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 8K filed on April 14, 2000, and the Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1999 of Sunderland Corporation.

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 months ended March 31, 2000. This information
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying
notes included in this quarterly report.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Sunderland Corporation, a diversified financial services organization and one of
the nation's largest private lenders has recently broadened its operations to
include the newly created financial services and investment divisions resulting
from the recent merger with L.L. Bradford and Company and the acquisition of DM
Financial Services, Inc. Sunderland has also expanded its mortgage lending
division with the acquisition of DM Mortgage Advisors, Inc. The Company now
delivers a broad spectrum of financial services through three divisions:
mortgage lending, financial services, and investments.

     Mortgage Lending:

     Sunderland Corporation, through its subsidiary, Capsource, Inc. dba Del Mar
     Mortgage (Del Mar), is a large commercial lender in the State of Nevada
     specializing in real estate investments and is licensed in the state of
     Nevada. The Company provides financing for residential and commercial
     construction projects as well as land acquisition and development. Del Mar
     has originated more than $500 million in loans in the last three years.

     The Company has also recently completed the acquisition of DM Mortgage
     Advisors, Inc., a mortgage company licensed in the state of Arizona. This
     acquisition is the first step in expanding the mortgage lending division to
     multiple states.

     Financial Services:

     Sunderland Corporation has recently completed a merger with L.L. Bradford
     and Company, one of the largest accounting and consulting firms in Las
     Vegas, Nevada. The merger will significantly expand the range of financial
     products and services offered by Sunderland's newly developed Financial
     Services Division. L.L. Bradford's President and founder, Lance Bradford,
     will oversee the Financial Services Division and also serve as Chief
     Financial Officer of Sunderland Corporation.

                                       5

     Investment Division:

     Sunderland Corporation has begun building a national financial services
     network with its acquisition of DM Financial Services, Inc., an investment
     securities broker-dealer registered in 18 states. In addition, Capsource,
     Inc. is the managing member of DM Mortgage Investors, LLC that will invest
     in mortgage loans secured by commercial and residential real property,
     primarily in Nevada, Arizona and California (including properties under
     construction). The loans will be selected for DM Mortgage Investors, LLC by
     Capsource, Inc., its managing member. In April 2000, DM Mortgage Investors,
     LLC filed a form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an
     offer and sale of 100,000,000 units for $1.00 per unit.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 and 1999

Revenue. The Company reported revenues of $3.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, an increase from $2.1 million in the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenue was primarily due to a 40% increase in total loans
funded. The Company also increased its origination fees assessed to four percent
compared to three percent in the same period of the prior year.

Sales and Marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $.2 million in the same
period in 1999. The increase is primarily related to marketing fees paid as a
result of a transition agreement consummated in the second quarter of 1999. The
transition agreement expires in the second quarter of 2000.

General and Administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $1.2
million in the same three months of 1999. The company has implemented a budget
committee for the sole purpose of tracking and minimizing general and
administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses in
proportion to the increase in revenues is minimal primarily due to the
effectiveness of the budget committee.

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 purposes. Cash for originating loans and general operating expenses is
primarily obtained through cash flows from operations and private investors.

The Company has significant ongoing liquidity needs to support its existing
business and continued growth. The Company's liquidity is actively managed on a
periodic basis and the Company's financial status, including its liquidity, is
reviewed periodically by the Company's management. This process is intended to
ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet the needs of the Company.

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 trust deed investments on hand at March
31, 2000 will be sufficient to provide for its capital requirements for at least
the next 12 months. The Company may seek additional equity financing for future
working capital and acquisitions in the latter part of 2000 through an offering
of its common stock, and contemplates that offering, before expenses relating to
the offering, will be no less than $15 million and no more than $20 million.
Further, the Company will be actively seeking initial credit line arrangements
of no less than $100 million. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to complete a secondary offering or obtain credit lines.

During the three months ended March 31, 2000, cash flows provided by operating
activities approximated $6,000 compared to $.5 million during the same period in
1999. Cash flows from investing activities provided $.6 million compared to $.4
million in the same period in 1999. Investing activities consisted primarily of
proceeds from sales of trust deed investments in the amount of $.6 million
during 2000. Cash flow from financing activities used $1 million compared to $.7
million in the same period in 1999. Financing activities primarily consisted of
payments on existing lines of credit during 2000.

                                       6

<PAGE>

At March 31, 2000, Sunderland had $0.7 million of cash and had $9.1 million in
current assets. On the same date, current liabilities approximated $3.6 million.
Accordingly, Sunderland appears to have sufficient working capital and capital
to meet its operating needs in the near term without the need for additional
external financing.
