         1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Basis of Presentation

         ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  The results of operations for the three
         month  periods  ended  March  31,  1999 and  1998  are not  necessarily

         including the information under the heading,  "Management's  Discussion
         and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations,"  is

         statements  have read,  or have access to, the  Company's  December 31,
         1998 audited financial statements and notes thereto,  together with the

         2.  LOANS HELD FOR RESALE

         In 1997, the Company in accordance with its loan and security agreement
         took  possession  from a customer in the process of  liquidating  under
         Chapter  7 of the  Bankruptcy  Code,  37  loans  it  funded  having  an
         aggregate value of $4.5 million.  The Company has a perfected  interest
         in the loans and during 1998 sold 32 of the loans at a net  discount of
         $72,070.  One loan in the  amount  of  $132,090  was sold in the  first
         quarter of 1999 for  $125,486.  The four loans unsold at March 31, 1999
         with an  original  loan  amount of  $566,026,  together  with  holdback
         receivables on sold loans of $180,945, are held at net realizable value
         which includes a reserve of $166,978.

         3.  RECEIVABLE FOR LOANS SHIPPED

         During October 1997, the Company  warehoused  $1.7 million in mortgages
         for the same  customer as described  in Note 2 above,  who used a third
         party conduit,  American  Financial Mortgage  Corporation,  to sell its
         loans to an  investor,  Norwest  Funding,  Inc.  The  Company  provided
         instructions to the third party conduit that the funds were to be wired
         by the investor to the Company's bank. The investor mis-wired the funds
         to the conduit's  bank,  Corestates  Bank,  N.A. The conduit's bank has
         refused to return the funds.  The Company is taking actions,  including
         legal  action,  to collect the funds from the  conduit,  the  conduit's
         guarantor,  the investor and the conduit's bank. The Company's  lender,
         Bank One Texas,  N.A.  ("Bank  One"),  has joined the  litigation  as a
         co-plaintiff  in support of the Company's  position.  In addition,  the
         Company  has a $5  million  personal  guarantee  from the  third  party
         conduit's  primary  shareholder and an additional $2 million  guarantee
         from the customer's primary  shareholder.  Although it is impossible to
         assess with accuracy the ultimate outcome of this matter, management is
         confident that it will recover the funds.

         4.  NOTES RECEIVABLE



         On November 18, 1998, as  settlement  was reached with a guarantor of a
         mortgage banking customer's defaulted line of credit. The guarantor was
         also a Company stockholder. Pursuant to the settlement, an entity which
         is an affiliate of Leedan (Note 7) accepted $530,000 of the guarantor's
         recognized debt to the Company in exchange for the  guarantor's  shares
         in the  Company.  This entity paid the Company  $176,667 and issued two
         notes of $176,667 each with  maturity  dates of August 23, 1999 and May
         23, 2000, respectively. Interest is payable quarterly at an annual rate
         of 8.25% commencing
         three months after the November 23, 1998 date of issuance.                                                $   353,334

         Pursuant to the settlement  stated above, the guarantor also issued two
         notes  to  the  Company  in  the  amounts  of  $265,103  and  $470,000,
         respectively.  Interest is payable quarterly at an annual rate of prime
         plus 1/2% commencing three months after the
         November 18, 1998 date of issuance.  Both notes mature November 18, 2000.                                   735,103

         On March 29, 1999, a settlement  was reached with two clients and their
         guarantor  wherein  the  remaining  loans  on each  client's  line  and
         interest  and fees due through  October 31, 1998 were  replaced  with a
         note from each  client  guaranteed  by the  client's  guarantor  in the
         amounts of $453,430 and $204,640, respecitvely, each payable in
         sixteen equal monthly installments plus interest at an annual rate of 10%.                                  658,070

         5.   INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES TO PIONEER HOME FUNDING

         On April 16, 1997 the Company  entered into a joint  venture  agreement
         with  Maryland  Financial  Corporation  (?MFC?)  to form  Pioneer  Home
         Funding,  LLC, a California  Limited Liability  Company,  (?PHF?).  The
         Company  accounts  for  this  investment  on  the  equity  method.  The
         agreement  provides that the Company and MFC would maintain 80% and 20%
         ownership  interests,   respectively,  in  PHF.  An  amendment  to  the
         agreement was made on October 31, 1997.  This  amendment  provides that
         the Company would contribute  $40,000 for a 20 percent interest in PHF.
         In  addition,  the Company may from time to time,  at its option,  make
         loans to PHF as needed. Under this agreement the Company has the option
         to convert  loans made to PHF into an 80%  interest in PHF. As of March
         31,  1999,  the Company  has  advanced  as a loan  receivable  $275,345
         against which the Company has reserved $110,000 as uncollectable.

         of Fidelity First Mortgage Corp.,  NASDAQ (FFIR) for a total investment
         of  $225,000.  FFIR shares  closed on March 31, 1999 at $.50 per share.

limit of $40,000,000  through April 30, 1999. On April 12, 1999, the Company was
notified by the Bank that they  believe the Company will be able to negotiate an
extension of the line of credit  agreement.  In addition,  they indicated that a
six month extension,  if needed, would most probably be granted.  Effective June
30, 1998 Leedan Business Enterprise Ltd. (?Leedan?),  a 49% owner of the Company
entered into a Capital  Maintenance  Agreement with Bank One wherein Leedan will
cause capital  contributions or subordinated debt advances, up to $2 million, to
be made to the Company in order to  maintain an adjusted  Company net worth of a
least $8 million, upon official written request by Bank One. This agreement will
continue in effect  until the Company  has paid its  obligation  to Bank One and
Bank One  terminates  its commitment to supply the Company credit (See also Note
8).

8.   SUBORDINATE DEBT

On November 26, 1997, the Company issued $1,000,000 in subordinated debt as part
of a $4 million private placement.  The private placement provided for a minimum
purchase of $250,000 (1 unit) with each unit obtaining 7,500 Warrants that allow
for the purchase of 7,500 shares.  The exercise  price of the shares is equal to
the  price of the  Company?s  stock as of the date of issue of the  subordinated
debt. The Company has 30,000 Warrants  outstanding (7,500 per unit for 4 units).
The  subordinated  debt carries an interest rate of 10% per annum and matures on
November 25, 2002. The Company?s  stock price on November 26, 1997 was $2.875 On
September  11,  1998 three  subordinated  debt  advances  pursuant to the Leedan
Capital  Maintenance  Agreement  (See  also  Note  7) were  made to the  Company
totaling $726,000 secured by notes. The notes are due when a replacement for the
Bank One lending  facility is in place,  with interest paid quarterly at 11% per
annum.  During the first quarter of 1999,  $100,000 of the subordinate  debt was
repaid.

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

  General


From March of 1997 to October 30, 1998, the Company had a credit  agreement with
Banc One,  Texas,  N.A.  (?Bank One?).  Pursuant to the Credit  Agreement,  most
recently  amended  February 18, 1999, Bank One provided the Company with up to a
$40,000,000  revolving line of credit through April 30, 1999. On April 12, 1999,
the Company was  notified by the Bank that they believe the Company will be able
to negotiate an extension  of the line of credit  agreement.  In addition,  they
indicated that a six month extension, if needed, would most probably be granted.
As  collateral  security  for its  indebtedness  to Bank One  under  the  Credit
Agreement,  the Company  has granted to Bank One a security  interest in various
assets  including,  but not limited  to, all  promissory  notes  acquired by the
Company with  respect to any loans  funded by the Company  with  proceeds of the
Bank One credit line and all mortgages or other forms of collateral securing the
funding of such loans.  In addition,  Leedan Business  Enterprise  Ltd., a 49.2%
shareholder of the Company,  has guaranteed  Bank One, that it will maintain the
Company?s  net worth  (including  subordinated  debt) at a  minimum  level of $8
million, up to an additional investment or loan of $2 million.

Three Month  Period  Ended March 31, 1999  Compared  with the Three Month Period
Ended March 31, 1998.

Revenues.  During the three month period ended March 31, 1999 revenues decreased
from  $2,022,807  for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 to $1,082,772.
The volume of loan fundings  during the three month periods ended March 31, 1999
and 1998 totaled approximately $90 million and $130 million, respectively.  Such
decreases in revenues,  loan funding,  interest and processing  fees were due to
the decrease in loan volume experienced by the Company during the latter period.
The reduction in loan volume was due to the  reduction in the Company's  line of
credit from Bank One and the number and amount of stale  loans in the  Company's
portfolio of loans that take up space on the Company's line of credit but do not
yield processing or interest income.

During the three month period ended March 31, 1999, the Company financed a total
of 1,043 loans totaling  $89,600,679 with a weighted average principal amount of
$85,907 for an average  duration of 42 days per borrowing which amounts included
1,004 loans funded through bank borrowings  aggregating  $87,109,263 in weighted
average principal amounts of $86,762.  During the three month period ended March
31, 1998, the Company financed a total of 2,316 loans totaling $130,772,172 with
a weighted  average  principal  amount of $56,465  for a duration of 33 days per
borrowing  which amounts  included  2,209 loans funded  through bank  borrowings
aggregating $127,096,217 in weighted average principal amounts of $57,536.

Direct  Costs.  During the three  month  periods  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
interest expense and other bank charges accrued on the Company?s  revolving line
of credit  amounted to $828,879 and  $1,184,399,  respectively.  The decrease in
interest expense and bank fees was due to a decrease in the use of the Company's
bank credit facility engendered by the above-described decrease in credit limit.

Other Operating  Expenses.  The Company's  other operating  expenses of $552,839
during the three month period ended March 31, 1999 consisted primarily of salary
and benefits of $255,088; accounting and legal fees of $115,691; rent of $48,259
and depreciation of $48,132. The Company's operating expenses of $518,022 during
the three month period ended March 31, 1998 consisted  primarily of salaries and
benefits  of  $226,865  and legal and  accounting  fees of  $95,762  and rent of
$44,058.

Net Loss Versus Net Income.  During the three month  period ended March 31, 1999
the Company  incurred a net loss of $282,591  primarily  due to the reduction in
volume of  business  and the burden of  non-performing  loans in the  portfolio.
During the three months the Company?s volume of business was reduced as a result
of the  tightening of investor cash available for customer  loans,  particularly
?125?  loans which previously  comprised a substantial  portion of the number of
loans funded by the Company.  125 loans are bill  consolidation  loans with high
loan to value ratios that are more dependant on the  borrower?s  credit than the
underlying real estate value.  Income from operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 of $306,192  resulted  from high volumes of loans,  including 125
loans,  which preceded the funds  shortage that lead to the recent  reduction in
lines of credit, loan volume and the increase in stale loans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
At March 31,  1999,  the  Company  had cash of  $2,266,975,  working  capital of
$3,536,617  and a  current  ratio  of 1.16 to 1. At the  Company's  year  end of
December  31,  1998,  it  reflected  cash  of  $1,503,788,  working  capital  of
$4,057,956 and a current ratio of 1.2 to 1.

Cash Flow.
During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 the Company was able to provide
$763,187  net increase in cash flows,  primarily  as a result of reducing  loans
receivable.  For the three months ended March 31,  1998,  the Company  generated
$263,818 of net cash primarily due to borrowings, issuances of stock.

The Company believes that its cash flows from operations and continuing lines of
credit will be sufficient to meet its  financing  requirements  for at least the
next twelve month period.

Year 2000 Computer Readiness.
The Year 2000 (?Y2K?) issue is the result of computer programs using a two-digit
format,  as opposed to four digits,  to indicate the year. Such computer systems
will be unable to  interpret  dates  beyond the year 1999,  which  could cause a
system failure or other computer  errors,  leading to disruptions in operations.
The  Company  has  two  basic  computer  functions,  accounting  and  collateral
tracking.  Date sensitive calculations such as fees and interest charges and due
dates on loans  comprising the Company?s  warehouse loans receivable and payable
would be negatively  effected if the accounting and collateral  tracking systems
were not compliant  after the end of 1999.  The Company,  with the assistance of
outside software  contractors,  is in the process of changing its accounting and
collateral  tracking  computer systems from  non-compliant  systems run on AS400
hardware to a compliant system run on a Windows NT network. Final implementation
of fully  tested and  operationally  Y2K  compliant  systems is  projected to be
complete  by the end of the second  quarter of 1999.  Cost  incurred to date for
computer system enhancement,  which includes work flow technology and collateral
document  scanning  for  electronic  storage  as  well  as  Y2K  compliance,  is
approximately $385,000 which is included in equipment and software fixed assets.
Additional  cost to complete the project are  expected to be less than  $65,000.
The Company?s banks and lender have communicated that they will be Y2K compliant
by the end of 1999.  No other third party Y2K  compliance  is expected to have a
material impact on the operations of the Company.
