ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
- ------------------

GENERAL

CWM Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (formerly Countrywide Mortgage Investments, Inc.)
("CWM") was incorporated in the State of Maryland on July 16, 1985 and
reincorporated in the State of Delaware on March 6, 1987. References to "CWM"
mean either the parent company alone or the parent company and the entities
consolidated for financial reporting purposes, while references to the "Company"
means the parent company, its consolidated subsidiaries and Independent National
Mortgage Corporation (formerly Countrywide Mortgage Conduit, Inc.) ("Indy Mac"),
which is not consolidated with CWM for financial reporting or tax purposes. All
of the outstanding voting common stock and 1% of the economic interest of Indy
Mac is owned by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. ("CHL"), which is a subsidiary of
Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc. ("CCI"). All of the outstanding non-voting
preferred stock and 99% of the economic interest of Indy Mac is owned by CWM.
The directors and senior officers of Indy Mac are also senior officers of CWM.
In addition, Indy Mac's operations and technology are dependent upon and closely
integrated with CWM's, and CWM is the sole supplier of Indy Mac's purchased
mortgage loans. Accordingly, Indy Mac is accounted for under a method similar to
the equity method because CWM (as opposed to affiliates of CWM) has the ability
to exercise significant influence over the financial and operating policies of
Indy Mac through its ownership of the preferred stock and other contracts. CWM
has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a result of this
election, CWM will not, with certain limited exceptions, be taxed at the
corporate level on the net income distributed to CWM's shareholders.

The Company conducts mortgage conduit activities through Indy Mac, which is not
a qualified REIT subsidiary of CWM and which is subject to applicable federal
and state income taxes. See "Certain of CWM Federal Income Tax Considerations."
The Company also conducts the following operations: (1) Construction Lending
Corporation of America (CLCA), which offers a variety of consumer construction
loan programs (Consumer Division) and single family construction lending program
for builders and developers (Builder Division), (2) Warehouse Lending
Corporation of America (WLCA), which provides various types of short-term
revolving financing to mortgage originators and servicers, (3) Independent
National Finance Corporation (INFC), a division of Indy Mac, which was formed to
facilitate the purchase, securitization and sale of mortgage loans to borrowers
with prior adverse credit circumstances (i.e., "B through D" paper mortgages),
and (4) Independent National Housing Services (INHS), a division of Indy Mac,
which was formed in 1996 to facilitate the purchase or origination,
securitization and sale of consumer loans and mortgage loans secured by
manufactured housing. In addition, the Company invests in mortgage loans and
securitized master servicing fees for long-term investment and maintains an
investment portfolio of mortgage securities which are held available-for-sale.
Prior to 1993, CWM was primarily a passive investor in single-family, first-
lien, residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities representing
interests in such loans which were financed by collateralized mortgage
obligations (the "CMO Portfolio").

MORTGAGE CONDUIT OPERATIONS

Through Indy Mac, the Company primarily operates as a jumbo and nonconforming
mortgage loan conduit. As a nonconforming mortgage loan conduit, the Company
acts as an intermediary between the originators of mortgage loans that do not
currently meet the guidelines for purchase by the government and government
sponsored entities (GSEs) (i.e., Government National Mortgage Association
("GNMA"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC")) that guarantee mortgage-backed securities
("nonconforming mortgage loans") and permanent investors in mortgage-backed
securities secured by or representing an ownership interest in such mortgage
loans. All loans purchased by CWM for which a real estate mortgage investment
conduit ("REMIC") transaction or whole loan sale is contemplated are
<PAGE>
 
committed for sale to Indy Mac at the same price at which the loans were
acquired by CWM. Indy Mac does not currently purchase any loans from entities
other than CWM. The Company's mortgage conduit operations consist of the
purchase and securitization of mortgage loans secured by first and second liens
on single (one-to-four) family residential properties that are originated in
accordance with the Company's underwriting guidelines. The Company and its
sellers negotiate whether such sellers will retain, or the Company will
purchase, the rights to service the mortgage loans delivered by such sellers to
the Company. The Company subcontracts the servicing associated with the
servicing rights acquired to CHL or a third party servicer. The Company's
principal sources of income from its mortgage conduit operations are gains
recognized on the sale of mortgage loans, securities and the sale of servicing,
the net spread between interest earned on mortgage loans and the interest costs
associated with the borrowings used to finance such loans pending their
securitization or sale and the net interest earned on its mortgage loans held
for investment, investments in mortgage securities, securitized master servicing
fees and master servicing fees receivable. In addition, during 1995, the Company
expanded its conduit operations through INFC, a division of Indy Mac, to include
the purchase and securitization of "B through D" credit quality mortgage loans.
As of December 31, 1995 the Company employed thirteen people in INFC's business
and through December 31, 1995 had purchased $49.4 million of such mortgage
loans.

MARKETING AND PRODUCTION

     Marketing Strategy.  The Company's mortgage conduit operations are designed
to attract both large and small sellers of nonconforming mortgage loans by
offering a variety of products, pricing and loan underwriting methods designed
to be responsive to such sellers' needs.  The Company expects to continue to
introduce niche products from time to time, which may give the Company temporary
competitive advantages.  The Company's products include fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate mortgage loans, home loans to foreign nationals, reduced
documentation loans and non-owner occupied loans. In response to the perceived
needs of nonconforming mortgage loan sellers, the Company's marketing strategy
seeks to offer competitive pricing, response time efficiencies in the purchase
process, direct and frequent contact through a trained sales force and flexible
commitment programs.  In addition, through its construction lending division,
the Company offers combined construction-to-permanent mortgage loans, home
improvement loans, tract construction loans, land loans, model home loans and
builder custom home loans.  The Company's warehouse lending division offers
traditional revolving lines of credit to mortgage originators, servicing-secured
and servicing-acquisition lines of credit and foreclosure and repurchase loan
facilities.

In the latter half of 1995, the Company restructured its sales and marketing
staff as well as certain of  its operations areas to pursue business on a
servicing-released basis and to market products more effectively to smaller
mortgage bankers and brokers. As a general rule, the Correspondent Division will
serve mortgage originators with GAAP net worths of less than $1,000,000 and the
Conduit Division will serve mortgage originators with GAAP net worths of greater
than $1,000,000. Additionally, within the Conduit Division, a separate sales
team was established to market solely to financial institutions.  The sale force
as a whole will continue to cross-sell products for all of the Company's
business lines.  The Company believes that these restructuring efforts will
encourage the growth of business from smaller mortgage originators and financial
institutions of all sizes.

The Company has three principal underwriting methods designed to be responsive
to the needs of nonconforming mortgage loan sellers.  The first method
established by the Company is a delegated underwriting program which is similar
in concept to the delegated underwriting programs established by FNMA, FHLMC and
GNMA.  Under this program,  mortgage loans are underwritten in accordance with
the Company's guidelines by the seller and purchased, in reliance on the
seller's representations and warranties, on the basis of the seller's financial
strength, historical loan quality and other qualifications.  The delegated
underwriting program enables sellers to deliver loans to the Company without
time delay imposed by the Company's underwriters or a third party underwriter,
such as a mortgage pool insurer.  A sample of such loans is subsequently
reviewed by the Company in accordance with its quality control guidelines.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
The delegated underwriting program consists of two separate subprograms.  The
Company's principal delegated underwriting subprogram is designed for loan
sellers that meet higher financial and performance criteria than those
applicable to sellers generally.  While certain sellers have delegated
underwriting authority for all mortgage products under this subprogram, others
have delegated authority only with respect to specified products.  The Company
also operates a restricted delegated underwriting subprogram that is available
to substantially all of the Company's sellers.  Under this more limited
subprogram, only the Company's standard loan products, with loan-to-value ratios
and outstanding balance requirements which are more restrictive than the
Company's standard guidelines, may be submitted.

Under the Company's second underwriting method, sellers submit to the Company
mortgage loans to be underwritten by the Company in accordance with its
guidelines.

The Company's third underwriting method is designed to serve sellers who
generally obtain mortgage pool insurance commitments in connection with the
origination of their loans. Under this method, the Company does not perform a
full underwriting review of such mortgage loans, but instead relies on the
credit review and analysis of the mortgage pool insurer and the Company's own
follow-up quality control procedures. In 1995, significantly fewer mortgage
loans were purchased pursuant to this program compared to past periods. Under
all three methods, mortgage loans are purchased by the Company only after
completion of a legal documentation and eligibility criteria review. See "---
Underwriting and Quality Control."

     Mortgage Loans Acquired.  Substantially all of the mortgage loans purchased
through the Company's mortgage conduit operations are nonconforming mortgage
loans.  Nonconforming mortgage loans are loans which do not qualify for purchase
by FHLMC or FNMA or for inclusion in a loan guarantee program sponsored by GNMA.
Nonconforming mortgage loans generally consist of jumbo mortgage loans or loans
which are not originated in accordance with other agency criteria.  Currently,
the maximum principal balance for a conforming loan is $207,000.  Loans that
exceed such maximum principal balance are referred to as "jumbo loans."  The
Company generally purchases jumbo loans with original principal balances of up
to $3 million.  The Company's loan purchase activities focus on those regions of
the country where higher volumes of jumbo mortgage loans are originated,
including California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland,
Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Washington and
Washington, DC.  The Company's highest concentration of mortgage loans relates
to properties in California because of the generally higher property values and
mortgage loan balances prevalent there.  Mortgage loans secured by California
properties accounted for approximately 40% of the mortgage loans purchased by
the Company in 1995.

Mortgage loans acquired by the Company are secured by first liens on single-
(one-to-four) family residential properties with either fixed or adjustable
interest rates.  Fixed-rate mortgage loans accounted for approximately 64% of
the mortgage loans purchased by the Company in 1995. As interest rates declined
during 1995, the number of adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans purchased by
the Company has decreased from 50% of all mortgage loans purchased in 1994 to
36% of 1995 mortgage loan purchases.

The Company also purchases certain ARM loans which provide the borrowers with
the future option to convert the loans to a fixed rate of interest. Although the
Company generally plans to sell or securitize these ARM loans in connection with
its mortgage conduit operations, it will generally be obligated to repurchase
the fixed-rate loans resulting from any such conversion. Although the Company
generally has the right to require repurchase of any such converted mortgage
loan by the servicer of such loan, no assurance can be given that the servicer
will be able to honor its obligations. Because overall interest rates declined
during 1995, the Company is purchasing fewer of these types of loans.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     Seller Eligibility Requirements.  The mortgage loans acquired pursuant to
the Company's mortgage conduit operations are originated by various sellers,
including savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, mortgage
brokers and other mortgage lenders.  Sellers are required to meet certain
regulatory, financial, insurance and performance requirements established by the
Company before they are eligible to participate in the Company's mortgage loan
purchase program and must submit to periodic reviews by the Company to ensure
continued compliance with these requirements.  For sellers who also perform
mortgage loan servicing for the Company, the Company generally requires a
minimum level of tangible net worth, approval as a FNMA or FHLMC seller/servicer
in good standing, and/or approval as a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD") approved mortgagee in good standing or a financial
institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") or comparable federal or state agency and is supervised and examined by
a federal or state authority.  In addition, sellers are required to have
comprehensive loan origination quality control procedures.  In connection with
its qualification, each seller enters into an agreement that provides for
recourse by the Company against such seller under various circumstances,
including in the event of any material breach of a representation or warranty
made by the seller with respect to mortgage loans sold to the Company, any fraud
or misrepresentation during the mortgage loan origination process or upon early
payment default on such loans.

     Servicing Retention. Certain sellers of mortgage loans to the Company have
contracted with the Company to retain the rights to service the mortgage loans
purchased by the Company. Servicing includes collecting and remitting loan
payments, making required advances, accounting for principal and interest,
holding escrow or impound funds for payment of taxes and insurance, if
applicable, making required inspections of the mortgaged property, contacting
delinquent borrowers and supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in
the event of unremedied defaults in accordance with the Company's guidelines.
The servicer is required to perform these servicing functions pursuant to
standards set forth in the Company's guidelines. The servicer receives fees
generally ranging from 1/4% to 1/2% per annum on the declining principal
balances of the loans serviced. If a seller/servicer breaches certain of its
representations and warranties made to the Company, the Company may terminate
the servicing rights of such seller/servicer and sell or assign such servicing
rights to another servicer. Under certain circumstances, sellers have the option
to require the Company to purchase such servicing rights at a previously
determined price. The Company generally sells acquired purchased servicing
rights after accumulating a bulk amount, as the Company does not intend to
become a primary servicer of mortgage loans.

     Master Loan Servicing.  The Company acts as master servicer with respect to
the mortgage loans it sells pursuant to securitizations. Master servicing
includes collecting loan payments from seller/servicers of loans and remitting
loan payments, less master servicing fees and other fees, to trustees. In
addition, as master servicer, the Company monitors the servicer's compliance
with the Company's servicing guidelines and is required to perform, or to
contract with a third party to perform, all obligations not adequately performed
by any servicer. The master servicer may permit or require the servicer to
contract with approved subservicers to perform some or all of the servicer's
servicing duties, but the servicer is not thereby released from its servicing
obligations.

In connection with REMIC issuances and whole loan sales, the Company master
services on a non-recourse basis substantially all of the mortgage loans it
sells. Each series of mortgage-backed securities is typically fully payable from
the mortgage assets underlying such series and the recourse of investors is
generally limited to those assets and any credit enhancement features, such as
insurance. As a general rule, any losses in excess of the accompanying credit
enhancement obtained is borne by the security holders. Except in the case of a
breach of the standard representations and warranties made by the Company when
mortgage loans are securitized or sold, the securities or sales are non-recourse
to the Company. Typically, the Company has recourse to the sellers of loans for
any such breaches.

PURCHASE COMMITMENT PROCESS

     Master Commitments.  As part of its marketing strategy, the Company
establishes mortgage loan purchase commitments ("Master Commitments") with
sellers that, subject to certain conditions, entitle the seller to sell and the
Company to purchase a specified dollar amount of nonconforming mortgage loans
over a period generally ranging from three months to one year.  The terms of
each Master Commitment specify whether a seller may sell loans to the Company on
a mandatory, best efforts or optional basis, or a combination thereof.  Master
Commitments do not obligate the Company to purchase loans at a specific price
but rather provide the seller with a future outlet for the sale of its
originated loans based on the Company's quoted prices at the time of purchase.
Master Commitments specify the types of mortgage loans the seller is entitled to
sell to the Company and generally range from $5 million to $1 billion in
aggregate committed principal amount.  The Master Commitment also specifies
whether the seller will retain or release to the Company the right to service
delivered mortgage loans.

     Bulk and Other Rate-Locks.  The Company also acquires mortgage loans from
sellers that are not purchased pursuant to Master Commitments.  These purchases
may be made on a bulk or individual rate-lock basis.  Bulk rate-locks obligate
the seller to sell and the Company to purchase a specific group of loans,
generally ranging from $1 million to $50 million in aggregate committed
principal amount, at set prices on specific dates.  Bulk rate-locks enable the
Company to acquire substantial quantities of loans on a more immediate basis.
The specific pricing, delivery and program requirements of these purchases are
determined by negotiation between the parties but are generally in accordance
with the provisions of the Company's Seller/Servicer Guide.  Due to the active
presence of investment banks and other substantial investors in this area,
purchasing loans under bulk pricing is extremely competitive.  Loans are also
purchased from individual sellers (typically smaller originators of mortgage
loans) which do not wish to sell pursuant to either a Master Commitment or bulk
rate-lock.  The terms of these individual purchases are based primarily on the
Company's Seller/Servicer Guide and standard pricing provisions, and are offered
on a mandatory or best efforts basis.

Following the issuance of specific rate-locks related to mortgage loans held for
sale, Indy Mac is subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations and will
enter into hedging transactions to diminish such risk. Hedging transactions may
include mandatory or optional forward sales of mortgage loans or mortgage-backed
securities, mandatory forward sales or financings using REMICs, mandatory or
optional sales of futures and other financial futures transactions. See
"Securitization Process." The nature and quantity of hedging transactions will
be determined by management based on various factors, including market
conditions and the expected or contracted volume of mortgage loan purchases. In
addition, the Company will not engage in any financial futures transaction
unless the Company or Countrywide Asset Management Corporation ("CAMC"), as
appropriate, would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Commodity
Exhange Act or otherwise comply with the provisions thereof.

UNDERWRITING AND QUALITY CONTROL

     Purchase Guidelines.  The Company has developed comprehensive purchase
guidelines for its acquisition of mortgage loans.  Subject to certain
exceptions, each loan purchased must conform to the Company's loan eligibility
requirements specified in the Company's Seller/Servicer Guide with respect to,
among other things, loan amount, type of property, loan-to-value ratio, type and
amount of insurance, credit history of the borrower, income ratios, sources of
funds, appraisal and loan documentation.  The Company also performs a legal
documentation review prior to the purchase of any loan.  For loans with mortgage
pool insurance commitments, the Company does not perform a full underwriting
review prior to purchase but instead relies on the credit review and analysis
performed by the mortgage pool insurer and its own post-purchase quality control
review.  By

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
contrast, for mortgage loans that have not been underwritten for mortgage pool
insurance and are not part of the Company's delegated underwriting program, the
Company performs a full credit review and analysis to ensure compliance with its
loan eligibility requirements. This review specifically includes, among other
things, an analysis of the underlying property and associated appraisal and an
examination of the credit, employment and income history of the borrower. For
loans purchased pursuant to the Company's delegated underwriting program, the
Company relies on the credit review performed by the seller and the Company's
own follow-up quality control procedures. See discussion of the Company's three
underwriting methods under "---Marketing and Production."

     Quality Control.  Ongoing quality control reviews are conducted by the
Company to ensure that the mortgage loans purchased meet the Company's quality
standards.  The type and extent of the quality control review depends on the
nature of the seller and the characteristics of the loans. The Company conducts
a full post-purchase underwriting review of approximately 50% of the loans
purchased during the first two months of a seller's participation in the
delegated underwriting program to monitor ongoing compliance with the Company's
guidelines.  The percentage of loans fully reviewed is thereafter reduced
bimonthly in 10% increments to approximately 20% after six months and maintained
at this level throughout the seller's participation in the delegated
underwriting program. The Company reviews on a post-purchase basis approximately
10% of all loans submitted to the Company with mortgage pool insurance
commitments or underwritten by the Company for compliance with the Company's
guidelines.  In addition, a higher percentage of mortgage loans with certain
specified characteristics are reviewed by the Company either before or after
their purchase, including loans in excess of $650,000 in principal amount, loans
on which 12 or more payments have been made and loans made in connection with
cash-out refinancings.  In performing a quality control review on a loan, the
Company analyzes the underlying property and associated appraisal and examines
the credit, employment and income history of the borrower.  In addition, all
documents submitted in connection with the loan, including insurance policies,
appraisals, credit records, title policies, deeds of trust and promissory notes,
are examined for compliance with the Company's underwriting guidelines.
Furthermore, the Company reverifies the employment, income and source of funds
documentation, as appropriate, of each borrower and obtains a new credit report
and independent appraisal, with respect to approximately 10% of the reviewed 
loan sample.
 
SECURITIZATION PROCESS

     General. The Company primarily uses repurchase agreements, bank borrowings,
unsecured debt and equity to finance the initial acquisition of mortgage loans
from sellers. When a sufficient volume of mortgage loans with similar
characteristics has been accumulated, generally $100 million to $500 million in
principal amount, such loans are securitized through the issuance of mortgage-
backed securities in the form of REMICs or CMOs or resold in bulk whole loan
sales. The length of time between when the Company commits to purchase a
mortgage loan and when it sells or securitizes such mortgage loan generally
ranges from ten to 90 days, depending on certain factors, including the length
of the purchase commitment period, the loan volume by product type, and market
fluctuations in the prices of mortgage-backed securities and variations in the
securitization process.

The Company is subject to various risks due to potential interest rate
fluctuations during the period of time after the Company commits to purchase a
mortgage loan at a pre-determined price until such mortgage loan is ultimately
sold.  The Company has attempted to mitigate such risks through the
implementation of hedging policies and procedures.  In accordance with its
hedging policies and procedures, the Company seeks to utilize financial
instruments whose price sensitivity has very close inverse correlation to the
price sensitivity of the related mortgage loans as a result of changes in
applicable interest rates.  With respect to the Company's portfolio of jumbo and
nonconforming fixed-rate loans, the financial instrument which has historically
demonstrated close inverse correlation, and also trades in a relatively liquid
and efficient manner, is a forward commitment to sell a FNMA or FHLMC security
of comparable maturity and weighted average interest rate.  However, the
Company's private-label mortgage securities typically trade at a discount (or

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
"spread") compared to the corresponding FNMA or FHLMC securities, due to the
implied government guarantees or certain FNMA or FHLMC obligations. Accordingly,
while the Company's hedging strategy may mitigate the impact that changes in
interest rates would have on the price of agency mortgage securities (and
therefore to some extent on the price of the Company's private-label mortgage
securities), such strategy does not protect the Company against the effects of a
widening or narrowing in the pricing spread between agency mortgage securities
and the Company's private-label mortgage securities. Therefore, any significant
widening or narrowing of the spread commanded by agency mortgage securities
compared to the Company's private-label mortgage securities could have a
positive or negative effect on the financial performance of the Company,
regardless of the efficiency of the Company's execution of its hedging strategy.

With respect to the Company's portfolio of jumbo and nonconforming adjustable-
rate loans, the Company generally utilizes forward sales of short-term Treasury
futures to hedge against the effects of interest rate fluctuations. Although
short-term Treasury futures may protect the Company's adjustable-rate loan
portfolio against fluctuations of short-term interest rates, such hedging
activities may not always result in precise inverse correlation to changes in
the values of the underlying mortgage loans. The lack of exact inverse
correlation is due to such factors as changes in the relative pricing discount
between mortgage securities and Treasury securities, differences between the
applicable adjustable-rate index and the underlying Treasury security and
perceived credit risks in the whole loan market. To the extent any changes in
the value of the instruments used to hedge the risk of interest rate
fluctuations do not inversely correlate precisely to the risks affecting the
value of the Company's adjustable rate mortgage loan portfolio, the financial
performance of the Company could be negatively or positively impacted.

The Company's decision to form REMICs or CMOs or sell whole loans in bulk is
influenced by a variety of factors. REMIC transactions are generally accounted
for as sales of the mortgage loans and may eliminate or minimize any long-term
residual investment by the Company in such loans, depending on the extent to
which the Company decides to retain residual or other interests. REMIC
securities typically consist of one or more classes of "regular interests" and a
single class of "residual interest." The regular interests are tailored to the
needs of investors and may be issued in multiple classes with varying
maturities, average lives and interest rates. These regular interests are
predominately senior securities but, in conjunction with providing credit
enhancement, may be subordinated to the rights of other regular interests. The
residual interest represents the remainder of the cash flows from the mortgage
loans (including, in some instances, reinvestment income) over the amounts
required to be distributed to the regular interests. In some cases, the regular
interests may be structured so that there is no significant residual cash flow,
thereby allowing the Company to sell its entire interest in the mortgage loans.
As a result, in some cases the capital originally invested in the mortgage loans
by the Company may be redeployed in the mortgage conduit operations. The Company
may also retain regular and residual interests on a short-term or long-term
basis. The creation of REMIC securities through Indy Mac is the Company's
preferred method of securitizing mortgage loans, because this method provides
the maximum flexibility in structuring securities for sale to the broadest group
of investors and may permit the redeployment of a portion of the capital of the
Company. Beginning in the third quarter of 1993, the Company began issuing all
of its REMIC securities utilizing a shelf registration statement established by
CWMBS, Inc., a wholly owned limited purpose finance subsidiary of CCI. Neither
CWMBS, Inc. nor CCI derived any financial benefit from such issuances.

As an alternative to REMIC sales, the Company may issue CMOs to finance mortgage
loans to maturity.  For accounting and tax purposes, the mortgage loans financed
through the issuance of CMOs are treated as assets of the Company, and the CMOs
are treated as debt of the Company.  The Company earns the net interest spread
between the interest income on the mortgage loans and the interest and other
expenses associated with the CMO financing.  The net interest spread will be
directly impacted by the levels of prepayment of the underlying mortgage loans
and, to the extent CMO classes have variable rates of interest, may be affected
by changes in short-term interest rates.  The Company is required to retain a
residual interest in its issued CMOs.  The Company may

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
issue CMOs from time to time based on the Company's current and future
investment needs, market conditions and other factors. CMOs, however, do not
offer the Company the structuring flexibility of REMICs and are expected to be a
secondary method of securitizing the Company's mortgage loans.

     Credit Enhancement.  REMICs or CMOs created by the Company are structured
so that in general substantially all of such securities are rated investment
grade by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating agency.  In
contrast to mortgage-backed securities in which the principal and interest
payments are guaranteed by the U.S. government or an agency thereof, securities
created by the Company do not benefit from any such guarantee.  The ratings for
the Company's mortgage-backed securities are based on the perceived credit risk
by the applicable rating agency of the underlying mortgage loans, the structure
of the securities and the associated level of credit enhancement.  Credit
enhancement is designed to provide protection to the security holders in the
event of borrower defaults and other losses including those associated with
fraud or reductions in the principal balances or interest rates on mortgage
loans as required by law or a bankruptcy court.  The Company can utilize
multiple forms of credit enhancement, including bond insurance guarantees,
mortgage pool insurance, special hazard insurance, reserve funds, letters of
credit, surety bonds and subordination, or any combination thereof.

In determining whether to provide credit enhancement through bond insurance,
subordination or other credit enhancement methods, the Company will take into
consideration the costs associated with each method.  The Company principally
provides credit enhancement through the issuance of mortgage-backed securities
in senior/subordinated structures.  The subordinated securities may be sold,
retained by the Company and accumulated for sale in subsequent transactions or
retained as long term investments.

     Retention of Mortgage-Backed Securities and Other Investments.  In
connection with the issuance of mortgage-backed securities or other investments
in the form of REMICs or CMOs, the Company may retain subordinated securities or
regular or residual interests (including residual interests that may be
subordinated to other classes of securities) on a short-term or long-term basis.
Any such retained residual or regular interest may include "principal-only" or
"interest-only" securities, including securitized master servicing fees and
master servicing fees receivable ("master servicing assets"), or other interest
rate- or prepayment-sensitive securities or investments. The Company has assumed
a certain degree of credit risk in relation to its portfolio of subordinated
securities. See "Credit Risk" below.

     Master servicing assets have characteristics similar to excess servicing
fees; accordingly, they have many of the same risks inherent in excess servicing
fees, including the risk that they will lose a substantial portion of their
value as a result of rapid prepayments occasioned by declining interest rates.
It is also possible that under certain high prepayment scenarios the Company
would not recoup its initial investment in such receivables. Investments in
master servicing assets have values which tend to move inversely to the values
of the retained subordinated and principal-only securities as interest rates
change. For example, as interest rates decline, prepayments tend to increase and
the value of the Company's master servicing assets tend to decrease. By
contrast, in a declining interest rate environment, the Company's portfolio of
subordinated securities and principal-only securities would tend to increase.
The Company seeks to manage the effects of rising and falling interest rates
through investing in financial instruments with contrasting sensitivity to
interest rates; however, there can be no assurance that this strategy will
succeed under any particular interest rate scenario. In addition, during 1995
the Company acquired call options on U.S. Treasury bonds and interest rates
floors that react inversely to changes in interest rates compared to the
Company's master servicing assets, in an effort to further reduce the interest
rate risk associated with such master servicing assets. The Company intends to
hold master servicing assets for investment.

MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT

In an effort to generate continuing earnings that are less dependent upon
quarterly loan purchase volumes than the Company's loan purchase and
securitization activities, the Company seeks to selectively invest in mortgage
loans on a long-term basis.  The Company finances the acquisition of such loans
with its capital, borrowings under the repurchase agreements and other credit
facilities referred to under "--Financing Sources" below.  The Company has
assumed a certain degree of credit risk in relation to its portfolio of mortgage
loans held for investment. See "Credit Risk" below.

CONSTRUCTION LENDING

The Company's construction lending division, CLCA, was separated into two
operating divisions during 1995.  The Builder Division provides tract
construction loans, builder custom home loans, model home loans and land loans
on a nationwide basis to small-to-medium size builders.  The Consumer Division
provides construction-to-permanent financing, home improvement loans and lot
financing to individual borrowers who wish to construct or remodel their
principal or secondary residences.

The baseline project for CLCA's  Builder division is 15 to 100 units of single-
family homes, built in one to five phases, that are marketed to entry
level/first-time or trade-up buyers.  In general, the maximum loan size per
project is $15 million.  The specific terms of any construction loan, including
the principal amount thereof, are based upon, among other things, the location
of the project, the value of the land and the financial strength, historical
performance and other qualifications of the builder.  All construction loans to
builders are subject to the prior approval of a credit committee comprised of
senior officers of CWM.

Combined construction-to-permanent loans, home improvement loans and lot loans
are originated by Indy Mac's sellers to borrowers who wish to construct or
remodel their residences or purchase lots for future construction of residences.
CLCA's Consumer Lending Division assists Indy Mac in the purchase of such loans
and administers the construction draws.  Under these programs, all loans are
prior-approved and underwritten to Indy Mac standard guidelines for borrower
qualifications, as well as other detailed criteria.  Criteria for the permanent
loans are similar to those applied by Indy Mac to loan purchases generally.  In
general the maximum construction-to-permanent loan size is $1 million.  The
Company has assumed a certain degree of credit risk in relation to its
construction lending activities.  See "Credit Risk" below.

WAREHOUSE LENDING

WLCA engages in warehouse and secured lending operations for small- and medium-
size mortgage originators. The Company's traditional warehouse lending
facilities typically provide short-term revolving financing to mortgage
companies to finance mortgage loans during the time between the closing of a
loan and its sale to investors. Although the loans financed by WLCA through its
traditional warehouse lending activities represent a broader line of mortgage
products than those currently purchased by the Company, at present all of such
loan products purchased by the Company are eligible for financing by WLCA under
the repurchase agreements used by WLCA to fund its operations. WLCA also
provides credit facilities to mortgage originators of all sizes secured by other
mortgage-related assets such as servicing rights and servicing sales
receivables.

Under its standard program, WLCA offers credit facilities to otherwise qualified
mortgage originators with a minimum audited net worth of $100,000 and subject to
a maximum debt-to-net-worth ratio of 20 to 1.  Under its Advantage Line and
Captive Line programs, WLCA offers credit facilities to otherwise qualified
mortgage originators with a minimum net worth of $25,000.  The specific terms of
any warehouse line of credit, including the maximum principal amount, are 
determined based upon

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
the financial strength, historical performance and other qualifications of the
mortgage originator.  All lines of credit under the standard program are subject
to the prior approval of a credit committee comprised of senior officers of CWM.
WLCA finances these programs through a combination of repurchase agreements,
equity and other borrowings.  WLCA has two committed two-year repurchase
agreement facilities with two investment banks with sublimits in an aggregate 
amount of up to $500 million for certain of its warehouse lending operations.

MANUFACTURED HOUSING

INHS, a division of Indy Mac, was established in December 1995 to provide
financing to consumers who are purchasing or refinancing a new or used
manufactured home. INHS plans to solicit business through established dealer
networks, brokers, "in-park" marketing activities and direct consumer marketing.

CREDIT RISK

The Company has assumed a certain degree of credit risk in its investments in
mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage securities, construction loans and
warehouse lines of credit.  The Company evaluates and monitors its exposure to
credit losses and has established a reserve for anticipated credit losses based
upon estimated future losses on the loans, general economic  conditions and
trends in portfolio volume.

The Company has experienced an increase in delinquencies associated with its
investments in mortgage loans.  This increase can primarily be attributed to the
seasoning, or aging, of the portfolio.  As of December 31, 1995, the Company had
accumulated $4.7 million in loan loss reserves associated with the mortgage
loans owned by both CWM and Indy Mac, and net charge-offs from inception to date
total $583,000.  In addition, as of December 31, 1995, the Company has not
accrued any income on mortgage loans 90 days or greater past due where full
collectibility is in doubt.

The Company has invested in subordinated securities with ratings ranging from AA
to unrated. As of December 31, 1995 investment grade securities (i.e., rating of
BBB or higher) comprise 69% of the Company's MBS portfolio. In general,
subordinated securities bear all losses prior to the related senior securities.
Indy Mac's subordinated securities portfolio was acquired at a discount of $78.3
million to such securities' face value.  This discount primarily reflects
estimates of future expected losses.

With respect to its construction loan portfolio and warehouse lending
operations, the Company has sought to institute significant operational controls
in order to help minimize credit risk. There have been no charge-offs with
respect to construction loans as of December 31, 1995. Since the Company's
current actual experience is not necessarily indicative of future losses, as of
December 31, 1995, $766,000 in loan loss reserves has been allocated to
construction lending activities. The warehouse lending program commenced in May
1993. Since that time there has been one loan write-off amounting to
approximately $45,000 that was not subsequently recovered. Since the Company's
current actual experience is not necessarily indicative of future losses, as of
December 31, 1995, $647,000 in loan loss reserves have been allocated to
warehouse lending activities.

In addition to the creation of reserves, the Company established a  risk
management committee during 1995 to further manage the Company's exposure to
credit losses.  This committee reviews the products the Company offers, the
authority limits of the Company's customers and personnel and customers'
performance, and implements changes that seek to balance the Company's credit
risk with the Company's production and profitability goals.  While management
cannot make any predictions as to the extent to which the Company will incur
credit losses and any related effect on earnings, significant controls are in
place in an effort to reduce exposure in this area.

FINANCING SOURCES

The Company uses proceeds from the sale of REMIC securities and CMOs, repurchase
agreements, other borrowings and issuance of common stock to meet its working
capital needs.  For further information on the material terms of the borrowings
utilized by the Company to finance its inventory of mortgage loans and mortgage-
backed securities, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."  The
Company continues to investigate and pursue alternative and supplementary
methods to finance its operations through the public and private capital and
credit markets.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

CWM has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and
intends to continue to do so.  Indy Mac is not a qualified REIT subsidiary and
is not consolidated with CWM for either tax or financial reporting purposes.
Consequently, Indy Mac is subject to applicable federal and state income taxes.
CWM will include in taxable income amounts earned by Indy Mac only when Indy Mac
remits its after-tax earnings by dividend to the Company.

CWM's election to be treated as a REIT will be terminated automatically if CWM
fails to meet the requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code.
Qualification as a REIT requires that CWM satisfy a variety of tests relating to
its income, assets, distribution and ownership.  Although CWM believes it has
operated and intends to continue to operate in such a manner as to qualify as a
REIT, no assurance can be given that CWM will in fact continue to so qualify.
If CWM fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be subject to
federal corporate income tax (including any alternative minimum tax) on its
taxable income at regular corporate rates, and distributions to its shareholders
would not be deductible by CWM.  In that event, CWM would not be eligible again
to elect REIT status until the fifth taxable year which begins after the year
for which CWM's election was terminated unless certain relief provisions apply.
CWM may also voluntarily revoke its election, although it has no intention of
doing so, in which event CWM would be prohibited, without exception, from
electing REIT status for the year to which the revocation relates and the
following four taxable years.

Distributions to shareholders of CWM with respect to any year in which CWM fails
to qualify would not be deductible by CWM nor would they be required to be made
to such shareholders.  In such event, to the extent of current and accumulated
earnings and profits, any distributions to shareholders would be taxable as
ordinary income and, subject to certain limitations in the Code, eligible for
the dividends-received deduction for corporations.  Failure to qualify would
reduce the amount of after-tax earnings available for distribution to
shareholders and could result in CWM incurring substantial indebtedness (to the
extent borrowings are feasible), or disposing of substantial investments, in
order to pay the resulting taxes or, at the discretion of CWM, to maintain the
level of CWM's distributions to its shareholders.

EXCESS INCLUSION INCOME

A portion of CWM's assets may be in the form of CMO residual interests.  In
general, CMOs are debt instruments secured by fixed pools of mortgage
instruments in which investors hold multiple classes of interests.  Part or all
of the income derived by CWM from a residual interest of a CMO issued by CWM
after December 31, 1991, pursuant to regulations yet to be published, may be
"excess inclusion" income.  Such excess inclusion income generally is subject to
federal income tax in all events.  If CWM pays any dividends to its shareholders
that are attributable to excess inclusion income, the shareholders who receive
such dividends generally will be subject to the same tax consequences that would
apply if they derived excess inclusion income from a direct investment in a CMO
residual interest.  Excess inclusion income allocable to a shareholder may not

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
be offset by current deductions or net operating losses of such shareholder.
Moreover, such excess inclusion income constitutes unrelated business taxable
income for tax-exempt entities (including employee benefit plans) and would be
subject to a tax that would be allocable to a "disqualified organization"
holding the Company's shares.  CWM's  bylaws provide that disqualified
organizations are ineligible to hold CWM's shares.

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

Since its inception, CWM has each year entered into a management agreement with
CAMC pursuant to which CAMC advises the Company on various facets of the
Company's business and manages the Company's day-to-day operations. Subject to
the supervision of CWM's Board of Directors, CAMC conducts the Company's day-to-
day mortgage conduit, warehouse lending and construction lending operations. The
management agreement may be terminated by the CWM under certain circumstances
upon 30 days' prior notice, or by either party upon 60 days' prior notice. The
management agreement is renewable annually and expires May 16, 1996. CHL has
guaranteed the performance of the duties and obligations of CAMC under the
management agreement. CAMC has subcontracted with CHL to provide certain
management services to the Company. Such subcontract may be terminated by either
party upon 60 days' prior notice.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH COUNTRYWIDE ENTITIES

CWM and CCI are each publicly-traded companies whose shares of common stock are
listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company utilizes the mortgage banking
experience, management expertise and resources of CCI, CAMC and CHL in
conducting the Company's mortgage conduit, construction lending and warehouse
lending operations. CAMC and CHL are both wholly owned subsidiaries of CCI. CCI
directly or indirectly owns approximately 2.6% of the Common Stock of CWM. In
addition, a number of directors and officers of CWM and Indy Mac also serve as
Directors and/or officers of CCI, CAMC and/or CHL. See "Item 13, Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions." CHL owns all of the outstanding voting
common stock and a 1% economic interest in Indy Mac, and CWM owns all of the
outstanding non-voting preferred stock and a 99% economic interest in Indy Mac.

HISTORICAL OPERATIONS

Prior to the initiation of the Company's mortgage conduit and warehouse lending
operations in 1993 and the initiation of its construction lending operations in
1994, the Company was principally a long-term investor in single-family, first-
lien, residential mortgage loans and in mortgage-backed securities representing
interests in such loans.  The Company's mortgage investment portfolio consisted
primarily of fixed-rate mortgage pass-through certificates issued by FHLMC or
FNMA (collectively, "Agency Securities") and nonconforming mortgage loans.  The
principal source of earnings for the Company historically was interest income
generated from investments in such mortgage loans and mortgage-backed
securities, net of the interest expense on the CMOs or repurchase agreements
used to finance such mortgage investments.

During 1993 and continuing in the beginning of 1994, long-term interest rates,
including mortgage rates, fell to their lowest levels in nearly 20 years. The
portfolio of mortgage investments financed by CMOs experienced substantial
prepayments, resulting in significantly decreased net earnings, and as mortgage
loan premiums, original issue discount and bond issuance costs were required to
be amortized, losses on the portfolio were realized. As interest rates rose
during 1994, principal prepayments on the underlying mortgage loans declined and
the Company experienced stabilization of its CMO Portfolio, resulting in a
decrease in the net interest expense on the CMO Portfolio in 1995 compared to
1994 and 1993.  Regardless of the level of interest rates or prepayments, CWM
anticipates no significant earnings from this CMO Portfolio, and CWM could incur
additional

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
losses. Any continued negative performance of this CMO Portfolio will continue
to adversely impact the earnings of CWM to the extent of its investment in such
portfolio.

COMPETITION

In its conduit operations, the Company competes with established mortgage
conduit programs, investment banking firms, banks, savings and loan
associations, GSEs, mortgage bankers and other lenders and entities purchasing
mortgage assets. Mortgage-backed securities issued through the Company's
mortgage conduit operations face competition from other investment opportunities
available to prospective investors.

The GSEs have made and will continue to make significant technological and
economic advances to broaden their customer bases.  There has been much debate
and discussion in Congress and in the news media as to the proper role of these
agencies. If the GSEs contract or expand, there may a positive or negative
impact on the Company's conduit operations.  The Company seeks to address these
competitive pressures by making a strong effort to maximize its use of
technology by diversifying into other lines of business that are less impacted
by GSEs and by operating in a more cost-effective manner compared to its
competitors, but there can be no assurance that these efforts will succeed.

FNMA and FHLMC are not permitted to purchase mortgage loans with original
principal balances above $207,000 (effective January 1, 1996). If this dollar
limitation increases, FNMA and FHLMC may be able to purchase a greater
percentage of the loans in the secondary market than they currently acquire, and
the Company's ability to maintain or increase its current loan acquisition
levels could be adversely affected.

WLCA and CLCA face competition from banks and other financial institutions. Many
of these institutions have significantly greater financial resources and a lower
cost of funds than the Company. The Company seeks to compete with these
institutions through an emphasis on quality of service and diversified products.

EMPLOYEES

All employees and operating management of the Company are presently employees of
CAMC, a CCI subsidiary and manager of the Company.  As of December 31, 1995,
CAMC had 245 employees dedicated to the Company's mortgage conduit, warehouse
lending, construction lending and other operations.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

GENERAL

CWM Mortgage Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Maryland in July
1985 and reincorporated in the state of Delaware in March 1987.  References to
"CWM" mean either the parent company alone or the parent company and the
entities consolidated for financial reporting purposes, while references to the
"Company" mean the parent company, its consolidated subsidiaries and
Independent National Mortgage Corporation ("Indy Mac"), which is not
consolidated with CWM for financial reporting or tax purposes.

In its mortgage loan conduit business, the Company acts as an intermediary
between the originators of mortgage loans and permanent investors in mortgage-
backed securities ("MBS") secured by or representing an ownership interest in
such mortgage loans. The Company purchases "jumbo" and other "nonconforming"
mortgage loans from mortgage originators who generally retain the servicing
rights.  All loans purchased by CWM, for which a Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduit ("REMIC") transaction or whole loan sale is contemplated, are committed
for sale to Indy Mac at the same price at which the loans were acquired by CWM.
At present, Indy Mac does not purchase any loans from entities other than CWM.
The Company's principal sources of income from its mortgage conduit operations
are gains recognized on the sale of mortgage loans, the net spread between
interest earned on mortgage loans and the interest costs associated with the
borrowings used to finance such loans pending their securitization, the net
interest earned on the Company's investment portfolio and mortgage securities,
and master servicing fee income.  In addition, the Company earns fee income and
net interest income through its construction and warehouse lending programs. The
construction lending operation consists of two distinct divisions:  (i) the
Builder Division, which  provides tract construction loans, builder custom home
loans, model home loans and lot  financing on a nationwide basis to small-to-
medium size builders, and (ii) the Consumer Division, which provides
construction-to-permanent financing, home improvement loans and lot financing to
individual borrowers who wish to construct or remodel their principal or
secondary residences.  The warehouse lending operation provides financing  to
small- and medium-size mortgage originators for the origination and sale of
mortgage loans, the retention, acquisition or sale of servicing rights and the
carrying of mortgage loans pending foreclosure and/or repurchase from an
investor.

In the first quarter of 1995, the Company introduced a new division, Independent
National Finance Corporation ("INFC"), to purchase, securitize and sell mortgage
loans to borrowers with prior adverse credit circumstances (i.e., "B through D"
paper mortgages).  The Company earns fee income and net interest income from
this program and will recognize gains or losses from the sale of such loans once
adequately sized pools of loans have been purchased for securitization.

Prior to 1993, the Company's principal source of earnings had been net interest
income generated from its mortgage portfolio which was primarily financed
through the issuance of CMOs (the "CMO Portfolio").  The amount of net interest
earned on the CMO Portfolio is directly affected by the rate of principal
repayment (including prepayments) of the related mortgage loans.  When
prevailing mortgage interest rates are low relative to interest rates of
existing mortgage loans, prepayments on the underlying mortgage loans generally
tend to increase as mortgagors refinance their existing loans.  The cash flow
generated by these prepayments is used to repay the CMOs which are
collateralized by these mortgage loans.  However, the remaining mortgage loans
typically carry a lower coupon, and the interest spread between these loans and
the underlying financing thus narrows.  The CMO Portfolio

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
experienced accelerated prepayments during 1993 through the beginning of 1994,
and since mortgage loan premiums, original issue discount and bond issuance
costs were required to be amortized, losses were realized on the CMO Portfolio
during those periods. As mortgage rates rose during 1994, principal prepayments
on the underlying mortgage loans declined and the Company experienced
stabilization of the CMO Portfolio, resulting in a decrease in the net interest
expense on the CMO Portfolio in 1995 compared to 1994.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

CONDUIT OPERATIONS:  During 1995, CWM purchased $4.2 billion of non-conforming
mortgage loans, including $49.4 million of "B through D" paper mortgage loans
through INFC.  These loans were financed on an interim basis using equity and
short-term financing in the form of repurchase agreements and other borrowings.
In general, the Company, through Indy Mac, sells the loans in the form of REMIC
securities or whole loan sales or, alternatively, through CWM invests in the
loans on a long-term basis using financing provided by CMOs or repurchase
agreements and other credit facilities.  During 1995, Indy Mac sold $3.7 billion
of mortgage loans through the issuance of 22 series of multiple-class MBS in the
form of REMIC securities and sold $17 million of non-conforming mortgage loans
as whole loans. At December 31, 1995, the Company was committed to purchase
$436.2 million of mortgage loans from various mortgage originators. The Indy Mac
master servicing portfolio at year-end had an aggregate outstanding principal
balance of $9.4 billion with a weighted average coupon of 8.35%.

MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT:  The $1.4 billion portfolio of mortgage
loans held for investment at December 31, 1995 consisted of $888.4 million of
varying types of adjustable-rate products which contractually reprice in
monthly, semi-annual or annual periods; $369.4 million of mortgage loans which
have a fixed rate for a period of three, five, seven or ten years and
subsequently convert to adjustable-rate mortgage loans that reprice annually and
$171.8 million of fixed-rate mortgage loans.  The weighted average coupon of the
mortgage loans held for investment at December 31, 1995 was 8.82%.   The Company
finances mortgage loans held for investment with repurchase agreements and other
credit facilities which have maturities ranging from overnight to 17 months as
of December 31, 1995.  The Company also utilizes interest rate swap agreements
to manage the interest rate exposure on its portfolio of mortgage loans held for
investment.  In addition, in December 1995, the Company traded a CMO for
settlement in January 1996, to finance $154.7 million of mortgage loans in the
portfolio whose rate begins to adjust after a fixed term of ten years.  The
allowance for losses related to mortgage loans held for investment totaled $2.9
million at year end.

CONSTRUCTION LENDING OPERATIONS:  At December 31, 1995, the Builder Division
had loans outstanding totaling $86.0 million with $144.7 million of remaining
commitments to fund tract and custom home loans.  The Consumer Division had
loans outstanding at December 31, 1995 totaling $44.1 million with remaining
commitments to fund construction-to-permanent and home improvement loans of
$26.9 million.  The allowance for losses related to construction loans totaled
$766,000 at December 31, 1995.  The Company had outstanding borrowings under a
revolving credit facility totaling $50.2 million at December 31, 1995 associated
with the financing of construction loans.

WAREHOUSE LENDING OPERATIONS:  At December 31, 1995, CWM had extended committed
warehouse and related lines of credit in an aggregate amount of $342.9 million,
of which $191.4 million was outstanding.  The allowance for loan losses related
to warehouse lines of credit totaled $647,000 at December 31, 1995.  Repurchase
agreements associated with CWM's financing of these lines of credit totaled
$155.8 million at December 31, 1995.

                                       17

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1995 COMPARED TO 1994

NET EARNINGS:  CWM's net earnings were $50.0 million, or $1.25 per share, based
on 39,902,680 weighted average shares outstanding for 1995, compared to $27.8
million, or $0.86 per share, based on 32,183,850 weighted average shares
outstanding for 1994.  The increase in net earnings of $22.2 million was
primarily due to an increase in earnings of $17.0 million associated with CWM's
mortgage conduit activities, including its equity in earnings of Indy Mac and
the Company's warehouse and construction lending operations, combined with a
decrease in the loss associated with the CMO Portfolio of $5.2 million.

The increase in net earnings related to CWM's mortgage conduit activities is
principally due to an increase in net interest income and equity in earnings of
Indy Mac of $17.9 million and $8.2 million, respectively, combined with an
increase in other net revenues of $542,000, offset by increases in the provision
for loan losses and expenses of $3.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

The decrease in the net loss on the CMO Portfolio is primarily due to a decrease
in net interest expense of $5.2 million.

INTEREST INCOME:   Total interest income was $180.5 million for 1995 and $92.1
million for 1994.  The increase of $88.4 million in interest income was
primarily the result of an increase of $77.5 million in interest on mortgage
loans held for investment, with additional increases in interest earned on
construction loans, warehouse lines of credit and advances to Indy Mac of $6.5
million, $5.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively.  These increases were
offset by a reduction in the interest income on collateral for CMOs of $4.4
million.

Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for investment totaled $97.7
million during 1995 compared to $20.2 million during 1994.  The substantial
increase from 1994 is the result of an increase in the average amount of loans
held for investment during the year combined with an increase in the average
yield.  The average principal balance of loans held for investment was $1.2
billion during 1995 with interest earned at an effective yield of 8.08%,
compared to the average principal balance of loans  held for investment during
1994 of $272.8 million with interest earned at an effective rate of 7.39%.

Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale totaled $34.7 million
and $34.2 million, resulting in an effective yield of 9.22% and 7.27%,
respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.

Interest income on construction loans totaled $6.5 million and $93,000 during
1995 and 1994, respectively.  The average principal balance of construction
loans outstanding totaled $49.5 million during 1995, representing an increase of
$48.6 million from the average principal balance of $825,000 during 1994.
Interest was earned at an effective yield of 13.24% and 11.22% in 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

Interest income on revolving warehouse and related lines of credit totaled $10.0
million and $4.4 million with interest earned at an effective yield of 9.50% and
7.53% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Interest income on collateral for CMOs was $17.3 million and $21.7 million for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decline was
attributable to a decrease in the average aggregate principal amount of
collateral for CMOs outstanding,

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
from $290.2 million for 1994 to $213.3 million for 1995, offset by an increase
in the effective yield earned on the collateral from 7.47% in 1994 to 8.09% in
1995. Interest income on collateral for CMOs includes the impact of amortization
of premiums paid in connection with acquiring the CMO Portfolio and the impact
of the delay in the receipt of prepayments and temporary investment in lower
yielding short-term holdings (GICs) until such amounts are used to repay CMOs.
Accordingly, during periods of higher interest rates and reduced prepayments, as
in 1995 compared to 1994, amortization of premium declines and the amount of the
non-earning assets associated with the delay in the receipt of prepayments,
combined with the lower yielding GICs, are reduced relative to the portfolio,
resulting in a higher effective yield.

SECURITIZED MASTER SERVICING FEES, NET:

Investments in securitized master servicing fees have characteristics comparable
to "excess servicing" insofar as their value tends to decline as market interest
rates decline and prepayment rates increase.  Accordingly, the yield on this
investment could decline considerably as a result of rapid prepayments
occasioned by declining interest rates.  It is also possible that under certain
high prepayment scenarios the Company would not recoup its initial investment in
such assets.  In this scenario, the Company would write down its securitized
master servicing fees asset so that the remaining asset does not exceed the
present value of future net master servicing income.  Gross master servicing
income for CWM was $27.2 million  and $14.7 for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.  This gross income was offset by amortization of
the securitized master servicing fees of $19.8 million, including $2.7 million
of unscheduled amortization, and $7.5 million, including $411,000 of unscheduled
amortization, for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  In
September 1994, the Company began securitizing master servicing fees receivable
to facilitate the financing of this asset.  As of December 31, 1995, securitized
master servicing fees of $120.3 million were pledged to secure borrowings
totaling $61.8 million.

INTEREST EXPENSE:  For 1995 and 1994, total interest expense was $131.9 million
and $66.7 million, respectively.  The increase of $65.2 million in interest
expense is the result of an increase in the interest expense on repurchase
agreements and other credit facilities and senior unsecured notes of $73.8
million and $999,000, respectively, offset by a reduction in the interest
expense on CMOs of $9.6 million.

Interest expense on repurchase agreements and other credit facilities used to
finance mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage loans held for investment, master
servicing fees receivable, construction loans and revolving warehouse lines of
credit totaled $113.4 million during 1995 compared to $39.6 million during 1994.
The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in the
aggregate average balance of indebtedness outstanding for the year from $754.4
million in 1994 to $1.7 billion in 1995, combined with an increase in the
weighted average effective interest rate from 5.25% in 1994 to 6.74% in 1995.

During 1995, CWM issued senior unsecured notes with a face amount of $60.5
million, bearing interest at rates ranging from 8.86% to 8.91%.  CWM recognized
interest expense totaling $999,000 related to the senior unsecured notes during
1995.  The effective cost of the notes, including costs of issuance, was 9.22%.

Interest expense on CMOs was $17.5 million and $27.1 million for 1995 and 1994,
respectively. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in average
aggregate CMOs outstanding to $185.1 million for 1995 from $263.8 million for
1994, combined with

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
a decrease in the weighted average cost of CMOs to 9.47% in 1995 from 10.28% in
1994. The decrease in the average balance of CMOs was directly related to the
prepayment activity on collateral for CMOs as discussed above. The prepayments
are ultimately used to repay the related CMOs. As interest rates increase and
prepayments decline on the underlying collateral, the amortization of original
issue discount and bond issue costs also decreases, resulting in a lower
effective rate of interest expense on the portfolio.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF INDY MAC: CWM owns 100% of the preferred stock and has a
99% economic interest in Indy Mac.  During 1995, earnings of Indy Mac resulted
principally from net interest income of $18.1 million, gains on sales of
mortgage loans and issuance of securities of $22.7 million and gains on sales of
mortgage securities available for sale of $8.2 million, offset by a provision
for loan losses of $2.2 million, expenses of $20.7 million, management fee
expense of $1.8 million and income taxes of $10.4 million.  During 1994,
earnings of Indy Mac resulted principally from net interest income of $6.4
million, gains on sales of mortgage loans and issuance of securities of $9.4
million, gains on sales of mortgage securities available for sale of $205,000
and gains on the sale of servicing of $7.3 million, offset by expenses of $13.5
million, management fee expense of $334,000 and income taxes of $3.8 million.

Indy Mac master serviced loans with principal balances aggregating $9.4 billion
at December 31, 1995, compared to $6.8 billion at December 31, 1994.  The growth
in the master servicing portfolio during 1994 and 1995 was the result of loan
production volume from the Company's conduit operations, partially offset by
prepayments of mortgage loans.  The weighted average interest rate of the
mortgage loans in the master servicing portfolio at December 31, 1995 and 1994
was 8.35% and 7.38%, respectively.  The mix of fixed- rate product and
adjustable-rate product was 74% and 26%, respectively, at December 31, 1995.

Net income related to the securitized master servicing fees and master servicing
fees receivable totaled $9.2 million in 1995, including gross income of $23.1
million, offset by amortization of the related asset balances of $13.9 million.
Net master servicing income in 1994 totaled $1.1 million, including gross income
of $7.6 million, offset by amortization of the asset balances totaling $6.5
million.

As previously discussed, investments in securitized master servicing fees and
master servicing fees receivable ("master servicing assets") have
characteristics comparable to "excess servicing" insofar as their value tends to
decline as prepayment rates increase. During 1994, there was no write-down of
the master servicing assets. During 1995, Indy Mac experienced an increase in
prepayment rates as interest rates declined in the latter part of the year. As a
result, Indy Mac recorded write-downs on the master servicing assets totaling
$835,000 during 1995.

The portfolio of mortgage securities available for sale held by Indy Mac
includes subordinated securities and principal-only and inverse-floater
securities with market values which tend to perform inversely to the master
servicing assets.  Indy Mac's investments in subordinated securities are
comprised of $271.8 million of securities issued by Indy Mac with ratings
ranging from AA to non-rated. At December 31, 1995, 70% of these securities were
investment grade (i.e., rated "BBB" or better). The pre-tax unrealized gain
associated with the mortgage securities available for sale totaled $13.7 million
at December 31, 1995.

In an effort to further reduce the Company's sensitivity to interest rates with
respect to the master servicing assets, the Company acquires other financial
instruments, including

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
derivative contracts such as call options on U.S. Treasury bonds and interest
rate floors, that react inversely to changes in interest rates in relation to
the master servicing fees receivable assets.

SALARIES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:   The increase from $2.4 million
for the year ended December 31, 1994 to $4.2 million for the year ended December
31, 1995 is primarily the result of additional staffing and increased operating
costs related to the construction lending and warehouse lending operations as
the Company has developed and expanded these business lines.

MANAGEMENT FEES:   For 1995, management fees were $5.5 million compared to $1.2
million for 1994.  The increase was primarily due to incentive compensation of
$3.8 million payable to Countrywide Asset Management Corporation (the "Manager")
in 1995, directly related to the increase in CWM's earnings during 1995.  During
1994, the Manager waived 25% of this fee.  The waived fees were reflected as an
expense and a corresponding capital contribution in the accompanying financial
statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1994 COMPARED TO 1993

NET EARNINGS:  CWM's net earnings were $27.8 million, or $0.86 per share, based
on 32,183,850 weighted average shares outstanding for 1994 compared to $2.5
million, or $0.13 per share, based on 18,578,307 weighted average shares
outstanding for 1993.  The increase in net earnings of $25.3 million was
primarily due to an increase in earnings of $18.5 million associated with CWM's
mortgage conduit activities, including its equity in earnings of Indy Mac, and
its warehouse lending operations, combined with a decrease in the loss
associated with the CMO Portfolio of $6.8 million.

The increase in net earnings related to CWM's mortgage conduit activities is
principally due to an increase in net interest income and equity in earnings of
Indy Mac of $17.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, offset by an increase
in expenses and a provision for loan losses of $1.6 million and $500,000,
respectively.

The decrease in the net loss on the CMO Portfolio is due to a decrease in net
interest expense of $7.8 million, offset by a gain of $917,000 related to the
sale of mortgage-backed securities that collateralized two CMO series redeemed
in 1993.  There was no such gain in 1994.

INTEREST INCOME: Total interest income was $92.1 million for 1994 and $65.5
million for 1993. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale and
revolving warehouse lines of credit was $34.2 million and $4.4 million,
respectively, for 1994 with interest earned at an effective yield of 7.27% and
7.53%, respectively. Interest earned on mortgage loans held for sale and
revolving warehouse lines of credit was $20.5 million and $1.7 million,
respectively, for 1993 with interest earned at an effective yield of 7.26% and
6.54%, respectively for 1993.

Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for investment was $20.2 million
during 1994 with interest earned at an effective yield of 7.39%.  The Company
began investing in mortgage loans for the purpose of forming an investment
portfolio during 1994, and therefore no such income was reported in 1993.

Interest income on collateral for CMOs was $21.7 million and $41.7 million for
1994 and 1993, respectively.  The decline was attributable to a decrease in the
average aggregate principal amount of collateral for CMOs outstanding, from
$550.5 million for 1993 to

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
$290.2 million for 1994, combined with a decrease in the effective yield earned
on the collateral from 7.57% in 1993 to 7.47% in 1994. The decrease in the
average balance of collateral for CMOs and the effective interest yield earned
thereon was due to the relatively low interest rate environment experienced
during 1993 and the first part of 1994 which resulted in significant prepayment
activity.

SECURITIZED MASTER SERVICING FEES, NET: As of December 31, 1994, CWM had
securitized master servicing fees totaling $121.0 million. Gross master
servicing income for CWM was $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1994.
This gross income was offset by amortization of securitized master servicing
fees of $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, including $411,000 of
unscheduled amortization due to a decline in applicable interest rates.

As of December 31, 1994, securitized master servicing fees totaling $116.2
million were pledged as collateral for borrowings totaling $68.4 million under
repurchase agreements.  These borrowings had original maturities of less than 31
days and a weighted average interest rate of 6.30% as of December 31, 1994.

INTEREST EXPENSE:  For 1994 and 1993, total interest expense was $66.7 million
and $65.3 million, respectively. Interest expense on repurchase agreements
financing mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage loans held for investment,
securitized master servicing fees and revolving warehouse lines of credit was
$39.6 million during 1994 compared to $10.4 million during 1993. The weighted
average balance outstanding was $754.4 million and $271.2 million for 1994 and
1993, respectively.  The effective yield was 5.25% and 3.82% for 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Interest expense on CMOs was $27.1 million and $55.0 million for 1994 and 1993,
respectively. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in average
aggregate CMOs outstanding from $516.2 million for 1993 to $263.8 million for
1994, combined with a decrease in the weighted average cost of CMOs from 10.65%
in 1993 to 10.28% in 1994.  The decrease in the average balance of CMOs was
directly related to the prepayment activity on collateral for CMOs discussed
above.  The decrease in the weighted average cost of CMOs in 1994 compared to
1993 is due to a decrease in the amortization of original issue discounts and
deferred bond issuance costs associated with the decrease in prepayment
activity.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF INDY MAC:  During 1994, earnings of Indy Mac resulted
principally from net interest income of $6.4 million, including net master
servicing income of $1.1 million, gains on sales of mortgage loans of $9.5
million, gains on sale of servicing of $7.3 million, expenses of $13.8 million
and income taxes of $3.8 million.  During 1993, earnings of Indy Mac resulted
principally from net interest expense of $1.4 million, including net master
servicing expenses of $4.5 million, gains on sales of mortgage loans of $8.4
million, expenses of $2.6 million and income taxes of $1.8 million.

At December 31, 1994, Indy Mac master serviced loans with principal balances
aggregating $6.8 billion.  The growth in the master servicing portfolio during
1993 and 1994 was the result of loan production volume from the Company's
conduit operations, partially offset by prepayments of mortgage loans.  The
weighted average interest rate of the mortgage loans in the master servicing
portfolio at December 31, 1994 and 1993 was 7.38% and 7.21%, respectively.

During 1993, Indy Mac experienced significant prepayment activity due to the
then-prevailing low interest rate environment, requiring a write-down of master
servicing fees

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
receivable totaling $6.2 million. As a result, master servicing amortization was
in excess of master servicing income. In 1994, there was no write-down of master
servicing fees receivable due to the decrease in prepayment activity associated
with rising interest rates.

In December 1993, to mitigate the effect on earnings of higher amortization
(which is deducted from master servicing income) resulting from increased
prepayment activity, Indy Mac purchased call options on FNMA mortgage-backed
securities which increase in value when interest rates decline.  As of December
31, 1993, Indy Mac had $300 million of call options on FNMA mortgage-backed
securities which had a book value and an approximate fair market value of $4.1
million.  Amortization of these options, which expired in June of 1994, totaled
$3.6 million and $150,000 in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  There were no call
options outstanding as of December 31, 1994.

The net earnings of Indy Mac for 1993 do not include certain personnel and other
operating expenses totaling $900,000 during the first six months of 1993 which
were absorbed by the manager under the terms of the Company's Management
Agreement. Indy Mac began paying all expenses of its new operations in June
1993.  Indy Mac's salaries and related expenses were $7.9 million and $1.7
million for 1994 and 1993, respectively.  As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the
Manager employed approximately 117 and 55 employees, respectively, on behalf of
Indy Mac.  General and administrative expenses incurred by Indy Mac were $5.6
million and $892,000 for 1994 and 1993, respectively.  This increase is due to
the expansion that occurred in the conduit operation during 1994 as well as the
fact that 1994 included a full year of expenses as compared to six months of
expenses during 1993.

MANAGEMENT FEES:  For 1994 management fees were $1.2 million compared to
$400,000 for 1993.  The increase was primarily due to incentive compensation of
$941,000 payable to the Manager in 1994, directly related to the increase in
CWM's earnings during 1994.  The Manager waived 25% of its incentive
compensation for 1994.  Under the agreement with the Manager, all management
fees were waived for 1993.  Accordingly, such waived fees are reflected as an
expense and a corresponding capital contribution in the accompanying financial
statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company uses proceeds from the issuance of CMOs, repurchase agreements,
other borrowings and common stock to meet its working capital needs.  In
addition, in connection with its mortgage conduit operations, Indy Mac issues
REMIC securities to help meet such needs.

CWM has established a repurchase facility with a leading investment bank,
committed through April 1997 and renewable thereafter, in an aggregate amount up
to $500 million for its mortgage conduit, warehouse lending and consumer
construction lending operations. CWM has also obtained credit approval from the
same lender to enter into additional repurchase agreements associated with the
mortgage conduit operations, under which individual transactions and their terms
will be subject to agreement by the parties based upon market conditions at the
time of each transaction. Additionally, CWM has a master repurchase facility
with the same lender in an aggregate amount of $225 million to provide financing
for securitized master servicing fees and certain mortgage-related securities
which have been retained or purchased by CWM or Indy Mac. CWM has two additional
two-year committed and renewable repurchase facilities with different investment
banks, in an aggregate amount of $300 million and $500 million, for the
Company's mortgage conduit, warehouse lending and consumer construction lending
operations.

                                       23
<PAGE>
 
In May 1995, the Company entered into a two-year committed credit facility in
the aggregate amount of $100 million with First Union National Bank of North
Carolina ("First Union").  During the third quarter of 1995, the Company and
First Union completed the syndication of this credit facility with seven
additional lenders, resulting in an increase in the aggregate credit to $300
million and an extension of the relevant maturity date. This facility finances
mortgage loans, builder construction loans, master servicing and servicing
secured, servicing-receivable and foreclosure/repurchase lines of credit.

During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company raised $59.6 million associated
with the private placement of senior unsecured notes with certain institutional
lenders.

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company completed a public offering in
which 8.05 million shares of the Company's common stock were issued at an
offering price of $9.125 per share, with net proceeds totaling $68.7 million. In
August of 1995, the Company's registration statement relating to the Company's
amended and restated Dividend Reinvestment Stock Purchase Plan (the Dividend
Reinvestment Plan) was declared effective. Primarily through the optional cash
investment feature of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, the Company raised $24.9
million of new capital during the latter part of 1995.

The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code restrict CWM's ability to
retain earnings and thereby replenish the capital committed to its mortgage
portfolio by requiring CWM to distribute to its shareholders substantially all
of its taxable income from operations.

Management believes that the cash flow from operations and the current and
potential financing arrangements are sufficient to meet current liquidity
requirements.  The Company's ability to meet future liquidity requirements is
subject to the renewal of credit facilities and/or obtaining other sources of
financing, including raising additional debt or equity from time to time.

EFFECT OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES

The Company's earnings may be affected by changes in interest rates in a variety
of ways. For example, higher interest rates may depress the market value to an
extent of the Company's investment portfolio if the yield on such holdings does
not keep pace with increases in interest rates. As a result of decreased market
values it could be necessary for the Company to borrow additional funds and
pledge additional assets to maintain financing for its holdings that have not
been financed to maturity through the issuance of CMOs or other debt securities.
Increases in short-term borrowing rates relative to rates earned on holdings
that have not been financed to maturity through the issuance of CMOs or other
debt securities may also adversely affect the Company's earnings. However, the
Company has implemented a hedging strategy which may to an extent mitigate this
adverse effect. In addition, high levels of interest rates tend to decrease the
rate at which mortgages prepay. A decrease in the rate of prepayments may
lengthen the estimated average lives of the underlying mortgages supporting
securitized master servicing fees and master servicing fees receivable and for
classes of the CMOs issued by the Company and may result in higher residual cash
flows from such assets than would otherwise have been obtained. However, higher
rates of interest may also discourage potential mortgagors from borrowing or
refinancing mortgage loans, thus decreasing the volume of loans available to be
purchased through the Company's mortgage conduit operations or financed through
the Company's construction and warehouse lending operations.

Conversely, lower interest rates tend to increase the rate at which mortgages
prepay, which may have an adverse effect on the value of the Company's
securitized master servicing fees

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
and master servicing fees receivable. However, lower interest rates also tend to
improve the Company's mortgage origination and production volumes and increase
the market value, to an extent, of the Company's mortgage loan and mortgage
securities investment portfolio.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



Board of Directors and Shareholders
CWM Mortgage Holdings, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CWM Mortgage
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we 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 significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CWM Mortgage
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have also audited Schedule IV of CWM Mortgage Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries
for the year ended December 31, 1995. In our opinion, this schedule presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be set forth
therein.

                 CWM MORTGAGE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements of CWM Mortgage Holdings, Inc. ("CWM") are
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In
preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.  The following is a summary of the
more significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the
consolidated financial statements.

1.   Financial Statement Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CWM Mortgage
     Holdings, Inc. and its qualified REIT subsidiaries. The mortgage loan
     conduit activities are primarily conducted through Independent National
     Mortgage Corporation ("Indy Mac") a taxable corporation established in
     1993. CWM owns all the preferred stock and has a 99% economic interest in
     Indy Mac. The directors and senior officers of Indy Mac are also senior
     officers of CWM. In addition, Indy Mac's operations and technology are
     dependent upon and closely integrated with CWM, and CWM is the sole
     supplier of mortgage loans purchased by Indy Mac. Accordingly, CWM's
     investment in Indy Mac is accounted for under a method similar to the
     equity method because CWM (as opposed to affiliates of CWM) has the ability
     to exercise significant influence over the financial and operating policies
     of Indy Mac through its ownership of the preferred stock and other
     contracts. Under this method, original investments are recorded at cost and
     adjusted by CWM's share of earnings or losses and decreased by dividends
     received. References to the "Company" mean the parent company, its
     consolidated subsidiaries and Indy Mac.

     All significant intercompany balances and transactions with CWM's
     consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation of CWM.
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for
     the periods ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 to conform to the December 31,
     1995 presentation.

2.   Mortgage Loans Held for Investment, Net

     CWM purchases certain mortgage loans to be held as long-term investments
     and transfers mortgage loans held for sale to the "held for investment"
     designation. Such transfers are recorded at the lower of cost or market on
     the date of transfer. The resulting market discount is amortized to
     interest income over the estimated life of the loan using a level-yield
     method. Premiums paid and discounts obtained on mortgage loans held for
     investment are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the loan
     and amortized to income over the estimated life of the loans using the
     level-yield method. Interest is recognized as revenue when earned according
     to the terms of the mortgage loans and when, in the opinion of management
     it is collectible. Loans are evaluated for collectibility and, if
     appropriate, previously accrued interest is reversed. Mortgage loans held
     for investment are carried at their outstanding balance net of the
     allowance for losses.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

3.   Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

     Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market,
     computed by the aggregate method. Premiums paid and discounts obtained on
     mortgage loans held for sale are deferred as an adjustment to the carrying
     value of the loans until the loans are sold. Interest is recognized as
     revenue when earned according to the terms of the mortgage loans and when,
     in the opinion of management, it is collectible. Loans are evaluated for
     collectibility and, if appropriate, previously accrued interest is
     reversed. All loans purchased by CWM for which a REMIC transaction or
     whole loan sale is contemplated are committed for sale to Indy Mac at the
     same price for which the loans were acquired by CWM. At present, CWM does
     not sell any loans to entities other than Indy Mac.

4.   Collateral for CMOs

     Collateral for CMOs consists of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed
     securities and is carried at the outstanding principal balances net of
     unamortized purchase discounts or premiums. Also included in collateral for
     CMOs are guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") held by trustees and
     accrued interest receivable related to CMO collateral.

5.   Construction Loans Receivable, Net

     Construction loans receivable are carried at the outstanding principal
     balance net of unamortized purchase discounts or premiums and net of
     allowance for losses.

6.   Securitized Master Servicing Fees

     In the second quarter of 1994, Indy Mac repaid certain advances received
     from CWM through the sale of a portion of the securitized master servicing
     fees to CWM at its then carrying value which approximated market value. In
     addition, CWM from time to time invests in securitized master servicing
     fees related to the REMIC securities issued by Indy Mac.

     Interest income on the securitized master servicing fees is recognized at
     an effective yield based upon current estimates of prepayment rates. Cash
     received in excess of the effective yield is applied to amortize the asset.
     CWM evaluates the recoverability of the securitized master servicing fees
     by computing the present value of the asset given current estimates for
     prepayment rates using a risk free rate of return. An impairment write-down
     to fair value is recorded for those securities whose amortized cost exceeds
     the present value at the risk-free rate. The securitized master servicing
     fees values are sensitive to variations in estimates of prepayment rates
     and changes in the risk-free rate. CWM estimates future prepayment rates
     based upon current interest rate levels, economic conditions and market
     forecasts, as well as relevant characteristics of the collateral underlying
     the assets, such as loan types, interest rates and recent prepayment
     experience. The estimates of prepayment rates may change in the near term
     due to changes in interest rates and market conditions. CWM holds
     securitized master servicing fees for investment.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

7.   Revolving Warehouse Lines of Credit, Net

     Revolving warehouse lines of credit are carried at their outstanding
     principal balance net of allowance for losses.

8.   Allowance for Loan Losses

     CWM maintains an allowance for possible credit losses on mortgage loans
     held for investment, construction loans and warehouse lines of credit.
     Additions to the reserve are based on an assessment of certain factors,
     including but not limited to estimated future losses on the loans, general
     economic conditions and trends in portfolio volume, composition, maturity
     and delinquency. Additionally, since the Company's various loan portfolios
     are relatively immature, the Company looks at historical statistics of loan
     portfolios with similar characteristics at other financial institutions.
     Additions to the allowance are provided through a charge to earnings.
     Actual losses on loans are recorded as a reduction to the allowance.
     Subsequent recoveries of items previously charged off are credited back to
     the allowance.

9.   Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) and Deferred Issuance Costs

     Collateralized mortgage obligations are carried at their outstanding
     principal balances net of unamortized original issue discounts. Also
     included in CMOs is accrued interest payable on such obligations. Issuance
     costs have been deferred and are amortized to expense over the estimated
     life of the CMOs using the straight-line method with effect given to
     principal reductions. Such method does not result in any material
     difference compared to the figures that would be realized by utilizing the
     effective interest method. Unamortized deferred issuance costs are included
     in other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

     Premiums paid and discounts obtained on collateral for CMOs are amortized
     to interest income over the estimated life of the mortgage loans using the
     interest method with effect given to principal reductions.

10.  Interest Rate Swap Agreements

     CWM utilizes interest rate swap agreements to help mitigate the interest
     rate risk inherent in its portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment.
     The differential to be received or paid under the agreements is accrued and
     is recognized as an adjustment to net interest income. The related amount
     payable to or receivable from counterparties is included in accounts
     payable and accrued liabilities.

11.  Income Taxes

     CWM intends to operate so as to continue to qualify as a real estate
     investment trust ("REIT") under the requirements of the Internal Revenue
     Code. Requirements for qualification as a REIT include various restrictions
     on ownership of CWM's stock, requirements concerning distribution of
     taxable income and certain restrictions on the nature of assets and sources
     of income. Among other things, a REIT must distribute at least 95% of its
     taxable income to its shareholders, the distribution of which may extend
     until timely filing of its tax return for its subsequent taxable year.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

     Qualifying distributions of its taxable income are deductible by a REIT in
     computing its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes
     has been made for CWM. If in any tax year CWM should not qualify as a REIT,
     it would be taxed as a corporation and distributions to the shareholders
     would not be deductible in computing taxable income. If CWM were to fail to
     qualify as a REIT in any tax year, it would not be permitted to qualify for
     that year and the succeeding four years.

12.  Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number
     of common shares outstanding which were 39,902,680, 32,183,850 and
     18,578,307 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The effect on earnings
     per share resulting from dilution upon exercise of stock options is not
     material in any year and is therefore not presented. Of the total dividends
     per share paid in 1995 and 1993, approximately $0.20 per share and $0.45
     per share, respectively, represented a return of capital. There was no
     return of capital included in dividends paid per share in 1994.

13.  Stock Based Compensation

     CWM grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to officers and
     employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at
     the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in
     accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APBO") No. 25,
     Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and accordingly, recognizes no
     compensation expense for the stock option grants.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
     Compensation, which recommends changes to the recognition of expense in
     connection with the grant of stock options effective for fiscal years
     beginning after December 15, 1995. The standard encourages, but does not
     require, companies to recognize compensation expense (equal to the fair
     value of the options at the grant dates) ratably over the vesting periods.
     Additionally, the standard sets forth new minimum disclosure requirements
     to reflect the proforma adjusted net income calculated by applying the fair
     value requirement. CWM intends to continue the recognition of expense under
     APBO No. 25 and to adopt the additional disclosure requirements set forth
     in SFAS No. 123; therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 123 in 1996 will not
     affect the results of operations of CWM.

NOTE E  -  COLLATERAL FOR CMOs

Collateral for CMOs consists of fixed-rate mortgage loans, secured by first
liens on single-family residential real estate, and mortgage-backed securities.

All principal and interest on the collateral is remitted to a trustee and,
together with any reinvestment income earned thereon, is available for payment
on the CMOs.   Generally, any default of a mortgage loan which is the basis for
a foreclosure action is covered (up to an aggregate benefit limit) under a pool
insurance policy provided by a private mortgage insurer.   Furthermore,  CWM's
mortgage-backed securities pledged to secure CMOs are guaranteed as to the
repayment of principal and interest of the underlying mortgages by the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.  The maximum amount of credit risk related to
CWM's investment in mortgage loans is represented by the outstanding principal
balance of the mortgage loans plus accrued interest.

Collateral for CMOs is summarized as follows:

NOTE G - REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND OTHER CREDIT FACILITIES - CONTINUED

CWM has established a committed and renewable repurchase facility with a leading
investment bank through April 1997 in an aggregate amount up to $500 million for
its mortgage conduit, warehouse lending and consumer construction lending
operations. CWM has also obtained credit approval from the same lender to enter
into additional repurchase agreements associated with the mortgage conduit
operations, under which individual transactions and their terms will be subject
to agreement by the parties based upon market conditions at the time of each
transaction. In October 1994, CWM signed a two-year master repurchase agreement
with the same lender in an aggregate amount of $225 million, to provide
financing for securitized master servicing fees and certain mortgage-related
securities which have been retained or purchased by CWM or Indy Mac. As of
December 31, 1995, CWM had $61.8 million outstanding under this facility.

In May and December 1994, CWM entered into two additional two-year committed and
renewable repurchase facilities, with different investment banks, in an
aggregate amount of $300 million and $500 million, respectively, for the
Company's mortgage conduit and warehouse lending operations and consumer
construction lending.  These lines have maturity dates in May and December,
1996.

As of December 31, 1995, an aggregate amount of $1.8 billion was outstanding
under these whole loan and warehouse lending repurchase facilities. Such
borrowings had average maturities ranging from overnight to 17 months as of
December 31, 1995. Indy Mac may borrow under each of CWM's agreements as a co-
borrower. As of December 31, 1995, Indy Mac had $428.2 million outstanding in
borrowings under repurchase agreements.

The repurchase agreements bear interest at rates indexed to the London Interbank
Offered Rates ("LIBOR").  As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the borrowing rate
on these repurchase agreements was 6.57% and 6.42%, respectively.  None of the
lenders are affiliated with the Company. At December 31, 1995, the Company was
in compliance with all material representations, warranties and covenants under
its repurchase agreements.

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

In 1995, CWM entered into a two-year committed secured revolving credit facility
with eight commercial banks allowing CWM and Indy Mac to borrow an aggregate
maximum amount of $300 million. The credit facility provides for the financing
of the Company's mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage loans held for
investment, master servicing fees receivable, builder and consumer construction
loans and warehouse lines of credit, subject to certain limitations. The
interest rate is based upon a margin over selected indices, including the weekly
average federal funds rate and the LIBOR for U.S. dollar deposits. The weighted
average borrowing rate on borrowings under this facility at December 31, 1995
was 6.42%.

NOTE H - COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS

Collateralized mortgage obligations are secured by a pledge of mortgage loans,
mortgage-backed securities and residual cash flows from such securities. As
required by the indentures relating to the CMOs, the pledged collateral is held
in the custody of trustees. The trustees collectively also held investments in
GICs amounting to $2.9 million and $3.9 million on the CMO Portfolio as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, as additional collateral which is
legally restricted to use in servicing the CMOs. The trustees collect principal
and interest payments on the underlying collateral, reinvests such amounts in
the GICs and makes corresponding principal and interest payments on the CMOs to
the bondholders.

NOTE H - COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS - CONTINUED

In general, each CMO series consists of various classes which are retired in
order of maturity, with the shortest maturity class receiving all principal
payments until it is paid in full.  After the first class is fully retired, the
second class will receive principal until retired, and so forth.  Each series is
also subject to redemption according to specific terms of the respective
indentures.  As a result, the actual maturity of any class of a CMO series may
occur earlier than its stated maturity.

Interest is payable monthly or quarterly, in accordance with the
respective indenture, for all classes other than deferred interest classes.
Interest on deferred interest classes is accrued and added to the principal
balance and will not be paid until all other classes in the series have been
paid in full.  The weighted average coupon on CMOs was 8.10% at December 31,
1995.

CWM's investment in CMO residuals amounted to $20 million and $33 million at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

NOTE I - SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES

In October 1995, the Company completed the private placement of senior unsecured
notes in the aggregate amount of $60.5 million with certain institutional
lenders. The notes bear interest at rates ranging from 8.86% to 8.91%, and
mature October 15, 2002. The notes require principal repayment in three equal
installments of $20.17 million on October 15 in each of 2000, 2001 and 2002. The

NOTE J - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents the estimated fair values of the various classes of
financial instruments held by CWM as of December 31, 1995 and 1994.  The
estimated fair value amounts have been determined by CWM using available market
information and valuation methodologies which the Company believes are
appropriate under the circumstances.  These estimates are subjective in nature
and involve matters of significant uncertainty and judgment to interpret
relevant market and other data. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts CWM could realize in a current market exchange.

The fair value estimates as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are based on pertinent
information available to management as of those dates. The estimates have not
been comprehensively reevaluated or updated since those dates for purposes of
these financial statements and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may
differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The following describes the methods and assumptions used by CWM in estimating
fair values.

Mortgage Loans Held for Investment   Fair value is estimated using either offer
prices by the Company for similar types of loans or quoted market prices from
dealers and brokers for similar types of loans.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale   The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale
is equivalent to the carrying value.  All loans purchased by CWM, for which a
REMIC transaction or whole loan sale is contemplated are committed for sale to
Indy Mac at the same price at which the loans were acquired by CWM.  CWM does
not sell any loans to entities other than Indy Mac.

NOTE J - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - CONTINUED

Collateral for CMOs   Fair value is estimated using either offer prices by the
Company for similar types of loans or quoted market prices from dealers and
brokers for loans and for securities backed by similar types of loans.
Collateral for CMOs cannot be sold until the related obligations mature or are
otherwise paid or redeemed.  As a consequence, the aggregate market values
indicated above may not be realizable.  As a REIT, CWM's ability to sell these
assets for a gain also is subject to restrictions under the Internal Revenue
Code and any such sale may result in substantial additional tax liability.

Construction Loans Receivable, Revolving Warehouse Lines of Credit, and Advances
to Indy Mac Fair values approximate the carrying amounts of each of the
aforementioned assets and liabilities due to their respective short-term nature
or short-term repricing characteristics.

Securitized Master Servicing Fees   Fair value is estimated by discounting
estimated future cash flows from securitized master servicing fees using
discount rates that approximate current discount rates used for similar
investments such as excess servicing and using current expected future
prepayment rates.

Repurchase Agreements and Other Credit Facilities Fair values approximate the
carrying amounts for repurchase agreements and other credit facilities with
remaining maturity of one year or less. Fair value for repurchase agreements
with longer maturities is estimated using discounted for cash flow analysis
based on current market rates.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations   Fair value is estimated using discounted
cash flow analysis based on current interest rates and prepayment expectations.

Senior Unsecured Notes    Fair values are estimated by discounting future cash
flows using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms
and remaining maturity.

Short-term Commitments to Extend Credit   There are no commitment fees
associated with CWM's lines of credit extended under the warehouse lending
program.  Accordingly, these commitments do not have an estimated fair value.

Commitments to Purchase Mortgage Loans  There is no fair value of commitments to
purchase mortgage loans as all loans committed for purchase by CWM are committed
for sale to Indy Mac at CWM's purchase price.

Interest Rate Swaps  Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis
based on current market yields for similar instruments and remaining maturity.

NOTE K  - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business CWM is a party to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk.  These financial instruments include short-term
commitments to extend credit to borrowers under warehouse lines of credit which
involve elements of credit risk.

Additionally, CWM is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties to the various agreements associated with loan purchases.
However, CWM does not anticipate nonperformance by such borrowers or
counterparties. Unless noted otherwise, CWM does not require collateral or other
security to support such commitments.  The following various types of
commitments were outstanding at year-end:

NOTE K - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE
SHEET RISK - CONTINUED

Commitments to Purchase and Sell Loans.  As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, CWM
had entered into commitments to purchase mortgage loans totaling $436.2 million
and $702.3 million, respectively, subject to origination or acquisition of such
loans by various approved mortgage originators.  In addition, as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, CWM had committed to sell $816 million and $1.3 billion,
respectively, of mortgage loans to Indy Mac.  After purchase and sale of the
mortgage loans, CWM's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the mortgagor is limited.

Revolving Warehouse Lines of Credit Commitments  CWM's warehouse lending
program provides secured short-term revolving financing to small- and medium-
size mortgage originators to finance mortgage loans from the closing of the
loans until sold to permanent investors.  At December 31, 1995 and 1994, CWM had
extended lines of credit under this program in the aggregate amount of $342.9
million and $396.8 million, respectively, of which $191.4 million and $69.6
million, respectively was outstanding.

Construction Lending Credit Commitments.  CWM's construction lending program
consists of a Builder Division which provides tract construction, builder custom
home loans, and model home loan financing, and a Consumer Division which
provides construction-to-permanent financing as well as financing for home
improvement and lot loans to individuals.  At December 31, 1995 and 1994 CWM had
undisbursed construction loan commitments totaling $172 million and $13.9
million, respectively.

NOTE L - STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has two stock option plans (the "Plans") that provide for the
granting of both non-qualified and incentive stock options to officers,
employees and directors. Options are granted at the average market price of the
Company's common stock on the date of grant and are exercisable beginning one
year from the date of grant and expire five years from date of grant.

Eleven members of CWM's Board of Directors and officers exercised options
totaling 331,000 shares during 1995. The exercise of these options was financed
through both private sources and a loan program offered by CWM to its Officers
and Directors. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the total principal balances of
notes receivable relating to the 1995 and prior option exercises by directors
and officers were $2.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively; the notes are
secured by the common stock issued, have maturities of up to five years and bear
interest rates required by IRS regulations, which ranged from 4.17% to 7.70% at
December 31, 1995.

NOTE M - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Indy Mac has an open borrowing account with CWM whereby funds are advanced to
Indy Mac primarily to finance assets in which Indy Mac invests.  Such advances
bear interest at rates indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR").
Interest charged on advances by CWM to Indy Mac was at a rate of 9.0% at
December 31, 1995 and 9.3% at December 31, 1994.

CWM has entered into an agreement (the "Management Agreement") with Countrywide
Asset Management Corporation (the "Manager") to advise the Company on various
facets of its business and manage its operations, subject to review and
supervision by CWM's Board of Directors.  The Manager has entered into a
subcontract with its affiliate, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. ("CHL"), to perform
such services for the Company as the Manager deems necessary.

NOTE M - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - CONTINUED

For performing these services, the Manager receives a base management fee of
0.125% per annum of average-invested mortgage-related assets not pledged to
secure CMOs, and excluding mortgage loans held for sale.  The Manager also
receives a separate management fee equal to 0.2% per annum of the average
amounts outstanding under traditional warehouse lines of credit.  In addition,
the Manager receives incentive compensation equal to 25% of the amount by which
CWM's annualized return on equity exceeds the ten-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus
2%.  The Manager waived all management fees for 1993 and 25% of incentive
compensation earned in 1994.  Such waived amounts are reflected as an expense
and a corresponding capital contribution in the accompanying financial
statements. The Manager earned management fees totaling $5.5 million, $1.2
million and $400,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  The Management Agreement is renewable annually and is terminable
upon sixty days prior notice.

The Manager incurs many of the operating expenses of the Company, including
personnel and related expenses, subject to reimbursement by the Company.  The
Company's conduit operations are primarily conducted by Indy Mac and all other
operations are conducted in CWM.

Accordingly, Indy Mac incurrs the majority of the conduit's costs and CWM
incurrs the other operations' costs.

During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the amount of expenses incurred by CHL which were
allocated to the Manager and reimbursed by the Company totaled $1.9 million,
$1.1 million and $192,000, respectively. These costs included data processing,
occupancy and human resource charges of $729,000, $1,018,000, and $100,000,
respectively, for 1995, data processing, occupancy, and human resources charges
of $509,000, $559,000 and $50,000, respectively, for 1994 and data processing
and occupancy charges of $100,000 and $92,000, respectively for 1993. Data
processing charges are allocated on the basis of actual costs relative to the
number of employees serviced. Occupancy charges are allocated on the basis of
square footage occupied by the Company. The majority of these expenses have been
allocated to Indy Mac as they relate primarily to the Company's conduit
operations.

During 1995 and 1994, CWM purchased approximately $74.6 million and $25.7
million, respectively, in nonconforming mortgage loans from CHL.

In 1987 and 1993, CWM entered into servicing agreements appointing CHL as
servicer  of pools of mortgage loans collateralizing five series of CMOs with
outstanding balances of approximately $88.5 million at December 31, 1995.  CHL
is entitled to an annual fee of up to 0.32% of the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of the pledged mortgage loans.  Servicing fees received by CHL under
such agreements were approximately $250,000, $282,000,  and $500,000 in 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.

The Manager and CHL are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Countrywide Credit
Industries, Inc. ("CCI"), a diversified financial services company whose shares
of common stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol: CCR). CCI
owned 1,100,000 shares or 2.6% of CWM's common stock at December 31, 1995. The
Manager owned 20,000 shares of CWM's common stock. CHL owns all of the common
stock and has a 1% economic interest in Indy Mac.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


NOTE A  -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of Independent National Mortgage Corporation (Indy
Mac) are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). In preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The following is a summary of
the more significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the
financial statements.

1.   Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

     Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market,
     which is computed by the aggregate method (unrealized losses are offset by
     unrealized gains).  The cost of mortgage loans is adjusted by gains and
     losses generated from corresponding hedging transactions, principally using
     forward commitments and futures contracts, entered into to protect the
     inventory value of the loans from increases in interest rates. Hedge
     positions are also used to protect the pipeline of commitments to purchase
     loans from CWM from changes in interest rates. Gains and losses resulting
     from changes in the market value of the inventory, pipeline and open hedge
     positions are netted. Any net gain that results is deferred; any net loss
     that results is recognized when incurred. Hedging gains and losses realized
     during the commitment and warehousing period related to the pipeline and
     mortgage loans held for sale are deferred. Hedging losses are recognized
     currently if deferring such losses would result in mortgage loans held for
     sale and the pipeline being valued in excess of their estimated net
     realizable value.

2.   Mortgage Securities

     Mortgage securities consist of mortgage derivative products including
     subordinated securities, principal-only securities and inverse floaters
     securities.  These securities primarily consist of securities retained upon
     the issuance of Indy Mac's REMIC securities.  Securities are classified at
     acquisition as available-for-sale when Indy Mac intends to hold the
     securities for a period of time, but not necessarily to maturity.  A
     decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale is based on a
     variety of factors including movements in interest rates and other changes
     in economic conditions.  Mortgage securities available for sale are carried
     at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from
     earnings and included in a separate component of shareholders' equity net
     of related income tax effects.  Estimated fair value is determined based on
     market quotes when available or discounted cash flow techniques using
     assumptions for prepayment rates and market yield requirements.   Such
     assumptions are estimates and may change in the near term as interest rates
     or economic conditions change.

     Securities are classified as held to maturity when Indy Mac has the
     positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.  Securities
     held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium
     or discount over the estimated life of the security.

3.   Securitized Master Servicing Fees

     Indy Mac retains securitized master servicing fees associated with the
     issuance of mortgage securities. In determining the initial carrying
     amount, Indy Mac considers the effective yield inherent in the fair values
     of similar investments. Interest income on the securitized master servicing
     fees is recognized at an effective yield based upon current estimates of
     prepayment rates. Cash received in excess of the effective yield is applied
     to amortize the asset. Indy Mac evaluates the recoverability of securitized
     master servicing fees by computing the present value of the asset using
     current estimates for prepayment rates and a risk-free rate of return. An
     impairment write-down to fair value is recorded for those securities whose
     amortized cost exceeds the present value at the risk-free rate. The
     securitized master servicing values are sensitive to variations in
     estimates of prepayment rates and changes in the risk-free rate. Indy Mac
     estimates future prepayment rates based upon current interest rate levels,
     economic conditions and market forecasts, as well as relevant
     characteristics of the collateral underlying the assets, such as loan
     types, interest rates and past prepayment experience. The estimates of
     prepayment rates may change in the near term due to changes in interest
     rates and market conditions. Indy Mac intends to hold securitized master
     servicing fees for investment.

     To protect the value of securitized master servicing fees from the effects
     of increased prepayment activity, Indy Mac has acquired financial
     instruments, including derivative contracts, that increase in value when
     interest rates decline. These financial instruments include call options on
     U.S. Treasury bonds and interest rate floors.  The cost of these financial
     instruments is amortized to expense over the contractual life of the
     contracts.  Unamortized costs are included in other assets on the balance
     sheet. Gains are recognized first as an offset to the "Unscheduled
     Amortization" of securitized master servicing fees (i.e., amortization
     due to the impairment caused by increased projected prepayment rates).  To
     the extent the master servicing hedge generates gains in excess of the
     Unscheduled Amortization ("Excess Hedge Gain"), Indy Mac writes down
     securitized master servicing fees through additional amortization in an
     amount equal to the Excess Hedge Gain.

4.   Master Servicing Fees Receivable

     Indy Mac retains the master servicing rights associated with sales of
     mortgage loans and securities.  These master servicing rights entitle Indy
     Mac to a future stream of cash flows based on the outstanding principal
     balance of the mortgage loans and the related contractual master servicing
     fees.  The sales price of the loans and the resulting gain or loss on sale
     are adjusted to provide for the recognition of a normal master servicing
     fee rate over the estimated servicing lives of the loans.  The adjustment
     results in a receivable that is realized through receipt of excess master
     servicing fees over time.  Master servicing fees receivable are amortized
     over the lives of the underlying mortgages using the original discount rate
     and the effective yield method adjusted for the effects of prepayments.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

     In determining the appropriate discount rate to compute the initial
     carrying amount, Indy Mac considers the discount rate inherent in the fair
     values of similar investments such as excess servicing, historical and
     expected prepayment assumptions and required spreads against alternative
     investments.

5.   Purchased Servicing Rights

     Indy Mac from time to time acquires the rights to service, as opposed to
     master service, mortgage loans that it has previously purchased.  Indy Mac
     capitalizes the cost of bulk purchases of servicing rights.  The amount
     capitalized does not exceed the present value of future net servicing
     income.  Purchased servicing rights are amortized over the lives of the
     underlying mortgages in proportion to estimated net servicing revenues.  As
     of December 31, 1995 and 1994, Indy Mac's purchased servicing portfolio
     totaled $439.6 million and $425.0 million, respectively.  Capitalized costs
     associated with acquiring these portfolios totaled $3.6 million and $4.0
     million, respectively, and are included in other assets.  Gains on the sale
     of servicing rights are recognized when title and all risks and rewards
     have irrevocably passed to the buyer (subject to customer representations
     and warranties) and there are no significant unresolved contingencies.

6.   Revenue Recognition

     Interest is recognized as revenue when earned according to the terms of the
     mortgage loans and securities and when, in the opinion of management, it is
     collectible. Premiums paid and discounts obtained on mortgage loans held
     for sale are deferred as an adjustment to the carrying value of the loans
     until the loans are sold.  Gains on sale of mortgage loans and securities
     are recognized upon settlement.

7.   Income Taxes

     For income tax purposes, Indy Mac files a separate tax return and is not
     consolidated with CWM or CHL.  Taxable earnings of Indy Mac are subject to
     state and federal income taxes at the applicable statutory rates.  Deferred
     income taxes in the accompanying financial statements are computed using
     the liability method.

8.   Allowance for Loan Losses

     Indy Mac maintains an allowance for possible credit losses on mortgage
     loans held for sale.  Additions to the reserve are based on an assessment
     of certain factors, including but not limited to estimated future losses on
     the loans, general economic conditions and trends in portfolio volume,
     composition, maturity, and delinquency statistics. Additions to the reserve
     are provided through a charge to earnings.  Actual losses on loans are
     recorded as a charge-off or a reduction to the loan loss reserve.
     Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited back
     to the reserve.

NOTE B - MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE

Substantially all of the mortgage loans purchased by Indy Mac from CWM are
fixed-rate and adjustable-rate nonconforming mortgage loans secured by first
liens on single-family residential properties.  Approximately 39% of the
principal amount of mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 1995 were
collateralized  by properties located in California.

In 1995 and 1994, Indy Mac purchased mortgage loans from CWM with an aggregate
principal balance of $3.6 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively, and sold
mortgage loans in the form of REMIC securities or bulk whole loan sales with an
aggregate principal balance of $3.7 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively.
During 1995 and 1994, Indy Mac recognized gains on these securitizations
totaling $22.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively, net of related expenses,
losses and hedging costs.

NOTE D - MORTGAGE SECURITIES - CONTINUED

During the year ended December 31, 1995, Indy Mac sold mortgage securities
classified as available-for-sale with a net book value of $213.2 million (based
on specific identification) for proceeds of $221.4 million, resulting in gross
realized gains of $8.4 million and gross realized losses of $169,000.

During the first quarter of 1995, Indy Mac transferred its entire portfolio of
mortgage securities classified as held-to-maturity to available-for-sale.  The
unrealized gain as of the date of transfer was $1.2 million.  The decision to
transfer these securities to available-for-sale was based on a reassessment of
the purpose of such investments.  Indy Mac considers the category of available-
for-sale to more properly reflect Indy Mac's intentions with respect to the
mortgage securities.

As of December 31, 1995, all of Indy Mac's mortgage securities were pledged as
collateral under repurchase agreements.

NOTE E - SECURITIZED MASTER SERVICING FEES

The changes in securitized master servicing fees during 1995 are as follows:

NOTE G - REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND OTHER CREDIT FACILITIES

Indy Mac is a co-borrower under the repurchase agreements and other credit
facilities, subject to CWM's continuing to remain jointly and severally liable
for repayment.  The balance outstanding at December 31, 1995 totaled $441
million.  These facilities are secured by mortgage loans which are ultimately
sold in the form of REMIC securities or whole loans, mortgage-related securities
and securitized master servicing.  During 1995, borrowings under such agreements
had original average maturities of less than five days.

The agreements bear interest at rates indexed to the London Interbank Offered
Rates ("LIBOR").  As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the borrowing rates on these
repurchase agreements were 6.2% and 6.3%, respectively.  None of the

These estimates are subjective in nature and involve matters of significant
judgment to interpret relevant market and other data.  The use of different
market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect
on estimated fair value amounts.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein
are not necessarily indicative of the amounts Indy Mac could realize in a
current market exchange.

The fair value estimates as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are based on pertinent
information available to management as of those dates.  Although management is
not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair
value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes
of these financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current
estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented
herein.

The following describes the methods and assumptions used by Indy Mac in
estimating fair values.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale   Fair value is estimated using the methodology
described in Note A.1.

NOTE I - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - CONTINUED

Mortgage Securities   Fair value is estimated using quoted market prices and by
discounting future cash flows using discount rates that approximate current
market rates and market consensus prepayment rates.

Securitized Master Servicing Fees and Master Servicing Fees Receivable  Fair
value is estimated by discounting future cash flows from master servicing fees
using discount rates that approximate current discount rates used for similar
investments such as excess servicing and using expected future prepayment rates.

Repurchase Agreements and Other Borrowings   Fair values approximate the
carrying amounts because of the short-term to maturity of the liabilities.

Commitments to Purchase Mortgage Loans   Fair value is estimated based upon the
difference between the current value of similar loans and the price at which
Indy Mac has committed to purchase the loans.

Commitments to Sell Mortgage Loans   Indy Mac utilizes forward commitments to
sell private-label mortgage-backed securities, FNMA mortgage-backed securities
and two-year U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge interest rate risk
associated with mortgage loans held for sale and commitments to purchase
mortgage loans.  Fair value of these commitments is determined based upon the
difference between the settlement values of the commitments and the quoted
market values of the underlying loans and securities.

Call Options and Interest Rate Floors  The fair values of Indy Mac's call option
contracts and interest rate floors are estimated based upon quoted market prices
at year end.

NOTE J - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk  Indy Mac is a party to
financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of
business through the acquisition and sale of mortgage loans and the management
of interest-rate risk.  These instruments include short-term commitments to
purchase and sell loans and option contracts.  The instruments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. Indy Mac is exposed
to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the
various agreements.  However, Indy Mac does not anticipate nonperformance by the
counterparties.  As discussed below, Indy Mac's exposure to credit risk with
respect to the master servicing portfolio in the event of nonperformance by the
mortgagor is limited due to the non-recourse nature of the loans in the
servicing portfolio.  Indy Mac's exposure to credit risk in the event of default
by the counterparty is the difference between the contract price and the current
market price.  Unless noted otherwise, Indy Mac does not require collateral or
other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Master Loan Servicing   As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, Indy Mac was master
servicing loans totaling $9.4 billion and $6.8 billion, respectively, associated
with its issuance of REMIC securities and whole loan sales.

NOTE J - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES- CONTINUED

In connection with REMIC issuances, each series of mortgage-backed securities is
typically fully payable from the mortgage assets underlying such series and the
recourse of investors is limited to those assets and any credit enhancement
features, such as insurance. Generally, any losses in excess of the credit
enhancement obtained is borne by the security holders. Except in the case of a
breach of the standard representations and warranties made by Indy Mac when
mortgage loans are securitized or sold, the loans or securities are nonrecourse
to Indy Mac. Typically, the Company has recourse to the sellers of such loans
for any breaches of similar representations and warranties made by the sellers
to Indy Mac.

As of December 31, 1995, approximately 56% of mortgage loans in Indy Mac's
master servicing portfolio were secured by properties located in California.
The remainder are geographically dispersed throughout the United States, with no
more than 6% of the mortgage loans collateralized by properties in any other
single jurisdiction.

Commitments to Purchase Loans   As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, Indy Mac had
entered into commitments to purchase mortgage loans from CWM totaling $816
million and $1.3 billion, respectively, including loans subject to purchase from
sellers by CWM.  After purchase and sale of the mortgage loans, Indy Mac's
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the mortgagor is
limited as described above.

Commitments to Sell Loans   As of December 31, 1995, Indy Mac had no open
commitments to sell mortgage loans. As of December 31, 1994, commitments to sell
mortgage loans totaled $157.4 million. These commitments are utilized in
delivering mortgage loans held for sale and are considered in the valuation of
the mortgage loan inventory. In addition, Indy Mac had forward commitments to
sell $601.5 million and $747.0 million of FNMA mortgage-backed securities as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and $70 million and $563.8 million of
two-year U.S. Treasury Futures contracts as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The commitments to sell loans and securities had a net
unrealized loss of approximately $2.9 million as of December 31, 1994, which was
deferred as part of Indy Mac's lower of cost or market analysis on its mortgage
loans held for sale.

NOTE K - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, advances due by Indy Mac to CWM totaled $83.6
million and $16.5 million, respectively.  Such funds were advanced by CWM, under
an open account arrangement, to finance assets  by Indy Mac.  Such advances bear
interest at rates indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR").
Interest charged on advances to Indy Mac from CWM was at a rate of 9.0% and 9.3%
at  December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

NOTE K - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - CONTINUED

CWM has entered into an agreement (the "Management Agreement") with Countrywide
Asset Management Corporation (the "Manager") to advise CWM and Indy Mac on
various facets of their businesses and to manage their operations, subject to
review and supervision by CWM's Board of Directors. The Manager has entered into
a subcontract with its affiliate, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. ("CHL"), to
perform such services for CWM and Indy Mac as the Manager deems necessary. The
Manager and CHL are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Countrywide Credit Industries,
Inc. ("CCI"), a diversified financial services company whose shares of common
stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (Symbol: CCR).

For performing these services, the Manager receives a base management fee of
0.125% per annum of average invested assets not pledged to secure CMOs. In
addition, the Manager receives incentive compensation equal to 25% of the amount
by which  CWM's annualized return on equity exceeds the ten-year U.S. Treasury
Rate plus 2%.  The Manager waived all management fees pursuant to the above for
1993.  During 1994, the Manager waived 25% of its incentive compensation. Base
management fees are allocated between CWM and Indy Mac based upon their
respective average invested assets net of related borrowings and incentive
management fees are allocated between CWM and Indy Mac based upon their
respective contributions to the earnings of the Company.  Management fees
allocated to Indy Mac in 1995 amounted to $1.8 million and $334,000 in 1994.
Management fees allocated to Indy Mac in 1993 were insignificant. The Management
Agreement is renewable annually and is terminable upon sixty days prior notice.

The Manager incurs many of the operating expenses of the Company, including
personnel and related expenses.  The Company's conduit operations are primarily
conducted in Indy Mac and all other operations are conducted in CWM.
Accordingly, Indy Mac is charged with the majority of the conduit's costs and
CWM is charged with the other operations' costs.

During 1993 the Manager absorbed $900,000 of operating expenses incurred in
connection with its duties under the Management Agreement, all of which would
have been charged to Indy Mac.  Indy Mac began paying all expenses related to
its operations in June 1993.

During June 1994 and December 1994, Indy Mac sold approximately $1.8 billion and
$1.2 billion, respectively, of its purchased servicing portfolio to CHL.  No
sales of this type were made to CHL during 1995.  Indy Mac recorded gains on the
sale of these servicing rights of $5.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
Total proceeds from these sales amounted to $24.6 million and $13.6 million,
respectively. Of the $1.8 billion purchased servicing portfolio sold to CHL in
June 1994, $580.4 million was already being subserviced by CHL. Of the $1.2
billion purchased servicing portfolio sold to CHL in December 1994, $178.4
million was already being subserviced by CHL. As of December 31, 1995, CHL was
subservicing $342.1 million in mortgage loans associated with purchased
servicing rights. Indy Mac paid CHL $461,000, $94,000 and $6,000 in subservicing
fees during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

All loans purchased by CWM for which a REMIC transaction or whole loan sale is
contemplated are committed for sale to Indy Mac at the same price at which the
loans were acquired by CWM. Indy Mac currently does not purchase any loans from
any entities other than CWM.
