                   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, 1997, December 31, 1996 and
September 30, 1996,  and the results of operations for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and changes in cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. 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, 1996, 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, 1996,  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) - TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL  ASSETS AND  EXTINGUISHMENTS  OF
           LIABILITIES

     Downey  adopted,   effective  January  1,  1997,   Statement  of  Financial
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 includes  specific  provisions  to deal with  servicing  assets or
liabilities.  These provisions retain the impairment and amortization approaches
that are  contained  in Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 122,
"Accounting  for  Mortgage  Servicing  Rights,  an Amendment to FASB No. 65" but
eliminates the distinction between normal and excess servicing.

     The  adoption  of SFAS  125 did not have a  material  financial  impact  on
Downey.

NOTE (3) - NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net  income  per  share  is based  upon  the  weighted  average  number  of
outstanding  shares and stock options  deemed to be common stock  equivalents to
the extent they are dilutive.  Prior period outstanding shares and stock options
have been adjusted for stock dividends and stock splits.

NOTE (4) - DERIVATIVES

     As part of its secondary marketing activities, Downey utilizes forward sale
contracts  to hedge  the  value of loans  originated  for sale  against  adverse
changes in interest  rates.  At September 30, 1997,  such contracts  amounted to
approximately $24 million.  These contracts have a high correlation to the price
movement of the loans being hedged.  There is no recognition of unrealized gains
and losses on these contracts in the balance sheet or statement of income.  When
the related loans are sold,  the deferred  gains or losses from these  contracts
are  recognized in the statement of income as a component of net gains or losses
on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities.

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


     Certain   statements   under  this  caption   constitute   "forward-looking
statements"  under the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 which
involve   risks  and   uncertainties.   Downey's   actual   results  may  differ
significantly  from the results  discussed in such  forward-looking  statements.
Factors  that might  cause such a  difference  include,  but are not limited to,
economic  conditions,  competition in the geographic and business areas in which
Downey conducts its operations,  fluctuations in interest rates,  credit quality
and government regulation.

OVERVIEW

     Net income for the third quarter of 1997 totaled $10.6 million or $0.39 per
share. This compares to a net loss in the year-ago third quarter of $6.5 million
or $0.24 per share.  The loss in the year-ago  third quarter was due solely to a
one-time  assessment to  recapitalize  the Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund
("SAIF"). Downey's share of that assessment was $14.0 million or $0.52 per share
on an after-tax basis. Excluding the impact of that assessment from the year-ago
quarter, net income for the current quarter would have been 39.5% higher.

     For the first nine  months of 1997,  net income  totaled  $31.2  million or
$1.16 per share,  up 20.0% from the  adjusted  year-ago  results  excluding  the
impact of the  previously  mentioned  one-time SAIF  assessment.  Including that
assessment,  net income for the first nine  months of 1996 was $12.0  million or
$0.45 per share.

     The increase in net income between third  quarters,  excluding the one-time
SAIF  assessment,  reflected an increase in net interest  income,  a decrease in
provision for loan losses and an increase in other income.  Net interest  income
increased $2.5 million or 7.2% due to a 25.4% increase in average earning assets
as the effective  interest spread declined between quarters.  Provision for loan
losses  declined $2.5 million,  while total other income  increased $2.8 million
reflecting  increases in net gains on sales of loans,  loan and deposit  related
fees and income from real estate held for  investment.  Those  positive  factors
were  partially  offset,  however,  by a $2.6  million  increase  in general and
administrative  costs  due,  in part,  to branch  expansion,  particularly  into
supermarket  banking,  higher  advertising  expenditures,  and  growth  in  auto
lending.

     For the third quarter of 1997,  the return on average  assets was 0.71% and
the return on average equity was 10.28%, bringing the returns for the first nine
months of 1997 to 0.74% and 10.31%, respectively.

     At September 30, 1997,  assets  totaled $5.9 billion,  up 18.2% from a year
ago, but virtually  unchanged  from the end of the second  quarter of 1997.  The
lack of asset growth during the current  quarter was  intentional  and primarily
reflected the sale of $290.5 million of single family  adjustable rate mortgages
from the loan portfolio.  Single family loan originations were $464.0 million in
the third  quarter of 1997  compared to $392.5  million in the third  quarter of
1996 and $714.9  million in the second  quarter of 1997. Of the current  quarter
total, $79.5 million represented  originations for portfolio of subprime credits
("A-," "B" and "C") as part of Downey's  strategy to enhance the portfolio's net
yield.  In addition to single family loans,  $120.2  million of other loans were
originated in the quarter including $70.8 million of automobile loans.

     Non-performing  assets  declined  $0.2 million  during the quarter to $55.7
million or 0.95% of total assets.

     Based on regulatory  rules in effect at September 30, 1997,  Downey Savings
and Loan Association, F.A. (the "Bank"), had core and tangible capital ratios of
6.40% and a risk-based  capital ratio of 12.30%.  These capital  levels are well
above the "well capitalized" standards of 5% and 10%,  respectively,  as defined
by regulation.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest  income totaled $37.6 million in the third quarter of 1997, up
$2.5  million or 7.2% from the same period last year.  The  improvement  between
third quarters  reflects an increase of 25.4% in average  earning assets to $5.7
billion,  as the effective  interest  spread declined from 3.06% in the year-ago
third  quarter to 2.62% in the current  quarter.  The  decline in the  effective
interest spread  primarily  reflected an increase in funding costs as the growth
in earning assets was primarily funded with higher cost  certificates of deposit
and  borrowings.  For the first nine months of 1997, net interest income totaled
$113.0 million, up $13.9 million or 14.1% 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,  the interest  expense on average  interest-bearing  liabilities and the
resultant costs,  expressed both in dollars and rates. The table also sets forth
the net interest  income,  the interest rate spread and the  effective  interest
rate spread.  The effective  interest rate 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 $1.6 million in the current quarter  compared
to $4.1  million in the  year-ago  quarter.  For the first nine  months of 1997,
provision for loan losses totaled $5.6 million,  compared to $7.5 million in the
year-ago period.  For information  regarding the allowance for loan losses,  see
"Asset Quality - Valuation Allowances" on page 21.

OTHER INCOME

     Total other income was $8.0 million in the third  quarter of 1997,  up $2.8
million from the year-ago quarter.  The increase primarily occurred in net gains
on sales of loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  up $1.3  million;  loan and
deposit  related  fees,  up $1.0  million;  and income from real estate held for
investment,  up $0.7 million.  Included  within the current quarter net gains on
sales  of  loans  and  mortgage-backed  securities  was a gain of  $1.1  million
associated  with the sale of $290.5  million of adjustable  rate mortgage  loans
originally included within loans held for investment.  For the first nine months
of 1997, total other income was $24.4 million, up $5.4 million from a year ago.

OPERATING EXPENSE

     Operating  expense  totaled $25.5 million in the third quarter,  down $22.0
million  from the third  quarter  of 1996,  which  included  the  $24.6  million
one-time SAIF assessment.  Excluding that assessment,  operating  expenses would
have increased $2.7 million or 11.6%.  Higher general and  administrative  costs
were primarily responsible for the increase.  General and administrative expense
increased  $2.6 million or 11.9% and reflected  branch  expansion,  particularly
into supermarket  banking,  higher  advertising  expenditures and growth in auto
lending.  The $0.8 million  increase in advertising  expenditures  reflects,  in
large part,  the cost of a television  advertising  campaign to increase  public
awareness of the Bank, and specifically the Bank's subprime  residential lending
product,  a key component to Downey's  strategy of increasing the loan portfolio
yield.  For the first nine  months of 1997,  operating  expenses  totaled  $76.9
million compared to $89.5 million in the same period of 1996.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes for the third quarter  totaled $8.0  million,  resulting in an
effective  tax rate of 43.0%,  compared to an income tax benefit of $4.9 million
for the like  quarter of a year ago.  The  year-ago  tax  benefit was due to the
pre-tax loss  attributable to the one-time SAIF  assessment.  For the first nine
months of 1997,  the effective tax rate was 43.0%  compared to 43.2% in the same
period of 1996.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     Total loans and mortgage-backed securities,  including those held for sale,
decreased $104.2 million during the third quarter to a total of $5.3 billion, or
91.1% of assets,  at September  30, 1997.  This decrease  primarily  reflected a
decline of $115.7  million in the  residential  one-to-four  unit loan portfolio
held for  investment  due to the  sale of  $290.5  million  of  adjustable  rate
mortgages tied to the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")  Eleventh District Cost of
Funds Index  ("COFI").  The sale was completed as part of a strategy to increase
the loan  portfolio  yield by  changing  the loan mix and to manage  the  Bank's
regulatory  capital  position.  In addition  to the  decline in the  residential
one-to-four unit loan portfolio held for investment,  the combined  multi-family
and commercial real estate  portfolios  declined $20.6 million.  These decreases
were  partially  offset by increases of $37.6  million in  automobile  loans and
$11.7 million in the construction loan portfolio.

and loans originated for sale.

(1)  For the three months ended  September  30, 1997,  June 30, 1997,  March 31,
     1997, and December 31, 1996, $6.7 million, $17.3 million, $4.9 million, and
     $0.2  million,  respectively,  of  loans  purchased  through  correspondent
     lending  relationships  are  included.  
(2)  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.
(3)  For the three months ended  September  30,  1997,  and June 30, 1997,  $0.4
     million,  and  $1.0  million,  respectively,  of  loans  purchased  through
     correspondent lending relationships are included.

     Originations of one-to-four unit  residential  loans totaled $464.0 million
in the third  quarter of 1997,  of which $389.3  million were for  portfolio and
$74.7 million were for sale. This was 35.1% below the $714.9 million  originated
in the  second  quarter  of 1997,  but  18.2%  higher  than the  $392.5  million
originated in the year-ago quarter.  Of the current quarter total, $79.5 million
represented  originations  of  subprime  credits  ("A-," "B" and "C") as part of
Downey's  strategy  to enhance  the  portfolio's  net yield.  During the current
quarter, 49% of Downey's residential  one-to-four unit originations  represented
refinancings of existing loans (existing  Downey loans were 3%). This is up from
39%  (existing  Downey loans were 3%) during the  previous  quarter and from 36%
(existing  Downey loans were 5%) in the year-ago third  quarter.  In addition to
single  family  loans,  $120.2  million of other  loans were  originated  in the
quarter  including  $70.8  million  of  automobile   loans,   $26.2  million  of
construction loans and $13.3 million of land loans.

     During the current  quarter,  loan  originations  for investment  consisted
primarily  of ARMs tied to 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, 1997, $2.4 billion of the ARMs in
Downey's loan  portfolio  were subject to negative  amortization  of which $23.8
million  represented  the amount of negative  amortization  included in the 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. Sales of loans and mortgage-backed  securities  originated by Downey were
$362.1 million for the third quarter of 1997 of which $290.5 million represented
the  previously  mentioned  sale of COFI ARMs from  loans  held for  investment,
compared to $87.2  million in the  previous  quarter  and $25.1  million for the
third  quarter  of 1996.  All  were  secured  by  residential  one-to-four  unit
property.

     At September 30, 1997,  Downey had  commitments to fund loans  amounting to
$206.6  million,  undrawn lines of credit of $69.0 million,  loans in process of
$59.4 million and letters of credit of $0.1 million. 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,  1997,  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, 1997,  reflect an unrealized  gain of $0.4  million.  The
current  quarter-end  unrealized  gain,  less the  associated tax effect of $0.2
million, is reflected within a separate component of stockholders'  equity until
realized.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     The following  table sets forth the repricing  frequency of Downey's  major
asset and  liability  categories  as of September  30, 1997,  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  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.

     The six-month gap at September 30, 1997, was a positive 19.85% (i.e.,  more
interest-earning   assets  reprice  within  six  months  than   interest-bearing
liabilities).  This  compares to a positive  six-month gap of 19.07% at June 30,
1997,  16.71% at December 31, 1996,  and 17.06% at September 30, 1996.  Downey's
strategy of emphasizing the  origination of adjustable rate mortgages  continues
to be pursued. For the twelve months ended September 30, 1997, Downey originated
and  purchased  for  investment  $2.1  billion  of  adjustable  rate  loans  and
mortgage-backed  securities which represented approximately 97% of all loans and
mortgage-backed  securities  originated and purchased for investment  during the
period.

     At September  30, 1997,  98% of Downey's  interest-earning  assets  mature,
reprice or are  estimated to prepay  within five years,  up slightly from 97% at
December 31, 1996, and unchanged from September 30, 1996. At September 30, 1997,
loans and mortgage-backed  securities with adjustable interest rates represented
88% of Downey's  loans and  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolios.  During the
third quarter of 1997, Downey continued to offer residential fixed rate



                                       17
<PAGE>


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, 1997,  $5.1  billion or 94% of the total loan  portfolio
(including  mortgage-backed  securities)  consisted  of  adjustable  rate loans,
construction loans and loans with a due date of five years or less,  compared to
$5.2 billion or 94%, at June 30, 1997, $4.5 billion or 94% at December 31, 1996,
and $4.3 billion or 94% at September 30, 1996.

     The following  table sets forth on a  consolidated  basis the interest rate
spread on Downey's  interest-earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities as
of the dates indicated.

ASSET QUALITY

Non-Performing Assets

     Non-performing  assets declined during the quarter by $0.2 million to $55.7
million  at  September  30,  1997,  or 0.95% of total  assets.  All of  Downey's
non-performing assets at September 30, 1997, were located in California with the
exception of one property  acquired in  settlement of a loan located in Arizona.
Non-performing assets at quarter end include non-accrual loans aggregating $18.0
million which were not contractually  past due, but were deemed  non-accrual due
to management's assessment of the borrower's ability to pay.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     The primary  sources of funds  generated in the third  quarter of 1997 were
principal repayments (including prepayments, but excluding Downey refinances) on
loans and  mortgage-backed  securities  of  $296.3  million,  proceeds  from the
previously  mentioned sale of COFI ARMs from the investment  portfolio of $291.7
million and net increases in deposits of $151.7 million.

     These funds were used  primarily to originate  loans held for investment of
$488.8  million (net of Downey  refinances of $8.7 million) and for repayment of
various borrowings of $198.6 million.

     At September 30, 1997, the Bank's ratio of regulatory  liquidity was 5.04%,
compared to 5.26% at December 31, 1996,  and 5.12% at  September  30, 1996.  The
ratio remains above the regulatory minimum of 5%.

     Stockholders' equity totaled $417.7 million at September 30, 1997, compared
to $391.6  million at December 31,  1996,  and $383.6  million at September  30,
1996.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

     The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank's  stockholder's equity
to federal  regulatory  capital as of September 30, 1997.  The core and tangible
capital  ratios were 6.40% and the  risk-based  capital  ratio was  12.30%.  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.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES

     The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued  Statement of
Accounting  Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128") and "Disclosure
of  Information  about Capital  Structure"  ("SFAS 129") in February  1997,  and
issued  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" ("SFAS 130") and  "Disclosures  about
Segments of an  Enterprise  and Related  Information"  ("SFAS 131") in September
1997.

SFAS 128 - Earnings Per Share

     SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share ("EPS") as previously  prescribed by Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion
No. 15,  "Earnings per Share." SFAS 128 replaces  primary EPS with basic EPS and
fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes  dilution and is computed
by dividing  income  available to common  stockholders  by the weighted  average
number of common  shares  outstanding  for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the
potential  dilution that could occur if  securities or other  contracts to issue
common  stock were  exercised or  converted  into common stock or resulted  from
issuance of common  stock that then shared in earnings.  SFAS 128 also  requires
dual  presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income  statement
and a  reconciliation  of  the  numerator  and  denominator  of  the  basic  EPS
computation  to the numerator and  denominator  of the diluted EPS  computation.
SFAS 128 is effective for financial  statements  issued for periods ending after
December 15,  1997,  and earlier  application  is not  permitted.  If Downey had
adopted SFAS 128 as of January 1, 1997,  proforma basic EPS and proforma diluted
EPS would have been $1.17 and $1.16,  respectively  for the nine  months  ending
September 30, 1997.

SFAS 129 - Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure

     SFAS  129  consolidates   existing   reporting   standards  for  disclosing
information  about an  entity's  capital  structure.  SFAS  129 also  supersedes
specific requirements found in previously issued accounting statements. SFAS 129
must be adopted for financial  statements  for periods ending after December 15,
1997.



                                       23

SFAS 130 - Reporting Comprehensive Income

     SFAS 130 establishes  standards for reporting and display of  comprehensive
income and its components (revenues,  expenses,  gains and losses) in a full set
of general-purpose  financial statements.  SFAS 130 requires that all items that
are  required to be  recognized  under  accounting  standards as  components  of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial  statements.  SFAS 130 does not require a
specific  format for that  financial  statement  but requires that an enterprise
display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the period in that
financial statement.

     SFAS  130  requires  that  an  enterprise   (a)  classify  items  of  other
comprehensive  income by their nature in a financial  statement  and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other  comprehensive  income separately from retained
earnings and additional  paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position.

     SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 1997.
Reclassification  of  financial  statements  for earlier  periods  provided  for
comparative purposes is required.

SFAS 131 - Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

     SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises
report information about operating  segments in annual financial  statements and
requires that those  enterprises  report  selected  information  about operating
segments  in  interim  financial   reports  issued  to  shareholders.   It  also
establishes  standards  for related  disclosures  about  products and  services,
geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131 supersedes FASB Statement No. 14,
"Financial  Reporting  for Segments of a Business  Enterprise,"  but retains the
requirement  to  report  information  about  major  customers.  It  amends  FASB
Statement No. 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned  Subsidiaries," to remove
the special disclosure requirements for previously unconsolidated subsidiaries.

     SFAS 131 requires that a public business  enterprise  report  financial and
descriptive  information  about its  reportable  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.  Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the
basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding
how to allocate resources to segments.

     SFAS 131 requires  that a public  business  enterprise  report a measure of
segment profit or loss,  certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment
assets. It requires  reconciliations  of total segment  revenues,  total segment
profit or loss, total segment assets,  and other amounts  disclosed for segments
to  corresponding   amounts  in  the  enterprise's   general-purpose   financial
statements.  It requires that all public business enterprises report information
about the revenues derived from the enterprise's products or services (or groups
of similar  products and services),  about the countries in which the enterprise
earns revenues and holds assets, and about major customers regardless of whether
that information is used in making operating decisions.  However,  SFAS 131 does
not  require  an  enterprise  to report  information  that is not  prepared  for
internal use if reporting it would be impracticable.

     SFAS 131 also requires that a public business enterprise report descriptive
information  about the way that the  operating  segments  were  determined,  the
products and services provided by the operating  segments,  differences  between
the  measurements  used in reporting  segment  information and those used in the
enterprise's   general-purpose   financial   statements,   and  changes  in  the
measurement of segment amounts from period to period.

     SFAS 131 is effective for financial  statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application,  comparative  information
for  earlier  years is to be  restated.  This  Statement  need not be applied to
interim  financial  statements  in the  initial  year  of its  application,  but
comparative  information  for interim periods in the initial year of application
is to be reported in financial statements for interim periods in the second year
of application.
