                   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 June 30, 1998, December 31, 1997 and June
30,  1997,  and the results of  operations  for the three  months and six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, and changes in cash flows for the six months ended
June 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 an entity  recognize  all  derivatives  as  either  assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those




                                       6
<PAGE>



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 June 30,  1998,  such  contracts  amounted  to
approximately $217 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.




                                       7
<PAGE>



           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 second  quarter of 1998 totaled  $15.0  million or $0.53
per share on a diluted basis,  up 80.4% from the $8.3 million or $0.30 per share
earned in the second  quarter of 1997.  For the six months  ended June 30, 1998,
net income  amounted  to $32.6  million,  or $1.15 per share,  up 57.7% from the
$20.6 million, or $0.74 per share, earned in the same period of last year.

     As in the first  quarter,  second  quarter  net income  benefited  from the
settlement  of certain loan and real estate  investment  obligations  of a joint
venture partner  ("settlement").  The second quarter pre-tax amount totaled $3.2
million of which $1.7 million was recorded as a reduction of loss on real estate
and joint ventures; $0.2 million was recorded in miscellaneous other income; and
$1.3 million was recorded as a partial recovery of legal fees within general and
administrative  expense.  Excluding the  settlement,  second  quarter net income
would have been $13.2 million, up $4.9 million or 58.4% from a year ago.

     For the first six months, 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 six months of 1998 would have
been $27.8 million, up $7.2 million or 34.7% from a year ago.

     The  increase  in  net  income  between  second  quarters,   excluding  the
previously mentioned settlement,  reflected several factors. Net interest income
increased $5.9 million or 15.8% due to a higher  effective  interest rate spread
and a 3.4% increase in average  earning  assets.  An increase of $4.7 million in
adjusted total other income and  reductions of $0.7 million in costs  associated
with the net  operation of real estate  acquired in settlement of loans and $0.4
million in provision for loan losses also  contributed to the improvement of net
income.  The  increase in adjusted  total other  income  reflected  increases in
income from real estate held for  investment,  net gains on sales of loans,  and
loan and deposit related fees. Those positive factors were partially offset by a
$3.0 million  increase in adjusted general and  administrative  costs reflecting
higher lending volumes and branch expansion.

     For the second  quarter of 1998, the return on average assets was 1.02% and
the return on average equity was 13.29%,  bringing the returns for the first six
months of 1998 to 1.11%  and  14.68%,  respectively.  Excluding  the  previously
mentioned  settlement,  the returns on average  assets and average  equity would
have been 0.90% and 11.67%,  respectively,  in the second  quarter and 0.95% and
12.54%, respectively, for the first six months.

     Assets  totaled $5.8 billion at June 30, 1998,  down  slightly  from both a
year ago and year-end 1997. The low interest rate  environment  during the first
half 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  declined,  which decline was only  partially  offset by an
increase in  investment  securities  and a temporary  increase in loans held for
sale.  Single family loan  originations  totaled a record $909.2  million in the
second  quarter of 1998 compared to $714.9 in the second quarter of 1997. Of the
current quarter total, $592.9 million represented originations of loans for sale
and $80.9 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,  $88.0 million of other loans were
originated in the quarter  including $46.2 million of automobile loans and $25.9
million of construction and land loans.

     Non-performing  assets  declined  $1.0 million  during the quarter to $48.8
million or 0.84% of total assets.




                                       8
<PAGE>



     Deposits  totaled $5.2  billion at June 30, 1998,  up 11.7% from a year ago
and $301.4 million above year-end 1997.  Since the growth in deposits during the
first six months of 1998 were not needed to fund asset growth,  borrowings  were
reduced by $328.2  million and totaled  $155.6 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 90 of which 27 are in-store.

     At June 30, 1998,  Downey's  primary  subsidiary,  Downey  Savings and Loan
Association,  F.A. (the "Bank"),  had core and tangible  capital ratios of 7.05%
and a risk-based  capital ratio of 13.24%.  These capital  levels are well above

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income totaled $43.2 million in the second quarter of 1998, up
$5.9 million or 15.8% from the same period last year. The improvement  reflected
increases in both the effective interest rate spread and average earning assets.
The effective  interest rate spread  averaged 3.08% in the current  quarter,  up
from  2.75% in the  year-ago  quarter,  while  average  interest-earning  assets
increased  3.4% to $5.6 billion.  For the first six months of 1998, net interest
income totaled $85.8  million,  up $10.4 million or 13.8% 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
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)  change in  rate-volume
(change in rate  multiplied  by change 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 $1.5 million in the current quarter  compared
to $1.9  million  in the  year-ago  quarter.  For the first six  months of 1998,
provision for loan losses totaled $1.7 million,  compared to $4.0 million in the
year-ago  period.  Included  in the  six-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 $11.9 million in the second quarter of 1998, up $6.6
million from the year-ago quarter. The previously mentioned settlement accounted
for $1.9 million of the increase between second quarters,  of which $1.7 million
was  included in income from real estate held for  investment  as a reduction to
the  provision  for losses and $0.2  million was  included in the  miscellaneous
other  income  category.  Also  favorably  impacting  total  other  income  were
increases  of $2.1  million  in net gains on sales of loans and $1.1  million in
loan and deposit related fees. Excluding the settlement, income from real estate
held for investment  increased between second quarters by $1.9 million primarily
due to a gain from the sale of a joint venture project. For the first six months
of 1998, total other income was $26.9 million, up $10.5 million from a year ago,
and included $5.3 million from the previously mentioned settlement.

OPERATING EXPENSE

     Operating  expense  totaled $27.3 million in the current  quarter,  up $1.0
million or 3.8% from the  second  quarter of 1997.  General  and  administrative
expense   increased   $1.7  million  or  6.8%.   Included   within  general  and
administrative  costs in the current  quarter was a $1.3  million  reduction  to
legal fees due to the previously  mentioned  settlement.  Excluding that amount,
general and  administrative  costs would have increased by $3.0 million or 11.9%
primarily  reflecting higher lending volumes and branch expansion.  The increase
in general and  administrative  costs was partially offset by a favorable change
in the  operation of real estate  acquired in  settlement  of loans.  During the
current  quarter,  gains  from the  sale of  single  family  homes  acquired  in
settlement  of loans  offset  operating  costs  resulting  in net income of $0.1
million compared to a net cost of $0.6 million in the year-ago quarter.  For the
first six months of 1998,  operating  expenses  totaled  $53.9  million  after a
reduction  of  $1.6  million  to  legal  fees  from  the  previously   mentioned
settlement, compared to $51.5 million in the same period of 1997.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes for the second quarter totaled $11.4 million,  resulting in an
effective  tax rate of 43.2%,  compared  to $6.2  million and 42.6% for the like
quarter of a year ago. For the first six months of 1998,  the effective tax rate
was  43.0%,  compared  to 43.1%  from  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,  decreased  $71.9  million  during the  second  quarter to a total of $5.3
billion,  or 91.4% of assets, at June 30, 1998. This decrease during the quarter
was affected by the low level of interest  rates which  significantly  increased
customer preference for fixed rate residential loans rather than adjustable rate
mortgages  ("ARMs").  Reflecting these market dynamics,  a greater proportion of
the residential  one-to-four unit loan  originations  during the current quarter
were fixed rate rather than adjustable rate, and prepayment  speeds  experienced
in the  existing  ARM  portfolio  were  higher  than in recent  quarters as more
customers  refinanced their ARMs into fixed rate loans. As a result,  during the
quarter, the portfolio of residential one-to four unit loans held for investment
declined by $70.2  million due to the higher ARM  prepayment  speeds,  while the
portfolio of residential one-to-four unit loans held for sale increased by $37.8
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.

     1997, September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1997 $1.5 million, $2.6 million, $5.6
     million, $6.7 million and $17.3 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. Included also in the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $1.5
     million of purchased loans.
(3)  For the three  months ended June 30, 1998,  March 31, 1998,  September  30,
     1997 and June 30, 1997, $0.2 million,  $0.1 million,  $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 a record $909.2
million  in the  second  quarter  of 1998,  of  which  $316.3  million  were for
portfolio and $592.9  million were for sale.  This was double the $453.0 million
originated in the first quarter of 1998,  and 27% higher than the $714.9 million
originated in the year-ago quarter.  Of the current quarter total, $80.9 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, 67% of Downey's residential  one-to-four unit originations  represented
refinancings  of existing  loans  (existing  Downey loans were 3%). This is down
from 70%  (existing  Downey loans were 5%) during the previous  quarter,  and up
from 39%  (existing  Downey loans were 3%) in the year-ago  second  quarter.  In
addition to single family loans, $88.0 million of other loans were originated in
the quarter  including  $46.2 million of  automobile  loans and $25.9 million of
construction and land loans.

     During the current  quarter,  loan  originations  for investment  consisted
primarily of ARMs tied to the 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,  such
that the principal plus the added amount cannot exceed 110% of the original loan
amount. At June 30, 1998, $2.7 billion of the




                                       14
<PAGE>



ARMs in Downey's loan portfolio were subject to negative  amortization  of which
$37.0 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  originated by Downey were $553.9  million for the second
quarter of 1998,  compared to $118.9  million in the previous  quarter and $87.2
million  for the  second  quarter  of 1997.  All  were  secured  by  residential
one-to-four  unit  property  and at June 30,  1998,  loans held for sale totaled
$212.2 million.

     At June 30, 1998,  Downey had commitments to fund loans amounting to $420.7
million,  of which $228.1 were fixed rate  one-to-four  unit  residential  loans
being  originated  for sale in the secondary  market,  loans in process of $75.5
million,  undrawn lines of credit of $73.4 million and letters of credit of $0.4
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 June 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 June 30, 1998,  reflect an unrealized gain of $0.6 million.  The current
quarter-end  unrealized gain, less the associated tax effect of $0.2 million, is
reflected within a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until
realized.

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 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.




                                       19
<PAGE>




     The following  table sets forth the repricing  frequency of Downey's  major
asset  and  liability  categories  as of June  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 June 30, 1998,  was a positive  20.62%  (i.e.,  more
interest-earning   assets  reprice  within  six  months  than   interest-bearing
liabilities).  This compares to a positive  six-month gap of 25.50% at March 31,
1998,  24.82% at  December  31,  1997,  and  19.07% at June 30,  1997.  Downey's
strategy of emphasizing the  origination of adjustable rate mortgages  continues
to be pursued.  For the twelve months ended June 30, 1998, Downey originated and
purchased   for   investment   $1.5  billion  of   adjustable   rate  loans  and
mortgage-backed  securities which represented approximately 94% of all loans and
mortgage-backed  securities  originated and purchased for investment  during the
period.

     At June 30, 1998, 99% of Downey's  interest-earning  assets mature, reprice
or are estimated to prepay within five years,  unchanged from year-end 1997, and
up from 98% at June  30,  1997.  At June 30,  1998,  loans  and  mortgage-backed
securities with adjustable  interest rates  represented 87% of such  portfolios.
During the second 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  June  30,  1998,  $5.0  billion  or  92% 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,
substantially unchanged from year-end 1997 and a year-ago.

     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.

1998,  7.95% at December 31, 1997, and 7.61% at June 30, 1997. At June 30, 1998,
the  one-to-four  unit  residential  ARM  portfolio,  including  mortgage-backed
securities, totaled $4.3 billion with a weighted average rate of 7.63%, compared
to $4.5 billion with a weighted  average rate of 7.58% at December 31, 1997, and
$4.6 billion with a weighted average rate of 7.22% at June 30, 1997.

ASSET QUALITY

Non-Performing Assets

     Non-performing assets decreased during the quarter by $1.0 million to $48.8
million at June 30, 1998,  or 0.84% of total  assets.  Non-performing  assets at
quarter end include  non-accrual  loans aggregating $17.1 million which were not
contractually  past  due,  but  were  deemed  non-accrual  due  to  management's
assessment of the borrower's ability to pay.

(1)  Allowance  for loan losses does not include the  allowance  for real estate
     and real estate acquired in settlement of loans.

     At June 30, 1998, the recorded investment in loans for which impairment has
been recognized totaled $13.6 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 second  quarter of 1998,  total  interest  recognized on the impaired
loan portfolio,  on a cash basis, was $0.4 million.  For the first six months of
1998, such income totaled $0.9 million.

Delinquent Loans

     During the 1998 second quarter,  total delinquencies  declined $2.0 million
or 4.6%. The decrease  occurred  primarily in the residential  one-to-four units
category  which declined $2.4 million.  That decline was partially  offset by an
increase  in  automobile  loans  of  $0.8  million.  As a  percentage  of  loans
outstanding,  delinquencies  were 0.76% at the end of the 1998  second  quarter,
compared to 0.79% at year-end 1997 and 0.74% a year ago.

Valuation Allowances

     Allowances for losses on all assets  (including  loans) were $42.3 million,
$54.8 million and $54.7 million,  at June 30, 1998,  December 31, 1997, and June
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 $31.7 million at June 30,
1998,  substantially unchanged from recent quarter ends. Included in the current
quarter-end  total  allowance  was  $31.5  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
capital,  up to a maximum  of 1.25% of  risk-weighted  assets.  Net  charge-offs
totaled $1.5 million in the 1998 second quarter, compared to $1.4 million in the
year-ago  quarter.  Included in the current  quarter net  charge-offs  were $0.3
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 second 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 $478.5 million and net increases in deposits of $62.6 million.

     These funds were used  primarily to originate  loans held for investment of
$376.8  million  (net of  Downey  refinances  of  $23.7  million),  fund the net
increase  of $37.8  million  of loans held for sale and repay  borrowings  which
declined by $111.5 million.

     The minimum liquidity ratio set by the regulators was reduced in the fourth
quarter of 1997 from 5% to 4%. At June 30, 1998,  the Bank's ratio of regulatory
liquidity was 4.4%,  compared to 4.8% at December 31, 1997, and 5.1% at June 30,
1997.

     Stockholders'  equity totaled $459.0 million at June 30, 1998,  compared to
$430.3 million at December 31, 1997, and $408.0 million at June 30, 1997.
