Certain matters discussed in this Annual Report may constitute "forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which Downey Financial Corp. ("Downey," "we," "us" and "our") operates, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market and statements regarding our mission and vision. 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, the outcome of ongoing audits by regulatory and taxing authorities and government regulation and factors, identified under Item 1A. Risk Factors on page 22. 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, except as required by law.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
We were incorporated in Delaware on October 21, 1994. On January 23, 1995, after we obtained necessary stockholder and regulatory approvals, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Downey Savings and Loan Association ("Bank") and the Banks stockholders became holders of our stock. Downey was thereafter funded by the Bank and presently operates as the Banks holding company. Our stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "DSL."
Corporate Governance Guidelines, charters for the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board of Directors and Code of Ethical Conduct for Directors and Financial Officers and Summary of the Employee Code of Ethical Conduct are available free of charge from our internet site, www.downeysavings.com, by clicking on "Investor Relations" on our home page and proceeding to "Corporate Governance." Annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports are posted on our internet site as soon as reasonably practical after we file them with the SEC and are available free of charge under "Reports - Corporate Filings" on our "Investor Relations" page.
The Bank was formed in 1957 as a California-licensed savings and loan association and converted to a federal charter in 1995. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank conducts its business primarily through 172 retail deposit branches, including 90 full-service, in-store branches.
The Bank is regulated or affected by the following governmental entities and laws:

General economic conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and the regulatory policies of governmental authorities significantly influence our operations. Additionally, interest rates on competing investments and general market interest rates influence our deposit flows and the costs we incur on deposits and borrowings, which represent our cost of funds. Similarly, market interest rates and other factors that affect the supply of, and demand for, housing and the availability of funds affect our loan volume, our yields on loans and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), as well as the valuation of our mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") associated with the loans we service for others.
Our primary business is banking and we are also involved in real estate investments, each of which we discuss further below.
Banking is our primary business. Our banking activities focus on:
Mortgage-backed securities include mortgage pass-through securities issued by other entities and securities issued or guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises ("GSE") like the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Government National Mortgage Association.
Our primary sources of revenue from our banking business are:
Our principal expenses and losses in connection with our banking business are:
Our primary sources of funds from our banking business are:
Scheduled payments we receive on our loans and mortgage-backed securities and certain fees from loans and deposits are a relatively stable source of funds. However, the funds we receive from sales and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities can vary widely. Below is a more detailed discussion of our banking activities.

Our lending activities emphasize originating first mortgage loans secured by residential properties. We continue to focus on the origination of adjustable rate single family mortgage loans for our portfolio. To a lesser extent, we originate for portfolio other loans including:
We will also continue our secondary marketing activities of originating and selling single family mortgage loans to various investors.
For more information, see Secondary Marketing and Loan Servicing Activities on page 6. For additional information on the composition of our loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolio, see Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities on page 45.
Loan and Mortgage-Backed Securities Portfolio
We carry loans held for investment at cost. Net loans are adjusted for unamortized premiums and unearned discounts, which are amortized into interest income over the life of the underlying loans using the interest method. Investments in mortgage-backed securities represent participating interests in pools of first mortgage loans and are typically serviced by the issuers of the securities. We carry mortgage-backed securities held to maturity at unpaid principal balances, which are adjusted for unamortized premiums and unearned discounts. We amortize premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed securities over the life of the underlying securities using the interest method.
We identify loans that may be sold before their maturity. In our balance sheets, we classify these as loans held for sale and record them at the lower of amortized cost or fair value on an aggregate basis. The cost includes a basis adjustment to the loan at funding resulting from the change in the fair value of the associated interest rate lock derivative from the date of rate lock to the date of funding. We recognize net unrealized losses on these loans, if any, in a valuation allowance by making charges to our income. Downey may sell loans which had been held for investment. In such instances, the loans are transferred to the held for sale portfolio at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. If any part of a decline in value of the loans transferred is due to credit deterioration, that decline is recorded as a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses.
Loans are transferred from held for sale to held for investment at the lower of cost or fair value. If there is an adjustment due to a decline in fair value, the loss is recorded in current earnings within the category of net gains on sales of loans at the time of transfer.
We carry mortgage-backed securities available for sale at fair value. In stockholders equity on our balance sheet, we report net unrealized gains or losses on these securities, net of income taxes, as accumulated other comprehensive income until realized, unless we deem the security other than temporarily impaired. If we determine the security is other than temporarily impaired, we charge the amount of the impairment to current earnings.

Residential Real Estate Lending
Our primary lending activity is originating mortgage loans secured by residential one-to-four unit properties located primarily in California. Residential loans are originated:
We provide these loans for borrowers to purchase residences or to refinance their existing mortgage loans, and they typically have contractual maturities at origination of 15 to 40 years. To limit the interest rate risk associated with these 15- to 40-year maturities, we, among other things, principally originate adjustable rate mortgage loans for our own loan portfolio. For more information, see Asset/Liability Management on page 8. We also originate residential fixed rate mortgage loans to meet consumer demand, but we sell the majority of these loans in the secondary market. We may, however, place residential fixed rate loans in our portfolio of loans held for investment if these fixed rate loans meet specific yield, interest rate risk and other approved guidelines, or to facilitate our sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans. The average term of the fixed rate mortgage loans we originate for our own portfolio historically has been significantly shorter than their contractual maturity as a result of home sales, refinancings and prepayments. For more information, see Secondary Marketing and Loan Servicing Activities on page 6.
Our adjustable rate mortgage loans generally:
Most of our adjustable rate mortgage loans are adjustable rate loan products subject to negative amortization with an interest rate that adjusts monthly and a minimum monthly loan payment that adjusts annually. The start rate is lower than the fully-indexed rate and is the effective interest rate for the loan only during the first month. After the first month, interest accrues at the fully-indexed rate. The start rate, however, is used to calculate the minimum monthly loan payment for the first twelve months. The borrower is required to make at least the minimum monthly payment, but retains the option to make a larger payment to reduce loan principal and avoid negative amortization, (the addition to loan principal of accrued interest that exceeds the required minimum monthly loan payment). If the borrower chooses to make the required minimum monthly loan payment, and the interest accrual based on the fully-indexed rate results in monthly interest due exceeding the payment amount, the loan balance will increase by the difference. These payment options are clearly defined in the loan documents signed by the borrower at funding and explained again on the borrowers monthly statement.
More particularly, these loans currently:

The maximum home loan we currently make for our own portfolio, except for limited amounts related to Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) activities, is equal to 85% of a propertys appraised value; however, any loan in excess of 80% of appraised value generally requires private mortgage insurance. Typically, this insures the loan down to a 75% loan-to-value ratio, consistent with secondary marketing requirements. If a loan incurs negative amortization, the loan-to-value ratio could rise, which increases credit risk, and the fair value of the underlying collateral could be insufficient to satisfy fully the outstanding loan obligation in the event of a loan default.
Our loan portfolio held for investment does contain loans previously originated with a limit on the maximum loan balance of 125% of the original loan amount. At December 31, 2007, loans with the higher 125% limit on the maximum loan balance represented 2% of our one-to-four unit residential loan portfolio, while those with the 115% limit represented 5% and those with the 110% limit represented 62%. We permit adjustable rate mortgage loans to be assumed by qualified borrowers. For more information, see Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities on page 45.
While start rates of our loan products fluctuate with the market, we do not use them to qualify a loan applicant. Rather, we qualify an applicant for adjustable rate mortgage loans using a fully-amortizing payment calculated from the higher of the fully-indexed rate or, currently, for our:
For loans subject to negative amortization, applicants also are qualified based on the full amount of negative amortization permitted by their loans. For interest-only loans, we qualify applicants at the fully amortizing payment amount based on a fully indexed rate.
During 2007, approximately 65% of our one-to-four unit residential real estate loans were originated or purchased through outside mortgage brokers with the remaining amount originated by our residential loan officers. Mortgage brokers do not operate from our offices and are not our employees.
We require that our residential real estate loans be approved at various levels of management, depending upon the amount of the loan and credit risk it presents. On a single family residential loan we originate for our portfolio, the maximum amount we generally will lend is $3 million. Our average loan size, however, is much lower. In 2007, our average loan size was $505,000.
In the approval process for the loans we originate or purchase, we assess both the value of the property securing the loan and the applicants ability to repay the loan. Qualified staff appraisers or outside appraisers establish the value of the collateral through appraisals or alternative valuation formats that meet regulatory requirements. Based on risk-based criteria, certain appraisal reports prepared by outside appraisers are reviewed by our staff appraisers or by approved fee appraisers. We obtain information about the applicants income, financial condition, employment and credit history. Depending on the loan product type, borrower credit history, loan-to-value ratio and other underwriting criteria and judgment, we may not deem it necessary to verify stated borrower income and/or reported assets. We also require that borrowers obtain hazard insurance for all residential real estate loans covering the lower of the loan amount or the replacement value of the residence and, as required, flood insurance.
When underwriting a home equity loan or line of credit, all loans secured by a property are taken into account. The maximum amount Downey will lend is 80% of all combined loans to the propertys appraised value. The loan-to-value ratio is calculated using the full credit line and, with respect to first mortgage loans subject to negative amortization, the maximum permissible loan balance. For these reasons, the risk involved with our home equity loans and home equity lines of credit is similar to the risk involved with our residential real estate loans.

Secondary Marketing and Loan Servicing Activities
As part of our secondary marketing activities, we originate residential real estate adjustable rate mortgage loans and fixed rate mortgage loans that we intend to sell. These loans are primarily secured by first liens on one-to-four unit residential properties and generally have maturities of 40 years or less.
We believe that servicing loans for others can be an important asset/liability management tool because it provides an asset whose value tends to move opposite to changes in market interest rates. In contrast to other components of the Banks balance sheet, a loan servicing portfolio normally increases in value as interest rates rise and loan prepayments decrease and declines in value as interest rates fall and loan prepayments increase. In addition, increased levels of servicing activity and the opportunity to offer our other financial services in servicing loans for others can provide us with additional income with minimal additional overhead costs.
Depending upon market pricing for servicing, we sell loans either servicing retained or servicing released. When we sell loans servicing retained, we record gains or losses from these loans at the time of sale based on the difference between the net sales proceeds and the allocated basis of the loans sold. We capitalize MSRs at fair value for residential one-to-four unit mortgage loans we originate and sell with servicing rights retained and for MSRs acquired through purchase at the lower of cost or fair value. We disclose MSRs associated with the origination and sale of loans in our financial statements as a component of the net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities. We recognize impairment losses on the MSRs through a valuation allowance and record any associated provision as a component of the loan servicing income (loss), net category. For further information, see Note 1 on page 92 and Note 10 on page 109 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Generally, we use hedging programs to manage the interest rate risk of our secondary marketing activities. For further information, see Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk on page 60.
As part of our secondary marketing activity, we enter into forward sales commitments with investors to deliver an MBS collateralized by our loans. This is accomplished through a securitization transaction, which involves the receipt of an MBS from a GSE in exchange for loans that we sell to that GSE. Settlement of the forward sales commitment and the securitization transaction occurs on the same day, whereby we do not retain the MBS. However, based on market conditions in the future, we may retain the MBS for a period of time prior to selling it in the capital markets. In this event, we will not record a gain or loss from the exchange on the date of securitization. However, if we intend to sell the MBS, we will designate the MBS as a trading security in our Consolidated Balance Sheet with changes in fair value included in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Lending
We provide permanent loans secured by multi-family and retail neighborhood shopping center properties. Our major loan officers conduct our multi-family and commercial real estate lending activities.
Multi-family and commercial real estate loans generally entail additional risks as compared with single family residential mortgage lending. We subject each loan, including loans to facilitate the sale of real estate we own, to our underwriting standards, which generally include:
To protect the value of the security for our loan, we require borrowers to maintain casualty insurance for the lesser of the loan amount or replacement cost. In addition, for non-residential loans in excess of $500,000, we require the borrower to obtain comprehensive general liability insurance. All commercial real estate loans we originate must be approved by at least two of our officers, one of whom must be the originating major loan officer and the other a designated officer with appropriate loan approval authority.
Construction and Land Lending
We provide loan financing for construction of single family and multi-family residential properties and commercial real estate projects and for land development. Our major loan officers principally originate these loans. We generally make construction and land loans at floating interest rates based upon the prime or reference rate of a major commercial bank. Generally, we require a loan-to-value ratio of 80% or less, and we subject each loan to our underwriting standards.

Construction loans involve risks different from completed project lending because we advance loan funds based upon the security of the completed project under construction. If the borrower defaults on the loan, we may have to advance additional funds to finance the projects completion before the project can be sold.
Moreover, construction projects are affected by uncertainties inherent in estimating:
When providing construction and land loans, we usually require the general contractor to, among other things, carry contractors liability insurance equal to specific prescribed minimum amounts, carry builders risk insurance and have a blanket bond against employee misappropriation.
Commercial Lending
We maintain traditional private banking credit products and services for our existing high net worth, relationship-based customers. Our portfolio emphasis is toward floating interest rate loans and lines of credit. We also provide deposit account products and services to meet the needs of business relationships maintained at the Bank.
Consumer Lending
The Bank originates lines of credit and other consumer loan products. Before we make a consumer loan, we assess the applicants ability to repay the loan and, if applicable, the value of the collateral securing the loan. We offer customers a credit card through a third party, who extends the credit and services the loans made to our customers.
As a federally chartered savings association, the Banks ability to invest in securities is prescribed by OTS regulations and the Home Owners Loan Act. The Banks authorized officers make investment decisions within guidelines established by the Banks Board of Directors. The Bank manages these investments in an effort to produce the highest yield, while at the same time maintaining safety of principal, minimizing interest rate and credit risk, and complying with applicable regulations.
We carry securities held to maturity at amortized cost. We adjust these costs for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which we recognize in interest income using the interest method. We carry securities available for sale at fair value. We exclude unrealized holding gains and losses, or valuation allowances established for net unrealized losses, from our earnings and report them as a separate component of our stockholders equity as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes, until realized unless the security is deemed other than temporarily impaired. If the security is determined to be other than temporarily impaired, we charge the amount of the impairment to operations. For further information on the composition of our investment portfolio, see Investment Securities on page 54.
We prefer to use deposits raised through our retail branch system as our principal source of funds for supporting our lending activities because the cost of these funds generally is less than that of borrowings or other funding sources with comparable maturities. We traditionally have obtained our deposits primarily from areas surrounding the Banks branch offices. However, we may raise some retail deposits through deposit brokers.
General economic conditions affect deposit flows. Funds may flow from depository institutions such as savings associations directly into investment vehicles like government and corporate securities. Our ability to attract and retain deposits is affected by market conditions, prevailing interest rates and available competing investment vehicles. Generally, federal regulation does not restrict interest rates we pay on deposits.
For further information, see Deposits on page 57.
Page 7 |

Besides deposits, we utilize other sources to fund our loan origination and other business activities. We have at times relied upon our borrowings from the FHLB of San Francisco or the issuance of corporate debt as additional sources of funds. The FHLB of San Francisco makes advances to us through several different credit programs it offers.
From time to time, we sell securities and mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase to provide additional funding. These repurchase agreements are generally short-term and are collateralized by our mortgage-backed and investment securities or our mortgage loans. We only deal with investment banking firms that are recognized as primary dealers in U.S. government securities or major commercial banks in connection with these repurchase agreements. In addition, we limit the amounts of our borrowings from any single institution.
For further information, see Borrowings on page 58.
Net interest income is our primary source of earnings. We determine our net interest income or the interest rate spread by calculating the difference between:
Our net interest income is also affected by the relative dollar amounts of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Our effective interest rate spread, which reflects the relative level of our interest-earning assets to our interest-bearing liabilities, equals:

We are affected by interest rate risk to the degree our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting principally of retail deposits and FHLB advances, reprice or mature on a different basis and frequency than our interest-earning assets, which primarily consist of adjustable rate and fixed rate real estate loans and investment securities. While having liabilities that on average mature or reprice more frequently than assets may be beneficial in times of declining interest rates, this asset/liability structure may result in declining net interest income during periods of rising interest rates. Our principal objective is to actively monitor and manage the adverse effects of fluctuations in interest rates on our net interest income.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
We also engage in real estate investment activities through DSL Service Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. DSL Service Company is a diversified real estate development company established in 1966 as a neighborhood shopping center and residential tract developer. Today, its capabilities include development, construction and property management activities relating to its portfolio of projects in California and Arizona. In addition, DSL Service Company invests in joint ventures with other qualified real estate developers. Its primary revenue sources include net rental income and gains from the sale of real estate investments. Its primary expenses are interest expense and general and administrative expense.
Federal law prohibits the Bank from directly investing in real estate development and joint venture operations and requires the Bank to deduct the full amount of its investment in DSL Service Company in calculating its applicable ratios under the core, tangible and risk-based capital standards. Savings associations generally may invest in service corporation subsidiaries, like DSL Service Company, to the extent of 2% of the associations assets, plus up to an additional 1% of assets for investments which serve primarily community, inner-city or community development purposes. These capital deductions and limitations apply only to saving associations and their subsidiaries.
For further information, see Investments in Real Estate and Joint Ventures on page 55.
We face competition both in attracting deposits and in making loans. Savings institutions and commercial banks located in our principal market areas, including many large financial institutions based in other parts of the country or their subsidiaries, provide the most direct competition. In addition, we face significant competition for investors funds from short-term money market securities and other corporate and government securities. Our ability to attract and retain savings deposits depends, generally, on our ability to provide a rate of return, liquidity, acceptable risk and customer service comparable to that offered by competitors.
We experience competition for real estate loans principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks, mortgage banking companies and insurance companies. We compete for loans principally through our interest rates and loan fees we charge and our efficiency and quality of services we provide borrowers and real estate brokers.
At December 31, 2007, we had 1,850 full-time employees and 633 part-time employees. We provide our employees with health and welfare benefits and a retirement and savings plan. Additionally, we offer qualifying employees participation in our stock purchase plan. Our employees are not represented by any union or collective bargaining group, and we consider our employee relations to be good.
Federal and state laws extensively regulate savings and loan holding companies and savings associations. This regulation is intended primarily to protect our depositors and the DIF and is not for the benefit of our stockholders. Below we describe some of the regulations applicable to us, the Bank and DSL Service Company. We do not claim this discussion is complete and qualify our discussion by reference to applicable statutory or regulatory provisions.
General
We are a savings and loan holding company and are subject to regulatory oversight by the OTS. We are required to register and file reports with the OTS and are regulated and examined by the OTS. The OTS has enforcement authority over us, which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit our activities that it determines to be a serious risk to the Bank.

Activities Restrictions
As a savings and loan holding company with only one savings and loan association subsidiary, we generally are not limited by OTS activity restrictions, provided the Bank satisfies the qualified thrift lender test or meets the definition of a domestic building and loan association in the Internal Revenue Code. If we acquire control of another savings association as a separate subsidiary of Downey, we would become a multiple savings and loan holding company. As a multiple savings and loan holding company, our activities, other than the activities of the Bank, would become subject to restrictions applicable to bank holding companies under the Bank Holding Company Act unless these other savings associations were acquired in a supervisory acquisition and each also satisfies the qualified thrift lender test or meets the definition of a domestic building and loan association. For more information, see Qualified Thrift Lender Test on page 13.
Restrictions on Acquisitions and Changes of Control
Prior to acquiring control of any additional insured depository institution, we must obtain bank regulatory approval from the appropriate agencies. The OTS generally prohibits acquisitions that result in a structure involving a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings associations in more than one state. However, the OTS does permit interstate acquisitions and mergers of depository institutions where the transaction is either approved by specific state authorization or is a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.
Federal law generally provides that no person or company, acting directly or indirectly or through or in concert with one or more other persons, may acquire "control" of a federally insured savings association unless the person gives at least 60 days prior written notice to the OTS. The OTS then has the opportunity to disapprove the proposed acquisition on financial, reputation or other grounds.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses accounting oversight and corporate governance matters, including:
This legislation and its implementing regulations have resulted in increased costs of compliance, including certain outside professional costs.
General
The OTS extensively regulates the Bank because the Bank is federally chartered, and the FDIC has certain authority to regulate the Bank as a DIF-insured depository institution. The Bank must ensure that its lending activities and its other investments comply with various statutory and regulatory requirements. The Bank is also regulated by the Federal Reserve with respect to reserve requirements for transaction accounts and non-personal time deposits.
Regulation and supervision by the banking agencies establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage. The regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies regarding the classification of assets and adequate credit loss reserves for regulatory purposes.
The OTS regularly examines the Bank and prepares reports for the Banks Board of Directors to consider with respect to any deficiencies the OTS finds in the Banks operations. The Bank is subject to potential enforcement actions by their federal regulators for unsafe or unsound practices in conducting its businesses or for violations of any law, rule, regulation, or any condition imposed in writing by the agency or any written agreement with the agency. Federal and certain state laws also regulate the relationship between the Bank and its depositors and borrowers, especially in matters regarding the ownership of accounts, the handling of checks and the disclosures provided by the Bank, as well as the financial privacy rights of the Banks customers.

The Bank must file reports with the OTS concerning its activities and financial condition. In addition, the Bank must file notices or obtain regulatory approvals before entering into some transactions. A savings association that seeks to establish a new subsidiary, acquires control of an existing company, or conducts a new activity through a subsidiary must provide 30 days prior notice to the OTS and conduct any activities of the subsidiary in compliance with regulations and orders of the OTS. The OTS may require a savings association to divest any subsidiary or terminate any activity conducted by a subsidiary that the OTS determines to pose a serious threat to the financial safety, soundness or stability of the savings association or to be otherwise inconsistent with sound banking practices.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
The Bank is a member of the FHLB of San Francisco. Among other benefits, each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. Each FHLB is financed primarily from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. Each FHLB makes available loans or advances to its members in compliance with the policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the individual FHLB. As an FHLB of San Francisco member, we are required to own a certain amount of capital stock in the FHLB of San Francisco. At December 31, 2007, we were in compliance with the stock requirements.
Cease and Desist Order
On August 30, 2007, the Bank consented to the issuance of a Cease and Desist Order (the "Order") by the OTS as a result of certain concerns of the OTS relating to the Banks compliance with specific provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA"). No fine or civil money penalty was imposed in connection with the Order. The Order does not restrict the business operations of the Bank. The Order requires the Bank to take certain affirmative actions to ensure its compliance with BSA, including, among other things: strengthening the Banks written program for compliance with federal anti-money laundering ("AML") and BSA requirements; engaging an independent consultant to review and enhance compliance with AML and BSA requirements; expanding and improving customer identification policies and procedures; adopting policies and procedures to identify higher risk customers and report suspicious activities more effectively; conducting a comprehensive review and independent testing and audit of its AML/BSA program; developing a comprehensive BSA training program for appropriate personnel; and making periodic progress reports to the OTS Regional Director.
We do not expect compliance with the Order to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We expect some additional expenses to be incurred in connection with making the improvements necessary to strengthen our BSA program.
Regulatory Lending Operations Requirements
Some notable regulatory changes applicable to our lending operations are discussed below.
Subprime Lending Guidelines
Subprime lending involves extending credit to individuals with weakened credit histories. As a result of a number of federally insured financial institutions extending their lending risk selection standards to attract lower credit quality borrowers due to their loans having higher interest rates and fees, the federal banking regulatory agencies jointly issued Interagency Guidelines on Subprime Lending in 2001. The guidelines consider subprime lending a high-risk activity that is unsafe and unsound if the risks are not properly controlled. The guidelines set forth the expectations of regulatory capital at one and one-half to three times higher than that typically set aside for prime assets for institutions that have:
Our subprime portfolio, pursuant to our definition, represented 38.1% of Tier 1 capital as of year-end 2007. We are required by the OTS to risk weight our subprime residential loans at a 75% risk weighting. This change increases the required regulatory capital associated with our subprime loans by one and one-half times that of prime residential loans.
On June 29, 2007, the federal banking agencies issued guidance on subprime mortgage lending to address issues related to adjustable rate mortgage products marketed to subprime borrowers. Although the guidance focuses on subprime borrowers, the principles contained in the guidance are also relevant to adjustable rate mortgages offered to prime borrowers. Consistent with the Guidance on Nontraditional Mortgage Products (discussed below), this guidance continues to encourage financial institutions to evaluate a borrowers repayment
Page 11 |

capacity. In addition, it emphasizes the need to evaluate a borrowers debt-to-income ratio. The guidance recommends that institutions refer to Real Estate Guidelines (12 CFR §§560.101, App.), which provide underwriting standards for all real estate loans. The guidance promotes consumer protection principles relevant to the marketing of mortgage loans and states that financial institutions should provide consumers with information about costs, terms, features and risks of the loan to borrowers.
The federal banking agencies announced their intention to scrutinize more closely underwriting, risk management and consumer compliance processes, policies and procedures of its supervised financial institutions and their intention to take action against institutions that engage in predatory lending practices, violate consumer protection laws or fair lending laws, engage in unfair or deceptive acts or practices or otherwise engage in unsafe or unsound lending practices.
Guidance on Nontraditional Mortgage Products
In September 2006, the federal banking agencies issued final guidance on alternative residential mortgage loan products that allow borrowers to defer repayment of principal and sometimes interest, including "interest-only" mortgage loans, and "payment option" adjustable rate mortgage loans where a borrower has flexible payment options, including payments that have the potential for negative amortization. While acknowledging that innovations in mortgage lending can benefit some consumers, the final guidance states that management should (1) assess a borrowers ability to repay the loan, including any principal balances added through negative amortization, at the fully indexed rate that would apply after the incentive interest rate period, (2) recognize that certain nontraditional mortgage loans are untested in a stressed environment and warrant strong risk management standards as well as appropriate capital and loan loss reserves, and (3) ensure that borrowers have sufficient information to clearly understand loan terms and associated risks prior to making a product or payment choice. Management believes the Bank has implemented appropriate measures to comply with this guidance.
As of December 31, 2007, the Bank held residential one-to-four unit portfolio loans with balances of $9.7 billion under reduced documentation programs.
Commercial Real Estate Lending
In December 2006, the federal banking agencies finalized guidance for banks and thrifts with high and increasing concentrations of commercial real estate (CRE) lending. The OTS issued separate CRE guidance which provides that OTS institutions actively engaged in CRE lending should implement sound risk management procedures commensurate with the size and risks of their CRE portfolios and establish concentration thresholds for internal reporting and monitoring. The Bank has established such risk management procedures and internal concentration thresholds. We believe the Bank has sufficient capital levels appropriate for the risk associated with our CRE concentration.
Guidance on Loss Mitigation Strategies for Servicers of Residential Mortgages
On September 5, 2007, the federal banking agencies issued a statement encouraging regulated institutions and state-supervised entities that service residential mortgages to pursue strategies to mitigate losses while preserving homeownership to the extent possible and appropriate. The guidance recognizes that many mortgage loans, including subprime loans, have been transferred into securitization trusts and servicing for such loans is governed by contracts. The guidance advises servicers to review governing documentation to determine the full extent of their authority to restructure loans that are delinquent or are in default or are in imminent risk of default.
The guidance encourages servicers to take proactive steps to preserve homeownership in situations where there are heightened risks to homeowners losing their homes to foreclosures. Such steps may include loan modification; deferral of payments; extensions of loan maturities, conversion of adjustable rate mortgages into fixed rate or fully indexed, fully amortizing adjustable rate mortgages; capitalization of delinquent amounts; or any combination of these actions.
Pending Subprime Legislation and Regulatory Proposals
As a result of the subprime mortgage crisis, federal and state legislative agencies are considering a broad variety of legislative and regulatory proposals covering mortgage loan products, loan terms and underwriting standards, risk management practices and consumer protection. It is unclear which, if any, of these initiatives will be adopted, what effect they will have on Downey or the Bank and whether any of these initiatives will change the competitive landscape in the mortgage industry.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test
The OTS requires savings associations to meet a qualified thrift lender or "QTL" test. The test may be met either by maintaining a specified level of assets in qualified thrift investments as specified in the Home Owners Loan Act or by meeting the definition of a "domestic building and loan association" " in the Internal Revenue Code. Qualified thrift investments are primarily residential mortgage loans and related investments, including some mortgage-related securities. The required percentage of investments under the Home Owners Loan Act is 65% of assets while the "domestic building and loan association" definition under the Internal Revenue Code requires investments of 60% of assets. The qualified thrift investment asset test requires that compliance be met on a monthly basis in nine out of every twelve months, while the "domestic building and loan association" test under the Internal Revenue Code is measured as of the close of each tax year. Associations failing to meet the qualified thrift lender test are generally allowed only to engage in activities permitted for both national banks and savings associations.
The FHLB also relies on the qualified thrift lender test. A savings association will only enjoy full borrowing privileges from an FHLB if the savings association is a qualified thrift lender. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank was in compliance with its qualified thrift lender test requirement and met the definition of a domestic building and loan association.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts
The DIF, as administered by the FDIC, insures the Banks deposit accounts up to the maximum amount permitted by law. The FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits based on the risk a particular institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. Under this system during 2007, DIF members paid within a range of 0% to 0.27% of insured domestic deposits. The amount of the assessment paid by an institution is based on its relative risk of default as measured by regulatory capital ratios and other supervisory factors. The enactment in February 2006, of the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 ("FDIRA") provided, among other things, changes in the formula and factors to be considered by the FDIC in calculating the FDIC reserve ratio, assessments and dividends, and a one-time aggregate assessment credit for depository institutions in existence on December 31, 1996 (or their successors) which paid assessments to recapitalize the insurance funds after the banking crises of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The FDIC issued final regulations, effective January 1, 2007, implementing the provisions of FDIRA and in February 2007 issued for comment guidelines, including business line concentrations and risk of failure and severity of loss in the event of failure, to be used by the FDIC for possibly raising premiums by up to 0.50 basis points for large banks with $10 billion or more in assets. The Bank received a one-time assessment credit that reduced assessments by the FDIC in 2007.
The Bank, as a former member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund, also pays, in addition to its normal deposit insurance premium, assessments towards the retirement of the Financing Corporation Bonds (known as FICO Bonds) issued in the 1980s to assist in the recovery of the savings and loan industry. These assessments will continue until the FICO Bonds mature in 2017. For the fourth quarter of 2007, this assessment was equal to .0114% of insured deposits.
The FDIC may terminate insurance of deposits upon a finding that an institution:
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Bank must meet regulatory capital standards to be deemed in compliance with OTS capital requirements. OTS capital regulations require savings associations to meet the following three capital standards:
At December 31, 2007, the Banks regulatory capital exceeded all minimum regulatory capital requirements. See Regulatory Capital Compliance on page 80.
Page 13 |
Navigation Links |
The OTS views its capital regulation requirements as minimum standards, and it expects most institutions to maintain capital levels well above the minimum. In addition, OTS regulations provide that the OTS may establish minimum capital levels higher than those specified in the regulations for individual savings associations upon a determination that the savings associations capital is or may become inadequate in view of its circumstances. OTS regulations provide that higher individual minimum regulatory capital requirements may be appropriate in circumstances where, among others, a savings association:
The Bank is presently not required to meet any such individual minimum regulatory capital requirement.
The current risk-based capital guidelines are based upon the 1988 capital accord of the International Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. A new international accord, referred to as Basel II, which emphasizes internal assessment of credit, market and operational risk, supervisory assessment and market discipline in determining minimum capital requirements, currently becomes mandatory for large international banks outside the U.S. in 2008. In November 2007, the federal banking agencies adopted a final rule to implement Basel II in the United States that requires compliance for U.S. financial institutions with over $250 billion in assets or total on-balance-sheet foreign exposure of $10 billion or more (referred to as "core banks"). The final rule will be effective as of April 1, 2008. It adopts the most complex regime of risk-based capital referred to by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as the advanced measurement approach. Other financial institutions can elect to be governed by Basel II. The advanced measurement approach would not apply to Downey or the Bank, and management does not contemplate electing to calculate its risk-based capital based on the Basel II capital framework.
One of the tensions created by the adoption of the advanced measurement approach for core-banks has been the prediction that this approach would lower capital requirements for institutions adopting this approach. This has raised significant concern by other U.S. financial institutions as they may be at a competitive disadvantage under Basel I. To address these concerns and provide more flexibility to U.S. financial institutions that have not adopted the advanced measurement approach, the agencies agreed to proceed promptly to issue a proposed rule that would provide all financial institutions that are not core banks with the option to continue under Basel I standards or to adopt a "standardized approach" under Basel II. The standardized approach would provide non-core banks with an alternative that affords more risk-sensitive capital requirements and simpler approaches for both credit risk and operational risk. The proposal is also expected to provide greater differentiation across corporate exposures based on borrowers underlying credit quality and to recognize a broader spectrum of credit-risk mitigation techniques. The agencies intend that the proposed standardized option would be finalized before the core banks begin the first transition period year under Basel II. Neither Downey nor the Bank have made any decision as to whether they will attempt to adopt the standardized approach.
Consumer Relief Initiative for Borrowers
In October 2007, Treasury Secretary Paulson announced the Homeowner Assistance Initiative to encourage mortgage servicers, mortgage counselors, government officials and non-profit groups to coordinate their efforts to help struggling borrowers restructure their mortgage payments and stay in their homes. The initiative, called HOPE NOW, is aimed at coordinating and improving outreach to borrowers, developing best practices for mortgage counselors across the country and ensuring that groups able to help homeowners work out new loan arrangements with lenders have adequate resources to carry out this mission.
Economic Stimulus Plan for Home Buyers and Home Owners
Congress recently enacted an economic stimulus plan that President Bush signed into law on February 13, 2008. While the main thrust of the plan is to stimulate the economy with a significant infusion of cash to consumers, the plan also addresses the current lack of liquidity in the mortgage market. The plan will temporarily increase the maximum size of mortgage loans (the conforming loan limit) that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac purchase from the current $417,000 cap to a maximum of $729,750. The plan would also permanently raise the cap on the Federal Housing Administrations conforming loan limit from $362,000 to $729,750. These changes are intended to, among other purposes, provide more liquidity for originators of larger mortgage loans, make lower interest rates available to homebuyers for such loans and enable homeowners to refinance such loans at lower interest rates.

FFIEC Guidance on Pandemic Planning
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") issued guidance on December 12, 2007, for use by financial institutions in identifying the continuity planning that should be in place to minimize the potential adverse effects of a pandemic. This guidance expanded upon the contents of an Interagency Advisory on Influenza Pandemic Preparedness issued in March 2006. The guidance asserts that pandemic planning presents unique challenges to financial institutions. It further explains that unlike most natural or technical disasters and malicious acts, the impact of a pandemic is much more difficult to determine because of the anticipated difference in scale and duration, and as a result of these differences, no individual or organization is safe from the potential adverse effects of a pandemic event. The guidance cites experts who believe the most significant challenge may be the severe staffing shortages that will likely result from a pandemic outbreak.
The guidance states that the FFIEC agencies believe the potentially significant effects a pandemic could have on an institution justify establishing plans to address how each institution will manage a pandemic event.
Accordingly, the guidance recommends that an institutions business continuity plan should include:
Downey and the Bank are evaluating how to incorporate pandemic planning into their business continuity plans.
Prompt Corrective Action
The OTSs prompt corrective action regulation requires the OTS to take mandatory actions and authorizes the OTS to take discretionary actions against a savings association that falls within any undercapitalized capital category specified in the regulation.
The regulation establishes five categories of capital classification:
The OTS regulation uses an institutions risk-based capital, core capital and tangible capital ratios to determine the institutions capital classification. An institution is treated as well capitalized if its total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio is 10.00% or more; its core capital to risk-weighted assets ratio is 6.00% or more; and its core capital to adjusted total assets ratio is 5.00% or more. At December 31, 2007, the Banks capital ratios exceed these minimum percentage requirements for well capitalized institutions.
The Home Owners Loan Act permits savings associations not in compliance with the OTS capital standards to seek an exemption from penalties or sanctions for noncompliance. The OTS will grant an exemption only if the savings association meets strict requirements. In addition, the OTS must deny the exemption in some circumstances. If the OTS does grant an exemption, the savings association still may be exposed to enforcement actions for other violations of law or unsafe or unsound practices or conditions.

Loans-to-One-Borrower
Savings associations generally are subject to the lending limits applicable to national banks. With limited exceptions, the maximum amount that a savings association or a national bank may lend to any borrower, including some related entities of the borrower, at one time may not exceed:
Savings associations are additionally authorized by order of the Director of OTS to make loans to one borrower in an amount not to exceed the lesser of $30 million or 30% of unimpaired capital and surplus to develop residential housing, provided:
At December 31, 2007, the Banks loans-to-one-borrower limit was $229 million based on the 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus measurement, or $381 million for loans secured by readily marketable collateral. The Banks largest lending relationship consisted of one loan to a non-related party totaling a commitment of $69 million, of which $57 million had been disbursed as of December 31, 2007 with the borrower paying as agreed.
Extensions of Credit to Insiders and Transactions with Affiliates
The Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve Board Regulation O, which applies to the Bank, place limitations and conditions on loans or extensions of credit to:
Loans and leases extended to any of the above persons must comply with the loan-to-one-borrower limits, require prior full Board of Directors approval when aggregate extensions of credit to the person exceed specified amounts, must be made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as, and follow credit-underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-insiders, and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. In addition, Regulation O provides that the aggregate limit on extensions of credit to all insiders of a bank as a group cannot exceed a banks unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Regulation O also prohibits the Bank from paying an overdraft on an account of an executive officer or director, except pursuant to a written pre-authorized interest-bearing extension of credit plan that specifies a method of repayment or a written pre-authorized transfer of funds from another account of the officer or director at the Bank.
The Bank also is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act and FRB Regulation W as well as the Home Owners Loan Act, on any extensions of credit to, or the issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on behalf of, any affiliates, the purchase of, or investments in, stock or other securities thereof, the taking of such securities as collateral for loans, and the purchase of assets of any affiliates. Such restrictions prevent any affiliates from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by marketable obligations of designated amounts. Further, such secured loans and investments to or in any affiliate are limited, individually, to 10% of the Banks capital and surplus (as defined by federal regulations), and such secured loans and investments are limited, in the aggregate, to 20% of the Banks capital and surplus. Some entities included in the definition of an affiliate are parent companies, sister banks, sponsored and advised companies and investment companies whereby the Bank or its affiliate serves as investment advisor. Additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates may be imposed on us under the prompt corrective action provisions of federal law. See Prompt Corrective Action on page 15. Under the Home Owners Loan Act, no loan or other extension of credit may be made to an affiliate unless that affiliate is engaged only in activities permissible for a bank holding company, and no savings association may purchase or invest in securities issued by an affiliate other than with respect to shares of a subsidiary.

Capital Distribution Limitations
A savings association that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as the Bank, must file an application or a notice with the OTS at least 30 days before making a capital distribution. Savings associations are not required to file an application for permission to make a capital distribution and need only file a notice if the following conditions are met:
Any other situation would require a savings association to file an application with the OTS. The OTS may disapprove an application or notice if the proposed capital distribution would:
As of December 31, 2007, the Banks capital distributions have been made in accordance with regulatory requirements.
USA PATRIOT Act of 2001
The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and its implementing regulations significantly expanded the anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws.
Under the USA PATRIOT Act, financial institutions are required to establish and maintain anti-money laundering programs which include:
The Bank has adopted comprehensive policies and procedures to address the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act. Material deficiencies in anti-money laundering compliance can result in public enforcement actions by the banking agencies, including the imposition of civil money penalties and supervisory restrictions on growth and expansion. Such actions could have serious reputation consequences for us and the Bank.
Consumer Protection Laws and Regulations
Examination and enforcement by bank regulatory agencies for non-compliance with consumer protection laws and their implementing regulations have become more intense in nature. The Bank is subject to many federal consumer protection statutes and regulations, some of which are discussed below. We and the Bank are also subject to federal and state laws prohibiting unfair or fraudulent business practices, untrue or misleading advertising and unfair competition.
Page 17 |

The Home Ownership and Equal Protection Act of 1994, or HOEPA, requires extra disclosures and consumer protections to borrowers for certain lending practices. The term "predatory lending," much like the terms "safety and soundness" and "unfair and deceptive practices," is far-reaching and covers a potentially broad range of behavior. As such, it does not lend itself to a concise or a comprehensive definition. Predatory lending typically involves at least one, and perhaps all three, of the following elements:
Regulations and banking agency guidelines aimed at curbing predatory lending significantly widen the pool of high-cost home-secured loans covered by HOEPA. In addition, the regulations bar certain refinances within a year with another loan subject to HOEPA by the same lender or loan servicer. Lenders also will be presumed to have violated the lawwhich says loans should not be made to people unable to repay themunless they document that the borrower has the ability to repay. Lenders that violate the rules face cancellation of loans and penalties equal to the finance charges paid. We do not expect these rules and potential state action in this area to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Privacy Policies are required by federal banking regulations which limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. Pursuant to those rules, financial institutions must provide:
These privacy protections affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors.
In addition, state laws may impose more restrictive limitations on the ability of financial institution to disclose such information. California has adopted such a privacy law that, among other things, generally provides that customers must "opt in" before information may be disclosed to certain nonaffiliated third parties.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, or the FACT Act, requires financial firms to help deter identity theft, including developing appropriate fraud response programs, and gives consumers more control of their credit data. It also reauthorizes a federal ban on state laws that interfere with corporate credit granting and marketing practices. In connection with the FACT Act, the financial institution regulatory agencies proposed rules that would prohibit an institution from using certain information about a consumer it received from an affiliate to make a solicitation to the consumer, unless the consumer has been notified and given a chance to opt out of such solicitations. A consumers election to opt out would be applicable for at least five years. The agencies have also proposed guidelines required by the FACT Act for financial institutions and creditors which require financial institutions to identify patterns, practices and specific forms of activity, known as "Red Flags," that indicate the possible existence of identity theft and require financial institutions to establish reasonable policies and procedures for implementing these guidelines.
On November 7, 2007, the federal banking agencies adopted regulations to implement the affiliate marketing provisions contained in section 214 of the FACT Act. Full compliance is required by October 1, 2008. The regulations generally prohibit a company from using information received from an affiliate to solicit a consumer for marketing purposes, unless the consumer is given notice and an opportunity and simple method to opt out of such solicitations. The regulations provide that (i) notice must be given by an affiliate that has or has previously had a pre-existing business relationship with the consumer and (ii) the election of a consumer to opt out must be effective for a period of at least five years, unless the consumer subsequently revokes the opt-out in writing or, if the consumer agrees, electronically. Bank and Downey do not share information with affiliates for the purpose of allowing an affiliate to market its products or services to consumers. Information shared between affiliates is limited to information permitted to be shared without consumer consent.

The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, or Check 21, facilitates check truncation and electronic check exchange by authorizing a new negotiable instrument called a "substitute check," which is the legal equivalent of an original check. Check 21 does not require banks to create substitute checks or accept checks electronically; however, it does require banks to accept a legally equivalent substitute check in place of an original. In addition to its issuance of regulations governing substitute checks, the Federal Reserve has issued final rules governing the treatment of remotely created checks (sometimes referred to as "demand drafts") and electronic check conversion transactions (involving checks that are converted to electronic transactions by merchants and other payees).
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, or ECOA, generally prohibits discrimination in any credit transaction, whether for consumer or business purposes, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (except in limited circumstances), receipt of income from public assistance programs, or good faith exercise of any rights under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
The Truth in Lending Act, or TILA, is designed to ensure that credit terms are disclosed in a meaningful way so that consumers may compare credit terms more readily and knowledgeably. As a result of the TILA, all creditors must use the same credit terminology to express rates and payments, including the annual percentage rate, the finance charge, the amount financed, the total of payments and the payment schedule, among other things.
The Fair Housing Act, or FH Act, regulates many practices, including making it unlawful for any lender to discriminate in its housing-related lending activities against any person because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap or familial status. A number of lending practices have been found by the courts to be, or may be considered, illegal under the FH Act, including some that are not specifically mentioned in the FH Act itself.
The Community Reinvestment Act, or CRA, is intended to encourage insured depository institutions, while operating safely and soundly, to help meet the credit needs of their communities. The CRA specifically directs the federal regulatory agencies, in examining insured depository institutions, to assess a banks record of helping meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound banking practices. The CRA further requires the agencies to take a financial institutions record of meeting its community credit needs into account when evaluating applications for, among other things, domestic branches, mergers or acquisitions, or holding company formations. In November, 2006, the OTS issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend its CRA regulations in certain areas to align its CRA rule with the rule adopted by the other federal banking agencies. The agencies use the CRA assessment to rate the financial institution. The ratings range from a high of "outstanding" to a low of "substantial noncompliance." In its last examination for CRA compliance, as of December 2004, the Bank was rated "satisfactory."
The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, or HMDA, grew out of public concern over credit shortages in certain urban neighborhoods and provides public information that will help show whether financial institutions are serving the housing credit needs of the neighborhoods and communities in which they are located. The HMDA also includes a "fair lending" aspect that requires the collection and disclosure of data about applicant and borrower characteristics as a way of identifying possible discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing anti-discrimination statutes. In 2004, the FRB amended regulations issued under HMDA to require the reporting of certain pricing data with respect to higher-priced mortgage loans. This expanded reporting is being reviewed by federal banking agencies and others from a fair lending perspective. We do not expect that the HMDA data reported by the Bank will raise material issues regarding the Banks compliance with the fair lending laws.
The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, or RESPA, requires lenders to provide borrowers with disclosures regarding the nature and cost of real estate settlements. Also, RESPA prohibits certain abusive practices, such as kickbacks, and places limitations on the amount of escrow accounts.
The National Flood Insurance Act, or NFIA, requires homes in flood-prone areas with mortgages from a federally regulated lender to have flood insurance. Hurricane Katrina focused awareness on this requirement. Lenders are required to provide notice to borrowers of special flood hazard areas and require such coverage before making, increasing, extending or renewing such loans. Financial institutions which demonstrate a pattern and practice of lax compliance are subject to the issuance of cease and desist orders and the imposition of per loan civil money penalties, up to a maximum fine which currently is $125,000. Fine payments are remitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for deposit into the National Flood Mitigation Fund.
Penalties under the above laws may include fines, reimbursements and other penalties. Due to heightened regulatory concern related to compliance with the HOEPA, privacy laws and regulations, the FACT Act, Check 21, ECOA, TILA, FH Act, CRA, HMDA, RESPA and NFIA generally, the Bank may incur additional compliance costs or be required to expend additional funds for CRA investments.

Regulation of DSL Service Company
DSL Service Company is licensed as a real estate broker under the California Real Estate Law and as a contractor with the Contractors State License Board. Thus, its activities, including development, construction and property management activities relating to its portfolio of projects, are governed by a variety of laws and regulations. Changes occur frequently in the laws and regulations or their interpretation by agencies and the courts. DSL Service Company must comply with various federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning zoning, building design, construction, hazardous waste and similar matters. Environmental laws and regulations also affect its operations, including regulations pertaining to availability of water, municipal sewage treatment capacity, land use, protection of endangered species, population density and preservation of the natural terrain and coastlines. These and other requirements could become more restrictive in the future, resulting in additional time, expense and constraints in connection with DSL Service Companys real estate activities.
With regard to environmental matters, the construction products industry is regulated by federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to several areas including human health and safety and environmental compliance. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, as well as analogous laws in some states, create joint and several liability for the cost of cleaning up or correcting releases to the environment of designated hazardous substances. Among those who may be held jointly and severally liable are those who generated the waste, those who arranged for disposal, those who owned or operated the disposal site or facility at the time of disposal, and current owners.
In general, this liability is imposed in a series of governmental proceedings initiated by the governments identification of a site for initial listing as a "Superfund site" on the National Priorities List or a similar state list and the governments identification of potentially responsible parties who may be liable for cleanup costs. None of DSL Service Companys project sites are listed as a "Superfund site."
In addition, California courts have imposed warranty-like responsibility upon developers of new housing for defects in structure and the housing site, including soil conditions. This responsibility is not necessarily dependent upon a finding that the developer was negligent.
As a licensed entity, DSL Service Company is also examined and supervised by the California Department of Real Estate and the Contractors State License Board.
Federal
Savings institutions are taxed like other corporations for federal income tax purposes, and are required to comply with income tax statutes and regulations similar to those applicable to commercial banks. The Banks bad debt deduction is determined under the specific charge-off method, which allows the Bank to take an income tax deduction for loans determined to be wholly or partially worthless.
In addition to the regular income tax, corporations are also subject to an alternative minimum tax. This tax is computed at 20% of the corporations regular taxable income, after taking certain adjustments into account. The alternative minimum tax applies to the extent that it exceeds the regular income tax liability.
A corporation that incurs alternative minimum tax generally is entitled to take this tax as a credit against its regular tax liability in later years to the extent that the regular tax liability in these later years exceeds the alternative minimum tax.
The Bank and its affiliates file a consolidated federal income tax return on a calendar-year basis.

State
The Bank uses Californias financial corporation income tax rate to compute its California franchise tax liability. This rate is higher than the California non-financial corporation income tax rate because the financial corporation rate reflects an amount "in lieu" of local personal property and business license taxes that are paid by non-financial corporations, but not by banks or other financial corporations. The financial corporation income tax rate was 10.84% for both 2007 and 2006.
The Bank files a California franchise tax return on a combined reporting basis. Additional income and franchise tax returns are filed in various other states.
The Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities have examined the Banks tax returns for all tax years through 2001. 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.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information contained in this annual report, the following risks may affect us. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be adversely effected.
Changes in economic conditions could adversely affect our business.
Our business is directly affected by factors such as economic, political and market conditions; broad trends in the industry and finance; legislative and regulatory changes; changes in government monetary and fiscal policies; and inflation, all of which are beyond our control. We are principally affected by economic conditions in the state of California where our business is concentrated. Deterioration in economic conditions could result in the following consequences, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects:
In view of the concentration of our operations and the collateral securing our loan portfolio in California, we may be particularly susceptible to the effects from any of these consequences, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Our business is subject to interest rate risk and variations in interest rates may negatively affect our financial performance.
A substantial portion of our income is derived from the differential or "spread" between the interest earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets, and interest paid on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Because of different basis and frequency in the repricing and maturities of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in interest rates do not produce equivalent changes in interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in interest rates also affect the value of our recorded MSRs on loans we service for others, generally increasing in value as interest rates rise and declining as interest rates fall. Accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our interest rate spread and other income and, in turn, our profitability. At December 31, 2007, our balance sheet was asset sensitive and, as a result, our net interest margin will tend to expand in a rising interest rate environment and contract in a declining interest rate environment. For additional information, see Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk on page 60. In addition, loan origination volumes and loan repayment rates are affected by market interest rates. Rising interest rates, generally, are associated with a lower volume of loan originations and declining repayment rates, while falling interest rates are usually associated with higher loan originations and increasing repayment rates. In addition, in a rising interest rate environment, we may need to accelerate the pace of rate increases on our deposit accounts as compared with the pace of increases in loan rates. Accordingly, changes in levels of market interest rates could adversely affect our net interest spread, other income, loan origination volume, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We seek to mitigate our interest rate risks through various strategies. However, there can be no assurance that these strategies (including assumptions concerning the correlation thought to exist between different types of instruments) or their implementation will be successful in any particular interest rate environment, as market volatility cannot be predicted.

The types of loans in our portfolio have a higher degree of risk, and a downturn in our real estate markets could adversely affect our business.
A downturn in our real estate markets could adversely affect our business. As of December 31, 2007, virtually all of the value of our loan portfolio consisted of loans collateralized by various types of real estate, of which 67% were subject to negative amortization. A negative amortization loan is one in which accrued interest exceeding the required monthly loan payment is added to loan principal. If a loan incurs significant negative amortization, the loan-to-value ratio could rise, which increases the Banks credit risk exposure and its susceptibility to a downturn in the real estate markets in which we lend. For further information regarding loans subject to negative amortization and their contractual terms, see Residential Real Estate Lending on page 4.
Real estate values and real estate markets are generally affected by changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of loans to potential purchasers, changes in tax laws and other governmental statutes, regulations and policies, acts of nature and civil unrest. Most of our real estate collateral is located in California. If California real estate prices continue to decline, the value of real estate collateral securing our loans will be reduced and provide less security. Our ability to recover our investment on defaulted loans by foreclosing and selling the real estate collateral would then be diminished, and we would be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans. Real estate values could also be affected by, among other things, earthquakes and natural disasters particular to California. Any such downturn could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We are exposed to credit risk with respect to underwriting guidelines related to income and asset verifications that could adversely affect our business.
Our business could be hurt by a downturn in real estate markets from a concentration of loan products offered associated with particular underwriting guidelines related to income and asset verifications. At December 31, 2007, approximately 82% of our residential one-to-four unit loans held for investment were originated based on income as stated by the borrower and asset verification, while an additional 7% were underwritten with no verification of either borrower income or assets. To the extent borrowers overstated their income and/or assets, the ability of borrowers to repay their loans may be impaired, which could adversely affect the quality of our loan portfolio, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. For further information regarding credit risk in our residential one-to-four unit investment loan portfolio, see Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities on page 45.
Recent adverse conditions in the secondary mortgage market could negatively affect our business.
As part of our secondary marketing activities, we originate residential real estate adjustable rate mortgage loans and fixed rate mortgage loans that we intend to sell. However the secondary mortgage market is currently experiencing unprecedented disruptions, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to securitize and sell mortgage loans and the gain that we may realize from sales of mortgage loans. In addition, the private secondary mortgage markets are experiencing disruptions resulting from reduced investor demand for "non-conforming" mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities and increased investor yield requirements for those loans and securities. These conditions may continue or worsen in the future.
In light of current conditions, we may retain a larger portion of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities than we would in other environments. While our capital and liquidity positions are currently adequate and we believe we have sufficient capacity to hold additional mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities until investor demand improves and yield requirements moderate, our capacity to retain mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities is not unlimited. As a result, a prolonged period of secondary market illiquidity may reduce our loan production volumes and could adversely affect our secondary marketing activities (including loan servicing income (loss), net and net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities categories) and financial condition.

Current and further deterioration in the housing market may lead to increased loss severities and further worsening of delinquencies and non-performing assets in our loan portfolios. Consequently, our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses, and we may be required to materially increase our reserves.
A significant source of risk arises from the possibility that we could sustain losses because borrowers, guarantors, and related parties may fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. The underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures that we have adopted to address this risk may not prevent unexpected losses that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. Unexpected losses may arise from a wide variety of specific or systemic factors, many of which are beyond our ability to predict, influence or control.
As with most lending institutions, we maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide for defaults and non-performance. Our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover actual credit losses, and future provisions for credit losses could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. The allowance for credit losses reflects our estimate of the probable losses in our portfolio of loans and loan-related commitments at the relevant balance sheet date. Our allowance for credit losses is based on prior experience as well as an evaluation of the known risks in the current portfolio, composition and growth of the portfolio and economic factors. The determination of an appropriate level of credit loss allowance is an inherently difficult process and is based on numerous assumptions. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, that may be beyond our control and these losses may exceed current estimates. Federal and state regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review our loans, loan-related commitments and allowance for credit losses.
In addition, we sell loans to outside investors that are subject to repurchase risk in the event of breaches of representations or warranties we make in connection with the sales. While we establish secondary marketing reserves in connection with such sales, we cannot be sure that the amount reserved is sufficient to cover all potential losses that may result from such repurchases. Significant loan or servicing sale repurchases could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Recently, the housing and the residential mortgage markets have experienced a variety of difficulties and changed economic conditions. If market conditions continue to deteriorate, they may lead to additional valuation adjustments on our loan portfolios and real estate owned as we continue to reassess the market value of our loan portfolio, the loss severities of loans in default, and the net realizable value of real estate owned. In addition, the homebuilding industry has experienced a significant and sustained decline in demand for new homes and an oversupply of new and existing homes available for sale in various markets. Our builders/borrowers face a greater difficulty in selling their homes in markets where these trends are more pronounced. We do not anticipate that the housing market will improve in the near-term, and accordingly, additional downgrades, provisions for loan losses and charge-offs relating to this portfolio may occur.
Our ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased from 0.68% at December 31, 2006 to 7.77% at December 31, 2007. During 2007, our provision for credit losses was $310.1 million, compared with $26.6 million in 2006 and $2.3 million in 2005. While we believe our allowance for credit losses is adequate to cover losses currently imbedded in our loan portfolio at year-end 2007, we cannot assure you that we will not increase the allowance for credit losses further or that our regulators will not require us to increase this allowance. Either of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We are subject to extensive government regulation. These regulations may hamper our ability to increase our assets and earnings.
Our operations and those of the Bank are subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities and are subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing requirements and restrictions on part or all of our operations. The laws, rules and regulations applicable to us are subject to regular modification and change. There are currently proposed various laws, rules and regulations that, if adopted, would impact our operations. In particular, we are assessing the final guidance given in September 2006 by federal banking agencies on alternative residential mortgage products, the additional guidance issued in June 2007 on subprime mortgage lending, and the guidance issued in September 2007 on loss mitigation strategies for services of residential mortgages. All of these issuances may hamper our ability to increase our assets and earnings. We cannot assure you that this guidance, together with various proposed laws, rules and regulations or any other laws, rules or regulations will not be adopted in the future, which could make compliance

much more difficult or expensive, restrict our ability to originate, broker or sell loans, further limit or restrict the amount of commissions, interest or other charges earned on loans originated or sold by us or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows and prospects.
We are subject to changes in accounting standards.
Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. From time to time the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") changes the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. These changes can be hard to predict and can materially affect how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, possibly resulting in a restatement of prior period financial statements. In addition, changes in accounting and reporting standards could materially disrupt our business planning efforts, as changes may occur in the profitability of certain lines of business due to accounting changes.
We are exposed to risk of environmental liabilities with respect to properties to which we take title.
In the course of our business, we may foreclose and take title to real estate, and could be subject to environmental liabilities with respect to these properties. We may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and clean-up costs incurred by these parties in connection with environmental contamination, or may be required to investigate or clean-up hazardous or toxic substances, or chemical releases at a property. The costs associated with investigation or remediation activities could be substantial. In addition, if we are the owner or former owner of a contaminated site, we may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the property. Becoming subject to significant environmental liabilities could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
If we cannot attract deposits or obtain borrowings, our growth may be inhibited.
Our ability to increase our asset base depends in large part on our ability to attract additional deposits and obtain borrowings at favorable rates. We intend to seek additional deposits by offering deposit products that are competitive with those offered by other financial institutions in our markets and by establishing personal relationships with our customers. We cannot assure you that these efforts will be successful. Although we are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties, our ability to obtain borrowings could be diminished. Our inability to attract additional deposits or obtain borrowings at competitive rates could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We are dependent on key personnel and the loss of one or more of those key personnel may adversely affect our business.
Competition for qualified employees and personnel in the banking industry is intense and there are a limited number of qualified persons with knowledge of, and expertise in, the banking industry.
The process of recruiting personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategies is often lengthy. Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract and retain qualified management, loan origination, finance, administrative, marketing and technical personnel and upon the continued contributions of our management and personnel. The loss of the services of any one of our key personnel could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
There is significant competition among employers in the financial services industry and we experience turnover of employees. Should we be subjected to unusual turnover of employees, it may have a negative effect on our business and operating results.

We face strong competition from financial services companies and other companies that offer banking services which could adversely affect our business.
We conduct most of our operations in California. Increased competition in our markets may result in reduced loans and deposits. Ultimately, we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. Many competitors offer the banking services that we offer in our geographic service areas. These competitors include a variety of financial institutions such as banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage banks, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, credit unions and other financial intermediaries. In particular, our competitors include major financial companies whose greater resources may afford them a marketplace advantage by enabling them to maintain numerous locations and mount extensive promotional and advertising campaigns. Areas of competition include interest rates offered on loans and deposits, efforts to obtain loan and deposit customers and a range in quality of products and services provided, including new technology-driven products and services. Technological innovation continues to contribute to greater competition in financial services markets as technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. We also face competition from out-of-state financial intermediaries that have opened loan production offices or that solicit deposits in our market areas. If we are unable to attract and retain customers, we may be unable to continue our loan growth and level of deposits and our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects may be adversely affected.
Negative public opinion could adversely affect our business.
Negative public opinion, inherent in business, can adversely affect our earnings and capital. Negative public opinion can result from the actual or perceived manner in which we conduct our business activities, including practices in our loan origination, loan servicing and retail banking operations; our management of conflicts of interest and ethical issues; and our protection of confidential customer information. Our ability to keep and attract customers can be affected by negative public opinion and expose us to litigation and regulatory action. If we are unable to attract and retain customers, we may be unable to maintain loan and deposit levels and our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects may be adversely affected.
Our growth and expansion may strain our ability to manage our operations and our financial resources.
Our financial performance and profitability depend on our ability to execute our corporate growth strategy. In addition to seeking deposit and loan growth in our existing markets, we intend to pursue expansion opportunities through strategically placed new branches and by acquiring branch locations that we find attractive. In addition, acquisitions of other financial institutions might be considered. Continued growth, however, may present operating and other problems that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to execute our growth strategy.
Our growth may place a strain on our administrative, operational and financial resources and increase demands on our systems and controls. We plan to pursue opportunities to expand our business primarily through internally generated growth. This business growth may require continued enhancements to and expansion of our operating and financial systems and controls and may strain or significantly challenge them. In addition, our existing operating and financial control systems and infrastructure may not be adequate to maintain and effectively monitor future growth.
Our continued growth may also increase our need for qualified personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting, integrating and retaining such personnel. The following risks, associated with our growth, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects:

Changes in the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the holding company may adversely affect our ability to pay dividends and service our debt.
Although we have been paying regular quarterly dividends to our stockholders and paying interest on our debt, our ability to do so depends to a large extent upon the dividends we receive from the Bank. Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to restrictions under various federal and state banking laws. In addition, the Bank must maintain certain capital levels, which may restrict the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us. The Banks regulators have the authority to prohibit the Bank or us from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices in conducting our business. As a consequence, the Bank regulators could deem the payment of dividends by the Bank to be an unsafe or unsound practice, depending on the Banks financial condition or otherwise, and prohibit such payments. If the Bank were unable to pay dividends to us, we might cease paying debt service and dividends to stockholders until such time that the Bank could again pay us dividends.
We are exposed to many types of operational risks.
Operational risk includes fraud by employees or outsiders as well as the risk of operational errors, including clerical or record-keeping errors or those resulting from faulty or disabled computer or telecommunications systems. Given our high volume of transactions, certain errors may be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and successfully corrected. Our dependence on automated systems to record and process transactions may further increase the risk that technical system flaws or employee tampering with, or manipulation of, those systems will result in losses that are difficult to detect. We may be subject to disruptions in our systems, arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control (including, for example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunications outages), which may give rise to losses in service to customers and to financial loss or liability. We are further exposed to the risk that our external vendors may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations (or will be subject to the same risk of fraud or operational errors by their respective employees as we are) and to the risk that our (or our vendors) business continuity and data security systems prove to be inadequate. Some of our vendors may rely on offshore services from vendors in foreign countries for certain functions and this creates the risk of incurring losses arising from unfavorable political, economic and legal developments in those countries. We also face the risk that the design of our controls and procedures may prove to be inadequate or are circumvented, thereby causing delays in detection of errors or inaccuracies in data and information.
Although we maintain a system of controls designed to keep operational risk at appropriate levels, it is possible that any lapse in the effective operations of its controls and procedures could materially affect our earnings or harm our reputation. In an organization as large and complex as Downey, lapses or deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting could be material to Downey.
Economic downturns or disasters in our principal lending markets could adversely impact our earnings
A majority of our loans are geographically concentrated in California. Any adverse economic conditions in this market could have a significant adverse impact on Downey. Also, we could be adversely affected by business disruptions triggered by natural disasters or acts of war or terrorism in these geographic areas.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The corporate offices of Downey, the Bank and DSL Service Company are owned by the Bank and located at 3501 Jamboree Road, Newport Beach, California 92660. Part of that corporate facility houses a branch office of the Bank. Certain departments (warehousing, record retention, etc.) are located in other owned and leased facilities in Orange County, California. The majority of our administrative operations, however, are located in our corporate headquarters.
At December 31, 2007, we had 168 branches throughout California and four in Arizona. We owned the building and land occupied by 63 of our branches. We also owned one branch building on leased land and two branch buildings under construction. We operate branches in 108 locations (including 90 in-store locations) with leases or licenses expiring at various dates through April 2015, with options to extend the terms.
At December 31, 2007, the net book value of our owned branches, including the one on leased land, totaled $82 million, our leased branch offices totaled $1 million and our other properties totaled $7 million. The net book value of our furniture and fixtures was $12 million at December 31, 2007. We utilize a mainframe computer system and use various internally developed and third-party vendors software for retail deposit operations, loan servicing, accounting and loan origination functions, including our operations conducted over the Internet. The net book value of our electronic data processing equipment, including personal computers and software, was $14 million at December 31, 2007.
For additional information regarding our offices and equipment, see Note 1 on page 92 and Note 8 on page 108 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On October 29, 2004, two former traditional branch employees brought an action in Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. BC323796, entitled "Margie Holman and Alice A. Mesec, et al. v. Downey Savings and Loan Association." The first amended complaint seeks unspecified damages for alleged unpaid regular and overtime wages, inadequate meal breaks, failure to pay split-shift and reporting time wages, and related claims. The plaintiffs are seeking class action status to represent all other current and former Downey Savings employees who held the position of Customer Service Supervisor and/or Customer Service Representative at Downeys in-store branches at any time from October 29, 2000 to date. Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances with retained outside counsel, (i) Downey Savings plans to oppose the claim and assert all appropriate defenses and (ii) management has provided for what is believed to be a reasonable estimate of exposure for this matter in the event of loss. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on Downeys 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, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

During 2007, we increased our quarterly cash dividends paid to $0.12 per share, or $0.48 per share annually, from our quarterly cash dividends paid in 2006 of $0.10 per share, or $0.40 per share annually. Total cash dividends were $13.4 million in 2007 and $11.1 million in 2006. On February 26, 2008, we paid a $0.12 per share quarterly cash dividend, totaling $3.3 million.
We may pay additional dividends out of funds legally available at such times as the Board of Directors determines that dividend payments are appropriate. The Board of Directors policy is to consider the declaration of dividends on a quarterly basis.
The payment of dividends by the Bank to Downey is subject to OTS regulations. For further information regarding these regulations, see Capital Distribution Limitations on page 17.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain matters discussed in this Annual Report may constitute "forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which Downey Financial Corp. ("Downey," "we," "us" and "our") operates, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market and statements regarding our mission and vision. 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, the outcome of ongoing audits by regulatory and taxing authorities and government regulation and factors, identified under Item 1A. Risk Factors on page 22. 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, except as required by law.
In 2007, we incurred a net loss of $56.6 million or $2.03 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $199.7 million or $7.16 per share in 2006.
The $439.8 million unfavorable change in pre-tax income/(loss) between years was due primarily to:
For 2007, our return on average assets was a negative 0.38% and our return on average equity was a negative 3.92%. These compare to our 2006 returns of 1.16% on average assets and 15.45% on average equity.
At December 31, 2007, assets totaled $13.409 billion, down $2.798 billion or 17.3% from a year ago. The decline was primarily in loans held for investment as payoffs outpaced originations, partially offset by an increase in securities available for sale. Included within loans held for investment at year end were $7.531 billion of residential one-to-four unit adjustable rate mortgages subject to negative amortization. These loans comprised 69% of the single family residential loan portfolio held for investment at year end, compared to 85% a year ago. The amount of negative amortization included in loan balances increased $58 million during 2007 to $379 million or 5.03% of loans subject to negative amortization. At origination, these loans had a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 73%. During the year, approximately 28% of loan interest income represented negative amortization, compared to 27% in the previous year and 16% in 2005.
Loan originations (including purchases) totaled $3.782 billion in 2007, down $4.047 billion or 51.7% from $7.829 billion originated in 2006. Loans originated for sale declined $1.903 billion or 54.8% to $1.572 billion, while single family loans originated for portfolio declined $2.040 billion or 48.9% to $2.129 billion. In addition to single family loans, $81 million of other loans were originated during 2007, down from $185 million a year ago.

Not included in the above originations are loans in which we modify the terms of the note for borrowers. During 2007, we modified $420 million of loans associated with our borrower retention program, wherein borrowers were current with their loan payments and the new interest rates were no less than those offered new borrowers, and $12 million of loans at below market interest rates in loan workout situations. Most of the modifications related to adjustable rate loans subject to negative amortization that were modified into adjustable rate loans where the interest rate is fixed for the first three to five years or adjustable rate loans with interest rates that adjust annually. Both of these products do not permit negative amortization.
Deposits totaled $10.496 billion at year end, down $1.289 billion or 10.9% from a year ago. Although deposits declined during the year, the number of checking accounts increased 5.7%. At year end, the number of branches totaled 172 (168 in California and four in Arizona). At year end, the average deposit size of our 82 traditional branches was $102 million, while the average deposit size of our 90 in-store branches was $24 million. During the year, borrowings declined by $1.413 billion and at year end represented 10.4% of total assets.
Non-performing assets increased during the year by $931 million to $1.042 billion and represented 7.77% of total assets, compared with 0.68% at year-end 2006. Of the increase, $401 million or about 43% represented loans modified as part of our borrower retention program that are current on their loan payments at December 31, 2007. This program was initiated at the beginning of the third quarter of 2007 to provide borrowers who are current with their loan payments a cost effective means to change from an adjustable rate loan subject to negative amortization to a less costly financing alternative. These loans are considered troubled debt restructurings because the modified interest rates were lower than the interest rates on the original loans and the loans were not re-underwritten to prove the new interest rates were, in fact, market interest rates for borrowers with similar credit quality. Even though the interest rates following modification were no less than those offered new borrowers, these loans have been placed on non-accrual status. Interest income will be recorded as these borrowers make their loan payments on a cash basis. If these borrowers perform pursuant to the modified terms for six consecutive months, the loans will be placed back on accrual status and, while still reported as troubled debt restructurings, they will no longer be classified as non-performing assets because the borrowers will have demonstrated an ability to perform in accordance with the loan modification and the interest rates are no less than those offered new borrowers at the time of modification.
To the extent borrowers whose loans were modified pursuant to our borrower retention program are current with their loan payments, it is relevant to distinguish them from total non-performing assets because, unlike other loans classified as non-performing assets, these loans are paying interest at interest rates no less than those offered new borrowers. At year-end 2007, approximately 95% of such borrowers had made all loan payments due. Accordingly, when these performing modified loans are excluded from the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets, the adjusted ratio drops to 4.78%, compared to the actual ratio of 7.77%.
At December 31, 2007, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements, with capital-to-asset ratios of 10.18% for both tangible and core capital and 19.01% 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. For further information, see Insurance of Deposit Accounts on page 13, Investments in Real Estate and Joint Ventures on page 55 and Regulatory Capital Compliance on page 80.

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 Note 1 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 92. 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 for the reporting periods. 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 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 $423.8 million in 2007, down $94.8 million or 18.3% from 2006 and $12.5 million or 2.9% from 2005. The decline during 2007 reflected a lower level of interest-earning assets, which declined by $2.5 billion or 14.8% to $14.3 billion, and a lower effective interest rate spread, which averaged 2.96% in 2007, down 0.13% from 2006 but up 0.27% from 2005. Compared to a year ago, the effective interest rate spread was unfavorably impacted by a lower proportion of loan prepayment fees to the amount of deferred loan origination costs written-off as a result of those payoffs, which declined to 69% in the current year from 99% a year ago. This decline was primarily the result of a higher proportion of loans being repaid that were no longer subject to prepayment fees primarily due to the increasing age of the loan portfolio. In addition, the current year effective interest rate spread was unfavorably impacted by a higher proportion of non-performing assets and a higher proportion of interest-earning assets comprised of investment securities and adjustable rate mortgage loans where the interest rate is fixed for the first three to five years, both of which have lower yields than those of adjustable rate loans subject to negative amortization that comprised a larger proportion of interest-earning assets a year ago.
The following table presents for the years 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 balancethe difference between the average balance of interest-earning assets and the average balance of total deposits and borrowingsfor the years 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 year using the average of each months daily average balance during the years indicated.

During 2007, provision for credit losses totaled $310.1 million, compared with $26.6 million in 2006 and $2.3 million in 2005. The increase to the allowance this year primarily reflected further increases in delinquent loans and declines in the value of underlying home collateral due to the continued weakening and uncertainty relative to the housing market. This has been particularly true in certain geographic areas such as the greater Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto and Monterey areas of Northern California, the Inland Empire and San Diego County. As a result, an increase in the allowance for credit losses was deemed appropriate. Also, of the current year provision for credit losses, $39.5 million is related to the creation of a specific allowance associated with certain troubled debt restructurings resulting from our borrower retention program which is discussed more fully in the section entitled Non-Performing Assets and Troubled Debt Restructurings on page 67. The increase in the prior year provision for credit losses reflected an increase in unsold housing inventory, a decline in home prices, and increases in both negative amortization balances and loan defaults. These trends are typically leading indicators of increased losses.
For further information, see Allowance for Credit Real Estate Losses on page 72.

Our total other income was $46.5 million in 2007, down $46.7 million or 50.1% from $93.1 million in 2006 and down $123.5 million from 2005. The decline from 2006 primarily reflected:
Total other income declined $76.8 million during 2006 due primarily to a $76.3 million decrease in net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities due to a lower volume of loans sold and, to a lesser extent, a lower gain per dollar of loan sold; and a $2.7 million unfavorable change in loan servicing activities due primarily to increases in payoff curtailment interest losses and a unfavorable change in MSR valuations. Those favorable items were partially offset by a $4.2 million increase in income from real estate and joint ventures held for investment due primarily to higher gains from sales.
Below is a further discussion of the major other income categories.
Loan and Deposit Related Fees
Loan and deposit related fees totaled $36.1 million in 2007, down $0.1 million from 2006 and $0.4 million from 2005. During 2007, our loan related fees declined $1.2 million or 30.7% due to lower loan originations, while our deposit related fees increased $1.1 million or 3.4%, due primarily to higher fees from our checking accounts.

Real Estate and Joint Ventures Held for Investment
We recorded a loss in our real estate and joint ventures held for investment of $6.9 million in 2007, compared to income of $11.0 million in 2006 and $6.7 million in 2005. The current year unfavorable change was primarily attributed to writedowns of $8.8 million to reflect declines in the value of single family home lots in which the company is a joint venture partner and lower net gains from sales of $8.9 million (declines of $3.0 million in gains from sales of wholly owned real estate and $5.9 million in gains related to joint venture projects). The writedowns and lower gains related to joint ventures is reported within equity (deficit) in net income (loss) from joint ventures.

Secondary Marketing Activities
A loss of $3.2 million was recorded from our loan servicing activities in 2007, compared with a loss of $0.6 million in 2006 and income of $2.1 million in 2005. The primary reason for the $2.6 million unfavorable change from 2006 was a $2.4 million provision for impairment of MSRs, compared to $0.1 million in 2006. Also, the current year payoff and curtailment interest cost category increased $1.3 million from 2006. These unfavorable changes were partially offset by higher cash servicing fees of $0.7 million. At December 31, 2007, loans we serviced with capitalized MSRs totaled $2.4 billion, virtually unchanged from both December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. In addition to the loans we serviced for others with capitalized MSRs, we serviced $3.1 billion of loans at December 31, 2007 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 from the owner of the MSRs.

Sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities we originated declined in 2007 to $1.8 billion, from $3.5 billion in 2006 and $8.3 billion in 2005. Of those sold in 2007, $769 million were nontraditional residential one-to-four unit loans. Net gains associated with sales in 2007 totaled $20.3 million, down from $43.6 million in 2006 and $120.0 million in 2005. Included in these gains was the SFAS 133 impact of valuing derivatives associated with the sale of loans, for which we recorded a gain of $0.1 million in 2007, compared with a loss of $1.1 million in 2006 and a gain of $3.6 million in 2005. Excluding the SFAS 133 impact, a gain of $20.2 million or 1.12% of loans sold was realized in 2007, down from both 1.27% in 2006 and 1.40% in 2005. Net gains included capitalized MSRs of $5.6 million in 2007, compared with $5.3 million in 2006 and $6.4 million in 2005.

Securities Available for Sale
We had no sales of investment securities in 2007 or 2006, compared with gains from sales of less than $1 million in 2005. These securities were classified as available for sale. No securities were held as a partial economic hedge during or at year-end 2007.

Our operating expense totaled $258.0 million in 2007, an increase of 6.1% from $243.2 million in 2006 and an increase of 10.5% from $233.6 million in 2005. The current year increase was due primarily to higher costs from our operations of real estate acquired in settlement of loans, which increased $9.2 million to $9.5 million. Our increase in costs of operations of real estate acquired in settlement of loans was due to a higher number of foreclosed properties, as the inventory of single family homes available for sale totaled 326 at year end, up from 33 a year ago, and we had one property comprising 113 single family lots. Our general and administrative expense increased $5.6 million or 2.3%. The increase was primarily in deposit insurance premiums, up $3.7 million, premises and equipment cost, up $3.0 million, and professional fees, up $0.9 million. Those increases were partially offset by lower salaries and related costs of $2.2 million. In 2007, the FDIC changed the deposit insurance premium rates and issued a one-time assessment credit of $5.8 million to recognize our past contributions to the deposit insurance fund. Excluding that credit, our deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments would have increased by $9.6 million from a year ago.

Our effective tax rate was 42.1% for 2007, compared with 41.6% for 2006 and 42.1% for 2005. The effective tax rate in each year is affected by various items, including interest expense related to payments of prior year taxes, reductions to federal tax expense due to the settlement of prior year tax return issues and adjustments to income tax reserves related to managements favorable assessment of our income tax exposure. The net impact of these items was $0.2 million of expense in 2007 and expense reductions of $1.5 million in 2006 and $0.2 million in 2005. See Note 1 on page 92 and Note 16 on page 114 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of income taxes and an explanation of the factors which impact our effective tax rate.
The previous discussion and analysis of the Results of Operations pertained to our consolidated results. This section discusses and analyzes the results of operations of our two business segments: banking and real estate investment. For a description of these business segments and the relevant accounting policies, see Item 1. Business on page 1 and Note 1 on page 92 and Note 22 on page 127 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Banking
Our banking operations had a net loss of $53.1 million in 2007, compared to net income of $191.3 million in 2006 and $210.9 million in 2005. The $419.7 million unfavorable change in 2007 of pre-tax income/(loss) primarily reflected the following:
During 2006, net income from our banking operations decreased $19.6 million. Contributing to the decline was a $76.3 million decrease in net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities due to a lower volume of loans sold and, to a lesser extent, a lower gain per dollar of loan sold; a $24.3 million increase in provision for credit losses; and a $12.3 million or 5.3% increase in operating expense. Those unfavorable items were partially offset by a $81.6 million or 18.7% increase in net interest income, primarily due to a higher effective interest rate spread.

Real Estate Investment
Our real estate investment operations had a loss of $3.5 million in 2007, compared to income of $8.3 million in 2006 and $3.6 million in 2005. The unfavorable pretax change of $20.1 million during 2007 was due primarily to impairment writedowns of $8.8 million to reflect declines in the value of single family home lots in which the company is a joint venture partner and declines in net gains from sales of $8.9 million.
The increase during 2006 was primarily due to a $7.6 million increase from gains on sales and a $1.2 million reversal of a litigation reserve established in prior periods due to the successful outcome of a legal matter.

Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities
Total loans and mortgage-backed securities, including those we hold for sale, declined $3.0 billion or 21.4% from year-end 2006 to a total of $11.1 billion or 83.1% of total assets at December 31, 2007. The decline occurred primarily in loans held for investment, which were down $2.8 billion as repayments exceeded portfolio originations.
Our loan originations, including loans purchased, totaled $3.8 billion in 2007, down from $7.8 billion in 2006 and $15.1 billion in 2005. During 2007, originations of one-to-four unit residential loans declined by $3.9 billion to $3.7 billion. Of the total one-to-four unit residential loans originated, $2.1 billion or 58% were for portfolio, with the balance for sale in the secondary market. Our prepayment speed, which measures the annualized percentage of loans repaid, for one-to-four unit residential loans held for investment was 37% during 2007, compared with 39% in 2006 and 38% in 2005. Refinancing activities related to residential one-to-four unit loans, including new loans to refinance existing loans which we or other lenders originated, constituted 85% of originations during 2007, down from 87% during 2006 but up from 80% during 2005. Loan originations other than one-to-four unit residential declined $104 million to $81 million in 2007, primarily due to a lower level of originations of residential five or more units and land development loans.
Not included in the above originations are loans in which we modified the terms of the note for borrowers. During 2007, we modified $420 million of loans associated with our borrower retention program. This program provided borrowers who were current with their loan payments to change from an adjustable rate loan subject to negative amortization to less costly financing alternatives, albeit at new interest rates that were no less than those offered new borrowers. Most of these modifications involved adjustable rate loans subject to negative amortization that were modified into either adjustable rate loans whereby the interest rate is fixed for the first three to five years or adjustable rate loans whereby the interest rate adjusts annually. Neither of these products permit negative amortization. An additional $12 million of loans were modified at below market interest rates in loan workout situations.
We originate one-to-four unit residential mortgage loans both with and without loan origination fees. In mortgage transactions for which we charge no origination fees, we receive a higher interest rate than those for which we charge fees. In addition, a prepayment fee on loans with no origination fees is generally required if prepaid within the first three years. These loans generally result in deferrable loan origination costs exceeding loan origination fees.
Originations of adjustable rate residential one-to-four unit loans for portfolio, including loans purchased, totaled $2.1 billion in 2007, down from $4.2 billion in 2006 and $7.1 billion in 2005. Of the 2007 total:

At December 31, 2007, $7.5 billion or 69% of our total residential one-to-four unit loans held for investment were subject to negative amortization, of which $379 million or 5.03% represented the amount of negative amortization included in the loan balance. The amount of negative amortization included in the loan balance increased $58 million during 2007, as borrowers took advantage of the flexibility of this product. During 2007, approximately 28% of our loan interest income represented negative amortization, compared to 27% in 2006 and 16% in 2005. At origination, these loans had a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 73%. In addition, $2.7 billion or 25% of our residential one-to-four unit loans held for investment represented loans requiring interest only payments over the initial terms of the loans, generally the first three to five years.

Our adjustable rate loans subject to negative amortization require a payment recast every five years and additionally when the loan balance reaches the maximum permissible level of negative amortization, while interest only loans require a payment recast when the initial fixed rate or interest only period expires. At payment recast, the fully-indexed interest rate is used to calculate a new monthly loan payment that provides for full amortization of the loan balance over the remaining term of the loan. Generally, the new loan payment is significantly higher and therefore default risk typically increases. We have other adjustable rate loans that also are subject to payment recasts but the new loan payments are not likely to be as severe as those associated with loans subject to negative amortization or interest only payments because the original loan payments already include principal amortization.

The following table sets forth projected first-time loan payment recasts for our residential one-to-four unit adjustable rate loans subject to negative amortization and interest only payments for the four quarters of 2008 and the annual periods of 2008, 2009 and 2010, but excludes payment recasts projected beyond 2010. To determine projected first-time loan payment recasts, we assumed that borrowers will continue to utilize negative amortization at the same rate as they did in the preceding 12 months and no loans prepay. Therefore, the projected recast amounts may be overstated as some portion of these loans is likely to prepay or be modified as part of our borrower retention or loan workout programs. For example, at the end of 2006, we forecasted that $1.4 billion of loans subject to negative amortization would recast for the first-time in 2007, of which $527 million did recast while:

In addition to the other credit risks already identified, 82% of our residential one-to-four unit loans held for investment at year-end 2007 were underwritten based on borrower stated income and asset verification and an additional 7% were underwritten with no verification of either borrower income or assets.
Credit risks are mitigated primarily by various minimum borrower credit requirements and maximum loan-to-value ratio limitations. For example, at December 31, 2007, the average loan-to-value ratio at origination of our residential one-to-four unit loan portfolio was 72%. However, even with these requirements and limitations, our risk mitigation strategy is limited by potential defects in the underwriting process as well as potential changes in the loan-to-value ratio due to negative amortization and declines in home values after the loans were originated. For example, while residential property values increased in the past thereby further reducing our exposure to credit risk, home value declines emerged in 2006 and are continuing in most markets in which we lend. The uncertainty of future home value changes may materially impact the risk associated with our loan portfolio since 44% of these loans were originated in the last two years. For further information, see Residential Real Estate Lending on page 4, and Risk Factors on page 22.
We originated $11 million of home equity loans and lines of credit in 2007, down from $27 million in 2006 and $159 million in 2005. We originated $1 million of loans secured by multi-family properties in 2007, compared with $70 million in 2006 and none in 2005. During 2007, we originated $55 million of construction loans, compared to $34 million in 2006 and $97 million in 2005. Our origination of land development loans totaled $6 million in 2007, down from $49 million in 2006 and $46 million in 2005. Origination of commercial non-mortgage loans totaled $1 million in 2007, with none in 2006. Origination of consumer loans totaled $5 million in 2007, unchanged from 2006 and up from $3 million in 2005.
At December 31, 2007, our unfunded loan application pipeline totaled $741 million. Within that pipeline, we had commitments to borrowers for short-term interest rate locks, before the reduction of expected fallout, of $278 million, of which $82 million were related to residential one-to-four unit loans being originated for sale in the secondary market. Furthermore, we had commitments for undrawn lines of credit of $248 million and loans in process of $59 million. We believe our current sources of funds will be adequate relative to these obligations.

At December 31, 2007, the maximum amount the Bank could have loaned to any one borrower, and related entities, per regulatory limits was $229 million or $381 million for loans secured by readily marketable collateral, compared with $234 million or $390 million for loans secured by readily marketable collateral at year-end 2006. We do not expect these regulatory limitations will adversely impact our proposed lending activities during 2008.

The fair value of temporarily impaired investment securities, the amount of unrealized losses and the length of time these unrealized losses existed as of December 31, 2007 are presented in the following table. The unrealized losses on investment securities that have been in a loss position for less than 12 months and 12 months or longer are due to changes in market interest rates and are not considered to be other than temporary. We have the intent and ability to hold these securities until the temporary impairment is eliminated.

Investments in Real Estate and Joint Ventures
DSL Service Company participates as an owner of, or a partner in, a variety of real estate development projects, principally residential developments and retail neighborhood shopping centers, most of which are located in California. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had no loan commitments to the joint ventures. For additional information regarding these real estate investments, see Note 6 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 105.
DSL Service Company is entitled to a priority return on its equity invested in its joint venture projects after third-party debt, and it shares profits and losses with the developer partner generally on an equal basis. DSL Service Company has obtained guarantees from the principals of the developer partners. Partnership equity or deficit accounts are affected by current period results of operations, additional partner advances, partnership distributions and partnership liquidations. We have analyzed our variable interests in these joint venture projects and we have determined based on the dispersal of risks among the parties involved that we are not the primary beneficiary of any of these variable interest entities. Therefore, the joint venture projects are not consolidated into our financial results, but rather are accounted for under the equity method.
As of December 31, 2007, DSL Service Company was involved with one joint venture partner. This partner was the operator of three residential housing development projects. DSL Service Company also had three wholly owned retail neighborhood shopping centers located in California and Arizona.

Our investment in real estate and joint ventures amounted to $69 million at December 31, 2007, compared with $60 million at December 31, 2006 and $49 million at December 31, 2005. The increase during 2007 was primarily attributed to additional investments of $10 million primarily in existing wholly owned projects, $3 million in investments of community development funds and $3 million for the purchase of land. These increases were partially offset by our share of net losses on joint ventures of $7 million. The increase during 2006 was primarily attributed to the purchase of an investment with a carrying value of $11 million, additional increases of $4 million in investments of community development funds and $2 million primarily in existing wholly owned projects. This was offset by the partial sale of a project with a carrying value of $6 million.
The following table sets forth the condensed balance sheet of DSL Service Companys residential joint ventures at the dates indicated, on a historical cost basis.

Real estate investments entail risks similar to those associated with our construction and commercial lending activities. In addition, California courts have imposed warranty-like responsibility on developers of new housing for defects in structure and the housing site, including soil conditions. This responsibility is not necessarily dependent upon a finding that the developer was negligent. Owners of real property also may incur liabilities with respect to environmental matters, including financial responsibility for clean-up of hazardous waste or other conditions, under various federal and state laws.
Our deposits declined $1.3 billion or 10.9% in 2007 and totaled $10.5 billion at year end. Compared with the year-ago period, our certificates of deposit declined $890 million or 9.8%, while our lower-rate transaction accounts (i.e., checking, money market and regular passbook) declined $399 million or 14.9%, due primarily to a decline of $233 million in regular passbook accounts. Although deposits declined during the year, the number of checking accounts increased 5.7%.
During 2007, one in-store branch was closed due to the closure or sale of the grocery stores in which it was located and one traditional branch was opened. At December 31, 2007, our total number of branches was 172, of which 168 were in California and four were in Arizona. The average deposit size of our 82 traditional branches was $102 million, while the average deposit size of our 90 in-store branches was $24 million.

At December 31, 2007, borrowings totaled $1.4 billion, down from $2.8 billion at year-end 2006 and $3.8 billion at year-end 2005. The decrease during 2007 was due primarily to a decline of $944 million in FHLB advances and $470 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. During 2004, the holding company issued $200 million of 6.5% 10-year unsecured senior notes. The net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and our offering expenses, were approximately $198 million. Those proceeds were used to redeem our $124 million of 10% junior subordinated debentures prior to their maturity and, in turn, to redeem the related capital securities and make a capital investment in the Bank to support its asset growth. We redeemed our junior subordinated debentures because of the lower interest rate at which we were able to issue the senior debt, which has resulted in lower interest expense.

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). For further information regarding our real estate joint venture partnerships, see Note 6 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 105.
We also utilize financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans held for investment, undisbursed loan funds, lines and letters of credit, and commitments to purchase loans, 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 regarding these commitments, see Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk on page 60, Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments on page 79 and Note 20 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 120.
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 are made in the ordinary course of business and are made on substantially the same terms as comparable transactions.
Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss or reduced earnings 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 and frequency 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 in managing interest rate risk is to emphasize the origination for investment of adjustable rate mortgage loans or loans with relatively short maturities. Interest rates on adjustable rate mortgage loans 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.
Page 60 |

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 mortgage loans, 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 the use of loan forward sale and purchase contracts with 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. Over time, we may use derivatives or securities to provide an economic hedge against value changes in our MSRs. However, no such hedges have been employed since 2004 when we sold approximately 80% of our MSRs.
Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for implementing the Banks interest rate risk management policy which sets forth limits established by the Board of Directors of acceptable changes in net interest income and net portfolio value from specified changes in interest rates. The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") defines net portfolio value as the present value of expected net cash flows from existing assets minus the present value of expected net cash flows from existing liabilities plus the present value of expected cash flows from existing off-balance sheet contracts. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee reviews, among other items, economic conditions, the interest rate outlook, the demand for loans, the availability of deposits and borrowings, and our current operating results, liquidity, capital and interest rate exposure. In addition, our Asset/Liability Management Committee monitors asset and liability maturities and repricing characteristics on a regular basis and reviews various simulations and other analyses to determine the potential impact of various business strategies in controlling the Banks interest rate risk and the potential impact of those strategies upon future earnings under various interest rate scenarios. Based on these reviews, our Asset/Liability Management Committee formulates a strategy that is intended to implement the objectives set forth in our business plan without exceeding the net interest income and net portfolio value limits set forth in our interest rate risk policy.

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 December 31, 2007, as well as other information regarding the repricing and maturity differences between our interest-earning assets and the total of 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" (i.e., 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 to anticipate future prepayments. Since the 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, these assets may not respond to changes in market interest rates as completely or as 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 cumulative gap at December 31, 2007 was a positive 6.50%. This means more interest-earning assets mature or reprice compared with deposits and borrowings. This is down from a positive cumulative gap of 7.18% at December 31, 2006 and up from a positive cumulative gap of 5.82% at December 31, 2005.
We continue to emphasize the origination of adjustable rate mortgages for our investment portfolio. We originated and purchased for investment loans and mortgage-backed securities with adjustable interest rates or maturities of five years or less of approximately $2.2 billion during 2007, $4.4 billion during 2006 and $7.4 billion during 2005. These loans represented essentially all loans and mortgage-backed securities originated and purchased for investment during 2007, 2006 and 2005.
At December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, essentially all of our interest-earning assets mature, reprice or are estimated to prepay within five years. 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. At December 31, 2007, these loans amounted to $11.2 billion, compared with $13.6 billion at December 31, 2006, and $15.1 billion at December 31, 2005. During 2007, we will continue to offer residential fixed rate loan products to our customers primarily for sale in the secondary market and price them accordingly to create loan servicing income and to increase opportunities for originating adjustable rate mortgage loans. However, we may originate fixed rate loans for investment if these loans meet specific yield, interest rate risk and other approved guidelines, or to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure. For further information, see Secondary Marketing and Loan Servicing Activities on page 6.
In general, we are better protected against rising interest rates with a positive cumulative gap. However, we remain subject to possible interest rate spread compression, which would adversely impact our net interest income if interest rates rise. This is primarily due to the lag in repricing of the indices, to which our adjustable rate loans and mortgage-backed securities are tied, as well as the repricing frequencies and periodic interest rate caps on these adjustable rate loans and mortgage-backed securities. The amount of such interest rate spread compression would depend upon the frequency and severity of such interest rate fluctuations.
In addition to measuring interest rate risk via a gap analysis, we establish limits on, and measure the sensitivity of, our net interest income and net portfolio value to changes in interest rates, primarily parallel, instantaneous and sustained movements in interest rates in 100 basis point increments. We utilize an internally maintained asset/liability management simulation model to make the calculations which, for net portfolio value, are calculated on a discounted cash flow basis. First, we estimate our net interest income for the next twelve months and the current net portfolio value assuming no change in interest rates from those at period end. Once this "base-case" has been estimated, we make calculations for each of the defined changes in interest rates, to include any anticipated differences in the prepayment speeds of loans. We then compare those results against the base case to determine the estimated change to net interest income and net portfolio value due to the changes in interest rates. The following are the estimated impacts to net interest income and net portfolio value from various instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rates based upon our asset and liability structure as of year-ends 2007 and 2006. Since we base these estimates on numerous assumptions, like the expected maturities of our interest-bearing assets and liabilities and the shape of the period-ending interest rate yield curve, our actual sensitivity to interest rate changes could vary significantly if actual experience differs from those assumptions used in making the calculations.

The following table shows our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, categorized by expected maturity, and the instruments fair values at December 31, 2007. This data differs from that in the gap table as it is not based on the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. Rather, it reflects expected maturities for certificates of deposits and assets, other than loans originated for sale, based on contractual maturities, call provisions (if any) for investment securities, and prepayments of principal for loans based primarily on our recent experience. The average projected constant prepayment rate ("CPR") is 18% on our residential mortgage loan portfolios, excluding the impact of loans modified pursuant to our borrower retention program. The expected maturities for loans originated for sale are based on their underlying sales contracts and prior sales experience, resulting in maturities of less than one year. For transaction accounts, we have applied "decay factors" to estimate deposit account runoff based on our historical experience adjusted for current market conditions. These decay factors average 26% per year for all transaction accounts on an aggregate basis. The actual maturities of the above noted instruments could vary substantially if future prepayments or deposit runoff differ from our assumptions.
Market risk sensitive instruments are generally defined as on-and off-balance sheet derivatives and other financial instruments. The weighted average interest rates for the various fixed-rate and variable-rate assets and liabilities presented are based on the actual rates that existed at December 31, 2007. The fair value of our financial instruments is determined as follows:
The degree of market risk inherent in loans with prepayment features may not be completely reflected in the disclosures. Although we have taken into consideration historical prepayment trends adjusted for current market conditions to determine expected maturity categories, changes in prepayment behavior can be triggered by changes in variables, including market rates of interest. Unexpected changes in these variables may increase or decrease the rate of prepayments from those anticipated. As such, the potential loss from such market rate changes may be significantly larger.

The period-end weighted average rate on our loans and mortgage-backed securities declined to 7.41% at December 31, 2007, down from 7.59% at December 31, 2006. The weighted average rate on new loans originated during 2007 was 5.44%, compared with 3.60% during 2006 and 1.91% during 2005. The higher rate in 2007 primarily reflects a higher volume of adjustable rate loans with interest rates fixed for the first three to five years. At December 31, 2007, our adjustable rate mortgage portfolio of single family residential loans, including mortgage-backed securities, totaled $10.8 billion and had a weighted average rate of 7.29%, compared with $13.5 billion that had a weighted average rate of 7.56% at December 31, 2006 and $15.2 billion that had a weighted average rate of 6.05% at December 31, 2005.

Non-Performing Assets and Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs")
Non-performing assets consist of loans on which we have ceased accruing interest (which we refer to as non-accrual loans), loans restructured at an interest rate below market and real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Our non-performing assets totaled $1.042 billion at December 31, 2007, up from $110 million at December 31, 2006 and $35 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in 2007 reflected the following:
Our non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was 7.77% at year-end 2007, up from 0.68% at year-end 2006 and 0.21% at year-end 2005. To the extent borrowers whose loans were modified pursuant to the borrower retention program are current with their loan payments, it is relevant to distinguish those from total non-performing assets because, unlike other loans classified as non-performing assets, these loans are paying interest at interest rates no less than those offered new borrowers. At year-end 2007, approximately 95% of such borrowers had made all loan payments due. Accordingly, when these performing modified loans are excluded from the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets, the adjusted ratio drops to 4.78%, compared to the actual ratio of 7.77%.

It is our policy to take appropriate, timely and aggressive action when necessary to resolve non-performing assets. When resolving problem loans, it is our policy to determine collectibility under various circumstances which are intended to result in our maximum financial benefit. We accomplish this either by working with the borrower to bring the loan current or by foreclosing and selling the asset. We perform ongoing reviews of loans that display weaknesses and maintain adequate loss allowances for them. For a discussion on our internal asset review policy, refer to Allowance for Credit and Real Estate Losses on page 72.

We evaluate the need for appraisals of non-performing assets on a periodic basis. We will generally obtain a new appraisal when we believe there may have been an adverse change in the property operations or in the economic conditions of the geographic market of the property securing our loans. Our policy is to obtain new appraisals at least annually for all real estate acquired in settlement of loans.
Non-Accrual Loans Excluding Troubled Debt Restructurings
It is our general policy to account for a loan as non-accrual when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent or when collection of interest appears doubtful. In a number of cases, loans may remain on accrual status past 90 days when we determine that continued accrual is warranted because the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. As of December 31, 2007, we had no loans 90 days or more delinquent which remained on accrual status. We reverse and charge against interest income any interest previously accrued with respect to non-accrual loans. We recognize interest income on non-accrual loans to the extent that we receive payments and to the extent that we believe we will recover the remaining principal balance of the loan. We restore these loans to an accrual status only if all past due payments are made by the borrower and the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make future payments of principal and interest. At December 31, 2007, non-accrual loans excluding troubled debt restructurings aggregating $135 million were less than 90 days delinquent relative to their contractual terms.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
We consider the restructuring of a debt to be a TDR when we, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrowers financial difficulties, grant a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise grant. Troubled debt restructurings may include changing repayment terms, reducing the stated interest rate or reducing the amounts of principal and/or interest due or extending the maturity date. The restructuring of a loan is intended to recover as much of our investment as possible and to achieve the highest yield possible. At December 31, 2007, we had $432 million of TDRs of which $420 million related to the borrower retention program and $12 million related to other residential one-to four unit loans.
Page 69 |
Navigation Links |
At the beginning of the third quarter of 2007, a borrower retention program for residential one-to-four unit loans was implemented to provide qualified borrowers with a cost effective means to change from an adjustable rate loan subject to negative amortization to a less costly financing alternative. We contacted borrowers whose loans were current and we offered them the opportunity to modify their loans into adjustable rate loans whereby the interest rate is fixed for the first three to five years or adjustable rate loans with interest rates that adjust annually but do not permit negative amortization. The interest rates associated with these modifications were the same or no less than those rates offered new borrowers but they were below the interest rates on the original loans. These loans are considered TDRs because the modified interest rates were lower than the interest rates on the original loans and the loans were not re-underwritten to prove the new interest rates were, in fact, market interest rates for borrowers with similar credit quality. Since these TDRs have been placed on non-accrual status, interest income will be recognized when paid by borrowers on a cash basis. If borrowers perform pursuant to the terms of their modified loans for six consecutive months, the loans will be placed back on accrual status and, while still reported as TDRs, they will no longer be classified as non-performing assets because the borrowers will have demonstrated an ability to perform and the interest rates are no less than those offered new borrowers at the time of the modifications.
Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
Real estate acquired in settlement of loans consists of real estate acquired through foreclosure or deeds in lieu of foreclosure and totaled $116 million at December 31, 2007. Of this amount, $109 million represented residential one-to-four unit properties and $7 million represented one land loan. We generally require private mortgage insurance on loans in excess of 80% of their appraised value. In 2007, subsequent to our acquiring real estate in the settlement of loans, we collected $3.2 million in private mortgage insurance to mitigate any losses incurred.

Delinquent Loans
When a borrower fails to make required payments on a loan and does not cure the delinquency within 60 days, we normally record a notice of default to commence foreclosure proceedings, so long as we have given the required prior notice to the borrower. If the loan is not reinstated within the time permitted by law, which is normally five business days prior to the date set for the non-judicial trustees sale, we may then sell the property at a foreclosure sale. In general, if we have elected to pursue a non-judicial foreclosure, we are not permitted under applicable law to obtain a deficiency judgment against the borrower, even if the security property is insufficient to cover the balance owed. At these foreclosure sales, we generally acquire title to the property.
At December 31, 2007, loans delinquent 30 days or more as a percentage of total loans was 6.05%, up from 1.03% at year-end 2006 and 0.36% at year-end 2005. The increase from the prior year occurred primarily in our residential one-to-four units classification which, as a percentage of its loan category, increased from 1.06% at year-end 2006 to 5.96% at year-end 2007. A higher incidence of delinquency is expected when the minimum payments reset on our adjustable rate loans subject to negative amortization or interest only payments, whereby the interest rate is fixed for the first three to five years. For example, at year-end 2007, we had $607 million in loans subject to negative amortization or with interest only payments that had recast during the year, of which 26.1% were delinquent 30 or more days at December 31, 2007. This expected increase in delinquency is contemplated when we analyze the adequacy of our credit loss allowance. For further information, see Provision for Credit Losses on page 39 and Allowance for Credit and Real Estate Losses on page 72.

Allowance for Credit and Real Estate Losses
We maintain a valuation allowance for credit and real estate losses to provide for losses inherent in those portfolios at the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses includes an allowance for loan losses reported as a reduction of loans held for investment and the allowance for loan-related commitments reported in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. 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.
Our Internal Asset Review Department conducts independent reviews to evaluate the risk and quality of all our loan and real estate investment assets. Our Internal Asset Review Committee is responsible for the review and classification of assets. The Internal Asset Review Committee members include the Credit Risk Manager, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Director of Residential Lending, General Counsel, Director of Asset Management, Chief Appraiser, and Director of Operational and Compliance Risk. The Internal Asset Review Committee meets quarterly to review and determine asset classifications and recommend any changes to asset valuation allowances. With the exception of payoffs or asset sales, the classification of an asset, once established, can be removed or upgraded only upon approval of the Internal Asset Review Committee or the Credit Risk Manager as delegated by the Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors quarterly reviews the overall asset quality, the adequacy of valuation allowances on our loan and real estate investment assets, and our adherence to policies and procedures regarding asset classification and valuation through reports from the Credit Risk Manager and others.
We use 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 and loan-related commitment losses. Our current monitoring process includes the use of asset classifications to segregate the assets, largely loans and real estate, into various risk categories. We use the various asset classifications as a means of measuring risk for determining the valuation allowance for groups and individual assets at a point in time. We currently use a six grade system to classify our assets. The current grades are:
We consider substandard, doubtful and loss assets adversely "classified assets" for regulatory purposes. A brief description of these classifications follows:
Page 72 |
Navigation Links |
The OTS has the authority to require us to change our asset classifications. If the change results in an asset being classified in whole or in part as loss, a specific allowance must be established against the amount so classified or that amount must be charged off. The OTS generally directs its examiners to rely on managements estimates of adequate general valuation allowances if the Banks process for determining adequate allowances is deemed to be sound.
The majority of our loans are evaluated for credit losses on a collective basis based on FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Unless an individual borrower relationship warrants separate analysis, we generally determine the allowance for credit losses related to loans under $5 million through a statistical analysis of the expected performance of each loan based on historic trends for similar types of borrowers, loans, collateral and economic circumstances. Those amounts may be adjusted based upon an analysis of macro-economic and other trends that are likely to affect a borrowers ability to repay their loan according to their loan terms. In determining the allowance for credit losses related to borrower relationships of $5 million or more, we evaluate the loans on an individual basis, including an analysis of the borrowers creditworthiness, cash flows and financial status, and the condition and the estimated value of the collateral. Loans evaluated individually that are deemed to be impaired are separated from our other credit loss analysis in accordance with FASB Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Given the above evaluations, the amount of the allowance is based upon the total of general valuation allowances, allocated allowances and specific allowances.
We utilize the asset classifications from our internal asset review process in the following manner to determine the amount of our allowances:

During 2007, our provision for credit losses was $310.1 million, compared with $26.6 million in 2006 and $2.3 million in 2005. Our provision for credit losses less net loan charge-offs and the TDR yield adjustment resulted in an increase of $287.4 million in our allowance for credit losses to $349.4 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in our allowance reflected an increase of $144.4 million in general valuation allowances to $196.3 million, an increase of $98.5 million in allocated valuation allowances to $108.0 million and an increase in specific valuation allowances of $44.5 million to $45.1 million. All increases were primarily related to our one-to-four unit residential portfolio. The allowance for credit losses was comprised of $348.2 million for loan losses and $1.2 million for loan-related commitments reported in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Our 2006 provision for credit losses less net loan charge-offs resulted in an increase of $26.1 million in our allowance for credit losses to $62.0 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in our allowance reflected an increase of $18.4 million in general valuation allowances to $51.9 million, and an increase of $7.7 million in allocated allowances to $10.1 million, primarily related to our one-to-four unit residential portfolio. The allowance for credit losses was comprised of $61.0 million for loan losses and $1.0 million for loan-related commitments.
The following table summarizes the activity in our allowance for loan losses for the years indicated.

We consider a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, we believe it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In addition, all TDRs, including portfolio retention modifications, are considered to be impaired. We carry impaired loans at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loans observable market price or the net fair value of the collateral securing the loan. Impaired loans exclude large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that we collectively evaluate for impairment. Generally, loans we collectively review for impairment include all single family loans and performing multi-family and non-residential loans having principal balances of less than $5 million, unless an individual loan or borrower relationship warrants separate analysis.
In determining impairment, we consider large non-homogeneous loans that are on non-accrual, have been restructured or are performing but exhibit, among other characteristics, high loan-to-value ratios or delinquent taxes. We base the measurement of collateral dependent impaired loans on the net fair value of the loans collateral. We value non-collateral dependent loans based on a present value calculation of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective rate or the loans observable market price. We generally use cash receipts on impaired loans not performing according to contractual terms to reduce the carrying value of the loan, unless we believe we will recover the remaining principal balance of the loan, in which case we may recognize interest income. We include impairment losses in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to provision for credit losses. We include adjustments to impairment losses due to changes in the fair value of the collateral of impaired loans in provision for credit losses. For TDRs of residential one-to-four unit loans, we include adjustments to impairment losses due to the change in cash flow as an adjustment to loan yield. Upon disposition of an impaired loan, we record loss of principal through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses. The recorded investment in loans for which we recognized impairment totaled $486 million at December 31, 2007. Of the total, $441 million related to residential one-to-four unit loan TDRs with an allowance for loss of $39 million, $29 million related to one land loan with an allowance for loss of $4 million, $15 million related to two construction loans with an allowance for loss of $2 million, and $1 million related to one residential one-to-four unit loan with no allowance for loss. This is up from an $11 million recorded investment in one land loan at December 31, 2006 with an allowance for loss of less than $1 million. During 2007, the total interest recognized on the impaired portfolio was $3.4 million, compared to no interest recognized in 2006. For further information regarding impaired loans, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 102.
The following table summarizes the activity in our allowance for credit losses associated with impaired loans for the years indicated.

The provision of $49.4 million during 2007 is primarily due to $39.5 million associated with certain TDRs resulting from our borrower retention program which is discussed more fully in the section entitled "Non-Performing Assets," $7.5 million related to two land loans, and $1.5 million related to two construction loans.
The current year net charge-offs of $4.4 million are primarily related to a $4.0 million charge-off for one land loan that is reported as real estate acquired through foreclosure at year end.

We do not maintain an allowance for real estate acquired in settlement of loans as we record the related individual assets at fair value and any subsequent losses are recorded as a direct write-off to net operations. For a discussion on our real estate acquired in settlement of loans, refer to Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans on page 70.
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 during 2007 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 December 31, 2007, our FHLB borrowings totaled $1.2 billion, representing 8.9% 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 year end, to borrow an additional $5.5 billion. To the extent 2008 deposit growth falls short of satisfying ongoing commitments to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans, make investments, and continue branch improvement programs, we may utilize the additional capacity from our FHLB borrowing arrangement or other sources. As of December 31, 2007, we had commitments to borrowers for short-term interest rate locks, before the reduction of expected fallout, of $278 million, of which $82 million were related to residential one-to-four unit loans being originated for sale in the secondary market. We also had undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit of $307 million and operating leases of $18 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. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank had the capacity to declare a dividend totaling $258 million subject to filing an application with the OTS at least 30 days prior to the distribution and the OTS approves the dividend. At December 31, 2007, the holding companys liquid assets, including due from Bankinterest bearing balances, totaled $102 million, down from $108 million at the end of 2006.
Stockholders equity totaled $1.3 billion at December 31, 2007, $1.4 billion at December 31, 2006 and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2005.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
Through the normal course of operations, we have entered into 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 significant 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 customers 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 loan 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 does not represent future cash requirements. For further information regarding our derivative instruments, see Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk on page 60 and Note 20 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 120.
We sell all loans without recourse. When a loan sold to an investor without recourse fails to perform according to the contractual terms of the note, 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. We recorded repurchase or indemnification losses related to defects in the origination process of $1.1 million in 2007 and $1.2 million in 2006 and repurchased $16 million of loans and $2 million of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in 2007 and $3 million in 2006.
The loan and servicing sale contracts may also contain provisions to refund sale price premiums to the purchaser if the related loans prepay during a period not to exceed 120 days from the sales settlement date. We reserved less than $1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006 to cover the estimated loss exposure related to early payoffs. However, if all the loans related to those sales prepaid within the refund period, as of December 31, 2007, our maximum sales price premium refund would be $1 million. See Note 20 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 120.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. Adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on us.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), ("SFAS 158"), which requires employers to recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, SFAS 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The new reporting requirements and related new footnote disclosure rules of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The new measurement date requirement applies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Adoption of the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 is not expected to have a material impact on us.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"), which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the companys choice to use fair value on its earnings. SFAS 159 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements of other accounting standards, including fair value measurement disclosures in SFAS 157. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of Statement 157. Adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on us.
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109
In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings ("SAB. 109"). SAB 109 provides the staffs views on the accounting for written loan commitments recorded at fair value. To make the staffs views consistent with Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, and Statement No. 159, SAB 109 revises and rescinds portions of SAB No. 105, Application of Accounting Principals to Loan Commitments, and specifically states that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at face value through earnings. The provisions of SAB 109 are applicable to written loan commitments issued or modified beginning on January 1, 2008. Adoption of SAB 109 is not expected to have a material impact on us.
Financial Interpretation No. 48
FIN 48 was adopted during the first quarter of 2007. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation that it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of a tax position, that an enterprise is entitled to economic benefits resulting from positions taken in income tax returns. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. Adoption of FIN 48 resulted in an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings of $3.2 million, relating to the recognition of a previously unrecognized tax benefit associated with bad debt reserves for tax purposes. Management has determined there are no additional unrecognized tax benefits to be reported in Downeys financial statements, and none are anticipated during the next 12 months. For the cumulative effect from the adoption of FIN 48, see Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Equity on page 89.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Downey Financial Corp. ("Downey") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Downeys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of Downeys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Downeys financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Throughout 2007 and as of December 31, 2007, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of Downeys internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that Downeys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 is effective.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Downeys management and the directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Downeys assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements of Downey included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of Downeys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. The report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Downeys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, is included in this Item under the heading "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm."

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Downey Financial Corp.:
We have audited Downey Financial Corp.s ("Downey") internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Downeys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying managements report on internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Downeys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Downey maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Downey Financial Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, and our report dated February 28, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Downey Financial Corp. And Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of Downey Financial Corp. and subsidiaries ("Downey") include all accounts of Downey Financial Corp. and the consolidated accounts of all subsidiaries, including Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A. ("Bank"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Business
Downey provides a full range of financial services to individual and corporate customers and engages in real estate development activities, primarily in California. Downey is subject to competition from other financial institutions. Downey is subject to the regulations of certain governmental agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and the results of operations for the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowances for credit, real estate and mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") losses, the valuation of interest rate lock commitments and prepayment reserves related to sales of loans and MSRs. Management believes that the allowances established for credit, real estate and MSRs losses are adequate, that the valuations of interest rate lock commitments are reasonable and that the prepayment reserves are sufficient. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, loan-related commitments, real estate and MSRs; to value interest rate lock commitments; and to review the adequacy of prepayment reserves, future changes to the allowances, valuations or prepayment reserves may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, including market interest rates. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review Downeys allowances for losses on loans, loan-related commitments, real estate and MSRs; valuation of interest rate lock commitments; and prepayment reserves. Such agencies may require Downey to recognize changes to the allowances, valuations or prepayment reserves based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Downey is required to carry its loans held for sale portfolio, mortgage-backed and investment securities available for sale portfolios, real estate acquired in settlement of loans, real estate held for investment or under development, derivatives and MSRs at the lower of cost or fair value or in certain cases, at fair value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based upon relevant market information and other information about the asset or liability. Fair value for investment and mortgage-backed securities and loans held for sale, is based on bid prices or bid quotations received from security dealers or readily available market quote systems. Fair value for derivatives is based on dealer quoted prices acquired from third parties. Fair value estimates for real estate acquired in settlement of loans and real estate held for investment or under development is determined by current appraisals and, where no active market exists for a particular property, discounting a forecast of expected cash flows at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Fair value for MSRs is determined by computing the present value of the expected net servicing income from the portfolio by strata, determined by using key characteristics of the underlying loans, primarily coupon interest rate and whether the loans are fixed or variable rate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, certificates of deposit with maturities of three months or less and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one day periods.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Purchased Under Resale Agreements, U.S. Treasury Securities and Government Sponsored Entity Securities, Other Investment Securities, Municipal Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities
Downey has established written guidelines and objectives for its investing activities. At the time of purchase of a mortgage-backed security purchased under resale agreement, U.S. Treasury security and government sponsored entity security, other investment security, municipal security or a mortgage-backed security, management of Downey designates the security as either held to maturity, available for sale or held for trading based on Downeys investment objectives, operational needs and intent. Downey then monitors its investment activities to ensure that those activities are consistent with the established guidelines and objectives.
Held to Maturity.
Securities held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are recognized in interest income using the interest method. Mortgage-backed securities represent participating interests in pools of long-term first mortgage loans originated and serviced by the issuers of the securities. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity are carried at unpaid principal balances, adjusted for unamortized premiums and unearned discounts. Premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed securities are amortized using the interest method over the remaining period to the call date for premiums or contractual maturity for discounts, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. It is the positive intent of Downey, and Downey has the ability, to hold these securities until maturity as part of its portfolio of long-term, interest-earning assets. If the cost basis of these securities is determined to be other than temporarily impaired, the amount of the impairment is charged to operations. Downey had no investment securities classified as held to maturity at December 31, 2007 or 2006.
Available for Sale.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method over the remaining period to the call date for premiums or contractual maturity for discounts and, in the case of mortgage-backed securities, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders equity as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes, unless the security is deemed other than temporarily impaired.
Downey monitors its available-for-sale investment portfolio for impairment. Many factors are considered in determining whether the impairment is deemed to be other than temporary, including, but not limited to, the length of time the security has had a market value less than the cost basis, the severity of the loss, the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value, recent events specific to the issuer or industry, external credit ratings and recent downgrades in such ratings. If the security is determined to be other than temporarily impaired, the amount of the impairment is charged to operations.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale, determined using the specific identification method and recorded on a trade date basis, are reflected in earnings.
Held for Trading.
Securities held for trading are carried at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in earnings. Downey had no investment securities classified as held for trading at December 31, 2007 or 2006.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements---(Continued)
Derivatives and Hedges
Derivative financial instruments are recorded 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 is reported in current earnings or other comprehensive income, net of tax, if they qualify for hedge accounting and if the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair values or the cash flows of the asset or liability being hedged. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to the variability in fair values or expected future cash flows are considered fair value hedges or cash flow hedges, respectively. 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.
Loans Held for Sale
Downey identifies at origination those loans which foreseeably may be sold prior to maturity. These loans have been classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recorded at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, determined on an aggregate basis. Effective with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), the carrying amount includes a basis adjustment to the loan at funding resulting from the change in the fair value of the interest rate lock derivative from the date of rate lock to the date of funding. Downey may sell loans which had been held for investment. In such occurrences, the loans are transferred to the held for sale portfolio at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. If any part of a decline in value of the loans transferred is due to credit deterioration, that decline is recorded as a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses at the time of transfer.
Downey may transfer loans held for sale to held for investment. In such occurrences, the loans are transferred at the lower of cost or fair value. If there is an adjustment due to a decline in fair value, the loss is recorded in current earnings within the category of net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities at the time of transfer.
Gains or Losses on Sales of Loans and MSRs
Gains or losses on sales of loans are recognized at the time of sale and are determined by the difference between the net sales proceeds and the basis of the loans sold. Downey capitalizes MSRs at fair value for residential one-to-four unit mortgage loans we originate and sell with servicing rights retained and for MSRs acquired through purchase. The MSRs are included as a component of gain on sale of loans. The MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of net servicing income. Such amortization is reflected as a component of loan servicing income (loss), net.
Allowance for MSR Losses
MSRs are periodically reviewed for impairment based on their fair value. The fair value of the MSRs, for the purposes of impairment, is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on available market information, anticipated prepayment speeds, a custodial account earnings rate and market-adjusted discount rates. Market sources are used to determine prepayment speeds, the net cost of servicing a loan, inflation rate and default and interest rates for mortgages.
Downey measures MSR impairment on a disaggregated basis based on the following predominant risk characteristics of the underlying mortgage loans: by loan term and coupon rate (stratified in 50 basis point increments). Impairment losses are recognized through a valuation allowance for each impaired stratum, with any associated provision or reduction recorded as a component of loan servicing income (loss), net. Certain stratum may have impairment, while other stratum may have gains. Since strata with impairment losses cannot be netted against strata with gains, changes in overall MSR fair value may not equal provisions for, or reductions of, the valuation allowance. Once a quarter, Downey conducts model validation procedures by obtaining three independent broker results for the fair value of MSRs and compares them to the results of its MSR model. An impairment is considered permanent when the underlying loans have repaid faster than the amortization of the associated MSRs, thereby requiring a reduction in the carrying value of the MSRs.

Loans Held for Investment
Loans are recorded at cost, net of discounts and premiums, undisbursed loan proceeds, net deferred fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses.
Interest income on loans is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on loans are amortized to income using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity. The amortization of discounts into income is discontinued on loans that are contractually ninety days past due or when collection of interest appears doubtful.
Loan origination fees and related incremental direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized to income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for actual prepayments. Fees received for a commitment to originate or purchase a loan or group of loans are deferred and, if the commitment is exercised, recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of yield or, if the commitment expires unexercised, recognized as income upon expiration of the commitment. The amortization of deferred fees and costs is discontinued on loans that are contractually ninety days past due or when collection of interest appears doubtful. Any remaining deferred fees or costs and prepayment fees associated with loans that payoff prior to contractual maturity are included in interest income in the period of payoff.
Accrued interest on loans, including impaired loans, that are contractually ninety days or more past due or when collection of interest appears doubtful is generally reversed and charged against interest income. Income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received and the principal balance is expected to be recovered. Such loans are restored to an accrual status only if the loan is brought contractually current and the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make future payments of principal and interest.
For troubled debt restructurings of residential one-to-four unit loans, a specific valuation allowance is calculated as the difference between the recorded investment of the original loan and the present value of the cash flows of the modified loan (discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan). This difference is recorded as a provision for credit losses in current earnings and subsequently amortized over the expected life of the loans as an adjustment to loan yield or as a reduction of the provision if the loan is prepaid.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is maintained at an amount management deems adequate to cover inherent losses at the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses includes an allowance for loan losses reported as a reduction of loans held for investment and the allowance for loan-related commitments reported in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Downey has implemented and adheres to an internal asset review system and loss allowance methodology designed to provide for the detection of problem assets and an adequate allowance to cover credit losses.
Unless an individual loan or borrower relationship warrants separate analysis, Downey generally reviews all loans under $5 million through a statistical analysis of the expected performance of each loan based on historic trends for similar types of borrowers, loans, collateral and economic circumstances. Those amounts may be adjusted based on an analysis of macro-economic and other trends that are likely to affect the borrowers ability to repay their loan according to their loan terms. Given the above evaluations, the amount of the allowance is based upon the summation of general valuation allowances and allocated allowances.
In determining the allowance for credit losses related to borrower relationships of $5 million or more, Downey evaluates the loans on an individual basis, including an analysis of the borrowers creditworthiness, cash flows and financial status, and the condition and the estimated value of the collateral.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements---(Continued)
General valuation allowances relate to assets with no well-defined deficiency or weakness and are determined by applying against such assets loss factors for each major asset type that consider past loss experience and asset duration. Allocated allowances relate to assets with well-defined deficiencies or weaknesses and are generally determined by loss factors based on loss statistics or are determined by the excess of the recorded investment in the asset over the fair value of the collateral, where appropriate.
Downey considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes it is probable that Downey will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In determining impairment, Downey considers large non-homogeneous loans that are on non-accrual, have been restructured or are performing but exhibit, among other characteristics, high loan-to-value ratios or delinquent taxes. Downey bases the measurement of collateral dependent impaired loans on the net fair value of the loans collateral. Non-collateral dependent loans are valued based on a present value calculation of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loans effective rate or the loans observable market price. Cash receipts on impaired loans not performing according to contractual terms are generally used to reduce the carrying value of the loan unless Downey believes it will recover the remaining principal balance of the loan. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for credit losses through a charge to provision for credit losses. Adjustments to impairment losses due to changes in the fair value of collateral of impaired loans are included in provision for credit losses. Upon disposition of an impaired loan, loss of principal, if any, is recorded through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses.
In 2007, Downey recorded a specific valuation allowance for troubled debt restructurings of residential one-to-four unit loans related to a borrower retention program. This program was initiated at the beginning of the third quarter of 2007 to provide borrowers who are current with their loan payments a cost effective means to change from an ARM subject to negative amortization to a less costly financing alternative. These loans are considered troubled debt restructurings because the modified interest rates were lower than the interest rates on the original loans and the loans were not re-underwritten to prove the new interest rates were, in fact, market interest rates for borrowers with similar credit quality. Even though the interest rates following the modifications were no less than those offered new borrowers, these loans have been placed on non-accrual status. Interest income will be recorded as these borrowers make their loan payments on a cash basis. If these borrowers perform pursuant to the modified terms for six consecutive months, the loans will be placed back on accrual status but they will still be reported as troubled debt restructurings. The specific valuation allowance for these troubled debt restructurings has been calculated as the difference between the recorded investment of the original loan and the present value of the expected cash flows of the modified loan (discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan based on an expected life). This difference is recorded as a provision for credit losses in current earnings and subsequently amortized over the expected life of the loans or as a reduction of the provision if the loan is prepaid. We include adjustments to impairment losses due to the change in cash flows from changes over time as an adjustment to loan yield or as a reduction of the provision if the loan is prepaid.
In the opinion of management, and in accordance with the credit loss allowance methodology, the present allowance is considered adequate to absorb estimable and probable credit losses. Additions and reductions to the allowance are reflected in current operations. Charge-offs to the allowance are made when specific assets are considered uncollectible or are transferred to real estate acquired in settlement of loans and the fair value of the property is less than the loans recorded investment. Recoveries are credited to the allowance.
Loan Servicing
Downey services and sub-services mortgage loans for investors. Fees earned for servicing loans owned by investors are reported as income when the related mortgage loan payments are collected. Fees earned for sub-servicing are recorded on an accrual basis. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Investment in Real Estate and Joint Ventures
Real estate held for investment or under development is held at the lower of cost (less accumulated depreciation) or fair value. Costs, including interest, of holding real estate in the process of development or improvement are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding completed property are expensed. An allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value, including the consideration of disposition costs.
Downey utilizes the equity method of accounting for investments in joint ventures, as they do not meet consolidation requirements. All intercompany profits are eliminated.
Income from the sale of real estate is recognized principally when title to the property has passed to the buyer, minimum down payment requirements are met and the terms of any notes received by Downey satisfy continuing investment requirements. At the time of sale, costs are relieved from real estate projects on a relative sales value basis and charged to operations.
Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is recorded at fair value less cost to sell on the date of foreclosure and any subsequent fair value losses are recorded as a loss provision, included in net operations, with a corresponding charge-off to the asset. All legal fees and direct costs, including foreclosure and other related costs, are expensed as incurred.
Premises and Equipment
Buildings, leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the related leases. The estimated useful life of newly constructed buildings is 40 years and the lives of new assets that are added to existing buildings are 15 years. The estimated useful life for furniture, fixtures and equipment, including computer equipment and software, is three to ten years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Downey reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
Downey enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase. Repurchase agreements are treated as financing arrangements and, accordingly, the obligations to repurchase the securities sold are reflected as liabilities in Downeys consolidated financial statements. The securities collateralizing these repurchase agreements are delivered to several major national brokerage firms who arranged the transactions. These securities are reflected as assets in Downeys consolidated financial statements. The brokerage firms may loan such securities to other parties in the normal course of their operations and agree to return the identical securities to Downey at the maturity of the agreements.
Senior Notes and Junior Subordinated Debentures
Long-term borrowings are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are recognized in interest expense using the interest method. Debt issuance costs are recognized in interest expense using the interest method over the life of the instrument.

Income Taxes
Downey applies the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The asset and liability method recognizes deferred income taxes for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Deferred tax assets are to be recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future years and for tax carryforwards if, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Treasury Stock
Downey applies the cost method of accounting for treasury stock. The cost method requires Downey to record the reacquisition cost of treasury stock as a deduction from stockholders equity on the balance sheet. The treasury stock account is increased for the cost of the shares acquired and is reduced upon reissuance at cost on a first-in-first-out basis. If the treasury shares are reissued at a price in excess of the acquisition cost, the excess is added to paid-in capital from treasury stock. If the treasury shares are reissued at less than acquisition cost, the deficiency is treated as a reduction of any paid-in capital related to previous reissuances or retirements. If the balance in paid-in capital from treasury stock is insufficient to absorb the deficiency, the remainder is recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.
Stock Option Plan
Downey has not issued stock options during 2007, 2006 or 2005 and all outstanding options were fully vested prior to 2004. Therefore, for the years 2007, 2006 and 2005, Downeys net income and income per share would not have been reduced had Downey applied the fair value method of accounting set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
Per Share Information
Two earnings per share ("EPS") measures are presented. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding common shares in treasury. Diluted EPS 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, excluding common shares in treasury.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. Adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), ("SFAS 158"), which requires employers to recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, SFAS 158 requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The new reporting requirements and related new footnote disclosure rules of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The new measurement date requirement applies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Adoption of the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 is not expected to have a material impact.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"), which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the companys choice to use fair value on its earnings. SFAS 159 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements of other accounting standards, including fair value measurement disclosures in SFAS 157. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of Statement 157. Adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact.
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109
In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings ("SAB. 109"). SAB 109 provides the staffs views on the accounting for written loan commitments recorded at fair value. To make the staffs views consistent with Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, and Statement No. 159, SAB 109 revises and rescinds portions of SAB No. 105, Application of Accounting Principals to Loan Commitments, and specifically states that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at face value through earnings. The provisions of SAB 109 are applicable to written loan commitments issued or modified beginning on January 1, 2008. Adoption of SAB 109 is not expected to have a material impact.
Financial Interpretation No. 48
FIN 48 was adopted during the first quarter of 2007. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation that it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of a tax position, that an enterprise is entitled to economic benefits resulting from positions taken in income tax returns. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. Adoption of FIN 48 resulted in an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings of $3.2 million, relating to the recognition of a previously unrecognized tax benefit associated with bad debt reserves for tax purposes. Management has determined there are no additional unrecognized tax benefits to be reported in Downeys financial statements, and none are anticipated during the next 12 months. For the cumulative effect from the adoption of FIN 48, see Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Equity on page 89.

The temporary impairment in both years is a result of the change in market interest rates and not the underlying issuers ability to repay. Downey has the intent and ability to hold these securities until the temporary impairment is eliminated. Accordingly, Downey has not recognized the temporary impairment in the earnings of either year.

Net unrealized gains on mortgage-backed securities available for sale recognized in stockholders equity as accumulated other comprehensive income was less than $1,000 at both at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
As part of Downeys secondary marketing activity, Downey enters into forward sales commitments with investors to deliver mortgage-backed securities collateralized by our loans. This is accomplished through a securitization transaction, which involves the receipt of mortgage-backed securities in exchange for loans that Downey sells to a government sponsored entity. Settlement of the forward sales commitment and the securitization transaction occur on the same day, whereby Downey does not retain the mortgage-backed securities. However, based on market conditions in the future, Downey may retain the mortgage-backed securities for a period of time prior to selling it in the capital markets. In this event, Downey will not record a gain or loss from the exchange on the date of securitization. However, if Downey has the intention to sell the mortgage-backed securities in the future, Downey will designate the mortgage-backed securities as a trading security in the Consolidated Balance Sheet with changes in fair value included in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

At December 31, 2007, approximately 89% of the real estate securing Downeys loans was located in California. As a result, the value of the underlying collateral for a significant portion of our loans may be unfavorably impacted by adverse changes in the California economy and real estate market.
The combined weighted average interest rate on loans held for investment and sale was 7.41% and 7.59% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These rates exclude adjustments for non-accrual loans; amortization of net deferred costs to originate loans, premiums and discounts; and prepayment and late fees.

Most of Downeys adjustable rate mortgages adjust the interest rate monthly and the payment amount annually. These monthly adjustable rate mortgages allow for negative amortization, which is the addition to loan principal of accrued interest that exceeds the required monthly loan payments. At December 31, 2007, loans subject to negative amortization represented 69% of Downeys residential one-to-four unit adjustable rate portfolio held for investment, of which $379 million represented the amount of negative amortization included in the loan balance. This compares to 85% and $320 million, respectively, at December 31, 2006. During 2007, approximately 28% of our loan interest income represented negative amortization, up from 27% in 2006 and 16% in 2005.

During 2007, provision for loan losses totaled $310.0 million, compared with $26.9 million in 2006 and $2.3 million in 2005. The increase to the allowance in 2007 primarily reflected further increases in delinquent loans and declines in the value of underlying home collateral due to the continued weakening and uncertainty relative to the housing market. This has been particularly true in certain geographic areas such as the greater Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto and Monterey areas of Northern California, the Inland Empire and San Diego County. As a result, an increase in the allowance for loan losses was deemed appropriate. Included within the 2007 provision for loan losses was $39.5 million related to the creation of a specific allowance associated with certain troubled debt restructurings resulting from a borrower retention program. The allowance related to the troubled debt restructurings is calculated as the difference between the recorded investment of the original loan and the present value of the expected cash flows of the modified loan (discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan based on an expected life). This difference is recorded as a provision for credit losses in current earnings and subsequently amortized over the expected life of the loans as an adjustment to loan yield, thereby decreasing the allowance balance, or as a reduction of the provision if the loan is prepaid. The increase in 2006 provision for loan losses reflected an increase in unsold housing inventory, a decline in home prices, and increases in both negative amortization balances and loan defaults. These trends are typically leading indicators of increased losses.
Net charge-offs to average loans was 0.18% in 2007, less than 0.01% in 2006, and 0.01% in 2005.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans totaled $98.7 million and $0.9 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2007, there was $3.4 million of interest recognized following impairment on the impaired loan portfolio, while there was no interest recognized following impairment on the impaired loan portfolio in 2006. Total interest recognized on the impaired loan portfolio was $0.1 million in 2005, which is virtually the same for interest recognized on a cash basis over that period.
The aggregate amount of non-accrual loans that are in the foreclosure process, restructured, contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, or upon which interest collection is doubtful were $926 million and $102 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Downey had $3 million of commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were on non-accrual status. At December 31, 2007, Downeys troubled debt restructurings were $432 million, all of which were on non-accrual status, while at December 31, 2006 there were no troubled debt restructurings.
Interest due on non-accrual loans, but excluded from interest income, was approximately $21.0 million at December 31, 2007, compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2006 and $1.2 million at December 31, 2005.

Downey has had, and expects in the future to have, transactions in the ordinary course of business with executive officers, directors and their associates on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other non-related parties. In the opinion of management, those transactions neither involve more than the normal risk of collectibility nor present any unfavorable features. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had extended loans to one director and his associates totaling $19 million compared to $21 million at December 31, 2006. All such loans are performing in accordance with their loan terms. Presented below is a summary of activity with respect to such loans for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006:

Key assumptions, which vary due to changes in market interest rates and are used to determine the fair value of MSRs, include: expected prepayment speeds, which impact the average life of the portfolio; the earnings rate on custodial accounts, which impact the value of custodial accounts; and the discount rate used in valuing future cash flows. The following table summarizes the estimated changes in the fair value of MSRs 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 MSRs. Impairment is measured on a disaggregated basis based upon the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying mortgage loans, which include loans by loan term and coupon rate (stratified in 50 basis point increments).
Impairment losses are recognized through a valuation allowance for each impaired stratum, with any associated provision recorded as a component of loan servicing income (loss), net. 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements---(Continued)
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.

The effective tax rates for 2007, 2006, and 2005 include interest expense of $1.7 million, $5.5 million, and $3.0 million, respectively, related to payments of prior year taxes. The rates for 2006 and 2005 reflect a reduction to federal tax expense of $3.2 million in each year from the settlement of prior year tax return issues. In addition, income taxes for 2007 and 2006 were reduced by $1.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, due to a decline in the income tax reserves related to managements favorable assessment of our income tax exposure.
Downey made income and franchise tax payments, net of refunds, amounting to $200.0 million, $177.3 million, and $144.0 million in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
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 ("IRS") is currently examining Downeys tax returns for 2003, 2004, and 2005. All tax years subsequent to 2002 are subject to federal examination, while state tax returns for years subsequent to 2001 are subject to examination by taxing authorities. Downey has determined that its treatment of certain loan origination costs in tax years 2003 through 2005 was improper and has filed amended tax returns for those years and paid tax (previously provided in prior periods) and interest to federal and state taxing authorities in the amount of $144.7 million to resolve this issue. The after-tax interest assessment related to Downeys tax returns for 2003 through 2005 totaled $10.9 million. Of that amount, $1.7 million was accrued for 2007 and has been recorded as additional income taxes, and $9.2 million was accrued for 2004 through 2006 and has been reflected in income taxes. When applicable, Downey classifies interest (net of tax) and penalties on the underpayment of taxes as income tax expense.
Adoption of FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007 resulted in an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings of $3.2 million, relating to the recognition of a previously unrecognized tax benefit associated with bad debt reserves for tax purposes. Management has determined there are no additional unrecognized tax benefits to be reported in Downeys financial statements, and none are anticipated during the next 12 months.

Regulatory Capital
The Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") which has adopted regulations ("Capital Regulations") that contain a capital standard for savings institutions. The Bank is in compliance with the Capital Regulations at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Regulatory guidance considers subprime lending a high-risk activity that is unsafe and unsound if the risks associated with subprime lending are not properly controlled. Specifically, this guidance sets forth expectations of regulatory capital one and one-half to three times higher than that typically set aside for prime assets for institutions that:
Downeys subprime portfolio, pursuant to its definition, represented 38% of Tier 1 capital as of year-end 2007. The OTS notified Downey that as of March 31, 2003, it was required to risk weight the subprime residential loans at 75% versus a 50% risk weighting. This change increased the required regulatory capital associated with subprime loans by one and one-half times that of prime residential loans. Downey is not subject to any other regulatory capital requirements.
Undercapitalized institutions are subject to certain prompt corrective action requirements, regulatory controls and restrictions, which become more extensive as an institution becomes more severely undercapitalized. Failure by Downey to comply with applicable capital requirements would, if unremedied, result in restrictions on its activities and lead to regulatory enforcement actions against it including, but not limited to, the issuance of a capital directive to ensure the maintenance of required capital levels. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 requires regulators to take prompt corrective action with respect to depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements.

Capital Distributions
A savings association that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as the Bank, must file an application or a notice with the OTS at least 30 days before making a capital distribution. Savings associations are not required to file an application for permission to make a capital distribution and need only file a notice if the following conditions are met:
Any other situation would require a savings association to file an application with the OTS. The OTS may disapprove an application or notice if the proposed capital distribution would:
As of December 31, 2007, the Banks capital distributions have been made in accordance with regulatory requirements. Also as of December 31, 2007, the Bank had the capacity to declare a dividend totaling $258 million subject to filing an application with the OTS at least 30 days prior to the distribution and the OTS approving the dividend.
Treasury Stock
On July 24, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50 million of common stock. To initially fund the program, the Bank paid a special $50 million dividend during the third quarter of 2002 to the holding company. Shares were repurchased from time-to-time in open market transactions. The timing, volume and price of purchases were made at Downeys discretion, and were contingent upon its overall financial condition, as well as market conditions in general. On September 27, 2004, the Board of Directors terminated the stock repurchase program due to significant asset growth. A total of 420,800 shares of common stock were repurchased at an average cost of $43.68 per share. During 2004, 39,561 shares of treasury stock were reissued below cost upon the exercise of Downey stock options at an average exercise price of $21.32.

Employee Stock Option Plans
During 1994, the Bank adopted and the stockholders approved the Downey Savings and Loan Association 1994 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"). The LTIP provided for the granting of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance awards and other awards. The LTIP specified an authorization of 434,110 shares (adjusted for stock dividends and splits) of the Banks common stock available for issuance under the LTIP. Effective January 23, 1995, Downey Financial Corp. and the Bank executed an amendment to the LTIP by which Downey Financial Corp. adopted and ratified the LTIP such that shares of Downey Financial Corp. shall be issued upon exercise of options or payment of other awards, for which payment is to be made in stock, in lieu of the Banks common stock. The LTIP terminated in 2004; however, options granted and outstanding at termination remain exercisable until the specific termination date of the option. At December 31, 2007, 381,239 shares of treasury stock may be used to satisfy the exercise of options or for payment of other awards. No other stock based plan exists.
Options outstanding under the LTIP at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are summarized as follows:

Under the LTIP, options are exercisable over vesting periods specified in each grant and, unless exercised, the options terminate between 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.
At December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, options for 52,914 shares were outstanding and were exercisable at a weighted average option price per share of $25.44. At December 31, 2007, these options had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 12 months.
Downey measured 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 option plan, as stock options were granted at fair value at the date of grant. Had compensation expense for Downeys stock option plan been determined based on the fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes model at the grant date for previous awards, stock-based compensation would have been fully expensed over the vesting period as of December 31, 2002. Therefore, for the years 2007, 2006, and 2005, Downeys net income and income per share would not have been reduced.

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

Retirement and Savings Plan
The Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A. Employees Retirement and Savings Plan ("the Plan") was established as a profit-sharing plan on January 1, 1978 and was originally called the Employees Profit-Sharing Plan of Downey Savings and Loan Association. The Plan was amended and restated in its entirety as of October 1, 1997 and July 1, 2002 and was a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under the Internal Revenue Code Sections 401(a) and 401(k). The Plan has been amended as of October 1, 2004 and is intended to be a qualified retirement plan under the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Plan, all employees of Downey are eligible to participate provided they complete three full months of service, provided they are at least 18 years of age and are not (1) covered by a collective bargaining agreement, (2) a leased employee, (3) a nonresident alien who does not receive any earning income, and (4) an employee within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 401 (c) (3). Participants could contribute up to 60% of their eligible compensation, not to exceed the IRS limit in a calendar year or $15,500 in 2007. In addition, participants who reach age 50 or older by December 31 of the Plan year may contribute an additional amount of their eligible compensation as a catch-up contribution as provided by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act. The limit for 2007 is $5,000. Downey makes a matching contribution to participants that meet the previously mentioned eligibility requirements and that complete one year of service. Downey makes matching contributions up to 50% of the participants pre-tax contributions subject to a maximum of 6% per pay period of eligible compensation. Participants may rollover into the Plan amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans.
Prior to October 1, 2004, all employees of Downey were eligible to participate provided they were 18 years of age and had completed one year of service. Participants could contribute up to 60% of their compensation each year, subject to limitations and provisions in the Plan. Downey made matching contributions equal to 50% of participants pre-tax contributions subject to a maximum of 6% per pay period.

Downeys contributions to the Plan totaled $2.3 million for both 2007 and 2006, compared to $2.1 million in 2005 and was recorded in salaries and related costs.
Downey has a Deferred Compensation Plan for key management employees and directors. Participants are eligible to defer compensation on a pre-tax basis, including director fees, and earn a competitive interest rate on the amounts deferred. As of December 31, 2007, 117 management employees and 10 directors were eligible to participate in the program. During 2007, 20 management employees and no directors elected to defer compensation pursuant to the plan. Downeys expense related to the Deferred Compensation Plan has been less than $0.1 million each year since inception. At December 31, 2007, the associated liability was $2.7 million.
Group Benefit Plan
Downey provides certain health and welfare benefits for active employees under a cafeteria plan ("Benefit Plan") as defined by section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Benefit Plan, employees make appropriate selections as to the type of benefits and the amount of coverage desired. The benefits are provided through insurance companies and other health organizations and are funded by contributions from Downey, employees and retirees and include deductibles, co-insurance provisions and other limitations. Downeys expense for health and welfare benefits was $11.5 million, $9.5 million and $8.6 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
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 interest 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 interest rate lock commitments does not qualify for hedge accounting. Associated fair value adjustments to the notional amount of interest 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 interest rate lock commitments are based on dealer quoted 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 interest rate lock derivative from the date of rate lock to the date of funding. At December 31, 2007, Downey had a notional amount of interest rate lock commitments identified to sell as part of its secondary marketing activities of $53 million, with a fair value gain of $0.2 million.
Downey does not generally enter into derivative transactions for purely speculative purposes.
Derivative Hedging Activities
As part of its secondary marketing activities, Downey typically utilizes short-term loan forward sale and purchase contractsderivativesthat 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 interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale. In general, interest rate lock commitments associated with fixed rate loans require a higher percentage of loan 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 loan 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
Page 120 |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements---(Continued)
fair value of the notional amount of loan 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 impact earnings. 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 loan forward sale contracts are based on dealer quoted market prices acquired from third parties. At December 31, 2007, the notional amount of loan forward sale contracts amounted to $152 million, with a fair value loss of $1.1 million, of which 94 million were designated as cash flow hedges. There were no loan forward purchase contracts at December 31, 2007.
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 it 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 dealer quoted 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 December 31, 2007, swap contracts with a notional amount totaling $430 million were outstanding and had a fair value loss of $3.4 million recorded on the balance sheet in other liabilities and as a decrease to the advances being hedged.

These loan forward sale and swap contracts expose Downey to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the other partiesprimarily government-sponsored enterprises such as Federal National Mortgage Association, securities firms and the FHLB. This risk consists primarily of the termination value of agreements where Downey is in an unfavorable position. Downey controls the credit risk associated with its other 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 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. 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.

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 commitment 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. 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 customers 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.
Downey maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for loan-related commitments associated with undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit. The allowance for losses on loan-related commitments was $1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
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 of the sale, 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. Downey recorded repurchase or indemnification losses related to defects in the origination process of $1.1 million in 2007 and $1.2 million in 2006, and repurchased $16 million of loans and $2 million of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in 2007 and $3 million of loans in 2006.
The loan and servicing sale contracts may also 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 sales settlement date. Downey reserved less than $1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006 to cover the estimated loss exposure related to early payoffs. However, if all the loans related to those sales prepaid within the refund period, as of December 31, 2007, Downeys maximum sales price premium refund would be $1 million.
Through the normal course of operations, Downey has entered into certain contractual obligations. Downeys obligations generally relate to the funding of operations through deposits and borrowings, loan servicing, 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.

Litigation
On October 29, 2004, two former traditional branch employees brought an action in Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. BC323796, entitled "Margie Holman and Alice A. Mesec, et al. v. Downey Savings and Loan Association." The first amended complaint seeks unspecified damages for alleged unpaid regular and overtime wages, inadequate meal breaks, failure to pay split-shift and reporting time wages, and related claims. The plaintiffs are seeking class action status to represent all other current and former Downey Savings employees who held the position of Customer Service Supervisor and/or Customer Service Representative at Downeys in-store branches at any time from October 29, 2000 to date. Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances with retained outside counsel, (i) Downey Savings plans to oppose the claim and assert all appropriate defenses and (ii) management has provided for what is believed to be a reasonable estimate of exposure for this matter in the event of loss. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on Downeys 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, will have a material adverse effect on its operations, cash flows or financial position.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based upon relevant market and other information about the financial instrument. The estimates do not necessarily reflect the price Downey might receive if it were to sell at one time its entire holding of a particular financial instrument. Because no active market exists for a significant portion of Downeys financial instruments, fair value estimates are based upon the following methods and assumptions, some of which are subjective in nature. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Cash, Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Resale Agreements
Fair value equals their book values due to their short-term repricing characteristics.
Investment Securities Including U.S. Treasuries, Government Sponsored Entity and Mortgage-Backed Securities
Fair value is based upon bid prices, or bid quotations received from securities dealers or readily available market quote systems.
Loans
The fair value of single family residential loans is derived from bid prices or price indications from securities dealers or readily available market quote systems for loans with similar characteristics. The fair value of all other loans is derived by discounting expected future cash flows by estimated market interest rates for loans with similar characteristics.

Downey Financial Corp. And Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements---(Continued)
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
Fair value equals their book value due to their short-term repricing characteristics.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The fair value of MSRs related to loans serviced for others is determined by computing the present value of the expected net servicing income from the portfolio by strata, determined by key characteristics of the underlying loans, primarily coupon interest rate and whether the loans have a fixed or variable rate.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Fair values for interest rate lock commitments and loan forward sale and purchase contracts are based on dealer quoted market prices acquired from third parties.
Deposits
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity such as regular passbook accounts, money market accounts and checking accounts, is the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet. The fair value of deposits with a stated maturity such as certificates of deposit is based on discounting value of contractual cash flows using discount rates equal to current FHLB of San Francisco borrowing rates for similar remaining terms.
FHLB Advances and other borrowings
The fair value of borrowings with a stated maturity is based on discounting future contractual cash flows by discount rates offered for wholesale borrowing rates with similar terms.
Senior Notes
Fair value is based on bid prices or bid quotations received from securities dealers or readily available market quote systems.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
Outstanding commitments to originate loans and mortgage-backed securities held for investment, unused lines of credit, standby letters of credit and other contingent liabilities are not included in the table that follows. See Note 20, for information concerning the notional amount of such financial instruments.

Downey Financial Corp. And Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements---(Continued)
Downey views its business as consisting of two reportable business segmentsbanking and real estate investment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Downey evaluates performance based on the net income generated by each segment. Internal expense allocations between segments are independently negotiated and, where possible, service and price is measured against comparable services available in the external marketplace.
The following describes the two business segments.
Banking
The principal business activities of this segment are attracting funds from the general public and institutions and originating and investing in loans, primarily residential real estate mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities. Included in this segment is real estate acquired in settlement of loans.
This segments primary sources of revenue are interest earned on mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, income from investment securities, gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities, fees earned in connection with loans and deposits and income earned on its portfolio of loans and mortgage-backed securities serviced for investors.
This segments principal expenses are interest incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, including deposits and borrowings, and general and administrative costs.
Real Estate Investment
Real estate development and joint venture operations are conducted principally through the Banks wholly owned subsidiary, DSL Service Company.
DSL Service Company participates as an owner of, or a partner in, a variety of real estate development projects, principally retail neighborhood shopping center and residential developments, most of which are located in California.
In its joint ventures, DSL Service Company is entitled to a priority return on its equity invested in the projects after third-party debt and shares profits and losses with the developer partner, generally on an equal basis. Partnership equity (deficit) accounts are affected by current period results of operations, additional partner advances, partnership distributions and partnership liquidations.
This segments primary sources of revenue are net rental income and gains from the sale of real estate investment assets. This segments principal expenses are interest expense and general and administrative expense.
