PART I
General
Flagstar Capital Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Michigan in June 1995 and remained dormant until reorganized in December 1997. The Company was formed by Flagstar Bank (the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank, to provide the Bank and its parent holding company and sole stockholder, Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (“Flagstar”), with a means of raising capital for bank regulatory purposes in a cost-effective manner.
The principal business of the Company is to acquire and hold residential mortgage loans (“Mortgage Loans”) that will generate net income for distribution to stockholders. The Company intends to acquire all its Mortgage Loans from the Bank, consisting of whole loans secured by first mortgages on single-family residential real estate properties. The residential mortgage loans consist of Adjustable Rate Mortgages (“ARMs”) and Fixed Rate Mortgages (“FRM’s”).
On February 24, 1998, the Company offered to the public and sold 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s 8.50%, noncumulative, Series A Preferred Shares, $25 par value per share, providing gross proceeds totaling $50.0 million (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), and sold to the Bank, 499,900 shares of the Company’s common stock, $1.00 par value providing proceeds totaling $65.5 million (the “Common Stock”).
On May 24, 1998, in response to the underwriters exercising their over-allotment option, the Company issued an additional 300,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Shares, to the public and 500,000 shares of Common Stock to the Bank, providing additional gross proceeds totaling $17.0 million. The Bank owns all shares of common stock. The Series A Preferred Shares are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, under the symbol “FLGSP”.
The Company used the net proceeds raised from the initial public offering of the Series A Preferred Shares and the sale of the Common Stock to the Bank to purchase from the Bank the Company’s initial portfolio of $113.5 million of Mortgage Loans (“Initial Portfolio”). The Company’s Initial Portfolio consisted of ARMs and FRM’s. Reinvestments made in Mortgage Loans have been and will continue to be made with a composition of Mortgage Loans that will allow the Company to maintain the original composition of approximately 70% ARMs and 30% FRM’s. Mortgage Loans are purchased from the Bank on a fair value basis.
In order to preserve its status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Service Code (“Code”), the Company must distribute annually at least 95% of its “REIT taxable income” (excluding capital gains) to stockholders and meet certain capital ownership and administrative tests as defined by the Code. The Company must also annually satisfy three gross income requirements. First, at least 75% of the Company’s gross income for each taxable year must be derived directly or indirectly from investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property or from certain types of temporary investments. Second, at least 95% of the Company’s gross income for each taxable year must be derived from the above described real property investments and from dividends, interest, and gain from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities and certain other types of gross income. Third, short-term gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities, and gains on the sale or other disposition of real property held for less than four years (apart from involuntary conversions and sales of foreclosure property) from the date of acquisition must represent less than 30% of the Company’s gross income for each taxable year.
The Company must also satisfy three tests relating to the nature of its assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year. First, real estate assets must represent at least 75% of the value of the Company’s total assets. Second, not more than 25% of the Company’s total assets may be represented by securities other than those in the 75% asset class. Third, of the investments included in the 25% asset class, the value of any one issuer’s securities owned by the Company may not exceed 5% of the value of the Company’s total assets and the Company may not own more than 10% of any one issuer’s outstanding voting securities.

The Company does not anticipate that it will engage in the business of originating Mortgage Loans and does not expect to compete with mortgage conduit programs, investment banking firms, savings and loan associations, banks, thrift and loan associations, finance companies, mortgage bankers or insurance companies in acquiring its Mortgage Loans. As noted above, the Company has purchased all of its Mortgage Loans from the Bank and intends on making all of its future purchases from the Bank.
The Company has entered into an Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Bank (the “Advisor”) requiring an annual payment of $250,000. The Bank provides advice to the Board of Directors and manages the operations of the Company as defined in the Advisory Agreement. The Advisory Agreement has an initial term of five years which commenced on February 24, 1998 and will automatically renew for additional five year periods, unless the Company delivers prior notice to the Advisor as defined in the Advisory Agreement.
The Company also entered into a Servicing Agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) with the Bank for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Bank services the Mortgage Loans held by the Company, in accordance with normal industry practice. The Servicing Agreement can be terminated without cause upon a thirty-day advance notice and payment of a termination fee equal to 2% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans then serviced under the Servicing Agreement. The servicing fee is 0.375% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans.
The Company operations are conducted in a manner that will not subject it to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company may, under certain circumstances, purchase the Series A Preferred Shares and other shares of its capital stock in the open market or otherwise, provided, however, that the Company will not redeem or repurchase any shares of its Common Stock for so long as any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding without the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors. The Company has no present intention of repurchasing any shares of its capital stock, and any such action would be taken only in conformity with applicable federal and state laws and the regulations and the requirements for qualifying as a REIT.
The Company has no foreign operations.
ITEM 2: | PROPERTIES |
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 5151 Corporate Drive, Troy, Michigan 48098 and its telephone number is (248) 312-2000.
ITEM 3: | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |

PART II
ITEM 5: | MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS |
The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,300,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $25 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). All of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and all of the 2,300,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been issued. The Bank owns 100% of the Company’s 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding at December 31, 2000 and, accordingly, there is no trading market for the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, the Bank intends that, as long as any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, it will maintain ownership of the outstanding Common Stock of the

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, after there have been set aside for the holders of Preferred Stock the full preferential amounts to which such holders are entitled, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to any assets remaining after the payment of all debts and liabilities.
Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer:
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation contains certain restrictions on the number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock that individual stockholders may own. For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Code, no more than 50% in number or value of its outstanding shares of capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals during the last half of a taxable year or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (the “Five or Fewer Test”). The capital stock of the Company must also be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (the “One Hundred Person Test”). The ownership by the Bank of 100% of the shares of Common Stock of the REIT will not adversely affect the Company’s REIT qualification because each stockholder of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (the sole stockholder of the Bank) counts as a separate beneficial owner for purposes of the Five or Fewer Test and the capital stock of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. is widely held. Further, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company contains restrictions on the acquisition of Preferred Stock intended to ensure compliance with the One Hundred Persons Test. Such provisions include a restriction that if any transfer of shares of capital stock of the Company would cause the Company to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, such transfer shall be null and void and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to the stock.
Common Stock
There is no established public trading market in the Common Stock. As of March 22, 2001, there were 1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by one stockholder, the Bank. The following table reflects the distributions paid or payable by the Company on the Common Stock for each quarter during the years ended December 31, 2000, December 31, 1999 and the period ended December 31, 1998.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company’s allowance for loan losses remained the same at $250,000 at December 31, 2000. Management has based the allowance on assessments of relevant factors including the types and amount of delinquent loans, historical and anticipated loss experience on such types of loans experienced by the Bank, and current and projected economic conditions. Management is of the opinion that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to meet potential losses in the portfolio. The Company’s non-performing assets consisted of two mortgage loans totaling $602,145, or 0.49% of the portfolio, at December 31, 2000. The Company, in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements, defines an asset as non-performing if it meets any of the following criteria: 1) a loan more than 90 days past due; 2) real estate acquired in a settlement of a loan; or 3) a restructured loan whose terms have been modified due to the borrower’s inability to pay as contractually specified including loans the Company has classified as impaired. Loans are generally placed into non-accrual status when they become 90 days delinquent. Gross interest income of approximately $22,000 would have been recorded in 2000 on non-accrual loans if the loans had performed in accordance with their original terms.
The Company had a $250,000 allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1999. The Company’s non-performing loans were limited to one mortgage loan, for $245,689, or 0.21% of the portfolio, which was 30 days delinquent at December 31, 1999. The Company has certain representations and warranties from the Bank, which are related to the performance of the Mortgage Loans.
The Bank, in its role as Advisor, has implemented comprehensive internal asset review systems to provide for early detection of problem assets. Although this system will not eliminate future losses due to unanticipated declines in the real estate market or economic downturns, it should provide for timely identification of any losses created from problem loans.

Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s income consists primarily of interest payments on Mortgage Loans. Currently, the Company does not use any derivative products to manage interest rate risk. If there is a decline in interest rates (as measured by the indices upon which the interest rates of the Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans are based), then the Company will experience a decrease in income available to be distributed to its shareholders. There can be no assurance that an interest rate environment in which there is a significant decline in interest rates, over an extended period of time, would not adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares.
Significant Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of customers engage in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. Concentration of credit risk indicates the relative sensitivity of the Company’s performance to both positive and negative developments affecting a particular industry. The geographic concentrations within the Mortgage Loans directly affects the overall credit risk of the Company.
The following table shows the Mortgage Loans by geographic area as of December 31, 2000:

Consequently, a high concentration of residential mortgage loans in these two states, may subject the Company to a greater risk of default in the event of adverse economic, political or business developments and natural hazards in California and Michigan that may affect the ability of residential property owners in California and Michigan to make payments of principal and interest on the underlying mortgages.
Liquidity Risk Management
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all of the Company’s financial commitments. In managing liquidity, the Company takes into account various legal limitations placed on a REIT as discussed below in REIT Qualification.
The Company’s principal liquidity needs are to maintain the current portfolio size through the acquisition of additional Mortgage Loans as Mortgage Loans currently in the portfolio mature or prepay, and to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares and Common Shares issued. The Company does not have and does not anticipate having any material capital expenditures.
To the extent that the Board of Directors determines that additional funding is required, the Company may raise such funds through additional equity offerings, debt financing or retention of cash flow (after consideration of provisions of the Code pertaining to a REIT), or a combination of these methods. The Company, however, may not, without the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors, incur debt in

The Company may also issue additional series of Preferred Stock. However, the Company may not issue additional shares of Preferred Stock senior to the Series A Preferred Shares without the consent of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at that time. The Company also may not issue additional shares of Preferred Stock on a parity with the Series A Preferred Shares without the approval of a majority of the Company’s Independent Directors.
REIT Qualification
As of December 31, 2000, the Company believed that it was in compliance with the REIT tax rules and that it will continue to qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. The Company calculates:
• | its Qualified REIT Assets, as defined in the Code, to be 100% of its total assets, as compared to the federal tax requirements that at least 75% of its total assets must be Qualified REIT assets. | |
• | that 100% of its revenues qualify for the 75% source of income test and 100% of its revenues qualify for the 95% source of income test under the REIT rules. | |
• | none of the revenues were subject to the 30% income limitation under the REIT rules. |
The Company also met all REIT requirements regarding the ownership of its common and preferred stocks.
Market Risk
The Company considers that its primary business objective is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet the obligations mandated by the Series A Preferred Shares. In managing its investments, the Company accepts a certain credit risk posture and assumes some interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk generally refers to the potential volatility in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. The Company’s risk occurs when it must replace amortized loans with current production mortgages. These replacement loans are chosen in a manner to maintain an interest rate risk posture similar to the Initial Portfolio. The Company must monitor the ratio of fixed costs (the Series A Preferred Shares’ dividends, advisory fees, and servicing costs) to the interest income potential of the Mortgage Loans. When, in management’s opinion, the coverage ratio is at risk of being depleted, the Company must look to its parent company, the Bank, for support or utilize the investment powers of the Company.
The Company will record higher levels of interest income in a rising interest rate environment and will experience declining interest income during periods of falling interest rates. This happens because the Company’s assets reprice while the Series A Preferred Shares have a fixed cost of 8.5%.
At December 31, 2000 the Company had a coverage ratio (Projected interest income divided by REIT dividends plus Advisory fees plus Servicing Fees) of 1.69 compared to 1.54 at December 31, 1999 and 1.53 at December 31, 1998.

FLAGSTAR CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1 — Nature of Business
Flagstar Capital Corporation (the “Company”), is a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Flagstar Bank, FSB (the “Bank”) a federally chartered stock savings bank, which itself is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc (“Flagstar”) a financial services holding company. The Company is a Michigan corporation, which commenced operations on February 24, 1998. The Company’s primary business consists of acquiring, holding, and managing residential mortgage loans.
On February 24, 1998, the Company offered to the public and sold 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s 8.50% noncumulative Series A, $25 liquidation value per share, preferred stock. The sale provided gross proceeds totaling $50.0 million (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The Company also sold to the Bank, 499,900 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), $1.00 par value, providing proceeds totaling $65.5 million
On May 24, 1998, in response to the underwriters exercising their over-allotment option, the Company issued an additional 300,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Shares, to the public and 500,000 shares of Common Stock to the Bank, providing additional gross proceeds of $17.0 million. The Bank holds all of the Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Shares are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, under the symbol as “FLGSP”.
The Company used the net proceeds raised from the initial public offering of the Series A Preferred Shares and the sale of the Common Stock to the Bank to purchase, from the Bank, the Company’s Initial Portfolio of $113.5 million of residential mortgage loans (“Mortgage Loans”), at their estimated fair values.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Mortgage loans:
Mortgage loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of any purchase discount and premium. The amortization of premiums or discounts is recorded as an adjustment to interest income using a method, which approximates the interest method.
Non-accrual loans are those loans on which the accrual of interest has ceased. Loans are placed on non-accrual status immediately if, in the opinion of management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and collateral is insufficient to cover principal and interest. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent of cash receipts. However, where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectibility of the loan principal, cash receipts, whether designated as principal or interest, are thereafter applied to reduce the carrying value of the loan. Loans are restored to accrual status only when interest and principal payments are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, entitled “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” (“SFAS 114”), requires that the carrying value of an impaired loan be based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value or the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Under SFAS 114, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the borrower will be unable to pay contractual interest or principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. SFAS 114 applies to all loans except smaller-balance homogeneous consumer loans, loans carried at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value, debt securities and leases. The Company will apply SFAS 114 to non-accrual mortgage loans. In addition, SFAS 114 modifies the accounting for in-substance foreclosures (“ISF”). A collateralized loan is considered an ISF and is reclassified to Assets Acquired as Loan Satisfactions only when the Company has taken physical possession of the collateral regardless of whether
16

Notes to the Financial Statements — (Continued)
formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place. The Company did not have any non-accrual loans classified as impaired.
The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, entitled “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 118”), permits a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest revenue on impaired loans. The Company recognizes interest income on impaired loans pursuant to the discussion above for non-accrual loans.
Allowance for loan losses:
An allowance for loan losses is provided when a risk of loss is inherent in the credit extension process. An allowance is a general allowance and is based on a periodic review and analysis of the Mortgage Loans. The periodic analysis will include consideration of such factors as the risk rating of individual credits, the size and diversity of the portfolio, economic conditions and market conditions, prior loss experience, results of periodic credit reviews of the portfolio, and any guarantees provided by the seller of the loans. The allowance for loan losses is increased by, provisions for losses charged against income and is reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Charge-offs are recorded when, in the judgment of management, an extension of credit is deemed uncollectible, in whole or in part. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999 the allowance for loan losses totaled $250,000.
Cash:
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of generally three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company’s cash was held in the custody of the Bank.
Offering costs:
Costs incurred in connection with the raising of capital through the sale of preferred stock were recorded as an adjustment to the additional paid in capital of the Company.
Dividends:
Preferred stock
Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are non-cumulative. The stock was issued on February 24, 1998. Quarterly dividends are payable on the last day of March, June, September and December at a rate of 8.50% per annum of the initial liquidation preference ($25.00 per share).
Common stock
Stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when, and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds available after the preferred dividends have been paid.
Earnings per common share:
Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income after preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. There are no dilutive securities, which would require a diluted earnings per share computation. The Company had weighted average shares outstanding of 1,000,000, 1,000,000 and 837,092 during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Notes to the Financial Statements — (Continued)
Income taxes:
The Company has elected for Federal income tax purposes, to be treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) and intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended. Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its income to shareholders and as long as certain asset, income and stock ownership tests are met in accordance with the Code. As the Company expects to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, no provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently issued accounting standards
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended which requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The statement is effective January 1, 2001 for the Company; however, management does not expect this pronouncement to have an impact on the Company’s financial position.
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 140”). SFAS No. 140 replaces SFAS No. 125, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 125”), issued June 1996. It revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS No. 125’s provisions without reconsideration. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001 and is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Disclosures about securitizations and collateral accepted need not be reported for periods ending on or before December 31, 2000, for which financial statements are presented for comparative purposes. SFAS No. 140 is to be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. Implementation of SFAS No. 140 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Properties collateralizing Mortgage Loans are geographically disbursed throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2000, approximately 26.0% of these properties are located in Michigan (measured by principal balance), and another 17.2% are located in the state of California. No other state contains more than 10% of the properties collateralizing these loans.
Note 4 — Related Party Transactions
The Company has entered into an Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Bank (the “Advisor”) requiring an annual payment of $250,000. The Bank provides advice to the Board of Directors and manages the operations of the Company as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement has an initial term of five years commencing on February 24, 1998 and automatically renews for additional five year periods, unless the Company delivers a notice of non-renewal to the Bank as defined in the Advisory Agreement. Advisory fees incurred for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the period ended December 31, 1998 totaled approximately $250,000, $250,000 and $213,000, respectively.
The Company also entered into a servicing agreement with the Bank for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to the servicing agreement, the Bank performs the servicing for the Mortgage Loans, in accordance with normal industry practice. The servicing agreement can be terminated without cause upon a thirty-day advance notice given to the Bank. The servicing fee is 0.375% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. The servicing fee is withheld by the Bank and netted from interest income proceeds received on the Mortgage Loans.
Note 5 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, entitled “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS 107”), requires the Company to disclose fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value, whether or not such financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet. Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price, if one exists. The calculation of estimated fair value is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and may not be reflective of future fair values.
19
Table of Contents
Notes to the Financial Statements — (Continued)
Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the scope of SFAS 107. Accordingly, the fair value disclosures required by SFAS 107 provide only a partial estimate of the fair value of the Company. Fair values among REITs are not comparable due to the wide-range of limited valuation techniques and numerous estimates, which must be made. This lack of an objective valuation standard introduces a great degree of subjectivity to these derived or estimated fair values. Therefore, readers are cautioned in using this information for purposes of evaluating the financial condition of the Company compared with other REITs.
Mortgage loans
The fair value of the Company’s residential mortgage loans is estimated by comparing values for similar residential mortgages sold in the secondary market.
At December 31, 2000 and 1999 the estimated fair value of the Mortgage Loans was $121,486,000 and $115,700,000, respectively. Both estimated fair values based on the valuation technique described in the preceding paragraph.
Assets and liabilities in which fair value approximates carrying value:
The fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities carried at cost, including cash, accrued interest receivable, loan payments in process-due from parent, due to parent, and other liabilities are considered to approximate their respective carrying value due to their short-term nature and negligible credit losses.
