accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. They do
not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as
disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed
in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2000
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited financial statements should be
read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB.
In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made.
Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily

2001.

Description of Business

The predecessor company to StarNet Financial, Inc. was incorporated in February
1999 as LoanNet, Inc. ("LoanNet") to engage in mortgage lending activities. In
May 1999, LoanNet was acquired by Sarkis Capital, Inc. ("Sarkis"), a public
shell company. This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition
for which LoanNet was the acquirer for accounting purposes. The name of the
resulting entity was changed to StarNet Financial, Inc.

The accompanying financial statements present the financial position of StarNet
Financial, Inc. ("the Company"), its divisions (StarNet Retail, and Occidental)
and its wholly owned subsidiaries (StarNet Mortgage, Inc., StarNet Trakker,
Inc., and Residential Lenders, Inc.). The results of operations and cash flows
include The GM Group, Inc. ("GM"). GM was acquired in April 1999 for cash and a
note payable in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. GM's stock was sold
as of December 31, 1999 in exchange for a note receivable; however certain of
its operations, personnel and relationships were retained. The Company
incorporated StarNet Mortgage, Inc. in June 1999. Residential Lenders, Inc. was
acquired in October 1999 for cash, a note payable, and common stock of the
Company in a transaction accounted for as a purchase.

The Company operates as a wholesale and retail mortgage banking organization
primarily through traditional origination channels and through Internet-based
channels. The Company is licensed to originate, underwrite, fund, purchase
closed loans or sell loans, or exempt from licensing requirements, in 33 states.
The Company sells its loans primarily to numerous investors.

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

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which can be
identified by the use of words such as "intend," "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "project," or "expect" or other similar statements. These statements
discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of
financial condition or state other "forward-looking" information. We do not
undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even
if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. We
believe that our forward-looking statements are within the safe harbor provided
by the Exchange Act.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, the
notes to our financial statements and the other financial information contained
elsewhere in this document. In addition to the historical information, this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and other parts of this document contain forward-looking information
as described above that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking
information as a result of certain factors.

GENERAL

As a mortgage lender, we generate revenues through the origination and
subsequent sale of funded loans. These revenues are made up of loan processing
fees, net gain on sale, and net interest income. Loan processing fees include
application, documentation, commitment, and processing fees paid by borrowers.
Net gain on sale consists of the difference in price paid by the borrower and
the price paid by the permanent investor, which includes the value of the rights
to service loans. Net interest income consists of the difference between
interest received by us for the time we hold a loan and interest paid by us
under our credit facilities.

Our expenses largely consist of:

     -    salaries and benefits paid to employees;

     -    occupancy and equipment costs;

     -    loan processing expenses such as appraisals and credit reports;

     -    Internet and other technology-related expenses, including licensing
          and participation fees and advertising costs; and

     -    data processing and communication costs.

A substantial portion of these expenses is variable in nature. Commissions paid
to loan originators are 100% variable, while other salaries and benefits
fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on our assessment of the appropriate
levels of non-loan originator staffing, which correlates to the current level of
loan origination volume and our estimates of future loan origination volume.

Seasonality affects the mortgage industry as loan originations are typically at
their lowest levels during the first and fourth quarters of the calendar year
due to a reduced level of home buying activity during the winter months. Loan
originations generally increase during the warmer months beginning in March and
continuing through October. As a result, we expect higher earnings in our first
and second quarters and lower earnings in the third and fourth quarters of our
fiscal year.



                                       5
<PAGE>   8
Interest rate and economic cycles also affect the mortgage industry, as loan
originations typically fall in rising interest rate environments. During these
periods, refinancing originations decrease, as higher interest rates provide
reduced economic incentives for borrowers to refinance their existing mortgages.
Due to stable and decreasing interest rate environments over recent years, our
current performance may not be indicative of results in rising interest rate
environments.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, we accepted applications for new
loans as follows:

</TABLE>

Only a percentage of loan applications will ultimately close. A higher
percentage of conforming loan applications, such as those originated by StarNet
- Dallas and StarNet-Southwestern, will close compared to the non-conforming
loans originated by StarNet - Houston and StarNet-Western. On the other hand,
non-conforming loan volume is less susceptible to the seasonal and interest rate
cycles described above.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, we closed and funded loans as
follows:

Our loan "pipeline," which is the volume of loans applications accepted and in
the process of completing underwriting documentation and/or awaiting closing,
was approximately $150,207,500 at June 30, 2000. The pipeline consists of
approximately $90,000,000 of non-conforming "A" quality loans, $30,000,000 in
subprime "B/C" quality loans, $10,000,000 in government-insured loans, and the
balance in various conforming products. The source of the pipeline is broken
down as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Quarter ended June 30, 1999

Total revenues increased 529% to $2,101,000 in 2000 from $397,000 in 1999. This
increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Residential Lenders,
Occidental Mortgage and Wall Street Mortgage during the third quarter of fiscal
year 2000 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2001.

Total expenses increased 435% to $2,747,000 in 2000 from $632,000 in 1999. This
increase is primarily due to the increase in the number of offices and
employees.

Interest expense increased 1,439% to $532,500 in 2000 from $37,000 in 1999, due
primarily to higher usage of our warehouse facilities.

Depreciation expenses increased in 2000 to $112,000 from $5,000 in 1999,
primarily due to the increase in the number of offices combined with additional
furniture and fixtures.

In 2000, the Company had net losses of $1,377,000 compared to net losses of
$274,000 in 1999. The increase in net losses in 2000 compared to 1999 was the
result of increased overhead due to the acquisitions of Residential Lenders,
Occidental Mortgage and Wall Street Mortgage and duplication of various
positions because of these acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2000, we had a negative cash position of $300,000 (included in
accounts payable). During the same period, we experienced negative cash flows
from operations amounting to $392,000. Rising interest rates leading to a
decline in loan production place additional pressures on liquidity.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000 and the first quarter of fiscal
year 2001, we conducted a private placement of our common stock. As part of this
private placement, we issued 1,486,702 shares of Common Stock, and we raised
approximately $1.4 million. Additional capital will need to be raised for us to
continue our business as contemplated in our business plan beyond fiscal year
2001.

The discussion above addresses working capital requirements. In addition to
working capital, we fund our "Mortgage Loans Held for Sale" through advances
under warehouse lines of credit. Our subsidiary, StarNet Mortgage, currently
uses two lines of credit (implemented by means of loan purchase agreements) with
an aggregate limit of $11,000,000 provided by First State Bank of Moulton and
Lott State Bank. Additionally, StarNet Mortgage maintains two warehouse lines of
credit with DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. and IMPAC Warehouse Lending Group with
borrowing limits of $30,000,000 and $25,000,000, respectively.

We have a critical need for additional working capital to execute our business
strategy. We anticipate using the net proceeds of the private placement
discussed above to open additional regional offices, hire additional personnel
and maintain net worth requirements for federal agency approvals and credit
facilitation. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital, we
will forego further expansion of our net branch and regional office network,
reduce the number of employees and overhead expenses, curtail our loan
production activities and/or sell loans earlier than is optimal and concentrate
our efforts on our existing operations.

We believe that the lines of credit, funds generated from operations and the net
proceeds of the private placement will be sufficient to finance our current and
anticipated operations through fiscal year 2001. Our long-term capital
requirements beyond this period will depend on numerous factors, including the
following:


                                        7
<PAGE>   10


     o    the rate of market acceptance of our products and services;

     o    the ability to expand our customer base; and

     o    the level of expenditures for sales and marketing and other factors.

To the extent that the lines of credit, the net proceeds of the private
placement and our revenues are insufficient to fund the activities in the short
or long term, we would need to raise additional funds by incurring debt or
through public or private offerings of our stock. We are, however, actively
negotiating with other providers of mortgage warehouse lending facilities for
increased limits and more favorable terms.
