Criminal and Securities Proceedings

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
         During the last five years, no Reporting Person has been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or
was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting
or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities law or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         In connection with and in consideration of the formation of CFI
Mortgage Corporation ("CFI Mortgage") (which is currently a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company), CFI Mortgage issued, in equal shares, an aggregate
of 2,500 shares of common stock to Vincent J. Castoro, Christopher C. Castoro
and Robert Castoro, all of whom were founders of CFI Mortgage. Robert Castoro is
the brother of Vincent J. and Christopher C. Castoro. In June 1992 CFI Mortgage
issued 5,000 shares of common stock to Vincent C. Castoro, the father of the
Castoro brothers, in exchange for 40% of the capital stock of 430 Carroll
Street, Inc. ("Carroll Street"), a New York corporation whose principal asset is
a building in Brooklyn, New York. The basis for such 40% interest was $280,000.
The remaining 60% of the equity interest in Carroll Street is owned by Vincent
C. Castoro. In connection with the transfer to CFI Mortgage of the interest in
Carroll Street, Mr. Castoro's sons transferred to their father an aggregate of
250 shares of common stock, with the result that Vincent C. Castoro owned 5,250
shares of common stock of CFI Mortgage. Robert Castoro gave his remaining 750
shares to his father when he resigned from CFI Mortgage in 1993. Thereafter, on
March 1, 1993, Vincent C. Castoro gave 3,000 shares of CFI Mortgage common stock
to each of Vincent J. Castoro and Christopher C. Castoro. In March 1997 the
Company was incorporated in Delaware, and immediately prior to the Company's May
1997 initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") Vincent J. Castoro
and Christopher C. Castoro contributed their 7,500 shares of common stock of CFI
Mortgage to the Company in exchange for 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Company.
