NOTE 1 -- BUSINESS

Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("Capstead" or the "Company") operates as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") earning income from investing in real
estate-related assets on a leveraged basis and from other investment strategies.
These investments currently include, but are not limited to, adjustable-rate
single-family residential mortgage-backed securities issued by
government-sponsored entities, either Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae
("Agency Securities"). The Company is also evaluating other suitable investments
which may include credit-sensitive commercial and residential real
estate-related assets.

NOTE 2 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Information. The accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year ending
December 31, 2001. For further information refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

1-For-2 Reverse Common Stock Split. All references to common shares and per
common share amounts have been adjusted to reflect a 1-for-2 reverse common
stock split which was approved at a special stockholders meeting held June 15,
2001. The common shares commenced trading on a post-reverse split basis on July
2, 2001, which coincided with the first day the common shares traded ex-dividend
for a $14.60 ($7.30 pre-reverse split) special common dividend paid June 29,
2001 (see NOTE 3).

Adoption of New Derivative Financial Instrument Accounting Rules. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") establishes new accounting and reporting
standards for derivative financial instruments ("Derivatives") and hedging
activities. It requires recognition of all Derivatives, including certain
Derivatives not previously afforded accounting recognition, as either assets or
liabilities on the balance sheets and measurement of those instruments at fair
value. The Company adopted SFAS 133 January 1, 2001 and recognized in Other
comprehensive income certain clean-up call rights on off-balance sheet
securitizations as cash flow hedge instruments (see NOTE 10). These call rights
allow Capstead to lock in a maximum price for a modest amount of adjustable-rate
mortgage-backed securities that the Company expects to purchase in the future,
provided certain requirements specified in the related indentures have been met.

NOTE 3 -- NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) after deducting preferred share dividends by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. Diluted net

                                      -6-

income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after
deducting preferred share dividends for antidilutive convertible preferred
shares, by the weighted average number of common shares, dilutive stock options
and dilutive convertible preferred shares outstanding. The components of the
computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share were as follows (in
thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 4 -- CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

Second Quarter Common Dividend. On July 18, 2001 the Board of Directors declared
a second quarter dividend of $1.56 per common share, payable August 20 to
stockholders of record as of August 9, 2001.

Special Common Dividend. On April 30, 2001 the Board of Directors declared a
special dividend of $14.60 per common share, or $201.2 million of the Company's
Paid-in capital, which was paid June 29 to stockholders of record as of June 13,
2001.

Conversion of Series C Preferred Shares. On May 4, 2001 Fortress Investment
Group LLC ("Fortress") converted the Series C preferred shares it acquired
through an affiliate in December 1999, into 1,344,500 common shares. Fortress
controls 34% of the voting shares of the Company. Wesley R. Edens, Capstead's
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is also chairman of the board
of Fortress.

Adjustments to Preferred Share Conversion Rates. As a consequence of the special
common dividend and reverse stock split, the conversion rates of the Series A
and B preferred shares were adjusted concurrently in accordance with the terms
of the governing Articles Supplementary, as follows:

<Table>
<Caption>
     PREFERRED SHARES      PRIOR RATES     NEW RATES
     ----------------      -----------     ---------

                                     
         Series A            0.5525         0.9657
         Series B            0.1922         0.3559
</Table>

At the current market prices of both the common shares and Series B preferred
shares, few, if any, actual Series B conversions are expected. The new
conversion rate for the Series B preferred shares does however increase this
security's dilutive effect in the calculation of dilutive earnings per common
share. The Series B preferred shares are considered dilutive, for earnings per
share purposes only, whenever the annualized common basic earnings per share
exceeds $3.54 ($1.26 Series B annualized dividend divided by the new conversion
rate of 0.3559). Consequently, for earnings per share calculation purposes only,
the Company currently expects the Series B preferred shares to be dilutive in
the third and fourth quarters of 2001. Because Series B preferred share
conversions are not expected, REIT distribution requirements per common share
should not be affected.

The Company classifies its Agency Securities and non-agency securities by
interest rate characteristics of the underlying single-family residential
mortgage loans. Commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") are classified in
a similar fashion. Fixed-rate mortgage securities either (i) have fixed rates of
interest for their entire terms, (ii) have an initial fixed-rate period of 10
years after origination and then adjust annually based on a specified margin
over the 1-year Constant Maturity U.S. Treasury Note Rate ("1-year CMT"), or
(iii) were previously classified as medium-term and have adjusted to a fixed
rate for the remainder of their terms. Medium-term mortgage securities either
(i) have an initial fixed-rate period of 3 or 5 years after origination and then
adjust annually based on a specified margin over 1-year CMT, (ii) have initial
interest rates that adjust one time, approximately 3 or 5 years after
origination, based on a specified margin over Fannie Mae yields for 30-year,
fixed-rate commitments at the time of adjustment, or (iii) are fixed-rate
mortgage securities that have expected weighted average lives of 5 years or
less. Adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") securities either (i) adjust annually
based on a specified margin over 1-year CMT, (ii) adjust semiannually based on a
specified margin over the 6-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), (iii)
adjust monthly based on a specific margin over the Cost of Funds Index ("COFI")
as published by the Eleventh District Federal Reserve Bank, or (iv) were
previously classified as medium-term and have begun adjusting annually based on
a specified margin over 1-year CMT. CMBS held as of June 30, 2001 adjust monthly
based on a specified margin over 30-day LIBOR.

Agency Securities are AAA-rated and have no foreclosure risk. Non-agency
securities consist of private mortgage pass-through securities backed primarily
by single-family jumbo-sized residential mortgage loans whereby the related
credit risk of the underlying loans is borne by AAA-rated private mortgage
insurers and other AAA-rated private mortgage securities (together, "Non-agency
Securities"). Although currently investment grade, CMBS held by the Company at
June 30, 2001 carry credit risk associated with the underlying commercial
mortgage loans. This risk is mitigated by bonds held by other investors that are
subordinate to the Company's interests. The maturity of mortgage-backed
securities is directly affected by the rate of principal prepayments on the
underlying loans.

NOTE 6 -- CMO COLLATERAL AND INVESTMENTS

CMO collateral consists of fixed-rate, medium-term and adjustable-rate mortgage
securities collateralized by single-family residential mortgage loans and
related short-term investments, both pledged to secure CMO borrowings ("Pledged
CMO Collateral"). All principal and interest on pledged mortgage securities is
remitted directly to collection accounts maintained by a trustee. The trustee is
responsible for reinvesting those funds in short-term investments. All
collections on the pledged mortgage securities and the reinvestment income
earned thereon are available for the payment of principal and interest on CMO
borrowings. Pledged mortgage securities are either Agency Securities or private
mortgage pass-through securities whereby the related credit risk of the
underlying loans is borne by AAA-rated private mortgage insurers or subordinated
bonds within the related CMO series to which the collateral is pledged. The
Company has retained $630,000 of credit risk in the form of subordinated bonds
associated with approximately $456 million of Pledged CMO Collateral remaining
outstanding as of June 30, 2001.

CMO investments currently consist of reserve funds retained by the Company in
connection with two 1993 mortgage loan sales. These reserve funds are available
to pay special hazard (e.g. earthquake or mudslide-related losses) or certain
bankruptcy costs associated with approximately $116 million of loans remaining
outstanding as of June 30, 2001 from the related securitizations.

NOTE 7 -- BORROWINGS UNDER REPURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

Borrowings made under uncommitted repurchase arrangements with investment
banking firms pursuant to which the Company pledges mortgage securities as

The weighted average effective interest rate on borrowings under repurchase
arrangements was 4.43% during the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

NOTE 8 -- CMO BORROWINGS

Each series of CMOs issued consists of various classes of bonds, most of which
have fixed rates of interest. Interest is payable monthly or quarterly at
specified rates for all classes. Typically, principal payments on each series
are made to each class in the order of their stated maturities so that no
payment of principal will be made on any class of bonds until all classes having
an earlier stated maturity have been paid in full.

The maturity of each CMO series is directly affected by the rate of principal
prepayments on the related Pledged CMO Collateral. Each series is also subject
to redemption, generally at the Company's option, provided that certain
requirements specified in the related indenture have been met (referred to as
"Clean-up Calls"); therefore, the actual maturity of any series is likely to
occur earlier than its stated maturity. The average effective interest rate for
all CMOs was 7.31% during the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

NOTE 9 -- DISCLOSURES REGARDING FAIR VALUES OF DEBT SECURITIES

Estimated fair values of debt securities have been determined using available
market information and appropriate valuation methodologies; however,
considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop these
estimates. In addition, fair values fluctuate on a daily basis. Accordingly,
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that
could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on
estimated fair values.

The fair value of Agency Securities, Non-agency Securities, CMBS and CMO
investments were estimated using either (i) quoted market prices when available,
including quotes made by lenders in connection with designating collateral for
repurchase arrangements, or (ii) offer prices for similar assets or market
positions. The fair value of Pledged CMO Collateral was based on projected cash
flows, after payment on the related CMOs, determined using market discount rates
and prepayment assumptions. The maturity of mortgage assets is directly affected
by the rate of principal payments on the underlying mortgage loans and, for
Pledged CMO Collateral, Clean-up Calls of the remaining CMOs outstanding. The
following table summarizes fair value disclosures for available-for-sale debt
securities (in thousands):

NOTE 12 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Stockholder Litigation. During 1998, twenty-four purported class action lawsuits
were filed against the Company and certain of its officers alleging, among other
things, that the defendants violated federal securities laws by publicly issuing
false and misleading statements and omitting disclosure of material adverse
information regarding the Company's business. In March 1999, these actions were
consolidated and in July 2000, a lead plaintiff group was appointed by the
court. An amended complaint was filed October 20, 2000. The amended complaint
claims that as a result of alleged improper actions, the market prices of the
Company's equity securities were artificially inflated during the period between
April 17, 1997 and June 26, 1998. The amended complaint seeks monetary damages
in an undetermined amount. On February 20, 2001 the Company responded to this
amended complaint with a motion to dismiss all allegations against the Company
and the named officers. On April 20, 2001 the plaintiffs responded to the
Company's motion to dismiss. The Company filed its reply to the plaintiffs'
response on May 21, 2001. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to
the claims and intends to vigorously defend the actions. Based on available
information, management believes the resolution of these suits will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("Capstead" or the "Company") operates as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") earning income from investing in real
estate-related assets on a leveraged basis and from other investment strategies.
These investments currently include, but are not limited to, adjustable-rate
single-family residential mortgage-backed securities issued by
government-sponsored entities, either Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae
("Agency Securities"). Capstead is also evaluating other suitable investments
which may include credit-sensitive commercial and residential real
estate-related assets.

On April 30, 2001 the Company declared a $14.60 per common share special
dividend that was paid June 29, 2001. The special dividend reduced common equity
capital by nearly 50% to $201.2 million; creating a capital structure capable of
generating enhanced returns to common equity stockholders, particularly under
current market conditions. No asset sales were necessary to fund the dividend.

In conjunction with the special dividend, on June 15, 2001 stockholders approved
a 1-for-2 reverse common stock split. The common shares began trading on a
post-reverse split basis on July 2, 2001, which coincided with the first day the
common shares traded ex-special dividend. All references to common shares and
per common share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse split.

Book value per common share of $13.96 at June 30, 2001 ($28.56 after adding back
the $14.60 special common dividend paid June 29), represents an increase of
$2.34 from year-end 2000 (calculated assuming payment of the second quarter 2001
common dividend, and redemption of outstanding preferred shares). Book value
benefited from the positive impact on the market value of the Company's mortgage
assets from lower prevailing interest rates, offset to some extent by portfolio
runoff. Book value also benefited during 2001 from $6.8 million of undistributed
gains on mortgage asset sales and, to a lesser extent, a March tender for
275,845 common shares at a price of $26.50 per share (including transaction
costs). The market value of Capstead's mortgage assets will continue to
fluctuate with changes in interest rates and market liquidity, and such changes
will generally be reflected in book value per common share. Book value will also
be affected by other factors, including the level of dividend distributions and
the size and composition of the Company's investment portfolios.

On May 4, 2001 Fortress Investment Group LLC ("Fortress") converted the Series C
preferred shares it acquired through an affiliate in December 1999, into
1,344,500 common shares. Fortress controls 34% of the voting shares of the
Company. Wesley R. Edens, Capstead's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer, is also chairman of the board of Fortress.

MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS

Mortgage investments consist primarily of single-family residential
mortgage-backed securities, most of which are adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM")
Agency Securities (see NOTE 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements for discussion of how Capstead classifies its mortgage investments).
Agency Securities are AAA-rated and have no foreclosure risk. Non-agency
securities consist of private mortgage pass-through securities whereby the
related credit risk of the underlying loans is borne by AAA-rated private
mortgage insurers and other AAA-rated private mortgage securities (together,
"Non-agency Securities"). The Company also invests in credit-sensitive
commercial mortgage assets such as commercial mortgage-backed securities
("CMBS"). Although currently investment grade, these

                                      -15-
   16

securities carry credit risk associated with the underlying commercial mortgage
loans. This risk is mitigated by bonds held by other investors that are
subordinate to the Company's interest (see "Risks Associated With
Credit-Sensitive Investments").

The Company's mortgage investment portfolio declined to $4.2 billion from $5.4
billion at year-end 2000 as a result of portfolio runoff and the sale of $451
million of medium-term securities. Additions to the portfolio were limited to
$87 million of ARM securities acquired in January. To the extent proceeds of
runoff or asset sales are not reinvested or cannot be reinvested at a rate of
return at least equal to the rate previously earned on that capital, earnings
may decline. The Company continues to evaluate suitable real estate-related
investments, which may include credit-sensitive assets that generally earn
higher yields due largely to a higher risk of default and reduced liquidity.
Capstead believes that such investments, when combined with the prudent use of
leverage, can provide attractive returns over the long term. The future size and
composition of Capstead's mortgage investment portfolio will depend on market
conditions, including levels of mortgage prepayments and the availability of
suitable investments at attractive pricing (see "Effects of Interest Rate
Changes").

(a)  Basis represents the Company's investment before mark-to-market.

(b)  Projected yields for the third quarter 2001 reflect ARM coupon resets and
     lifetime prepayment assumptions as adjusted for expected prepayments for
     this quarter only, as of July 18, 2001. Actual yields realized in future
     periods will largely depend upon (i) changes in portfolio composition, (ii)
     actual ARM coupon resets, (iii) actual prepayments and (iv) any changes in
     lifetime prepayment assumptions. Actual net margin on mortgage assets is
     also dependent on portfolio size and the extent the Company continues to
     deploy its liquidity in these portfolios (see "Effects of Interest Rate
     Changes").

(c)  The Company uses its liquidity to pay down borrowings. Return on assets is
     calculated assuming the use of this liquidity to reduce borrowing costs.

The overall yield earned on the mortgage investment portfolio averaged 6.68%
during the second quarter of 2001, compared to 7.06% during the first quarter.
As expected, yields on ARM securities peaked during the first quarter of 2001
and then began declining, reflecting the current trend of declining interest

                                      -16-
   17

rates that has been evident since the Federal Reserve began lowering short-term
interest rates in January 2001. Yields on ARM securities fluctuate as coupon
interest rates on the underlying mortgage loans reset to reflect current
interest rates and are expected to continue to decline in the coming quarters.
For example, if interest rates stabilize at rates in effect July 18, 2001,
average quarterly yields on the Company's current holdings of ARM securities
could decline a total of 114 basis points by the second quarter of 2002. Actual
yields on ARM securities will depend on fluctuations in, and market expectations
for fluctuations in, interest rates and levels of mortgage prepayments (see
"Effects of Interest Rate Changes").

Also, as expected, principal prepayment rates on holdings of ARM securities
continued to increase during the second quarter. The Company currently expects
prepayment rates to peak in the third quarter and begin to decline as more
mortgage loans underlying these ARM securities reset to lower levels,
eliminating or reducing the advantage for homeowners to refinance into
fixed-rate mortgage loans. Annualized prepayment rates on Ginnie Mae ARM
securities averaged 42.7% during the second quarter of 2001, significantly
higher than the 28.2% annualized rate during the first quarter of 2001 and the
16.9% level experienced during the second quarter of 2000. Annualized prepayment
rates on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ARM securities averaged 35.2% during the
second quarter of 2001, compared to 24.6% during the prior quarter and 21.9% for
the same period of 2000. While lower prepayment levels improve mortgage
investment yields by allowing related purchase premiums to be recognized in
operating results over a longer period, higher prepayment levels shorten the
period over which the premiums are amortized thus reducing investment yields. As
a result of the increased prepayments, net amortization of purchase premiums on
holdings of ARM securities increased to $5.8 million during the second quarter,
from $4.9 million during the first quarter of 2001. As of June 30, 2001, the net
premium on holdings of ARM securities was 1.15% of principal, or $44.9 million.

With its most recent action on June 27, 2001, the Federal Reserve has reduced
the Federal Funds Rate by a total of 275 basis points since the beginning of
this year in response to concerns over economic weakness. The 50 basis point
reductions on each of March 20, April 18 and May 15, 2001 and expectations for
an additional rate reduction in June contributed to a 138 basis point decline in
Capstead's average borrowing rates to 4.43% during the second quarter from 5.81%
during the first quarter of 2001. The Company's borrowing rates are expected to
decline another 60 basis points in the third quarter of 2001 as the full effect
of the second quarter interest rate reductions, and the 25 basis point rate
reduction on June 27, 2001 are realized. Any further changes in Capstead's
borrowing rates will depend on future actions by the Federal Reserve to change
short-term interest rates, market expectations of future changes in short-term
interest rates and the extent of any financial market liquidity concerns (see
"Effects of Interest Rate Changes").

CMO COLLATERAL AND INVESTMENTS

Since exiting the residential mortgage loan conduit business in 1995, the
Company has maintained finance subsidiaries with capacity to issue CMOs and
other securitizations backed by single-family residential mortgage loans
("securitization shelves"). From time to time Capstead purchases mortgage loans
from originators or conduits, places these loans into private mortgage
pass-through securities and issues CMOs or other securities backed by these
securities. The Company may or may not retain a significant residual economic
interest in these securitizations. During 2001, the Company has not issued any
CMOs. From time to time, the Company exercises its right to redeem outstanding
CMO bonds (referred to as "clean-up calls") and either sell or hold the released
CMO collateral for investment. During 2001, the Company has exercised clean-up
calls related to 6 CMOs, selling $83 million of released CMO collateral for a
gain of $986,000.

                                      -17-
   18

To date, the related credit risk of CMO collateral issued by Capstead has been
borne by AAA-rated private mortgage insurers or by subordinated bonds within the
related CMO series to which the collateral is pledged. As of June 30, 2001, the
Company had only $630,000 of credit risk held in the form of subordinated bonds
associated with approximately $456 million of outstanding securities. In
addition, Capstead has retained $2.8 million of reserve funds in connection with
two 1993 mortgage loan sales. These reserve funds are available to pay special
hazard costs (e.g. earthquake or mudslide-related losses) or certain bankruptcy
costs associated with approximately $116 million of loans outstanding as of June
30, 2001 from the related securitizations.

CMO collateral and investments, net of related bonds, was $20.6 million at June
30, 2001, down from $23.0 million at year-end 2000. Included in this net
investment are $13.5 million of the remaining CMO collateral premiums and bond
discounts. Similar to premiums on the Company's mortgage investments, CMO
collateral premiums and bond discounts are amortized to income as CMO collateral
yield or bond expense adjustments based on both actual prepayments and lifetime
prepayment assumptions (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes").

*    Based on maximum borrowings available under existing uncommitted repurchase
     arrangements considering the fair value of related collateral as of June
     30, 2001 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources").

**   Represents cash and cash equivalents.

The Company finances its mortgage investments with investment banking firms
under repurchase arrangements (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). CMO
collateral and investments are generally pledged to secure CMO bonds. Liquidity
is affected by, among other things, changes in market value of assets pledged
under repurchase arrangements, principal prepayments and general conditions in
the mortgage finance industry. The $201.2 million special dividend payment on
June 29, 2001 reduced the Company's liquidity below year-end 2000 levels and
increased the level of financial leverage currently employed by the Company.
Future levels of financial leverage will be dependent upon many factors,
including the size and composition of the Company's investment portfolios (see
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Effects of Interest Rate Changes").

TAX CONSIDERATIONS OF 2001 COMMON DIVIDENDS, INCLUDING THE SPECIAL COMMON
DIVIDEND

Each common dividend distribution paid during 2001 is expected to be made up of
taxable income and return of capital. The taxable income component will be
calculated on the ratio of the Company's taxable income for the year to total
distributions made for the year, applied to each common dividend distribution,
including the $14.60 special common dividend. The Company estimates that the per
share dollar amount of the return of capital component of the 2001 common
dividend, in total, will approximate the amount of

                                      -18-
   19

the special common dividend. Thus, common stockholders receiving all regular
quarterly dividends for 2001, as well as the special common dividend, can expect
to receive return of capital per common share approximating $14.60. Final
dividend characterization will not be known until the close of the Company's tax
year. Dividend characterization information will be available by the end of
January 2002.

Stockholders should reduce the tax cost basis of their shares by the amount of
return of capital distributions received in 2001 and in prior years, if
applicable. Return of capital distributions received in excess of tax cost basis
should be reported as capital gain. Also, special rules apply for stockholders
who sold shares between the June 13 special dividend record date and the July 2,
2001 ex-dividend date. Due to the complex nature of the applicable tax rules, it
is recommended that stockholders consult their tax advisors to ensure proper tax
treatment of dividends received from the Company for 2001.

The earning capacity of the Company's mortgage asset portfolios is largely
dependent on the overall size and composition of the portfolios, the
relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (the "yield curve") and
the extent the Company continues to invest its liquidity in these portfolios.
Net margins on mortgage assets and financing spreads (the difference between
yields earned on mortgage investments and rates charged on related borrowings)
have benefited during 2001 from actions taken by the Federal Reserve since the
beginning of this year to aggressively lower short-term interest rates, which
have resulted in lower interest rates on the Company's borrowings. In addition,
yields on ARM securities steadily increased during 2000 and into early 2001 as
coupon interest rates on the underlying mortgage loans reset higher reflecting
the relatively high interest rate environment experienced during 2000. Yields
were also impacted by the portfolio restructuring that commenced during the
second quarter of last year and resulted in the sale or designation for sale of
nearly all fixed-rate and medium-term securities previously held in the
portfolio and the acquisition during the latter part of 2000 of additional ARM
securities with the proceeds from these sales.

Although the Company anticipates continued improvement in financing spreads
during the third quarter of 2001, lower interest rates have also spurred higher
levels of mortgage prepayments, reducing the overall size of the Company's
mortgage investment portfolios and yields on ARM Securities have begun to reset
lower. In addition, while having a positive impact on returns on common equity
under current market conditions, the payment of the special dividend on June 29,
2001 has increased the level of financial leverage employed by the Company to
support its current investment portfolios going forward. See "Financial
Condition - Mortgage Investments" for further discussion of the effects on ARM
yields and borrowing rates of recent actions taken by the Federal Reserve to
lower short-term interest rates and "Utilization of Capital and Potential
Liquidity" for further discussion of financial leverage.

Agency Securities contributed more to operating results during the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2001 than in the same period of 2000 primarily because
of improvements in financing spreads as discussed above, despite the smaller
average size of the portfolio in 2001. Yields for this portfolio averaged 6.64%
and 6.84% during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to
6.44% and 6.27% during the same periods in 2000, while average borrowing rates
were 4.43% and 5.14%, respectively, compared to 6.24% and 6.04% during the same
periods in 2000. The average outstanding Agency Securities portfolio was $4.3
billion and $4.5 billion during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001,
respectively, compared to $4.9 billion and $5.1 billion during the same periods
in 2000.

Non-agency Securities contributed more to operating results during the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2001 despite a lower average outstanding portfolio
because of lower borrowing costs. The average outstanding portfolio was $101
million and $96 million, respectively, during the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2001, compared to $183 million and $173 million during the same periods
in 2000. During the first six months of 2001, this portfolio was funded almost
entirely with equity, while in the corresponding periods of 2000, it was
financed with average borrowings of $111 million and $115 million, respectively.
The Company anticipates borrowing against this portfolio for the remainder of
2001. Average yields for this portfolio (calculated including mortgage insurance
costs) were 7.94% and 8.08% during the quarter and six months ended June 30,
2001, respectively, compared to 7.88% and 7.89% during the same periods in 2000.

The Company made its first acquisitions of credit-sensitive CMBS in December
1999. Since early 2000, the Company has not made any additions to this
portfolio, which currently consists of $72 million of adjustable-rate CMBS
financed by longer-term repurchase arrangements. These investments yielded 7.09%
and 7.73% during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively,
while average borrowing rates were 5.05% and 5.70%, respectively.

CMO collateral and investments results continue to diminish as the CMO
securitizations that Capstead has retained interests in continue to runoff or
are redeemed pursuant to clean-up calls (see "Financial Condition - CMO
Collateral and Investments"). Without the issuance of CMOs in which the Company
retains residual interests, or the acquisition of other CMO investments, this
portfolio is not expected to provide a significant positive return on capital
employed in future periods.

Gain on sale of mortgage assets reflects the second quarter 2001 sale of $83
million of released CMO collateral and the first quarter 2001 sale of $451
million of medium-term Agency Securities.

Although CMO administration revenue was lower this year primarily because a
declining portfolio of CMOs for which Capstead provides administrative services,
other revenue increased during the second quarter of 2001 as the Company
invested a larger than normal amount of its excess liquidity in short-term
investments. With the dramatic decline in interest rates this year, the Company
has temporarily enjoyed a positive spread between interest rates on overnight
investments and its short-term borrowing rates.

                                      -20-
   21

Other operating expenses include higher accruals for incentive compensation
because of the expectation that the Company's performance in 2001 will exceed
predetermined benchmarks established by the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of funds include borrowings under repurchase
arrangements, monthly principal and interest payments on mortgage investments,
excess cash flows on CMO collateral and investments and proceeds from sales of
mortgage assets (see "Financial Condition - Utilization of Capital and Potential
Liquidity"). The Company currently believes that these funds are sufficient for
the acquisition of real estate-related investments, repayments on borrowings,
and the payment of cash dividends as required for Capstead's continued
qualification as a REIT. It is the Company's policy to remain strongly
capitalized and conservatively leveraged.

Borrowings under repurchase arrangements secured by Agency Securities and
Non-agency Securities generally have maturities of less than 31 days. The
Company has uncommitted repurchase facilities with investment banking firms to
finance these mortgage assets, subject to certain conditions. Interest rates on
borrowings under these facilities are generally based on overnight to 30-day
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rates. The terms and conditions of these
arrangements are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Amounts
available to be borrowed under these arrangements are dependent upon the fair
value of the securities pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in
interest rates, market liquidity and the securities' credit quality.

Borrowings under repurchase arrangements secured by purchases of adjustable-rate
CMBS more closely match the interest rate adjustment features and expected life
of these investments such that the Company anticipates it can earn consistent
net interest spreads on these investments. Should Capstead make significant
additional investments in credit-sensitive mortgage assets, it is anticipated
that the Company will attempt to lessen interest rate volatility in a similar
fashion or through the use of derivative financial instruments ("Derivatives")
such as interest rate swaps (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes" and "Risks
Associated With Credit-Sensitive Investments").

EFFECTS OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ON OPERATING RESULTS

The Company performs earnings sensitivity analysis using an income simulation
model to estimate the effects that specific interest rate changes will have on
future earnings. All mortgage assets and Derivatives held, if any, are included
in this analysis. The sensitivity of Other revenue and expense to changes in
interest rates is included as well. The model incorporates management
assumptions regarding the level of prepayments on mortgage assets for a given
interest rate change using market-based estimates of prepayment speeds. These
assumptions are developed through a combination of historical analysis and
future expected pricing behavior.

*    Sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates is determined relative
     to the actual rates at the applicable date.

**   Note that the projected 12-month earnings change is predicated on
     acquisitions of similar assets sufficient to replace runoff. There can be
     no guarantee that suitable investments will be available for purchase at
     attractive prices or if investments made will behave in the same fashion as
     assets currently held.

Income simulation modeling is a primary tool used to assess the direction and
magnitude of changes in net margins on mortgage assets resulting from changes in
interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment rates on
mortgage assets, changes in market conditions, and management's financial
capital plans. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the
model cannot precisely estimate net margins or precisely predict the impact of
higher or lower interest rates on net margins. Actual results will differ from
simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate
changes and other changes in market conditions, management strategies and other
factors.

GENERAL DISCUSSION OF EFFECTS OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES

Changes in interest rates may affect the Company's earnings in various ways.
Earnings currently depend primarily on the difference between the interest
received on mortgage investments and the interest paid on related borrowings,
which are generally based on 30-day LIBOR, an index that reflects prevailing
short-term interest rates. The resulting spread may be reduced or even be
negative in a rising short-term interest rate environment. Because the mortgage
investment portfolio currently consists primarily of ARM mortgage securities,
the risk of rising short-term interest rates is offset to some extent by
increases in the rates of interest earned on the underlying ARM loans, a portion
of which reset each month, based on underlying indices (generally 1-year CMT
rates). Since only a portion of the ARM loans underlying the Company's
securities reset each month, and the terms of an ARM loan generally limit the
amount of such increases during any single interest rate adjustment period and
over the life of the loan, interest rates on borrowings can rise to levels that
may exceed the interest rates on the underlying loans contributing to lower or
even negative financing spreads. At other times, as seen in 1998, and as is
currently being experienced in 2001, declines in these indices during periods of
falling short-term interest rates will negatively effect yields on ARM
securities as the underlying ARM loans reset at lower rates. If declines in
these indices exceed declines in the Company's borrowing rates, earnings may be
adversely affected. The Company may invest in Derivatives from time to time with
the goal of achieving more stable financing spreads on a portion of its mortgage
investments portfolio. The Company did not own any Derivatives for this purpose
as of the date of this filing.

Another effect of changes in interest rates is that as long-term interest rates
decrease, the rate of principal prepayments on mortgage loans underlying
mortgage investments generally increases. As seen in 1998, and to some extent in
2001, prolonged periods of high prepayments can significantly reduce the
expected life of mortgage investments; therefore, the actual yields realized can
be lower due to faster amortization of premiums. Further, to the extent the
proceeds of prepayments on mortgage investments are not

                                      -22-
   23

reinvested or cannot be reinvested at a rate of return at least equal to the
rate previously earned on such investments, earnings may be adversely affected.
There can be no assurance that suitable investments at attractive pricing will
be available in a timely fashion to replace runoff as it occurs or that the
current composition of investments (consisting primarily of ARM Agency
Securities) will be maintained.

A change in interest rates also impacts results recognized in earnings from CMO
collateral and investments, which currently consist primarily of fixed-rate CMO
residuals (see "Financial Condition"). As seen in 1998, if mortgage interest
rates fall, prepayments on the underlying mortgage loans generally will be
higher, accelerating the amortization of collateral premiums and bond discounts.
Conversely, if mortgage interest rates rise significantly above interest rates
on the collateral, principal prepayments will typically diminish, improving the
overall return on an investment in a fixed-rate CMO residual because of an
increase in time over which the Company receives positive net cash flows and can
amortize remaining collateral premiums and bond discounts.

The Company periodically sells mortgage assets, which may increase income
volatility because of the recognition of transactional gains or losses. Such
sales may become attractive or prudent as values of mortgage assets fluctuate
with changes in interest rates and market liquidity. At other times, such as in
the second quarter of 2000, asset sales may become prudent to shift the
Company's investment focus. Because Capstead currently has significant capital
loss carryforwards for tax purposes, gains on the sale of mortgage assets may
not be distributed to stockholders as dividends.

During periods of rising interest rates or falling market liquidity, mortgage
asset values can decline leading to increased margin calls, reducing the
Company's liquidity. A margin call means that a lender requires a borrower to
pledge additional collateral to re-establish the ratio of the value of the
collateral to the amount of the borrowing. If the Company is unable or unwilling
to pledge additional collateral, lenders can liquidate the collateral under
adverse market conditions, likely resulting in losses.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CREDIT-SENSITIVE INVESTMENTS

Commercial mortgage assets may be viewed as exposing an investor to greater risk
of loss than residential mortgage assets since such assets are typically secured
by larger loans to fewer obligors than residential mortgage assets. Commercial
property values and related net operating income are often subject to
volatility, and net operating income may be sufficient or insufficient to cover
debt service on the related mortgage loan at any given time. The repayment of
loans secured by income-producing properties is typically dependent upon the
successful operation of the related real estate project and the ability of the
applicable property to produce net operating income rather than upon the
liquidation value of the underlying real estate. Even when the current net
operating income is sufficient to cover debt service, there can be no assurance
that this will continue to be the case in the future.

Additionally, commercial properties may not be readily convertible to
alternative uses if such properties were to become unprofitable due to
competition, age of improvements, decreased demand, regulatory changes or other
factors. The conversion of commercial properties to alternate uses often
requires substantial capital expenditures, which may or may not be available.

The availability of credit for commercial mortgage loans may be dependent upon
economic conditions in the markets where such properties are located, as well as
the willingness and ability of lenders to make such loans. The availability of
funds in the credit markets fluctuates and there can be no assurance that the
availability of such funds will increase above, or will not contract below
current levels. In addition, the availability of similar commercial properties,
and the competition for available credit, may affect the ability of potential
purchasers to obtain financing for the acquisition of properties. This could
effect the repayment of commercial mortgages.

                                      -23-
   24

Credit-sensitive residential mortgages differ from commercial mortgages in
several important ways, yet can still carry substantial credit risk. Residential
mortgage securities typically are secured by smaller loans to more obligors than
CMBS, thus spreading the risk of mortgagor default. However, most of the
mortgages supporting credit-sensitive residential mortgage-backed securities are
made to homeowners that do not qualify for Agency loan programs for reasons
including loan size, financial condition, or work or credit history that may be
indicative of higher risk of default than loans qualifying for such programs. As
with commercial mortgages, in instances of default, the Company may incur losses
if proceeds from sales of the underlying collateral are less than the unpaid
principal balances of the mortgage loans and related foreclosure costs. However,
with residential mortgages this risk may be mitigated by various forms of credit
enhancements including, but not limited to, primary mortgage insurance.

Through the process of securitizing both commercial and residential mortgages,
credit risk can be heightened or minimized. Senior classes in multi-class
securitizations generally have first priority over cash flows from a pool of
mortgages and, as a result, carry the least risk, highest investment ratings and
the lowest yields. Typically, a securitization will also have mezzanine classes
and subordinated classes. Mezzanine classes will generally have lower credit
ratings, higher yields and may have average lives that are longer than the
senior classes. Subordinate classes are junior in the right to receive cash flow
from the underlying mortgages, thus providing credit enhancement to the senior
and mezzanine classes. As a result, subordinated securities will have even lower
credit ratings and higher yields because of the elevated risk of credit loss
inherent in these securities.

The availability of capital from external sources to finance investments in
credit-sensitive commercial and residential mortgage assets that are not
financed to maturity at acquisition may be diminished during periods of mortgage
finance market illiquidity, such as was experienced in 1998. Additionally, if
market conditions deteriorate resulting in substantial declines in value of
these assets, sufficient capital may not be available to support the continued
ownership of such investments, requiring these assets to be sold at a loss.
