ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

ORGANIZATION

Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("CMC" or the "Company") was incorporated on April
15, 1985 in the state of Maryland and commenced operations in September 1985.
The Company operates as a mortgage conduit which purchases and securitizes
various types of single-family residential mortgage loans.  In addition, the
Company has a mortgage servicing unit that functions as the primary mortgage
servicer for mortgage loans and mortgage servicing rights acquired by the
Company.

CMC, and its qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT") subsidiaries, have
elected to be taxed as a REIT and intend to continue to do so.  As a result of
this election, CMC is not taxed at the corporate level on taxable income
distributed to stockholders, provided that certain REIT qualification tests are
met.  All taxable income of certain other subsidiaries, including the mortgage
servicing unit, are subject to federal and state income taxes, where applicable.

CONDUIT OPERATIONS

The Company purchases many different types of mortgage loan products that it
classifies as fixed-rate, medium-term or adjustable-rate mortgage investments.
Fixed-rate mortgage investments (i) have fixed rates of interest for their
entire terms or (ii) have an initial fixed-rate period of ten years after
origination and then adjust annually based on a specified margin over 1-year
United States Treasury Securities ("1-year Treasuries").  Medium-term mortgage
investments (i) have an initial fixed-rate period of three or five years after
origination and then adjust annually based on a specified margin over 1-year
Treasuries or (ii) have initial interest rates that adjust one time,
approximately five years following origination of the mortgage loan, based on a
specified margin over the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") yields
for 30-year, fixed-rate commitments at the time of adjustment.  Adjustable-rate
mortgage investments either (i) adjust semi-annually based on a specified margin
over the 6-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or (ii) adjust annually
based on a specified margin over 1-year Treasuries.

The Company purchases mortgage loans from mortgage banking companies, savings
banks, commercial banks, credit unions, mortgage brokers and other financial
intermediaries ("Correspondents") throughout the United States.  Correspondents
must meet certain financial and performance requirements before they are
approved to participate in the Company's Correspondent Program.  A purchase and
sale agreement is executed with each Correspondent that provides for recourse
against the Correspondent in the event of fraud or misrepresentation in the
process by which a mortgage loan is originated.

The Company maintains purchase guidelines for the acquisition of mortgage loans
based on the anticipated requirements of its mortgage pool insurers, mortgage
investors and management's assessment of the criteria used by nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations ("Rating Agencies") to analyze the
quality of the collateral pledged to mortgage-backed securities issued by the
Company.  The Company does not itself underwrite mortgage loans, but instead
relies on the credit review and analysis of its mortgage pool insurers
(primarily General Electric Mortgage Insurance Company), other Company-approved
underwriters or originators of mortgage loans where the Company has specifically
delegated underwriting responsibilities.

                                      -1-
<PAGE>
 
The principal amount of mortgage loans acquired by the Company at the time of
origination generally range from $203,150 to $650,000 per loan.  Substantially
all of the mortgage loans acquired by the Company comply with the underwriting
criteria of the mortgage securities programs sponsored by the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and FNMA, except that original outstanding
principal amounts generally exceed the maximum permissible amount ($203,150,
effective January 1, 1993) for such programs ("Nonconforming Mortgage Loans").
The average loan purchased in 1994 had an original principal balance of
approximately $282,000.

Commitments are issued that obligate the Company to purchase mortgage loans from
the Correspondent for a specific period of time (typically 10 to 90 days), in a
specific aggregate principal amount and bearing a specified mortgage interest
rate and price.  The Company issues three types of commitments: mandatory,
optional and best efforts.  The Company receives a fee on optional and best
effort commitments, but not on mandatory commitments.  However, if a
Correspondent fails to deliver a loan subject to a mandatory commitment, the
Correspondent is obligated to pay the Company the difference between the yield
the Company would have obtained on the mortgage loan and the yield available on
similar mortgage loans subject to mandatory commitments issued at the time of
such failure to deliver, plus a penalty.

MORTGAGE LOAN PORTFOLIO

The Company purchases mortgage loans from Correspondents on a daily basis.  The
loans purchased by the Company in the past have been warehoused in the mortgage
loan portfolio until a long term investment strategy was implemented.
Periodically, mortgage loans would be pledged to secure collateralized mortgage
obligations ("CMOs"), publicly-offered, multi-class mortgage pass-through
certificates ("MPCs"), or AAA-rated private mortgage pass-through securities
("Mortgage Pass-Throughs") issued by the Company's special-purpose finance
subsidiaries.

The Company utilizes repurchase agreements to finance the warehousing of
mortgage loans.  A repurchase agreement is a form of short term financing
pursuant to which mortgage loans are pledged as collateral for funds borrowed at
short term interest rates, typically 30 to 60 days.  Generally, mortgage
interest income earned exceeds related borrowing costs resulting in a positive
interest spread.

In response to low purchase volumes as experienced in 1994 and expected for
1995, the Company does not plan to continue assuming market risk associated with
aggregating and securitizing mortgage loans.  To eliminate this risk and create
more competitive prices, mortgage loans will be held in warehouse for a very
brief period, usually about a week.  Then, instead of the usual practice of
accumulating $100 million or more of loans for a securitization, mortgage loans
will be sold outright to private investors in amounts of up to $10 million.
This strategy may reduce the long term profit potential somewhat, but
substantially reduces market risk.

The Company also plans to offer a "B paper" loan program to Correspondents in
1995.  B paper loans are mortgage loans to potential homeowners whose poor
credit history will not allow them to obtain traditional mortgage financing.
Interest rates on B paper are higher than traditional mortgage loans and the
resulting spreads are wider, thus creating the opportunity to generate
additional profits through the Correspondent network.  The Company will not
retain any risk in this program as all loans will be purchased to specific
investor commitments.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
The Company has a commitment by a mortgage pool insurer to issue mortgage pool
insurance on most of its mortgage loan acquisitions.  A mortgage pool insurance
policy will cover losses due to mortgagor default in amounts generally ranging
from 7 to 15 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the insured pool of
mortgage loans.  Mortgage pool insurance policies are generally not in force
during warehousing of mortgage loans, but instead may be activated at the time
mortgage loans are pledged as collateral for a CMO, MPC or Mortgage Pass-Through
unless an investor in the former securitizations is willing to assume the credit
risk for the entire issuance (a "senior/subordinate" structure).
Senior/subordinate structures were used extensively in 1994.  During the
warehousing period the Company retains the full risk that mortgage loans may
default.  The Company has exposure to certain other risks during the warehousing
period.  These include bankruptcy and special hazards which are not covered by
standard hazard insurance policies (e.g., earthquakes), as well as fraud or
misrepresentation in the origination of the mortgage loan.  Defaults on mortgage
loans during the warehousing period, if linked to fraud or misrepresentation,
may be mitigated by the Correspondent's obligation to repurchase such mortgage
loan.  However, to the extent the Correspondent does not perform on its
repurchase obligation, the Company may incur a loss.

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH PORTFOLIO

The Company's long term investment strategy includes the securitization of
adjustable-rate and medium-term mortgage loans into Mortgage Pass-Throughs.
This investment strategy primarily features adjustable-rate mortgage loans
which, because of their adjustable interest rates, are more likely to retain
value.

At the time mortgage loans are pledged as collateral for Mortgage Pass-Throughs,
the mortgage pool insurance policy is activated.  The level of coverage under
any such mortgage pool insurance policy is determined by one or more of the
Rating Agencies, and is at a level necessary to allow the insured pool of
mortgage loans, or the securities such pools are pledged to secure, to be AAA-
rated.  At such time, the Company also insures or reserves against bankruptcy
and special hazard risks.

The Company utilizes repurchase agreements to finance the Mortgage Pass-Through
portfolio.  The formation of Mortgage Pass-Throughs enhances the marketability
of the underlying mortgage loans, thus enabling the Company to reduce its
borrowing costs below the level paid on non-rated loans.

AGENCY SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

The Company also invests in fixed-rate and adjustable-rate agency securities
that consist primarily of mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by government
sponsored entities such as FNMA, Government National Mortgage Association or
FHLMC.  Because agency securities are the most widely traded mortgage-backed
securities, unique financing opportunities exist in the marketplace that enable
the Company to achieve attractive interest rate spreads on the financing of such
assets.  The agency securities portfolio also includes investments in callable
agency notes.  Callable agency notes currently held by the Company are
unsecured, 3-year fixed-rate notes issued by FHLMC, FNMA, or the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB") and mature in 1997, unless redeemed earlier by FHLMC,
FNMA or FHLBB.

CMO INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO AND RELATED SECURITIZATION ACTIVITY

The Company's long term investment strategy has included the securitization of
fixed-rate and medium-term mortgage loans, whereby such loans have been pledged
as collateral for the issuance of CMOs or MPCs. Most of the Company's CMOs are
structured as financings in which the Company recognizes economic gains or
losses over the term of the collateral.  MPCs and some CMOs are structured as
sales.  Such sales preserve capital because the investment retained in the
securitization is limited; however, income can be more volatile because of the
recognition of transactional gains or losses.

Each series of CMOs consist of multiple classes of bonds, each having its own
maturity.  MPCs are structured in a similar fashion with the exception that
investors do not purchase bonds subject to an indenture; rather, they purchase
certificates evidencing undivided interests in a trust that owns the underlying
mortgage loans.  The segmentation of CMOs into classes of bonds with varying
maturities along with mortgage pool insurance or other credit enhancements
provided to make all or most of the CMO bonds AAA-rated enables the Company to
issue CMO classes with shorter scheduled maturities and lower interest rates
than the underlying mortgage loans.  Each of these factors contributes to a
positive difference between the payments received on the mortgage loans pledged
to secure such CMOs and the payments made on the CMOs issued (the "Excess Cash
Flow").  Because the shorter-term classes of CMO bonds typically bear lower
rates of interest than longer-term classes, the Excess Cash Flow on a CMO is
typically greatest in the early years of the CMO.  As the mortgage loans are
repaid and the shorter-term classes of CMO bonds are retired, the average
interest cost of the CMOs outstanding increases.  Thus, the Excess Cash Flow
will decline over time.

The right to receive the Excess Cash Flow, along with the noncash amortization
of collateral and bond premiums and discounts is referred to as the "CMO
Residual".  CMO structures have evolved in recent years such that the Excess
Cash Flow portion of a CMO Residual has been virtually eliminated by the
formation of additional CMO securities including various forms of interest-only
and/or principal-only securities.  Interest-only securities represent ownership
in an undivided interest in interest payments on the underlying collateral.
Principal-only securities represent ownership in an undivided interest in
principal payments on the underlying collateral.  Since the fall of 1992 the
Company typically has sold much of the noncash portion of its CMO Residuals and
retained for its CMO investment portfolio certain of the interest-only and/or
principal-only securities formed in connection with CMO and MPC issuances.

Investments in interest-only and principal-only securities held in the CMO
investment portfolio are sensitive to changes in interest rates.  In a falling
interest rate environment, prepayments on the underlying mortgage collateral
generally will be high and the Company could incur losses on investments in
interest-only securities.  Conversely, in periods of rising interest rates,
interest-only securities will tend to perform favorably because the underlying
mortgage collateral will generally prepay at slower rates.  Principal-only
securities react differently to changes in interest rates.  Lower interest rates
result in the recovery of this investment more rapidly thus increasing yields.
During periods of rising rates, it takes longer for the Company to recover its
principal-only investments thus lowering yields.  Principal-only securities
retained by the Company generally represent a much smaller investment than
interest-only investments.

At the time the loans are pledged for issuance of a CMO or MPC, the mortgage
pool insurance policy can be activated.  At such time, the Company also can

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
insure or reserve against bankruptcy and special hazard risks, and reduce its
exposure to losses from fraud or misrepresentation in the origination of the
mortgage loan.  In late 1993 the Company began issuing CMOs in a
senior/subordinate structure (in lieu of purchasing mortgage pool insurance and
special hazard insurance) where the investor is the subordinate classes assumes
credit and special hazard risks.  The Company has retained an aggregate of
approximately $2.2 million of credit and special hazard risk on certain of these
issuances.  Actual losses to the Company due to this risk are dependent upon the
timing and magnitude of related collateral defaults.  The Company does not
currently anticipate a need to increase its provision for possible losses for
this risk.

The issuance of CMOs typically eliminates the Company's short term financing
risk associated with mortgage loans that are pledged as collateral for such CMOs
as well as the risk that the market value of such mortgage loans will decline.
This is because each series of CMOs is structured to be fully repaid out of the
principal and interest payments on the underlying mortgage loans, including
reinvestment proceeds, regardless of fluctuations in the market value of such
mortgage loans.

For 1995 the Company expects to sell rather than securitize much of its current
production.  As a result, further CMO issuances by the Company and, therefore,
additions to its CMO investment portfolio are expected to be limited.  However,
the Company may from time to time invest in other issuers' CMO bonds.

SERVICING OPERATIONS

The Company formed its mortgage servicing unit early in 1993, and as of December
31, 1993, serviced a portfolio of 8,000 mortgage loans with an aggregate
principal balance of $2.4 billion.  Mortgage servicing includes collecting and
accounting for payments of principal and interest from borrowers, remitting such
payments to investors, holding escrow funds for payment of mortgage-related
expenses such as taxes and insurance, making advances to cover delinquent
payments, inspecting the mortgage premises as required, contacting delinquent
mortgagors, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of
unremedied defaults, and generally administering the loans.  The Company
receives fees for servicing residential mortgage loans ranging generally from
0.25 to 0.38 percent per annum on the declining principal balances of the loans.
Servicing fees are collected by the Company out of monthly mortgage payments.

Growth during 1993 was accomplished primarily by retaining mortgage servicing
rights on mortgage loans purchased through the Company's conduit operations.
Beginning in late 1993 the Company began committing to bulk acquisitions of
mortgage servicing rights for both conforming and non-conforming mortgage loan
portfolios.  During 1994 another 110,000 mortgage loans with an aggregate
principal balance of $12.5 billion were added to the portfolio.  At year-end the
mortgage servicing portfolio totaled 116,000 loans with a balance of $14.4
billion, had a weighted average interest rate of 7.16 percent, and delinquencies
of 30 days and over of only 1.1 percent.  The prepayment rate on mortgage loans
held in the mortgage servicing portfolio was a low 7.2 percent during 1994.

Late in 1994 the Company purchased the mortgage servicing rights for an
additional 53,000 mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $5.1
billion that the Company will begin servicing by the end of the first quarter of
1995.  This will bring the total mortgage servicing portfolio to 

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
more than $19 billion. The Company expects the mortgage servicing portfolio to
reach $25 billion before the end of 1995.

EFFECTS OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES

For a discussion of effects of interest rate changes on the Company's mortgage
investment portfolios, CMO investment portfolio and mortgage servicing
portfolio, see the Registrant's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended
December 31, 1994 on pages 50 and 51 under the caption "Management's Discussion
and Analysis - Effects of Interest Rate Changes."

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Company may enter into other short or long term investment strategies as the
opportunities arise.

COMPETITION

In purchasing and pooling mortgage loans and in purchasing other mortgage-
related assets, the Company competes with savings banks, commercial banks,
mortgage and investment bankers, conduits, insurance companies, other lenders,
FNMA and FHLMC, many of whom may have greater financial resources than the
Company.  The competition for the acquisition of mortgage servicing rights is
equally diverse.  Mortgage banking companies, savings banks and commercial banks
all engage in servicing mortgage loans, some for others and some for their own
portfolio.  Additionally, in issuing CMOs or other mortgage-backed securities,
the Company will face competition from other issuers of these securities and the
securities themselves will compete with other investment opportunities available
to prospective purchasers.  An increase in the purchasing of long term mortgage
loans by others may reduce the Company's ability to compete in the purchase of
such loans and may reduce the yields available to the Company.  In addition, if
FHLMC and FNMA were to increase the dollar amount limitation on loans they are
permitted to purchase (currently $203,150), they would be able to purchase a
greater percentage of mortgage loans in the secondary market than they currently
are permitted to acquire, and the Company's ability to maintain or increase its
current acquisition levels could be adversely affected.

REGULATION AND RELATED MATTERS

The Company's mortgage servicing unit is subject to the rules and regulations of
FNMA and FHLMC with respect to securitizing and servicing mortgage loans.  In
addition, there are other Federal and state statutes and regulations affecting
such activities.  Moreover, the Company is required annually to submit audited
financial statements to FNMA and FHLMC and each regulatory entity has its own
financial requirements.  The Company's affairs are also subject to examination
by FNMA and FHLMC at all times to assure compliance with applicable regulations,
policies and procedures.  Many of the aforementioned regulatory requirements are
designed to protect the interests of consumers, while others protect the owners
or insurers of mortgage loans.  Failure to comply with these requirements can
lead to loss of approved status, termination of servicing contracts without
compensation to the servicer, demands for indemnification or loan repurchases,
class action lawsuits and administrative enforcement actions.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1994, the Company had 183 full-time employees.  Until
becoming fully self-administered on October 1, 1993, the Company was managed 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
by Capstead Advisers, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lomas Mortgage USA,
Inc., who provided executive and administrative personnel required by the
Company under the terms of a management agreement.

TAX STATUS

As used herein, "Capstead REIT" refers to CMC and the entities that are
consolidated with CMC for federal income tax purposes.  Capstead REIT has
elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and intends to
continue to do so.  As a result of this election, Capstead REIT will not be
taxed at the corporate level on taxable income distributed to stockholders,
provided that certain requirements concerning the nature and composition of its
income and assets are met and that at least 95 percent of its REIT taxable
income is distributed.

If Capstead REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be
subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates and would not receive a
deduction for dividends paid to stockholders.  If this were the case, the amount
of after-tax earnings available for distribution to stockholders would decrease
substantially.

So long as Capstead REIT qualifies as a REIT, it will generally be taxable only
on its undistributed taxable income.  Distributions out of current or
accumulated earnings and profits will be taxed to stockholders as ordinary
income or capital gain, as the case may be.  Distributions in excess of the
Company's accumulated and current earnings and profits will constitute a non-
taxable return of capital to the stockholders (except insofar as such
distributions exceed the cost basis of the shares of stock) resulting in a
corresponding reduction in the cost basis of the shares of stock.  The Company
notifies its stockholders of the proportion of distributions made during the
taxable year that constitutes ordinary income, capital gain or a return of
capital.  During 1993, 20 percent of distributions made were characterized as
long term capital gains.  Other distributions during the last three years were
characterized as ordinary income.  Distributions by the Company will not
normally be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.
Should the Company incur losses, stockholders will not be entitled to include
such losses in their individual income tax returns.

All taxable income of certain other subsidiaries, including Capstead Inc., which
conduct mortgage servicing and certain securitization operations, are subject to
federal and state income taxes, where applicable.  Capstead REIT's taxable
income will include earnings of these subsidiaries only upon payment to Capstead
REIT by dividend of such earnings.

The foregoing is general in character.  Reference should be made to pertinent
Internal Revenue Code sections and the Regulations issued thereunder for a
comprehensive statement of applicable federal income tax consequences.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.

The Company's operations are conducted primarily in Dallas, Texas on properties
leased by the Company.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

At December 31, 1994 there were no material pending legal proceedings, outside
the normal course of business, to which the Company or its subsidiaries were a
party or of which any of their property was the subject.

                             NOTES TO SCHEDULE XII



(1) Mortgage loans at December 31, 1994 consisted of single-family,
    conventional, first mortgage loans.  The Company classifies its mortgage
    loans by term and interest rate characteristics.  Fixed-rate mortgage loans
    (i) have fixed rates of interest for their entire terms or (ii) have an
    initial fixed-rate period of ten years after origination and then adjust
    annually based on a specified margin over 1-year United States Treasury
    Securities ("1-year Treasuries").  Medium-term mortgage loans (i) have an
    initial fixed-rate period of three or five years after origination and then
    adjust annually based on a specified margin over 1-year Treasuries or (ii)
    have initial interest rates then adjust one time, approximately five years
    following origination of the mortgage loan, based on a specified margin over
    the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") yields for 30-year,
    fixed-rate commitments at the time of adjustment.  Adjustable-rate mortgage
    loans either (i) adjust semi-annually based on a specified margin over the
    6-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or (ii) adjust annually
    based on a specified margin over 1-year Treasuries.  Principal amount of
    mortgage loans in the portfolio totaling $55,464,000, or 3.9 percent, were
    fixed-rate loans; $481,634,000, or 33.8 percent, were medium-term loans; and
    $888,315,000, or 62.3 percent, were adjustable-rate loans.

(2)  Reconciliation of mortgage loans:

(3) Consists of all mortgage loans delinquent 90 days or more. Note that of the
    amount of principal unpaid at the close of the period that is subject to
    delinquent principal, $41.1 million is covered by mortgage pool insurance
    that effectively limits the Company's loss.  Similarly, $19.2 million of the
    amount of mortgages being foreclosed is covered by pool insurance.  For a
    discussion of the Company's exposure to possible loan losses, see the
    Registrant's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31,
    1994 on page 36 under the caption "Note I - Allowance for Possible Losses".

(4) Interest due and accrued at the end of the period and interest income earned
    applicable to the period for each of the categories presented above is not
    available without unreasonable effort or expense and therefore has been
    omitted in accordance with Rule 12-23 of Regulation S-X.  Total accrued
    interest for the above listed mortgage loans totaled $7,911,000 at December
    31, 1994.

                ________________________________________________

     Section 1.  PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

     The purposes of the Capstead Mortgage Corporation 1994 Flexible Long Term
Incentive Plan (the "Plan") are to promote the interests of Capstead Mortgage
Corporation (together with any successor thereto, the "Company") and its
stockholders by enabling the Company to attract, motivate, reward and retain key
employees and to encourage the holding of proprietary interests in the Company
by persons who occupy key positions in the Company or its Affiliates by enabling
the Company to offer such key employees performance-based stock incentives and
other equity interests in the Company and other incentive awards that recognize
the creation of value for the stockholders of the Company and promote the
Company's long-term growth and success.  To achieve this purpose, eligible
persons may receive stock options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock,
Performance Awards, performance stock, Dividend Equivalent Rights and any other
Awards, or any combination thereof.

     Section 2.  DEFINITIONS

     As used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth
below unless the content otherwise requires:

             2.1 "Affiliate" shall mean (i) any corporation, partnership or 
     other entity that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Company 
     (ii) any entity in which the Company has a significant equity interest and
     (iii) any entity that provides substantial management advisory services 
     for the Company, in each case as determined by the Committee.

             2.2 "Award" shall mean a stock option, Stock Appreciation Right,

             2.4 "Change in Control" shall mean, after the effective date of

     required to be reported in response to Item 1 or Item 2 of a Form 8-K 
     Current Report of the Company promulgated pursuant to Sections 13 and 
     15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided that, 
     without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have 
     occurred if (a) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 
     14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any trustee or other 
     fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the 
     Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders
     of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership 
     of stock of the Company), is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined
     in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, directly or indirectly, of 
     securities of the Company representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more 
     of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities 
     or (b) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the 
     beginning of such period constitute the Board cease for any reason to 
     constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election by the Board 
     or the nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved 
     by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in 
     office who either were directors
<PAGE>
 
     at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination for
     election was previously so approved; (ii) the stockholders of the Company
     approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
     corporation, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the
     voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
     continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
     converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than eighty
     percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the
     Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger
     or consolidation; provided, however, that a merger or consolidation
     effected to implement a reorganization or recapitalization of the Company,
     or a similar transaction (collectively, a "Reorganization"), in which no
     "person" acquires more than twenty percent (20%) of the combined voting
     power of the Company's then outstanding securities shall not constitute a
     Change in Control of the Company; or (iii) the stockholders of the Company
     approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for
     the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the
     Company's assets.

     appointed by, and serve at the pleasure of, the Board and who are (i)
     "disinterested" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the General Rules and
     Regulations of the Exchange Act and (ii) "outside directors," as required
     under Section 162(m) of the Code and such Treasury Regulations as may be
     promulgated thereunder.  The Plan shall be administered and interpreted by
     the Committee, which Committee meets the requirements for "disinterested
     administration" within the requirements of Rule 16b-3 and any future rule
     promulgated therefor during the duration of the Plan.  The Board may amend

     Section 3.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

             3.1  Committee.  The Plan shall be administered and interpreted by
     the Committee.

             3.2  Awards.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and directions
     from the Board, the Committee is authorized to:

                  (a)  determine the persons to whom Awards are to be granted;

                  (b)  determine the types and combinations of Awards to be
          granted, the number of Shares to be covered by the Award, the pricing
          of the Award, the time or times when the Award shall be granted and
          may be exercised, the terms, performance criteria or other conditions,
          vesting periods or any restrictions for an Award, any restrictions on
          Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Award and any other
          terms and conditions of an Award;

                  (c)  conclusively interpret the Plan provisions;

                  (d)  prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations 
          relatin to the Plan or make individual decisions as questions arise,
          or both;

                  (e)  determine whether, to what extent and under what
          circumstances to provide loans from the Company to participants in
          order to purchase Shares subject to Awards under the Plan, and the
          terms and conditions of such loans;

                  (f)  rely upon employees of the Company for such clerical and
          record-keeping duties as may be necessary in connection with the
          administration of the Plan; and

                  (g)  make all other determinations and take all other actions
          necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

             3.3  Procedures.  A majority of the Committee members shall 
     constitute a quorum. All determinations of the Committee shall be made by
     a majority of its members. All questions of interpretation and
     application of the Plan or pertaining to any question of fact or Award
     granted hereunder shall be decided by the Committee, whose decision shall
     be final, conclusive and binding upon the Company and each other affected
     party.

     Section 4.   SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

             4.1  Limitations.  The maximum number of Shares that may be issued
     with respect to Awards under the Plan shall not exceed 1,250,000 unless
     such maximum shall be increased or decreased by reason of changes in
     capitalization of the Company as hereinafter provided.  The maximum number
     of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted in any fiscal year to
     any participant in the Plan shall not exceed 300,000.  The Shares issued
     pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares, or may be
     issued Shares which have been reacquired by the Company.

             4.2  Changes.  To the extent that any Award under the Plan, or any
     stock option or performance award granted under any prior incentive plan of
     the Company, shall be forfeited, shall expire or shall be cancelled, in
     whole or in part, then the number of Shares covered by the Award or stock
     option so forfeited, expired or cancelled may again be awarded pursuant to
     the provisions of this Plan.  In the event that Shares are delivered to the
     Company in full or partial payment of the exercise price for the exercise
     of a stock option granted under the Plan or any prior incentive plan of the
     Company, the number

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
     of Shares available for future Awards under the Plan shall be reduced only
     by the net number of Shares issued upon the exercise of the option.  Awards
     that may be satisfied either by the issuance of Shares or by cash or other
     consideration shall be counted against the maximum number of Shares that
     may be issued under the Plan, even though the Award is ultimately satisfied
     by the payment of consideration other than Shares, as, for example, a stock
     option granted in tandem with a Stock Appreciation Right that is settled
     by a cash payment of the stock appreciation.  However, Awards will not
     reduce the number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plan if the
     settlement of the Award will not require the issuance of Shares, as, for
     example, a Stock Appreciation Right that can be satisfied only by the
     payment of cash.

     Section 5.  ELIGIBILITY

     Except with respect to stock options and Stock Appreciation Rights,
eligibility for participation in the Plan shall be confined to a select number
of persons who are employed by the Company, or one or more of its Affiliates,
and who are officers of the Company or one or more of its Affiliates, or who are
in managerial or other key positions in the Company or one or more of its
Affiliates.  In making any determination as to persons to whom Awards shall be
granted, the type of Award, and/or the number of Shares to be covered by the
Award, the Committee shall consider the position and responsibilities of the
person, his or her importance to the Company and its Affiliates, the duties of
such person, his or her past, present and potential contributions to the growth
and success of the Company and its Affiliates, and such other factors as the
Committee shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of
the Plan.  With respect to stock options and Stock Appreciation Rights, all
officers and employees of the Company are eligible for participation in the
Plan.

     Section 6.  STOCK OPTIONS

             6.1  Grants.  The Committee may grant stock options alone or in
     addition to other Awards granted under this Plan to any eligible officer or
     employee.  Each person so selected shall be offered an option to purchase
     the number of Shares determined by the Committee; provided, however, that
     the maximum number of shares for which stock options may be granted during
     any calendar year may not exceed 300,000 Shares for any eligible officer or
     employee.  The Committee shall specify whether such option is an Incentive
     Stock Option or Non-Qualified Stock Option and any other terms or
     conditions relating to such Award.  To the extent that any stock option
     does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (whether because of its
     provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such stock
     option or the portion thereof which does not qualify, shall constitute a
     separate Non-Qualified Stock Option.  Each such person so selected shall
     have a reasonable period of time within which to accept or reject the
     offered option.  Failure to accept within the period so fixed by the
     Committee may be treated as a rejection.  Each person who accepts an option
     shall enter into a written agreement with the Company, in such form as the
     Committee may prescribe, setting forth the terms and conditions of the
     option, consistent with the provisions of the Plan.  The Optionee and the
     Company shall enter into option agreements for Incentive Stock Options and
     Non-Qualified Stock Options.  At any time and from time to time, the
     Optionee and the Company may agree to modify an option agreement in order
     that an Incentive Stock Option may be converted to a Non-Qualified Stock
     Option.

             The Committee may require than an Optionee meet certain conditions
     before the option or a portion thereof may vest or be exercised, as, for
     example, that the Optionee remain in the employ of the Company or one of
     its Affiliates for a stated period or periods of time before the option, or
     stated portions thereof, may vest or be exercised; provided, however, that
     nothing in the Plan or in any option agreement shall confer upon any
     Optionee any right to remain in the employ of the Company or one of its
     Affiliates, and nothing herein shall be construed in any manner to
     interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Affiliates to
     terminate such Optionee's employment at any time.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
          6.2  Option Price.  The option exercise price of the Shares covered by
     each stock option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however,
     that the option exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option or, with
     respect to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company only, a Non-Qualified
     Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
     Market Value of Shares on the date of the grant of such Incentive Stock
     Option.

          6.3  Incentive Stock Options Limitations.

               (a)  In no event shall any person be granted Incentive Stock
          Options so that the Shares covered by any Incentive Stock Options that
          may be exercised for the first time by such person in any calendar
          year have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000.  For
          this purpose, the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined
          as of the dates on which the Incentive Stock Options are granted.  It
          is intended that the limitation on Incentive Stock Options provided in
          this paragraph be the maximum limitation on options which may be
          considered Incentive Stock Options under the Code.

               (b)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event
          shall any employee owning more than ten percent (10%) of the total
          combined voting power of the Company or any Affiliate corporation be
          granted an Incentive Stock Option hereunder unless:   the option
          exercise price shall be at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the
          Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time that the option is granted
          and  the term of the option shall not exceed five (5) years.

          6.4  Option Term.  The term of a stock option shall be for such period
     of months or years from the date of its grant as may be determined by the
     Committee; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall be
     exercisable later than ten (10) years from the date of its grant.  Each
     option shall be subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided
     (unless the Committee has provided otherwise):

               (a)  If the Optionee ceases to be an officer or employee of the
          Company or any Affiliate by reason of the Optionee's discharge for
          cause, as determined solely and exclusively by the Committee, all
          rights of the Optionee to exercise an option shall terminate, lapse
          and be forfeited immediately at the time of the Optionee's discharge
          for cause.

               (b)  If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or
          any Affiliate by reason of the Optionee's resignation, all rights of
          the Optionee to exercise an option shall terminate, lapse and be
          forfeited immediately upon the date of such resignation by the
          Optionee.

               (c)  If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or
          any Affiliate by reason of death, the personal representatives, heirs,
          legatees or distributees of the Optionee, as appropriate, shall have
          the right up to the earlier of (i) two (2) years from the Optionee's
          death or (ii) the remaining term of the option to exercise any such
          option.

               (d)  If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or
          any Affiliate by reason of the Optionee's Retirement, Disability or
          for any reason other than the Optionee's discharge for cause,
          resignation or death, all rights of the Optionee to exercise an option
          shall terminate, lapse, and be forfeited upon the earlier of (i) two
          (2) years after the date of the Optionee's termination of employment
          by reason of such employee's Retirement, Disability or such other
          reason or (ii) the remaining term of the option, except that in case
          the Optionee shall die within two (2) years after the date of
          termination of employment by reason of such employee's Retirement,
          Disability or such other reason, the personal representatives, heirs,
          legatees or distributees of the Optionee, as appropriate, shall have
          the right up to an additional twelve (12) months from the date of the
          Optionee's death to exercise any such option.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
               (e)  Despite the provisions of paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of
          this subsection, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable
          after the expiration of the earlier of: (i) the ten (10) year period
          beginning on the date of its grant, (ii)the three (3) month period
          beginning on the date of the Optionee's termination of employment
          for any reason other than death or Disability, or (iii) the one (1)
          year period beginning on the date of the Optionee's termination of
          employment by reason of Disability.

          6.5  Vesting of Stock Options.

               (a)  Each stock option granted hereunder may only be exercised to
          the extent that the Optionee is vested in such option.  Each stock
          option shall vest separately in accordance with the option vesting
          schedule, if any, determined by the Committee in its sole discretion,
          which will be incorporated in the stock option agreement entered into
          between the Company and each Optionee.  The option vesting schedule
          will be accelerated in the event the provisions of paragraphs (b),
          (c), (d) or (e) of this subsection apply; or if, in the sole
          discretion of the Committee, the Committee determines that
          acceleration of the option vesting schedule would be desirable for the
          Company.

               (b)  If an Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or
          any Affiliate by reason of death, Disability or Retirement or for any
          reason other than the Optionee's resignation or discharge for cause,
          the Optionee or the personal representatives, heirs, legatees or
          distributees of the Optionee, as appropriate, shall become fully
          vested in each stock option granted to the Optionee, effective on the
          date of the Optionee's death or on the date that the Optionee ceases
          to be an employee, as appropriate, and shall have the immediate right
          to exercise any such option to the extent not previously exercised.

               (c)  In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the
          Company, each stock option granted under the Plan shall terminate as
          of a date to be fixed by the Board; provided, however, that not less
          than thirty (30) days' written notice of the date so fixed shall be
          given to each Optionee and each such Optionee shall be fully vested in
          and shall have the right during such period to exercise the option,
          even though such option would not otherwise be exercisable under the
          option vesting schedule.  At the end of such period, any unexercised
          option shall terminate and be of no further effect.

               (d)  In the event of a Reorganization:

                    (1)  If there is no plan or agreement respecting the
               Reorganization, or if such plan or agreement does not
               specifically provide for the change, conversion or exchange of
               the Shares under outstanding and unexercised stock options for
               other securities then the provisions of the above paragraph (c)
               of this subsection shall apply as if the Company had dissolved or
               been liquidated on the effective date of the Reorganization; or

                    (2)  If there is a plan or agreement respecting the
               Reorganization, and if such plan or agreement specifically
               provides for the change, conversion or exchange of the Shares
               under outstanding and unexercised stock options for securities of
               another corporation, then the Board shall adjust the Shares under
               such outstanding and unexercised stock options (and shall adjust
               the Shares remaining under the Plan which are then available to
               be awarded under the Plan, if such plan or agreement makes no
               specific provision therefor) in a manner not inconsistent with
               the provisions of such plan or agreement for the adjustment,
               change, conversion or exchange of such Shares and such options.

<PAGE>
 
               (e)  In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, with
          respect to only certain senior executive officers of the Company (the
          number of which shall include no more than ten (10) persons; provided,
          that a limited number of additional senior executive officers shall
          also be included if each such additional person is approved by the
          Committee and the Board (collectively, the ten senior executive
          officers plus any additional, approved senior executive officers shall
          be referred to herein as the "Senior Officers")), all stock options
          and any associated Stock Appreciation Rights shall become fully vested
          and immediately exercisable and the vesting of all performance-based
          stock options shall be determined as if the performance period or
          cycle applicable to such stock options had ended immediately upon such
          Change in Control.

          6.6  Exercise of Stock Options.

               (a)  Stock options may be exercised as to Shares only in amounts
          and at intervals of time specified in the written option agreement
          between the Company and the Optionee.  Each exercise of a stock
          option, or any part thereof, shall be evidenced by a notice in writing
          to the Company.  The purchase price of the Shares as to which an
          option shall be exercised shall be paid in full at the time of
          exercise, and may be paid to the Company either:

                    (1)  in cash (including check, bank draft or money order);
               or

                    (2)  by the delivery of Shares having a Fair Market Value
               equal to the aggregate option price; or

                    (3)  by a combination of cash and Shares.

               (b)  If an Optionee delivers Shares (including Shares of
          Restricted Stock) already owned by him or her in full or partial
          payment of the exercise price for any stock option granted under the
          Plan or any prior incentive plan of the Company, or if the Optionee
          elects to have the Company retain that number of Shares out of the
          Shares being acquired through the exercise of the option having a
          Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price of the stock option
          being exercised, the Committee may authorize the automatic grant of a
          new option (a "Reload Option") for that number of Shares as shall
          equal the number of already owned Shares surrendered (including Shares
          of Restricted Stock) or newly acquired Shares being retained in
          payment of the option exercise price of the underlying stock option
          being exercised.  The grant of a Reload Option will become effective
          upon the exercise of the underlying stock option.  The option exercise
          price of the Reload Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a Share
          on the effective date of the grant of the Reload Option.  Each Reload
          Option shall be exercisable no earlier than six (6) months from the
          date of its grant and no later than the time when the underlying stock
          option being exercised could be last exercised.  The Committee may
          also specify additional terms, conditions and restrictions for the
          Reload Option and the Shares to be acquired upon the exercise thereof.

               (c)  The amount, as determined by the Committee, of any federal,
          state or local tax required to be withheld by the Company due to the
          exercise of a stock option shall be satisfied, at the election of the
          Optionee, either (a) by payment by the Optionee to the Company of the
          amount of such withholding obligation in cash (the "Cash Method") or
          (b) through either the retention by the Company of a number of Shares
          out of the Shares being acquired through the exercise of the option or
          the delivery of already owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal
          to the amount of the withholding obligation (the "Share Retention
          Method").  If an Optionee elects to use the Share Retention Method in
          full or partial satisfaction for any tax liability resulting from the
          exercise of a stock option, the Committee may authorize the grant of a
          Reload Option for that

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
          number of Shares as shall equal the number of Shares used to satisfy
          the tax liabilities of the stock option being exercised on the price
          and terms set forth in subsection (b) above.  The cash payment or the
          amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares so withheld, as
          the case may be, shall be remitted by the Company to the appropriate
          taxing authorities.  The Committee shall determine the time and manner
          in which an Optionee may elect to satisfy a withholding obligation by
          either the Cash Method or the Share Retention Method.

               (d)  An Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a
          stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares covered by a
          stock option except to the extent that one or more certificates of
          such Shares shall have been delivered to the Optionee, or the Optionee
          has been determined to be a stockholder of record by the Company's
          Transfer Agent, upon due exercise of the option.

          6.7  Date of a Stock Option Grant.  The granting of a stock option
     shall take place only when the Committee approves the granting of such
     option.  Neither any action taken by the Board nor anything contained in
     the Plan or in any resolution adopted or to be adopted by the Board or the
     stockholders of the Company shall constitute the granting of a stock option
     under the Plan.

  Section 7.   STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

          7.1  Grants.  The Committee may grant to any eligible officer or
     employee either Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights or Tandem Stock
     Appreciation Rights.  Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such
     terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose; provided, however, that
     the maximum number of shares (or cash equivalent value) with respect to
     which Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted during any calendar year may
     not exceed 300,000 Shares for any eligible officer or employee.  The grant
     of the Stock Appreciation Right may provide that the holder may be paid for
     the value of the Stock Appreciation Right either in cash or in Shares, or a
     combination thereof, at the discretion of the Committee.  In the event of
     the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right payable in Shares, the holder of
     the Stock Appreciation Right shall receive that number of whole Shares of
     stock of the Company having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of
     exercise equal to the value obtained by multiplying (i) either (a) in the
     case of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, the difference between the Fair
     Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the per share exercise
     price of the related option, or (b) in the case of a Non-Tandem Stock
     Appreciation Right, the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share
     on the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value on the date of the grant
     by (ii) the number of Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is
     exercised.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its
     sole discretion, may place a ceiling on the amount payable upon exercise of
     a Stock Appreciation Right, but any such limitation shall be specified at
     the time that the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.

          7.2  Exercisability.  A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be granted
     at the time of the grant of the related stock option or, if the related
     stock option is a Non-Qualified Stock Option, at any time thereafter during
     the term of the stock option.  A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right granted in
     connection with an Incentive Stock Option (i) generally may be exercised
     at, and only at, the times and to the extent the related stock option is
     exercisable, (ii) expires upon the termination of the related stock option,
     (iii) may not exceed 100% of the difference between the exercise price of
     the related stock option and the market price of the Shares subject to the
     related stock option at the time the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is
     exercised and (iv) may be exercised at, and only at, such times as the
     market price of the Shares subject to the related stock option exceeds the
     exercise price of the related stock option.  The Tandem Stock Appreciation
     Right may be transferred at, and only at, the times and to the extent the
     related stock option is transferable.  If a Tandem Stock Appreciation
     Right is granted, there shall be surrendered and cancelled from the option
     at the time of exercise of the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, in lieu of
     exercise under

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
     the option, that number of Shares as shall equal the number of Shares as to
     which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised.

          7.3  Certain Limitations on Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.  A
     Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable as provided by the
     Committee and will have such other terms and conditions as the Committee
     may determine.  A Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right is subject to
     acceleration of vesting or immediate termination in certain circumstances
     in the same manner as stock options pursuant to subsections 6.4 and 6.5 of
     this Plan.

          7.4  Limited Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Committee is also
     authorized to grant "limited stock appreciation rights," either as Tandem
     Stock Appreciation Rights or Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.  Limited
     stock appreciation rights would become exercisable only upon the occurrence
     of a Change in Control or such other event as the Committee may designate
     at the time of grant or thereafter.

  Section 8.   RESTRICTED STOCK

          8.1  Grants.  The Committee may grant Awards of Restricted Stock for
     no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by
     applicable law, or for such other consideration as may be specified by the
     grant.  The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock shall be specified
     by the grant agreement.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall
     determine what rights, if any, the person to whom an Award of Restricted
     Stock is made shall have in the Restricted Stock during the restriction
     period and the restrictions applicable to the particular Award, including,
     without limitation, whether the holder of the Restricted Stock shall have
     the right to vote the Shares and receive Dividend Equivalent Rights and
     other distributions applicable to the Shares, the vesting schedule (which
     may be based on service, performance or other factors) and rights to
     acceleration of vesting (including, without limitation, whether non-vested
     Shares are forfeited or vested upon termination of employment).  Further,
     the Committee may award performance-based Restricted Stock by conditioning
     the grant, or vesting or such other factors, such as the release,
     expiration or lapse of restrictions upon any such Award (including the
     acceleration of any such conditions or terms) of such Restricted Stock upon
     the attainment of specified performance goals or such other factors as the
     Committee may determine; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
     foregoing, and with respect to the Senior Officers only, upon a Change in
     Control, the amount of granting or vesting, as the case may be, for all
     performance-based Restricted Stock, shall be determined as if the
     performance period or cycle applicable to such Restricted Stock had
     terminated immediately upon such Change in Control; provided, however, that
     to the extent that any such performance period or cycle is shortened
     adversely to the Senior Officers by virtue of the Change in Control, such
     Restricted Stock shall be prorated accordingly.  The Committee shall also
     determine when the restrictions shall lapse or expire and the conditions,
     if any, under which the Restricted Stock will be forfeited or sold back to
     the Company; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, and
     with respect to the Senior Officers only, upon a Change in Control, all
     restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock shall lapse and expire and
     Shares of Restricted Stock with vesting provisions shall become fully
     vested.  Each Award of Restricted Stock may have different restrictions and
     conditions.  The Committee, in its discretion, may prospectively change the
     restriction period and the restrictions applicable to any particular Award
     of Restricted Stock.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Plan, Restricted
     Stock may not be disposed of by the recipient until the restrictions
     specified in the Award expire.  Subject to certain exceptions, the
     aggregate number of nonperformance-based Shares of Restricted Stock that
     may be awarded is limited to three percent (3%) of the aggregate number of
     outstanding Shares of the Company's Common Stock; otherwise, the Committee
     is not limited in the total number of Shares of Restricted Stock that may
     be awarded under the Plan.

          8.2  Awards and Certificates.  Any Restricted Stock issued hereunder
     may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion,
     shall deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry
     registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates.  In the
     event any stock certificate

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
     is issued in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, such
     certificate shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the
     restrictions applicable to such Award.  The Company may retain, at its
     option, the physical custody of any stock certificate representing any
     awards of Restricted Stock during the restriction period or require that
     the Restricted Stock be placed in escrow or trust, along with a stock power
     endorsed in blank, until all restrictions are removed or expire.

     Section 9.   PERFORMANCE AWARDS

             9.1  Grants.  A Performance Award may consist of either or both, as
     the Committee may determine, of (i) "Performance Shares" or the right to
     receive Shares, Restricted Stock or cash of an equivalent value, or any
     combination thereof as the Committee may determine, or (ii) "Performance
     Units," or the right to receive a fixed dollar amount payable in cash,
     Common Stock, Restricted Stock or any combination thereof, as the Committee
     may determine.  The Committee may grant Performance Awards to any eligible
     employee, for no cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may
     be required by applicable law or for such other consideration as may be
     specified at the time of the grant.  The terms and conditions of
     Performance Awards shall be specified at the time of the grant and may
     include provisions establishing the performance period, the performance
     criteria to be achieved during a performance period, the criteria used to
     determine vesting (including the acceleration thereof), whether Performance
     Awards are forfeited or vest upon termination of employment during a
     performance period and the maximum or minimum settlement values; provided,
     however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, and with respect to the Senior
     Officers only, upon a Change in Control, the vesting, if any, and the
     determination of the amount earned of a Performance Award shall be
     determined as if the performance period or cycle applicable to such
     Performance Award had terminated immediately upon such Change in Control;
     provided, however, that to the extent that any such performance period or
     cycle is shortened adversely to the Senior Officers by virtue of the Change
     in Control, such Performance Award shall be prorated accordingly.  Each
     Performance Award shall have its own terms and conditions, which shall be
     determined in the discretion of the Committee.  If the Committee
     determines, in its sole discretion, that the established performance
     measures or objectives are no longer suitable because of a change in the
     Company's business, operations, corporate structure or for other reasons
     that the Committee deems satisfactory, the Committee may modify the
     performance measures or objectives and/or the performance period.

             9.2  Terms and Conditions.  Performance Awards may be valued by
     reference to the Fair Market Value of a Share or according to any formula
     or method deemed appropriate by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
     including, but not limited to, achievement of specific financial,
     production, sales, cost or earnings performance objectives that the
     Committee believes to be relevant to the Company's business and for
     remaining in the employ of the Company for a specified period of time, or
     the Company's performance or the performance of its Common Stock measured
     against the performance of the market, the Company's industry segment or
     its direct competitors.  Performance Awards may be paid in cash, Shares
     (including Restricted Stock) or other consideration, or any combination
     thereof.  If payable in Shares, the consideration for the issuance of the
     Shares may be the achievement of the performance objective established at
     the time of the grant of the Performance Award.  Performance Awards may be
     payable in a single payment or in installments and may be payable at a
     specified date or dates or upon attaining the performance objective, all at
     the Committee's discretion.  The extent to which any applicable performance
     objective has been achieved shall be conclusively determined by the
     Committee.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
     Section 10.  DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS

     The Committee may grant a Dividend Equivalent Right, either as a component
of another Award or as a separate Award, and, in general, each such holder of a
Dividend Equivalent Right that is outstanding on a dividend record date for the
Company's Common Stock shall be credited with an amount equal to the cash or
stock dividends or other distributions that would have been received had the
Shares covered by the Award been issued and outstanding on the dividend record
date.  The terms and conditions of the Dividend Equivalent Right shall be
specified by the grant.  Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a
Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be
reinvested in additional Shares (which may thereafter accrue additional Dividend
Equivalent Rights).  Any such reinvestment shall be at the Fair Market Value at
the time thereof.  Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or Shares,
or a combination thereof, in a single payment or in installments.  A Dividend
Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may provide that such
Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement or payment
for or lapse of restrictions on such other Award, and that such Dividend
Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same
conditions as such other Award.  A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a
component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions different from
such other Award.

     Section 11.  OTHER AWARDS

     The Committee may grant to any eligible employee other forms of Awards
based upon, payable in or otherwise related to, in whole or in part, Shares if
the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that such other form of Award
is consistent with the purposes and restrictions of the Plan.  The terms and
conditions of such other form of Award shall be specified by the grant,
including, but not limited to, the price, if any, and the vesting schedule, if
any.  Such Awards may be granted for no cash consideration, for such minimum
consideration as may be required by applicable law or for such other
consideration as may be specified by the grant.

     Section 12.  NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS.

     A stock option shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution, and a stock option may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee; provided, however, that with the
approval of the Committee, the agreement relating to any Award (including,
without limitation, a stock option) may provide that such Award may be
transferred to one or more members of the immediate family of the grantee of the
Award or to a trust for the benefit of such person or as directed under a
qualified domestic relations order.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition of a stock option or other Award contrary to
the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar
process upon a stock option or other Award shall be null and void and without
effect.

     Section 13.  COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES AND OTHER LAWS

     In no event shall the Company be required to sell or issue Shares under any
Award if the sale or issuance thereof would constitute a violation of applicable
federal or state securities laws or regulations or a violation of any other law
or regulation of any governmental or regulatory agency or authority or any
national securities exchange.  As a condition to any sale or issuance of Shares,
the Company may place legends on Shares, issue stop transfer orders and require
such agreements or undertakings as the Company may deem necessary or advisable
to assure compliance with any such laws or regulations, including, if the
Company or its counsel deems it appropriate, representations from the person to
whom an Award is granted that he or she is acquiring the Shares solely for
investment and not with a view to distribution and that no distribution of the
Shares will be made unless registered pursuant to applicable federal and state
securities laws, or in the opinion of counsel of the Company, such registration
is unnecessary.

<PAGE>
 
     Section 14.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION

          The value of an Award in Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as
follows:

          (a)  Subject to any required action by stockholders, the number of
     Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the exercise price, shall be
     proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
     issued Shares of the Company resulting from a subdivision or consolidation
     of Shares or the payment of a stock dividend (but only in Shares) or any
     other increase or decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt
     of consideration by the Company.

          (b)  Subject to any required action by stockholders, if the Company
     shall be the surviving corporation in any Reorganization, merger or
     consolidation, each outstanding Award shall pertain to and apply to the
     securities to which a holder of the number of Shares subject to the Award
     would have been entitled, and if a plan or agreement reflecting any such
     event is in effect that specifically provides for the change, conversion or
     exchange of Shares, then any adjustment to Shares relating to an Award
     hereunder shall not be inconsistent with the terms of any such plan or
     agreement.

          (c)  In the event of a change in the Shares of the Company as
     presently constituted, which is limited to a change of par value into the
     same number of Shares with a different par value or without par value, the
     Shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the Shares
     within the meaning of the Plan.

          To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or
     securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Board,
     whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

          Except as hereinbefore expressly provided in the Plan, any person to
     whom an Award is granted shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision
     or consolidation of stock of any class or the payment of any stock dividend
     or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any
     class or by reason of any dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, merger
     or consolidation or spinoff of assets or stock of another corporation, and
     any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
     convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
     adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
     exercise price of Shares subject to an Award.

          The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way
     the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
     Reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge
     or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any
     part of its business or assets.

     Section 15.  AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

     15.1  Amendment of the Plan.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the
Plan to the contrary, all provisions of the Plan may at any time or from time
to time be modified or amended by the Board; provided, however, that no Award
at any time outstanding under the Plan may be modified, impaired or cancelled
adversely to the holder of the Award without the consent of such holder; and
provided, further, that the Plan may not be amended without approval by the
holders of a majority of the Shares of the Company represented and voted at a
meeting of the stockholders (a) to increase the maximum number of Shares
subject to the Plan, (b) to materially modify the requirements as to
eligibility for participation in the Plan, (c) to decrease the minimum
exercise price for options, (d) to otherwise materially increase the benefits
accruing to persons to whom Awards may be made under the Plan, as amended, or
(e) if such approval is otherwise necessary, to comply with Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended, or to comply with any other
applicable laws, regulations or listing requirements, or to qualify for an
exemption or characterization that is deemed desirable by the Board.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
 
     15.2  Termination of the Plan.  The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan
at any time, and such suspension or termination may be retroactive or
prospective.  However, no Award may be granted on or after April 22, 2004, the
tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Plan.  Termination of the Plan shall
not impair or affect any Award previously granted hereunder and the rights of
the holder of the Award shall remain in effect until the Award has been
exercised in its entirety or has expired or otherwise has been terminated by the
terms of such Award.

     Section 16.  AMENDMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS TO AWARDS

     The Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award with the
Participant's consent at any time prior to payment or exercise in any manner not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, including, without limitation, (i) to
change the date or dates as of which (A) an option becomes exercisable or (B) a
performance-based Award is deemed earned or (ii) to cancel an Award and grant a
new Award in substitution therefor under such different terms and conditions as
it determines in its sole and complete discretion to be appropriate.  The
Committee is also authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of,
and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring
events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 14
hereof) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any
Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting
principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are
appropriate in order to prevent reduction or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.  Any provision
of the Plan or any agreement regarding an Award to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Committee may cause any Award granted to be cancelled in consideration of a
cash payment or alternative Award made to the holder of such cancelled Award
equal in value to the Fair Market Value of such cancelled Award.  The
determinations of value under this Section 16 shall be made by the Committee in
its sole discretion.

     Section 17.  GENERAL PROVISIONS

     17.1  No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.  Nothing contained in
the Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other
compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally
applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

     17.2  No Right to Employment.  The grant of an Award shall not be construed
as giving the recipient thereof the right to be retained in the employ of the
Company.  Further, the Company may at any time dismiss a participant in the Plan
from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless
otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award agreement.  No
employee, participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any
Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity or treatment of employees,
participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards.

     17.3  GOVERNING LAW.  THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION AND EFFECT OF THE PLAN AND
ANY RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO THE PLAN SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND.

     17.4  Severability.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or
becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any
Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall
be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot
be construed or deemed amended without, in the sole determination of the
Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such
provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award and the
remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and
effect.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
 
     17.5  No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine
whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in
lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights
thereto shall be cancelled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

     17.6  Headings.  Headings are given to the subsections of the Plan solely
as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in
any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan
or any provision thereof.

     17.7  Effective Date.  The Plan shall be effective as of April 22, 1994,
the date of its approval by the holders of a majority of the Shares of the
Company represented and voting at the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If
the Plan is not approved by the stockholders at the 1994 Annual Meeting, after
such date, the Plan and all Awards granted hereunder, if any, shall be void.

                           1994 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN


          Section 1.  PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

          The purposes of the Capstead Inc. 1994 Restricted Stock Plan (the
"Plan") are to promote the interests of Capstead Inc. (together with any
successor thereto, the "Company") and its stockholders, including Capstead
Mortgage Corporation ("CMC"), by enabling the Company and its Affiliates to

     authorized and unissued Shares issued under Awards shall be fully paid and
     non-assessable shares.


          4.2  Changes.  To the extent that any Restricted Stock (whether
     granted by CMC or the Company) shall be forfeited or shall be cancelled, in

CMC, in the case of Awards made by CMC, shall consider the position and
responsibilities of the person, his or her importance to the Company and its
Affiliates, the duties of such person, his or her past, present and potential
contributions to the growth and success of the Company and its Affiliates, and
such other factors as the Committee or CMC, in the case of Awards made by CMC,
shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan.

     Section 6.  RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

          6.1  Awards.  The Committee may make Awards of Restricted Stock for no
     cash consideration, for such minimum consideration as may be required by
     applicable law, or for such other consideration as may be specified by the
     Award.  The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock shall be specified
     by the related Restricted Stock Agreement.  A Recipient of an Award
     (whether or not escrowed as provided below) shall be the record owner of
     the Shares under such Award and shall have all the rights of a stockholder
     with respect to such Shares (unless the related Restricted Stock Agreement
     specifically provides otherwise), and the Recipient shall in all events
     have the right to vote and the right to receive dividends or other
     distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares.  Subject to the
     foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine what
     rights, if any, the Recipient to whom an Award is made shall have in the
     Restricted Stock during the restriction period and the restrictions
     applicable to the particular Award, including, without limitation, the
     vesting schedule (which may be based on service, performance or other
     factors) and rights to acceleration of vesting (including, without
     limitation, whether non-vested Shares are forfeited or vested upon
     termination of employment).  Further, the Committee may award performance-
     based Restricted Stock by conditioning the Award, or vesting or such other
     factors, such as the release, expiration or lapse of restrictions upon any
     such Award (including the acceleration of any such conditions or terms)
     upon the attainment of specified performance goals or such other factors as
     the Committee may determine.  The Committee shall also determine when the
     restrictions shall lapse or expire and the conditions, if any, under which
     the Restricted Stock will be forfeited or sold back to the Company.  Each
     Award may have different restrictions and conditions.  Subject to Section
     10.1 and Section 11, the Committee, in its discretion, may prospectively
     change the restriction period and the restrictions applicable to any
     particular Award.  With respect to any Award made by CMC, CMC shall
<PAGE>

     determine all matters related to such Award that is otherwise specified in
     this Section 6.1 to be determined by the Committee, except as otherwise
     provided in this Plan.

          6.2  Awards and Certificates.  Any Restricted Stock issued hereunder
     may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion,
     shall deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry
     registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates.  In the
     event any stock certificate is issued in respect of Restricted Stock
     awarded hereunder, such certificate shall bear an appropriate legend with
     respect to the restrictions applicable to such Award.  The Company may
     retain, at its option, the physical custody of any stock certificate
     representing any awards of Restricted Stock during the restriction period
     or require that the Restricted Stock be placed in escrow or trust, along
     with a stock power endorsed in blank.

          6.3  Forfeitures.  Any Restricted Stock forfeited under the Plan or an
     Award shall in all events be acquired by the Company whether such Award was
     made by CMC or the Company.

     Section 7.  NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

     Restricted Stock received under an Award shall not be transferable, other
than to the Company, until the later of (a) the date such Restricted Stock is
vested and (b) the earlier of (i) the date, if any, of the Initial Public
Offering of Common Stock and (ii) with respect to Restricted Stock vested as a
result of or before a Change in Control, the date, if any, of a Change in
Control.  Any attempt to Transfer Restricted Stock received under an Award
contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or
similar process upon the Restricted Stock received under an Award shall be null
and void and without effect.

     Except as provided in Section 8, nothing in this Plan will preclude the
Transfer of Restricted Stock, on the Recipient's death, to the Recipient's legal
representatives or estate, nor preclude such representatives from Transferring
any of such Restricted Stock to the person(s) entitled thereto by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, provided, however, that any Restricted Stock
so Transferred as to which such restrictions have not lapsed will remain subject
to all restrictions and obligations imposed on them by this Plan.

     Section 8.  COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES AND OTHER LAWS

     In no event shall the Company or CMC be required to sell or issue Shares
under any Award if the sale or issuance thereof would constitute a violation of
applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations or a violation of any
other law or regulation of any governmental or regulatory agency or authority or
any national securities exchange.   As a condition to any sale or issuance of
Shares, the Company may place legends on Shares, issue stop transfer orders, and
require such agreements, undertakings and representations from the person to
whom an Award is granted and, if applicable, such person's prospective
transferee, in each such case as the Company may deem necessary or advisable to
assure compliance with any such laws or regulations.

     Section 9.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION

     Restricted Stock granted pursuant to an Award shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time by reason of changes in capitalization,
reorganization or other events as provided in the related Restricted Stock
Agreement.

     Except as provided in a Restricted Stock Agreement and except for rights
that all holders of Common Stock shall have, any person to whom an Award is made
shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of stock of
any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease
in the number of shares of stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution,
liquidation, reorganization, merger or consolidation or spinoff of assets or
stock of another corporation, and any issue by the Company of shares of stock of
any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number of Shares subject to an Award.
<PAGE>

     A grant of Restricted Stock pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any
way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
Reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or
to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of
its business or assets.

     Section 10.  AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

          10.1 Amendment of the Plan.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the
     Plan to the contrary, all provisions of the Plan may at any time or from
     time to time be modified or amended by the Board; provided, however, that
     no Award at any time outstanding under the Plan may be modified, impaired
     or cancelled adversely to the holder of the Award without the consent of
     such holder; and provided, further, that the Plan may not be amended
     without approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
     of the Company represented and voted at a meeting of the stockholders if
     such approval is otherwise necessary, to comply, if deemed desirable by the
     Board, with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or to comply
     with any other applicable laws, regulations or listing requirements, or to
     qualify for an exemption or characterization that is deemed desirable by
     the Board; and provided, further, that the Plan may not be amended without
     approval of CMC.

          10.2 Termination of the Plan.  The Board may suspend or terminate the
     Plan at any time, and such suspension or termination may be retroactive or
     prospective.  However, no Award may be made on or after July 1, 2004, the
     tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Plan.  Termination of the Plan
     shall not impair or affect any Award previously made hereunder and the
     rights of the holder of the Award shall remain in effect until the Award
     has vested in its entirety or has expired or otherwise has been terminated
     by the terms of the related Restricted Stock Agreement.

     Section 11.  AMENDMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS TO AWARDS

     The Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award with the
Recipient's consent at any time prior to vesting in any manner not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, including, without limitation, (i) to change the
date or dates as of which a performance-based Award is deemed earned or (ii) to
cancel an Award and make a new Award in substitution therefor under such
different terms and conditions as it determines in its sole and complete
discretion to be appropriate, subject to the other provisions of this Plan.  The
Committee is also authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of,
and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring
events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 9 hereof)
affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any
Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting
principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are
appropriate in order to prevent reduction or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.  Any provision
of the Plan or any agreement regarding an Award, including without limitation a
Restricted Stock Agreement, to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may
cause any Award made to be cancelled (to the extent not vested) in consideration
of a cash payment or alternative Award made to the holder of such cancelled
Award equal in value to the Book Value of such cancelled Award.  The
determinations of value under this Section 11 shall be made by the Committee in
its sole discretion.

     Section 12.  GENERAL PROVISIONS

          12.1 No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.  Nothing contained
     in the Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect
     other compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either
     generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

          12.2 No Right to Employment.  An Award of Restricted Stock shall not
     be construed as giving the Recipient the right to be retained in the employ
     of the Company or any Affiliate.  Further, the Company and any Affiliate
     may at any time dismiss a Recipient from employment, free from any
     liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided
     in the Plan or in the related Restricted Stock Agreement.  No employee,
     participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any
<PAGE>
 
     Restricted Stock, and there is no obligation for uniformity or treatment of
     employees, participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards.

          12.3 GOVERNING LAW.  THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION AND EFFECT OF THE PLAN
     AND ANY RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO THE PLAN SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
     ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

          12.4 Severability.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or
     becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
     jurisdiction or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or
     any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision
     shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if
     it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the sole determination
     of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award,
     such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award
     and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force
     and effect.

          12.5 No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or
     delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall
     determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or
     transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional
     Shares or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated or otherwise
     eliminated.

          12.6 Headings.  Headings are given to the subsections of the Plan
     solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.  Such headings shall not
     be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or
     interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

          12.7 Effective Date.  The Plan shall be effective as of July 1, 1994.

made available to a select group of individuals designated by the Compensation
Committee who provide services to the Company in key positions of management and
responsibility and who are eligible to make contributions to CapSave, the amount

                                ACCOUNT EARNINGS

     5.1 Interest. At the end of each calendar year, the amount of interest to
be added to the balance of the Participant's account shall equal the sum of:

          (a) the Company's Return on Stockholders' Equity for such calendar
year multiplied by the Participant's account balance, if any, on the first day
of such calendar year; and
          (b) the Company's Return On Stockholder's Equity (ROE) for such
calendar year multiplied by the Participant's weighted average contributions (as
defined below) made during such calendar year.

     "Weighted average contributions" is determined by (i) multiplying the
contribution made in a particular month by the number of months remaining in the
calendar year, (ii) adding the results, and (iii) dividing the sum by twelve.

     5.2 Interest Rate. The rate of interest credited to all Participant
deferrals and Company contributions pursuant to Article IV of the Plan and
subsequent earnings credited to the Account shall be credited with an interest
rate equal to the Company's annual ROE. ROE shall be calculated by the Company
and certified by the Compensation Committee for the Plan Year within thirty (30)
days following the end of a Plan Year.

          (a) a lump sum cash payment, or
          (b) equal annual cash installments over a period of two (2) to fifteen

Balance remaining each year of the remaining years.

     A Participant must elect the form of Retirement Distribution under Section
6.1(a) or 6.1(b) no later than twenty four (24) months preceding retirement,

sum cash payment or annual installments from two to fifteen years to the

any Company contributions and interest to which the Participant would have been
entitled for the Plan Year in which his death occurs within sixty (60) days
following the end of such Plan Year.

6.2 of the Plan include Company contributions pursuant to Article IV that are
not Vested.

                                  ARTICLE VLL
                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

     7.1 Unfunded Obligation. The deferred amounts to be paid to Participants
pursuant to this Plan are unfunded obligations of the Company. The Company is
not required to segregate any monies from its general funds, to create any
trusts, or to make any special deposits with respect to this obligation. Title
to and beneficial ownership of any investments including trust investments which
the Company may make to fulfill this obligation shall at all times remain in the
Company. Any investments and the creation or maintenance of any trust or
memorandum accounts shall not create or constitute a trust or a fiduciary
relationship between the Compensation Committee or the Company and a
Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any
Participant or his Beneficiary of his creditors in any assets of the Company
whatsoever,

     7.2 Binding Effect. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and upon the successors and assigns of the
Company, and upon the heirs and legal representatives of the Participant.

     7.3 Beneficiary Designation. While covered under this Plan, the Participant
may from time to time designate, in writing, any person or entity, contingently
or successively to whom the Company shall pay the Account Balance pursuant to
Article Vl in the event of the Participant's death. If the Participant fails to
designate a Beneficiary or if the Beneficiary predeceases the Participant, then
benefits shall be payable to the Participant's estate.

     7.4 Assignment of Rights. None of the rights to the benefits under this
Plan are assignable by the Participant or any Beneficiary or designee of the
Participant, and any attempt to anticipate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge,
encumber, or change the Participant's right to receive any benefits of this plan
shall be void.

     7.5 Plan Administration. The Compensation Committee, or its named
Administrator, shall have administration authority to control and manage the
operation and administration of this Plan.

     The Administrator shall make all determinations as to rights to benefits
under this Plan.  Any decision by the Administrator denying a claim made the
Participant or by a 
<PAGE>
 
Beneficiary for benefits under this Plan shall be stated in writing and
delivered or mailed to the Participant or such Beneficiary. Such statement shall
set forth the specific reasons for the denial, written to the best of the
Administrator's ability in a manner that may be understood without legal or
actuarial counsel. In addition, the Administrator shall afford a reasonable
opportunity to the Participant or such Beneficiary for a full and fair review of
the decision denying such claim.

     Subject to the foregoing, the Compensation Committee shall have full power
and authority to interpret, construe, administer and, if necessary, to modify in
limited circumstances, this Plan.  No member of the Board shall, in any event,
be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the
interpretation, construction or administration of this Plan, so long as such
action or omission to act be made in good faith.

     7.6 Incapacity of Participant or Beneficiary. If the Compensation Committee
finds that any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a payment is payable under the
Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident or
is under a legal disability, any payment due (unless a prior claim therefor
shall have been made by a duly appointed legal representative) at the discretion
of the Committee, may be paid to the spouse, child, parent or brother or sister
of such Participant or Beneficiary or to any person whom the committee has
determined has incurred expense for such Participant or Beneficiary. Any such
payment shall be a complete discharge of the obligations of the Company under
the provisions of the Plan.

     7.7 Funding. The Company's obligations under this Plan shall be an unfunded
and unsecured promise to pay. The Company shall not be obligated under any
circumstances to fund or otherwise secure its obligations under this Plan. Under
no circumstances will the Company, without the consent of the Participant, cause
this Plan to be directly funded in whole or part through escrow, trust, or
otherwise such as to create a taxable event to the Participant or the
Participant's Beneficiary.

     7.8 Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time, or from time to
time, amend this Plan in any respect or terminate this Plan without restriction
and without consent of any Participant or beneficiary, provided that any such
amendment or termination shall not impair the right of any Participant or any
Beneficiary of any then deceased Participant to receive benefits earned and
vested hereunder prior to such amendment or termination without the consent of
such Participant or such Beneficiary.

     7.9 Gender and Number. The masculine pronoun wherever used shall include
the feminine. Wherever any words are used herein in the singular, they shall be
construed as though they were also used in the plural in all cases where they
shall so apply.

     7.10 Law Governing. This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Texas.

Stockholders and Board of Directors
Capstead Mortgage Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Capstead Mortgage
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related 
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each 
of the three years in the period ended December 31,1994. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the finacial statements. An audit also includes 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Capstead Mortgage Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                               December 31, 1994

NOTE  A  -  BUSINESS

Capstead Mortgage Corporation, together with certain affiliated entities,
operates as a mortgage conduit which purchases, securitizes and invests in
various types of single-family residential  mortgage  loans.  In addition, the
Company has formed a mortgage servicing unit to function as the primary mortgage
servicer for loans and mortgage servicing rights acquired by the Company.

Note  B  -  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capstead Mortgage
Corporation ("Capstead"), its mortgage servicing subsidiary ("Capstead Inc."),
its special-purpose finance subsidiaries and certain other entities
(collectively, the "Company").  Intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.  Substantially all of the assets of the special-purpose finance
subsidiaries are pledged to secure collateralized mortgage securities and are
not available for the satisfaction of general claims of Capstead.  Capstead
has no obligation for the collateralized mortgage securities beyond the assets
pledged as collateral.  

Securities Held-to-Maturity and Available-for-Sale

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the
time of purchase or securitization and reevaluates such designation as of
each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when
the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity.  Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Marketable
equity securities and debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are
classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities are stated at
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate
component of stockholders' equity.

The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts over
the estimated life of the security. Such amortization is included in interest
income.  Interest and dividends are included in interest income and other
revenues, respectively.  Realized gains and losses are included in other
revenues.  The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification
method. 

Mortgage Assets

Mortgage investments and mortgage securities collateral held in the form of
mortgage-backed securities are debt securities and classified as either held-to-
maturity or available-for-sale. Mortgage investments held in the form of
mortgage loans are carried at their unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized
discount or premium and adjusted for deferred hedging gains or losses, if any.
The Company may, from time to time, hold mortgage loans for sale. Mortgage loans
held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market on an aggregate basis.
The cost of these mortgage loans is adjusted for gains or losses generated from
corresponding hedging transactions, if any, prior to the lower of cost or market
valuation.  Transfers from loans held for sale to loans held for investment are
recorded at the lower of cost or market. Interest 

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
income, net of servicing fees, is recorded as income when earned. Any discount
or premium is recognized as an adjustment to interest income by the interest
method over the life of the related mortgage loan.

Mortgage assets are subject to changes in value because of changes in interest
rates and rates of prepayment as well as failure of the mortgagor to perform
under the mortgage agreement. The Company manages its exposure to these risks by
the issuance of collateralized mortgage securities, the acquisition of mortgage
pool and special hazard insurance, forward sale agreements and other strategies.

Hedging Activities

The Company may enter into forward sales of Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA") mortgage-backed securities to reduce exposure to interest
rate risk primarily on fixed-rate mortgage loans which it has purchased or has
committed to purchase prior to either the placement of permanent financing or
sale of such loans.  These forward sale agreements generally have terms of not
more than 90 days.  Gains and losses on these hedging transactions are deferred
as an adjustment to the carrying value of the related mortgage loans and
amortized into interest income using the effective yield method over the
expected remaining life of the mortgage loans or taken into income on the date
of sale.    

Allowance for Possible Losses

The Company provides for possible losses due to (i) mortgagor default on
mortgage loans not covered by mortgage pool insurance, (ii) fraud in the
origination of mortgage loans, (iii) special hazards on mortgage loans not
covered by special hazard insurance, and (iv) higher than anticipated
prepayments on other mortgage securities.    

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less.

Purchased Mortgage Servicing Rights

The cost of acquiring mortgage servicing rights is capitalized and then
amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing
income. Estimated net servicing income is evaluated periodically and adjustments
are made to the rate of amortization.

Borrowings

Collateralized mortgage securities and short term borrowings are carried at
their unpaid principal balances, net of unamortized discount or premium. Any
discount or premium is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense by the
interest method over the expected term of the related borrowings.

Mortgage Servicing Revenues

Mortgage servicing revenues represent fees received for servicing mortgage
loans.  Servicing fees are calculated on the basis of the outstanding monthly
principal balance of mortgage loans serviced and are recognized as income when
collected.

Income Taxes

Capstead and its qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT") subsidiaries
("qualified REIT subsidiaries") have elected to be taxed as a REIT and intend to
continue to do so.  As a result of this election, Capstead is not taxed on
taxable income distributed to stockholders, provided that certain REIT
qualification tests are met.  Currently, it is Capstead's policy to distribute
100 percent of taxable income of the REIT within the time limits prescribed by
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), which may extend into the subsequent
taxable year. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes for
Capstead and its qualified REIT subsidiaries.

Capstead's non-REIT subsidiaries, principally Capstead Inc. and subsidiaries,
file a separate federal income tax return.  The January 1, 1993 adoption of the
liability method of accounting for income taxes had no cumulative effect on the
consolidated financial statements.  

Net Income Per Share

Primary net income per share is computed by dividing net income, after deduction
of preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares
and common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Fully diluted net
income per share is computed by dividing net income, after deducting dividends
on the $1.26 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B ("Series B
Preferred Stock"), by the weighted average number of common shares and common
stock equivalents outstanding during the year, assuming conversion of the $1.60
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A ("Series A Preferred Stock"). The Series B
Preferred Stock is not considered convertible for purposes of calculating fully
diluted net income per share as it is currently antidilutive.  

Reclassification

Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 1994
presentation.

The Company classifies its mortgage investments by term and interest rate
characteristics of the underlying mortgage loans.  Fixed-rate mortgage
investments (i) have fixed rates of interest for their entire terms or (ii) have
an initial fixed-rate period of ten years after origination and then adjust
annually based on a specified margin over 1-year United States Treasury
Securities ("1-year Treasuries").  Medium-term mortgage investments (i) have an
initial fixed-rate period of three or five years after origination and then
adjust annually based on a specified margin over 1-year Treasuries or (ii) have
initial interest rates that adjust one time, approximately five years following
origination of the mortgage loan, based on a specified margin over the FNMA
yields for 30-year, fixed-rate commitments at the time of adjustment.
Adjustable-rate mortgage investments either (i) adjust semi-annually based on a
specified margin over the 6-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or
(ii) adjust annually based on a specified margin over 1-year Treasuries.  Fixed-
rate and adjustable-rate mortgage agency securities consist of mortgage-backed
securities issued by government-sponsored entities, either the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), FNMA or the Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA"). Callable agency notes are unsecured, 3-year, fixed-rate
notes issued by FHLMC, FNMA, or the Federal Home Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB") and
mature in 1997, unless redeemed earlier by FHLMC, FNMA or FHLBB.

At December 31, 1994 the AAA-rated private mortgage pass-through securities
("Mortgage Pass-Throughs") portfolio, the agency securities portfolio, and
substantially all of the mortgage loan portfolio were pledged to secure short
term borrowings.  As of December 31, 1994, outstanding commitments to purchase
mortgage loans were approximately $37 million. All mortgage loans were held for
investment at December 31, 1994.

For hedging purposes the Company had outstanding forward sales agreements with
an aggregate gross contract amount of $65 million at December 31, 1994. These
hedge positions were terminated in January 1995 at a loss of $202,000, which was
deferred as an adjustment of the carrying value of the related mortgage loans.
Included in mortgage securities collateral at December 31, 1994 was
approximately $5.6 million of net realized gains that have been deferred related
to hedging activities.

NOTE  D  -  MORTGAGE SECURITIES COLLATERAL

Mortgage securities collateral consists primarily of collateral pledged to
secure borrowings through collateralized mortgage securities.  All principal and
interest on the collateral is remitted directly to a collection account
maintained by a trustee.  The trustee is responsible for reinvesting those funds
in short term investments.  All collections on the collateral and the
reinvestment income earned thereon are available for the payment of principal
and interest on the collateralized mortgage securities.

</TABLE> 

The Company services mortgage loans in all 50 states and the District of
Columbia.  As of December 31, 1994, 22 percent of loans serviced and loans
pending transfer were located in California (based on the unpaid principal
balances).

In connection with mortgage servicing activities, the Company maintains
segregated escrow deposits which are held in bank trust accounts.  At December
31, 1994 and 1993, escrow and fiduciary funds for loans being serviced
approximated $163 million and $41 million, respectively, and are excluded from
the accompanying balance sheet.

NOTE  F  -  COLLATERALIZED  MORTGAGE  SECURITIES

Each series of collateralized mortgage securities 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.

</TABLE> 

The maturity of each series of securities is directly affected by the rate of
principal prepayments on the related mortgage securities collateral. Each series
of securities is also subject to redemption at the Company's option provided
that certain requirements specified in the related indenture have been met
(referred to as "clean-up calls"). As a result, the actual maturity of any
series of securities is likely to occur earlier than its stated maturity. The
average effective interest rate for all collateralized mortgage securities was
7.49 percent and 9.05 percent during the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

NOTE G  -  SHORT TERM BORROWINGS

Short term borrowings are primarily made under repurchase arrangements. At
December 31, 1994 the Company had uncommitted repurchase facilities with
investment banking firms of approximately $5.5 billion to finance the mortgage
loan and Mortgage Pass-Through portfolios, subject to certain conditions.
Interest rates on borrowings under these facilities are based on overnight to
30-day LIBOR rates. The Company also enters into repurchase and dollar
repurchase arrangements with investment banking firms pursuant to which the
Company pledges agency securities and other mortgage assets. The terms and
conditions of these arrangements, including interest rates, are negotiated on a
transaction-by-transaction basis. Other arrangements the Company may use include
repurchase transactions prior to the issuance of collateralized mortgage
securities ("CMOs") or publicly-offered, multi-class mortgage pass-through
certificates ("MPCs") whereby the Company may pledge the mortgage loans that are
expected to secure the issuance as collateral for a repurchase transaction with
the managing underwriter of the related issuance.

Repurchase and dollar repurchase arrangements, which had maturities of less than
31 days, and the related average effective interest rates are classified by type
of collateral as follows (dollars in thousands):

At December 31, 1994 the Company had a $120 million committed line of credit
with an investment banking firm secured by purchased mortgage servicing rights.
Advances have separate maturities and rates of interest with interest due
monthly. Interest rates on advances under this facility are based on LIBOR rates
related to the term of the advance. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had
drawn $10 million on this line of credit at an interest rate of 7.24 percent.

Accrued interest on short term borrowings totaled $4,934,000 at December 31,
1994. The weighted average effective interest rate on all short term borrowings
was 4.64 percent and 3.40 percent during 1994 and 1993, respectively.

NOTE H - DISCLOSURES REGARDING FAIR VALUES
         OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values of financial instruments 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,
the 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 the
estimated fair values.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts
payable approximates fair value.  The fair value of equity securities is based
on quoted market prices. The fair value of mortgage assets was estimated using
either (i) quoted market prices when available, including quotes made by lenders
in connection with designating collateral for repurchase arrangements, (ii)
offer prices by the Company for similar mortgage assets, or (iii) expected
securitization results.  The fair value of collateralized mortgage securities is
dependent upon the characteristics of the mortgage securities collateral pledged
to secure the issuance.  Therefore, fair value was based on the same method used
for determining fair value for the underlying mortgage securities collateral
adjusted for credit enhancements.  The carrying amount of short term borrowings
approximates fair value.  The following table summarizes fair values of
financial instruments (in thousands):

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" ("SFAS 115") as of January 1, 1994. In accordance with SFAS 115,
prior period financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change
in accounting principle.  There was no cumulative effect as of January 1, 1994
of adopting SFAS 115 on net income.  The opening balance of stockholders' equity
was increased by $7,512,000 to reflect net unrealized holding gains on
securities classified as available-for-sale that were previously carried at
amortized cost.

(1)  The investment in medium-term Mortgage Pass-Throughs was transferred to the
     held-to-maturity classification during the third quarter. As a result, the
     unrealized loss at the transfer date remains as a component of the recorded
     mark-to-market for available-for-sale securities at December 31, 1994,
     which is being amortized over the remaining life of these investments.

(2) All mortgage securities collateral has been permanently financed through the
     issuance of collateralized mortgage securities and, as a result, the
     exposure to changes in the fair value of the underlying assets (and
     liabilities) is limited. For this reason, the table above presents the fair
     value of the projected net cash flows of the mortgage securities collateral
     after payments on the related collateralized mortgage securities discounted
     at market rates and prepayment assumptions.

The maturity of mortgage assets is directly affected by the rate of principal
prepayments by mortgagors and clean-up calls by issuers of remaining debt
securities outstanding. Included in mortgage securities collateral is $4,646,000
and $33,277,000 of collateral released from the related indentures at December
31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  During 1994, $77,087,000 of mortgage
securities collateral previously released from the related indentures pursuant
to clean-up calls was sold at gross realized gains aggregating $2,938,000.
During 1994 available-for-sale securities totaling $16,695,000 (cost basis) were
sold at gross realized gains aggregating $6,223,000.

NOTE  I  -  ALLOWANCE  FOR  POSSIBLE  LOSSES

The Company has limited exposure to losses on mortgage loans.  Losses due to
typical mortgagor default may be reduced by the acquisition of mortgage pool
insurance from AAA-rated mortgage pool insurers, which supplements primary
mortgage insurance, if any, and homeowner equity, if any. The amount of coverage
under mortgage pool insurance policies is the amount (typically 7 to 15 percent
of the aggregate amount in such pool of mortgage loans) determined by one or
more national statistical rating agencies necessary to allow the related
securities to be rated AAA when combined with homeowner equity or other
insurance coverage.

Certain other risks, however, are not covered by mortgage pool insurance and may
subject the Company to losses.  These risks include fraud or misrepresentation
during origination of a mortgage loan and special hazards that are not covered
by standard hazard insurance policies (e.g., earthquakes).  In cases of fraud,
the Company generally will not be able to recover its losses from the mortgage
insurance company, but will generally have recourse to the prior owner of a loan
based on representations and warranties made at the time the loan was purchased.
However, to the extent the prior owner does not perform its repurchase
obligation, the Company may incur a loss.  Special hazards are typically
catastrophic events that are unable to be predicted.  The Company limits its
exposure to special hazard losses by acquiring special hazard insurance coverage
from a AAA-rated insurer.  As of December 31, 1994, 50 percent of the Company's
mortgage assets (excluding agency securities) were covered by a special hazard
insurance policy.  Management does not believe that fraud or special hazard
risks pose a material exposure to the Company; however, underwriting guidelines,
correspondents selling mortgage loans to the Company, as well as the geographic
concentration of its mortgage assets are continually monitored for possible
changes in risk levels.

In late 1993 the Company began issuing CMOs in a senior/subordinate structure
(in lieu of purchasing mortgage pool insurance and special hazard insurance)
where the investor in the subordinate classes assumes credit and special hazard
risks.  The Company has retained an aggregate of approximately $2.2 million of
credit and special hazard risk on certain of these issuances. Actual losses to
the Company due to this risk are dependent upon the timing and magnitude of
related collateral defaults. The Company does not currently anticipate a need to
increase its provision for possible losses for this risk.

Activity in the allowance for possible losses was as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 1994, approximately 49 percent of mortgage assets (excluding
agency securities) were secured by properties located in California.  Exposure
arising from this geographic concentration is reduced by either the acquisition
of mortgage pool insurance and special hazard insurance or the use of the
senior/subordinate structure for securitizations. 

NOTE  J  -  ACQUISITION

On December 2, 1992 the Company acquired the net assets of Tyler Cabot Mortgage
Securities Fund, Inc. ("Tyler Cabot"), a diversified, closed-end management
investment    company, in exchange for 29,429,815 shares of the Company's Series
B Preferred Stock. The   acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the assets and liabilities have been recorded based on their fair
value at the date of acquisition.  The net income earned on the assets and
liabilities acquired have been included in the consolidated statement of income
from the date of the acquisition.

NOTE  K  -  INCOME  TAXES

Capstead and its qualified REIT subsidiaries file a separate federal income tax
return which does not include the operations of the non-REIT subsidiaries.
Provided all taxable income of Capstead and its qualified REIT subsidiaries is
distributed to stockholders within time limits prescribed by the Code, no income
taxes are due on this income.  Taxable income of the non-REIT subsidiaries is
fully taxable.  The Company's effective tax rate will, therefore, differ
substantially from statutory federal income tax rates as depicted in the
following reconciliation  (in thousands):

The increase in net deferred tax assets during 1994 (before the valuation
allowance) is primarily the result of the transfer of the mortgage
servicing operation from Capstead to Capstead Inc. and the corresponding
reorganization of the non-REIT subsidiaries.

At December 31, 1994 the non-REIT subsidiaries had net operating loss
carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $78 million, which expire
beginning in the year 2006. In addition to net operating loss carryforwards, the
non-REIT subsidiaries have capital loss carryforwards of approximately $6
million, which expire in 1996 .

NOTE  L  -  STOCKHOLDERS'  EQUITY

The Series A Preferred Stock issued in connection with a 1989 acquisition is
nonvoting. Each share is entitled to a cumulative fixed dividend at an annual
rate of $1.60 and is eligible for conversion into 9/10 of one share of common
stock.  The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $16.40 per
share and is currently redeemable at the Company's option, in whole or in part,
at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference.  During 1994, 112,205
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 100,983 shares of
common stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock issued in connection with the acquisition of Tyler
Cabot is nonvoting.  Each share is entitled to a cumulative fixed dividend at an
annual rate of $1.26 and is eligible for conversion into 0.3196 of one share of
common stock.  The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of
$11.38 per share and is redeemable at the Company's option, in whole or in part,
at a redemption price of $12.50 after December 2, 1997.  During 1994, 1,762
shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 563 shares of common
stock.

In February 1992 the Company received $61,643,000 in net proceeds from the
offering of 2,046,000 shares of common stock.  Proceeds from the offering were
used to acquire mortgage assets.  On July 31, 1992 the Company issued a six-year
option to Lomas Financial Corporation ("LFC"), an affiliate of the former
manager, for the purchase of 750,000 shares of common stock at a price of $32.63
per share.  The option became 100 percent exercisable in 1994.

During 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Company issued 20,746, 10,362, and 17,408 shares
of common stock through its dividend reinvestment plan on which net proceeds of
$534,000, $395,000 and $526,000 were received, respectively.  During 1994 and
1993 the Company also issued 481,384 and 381,473 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock through its dividend  reinvestment plan for Series B stockholders on which
net proceeds were received of $5,254,000 and $4,662,000, respectively.

The Company's Charter provides that if the Board of Directors determines in good
faith that the direct or indirect ownership of stock of Capstead has become
concentrated to an extent which would cause Capstead to fail to qualify as a
REIT, the Company may redeem or repurchase, at fair market value, any number of
shares of common stock and/or preferred stock sufficient to maintain or bring
such ownership into conformity with the Code and may refuse to transfer or issue
shares of common stock and/or preferred stock to any person whose acquisition
would result in Capstead being unable to comply with the requirements of the
Code.  In addition, the

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
Charter provides that the Company may redeem or refuse to transfer any shares of
capital stock of Capstead necessary to prevent the imposition of a penalty tax
as a result of ownership of such shares by certain disqualified organizations,
including governmental bodies and tax-exempt entities that are not subject to
tax on unrelated business taxable income.

NOTE  M  -  EMPLOYEE  BENEFIT  PLANS

The Company sponsors two stock option plans, the 1990 Directors' Stock Option
Plan (the "Directors' Plan") and the 1990 Employee Stock Option Plan. The
Company also sponsors the 1994 Flexible Long Term Incentive Plan, which provides
for the issuance of stock options and other incentive-based stock awards.  These
plans provide for the issuance of up to 160,000, 240,000 and 1,250,000 shares,
respectively, of common stock.  During 1994 the Company granted to employees
567,000 stock options pursuant to the 1994 Flexible Long Term Incentive Plan.
This grant, as well as options granted pursuant to the two stock option plans,
provide for the annual granting of dividend equivalent rights which permit the
option holder to obtain additional shares of common stock based upon formulas
set forth in the plans.  Activity in the plans is summarized as follows:

NOTE  N - MANAGEMENT AND  NON-COMPETITION  AGREEMENTS 

Since its inception in 1985 and through September 30, 1993, the Company operated
under a management agreement with a subsidiary (the "Manager") of Lomas Mortgage
USA, Inc. ("LMUSA"). The agreement provided that the Manager advise the Company
with respect to all facets of its business and administer its day-to-day
operations under the supervision of the Board of Directors. The Manager paid,
among other things, salaries and benefits of its personnel, accounting fees and
expenses, other office expenses and expenses incurred in supervising and
monitoring the Company's investments. During the period from inception through
July 31, 1992, the Manager received management and incentive fees based on
average invested assets and return on common stockholders' equity.

Effective August 1, 1992 the Company entered into a 65-month management
agreement with the Manager.  Under the agreement, the management fee was limited
to an amount equal to the Manager's cost plus a fixed profit aggregating
$14,500,000 over the term of the agreement.  Capstead also entered into a 65-
month non-competition agreement with LFC, the parent company of LMUSA, in return
for payments aggregating $7 million.  In March, and again in September of 1993,
the Company negotiated amendments to these  agreements to shorten their terms
and lower the required payments by $1,972,000.  Consequently, on October 1, 1993
the Company became fully self-administered.  Termination costs incurred in 1993
under the terms of the amended management agreement totaled $7,528,000.  Also
included in 1993 management fees and termination costs is $4,363,000 of
unamortized amounts paid under the non-competition agreement.

(1) On December 2, 1992 the Company acquired the common stock of Tyler Cabot
    Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. in exchange for 29,429,815 shares of the
    Series B Preferred Stock. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
    purchase and the net income earned on the assets and liabilities acquired
    have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income from the date of
    the acquisition.

(2) During the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, 1,382,551 and 3,140,304
    shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 1,244,261 and
    2,826,256 shares of common stock, respectively. If these conversions had
    occurred at the beginning of the respective years, primary net income per
    share would have been $3.32 and $2.60 per share for the years ended December
    31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company purchased 6,888 mortgage
loans totaling $1.9 billion compared to purchases of 14,089 mortgage loans
totaling $4.4 billion during 1993.  Purchase and commitment volumes have fallen
significantly due to increases in mortgage interest rates and corresponding
declines in mortgage loan originations. Improvement in the overall United States
economy and resulting inflation fears have caused interest rates on 30-year
single-family jumbo mortgage loans to rise almost three percentage points during
1994.  This increase in interest rates has had the effect of substantially
reducing single-family mortgage originations nationally by as much as 60 percent
from the fourth quarter of 1993.  

The Company formed $909 million of AAA-rated private mortgage pass-through
securities ("Mortgage Pass-Throughs") during 1994, $460 million of which were
backed by adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans. In addition to reducing
exposure to fraud and credit risk, a primary benefit of pooling mortgage loans
into Mortgage Pass-Throughs is the improved liquidity of AAA-rated securities
over that of individual loans. As a result, when securing short term borrowings,
the Company is able to negotiate more favorable terms. In order to lower
interest rate risk on the Mortgage Pass-Through portfolio, the Company pledged
over $300 million of fixed-rate Mortgage Pass-Throughs as partial collateral for
the December 1994 issuance of approximately $351 million of collateralized
mortgage securities ("CMOs"). The Company plans to continue to retain a large
portfolio of primarily ARM Mortgage Pass-Throughs.

In order to expedite growth of the Company's ARM investments, early in 1994 the
Company acquired $1.1 billion of ARM agency securities. The Company also added
$334 million of  3-year, fixed-rate unsecured callable agency notes to its
existing portfolio of fixed rate agency securities.

During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company issued nine CMOs totaling
$2.7 billion through special-purpose finance subsidiaries secured by fixed-rate
mortgage loans. The net investment in these financings at issuance totaled $122
million.  CMO issuances in 1994 were negatively impacted by the general rise in
interest rates.  During periods of rising interest rates, CMO issuances have
relatively high interest rates compared to the related collateral which was
committed for purchase when long term interest rates were lower (see "Effects of
Interest Rate Changes").  The CMO investment portfolio at December 31, 1994 was
approximately $168 million compared to a portfolio of approximately $105 million
at December 31, 1993.  The December 31, 1994 portfolio includes $4.6 million of
collateral released from related indentures through redemption or pay off of the
related bonds compared to $33.3 million at December 31, 1993.

The mortgage servicing portfolio (excluding pending transfers) increased
substantially during the year to $14.4 billion with a weighted average interest
rate of only 7.16 percent and earning an 

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
average annual service fee excluding ancillary revenue and earnings on escrows
(the "Average Service Fee") of 29.59 basis points. The December 31, 1994 balance
of purchased mortgage servicing rights related to this portfolio was
approximately $189 million (132 basis points, or a 4.4 multiple of the Average
Service Fee). Portfolio run off, consisting of prepayments and scheduled
payments on mortgage loans serviced, was 7.22 percent for the year, due to the
low weighted average interest rate of the mortgage servicing portfolio compared
to prevailing mortgage interest rates. In addition, pending transfers as of
year-end totaled another $5.1 billion of mortgage servicing with a weighted
average interest rate of 7.30 percent and earning an Average Service Fee of 34.0
basis points. At an average cost of 182 basis points, these mortgage servicing
rights are being acquired at a 5.4 multiple of the Average Service Fee. Pending
transfers, together with normal jumbo servicing acquisitions, should allow the
Company to end the first quarter of 1995 with a mortgage servicing portfolio of
more than $19 billion. The Company currently plans to grow the mortgage
servicing portfolio to more than $25 billion by the end of 1995.

As of December 31, 1994, the mortgage loan portfolio and commitments to acquire
mortgage loans ("Pipeline") approximated $243 million.  Market value risk
associated with holding or acquiring these loans was reduced by entering into
forward sale agreements totaling $65 million for hedging purposes.  In addition,
approximately $143 million was invested or committed for investment in ARM
loans, which are not generally as sensitive to changes in market value as are
fixed-rate investments.  The remaining mortgage loan portfolio and Pipeline that
was subject to market value risk as of December 31, 1994 was approximately $30
million (adjusted for expected Pipeline fallout of 20 percent on -best efforts-
commitments).

A significant impact of the rise in mortgage interest rates in 1994 has been a
corresponding decline in the value of most mortgage assets. As of December 31,
1994, the Company's $1.9 billion of mortgage assets held available-for-sale had
a $78.5 million net unrealized loss. This net unrealized loss has been reflected
as a separate component of stockholders' equity in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities," ("SFAS 115") which the Company adopted January 1,
1994. These losses will only be realized if the securities are sold. The Company
does not intend to sell these securities under current market conditions. In
time, as interest rates stabilize or decline, the Company believes these
unrealized losses will be recovered through improvement in the market values or
repayment of the underlying securities. Declines in value and ongoing market
value risk associated with the remaining mortgage assets will not have a direct
impact on earnings as these assets are classified as held-to-maturity and can
only be sold under very limited circumstances.

1994 Compared to 1993

Operating results in 1994 declined over nine percent from those achieved in 1993
primarily because of rising interest rates. Higher mortgage loan interest rates
have had the effect of substantially curtailing purchase and commitment volumes
and shifting the product mix from fixed-rate mortgage loans to relatively lower
rate ARM and medium-term mortgage products. During this period, steadily rising
yields on ARM mortgage investments have not kept pace with increases in
borrowing costs, and net interest spreads on the mortgage loan, Mortgage Pass-
Through and agency securities portfolios have declined markedly. On a more
positive note, the CMO investment portfolio and the mortgage servicing operation
have performed well in this environment.

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
The mortgage loan portfolio contributed significantly less to current year net
operating results than in 1993 due to (i) a lower average mortgage loan
portfolio outstanding: $799 million in 1994 compared to $1.06 billion in 1993,
(ii) lower weighted average yields on mortgage loans:  6.68 percent in 1994
compared to 7.07 percent in 1993, (iii) higher average short term borrowing
costs: 4.50 percent in 1994 compared to 3.93 percent in 1993, and (iv) greater
use of leverage: the average ratio of short term borrowings to capital employed
increased to 2.8:1 in 1994 compared to 1.6:1 in 1993.  Lower mortgage loan
purchase volume, particularly in the last three quarters of 1994, is the primary
reason for the decline in size of the mortgage loan portfolio.  Average yields
have declined despite higher prevailing mortgage interest rates because of a
shift in the portfolio product mix from predominantly fixed-rate loans in 1993
to lower yielding ARM loans in 1994.  Borrowing costs on the mortgage loan
portfolio have risen 238 basis points in 1994.  The Company has increased the
leverage of this portfolio in order to employ more capital in the mortgage
servicing portfolio. 

The Mortgage Pass-Through portfolio contributed less to net operating results in
1994 than in 1993 primarily due to higher borrowing costs offset by somewhat
higher yields. Borrowing costs for this portfolio rose 262 basis points during
1994, averaging 4.68 percent compared to an average of 3.46 percent in 1993.
Mortgage Pass-Through yields rose 39 basis points during 1994 and averaged 6.17
percent compared to an average of 6.07 percent in 1993. The increase in yields
during 1994 was due primarily to periodic rate adjustments on underlying ARM
loans (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes") and the formation mid-year of
$310 million of fixed-rate Mortgage Pass-Throughs. The average portfolio
outstanding remained fairly constant at $1.27 billion in 1994 compared to $1.32
billion in 1993. 

Despite a sizable increase in the average agency securities portfolio
outstanding to $1.27 billion in 1994 compared to $426 million in 1993, this
portfolio contributed less in 1994 to net operating results than in 1993 due to
lower average agency securities yields: 5.58 percent in 1994 compared to 6.80
percent in 1993, and higher average short term borrowing costs: 4.12 percent in
1994 compared to 2.43 percent in 1993. Lower average yields reflect the decision
in early 1994 to invest in ARM agency securities that have not yet reset to a
fully-indexed rate (i.e. "teaser-rate ARM securities"). These teaser-rate ARM
securities produced an average yield of 4.71 percent in 1994, four basis points
less than related borrowing costs. This reflects the recent period of rapidly
rising short term interest rates which increased borrowing costs more than
periodic rate adjustments on underlying ARM loans. Although yields on teaser-
rate ARM securities had improved to 5.12 percent by December of 1994, related
borrowing costs had increased to 5.77 percent (see "Effects of Interest Rate
Changes"). Additionally, 1994 borrowing rates in the dollar repurchase agreement
market have risen considerably over those experienced in 1993.

 The CMO investment portfolio contributed more to net operating results in 1994
than in 1993 primarily due to the impact of the rise in mortgage interest rates
experienced in 1994 on current and expected future prepayments. In the first
quarter of 1994, prepayments began to slow considerably. As a result, estimates
of expected future prepayments were revised, which 

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
had the effect of lowering amortization of bond discounts and improving
operating results. During 1994 principal collections on mortgage securities
collateral totaled $1.4 billion compared to $2.4 billion in 1993.

Mortgage service revenues increased significantly during 1994 as a result of the
addition of mortgage servicing rights on $12.5 billion of mortgage loans for an
average servicing portfolio of $7.8 billion compared to the addition of $2.5
billion in 1993 for an average servicing portfolio of $864 million (operations
commenced March 1993).  Direct operating costs for mortgage servicing operations
also increased, but not to the same extent as revenues, which is reflective of
efficiencies being gained in the servicing process as the servicing portfolio
continues to grow.  Amortization of purchased mortgage servicing rights amounted
to $6.0 million during 1994, representing an annual rate of 6.2 percent of the
average mortgage servicing rights, compared to amortization of $1.3 million
during 1993, representing an annual rate of 15.1 percent of the average mortgage
servicing rights.  The reduction in the amortization rate from 1993 to 1994 was
attributable to the decrease in mortgage refinancing activity during 1994 caused
by increased mortgage interest rates. 

In 1994 the Company acquired 800,000 shares of the common stock of North
American Mortgage Corporation, a mortgage banking company, for $17.8 million.
Consolidation trends in the mortgage banking industry during 1994 allowed the
Company to realize gains aggregating $6.2 million from the sale of 750,000 of
these shares.


Due to rising interest rates in 1994, the Company has not sold mortgage assets
other than sales of mortgage securities collateral released from CMOs pursuant
to clean-up calls. In 1994, $77 million of released mortgage securities
collateral was sold for gains aggregating $2.9 million. During 1993, $3.9
billion of mortgage assets were sold for gains aggregating $61.2 million.

CMO administration revenues were higher in 1994 than in 1993 due to increased
master servicing of collateral placed into securitizations and administering of
related bonds or pass-through securities. The Company began master servicing
securitized collateral in February 1993 and receiving fees for administering
securitizations in October 1993.

The Company provided $3.5 million for possible losses during 1994 compared to
$2.8 million in 1993. The increase is primarily due to recent experience with
fraud/misrepresentation in the third-party origination of mortgage loans.

After excluding $16.2 million of non-competition and management agreement
expenses and termination costs incurred in 1993, salaries, general and
administrative expenses increased in 1994 primarily due to costs associated with
establishing the infrastructure necessary to take advantage of opportunities in
the mortgage banking industry.   

1993 Compared to 1992 

The Company's 1993 operating results were heavily influenced by the relatively
steady decline in long term interest rates throughout much of the year. The most
significant positive influence of the decline in long term rates on operating
results was on securitization

                                       26
<PAGE>
 
activity. Gains from the securitization or sale of mortgage assets totaled $61.2
million in 1993 compared to $2.9 million in 1992. These gains more than offset
losses sustained by the CMO investment portfolio. The CMO investment portfolio
experienced a net loss of $34.5 million in 1993 compared to net income of $18.4
million in 1992 primarily because of high prepayments on the related collateral
also brought on by the decline in rates. Another important factor in producing
higher operating results in 1993 was the issuance of $315 million of Series B
Preferred Stock in December 1992, which doubled stockholders' equity and greatly
enhanced earnings potential. Throughout most of 1993 larger mortgage investment
portfolios were maintained as the Company sought to deploy this additional
capital. Lower short term borrowing rates further increased these portfolios'
contributions to net income.

The Company provided $2.8 million for possible losses during the year ended
December 31, 1993 compared to $7.8 million in 1992.  A 20 percent reduction in
mortgage loan purchase volume from 1992 to 1993 along with more stringent
underwriting guidelines contributed to lower provision requirements.

Included in general and administrative expenses in 1993 were $11.9 million of
costs associated with terminating the Company's relationship with its former
manager. Effective October 1, 1993 the Company became fully self-administered.
Other increases in general and administrative expenses over 1992 were due
primarily to the formation of the mortgage servicing operation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of funds include monthly principal and interest
payments on mortgage loans and mortgage securities, short term borrowings,
excess cash flows on issued CMOs, proceeds from securitizations, servicing fees
and other revenue from its mortgage servicing portfolio, and equity offerings
when available.  The Company currently believes that these funds are sufficient
for the acquisition of additional mortgage loans and other mortgage assets,
repayments on short term borrowings, growth of the mortgage servicing portfolio
and the payment of cash dividends as required for Capstead's continued
qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT").  It is the Company's
policy to remain strongly capitalized and conservatively leveraged.

The Company may, from time to time, sell a portion of its fixed-rate mortgage
loans and its investments in other mortgage assets classified as available-for-
sale.  Such sales may be accomplished by issuing publicly-offered, multi-class
Mortgage Pass-Through certificates ("MPCs") and may increase quarterly income
volatility because of the recognition of transactional gains or losses.  No such
sales were recorded in 1994 other than sales of collateral released from CMOs
pursuant to clean-up calls.

Short term borrowings are primarily made under repurchase arrangements.  At
December 31, 1994 the Company had uncommitted repurchase facilities with
investment banking firms of approximately $5.5 billion to finance the mortgage
loan and Mortgage Pass-Through portfolios, subject to certain conditions.
Interest rates on borrowings under these facilities are based on overnight to
30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rates.  The Company also 

                                       27
<PAGE>
 
enters into repurchase and dollar repurchase arrangements with investment
banking firms to whom the Company pledges agency securities and other mortgage
assets as collateral. The terms and conditions of these arrangements, including
interest rates, are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other
short term financing arrangements that the Company may use include entering into
repurchase transactions prior to the issuance of CMOs or MPCs whereby the
Company may pledge the mortgage assets that are expected to secure the issuance
as collateral for a repurchase transaction with the managing underwriter of the
related issuance.

At December 31, 1994 the Company had a $120 million committed line of credit
with an investment banking firm secured by purchased mortgage servicing rights.
Advances have separate maturities and rates of interest with interest due
monthly.  Interest rates on advances under this facility are based on LIBOR
rates related to the term of the advance.   

EFFECTS OF  INTEREST  RATE  CHANGES

Changes in interest rates may impact the Company's earnings in various ways.
The Company's earnings depend, in part, on the difference between the interest
received on mortgage investments and the interest paid on related short term
borrowings (primarily repurchase arrangements).  The resulting spread may be
reduced in a rising interest rate environment.  For ARM loans the risk of rising
short term interest rates is offset to some extent by increases in the rates of
interest earned on these loans.  Since ARM loans generally limit the amount of
such increase during any single interest rate adjustment period and over the
life of the loan, the interest rates on the repurchase arrangements can rise to
levels that may exceed the interest rates on the underlying ARM loans resulting
in a negative interest spread.  This occurred in late 1994 on many of the
Company's ARM investments.  The Company expects that once interest rates
stabilize or decline these spreads will recover. Rising interest rates may not
only reduce interest spreads, but also the volume of mortgage loan purchases
through our conduit operations as mortgage loan origination activity slows,
which may result in lower average mortgage loan portfolios outstanding during
these periods. 

In addition, earnings are impacted if long term interest rates change during the
period after the Company has committed to purchase fixed-rate mortgage loans but
before these loans have been pledged to secure CMOs and MPCs or otherwise
committed for sale. If long term interest rates increase during this period, the
interest payable on the CMOs issued will increase while the yield on the
underlying mortgage loans pledged to collateralize the CMOs will not change; as
a consequence, the interest spread on the CMO will be lower. Conversely, if long
term interest rates decrease during this period, the interest payable on the CMO
issued will decrease, while the yield on the underlying mortgage loans pledged
to collateralize the CMO will not change; as a consequence, the interest spread
on the CMO will be higher. Similarly, proceeds received on the issuance of MPCs
and other sales, and related gains or losses, will be negatively impacted by an
increase in long term interest rates during this period due to the resulting
decline in market value of the related collateral. Conversely,

                                       28
<PAGE>
 
these transactional gains or losses will be favorably impacted by a decrease in
long term interest rates during this period. The Company attempts to manage its
exposure to long term interest rate changes in part by pricing CMO and MPC
issuances prior to the purchase of, but subsequent to the commitment to
purchase, all of the mortgage loans that will collateralize the issuances and
may from time to time elect to enter into forward sale agreements for hedging
purposes. In 1995 the Company expects to hold mortgage loan acquisitions in its
mortgage portfolio for very brief periods, usually about a week, in an effort to
eliminate the market risk associated with aggregating and securitizing mortgage
loans.


Changes in interest rates also impact earnings recognized from the CMO
investment portfolio, which consists primarily of fixed-rate CMO residuals. The
amount of income that may be generated from the typical CMO residual is
dependent upon the rate of principal prepayments on the underlying collateral.
If mortgage interest rates fall significantly below the interest rate on the
collateral, principal prepayments will increase, reducing or even eliminating
the overall return on the investment in the CMO residual. This is due primarily
to the acceleration of the amortization of bond discounts, a noncash item, as
bond classes are repaid more rapidly than originally anticipated. During 1993
the Company experienced such a period of declining rates and high prepayments.

Another effect of changes in interest rates is that when interest rates
decrease, the rate of   prepayment of mortgage loans generally increases.  To
the extent the proceeds of prepayments on the mortgage investment portfolios
cannot be reinvested at a rate of interest at least equal to the rate previously
earned on such investments, earnings may be adversely affected.  In addition,
the rates of interest earned on ARM loans generally will decline during periods
of falling interest rates.

The above discussion regarding how changes in interest rates impact investments
in mortgage assets also applies to the Company's growing investment in purchased
mortgage servicing rights.  When interest rates rise, mortgage servicing rights
become more valuable since the average lives of the related mortgage loans will
tend to be longer and earnings from large, temporarily held cash balances will
be greater.  Conversely, lower interest rates will spur prepayments thus
reducing the period of time the Company can service the related loans. Because
the Company began mortgage servicing in 1993, exposure to lower interest rates
is less than for other servicers that acquired servicing portfolios in previous
years when interest rates were substantially higher.
