                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.       ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Annaly Mortgage Management, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in
Maryland on November 25, 1996. The Company commenced its operations of
purchasing and managing Mortgage-Backed Securities on February 18, 1997, upon
receipt of the net proceeds from the private placement of equity capital. An
initial public offering was completed on October 14, 1997.

         A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying unaudited financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. The interim
financial statements for the three month periods are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations
have been included. These unaudited financials statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The nature of
the Company's business is such that the results of any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand and money market funds. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents
approximate their value.

         MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES - The Company invests primarily in mortgage
pass-through certificates, collateralized mortgage obligations and other
mortgage-backed securities representing interests in or obligations backed by
pools of mortgage loans (collectively, "Mortgage-Backed Securities").

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS 115"), requires the
Company to classify its investments as either trading investments,
available-for-sale investments or held-to-maturity investments. Although the
Company generally intends to hold most of its Mortgage-Backed Securities until
maturity, it may, from time to time, sell any of its Mortgage-Backed Securities
as part of its overall management of its balance sheet. Accordingly, this
flexibility requires the Company to classify all of its Mortgage-Backed
Securities as available-for-sale. All assets classified 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.

         Unrealized losses on Mortgage-Backed Securities that are considered
other than temporary, as measured by the amount of decline in fair value
attributable to factors other than temporary, are recognized in income and the
cost basis of the Mortgage-Backed Securities is adjusted. There were no such
adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and the year ended
December 31, 1999.

         Interest income is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount of
the Mortgage-Backed Securities and their contractual terms. Premiums and
discounts associated with the purchase of the Mortgage-Backed Securities are
amortized into interest income over the lives of the securities using the
effective yield method.

         Mortgage-Backed Securities transactions are recorded on the date the
securities are purchased or sold. Purchases of newly issued securities are
recorded when all significant uncertainties regarding the characteristics of the
securities are removed, generally shortly before settlement date. Realized gains
and losses on Mortgage-Backed Securities transactions are determined on the
specific identification basis.

         CREDIT RISK - At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company has
limited exposure to credit losses on its portfolio of Mortgage-Backed Securities
by only purchasing securities from Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("FHLMC"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), or Government
National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"). The payment of principal and interest on
the FHLMC and FNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities are guaranteed by those respective
agencies and the payment of principal and interest on the GNMA Mortgage-Backed
Securities are backed by the full-faith-and-credit of the U.S. government. At
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, all of the Company's Mortgage-Backed
Securities have a "AAA" rating or an implied a "AAA" rating.



                                       5

<PAGE>

         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 subjected to Federal income tax to the
extent of its distributions to shareholders and as long as certain asset, income
and stock ownership tests are met.

         USE OF ESTIMATES - 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 and disclosure of contingent 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.

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


OVERVIEW

         We are a real estate investment trust that owns and manages a portfolio
of mortgage-backed securities. Our principal business objective is to generate
net income for distribution to our stockholders from the spread between the
interest income on our mortgage-backed securities and the costs of borrowing to
finance our acquisition of mortgage-backed securities.

         We commenced operations on February 18, 1997 upon the consummation of a
private placement. We completed our initial public offering on October 14, 1997.

         The 317-day period ended December 31, 1997 was a short operating period
and not a full twelve months. Also, average assets for the period ended December
31, 1997 totaled $476.9 million, whereas average assets for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 totaled $1.5 billion. As a result, the comparison of net income
for the period ended February 18, 1997 and the quarter ended March 31, 1999 may
show changes that may not be indicative of future periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999

         NET INCOME SUMMARY

         For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, our GAAP net income was $4.8
million, or $.35 basic earnings per average share, as compared to $4.3 million,
or $.34 basic earnings per average share, for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
We compute our GAAP net income per share by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of outstanding common stock during the period, which
was 13,660,539 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 12,657,884 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. Dividends per weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $.35 per share, or $4.9
million in total. Dividends per weighted average number of shares outstanding
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $.33 per share, or $4.2 million in
total. Our return on average equity was 18.28% for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 and 13.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

securities. Our interest income was $24.6 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 and $22.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Our yield on

average earning asset balance decreased by $54.2 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Interest income
increased by $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 over the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, due to the decline in the portfolio CPR. The table below

our mortgage-backed securities or a prediction of the anticipated rate of
prepayment of our mortgage-backed securities.

         Principal prepayments had a negative effect on our earning asset yield
for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 because we adjust our rates of
premium amortization and discount accretion monthly based upon the effective
yield method, which takes into consideration changes in prepayment speeds.

                  Interest Expense and the Cost of Funds

         We anticipate that our largest expense will be the cost of borrowed
funds. We had average borrowed funds of $1.3 billion and total interest expense
of $19.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. We had average borrowed
funds of $1.4 billion and total interest expense of $17.1 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. Our average cost of funds was 5.80% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 4.97% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The
cost of funds rate increased 0.83% and the average borrowed funds declined by
$52 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 when compared to the quarter
ended March 31, 1999; consequently, interest expense increased by 12.5%.

         With our current asset/liability management strategy, changes in our
cost of funds are expected to be closely correlated with changes in short-term
LIBOR, although we may choose to extend the maturity of our liabilities at any
time. Our average cost of funds was 0.12% below one-month LIBOR for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 and 0.01% above average one-month LIBOR for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999. We generally have structured our borrowings to adjust with
one-month LIBOR because we believe that one-month LIBOR may continue to be lower
than six-month LIBOR in the present interest rate environment. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, average one-month LIBOR, was 5.92%, which was
0.40% lower than average six-month LIBOR, which was 6.32%. During the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, average


                                       10

one-month LIBOR, was 4.96%, 0.09% lower than average six-month LIBOR, which was
5.05%.

         The table below shows our average borrowed funds and average cost of
funds as compared to average one-month and average six-month LIBOR for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, the year ended December 31, 1999 and the four
quarters in 1999.

                  NET INTEREST RATE AGREEMENT EXPENSE

         We have not entered into any interest rate agreements to date. As part
of our asset/liability management process, we may enter into interest rate
agreements such as interest rate caps, floors or swaps. These agreements would
be entered into with the intent to reduce interest rate or prepayment risk and
would be designed to provide us income and capital appreciation in the event of
certain changes in interest rates. However, even after entering into these
agreements, we would still be exposed to interest rate and prepayment risks. We
review the need for interest rate agreements on a regular basis consistent with
our capital investment policy.

                  NET INTEREST INCOME

         Our net interest income, which equals interest income less interest
expense, totaled $5.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and $4.9
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Our net interest income increased
because of lower amortization costs for the quarter. Our net interest spread,
which equals the yield on our average assets for the period less the average
cost of funds for the period, was 1.00% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to 0.90% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This 0.10% increase in
spread income is reflected in the $460,000 increase in net interest income. Net
interest margin, which equals net interest income divided by average total
assets, was 1.47% on an annualized basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
and 1.27% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The principal reason that net
interest margin exceeded net interest spread is that average interest earning
assets exceeded average interest bearing liabilities. A portion of our assets is
funded with equity rather than borrowings. We did not have any interest rate
agreement expenses to date.

         The table below shows our interest income by earning asset type,
average earning assets by type, total interest income, interest expense, average
repurchase agreements, average cost of funds, and net interest income for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, the year ended December 31, 1999, and the four
quarters in 1999.

                  GAINS AND LOSSES ON SALES OF MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

         For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, we sold mortgage-backed
securities with an aggregate historical amortized cost of $23.3 million for an
aggregate gain of $106,853. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, we sold
mortgage-backed securities with an aggregate historical amortized cost of $31.7
million for an aggregate gain of $64,560. The difference between the sale price
and the historical amortized cost of our mortgage-backed securities is a
realized gain and increases income accordingly. We do not expect to sell assets
on a frequent basis, but may from time to time sell existing assets to move into
new assets, which our management believes might have higher risk-adjusted
returns, or to manage our balance sheet as part of our asset/liability
management strategy.

                  CREDIT LOSSES

         We have not experienced credit losses on our mortgage-backed securities
to date. We have limited our exposure to credit losses on our mortgage-backed
securities by purchasing only securities, issued or guaranteed by FNMA, FHLMC or
GNMA, which, although not rated, carry an implied "AAA" rating.

                  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         G&A expenses were $582,319 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and
$610,004 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. G&A expenses as a percentage of
average assets was 0.16% and 0.16% for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The Company is internally managed and continues to be a low
cost provider. G&A expenses decreased by $27,685 for March 31, 2000, when
compared to March 31, 1999.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

                  MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

         All of our mortgage-backed securities at March 31, 2000 were
adjustable-rate or fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities backed by single-family
mortgage loans. All of the mortgage assets underlying these mortgage-backed
securities were secured with a first lien position on the underlying
single-family properties. All our mortgage-backed securities were


                                       13
<PAGE>

FHLMC, FNMA or GNMA mortgage pass-through certificates or CMOs, which carry an
implied "AAA" rating. We mark-to-market all of our earning assets at liquidation
value.

         We accrete discount balances as an increase in interest income over the
life of discount mortgage-backed securities and we amortize premium balances as
a decrease in interest income over the life of premium mortgage-backed
securities. At March 31, 2000 and 1999, we had on our balance sheet a total of
$1.2 million and $1.1 million respectively, of unamortized discount (which is
the difference between the remaining principal value and current historical
amortized cost of our mortgage-backed securities acquired at a price below
principal value) and a total of $23.0 million and $27.2 million, respectively,
of unamortized premium (which is the difference between the remaining principal
value and the current historical amortized cost of our mortgage-backed
securities acquired at a price above principal value).

         We received mortgage principal repayments of $31.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 and $125.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1999. Given our current portfolio composition, if mortgage principal prepayment
rates were to increase over the life of our mortgage-backed securities, all
other factors being equal, our net interest income would decrease during the
life of these mortgage-backed securities as we would be required to amortize our
net premium balance into income over a shorter time period. Similarly, if
mortgage principal prepayment rates were to decrease over the life of our
mortgage-backed securities, all other factors being equal, our net interest
income would increase during the life of these mortgage-backed securities as we
would amortize our net premium balance over a longer time period.

         The table below summarizes our mortgage-backed securities at March 31,
2000, December 31, 1999, September 30, 1999, June 30, 1999, and March 31, 1999.

         INTEREST RATE AGREEMENTS

         Interest rate agreements are assets that are carried on a balance sheet
at estimated liquidation value. We have not entered into any interest rate
agreements since our inception.

         BORROWINGS

         To date, our debt has consisted entirely of borrowings collateralized
by a pledge of our mortgage-backed securities. These borrowings appear on our
balance sheet as repurchase agreements. At March 31, 2000, we had established
uncommitted borrowing facilities in this market with twenty-two lenders in
amounts, which we believe, are in excess of our needs. All of our
mortgage-backed securities are currently accepted as collateral for these
borrowings. However, we limit our borrowings, and thus our potential asset
growth, in order to maintain unused borrowing capacity and thus increase the
liquidity and strength of our balance sheet.

         For the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the term to maturity of
our borrowings ranged from one day to 3 months, with a weighted average original
term to maturity of 55 days at March 31, 2000. At March 31, 2000, the weighted
average cost of funds for all of our borrowings was 5.96% and the weighted
average term to next rate adjustment was 31 days. At March 31, 1999, the term to
maturity ranged from one day to one year, with a weighted average original term
of 63 days. The weighted average cost of funds for all of our borrowings was
4.85% and weighted average term to the next adjustment was 13 days.

         LIQUIDITY

         Liquidity, which is our ability to turn non-cash assets into cash,
allows us to purchase additional mortgage-backed securities and to pledge
additional assets to secure existing borrowings should the value of our pledged
assets decline. Potential immediate sources of liquidity for us include cash
balances and unused borrowing capacity. Unused borrowing capacity will vary over
time as the market value of our mortgage-backed securities varies. Our balance
sheet also generates liquidity on an on-going basis through mortgage principal
repayments and net earnings held prior to payment as dividends. Should our needs
ever exceed these on-going sources of liquidity plus the immediate sources of
liquidity discussed above, we believe that our mortgage-backed securities could
in most circumstances be sold to raise cash. The maintenance of liquidity is one
of the goals of our capital investment policy. Under this policy, we limit asset
growth in order to preserve unused borrowing capacity for liquidity management
purposes.

         STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         We use "available-for-sale" treatment for our mortgage-backed
securities; we carry these assets on our balance sheet at estimated market value
rather than historical amortized cost. Based upon this "available-for-sale"
treatment, our equity base at March 31, 2000 was $108.9 million, or $7.84 per
share. If we had used historical amortized cost accounting, our equity base at
March 31, 2000 would have been $143.3 million, or $10.31 per share. Our equity
base at March 31, 1999 was $126.7 million, or $9.97 per share. If we had used
historical amortized cost accounting, our equity base at March 31, 1999 would
have been $132.6 million, or $10.44 per share. During the quarter ended March
31, 2000, the Company raised additional capital in the amount of $2.3 million
through its direct purchase program.

         With our "available-for-sale" accounting treatment, unrealized
fluctuations in market values of assets do not impact our GAAP or taxable income
but rather are reflected on our balance sheet by changing the carrying value of
the asset and stockholders' equity under "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
(Loss)." By accounting for our assets in this manner, we hope to provide useful
information to stockholders and creditors and to preserve flexibility to sell
assets in the future without having to change accounting methods.

         As a result of this mark-to-market accounting treatment, our book value
and book value per share are likely to fluctuate far more than if we used
historical amortized cost accounting. As a result, comparisons with companies
that use historical cost accounting for some or all of their balance sheet may
not be meaningful.

         The table below shows unrealized gains and losses on the
mortgage-backed securities in our portfolio.

Amortized Cost
</TABLE>

         Unrealized changes in the estimated net market value of mortgage-backed
securities have one direct effect on our potential earnings and dividends:
positive market-to-market changes increase our equity base and allow us to
increase our borrowing capacity while negative changes tend to limit borrowing
capacity under our capital investment policy. A very large negative change in
the net market value of our mortgage-backed securities might impair our
liquidity position, requiring us to sell assets with the likely result of
realized losses upon sale. "Unrealized Losses on Available for Sale Securities"
was $34.3 million, or 2.33% of the amortized cost of our mortgage-backed
securities at March 31, 2000. "Unrealized Losses on Available for Sale
Securities" was $6.0 million or 0.39% of the amortized cost of our
mortgage-backed securities at March 31, 1999.

         The table below shows our equity capital base as reported and on a
historical amortized cost basis at March 31, 2000, December 31,1999, September
30, 1999, June 30, 1999 and March 31,1999. Issuances of common stock, the level
of GAAP earnings as compared to dividends declared, and other factors influence

                  LEVERAGE

         Our debt-to-GAAP reported equity ratio at March 31, 2000 and, 1999 was
12:1 and 10:1, respectively. We generally expect to maintain a ratio of
debt-to-equity of between 8:1 and 12:1, although the ratio may vary from this
range from time to time based upon various factors, including our management's
opinion of the level of risk of our assets and liabilities, our liquidity
position, our level of unused borrowing capacity and over-collateralization
levels required by lenders when we pledge assets to secure borrowings.



                                       17
<PAGE>

         Our target debt-to-GAAP reported equity ratio is determined under our
capital investment policy. Should our actual debt-to-equity ratio increase above
the target level due to asset acquisition or market value fluctuations in
assets, we will cease to acquire new assets. Our management will, at that time,
present a plan to our Board of Directors to bring us back to our target
debt-to-equity ratio; in many circumstances, this would be accomplished in time
by the monthly reduction of the balance of our mortgage-backed securities
through principal repayments.

         ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND EFFECT OF CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES

         We continually review our asset/liability management strategy with
respect to interest rate risk, mortgage prepayment risk, credit risk and the
related issues of capital adequacy and liquidity. We seek attractive
risk-adjusted stockholder returns while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

         We seek to manage the extent to which our net income changes as a
function of changes in interest rates by matching adjustable-rate assets with
variable-rate borrowings. In addition, although we have not done so to date, we
may seek to mitigate the potential impact on net income of periodic and lifetime
coupon adjustment restrictions in our portfolio of mortgage-backed securities by
entering into interest rate agreements such as interest rate caps and interest
rate swaps.

         Changes in interest rates may also have an effect on the rate of
mortgage principal prepayments and, as a result, prepayments on mortgage-backed
securities. We will seek to mitigate the effect of changes in the mortgage
principal repayment rate by balancing assets we purchase at a premium with
assets we purchase at a discount. To date, the aggregate premium exceeds the
aggregate discount on our mortgage-backed securities. As a result, prepayments,
which result in the expensing of unamortized premium, will reduce our net income
compared to what net income would be absent such prepayments.

         INFLATION

         Virtually all of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature. As
a result, interest rates and other factors drive our performance far more than
does inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with
inflation rates or changes in inflation rates. Our financial statements are
prepared in accordance with GAAP and our dividends based upon our net income as
calculated for tax purposes; in each case, our activities and balance sheet are
measured with reference to historical cost or fair market value without
considering inflation.

         OTHER MATTERS

         We calculate that our qualified REIT assets, as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code, are 99.5% of our total assets at March 31, 2000 and 1999, as
compared to the Internal Revenue Code requirement that at least 75% of our total
assets be qualified REIT assets. We also calculate that 99.5% and 99.5% of our
revenue qualifies for the 75% source of income test, and 100% of its revenue
qualifies for the 95% source of income test, under the REIT rules for the years
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. We also met all REIT requirements
regarding the ownership of our common stock and the distribution of our net
income. Therefore, as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, we believe that we qualified
as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

         We at all times intend to conduct our business so as not to become
regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If we were
to become regulated as an investment company, then our 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 and interests in real estate" (qualifying
interests). Under current interpretation of the staff of the SEC, in order to
qualify for this exemption, we must maintain at least 55% of our assets directly
in qualifying interests. In addition, unless certain mortgage securitites
represent all the certificates issued with respect to an underlying pool of
mortgages, the mortgage-backed securities may be treated as securities separate
from the underlying mortgage loans and, thus, may not be considered qualifying
interests for purposes of the 55% requirement. We calculate that as of March 31,
2000 and 1999 we were in compliance with this requirement.

ITEM. 2           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK

         Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The
primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk, which is
highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax
policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and
other factors beyond our control. Changes in the general level of interest rates
can affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest
income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in
connection with our interest-bearing liabilities, by affecting the spread
between our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in
the level of interest rates also can affect the value of our mortgage-backed
securities and our ability to realize gains from the sale of these assets. We
may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps,
caps, floors and other interest rate exchange contracts, in order to limit the
effects of interest rates on our operations. If we use these types of
derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing
liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses
on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of
securities and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the
instruments. To date, we have not purchased any hedging instruments.

         Our profitability and the value of our portfolio may be adversely
affected during any period as a result of changing interest rates. The following
table quantifies the potential changes in net interest income and portfolio
value should interest rates go up or down 200 basis points, assuming the yield
curves of the rate shocks will be parallel to each other and the current yield
curve. All changes in income and value are measured as percentage changes from
the projected net interest income and portfolio value at the base interest rate
scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at March 31,
2000 and various estimates regarding prepayment and all activities are made at
each level of rate shock. Actual results could differ significantly from these
estimates.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

         Asset and liability management is concerned with the timing and
magnitude of the repricing of assets and liabilities. We attempt to control
risks associated with interest rate movements. Methods for evaluating interest
rate risk include an analysis of our interest rate sensitivity "gap", which is
the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
maturing or repricing within a given time period. A gap is considered positive
when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of
interest-rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the
amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities exceeds interest-rate sensitive
assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to
adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result
in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest
rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest
income, while a positive gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely.
Because different types of assets and liabilities with the same or similar
maturities may react differently to changes in overall market rates or
conditions, changes in interest rates may affect net interest income positively
or negatively even if an institution were perfectly matched in each maturity
category.

         The following table sets forth the estimated maturity or repricing of
our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at March 31, 2000.
The amounts of assets and liabilities shown within a particular period were
determined in accordance with the contractual terms of the assets and
liabilities, except adjustable-rate loans, and securities are included in the
period in which their interest rates are first scheduled to adjust and not in
the period in which they mature. Mortgage-backed securities reflect estimated
prepayments that were estimated based on analyses of broker estimates, the
results of a


                                       19

prepayment model that we utilized and empirical data. Our management believes
that these assumptions approximate actual experience and considers them
reasonable; however, the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities
in the table could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or
actual experience differs from the historical experience on which the
assumptions are based.
