ITEM 9.  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

     The  Registrant  hereby  incorporates  by  reference  into  this Item 9 the

     The Registrant  hereby  incorporates by reference into this Item 9 the Loan
Portfolio  Segment  Reports as of March 31, 2002,  attached as Exhibit  99.1,
which are being furnished in accordance with Rule  101(e)(1)under  Regulation FD
and shall not be deemed to be filed.  This  information  is being  presented  by
management of the Registrant in response to the request of various  analysts and
investors for additional  information regarding the single family loan portfolio
of Registrant's sole subsidiary,  First Federal Bank of California (the "Bank").
Specifically,  the report  presents  information  which  management  believes is
relevant to the perceived issue of prepayment risk on recently originated single
family home loans in the Bank's portfolio. Information regarding prepayment risk
on other loans in the Bank's portfolio is not presented herein.

     A  discussion  of the factors  that could impact this area as to the Bank's
loan portfolio in general,  and the Registrant's  overall business and financial
performance,  can be found in the Registrant's reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  These factors include,  among others, general economic
and business conditions and changes therein,  competition,  consumer preferences
and various other matters beyond the Registrant's control. Given these concerns,
investors  and  analysts  should  not  place  undue  reliance  on  the  enclosed
information.  These  reports  speak  only  as of  their  stated  date,  and  the
Registrant  undertakes no  obligation to publicly  update or revise the reports,
although it may do so from time to time as management of the Registrant believes
is warranted.
