PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
- -------
First Mortgage Corporation (the "Company") was organized under the
corporation laws of the State of Utah on March 1, 1977, for the purpose of
engaging in the real estate mortgage business, related activities, and
other general purposes. The Company is currently engaged in the
acquisition of interests in non-performing loan packages from various
government and private financial organizations. Following acquisition of
such loan packages, the Company attempts to collect such loans. In
addition, the Company owns and manages commercial real estate located in
Pocatello, Idaho, and Phoenix, Arizona. (See Item 2. Property.)
Industry Background
- -------------------
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") was organized
in part to insure against failing financial institutions. In this capacity
the FDIC often takes over failing financial institutions and liquidates the
assets of the particular financial institution, including packages of loans
either originated from the financial institution or serviced by such
institution.
In the mid-1980s many savings and loan institutions failed for various
reasons. The Resolution Trust Corporation (the "RTC") was created to
liquidate these savings and loan institutions, and in many cases to sell
off packages of loans held by such savings and loan facilities.
Many private financial institutions such as financing and mortgage
companies also liquidate loan packages for many reasons, including loan
packages which have performed poorly.
In most instances the FDIC, RTC, and private financial institutions
will place these loan packages for sale either on a sealed bid basis or in
an auction proceeding. Investors have an opportunity to review the
particular loan packages and bid on such packages. Generally, such
packages are sold to the highest bidder and payment is required within a
reasonably short period.
Business of the Company
- -----------------------
Since the mid-1980s the Company has been engaged primarily in the
business of bidding on and collecting delinquent and other loans purchased
from the FDIC, the RTC, and private financing companies. Mr. Greaves, the
president of the Company, has been principally responsible for the
evaluation of loan packages and bidding for the purchase of such packages.
Generally, the Company receives notice of loan packages through direct
mailings to the Company or through advertisements in trade journals or
newspapers. Each loan package consists of from a few to several hundred
non-performing individual loans, with most loan packages consisting of from
ten to fifty such loans. After determining for which loan packages to bid,
Mr. Greaves will visit the site of the financial institution holding the
loan package and review the books and records relating to the particular
loan package.
- 1 -
<PAGE>
The bidding process for the various loan packages will vary depending
upon the type of financial institution involved. Generally, the Company
will determine the potential for successful collection and will estimate
the cost of collection, including the location of the originating loans.
Based upon the information developed from this process, the Company will
place a bid with the financial institution or will attend the auction and
bid on the package. Management believes that it is successful in
approximately twenty percent of the bids made for loan packages, or parts
of such loan packages.
Financing for the acquisition costs of the particular loan packages is
furnished in part by funds provided by the Company and by others in joint
venture arrangements on each individual loan package. In general, the
Company will seek from ten to fifty percent participation by such joint
venture partners. Typically, the Company has entered into joint venture
arrangements with Eiger Enterprises, Ltd. a limited partnership affiliated
with Susan and Bryce Wade, beneficial owners of in excess of five percent
of the outstanding shares of the Company. (See Item 12. Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management, and Item 13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions.)
The Company handles all collection procedures in-house, except where
legal action is required to collect delinquent loans. In such instances
the Company engages local attorneys to bring collection actions in the city
in which the debtor is located.
Competition
- -----------
The Company competes against a number of companies which are better
financed and have more employees than the Company. There are a number of
much larger companies which compete in acquiring loan packages involving
first mortgages on single family dwellings; however, the Company does not
bid on such packages.
Management believes that the number of available loan packages from
failed financial institutions is becoming very limited. Most of the
savings and loan institutions have been fully liquidated and the number of
banks which fail is fewer than in previous years. Consequently, the
Company has fewer loan packages for which it can bid, and the competition
for, and cost of, such packages is becoming greater.
Regulation
- ----------
On September 20, 1977, Congress enacted the Federal Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act, codified at 15 U.S.C. Section 1692, et seq.(the
"Act"), and amended it in 1986. The Act extends its protection only to
certain persons, and applies its prohibitions only to certain debt
transactions and to a limited category of persons or entities collecting
debts. In general, the protections of the Act are extended only to
consumers who are natural persons who incurred debt for personal, family,
or household purposes. In other words, the Act does not apply to the
collection of commercial or business debts. Also, the Act does not apply
to debt collectors who collect debts for themselves rather than for others.
Only a small number of the debts collected by the Company involve
consumer debts. Also, all of the loan packages are collected for the
benefit of the joint venture which owns the loan package. Therefore, the
Company does not believe that the Act applies to the operations of the
Company, even in connection with the collection of consumer debts.
A number of states have enacted similar debt collection legislation.
The Company believes that it is either exempt from such legislation or it
is in compliance with such laws.
<PAGE>
Employees
- ---------
As of July 11, 1997, the Company had no full-time employees. Mr.
Greaves, the President of the Company devotes approximately one-half of his
time to the business of the Company. (See Item 10. Directors and Executive
Officers of the Registrant.)
Patents and Trademarks
- ----------------------
The Company does not own any patents or trademark rights.
ITEM 2. PROPERTY.
Office Space
- ------------
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 257 East
200 South, Suite 950, Salt Lake City, Utah, and consists of approximately
1,000 square feet of office space which it sublets on a month to month
basis for $725 per month from DeWaal, Keeler & Company, Certified Public
Accountants. (See Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions.)
Idaho Property
- --------------
The Company owns an eighty percent (80%) interest as a tenant in
common with an unrelated third party in approximately 5.58 acres of
undeveloped commercial real property located in Pocatello, Idaho. During
the fiscal year ended February 28, 1993, the Company partitioned the land
previously owned by the Company by exchanging its tenant in common interest
in approximately twelve acres adjoining the present acreage for the
existing tenant in common interest in a parcel which consists of frontage
property on the corner of Center Street and the on-ramp to Interstate 15 in
downtown Pocatello, Idaho.
The Company currently intends to sell or lease the property for
commercial development; however, the Company does not intend to develop the
land itself or to operate any business on the property. The Company has no
formal or written agreement with the holder of the remaining twenty percent
interest in the property, and any decision to sell or lease the land would
need to be done in conjunction with such party. The president of the
Company has had a long-standing business relationship with such party and
therefore believes that the Company will be able to reach an equitable
arrangement with such party should the Company decide to sell or lease the
property. In addition, the Company has agreed to cooperate in any
development of the property which may include the adjacent parcel in which
the Company previously held an interest, but no formal agreement has been
discussed or reached.
- 3 -<PAGE>
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Neither the Company nor any of its properties is a party to any
material pending legal proceedings, including any material bankruptcy,
receivership, or similar proceeding. Management of the Company does not
believe that there are any material proceedings to which any director,
officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of
more than five percent of the common stock of the Company, or any associate
of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder
is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the
Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of the year ended
February 28, 1997, to a vote of the security holders.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS.
The Common Stock of the Company is not currently traded, and there is
no established public trading market for the Common Stock. There are no
market markers in the Common Stock. Management believes that there exists
a very limited or no degree of liquidity associated with the stock.
Management is not aware of actual trading volumes in the stock for the most
recent two fiscal years or since the end of the most recent fiscal year.
In addition, management is not able to provide the high and low bid
quotations since no market trades are known by management to have occurred
during the prior two fiscal years or since the end of the most recent
fiscal year.
As of July 11, 1997, there were approximately 300 holders of record of
the Common Stock of the Company as reported to the Company by its transfer
agent.
The Company has not declared any cash dividends on any class of common
equity for the last two fiscal years or subsequent to the most recent
fiscal year end. The Company does not anticipate declaring or paying any
dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Result of Operations
- --------------------
The Company earns revenues from the collection of contracts purchased
primarily from the RTC and the FDIC, as well as from private financial
institutions. Contracts are purchased by competitive bids on packages of
loans from failed savings and loan and other financial associations. Loan
packages are awarded to the highest bidder and such bidder must take all
loans included in the package. There is no recourse or other guarantee
that any of the loans can be collected or that the Company will be able to
recover its costs in the package of loans.
Loan packages vary in size in the number of loans included and the
potential dollar amount of recovery. When the Company wishes to share the
risk of collection of the loan packages, it will enter into arrangements
with other investors. When these arrangements are made, both the Company
and the other investors receive proportionate interest in the proceeds.
- 5 -<PAGE>
The Company does not recognize income of any specific loan packages
until such time as the entire investment is recovered. Since the Company
has no recourse or other guarantee on the collect ability of the loan
packages, and since as a general rule there is no market for factoring or
marketing the loans individually, the fair market value of the loan
packages is undeterminable and is presented on the financial statements at
its cost, less amounts collected.
The Company's business is affected by general economic conditions. As
failure rates of savings and loan associations or other regulated banking
institutions improve, the availability of loan packages decreases and the
competition becomes more intense for the available packages. These factors
create uncertainty as to the Company's ability to acquire economical loan
packages with acceptable risk factors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's cash requirements consist principally of working
capital, and payment of principal and interest on its outstanding
indebtedness. The Company has no plans for capital expenditures. At
February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996, the Company had working capital of
$509,325 and $561,449, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents balances
were $470,153 and $340,577, respectively. The Company's growth in working
capital at February 29, 1997, and February 28, 1996, was attributable to
its operations. Operations accounted for all increases in cash flows for
the years ended February 29, 1997 and February 28, 1996.
The Company believes that cash from operating activities will be
sufficient to finance its activities for its fiscal year ending February
28, 1998.

PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT.
The following information is provided for each of the executive
officers and directors of the Company:
WILLIAM S. GREAVES has been the President and a Director of the
Company since 1977. Mr. Greaves devotes approximately half of his time to
the business of the Company. Since approximately 1980, he has been the
president of Green River Development Associates, Inc., a privately held
company engaged in providing retail services to long-haul truckers. Mr.
Greaves received his bachelor of science degree in 1966 in sociology and
business from Utah State University, and his masters of public
administration in 1970 from the University of Southern California. Age 52.
STANLEY R. DE WAAL has been the Secretary and Treasurer of the Company
since 1977 and has been a Director of the Company since 1977. He is
certified public accountant and a senior partner in DeWaal, Keeler &
Company, Certified Public Accountants, which has been his principal
occupation for at least the past five years. (See Item 13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions.) Age 62.
DONALD L. SMITH has been a Director of the Company since 1977. From
1975 to 1991 Mr. Smith was the owner of Smith Agency/Insurance Associates,
an independent insurance agency. Since 1991 he has been an insurance agent
for ATP Insurance, Inc., an independent insurance agency. Age 63.
The Company believes that the potential success of the business of the
Company is significantly dependent upon the services of its current
president, Mr. Greaves. The Company has no employment agreement with Mr.
Greaves and carries no life insurance upon his life. In addition, if Mr.
Greaves leaves the Company, he is not prohibited by any contract from
competing with the Company in its business ventures. The Company believes
that the loss of the services of Mr. Greaves could have a material negative
impact upon the current business of the Company.
The term of office of each director is one year and until his
successor is elected at the annual meeting of the Company and qualified.
The term of office for each officer of the Company is at the pleasure of
the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no nominating, auditing
or compensation committee. The Bylaws of the Company provide that the
annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held on the third Friday in
March of each year or at such other time as the Board of Directors may from
time to time determine. There are no arrangements or understandings
between any of the officers or directors and any other person(s) pursuant
to which such officer or director was selected as an officer or director.
There are also no family relationships between any director or executive
officer of the Company.
During the most recent fiscal year ended February 28, 1997, the
Company did not have a class of equity securities registered pursuant to
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Therefore,
no Forms 3,4, or 5 were filed during such year.

partner of Center Street Associates, Ltd. ("CSA"), a Utah limited
partnership which owns approximately 37.5 acres of the parcel of unimproved
real property which originally included the 5.58 acres of unimproved real
property in which the Company owns an 80% interest located in Pocatello,
Idaho. CSA was one of the parties, together with the Company and other
unrelated parties, which originally owned a percentage interest in the
entire tract which was reapportioned during the fiscal year ended February
28, 1993. In addition, CSA and the Company agreed to guaranty the owner of
an adjacent parcel that such property could be sold in an are's-length
transaction for not less than $100,000, or CSA would pay the difference
between the selling price and $100,000, but not to exceed $10,000. (See

Independent Auditors Report
---------------------------
Board of Directors
FIRST MORTGAGE CORPORATION
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of FIRST MORTGAGE
CORPORATION, as of February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years
ended February 28, 1997, February 29, 1996, and February 28, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my
audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of FIRST MORTGAGE
CORPORATION, as of February 28, 1997, and February 29, 1996, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended February
28, 1997, February 29, 1996, and February 28, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Company has adopted the practice of recovering its investment then
recognizing as income all proceeds of collection efforts in the period in
which the money is received.

Trust Corp., and FDIC (see Note #8) and other privately negotiated
contracts. Because the financial instruments that the Company holds have
no established market through which the Company could liquidate them, the
amounts listed below represent the anticipated amounts to be realized over
a period of years.
