NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2000. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 1999 included in the Westcorp Form 10-K.
Certain amounts from the 1999 consolidated financial statement amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 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 137"). This Statement defers for one year the effective date of FASB
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
("SFAS 133"). These statements provide guidance for the way public enterprises
report information about derivatives and hedging in annual financial statements
and in interim financial reports. The derivatives and hedging disclosure is
required for financial statements of all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. These Statements will require us to recognize all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges
must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in fair value of derivatives will
either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in earnings. The
ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately
recognized in earnings. We are in the process of evaluating the effect that SFAS
133, if any, will have on our earnings and financial position.

NOTE 5 - SECURITIZED ASSETS AND CAPITALIZED SERVICING RIGHTS
Following a transfer of financial assets, we must recognize the assets we
control and the liabilities we have incurred, and derecognize assets for which
control has been surrendered and liabilities that have been extinguished.
Retained Interest in Securitized Assets
RISA is capitalized upon the sale of contracts to securitization trusts. RISA
represents the present value of the estimated future earnings to be received by
us from the excess spread created in securitization transactions. Excess spread
is calculated by taking the coupon rate of the contracts sold less the interest
rate paid to the investors less contractually specified servicing, guarantor
fees, credit losses and prepayments.
Prepayment and credit loss assumptions are also utilized to estimate future
excess spread. We currently use a prepayment rate of 1.6% Absolute Prepayment
Model ("ABS"). Credit losses are estimated using a cumulative loss rate
estimated by management to reduce the likelihood of impairment to the value of
the RISA. We determine the cumulative loss rate based upon our review of
historical cumulative loss experience, collection and
9

WESTCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
repossession data, estimates of the value of the underlying collateral, economic
conditions and trends, the mix of prime and non-prime contracts and other
information. Cumulative net credit loss assumptions utilized during 2000 and
1999 ranged from 6% to 7%. Future earnings are discounted at a rate we believe
to be representative of the market at the time of securitization. Currently, we
use a discount rate of 425 basis points over the two-year Treasury rate. All
assumptions used are evaluated each quarter and adjusted, if appropriate, to
reflect actual performance of the contracts.
The balance of the RISA is amortized on a monthly basis over the expected
repayment life of the underlying contracts. Actual cash flows in excess of the
amortization of the RISA are shown in our income statement as retained interest
income. RISA is classified in a manner similar to available for sale securities
and as such is marked to market each quarter. Market value changes are
calculated by discounting the excess spread using a current market discount
rate. Any changes in the market value of the RISA are reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity on our consolidated statements of financial
condition as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable
taxes.
The following table presents the activity of the RISA:

Ending balance $ 164,640 $ 189,929
========= =========
(1) Change in unrealized gain or loss represents the effect that current
changes in interest rates have on the valuation of the RISA. Such amount
will not be realized unless the RISA is sold.
Estimated future undiscounted RISA earnings are calculated by taking the
difference between the coupon rate of the contracts sold and the interest rate
paid to the investors, less the contractually specified servicing fee and
guarantor fees, after giving effect to estimated prepayments and assuming no
losses. To arrive at the RISA, this amount is reduced by the off balance sheet
allowance established for probable future losses which can be reasonably
estimated and by discounting to present value.

We believe that the off balance sheet allowance for credit losses is currently
adequate to absorb probable future losses in the sold portfolio that can be
reasonably estimated.
NOTE 6 - SECURED FINANCINGS
In March 2000, we securitized $1.2 billion of automobile contracts in the
asset-backed securities market. Of the $1.2 billion securitized, $540 million
was treated as a secured financing for accounting purposes. The amount
outstanding on the secured financing at March 31, 2000 was $540 million. The
Class A-1 Notes were rated A-1+ by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") and
P-1 by Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's"). The Class A-2, A-3 and A-4
Notes were rated AAA by S&P and Aaa by Moody's. Timely principal and interest
payments on the Notes are guaranteed by an insurance policy. Interest payments
on the Notes are due quarterly, in arrears, based on the respective Note's
interest rate. Interest expense totaled $2.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000.
NOTE 7 - CONDUIT FACILITY
In September 1999, we established a $500 million conduit facility secured by
automobile contracts in a private placement. The amount outstanding on the
credit facility at December 31, 1999 was $461 million. The Notes were rated AAA
by S&P and Aaa by Moody's. Timely principal and interest payments on the Notes
were guaranteed by an insurance policy. Interest payments on the Notes were due
quarterly, in arrears, calculated at a commercial paper index rate plus 30 basis
points. The conduit facility was paid off on March 15, 2000.
NOTE 8 - DIVIDENDS
On December 16, 1999, we declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share for
shareholders of record as of January 14, 2000 which was paid on January 28,
2000. On February 15, 2000, we declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share for
shareholders of record as of April 27, 2000 which was paid on May 11, 2000. On
May 4, 2000, we declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share for shareholders of
record as of July 3, 2000 payable July 17, 2000.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
and does not include the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock
equivalents. The diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive
effect of outstanding stock options.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

$13.25 to $18.69 and from $9.06 to $18.69 at March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of
the common shares, and therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.
NOTE 10 - RIGHTS OFFERING
We filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
May 5, 2000 relating to the offering of subscription rights to our shareholders.
We will distribute to holders of record of our outstanding common stock, at no
cost, subscription rights to purchase additional shares of common stock at a
discount to the market price. Holders of our common stock will receive one basic
subscription right for each share of common stock held by them as of the close
of business on the record date, which is expected to be on or around May 25,
2000, or such later date on or after which the Registration Statement as to the
subscription rights and the common stock to be issued upon exercise of the
subscription rights becomes effective.
Holders of subscription rights will be entitled to purchase one share of our
stock for each 5.0 rights which they hold. The subscription rights are
transferable and are expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol "WES Rt" until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time of the trading day
preceding the expiration date. The expiration date is expected to be on or
around June 15, 2000. Stockholders who exercise their basic subscription rights
in full will also have the right to oversubscribe to purchase additional shares
of our common stock at the offering price on a pro rata basis, to the extent any
shares being registered for sale remain available at the expiration date.

As soon as practicable after the record date, we expect to mail to our
stockholders of record a final prospectus for this rights offering accompanied
by a subscription warrant and related instructions for exercising or selling
their rights.
Ernest S. Rady, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Westcorp, has informed
us that he will exercise his rights and that he expects to also exercise his
right to oversubscribe. Mr. Rady is the beneficial owner of approximately 66% of
our common stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Our primary sources of revenue are net interest income and noninterest income.
Net interest income is the difference between the income earned on interest
earning assets and the interest paid on interest bearing liabilities.
Noninterest income is primarily made up of revenues generated from the sale and
servicing of loans. The primary components of noninterest income include gain on
sale of automobile contracts and mortgage loans, retained interest income on
automobile contracts sold, contractually specified servicing fees for the
servicing of loans, late charges and other miscellaneous servicing fee income.
Other components of noninterest income include gains and losses from the sale of
investment and mortgage-backed securities, insurance income, fees related to the
sales of investment products such as mutual funds and annuities, and fee income
from depository accounts.
The following chart represents selected key events in the purchase and servicing
of automobile contracts and their respective financial statement impact:
EVENT FINANCIAL STATEMENT IMPACT
----- --------------------------
Purchase and fund contract from dealer - Pay principal amount of contract to
dealer and record contract
receivable
- Pay dealer participation to dealer
and record dealer participation as
part of contract receivable
- Establish allowance for credit
losses
- Fund purchase using line of credit
and operating cash flows
Sell contract to a securitization trust - Pay down borrowings with
securitization proceeds
- Remove contract receivable from
balance sheet
- Capitalize retained interest in
securitized asset ("RISA"), which
represents the present value of the
estimated future retained interest
earnings net of credit losses and
adjusted for prepayments
- Record gain on sale which is equal
to the RISA less dealer
participation, issuance costs and
the effect of hedging activities
- Reduce the allowance for credit
losses
Collect payment for on balance sheet contract
(whether or not pledged to a securitization trust) - Recognize net interest income
- Reduce line of credit
- Collect late charges and other fees
Collect payment for off balance sheet contract - Amortize the RISA asset (Actual cash
flows in excess of the amortization
of the RISA are shown in our income
statement as retained interest
income.)
- Reduce the outstanding amount of the
respective securitization
transaction by the amount of
principal received which is paid
through to the asset-backed
securities investor
- Receive contractual servicing fees,
late charges and other fees
Charge off on balance sheet contract - Reduce the allowance for credit
losses
Charge off off balance sheet contract - Reduce the actual cash flows
recognized from securitization
trusts thereby increasing the
amortization of the RISA

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is affected by the difference between the rate earned on our
interest earning assets and the rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities
(interest rate spread) and the relative amounts of our interest earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was $51.6 million compared with $27.5 million for the same period
a year earlier. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 compared to 1999 was due primarily to the increase in automobile
contracts held on balance sheet.
Interest rates for interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are summarized as follows:

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
We maintain an allowance for credit losses on the loans held on the balance
sheet to cover probable losses which can be reasonably estimated. The allowance
for credit losses is increased by charging the provision for credit losses and
decreased by actual losses on the loans held on balance sheet or as a result of
the reduction of loans held on the balance sheet through loan sales. The level
of allowance is based principally on the outstanding balance of loans held on
balance sheet and historical loss trends. When we sell automobile loans in a
securitization transaction which is accounted for as a sale, we reduce the
allowance for credit losses held on the balance sheet and factor estimated
future losses into our gain on sale calculation. We believe that the allowance
for credit losses is currently adequate to absorb probable losses in our owned
loan portfolio which we can reasonably estimate. For the three months ended
March 31, 2000, the provision for credit losses totaled $11.9 million compared
with $12.2 million for the same period a year earlier.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Automobile Lending
On a regular basis, we securitize automobile contracts and retain the servicing
rights. Such transactions are either treated as sales or financings for
accounting purposes. For transactions treated as sales, we record a gain equal
to the present value of the estimated future earnings from the portfolio of
contracts sold. Net interest earned on such contracts and fees earned for
servicing the contract portfolios are recognized over the life of the
securitization transactions as contractual servicing income, retained interest
income and other fee income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, we securitized $1.2 billion of
automobile receivables. Of the total $1.2 billion securitized, $660 million was
treated as a sale and $540 million was treated as a secured financing. For the
three months ended March 31, 1999, we securitized $1.0 billion, of which the
entire amount was treated as a sale. We recorded a gain on sale of contracts of
$7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared with $24.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
The components of automobile lending income were as follows:
FOR THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31,
--------------------
2000 1999
------- -------
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Gain on sale of automobile contracts $ 7,719 $24,623
Retained interest income 13,316 7,496
Contractual servicing income 11,682 11,226
Other fee income 13,763 9,245
------- -------
Total automobile lending income $46,480 $52,590
======= =======
The amount of gain on sale recorded in each period is dependent upon the amount
of contracts sold, the structure of the securitization, as well as other factors
including the gross interest rate spread on contracts sold, the amount of dealer
participation paid, changes in credit loss assumptions, and the effect of
hedging activities. Gross interest rate spread is affected by product mix,
general market conditions and overall market interest rates. The risks inherent
in interest rate fluctuations are reduced through hedging activities.
Retained interest income was $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000 compared with $7.5 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase
is primarily the result of lower amortization of the RISA due to lower credit
losses. Retained interest income is dependent upon the average excess spread on
the contracts sold, credit losses and the size of the sold portfolio.
16
17
According to the terms of each securitization transaction, contractual servicing
income is earned at rates ranging from 1.0% to 1.25% per annum on the
outstanding balance of contracts securitized. Other fee income consists
primarily of documentation fees, late charges and deferment fees and has
increased as a direct result of the increase in the number of contracts
originated and outstanding. Our average serviced portfolio increased to $5.5
billion for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $4.4 billion for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Pro-Forma Statements of Income
The following pro-forma statements of income present our results under the
assumption that all our securitization transactions are treated as financings
and none are treated as sales. We believe that such a presentation is an
important performance measure of our operations. If treated as financings, no
gain on sale or subsequent contractual servicing and retained interest income is
recognized. Instead, the earnings of the contracts in the trusts and the related
financing costs are reflected over the life of the underlying pool of loans. We
refer to these pro-forma results as "portfolio basis" statements of income since
the contracts would have remained in our on balance sheet contract portfolio if
we accounted for the transactions as financings. We monitor the periodic
portfolio basis earnings of our serviced contract portfolio and believe these
portfolio basis statements assist in better understanding our business.
The following tables presents the portfolio basis statements of income and a
reconciliation to net income as reflected in our consolidated statements of
income:

servicing rights and other income (primarily late charges). During the three
months ended March 31, 2000, mortgage banking income totaled $5.9 million
compared with $3.7 million for the same period in 1999. The increase in mortgage
banking income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 related to the sale of
mortgage loan servicing rights for our owned portfolio. Mortgage banking income
is not expected to be a material source of income in future periods.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, total noninterest expense was $56.9
million compared with $57.4 million for the same period a year earlier. The
decrease is primarily the result of improvements in operating efficiencies and
in the quality of the loan portfolio.
INCOME TAXES
We file federal and certain state tax returns on a consolidated basis. Other
state tax returns are filed for each subsidiary separately. Our effective tax
rate was 41.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared with an
effective tax rate of 42.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
OVERVIEW
Total assets increased $0.6 million or 14.4% to $5.1 billion at March 31, 2000
from $4.5 billion at December 31, 1999. This increase is the result of an
increase in mortgage-backed securities available for sale and in automobile
contracts held on the balance sheet.

$48.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Though we continue to
focus on expanding our commercial banking operation, it has not been a
significant source of revenue.
Mortgage Loan Portfolio
In the past, we originated mortgage products that we have held on our balance
sheet rather than selling such products into the secondary markets. Other than
mortgage loans originated through the commercial banking division on a limited

ASSET QUALITY
Overview
Nonperforming assets, repossessions, loan delinquency and credit losses are
considered by us as key measures of asset quality. Asset quality, in turn,
affects our determination of the allowance for credit losses. We also take into
consideration general economic conditions in the markets we serve, individual
loan reviews, and the level of assets relative to reserves in determining the
adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.
Automobile Loan Quality
We provide financing in a market where there is a risk of default by borrowers.
Chargeoffs directly impact our earnings and cash flows. To minimize the amount
of losses we incur, we monitor delinquent accounts, promptly repossess and
remarket vehicles and seek to collect on deficiency balances.
At March 31, 2000, the percentage of accounts delinquent 30 days or greater was
1.79% compared with 2.84% at December 31, 1999. Delinquency is calculated by us
based on the contractual due date. Net chargeoffs on average contracts
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was 2.01% compared with
2.70% for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Stricter underwriting
guidelines, the successful implementation of our multiple credit scoring models,
and a greater concentration of prime automobile contracts in our portfolio have
all contributed to better asset quality.

Nonperforming Assets
Total nonperforming assets ("NPAs") decreased $0.9 million to $12.6 at March 31,
2000 compared with $13.5 million at December 31, 1999. At March 31, 2000, NPAs
represented 0.2% of total assets compared with 0.3% at December 31, 1999.
NPAs consist of nonperforming loans ("NPLs") and real estate owned ("REO"). REO
is carried at lower of cost or fair value less estimated disposition costs. NPLs
are defined as all nonaccrual loans, which include mortgage loans 90 days or
more past due and impaired loans where full collection of principal and interest
is not reasonably assured. When a loan is designated as nonaccrual, all
previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed. Interest on nonperforming
loans excluded from interest income was $0.6 million at March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. We measure impairment based on, among
other factors, the fair value of the loan's collateral. Changes in the fair
value of loans are recorded through the allowance for credit losses. At March
31, 2000 impaired loans totaled $1.5 million compared to $3.9 million at
December 31, 1999.
The following table classifies NPLs into significant categories:
MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31,
2000 1999

Loans placed on nonaccrual $ 7,764 $ 7,362
Impaired loans 1,476 3,917
------- -------
$ 9,240 $11,279
======= =======
Single family loans accounted for 81.3% of total NPAs at March 31, 2000 while
multifamily loans accounted for 18.7%, although no single loan or series of such
loans predominate. The decrease in total NPAs is the result of improving asset
quality and stabilization of market values.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Our allowance for credit losses was $70.0 million at March 31, 2000 compared to
$64.2 million at December 31, 1999. The allowance for credit losses and related
provisions are determined by considering loan volumes, loan sales, prepayments,
loss trends, levels of NPLs, management's analysis of market conditions,
individual loan reviews, levels of assets to reserves and other relevant
factors. The allowance for credit losses is reduced by net chargeoffs and
increased by the provision for credit losses. For the three months ended March
31, 2000, the provision for credit losses was $11.9 million compared with $12.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Net chargeoffs for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were $6.2 million and $4.7 million,
respectively.
We believe that the allowance for credit losses is currently adequate to cover
probable losses in the portfolio that can be reasonably estimated. No single
loan, borrower or series of such loans comprises a significant portion of the
total portfolio. The provision and allowance for credit losses are indicative of
loan volumes, loss trends and management's analysis of market conditions.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Overview
We require substantial capital resources and cash to support our business. In
addition, as a member of the FHLB, the Bank is required to maintain a specified
ratio of cash, short-term United States government and other qualifying
securities to net withdrawable accounts and borrowings payable in a year or
less. The required liquidity ratio is currently 4%. The Bank has maintained
liquidity in excess of the required amount during 2000. Our ability to maintain
positive cash flows from automobile operations is the result of consistent
managed growth, favorable loss experience and efficient operations.
In addition to our indirect statement of cash flows as presented under generally
accepted accounting principles, we also analyze the key cash flows from our
automobile lending operations on a direct basis excluding certain items such as
the purchase or sale of contracts. The following table shows operating cash
flows for our automobile lending operations:

======= =======
Operating cash flows from automobile lending operations have improved for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared with the three months ended March 31,
1999 as a result of the improving credit quality of our portfolio as well as
improved operating efficiency and declining dealer participation rates on
automobile contracts.
PRINCIPAL SOURCES OF CASH
We employ various sources to fund our operations, including collections of
principal and interest from loans, deposits, securitizations, commercial paper,
advances from the FHLB, repurchase agreements, subordinated debentures and other
borrowings. The sources used vary depending on such factors as rates paid,
maturities, and the impact on capital.
Collections of Principal and Interest from Loans
Our primary source of funds is the collection of principal and interest from
loans originated. For automobile contracts, these monies are deposited into
collection accounts established in connection with each securitization
transaction or into our accounts for contracts not in a securitization. Pursuant
to reinvestment contracts entered into in connection with each securitization
transaction, the Bank or WFS Financial Auto Loans 2, Inc. ("WFAL2") receive
access to the amounts deposited into each collection account and the amounts
held in the spread accounts for each securitization transaction. The Bank and
WFAL2 then make those funds available to WFS, in the case of the Bank pursuant
to a reinvestment contract with the Bank and in the case of WFAL2 through its
purchase of contracts from WFS. WFS is then permitted to use those amounts so
received in its daily operations to fund the purchase of automobile contracts or
to cover the day to day costs of its operations. For real
28
29
estate loans and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), principal and interest are
deposited into our own accounts and such amounts are also used in our daily
operations. Total loan and MBS principal and interest collections totaled $0.8
billion for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared with $0.5 billion for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Deposits
We attract both short-term and long-term deposits from the general public,
commercial enterprises and institutions by offering a variety of accounts and
rates. We offer regular passbook accounts, demand deposit accounts, money market
accounts, certificate of deposit accounts and individual retirement accounts.
Our retail banking division gathers deposits from 25 retail branch locations
throughout California. Our commercial banking division gathers deposits by
establishing commercial relationships with businesses located throughout
southern California.
Contract Securitizations and Loan Sales
Since 1985, we have securitized $15.6 billion of automobile receivables in 47
public offerings making us the fourth largest issuer of such securities in the
nation. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, we securitized $1.2 billion,
as compared to $1.0 billion securitized for the three months March ended 31,
1999. We expect to continue to use securitization transactions as part of our
liquidity strategy when appropriate market conditions exist.
The primary source of funds used for real estate loans was the sale of such
products. Historically, we have been active in the secondary market. We have
sold FHA and VA loans, as well as other conforming and non- conforming loans to
FNMA, FHLMC, and other established conduits. However, during 1999, we completed
the sale of our sub-prime mortgage division and the sale of $1.0 billion in
mortgage servicing rights as part of our strategy to exit the mortgage banking
business.
Borrowings and Other Sources of Funds
Our other sources of funds include commercial paper, advances from the FHLB,
sales of securities under agreements to repurchase, other borrowings and cash
generated from operations. We select from among these funding alternatives based
on the timing and duration of our cash needs, as well as the costs, maturities
and other requirements of each funding source.
The FHLB system functions in a reserve capacity for savings institutions. As a
member, we are required to own capital stock in the FHLB and are authorized to
apply for advances from the FHLB on security of such stock and on certain
residential mortgage loans. The Bank has been pre-approved for advances up to
25% of its assets, based on remaining availability under credit facilities
established by the Bank with the FHLB, with 24 hours notice. Such borrowings may
be made pursuant to several different programs offered from time to time by the
FHLB. Additional funds are available subject to additional collateral and other
requirements. Each credit program has its own interest rate, which may be fixed
or variable, and range of maturities. The FHLB prescribes the acceptable uses to
which advances pursuant to each program may be put, as well as limitations on
the sizes of advances and repayment provisions.
Savings associations such as the Bank also have authority to borrow from the
Federal Reserve System ("FRS") "discount window". FRS regulations require these
institutions to exhaust all reasonable alternative sources of funds, including
FHLB sources, before borrowing from the FRS. Federal regulations have been
promulgated which connect Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") performance with
access to long-term advances from the FHLB to member institutions. The Bank
received a "satisfactory" rating in its most recent CRA evaluation.
29
30
Subordinated Capital Debentures
In 1993 and 1998, we, through the Bank, issued $125 million of 8.5% and $150
million of 8.875% Subordinated Capital Debentures due 2003 and 2007,
respectively, of which $193 million was outstanding at March 31, 2000. In
addition to providing additional liquidity, the Bank is permitted to include
these Debentures in supplementary capital for purposes of determining compliance
with risk-based capital requirements.
Conduit Financing
In September 1999, we established a $500 million conduit facility secured by
automobile contracts in a private placement. The amount outstanding on the
credit facility at December 31, 1999 was $461 million. The Notes were rated AAA
by S&P and Aaa by Moody's. Timely principal and interest payments on the Notes
were guaranteed by an insurance policy. Interest payments on the Notes were due
quarterly, in arrears, calculated at a commercial paper index rate plus 30 basis
points. The conduit facility was paid off on March 15, 2000.
PRINCIPAL USES OF CASH
Acquisition of Loans or Investment Securities
Our most significant use of cash is for the acquisition of loans, MBS or other
investment securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, total loan
originations were $1.0 billion compared with $0.9 billion for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. We purchased $554 million of MBS and other investment
securities during the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared with $641
million during the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Payments of Principal and Interest on Securitization Transactions
Under the terms of our reinvestment contract and the conduit financing
transactions, we are required to make quarterly payments of interest and
principal to noteholders and certificateholders. Payment of principal and
interest to noteholders and certificateholders was $1.1 billion for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared with $0.5 billion for the same period a
year earlier. The increase was primarily the result of the retirement of our
conduit facility.
Amounts Paid to Dealers
Consistent with industry practice, we generally pay an up-front dealer
participation to the original dealer for each automobile contract purchased.
Participation paid to dealers for the three months ended March 31, 2000 totaled
$22.9 million compared with $20.1 million for the same period a year earlier.
Advances to Spread Accounts
At the time a securitization transaction closes, we are required to advance
monies to initially fund the spread account. Additionally, these spread accounts
are required to increase beyond the initial spread account funding to
predetermined levels. These spread accounts increase through receipt of excess
cash flow until these predetermined levels are met. The amounts due from trust
represent funds due to us that have not yet been disbursed from the spread
account. The amounts due from trusts at March 31, 2000, including initial
advances not yet returned, was $475 million compared with $439 million at
December 31, 1999.
Advances Due to Servicer
As the servicer of automobile contracts sold in securitizations, we periodically
make advances to the securitization trusts to provide for temporary delays in
the receipt of required payments by borrowers in accordance with servicing
agreements. We receive reimbursement of these advances through payments from the
obligors on the automobile contracts or from the trustee at the time a contract
liquidates.
30
31
Operating Our Business
Our largest operating expenditure is salaries and benefits paid to our
associates. Other amounts include occupancy costs, costs associated with
collection and repossession, telephone and data processing costs. We also use
substantial amounts of cash in capital expenditures for automation and new
technologies to remain competitive and to become more efficient.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank. As such, it is subject to
certain minimum capital requirements imposed by FIRREA and FDICIA. FDICIA
separates all financial institutions into one of five capital categories: "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized." In order to be considered
"well capitalized," an institution must have a total risk-based capital ratio
of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 (i.e., core) risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or
greater, a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater and not be subject to any OTS
order. The Bank currently meets all of the requirements of a "well capitalized"
institution.
The following table summarizes our actual capital and required capital as of
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Included in our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations and elsewhere in this Form 10-K are several
"forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are those which use
words such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "may",
"will", "should","estimate", "continue" or other comparable expressions. These
words indicate future events and trends.
Forward-looking statements are our current views with respect to future events
and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to many
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ significantly
from historical results or from those anticipated by us. The most significant
risks and uncertainties we face are:
- - the level of chargeoffs, as an increase in the level of chargeoffs will
decrease our earnings;
- - the ability to originate new contracts in a sufficient amount to reach
our needs, as a decrease in the amount of contracts we originate will
decrease our earnings;
- - a decrease in the difference between the average interest rate we
receive on the contracts we originate and the rate of interest we must
pay to fund our cost of originating those contracts, as a decrease will
reduce our earnings;
- - the continued availability of sources of funding for our operations, as
a reduction in the availability of funding will reduce our ability to
originate contracts;
- - the level of operating costs, as an increase in those costs will reduce
our net earnings;
- - the effect of new laws, regulations and court decisions; and
- - a change in general economic conditions.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Fluctuations in interest rates and early prepayment of our loans and MBS are the
primary market risks facing our company. The Credit and Pricing Committee is
responsible for setting credit and pricing policies and for monitoring credit
quality. Our Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for the management of
interest rate and prepayment risks. Asset/liability management is the process of
measuring and controlling interest rate risk through matching the maturity and
repricing characteristics of interest earning assets with those of interest
bearing liabilities.
The Asset/Liability Committee closely monitors interest rate and prepayment
risks and recommends policies for managing such risks. The primary measurement
tool for evaluating this risk is the use of interest rate shock analysis. This
analysis simulates the effects of an instantaneous and sustained change in
interest rates (in increments of 100 basis points) on our assets and liabilities
and measures the resulting increase or decrease to the net portfolio value
("NPV") of our assets and liabilities. Another important measurement of our
interest rate risk is "GAP" analysis. GAP is defined as the difference between
the amount of interest sensitive assets that reprice versus the amount of
interest sensitive liabilities that also reprice within a defined period of
time. We have more interest sensitive liabilities rather than assets repricing
in shorter-term maturity buckets and more interest sensitive assets rather than
liabilities repricing in longer-term maturity buckets. In general, an increase
in interest rates would more adversely affect our NPV than would a decrease in
interest rates.

We utilize a variety of means in order to manage interest rate risk. For real
estate loans, we historically originated adjustable rate loans and held them on
the balance sheet. For fixed rate real estate loans, we would enter into MBS
forward agreements in order to limit the risk of change in interest rates
related to our pipeline and sold such loans in the secondary markets. For our
MBS portfolio, we hedge to limit our interest rate risk by utilizing interest
rate caps and swaps.

For automobile contracts, we hedge with two-year Treasury securities forward
agreements until such contracts are securitized. Generally, we enter into
forward agreements in amounts that correspond to the principal amount of the
automobile contracts originated. The market value of these forward agreements is
designed to respond inversely to the market value changes of the underlying
contracts. Because of this inverse relationship, we can effectively lock in a
gross interest rate spread at the time of entering into the hedge transaction.
We enter into these forward agreements either with highly rated counterparties,
which further reduces our risk by avoiding any material concentration with a
single counterparty. Credit exposure is limited to those agreements with a
positive fair value and only to the extent of that fair value. We currently
hedge substantially all of our automobile contracts pending securitization. We
then sell or transfer such contracts to securitization trusts that in turn sell
asset-backed securities to investors. By securitizing our contracts, we are able
to lock in the gross interest rate spread between the yield on such contracts
and the interest rate on the asset-backed securities. For transactions treated
as sales, gains and losses relative to these forward agreements are deferred and
recognized in full at the time of securitization as an adjustment to the gain or
loss on the sale of the contracts. For transactions treated as secured
financings, gains and losses relative to forward agreements are deferred until
the time of securitization and then amortized as an adjustment to interest
expense over the term of the notes issued.
The Asset/Liability Committee monitors our hedging activities to ensure that the
value of hedges, their correlation to the contracts being hedged and the amounts
being hedged continue to provide effective protection against interest rate
risk. The amount and timing of hedging transactions are determined by our senior
management based upon the monitoring activities of the Asset/Liability
Committee. As a result of this approach to interest rate risk management and our
hedging strategies, we do not anticipate that changes in interest rates will
materially affect our results of operations or liquidity, although we can
provide no assurance in this regard.
