
("MSRs"), and generally will result in a reduction in the market value of MSRs
and in the Company's servicing fee income. To reduce the sensitivity of its
earnings to interest rate and market value fluctuations, the Company hedged the
change in value of its MSRs based on changes in interest rates ("MSR Hedge").
The Company owned several derivative instruments at September 30, 2000
which were used to hedge against prepayment risk in its mortgage servicing
portfolio. These derivative instruments included Constant Maturity Swap interest
rate floor contracts, swaptions and principal only swaps. The estimated fair
value of all derivatives used to hedge prepayment risk was $50.8 million at
September 30, 2000. The interest rate floor contracts had a notional amount of
$1.5 billion, strike rates between 5.70% and 7.13%, mature in the years 2002 and
2003, and had an estimated fair value of $24.4 million at September 30, 2000.
Premiums paid to counterparties in exchange for cash payments when the 10-year
Constant Maturity Swap rate falls below the strike rate are recorded as part of
the MSR asset on the balance sheet. The swaption contracts had a notional amount
of $1.4 billion, strike rates between 6.50% and 7.88%, expire in the years 2002
and 2003, and had an estimated fair value of $34.7 million at September 30,
2000. Premiums paid to counterparties in exchange for the right to enter into an
interest rate swap are recorded as part of the MSR asset on the balance sheet.
Principal only swap agreements had notional amounts of $195.5 million and an
estimated fair value of $(8.3) million at September 30, 2000.
The following is a summary of activity in MSRs (including non-residential
MSRs) and the MSR Hedge for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 (in
millions):

Capitalized MSRs are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of,
estimated net servicing income. SFAS No. 125 requires enterprises to measure the
impairment of MSRs based on the difference between the carrying amount of the
MSRs and their current fair value. At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
no allowance for impairment of the MSRs was necessary.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
OTS capital regulations require savings associations to satisfy three
minimum capital requirements: tangible capital, core (leverage) capital, and
risk-based capital.
TANGIBLE CAPITAL. Tangible capital is the sum of common stockholder's
equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock
and minority interest in equity accounts of fully consolidated subsidiaries,
less disallowed intangibles. Tangible capital must be at least 1.5% of adjusted
total assets.
CORE CAPITAL. Core capital generally is the sum of tangible capital plus
certain other qualifying intangibles. Under the leverage requirement, a savings
association is required to maintain core capital equal to a minimum of 4% of
adjusted total assets.
Page 44
RISK-BASED CAPITAL. Risk-based capital equals the sum of core capital plus
supplementary capital. Risk-based capital must be at least 8% of risk-weighted
assets.
RISK-WEIGHTED ASSETS. Risk-weighted assets equal assets plus the credit
risk equivalent of certain off-balance sheet items, multiplied by the
appropriate risk weight.
SUPPLEMENTARY CAPITAL. Supplementary capital includes certain permanent
capital instruments, such as qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock, as
well as some forms of term capital instruments, such as qualifying subordinated
debt. Supplementary capital may not exceed 100% of core capital for purposes of
the risk-based requirement.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. These capital requirements discussed above are viewed
as minimum standards by the OTS, and most associations are expected to maintain
capital levels well above the minimum. In addition, the OTS regulations provide
that minimum capital levels higher than those provided in the regulations may be
established by the OTS for individual savings associations, depending upon their
circumstances. These capital requirements are currently applicable to the Bank
but not to GS Holdings. The Bank is not subject to any such individual
regulatory capital requirement that is higher than the minimum.
At September 30, 2000, the Bank's regulatory capital levels exceeded the
minimum regulatory capital requirements, with tangible, core and risk-based
capital ratios of 6.25%, 6.25% and 13.20%, respectively. The following is a
reconciliation of the Bank's stockholder's equity to regulatory capital as of
September 30, 2000:

The amount of adjusted total assets used for the tangible and leverage
capital ratios is $59.9 billion. Risk-weighted assets used for the risk-based
capital ratio amounted to $31.9 billion.
Page 45
The Bank is also subject to the "prompt corrective action" standards
prescribed in FDICIA and related OTS regulations, which, among other things,
define specific capital categories based on an association's capital ratios. The
capital categories, in declining order, are "well capitalized," "adequately
capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and
"critically undercapitalized." Under the regulation, the ratio of total capital
to risk-weighted assets, core capital to risk-weighted assets and the leverage
capital ratio are used to determine an association's capital classification. The
Bank met the capital requirements of a "well capitalized" institution under the
FDICIA prompt corrective action standards as of September 30, 2000. The Bank is
not presently subject to any enforcement action or other regulatory proceeding
with respect to the prompt corrective action regulation.
At September 30, 2000, the Bank's capital levels were sufficient for it to
be considered "well capitalized," as presented below.
Risk-based
Leverage ---------------------------
Capital Tier 1 Total Capital
------- ------ -------------
Regulatory capital of the Bank 6.25% 11.69% 13.20%
"Well capitalized" ratio 5.00 6.00 10.00
---- ----- -----
Excess above "well capitalized" ratio 1.25% 5.69% 3.20%
==== ===== =====
OTS capital regulations allow a savings association to include a net
deferred tax asset in regulatory capital, subject to certain limitations. To the
extent that the realization of a deferred tax asset depends on a savings
association's future taxable income, such deferred tax asset is limited for
regulatory capital purposes to the lesser of the amount that can be realized
within one year or 10 percent of core capital. At September 30, 2000, $10
million of the net tax benefit was determined to be attributable to the amount
of taxable income that may be realized in periods beyond one year. Accordingly,
such amount has been excluded from the Bank's regulatory capital at September
30, 2000.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
GOODWILL LITIGATION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT
On April 9, 1999, the Claims Court issued its decision on a claim by the
Bank against the United States Government (the "Government") in the lawsuit,
GLENDALE FEDERAL BANK, FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK V. UNITED STATES, Civil Action No.
90-772-C (the "Glendale Goodwill Litigation"), ruling that the Government must
compensate the Bank in the sum of $908.9 million. This decision was appealed by
the Government and the Bank. After all appellate briefs were filed by both the
Government and the Bank, oral argument on the appeal took place in conjunction
with the argument in the California Federal Goodwill Litigation (as defined
herein) on July 7, 2000.
On April 16, 1999, the Claims Court issued its decision on a claim by the
Bank against the Government in the lawsuit, CALIFORNIA FEDERAL BANK V. UNITED
STATES, Civil Action No. 92-138C (the "California Federal Goodwill Litigation"),
ruling that the Government must compensate the Bank in the sum of $23.0 million.
The summary judgment liability decision by the first Claims Court Judge has been
appealed by the Government and the damage award by the second Claims Court Judge
has been appealed by the Bank. After all appellate briefs were filed, oral
argument in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals took place in conjunction with
the appellate argument in the Glendale Goodwill Litigation on July 7, 2000.
In each of the Glendale Goodwill Litigation and the California Federal
Goodwill Litigation, it is alleged, among other things, that the United States
breached certain contractual commitments regarding the computation of its
regulatory capital for which each of Glendale Federal and California Federal
seek damages and restitution. The claims arose from changes made by the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 and its
implementing regulations ("FIRREA") with respect to the rules for computing
regulatory capital.
OTHER LITIGATION
In addition to the matters described above, GS Holdings and its
subsidiaries are involved in other legal proceedings on claims incidental to the
normal conduct of their business. Although it is impossible to predict the
outcome of any outstanding legal proceedings, management believes that such
legal proceedings and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a
material effect on GS Holdings or the Bank.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
