                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE (1) - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of Downey Financial Corp. and subsidiaries  ("Downey," "we,"
"us" and "our"), 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 September 30, 2001, December
31, 2000 and September 30, 2000,  the results of  operations  and  comprehensive
income for the three months and nine months ended  September  30, 2001 and 2000,
and changes in cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.
Certain prior period  amounts have been  reclassified  to conform to the current
period presentation.

     The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America  for  interim  financial  statements  and  are in  compliance  with  the
instructions  for Form 10-Q and  therefore  do not include all  information  and
footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial  condition,  results of
operations, comprehensive income and cash flows. The following information under
the heading  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
Results  of  Operations  is  written  with  the  presumption  that  the  interim
consolidated  financial  statements  will be read in  conjunction  with Downey's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000,  which contains
among  other  things,  a  description  of  the  business,   the  latest  audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto,  together with Management's
Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations as of
December 31, 2000 and for the year then ended. Therefore,  only material changes
in financial  condition and results of operations are discussed in the remainder
of Part I.

NOTE (2) - NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net income per share is calculated on both a basic and diluted basis. Basic
net income per share  excludes  dilution  and is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were  exercised or  converted  into common  stock or resulted  from  issuance of
common stock that then shared in earnings.

     The following  table presents a  reconciliation  of the components  used to
derive basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated.


                                                            Three Months Ended September 30,

NOTE (5) - ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

     On January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards
No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities," as
amended,  ("SFAS  133").  SFAS 133 required the  recognition  of all  derivative
financial instruments at fair value and reported as either assets or liabilities
on the  balance  sheet.  The  accounting  for gains and losses  associated  with
changes in the fair value of  derivatives  are  reported in current  earnings or
other  comprehensive  income,  net of tax, depending on whether they qualify for
hedge  accounting  and  whether  the  hedge is  highly  effective  in  achieving
offsetting  changes in the fair  value or cash  flows of the asset or  liability
hedged.  Under the  provisions  of SFAS 133, the method used for  assessing  the
effectiveness of a hedging derivative,  as well as the measurement  approach for
determining the ineffective  aspects of the hedge, must have been established at
the  inception  of the hedge.  Those  methods must also be  consistent  with the
entity's approach to managing risk.  Although we continue to hedge as previously
done,  SFAS 133, as applied to our risk management  strategies,  may increase or
decrease  reported net income and stockholders'  equity,  depending on levels of
interest  rates and other  variables  affecting  the fair  values of  derivative
instruments  and hedged  items,  but will have no effect on actual cash flows or
the overall economics of the transactions.

     With the  implementation  of SFAS 133,  we  recorded  after-tax  transition
amounts   associated  with  establishing  the  fair  values  of  the  derivative
instruments  and hedged items on the balance  sheet as an increase of $36,000 to
net income and a reduction of $388,000 in other comprehensive income. All of the
other  comprehensive  income  transition  amount was reclassified  into earnings
during the first quarter of 2001.

Derivatives

     We offer  short-term  interest  rate lock  commitments  to help us  attract
potential home loan  borrowers.  The rate locks  guarantee a specified  interest
rate for a loan if our  underwriting  standards are met, but do not obligate the
potential  borrower.  The rate lock commitments we ultimately  expect to sell in
the secondary market are treated as derivatives.  Consequently,  as derivatives,
the  expected  rate  lock  commitments  do not  qualify  for  hedge  accounting.
Associated  fair value  adjustments  are recorded in the balance sheet in either
other  assets or accounts  payable and  accrued  liabilities,  with an offset to
current  earnings  under  net  gains  on  sales  of  loans  and  mortgage-backed
securities.  At September  30, 2001, we had rate lock  commitments  estimated to
sell  as  part  of our  secondary  marketing  activities  of  $423  million.  At
origination,  the fair value of our rate lock  derivatives are capitalized  into
the basis of our loans held for sale and,  from that point until  sale,  qualify
for hedge accounting under SFAS 133.

Hedging Activities

     As  part  of our  secondary  marketing  activities,  we  typically  utilize
short-term  forward sale and purchase  contracts to offset the impact of changes
in  market  interest  rates on the  value of rate  lock  derivatives  and  loans
originated for sale.  Contracts  associated with originated  loans are accounted
for as cash flow hedges.  These  contracts have a high  correlation to the price
movement of both the rate lock  derivatives and the loans being hedged.  Changes
in  forward  sale  contract  values not  assigned  to  originated  loans and the
ineffectiveness  of hedge  transactions  are  recorded  in net gains on sales of
loans and  mortgage-backed  securities.  The  changes in values on forward  sale
contracts assigned as cash flow hedges to originated loans are recorded in other
comprehensive  income,  net of tax, as long as cash flow hedge  requirements are
met. The amounts  recorded in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income will be
recognized  in the  income  statement  when the hedged  forecasted  transactions
settle.  We estimate that all of the related  unrealized  losses in  accumulated
other  comprehensive  income will be reclassified  into earnings within the next
three months.  At September 30, 2001,  forward sale  contracts  amounted to $827
million,  of which $369 million were designated as cash flow hedges, and forward
purchase contracts totaled $53 million.

NOTE (6) - INCOME TAXES

     Downey and its wholly owned subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income
tax return and various state income and franchise tax returns on a calendar year
basis. The Internal  Revenue Service and state taxing  authorities have examined
Downey's tax returns for all tax years through 1995 and are currently  reviewing
returns  filed  for the 1996 tax  year.  Adjustments  proposed  by the  Internal
Revenue  Service have been protested by Downey and are currently  moving through
the government appeals process.  Downey believes it has established  appropriate
liabilities for any resultant deficiencies.  Tax years subsequent to 1996 remain
open to review by federal and state tax authorities.

NOTE (7) - SALE OF SUBSIDIARY

     On February 29, 2000,  Downey Savings and Loan  Association,  F.A. sold its
indirect automobile finance  subsidiary,  Downey Auto Finance Corp., to Auto One
Acceptance  Corp.,  a subsidiary  of  California  Federal Bank and  recognized a
pre-tax gain from the sale of $9.8 million. As of December 31, 1999, Downey Auto
Finance Corp. had loans totaling $366 million and total assets of $373 million.

NOTE (8) - CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES

     In July 2001, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  142,  "Goodwill  and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142").

     SFAS 141 requires  that the purchase  method of  accounting be used for all
business   combinations   initiated   after  June  30,  2001.  The  use  of  the
pooling-of-interests  method will be prohibited.  It is not anticipated that the
financial impact of this statement will have a material effect on Downey.

     SFAS  142  applies  to all  acquired  intangible  assets  whether  acquired
singularly,  as part of a group,  or in a business  combination.  The  Statement
supersedes  APB  Opinion No. 17,  "Intangible  Assets,"  and will carry  forward
provisions in Opinion 17 related to internally  developed intangible assets. The
Statement changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization  method to an
impairment-only  approach.  Goodwill should no longer be amortized,  but instead
tested for  impairment  at least  annually  at the  reporting  unit  level.  The
accounting  provisions are effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December
31, 2001. For the first nine months of 2001, the  amortization of excess of cost
over fair value of net assets  acquired was $0.3 million and as of September 30,
2001,  goodwill  amounted  to  $3.3  million.  It is not  anticipated  that  the
financial impact of this statement will have a material effect on Downey.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Certain  statements  under this  caption  may  constitute  "forward-looking
statements"  under the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 which
involve risks and  uncertainties.  Our actual  results may differ  significantly
from the results  discussed  in such  forward-looking  statements.  Factors that
might  cause  such a  difference  include,  but are  not  limited  to,  economic
conditions, competition in the geographic and business areas in which we conduct
our operations,  fluctuations  in interest rates,  credit quality and government
regulation.

OVERVIEW

     Our net income for the third quarter of 2001 totaled $21.8 million or $0.77
per share on a diluted  basis,  down 17.4%  from the $26.3  million or $0.93 per
share in the third quarter of 2000.

     The decline in our net income  between third  quarters was primarily due to
the addition we made to our valuation  allowance for mortgage  servicing rights.
The addition was reflected  within the category of loan  servicing  fees and was
necessary due to the continued drop in market interest rates that have increased
the expected rate of  prepayments  on loans we service for others,  as well as a
decline in the value of  associated  custodial  accounts.  The pre-tax  addition
during the third quarter was $11.9 million, compared to $0.6 million a year ago.
If that  valuation  allowance  had not been  necessary,  our net  income  in the
current quarter would have been $28.6 million,  up $1.9 million or 7.1% from the
adjusted  year-ago level. This reflected an increase of $4.7 million in adjusted
net income from our  banking  operations,  that more than offset a $2.8  million
decline in net income  from real  estate  investment  activities.  Adjusted  net
income from banking operations increased due to the following:

     o    a $9.3 million increase in other income due to higher loan and deposit
          related  fees as well as higher  net gains from the sales of loans and
          mortgage-backed securities;
     o    a $6.3  million  or  9.4%  increase  in  net  interest  income  due to
          increases in both average  earning  assets and our effective  interest
          rate spread; and
     o    a $0.2 million reduction in provision for loan losses.

These  favorable items were partially  offset by a $7.9 million  increase in our
operating  expense  associated with an increased  number of branch locations and
higher loan origination activity.

     For the first nine months of 2001,  our net income totaled $81.1 million or
$2.86 per share on a diluted basis.  This is an increase of 14.8% over the $70.6
million or $2.50 per share for the first nine months of 2000, excluding the $5.6
million  or $0.20  per  share  after-tax  gain  from  the  sale of our  indirect
automobile finance subsidiary from the year-ago results. Including the gain, our
net income for the first nine months of 2000 totaled  $76.3 million or $2.70 per
share on a diluted basis.  The increase  between  nine-month  periods  primarily
reflected higher net income from our banking operations.

     For the third quarter of 2001,  our return on average  assets was 0.82% and
our return on average equity was 12.63%.  For the first nine months of 2001, our
return on average assets was 1.00% and our return on average equity was 16.31%.

     At September 30, 2001, our assets totaled $10.7 billion, up $349 million or
3.4% from a year ago,  but down $106  million  from June 30,  2001.  Our  single
family loan originations totaled $1.988 billion in the third quarter of 2001, up
128.7% from the $869 million we originated in the third quarter of 2000 but 6.3%
below the record $2.122  billion we originated in the second quarter of 2001. Of
the current quarter total,  $872 million  represented  originations of loans for
portfolio,  of which $101 million  represented  subprime credits. In addition to
single family loans, we originated $57 million of other loans in the quarter.

     Between third  quarters,  we funded our asset growth with a $1.2 billion or
15.3% increase in deposits.  At quarter-end,  our deposits totaled $8.9 billion.
During the quarter,  one new traditional  branch and four new in-store  branches
were opened,  bringing our total  branches at quarter end to 134, with the total
equally divided between traditional and in-store locations. A year ago, branches
totaled 107, of which 43 were in-store.

     Our  non-performing  assets increased $15 million during the quarter to $75
million or 0.70% of total assets.  The increase was all in residential loans, of
which $7 million were subprime.

     At September  30, 2001,  our primary  subsidiary,  Downey  Savings and Loan
Association,  F.A. (the "Bank"),  had core and tangible  capital ratios of 7.04%
and  a  risk-based   capital  ratio  of  14.11%.   These  capital   levels  were
substantially above the "well capitalized" standards defined by regulation of 5%
for core and tangible capital and 10% for risk-based capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest  income is the  difference  between the interest and dividends
earned  on  loans,   mortgage-backed   securities  and   investment   securities
("interest-earning  assets") and the interest paid on deposits,  borrowings  and
capital  securities  ("interest-bearing  liabilities").  The spread  between the
yield on interest-earning  assets and the cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities
and the  relative  dollar  amounts of these assets and  liabilities  principally
affects net interest income.

     Our net interest income totaled $73.4 million in the third quarter of 2001,
up $6.2 million or 9.3% from the same period last year. The improvement  between
third  quarters  reflected  increases  in both  average  earning  assets and the
effective  interest rate spread.  Our average  earning assets  increased by $215
million or 2.1% between third quarters to $10.3 billion.  Our effective interest
rate spread of 2.85% in the current  quarter  was up from the  year-ago  quarter
level of 2.66%.  This  improvement  was due to our cost of funds  declining more
rapidly than our yield on earning  assets.  This is indicative of what typically
happens when interest rates decline,  as there is an  administrative  lag in the
repricing of our loans which are primarily  priced to the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB")  Eleventh  District Cost of Funds Index  ("COFI").  Our current quarter
effective interest rate spread, however, was down 4 basis points from the second
quarter 2001 level,  as our earning asset yield fell  slightly  faster than with
our cost of funds on a linked-quarter  basis. For the first nine months of 2001,
net interest  income  totaled $225.9  million,  up $32.3 million or 16.7% from a
year ago.

     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 total deposits, borrowings and capital securities--for the periods indicated.
We included non-accrual loans in the average interest-earning assets balance. We
included  interest from non-accrual  loans in interest income only to the extent
we received  payments and to the extent we believe we will recover the remaining
principal  balance of the loans. We computed  average balances using the average
of each month's daily average balance during the periods 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 periods  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 comparative period
          rate;
     o    changes in  rate--changes  in rate  multiplied by  comparative  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 quarterly 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 $0.8  million in the current  quarter,  down
from $1.0  million in the third  quarter of 2000.  For the first nine  months of
2001,  provision for loan losses was $1.3  million,  compared to $2.7 million in
the year-ago  period.  For information  regarding our allowance for loan losses,
see Financial  Condition--Problem Loans and Real Estate--Allowance for Losses on
Loans and Real Estate on page 30.

OTHER INCOME

     Our total other income was $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2001,  down
$5.0 million from a year ago primarily due to:

     o    an $11.9  million  addition to the  valuation  allowance  for mortgage
          servicing  rights reflected within the category of loan servicing fees
          due to the continued drop in market interest rates that have increased
          the expected rate of prepayments on loans serviced for others, as well
          as a decline in the value of associated custodial accounts; and

     o    a $3.3 million decrease in income from real estate held for investment
          due to lower  gains  from  sales  and  lower  recapture  of  valuation
          allowances.

Those  decreases were partially  offset by a $5.3 million  increase in loans and
deposit  related fees due to increases of $3.3 million in loan  prepayment  fees
and $1.0 million in deposit related fees, as well as an increase of $4.6 million
in net gains
                                       14

from sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities. For the first nine months of
2001,  total other income was $35.3 million,  down $7.7 million from a year ago,
of which $9.8 million was  attributable  to the  year-ago  pre-tax gain from the
sale  of  our  indirect  automobile  finance  subsidiary.  Below  is  a  further
discussion of the major other income categories.

Loan and Deposit Related Fees

     Loan and deposit related fees totaled $13.3 million in the third quarter of
2001, up $5.3 million from a year ago. Our loan related fees  accounted for $4.3
million  of  the  increase  between  third  quarters,   of  which  $3.3  million
represented  higher loan prepayment  fees. Our deposit related fees increased by
$1.0 million or 29.2%,  primarily due to higher fees from our checking accounts.
For the nine  months  of 2001,  loan and  deposit  related  fees  totaled  $37.6
million, up $16.9 million from the same period of 2000.

     The following  table presents a breakdown of loan and deposit  related fees
for the periods indicated.

Real Estate and Joint Ventures Held for Investment

     Income from our real estate and joint ventures held for investment  totaled
$0.7  million in the third  quarter of 2001,  down from $4.0 million a year ago.
Our net gains on sales declined by $2.7 million  between third  quarters,  while
the recapture of valuation  allowances were lower by $0.2 million. For the first
nine  months of 2001,  income  from real  estate  and  joint  ventures  held for

Secondary Marketing Activities

     Sales of loans and  mortgage-backed  securities we originated  increased to
$1.120  billion in the third  quarter of 2001 from $620  million a year ago. Net
gains  associated  with these sales totaled $4.2 million in the third quarter of
2001,  up from a loss of $0.3 million a year ago. The year-ago loss was due to a
conversion to a new loan origination system that temporarily  affected the hedge
position  against our loans held for sale.  The net gains  included  capitalized
mortgage  servicing  rights  of $10.3  million  in the  third  quarter  of 2001,
compared  to $6.3  million a year ago.  For the first nine  months of 2001,  net
gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities totaled $15.3 million, up
from $2.2 million from the same period of 2000.

                                       15

     A loss of $11.8  million  was  recorded  in loan  servicing  fees  from our
portfolio  of loans  serviced  for  others  during  the third  quarter  of 2001,
compared  to a loss of $0.1  million  a year  ago.  The loss in the  2001  third
quarter  reflects an $11.9  million  provision to the  valuation  allowance  for
mortgage  servicing rights due to the continued drop in interest rates that have
increased the expected rate of prepayments on loans serviced for others, as well
as a decline in the value of  associated  custodial  accounts.  At September 30,
2001, we serviced $5.5 billion of loans for others,  compared to $4.0 billion at
both  December 31, 2000 and  September  30,  2000.  For the first nine months of
2001, a loss of $22.9 million was recorded in loan servicing  fees,  compared to
income of $0.5 million from the same period of 2000.

     The  following  table  presents a breakdown of the  components  of our loan
servicing fees for the periods indicated.

OPERATING EXPENSE

     Operating  expense  totaled $41.9 million in the current  quarter,  up $9.5
million from the third quarter of 2000. The increase was primarily due to a $9.6
million or 29.8% increase in general and administrative  expense.  That increase
was primarily due to higher costs  associated with an increased number of branch
locations  and higher loan  origination  activity.  For the first nine months of
2001,  operating expenses totaled $119.3 million, up $18.2 million from the same
period of 2000.

Banking

     Net  income  from our  banking  operations  for the third  quarter  of 2001
totaled  $22.3  million,  down 7.4% from $24.1  million in the third  quarter of
2000.

     The decrease between third quarters  primarily  reflected the $11.9 million
addition to the valuation  allowance  for mortgage  servicing  rights  reflected
within the category of loan  servicing fees as a result of the continued drop in
market  interest  rates that have  increased the expected rate of prepayments on
loans  serviced  for  others,  as well as a decline  in the value of  associated
custodial  accounts.  If that valuation  allowance had not been  necessary,  net
income  from our  banking  operations  would  have been $29.1  million,  up $4.7
million  or 19.2%  from the  adjusted  year-ago  level.  The  adjusted  increase
primarily resulted from:

     o    a $6.3  million  increase in net  interest  income due to increases in
          both our average earning assets and effective interest rate spread;
     o    a $5.0 million increase in loan and deposit related fees;
     o    a  $4.6  million   increase  in  net  gains  on  sales  of  loans  and
          mortgage-backed securities; and
     o    a $0.2 million reduction in provision for loan losses.

Partially  offsetting  these  favorable  items was a $7.9  million  increase  in

     For the first nine  months of 2001,  our net income  from  banking  totaled
$81.2 million,  up $9.1 million from the same period a year ago. The sale of our
indirect automobile finance subsidiary  benefited our year-ago nine-month period
net income by $5.6  million.  Excluding  that gain,  net income from our banking
operations would have increased by $14.8 million or 22.2% from a year ago.

Real Estate Investment

     Our real estate  investment  operations  recorded a loss of $0.5 million in
the  third  quarter  of 2001,  compared  to net  income of $2.3  million  in the
year-ago  quarter.  The decline  was  primarily  attributed  to lower gains from
sales, lower recapture of valuation allowances and higher operating expenses due
to litigation matters associated with certain joint venture partners.

     The following table sets forth real estate investment  operational  results
for the periods indicated and selected financial data.

September 30, 2001, compared to $18 million at December 31, 2000 and $16 million
at September  30,  2000.  During the quarter,  our  investment  increased by $16
million due primarily to a settlement  of  litigation  with former joint venture
partners wherein we became the sole owner of two shopping centers.

     For the first nine months of 2001, our net loss from real estate investment
operations totaled $0.1 million, down from net income of $4.2 million during the

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     Total loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  including  those we hold for
sale,  decreased $69 million during the third quarter to a total of $9.9 billion
or 92.5% of assets at September 30, 2001. The decrease  represents a lower level
of single family loans held for  investment,  which  declined $34 million during
the  quarter  as  prepayments  slightly  exceeded  originations.  Given  the low
interest rate  environment  and borrower  preference  for fixed rate loans,  our
annualized  prepayment  speed in the current quarter was 39%,  compared to 17% a
year ago, but down from the record 44% of second quarter 2001.

     The following table sets forth loans originated,  including purchases,  for
investment and for sale during the periods indicated.

(1)  Residential one-to-four unit loans, primarily fixed.



     Originations of residential  one-to-four  unit loans totaled $1.988 billion
in the third  quarter of 2001,  of which $872  million  were for  portfolio  and
$1.117  billion were for sale.  This was 6.3% below the record $2.122 billion we
originated  in the second  quarter of 2001 but 128.7%  above the $869 million we
originated in the year-ago third quarter.  Of the current  quarter  originations
for portfolio, $101 million represented originations of subprime credits as part
of our  continuing  strategy to enhance the  portfolio's  net yield.  During the
current  quarter,   72%  of  our  residential   one-to-four  unit   originations
represented  refinancing  transactions.  This is similar to the previous quarter
level but up from 35% in the  year-ago  third  quarter.  In  addition  to single
family loans, we originated $57 million of other loans in the current quarter.

     During the current  quarter,  loan  originations  for investment  consisted
primarily of  adjustable  rate  mortgages  tied to COFI, an index which lags the
movement in market interest rates.  This experience is similar to that of recent
quarters.

     Our adjustable rate mortgages generally:

     o    begin with an incentive interest rate, which is an interest rate below
          the current market rate,  that adjusts to the applicable  index plus a
          defined  spread,  subject to periodic  and lifetime  caps,  after one,
          three, six or twelve months;
     o    provide that the maximum  interest rate we can charge borrowers cannot
          exceed the incentive rate by more than six to nine percentage  points,
          depending on the type of loan and the initial rate offered; and
     o    limit interest rate adjustments to 1% per adjustment  period for those
          that adjust  semi-annually and 2% per adjustment period for those that
          adjust annually.

     Most  of  our  adjustable   rate  mortgages   adjust  monthly   instead  of
semi-annually. These monthly adjustable rate mortgages:

     o    have a lifetime interest rate cap, but no specified  periodic interest
          rate adjustment cap;
     o    have a periodic  cap on changes in required  monthly  payments,  which
          adjust annually; and
     o    allow  for  negative  amortization,  which  is the  addition  to  loan
          principal of accrued  interest that exceeds the required  monthly loan
          payments.

Regarding  negative   amortization,   if  a  loan  incurs  significant  negative
amortization,  then  there is an  increased  risk that the  market  value of the
underlying  collateral  on the loan would be  insufficient  to satisfy fully the
outstanding principal and interest. We currently impose a limit on the amount of
negative amortization, so that the principal plus the added amount

                                       20

cannot exceed 110% of the original  loan amount.  During the third  quarter,  we
raised the limit on new loans with  loan-to-value  ratios of 80% or less to 125%
of the original  loan amount.  This  increased  limit does not apply to subprime
loans.

     At September 30, 2001, $6.9 billion of the adjustable rate mortgages in our
loan  portfolio  were  subject to negative  amortization  of which $185  million
represented the amount of negative amortization included in the loan balance.

     We also  continue to originate  residential  fixed  interest  rate mortgage
loans to meet  consumer  demand,  but we  intend to sell the  majority  of these
loans. We sold $1.120 billion of loans in the third quarter of 2001, compared to
$1.364 billion in the previous  quarter and $620 million in the third quarter of
2000.  All  were  secured  by  residential  one-to-four  unit  property,  and at
September 30, 2001, loans held for sale totaled $373 million.

     At September 30, 2001, our unfunded loan application  pipeline totaled $1.8
billion.  Within that pipeline,  we had  commitments to borrowers for short-term
interest  rate locks of $787  million,  of which $533  million  were  related to
residential  one-to-four  unit loans being  originated for sale in the secondary
market.  Furthermore,  we had  commitments  on  undrawn  lines of  credit of $85
million and loans in process of $54 million.  We believe our current  sources of
funds will enable us to meet these  obligations  while  exceeding all regulatory
liquidity requirements.

(1)  Reflects the change in value from date of interest rate lock  commitment to
     date of origination.



     We carry loans for sale at the lower of cost or market.  At  September  30,
2001,  no valuation  allowance  was required as the market value  exceeded  book
value on an aggregate basis.

     At September 30, 2001, our residential one-to-four units subprime portfolio
consisted of  approximately  77% "A-"  credit,  19% "B" credit and 4% "C" credit
loans. At September 30, 2001, the average loan-to-value ratio at origination for
these loans was approximately 75%.

     We carry mortgage-backed securities available for sale at fair value which,
at September  30, 2001,  reflected an  unrealized  loss of $44,000.  The current
quarter-end unrealized loss, less the associated tax effect, is reflected within
a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until realized.

DEPOSITS

     At September 30, 2001, our deposits  totaled $8.9 billion,  up $1.2 billion
or 15.3% from the  year-ago  quarter end but down $171  million or 1.9% from the
previous  quarter.  While our  preference is to grow  deposits,  the rates being
offered on new certificates of deposit have remained above borrowing rates. As a
result, we elected not to retain all of our certificates of deposit that matured
during  the  quarter.   Compared  to  the  year-ago   period,   our  transaction
accounts--i.e.,  checking,  regular  passbook and money  market--increased  $665
million or 45.2% and our certificates of deposit increased $512 million or 8.2%.
Within  transaction  accounts,  our regular  passbook  accounts  increased  $532
million or 68.6% and our total  checking  accounts  (non-interest  and  interest
bearing) increased $123 million or 20.3%.

BORROWINGS

     During the 2001 third quarter, our borrowings increased $35 million to $927
million. The current quarter increase occurred as we took advantage of obtaining
long-term  advances from the FHLB at attractive  borrowing rates.  This increase
followed a decrease of $564 million during the second quarter of 2001.

     The following table sets forth information concerning our FHLB advances and
other borrowings at the dates indicated.

CAPITAL SECURITIES

     On July 23, 1999,  we issued $120 million in capital  securities,  of which
$108 million was invested as  additional  common stock in the Bank.  The capital
securities  pay quarterly  cumulative  cash  distributions  at an annual rate of
10.00% of the liquidation value of $25 per share. Interest expense including the
amortization  of  deferred  issuance  costs on our capital  securities  was $3.0
million for the third quarter of 2001.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK

     Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse  changes in market  prices and
interest rates.  Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk in our
lending and deposit  taking  activities.  This  interest rate risk occurs to the
degree that our  interest-bearing  liabilities  reprice or mature on a different
basis--generally  more  rapidly--than  our  interest-earning  assets.  Since our
earnings depend  primarily on our net interest  income,  which is the difference
between the interest and  dividends  earned on  interest-earning  assets and the
interest paid on interest-bearing  liabilities,  one of our principal objectives
is to actively  monitor  and manage the  effects of adverse  changes in interest
rates on net  interest  income  while  maintaining  asset  quality.  Our primary
strategy  to  manage  interest  rate risk is to  emphasize  the  origination  of
adjustable rate mortgages or loans with relatively  short  maturities.  Interest
rates on adjustable rate mortgages are primarily tied to COFI. There has been no
significant change in our market risk since December 31, 2000.

                                       25

     The following  table sets forth the repricing  frequency of our major asset
and liability  categories as of September 30, 2001, as well as other information
regarding the repricing and maturity  differences  between our  interest-earning
assets and total deposits,  borrowings and capital securities in future periods.
We refer  to these  differences  as  "gap."  We have  determined  the  repricing
frequencies  by  reference  to  projected  maturities,  based  upon  contractual
maturities   as   adjusted   for    scheduled    repayments    and    "repricing
mechanisms"--provisions for changes in the interest and dividend rates of assets
and liabilities.  We assume  prepayment  rates on substantially  all of our loan
portfolio based upon our historical  loan prepayment  experience and anticipated
future prepayments.  Repricing  mechanisms on a number of our assets are subject
to  limitations,  such as caps on the amount that interest rates and payments on
our loans may adjust,  and accordingly,  these assets do not normally respond to
changes in market  interest  rates as completely or rapidly as our  liabilities.
The interest rate  sensitivity of our assets and liabilities  illustrated in the
following table would vary substantially if we used different  assumptions or if
actual experience differed from the assumptions shown.

     Our six-month gap at September 30, 2001 was a positive  17.55%.  This means
that more interest-earning assets reprice within six months than total deposits,
borrowings and capital securities.  This compares to a positive six-month gap of
28.66% at December  31, 2000 and 31.93% at September  30,  2000.  We continue to
pursue our strategy of emphasizing the origination of adjustable rate mortgages.
For the twelve months ended  September 30, 2001, we originated and purchased for
investment $3.4 billion of adjustable rate loans which represented approximately
99% of all loans we originated and purchased for investment during the period.

     At  September  30, 2001,  essentially  all of our  interest-earning  assets
mature,  reprice or are  estimated to prepay  within five years,  up from 98% at
December 31, 2000 and 97% at September 30, 2000.  At September  30, 2001,  loans
held for investment and  mortgage-backed  securities  with  adjustable  interest
rates represented 91% of those portfolios.  During the third quarter of 2001, we
continued  to offer  residential  fixed  rate  loan  products  to our  customers
primarily for sale in the secondary  market.  We price and originate  fixed rate
mortgage loans for sale into the secondary  market to increase  opportunities to
originate  adjustable rate mortgages and to generate fees and servicing  income.
We also originate  fixed rate loans for portfolio to facilitate the sale of real
estate  acquired in settlement of loans and which meet specific  yield and other
approved guidelines.

     At  September  30, 2001,  $9.1 billion or 92% of our total loan  portfolio,
including  mortgage-backed  securities,  consisted  of  adjustable  rate  loans,
construction loans, and loans with a due date of five years or less, compared to
$9.4  billion or 93% at December  31, 2000 and $9.0  billion or 93% at September
30, 2000.

PROBLEM LOANS AND REAL ESTATE

Non-Performing Assets

     Non-performing  assets consist of loans on which we have ceased the accrual
of interest,  which we refer to as non-accrual  loans,  loans  restructured at a
below market rate,  real estate  acquired in settlement of loans and repossessed
automobiles.  Non-performing  assets increased $15 million during the quarter to
$75  million  or 0.70%  of  total  assets.  This  increase  was due to a rise in
residential  non-performers,  of which $7 million were subprime.  Non-performing
assets at quarter end include  non-accrual  loans  aggregating  $2 million which
were not contractually past due, but were deemed non-accrual due to management's
assessment of the borrower's ability to pay.

Allowance for Losses on Loans and Real Estate

     We  maintain  valuation  allowances  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. We adhere to an internal asset review
system and loss allowance methodology designed to provide for timely recognition
of problem assets and an adequate allowance to cover asset losses. The amount of
the  allowance  is based upon the  summation  of general  valuation  allowances,
allocated allowances and an unallocated allowance.  General valuation allowances
relate to assets with no  well-defined  deficiency  or  weakness  and takes into
consideration  loss that is imbedded  within the  portfolio but has not yet been
realized.  Allocated allowances relate to assets with well-defined  deficiencies
or weaknesses.  Included in these  allowances are those amounts  associated with
assets  where it is probable  that the value of the asset has been  impaired and
the loss can be reasonably estimated.  If we determine the net fair value of the
asset  exceeds our  carrying  value,  a specific  allowance  is recorded for the
amount of that difference.  The unallocated  allowance is more subjective and is
reviewed  quarterly to take into  consideration  estimation  errors and economic
trends that are not necessarily  captured in determining  the general  valuation
and allocated allowances.

     Allowances  for losses on all assets were $38 million at both September 30,
2001 and December 31, 2000, and $37 million at September 30, 2000.

     Our provision  for loan losses was $0.8 million in the current  quarter and
exceeded our net loan  charge-offs  by $0.7 million  resulting in an increase in
the  allowance  for loan losses to $35.0  million at  September  30,  2001.  The
current  quarter  allowance  increase  reflected  an increase of $0.7 million in
general   valuation   allowances   to  $27.1  million  due  to  an  increase  in
delinquencies.  Allocated  allowances  increased  by $0.4  million in our single
family  portfolio  and $0.2 million in our  commercial  non-mortgage  portfolio,
which was essentially  offset by a $0.6 million  decrease in the commercial real
estate mortgage portfolio.  There was no change in the unallocated  allowance of
$2.8 million.  Since year-end  2000, our allowance for loan losses  increased by
$0.6  million,  as  allocated  allowances  increased by $0.4 million and general
valuation allowances increased by $0.2 million.

     The following  table is a summary of the activity of our allowance for loan
losses during the periods indicated.

     At  September  30,  2001,  the  recorded  investment  in loans for which we
recognized  impairment  totaled  $15  million.  The total  allowance  for losses
related to these loans was $1 million.  During the third quarter of 2001,  total
interest recognized on the impaired loan portfolio was $0.4 million,  increasing
the year-to-date total to $1.3 million.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

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

     Our primary  sources of funds  generated in the third  quarter of 2001 were
from:

     o    principal repayments--including  prepayments, but excluding refinances
          of our existing loans--on loans and mortgage-backed securities of $790
          million; and
     o    maturities and sales of U.S. Treasury  securities,  agency obligations
          and other investment securities available for sale of $62 million.

     We used these funds for the following purposes:

     o    to originate and purchase loans held for investment of $745 million;
     o    for a net decrease in deposits of $171 million; and
     o    to purchase U.S.  Treasury  securities,  agency  obligations and other
          investment securities available for sale of $94 million.

     At September 30, 2001,  the Bank's ratio of regulatory  liquidity was 4.1%,
compared to 4.3% at December 31, 2000 and 4.9% at September 30, 2000.

     Downey  currently  has liquid  assets,  including  due from  Bank--interest
bearing  balances,  of $21  million  and can  obtain  further  funds by means of
dividends  from  subsidiaries,  subject to certain  limitations,  or issuance of
further debt or equity.

     Stockholders'  equity  totaled $698 million at September  30, 2001, up from
$625 million at December 31, 2000 and $603 million at September 30, 2000.

REGULATORY CAPITAL COMPLIANCE

     Our core and tangible capital ratios were 7.04% and our risk-based  capital
ratio was  14.11%.  The Bank's  capital  ratios  exceed  the "well  capitalized"
standards  of 5.00% for core  capital  and 10.00%  for  risk-based  capital,  as
defined by regulation. During the quarter, the net investment in our real estate
subsidiary  increased  by $16 million due to a  settlement  of  litigation  with
former joint venture  partners  wherein we became the sole owner of two shopping
centers.  This increase reduced regulatory capital until we are able to sell the
shopping centers and return the capital to the bank.

     The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank's  stockholder's equity
to federal regulatory capital as of September 30, 2001.
