                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE (1) - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT 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 March 31, 1999,  December 31, 1998,  and
March 31, 1998, and the results of operations,  comprehensive income and changes
in cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1999, and 1998. 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 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,  comprehensive income
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, 1998,  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
Position and Results of  Operations  as of December  31, 1998,  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) - 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  issuance of
common stock that then shared in earnings.

NOTE (3) - DERIVATIVES

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board 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 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. It is not anticipated  that the financial  impact
of this statement will have a material impact on Downey.

     As part of its secondary marketing activities, Downey utilizes forward sale
and purchase  contracts to hedge the value of loans  originated for sale against
adverse  changes in interest  rates.  At March 31, 1999, such sales and purchase
contracts amounted to approximately $509 million and $54 million,  respectively.
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


                                       6
<PAGE>


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 (4) - 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  that  applicable  federal tax  authorities  related to the
transaction  clearly support Downey's positions and intends to vigorously defend
those  positions.  Management also believes that adequate tax reserves have been
established regarding the transaction.

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

     Certain  statements  under this  caption  may  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 first quarter of 1999 totaled $12.3 million or $0.44 per
share on a diluted  basis.  This  compares to net income in the first quarter of
1998 of $17.6 million or $0.62 per share on a diluted basis.

     The decline in net income  between first  quarters  primarily  reflects two
factors.  First,  year-ago net income  benefited  from the settlement of certain
loan and real estate  investment  obligations of a former joint venture  partner
("settlement").  That settlement  added $2.9 million to net income.  The pre-tax
amount of the settlement was $5.1 million of which $1.4 million  represented the
recovery of a prior loan charge-off  thereby reducing  provision for loan loses;
$2.6  million  was  recorded  as a  reduction  of loss on real  estate and joint
ventures;  $0.8 million was recorded in  miscellaneous  other  income;  and $0.3
million was  recorded as a reduction  to  professional  fees within  general and
administrative   expense.  Also,  negatively  impacting  the  quarter-to-quarter
comparison was a decline in the remaining net income attributable to real estate
investment activities of $3.1 million due to there being no sales of real estate
assets in the current period compared to several sales a year ago which resulted
in pre-tax gains of $5.4 million.

     Excluding  those two  factors,  net  income  would have  increased  by $0.8
million,  up 6.8% from a year ago.  This  adjusted  increase  was  generated  by
Downey's banking  operations and reflects  several factors.  Net interest income
increased $6.3 million or 14.9% due to increases in both average  earning assets
and  the  effective  interest  spread.  In  addition,   the   quarter-to-quarter
improvement  reflected  increases  of $3.1  million  in net gains on the sale of
loans,  $1.3 million in loan and deposit  related fees, and $0.4 million in loan
servicing fees.  These positive  factors were partially offset by a $9.7 million
increase  in  adjusted  general and  administrative  expense and a $0.7  million
increase in the adjusted  provision for loan losses. The increase in general and
administrative  expense was due to significantly higher lending volumes,  branch
expansion and increased expense related to Year 2000 compliance efforts.

     For the first quarter of 1999,  the return on average  assets was 0.78% and
the return on average equity was 10.20%.

     At March 31, 1999,  assets  totaled $6.6 billion,  up $722 million or 12.3%
from a year ago. Single family loan originations totaled a record $1.424 billion
in the first  quarter of 1999,  more than triple the $453 million  originated in
the  first  quarter  of  1998.  Of  the  current  quarter  total,  $647  million
represented  originations  of  loans  for  sale  and  $189  million  represented
originations for portfolio of subprime  credits as part of Downey's  strategy to
enhance the  portfolio's  net yield.  In addition to single family  loans,  $131
million of other loans were  originated in the quarter  including $60 million of
construction and land loans and $50 million of automobile loans.

     Asset growth was primarily  funded with  borrowings,  which  increased $584
million  between first  quarters.  That increase  primarily  occurred during the
fourth  quarter of 1998 when  Downey took  advantage  of the low  interest  rate
environment  and  borrowed  $480  million of  long-term  Federal  Home Loan Bank
("FHLB")  advances.  In addition  to higher  borrowings,  asset  growth was also
funded by an  increase  of $96  million  or 1.9% in  deposits.  At  quarter-end,
deposits totaled $5.2 billion.  During the quarter,  five new in-store  branches
were opened and one  traditional  branch was closed,  bringing total branches at
quarter end to 95 of which 33 are in-store. A year ago, branches totaled 89.

     Non-performing  assets  increased  $3  million  during  the  quarter to $30
million or 0.46% of total assets.

     At March 31, 1999, Downey Savings and Loan  Association,  F.A. (the "Bank")
had core and tangible capital ratios of 6.63% and a risk-based  capital ratio of
12.49%. 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 $49.0 million in the first quarter of 1999, up
$6.3 million or 14.9% from the same period last year.  The  improvement  between
first  quarters  reflected  increases  in both  average  earning  assets and the
effective interest rate spread. Average earning assets increased by $440 million
or 7.8% between  first  quarters to $6.1 billion.  The  effective  interest rate
spread of 3.23% in the  current  quarter was up from both the  year-ago  quarter
level of 3.04% and from the fourth quarter 1998 level of 3.14%.

     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 were 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 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 table on the following page sets forth  information  regarding
changes in interest income and expense for Downey for the periods indicated. For
each  category  of  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities,
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
quarterly  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 $2.4 million in the current quarter  compared
to $0.3 million in the first quarter of 1998. The increase  reflects higher loan
growth during the current  quarter,  as well as the year-ago  quarter included a
$1.4 million  recovery of a prior loan  charge-off as a result of the previously
mentioned  settlement.  For information regarding the allowance for loan losses,
see "Financial Condition - Asset Quality - Valuation Allowances" on page 23.

OTHER INCOME

     Total other  income was $11.3  million in the first  quarter of 1999,  down
$3.6 million or 24.0% from the year-ago  quarter.  The  decrease  between  first
quarters was  primarily in income from real estate and joint  ventures  held for
investment  that declined by $8.4 million.  Included within that category in the
year-ago  first quarter was $5.4 million of gains from the sale of joint venture
investments  compared to none in the current  quarter,  as well as $2.6  million
from the previously  mentioned  settlement which was reflected as a reduction to
the provision for losses.  Partially  offsetting the decline in income from real
estate and joint ventures held for investment  were increases of $3.1 million in
net gains on sales of loans,  $1.3 million in loan and deposit  related fees and
$0.4  million  in loan  servicing  fees.  The  other  category  was  essentially
unchanged  between first quarters even though the year-ago quarter included $0.8
million from the previously mentioned settlement.

     The following  table presents a breakdown of the key components  comprising
income from real estate and joint venture  operations.  The above mentioned $5.4
million joint  venture  gains in the year-ago  quarter are included in equity in
net income from joint ventures.

OPERATING EXPENSE

     Operating expense totaled $36.5 million in the current quarter, compared to
$26.6  million in the first  quarter  of 1998.  The  increase  was due to higher
general and administrative  costs which increased $10.0 million or 38.3%, as the
costs associated with the net operation of real estate acquired in settlement of
loans  declined by $0.2  million.  Included  within  general and  administrative
expense in the  year-ago  quarter was a $0.3 million  reduction to  professional
fees due to the  previously  mentioned  settlement.  The increase in general and
administrative  expense  reflected higher lending volumes,  branch expansion and
expenses related to Year 2000  compliance.  Year 2000 related costs totaled $0.5
million in the current quarter, up from $0.2 million a year ago.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes for the first quarter  totaled $9.1  million,  resulting in an
effective  tax rate of 42.5%,  compared to $13.1  million and 42.8% for the like
quarter of a year ago.  For  further  information  regarding  income  taxes see,

Banking

     Net income from banking  operations  for the first  quarter of 1999 totaled
$12.0  million,  down from $12.7 million in the first quarter of 1998.  Year-ago
net income benefited by $1.4 million from the previously  mentioned  settlement.
The  pre-tax  amount  was $2.5  million of which $1.4  million  represented  the
recovery of a prior loan charge-off  thereby reducing provision for loan losses;
$0.8  million was recorded in other  income;  and $0.3 million was recorded as a
reduction to professional fees within operating  expense.  Excluding from a year
ago the settlement benefit, net income from banking would have increased by $0.8
million or 6.8%.

     The increase in adjusted net income reflected several factors. Net interest
income  increased $6.1 million or 14.3% due to increases in both average earning
assets and the effective interest rate spread. Also contributing to the increase
between first  quarters was an adjusted  $5.5 million  increase in other income.
The increase in adjusted other income reflected  increases in net gains on sales
of loans,  loan and deposit  related fees and loan servicing fees. The favorable
impact of these items was partially offset by adjusted increases of $9.8 million
in operating expense and $0.8 million in provision for loan losses. The increase
in adjusted  operating expense reflected  significantly  higher lending volumes,
branch  expansion and expenses  related  towards  resolving Year 2000 compliance
issues.  The table below sets forth  banking  operational  results and  selected
financial data for the periods indicated.

Real Estate Investment

     Net income from real estate investment  operations  totaled $0.3 million in
the first  quarter  of 1999,  down from $4.9  million in the  year-ago  quarter.
Year-ago net income  benefited by $1.5  million  from the  previously  mentioned
settlement.  The  pre-tax  amount  was $2.6  million  which was  reflected  as a
reduction  of loss  on real  estate  and  joint  ventures  in the  other  income
category.  Excluding  the  settlement,  net income  would have  declined by $3.1
million.  The adjusted decline primarily  reflected lower gains from the sale of
real estate assets.  In the year-ago  first quarter,  gains totaled $5.4 million
from sales  associated  with  residential  and  shopping  center  joint  venture
projects.  Those gains appear in the other income category.  There were no sales
in the first quarter of 1999. The table below sets forth real estate  investment
operational results and selected financial data for the periods indicated.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     Total loans and mortgage-backed securities,  including those held for sale,
increased  $314 million  during the first  quarter to a total of $6.1 billion or
92.5% of assets at March 31, 1999. The increase primarily occurred in the single
family loan portfolio  which  increased $429 million or 9.2% during the quarter.
Of that  increase,  $182 million  represented  fixed rate loans,  while subprime
loans  increased  $168  million.  In addition,  the  adjustable  rate  portfolio
increased by $79 million,  the first  increase in over a year. The single family
loan portfolio  increase was partially offset by a $137 million decline in loans
held for sale.

     The following table sets forth loans originated  (including  purchases) for
investment and for sale.

(1) One-to-four unit residential loans, primarily fixed.
</FN>
</TABLE>

     Originations of one-to-four unit  residential  loans totaled $1.424 billion
in the first  quarter of 1999, of which $777 million were for portfolio and $647
million were for sale. This was 5% higher than the $1.360 billion  originated in
the fourth quarter of 1998, and more than double the $453 million  originated in
the year-ago  quarter.  Of the current quarter total,  $189 million  represented
originations  of subprime  credits as part of  Downey's  strategy to enhance the
portfolio's net yield. During the current quarter,  76% of Downey's  residential
one-to-four  unit  originations   represented  refinancings  of  existing  loans
(existing Downey loans were 4%). This is down slightly from 77% (existing Downey
loans were 3%) during the 1998 fourth quarter,  but up from 70% (existing Downey
loans were 5%) in the  year-ago  first  quarter.  In addition  to single  family
loans,  $131 million of other loans were originated in the quarter including $60
million of construction and land loans and $50 million of automobile loans.

     During the current  quarter,  loan  originations  for investment  consisted
primarily of adjustable  rate  mortgages  ("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  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% in 1998.  At March 31,  1999,  $3.2
billion  of the  ARMs in  Downey's  loan  portfolio  were  subject  to  negative
amortization,   of  which  $53  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 $777  million  for the first
quarter of 1999,  compared  to $559  million for the  previous  quarter and $119
million  for the  first  quarter  of  1998.  All  were  secured  by  residential
one-to-four  unit  property and at March 31,  1999,  loans held for sale totaled
$310 million.

     At March 31, 1999,  Downey had  commitments to fund loans amounting to $807
million,  of which $419 million  were fixed rate  one-to-four  unit  residential
loans being  originated  for sale in the secondary  market,  loans in process of
$123  million,  undrawn  lines of credit of $77 million,  purchase  loans of $53
million and letters of credit of $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 March
31, 1999, 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 March 31, 1999, reflect an unrealized gain of $0.2 million.  The current
quarter-end  unrealized gain, less the associated tax effect of $0.1 million, is
reflected  within a  separate  component  of other  comprehensive  income  until
realized.

BORROWINGS

     During the 1999 first  quarter,  borrowings  increased $148 million to $851
million,  primarily  reflecting  increases in FHLB  advances.  This  followed an
increase  of $494  million  during the fourth  quarter of 1998 when  Downey took
advantage of obtaining long-term advances from the FHLB at attractive  borrowing
rates.  The  following  table sets forth  information  concerning  Downey's FHLB
advances and other borrowings at the dates indicated.

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, 1998.


                                       18
<PAGE>


     The following  table sets forth the repricing  frequency of Downey's  major
asset  and  liability  categories  as of  March  31,  1999,  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.

     Downey's six-month gap at March 31, 1999, was a positive 19.62% (i.e., more
interest-earning   assets  reprice  within  six  months  than   interest-bearing
liabilities).  This  compares to a positive  six-month gap of 23.84% at December
31, 1998,

and 25.50% at March 31, 1998.  Downey's  strategy of emphasizing the origination
of  adjustable  rate  mortgages  continues to be pursued.  For the twelve months
ended March 31, 1999,  Downey  originated  and  purchased  for  investment  $2.0
billion  of  adjustable  rate  loans  and   mortgage-backed   securities   which
represented  approximately  80%  of all  loans  and  mortgage-backed  securities
originated and purchased for investment during the period.

     At March 31, 1999, 97% of Downey's  interest-earning assets mature, reprice
or are  estimated to prepay  within five years,  down  slightly from 98% at both
December  31,  1998  and  March  31,  1998.   At  March  31,  1999,   loans  and
mortgage-backed  securities  with adjustable  interest rates  represented 79% of
Downey's  loans and  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolios.  During  the first
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  March  31,  1999,  $5.3  billion  or 86% 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
$5.0 billion or 92% and $5.1 billion or 92%, at December 31, 1998, and March 31,
1998, respectively.

     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.

million which were not contractually  past due, but were deemed  non-accrual due
to management's assessment of the borrower's ability to pay.

Valuation Allowances

     Allowances  for losses on all assets were $41 million,  $40 million and $51
million, at March 31, 1999, December 31, 1998, and March 31, 1998, respectively.

     The total  allowance  for possible loan losses was $33 million at March 31,
1999,  compared to $32 million at both December 31, 1998, and at March 31, 1998.
Included in the current  quarter-end  total allowance was $32 million of general
loan  valuation  allowances,  of  which $3  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 1999 first  quarter,  compared to $0.5
million in the year-ago  quarter.  The year-ago  quarter included a $1.4 million
recovery  from the  previously  mentioned  settlement.  Adjusting  the  year-ago
results to exclude  that  recovery,  net  charge-offs  would have been down $0.6
million between first quarters.  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.

</TABLE>

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     The primary  sources of funds  generated in the first  quarter of 1999 were
principal repayments (including prepayments, but excluding Downey refinances) on
loans and mortgage-backed  securities held for investment and available for sale
of $387 million and net increases in deposits and borrowings of $166 million and
$148 million,  respectively.  In addition,  loans held for sale declined by $137
million.

     These funds were used  primarily to originate  loans held for investment of
$855 million (net of Downey refinances of $52 million).

     At March 31, 1999 and  December 31,  1998,  the Bank's ratio of  regulatory
liquidity was 4.0%, compared to 4.6% at March 31, 1998.

     Stockholders'  equity  totaled $490 million at March 31, 1999,  compared to
$481 million at December 31, 1998, and $446 million at March 31, 1998.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

     The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank's  stockholder's equity
to  federal  regulatory  capital  as of March 31,  1999.  The core and  tangible
capital  ratios were 6.63% and the  risk-based  capital  ratio was  12.49%.  The
Bank's capital ratios exceed the "well capitalized" standards of 5% for core and
10% for risk-based, as defined by regulation.

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.,  "99"
for "1999"). 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 OTS has
authority  to bring  enforcement  actions  against  any  institution  under  its
supervision  which it believes is not properly  addressing  Year 2000 compliance
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 inventoried all
of its 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 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.

     By the end of 1998,  programming  was completed and acceptance  testing was
substantially  completed for Downey's  in-house  mainframe system. At the end of
the first quarter 1999, Downey completed  acceptance testing and installation of
the in-house mainframe system, which performs all significant loan, deposit, and
general ledger accounting processes.

     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 second 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.

<PAGE>


     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  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
$6.5 million.  This cost is in addition to existing personnel who are working on
the Year 2000  compliance  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 Year 2000
compliance  project 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  or 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 $2.4 million has been incurred to-date,  $0.1 million in
1997,  $1.8  million in 1998 and $0.5  million  during the first three months of
1999. 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  project  should enable it to be
successful  in modifying  its  computer  systems to be Year 2000  compliant.  As
previously stated,  acceptance testing and installation with respect to Downey's
in-house  mainframe  system which  performs all  significant  loan,  deposit and
general  ledger  accounting  processes was 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 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.
