NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE (1) - BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of Downey Financial Corp. and subsidiaries ("Downey"), the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of Downey's financial condition as of March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1996, and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial operations and are in compliance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The following information under the heading Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations is written with the presumption that the interim consolidated financial statements will be read in conjunction with Downey's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, which contains among other things, a description of the business, the latest audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Position and Results of Operations as of December 31, 1996, and for the year then ended. Therefore, only material changes in financial condition and results of operations are discussed in the remainder of Part I. 4 NOTE (2) - STOCK DIVIDEND The Board of Directors announced on April 23, 1997, the declaration of a 5% stock dividend and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share. The cash dividend is payable on both existing shares outstanding as well as those to be issued as a result of the stock dividend, thereby effectively providing shareholders with a 5% cash dividend increase. Both the stock and cash dividend are payable on May 22, 1997, to stockholders of record on May 8, 1997. In lieu of fractional shares, stockholders will receive cash based on the record date closing price, adjusted to reflect the shares outstanding after the 5% stock dividend. Upon completion of the stock dividend, there will be approximately 26.7 million shares of common stock outstanding. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, per share computations are based on the number of shares outstanding adjusted for the stock dividend. NOTE (3) - TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES Downey adopted, effective January 1, 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS 125"). SFAS 125 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. Those standards are based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under that approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. SFAS 125 provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. SFAS 125 requires that liabilities and derivatives incurred or obtained by transferors as part of a transfer of financial assets be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It also requires that servicing assets and other retained interests in the transferred assets be measured by allocating the previous carrying amount between the assets sold, if any, and retained interests, if any, based on their relative fair values at the date of the transfer. SFAS 125 includes specific provisions to deal with servicing assets or liabilities. These provisions retain the impairment and amortization approaches that are contained in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an Amendment to FASB No. 65" but eliminates the distinction between normal and excess servicing. The adoption of SFAS 125 did not have a material financial impact on Downey. NOTE (4) - NET INCOME PER SHARE Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of outstanding shares and stock options deemed to be common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. 5 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE 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. Downey's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, competition in the geographic and business areas in which Downey conducts its operations, fluctuations in interest rates, credit quality and government regulation. OVERVIEW Net income for the first quarter of 1997 totaled $12.3 million, or $0.46 per share, up 16.7% from the $10.6 million, or $0.39 per share earned in the first quarter of 1996. The increase in net income between first quarters is impacted by special items in each period. The current quarter included the favorable impact of prior period interest income on a non-accrual loan repaid during the quarter and a gain from the sale of four joint venture shopping centers, partially reduced by the expense associated with the departure of the former chief executive officer. The net after-tax impact of those items was a benefit of $2.8 million, whereas the year-ago first quarter included an after-tax gain of $2.6 million from the sale of securities. Excluding those special items, net income would have been $9.5 million in the first quarter of 1997, up $1.4 million or 18.1% from the adjusted year-ago level. Excluding the above-mentioned special items, the increase in net income between first quarters primarily reflected an increase of $6.2 million in net interest income. The increase in net interest income was attributable to higher earning asset levels and an improvement in the effective interest spread. Partially offsetting the increase in net interest income were increases of $1.0 million in provision for loan losses and $2.9 million in general and administrative expense (excluding the previously mentioned expense associated with the departure of the former chief executive officer). The increase in general and administrative expense primarily reflected branch expansion, particularly into supermarket banking, and growth in auto lending. For the first quarter of 1997, the return on average assets was 0.93% and the return on average equity was 12.44%. Excluding the previously mentioned special items, the returns would have been 0.72% and 9.54%, respectively. At March 31, 1997, assets totaled $5.5 billion, up $832 million or 17.9% from a year ago. Single family loan originations totaled $432.6 million in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $189.3 million in the first quarter of 1996. Of the current quarter total, $20.1 million represented originations for portfolio of subprime credits ("A-," "B" and "C") as part of Downey's strategy to enhance the portfolio's net yield. In addition to single family loans, $97.3 million of other loans were originated in the quarter including $62.9 million of automobile loans and $25.9 million of construction loans. Non-performing assets declined $1.1 million during the quarter to $60.9 million or 1.11% of total assets. Based on rules in effect at March 31, 1997, Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A. (the "Bank") had core and tangible capital ratios of 6.54% and a risk-based capital ratio of 12.58%. These capital levels are well above the "well capitalized" standards of 5% and 10%, respectively, as defined by regulation. 6 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income totaled $38.1 million in the first quarter of 1997, up $7.2 million or 23.4% from the same period last year. The improvement between first quarters reflects an increase of 13.8% in average earning assets and a higher effective interest spread. The effective interest spread increased from 2.80% in the year-ago first quarter to 3.04% in the current quarter. Approximately 8 basis points or about one-third of the increase in the effective interest spread reflects the receipt of approximately $1.0 million of prior period interest on a non-accrual loan repaid during the quarter. On an adjusted basis, the effective interest spread was 2.96% in the first quarter, similar to the fourth quarter 1996 level. The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and resultant yields, the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant costs, expressed both in dollars and rates. The table also sets forth the net interest income, the interest rate spread and the effective interest spread. The effective interest spread, which reflects the relative level of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities, equals (i) the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, (ii) divided by average interest-earning assets for the period. The table also sets forth the net earning balance (the difference between the average balance of interest-earning assets and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities) for the periods indicated. Non-accrual loans are included in the average interest-earning assets balance. Interest from non-accrual loans is included in interest income only to the extent that payments are received and to the extent that Downey believes it will recover the remaining principal balance of the loan. Average balances for the quarter are computed using the average of each month's daily average balance during the period.

The increase primarily reflects growth in single family residential and automobile loans. For information regarding the allowance for loan losses, see "Asset Quality - Valuation Allowances" on page 20. OTHER INCOME Total other income was $11.0 million in the first quarter of 1997, up $1.2 million or 11.9% from the year-ago quarter. Favorably impacting other income were increases in most major categories the more significant of which were $4.7 million in income from real estate held for investment and $0.7 million in loan and deposit related fees. The increase in income from real estate held for investment includes a $5.5 million gain from the all cash sale of four California shopping centers from one joint venture partnership relationship. Those increases more than offset the $4.5 million decline in net gains on sales of investment securities, as the year-ago quarter included gains from the sale of U.S. Treasury securities carried in an available for sale portfolio. The following table presents a breakdown of the key components comprising income from real estate and joint venture operations. The above mentioned gain from the sale of four joint venture shopping centers appears in two categories. Equity in net income (loss) from joint ventures contains $3.9 million of the gain, while $1.6 million is reported in the recovery for losses on real estate and joint ventures category.

The increase was explained by higher general and administrative costs, as the costs associated with the net operation of real estate acquired in settlement of loans declined by $0.1 million. Included in general and administrative costs was $1.4 million associated with the departure of the former chief executive officer. Excluding that amount, general and administrative costs would have increased by $2.9 million or 14.8%. That increase primarily reflected branch expansion, particularly into supermarket banking, and growth in auto lending. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES Income taxes for the first quarter totaled $9.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 43.4%, compared to $8.0 million and 43.1% for the like quarter of a year ago. 9 FINANCIAL CONDITION LOANS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES Total loans and mortgage-backed securities, including those held for sale, increased $243.1 million during the first quarter to a total of $5.0 billion, or 90.7% of assets, at March 31, 1997. This increase primarily reflected increases of $229.5 million in the residential one-to-four unit loan portfolio held for investment and $40.2 million in automobile loans. Those increases were partially offset by a decline of $32.2 million in the commercial real estate loan portfolio. The following table sets forth originations of loans held for investment and loans originated for sale.

(2) Primarily represents loans to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans and loans that meet certain yield and other approved guidelines. Originations of one-to-four unit residential loans totaled $432.6 million in the first quarter of 1997, of which $392.6 million were for portfolio and $40.0 million were for sale. This was 6.5% higher than the $406.1 million originated in the fourth quarter of 1996, and more than double the $189.3 million originated in the year-ago quarter. Of the current quarter total, $20.1 million represented originations of subprime credits ("A-," "B" and "C") as part of Downey's strategy to enhance the portfolio's net yield. During the current quarter, 49% of Downey's residential one-to-four unit originations represented refinancings of existing loans (existing Downey loans were 3%). This is up from 45% (existing Downey loans were 6%) during the 1996 fourth quarter, but down from 59% (existing Downey loans were 12%) in the year-ago first quarter. In addition to single family loans, $97.3 million of other loans were originated in the quarter including $62.9 million of automobile loans and $25.9 million of construction loans. During the current quarter, loan originations for investment consisted primarily of ARMs tied to the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index, an index which lags the movement in market interest rates. This experience is similar to that of recent quarters. Increasingly, the majority of ARM originations reprice monthly; however, Downey also originates ARM loans which reprice semi-annually and annually. With respect to ARMs that primarily adjust monthly, there is a lifetime interest rate cap, but no other specified limit on periodic interest rate adjustments. Instead, monthly adjustment ARMs have a periodic cap on changes in the required monthly payments, which adjust annually. Monthly adjustment ARMs allow for negative amortization (the addition to loan principal of accrued interest that exceeds the required loan payment). There is a limit on the amount of negative amortization, such that the principal plus the added amount cannot exceed 110% of the original loan amount. At March 31, 1997, $2.1 billion of the ARMs in Downey's loan portfolio were subject to negative amortization of which $17.7 million represented the amount of negative amortization included in the loan balance. Downey also continues to originate residential fixed interest rate mortgage loans to meet consumer demand, but intends to sell the majority of all such loans. Sales of loans originated by Downey were $38.2 million for the first quarter of 1997, compared to $31.0 million in the previous quarter and $62.2 million for the first quarter of 1996. All were secured by residential one-to-four unit property. 10 At March 31, 1997, Downey had commitments to fund loans amounting to $283.8 million, undrawn lines of credit of $72.8 million, loans in process of $46.1 million and no letters of credit. Downey believes its current sources of funds will enable it to meet these obligations while exceeding all regulatory liquidity requirements. 11 The following table sets forth the origination, purchase and sale activity relating to loans and mortgage-backed securities Downey held for investment and held for sale.

At March 31, 1997, no valuation allowance was required as the market value exceeded book value on an aggregate basis. 13 Mortgage-backed securities available for sale are carried at fair value and, at March 31, 1997, reflect an unrealized loss of $0.2 million. The current quarter-end unrealized loss, less the associated tax effect of $0.1 million, is reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE AND JOINT VENTURES Downey's investment in real estate and joint ventures amounted to $41.0 million at March 31, 1997, compared to $46.5 million at December 31, 1996, and $42.9 million at March 31, 1996. The current quarter decline primarily reflects the sale of four California shopping centers from one joint venture partnership relationship.

The repricing frequencies have been determined by reference to projected maturities, based upon contractual maturities as adjusted for scheduled repayments and "repricing mechanisms" (provisions for changes in the interest and dividend rates of assets and liabilities). Prepayment rates are assumed on substantially all of Downey's loan portfolio based upon its historical loan prepayment experience and anticipated future prepayments. Repricing mechanisms on certain of Downey's assets are subject to limitations, such as caps on the amount that interest rates and payments on Downey's loans may adjust, and accordingly, such assets do not normally respond as completely or rapidly as Downey's liabilities to changes in market interest rates. The interest rate sensitivity of Downey's assets and liabilities illustrated in the table would vary substantially if different assumptions were used or if actual experience differed from the assumptions set forth. 15 March 31, 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Within 7 - 12 1 - 5 5 - 10 Over Total (Dollars in Thousands) 6 Months Months Years Years 10 Years Balance - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest-earning assets: Investment securities and Federal Home Loan Bank stock ..............................

(2) Based upon contractual maturity, repricing date and projected repayment and prepayments of principal. (3) Based upon contractual maturity or repricing date. (4) Subject to immediate repricing. The six-month gap at March 31, 1997, was a positive 16.85% (i.e., more interest earning assets reprice within six months than interest-bearing liabilities). This compares to a positive six-month gap of 16.71% at December 31, 1996, and 9.45% at March 31, 1996. Downey's strategy of emphasizing the origination of adjustable rate mortgages continues to be pursued. For the twelve months ended March 31, 1997, Downey originated and purchased for investment $1.7 billion of adjustable rate loans and mortgage-backed securities which represented approximately 96% of all loans and mortgage-backed securities originated and purchased for investment during the period. At March 31, 1997, 98% of Downey's interest-earning assets mature, reprice or are estimated to prepay within five years, up slightly from 97% at December 31, 1996, but down slightly from 99% at March 31, 1996. At March 31, 1997, loans and mortgage-backed securities with adjustable interest rates represented 89% of Downey's loans and mortgage-backed securities portfolios. During the first quarter of 1997, Downey continued to offer residential fixed rate loan products to its customers primarily for sale in the secondary market. Downey prices and originates such fixed rate mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market in order to increase opportunities for originating ARMs and generate fee and servicing income. 16 Downey does originate fixed rate loans for portfolio to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans and which meet certain yield and other approved guidelines. At March 31, 1997, $4.7 billion or 94% of the total loan portfolio (including mortgage-backed securities) consisted of adjustable rate loans, construction loans, and loans with a due date of five years or less, compared to $4.5 billion or 94% and $3.9 billion or 93%, at December 31, 1996, and March 31, 1996, respectively. The following table sets forth on a consolidated basis the interest rate spread on Downey's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of the dates indicated.

At March 31, 1997, the single family ARM portfolio, including mortgage-backed securities, totaled $4.1 billion with a weighted average rate of 7.33%, compared to $3.3 billion with a weighted average rate of 7.38% at December 31, 1996, and $3.4 billion with a weighted average rate of 7.53% at March 31, 1996. ASSET QUALITY Non-Performing Assets Non-performing assets decreased during the quarter by $1.1 million to $60.9 million at March 31, 1997, or 1.11% of assets. All of Downey's non-performing assets at March 31, 1997, were located in California with the exception of one property acquired in settlement of a loan located in Arizona. Non-performing assets at quarter end include non-accrual loans aggregating $18.4 million which were not contractually past due, but were deemed non-accrual due to management's assessment of the borrower's ability to pay. 17 The following table summarizes the non-performing assets of Downey at the dates indicated.

At March 31, 1997, the recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized totaled $14.1 million (all of which were on non-accrual status). The total allowance for possible losses related to such loans was $1.5 million. During the first quarter of 1997, total interest recognized on the impaired loan portfolio, on a cash basis, was $0.6 million. Delinquent Loans During the 1997 first quarter, total delinquencies increased $1.8 million or 4.1%. However, as a percent of loans, delinquencies declined from 0.90% at December 31, 1996 to 0.89% at March 31, 1997. The dollar increase during the quarter occurred primarily in the residential one-to-four units category. Overall, the 30-59 days and 90+ days categories increased $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in the 60-89 days category of $0.4 million. 18 The following table indicates the amounts of Downey's past due loans.

These general loan valuation allowances may be included as a component of risk-based capital, up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Net charge-offs totaled $1.6 million in the 1997 first quarter, compared to $1.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Included in the current quarter net charge-offs were $0.6 million associated with one-to-four unit residential properties and $0.9 million associated with automobile loans.

These funds were used primarily to originate loans held for investment of $466.3 million (net of Downey refinances of $15.2 million) and repay FHLB advances and other borrowings which declined by $58.6 million in the aggregate. At March 31, 1997, the Bank's ratio of regulatory liquidity was 5.46%, compared to 5.26% at December 31, 1996, and 5.20% at March 31, 1996. The ratio remains above the regulatory minimum of 5%. Stockholders' equity totaled $400.5 million at March 31, 1997, compared to $391.6 million at December 31, 1996, and $387.5 million at March 31, 1996. 21 REGULATORY CAPITAL The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank's stockholder's equity to federal regulatory capital as of March 31, 1997. The core and tangible capital ratios were 6.54% and the risk-based capital ratio was 12.58%.
