                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
                                  (UNAUDITED)

                                        

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. ("IndyMac REIT") has elected to be treated as a
real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
IndyMac REIT and its qualified REIT subsidiaries.  The mortgage lending and
securitization operations are primarily conducted through IndyMac, Inc.
("IndyMac Operating"), a taxable corporation, which is not consolidated with
IndyMac REIT for financial reporting or income tax purposes.  IndyMac REIT owns
all of the preferred stock and a 99% economic interest in IndyMac Operating.
IndyMac REIT's investment in IndyMac Operating is accounted for under a method
similar to the equity method.  As used herein, "IndyMac" or "the Company"
includes IndyMac REIT and IndyMac Operating and their respective subsidiaries.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation of IndyMac REIT.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the
financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 1997 and December 31,
1997, to conform to the September 30, 1998 financial statement presentation.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1998.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in IndyMac REIT's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1997.

NOTE B - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company's determination of the level of the allowance and correspondingly,
the provision for loan losses rests upon various judgments and assumptions,
including general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loan
loss experience and the Company's ongoing examination process.  The Company
considers the allowance for loan losses of $40.4 million adequate to cover
losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 1998.  However, no
assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any particular period,
sustain loan losses that exceed the amount reserved, or that subsequent
evaluation of the loan portfolio, in light of the factors prevailing, including
economic conditions, the credit quality of the assets comprising the Company's
portfolio and the Company's ongoing examination process, will not require
significant increases in the allowance for loan losses.

senior securities, subordinated securities, AAA-rated principal-only securities,
AAA-rated interest-only securities and residuals.  Interest-only securities are
comprised primarily of interest-only strips retained in connection with the
securitization of mortgage loans previously held for sale.  Residual securities
are comprised of subordinated interest-only strips.  Contractual maturities on
the mortgage securities range from 10 to 30 years.

NOTE E - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", ("SFAS 131"), which is effective for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  This statement requires information
about the Company's operating segments.  Operating segments are components of an
enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance.  SFAS 131 provides informative
disclosure but does not and will not impact previously reported or future net
earnings and earnings per share.  The Company will disclose segment information
in its 1998 Form 10-K.

In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pension
and Other Postretirement Benefits--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88,
and 106" ("SFAS 132"), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997.  This Statement revises employers' disclosures about pension plans and
other postretirement benefits plans.  SFAS 132 provides informative disclosure
but does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans, and as such,
it does not and will not impact previously reported or future net earnings and
earnings per share.

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

GENERAL

IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. ("IndyMac REIT"), was incorporated in the state
of Maryland in July 1985 and reincorporated in the state of Delaware in March
1987.  References to "IndyMac REIT" mean either the parent company alone or the
parent company and the entities consolidated for financial reporting purposes,
while references to "IndyMac" or "the Company" mean the parent company, its
consolidated subsidiaries and IndyMac REIT's affiliate, IndyMac, Inc. ("IndyMac
Operating") and its consolidated subsidiaries, which are not consolidated with
IndyMac REIT for financial reporting or tax purposes.

                                       11

In its mortgage conduit business, IndyMac acts as an intermediary between the
originators of mortgage loans and permanent investors in whole loans and
mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") secured by or representing an ownership
interest in mortgage loans. IndyMac purchases primarily "jumbo" and other
"nonconforming" mortgage loans from mortgage originators, and also purchases to
a lesser extent subprime mortgage loans (i.e., "A- through D paper" mortgages).
IndyMac and its customers ("Sellers") negotiate whether such Sellers will
retain, or IndyMac will purchase, the rights to service the mortgage loans
delivered by such Sellers to IndyMac, although IndyMac anticipates emphasizing
the purchase of loans on a servicing-released basis in order to facilitate
IndyMac's ability to sell such loans through whole-loan transactions going
forward. All loans purchased by IndyMac REIT, for which a Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduit ("REMIC") transaction or whole loan sale is contemplated, are
committed for sale to IndyMac Operating at the same price at which the loans
were acquired by IndyMac REIT pursuant to a Master Forward Commitment and
Services Agreement. At present, IndyMac Operating does not purchase any loans
from entities other than IndyMac REIT. Additionally, IndyMac's mortgage conduit
operations include the purchase or origination, securitization and sale of
consumer or mortgage loans for manufactured housing and home improvements.

IndyMac's principal sources of income from its lending and securitization
operations are gains recognized on the sale or securitization of mortgage and
consumer loans, the net spread between interest earned on mortgage and consumer
loans and the interest costs associated with the borrowings used to finance such
loans pending their sale or securitization, and servicing and master servicing
fee income.

In addition to its lending and securitization operations, IndyMac earns fee
income and net interest income through its construction and warehouse lending
programs and net interest income on its investment portfolio of mortgage and
manufactured housing loans and mortgage securities.  Construction Lending
Corporation of America ("CLCA") provides acquisition, development and
construction, builder custom home, model home and lot loan financing on a
nationwide basis to builders, while IndyMac Construction Lending Division
("IndyMac CLD") provides the same products as CLCA to IndyMac Operating's third
party customers, in addition to construction-to-permanent loans.  Warehouse
Lending Corporation of America ("WLCA"), IndyMac REIT's warehouse lending
division, provides financing to small-to-medium-size mortgage originators for
the origination and sale of mortgage loans.  IndyMac Operating's Loanworks
Division offers a full-service menu of consumer mortgage products directly to
consumers via phone, telefacsimile and the Internet.

IndyMac Operating's Manufactured Housing Division originates and purchases loans
secured by manufactured housing.  IndyMac Operating's Home Improvement Division
offers various types of home improvement loans to consumers.  IndyMac is
currently considering strategic alternatives with respect to its Manufactured
Housing Division, possibly including the sale or the disposition of some or all
of its assets, and is also in the process of determining the viability on a
long-term basis of securitizing loans purchased or originated through its Home
Improvement Division.  In both cases, IndyMac will determine whether to pursue
such business based on management's analysis of a number of factors, including
projected net interest spreads, the risk of credit losses, the economic terms on
which such loans can be sold to investors through securitization or whole loan
sales, and the price and availability of financing.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Lending and Securitization Operations

During the first nine months of 1998, IndyMac REIT purchased $8.4 billion of
non-conforming mortgage loans, including $882 million of subprime mortgage
loans.  In addition, IndyMac REIT purchased $352 million of manufactured housing
loans and $184.5 million of home improvement

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
loans.  These loans were financed on an interim basis using equity and short-
term financing in the form of repurchase agreements and other credit facilities.
In general, IndyMac, through IndyMac Operating, sells the loans in the form of
REMIC securities or whole loan sales or, alternatively, IndyMac REIT invests in
the loans on a long-term basis using financing provided by CMOs or repurchase
agreements and other credit facilities.  During the first nine months of 1998,
IndyMac Operating sold $8.8 billion of mortgage loans (including $382.1 million
of manufactured housing loans) through the issuance of multiple-class MBS in the
form of REMIC securities in the amount of $7.8 billion, $489.1 million of
mortgage loans in the form of whole loan sales transactions and $146.4 million
of mortgage loans to FHLMC.  At September 30, 1998, IndyMac was committed to
purchase $1.3 billion of mortgage loans from various mortgage originators.
Delinquencies (30 days and over) for loans held for sale were 3.4% of principal
at September 30, 1998 compared with 2.3% at December 31, 1997.  The increase in
delinquencies is primarily related to the transfer of the servicing of these
loans to the LoanWorks servicing platform.

Loans Held For Investment

The $1.2 billion portfolio of loans held for investment at September 30, 1998
consisted of $540.9 million of varying types of adjustable-rate products which
contractually reprice in monthly, semi-annual or annual periods; $386.7 million
of loans which have a fixed rate for a period of three, five, seven or ten years
and subsequently convert to adjustable-rate mortgage loans that reprice
annually, $261.5 million of fixed-rate loans and $28.6 million of manufactured
housing loans.  The weighted average coupon of the mortgage loans held for
investment, excluding manufactured housing loans, at September 30, 1998 was
8.2%.  IndyMac finances loans held for investment with repurchase agreements and
other credit facilities which reprice from overnight to one month.  In addition,
IndyMac utilizes interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate
exposure on its portfolio of loans held for investment. The allowance for losses
related to loans held for investment and manufactured housing loans held by
IndyMac REIT totaled $20.4 million and $1.2 million at September 30, 1998,
respectively. Net chargeoffs related to loans held for investment and
manufactured housing loans totaled $2.2 million and $300 thousand for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998, respectively. Delinquencies (30 days and over)
for loans held for investment was 8.4% of principal at September 30, 1998
compared with 6.3% at December 31, 1997. The increase in delinquencies is
primarily related to the transfer of the servicing of these loans to the
LoanWorks servicing platform.

Construction Lending Operations

At September 30, 1998, CLCA had commitments to fund construction loans of $1.8
billion, with outstanding principal balances of $884.7 million.  The allowance
for losses related to CLCA loans totaled $12.1 million at September 30, 1998,
and there were $288 thousand in net chargeoffs related to CLCA loans for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998.  Delinquencies (30 days and over) for CLCA
were 0.7% and 0.9% of principal at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively.

At September 30, 1998, IndyMac CLD had commitments to fund construction-to-
permanent and other construction loans of $805.9 million with outstanding
principal balances of $487.1 million.  The allowance for losses related to
IndyMac CLD loans totaled $1.0 million at September 30, 1998, and there were
$213 thousand of net chargeoffs for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.
Delinquencies for IndyMac CLD were 4.6% and 1.5% of principal, at September 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.  The increase in delinquencies is
primarily related to the transfer of the servicing of these loans to the
LoanWorks servicing platform.

Warehouse Lending Operations

At September 30, 1998, IndyMac REIT had extended commitments to make warehouse
and related lines of credit in an aggregate amount of $1.1 billion, of which
$460.3 million was outstanding, net of reserves.  The allowance for loan losses
related to warehouse lines of credit totaled $2.5 million at September 30, 1998.
There were $200 thousand of net chargeoffs against such allowance for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998.  As of September 30, 1998, delinquencies for
warehouse lines of credit were 1.8% of the outstanding principal balance.

CMO Portfolio

As of September 30, 1998, IndyMac REIT had a portfolio comprised of nine series
of CMOs.  Collateral for CMOs decreased to $185.8 million at September 30, 1998
from $245.5 million at December 31, 1997.  This decrease of $59.7 million is
primarily the result of repayments, including prepayments and premium and
discount amortization, of $58.8 million.  IndyMac REIT's CMOs outstanding
decreased to $163.2 million at September 30, 1998 from $221.2 million at
December 31, 1997.  This decrease of $58.0 million resulted from principal
payments and discount amortization on CMOs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 1997

Net Earnings

IndyMac REIT's net earnings were $39.0 million, or $0.54 basic and diluted
earnings per share, based on 72,070,900 and 72,153,957 weighted average shares
outstanding, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, compared to
a net loss of $(48.9) million, or $(0.83) basic loss per share and $(0.83)
diluted loss per share, based on 58,541,478 and 58,961,909 weighted average
shares outstanding, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

On July 1, 1997, IndyMac REIT and Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc. ("CCR")
completed a transaction whereby IndyMac REIT acquired all of the outstanding
stock of its manager, Countrywide Asset Management Corporation, from CCR in
exchange for 3,440,860 new shares of common stock of IndyMac REIT.  IndyMac REIT
accounted for this transaction as the settlement of its management contract,
which resulted in a non-recurring charge for IndyMac REIT of $76 million.
Excluding the $76 million non-recurring charge related to the buyout of IndyMac
REIT's manager, for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, earnings increased by
$11.9 million principally due to an increase in net interest income of $20.3
million, offset, in part, by decreases in unrealized gains on securities and
equity in earnings of IndyMac Operating of $3.1 million and $2.7 million,
respectively, and increases in the provision for loan losses and salaries of
$1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

(1) 1997 excludes $76 million non-recurring charge related to the acquisition of
    Countrywide Asset Management Corporation.

Interest Income

Total interest income was $153.1 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1998 and $94.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997.  The increase
in interest income of $59.0 million was primarily the result of increases in
interest earnings on the following: loans held for sale, $39.6 million; mortgage
securities, $7.7 million; construction loans, $15.3 million and revolving
warehouse lines of credit, $4.3 million.  These increases were partially offset
by a reduction in the interest income related to mortgage loans held for
investment of $9.4 million and collateral for CMOs of $1.4 million.

Loans held for sale
- - -------------------

Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale totaled $51.3 million and $18.2
million, resulting in effective yields of 8.1% and 8.5%, for the quarters ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The average principal balance of
such loans increased to $2.5 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 1998,
from $846.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

Interest income on manufactured housing loans held for sale totaled $2.4 million
and $1.6 million, with interest earned at effective yields of 8.5% and 10.3%,
for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The average
principal balance of such loan portfolios increased by $51.8 million to $112.6
million during the quarter ended September 30, 1998, from $60.8 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997.

Interest income on home improvement loans held for sale totaled $5.8 million and
$154 thousand for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In July 1997, the Company commenced its home improvement lending operations. For
the third quarter of 1998 the average principal balance of such loans was $215.6
million and the effective yield was 10.7%.

Loans held for investment
- - -------------------------

Interest income on loans held for investment totaled $24.3 million and $33.6
million for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  This
decrease was the result of a decrease in the average amount of loans held for
investment during the quarter of $142.2 million

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
and a decrease in the average yield.  The average principal balance of the
mortgage loans held for investment portfolio was $1.3 billion during the third
quarter of 1998 with interest earned at an effective yield of 7.2%, compared to
an average principal balance for the third quarter of 1997 of $1.8 billion with
interest earned at an effective yield of 7.6%.

Other loans
- - -----------

Interest income on construction loans totaled $34.7 million and $19.3 million,
with interest earned at an effective yield of 10.4% and 10.5% for the quarters
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The average principal balance
of construction loans outstanding increased $576.1 million to $1.3 billion
during the third quarter of 1998 from $741.3 million during the third quarter of
1997.

Interest income on revolving warehouse lines of credit totaled $11.0 million and
$6.7 million, with interest earned at effective yields of 9.1% and 8.7% for the
quarters ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997, respectively.  The
average principal balance outstanding increased to $478.2 million from $305.9
million for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997,
respectively.

Mortgage Securities
- - -------------------

Interest income on mortgage securities totaled $14.8 million and $7.1 million,
with interest earned at effective yields of 6.5% and 6.8% for the quarters ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. During the third quarter of 1998, the
average principal balance increased to $908.3 million from $411.1 million during
the third quarter of 1997. Mortgage securities consisted of REMIC senior
securities, adjustable rate agency securities, subordinated securities, AAA-
rated interest-only securities, inverse floater securities and residuals.
Interest-only securities and residuals are comprised primarily of securities
retained in connection with the securitization of mortgage loans that are held
for sale by IndyMac Operating and are classified and accounted for as trading
securities. These securities are subsequently transferred to IndyMac REIT.

CMOs
- - ----

Interest income on collateral for CMOs was $3.5 million and $4.9 million with
interest earned at effective yields of 7.0% and 7.5% for the quarters ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  This decrease of $1.4 million in
interest earned was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average
aggregate principal amount of collateral for CMOs outstanding to $198.3 million
from $262.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  Interest income on collateral for CMOs includes the impact of
amortization of net premiums paid in connection with acquiring the CMO Portfolio
and the impact of the delay in the receipt of prepayments and temporary
investment in lower yielding short-term holdings (GICs) until such amounts are
used to repay CMOs.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, was
$103.0 million and $64.3 million, respectively.  The increase in interest
expense of $38.7 million was primarily due to an  increase in interest expense
on repurchase agreements and other credit facilities of $39.9 million, offset in
part by a decline in interest expense on CMOs of $1.2 million.

Interest expense on repurchase agreements and other credit facilities used to
finance residential loans held for sale and investment, revolving warehouse
lines of credit, construction loans and mortgage securities totaled $98.1
million and $58.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  This increase of $39.9 million was primarily the result of an
increase in the aggregate average balance of indebtedness outstanding to $6.3
billion from $3.7 billion for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  The effective interest rate on

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
such borrowings was 6.2% for each of the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and
September 30, 1997.

Interest expense on CMOs was $3.5 million and $4.8 million for the quarters
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  This decrease was primarily
attributable to a decrease in average aggregate CMOs outstanding to $174.9
million from $238.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  The effective interest rate was 8.0% and 7.9% for the quarters
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Interest expense on senior unsecured notes totaled $1.4 million for each of the
quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.  The weighted average interest rate
of 9.2% and average outstanding balance of $59.9 million were also the same for
each of the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

Equity in Earnings of IndyMac Operating

For the quarter ended September 30, 1998 earnings for IndyMac Operating of $4.9
million, in which IndyMac REIT has a 99% economic interest, resulted principally
from gain on sale of loans and securities of $38.7 million and servicing fee and
other income of $3.0 million, offset by salaries, general and administrative
expenses of $32.6 million, and income taxes of $3.6 million.

During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, earnings for IndyMac Operating of
$7.6 million resulted principally from gains on sale of loans and securities of
$22.7 million and servicing fee and other income of $3.9 million, offset by
salaries, general and administrative expenses of $13.6 million and income taxes
of $5.7 million.  The increase in salaries, general and administrative expenses
was primarily to support the Company's growth from the third quarter 1997.

Salaries, General and Administrative Expenses

IndyMac REIT's $1.3 million increase in salaries, general and administrative
expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, excluding the $76 million non-recurring charge, is primarily
the result of the increased personnel and expenses required to support the
growth in the operations of IndyMac REIT, including CLCA, IndyMac CLD, and WLCA
as well as the expense of putting in place certain administrative and accounting
functions as part of IndyMac REIT's becoming self-managed.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1997

Net Earnings

IndyMac REIT's net earnings were $107.5 million, or $1.57 basic and diluted
earnings per share, based on 68,313,765 and 68,489,370 weighted average shares
outstanding, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
compared to a net loss of $(4.9) million, or $(0.09) basic loss per share and
$(0.09) diluted loss per share, based on 54,390,590 and 54,922,877 weighted
average shares outstanding, respectively, for the nine months ended September
30, 1997.

Excluding the $76 million non-recurring charge related to the buyout of IndyMac
REIT's manager during 1997, net earnings increased by $36.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998.  The increase was the result of an increase in
net interest income of $57.0 million, and a decrease in management fees to
affiliate of $4.4 million, offset, in part, by an increase in the provision for
loan losses, an increase in salaries, decreases in equity in earnings of IndyMac
Operating and unrealized gain on securities of $8.8 million, $4.9 million, $4.8
million and $5.7 million, respectively.

Interest Income

Total interest income was $421.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and $253.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  The
increase in interest income of $168.5 million was primarily the result of
increases in interest earnings on the following: loans held for sale, $80.9
million; mortgage securities, $33.2 million; construction loans, $40.1 million;
and revolving warehouse lines of credit, $20.3 million. These increases were
partially offset by a reduction in the interest income related to loans held for
investment of $7.5 million and collateral for CMOs of $3.7 million.

Loans held for sale
- - -------------------

Interest income on loans held for sale totaled $113.3 million and $49.6 million,
resulting in effective yields of 8.1% and 8.6%, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The average principal balance of

million.

Loans held for investment
- - -------------------------

Interest income on loans held for investment totaled $82.7 million and $90.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
This decrease was the result of a

<PAGE>
 
decrease in the average amount of loans held for investment during the year of

balance of mortgage loans held for investment was $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, with
interest earned at an effective yield of 7.3% and 7.7% for the nine months ended

Mortgage securities
- - -------------------

Interest income on mortgage securities totaled $49.1 million and $15.9 million,

of 1998, the average principal balance increased to $866.7 million from $293.1
million during the first nine months of 1997.

CMOs
- - ----

Interest income on collateral for CMOs was $11.8 million and $15.5 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  This decrease
was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average aggregate principal
amount of collateral for CMOs outstanding to $219.0 million from $272.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Interest
income on collateral for CMOs includes the impact of amortization of net
premiums paid in connection with acquiring the CMO Portfolio and the impact of
the delay in the receipt of prepayments and temporary investment in lower
yielding short-term holdings (GICs) until such amounts are used to repay CMOs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 the CMO portfolio earned
an effective yield of 7.2% and 7.6%, respectively.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was
$279.8 million and $168.4 million, respectively.  This increase in interest
expense of $111.4 million was primarily due to an increase in interest expense
on repurchase agreements and other credit facilities of $114.5 million, offset
in part by a decline in interest expense on CMOs of $3.1 million.

Interest expense on repurchase agreements and other credit facilities used to
finance residential loans held for sale and investment, revolving warehouse
lines of credit, construction loans and mortgage securities totaled $263.9
million and $149.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively.  This increase of $114.5 million was primarily the result of
an increase in the aggregate average balance of indebtedness outstanding to $5.7
billion from $3.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  The effective interest rate on such borrowings was 6.2% for both
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
Interest expense on CMOs was $11.8 million and $14.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  This decrease was primarily
attributable to a decrease in average aggregate CMOs outstanding to $195.2
million from $249.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively.  The effective interest rate of CMOs was 8.1% and 8.0% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

Interest expense on senior unsecured notes totaled $4.1 million for each of the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.  The weighted average interest
rate of 9.2% and average outstanding balance of $59.9 million were also the same
for each of the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

Equity in Earnings of IndyMac Operating

For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, earnings for IndyMac Operating of
$9.8 million, in which IndyMac REIT has a 99% economic interest, resulted
principally from gain on sale of loans and securities of $79.8 million and
servicing fees and other income of $13.8 million, offset by salaries, general
and administrative expenses of $77.7 million, and income taxes of $7.3 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, earnings for IndyMac Operating
of $14.9 million resulted principally from net interest income of $3.2 million,
gains on sale of loans and securities of $50.7 million and servicing fees and
other income of $9.8 million, offset by salaries, general and administrative
expenses of $37.1 million, management fee expense of $757 thousand  and income
taxes of $11.0 million.  The increase in salaries, general and administrative
expenses was primarily to support the Company's growth over the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.

Salaries, General and Administrative Expenses

IndyMac REIT's $4.7 million increase in salaries, general and administrative
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 is primarily the result of the increased
personnel and expenses required to support the growth in the operations of
IndyMac REIT, including CLCA, IndyMac CLD, and WLCA as well as the expense of
putting in place certain administrative and accounting functions as part of
IndyMac REIT's becoming self-managed.

Management Fees

For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, there were no management fees
compared to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  This
decrease in the management fee was due to IndyMac REIT's acquisition of its
manager on July 1, 1997. As a result, IndyMac REIT and IndyMac Operating became
self-managed, and the management fee was eliminated.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

IndyMac's primary sources of funds include monthly principal and interest
payments on its investment portfolio, short-term committed and uncommitted
borrowings, proceeds from the sales of assets and issuance of REMIC and asset-
backed securities, master servicing fees and other servicing-related revenues
and proceeds from IndyMac's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
("DRIP"). IndyMac is substantially dependent for its financing requirements on
external sources of funds, and as a result, IndyMac's liquidity and capital
resources have been adversely impacted by the recent disruptions in the debt and
equity markets. While IndyMac has procured significant contractually committed
borrowings from its primary lenders, market disruptions have caused certain of
IndyMac's lenders, particularly investment banks and repurchase lenders, to
advise IndyMac informally of restrictions on the amounts, terms and operating
conditions under which uncommitted borrowings will be made available. In
addition, these disruptions have affected such lenders' perceptions of the
market value of the assets that IndyMac has pledged to support its committed and
uncommitted borrowings, which in turn has resulted in margin calls effectively
reducing the amount of indebtedness that IndyMac is authorized to incur, thereby
decreasing IndyMac's liquidity. At the same time, the recent drop in IndyMac's
stock price has caused IndyMac to elect not to raise capital through its DRIP or
secondary stock offerings, and the concurrent widening of spreads in the
secondary market for mortgage loans has also reduced IndyMac's capacity to sell
and securitize mortgage loans at previously prevailing economic terms.

In response to these developments, IndyMac has taken a number of steps to
conserve its capital resources and restore liquidity to prudent levels.  Among
other actions, IndyMac has sold assets in order to reduce its leverage and
borrowing requirements and to raise liquidity by recovering the equity utilized
as part of the financing for such assets. IndyMac has also sought to manage each
of its businesses in order to maximize its cash flows, including by
substantially reducing amounts of mortgage securities and other retained
interests held in connection with the securitization of mortgage loans, reducing
the dollar value of servicing acquisitions, restricting the origination of
construction loans and expediting the sale of real estate owned.

IndyMac believes that its relationships with, and committed and uncommitted
borrowings from, its major lenders are secure at this time.  Throughout this
period, IndyMac has remained in compliance with all covenants and other material
terms of its credit and debt agreements and is in good standing with all of its
creditors and lenders.  IndyMac also believes that its liquidity levels and
borrowing capacity are sufficient to meet its current operating requirements.
However, IndyMac's liquidity and capital resources will continue to depend on
factors such as cash flow from operations, margins on financial collateral
required by lenders, mark-to-market calls and IndyMac's ability to raise funds
in the capital markets.  It is IndyMac's policy to maintain adequate capital and
liquidity and to comply with all leverage and financial covenants set forth in
IndyMac's credit agreements.

The Company's leverage ratio (liabilities to equity) was 6.9:1 at September 30,
1998 compared with 8.2:1 at June 30, 1998.  The Company will attempt to achieve
a continued reduction in its leverage ratio during the fourth quarter by
restricting asset growth and emphasizing the sale of certain loans and
securities.

IndyMac has entered into a repurchase facility with Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Inc. and certain of its affiliates, in an aggregate committed
principal amount of $2.0 billion. The agreement is committed for a period of at
least two years from the date of execution and currently permits IndyMac to
finance its mortgage conduit, mortgage portfolio, warehouse lending,
construction lending and manufactured housing lending assets and operations. The
repurchase facility carries a floating rate of interest based on LIBOR, plus an
applicable margin, which varies by the type of asset financed. IndyMac is
permitted to borrow additional uncommitted amounts under this repurchase
facility, and as of September 30, 1998, the total balance of outstanding loans
from Merrill Lynch was $3.4 billion.

IndyMac has entered into a repurchase facility with PaineWebber Real Estate
Securities, Inc. in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million.  Such
repurchase facility is committed for a two-year period from the date of
execution and currently permits IndyMac to finance its mortgage

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
conduit, warehouse lending and mortgage portfolio assets and operations.  Such
repurchase facility carries a floating rate of interest based on LIBOR, plus an
applicable margin, which varies by the type of asset financed.  IndyMac is
permitted to borrow additional uncommitted amounts under this repurchase
facility and as of September 30, 1998, the total balance of outstanding loans
from PaineWebber Real Estate Securities, Inc. was $949 million.

In May 1995, IndyMac entered into a two-year committed credit facility with a
syndicate of nine commercial banks led by First Union National Bank. This
facility primarily finances mortgage loans, construction loans, and servicing
and master servicing assets. The interest rates under this credit facility are
based, at IndyMac's election, on LIBOR or the federal funds rate, plus an
applicable margin, which varies by the type of asset financed. On February 25,
1998, IndyMac amended this facility, by among other things, increasing the
available committed borrowings from $500 million to $900 million, expanding the
types of collateral which can be financed thereunder and extending the term of
the commitment to three years. As of September 30, 1998, the total balance of
outstanding loans from this syndicate was $825 million.

In May 1998, IndyMac REIT entered into a $100 million revolving credit facility
with Bank of America (formerly NationsBank) that permits IndyMac REIT to finance
its portfolio of builder construction loans. In October 1998, this revolving
credit facility was increased to $150 million. The interest rates under this
credit facility are based, at IndyMac REIT's election, on LIBOR or the federal
funds rate, plus an applicable margin. This loan is intended to constitute
bridge financing pending final documentation of a $200 million commercial paper
conduit facility secured by the same type of assets. As of September 30, 1998,
the total balance of outstanding loans from Bank of America under this facility
was $78 million.

In 1995, IndyMac entered into a repurchase facility with Nomura Asset Capital
Corporation in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million.  While such
repurchase facility was committed for a two-year period from the date of
execution, and extended on an interim basis for a period thereafter, the
commitment has expired, and the remaining borrowings thereunder are presently
uncommitted.  This repurchase facility carries a floating rate of interest based
on LIBOR, plus an applicable margin, which varies by the type of asset financed.
As of September 30, 1998, the total balance of outstanding loans from Nomura
Asset Capital Corporation was $456 million, and the assets financed are
primarily mortgage loans and mortgage securities.

During the fourth quarter of 1995, IndyMac raised $59.6 million in connection
with the private placement of senior notes with certain institutional lenders.
These senior notes are unsecured, and the proceeds are utilized by IndyMac in
connection with its working capital needs. The effective rate of interest on
such senior notes is fixed at 9.2% for a period of seven years from the date of
issuance. In 1995, the notes were rated "BBB-" by Duff & Phelps Credit Rating
Co., and subsequently raised to "BBB" in 1997. At October 31, 1998, the notes
were rated "BBB" by Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. At December 31, 1997, the
notes were rated "BBB" by Fitch IBCA Inc., and "BB+" by Standard & Poor's Rating
Services, Inc. At October 31, 1998, the notes were rated "BBB-" by both Fitch
IBCA Inc. and Standard & Poor's Rating Services, Inc.

IndyMac has from time to time raised additional capital through public
offerings, the most recent of which involved the issuance of IndyMac's common
stock with net proceeds totaling $68.7 million in February, 1995.  IndyMac also
raises new equity capital primarily through the optional cash investment feature
of its DRIP. During the third quarter of 1998, IndyMac raised $82 million in
common equity through the optional cash investment feature of the DRIP.  In
light of the recent decline in IndyMac's stock price, the Company has not
utilized the optional cash investment feature to raise significant amounts of
capital in the month of October, and does not anticipate electing to do so in
the fourth quarter of 1998.  The Company will monitor the market with respect to
utilizing the DRIP in future months.

                                       22

IndyMac has filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission which became effective in January, 1998. Under the terms of
the registration statement, IndyMac is permitted to offer a variety of debt
and/or equity instruments in an aggregate amount of $500 million. IndyMac has
not determined what debt or equity instruments it may offer pursuant to the
shelf registration statement or, given the current market environment, when any
such offerings may occur.

The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code restrict IndyMac REIT's ability
to retain earnings and thereby replenish the capital committed to its mortgage
portfolio, conduit operations, commercial lending and other operations, by
requiring IndyMac REIT to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of
its taxable income from operations.  Certain of IndyMac's material businesses,
including its mortgage conduit, are known to require significant and continuing
commitments of capital resources in order to enable their growth.

IndyMac's ability to meet its long-term liquidity requirements is subject to the
renewal of its repurchase and credit facilities and/or obtaining other sources
of financing, including issuing additional debt or equity from time to time.
Any decision by IndyMac's lenders and/or investors to make additional funds
available to IndyMac in the future will depend upon a number of factors, such as
IndyMac's compliance with the terms of its existing credit arrangements,
IndyMac's financial performance, industry and market trends in IndyMac's various
businesses, the general availability of and rates applicable to financing and
investments, such lenders' and/or investors' own resources and policies
concerning loans and investments, and the relative attractiveness of alternative
investment or lending opportunities.

On September 8, 1998, the Company announced that Standard & Poor's Corporation
upgraded the Company's senior unsecured credit ratings to "BBB-". On October 15,
1998, Fitch IBCA, in response to liquidity concerns and credit tightening for
market-funded companies, lowered the Company's rating on its senior unsecured
obligations from "BBB" to "BBB-", maintaining the Company's investment grade
rating. Fitch affirmed the "A-" ratings for the Company's senior secured
revolving credit facility. Both of the Fitch ratings remain on Rating Alert
Negative.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has significantly adjusted its operating strategies in light of
market events since September 30, 1998. Sudden and unexpected changes in the
debt, equity, credit and securitization markets, including the much-discussed
"flight to quality" on the part of investors away from non-U.S. Government debt
caused in turn the well-publicized difficulties experienced by certain highly-
leveraged hedge funds, the consequent restrictions on credit imposed by lenders,
and the bankruptcy filing by a leading commercial mortgage real estate
investment trust, among other things. These events, in turn, have had an
adverse impact on the Company as a market-funded entity, despite the fact that
the Company operates at what management considers to be relatively low leverage
and holds primarily residential mortgage assets. In particular, the Company has
incurred significant margin calls and limits on uncommitted borrowings from its
lenders, has experienced the diminished acceptance in the secondary markets
affecting all private label mortgage-backed securities to varying degrees, and
due to the decline in the Company's stock price, has elected not to raise equity
capital in substantial amounts under the optional cash investment feature of its
DRIP.

In light of these developments, the Company has taken a number of steps since
September 30, 1998 to prudently conserve its capital and manage its businesses.
In order to raise liquidity and reduce its leverage and borrowing needs, the
Company has sold various mortgage-related assets, including senior and
subordinated mortgage securities, whole mortgage loans and certain servicing
rights. As a result, the Company's total assets have declined from $7.4 billion
as of September 30, 1998 to approximately $6.7 billion as of October 31, 1998,
and the Company's debt-to-equity ratio has similarly declined from 6.9:1 to
6.2:1 as of the same respective dates. Management expects that, by the end of
the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company's assets should further decline by
approximately $1 billion and leverage should be further reduced. Management
experts that, by the end of the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company's assets
should further decline by approximately $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion and the
debt-to-equity ratio should be further reduced below 5.0:1. The Company has also
reviewed each of its business activities with a view toward seeking to maximize
its cash flows, and has among other things limited premium prices paid for
loans, narrowed underwriting criteria and restricted customer eligibility
standards. In connection with this review, the Company has determined that
certain of its current business activities, including manufactured housing
lending and possibly home improvement lending, may have long-term capital and/or
financing requirements that may be more difficult to support in the future, and
the Company is currently exploring strategic alternatives with respect to its
manufactured housing lending business. In addition, the contraction of the
Company's balance sheet and lending activities has necessarily required IndyMac
to take commensurate action with respect to its employee base, which was reduced
by approximately 19% on November 6, 1998. In this connection, the Company
accepted with regret the resignation of D. Tad Lowrey, who had joined the
Company approximately six weeks before that day as Chief Operating Officer.

Under its adjusted operating strategy, management currently expects that the
Company's core businesses -- third party lending, LoanWorks' direct-to-consumer
lending, warehouse lending and tract and consumer construction lending -- should
continue to be profitable in 1999, albeit at lower levels than in 1998.  The
principal factors which lead management to believe at this time that operating
income from core business activities may be lower in 1999 would include widening
spreads and higher returns demanded by purchasers of mortgaged-backed securities
and whole loans due to a perceived increase in risk, potential higher relative
financing costs for loans held by the Company for sale, the Company's need to
sell loans on a whole loan basis rather than securitize such loans in order to
improve cash flows, the Company's intent to operate at lower levels of leverage,
and reduction in interest and fee income as a result of the Company's decision
to restrict the origination of certain construction and commercial loans on an
interim basis.

The Company's sale of certain assets in order to raise liquidity and reduce
leverage and uncommitted borrowings has caused the Company to incur realized
losses on a portion of the sold assets and, from October 1, 1998 through
November 13, 1998 such losses amounted to approximately $14.5 million, net of
taxes. Management believes it is likely that additional realized losses may be
incurred prior to the end of the fourth quarter of 1998, due to planned asset
sales and in the event that further asset sales are required. In addition, as a
result of the current volatile nature of the financial markets, management
believes it is likely that the Company could incur unrealized losses due to 
mark-to-market valuation adjustments on its mortgage securities portfolio as of
December 31, 1998, although the amount of any such unrealized loss cannot be
determined at present and will depend on a variety of factors, including changes
in applicable interest rates, applicable mortgage prepayment speeds and other
valuation assumptions. In the aggregate, management anticipates at this time
that the combination of operating profits in the Company's core businesses,
realized losses from the sale of assets into disrupted markets, and potential
unrealized losses on mortgage securities due to valuation changes, are likely to
cause the Company to incur an overall loss for the fourth quarter of 1998.
Management currently expects, however, that based upon current market
conditions, the amount of any such loss will not result in the violation by the
Company of any financial covenants under the Company's various credit and debt
agreements. Management further believes that the Company will continue in 1999
to be a well-capitalized and profitable enterprise, with fewer competitors in
its core businesses.

On October 15, 1998, the Board of Directors of IndyMac REIT declared a cash
dividend of $0.38 per share payable on December 4, 1998 to shareholders of
record on October 26, 1998.  Although the Company has historically paid out 100%
of its net income in the form of a cash dividend, the Board of Directors
believes that the current dividend is more prudent in light of current market
conditions and the Company's efforts to conserve liquidity. Management believes
that current dividend will enable the Company to comply with REIT distribution
rules, and provide a reasonable rate of return to shareholders.

EFFECT OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES

Due to the characteristics of certain financial assets and liabilities of 
IndyMac, and the nature of IndyMac's business activities, IndyMac's financial 
position and results of operations may be materially affected by changes in 
interest rates in various ways. With respect to its financial assets and 
liabilities, IndyMac has devised and implemented a general asset/liability 
investment management strategy which seeks, on an economic basis, to mitigate 
significant fluctuations in the financial position and results of operations of
IndyMac likely to be caused by changes in market interest rates. This strategy 
attempts, among other things, to balance investments in various types of
financial instruments whose values could be expected to move inversely to each 
other in response to movements in market interest rates.

However, there can be no assurance that this strategy (including assumptions 
concerning the correlation thought to exist between different types of 
instruments) or its implementation will be successful in any particular interest
rate environment. For example, IndyMac has been required by market conditions to
raise prices and reduce its purchase and origination volumes or mortgage loans 
in its conduit business, and as a result, the "macro-hedge" strategy of seeking
to replace prepayment losses on assets held for investment with gains on new
production volumes may not operate consistent with prior periods.

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
In addition, cash flow considerations have required IndyMac to utilize different
strategies with respect to hedging certain assets and/or production pipelines,
including utilizing options as opposed to futures contracts and principal-only
mortgage securities. These revised hedging strategies may or may not be as
effective as past strategies.

Financial assets of IndyMac that tend to increase in value as interest rates
increase, and decline in value as interest rates decrease, would include
interest-only securities.  These financial assets carry an implicit yield that
is based upon estimates of future cash flows on an underlying pool of mortgage
loans.  As interest rates increase, the prepayments on the underlying pool of
mortgage loans tends to slow, resulting in higher residual cash flows than would
otherwise have been obtained, and therefore, results in higher implicit yields.
As of September 30, 1998, IndyMac REIT and IndyMac Operating on a combined basis
held $417 million of interest-only securities.  Of the $417 million aggregate
amount, $306 million of such assets are classified as trading securities in
accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 115, since they were acquired in
connection with the securitization of loans held for sale by IndyMac Operating.
IndyMac is required to mark the trading component of its mortgage securities
portfolio to fair value.  It is likely that, based on market conditions in
effect as of the relevant valuation date, IndyMac will be required to record
an unrealized loss which could be material relative to the book values of such
assets as of the fourth quarter 1998.

Financial instruments of IndyMac that tend to decrease in value as interest
rates increase, and increase in value as interest rates decline, would include
REMIC senior securities, fixed rate subordinated securities, adjustable rate
agency securities, principal-only securities, US Treasury bonds and inverse-
floater securities.  Similar to the interest-only securities, the principal-only
and inverse-floater securities carry an implicit yield based upon estimates of
future cash flows on an underlying pool of mortgage loans.  However, the
principal-only and inverse-floater securities generally sell at a discount,
similar to a "zero-coupon" bond, in order to yield an estimated return.  If
interest rates increase and prepayments slow in comparison to assumed prepayment
rates, the repayment rate of the principal-only and inverse-floater security
would tend to lengthen and thus reduce the implicit yield on the security.
Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the rate of prepayment on the underlying
pool of loans would tend to increase, resulting in a more rapid rate of
repayment on the principal-only security and inverse-floater security and
therefore a higher implicit yield.  To a lesser extent, any mortgage securities
held by IndyMac and supported by adjustable rate mortgage loans may decline in
value as interest rates increase, if the timing or absolute level of interest
rate adjustments on the underlying loans do not correspond to applicable
increases in market interest rates.  As of September 30, 1998, IndyMac held $1.6
billion of REMIC senior securities, fixed and adjustable rate subordinated
securities, adjustable rate agency securities, principal-only securities, US
Treasury bonds, interest-only, residuals and inverse-floater securities.  Of the
$1.6 billion aggregate amount, $738 million of such securities are classified as
trading securities.

In addition to the inherent risks in seeking to manage fluctuations in the value
of certain assets due to interest rate changes, there may be timing differences
in the recognition of the offsetting effects of gains and losses which are
attributable to specific instruments, depending upon whether a security is
classified as trading or available for sale.  The unrealized holding gains and
losses on trading securities are recognized in earnings of the period for
IndyMac.  By comparison, the unrealized holding gains and losses of securities
available for sale are excluded from earnings of IndyMac and included as a
separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Therefore, to the
extent that IndyMac is required under GAAP to classify certain securities as
trading, such identification and the resulting accounting could cause additional
volatility in IndyMac's reported earnings in periods where interest rates or
market values fluctuate.

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
IndyMac is also subject to certain business and credit risks in connection with
interest rate changes.  Increases in interest rates may discourage potential
mortgagors from borrowing or refinancing mortgage or manufactured housing loans,
thus decreasing the volume of loans available to be purchased through IndyMac's
conduit operations, or financed through IndyMac's construction and warehouse
lending operations.  Additionally, with respect to adjustable rate loans, the
rate of delinquency may increase in periods of increasing interest rates as
borrowers face higher adjusted mortgage payments.

IndyMac's liquidity position and net interest income could also be adversely
impacted by significant interest rate fluctuations.  Each of IndyMac's
collateralized borrowing facilities described above in Liquidity and Capital
Resources permits the lender or lenders thereunder to require IndyMac to repay
amounts outstanding and/or pledge additional assets in the event that the value
of the pledged collateral declines due to changes in market interest rates.  In
the event of such a decrease in collateral values,  IndyMac is required to
provide additional funds and/or pledge additional assets to maintain financing
for its holdings that have not been financed to maturity through the issuance of
CMOs or other longer-term debt securities.  As described in Subsequent Events,
the current volatile situation in the capital markets, particularly with regard
to interest-only securities and servicing assets, has resulted in margin calls
based on values taken from disrupted markets, which have been offset only
partially by IndyMac's hedging position and asset/liability management
strategies based on economic models. In addition, increases in short-term
borrowing rates relative to rates earned on asset holdings that have not been
financed to maturity through the issuance of CMOs or other debt securities may
also adversely affect IndyMac's "spread income" on such assets and thus reduce
IndyMac's earnings. This phenomenon has also occurred in the current prevailing
market environment.

YEAR 2000

Summary

IndyMac is in the process of conducting a comprehensive review of its computer
systems to determine the impact of the Year 2000 issue.  The Year 2000 issue
relates to the effects of potential date sensitive calculation errors by
computers whose programs may not properly recognize the year 2000.  The
Company's Year 2000 strategy is to identify all systems which internally and
externally impact its business and determine Year 2000 compliance. Internal
impact relates to the Company's internally developed programs and vendor
purchased software programs which are operated in-house by the Company.
External impact refers to embedded technology equipment and systems, vendors
which supply the Company with goods and services (including data processing
service bureaus), and business partners.  The goals of the Company related to
Year 2000 are to determine its state of readiness, identify risks and develop
contingency plans to mitigate those risks and to identify costs associated with
Year 2000 issues.  The Company is using external consultants to assist the
Company's Year 2000 staff in identifying Year 2000 risks, addressing these risks
and developing contingency plans.

State of Readiness and Identification of Risks

In determining the Company's state of readiness, its internally developed and
vendor purchased systems are in the process of being tested to determine Year
2000 compliance.  Testing is scheduled to be completed by the first quarter of
1999, at which time a risk assessment will be performed.  An inventory of
embedded technology equipment and systems is being compiled in order to ensure
that all components are Year 2000 compliant. Embedded technology equipment and
systems include equipment, machinery or building infrastructure that are
controlled, monitored or operated by embedded computer devices.  No scheduled
internal systems projects have been deferred by the Company due to Year 2000
issues.

                                       26
<PAGE>
 
The Company has inventoried its external vendors, business partners and data
processing service bureaus.  Those that have been determined to provide critical
goods and services have been sent compliance surveys and certification requests
related to the systems which they utilize in their business that could impact
the Company.  Responses to these compliance surveys and certification requests
are currently being compiled with results and a risk assessment scheduled to be
completed in the first quarter of 1999.

Risks and Contingency Plans

The Company has currently identified two material potential risks relating to
its Year 2000 issues.  The first risk is that the Company's primary lenders,
depository institutions and collateral custodians do not become Year 2000
compliant before year end 1999, which could materially impact the Company's
ability to access funds and collateral necessary to operate its various
businesses.  The second risk is that the external servicing system on which the
Company and close to half of its business partners rely to service mortgage
loans does not become Year 2000 compliant before year end 1999, which could
materially impact the Company's servicing operations and the servicing
operations of those business partners that are servicing mortgage loans held by
the Company.

As indicated above, the Company is currently assessing the risks relating to
these and other Year 2000 risks, and has received some assurances that the
computer systems of its lenders, depository institutions, collateral custodians
and servicing system vendor will be Year 2000 compliant by year end 1999.
Additionally, the Company is in the process of developing contingency plans
which will include identifying alternative processing platforms for all non-Year
2000 compliant internal systems and alternative sources for services and
products provided by critical non-Year 2000 compliant financial institutions,
vendors and business partners. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company's lenders, depository institutions, custodians, vendors and business
partners will timely resolve their own Year 2000 compliance issues or that any
failure by these other parties to resolve such issues would not have an adverse
effect on the Company's operations and financial condition.

Costs Related to Year 2000

The costs incurred by the Company through September 30, 1998 related to Year
2000 issues have been immaterial to its earnings.  The Company anticipates that
Year 2000 expenses through December 31, 1999 will approximate between $1.0
million and $1.5 million.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q may be deemed to be forward-
looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.  Actual
results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those
projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to a number
of factors, including general economic conditions, the success of the Company in
lowering its leverage and enhancing its liquidity, the availability of funds
from the Company's lenders to fund future mortgage loan originations and other
risk factors outlined in the reports that IndyMac REIT files with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") is made, dated and
effective as of  September 1, 1998 by and between IndyMac, Inc. ("Employer") and
S. Blair Abernathy ("Officer").  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Employment Agreement
(as defined below).

                                  WITNESSETH

     WHEREAS, Employer and Officer have entered into that certain Employment
Agreement dated as of September 1, 1997 (the "Employment Agreement"), pursuant
to which Officer has agreed to serve, among other positions, as Executive Vice
President and Chief Investment Officer of Employer;

     WHEREAS, Employer has proposed and Officer has agreed to amend the
Employment Agreement to provide for the grant of restricted stock, in addition
to stock options, and to clarify certain provisions of the Employment Agreement;
and

     WHEREAS, Employer and Officer wish to amend the Employment Agreement on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein below.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1.  Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in
its entirety as follows:

     "Stock Options and Restricted Stock.  Beginning with the 1997 Fiscal Year
     and in respect of each of the following Fiscal Years during the term of
     this Agreement, Holdings may grant to Officer stock options and/or
     restricted stock for such number of shares of Holdings' common stock as the
     Compensation Committee in its sole discretion determines, taking into
     account Officer's and Holdings' performance and the competitive practices
     then prevailing regarding the granting of stock options and restricted
     stock.  Subject to the foregoing, it is anticipated that the number of
     shares in respect of each annual stock option and/or restricted stock grant
     shall be in accordance with the number of shares granted to officers of
     Employer at a level similar to officer's level.  The stock options and/or
     restricted stock described in this Section 4(c) in respect of a Fiscal Year
     shall be granted at the same time as Holdings grants stock options and/or
     restricted stock to its other officers in such Fiscal Year.
 
<PAGE>
 
     All stock options granted in accordance with this Section 4(c): (i) shall
     be granted pursuant to Holdings' current stock option plan, or such other
     stock option plan or plans as may be in effect or come into effect during
     the term of this Agreement, (ii) shall have a per share exercise price
     equal to the fair market value (as defined in the current Plan or such
     other plan or plans) of the common stock at the time of grant, (iii) shall
     become exercisable in three equal installments on each of the first three
     anniversaries of the date of grant, (iv) shall become immediately and fully
     exercisable in the event that Officer's employment is terminated due to
     death or Disability or by Employer other than for Cause (as defined in
     Section 5(c)), or in the event that this Agreement terminates according to
     its terms (as provided in Section 5(g)), and (v) shall be subject to such
     other reasonable and consistent terms and conditions as may be determined
     by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the agreement or other
     document evidencing the award.  All restricted stock granted in accordance
     with this Section 4(c): (i) shall be granted pursuant to Holdings' current
     stock option plan, or such other stock option plan or plans as may be in
     effect or come into effect during the term of this Agreement, (ii) shall be
     priced and vest in accordance with the terms set by the Compensation
     Committee, (iii) shall become immediately and fully vested in the event
     that Officer's employment is terminated due to death or Disability or by
     Employer other than for Cause (as defined in Section 5(c)), or in the event
     that this Agreement terminates according to its terms (as provided in
     Section 5(g)), provided, however, that with respect to a termination by
     Employer other than for Cause, restricted stock granted in accordance with
     this Section 4(c) shall become immediately and fully vested only to the
     extent that such restricted stock would, under the terms of such restricted
     stock, vest within twelve (12) months of such termination, and (iv) shall
     be subject to such other reasonable and consistent terms and conditions as
     may be determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the
     agreement or other document evidencing the award."

     2.  The last sentence of Section 5(b) is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

     "This Agreement in all other respects will terminate upon the death of
     Officer; provided, however, that (i) the termination of the Agreement shall
     not affect Officer's entitlement to all other benefits in which he/she has
     become vested or which are otherwise payable in respect of periods ending
     prior to its termination, and (ii) to the extent not otherwise vested, all
     outstanding stock options and restricted stock granted to Officer pursuant
     to Section 4(c) will vest upon his/her death."

     3.  Section 5(d)(i) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read
in its entirety as follows:

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     "If during the term of this Agreement, Officer's employment shall be
     terminated by Employer other than for Cause, or by Officer because Employer
     has committed a "Material Breach" of this Agreement, then Employer shall:

     (1)  pay Officer in a single payment as soon as practicable after the
          Termination Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
          thereafter, (A) an amount in cash equal to one year of Officer's base
          salary at the Annual Rate at the Termination Date and (B) an amount
          equal to the incentive compensation paid or payable to Officer
          pursuant to Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year immediately
          preceding the Fiscal Year in which Officer's Termination Date occurs;
          provided, however, that in the event the first anniversary of the
          Termination Date occurs on a date prior to the end of a Fiscal Year,
          Employer shall also pay Officer an amount equal to the product of (x)
          the incentive compensation paid or payable to Officer pursuant to
          Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the
          Fiscal Year in which Officer's Termination Date occurs and (y) a
          fraction, the numerator of which is (i) the number of days elapsed
          since the end of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year through
          Officer's Termination Date and (ii) the denominator of which is 365,
          and

     (2)  until the first anniversary of such Termination Date, provide the
          benefits specified in the last sentence of Section 4(d) hereof.

     Employer shall also pay in a single payment as soon as practicable after
     the Termination Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
     thereafter, any unpaid incentive compensation payable to Officer pursuant
     to Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the
     Fiscal Year in which Officer's Termination Date occurs, as calculated
     pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, but not
     limited to, the terms of Appendix A.  For the purpose of this provision,
     the term "Material Breach" shall mean a material breach of this Agreement
     by Employer which is committed in bad faith and which is not remedied
     within a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from
     Officer specifying such breach.

     4.  Section 8(k)(i)(A) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to
read in its entirety as follows:

     "engage in any business, whether as an employee, consultant, partner,
     principal, agent, representative or stockholder (other than as a
     stockholder of less than a one percent (1%) equity interest) or in any
     other corporate or representative capacity with any other business whether
     in corporate, proprietorship, or partnership form or otherwise, where such

     THIS AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") is made, dated and
effective as of September 1, 1998 by and between IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc.
("Employer") and Carmella Grahn ("Officer").  Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the
Employment Agreement (as defined below).

                                   WITNESSETH

     WHEREAS, Employer and Officer have entered into that certain Employment
Agreement dated as of  January 1, 1998 (the "Employment Agreement"), pursuant to
which Officer has agreed to serve, among other positions, as Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, of Employer;

     WHEREAS, Employer has proposed and Officer has agreed to amend the
Employment Agreement to provide for the grant of restricted stock, in addition
to stock options, and to clarify certain provisions of the Employment Agreement;
and

     WHEREAS, Employer and Officer wish to amend the Employment Agreement on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein below.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1.  Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in
its entirety as follows:

     "Stock Options and Restricted Stock.  Beginning with the 1998 Fiscal Year
     and in respect of each of the following Fiscal Years during the term of
     this Agreement, Employer may grant to Officer stock options and/or
     restricted stock for such number of shares of Employer's common stock as
     the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion determines, taking into
     account Officer's and Employer's performance and the competitive practices
     then prevailing regarding the granting of stock options and restricted
     stock.  Subject to the foregoing, it is anticipated that the number of
     shares in respect of each annual stock option and/or restricted stock grant
     shall be in accordance with the number of shares granted to officers of
     Employer at a level similar to Officer's level.  The stock options and/or
     restricted stock described in this Section 4(c) in respect of a Fiscal Year
     shall be granted at the same time as Employer grants stock options and/or
     restricted stock to its other Officers in such Fiscal Year.

                                       
<PAGE>
 
     All stock options granted in accordance with this Section 4(c): (i) shall
     be granted pursuant to Employer's current stock option plan, or such other
     stock option plan or plans as may be or come into effect during the term of
     this Agreement, (ii) shall have a per share exercise price equal to the
     fair market value (as defined in the current Plan or such other plan or

     5(c)), and (v) shall be subject to such other reasonable and consistent
     terms and conditions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee and
     set forth in the agreement or other document evidencing the award.  All

     granted pursuant to Employer's current stock option plan, or such other
     stock option plan or plans as may be in effect or come into effect during
     the term of this Agreement, (ii) shall be priced and vest in accordance
     with the terms set by the Compensation Committee, (iii) shall become

     termination by Employer other than for Cause, restricted stock granted in
     accordance with this Section 4(c) shall become immediately and fully vested
     only to the extent that such restricted stock would, under the terms of
     such restricted stock, vest within twelve (12) months of such termination,
     and (iv) shall be subject to such other reasonable and consistent terms and
     conditions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth
     in the agreement or other document evidencing the award."
       
     2. The last sentence of Section 5(b) is hereby amended to read in its 
entirety as follows:

     "This Agreement in all other respects will terminate upon the death of 
     Officer; provided, however, that (i) the termination of the Agreement shall
     not affect Officer's entitlement to all other benefits in which he/she has
     become vested or which are otherwise payable in respect of periods ending
     prior to its termination, and (ii) to the extent not otherwise vested, all
     outstanding stock options and restricted stock granted to Officer pursuant
     to Section 4(c) will vest upon his/her death."

     3. Section 5(d)(i) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read

       (1) pay Officer in a single payment as soon as practicable after the

                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Second Amendment") is
made, dated and effective as of the 1st day of September, 1998 by and between
IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly CWM Mortgage
Holdings, Inc. and INMC Mortgage Holdings, Inc., and successor to Countrywide
Asset Management Corporation, as Employer) (referred to herein as "Employer"
and/or "Holdings") and Michael W. Perry ("Officer").  Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in
the Employment Agreement (as defined below).

                                  WITNESSETH

     WHEREAS, Employer and Officer have entered into that certain Employment
Agreement dated as of November 14, 1996 (the "Employment Agreement"), pursuant
to which Officer has agreed to serve, among other positions, as President of
Holdings;

     WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement was previously amended to provide for the
approval of the Employment Agreement by the shareholders of Holdings at the 1997
annual meeting of Holdings;

     WHEREAS, Employer has proposed and Officer has agreed to further amend the
Employment Agreement to provide for the grant of restricted stock, in addition
to stock options, and to clarify certain provisions of the Employment Agreement;
and

     WHEREAS, Employer and Officer wish to amend the Employment Agreement on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein below.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1.  Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in
its entirety as follows:

     "Stock Options and Restricted Stock.  As soon as practicable after the date
     first written above, Employer shall grant to Officer a stock option in
     respect of 200,000 shares of the Employer's common stock, such option to
     become exercisable as to 66,667 shares, 66,666 shares and 66,667 shares on
     each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the date of grant.  Beginning
     with the 1997 Fiscal Year and in respect of each of the following Fiscal
     Years during the term of this Agreement, Employer may also grant to Officer
     stock options and/or restricted stock for such number of shares of
     Employer's common stock as the Compensation Committee in its sole
     discretion determines, taking into account 
<PAGE>
 
     Officer's and Employer's performance and the competitive practices then
     prevailing regarding the granting of stock options and restricted stock.
     Subject to the foregoing, it is anticipated that the number of shares in
     respect of each annual stock option grant shall be between 100,000 and
     150,000, with the annual grant normally targeted at 125,000 shares for
     "good performance," as determined by the Compensation Committee; provided
     that the Compensation Committee may increase the number of shares in
     respect of any annual stock option or restricted stock grant according to
     the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer of Employer and/or any
     qualified outside consultant retained by Employer for the purpose of
     evaluating executive compensation. The stock options and/or restricted
     stock described in this Section 4(c) in respect of a Fiscal Year shall be
     granted at the same time as Employer grants stock options and/or restricted
     stock to its other senior executives in respect of such Fiscal Year.
 
     All stock options granted in accordance with this Section 4(c): (i) shall
     be granted pursuant to Employer's current stock option plan, or such other
     stock option plan or plans as may be or come into effect during the term of
     this Agreement, (ii) shall have a per share exercise price equal to the
     fair market value (as defined in the current Plan or such other plan or
     plans) of the common stock at the time of grant, (iii) shall become
     exercisable in three equal installments on each of the first three
     anniversaries of the date of grant, (iv) shall become immediately and fully
     exercisable in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Appendix B)
     or in the event that Officer's employment is terminated due to death or
     Disability or by Employer other than for Cause (as defined in Section
     5(c)), and (v) shall be subject to such other reasonable and consistent
     terms and conditions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee and
     set forth in the agreement evidencing the award. All restricted stock
     granted in accordance with this Section 4(c): (i) shall be granted pursuant
     to Employer's current stock option plan, or such other stock option plan or
     plans as may be in effect or come into effect during the term of this
     Agreement, (ii) shall be priced and vest in accordance with the terms set
     by the Compensation Committee, (iii) shall become immediately and fully
     vested in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Appendix B) or in
     the event that Officer's employment is terminated due to death or
     Disability or by Employer other than for Cause (as defined in Section
     5(c)), and (iv) shall be subject to such other reasonable and consistent
     terms and conditions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee and
     set forth in the Agreement or other document evidencing the award."

     2.  The last sentence of Section 5(b) is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

     "This Agreement in all other respects will terminate upon the death of
     Officer; provided, however, that (i) the termination of the Agreement shall
     not affect Officer's entitlement to all other benefits in which he has
     become vested or which 

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     are otherwise payable in respect of periods ending prior to its
     termination, and (ii) to the extent not otherwise vested, all outstanding
     stock options and restricted stock granted to Officer pursuant to Section
     4(c) will vest upon his death."

     3.  Section 5(d)(i) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read
in its entirety as follows:

     "Except as provided in Section 5(d)(ii) below, if during the term of this
     Agreement, Officer's employment shall be terminated by Employer other than
     for Cause, or by Officer because Employer has committed a "Material Breach"
     of this Agreement, then Employer shall:

      (1) pay Officer in a single payment as soon as practicable after the
          Termination Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
          thereafter, (A) an amount in cash equal to one year of Officer's base
          salary at the Annual Rate at the Termination Date and (B) an amount
          equal to the incentive compensation paid or payable to Officer
          pursuant to Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year immediately
          preceding the Fiscal Year in which Officer's Termination Date occurs;
          provided, however, that in the event the first anniversary of the
          Termination Date occurs on a date prior to the end of a Fiscal Year,
          Employer shall also pay Officer an amount equal to the product of (x)
          the incentive compensation paid or payable to Officer pursuant to
          Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the
          Fiscal Year in which Officer's Termination Date occurs and (y) a
          fraction, the numerator of which is (i) the number of days elapsed
          since the end of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year through
          Officer's Termination Date and (ii) the denominator of which is 365,
          and

      (2) until the first anniversary of such Termination Date, provide the
          benefits specified in the last sentence of Section 4(d) hereof.

     Employer shall also pay in a single payment as soon as practicable after
     the Termination Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
     thereafter, any unpaid incentive compensation payable to Officer pursuant
     to Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the
     Fiscal Year in which Officer's Termination Date occurs, as calculated
     pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, but not
     limited to, the terms of Appendix A.  For the purpose of this provision,
     the term "Material Breach" shall mean a material breach of this Agreement
     by Employer which is committed in bad faith and which is not remedied
     within a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from
     Officer specifying such breach.

     4.  Section 8(k)(i)(A) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to
read in its entirety as follows:

                                       3

     "engage in any business, whether as an employee, consultant, partner,

     prior to its termination, and (ii) to the extent not otherwise vested, all
     outstanding stock options and restricted stock granted to Officer pursuant
     to Section 4(c) will vest upon her death."

its entirety as follows:

          respect of the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in
          which Officer's Termination Date occurs; provided, however, that in
          the event the first anniversary of the Termination Date occurs on a
          date prior to the end of a Fiscal Year, Employer shall also pay
          Officer an amount equal to the product of (x) the incentive
          compensation paid or payable to Officer pursuant to Section 4(b) in
          respect of the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in
          which Officer's Termination Date occurs and (y) a fraction, the
          numerator of which is (I) the number of days elapsed since the end of
          the immediately preceding Fiscal Year through Officer's Termination
          Date and (II) the denominator of which is 365, and

      (2) until the first anniversary of such Termination Date, provide the
          benefits specified in the last sentence of Section 4(d) hereof.

     Employer shall also pay in a single payment as soon as practicable after
     the Termination Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
     thereafter, any unpaid incentive compensation payable to Officer pursuant
     to Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the
     Fiscal Year in which Officer's Termination Date occurs, as calculated
     pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, but not
     limited to, the terms of Appendix A.  For the purpose of this provision,
     the term "Material Breach" shall mean a material breach of this Agreement
     by Employer which is committed in bad faith and which is not remedied
     within a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from
     Officer specifying such breach.

     4.  Section 9(k)(i)(A) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to
read in its entirety as follows:

     "engage in any business, whether as an employee, consultant, partner,
     principal, agent, representative or stockholder (other than as a
     stockholder of less than a one percent (1%) equity interest) or in any
     other corporate or representative capacity with any other business whether
     in corporate, proprietorship, or partnership form or otherwise, where such
     business is engaged in any activity which competes with the business of
     Employer (or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including Countrywide Credit
     Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries) as conducted on the date Officer's
     employment terminated or which will compete with any proposed business
     activity of Employer (or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including
     Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries) in the planning
     stage on such date;"

                                 AMENDMENT TO
                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") is made, dated and
effective as of September 1, 1998 by and between IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc.
(formerly CWM Mortgage Holdings, Inc. and INMC Mortgage Holdings, Inc., and
successor to Countrywide Asset Management Corporation, as Employer) (referred to
herein as "Employer" and/or "Holdings") and  Richard H. Wohl ("Officer").
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective
meanings given such terms in the Employment Agreement (as defined below).

                                  WITNESSETH

     WHEREAS, Employer and Officer have entered into that certain Employment
Agreement dated as of January 1, 1997 (the "Employment Agreement"), pursuant to
which Officer has agreed to serve, among other positions, as Senior Executive
Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Employer;

     WHEREAS, Employer has proposed and Officer has agreed to amend the
Employment Agreement to provide for the grant of restricted stock, in addition
to stock options, and to clarify certain provisions of the Employment Agreement;
and

     WHEREAS, Employer and Officer wish to amend the Employment Agreement on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein below.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1.    Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to
read in its entirety as follows:

     "Stock Options and Restricted Stock. As soon as practicable after the date
     first written above, Holdings shall grant to Officer a stock option in
     respect of 40,000 shares of the Employer's common stock, such option to
     become exercisable as to 13,333 shares, 13,333 shares and 13,334 shares on
     each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the date of grant.  Beginning
     with the 1998 Fiscal Year and in respect of each of the following Fiscal
     Years during the term of this Agreement, Holdings may also grant to Officer
     stock options and/or restricted stock for such number of shares of
     Employer's common stock as the Compensation Committee in its sole
     discretion determines, taking into account Officer's and Holdings'
     performance and the competitive practices then prevailing regarding the
     granting of stock options and restricted stock.  Subject to the foregoing,
     it is anticipated that the number of shares in respect of each annual stock
     option grant shall be between 25,000 and 75,000, with the annual grant
     targeted at 50,000 shares for 
<PAGE>
 
     the 1998 Fiscal Year, and increasing thereafter assuming "good
     performance," as determined by Employer's President and Chief Operating
     Officer and consistent performance of Holdings in meeting earnings per
     share goals as set by the President and Chief Operating Officer and
     Holdings' Board of Directors. The stock options and/or restricted stock
     described in this Section 4(c) in respect of a Fiscal Year shall be granted
     at the same time as Holdings grants stock options and/or restricted stock
     to its other senior executives in respect of such Fiscal Year.
 
     All stock options granted in accordance with this Section 4(c): (i) shall
     be granted pursuant to Holdings' current stock option plan, or such other
     stock option plan or plans as may be or come into effect during the term of
     this Agreement, (ii) shall have a per share exercise price equal to the
     fair market value (as defined in the current Plan or such other plan or
     plans) of the common stock at the time of grant, (iii) shall become
     exercisable in three equal installments on each of the first three
     anniversaries of the date of grant, (iv) shall become immediately and fully
     exercisable in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Appendix C)
     or in the event that Officer's employment is terminated due to death or
     Disability or by Employer other than for Cause (as defined in Section
     5(c)), or in the event that this Agreement terminates according to its
     terms (as provided in section 5(g)), and (v) shall be subject to such other
     reasonable and consistent terms and conditions as may be determined by the
     Compensation Committee and set forth in the agreement evidencing the award.
     All restricted stock granted in accordance with this Section 4(c): (i)
     shall be granted pursuant to Employer's current stock option plan, or such
     other stock option plan or plans as may be in effect or come into effect
     during the term of this Agreement, (ii) shall be priced and vest in
     accordance with the terms set by the Compensation Committee, (iii) shall
     become immediately and fully vested in the event of a Change in Control (as
     defined in Appendix C) or in the event that Officer's employment is
     terminated due to death or Disability or by Employer other than for Cause
     (as defined in section 5(c)), or in the event that this Agreement
     terminates according to its terms (as provided in section 5(g)), and (iv)
     shall be subject to such other reasonable and consistent terms and
     conditions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth
     in the agreement or other document evidencing the award."

     2.  The last sentence of Section 5(b) is hereby amended to read in
its entirety as follows:

     "This Agreement in all other respects will terminate upon the death of
     Officer; provided, however, that (i) the termination of the Agreement shall
     not affect Officer's entitlement to all other benefits in which he has
     become vested or which are otherwise payable in respect of periods ending
     prior to its termination, and (ii) to the extent not otherwise vested, all
     outstanding stock options and restricted stock granted to Officer pursuant
     to Section 4(c) will vest upon his/her death."
<PAGE>
 
     3.  Section 5(d)(i) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended
to read in its entirety as follows:

     "Except as provided in Section 5(d)(ii) below, if during the term of this
     Agreement, Officer's employment shall be terminated by Employer other than
     for Cause, then Employer shall:

        (1) pay Officer in a single payment as soon as practicable after the
            Termination Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
            thereafter, (A) an amount in cash equal to one year of Officer's
            base salary at the Annual Rate at the Termination Date and (B) an
            amount equal to the incentive compensation paid or payable to
            Officer pursuant to Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year
            immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which Officer's Termination
            Date occurs; provided, however, that in the event the first
            anniversary of the Termination Date occurs on a date prior to the
            end of a Fiscal Year, Employer shall also pay Officer an amount
            equal to the product of (x) the incentive compensation paid or
            payable to Officer pursuant to Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal
            Year immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which Officer's
            Termination Date occurs and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which
            is (i) the number of days elapsed since the end of the immediately
            preceding Fiscal Year through Officer's Termination Date and (ii)
            the denominator of which is 365, and

        (2) until the first anniversary of such Termination Date, provide the
            benefits specified in the last sentence of Section 4(d) hereof.

     Employer shall also pay in a single payment as soon as practicable after
     the Termination Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
     thereafter, any unpaid incentive compensation payable to Officer pursuant
     to Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the
     Fiscal Year in which Officer's Termination Date occurs, as calculated
     pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, but not
     limited to, the terms of Appendix A.

     4. Section 8(k)(i)(A) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read
in its entirety as follows:

     "engage in any business, whether as an employee, consultant, partner,
     principal, agent, representative or stockholder (other than as a
     stockholder of less than a one percent (1%) equity interest) or in any
     other corporate or representative capacity with any other business whether
     in corporate, proprietorship, or partnership form or otherwise, where such
     business is engaged in any activity which competes with the business of
     Employer (or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including Countrywide Credit
     Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries) as conducted on the date Officer's

     employment terminated or which will compete with any proposed business
     activity of Employer (or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including
     Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries) in the planning
     stage on such date;"

     5.  No Other Amendment.  Except as expressly amended herein, the
         ------------------
