                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 1998

                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1        

              The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and have been
              prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of
              the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
              financial disclosures normally included in financial statements
              prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
              principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
              and regulations. These statements include all adjustments
              consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the
              opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair
              presentation of financial position and results of operations.

              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
              make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
              amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ
              from those estimates.

NOTE 2        The results of operations of Transnational Financial Corporation
              ("the Company") for the six and three month periods ended June 30,
              1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
              expected for the full year.

NOTE 3        On June 24, 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering
              of it's common stock which became listed on the American Stock
              Exchange under the symbol TFN.

NOTE 4        On April 30, 1998, the Company changed its corporate charter from
              an "S" Corporation to that of a "C" Corporation for taxation
              purposes.

              During the first four months of 1998, the Company distributed
              Subchapter "S" earnings in the form of dividends to its existing
              stockholders of $493,180 in the form of cash. On April 30, 1998,
              the termination date of the subchapter "S" election, the Company's
              stockholders equity contained dividends of $146,367 to which
              shareholders, as of that date, were entitled to the distribution.
              As of June 30, 1998, these dividends were not distributed.

NOTE 5        Pro Forma Information

              Income Taxes - Through April 30, 1998, the Company was an S
              corporation for federal and California tax purposes. Accordingly,
              the accompanying financial statements do not include a provision
              for income taxes, with the exception of the 1.5% California tax on
              S corporations. Effective April 30, 1998, the Company terminated
              its S status and became a C corporation for tax purposes. The
              Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes and will
              recognize deferred taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
              Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income
              Taxes." SFAS No. 109 requires companies subject to income taxes to
              adjust their deferred tax assets and liabilities based on
              temporary differences between financial statement and tax basis of
              assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the
              years in which the differences are expected to reverse. For
              information purposes, the statement of income includes an
              unaudited pro forma income tax provision on income before income
              taxes for financial reporting purposes using federal and state
              rates that would have resulted if the Company had filed corporate
              tax returns during the period presented.


              Earnings Per Share - Pro forma earnings per share is computed by
              dividing pro forma net income be the pro forma number of shares of
              common stock outstanding during the respective period.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION



              The following discussion and analysis should be read in
              conjunction with the financial statements and the Notes thereto
              included as Item 1 of this Report. The discussion of results and
              trends does not necessarily imply that these results and trends
              will continue.

              Forward-Looking Information

              The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations and other sections of the Form 10-QSB
              contain forward-looking information. The forward-looking
              information involves risks and uncertainties that are based on
              current expectations, estimates and projections about the
              Company's business, management's beliefs and assumptions made by
              management. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "intends",
              "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", and variations of such
              words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
              forward-looking information. Therefore, actual outcomes and
              results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted
              in such forward-looking information due to numerous factors,
              including, but not limited to, availability of financing for
              operations, successful performance of internal operations, impact
              of competition, changes in distributor relationships or
              performance and other risks detailed below as well as those
              discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB and from time to time in
              the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings and
              reports. In addition, such statements could be affected by general
              economic and market conditions and growth rates.

GENERAL
              Transnational Financial Corporation ("TFN" or the "Company") is a
              wholesale and retail mortgage banker which originates, funds and
              sells mortgage loans secured by one to four family residential
              properties in the San Francisco Bay area. The Company sells all of
              its mortgage loans in the secondary market and all of the
              servicing rights associated with those mortgage loans. Since May,
              1995 the Company's growth has been focused and driven by the
              wholesale loan division. The wholesale division's mortgage loan
              volume increased to approximately $346,903,218 for the first six
              months of 1998 compared to $135,565,000 for the same six month
              period of 1997. The retail division's volume increased to
              approximately $57,040,650 for the first six months of 1998,
              compared to volume of $28,570,000 for the first six months of
              1997. Overall, the Company's loan volume grew by 146 percent for
              the first six months of 1998 compared to the first six months of
              1997.

              Public Offering adding net proceeds of $7,618,336 to its
              stockholders' equity to provide the capital infusion necessary to
              facilitate additional growth of the wholesale division as well as
              to lower the Company's overall cost of borrowing.

              As a result of the public offering and subsequent to the end of
              the second quarter, the Company has been able to negotiate, a
              warehouse line of credit with the execution of a facility
              syndicated with several banks providing up to $90 million and
              agented by Guaranty Federal Bank of Dallas. In addition, the
              Company has been able to secure a Whole Loan Purchase and Sales
              Agreement ("Gestation Repo Line") with Greenwich Capital. The
              Company anticipates that these new credit facilities will begin to
              reduce the Company's interest expense during the third quarter
              because its borrowings will be based on Libor plus 1.50% for the
              warehouse line and Libor plus 1% on the Gestation Repo line, both
              of which will significantly reduce interest expense in the future.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

              The Company's pro forma pre-tax income increased during the second
              quarter of 1998 to $384,573 from $109,153 in the second quarter of
              1997. Gross revenues grew as mortgage loan production for both
              wholesale and retail divisions grew by 82% during the second
              quarter of 1998 as compared to the second quarter of 1997. Gross
              revenues for the second quarter for 1998 were $1,937,559 compared
              to the second quarter of 1997 of $487,602 or an increase of 296%.

              With the exception of interest and occupancy expense, expenses
              generally increased proportionately to increases in revenues.
              Salaries and employee benefits as well as general and
              administrative expenses increased by 256% and 282%, respectively,
              decreasing as a percentage of revenue because of larger loan
              production. The Company hired additional senior management, began
              paying salaries to the President and the Chief Executive Officer,
              who prior to April 30, 1998, were compensated through stockholder
              draws.

              Occupancy costs increased approximately 40% from the second
              quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1998, but
              declined as a percentage of revenues from 7.2% in the earlier
              period compared to 2.5% in the 1997 period.

              Interest expenses, however, increased significantly and was 16.0%
              of revenue in the later period compared to 3.5% in the 1997
              period. The principal reason for the rate of increase exceeding
              that of revenue was because of a $100,000 equity participation fee
              paid to InSouth Bank for subordinated debt of $1,000,000 entered
              into by the Company in March of 1998. The Company paid this fee
              when it closed the public offering and paid off the subordinated
              debt. Other factors, however, also increased interest expense in
              the later period. Mortgage loan activity across the nation
              increased, resulting in delays by investors in purchasing
              mortgages from the Company's inventory and lengthening the average
              number of days between the time the Company funded a mortgage loan
              and when the mortgage loan was sold. In addition, the Company had
              increased borrowing expenses outside of its warehouse lines of
              credit because the Company's loan volume often exceeded the limits
              under the warehouse lines of credit.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

              The Company's pro forma pre-tax income for the first six months of
              1998 increased by 111% to $651,234 from $308,646 for the first six
              months of 1997. The increase is principally due to the Company's
              growth in revenues due to its wholesale mortgage loan production.
              Gross revenues for the first six months of 1998 were $3,223,823
              compared to revenues of $1,148,980 for the first six months of
              1997. An increase of 180%. Wholesale mortgage loan production for
              the first six months of 1998 was $346,903,000 compared to
              $135,565,000 for the first six months of 1997, for an increase of
              156%.

              Retail mortgage loan production also increased from $57,040,650
              for the first six months of 1998 compared to $28,570,000 for the
              first six months of 1997, an increase of 100%.

              While gross revenues grew approximately 180% from 1997 to 1998,
              expenses grew by 206%. Salaries and employee benefits accounted
              for 179% of the increase, while interest expense grew 832% for the
              reasons described above.
