ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

     Certain   statements   under  this  caption   constitute   "forward-looking
statements"  under the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 which
involve risks and  uncertainties.  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.   For  additional   information   concerning   these  factors,   see
Business--Factors that May Affect Future Results on page 19.

OVERVIEW

     Our net income for 1999 totaled a record  $63.8  million or $2.26 per share
on a diluted  basis,  up 10.1% from last year's record of $58.0 million or $2.05
per share.  Our year-ago net income benefited from the settlement of a number of
loan and real estate  investment  obligations of a former joint venture partner.
That settlement added $4.8 million to our 1998 net income. The pre-tax amount of
the settlement was $8.4 million of which:

     o    $1.4  million  represented  the  recovery  of a prior loan  charge-off
          thereby reducing provision for loan losses;

     o    $4.4 million was recorded in income from real estate and joint venture
          operations of which $4.3 million was a reduction of loss;

     o    $1.0 million was recorded in miscellaneous other income; and

     o    $1.6 million was recorded as a reduction to  professional  fees within
          general and administrative expense.

Excluding  the  benefit  of the  settlement,  our net  income in 1999 would have
increased over a year ago by $10.6 million or 20.0%.  This adjusted increase was
generated in both of our business segments as follows:

     o    Banking activities contributed $9.0 million to the increase reflecting
          the following:

          o    net interest  income  increased  $32.8 million or 18.8% due to an
               increase  in  average  interest-earning  assets as the  effective
               interest rate spread declined;

          o    all categories of other income improved with a combined  adjusted
               increase  of $16.1  million,  primarily  in net gains on sales of
               loans and  mortgage-backed  securities of $8.3 million,  loan and
               deposit  related fees of $4.5 million and loan  servicing fees of
               $1.4 million; and

          o    adjusted increases of $28.1 million in operating expense and $6.0
               million in  provision  for loan  losses  partially  offset  those
               favorable  factors.  The increase in operating  expense reflected
               higher general and  administrative  expense due to  significantly
               higher lending volumes and branch expansion.

     o    Real estate  investment  activities  contributed  $1.6  million to the
          increase  primarily  from a higher  level of gains  from sales of real
          estate investments.

     Our assets  increased  a record $3.1  billion or 50.0%  during 1999 to $9.4
billion at year-end,  following a 7.4% increase during 1998.  Assets expanded in
1999 primarily from loan growth.  Our single family loan originations  increased
from $3.7  billion  in 1998 to a record  $6.7  billion  in 1999,  of which  $2.0
billion were originated for sale in the secondary  market. Of the current year's
total, $1.2 billion  represented  originations for portfolio of subprime credits
as part of our  continuing  strategy to enhance the  portfolio's  net yield.  In
addition to single  family  loans,  we  originated  $530  million of other loans
during the year,  including $234 million of automobile loans and $206 million of
construction and land loans.

     We funded  our asset  growth  with  increases  of $1.5  billion or 30.2% in
deposits,  a record,  and $1.4 billion in  borrowings.  In  addition,  we issued
during the year $120 million of 10.00% capital securities, of which $108 million
was invested as additional common stock in the Bank.

     Non-performing assets totaled $39 million at December 31, 1999, up from $27
million a year ago.  This  increase was  primarily  in the subprime  residential
category.  When  measured as a percentage of total  assets,  our  non-performing
assets fell from 0.44% at year-end 1998 to 0.42% at year-end 1999.

     At December 31, 1999, the Bank exceeded all three regulatory capital tests,
with capital-to-asset ratios of 6.27% in tangible and core capital and 12.14% in
risk-based  capital.  These  capital  levels are  significantly  above the "well
capitalized"  standards defined by the federal banking regulators of 5% for core
and tangible capital and 10% for risk-based  capital.  For further  information,
see  Business--Regulation--Regulation of the Bank--Insurance of Deposit Accounts
on page 12, Financial  Condition--Investments  in Real Estate and Joint Ventures
on page 38 and Financial Condition--Regulatory Capital Compliance on page 56.

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 interest income.

     Our net interest  income was $207.5  million in 1999,  up $33.1  million or
19.0%  from  1998  and  $53.3  million  or 34.6%  greater  than  1997.  The 1999
improvement over 1998 primarily  reflected an increase in average earning assets
as the effective interest rate spread declined. Average earning assets increased
by $1.5 billion or 27.1% to $7.2  billion.  The  effective  interest rate spread
averaged 2.88% in 1999,  down from 3.08% in 1998, but up from 2.83% in 1997. The
decline in our 1999  effective  interest  rate spread was due  primarily  to two
factors.  First, the significant  growth in single family  adjustable rate loans
during  1999  resulted in a higher  proportion  of our  portfolio  being at low,
introductory  incentive rates thereby  contributing to a decline in the yield on
average   earning  assets   between  years.   As  these  new  loans  reprice  to
fully-indexed  rates in future periods and loans with  incentive  rates become a
lower proportion of earning assets,  this downward pressure on our earning asset
yield should lessen.  Second,  a higher  proportion of earning assets was funded
with higher cost certificates of deposit and borrowings  thereby resulting in an
increase in 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.

     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  interest-bearing   liabilities--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 that we
received  payments  and to the  extent  that  we  believe  we will  recover  the
remaining  principal  balance of the loan. We computed  average balances for the
year using the average of each month's daily average  balance  during the period
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 years  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 prior period rate;

     o    changes in rate - changes in rate  multiplied by prior 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  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 $11.3  million in 1999, up from $3.9 million
in 1998 and $8.6 million in 1997.  The increase in our provision for loan losses
in 1999 is  primarily  due to the  significant  increase  during the year in our
single family  residential  loan  portfolio.  Also,  1998  benefited from a $1.4
million  recovery  of a prior  loan  charge-off  as a result  of the  previously
mentioned settlement.

     For further information,  see Financial  Condition--Problem  Loans and Real
Estate--Allowance for Losses on Loans and Real Estate on page 51.

OTHER INCOME

     Our total other income was $59.3  million in 1999, up from $47.4 million in
1998 and $35.2 million in 1997.  All  categories of other income were above year
ago levels  except for our income from real estate held for  investment.  Income
from real estate held for investment  declined by $3.1 million,  as the year-ago
amount  included $4.4 million from the  previously  mentioned  settlement.  That
decline  was more than offset by  increases  in the other  categories,  the more
significant  of which  were  $8.3  million  in net  gains on sales of loans  and
mortgage  backed  securities,  $4.5 million in loan and deposit related fees and
$1.4 million in loan servicing fees. Below is a further  discussion of the major
other income categories.

LOAN AND DEPOSIT RELATED FEES

     Loan and deposit  related fees totaled $20.1 million in 1999, up from $15.6
million in 1998 and $10.9 million in 1997.  As depicted in the following  table,
our loan related fees  increased by $3.4 million or 46.6% in 1999 due  primarily
to higher  prepayment  and wire  transfer  fees from funding a higher  volume of
loans, while our deposit related fees increased by $1.1 million or 12.9%.

REAL ESTATE AND JOINT VENTURE OPERATIONS HELD FOR INVESTMENT

     Income from our real estate and joint ventures held for investment  totaled
$19.3  million  in 1999,  down from  $22.4  million  in 1998,  but up from $14.2
million in 1997.  The table below sets forth the key  components  comprising our
income from real estate and joint venture operations.

</TABLE>

     Our income from real estate and joint ventures would have increased by $1.3
million if our 1998  results had not included  $4.4 million from the  previously
mentioned settlement.  That adjusted increase primarily reflected an increase in
net gains from sales and declines in valuation losses.

SECONDARY MARKETING ACTIVITIES

     Sales of loans and  mortgage-backed  securities we originated  increased in
1999 to $2.4 billion  from $1.7  billion in 1998 and $558  million in 1997.  Net
gains  associated  with these sales  totaled $14.8 million in 1999, up from $6.5
million in 1998 and $2.7 million in 1997. The net gains include $29.3 million in
1999,   $7.3   million  in  1998  and  $1.2  million  in  1997  related  to  the
capitalization of mortgage servicing rights.

     Loan servicing fees from our portfolio of loans serviced for others totaled
$1.7  million for 1999,  up from $0.3  million in 1998 and $1.3 million in 1997.
The increase in 1999 reflects both an increase in our servicing  portfolio and a
decrease in the valuation allowance for mortgage servicing rights. The valuation
allowance was  established  during 1998 due to higher than expected  prepayments
from the low interest rate environment that existed at that time. As rates began
to increase during 1999,  expected  prepayment  rates declined  permitting us to
reverse  during 1999 most of the allowance  established in 1998. At December 31,
1999, we serviced $2.9 billion of loans for others,  compared to $1.0 billion at
December 31, 1998, and $613 million at December 31, 1997.

OTHER CATEGORY

     The all other  category of other income  totaled  $3.1 million in 1999,  up
from $2.6 million in 1998,  but down from $6.1 million in 1997. We included $1.0
million of proceeds from the previously  mentioned settlement in the 1998 total.
Excluding  that  amount,  the adjusted  increase  from 1998 would have been $1.5
million.

OPERATING EXPENSES

     Our  operating  expenses  totaled  $144.9  million in 1999,  up from $116.7
million in 1998 and $101.3 million in 1997. The current year increase was due to
higher general and administrative  expense,  as the net operation of real estate
acquired  in  settlement  of  loans  declined  by  $0.2  million.   General  and
administrative  expense  increased  $28.5  million  or  24.6%  in  1999  due  to
significantly higher lending volumes,  branch expansion and 1998 included a $1.6
million  reduction  to  professional  fees  due  to  the  previously   mentioned
settlement. In addition, our year 2000 computer compliance related costs totaled
$2.7 million for 1999, up from $1.8 million in 1998 and $0.1 million in 1997.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

     Our  effective  tax rate for 1999 was 42.3%,  compared to 42.7% in 1998 and
43.1%  in  1997.  See  Note 1 on page 65 and  Note 18 on page 85 of Notes to the
Consolidated  Financial  Statements for a further discussion of income taxes and

BANKING

     Net income from our banking  operations  totaled  $53.8 million in 1999, up
from $46.7 million in 1998 and $38.7 million in 1997. The  previously  mentioned
settlement benefited our year-ago net income by $1.9 million. The pre-tax amount
of the settlement was $3.4 million of which:

     o    $1.4  million was recorded as a reduction  to the  provision  for loan
          losses;

     o    $1.0 million was recorded in miscellaneous other income; and

     o    $1.0 million was recorded as a reduction to  professional  fees within
          operating expense.

Excluding the settlement from year-ago results, our 1999 net income from banking
operations would have increased $9.0 million or 20.0%.

     The increase in our adjusted 1999 net income reflected several factors. Net
interest  income  increased $32.8 million or 18.8% due to an increase in average
earning assets as the effective interest rate spread declined. Also contributing
to the increase  between years was an adjusted  $16.1 million  increase in other
income.  The  increase in  adjusted  other  income  reflected  increases  in all
categories,  the largest  being $8.3  million in net gains on sales of loans and
mortgage-backed securities, followed by $4.5 million in loan and deposit related
fees and $1.4  million  in loan  servicing  fees.  Adjusted  increases  of $28.1
million in  operating  expense  and $6.0  million in  provision  for loan losses
partially  offset the favorable impact of those items. The increase in operating
expense  primarily  reflected  significantly  higher lending  volumes and branch
expansion.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT

     Net income from our real estate investment operations totaled $10.0 million
in 1999,  down from $11.2 million in 1998, but up from $6.6 million in 1997. The
previously  mentioned  settlement  benefited  our  year-ago  net  income by $2.9
million. The pre-tax amount of the settlement was $5.0 million of which:

     o    $4.4  million  was  recorded  in other  income of which  $4.3  million
          reflected a reduction of loss on real estate and joint ventures; and

     o    $0.6 million was recorded as a reduction to professional fees in other
          expense.

Excluding the settlement  from year-ago  results,  our 1999 net income from real
estate  investment  would have  increased  $1.6 million or 19.7% due to a higher
level of net gains from sales and declines in valuation losses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     Loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  including  those we hold for sale,
totaled $8.7 billion or 93.0% of assets at December 31, 1999. This represents an
increase of $3.0 billion or 51.1% from year-end 1998. The increase  represents a
higher  level  of  loans  held  for  investment,   primarily   one-to-four  unit
residential loans.

     Our loan  originations,  including loans  purchased,  totaled a record $7.2
billion in 1999,  up from $4.1  billion in 1998 and $2.4  billion in 1997.  This
increase  primarily  reflected an increase in originations  of one-to-four  unit
residential  loans. Of the $6.7 billion of one-to-four unit residential loans we
originated,  approximately  70% or $4.6  billion were for  portfolio,  while the
balance was  originated  for sale in the secondary  market.  Our  origination of
subprime loans totaled $1.2 billion in 1999, up from $380 million in 1998.

     The table below  presents  information  regarding  interest  rates and fees
collected on loans originated during the periods indicated.

     We originate  one-to-four unit  residential  adjustable rate mortgages both
with and without loan origination fees. In adjustable rate mortgage transactions
for which we charge no  origination  fees,  we receive a larger  margin over the
index to which the loan  pricing is tied than in those in which we charge  fees.
In addition,  a prepayment  fee on these loans is generally  required if prepaid
within the first three years.  This trend towards loans with no origination fees
has generally  resulted in deferrable  loan  origination  costs  exceeding  loan
origination fees except in 1995, which included  increases in interest buydowns,
or discounts, on new real estate loans.

     Residential   one-to-four  unit  adjustable  rate  mortgage   originations,
including loans purchased,  were $4.4 billion during 1999, up significantly from
$1.4 billion in 1998 and $1.7 billion in 1997. Refinancing activities related to
residential one-to-four unit loans, including new loans to refinance loans which
we and other lenders originated, constituted 63% of originations during the year
compared  to  71%  during  1998  and  45%  during  1997.  Although   residential
one-to-four  unit  refinancing  activities  fell  in  1999  as a  percentage  of
originations, in dollar terms refinancing activities increased from $2.6 billion
in 1998 to  $4.2  billion  in 1999 as  borrowers  took  advantage  of the  lower
interest rate environment that existed,  particularly in the earlier part of the
year. In addition, the majority of residential originations were adjustable rate
mortgages tied to the FHLB Eleventh  District Cost of Funds Index  ("COFI"),  an
index which lags the movement in market  interest  rates.  For the year,  68% of
one-to-four unit originations for investment  represented monthly adjusting COFI
adjustable  rate  mortgages  which  provide  for  negative   amortization,   14%
represented COFI adjustable rate mortgages which reprice every six months but do
not provide for negative amortization, with the balance represented by a variety
of other pricing terms.  At December 31, 1999,  $5.2 billion of our  one-to-four
unit  adjustable  rate mortgages were subject to negative  amortization of which
$75 million represented the amount of negative  amortization added to the unpaid
loan balance. For further information, see Business--Banking Activities--Lending
Activities--Residential Real Estate Lending on page 3.

     Our origination of commercial real estate loans, including loans purchased,
totaled $10  million in 1999,  compared to $11 million in 1998 and $8 million in
1997. Originations of loans secured by multi-family properties,  including loans
purchased,  totaled $1 million in 1999,  compared  to $15 million in 1998 and $6
million in 1997.

     During 1999, we originated $149 million of construction loans,  principally
for entry level and first time move-up residential tracts. This compares to $112
million in 1998 and $80 million in 1997.  Our  origination  of land  development
loans  totaled  $57  million in 1999,  compared  to $48  million in 1998 and $20
million in 1997.

     Origination of  non-mortgage  commercial  loans increased to $25 million in
1999 from $6 million in 1998 and $14 million in 1997. The vast majority of these
originations represented secured loans.

     Origination of automobile  loans totaled $234 million in 1999,  compared to
$175  million  in  1998  and  $259  million  in  1997.  The  majority  of  these
originations represent our indirect lending program that was conducted by Downey
Auto  Finance  Corp.  whereby  loans  to  finance  the  purchase  of new or used
automobiles were obtained through preapproved  automobile  dealers.  For further
information  regarding  Downey Auto Finance Corp.,  see Subsequent Event on page

     At December 31, 1999,  the maximum amount the Bank could have loaned to any
one borrower, and related entities, under regulatory limits was $100 million, or
$167 million for loans secured by readily marketable collateral, compared to $75
million or $124 million for loans  secured by readily  marketable  collateral at
year-end 1998. The Bank does not expect that these  regulatory  limitations will
adversely impact its proposed lending activities during 2000.

INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE AND JOINT VENTURES

     DSL Service Company participates as an owner of, or a partner in, a variety
of real estate development  projects,  principally retail neighborhood  shopping
center  developments,  most of which are located in  California.  For additional
information  regarding the location of these real estate  investments see Note 8
of Notes to the Consolidated  Financial Statements on page 77. We have completed
and substantially  leased most of the real estate  development  projects--with a
weighted average  occupancy of 87% for retail  neighborhood  shopping centers at
December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1999, the Bank had  outstanding  loans of $35
million to these joint ventures.

     In its joint  ventures,  DSL Service Company is entitled to interest on its
equity  invested in the project on a priority basis after  third-party  debt and
shares  profits and losses with the  developer  partner,  generally  on an equal
basis. DSL Service Company has obtained personal  guarantees from the principals
of the  developer  partners  in a number of the  joint  ventures  and  generally
requires the  developer  partner to secure any  outstanding  obligations  to the
joint venture,  like its portion of operating losses, when the partner is unable
to satisfy such  obligations on a current basis.  Partnership  equity or deficit
accounts  are  affected  by current  period  results of  operations,  additional
partner advances, partnership distributions and partnership liquidations.

     As of December 31, 1999,  DSL Service  Company was involved with four joint
venture  partners.  Three  of  these  partners  were  operators  of four  retail
neighborhood  shopping centers, a commercial  building,  two residential housing
developments  and vacant land held for sale. The other joint venture  partner is
involved in the development of two new industrial buildings. DSL Service Company
has  eight  wholly  owned  retail  neighborhood   shopping  centers  located  in
California and Arizona.

     The following table sets forth the condensed balance sheets of DSL Service
Company's  joint ventures by property type at December 31, 1999, on a historical
cost basis. None of the joint venture  investments have valuation  allowances as
the fair market value of the associated property exceeds its carrying value. For
further information regarding the establishment of loss allowances,  see Problem
Loans and Real Estate--Allowance for Losses on Loans and Real Estate on page 51.

<FN>
(1)  We included in these amounts  interest-bearing  joint venture advances with
     priority interest payments from joint ventures to DSL Service Company.
(2)  The aggregate other partners' deficit of $6 million represents their equity
     interest in the accumulated  retained earnings  (deficit) of the respective
     joint ventures.  Those results include not only the net profit on sales and
     the operating results of the real estate assets,  but depreciation  expense
     and funding costs as well.  Except for any secured financing which has been
     obtained, DSL Service Company has provided all other financing.  As part of
     our internal asset review  process,  we compare the fair value of the joint
     venture  real estate  assets to the secured  notes  payable to the Bank and
     others and DSL Service Company's equity investment.  To the extent the fair
     value  of the real  estate  assets  is less  than  the  aggregate  of those
     amounts, we make a provision to create a valuation allowance. There were no
     allowances  at  December  31,  1999,  as the fair value of the real  estate
     assets  of the joint  venture  partnerships  in which  the other  partners'
     equity  was a deficit  exceeded  the  amount of third  party  notes and DSL
     Service Company's  investment thereby  eliminating the need for a valuation
     allowance since the sale of the real estate would allow DSL Service Company
     to realize its investment.

     Real estate  investments entail risks similar to those our construction and
commercial  lending  activities  present.  In addition,  California  courts have
imposed warranty-like  responsibility upon developers of new housing for defects
in  structure   and  the  housing  site,   including   soil   conditions.   This
responsibility  is not  necessarily  dependent upon a finding that the developer
was negligent.  Owners of real property also may incur  liabilities with respect
to environmental  matters,  including  financial  responsibility for clean-up of
hazardous waste or other conditions, under various federal and state laws.

DEPOSITS

     Our  deposits  increased a record $1.5 billion or 30.2% in 1999 and totaled
$6.6 billion at December 31, 1999. Our  certificates  of deposit  increased $1.3
billion or 33.4%, while our lower-rate transaction  accounts--checking,  regular
passbook  and  money  market--increased  $252  million  or  20.3%.  Of the total
increase in our deposits,  $105 million was  associated  with 14 new branches we
opened  during 1999.  The  following  table sets forth the amount of deposits by
classification at the dates indicated.

BORROWINGS

     At December 31, 1999,  borrowings  totaled $2.1 billion,  up  significantly
from $704  million at  year-end  1998 and $484  million at  year-end  1997.  The
increase in 1999  primarily  reflected  increases in advances from the FHLB. The

CAPITAL SECURITIES

     On July 23,  1999,  we issued $120  million in capital  securities  through
Downey  Financial  Capital  Trust  I.  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 $5.3 million for 1999. For further
information regarding our capital securities, see Note 19 on page 87 of Notes To
Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 interest-bearing  liabilities reprice or mature more rapidly or on a
different  basis  than  interest-earning   assets.  Since  our  earnings  depend
primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between

                                       19
<PAGE>


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  Asset/Liability  Management  Committee is responsible for implementing
the interest rate risk management policy which sets forth limits  established by
the Board of Directors  on  acceptable  changes in net  interest  income and net
portfolio value from specified  changes in interest  rates.  The OTS defines net
portfolio  value as the present  value of expected net cash flows from  existing
assets  minus  the  present  value of  expected  net cash  flows  from  existing
liabilities  plus the  present  value  of  expected  cash  flows  from  existing
off-balance sheet contracts.  Our Asset/Liability  Management Committee reviews,
among other items,  economic  conditions,  the interest rate outlook, the demand
for  loans,  the  availability  of  deposits  and  borrowings,  and our  current
operating results,  liquidity,  capital and interest rate exposure. In addition,
our Asset/Liability Management Committee monitors asset and liability maturities
and  repricing   characteristics   on  a  regular  basis  and  performs  various
simulations  and other  analyses to determine  the  potential  impact of various
business  strategies in controlling  interest rate risk and the potential impact
of those  strategies upon future earnings under various interest rate scenarios.
Based on these reviews,  our Asset/Liability  Management  Committee formulates a
strategy that is intended to implement the  objectives set forth in our business
plan without  exceeding the net interest  income and net portfolio  value limits
set forth in our interest rate risk policy.

     One measure of our  exposure  to  differential  changes in  interest  rates
between assets and  liabilities is shown in the following table which sets forth
the  repricing  frequency  of our major  asset and  liability  categories  as of
December 31, 1999, as well as  information  regarding our gap position.  Our gap
position   represents  the  repricing  and  maturity   difference   between  our
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities 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. 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  as  completely  or  rapidly  as our  liabilities  to  changes in market
interest  rates.  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 set forth.

     Our six-month gap at December 31, 1999, was a positive  21.29%.  This means
that   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 24.82% at  December  31,  1997.  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. We originated and
purchased  approximately  $4.7 billion during 1999, $1.5 billion during 1998 and
$2.0  billion  during  1997,  of  loans  and  mortgage-backed   securities  with
adjustable  interest  rates or  maturities  of five years or less.  These  loans
represented  approximately 92% during 1999, 80% during 1998 and 96% during 1997,
of all  loans  and  mortgage-backed  securities  originated  and  purchased  for
investment during these periods.

     At December 31, 1999, 97% of our interest-earning assets mature, reprice or
are estimated to prepay within five years,  compared to 98% at December 31, 1998
and 99% at December 31, 1997.  At December 31, 1999,  loans held for  investment
with adjustable interest rates represented 87% of our loan and mortgage-backed

securities  portfolio.  During 2000, we will continue to offer residential fixed
rate loan  products to our  customers  to meet  customer  demand.  We  primarily
originate  fixed  rate  loans for sale in the  secondary  market  and price them
accordingly to create loan servicing  income and to increase  opportunities  for
originating  adjustable  rate  mortgages.  However,  we may originate fixed rate
loans for investment when funded with long-term funds to mitigate  interest rate
risk and small volumes to facilitate  the sale of real estate  acquired  through
foreclosure  or that  meet  certain  yield and other  approved  guidelines.  See
Business--Banking  Activities--Lending  Activities--Secondary Marketing and Loan
Servicing Activities on page 5.

     We are  better  protected  against  rising  interest  rates with a positive
six-month  gap.  However,  we remain  subject to possible  interest  rate spread
compression,  which would  adversely  impact our net interest income if interest
rates rise.  This is primarily due to the lag in the repricing of the indices to
which our adjustable rate loans and mortgage-backed securities are tied, as well
as the repricing frequencies and periodic interest rate caps on these adjustable
rate loans and  mortgage-backed  securities.  The amount of such  interest  rate
spread compression would depend upon the frequency and severity of such interest
rate fluctuations.

     In  addition  to  measuring  interest  rate  risk  via a gap  analysis,  we
establish limits on, and measure the sensitivity of, our net interest income and
net portfolio value to changes in interest rates.  Changes in interest rates are
defined as instantaneous and sustained  movements in interest rates in 100 basis
point increments. We utilize an internally maintained asset/liability management
simulation  model to make the  calculations  which,  for net portfolio value, is
calculated on a discounted cash flow basis.  First, we estimate our net interest
income for the next twelve months and the current net portfolio  value  assuming
no change in  interest  rates from those at period  end.  Once the base case has
been estimated, we make calculations for each of the defined changes in interest
rates, to include any associated differences in the anticipated prepayment speed
of loans.  We then compare those results  against the base case to determine the
estimated  change to net  interest  income  and net  portfolio  value due to the
changes in  interest  rates.  The  following  are the  estimated  impacts to net
interest  income and net portfolio  value from various  instantaneous,  parallel
shifts in interest  rates  based upon our asset and  liability  structure  as of
year-ends  1999  and  1998.   Since  we  base  these   estimates  upon  numerous
assumptions,  like the expected  maturities of our  interest-bearing  assets and
liabilities  and the shape of the  period-end  interest  rate yield  curve,  our
actual  sensitivity to interest rate changes could vary  significantly if actual
experience differs from those assumptions used in making the calculations.

(1)  Expected maturities are contractual  maturities adjusted for prepayments of
     principal.  We use a number of  assumptions  to  estimate  fair  values and
     expected   maturities.   For  assets,  we  base  expected  maturities  upon
     contractual  maturity,  projected  repayments and prepayments of principal.
     The  prepayment  experience  reflected  herein  is based on our  historical
     experience.  Our average  constant  prepayment rate ("CPR") is 10.9% on our
     fixed-rate  and  19.2%  on  our  adjustable  rate  mortgage  portfolio  for
     interest-earning assets, excluding investment securities, which do not have
     prepayment features.  For deposit liabilities,  in accordance with standard
     industry practice and our own historical experience, we have applied "decay
     factors,"  used to estimate  deposit  runoff,  of 20% per year.  The actual
     maturities  of  these  instruments  could  vary   substantially  if  future
     prepayments differ from our historical experience.

     The year-end  weighted  average  yield on our loan  portfolio  decreased to
7.67% at December 31, 1999,  from 7.72% at year-end 1998.  The weighted  average
rate on new loans  originated  during 1999 was 5.92%,  compared to 6.45%  during
1998 and 6.04% during 1997.  Although  interest rates increased  during 1999, we
experienced  a  decline  in  rates  on new  loans  primarily  due to the  higher
proportion of residential  one-to-four  unit adjustable rate loans originated at
low introductory rates than in prior years. At December 31, 1999, our adjustable
rate  mortgage  portfolio  of  single  family   residential   loans,   including
mortgage-backed securities, totaled $7.3 billion with a weighted average rate of
7.52%,  compared  to $4.3  billion  with a  weighted  average  rate of  7.53% at
December  31, 1998 and $4.5  billion  with a weighted  average  rate of 7.58% at
December 31, 1997.

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,  real estate  acquired in
settlement of loans and repossessed  automobiles.  Non-performing assets totaled
$39 million at December 31, 1999,  compared to $27 million at December 31, 1998,
and $52 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in our non-performing  assets
during 1999 was primarily  attributed to one-to-four unit  residential  subprime
loans. When measured as a percentage of total assets, our non-performing  assets
fell to 0.42% at year-end  1999  compared to 0.44% at year-end 1998 and 0.89% at
year-end 1997.

     It is our policy to take  appropriate,  timely and  aggressive  action when
necessary to resolve  non-performing assets. When resolving problem loans, it is
our policy to determine  collectibility  under various  circumstances  which are
intended to result in our  maximum  financial  benefit.  We  accomplish  this by
either working with the borrower to bring the loan current or by foreclosing and
selling the asset. We perform  ongoing reviews of loans that display  weaknesses
and maintain  adequate  loss  allowances  on the loans.  For a discussion on our
internal  asset review  policy,  refer to Allowance for Losses on Loans and Real
Estate on page 51.

     All but $4.3 million of our non-performing assets at December 31, 1999 were
located in California.

     We evaluate the need for appraisals for non-performing assets on a periodic
basis.  We will generally  obtain a new appraisal when we believe that there may
have  been an  adverse  change in the  property  operations  or in the  economic
conditions  of the  geographic  market of the property  securing our loans.  Our
policy is to obtain new  appraisals  at least  annually  for major  real  estate
acquired in settlement of loans. Throughout 1999, we obtained new appraisals for
non-performing loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans.

     Non-Accrual  Loans.  It is our  general  policy  to  account  for a loan as
non-accrual  when the loan  becomes 90 days  delinquent  or when  collection  of
interest  appears  doubtful.  In a number of cases,  loans may remain on accrual
status  past 90 days when we  determine  that  continued  accrual  is  warranted
because the loan is  well-secured  and in process of collection.  As of December
31, 1999, we had no loans 90 days or more  delinquent  which remained on accrual
status.  We reverse and charge against  interest income any interest  previously
accrued with respect to  non-accrual  loans.  We  recognize  interest  income on
non-accrual  loans to the extent that we receive payments and to the extent that
we believe we will  recover  the  remaining  principal  balance of the loan.  We
restore these loans to an accrual  status only if all past due payments are made
by the borrower and the  borrower  has  demonstrated  the ability to make future
payments of principal  and  interest.  At December 31, 1999,  non-accrual  loans
aggregating  $9  million  were less than 90 days  delinquent  relative  to their
contractual   terms.   Additional   loans   aggregating   $1  million  were  not
contractually  past  due,  but  were  deemed  non-accrual  due  to  management's
assessment of the borrower's ability to pay.

     Impaired Loans. We consider a loan to be impaired when,  based upon current
information  and  events,  we believe it is  probable  that we will be unable to
collect  all  amounts  due  according  to the  contractual  terms  of  the  loan
agreement.  We carry  impaired  loans at either the  present  value of  expected
future cash flows  discounted at the loan's  effective  interest rate, or at the
loan's observable market price or the net fair value of the collateral  securing
the loan.  Impaired  loans exclude large groups of smaller  balance  homogeneous
loans that we

                                       25
<PAGE>


collectively  evaluate for impairment.  For us, loans we collectively review for
impairment  include all single  family  loans and  performing  multi-family  and
non-residential loans having principal balances of less than $1 million.

     In determining impairment, we consider large non-homogeneous loans with the
following characteristics: non-accrual loans, debt restructurings and performing
loans which exhibit, among other  characteristics,  high loan-to-value ratios or
delinquent taxes. We base the measurement of collateral dependent impaired loans
on the fair value of the loan's collateral.  We value  non-collateral  dependent
loans  based on a present  value  calculation  of  expected  future  cash flows,
discounted  at the loan's  effective  rate.  We generally  use cash  receipts on
impaired  loans not  performing  according  to  contractual  terms to reduce the
carrying  value of the loan,  unless we believe we will  recover  the  remaining
principal balance of the loan. We include impairment losses in the allowance for
loan  losses  through  a  charge  to  provision  for  loan  losses.  We  include
adjustments  to  impairment  losses  due to  changes  in the  fair  value of the
collateral of impaired loans in provision for loan losses.  Upon  disposition of
an  impaired  loan,  we record loss of  principal  through a  charge-off  to the
allowance  for loan losses.  At December 31, 1999,  the recorded  investment  in
loans for which we have  recognized  impairment  totaled $13 million,  unchanged
from December 31, 1998.  The total  allowance for losses  related to these loans
was $1 million  for both  December  31, 1999 and 1998.  For further  information
regarding impaired loans, see Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated  Financial
Statements on page 74.


     A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses  associated with
impaired  loans  is  shown  below  for the  years  indicated.  We have  recorded
provisions  and  reductions  to  the  allowance   associated   with  changes  in
classification  of  loans  as  impaired  and  reductions  due to loan  principal
payments.

     Troubled  Debt  Restructurings.  We  consider a  restructuring  of a debt a
troubled debt  restructuring  when we, for economic or legal reasons  related to
the borrower's financial  difficulties,  grant a concession to the borrower that
we would not otherwise grant.  Troubled debt restructurings may include changing
repayment  terms,  reducing the stated  interest rate or reducing the amounts of
principal and/or interest due or extending the maturity date. The  restructuring
of a loan is intended to recover as much of our  investment  as possible  and to
achieve the highest yield possible.  There were no troubled debt  restructurings
on accrual status at either December 31, 1999 or 1998.

     Real  Estate  Acquired in  Settlement  of Loans.  Real  estate  acquired in
settlement of loans  consists of real estate  acquired  through  foreclosure  or
deeds in lieu of foreclosure and totaled $6 million at December 31, 1999.

DELINQUENT LOANS

     When a borrower fails to make required payments on a loan and does not cure
the  delinquency  within 60 days,  we  normally  record a notice of  default  to
commence  foreclosure  proceedings,  so long as we have given any required prior
notice to the borrower.  If the loan is not reinstated within the time permitted
by law for reinstatement, which is normally five business days prior to the date
set for the  non-judicial  trustee's  sale,  we may then sell the  property at a
foreclosure  sale. If we have elected to pursue a non-judicial  foreclosure,  we
are not  permitted  under  applicable  California  law to  obtain  a  deficiency
judgment against the borrower,  even if the security property is insufficient to
cover the balance owed. At these  foreclosure  sales, we generally acquire title
to the property.

     At December 31, 1999,  loans  delinquent 30 days or more as a percentage of
total loans was 0.58%,  down from 0.65% at  year-end  1998 and 0.79% at year-end
1997. Although total loan delinquencies  declined in 1999,

                                       26
<PAGE>

subprime residential loan delinquencies increased from 0.34% at year-end 1998 to
1.15% at year-end  1999. A higher  incidence of delinquency is expected on these
subprime   loans  as,  by  definition,   these   borrowers  have  a  history  of
delinquencies  and that is why higher  interest rates are charged on these loans
to compensate for that risk. In addition, the loan-to-value ratio on these loans
is generally lower thereby providing more equity protection against loss.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES ON LOANS AND REAL ESTATE

     We  maintain a valuation  allowance  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. A key component to our evaluation is
our internal asset review process.

     Our  Internal  Asset  Review  Department  conducts  independent  reviews to
evaluate  the risk and  quality of all our assets.  Our  Internal  Asset  Review
Committee  is  responsible  for the review  and  classification  of assets.  The
Internal Asset Review Committee  members include the Chief Internal Asset Review
Officer,  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Chief Operating  Officer,  Chief Financial
Officer,  Chief Lending Officer,  General Counsel,  Director of  Compliance/Risk
Management,  Credit Administrator and Chief Appraiser. The Internal Asset Review
Committee meets quarterly to review and to determine asset  classifications  and
to recommend any changes to asset  valuation  allowances.  With the exception of
payoffs or asset sales, the classification of an asset, once established, can be
removed or upgraded only upon approval of the Internal  Asset Review  Committee.
The Chief Internal Asset Review Officer reports quarterly to the Audit Committee
of the Board of  Directors  regarding  overall  asset  quality,  the adequacy of
valuation  allowances  on  classified  assets and our  adherence to policies and
procedures regarding asset classification and valuation.


     We adhere to an internal asset review system and loss allowance methodology
designed  to provide  for timely  recognition  of  problem  assets and  adequate
general valuation allowances to cover asset losses. Our current asset monitoring
process  includes  the use of asset  classifications  to  segregate  the assets,
largely loans and real estate, into various risk categories.  We use the various
asset classifications as a means of measuring risk for determining the valuation
allowance at a point in time.  We  currently  use a six grade system to classify
our assets. The current grades are:


     o    pass;

     o    watch;

     o    special mention;

     o    substandard;

     o    doubtful; and

     o    loss.

     We consider  substandard,  doubtful and loss assets "classified assets" for
regulatory purposes. A brief description of these classifications follows:

     o    The pass  classification  represents a level of credit  quality  which
          contains no well-defined deficiency or weakness.

     o    The watch  classification  is used to identify an asset that currently
          contains no well-defined  deficiency or weakness, but it is determined
          to  be  desirable  to  closely  monitor  the  asset--e.g.,   loans  to
          facilitate  the sale of real estate  acquired in  settlement of loans.
          This  category  may  also be  used  for  assets  upgraded  from  lower
          classifications where continuing monitoring is deemed appropriate.

     o    A special  mention asset does not currently  expose us to a sufficient
          degree of risk to warrant an adverse classification,  but does possess
          a correctable  deficiency or potential weakness deserving management's
          close attention.

     o    Substandard  assets have a well-defined  weakness or weaknesses.  They
          are  characterized  by the distinct  possibility  that we will sustain
          some loss if we do not correct the deficiencies.

     o    An asset classified  doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in those
          classified   substandard  with  the  added   characteristic  that  the
          weaknesses  make  collection or  liquidation  in full, on the basis of
          currently existing facts,  conditions and values,  highly questionable
          and improbable.  We consider doubtful to be a temporary classification
          until resolution of pending weakness issues enables us to more clearly
          define the potential for loss.

     o    That   portion  of  an  asset   classified   as  loss  is   considered
          uncollectible and of so little value that its continuance as an asset,
          without  establishment  of a  specific  valuation  allowance,  is  not
          warranted.  A

                                       29
<PAGE>

          loss  classification  does not mean  that an asset has  absolutely  no
          recovery or salvage  value,  but rather it is not  reasonable to defer
          writing off or  providing  for all or a portion of an  impaired  asset
          even though  partial  recovery may be effected in the future.  We will
          generally  classify  as loss the  balance of the asset that is greater
          than the net fair value of the asset unless we can expect payment from
          another source.  Therefore,  the amount of an asset classified as loss
          reflects the total of specific  valuation  allowances  established for
          the particular asset. Specific valuation allowances are not includable
          in determining the Bank's total regulatory capital.

     The  OTS  has  the   authority   to   require   us  to  change   our  asset
classifications.  If the change results in an asset being classified in whole or
in part as loss, a specific allowance must be established  against the amount so
classified  or that  amount  must be  charged  off.  OTS  guidelines  set  forth
quantitative benchmarks as a starting point for the determination of appropriate
levels of general valuation allowances. The OTS directs its examiners to rely on
management's  estimates of adequate general  valuation  allowances if the Bank's
process for determining adequate allowances is deemed to be sound.


     Our policy is to provide an  allowance  for losses on loans and real estate
when it is probable  that the value of the asset has been  impaired and the loss
can be reasonably  estimated.  To comply with this policy, we have established a
monitoring  system  that  requires  at least an annual  review of all  assets in
excess of $1 million and a semiannual review of all assets considered  adversely
classified or  criticized.  The monitoring  system  requires a review of current
operating  statements,   an  evaluation  of  the  property's  current  and  past
performance,   an  evaluation  of  the  borrower's  ability  to  repay  and  the
preparation  of a  discounted  cash flow  analysis.  Based on the results of the
review, we may require a new appraisal.

     We utilize the asset classifications from our internal asset review process
in the following manner to determine the amount of our allowances:

     o    General valuation  allowances:  This element relates to assets with no
          well-defined  deficiency or weakness (i.e.,  assets classified pass or
          watch) and takes into  consideration  loss that is imbedded within the
          portfolio but has not yet been  realized.  Generally,  we believe that
          borrowers  are  impacted  by  events  well in  advance  of a  lender's
          knowledge  that may  ultimately  result in loan  default and  eventual
          loss. Examples of such loss-causing events would be borrower job loss,
          divorce or medical crisis in the case of single family residential and
          consumer  loans,  or loss of a major tenant in the case of  commercial
          real estate loans.  General  valuation  allowances  are  determined by
          applying factors that take into consideration past loss experience and
          asset  duration  for each  major  asset type to the  associated  asset
          balance.

     o    Allocated allowances: This element relates to assets with well-defined
          deficiencies or weaknesses (i.e.,  assets classified  special mention,
          substandard,  doubtful or loss). We calculate on an ongoing basis loss
          by credit classification for each major asset type. Factors based upon
          those loss  statistics are applied against  current  classified  asset
          balances to determine the amount of allocated allowances.  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.

     o    Unallocated allowance: This element 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.

     Our  provision  for loan losses was $11.3  million in 1999, up $7.4 million
from 1998. The provision for loan losses  exceeded net loan  charge-offs by $6.8
million  resulting  in an  increase  in the  allowance  for loan losses to $38.3
million at December 31, 1999.  The allowance  increase  reflected an increase of
$6.2 million in general  valuation  allowances to $30.6 million due primarily to
the increase during the year in the overall  one-to-four  unit  residential loan
portfolio, while allocated allowances increased $0.6 million to $4.9 million due
primarily to an increase in loans classified substandard. There was no change in
the unallocated  allowance.  During 1998, our provision for loan losses was less
than net  loan  charge-offs  by $0.6  million  resulting  in a  decrease  in the
allowance for loan losses to $31.5 million at December 31, 1998.  The decline in
the  allowance  reflected a decline of $1.6 million in allocated  allowances  to
$4.3 million due to a decline in loans  classified  substandard.  The decline in
allocated   allowances  more  than  offset  an  increase  in  general  valuation
allowances. General valuation

                                       30

allowances  increased $1.0 million to $24.4 million due to increases during 1998
in most major loan categories. There was no change in the unallocated allowance.

     Net loan  charge-offs  were $4.4 million in 1999, down from $4.5 million in
1998 and $6.6 million in 1997.  Net  charge-offs in 1998 included a $1.4 million
recovery from the previously mentioned settlement.  Excluding that recovery, net
loan  charge-offs  would  have  declined  by  $1.5  million  in  1999  primarily
reflecting  declines of $1.0 million in net charge-offs of automobile  loans and
$0.3 million in net  charge-offs  of one-to-four  unit  residential  loans.  The
decline in automobile loan net charge-offs reflects an improvement in the credit
quality of the portfolio combined with improved collection methods. The ratio of
automobile  net  charge-offs  to the  average of these  loans was 1.05% in 1999,
compared to 1.40% in 1998 and 1.58% in 1997. Gross charge-offs, gross recoveries
and net charge-offs by category of loan are as follows for the years indicated.

     The following  table is a summary of the activity in our allowance for real
estate held for investment for the years indicated.  The provision reductions in
all years were, in general,  due to a continuing  improvement in the real estate
market which favorably impacted the valuation of certain  neighborhood  shopping
center investments and to a reduction in the investment in certain joint venture
investments.  In 1998, $4.3 million of the provision  reduction and $7.1 million
of charge-offs related to the previously mentioned settlement.

     In addition to losses  charged  against the allowance  for loan losses,  we
have  recorded  losses on real estate  acquired in settlement of loans by direct
write-off to net  operations of real estate  acquired in settlement of loans and
against an allowance for losses specifically established for these assets. As of
September  30, 1999, we are no longer  maintaining  an allowance for real estate
acquired in  settlement of loans as we record the related  individual  assets at
the  lower  of cost or fair  value.  The  following  table is a  summary  of the
activity of our  allowance  for real estate  acquired in settlement of loans for

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

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

     Our primary sources of funds generated during 1999 were from:

     o    principal   repayments--including   prepayments,   but  excluding  our
          refinances  of  our  existing  loans--on  loans  and   mortgage-backed
          securities of $1.7 billion;

     o    a net deposit inflow of $1.5 billion, of which certificate of deposits
          represented $1.3 billion of the total;

     o    a net increase in borrowings of $1.4 billion; and

     o    net  proceeds  related to the issuance of capital  securities  of $115
          million.

We used these funds  primarily to originate  loans held for  investment  of $4.9
billion.

     To the  extent  2000  deposit  growth  falls  short of  satisfying  ongoing
commitments to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits,  repay borrowings,  fund
existing  and future  loan and other  investment  commitments,  continue  branch
improvement  programs and maintenance of regulatory liquidity  requirements,  we
will utilize borrowing arrangements with the FHLB and other sources. At December
31,  1999,  we  had  commitments  to  fund  loans  amounting  to  $607  million,
undisbursed  loan funds and unused lines of credit of $209 million,  commitments
to purchase investment securities of $15 million,  commitments to purchase loans
and mortgage-backed  securities of $14 million, and other contingent liabilities
of $2 million.  We believe  our current  sources of funds will enable us to meet
these obligations while maintaining our liquidity at appropriate levels.

     The principal  measure of liquidity in the savings and loan industry is the
regulatory  ratio of cash and eligible  investments  to the sum of  withdrawable
savings  and  borrowings  due within one year.  Federal  regulators  reduced the
minimum  liquidity ratio in 1997 from 5% to 4%. At December 31, 1999, the Bank's
ratio was 4.2%  compared to 4.0% at December 31, 1998,  and 4.8% at December 31,
1997.

     Downey  currently  has liquid  assets,  including  due from  Bank--interest
bearing  balances,  of $13  million  and can  obtain  further  funds by means of
dividends  from  subsidiaries,  subject to certain  limitations,  or issuance of
further debt or equity.

REGULATORY CAPITAL COMPLIANCE

     The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank's  stockholder's equity
to federal  regulatory  capital as of December 31,  1999.  The core and tangible
capital  ratios were 6.27% and the  risk-based  capital ratio was 12.14%.  These
levels are down slightly from  comparable  ratios of 6.83% for core and tangible
capital and 12.88% for risk-based  capital at December 31, 1998, but continue to
exceed  the  "well  capitalized"  standards  of 5.00%  for core and  10.00%  for
risk-based,  as defined by  regulation.  During  1999,  the amount of the Bank's
non-includable investment in real estate required to be deducted from regulatory
capital increased by $4 million due primarily to DSL Service Company's growth in
retained earnings.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUE

     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  a number of  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 specific  conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated as:

     o    a hedge of the  exposure to changes in the fair value of a  recognized
          asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment;

     o    a hedge  of the  exposure  to  variable  cash  flows  of a  forecasted
          transaction; or

     o    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.

                                       35
<PAGE>


     As part of our secondary marketing activities,  we utilize forward sale and
purchase  contracts  to hedge the  value of loans  originated  for sale  against
adverse  changes in  interest  rates.  At December  31,  1999,  sales  contracts
amounted to approximately $210 million.  These contracts have a high correlation
to the price  movement of the loans being  hedged.  There is no  recognition  of
unrealized gains and losses on these contracts in the balance sheet or statement
of income.  When the related loans are sold, we recognize the deferred  gains or
losses from these  contracts  in our  statement  of income as a component of net
gains or losses on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities.

     This  statement  is  effective  for all  fiscal  quarters  of fiscal  years
beginning after June 15, 2000. We do not anticipate that the financial impact of
this statement will have a material impact on us.

YEAR 2000

     Downey was  successful in its four phase approach to the year 2000 computer
compliance  project.  The  year-end  transition  from  1999 to year 2000 has not
presented  any issues to date.  Although  considered  unlikely,  Downey could be
affected by third party systems that were not as well prepared.  Management will
continue to monitor the  situation and take action as necessary to remediate any
problems  which  might  occur and  ensure all  business  processes  continue  to
function properly.

     We estimate  that year 2000 project  costs will  approximate  $6.3 million.
This cost is in addition to existing personnel who have been working on the year
2000 compliance  project.  Approximately 50% of the year 2000 compliance project
cost represents costs to migrate to a new personal  computer  environment and to
replace  specific  older  automated  teller  machines,  both of  which  we might
otherwise have  implemented or replaced  during the period  notwithstanding  the
year 2000 issue.  Thus,  that portion of year 2000 costs will be amortized  over
the useful life of the equipment. Of the estimated total expense,  approximately
$4.6 million was incurred through 1999.

     The table below  summarizes  by year the estimated  amount and  anticipated
timing of the planned year 2000 expense.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On January 21,  2000,  the Bank signed a  definitive  agreement to sell its
indirect automobile finance  subsidiary,  Downey Auto Finance Corp., to Auto One
Acceptance  Corp.,  a subsidiary of California  Federal Bank. The sale closed on
February 29,  2000.  Downey Auto Finance  Corp.'s  loan  portfolio  totaled $366
million at December 31, 1999. The proceeds from the sale will provide additional
capital to further the growth of our residential lending business.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Downey Financial Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Downey Financial
Corp.  and  subsidiaries  ("Downey")  as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,  and the
related consolidated statements of income,  comprehensive income,  stockholders'
equity  and cash  flows for each of the  years in the  three-year  period  ended
December  31,   1999.   These   consolidated   financial   statements   are  the
responsibility  of  Downey's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Downey Financial
Corp.  and  subsidiaries  as of December  31, 1999 and 1998,  and the results of
their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year
period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

DOWNEY FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Principles of Consolidation

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Downey  Financial  Corp.  and
     subsidiaries  ("Downey") include all accounts of Downey Financial Corp. and
     the consolidated accounts of all subsidiaries, including Downey Savings and
     Loan Association,  F.A. (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany balances
     and transactions have been eliminated.

     Business

     Downey  provides a full  range of  financial  services  to  individual  and
     corporate   customers   through   subsidiaries   and  branches  located  in
     California.   Downey  is  subject  to  competition   from  other  financial
     institutions.  Downey is subject to the regulations of certain governmental
     agencies  and  undergoes   periodic   examinations   by  those   regulatory
     authorities.

     Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
     generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  In preparing the consolidated
     financial  statements,   management  is  required  to  make  estimates  and
     assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities as
     of the dates of the balance  sheets and the results of  operations  for the
     periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

     Material estimates that are particularly  susceptible to significant change
     in the  near-term  relate to the  determination  of the  allowance for loan
     losses and the  valuation  of real  estate.  Management  believes  that the
     allowances  established  for losses on loans and real estate are  adequate.
     While  management uses available  information to recognize  losses on loans
     and real estate,  future additions to the allowances may be necessary based
     on  changes  in  economic  conditions.  In  addition,   various  regulatory
     agencies,  as an integral part of their examination  process,  periodically
     review  Downey's  allowances  for  losses  on loans and real  estate.  Such
     agencies may require Downey to recognize  additions to the allowances based
     on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their
     examination.

     Downey  is   required   to  carry  its  loans  held  for  sale   portfolio,
     mortgage-backed  and investment  securities  available for sale  portfolio,
     real  estate  acquired  in  settlement  of loans and real  estate  held for
     investment  or under  development  at the lower of cost or fair value or in
     certain cases,  at fair value.  Fair value estimates are made at a specific
     point in time based upon relevant market  information and other information
     about  the  asset.  Such  estimates  related  to  the  mortgage-backed  and
     investment  securities  portfolios  include  published  bid  prices  or bid
     quotations received from securities dealers.  Fair value estimates for real
     estate  acquired in settlement of loans and real estate held for investment
     or under  development  is determined by current  appraisals  and,  where no
     active market exists for a particular  property,  discounting a forecast of
     expected cash flows at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of the  statements  of cash flows,  cash and cash  equivalents
     include  cash on hand,  amounts  due from  banks and  Federal  funds  sold.
     Generally, Federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

DOWNEY FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS---(Continued)

     Mortgage-backed Securities Purchased Under Resale Agreements, U.S. Treasury
     Securities and Agency Obligations,  Other Investment Securities,  Municipal
     Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities

     Downey has established  written guidelines and objectives for its investing
     activities. At the time of purchase of a mortgage-backed security purchased
     under resale agreement, U.S. Treasury security and agency obligation, other
     investment  security,  municipal  security or a  mortgage-backed  security,
     management  of Downey  designates  the security as either held to maturity,
     available  for  sale or held  for  trading  based  on  Downey's  investment
     objectives,   operational  needs  and  intent.  Downey  then  monitors  its
     investment  activities to ensure that those  activities are consistent with
     the established guidelines and objectives.

     Held to Maturity. Securities held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted
     for   amortization  of  premiums  and  accretion  of  discounts  which  are
     recognized in interest  income using the interest  method.  Mortgage-backed
     securities  represent  participating  interests in pools of long-term first
     mortgage loans  originated  and serviced by the issuers of the  securities.
     Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity are carried at unpaid principal
     balances,   adjusted  for  unamortized  premiums  and  unearned  discounts.
     Premiums and discounts on  mortgage-backed  securities are amortized  using
     the interest  method over the  remaining  period to  contractual  maturity,
     adjusted for anticipated prepayments.  It is the positive intent of Downey,
     and Downey has the ability, to hold these securities until maturity as part
     of its portfolio of long-term,  interest-earning  assets. If the cost basis
     of these  securities is determined to be other than  temporarily  impaired,
     the amount of the impairment is charged to operations.

     Available  for Sale.  Securities  available  for sale are  carried  at fair
     value.  Premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method over
     the  remaining  period  to  contractual   maturity  and,  in  the  case  of
     mortgage-backed   securities,   adjusted   for   anticipated   prepayments.
     Unrealized  holding gains and losses, or valuation  allowances  established
     for net  unrealized  losses,  are excluded  from earnings and reported as a
     separate   component  of   stockholders'   equity  as   accumulated   other
     comprehensive  income,  net of income taxes,  unless the security is deemed
     other than temporarily  impaired. If the security is determined to be other
     than  temporarily  impaired,  the  amount of the  impairment  is charged to
     operations.

     Realized  gains and losses on the sale of  securities  available  for sale,
     determined using the specific identification method and recorded on a trade
     date basis, are reflected in earnings.

     Held for Trading.  Securities held for trading are carried at market value.
     Realized and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in earnings.

     Loans Held for Sale

     Downey  identifies  those  loans  which  foreseeably  may be sold  prior to
     maturity.  These  loans  have  been  classified  as  held  for  sale in the
     Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recorded at the lower of amortized cost
     or market  value.  In  response  to  unforeseen  events  such as changes in
     regulatory  capital  requirements,  liquidity  shortfalls,  changes  in the
     availability  of sources of funds and excess loan demand by borrowers  that
     could not be controlled immediately by loan price changes,  Downey may sell
     loans which had been held for investment.  In such  occurrences,  the loans
     are transferred at amortized cost and the lower of cost or market method is
     then applied.

     Gains or Losses On Sales of Loans and Mortgage Servicing Assets

     Gains or losses on sales of loans  are  recognized  at the time of sale and
     are  determined by the  difference  between the net sales  proceeds and the
     allocated basis of the loans sold.  Effective January 1, 1997, Downey began
     capitalizing mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") acquired through either the
     purchase or origination of mortgage loans for sale or  securitization  with
     servicing rights retained. The total

                                       45
<PAGE>


DOWNEY FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS---(Continued)

     cost of the mortgage loans designated for sale is allocated to the MSRs and
     the mortgage  loans  without the MSRs based on their  relative fair values.
     The MSRs are included in other assets and as a component of gain on sale of
     loans.  The MSRs are  amortized  in  proportion  to and over the  estimated
     period  of net  servicing  income.  Such  amortization  is  reflected  as a
     component of loan servicing fees.

     The MSRs are  periodically  reviewed  for  impairment  based on their  fair
     value.  The fair value of the MSRs,  for the  purposes  of  impairment,  is
     measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on Downey's  estimated
     net servicing income, market prepayment rates and market-adjusted  discount
     rates. Impairment is measured on a disaggregated basis based on predominant
     risk   characteristics   of  the  underlying   mortgage  loans.   The  risk
     characteristics  used by Downey  for the  purposes  of  capitalization  and
     impairment  evaluation include loan type, interest rate tranche,  loan term
     and collateral type.  Impairment losses are recognized  through a valuation
     allowance,  with any associated  provision  recorded as a component of loan
     servicing fees.

     Derivative Financial Instruments

     As part of its secondary marketing activities, Downey utilizes forward sale
     contracts to hedge the value of loans  originated for sale against  adverse
     changes in interest rates.  These contracts have a high  correlation to the
     price  movement  of the loans  being  hedged.  There is no  recognition  of
     unrealized  gains and losses on these  contracts  in the  balance  sheet or
     statement of income. When the related loans are sold, the deferred gains or
     losses from these  contracts are recognized in the statement of income as a
     component  of net gains or  losses  on sales of loans  and  mortgage-backed
     securities.

     Loans Receivable Held for Investment

     Loans  receivable  are  recorded at cost,  net of discounts  and  premiums,
     undisbursed  loan  proceeds,  net deferred fees and costs and the allowance
     for loan losses.

     Interest  income on loans is  accrued  based on the  outstanding  principal
     amount of loans using the interest method.  Discounts and premiums on loans
     are amortized to income using the interest method over the remaining period
     to  contractual  maturity.  The  amortization  of discounts  into income is
     discontinued on loans that are contractually ninety days past due.

     Loan origination fees and related incremental direct loan origination costs
     are  deferred and  amortized  to income using the interest  method over the
     contractual  life of the  loans,  adjusted  for  actual  prepayments.  Fees
     received for a commitment to originate or purchase a loan or group of loans
     are deferred and, if the commitment is exercised,  recognized over the life
     of the  loan as an  adjustment  of  yield  or,  if the  commitment  expires
     unexercised,  recognized as income upon expiration of the  commitment.  The
     amortization  of deferred fees and costs is  discontinued on loans that are
     contractually ninety days past due.

     Accrued interest on loans that are  contractually  ninety days or more past
     due or when collection of interest appears  doubtful is generally  reversed
     and charged against interest income. Income is subsequently recognized only
     to the extent cash  payments  are  received  and the  principal  balance is
     expected to be recovered. Such loans are restored to an accrual status only
     if  the  loan  is  brought  contractually  current  and  the  borrower  has
     demonstrated the ability to make future payments of principal and interest.

     Allowance for Loan Losses


     The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount  management  deems
     adequate to cover inherent losses. Downey has implemented and adheres to an
     internal asset review system and loan loss allowance  methodology  designed
     to provide for the detection of problem assets and an adequate allowance to
     cover loan losses.  In determining the allowance for loan losses related to
     specific major loans (loans over

                                       46

DOWNEY FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

     $1 million),  management  evaluates  its  allowance on an  individual  loan
     basis,  including  an  analysis  of the  creditworthiness,  cash  flows and
     financial status of the borrower, and the condition and the estimated value
     of the  collateral.  Downey reviews all loans under $1 million by analyzing
     their  performance and composition of their collateral as a whole,  because
     of the relatively  homogeneous  nature of the  portfolios.  Given the above
     evaluations,  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  loans  with  no
     well-defined  deficiency or weakness and are determined by applying against
     such loans  factors for each major loan  category  that  consider past loss
     experience and loan  duration.  Allocated  allowances  relate to loans with
     well-defined  deficiencies  or weaknesses  and are generally  determined by
     loss  factors  that  consider  past loss  experience  for such loans or are
     determined  by the excess of the recorded  investment  in the loan over the
     fair value of the collateral,  where appropriate. The unallocated allowance
     is more  subjective  and is reviewed  quarterly to take into  consideration
     estimation  errors and other  factors  such as  prevailing  and  forecasted
     economic conditions.


     Downey considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information
     and  events,  it  believes  it is  probable  that  Downey will be unable to
     collect all  amounts due  according  to the  contractual  terms of the loan
     agreement.    In   determining    impairment,    Downey   considers   large
     non-homogeneous  loans  with  the  following  characteristics:  non-accrual
     loans, debt restructurings and performing loans which exhibit,  among other
     characteristics,  high  loan-to-value  ratios or delinquent  taxes.  Downey
     bases the  measurement of collateral  dependent  impaired loans on the fair
     value of the loan's collateral.  Non-collateral  dependent loans are valued
     based on a  present  value  calculation  of  expected  future  cash  flows,
     discounted at the loan's  effective  rate.  Cash receipts on impaired loans
     not performing  according to contractual terms are generally used to reduce
     the carrying value of the loan,  unless Downey believes it will recover the
     remaining principal balance of the loan.  Impairment losses are included in
     the  allowance  for loan  losses  through  a charge to  provision  for loan
     losses.  Adjustments to impairment  losses due to changes in the fair value
     of collateral of impaired  loans are included in provision for loan losses.
     Upon  disposition  of an  impaired  loan,  loss of  principal,  if any,  is
     recorded through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses.

     In the  opinion  of  management,  and in  accordance  with  the  loan  loss
     allowance  methodology,  the present  allowance is  considered  adequate to
     absorb estimable and probable loan losses.  Additions to the allowances are
     reflected in current operations. Charge-offs to the allowance are made when
     the loan is  considered  uncollectible  or is  transferred  to real  estate
     owned. Recoveries are credited to the allowance.

     For regulatory  capital  purposes,  the Bank's  general  allowance for loan
     losses is included to a limit of 1.25% of regulatory risk-weighted assets.

     Loan Servicing

     Downey  services  mortgage loans for  investors.  Fees earned for servicing
     loans owned by investors  are reported as income when the related  mortgage
     loan payments are collected. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as
     incurred.

     Investment in Real Estate and Joint Ventures

     Real estate held for  investment or under  development is held at the lower
     of cost (less  accumulated  depreciation) or fair value.  Costs,  including
     interest,  of  holding  real  estate  in  the  process  of  development  or
     improvement are  capitalized,  whereas costs relating to holding  completed
     property are expensed.  An allowance for losses is  established by a charge
     to operations if the carrying  value of a property  exceeds its fair value,
     including the consideration of disposition costs.

     Downey  utilizes  the  equity  method  of  accounting  for  investments  in
     non-controlled  joint ventures and the consolidation method for investments
     in controlled joint ventures. All intercompany profits are eliminated.

                                       47
<PAGE>


DOWNEY FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS---(Continued)

     Income from the sale of real estate is recognized principally when title to
     the property has passed to the buyer, minimum down payment requirements are
     met and the  terms of any  notes  received  by  Downey  satisfy  continuing
     investment requirements.  At the time of sale, costs are relieved from real
     estate projects on a relative sales value basis and charged to operations.

     Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

     Real estate  acquired  through  foreclosure  is initially  recorded at fair
     value (net of an  allowance  for  estimated  selling  costs and  delinquent
     property taxes) at the date of foreclosure,  and a writedown is recorded or
     a valuation  allowance is established  for any subsequent  declines in fair
     value.  All legal fees and direct costs,  including  foreclosure  and other
     related costs, are expensed as incurred.

     Premises and Equipment

     Buildings,  leasehold  improvements and furniture,  fixtures, and equipment
     are  carried  at cost,  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  amortization.
     Buildings and furniture,  fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the
     straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful lives of the assets.  The
     cost of leasehold  improvements is being amortized using the  straight-line
     method  over the shorter of the  estimated  useful life of the asset or the
     terms of the related leases.

     Impairment of Long-lived Assets

     Downey reviews long-lived assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles for
     impairment  whenever events or changes in  circumstances  indicate that the
     carrying  amount  of an asset  may not be  recoverable.  Recoverability  of
     assets to be held and used is  measured  by a  comparison  of the  carrying
     amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the
     asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired,  the impairment to be
     recognized  is measured by the amount by which the  carrying  amount of the
     assets  exceed the fair value of the  assets.  Assets to be disposed of are
     reported  at the lower of the  carrying  amount or fair value less costs to
     sell.

     Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

     Downey  enters into sales of  securities  under  agreements  to  repurchase
     ("reverse  repurchase  agreements").   Reverse  repurchase  agreements  are
     treated as financing  arrangements  and,  accordingly,  the  obligations to
     repurchase  the  securities  sold are reflected as  liabilities in Downey's
     consolidated financial statements.  The securities  collateralizing reverse
     repurchase  agreements  are delivered to several major  national  brokerage
     firms who arranged the  transactions.  These  securities  are  reflected as
     assets in Downey's consolidated  financial statements.  The brokerage firms
     may loan such  securities  to other  parties in the normal  course of their
     operations  and agree to return the  identical  securities to Downey at the
     maturity of the agreements.

     Income Taxes

     Downey  applies the asset and  liability  method of  accounting  for income
     taxes. The asset and liability method recognizes  deferred income taxes for
     the  tax  consequences  of  "temporary  differences"  by  applying  enacted
     statutory tax rates  applicable to future years to differences  between the
     financial  statement  carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets
     and  liabilities.  The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is
     recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

     Deferred tax assets are to be  recognized  for temporary  differences  that
     will result in deductible amounts in future years and for tax carryforwards
     if, in the  opinion  of  management,  it is more  likely  than not that the
     deferred tax assets will be realized.

     Stock Option Plan

     Downey  records  compensation  expense  on the  date of  grant  only if the
     current  market price of the  underlying  stock exceeded the exercise price
     rather than  recognizing  as expense over the vesting period the fair value
     of all stock-based  awards on the date of grant.  However,  Downey provides
     pro forma net income and pro forma net  income  per share  disclosures  for
     employee  stock option  grants made since 1995 as if the  fair-value of all
     stock-based  awards as of the grant date are recognized as expense over the
     vesting period.

     Per Share Information

     Two earnings per share ("EPS")  measures are presented.  Basic EPS excludes
     dilution   and  is  computed  by  dividing   income   available  to  common
     stockholders  by the weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding
     for the period.  Diluted EPS 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.

     Current Accounting Pronouncement

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

     SFAS 133  establishes  accounting  and reporting  standards for  derivative
     instruments,  including certain  derivative  instruments  embedded in other
     contracts,  (collectively  referred  to as  derivatives)  and  for  hedging
     activities.  It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
     assets or  liabilities  in the statement of financial  position and measure
     those  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.

     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.  Sales  contracts  amounted to
     approximately  $210 million at December 31, 1999.  These  contracts  have a
     high correlation to the price movement of the loans being hedged.  There is
     no  recognition  of unrealized  gains and losses on these  contracts in the
     balance sheet or statement of income.  When the related loans are sold, the
     deferred  gains or  losses  from  these  contracts  are  recognized  in the
     statement of income as a component of net gains or losses on sales of loans
     and mortgage-backed securities.

     This  statement  is  effective  for all  fiscal  quarters  of fiscal  years
     beginning  after June 15, 2000.  It is not  anticipated  that the financial
     impact of this statement will have a material impact on Downey.

(2)  BUSINESS COMBINATION

     During 1988, the Bank acquired  Butterfield  Savings and Loan  Association,
     FSA ("Butterfield") from the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation
     ("FSLIC") in a FSLIC assisted acquisition.

     Concurrent  with the  acquisition,  the Bank and the FSLIC  entered into an
     assistance agreement ("Butterfield Assistance Agreement") that provides for
     the  indemnification of the Bank against losses incurred on the disposal of
     certain  defined  covered assets and the  settlement of certain  unreserved
     preacquisition   liabilities  or  contingencies  reduced  by  tax  benefits
     associated with those expenses as defined.  Additionally,  the FSLIC agreed
     to provide yield  maintenance  assistance on certain  covered assets at the
     Federal  Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB")  Eleventh  District  Cost of Funds  Index
     ("COFI").  All such  amounts  received  are  nontaxable  under the Internal
     Revenue Code.

     All assets  subject to the  Butterfield  Assistance  Agreement were sold or
     repurchased  by the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC")  on
     December  29,  1995.  By its terms  the  Butterfield  Assistance  Agreement
     terminated on March 31, 1997.

     The Butterfield  Assistance  Agreement provides broad authority to the FDIC
     to conduct  audits.  A  compliance  audit was  competed by the FDIC for the
     period July 1, 1993 to June 30, 1996. A final post termination audit of the
     Butterfield Assistance Agreement by the FDIC remains to be completed.

     The aggregate amount of non-accrual loans receivable that are contractually
     past due 90 days or more as to principal or  interest,  in the  foreclosure
     process,  restructured,  or upon which interest collection is doubtful were
     $33 million and $22 million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
     There were no troubled debt restructurings on accrual status as of December
     31, 1999 and 1998.

     Interest due on non-accrual  loans, but excluded from interest income,  was
     approximately $1.1 million for 1999, $0.5 million for 1998 and $1.8 million
     for 1997.

     Downey has had,  and  expects in the  future to have,  transactions  in the
     ordinary  course of business with executive  officers,  directors and their
     associates  ("related parties") on substantially the same terms,  including
     interest  rates  and  collateral,  as  those  prevailing  at the  time  for
     comparable  transactions with other non-related parties. Those transactions
     neither involve more than the normal risk of collectibility nor present any
     unfavorable  features. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Bank had extended
     loans  to a  director  and his  associates  totaling  $27  million  and $26
     million,  respectively.  All such loans are  performing in accordance  with
     their loan terms.  Presented below is a summary of activity with respect to
     such loans for the years ending December 31, 1999 and 1998:

     servicing,  and included in demand deposits, were $5 million and $3 million
     at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     Mortgage  servicing rights of $29.3 million,  $7.3 million and $1.2 million
     related to loans sold with servicing  rights  retained were  capitalized in
     1999,  1998 and 1997,  respectively.  Mortgage  servicing  rights have been
     written  down to their fair value of $34.3  million,  $7.8 million and $2.0
     million at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Amortization of
     mortgage  servicing  rights was $3.1 million in 1999,  $0.7 million in 1998

     (1)  Included in these amounts are interest-bearing  joint venture advances
          with priority  interest  payments  from joint  ventures to DSL Service
          Company.
     (2)  The aggregate other partners' deficit of $6 million and $10 million at
          December  31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively,  represents  their  equity
          interest  in  the  accumulated  retained  earnings  (deficit)  of  the
          respective  joint  ventures.  Those  results  include not only the net
          profit on sales and the operating  results of the real estate  assets,
          but  depreciation  expense and funding  costs as well.  Except for any

          is compared to the  secured  notes  payable to the Bank and others and
          DSL Service Company's investment.  To the extent the fair value of the
          real estate  assets is less than the  aggregate  of those  amounts,  a
          provision  is made to  create a  valuation  allowance.  There  were no
          allowances at December 31, 1999,  and $1 million at December 31, 1998.
          These valuation  allowances are less than the other partners'  deficit
          as the fair value of the real estate  assets of certain  joint venture
          partnerships  in  which  the  other  partners'  equity  was a  deficit
          exceeded  the amount of third party  notes and DSL  Service  Company's
          investment  thereby  eliminating  the need for a  valuation  allowance
          since the sale of the real estate  would allow DSL Service  Company to
          realize its investment and provide a profit to the partners.

     The Small  Business Job  Protection Act of 1996 repealed the reserve method
     of accounting  for bad debts by savings  institutions  for years  beginning
     after 1995. Under prior law, savings  associations  calculated additions to
     reserves  using either a  percentage-of-taxable-income  or historical  loan
     loss experience. The new law allows deductions for bad debts only when such
     debts are actually  charged off against income (the  "specific  charge-off"
     method).  Downey  calculated its bad debt deduction for 1999, 1998 and 1997
     under the specific charge-off method.

     Downey  made  income  tax  payments,  net of  refunds,  amounting  to $22.1
     million,   $52.8  million  and  $23.6  million  in  1999,  1998  and  1997,
     respectively.

     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.

(19) CAPITAL SECURITIES

     On July 23, 1999,  Downey,  through Downey  Financial  Capital Trust I (the
     "Trust"),  issued $120 million in 10.00%  capital  securities.  The capital
     securities,  which  were  sold  in  a  public  underwritten  offering,  pay
     quarterly  cumulative cash distributions at an annual rate of 10.00% of the
     liquidation  value of $25 per share and are recorded as interest expense by
     Downey. The capital securities  represent undivided beneficial interests in
     the Trust,  which was  established by Downey for the purpose of issuing the
     capital  securities.  Downey owns all of the issued and outstanding  common
     securities  of the Trust.  Proceeds from the offering and from the issuance
     of  common   securities  were  invested  by  the  Trust  in  10.00%  Junior
     Subordinated  Deferrable  Interest Debentures due September 15, 2029 issued
     by  Downey  (the  "Junior  Subordinated  Debentures"),  with  an  aggregate
     principal amount of $124 million. The sole asset of the Trust is the Junior
     Subordinated  Debentures.  The obligations of the Trust with respect to the
     securities are fully and unconditionally  guaranteed by Downey. The payment
     of distributions on the capital securities may be deferred if Downey defers
     payments  of interest on the junior  subordinated  debentures.  Downey will
     have the right, on one or more occasions,  to defer payments of interest on
     the  junior  subordinated  debentures  for up to 20  consecutive  quarterly
     periods.  During the time Downey defers interest payments,  interest on the
     junior subordinated debentures will continue to accrue and distributions on
     the  capital  securities  will  continue  to  accumulate  and the  deferred
     interest and deferred  distributions  will themselves accrue interest at an
     annual rate of 10.00%,  compounded  quarterly,  to the extent  permitted by
     applicable  law.  Downey  invested  $108 million of the $115 million of net
     proceeds  from  the  sale of the  Junior  Subordinated  Debentures  (net of
     underwriting  discounts and  commissions  and other  offering  expenses) as
     additional  common  stock  of  the  Bank  thereby   increasing  the  Bank's
     regulatory core / tangible  capital by that amount.  The balance of the net
     proceeds have been used for general corporate purposes.

     Capital Distributions

     The OTS rules impose certain  limitations  regarding stock  repurchases and
     redemptions,  cash-out mergers and any other distributions  charged against
     an institution's capital accounts.  The payment of dividends by the Bank is
     subject  to OTS  regulations.  Inasmuch  as the Bank is owned by a  holding
     company,  the Bank is  required  to  provide  the OTS with a notice  before
     payment of any dividend.  Prior OTS approval is required,  however,  to the
     extent the Bank would not be considered well  capitalized  under the prompt
     corrective action  regulations of the OTS following the distribution or the
     amount of the dividend exceeds the Bank's retained net income for that year
     to date plus retained net income for the preceding two years.

     As of December  31,  1999,  the Bank had the capacity to declare a dividend
     totaling $110 million without obtaining prior OTS approval.

     Stock Dividend

     On April 22,  1998,  the Board of Directors  declared a five percent  stock

     stock payable on May 22, 1998 to stockholders of record on May 7, 1998. The
     stock  dividend  resulted in the issuance of  1,337,271  shares and the par
     value of the common stock remained at $0.01. Accordingly, $13,000 and $45.7
     million  were  transferred  from  retained  earnings  to  common  stock and
     additional paid-in-capital,  respectively.  On April 23, 1997, the Board of
     Directors  declared a five percent stock dividend on Downey's  common stock
     payable on May 22, 1997 to stockholders of record on May 8, 1997. The stock
     dividend  resulted in the issuance of 1,272,542 shares and the par value of
     the common stock remained at $0.01. Accordingly,  $13,000 and $23.0 million
     were  transferred  from  retained  earnings to common stock and  additional
     paid-in-capital,  respectively.  All share and per  share  data,  including
     stock  option  plan  information,   have  been  restated  to  reflect  this

     Employee Stock Option Plans

     During  1994,  the Bank  adopted and the  stockholders  approved the Downey
     Savings and Loan  Association  1994 Long Term  Incentive Plan (the "LTIP").
     The LTIP provides for the granting of stock appreciation rights, restricted
     stock,   performance  awards  and  other  awards.  The  LTIP  specifies  an
     authorization  of 434,110 shares  (adjusted for stock dividends and splits)
     of the Bank's common stock available for issuance under the LTIP. Effective
     January 23, 1995, Downey Financial Corp. and the Bank executed an amendment
     to the LTIP by which Downey  Financial Corp.  adopted and ratified the LTIP
     such that shares of Downey Financial Corp. shall be issued upon exercise of
     options  or  payment of other  awards,  for which  payment is to be made in
     stock, in lieu of the Bank's common stock.

     During 1999, no shares were granted under the LTIP, while in 1998,  120,335
     shares were granted.

     Options  outstanding  under  the  LTIP at  December  31,  1999 and 1998 are

     Under the LTIP,  options are exercisable over vesting periods  specified in
     each grant and, unless exercised, the options terminate between five or ten
     years from the date of the grant. Further, under the LTIP, the option price
     shall at least equal or exceed the fair market  value of such shares on the
     date the options are granted.

     At December  31,  1999,  100,344  options  were  exercisable  at a weighted
     average option price per share of $16.30, with 127,722 shares available for

     Downey measures its employee  stock-based  compensation  arrangements under
     the provisions of APB 25.  Accordingly,  no  compensation  expense has been
     recognized for the stock option plan. Had compensation expense for Downey's

(22) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     Retirement and Savings Plan

     In August 1993, Downey amended its profit sharing plan so that it qualifies
     as a profit  sharing and savings plan under Section  401(k) of the Internal
     Revenue Code ("the Plan"),  covering  substantially all salaried employees.
     Under the Plan,  employee  contributions  are partially  matched by Downey.
     Downey's  matching  contribution  is equal to 25% of an  employee's  pretax
     contributions which do not exceed 4% of the employee's annual compensation.
     In  addition,  Downey  makes an  annual  retirement  contribution  based on
     Downey's  net income and the  employee's  age,  vested years of service and
     salary.  Downey's  contributions to the Plan totaled $1.9 million for 1999,
     compared to $1.9 million in 1998 and $1.5 million in 1997.

     During 1995, Downey approved the implementation of a Deferred  Compensation
     Plan for key management employees and directors.  The Deferred Compensation
     Plan  is  considered  to  be  an  essential   element  in  a  comprehensive
     competitive benefits package designed to attract and retain individuals who
     contribute  to the success of Downey.  Participants  are  eligible to defer
     compensation  on a  pre-tax  basis,  including  director  fees,  and earn a
     competitive interest rate on the amounts deferred. Currently, 74 management
     employees and seven  directors are eligible to  participate in the program.
     During 1999,  25  management  employees  and one director  elected to defer
     compensation pursuant to the plan. Downey's expense related to the Deferred
     Compensation  Plan  has  been  less  than  $0.1  million  each  year  since
     inception.

     Group Benefit Plan

     Downey provides  certain health and welfare  benefits for active  employees
     under a cafeteria  plan ("the  Benefit  Plan") as defined by section 125 of
     the  Internal  Revenue  Code.  Under  the  Benefit  Plan,   employees  make
     appropriate  selections  as to the  type  of  benefits  and the  amount  of
     coverage desired. The benefits are provided through insurance companies and
     other health  organizations  and are funded by  contributions  from Downey,
     employees and retirees and include deductibles, co-insurance provisions and
     other  limitations.  Downey's  expense for health and welfare  benefits was
     $3.6  million,  $3.1  million  and $2.5  million  in 1999,  1998 and  1997,
     respectively.

(23) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Litigation

     Downey  has been  named as a  defendant  in legal  actions  arising  in the
     ordinary  course of business,  none of which, in the opinion of management,
     is material.

     Financial Instruments With Off-balance-sheet Risk

     Downey is a party to financial instruments with  off-balance-sheet  risk in
     the normal course of business to meet the financing  needs of its customers
     and to reduce its own exposure to  fluctuations  in interest  rates.  These
     financial  instruments  include commitments to originate fixed and variable
     rate  mortgage  loans,  letters  of  credit,  lines of credit  and loans in
     process.  The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the
     extent  of  involvement  Downey  has in  particular  classes  of  financial
     instruments.

     Downey uses the same credit  policies in making  commitments  to  originate
     loans,   lines  of   credit   and   letters   of  credit  as  it  does  for
     on-balance-sheet  instruments.  For  commitments  to  originate  fixed rate
     loans,  the  contract  amounts  represent  exposure  to  loss  from  market
     fluctuations as well as credit loss. Downey controls the credit risk of its
     commitments to originate fixed rate loans through credit approvals,  limits
     and monitoring procedures.

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

     Commitments  to  originate  fixed  and  variable  rate  mortgage  loans are
     agreements  to lend to a customer as long as there is no  violation  of any
     condition  established  in the contract.  Commitments  generally have fixed
     expiration dates or other termination  clauses and may require payment of a
     fee. Since some of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the
     total  commitment   amounts  do  not  necessarily   represent  future  cash
     requirements.  The credit  risk  involved  in issuing  lines and letters of
     credit  requires the same  creditworthiness  evaluation as that involved in
     extending loan  facilities to customers.  Downey  evaluates each customer's
     creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Undisbursed loan funds and unused
     lines  of  credit  include  home  equity  lines of  credit  and  funds  not
     disbursed,  but committed to  construction  and  commercial  lending by the
     Bank.

     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
     guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

     Downey receives  collateral to support  commitments for which collateral is
     deemed  necessary.  The most significant  categories of collateral  include
     real  estate  properties  underlying  mortgage  loans,  liens  on  personal
     property and cash on deposit with Downey.  At December 31, 1999, the extent
     of  collateral  supporting  mortgage and other loans varied from nothing to
     100% of the maximum credit exposure.

     In connection with its interest rate risk management,  Downey  occasionally
     enters into interest  rate  exchange  agreements  ("swap  contracts")  with
     certain national  investment  banking firms under terms that provide mutual
     payment of interest on the  outstanding  notional  amount of the swap.  The
     effect of these swaps serve to reduce  Downey's  interest rate risk between
     repricing assets and  liabilities.  At December 31, 1999, no swap contracts
     were outstanding.

(24) RISK MANAGEMENT

     Derivative  financial  instruments  are  utilized to minimize the effect of
     future  fluctuations  in interest rates 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 December 31, 1999, sales contracts amounted to $210 million.

(25) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Fair  value  estimates  are made at a  specific  point in time  based  upon
     relevant  market  information  and other  information  about the  financial
     instrument. The estimates do not necessarily reflect the price Downey might
     receive if it were to sell at one time its entire  holding of a  particular
     financial  instrument.  Because no active  market  exists for a significant
     portion of Downey's financial  instruments,  fair value estimates are based
     upon the following methods and assumptions, some of which are subjective in
     nature. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

     Cash, Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Resale Agreements

     The  carrying  amounts  reported  in the  balance  sheet  for  these  items
     approximate fair value.

     Investment   Securities   Including  U.S.  Treasuries  and  Mortgage-backed
     Securities

     Fair value is based upon bid prices  published in financial  newspapers  or
     bid quotations received from securities dealers.

     Loans Receivable

     For residential  mortgage loans,  fair value is estimated based upon market
     prices obtained from readily available market quote systems.  The remaining
     portfolio was  segregated  into those loans with variable rates of interest
     and those with fixed rates of interest.  For non-residential  variable rate
     loans which reprice  frequently,  fair values approximate  carrying values.
     For non-residential  fixed rate loans, fair values are based on discounting
     future contractual cash flows using the current rate offered for such loans
     with  similar  remaining   maturities  and  credit  risk.  The  amounts  so
     determined  for  each  category  of  loan  are  reduced  by the  associated
     allowance for loan losses which thereby takes into consideration changes in
     credit risk.

     Interest-bearing Advances to Joint Ventures

     The carrying amounts approximate fair value as the interest earned is based
     upon a variable rate.

     Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

     The carrying amounts approximate fair value.

     Mortgage Servicing Rights

     The fair value of MSRs related to loans  serviced for others is  determined
     by computing the present  value of the expected net  servicing  income from
     the portfolio.

     Deposits

     The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity such as regular passbook
     accounts,  money market  accounts and  checking  accounts,  is the carrying
     amount  reported in the balance  sheet.  The fair value of deposits  with a
     stated  maturity such as  certificates  of deposit is based on  discounting
     future contractual cash flows by the current rate offered for such deposits
     with similar remaining maturities.

     Borrowings

     For short-term borrowings, fair value approximates carrying value. The fair
     value  of   long-term   borrowings   is  based  on  their   interest   rate
     characteristics. For variable rate borrowings, fair values approximate

                                       72
<PAGE>


DOWNEY FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS---(Continued)

     carrying  values.  For  fixed  rate  borrowings,  fair  value  is  based on
     discounting  future contractual cash flows by the current rate paid on such
     borrowings with similar remaining maturities.

     Capital Securities

     Fair  value is based  upon  closing  stock  price  published  in  financial
     information services or newspapers.

     Off-balance-sheet Financial Instruments

     Outstanding  commitments  to sell  loans  and  mortgage-backed  securities,
     commitments  to purchase  mortgage-backed  securities,  standby  letters of
     credit  and  other   contingent   liabilities,   unused  lines  of  credit,
     commitments  to  originate   loans  and   mortgage-backed   securities  are
     essentially  carried at zero which  approximates fair value. See Note 23 on
     page 91, for  information  concerning the notional amount of such financial
     instruments.

     Based on the above methods and  assumptions,  the following  table presents
     the estimated fair value of Downey's financial instruments:

(26) BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING

     Downey  views  its  business  as  consisting  of  two  reportable  business
     segments--banking  and real estate investment.  The accounting  policies of
     the  segments  are the  same as  those  described  in  Note 1,  Summary  of
     Significant  Accounting  Policies on page 65. Downey evaluates  performance
     based  on the net  income  generated  by  each  segment.  Internal  expense
     allocations  between  segments  are  independently  negotiated  and,  where
     possible,  service  and  price  is  measured  against  comparable  services
     available in the external marketplace.

     The following describes the two business segments.

     Banking

     The principal business activities of this segment are attracting funds from
     the general public and institutions and originating and investing in loans,
     primarily   residential   real  estate  mortgage   loans,   mortgage-backed
     securities and investment securities.

     This segment's  primary  sources of revenue are interest earned on mortgage
     loans and mortgage-backed  securities,  income from investment  securities,
     gains on sales of loans  and  mortgage-backed  securities,  fees  earned in
     connection  with loans and deposits and income  earned on its  portfolio of
     loans and mortgage-backed securities serviced for investors.

     This segment's principal expenses are interest incurred on interest-bearing
     liabilities,   including   deposits   and   borrowings,   and  general  and
     administrative costs.

     Real Estate Investment

     Real  estate   development  and  joint  venture  operations  are  conducted
     principally through the Bank's wholly owned service corporation subsidiary,
     DSL Service Company.  However,  Downey Financial Corp. owned one investment
     in land which it purchased  from DSL Service  Company at fair value in 1995
     and sold in 1999.

     DSL Service Company participates as an owner of, or a partner in, a variety
     of  real  estate  development  projects,  principally  retail  neighborhood
     shopping center developments, most of which are located in California. Most
     of the  real  estate  development  projects  have  been  completed  and are
     substantially leased.

     In its joint  ventures,  DSL Service Company is entitled to interest on its
     equity invested in the project on a priority basis after  third-party  debt
     and shares profits and losses with the developer  partner,  generally on an
     equal basis.  Partnership equity (deficit) accounts are affected by current
     period  results of operations,  additional  partner  advances,  partnership
     distributions and partnership liquidations.

     This segment's  primary  sources of revenue are net rental income and gains
     from the sale of real estate investment  assets.  This segment's  principal
     expenses are interest expense and general and administrative expense.

(28) PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     Downey Financial Corp. was incorporated in Delaware on October 21, 1994. On
     January 23, 1995,  after  obtaining  necessary  stockholder  and regulatory
     approvals,   Downey  Financial  Corp.  acquired  100%  of  the  issued  and
     outstanding  capital stock of the Bank, and the Bank's  stockholders became
     stockholders of Downey Financial Corp. The transaction was accounted for in
     a  manner  similar  to  a  pooling-of-interests  under  generally  accepted
     accounting  principles.  Downey Financial Corp. was thereafter  funded by a
     $15 million  dividend  from the Bank.  Condensed  financial  statements  of
     Downey Financial Corp. only are as follows:
