                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE (1) - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of Downey Financial Corp. and subsidiaries  ("Downey," "we,"
"us" and "our"), 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, 2001, December 31,
2000 and March 31, 2000 and the results of operations, comprehensive income, and
changes  in cash  flows  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2001 and 2000.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America  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  condition,  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, 2000,  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, 2000 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.

     The following  table presents a  reconciliation  of the components  used to
derive basic and diluted earnings per share both before and after the cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle for the periods indicated.

NOTE (5) - ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

     On January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards
No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities," as
amended,  ("SFAS  133").  SFAS 133 required the  recognition  of all  derivative
financial instruments at fair value and reported as either assets or liabilities
in the  balance  sheet.  The  accounting  for gains and losses  associated  with
changes in the fair value of  derivatives  are  reported in current  earnings or
other  comprehensive  income,  net of tax, depending on whether they qualify for
hedge  accounting  and  whether  the  hedge is  highly  effective  in  achieving
offsetting  changes in the fair  value or cash  flows of the asset or  liability
hedged.  Under the  provisions  of SFAS 133, the method used for  assessing  the
effectiveness of a hedging derivative,  as well as the measurement  approach for
determining the ineffective  aspects of the hedge, must have been established at
the  inception  of the hedge.  Those  methods must also be  consistent  with the
entity's approach to managing risk.  Although we continue to hedge as previously
done,  SFAS 133, as applied to our risk management  strategies,  may increase or
decrease  reported net income and stockholders'  equity,  depending on levels of
interest  rates and other  variables  affecting  the fair  values of  derivative
instruments  and hedged  items,  but will have no effect on actual cash flows or
the overall economics of the transactions.

     With the  implementation  of SFAS 133,  we  recorded  after-tax  transition
amounts   associated  with  establishing  the  fair  values  of  the  derivative
instruments  and hedged items on the balance  sheet as an increase of $36,000 to
net income and a reduction of $388,000 in other comprehensive income. All of the
other  comprehensive  income  transition  amount was reclassified  into earnings
during the first quarter of 2001.

Derivatives

     We offer  short-term  interest  rate lock  commitments  to help us  attract
potential home loan  borrowers.  The rate locks  guarantee a specified  interest
rate for a loan if our  underwriting  standards are met, but do not obligate the
potential  borrower.  The rate lock commitments we ultimately  expect to sell in
the secondary market are treated as derivatives.  Consequently,  as derivatives,
the  expected  rate  lock  commitments  do not  qualify  for  hedge  accounting.
Associated  fair


                                       8



value  adjustments  are recorded in the balance  sheet in either other assets or
accounts  payable and accrued  liabilities,  with an offset to current  earnings
under net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed  securities.  At March 31,
2001,  we had rate lock  commitments  estimated to sell as part of our secondary
marketing activities of $337 million. At origination, the fair value of our rate
lock  derivatives are capitalized into the basis of our loans held for sale and,
from that point until sale, qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133.

Hedging Activities

     As  part  of our  secondary  marketing  activities,  we  typically  utilize
short-term  forward sale and purchase  contracts to offset the impact of changes
in  market  interest  rates on the  value of rate  lock  derivatives  and  loans
originated for sale.  Contracts  associated with originated  loans are accounted
for as cash flow hedges.  These  contracts have a high  correlation to the price
movement of both the rate lock  derivatives and the loans being hedged.  Changes
in  forward  sale  contract  values not  assigned  to  originated  loans and the
ineffectiveness  of hedge  transactions  are  recorded  in net gains on sales of
loans and  mortgage-backed  securities.  The  changes in values on forward  sale
contracts assigned as cash flow hedges to originated loans are recorded in other
comprehensive  income,  net of tax, as long as cash flow hedge  requirements are
met. The amounts  recorded in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income will be
recognized  in the  income  statement  when the hedged  forecasted  transactions
settle.  We estimate that all of the related  unrealized  losses in  accumulated
other  comprehensive  income will be reclassified  into earnings within the next
three  months.  At March 31,  2001,  forward  sale  contracts  amounted  to $780
million,  of which $400 million were designated as cash flow hedges, and forward
purchase contracts totaled $8 million.

NOTE (6) - INCOME TAXES

     Downey and its wholly owned subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income
tax return and various state income and franchise tax returns on a calendar year
basis. The Internal  Revenue Service and state taxing  authorities have examined
Downey's tax returns for all tax years through 1995 and are currently  reviewing
returns  filed  for the 1996 tax  year.  Adjustments  proposed  by the  Internal
Revenue  Service have been protested by Downey and are currently  moving through
the government appeals process.  Downey believes it has established  appropriate
liabilities for any resultant deficiencies.  Tax years subsequent to 1996 remain
open to review by federal and state tax authorities.

NOTE (7) - SALE OF SUBSIDIARY

     On February 29, 2000,  Downey Savings and Loan  Association,  F.A. sold its
indirect automobile finance  subsidiary,  Downey Auto Finance Corp., to Auto One
Acceptance  Corp.,  a subsidiary  of  California  Federal Bank and  recognized a
pre-tax gain from the sale of $9.8 million. As of December 31, 1999, Downey Auto
Finance Corp. had loans totaling $366 million and total assets of $373 million.

           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.  Our 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 we conduct
our operations,  fluctuations  in interest rates,  credit quality and government
regulation.

OVERVIEW

     Our net income for the first quarter of 2001 totaled $25.9 million or $0.91
per share on a diluted  basis,  compared to $27.4  million or $0.97 per share in
the same period a year ago.  Included in our year-ago results was a $5.6 million
or $0.20  per share  after-tax  gain  from the sale of our  indirect  automobile
finance  subsidiary.  If the year-ago  gain is  excluded,  our net income in the
current  quarter  would have  increased by $4.1 million or 18.5%.  On January 1,
2001,  we  adopted  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  133,
"Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities,"  as amended,
("SFAS  133") and, as a result,  recorded  an  immaterial  cumulative  effect of
change in accounting principle.

     The increase in our adjusted net income  between first  quarters was due to
higher net  income  from our  banking  operations,  as net income  from our real
estate investment  activities declined from $1.7 million in the first quarter of
2000 to $0.6 million in the current  quarter.  On an adjusted basis,  net income
from our banking  operations  increased  $5.2 million or 25.6% to $25.3  million
reflecting the following:

     o    net interest income  increased $13.4 million or 21.4% due to increases
          in both average earning assets and the effective interest rate spread;
          and
     o    provision for loan losses declined by $0.7 million.

Those  favorable  items were partially  offset by an increase of $1.5 million in
operating  expenses  associated with an increased number of branch locations and
higher loan  origination  activity.  In addition,  other income declined by $3.9
million,  as higher loan and  deposit  related  fees,  and net gains on sales of
loans and  mortgage-backed  securities  were  unable  to offset an $8.3  million
addition to the  valuation  allowance for mortgage  servicing  rights due to the
continued drop in fixed rate mortgage  interest rates during the quarter and the
expectation of higher loan prepayments in future periods.

     For the first quarter of 2001,  our return on average  assets was 0.94% and
our return on average equity was 16.28%.

     At March 31, 2001,  our assets  totaled $11.0  billion,  up $1.1 billion or
10.8% from a year ago.  Our  single  family  loan  originations  totaled  $1.438
billion  in the  first  quarter  of 2001,  down  4.1%  from the  $1.499  billion
originated  in the first  quarter of 2000. Of the current  quarter  total,  $641
million represented  originations of loans for portfolio,  of which $135 million
represented  subprime credits. In addition to single family loans, we originated
$29 million of other loans in the quarter.

     Between first  quarters,  we funded our asset growth with a $1.7 billion or
25.1% increase in deposits.  At quarter-end,  our deposits totaled $8.7 billion.
During the quarter, seven new in-store branches were opened,  bringing our total
branches at quarter end to 121, of which 56 are in-store.  A year ago,  branches
totaled 104, of which 40 were in-store.

     Our  non-performing  assets  increased $4 million during the quarter to $59
million or 0.53% of total assets. This increase was due to a rise in residential
subprime non-performers of $6 million and a $1 million commercial loan placed on
non-accrual.  Those  increases were partially  offset by a $4 million decline in
residential non-performers.

     At  March  31,  2001,  our  primary  subsidiary,  Downey  Savings  and Loan
Association, F.A. (the "Bank") had core and tangible capital ratios of 6.55% and
a risk-based  capital ratio of 13.09%.  These capital levels were  substantially
above the "well capitalized"  standards defined by regulation of 5% for core and
tangible capital and 10% for risk-based capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest  income is the  difference  between the interest and dividends
earned  on  loans,   mortgage-backed   securities  and   investment   securities
("interest-earning  assets") and the interest paid on deposits,  borrowings  and
capital  securities  ("interest-bearing  liabilities").  The spread  between the
yield on interest-earning  assets and the cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities
and the  relative  dollar  amounts of these assets and  liabilities  principally
affects net interest income.

     Our net interest income totaled $76.2 million in the first quarter of 2001,
up $13.4  million  or 21.3% from the same  period  last  year.  The  improvement
between first quarters  reflected  increases in both average  earning assets and
the effective interest rate spread. Our average earning assets increased by $1.3
billion or 14.4% between first quarters to $10.6 billion. Our effective interest
rate  spread  of  2.87% in the  current  quarter  was up from  2.71% in both the
year-ago  quarter and fourth  quarter of 2000.  Although  market  interest rates
declined during the current  quarter,  the yield on our adjustable rate mortgage
loans continued to rise due to the  administrative  lag in the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index ("COFI"), the index to which
the  majority  of our loans are  priced.  Therefore,  our  earning  asset  yield
increased more rapidly than our cost of funds.

     The  following  table  presents for the periods  indicated the total dollar
amount of:

     o    interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant
          yields; and
     o    interest  expense  on  average  interest-bearing  liabilities  and the
          resultant costs, expressed as rates.

     The table also sets forth our net interest income, interest rate spread and
effective  interest rate spread. The effective interest rate spread reflects the
relative level of interest-earning  assets to  interest-bearing  liabilities and
equals:

     o    the difference between interest income on interest-earning  assets and
          interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, divided by
     o    average interest-earning assets for the period.


                                       11



     The table also sets forth our net interest-earning  balance--the difference
between the average balance of  interest-earning  assets and the average balance
of total deposits, borrowings and capital securities--for the periods indicated.
We included non-accrual loans in the average interest-earning assets balance. We
included  interest from non-accrual  loans in interest income only to the extent
we received  payments and to the extent we believe we will recover the remaining
principal  balance of the loans.  We computed  average  balances for the quarter
using the  average of each  month's  daily  average  balance  during the periods
indicated.

     Changes in our 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 our
interest  income and  expense for the periods  indicated.  For each  category of
interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities,  we have  provided
information on changes attributable to:

     o    changes in  volume--changes in volume multiplied by comparative period
          rate;
     o    changes in  rate--changes  in rate  multiplied by  comparative  period
          volume; and
     o    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 $0.1  million in the current  quarter,  down
from $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2000.  For  information  regarding our
allowance  for loan  losses,  see  Financial  Condition--Problem  Loans and Real
Estate--Allowance for Losses on Loans and Real Estate on page 29.

OTHER INCOME

     Our total other income was $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2001,  down
$15.5  million  from a year ago.  Included  in the  year-ago  amount  was a $9.8
million gain from the sale of our indirect  auto finance  subsidiary.  Excluding
that gain,  other  income in the  current  quarter  would have  declined by $5.8
million primarily due to:

     o    an $8.2 million loss in loan servicing fees compared to income of $0.3
          million; and
     o    a $2.1 million  decline in income from real estate held for investment
          activities.

Those declines were partially  offset by an increase of $4.4 million in our loan
and  deposit  related  fees and $0.3  million in net gains on sales of loans and
mortgage-backed  securities.  Below is a further  discussion  of the major other
income categories.



                                       13



Loan and Deposit Related Fees

     Loan and deposit related fees totaled $10.2 million in the first quarter of
2001, up $4.4 million from a year ago. Our loan related fees  accounted for $3.3
million  of  the  increase  between  first  quarters,   of  which  $2.9  million
represented  higher loan prepayment  fees. Our deposit related fees increased by
$1.1 million or 38.9%,  of which $0.3 million  were fees from  automated  teller
machines.

     The following  table presents a breakdown of loan and deposit  related fees
during the periods indicated.

Real Estate and Joint Ventures Held for Investment

     Income from our real estate and joint ventures held for investment  totaled
$1.0  million in the first  quarter of 2001,  down from $3.1 million a year ago.
Our income from real estate held for investment  decreased by $2.1 million,  due
primarily  to lower net gains on sales that  totaled $0.4 million in the current
quarter,  compared to $1.7 million in the year-ago quarter. In addition, our net
rental income declined by $0.5 million due to fewer properties being owned.

     The table below sets forth the key  components  comprising  our income from
real estate and joint venture operations during the periods indicated.

Secondary Marketing Activities

     Sales of loans and  mortgage-backed  securities we originated  increased in
the first  quarter of 2001 to $597  million  from $331  million a year ago.  Net
gains  associated  with these sales totaled $2.1 million in the first quarter of
2001,  up from  $1.8  million a year ago.  The net  gains  included  capitalized
mortgage servicing rights of $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2001, compared
to $4.2 million a year ago..

     A loss of $8.2  million  was  recorded  in loan  servicing  fees  from  our
portfolio  of loans  serviced  for  others  during  the first  quarter  of 2001,
compared  to income  of $0.3  million  a year  ago.  The loss in the 2001  first
quarter  reflects an increase of $8.3  million in the  valuation  allowance  for
mortgage  servicing rights due to lower interest rates and expectation of higher
loan prepayments in future periods.  At March 31, 2001, we serviced $4.3 billion
of loans for others  compared  to $4.0  billion at  December  31,  2000 and $3.2
billion at March 31, 2000.

OPERATING EXPENSE

     Operating  expense  totaled $37.3 million in the current  quarter,  up $1.5
million from the first  quarter of 2000.  The increase was due to a $1.8 million
or 5.0%  increase in general  and  administrative  expense.  That  increase  was
primarily due to higher costs  associated  with the  increased  number of branch
locations and higher loan origination activity.

     The following  table presents a breakdown of our operating  expense for the
periods indicated.

Banking

     Net  income  from our  banking  operations  for the first  quarter  of 2001
totaled $25.3 million, down from $25.8 million in the first quarter of 2000. The
sale of our indirect  automobile finance subsidiary  benefited our first quarter
2000 net  income by $5.6  million.  Excluding  that gain,  net  income  from our
banking  operations  would have  increased  by $5.2 million or 25.6% from a year
ago.

     The adjusted increase between first quarters primarily reflected higher net
interest income.  Net interest income increased $13.4 million or 21.4% due to an
increase in both our average  earning  assets and our  effective  interest  rate
spread.  Also  favorably  impacting  our banking  net income was a $0.7  million
decline in  provision  for loan losses.  These  favorable  items were  partially
offset by an increase of $1.5 million in operating expense and a decline of $3.9
million in all other income. The increase in operating expense was due to higher
general and administrative  costs associated with the increased number of branch
locations and higher loan origination activity.  The decline in all other income
was  primarily due to an $8.3 million  addition to the  valuation  allowance for
mortgage  servicing  rights,  partially  offset by increases in loan and deposit
related fees and net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities.

Real Estate Investment

     Net income from our real estate investment  operations totaled $0.6 million
in the first quarter of 2001, down $1.1 million from the year-ago  quarter.  The
decline was  primarily  attributed to lower net gains on sales that totaled $0.4
million  in the  current  quarter,  compared  to $1.7  million  in the  year-ago
quarter.  Also  contributing  to the decline in income from real estate held for
investment was a lower level of net rental income due to fewer  properties being
owned.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     Total loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  including  those we hold for
sale,  increased  $188  million  during  the first  quarter  to a total of $10.3
billion or 93.1% of assets at March 31, 2001.  The increase  represents a higher
level of single family loans held for sale which  increased  $195 million during
the quarter.

investment and for sale during the periods indicated.

(1)  One-to-four unit residential loans, primarily fixed.



     Originations of one-to-four unit  residential  loans totaled $1.438 billion
in the first  quarter of 2001, of which $641 million were for portfolio and $797
million were for sale. This was 17.3% above the $1.226 billion originated in the
fourth  quarter of 2000, but 4.1% lower than the $1.499 billion we originated in
the year-ago first quarter.  Of the current quarter  originations for portfolio,
$135  million  represented  originations  of  subprime  credits  as  part of our
continuing  strategy to enhance the  portfolio's  net yield.  During the current
quarter,  71% of  our  residential  one-to-four  unit  originations  represented
refinancing transactions. This is up from 52% in the previous quarter and 45% in
the year-ago  first quarter.  In addition to single family loans,  we originated
$29 million of other loans in the current quarter.

     During the current  quarter,  loan  originations  for investment  consisted
primarily of  adjustable  rate  mortgages  tied to COFI, an index which lags the
movement in market interest rates.  This experience is similar to that of recent
quarters.

     Our adjustable rate mortgages generally:

     o    begin with an incentive interest rate, which is an interest rate below
          the current market rate,  that adjusts to the applicable  index plus a
          defined  spread,  subject to periodic  and lifetime  caps,  after one,
          three, six or twelve months;

     o    provide that the maximum  interest rate we can charge borrowers cannot
          exceed the incentive rate by more than six to nine percentage  points,
          depending on the type of loan and the initial rate offered; and

     o    limit interest rate adjustments to 1% per adjustment  period for those
          that adjust  semi-annually and 2% per adjustment period for those that
          adjust annually.

     Most  of  our  adjustable   rate  mortgages   adjust  monthly   instead  of
semi-annually. These monthly adjustable rate mortgages:

     o    have a lifetime interest rate cap, but no specified  periodic interest
          rate adjustment cap;

     o    have a periodic  cap on changes in required  monthly  payments,  which
          adjust annually; and

     o    allow  for  negative  amortization,  which  is the  addition  to  loan
          principal of accrued  interest that exceeds the required  monthly loan
          payments.

Regarding  negative   amortization,   if  a  loan  incurs  significant  negative
amortization,  then  there is an  increased  risk that the  market  value of the
underlying  collateral  on the loan would be  insufficient  to satisfy fully the
outstanding principal and interest. We currently impose a limit on the amount of
negative amortization, so that the principal plus the added amount cannot exceed
110% of the original loan amount.


                                       19



     At March 31, 2001,  $7.1 billion of the  adjustable  rate  mortgages in our
loan  portfolio  were  subject to negative  amortization  of which $170  million
represented the amount of negative amortization included in the loan balance.

     We also  continue to originate  residential  fixed  interest  rate mortgage
loans to meet  consumer  demand,  but we  intend to sell the  majority  of these
loans.  We sold $597 million of loans in the first quarter of 2001,  compared to
$243  million in the previous  quarter and $331 million in the first  quarter of
2000. All were secured by residential  one-to-four  unit property,  and at March
31, 2001, loans held for sale totaled $446 million.

     At March 31, 2001,  we had  commitments  to fund loans  amounting to $1.465
billion,  of which $1.023 billion were one-to-four unit residential  loans being
originated for sale in the secondary  market, as well as undrawn lines of credit
of $83  million  and loans in process of $53  million.  We believe  our  current
sources of funds will enable us to meet these  obligations  while  exceeding all
regulatory liquidity requirements.

     We carry loans for sale at the lower of cost or market.  At March 31, 2001,
no valuation  allowance was required as the market value  exceeded book value on
an aggregate basis.

     At March 31, 2001, our  residential  one-to-four  units subprime  portfolio
consisted of approximately  73% A-, 22% B and 5% C loans. At March 31, 2001, the
average  loan-to-value  ratio at origination  for these loans was  approximately
75%.

     We carry mortgage-backed securities available for sale at fair value which,
at  March  31,  2001,  reflected  an  unrealized  loss of  $9,000.  The  current
quarter-end  unrealized loss, less the associated tax effect is reflected within
a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until realized.

DEPOSITS

     At March 31, 2001,  deposits totaled $8.7 billion, up $1.7 billion or 25.1%
from a year-ago and up $626 million or 7.7% from year-end 2000.  Compared to the
year-ago period, our certificates of deposit increased $1.6 billion or 29.8% and
our   transaction   accounts--i.e.,   checking,   regular   passbook  and  money
market--increased  $127 million or 8.3%. Within transaction accounts,  our total
checking accounts  (non-interest and interest bearing) increased $151 million or
25.2%.  That  increase,  however,  was  partially  offset by declines in regular
passbook accounts.

CAPITAL SECURITIES

     On July 23, 1999,  we issued $120 million in capital  securities,  of which
$108 million was invested as  additional  common stock in the Bank.  The capital
securities  pay quarterly  cumulative  cash  distributions  at an annual rate of
10.00% of the liquidation value of $25 per share. Interest expense including the
amortization  of  deferred  issuance  costs on our capital  securities  was $3.0
million for the first quarter of 2001.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK

     Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse  changes in market  prices and
interest rates.  Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk in our
lending and deposit  taking  activities.  This  interest rate risk occurs to the
degree that our  interest-bearing  liabilities  reprice or mature on a different
basis--generally  more  rapidly--than  our  interest-earning  assets.  Since our
earnings depend  primarily on our 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,  one of our principal objectives
is to actively  monitor  and manage the  effects of adverse  changes in interest
rates on net  interest  income  while  maintaining  asset  quality.  Our primary
strategy  to  manage  interest  rate risk is to  emphasize  the  origination  of
adjustable rate mortgages or loans with relatively  short  maturities.  Interest
rates on adjustable rate mortgages are primarily tied to COFI. There has been no
significant change in our market risk since December 31, 2000.


                                       24



     The following  table sets forth the repricing  frequency of our major asset
and  liability  categories  as of March 31, 2001,  as well as other  information
regarding the repricing and maturity  differences  between our  interest-earning
assets and total deposits,  borrowings and capital securities in future periods.
We refer  to these  differences  as  "gap."  We have  determined  the  repricing
frequencies  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.  We assume  prepayment  rates on substantially  all of our loan
portfolio based upon our historical  loan prepayment  experience and anticipated
future prepayments.  Repricing  mechanisms on a number of our assets are subject
to  limitations,  such as caps on the amount that interest rates and payments on
our loans may adjust,  and accordingly,  these assets do not normally respond to
changes in market  interest  rates as completely or rapidly as our  liabilities.
The interest rate  sensitivity of our assets and liabilities  illustrated in the
following table would vary substantially if we used different  assumptions or if
actual experience differed from the assumptions shown.

     Our six-month gap at March 31, 2001 was a positive 19.74%.  This means more
interest-earning   assets  reprice  within  six  months  than  total   deposits,
borrowings and capital securities.  This compares to a positive six-month gap of
28.66% at December 31, 2000 and 24.69% at March 31, 2000.  We continue to pursue
our strategy of emphasizing the  origination of adjustable  rate mortgages.  For
the twelve  months  ended  March 31,  2001,  we  originated  and  purchased  for
investment $2.9 billion of adjustable rate loans which represented approximately
98% of all loans we originated and purchased for investment during the period.

     At March 31, 2001, 98% of our  interest-earning  assets mature,  reprice or
are estimated to prepay within five years, unchanged from December 31, 2000, but
up  slightly  from 97% at March 31,  2000.  At March 31,  2001,  loans  held for
investment  and  mortgage-backed   securities  with  adjustable  interest  rates
represented  90% of those  portfolios.  During  the first  quarter  of 2001,  we
continued  to offer  residential  fixed  rate  loan  products  to our  customers
primarily for sale in the secondary  market.  We price and originate  fixed rate
mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market to increase  opportunities for
originating  adjustable rate mortgages and generating fee and servicing  income.
We also originate  fixed rate loans for portfolio to facilitate the sale of real
estate  acquired in settlement of loans and which meet specific  yield and other
approved guidelines.

     At March  31,  2001,  $9.4  billion  or 91% of our  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
$9.4  billion or 93% at December  31, 2000 and $8.7  billion or 93% at March 31,
2000.

PROBLEM LOANS AND REAL ESTATE

Non-Performing Assets

     Non-performing  assets consist of loans on which we have ceased the accrual
of interest,  which we refer to as non-accrual  loans,  loans  restructured at a
below market rate,  real estate  acquired in settlement of loans and repossessed
automobiles. Non-performing assets increased during the quarter by $4 million to
$59  million  or 0.53%  of  total  assets.  This  increase  was due to a rise in
residential  subprime  non-performers of $6 million and a $1 million  commercial
loan  placed  on  non-accrual,  partially  offset  by a $4  million  decline  in
residential  non-performers.   Non-performing  assets  at  quarter  end  include
non-accrual loans aggregating $2 million which were not contractually  past due,
but were deemed  non-accrual  due to  management's  assessment of the borrower's
ability to pay.

Delinquent Loans

     During the 2001 first quarter,  our  delinquencies as a percentage of total
loans  outstanding  increased from 0.66% to 0.73%, and were above the 0.53% of a

Allowance for Losses on Loans and Real Estate

     We  maintain  valuation  allowances  for losses on loans and real estate to
provide for losses inherent in those  portfolios.  The adequacy of the allowance
is  evaluated  quarterly  by  management  to maintain  the  allowance  at levels
sufficient to provide for inherent losses. We adhere to an internal asset review
system and loss allowance methodology designed to provide for timely recognition
of problem assets and an adequate allowance to cover asset losses. The amount of
the  allowance  is based upon the  summation  of general  valuation  allowances,
allocated allowances and an unallocated allowance.  General valuation allowances
relate to assets with no  well-defined  deficiency  or  weakness  and takes into
consideration  loss that is imbedded  within the  portfolio but has not yet been
realized.  Allocated allowances relate to assets with well-defined  deficiencies
or weaknesses.  Included in these  allowances are those amounts  associated with
assets  where it is probable  that the value of the asset has been  impaired and
the loss can be reasonably estimated.  If we determine the net fair value of the
asset  exceeds our  carrying  value,  a specific  allowance  is recorded for the
amount of that difference.  The unallocated  allowance is more subjective and is
reviewed  quarterly to take into  consideration  estimation  errors and economic
trends that are not necessarily  captured in determining  the general  valuation
and allocated allowances.

     Allowances for losses on all assets were $37 million at March 31, 2001, $38
million at December 31, 2000 and $35 million at March 31, 2000.

     Our provision  for loan losses was $0.1 million in the current  quarter and
was below our net loan  charge-offs  by $0.4 million  resulting in a decrease in
the allowance  for loan losses to $34.1  million at March 31, 2001.  The current
quarter  allowance  decrease  reflected  a decrease  of $0.5  million in general
valuation  allowances to $26.5 million due to declines in various  categories of
our loan portfolio,  while allocated  allowances remained virtually unchanged at
$4.7 million. There was no change in the unallocated allowance of $2.8 million.

     The following  table is a summary of the activity in our allowance for loan
losses during the periods indicated.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     Our sources of funds  include  deposits,  advances  from the FHLB and other
borrowings;  proceeds  from the sale of real estate,  loans and  mortgage-backed
securities;  payments of loans and  mortgage-backed  securities and payments for
and sales of loan servicing; and income from other investments.  Interest rates,
real estate sales activity and general economic conditions  significantly affect
repayments  on loans and  mortgage-backed  securities  and  deposit  inflows and
outflows.

     Our primary  sources of funds  generated in the first  quarter of 2001 were
from:

     o    a net increase in deposits of $626 million;
     o    principal repayments--including  prepayments, but excluding refinances
          of our existing loans--on loans and mortgage-backed securities of $563
          million; and
     o    maturities of U.S. Treasury  securities,  agency obligations and other
          investment securities available for sale of $203 million.

     We used these funds for the following purposes:

     o    to originate loans held for investment of $522 million;
     o    to paydown our borrowings by $521 million;
     o    to increase our loans held for sale a net $195 million; and
     o    to purchase U.S.  Treasury  securities,  agency  obligations and other
          investment securities available for sale of $161 million.

     At March 31,  2001,  the Bank's  ratio of  regulatory  liquidity  was 4.6%,
compared to 4.3% at December 31, 2000 and 4.0% at March 31, 2000.

     Downey    currently    has    liquid    assets,    including    due    from
Bank--interest-bearing  balances, of $18 million and can obtain further funds by
means of  dividends  from  subsidiaries,  subject  to  certain  limitations,  or
issuance of further debt or equity.

     Stockholders'  equity  totaled $649 million at March 31, 2001, up from $625
million at December 31, 2000 and $557 million at March 31, 2000.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

     The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank's  stockholder's equity

Bank's capital ratios exceed the "well capitalized"  standards of 5.00% for core
capital and 10.00% for risk-based capital, as defined by regulation.
