On January 1, 2002 the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
While SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," it retains many
of the fundamental provisions of that Statement. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes
the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business. However, it retains
the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations
and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been
disposed of by sale, abandonment, or in a distribution to owners or is
classified as held for sale. The adoption of this Statement did not have an
effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

On January 1, 2002 the Company adopted also SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets
with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized but instead tested for
impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.
SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be
amortized over the respective estimated useful lives to their estimated
residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

During the first quarter of 2002, based on further evaluation of the adoption
effects of SFAS No. 142, management determined that the initial adoption of this
Statement on January 1, 2002 had no effect on the financial condition or results
of operations of the Company.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income
(less preferred stock dividends) by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding. Outstanding stock options granted in connection with
the Company's Stock Option Plan (358,760 and 637,880 during the quarters ended
March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively), are included in the weighted average
number of shares for purposes of the diluted earnings per share computation. No
other adjustments are made to the computation of basic earnings per share to
arrive at diluted earnings per share.

Dividends per share on common stock declared and paid by the Company were as
follows:

         outstanding                                            0.75%             0.32%

</TABLE>

(1)      The increase in the ratio was partially caused by significant loan
         securitizations during 2000, 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, which
         reduced the amount of loans held in portfolio which are considered in
         the calculation of the ratio. Without giving effect to loan
         securitizations, as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the ratio
         of non-performing loans to total loans would have been 2.85% and
         2.75%, 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, 2002 and December 31, 2001 would have been 1.92%
         and 83.7%, respectively, and 1.97% and 78.8%, respectively.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS TO BUY AND SELL GNMA CERTIFICATES

         As of March 31, 2002, the Company had open commitments to issue GNMA
certificates of approximately $30.2 million.

COMMITMENTS TO SELL MORTGAGE LOANS

         As of March 31, 2002 the Company had commitments to sell mortgage
loans to third party investors amounting to approximately $281.5 million.

LEASE COMMITMENTS

         The Company is obligated under several noncancellable leases for
office space and equipment rentals, all of which are accounted for as operating
leases. The leases expire at various dates with options for renewals.

OTHER

         At March 31, 2002, 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 $559.2 million at March 31, 2002. Liability, if any,
under the recourse provisions at March 31, 2002 is estimated by management to
be insignificant.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL

         R&G Financial Corporation (the "Company") is a Puerto Rico chartered
diversified financial holding company that, through its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, is engaged in banking, mortgage banking, securities brokerage and
insurance activities. The Company, currently in its 30th year of operations,
operated 68 branch offices (38 mortgage offices in Puerto Rico, 4 mortgage
offices in the United States, and 26 bank branches mainly located in the
northeastern section of Puerto Rico) as of March 31, 2002.

         On December 19, 2001, the Company entered into a definitive merger
agreement pursuant to which it will acquire The Crown Group, Inc., a Florida
corporation, and its wholly-owned savings bank subsidiary, Crown Bank, a
Federal Savings Bank, hereinafter collectively referred to as "Crown." Crown,
which had total assets of $664 million, total deposits of $461 million and
stockholders' equity of $64 million as of March 31, 2002, operates in the
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater and Orlando metropolitan areas through 14
full-service offices.

         The Orlando market is one of the fastest growing markets in Florida,
both generally and for Hispanics in particular, and provides the Company with
what it believes is a cost effective way to access the Hispanic markets in the
United States, while providing a strong platform for further expansion in
Florida. Crown's balance sheet is complementary to the Company's, and is
predominantly secured by real estate.

         Under the terms of the merger agreement, as amended, holders of Crown
common stock will receive an aggregate of $100.0 million in cash. The
acquisition, which is expected to be accretive to our earnings per share in
2002, is expected to close during the second quarter of 2002, pending the
receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals and the approval of Crown's
shareholders.

         The Company provides a full range of banking services through R-G
Premier Bank of Puerto Rico, a Puerto Rico commercial bank. Banking activities
include 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.

         Mortgage banking activities are conducted through R&G Mortgage Corp.,
Puerto Rico's second largest mortgage banker, The Mortgage Store of Puerto
Rico, Inc., also a Puerto Rico mortgage company, and Continental Capital
Corporation, a New York mortgage banking company with offices in New York and
North Carolina. 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 began insurance operations in November 2000 through Home &
Property Insurance Corp., a Puerto Rico insurance agency, and securities
brokerage in early 2002 through R&G Investments Corporation, a Puerto Rico
licensed broker-dealer.

         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


                                      19

<PAGE>

approximately $7.3 billion as of March 31, 2002, from $6.8 billion as of the
same date a year ago, an increase of 7.6%. 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, 2002, the Company held securities available for sale with a fair
market value of $2.2 billion, which included $1.6 billion of mortgage-backed
securities, of which $515.8 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 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, 2002, total assets amounted to $4.8 billion, as compared
to $4.7 billion at December 31, 2001. The $167.0 million or 3.6% increase in
total assets between the comparable periods was primarily the result of a $159.1
million or 7.6% increase in mortgage-backed and investment securities available
for sale.

         At March 31, 2002, R&G Financial had $2.2 billion of borrowings
(consisting of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, notes payable,
FHLB advances and other borrowings), compared to $2.1 billion at December 31,
2001. R&G Financial utilized repurchase agreements and FHLB advances to fund its
growth during the period.

         At March 31, 2002, R&G Financial's allowance for loan losses totaled
$18.5 million, which represented a $1.1 million or 6.4% increase from the level
maintained at December 31, 2001. At March 31, 2002, R&G Financial's allowance
represented approximately 0.96% of the total loan portfolio and 23.26% 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 1.92%
and 83.7%, respectively, at March 31, 2002. The increase in the allowance for
loan losses reflects the increase in R&G Financial's commercial real estate and
construction loan portfolio.

         Non-performing loans amounted to $79.7 million at March 31, 2002, an
increase of $7.3 million when compared to $72.5 million at December 31, 2001. At
March 31, 2002, $57.6 million or 72.2% of non-performing loans consisted of
residential mortgage loans, which have 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 recognized
a low level of loan charge-offs. R&G Financial's aggregate charge-offs as a
percentage of average loans outstanding amounted to 0.32% during 2001 and 0.17%
during 2000. 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


                                      20

<PAGE>

increased from 3.79% to 4.13% from December 31, 2001 to March 31, 2002, the
increase in the ratio was made larger than it would otherwise have been due to
significant loan securitizations during 2000, 2001 and the first quarter of
2002, 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, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the ratio of non-performing loans
to total loans would have been 2.85% and 2.75%, respectively.

         Stockholders' equity increased from $459.1 million at December 31, 2001
to $534.4 million at March 31, 2002. The $75.3 million or 16.4% increase was due
primarily to the issuance of 2,760,000 shares of the Company's 7.25%
Non-Cumulative Perpetual Monthly Income Preferred Stock, Series D, in March 2002
for aggregate net proceeds of $66.6 million, as well as the net income
recognized during the period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         During the three months ended March 31, 2002, R&G Financial reported
net income of $21.5 million or $0.58 of earnings per diluted share, compared to
$13.3 million before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle,
or $0.39 of earnings per diluted share for the comparative three month period
ended March 31, 2001.

         Net interest income increased by $13.8 million or 76.2% during the
comparable period to $32.0 million, primarily due to an increase in the average
balance of interest-earning assets, together with a 74 basis point increase in
the net interest margin, from 2.18% to 2.92%. The provision for loan losses
amounted to $5.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2002, a 150%
increase over the prior comparable period, as R&G Financial increased it
general reserves reflecting the continued growth in commercial lending, which
involves greater credit risk than residential lending.

         R&G Financial also experienced an increase in non-interest income
during the three months ended March 31, 2002 over the comparable period. Net
gain on sale of loans increased by $2.7 million or 17.8% over the prior
comparable period, which was due both to the volume of loans sold as well as
the increased profits made on loans sold. Loan administration and servicing
fees also increased by $1.3 million or 16.0% over the comparable periods, due
to the growth in the loan servicing portfolio.

         Total expenses increased by $6.9 million or 29.4% during the three
months ended March 31, 2002 over the comparable period, primarily due to a $2.5
million or 32.6% increase in employee compensation and benefits associated with
general growth in Company operations as well as to accommodate increased loan
production, and a $8.1 million or 67.8% increase in other administrative and
general expenses, primarily due to increased amortization on the Company's
servicing assets as well as increased advertising expenses related to increased
loan production and other marketing initiatives.

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, 2002, 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.

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

         As of March 31, 2002, the Company had a one year positive gap of
approximately $204,886 million which constituted 4.24% of total assets at such
date, compared to a positive gap of approximately $462.6 million or 9.92% of
total assets at December 31, 2001. R&G Financial's positive gap within one year
at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 is due primarily to an increasing amount
of adjustable rate loans resulting from greater emphasis in commercial and
construction lending as well as to the extension during 2001 of the maturity
dates of certain borrowings of the Company into longer-term maturities at very
attractive rates, taking advantage of reductions in interest rates during such
year. The Company estimates that as of March 31, 2002, close to 45% of all
borrowings of the Company have maturity dates longer than one year. In addition,
the Company has 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.

         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, 2002 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, 2002 and 2001, the Company recognized $1,973,000 and
$675,000, respectively, of unscheduled amortization on 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, 2002, the Company had $105.5 million in borrowing
capacity under unused warehousing and other lines of credit, $670.9 million in
borrowings capacity under unused lines of credit with the FHLB of New York and
$25 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, 2002, the Company had outstanding commitments to
originate and/or purchase mortgage and non-mortgage loans of $176.2 million
(including unused lines of credit). Certificates of deposit which are scheduled
to mature within one year totaled $1.0 billion at March 31, 2002, and
borrowings that are scheduled to mature within the same period amounted to $1.2
billion. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available
to meet its current loan commitments.

         In December 2001, the Company entered into a definite merger
agreement, as amended, pursuant to which it will acquire The Crown Group, Inc.,
a Florida savings and loan holding company, and its wholly-owned savings bank
subsidiary, Crown Bank, a Federal Savings Bank, hereinafter collectively
referred to as "Crown". The cost of the acquisition to R-G Financial is $100
million of cash.

         In March 2002, the Company completed the public offering of its Series
D Non-Cumulative Perpetual Monthly Income Preferred Stock, with aggregate gross
proceeds of $69.0 million. In April 2002, the Company completed the private
issuance of $25.0 million pooled trust preferred securities. Both of these
transactions facilitate the funding for the Crown acquisition. The Company
expects the balance of the funds for the Crown acquisition will come from its
general working capital.

         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, 2002, 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 6.62%, 12.04% and 12.86%, 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.
