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. 9 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. 10 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.

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.

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.

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. 14 The following table presents a breakdown of the components of our loan servicing fees.

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. 16 The table below sets forth our banking operational results and selected financial data for the periods indicated.

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.

The increase represents a higher level of single family loans held for sale which increased $195 million during the quarter.

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. 20 The following table sets forth the origination, purchase and sale activity relating to our loans and mortgage-backed securities during the periods indicated.

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.

(3) Includes amounts swept into money market deposit accounts and subject to immediate repricing. (4) Subject to immediate repricing. 25 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. The following table sets forth the interest rate spread between our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at the dates indicated.

At March 31, 2001, our adjustable rate mortgage portfolio of single family residential loans, including mortgage-backed securities, totaled $9.0 billion with a weighted average rate of 8.65%, compared to $9.0 billion with a weighted average rate of 8.47% at December 31, 2000 and $8.2 billion with a weighted average rate of 7.63% 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. 26 The following table summarizes our non-performing assets at the dates indicated.

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.

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.
