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 mortgage investments. In late 1992
the Company entered into the mortgage servicing business. Mortgage servicing
includes collecting and accounting for payments of principal and interest from
borrowers, remitting such payments to investors, holding escrow funds for
payment of mortgage-related expenses such as taxes and insurance, making
advances to cover delinquent payments, inspecting the mortgage premises as
required, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising foreclosures and
property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults, and generally
administering the loans. Fees are received for servicing residential mortgage
loans ranging generally from 0.25 to 0.38 percent per annum on the declining
principal balances of the loans and are collected out of monthly mortgage
payments. In December 1998 the Company sold its mortgage banking operations and
currently manages portfolios of high quality, single-family residential
mortgage-backed securities.

For further discussion of the Company's business, see the Registrant's Annual
Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1998 on pages 30 through
35.

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, 1998 on pages 39 through 41.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Company may enter into other short- or long-term investment strategies as
the opportunities arise. With the December 1998 sale of its mortgage banking
operations, and reduced mortgage asset holdings, the Company entered 1999 with
substantial liquidity. The Company is evaluating a number of opportunities to
acquire or make strategic investments in a variety of real estate-related
investments and entities, although there can be no assurance that the Company
will make any such investments.

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 FNMA and FHLMC with respect to
servicing and originating mortgage loans. In addition, there are other federal
and state statutes and regulations affecting such activities. Moreover, the
Company has been required to annually submit audited financial statements to
FNMA and FHLMC, and each regulatory entity has its own financial requirements.
The mortgage banking operation's affairs have also been subject to examination
by FNMA and FHLMC at all times to assure compliance with applicable regulations,
policies and procedures. Many of the aforementioned regulatory requirements are
designed to protect the interests of consumers, while others protect the owners
or insurers of mortgage loans. Failure to comply with these requirements can
lead to loss of approved status, termination of servicing contracts without
compensation to the servicer, demands for indemnification or loan repurchases,
class action lawsuits and administrative enforcement actions.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1998, the Company had 22 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 1998, no distributions were
characterized as capital gains due to capital losses realized on the sale of
mortgage assets this year. Capstead REIT has substantial capital loss
carryforwards that will in all likelihood eliminate the potential for capital
gain distributions through the year 2004 when remaining capital loss
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 90.5 percent, 8.6
percent and 0.9 percent of the preferred stock distributions were characterized
as ordinary income, medium-term capital gain and long-term capital gain,
respectively. 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 date 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.
