Report of Independent Public Accountants



To the Board of Directors of Harbourton Financial Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Harbourton
Financial  Corp.  (the  "Company")  as of December  31,  1999 and 1998,  and the
related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows
for the year  ended  December  31,  1999,  and for the period  August  28,  1998
(Inception),   to  December  31,  1998.  These  financial   statements  are  the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
ended  December 31, 1999,  and for the period  August 28, 1998  (Inception),  to
December 31, 1998, in conformity with accounting  principles  generally accepted
in the United States.

                                    The accounting and reporting policies of the
                                    Company   conform  to   generally   accepted
                                    accounting     principles    ("GAAP")    and
                                    prevailing  practices  within  the  mortgage

                                    Use of Estimates

                                    The  preparation of financial  statements in
                                    accordance with GAAP requires  management to
                                    make estimates and  assumptions  that affect
                                    the   reported    amount   of   assets   and
                                    liabilities,  the  disclosure  of contingent
                                    assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
                                    financial   statements,   and  the  reported
                                    amounts of revenues and expenses  during the
                                    reporting   period.   Actual  results  could
                                    differ from those estimates.

                                    Loans Held for Investment

                                    Loans  held for  investment  consist  of the
                                    retained interest in loans originated by the
                                    Company, net of deferred income.

                                    Loan Income

                                    Loan   fees   and   certain    direct   loan
                                    origination   costs   related  to   retained
                                    interests are deferred and  recognized  over
                                    the  life  of the  loan  on a  straight-line
                                    basis.

                                    Loan fees  received and certain  direct loan
                                    origination    costs    allocated   to   the
                                    participation  interest sold are  recognized
                                    as  advances  are  made  and  funded  by the
                                    participants.

                                    The Company  receives  two forms of interest
                                    income.  The current portion is accrued into
                                    income  monthly  based  on  the  outstanding
                                    amount  of the  investment  in the loan at a
                                    market rate of  interest.  In  addition,  on
                                    certain loans, the Company is entitled to an

                                    additional  preferred  return  based  on the
                                    outstanding  amount of the investment in the
                                    loan times the rate of preferred return. The
                                    preferred  return is recognized in income as
                                    the borrower  conveys  title to  third-party
                                    purchasers.   At  December  31,  1999,   the
                                    Company  had lending  arrangements  with the
                                    following returns:

                                     Current portion                  10% to 12%
                                     Deferred portion                  3% to 13%

                                    In certain lending arrangements, the Company
                                    is  entitled  to  a   percentage   share  of
                                    underlying  project  profit in  addition  to
                                    loan   fees  and   interest.   The   Company
                                    recognizes   this  income  as  the  borrower
                                    conveys title to third-party purchasers.

                                    routine   replacements,    maintenance   and
                                    repairs are charged to expense. Depreciation
                                    is computed using the  straight-line  method
                                    over  estimated  useful lives ranging from 3
                                    to  5  years.   The  cost  and   accumulated
                                    depreciation   for  property  and  equipment
                                    retired,  sold, or otherwise disposed of are
                                    removed from the accounts, and any resulting
                                    gains or losses are reflected in income.

                                    Income Taxes

                                    The  Company  accounts  for income  taxes in

                                    recognized  for the future tax  consequences
                                    attributable   to   temporary    differences
                                    between  the  financial  statement  carrying
                                    amounts of existing  assets and  liabilities
                                    and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
                                    assets and  liabilities  are measured  using
                                    enacted  tax  rates  expected  to  apply  to
                                    taxable  income in the years in which  those
                                    temporary  differences  are  expected  to be
                                    recovered or settled.

                                    The  Company  has   adopted   Statement   of

                                    changed   the   accounting   treatment   for

                                    financial-component  basis. After a transfer

                                    The   Company   also   sells   participation
                                    interests   in   certain  of  its  loans  as
                                    discussed  in Note 2 above.  The  Company is
                                    exposed   to   credit   risk   under   these
                                    participation  agreements to the extent that
                                    the  participant  fails to perform under the
                                    participation   agreement.   Currently,  the
                                    Company has three participants, all of which
                                    meet the credit requirements of the Company.
                                    Any  future  participants  will be  reviewed
                                    closely by the  Company to ensure  they meet
                                    credit requirements.

                                    The  Company is  required  to fund  advances
                                    under its loan  agreements.  At December 31,
                                    1999,  the  Company  is  committed  to  fund
                                    advances   up  to  a   maximum   amount   of
                                    $33,164,224  under all loan  agreements  for
                                    the  life of the  agreements.  Participation
                                    interests  in  these   commitments   totaled
                                    $22,997,000 at December 31, 1999.

                                    The  aggregate  balance of custodial  escrow
                                    funds  maintained  in  connection  with  the
                                    loans  serviced as of December  31, 1999 and
                                    1998,  was  $0  and  $90,000,  respectively.
                                    These  balances  are  not  included  in  the
                                    accompanying    statement    of    financial
                                    condition.  However,  the  Company  receives
                                    income  reflected  as  other  income  on the
                                    accompanying statement of operations.

                                4.Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

                                    The following  estimated  fair values of the
                                    Company's   financial   instruments   as  of
                                    December 31, 1999 and 1998, are presented in
                                    accordance    with    generally     accepted
                                    accounting  principles,  which  define  fair
                                    value as the  amount  at  which a  financial
                                    instrument  could be  exchanged in a current
                                    transaction  between willing parties,  other
                                    than a forced  or  liquidation  sale.  These
                                    estimated  fair  values,  however,  may  not
                                    represent  the  liquidation   value  or  the
                                    market value of the Company.

                                    The following  methods and assumptions  were
                                    used to estimate the fair values at December
                                    31, 1999 and 1998:

                                    Cash and Cash Equivalents

                                    Carrying amount approximates fair value.

                                    Loans held for investment, net

                                    Carrying amount  approximates  fair value as
                                    all  loans  are at  rates  that  approximate
                                    current lending rates.

Harbourton Financial Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Eleven Months Ended  November 30, 2000


1.   General.  The  consolidated  financial  statements of Harbourton  Financial
     Corporation  ("Harbourton")  included  herein are unaudited for the periods
     ended  November 30, 2000 and 1999;  however,  they reflect all  adjustments
     which,  in the opinion of  management,  are necessary to present fairly the
     results for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures
     normally  included in  financial  statements  prepared in  accordance  with
     generally  accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted.
     Harbourton   believes  that  the  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the
     information  presented not  misleading.  The results of operations  for the
     eleven months ended November 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results of  operations  to be expected for the remainder of the year. It is
     suggested  that  these  consolidated   financial   statements  be  read  in
     conjunction  with the consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto
     included in Harbourton's  audited  financial  statements for the year ended
     December  31,  1999 and for the  Period  August  28,  1998  (inception)  to
     December 31, 1998.

2.   Line of Credit.  On May 11,  2000,  Harbourton  obtained  a senior  secured
     credit  facility  in the  amount of  $2,000,000  from a local  FDIC-insured
     financial institution,. The facility is a revolving line of credit, carries
     an  interest  rate of the prime rate plus a premium,  and  expires  May 11,
     2001. The lender has been granted a collateral  security interest in two of
     Harbourton's  loans having a combined  original  principal  indebtedness of
     $4,320,000,   and  a  general  assignment  of  Harbourton's  right  to  all
     collections from notes. The loan contains  financial  covenants of the type
     generally found in this type of facility. On November 10, 2000 the facility
     was increased to $2,500,000.

3.   Merger Agreement. On October 25, 2000, Harbourton entered into a definitive
     merger  agreement  with  Allstate  Financial  Corporation  ("Allstate"),  a
     company  controlled by  Harbourton's  majority  shareholder.  The agreement
     calls for Allstate to issue approximately 7,516,162 shares of common stock,
     plus make a cash payment of  approximately  $1,900,000,  to purchase all of
     the outstanding common stock of Harbourton.

4.   Subsequent  Event.  On November  30, 2000  Allstate  Financial  Corporation
     purchased  100% of the issued and  outstanding  common stock of  Harbourton
     Financial Corporation, for 7,516,160 shares of Allstate common stock plus a
     cash  payment  of  $2,115,630.  The  transaction  was  accounted  for  as a
     combination of a pooling of interests and a purchase. Harbourton was merged
     into Allstate with Allstate being the surviving company.
