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 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. Doral
Financial is the leading originator and servicer of mortgage loans on
single-family residences in Puerto Rico. The volume of loans originated and
purchased during the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 by Doral
Financial was approximately $780 million and $601 million, respectively. For the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 the volume of loans
originated and purchased was approximately $2.4 billion and $2.1 billion,
respectively. Doral Financial's mortgage servicing portfolio increased to
approximately $8.6 billion as of September 30, 2000, from $7.3 billion as of the
same date a year ago, an increase of 18%. 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. At September 30, 2000, Doral Financial held securities for trading
with a fair market value of $1.0 billion, approximately $809.9 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.

         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 third quarter of 2000 the Company purchased
$35.4 million in securities classified as held-to-maturity. As of September 30,
2000, Doral Financial held approximately $1.5 billion in securities and other
investments that are classified as held-to-maturity. As of September 30, 2000,
Doral Financial also held $213.7 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 September 30, 2000 and 1999, Doral Financial's
banking subsidiaries contributed approximately $7.8 million and $4.4 million, or
37% and 25%, respectively, to the Company's consolidated net income, which
includes the operations of Doral Money, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Doral
Bank PR. For the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, Doral Financial's banking
subsidiaries contributed approximately $19.9 million and $9.8 million, or 32%
and 20% respectively, to Doral Financial's consolidated net income.

         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
quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, Doral Securities' net loss and net
income was approximately $83,000 and $426,000, respectively. For the nine month
period ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, Doral Securities' net income was
approximately $785,000 and $1.1 million respectively. Results for the quarter
and nine month period ended September 30, 2000 reflect increased compensation
expense related to the recruitment of brokers during prior periods. Assets in
customer brokerage accounts increased to $273.5 million as of September 30,
2000, from $165.3 million as of the same date a year ago, an increase of 65%.

         For information regarding net interest income after provision for loan
losses, non-interest income, net income and identifiable assets broken down by
Doral Financial's mortgage banking, banking and investment broker-dealer
segments, please refer to note "g" of Doral Financial's Consolidated Financial
Statements (unaudited).

         Unlike many holding companies, Doral Financial has significant assets
and operations at the holding company level. HF Mortgage Bankers, one of Doral
Financial's principal mortgage units, is organized as an operating division
within the parent company. As of September 30, 2000, Doral Financial had assets
and net income of $2.6 billion and $125.4 million, respectively, at the parent
company level.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTERS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 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 Doral Financial's revenues; (iv) the elements of
risk inherent to loan activities; and (v) Doral Financial'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.

        A substantial portion of Doral Financial's total mortgage loan
originations has consistently been comprised of refinance loans. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, refinance loans represented
approximately 41% and 57%, 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. However, the
Company believes that refinancing activity is less sensitive to interest rate
changes in Puerto Rico than in the mainland United States because a significant
amount of refinance loans are made for debt consolidation purposes.

       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.

       The following table sets forth the sources of Doral Financial's loan
production as a percentage of total loan originations for the periods indicated:

MORTGAGE LOAN SERVICING

       Doral Financial's principal source of servicing rights has traditionally
been its internal mortgage loan production. However, during the third quarters
of 2000 and 1999, Doral Financial purchased servicing rights to approximately
$20.4 million and $35.0 million, respectively, in principal amount of mortgage
loans. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 the Company
purchased servicing rights to approximately $139.9 and $168.9 million,
respectively. 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.

estate located in Puerto Rico. At September 30, 2000 and 1999, less than 7% and
10%, respectively, 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 September 30, 2000
increased $3.7 million, or 22%, from $17.3 million for the 1999 period to $21.0
million for the 2000 period. For the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, the
Company's net income amounted to $61.9 million and $50.2 million, respectively
an increase of 23%. Consolidated results include the operations of Doral Bank PR
and Doral Bank NY, Doral Financial's banking units, which contributed
approximately $19.9 million to Doral Financial's consolidated net income for the
first nine months of 2000, compared to $9.8 million for the respective 1999
period. Doral Securities, Doral Financial's investment banking and broker-dealer
unit, contributed $785,000 to consolidated net income for the first nine months
of 2000, compared to $1.1 million for the respective 1999 period. Diluted
earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2000 were $0.46 an increase
of 22% over the $0.38 per diluted share recorded for the same period a year ago.
Diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2000 increased by
24% when compared to the same period of 1999, from $1.11 for 1999 to $1.38 for
2000.

       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.

       Net interest income for the third quarter of 2000 and 1999 was $10.4
million and $13.4 million, respectively. For the first nine months of 2000 and
1999 net interest income amounted to $32.0 million and $37.3 million,
respectively. The reduction in net interest income is due in part to the
reduction of the spread between long-term and short-term interest rates and the
increase in market interest rates, which affects borrowing costs.

       The Company's banking subsidiaries contributed approximately $11.0
million to the consolidated net interest income after provision for loan losses
of Doral Financial for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to $8.4
million to consolidated net interest income for the quarter ended September 30,
1999. During the first nine months of 2000, the Company's banking subsidiaries
contributed approximately $32.0 million to the consolidated net interest income
after provision for loan losses, compared to $19.1 million for the first nine
months of 1999.

(1)      Average loan balances include the average balance of non-accruing
         loans, on which no interest income is recognized.
(2)      Consist of money market instruments, reverse repurchase agreements and

(3)      Consist of FHLB-NY advances and notes payable.
(4)      Interest rate spread represents the difference between Doral
         Financial's weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the
         weighted interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate margin represents
         net interest income on an annualized basis as a percentage of average
         interest-earning assets.



          Doral Financial's interest rate spread and interest rate margin for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are adversely affected by
the relatively small interest rate spread earned on the repurchase operation
maintained by its securities unit.

          The following tables describes the extent to which changes in interest
rates and changes in volume of interest rates on interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities have affected Doral Financial's interest income and
interest expense during the periods indicated. For each category of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is
provided on changes attributable to: (i) changes in volume (change in volume
multiplied by prior year rate), (ii) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied
by current year volume), and (iii) total change in rate and volume. The combined
effect of changes in both rate and volume has been allocated in proportion to
the absolute dollar amounts of the changes due to rate and volume.

          INTEREST INCOME

          Total interest income increased from approximately $55.8 million
during the third quarter of 1999, to $87.1 million during the third quarter of
2000, an increase of 56%. For the first nine months of 2000, interest income
increased by approximately $93.4 million, to $238.8 million compared to $145.5
million for the first nine months of 1999. The increases in interest income
during both periods is primarily related to the increase in Doral Financial's
total average interest-earning assets, which increased from $2.8 billion at
September 30, 1999 to $4.5 billion at September 30, 2000.

          Interest income on loans increased by $15.1 million or 75% during the
third quarter of 2000, as compared to the respective 1999 period. For the first
nine months of 2000, interest income on loans increased by $34.7 million or 62%,
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 third quarter of
2000 increased by 17% compared to the respective 1999 period. For the quarters
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, interest income on mortgage-backed securities
amounted to $17.8 million and $15.2 million, respectively. During the first nine
months of 2000, interest income on mortgage-backed securities was $58.0 million,
versus $43.6 million for the comparable 1999 period. The results for the 2000
periods 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 received.

          Interest income on investment securities increased by $10.6 million
during the third quarter of 2000, as compared to the same period of 1999, from
$17.3 million to $27.9 million. Interest income on these securities was $74.1
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $36.5 million for
the same period a year ago. These results reflect the increase in the average
balance of investment securities held during the period to $1.6 billion as of
September 30, 2000, compared to $747.3 million as of September 30, 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 $3.1
million or 99% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same
quarter a year ago. Interest income on other interest earning assets was $16.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $9.7
million for the comparable period of 1999. 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 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 $76.7 million during the third
quarter of 2000, compared to $42.4 million for the respective 1999 period, an
increase of 81%. Total interest expense for the first nine months of 2000 was
$206.8 million, as compared to $108.2 million for the same period of 1999, an
increase of 91%. The increase in interest expense for the 2000 periods was due
primarily to the increase in the average amount of interest-bearing liabilities,
used to fund Doral Financial's growth in interest-earning assets as well as in
increase in the average cost of borrowings. Average interest-bearing liabilities
increased to $4.4 billion at an average cost of 6.22% as of September 30, 2000,
compared to $2.7 billion at an average cost of 5.35% as of September 30, 1999.

<PAGE>   25
          Interest expense related to loans payable increased by $4.4 million or
83% during the third quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period of 1999 as a
result of higher borrowing costs. For the first nine months of 2000, interest
expense associated with loans payable was $26.5 million, an increase of 58% from
$16.8 million for the first nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
weighted-average interest rate cost for borrowings under Doral Financial's loans
payable was 7.77% and 6.37% for the third quarters of 2000 and 1999,
respectively, and 7.57% and 5.98% for the nine month periods then ended,
respectively.

          Interest expense related to securities sold under agreements to
repurchase increased by $18.3 million or 99% during the third quarter of 2000 as
compared to the same period of 1999. During the first nine months of 2000,
interest expense related to securities sold under agreements to repurchase was
$100.0 million, versus $50.0 million for the corresponding 1999 period, an
increase of 100%. The increase during these periods reflected increased
borrowings to finance mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities
as well as higher borrowing costs. The weighted average interest rate cost of
borrowings under repurchase agreements was 6.42% and 5.08% for the third
quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

          Interest expense on deposits increased by $6.9 million, or 71%, for
the third quarter of 2000 as compared to the respective 1999 period. For the
first nine months of 2000, interest expense on deposits was $44.8 million, an
increase of 85% over the $24.2 million recorded for the same period of 1999.
This increase is primarily related to a higher deposit base, which increased to
$1.2 billion as of September 30, 2000, from $844.6 million as of the same date a
year ago. The increase in deposits reflects the expansion of Doral Financial's
banking subsidiaries branch network which included 20 branches as of September
30, 2000, compared to 15 branches as of September 30, 1999. This expansion trend
is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2000 and into 2001. The
average interest cost on deposits was 5.74% and 5.28%, respectively, for the
quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, as compared to 4.65%
and 4.54% for the respective 1999 periods.

         Interest expense on other borrowed funds was $13.5 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $8.8 million for the same
period a year ago, an increase of 53%. For the first nine months of 2000,
interest expense on other borrowed funds increased by 102%, to $35.7 million
from $17.6 million in 1999. The increase is primarily related to an increase in
borrowings from the FHLB-NY and the issuance of $200 million of medium term
notes in May 1997. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2000, the
weighted average interest rate for other borrowed funds was 7.47% and 7.48%,
respectively, compared to 8.16% and 7.59%, respectively, for the corresponding
1999 periods.

          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 $8.4 million at September 30, 2000, compared to $5.6 million as of
September 30, 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 and Fees. Net gains from mortgage
loan sales and fees increased by 91% during the third quarter of 2000 to $40.3
million, as compared to the same period of 1999. For the nine month periods
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, mortgage loan sales were $96.0 million and
$61.2 million, respectively, an increase of 57%.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 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 and bulk purchases of servicing rights. During the
third quarters of 2000 and 1999, Doral Financial purchased servicing rights to
approximately $20.4 million and $35.0 million, respectively, of mortgages
through bulk purchases. For the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, such
purchases were approximately $139.9 million and $168.9 million, respectively.
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 third
quarter and first nine months 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 $8.6 billion at September 30, 2000,
compared to $7.3 billion as of September 30, 1999.

          The amount of principal prepayments on mortgage loans serviced by
Doral Financial was $420.1 million and $566.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This represented approximately 7% and
12%, 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. Trading account 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 September 30, 2000 and 1999, resulted in losses of $7.4 million
and gains of $2.1 million, respectively. Trading account activities for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2000, resulted in losses of $7.8 million
compared to $6.6 million in gains during the respective 1999 period. Trading
account activities for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, included
$3.9 million of unrealized losses and $594,000 of unrealized gains,
respectively, on the value of its securities held-for-trading pursuant to SFAS
No. 115. Trading account activities for the nine month periods ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 included $4.6 million of unrealized gains and $861,000 of
unrealized losses, respectively, on the value of its securities held for trading
pursuant to SFAS No. 115.

          Gain (loss) on Sale of Investment Securities. Gain (loss) on sale of
investment securities represents the impact on income of transactions involving
the sale of securities available-for-sale. For the third quarter and first nine
months of 2000, sale of investment amounted to a loss of $277,000 and a gain of
$3.2 million, respectively, compared to gains of $1.6 million and $1.8 million
for the corresponding 1999 periods.

          Commissions, Fees and Other Income. Other income, commissions and fees
increased 34% during the third quarter of 2000 as compared to the same 1999
period. For the first nine months of 2000, commissions, fees and other income
increased 74%, as compared to the respective 1999 period. The increases during
the 2000 period were 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 2% during the third
quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the respective 1999 period, as
a result of Doral Financial's ongoing cost reduction plan, notwithstanding the
opening of 16 retail offices since September 30, 1999. For the nine month period
ended September 30, 2000, total non-interest expense increased by 8% from the
comparable 1999 period.

          PUERTO RICO INCOME TAXES

          The maximum statutory corporate income tax rate in Puerto Rico is 39%.
For the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, the effective income tax rate of Doral
Financial was 14% and 9%, respectively, while for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 it was 12% for both periods.

          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 by
Doral Financial 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 third
quarter of 2000 resulted in the recording of approximately $19.0 million of IOs,
compared to $9.3 million for the corresponding 1999 period. For the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company recorded IOs in the
amount of $52.0 million and $32.9 million, respectively. 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 September 30, 2000 and 1999, was approximately $3.6 million and $1.7
million, respectively. For the first nine month periods ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, amortization of IOs was approximately $9.4 million and $4.7 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 I 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.

          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. In such cases, Doral Financial
retains part or all of the credit risk associated with such loan after sale. As
of September 30, 2000, the maximum amount of loans that Doral Financial would
have been required to repurchase if all loans subject to recourse defaulted or
if investors exercised their put back options was $640.0 million. As of
September 30, 2000, the Company maintained a reserve of $1.6 million for
potential losses from such arrangements which is included in "Accrued expenses
and other liabilities" in Doral Financial'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. As of September 30, 2000, approximately 20% of Doral
Financial's gross loans receivable portfolio consisted of residential mortgage
loans.


                                       29
<PAGE>   30
          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.
Doral Financial'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, Doral Financial 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, Doral Financial
is subject to greater credit risks tied to adverse economic, political or
business developments and natural hazards, such as hurricanes, that may affect
Puerto Rico. 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 September 30, 2000
and 1999, Doral Financial's banking subsidiaries would have recognized $1.1
million and $302,000, 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.

         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 to mortgage loans sold to
certain other investors, 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 nine month
period ended September 30, 2000, the average monthly amount of funds

advanced by Doral Financial under such servicing agreements was approximately
$13.0 million, compared to $8.2 million for the same period during 1999,
reflecting the increase in the size of the Company's servicing portfolio.

         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 banking 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

         As of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, Doral Financial's
banking subsidiaries had approximately $297.4 million and $295.4 million,
respectively, in brokered deposits obtained through broker-dealers. Brokered
deposits are used as a source of long-term funds.

         As of September 30, 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 bank 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 September 30,
2000, based on existing Federal Reserve, OTS and FDIC guidelines.

--------------
(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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2000, Doral Financial's total assets were $5.2 billion
compared to $4.5 billion at December 31, 1999. The increase in assets was due
primarily to a net increase in the loans portfolio of approximately $458.8
million. Total liabilities were $4.7 billion at September 30, 2000, compared to
$4.2 billion at December 31, 1999. The increase in liabilities was largely the
result of an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, deposit
accounts and advances from FHLB. At September 30, 2000, deposit accounts totaled
$1.2 billion, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 1999. As of September 30,
2000, Doral Financial's banking subsidiaries had $2.3 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, which information is also incorporated by reference into the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Interest Rate Management."

         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 September 30, 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


                                       35
<PAGE>   36



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. 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2000, average assets
and liabilities related to derivatives were $6.7 million and $6.5 million,
respectively. The notional amounts of assets and liabilities related to
derivatives which are not recorded on Doral Financial's statement of condition
totaled $12.7 billion and $9.6 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 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 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


                                       36
<PAGE>   37


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.

         Accounting for Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Liabilities. In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issues SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Liabilities--A Replacement of SFAS 125." This statement
revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of
financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries
over most of SFAS 125's provisions without reconsideration. This statement
provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets
that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. It is effective for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities
occuring after March 31, 2001. This statement is also effective for recognition
and reclassification of collateral and disclosures relating to securitization
transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
Management has not assessed the effect of the adoption of this statement on the
consolidated financial statements of the Corporation.

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 on October 10, 2000, Doral Agency, Inc., a subsidiary of Doral
Financial, was licenced to engage in insurance agency activities. Doral
Financial continues to examine the possibility of entering into 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.

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Interest Rate
Management."


                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In the opinion of the Company's management, the pending and threatened
legal proceedings of which management is aware will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of the Company.

ITEM 2 - CHANGES IN SECURITIES

         On August 23, 2000, Doral Financial entered into a Credit Agreement
with FirstBank Puerto Rico providing for a $25 million warehouse loan facility.
Under the Agreement, Doral Financial is prohibited from paying dividends if it
is in default under the Agreement.

         On August 31, 2000, Doral Financial issued 2,000,000 shares of its
8.35% Noncumulative Monthly Income Preferred Stock, Series B (the "Series B
Preferred Stock") having a liquidation preference of $25 per share. The Series B
Preferred Stock ranks on parity with Doral Financial's 7% Noncumulative Monthly
Income Preferred Stock, Series A, with respect to dividend rights and rights on
liquidation. The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock do not permit Doral
Financial to declare or pay any dividends on the Common Stock (1) unless all
accrued and unpaid dividends on Series B Preferred Stock for the 12 dividend
periods preceding the dividend payment have been paid and the full dividend on
the Series B Preferred Stock for the current monthly dividend period is
contemporaneously declared and paid or set aside for payment or (2) if Doral
Financial has defaulted in the payment of the redemption price of any shares of
Series B Preferred Stock called for redemption. The terms of the Series B
Preferred Stock provide that if Doral Financial is unable to pay in full
dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock and other shares of stock of equal
rank as to the payment of dividends, all dividends declared upon the Series B
Preferred Stock and such other shares of stock be declared pro rata.

ITEM 3 - DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 5 - OTHER INFORMATION

         On October 26, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized a quarterly
$0.10 per share cash dividend to be paid on December 1, 2000 to shareholders of
record as of November 10, 2000 on the Company's Common Stock.

         During the second quarter of 2000, Doral Financial incurred losses of
approximately $2.3 million related to certain options transactions entered into
by representatives of its brokerage unit for the account of clients as well as
for their personal accounts. On August 16, 2000, Doral Financial entered into an
agreement with the representatives whereby they agreed to reimburse $1,330,000
of such amount to Doral Financial. As of September 30, 2000 Doral Financial had
received cash and other assets aggregating $915,000 from the representatives.
While the Company believes that it will be able to recover all or a substantial
portion of the amounts not payable by the representatives from its insurance
company, the full amount of such losses have been reserved.
