         When used in this form 10-Q or future filings by the Company with the

         The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on

g.     Segment information

       The Company operates three reportable segments identified by line of
       business: mortgage banking, banking and broker-dealer operations.
       Management made this determination based on operating decisions
       particular to each business line and because each one targets different
       customers and requires different strategies. The majority of the
       Company's operations are conducted in Puerto Rico.

       The Company monitors the performance of its reportable segments based on
       pre-established goals for different financial parameters such as net
       income, interest rate spread, loan production and increase in market
       share.

       The information that follows presents net interest income after
       provision for loan losses, non-interest income, net income and
       identifiable assets for each of the Company's reportable segments for
       the periods presented.

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

GENERAL

       Doral Financial Corporation is a financial holding company that, together
with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in mortgage banking, banking,
investment banking and broker-dealer activities. It is primarily engaged in a
wide range of mortgage banking activities, including the origination, purchase,
sale and servicing of mortgage loans on single-family residences, the issuance
and sale of various types of mortgage-backed securities, the holding of mortgage
loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities for sale or
investment, the purchase and sale of servicing rights associated with such
mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, the origination of construction loans
and mortgage loans secured by income producing real estate and land (the
"mortgage banking business").

       Doral Financial is currently in its 28th year of operations. The Company
is the leading originator of mortgage loans on single-family residences in
Puerto Rico and also manages the largest portfolio of mortgage loans in the
Island. The volume of loans originated and purchased during the quarters ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999 by Doral Financial was approximately $781.8 million and
$702.3 million, respectively. Doral Financial's mortgage servicing portfolio
increased to approximately $7.9 billion as of March 31, 2000, from $6.6 billion
as of the same date a year ago, an increase of 20%. Doral Financial's strategy
is to increase the size of its mortgage servicing portfolio by relying
principally on internal loan originations.

       Doral Financial maintains a substantial portfolio of mortgage-backed
securities. This is a direct result of the Company's mortgage securitization
activities. At March 31, 2000, Doral Financial held securities for trading with
a fair market value of $1.0 billion, approximately $665.3 million of which
consisted of Puerto Rico GNMA securities, the interest on which is tax-exempt
to the Company. These securities are generally held by Doral Financial for
longer periods prior to sale in order to maximize the tax-exempt interest
received thereon. Securities held-for-trading are reflected on Doral
Financial's Consolidated Financial Statements at their fair market value with
resulting gains or losses included in operations as part of trading account
profit.

       As part of its strategy to maximize net interest income, Doral Financial
also invests in securities that are classified as available-for-sale or
held-to-maturity. During the first quarter of 2000 the Company purchased $28.1
million in securities classified as held-to-maturity. As of March 31, 2000,
Doral Financial held approximately $1.5 billion in securities and other
investments that are classified as held-to-maturity. As of March 31, 2000,
Doral Financial also held $143.4 million of investment securities that were
classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains or losses included in stockholders' equity and reported as "Accumulated
other comprehensive income, net of taxes," in Doral Financial's Consolidated
Financial Statements.

       For the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company's banking
subsidiaries contributed approximately $4.1 million and $2.7 million,
respectively, to the Company's consolidated net income, which includes the
operations of Doral Money, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Doral Bank PR.

       The Company's broker-dealer operation is conducted through Doral
Securities, a NASD member subsidiary that provides retail and institutional
financial advisory and investment banking services in Puerto Rico. For the
quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, Doral Securities' net income was
approximately $339,000 and $210,000, respectively. The increase in net income
reflects an increase in customer accounts and interest-earning assets during
these periods. Assets in customer brokerage accounts increased to $255 million
as of March 31, 2000, from $149 million as of the same date a year ago, an
increase of 71%.

       Unlike most financial holding companies, Doral Financial has significant
assets and operations at the holding company level. HF Mortgage Bankers, one of
the Company's principal mortgage units, is organized as an operating

division within the parent company. As of March 31, 2000 Doral Financial had
assets and net income of $2.2 billion and $9.7 million, respectively, at the
parent company level.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999

       Doral Financial's operations are mainly the result of: (i) the level of
loan production; (ii) the behavior of the mortgage loan servicing portfolio;
(iii) the various components of the Company's revenues; (iv) the elements of
risk inherent to loan activities; and (v) the Company's ability to manage its
liquidity demands and capital resources. These factors are, in turn, primarily
influenced by: (i) the direction of interest rates; (ii) the level of demand
for mortgage credit; (iii) the strength of the economy in Puerto Rico; and (iv)
the relationship between interest rates and the cost of funds.

       (1)    Includes $12.3 million and $2.7 million in second mortgages for
              the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
       (2)    Includes $18.2 million and $5.7 million in home equity or
              personal loans secured by real estate mortgages of up to $40,000
              for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
       (3)    Consists of construction loans on residential projects, mortgage
              loans secured by multi-family and commercial properties as well
              as other commercial, land and consumer loans.

       A substantial portion of Doral Financial's total mortgage loan
originations has consistently been comprised of refinance loans. For the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, refinance loans represented approximately
48%


                                      15
<PAGE>   16

and 64%, respectively, of the total dollar volume of mortgage loans originated
(excluding loans purchased from third parties). Doral Financial's future
results could be adversely affected by a significant increase in mortgage
interest rates that reduces refinancing activity.

       Doral Financial customarily sells or securitizes into mortgage-backed
securities substantially all the loans it originates, except for certain
consumer, construction, land, and commercial loans which are held for
investment and classified as loans receivable.

MORTGAGE LOAN SERVICING

       Doral Financial's principal source of servicing rights has traditionally
been its internal mortgage loan production. However, during the first quarters
of 2000 and 1999, Doral Financial purchased servicing rights to approximately
$42.5 million and $72.9 million, respectively, in principal amount of mortgage
loans. Doral Financial intends to continue growing its mortgage servicing
portfolio by internal loan originations and will continue to seek and consider
attractive opportunities for bulk purchases of servicing rights from third
parties.

(1)      Includes $1.3 billion and $877 million of loans owned by the Company at
         March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, which represented 17% and 13% of
         the total servicing portfolio as of such dates.
(2)      Excludes approximately $102.8 million and $64.9 million of commercial,
         construction and loans sold with servicing released not included in the
         Company's mortgage servicing portfolio as of March 31, 2000 and 1999.
(3)      Run-off refers to regular amortization of loans, prepayments and
         foreclosures.

         Substantially all of the mortgage loans in Doral Financial's servicing
portfolio are secured by single (one-to-four) family residences secured by real
estate located in Puerto Rico. At March 31, 2000 and 1999, less than 6% of Doral
Financial's mortgage servicing portfolio was related to mortgages secured by
real property located outside Puerto Rico.

COMPONENTS OF REVENUES

         As shown in Doral Financial's Consolidated Statements of Income, the
principal components of Doral Financial's revenues are: (i) net interest income;
(ii) net gains on mortgage loan sales; (iii) servicing income; (iv) trading
account profit; (v) gain on sale of investment securities; and (vi) commissions,
fees and other income.

NET INCOME

         Doral Financial's net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
increased $4.6 million, or 29%, from $15.7 million for the 1999 period to $20.3
million for the 2000 period. Consolidated results include the operations of
Doral Bank PR and Doral Bank NY, Doral Financial's banking units, which
contributed approximately $4.1 million to Doral Financial's consolidated net
income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to $2.7 million for the
respective 1999 period, and Doral Securities, Doral Financial's investment
banking and broker-dealer unit, which contributed $339,000 to consolidated net
income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to $210,000 for the
respective 1999 period. Diluted earnings per common share for the first quarter
of 2000 were $0.45, an increase of 25% over the $0.36 per diluted share recorded
for the same period a year ago.

         NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net interest income is the excess of interest earned by Doral Financial
on its interest-earning assets over the interest incurred on its
interest-bearing liabilities.

         The increase in net interest income for the first quarter of 2000, as
compared to the respective 1999 period, was principally due to an increase in
Doral Financial's average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning
assets for the quarter grew by 61% from March 31, 1999 to March 31, 2000, while
net interest income grew by only 1% during the same period. The lower growth in
net interest income relative to the growth in average interest-earning assets
was affected by the reduction of the spread between long-term and short-term
rates, an increase in market interest rates which affects the average cost of
funds used to finance operations, and a decrease in net interest-earning assets,
which was due in part to the incurrence of borrowings not directly related to
the acquisition or creation of interest-earning assets.

         The Company's banking subsidiaries contributed approximately $8.0
million or 73% of the consolidated net interest income of Doral Financial for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to $5.1 million or 52% of
consolidated net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

</TABLE>

         INTEREST INCOME

         Total interest income increased from approximately $42.7 million during
the first quarter of 1999, to $71.5 million during the first quarter of 2000, an
increase of 67%. The increase in interest income is primarily related to the
increase in Doral Financial's total average interest-earning assets, which
increased from $2.5 billion at March 31, 1999 to $4.1 billion at March 31, 2000.

         Interest income on loans increased by $6.2 million or 34% during the
first quarter of 2000, as compared to the respective 1999 period. The increase
during 2000 reflected an increase in the level of loans held by Doral Financial
as compared to 1999, due to the increased volume of loan originations and an
increase in the average rate of loans held during the period.

         Interest income on mortgage-backed securities for the first quarter of
2000 increased by 43% compared to the respective 1999 period. For the quarters
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, interest income on this type of interest-earning
asset amounted to $19.2 million and $13.5 million, respectively. The results for
the 2000 period reflect the increase of mortgage-backed securities, mainly
comprised of tax-exempt Puerto Rico GNMA securities, which Doral Financial holds
for longer periods prior to sale in order to maximize tax-exempt interest income
on such securities.

         Interest income on investment securities increased by $15.1 million
during the first quarter of 2000, as compared to the same period of 1999, from
$7.5 million to $22.6 million. These results reflect the increase in the average
balance of investment securities held during the period to $1.4 billion as of
March 31, 2000, compared to $477.0 million as of March 31, 1999. The increase in
investment securities reflects Doral Financial's strategy to increase its
tax-exempt income by investing in U.S. Treasury and agency securities, the
interest on which is tax-exempt to Doral Financial under Puerto Rico law and is
not subject to U.S. income taxation because of Doral Financial's status as a
foreign corporation for U.S. income tax purposes.

         Interest income on other interest-earning assets increased by $1.7
million or 49% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the same
quarter a year ago. Other interest-earning assets consist primarily of money
market instruments, overnight deposits, term deposits, and reverse repurchase
agreements. The increase from 1999 to 2000 was due primarily to higher liquidity
and the investment of such liquidity in short-term investments. The increase


                                       20
<PAGE>   21



in interest income from other interest-earning assets reflects Doral Financial's
strategy to diversify its sources of interest income by expanding its business
segments, primarily banking, investment banking and broker-dealer activities.

         INTEREST EXPENSE

         Total interest expense increased to $60.5 million during the first
quarter of 2000, compared to $31.9 million for the respective 1999 period, an
increase of 90%. The increase in interest expense for the 2000 period was due
primarily to the increase in the average amount of interest-bearing liabilities,
which funded the growth in interest-earning assets. Average interest-bearing
liabilities increased to $4.1 billion at an average cost of 5.98% as of March
31, 2000, compared to $2.4 billion at an average cost of 5.30% as of March 31,
1999.

         Interest expense related to loans payable increased by $1.8 million or
30% during the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period of 1999 as a
result of higher interest rates. The weighted-average interest rate cost for
borrowings under Doral Financial's warehouse lines of credit was 7.53% and 5.88%
for the first quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Interest expense related to securities sold under agreements to
repurchase increased by $13.9 million or 92 % during the first quarter of 2000
as compared to the same period of 1999. The increase during this period
reflected increased borrowings to finance mortgage-backed securities and other
investment securities. The weighted average interest rate cost of borrowings
under repurchase agreements was 5.66% and 5.13% for the first quarters of 2000
and 1999, respectively.

         Interest expense on deposits increased by $6.5 million, or 97%, for the
first quarter of 2000 as compared to the respective 1999 period. This increase
is primarily related to a higher deposit base, which increased $1.1 billion as
of March 31, 2000, from $649.4 million as of the same date a year ago due to the
fact that Doral Financial's banking subsidiaries now operate through a total of
20 branches, including one federal saving bank opened in New York City during
the fourth quarter of 1999, compared to a total of twelve branches as of the
same date a year ago. This trend of expansion is expected to continue throughout
the remainder of 2000 and into 2001. The average interest cost on deposits was
5.09% and 4.46%, respectively, for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

         Interest expense on other borrowed funds was $11.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, as compared to $4.4 million for the same period a
year ago, an increase of 149%. The increase for the 2000 period is mainly due to
the issuance of $229 million of medium term notes during the second half of
1999, and increases in the amount of FHLB- NY advances for the comparative
periods. For the first quarter of 2000, the weighted average interest rate cost
for other borrowed funds was 7.58%, compared to 7.16% for the corresponding 1999
period. Interest expense on other borrowed funds includes, in addition to those
mentioned above, various term notes issued by Doral Bank PR and Doral
Financial's $75 million senior notes due October 10, 2006, as well as various
other borrowings.

         PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses relates to loans held by Doral Financial.
The provision is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan
losses to a level considered appropriate by management based on Doral
Financial's loss experience, current delinquency rates, known and inherent risk
in the loan portfolio, the estimated value and equity of any underlying
collateral, and an assessment of current economic conditions. While management
believes that the current provision for loan losses is sufficient, future
additions to the allowance for loan losses could be necessary if economic
conditions change substantially from the assumptions used by Doral Financial in
determining the allowance for loan losses.

(1)      Relates to both mortgage loans held-for-sale and to loans receivable
         held for investment.

         The allowance for loan losses relating to loans held by Doral Financial
was $6.9 million at March 31, 2000, compared to $5.4 million as of March 31,
1999. The increase in the allowance was primarily the result of the increase in
the size of the loan portfolio as well as an increase in the amount of
construction, commercial real estate and other commercial loans for which Doral
Financial provides a higher allowance for loan losses.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

         Net Gains on Mortgage Loan Sales. Net gains from mortgage loan sales
increased by 49% during the first quarter of 2000 to $24.1 million, as compared
to the same period of 1999. The increase for 2000 was mainly the result of a
greater volume of loan securitizations and the ability of the Company to obtain
higher profitability through higher loan fees resulting in increased gains on
sales, including through the creation of interest only strips ("IOs") in
connection with bulk sales of mortgage loans to corporate investors. See
"Amortization of IOs and Servicing Assets."

         Servicing Income. Servicing income represents revenues earned for
administering mortgage loans. The main component of Doral Financial's servicing
income is loan servicing fees, which depend on the type of mortgage loan being
serviced. The fees on residential mortgage loans range from 0.25% to 0.50% of
the declining outstanding principal amount of the serviced loan. The size of
Doral Financial's loan servicing portfolio and the amount of its servicing fees
have increased substantially since its inception as a result of increases in
internal loan originations combined with bulk purchases of servicing rights.
During the first quarters of 2000 and 1999, Doral Financial purchased servicing
rights to approximately $42.5 million and $72.9 million, respectively, of
mortgages through bulk purchases. Doral Financial anticipates that it will
continue to make bulk purchases of mortgage servicing rights in the future to
the extent it can identify attractive opportunities.

         The increase in the amount of loan servicing income for the first
quarter of 2000 was primarily due to the increase in the principal amount of
loans serviced as compared to the 1999 period. The mortgage servicing portfolio
was approximately $7.9 billion at March 31, 2000, compared to $6.6 billion as of
March 31, 1999.

         The amount of principal prepayments on mortgage loans serviced by Doral
Financial was $135.0 million and $205.0 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This represented approximately 7% and 13%,
respectively, on an annualized basis of the average principal amount of mortgage
loans serviced. Doral Financial reduces the sensitivity of its servicing income
to increases in prepayment rates through a strong retail origination network
that increased or maintained the size of Doral Financial's servicing portfolio
even during periods of high prepayments.

         Trading Account Profit. Trading account profit includes all gains or
losses, whether realized or unrealized, in the market value of Doral Financial's
securities held-for-trading, as well as gains or losses on options and future
contracts used for interest rate management purposes. Trading account activities
for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, resulted in gains of $927,000
and $5.5 million, respectively, including $4.5 million and $1.0 million of
unrealized gains, respectively, on the value of its securities held-for-trading
pursuant to SFAS No. 115.

         For the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, trading account profit
included $2.9 million in losses and $3.6 million in gains, respectively, on
options and futures contracts used for interest rate management purposes,
including unrealized gains or losses charged to operations as a result of mark
to market adjustments.

         Gain on Sale of Investment Securities. Gain on sale of investment
securities represents the impact on income of transactions involving the sale of
securities available-for-sale. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the
Company recorded $3.3 million in gains on sale of investment securities. During
the first quarter of 1999, the Company had no transactions involving the sale of
this type of securities.

         Gain on Sale of Servicing Assets. There were no sales of servicing
assets during the first quarters of 2000 or 1999. While Doral Financial's
strategy is to continue to increase the size of its servicing portfolio by
retaining the servicing rights on the mortgage loans it originates, the Company
may sell servicing rights in the future when market conditions are favorable.

         Commissions, Fees and Other Income. Other income, commissions and fees
increased 157% during the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the same 1999
period. The increase during the 2000 period was due primarily to increased
commissions and fees earned by Doral Financial's banking and broker-dealer
subsidiaries.

         NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

         Total non-interest expense increased by only 13% during the first
quarter ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the respective 1999 period,
notwithstanding the opening of 22 retail offices since March 31, 1999, as a
result of Doral Financial's ongoing cost reduction plan.

         PUERTO RICO INCOME TAXES

         The maximum statutory corporate income tax rate in Puerto Rico is 39%.
For the first quarters of 2000 and 1999, the effective income tax rate of Doral
Financial was 10% and 12%, respectively.

         The lower effective tax rates (as compared to the maximum statutory
rate) experienced by the Company reflect the fact that the portion of the net
interest income derived from certain FHA and VA mortgage loans secured by
properties located in Puerto Rico and on GNMA securities backed by such mortgage
loans is exempt from income tax under Puerto Rico law. The interest received on
U.S. Treasury and agency securities is also exempt from Puerto Rico income
taxation.

AMORTIZATION OF IOS AND SERVICING ASSETS

         Doral Financial creates IOs (previously classified as excess servicing
fees receivable) as a result of the sale of loans in bulk or securitization
transactions. IOs are created on the sale of loans with servicing retained, by
computing the present value of the excess of the weighted-average coupon on the
loans sold over the sum of: (i) the pass-through interest paid to the investor
and (ii) normal servicing fee, based on the servicing fee permitted by FNMA and
FHLMC, and adjusting such amount for expected losses and prepayments. The amount
of the IOs is recognized at the time of sale of the related loans as an
adjustment to the resulting gain or loss on the sale of loans and is recorded as
a component of "Net Gains on Mortgage Loan Sales" on Doral Financial's
Consolidated Statements of Income. Sales of mortgage loans made during the first
quarter of 2000 resulted in the recording of approximately $17.0 million of IOs,
compared to $10.6 million for the corresponding 1999 period. The unamortized
balance of the IOs is reflected in Doral Financial's Consolidated Statement of
Condition as a component of "Trading securities."

         IOs are amortized over the expected life of the asset and such
amortization is recorded as a reduction of interest income. The amortization of
IOs is based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows to be
received with respect to the IOs. Amortization of IOs for each of the quarters
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, was approximately $2.8 million and $1.7 million,
respectively.

         Beginning with the second quarter of 1995, following the implementation
by Doral Financial of SFAS No. 122 (later superseded by SFAS No. 125), whenever
Doral Financial sells a mortgage loan, it assigns a fair value to the related
mortgage servicing right (the "servicing asset") associated with such mortgage
loan. The servicing asset represents the present value of the servicing fees
expected to be received on the loan over the expected term of the loan. The
amount of the servicing asset is recognized at the time of sale of the related
loan as an adjustment to the resulting gain or loss on the sale of the loan and
is recorded as a component of "Net Gains on Mortgage Loan Sales" on Doral
Financial's Consolidated Statement of Income. The increase in the creation of
servicing assets reflects increased mortgage loan sales and securitizations
during such periods and bulk purchases of servicing rights. The unamortized
balance of the servicing asset is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of
Condition of Doral Financial. (Refer to Table G for servicing assets activities
for the periods indicated).

         Doral Financial's servicing assets are amortized in proportion to, and
over the period of, estimated servicing income. Amortization of servicing assets
is included as a component of "Non-interest expense-Amortization of Servicing
Assets" in Doral Financial's Consolidated Statements of Income and Retained
Earnings.

</TABLE>


         Increases in prepayment rates or credit loss rates over anticipated
levels used in calculating the value of IOs and servicing assets can adversely
affect Doral Financial's revenues and liquidity by increasing the amortization
rates for servicing assets and IOs, as well as requiring Doral Financial to
recognize an impairment against income over and above scheduled amortization.
See "Interest Rate Management." The portion of Doral Financial's mortgage
servicing portfolio consisting of the servicing asset that was originated by
Doral Financial prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 122 is not reflected as an
asset on Doral Financial's Consolidated Financial Statements, and is not subject
to amortization or impairment.

CREDIT RISKS RELATED TO LOAN ACTIVITIES

         With respect to mortgage loans originated for sale as part of Doral
Financial's mortgage banking business, the Company is generally at risk for any
mortgage loan default from the time the Company originates the mortgage loan
until the time it sells the loan or packages it into a mortgage-backed security.
With respect to FHA loans, the Company is fully insured as to principal by the
FHA against foreclosure loss. VA loans are guaranteed up to 25% to 50% of the
principal amount of the loan subject to a maximum, ranging from $22,500 to
$50,750. Loan-to-value ratios for residential mortgage loans generally do not
exceed 80% (85% for qualifying home purchase transactions through Doral Bank PR)
unless private mortgage insurance is obtained.

         Loans that do not qualify for the insurance or guarantee programs of
FHA and VA, or the sale or exchange programs of FNMA or FHLMC ("non-conforming
loans"), including loans secured by multi-family projects, are often sold to
investors on a partial or full recourse basis or with put back options to the
purchasers. In such cases, the Company retains part or all of the credit risk
associated with such loan after sale. As of March 31, 2000, the maximum amount
of loans that the Company would have been required to repurchase if all loans
subject to recourse defaulted or if investors exercised their put back options
was $603.0 million. As of March 31, 2000, the Company maintained a reserve of
$1.4 million for potential losses from such arrangements which is included in
"Accrued expenses and other liabilities" in the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements.

         Loans secured by income-producing residential and commercial properties
involve greater credit risk because they are larger in size and more risk is
concentrated in a single borrower. The properties securing these loans are also
more difficult to dispose of in case of foreclosure.

         Doral Financial is also subject to credit risk with respect to its
portfolio of loans receivable. Loans receivable represent loans that Doral
Financial holds for investment and, therefore, Doral Financial is at risk for
the term of the loan.


                                       25
<PAGE>   26



As of March 31, 2000, approximately 23% of Doral Financial's gross loans
receivable portfolio consisted of residential mortgage loans.

         Doral Financial manages credit risk by maintaining sound underwriting
standards, monitoring the quality of the loan portfolio, assessing reserves and
loan concentrations, recruiting qualified credit officers, implementing and
monitoring lending policies and collateral requirements, and instituting
procedures to ensure appropriate actions to comply with laws and regulations.
The Company's collateral requirements for loans depend on the financial strength
of the borrower and the type of loan involved. Acceptable collateral principally
includes cash, deposit and investment accounts and real estate, and, to a lesser
extent, liens on accounts receivable, lease receivables, inventory and personal
property. In the case of non-conforming loans sold subject to recourse, the
Company also generally requires lower loan-to-value ratios to protect itself
from possible losses on foreclosure.

         Because most of Doral Financial's loans are made to borrowers located
in Puerto Rico and secured by properties located in Puerto Rico, the Company is
subject to greater credit risks tied to adverse economic, political or business
developments and natural hazards, such as hurricanes, that may affect the
Island. For example, if Puerto Rico's real estate market were to experience an
overall decline in property values, the Company's rates of loss on foreclosure
would probably increase.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

         Non-performing assets ("NPAs") consist of loans held-for-sale past due
90 days and still accruing, loans on a non-accrual basis and other real estate
owned. Mortgage loans held-for-sale by Doral Financial's mortgage banking units
are not normally placed on a non-accrual basis following default. Doral
Financial believes that this policy is reasonable because these loans are
adequately secured by real estate and the amounts due on the loans are generally
recovered in foreclosure. Doral Financial's banking subsidiaries policy is to
place all loans 90 days or more past due on a non-accrual basis, at which point
a reserve for all unpaid interest previously accrued is established. Interest
income is recognized when the borrower makes a payment, and the loan will return
to an accrual basis when it is no longer 90 or more days delinquent and
collectibility is reasonably assured. For the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, Doral Financial's banking subsidiaries would have recognized $564,000 and
$379,000, respectively, in additional interest income had all delinquent loans
owned by the banking subsidiaries been accounted for on an accrual basis.

         The following table sets forth information with respect to Doral
Financial's non-accrual loans, other real estate owned ("OREO") and other
non-performing assets as of the dates indicated. Doral Financial did not have
any troubled debt restructurings as of any of the periods presented.

(1)      Does not include approximately $30.8 million and $26.1 million of 90
         days past due FHA/VA loans as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
         respectively, which are not considered non-performing assets by Doral
         Financial because the principal balance of these loans is insured or
         guaranteed under applicable FHA and VA programs and interest is, in
         most cases, fully recovered in foreclosure procedures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Doral Financial has an ongoing need for capital to finance its lending
and investing activities. This need is expected to increase as the volume of the
loan originations and investing activity increases. Doral Financial's cash
requirements arise from loan originations and purchases, repayments of debt upon
maturity, payments of operating and interest expenses and servicing advances and
loan repurchases. Servicing agreements relating to the mortgage-backed
securities programs of FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA, and certain other investors and
mortgage loans sold to certain other purchasers, require Doral Financial to
advance funds to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, taxes and
insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. The
Company generally recovers funds advanced pursuant to these arrangements within
30 days. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the average monthly amount of
funds advanced by Doral Financial under such servicing agreements was
approximately $9.7 million, compared to $7.6 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999.

         Doral Financial's primary sources of liquidity are sales in the
secondary mortgage market of the loans it originates and purchases, short-term
borrowings under warehouse, gestation and repurchase agreement lines of credit
secured by pledges of its loans and mortgage-backed securities and revenues from
operations. In the past, Doral Financial has also relied on privately-placed and
publicly offered debt financings and public offerings of preferred and common
stock. Doral Financial's bank subsidiaries also rely on deposits, borrowings
from the FHLB-NY as well as term notes backed by letters of credit of the
FHLB-NY.

         The following table shows Doral Financial's sources of borrowings and

deposits as a source of long-term funds.

         As of March 31, 2000, Doral Financial, Doral Bank PR and Doral Bank NY
were in compliance with all the regulatory capital requirements that were
applicable to them as a financial holding company, state non-member bank and
Federal savings bank, respectively (i.e., total capital and Tier 1 capital to
risk weighted assets of at least 8% and 4%, respectively, and Tier 1 capital to
average assets of at least 4%). Set forth below are Doral Financial's, Doral
Bank PR's and Doral Bank NY's regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2000,

------------------------
(1)      In connection with the chartering of Doral Bank NY in October 1999, the
         FDIC required that it be initially capitalized with $25 million. As
         Doral Bank NY continues to increase its assets, its capital ratios can
         be expected to decline.

         As of March 31, 2000, each of Doral Bank PR and Doral Bank NY were
considered well-capitalized banks for purposes of the prompt corrective action
regulations adopted by the FDIC pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. To be considered a well capitalized
institution under the FDIC's regulations, an institution must maintain a
Leverage Ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of at least 6% and a Total
Capital Ratio of at least 10% and not be subject to any written agreement or
directive to meet a specific capital ratio.

         Doral Financial expects that it will continue to have adequate
liquidity, financing arrangements and capital resources to finance its
operations. Doral Financial will continue to explore alternative and
supplementary methods of financing its operations, including both debt and
equity financing. There can be no assurance, however, that Doral Financial will
be successful in consummating any such transactions.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

         At March 31, 2000, Doral Financial's total assets were $4.8 billion
compared to $4.5 billion at December 31, 1999. The increase in assets was due
primarily to a net increase in the loan portfolio of $318.6 million. Total
liabilities were $4.4 billion at March 31, 2000, compared to $4.2 billion at
December 31, 1999. The increase in liabilities was largely the result of an
increase in borrowings under warehousing lines of credit, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase and deposit accounts. At March 31, 2000, deposit
accounts totaled $1.1 billion, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 1999. As
of March 31, 2000, Doral Financial's banking subsidiaries had $2.0 billion in
assets, compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 1999.

INTEREST RATE MANAGEMENT

         General. Interest rate fluctuations is the primary market risk
affecting Doral Financial. The effect of changes in interest rates on the volume
of mortgage loan originations, the net interest income earned on Doral
Financial's portfolio of loans and mortgage-backed securities, the amount of
gain on sale of loans, and the value of Doral Financial's loan servicing
portfolio and securities holdings, as well as Doral Financial's strategies to
manage such effects, are discussed in Doral Financial's Annual Report to
Shareholders under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Interest Rate Management", which information is
also incorporated by reference into the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

         In the future, Doral Financial may use alternative hedging techniques
including futures, options, interest rate swap agreements or other hedge
instruments to help mitigate interest rate and market risk. However, there can
be no assurance that any of the above hedging techniques will be successful. To
the extent they are not successful, Doral Financial's profitability may be
adversely affected. For additional information on the use of derivatives to
manage interest rate risk, see "Derivatives" below.

         Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. The following table summarizes the
expected maturities or repricing of Doral Financial's interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities as of March 31, 2000. Condensed information as
of December 31, 1999 is also shown. For purposes of this presentation, the
interest-earning components of mortgage loans held-for-sale and securities
held-for-trading are assumed to mature within one year. In addition, investments
held by Doral Financial which have call features are presented according to
their contractual maturity date. Off-balance sheet instruments represent the
notional amounts of interest rate swap agreements. Notional amounts are used to
calculate the contractual amounts to be exchanged under such swap agreements.

         Gap analysis measures the volume of assets and liabilities at a point
in time and their repricing during future periods. The volume of assets
repricing is adjusted to take into consideration the expected prepayment of
certain assets such as mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which can
be prepaid before their contractual maturity. The net balance of assets and
liabilities (the "gap") repricing during future periods is an indicator of the
degree of interest rate risk being assumed by the Company. A positive gap
generally denotes asset sensitivity and that increases in interest rates would
have a positive effect on net interest income while a decrease in interest rates
would have a negative effect


                                       31
<PAGE>   32



on net interest income. A negative gap denotes liability sensitivity and means
that an increase in interest rates would have a negative effect on net interest
income while a decrease in rates would have a positive effect on net interest
income. As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, Doral Financial had a one
year negative gap of approximately $305.0 million and $30.9 million,
respectively. Doral Financial's negative gap within one year is due primarily to
its large portfolio of FHLB notes and other U.S. agency securities which have
call features but are not likely to be exercised by such agencies due to the
actual interest rate environment. In addition, a significant portion of Doral
Financial's interest-earning assets are financed with repurchase agreements
that generally reprice within 90 days or less. While static gap analysis is a
useful measure for determining short-term risk to future net interest income,
it does not measure the sensitivity of the market value of assets and
liabilities to changes in interest rates. For example, the value of the
Company's mortgage loans held-for-sale and trading assets would probably fall
in a rising interest rate environment thereby adversely affecting the
Company's revenues from mortgage loan originations and trading account profit.

         Derivatives. Doral Financial uses derivatives to manage its interest
rate risk. Derivatives include interest rate swaps, futures, forwards and
options. Derivatives are generally either privately-negotiated over-the-counter
("OTC") or standard contracts transacted through regulated exchanges. OTC
contracts generally consist of swaps, forwards and options. Exchange traded
derivatives include futures and options.

         Although Doral Financial uses derivatives to manage market risk, for
financial reporting purposes its general policy is to account for such
instruments on a marked-to-market basis with gains or losses charged to
operations as they occur, except for interest rate swaps entered into by Doral
Bank which are not reflected on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contracts with positive fair values are recorded as assets and contracts with
negative fair values as liabilities after the application of netting
arrangements. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, average assets and
liabilities related to derivatives were $7.9 million and $5.9 million,
respectively. The notional amounts of assets and liabilities related to
derivatives which are not recorded on Doral Financial's statement of condition
totaled $11.7 billion and $9.7 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2000.
Notional amounts indicate the volume of derivatives activity but do not
represent Doral Financial's exposure to market or credit risk.

         The use of derivatives involves market and credit risk. The market risk
of derivatives arises principally from the potential for changes in the value of
derivative contracts based on changes in interest rates. Doral Financial
generally manages its risks by taking risk-offsetting positions.

         The credit risk of derivatives arises from the potential of a
counterparty to default on its contractual obligations. Credit risk related to
derivatives depend on the following: the current fair value of outstanding
contracts with an entity; the potential credit exposure on the derivative over
time; the extent to which legally enforceable netting arrangements allow the
offsetting of contracts with the same entity to be netted against each other;
the extent to which collateral held against the contract reduces credit risk;
and the likelihood of defaults by the counterparty.

         To manage this credit risk, Doral Financial deals with counterparties
of good credit standing, enters into master netting agreements whenever possible
and, when appropriate, obtains collateral. Master netting agreements incorporate
rights of set-off that provide for the net settlement of contracts with the same
counterparty in the event of default. The credit risk associated with futures
contracts is also limited due to daily cash settlement of the net change in the
value of open contracts with the exchange on which the contract is traded.

INFLATION

         General and administrative expenses increase with inflation. However,
the increase in real estate values in Puerto Rico in recent years has been a
positive factor for Doral Financial's mortgage banking business. The average
size of loans originated tends to increase as home values appreciate, which
serves to increase loan origination fees and servicing income faster than the
cost of providing such services. Additionally, appreciation in real estate
property values reduces the loan-to-value ratios of existing loans. Interest
rates normally increase during periods of high inflation and decrease during
periods of low inflation. See "Interest Rate Management" in the Company's Annual
Report for the year ended December 31, 1999, which is incorporated by reference
into the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999, for a discussion of the effects of changes of interest rates on Doral
Financial's operations.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         Accounting for Derivative and Similar Financial Instruments and for
Hedging Activities. In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative and Similar Financial
Instruments and for Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). This new standard, as
amended, will become effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000, but with earlier application permitted as of the
beginning of any fiscal quarter subsequent to June 15, 1998, establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments and for
hedging activities, and requires all derivatives to be measured at fair value
and to be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position. Under this Standard, derivatives used in hedging activities
are to be designated into one of the following categories: (a) fair value hedge;
(b) cash flow hedge; and (c) foreign currency exposure hedge. The changes in
fair value (that is, gains and losses) will be either recognized as part of
earnings in the period when the change occurs, or as a component of other
comprehensive income (outside earnings) depending on their intended use and
resulting designation. Management has determined to adopt this Statement during
the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 and believes that such adoption will not
have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations since all derivatives owned by the Company, except $105 million in
interest rate swaps, are recorded at their fair value.

EXPANDED POWERS UNDER NEW MODERNIZATION LEGISLATION

         On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "Act"), which became effective in most significant
respects on March 11, 2000. Under the Act, bank holding companies, such as Doral
Financial, all of whose subsidiary depository institutions are
"well-capitalized" and "well-managed," as defined in the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956 (the "BHCA"), and which obtain satisfactory Community Reinvestment
Act ratings, may elect to be treated as financial holding companies ("FHCs").
FHCs are permitted to engage in a broader spectrum of activities than those
currently permitted to bank holding companies. FHCs can engage in any activities
that are "financial" in nature, including insurance underwriting and brokerage,
and underwriting and dealing in securities without a revenue limit or a limit on
underwriting and dealing in equity securities applicable to foreign securities
affiliates (which include Puerto Rico securities affiliates for these purposes).

         Subject to certain limitations, under new merchant banking rules, FHCs
will also be allowed to make investments in companies that engage in activities
that are not financial in nature without regard to the existing 5% limit for
domestic investments and 20% limit for overseas (including Puerto Rico)
investments.

         On February 18, 2000, Doral Financial filed an election with the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board") to become an FHC, which
became effective on March 11, 2000. As an FHC, Doral Financial's broker-dealer
subsidiary has already commenced limited equity underwriting and dealing
activities and Doral Financial is studying the possibility of engaging in
various other activities permitted to FHC's, including insurance related
activities.

         Under the Act, if after Doral Financial becomes an FHC, it later fails
to meet the requirements for being an FHC and is unable to correct such
deficiencies within certain prescribed time periods, the Board could require
Doral Financial to divest control of its depository institution subsidiaries or
alternatively to cease conducting activities that are not permissible to bank
holding companies that are not FHCs.
