                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE (1) - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of Downey Financial Corp. and subsidiaries  ("Downey"),  the
accompanying   consolidated   financial   statements   contain  all  adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation
of Downey's financial  condition as of September 30, 1996, December 31, 1995 and
September 30, 1995,  and the results of operations for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, and changes in cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

     The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP") for interim
financial  operations and are in compliance with the  instructions for Form 10-Q
and therefore do not include all information and footnotes  necessary for a fair
presentation of financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows.  The
following information under the heading Management's  Discussion and Analysis of
the  Financial   Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  is  written  with  the
presumption that the interim  consolidated  financial statements will be read in
conjunction with Downey's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995, which contains among other things, a description of the business,  the
latest audited  consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto,  together
with Management's  Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Position and Results
of Operations as of December 31, 1995,  and for the year then ended.  Therefore,
only  material  changes in financial  condition  and results of  operations  are
discussed in the remainder of Part I.

NOTE (2) - MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

     Downey  adopted,   effective  January  1,  1996,   Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 122,  "Accounting for Mortgage  Servicing  Rights,  an
Amendment to FASB No. 65," ("SFAS  122").  In accordance  with SFAS 122,  Downey
capitalizes  mortgage  servicing  rights  ("MSRs")  acquired  through either the
purchase  or  origination  of  mortgage  loans for sale or  securitization  with
servicing rights  retained.  The total cost of the mortgage loans designated for
sale is allocated to the MSRs and the mortgage  loans  without the MSRs based on
their  relative  fair  values.  The MSRs are  included in other  assets and as a
component of gain on sale of loans.  The MSRs are  amortized  over the projected
servicing  period and such  amortization  is  reflected  as a component  of loan
servicing fees.

     The MSRs are  periodically  reviewed  for  impairment  based on their  fair
value.  The fair value of the MSRs, for the purposes of impairment,  is measured
using a discounted  cash flow  analysis  based on Downey's  estimated  servicing
costs, market prepayment rates and market-adjusted discount rates. Impairment is
measured on a disaggregated  basis based on predominant risk  characteristics of
the underlying mortgage loans. The risk  characteristics  used by Downey for the
purposes of capitalization and impairment evaluation include loan type, interest
rate tranches,  loan term and collateral type.  Impairment losses are recognized
through a  valuation  allowance,  with any  associated  provision  recorded as a
component of loan servicing fees.

NOTE (3) - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Net  income  (loss) per share of common  stock is based  upon the  weighted
average  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  outstanding  during  the  period
(16,972,905 in 1996 and 1995).  No effect has been given to options  outstanding
under Downey's stock option plans as there was no material dilutive effect.

NOTE (4) - SAIF RECAPITALIZATION AND ASSOCIATED LEGISLATION

     Legislation was signed into law on September 30, 1996, to recapitalize  the
Savings  Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  ("FDIC").   To  effect  the   recapitalization,   all  SAIF-insured
institutions such as Downey Savings and Loan  Association,  F.A. are required to
pay a one-time special assessment equal to 0.657% of deposits based upon deposit
levels at March 31, 1995. For Downey, this one-time assessment is equal to $24.6
million or, on an after-tax basis,  $14.0 million or $0.83 per share. The charge
for this  assessment  was  reflected in Downey's  third quarter 1996 results and
will be paid to the FDIC on November 27, 1996.

     The legislation  provides that effective January 1, 1997, SAIF members will
have the same risk-based deposit insurance assessment schedule as members of the
Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF").  The FDIC has proposed an assessment schedule based
upon the capital  position and  supervisory  evaluation of  institutions of 0 to
0.27% of deposits, which is

                                       4
<PAGE>


below the current assessment schedule for SAIF-insured  institutions of 0.23% to
0.31%. In addition to FDIC assessments, prior legislation provided the Financing
Corporation  ("FICO") and the Resolution  Funding  Corporation  with  assessment
authority to fund their  operations  and to make required  interest  payments on
their respective  obligations.  These assessments were only paid by SAIF-insured
institutions  and could not exceed and were  subtracted  from the  amounts  SAIF
members  paid to the FDIC for the  funding of SAIF.  With the  recently  enacted
legislation,  both BIF and SAIF  members  will now share in the cost of the FICO
obligations.  From 1997 through 1999,  partial  sharing will occur with pro-rata
sharing to commence  by January 1, 2000,  or when the last  savings  association
ceases to exist.  The proposed  January 1, 1997, FICO assessments are 0.064% for
SAIF-insured  institutions and 0.013% for BIF-insured  institutions.  Based upon
the proposed deposit and FICO bond assessments,  Downey expects that its deposit
insurance  expense will decline by approximately 70% in 1997. Based upon current
deposit levels, Downey's on-going annual after-tax savings will approximate $3.7
million or $0.22 per share.

     Other  components  of the  recently  enacted  legislation  provide that (i)
banking  regulators are  authorized to prevent  SAIF-insured  institutions  from
"facilitating  or encouraging"  customers to shift their deposits to BIF-insured
affiliates  for the purpose of evading the SAIF  premium;  (ii) the BIF and SAIF
insurance  funds will  merge to form the  Deposit  Insurance  Fund on January 1,
1999,  if there  are no  savings  associations  (not  including  state-chartered
savings banks) in existence on that date;  and (iii) the Treasury  Department is
directed to report to  Congress by March 31,  1997,  with  recommendations  on a
common charter for banks and savings institutions.  In addition, the legislation
provides certain  regulatory relief with respect to lender liability and certain
other matters.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

     Net income for the third  quarter of 1996 totaled $7.6 million or $0.44 per
share  before  an  after-tax  charge of $14.0  million  or $0.83 per share for a
one-time  charge  for a  government-mandated  industry-wide  assessment  to  all
institutions  who are insured by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation as
part of its Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  Including this charge,
Downey recorded a net loss of $6.5 million, or $0.39 per share. With the payment
of this  assessment,  SAIF will be  recapitalized  and future deposit  insurance
premiums  will  be  reduced  by  approximately   70%.   Excluding  the  one-time
assessment,  third quarter net income would have been 40.8% higher than the $5.4
million or $0.31 per share earned in the third quarter of last year. For further
information   regarding  the  one-time  SAIF   assessment   and  the  associated
legislation, see "Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements" on page 4.

     For the first nine months of 1996, net income  amounted to $12.0 million or
$0.70 per share, compared to $12.8 million or $0.75 per share earned in the same
period of 1995.  Excluding the one-time SAIF  assessment,  net income would have
been $26.0 million or $1.53 per share, more than double the year-ago period.

     Net income, excluding the one-time SAIF assessment, increased between third
quarters  due to  increases  in net  interest  income  and other  income,  and a
decrease in the cost  associated  with the net operation of real estate acquired
in settlement of loans.  Net interest income increased $7.3 million or 26.5% due
to a higher effective interest spread, while other income increased $2.1 million
or 68.1% as all major categories were higher, especially income from real estate
held for  investment.  The cost associated with the net operation of real estate
acquired in settlement of loans declined by $0.6 million. Those positive factors
were partially  offset by increases of $2.3 million in provision for loan losses
and $3.8 million in general and administrative  expense. The increase in general
and  administrative  expense  primarily  reflected  expansion  into new business
activities.

     Due to the  one-time  SAIF  assessment,  the returns on average  assets and
equity were negative in the third quarter of 1996.  Excluding the impact of that
one-time assessment,  the third quarter return on average assets would have been
0.63% and the return on average  equity would have been 7.74%,  with the returns
for the first nine months of 1996 at 0.74% and 8.93%, respectively.

     At September 30, 1996, assets totaled $5.0 billion, up $270 million or 5.8%
from a year ago. Single family loan  originations  totaled $392.5 million in the
third quarter of 1996,  up from $108.1  million in the third quarter of 1995 and
$265.7  million in the second  quarter of 1996.  In  addition  to single  family
loans,  $86.2 million of other loans were  originated  in the quarter  including
$56.9 million of automobile loans and $14.1 million of construction loans.

     Non-performing  assets  increased  $4.6 million during the quarter to $67.5
million or 1.36% of total  assets.  The current  quarter  increase was primarily
associated with one shopping center loan being placed on non-accrual status.

     Downey  Financial  Corp.'s  primary  subsidiary,  Downey  Savings  and Loan
Association,  F.A. (the "Bank"),  had core and tangible  capital ratios of 6.77%
and a risk-based  capital ratio of 12.93%.  These capital  levels are well above
the "well capitalized" standards of 5% and 10%, respectively,  as defined by the
regulators.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest  income totaled $35.0 million in the third quarter of 1996, up
$7.3 million or 26.5% from the same period last year.  The  improvement  between
third quarters  reflected a higher effective interest spread and a 3.0% increase
in average  earning assets to $4.6 billion.  The effective  interest  spread was
3.06% in the current  quarter,  up from 2.49% in the year-ago  third quarter and
3.02% in the 1996 second quarter.  The increase in the effective interest spread
reflected  several  factors  including a growing  proportion of higher  yielding
automobile loans and a decline in rates on funding  sources.  For the first nine
months of 1996, net interest  income totaled $99.0 million,  up $23.7 million or
31.4% from the same period a year ago.

     The  following  table  presents for the periods  indicated the total dollar
amount of interest  income from average  interest-earning  assets and  resultant
yields, and the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities and the
resultant rates. The table also sets forth the net interest income, the interest
rate spread and the effective  interest spread.  The effective  interest spread,
which reflects the relative level of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing
liabilities,   equals   (i)  the   difference   between   interest   income   on
interest-earning  assets and interest expense on  interest-bearing  liabilities,
(ii) divided by average  interest-earning  assets for the period. The table also
sets forth the net earning balance (the  difference  between the average balance
of   interest-earning   assets  and  the  average  balance  of  interest-bearing
liabilities) for the periods  indicated.  Non-accrual  loans are included in the
average  interest-earning  assets balance.  Interest from  non-accrual  loans is
included in interest income only to the extent that payments are received and to
the extent that Downey believes it will recover the remaining  principal balance
of the loan.  Average balances for the quarter are computed using the average of
each month's daily average balance during the period.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     Provision for loan losses was $4.1 million in the current quarter,  up from
$1.8  million  in the  year-ago  quarter.  For the  first  nine  months of 1996,
provision for loan losses  totaled $7.5 million  compared to $7.7 million in the
year-ago period.  For information  regarding the allowance for loan losses,  see
"Asset Quality - Valuation Allowances" on page 20.

OTHER INCOME

     Total other income was $5.2 million in the third  quarter of 1996,  up $2.1
million from the year-ago quarter.  The increase was spread throughout all major
categories of other income,  with the largest increases occurring in income from
real estate held for investment, up $1.3 million, loan and deposit related fees,
up $0.5 million, and net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities,
up $0.2 million. For the first nine months of 1996, total other income was $19.0
million, up $5.4 million from the year-ago period.

OPERATING EXPENSE

     Operating expense totaled $47.5 million in the third quarter of which $24.6
million represented the previously mentioned one-time SAIF assessment. Excluding
that  assessment,  operating  expense would have totaled $22.8 million,  up $3.2
million  from a year ago.  The  increase  was  explained  by higher  general and
administrative  costs,  as the costs  associated  with the net operation of real
estate  acquired  in  settlement  of loans  declined by $0.6  million.  The $3.8
million increase in general and  administrative  costs was primarily  associated
with expansion into supermarket banking,  auto finance and commercial banking as
well as increased  single family lending  volumes.  For the first nine months of
1996, operating expenses totaled $89.5 million, compared to $59.1 million in the
same period of 1995.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

     An income tax benefit of $4.9 million was recorded in the third quarter due
to the pre-tax loss attributable to the one-time SAIF assessment.  This compares
to income  taxes of $4.0  million  for the like  quarter of a year ago.  For the
first nine months of 1996, the effective tax rate was 43.1% compared to 42.4% in
the same period of 1995.

increased $260.7 million during the third quarter to a total of $4.5 billion, or
91.2% of assets,  at  September  30, 1996.  This  increase  primarily  reflected
increases of $214.4 million in the residential  one-to-four  unit loan portfolio

</TABLE>
(1)   Primarily  represents loans to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired
      in  settlement  of loans  and  loans  that  meet  certain  yield and other
      approved guidelines.

     Originations of one-to-four unit  residential  loans totaled $392.5 million
in the third  quarter of 1996,  of which $367.7  million were for  portfolio and
$24.8  million  were for  sale.  This was 48%  higher  than the  $265.7  million
originated  in the  second  quarter  of 1996,  and more than  triple  the $108.1
million originated in the year-ago quarter.  During the current quarter,  36% of
Downey's residential one-to-four unit originations  represented  refinancings of
existing  loans  (existing  Downey  loans  were 5%).  This is down from both 40%
(existing  Downey loans were 8%) during the previous  quarter and 46%  (existing
Downey  loans were 15%) in the  year-ago  third  quarter.  In addition to single
family  loans,  $86.2  million of other  loans were  originated  in the  quarter
including  $56.9 million of automobile  loans and $14.1 million of  construction
loans.

     During the current  quarter,  loan  originations  for investment  consisted
primarily of  adjustable  rate  mortages  ("ARMs") tied to the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB")  Eleventh  District Cost of Funds Index  ("COFI"),  an index which
lags the movement in market interest  rates.  This experience is similar to that
of recent  quarters.  Increasingly,  the  majority of ARM  originations  reprice
monthly;  however,  Downey also originates ARM loans which reprice semi-annually
and annually.  With respect to ARMs that primarily  adjust  monthly,  there is a
lifetime  interest rate cap, but no other specified  limit on periodic  interest
rate  adjustments.  Instead,  monthly  adjustment  ARMs have a  periodic  cap on
changes  in the  required  monthly  payments,  which  adjust  annually.  Monthly
adjustment ARMs allow for negative  amortization (the addition to loan principal
of accrued interest that exceeds the required loan payment). There is a limit on
the amount of  negative  amortization,  such that the  principal  plus the added
amount cannot  exceed 110% of the original  loan amount.  At September 30, 1996,
$1.6  billion of the ARMs in Downey's  loan  portfolio  were subject to negative
amortization of which $12.6 million,  or less than 1%, represented the amount of
negative amortization added to the unpaid loan balance.

     Downey also continues to originate residential fixed interest rate mortgage
loans to meet  consumer  demand,  but  intends to sell the  majority of all such
loans originated.  Sales of loans and mortgage-backed  securities  originated by
Downey  were $25.1  million  for the third  quarter of 1996,  compared  to $43.6
million in the previous quarter and $28.6 million for the third quarter of 1995.
All were secured by residential one-to-four unit property.

     At September 30, 1996,  Downey had  commitments to fund loans  amounting to
$139.8  million,  undrawn lines of credit of $71.6 million,  loans in process of
$43.7 million and no letters of credit.  Downey  believes its current sources of
funds will enable it to meet these  obligations  while  exceeding all regulatory
liquidity requirements.

     Loans  held  for sale  are  carried  at the  lower  of cost or  market.  At
September  30,  1996,  no valuation  allowance  was required as the market value
exceeded book value on an aggregate basis.

     Mortgage-backed  securities  available  for sale are  carried at fair value
and, at September  30, 1996,  reflect an unrealized  loss of $0.4  million.  The
current  quarter-end  unrealized  loss,  less the  associated tax effect of $0.2
million,  is reflected as a separate  component  of  stockholders'  equity until
realized.

INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE AND JOINT VENTURES

     Downey's  investment  in real estate and joint  ventures  amounted to $44.6
million at September  30, 1996,  compared to $42.3 million at December 31, 1995,

DEPOSITS

     At September 30, 1996,  deposits totaled $3.9 billion,  up 2.8% from a year
ago.  Branch  generated  deposits  increased  $263  million  or 7.2%,  while all
remaining  Wall Street  generated  deposits  matured and were not  renewed.  The
increase  between third  quarters was in regular  passbook and  certificates  of
deposit,  and to a lesser  extent,  checking  accounts.  The  increase  in these
accounts,  however,  was  tempered  by a decline  in the  level of money  market
accounts.  The  following  table  sets  forth  information  concerning  Downey's
deposits and average rates paid at the dates indicated.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     The following  table sets forth the repricing  frequency of Downey's  major
asset and  liability  categories  as of September  30, 1996,  as well as certain
information   regarding   the  repricing   and  maturity   differences   between
interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities  ("gap")  in future
periods.  The  repricing  frequencies  have  been  determined  by  reference  to
projected  maturities,   based  upon  contractual  maturities  as  adjusted  for
scheduled repayments and "repricing  mechanisms"  (provisions for changes in the
interest and dividend  rates of assets and  liabilities).  Prepayment  rates are
assumed  on  substantially  all  of  Downey's  loan  portfolio  based  upon  its
historical loan prepayment experience and anticipated future
                                       15

prepayments.  Repricing  mechanisms on certain of Downey's assets are subject to
limitations,  such as caps on the amount  that  interest  rates and  payments on
Downey's loans may adjust, and accordingly,  such assets do not normally respond
as completely or rapidly as Downey's  liabilities to changes in market  interest
rates.  The  interest  rate  sensitivity  of  Downey's  assets  and  liabilities
illustrated in the table would vary substantially if different  assumptions were
used or if actual experience differed from the assumptions set forth.

investment $940 million of adjustable rate loans and mortgage-backed  securities
which represented approximately 81% of all loans and mortgage-backed  securities
originated and purchased for investment during the period.

     At September  30, 1996,  98% of Downey's  interest-earning  assets  mature,
reprice or are  estimated to prepay within five years,  unchanged  from June 30,
1996,  but down  slightly  from 99% at both  December 31, 1995 and September 30,
1995.  At  September  30,  1996,  loans  and  mortgage-backed   securities  with
adjustable  interest rates represented 89% of Downey's loans and mortgage-backed
securities  portfolios.  During the third quarter of 1996,  Downey  continued to
offer residential  fixed-rate loan products to its customers  primarily for sale
in the secondary market.  Downey prices and originates such fixed-rate  mortgage
loans for sale into the secondary market in order to increase  opportunities for
originating  ARMs and generate fee and servicing  income.  Downey does originate
fixed-rate loans for portfolio to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired in
settlement of loans and which meet certain yield and other approved guidelines.

     At  September  30, 1996,  $4.3  billion or 94% of the total loan  portfolio
(including  mortgage-backed  securities)  consisted of adjustable rate loans and
loans with a due date of five years or less,  compared  to $4.0  billion or 93%,
$4.0 billion or 95%,  $4.0 billion or 96%, at June 30, 1996,  December 31, 1995,
and September 30, 1995, respectively.

were located in  California,  with the  exception  of one  property  acquired in
settlement of a loan located in Arizona.

Valuation Allowances

     Allowances for losses on all assets  (including  loans) were $63.2 million,
$61.4 million, $64.1 million, and $65.0 million, at September 30, 1996, June 30,
1996, December 31, 1995, and September 30, 1995,  respectively.  For information

total  allowance of $30.3  million was $27.5  million of general loan  valuation
allowances,  of which $2.8 million  represents  an  unallocated  portion.  These
general loan  valuation  allowances may be included as a component of risk-based

(1)   At June 30,  1994,  the Bank  established  a general  valuation  allowance
      related to a mortgage-backed  security in its held to maturity  portfolio,
      against which a charge-off  was recorded  during the 1995 fourth  quarter,
      thereby eliminating the allowance.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     The primary  sources of funds  generated in the third  quarter of 1996 were
principal repayments (including prepayments, but excluding Downey refinances) on
loans and  mortgage-backed  securities of $166.8  million,  and net increases in
FHLB advances of $157.8 million and in deposits of $60.8 million.

     These funds were used  primarily to originate  loans held for investment of
$428.1  million  (net of  Downey  refinances  of  $20.6  million)  and  purchase
mortgage-backed securities of $4.7 million.

                                       21
<PAGE>



     Loan  repayments  continued to represent a major source of funds,  totaling
$183.6  million  in the 1996  third  quarter.  This  level was below the  $205.6
million in the previous quarter,  but above the $164.1 million in the 1995 third
quarter.

     At September 30, 1996, the Bank's ratio of regulatory  liquidity was 5.12%,
compared to 5.03% at December 31, 1995,  and 5.06% at  September  30, 1995.  The
ratio remains above the regulatory minimum of 5%.

     Stockholders' equity totaled $383.6 million at September 30, 1996, compared
to $384.1  million at December 31,  1995,  and $373.9  million at September  30,
1995.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

     The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank's  stockholder's equity
to federal  regulatory  capital as of September 30, 1996.  The core and tangible
capital  ratios were 6.77% and the  risk-based  capital  ratio was  12.93%.  The
Bank's capital ratios exceed the "well capitalized" standards of 5% for core and
tangible and 10% for risk-based, as defined by regulation.

     In a real estate joint venture relationship involving four shopping centers
with aggregate  assets of $42.2  million,  DSL Service  Company,  a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Bank,  and its joint venture  partners  agreed in July 1996 to
sell the real estate  assets  prior to  year-end  1996 or legal  ownership  will
revert solely to DSL Service Company. These shopping center assets are currently
joint ventures for legal  purposes;  however,  DSL Service Company could acquire
operating  control and management of these shopping centers if the sale does not
take  place.  In such an event,  Downey  would begin to report  these  assets as
wholly owned for financial reporting  purposes.  Two of the shopping centers are
currently  financed,  in part,  by secured  notes from the Bank in the amount of
$29.8 million and $1.2 million,  respectively.  These secured notes would become
part of the Bank's  investment in DSL Service Company and would be deducted from
capital when calculating  regulatory capital ratios until such time as the notes
are repaid.  Based on  September  30, 1996 data,  such a deduction  from capital
would reduce the Bank's tangible and core capital ratios to 6.18% from 6.77% and
the risk-based capital ratio to 11.95% from 12.93%, in all cases still above the
"well capitalized" standards.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Sale of Annuities

     Effective  the end of third quarter 1996,  Downey  ceased  selling  annuity
insurance  products to customers.  After offering the program for a year, it was
determined  that there was not  sufficient  customer  interest to  continue  the
program.

Current Accounting Issues

     In June, 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Accounting  Standards  No.  125,  Accounting  for  Transfers  and  Servicing  of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ("SFAS 125").

     SFAS 125 provides  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for transfers and
servicing  of  financial  assets  and  extinguishments  of  liabilities.   Those
standards are based on consistent application of a financial-components approach
that  focuses on control.  Under that  approach,  after a transfer of  financial
assets,  an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and
the liabilities it has incurred,  derecognizes financial assets when control has
been  surrendered,  and  derecognizes  liabilities when  extinguished.  SFAS 125
provides consistent  standards for distinguishing  transfers of financial assets
that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.

     SFAS 125 requires that liabilities and derivatives  incurred or obtained by
transferors as part of a transfer of financial  assets be initially  measured at
fair value,  if  practicable.  It also requires that servicing  assets and other
retained  interests  in the  transferred  assets be measured by  allocating  the
previous  carrying  amount  between  the  assets  sold,  if  any,  and  retained
interests,  if any,  based  on their  relative  fair  values  at the date of the
transfer.

     SFAS 125 included  specific  provisions  to deal with  servicing  assets or
liabilities.  These provisions retain the impairment and amortization approaches
that are contained in Statement No. 122 but eliminates the  distinction  between
normal and excess servicing.

     SFAS 125 will be effective for  transactions  occurring  after December 31,
1996. It is not  anticipated  that the financial  impact of this  statement will
have a material effect on Downey.

Stock Split Effected in the Form of a Dividend

     To  enhance  the   marketability   of  Downey's   stock  by  expanding  the
availability  of shares in the public  market and  pricing  the stock at a level
more  attractive to investors,  the Board of Directors  announced on October 29,
1996, a three-for-two  split of Downey's common stock to be effected in the form
of a stock dividend.  One additional common share will be issued on December 12,
1996, for every two shares held by shareholders of record on November 15, 1996.
