1998 Results Consistent with Pre-Earnings Release
January 28, 1999

LOSSES ON SECURITIES, DERIVATIVES, AND REAL ESTATE
OAC incurred  losses of $53.5 million which were comprised  primarily of a $49.0
million  writedown of its securities  available for sale portfolio  (subordinate
and residual mortgage-backed  securities), a loss of $0.5 on derivatives,  and a
$3.9 million  charge on its  property  located in Halifax,  Nova  Scotia.  Total
losses on securities,  derivatives,  and real estate for the year ended December
31, 1998 were $86.3 million.

The  charges  on  the  securities  available  for  sale  portfolio  were  due to
accelerated  prepayment speeds,  widening mortgage spreads, and declining market
liquidity.  For example,  OAC values its securities portfolio at fair value each
month.  Subordinate  and residual  securities  are not readily  marketable,  and
therefore, trades may be infrequent, and valuations obtained each month from the
Company's brokers/dealers are subject to pricing volatility.

STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO REGARDING DE-REITING
William C. Erbey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "On December 21,
1998,  our Board of  Directors  approved a proposal to terminate  the  Company's
status as a real estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  and to change to a taxable
C-corporation. By eliminating the dividend requirement, retained earnings can be
used to enhance liquidity and shareholders' equity, as well as to facilitate the
transition  of the  Company to a growth  strategy.  In  addition,  C-corporation
status offers more strategic flexibility than a REIT structure,  particularly in
volatile  markets.  The  Company's  proposal to de-REIT  will be  considered  by
shareholders at its Annual Meeting,  which is expected to be held in May 1999 at
the Company's  headquarters  in West Palm Beach,  Florida.  Consistent with this
proposal, the Board of Directors deferred declaration and payment of OAC's final
1998  dividend,  which is  expected  to range from $14.6  million,  or $0.77 per
share, to $16.1 million,  or $0.85 per share.  Currently,  management expects to
recommend the  declaration  and payment of this dividend in 1999. In conclusion,
we believe that the Board's  proposal to  relinquish  our REIT status is a sound
strategy  which will enhance our  liquidity,  bolster our equity base, and allow
the Company  greater  flexibility in devising  strategies to support and service
existing and future operations and investments."


LIQUIDITY
At December 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $53.4 million
and a debt to equity ratio of 2.9 to 1. At December  31, 1998,  OAC's book value
per share was  $11.66,  compared to $12.81 at  September  30, 1998 and $14.30 at
December 31, 1997.  The Company's  year-end 1998 book value was $18.2 million in
excess of the highest net worth  covenant  associated  with the  Company's  debt
agreements.

Consistent  with our  announced  plans to  de-Reit  and  defer  the  final  1998
dividend, the Company is pursuing several other strategies to improve liquidity,
including  seeking  alternate  sources  of  financing.  At  present,  management
believes that the Company will be able to satisfy funding  requirements  for the
foreseeable future either from existing, replacement, or new funding sources.

SELECTED REVIEW OF OPERATING RESULTS

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

Net interest income before  provision for loan losses  increased $3.7 million to
$9.2 million  during the fourth  quarter of 1998,  compared to the same period a
year ago. This increase was due to a $14.4 million  increase in interest income,
offset  by a  $10.7  million  increase  in  interest  expense.  Interest  income
increased  as a result of a $439.5  million  increase in the average  balance of
interest-earning  assets and a 265 basis point  increase  in the  average  yield
earned. The Company's average  interest-bearing  liabilities increased by $490.3
million  with an average  cost of funds of 8.72%.  These  increases  in interest
income and interest expense are largely the result of OAC, in the fourth quarter
of 1997, being newly formed, only partially invested, and not being levered (OAC
commenced  operations on May 14, 1997). Net interest income before provision for
loan losses increased $22.0 million to $35.4 million for the year ended December
31, 1998, compared to the same period a year ago.

1998 Results Consistent with Pre-Earnings Release

REAL ESTATE INCOME, NET
- -----------------------

Real estate  income,  net decreased  $1.4 million to $0.05 million for the three
months ended  December 31,  1998,  compared to the same period a year ago.  This
decrease was largely due to a $6.9 million increase in rental income,  offset by
a $3.4 million increase in rental operation  expense, a $1.2 million increase in
depreciation and amortization  expense,  and a $2.8 million increase in interest
expense. These increases in real estate operating income and expenses,  compared
to the same period a year ago,  were  largely the result of an increase in OAC's
investment in real estate, net of $208.1 million at December 31, 1998,  compared
to $45.4  million at December  31,  1997,  which were not  levered.  Real estate
income,  net decreased  $0.4 million to $1.1 million for the year ended December
31, 1998, compared to the same period a year ago.

OTHER EXPENSES
- --------------

Other expenses increased $5.2 million to $6.7 million for the three months ended
December 31,  1998,  compared to the same period a year ago.  This  increase was
largely  due to a $1.0  million  increase in  management  fees,  a $3.9  million
increase in other expenses (which consisted generally of servicing,  accounting,
audit,  legal, excise tax, and bond amortization  expenses),  and a $0.8 million
increase in due  diligence  expense.  These  increases  in other  expenses  were
largely the result of OAC becoming  fully  invested and leveraging its assets in
1998. Other expenses increased $10.2 million to $13.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998,  compared to the same period a year ago. The management  fees
payable by OAC to Ocwen Capital Corporation  ("OCC"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary
of Ocwen Financial Corporation (NYSE: OCN), totaled $1.8 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 1998 and $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.

LOSSES ON SECURITIES, DERIVATIVES, AND REAL ESTATE
- --------------------------------------------------

Due to accelerated  prepayment speeds,  widening mortgage spreads, and declining
market  liquidity,  OAC recognized a $53.5 million charge to earnings during the
fourth quarter of 1998.  This charge was comprised  primarily of a $49.0 million
writedown  of the  securities  available  for sale  portfolio  (subordinate  and
residual mortgage-backed  securities), a loss of $0.5 on derivatives, and a $3.9
million charge on the property  located in Halifax,  Nova Scotia.  Each security
was written down to the lower of amortized  cost or fair value.  Total losses on
securities,  derivatives,  and real estate for the year ended December 31, 1998,
were $86.3 million.

MINORITY INTEREST IN NET LOSS OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY
- --------------------------------------------------------

Minority interest in net loss of consolidated  subsidiary increased $4.5 million
and $4.9  million  for the three and twelve  months  ended  December  31,  1998,
respectively,  which represents the portion of the operating  partnership's loss
attributed to the limited partnership interest owned by an affiliate of OCC. OAC
has a 91.3% ownership interest in such operating partnership.

SELECTED REVIEW OF SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

At December 31, 1998, OAC's  securities  available for sale portfolio was $351.2
million and consisted of:

  o  Non-investment  grade and unrated  subordinate  commercial  mortgage-backed
     securities  having an amortized  cost of $115.7 million and a fair value of
     $117.1 million,

  o  Unrated  residential  subprime residuals having an amortized cost of $209.0
     million and a fair value of $218.7 million, and

  o  Unrated  subordinate  residential   mortgage-backed  securities  having  an
     amortized cost of $15.4 million and a fair value of $15.4 million.

OAC's unrated subprime residual portfolio of $218.7 million consisted of:

  o  $110.0 million of seasoned  residuals  (securitized  between 1994 and 1997)
     with overcollateralization reserves funded at approximately $122.5 million,
     and

  o  $108.7  million  of  unseasoned   residuals   (securitized  in  1998)  with
     overcollateralization reserves funded at approximately $26.6 million.

SELECTED REVIEW OF LIQUIDITY POSITION

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE
- ----------------------------------------------

Securities  sold under  agreements to repurchase were $138.6 million at December
31,  1998,  a  decrease  from  $143.1  million  at  September  30,  1998.  These
obligations  were  secured  by  certain  of OAC's  investments  in  subordinated
interests  in  commercial  mortgage-backed  securities,  residual  interests  in
subprime  residential  loan  securitizations,  and U.K.  mortgage  loan residual
securities.   The  following  table  summarizes  the  maturity  dates  of  OAC's
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and the fair value of the related
collateral securities as of December 31, 1998:

</TABLE>

Currently,  interest  payments  with  respect to all of these  obligations  were
approximately  $1.0  million  per  month  (which  assumes  that  the  repurchase
agreements,  which mature within 30 days, are renewed at approximately  the same
rate of interest).

OBLIGATIONS OUTSTANDING UNDER LINES OF CREDIT
- ---------------------------------------------

Obligations  outstanding  under  lines of credit  amounted  to $34.5  million at
December  31, 1998,  compared to $189.1  million at  September  30,  1998.  This
decrease is due to the repayment of the $136.0 million warehouse line secured by
residential loans as a result of the securitization and a reclassification of UK
mortgage loan residuals of $19.5 million. The borrowings were comprised of $34.5
million  pursuant  to  a  three-year  agreement,   which  is  collateralized  by
commercial loans and is described below,  under  "Obligations  Outstanding Under
Lines of Credit - Real  Estate".  The  securitization  resulted  in the  Company
retaining $163.4 million of match funded debt.

OBLIGATIONS OUTSTANDING UNDER LINES OF CREDIT - REAL ESTATE
- -----------------------------------------------------------

Obligations outstanding under lines of credit secured by real estate amounted to
$142.6 million at December 31, 1998, compared to $142.4 million at September 30,
1998.  These  borrowings have a three-year term and an interest rate that floats
in  accordance  with  LIBOR.  Set forth  below is  information  regarding  OAC's
mortgage  indebtedness relating to its investment in real estate at December 31,
1998:

1) Plus up to $5.0 million of additional  advances for capital  improvements  to
   the Bush Street Property.
2) Represents the portion of the  outstanding  balance under a $200 million loan
   that is secured by real estate. As of December 31, 1998, OAC's investments in
   Cortez Plaza, 450 Sansome Street,  10 U.N. Plaza,  Prudential  Plaza, and 690
   Market Street secured this loan, and an additional $34.5 million was borrowed
   and secured by commercial mortgage loans under this line of credit.
3) Subject to certain conditions,  OAC may extend the maturity date by one year.
4) Based on the interest rate in effect as of December 31, 1998.
