We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of IndyMac/IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998, and reportable transactions for the year then ended, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Grant Thornton LLP Los Angeles, California June 11, 1999 1 IndyMac/IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits As of December 31, 1998 and 1997 Assets 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- Investments, at fair value: Shares of registered investment companies: Scudder Growth and Income Fund* $1,077,759 $ 673,628 Scudder International Fund* 424,775 235,606 Scudder Income Fund* 331,182 126,308 Scudder Cash Investment Trust* 370 26 IDS New Dimensions Fund 793,419 383,094 IDS Mutual Fund 390,014 185,266 Countrywide Institutional Government Income Fund 403,022 236,168 Countrywide Utility Fund 171,522 7,564 Countrywide Equity Fund 94,888 1,334 Countrywide Adjustable Rate U.S. Government Securities Fund 51,358 26,386 Countrywide Intermediate Term Government Income Fund 12,833 877 Scudder Stock Index Common Collective Trust* 1,029,408 499,832 Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc.

(the "Companies") established and adopted the IndyMac/IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of their eligible employees. The Plan was established to provide continuation of the benefits provided pursuant to the Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc. 401(k) Plan for participants who transferred employment from Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc. to IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. or IndyMac, Inc. and to provide retirement savings benefits to new employees of the Companies. The trustee of the Plan is Scudder Trust Company. The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of the Companies and provides for retirement, disability, death and termination benefits. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). CONTRIBUTIONS Each year, participants may contribute up to 16% of annual compensation to a maximum of $10,000 of pre-tax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans ("rollover contributions"). The Companies may determine, at their discretion, employer matching contributions to be made. Currently, the Companies contribute 75% of the first 3% of the participant's annual compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan and 25% of the second 3% of the participant's annual compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of the Companies' contributions and Plan earnings. Allocations are based upon the number of units of the Plan in each participant's account. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are applied as employer contributions made in advance, and reduce the Companies' future contributions. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account. VESTING Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Companies' contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. A participant vests at the rate of 20% per year until becoming fully vested after 5 years of service. 4 INVESTMENT OPTIONS Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions in any of fourteen investment options. Participants may then change their investment options at any time. Employer contributions are invested in the common stock of IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. until the participant is fully vested, at which time the participant may elect to transfer their balance in the common stock of IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. to any of the fourteen investment options. Current investment options are described below. SCUDDER GROWTH AND INCOME FUND - Monies are invested primarily in income-producing common and preferred stocks of growing established companies.

Loan transactions are treated as a transfer from (to) the investment fund to (from) the loan fund. Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are collateralized by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Benefits Committee. Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS On separation from service, a participant may elect to receive an amount equal to the vested value of his or her account through a lump-sum distribution. If the participant has invested in the pooled funds, he or she may elect to receive distributions of whole shares of the pooled funds with fractional shares paid in cash. FORFEITED ACCOUNTS At December 31, 1998 and 1997, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $18,132 and $6,153, respectively. These accounts will be used to reduce future employer contributions. NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - -------------------------------------- BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Common stocks are valued based upon the stock price at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year. The shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset values of underlying shares held by the Plan as of year-end. Money market funds and participant notes receivable are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 6 NOTE 3-INVESTMENTS - ------------------ The Plan's investments are held in a trust fund administered by Scudder Trust Company. The fair values of the following individual investments at December 31, 1998 represented 5% or more of the Plan's net assets as of January 1, 1998: Scudder Growth and Income Fund $1,077,759 Scudder International Fund 424,775 Scudder Income Fund 331,182 IDS New Dimensions Fund 793,419 IDS Mutual Fund 390,014 Countrywide Institutional Government Income Fund 403,022 Scudder Stock Index Common Collective Trust 1,029,408 Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc. Common Stock 1,479,486 IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Common Stock 730,504 NOTE 4-PLAN TERMINATION - ----------------------- Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Companies have the right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become fully vested in their accounts. NOTE 5-TAX STATUS - ----------------- The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated June 23, 1998 that the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the Plan is not subject to tax under present income tax law. The Benefits Committee is not aware of any course of action or events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status. NOTE 6-ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - ------------------------------ Fees for the investment management services for the Plan are paid by the Companies. These fees amounted to $13,828 for the year ended December 31, 1998. 7 Supplemental Schedules IndyMac/IndyMac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan Line 27a - Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes December 31, 1998 (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Identity of Issue, Borrower, Lessor or Similar Party Description of Investment Units/Shares Cost Current Value - ---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- ------------ ----------- ------------- Assets Shares of registered investment companies: Scudder Growth and Income Fund Mutual Fund 40,964 $ 1,129,976 $ 1,077,759 Scudder International Fund Mutual Fund 8,722 432,104 424,775 Scudder Income Fund Mutual Fund 25,014 338,654 331,182 Scudder Cash Investment Trust Mutual Fund 370 370 370 IDS New Dimensions Fund Mutual Fund 27,506 688,475 793,419 IDS Mutual Fund Mutual Fund 29,946 412,468 390,014 Countrywide Institutional Government Income Fund Mutual Fund 403,022 403,022 403,022 Countrywide Utility Fund Mutual Fund 9,707 155,301 171,522 Countrywide Equity Fund Mutual Fund 4,491 83,279 94,888 Countrywide Adjustable Rate U.S. Government Securities Fund Mutual Fund 5,333 52,181 51,358 Countrywide Intermediate Term Government Income Fund Mutual Fund 1,170 12,693 12,833 Scudder Stock Index Common Collective Trust Common Collective Trust 30,339 847,303 1,029,408 Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc.
