                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bank Plus
Corporation ("Bank Plus") and its subsidiaries. Bank Plus is the holding company
for Fidelity Federal Bank, A Federal Savings Bank, and its subsidiaries (the
"Bank" or "Fidelity"), Gateway Investment Services, Inc. ("Gateway") and Bank
Plus Credit Services Corporation ("BPCS") (collectively, the "Company"). The
Company offers a broad range of consumer financial services, including demand
and term deposits and loans to consumers. In addition, through Gateway, a
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") registered
broker/dealer, the Bank provides customers with uninsured investment products,
including mutual funds and annuities. Fidelity operates through 38 full-service
branches, 37 of which are located in southern California, principally in Los
Angeles and Orange counties, and one of which is located in Bloomington,
Minnesota.

     In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements, prepared from the Company's books and records, contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's financial condition as of March 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, and the results of operations, statements of comprehensive
income and statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1999
and 1998. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all
information and footnotes required for interim financial statement presentation.
The financial information provided herein, including the information under the
heading Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" ("MD&A"), is written with the presumption that the users
of the interim financial statements have read, or have access to, the most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K which contains the latest available audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, as of December 31, 1998,
together with the MD&A as of such date. Based on management's process for
evaluating financial information, assessing performance and allocating
resources, no separate operating segments were identified as of March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after June 15, 1999. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It
requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. This statement allows derivatives to be designated as hedges only
if certain criteria are met, with the resulting gain or loss on the derivative
either charged to income or reported as a part of other comprehensive income. At
this time, the Company has not determined whether the adoption of SFAS No. 133
will have a material impact on its operations and financial position.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
including without limitation statements containing the words "believes",
"anticipates", "intends", "expects", "plans" and words of similar import,
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act. Such forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of Bank Plus and its subsidiaries to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. A number of other
factors may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
performance. These factors include a national or regional economic slowdown or
recession which increases the risk of defaults and credit losses; movements in
market interest rates; restrictions imposed on the Bank's operations by
regulators such as a prohibition on the payment of dividends to Bank Plus; an
increase in the number of customers seeking protection under the bankruptcy laws
which increases the amount of charge-offs; the effects of fraud by third parties
or customers; the effectiveness of the Company's credit card collection efforts;
changes in the ownership of the Company or in tax regulations which would limit
the Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards; and the
outcome of pending and future litigation. Given these uncertainties, undue
reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements. Bank Plus
disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the
results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements included
herein to reflect future events or developments.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     During the first quarter of 1999 the Company continued to follow its
revised strategic plan of curtailing its credit card activities, reducing core
operating expenses, increasing its interest margin and becoming well capitalized
in 1999. The Company's credit card portfolio decreased by over $39 million and
credit card delinquencies decreased from 21.4% at December 31, 1998 to 16.8% at
March 31, 1999. The net yield on interest earning assets increased to 3.08% and
core operating expenses decreased 14.7% from the fourth quarter of 1998.
Other recent developments include:

   SALE OF AUTO LOAN PORTFOLIO

     In March 1999 Fidelity sold $10.5 million, or 64%, of its auto loan
portfolio. The buyer, who will service the balance of the portfolio still owned
by the Bank, has a 90 day option to purchase an additional $2.3 million of the
portfolio. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction.

   SALE OF DEPOSITS

     The Bank has solicited bids from a broad group of potential purchasers to
sell $140 million of deposits and three branch offices (the "Deposit Sale").
Bids have been received and the high bidders have been notified of the Bank's
intention to proceed with these sales, subject to the negotiation and execution
of definitive agreements and regulatory approval of these potential
transactions. Successful bidders will purchase the deposits for an aggregate
purchase price which includes a deposit premium, the net book value of
furniture, fixtures and equipment and the appraised value of the two owned
branch offices. The buyer of the leased branch will assume that leasehold. The
Bank anticipates closing the Deposit Sale by June 30, 1999, although no
assurances can be given that the sale will be completed, or if completed, will
be completed by June 30, 1999.

      The Company is engaged in negotiations with a third party to sell the Mall
of America ("MOA") branch deposits, fixed assets and certain intellectual
property assets. At March 31, 1999, MOA branch deposits were $11.8 million.

     Although no assurances can be given, based on current projections,
including the completion of the Deposit Sale by June 30, 1999, the Bank
anticipates that its regulatory capital ratios will exceed the minimum level
required to be considered "well capitalized" at June 30, 1999.

   STATUS OF EXPLORATION OF STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES

     At the end of 1998, the Company, with the help of its financial advisors,
initiated a process to explore a potential sale with parties interested in an
acquisition of the Company in whole or in part. Information on the Company was
distributed to interested parties and expressions of interest, including
preliminary non-binding offers, were received from several parties. Certain of
those parties have performed due diligence on the Company. The Company continues
to evaluate the preliminary offers received and to negotiate the terms of the
preliminary offers to improve their overall value. To date, no definitive offers
have been received. There can be no assurance that any definitive offers will be
received or, if received, will be determined to be adequate by the Board of
Directors of the Company.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

     The Company reported net earnings of $2.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, as compared to net earnings of $3.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The 1999 first quarter results of operations, in
comparison to 1998 first quarter results, were significantly affected by
increased revenues and expenses related to the Company's credit card loan
portfolio, including (i) an increase in net interest income as a result of the
credit card loan portfolio's higher yield, (ii) an $8.2 million increase in
credit card fees and (iii) a $5.6 million increase in operating expenses related
to servicing the credit card portfolio. In addition, the $11.0 million increase
in provision for estimated loan losses was primarily related to the credit card
loan portfolio. Other factors impacting the 1999 first quarter results of
operations included higher FDIC insurance premiums, lower costs of deposits and
borrowings and a reduction in operating expenses of the core Bank.

     Net interest income is primarily affected by (a) the average volume and
repricing characteristics of the Company's interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, (b) the level and volatility of market interest
rates, (c) the level of nonperforming loans ("NPLs") and (d) the interest rate
spread between the yields earned and the rates paid.

     The following tables present the dollar amount of changes in interest
income and expense for each major component of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities and the amount of change attributable to changes in
average balances and average rates for the periods indicated. Because of
numerous changes in both balances and rates, it is difficult to allocate
precisely the effects thereof. For purposes of these tables, the change due to
volume is initially calculated as the change in average balance multiplied by
the average rate during the prior period and the change due to rate is
calculated as the change in average rate multiplied by the average volume during
the prior period. Any change that remains unallocated after such calculations is
allocated proportionately to changes in volume and changes in rates.

</TABLE>


     The $6.5 million increase in net interest income between the first quarter
1999 and the first quarter 1998 reflects the increase in the net interest margin
to 3.08% from 1.94%, offset by a decrease in the average balance of
interest-earning assets. The increase in the net interest margin is due to an
increase in the average balance of higher yielding credit card loans, a decrease
in the average rate on CDs and a decrease in the average balance of higher
costing FHLB advances. The decrease in average interest-earning assets is in
line with the Company's plans to reduce the size of the balance sheet to return
the Bank's regulatory capital ratios to a "well capitalized" status.


PROVISION FOR ESTIMATED LOAN LOSSES

     The provision for estimated loan losses represents the change in the
Company's allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") and the current period's
utilization of ALLL for charge-offs and allocations to specific reserves. During
the first quarter of 1999, the provision for estimated loan losses was primarily
related to the Company's credit card portfolio and was $13.0 million as compared
to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 1998 and $15.0 million during the fourth
quarter of 1998. During the first quarter of 1999, over $39 million of credit
card charge-offs were recorded while the utilization of ALLL for the mortgage
loan portfolio was less than $1 million. The ALLL decreased from $98.2 million
at December 31, 1998 to $70.6 million at March 31, 1999 primarily due to lower
projected charge-offs in the credit card portfolio related to lower
delinquencies and a decrease in outstanding balances.

</TABLE>

     Noninterest income increased by $9.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998 primarily
due to an $8.2 million increase in credit card fees. The increase in credit card
fees is due to the growth of the credit card portfolio from $112.7 million at
March 31, 1998 to $310.6 million at March 31, 1999. Included in the credit card
fees are origination and annual fees net of origination costs, which are
deferred and amortized into income over a 12-month period, interchange fees,
late payment fees and other ancillary fees. $4.6 million of credit card fees in
the first quarter of 1999 represent the amortization of deferred origination
fees and costs from one of the Company's credit card programs for which the
Company ceased originations in the third quarter of 1998. The remaining $5.7
million of unamortized deferred origination fees and costs are expected to be
recognized or charged off during the second and third quarters of 1999, and no
additional credit card origination fees or costs are expected to be created.

     The contract with Americash LLC to provide ATM cash services was terminated
in March 1999. The Company currently has no other contracts to provide these
services to other companies.

     Operating expenses increased by $6.7 million to $26.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $20.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The increase in expenses was due primarily to costs associated
with servicing the Bank's credit card programs and increased FDIC insurance
costs offset by reductions in core Bank operating expenses.

     Servicing of the Bank's credit card programs, which is performed by third
party servicers and BPCS, increased $5.6 million during the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period in 1998. This increase
was due to the significant increases in the outstanding balances and
delinquencies in the Bank's credit card portfolio in 1998.

     FDIC insurance costs increased as a result of the change in the Bank's
regulatory status. Increased insurance costs are anticipated for the remainder
of 1999.

     For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the operating expenses of the core
Bank excluding credit card servicing, FDIC insurance costs and Year 2000 ("Y2K")
compliance project expenses decreased by $2.8 million and $1.3 million compared
to the quarters ended December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1998, respectively, as a
result of reductions in staffing and controls put in place to reduce
discretionary expenses.


INCOME TAXES

     The Company's expected combined federal and state statutory tax rate is
approximately 42.0% of earnings before income taxes. As of March 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, the Company's significant deferred tax assets, which
primarily consisted of net operating loss carryforwards and bad debt timing
differences, were reduced by a valuation allowance as required under SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." As the Company does not anticipate a
significant change in the determination of the valuation allowance during 1999,
the Company does not expect to record any tax expense or benefit in 1999.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSET QUALITY

     Because over 90% of the Company's mortgage loan portfolio is secured by
properties located in southern California the performance of the Company's loans
are particularly susceptible to the potential for declines in the southern
California economy, such as increasing vacancy rates, declining rents,
increasing interest rates, declining debt coverage ratios, and declining market
values for multifamily and commercial properties. In addition, the possibility
that borrowers may abandon properties or seek bankruptcy protection with respect
to properties experiencing negative cash flow, particularly where such
properties are not cross-collateralized by other performing assets, can also
adversely affect the multifamily loan portfolio.

     During 1998, the Company significantly increased its primarily sub-prime
credit card portfolio. The performance of the Bank's credit card portfolio may
be adversely affected by a number of factors, including a national or regional
economic slowdown or recession, an increase in the number of customers seeking
protection under the bankruptcy laws, the effectiveness of the Company's
collection efforts, and fraud by third parties or customers. In addition,
because the portfolio is primarily sub-prime, the Bank may experience
significantly higher delinquencies and charge-offs than those experienced by
other credit card issuers whose portfolio's are not sub-prime.

     Of the $22.0 million in mortgage loan delinquencies at March 31, 1999, $5.7
million are loans on single family or 2 to 4 unit residences which have Veterans
Administration ("VA") or Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") guarantees. As a
result of the VA or FHA guarantees no losses are expected from these loans.

     Credit card delinquencies decreased $22.6 million as of March 31, 1999 as
compared to December 31, 1998 primarily due to significant charge-offs during
the first quarter of 1999 and increased collection efforts.

</TABLE>

     Total classified assets decreased $21.3 million or 16.0% from December 31,
1998, to $111.8 million at March 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily due to a
$10.1 million decrease in classified mortgage loans and a $10.9 million decrease
in classified credit card loans. The decrease in performing classified loans
reflects the improvement in mortgage and credit card delinquencies and, in the
case of mortgage loans, the performance of the underlying income properties.

     In addition to reserves established by the Bank, cash reserves have been
provided by credit card affinity marketers under the credit enhancement programs
which are utilized to purchase accounts from the Bank after the accounts reach a
certain delinquent status. At March 31, 1999 and 1998, cash reserves were $1.9
million and $6.5 million, respectively, and were recorded as deposits on the
Company's statements of financial condition. Accounts purchased from cash
reserves during the first quarters of 1999 and 1998 totaled $0.9 million and
$2.4 million, respectively and are not included in the above table.

     Credit losses are inherent in the business of originating and retaining
loans. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to absorb losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. These allowances consist of SVAs and an ALLL
which are based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the probable estimated
losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

     The allowance for credit losses does not represent the amount of losses
that could be incurred under adverse conditions that management does not
consider to be the most likely to arise. In addition, management's
classification of assets and evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for
credit losses is an ongoing process. Consequently, there can be no assurance
that material additions to the Bank's allowance for credit losses will not be
required in the future, thereby adversely affecting earnings and the Bank's
ability to maintain or build capital.

REGULATORY CAPITAL COMPLIANCE

     The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") capital regulations, as required
by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989,
include three separate minimum capital requirements for the savings institution
industry--a "tangible capital requirement," a "leverage limit" and a "risk-based
capital requirement." These capital standards must be no less stringent than the
capital standards applicable to national banks.

     The Bank's actual and required capital are as follows at the dates
indicated:

     As of March 31, 1999, the Bank was "adequately capitalized" under the
prompt corrective action ("PCA") regulations adopted by the OTS pursuant to the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. As of March 31,
1999, the most constraining of the capital ratio measurements under the PCA
requirements was core capital to adjusted tangible assets which had an excess of
$21.7 million above the minimum level required to be considered adequately
capitalized. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are subject to review
by federal regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors. There
are no conditions or events since March 31, 1999 that management believes have
changed the institution's category.

   DEPOSITS

     The largest source of funds for the Company is deposits. Customer deposits
are insured by the FDIC to the maximum amount permitted by law. At March 31,

     The distribution of certificate accounts by date of maturity is an
important indicator of the relative stability of a major source of funds. Longer
term certificate accounts generally provide greater stability as a source of
funds, but currently entail greater interest costs than passbook accounts. The
following tables summarize certificate accounts by maturity and weighted average
rate at March 31, 1999:

   UNDRAWN SOURCES

     The Company maintains other sources of liquidity to draw upon, which at
March 31, 1999 include (a) a line of credit with the FHLB with $123.2 million
available, (b) $69.5 million in unpledged securities available to be placed in
reverse repurchase agreements or sold and (c) $493.0 million of unpledged loans,
some of which would be available to collateralize additional FHLB or private
borrowings, or be securitized.

   CONTINGENT OR POTENTIAL USES OF FUNDS

     The Bank had unfunded loans totaling $6.4 million and $1.1 million at March
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Additionally, unused lines of credit related to
credit card loans and other credit lines totaled $132.0 million and $115.8
million at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

                                       22

   LIQUIDITY

     The regulatory required average daily balance of liquid assets is 4% of the
liquidity base, which is based on a quarterly average. The Bank's quarterly
average regulatory liquidity ratio was 17.36% and 24.44% for the quarters ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

   HOLDING COMPANY LIQUIDITY

     At March 31, 1999 and 1998, Bank Plus had cash and cash equivalents of $0.9
million and $0.6 million, respectively. Bank Plus has no material potential cash
producing operations or assets other than its investments in Fidelity, Gateway
and BPCS. Accordingly, Bank Plus is substantially dependent on dividends from
Fidelity, Gateway and BPCS in order to fund its cash needs, including its
payment obligations on the $51.5 million Senior Notes.

     The February 1999 Senior Note interest payment was funded by the preferred
stock dividend from Fidelity and cash on hand at Bank Plus. The liquidity for
the interest payments for the remainder of 1999 is expected to be provided by
current liquidity at Bank Plus, currently projected dividends from Gateway and
BPCS and preferred stock dividends from Fidelity.

     No assurance can be given that funds will continue to be available at Bank
Plus to pay future interest payments, or that dividends will be able to be made
by Gateway or BPCS to provide additional liquidity. The Bank has an agreement
with the OTS which permits the payment of dividends on the Bank's preferred
stock so long as the Bank remains adequately capitalized. The agreement with the
OTS does not constrain the OTS from restricting future dividend payments based
on safety and soundness considerations or future examination findings, and no
assurance can therefore be given that the OTS will permit future dividend
payments by Fidelity to Bank Plus. The Bank has received no indication from the
OTS that it will object to the continued payment of preferred stock dividends.


ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK

     The objective of asset/liability management is to maximize the net income
of the Company while controlling interest rate risk exposure. Banks and savings
institutions are subject to interest rate risk when assets and liabilities
mature or reprice at different times (duration risk), against different indices
(basis risk) or for different terms (yield curve risk). The decision to control
or accept interest rate risk can only be made with an understanding of the
probability of various scenarios occurring. Having liabilities that reprice more
quickly than assets is beneficial when interest rates fall, but may be
detrimental when interest rates rise.

     The following table sets out the maturity and rate sensitivity of the
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of March 31, 1999.
"Gap," as reflected in the table, represents the estimated difference between
the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities repricing
during future periods based on certain assumptions, including those stated in
the notes to the table.

</TABLE>

(1)  Repricings shown are based on the contractual maturity or repricing
     frequency of the instrument. 
(2)  Investment securities include FHLB stock of $66.3 million. 
(3)  ARMs are primarily in the shorter categories as they are subject to
     interest rate adjustments. 
(4)  These liabilities are subject to daily adjustments and are therefore
     included in the "Within 3 Months" category.


     The Company manages interest rate risk by, among other things, maintaining
a portfolio consisting primarily of ARM loans. Interest sensitive assets provide
the Company with a degree of long-term protection from rising interest rates.
ARM loans comprised 94.7% of the total mortgage loan portfolio at March 31, 1999
and 87.5% of the mortgage portfolio is indexed to the FHLB Eleventh District
Cost of Funds Index ("COFI"). The Company's liabilities reprice generally in
line with the cost of funds of institutions which comprise the FHLB Eleventh
District. In the Company's case, the lag between the repricing of its
liabilities and its ARM loans indexed to COFI is approximately four months.
Thus, in a rising rate environment there will be upward pressure on rates paid
on deposit accounts and wholesale borrowings, and the Company's net interest
income will be adversely affected until the majority of its interest-earning
assets fully reprice. Conversely, in a falling interest rate environment, net
interest income will be positively affected.

                                       24
<PAGE>

     Analysis of the Gap provides only a static view of the Company's interest
rate sensitivity at a specific point in time. The actual impact of interest rate
movements on the Company's net interest income may differ from that implied by
any Gap measurement. The actual impact on net interest income may depend on the
direction and magnitude of the interest rate movement, as well as competitive
and market pressures.

   MARKET RISK

     The Bank's Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO"), which includes senior
management representatives, monitors and considers methods of managing the rate
and sensitivity repricing characteristics of the balance sheet components
consistent with maintaining acceptable levels of changes in net portfolio value
("NPV") and net interest income. A primary purpose of the Company's
asset/liability management is to manage interest rate risk to effectively invest
the Company's capital and to preserve the value created by its core business
operations. As such, certain management monitoring processes are designed to
minimize the impact of sudden and sustained changes in interest rates on NPV and
net interest income. There has been no significant change in interest rate risk
since December 31, 1998.


YEAR 2000

     The Company utilizes computer software programs, systems and devices with
embedded microchips ("Systems") throughout the organization in order to support
its operations. If corrective action is not taken, many of these Systems may not
be able to correctly interpret and process dates into 2000. The Company has
inventoried and analyzed its Systems to determine which will require
modification, upgrade, or replacement.

     The Company has established a Y2K project office to provide the business
units with the support, guidance, and project management expertise to ensure
that the Company meets its Y2K objectives. The Y2K project office is responsible
for ensuring that the Company complies with the guidelines established by the
Federal Financial Institutions Examinations Council ("FFIEC"). The FFIEC issues
guidelines to provide further clarification on the federal regulatory
requirements mandating how financial institutions prepare for the Y2K. In
addition, the Company has engaged an independent third party to provide project
oversight and Y2K subject matter expertise.

   PROJECT'S STATE OF READINESS

     The Y2K project is comprised of two major phases. Phase I was the
installation of upgraded mission critical Systems that are reported to be Y2K
compliant. Phase II was the testing of mission critical Systems using future
dates to certify the system as Y2K compliant. After the completion of Phase II,
the Company entered the quality assurance period which includes the testing of
non critical future dates, certification of non mission critical Systems, and
the monitoring and maintenance of all Systems to ensure they remain compliant.

     Phase I of the project was completed in October 1998 with the upgrade of
the Company's deposit servicing Systems to current release levels which are
reported by the software vendor to be Y2K compliant. This milestone also
included the conversion of the Company's accounts payable and general ledger
applications to new Systems that the software vendor states are Y2K compliant.
All Systems upgraded during Phase I have been successfully migrated into the
Company's production environment. Additionally, the Company's mission critical
embedded Systems and mission critical applications that run on distributed
platforms have been renovated and validated for Y2K compliance.

     Phase II of the project was completed in March 1999. This was a significant
event in the project because it certified our internal mission critical Systems
as Y2K compliant. Phase II consisted of testing and validating the Company's
mission critical Systems using future dates. The Company's internal testing
strategy included the thirteen future dates recommended by the FFIEC plus
additional dates that are believed to be important for certain applications. The
Company has successfully tested a total of thirteen future dates. Nine of the
future dates tested are included in the list of thirteen dates recommended by
the FFIEC.

     The quality assurance period was initiated in April 1999 and will continue
until January 2000. During this phase, the four non-critical Y2K dates will be
tested. The Company has successfully tested two of these dates and expects to
complete the testing of all four dates by the end of the second quarter. Future
date validation of the Company's externally operated mission critical Systems is
continuing and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the second quarter of
1999. This phase also includes the certification of the Company's non mission
critical Systems by the end of the third quarter. Additionally, policies and
procedures have been implemented to ensure that the Systems that have been
certified as Y2K compliant remain compliant. Throughout the remainder of 1999,
the Company intends to maintain and periodically test its systems to ensure that
they remain Y2K compliant.

   CUSTOMER AWARENESS AND RISK MANAGEMENT PLANS

     The Company implemented a Y2K customer awareness plan to address Y2K issues
raised by customers. As part of this plan, the Company included an insert in the
March statements advising customers of a Y2K related fraud scam. The Company
will distribute the next project status update in the June and July 1999 deposit
account statements. A risk management plan was developed to address risks posed
by the Company's material customers. Both of these plans were developed in
accordance with the FFIEC guidelines and are being reviewed and updated each
quarter or as required.

   CASH MANAGEMENT PLAN

         The Company is developing an initial cash management plan to address
customers year-end cash requirements. This plan is scheduled to be completed by
the end of the second quarter. As part of this plan, the Company is tracking and
monitoring the amount of cash that is withdrawn. Senior level management is
closely monitoring the plan and it will be updated at least quarterly or as
required.

   ESTIMATED Y2K PROJECT COSTS

     The total expense estimate for anticipated Y2K project activities is $6.3
million. This forecast is based on information currently known about the
Company's Systems and servicers as well as management's interpretation of the
FFIEC guidelines released to date. A significant portion of this budget is
allocated to the staffing of technology and support personnel to implement the
required modifications and upgrades. Additional personnel are also required to
perform the system testing, produce testing documentation, and prepare
contingency plans required by the FFIEC. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had
incurred Y2K related expenses of $4.8 million.

   CONTINGENCY PLANS

     The FFIEC requires the development of remediation and business resumption
contingency plans. Remediation contingency plans are initiated if the Company
fails to successfully complete renovation, validation, or implementation of a
mission-critical system. Business resumption plans are initiated if business
interruptions should occur during the Y2K event. The contingency plans are
designed to provide for the continuation of the Company's critical business
functions should such interruptions occur.

     The interagency statement established June 30, 1999 as the date by which
the Y2K contingency plans are to be substantially complete. The Company is
currently on schedule to complete these plans within the specified time frames.
Once the contingency plans have been completed and tested, the Company will
continue to review and update these plans on a regular basis to ensure they are
consistent with the Company's operations.

     A Y2K contingency plan strategy document has been developed and distributed
to the Company's business units. The contingency plan was developed based on
guidelines issued by the FFIEC, the United States General Accounting Office and
other sources.

     The Company has completed the written contingency plans. The Company has
initiated the process of having the written contingency plans independently
reviewed and tested. After the contingency plans have been approved by senior
level management they will be submitted to the Board of Directors for final
approval.

                                       26

     Significant progress has been made in the development of the year end event
planner. The event planner is being used to manage the tasks that must be
completed to ensure that the Company is adequately prepared at year-end. Many of
the tasks identified in the event planner are required for the Company to
implement the workarounds outlined in the contingency plans.

     The following is a brief description of the Company's contingency planning
process:

     o    Phase I of the contingency planning process has been completed. This
          phase required business unit owners to identify critical business
          functions and to complete a risk assessment for the critical business
          functions.

     o    Phase II of the contingency planning process has been completed. In
          Phase II of the contingency planning process, the business units
          provided additional information, such as estimating the probability of
          a system failing, determining how long they could operate without
          certain functionality and a brief description of the work-around that
          would be implemented if a system failed.

     o    Phase III of the contingency planning process has been completed. This
          phase of the contingency planning process includes the identification
          of all of the documentation, resources, trigger dates, interfaces, and
          vendors required to finalize the contingency plan.

     o    Phase IV of the contingency planning process has been completed.
          During this phase, a representative of the Project Office met with
          each of the business units to review and finalize the documentation
          provided in Phase III. The deliverable for Phase IV was the written
          contingency plan containing details of the work-around as well as
          departmental needs for seven identified disaster scenarios.

     o    Phase V was initiated in April 1999. Phase V involves the testing and
          validation of the contingency plans and the completion of an event
          plan for year-end.

   RISK FACTORS

     The Company utilizes the Systems and services of a number of third parties.
The failure of a key third-party service provider could result in a material
business interruption. Therefore, the Company is monitoring the Y2K progress of
the Company's third party vendors. A third-party vendor test plan has been
developed to test mission critical services provided by third parties, where
appropriate, for Y2K compliance by June 30, 1999. Additional expenses and delays
may be incurred if future date testing or further analysis reveals test
exceptions that require additional system renovations, system replacement, or
the selection of another third party vendor.

     Unknown expenses and consequences could result if it becomes necessary to
execute elements of the Company's Y2K contingency plans. Although the Company
has given the Y2K project a high priority and management believes that Y2K
compliance will be achieved, there are no assurances that the Company will be
successful in addressing Y2K issues within this estimated timeframe or budget.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   ADC CREDIT CARD LITIGATION

     The Bank's previously reported litigation with American Direct Credit, LLC
("ADC") entitled AMERICAN DIRECT CREDIT, LLC, A NEVADA LIMITED LIABILITY
COMPANY, PLAINTIFF v. FIDELITY FEDERAL BANK, A FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK, DEFENDANT,
in the United States District Court, for the District of Idaho, Civil Case No.
98-0391-BLW was settled as of October 30, 1998 by providing for an orderly
termination of the contract between the Bank and ADC. The parties executed all
documents necessary to effect the settlement between the Bank and ADC and the
court entered a dismissal with prejudice of ADC's case on March 9, 1999. All
continuing relationships with ADC have been terminated, other than ADC's
continuing obligation to indemnify the Company against third-party claims.

     ADC's indemnification undertakings include ADC's obligation to provide a
defense to the Bank and Bank Plus in numerous consumer lawsuits pending in the
State of Alabama, including purported class actions, and to indemnify the Bank
and Bank Plus from any adverse judgment resulting from these lawsuits. The
plaintiffs in the Alabama litigation allege, generally, that misrepresentations
were made to them in connection with their purchases of various appliances and
other consumer items, including misrepresentations with respect to the nature
and cost of financing such purchases through credit cards issued by the Bank.
The Bank believes that it has substantial legal defenses to these claims in as
much as it did not control, direct or otherwise have any dealings with the sales
people who supposedly made such misrepresentations. While ADC is currently
performing its contractual obligation to provide a defense to the Bank in this
litigation, uncertainty exists as to ADC's financial ability to indemnify or
continue to provide a defense in the future.

     The distributors of the appliances and other consumer items financed with
the ADC credit cards agreed, in their respective contracts, to indemnify the
Bank and ADC against claims arising out of the distributor's breaches of
agreement or law. The Bank is investigating whether rights or claims should be
asserted against the distributors in the Alabama litigation under these
agreements to indemnify. If such rights or claims are asserted, uncertainty
exists as to whether the distributors will perform or have the financial ability
to perform their indemnity obligations.

   MMG CREDIT CARD LITIGATION

     In November 1997, the Bank entered into a credit card marketing
relationship with MMG Direct, Inc. ("MMG"). MMG was to solicit members of
certain agreed-upon affinity groups to become credit card holders. The Bank was
to provide servicing and other related functions. MMG and the Bank were to share
equally in program profits and losses. In late summer of 1998, disputes arose
between the parties. The Bank asserted that MMG had improperly induced it to
enter into the contract relationship by material misrepresentation. The Bank
further asserted that MMG had breached its contract by, among other things,
refusing to reimburse the Bank for MMG's portion of program losses and to repay
marketing fees previously paid by the Bank to MMG for which the Bank was
entitled to reimbursement, engaging in regulatory violations, and engaging in
conduct which violated rules pertaining to MasterCard issuance.

     On September 8, 1998 the Bank instituted an arbitration proceeding in Los
Angeles based upon such claims, entitled IN THE MATTER OF ARBITRATION BETWEEN
FIDELITY FEDERAL BANK AND MMG DIRECT, INC., American Arbitration Association No.
72 147 01072 98. In October 1998 the Bank reasserted MMG's defaults and
terminated the MMG contract.

     Thereafter, MMG filed an Original Petition and Request for Injunctive
Relief in the County Court at Law No. 5, Dallas County, Texas entitled MMG
DIRECT, INC., PLAINTIFF v. FIDELITY FEDERAL BANK, FSB, DEFENDANT, Case No.
98-10086-E (the "MMG DIRECT, INC. case"). This lawsuit purported to state a
number of claims, including fraud in the inducement, breach of contract, common
law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, accounting and constructive trust, and
sought injunctive relief and damages based upon various asserted
misrepresentations and omissions and failures to perform and breaches of
contract attributed to the Bank. The Bank removed this case to the United States
District Court and filed a motion to dismiss which was granted.

                                       28
<PAGE>

     MMG also filed a third-party claim against the Bank in a case brought by
one of its purported creditors. That suit is entitled TIM MCCARTHY ADVERTISING,
INC., PLAINTIFF v. MMG DIRECT, INC., DEFENDANT; MMG DIRECT, INC. THIRD-PARTY
PLAINTIFF v. FIDELITY FEDERAL BANK, FSB, THIRD-PARTY DEFENDANT, No. 98-11717-E
in the County Court at Law No. 5, Dallas County, Texas (the "MCCARTHY case"). In
this lawsuit MMG asserted that the Bank was obligated to indemnify MMG against
McCarthy's claims under partnership and other theories. The Bank moved to abate
MMG's third-party complaint pending arbitration. The Court granted the Bank's
motion to abate.

     In light of MMG's attempts to avoid arbitration and to litigate in the
Texas courts instead, the Bank filed a petition to compel arbitration and an
accompanying motion to compel arbitration. The petition and motion were filed in
the United States District Court, Central District of California, Western
Division, Case No. 99-00589-TJH(SHx), under the caption FIDELITY FEDERAL BANK,
FSB, A CALIFORNIA FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK, PLAINTIFF v. MMG DIRECT, INC., A
DELAWARE CORPORATION, DEFENDANT (the "FIDELITY FEDERAL case"). MMG opposed and
filed a motion to dismiss. On March 18, 1999 the Court denied MMG's motion to
dismiss and granted the Bank's motion to compel arbitration.

     On March 15, 1999 MMG filed a third-party petition against the Bank filed
in the District Court, 116th Judicial district, Dallas County, Texas, Cause No.
DV-99-01269, entitled REVELATION CORPORATION OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF v. MMG
DIRECT, INC., DEFENDANT AND THIRD PARTY PLAINTIFF v. FIDELITY FEDERAL BANK, FSB,
THIRD PARTY DEFENDANT (the "REVELATION case"). The allegations in MMG's
third-party petition in this action mirror many of the allegations and claims in
the MMG DIRECT, INC. case, although several of those allegations have been
modified and expanded. The Bank has filed a motion to dismiss this case.

     The Bank recently amended its original arbitration petition to update and
more comprehensively state its claims against MMG. The Bank's contract claims
against MMG currently exceed $24 million and are expected to increase with the
passage of time. MMG filed a counterclaim in the arbitration asserting
essentially the same claims that it asserted in the various lawsuits in Texas.
The arbitration proceedings are expected to commence in the second quarter of
1999. The Bank intends to pursue its claims against MMG and defend MMG's claims
against the Bank vigorously. There is no assurance that the Bank will be
successful, nor is there any assurance that a judgment against MMG, should one
be obtained, will be collectible.

   OTHER CREDIT CARD LITIGATION

     On March 12, 1999, Choice One Finance Corp. filed an action, Case No.
BC206945, against the Bank in the Superior Court of the State of California for
the County of Los Angeles. The case is entitled CHOICE ONE FINANCE CORP.,
PLAINTIFF, v. FIDELITY FEDERAL BANK, FSB, AND DOES 1 THROUGH 50 INCLUSIVE,
DEFENDANTS. This action alleges that the Bank and the plaintiff entered into a
contract to market credit cards, and that the Bank breached this alleged
contract and negligently interfered with contracts that the plaintiff had
entered into with third parties. In addition, the complaint contains a claim for
negligent misrepresentation. The Bank disputes the claims set forth in the
complaint, and intends to defend vigorously the asserted claims.

   PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LITIGATION

     On October 19, 1998 a purported class action was filed against the Company
and its current and immediately preceding chief executive officers. The case was
originally entitled HOWARD GUNTY PROFIT SHARING PLAN, BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND ON
BEHALF OF ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, PLAINTIFFS v. RICHARD M. GREENWOOD,
MARK K. MASON, BANK PLUS CORPORATION, AND DOES 1 THROUGH 50, INCLUSIVE,
DEFENDANTS, Los Angeles Superior Court, Central Judicial District, Case No.
BC199336. This action originally alleged that the Company failed to make
adequate public disclosure concerning losses in the Bank's credit card
operations during the period from August 14, 1998 (when the Company filed its
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter) through September 22, 1998

                                       29
<PAGE>

(when the Company issued a press release concerning its credit card losses).
Recently, an amended complaint was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court,
Central Judicial District, Case No. BC199336, entitled HOWARD GUNTY PROFIT
SHARING PLAN AND ROBERT E. YELIN, BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF THE YELIN
FAMILY TRUST U/A, BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY
SITUATED, PLAINTIFFS, v. RICHARD M. GREENWOOD, MARK K. MASON, BANK PLUS
CORPORATION, AND DOES 1 THROUGH 50, INCLUSIVE. The amended complaint purports to
expand the class period to extend from March 30, 1998 through September 22,
1998. The complaint includes claims for negligent misrepresentation, common law
fraud, statutory fraud and violations of the California Corporations Code. The
complaint has not been served on the Company. It is the Company's view that
certain of the claims asserted in the complaint are legally deficient and that
none of the claims asserted by the plaintiffs have merit. If and when the
Company is served with a complaint, the Company intends to vigorously defend
itself.

   ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE LITIGATION

     The Bank was named a defendant in several individual and class actions
brought by several borrowers, which raise claims with respect to the manner in
which the Bank serviced certain adjustable rate mortgages, which were originated
during the period 1983 through 1988. The plaintiffs' principal claim in these
actions is that the Bank selected an inappropriate review date to consult the
index upon which the rate adjustment is based that was one or two months earlier
than what was required under the notes. In a declining interest rate
environment, the lag effect of an earlier review date defers the benefit to the
borrower of such decline, and the reverse would be true in a rising interest
rate environment. All but one of these cases have been dismissed or concluded in
favor of the Bank. The parties to the one remaining suit which was filed on July
1, 1992, MONICA J. HUBBARD, FORMERLY KNOWN AS MONICA J. ROEGLER, ON BEHALF OF
HERSELF AND OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, PLAINTIFF V FIDELITY FEDERAL BANK, A
FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK, Case No. Civil No. 92-3939 MRP (Ex), entered into a
stipulation of settlement dated April 1, 1999, which was filed with the Court on
April 14, 1999. The settlement will not be final until mailing and publication
of notices of the settlement, opportunity for members of the class to opt out of
the settlement, final Court approval, and expiration of the appeal period. This
process is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 1999. Under the
proposed settlement, the Bank admits no fault, wrongdoing, or liability
whatsoever, but for the sake of compromise will contribute $0.6 million to a
settlement fund. Of this amount, $0.5 million had been accrued during 1998 and
the remaining $0.1 million was accrued during the first quarter of 1999.

     The legal responsibility and financial exposure with respect to some of the
foregoing claims presently cannot be reasonably ascertained and, accordingly,
there is a risk that the outcome of one or more of these outstanding claims
could result in the payment of amounts which could be material in relation to
the financial condition or results of operations of the Bank.

     In the normal course of business, the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries have a number of other lawsuits and claims pending. Although there
can be no assurance, the Company's management and its counsel believe that none
of these other lawsuits or claims will have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or business of the Company.
