NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1998
(amounts in thousands except share data)
NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Dynex Capital, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and certain
other entities. As used herein, the "Company" refers to Dynex Capital, Inc.
("Dynex") and each of the entities that is consolidated with Dynex for financial
reporting purposes. A portion of the Company's operations are operated by
taxable corporations that are consolidated with Dynex for financial reporting
purposes, but are not consolidated for income tax purposes. For these taxable
corporations, Dynex owns all of the outstanding preferred stock representing 99%
of the economic interest in the companies. The common stock is owned by certain
members of management. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the consolidated financial statements have been included. The Consolidated
Balance Sheets at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998
and 1997, the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and related notes to consolidated
financial statements are unaudited. Operating results for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. For further information, refer
to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Certain amounts for 1997 have been reclassified to conform with the
presentation for 1998.
NOTE 2--EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share ("EPS") as shown on the consolidated statements of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is
presented on both a basic and diluted EPS basis. Diluted EPS assumes the
conversion of the convertible preferred stock into common stock, using the
if-converted method, and stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), using the treasury
stock method but only if these items are dilutive. As a result of the
two-for-one split of the Company's common stock in May 1997, the preferred stock
is convertible into two shares of common stock for one share of preferred stock.
The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator for both the
basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997.

(1) Excludes $224,077 and $214,120 of other investments at amortized cost at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively, which are not classified as debt securities according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" and as such are not included in this table.
</FN>
</TABLE>
Collateral for collateralized bonds consists of debt securities backed
primarily by adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by first
liens on single family and multifamily residential housing properties and
commercial properties, manufactured housing installment loans secured by either
a UCC filing or a motor vehicle title, and property tax receivables. All
collateral for collateralized bonds is pledged to secure repayment of the
related collateralized bonds. All principal and interest (less servicing-related
fees) on the collateral is remitted to a trustee and is available for payment on
the collateralized bonds. The Company's exposure to credit losses on collateral
for collateralized bonds is generally limited to the principal amount of
collateral pledged in excess of the related collateralized bonds issued, as the
collateralized bonds issued by the limited-purpose finance subsidiaries are
non-recourse to the Company.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company securitized
$1.7 billion of collateral, through the issuance of one series of collateralized
bonds. The collateral securitized was primarily single-family mortgage loans and
manufactured housing loans. The securitization was accounted for as part
financing and part sale of the underlying collateral pursuant to Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("FAS No. 125"). Under FAS
No. 125, if an entity retains a call provision on the bonds in excess of a
"clean-up" call, usually defined as 10% of the initial principal amount of the
bond, the entity is precluded from accounting for the securitization of the
collateral and the issuance of the bonds as a sale. The call provision is
considered individually for each bond issued. On all but one class of bonds
issued in this securitzation, the Company retained call rights which are
substantially in excess of a clean-up call. For the one class of bonds with an
original principal amount totaling $55,007, the Company retained only a clean-up
call provision of 10%. The Company therefore treated the issuance of this class
as a sale and recognized a gain of $7,534 in connection with the sale of that
class of bonds. The issuance of the remaining classes of bonds was considered a
financing transaction.
Mortgage securities with an aggregate principal balance of $274,169 were
sold during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 for an aggregate gain of
$1,020. The specific identification method is used to calculate the basis of
mortgage securities sold. Gain on sale of investments and trading activities
also includes realized net gains of $4,705 on various trading positions closed
during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. At September 30, 1998, the
Company had a covered written option for treasury futures with a notional value
of $800 million. Such position had a net mark-to-market loss of $6,681 based
upon quotes obtained from third party dealers, which was included in the
statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998
in the financial statement line item (loss)gain on sale of investments and
trading activities.
The Company uses estimates in establishing fair value for its financial
instruments. Estimates of fair value for financial instruments may be based on
market prices provided by certain dealers. Estimates of fair value for certain
other financial instruments are determined by calculating the present value of
the projected cash flows of the instruments using appropriate discount rates,
prepayment rates and credit loss assumptions. The discount rates used are based
on management's estimates of market rates, and the cash flows are projected
utilizing the current interest rate environment and forecasted prepayment rates.
Estimates of fair value for other financial instruments are based primarily on
management's judgment. Since the fair value of the Company's financial
instruments is based on estimates, actual gains and losses recognized may differ
from those estimates recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4 - RECOURSE DEBT
The Company utilizes repurchase agreements, notes payable and warehouse
credit facilities (together, "Recourse Debt") to finance certain of its
investments. The following table summarizes the Company's recourse debt
outstanding at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997:

NOTE 5 - ADOPTION OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In January 1998, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("FAS No. 130"). FAS No. 130
requires companies to classify items of other comprehensive income by their
nature in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in
capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. The impact
of adopting FAS No. 130 did not result in a material change to the Company's
financial position and results of operations.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS No. 131"). FAS No. 131 establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments and is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. There will be no significant changes to the Company's disclosures pursuant
to the adoption of FAS No. 131.
In January 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 132, "Employers' Disclosure about Pensions
and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("FAS No. 132"). FAS No. 132 revises
employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans and
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. There will be no significant changes to the Company's
disclosures pursuant to the adoption of FAS No. 132.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("FAS No. 133"). FAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. FAS
No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. The impact of adopting FAS No. 133 has not yet been determined.
In October 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed
Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by
a Mortgage Banking Enterprise" ("FAS No. 134"). FAS No. 134 requires that after
the securitization of mortgage loans held for sale that meets all of the
criteria of FAS No. 125 and is accounted for as a sale, an entity engaged in
mortgage banking activities classify the resulting mortgage-backed securities or
other retained interests based on its ability and intent to sell or hold those
investments. FAS No. 134 is effective for fiscal quarters beginning after
December 15, 1998. The Company does not expect FAS No. 134 to have a material
impact on the financial statements as the Company typically accounts for
securitization of assets as secured financing transactions.
NOTE 6--DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements, interest rate cap
agreements, interest rate floor agreements, financial forwards, financial
futures and options on financial futures ("Interest Rate Agreements") to manage
its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. These Interest Rate Agreements are
intended to provide income and cash flow to offset potential reduced net
interest income and cash flow under certain interest rate environments. At trade
date, these instruments are designated as either hedge positions or trade
positions.
For Interest Rate Agreements designated as hedge instruments, the Company
evaluates the effectiveness of these hedges periodically against the financial
instrument being hedged under various interest rate scenarios. The revenues and
costs associated with interest rate swap agreements are recorded as adjustments
to interest income or expense on the asset or liability being hedged. For
interest rate cap agreements, the amortization of the cost of the agreements is
recorded as a reduction in the net interest income on the related investment.
The unamortized cost is included in the carrying amount of the related
investment. Revenues or cost associated with futures and option contracts are
recognized in income or expense in a manner consistent with the accounting for
the asset or liability being hedged. Amounts payable to or receivable from
counterparties are included in the financial statement line of the item being
hedged. Interest Rate Agreements that are hedge instruments and hedge an asset
which is carried at its fair value are also carried at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders'
equity. Interest Rate Agreements that are hedge instruments and hedge an
available for sale investment which is carried at its fair value are also
carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a
separate component of shareholders' equity.
As a part of the Company's interest rate risk management process, the
Company may be required periodically to terminate hedge instruments. Any
realized gain or loss resulting from the termination of a hedge is amortized
into income or expense of the corresponding hedged instrument over the remaining
period of the original hedge or hedged instrument as a yield adjustment.
The Company may also enter into forward delivery contracts and interest
rate futures and options contracts for hedging interest rate risk associated
with commitments made to fund loans. Gains and losses on such contracts are
either (i) deferred as an adjustment to the carrying value of the related loans
until the loan has been funded and securitized, after which the gains or losses
will be amortized into income over the remaining life of the loan using a method
that approximates the effective yield method, or (ii) deferred until such time
as the related loans are funded and sold.
If the underlying asset, liability or commitment is sold or matures, or the
criteria that was executed at the time the hedge instrument was entered into no
longer exists, the Interest Rate Agreement is no longer accounted for as a
hedge. Under these circumstances, the accumulated change in the market value of
the hedge is recognized in current income to the extent that the effects of
interest rate or price changes of the hedged item have not offset the hedge
results.
For Interest Rate Agreements entered into for trading purposes, realized
and unrealized changes in fair value of these instruments are recognized in the
consolidated statements of operations as trading activities in the period in
which the changes occur or when such trade instruments are settled. Amounts
payable to or receivable from counterparties, if any, are included on the
consolidated balance sheets in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, 24,000 SARs under the
Employee Incentive Plan were exercised for a total value of $322. During the
same period, an aggregate 220,795 additional SARs under the Employee and Board
Incentive Plans were granted at a strike price of $11.75. The total SARs
remaining to be exercised was 884,435 at September 30, 1998. The Company
expensed $717 related to the Employee and Board Incentive Plans during the nine
months ended September 30, 1998.
NOTE 8 -- COMMITTMENTS
On June 10, 1998, the Company entered into a funding agreement with
AutoBond Acceptance Corporation ("AutoBond") whereby the Company will provide
AutoBond with limited funding over a one year period to finance its retail
installment contracts up to $25 million per month. AutoBond is a specialty
consumer finance company that underwrites, acquires, services and securitizes
retail installment contracts originated by automobile dealers to borrowers that
are credit impaired. The common stock of AutoBond trades on the American Stock
Exchange under the symbol "ABD". In exchange, the Company, through a taxable
affiliate, received an option to purchase 5.5 million shares of common stock of
AutoBond held by the three principal shareholders of AutoBond, for a price of
$6.00 per share. The Company also purchased from AutoBond a $3.0 million senior
note convertible into 500,000 shares of AutoBond's common stock.
NOTE 9 -- OTHER MATTERS
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company issued 622,768
shares of its common stock pursuant to its dividend reinvestment program for net

The Company repurchased 88,458 shares of its common stock outstanding at an
aggregate purchase price of $912, or $10.27 per share, during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998. The Company is authorized to repurchase up to one
million shares of its common stock.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, 88,450 shares of Series A,
45,056 shares of Series B and no shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Dynex Capital, Inc. (the "Company") is a financial services company
electing to be treated as a real estate investment trust. The Company originates
primarily mortgage loans secured by multifamily and commercial properties and
loans secured by manufactured homes. The Company will generally securitize the
loans funded as collateral for collateralized bonds, thereby limiting its credit
and liquidity risk and providing long-term financing for its investment
portfolio.

</TABLE>
Collateral for collateralized bonds Collateral for collateralized bonds
consists primarily of securities backed by single-family adjustable-rate and
fixed-rate mortgage loans, manufactured housing loans and commercial mortgage
loans. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had 33 series of collateralized
bonds outstanding. Compared to December 31, 1997, the collateral for
collateralized bonds remained essentially unchanged at $4.4 billion at September
30, 1998. During the first nine months of 1998, the Company added $1.7 billion
of collateral, primarily securities backed by single-family mortgage loans,
related to the issuance of one series of collateralized bonds which was offset
by the pay downs on all collateral of $1.6 million.
Mortgage securities Mortgage securities consist primarily of
adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage securities
also include derivative and residual securities. Derivative securities are
classes of collateralized bonds, mortgage pass-through certificates or mortgage
certificates that pay to the holder substantially all interest (i.e., an
interest-only security), or substantially all principal (i.e., a principal-only
security). Residual interests represent the right to receive the excess of (i)
the cash flow from the collateral pledged to secure related mortgage-backed
securities, together with any reinvestment income thereon, over (ii) the amount
required for principal and interest payments on the mortgage-backed securities
or repurchase arrangements, together with any related administrative expenses.
Mortgage securities at September 30, 1998 decreased to $215.2 million compared
to $513.8 million at December 31, 1997. This decrease of $298.6 million was
primarily the result of the Company pledging $710.1 million of mortgage
securities as part of the $1.7 billion collateral for collateralized bonds
issued during the second quarter of 1998. In addition, the Company sold $71.4
million of mortgage securities and received $103.8 million in pay downs during
the nine months ended September 30, 1998. These decreases were partially offset
by new securities acquired in the amount of $877.3 million resulting from the
Company's exercise of its call rights on $452.1 million of mortgage securities
and purchasing $425.2 million of mortgage securities in the open market during
the same period.
Other investments Other investments consists primarily of single family
model homes leased to home builders, corporate bonds, a note receivable received
in connection with the sale of the Company's single family mortgage operations
in May 1996 and property tax receivables. Other investments increased from
$214.1 million at December 31, 1997 to $252.8 million at September 30, 1998.
This increase of $38.7 million is primarily the result of additional purchases
or financing of $105.3 million of model homes during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. In addition, the Company purchased $25.0 million of
corporate bonds and $33.1 million of property tax receivables during the nine
months ended September 30, 1998. These increases were partially offset during
the same period by the sale of $48.5 million in model homes and the receipt of
the $9.5 million annual principal payment on the note receivable from the 1996
sale of the single family mortgage operations. In addition, the Company
securitized $52.7 million of property tax receivables through collateralized
bonds issued during the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Assets held for securitization Assets held for securitization increased
from $235.0 million at December 31, 1997 to $786.9 million at September 30,
1998. This increase was due to new loan fundings from the Company's production
operations totaling $728.5 million and bulk purchases of single family loans
totaling $562.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. In
addition, as part of its agreement with AutoBond Acceptance Corporation the
Company funded $100.3 million of funding notes secured by automobile installment
contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. These increases were
partially offset by the securitization of $922.1 million of assets held for
securitization as collateral for collateralized bonds in the second quarter.
Non-recourse debt Collateralized bonds issued by the Company are recourse
only to the assets pledged as collateral, and are otherwise non-recourse to the
Company. Collateralized bonds decreased to $3.5 billion at September 30, 1998
from $3.6 billion at December 31, 1997 primarily as a result of the issuance of
$1.6 billion of collateralized bonds during the second quarter of 1998 offset by
the pay downs on the bonds totaling $1.6 billion. The series of collateralized
bonds issued during the second quarter of 1998 was collateralized by securities
secured primarily by single family mortgage loans, manufactured housing loans
and property tax receivables.
Recourse debt Recourse debt increased to $1.6 billion at September 30, 1998
from $1.1 billion at December 31, 1997. This increase was primarily due to the
addition of $115.2 million of repurchase agreements secured by collateralized
bonds retained by the Company from the $1.7 billion securitization in May 1998
and the addition of $582.5 million of notes payable as a result of additional
assets funded during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. These increases
were partially offset by a $182.1 million reduction in repurchase agreements due
to the securitization of $258.0 million mortgage securities as collateral for
collateralized bonds during the second quarter of 1998 which were previously
financed by repurchase agreements.
Shareholders' equity Shareholders' equity decreased to $503.5 million at
September 30, 1998 from $560.9 million at December 31, 1997. This decrease was
primarily the result of a $51.4 million decrease in the net unrealized gain on
investments available-for-sale from $79.4 million at December 31, 1997 to $28.0
at September 30, 1998. Also, the Company repurchased 88,458 of its common shares
at an aggregate purchase price of $0.9 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. These decreases were partially offset by $7.1 million of
common stock proceeds received through the dividend reinvestment plan during the
same period.

Total loan production for the first nine months of 1998 totaled $2.3
billion compared to $1.6 billion for the same period in 1997. The increase in
loan production was due primarily to the increased origination volume of both
commercial and manufactured housing loans during 1998 as well as the addition of
fundings as part of the Company's agreement with AutoBond Acceptance
Corporation. These increased volumes were partially offset by fewer bulk
purchases during the first nine months of 1998 compared to the same period in
1997.
The Company issues commitments to fund commercial loans up to 24 months
forward. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had $817.4 million of such
commitments outstanding.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Three and Nine
Months Ended September 30, 1997. Net income for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 was $6.5 million and $36.5 million, respectively compared to
$19.5 million and $56.2 million, respectively for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1997. The decrease in the Company's earnings during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 was primarily the result of a decrease in the
net interest margin and an increase in general and administrative expenses.
Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 decreased
to $51.5 million, or 18% below the $62.9 million for the same period for 1997.
Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 1998 decreased to
$15.5 million, or 26% below the $20.8 million for the same period in 1997. These
decreases were primarily the result of a $1.5 million and $9.2 million increase
in premium amortization expense during the three and nine months ended September
30, 1998, respectively compared to the same periods in 1997. The increase in
premium amortization resulted from a higher rate of prepayments in the
investment portfolio during the first nine months of 1998 than during the same
period in 1997. In addition, the net interest spread on the Company's investment
portfolio decreased to 1.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from
1.55% for the same period in 1997. The net interest spread for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 was 1.18% compared to 1.39% for the same period in
1997. The decrease in net interest spread for both the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1998 relative to the same periods in 1997 is also primarily
the result of higher premium amortization as a result of the increase in
principal prepayments as well as the decrease in spreads between the indices on
which the Company's interest-earning assets (primarily six month LIBOR and
constant-maturity treasuries) and interest-bearing liabilities (primarily one
month LIBOR) are based.
The gain on sale of investments and trading activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 decreased to $6.5 million, as compared to $8.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The decrease is primarily the
result of net losses recognized of $2.2 million on trading positions entered
into during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. These net losses were
offset by sales of mortgage securities and collateralized bonds with an
aggregate principal balance of $274.2 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, for an aggregate net gain of $8.6 million.
General and administrative expenses were $8.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 1997.
This represents an increase of 29% in 1998. General and administrative expenses
also increased $6.8 million, or 39%, to $24.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period for 1997. The increase in
general and administrative expenses is the result of the continued growth in the
Company's production operations, both in the Company's manufactured housing and
commercial lending business.
The following table summarizes the average balances of the Company's
interest-earning assets and their average effective yields, along with the
Company's average interest-bearing liabilities and the related average effective
interest rates, for each of the periods presented.

The net interest spread declined to 1.18% and 1.21% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from 1.39% and 1.55% for the same periods in
1997. The overall yield on interest-earning assets also decreased to 7.58% and
7.63% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, from
7.71% and 7.89% for three and nine months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively. These decreases of 0.13% and 0.26%, respectively, are due to the
reduction in interest-earning asset yields from increased premium amortization
expense and the addition of lower yielding assets to the investment portfolio.
The cost of interest-bearing liabilities also increased for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998 as a result of the shift to predominantly
non-recourse collateralized bond fundings.
Individually, the net interest spread on collateral for collateralized
bonds decreased 12 basis points, from 108 basis points for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 to 96 basis points for the same period in 1998. This decline
was primarily due to (i) the securitization of lower coupon collateral,
principally A+ quality single family ARM loans during the second half of 1997,
(ii) higher premium amortization caused by increased prepayments during the
first nine months of 1998 and (iii) the decline in spread between six-month
LIBOR and one-month LIBOR. Approximately 59% of the Company's collateral for
collateralized bonds is indexed to six-month LIBOR, and substantially all of the
collateralized bond obligations are indexed to one-month LIBOR. The net interest
spread on mortgage securities decreased 46 basis points, from 252 basis points
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to 206 basis points for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998. This decrease was primarily the result of the
sale of some higher coupon collateral during the third quarter of 1998 along
with the purchase of lower coupon fixed-rate mortgage securities during the
first quarter of 1998. The net interest spread on other investments increased 62
basis points, from 223 basis points for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, to 285 basis points for the same period in 1998, due primarily to lower
borrowing costs associated with the Company's single family model home purchase
and leaseback business during 1998 than during the same period in 1997. The net
interest spread on assets held for securitization increased 21 basis points,
from 236 basis points from the nine months ended September 30, 1997, to 257
basis points for the same period in 1998. This increase is primarily
attributable to lower borrowing costs as a result of a higher level of
compensating cash balances during the first nine months of 1998 compared to the
same period in 1997. Credits earned from these compensating cash balances are
used by the Company to offset interest expense.
Interest Income and Interest-Earning Assets
The Company's average interest-earning assets were $5.5 billion for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998, an increase of approximately 28% from $4.3
billion of average interest-earning assets during the same period of 1997. This
increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily the result of new loan
fundings of $2.2 billion for the twelve months ended September 30, 1998. In
addition, the Company purchased $425.2 million of mortgage securities and
exercised call rights on $937.6 million of mortgage securities during the twelve
months ended September 30, 1998. These were partially offset by $2.0 billion of
principal paydowns on investments during the same period. Total interest income
rose approximately 23%, from $255.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 to $315.1 million for the same period of 1998. This increase in total
interest income was due to the growth in average interest-earnings assets.
Overall, the yield on interest-earning assets declined to 7.63% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from 7.89% for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, as premium amortization expense grew due to an increase in principal
prepayments on investments. Premium amortization expense reduced the average
interest-earning asset yield 0.79% for the first nine months of 1998 versus
0.29% for the first nine months of 1997.
On a quarter to quarter basis, average interest-earning assets for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 were $5.6 billion versus $5.8 billion for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998. This decrease in average interest-earning assets
was primarily the result of $603 million of principal payments during the
quarter ended September 30, 1998. This decrease was partially offset by $373.2
million of loans funded through the production operations. In addition, the
Company exercised its bond call rights on $139.4 million of mortgage securities
during the same period. Total interest income for the quarter ended September
30, 1998 was $105.7 million versus $111.1 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1998. This decrease in total interest income was due primarily to the decrease
in interest-earning assets.

Approximately $3.6 billion of the Company's investment portfolio as of
September 30, 1998 is comprised of loans or securities that have coupon rates
which adjust over time (subject to certain periodic and lifetime limitations) in
conjunction with changes in short-term interest rates. Approximately 57% of the
ARM loans underlying the Company's ARM securities and collateral for
collateralized bonds are indexed to and reset based upon the level of six-month
LIBOR; approximately 32% are indexed to and reset based upon the level of the
One Year Constant Maturity Treasury Index (CMT). The following table presents a
breakdown, by principal balance, of the Company's collateral for collateralized
bonds and fixed and ARM mortgage securities by type of underlying loan.

The average asset yield is reduced for the amortization of premiums, net of
discounts on the Company's investment portfolio. By creating its investments
through its production operations, the Company believes that premium amounts are
less than if the investments were acquired in the market. As indicated in the
table below, net premiums on the Company's collateral for collateralized bonds,
ARM securities and fixed-rate securities at September 30, 1998 were $39.0
million, or approximately 0.89% of the aggregate investment portfolio balance as
compared to $57.9 million and 1.59% at September 30, 1997. Amortization expense
as a percentage of principal paydowns has declined to 1.05% for the three months
ended September 30, 1998, from 1.85% for the same period in 1997 as the
Company's investment portfolio mix changes to assets funded primarily at par or
at a discount. The principal repayment rate for the Company (indicated in the
table below as "CPR Annualized Rate") was approximately 40% for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. CPR or "constant prepayment rate" is a measure of the
annual prepayment rate on a pool of loans. Excluded from this table are the
Company's assets held for securitization, which are carried at a net discount of
$7.6 million at September 30, 1998.

Interest Expense and Cost of Funds
The Company's largest expense is the interest cost on borrowed funds. Funds
to finance the investment portfolio are generally borrowed in the form of
non-recourse collateralized bonds or repurchase agreements. The interest rates
paid on collateralized bonds are either fixed or floating rates; the interest
rates on the repurchase agreements are floating rates. The Company may use
interest rate swaps, caps and financial futures to manage its interest rate
risk. The net cost of these instruments is included in the cost of funds table
below as a component of interest expense for the period to which it relates. The
Company's average borrowed funds increased from $4.4 billion for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 to $5.4 billion for the same period in 1998.
This increase resulted primarily from the issuance of $3.0 billion of
collateralized bonds during the twelve months ended September 30, 1998. This
increase was partially offset by paydowns on the collateralized bonds of $1.9
billion. For the three months ended September 30, 1998, interest expense
increased to $86.2 million from $69.0 million for the three months ended
September, 1997, while the average cost of funds increased to 6.40% for the
three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to 6.32% for the same period in
1997. The increased average cost of funds for the third quarter of 1998 compared
to the third quarter of 1997 was mainly a result of a larger portion of the
assets being financed through collateralized bonds at September 30, 1998 which
have a higher cost of funds than do other sources of financing such as notes
payable and repurchase agreements.

</TABLE>
Interest Rate Agreements
As part of the Company's asset/liability management process for its
investment portfolio, the Company enters into interest rate agreements such as
interest rate caps and swaps and financial futures contracts. These agreements
are used to reduce interest rate risk which arises from the lifetime yield caps
on the ARM securities, the mismatched repricing of portfolio investments versus
borrowed funds, the funding of fixed interest rates on certain portfolio
investments with the floating rate borrowings and finally, assets repricing on
indices such as the prime rate which differ from the related borrowing indices.
The agreements are designed to protect the portfolio's income and cash flow, and
to provide income and capital appreciation to the Company in the event that
short-term interest rates rise quickly.
The following table includes all interest rate agreements in effect as of
the various quarter ends for asset/liability management of the investment
portfolio. This table excludes all interest rate agreements in effect for the
Company's loan production operations as generally these agreements are used to
hedge interest rate risk associated with forward commitments to fund loans.
Generally, interest rate swaps and caps are used to manage the interest rate
risk associated with assets that have periodic and annual interest rate reset
limitations financed with borrowings that have no such limitations. Financial
futures contracts and options on futures are used to lengthen the terms of
repurchase agreement financing, generally from one month to three and six
months. Amounts presented are aggregate notional amounts. To the extent any of
these agreements are terminated, gains and losses are generally amortized over
the remaining period of the original agreement.

received from these agreements. For the quarter ended September 30, 1998, net
hedging expense amounted to $1.90 million compared to $1.83 million and $1.35
million for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997,
respectively. Such amounts exclude the hedging costs and benefits associated
with the Company's production activities as these amounts are deferred as
additional premium or discount on the loans funded and amortized over the life
of the loans as an adjustment to their yield.

Fair Value
The fair value of the available-for-sale portion of the Company's
investment portfolio as of September 30, 1998, as measured by the net unrealized
gain on investments available-for-sale, was $28.0 million above its cost basis,
which represents a $51.4 million decrease from $79.4 million at December 31,
1997. This decrease in the portfolio's value is primarily attributable to the
widening of interest spreads during the last quarter along with the accelerated
prepayment activity on the investment portfolio during the nine month period.
Credit Exposures
The Company securitizes its loan production into collateralized bonds or
pass-through securitization structures. With either structure, the Company may
use overcollateralization, subordination, reserve funds, bond insurance,
mortgage pool insurance or any combination of the foregoing as a form of credit
enhancement. With all forms of credit enhancement, the Company may retain a
limited portion of the direct credit risk after securitization.
The following table summarizes the aggregate principal amount of collateral
for collateralized bonds and pass-through securities outstanding; the maximum
direct credit exposure retained by the Company (represented by the amount of
overcollateralization pledged and subordinated securities rated below BBB owned
by the Company), net of the credit reserves maintained by the Company for such
exposure; and the actual credit losses incurred for each year. The table
excludes any risks related to representations and warranties made on loans
funded by the Company and securitized in mortgage pass-through securities
generally funded prior to 1995. This table also excludes any credit exposure on
assets held for securitization (which will be included as the assets are
securitized) and other investments. The increase in net credit exposure as a
percentage of the outstanding loan principal balance from 1.26% at September 30,
1997 to 3.29% at September 30, 1998 is related primarily to the credit exposure
retained by the Company on its $3.2 billion in securitizations during the twelve
months ended September 30, 1998.

The following table summarizes single family mortgage loan, manufactured

outstanding collateral balance for those securities mentioned above in which the
Company has retained a portion of the direct credit risk. The decrease in
delinquencies as a percentage of the outstanding collateral balance from 4.17%
at September 30, 1997 to 1.72% at September 30, 1998 is primarily related to the
Company's basis in certain subordinated securities being reduced to $0 during
1998, which as a result, eliminated any remaining credit exposure to the
Company. Delinquencies from these subordinated securities are excluded from the
table at September 30, 1998. As of September 30, 1998, the Company believes that
its credit reserves are sufficient to cover any losses which may occur as a
result of current delinquencies presented in the table below.

The following table summarizes the credit ratings for collateral for
collateralized bonds, mortgage securities and certain other investments held in
the Company's investment portfolio. This table excludes the Company's other
derivative and residual securities (as the risk on such securities is primarily
prepayment-related, not credit-related), certain other investments which are not
debt securities and assets held for securitization. The balances of the
investments rated below A are net of credit reserves and discounts. All balances
exclude the related mark-to-market adjustment on such assets. At September 30,
1998, securities with a credit rating of AA or better were $4.1 billion, or
92.0% of the Company's total investments compared to 92.7% and at June 30, 1998.
At the end of the third quarter 1998, $37.5 million of investments were AA-rated
by one rating agency and lower rated by another rating agency. Where investments
were split-rated, for purposes of this table, the Company classified such
investments based on the higher credit rating.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses ("G&A expense") consist of expenses
incurred in conducting the Company's production activities and managing the
investment portfolio, as well as various other corporate expenses. G&A expense
increased for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
same period in 1997, as did the G&A efficiency ratio for the same period,
primarily as a result of continued costs in connection with the build-up of the
production infrastructure for the manufacturing housing, commercial lending, and
specialty finance businesses. The Company expects overall G&A expense levels to
remain relatively constant for the remainder of 1998.
The following table summarizes the Company's efficiency and the ratio of

Net Income and Return on Equity
Net income decreased from $19.5 million for the three months ended

1998. Net income available to common shareholders decreased from $15.8 million
to $3.3 million for the same periods, respectively. Return on common equity
(excluding the impact of the net unrealized gain on investments
available-for-sale) decreased from 18.8% for the three months ended September
30, 1997 to 3.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in
the return on common equity is primarily the result of a decrease in net income
available to common shareholders due to the previously discussed increases in
amortization expense (which reduced net interest income) and G&A expenses,
reduction in gain on sale income, and the issuance of new common shares through
the dividend reinvestment program.

Dividends and Taxable Income
The Company and its qualified REIT subsidiaries (collectively "Dynex REIT")
have elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust for federal income
tax purposes. The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code require Dynex
REIT to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income,
thereby restricting its ability to retain earnings.
The Company intends to declare and pay out as dividends 100% of its taxable
income over time. The Company's current practice is to declare quarterly
dividends per share. Generally, the Company strives to declare a quarterly
dividend per share which, in conjunction with the other quarterly dividends,
will result in the distribution of most or all of the taxable income earned
during the calendar year. At the time of the dividend announcement, however, the
total level of taxable income for the quarter is unknown. Additionally, the
Company has considerations other than the desire to pay out most of its taxable
earnings, which may take precedence when determining the level of dividends.

Taxable income differs from the financial statement net income which is
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company's taxable income per
share of $0.81 was less than the Company's declared dividend per share of $0.85.
The majority of the difference was caused by GAAP and tax differences related to
the sale of the single family operations in May 1996. For tax purposes, the sale
of the single family operations is accounted for on an installment sale basis
with annual taxable income of approximately $10 million from 1996 through 2001.
The Company may reduce its dividend level in the fourth quarter of 1998 or move
the record date into 1999 in order to reduce the possibility that any portion of
the dividend being a return of capital for tax purposes. Cumulative
undistributed taxable income represents timing differences in the amounts earned
for tax purposes versus the amounts distributed. Such amounts can be distributed
for tax purposes in the subsequent year as a portion of the normal quarterly
dividend. Such amounts also include certain estimates of taxable income until
such time that the Company files its federal income tax returns for each year.
Year 2000
The Company is dependent upon purchased, leased, and internally-developed
software to conduct certain operations. In addition, the Company relies upon
certain counter-parties such as banks and loan servicers who are also highly
dependent upon computer systems. The Company recognizes that some computer
software may incorrectly recognize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The ability
of the Company and its counter-parties to correctly operate computer software in
the Year 2000 is critical to the Company's viability.
The Company uses several major and minor computer systems to conduct its
business operations. The computer systems deemed most important to the Company's
ability to continue operations are as follows:
- The internally-developed loan origination system for manufactured
housing operations
- The internally-developed loan origination and asset management
system for commercial loans
- The internally-developed investment portfolio analytics,
securitization, and securities administration software
- The purchased servicing system for commercial loans
- The purchased servicing system for single family and manufactured
housing loans
- The purchased general ledger accounting system
In addition, the Company is involved in data interchange with a number of
counter-parties in the normal course of business. Each system or interface that
the Company relies on is being tested and evaluated for Year 2000 compliance.
Dynex has contacted all of its key software vendors to determine their Year
2000 readiness. We have received documentation from each of the vendors
providing assurances of Year 2000 compliance:
- Baan/CODA, vendor of the general ledger accounting system,
has provided confirmation that their current software release is
fully Year 2000 compliant. Dynex plans to apply this release in the
first half of 1999.
- Synergy Software, vendor of the commercial loan servicing system,
has provided confirmation that an available release of their
software is fully Year 2000 compliant. Dynex plans to apply this
release in the first quarter of 1999.
- Interlinq Software, vendor of the single-family and manufactured
housing loan servicing software, has provided assurance that their
software is Year 2000 compliant.
All software developed internally by the Company was designed to be Year
2000 compliant. Nevertheless the Company has established a Year 2000 test-bed to
ensure that there were no design or development oversights that could lead to a
Year 2000 problem. Initial testing of key applications will take place in the
fourth quarter of 1998, with any necessary remediation complete by the end of
the second quarter of 1999.
Dynex has reviewed or is reviewing the Year 2000 progress of its primary
financial counter-parties. Based on initial reviews, these counterparties are
expected to be in compliance. The Company, as master servicer of certain
securities, is in the process of assessing the Year 2000 readiness of its
external servicers, to ensure that these parties will be able to correctly remit
loan information and payments after December 31, 1999.
The Company believes that, other than its exposure to financial
counterparties, its most significant risk with respect to internal or purchased
software is the software systems used to service single family loans. The
Company will not be able to service these loans without the automated system.
Should these loans go unattended for a period greater than three months, the
result could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
The Company is also at significant risk if the systems of the financial
institutions that provide the Company financing and software for cash management
services should fail. In a worst case scenario, Dynex would be unable to fund
its operations or pay on its obligations for an unknown period of failure. This
would have a material adverse impact on the Company.
The Company uses many other systems, both purchased and developed
internally, that could fail to perform accurately after December 31, 1999.
Management believes that the functions performed by these systems are either
non-critical or could be performed manually in the event of failure.
The Company will complete its Year 2000 test plan and remediation efforts
in the second quarter of 1999. Management believes that there is little
possibility of a significant disruption in business. The major risks are those
related to the ability of vendors and business partners to complete Year 2000
plans. The Company expects that those vendors and counter-parties will complete
their Year 2000 compliance programs before January 1, 2000.
The Company has incurred less than $50,000 in costs to date in carrying out
its Year 2000 compliance program. The Company estimates that it will spend less
than $100,000 to complete the plan. Costs could increase in the event that the
Company determines that a counter-party will not be Year 2000 compliant.
The Company is still developing contingency plans in the event that a
system or counter-party is not Year 2000 compliant. These plans will be
developed prior to June 30, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has various sources of cash flow upon which it relies for its
working capital needs. Sources of cash flow from operations include primarily
net interest margin and the return of principal from paydowns on the investment
portfolio. The Company's primary source of long-term funding for its investment
portfolio is through the issuance of collateralized bonds. These bonds, included
in non-recourse debt, represent debt securities issued by a bankruptcy remote
special purpose entity into the secondary markets, and are primarily backed by
the pledge of various assets, insurance policies, and over-collateralization, as
applicable. As more fully discussed below, the Company also finances its
investment portfolio using repurchase agreements which mature generally every
thirty days. In addition, the Company has various committed and uncommitted
lines of credit to finance assets held for securitization until such assets are
securitized. Historically, cash flow from operations and the Company's funding
sources have provided sufficient liquidity for the conduct of the Company's
operations. However, if a significant decline in the market value of the
Company's investment portfolio that is funded with recourse debt should occur,
or if there is a dislocation or disruption in the capital markets such that the
Company is unable to securitize assets held for securitization, the Company's
available liquidity may be reduced. As a result of such a reduction in
liquidity, the Company may be forced to sell certain investments in order to
maintain liquidity. If required, these sales could be made at prices lower than
the carrying value of such assets, which could result in losses.
As a result of current market conditions, the Company recognized a loss of
$5.0 million related to the sale of certain assets during October and the
Company may sell additional assets that could generate losses should market
conditions warrant. Also, the Company plans to securitize approximately $450
million of commercial mortgage loans in the fourth quarter, which could result
in additional losses given the current market environment.
In order to grow its equity base, the Company may issue additional capital
stock. Management strives to issue such additional shares when it believes
existing shareholders are likely to benefit from such offerings through higher
earnings and dividends per share than as compared to the level of earnings and
dividends the Company would likely generate without such offerings, or to
enhance liquidity. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company
issued 622,768 shares of its common stock pursuant to its dividend reinvestment
program for net proceeds of $7.1 million.
The Company borrows funds on a short-term basis to support the accumulation
of assets prior to the issuance of collateralized bonds. These borrowings may
bear fixed or variable interest rates, may require additional collateral in the
event that the value of the existing collateral declines, and may be due on
demand or upon the occurrence of certain events. If borrowing costs are higher
than the yields on the assets financed with such funds, the Company's ability to
acquire or fund additional assets may be substantially reduced and it may
experience losses. These short-term borrowings consist of the committed lines of
credit and uncommitted repurchase agreements. The Company currently has $650
million of committed lines of credit and $700 million of uncommitted repurchase
agreement lines of credit to finance assets held for securitization. These
borrowings are paid down as the Company securitizes or sells assets.
A substantial portion of the assets of the Company are pledged to secure
indebtedness incurred by the Company. Accordingly, those assets would not be
available for distribution to any general creditors or the stockholders of the
Company in the event of the Company's liquidation, except to the extent that the
value of such assets exceeds the amount of the indebtedness they secure.
Non-recourse Debt
The Company, through limited-purpose finance subsidiaries, has issued
non-recourse debt in the form of collateralized bonds to fund its investment
growth. The obligations under the collateralized bonds are payable solely from
the collateral for collateralized bonds and are otherwise non-recourse to the
Company. Collateral for collateralized bonds are not subject to margin calls.
The maturity of each class is directly affected by the rate of principal
prepayments on the related collateral. Each series is also subject to redemption
according to specific terms of the respective indentures. At September 30, 1998,
the Company has $3.5 billion of collateralized bonds outstanding as compared to
$3.6 billion at December 31, 1997.
Recourse Debt
Secured. At September 30, 1998, the Company had three committed credit
facilities aggregating $650 million and two uncommitted credit facilities
aggregating $700 million to finance assets held for securitization. The Company
also had one committed credit facility totaling $150 million to finance model
home purchases as of September 30, 1998. Of the $1.50 billion available, $1.25
billion expires in 1999 and $250 million expires in 2000. One of the committed
facilities includes several sublines aggregating $250 million to serve various
purposes, such as commercial loan fundings, working capital, and manufactured
housing loan fundings. Unsecured working capital borrowings under this facility
are limited to 10% of the aggregate committed amount of the facility. The
Company expects these credit facilities will be renewed, if necessary, at their
respective expiration dates, although there can be no assurance of such renewal.
The lines of credit contain certain financial covenants which the Company met as
of September 30, 1998. However, changes in asset levels or results of operations
could result in the violation of one or more covenants in the future. At
September 30, 1998, the Company had $709.6 million outstanding under its credit
facilities.
The Company finances a portion of its investments through repurchase
agreements which generally have thirty day maturities. Repurchase agreements
allow the Company to sell investments for cash together with a simultaneous
agreement to repurchase the same investments on a specified date for a price
which is equal to the original sales price plus an interest component. At
September 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding obligations of $791.6 million
under such repurchase agreements compared to $889.0 million at December 31,
1997. The following table summarizes the outstanding balances of repurchase
agreements by credit rating of the related assets pledged as collateral to
support such repurchase agreements as of September 30, 1998. The table excludes
repurchase agreements used to finance assets held for securitization, which
totaled $29.0 million at September 30, 1998.

Increases in short-term interest rates, long-term interest rates, or market
risk could negatively impact the valuation of mortgage securities and may limit
the Company's borrowing ability or cause various lenders to initiate margin
calls for mortgage securities financed using repurchase agreements.
Additionally, certain of the Company's investments are classes of securities
rated AA, A, or BBB that are subordinate to other classes from the same series
of securities. Such subordinated classes may have less liquidity than securities
that are not subordinated and the value of such classes is more dependent on the
credit rating of the related insurer or the credit performance of the underlying
mortgage loans. In instances of a downgrade of an insurer or the deterioration
of the credit quality of the underlying mortgage collateral, the Company may be
required to sell certain investments in order to maintain liquidity. If
required, these sales could be made at prices lower than the carrying value of
the assets, which could result in losses.
To reduce the Company's exposure to changes in short-term interest rates on
its repurchase agreements, the Company may lengthen the duration of its
repurchase agreements secured by investments by entering into certain interest
rate futures and/or purchased option contracts. As of September 30, 1998, the
Company had no such financial futures or option contracts outstanding.
Unsecured. Since 1994, the Company has issued three series of unsecured
notes payable totaling $150 million. The proceeds from these issuances have been
used to reduce short-term debt related to financing assets held for
securitization during the accumulation period as well as for general corporate
purposes. These notes payable have an outstanding balance at September 30, 1998
of $141 million. The Company also has various acquisition notes payable totaling
$1.1 million at September 30, 1998. The above note agreements contain certain
financial covenants which the Company met as of September 30, 1998. However,
changes in asset levels or results of operations could result in the violation
of one or more covenants in the future.
Total recourse debt increased from $1.1 billion for December 31, 1997 to
$1.6 billion for September 30, 1998. This increase is primarily a result of the
funding of $2.3 billion of loans and investments during the first nine months of
1998, net of the securitization of $1.7 billion of those investments, which
previously were financed through repurchase agreement and notes payable, as
collateral for collateralized bonds. Total recourse debt increased $0.2 billion
from $1.4 billion at June 30, 1998 to $1.6 billion at September 30, 1998 as a
result of the increased production during the third quarter. Recourse debt in
the fourth quarter of 1998 should decrease as a result of anticipated
securitizations during the fourth quarter.

Potential immediate sources of liquidity for the Company include cash
balances and unused availability on the credit facilities described above. The
potential immediate sources of liquidity decreased 69% at September 30, 1998 in
comparison to June 30, 1998. This decrease in potential immediate sources of
liquidity was due primarily to an increase in assets held for securitization, an
increase in required collateral for the Company's hedge positions related to
assets held for securitization, and an increase in collateral for certain of the
Company's assets that are subject to recourse financing.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain written statements in this Form 10-Q made by the Company, that are
not historical fact constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements may
involve factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to differ
materially from historical results or from any results expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. The Company cautions the public not to place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which may be based on assumptions
and anticipated events that do not materialize. The Company does not undertake,
and the Securities Litigation Reform Act specifically relieves the Company from,
any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Factors that may cause actual results to differ from historical results or
from any results expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the
following:
Economic Conditions. The Company is affected by consumer demand for
manufactured housing, multifamily housing and other products which it finances.
A material decline in demand for these products and services would result in a
reduction in the volume of loans originated by the Company. The risk of defaults
and credit losses could increase during an economic slowdown or recession. This
could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial performance and the
performance on the Company's securitized loan pools.
Capital Resources. The Company relies on various credit facilities and
repurchase agreements with certain investment banking firms to help meet the
Company's short-term funding needs. The Company believes that as these
agreements expire, they will continue to be available or will be able to be
replaced; however no assurance can be given as to such availability or the
prospective terms and conditions of such agreements or replacements.
Disruption in Capital Markets. The Company relies significantly on the
capital markets for both short-term and long-term funding. Any disruption to
these markets could have a materially adverse impact on the Company.
Interest Rate Fluctuations. The Company's income depends on its ability to
earn greater interest on its investments than the interest cost to finance these
investments. Interest rates in the markets served by the Company generally rise
or fall with interest rates as a whole. A majority of the loans currently
originated by the Company are fixed-rate. The profitability of a particular
securitization may be reduced if interest rates increase substantially before
these loans are securitized. In addition, the majority of the investments held
by the Company is variable rate collateral for collateralized bonds and
adjustable-rate investments. These investments are financed through non-recourse
long-term collateralized bonds and recourse short-term repurchase agreements.
The net interest spread for these investments could decrease during a period of
rapidly rising short-term interest rates, since the investments generally have
periodic interest rate caps and the related borrowing have no such interest rate
caps.
Defaults. Defaults by borrowers on loans retained by the Company may have
an adverse impact on the Company's financial performance, if actual credit
losses differ materially from estimates made by the Company at the time of
securitization. The allowance for losses is calculated on the basis of
historical experience and management's best estimates. Actual defaults may
differ from the Company's estimate as a result of economic conditions. Actual
defaults on ARM loans may increase during a rising interest rate environment.
The Company believes that its reserves are adequate for such risks.
Prepayments. Prepayments by borrowers on loans securitized by the Company
may have an adverse impact on the Company's financial performance. Prepayments
are expected to increase during a declining interest rate or flat yield curve
environment. The Company's exposure to rapid prepayments is primarily (i) the
faster amortization of premium on the investments and, to the extent applicable,
amortization of bond discount, and (ii) the replacement of investments in its
portfolio with lower yield securities. At September 30, 1998, the yield curve
was still considered flat relative to its normal shape, and as a result, the
Company expects continued high levels of prepayment through year end.
Competition. The financial services industry is a highly competitive
market. Increased competition in the market could adversely affect the Company's
market share within the industry and hamper the Company's efforts to expand its
production sources.
Regulatory Changes. The Company's business is subject to federal and state
regulation which, among other things require the Company to maintain various
licenses and qualifications and require specific disclosures to borrowers.
Changes in existing laws and regulations or in the interpretation thereof, or
the introduction of new laws and regulations, could adversely affect the
Company's operation and the performance of the Company's securitized loan pools.
New Production Sources. The Company has expanded both its manufactured
housing and commercial lending businesses. The Company is incurring or will
incur expenditures related to the start-up of these businesses, with no
guarantee that production targets set by the Company will be met or that these
businesses will be profitable. Various factors such as economic conditions,
interest rates, competition and the lack of the Company's prior experience in
these businesses could all impact these new production sources.
