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 period ended March 31, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes related thereto included in the Company's
audited annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998.
NOTE 2: FINANCING ACTIVITY
The Company has secured warehouse lines of credit on favorable terms
from the following institutions:
First Union National Bank $20 million
Household Financial Services, Inc. $20 million
Princap Mortgage Warehouse, Inc. $10 million
Republic Bank $7.5 million
In May 1999, the Company was approved for an additional warehouse line
of credit with Great Eastern Funding, LLC for $10 million. All warehouse lines
of credit are one year renewable contracts and there can be no assurance that
they will renew or renew on similar terms. $9 million did not renew in the first
quarter of 1999 due to the lenders no longer existing.
NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings
per share. Basic earnings per share include only common stock outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes exercising warrants and options
granted that are "In the Money" and convertible preferred stock and debt.
Earning per share is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the basic weighted average number of common shares and income
available to all stock holders by the diluted weighted average number of common
shares. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, diluted earnings per share have
not been adjusted for the anti dilutive effect of preferred stock dividends,
warrants, options, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock.
NOTE 4: RELATED PARTY CONTINGENCY
The Company has agreed to repurchase $333,333 of its common stock owned
by Medical Industries of America, Inc. at $5.73 per share if diluted earnings
per share do not equal or exceed $0.45 per diluted share, as defined in the
settlement agreement, for the six months ending June 30, 1999.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------- ---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking
statements. For this purpose, any statements contained in it that are not
statements of historical fact should be regarded forward-looking statements. For
example, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," and "expects" 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, those
shown in the company's 1998 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 together with the Company's condensed
consolidated unaudited Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 and the
related Notes in this Form 10-QSB, and the company's audited Financial
Statements and the related Notes contained in the Company's audited Financial
Statements and the related Notes contained in the Company's 1998 Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB.
General
Westmark Mortgage Corporation, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
is a mortgage banking company engaged in the business of funding, purchasing and
selling mortgage loans secured primarily by one-to-four family residences. The
Company primarily generates income from (i) gains recognized from premiums on
loans sold to institutional purchasers, (ii) investment income earned on loans
held for sale, and (iii) origination fees and related revenue received as part
of loan closings. Gain on sale of loans, which represents the sales price in
excess of loan acquisition and related costs from whole loan sales, constituted
74% and 76% of total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Investment income earned on loans held for sale constituted 13%
and 11% of total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Loan origination fees and related revenue represented 11% and 13%
of total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company sells most of the loans it funds, generally within 30 to 45
days of origination. The loans are sold through purchase agreements with
Household Financial Services, Green Tree Mortgage Services, Conti Mortgage
Corp., Associates Home Equity Services, Inc., First City Capital Corporation and
various other non-conforming mortgage conduits. These agreements are for
specific terms or are open ended, and require the loans to satisfy the
underwriting criteria described therein. During the quarters ended March 31,
1999 and 1998, the Company sold loans totaling $84.8 million and $46.0 million,
respectively. The Company does not retain the servicing rights for any of the
loans it sells, and sells all loans primarily in whole loan sales. The gain on
sale of loans was $3,503,529 and $2,317,820 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
Loans held for sale were comprised of all sub-prime loans at March 31,
1999 and 1998. At the time the Company commits to fund a loan, the interest rate
is locked for the individual loan transaction. Until the Company obtains a
commitment to sell the loan to an investor, the Company is subject to
interest-rate fluctuations.
Investment income earned on loans held for sale is derived primarily
from interest payments on loans in inventory. Loans generally carry a note rate
in excess of the Company's borrowing cost. This results in a positive revenue
differential between cost to borrow (at the time the loan funds) and the loan
sale. However, management's strategy is to sell those loans in whole loan sales
and in bulk sales as quickly as practicable in
7
<PAGE>
order to optimize cash flow from the sale of the loans. In addition, the Company
realizes revenue from loan origination fees and certain loan discount fees.
The Company assigns credit grades to its sub-prime loans during the
underwriting process. These grades range from "A+" to "D". At March 31, 1999,
the credit grades assigned to mortgage loans held for sale was approximately 75%
"A+", "A" and "A-", 16% "B", 8% "C", and 1% "D". About 60% of these loans were
adjustable rate mortgages and 40% were fixed rate. The weighted average interest
rate of these loans was approximately 10.4%.
Underwriting
All home equity loans are underwritten to the Company's mortgage underwriting
guidelines. The underwriting process is intended to assess both the prospective
borrower's ability to repay the loan and the adequacy of the real property
security as collateral for the loan. In the origination process, typically, the
loan application is taken by the approved broker/correspondent using the basic
application (FNMA Form 1003) and the credit report ordered by the originating
office. The 1003 and credit report are forwarded via Toll Free fax to the Boca
Raton, Florida, Santa Ana, California or the Downers Grove, Illinois office.
Westmark underwriters grade the credit report and determine acceptability within
program guidelines and a preliminary approval/pre-qualification is faxed back to
the originator. Approvals are generally generated within a 24-hour period and
closing occurs within days. Account executives rely on pagers, fax machines,
cellular phones and overnight delivery to be in contact with corporate
headquarters at all times. The underwriting standards involve the following:
o the borrower's ability to repay is analyzed by verifying
qualifying income via traditional methods,
i.e., self-employed borrowers are asked to supply copies of
Federal Income Tax Returns and waged borrowers supply copies of
W-2 forms and paystubs. In instances where "stated income" is
used, lower loan to value ratios are offered, and verification of
the source of the income is obtained (copies of business license,
phone verification of employment and/or bank statements);
o loan to value ratios are adjusted to reflect the condition of the
borrower's recent credit history. The greater and more recent the
derogatory items are, the more equity the borrower is required to
maintain in the property;
o the property being offered as security for the loan is appraised
by a state licensed appraiser. The appraisal report is carefully
reviewed by Westmark's staff underwriter to ensure that the loan
is sufficiently secured. If there is a question about the quality
of the appraisal, a review from another appraiser is obtained.
Larger loan sizes require two full independent appraisal reports;
o on purchase transactions, the borrower's cash down payment is
verified as to amount and source to ensure that they have
legitimate equity in the property and on refinances, the length of
time of ownership is verified, using FNMA guidelines in this area;
o and, on a case-by-case basis, after review and approval by the
Company's underwriters, home equity loans may be made which vary
from the underwriting guidelines and any variations must be
approved by a senior underwriter or by an executive officer of the
Company.
In summary, Westmark carefully analyzes each borrower's income, credit
and equity. The loan to value ratio reflects the risk associated with each
borrower's situation. These steps are taken to ensure each loan's quality and
performance.
See Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company
(included in Item 1) for further discussion of accounting policies and other
significant items.

Results of Operations
Quarter ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Quarter ended March 31, 1998
Total revenues increased 55% to $4,738,497 in 1999 from $3,056,142 in
1998. This increase was primarily due to the Company's increased ability to
acquire and sell non-conforming mortgages, offset by a reduction in the premium
spread received.
Gain on sale of loans, all of which was derived from premiums on whole
loan sales, increased 51% to $3,503,529 in 1999 from $2,317,820 in 1998. The
volume of non-conforming loans acquired was approximately $86.2 million in 1999
and $46.6 million in 1998. This increase was the result of increased sales
volume and management's strategy to concentrate on originating and selling
non-conforming loans, offset by a reduction in the premium spread received.
Beginning in October 1998 margins on the sale of loans and the rate of
growth in the Company's whole loan sales were both reduced. This was the result
of many investors deciding to invest in more liquid securities with higher
yields. At the same time several investors who historically had acquired
mortgage loans for resale in credit enhanced and non-enhanced packages went out
of business or lost their funding sources. Since the October correction, margins
have stabilized and the Company has been able to continue growing, primarily
because the investors purchasing a significant majority of the Company's
mortgages buy mortgages to hold for investment rather than resale. As a result
of this investment approach they are less concerned with liquidity and have
continued to purchase the Company's loans in the same or greater quantities as
during 1998, although at somewhat reduced premiums.
Loan origination fees increased 36% to $524,781 in 1999 from $384,785
in 1998. This increase is primarily due to increased loan volume and management
adjusting the loan origination pricing structure to provide for an increase in
per loan origination fees. Initially, this change could reduce the cash
requirements at the time of loan funding.
Investment income, comprised primarily of interest earned on loans held
for sale, increased 86% to $627,724 in 1999 from $337,787 in 1998. This increase
is due primarily to more loan sales in 1999 as compared with 1998.
Total expenses increased 75% to $4,647,522 in 1999 from $2,655,523 in
1998. This increase is primarily due to (i) an increase in general and
administrative expenses, (ii) an increase in direct loan fees, and (iii) an
increase in interest expense.
Direct loan fee expenses increased 101% to $883,654 in 1999 from
$440,195 in 1998, due primarily to the increase in loan volume, fees paid to
brokers and loan processing fees charged by the Company's warehouse lenders.
Interest expense increased 107% to $629,210 in 1999 from $304,571 in
1998, due primarily to the increased volume of whole loan originations and
acquisitions offset by the reduced borrowing cost associated with the Company's
Warehouse Facilities.
General and administrative expense increased 90% to $3,098,921 in 1999
from $1,631,197 in 1998, due primarily to (i) the cost of increased personnel in
1998 to manage increased loan volume, (ii) the absorption in the first quarter
of 1999 of two acquisitions made in late 1998, and (iii) additional staff to
provide support for planned 1999 growth.
9
<PAGE>
Depreciation expenses increased in 1999 to $40,737 from $17,331 in
1998, primarily due to increased purchases of computer hardware and software,
and leasehold improvements.
In 1999, the Company had net income of $105,975, compared to a net
income of $435,619 in 1998, resulting in net income per share of $0.02 in 1999
as compared with a net income per share of $0.17 in 1998. The decrease in net
income in 1999 compared to 1998 was the result of the Company absorbing in the
first quarter of 1999 two acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 1998 and
staffing up for planned 1999 higher production.
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.
On March 31, 1999, total stockholders equity was $2,549,539, working
capital was $613,639 and net income was $90,975. 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 as described in note 2 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements (collectively the "Warehouse
Facilities"). Pursuant to the Warehouse Facilities, the Company has available
total secured revolving credit lines of $67.5 million 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 prime
plus 2%, payable at the time of purchase by the permanent investor. The
Warehouse Facilities provide for a transaction charge from $100 per loan to as
low as $25 per loan and require the Company to possess a minimum net worth of
$2.5 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. On March 31, 1999,
the balance outstanding, pursuant to the Warehouse Facilities, totaled
$26,712,122. In April, 1999, the Company obtained a working capital line of
credit for $150,000 with Northern Trust Bank.
As a result of the exchange agreement with Medical Industries of
America, Inc. (MIOA), if diluted earnings per share do not equal or exceed $0.45
per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company could be
required to purchase up to $333,333 of its common stock at $5.73 per share. The
Company can use its ownership of MIOA preferred stock ($272,500) as payment and
also has a contingency reserve fund secured by a certificate of deposit of
$200,000.
Year 2000 Compliance
Computer-based systems that utilize two digits rather than four digits
to define the applicable year may fail to properly recognize date sensitive
information when the year changes to 2000. The Company has completed a
comprehensive review of its computer-based systems to determine if they will be
affected by resulting Year 2000 related compliance issues, that is whether those
systems have Year 2000 related "computer bugs." This review has revealed no
material Year 2000 related compliance issues primarily because the Company has
developed or purchased most of its computer hardware and software systems within
the last four years. Therefore, it does not expect to be affected by Year 2000
issues because very few of the Company's computer-based systems were installed
before the Y2K problem was recognized. We do not expect to incur Year 2000
compliance related costs that would be material to us. The Company is asking for
confirmation from outside vendors, financial institutions and others that they
are Year 2000 compliant or that they are developing and implementing plans to
become Year 2000 compliant. However, there is no assurance that these outside
vendors, financial institutions and others will timely resolve their own Year
2000 compliance issues or that any such failure would not have an adverse effect
on the Company. The Company has completed contingency plans to assure the
continuation of its operations if these outside vendors, financial institutions
or others fail to timely resolve their own Year 2000 compliance issues. The
Company believes it is
10
<PAGE>
devoting the necessary resources to timely address all Year 2000 compliance
issues over which we have control.
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-------------------------
The Company does not believe that any of the pending legal proceedings and those
reported in its 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, individually or in the
aggregate, would 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 the company, should not
have a material adverse effect on the company's financial position.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
------- -----------------------------------------
On March 1, 1999: The Company issued 2,508 shares of registered Common
Stock to a creditor of the Company in satisfaction of $5,000 in debt. The
transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act"), pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act.
