NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE (1) Basis of Financial Statement Presentation In the opinion of Downey Financial Corp. and subsidiaries (Downey, we, us and our), the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q) necessary for a fair presentation of Downeys financial condition as of September 30, 2007, December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and changes in cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. For a discussion and amounts related to Downeys revision of prior period data for the tax treatment of certain loan origination costs and the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) effective January 1, 2007, see Note (4) Income Taxes. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and are in compliance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows. The information under the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presumes that the interim consolidated financial statements will be read in conjunction with Downeys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which contains among other things, a description of the business, the latest audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of December 31, 2006 and for the year then ended. Therefore, only material changes in financial condition and results of operations are discussed in the remainder of Part I.
NOTE (2) Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs) The following table summarizes the activity in MSRs and its related allowance for the periods indicated and other related financial data.
(b) The estimated fair value may exceed book value for certain asset strata and excludes loans sold or securitized prior to 1996 and loans sub-serviced without capitalized MSRs. (c) Servicing is performed for a fixed fee per loan each month. The following table summarizes the activity in MSRs and its related allowance for the year-to-date periods indicated.
Downey capitalizes MSRs at fair value for residential one-to-four unit mortgage loans we originate and sell with servicing rights retained and at the lower of cost or fair value for MSRs acquired through purchase. Downey discloses MSRs associated with the origination and sale of loans in the financial statements as a component of the net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities. MSRs are amortized over the estimated servicing period as a component of loan servicing income (loss), net. Downey recognizes impairment losses on the MSRs through a valuation allowance and records any associated provision as a component of loan servicing income (loss), net category. Downeys 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. Key assumptions used to determine the fair value of MSRs, which vary due to changes in market interest rates, include: expected prepayment speeds, which impact the average life of the portfolio; the earnings rate on custodial accounts, which impacts the value of custodial accounts; and the discount rate used in valuing future cash flows. 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. 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. Once a quarter, Downey conducts model validation procedures by obtaining three independent broker results for the fair value of MSRs and comparing them to the results of its MSR model. 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 . 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.
(b) The weighted-average expected life of the MSRs portfolio becomes 42 months. The following table presents a breakdown of the components of loan servicing income (loss), net included in Downeys results of operations for the periods indicated.
The following table presents a breakdown of the components of loan servicing income (loss), net included in Downeys results of operations for the year-to-date periods indicated.
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 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 September 30, 2007, Downey had a notional amount of interest rate lock commitments identified to sell as part of its secondary marketing activities of $93 million, with a change in fair value resulting in a recorded loss of less than $0.1 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 are recorded in net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities. Changes in expected future cash flows related to the 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 (loss), 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 (loss) 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 September 30, 2007, the notional amount of loan forward sale contracts amounted to $172 million, with virtually no change in fair value. Of the total loan forward sale contracts, $77 million were designated as cash flow hedges. The notional amount of loan forward purchase contracts at September 30, 2007 amounted to $10 million, with a change in fair value resulting in a loss of $0.4 million. 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 against 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 September 30, 2007, swap contracts with a notional amount totaling $430 million were outstanding and had a fair value loss of $7.0 million recorded on the balance sheet in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and as a decrease to the advances being hedged. The following table summarizes Downeys interest rate swap contracts at September 30, 2007.
The following table shows the impact from non-qualifying hedges and the ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges on net gains (losses) on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities (i.e., SFAS 133 effect), as well as the impact to other comprehensive income (loss) from qualifying cash flow transactions for the periods indicated. Also shown are the notional amounts or balances for Downeys non-qualifying and qualifying hedge transactions.

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 manages 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 held for investment 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. The following is a summary of commitments with off-balance sheet risk at the dates indicated.
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 manages 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 losses to provide for inherent losses 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 September 30, 2007, December 31, 2006 and September 30, 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 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, Downey may be required to either repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor for losses sustained. If there are no such defects, Downey has no commitment to repurchase the loan. During the first nine months of 2007, Downey recorded repurchase or indemnification losses related to defects in the origination process of $0.5 million and repurchased $15 million of loans. Included in the repurchased loans were $8 million of one-to-four single family residential loans from Fannie Mae, due to loans being outside Fannie Maes underwriting guidelines. 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 typically 90 days, but never more than 120 days, from the sales settlement date. Downey reserved less than $1 million at September 30, 2007, December 31, 2006 and September 30, 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 September 30, 2007, Downeys maximum sales price premium refund would be $2.6 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.
At September 30, 2007, scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit, FHLB advances and other borrowings, senior notes and future operating minimum lease commitments were as follows:
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 Downey Savings 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. 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 that there are no additional unrecognized tax benefits to be reported in Downeys financial statements, and none are anticipated during the next 12 months. 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 $145.0 million to resolve this issue. The after-tax interest assessment related to Downeys tax returns for 2003 through 2005 totaled $11.1 million. Of that amount, $1.9 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. Management has determined that it is unlikely that IRS will assert a penalty against Downey related to its treatment of loan origination costs on prior tax returns, and, accordingly, Downey has not accrued such penalty.
NOTE (5) Employee Stock Option Plans During 1994, Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A. ("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 September 30, 2007, options for 52,914 shares were outstanding, all of which were exercisable at a weighted average option price per share of $25.44, which represented at least the fair market value of such shares on the date the options were granted and expire at December 31, 2008. At September 30, 2007, 381,239 shares of treasury stock existed that may be used to satisfy the exercise of the options or for payment of other awards. No other stock based plan exists. 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 common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted from the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings. The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to derive basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to derive basic and diluted earnings per share for the year-to-date periods indicated.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, there were no options excluded from the computation of earnings per share due to anti-dilution.
NOTE (7) Business Segment Reporting The following table presents the operating results and selected financial data by business segments for the periods indicated.
NOTE (8) Recently Issued Accounting Standards Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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. Downey is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 157 will have on its financial condition and results of operations. 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 SFAS 158 is not expected to have a material impact on Downey. 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 Downey. In late October, wild fires erupted in Southern California, primarily in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, causing partial or total destruction to numerous homes. While it is likely some homes we have financed have been damaged, we do not expect any significant loss, as our borrowers are required to have fire insurance. As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, none of our branch offices have been damaged.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION Certain statements under this caption may constitute forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical information or current facts. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by use of terms such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as will, would, should, could or may. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, competition in the geographic and business areas in which we conduct our operations, fluctuations in interest rates, credit quality, the outcome of ongoing audits by regulatory and taxing authorities and government regulation and factors, identified under Part II Other Information Item 1A. Risk Factors on page 56. 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. A net loss was recorded for the third quarter of 2007 of $23.4 million or $0.84 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $55.6 million or $1.99 per share in the third quarter of 2006. Our $135.8 million unfavorable change in pre-tax income/(loss) between third quarters was due primarily to:
For the first nine months of 2007, our net income totaled $52.2 million or $1.87 per share on a diluted basis, down 64.6% from the $147.5 million or $5.29 per share for the first nine months of 2006. The decline primarily reflected an increase in our provision for credit losses, lower net interest income, an unfavorable change in income from real estate held for investment, a decline in net gains from sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities, and higher operating expenses. For the third quarter, our return on average assets was a negative 0.64%, and our return on equity was a negative 6.36%. These compare to year-ago positive returns of 1.29% on average assets and 16.94% on average equity. For the first nine-month periods, our return on average assets declined from 1.13% a year ago to 0.46%, while our return on average equity declined from 15.52% to 4.82%. At September 30, 2007, assets totaled $14.418 billion, down $2.564 billion or 15.1% from a year ago and down $1.790 billion or 11.0% from year-end 2006. During the current quarter, assets declined $485 million due primarily to declines of $602 million in loans held for investment and $98 million in loans held for sale. Those declines were partially offset by an increase of $225 million in securities available for sale. Included within loans held for investment at quarter end were $8.255 billion of single family adjustable rate mortgages subject to negative amortization, down $659 million from June 30, 2007. These loans comprised 74% of the single family residential loan portfolio held for investment at quarter end, compared to 87% a year ago. The amount of negative amortization included in loan balances increased $11 million during the current quarter to $388 million or 4.70% of loans subject to negative amortization. During the current quarter, approximately 26% of loan interest income represented negative amortization, down from 29% in the second quarter of 2007 and down from 28% in the year-ago third quarter. Loan originations (including purchases) totaled $694 million in the current quarter, down $911 million or 56.8% from $1.605 billion a year ago. Loans originated for sale declined $579 million or 70.3% to $245 million, while single family residential loans originated for portfolio declined $332 million or 43.5% to $432 million. In addition to single family residential loans, $17 million of other loans were originated in the current quarter, similar to the amount a year ago. For the first nine months of 2007, loan originations totaled $3.164 billion, down 51.2% from $6.489 billion in the same period a year ago.
Deposits totaled $10.663 billion at quarter end, down $1.283 billion or 10.7% from a year ago and down $1.122 billion or 9.5% from year-end 2006. At quarter end, the number of branches totaled 172 (168 in California and four in Arizona). At quarter end, the average deposit size of our 82 traditional branches was $103 million, while the average deposit size of our 90 in-store branches was $25 million. Since the end of 2006, borrowings have declined by $735 million and at the end of the current quarter represented 14.4% of total assets. Non-performing assets increased during the quarter by $97 million or 42.5% to $324 million and represented 2.25% of total assets, compared with 0.68% at year-end 2006 and 0.39% a year ago. Virtually all of the increase in the current quarter was related to single family residential loans. At September 30, 2007, Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A. (the Bank), our primary subsidiary, exceeded all regulatory capital requirements, with capital-to-asset ratios of 10.21% for both tangible and core capital and 21.34% for risk-based capital. These capital levels are significantly above the well capitalized standards defined by the federal banking regulators of 5% for core capital and 10% for risk-based capital.
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 Downeys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. 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 $98.0 million in the third quarter of 2007, down $32.3 million or 24.8% from a year ago, reflecting a $2.747 billion or 16.4% decline in average interest-earning assets and a decline in the effective interest rate spread. The effective interest rate spread averaged 2.79% in the current quarter, down 0.31% from a year ago and down 0.28% from the second quarter of 2007. Compared to a year ago, our current quarter 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 52.4% in the current quarter from 100.8% a year ago. This decline was the result of a higher proportion of loans being repaid that were no longer subject to a prepayment fee primarily due to the increasing age of our loan portfolio. In addition, our current quarter effective interest rate spread was unfavorably impacted by a higher proportion of earning assets being comprised of investment securities and hybrid adjustable rate mortgage loans, both of which have lower yields than those of option ARM loans that comprised a larger proportion of interest-earning assets a year ago. However, these unfavorable items were essentially offset by a higher proportion of interest-earning assets being funded with interest free funds (the excess of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing deposits and borrowings). For the first nine months of 2007, net interest income totaled $334.5 million, down $54.0 million or 13.9% from the year-ago period. The decline was due to lower interest-earning assets in the current period, as the effective interest rate spread was unchanged between periods. The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of:
The table also sets forth our net interest income, interest rate spread and effective interest rate spread. The effective interest rate spread reflects the relative level of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities and equals:
The table also sets forth the difference between the average balance of interest-earning assets and the average balance of total deposits and borrowings for the quarters indicated. While we included non-accrual loans in the average interest-earning assets balance, interest from non-accrual loans has not been included in interest income unless we received payments and we believe the remaining principal balance of the loans will be recovered. We computed average balances for the quarter using the average of each months daily average balance during the periods indicated.
(b) Included amounts swept into money market deposit accounts. (c) The impact of swap contracts was included, with notional amounts totaling $430 million of receive-fixed, pay-3-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) variable interest, which contracts serve as a permitted hedge against a portion of our FHLB advances.

Changes in our net interest income are a function of changes in both rates and volumes of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following table sets forth information regarding changes in our interest income and expense for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, we have provided information on changes attributable to:
Interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability balances used in the calculations represent quarterly average balances computed using the average of each months daily average balance during the periods indicated.
During the current quarter, our provision for credit losses totaled $81.6 million, up $71.9 million from a year ago. The continued weakening and uncertainty relative to the housing market, coupled with the current quarter disruption in the secondary markets, unfavorably impacted our borrowers and the value of their loan collateral which led to the increase in the provision for credit losses. This impact has been particularly true in certain geographic areas such as the greater Sacramento and Stockton areas of Northern California and San Diego County. For the first nine months of 2007, the provision for credit losses totaled $91.7 million, compared with $26.4 million a year ago. For further information, see Allowance for Credit and Real Estate Losses on page 48. Our other income totaled $3.0 million in the current quarter, down $27.6 million or 90.1% from a year ago. Contributing to the decline between third quarters was:
For the first nine months of 2007, other income totaled $38.2 million, down $36.7 million or 48.9% from the same period a year ago. The decline reflected an unfavorable change in income from real estate and joint ventures held for investment and a decline in net gains from the sale of loans and mortgage-backed securities. Below is a further detailed discussion of the major other income categories. Our loan and deposit related fees totaled $8.9 million in the current quarter, down $0.4 million from a year ago. The decline was primarily related to a 36.5% decline in loan related fees due to lower loan originations in the current quarter, as deposit related fees were relatively unchanged. The following table presents a breakdown of loan and deposit related fees during the quarters indicated.
For the first nine months of 2007, loan and deposit related fees totaled $27.1 million, up $0.1 million from the same period of 2006. Loan related fees were down $0.7 million or 25.0%, while deposit related fees were up $0.8 million or 3.4%. The following table presents a breakdown of loan and deposit related fees during the year-to-date periods indicated.
Real Estate and Joint Ventures Held for Investment A loss of $7.9 million was recorded from our real estate and joint ventures held for investment, compared to $5.3 million of income a year ago. This unfavorable change was due to the current quarter including a $9.0 million writedown to reflect declines in the value of single family lots in which we are a joint venture partner and gains from sales being below a year ago. Our gains from sales totaled $0.7 million in the current quarter, compared to $5.7 million a year ago. The following table sets forth the key components comprising our income from real estate and joint venture operations during the quarters indicated.
For the first nine months of 2007, loss of $7.5 million was recorded from real estate and joint ventures held for investment, compared to income of $10.2 million a year ago. The unfavorable change primarily reflected writedowns in the current period and lower gains from sales. The following table sets forth the key components comprising our income from real estate and joint venture operations during the year-to-date periods indicated.
Secondary Marketing Activities We service loans for others and those activities generated a loss of $0.3 million in the current quarter, compared with a loss of $0.4 million in the year-ago quarter. At September 30, 2007, MSRs, net of a $0.3 million valuation allowance, totaled $21.8 million or 0.90% of the $2.419 billion of associated loans serviced for others, little changed from a year ago. In addition to the loans we serviced for others with capitalized MSRs, at September 30, 2007, we serviced $3.190 billion of loans on a sub-servicing basis where we receive a fixed fee per loan, with no risk associated with changing MSR values. The following table presents a breakdown of the components of our loan servicing income (loss), net for the quarters indicated.
For the first nine months of 2007, a loss of $1.5 million was recorded from loan servicing activities, compared to income of $0.3 million for the same period of 2006. The unfavorable change primarily reflected a $2.0 million increase in payoff and curtailment interest costs from the year-ago period. Payoff and curtailment interest costs represent the difference between the contractual obligation to pay interest to the investor for an entire month and the actual interest received when a loan prepays prior to the end of the month. Loan servicing income (loss), net does not reflect the interest income we derive from the use of those loan repayments as it is included in net interest income.
The following table presents a breakdown of the components of our loan servicing income, net during the year-to-date periods indicated.
For further information regarding MSRs , see Note 2 on page 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Our net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities totaled $2.5 million in the current quarter, down $12.3 million from a year ago. The current quarter included a $0.6 million loss due to the SFAS 133 impact of valuing derivatives associated with the sale of loans, compared with a SFAS 133 loss of $0.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Excluding the impact of SFAS 133, a gain equal to 0.91% per dollar of loan sold was realized in the current quarter, down from the year-ago gain of 1.68%. In addition to a lower gain per dollar of loan sold, net gains from the sale of loans and mortgage-backed securities declined due to a lower volume of loans sold. Sales totaled $337 million in the current quarter, compared to $903 million a year ago. The following table presents a breakdown of the components of our net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities for the quarters indicated.
For the first nine months of 2007, our sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities totaled $1.6 billion, down from $2.8 billion a year ago. Net gains associated with these sales totaled $20.2 million, or $14.9 million lower than the prior year amount. Excluding the impact of SFAS 133, a gain equal to 1.21% per dollar of loan sold was realized in the current year, down from the year-ago gain of 1.28%. The following table presents a breakdown of the components of our net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities during the year-to-date periods indicated.
Our operating expense totaled $62.7 million in the current quarter, up $4.0 million or 6.8% from a year ago. The increase primarily reflected an increase of $3.5 million in net operations of real estate acquired in the settlement of loans due to a higher number of foreclosed properties, including 113 single family lots acquired through foreclosure of a land loan during the quarter. In addition, general and administrative expense increased $0.5 million or 0.8%. All major categories of general and administrative expense were above a year ago except for salaries and related costs, which were $2.2 million or 5.8% below the prior period. The decline in salaries and related costs primarily reflected the reversal in the current quarter of certain management incentive plan accruals. The following table presents a breakdown of key components comprising operating expense for the quarters indicated.
For the first nine months of 2007, operating expense totaled $190.7 million, up $9.5 million or 5.3% from a year ago. The increase primarily reflected higher net operations of real estate acquired in the settlement of loans, deposit insurance premiums, and premises and equipment costs. Those increases were partially offset by a decline in salaries and related costs. The following table presents a breakdown of key components comprising operating expense during the year-to-date periods indicated.
Our effective tax rate was a benefit of 45.96% for the current quarter, compared with expense of 39.92% a year ago. The change in the effective tax rate between third quarters primarily reflected a reduction in tax expense in the year-ago quarter related to a settlement of prior-year tax returns. For the first nine months of 2007, our effective tax was 42.22% versus 42.34% a year ago.
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 further information, see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 15. The following table presents by business segment our net income for the periods indicated.
The following table presents by business segment our net income for the year-to-date periods indicated.
A net loss of $18.9 million was recorded in the current quarter related to our banking operations, compared to income of $51.4 million a year ago. The unfavorable change between third quarters primarily reflected:
The following table sets forth our banking operational results and selected financial data for the quarters indicated.
For the first nine months of 2007, net income from our banking operations totaled $56.2 million, down $84.3 million from the same period a year ago. The decrease primarily reflected increases in provision for credit losses and operating expenses, as well as declines in net interest income and gains from sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities. The following table sets forth our banking operational results for the year-to-date periods indicated.
A net loss of $4.5 million was recorded in the current quarter from our real estate investment operations, compared to income of $4.2 million a year ago. The unfavorable change primarily reflected a writedown of $9.0 million to reflect declines in the value of single family home lots in which we are a joint venture partner and net gains from sales being below the prior years level. In addition, the year-ago quarter included a $1.2 million reversal of a litigation accrual within operating expense related to a settled legal matter. The following table sets forth real estate investment operational results and selected financial data for the quarters indicated.
For the first nine months of 2007, a net loss of $3.9 million was recorded related to our real estate investment operations, compared to income of $7.1 million a year ago. The unfavorable change primarily reflected writedowns in the current period and lower gains from sales. The following table sets forth our real estate investment operational results for the year-to-date periods indicated.
Our investments in real estate and joint ventures amounted to $59 million at September 30, 2007, down from $60 million at December 31, 2006, but up from $56 million at September 30, 2006. For information on valuation allowances associated with real estate and joint venture loans, see Allowance for Credit and Real Estate Losses on page 48.
FINANCIAL CONDITION Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities Total loans and mortgage-backed securities, including those we hold for sale, declined $700 million during the current quarter to a total of $11.7 billion or 81.1% of total assets at September 30, 2007. Loans held for investment declined $602 million, as loan payoffs exceeded originations and loans held for sale declined $98 million. Our loan originations, including loans purchased, totaled $694 million in the current quarter, down $911 million or 56.8% from the $1.605 billion we originated in the year-ago third quarter and 42.6% below the $1.209 billion we originated in the second quarter of 2007. Loans originated for sale declined $579 million or 70.3% from a year ago to $245 million, while single family loans originated for portfolio declined $332 million or 43.5% to $432 million. Our prepayment speed, which measures the annualized percentage of loans repaid, for one-to-four unit residential loans held for investment decreased from 39% a year ago to 32% in the current quarter and was down from 45% in the second quarter of 2007. During the current quarter, 79% of our residential one-to-four unit originations represented refinance transactions, including new loans to refinance existing loans which we or other lenders originated. This is down from 88% in the second quarter of 2007 and 86% in the year-ago third quarter. Not included in the above originations are loans in which we modify the terms of the loans for borrowers. During the current quarter, we modified $99 million of loans through our portfolio retention efforts and $3 million of loans through troubled debt restructurings. Most of the modifications related to option ARM loans that were modified into adjustable rate mortgages where the interest rate is fixed for the first five years. 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. These loans generally result in deferrable loan origination costs exceeding loan origination fees. A prepayment fee on these loans may be required if prepaid within the first three years. Originations of adjustable rate residential one-to-four unit loans for portfolio, including loans purchased, totaled $432 million in the current quarter, down from $765 million in the year-ago quarter and $699 million in the second quarter of 2007. Of the current quarter total:
The following table sets forth loans originated, including purchases, for investment and for sale during the periods indicated.
(b) All residential one-to-four unit loans. The following table sets forth loans originated, including purchases, for investment and for sale during the year-to-date periods indicated.
The following table sets forth our investment portfolio of residential one-to-four unit adjustable rate loans by index, excluding our adjustablefixed for 3-5 year loans which are still in their initial fixed rate period, at the dates indicated.
Our adjustable rate mortgage loans generally:
Our option ARM products have 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 rate at which we earn interest 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 required minimum monthly loan payment for the first twelve months. 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. Payment options, including the required minimum monthly loan payment, are clearly defined in the loan documents signed by the borrower at funding and explained again on the borrowers monthly statement. More particularly, our current production of option ARM loans:
The maximum home loan we make, except for a limited amount related to Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") activities, is equal to 97% 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. A loan-to-value ratio is the proportion of the principal amount of the loan to the lower of the sales price or appraised value of the property securing the loan at origination. 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 contains loans previously originated with a limit on the maximum loan balance of 125% of the original loan amount. At September 30, 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 4% and those with the 110% limit represented 68%. We permit adjustable rate mortgage loans to be assumed by qualified borrowers. 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 interest-only loans, we qualify applicants at the fully-amortizing payment amount based on the interest rate applicable to the fixed rate period of the loan program. For neg-am loans, we qualify applicants using a fully-amortizing payment calculated using the maximum loan amount, which includes the maximum amount of negative amortization that may be added to the loan balance.
As set forth in the following table, $8.3 billion or 74% of our residential one-to-four unit loans held for investment were subject to negative amortization at September 30, 2007, of which $388 million or 4.7% represented the amount of negative amortization included in the loan balance subject to negative amortization. The amount of negative amortization increased by $11 million during the current quarter, as borrowers took advantage of the flexibility of this product. During the current quarter, approximately 26% of our loan interest income represented negative amortization, down from 29% in the second quarter of 2007 and 28% in the year-ago third quarter. At origination, these loans had a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 73%. In addition, $2.5 billion or 22% 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. Assuming no prepayments as well as no changes in interest rates or borrower use of negative amortization, approximately $3.4 billion or 30% of our residential one-to-four unit loans held for investment are subject to having their payment recast to a fully amortizing payment at the fully-indexed interest rate by year-end 2008. In addition, only $7 million or 0.1% of our residential one-to-four unit adjustable rate loans wherein the interest rate is fixed for the first three to five years are subject to having their payment recast during the same time period. Of the loans subject to payment recast, some portion may refinance prior to that time.
We have other credit risk elements within our real estate loans held for investment besides loans subject to negative amortization or loans with interest-only payments. At September 30, 2007, these other credit risks included:
Those risks are mitigated primarily by various minimum borrower credit requirements and maximum loan-to-value limitations. At September 30, 2007, the average loan-to-value ratio at origination of our residential one-to-four unit loan portfolio was 73%. 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. Home value declines emerged in certain markets we lend to in 2006 and are continuing. The uncertainty of future home value changes may materially impact the risk associated with our loan portfolio since 75% of these loans were originated since year-end 2004. While our historic credit experience has been good, option ARMs can present greater credit risk in sustained periods of rising interest rates, as borrowers may see their loan payments increase significantly when their payments recast to fully-amortizing payments. In addition, credit risk increases if home values decline. For example, given the recent decline in home values, our credit losses on option ARMs have increased. In September, 2006, the federal banking agencies issued final guidance on non-traditional 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. We have instituted disclosure changes and, as of July 1, 2007, our loan underwriting guidelines are in line with regulatory guidance. We continue to closely monitor trends in residential housing and lending markets and will make any other adjustments, as deemed necessary. The following table sets forth our investment portfolio of residential one-to-four unit loans by the Fair Isaac Corporation credit score model ("FICO") of the borrower at origination at the dates indicated.
The following table sets forth our investment portfolio of residential one-to-four unit loans by original loan-to-value ratio at the dates indicated. For this table, the loan-to-value ratios have been updated to reflect the current loan balance and appraisal if private mortgage insurance has been removed.
We continue to originate residential fixed interest rate mortgage loans to meet consumer demand, but we intend to sell the majority of these loans. We sold $337 million of loans and mortgage-backed securities in the current quarter, down from $570 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $903 million in the year-ago third quarter. All amounts were secured by residential one-to-four unit property, and at September 30, 2007, loans held for sale totaled $90 million. In addition to single family loans, $17 million of other loans were originated in the current quarter, up from $15 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $16 million in the year-ago quarter. At September 30, 2007, our unfunded loan application pipeline totaled $862 million. Within that pipeline, we had commitments to borrowers for short-term interest rate locks, before the reduction of expected fallout, of $330 million, of which $119 million were related to residential one-to-four unit loans being originated for sale in the secondary market. Furthermore, at September 30, 2007, we had commitments for undrawn lines of credit of $267 million and loans in process of $44 million. We believe our current sources of funds will be adequate relative to these obligations.
The following table sets forth the origination, purchase and sale activity relating to our loans and mortgage-backed securities for the quarters indicated.
