   Note 5.   Acquisition of Milburn Investments, Inc. and Aspen Homes ( t h e
   "Acquisitions")

        On July 29, 1993, the  Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the
   Common  Stock of  Milburn Investments,  Inc. ("Milburn"),  for approximately
   $26.3  million  ("Milburn Acquisition").    The  consideration consisted  of
   approximately $20 million  in cash and  $6.3 million  in Series A  Preferred
   Stock issued by the Company.   On November 4, 1993 the Company redeemed  the
   Series A Preferred  Stock.  On  January 28, 1994,  the Company acquired  the
   operations  of  Aspen  Homes  ("Aspen")  for  total  cash  consideration  of
   $6,982,000.

        The following unaudited  pro forma combined financial data  give effect
   to the Milburn Acquisition  as if it had occurred  on the first day  of each
   period.   This  pro  forma  information  has  been  prepared  utilizing  the
   historical  consolidated financial  statements of  the Company  and Milburn.

        The volume increase in the quarter  ended February 28, 1994 compared to
   the same period in the prior  year was attributable to the Texas operations.
   Without Texas, the Company's  unit volume was  6.2% less during the  quarter
   than in the same quarter last year.  The volume increase  in the nine months
   ended February 28, 1994 compared to  the nine months ended February 28, 1993
   was  attributable to the Texas  operations, improved housing  markets in the
   Phoenix and Denver areas and increased deliveries in  California as a result
   of  the Company's  aggresive marketing in  that location.   The  increase in
   average sales price was  primarily due to deliveries in  California, most of
   which  were in  the move-up  market.   The quarter  ended February  28, 1994
   results include an  aggregate of 227 deliveries from Milburn  and Aspen with
   an  average sales  price  of $105,400  per  home, resulting  in  incremental
   revenue of $23,917,000.

        The  increase in backlog at February 28, 1994 in Phoenix and Denver was
   due  to the  improved housing markets  in both locations,  which the Company
   believes  resulted  primarily from  improved  economic  conditions in  these
   markets and lower mortgage interest rates.  The aggregate sales value of new
   contracts signed increased 70% in  the three months ended February 28,  1994
   as  a result  of  the Acquisitions  to  $94,623,000 representing  754  homes
   (including  $32,372,000 in Texas  representing 294  homes) as  compared with
   $55,694,000 representing 501 homes  for the three months ended  February 28,
   1993.   Significant  volume increases  in earlier  quarters resulted  in the
   Company  selling  out  of  several   subdivisions  in  Phoenix  faster  than
   anticipated.  This resulted in fewer homes available for sale  in Phoenix in
   the third fiscal quarter of 1994 compared to the same period in fiscal 1993.
   The Company  will have additional new subdivisions opening in Phoenix in the
   fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 and the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

        The  following table  summarizes information  related to  cost  of home
   sales, selling,  general and administrative ("SG&A")  expenses and interest,
   net for homebuilding:

        Gross  profit  from home  sales was  18.3% (20.9%  excluding California
   operations) for the three months  ended February 28, 1994 compared  to 20.0%
   (21.4% excluding  California operations)  for the corresponding  fiscal 1993
   period.  For the three  months ended February 28, 1994, the  gross profit on
   the   Texas  deliveries   was  19.2%   (20.8%  before   purchase  accounting
   adjustments).    Gross profit  from home  sales  was 18.4%  (20.8% excluding
   California  operations) for the nine months ended February 28, 1994 compared
   to 19.4% (20.8% excluding  California operations) for the nine  months ended
   February 28, 1993.  The Southern  California market remains very weak due to
   difficult economic conditions,  concerns about home values and  low consumer
   confidence.    Accordingly,  the   Company  has  aggressively  marketed  its
   California homes by  offering sales incentives and  discounts.  California's
   depressed market  will continue to have  a negative impact  on the Company's
   earnings since volume is not sufficient to offset general and administrative
   expenses and interest which is expensed and not capitalized.

        The increase  in total SG&A expenses  for the  quarter and nine  months
   ended  February  28,  1994  was  due  to  higher  variable  marketing  costs
   (primarily  sales commissions and  model furniture amortization)  due to the
   increase  in the  number  of homes  delivered,  higher salaries  and  higher
   customer service costs.   In addition, the  current fiscal quarter and  nine
   months  included $3,257,000  and $7,529,000,  respectively of  SG&A expenses
   from  Texas   and  $195,000  and  $455,000,  respectively   related  to  the
   amortization of the  excess of cost over related net  assets acquired.  SG&A
   expenses  for each  home delivered  were $13,478  and $12,142  in  the third
   quarter of fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively and $12,872 and $11,960 in the
   first nine  months  of fiscal  1994  and 1993,  respectively.   The  Company
   capitalizes certain SG&A expenses for homebuilding.  Accordingly, total SG&A
   costs  incurred for  homebuilding were  $9,668,000 and  $29,647,000  for the
   three and  nine months  ended February 28,  1994 compared to  $4,878,000 and
   $15,007,000 for the corresponding fiscal 1993 periods.

        The  Company capitalizes  certain interest  costs for  its homebuilding
   operations and includes such capitalized interest in cost of home sales when
   the  related units are delivered.   Accordingly, total  interest incurred by
   the Company  was $2,960,000  and $9,458,000  for the  three and nine  months
   ended February 28,  1994 respectively compared to $3,021,000  and $8,888,000
   for  the  three  and nine  months  ended  February  28, 1993,  respectively.
   Interest, net for  homebuilding was  $748,000 and $1,505,000  for the  three
   months ended February 28, 1994  and 1993, respectively.  For the  nine month
   period  ended  February  28,  1994,  interest,  net  for  homebuilding   was
   $3,267,000 compared with $4,290,000  for the nine months ended  February 28,
   1993.

        The   Company's    pre-tax   profit    from   homebuilding   (excluding
   unconsolidated joint ventures) for  the nine months ended February  28, 1994
   was $14,491,000 compared  to $8,283,000 for  the corresponding period  ended
   February 28,  1993.   The increase  in pre-tax profit  was due  primarily to
   greater deliveries  in  Phoenix and    Milburn's results  which  contributed
   $3,529,000 of pre-tax profit.

   Mortgage Banking

        The  Company's mortgage  banking operations  are conducted  through its
   wholly-owned  subsidiaries American  Western  Mortgage  Company ("AWMC")  in
   Arizona and Miltex  Management, Inc. ("MMI") in Texas.   The following table
   summarizes  operating   information  for  the  Company's   mortgage  banking
   operations:

        Revenues from mortgage banking operations  increased in the quarter and
   nine months ended February 28, 1994  primarily due to the Acquisitions.  The
   amounts  for  the  quarter   ended  February  28,  1994  include   378  loan
   originations and $813,000 and $173,000 of
   revenues  and operating income, respectively, from MMI.  The Company retains
   a  portion of the  loan servicing and,  at February 28,  1994, the servicing
   portfolio was approximately $59,037,000.

     Consolidated Operations

        Net  income was $9,191,000  ($1.55 per share, $1.38  fully diluted) for
   the nine months  ended February 28,  1994 compared to  $5,061,000 ($.99  per
   share, $.94 fully diluted) for the period ended February 28, 1993.  The nine
   months ended February  28, 1994 included $2,998,000  of net income  from the
   results of Texas.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources
   -------------------------------

        The Company's financing needs depend primarily upon sales volume, asset
   turnover,  land  acquisition  and  inventory  balances.    The  Company  has
   financed,  and expects  to continue  to finance,  its working  capital needs
   through funds generated by operations and borrowings.  Funds for future land
   acquisitions and construction costs are expected to be provided primarily by
   cash flows from  operations and future borrowings as permitted under the 12%
   Senior Note  Indenture.   At February  28, 1994,  the Company  had unsecured
   lines  of  credit  from  two lenders  for  aggregate  borrowings  (excluding
   mortgage  warehouse lines)  of  up to  $15,000,000.   At February  28, 1994,
   $6,000,000 was outstanding under these credit lines.  In connection with the
   Milburn  Acquisition, the  Company assumed  a $25,000,000  secured revolving
   line of credit.  At February 28, 1994, $5,000,000 was outstanding under this
   credit line.  The Company's revolving lines of credit bear interest at rates
   ranging from prime  plus 1/2% to prime plus  1%.  The Company  believes that
   amounts  generated  from  operations  and such  additional  borrowings  will
   provide funds adequate to  finance its homebuilding activities and  meet its
   debt  service requirements.    The Company  does  not have  any  significant
   current commitments for capital expenditures.

        AWMC has a warehouse line of credit for $15,000,000 which is guaranteed
   by  the  Company.   In addition,  MMI  has a  warehouse  line of  credit for
   $10,000,000.   Pursuant to the warehouse lines of credit, the Company issues
   drafts to fund  its mortgage loans.   The amount represented  by a draft  is
   drawn on  the warehouse  line  of credit  when the  draft  is presented  for
   payment.   At  February 28,  1994,  no amounts  were outstanding  under  the
   warehouse lines of credit and the amount of funding drafts that had not been
   presented for payment was $4,530,000.  The Company believes that these lines
   are sufficient for its mortgage banking operations.

        On  August 5,  1992,  the  Company completed  the sale  of  $75,000,000
   principal amount of its  12% Senior Notes due  1999.  The Senior  Notes were
   issued at 98.85% of par and are not redeemable until 1997.  The Company used
   a portion of the net proceeds thereof to repay all amounts outstanding under
   its lines of credit.  On September  4, 1992 the Company used $16,817,000  of
   these proceeds to redeem its 12-3/4% Senior Notes.

        On July 29,  1993 the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding capital
   stock of  Milburn for approximately  $26.3 million ($20 million  in cash and
   $6.3 million of Series A Preferred Stock).  On January 28, 1994, the Company
   acquired  the  operations of  Aspen Homes  for  total cash  consideration of
   $6,982,000.

        In  November, the  Company  completed  a public  offering  of 1,704,400
   shares  of  Common Stock  at $21.50  per  share.   The  net proceeds  of the
   offering (approximately  $34,219,000)  were  used  to redeem  the  Series  A
   Preferred  Stock and to reduce temporarily all amounts outstanding under the
   Company's  revolving lines of credit and mortgage banking warehouse lines of
   credit.

        On March 22, 1994, the Company obtained  the consent of the holders  of
   the majority  of the outstanding 12%  Senior Notes to  certain amendments to
   the Indenture, including to  permit the sale of an additional $35,000,000 of
   Senior  Notes.   In connection therewith,  the Company  has agreed  to pay a
   total of  $1,102,020 to the holders  of the outstanding Notes.   The Company
   agreed to sell the additional Senior Notes at 107% of par and the closing is
   scheduled for March 31, 1994.

                       MODIFICATION AND EXTENSION AGREEMENT


   DATE:                      January 31, 1994

                              association,   formerly   known  as   The  Valley
                              National Bank of Arizona.

   (The  Note, the  Loan  Agreement, the  Security  Documents, any  arbitration
   resolution, any environmental certification and indemnity agreement, and all
   other  agreements,  documents,  and  instruments  evidencing,  securing,  or
   otherwise  relating to  the  Loan, as  modified  in the  Modifications,  are
   sometimes referred to individually and collectively as the "Loan Documents".
   Hereinafter, "Note", "Loan Agreement",  "and "Security Documents" shall mean
   such  documents as  modified in  the Modifications.   All  other capitalized
   terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to
   such terms in the Loan Agreement.)

        D.  Borrower  has  requested that  Bank modify  the  Loan and  the Loan
   Documents as provided herein.  Bank is willing to so modify the Loan and the
   Loan Documents, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

   AGREEMENT:

   For  good and valuable consideration,  the receipt and  sufficiency of which
   are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Bank agree as follows:

   1.   ACCURACY OF RECITALS.

   Borrower acknowledges the accuracy of the Recitals.

   2.   MODIFICATION OF LOAN DOCUMENTS.

       2.1  The Loan Documents are modified as follows:

            2.1.1      The definition of "Uncommitted Mortgage Loan" in Section
   1 of the Loan  Agreement is hereby  modified in its  entirety to provide  as
   follows:

        "Uncommitted Mortgage Loan" means any Eligible Mortgage Loan which
        is  not subject to a  Purchase Commitment.   The term "Uncommitted
        Mortgage Loan" also shall include any Eligible  Mortgage Loan with
        respect  to which a Purchase Commitment has been cancelled, or has
        otherwise expired or terminated for any reason.

            2.1.2      The maturity date of  the Loan and the Note  is extended
   from February 1,  1994, to December 1, 1994.  On  the maturity date Borrower
   shall pay to Bank the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all
   other  amounts  payable by  Borrower under  the  Loan Documents  as modified
   herein.   All commitments of Bank to make loans and advances pursuant to the
   Loan Documents shall expire on the maturity date as so extended.

            2.1.3      In addition to all  other fees, payable pursuant to  the
   Loan Documents  and this Agreement, Borrower  agrees to pay a  fee of $20.00
   for  each  Pledged Mortgage  to  cover  the  costs  of Bank's  handling  and
   monitoring of  each Pledged Mortgage.   All such  fees shall be  earned each
   month as each Advance is made and shall  be payable on the first day of  the
   following month.

            2.1.4      In  addition to all  other fees payable  pursuant to the
   Loan  Documents and  this  Agreement,  Borrower  agrees  to  pay  an  Unused
   Commitment Fee of one-quarter of one percent (1/4%) per  annum calculated on
   a monthly  basis and payable  monthly in  arrears on the  first day  of each
   month, commencing with the first day of January, 1993, and  on expiration or
   termination of the  Commitment.   For each month  (or portion thereof),  the
   Unused Commitment  Fee shall be  equal to  (A) $15,000,000.00 minus  (B) the
   "Average  Monthly  Outstandings" for  the  month (or  portion  thereof) with
   respect to  which the  Unused  Commitment Fee  is being  computed, with  the
   resulting  number  multiplied  by   (C) one-twelfth  of  the  annual  Unused
   Commitment Fee rate.   As used herein, "Average Monthly  Outstandings" means
   the sum of  the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on each day during
   the month (or portion  thereof) with respect to which the  Unused Commitment
   Fee is  being computed  divided by  the  number of  days in  that month  (or
   portion thereof).   If the Unused Commitment Fee is  being computed for less
   than a full month, the percentage used in clause (C) above shall be computed
   on a daily basis for the number of days for which the fee is being computed.

            2.1.5      Section 2.1(b) of the  Loan Agreement is hereby modified
   in its entirety to provide as follows:

                 (b)    Subject  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of  this
        Agreement and provided no Default has  occurred and is continuing,
        Lender  agrees, from  time  to time  during  the period  from  the
        Effective  Date to  and including  December  1, 1994  (unless such
        period is earlier terminated pursuant hereto), to make Advances to
        Borrower,   provided   the   total  aggregate   principal   amount
        outstanding at any one  time of all such Advances shall not exceed
        Fifteen  Million  Dollars  ($15,000,000.00)   (the  "Commitment").
        Notwithstanding the  foregoing, the  amount of the  Commitment and
        individual  Advances  thereunder  is  subject  to  Section  2.1(d)
        hereof.   Within the Commitment,  Borrower may  borrow, repay  and
        reborrow.

            2.1.6      Section 2.1(d) of the Loan Agreement  is hereby modified
   in its entirety to provide as follows:

                 (d)  No Advance  shall exceed  the following  amount (the
        "Collateral Value")  applicable to the  type of Collateral  at the
        time it is pledged:

                      (1)   An Advance  made against a  Committed Mortgage
        Loan pledged hereunder shall be in an amount equal to ninety-eight
        percent (98%) of the committed purchase price thereof set forth in
        the applicable Purchase Commitment.

                      (2)  An Advance made against an Uncommitted Mortgage
        Loan pledged hereunder shall  be in an amount equal  to ninety-six
        percent (96%) of the Current Market Value of the Eligible Mortgage
        Loan.

            2.1.7      Section 2.2(e) of the  Loan Agreement is hereby modified
   in its entirety to provide as follows:

                 (e)  At  Lender's  option, Advances  may  be made  (i) by
        deposit to Borrower's zero  balance account maintained by Borrower
        at Lender (which deposit  will be applied to  pay drafts drawn  by
        title companies or  other persons  conducting the  closing of  the
        related  Eligible Mortgage  Loan),  (ii) by wire  transfer to  the
        applicable  title  companies  or  (iii) by  payment  directly   to
        Borrower (provided that  Lender will not make Advances directly to
        Borrower in any case where Lender has permitted Borrower to retain
        possession  of the  Mortgage  Note in  question).   As  a  further
        condition   to  Advances,   Borrower  shall   present   to  Lender
        appropriate  wiring instructions  or such  drafts, as  required by
        Lender.

            2.1.8      A  new  Section  2.2(f)  is  hereby  added  to the  Loan
   Agreement to provide as follows:

                 (f)  From  time   to  time  in  the   sole  and  absolute
        discretion  of Lender, Borrower  may be permitted  to cause drafts
        drawn on  Borrower's zero balance account maintained  at Lender to
        be  presented to Lender for payment in connection with the funding
        of Eligible Mortgage Loans,  notwithstanding that Borrower has not
        made  an  Advance Request  or  submitted  Collateral Documents  in
        connection  with  such Mortgage  Loan.   Lender  may pay  any such
        drafts  without any further consent  of or notice  to Borrower and
        shall  be entitled  to  assume that  each  draft is  proper,  duly
        authorized,  and validly presented.  Any payment by Lender of such
        draft shall be deemed  to be an Advance, notwithstanding  that the
        conditions  precedent to  Advances have not  been satisfied.   Any
        such Advance  for which an Advance Request or Collateral Documents
        have not  been submitted shall be due and payable in full prior to
        1:00 p.m., Phoenix, Arizona  time on the first Business  Day after
        the   date   the   related   draft  was   presented   to   Lender.
        Notwithstanding any other  provision of the Loan Documents  to the
        contrary,  Borrower  hereby   irrevocably  authorizes  Lender   to
        withdraw from and set off  against any deposit accounts maintained
        by  Borrower or  Guarantor  with Lender  the  amount of  any  such
        Advances as due and payable; provided, however, that such right of
        set-off shall not  apply to  any deposits of  escrow monies  being
        held on behalf of  mortgagors under Mortgage Loans or  other third
        parties  or  accounts  containing  only  principal  and   interest
        payments  by borrowers under Mortgage Loans that are maintained in
        connection with Borrower's servicing of Mortgage Loans.  If at any
        time, Lender elects, in  its sole and absolute discretion,  not to
        permit further Advances pursuant  to this Section 2.2(f), Borrower
        shall immediately cease allowing  title companies or other persons
        to submit such drafts except in connection with Advances for which
        all the conditions precedent set forth herein have been satisfied.

            2.1.9      Section 2.4(a)  of the Loan Agreement is hereby modified
   in its entirety to provide as follows:

                      (a)  The  unpaid amount of  each Advance  shall bear
        interest from  the date of such  Advance until paid in  full, at a
        floating rate  of interest (the "Floating Rate")  (computed on the
        basis of a  360-day year and applied to the  actual number of days
        elapsed in each interest calculation period) which is equal to the
        Prime Rate  plus one half of  one (1/2) percent.   As used herein,
        the  term "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate of interest established
        and publicly announced from time to time by Bank One, Arizona, NA,
        as its "Prime Rate" or "Reference  Rate", whether or not such rate
        actually is the  lowest rate available to  commercial borrowers or
        other customers of such bank.  The Floating Rate  will be adjusted
        as of the effective date of each change in the Prime Rate.

            2.1.10   Section 4(a) of the Promissory  Note is hereby modified in
   its entirety to provide as follows:

            (a)  Absent  an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the
                 Credit Agreement Documents,  each Advance made  hereunder
                 shall bear interest  at the Interest Rate  in effect from
                 time  to time,  which rate  is equal  to one-half  of one
                 percent  (1/2 of 1%) per  annum above the  Prime Rate, as
                 such  term is  defined  on  Section  2.4  of  the  Credit
                 Agreement.   Throughout the  term of this  Note, interest
                 shall be calculated on a 360-day year with respect to the
                 unpaid balance of any Advance and, in all cases, shall be
                 computed  for the actual number of days in the period for
                 which interest is charged.

            2.1.11   Section 2.4(e)(2) of the Loan Agreement is hereby modified
   in its entirety to provide as follows:

                 (2)  The Interest  Credit shall be an  amount, determined
        on  a quarterly basis, equal to (i)  the amount of (A) the average
        daily amount of free collected compensating balances maintained by
        Borrower  with Lender  in  noninterest-bearing  accounts  for  the
        period  in  question, reduced  by (B)  the  amount required  to be
        maintained or deposited in reserve pursuant to Regulation D of the
        Federal  Reserve  Board,  or   otherwise,  with  respect  to  such
        compensating  balances  during  the  period in  question  and  (C)
        further  reduced  by the  portion  of  such compensating  balances
        required to  be maintained  and/or pledged  pursuant to  any other
        loan or agreement between Borrower and  Lender, multiplied by (ii)
        the average 90-day treasury bill auction rate (based on quotations
        thereof in  the Lender's Investment Department)  during the period
        in question reduced by forty (40) basis points, and (iii) with the
        product  of (i) and (ii)  further reduced by  all FDIC assessments
        and premiums  incurred  by Lender  and all  other service  charges
        imposed  by Lender  with  respect to  such compensating  balances;
        provided, however,  that the amount  of the Interest  Credit shall
        not be  greater than one half  of one percent (1/2%)  per annum on
        the Loan amount  outstanding during  the period in  question.   An
        example of the computation of the Interest Credit is set forth  in
        Exhibit D hereto.

            2.1.12   Section 2.4(e)(4) of the Loan Agreement is hereby modified
   in its entirety to provide as follows:

                 (4)  Lender and  Borrower acknowledge that  the intent of
        this  Section  2.4(e) is  (i) that all  Advances pursuant  to this
        Agreement  yield to Lender a  minimum interest rate  of Prime Rate
        plus one half  of one percent  (1/2%) per  annum but against  this
        yield  Borrower will be credited an  amount equal to the net value
        to  Lender of  Borrower's accounts  with Lender  as determined  by
        Lender,  not  to  exceed  the  limitations  set forth  in  Section
        2.4(e)(2) above and (ii) that after giving effect to the  Interest
        Credit,  interest on  all Advances  shall never  be less  than the
        Prime Rate.

            2.1.13   A new section  2.4(e)(5) of the  Loan Agreement is  hereby
   added to the Loan Agreement to provide as follows:

                 (5)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  provisions of  this
        Section  2.4, no Interest Credit shall be earned during any period
        in which no  Advances are outstanding  under this Loan  Agreement.
        In addition, Borrower shall not be entitled to any Interest Credit
        with  respect to  interest on  Advances made  pursuant to  Section
        2.2(f) of this Loan Agreement.

            2.1.14   Sections 2.5(a), 2.6(a)  and 2.6(b) of  the Loan Agreement
   are  modified  by deleting  "December 1, 1993"  and  inserting in  its place
   "December 1, 1994" in each place said date appears therein.

            2.1.15  Section 2.5(c) of the Loan  Agreement is hereby modified in
   its entirety to provide as follows:

                 (c)  In addition,  Borrower shall be obligated  to pay to
        Lender,  without the  necessity  of prior  demand  or notice  from
        Lender, the amount  of any outstanding Advance against  a specific
        Eligible  Mortgage  Loan,  upon  the  occurrence  of  any  of  the
        following events:

                      (1)  One Hundred  and Eighty (180) days  have lapsed
        from the date  of the Advance made by Lender  with respect to such
        Eligible Mortgage Loan;

                      (2)  Twenty  (20)  days have  elapsed from  the date
        such Eligible  Mortgage  Loan was  delivered  to an  Investor  for
        examination and purchase, without the purchase being made, or upon
        rejection of such  Eligible Mortgage Loan as  unsatisfactory by an
        Investor;

                      (3)  The Collateral Documents,  upon examination  by
        Lender, are found not to be in compliance with the requirements of
        this Agreement;

                      (4)  If any  of the  items required to  be delivered
        pursuant to Exhibit A  after an Advance  are not delivered as  and
        when  required or  if delivered  are not  in compliance  with this
        Agreement;

                      (5)  Ten (10)  Business Days  have elapsed from  the
        date  a   Collateral  Document  was  delivered   to  Borrower  for
        correction or completion, without being returned to Lender;

                      (6)  Such  Eligible Mortgage  Loan is  defaulted and
        remains in default for a period of sixty (60) days;

                      (7)  If  any of  the representations  and warranties
        set forth in  Section 5.12  with respect to  an Eligible  Mortgage
        Loan are untrue or incorrect in any material respect; and

                      (8)  Upon the sale of such Eligible Mortgage Loan.

        Upon making such payment to Lender, so long as no Event of Default
        has occurred and is  continuing, Borrower shall be deemed  to have
        redeemed  such  Eligible  Mortgage   Loan  from  pledge,  and  the
        Collateral Documents relating thereto  shall be released by Lender
        to Borrower or to a designated Investor.

            2.1.16  Section 3.2 of the Loan Agreement is hereby modified in its
   entirety to provide as follows:

                 3.2  Valuation of Collateral.

                      The Collateral shall be valued as set forth below at
                 least weekly and more  often at Lender's sole discretion.
                 All  valuations  of individual  Mortgage  Loans  shall be
                 based on  yields which are  net of all  servicing charges
                 whether  or not  specified below.   For  purposes hereof,
                 "Current  Market Value" shall mean:   (a) with respect to
                 any Eligible Mortgage Loan that is not an FHA loan  or VA
                 loan,  the current  price for  30-day delivery  quoted by
                 FNMA and reported to Lender on "Telerate Systems Reports"
                 or other source acceptable to Lender, and (b) in the case
                 of Eligible  Mortgage Loans  that  are FHA  Loans and  VA
                 Loans,  the  price  most  recently  quoted  by  GNMA  for
                 immediate  purchase and  reported  to  Bank on  "Telerate
                 Systems Reports" or other source acceptable to Bank.

            2.1.17  Section  3.3 "Margin Call" of the Loan  Agreement is hereby
   modified in its entirety to provide as follows:

                 3.3  Margin  Call.   The parties  intend that  the amount
            advanced and outstanding under  this Agreement with respect to
            an Uncommitted  Mortgage Loan, shall at no time exceed ninety-
            six percent (96%)  of its then Current  Market Value.  If,  at
            any time, the amount  advanced with respect to  an Uncommitted
            Mortgage Loan, is greater than ninety-six percent (96%) of its
            then Current  Market Value,  as determined in  accordance with
            Section 3.2 hereof,  then Borrower shall  be required to  make
            the payments set forth in this Section 3.3 ("Margin Call").  A
            Margin  Call shall require Borrower to pay to Lender an amount
            equal to  the difference  between ninety-six percent  (96%) of
            the  then Current  Market Value  and the amount  advanced with
            respect to such  Uncommitted Mortgage Loan.   Payment for each
            Margin Call due to  Lender pursuant to this Section  3.3 shall
            be made by Borrower in immediately available funds  within one
            (1)  Business  Day following  the  occurrence  of such  event,
            provided, however, if the  outstanding aggregate amount of all
            Margin Calls is equal  to or less than $25,000,  then Borrower
            shall not be obligated  to make payment for such  Margin Calls
            unless and until the  aggregate amount of all Margin  Calls is
            greater  than  $25,000,  at   which  time  Borrower  shall  be
            obligated  to  immediately  pay   the  entire  amount  of  all
            outstanding Margin Calls.  Such amounts paid by Borrower shall
            reduce,  by a  corresponding  amount,  the amount  outstanding
            under the Note.

            2.1.18    Section 3.4 of  the Loan  Agreement is hereby  amended in
   its entirety to provide as follows:

                 3.4  Margin  Credit.    If  it  is  determined  from  any
            valuation that ninety-six percent  (96%) of the Current Market
            Value  of  any Uncommitted  Mortgage  Loan,  as determined  in
            accordance with Section 3.2 hereof,  exceeds the amount of the
            Advance against such Uncommitted Mortgage Loan, such amount in
            excess of  the Collateral  Value (the "Margin  Credit") shall,
            upon the written request of Borrower submitted pursuant to the
            terms of this Agreement for an Advance, be payable to Borrower
            as  an additional  Advance against  such Uncommitted  Mortgage
            Loan,  but  only (i) if  all  obligations  to be  observed  or
            performed by  Borrower under this Agreement  are complied with
            and (ii) there is no Margin Call then outstanding and no other
            required  principal payments then due pursuant to the terms of
            this Agreement.

            2.1.19  The second sentence of Section 3.5 of the Loan Agreement is
   hereby amended in its entirety to provide as follows:

                 In connection with such a redemption, the Lender will, at
            Borrower's  request either (i)  transmit or  otherwise deliver
            the  Pledged Mortgages  to responsible  third parties  for the
            purpose  of sale  or (ii)  release  such Pledged  Mortgages to
            Borrower  for  the prompt  transmission  by  Borrower of  such
            Pledged  Mortgages to responsible third parties (as determined
            by Lender) for the purpose of sale.

            2.1.20  "Exhibit  A" to  this Agreement is  hereby substituted  for
   Exhibit "A" to the Loan Agreement.

            2.1.21  "Exhibit  D" to  this Agreement is  hereby substituted  for
   Exhibit "D" to the Loan Agreement.

            2.1.22  In  addition to the other provisions of  Section 6.3 of the
   Loan  Agreement, (i) within  thirty (30) days  after the end  of each month,
   Borrower  shall  deliver to  Bank  a  report in  form  satisfactory to  Bank
   itemizing  the Mortgage  Loans  of Borrower  closed in  such  month and  the
   Mortgage Loans of Borrower being processed for closing as of the end of such
   month  and containing  such  other information  as  Bank may  request,  (ii)
   promptly  upon the  availability  thereof, Borrower  shall  deliver to  Bank
   copies  of all reports, filings, disclosures, responses, and other materials
   filed  with  or submitted  to any  regulatory  authority (federal,  state or
   local) having  regulatory jurisdiction  over Borrower's business  of making,
   selling,  servicing or otherwise dealing in Mortgage Loans, and (iii) within
   thirty (30)  days after the receipt thereof,  Borrower shall deliver to Bank
   copies  of all notices, reports,  orders, claims and  other information from
   any such regulatory  authority to the extent  relating to or  affecting such
   business of Borrower.

        2.2 Notwithstanding any other  provisions of the Loan Documents  and in
   addition to the requirements thereof, Borrower agrees that (i) the number of
   Pledged  Mortgages that  represent Mortgage  Loans secured  by condominiums,
   townhouses, zero lot line  residences, or other forms of  "attached" housing
   shall never  be more than  ten percent  (10%) of the  number of all  Pledged
   Mortgages and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of Uncommitted Mortgage
   Loans  shall  never be  more  than fifteen  percent (15%)  of  the aggregate
   outstanding principal balance of all Eligible Mortgage Loans.   If either of
   the  requirements of the immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied at
   any time, then (A) Borrower shall not be entitled to any Advances unless and
   until such  requirements are again  satisfied and (B) Borrower  shall within
   one (1)  business  day after  demand  by Lender  prepay  the amount  of  any
   outstanding Advances against Eligible Mortgage Loans until such requirements
   are satisfied.

        2.3 In addition  to all of the  other terms and conditions  of the Loan
   Documents,  Borrower agrees that Borrower shall not cause or permit, whether
   voluntarily or  involuntarily, any lien, encumbrance,  security interest, or
   other  assignment to  exist  with respect  to, or  otherwise affect,  any of
   Borrower's  Servicing Rights.  As used herein, "Servicing Rights" shall mean
   the  rights  of  Borrower  to  service  Mortgage Loans  (including,  without
   limitation, the right to collect payments of principal and interest, receive
   late  charges and  other payments,  maintain tax  and insurance  impound and
   escrow  accounts, and to otherwise administer, monitor, and act with respect
   to  Mortgage Loans),  whether  or  not  such Mortgage  Loans  are  owned  by
   Borrower,  together with all fees,  payments, and other  amounts received or
   receivable with respect to such loan servicing and all proceeds of such loan
   servicing.

        2.4 Each of  the Loan Documents is modified to provide that it shall be
   a default or an event of default thereunder if Borrower shall fail to comply
   with any  of the covenants  of Borrower herein  or if any  representation or
   warranty by Borrower herein or  by any guarantor in any related  Consent and
   Agreement of Guarantor(s) is materially incomplete, incorrect, or misleading
   as of the date hereof or if any "default" or "event of default"  shall occur
   under any other Loan Document.

        2.5 Each reference in the Loan Documents  to any of the Loan  Documents
   shall be a reference to such document as modified herein.

   3.   RATIFICATION OF LOAN DOCUMENTS AND COLLATERAL.
        ---------------------------------------------

   The Loan Documents are ratified and affirmed by Borrower and shall remain in
   full  force and effect  as modified herein.   Any  property or rights  to or
   interests in property granted as security in the Loan Documents shall remain

   Documents.

                                     EXAMPLES

   Example of Interest Credit Computation

        A.  Assumptions:

            1.   Period:  1/1/90 - 4/1/90
            2.   Average daily free collected balances for period:  $2,000,000
            3.   Reserve requirements:  $250,000
            4.   Average 90-day T-bill rate for period:  8%
            5.   FDIC Premiums:  $200
            6.   Other Fees/Charges:  $1,000
            7.   Balance of Loan for period:  $10,000,000

        B.  Computation:

                 1.   Average daily collected
                      balances:                         $2,000,000
                 2.   (Less:  Reserve):                   (250,000)
                                                        ----------
                 3.   Net balances:                     $1,750,000
                 4.   Earnings @ 7.6% per
                      annum (8% - .4%) for
                      the calendar quarter
                      in question:                         $33,250
                 5.   (Less:  FDIC Premiums
                       and other charges):                  (1,200)
                                                        ----------
                                                        $   31,050

            $10,000,000 @ 1/2 of 1% per annum for
            the calendar quarter in question =          $   12,500

            Since Interest Credit cannot be
            greater than 1/2 of 1% per annum on
            the outstanding Loan for the period
            in question, the Interest Credit
            for the calendar quarter
            in question is:                             $   12,500
