                  ROYAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                November 30, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION

         Royal Financial Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the
"Company") is a real estate investment company with a portfolio consisting of a
manufactured housing community in Florida, undeveloped land in Florida zoned for
manufactured housing development, single family residential properties and
non-performing mortgage loans collateralized by residential and commercial real
estate properties. Most of the Company's current investment properties are
located in the state of Florida.

         The Company came into being in August 1998 when Royal Mortgage
Corporation and Davenport Ventures, Inc. merged and the name was changed to
Royal Financial Corporation. The controlling shareholder group of both companies
prior to the merger was substantially the same. Accordingly, the merger was
treated as a combination of entities under common control.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b)
of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the unaudited interim financial statements have been included. Operating results
for interim periods reflected are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for a full fiscal year. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended August 31, 1999 included in the Company's Form 10-KSB.

         Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

NOTE B - ACCOUNTING POLICY MATTERS

         In June, 1999, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) 43, "Real Estate
Sales (An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 66)", which defines real estate
more broadly than current practice. There is a very regimented threshold under
FASB 66 to achieve sale accounting (specifically, down payment requirements,
minimum investment provisions, absence of numerous forms of continuing
involvement, etc.). Under FIN 43, some transactions that would have been
accounted for as sales in the past will no longer be accounted for as sales
after June 30, 1999. All of the Company's investment properties fall under the
definition of real estate and thus are subject to FASB Statement No. 66.
Therefore, FIN 43 has no impact on the Company's financial statements.

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of", requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of and for which
management has committed to a plan to dispose of the assets, be reported at
the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company has
developed a plan to begin marketing the manufactured housing community.
Accordingly, the Company's investment in Property, Plant and Equipment -
Manufactured Housing Community is reflected in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of November 30, 1999 at the lower of carrying amount or fair
value less cost to sell and no depreciation has been recognized in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended
November 30, 1999.

NOTE C - MANAGEMENT'S PLANS FOR CONTINUED EXISTENCE

         As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred
net losses of $291,551 and $345,019 for the three months ended November 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively, and has incurred losses since inception. Management's
plans to maintain sufficient future cash flows to meet its future financial
obligations and to continue funding activities include the sale of real estate
properties in the normal course of the Company's business and continued efforts
to reduce general and administrative costs. Management also believes that debt
financing, if necessary, is available. Accordingly, Management believes that
sufficient cash flow will be provided to meet the Company's financial
obligations for the coming twelve months.

NOTE G - COMMITMENTS

         The agreement that the Company had entered into on August 24, 1998 with
a financial public relations firm whereby the Company was to pay $15,000 per

         The agreements that the Company had entered into on March 23, 1999 with
certain consulting firms to provide financial public relations and marketing and
other corporate advisory services geared to assist the Company and its growth
were terminated in May, 1999. In connection therewith, the options to purchase
150,000 shares of the Company's common stock that were issued the principals of
one firm were cancelled. In addition, the obligation to grant options to a
second firm to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.01 per
share in lieu of fees was also cancelled. The Company no longer has any
obligations under these agreements.

         In December 1998, the Company paid a $112,500 deposit in connection
with a contract to purchase approximately 30 acres in Charlotte County, Florida.
Upon closing of the contract, which is subject to the resolution of certain
contingencies, an additional payment of $217,500 will be required.

NOTE H - SEGMENT REPORTING

         The Company currently has two major operating segments: Manufactured
Housing and Residential.

         The Manufactured Housing Segment has two primary sources of revenue:
rental of homesites and the sale of manufactured homes. The primary source of
revenue for the Residential Segment is disposition/sale of mortgage loans and
real estate properties. In computing income (loss) by operating segment, the
following items were considered in the Corporate and Other category: interest
expense, payroll and administrative expenses not directly attributable to other
segments and financing costs. Corporate assets are principally investment in
land, cash, furniture, fixtures and equipment, receivables and deferred charges.

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

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included herein,
and the Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended August 31,1999. In connection
with, and because it desires to take advantage of, the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the
Company cautions readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the
following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement
made by, or on the behalf of the Company, whether or not in future filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward looking statements are
statements not based on historical information and which relate to future
operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward
looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that
are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's
control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are
subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual
results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the
Company. The Company disclaims any obligation to update forward looking
statements.

OVERVIEW

         The Company was originally organized as Davenport Ventures, Inc.
("Davenport") in the state of Nevada on August 18, 1993. In June 1998,
controlling interest in the Company was acquired by certain shareholders of
Royal Mortgage Corporation. On August 10, 1998 the shareholders of Davenport
and Royal Mortgage Corporation, a Texas corporation ("RMC") approved the
terms of a Restated and Amended Agreement and Plan of Merger between the two
entities. As a result of the merger, the total number of common shares
outstanding as of August 18, 1998 (the effective date of the merger) was
7,464,382. The Company changed its name from Davenport Ventures, Inc. to
Royal Financial Corporation and changed its year end from December 31 to
August 31.

         In March 1999, the Company's Form 10-SB was approved by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company became a reporting company
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

         The Company is a real estate financial holding company which invests
in the asset backed real estate and mortgage markets. The Company's
investments include residential and commercial non-performing mortgages,
distressed residential properties purchased at foreclosure sale auctions, tax
lien certificates which result from unpaid property taxes owed to municipal
and county taxing authorities, ownership and operation of a manufactured
housing community in Florida, and land for future development of manufactured
housing communities.

SOURCES OF REVENUES

         Currently, the majority of the Company's net revenues is derived
from net gains and/or losses form the disposition of investment properties
and lot rental income from the Company's manufactured housing community in
Florida. In addition, substantial revenues have been derived from interest
earned on short-term investments. Due to the capital nature of many of the
Company's investments, the timing of cash flows from dispositions as well as
funds needed for investment opportunities which may arise has a certain
degree of uncertainty. Management has concluded that the most prudent use of
the Company's cash reserves at this time is in low risk investments that are
readily convertible into cash. In addition to the current sources of revenue
discussed above, the Company will realize revenues from the sale of new
manufactured homes.

         As the Company completes expansion and development of additional
manufactured homesites, the Company will purchase model homes directly from
the Manufacturer and sell the homes to persons that decide to live in the
community and rent a lot from the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998

         Total revenues increased approximately $57,000 or 53%, to $165,086
for the three months ended November 30, 1999, as compared to $107,742 for the
three months ended November 30, 1998. The increase in sales of manufactured
homes of $56,500 and the related cost of sales of manufactured homes of
$51,664 is due to this being a new source of revenue for the Company in
connection with the addition of 125 homesites and the related sale of
manufactured homes to persons who decided to live in the manufactured housing
community.

         Total operating expenses decreased approximately $129,000 or 25%, to
$396,084 for the three months ended November 30, 1999, as compared to $525,137
for the three months ended November 30, 1998. The decrease in promotional
expenses of approximately $47,000 is attributable to steps taken in 1998 to
establish a market presence by engaging certain investor relations firms,
establishing an internet web site, and other promotional activities. Such
activities were not undertaken in the current year. Office rent decreased
approximately $17,000 due to the Company moving to a smaller office space for
its Texas operations and subleasing its Florida office space to another
company. The decrease in taxes - payroll and other of approximately $29,000 is
primarily due to less real estate properties held in the current year and
resulting lower holding costs and reductions in personnel in 1999. Due
diligence expenses decreased approximately $28,000 due to the Company not being
as active in pursuing new investment opportunities as in the prior year.

         The decrease in interest income of approximately $28,000 is due to
lower average idle cash balances in the current period. The loss on sale of
office property and equipment in 1999 of $26,400 occurred as a result of the
Company selling all office furniture and fixtures, computer and telephone
equipment in the Naples, Florida office to a third party for $10,000. The
remaining balance of these assets of $26,400 was written off in September,
1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In December, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
change in investment strategy to shift the majority of the Company's assets
to cash and cash equivalents in the coming months. Once a substantial portion
of the Company's assets have been converted to cash and cash equivalents, the
Board will re-evaluate the real estate market and make a decision regarding
the re-investment of funds or the return of capital to stockholders.

         Cash and cash equivalents ere approximately $479,000 and $316,000 at
November 30, 1999 and August 31, 1999, respectively. The increase is
attributable to approximately $140,000 used in operating activities and
approximately $303,000 provided by investing activities. The outflow of cash
from operating activities is primarily attributable to corporate and property
operation offset by depreciation and amortization, and loss on sale of office
property and equipment. The Company realized approximately $303,000 of cash
flow primarily from the following investment activities: (i) sale of real
estate assets ($410,000); (ii) additional expenditures on land parcels in
Florida purchased during the year ended August 31, 1999 and (iii) additional
loan investments ($69,000).

         In December 1998, the Company paid a $112,500 deposit in connection
with a contract to purchase approximately 30 acres in Charlotte County,
Florida. Upon closing of the contract, which is subject to the resolution of
certain contingencies, an additional payment of $217,500 will be required.

         The remaining $1,290,000 of the 8 1/2% Senior Convertible Debentures
outstanding at November 30, 1999 mature on March 31, 2000. Management
believes that sufficient cash flow will be available to satisfy this
obligation from the sale of operating assets in the normal course of
business. Management also believes that debt financing, if necessary, is
available. However, the time period required to sell certain assets or secure
additional financing is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in closing asset sales or securing financing which
will generate sufficient cash flow to meet this obligation. In the event that
the Company is unsuccessful in generating sufficient cash flow to meet this
obligation, it could have a material adverse affect on the Company's
financial condition.

YEAR 2000

         The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue relates to whether computer systems will
properly recognize date-sensitive information to allow accurate processing of
transactions and data relating to the year 2000 and beyond. As of January 14,
2000, the Company has experienced no adverse effects as a result of Year
2000. As a result, although no assurances can be given, the Company does not
expect to incur any material costs relating to the Y2K issue. The Company
will continue to monitor its systems and those of third parties, such as its
tenants, service providers, vendors, financial institutions, the Company's
transfer agent and other unaffiliated parties the Company conducts business
with. The Company anticipates, although no assurances can be given, that it
would be able to switch suppliers, bank or service providers if any are
unable to convert their systems appropriately.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.          LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company is currently involved as plaintiff in various lawsuits
of a nature regularly incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's
business. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is involved in any
litigation, arbitration or other proceedings relating to claims which are
material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. To the
best of management's knowledge, there is no pending or threatened litigation
against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
