                   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.

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.



                                                                       Three Months Ended

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     Provision for loan losses was $2.2 million in the current quarter  compared
to $1.2 million in the year-ago quarter.  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.

OPERATING EXPENSE

     Operating  expense  totaled  $25.2  million in the first  quarter,  up $4.2
million or 20.1% from the first  quarter of 1996.  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.

                               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.

=========================================================================================================


(1)  For the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 and  December  31,  1996,  $4.9
     million  and  $0.2  million,   respectively,  in  loans  purchased  through
     correspondent lending relationships are included.
(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.

     Loans held for sale are  carried  at the lower of cost or market.  At March
31, 1997, no valuation  allowance was required as the market value exceeded book
value on an aggregate basis.

     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 following table is a summary of the activity of Downey's  allowance for
real estate held for investment for the periods indicated.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     The following  table sets forth the repricing  frequency of Downey's  major
asset  and  liability  categories  as of  March  31,  1997,  as well as  certain
information   regarding   the  repricing   and  maturity   differences   between
interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities  ("gap")  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).  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.

     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.

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

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.

     and real estate acquired in settlement of loans.

     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.

Valuation Allowances

     Allowances for losses on all assets  (including  loans) were $56.5 million,
$61.8  million,  and $62.1  million,  at March 31, 1997,  December 31, 1996, and
March 31, 1996, respectively. For information on valuation allowances associated
with real estate and joint venture loans,  see  "Investments  in Real Estate and
Joint Ventures" on page 14.

     The total allowance for possible loan losses was $30.7 million at March 31,
1997, compared to $30.1 million at December 31, 1996, and $27.4 million at March
31, 1996.  Included in the current quarter-end total allowance was $30.3 million
of general  loan  valuation  allowances,  of which $2.8  million  represents  an
unallocated portion.  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.

     The following table is a summary of the activity of Downey's  allowance for
loan losses for the periods indicated.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     The primary  sources of funds generated in the first quarter of 1997 were a
net increase in deposits of $321.3 million and principal  repayments  (including
prepayments,  but  excluding  Downey  refinances)  on loans and  mortgage-backed
securities held for investment and available for sale of $224.1 million.

     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.

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%.  The
Bank's capital ratios exceed the "well capitalized" standards of 5% for core and
tangible and 10% for risk-based, as defined by regulation.
