              Condensed Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements


NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310b of
Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's audited annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1997.

NOTE 2:  FINANCING ACTIVITY

         During the first quarter of 1998, Westmark Group Holdings, Inc. ("WGHI"
or the "Company"), in exchange for $154,004 and 48,624 shares of common stock,
provided for the issuance of 69,572 shares of Series G preferred stock to MCA
Financial Corporation ("MCA") and in the second quarter of 1998, WGHI, in
exchange for $152,140, provided for the issuance of 30,428 additional shares of
Series G preferred stock all pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into
in September 1997 in connection with the sale of mortgage loan packages to MCA.
All monies received were used for funding operating activities.

         In February 1998, certain executives of the Company agreed to purchase
400,000 shares of common stock at $2.125 per share (the closing bid price of the
Company's common stock on the date prior to the date of such agreement)(the
"1998 Executive Stock Purchase"). In connection with the 1998 Executive Stock
Purchase, the executives paid $600,000 to the Company and delivered to the
Company promissory notes in an aggregate amount of $250,000 payable over three
years with interest at 10% per annum.

NOTE 3:  REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

         On August 28, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved a reverse
stock split in the range of 1 for 3 to 1 for 5 to be determined by the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors approved a 1 for 5 reverse stock split on
August 29, 1997 with an effective date of September 3, 1997. The stockholders
also approved a change in the authorized common stock from 50,000,000 shares to
15,000,000 shares.

NOTE 4:  EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic earning (loss) per common share has been computed using the net
income (loss) adjusted for preferred dividends over the weighted average shares
outstanding. Diluted loss per common share for the six months ended June 30,
1997 has not been presented since the effect of common stock equivalents would

              Condensed Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 5:  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On July 28, 1998, a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel granted the
Company's request for continued inclusion on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market
pursuant to an exception to the net tangible assets/market capitalization/net
income requirement as set forth in NASD Marketplace Rule 431(e)(2). The panel
granted the exception on the condition that by August 15, 1998, the Company make
a public filing with the SEC and NASDAQ, evidencing a minimum of $2,000,000 net
tangible assets and continued profitability. This report on form 10-QSB
satisfies the requirement of continued profitability. The following July 31,

$253,892 for the month ended July 31, 1998; 2) Debt of $179,749 converted to
79,888 shares of common stock on August 7, 1998.

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

Forward Looking Statement
- -------------------------

         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking
statements. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not
statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.
Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans,"
"expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such
forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the
Company's ability to generate mortgage loans and/or acquire them on favorable
terms, interest rate fluctuations and those set forth in the Company's 1997
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB under the caption "Certain Factors That May Affect
Future Results."

         The following discussion of the Company's results of operations and
financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed
consolidated unaudited Financial Statements listed in Part I, Item 1 and the
Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB, and the Company's audited
Financial Statements listed in Item 7 and the Notes thereto appearing in the
Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.


FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -------------------------------

         On a consolidated basis, total revenues increased to $7,170,624 and
$4,114,482 in the six months and three months ended June 30, 1998 compared with
$3,075,907 and $1,795,272 in the six months and three months ended June 30,
1997, an increase of 133% and 129%. This continues to reflect the implementation
of Westmark's strategic plan to concentrate its efforts on its non-conforming
(subprime) mortgage lending business. Expenses for the six months and three
months ended June 30, 1998 increased to $6,292,951 and $3,637,428 from
$2,976,889 and $1,506,328 for the six months and three months ended June 30,
1997, a 111% and 141% increase. The primary reason for the increase was expected
expenses associated with the planned growth of the non-conforming (subprime)
mortgage business which also is reflected in the increase in general and
administrative expenses from $1,771,680 and $855,827 in the six months and three
months ended June 30, 1997 to $4,084,731 and $2,168,401 in the six months and
three months ended June 30, 1998 (a 131% and 153% increase). The increase in
loan origination costs from $278,549 and $128,154 in the six months and three
months ended June 30, 1997 to $1,024,176 and $721,139 in the period ended June
30, 1998 (a 267% and 463% increase), resulted primarily from increased broker
cost. The increase in marketing and advertising and interest expense is
primarily the result of the addition of new staff to support the growing loan
volume and new account executives to further increase loan production and an
increase in expenditures on advanced technology. The increase in professional
fees from $180,490 in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 to $234,955 in the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 is primarily due to increased legal fees.

         Net income was $947,673 ($0.35 per share) and $512,054 ($0.18 per
share) for the six months and three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to a
net loss of $233,944 ($0.21 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and net income of $33,038 ($0.03 per share) for the three months ended June
30,1997, all of these increases were based on increased loan production and
more consistent margins on the sale of loans.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS
- -------------------

         During the six months of 1998, the Company continued to focus its
business on funding non-conforming (subprime) mortgages, with approximately 99%
of all closed loan volume being non-conforming (subprime) loan fundings. Total
non-conforming (subprime) loan fundings by the Company increased from $49.3
million in the six months ending June 30, 1997 to $119.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of 143%.

         In the first two quarters of 1998, the Company continued to expand its
non-conforming (subprime) lending program through bulk sales, and as a result,
experienced increased revenue in the first six months of 1998 from this
expansion. The Company is continuing to focus its marketing efforts in the
non-conforming (subprime) loan market. The increase in the non-conforming
(subprime) loans has come primarily from an increased market share in Florida,
Illinois, California and Georgia. Management intends to continue its marketing
strategy in additional states throughout the Southeast, Midwest and West Coast,
where licensing and/or sales activities began or expanded this period.

         The Company continues to sell loan originations on a
"servicing-released" basis to investors in the normal course of business. The
Company's bulk sales program for non-conforming (subprime) paper in which loans
are pooled and sold in packages generally ranging from $3-15 million remains an
integral key to future growth. During the first two quarters, total loan sales
to third party investors in the secondary market equaled $109.7 million, an
increase of 126% from $48.6 million in the first two quarters ended June 30,
1997.

Bulk sales
- ----------

         During the six months ended June 30, 1998, bulk sales were completed
with several institutional investors, including Household Financial Services,
Inc., The Money Store, Associates First Capital, Conti Financial and MCA
Financial Corporation.


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 lines of credit to
meet its working capital needs. The Company's cash requirements include the
funding of loan originations, purchases, payment of interest expenses,
operations expenses, taxes and capital expenditures, along with settlement
agreements negotiated though June 30, 1998.

         On June 30, 1998, total stockholders equity was $2,178,473. 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 warehouse lines of credit with various lenders
including Household Financial Services, Inc., The Money Store, Princap Mortgage
Warehouse, Inc., MCA Financial Corporation and most recently, First Union
National Bank. (collectively the "Warehouse Facilities"). Pursuant to the
Warehouse Facilities, the Company has available total secured revolving credit
lines of $46 million, ( an increase of $20 million since December 31, 1997), to
finance the Company's origination or purchase of loans, pending sale to
investors. The lines of credit pursuant to the Warehouse Facilities are
collateralized by the assignment and pledge of eligible mortgage loans. The
various lines making up the Warehouse Facilities bear interest at annual rates
ranging from Libor plus 1 1/8 to 1 1/2 - 2% above prime, payable at the time of
purchase by the permanent investor. The Warehouse Facilities provide for a

                                       9
<PAGE>

transaction charge from $100 per loan to as low as $25 per loan and require the
Company to possess a minimum net worth of $3.6 million, a current ratio of 1.1
and a compensating cash balance on deposit in the amount of $5,000 under the
more restrictive covenants. The Company was not in compliance with these
covenants at June 30, 1998 or December 31, 1997 and received a waiver from the
warehouse lender. On June 30, 1998, the balance outstanding, pursuant to this
Warehouse Facilities, totaled $19,674,427. First Union National Bank has granted
the Company a $10 million line of credit, on the same terms discussed above, to
acquire small ($1 to $5 million) pools of loans. The Company does not currently
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. However, as the
Company has become cash-flow positive, the necessity to utilize this type of
financing has been reduced, allowing the Company to decrease both the size and
the frequency of its common stock issuances.

 PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

         ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
         -------------------------

         The Company is a defendant in IMPERIAL CREDIT INDUSTRIES, INC. VS.
WESTMARK MORTGAGE CORPORATION, American Arbitration Association Case
#804880004597X filed in Irvine, California on December 2, 1996. Plaintiff
alleges that Westmark Mortgage Corporation is obligated to repurchase various
loans and the matter has been set for contractual arbitration in December of
1998. Discovery is ongoing but inconclusive with respect to the liability of the
Company.

         The Company is a defendant in CROWN BANK VS. WESTMARK MORTGATE
CORPORATION filed on March 25, 1998 in the Circuit Court of Seminole County,
Florida, Case #199898625CA15A. Plaintiff alleges that Westmark is obligated to
repurchase multiple loans. Westmark has filed an Answer to the Complaint but no
discovery has been undertaken. The Company's potential liability, if any, cannot
be ascertained until initial discovery has been completed.

     The Company is a defendant in COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS VS. WESTMARK MORTGAGE
CORPORATION filed on May 19, 1998 in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County,
California, Case # GC021232. The defendant alleges that Westmark Mortgage
Corporation is obligated to repurchase various loans pursuant to a Loan Purchase
Agreement executed by the parties. The Company has an extension of time to
respond to the Complaint, through August 10, 1998. The Company's potential
liability, if any, cannot be ascertained until initial discovery is completed,
at which time the Company intends to submit a proposal for settlement.

         The Company is a plaintiff in WESTMARK GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. VS. MEDICAL
INDUSTRIES OF AMERICA, INC. filed on June 23, 1998 in the Circuit Court of Palm
Beach County, Florida, Case # 98 005545 AG. The Company filed this Declaratory
Judgment action as a result of the Defendant's demand for additional shares of
common stock of the Company pursuant to an Anti-Dilution Provision in a November
1996 Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and the defendant which
provided the defendant's ownership of the Company would not be diluted below
49%. The Company is seeking a declaration by the Court that the Defendant is
bound by the terms of a 1997 Settlement Agreement between the parties which
terminated the Anti-Dilution Provision. The defendant is asserting that the
Settlement Agreement was conditioned upon the Company securing additional
financing, and that therefore the Anti-Dilution Provision is still in effect.
The Company believes that the defendant's position is without merit. The Company
and the defendant are engaged in settlement negotiations which the Company
believes will result in voluntary dismissal of its Complaint and a waiver by the
defendant of its claim for additional shares of Company common stock.

         Management does not believe that any of these proceedings, individually
or in the aggregate, will materially impact the Company's financial condition or
results of operations. 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.
