PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("Capstead," the "Company" or the "Registrant")
was incorporated on April 15, 1985 in Maryland and commenced operations in
September 1985. Capstead is a mortgage investment firm operating as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") that earns 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").
With the election of a new Board of Directors in April 2000, the Company
modified its investment strategy to focus on adjustable-rate and short-maturity
assets, including, but not limited to, adjustable-rate Agency Securities and
credit-sensitive commercial and residential mortgage assets. By focusing on
investments that adjust to a more current interest rate within one to twelve
months, this investment strategy is intended to help preserve capital and
stabilize earnings prospects over the long term.
For further discussion of the Company's business, see the Registrant's Annual
Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2000 on pages 27 through
32.
EFFECTS OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
For discussion of effects of interest rate changes on the Company's mortgage
asset portfolios, see the Registrant's Annual Report to Stockholders for the
year ended December 31, 2000 on pages 36 through 38.
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, 2000
on pages 38 and 39.
OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Company may enter into other short- or long-term investment strategies as
the opportunities arise.
COMPETITION
In purchasing mortgage assets, 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 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, 2000, the Company had 17 full-time employees.
TAX STATUS
As used herein, "Capstead REIT" refers to Capstead and the entities that are
consolidated with Capstead 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% (90% for years after 2000) 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 Capstead REIT'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 2000, 70.4% and 29.6% of the common stock distributions were characterized
as ordinary income and nontaxable return of capital, respectively, while 100% of
the preferred stock distributions were characterized as ordinary income.
For 1999, 100% 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 and
2000. The resulting unused capital loss carryforwards of $331 million as of
December 31, 2000, will in all likelihood eliminate the potential for capital
gain distributions through the year 2005 when these carryforwards expire. During
1998, 92.0% and 8.0% of the common stock distributions were characterized as
ordinary income and nontaxable return of capital, respectively, while 100% of
the preferred stock distributions were characterized as ordinary income.
Distributions by the Company will not 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.
These non-REIT subsidiaries had net operating loss carryforwards of $7.1 million
as of December 31, 2000 and sufficient alternative minimum tax credit
carryforwards to offset the payment of federal income taxes on $5.0 million of
future taxable income, if any, earned by these subsidiaries. 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 in an office leased by
the Company.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
During 1998 twenty-four purported class action lawsuits were filed against the
Company and certain of its officers alleging, 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 and in July 2000, a lead plaintiff group was appointed by the
court. An amended complaint was filed October 20, 2000. On February 20, 2001 the
Company responded to this amended complaint. The Company believes it has
meritorious defenses to the claims and intends to vigorously defend the actions.
Based on available information, management believes the resolution of these
suits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the
Company.
