with the Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 1999 of Vestin Group,

Financial data for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to
reflect the effect of the recent mergers with L.L. Bradford & Company, Vestin

necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair
statement of such operation. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature.

NOTE 6 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "commission")
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 summarizes certain of the Commission's views in
applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition. The
Company has applied the provisions for SAB 101 in the financial information
presented herein.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The new standard
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instrument,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all quarters of the fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. We do not expect SFAS No. 133 to have a
material effect on our financial conditions or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in Item 1 of
this Quarterly Report, the Form 8-K/A filed on June 13, 2000, and the form
10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 1999 of Vestin Group, Inc.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB the words or phrases "will
likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," or similar
expressions are intended to identify "forward looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to
changes in interest rates, the Company's dependence on debt financing and
securitizations to fund operations, and fluctuations in operating results. Such
factors, which are discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, could affect the Company's
financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future
periods to differ materially from any opinion or statements expressed herein
with respect to future periods. As a result, the Company wishes to caution
readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements,
which speak only as of the date made.
The following financial review and analysis is intended to assist in
understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.
This information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
accompanying notes included in this quarterly report.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Vestin Group, Inc., formerly known as Sunderland Corporation, provides
financial services primarily within the Southwestern United States. In the
past, the Company's sole business activity had been offering income
investment to private investors using short-term loans secured by real
estate, primarily for commercial and residential developers. The Company is
currently diversifying its operations to provide an array of financial
services, including income-producing investments, financial consulting,
corporate finance, Internet financial services, insurance and investment
services as more fully described below. As a result, the Company's past
performance is not an indication of future operating results.
Since January 1, 2000, the Company has significantly expanded the range of its
financial products and services and its geographical reach and has reorganized
into three divisions: Lending/Income Investments, Financial Services, and
Internet Services.
LENDING/INCOME INVESTMENTS
Vestin, through the Company's Lending/Income Investment Division, is one of
the nation's largest lenders of private funds. Its largest subsidiary,
Vestin Mortgage, Inc. (formerly Capsource, Inc., doing business as Del Mar
Mortgage), has facilitated more than $700 million in lending transactions
for the last three years without the loss of principal or interest to any
of its 4,500 investors.
The division's primary operation involves real estate collateralized income
investments. Vestin uses its own resources along with funds from private
investors to originate loans to real estate developers and owners for land
acquisitions, development, residential construction, commercial
constructions and "mezzanine" loans. The average term of the loans
originated by the Company is one year.
The Lending/Income Division generates revenue from several sources
including:
(i) Loan origination fees ranging from 2-4% of the loan
(ii) Administrative fees on the loans it originates, and
6
<PAGE>
(iii) Loan progress fees equal to the difference between the interest
rate collected from borrowers and the interest rate paid to
investors/institutional sources.
Because of the expediency of the Company's loan approval and funding
process (typically 10-20 days) compared to other conventional lenders
(typically 30-120 days), borrowers have been willing to pay a higher
interest rate. Accordingly, this high rate of interest on a secured
investment attracts investors willing to fund such loans.
Following the Company's strategic growth plan, DM Mortgage Advisors, Inc.
was acquired in January 2000. DM Mortgage Advisors, Inc. is an Arizona
based mortgage company that provides access to that state's fast growing
real estate markets.
On August 31, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of all the
outstanding capital stock of Mortgage Source, Inc. (MSI) in exchange for
approximately 251,000 shares of the Company's common stock. MSI is a Las
Vegas based mortgage company that performs conventional residential lending
and is licensed in 13 states. The acquisition will significantly increase
the Company's range of products and services. MSI completed more than $63
million in residential home loans in 1999. It intends to be licensed in all
50 states and is seeking to open offices in Utah, Idaho and two additional
locations in Nevada by year-end. In addition to their conforming home
loans, MSI specializes in zero-down mortgages and second chance loans for
consumers with average credit. MSI generates 10 percent of its loans
through its website, www.ezlend.com.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
The Company is rapidly expanding its financial services division to
provide clients with multiple products through various resources
available to the Company. Collectively, the products and services are
intended to allow clients to integrate a wide variety of financial
planning products through the Vestin Group.
In the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2000, the Company completed a merger
with L.L. Bradford and Company, one of the largest accounting and
consulting firms in Las Vegas, Nevada. The merger significantly expands the
range of financial products and services offered by the Financial Services
Division, including consulting, accounting, tax, estate planning and other
financial services.
The Company began building a national financial services network with the
acquisition in the early part of 2000 of Vestin Capital, Inc., formerly DM
Financial Services, Inc. Vestin Capital is registered as a broker-dealer in
49 states. Vestin Capital, Inc. will provide various insurance and mutual
fund products to the Company's clients. In addition, Vestin Mortgage, Inc.,
formerly Capsource Inc. dba Del Mar Mortgage, is the manager of DM Mortgage
Investors, LLC, ("the Fund") which invests in mortgage loans secured by
commercial and residential real property, primarily in Nevada, Arizona and
California (including properties under construction). In August 2000, the
Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Form S-11
registration statement of the Fund for the offer and sale of 10,000,000
units for $10.00 per unit. As of September 30, 2000, approximately
2,000,000 units of the Fund's units were sold.
INTERNET SERVICES
The Company is implementing plans to offer financial services on the
Internet. To date, such operations have not generated any revenues.

Net Income. For the third quarter of 2000, net income increased $0.2 million, or
22%, to $1.1 million from $.9 million for the third quarter of 1999. Basic and
fully diluted earnings per common share increased to $.15 compared to $.13 per
share for the third quarter of 1999 on average common shares of 7,240,681 for
both periods.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, net income increased $1.0 million,
or 40%, to $3.5 million from $2.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999. Basic and fully diluted earnings per common share increased to $.48
compared to $.35 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
The increase in net income and earnings per share primarily resulted from higher
origination fees and growth in volume of loans originated from the Company's
lending/Income Investment division during the period.
Financial data for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to
reflect the effect of the recent mergers with L.L. Bradford & Company, Vestin
Capital, Inc., DM Mortgage Advisors, Inc., and Mortgage Source, Inc.
each of which was accounted for as a pooling of interest transaction.
Total Revenues. For the third quarter of 2000, total revenues increased $1.0
million, or 27%, to $4.6 million from $3.6 million for the third quarter of
1999. Growth in total revenues primarily resulted from increased loan
origination fees from the Company's lending services division in the third
quarter of 2000, as a result of increased origination rates. The average loan
origination fee approximated 5% for the third quarter ended September 30, 2000
as compared to 3.6% for the third quarter of 1999.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, total revenues increased $2.8
million, or 27%, to $13.0 million from $10.2 million for nine months ended
September 30, 1999. Growth in total revenues primarily resulted from increased
loan origination fees from the Company's lending services division and increased
loan volume by approximately $13.0 million, or 10%, to $144.7 million from
$131.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Total Expenses. For the third quarter of 2000, total expenses increased $0.6
million or 30% as compared to the third quarter of 1999. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, total expenses increased $1.3 million, or 19%, to $7.7
million from $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
increase in total expenses in both periods is primarily related to advertising
costs paid in connection with DM Mortgage Investors, LLC and an increase on
general operating expenses as a result of increased revenues.

<PAGE>
CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is a measure of a company's ability to meet potential cash
requirements, including ongoing commitments to fund lending activities and for
general operation purposes. Cash for originating loans and general operating
expenses is primarily obtained through cash flows from operations, lines of
credit and private investors. As of September 30, 2000, lines of credit
exceeding $10 million were available.
The Company continues to significantly rely on access to private investors for
funding of its lending activities through real estate collateralized
investments. As a result of real estate collateralized investments, the Company
has been able to increase its cash flow from its lending activities. The Company
currently has its private investors placed in approximately 120 real estate
collateralized investments totaling $272 million. The Company will need to seek
new investors to support its continued growth in the lending activities.
In August 2000, the Securities Exchange Commissions (SEC), declared effective
the registration statement of DM Mortgage Investors, LLC (the "Fund") under
which it will offer up to 10,000,000 units at $10 per unit. The Fund will invest
in loans secured by real property originated and managed by Vestin Mortgage,
Inc. thereby providing additional investment funds for originating loans. As of
September 30, 2000, the Fund sold approximately 2 million units for an
approximate total of $20 million of which $13.3 million has been invested in
loans brokered by Vestin Mortgage
The Company has historically relied upon the cash flow from operations to
provide for its capital requirements. Management believes that cash generated
from operations, together with cash and investments in loans on hand at
September 30, 2000 will be sufficient to provide for its capital requirements
for at least the next 12 months. The Company, in June 2000, obtained a
$3,000,000 unsecured line of credit from Silver State Bank in Las Vegas,
Nevada making a total of over $10,000,000 in lines of credit available from
various financial institutions. The Company may seek additional equity
financing for additional working capital in the early part of 2001 through an
offering of its common stock. Further, the Company will be actively seeking
additional credit line arrangements. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to complete a secondary offering or obtain credit lines.
During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, cash flows
provided by operating activities approximated $2.8 million. Investing activities
consisted primarily of the purchase of real estate collateralized investments in
the amount of $.8 million and an increase in notes receivable of approximately
$0.8 million. Financing activities consisted primarily of payments on lines of
credit of approximately $1.3 million.
At September 30, 2000, Vestin had $.9 million of cash and $14.2 million in total
assets. On the same date, total liabilities were $5.7 million. Accordingly,
Vestin appears to have sufficient working capital to meet its operating needs in
the near term without the need for additional external financing.
