                   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, 1998, December 31, 1997 and
September 30, 1997,  and the results of operations for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, and changes in cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. 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
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, 1997,
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  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations as of December 31, 1997, 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) - SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION

     In September 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").

     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 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.  SFAS 131 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.  To date,  Downey is still examining the impact of SFAS 131 and has
not determined what operating segments will be reported.

NOTE (3) - NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net income per share is calculated on both a basic and diluted basis. Basic
net income per share  excludes  dilution  and is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income per share 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 the issuance of
common stock that then shared in earnings.

NOTE (4) - DERIVATIVES

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133").

     SFAS 133  establishes  accounting  and reporting  standards for  derivative
instruments,   including  certain  derivative   instruments  embedded  in  other
contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities.
It requires that

                                       6
<PAGE>

an entity  recognize  all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities  in the
statement of financial  position and measure those instruments at fair value. If
certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a
hedge of the  exposure  to changes in the fair  value of a  recognized  asset or
liability or an  unrecognized  firm  commitment,  (b) a hedge of the exposure to
variable cash flows of a forecasted  transaction,  or (c) a hedge of the foreign
currency  exposure of a net investment in a foreign  operation,  an unrecognized
firm     commitment,     an    available    for    sale    security,     or    a
foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction.

     Under SFAS 133, an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is required
to establish at the  inception of the hedge the method it will use for assessing
the  effectiveness  of the hedging  derivative and the measurement  approach for
determining  the  ineffective  aspect  of  the  hedge.  Those  methods  must  be
consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk.

     This  statement  is  effective  for all  fiscal  quarters  of fiscal  years
beginning after June 15, 1999.

     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, 1998,  such contracts  amounted to
approximately $393 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.

NOTE (5) - INCOME TAXES

     During the first  quarter of 1998,  the Internal  Revenue  Service  ("IRS")
completed  its review of  Downey's  federal  income tax  returns  for years 1990
through 1995. As a result of that review,  the IRS proposed  additions to tax of
approximately  $20 million.  Of that amount,  Downey has paid  approximately  $5
million for items not  disputed.  The  balance of the  remaining  tax  additions
primarily  relates to the sale and  leaseback  of  computer  equipment  in 1990.
Management  believes  substantial legal authority exists for the positions taken
on the tax returns and intends to vigorously  defend those  positions,  and that
adequate provisions have been provided for the potential exposure.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 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 1998 totaled $12.8 million or $0.45 per
share on a diluted  basis,  up 20.9%  from the $10.6  million or $0.37 per share
earned in the third quarter of 1997.

     The  increase  in net  income  between  third  quarters  reflected  several
factors.  Net interest income increased $5.2 million or 13.9% due to an increase
in the  effective  interest  rate  spread.  An increase of $1.7 million in other
income and  reductions  of $0.6  million in  provision  for loan losses and $0.3
million in costs  associated  with the net operation of real estate  acquired in
settlement of loans also  contributed to the  improvement  in net income.  These
positive factors were partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in general and
administrative expense reflecting higher lending volumes and branch expansion.

     For the nine months ended  September 30, 1998, net income amounted to $45.3
million, or $1.60 per share on a diluted basis, up 45.3% from the $31.2 million,
or $1.11 per share,  earned in the same  period  last year.  In  addition to the
trends  mentioned for the quarter,  net income for the first nine months of 1998
also benefited  from the  settlement of certain loan and real estate  investment
obligations  of a joint  venture  partner  ("settlement").  The  pre-tax  amount
associated   with  the  settlement  was  $8.3  million  of  which  $1.4  million
represented the recovery of a prior loan charge-off  thereby reducing  provision
for loan losses; $4.3 million was recorded as a reduction of loss on real estate
and joint ventures; $1.0 million was recorded in miscellaneous other income; and
$1.6 million was recorded as a partial recovery of legal fees within general and
administrative expense.  Excluding the settlement, net income for the first nine
months of 1998 would have been $40.5  million,  up $9.3  million or 29.8% from a
year ago.

     For the third quarter of 1998,  the return on average  assets was 0.87% and
the return on average equity was 11.01%, bringing the returns for the first nine
months of 1998 to 1.03%  and  13.42%,  respectively.  Excluding  the  previously
mentioned  settlement,  the returns on average assets and average equity for the
first nine months would have been 0.92% and 12.03%, respectively.

     Assets totaled $5.9 billion at September 30, 1998, virtually unchanged from
both a year ago and year-end 1997. The low interest rate environment  during the
first nine months of 1998 has generated  increased  prepayments  of  residential
loans as customers seek low, fixed rate mortgages. As a result, the portfolio of
loans held for  investment  and  borrowings  declined,  which was only partially
offset by a temporary increase in loans held for sale.

     Single  family loan  originations  totaled a record  $961.6  million in the
third quarter of 1998,  more than double the $464.0 million in the third quarter
of 1997. Of the current quarter total, $571.1 million  represented  originations
of loans for sale and $101.6 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,  $102.3  million of
other  loans  were  originated  in  the  quarter   including  $40.9  million  of
construction and land loans and $40.2 million of automobile loans.

     Non-performing  assets  declined  $4.2 million  during the quarter to $44.6
million or 0.75% of total assets. The decline was in the single family category.

     Deposits  totaled $5.2 billion at September  30, 1998,  up 8.3% from a year
ago and $309.4 million above year-end 1997.  Since the growth in deposits during
the first nine  months of 1998 was not needed to fund asset  growth,  borrowings
were  reduced by $273.6  million  and totaled  $210.1  million at the end of the
current  quarter.  During the  quarter,  one new  in-store  branch  was  opened,
bringing total branches at quarter end to 91 of which 28 are in-store.

                                       8

     At September 30, 1998, Downey's primary subsidiary, Downey Savings and Loan
Association,  F.A. (the "Bank"),  had core and tangible  capital ratios of 7.11%
and a risk-based  capital ratio of 13.33%.  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 $42.8 million in the third quarter of 1998, up
$5.2 million or 13.9% from the same period last year. The improvement  reflected
an increase in the effective  interest rate spread,  as average  earning  assets
declined by 2.2% and averaged $5.6 billion.  The effective  interest rate spread
averaged 3.05% in the current  quarter,  up from 2.62% in the year-ago  quarter,
reflecting  an increase in the yield on earning  assets and a decline in funding
costs.  For the first nine months of 1998,  net interest  income  totaled $128.6
million, up $15.6 million or 13.9% 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 costs,  expressed both in dollars and 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 are
computed  using the average of each month's  daily  average  balance  during the
period indicated.

     Changes in Downey's net  interest  income are a function of both changes in
rates and  changes in volumes of  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing
liabilities.  The following table sets forth  information  regarding  changes in
interest  income and  expense  for Downey for the  periods  indicated.  For each
category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing  liability,  information
is provided on changes attributable to: (i) changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by  comparative  period rate);  (ii) changes in rate (changes in rate
multiplied by  comparative  period  volume);  and (iii)  changes in  rate-volume
(changes in rate  multiplied by changes in volume).  Interest-earning  asset and
interest-bearing  liability balances used in the calculations  represent average
balances computed using the average of each month's daily average balance during
the period indicated.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     Provision  for loan losses was $1.0  million in the current  quarter,  down
from $1.6  million in the year-ago  quarter.  For the first nine months of 1998,
provision for loan losses totaled $2.7 million,  compared to $5.6 million in the
year-ago  period.  Included in the  nine-month  1998  amount was a $1.4  million
reduction  due to the  recovery  of a prior loan  charge-off  as a result of the
previously  mentioned  settlement.  For information  regarding the allowance for
loan losses, see "Asset Quality - Valuation Allowances" on page 24.

OTHER INCOME

     Total other income was $9.7 million in the third  quarter of 1998,  up $1.7
million from the year-ago quarter. The increase between third quarters reflected
increases of $1.2 million each in loan and deposit  related fees and income from
real  estate  held for  investment,  and $0.2  million  in net gains on sales of
loans. Partially offsetting those increases were declines in loan servicing fees
and the other  category  of other  income.  Loan  servicing  fees in the current
quarter  reflected a loss of $0.4 million  compared to income of $0.3 million in
the  year-ago  period.  The current  quarter loss  resulted  from a $0.7 million
addition to the valuation  allowance for mortgage servicing rights due to higher
that expected  prepayments  from the current low interest rate  environment.  At
quarter  end,  capitalized  mortgage  servicing  rights,  net of  the  valuation
allowance,  totaled $4.3 million. The $0.3 million decline in the other category
primarily reflects a loss in the current quarter from the early termination of a
lease by a lessee in Downey's corporate  building.  For the first nine months of
1998,  total other income was $36.5  million,  up $12.2 million from a year ago,
and included $5.3 million from the previously mentioned settlement.

OPERATING EXPENSE

     Operating  expense  totaled $28.9 million in the current  quarter,  up $3.5
million or 13.6%  from the third  quarter of 1997.  General  and  administrative
expense increased $3.8 million or 15.4% and reflected higher lending volumes and
branch  expansion.  The  increase  in general  and  administrative  expense  was
partially  offset  by a $0.3  million  decline  in  costs  associated  with  the
operation of real estate  acquired in  settlement  of loans.  For the first nine
months of 1998,  operating  expenses  totaled $82.8 million after a reduction of
$1.6 million to legal fees from the previously mentioned settlement, compared to
$76.9 million in the same period of 1997.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes for the third quarter  totaled $9.8  million,  resulting in an
effective  tax rate of 43.3%,  compared  to $8.0  million and 43.0% for the like
quarter of a year ago. For the first nine months of 1998, the effective tax rate
was 43.1% compared to 43.0% in the same period of 1997. For further  information
regarding income taxes, see "Note (5) - Income Taxes" on page 7.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     Total loans and mortgage-backed securities,  including those held for sale,
increased $59.6 million during the third quarter to a total of $5.4 billion,  or
91.2% of assets,  at  September  30,  1998.  Although  customer  preference  for
adjustable  rate  mortgages  ("ARMs")  has  been  significantly   reduced,   the
origination  of  adjustable  rate loans almost  equaled  prepayments  during the
quarter.  This enabled the single  family loan  portfolio to remain  essentially
unchanged,  while the portfolio of residential  one-to-four  unit loans held for
sale  increased by $60.7  million as fixed rate loans were  originated  for sale
into the secondary market.

     The following  table sets forth  originations  of loans held for investment
and loans originated for sale.

(1)  For the three months ended June 30, 1998, March 31, 1998, December 31, 1997

     lending relationships were included.

     Originations of one-to-four unit residential  loans totaled a record $961.6
million in the third quarter of 1998, of which $390.5 million were for portfolio
and $571.1 million were for sale.  This was above the previous record set in the
second quarter of 1998,  and more than double the $464.0  million  originated in
the year-ago quarter.  Of the current quarter total,  $101.6 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,  68%
of Downey's residential one-to-four unit originations  represented  refinancings
of  existing  loans  (existing  Downey  loans  were 3%).  This is similar to the
previous quarter and up from 49% (existing Downey loans were 3%) in the year-ago
third quarter. In addition to single family loans, $102.3 million of other loans
were originated in the quarter  including $40.9 million of construction and land
loans, and $40.2 million of automobile loans.

     During the current  quarter,  loan  originations  for investment  consisted
primarily of ARMs tied to Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Eleventh District Cost
of Funds Index, 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 allowed,  expressed as a
percentage  of  principal  plus the amount added  relative to the original  loan
amount.  That limit has been 110%,  but was increased to 125% during the current
quarter.  At  September  30,  1998,  $2.8  billion of the ARMs in Downey's  loan
portfolio  were  subject  to  negative   amortization  of  which  $41.4  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
$507.5 million for the third quarter of 1998,  compared to $553.9 million in the
previous  quarter  and  $362.1  million  for the third  quarter of 1997 of which
$290.5 million represented the sale of COFI ARMs from loans held for investment.
All were secured by residential  one-to-four  unit property and at September 30,
1998, loans held for sale totaled $272.9 million.

     At September 30, 1998,  Downey had  commitments to fund loans  amounting to
$584.8  million  of which  $314.0  million  were  fixed  rate  one-to-four  unit
residential  loans being originated for sale in the secondary  market,  loans in
process of $78.5  million,  undrawn lines of credit of $71.9 million and letters
of credit of $0.9  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,  1998,  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, 1998,  reflect an unrealized  gain of $1.0  million.  The
current  quarter-end  unrealized  gain,  less the  associated tax effect of $0.3
million, is reflected within a separate component of other comprehensive  income
until realized.

INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE AND JOINT VENTURES

     Downey's  investment  in real estate and joint  ventures  amounted to $47.9
million at September  30, 1998,  compared to $41.4 million at December 31, 1997,
and $40.9 million at September 30, 1997.

     The following table is a summary of the activity of Downey's  allowance for
real estate held for  investment  for the periods  indicated.  The $1.3  million
charge-off  in the current  quarter  resulted from the sale of land for which an
allowance was provided in prior periods.

BORROWINGS

     During the 1998 third quarter, borrowings increased $54.5 million to $210.1
million,  but remain well below the  year-ago  level of $599.0  million.  Downey
terminated  its  commercial  paper program which was credit  enhanced by an FHLB
letter  of  credit  during  the  current  quarter  as it  was  no  longer  price
competitive to alternative  borrowing  sources.  The following  table sets forth

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK

     Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse  changes in market  prices and
interest rates. Downey's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk in
its lending and deposit taking activities. This interest rate risk occurs to the
degree that interest-bearing  liabilities reprice or mature more rapidly or on a
different basis than  interest-earning  assets.  Since Downey's  earnings depend
primarily  on its net  interest  income,  which is the  difference  between  the
interest and dividends earned on  interest-earning  assets and the interest paid
on interest-bearing liabilities, a principal objective of

                                       19
<PAGE>

Downey is to  actively  monitor  and  manage the  effects of adverse  changes in
interest rates on net interest income while maintaining asset quality. There has
been no significant change in market risk since December 31, 1997.

     The following  table sets forth the repricing  frequency of Downey's  major
asset and  liability  categories  as of September  30, 1998,  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, 1998, was a positive 19.11% (i.e.,  more
interest-earning   assets  reprice  within  six  months  than   interest-bearing
liabilities).  This  compares to a positive  six-month gap of 24.82% at December
31, 1997, and 19.85% at September 30, 1997. Downey's strategy of emphasizing the
origination of adjustable rate mortgages for portfolio  continues to be pursued.
For the twelve months ended September 30, 1998,  Downey originated and purchased
for  investment  $1.5  billion  of  adjustable  rate  loans and  mortgage-backed
securities which represented  approximately 93% of all loans and mortgage-backed
securities originated and purchased for investment during the period.

     At September  30, 1998,  99% of Downey's  interest-earning  assets  mature,
reprice or are estimated to prepay within five years, essentially unchanged from
December  31,  1997,  and  a  year  ago.  At  September  30,  1998,   loans  and
mortgage-backed  securities  with adjustable  interest rates  represented 83% of
Downey's  loans and  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolios.  During  the third
quarter of 1998,  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, 1998,  $5.0  billion or 91% 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
$4.7 billion or 94% at December  31, 1997,  and $5.1 billion or 94% at September
30, 1997.

     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.

September 30, 1998, the one-to-four  unit  residential ARM portfolio,  including
mortgage-backed securities, totaled $4.3 billion with a weighted average rate of
7.56%,  compared  to $4.5  billion  with a  weighted  average  rate of  7.58% at

ASSET QUALITY

Non-Performing Assets

     Non-performing  assets declined during the quarter by $4.2 million to $44.6
million at September 30, 1998, or 0.75% of total assets.  The decline was in the
single family category. Non-performing assets at quarter end include non-accrual
loans aggregating $16.9 million which were not contractually  past due, but were
deemed  non-accrual due to management's  assessment of the borrower's ability to
pay.

     At  September  30,  1998,  the  recorded  investment  in  loans  for  which
impairment  has been  recognized  totaled  $13.5  million  (all of which were on
non-accrual  status).  The total  allowance for possible  losses related to such
loans  was $1.3  million.  During  the third  quarter  of 1998,  total  interest
recognized on the impaired loan  portfolio,  on a cash basis,  was $0.5 million.
For the first nine months of 1998, such income totaled $1.4 million.

Delinquent Loans

     During the 1998 third quarter, total delinquencies declined $2.5 million or
6.1%.  The decrease  occurred  primarily in the  residential  one-to-four  units
category  which declined $3.7 million.  That decline was partially  offset by an
increase  in  automobile  loans  of  $1.0  million.  As a  percentage  of  loans
outstanding,  delinquencies  were  0.71% at the end of the 1998  third  quarter,
compared to 0.79% at year-end 1997 and 0.85% a year ago.

Valuation Allowances

     Allowances for losses on all assets  (including  loans) were $40.6 million,
$54.8 million and $53.9 million,  at September 30, 1998,  December 31, 1997, and
September  30, 1997,  respectively.  For  information  on  valuation  allowances
associated  with real estate and joint venture loans,  see  "Investments in Real
Estate and Joint Ventures" on page 18.

     The total allowance for possible loan losses was $31.4 million at September
30, 1998,  substantially  unchanged  from recent  quarter ends.  Included in the
current  quarter-end total allowance was $31.1 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
capital,  up to a maximum  of 1.25% of  risk-weighted  assets.  Net  charge-offs
totaled $1.3 million in the 1998 third quarter,  compared to $1.8 million in the
year-ago  quarter.  Included in the current  quarter net  charge-offs  were $0.1
million  associated with  one-to-four  unit  residential  loans and $1.2 million
associated with automobile loans.

     The following table is a summary of the activity of Downey's  allowance for
loan losses for the periods indicated.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     The primary  sources of funds  generated in the third  quarter of 1998 were
principal repayments (including prepayments, but excluding Downey refinances) on
loans and mortgage-backed  securities held for investment and available for sale
of $484.4 million and a net increase in borrowings of $54.5 million.

     These funds were used  primarily to originate  loans held for investment of
$478.9  million (net of Downey  refinances of $10.2 million) and to fund the net
increase of $60.7 million of loans held for sale.

     The minimum liquidity ratio set by the regulators was reduced in the fourth
quarter  of 1997 from 5% to 4%. At  September  30,  1998,  the  Bank's  ratio of
regulatory  liquidity was 4.0%,  compared to 4.8% at December 31, 1997, and 5.0%
at September 30, 1997.

     Stockholders' equity totaled $470.8 million at September 30, 1998, compared
to $430.3  million at December 31,  1997,  and $417.7  million at September  30,
1997.

YEAR 2000

Risks of the Year 2000 Issue

     The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs being written using
two digits rather than four digits to represent  the calendar  year (e.g.,  "98"
for "1998"). Software so developed, and not corrected,  could produce inaccurate
or  unpredictable  results or system failures  commencing  January 1, 2000, when
dates  present a lower two digit year  number  than dates in the prior  century.
Such  occurrences  may have a  material  adverse  effect on  Downey's  financial
condition, results of operation, business or business prospects, as Downey, like
most financial  organizations,  is significantly subject to the potential impact
of the Year 2000 issue due to the  nature of  financial  information.  Potential
impacts  to  Downey  may  arise  from  software,  computer  hardware,  and other
equipment both within  Downey's direct control and outside  Downey's  ownership,
yet with which Downey  electronically  or  operationally  interfaces.  Financial
institution  regulators  have  intensively  focused  upon Year  2000  exposures,
issuing guidance concerning the  responsibilities of management and the board of
directors.  Year 2000  testing and  certification  is being  addressed  as a key
safety and soundness issue in conjunction  with regulatory  exams and the Office
of Thrift  Supervision  has authority to bring  enforcement  actions against any
institution under its supervision  which it believes is not properly  addressing
Year 2000 issues.

State of Readiness

     Downey has established a four-phase process to address the Year 2000 issue.
In  addition,  Downey's  Board of Directors  oversees  the Year 2000  compliance
project's progress through monthly status reports and quarterly reviews with the
Year 2000 project manager.

     As part of the first phase,  which is now  completed,  Downey  completed an
inventory of all data systems to  determine  which are most  critical to support
customer  transaction  processing and provide customer services.  This inventory
not only included in-house systems, but those provided by third party vendors as
well. Systems were prioritized

                                       26
<PAGE>

as being mission  critical,  high risk,  moderate  risk or low risk,  from which
modification plans were developed which place priority emphasis on those systems
requiring  change and  classified  mission  critical  or high risk.  Third party
vendors were contacted during this phase to determine their process and timeline
in correcting any Year 2000  compliance  issues.  In addition,  commercial  loan
borrowers  of Downey  were  also  contacted  to  determine  the  extent of their
preparations  for Year 2000 and any potential impact Year 2000 may have on their
businesses and ability to repay loan obligations to Downey.  Commercial  lending
does not  represent a  significant  portion of Downey's  loan  portfolio  (i.e.,
approximately  0.3%);  therefore,  Downey believes the Year 2000 preparedness of
its commercial loan borrowers does not pose a significant risk.

     Phase  two  of  the  process  consists  of  making  appropriate  Year  2000
programming changes to Downey's in-house systems,  while phase three consists of
acceptance  testing and sign-off of both Downey's  in-house and vendor  provided
systems. The fourth and final phase of the Year 2000 compliance project includes
installation  of the system  modifications  into Downey's daily  operation.  The
fourth phase is scheduled  to occur once a system has been  successfully  tested
and determined to be Year 2000 compliant.

     In addition to phase one,  phase two has been completed and phase three has
begun with respect to Downey's  in-house  mainframe  system,  which performs all
significant  loan,  deposit  and  general  ledger  accounting  processes.  It is
expected  that  acceptance  testing of the  in-house  mainframe  system  will be
completed  by year-end  1998,  with  installation  completed by the end of first
quarter 1999.

     For Downey developed  PC-based systems  classified  mission  critical,  all
programming  changes and acceptance  testing have been completed.  Completion of
programming  and  acceptance  testing  of all other  Downey  developed  PC-based
systems is expected to be completed by the end of first  quarter 1999, as is the
installation of Year 2000 modifications.

     The timing of Year 2000  acceptance  testing and  installation of all third
party vendor  changes is dependent  upon when such systems  become  available to
Downey.  Downey has in place a process to monitor third party vendor progress in
making required Year 2000 corrections and, when completed,  requires third party
vendors to represent that their systems are Year 2000  compliant.  Although such
vendor representations are requested, Downey does not intend to rely solely upon
them.  Rather,  Downey  intends to test such vendor  programs or review  testing
conducted by others for Year 2000 compliance.

     In addition to the  computer  systems  utilized by Downey,  Downey has also
inventoried  other  essential  services that may be impacted by Year 2000 issues
such as credit bureau information,  telecommunications and utilities.  Downey is
monitoring such essential  service providers to determine their progress and how
they are addressing Year 2000 issues. To date, no information  exists to suggest
such essential services will not be Year 2000 compliant.

Costs to Address the Year 2000 Issue

     Currently Downey estimates that Year 2000 project costs will approximate $6
million.  This cost is in addition to existing  personnel who are working on the
project  and  includes  estimates  for  hardware  and  software   renovation  or
replacement,  as well as  additions to existing  staff who will be  specifically
devoted  to the  project.  Approximately  50% of the  cost  represents  costs to
migrate to a new personal  computer  environment  and to replace  certain  older
automated teller machines, both of which Downey might otherwise have implemented
/ replaced during the period  notwithstanding the Year 2000 issue. As such, that
portion  of Year  2000  costs  will be  amortized  over the  useful  life of the
equipment.  Of the estimated total expense,  approximately $0.9 million has been
incurred  to-date,  $0.1 million in 1997 and $0.8 million  during the first nine
months of 1998.  The table below  summarizes  by year the  estimated  amount and
anticipated timing of the planned Year 2000 expense.

===============================================================================
</TABLE>

     As Downey  progresses in addressing  the Year 2000  compliance  project and
additional  information  becomes available,  estimates of costs could change. At
this time, no significant  data system projects have been delayed as a result of
Downey's Year 2000 compliance effort.

Contingency Plans

     Downey  believes its Year 2000  compliance  process  should enable it to be
successful  in modifying  its  computer  systems to be Year 2000  compliant.  As
previously  stated,  acceptance  testing and  sign-off has begun with respect to
Downey's in-house  mainframe system which performs all significant loan, deposit
and general  ledger  accounting  processes.  Acceptance  testing and sign-off is
expected to be completed by year-end 1998,  with  installation  completed by the
end  of  first  quarter  1999.  In  addition  to  Year  2000  compliance  system
modification  plans,  Downey has also developed  contingency plans for all other
systems  classified as mission critical and high risk. These  contingency  plans
provide  timetables to pursue various  alternatives  based upon the failure of a
system to be adequately  modified and / or sufficiently  tested and validated to
ensure Year 2000 compliance.  However, there can be no assurance that either the
compliance  process or  contingency  plans will  avoid  partial or total  system
interruptions  or the costs  necessary to update hardware and software would not
have a material  adverse effect upon Downey's  financial  condition,  results of
operation, business or business prospects.
