NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2006

(amounts in thousands except share and per share data)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, hereinafter referred to as “generally accepted accounting principles,” for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dynex Capital, Inc. and its qualified real estate investment trust (REIT) subsidiaries and taxable REIT subsidiary (together, “Dynex” or the “Company”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting equity and control does not rest with others. The Company follows the equity method of accounting for investments with greater than 20% and less than a 50% interest in partnerships and corporate joint ventures or when it is able to influence the financial and operating policies of the investee but owns less than 50% of the voting equity. For all other investments, the cost method is applied.

The Company believes it has complied with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). To the extent the Company qualifies as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the amount of its income or gain that is distributed as dividends to shareholders.

In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The financial statements presented are unaudited. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The unaudited financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The primary estimates inherent in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are discussed below.

The Company uses estimates in establishing fair value for its financial instruments. Securities classified as available-for-sale are carried in the accompanying financial statements at estimated fair value. Estimates of fair value for securities are based on market prices provided by certain dealers, when available. When market prices are not available, fair value estimates are determined by calculating the present value of the projected cash flows of the instruments using market-based assumptions such as estimated future interest rates and estimated market spreads to applicable indices for comparable securities, and using collateral based assumptions such as prepayment rates and credit loss assumptions based on the most recent performance and anticipated performance of the underlying collateral.

The Company has credit risk on loans in its portfolio as discussed in Note 4. An allowance for loan losses has been estimated and established for currently existing losses in the loan portfolio, which are deemed probable as to their occurrence. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated and adjusted periodically by management based on the actual and estimated timing and amount of probable credit losses. Provisions made to increase or decrease the allowance for loan losses are presented as provision for losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s actual credit losses may differ from those estimates used to establish the allowance.

Certain amounts for 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in 2006.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Net income per common share is presented on both a basic and diluted per common share basis. Diluted net income per common share assumes the conversion of the convertible preferred stock into common stock, using the if-converted method, and stock appreciation rights and options to the extent that they are outstanding, using the treasury stock method, but only if these items are dilutive. The Series D preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock for each share of preferred stock. The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator for both basic and diluted net income per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

NOTE 3 - SECURITIZED FINANCE RECEIVABLES

The following table summarizes the components of securitized finance receivables at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

	September 30, 2006			December 31, 2005
Collateral:
Commercial mortgage loans	$	232,118		$	570,199
Single-family mortgage loans		125,621			161,058
		357,739			731,257
Funds held by trustees, including funds held for defeasance		7,404			6,648

Unamortized discounts and premiums, net		(455	)		(1,832	)
Loans, at amortized cost		367,118			741,187
Allowance for loan losses		(4,489	)		(19,035	)
	$	362,629		$	722,152

The finance receivables are encumbered by non-recourse securitized financing as discussed in Note 9.

During the third quarter of 2006, Dynex contributed its interests in approximately $279,003 of securitized finance receivables and the associated securitization trust and approximately $254,454 in related securitization financing debt in exchange for an interest in the newly formed joint venture (see Note 8) and recognized a loss on the capitalization of the joint venture of $1,194.

NOTE 4 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company reserves for probable estimated credit losses on securitized finance receivables and other loans in its investment portfolio. The following table summarizes the aggregate activity for the allowance for loan losses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2006			2005			2006			2005
Allowance at beginning of period	$	14,869		$	16,536		$	19,035		$	28,014
Provision for (recapture of) loan losses		67			1,622			(52	)		4,547
Charge-offs, net of recoveries		(94	)		(357	)		(4,141	)		(3,450	)
Portfolio sold/transferred		(10,353	)		-			(10,353	)		(11,310	)
Allowance at end of period	$	4,489		$	17,801		$	4,489		$	17,801

The Company identified $16,781 and $54,558 of impaired commercial mortgage loans at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The decline is primarily due to the contribution of one of the Company’s three commercial loan securitizations to a joint venture during the three months ended September 30, 2006, which resulted in the reversal of $10,353 of allowance for loan losses. In addition, performance of the underlying real estate collateralizing the impaired loans improved and six non-performing loans with a total unpaid balance of $12,177 liquidated during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $3,195 and $39,758 of commercial mortgage loans that were sixty days or more delinquent.

NOTE 5 - OTHER INVESTMENTS

The following table summarizes the Company’s other investments at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

	September 30, 2006		December 31, 2005
Delinquent property tax receivable securities	$	2,528	$	3,220
Real estate owned		541		847
	$	3,069	$	4,067

Delinquent property tax receivable securities include an unrealized gain of $213 and $55 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Real estate owned is acquired from foreclosures on delinquent property tax receivables. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company collected an aggregate of $1,482 and $2,279, respectively, on delinquent property tax receivables and securities, including net sales proceeds from the related real estate owned.

NOTE 8 - INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

On September 15, 2006, Issued Holdings Capital Corporation (“IHCC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, DBAH Capital, LLC, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank, A.G., and Dartmouth Investments, LLP formed a joint venture, Copperhead Ventures, LLC, in which the parties interest is 49.875%, 49.875% and 0.25%, respectively. In connection with the formation and initial capitalization of the joint venture, the Company contributed its interest in a commercial mortgage securitization trust issued by Commercial Capital Access One (“CCAO”), and additionally agreed under a payment agreement to make payments to the joint venture based on cash flows received by the Company from a second commercial mortgage securitization trust.

The Company’s interests in the commercial mortgage securitization trust contributed to the joint venture included three subordinate commercial mortgage backed securities and the redemption rights for all of the outstanding non-recourse securitization financing bonds issued by that trust. The contribution of these interests resulted in the derecognition of the related collateral of $279,003 and securitization financing of $254,454, the capitalization of $1,354 of accrued interest to which the Company retained the right to receive and the recognition of a loss of $1,194 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

The Company also entered into a payment agreement, which requires it to remit all of the cash flows received on its interests in a second commercial securitization to the joint venture. The Company has the right to repurchase this agreement from the joint venture at any time at its then fair value, and the Company has the right of first refusal should the joint venture decide to sell the agreement in the future. The Company has recorded an investment in and a liability to the joint venture equal to the estimated fair value of the future estimated cash flows of the trust. The difference between the gross cash flows and the recorded liability is amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method.

- 7 -

The total fair value of the consideration contributed by the Company for its interest in the joint venture was $37,281, which exceeded its proportionate share of the net assets of the joint venture at formation by $967. This difference is recorded in investment in joint venture and will be amortized over the estimated life of the joint venture as a charge to the Company’s equity in the earnings or loss of the joint venture.

The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture using the equity method, under which it recognizes its proportionate share of the joint ventures earnings or loss and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company recorded $1,661 for its equity in the net loss of the joint venture and $18 for the increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of the joint venture for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The joint venture’s loss related to the impairment of one of the joint venture’s commercial mortgage backed securities due to an increase in the estimate of the loss on the liquidation of a foreclosed loan collateralizing the security.

NOTE 9 - NON-RECOURSE SECURITIZATION FINANCING

Dynex, through limited-purpose finance subsidiaries, has issued bonds pursuant to indentures in the form of non-recourse securitization financing. Each series of securitization financing may consist of various classes of bonds, either at fixed or variable rates of interest. Payments received on securitized finance receivables and any reinvestment income thereon are used to make payments on the securitization financing (see Note 3). The obligations under the securitization financings are payable solely from the securitized finance receivables and are otherwise non-recourse to Dynex. The stated maturity date for each class of bonds is generally calculated based on the final scheduled payment date of the underlying collateral pledged. The actual maturity of each class will be directly affected by the rate of principal prepayments on the related collateral. Each series is also subject to redemption at Dynex’s option according to specific terms of the respective indentures. As a result, the actual maturity of any class of a series of securitization financing is likely to occur earlier than its stated maturity. If Dynex does not exercise its option to redeem a class or classes of bonds when it first has the right to do so, the interest rates on the bonds not redeemed will automatically increase by 0.30% to 0.83%.

Dynex may retain certain bond classes of securitization financing issued, including investment grade classes, financing these retained bonds with equity. As these limited-purpose finance subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of Dynex, such retained bonds are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, while the associated repurchase agreements outstanding, if any, are included as recourse debt.

The components of non-recourse securitization financing along with certain other information at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2006						December 31, 2005
	Bonds Outstanding			Range of Interest Rates			Bonds Outstanding			Range of Interest Rates
Fixed-rate classes	$	213,188			6.6% - 8.8	%	$	509,923			6.6% - 8.8	%
Accrued interest payable		1,480						3,438
Deferred costs		(2,972	)					(16,912	)
Unamortized net bond premium		7,354						20,129
	$	219,050					$	516,578

Range of stated maturities		2024-2027						2009-2028
Number of series		2						3

At September 30, 2006, the weighted-average coupon on the fixed rate classes was 6.9%. The average effective rate on non-recourse securitization financing, which includes the amortization of the related bond premium and deferred costs, was 7.6%, and 7.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively.

As discussed in Note 3 and Note 8, the Company contributed its interest in a securitization trust to a joint venture during the quarter resulting in the derecognition of approximately $254,454 of non-recourse securitization financing.

NOTE 10 - REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Company uses repurchase agreements, which are recourse to the Company, to finance certain of its investments. The Company had repurchase agreements of $103,253 and $133,104, at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, which are collateralized by certain of the Company’s retained interests in a prior securitization. The repurchase agreements mature monthly and have a weighted average rate of 0.10% over one-month LIBOR (5.37% at September 30, 2006). The securitization financing bonds collateralizing these repurchase agreements have a fair value of $118,570 at September 30, 2006 and pay interest at a blended rate of one-month LIBOR plus 0.10%.

Dynex has also utilized other recourse repurchase agreements to finance certain of its securities. These were all repaid during the three-months ended September 2006. There were $211 outstanding at December 31, 2005 which were collateralized by securities with a market value of $20,133.

NOTE 11 - PREFERRED STOCK

In January 2006, Dynex redeemed 1,407,198 shares of the outstanding 9.5% Series D Preferred stock with cash of $14,105.

At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the liquidation preference on the Preferred Stock was $43,218 and $57,624, respectively, and includes accrued dividends payable of $0.2375 per share or $1,003 and $1,337 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in litigation. The following discussion is the current status of the litigation.

GLS Capital, Inc. (“GLS”), a subsidiary of the Company, and the County of Allegheny, Pennsylvania (“Allegheny County”), are defendants in a lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (the “Court”). Plaintiffs allege that GLS illegally charged the taxpayers of Allegheny County certain attorney fees, costs and expenses, and interest in the collection of delinquent property tax receivables owned by GLS. On October 27, 2006, the Court certified the class action status of the litigation, which was originally filed in 1998. In its Order, the Court left open the possible decertification of the class if the fees, costs and expenses charged by GLS are in accordance with public policy considerations as well as the statute and relevant ordinance. The Company may seek to stay this action pending the outcome of other litigation before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in which GLS is not directly involved but has filed an Amicus brief in support of the defendants. Plaintiffs have not enumerated its damages in this matter, and the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will not have a material impact on its financial condition, but may have a material impact on reported results for the particular period presented.

The Company and Dynex Commercial, Inc. (“DCI”), formerly an affiliate of the Company and now known as DCI Commercial, Inc., are appellees (or “respondents”) in the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Judicial District of Texas at Dallas, related to the matter of Basic Capital Management et al (collectively, “BCM” or “the Plaintiffs”) versus Dynex Commercial, Inc. et al. Plaintiff’s appeal seeks to overturn a judgment in favor of the Company and DCI which denied recovery to Plaintiffs, and to have a judgment entered in favor of Plaintiffs based on a jury award for damages against the Company of $253, and against DCI for $2,200 or $25,600, all of which was set aside by the trial court. In the alternative, Plaintiffs are seeking a new trial. The Court of Appeals heard the oral argument on the matter on April 18, 2006 but have not yet issued a ruling on the appeal.

- 9 -

Teamsters filed an amended class action complaint. The amended complaint dropped all state common law claims but added federal securities claims related to the MERIT Series 12 securitization financing bonds. On July 15, 2005, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On February 10, 2006, the District Court dismissed the claims against Messrs. Benedetti and Potts, but did not dismiss the claims against Dynex and MERIT. On February 24, 2006, Dynex and MERIT moved for reconsideration and interlocutory appeal of the District Court's order denying the motion to dismiss Dynex and MERIT. The Company has evaluated the allegations and believes them to be without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against them.

Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of the above litigation, the Company believes the resolution of these lawsuits will not have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheet but could materially affect our consolidated results of operations in a given year.

NOTE 13 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Dynex’s shareholder approved 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”), Dynex may grant to eligible officers, directors and employees stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock awards. An aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock is available for distribution pursuant to the Employee Incentive Plan. Dynex may also grant dividend equivalent rights (“DERs”) in connection with the grant of options or SARs.

Effective January 1, 2006, Dynex adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123(R)) using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost in 2006 includes cost for options granted prior to but not vested as of December 31, 2005, and options vested in 2006. Therefore results for prior periods have not been restated.

On January 2, 2005, Dynex granted 126,297 SARs to certain of its employees and officers under the Stock Incentive Plan. The SARs vest over the next four years in equal annual installments, expire on December 31, 2011 and have an exercise price of $7.81 per share, which was the market price of the stock on the grant date.

On June 17, 2005, Dynex granted options to acquire an aggregate of 40,000 shares of common stock to the members of its Board of Directors under the Stock Incentive Plan. The options have an exercise price of $8.46 per share, which represents 110% of the closing stock price on the grant date, expire on June 17, 2010 and were fully vested when granted.

On January 12, 2006, Dynex granted 77,000 SARs to certain of its employees and officers under the Stock Incentive Plan. The SARs vest over the next four years in equal annual installments, expire on December 31, 2012 and have an exercise price of $6.61 per share, which was the market price of the stock on the grant date.

On June 16, 2006, the Company granted options to acquire an aggregate of 35,000 shares of common stock to the members of its Board of Directors under the Stock Incentive Plan, which had a fair value of approximately $64 on the grant date. The options have an exercise price of $7.43 per share, which represents 110% of the closing stock price on the grant date, expire on June 16, 2011, and were fully vested when granted.

NOTE 14 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

interests in securitized financial assets be analyzed to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or whether they are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation; (4) clarification that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (5) elimination of the prohibition on a Qualified Special Purpose Entity (“QSPE”) holding passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to beneficial interests that are or contain a derivative financial instrument. In general, these changes will reduce the operational complexity associated with bifurcating embedded derivatives, and increase the number of beneficial interests in securitization transactions, including interest-only strips and principal-only strips, required to be accounted for in accordance with FAS 133. Management does not believe that SFAS 155 will have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

On September 25, 2006, the FASB met and determined to propose a scope exception under FAS 155 for securitized interests that only contain an embedded derivative that is tied to the prepayment risk of the underlying prepayable financial assets, and for which the investor does not control the right to accelerate the settlement. If a securitized interest contains any other embedded derivative (for example, an inverse floater), then it would be subject to the bifurcation tests in FAS 133, as would securities purchased at a significant premium. The FASB plans to expose the proposed guidance for a 30-day comment period in the form of a FAS 133 Derivatives Implementation Issue in early November; re-deliberate the issue in December 2006 following the completion of the 30-day comment period, and issue their final position in early 2007.

The Company does not expect that the January 1, 2007 anticipated adoption of FAS 155 will have a material impact. However, to the extent that certain of the Company’s future investments in securitized financial assets do not meet the scope exception ultimately adopted by the FASB, the Company’s future results of operations may exhibit volatility as certain of its future investments may be marked to market value in their entirety through the income statement. Under the current accounting rules, changes in the market value of the Company’s investment securities are made through other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.

In March 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No.156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS 156). This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations and to initially measure those servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to measure each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities by either amortizing the servicing asset or liability and assessing the mortgage servicing asset or servicing liability for impairment at each reporting date. Alternatively, an entity may choose to measure the servicing asset or servicing liability at fair value at each reporting date and report changes in fair value in earnings in the period the changes occur. SFAS 156 permits, at its initial adoption, a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value. This statement is effective as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this statement may have on its financial statements.

In April 2006, the FASB issued FSP FIN 46(R)-6, “Determining the Variability to be Considered When Applying FASB Interpretation No.46(R)” (“FIN 46(R)-6”). FIN 46(R)-6 addresses the approach to determine the variability to consider when applying FIN 46(R). The variability that is considered in applying Interpretation 46(R) may affect (i) the determination as to whether an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), (ii) the determination of which interests are variable in the entity, (iii) if necessary, the calculation of expected losses and residual returns on the entity, and (iv) the determination of which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Thus, determining the variability to be considered is necessary to apply the provisions of Interpretation 46(R). FIN 46(R)-6 is required to be prospectively applied to entities in which the Company first become involved after July 1, 2006 and would be applied to all existing entities with which the Company is involved if and when a “reconsideration event” (as described in FIN 46) occurs. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 46(R)-6 on its consolidated financial statements.

- 12 -

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measures (SFAS 157). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measures. This statement is effective as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this statement may have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financials statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application is encouraged. The Company does not believe SAB 108 will have a material impact on its consolidated financials statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

The Company is a specialty finance company organized as a real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in loans and securities consisting principally of single family residential and commercial mortgage loans. The Company finances these loans and securities through a combination of non-recourse securitization financing, repurchase agreements, and equity. Dynex employs financing in order to increase the overall yield on its invested capital.

The Company has an Investment Policy which is reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Directors. The Investment Policy provides the framework for the allocation of the Company’s investment capital into various funds or strategies, each with its own specific investment objective. These strategies or funds include a liquidity fund, consisting primarily of cash and equivalents, a fixed income fund, consisting primarily of highly-quality mortgage securities, a residual investment fund, consisting of primarily credit-sensitive investments with structured leverage (securitization financing), and a strategic fund, consisting primarily of equity and equity-like investments. The Company currently manages the capital allocated to these strategies but is currently seeking joint venture or other arrangements with money managers, Wall Street firms, other mortgage REITs, hedge funds, and specialty finance companies for leveraging their expertise and resources. To date the Company has had numerous discussions with potential third parties.

During the three-months ended September 30, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of Deutsche Bank, A.G. The Company invested in the joint venture in order to leverage its internal investment capabilities and to gain access to additional investment opportunities primarily in mortgage-related investments and special situations. In connection with the initial formation of the joint venture, the Company contributed its interests in $279.0 million of securitized finance receivables (backed by commercial mortgage loans) which had been pledged to a trust and which secured $254.5 million in securitization financing. As a result of the contribution, the Company derecognized these amounts from its consolidated balance sheet, and recognized a loss of $1.2 million on the transfer to the joint venture. Also in connection with the formation of the joint venture, the Company agreed to remit cash flows that it receives on an additional $182.4 million in securitized finance receivables, which collateralizes $165.7 million in securitization financing, by recording an investment in the joint venture and a corresponding liability of $16.4 million to reflect this commitment. The $182.4 million in securitized finance receivables and the $165.7 million in securitization financing will continue to be carried in the Company’s financial statements. In return for the contributions discussed above, the Company received a 49.875% investment in the joint venture, an amount equal to that received by the Deutsche Bank affiliate. The Company’s aggregate initial investment in the joint venture was $38.3 million. The Company views this joint venture as a means of diversifying its risk in the investments contributed to the joint venture, and also as a means of partnering on equal terms with a much larger organization, which has greater resources and capital and access to more investment opportunities than the Company currently does.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based in large part upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those accounting policies that are reflective of significant judgments or uncertainties, and which may result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions, or whose application may have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The following are the Company’s critical accounting policies.

Consolidation of Subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements represent the Company’s accounts after the elimination of inter-company transactions. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting equity and control of the entity does not rest with others. The Company follows the equity method of accounting for investments with greater than 20% and less than a 50% interest in partnerships and corporate joint ventures or when it is able to influence the financial and operating policies of the investee but owns less than 50% of the voting equity. For all other investments, the cost method is applied.

Impairments. The Company evaluates all securities in its investment portfolio for other-than-temporary impairments. A security is generally defined to be other-than-temporarily impaired if, for a maximum period of three consecutive quarters, the carrying value of such security exceeds its estimated fair value and we estimate, based on projected future cash flows or other fair value determinants, that the fair value will remain below the carrying value for the foreseeable future. If an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to exist, the Company records an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value of the security down to its estimated fair value. In certain instances, as a result of the other-than-temporary impairment analysis, the recognition or accrual of interest will be discontinued and the security will be placed on non-accrual status.

Dynex considers an investment to be impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its recorded cost basis. Impairments of other investments generally are considered to be other-than-temporary when the fair value remains below the carrying value for three consecutive quarters. If the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in order to adjust the carrying value of the investment to its estimated value.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company has credit risk on loans pledged in securitization financing transactions and classified as securitized finance receivables in its investment portfolio. An allowance for loan losses has been estimated and established for currently existing probable losses. Factors considered in establishing an allowance include current loan delinquencies, historical cure rates of delinquent loans, and historical and anticipated loss severity of the loans as they are liquidated. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated and adjusted periodically by management based on the actual and estimated timing and amount of probable credit losses, using the above factors, as well as industry loss experience. Where loans are considered homogeneous, the allowance for loan losses is established and evaluated on a pool basis. Otherwise, the allowance for loan losses is established and evaluated on a loan-specific basis. Provisions made to increase the allowance are a current period expense to operations.

Generally, single-family loans are considered impaired when they are 60-days past due. Commercial mortgage loans are evaluated on an individual basis for impairment. Generally, given its collateral dependent nature, a commercial loan with a debt service coverage ratio of less than one is considered impaired. However, based on information specific to a commercial loan, commercial loans with a debt service coverage ratio less than one may not be considered impaired. Conversely, commercial loans with a debt service coverage ratio greater than one may be considered impaired. Certain of the commercial mortgage loans are covered by loan guarantees that limit the Company’s exposure on these loans. The level of allowance for loan losses required for these loans is reduced by the amount of applicable loan guarantees. The Company’s actual credit losses may differ from the estimates used to establish the allowance.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Below is a discussion of the Company's financial condition.

(amounts in thousands except per share data)	September 30, 2006		December 31, 2005

Securitized finance receivables, net	$	362,629	$	722,152

Securitized finance receivables. Securitized finance receivables decreased to $362.6 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $722.2 million at December 31, 2005. This decrease of $359.5 million is primarily the result of the contribution of receivables backed by commercial mortgage loans with an amortized cost basis of $279.0 million in connection with the establishment of an investment in joint venture discussed further below. Also contributing to the decrease in securitized finance receivables was $62.3 million of unscheduled and $15.5 million of scheduled principal payments on the loan collateral and $2.7 million of other items principally related to the liquidation of certain foreclosed securitized commercial mortgage loans.

Securities. Securities decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 by $9.9 million, to $15.0 million at September 30, 2006 from $24.9 million at December 31, 2005 due primarily to principal payments of $26.1 million received on securities during the period. This decrease was partially offset by $17.2 million of security purchases during the period. The Company sold $1.5 million of equity securities during the period for a gain of $0.1 million and had a net increase of $0.2 million in the net unrealized gain on securities.

Other investments. Other investments at September 30, 2006 consist of a security collateralized by delinquent property tax receivables. Other investments decreased from $4.1 million at December 31, 2005 to $3.1 million at September 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily the result of collections on the tax liens and proceeds from the sale of real estate owned properties which totaled of $1.7 million during the quarter. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the unrealized gain of $0.2 million on the security and $0.5 million of capitalized costs.

Other motgage loans. Other mortgage loans decreased by $1.0 million from $5.3 million at December 31, 2005 to $4.3 million at September 30, 2006 due primarily to scheduled and unscheduled pay-downs during the period.

Investment in joint venture. The Company acquired a 49.875% interest in a joint venture during the quarter in exchange for certain its interests in one commercial mortgage securitization trust and the execution of an obligation under payment agreement discussed further below. The initial value ascribed to the investment in joint venture was $38.3 million. The investment in joint venture was reduced for the Company’s proportionate share of the joint venture’s losses for the quarter, which totaled $1.7 million and related to the impairment of one of the joint venture’s commercial mortgage backed securities due to an increase in the estimate of the loss on the liquidation of a foreclosed loan collateralizing the security.

- 15 -

Non-recourse securitization financing. Non-recourse securitization financing decreased $297.5 million, from $516.6 million at December 31, 2005 to $219.1 million at September 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily a result of the derecognition of $253.1 million of securitization financing, which were collateralized by the commercial mortgage loans contributed to a joint venture. Also contributing to this decrease were principal payments of $41.6 million on the non-recourse securitization financing made from the collections on the related securitized finance receivables and premium amortization of approximately $3.1 million.

Repurchase Agreements. The balance of repurchase agreements declined to $103.3 million at September 30, 2006 from $133.3 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was due to net repayments of $30.0 during the period as a result of principal received on the underlying investments being financed.

Obligation under payment agreement. The increase in the balance is due to the Company entering an agreement to remit to a joint venture all of the cash flows received on its interests in a commercial securitization, CCAO Series 2, as part of the intial capitalization of the joint venture.

Shareholders’ equity. Shareholders' equity decreased to $135.0 million at September 30, 2006 from $149.3 million at December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily the result of the redemption of 1,407,198 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the repurchase of 32,560 shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which contributed to a $14.3 million decrease in equity, and the preferred stock dividends of $3.0 million. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $2.6 million for the period, a $0.3 million increase in net unrealized gains on securities and a $0.1 increase in equity for the fair value of the stock options granted to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors during the second quarter of 2006.

Supplemental Discussion of Investments

As further discussed below, the Company manages its investment portfolio on a net investment basis, consisting of the amortized cost basis or fair value of the investment less the associated external financing of the investment, if any. Below is the net basis of the Company's investments as of September 30, 2006. Excluded from this table are cash and cash equivalents, other assets, and other liabilities.

As the cash flows received on the Company's investments are generally subordinate to the obligations under the associated financing of the investment, the investment portfolio is evaluated and managed based on the net capital invested in that particular investment. Net capital invested is generally defined as the cost basis of the investment net of the associated financing for that investment. For securitized finance receivables, because the securitization financing is recourse only to the finance receivables pledged and is, therefore, not a general obligation of the Company, the risk on the investment in securitized finance receivables from an economic point of view is limited to the Company's net retained investment in the securitization trust.

- 16 -

Below is the net basis of Dynex's investments as of September 30, 2006. The fair value of the net investment in securitized finance receivables is based on the present value of the projected cash flow from the collateral, adjusted for the impact and assumed level of future prepayments and credit losses, less the projected principal and interest due on the securitization financing bonds owned by third parties. The fair value of securities is based on quotes obtained from third-party dealers, or from management estimates. The fair value of investment in joint venture is based on the fair value of the assets held by the joint venture. The fair value of other investments and loans is based on the projected cash flow from the collateral discounted at estimated market rates.

Fair values are based on dealer quotes or bids from independent third parties, and where dealer quotes are not available fair values are calculated as the net present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at 16%. Expected future cash flows were based on the forward LIBOR curve as of September 30, 2006, and incorporate the resetting of the interest rates on the adjustable rate assets to a level consistent with projected prevailing rates. Expected cash flows were also based on estimated prepayment speeds and credit losses on the underlying loans set forth in the table below. Increases or decreases in interest rates and index levels from those used would impact the calculation of fair value, as would differences in actual prepayment speeds and credit losses versus the assumptions set forth above. The fair value of the investment in joint venture represents the Company’s proportionate share of the net assets of the joint venture, which are recorded at estimated fair value on the joint venture’s books.

⁽²⁾	Includes loans pledged to a securitization trust.

⁽³⁾	Assumed constant prepayment rates (CPR) speeds generally are governed by underlying pool characteristics, prepayment lock-out provisions, and yield maintenance provisions. Loans currently delinquent in excess of 30 days are assumed liquidated in month six.

⁽⁴⁾	Cash flow termination dates are modeled based on the repayment dates of the loans or optional redemption dates of the underlying securitization financing bonds.

⁽⁵⁾	In addition to the constant default rate of 0.8%, loans which are currently greater than 30 days delinquent are assumed to take a 35% loss within six months.

The following table presents the Net Basis of Investments of $82,901at September 30, 2006 included in the “Estimated Fair Value of Net Investment” table above by their rating classification. Investments in the unrated and non-investment grade classification primarily include other loans that have not been given a rating but that are substantially seasoned and performing loans. Securitization over-collateralization generally includes the excess of the securitized finance receivable collateral pledged over the bonds issued by the securitization trust.

Supplemental Discussion of Common Equity Book Value

The Company believes that its shareholders, as well as shareholders of other companies in the mortgage REIT industry, consider book value per common share an important measure. The Company’s reported book value per common share is based on the carrying value of the Company’s assets and liabilities as recorded in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A substantial portion of the Company’s assets are carried on a historical, or amortized, cost basis and not at estimated fair value. The table included in the “Supplemental Discussion of Investments”section above compares the amortized cost base of the Company’s investments to their estimated fair value based on assumptions set forth in the table.

The Company believes that book value per common share, adjusted to reflect the carrying value of investments at their fair value (hereinafter referred to as ‘Adjusted Common Equity Book Value), would also be a meaningful measure for its shareholders, representing effectively the estimated going-concern value for the Company. The following table calculates Adjusted Common Equity Book Value and Adjusted Common Equity Book Value per Share using the estimated fair value information contained in the “Estimated Fair Value of Net Investment” table above. The amounts set forth in the table in the Adjusted Common Equity Book Value column include all assets and liabilities of the Company at their estimated fair values, and exclude any value attributable to the Company’s tax net operating loss carryforwards and other matters that might impact the value of the Company.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in net loss and net loss per common share during the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 is primarily the result of a decrease of $1.6 million in provision for loan losses and an increase in other income (expense) of $1.5 million. These increases were partially offset by the recognition by Dynex of its proportionate share of the losses, $1.7 million, incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2006 incurred as a result of its participation in a joint venture with Deutsche Bank. Provisions for loan losses in the commercial loan portfolio decreased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005 by $1.2 million due to the contribution of a securitization backed by commercial loans to the joint venture. The $0.4 million decrease in provisions for loan losses in the single family loan portfolio is the consequence of decreases in delinquencies of non-pool insured loans. The $1.5 million increase in other income (expense) reflects prepayment penalty income on prepaid commercial loans recorded in the current quarter, funds relating to a securitization issued by the Company that were released by the trustee during the current quarter, the recognition in 2005 of an escrow claim relating to potentially uncollectible property tax receivables sold to a third party in 2005 and the recognition in 2005 of a third party claim on prepayment penalties on voluntarily prepaid commercial loans.

Net interest income increased from $2.6 million to $3.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from the same period in 2005 primarily as a result of the stabilization of one-month LIBOR during the 2006 period. Interest expense decreased more quickly than interest income as interest rates on securitized finance receivables continued to reset higher while interest rates on variable-rate securitization financing leveled off during the current period, which resulted in an increase in net interest income of $0.6 million. Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased to $3.1 million from $1.0 million for the same period for 2005. Provision for loan losses of $0.1 million were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2005 as explained above.

The loss on capitalization of the joint venture was $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The Company’s interests in one of the commercial mortgage securitization trusts were contributed to the joint venture resulting in the derecognition of the related collateral of $279.0 million and securitization financing of $254.5 million and the capitalization of $1.4 million of accrued interest which the Company retained the right to receive.

General and administrative expense decreased to $1.0 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.6 million for the same period in 2005. This decrease was primarily the result of the reductions in expenses associated with the Company's tax lien servicing operations and a decrease in accounting expenses.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in net (loss) income and net (loss) income per common share during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 is primarily the result of a gain of $8.2 million on the sale of securitized finance receivables and a gain of $1.4 million on the sale of four healthcare mezzanine loans that were realized during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease in net interest income of $1.8 million, and a $1.7 million equity in loss of joint venture. These decreases in net income were partially offset by a reduction in impairment charges to zero versus a $1.7 million impairment charge recognized in 2005 on the Company’s investment in delinquent property tax receivables, a $4.6 million decrease in provision for loan losses and $1.0 million decrease in general and administrative expenses. The $4.6 million decrease in loan loss reserves resulted primarily from the transfer of commercial mortgage loans to a joint venture during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. General and administrative expense decreased due to the reductions in expenses associated with the Company's tax lien servicing operations and a decrease in accounting expenses.

Net interest income decreased from $9.8 million to $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the same period in 2005 essentially as a result of the sale in the second quarter of 2005 of two securitizations backed by manufactured housing loans. This sale resulted in the derecognition of $367.2 million in interest-earning assets and $363.9 million in interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased to $8.0 million from $5.3 million for the same period for 2005. Provision for loan losses decreased from an expense of $4.5 million for the nine months ended 2005 to a benefit of $0.1 million for the same period in 2006 due primarily to improvements in the performance of the commercial loan portfolio and decreased delinquencies in the Company's non-pool insured securitized single family loans.

General and administrative expense decreased to $3.5 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 from $4.5 million for the same period in 2005. This decrease was primarily the result of the reductions in expenses associated with the Company's tax lien servicing operations and a decline in litigation related expenses. The following table summarizes the average balances of interest-earning assets and their average effective yields, along with the average interest-bearing liabilities and the related average effective interest rates, for each of the periods presented. Assets that are on non-accrual status are excluded from the table below for each period presented.

⁽¹⁾ Average balances exclude adjustments made in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” to record available-for-sale securities at fair value.

⁽²⁾ Average balances exclude funds held by trustees of $7,419 and $2,479 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $7,170 and $988 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

⁽³⁾ Effective rates are calculated excluding non-interest related securitization financing expenses. If included, the effective rate on interest-bearing liabilities would be 7.82% and 7.03% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 7.77% and 6.76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾ Net yield on average interest-earning assets reflects net interest income excluding non-interest related securitization financing expenses divided by average interest earning assets for the period, annualized.

The net interest spread increased 41 basis points, to 0.64% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 0.23% for the same period in 2005. The net yield on average interest earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased to 2.16% from 1.31% for the same period in 2005. The increase in the Company's net interest spread can be attributed primarily to an increase of 74 basis points in the effective rate on interest-bearing liabilities and an increase of 116 basis points in the effective rate on interest-earning assets, which are both principally a result of the sale of approximately $367.2 million of securitized finance receivables and the extinguishment of approximately $363.9 million of the related securitization financing bonds during the third quarter 2005 and the third quarter 2006 contribution of approximately $279.0 million of securitized finance receivables to a joint venture and the derecognition of approximately $254.5 million of the related securitization financing bonds. In addition, approximately $30 million of repurchase agreement financing outstanding at year-end 2005 was repaid in second and third quarters of 2006. These asset sales and repurchase agreement repayments resulted in the yields of remaining assets, which are unencumbered by financing expense, assuming a larger proportion of the net interest spread.

- 22 -

The net interest spread decreased 25 basis points, to 0.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 0.40% for the same period in 2005. The net yield on average interest earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased relative to the same period in 2005, to 1.58% from 1.29%. The decline in the Company's net interest spread can be attributed primarily to an increase of 102 basis points in the effective rate on interest-bearing liabilities compared to an increase of 77 basis points in the effective rate on interest-earning assets. Amounts for 2005 in the above table include income recognized through May 2005 on the Company’s delinquent property tax receivables portfolio, which were placed on non-accrual at the end of May 2005. There were also effective interest rate adjustments recorded in 2005 resulting in a decrease of $1.3 million from 2005. The sale of approximately $367.2 million of securitized finance receivables and the extinguishment of approximately $363.9 million of the related securitization financing bonds during the third quarter of 2005, the third quarter of 2006 transfer of approximately $279.0 million of securitized finance receivables and the extinguishment of approximately $254.5 million of the related securitization financing bonds and the repayment in the second and third quarters 2006 of approximately $30 million of repurchase agreement financing outstanding at year-end 2005 resulted in a lower overall net interest spread.

The following table summarizes the amount of change in interest income and interest expense due to changes in interest rates versus changes in volume:

Note: The change in interest income and interest expense due to changes in both volume and rate, which cannot be segregated, has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate. This table excludes non-interest related dividends on equity securities, securitization financing expense, other interest expense and provision for credit losses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period for 2006, average interest-earning assets declined $390 million, or approximately 35%. Approximately 44% of that decline resulted from the derecognition in 2005 of two securitization trusts collateralized by manufactured housing loans. Another large portion of such reduction relates to paydowns on the Company's adjustable-rate single-family mortgages.

Credit Exposures. The predominate securitization structure used by Dynex is non-recourse securitization financing, whereby loans and securities are pledged to a trust, and the trust issues bonds pursuant to an indenture. Generally these securitization structures use over-collateralization, subordination, third-party guarantees, reserve funds, bond insurance, mortgage pool insurance or any combination of the foregoing as a form of credit enhancement. From an economic point of view, the Company generally has retained a limited portion of the direct credit risk in these securities. In many instances, the Company retained the “first-loss” credit risk on pools of loans that it has securitized.

The following table summarizes the aggregate principal amount of certain or our investments; the direct credit exposure the Company has retained (represented by the amount of over-collateralization pledged and subordinated securities the Company owns), net of the credit reserves, premiums and discounts the Company maintains for such exposure; and the actual credit losses incurred for each quarter presented. Credit Exposure, Net of Credit Reserves is based on the credit risk retained by the Company for the loans and securities pledged to the securitization trust, from an economic point of view. The table includes any subordinated security retained by the Company if such subordinated security is rated below investment grade by one or more of the nationally recognized credit rating agencies. Credit Exposure, Net of Credit Reserves decreased from the third quarter 2005 by $7.8 million and from the fourth quarter of 2005 by $9.5 million as the result of the contribution of a securitization backed by commercial loans to a joint venture.

The table excludes other forms of credit enhancement from which the Company benefits, and based upon the performance of the underlying loans, may provide additional protection against losses. These additional protections include loss reimbursement guarantees with a remaining balance of $17.0 million and a remaining deductible aggregating $0.6 million on $16.3 million of securitized single-family mortgage loans which are subject to such reimbursement agreements; guarantees aggregating $6.9 million on $74.1 million of securitized commercial mortgage loans, whereby losses on such loans would

need to exceed the respective guarantee amount before the Company would incur credit losses; and $36.5 million of securitized single-family mortgage loans which are subject to various mortgage pool insurance policies whereby all expected losses would be recoverable.

The following tables summarize single-family mortgage loan and commercial mortgage loan delinquencies as a percentage of the outstanding securitized finance receivables balance for those securities in which we have retained a portion of the direct credit risk. We monitor and evaluate our exposure to credit losses and have established reserves based upon anticipated losses, general economic conditions and trends in the investment portfolio. At September 30, 2006, management believes the level of credit reserves is appropriate for currently existing losses within these loan pools.

Single family mortgage loan delinquencies as a percentage of the outstanding loan balance increased by approximately 1.67% to 8.67% at September 30, 2006 from 7.00% at September 30, 2005 and increased by 1.26% from 7.41% at December 31, 2005 due mostly to increased delinquencies in pool insured loans as the unpaid principal balance of the portfolio declines. The following table provides the percentage of delinquent single family loans.

2006, Quarter 3	4.56%	1.28%	2.83%	8.67%

For commercial mortgage loans, the delinquencies as a percentage of the outstanding securitized finance receivables balance have decreased to 1.33% at September 30, 2006 from 6.90% at December 31, 2005, and from 8.04% at September 30, 2005, primarily due to the previously discussed contribution of a commercial mortgage loan securitization trust in connection with the capitalization of a joint venture. Also, a commercial loan with an unpaid principal balance of $7.8 million which was liquidated with a $6.8 million loss during the second quarter 2006.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. Key provisions of SFAS 155 include: (1) a broad fair value measurement option for certain hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation; (2) clarification that only the simplest separations of interest payments and principal payments qualify for the exception afforded to interest-only strips and principal-only strips from derivative accounting under paragraph 14 of FAS 133 (thereby narrowing such exception); (3) a requirement that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets be analyzed to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or whether they are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation; (4) clarification that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (5) elimination of the prohibition on a QSPE holding passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to beneficial interests that are or contain a derivative financial instrument. In general, these changes will reduce the operational complexity associated with bifurcating embedded derivatives, and increase the number of beneficial interests in securitization transactions, including interest-only strips and principal-only strips, required to be accounted for in accordance with FAS 133. Management does not believe that SFAS 155 will have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

In March 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No.156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS 156). This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations and to initially measure those servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to measure each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities by either amortizing the servicing asset or liability and assessing the mortgage servicing asset or servicing liability for impairment at each reporting date. Alternatively, an entity may choose to measure the servicing asset or servicing liability at fair value at each reporting date and report changes in fair value in earnings in the period the changes occur. SFAS 156 permits, at its initial adoption, a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value. This statement is effective as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this statement may have on its financial statements.

primary beneficiary of the VIE. Thus, determining the variability to be considered is necessary to apply the provisions of Interpretation 46(R). FIN 46(R)-6 is required to be prospectively applied to entities in which the Company first become involved after July 1, 2006 and would be applied to all existing entities with which the Company is involved if and when a “reconsideration event” (as described in FIN 46) occurs. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 46(R)-6 on its consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically financed its operations from a variety of sources. The Company’s primary source of funding its operations today is the cash flow generated from the investment portfolio, which includes net interest income and principal payments and prepayments on these investments. From the cash flow on its investment portfolio, the Company funds its operating overhead costs, including the servicing of its delinquent property tax receivables, pays the dividend on the Series D Preferred Stock and services any remaining recourse debt. The Company’s investment portfolio continues to provide positive cash flow, which can be utilized for reinvestment purposes.

Cash flow from the investment portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $5.6 million and $28.2 million, respectively, which includes approximately $2.1 million and $16.7 million, respectively, in principal payments on securities, including $400 thousand and $1.5 million, respectively, on the property tax receivable security. Such cash flow is after payment of principal and interest on the associated non-recourse securitization financing outstanding.

Excluding any cash flow derived from the sale or re-securitization of assets, and assuming that short-term interest rates remain stable, the Company anticipates that the cash flow from its investment portfolio will sequentially decline in 2006 as the investment portfolio continues to pay down, absent meaningful reinvestment of capital. The Company anticipates, however, that it will have sufficient cash flow from the investment portfolio to meet all of its current obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.

During the second quarter 2006, the Company utilized available capital to purchase $0.6 million in equity securities of other publicly-traded mortgage REITs, and additional short-term investments. At September 30, 2006, the Company had unused capacity on uncommitted repurchase agreement lines of approximately $12.3 million and cash and equivalents of $52.3 million, and other short-term instruments of $46.9 million. Cash flow from the investment portfolio is subject to fluctuation due to changes in interest rates, repayment rates and default rates and related losses.

The Company intends to maintain high levels of liquidity for the foreseeable future given the lack of compelling reinvestment opportunities as a result of the low level of interest rates, the flat yield curve, and the historically tight spreads on fixed income instruments. The Board of Directors of Dynex also approved the redemption of up to one million shares of common stock of Dynex, and through September 30, 2006, the Company had purchased 32,560 such shares at an average effective price of $6.75. The repurchase of shares of common stock is likely to continue if alternative uses of the capital are not available and if such repurchases are accretive to book value per common share.

- 27 -

The Company currently utilizes a combination of equity, securitization financing and repurchase agreement financing to finance its investment portfolio. Securitization financing is recourse only to the assets pledged as collateral to support the financing and is not otherwise recourse to the Company. The maturity of each class of securitization financing is directly affected by the rate of principal prepayments on the related collateral and is not subject to margin call risk. Each series is also subject to redemption according to specific terms of the respective indentures, generally on the earlier of a specified date or when the remaining balance of the bonds equals 35% or less of the original principal balance of the bonds. At September 30, 2006, the Company had $219.1 million of non-recourse securitization financing outstanding, all of which carries a fixed rate of interest.

Repurchase agreement financing is recourse to the assets pledged, and to the Company. Repurchase agreement financing is not committed financing to the Company, and it generally renews or rolls every 30-days. The amounts advanced to the Company by the repurchase agreement counterparty are determined largely based on the fair value of the asset pledged to the counterparty.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain written statements in this Form 10-Q made by the Company that are not historical fact constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this Item as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Report addressing the results of operations, our operating performance, events, or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including statements relating to investment strategies, net interest income growth, earnings or earnings per share growth, and market share, as well as statements expressing optimism or pessimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based upon management’s views and assumptions as of the date of this report, regarding future events and operating performance and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. Such forward-looking statements may involve factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The Company cautions the public not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which may be based on assumptions and anticipated events that do not materialize.

Factors that may cause actual results to differ from historical results or from any results expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following:

Reinvestment. Asset yields today are generally lower than those assets sold or repaid, due to lower overall interest rates and more competition for these assets. The Company has generally been unable to find investments which have acceptable risk adjusted yields. As a result, the Company’s net interest income has generally been declining, and may continue to decline in the future, resulting in lower earnings per share over time. In order to maintain our investment portfolio size and our earnings, the Company needs to reinvest a portion of the cash flows it receives into new interest earning assets. If the Company is unable to find suitable reinvestment opportunities, the net interest income on our investment portfolio and investment cash flows could be negatively impacted.

Economic Conditions. The Company is affected by general economic conditions. An increase in the risk of defaults and credit risk resulting from an economic slowdown or recession or other factors could result in a decrease in the value of our investments and the over-collateralization associated with our securitization transactions. As a result of our being heavily invested in short-term high quality investments, however, a worsening economy may potentially benefit the Company by creating opportunities for it to invest in assets that become distressed as a result of these worsening conditions. These changes could have an effect on our financial performance and the performance on our securitized loan pools.

Investment Portfolio Cash Flow. Cash flows from the investment portfolio fund our operations, the preferred stock dividend, and repayments of outstanding debt, and are subject to fluctuation due to changes in interest rates, repayment rates and default rates and related losses, particularly given the high degree of internal structural leverage inherent in our securitized investments. Cash flows from the investment portfolio are likely to sequentially decline until the Company meaningfully begins to reinvest its capital. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to find suitable investment alternatives for its capital, nor can there be assurances that the Company will meet its reinvestment and return hurdles.

- 28 -

Defaults. Defaults by borrowers on loans it securitized may have an adverse impact on our financial performance, if actual credit losses differ materially from our estimates or exceed reserves for losses recorded in the financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is calculated on the basis of historical experience and management’s best estimates. Actual default rates or loss severity may differ from our estimate as a result of economic conditions. Actual defaults on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase during a rising interest rate environment. In addition, commercial mortgage loans are generally large dollar balance loans, and a significant loan default may have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial results. Such impact may include higher provisions for loan losses and reduced interest income if the loan is placed on non-accrual.

Investment in Joint Venture. The Company has an investment in a joint venture with an affiliate of Deutsche Bank, which currently owns subordinate commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and cash. Defaults by borrowers on loans included in the CMBS in excess of those estimated may cause write-downs in the Company’s recorded investment in the joint venture. In addition, there can be no assurances that the joint venture will be able to find suitable investment alternatives for its capital, nor can there be assurances that the Company will meet its reinvestment and return hurdles.

Interest Rate Fluctuations. Our income and cash flow depends on our ability to earn greater interest on our investments than the interest cost to finance these investments. Interest rates in the markets served by the Company generally rise or fall with interest rates as a whole. Approximately $239 million of our investments, including loans and securities currently pledged as securitized finance receivables and securities, are fixed-rate and approximately $110 million of our investments are variable rate. The Company currently finances these fixed-rate assets through $219 million of fixed rate securitization financing and $103 million of variable rate repurchase agreements. The net interest spread for these investments could decrease during a period of rapidly rising short-term interest rates, since the investments generally have interest rates which reset on a delayed basis and have periodic interest rate caps; the related borrowing has no delayed resets or such interest rate caps.

Third-party Servicers. Our loans and loans underlying securities are serviced by third-party service providers. As with any external service provider, the Company is subject to the risks associated with inadequate or untimely services. Many borrowers require notices and reminders to keep their loans current and to prevent delinquencies and foreclosures. A substantial increase in our delinquency rate that results from improper servicing or loan performance in general could harm our ability to securitize our real estate loans in the future and may have an adverse effect on our earnings.

Prepayments. Prepayments by borrowers on loans securitized by the Company may have an adverse impact on our financial performance. Prepayments are expected to increase during a declining interest rate or flat yield curve environment. Our exposure to rapid prepayments is primarily (i) the faster amortization of premium on the investments and, to the extent applicable, amortization of bond discount, and (ii) the replacement of investments in our portfolio with lower yielding investments.

Competition. The financial services industry is a highly competitive market in which the Company competes with a number of institutions with greater financial resources. In purchasing portfolio investments and in issuing securities, the Company competes with other mortgage REITs, investment banking firms, savings and loan associations, commercial banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, federal agencies and other entities, many of which have greater financial resources and a lower cost of capital than we do. Increased competition in the market and our competitors greater financial resources have adversely affected the Company, and may continue to do so. Competition may also continue to keep pressure on spreads resulting in the Company being unable to reinvest its capital at a satisfactory risk-adjusted basis.

Regulatory Changes. Our businesses as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were not subject to any material federal or state regulation or licensing requirements. However, changes in existing laws and regulations or in the interpretation thereof, or the introduction of new laws and regulations, could adversely affect us and the performance of our securitized loan pools or its ability to collect on its delinquent property tax receivables. The Company is a REIT and is required to meet certain tests in order to maintain its REIT status as described in the discussion of “Federal Income Tax Considerations” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. If the Company should fail to maintain its REIT status, it would not be able to hold certain investments and would be subject to income taxes.

- 29 -

Other. The following risks, which are discussed in more detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2005, could also affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows:

·	The Company may be unable to invest in new assets with attractive yields, and yields on new assets in which the Company does invest may not generate attractive yields, resulting in a decline in its earnings per share over time.

·	The Company’s ownership of certain subordinate interests in securitization trusts subjects it to credit risk on the underlying loans, and the Company provides for loss reserves on these loans as required under GAAP.

·	Certain investments employ internal structural leverage as a result of the securitization process, and are in the most subordinate position in the capital structure, which magnifies the potential impact of adverse events on the Company’s cash flows and reported results.

·	The Company’s efforts to manage credit risk may not be successful in limiting delinquencies and defaults in underlying loans or losses on its investments.

·	Prepayments of principal on its investments, and the timing of prepayments, may impact the Company’s reported earnings and our cash flows.

·	The Company finances a portion of its investment portfolio with short-term recourse repurchase agreements which subjects it to margin calls if the assets pledged subsequently decline in value.

·	The Company may be subject to the risks associated with inadequate or untimely services from third-party service providers, which may harm its results of operations.

·	Interest rate fluctuations can have various negative effects on the Company, and could lead to reduced earnings and/or increased earnings volatility.

·	The Company’s reported income depends on accounting conventions and assumptions about the future that may change.

·	Failure to qualify as a REIT would adversely affect the Company’s dividend distributions and could adversely affect the value of its securities.

·	Maintaining REIT status may reduce our flexibility to manage our operations.

·	The Company may fail to properly conduct its operations so as to avoid falling under the definition of an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940.

·	The Company is dependent on certain key personnel.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may result from the potential change in the value of a financial instrument due to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates and in equity and commodity prices. Market risk is inherent to both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and accordingly, the scope of our market risk management extends beyond derivatives to include all market risk sensitive financial instruments. As a financial services company, net interest margin comprises the primary component of the Company’s earnings and cash flows. The Company is subject to risk resulting from interest rate fluctuations to the extent that there is a gap between the amount of the Company’s interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid, mature or re-price within specified periods.

The Company monitors the aggregate cash flow, projected net yield and estimated market value of its investment portfolio under various interest rate and prepayment assumptions. While certain investments may perform poorly in an increasing or decreasing interest rate environment, other investments may perform well, and others may not be impacted at all.

- 30 -

The Company focuses on the sensitivity of its investment portfolio cash flow, and measures such sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates are defined as instantaneous, parallel, and sustained interest rate movements in 100 basis point increments. The Company estimates its interest income cash flow for the next twenty-four months assuming interest rates over such time period follow the forward LIBOR curve (based on 90-day Eurodollar futures contracts) as of September 30, 2006. Once the base case has been estimated, cash flows are projected for each of the defined interest rate scenarios. Those scenario results are then compared against the base case to determine the estimated change to cash flow. Cash flow changes from interest rate swaps, caps, floors or any other derivative instrument are included in this analysis.

The following table summarizes the Company’s net interest income cash flow and market value sensitivity analyses at September 30, 2006. These analyses represent management’s estimate of the percentage change in net interest margin cash flow and value expressed as a percentage change of shareholders' equity, given a shift in interest rates, as discussed above. Certain investments, with a carrying value of $3.1 million at September 30, 2006 are not considered to be interest rate sensitive and are excluded from the analysis below. The “Base” case represents the interest rate environment as it existed as of September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, one-month LIBOR was 5.32% and six-month LIBOR was 5.37%. The base case net interest margin cash flow is $15.1 million, excluding net interest margin on cash and cash equivalents, and $22.2 million, including net interest margin on cash and cash equivalents. The analysis is heavily dependent upon the assumptions used in the model. The effect of changes in future interest rates, the shape of the yield curve or the mix of assets and liabilities may cause actual results to differ significantly from the modeled results. In addition, certain financial instruments provide a degree of “optionality.” The most significant option affecting our portfolio is the borrowers’ option to prepay the loans. The model applies prepayment rate assumptions representing management’s estimate of prepayment activity on a projected basis for each collateral pool in the investment portfolio. The model applies the same prepayment rate assumptions for all five cases indicated below. The extent to which borrowers utilize the ability to exercise their option may cause actual results to significantly differ from the analysis. Furthermore, the projected results assume no additions or subtractions to our portfolio, and no change to Dynex’s liability structure. Historically, there have been significant changes in the Company’s investment portfolio and the liabilities incurred by the Company. As a result of anticipated prepayments on assets in the investment portfolio, there are likely to be such changes in the future.

	Projected Change in Net Interest Margin Cash Flow From Base Case
Basis Point Increase (Decrease) in Interest Rates	Excluding Cash and Cash Equivalents	Including Cash and Cash Equivalents	Projected Change in Value, Expressed as a Percentage of Shareholders’ Equity

+200	(5.6)%	9.1%	(0.5)%
+100	(1.7)%	5.3%	(0.1)%
Base	-	-	-
-100	0.9%	(5.8)%	0.1%
-200	3.0%	(10.9)%	0.2%

The Company’s interest rate rise is related both to the rate of change in short-term interest rates and to the level of short-term interest rates. Approximately $239 million of Dynex’s investment portfolio as of September 30, 2006 is comprised of loans or securities that have coupon rates that are fixed. Approximately $110 million of its investment portfolio as of September 30, 2006 was comprised of loans or securities that have coupon rates which adjust over time (subject to certain periodic and lifetime limitations) in conjunction with changes in short-term interest rates. Approximately 67%, 11% and 10% of the adjustable-rate loans underlying our securitized finance receivables are indexed to and reset based upon the level of six-month LIBOR, one-year constant maturity treasury rate (CMT) and prime rate, respectively.

- 31 -

Generally, during a period of rising short-term interest rates, our net interest income earned and the corresponding cash flow on our investment portfolio will decrease. The decrease of the net interest spread results from (i) fixed-rate loans and investments financed with variable-rate debt, (ii) the lag in resets of the adjustable rate loans underlying the adjustable rate securities and securitized finance receivables relative to the rate resets on the associated borrowings and (iii) rate resets on the adjustable rate loans which are generally limited to 1% every six months or 2% every twelve months and subject to lifetime caps, while the associated borrowings have no such limitation. As to item (i), the Company has substantially limited its interest rate risk by match funding fixed rate assets and variable rate assets. As to item (ii) and (iii), as short-term interest rates stabilize and the adjustable-rate loans reset, the net interest margin may be partially restored as the yields on the adjustable-rate loans adjust to market conditions.

Net interest income may increase following a fall in short-term interest rates. This increase may be temporary as the yields on the adjustable-rate loans adjust to the new market conditions after a lag period. The net interest spread may also be increased or decreased by the proceeds or costs of interest rate swap, cap or floor agreements, to the extent that Dynex has entered into such agreements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

In conducting its review of disclosure controls, management concluded that sufficient disclosure controls and procedures did exist to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in internal controls.

The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

- 32 -

On February 11, 2005, a putative class action complaint alleging violations of the federal securities laws and various state common law claims was filed against Dynex Capital, Inc., our subsidiary MERIT Securities Corporation, Stephen J. Benedetti, the Company's Executive Vice President, and Thomas H. Potts, the Company's former President and a former Director, in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ("District Court") by the Teamsters Local 445 Freight Division Pension Fund ("Teamsters"). The lawsuit purported to be a class action on behalf of purchasers of MERIT Series 13 securitization financing bonds, which are collateralized by manufactured housing loans. On May 31, 2005, the Teamsters filed an amended class action complaint. The amended complaint dropped all state common law claims but added federal securities claims related to the MERIT Series 12 securitization financing bonds. On July 15, 2005, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On February 10, 2006, the District Court dismissed the claims against Messrs. Benedetti and Potts, but did not dismiss the claims against Dynex and MERIT. On February 24, 2006, Dynex and MERIT moved for reconsideration and interlocutory appeal of the District Court's order denying the motion to dismiss Dynex and MERIT. The Company has evaluated the allegations and believes them to be without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against them.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A - Risk Factors of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the “Form 10-K”). The materialization of any risks and uncertainties identified in the Company's Forward Looking Statements contained herein together with those previously disclosed in the Form 10-K or those that are presently unforeseen could result in significant adverse effects on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See Item 2. “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Forward Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On November 15, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to one million shares of its common stock. Subject to the applicable securities laws and the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock designation, future repurchases of common stock will be made at times and in amounts as the Company deems appropriate and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There were no common stock repurchases made by or on behalf of the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
