      THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
                                 MARCH 31, 1999

REVENUES

Revenues for the first quarter of 2000 were $9.5 million in 2000 compared to
$5.7 million in 1999, an increase of 67.3%. The increase was a result of
increased gains on sale of mortgage loans, net interest income and volume
incentive bonuses.

Gain on sale increased by 54.7% to $8.0 million from $5.2 million a year
earlier, generally a result of an increase in loan volume, partially resulting
from the Marina acquisition. Loans sold in the first quarter of 2000 were $495.2
million compared to $296.3 million in the like quarter in 1999 (which amounts
include $32.0 million and $11.4 million of originations in which we acted as
broker, respectively).

Net interest income increased to $939,000 from $223,000 a year ago, an increase
of 324.9%. The improvement resulted from increased loan origination and from
more efficient cash management, including the implementation of sweep accounts,
which use existing cash balances overnight to reduce outstanding borrowings.

Other income was $496,000 for the quarter compared to $244,000 for the first
quarter of 1999. Other income primarily consists of volume incentive bonuses
received from loan purchasers. These bonus payments are earned and recognized
when the Company achieves volume targets specified in agreements with these
purchasers.

EXPENSES

Salaries, commissions and benefits increased by 40.0% to $4.4 million from $3.1
million from the 1999 first quarter. The increase was largely due to the
inclusion of Marina expenses following the acquisition and increased staffing
levels related to our MORTGAGESELECT.COM Internet Web site.

Marketing and promotion expenses totaled $445,000 in the current quarter, up
3.7% from the first quarter of 1999. Increased advertising expense in support of
retail operations accounted for the increase.

Occupancy and equipment costs increased by 126.7% to $1.1 million for the
current quarter from $475,000 in 1999. The increase in costs is reflective of
the acquisition of Marina and opening of new community loan offices and Internet
sites and greater depreciation charges as a result of the Company's increased
investments in computer networking.

Data processing and communications by increased by 88.8% to $508,000 from
$269,000 in the first quarter of 1999. The increase was a result of the Marina
acquisition and opening new office locations.

Other expenses increased by 168.2% to $1.5 million, from $577,000 in 1999. These
expenses which consist generally of office supplies, travel, professional fees
and insurance have increased as a result of the growth in our MORTGAGESELECT.COM
internet Web site, the acquisition of Marina, new office openings and higher
employment levels.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To originate a mortgage loan, the Company draws against a syndicated warehouse
facility its subsidiary, American Home Mortgage Corp., has entered into with
First Union National Bank. The First Union warehouse facility was originally for
$60 million. First Union has agreed to increase this facility to $75 million
through May 31, 2000, and the Company is in negotiations to replace this
facility with a new $100 million warehouse facility that will be agented by
First Union. The Company expects to finalize an agreement with respect to the
new facility prior to May 31, 2000. The Company's existing warehouse facility is
secured by the mortgages it originates and certain of its other assets. Loans
under its warehouse facility bear interest at rates that vary depending on the
type of underlying loan, and these loans are subject to sublimits, advance rates
and terms that vary depending on the type of underlying loan and the ratio of
the Company's liabilities to its tangible net worth.

In addition to the First Union warehouse facility, the Company has purchase and
sale agreements with Fannie Mae, Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc.,
Prudential Securities Funding Corp. and Paine Webber Real Estate Securities,
Inc. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company obtains commitments from the
ultimate buyer to purchase our loans. These loans are then sold together with
the commitment from the end investor to one of the four institutions above, who
subsequently take responsibility for consummating the final transaction. These
agreements allow the Company to accelerate the sale of mortgage loan inventory
resulting in a more effective use of the warehouse facility. The combined
capacity available under the Company's purchase and sale agreements is $168
million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net cash provided by (used in)
operating, investing and financing activities was $(3.0) million, $(0.4) million
and $3.6 million respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was
primarily due to loan originations exceeding loan sales and an increase in
accounts receivable, offset by a decrease in accrued expenses and other
liabilities and net income. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily
due to the purchase of furniture and equipment. Net cash provided by financing
activities was a result of an increase in warehouse lines of credit which are
collateral for mortgage loans held for sale and a decrease in drafts payable.

For the comparable period a year ago, net cash provided by (used in) operating,
investing and financing activities was $7.0 million, $(0.3) million and $(6.8)
million respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily a
result of an excess of loan sales over originations. Net cash used in investing
activities was primarily due to the purchase of furniture and equipment. Net
cash used in financing activities was a result of a decrease in warehouse lines
of credit.

The Company's existing cash balances and funds available under its working
capital credit facilities, together with cash flows from operations, are
expected to be sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the
next 12 months.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires that all
derivatives be carried on the balance sheet at fair value and that changes in
the fair value of derivatives be recognized in income when they occur. If a
derivative qualifies as a hedge, a company can elect to use hedge accounting.
The potential impact varies depending upon whether the nature of the exposure
that is being hedged is classified as one of three hedged risks defined in the
statement: change in fair value, change in cash flows and change in
foreign-currency. If the derivatives qualify as hedges in accordance with the
standard, the Company anticipates that the adjustments to the basis of the
hedged risk (asset or liability) will mostly offset the changes in fair value of
the derivatives. This statement's implementation has been delayed to be
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000
and cannot be applied retroactively. The Company has not yet determined the
impact SFAS No. 133 will have on its financial position or results of operations
after this statement is adopted.

YEAR 2000

The Company was successful in its approach to the year 2000 computer compliance
project. The year-end transition from 1999 to year 2000 has not presented any
issues to date. Although considered unlikely, the Company could be affected by
third party systems that were not as well prepared. Management will continue to
monitor the situation and take action as necessary to remediate any problems
that might occur and ensure that all business processes continue to function
properly.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by
the safe harbors created thereby. The words "plan," "believe," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "expect," "objective," "projection," "forecast," "goal" or similar
words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
involve risks and uncertainties that exist in the Company's operations and
business environment that could render actual outcomes and results materially
different than predicted. The Company's forward-looking statements are based on
assumptions about many factors, including, but not limited to, general
volatility of the capital markets; changes in the real estate market, interest
rates or the general economy of the markets in which the Company operates;
economic, technological or regulatory changes affecting the use of the Internet
and changes in government regulations that are applicable to the Company's
regulated brokerage and property management businesses. These and other factors
are more fully discussed in the Company's prospectus filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission during the past 12 months. While the Company believes
that its assumptions are reasonable at the time forward-looking statements were
made, it cautions that it is impossible to predict the actual outcome of
numerous factors and, therefore, readers should not place undue reliance on such
statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made,
and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements in light of
new information or future events.

           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Movements in interest rates can pose a major risk to the Company in either a
rising or declining interest rate environment. When interest rates rise, loans
held for sale and any applications in process with locked-in rates decrease in
value. To preserve the value of such loans or applications in process with
locked-in rates, agreements are executed for mandatory loan sales to be settled
at future dates with fixed prices. These sales take the form of forward sales of
mortgage-backed securities.

When interest rates decline, fallout may occur as a result of customers
withdrawing their applications. In those instances, the Company may be required
to purchase loans at current market prices to fulfill existing mandatory loan
sale agreements, thereby incurring losses upon sale. The Company uses an
interest rate hedging program to manage these risks. Through this program,
mortgage-backed securities are purchased and sold forward and options are
acquired on mortgage and treasury securities.

The board of directors establishes thresholds which limit exposure to such risk.
An analysis is performed daily to determine the risk exposure under various
interest rate scenarios and such risk is managed by executing the program
discussed above. All derivatives are obtained for hedging (or other than
trading) purposes, and management evaluates the effectiveness of the hedges on
an on-going basis.

The following table summarizes the Company's interest rate sensitive
instruments:

</TABLE>

In the event that the Company does not deliver into the forward delivery
commitments or exercise its option contracts, the instruments can be settled on
a net basis. Net settlement entails paying or receiving cash based upon the
change in market value of the existing instrument. All forward delivery
commitments and option contracts to buy securities are to be contractually
settled within six months of the balance sheet date.

The following methods and assumptions are used in estimating fair values of the
aforementioned financial instruments:

            Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time based
            on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.
            These techniques involve uncertainties and are significantly
            affected by the assumptions used and the judgments made regarding
            risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount
            rates, estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss
            experience, and other factors.

            Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the Company's
            estimates and the resulting fair values. Derived fair value
            estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent
            markets and, in many cases, cannot be realized in an immediate sale
            of the instrument. Also, as a result of differences in methodologies
            and assumptions used to estimate fair values, the Company's fair
            values should not be compared to those of other companies.

            The fair value of commitments to fund with locked-in rates are
            estimated using the fees and rates currently charged to enter into
            similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
            agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.
            For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the
            difference between current market interest rates and the existing
            committed rates.

            The fair value of these instruments is estimated using current
            market prices for dealer or investor commitments relative to
            existing positions.

The Company's hedging program contains an element of risk since the
counterparties to its mortgage and treasury securities transactions may be
unable to meet their obligations. While the Company does not anticipate
nonperformance by any counterparty, it is exposed to potential credit losses in
the event that the counterparty fails to perform. The exposure to credit risk in
the event of default by a counterparty is the difference between the contract
and the current market price. This credit risk is minimized by limiting the
counterparties to well-capitalized banks and securities dealers who meet
established credit and capital guidelines.
