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, 2001 and the results of
operations and changes in its cash flows for the three and six months ended June
30, 2001 and 2000.

         The results of operations for the three and six months periods ended

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

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

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per common share for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are computed by dividing net income for such
periods by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during such periods. The weighted average of 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 (717,600 and 654,508 during the three month periods ended June 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively, and 719,728 and 654,873 during the six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively). No other adjustments were
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:

(1)      The increase in the ratio was partially caused by significant loan
         securitizations during the last two quarters of 2000 and the first two
         quarters of 2001, 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 June 30, 2001 and December 31,
         2000, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans would have been
         4.72% and 4.46%, 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 June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 would have been 1.64% and
         64.5%, respectively, and 1.61% and 73.7%, respectively.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS TO BUY AND SELL GNMA CERTIFICATES

         As of June 30, 2001, the Company had open commitments to issue GNMA
certificates of approximately $15.0 million.

COMMITMENTS TO SELL MORTGAGE LOANS

         As of June 30, 2001 the Company had commitments to sell mortgage loans
to third party investors amounting to approximately $220.8 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, 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 $539.8 million at June 30, 2001. Liability, if any,
under the recourse provisions at June 30, 2001 is estimated by management to be
insignificant.

NOTE 8 - SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME STATEMENT INFORMATION

         Employee costs and other administrative and general expenses are shown
in the Consolidated Statements of Income net of direct loan origination costs.
Direct loan origination costs are capitalized as part of the carrying cost of
mortgage loans and are offset against mortgage loan sales and fees when the
loans are sold, or amortized as a yield adjustment to interest income on loans
held for investment.

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 $6.9 billion as of June 30, 2001, from $6.4
billion as of the same date a year ago, an increase of 8.2%. 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 June 30, 2001, the Company held securities available for sale with a fair
market value of $1.7 billion, which included $1.2 billion of mortgage-backed
securities of which $563.3 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 June 30, 2001, total assets amounted to $4.1 billion, as compared to
$3.5 billion at December 31, 2000. The $588.4 million or 16.6% increase in total
assets since year-end was primarily the result of a $201.6 million or 13.3%
increase in mortgage-backed and investment securities available for sale, a
$117.3 million or 974.3% increase in mortgage-backed securities held for
trading, a $118.8 million or 124.2% increase in mortgage loans held for sale and
a $98.7 million or 6.0% increase in loans receivable, net.

         At June 30, 2001, deposits totaled $1.8 billion, an increase of $163.4
million or 9.7% when compared to December 31, 2000. In addition, at June 30,
2001, R&G Financial had $1.8 billion of borrowings (consisting of securities
sold under agreements to repurchase, notes payable, FHLB advances and other
borrowings), as compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2000. R&G Financial
utilized deposits (primarily certificates of deposits) and repurchase agreements
to fund its growth during the period.


                                       16
   17
 At June 30, 2001, R&G Financial's allowance for loan losses totaled $13.0
million, which represented a $2.4 million or 11.9% increase from the level
maintained at December 31, 2000. At June 30, 2001, R&G Financial's allowance
represented approximately 0.71% of the total loan portfolio and 11.39% 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 1.64%
and 64.5%, respectively, at June 30, 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 $114.0 million at June 30, 2001, an
increase of $54.6 million when compared to $59.4 million at December 31, 1999.
However, $46.4 million or 85% 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. As noted above, 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 amounted
to 0.39% during the first half 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 3.69% to 5.52% from December
31, 1999 to December 31, 2000 and to 6.23% at June 30, 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 half of 2001,
which reduced the amount of loans considered in the calculation of the ratio.
Without giving effect to loan securitizations, as of June 30, 2001 and December
31, 2000, the ratio of non-performing loans would have been 4.72% and 4.46%,
respectively.

         Stockholders' equity increased from $308.8 million at December 31, 2000
to $424.1 million at June 30, 2001. The $115.2 million or 37.3% increase was due
primarily to the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of Class B common stock on June
27, 2001 for aggregate net proceeds of $28.2 million, the issuance of 2,760,000
shares of the Company's 7.60% Monthly Income Preferred Stock, Series C, in March
2001 for aggregate net proceeds of $66.6 million and the net income recognized
during the period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         During the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, R&G Financial
reported net income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle of $15.4 million and $28.8 million, or $0.43 and $0.81 of earnings per
diluted share, respectively, compared to $10.7 million and $20.2 million or
$0.32 and $0.59 of earnings per diluted share for the comparative periods in
2000.

         Net interest income increased by $6.1 million or 18.2% during the six
month period ended June 30, 2001 to $39.6 million, primarily due to an increase
in the average balance of interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by
a 5 basis point decline in the net interest margin from 2.34% to 2.29%. With
interest rates currently declining, R&G Financial expects a gradual improvement
in its net interest margin, as evidenced by the 14 basis point improvement in
the three month period ended June 30, 2001 when compared with the three month
period ended June 30, 2000. The provision for loan losses amounted to $4.1
million during the six months ended June 30, 2001, a 44% 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.

         R&G Financial also experienced an increase in non-interest income
during the six months ended June 30, 2001 over the prior comparable period. Net
gain on sale of loans increased significantly, by $10.2 million or 61% over the
prior comparable period, which was due both to the volume of loans originated
and sold as well as increased profits made on loans sold. Loan administration
and servicing fees also increased by $1.7 million or 11% over the comparable
periods, due to the growth in the loan servicing portfolio.

         Net interest income increased by $4.7 million or 28% to $21.4 million
during the quarter ended June 30, 2001, due to an increase in the average
balance of interest-earning assets, together with a 14 basis points increase in
the net interest margin from 2.25% to 2.39%. Net gain on sale of loans increased
26% to $11.9 million during the three month ended June 30, 2001.

         Total expenses increased by $7.3 million or 18% during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 over the prior comparable period, primarily due to a $4.2
million or 21% increase in other administrative and general expenses, primarily
due to increased amortization of the Company's servicing asset and increased
advertising expenses to increase loan production. Employee compensation and
benefits increased by $1.6 million or 12% associated with employees hired to
accommodate increased loan production. These increases were accompanied by a
$1.4 million or 22% increase in occupancy expenses.

         Total expenses increased by $4.0 million or 20% during the three month
period ended June 30, 2001 over the prior comparable period, due to a $1.9
million or 18% increase in other general and administrative expenses, a $1.3
million or 22% increase in employee compensation and benefits, and a $794,000 or
24% increase in occupancy expenses.

         The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 25% during the three
month period ended June 30, 2000 to 21% during the three month period ended June
30, 2001. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate during the quarter
ended June 30, 2001 is primarily related to increases in the Company's
tax-exempt interest income as a result of growth of the Company's tax-exempt
securities portfolio.

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 June 30, 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.

(3)      Includes securities held for trading, available for sale and held to
         maturity.

         As of June 30, 2001, the Company had a one year negative gap of
approximately $109.9 million which constituted 2.7% of total assets as 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 is
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 six months
ended June 30, 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.

(2)      Run-off refers to regular amortization of loans, prepayments and
         foreclosures.

(3)      At the dates shown, included $995.0 million and $1.3 billion of loans
         serviced for the Bank, respectively, which constituted 14.4% and 19.8%
         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 June 30, 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 six
month ended June 30, 2001 the Company recognized $1,350,000 of unscheduled

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 June 30, 2001, the Company had $72.1 million in borrowings capacity
under unused warehousing and other lines of credit, $583.4 million in borrowings
capacity under unused lines of credit with the FHLB of New York and $40 million
under unused federal funds lines of credit. The Company has generally not relied
upon brokered deposits as a source of liquidity.

         At June 30, 2001, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate
and/or purchase mortgage and non-mortgage loans of $145.0 (including unused
lines of credit) million. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature
within one year totaled $1.0 billion at June 30, 2001, and borrowings that are
scheduled to mature within the same period amounted to $1.1 billion. 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,


                                       24

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,
2001, 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%,
12.50% and 13.20%, 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.
