NOTE 1  -               REPORTING ENTITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

accounts  of R&G  Financial  Corporation  (the  Company)  and  its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries,  R&G Mortgage Corp. ("R&G  Mortgage"),  a Puerto Rico corporation,

     R&G  Mortgage  is  engaged   primarily  in  the  business  of   originating
FHA-insured,  VA-  guaranteed,  and privately  insured first and second mortgage
loans on residential real estate. R&G Mortgage pools loans into  mortgage-backed

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
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (principally
consisting of normal recurring  accruals)  necessary for a fair  presentation of
the  Company's  financial  condition  as of June  30,  1999 and the  results  of
operations and changes in its cash flows for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998.

     The results of  operations  for the three and six month  periods ended June
30, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1999. 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, 1998.

     Certain  reclassifications (not affecting income before income taxes or net
income) have been made to the  consolidated  statements  of income for the three
and six month period ended June 30, 1998 to conform to the  presentation for the
1999 respective periods.


                                      -7-

Basis of consolidation

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


NOTE 2  -               EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic  earnings per common share for the three and six month  periods ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 are  computed by dividing  net income for such periods by
the weighted  average number of shares of common stock  outstanding  during such
periods.  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.

     On  June  25,  1998  the  Company  effected  a 2 for 1 stock  split  on the
Company's  common stock, in the form of a stock dividend of one additional share
of common  stock for each  share of common  stock  held of record as of June 12,
1998.  Following   distribution  of  the  additional  shares,  the  Company  had
28,289,504  common shares  outstanding.  Per share  information  for all periods
presented  take into  consideration  the stock split paid by the Company in June
1998.

NOTE 5  -               COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments to developers providing end loans

            The Company has outstanding  commitments for various projects in the
process of  completion.  Total  commitments  amounted  to  approximately  $485.2
million at June 30,  1999.  All  commitments  are subject to  prevailing  market
prices at time of closing  with no market risk  exposure  against the Company or
with firm back-to-back commitments extended in favor of the mortgagee.


Loans in process

            Loans in process pending final approval  and/or closing  amounted to
approximately $156.9 million at June 30, 1999.


Commitments to buy and sell GNMA certificates

            As of June 30, 1999, the Company had open  commitments to issue GNMA
certificates of approximately $138.2 million.


Commitments to sell mortgage loans

            As of June 30,  1999 the Company had  commitments  to sell  mortgage
loans to third party investors amounting to approximately $ 30.6 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 June 30,  1999,  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  $612.5 million at June 30, 1999.  Liability,  if any,
under the recourse  provisions at June 30, 1999 is estimated by management to be
insignificant.

Item 2:     Management's Discussion and Analysis
------------------------------------------------

Financial Condition

            At June 30,  1999,  the  Company's  total  assets  amounted  to $2.3
billion, as compared to $2.0 billion at December 31, 1998. The $264.7 million or
12.9%  increase in total assets  during the six month period ended June 30, 1999
was attributable to a $241.4 million or 22.5% increase in loans receivable, net,
which reflects net  originations  following  repayments  and sales,  and a $65.1
million or 109.4% increase in investment securities available for sale, which is
the  result of the  purchase  of $82.5  million  of such  securities  during the
period.  Such  increases  were  partially  offset  by a $48.1  million  or 46.4%
decrease in cash and cash equivalents due to the use of excess liquidity to fund
increased loan originations during the period.

            Effective  January 1, 1999, the Company made a  reclassification  of
$427.4 million of mortgage backed  securities from trading to available for sale
in connection with the adoption of SFAS 134. This adoption resulted  principally
in  an  increase  in  mortgage-backed   securities  available  for  sale  and  a
corresponding decrease in mortgage-backed securities held for trading.

            The  increase  in the  Company's  assets  were  primarily  funded by
increased  deposits of $153.0 million or 15.2%,  and by a $98.0 million or 81.0%
increase in FHLB advances.

            At June 30, 1999,  the Company's  stockholders'  equity  amounted to
$237.9  million,  which is an increase of $16.8  million or 7.6% from the amount
reported at December 31, 1998.  The primary  reason for the increase was the net
income  earned for the  quarter,  which was  partially  offset by a $2.6 million
decrease in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, net of income tax
benefits,  and $3.8  million in  dividends  paid during the period.  At June 30,
1999, the Bank's  leverage and Tier 1 risk-based  capital  amounted to 6.59% and
11.24% of  adjusted  total  assets,  respectively,  compared  to a 4.0%  minimum
requirement, and its total risk-based capital amounted to 12.15%, compared to an
8.0% minimum requirement.

Results of Operations

            The Company  reported net income of $11.8 million and $ 23.0 million
during the three and six months  period ended June 30, 1999, as compared to $8.0
million and $15.5 million during the prior comparable periods.

            Total revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 amounted
to $59.1 million compared to $43.2 million for the prior comparable  period. The
36.9% increase was due to an increase in net interest  income of $5.0 million or
23.9%  during  the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999 over the prior  comparable
period, primarily due to a $14.4 million or 35.9% increase in interest income on
loans,  primarily  associated  with an increase  in the  average  balance of the
outstanding loan portfolio.
<PAGE>

            Contributing  to the 36.9% increase in revenues during the six month
period ended June 30, 1999 was a $4.7  million or 31.4%  increase in net gain on
origination and sale of loans,  which reflects a 31.5% increase in mortgage loan
originations during the 1999 period,  associated with the Company's expansion of
its existing  branch network during fiscal year 1998.  Loan  administration  and
servicing fees also increased by $4.9 million or 64.6% due to an increase in the
Company's  loan  servicing  portfolio.  Service  charges,  fees and  other  also
increased  by  $919,000  or 34.6%,  due mainly to an  increase  in banking  fees
associated with an increased  number of deposit accounts during the 1999 period,
and other fees due to an expanded  customer base as a result of the  acquisition
of a $1.1  billion  servicing  portfolio  in late  1998 from  another  financial
institution.


                                      -13-
<PAGE>
            Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 amounted to $29.4
million,  a $7.2 million or 32.2% increase over the comparable  quarter in 1998.
The  increase  in  total   revenues   during  the  1999  quarter  was  primarily
attributable to a $1.7 million or 15.9% increase in net interest  income, a $1.6
million or 21.5%  increase  in net gain on  origination  and sale of loans and a
$2.8 million or 72.7% increase in loan administration and servicing fees.

            Total  expenses  increased  by $7.9  million or 35.3% during the six
months ended June 30, 1999 over the prior comparable period. The increase during
the six  month  period  in 1999 was due  primarily  to a $2.5  million  or 31.7%
increase in employee compensation and benefits, due to an increase in the number
of employees as a result of new branch  openings and increased  loan  production
during the 1999 period.  The increase in employee  expenses was accompanied by a
$4.4  million or 40.7%  increase in other  miscellaneous  expenses,  mainly as a
result of a $614,000  increase in advertising  costs and other expense increases
associated with an increase in loan  production,  and a $2.1 million increase in
amortization  expenses of the  Company's  servicing  asset.  Finally,  occupancy
expenses increased by $1.1 million or 28.0%, mainly as a result of the operation
of five  additional  branches  completed  during  fiscal 1998 and an  additional
branch completed in early 1999.

            Total  expenses  increased by $3.3 million or 26.7% during the three
month  period  ended June 30,  1999.  The  increase was due to a $1.3 million or
29.7%  increase  in  employee  compensation  and  benefits,  a $551,000 or 25.4%
increase in occupancy  expenses,  and a $1.5 million or 25.0%  increase in other
miscellaneous expenses.  These expenses increased during such three month period
for the reasons noted above.

            Total income tax expense  increased by $49,000 or 2.4%, and $482,000
or 9.1% during the three and six month period ended June 30, 1999,  respectively
over the prior comparable periods.  The Company's effective tax rate amounted to
18.5% and 21.8%,  respectively,  during the three and six months  periods  ended
June 30, 1999  (excluding  the effect of a $500,000  tax credit  recorded in the
second  quarter  of 1999  related to the  purchase  of  certain  investment  tax
credits),  compared  to 20.2%  and  25.5% in the 1998  comparable  periods.  The
decrease in 1999 of the Company's  effective tax rate is primarily  attributable
to the more effective management of the Company's exempt securities portfolio.

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.


                                      -14-
<PAGE>
            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 June 30, 1999, the Company had $200.0  million in borrowing  capacity
under warehousing lines of credit, $376.1 million in borrowings capacity under a
line of credit with the FHLB of New York and $15  million  under  federal  funds
lines of credit.  The Company has generally not relied upon brokered deposits as
a source of liquidity,  and does not anticipate a change in this practice in the
foreseeable future.

            At June 30, 1999, the Company had outstanding  commitments to extend
credit  totaling $54.1 million.  Certificates  of deposit which are scheduled to
mature within one year totaled  $612.3  million at June 30, 1999, and borrowings
that are scheduled to mature within the same period  amounted to $721.7 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
to 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 June 30,  1999,  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 6.59%, 11.24% and 12.15%, 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.
