PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.


Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("CMC" or the "Company") was incorporated on April
15, 1985 in Maryland and commenced operations in September 1985. The Company's
business plan is to build a mortgage investment firm, earning income from
investing in mortgage assets on a leveraged basis and other investment
strategies.

Initially, the Company structured and managed residential mortgage investments.
From 1992 through 1998 the Company also operated a residential mortgage
servicing operation that was sold in December 1998. During 1999 the Company's
primary focus consisted of managing a portfolio of single-family residential
mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities, either
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae ("Agency Securities").

The Company is considering modifying its investment strategy to replace a
portion of its existing mortgage investments with a diversified portfolio of
credit-sensitive commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") and residential
mortgage-backed securities, most of which are expected to be "investment grade"
at the time of purchase as determined by national rating agencies.
Credit-sensitive mortgage securities generally earn higher yields than those
typically earned on the Company's existing mortgage assets, due largely to a
higher risk of default by the underlying borrowers and, to a lesser extent,
reduced liquidity. Fully implementing this proposed modification of investment
strategy could necessitate a repositioning of the Company's existing portfolio
of mortgage securities, which could result in the recognition in operating
results of a portion of the unrealized losses on these securities that are
currently reflected in the balance sheet.

For further discussion of the Company's business, see the Registrant's Annual
Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1999 on pages 33 through
39.


EFFECTS OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

For discussion of effects of interest rate changes on the Company's mortgage
securities portfolios, see the Registrant's Annual Report to Stockholders for
the year ended December 31, 1999 on pages 43 through 45.


RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CREDIT-SENSITIVE INVESTMENTS

For discussion of risks associated with credit-sensitive investments, see the
Registrant's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1999
on pages 45 through 46.


OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Company may enter into other short- or long-term investment strategies as
the opportunities arise.


COMPETITION

In purchasing mortgage securities, the Company competes with savings banks,
commercial banks, mortgage and investment bankers, conduits, insurance
companies, other lenders and mutual funds.


REGULATION AND RELATED MATTERS

Prior to its sale December 31, 1998, the Company's mortgage banking operations
were subject to the rules and regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with
respect to servicing and originating mortgage


1
4

loans. In addition, there are other federal and state statutes and regulations
affecting such activities. Many of the these regulatory requirements are
designed to protect the interests of consumers, while others protect the owners
or insurers of mortgage loans. Failure to have complied with these requirements
could lead to demands for indemnification or loan repurchases from the buyers of
the mortgage banking operations or Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, class action
lawsuits and administrative enforcement actions.


EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had 19 full-time employees.


TAX STATUS

As used herein, "Capstead REIT" refers to CMC and the entities that are
consolidated with CMC for federal income tax purposes. Capstead REIT has elected
to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and intends to continue to
do so. As a result of this election, Capstead REIT will not be taxed at the
corporate level on taxable income distributed to stockholders, provided that
certain requirements concerning the nature and composition of its income and
assets are met and that at least 95 percent of its REIT taxable income is
distributed.

If Capstead REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be
subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates and would not receive a
deduction for dividends paid to stockholders. If this were the case, the amount
of after-tax earnings available for distribution to stockholders would decrease
substantially.

As long as Capstead REIT qualifies as a REIT, it will generally be taxable only
on its undistributed taxable income. Distributions out of current or accumulated
earnings and profits will be taxed to stockholders as ordinary income or capital
gain, as the case may be. Distributions in excess of the Company's accumulated
and current earnings and profits will constitute a non-taxable return of capital
to the stockholders (except insofar as such distributions exceed the cost basis
of the shares of stock) resulting in a corresponding reduction in the cost basis
of the shares of stock. The Company notifies its stockholders of the proportion
of distributions made during the taxable year that constitutes ordinary income,
return of capital or capital gains.

For 1999, 100 percent of the common and preferred stock distributions were
characterized as ordinary income; no distributions were characterized as capital
gains due to the utilization of capital loss carryforwards. Capstead REIT
realized substantial capital losses on the sale of mortgage assets in 1998. The
resulting capital loss carryforwards will in all likelihood eliminate the
potential for capital gain distributions through the year 2004 when these
carryforwards expire. During 1998, 92.0 percent and 8.0 percent of the common
stock distributions were characterized as ordinary income and nontaxable return
of capital, respectively, while 100 percent of the preferred stock distributions
were characterized as ordinary income. For 1997, capital gains were classified
as medium-term on sold assets that were held 12 to 18 months, and long-term on
sold assets that were held longer than 18 months. During 1997, 83.7 percent, 7.5
percent, 7.4 percent and 1.4 percent of the common stock distributions were
characterized as ordinary income; no distributions were characterized as capital
gains due to the utilization of capital loss carryforwards. Capstead REIT
realized substantial capital losses on the sale of mortgage assets in 1998. The
resulting capital loss carryforwards will in all likelihood eliminate the
potential for capital gain distributions through the year 2004 when these
carryforwards expire. During 1998, 92.0 percent and 8.0 percent of the common
stock distributions were characterized as ordinary income and nontaxable return
of capital, respectively, while 100 percent of the preferred stock distributions
were characterized as ordinary income. For 1997, capital gains were classified
as medium-term on sold assets that were held 12 to 18 months, and long-term on
sold assets that were held longer than 18 months. During 1997, 83.7 percent, 7.5
percent, 7.4 percent and 1.4 percent of the common stock distributions were
characterized as ordinary income, nontaxable return of capital, medium-term
capital gain and long-term capital gain, respectively, while 100 percent of the
preferred stock distributions were characterized as ordinary income.
Distributions by the Company will not normally be eligible for the dividends
received deduction for corporations. Should the Company incur losses,
stockholders will not be entitled to include such losses in their individual
income tax returns.

All taxable income of Capstead Holdings, Inc., and its primary subsidiary
Capstead Inc. (which held the mortgage banking operations prior to their sale in
December 1998), is subject to federal and state income taxes, where applicable.
Capstead REIT's taxable income will include earnings of these subsidiaries only
upon payment to Capstead REIT by distribution of such earnings, and only if
these distributions are made out of current earnings and profits.

The foregoing is general in character. Reference should be made to pertinent
Internal Revenue Code sections and the Regulations issued thereunder for a
comprehensive statement of applicable federal income tax consequences.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

The Company's operations are conducted in Dallas, Texas on properties leased by
the Company.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Between July 23, 1998 and November 11, 1998, twenty-four purported class action
lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its senior officers which
allege, among other things, that the defendants violated federal securities laws
by publicly issuing false and misleading statements and omitting disclosure of
material adverse information regarding the Company's business during various
periods between January 28, 1997 and July 24, 1998. The complaints claim that as
a result of such alleged improper actions, the market price of the Company's
equity securities were artificially inflated during that time period. The
complaints seek monetary damages in an undetermined amount. In March 1999 these
actions were consolidated. The time by which the Company is to respond has not
yet run. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims and
intends to vigorously defend the actions.

All of the lawsuits are pending in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas. In 23 of the lawsuits, the individual defendants
were Ronn K. Lytle, Christopher T. Gilson, Julie A. Moore, Andrew F. Jacobs and
William H. Rudluff. In one of the lawsuits, the individual defendants included
only Messrs. Lytle and Jacobs and Ms. Moore.
