R&G FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1  -         REPORTING ENTITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


Reporting entity

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of R&G Financial Corporation (the Company) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, R&G Mortgage Corp. ("R&G Mortgage"), a Puerto Rico corporation,
and R-G Premier Bank of Puerto Rico (the "Bank"), a commercial bank chartered
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

         R&G Mortgage is engaged primarily in the business of originating
FHA-insured, VA- guaranteed, and privately insured first and second mortgage
loans on residential real estate. R&G Mortgage pools loans into mortgage-backed
securities and collateralized mortgage obligation certificates for sale to
investors. After selling the loans, it retains the servicing function. R&G
Mortgage is also a seller-servicer of conventional loans. R&G Mortgage is
licensed by the Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico as a mortgage company
and is duly authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

         R&G Mortgage is also engaged in the business of originating
non-conforming conventional first mortgage loans on residential real estate (1
to 4 families), including B and C credit quality loans, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Champion Mortgage Corporation.

         The Bank provides a full range of banking services, including
residential, commercial and personal loans and a diversified range of deposit
products through twenty-three branches located mainly in the northern part of
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The Bank also provides private banking and
trust and other financial services to its customers. The Bank is subject to the
regulations of certain federal and local agencies, and undergoes periodic
examinations by those regulatory agencies.

         The Bank also is engaged in the business of originating FHA insured, VA
guaranteed and privately insured first and second mortgage loans on residential
real estate (1 to 4 families) in the State of New York through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Continental Capital Corporation ("Continental Capital").

Basis of presentation

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (principally
consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of
the Company's financial condition as of June 30, 2000 and the results of
operations and changes in its cash flows for the three and six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999.

         The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2000. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Basis of consolidation

         All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.


Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133- "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" and in June 2000 issued SFAS No. 138-
"Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities."

         These Statements establish accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities. The statements require that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If
certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically accounted as a
hedge. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that is,
gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and the
resulting designation.

         The FASB delayed the effective date of these statements to all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Initial application of
the statements should be as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal quarter.
Management is evaluating its hedging strategy in light of these new
pronouncements to establish the initial designation of its hedging activities
and determine the effect and timing of adoption. However, due to the relatively
limited extent to which the Company is using derivative instruments and the
simple nature of the instruments used, management does not expect the impact of
adoption to be significant.

NOTE 2  -         EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per common share for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are computed by dividing net income for such
periods by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during such periods. Outstanding stock options granted in connection with the
Company's Stock Option Plan are included in the weighted average number of
shares for purposes of the diluted earnings per share computation.


NOTE 3  -         INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

         The carrying value and estimated fair value of investment and
mortgage-backed securities by category are shown below. The fair value of
investment securities is based on quoted market prices and dealer quotes, except
for the investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock which is valued at its
redemption value.

NOTE 7  -         COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Commitments to buy and sell GNMA certificates

         As of June 30, 2000, the Company had open commitments to issue GNMA
certificates of approximately $108.6 million.


Commitments to sell mortgage loans

         As of June 30, 2000 the Company had commitments to sell mortgage loans
to third party investors amounting to approximately $24.6 million.


Lease commitments

         The Company is obligated under several noncancellable leases for office
space and equipment rentals, all of which are accounted for as operating leases.
The leases expire at various dates with options for renewals.


Other

         At June 30, 2000, the Company is liable under limited recourse
provisions resulting from the sale of loans to several investors, principally
FHLMC. The principal balance of these loans, which are serviced by the Company,
amounts to approximately $651.5 million at June 30, 2000. Liability, if any,
under the recourse provisions at June 30, 2000 is estimated by management to be
insignificant.



NOTE 8  -         SUPLEMENTAL INCOME STATEMENT INFORMATION

mortgage loans and are offset against mortgage loan sales and fees when the
loans are sold, or amortized as a yield adjustment to interest income on loans
held for investment.

Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis
-------  ------------------------------------

Financial Condition

         At June 30, 2000, the Company's total assets amounted to $3.3 billion,
as compared to $2.9 billion at December 31, 1999. The $358.9 million or 12.3%
increase in total assets during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 was
attributable to a $264.7 million or 16.9% increase in loans receivable, net,
which reflects net originations following repayments and sales, and a $84.3
million or 32.6% increase in investment securities available for sale, which is
the result of the purchase of $78.1 million of such securities during the
period.

         The increase in the Company's assets were primarily funded by increased
deposits of $193.1 million or 14.5%, increased repurchased agreements of $55.7
million or 7.6% and by a $67.0 million or 17.4% increase in FHLB advances during
the six month period ended June 30, 2000.

         At June 30, 2000, the Company's stockholders' equity amounted to $282.9
million, which is an increase of $13.3 million or 4.9% from the amount reported
at December 31, 1999. The primary reason for the increase was the net income
earned for the period, which was partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in
unrealized losses on securities available for sale, net of income tax benefits,
and $5.5 million in dividends paid during the period. At June 30, 2000, the
Bank's leverage and Tier 1 risk-based capital amounted to 6.16% and 10.82% of
adjusted total assets, respectively, compared to a 4.0% minimum requirement, and
its total risk-based capital amounted to 11.53%, compared to an 8.0% minimum
requirement.

Results of Operations

         The Company reported net income of $10.7 million and $ 20.2 million
during the three and six months period ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $11.8
million and $23.0 million during the prior comparable periods.

         Total revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 amounted to
$65.9 million compared to $59.1 million for the prior comparable period. The
11.4% increase was due to an increase in net interest income of $7.7 million or
30.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2000 over the prior comparable
period, primarily due to a $23.6 million or 44.3% increase in interest income on
loans, primarily associated with an increase in the average balance of the
outstanding loan portfolio.

----------------------

         Contributing to the 11.4% increase in revenues during the six month
period ended June 30, 2000 was a $2.6 million or 21.1% increase in loan
administration and servicing fees due to an increase in the Company's loan
servicing portfolio. These increases in revenues were partially offset by a $3.0
million or 15.1% decrease in net gain on origination and sale of loans, which
reflects increases in interest rates for mortgage loans, which have reduced the
level of loans being refinanced.

         The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
mortgage loan servicing portfolio of R&G Financial for the periods indicated.

         Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 amounted to $34.0
million, a $4.6 million or 15.6% increase over the comparable quarter in 1999.
The increase in total revenues during the 2000 quarter was primarily
attributable to a $4.2 million or 33.6% increase in net interest income, and a
$760,000 or 11.5% increase in loan administration and servicing fees.

         Total expenses increased by $9.5 million or 31.3% during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 over the prior comparable period. The six month period ended
June 30, 2000 includes expenses associated with the operations of Continental
Capital, the Company's mortgage banking subsidiary in Long Island, New York,
acquired in late 1999, which was a significant reason for the increase in
expenses during the quarter. Excluding expenses associated with Continental
Capital, expenses during the period increased by $5.2 million or 17.0%, due
primarily to a $854,000 or 8.34% increase in employee compensation and benefits
associated with employees hired for new branch openings and the Company's
commercial loan department expansion, in both instances after June of last year.
The increase in employee expenses was accompanied by a $3.1 million or 20.6%
increase in other miscellaneous expenses, mainly as a result of a $1.4 million
increase in amortization expenses of the Company's servicing asset. Finally,
occupancy expenses increased by $1.2 million or 23.7%, related to the operation
of six additional branches completed during the latter part of 1999 and an
additional branch completed in early 2000.

         Total expenses increased by $4.3 million or 27.5% during the three
month period ended June 30, 2000, including expenses associated with Continental
Capital. Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, excluding
Continental Capital operations, increased by $2.3 million or 14.8% as compared
to the prior comparable period. The increase was due to a $472,000 or 17.4%
increase in occupancy expenses, and a $2.3 million or 30.8% increase in other
miscellaneous expenses offset by a $439,000 or 8.0% decrease in employee
compensation and benefits, notwithstanding the hiring of new employees for new
branch openings and expansion of the Company's commercial loan department after
June 1999 as a result of the Company's ongoing cost reduction efforts.

         Total income tax expense increased by $1.4 million or 69.0%, and
$13,000 or .21% during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2000,
respectively over the prior comparable periods. The Company's effective tax rate
amounted to 24.6% and 22.2%, respectively, during the three and six months
periods ended June 30, 2000 compared to 18.5% and 21.8% in the 1999 comparable
periods (excluding a $500,000 tax credit recorded in the second quarter of 1999
related to the purchase of certain investment tax credits). The increase in the
Company's effective tax rate during the quarter ended June 30, 2000 is primarily
related to increases in the Company's non-exempt interest income as a result of
growth of the Company's loans receivable portfolio.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Liquidity - Liquidity refers to the Company's ability to generate
sufficient cash to meet the funding needs of current loan demand, savings
deposit withdrawals, principal and interest payments with respect to outstanding
borrowings and to pay operating expenses. It is management's policy to maintain
greater liquidity than required in order to be in a position to fund loan
purchases and originations, to meet withdrawals from deposit accounts, to make
principal and interest payments with respect to outstanding borrowings and to
make investments that take advantage of interest rate spreads. The Company
monitors its liquidity in accordance with guidelines established by the Company
and applicable regulatory requirements. The Company's need for liquidity is
affected by loan demand, net changes in deposit levels and the scheduled
maturities of its borrowings. The Company can minimize the cash required during
the times of heavy loan demand by modifying its credit policies or reducing its
marketing efforts. Liquidity demand caused by net reductions in deposits are
usually caused by factors over which the Company has limited control. The
Company derives its liquidity from both its assets and liabilities. Liquidity is
derived from assets by receipt of interest and principal payments and
prepayments, by the ability to sell assets at market prices and by utilizing
unpledged assets as collateral

for borrowings. Liquidity is derived from liabilities by maintaining a variety
of funding sources, including deposits, advances from the FHLB of New York and
other short and long-term borrowings.

         The Company's liquidity management is both a daily and long-term
function of funds management. Liquid assets are generally invested in short-term
investments such as securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal
funds sold and certificates of deposit in other financial institutions. If the
Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, various
forms of both short and long-term borrowings provide an additional source of
funds. At June 30, 2000, the Company had $288.4 million in borrowing capacity
under warehousing and other lines of credit, $748.9 million in borrowings
capacity under a line of credit with the FHLB of New York and $25 million under
federal funds lines of credit. The Company has generally not relied upon
brokered deposits as a source of liquidity.

         At June 30, 2000, the Company had outstanding commitments to extend
credit totaling $36.1 million (excluding the undisbursed portion of loans in
process). Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature within one year
totaled $904.1 million at June 30, 2000, and borrowings that are scheduled to
mature within the same period amounted to $1.4 billion. The Company anticipates
that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan
commitments.

         Capital Resources - The FDIC's capital regulations establish a minimum
3.0 % Tier I leverage capital requirement for the most highly-rated
state-chartered, non-member banks, with an additional cushion of at least 100 to
200 basis points for all other state-chartered, non-member banks, which
effectively will increase the minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio for such other banks
from 4.0% to 5.0% or more. Under the FDIC's regulations, the highest-rated banks
are those that the FDIC determines are not anticipating or experiencing
significant growth and have well diversified risk, including no undue interest
rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and,
in general, which are considered a strong banking organization and are rated
composite 1 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System. Leverage or
core capital is defined as the sum of common stockholders'equity (including
retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus,
and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus all intangible assets
other than certain qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain purchased
mortgage servicing rights.

         The FDIC also requires that banks meet a risk-based capital standard.
The risk-based capital standard for banks requires the maintenance of total
capital (which is defined as Tier I capital and supplementary (Tier 2) capital)
to risk weighted assets of 8%. In determining the amount of risk-weighted
assets, all assets, plus certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a
risk-weight of 0% to 100%, based on the risks the FDIC believes are inherent in
the type of asset or item. The components of Tier 1 capital are equivalent to
those discussed above under the 3% leverage capital standard. The components of
supplementary capital include certain perpetual preferred stock, certain
mandatory convertible securities, certain subordinated debt and intermediate
preferred stock and general allowances for loan and lease losses. Allowance for
loan and lease losses includable in supplementary capital is limited to a
maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Overall, the amount of capital counted
toward supplementary capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. At June 30,
2000, the Bank met each of its capital requirements, with Tier 1 leverage
capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 6.16%,
10.82% and 11.53%, respectively.

         In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has promulgated capital adequacy
guidelines for bank holding companies which are substantially similar to those
adopted by FDIC regarding state-chartered banks, as described above. The Company
is currently in compliance with such regulatory capital requirements.

Inflation and Changing Prices

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related data
presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars (except with respect to
securities which are carried at market value), without considering changes in
the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most
industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the
Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more
significant impact on the Company's performance than the effects of general
levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services.
