                         Report of Independent Auditors

Benefits Committee
Capital One Financial Corporation

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Capital One  Financial  Corporation  Associate  Savings  Plan  ("Plan") as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related  statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Plan'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 financial 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 financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the net assets  available  for benefits of the Plan at
December  31,  1998 and 1997,  and the changes in its net assets  available  for
benefits  for the years  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

     Our  audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying  supplemental  schedules
of assets held for  investment  purposes as of December 31, 1998, and reportable
transactions  for the year then ended,  are presented for purposes of additional
analysis  and  are  not a  required  part of the  financial  statements  but are
supplementary  information  required  by the  Department  of  Labor's  Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The Fund Information in the statement of net assets available
for benefits and the  statement of changes in net assets  available for benefits
is presented for purposes of additional  analysis rather than to present the net
assets  available  for  benefits  and the  changes in net assets  available  for
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been
subjected  to  auditing  procedures  applied  in our  audits  of  the  financial
statements  and, in our opinion,  are fairly stated in all material  respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                                                            /s/ERNST & YOUNG LLP

            Capital One Financial Corporation Associate Savings Plan

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1998


Note 1--Description of Plan

Effective January 1, 1995, Capital One Financial Corporation (the "Corporation")
established and adopted the Capital One Financial  Corporation Associate Savings
Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of its eligible  associates.  American Express
Trust Company (the "Trustee")  serves as the  administrator  and trustee for the
Plan and its assets.

Through a November 12, 1998 amendment to the Plan effective January 1, 1999, all
employees  of  Summit  Acceptance  Corporation  (a Texas  corporation  which was
acquired by the Corporation on July 31, 1998) who were eligible  participants of
the Summit 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Summit Plan"), became eligible participants
in the Plan.  Additionally,  the Plan  accepted  the  transfer of all assets and
liabilities  attributable to participants of the Summit Plan,  effective January
1, 1999.  At December  31,  1998 the net assets in the Summit Plan  approximated
$850,000.

The  following  description  of the  Plan  provides  only  general  information.
Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete  description
of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all associates of
the Corporation and can provide a benefit for disability,  death, termination or
retirement.  The Plan is subject to the  provisions  of the Employee  Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions

Each year, participants may contribute 1% to 15% of pre-tax annual compensation,
as  defined  in the  Plan.  Such  contributions  may be  pre-tax  dollars,  or a
combination  of pre- and after-tax  dollars.  Participants  may also  contribute
amounts  representing   distributions  from  other  qualified  plans  ("rollover
contributions").  The  Corporation  contributes  50%  of  the  first  6% of  the
participant's  annual  compensation that a participant  contributes to the Plan.
The Corporation contributes 3% of participants' eligible salaries, regardless of
participation in the Plan.  Additional  amounts equal to 3% of the participants'
eligible  salaries for those  participants  making pre-tax  contributions to the
Plan at year end may be contributed at the option of the Corporation's  Board of
Directors.



<PAGE>



Note 1--Description of Plan (continued)

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's  contributions and
allocations of the Corporation's  contributions  and Plan earnings.  Allocations
are based  upon the number of units of the Plan in each  participant's  account.
Forfeited  balances of terminated  participants'  nonvested accounts are used to
pay administrative expenses of the Plan, to the extent available.  Plan expenses
in excess of  forfeitures,  if any,  are  absorbed  by the  Corporation.  Excess
forfeitures,  if any, are applied as employer contributions made in advance, and
reduce  the  Corporation's  future   contributions.   The  benefit  to  which  a
participant   is  entitled  is  the  benefit  that  can  be  provided  from  the
participant's account.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their  contributions plus actual earnings
thereon.  Vesting in the  Corporation's  contribution  portion of their accounts
plus  actual  earnings  thereon  is  based on years  of  continuous  service.  A
participant is 100% vested after two years of service.

Investment Options

Upon  enrollment  in the Plan, a  participant  may direct  employer and employee
contributions  in any of ten  investment  options.  Participants  generally  may
change their investment  options at any time.  Investment  options are described
below.

          Capital  One Pooled  Company  Stock Fund - Monies are  invested by the
          Trustee  in a  unitized  trust  fund  which  invests  in shares of the
          Corporation's  common  stock.  The Trustee  shall also be permitted to
          invest in short-term  temporary  investments,  including  pooled funds
          which bear interest at market rates.

          American  Express  Trust Money  Market  Fund II - Monies are  invested
          primarily in short-term debt securities.

          American  Express  Trust Equity Index Fund II - Ninety  percent of the
          monies held by this fund are  invested in common stock and the balance
          is invested in S&P 500 stock index futures.

          IDS Y (American  Express) Federal Income Fund - Monies are invested in
          U.S. government agency securities.

          IDS Y (American  Express)  Mutual Fund - Monies are invested in common
          stocks and senior securities, such as bonds and preferred stocks.


<PAGE>



Note 1--Description of Plan (continued)

          IDS Y  (American  Express)  Stock Fund - Monies are  invested in large
          capitalization, blue chip stocks and investment grade bonds.

          AIM  Constellation  Fund - Monies are  invested in the common stock of
          primarily small and medium-sized companies.

          Templeton  Foreign Fund - Monies are invested  primarily in the common
          stock of companies outside the U.S.

          Baron Asset Fund - Monies are  invested in common  stocks of small and
          medium-sized companies.

          Davis New York Venture (A) - Monies are  invested in common  stocks of
          medium to large-sized companies.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash  and  cash   equivalents   represent   contributions   received  from  plan
participants not yet invested in participant-designated  investment funds by the
Trustee. Cash balances are the result of timing differences between contribution
date and trade date.

Participant Notes Receivable

Participants  may elect to borrow from their fund  accounts a minimum of $1,000;
up to a  maximum  of the  lesser  of  $50,000,  or 50% of their  vested  account
balance.  Loan  transactions  are treated as a transfer from (to) the investment
fund to (from)  the loan fund.  Loan  terms  range from 1 to 5 years or up to 10
years for the  purchase  of a primary  residence.  The loans are  secured by the
balance in the  participant's  account and bear interest at a rate  commensurate
with local prevailing rates as determined by the Benefits  Committee.  Principal
and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.

Payment of Benefits

On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive an amount equal to
the vested value of his or her account through a lump-sum distribution or equal,
or nearly equal,  payments made at least  annually for a period not to exceed 15
years. If the participant has invested in the Capital One pooled fund, he or she
may  elect to  receive  distributions  of whole  shares  of  common  stock  with
fractional shares paid in cash.

Note 2--Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial  statements of the Plan are prepared  under the accrual  method of
accounting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Units in the Capital One Pooled
Company  Stock Fund are valued  based upon the stock price at the last  reported
sales price on the last business day of the plan year.  The shares of registered
investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net
asset values of shares held by the Plan as of  year-end.  Money market funds and
participant notes receivable are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded based on the trade date. Interest
income  is  recorded  on  the  accrual  basis.  Dividends  are  recorded  on the
ex-dividend date.

Reclassifications

Certain  prior  year  amounts  have been  reclassified  to  conform  to the 1998
presentation.


Note 3--Investments

The fair values of the following individual  investments  represented 5% or more
of the Plan's net assets as of December 31, 1998 or 1997:

                                                          December 31,
                                                     1998              1997
                                                 -----------       -----------

Capital One Pooled Company Stock Fund            $60,034,430       $21,795,608
American Express Trust Money Market Fund II       14,152,910        10,220,258
American Express Trust Equity Index Fund II       14,817,046         9,181,548
AIM Constellation Fund                            10,127,899         7,944,122
IDS Y (American Express) Stock Fund                7,495,353         5,353,113


<PAGE>



Note 4--Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Corporation has the right
to terminate the Plan subject to the  provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan
termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

Note 5--Tax Status

The Internal  Revenue  Service  ruled on April 10, 1997 that the Plan  qualifies
under  Section  401(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code (IRC) and,  therefore,  the
related  trust  is not  subject  to tax  under  present  income  tax  law.  Once
qualified,  the  Plan is  required  to  operate  in  conformity  with the IRC to
maintain its qualification. The Benefits Committee is not aware of any course of
action or events  that have  occurred  that  might  adversely  affect the Plan's
qualified status.

Note 6--Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

During 1998 and 1997,  certain Plan investments  included shares of mutual funds
managed by American Express. In addition,  the Plan had invested $60,034,430 and
$21,795,608,  at fair value,  in the Capital One Pooled Company Stock Fund as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
