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

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        On a consolidated basis, total revenues increased to $672,902 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996 from $671,719 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
an increase of 2%. The increase is a result of greater profit margins on the
bulk sale of B/C paper along with the flow sales on "A" paper. This increase in
revenue is a combination of the increased marketing efforts in the B/C loan area
along with investor commitments to buy bulk loan packages.

        Expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 decreased 30% to
$1,266,698 from $1,792,840 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. Loan
origination costs decreased 2% to $373,224 for the current quarter from $381,090
in the comparable prior year quarter ending March 31, 1995. General and
Administrative expenses decreased 33% to $892,777 from $1,324,547 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995. Marketing and Advertising expense decreased 64% to
$22,656 from $62,474 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

        A net loss resulted for the current quarter of $589,626 or $0.21 per
share as compared to a net loss of $1,121,121 or $1.80 per share for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995. This decreased loss is due to significant cost cutting
efforts by management in areas of General and Administrative through salary
reductions, lease termination and operational consolidations, as well as
increased margins on the sale of loans.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

        During the first quarter of 1996, the Company continued increased loan
volumes in B/C paper. B/C loan fundings increased from $2.75 million in the 3
months ending March 31, 1995 to $4.79 million for the three months ended March
31, 1996, an increase of 74% and the B/C loan pipeline from $7.8 million on
March 31, 1995 to $13.4 million on March 31, 1996. The loan pipeline is a
leading indictor of loan fundings and revenue and management believes that will
increase in the second quarter of 1996.

        The Company officially launched its B/C lending program during the first
quarter of 1995. B/C loans are for borrowers with credit histories that fall
below the guidelines set forth by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Although the B/C
division is only 1 year old, 33% of the Company's loan fundings during the 1st
quarter of 1996 were from B/C loans and over 60% of revenues realized were from
B/C loans. The Company is focusing its marketing efforts in the B/C loan market.
The Company is now registered and/or licensed to lend in 20 states. While the
increase in the B/C loan pipeline has come primarily from an increased market
share in Florida, management intends to

                                        8
<PAGE>
continue its marketing strategy in additional states, including California,
Georgia, Washington, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, and Missouri.

        The Company continues to sell loan origination's on a
"servicing-released" basis to investors in the normal course of business. The
Company is continuing to seek additional warehouse lines to accommodate
anticipated increase in ordinations. The increase in origination's will be
created by Westmark's geographic expansion and increase in market share. The
Company instituted a bulk sales program for B/C paper in which loans are pooled
and sold in packages ranging from $500,000 to $3,000,000. During the first
quarter, the bulk sales delivery was completed successfully with 3 institutional
investors purchasing Westmark non-conforming originations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company uses its cash flow from whole loan sales, loan origination
fees, net interest income and borrowings under its warehouse line of credit to
meet its working capital needs. The Company's cash requirements include the
funding of loan origination's, purchases, payment of interest expenses,
operating expenses, taxes and capital expenditures.

        On March 31, 1996, total stockholders equity was $1,011,578. Adequate
credit facilities and other sources of funding, including the ability of the
Company to sell loans, are essential to the continuation of the Company's
ability to originate and purchase loans. The Company borrows funds on a short
term basis to support the accumulation of loans prior to sale. These short term
borrowings are made under a warehouse line of credit with Princap Mortgage, Inc.
("Warehouse Facility"). Pursuant to the Warehouse Facility, the Company has
available a secured revolving credit line of $15 million to finance the
Company's origination or purchase of loans, pending sale to investors. The line
of credit, pursuant to the Warehouse Facility, has collateral of the assignment
and pledge of eligible mortgage loans, bears interest at an annual rate of 2%
above prime, payable at the time of purchase by the permanent investor. The
Warehouse Facility provides for a transaction charge of $140 per loan and
requires the Company to possess a minimum net worth of $250,000 an compensating
cash balance on deposit in the amount of $5,000. On March 31, 1996, the balance
outstanding , pursuant to this Warehouse Facility, totaled $8,390,719. The
Company does not have any other external lines of credit for financing.

        Historically, the Company has obtained financing through the issuance of
its common stock and borrowings on a negotiated basis. During the first quarter
of 1996, the Company issued 12,000 shares of Common Stock for services rendered.
During 1995, the Company issued 956,162 shares of common stock for cash and
other consideration. In May and June 1995, the Company raised $600,000 cash
through the issuance of convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of
$600,000 and the warrants entitling holders to purchase certain securities
("Bridge Financing"). In April

                                        9
<PAGE>
1996, the Company and all these investors agreed to restructure the investment
and the Company paid such investors an aggregate amount of $600,000 and issued
such investors 300,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred
Stock") with a stated value of $600,000. The Series B Preferred Stock has a
liquidation preference of $600,000, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, is
redeemable by the Company at a redemption price of $600,000, plus accrued and
unpaid dividends from the date of redemption, subject to adjustment in the event
of certain circumstances, and is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a
conversion price equal to the lessor of $2.00 or 84% of the closing bid price
prior to the date of conversion (subject to further adjustment). In November
1995, Heart Labs purchased 1,298,000 shares of Company common stock in exchange
for $1,210,000 cash and cash equivalents, which was utilized for working capital
purposes, and the issuance of 200,000 shares of Heart Labs Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock with the stated value of $10 per share.

        In addition, Heart Labs advanced the Company an aggregate amount of
$1,390,000 during the first quarter of 1996 and $653,000 in the 2nd quarter of
1996, primarily to fund outstanding debt obligations along with working capital.
The company is dependent on Hear Labs in order to satisfy certain debt
obligations and working capital needs for the first and second quarter of 1996.
The Company's internally generated cash flows from operations has historically
been and continue to be insufficient for its cash needs. It is expected that
internal sources of liquidity will improve when net cash is provided by
operating activities and, until such time, the Company will rely on external
sources for liquidity. The Company has not established any other lines of credit
or other similar financial arrangements with any lenders, and it continues to
rely on Heart Labs for assistance to meet immediate working capital needs. If it
appears at any time in the future that the Company is again approaching a
condition of cash deficiency, the Company will be required to seek additional
debt or equity financing or bring cash flows in balance. Management does not
anticipate the need for any such action and, therefore, has no specific plans or
commitments with respect thereto for the Company. However, if such action was
required, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in any such
effort.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        The Company is a defendant in Robert J. Conover vs. Greentree Mortgage
Co., L.P. and Greentree Management Corporation (collectively, "Greentree"),
Westmark Group Holdings, Inc., Westmark Mortgage Corporation and Michael F.
Morrell, Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Burlington County,
filed September 25, 1995. The plaintiff served as president and chief financial
officer of Greentree pursuant to an employment agreement between the plaintiff
and Greentree. Plaintiff was discharged from those positions in September 1995.
Plaintiff brought this action for compensatory damages based upon alleged breach
of such employment agreement. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, damages
against Westmark and Mr. Morrell based upon an allegation of intentional
interference with contractual obligations and a third

                                       10
<PAGE>
party beneficiary claim with respect to the Company. Mr. Morrell is indemnified
by the Company.

        On October 27, 1995, the plaintiff sought a temporary restraining order
and preliminary injunction enjoining the Company from the acquiring Greentree.
Such request was denied as the Court found that, among other things, the
applicable test requiring plaintiff to show a likelihood of success on the
merits was not met. The Company has terminated negotiations with Greentree.
Greentree has agreed to maintain a minimum net worth of $1,000,000. Management
believes that this obligation does not transfer in any way to the Company in
connection with its attempted purchase of certain assets of Greentree. Greentree
disputes the allegations of the complaint. The Company believes that there is
not legal justification for the joinder of the Company and Mr. Morrell as
defendants in the pending dispute between the plaintiff and Greentree, and
intends to vigorously defend this allegation.

        In the matter of Saxon Mortgage v. Westmark, Saxon Mortgage obtained a
judgment in the amount of $469,348 in connection with various repurchase
obligations. An amount of $50,000 has been paid, and the remaining liability of
$419,348 is accrued at December 31, 1995. Negotiations are continuing between
the two parties to settle this matter.

        The Company is a defendant in Conway et al v. Danna, Network Financial
Services, Inc., et al. The suit alleges Unfair Practices, Fraud (Negligent
Misrepresentations; Intentional Misrepresentations; Concealment); Breach of
Written Contract; Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing;
Common Count; and Breach of California Securities Statutes against Network
Financial Services, Inc. (a.k.a. Westmark Group Holdings, Inc.) and others. The
Company considers the risk of loss in this matter to be remote and,
consequently, no amount has been accrued as of December 31, 1995.

        The Company is plaintiff in Network Financial Services, Inc. v. McCurdy,
Raiche, Ryals, Nash & Moss Land Company, filed March 1993 in Monterey County,
California Superior Court. The plaintiff alleges fraud, negligent
misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, quiet title, RICO
violations and conversion. Defendant McCurdy initiated a cross-complaint naming,
among others, the Company as a cross defendant. The cross-complaint seeks
damages for breach of a stock option agreement, breach of contract, and
declaratory relief. The Company has finalized a settlement with defendants
Raiche and Ryals, wherein defendants Raiche and Ryals transferred 7,166 shares
to the Company's Common Stock to the Company in addition to one-half (1/2)
interest in certain property. The balance of the pending litigation involving
defendant and cross-complaint McCurdy and others is unaffected by the
Raiche/Ryals settlement. Management intends to vigorously defend this
cross-complaint.

        The Company is defendant in Knight v. Lomas Mortgage U.S.A. and Westmark
Mortgage Corporation. The complaint is based upon a contention by the Plaintiff
that Lomas Mortgage U.S.A. as the servicing agent wrongfully impaired the credit
rating of

                                       11
<PAGE>
Plaintiff and breached the written agreement between the parties. A preliminary
determination indicates that the basis for the dispute is between Lomas U.S.A.
and the Plaintiff, but the Company has been named as a party defendant in view
of the original contractual relationship between the Plaintiff and Westmark. The
Company considers the risk of loss in this matter to be remote, and
consequently, no amount has been accrued as of December 31,1995.

        From time to time the Company is a defendant (actual or threatened) in
certain lawsuits encountered in the ordinary course of its business, the
resolution of which, in the opinion of management, should not have a material
adverse affect on the Company's financial position.
