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 normal recurring accruals unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q) necessary for a fair presentation of Downey’s financial condition as of June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and changes in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 information under the heading Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presumes 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, 2004, 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, 2004 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) – Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs")

          Key assumptions, which vary due to changes in market interest rates and are used to determine the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, include: expected prepayment speeds, which impact the average life of the portfolio; the earnings rate on custodial accounts, which impacts the value of custodial accounts; and the discount rate used in valuing future cash flows. The table below summarizes the estimated changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights for changes in those assumptions individually and in combination associated with an immediate 100 basis point increase or decrease in market rates. The table also summarizes the earnings impact associated with provisions for or reductions of the valuation allowance for mortgage servicing rights. Impairment is measured on a disaggregated basis based upon the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying mortgage loans, such as term and interest rate. Certain stratum may have impairment, while other stratum may not. Therefore, changes in overall fair value may not equal provisions for or reductions of the valuation allowance.

          The sensitivity analysis in the table below is hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 100 basis point variation in assumptions generally cannot be easily extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumptions to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect that a change in a particular assumption may have on the fair value is calculated without changing any other assumptions. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

NOTE (3) – Derivatives, Hedging Activities, Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Other Contractual Obligations (Risk Management)

Derivatives

          Downey offers short-term interest rate lock commitments to help attract potential home loan borrowers. The commitments guarantee a specified interest rate for a loan if underwriting standards are met, but do not obligate the potential borrower. Accordingly, some commitments never become loans and merely expire. The residential one-to-four unit rate lock commitments Downey ultimately expects to result in loans and sell in the secondary market are treated as derivatives. Consequently, as derivatives, the hedging of the expected rate lock commitments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Associated fair value adjustments to the notional amount of the expected rate lock commitments are recorded in current earnings under net gains (losses) on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities with an offset to the balance sheet in either other assets, or accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Fair values for the notional amount of expected rate lock commitments are based on observable market prices acquired from third parties. The carrying amount of loans held for sale includes a basis adjustment to the loan balance at funding resulting from the change in fair value of the rate lock derivative from the date of commitment to the date of funding. At June 30, 2005, Downey had a notional amount of expected rate lock commitments identified to sell as part of its secondary marketing activities of $625 million, with a change in fair value resulting in a gain of $0.1 million.

          Downey does not generally enter into derivative transactions for purely speculative purposes.

Hedging Activities

          As part of secondary marketing activities, Downey typically utilizes short-term forward sale and purchase contracts—derivatives—that mature in less than one year to offset the impact of changes in market interest rates on the value of residential one-to-four unit expected rate lock commitments and loans held for sale. In general, rate lock commitments associated with fixed rate loans require a higher percentage of forward sale contracts to mitigate interest rate risk than those associated with adjustable rate loans. Contracts designated as hedges for the forecasted sale of loans from the held for sale portfolio are accounted for as cash flow hedges because these contracts have a high correlation to the price movement of the loans being hedged (within a range of 80% - 125%). The measurement approach for determining the ineffective aspects of the hedge is established at the inception of the hedge. Changes in fair value of the notional amount of forward sale contracts not designated as cash flow hedges and the ineffectiveness of hedge transactions that are not perfectly correlated are recorded in net gains (losses) on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities. Changes in expected future cash flows related to the fair value of the notional amount of forward sale contracts designated as cash flow hedges for the forecasted sale of loans held for sale are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax, provided cash flow hedge requirements are met. The offset to these changes are recorded in the balance sheet as either other assets, or accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged forecasted transactions settle. Downey estimates that all of the related unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings within the next three months. Fair values for the notional amount of forward sale contracts are based on observable market prices acquired from third parties. At June 30, 2005, the notional amount of forward sale contracts amounted to $1.478 billion, with a change in fair value resulting in a loss of less than $0.1 million related to undesignated contracts and a gain of $0.7 million related to designated cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $905 million. There were no forward purchase contracts at June 30, 2005.

          Downey has not discontinued any designated derivative instruments associated with loans held for sale due to a change in the probability of settling a forecasted transaction.

          In connection with its interest rate risk management, Downey from time-to-time enters into interest rate exchange agreements ("swap contracts") with certain national investment banking firms or the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") under terms that provide mutual payment of interest on the outstanding notional amount of swap contracts. These swap contracts help Downey manage the effects of adverse changes in interest rates on net interest income. Downey has interest rate swap contracts on which Downey pays variable interest based on the 3-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") while receiving fixed interest. The swaps were designated as a hedge of changes in the fair value of certain FHLB fixed rate advances due to changes in market interest rates. The payment and maturity dates of the swap contracts match those of the advances. This hedge effectively converts fixed interest rate advances into debt that adjusts quarterly to movements in 3-month LIBOR. Because the terms of the swap contracts match those of the advances, the hedge has no ineffectiveness and results are reported in interest expense. The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is based on observable market prices acquired from third parties and represents the estimated amount Downey would receive or pay upon terminating the contracts, taking into consideration current interest rates and the remaining contract terms. The fair value of the swap contracts is recorded on the balance sheet in either other assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities. With no ineffectiveness, the recorded swap contract values will essentially act as fair value adjustments to the advances being hedged. At June 30, 2005, swap contracts with a notional amount totaling $430 million were outstanding and had a fair value loss of $10.8 million recorded on the balance sheet in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and as a decrease to the advances being hedged.

          These forward and swap contracts expose Downey to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the other parties—national investment banking firms, government-sponsored enterprises such as Federal National Mortgage Association and the FHLB. This risk consists primarily of the termination value of agreements where Downey is in a favorable position with an asset recorded. Downey controls the credit risk associated with these parties to the various derivative agreements through credit review, exposure limits and monitoring procedures. Downey does not anticipate nonperformance by the other parties.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

          Downey utilizes financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans held for investment, undisbursed loan funds, lines and letters of credit, commitments to purchase loans and mortgage-backed securities for portfolio and commitments to invest in community development funds. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement Downey has in particular classes of financial instruments.

          Commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and some require payment of a fee. Since some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Undisbursed loan funds on construction projects and unused lines of credit on home equity and commercial loans include committed funds not disbursed. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Downey to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Downey also enters into commitments to purchase loans and mortgage-backed securities, investment securities and to invest in community development funds.

          The following is a summary of commitments with off-balance sheet risk at the dates indicated.

(a) At June 30, 2005, outstanding commitments to invest in community development funds totaled $5.9 million. Of this amount, $4.1 million was related to projects with disbursements that are likely to occur and are therefore placed on the balance sheet and recorded in other assets and other liabilities.

          Downey uses the same credit policies in making commitments to originate loans held for investment and lines and letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. For commitments to originate loans held for investment, the committed amounts represent exposure to loss from market fluctuations as well as credit loss. For these commitments, adverse changes from market fluctuations are generally not hedged. Downey controls the credit risk of its commitments to originate loans held for investment through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. The credit risk involved in issuing lines and letters of credit requires the same creditworthiness evaluation as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Downey evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness.

          Downey receives collateral to support commitments when deemed necessary. The most significant categories of collateral include real estate properties underlying mortgage loans, liens on personal property and cash on deposit with Downey.

Other Contractual Obligations

          Downey sells all loans without recourse. When a loan sold to an investor without recourse fails to perform according to the contractual terms, the investor will typically review the loan file to determine whether defects in the origination process occurred and whether such defects give rise to a violation of a representation or warranty made to the investor in connection with the sale. If such a defect is identified, Downey may be required to either repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor for losses sustained. If there are no such defects, Downey has no commitment to repurchase the loan. During the first six months of 2005, Downey recorded less than a $1 million repurchase loss related to defects in the origination process. These loan and servicing sale contracts typically contain provisions to refund sales price premiums to the purchaser if the related loans prepay during a period not to exceed 120 days from the sale settlement date. Downey had a reserve of $1 million at June 30, 2005, $7 million at December 31, 2004 and less than $1 million at June 30, 2004 to cover the estimated loss exposure related to early payoffs.

          Through the normal course of business, Downey has entered into certain contractual obligations generally related to the funding of operations through deposits and borrowings, as well as leases for premises and equipment. Downey has obligations under long-term operating leases, principally for building space and land. Lease terms generally cover a five-year period, with options to extend, and are non-cancelable. Downey also has vendor contractual relationships, but the contracts are not considered to be material.

          At June 30, 2005, scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit, FHLB advances, senior notes and future operating minimum lease commitments were as follows:

Litigation

          On July 23, 2004, two former in-store banking employees brought an action in Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. BC318964, entitled "Michelle Cox and Mary Ann Tierra et al. v. Downey Savings and Loan Association." The complaint seeks unspecified damages for alleged unpaid overtime wages, inadequate meal and rest breaks, and other unlawful business practices and related claims. The plaintiffs also obtained class action status to represent all other current and former California employees who held the position of branch manager or assistant manager at in-store branches who (a) were treated as exempt and not paid overtime between July 23, 2000 and November 2002 and (b) allegedly received inadequate meal/rest periods since October 1, 2000. At a mediation in March 2005, the parties agreed to settle the lawsuit and in June 2005 the court preliminarily approved the settlement, with final approval expected later this year. Based upon the proposed settlement, management previously established a reserve for this matter and believes it constitutes a reasonable estimate of the loss exposure. Therefore, management believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its operations, cash flows or financial position.

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

NOTE (4) – 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 has examined Downey’s tax returns for all tax years through 2002, while state taxing authorities have reviewed tax returns through 2000. Downey’s management believes it has adequately provided for potential exposure to issues that may be raised by tax auditors in years which remain open to review.

Page 11

NOTE (5) – Employee Stock Option Plans

          Downey has a Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), which provides for the granting of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance awards and other awards. The LTIP specifies an authorization of 434,110 shares (adjusted for stock dividends and splits) of common stock to be available for issuance, of which 131,851 shares are available for future grants. Under the LTIP, options are exercisable over vesting periods specified in each grant and, unless exercised, the options terminate in five or ten years from the date of the grant. Further, under the LTIP, the option price shall at least equal or exceed the fair market value of such shares on the date the options are granted. No shares have been granted under the LTIP since 1998. At June 30, 2005, Downey had 381,239 shares of treasury stock that may be used to satisfy the exercise of options or for payment of other awards. No other stock-based compensation plan exists.

          Downey measures its employee stock-based compensation arrangements under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the stock options, as stock options were granted at fair value at the date of grant. Had compensation expense for stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for previous awards, stock-based compensation would have been fully expensed as of December 31, 2002.

NOTE (6) – Earnings Per Share

          Earnings per share is calculated on both a basic and diluted basis, excluding common shares in treasury. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings 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 the 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.

NOTE (8) – Current Accounting Issues

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R

          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services." Accounting for employee-stock-ownership-plan transaction ("ESOP’s") will continue to be accounted for in accordance with SOP 93-6, "Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans." SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees, but expresses no preference for a type of valuation model. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange commission extended compliance with SFAS 123R so that it is effective for the first interim reporting period in the next fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. It is not expected that SFAS 123R will have a material financial impact on Downey, unless a significant number of new option grants are made.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153

          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29" ("SFAS 153"), requires exchanges of nonmonetary assets be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS 153 eliminates the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. Previously, APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished with no gain recognition. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and is to be applied prospectively. SFAS 153 is not expected to have a material financial impact on Downey.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154

          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("SFAS 154"), replaces APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 changes the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by new accounting standards when the standard does not include specific transition provisions, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, though early adoption is permitted as of the date this Statement was issued, which was May of 2005. SFAS 154 is not expected to have a material financial impact on Downey.

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-1

          In March of 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached consensus on the guidance provided in EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments." Among other investments, this guidance is applicable to debt and equity securities that are within the scope of Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Paragraph 10 of EITF 03-1 specifies that an impairment would be considered other-than-temporary unless (a) the investor has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the recovery of the fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment and (b) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. A company’s liquidity and capital requirements should be considered when assessing its intent and ability to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time that would allow the fair value of the investment to recover up to or beyond its cost. A pattern of selling investments prior to the forecasted fair value recovery may call into question a company’s intent. In addition, the severity and duration of the impairment should also be considered when determining whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. This guidance was effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004 with the exception of paragraphs 10 - 20 of EITF 03-1, which was to be deliberated further.

          Subsequently, the Board decided not to provide additional guidance on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment, but directed the staff to issue proposed FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 03-1a, “Implementation Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No. 03-1,” as final. The final FSP (retitled FSP FAS 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”) will replace the guidance set forth in paragraphs 10-18 of Issue 03-1. FSP FAS 115-1 will clarify that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no later than when the impairment is deemed other than temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. The Board decided that FSP FAS 115-1 would be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in periods beginning after September 15, 2005. It is not expected to have a material financial impact on Downey.

ITEM 2. – 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. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical information or current facts. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by use of terms such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could" or "may." 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. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made.

OVERVIEW

          Our net income for the second quarter of 2005 totaled $64.1 million or $2.29 per share on a diluted basis, up from $27.8 million or $0.99 per share in the second quarter of 2004.

          The increase in our net income between second quarters primarily reflected:

Those favorable factors were partially offset by:

          For the first six months of 2005, our net income totaled $115.8 million or $4.15 per share on a diluted basis, more than triple the $36.7 million or $1.31 per share for the first six months of 2004. The increase primarily reflected higher gains from sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities, higher net interest income, a favorable change in securities gains/losses and an increase in loan and deposit related fees. Those favorable items were partially offset by higher operating expense and a decline in our income from real estate held for investment.

          For the current quarter, our return on average assets was 1.51%, up from 0.83% a year ago, while our return on average equity was 23.62%, up from 11.95% a year ago. For the first six-month periods, our return on average assets increased from 0.58% a year ago to 1.40%, while our return on average equity increased from 7.94% to 21.90%.

          Our loan originations (including purchases) totaled $4.133 billion in the current quarter, up 6.8% from $3.869 billion a year ago. Loans originated for sale increased $1.487 billion to $2.766 billion, while single family loans originated for portfolio declined by $1.117 billion to $1.272 billion. Of the current quarter total originated for portfolio, $133 million represented subprime credits. At quarter end, the subprime portfolio totaled $1.3 billion, with an average loan-to-value ratio at origination of 71% and, of the total, 96% represented "Alt. A and A-" credits. In addition to single family loans, $94 million of other loans were originated in the current quarter.

          At quarter end, our assets totaled $16.612 billion, up $2.390 billion or 16.8% from a year ago and up $963 million or 6.2% from year-end 2004. During the current quarter, our assets declined $281 million due primarily to a $341 million decline in loans held for sale.

          At June 30, 2005, our deposits totaled $11.042 billion, up 23.4% from the year-ago level and $1.384 billion or 14.3% since year-end 2004. During the quarter, three new traditional branches were opened. This brings our total number of branches to 172, of which 92 were in-store and four were located in Arizona. A year ago, we had 167 branches, of which 95 were in-store and three were located in Arizona.

          Our non-performing assets declined $4 million during the quarter to $25 million or 0.15% of total assets. The decrease occurred in our prime residential loan category, which was partially offset by an increase in our subprime residential loan category.

          At June 30, 2005, Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A. (the "Bank"), our primary subsidiary, exceeded all regulatory capital tests, with capital-to-asset ratios of 7.31% for both tangible and core capital and 14.11% for risk-based capital. These capital levels are significantly above the “well capitalized” standards defined by the federal banking regulators of 5% for core and tangible capital and 10% for risk-based capital.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          We have established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in Downey’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain accounting policies require us to make significant estimates and assumptions which could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and we consider these to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions which could have a material impact on the future carrying value of assets and liabilities and our results of operations. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

          We believe the following are critical accounting policies that require the most judicious estimates and assumptions, which are particularly susceptible to significant change in the preparation of our financial statements:

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 and borrowings (“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 $94.0 million in the current quarter, up $17.4 million or 22.6% from the same period last year. The increase reflected an increase of 27.6% in average interest-earning assets to $16.540 billion in the current quarter. The effective interest rate spread averaged 2.27% in the current quarter, down from 2.36% a year ago and 2.38% in the previous quarter. The decline in our effective interest rate spread was due to a higher level of deferred loan origination costs being written-off in the current quarter related to loan repayments. Those write-offs were, in part, offset by higher loan prepayment fees recognized in other income.

          For the first six months of 2005, net interest income totaled $188.1 million, up $42.1 million from a year ago. The increase was due to higher interest-earning asset levels, partially offset by a lower effective interest rate spread.

          The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of:

          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:

          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 and borrowings—for the quarters 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 believe we will recover the remaining principal balance of the loans. We computed average balances for the quarter using the average of each month’s daily average balance during the periods indicated.

(c) Starting in the first quarter of 2004, the impact of swap contracts was included, with notional amounts totaling $430 million of receive-fixed, pay-3-month LIBOR variable interest, which contracts serve as a permitted hedge against a portion of our FHLB advances.
(d) In June 2004, we issued $200 million of 6.5% 10-year senior notes. In July 2004, we redeemed our junior subordinated debentures before their maturity.

          For the first six months of 2005, our total other income was $131.5 million, up $98.4 million from a year ago. The increase primarily reflected higher gains from sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities, a favorable change in securities gains/losses and higher loan and deposit related fees. Those favorable items were partially offset by a decline in our income from real estate and joint ventures held for investment.

          Below is a further discussion of the major other income categories.

Loan and Deposit Related Fees

          Loan and deposit related fees totaled $25.6 million in the current quarter, up $11.2 million from a year ago. The increase was primarily in our loan related fees which were up $10.5 million due to higher loan prepayment fees. Deposit related fees were up $0.7 million or 10.2%.

Secondary Marketing Activities

          We service loans for others and those activities generated a loss of $2.5 million in the current quarter, compared to income of $13.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The primary reason for the $16.3 million unfavorable change was that the current quarter included an addition to the impairment for MSRs of $2.6 million, whereas the year-ago quarter included a $14.3 million reduction of impairment.

          Loans we service for others with capitalized MSRs totaled $2.249 billion at quarter end, up from $2.100 billion at year-end 2004, but down from $9.243 billion a year ago. The decline from a year ago reflected our sale of approximately 80% of our MSRs during the fourth quarter of 2004. In addition to the loans we serviced for others with capitalized MSRs at June 30, 2005, we serviced $8.014 billion of loans on a sub-servicing basis for which we have no risk associated with changing MSR values. On loans we sub-service, we receive a fixed fee per loan each month.

          Sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities we originated for sale increased from $1.139 billion a year ago to $3.093 billion in the current quarter. Net gains associated with these sales totaled $48.8 million in the current quarter, up from $15.7 million a year ago. The increase was due to a higher volume and gain per dollar of loans sold. Excluding the impact of SFAS 133, a gain of 1.54% of secondary market sales was realized, up from 1.08% a year ago. Net gains in the current quarter included the capitalization of MSRs of $1.2 million, compared to $12.1 million a year ago.

Securities Available for Sale

          In the second quarter of 2004, we purchased and sold securities classified as available for sale that we acquired as a partial economic hedge against value changes in our MSRs and recognized a loss of $21.3 million. No securities were held as a partial economic hedge against value changes in our MSRs during the current quarter due to the sale of approximately 80% of our MSRs during the fourth quarter of 2004. In the current quarter, we recorded a gain of $1,000 from sales of securities as a result of normal business activity.

          For the first six months of 2005, we recorded gains on sales of securities of $28,000, compared to the year-ago period loss of $19.2 million as a result of the partial economic hedge against value changes in our MSRs. For further information, see Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk on page 37.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities

          Total loans and mortgage-backed securities, including those we hold for sale, declined $322 million during the current quarter to a total of $15.4 billion or 92.7% of total assets at June 30, 2005. The decline was due primarily to a $341 million decline in loans held for sale.

          Our loan originations, including loans purchased, totaled $4.133 billion in the current quarter, up 6.8% from the $3.869 billion we originated in the second quarter of 2004 but 2.8% below the $4.250 billion we originated in the first quarter of 2005. Loans originated for sale increased $1.487 billion over the year-ago quarter to $2.766 billion, while one-to-four unit residential loans originated for portfolio declined $1.117 billion to $1.272 billion. Of our current quarter originations for portfolio, $133 million represented subprime credits. Our prepayment speed, which measures the annualized percentage of loans repaid, for one-to-four unit residential loans declined from 47% a year ago to 37% in the current quarter, but was up from 30% in the first quarter of 2005. During the current quarter, 79% of our residential one-to-four unit originations represented refinance transactions. This is down slightly from 81% in the first quarter of 2005 but up from 77% in the year-ago quarter. In addition to single family loans, we originated $94 million of other loans in the current quarter.

          As to our current quarter originations of adjustable one-to-four unit residential loans originated for portfolio, including loans purchased,:

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

          Our adjustable rate mortgages:

          Most of our adjustable rate mortgages adjust the interest rate monthly and the payment amount annually. These mortgages:

Page 30

If a loan incurs significant negative amortization, the loan-to-value ratio could increase which also increases credit risk, as the fair value of the underlying collateral could be insufficient to satisfy fully the outstanding loan obligation. A loan-to-value ratio is the proportion of the principal amount of the loan to the lower of the sales price or appraised value of the property securing the loan at origination. Our loan documents limit the amount of negative amortization that can occur. Our current practice imposes a limit on the amount of negative amortization to 110% of the original loan amount. However, our loan portfolio held for investment does contain loans previously originated with a limit of principal plus negative amortization of 125% of the original loan amount. At June 30, 2005, loans with the higher 125% limit on negative amortization represented 8% of our adjustable rate one-to-four unit residential portfolio, while those with the 110% limit represented 79%. We permit adjustable rate mortgages to be assumed by qualified borrowers.

          At June 30, 2005, $12.0 billion or 87% of the adjustable rate mortgages in our loan portfolio were subject to negative amortization, of which $72 million or approximately 0.6% represented the amount of negative amortization included in the loan balance. The amount of negative amortization increased $21 million from the March 31, 2005 level. During the current quarter, approximately 15% of our loan interest income represented negative amortization, up from 11% in the first quarter of 2005 and 3% in the year-ago second quarter.

          We also will continue to originate residential fixed interest rate mortgage loans to meet consumer demand, but we intend to sell the majority of these loans. We expect to sell some of our production of adjustable rate loans into the secondary market as needed to manage our balance sheet to remain in compliance with regulatory capital requirements. We sold $3.093 billion of loans and mortgage-backed securities in the current quarter, compared to $2.030 billion in the first quarter of 2005 and $1.139 billion in the year-ago second quarter. All but minor amounts were secured by residential one-to-four unit property, and at June 30, 2005, loans held for sale totaled $914 million.

          At June 30, 2005, our unfunded loan application pipeline totaled $2.6 billion. Within that pipeline, we had commitments to borrowers for short-term interest rate locks, excluding expected fallout, of $1.0 billion, of which $807 million were related to residential one-to-four unit loans being originated for sale in the secondary market. Furthermore, at June 30, 2005, we had commitments on undrawn lines of credit of $409 million and loans in process of $82 million. We believe our current sources of funds will enable us to meet these obligations.

(a) Reflected the change in fair value of the rate lock derivative from the date of commitment to the date of funding.

          We carry loans for sale at the lower of cost or fair value. At June 30, 2005, no valuation allowance was required as the fair value exceeded book value on an aggregate basis.

          At June 30, 2005, our residential one-to-four units subprime portfolio totaled $1.3 billion and consisted of 96% “Alt. A and A-” credit, 3% “B” credit and 1% “C” credit loans. The average loan-to-value ratio at origination for these loans was 71%.

          We carry mortgage-backed securities available for sale at fair value which, at June 30, 2005, was essentially equal to our cost basis.

(a) At June 30, 2005, virtually all of our securities had step-up provisions that stipulate increases in the coupon rate ranging from 0.25% to 4.00% at various specified times over a range from May 2005 to September 2014. Yields for securities available for sale are calculated using historical cost balances and do not give effect to changes in fair value that are reflected as a component of stockholders’ equity.

Deposits

          At June 30, 2005, our deposits totaled $11.0 billion, up $2.1 billion or 23.4% from the year-ago level and up $733 million or 7.1% since March 31, 2005. Compared to the year-ago period, our certificates of deposit increased $3.3 billion or 78.5%, which was partially offset by a decrease in our transaction accounts—i.e., checking, money market and regular passbook—of $1.2 billion or 25.5%. As short-term market interest rates have continued to rise over the past year, our customers have moved monies from regular passbook accounts into certificates of deposit.

          During the quarter, three new traditional branches were opened. This brings our total number of branches to 172, of which 92 were in-store and four were located in Arizona. A year ago, we had 167 branches, of which 95 were in-store and three were located in Arizona. At June 30, 2005, the average deposit size of our 80 traditional branches was $110 million, while the average deposit size of our 92 in-store branches was $24 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

          We consolidate majority-owned subsidiaries that we control. We account for other affiliates, including joint ventures, in which we do not exhibit significant control or have majority ownership, by the equity method of accounting. For those relationships in which we own less than 20%, we generally carry them at cost. In the course of our business, we participate in real estate joint ventures through our wholly-owned subsidiary, DSL Service Company. Our real estate joint ventures do not require consolidation as a result of applying the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 46 (revised December 2003).

          We also utilize financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers and to reduce our own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans held for investment, undisbursed loan funds, lines and letters of credit, commitments to purchase loans and mortgage-backed securities for our portfolio and commitments to invest in community development funds. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments. For further information, see Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk on page 37 and Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 8.

          We use the same credit policies in making commitments to originate or purchase loans, lines of credit and letters of credit as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. For commitments to originate loans held for investment, the contract amounts represent exposure to loss from market fluctuations as well as credit loss. In regard to these commitments, adverse changes from market fluctuations are generally not hedged. We control the credit risk of our commitments to originate loans held for investment through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.

          We do not dispose of troubled loans or problem assets by means of unconsolidated special purpose entities.

Transactions with Related Parties

          There are no related party transactions required to be disclosed in accordance with FASB Statement No. 57, Related Party Disclosures. Loans to our executive officers and directors were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms as comparable transactions.

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. Interest rate risk primarily occurs to the degree that our interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature on a different basis 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, our principal objectives are to actively monitor and manage the effects of adverse changes in interest rates on net interest income. Our primary strategy to manage interest rate risk is to emphasize the origination for investment of adjustable rate mortgages or loans with relatively short maturities. Interest rates on adjustable rate mortgages are primarily tied to COFI, MTA, LIBOR and CMT. We also may execute swap contracts to change interest rate characteristics of our interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities to better manage interest rate risk.

          In addition to the interest rate risk associated with our lending for investment and deposit taking activities, we also have market risk associated with our secondary marketing activities. Changes in mortgage interest rates, primarily fixed rate mortgages, impact the fair value of loans held for sale as well as our interest rate lock commitment derivatives, where we have committed to an interest rate with a potential borrower for a loan we intend to sell. Our objective is to hedge against fluctuations in interest rates through use of forward sale and purchase contracts with national investment banking firms and government-sponsored enterprises and whole loan sale contracts with various parties. These contracts are typically obtained at the time the interest rate lock commitments are made. Therefore, as interest rates fluctuate, the changes in the fair value of our interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale tend to be offset by changes in the fair value of the hedge contracts. We continue to hedge as previously done before the issuance of SFAS 133. As applied to our risk management strategies, SFAS 133 may increase or decrease reported net income and stockholders’ equity, depending on interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on the overall economics of the transactions. 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, is established at the inception of the hedge. We generally do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

          Changes in mortgage interest rates also impact the value of our MSRs. Rising interest rates typically result in slower prepayment speeds on the loans being serviced for others which increase the value of MSRs. Declining interest rates typically result in faster prepayment speeds which decrease the value of MSRs. We may use securities or derivatives, or a combination of both, to provide an economic hedge against value changes in our MSRs. In addition, the dollar amount used as an economic hedge may vary due to changes in the volume of MSRs or their sensitivity to changes in market interest rates.

          There has been no significant change in our market risk since December 31, 2004.

          One measure of our exposure to differential changes in interest rates between assets and liabilities is shown in the following table which sets forth the repricing frequency of our major asset and liability categories as of June 30, 2005, as well as other information regarding the repricing and maturity differences between our interest-earning assets and total deposits and borrowings 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 set forth.

          Our six-month gap at June 30, 2005 was a positive 16.62%. This means that more interest-earning assets mature or reprice within six months than total deposits and borrowings. This compares to our positive six-month gap of 17.05% at December 31, 2004 and 20.33% a year ago.

          We continue to emphasize the origination of adjustable rate mortgages for our investment portfolio and plan to sell the originations in excess of our balance sheet needs into the secondary market to the extent we can do so profitably. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2005, we originated and purchased for investment $7.7 billion of adjustable rate loans which represented essentially all of the loans we originated and purchased for investment during the period.

          At June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 essentially all of our interest-earning assets mature, reprice or are estimated to prepay within five years. At June 30, 2005, $14.3 billion or essentially all of our loans held for investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios consisted of adjustable rate loans and loans with a due date of five years or less, compared to $13.2 billion or 99% at December 31, 2004, and $12.2 billion or 99% a year ago. During the current quarter, 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 occasionally originate a small number of 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 June 30, 2005, our adjustable rate mortgage portfolio of single family residential loans, including mortgage-backed securities, totaled $14.7 billion with a weighted average rate of 5.37%, compared to $13.9 billion with a weighted average rate of 4.61% at December 31, 2004, and $12.4 billion with a weighted average rate of 4.30% at June 30, 2004.

Problem Loans and Real Estate

Non-Performing Assets

          Non-performing assets consist of loans on which we have ceased accruing 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. Our non-performing assets declined $4 million during the current quarter to $25 million or 0.15% of total assets. The decrease occurred in our prime residential loan category, which was partially offset by an increase in our subprime residential loan category.

Allowance for Losses on Loans and Real Estate

          We maintain a valuation allowance for losses on loans and real estate to provide for losses inherent in those portfolios. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance quarterly to maintain the allowance at levels sufficient to provide for inherent losses at the balance sheet date.

          We use an internal asset review system and loss allowance methodology to provide for timely recognition of problem assets and adequate general valuation allowances to cover asset losses. The amount of the allowance is based upon the total of general valuation allowances, allocated allowances and an unallocated allowance. General valuation allowances relate to assets with no well-defined deficiency or weakness and take into consideration losses that are imbedded within the portfolio but have 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 carrying value of our asset exceeds the net fair value and no alternative payment source exists, then 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 June 30, 2005, compared to $36 million at December 31, 2004, and $35 million a year ago.

          In the current quarter, our provision for loan losses was $0.6 million and net loan charge-offs totaled $0.9 million, resulting in a decrease in the allowance for loan losses from $37 million to $36 million at June 30, 2005. The current quarter decrease in the allowance reflected a decrease of $0.4 million in the general valuation allowance due to a decrease in the loan portfolio. There was no change in our unallocated allowance of $2.8 million.

          The following table summarizes the activity in our allowance for loan losses for the quarters indicated.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

          Our sources of funds include deposits, advances from the FHLB and other borrowings; proceeds from the sale of loans, mortgage-backed securities and real estate; 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 second quarter of 2005 were from:

          We used these funds to:

          Our principal source of liquidity is our ability to utilize borrowings, as needed. Our primary source of borrowings is the FHLB. At June 30, 2005, our FHLB borrowings totaled $4.0 billion, representing 24.1% of total assets. We currently are approved by the FHLB to borrow up to 50% of total assets to the extent we provide qualifying collateral and hold sufficient FHLB stock. That approved limit would have permitted us, as of quarter end, to borrow an additional $4.3 billion. To the extent deposit growth over the remainder of 2005 falls short of satisfying ongoing commitments to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans and make investments, we may utilize the additional capacity from our FHLB borrowing arrangement or other sources. As of June 30, 2005, we had commitments to borrowers for short-term rate locks, excluding expected fallout, of $1.0 billion, undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit of $491 million, operating leases of $19 million and commitments to invest in community development funds of $2 million. We believe our current sources of funds, including repayments of existing loans, enable us to meet our obligations while maintaining liquidity at appropriate levels.

          The holding company currently has adequate liquid assets to meet its obligations and can obtain further funds by means of dividends from subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations, or issuance of further debt or equity. At June 30, 2005, the holding company’s liquid assets, including due from Bank—interest bearing balances, totaled $41 million.

          Stockholders’ equity totaled $1.1 billion at June 30, 2005, up from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2004 and $942 million a year ago.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

          Through the normal course of operations, we have entered into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. Our obligations generally relate to funding of our operations through deposits and borrowings as well as leases for premises and equipment, and our commitments generally relate to our lending operations. We have obligations under long-term operating leases, principally for building space and land. Lease terms generally cover a five-year period, with options to extend, and are non-cancelable. Currently, we have no material contractual vendor obligations.

          We executed interest rate swap contracts to change interest rate characteristics of a portion of our FHLB advances to better manage interest rate risk. The contracts have notional amounts totaling $430 million of receive-fixed, pay 3-month LIBOR variable interest and serve as a permitted fair value hedge.

          Our commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment. Undisbursed loan funds on construction projects and unused lines of credit on home equity and commercial loans include committed funds not disbursed. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

          Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing lines and letters of credit requires the same creditworthiness evaluation as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness.

          We receive collateral to support commitments when deemed necessary. The most significant categories of collateral include real estate properties underlying mortgage loans, liens on personal property and cash on deposit with us.

          We enter into derivative financial instruments as part of our interest rate risk management process, including forward sale and purchase contracts related to our sale of loans in the secondary market. The associated fair value changes to the notional amount of the derivative instruments are recorded on-balance sheet. The total notional amount of our derivative financial instruments do not represent future cash requirements. For further information, see Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk on page 37 and Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 8.

          We sell all loans without recourse. When a loan sold to an investor without recourse fails to perform according to the contractual terms, the investor will typically review the loan file to determine whether defects in the origination process occurred and whether such defects give rise to a violation of a representation or warranty made to the investor in connection with the sale. If such a defect is identified, we may be required to either repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor for losses sustained. If there are no such defects, we have no commitment to repurchase the loan. During the first six months of 2005, we recorded less than a $1 million repurchase loss related to defects in the origination process. These loan and servicing sale contracts typically contain provisions to refund sales price premiums to the purchaser if the related loans prepay during a period not to exceed 120 days from the sale settlement date. We reserved $1 million at June 30, 2005, $7 million at December 31, 2004 and less than $1 million at June 30, 2004 to cover the estimated loss exposure related to early payoffs. See Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 8.

Regulatory Capital Compliance

          At June 30, 2005, our core and tangible capital ratios were both 7.31% and our risk-based capital ratio was 14.11%. The Bank’s capital ratios compare favorably with the “well capitalized” standards of 5.00% for core capital and 10.00% for risk-based capital, as defined by regulation.

          The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank’s stockholder’s equity to federal regulatory capital as of June 30, 2005.

ITEM 3. – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

          For information regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk on page 37.

ITEM 4. – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

          As of June 30, 2005, Downey carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Downey’s management, including Downey’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Downey’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Downey’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no significant changes during the most recent quarter in Downey’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date.

          Disclosure controls and procedures are defined in SEC rules as controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Downey’s disclosure controls and procedures were designed to ensure that material information related to Downey, including subsidiaries, is made known to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a timely manner.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. – Legal Proceedings

          On July 23, 2004, two former in-store banking employees brought an action in Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. BC318964, entitled "Michelle Cox and Mary Ann Tierra et al. v. Downey Savings and Loan Association." The complaint seeks unspecified damages for alleged unpaid overtime wages, inadequate meal and rest breaks, and other unlawful business practices and related claims. The plaintiffs also obtained class action status to represent all other current and former California employees who held the position of branch manager or assistant manager at in-store branches who (a) were treated as exempt and not paid overtime between July 23, 2000 and November 2002 and (b) allegedly received inadequate meal/rest periods since October 1, 2000. At a mediation in March 2005, the parties agreed to settle the lawsuit and in June 2005 the court preliminarily approved the settlement, with final approval expected later this year. Based upon the proposed settlement, management previously established a reserve for this matter and believes it constitutes a reasonable estimate of the loss exposure. Therefore, management believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its operations, cash flows or financial position.

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

ITEM 2. – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

          None.

ITEM 3. – Defaults Upon Senior Securities

          None.
