NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE
A  Accounting Policies



The significant accounting
policies of Golden West Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (Golden West or Company) are more fully described in Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 11, 2005 (SEC File No. 1-4629).



Principles of Consolidation



The Companys consolidated financial statements, including World Savings Bank, FSB (WSB) and World Savings Bank, FSB (Texas) (WTX), for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for such three- and nine-month
periods have been included. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.



Stock-Based Compensation



The Company has stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for awards granted under the plans. Had compensation cost been determined using the fair value
based method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), the Companys net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:

New Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123R). This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This statement
requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during
which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. This statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25.



In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107 which provides public companies additional
guidance in applying the provisions of SFAS 123R. The SAB expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the interaction between SFAS 123R and certain existing SEC rules and regulations and provides the SEC staffs views regarding the valuation
of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. The SAB would be applied upon the adoption of SFAS 123R.



In April 2005, the SEC amended the date for compliance with SFAS 123R so that each entity that is not a small business issuer will be required to
prepare financial statements in accordance with SFAS 123R beginning with the first interim or annual reporting period of the registrants first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the requirements
of SFAS 123R and expects that the adoption of SFAS 123R will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.



In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154). This statement replaces APB Opinion
No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and revises the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS
154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes
specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the
period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This statement shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, but early adoption is permitted.

|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



OVERVIEW



Headquartered in
Oakland, California, Golden West Financial Corporation is one of the nations largest financial institutions with assets of $121.3 billion as of September 30, 2005. Our principal operating subsidiary is World Savings Bank, FSB (WSB).
WSBs largest subsidiary is World Savings Bank, FSB (Texas) (WTX). As of September 30, 2005, we operated 282 savings branches in ten states and had lending operations in 38 states under the World name.



We have assumed that readers have reviewed or have access to our 2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which contains the latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of December 31, 2004, and for
the year then ended. Copies of our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to such reports are available, free of charge, through the Securities and Exchange
Commission website at www.sec.gov and our website at www.gdw.com as soon as reasonably practicable after their filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.



Our Business Model



We are a residential mortgage portfolio lender. In order to increase net earnings under this business model, we focus principally on:



| |  |  | growing net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and dividends earned on loans and other investments and the interest paid on customer deposits and
borrowings;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | maintaining a healthy primary spread, which is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of deposits and borrowings;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expanding the adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) portfolio, which is our primary earning asset;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | managing interest rate risk, principally by originating and retaining monthly adjusting ARMs in portfolio, and matching these ARMs with liabilities that respond in a similar manner
to changes in interest rates;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | managing credit risk, principally by originating high-quality loans to minimize nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructured;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | maintaining a strong capital position to support growth and provide operating flexibility;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | controlling expenses; and
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | managing operations risk through strong internal controls.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



This discussion and analysis includes those material changes in liquidity and capital resources that have occurred since December 31, 2004, as
well as material changes in results of operations during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.



Quarter in Review



Results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 included the following:



| |  |  | diluted earnings per share amounted to $1.22 and $3.50, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005, up 16% and 15% from the $1.05 and $3.04 reported for the
comparable periods in 2004;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our loan portfolio increased to $117 billion, up 21% from $97 billion at September 30, 2004;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | net interest income grew 13% to $2.2 billion for the first nine months of 2005 due to loan portfolio growth partially offset by an average primary spread that decreased from
2.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to 2.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Loan Portfolio



Almost all of
our assets are monthly adjustable rate mortgages on residential properties. We originate and retain these loans in portfolio. As discussed below, we emphasize ARMs with interest rates that change monthly to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.
We sell most of the fixed-rate loans that we originate, as well as loans that customers convert from ARMs to fixed-rate loans.

##### Table of Contents

The volume of our originations increased 6.9% in the first nine months of 2005 versus the same period in
2004 primarily due to the continued popularity of ARMs and an increase in the average loan size. The volume of our originations decreased slightly in the third quarter of 2005 versus the same period in 2004 primarily because of competition from
fixed-rate loans which remained priced near historic lows.



Loan and MBS repayments, including amortization and loan payoffs, were higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 as compared to the comparable periods in 2004 as a result of the larger portfolio balance and because
fixed-rate interest rates remained low from a historical standpoint leading to continued high levels of both home purchases and refinance activity.



Equity Lines of Credit and Fixed-Rate Second Mortgages



Most of our loans are collateralized by first deeds of trust on one- to four-family homes. However, we also offer borrowers
equity lines of credit (ELOCs). These ELOCs are collateralized typically by second deeds of trust and occasionally by first deeds of trust. The ELOCs we originate are indexed either to the Certificate of Deposit Index (CODI) discussed in
Management of Interest Rate Risk - Asset/Liability Management or the Prime Rate as published in the Money Rates table in The Wall Street Journal (Central Edition). For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, $862 million of
ELOCs were originated (includes only amounts drawn at the time of establishment), of which $529 million were tied to CODI and $332 million were tied to the Prime Rate. We also originate a small volume of fixed-rate second mortgages secured
by second deeds of trust. Our practice is to originate second deeds of trust only on properties that have a first mortgage with us. The following table provides information about our activity in ELOCs and fixed-rate second mortgages for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

Net Deferred Loan Costs



Included in the balance of loans receivable are net deferred loan costs associated with originating loans. In accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), we defer loan origination fees and certain loan origination costs in accordance with SFAS 91. Over the past five years, the combined amounts have resulted in net
deferred costs. These net deferred loan costs are amortized over the contractual life of the related loans, thereby lowering loan interest income and net interest income and thereby reducing the reported yield on our loan portfolio, our primary
spread and our net interest margin. If a loan pays off before the end of its contractual life, any remaining net deferred cost is charged to loan interest income at that time. The vast majority of the amortization of net deferred loan costs shown in
Table 6 is accelerated amortization resulting from early payoffs of loans.

The growth in net
deferred loan costs from September 30, 2004 to September 30, 2005 resulted primarily from the growth in the loan portfolio. The increase in the amortization of net deferred loan costs resulted from higher loan repayments.



Lending Operations



At September 30, 2005, we had lending operations in 38 states. Our
largest source of mortgage origination volume continues to be loans secured by residential properties in California, which is the largest residential mortgage market in the United States. The following table shows originations for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 for Northern and Southern California and for our next five largest origination states by dollar amount in the third quarter and first nine months of 2005.

Securitization Activity



We often securitize our portfolio loans into
mortgage-backed securities. We do this because MBS are a more valuable form of collateral for our borrowings than whole loans. Because we have retained all of the beneficial interests in these MBS securitizations to date, the accounting rules
require that securitizations formed after March 31, 2001 be classified as securitized loans and included in our loans receivable. Securitization activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 amounted to $9.3 billion and
$17.4 billion, respectively, compared to $9.1 billion and $20.1 billion for the same periods in 2004. The volume of securitization activity fluctuates depending on the amount of collateral needed for borrowings and liquidity risk
management.



Loans securitized prior to April 1, 2001 are
classified as MBS with recourse held to maturity. MBS that are classified as held to maturity are those that we have the ability and intent to hold until maturity.



Structural Features of our ARMs



Most of the ARMs that we have originated since 1981 have the following structural features that are described in more detail
below:



| |  |  | an interest rate that changes monthly and is based on an index plus a fixed margin set at origination;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | payment options;
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | features that allow for deferred interest; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | lifetime interest rate caps, and in some cases interest rate floors, that limit the range of interest rates on the loans.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

In addition to the monthly adjusting ARMs described above, we originate and have in portfolio a small
volume of ARMs with initial interest rates and monthly payments that are fixed for periods of 12 to 36 months, after which the interest rate adjusts monthly and the monthly payment is reset annually. Additionally, we originate a small volume of ARMs
with interest only payments for the first five years and an interest rate that adjusts every six months subject to a periodic interest rate cap.



From time to time, as part of our efforts to retain loans and loan customers, we may waive or temporarily modify certain terms of a loan. Some borrowers
elect to modify their loans to fixed-rate loans for one, three, or five years. These modifications amounted to $881 million and $1.0 billion during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2005, respectively, as compared to
$120 million and $502 million during the comparable periods in 2004. We retain these modified loans in portfolio. Additionally, some borrowers choose to convert their ARM to a fixed-rate mortgage for the remainder of the term. During the
third quarter and first nine months of 2005, $196 million and $276 million, respectively, of loans were converted at the customers request from ARMs to fixed-rate loans, compared to $21 million and $109 million during the same
periods in 2004. We sell most of the converted fixed-rate loans.



Interest Rates and Indexes. Almost all the ARMs we originate have interest rates that change monthly based on an index plus a fixed margin that is set at the time we make the loan. The index value changes monthly and consequently the
loan rate changes monthly. For most of our lending, the indexes used are the Golden West Cost of Savings Index (COSI), the Certificate of Deposit Index (CODI), and the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index (COFI). Details about these indexes,
including the reporting and repricing lags associated with them, are discussed in Management of Interest Rate Risk - Asset/Liability Management. The ELOCs we originate are indexed either to the Prime Rate as published in the Money Rates
table in The Wall Street Journal (Central Edition) or to CODI.



As further described in Management of Interest Rate Risk - Asset/Liability Management, we have focused on originating ARMs with indexes that meet our customers needs and match well with our liabilities. The following table
shows the distribution of ARM originations by index for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

Payment Options.The
monthly statement for most of our loans provides our borrowers with up to four payment options. These payment options include a minimum payment, an interest-only payment, a payment that enables the loan to pay off over its original term, and a
payment that enables the loan to pay off 15 years from origination. In addition to these four specified payment options, borrowers may elect a payment of any amount above the minimum payment.



Substantially all of the ARMs we originate allow the borrowers to select an
initial minimum monthly payment for the first year of the loan. The amount of the initial minimum payment currently is lower than the amount of interest due on the loan resulting in deferred interest. After the first year, the minimum monthly
payment for substantially all our ARMs is reset annually. The new minimum monthly payment amount generally cannot exceed the prior years minimum monthly payment amount by more than 7.5%. Periodically, this 7.5% cap does not apply. For example,
for most of the loans this 7.5% cap does not apply on the tenth annual payment change of the loan and every fifth annual payment change thereafter. For a small number of loans, the 7.5% cap does not apply on the fifth annual payment change of the
loan and every fifth annual payment change thereafter. On each annual payment change date when the 7.5% cap does not apply, the new monthly payment amount will be set to an amount that would pay off the loan over its remaining term.



Although most of our loans have payments due on a monthly cycle, a
significant number of borrowers elect to make payments on a biweekly cycle. A biweekly payment cycle results in a shorter period required to pay off the loan.



Deferred Interest. Deferred interest refers to interest that is added to the outstanding loan principal balance when the payment a borrower
makes is less than the monthly interest due on the loan. Our loans have had this deferred interest feature for almost a quarter of a century. Borrowers may always make a high enough monthly payment to avoid deferred interest, and many borrowers do
so. Borrowers may also pay down the balance of deferred interest in whole or in part at any time without a prepayment fee.



Our loans provide that deferred interest may occur as long as the loan balance remains below either 125% or 110% of the original mortgage amount. The 125%
cap on the loan balance applies to loans with original loan to value ratios at or below 85%. The 110% cap applies to loans with original loan to value ratios above 85%. If the loan balance reaches the applicable limit, additional deferred interest
may not be allowed to occur

and we may increase the monthly payment to an amount that would amortize the loan over its remaining term. In this case, the new monthly payment amount could
increase beyond the 7.5% annual payment cap described above, and continue to increase each month thereafter, if the applicable loan balance cap is still being reached and the current monthly payment amount would not be enough to fully amortize the
loan by the scheduled maturity date.



The amount of deferred
interest included in the loan portfolio amounted to $279 million, $55 million, and $36 million at September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, respectively. Deferred interest as a percentage of the total
loan portfolio amounted to less than .25% of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004. Deferred interest increased from September 2004 to September 2005 primarily because
the indexes on our ARMs increased, the minimum payment on most new and many existing loans was less than the interest due, and many borrowers made monthly payments that were lower than the amount of interest due. The amount of deferred interest that
may occur in the loan portfolio is uncertain and is influenced by a number of factors outside our control, including changes in the underlying index, the volume of loans where the minimum payment is less than the interest due, the number of
borrowers who choose the minimum payment, and the amount of unscheduled principal payments. If the applicable index were to increase and remain at relatively high levels, the amount of deferred interest occurring in the loan portfolio would be
expected to trend higher, absent other mitigating factors such as increased prepayments or borrowers making monthly payments that meet or exceed the amount of interest then due on their mortgage loan. Similarly, if the index were to decline and
remain at relatively low levels, the amount of deferred interest occurring in the loan portfolio would be expected to trend lower.



Lifetime Caps and Floors. During the life of a typical ARM loan, the interest rate may not be raised above a lifetime cap which is set at the time
of origination or assumption. Virtually all of our ARMs are subject to a lifetime cap. The weighted average maximum lifetime cap rate on our ARM loan portfolio (including MBS before any reduction for loan servicing and guarantee fees) was 12.15% or
6.03% above the actual weighted average rate at September 30, 2005, versus 12.16% or 7.16% above the actual weighted average rate at December 31, 2004, and 12.19% or 7.37% above the weighted average rate at September 30, 2004.



During the life of some ARM loans, the interest rate may not
be decreased to a rate below a lifetime floor which is set at the time of origination or assumption. A portion of our ARMs are subject to lifetime floors. At September 30, 2005, approximately $4.6 billion of our ARM loans (including MBS
with recourse held to maturity) have terms that state that the interest rate may not fall below a lifetime floor set at the time of origination or assumption. As of September 30, 2005, $637 million of ARM loans had reached their rate
floors, compared to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2004, and $1.9 billion at September 30, 2004. The weighted average floor rate on the loans that had reached their floor was 5.73% at September 30, 2005 compared to 5.36% at
December 31, 2004 and 5.31% at September 30, 2004. Without the floor, the average rate on these loans would have been 5.25% at September 30, 2005, 4.44% at December 31, 2004, and 4.29% at September 30, 2004.

Securities Available for Sale



Funds not immediately needed for operations are invested in short-term instruments, including federal funds, short-term repurchase agreements collateralized by MBS, Eurodollar time deposits, and commercial paper. Our practice is to invest
only with counterparties that have high credit ratings. The balance of short-term securities available for sale may fluctuate due to our management of the Companys liquidity needs. In addition to short-term investments, we hold stock in
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). We obtained the Freddie Mac stock in 1984 and it has a cost basis of $6 million. The following table is a summary of information about investment securities, which the Company classifies as

of the Freddie Mac stock at September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004 was $6 million. The weighted average yields excluding equity securities on the securities available for sale portfolio were
3.93%, 2.08%, and 1.90% at September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, respectively. At September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, we had no securities
held for trading.



Other Assets



Capitalized
Mortgage Servicing Rights



The Company recognizes as
assets the rights to service loans for others. When we retain the servicing rights upon the sale of loans, the allocated cost of these rights is capitalized as an asset and then amortized over the expected life of the loan. The amount capitalized is
based on the relative fair values of the servicing rights and the loans on the sale date. We do not have a large portfolio of mortgage servicing rights, primarily because we retain our ARM originations in portfolio and only sell a limited number of
fixed-rate loans to third parties.

The estimated
amortization of the September 30, 2005 balance for the remainder of 2005 and the five years ending 2010 is $7.3 million (2005), $21.1 million (2006), $10.8 million (2007), $3.6 million (2008),
$225 thousand (2009), and $2 thousand (2010). Actual results may vary depending upon the level of the payoffs of the loans currently serviced.



The estimated fair value of CMSRs is regularly reviewed and can change up or down depending on market conditions. We stratify the serviced loans by year
of origination or modification, term to maturity, and loan type. If the estimated fair value of a loan strata is less than its book value, we establish a valuation allowance for the estimated temporary impairment through a charge to noninterest
income. We also recognize any other-than-temporary impairment as a direct write-down.



The estimated fair value of CMSRs as of September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004 was $51 million, $62 million, and $67 million, respectively. The book value of
the Companys CMSRs for certain of the Companys loan strata exceeded the fair value by $2 million at September 30, 2005, by $7 million at December 31, 2004, and by $4 million at
September 30, 2004. As a result, we had an impairment valuation allowance of $2 million, $7 million, and $4 million at September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, respectively.



Deposits



We raise deposits
through our retail branch system, through the Internet, and, from time to time, through the money markets. Retail deposits decreased during the third quarter of 2005 by $797 million compared to an increase of $3.1 billion in the third quarter
of 2004. The decrease in deposits during the third quarter of 2005 occurred because we did not aggressively pursue new deposits. Retail deposits increased during the first nine months of 2005 by $5.5 billion compared to an increase of
$4.9 billion in the first nine months of 2004. Retail deposits increased in the first nine months of 2005 primarily due to promoted products, particularly those promoted in the first six months of the year. At September 30, 2005 and
2004, transaction accounts represented 33% and 77%, respectively, of the total balance of deposits. These transaction accounts included checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, and passbook accounts.

At September 30, the weighted average cost of deposits was 2.97%
(2005) and 1.97% (2004).



Borrowings



In addition to
funding real estate loans with deposits, we also utilize borrowings. Most of our borrowings are variable interest rate instruments and are tied to LIBOR. In the first nine months of 2005, borrowings increased by $7.6 billion to $53.2 billion from
$45.7 billion at yearend 2004 in order to fund the loan growth described earlier.



Advances from Federal Home Loan Banks



An important type of borrowing we use comes from the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs). These borrowings are known as advances. WSB is a member of the FHLB of San Francisco, and WTX is a member of the FHLB
of Dallas. Advances are secured by pledges of certain loans, MBS, and FHLB capital stock that we own. FHLB advances amounted to $38.9 billion at September 30, 2005, compared to $33.8 billion at December 31, 2004 and
$32.0 billion at September 30, 2004.

Other Borrowings



In addition to borrowing from the FHLBs, we borrow from other sources to maintain flexibility in managing the availability
and cost of funds for the Company.



We borrow funds from the
capital markets on both an unsecured and secured basis. Most of WSBs capital market funding consists of unsecured bank notes. WSB has a bank note program that allows us to issue an aggregate amount of $8.0 billion of unsecured senior notes
with maturities ranging from 270 days to thirty years. In March 2005, WSB issued $700 million in notes under this program and in June 2005, WSB issued an additional $750 million in notes under this program. In October 2005, we issued
$1.5 billion in notes under this program and as of October 31, 2005, $3.8 billion remains available for issuance under this program. Bank notes with maturities of 270 days or longer are reported as senior debt on the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Condition. At September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, WSB had $5.7 billion, $4.3 billion, and $3.0 billion of long-term unsecured senior debt outstanding. As of
September 30, 2005, WSBs unsecured senior debt ratings were Aa3 and AA- from Moodys and S&P, respectively.



WSB also has a short-term bank note program that allows up to $5.0 billion of short-term notes with maturities of less than 270 days to be
outstanding at any point in time. At September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, WSB had $2.5 billion, $2.7 billion, and $869 million, respectively, of short-term bank notes outstanding. As of
September 30, 2005, WSBs short-term bank notes were rated P-1 and A-1+ by Moodys and S&P, respectively.



We also borrow funds through transactions in which securities are sold under agreements to repurchase. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are
entered into with selected major government securities dealers and large banks, using MBS from our portfolio as collateral, and amounted to $5.2 billion, $3.9 billion, and $3.7 billion at September 30, 2005, December 31,
2004, and September 30, 2004, respectively.



Golden West,
at the holding company level, occasionally issues senior and subordinated unsecured debt, although none was issued in 2004 or the first nine months of 2005. Golden West currently has no shelf registration on file with the SEC but plans to do so once
the SECs new rules for well-known seasoned issuers come into effect on December 1, 2005. At September 30, 2005, Golden West, at the holding company level, had $994 million of senior debt outstanding
compared to $993 million and $992 million at December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004, respectively. Golden West had no subordinated debt outstanding during those time periods. As of September 30, 2005, Golden
Wests senior debt was rated A1 and A+ by Moodys and S&P, respectively, and its subordinated debt was rated A2 and A by Moodys and S&P, respectively.



MANAGEMENT OF RISK



Our business
strategy is to achieve sustainable earnings growth utilizing a low-risk business approach. We continue to execute and refine our business model to manage the key risks associated with being a residential mortgage portfolio lender, namely interest
rate risk and credit risk. We also manage other risks, such as operational, regulatory, and management risk.



Management of Interest Rate Risk



Overview



Interest rate risk generally
refers to the risk that changes in market interest rates could adversely affect a companys financial condition. We strive to manage interest rate risk through the operation of our business, rather than relying on capital market techniques such
as derivatives. Our strategy for managing interest rate risk includes:



| |  |  | focusing on originating and retaining monthly adjusting ARMs in our portfolio;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



28



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | funding these ARM assets with liabilities that respond in a similar manner to changes in market rates; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | selling most of the limited number of fixed-rate loans that we originate, as well as fixed-rate loans that customers convert from ARMs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



As discussed further below, these strategies help us to maintain a close
relationship between the yield on our assets and the cost of our liabilities throughout the interest rate cycle and thereby limit the sensitivity of net interest income and our primary spread to changes in market rates.



Asset/Liability Management



Our principal strategy to manage interest rate risk is to originate and keep
in portfolio ARMs that provide interest rate sensitivity to the asset side of the balance sheet. The interest rates on most of our ARMs adjust monthly. At September 30, 2005, ARMs constituted 99% of our loan and MBS portfolio, and 97% of
our ARM portfolio adjusted monthly.



The primary difference
between how our ARMs and liabilities respond to interest rate changes is principally timing related. Specifically, rates on our liabilities tend to adjust more rapidly to interest rate changes than the yield on our ARM portfolio, primarily because
of built-in reporting and repricing lags that are inherent in the indexes. Reporting lags occur because of the time it takes to gather the data needed to compute the indexes. Repricing lags occur because it may take a period of time before changes
in market interest rates are significantly reflected in the indexes. In addition to the index lags, other structural features of the ARMs, described under The Loan Portfolio - Structural Features of our ARMs, can delay the repricing of
our assets.



This timing disparity between our assets and
liabilities can temporarily affect our primary spread until the indexes are able to reflect, or catch up with, the changes in market rates. Over a full interest rate cycle, the timing lags will tend to offset one another. The following
chart summarizes the different relationships the indexes and short-term market interest rates could have at any point in time and the expected impact on our primary spread.

|Market interest rates increase        |  | The index increase lags the market interest rate increase, and therefore the primary spread would normally be expected to narrow temporarily until the index catches up with the higher market
interest rates.
|                                      | 
|Market interest rates decline         |  | The index decrease lags the market interest rate decrease, and therefore the primary spread would normally be expected to widen temporarily until the index catches up with the lower market
interest rates.  
|                                      | 
|Market interest rates remain constant |  | The primary spread would normally be expected to stabilize when the index catches up to the current market rate level.                                                                                        



As the table above
indicates, although market rate changes impact the primary spread, the impact is principally a timing issue until the market rates are reflected in the applicable index. Also, a gradual change in rates would tend to have less of an impact on the
primary spread than a sharp rise or decline in rates.

##### Table of Contents

To mitigate the lags discussed above, our ARM index strategy strives to match portions of our ARM
portfolio with liabilities that have similar repricing characteristics, by which we mean the frequency of rate changes and the responsiveness of rate changes to fluctuations in market interest rates. The following table describes the indexes we use
and shows how these indexes are intended to match with our liabilities. As discussed in the table, ARMs funded with savings historically have had similar repricing lags. The repricing lags of LIBOR-based ARMs and LIBOR-based market-rate borrowings
have historically been somewhat different but these differences have been principally timing related. In particular, most of the Companys interest rate sensitivity has come from CODI loans funded with borrowings.

|How the Index Matches the Companys Liabilities       |  | Historically, the three-month CD yield on which CODI is based has closely tracked LIBOR. Most of our borrowings from the FHLBs and the capital markets are based on LIBOR. The 12-month rolling
aspect of CODI creates a timing lag.                                                                                                        |  | COSI equals our own cost of deposits. COSI and the cost of our deposits are therefore matched subject only to the reporting lag described below.                           |  | Historically, COFI has tracked our cost of deposits. The match is not perfect since COFI includes the cost of savings and borrowings of many other institutions as well as our
own.

offset by a similar repricing lag on our deposits.

deposits.

As discussed above, market interest rate movements are the most significant factor that affects our
primary spread. The primary spread is also influenced by:



| |  |  | the shape of the yield curve (the difference between short-term and long-term interest rates) and competition in the home lending market, both of which influence the pricing of our
adjustable and fixed-rate mortgage products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our efforts to attract deposits and competition in the retail investment market, which influence the pricing of our deposit products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the prices that we pay for our borrowings; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | loan prepayment rates.

The table below shows the primary spread, and its main components, at September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and

During 2004, the
Federal Reserves Open Market Committee raised the Federal Funds rate, a key short-term interest rate, five times, bringing the rate up to 2.25% at December 31, 2004 as compared to 1.00% at December 31, 2003. During the first nine
months of 2005, the Federal Reserves Open Market Committee raised the Federal Funds rate six times, bringing the rate up to 3.75% at September 30, 2005. As a consequence, our cost of funds, which is related primarily to the level of
short-term market interest rates, also increased. At the same time, the yield on our earning assets responded more slowly due to the ARM index lags described above.



The following table shows the average primary spread by quarter.

For the five years
ended September 30, 2005, which included periods of both falling and rising interest rates, our primary spread averaged 2.73%.



Financial institutions often provide a table with information about the repricing gap, which is the difference between the repricing of assets
and liabilities. The following gap table shows the volume of assets and liabilities that reprice within certain time periods as of September 30, 2005, as well as the repricing gap and the cumulative repricing gap as a percentage of assets.

If all
repricing assets and liabilities responded equally to changes in the interest rate environment, then the gap analysis would suggest that our earnings would rise when interest rates increase and would fall when interest rates decrease. However, as
discussed above, the Companys experience has been that the timing lags in our indexes tend to cause the yield on our assets to respond more slowly than the rates on our liabilities.



Interest Rate Swaps



We manage interest rate risk principally through the operation of our business. On occasion, however, we do enter into derivative contracts,
particularly interest rate swaps. As of September 30, 2005, we had three interest rate swaps that were used to effectively convert payments on WSBs fixed-rate senior debt to floating-rate payments. These interest rate swaps were
designated as fair value hedges and qualified for what is called the shortcut method of hedge accounting. Because the swaps qualify for the shortcut method, an ongoing assessment of hedge effectiveness is not required, and the change in fair value
of the hedged item is deemed to be equal to

the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these swaps had no impact on the Consolidated Statement of
Net Earnings. At September 30, 2005, we do not hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.



The following table illustrates as of September 30, 2005, the maturities and weighted average rates for the interest rate swaps and the hedged
fixed-rate senior debt.

The net effect of
these transactions was that the Company effectively converted fixed-rate senior debt to floating-rate senior debt with a weighted average interest rate of 4.00% at September 30, 2005. The range of floating interest rates paid on swap
contracts in the first nine months of 2005 was 2.51% to 3.92%. The range of fixed interest rates received on swap contracts in the first nine months of 2005 was 4.09% to 4.39%.



Management of Credit Risk



Credit
risk refers to the risk of loss if a borrower fails to perform under a mortgage loan and the value of the underlying collateral is not sufficient to cover the loan amount. We manage credit risk principally by originating high-quality loans. We also
mitigate credit risk through periodic loan reviews. Additionally, we closely monitor market trends, and take appropriate steps to protect our interests.



Our objective is to minimize nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructured and thereby maintain high profitability. Our business strategy does not
involve assuming additional credit risk in the portfolio in order to be able to charge higher prices to consumers.



Underwriting and Appraisal Process



As part of our underwriting process, we evaluate the creditworthiness of potential borrowers based primarily on credit history and an evaluation of the
potential borrowers ability to repay the loan. We use systems developed internally based on years of experience evaluating credit risk. Although we use technological tools to help with underwriting evaluations, our underwriting personnel
review each file and make final judgments. When evaluating a borrowers ability to pay, we assess the ability to make fully amortizing monthly payments, even if the borrower has the option to make a lower initial monthly payment.



Our appraisal process is separate from our underwriting process to assure
independence and accountability. We appraise the property that secures the loan by assessing its market value and marketability. We maintain an in-house staff to conduct and review property appraisals. Any external appraisers that we use are
required to go through a training program with us, and each appraisal is reviewed by our internal appraisal staff.

##### Table of Contents

The underwriting and appraisal process that we use for loans originated for sale may differ from that
described above due to the purchasers specific standards and system requirements.



California Housing Market



Although we originate a high volume of loans in California, we do virtually no lending in the more volatile high-priced end of the California real estate market. We have adopted this strategy in an effort to minimize
our credit risk exposure to potential adverse conditions in California. The average loan size for our California one- to four-family first mortgage originations in the first nine months of 2005 was approximately $333 thousand.



Loan to Value Ratio



The loan to value ratio, or LTV, is the loan balance of a first mortgage
expressed as a percentage of the appraised value of the property at the time of origination. A combined loan to value, or CLTV, refers to the sum of the first and second mortgage loan balances as a percentage of total appraised value at the time of
origination. When we discuss LTVs below, we are referring to cases when our borrower obtained only a first mortgage from us at origination. When we discuss CLTVs below, we are referring to cases when our borrower obtained both a first mortgage and a
second mortgage from us. The second mortgage may be either a fixed-rate loan or an ELOC.



Historically, foreclosed loans with LTVs or CLTVs greater than 80% at origination have resulted in greater credit losses as compared to loans originated with LTVs or CLTVs at 80% or lower. We therefore focus our
lending activity on loans that have LTVs or CLTVs at or below 80%. In addition, we take steps to reduce the potential credit risk with respect to loans with LTVs or CLTVs over 80%. Among other things:



| |  |  | a significant percentage of first mortgage loans in our portfolio that began with LTVs over 80% carry mortgage insurance, which reimburses us for losses up to a specified percentage
per loan, thereby reducing the effective LTV to below 80%;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the LTV or CLTV may not exceed 95% of the appraised value of a single-family residence at the time of origination; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we carry pool mortgage insurance on most ELOCs and most fixed-rate seconds held for investment when the CLTV exceeds 80% at origination; for ELOCs the cumulative losses covered by
this pool mortgage insurance are limited to 10% or 20% of the aggregate of the highest balance of each loan originally in the pool; for fixed-rate seconds the cumulative losses covered by this pool mortgage insurance are limited to 10% or 20% of the
original balance of each insured pool.

At September 30,
2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, the aggregate average of LTVs and CLTVs on the loans in portfolio was 68%, 69%, and 69%, respectively. When making these calculations, we generally do not take into account changes in
property values since the time of origination.



We believe that
by emphasizing LTVs below 80%, and insuring most loans with LTVs or CLTVs above 80%, we have helped to mitigate our exposure to a disruption in the real estate market that could cause property values to decline. Nonetheless, it is reasonable to
expect that a significant decline in the values of residential real estate could result in increased rates of delinquencies, foreclosures, and losses.



Asset Quality



An important measure of the soundness of our loan and MBS portfolio is the ratio of nonperforming assets (NPAs) and troubled debt restructured (TDRs) to
total assets. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans (that is, loans, including loans securitized into MBS with recourse, that are 90 days or more past due) and real estate acquired through foreclosure. No interest is recognized on
nonaccrual loans. TDRs are made up of loans on which delinquent payments have been capitalized or on which temporary interest rate reductions have been made, primarily to customers impacted by adverse economic conditions.



Our credit risk management practices have enabled us to have low NPAs and
TDRs throughout our history. However, even by our standards, NPAs and TDRs have been unusually low in recent years. Although we believe that our lending practices have historically been the primary contributor to our low NPAs and TDRs, the sustained
period of low interest rates and rapid home price appreciation during the past several years contributed to the low level of NPAs and TDRs. It is unlikely that such historically low levels of NPAs and TDRs will continue indefinitely.

The lower balance of total NPAs at
September 30, 2005 as compared to September 30, 2004 reflected the impact of the continued strong housing market and prevailing economic conditions. We attribute the relatively high level of NPAs in Texas to economic difficulties in the
state over the past several years. Although economic conditions may be improving in Texas, some weakness remains in the residential lending market. We closely monitor all delinquencies and take appropriate steps to protect our interests. Interest
foregone on nonaccrual loans (loans 90 days or more past due) amounted to an expense of $1.3 million and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to a recovery of $560 thousand and
$1.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004.



Allowance for Loan Losses



We provide
specific valuation allowances for losses on loans when impaired and a write-down on foreclosed real estate when any significant and permanent decline in value is identified. We also utilize a methodology for monitoring and estimating probable loan
losses that is based on both our historical loss experience in the loan portfolio and factors reflecting current economic conditions. This approach uses a database that identifies losses on loans and foreclosed real estate from past years to the
present, broken down by the age of the loan. This approach also takes into consideration current trends in economic growth, unemployment, housing market activity, and home prices for the nation and individual geographical regions. Based on the
analysis of historical performance, current conditions, and other risks, management estimates a range of loss allowances by type of loan and risk category to cover probable losses in the portfolio. One-to-four single-family real estate loans are
evaluated as a group. In addition, periodic reviews are made of major multi-family and commercial real estate loans and foreclosed real estate. Where indicated, valuation allowances are established or adjusted. In estimating probable losses,
consideration is given to the estimated sales price, cost of refurbishing the security property, payment of delinquent taxes, cost of disposal, and cost of holding the property. Additions to and reductions from the allowances are reflected in
current earnings based upon quarterly reviews of the portfolio and the methodology and historical analyses are reviewed quarterly.

The provision for loan
losses continued to reflect the low level of nonperforming assets and net chargeoffs that we experienced as a result of the strong nationwide housing market and the prevailing economic conditions.



Management of Other Risks



We
manage other risks that are common to companies in other industries, including operational, regulatory, and management risk.



Operational Risk



Operational risk refers to the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed processes or systems, human factors, or external events. These events
could result in financial losses and other negative consequences, including reputational harm.



We mitigate operational risk in a variety of ways, including the following:



| |  |  | we promote a corporate culture focused on high ethical conduct, superior customer service, and continual process and productivity improvements;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we focus our efforts on a single line of business;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our management and Board of Directors generally have long tenures with the Company, giving us the benefit of experience and institutional memory in managing through business cycles
and addressing other strategic issues;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our business managers have the responsibility for adopting and monitoring appropriate controls for their business units, both under long-standing banking regulations and
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | we have maintained an Internal Audit Department for decades that regularly audits our business, including operational controls and information security; the Internal Audit
Department reports directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, all of the members of which are independent directors under the New York Stock Exchanges corporate governance standards;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we maintain strong relationships and open dialogue with our regulators, who regularly conduct evaluations of our operations and controls;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our management has regular discussions with rating agencies that routinely evaluate our creditworthiness;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our business managers and other employees, as well as internal and external legal counsel and auditors, understand they are expected to communicate any material issues not otherwise
properly addressed promptly to senior management and, if appropriate, the Board of Directors or a committee thereof;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we monitor the strength and reputations of our counterparties;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we perform as many of the business functions and operations internally as economically feasible to retain control of our operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we have and enforce codes of conduct and ethics for employees, officers, and directors; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we have insurance and contingency plans in place in case of enterprise-wide business interruption.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Although these actions cannot fully protect us from all operational risks, we believe that they do help protect us from many
adverse events and also reduce the severity of issues that might arise.



Regulatory Risk



By regulatory risk, we
mean the risk that laws or regulations could change in a manner that adversely affects our business. This is a risk that is largely outside our control, although we participate in and monitor legal, regulatory, and judicial developments that could
impact our business. Among the issues that have received attention recently include:



| |  |  | laws and regulations that impact lending, deposit, and mutual fund activities;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | rules that affect the amount of regulatory capital that banks and other types of financial institutions are required to maintain;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes to the regulation of the housing government sponsored enterprises, including the Federal Home Loan Banks; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | federal and state privacy laws and regulations that impact how customer information can be used.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We continue to work with policymakers, trade groups, and others to try to ensure that any legal or regulatory developments
reflect sound public policy and do not uniquely and adversely affect us.



Management Risk



Management risk is mitigated by having well-trained and experienced employees in key positions who can assume management roles in both the immediate and longer-term future. In addition, senior management meets at least twice a year with the
Board of Directors in executive sessions to discuss recommendations and evaluations of potential successors to key members of management, along with a review of any development plans that are recommended for such individuals.

Net Interest Income



The largest
component of our revenue and earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and dividends earned on loans and other investments and the interest paid on customer deposits and borrowings. Long-term growth of our net
interest income, and hence earnings, is related to the ability to expand the mortgage portfolio, our primary earning asset, by originating and retaining high-quality adjustable rate mortgages. In the short term, however, net interest income can be
influenced by business conditions, especially movements in short-term interest rates.



The 13% increase in net interest income in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the prior year resulted primarily from the growth in the loan portfolio, our principal earning asset. Between
September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, our earning asset balance increased by $21 billion or 21%. This growth resulted from strong mortgage originations which more than offset loan repayments and loan sales. Partially
offsetting the benefit to net interest income of a larger average earning asset balance in the first nine months of 2005 was a decrease in our average primary spread, which is the monthly average of the monthend difference between the yield on loans
and other investments and the rate paid on deposits and borrowings. The primary spread is discussed under Management of Interest Rate Risk - Asset/Liability Management.

##### Table of Contents

Noninterest Income



The increase
in noninterest income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 as compared to the same periods in 2004 resulted primarily from an increase in prepayment fees principally due to higher loan prepayments. Prepayment fees amounted to
$89 million and $210 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $44 million and $115 million for the comparable periods in 2004.



General and Administrative Expenses



G&A expenses increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 to support the record loan volume and the continued investment in resources to support future growth.



G&A as a percentage of average assets (the G&A ratio) on
an annualized basis was .80% and .81% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 compared to .87% and .91% for the same periods in 2004. The G&A ratio was lower in the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 as compared to the same
periods in 2004 because the Companys strong asset growth over the past 12 months more than offset the increase in G&A expense. G&A as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest income (the efficiency ratio)
amounted to 27.06% and 28.05% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 compared to 28.57% and 28.86% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004.



Taxes on Income



We utilize the
accrual method of accounting for income tax purposes. Taxes as a percentage of earnings were 40.0% and 39.1% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 compared to 38.3% and 38.1% for the comparable periods in 2004. From quarter to quarter,
the effective tax rate may fluctuate due to various state tax matters, particularly changes in the volume of business activity in the various states in which we operate.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT



Liquidity
Management



The objective of our liquidity management is
to ensure we have sufficient liquid resources to meet all our obligations in a timely and cost-effective manner under both normal operational conditions and periods of market stress. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis so that we have
sufficient funds available to meet operating requirements, including supporting our lending and deposit activities and replacing maturing obligations. We also review our liquidity profile on a regular basis to ensure that the capital needs of Golden
West and its bank subsidiaries are met and that we can maintain strong credit ratings.



The creation and maintenance of collateral is an important component of our liquidity management. Loans, securitized loans, and to a much smaller extent purchased MBS are available to be used as collateral for
borrowings. Our objective is to maintain a sufficient supply and variety of collateral so that we have the flexibility to access different secured borrowings at any time. We regularly test ourselves against various scenarios to confirm that we would
have more than sufficient collateral to meet borrowing needs under both current and adverse market conditions.



The principal sources of funds for Golden West at the holding company level are dividends from subsidiaries, interest on investments, and the
proceeds from the issuance of debt securities. Various statutory and regulatory restrictions and tax considerations limit the amount of dividends WSB can distribute to Golden West. The principal uses of funds at Golden West are for the payment of
interest and principal on debt securities, capital contributions to its insured bank subsidiary, dividends to stockholders, the purchase of Golden West stock, and general and administrative expenses. At September 30, 2005,
December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, Golden Wests total cash and investments amounted to $1.0 billion, $817 million, and $841 million, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

WSBs principal sources of funds are cash flows generated from loan repayments; deposits; borrowings
from the FHLB of San Francisco; borrowings from its WTX subsidiary; bank notes; debt collateralized by mortgages, MBS, or securities; sales of loans; earnings; and borrowings from Golden West. In addition, WSB has other alternatives available to
provide liquidity or finance operations including wholesale certificates of deposit, federal funds purchased, and additional borrowings from private and public offerings of debt. Furthermore, under certain conditions, WSB may borrow from the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to meet short-term cash needs. As of September 30, 2005, WSB maintained approximately $8.0 billion of collateral with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to expedite its ability to
borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank if necessary.



Capital Management



Strong capital levels are important for the safe and
sound operation of a financial institution. One of our key operating objectives is to maintain a strong capital position to support growth of our loan portfolio and provide substantial operating flexibility. Also, capital invested in earning assets
enhances profit. Maintaining strong capital reserves also allows our bank subsidiaries to meet and exceed regulatory capital requirements and contributes to favorable credit ratings. As of September 30, 2005, WSB, our primary subsidiary, had
long-term unsecured credit ratings of Aa3 and AA-, respectively, from Moodys Investors Service and Standard & Poors, the nations two leading credit evaluation agencies.



Stockholders Equity



Our stockholders equity amounted to $8.3 billion, $7.3 billion,
and $6.9 billion at September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, respectively. All of our stockholders equity is tangible common equity. Stockholders equity increased by $996 million
during the first nine months of 2005 as a result of net earnings partially offset by decreased market values of securities available for sale, by the payment of quarterly dividends to stockholders and by the $25 million cost of the repurchase
of Golden West stock. Stockholders equity increased by $944 million during the first nine months of 2004 as a result of net earnings and the increased market values of securities available for sale partially offset by the payment of
quarterly dividends to stockholders. Our stockholders equity to total asset ratio was 6.82%, 6.81%, and 6.87% at September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, respectively.



Uses of Capital



As in prior years, we retained most of our earnings in the first nine months
of 2005. The 18% annualized growth in our net worth for the first nine months of 2005 allowed us to support the substantial growth in our loan portfolio. Expanding the balance of our loans receivable is the first priority for use of our capital,
because these earning assets generate the net interest income that is our largest source of revenue.

|(a) | In September 2001, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
31,733,708 shares. Unless modified or revoked by the Board of Directors, the 2001 authorization does not expire. The 2001 authorization is the only active authorization because all prior authorizations have expired, including four authorizations
made between 1993 and 1999 under which all 89,463,906 authorized shares were repurchased.

We repurchased an additional 560,000 shares in October 2005 at a weighted-average price per share of $58.44. WSB earnings are expected to continue to
be the major source of funding for the stock purchase program. The purchase of Golden West stock is not intended to have a material impact on the normal liquidity of the Company.



Regulatory Capital



Our bank subsidiaries, WSB and WTX, are subject to capital requirements described in detail in Note A to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Form 10-K. As of September 30, 2005, the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision categorized WSB and WTX as well-capitalized, the highest capital tier established by the OTS and other bank
regulatory agencies. There are no conditions or events that have occurred since that notification that we believe would have an impact on the well-capitalized categorization of WSB or WTX. These high capital levels qualify our bank
subsidiaries for the minimum federal deposit insurance rates and enable our subsidiaries to minimize time-consuming and expensive regulatory burdens.

##### Table of Contents

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS



Like other mortgage lenders and in the ordinary course of our business, we engage in financial transactions that are not recorded on the balance sheet. We also enter into certain contractual obligations. For
additional information on off-balance sheet arrangements and other contractual obligations, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations in the Companys 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.



CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USES OF ESTIMATES



Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions about future events, including interest rate levels and repayments. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Management reviews and approves our significant
accounting policies on a quarterly basis and discusses them with the Audit Committee at least annually. These policies are described in Critical Accounting Policies and Uses of Estimates and in Note A to the Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Companys 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.



NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the
award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. This statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation
transactions using APB 25.



In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107 which provides public companies additional guidance in applying the provisions of SFAS 123R. The SAB expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the interaction between SFAS 123R and certain existing SEC
rules and regulations and provide the SEC staffs views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. The SAB would be applied upon the adoption of SFAS 123R.



In April 2005, the SEC amended the date for compliance with SFAS 123R so
that each entity that is not a small business issuer will be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with Statement 123R beginning with the first interim or annual reporting period of the registrants first fiscal year beginning
on or after December 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and expects that the adoption of SFAS 123R will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.



In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections (SFAS 154). This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and revises the requirements for
the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not
include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in
accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This statement shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005, but early adoption is permitted.

|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------



We estimate the sensitivity of our net interest income, net earnings, and capital ratios to interest rate changes and anticipated growth based on
simulations using an asset/ liability model which takes into account the lags described on pages 28 through 30. The simulation model projects net interest income, net earnings, and capital ratios based on a significant interest rate increase that is
sustained for a thirty-six month period. The model is based on the actual maturity and repricing characteristics of interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities which takes into account the lags previously described. For mortgage assets, the model
incorporates assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on prepayment rates, which are based on our historical prepayment experience. The model also factors in projections for loan and liability growth. Based on the information and
assumptions in effect at September 30, 2005, a 200 basis point rate increase sustained over a thirty-six month period would temporarily reduce our primary spread, but would not adversely affect our long-term profitability and
financial strength.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------



Disclosure Controls and Procedures



The Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys
Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2005. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be
included in the Companys periodic SEC filings.



Internal Control Over Financial Reporting



No
changes were made in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls during the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
