RETAIL BANKING OPERATIONS

The Company's pre-tax profits from its banking operations totaled approximately
$24.1 million during the quarter. These results were down 20.5% from the first
quarter of 2005 and down 35.8% from the second quarter of 2004. During the
current quarter, the earning asset base of the retail banking operations
increased 4.5% and provided 55.6% of pre-tax operating earnings compared to
61.6% for 2004. This compares with a 98.2% contribution to pre-tax operating
earnings by the retail banking operation in the first quarter of 2005. This
change reflects the compressed net interest margin experienced in the second
quarter of 2005, resulting in lower earnings attributed to the retail banking
operations, coupled with the $18.7 million increase in revenues attributable to
the mortgage banking operations during the second quarter of 2005. The increase
in mortgage banking revenues was primarily from increased loan sales. The
Company opened five banking centers during the quarter and a total of eight
during the first six-months of 2005.

Flagstar's deposits were $7.9 billion at June 30, 2005 compared with $7.4
billion at December 31, 2004 and $6.5 billion at June 30, 2004. At June 30,
2005, consumer transaction account balances, including checking, savings, and
money market accounts, represented $1.8 billion compared with $2.1 billion at
December 31, 2004. During the past quarter, the Company's average weighted cost
of deposits increased by 28 basis points.

The Company's consumer certificate of deposit portfolio carries a weighted rate
of 3.67% and a weighted term of 16.1 months at June 30, 2005. On a sequential
quarter, the average weighted rate increased 3.7% from the 3.54% reported in the
first quarter of 2005.

The municipal division totals $1.5 billion in funds from local governmental
entities within the Company's immediate market area. These deposits carry a
weighted rate of 3.41% and a weighted term of 3.0 months at June 30, 2005. On a
sequential quarter, the weighted rate on municipal deposits increased by 15.6%
from the 2.95% reported in the first quarter of 2005.

The national deposits are comprised of strategically placed duration specific
offerings solicited to a nation wide audience. These deposits carry a weighted
rate of 3.28% and a weighted term of 21.4 months at June 30, 2005. The weighted
average rate for national deposits increased 3.1% from 3.18% reported for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $58.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005
compared to $59.3 million in the comparable period for 2004, and $123.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $110.3 million in the same
period last year. The net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2005
was 1.79%, which was a decrease of 34 basis points when compared to the same
period last year. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2005
was 1.90% compared to 2.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

On a sequential quarter basis, the Company's net interest income decreased
because of the 19 basis point decrease in the interest rate spread. The net
interest margin decreased 21 basis points to 1.79% from the 2.00% recorded in
the first quarter of 2005.

MORTGAGE BANKING OPERATIONS

         LOAN SALE GAINS

Gains recorded on the sales of mortgage loans were $31.2 million during the
quarter ended June 30, 2005 from $7.5 million recorded in the comparable 2004
period. This increase was attributable to the 30 basis point increase achieved
on the gain on sale spread during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to
the same quarter in 2004. On a sequential quarter basis the gain on sale spread
equaled 47 basis points in the second quarter of 2005 versus 14 basis points in
the first quarter of 2005.

         LOAN SALE GAINS (CONTINUED)

As previously reported, the Company originated $7.1 billion in residential
mortgage loans in the second quarter of 2005. This production level compares to
the $9.1 billion originated in the comparable 2004 period. This decrease was
primarily attributable to a decrease in the amount of mortgage loan
refinancings.
