BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying

presentation of the Company's financial condition as of March 31, 2001 and the
results of operations and changes in its cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000.

         The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31,
2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2001. The unaudited

consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2000.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

         All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

         Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Upon the
adoption of this Statement, the Company recognized a gain of approximately
$1.9 million as other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity related to
derivative instruments that were designated as cash flow hedges, and a loss of
approximately $529,000 in the income statement related to derivative instruments
that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES.

         In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 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 the
provisions of SFAS 125 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 occurring
after March 31, 2001. Management believes that the adoption of the new standards
will not have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Company.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 consolidated
statement of cash flows to conform with the 2001 financial statement
presentation.

NOTE 2  -  EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Outstanding
stock options granted in connection with the Company's Stock Option Plan are
included in the weighted average number of shares for purposes of the diluted
earnings per share computation.

NOTE 3  -  INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

         The carrying value and estimated fair value of investment and
mortgage-backed securities by category are shown below. The fair value of
investment securities is based on quoted market prices and dealer quotes, except
for the investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock which is valued at its
redemption value. Expected maturities of debt securities will differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay
obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

(1) The increase in the ratio was partially caused by significant loan
securitizations during the last two quarters of 2000 and the first quarter of
2001, which reduced the amount of loans held in portfolio which are considered
in the calculation at the ratio. Without giving effect to loan securitizations,
as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the ratio of non-performing loans to
total loans would have been 4.60% and 4.37%, respectively.

(2) Because of the nature of the collateral, R&G Financial's historical
charge-offs with respect to residential real estate loans have been low.
Excluding R&G Financial's residential loan portfolio, the allowance for loan
losses to total loans and to total non-performing loans at March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000 would have been 1.49% and 61.2%, respectively, and 1.57% and
73.7%, respectively.

operating leases. The leases expire at various dates with options for
renewals.

OTHER

         At March 31, 2001, the Company is liable under limited recourse
provisions resulting from the sale of loans to several investors, principally
FHLMC. The principal balance of these loans, which are serviced by the Company,
amounts to approximately $567.8 million at March 31, 2001. Liability, if any,
under the recourse provisions at March 31, 2001 is estimated by management to
be insignificant.

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL

         R&G Financial Corporation (the "Company") is a diversified financial
holding company that, through its its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in
mortgage banking, banking and insurance activities. Its mortgage banking
activities include 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, and 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").

         The Company is also engaged in providing a full range of banking
services, including commercial banking services, corporate and construction
lending, consumer lending and credit cards, offering a diversified range of
deposit products and, to a lesser extent, trust and investment services through
its private banking department.

         R&G Financial is currently in its 29th year of operations. The Company
is the second largest mortgage loans originator and servicer of mortgage loans
on single family residences in Puerto Rico. R&G Financial's mortgage servicing
portfolio increased to approximately $6.8 billion as of March 31, 2001, from
$6.3 billion as of the same date a year ago, an increase of 7.5%. R&G
Financial's strategy is to increase the size of its mortgage servicing portfolio
by relying principally on internal loan originations.

         As part of its strategy to maximize net interest income, R&G Financial
maintains a substantial portfolio of mortgage-backed and investment securities.
At March 31, 2001, the Company held securities available for sale with a fair
market value of $1.45 billion, which included $1.0 billion of mortgage-backed
securities of which $564.4 million consisted primarily of Puerto Rico GNMA
securities, the interest on which is tax-exempt to the Company. These securities
are generally held by the Company for longer periods prior to sale in order to
maximize the tax-exempt interest received thereon.

         A substantial portion of R&G Financial's total mortgage loan
originations has consistently been comprised of refinance loans. R&G 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.

         R&G Financial customarily sells or securitizes into mortgage-backed
securities substantially all the loans it originates, except for certain
non-conforming conventional mortgage loans and certain consumer, construction,
land, and commercial loans which are held for investment and classified as Loans
Receivable.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         At March 31, 2001, total assets amounted to $3.7 billion, as compared
to $3.1 billion at March 31, 2000. The $549.6 million or 17.6% increase in total
assets between the comparable periods was primarily the result of a $425.9
million or 41.6% increase in mortgage-backed and investment securities available
for sale, an $87.2 million or 582.9% increase in mortgage-backed securities held
for trading and a $54.5 million or 55.7% increase in mortgage loans held for
sale, which more than offset a $52.3 million or 3.0% decline in loans
receivable, net.


                                       17

<PAGE>   18


         At March 31, 2001, total deposits totaled $1.7 billion, an increase of
$305.1 million or 21.3% when compared to March 31, 2000. In addition, at March
31, 2001, R&G Financial had $1.5 billion of borrowings (consisting of securities
sold under agreements to repurchase, notes payable, FHLB advances and other
borrowings), as compared to $1.4 billion at March 31, 2000. R&G Financial
utilized deposits (primarily certificates of deposits) and FHLB advances to fund
its growth during the period.

         At March 31, 2001, R&G Financial's allowance for loan losses totaled
$12.1 million, which represented a $470,000 or 4.1% increase from the level
maintained at December 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001, R&G Financial's allowance
represented approximately 0.66% of the total loan portfolio and 11.25% of total
non-performing loans. However, excluding R&G Financial's residential loan
portfolio, which has minimal charge-off experience, the allowance for loan
losses to total loans and to total non-performing loans would have been 1.49%
and 61.2%, respectively, at March 31, 2001. The increase in the allowance for
loan losses reflects the increase in R&G Financial's commercial real estate and
construction loan portfolio as well as the increase in R&G Financial
non-performing loans during the year.

         Non-performing loans amounted to $107.3 million at March 31, 2001, an
increase of $47.9 million when compared to $59.4 million at December 31, 1999.
However, $40.1 million or 84% of such increase consisted of residential mortgage
loans, which resulted to a large extent from increased delays over the period in
the foreclosure process in Puerto Rico. Because of the nature of the real estate
collateral, R&G Financial has historically experienced a low level of loan
charge-offs. R&G Financial's aggregate charge-offs amounted to 0.35% during the
first quarter of 2001, 0.17% during 2000 and 0.25% during 1999. Although loan
delinquencies have historically been higher in Puerto Rico than in the United
States, actual foreclosures and any resulting loan charge-offs have historically
been lower than in the United States. While the ratio of non-performing loans to
total loans increased from 3.66% to 5.38% from December 31, 1999 to December 31,
2000 and to 5.83% at March 31, 2001, the increase in the ratio was made larger
than it would otherwise have been due to significant loan securitizations during
the last two quarters of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001, which reduced the
amount of loans considered in the calculation of the ratio. Without giving
effect to loan securitizations, during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
the year ended December 31, 2000, the ratio of non-performing loans would have
been 4.60% and 4.37%, respectively.

         Stockholders' equity increased from $308.8 million at December 31, 2000
to $389.5 million at March 31, 2001. The $80.6 million or 26.1% increase was due
primarily to net income recognized during the period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         During the three months ended March 31, 2001, R&G Financial reported
net income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of
$13.3 million or $0.39 of earnings per diluted share, compared to $9.5 million
or $0.28 of earnings per diluted share for the comparative three month period
ended March 31, 2000.

         Net interest income increased by $1.4 million or 8% during the
comparable periods to $18.2 million, primarily due to an increase in the average
balance of interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by a 25 basis
point decline in the net interest margin from 2.43% to 2.18%. With interest
rates currently declining, R&G Financial expects a gradual improvement in its
net interest margin, as evidenced by the two basis point improvement when
compared with the year ended December 31, 2000. The provision for loan losses
amounted to $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2001, a 48%
increase over the prior comparable period, as R&G Financial increased it general
reserves to reflect the expected continued growth in commercial lending, which
involves greater credit risk than residential lending.


                                       18

<PAGE>   19
         R&G Financial also experienced an increase in non-interest income
during the three months ended March 31, 2001 over the comparable period. Net
gain on sale of loans increased significantly, by $7.7 million or 105% over the
prior comparable period, which was due both to the volume of loans originated
and sold as well as the increased profits made on loans sold. Loan
administration and servicing fees also increased by $412,000 or 5% over the
comparable periods, due to the growth in the loan servicing portfolio.

         Total expenses increased by $3.3 million or 16% during the three months
ended March 31, 2001 over the comparable period, primarily due to a $2.3 million
or 24% increase in other administrative and general expenses, primarily due to
rights, increased amortization of servicing and increased advertising expenses
associated with increased loan production.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

         The following table summarizes the anticipated maturities or repricing
or R&G Financial's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as
of March 31, 2001, based on the information and assumptions set forth in the
notes below. For purposes of this presentation, the interest earning components
of loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities held in connection with
the Company's mortgage banking business, as well as all securities held for
trading, are assumed to mature within one year. In addition, investments held
by the Company which have call features are presented according to their
contractual maturity date.

(1)      Adjustable-rate loans are included in the period in which interest
         rates are next scheduled to adjust rather that in the period in which
         they are due, and fixed-rate loans are included in the periods in which
         they are scheduled to be repaid, based on scheduled amortization, in
         each case as adjusted to take into account estimated prepayments.

(2)      Reflects estimated prepayments in the current interest rate
         environment.

         As of March 31, 2001, the Company had a one year positive gap of
approximately $122.0 million, which constituted 3.32% of total assets at such
date, compared to a negative gap of approximately $477.8 million or 13.5%, of
total assets at December 31, 2000. R&G Financial's negative gap within one year
at December 31, 2000 was due primarily to its large fixed-rate mortgage loans
receivable portfolio held for investment and a portion of its portfolio of FHLB
notes and other US agency securities which have call features but were not
likely to be exercised by such agencies due to the actual interest rate
environment. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company extended the
maturity dates of certain borrowings into longer-term maturities at lower rates
to take advantage of reductions in interest rates during the quarter. In
addition, the Company entered into certain derivative instruments and increased
its portfolio of investment securities held for trading, reducing its gap
exposure. While the above table presents the Company's loans receivable
portfolio held for investment purposes according to its maturity date, from time
to time the Company may negotiate special transactions with FHLMC and/or FNMA or
other third party investors for the sale of such loans. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in consummating any such
transactions.

         The following table presents for the periods indicated R&G Financial's
total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the
resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing
liabilities expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin.
The table does not reflect any effect of income taxes. All average balances are
based on the average of month-end balances for R&G Mortgage and average daily
balances for the Bank in each case during the periods presented.

         foreclosures.

(3)      At the dates shown, included $986.2 million and $1.2 billion of loans
         serviced for the Bank, respectively, which constituted 14.5% and 18.4%
         of the total servicing portfolio, respectively.

--------------------

         Substantially all of the mortgage loans in R&G Financial's servicing
portfolio are secured by single (one-to-four) family residences secured by real
estate located in Puerto Rico. At March 31, 2001 less than 7% of the Company's
mortgage servicing portfolio was related to mortgages secured by real property
located outside Puerto Rico.

         The Company reduces the sensitivity of its servicing income to
increases in prepayment rates through a strong retail origination network that
has increased or maintained the size of R&G Financial's servicing portfolio even
during periods of high prepayments. In addition, a substantial portion of the
Company's servicing portfolio consists of tax-exempt FHA/VA mortgage loans which
carry lower interest rates than those on conventional loans, which tends to
reduce risks related to R&G Financial's servicing portfolio. During the quarter
ended March 31, 2001 the Company recognized $675,000 unscheduled amortization of
mortgage servicing rights.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         LIQUIDITY - Liquidity refers to the Company's ability to generate
sufficient cash to meet the funding needs of current loan demand, savings
deposit withdrawals, principal and interest payments with respect to outstanding
borrowings and to pay operating expenses. It is management's policy to maintain
greater liquidity than required in order to be in a position to fund loan
purchases and originations, to meet withdrawals from deposit accounts, to make
principal and interest payments with respect to outstanding borrowings and to
make investments that take advantage of interest rate spreads. The Company
monitors its liquidity in accordance with guidelines established by the Company
and applicable regulatory requirements. The Company's need for liquidity is
affected by loan demand, net changes in deposit levels and the scheduled
maturities of its borrowings. The Company can minimize the cash required during
the times of heavy loan demand by modifying its credit policies or reducing its
marketing efforts. Liquidity demand caused by net reductions in deposits are
usually caused by factors over which the Company has limited control. The
Company derives its liquidity from both its assets and liabilities. Liquidity is
derived from assets by receipt of interest and principal payments and
prepayments, by the ability to sell assets at market prices and by utilizing
unpledged assets as collateral for borrowings. Liquidity is derived from
liabilities by maintaining a variety of funding sources, including deposits,
advances from the FHLB of New York and other short and long-term borrowings.

         The Company's liquidity management is both a daily and long-term
function of funds management. Liquid assets are generally invested in short-term
investments such as securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal
funds sold and certificates of deposit in other financial institutions. If the
Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, various
forms of both short and long-term borrowings provide an additional source of
funds. At March 31, 2001, the Company had $157.0 million in borrowing capacity
under unused warehousing and other lines of credit, $230.7 million in borrowings
capacity under unused lines of credit with the FHLB of New York and $40 million
under unused fed funds lines of credit. The Company has generally not relied
upon brokered deposits as a source of liquidity.

         At March 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate
and/or purchase mortgage and non-mortgage loans (including unused lines of
credit) of $213.8 million. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature
within one year totaled $1.0 billion at March 31, 2001, and borrowings that are
scheduled to mature within the same period amounted to $831.5 million. The
Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its
current loan commitments.

         CAPITAL RESOURCES - The FDIC's capital regulations establish a minimum
3.0 % Tier I leverage capital requirement for the most highly-rated
state-chartered, non-member banks, with an additional cushion of at least 100 to
200 basis points for all other state-chartered, non-member banks, which
effectively will increase the minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio for such other banks
from 4.0% to 5.0% or more. Under the FDIC's regulations, the highest-rated banks
are those that the FDIC determines are not anticipating or experiencing
significant growth and have well diversified risk, including no undue interest
rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and,
in general, which are considered a strong banking organization and are rated
composite 1 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System. Leverage or
core capital is defined as the sum of common stockholders' equity (including
retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus,
and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus all intangible assets
other than certain qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain purchased
mortgage servicing rights.

         The FDIC also requires that banks meet a risk-based capital standard.
The risk-based capital standard for banks requires the maintenance of total
capital (which is defined as Tier I capital and supplementary (Tier 2) capital)
to risk weighted assets of 8%. In determining the amount of risk-weighted
assets, all assets, plus certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a
risk-weight of 0% to 100%, based on the risks the FDIC believes are inherent in
the type of asset or item. The components of Tier 1 capital are equivalent to
those discussed above under the 3% leverage capital standard. The components of
supplementary capital include certain perpetual preferred stock, certain
mandatory convertible securities, certain subordinated debt and intermediate
preferred stock and general allowances for loan and lease losses. Allowance for
loan and lease losses includable in supplementary capital is limited to a
maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Overall, the amount of capital counted
toward supplementary capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. At March 31,
2000, the Bank met each of its capital requirements, with Tier 1 leverage
capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 7.05%,
13.13% and 13.88%, respectively.

         In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has promulgated capital adequacy
guidelines for bank holding companies which are substantially similar to those
adopted by FDIC regarding state-chartered banks, as described above. The Company
is currently in compliance with such regulatory capital requirements.

INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related data
presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars (except with respect to
securities which are carried at market value), without considering changes in
the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most
industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the
Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more
significant impact on the Company's performance than the effects of general
levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services.
