AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American
Residential Investment Trust, Inc., ("AmRES"), a Maryland corporation, and
American Residential Eagle, Inc. ("Eagle"), its wholly owned subsidiary
(collectively "AmRIT"). Substantially all of the assets of Eagle are pledged or
subordinated to support long-term debt in the form of collateralized mortgage
bonds ("Long-Term Debt") and are not available for the satisfaction of general
claims of AmRIT and American Residential Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"),
(collectively the "Company"). The Company's exposure to loss on the assets
pledged as collateral is limited to its net investment, as the Long-Term Debt is
non-recourse to the Company. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions with Eagle have been eliminated in the consolidation of AmRIT.

During the first half of 1998, the Company formed Holdings, through which a
portion of the Company's non-conforming adjustable-rate and fixed-rate,
single-family whole loans (collectively, "Mortgage Loans"), acquisition and
finance activities are conducted. AmRIT owns all of the preferred stock and has
a non-voting 95% economic interest in Holdings. Because AmRIT does not control
Holdings, its investment in Holdings is accounted for under the equity method.
Under this method, original equity investments in Holdings are recorded at cost
and adjusted by AmRIT's share of earnings or losses and decreased by dividends
received.

For financial reporting purposes, references to "AmRIT" mean AmRES and Eagle;
while references to the "Company" mean AmRES, Eagle, and Holdings. Certain
amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current
presentation.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Organization

AmRES commenced operations on February 11, 1997. AmRES was financed through a
private equity funding from its manager, Home Asset Management Corporation (the
"Manager"). AmRES operates as a mortgage real estate investment trust ("REIT")
which has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for Federal
income tax purposes, which generally will allow AmRES to pass its income through
to its stockholders without payment of corporate level Federal income tax,
provided that the Company distributes at least 95% of its taxable income to
stockholders. During 1998, AmRES formed Eagle, a special-purpose finance
subsidiary. Holdings, a non-REIT, taxable affiliate of the Company, was
established during the first half of 1998. The Company acquires residential
mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans (collectively, "Mortgage Assets").
These Mortgage Assets are typically secured by single-family real estate
properties throughout the United States. The Company utilizes both debt and
equity to finance its acquisitions. The Company may also use securitization
techniques to enhance the value and liquidity of the Company's Mortgage Assets
and may sell Mortgage Assets from time to time.

The Company diversified its residential mortgage loan sales activities in the
second quarter of 1998 to include the securitization of such loans through a
Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit ("REMIC"). The REMIC, which consisted of
pooled adjustable-rate first-lien mortgages, was issued by Holdings to the
public through the registration statement of the related underwriter.

Recent Accounting Developments

     Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS
No. 131 established standards for the way that public enterprises report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that selected information about these operating segments be reported in interim
financial statements. SFAS No. 131 requires that all public enterprises report
financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments.
Operating segments are defined as components evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. This statement was effective for the Company beginning January 1,
1998. Management has concluded that the Company operates in one segment. The
previously reported segments of REIT and taxable subsidiary have been combined
as the taxable subsidiary does not represent more than 10% of the total assets,
income or revenue for the Company.

     Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may
be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair
value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b)
a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or
(c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign
operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a
foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction.


                                       6

<PAGE>   9

Under SFAS No. 133, an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is required
to establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use for assessing
the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement approach for
determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those methods must be
consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk.

SFAS No. 133 amends SFAS No. 32, "Foreign Currency Translation," to permit
special accounting for a hedge of a foreign currency forecasted transaction with
a derivative. It supersedes SFAS No. 80, "Accounting for Futures Contracts,"
SFAS No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with
Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit
Risk," and SFAS No. 119, "Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and
Fair Value of Financial Instruments." It amends SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments," to include in SFAS No. 107 the disclosure
provisions about concentrations of credit risk from SFAS No. 105. This statement
also nullifies or modifies the consensuses reached in a number of issues
addressed by the Emerging Issues Task Force.

In June, 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 137 defers
the effective date of SFAS No. 133 for one year. SFAS No. 133, as amended, is
now effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS No.
133.

   Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained

In October 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed
Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale by
a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." SAFS No. 134 is an amendment to SFAS No. 65,
which required that after the securitization of a mortgage loan held-for-sale,
an entity engaged in mortgage banking activities classify the resulting
mortgage-backed securities as trading security. SFAS No. 134 further amends SFAS
No. 65 and requires that after the securitization of mortgage loans
held-for-sale, an entity engaged in mortgage banking activities classify the
resulting mortgage-backed securities or other retained interests based on its
ability and intent to sell or to hold those investments. SFAS No. 134 conforms
the subsequent accounting for securities retained after the securitization of
mortgage loans by a mortgage banking enterprise with the subsequent accounting
for securities retained after the securitization of other types of assets by
non-mortgage banking enterprises. SFAS No. 134 was effective January 1, 1999.
The adoption of SFAS No. 134 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operation.

At June 30, 1999 all investments in Mortgage Securities consisted of interests
in adjustable rate mortgage loans on residential properties. The securitized
interest in pools of adjustable rate mortgages from the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association are
guaranteed as to principal and interest. The original maturity is subject to
change based on the prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans.

At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the weighted average net coupon on the
Mortgage Securities was 7.08% and 7.60% per annum, respectively, based on the
amortized cost of the Mortgage Securities. All Mortgage Securities have a
repricing frequency of one year or less.

NOTE 4.  BOND COLLATERAL, MORTGAGE LOANS

AmRIT has pledged collateral in order to secure the Long-Term Debt issued in the
form of Bond Collateral. Bond Collateral consists primarily of adjustable-rate,
conventional, 30-year mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to
four-family residential properties. All Bond Collateral is pledged to secure
repayment of the related Long-Term Debt obligation. All principal and interest
(less servicing and related fees) on the Bond Collateral is remitted to a
trustee and is available for payment on the Long-Term Debt obligation. The
obligations under the Long-Term Debt are payable solely from the Bond Collateral
and are otherwise non-recourse to AmRIT.

The components of the Bond Collateral at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 are
summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

At June 30, 1999, the weighted average net coupon on the Bond Collateral for the
CMO/FASIT 1998-1 was 9.70% per annum based on the amortized cost of the Bond
Collateral. At June 30, 1999, approximately 38% of the collateral was located in
California for the CMO/FASIT 1998-1. No other state represented more than 6% for
the CMO/FASIT 1998-1.

At June 30, 1999, the weighted average net coupon on the Bond Collateral for the
CMO 1999-1 was 8.91% per annum based on the amortized cost of the Bond
Collateral. At June 30, 1999, approximately 38% of the collateral was located in
California for the CMO 1999-1. No other state represented more than 7% for the
CMO 1999-1.

The Company's policy is to accrue interest on all Mortgage Loans. An allowance
is provided for accrued interest deemed uncollectible based on their status.
Approximately $25.6 million in impaired Mortgage Loans had approximately $2.1
million of interest reserve as of June 30, 1999. At December 31, 1998, there

NOTE 5. BOND COLLATERAL, REAL ESTATE OWNED

The Company owned 34 properties as of June 30, 1999. Upon transfer of the loans
to real estate owned, the Company recorded a corresponding charge against the
allowance for loan losses to write down the real estate owned to fair value less
cost of disposal. Any subsequent adjustments to real estate owned will be
provided for with the establishment of a valuation allowance and recorded as a
carrying expense for real estate owned. At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
real estate owned totalled approximately $3.9 million and $490 thousand,

The Company classifies REMIC securities as available-for-sale securities and
carries them at market value. The fair value of the retained interest is
determined by computing the present value of the excess of the weighted-average
coupon of the residential mortgages sold (9.32%) over the sum of: (1) the coupon
on the senior interest (5.95%), and (2) a servicing fee paid to servicer of the
residential mortgages (0.50%) and other fees, and taking into account expected
estimated losses to be incurred on the portfolio of residential mortgages sold
over the estimated lives of the residential mortgages and using an estimated
future average prepayment assumption (25%) per year. The prepayment assumption
used in estimating the cash flows is based on recent evaluations of the actual
prepayments of the related portfolio and on market prepayment rates on new
portfolios of similar residential mortgages, taking into consideration the
current interest rate environment and its expected impact on the estimated
future prepayment rate. The estimated cash flows expected to be received by the
Company are discounted at an interest rate that the Company believes is
commensurate with the risk of holding such a financial instrument. The rate used
to discount the cash flows coming out of the trust was approximately 12%. To the
extent that actual future excess cash flows are different from estimated excess
cash flows, the fair value of the Company's retained interest could change.

Under the terms of the securitization, the retained interest is required to
build over-collateralization to specified levels using the excess cash flows
described above until set percentages of the securitized portfolio are attained.
Future cash flows to the retained interest holder are all held by the REMIC
trust until a specific percentage of either the original or current certificate
balance is attained which percentage can be raised if certain charge-offs and
delinquency ratios are exceeded. The certificate holders' recourse for credit
losses is limited to the amount of over-collateralization held in the REMIC
trust. Upon maturity of the certificates or upon exercise of an option ("clean
up call") to repurchase all the remaining residential mortgages once the balance
of the residential mortgages in the trust are reduced to 10% of the original
balance of the residential mortgages in the trust, any remaining amounts in the
trust are distributed. The current amount of any over-collateralization balance
held by the trust is recorded as part of the retained interest.

In future periods, the Company will recognize additional revenue from the
retained interest if the actual performance of the mortgage loans is higher than
the original estimate or the Company may increase the estimated fair value of
the retained interest. If the actual performance of the mortgage loans is lower
than the original estimate, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the
retained interest may be required if the estimated fair value of the retained
interest is less than its carrying value.

NOTE 7.  INTEREST RATE AGREEMENTS

The amortized cost of the Company's interest rate agreements was $306 thousand
net of accumulated amortization of $736 thousand, and $674 thousand net of
accumulated amortization of $368 thousand at June 30, 1999 and December 31,
1998, respectively.

NOTE 8.  SHORT-TERM DEBT

The Company has entered into reverse repurchase agreements with three lenders to
finance the acquisition of Mortgage Assets. The Company has a $200 million
committed and $100 million uncommitted agreement with Bear Stearns Mortgage
Capital Corporation which expired July 31, 1999, a $100 million committed
agreement with First Union National Bank which expires July 29, 2000, and a $100
million committed agreement with Morgan Stanley Mortgage Corporation, Inc. which
expires March 10, 2000. Bear Stearns Mortgage Capital Corporation extended $100
million of its committed agreement and $100 million of its uncommitted agreement
to January 31, 2000. These reverse repurchase agreements are collateralized by a
portion of the Company's Mortgage Assets.

At June 30, 1999 the Company had approximately $409.3 million of reverse
repurchase agreements outstanding with a weighted average borrowing rate of
5.73% per annum and a weighted average remaining maturity of one day. At June
30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Mortgage Assets reverse repurchase
agreements had the following characteristics (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 9.  LONG-TERM DEBT, NET

During the second quarter of 1999, AmRIT, through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Eagle, issued approximately $229.0 million of a single class of mortgage backed
notes (Long-Term Debt). The notes were assigned to a Collateralized Mortgage
Obligation (CMO) trust and trust certificates evidencing the assets of the trust
were sold to investors. The notes are principally secured by the assets of the
trust, which consist primarily of fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans
secured by first liens on one- to four-family residential properties. Payments
received on the mortgage loans ("Bond Collateral") are used to make payments on
the Long-Term Debt. The obligations under the Long-Term Debt are payable solely
from the Bond Collateral and are otherwise non-recourse to AmRIT. The maturity
of the trust certificates are directly affected by the rate of principal
repayments on the related Bond Collateral. The Long-Term Debt is also subject to
redemption according to the specific terms of the indenture pursuant to which
the bonds

                                       11

were issued and the CMO trust. As a result, the actual maturity of the Long-Term
Debt is likely to occur earlier than its stated maturity.

NOTE 10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 21, 1999, the Company declared a $0.25 per share dividend payable on
August 6, 1999 to shareholders of record as of July 30, 1999.

On July 26, 1999, the Company sold the remaining Mortgage Securities
available-for-sale. The book value of these assets at the time of sale was
approximately $3.2 million and there was a gain on sale of approximately $31
thousand.

During the third quarter of 1999, AmRIT, through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Eagle, issued approximately $394.1 million of mortgage backed bonds (Long-Term
Debt) in two classes. The bonds were assigned to a Collateralized Mortgage
Obligation (CMO) trust and trust certificates evidencing the assets of the trust
were sold to investors. The Class A-1 Bonds of approximately $332.4 million are
secured by the assets of the trust, which consist of approximately $339.8
million in adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to
four-family residential properties. The Class A-2 Bonds of approximately $61.8
million are secured by approximately $63 million in fixed-rate mortgage loans
secured by first liens on one- to four-family residential properties. Payments
received on the mortgage loans ("Bond Collateral") are used to make payments on
the Long-Term Debt. Payments received on the mortgage loans in excess of
obligations due under the Long-Term Debt agreement are remitted to the Company
on a monthly basis by the Bond Trustee. The obligations under the Long-Term Debt
are payable solely from the Bond Collateral and are otherwise non-recourse to
AmRIT. The maturity of the trust certificates are directly affected by the rate
of principal repayments on the related Bond Collateral. The Long-Term Debt is
also subject to redemption by the Company according to the specific terms of
the indenture pursuant to which the bonds were issued and the CMO trust. As a
result, the actual maturity of the Long-Term Debt is likely to occur earlier
than its stated maturity.

NOTE 11.  EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

In connection with the employment agreement between the Manager and a senior
officer of the Company, AmRES has entered into an agreement with the senior
officer, whereby AmRES has guaranteed the amount and payment of the annual
salary and bonus to this senior officer. In the event that the Manager is unable
to pay these amounts as required by the employment agreement, AmRES could incur
up to $800 thousand in related compensation and bonus expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The statements contained in this Report that are not purely historical are
forward looking statements, including statements regarding the Company's
expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future.
Statements which use the words "intends", "expects", "will", "may",
"anticipates" and "seeks" are forward looking statements. These forward looking
statements, including statements regarding changes in the Company's future
income and intent to acquire fixed rate Mortgage Loans, are based on information
available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes no
obligation to update any such forward looking statement. It is important to note
that the Company's actual results could differ materially from those in such
forward looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially are the factors set forth below under the heading "Business
Risks". In particular, the Company's future income could be affected by changes
in levels of repayments, changes in interest rates, lack of available Mortgage
Assets which meet the Company's acquisition criteria, the type of Mortgage
Assets acquired by the Company and the credit characteristics of the borrowers
underlying Mortgage Loans acquired by the Company.

OVERVIEW

The Company's income consisted of interest income generated from its Mortgage
Assets and its cash balances (collectively, "earning assets"), income generated
by equity in income of American Residential Holdings, Inc., prepayment penalty
income and management fee income.

The Company funds its acquisitions of earning assets with both its equity
capital and with borrowings. For that portion of the Company's earning assets
funded with equity capital ("equity-funded lending"), net interest income is
derived from the average yield on earning assets. Due to the adjustable-rate
nature of the majority of its earning assets, the Company expects that income
from this source will tend to increase as interest rates rise and will tend to
decrease as interest rates fall.

For that portion of the Company's earning assets funded with borrowings ("spread
lending"), the resulting net interest income is a function of the volume of
spread lending and the difference between the Company's average yield on earning
assets and the cost of borrowed funds and interest rate hedging agreements
("caps and floors"). Income from spread lending may initially decrease following
an increase in interest rates and then, after a lag period, be restored to its
former level as the yields on earning assets adjust to market conditions. Income
from spread lending may likewise increase following a fall in interest rates,
but then decrease as earning asset yields adjust to the new market conditions
after a lag period.

The Company may seek to generate growth in net income in a variety of ways,
including through (i) improving productivity by increasing the size of the
earning assets at a rate faster than operating expenses increase, (ii) changing
the mix of Mortgage Asset types among the earning assets in an effort to improve
returns, (iii) issuing new Common Stock and increasing the size of the earning
assets when opportunities in the mortgage market are likely to allow growth in
net income per share of Common Stock, and (iv) increasing the efficiency with
which the Company uses its equity capital over time by increasing the Company's
use of debt when prudent and by issuing subordinated debt, preferred stock or
other forms of debt and equity. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company's efforts will be successful or that the Company will increase or
maintain its income level.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company generated net income of
approximately $3.6 million and basic and diluted net income per share of Common
Stock of $0.45 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1998 where the Company
generated net income of approximately $4.5 million and basic and diluted net
income per share of common stock of $0.56.


                                       13

<PAGE>   16

Net interest income increased 21.4% from $5.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in net interest income was due to a change in the composition of the
total portfolio. Mortgage Securities available-for-sale decreased approximately
$300.0 million from June 30, 1998 compared to June 30, 1999, causing lower
interest income. However, Mortgage Loans held-for-investment and Bond Collateral
together increased approximately $351.0 million, from June 30, 1998 to June 30,
1999. In addition, net interest income earned on Mortgage Loans
held-for-investment and Bond Collateral are higher than net interest earned on
Mortgage Securities available-for-sale.

The provision for loan losses increased by $1.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. This trend reflects change in
the composition of mortgage loans. During 1999 the Company's sub-prime mortgage
portfolio experienced both continued seasoning and growth and, as such, an
increase in the provision for losses. Management considers the allowance for
loan losses adequate based on the portfolio's size, seasoning and current
delinquency statistics.

The increase in other operating income is primarily attributable to an increase
in prepayment penalty income from $200 thousand for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 to over $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Prepayment penalty income is increasing because a larger portion of the
Company's portfolio now contain a prepayment penalty clause.

The Company continued to experience high levels of prepayments and associated
premium amortization in the six months ended June 30, 1999. The annualized
mortgage principal prepayment rate for the Company was approximately 35.3% for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with approximately 29.9% for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, premium
amortization was $7.7 million (included in interest expense), while prepayment
penalty income was $1.5 million. Many of the intermediate adjustable rate
mortgages have reached their first adjustment resulting in possible refinancing,
principal prepayments and, to a lesser extent, prepayment penalty income. The
Company anticipates that prepayment rates will continue at high levels for an
indefinite period. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
achieve or maintain lower prepayment rates or that prepayment rates will not
increase. The Company's financial condition and results of operations could be
materially adversely affected if prepayments continue at high levels. See
"Business Risks - Continued High Levels of Mortgage Asset Prepayments Will
Reduce Operating Income."

Other expenses increased approximately 71.6%, from $2.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The increase in other expenses is due primarily to an increase in hedging
expense of $1.2 million for floor agreements. The Company has entered into
certain hedging transactions which help insulate the Company's borrowing cost
against the effect of rising rates. However, to reduce the cost of these hedges
the Company has also sold "floors" which positions the Company to give up some
of the benefits of falling rates. So, as interest expense was lower in the six
months ending June 30, 1999 because of lower cost of funds, the Company paid for
its floor agreements.

The Company held Mortgage Assets of approximately $1 billion as of June 30, 1999
compared to approximately $952.7 million as of June 30, 1998. Mortgage Assets at
June 30, 1999 are comprised of Mortgage Securities available-for-sale, net of
$3.4 million, Mortgage Loans held-for-investment, net pledged, of $434.7
million, Bond Collateral of $558.9 million and Retained Interest in
Securitization of $9.5 million. Mortgage Assets at June 30, 1998 were comprised
of Mortgage Securities available for sale, net of $ 303.0 million and Mortgage
Loans held-for-investment, net pledged, of $145.8 million, Bond Collateral of
$497.3 million and Retained Interest in Securitization of $6.6 million. As of
December 31, 1998, the Company held Mortgage Assets with a carrying value of
approximately $612.2 million; comprised of Mortgage Securities
available-for-sale, net of $6.6 million and Mortgage Loans held-for-investment,
net pledged of $179.0 million, Bond Collateral of $417.8 million and Retained
Interest in Securitization of $8.8 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash provided by operating
activities was approximately $8.4 million. The difference between net cash
provided by operating activities and the net income of approximately $3.6
million was primarily the result of amortization of mortgage asset premiums and
provisions for loan losses. Both amortization of mortgage asset premiums and
provisions for loan losses are non-cash charges. The primary uses of cash that
lowered amounts not available to fund operations included an increase in accrued
interest receivable and deposits to the over-collateralization account.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
approximately $405.1 million and was made up of Mortgage Loans purchased of
approximately $514.1 million offset by principal prepayments of Mortgage Assets
of approximately $106.8 million and proceeds from the sale of real estate owned
of approximately $2.2 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash provided by financing
activities was approximately $375.0 million. Net cash provided by financing
activities was primarily the result of an increase in net borrowings from
reverse repurchase agreements of approximately $243.2 million and the issuance
of CMO 1999-1 Bonds of approximately $229.0 million offset by payments on the
CMO 1999-1 and CMO/FASIT 1998-1 bonds of approximately $92.7 million.


YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer systems,
software, and devices with embedded technology that are date-sensitive may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in systems failures, miscalculations or disruptions in operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or
engage in similar normal business activities. The Company continues to assess
how it may be impacted by the Year 2000 issue.

Based on the Company's recent assessment of its internal computer systems
(including related hardware, software, customized applications and network
systems) with respect to the Year 2000 issue, the Company determined that its
existing network and operating systems are Year 2000 compliant, with minor
issues. The Company has hired an external systems consultant to rectify these
minor issues. The Company believes that these measures, the actual and estimated
costs of which have been and are expected to continue to be immaterial in the
aggregate, will enable its internal computer systems to be Year 2000 compliant.

The Company is also reviewing the efforts of its significant hardware, software,
and service providers to become Year 2000 compliant. The Company has contacted
all critical entities with which the Company does business to assess their Year
2000 readiness. As of June 30, 1999 all of these entities have responded to the
Company's inquiries. The Company is in the process of reviewing the written
responses to the inquiries, and is assessing the impact that the Year 2000
readiness status of such entities may have on the Company's operations, and is
taking whatever action is deemed necessary. Based on the responses received to
date, there has been no indication that the respondents have any material
concerns related to their ability to address all of their known significant Year
2000 issues on a timely basis. The Company anticipates that these review
activities will be on-going for the remainder of 1999 and will include any
necessary follow-up efforts. The Company, however, cannot presently estimate the
total cost of this phase of its Year 2000 readiness program. Although the review
of such entities is continuing, the Company is not aware of any third party
circumstances with respect to the Year 2000 issue that may have a material
adverse impact on the Company. The Company can provide no assurance that the
Year 2000 compliance plans of such third parties will be successfully completed
in a timely manner.

Based on the results to date of the Company's internal assessment and external
inquiries, the Company does not believe that the Year 2000 issue will pose
significant operational problems for the Company or otherwise have a material
adverse effect on its results of operation or financial position. Although


                                       15

<PAGE>   18

management believes it has undertaken a careful and thorough analysis, if all
Year 2000 issues are not properly identified, or assessment, remediation and
testing efforts are not completed in a timely manner with respect to the
problems that are identified, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issue
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations
or adversely affect the Company's relationship with hardware, software, and
service providers. Further, management believes it has undertaken a careful
survey of third party entities and does not believe there to be material concern
based upon the potential third party risks that have been identified; however,
there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issues of the other entities will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's systems or results of
operations.


BUSINESS RISKS

SUDDEN INTEREST RATE INCREASES MAY REDUCE INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Substantially all of the Company's Mortgage Assets have a repricing frequency of
two years or less, while a majority of the Company's borrowings have a repricing
frequency of six months or less. Accordingly, the interest rates on the
Company's borrowings may be based on interest rate indices which are different
from, and adjust more rapidly than, the interest rate indices of its related
Mortgage Assets. Consequently, changes in interest rates may significantly
influence the Company's net interest income. While increases in interest rates
will generally increase the yields on the Company's adjustable-rate Mortgage
Assets, rising rates will also increase the cost of borrowings by the Company.
To the extent such costs rise more rapidly than the yields on such Mortgage
Assets, the Company's net interest income will be reduced or a net interest loss
may result. The Company mitigates its `gap' risk by purchasing interest rate
hedges (referred to as `caps'), however potential income from these hedges may
only partially offset the adverse impact of rising borrowing costs.

Adjustable-rate Mortgage Assets are typically subject to periodic and lifetime
interest rate caps which limit the amount an adjustable-rate Mortgage Asset
interest rate can change during any given period. The Company's borrowings will
not be subject to similar restrictions. Hence, in a period where interest rates
on the Company's borrowings increase significantly the yields on the Company's
Mortgage Assets could be limited. Further, some adjustable-rate Mortgage Assets
may be subject to periodic payment caps that result in some portion of the
interest being deferred and added to the principal outstanding. This could
result in receipt by the Company of a lesser amount of cash inflows on its
adjustable-rate Mortgage Assets than is required to pay interest on the related
borrowings, which will not have such payment caps. These factors could lower the
Company's net interest income or cause a net interest loss during periods of
rising interest rates, which would negatively impact the Company's financial
condition and results of operations.

CONTINUED HIGH LEVELS OF MORTGAGE ASSET PREPAYMENTS WILL REDUCE OPERATING INCOME

Prepayments of Mortgage Assets could continue to adversely affect the Company's
results of operations in several ways. The Company anticipates that a portion of
the adjustable-rate Mortgage Assets to be acquired by the Company may bear
initial "teaser" interest rates which are lower than their "fully-indexed" rates
(the applicable index plus a margin). In the event that such an adjustable-rate
Mortgage Asset is prepaid prior to or soon after the time of adjustment to a
fully-indexed rate, the Company will have held the Mortgage Asset during its
least profitable period and lost the opportunity to receive interest at the
fully-indexed rate over the expected life of the adjustable-rate Mortgage Asset.
In addition, the prepayment of any Mortgage Asset that had been purchased with a
premium by the Company would result in the immediate write-off of any remaining
capitalized premium amount and consequent reduction of the Company's net
interest income by such amount. Finally, in the event that the Company is unable
to acquire new Mortgage Assets to replace the prepaid Mortgage Assets, the
Company's financial condition and results of operations could be materially
adversely affected.

Mortgage Asset prepayment rates generally increase when new Mortgage Loan
interest rates fall below the interest rates on the adjustable-rate Mortgage
Assets. Prepayment experience also may be affected by the geographic location of
the property securing the adjustable-rate Mortgage Loans, the assumability of an

                                       16

adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan, the ability of the borrower to obtain a more
favorable Mortgage Loan, conditions in the housing and financial markets and
general economic conditions. The level of prepayments is also subject to the
same seasonal influences as the residential real estate industry with prepayment
rates generally being highest in the summer months and lowest in the winter
months. The Company has experienced high levels of prepayments during 1997,
1998, and the period ended June 30, 1999 and the Company anticipates that
prepayment rates are likely to continue at high levels for an indefinite period.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain
lower prepayment rates. Accordingly, the Company's financial condition and
results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The majority of Mortgage Loans acquired by the Company contain provisions
restricting prepayments of such Mortgage Loans and require a charge in
connection with the prepayment thereof. Such prepayment restrictions can, but do
not necessarily, provide a deterrent to prepayments. Prepayment charges may be
in an amount which is less than the figure which would fully compensate the
Company for its remaining capitalized premiums, and prepayment penalty
provisions may expire before the prepayment occurs.

BORROWER CREDIT MAY DECREASE VALUE OF MORTGAGE LOANS

During the time the Company holds Mortgage Loans, it is subject to credit risks,
including risks of borrower defaults, bankruptcies and special hazard losses
that are not covered by standard hazard insurance (such as those occurring from
earthquakes or floods). In the event of a default on any Mortgage Loan held by
the Company, the Company will bear the risk of loss of principal to the extent
of any deficiency between the value of the secured property and the amount owing
on the Mortgage Loan, less any payments from an insurer or guarantor. Defaulted
Mortgage Loans will also cease to be eligible collateral for reverse repurchase
borrowings, and will have to be financed by the Company from other funds until
ultimately liquidated. Although the Company has established an allowance for
Mortgage Loan losses in an amount adequate to cover these risks, in view of its
limited operating history and lack of experience with the Company's current
Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Loans that it may acquire, there can be no assurance
that any allowance for Mortgage Loan losses which is established will be
sufficient to offset losses on Mortgage Loans in the future.

Credit risks associated with non-conforming Mortgage Loans, especially sub-prime
Mortgage Loans, may be greater than those associated with Mortgage Loans that
conform to FNMA and FHLMC guidelines. The principal difference between
non-conforming Mortgage Loans and conforming Mortgage Loans include, the credit
and income histories of the mortgagors, the applicable loan-to-value ratios, the
documentation required for approval of the mortgagors, the types of properties
securing the Mortgage Loans, loan sizes and the mortgagors' occupancy status
with respect to the mortgaged property. As a result of these and other factors,
the interest rates charged on non-conforming Mortgage Loans are often higher
than those charged for conforming Mortgage Loans. The combination of different
underwriting criteria and higher rates of interest may lead to higher
delinquency rates and/or credit losses for non-conforming as compared to
conforming Mortgage Loans and could have an adverse effect on the Company to the
extent that the Company invests in such Mortgage Loans or securities secured by
such Mortgage Loans. A substantial portion of the Company's Mortgage Assets at
June 30, 1999 consist of sub-prime Mortgage Loans.

Even assuming that properties secured by the Mortgage Loans held by the Company
provide adequate security for such Mortgage Loans, substantial delays could be
encountered in connection with the foreclosure of defaulted Mortgage Loans, with
corresponding delays in the receipt of related proceeds by the Company. State
and local statutes and rules may delay or prevent the Company's foreclosure on
or sale of the mortgaged property and may prevent the Company from receiving net
proceeds sufficient to repay all amounts due on the related Mortgage Loan. In
addition, the Company's servicing agent may be entitled to receive all expenses
reasonably incurred in attempting to recover amounts due and not yet repaid on
liquidated Mortgage Loans, thereby reducing amounts available to the Company.
Some properties which will collateralize the Company's Mortgage Loans may have
unique characteristics or may be subject to seasonal factors which could
materially prolong the time period required to resell such properties.

REAL ESTATE MARKET CONDITIONS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's business may be adversely affected by periods of economic slowdown
or recession which may be accompanied by declining real estate values. Any
material decline in real estate values reduces the ability of borrowers to use
home equity to support borrowings and increases the loan-to-value ratios of
Mortgage Loans previously made, thereby weakening collateral coverage and
increasing the possibility of a loss in the event of default. In addition,
delinquencies, foreclosures and losses generally increase during economic
slowdowns and recessions.

ACCUMULATION RISK ASSOCIATED WITH MORTGAGE LOANS HELD-FOR-INVESTMENT

At various points in time, the Company purchases and holds mortgage loans which
are partially financed by short-term reverse repurchase agreements. Typically
mortgages are accumulated for one to six months and then securitized and
transformed into Bond Collateral. During the accumulation period the loans are
financed with short-term reverse repurchase agreements. Although the reverse
repurchase agreements are committed, lenders have the right to mark the mortgage
collateral to market. During turbulent market conditions the market value of
these loans may be adversely impacted. In the event the Company requires
additional cash as a result of a margin call pursuant to its financing
agreements, the Company may be required to liquidate Mortgage Loans
Held-for-Investment on unfavorable terms.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

         The Company is exposed to a variety of risks including changes in
         interest rates which offset the return of its investments and the cost
         of its debt. At June 30, 1999 there have not been any material changes
         in market risk as reported by the Company in its Annual Report on Form
         10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
