Shares of common stock to be outstanding assuming all shares to which this
prospectus relates are sold 11,416,194 shares
OUR COMPANY
America's Senior Financial Services, Inc. ("AMSE", or "America's Senior"), along
with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dow Guarantee Corp. ("Dow"), and Jupiter
Mortgage Corporation ("Jupiter"), is a licensed mortgage lender active in
originating, processing and obtaining funding for forward and reverse mortgage
loans secured by single family residences which are funded by financial
institutions or independent investors. AMSE and its subsidiaries are
collectively known as the "Company".
We receive income from two sources in connection with our mortgage lending
activities: we charge certain non-refundable mortgage application fees to
potential borrowers and upon closing a loan, receive additional fees payable by
the borrower or investor which fees are based upon a percentage of the loan
and/or the interest rates charged.
Our executive offices are located at: 9501 NE 2nd Ave., Miami Shores, Florida
33138 and our telephone number is: 305-751-3232. We are a Florida corporation
which was incorporated in 1990.
RISK FACTORS
The matters described below address some of the factors that make an
investment in our common stock risky.
WE HAVE HAD A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND THIS MAY CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE
We have incurred losses in each of the last three years. We cannot assure
that we can achieve profitability in the short and/or long terms, if at all. We
may be required to raise additional capital in the future to sustain our
operations. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in procuring
such capital on terms we deem to be favorable. If we are unable to procure such
capital, we may be required to curtail our level of activities. Our independent
accountants issued an opinion in our financial statements as to reflect
our ability to continue as a going concern in 1999.
IF WE LOSE OUR KEY PERSONNEL, OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS MAY BE ADVERSELY
AFFECTED.
We only have a few key officers and directors. If any of them should leave
our company, this could have an adverse effect on our business and prospects.
AVAILABILITY OF MORTGAGES AT REASONABLE RATES.
The success of our mortgage origination business is dependent upon the
availability of mortgage funding at reasonable rates. Although there has been no
limitation on the availability of mortgage funding in the last few years, there
can be no assurance that mortgages at attractive rates will continue to be
available.
COMPETITION.
There are many sources of mortgages available to potential borrowers today.
These sources include consumer finance companies, mortgage banking companies,
savings banks, commercial banks, credit unions, thrift institutions, credit card
issuers and insurance companies. Many of these alternative sources are
substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and
marketing resources than we do. Additionally, many financial services
organizations against whom we compete for business have formed national loan
origination networks or have purchased home equity lenders. We compete for
mortgage loan business in several ways, including convenience in obtaining a
loan, customer service, marketing and distribution channels, amount and term of
the loan, loan origination fees and interest rates. If any of these competitors
significantly expand their activities in our market, our business could be
4
<PAGE> 3
materially adversely affected. Changes in interest rates and general economic
conditions may also affect our business and our competitors. During periods of
rising interest rates, competitors who have locked into lower rates with
potential borrowers may have a competitive advantage.
GROWTH BY ACQUISITIONS
We have made three major acquisitions since mid-1998 and until recently,
were in the process of making additional acquisitions. In July 1998, we acquired
Dow Guarantee Corp., a south Florida mortgage lender since 1985. In January
1999, we acquired Capital Funding of South Florida, Inc., a central and north
Florida mortgage lender since 1994. In August 1999, we acquired Jupiter Mortgage
Corporation, a central Florida mortgage lender since 1984. Additional
acquisitions may result in the issuance of more common stock and the incurrence
of additional debt. Acquisitions may also require additional management and
financial controls and could place a strain on our current resources. Our
ability to successfully integrate both completed and potential acquisitions into
our core business and to achieve synergies with the acquired entity will be
significant in terms of our growth, future prospects and results of operations.
We can give no assurance to our ability to successfully integrate any such
acquisitions. At this date acquisition activity has been halted.
ADDITIONAL SHARES COULD DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE
As of September 30, 2000, we have issued a total 1,480,612 warrants and
options which can be exercised for our common stock at various exercise prices.
Many shares of common stock underlying these warrants and options have been
granted the right to have such shares registered for resale under the Securities
Act. This includes the right in some circumstances to have additional shares of
common stock paid over the next five years based upon the financial performance
and results of such acquired entities. All of these actual and potential share
issuances may have a negative effect on the share price of our common stock in
the future.
CONVERSION OF OUR DEBENTURES AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS WILL RESULT IN ISSUANCE OF
MORE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
We issued $2,500,000 of convertible debentures in May 1999. Each debenture
is convertible into common stock. The number of shares of common stock that may
be issued upon conversion of the convertible debentures depends upon the market
price of our common stock at the time of the conversion. As of September 30,
2000, $1,363,995 of this debt has already converted into 524,483 shares for
principal and interest. Based upon the recent price of common stock of $0.50 per
share, if the debentures were converted into common stock, we would issue
2,704,774 shares of common stock. We may sell up to $7,500,000 of additional
convertible debentures. We also issued warrants to purchase 34,383 shares of our
common stock at $8.70 per share, to the purchaser of the debentures and warrants
to purchase 246,129 shares of our common stock at $8.70 per share to other
placement agents and consultants, we will issue more warrants in the event of
the sale of additional debentures. See additional comments on page 8 captioned
"Liquidity and Capital Resources".
The Company and the Debenture holder are currently litigating this
debenture. Negotiations are underway to restructure the agreement. While this
process is ongoing requests for additional conversions have been suspended.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE REGULATION
Our operations are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and
licensing by federal, state and local governmental authorities and are subject
to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing requirements
and restrictions on part or all of our operations. Our consumer lending
activities are subject to the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z
(including the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994), the Federal
Equal Credit Opportunity Act, as amended, and Regulation B, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the Federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures
Act and Regulation X, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Federal Debt
Collection Practices Act and the National Housing Act of 1934, as well as other
federal and state statutes and regulations affecting our activities.
We are also subject to the rules and regulations of, and examinations by,
state regulatory authorities with respect to originating and processing loans.
These rules and regulations, among other things, impose licensing obligations on
us, establish eligibility criteria for mortgage loans, prohibit discrimination,
govern inspections and appraisals of properties and credit reports on loan
applicants, collection, foreclosure and claims handling, investment and interest
payments on escrow balances and payment features, mandate certain disclosures
and notices to borrowers and, in some cases, fix maximum interest rates, fees
5
<PAGE> 4
and mortgage loan amounts. Failure to comply with these requirements can lead to
loss of approved status, certain rights of rescission for mortgage loans, class
action lawsuits and administrative enforcement action.
USE OF PROCEEDS
All the shares of the common stock being registered with this registration
statement are being issued for services. Therefore we will receive no proceeds
from the sale of these shares.

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not previously paid any dividends to our shareholders and we do not
anticipate that any dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. The Board
of Directors intends to follow a policy of using retained earnings, if any, to
finance the growth of the company. The declaration and payment of dividends in
the future will be determined by the Board of Directors in light of conditions
then existing, including the company's earnings, financial condition, capital
requirements and other factors.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere herein.
This Form SB-2 contains forward looking statements including, without
limitation, statements relating to the Company's plans, expectations,
intentions, and adequate resources, and are made pursuant to the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words
"believes" "intends" "expects" "plans" "anticipates" "estimates" or "potential"
and similar expressions identify forward looking statements. The Company does
not undertake to update, revise, or correct any of the forward looking
information. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in any
forward looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company. Some important
factors that could cause the Company's actual results or expectations to differ
materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements include, but
are not limited to loss of the Company's significant customers, changes in
consumer demand for the Company's core products, interest rates in general,
actions of regulatory or consumer protection agencies that have an effect on the
Company's ability to market its products, Federal and State legislation, capital
expenditures, economic conditions in general and inability to retain qualified
employees.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998:

<PAGE> 5
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the Year Ended December 31, 1999 increased 163% to $4,723,697
from $1,797,632 for the Year Ended December 31, 1998. This growth in revenues
was primarily attributable to the contributions of the Capital Funding of South
Florida, Inc. and Jupiter Mortgage Corporation subsidiaries totaling $2,297,617
in 1999, whose results were not part of AMSE's 1998 results. The Year Ended
December 31, 1998 includes five months of Dow's operations as this subsidiary
was acquired July 31, 1998.
Total Expenses for the Year Ended December 31, 1999 compared to the Year
Ended December 31, 1998 increased 449% to $11,966,506 from $2,179,888. This
increase in expenses was partially attributable to the inclusion of the costs
associated with the Capital Funding and Jupiter subsidiaries totaling $3,696,576
in 1999, which were not a part of AMSE during 1998, and Dow which was a part of
AMSE for a portion of the year ended December 31, 1998.
These expenses also include impairment write-down's of $3,259,311 against
the goodwill of Dow Guarantee Corp. and Jupiter. The Jupiter impairment was
specific to the former Capital Funding operations. Capital Funding had negative
operations prior to their merger into Jupiter. The Dow impairment was taken due
to Dow having negative operations in the last five months of 1998 and during the
second quarter of 1999. During the second quarter of 1999 Dow lost some key
sales personnel, these individuals had historically been responsible for
approximately 10% of Dow's revenues. These personnel have been replaced.
The Company has also recognized approximately $1,491,628 of Debenture
Financing Costs. These Debentures are immediately convertible into Common Stock
and therefor the expenses are recognized immediately and not amortized over the
life of the debenture. These expenses include approximately $280,000 of fees
paid out of the debenture financing and the issuance of 185,500 shares of the
Company's Common Stock issued to consultants and placement agents. The Common
Stock issued is valued with a 10% discount due to the restrictions imposed on
the transferability of the shares.
Total Other Expenses for the Year Ended December 31, 1999 compared to the
Year Ended December 31, 1998 increased to $519,031 from $17,010. This increase
in expenses was primarily due to the beneficial conversion feature of the
convertible debentures of $441,176.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1999
Revenues for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000 increased by
64% to $4,922,941, up from $2,989,009 for the nine-month period ending September
30, 1999. Jupiter Mortgage Corporation was the primary factor for this increase.
Revenues for Jupiter Mortgage Corporation for the nine-months ended September
30, 2000 increased by 63% to $3,480,263 up from $2,129,867 for the nine-month
period ending September 30, 1999.
Total expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared
to the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 decreased to $6,326,712 from
$7,863,599. Jupiter Mortgage Corporation was the primary factor for increasing
total expenses, as it was not a part of the Company's 1999 results. Overall the
total expenses decreased due to a one-time impairment adjustment for
approximately 2.3 million related to the purchase of Dow Mortgage, which is
reflected in the Company's 1999 results. In addition the Company, pursuant to
terms of those certain acquisition agreements with Senior Income Reverse
Mortgage Corporation and Pinnacle Financial Corporation, wrote down the
acquisition costs and deposits related thereto, as these acquisitions were not
consummated and the agreements terminated pursuant to their terms. These costs
were approximately $591,000 in fiscal year 2000.
Total other expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000
compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 decreased to $64,067
from $470,151. This is attributable to the interest expense of the convertible
benefit of the debentures in the amount of $441,176.
In summary, for the year to date 2000 (through 9/30/2000) the Company's loss
was reduced from $5,349,741 in 1999 (79.5 cents per share) to $1,467,838 in 2000
(16.4 cents per share). This reduction represents an improvement of $3,881,903
or 72%.

<PAGE> 6
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We sold $2,500,000 principal amount of 3% convertible debentures in May 1999
which are due on May 6, 2002. The debentures are convertible into our common
stock at the option of the debenture holder. If converted, the debentures will
be converted into common stock at a price of the lower of (a) $8.70 per share or
(b) 85% of the average closing bid price for the common stock for 5 trading days
selected by the debenture holder from the twenty trading days ending immediately
before the conversion of the debenture. However, the Company may not issue more
than 9.9% of its outstanding common stock to this debenture holder. We also
issued warrants to purchase 34,383 shares of our common stock at $8.70 per share
to the purchaser of the debentures and will issue more warrants in the event of
the sale of additional debentures. The material risk associated with this type
of debenture is that with our stock price having been at a historic low it has a
significant dilutive effect. In May 2000 the Company refused the debenture
holder's request to convert $75,000 of debentures into approximately 400,000
shares of common stock. As a result the debenture holder accelerated the due
date of the outstanding debentures and filed suit for damages, which the Company
intends to vigorously defend. See "Legal Proceedings." As a result it is
unlikely that further debentures will be issued.
The debenture holder has converted $1,363,995 of the principal of the
debenture into 524,483 shares of the Company's common stock. Interest expense
associated with the conversion was approximately $20,000 and was paid by the
issuance of shares of common stock.
8
<PAGE> 7
In October 1999, the Company accrued a $45,000 penalty due to the debenture
holder. Such penalty was the result of the Company not filing an active
registration statement within 120 days of the debenture issue date per the terms
of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 6, 1999. This amount was a
current liability at December 31, 1999, and it was paid in January 2000 by the
issuance of 21,019 shares of common stock.
We currently manage the payment of our current liabilities and obligations
on a monthly basis as cash becomes available. Based on the current success in
raising capital from investors, the costs of operations may increase as these
funds are invested to enhance operations.
We believe we can achieve profitability if we can increase our revenues. The
operating and administrative infrastructure to manage the growth of the Company
is currently in place. Management plans to increase marketing of its mortgage
products. The marketing efforts of the Company are dependent upon its ability to
fund such efforts; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will
reach profitability without accessing additional capital resources. Management
intends to generate the necessary capital to operate for the next twelve months
by selling our common and preferred shares to qualified investors in private
placements. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required
capital through the sale of our debt or equity securities or that we will have
access to other sources of capital on terms that are acceptable to us.
INDUSTRY OBSTACLES:
The Reverse Mortgage Industry is fragmented, dominated by small regional
firms, and generally lacks nationwide leadership. We saw this as an opportunity
to aggregate production, and used this weakness as the core of our growth
strategy. In 1998, we were involved in the formation of the National Reverse
Mortgage Lenders Association (NRMLA). NRMLA was created to help this Industry
become mainstream, and we are a driving member of NRMLA.
Management of AMSE believes that the Company's results have started to
reflect its business model which is built on a mix of revenue weighted toward a
higher forward mortgage contribution. However, our overhead allocation is
weighted toward the development of our Reverse Mortgage ("RM") business. In 1999
we continued to increase our forward mortgage business in an attempt to
subsidize the cost of growing our RM business.
In 1999, we continued to spend considerable resources to further develop a
program whereby mortgage brokers, financial planners, and other advisors to the
senior demographic could participate in the growth of the Reverse Mortgage
Industry.
FUTURE PLANS FOR GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY:
The Company has developed a specific strategy for the future. The strategy
addresses several key needs.
1. At this writing, the Company plans to grow through internal development of
its captive (and growing) loan origination staff. Our training focus is on
the Reverse Mortgage segment of our business. In 1998, by following this
9
<PAGE> 8
strategy, the Miami Lakes office increased its Reverse Mortgage origination
pipeline by almost 500%. Along the way, valuable lessons were learned about
the training involved with regular mortgage sales people. In 1999, these
internal techniques were used to train our subsidiaries to produce RMs.
2. In 1998 and 1999, the key growth engine was acquisition activity. In July
1998 the Company acquired Dow Guarantee Mortgage, adding approximately
$84,000,000 in loan production. In January of 1999, the Company acquired
Capital Funding of South Florida, adding another $62,500,000 in loan
production. In August of 1999, the Company acquired Jupiter Mortgage
Corporation, adding approximately $125,000,000 in loan production. On
September 30, 1999 we merged Capital with and into Jupiter in an effort to
consolidate and or eliminate duplicative back office functions.
3. We are continuing to develop our "participant network" of mortgage brokers,
financial planners, and other persons dedicated to working with the senior
demographic. The Company has initiated several discussions with both public
and private companies in an effort to accelerate the development of the
network.
BUSINESS
We are a licensed mortgage lender active in originating, processing and
obtaining funding for forward and reverse mortgage loans secured by single
family residences which are funded by financial institutions or independent
investors. We receive income from two sources in connection with our mortgage
lending activities: we charge certain non-refundable mortgage application fees
to potential borrowers and upon closing a loan, receive an additional fees
payable by the borrower or investor which fees are based upon a percentage of
the loan and/or the interest rates charged.
We are a Florida corporation which was incorporated on February 26, 1990
under the name Phoenix Management Associates, Inc. We changed our name to
America's Senior Financial Services, Inc. on December 11, 1997. We do business
under the trade names America's Senior Financial Services, Dow Guarantee and
Jupiter Mortgage Corporation.
HOW REVERSE MORTGAGES WORK
A reverse mortgage (RM) is a type of home equity loan that allows homeowners
to convert some of the equity in their homes into cash without an obligation on
their part for monthly repayment. RMs works much like forward mortgages, only in
reverse. Rather than making a payment to the lender each month, the lender pays
the borrower. Unlike conventional home equity loans, RMs do not require any
repayment of principal, interest, or servicing fees for as long as the borrower
lives in their home. Funds obtained from an RM may be used for any purpose,
including meeting housing expenses such as taxes, insurance, fuel, and
maintenance costs, as well as any personal expenses such as health care
expenses. The loan does not come due until the borrower dies, sells, or moves
out of the home permanently.
REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE REVERSE MORTGAGE BORROWER
The RM funds may be paid to the borrower in a lump sum, in monthly advances,
through a line-of-credit, or in a combination of the three, depending on the
type of RM and the lender. The amount the homeowner is eligible to borrow is
based on age, the equity in the home, and the interest rate the lender is
charging. The calculation is done utilizing special software developed by the
secondary market investors.
Because the borrower retains title to the home with an RM, the borrower also
remains responsible for taxes, repairs, and maintenance. Depending on the plan
selected, the RM becomes due with interest either when the borrower permanently
moves, sells the home or dies. The lender does not take title to the home when
the borrower dies, but the heirs must pay off the loan. The debt is usually
repaid by refinancing the loan into a forward mortgage (if the heirs are
eligible) or by using the proceeds from the sale of the home.
The Company has established ongoing correspondent relationships with
selected mortgage funding organizations such as Federal National Mortgage
Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Housing Administration and several
non-governmental lenders which have established reverse mortgage funding
programs. These organizations buy reverse mortgages which meet their individual
and agency or government underwriting requirements. The Company receives a fee
upon funding which is generally 2% of the appraised value of the subject
property.
LOAN OFFICE NETWORK. The Company originates mortgage loans through its
network of 7 retail loan offices. As of November 26, 2000 the following are the
locations of the loan origination offices maintained by America's Senior, Dow,
and Jupiter.

The Company's loan officers at its 7 retail loan offices assist the
applicant in explaining the various mortgage loan programs available, completing
the loan application, arranging for appraisals, credit reports,
pre-underwriting, quality control, fraud prevention, state and federal
compliance issues, and various other tasks in connection with the proper
preparation of a loan package. The loan package is then forwarded to the
Company's funding sources for compliance review and loan approval. If the loan
package is approved, the loan can be closed and funded and the Company receives
its fees, which are based upon a percentage on the amount of the loan and/or
interest rates.
Generally, the Company acts only to originate mortgage loans which are
funded by third party financing sources. While the Company has credit
arrangements to fund loans with its own funds, these are used in a very limited
manner, and loans funded with these facilities are generally not held longer
than 90 days. Accordingly, the risks of collection, delinquencies and
foreclosures are very limited.
MARKETING AND ADVERTISING
As an independent mortgage originator, the Company seeks to identify persons
who are seeking mortgage loan funding. Currently, the Company advertises in
local and regional newspapers, yellow page telephone directories, internet
websites, direct mail and cable television. The Company markets through national
Trade Association participation, senior oriented direct mail, participation in
senior events, free video tapes given to potential clients, state level trade
shows, and HUD/Fannie Mae focus group activities.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company expended
approximately $393,000 and $155,000, respectively for sales and marketing
activities. In 1999 the Company expanded its marketing activities to
consistently include nationwide advertising of its Reverse Mortgage effort. For
the year to date 2000, marketing and advertising expenses have been
significantly reduced as the Company increases its efficiency and continues to
develop its business in its core states of Florida and Indiana.
FUNDING SOURCES
The Company has established ongoing correspondent relationships with
selected mortgage funding organizations that have seller-servicer status with
major secondary market entities such as Federal National Mortgage Association
(Fannie Mae), the FHLMC (Freddie Mac), the Federal Housing Administration (FHA),
the Veteran's Administration (VA), and certain conforming and non-conforming
non-governmental wholesale lenders.
The Company generally functions as a concurrent lender ('table funding'),
and has pre-sold its whole loans on a flow basis, prior to the closing of the
loan. This means that at the actual closing (or upon the expiration of any
applicable loan rescission period, such as would apply in the case of a
refinance) the funding organization wires the necessary monies directly to the
third party closing the loan. The funds generally do not flow in to any of the
Company's accounts. The Company then receives from the closer, the fees due the
Company.
The funding organizations have no contractual obligation to fund any
mortgage loans originated by the Company. Each loan is considered for funding
based upon the underwriting standards established by the individual funding
11
<PAGE> 10
organization, in compliance with the government (FHA, VA) or quasi-governmental
agency (FNMA, FHLMC) which will ultimately acquire the loan as part of a
mortgage backed security (MBS).
The funding organizations are all major wholesale funding sources, and the
Company represents that it only sells loans to those organizations which are
properly licensed to conduct business in the states that the Company operates
in, and that the funding organizations are generally HUD, VA, FNMA, or FHLMC
approved conduits.
EXPANSION STRATEGY
In July 1998, January 1999 and August 1999, the Company acquired Dow,
Capital Funding and Jupiter respectively. See "Future Plans For Growth And
Profitability". The Company is seeking to acquire additional mortgage
originators and may also consider the acquisition of ancillary organizations
such as title companies, health care providers, and other financial service
organizations focused on the senior citizen market. During May of 1999 the
Company raised $2.5M for operating and acquisition capital.
COMPETITION
The Company faces intense competition in the business of originating
mortgage loans. The Company's competitors in the industry include consumer
finance companies, mortgage banking companies, savings banks, commercial banks,
credit unions, thrift institutions, credit card issuers and insurance companies.
Many of these competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater
financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. In addition, many
financial services organizations that are much larger than the Company have
formed national loan origination networks or purchased home equity lenders.
Competition among industry participants can take many forms, including
convenience in obtaining a loan, customer service, marketing and distribution
channels, amount and term of the loan, loan origination fees and interest rates.
To the extent any of these competitors significantly expand their activities in
the Company's market, the business of the Company could be materially adversely
affected. Fluctuations in interest rates and general economic conditions may
also affect the Company and its competition. During periods of rising rates,
competitors that have locked in lower rates to potential borrowers may have a
competitive advantage.
The Company believes its competitive strengths include emphasizing customer
education to attract borrowers for reverse mortgages, and its ongoing high level
of customer service which causes it to retain a very high percentage of its
clients.
REGULATION
The Company's operations are subject to extensive regulation, supervision
and licensing by federal, state and local governmental authorities and are
subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing
requirements and restrictions on part or all of its operations. The Company's
consumer lending activities are subject to the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act and
Regulation Z (including the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994),
the Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act, as amended, and Regulation B, the Fair
Credit Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the Federal Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act and Regulation X, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Federal
Debt Collection Practices Act and the National Housing Act of 1934, as well as
other federal and state statutes and regulations affecting the Company's
activities.
The Company is also subject to the rules and regulations of, and
examinations by, state regulatory authorities with respect to originating and
processing loans. These rules and regulations, among other things, impose
licensing obligations on the Company, establish eligibility criteria for
mortgage loans, prohibit discrimination, govern inspections and appraisals of
properties and credit reports on loan applicants, regulate assessment,
collection, foreclosure and claims handling, investment and interest payments on
escrow balances and payment features, mandate certain disclosures and notices to
borrowers and, in some cases, fix maximum interest rates, fees and mortgage loan
amounts. Failure to comply with these requirements can lead to loss of approved
status, certain rights of rescission for mortgage loans, class action lawsuits
and administrative enforcement action.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 11, 2000 the Company was served a Complaint filed in U.S.
District Court, Southern District of New York, by Fennell Avenue LLC against
America's Senior Financial Services, Inc. The suit seeks damages for our refusal
to deliver certain shares of our common stock to the Plaintiff upon Plaintiff's
conversion of certain of our convertible debentures. We believe that we were
justified refusing the request for conversion and intend to vigorously defend
this matter. The Plaintiff seeks the balance of the principal amount of the
convertible debenture, accrued interest, any profit they would have received
upon conversion of the debenture into common stock, attorneys' fees and such
other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

OTHER OPTION PLAN
On 4-12-00 the Board of Directors granted options pursuant to two special
option plans which have been designated Form A & B. Form A was developed as an
anti-dilution full ratchet option plan to protect the Company in the event of
any takeover attempt. Format B was developed to recognize certain shareholders
who had supported the Company with cash and/or significant personal efforts
during the past twenty four months.
All shares issued pursuant to these two formats will be restricted shares
under Rule 144. In general Rule 144 provides volume limitations that state that
a person or persons whose shares are aggregated may not sell within any three
month period a number of shares which exceeds the greater of 1% of the then
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock or the average weekly trading
value during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale.
The shares issued under this option agreement will be deemed "restricted
shares" under the Act, and the public sale thereof even after the expiration of
the lock up period absent registration of such securities under the Act may only
be made in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. The shares will
bear an appropriate restrictive legend reflecting the foregoing.
The basic option agreements were developed by AMSE Counsel Akerman
Senterfitt. Format "A" is to be used in relation to any options exercised by
Directors and Officers and Format "B" relates to all of the other optionees. All
options were granted at 50 cents per option which was the closing price of the
stock as of April 18, 2000.
The following consists of the number of the options that became available as
a result of the action taken by the Board on 4-12-00.

Rule 144. In addition, by accepting these options, the optionees agree to grant
voting rights on the underlying shares to The Company. This assignment of voting
rights expires upon arm's length sale of the underlying shares into the market.
EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE BONUS POOL
The Company's employment agreement with its President, Nelson A. Locke,
provides that ten percent (10%) of the Company's pre-tax net income for 1998
through 2002 in excess of the pre-tax net income for December 31, 1997 shall be
contributed to an annual bonus pool for the benefit of the President and other
key employees of the Company. The allocation of any bonus among the President
and other key employees is made by the Compensation Committee.
No bonus was allocated for 1999 and/or 1998.
STOCK OPTION PLANS.
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company's Board of Directors and Shareholders have adopted two stock
option plans. Pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "ISO Plan"),
options to acquire a maximum of 2,000,000 shares, but not more than eight
percent (8%) of the total authorized shares of the Company, may be granted to
directors, officers, employees, consultants and other independent contractors
and persons who performed services relating to the Company, including wholly or
partially owned subsidiaries.
The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee consisting of two
non-employee directors or in the absence of such a committee, the Board of
Directors.
Pursuant to the ISO Plan, the Company may grant Incentive Stock Options as
defined in ss. 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and non-qualified
stock options not intended to qualify under such section. The price at which the
Company's common stock may be purchased upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options
granted under the Plan will be required to be at least equal to the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant. Non-qualified stock options may
be at any price designated by the Committee on the date of grant. Options
granted under the Plan may have maximum terms of not more than ten (10) years
and are not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
No Incentive Stock Options under the Plan may be granted to an individual owning
15
<PAGE> 14
more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock issued by the Company unless the purchase price of the common stock under
such option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value
of the shares issuable on exercise of the option at the date of grant and such
option is not exercisable more than five (5) years from the date of grant.
Generally, options granted under the Plan terminate upon the grantee's
employment or affiliation with the Company, but the Committee may authorize an
expiration date of up to ninety (90) days following such termination. If
termination was due to death or disability, the options expire one (1) year
after such termination or the termination date set forth in the option,
whichever is earlier. If termination is due to retirement the option expires
ninety (90) days after termination or the termination date set forth in the
option, whichever is earlier.
If the Change of Control takes place, the Board may vote to immediately
terminate all outstanding options or may vote to accelerate the expiration of
options to the tenth day after the effective date of the Change of Control. If
the Board votes to immediately terminate the options, it shall make a cash
payment to the grantees equal to the difference between the exercise price and
the Fair Market Value of the shares that would have been subject to the
terminated option on the date of the Change of Control. A Change of Control of
the Company is generally deemed to occur when any person becomes the beneficial
owner of or acquires voting control with respect forty percent (40%) or more of
the total voting shares of the Company, the Company is merged into any other
company, or substantially all of its assets are acquired by another company, or
three or more directors nominated by the Board to serve as a director, each
having agreed to serve in such capacity, failed to be elected in a contested
election of directors.
Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are subject to the
restriction of the aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of grant of
options which first become exercisable in any calendar year cannot exceed
$100,000.
The Plan provides for appropriate adjustments in the number and type of
shares covered by the Plan and options granted thereunder in the event of any
reorganization, merger, recapitalization or certain other transactions involving
the Company.
Until the closing of an underwritten public offering by the Company,
pursuant to a registration statement filed and declared effective under the
Securities Act of 1933 covering offer and sale of the Company's common stock for
the account of the Company, the Company has the right of first refusal to
acquire any shares which were acquired pursuant to the exercise of options under
the Plan at the Fair Market Value on the date of the shareholder's notice to the
Company and the Company shall have the right to repurchase any option shares
following holder's termination of service or affiliation with the Company for
any reason at the original exercise price of the option.
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN.
Pursuant to the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Non-ISO Plan"),
options to acquire a maximum of two percent (2%) of the total authorized shares
of the Company may be granted to any person who performed services for the
Company and its subsidiaries.
Non-qualified stock options may be at any price designated by the Committee
on the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan may have maximum terms of
not more than ten (10) years and are not transferable except by will or the laws
of descent in distribution.
Generally, options granted under the Plan terminate thirty (30) days after
termination of the grantee's employment or affiliation with the Company. If
termination was due to death or disability, the options expire one (1) year
after such termination or the termination date set forth in the option,
whichever is earlier.
Any conditions or restrictions on exercise lapse on a Change of Control
unless otherwise set forth in the Option Agreement.
The Plan is administered by a Stock Option Committee consisting of two or
more non-employee directors or in the absence of such a committee, the Board of
Directors.
The Plan provides for appropriate adjustments in the number and type of
shares covered by the Plan and options granted thereunder in the event of any
reorganization, merger, recapitalization or certain other transactions involving
the Company.
Until the closing of an underwritten public offering by the Company,
pursuant to a registration, filed and declared effective under the Securities
Act of 1933 covering offer and sale of the Company's common stock for the
account of the Company, the Company has the right of first refusal to acquire
any shares which were acquired pursuant to the exercise of options under the
Plan. At the Fair Market Value on the date of the shareholder's notice to the
Company and the Company shall have the right to repurchase any option shares
16
<PAGE> 15
following holder's termination of service or affiliation with the Company for
any reason at the original exercise price of the option.
NON-PLAN STOCK INCENTIVES.
In 1998, the Company issued 74,400 shares of its Common Stock to employees
as incentive compensation. These shares vest at three years. There is no
prorated vesting schedule. During 1999 we issued an additional 128,300 shares to
employees as incentive compensation.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
A shareholder, Louis Weltman of Vistra Growth Partners, Inc. provided
investment banking services to the Company. In 1998 such shareholder was paid
fees consisting of cash of $60,000 and 66,667 shares of the Company's common
stock for services in connection with the Company's acquisition of Dow. In 1999
he was paid approximately $417,000 in cash and issued 186,600 shares of common
stock and a warrant to purchase 228,888 shares of common stock in connection
with the sale of our 3% Convertible Debentures and the two acquisitions executed
during 1999. The warrant was forfeited as part of the termination agreement
entered into with the Company.
A shareholder, Brickell Equity Group received fees for services during 1999
consisting of 5,200 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $17,550 for
investment services.
The Company's president, Nelson Locke owed the Company $20,700 (including
accrued interest) under a note bearing 5% interest. Also, Mr. Locke bought a
vehicle from the Company for $5,000, which was approximately the net book value
at the time of the sale. Mr. Locke has since repaid the note.
Two shareholders of the Company (the former owners of Capital Funding) each
owe the Company $50,000 under promissory notes dated December 31, 1997. These
notes bear interest at 6% per annum and the interest is payable annually on
December 31st. These notes are due on January 1, 2004. The interest due at
December 31, 1998 and 1999 has not been paid. The total of principal and
interest is $112,000 at December 31, 1999 and $106,000 at December 31, 1998. The
fair value of these notes is not subject to reasonable estimation due to their
related party nature.
The Company owes the president, Nelson Locke $227,332.06 in the deferred
salary and benefits, and other money that the President loaned to the Company
during the course of the last twelve months.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001
par value. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. There is no
cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result
that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of
directors can elect all of the directors then up for election. The holders of
Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the
Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common
Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining which are available
for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision has
been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the Common
Stock. Holders of shares of Common Stock, as such, have no conversion,
preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions
applicable to the Common Stock. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
are fully paid and nonassessable.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with
rights, preferences and limitations to be determined by the Board of Directors.
As of the date hereof, no shares of Preferred Stock have been issued.
INDEMNIFICATION
The Florida Business Corporation Act provides that a person who is
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action because of service
as an officer or director or a corporation, such person is entitled to
indemnification of expenses actually and reasonably incurred in such defense.
F.S. 607.0850(3).
Such Act also provides that the corporation may indemnify an officer or
director, advance expenses, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the corporation and, with respect to a criminal action, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. F.S. 607.0850(1)(2).
A court may order indemnification of an officer or director if it determines
that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnification in
view of all the relevant circumstances. F.S. 607.0850(9).
INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or person controlling the
company, the company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION/SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
Plan of distribution
The shares offered hereby may be sold from time to time directly by the
selling security holders. Alternatively, these selling security holders may from
time to time offer the shares through underwriters, dealers or agents. The

one or more transactions that may take place on the over-the-counter market,
including:
o ordinary broker's transactions,
o privately-negotiated transactions or

<PAGE> 17
Customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be
paid by the selling security holders in connection with such sales of shares.
The shares offered by the selling security holders may be sold by one or more of
the following methods, without limitations:
o a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell
the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or
dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus;
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers, and
o face-to-face transactions between sellers and purchasers without a
broker-dealer.
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling security
holders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. The selling
security holders and intermediaries through whom such shares are sold may be
deemed "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 with
respect to the shares offered, and any profits realized or commissions received
may be deemed underwriting compensation.
At the time a particular offer of shares is made by or on behalf of a
selling security holder, to the extent required, a prospectus will be
distributed which will set forth the number of shares being offered and the
terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers
or agents, if any, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for shares
purchased from the selling security holder and any discounts, commissions or
concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and the proposed selling
price to the public.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
America's Senior Financial Services, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of America's Senior
Financial Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
America's Senior Financial Services, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company's accumulated deficit and its
loss from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AMERICA'S SENIOR FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
America's Senior Financial Services, Inc. ("AMSE") was incorporated on
February 26, 1990. On July 31, 1998, AMSE acquired Dow Guarantee Corp. ("Dow"),
on January 29, 1999, AMSE acquired Capital Funding of South Florida, Inc
("Capital Funding") and on August 18, 1999, AMSE acquired Jupiter Mortgage Corp.
("Jupiter"). On September 30, 1999, Capital Funding and Jupiter were merged and
Jupiter was the surviving corporation. AMSE and its subsidiaries are
collectively referred to as "the Company". All significant intercompany balances
and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company is engaged in originating, processing, and concurrently funding
mortgage loans. In addition to providing traditional (or forward) mortgage loan
services, the Company also arranges reverse mortgages specifically developed to
serve the special needs of the senior citizen community, and has generated a
substantial portion of the reverse mortgages originated in Florida. The Company
sells its closed loans to investors for resale into the secondary market.
GOING CONCERN
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the
settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The
Company has incurred losses of $7,761,840 and $399,266 in 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $8,219,283 at December 31, 1999.
In management's opinion, the operating deficit (which is largely confined to
AMSE corporate activities) is largely the result of the monies the Company has
expended in the execution of its aggressive acquisition strategy.
In 1999, the Company completed two acquisitions causing gross loan
originations to increase from under $150 million dollars to almost $300 million
dollars. In the process the Company grew from three physical locations to
twelve. In addition, the Company invested the capital necessary to complete due
diligence and prepare the appropriate documents to complete three more strategic
acquisitions that will again increase the Company's proforma gross loan
origination to a level approaching $1.5 billion dollars. Management is presently
waiting for final commitments on the funding necessary to close the three
additional acquisitions. Should such a closing occur, management believes that
the Company should operate profitably and the Company's balance sheet would be
favorably affected.
Historically, the Company has been funding its deficit primarily through
investor capital and has yet to generate profits from its primary operating
activities. Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional
resources and attain profitable operations to enable it to continue in business.
Management's growth plan estimated that given certain events the Company could
achieve critical mass in the year 2000. Since January 2000, management has taken
certain steps to reduce central office overhead and to increase loan origination
revenue system wide.
Since January 2000, the Company has financed its operating deficit through
private equity subscriptions and loans from management. The Company is planning
to obtain additional equity capital through the conversion of debt, and is in
the final stages of its execution of such a plan. In July 1999 the Company
signed a "best efforts" contract with a Wall Street placement agent to raise
between $17 and $25 million through the sale of equity. In October 1999, the
agreement was revised and the target amount increased to $50 million dollars
which was to be raised in several components consisting of debt and equity (see
Note 10 for additional details). In January 2000, the first component, a debt
offering, was set at $20 million. In March 2000, the offering memorandum was
printed and circulated to over 100 potential investors. Although the offering is
on a "best efforts" basis, management believes that the offering should be
successful and that sufficient capital could be raised allowing the completion
of some or all of the additional acquisitions discussed above. In addition, the
offering should provide some or all of the additional working capital needed to
correct the Company's current operating deficit.
In March 2000, the Company initiated merger talks with a real estate and
mortgage entity located in northeast Florida that if concluded could add over $2
million of net assets to the Company's balance sheet. The transaction is
F-8
<PAGE> 27
currently in due diligence. Management believes that these real estate assets
are unencumbered and would have a positive material effect on the Company's
balance sheet. In addition, these assets could provide the collateral necessary
for traditional short-term working capital borrowings, as required.
In summary, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business is dependent upon the Company's raising additional
equity capital and ultimately reaching profitable operations. However, no
assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in these activities.
Should any of the events discussed above not occur, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements could be materially affected.
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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CREDIT RISKS
The Company, as a licensed mortgage company, derives its revenues primarily
from mortgage application fees paid by potential borrowers and from brokerage,
processing fees, and service release premiums payable by the borrower and others
at the time of closing. The brokerage and processing fees are recognized as
revenue at the time the loans are closed.
The Company operates in the mortgage banking industry, therefore, it is
highly dependent on the status of the economy and interest rates.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically
seven years. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The excess of investment cost over the fair value of net assets acquired
(goodwill) is being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 20
years. The goodwill arose from the acquisitions of Dow, Capital Funding, and
Jupiter. Amortization of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
were approximately $194,200 and $71,239, respectively.
As a consequence of downturns in the mortgage industry in 1999 and the
interest rate increases that occurred during 1999, Dow and Capital Funding
operated at cumulative losses since their dates of acquisition. An impairment
review of these subsidiaries was initiated, pursuant to SFAS 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of". This review determined that the subsidiaries' estimated future
non-discounted cash flows were below its carrying value as a long-lived asset.
Accordingly, the Company has recorded impairment charges to adjust the carrying
value of the goodwill. The adjustments reduced the recorded value of the
goodwill by approximately $3,259,300. Management believes that the fair value of
the remaining assets approximates the amounts to which it was written down.
ADVERTISING
The costs of advertising, promotion, and marketing programs are generally
charged to operations in the year incurred. Significant funds were spent in 1999
to launch a nationwide direct mail campaign to market reverse mortgages, and the
Company invested advertising money to attract loan correspondents. Total
advertising expense was approximately $392,500 and $155,132 for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes." Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating loss
carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax
F-9
<PAGE> 28
bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the
date of enactment. State minimum taxes are expensed as paid.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS 128
requires companies with complex capital structures or common stock equivalents
to present both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the
income statement. Basic EPS is calculated as the income or loss available to
common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using the "if
converted" method for convertible securities and the treasury stock method for
options and warrants as previously prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share." The effect of common shares issuable under
the terms of the Company's preferred stock outstanding are excluded from the
calculation of diluted EPS since the effect is antidilutive. The adoption of
SFAS 128 did not have an impact on the Company's reported results.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 encourages, but
does not require, companies to record compensation plans at fair value. The
Company has chosen, in accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 123, to apply
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
Employees" (APB 25) for its stock plans. Under APB 25, if the exercise price of
the Company's stock options is less than the market price of the underlying
stock on the date of grant, the Company must recognize compensation expense.
SFAS No. 123 will be adopted for disclosure purposes only and will not impact
the Company's financial position, annual operating results, or cash flows.
For transactions with other than employees in which services were performed
in exchange for stock, the transactions were recorded on the basis of the fair
value of the services received or the fair value of the issued equity
instrument, whichever was more readily measurable.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company occasionally
maintains cash balances in financial institutions in excess of the federally
insured limits.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company has restricted $115,000 of cash in
connection with a letter of credit for Dow.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts from the 1998 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1999 presentation.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash, receivables, mortgage loans held for sale, accounts payable and
accrued expenses are reflected in the financial statements at fair value due to
the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company's
obligations under credit agreements, as disclosed in Note 3, are the same as the
recorded amounts because the rates and terms approximate current market
conditions.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". Among other provisions, it requires that
entities recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those derivatives
would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it
qualifies for hedge accounting. The effective date of this standard was delayed
via the issuance of SFAS No. 137. The effective date for SFAS No. 133 is now for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, though earlier adoption is
encouraged and retroactive application is prohibited. The Company must adopt
F-10
<PAGE> 29
this standard no later than January 1, 2001. The Company does not expect the
adoption of this standard to have a material impact on results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
A statement of comprehensive income has not been included, per SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," as the Company has no items of other
comprehensive income.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," effective January 31, 1999. SFAS No. 131
establishes standards for the way that public companies report selected
information about operating segments in annual and interim financial reports to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about an
enterprise's business segments, products, services, geographic areas and major
customers. The Company operates its business as a single segment. As a result,
no additional disclosure was required.

NOTE 3 - CREDIT AGREEMENTS
LINES OF CREDIT
The Company maintains several lines of credit with different financial
institutions. Interest rates vary, and include prime, prime plus 3%, and a flat
11% per annum. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the total amounts outstanding
under these lines of credit was approximately $366,000 and $50,000,
respectively.
MORTGAGE WAREHOUSE AGREEMENTS
The Company maintains two mortgage warehouse facilities with separate
financial institutions to assist the Company in originating and closing
mortgages. The Company is liable under these agreements only if defaults occur
during a mortgage closing process. As of December 31, 1999, there was
approximately $2,639,000 outstanding under one facility and the second facility
was unused. There were no amounts owed under this agreement as of December 31,
1998. Interest paid during 1999 and 1998 for borrowings under these two
facilities totaled approximately $121,900 and $16,094, respectively.
NOTE 4 - CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
In 1999, the Company acquired certain office equipment under the provisions
of various long-term leases and has capitalized the minimum lease payments. The
leases have terms from three to four years and are due to expire at various
times through 2002 and 2003. As of December 31, 1999, the leased property has a
recorded cost of $112,556 and is being depreciated along with other property and
equipment (see Note 2).
Future minimum lease payments under the capital lease and the net present
value of these future minimum lease payments subsequent to December 31, 1999 are
as follows:

As of December 31, 1998 long-term debt consisted of installment notes for
the Company's vehicles. The current portion of this long-term debt was 5,798 and
the balance was $13,287.
NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT, CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On May 6, 1999, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement,
pursuant to which the Company issued $2,500,000 of 3% convertible debentures,
which are due May 6, 2002, and common stock purchase warrants for 34,383 shares
at $8.70 per share, which expire May 31, 2004. The Securities Purchase
Agreement, among other terms, allows the Company to require the buyer to
purchase additional convertible debentures up to $7,500,000, as long as AMSE's
stock price remains above $5.75 per share. The holder of the convertible
debentures may take the interest in either cash or common stock of the Company.
The debentures are convertible into common stock at the option of the holder.
The conversion price is the lower of (a) $8.70 per share, or (b) 85% of the
average closing bid price for the Company's common stock for any five of the
past 20 trading days ending immediately before the conversion. At the time the
Company entered into this agreement, the debentures were available for
conversion at $6.16 per share. Under the accounting rule known as Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Topic D-60, this beneficial conversion feature
increases the effective interest rate of the debenture, and as a result,
$441,176 has been charged to interest expense. In connection with the placement
of this convertible debenture, the Company issued 185,548 shares of common stock
and paid approximately $268,800 in fees to consultants and placement agents,
which resulted in additional costs recognized of approximately $1,491,600.
In October 1999, the debenture holder converted $750,000 of the principal of
the debenture into 152,260 shares of the Company's common stock. Interest
expense associated with the conversion was approximately $1,300 and was paid by
the issuance of shares of common stock.
In October 1999, the Company accrued a $45,000 penalty due to the debenture
holder. Such penalty was the result of the Company not filing an active
registration statement within 120 days of the debenture issue date per the terms
of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 6, 1999. This amount is included
in accounts payable at December 31, 1999, and it was paid in January 2000 by the
issuance of 21,019 shares of common stock.
Subsequent to December 31, 1999 an additional $613,995 of the principal of
the debenture was converted by the debenture holder into 372,223 shares of
Company common stock.

Valuation allowance (1,334,840) (114,660)
----------- ----------
Net deferred income tax asset $ -- $ --
=========== ==========
There are no significant deferred tax liabilities. The Company has used a
combined estimated federal and state tax rate of approximately 35% for all
deferred tax computations. The tax benefit prior to the allowance differs from
the Federal statutory rate of 34% because of non-deductible expenses (primarily
resulting from the goodwill amortization and impairment charges) and the effect
of state income taxes.
The Company has recorded a valuation allowance in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 109 to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax
assets that may not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax
assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation future
taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences and/or
carryforward losses become deductible.
The Company has available tax net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs") as of
December 31, 1999 of approximately $2,940,000. The NOLs will begin to expire in
the year 2012. Certain provisions of the tax law may limit the net operating
loss carryforwards available for use in any given year in the event of a
significant change in ownership interest. There have already been significant
changes in stock ownership; however, management believes that an ownership
change has not yet occurred which would cause the net operating loss carryover
to be significantly limited.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
NOTES RECEIVABLE
Two shareholders of the Company (the former owners of Capital Funding) each
owe the Company $50,000 under promissory notes dated December 31, 1997. These
notes bear interest at 6% per annum and the interest is payable annually on
December 31st. These notes are due on January 1, 2004. The interest due at
December 31, 1998 and 1999 has not been paid. The total of principal and
interest is $112,000 at December 31, 1999 and $106,000 at December 31, 1998. The
fair value of these notes is not subject to reasonable estimation due to their
related party nature.
FEES FOR SERVICE
A shareholder of AMSE formerly acted as financial advisor to the Company. In
connection with his services, the shareholder received fees consisting of
$250,000 in cash and 170,600 shares of common stock which were issued pursuant
to the placement of the convertible debentures (see Note 5). The shareholder
also received fees consisting of $74,000 in cash and 16,000 shares of common
stock were issued pursuant to the acquisition of Capital Funding, and $93,000 in
cash pursuant to the acquisition of Jupiter. As of December 31, 1999, an
additional $25,000 has been accrued to this shareholder pursuant to the Jupiter
acquisition. During 1998 this shareholder received fees consisting of cash of
$60,000 and 66,667 shares of restricted AMSE stock [which were issued pursuant
to the Dow acquisition (see Note 8)].
OTHER
During 1999, the Company's president purchased a vehicle for $5,000, which
was approximately net book value at the time of sale. At December 31, 1999, the
Company's president owed the Company approximately $20,700 (including accrued
interest) under notes bearing interest at 5%. At December 31, 1998, the
Company's President owed the Company $22,500 under notes bearing interest at 5%.
The note outstanding at December 31, 1998 was repaid on January 28, 1999.
A shareholder received fees for services during 1999 consisting of 5,200
shares valued at $17,550 for investment services.
NOTE 8 - ACQUISITION ACTIVITIES
DOW GUARANTEE
The acquisition of Dow was completed on July 31, 1998 and was accounted for
as a purchase. Identified tangible assets and liabilities were recorded at their
F-13
<PAGE> 32
estimated fair market values and the excess of the total cost over the net fair
values of identified assets and liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The
purchase price for these assets totaled $3,782,757, with 550,000 shares of
common stock of the Company being issued to the sellers (valued at $3,437,500),
costs of $171,111 (including 66,667 shares issued to the Company's investment
banker), and assumed liabilities of $174,146. The cost of the acquisition was
allocated to tangible assets and goodwill totaling $363,303 and $3,419,454,
respectively. As a result, Dow became a wholly owned subsidiary of AMSE on this
date. The financial statements of the Company include the operating results of
the acquired entity since the date of acquisition. The acquisition agreement
with Dow also contains an agreement value guarantee; see Note 9.
CAPITAL FUNDING
On January 29, 1999, AMSE completed the acquisition of Capital Funding in a
tax-free stock exchange. Management of AMSE placed a value of $1,551,648 on the
221,664 shares of common stock issued to the shareholders of Capital Funding, a
valuation that was based on the common stock's trading level during the time the
acquisition was completed. In addition to the shares of stock issued AMSE also
paid $300,000 in cash to the sellers, incurred costs of approximately $163,800
(including 16,000 shares issued to AMSE's investment banker) and assumed
liabilities of approximately $120,000. The cost of the acquisition was allocated
to the assets using the purchase accounting method approximately as follows:
Depreciable tangible property and equipment $ 78,000
Receivables and other current assets, net 108,500
Other assets 67,000
Total liabilities (160,000)
Goodwill 1,922,000
-----------
Total $ 2,015,500
===========
As a result, Capital Funding became a wholly owned subsidiary of AMSE on
this date. The financial statements of the Company include the operating results
of the acquired entity since the date of acquisition. The acquisition agreement
with Capital Funding also contains an aggregate value guarantee; see Note 9.
JUPITER
On August 18, 1999, AMSE completed the acquisition of Jupiter in a tax-free
stock exchange. Management of AMSE placed a value of $2,500,000 on the 360,750
shares of common stock issued to the shareholders of Jupiter, a valuation that
was based on the common stock's trading level during the time the acquisition
was completed. In addition to the shares of stock issued AMSE also paid $500,000
in cash to the sellers, incurred costs of approximately $151,300 and assumed
liabilities of approximately $349,300. The cost of the acquisition was allocated
to the assets using the purchase accounting method approximately as follows:
Depreciable tangible property and equipment $ 125,100
Receivables and other current assets, net 82,790
Other assets 12,000
Total liabilities (349,300)
Goodwill 3,280,710
-----------
Total $ 3,151,300
===========
As a result, Jupiter became a wholly owned subsidiary of AMSE on this date.
The financial statements of the Company include the operating results of the
acquired entity since the date of acquisition. The acquisition agreement with
Jupiter also contains an aggregate value guarantee; see Note 9.
MERGER OF CAPITAL FUNDING INTO JUPITER
On September 30, 1999, AMSE, pursuant to a merger agreement, transferred its
ownership interest in Capital Funding to Jupiter and Jupiter became the sole
surviving entity. Since no change in the ultimate ownership of the merged
entities occurred, this transfer was recorded at historical cost in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
On October 8, 1999, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with
Senior Income Reverse Mortgage Corporation ("Senior Income") under which AMSE
will purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
Senior Income. As of March 31, 2000, the closing of this transaction is pending.

<PAGE> 33
On February 3, 2000, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement
with Pinnacle Financial Corporation ("Pinnacle") under which AMSE will purchase
all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Pinnacle. As of
March 31, 2000, the closing of this transaction is pending and this agreement
has expired on March 31, 2000. An extension to June 30, 2000 has been proposed.

CONTINGENT STOCK ISSUES
DOW GUARANTEE
In conjunction with the acquisition of Dow in July 1998, the Company agreed
to an aggregate value guarantee for the 550,000 shares of the Company's common
stock issued in that transaction. If, at such time a registration statement has
been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
initial measurement date) and the value of the shares at that date is not at
least $2,750,000, then the Company shall issue additional shares of its common
stock so that the total shares received by the former Dow shareholders
multiplied by the then fair market value (as defined) equals $2,750,000. There
is also an additional measurement date if an underwriter of a public offering of
the Company's stock imposes a lock-up on the stock issued to the former Dow
shareholders; this date is one year after the expiration of the lock-up period,
and the adjustment formula is similar to the initial formula. As of March 31,
2000, no shares are due to the former shareholders of Dow, as the event to
trigger the initial measurement date has not occurred.
CAPITAL FUNDING
In conjunction with the acquisition of Capital Funding on January 29, 1999,
the Company agreed to an aggregate value guarantee for the 221,664 shares of the
Company's common stock issued in that transaction. If the value of the shares
issued in the acquisition are not at least $6.42 per share on January 29, 2000,
the Company must issue additional shares so that the total shares received
multiplied by the then market value (as defined) equals this guaranteed amount.
As of January 29, 2000, the first year anniversary of this transaction the value
of the shares issued in the acquisition were less than $6.42 per share. The
maximum shares issuable pursuant to this provision, as of the January 29, 2000
measurement date, is 489,878 shares. The Company is currently in negotiations
with the former Capital Funding shareholders regarding this matter and others,
and as of March 31, 2000, a final resolution has not been made.
JUPITER MORTGAGE
In conjunction with the acquisition of Jupiter on August 18, 1999, the
Company agreed to an aggregate value guarantee for the 360,750 shares of the
Company's common stock issued in that transaction. If the value of the shares
issued in the acquisition are not at least $7.00 per share at the first
anniversary of the transaction, i.e. August 2000, the Company must issue
additional shares so that the total shares received multiplied by the then
market value (as defined) equals this guaranteed amount. As of March 31, 2000,
no shares are due to the former shareholders of Jupiter, as the anniversary date
has not occurred.

VISTRA GROWTH PARTNERS, INC.
In February 2000, AMSE entered into a termination agreement with its former
financial advisor, Vistra Growth Partners, Inc; and Louis Weltman. The number of
shares potentially to be issued was determined based on Vistra's efforts and
services prior to the termination and were to be earned upon the closing of
certain open matters. Management believes that it is probable that some or all
of these shares may not be issued. If all the events as defined in the
termination agreement were to be concluded as contemplated and the former
financial advisor were to comply with other material aspects of the agreement
the Company could issue up to 1,092,857 shares. All such shares would be
restricted and subject to conditions regarding voting rights and re-sale. Since
February 2000 certain of the trigger events have undergone changes in both
structure and certainty. Therefore, management now believes that the number of
shares ultimately issued could be substantially less than named in the document.
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DEBENTURES, AND WARRANTS
As described in Note 5, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued $2,500,000 of 3% convertible
debentures, which are due on May 6, 2002, and common stock purchase warrants for
34,383 shares at $8.70 per share, which expire on May 31, 2004. Warrants were
also issued to placement agents involved in this transaction in the aggregate of
17,241 warrants with an exercise price of $8.70 and an expiration date of May
31, 2004. The Securities Purchase Agreement, among other terms, allows the
Company to require the buyer to purchase additional convertible debentures up to
$7,500,000, as long as AMSE's stock price remains above $ 5.75 per share. The
holder of the debentures may take the interest in either cash or Company common
stock. The debentures are convertible into common stock at the option of the
holder. The conversion price is the lower of (a) $8.70 per share, or (b) 85% of
the average closing bid price for the common stock for five of the past 20
trading days ending immediately before the conversion. In connection with the
placement of this convertible debenture, the Company issued 185,548 shares of
common stock and paid $268,800 in fees to consultants and placement agents,
which resulted in additional costs recognized of approximately $1,491,600.
In October 1999, the debenture holder converted $750,000 of the principal of
the debenture into 152,260 shares of the Company's common stock. Interest
expense associated with the conversion was approximately $1,300 and was paid by
the issuance of shares of common stock.
Subsequent to December 31, 1999, an additional $613,995 of the principal of
the debenture was converted by the debenture holder into 372,223 shares of the
Company common stock.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
During 1999, a total of 151,300 restricted shares of the Company's common
stock were granted to certain employees with a market value of $151,300. This
amount was recorded as unearned compensation, restricted stock and is shown as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. Unearned compensation is being
amortized to expense over the three-year vesting period and, net of forfeitures,
amounted to $46,486 in 1999.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
On March 15, 1999, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of
a stock option plan. The plan calls for a maximum of 2,000,000 incentive stock
options and 500,000 non-qualified stock options to be issued, at the discretion
of the Board of Directors, over the next ten years. As of March 31, 2000, no
options have been granted.
Terms of the options, when issued, are as follows: (a) for non-qualified
options, the term of the option may not exceed ten years, the options may be
granted to any eligible person with the remaining terms to be determined by the
designated Board Committee; and (b) for incentive options, the term of the
option may not exceed ten years, the exercise price may not be less than the
fair market value of the optioned share on the date of grant, the option may
contain vesting provisions, and the option may contain other terms to be
determined by the designated Board Committee.
When options are granted under this plan, the Company will account for such
options under SFAS No. 123 which requires entities that account for awards of
stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with APB 25 to present pro
forma disclosures of results of operations and earnings per share. This pro
forma disclosure presents the results of operations as if compensation cost was
measured at the date of grant based on the fair value of the award. The fair
value for options will be estimated, at the date of grant, using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model uses the following
weighted-average assumptions, (a) a risk-free interest rate, (b) a dividend
yield, (c) a volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's
common stock and (d) the weighted-average expected life of the options. The
F-17
<PAGE> 36
Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases office space in various locations as well as certain
office equipment and a vehicle. Future minimum lease payments subsequent to
December 31, 1999 under these operating leases are as follows: $329,632 in 2000,
$286,991 in 2001, $179,112 in 2002, $138,026 in 2003 and $92,004 in 2004. Rent
expense for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 $415,224 and $60,841,
respectively.
LITIGATION
From time to time, the Company is exposed to claims, regulatory, and legal
actions in the normal course of business, some of which are initiated by the
Company. At December 31, 1999, management believes that any such outstanding
issues will be resolved without significantly impairing the financial condition
of the Company.
In December 1998, the Company advanced $250,000 to a then potential
acquisition target pursuant to a promissory note. The note is secured by 263,445
unrestricted and 2,148,500 restricted shares of the target's stock, which have
an aggregate value of approximately $361,000 at December 31, 1999. The note is
non-interest bearing and presently has no due date. The Company has commenced
litigation to collect the note. This note is recorded as other assets on the
accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 1999 and 1998.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING
On October 8, 1999, the Company engaged a placement agent in connection with
a private placement offering of up to $50 million of debt and equity securities
(the "Offering"). For the year ended December 31, 1999 the Company has expended
approximately $40,000 in connection with the Offering. The terms of Offering are
as follows: (a) a placement fee equal to 10% of the gross capital raised, (b)
warrants to purchase up to 10% of the number of shares or securities sold with
an exercise price equal to 120% of the price paid by investors, (c) payment of
miscellaneous expenses equal to 2% of the Offering amount and (d) a termination
fee equal to $100,000 if the Company terminates the agreement within six months
from the above date. If the Offering is not completed within the first six month
period the agreement will automatically renew for a successive period of six
months unless either party terminates the agreement.
NOTE 11 - NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, basic and diluted weighted
average common shares include only common shares outstanding. The inclusion of
common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive and, as such, they are not
included. However, the common stock equivalents, if converted, would have
increased common shares outstanding at December 31, 1999 by 869,123 shares.
There were no common stock equivalents at December 31, 1998.
A reconciliation of the number of common shares shown as outstanding in the
consolidated financial statements with the number of shares used in the
computation of weighted average common shares outstanding is shown below:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act provides a "safe harbor" for
forward-looking statements. Certain statements included in this Form 10-QSB are
forward looking and are based on the Company's current expectations and are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ significantly from results expressed or implied in any forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company assumes no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein or that may
be made from time to time by, or on behalf of, the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the three-month period ending September 30, 2000 increased by
49% to $1,516,140, up from $1,013,321 for the three-month period ending
September 30, 1999. This growth in revenues is primarily attributable to the
contribution of the Jupiter Mortgage Corporation ("Jupiter") subsidiary, which
was acquired by the Company in August 1999 and whose results were only partially
included in the Company's 3rd quarter 1999 results. Revenues for the nine-month
period ending September 30, 2000 increased by 64% to $4,922,941, up from
$2,989,009 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 1999. Jupiter Mortgage
Corporation was the primary factor for this increase. Revenues for Jupiter
Mortgage Corporation for the nine-months ended September 30, 2000 increased by
63% to $3,480,263 up from $2,129,867 for the nine-month period ending September
30, 1999. See the Pro-forma financial statements including Jupiter, presented on
page 7 herein for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Total Expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared
to the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 increased to $1,828,722 from
$1,581,547. This increase in expenses is partially attributable to the inclusion
of the Jupiter subsidiary, which was a part of the Company from mid August
through September during the third quarter of 1999. Total expenses for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1999 decreased to $6,326,712 from $7,863,599. Jupiter
Mortgage Corporation was the primary factor for increasing total expenses, as it
was not a part of the Company's 1999 results. Overall the total expenses
decreased due to a one-time impairment adjustment for approximately 2.3 million
related to the purchase of Dow Mortgage, which is reflected in the Company's
1999 results. In addition the Company, pursuant to terms of those certain
acquisition agreements with Senior Income Reverse Mortgage Corporation and
Pinnacle Financial Corporation, wrote down the acquisition costs and deposits
related thereto, as these acquisitions were not consummated and the agreements
terminated pursuant to their terms. These costs were approximately $591,000.
Total other expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000,
compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 increased to $22,082
from $9,669. This increase is due to an increase in interest expense. Total
other expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 decreased to $64,067 from
$470,151. This is attributable to the interest expense of the convertible
benefit of the debentures in the amount of $441,176.
In summary, for the 3rd quarter 2000, the Company's loss was reduced from
$577,226 in 1999 (8.2 cents per share) to 334,664 in 2000 (3.7 cents per share).
This reduction represents an improvement of $242,562 or 43%.
In summary, for the year to date 2000 (through 9/30/2000) the Company's loss
was reduced from $5,349,741 in 1999 (79.5 cents per share) to $1,467,838 in 2000
(16.4 cents per share). This reduction represents an improvement of $3,881,903
or 72%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company is currently managing the payment of our current liabilities and
obligations on a monthly basis as cash becomes available. Although no assurances
can be made for future periods, based on our September results and the results
in general from the third quarter 2000, the Company believes that it is now cash
flow neutral. During the second quarter, the Company paid off several
outstanding lines of credit, retiring $210,000 in short term debt. The Company
executed a secured convertible demand promissory note with a third party, which
retired the above-mentioned lines of credit and provided the Company with
additional working capital. The Company also funded certain types of loans
through such third party's mortgage subsidiary.
The Company issued $2,500,000 of convertible debentures in May 1999. Each
debenture is convertible into common stock. The number of shares of common stock
that may be issued upon conversion of the debentures depends upon the market
price of our common stock at the time of the conversion. At September 30, 2000,
only 1,153,045 of the original 2,500,000 have not been converted into common
stock. Based upon the recent price of common stock of approximately $0.45, if
the debentures were converted into common stock, the Company would issue
2,562,322 shares of common stock. Subject to certain criteria regarding trading
price and activity of the Company's common stock, the Company may issue up to
$7,500,000 of additional convertible debentures. These criteria are not
currently met. During 1999, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 34,483
shares of our common stock to the purchaser of the debentures and will issue
more warrants in the event of the sale of additional debentures. The material
risk associated with this type of debenture is that the Company's recent
historically low stock price could have a significant dilutive effect upon
future conversions of the principle amount of the debenture. In May 2000 the
Company refused the debenture holder's request to convert $75,000 of debentures
into approximately 400,000 shares of common stock. As a result, the debenture
holder accelerated the due date of the outstanding debentures and filed suit for
damages, which the Company intends to vigorously defend. See "Part II, Item 1.
Legal Proceedings." As a result it is unlikely that further debentures will be
issued.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dow Guarantee Corp. (the

operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Dow Guarantee Corp. as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows

Company were acquired by America's Senior Financial Services, Inc.

DOW GUARANTEE CORP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Dow Guarantee Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated on March 20,
1985. The Company is a licensed mortgage lender in the State of Florida
and is engaged in originating, processing, and funding mortgage loan
applications.
On July 31, 1998, the shareholders of the Company exchanged all of the
issued and outstanding common stock of the Company to America's Senior
Financial Services, Inc. ("AMSE") for 550,000 shares of AMSE common stock
in a tax-free transaction. As a result, the Company became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of AMSE on that date. In accordance with applicable accounting
principles, this transaction has been recorded as a purchase of the
Company by AMSE for financial reporting purposes. Management of AMSE has
placed a value of $3,437,500 on the common stock of AMSE issued to the
shareholders of the Company. This value was determined at a discount from
the common stock's trading level during the time the transaction was
completed, as the shares are restricted as to transfer. According to
"push down" accounting rules, this transaction, including costs incurred,
is recorded on the books of the Company. As a result, the recorded values
of the assets and liabilities of the Company were adjusted to their fair
values at that date and goodwill was recorded for the excess of the
purchase price over the net fair value.
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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CREDIT RISKS
The Company derives its revenues primarily from mortgage application
fees paid by potential borrowers and from brokerage and processing fees
payable by the borrower and others at the time of closing. The brokerage
and processing fees are recognized as revenue at the time the loans are
closed.
The Company operates in the mortgage banking industry, therefore, it
is highly dependent on the status of the economy and interest rates.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The excess of investment cost over the fair value of net assets
acquired (goodwill) is being amortized over a period of 20 years.
Amortization of goodwill in the amount of $71,239 was charged to
operations in 1998.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is recorded at acquisition cost and depreciated
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Useful lives range from five to seven years. Expenditures for
routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
ADVERTISING
The costs of advertising, promotion, and marketing programs are
charged to operations in the year incurred. Advertising expense was
$30,717 and $31,002 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
F-33
<PAGE> 52
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted
tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse. The Company anticipates filing a consolidated return with AMSE.
The tax provision shown on the accompanying statement of operations was
calculated as if the Company filed a separate income tax return.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company
occasionally maintains cash balances in financial institutions in excess
of the federally insured limits.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are
reflected in the financial statements at fair value because of the
short-term maturity of those instruments.
STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
A statement of comprehensive income has not been included, per SFAS
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as the Company has no items of
other comprehensive income.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation.
NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31, 1998
and 1997:
1998 1997
--------- ----------
Office equipment $ 77,906 $ 122,116
Furniture and fixtures 15,445 57,271
Leasehold improvements 31,080 5,991
--------- ----------
Total cost 124,431 185,378
Less: Accumulated depreciation (7,829) (146,265)
--------- ----------
Property and equipment, net $ 116,602 $ 39,113
========= ==========
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
was $26,409 and $25,483, respectively. At July 31, 1998, the historical
cost of all property and equipment was adjusted to fair value in
connection with an acquisition (see Note 1).
NOTE 3 - CREDIT AGREEMENTS
LINES OF CREDIT
In October 1996, the Company established two credit lines with a
financial institution. The credit lines are guaranteed by an officer and
former shareholder. The total amount available under the agreements is
$50,000. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, no amounts were used from the
credit facilities.
F-34
<PAGE> 53
MORTGAGE WAREHOUSING AGREEMENT
In May 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial
institution to provide a $1,000,000 mortgage warehousing facility that
assists the Company in originating and closing mortgages. The Company is
liable under the agreement only if there is a default during a mortgage
closing process. There were no amounts owed under this agreement as of
December 31, 1998 or 1997. Interest paid during 1998 for borrowings under
this agreement totaled $16,094.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
A summary of income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997 is as follows:
1998 1997
--------- -----
Currently payable:
Federal $ -- $ 800
State -- 20
Deferred benefit from net operating loss (14,050) --
Valuation allowance 14,050 --
--------- -----
Total income tax provision $ -- $ 820
========= =====
The tax provision differs from the Federal statutory rate of 34%
because of non-deductible expenses (including the goodwill amortization),
the surtax exemptions and rate brackets, and the effect of state income
taxes. There are no significant deferred tax assets or liabilities other
than from the net operating loss.
The Company has recorded a valuation allowance in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 109 to reflect the estimated amount of deferred
tax assets that may not be realized. In assessing the realizability of
deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
The Company has available tax net operating loss carryovers as of
December 31, 1998 of approximately $84,400.
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
OFFICE LEASE
The Company leases office space in various locations, as well as
certain office equipment. Future minimum lease payments subsequent to
December 31, 1998 under these operating leases are as follows: $94,956 in
years 1999 and 2000, $93,293 in 2001, and $12,956 in years 2002 and 2003.
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 totaled
$86,725, and $92,633, respectively.
LITIGATION
From time to time, the Company is exposed to claims, regulatory, and
legal actions in the normal course of business, some of which may be
initiated by the Company. At December 31, 1998, management believes that
any such outstanding issues will be resolved without significantly
impairing the financial condition of the Company.

CAPITAL FUNDING OF SOUTH FLORIDA, INCORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Capital Funding of South Florida, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated
on August 29, 1994. The Company is a licensed mortgage lender in the State
of Florida and is engaged in originating, processing, and funding mortgage
loan applications.
On January 29, 1999, the shareholders of the Company exchanged all of
the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company to America's Senior
Financial Services, Inc. ("AMSE") for 221,664 shares of AMSE common stock in
a tax-free transaction. As a result, the Company became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of AMSE on that date.
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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CREDIT RISKS
The Company derives its revenues primarily from mortgage application
fees paid by potential borrowers and from brokerage and processing fees
payable by the borrower and others at the time of closing. The brokerage and
processing fees are recognized as revenue at the time the loans are closed.
The Company operates in the mortgage banking industry, therefore, it is

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is recorded at acquisition cost and depreciated
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Useful lives range from five to seven years. Expenditures for
routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
ADVERTISING
The costs of advertising, promotion, and marketing programs are charged
to operations in the year incurred. Advertising expense was $15,955 for the
year ended December 31, 1998.
INCOME TAXES
The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected under the
Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation. In lieu of corporation income
taxes, shareholders of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate
share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability
for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements.
On January 29, 1999, as a result of the acquisition by AMSE of the
Company's common stock, the Company ceased to be an S corporation.

purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company
occasionally maintains cash balances in financial institutions in excess of
the federally insured limits.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and notes
payable are reflected in the financial statements at fair value because of
the short-term maturity of those instruments.
STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Office and other equipment $ 78,100
Furniture and fixtures 13,125

Less: Accumulated depreciation (51,619)
---------
Property and equipment, net $ 79,983
=========

The balance sheet caption, "other assets," includes property not currently
in use in the operation of the Company; a valuation allowance of $33,786 was
charged to earnings in 1998 to reduce this property to its estimated net
realizable value of $66,514.
NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE
The Company has two credit lines with financial institutions. The
balances due at December 31, 1998 were $61,455, with interest at 10.25%, and

and are guaranteed by a shareholder.
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
OFFICE LEASE
The Company leases office space in various locations, as well as certain
office equipment. Future minimum lease payments subsequent to December 31,
1998 under these operating leases are as follows: $43,900 in 1999, $24,000
in 2000, and $12,000 in 2001. Rent expense for the year ended December 31,

LITIGATION
From time to time, the Company is exposed to claims, regulatory, and

such outstanding issues will be resolved without significantly impairing the
financial condition of the Company.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
NOTES RECEIVABLE
Two shareholders each owe the Company $50,000 under promissory notes
dated December 31, 1997. Both notes bear interest at 6% per annum and the
interest is payable annually on December 31st. The notes are due on January
1, 2004. The interest due December 31, 1998 was not paid and is therefore
recorded as a receivable from shareholders.
The fair value of these notes is not subject to reasonable estimation
because of their related party nature.

JUPITER MORTGAGE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
Jupiter Mortgage Corporation, Inc. (the Company), is a Florida Corporation
incorporated on June 29, 1984. The Company is a licensed correspondent mortgage
lender in the Palm Beach County Florida area.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less. The company occasionally maintains
cash balances in financial institutions in excess of the federally insured
limits.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Improvements are capitalized if they have a useful life of more than one year.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is
computed using various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
directly affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
continent 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 these estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CREDIT RISKS
The company derives its revenues primarily from mortgage application fees paid
by potential borrowers and from brokerage and processing fees payable by the
borrower and others at the time of closing. The brokerage and processing fees
are recognized as revenue at the time the loans are closed.
The Company operates in the mortgage banking industry, therefore, it is highly
dependent on the status of the economy and interest rates.
ADVERTISING
The costs of advertising, promotion, and marketing programs are charged to
operations in the year incurred. Advertising expense was $44,128 and $44,621 for
the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S Corporation.
In lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders are taxed on their
proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or
liability for income taxes is included in the financial statements.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected in
the financial statements at fair value because of the short-term maturity of
those instruments.
STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
A statement of comprehensive income has not been included, per SFAS 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", as the Company has no items of other
comprehensive income.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1998 presentation.
2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consists of the following:

and $22,084, respectively.
3. CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
LINES OF CREDIT
The Company has two lines of credit. One is a $50,000 line which expires
September 30, 1999, with interest at 11% paid monthly. The second line, entered
into in 1998, is for $50,000 with interest at 11% paid monthly. At December 31,
1998 and 1997, approximately $94,000 and $36,000, respectively, was outstanding
on the lines. The lines are personally guaranteed by the Company's shareholders.
MORTGAGE WAREHOUSING AGREEMENT
During 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution
to provide a $2,000,000 mortgage warehousing facility that assists the Company
in originating and closing mortgages. The Company becomes liable under the
agreement if the loans are not resold and all amounts in process at December 31,
1998 were subsequently sold. Interest paid during 1998 was less than $5,000. The
line is personally guaranteed by the Company's shareholders.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
OFFICE LEASES
The Company operated six offices during 1998 (4 in 1997) with aggregate monthly
rents approximating $7,000 and $5,000 during most of the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. One of the offices is leased on a
month-to-month basis. The other leases expire at various times through November
2003. The leases are personally guaranteed by the Company's shareholders.
Minimum future commitments under existing leases are as follows:
1998 1997
--------- ------
1999 $ 107,700 $ 37,800
2000 $ 107,400 $ 23,000
2001 $ 83,800 $ 19,200
2002 $ 79,700 $ --
2003 $ 69,100 $ --
LITIGATION

actions in the normal course of business, some of which may be initiated by the
Company. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, management believes that any such
outstanding issues will be resolved without significantly impairing the
financial condition of the Company.
