                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

       Homeplex Mortgage Investments Corporation,  a Maryland corporation,  (the
Company)  commenced  operations in July 1988. As described in Note 4 the Company
has  purchased  interests  in  mortgage  certificates  securing   collateralized
mortgage  obligations  (CMOs) and interests  relating to mortgage  participation
certificates (MPCs) (collectively  residual interests).  Since December 1993 the
Company has originated various loans secured by real estate (see Note 3).

       The accompanying  interim financial  statements do not include all of the
information and disclosures  generally required for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of management,  however,  all  adjustments  (consisting of normal
recurring  adjustments)  considered  necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating  results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be  expected  for the
entire year. These financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the
December 31, 1995 financial statements and notes thereto.


NOTE 2 - GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Basis of Presentation

       The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Homeplex
Mortgage  Investments  Corporation  and  its  wholly-owned   subsidiaries.   All
significant  intercompany  balances and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in
consolidation.

       Income Taxes

       The Company has  elected to be taxed as a real  estate  investment  trust
(REIT) under the Internal  Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company must  distribute
annually at least 95% of its taxable income to its stockholders.

       At December 31, 1995, the Company has available, for income tax purposes,
a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $57,000,000. Such loss may be
carried forward, with certain restrictions,  for up to 14 years to offset future
taxable  income,  if any. Until the tax loss  carryforward  is fully utilized or
expires,  the Company will not be required to pay dividends to its  stockholders
except for income that is deemed to be excess inclusion income.

       The income reported in the accompanying financial statements is different
than  taxable  income  because  some  income and expense  items are  reported in
different periods for income tax purposes.  The principal  differences relate to
the  amortization  of  residual  interests  and the  treatment  of stock  option
expense.

       Residual Interests

       Interests  relating to mortgage  participation  certificates and residual
interest certificates are accounted for as described in Note 4.

                                   (Unaudited)

       Cash and Cash Equivalents

       Cash and cash  equivalents  include demand  deposits and  certificates of
deposit with maturities of less than three months.

       Net Income Per Share

       Primary net income per share is  calculated  using the  weighted  average
shares of common stock  outstanding and common stock  equivalents.  Common stock
equivalents consist of dilutive stock options.  Net income per share is the same
for both primary and fully diluted calculations.

       Short-Term Investments

       At March 31, 1996, short-term investments consist of a Treasury Bill with
a face amount of $9,129,000, maturity date of May 9, 1996 and an estimated yield
to maturity of 5.00%.

       At March 31, 1996,  both of the Company's loans are secured by properties
located in Arizona.  As a result of this geographic  concentration,  unfavorable
economic  conditions  in Arizona  could  increase the  likelihood of defaults on
these  loans and affect the  Company's  ability to  protect  the  principal  and
interest on such loans following  foreclosures upon the real properties securing
such loans.

NOTE 4 - RESIDUAL INTERESTS

       The  Company  owns   residual   interests  in   collateralized   mortgage
obligations (CMOs) and residual interests in mortgage participation certificates
(MPCs)  (collectively  residual interests) with respect to which elections to be
treated as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) have been made.

Residual Interest Certificates

       The Company owns 100% of the residual interest certificates  representing
the residual  interests in five series of CMOs secured by mortgage  certificates
and cash  funds  held by  trustee.  The CMOs have  been  issued  through  Westam
Mortgage  Financial   Corporation   (Westam)  or  American  Southwest  Financial
Corporation  (ASW). The mortgage  certificates  securing the CMOs all have fixed
interest  rates.  Certain of the classes of CMOs have fixed  interest  rates and
certain have  interest  rates that are  determined  monthly  based on the London
Interbank  Offered Rates (LIBOR) for one month Eurodollar  deposits,  subject to
specified maximum interest rates.

       Each  series  of CMOs  consists  of  several  serially  maturing  classes
collateralized by mortgage certificates.  Generally, principal payments received
on  the  mortgage   certificates,   including   prepayments   on  such  mortgage
certificates,  are  applied  to  principal  payments  on the  classes of CMOs in
accordance with the respective  indentures.  Scheduled payments of principal and
interest  on  the  mortgage  certificates  securing  each  series  of  CMOs  and
reinvestment  earnings  thereon  are  intended to be  sufficient  to make timely
payments  of  interest on such series and to retire each class of such series by
its stated maturity.  Certain series of CMOs are subject to redemption according
to specific terms of the respective indentures.

       The  Company's  residual  interest  certificates  entitle  the Company to
receive the  excess,  if any, of  payments  received  from the pledged  mortgage
certificates  together with reinvestment income thereon over amounts required to
make debt service payments on the related CMOs and to pay related administrative
expenses  of  the  REMICs.  The  Company  also  has  the  right,  under  certain
conditions, to cause an early redemption of the CMOs. Under the early redemption
feature, the mortgage certificates are sold at the then current market price and
the CMOs  repaid at par value.  The  Company is entitled to any excess cash flow
from such early  redemptions.  The conditions under which such early redemptions
may be elected vary but generally cannot be done until the remaining outstanding
CMO balance is less than 10% of the original balance.

Interests In Mortgage Participation Certificates

       The Company  owns  residual  interests  in REMICs  with  respect to three
separate  series of Mortgage  Participation  Certificates  (MPCs)  issued by the
Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  (FHLMC)  or by the  Federal  National
Mortgage  Association  (FNMA).  The Company's MPC residual interests entitle the
Company to receive  its  proportionate  share of the excess (if any) of payments
received from the mortgage  certificates  underlying the MPCs over principal and
interest  required to be passed through to the holders of such MPCs. The Company
is not  entitled  to  reinvestment  income  earned  on the  underlying  mortgage
certificates,  is not required to pay any administrative expenses related to the
MPCs and does not have the right to elect  early  termination  of any of the MPC
classes. The mortgage  certificates  underlying the MPCs all have fixed interest
rates.  Certain of the classes of the MPCs have fixed interest rates and certain
have interest rates

                                   (Unaudited)

       The Company  accounts for residual  interests  using the  prospective net
level yield method.  Under this method, a residual  interest is recorded at cost
and  amortized  over the life of the  related  CMO or MPC  issuance.  The  total
expected cash flow is allocated between principal and interest as follows:

       1.   An effective yield is calculated as of the date of purchase based on
            the purchase price and anticipated future cash flows.

       2.   In the initial accounting period,  interest income is accrued on the
            investment  balance using the effective  yield  calculated as of the
            date of purchase.

       3.   Cash received on the investment is first applied to accrued interest
            with any  excess  reducing  the  recorded  principal  balance of the
            investment.

       4.   At each reporting date, the effective yield is recalculated based on
            the amortized cost of the investment and the  then-current  estimate
            of the remaining future cash flows.

       5.   The  recalculated  effective  yield is then used to accrue  interest
            income  on  the  investment  balance  in the  subsequent  accounting
            period.

       6.   The  above  procedure  continues  until  all  cash  flows  from  the
            investment have been received.

       At the end of each period, the amortized balance of the investment should
equal  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  cash  flows  discounted  at  the
newly-calculated  effective yield. If a residual  interest is determined to have
other than temporary  impairment,  the residual interest is written down to fair
value.

       At March 31,  1996,  the  estimated  prospective  net level  yield of the
Company's residual interests, in the aggregate, is 28% without early redemptions
or terminations  being  considered and 72% if early  redemptions or terminations
are  considered.  At March 31, 1996,  the estimated  fair value of the Company's
residual  interests,  in the  aggregate,  approximates  the Company's  aggregate
carrying value.

       The projected  yield and estimated  fair value of the Company's  residual
interests are based on prepayment  and interest  rate  assumptions  at March 31,
1996.  There will be differences,  which may be material,  between the projected
yield and the actual  yield and the fair  value of the  residual  interests  may
change significantly over time.


NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT

       On December 17, 1992, a wholly owned,  limited purpose  subsidiary of the
Company  issued  $31,000,000  of Secured  Notes under an Indenture to a group of
institutional  investors. The Notes bear interest at 7.81% and require quarterly
payments of principal and interest with the balance due on February 15, 1998. In
connection  with the  financing,  the Company  paid fees of  $635,000  which are
included in other assets in the accompanying  consolidated balance sheet and are
being  amortized to interest  expense over the life of the financing.  The Notes
are secured by the Company's residual interests in Westam 1, Westam 3, Westam 5,
Westam 6, ASW 65, FNMA  1988-24 and FNMA 1988-25 (see Note 4), and by Funds held
by the Note Trustee.  The Company used $3,100,000 of the proceeds to establish a
reserve fund. The reserve

fund, which has a specified maximum balance of $7,750,000, is to be used to make
the  scheduled  principal  and  interest  payments on the Notes if the cash flow
available from the collateral is not sufficient to make the scheduled  payments.
Depending on the level of certain  specified  financial  ratios  relating to the
collateral,  the cash flow from the  collateral is required to either prepay the
Notes at par,  increase  the  reserve  fund up to its  $7,750,000  maximum or is
remitted to the Company.  At March 31, 1996,  Funds held by Trustee  consists of
$4,781,000  in the reserve  fund and $468,000 of other funds  pledged  under the
Indenture.

NOTE 6 - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

       Under a revolving  line of credit  agreement with a bank, the Company may
borrow up to  $5,000,000,  upon payment of a 1/2%  commitment  fee with interest
payable  monthly at prime plus 1/2%.  Such advances are to be secured by certain
of the Company's real estate loans with the amount advanced equal to between 40%
to 60% of the  principal  amount of the real  estate  loans  pledged.  Only real
estate  loans  approved by the bank are  eligible for  advances.  The  agreement
contains certain financial  covenants and expired on May 5, 1996.  Through March
31, 1996, the Company had not drawn upon the line of credit.

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS

       The Company has a Stock Option Plan which is administered by the Board of
Directors. The plan provides for qualified stock options which may be granted to
key  personnel  of the  Company and  non-qualified  stock  options  which may be
granted to the Directors  and key  personnel of the Company.  The purpose of the
plan is to provide a means of performance-based compensation in order to attract
and retain qualified personnel whose job performance affects the Company.

       Options to acquire a maximum  (excluding  dividend  equivalent rights) of
437,500 shares of the Company's  common stock may be granted under the plan. The
exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock at
the date of grant. The options expire ten years after date of grant.

       Optionholders also receive,  at no additional cost,  dividend  equivalent
rights which entitle them to receive,  upon exercise of the options,  additional
shares  calculated  based on the dividends  declared  during the period from the
grant date to the exercise  date. At March 31, 1996  accounts  payable and other
liabilities  in  the   accompanying   consolidated   balance   sheets,   include
approximately  $850,000 related to the Company's granting of dividend equivalent
rights.  This liability  will remain in the  accompanying  consolidated  balance
sheets  until the options to which the  dividend  equivalent  rights  relate are
exercised, cancelled or expire.

       Under the plan, an exercising  optionholder also has the right to require
the  Company  to  purchase  some  or  all of the  optionholder's  shares  of the
Company's common stock. That redemption right is exercisable by the optionholder
only with respect to shares (including the related dividend  equivalent  rights)
that the  optionholder  has  acquired by  exercise of an option  under the Plan.
Furthermore, the optionholder can only exercise his redemption rights within six
months  from the last to expire of (i) the two year period  commencing  with the
grant date of an option,  (ii) the one year period  commencing with the exercise
date of an  option,  or  (iii)  any  restriction  period  on the  optionholder's
transfer  of the shares of common  stock he  acquires  through  exercise  of his
option.  The price for any shares  repurchased as a result of an  optionholder's
exercise of his redemption right is the lesser of the book value of those shares
at the time of redemption or the fair market value of the shares on the original
date the options were exercised.

                                   (Unaudited)

       At March 31,  1996,  there were  445,177 of options  (including  dividend
equivalent  rights)  outstanding of which 438,376 were currently  exercisable at
effective exercise prices ranging from $1.22 per share to $4.48 per share.

       Additionally,  in December 1995, in connection with the renegotiation the
Chief Executive Officer's Employment Agreement,  the Company replaced his annual
salary of $250,000 plus bonus with 750,000 of non-qualified  stock options which
vest over the three  year term of the new  Employment  Agreement.  The  exercise
price of the options is $1.50 per share  which was equal to the  closing  market
price of the common stock on grant date.  As of March 31,  1996,  200,000 of the
options were vested,  with 275,000  vesting in December  1996 and the  remaining
275,000  vesting in December  1997.  The options  will  immediately  vest upon a
change in control,  as defined.  The options will expire in December 2000. These
stock  options  are  subject  to  stockholder  approval.  In the event the stock
options are not approved by the stockholders,  the Employment Agreement provides
that the options will be converted into phantom stock rights  (PSRs).  Such PSRs
have the same vesting  provisions,  exercise  price and  expiration  date as the
related stock  options,  except that upon exercise of a PSR no stock is actually
issued. Instead, the Company will make a cash payment to the holder equal to the
difference  between the market value of the stock on the  exercise  date and the
exercise price of $1.50 per share. The PSRs, also,  provide that the holder will
receive payments equal to the product of the per share dividend amount times the
number of PSRs outstanding.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

       The  following  disclosure  of the  estimated  fair  value  of  financial
instruments  is  made  in  accordance   with   requirements  of  SFAS  No.  107,
"Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial  Instruments".  Although  management
uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of these instruments, there
are inherent  limitations in any estimation technique and the estimates are thus
not  necessarily  indicative of the amounts which the Company could realize on a
current transaction.

       The  following  describes  the  significant  assumptions  underlying  the
estimates of fair value.

       (a)  Real  Estate  Loans - The  Company's  real  estate  loans  are  both
            short-term   (one  year  or  less)  and   considered   to  be  fully
            collectible.  The terms and conditions of such loans are the same as
            would be used by the Company to fund similar type loans at March 31,
            1996. As such, fair value approximates cost.

       (b)  Short-Term   Investments  -  Short-term  investments  consist  of  a
            Treasury Bill with a fair value that approximates cost.

       (c)  Cash and Cash  Equivalents  / Funds  Held By Trustee - Cash and cash
            equivalents and funds held by Trustee consist of demand deposits and
            liquid money market funds with fair value approximating cost.

       (d)  Residual  Interests  - Residual  interests  and their fair value are
            described in Note 4 to the financial statements.

            Company's  long-term  debt is estimated to be its carrying  value at
            March 31, 1996 plus the  prepayment  penalty  the  Company  would be
            required  to make to  repay  the debt in its  entirety  prior to its
            scheduled maturity.

       Based on these  assumptions  the Company  estimates the fair value of its
financial instruments at March 31, 1996 to be as follows (in thousands):

                                                Carrying           Estimated

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition,  Results of
Operations and Interest Rates and Other Information

Results of Operations For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

       The  Company  had net  income of  $84,000 or $.01 per share for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 compared to net income of $462,000 or $.05 per share
for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

       The  Company  had income  from  mortgage  assets of  $634,000  in 1996 as
compared to income of $1,103,000 in 1995.  Interest  income on real estate loans
decreased  from $575,000 in 1995 to $190,000 in 1996 due to the reduction in the
average  outstanding  balance of real  estate  loans.  See  "Liquidity,  Capital
Resources  and  Commitments".  Income  from  residual  interests  declined  from
$415,000 in 1995 to $248,000 in 1996,  primarily as a result of the reduction in
the  average  residual   interest  balance   outstanding  as  a  result  of  the
amortization of such balance.

       The Company's interest expense declined from $250,000 in 1995 to $162,000
in 1996 as a result of the Company reducing its long-term debt.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Commitments

       The Company  raised  $80,593,000  in connection  with its initial  public
offering on July 27, 1988.  The proceeds were  immediately  utilized to purchase
residual interests. Subsequently, through October 1988, the Company purchased an
additional $59,958,000 of residual interests which were initially financed using
a combination of borrowings under  repurchase  agreements and the Company's bank
line of credit.  The Company has not  purchased  any  residual  interests  since
October 1988.

       Since December 1993, the Company has originated real estate loans secured
by various  first  deeds of trust on real  properties  located in  Arizona.  The
Company's loan program seeks higher returns by targeting loan  opportunities  to
which the  Company  can respond on a more  timely  basis than  traditional  real
estate  lenders.  At March 31, 1996,  both of the Company's loans are secured by
properties  located in Arizona.  As a result of this  geographic  concentration,
unfavorable  economic  conditions  in Arizona could  increase the  likelihood of
defaults  on these  loans and  affect  the  Company's  ability  to  protect  the
principal  and  interest  on such  loans  following  foreclosures  upon the real
properties  securing such loans.  The Company may, in the future,  make loans on
properties  located  outside  of  Arizona.  In  the  latter  half  of  1995,  in
anticipation  of a potential  acquisition  transaction,  the Company  slowed its
origination  of real estate loans.  At March 31, 1996 the Company's  real estate
loans  outstanding  total  $3,599,000 and bear interest at 16%, payable monthly,
with all principal due within one year.

       On December 17, 1992, a wholly owned  limited-purpose  subsidiary  of the
Company  issued  $31,000,000  of Secured  Notes under an Indenture to a group of
institutional  investors. The Notes bear interest at 7.81% and require quarterly
payments of principal  and  interest  with the balance due on February 15, 1998.
The Notes are secured by the Company's residual interests in Westam 1, Westam 3,
Westam 5, Westam 6, ASW 65, FNMA  1988-24 and FNMA  1988-25 and by funds held by
the Note  Trustee.  The Company used  $3,100,000  of the proceeds to establish a
reserve fund.  The reserve fund has a specified  maximum  balance of $7,750,000,
and is to be used to make the scheduled  principal and interest  payments on the
Notes if the cash flow  available  from the collateral is not sufficient to make
the scheduled  payments.  Depending on the level of certain specified  financial
ratios relating to the collateral, the cash flow from the collateral is required
to either repay the Notes at par, increase the reserve fund up to its $7,750,000
maximum or is remitted to the
                                       14

Company.  At March  31,  1996,  $5,249,000  is held by the Note  Trustee  in the
reserve and other funds under the Indenture.

       Under a revolving  line of credit  agreement with a bank, the Company may
borrow up to  $5,000,000,  upon payment of a 1/2%  commitment  fee with interest
payable  monthly at prime plus 1/2%.  Such advances are to be secured by certain
of the Company's real estate loans with the amount advanced equal to between 40%
to 60% of the  principal  amount of the real  estate  loans  pledged.  Only real
estate  loans  approved by the bank are  eligible for  advances.  The  agreement
contains certain financial  covenants and expired on May 5, 1996.  Through March
31, 1996, the Company had not drawn upon the line of credit.

       As a real estate  investment trust (REIT),  the Company is not subject to
income tax at the corporate  level as long as it distributes  95% of its taxable
income  to its  stockholders.  At  December  31,  1995,  the  Company  has a net
operating  loss  carryforward,   for  income  tax  purposes,   of  approximately
$57,000,000.  This tax loss may be carried forward,  with certain  restrictions,
for up to 14 years to offset future taxable  income,  if any. Until the tax loss
carryforward  is fully utilized or expires,  the Company will not be required to
distribute  dividends to its stockholders except for income that is deemed to be
excess inclusion income.

       The Company  anticipates  that future cash flow from  operations  will be
used for payment of operating  expenses and debt service with the remainder,  if
any,  available for  investment in mortgage or real estate related  assets.  The
Company  is also  exploring  other  strategic  options  including  the  possible
termination of the REIT status in conjunction  with the possible  purchase of an
operating company.

Interest Rates and Prepayments

       One of the Company's  major sources of income is its income from residual
interests  which  consists  of the  Company's  investment  in eight real  estate
mortgage  investment conduits ("REMICs") as described in Note 4 to the financial
statements.  The Company's cash flow and return on investment  from its residual
interests are highly  sensitive to the prepayment  rate on the related  mortgage
certificates and the variable interest rates on variable rate CMOs and MPCs.

       At March 31, 1996,  the Company's  proportionate  share of  floating-rate
CMOs and MPCs in the eight REMICs is $32,966,000  in principal  amount that pays
interest  based on LIBOR and  $4,100,000 in principal  amount that pays interest
based on COFI.  Consequently,  absent  any  changes in  prepayment  rates on the
related  mortgage  certificates,  increases in LIBOR and COFI will  decrease the
Company's  net  income,  and  decreases  in LIBOR  and COFI  will  increase  the
Company's net income. The average LIBOR and COFI rates were as follows:

                                 Three Months
                                Ended March 31,    At March 31, 1996
                                ---------------    -----------------
                                1996      1995
                                ----      ----

LIBOR......................     5.50%     6.06%          5.31%
COFI ......................     5.07%     4.57%          4.98%


       The Company's cash flow and return on investment from residual  interests
also is sensitive to prepayment rates on the mortgage  certificates securing the
CMOs and underlying the MPCs. In general,  slower  prepayment rates will tend to
increase the cash flow and return on investment on  investment  from  interests.
The rate of principal  prepayments on mortgage  certificates  is influenced by a
variety of economic,
                                       15

geographic,  social and other factors.  In general,  prepayments of the mortgage
certificates should increase when the current mortgage interest rates fall below
the interest  rates on the fixed rate  mortgage  loans  underlying  the mortgage
certificates.  Conversely,  to the extent that then  current  mortgage  interest
rates exceed the interest  rates on the mortgage  loans  underlying the mortgage
certificates,   prepayments  of  such  mortgage  certificates  should  decrease.
Prepayment rates also may be affected by the geographic location of the mortgage
loans underlying the mortgage certificates, conditions in mortgage loan, housing
and  financial  markets,  the  assumability  of the  mortgage  loans and general
economic conditions.
