1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

GENERAL

Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Maryland on June 10,
1997. In April 1998 Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. acquired 100% of the
common stock of Hanover Capital SPC, Inc. Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings,
Inc. is a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), formed to operate as a
specialty finance company. The principal business strategy of Hanover Capital
Mortgage Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hanover Capital SPC,
Inc. (together referred to as the "Company") is to (i) acquire primarily
single-family mortgage loans that are at least twelve months old or that were
intended to be of certain credit quality but that do not meet the originally
intended market parameters due to errors or credit deterioration, (ii)
securitize the mortgage loans and retain interests therein, (iii) originate,
hold, sell and service multifamily loans and commercial loans and (iv) acquire
multifamily loans. The Company's principal business objective is to generate
increasing earnings and dividends for distribution to its stockholders. The
Company acquires single-family mortgage loans through a network of sales
representatives targeting financial institutions throughout the United States.
The Company may also acquire multifamily mortgage loans from a taxable
subsidiary of the Company.

Hanover Capital SPC, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was
incorporated in Delaware on April 7, 1998 for the sole purpose of issuing
mortgage notes through a private placement (REMIC) offering.

CAPITALIZATION

In September 1997, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $79 million
in its initial public offering (the "IPO"). In the IPO, the Company sold
5,750,000 units (each unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value
$.01 and one stock warrant) at $15.00 per unit including 750,000 units sold
pursuant to the underwriters' overallotment option, which was exercised in full.
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at the
original issue price - $15.00. The warrants became exercisable on March 19, 1998
and expire on September 15, 2000. The Company utilized substantially all of the
net proceeds of the IPO to fund leveraged purchases of mortgage loans.

In connection with the closing of the IPO the Company acquired a 97% ownership
interest (representing a 100% ownership of the non-voting preferred stock) in
Hanover Capital Partners Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Hanover Capital
Mortgage Corporation and Hanover Capital Securities, Inc., in exchange for
716,667 shares of the Company's common stock. Hanover Capital Partners Ltd.
("HCP") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, offer due diligence services to
buyers, sellers and holders of mortgage loans and originate, sell and service
multifamily mortgage loans and commercial loans.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hanover
Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hanover Capital
SPC, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the management of the Company in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and in conformity with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer
to the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Form
10-K for the period from June 10, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997.

METHOD OF ACCOUNTING

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on
the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
and intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code") with respect thereto. Accordingly, the Company will not
be subject to Federal income tax to the extent of its distributions to
stockholders as long as certain asset, income and stock ownership tests are met.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

In 1997 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
"Earnings per Share"("SFAS 128"). Under SFAS 128 basic earnings per share
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock that then shared in earnings. Shares
issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period are weighted
for the period they were outstanding.

3.   MORTGAGE LOANS

The Company's policy is to classify each of its mortgage loans as held for sale
as they are purchased and each asset is monitored for a period of time,
generally four to nine months, prior to making a determination as to whether the
asset will be classified as held to maturity. At September 30, 1998 management
has made the determination that $628,332,000 of mortgage loans are held for
sale, $72,559,000 of mortgage loans are being held to maturity and, $90,020,000
of mortgage loans are held as collateral for mortgage backed bonds. All mortgage
loans designated as held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market,
with unrealized losses reported as a charge to earnings in the current period.
All mortgage loans held to maturity are reported at cost.

Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of mortgage loans are
amortized into interest income over the lives of the mortgage loans using the
effective yield method adjusted for the effects of estimated prepayments.
Mortgage loan transactions are recorded on the date the mortgage loans are
purchased or sold. Purchases of new mortgage loans are recorded when all
significant uncertainties regarding the characteristics of the mortgage loans
are removed, generally on or shortly before settlement date.
Realized gains and losses on mortgage loan transactions are determined on the
specific identification basis.

4.   COLLATERAL FOR MORTGAGE BACKED BONDS

In April 1998 the Company issued its first REMIC (real estate mortgage
investment conduit) security. $102,976,872 of single family fixed rate
residential loans were assigned as collateral for the Company's mortgage backed
bond (REMIC) security. The Company has limited exposure to credit risk retained
on loans it has securitized through the issuance of collateralized bonds. All
mortgage loans held as collateral for mortgage backed bonds are reported at
cost.

Premiums, discounts and all deferred hedging costs associated with the mortgage
loans held as collateral for mortgage backed bonds are amortized into interest
income over the lives of the mortgage loans using the effective yield method
adjusted for the effects of prepayments.

5.   MORTGAGE SECURITIES

The Company's policy is to classify its mortgage securities as
available-for-sale as they are acquired and each asset is monitored for a period
of time, generally three to six months, prior to making a determination whether
the asset will be classified as held-to-maturity. All mortgage securities
designated as available-for-sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.

Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of mortgage securities are
amortized into interest income over the lives of the securities using the
effective yield method adjusted for the effects of estimated prepayments.
Mortgage securities transactions are recorded on the date the mortgage
securities are purchased or sold. Purchases of new issue mortgage securities are
recorded when all significant uncertainties regarding the characteristics of the
securities are removed, generally on or shortly before settlement date. Realized
gains and losses on mortgage securities transactions are determined on the
specific identification basis.

HCP and its subsidiaries operate as a specialty finance company which is
principally engaged in performing due diligence, mortgage and investment banking
services. A wholly-owned subsidiary of HCP, Hanover Capital Mortgage Corporation
("HCMC"), is an originator and servicer of multifamily mortgage loans. Another
wholly-owned subsidiary of HCP, Hanover Capital Securities, Inc. ("HCS") is a
registered broker/dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On September 30, 1998 HCP expanded its traditional areas of business to purchase
a fixed and adjustable rate mortgage pool for $103.8 million including accrued
interest. This purchase was funded by an advance from the Company of $7.3
million and reverse repurchase financing of approximately $96.5 million.

HCP's policy is to classify each of its mortgage loans as held as for sale as
they are purchased and each asset is monitored for a period of time, generally
four to nine months, prior to making a determination as to whether the asset
will be classified as held to maturity. At September 30, 1998 all of the
mortgage loans were classified as held for sale, loans designated as held for
sale are reported at the lower of cost or market, with unrealized losses
reported as a charge to earnings in the current period. Premiums and discounts
associated with the purchase of mortgage loans are amortized into interest
income over the lives of the mortgage loans using the effective yield method
adjusted for the effects of estimated prepayments. Reverse repurchase agreements
are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and recorded at their
contractual amounts.

At September 30, 1998 HCP had a total of $200 million of uncommitted mortgage
loan reverse repurchase agreement financing available pursuant to a master
repurchase agreement. At September 30, 1998 HCP had outstanding borrowings of
$96,507,000 under the above mentioned reverse repurchase agreement with a
borrowing rate of 6.075% and a maturity of less than one month. The reverse
repurchase agreement was collateralized by mortgage loans with a cost basis of
$103,010,000 (which approximates market value).

7.   REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Reverse repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing
transactions and recorded at their contractual amounts.

At September 30, 1998 the Company had a total of $707 million of uncommitted
mortgage loan reverse repurchase agreement financing available pursuant to
master repurchase agreements with three lenders. At September 30, 1998 the
Company had outstanding borrowings of $659,319,000 under the above mentioned
reverse repurchase agreements with a borrowing rate of 6.333% for the third
quarter of 1998 and a maturity of less than two months. The reverse repurchase
agreements at September 30, 1998 were collateralized by mortgage loans with a
cost basis of $700,473,000 (which approximates market value).

The Company also uses its reverse repurchase agreement financing to finance a
portion of the collateral for mortgage backed bonds. At September 30, 1998, the
Company had outstanding borrowings of $294,000 with a weighted average borrowing
rate of 6.145% for the third quarter of 1998 and a weighted average remaining
maturity of less than one month.

At September 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding mortgage securities reverse
repurchase agreement financing of $221,602,000 with a weighted average borrowing
rate of 5.701% for the third quarter of 1998 and a weighted average remaining
maturity of less than one month.

In connection with the original formation transactions in September 1997, the
Company agreed to lend a maximum of $1,750,000 collectively, to four
officer/stockholders (collectively referred to as the "Principals") to enable
the Principals to pay personal income taxes on the gains they must recognize
upon contributing their HCP preferred stock to the Company for shares of the
Company's common stock. The loans are secured solely by 116,667 shares of the
Company's common stock owned by the Principals, collectively. The loans bear
interest at the lowest applicable federal tax rate during the month the loans
are made. At September 30, 1998 the Company had loaned the Principals the full
$1,750,000. The loans bear interest at 6.02% ($482,600 of loans) and 5.70%
($1,267,400 of loans).

In March 1998 the Company agreed to lend up to an additional $1,500,000 in
unsecured loans to the Principals, in lieu of incurring the costs and expenses
associated with the registration of 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock
owned by the Principals. The Company loaned the Principals an additional
$1,203,880 in April 1998. The additional loans are due and payable on March 31,
1999 and bear interest at 5.51%.

During 1998 the Company advanced funds to HCP pursuant to an unsecured loan
agreement. The loans to HCP bear interest at 1.00% below the prime rate. At
September 30, 1998 the loans outstanding to HCP totaled $7,312,472. The Company
agreed to lend $7,312,472 to HCP on September 30, 1998 in order for HCP to
purchase a $103 million fixed and adjustable rate mortgage pool.

In September 1998 the Company made a capital contribution of $2,700,000
to HCP. A prorata capital contribution was made by the shareholders owning 
common stock, maintaining the 97% - 3% ownership relationship.

9.   TREASURY STOCK

Pursuant to a stock repurchase program that began in July 1998, the Company
repurchased a total of 143,900 shares of its common stock in August and
September.

10.  ADOPTION OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
No.130"). Effective January 1, 1998 the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, which
established disclosure standards for reporting comprehensive income in a full
set of general purpose financial statements. The comprehensive loss for the
three months and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $1,730,000, and
$2,573,000 which included an unrealized loss on investments available for sale
of $2,076,000 and $3,523,000, respectively.

11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 16, 1998 a $0.17 cash dividend previously declared by the Board of
Directors was paid to stockholders of record as of September 30, 1998.

During October 1998 the Company sold all of its adjustable rate mortgage
securities and the majority of its fixed rate mortgage securities for a loss of
approximately $6.9 million.

During October 1998 the Company swapped approximately $ 54 million of mortgage
loan assets for FNMA mortgage securities. These mortgage securities were
subsequently sold at a gain in excess of $500,000.

On October 30, 1998 the Company contributed certain fixed rate mortgage loans
($317 million) and the related reverse repurchase agreement financing ($308
million) to Hanover Capital Partners 2, Inc. in exchange for a 100% preferred
equity interest in Hanover Capital Partners 2, Inc. A wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hanover Capital Partners, 2, Inc. issued a REMIC security with the mortgage
loans as collateral for the security. The AAA rated bonds were sold to a third
party and the Company retained all of the junior bonds relating to this
security. At October 30, 1998, the carrying value of the junior bonds 
classified as available for sale would require a market value allowance of 
approximately $2.5 million.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
          Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Maryland on June 10,
1997. In April 1998, Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. acquired 100% of
the common stock of Hanover Capital SPC, Inc. Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings,
Inc. is a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), formed to operate as a
specialty finance company. The principal business strategy of Hanover Capital
Mortgage Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hanover Capital SPC,
Inc. (together referred to as the "Company") is to (i) acquire primarily
single-family mortgage loans that are at least twelve months old or that were
intended to be of certain credit quality but that do not meet the originally
intended market parameters due to errors or credit deterioration, (ii)
securitize the mortgage loans and retain interests therein, (iii) originate,
hold, sell and service multifamily loans and commercial loans and (iv) acquire
multifamily loans. The Company's principal business objective is to generate
increasing earnings and dividends for distribution to its stockholders. The
Company acquires single-family mortgage loans through a network of sales
representatives targeting financial institutions throughout the United States.
The Company may also acquire multifamily mortgage loans through a taxable
subsidiary of the Company.

The Company's principal source of earnings is net interest income generated by
the Company's investment portfolio. As of September 30, 1998 the Company's
investment portfolio consisted of single-family mortgage loans held for sale,
single-family mortgage loans held to maturity, collateral for mortgage backed
bonds, and mortgage securities available for sale. The Company funds its
portfolio investments with both borrowings and cash raised from the issuance of
equity. For the portion of the portfolio investments funded with borrowings, the
Company generates net interest income to the extent that there is a positive
spread between the yield on the interest-earning assets and the cost of borrowed
funds. In addition the Company earns net interest income from the yield
generated by the portion of the investment portfolio that is funded solely with
equity. The cost of the Company's borrowings may increase or decrease through
the use of interest rate swaps, caps or floor agreements.

The Company's generation of net income is dependent upon (i) the spread between
interest earned on its investment portfolio and the cost of borrowed funds to
finance the investment portfolio; and (ii) the aggregate amount of the
investment portfolio on the Company's balance sheet. The Company strives to
create a diversified portfolio of investments that in the aggregate generates
increasing net income in a variety of interest rate and prepayment rate
environments and preserves the equity base of the Company. The Company's primary
strategy for its mortgage loan investment portfolio entails (1) efficient
acquisition pricing of mortgage loans, (2) financing in the short term by
reverse repurchase agreements or lines of credit, (3) hedging in the short term
to offset potential adverse effects of changes in interest rates, (4)
stratifying and segregating mortgage loans in securitizations to replace short
term financing with collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO), real estate
mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) or other types of long term debt financing,
thereby eliminating the majority of refinancing and interest rate risk and (5)
retaining certain residual interests of the securitization resulting in
increased yields .

The Company's operating strategy for its mortgage securities investment entails
(1) the efficient acquisition of mortgage securities on a temporary basis to
effectively (a) deploy capital and (b) meet certain REIT requirements, (2)
financing through reverse repurchase agreements and (3) identifying the
appropriate times to sell the mortgage securities to optimize the investment
yield to the Company and to free additional capital to fund additional mortgage
loan acquisitions.

</TABLE>


Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1998 totaled
$1,692,000 and net interest income for the nine month period ended September 30,
1998 was $4,625,000. The majority of the net interest income for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1998 was generated by the Company's investment in
mortgage loans. The balance of net interest income was generated from mortgage
securities, collateral for mortgage backed bonds, agency paper investments, cash
collateral on deposit with certain mortgage security lenders, a savings account,
loans to certain Principals and loans to HCP. Management anticipates that the
net interest income generated by mortgage loans will continue to reflect a
substantial percentage of the Company's total net interest income. The Company's
total mortgage loan holdings including mortgages held as collateral for mortgage
backed bonds increased from $160,970,000 at December 31, 1997 to $790,911,000 at
September 30, 1998.

Third quarter net interest income from the Company's mortgage loan portfolio,
including mortgages held as collateral for mortgage backed bonds, was $2,185,000
compared to $1,525,000 in the second quarter; an increase of 43.3%. The
substantial increase in the net interest income resulted from the volume of
mortgage pool acquisitions in late June through September. These acquisitions,
offset by normal principal reductions and prepayments, resulted in an increase
in the average balance of mortgage loans held from $370.81 million in the second
quarter to $566.46 million in the third quarter.

The third quarter net interest income continued to be negatively impacted by
high prepayment speeds on the Company's mortgage securities portfolio. The
Company reflected premium amortization of $1,519,000 in the third quarter of
1998 as compared to $2,148,000 and $903,000 in the second quarter and first
quarter of 1998, respectively. The premium amortization is recorded as an
adjustment to interest income and accordingly reduces the net interest income on
the Company's mortgage securities portfolio.

The Company's net income was again detrimentally impacted by the losses
generated by its equity investment in HCP. A net loss of $288,000 from HCP was
recorded by the Company in the third quarter of 1998 compared to losses of
$294,000 and $6,000 in the second quarter and first quarter of 1998,
respectively.

The following table reflects the average balances for the Company's investment
portfolio as well as the Company's interest bearing liabilities with the
corresponding effective rates of interest annualized for the period July 1, 1998
through September 30, 1998 (dollars in thousands):

(2)  Loan loss provisions are excluded in the above calculations.
(3)  Yield on Net Interest Earning Assets is computed by dividing the applicable
     net interest income by the average daily balance of Net Interest Earning
     Assets.

The effective rate for interest earning assets has been adjusted to reflect
amortization of premiums paid or discounts received on the acquisition of
mortgage loans and mortgage securities. By engaging HCP to perform due diligence
on mortgage loans the Company acquires, management believes that premium amounts
paid for the purchase of mortgage loans are less than if they were acquired in
the market. Net unamortized premiums on the Company's mortgage loans (including
both mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage loans held to maturity),
collateral for mortgage backed bonds and mortgage securities were $7,712,000,
$983,000 and $8,166,000 at September 30, 1998 or approximately 1.12%, 1.11% and
3.63% of the respective par value investments in total mortgage loans,
collateral for mortgage backed bonds and mortgage securities.

The Company's largest expense is the interest cost on borrowed funds. The
majority of funds to finance the investment portfolio in the third quarter of
1998 were borrowed in the form of reverse repurchase agreements, which is
indexed to LIBOR. The Company also used interest rate caps to manage its
interest rate risk and may also in the future use interest rate swaps and
financial futures. The net cost of those instruments is included in the cost of
funds as a component of interest expense for the period to which it relates.

At September 30, 1998 the Company's mortgage loan investment portfolio comprised
75.4% of total assets in the following types of single family mortgage loans
(dollars in thousands, except average loan size):

General and administrative expenses (G &A expenses) totaled $928,000 for the
third quarter of 1998. G & A expenses consist substantially of expenses relating
to the acquisition of and management of the Company's investment portfolio, as
well as various other corporate expenses. Most of the G & A expenses are likely
to remain relatively stable on a quarterly basis with the possible exception of
the following: (1) due diligence, (2) commissions and (3) legal and
professional. The due diligence expenses will vary based upon various factors,
including but not limited to the number of loans purchased, complexity of
documentation problems encountered, type of mortgage loans, ease of converting
data to the Company's proprietary software system, geographic location, and
creditworthiness of the borrower. Commission expense is also directly related to
mortgage loans acquired. Commissions are paid on all mortgage loan acquisitions
initiated by HCP's sales representatives. However, certain mortgage loan
acquisitions are also initiated by the Principals. No commission expense is
recorded when the mortgage loan acquisitions are originated by the Principals.
Legal and professional fees will also vary based on the usage of various
professional firms from time to time.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company expects to meet its short-term and long-term liquidity requirements
generally from its existing working capital, cash flow provided by operations,
reverse repurchase agreements, and other possible sources of financing,
including CMO's and REMICs, additional equity generated by the exercise of some
or all of the Company's outstanding stock warrants and additional equity
offerings. The Company considers its ability to generate cash to be adequate to
meet operating requirements both in the short-term and long-term. However, if a
significant decline in the market value of the Company's investment portfolio
should occur, the Company's available liquidity from these other borrowings may
be reduced. As a result of such a reduction in liquidity, the Company may be
forced to sell certain investments in order to maintain liquidity. If required,
these sales could be made at prices lower than the carrying value of such
assets, which could result in losses.

Net cash used in operations for the first nine months of 1998 was $931,000.
Actual cash proceeds generated from net income adjusted for non cash items
($7,379,000) and net changes in operating assets and liabilities ($1,474,000)
were offset by loans to related parties ($9,784,000). Loans to Principals
totaled $2,472,000 and loans to HCP totaled $7,312,000. The Company advanced
$7,312,000 to HCP on September 30, 1998 to assist HCP in the purchase of a $103
million fixed and adjustable rate single-family mortgage loan pool.


                                       21

<PAGE>   22


Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $519,681,000 during the period
January 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998. The majority of the cash used in
investing activities related to the purchase of assets for the Company's
investment portfolio ($866,673,000). Mortgage loans were purchased at an average
price of 101.26% of par. Offsetting the cash outlay for purchases of mortgage
assets were receipts of principal proceeds from the investment portfolio
totaling $331,207,000 during the first nine months of 1998.

Cash flows from financing activities generated $523,635,000 for the period
January 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998. The cash flows from financing
activities resulted from net borrowings on reverse repurchase agreements
($446,077,000), net borrowings on the mortgage backed bonds ($85,330,000), net
proceeds from the exercise of 2,122 warrants ($3,000) reduced by dividends paid
($3,751,000), an additional capital contribution to HCP ($2,700,000) and
treasury stock purchases ($1,324,000).

Management expects that the purchase of single-family loan pools will
significantly slow in the fourth quarter of 1998 as the Company focuses on
certain securitization transactions and liquidity issues. Such issues reflect
the extraordinarily adverse conditions in the mortgage securities markets which
arose suddenly in early October, leading to the need to increase the Company's
liquidity and decrease its leverage. Accordingly, on October 15, 1998 the
Company announced a plan to maximize liquidity through the sale of securities,
securitization of whole loans, increased credit facilities and conversion and
possible sale of whole loans into FNMA securities. 

An unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company securitized approximately $317
million of fixed rate mortgage loans on October 30,1998 that the Company
contributed net of the respective reverse repurchase financing to the affiliate.
The AAA rated bonds were sold to a third party and the Company retained all of
the junior bonds relating to this security. At October 30, 1998, the carrying
value of the junior bonds classified as available for sale would require a
market value allowance of approximately $2.5 million. The Company also sold
substantially all of its mortgage securities during October. The sale of
mortgage securities resulted in losses in excess of $6 million. At the same time
the sale freed up in excess of $2.2 million in capital that had previously been
invested in such mortgage securities. In addition, the Company swapped
approximately $54 million of mortgage loan assets for FNMA mortgage securities.
These mortgage securities were also sold in October. This transaction also
increased the Company's liquidity.

OTHER MATTERS

The Company calculated its Qualified REIT Assets at September 30, 1998, as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), to be 97.1% of the value of its
total assets, as compared to the federal tax requirement that at least 75.0% of
the value of its total assets must be Qualified REIT Assets. The Company also
estimates that 97.0% of its 1998 revenue will qualify for the 75.0% source of
income test and 99.0% of its revenue will qualify for the 95.0% source of income
test under the REIT rules.

The Company believes that it was in full compliance with the REIT tax rules as
of September 30, 1998 and intends to remain in compliance with all REIT tax
rules and to continue to qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Code.

The Company at all times intends to conduct its business so as not to become
regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If the
Company were to become regulated as an investment company, then the Company's
use of leverage would be substantially reduced. The Investment Company Act
exempts entities that are "primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or
otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on interests in real estate"
("Qualifying Interests"). Under current interpretations of the staff of the SEC,
in order to qualify for this exemption, the Company must maintain at least 55%
of its assets directly in Qualifying Interests. As of September 30, 1998, the
Company calculates that it is in compliance with this requirement.

the expected tax treatment of the Company's operations. Such forward-looking
statements relate to future events and the future financial performance of the
Company and the industry and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other important factors which could cause actual results, performance or
achievements of the Company or industry to differ materially from the future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.

Investors should carefully consider the various factors identified in the
preceding section, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the results predicted in the
forward-looking statements. Further, the Company specifically cautions investors
to consider the following important factors in conjunction with the
forward-looking statements: the possible decline in the Company's ability to
locate and acquire mortgage loans; the possible adverse effect of changing
economic conditions, including interest rate movements and changes in the real
estate market both locally and nationally; the effect of severe weather or
natural disasters; the effect of competitive pressures from other financial
institutions, including mortgage REITS; and the possible changes, if any, in the
Code REIT rules. Because of the foregoing factors, the actual results achieved
by the Company in the future may differ materially from the expected results
described in the forward-looking statements.
