                               DYNEX CAPITAL, INC.

                ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO 2001, 2002 AND YEAR-TO-DATE
                2003 STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS, WITH NO ANTICIPATED
                  IMPACT TO PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BALANCE SHEETS
                                  OR CASH FLOWS


     Dynex  Capital,  Inc.  (NYSE:  DX) today  reported that the Company will be
adjusting  its  accounting  for  certain  transactions  in  2001,  2002 and 2003
regarding its investment in a delinquent property tax receivable security.  As a
result of this  adjustment,  the  Company  will be  restating  its  consolidated
statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, and for
the three  months  ended March 31, 2003 and June 30,  2003,  and is revising its
previously  reported  results for the three and nine months ended  September 30,
2003.  There is no  anticipated  impact on the  Company's  consolidated  balance
sheet, total reported shareholders' equity, common book value per share, or cash
flows for any of the above periods as a result of the restatement.

         The  restatement  relates to the  recognition  of  other-than-temporary
impairment  charges  on  and  reclassification  of  a  delinquent  property  tax
receivable  debt security from  available-for-sale  to  held-to-maturity  in the
fourth quarter of 2001. In 2001,  the Company had recorded  other-than-temporary
impairment  charges  of  $6.3  million  in the  statement  of  operations  and a
reduction in the carrying value of the tax receivable  security of $18.1 million
as  an  adjustment  to  accumulated   other   comprehensive   loss  included  in
shareholders'  equity after  consultation  with its  independent  auditors.  The
Company subsequently  amortized a portion of this $18.1 million in 2002 and 2003
on a level-yield  basis as a reduction in accumulated other  comprehensive  loss
and as an increase in the carrying  value of the tax receivable  security.  As a
result of  further  other-than-temporary  impairment  charges  proposed  on this
security in the third quarter 2003, the Company  reviewed the accounting for the
security  in  connection  with  the  2001  audited  financial  statements,   and
determined  that the $18.1  million  previously  recorded  as an  adjustment  to
accumulated other  comprehensive loss should have been recorded as an impairment
charge  in the  statement  of  operations  in  2001.  The  Company  has  further
determined  that interest income should have then been recorded in 2002 and 2003
based on estimated collections on a level-yield basis.

         The Company  anticipates that the impact of this restatement will be to
increase reported net loss in 2001 by $18.1 million,  decrease reported net loss
in 2002 by $5.5 million,  decrease reported net loss for the three-months  ended
September  30, 2003 by $10.2  million,  and  decrease  reported net loss for the
nine-months ended September 30, 2003 by $12.6 million.  The Company reported its
results  for the three  and nine  months  ended  September  30,  2003 in a press
release dated November 10, 2003,  and has not yet filed its Quarterly  Report on
Form 10-Q for such period.

     Attached  is a  summary  of the  Company's  revised  results  for the above
referenced periods.  The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2003, when filed, will reflect the accounting  treatment set
forth above.  The Company will be revising its 2001 and 2002 results by amending
its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2002, and will amend its Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the three month  periods ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003 to
reflect the above restatements.
