             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

         The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  of North  American
Mortgage Company (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim  financial  information  and  in
accordance  with  instructions  to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of  Regulation  S-X.
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 of the Company,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of
normal recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair  presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the six and three month periods ended June
30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the  year  ended  December  31,  1996.  For  further  information,  refer to the
consolidated  financial  statements and footnotes  thereto included on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Note 2 - Net Income Per Share Information

         Net income per common share is computed  based on the weighted  average
number of shares outstanding during the period. The potential dilutive effect of
common  stock  equivalents  has not been  included  because  that  amount is not
considered to be material. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for
net income per share was  14,292,000  and  15,008,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, and 1995, respectively, and 14,676,000 and 14,999,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

Note 4 - FAS No. 125

         In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
Number 125,  "Accounting  for Transfers  and  Servicing of Financial  Assets and
Extinguishment  of Liabilities"  (FAS No. 125),  which will become  effective on
January 1, 1997. This statement will make the accounting for Originated Mortgage
Servicing  Rights  and  Excess  Servicing  Rights  consistent.  The  Company  is
currently  studying  the  effect  of this  statement,  but does not  expect  the
adoption of the statement to have a material effect on future reported earnings.

Results of Operations.

Quarter Ended June 30, 1996, Compared with Quarter Ended June 30, 1995

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         General  Market  Conditions - During the second  quarter of 1996, U. S.
origination  levels  increased  by 45% over the same period last year,  due to a
higher level of new and existing  home  purchases  and  refinancings  (see table
below).  Although the overall  level of refinance  activity was higher than last
year,  refinancings  steadily  declined,  from  January  through  July of  1996,
primarily  as a result of the rise in  interest  rates  which  began in February
1996. By early August 1996,  however,  interest rates had begun to decline.  For
example, on August 3, 1996, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate was approximately 8%
as compared with a rate of  approximately  8.25% on June 30, 1996. To the extent
interest rates remain at existing levels or move lower,  demand for refinancings
may increase.

     * Sources:  Department  of Housing and Urban  Development  (HUD),  Mortgage
Bankers  Association (MBA),  Federal National Mortgage  Association  (FNMA), and
Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  (FHLMC)  (1996  market  data based on
current estimates).


         Summary of Results - Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $8.7
million or $0.61 per share, a $1.4 million  decrease from the $10.0 million,  or
$0.67 per share,  earned  during the second  quarter of 1995.  The  decrease  in
earnings  occurred,  even though loan originations  increased to $2.5 billion in
the second  quarter of 1996 compared with $1.7 billion in the second  quarter of
1996, for three principal  reasons:  (i) higher  discounts given to borrowers to
meet  escalating  price  competition,  (ii) lower hedge gains due to higher bond
market volatility  during the current quarter,  and (iii) lower gains from sales
of servicing due to a higher Originated  Mortgage  Servicing Rights (OMSR) basis
associated  with servicing sales in 1996.  From an operational  standpoint,  the
Company's  direct  production  unit  costs  (origination  fees less  origination
expenses) were 6% lower in the current  quarter  compared with last year,  while
direct servicing expenses increased slightly from $69 per loan to $71 per loan.

         The  Company's  $2.5  billion  in loan  originations  during the second
quarter of 1996 were 47% higher than the same quarter last year.  This  increase
in origination  volume is reflective of the 45% increase in total U. S. mortgage
originations  for  the  same  period.  Refinancings  represented  32%  of  total
originations  in the  second  quarter  of 1996  compared  with 23% in the second
quarter of 1995.

         Revenues - Revenues for the second  quarter of 1996 were $77.2 million,
a $9.9  million or 15%,  increase  from $67.3  million in the second  quarter of
1995.

         Loan  administration  fees were $11.4 million in the second  quarter of
1996, a 15%  increase,  as compared  with $9.9 million in the second  quarter of
1995.  This  increase  primarily  resulted  from a decline in  amortization  and
impairment of excess  servicing  fees to $641,000  during the second  quarter of
1996 compared with $1.6 million during the second quarter of 1995. This resulted
from changes in mortgage  prepayment  expectations  driven by the general rising
rate environment during the first six months of 1996.

         Loan  origination  fees were $21.1 million during the second quarter of
1996, a 25% increase,  as compared with $16.8 million  during the second quarter
of  1995.  This  increase  resulted  primarily  from  a  47%  increase  in  loan
originations,  partially  offset  by a  decrease  in  average  origination  fees
collected on each loan. The decrease in the average  origination  fees collected
resulted from a higher percentage of wholesale and  telemarketing  production in
the second  quarter of 1996 (63% as  compared  with 57%),  on which the  Company
receives lower average origination fees than it receives on retail loans.

         The gain from  sales of loans  was  $27.1  million  during  the  second
quarter of 1996,  as compared with $20.1  million  during the second  quarter of
1995.  Gain on sales of loans is impacted by three  factors:  hedging  activity,
price subsidies and the recognition of gains related to OMSR under FAS 122.

     (1) Run-off refers to regular dollar amount of the  amortization  of loans,
prepayments and foreclosures. Second quarter of 1996 annualized run-off rate was
15% compared with 9% during the second quarter of 1995.

</TABLE>

     Second quarter hedging results  continued to be negatively  impacted by the
upward turn in interest rates and increased bond market  volatility.  During the
second quarter of 1996, the Company's hedging gains decreased to $2.1 million or
8 basis  points  on loans  originated  during  the  quarter  compared  with $6.6
million,  or 39 basis points on loans  originated  during the second  quarter of
1995.  Included  in the second  quarter  1996  hedging  gains was the benefit of
approximately  $2 million of net pair off gains  recorded in April which related
to March 1996  coverage.  To the extent that interest rates increase or the bond
market  remains  volatile,  the  Company's  future  marketing  results  could be
negatively impacted.

     Pricing subsidies  increased to $8.8 million in the second quarter of 1996,
or an average subsidy of 35 basis points on loans  produced,  compared with $4.9
million  in the  second  quarter  of 1995,  or 29 basis  points.  This  increase
reflects the continuing price  competition for mortgage loans,  particularly for
those loans sourced  through  wholesale  brokers.  OMSR gains increased to $33.9
million during the second quarter of 1996, an increase of $15.4 million, or 84%,
compared with the second quarter of 1995. This increase principally relates to a
58% increase in loans sold during the second quarter of 1996, as well as changes
in product mix and market values that resulted in a higher  capitalization rate.
Interest income,  net of warehouse  interest expense,  increased to $7.1 million
during the second  quarter of 1996,  as compared  with $6.4  million  during the
second  quarter of 1995,  a 12%  increase.  This  increase  resulted  from a 72%
increase in the average balance of loans held for sale,  partially offset by the
Company's  decreased use of its working  capital to reduce  warehouse  borrowing
costs.  Gain from sales of servicing was $8.0 million  during the second quarter
of 1996, as compared with $11.9 million during the second quarter of 1995, a 33%
decrease.  Gain on sales of  servicing  rights  is  affected  by the  volume  of
servicing  rights sold, the proceeds  received and the amount of OMSR and excess
servicing basis associated with each sale.

     * Represents 170 basis points on the principal balance sold in 1996 vs. 209
basis points in 1995.


     The comparatively  lower proceeds in basis points for the second quarter of
1996 relate to differences  in the type of servicing sold (i.e.,  government vs.
conventional)  and the level of excess servicing fees, which resulted in a lower
average  servicing fee in the second  quarter of 1996  compared  with 1995.  The
increased basis on servicing sold resulted from a higher percentage of servicing
sold with OMSR basis during the second quarter of 1996 as compared with 1995.

     Expenses - Expenses for the second  quarter of 1996 were $62.7  million,  a
22% increase, as compared with $51.3 million during the second quarter of 1995.

     Personnel  costs were $38.0  million for the second  quarter of 1996, a 31%
increase,  as compared with $28.9 million for the second  quarter of 1995.  This
increase in personnel expenses from 1995 principally occurred in the residential
loan production area. The increase  reflects the additional  personnel  expenses
that were  required  to  originate  a 47% higher loan  origination  volume.  The
percentage  increase in personnel expenses was less than the percentage increase
in origination  volume in the second quarter of 1996 due to a more efficient use
of production personnel.

     Other  operating  expenses  increased  19% to $18.7  million for the second
quarter of 1996 from $15.7 million for the second quarter of 1995. This increase
reflects the additional operating expenses that were required to originate a 47%
higher origination  volume. The percentage  increase in other operating expenses
during the second quarter of 1996 was less than the percentage  increase in loan
origination volume due to better absorption of fixed overhead.

     Amortization of originated loan servicing  increased to $1.7 million in the
second  quarter of 1996, as compared with $637,000  during the second quarter of
1995.  This increase  related to the increase in the  Originated  Loan Servicing
asset,  which was $84.7  million at June 30, 1996 and $29.3  million at June 30,
1995.
 
<PAGE>

     There was no provision for impairment of originated loan servicing
during the second  quarter of 1996,  as compared  with a $1.7 million  provision
during the second quarter of 1995. This reduction in impairment  expense was due
to the recent  upturn in interest  rates which  resulted in slower than expected
mortgage prepayment speeds.


Six Months Ended June 30, 1996, Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

     Summary - Net income for the first six months of 1996 was $16.1 million, or
$1.10 per share, a $424,000 increase from the $15.7 million, or $1.05 per share,
earned during the first six months of 1995. The 3% increase in earnings relative
to the 75% increase in originations  is primarily  attributable to the following
factors:  (i) higher  discounts  given to  borrowers  to meet  escalating  price
competition,  (ii) lower hedge gains due to higher bond market volatility during
the six months,  and (iii) lower gains from sales of  servicing  due to a higher
OMSR basis associated with servicing sales in 1996.

     The  aggregate  principal  amount  of loan  originations  for the first six
months of 1996 was $4.9 billion,  a 75% increase,  as compared with $2.8 billion
for the  first  six  months  of 1995.  This  increase  in  production  volume is
reflective of the 64% increase in the total U. S. mortgage  originations for the
same period and an increased market share in the purchase segment by the Company
to 1.10%* for the first six months of 1996 as compared with 0.97%* for the first
six months of 1995.

     The following  table  summarizes  the activity in the  Company's  servicing
portfolio for the first six months of 1996:

     (1) Run-off refers to regular dollar amount of the  amortization  of loans,
prepayments and  foreclosures.  For the first six months of 1996, the annualized
run-off rate was 15% compared with 8% for the first six months of 1995.


     Revenues - Revenues  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996,  were $145.7
million,  a $24.7 million,  or 20% increase,  as compared with $121.0 million in
the first six months of 1995.

     Loan  administration fees were $22.3 million during the first six months of
1996, a 5% increase,  as compared  with $21.3 million in the first six months of
1995. This increase occurred in spite of a 1% decline in the average size of the
Company-owned  servicing  portfolio,  because of a $1.5  million  charge for the
impairment of excess servicing rights during the first six months of 1995, which
did not recur during the first six months of 1996,  due to  increasing  interest
rates during the later period.

     Loan  origination  fees were $40.9  million  during the first six months of
1996, a 46% increase, as compared with $28.0 million in the first six months of
1995. This increase resulted primarily from a 75% increase in loan originations,
partially offset by a decrease in the average origination fees collected on each
loan. The decrease in the average  origination  fees  collected  resulted from a
higher  percentage  of wholesale and  telemarketing  production in the first six
months of 1996 (65% as compared with 58%), on which the Company  receives  lower
average origination fees than it receives on retail loans.

     The gain from sales of loans was $49.0  million for the first six months of
1996, as compared with $31.0 million  during the first six months of 1995.  Gain
on sales of  loans  is  impacted  by  three  factors:  hedging  activity,  price
subsidies and the recognition of gains related to OMSR under FAS 122.

1995 follows:

</TABLE>

     During  the  first six  months of 1996,  hedging  results  were  negatively
impacted  by the  upward  turn in  interest  rates  and  increased  bond  market
volatility.  To the extent that interest  rates continue to increase or the bond
market  remains  volatile,   the  Company's  future  marketing  results  may  be
negatively affected.

     Pricing subsidies increased to $17.7 million during the first six months of
1996, or an average subsidy of 36 basis points on loans produced,  compared with
$8.2 million in the first six months of 1995, or 29 basis points.  This increase
reflects the continuing price competition within the industry,  particularly for
loans sourced through wholesale brokers.

     OMSR gains  increased to $67.0 million during the first six months of 1996,
an increase of $37.7  million,  or 129%,  compared  with the first six months of
1995. This increase was due to a 78% increase in loans sold during the first six
months of 1996,  and the fact that nearly 20% of loans sold during the first six
months of 1995 were originated in 1994, prior to the  implementation  of FAS No.
122, and accordingly did not reflect the additional gain for the  capitalization
of the OMSRs.

<PAGE>

     Interest income,  net of warehouse  interest  expense,  increased by 10% to
$13.6  million  during  the first six  months of 1996,  as  compared  with $12.4
million during the first six months of 1995.  This increase  resulted from a 54%
increase in the average  balance of loans held for sale,  partially  offset by a
decrease  in  working  capital  used by the  Company  to  reduce  its  warehouse
borrowing  costs.  This reduction in working capital  available to finance loans
held for sale relates  primarily to the repayment of $35.3 million in debt since
late March 1995 and $20.9  million used to  repurchase  Company stock during the
first six months of 1996.

     Gain from sales of servicing was $15.5 million  during the first six months
of 1996, as compared  with $24.5 million  during the first six months of 1995, a
37% decrease.  In the first six months of 1996, the Company sold $4.1 billion of
servicing  rights at an average price of 176 basis points for total  proceeds of
$72.9  million.  This compares with $2.5 billion sold in the first six months of
1995 at an  average  price of 160  basis  points  for  total  proceeds  of $40.2
million.  The related gain on sales of servicing  decreased,  however,  due to a
higher level of OMSR and excess  servicing  basis  associated  with sales ($57.4
million for the first six months of 1996, as compared with $15.7 million for the
first six months of 1995).

     Expenses - Expenses for the first six months of 1996 were $118.8
million,  a 23% increase,  as compared  with $96.4 million  during the first six
months of 1995.

     Personnel  expenses  were $73.6 million for the first six months of 1996, a
34%  increase,  as compared with $54.9 million for the first six months of 1995.
This  increase  in  personnel  expenses  from  1995  primarily  occurred  in the
residential loan production area. The increase reflects the additional personnel
expenses that were required to produce a 75% higher loan origination volume. The
percentage  increase in personnel expenses was less than the percentage increase
in  origination  volume in the first six months of 1996 due to a more  efficient
use of production personnel.

     Other operating  expenses  increased 17% to $35.0 million for the first six
months of 1996, as compared with $30.0 million for the first six months of 1995.
This  increase  reflects  additional  operating  expenses  that were required to
originate a 75% higher  origination  volume.  The  percentage  increase in other
operating  expenses  during  the  first  six  months  of 1996 was less  than the
percentage  increase in loan production volume due to better absorption of fixed
overhead.

     Amortization of originated loan servicing  increased to $3.5 million during
the first six months of 1996,  as compared  with  $752,000  during the first six
months of 1995. This increase related to the  implementation  of FAS No. 122 and
the increase in the Originated Loan Servicing asset,  which was $56.4 million at
December 31, 1995, but which had no book value prior to 1995.

Provision for (recovery of)  impairment of originated  loan servicing was a $2.1
million  recovery  in the first  six  months of 1996,  as  compared  with a $2.0
million impairment  provision during the first six months of 1995. This recovery
was caused by  increasing  interest  rates  during the first six months of 1996,
which slowed expected  mortgage  prepayment  rates on loans the Company services
and, as a result, increased the expected life and value of the servicing asset.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The  Company's  primary  financing  requirements  are the  financing of its
warehouse  loan  fundings  and  the  ongoing  net  cost  of the  Company's  loan
originations.  The Company's future cash flow requirements will depend primarily
on the  level of its  loan  originations  and the cash  flow  generated  by,  or

<PAGE>

required by, its operations.  The Company expects that loan  origination  volume
will be financed through  warehouse  borrowings,  borrowings  under a commercial
paper  program, through the use of "gestation" facilities and with corporate
funds.

     The Company  finances its  warehouse  loan funding  requirements  primarily
through a bank  warehouse  line of  credit  and  through  its  commercial  paper
program.  This  financing  requirement  begins at the time of loan  closing  and
extends for an average of  approximately 30 days until the loan is sold into the
secondary  market. On January 23, 1996, the Company entered into a new warehouse
line of credit facility  totaling $1.21 billion.  This line of credit expires on
January  23,  1999.  Effective  August 7, 1996,  the  commitment  amount for the
warehouse line of credit facility was reduced, at the Company's request, to $1.0
billion.

     The Company also has a commercial paper borrowing program. Borrowings under
this $500 million program replace, at a reduced interest rate,  borrowings under
the Company's warehouse line of credit. The warehouse line of credit acts as the
liquidity  backup facility for the commercial paper  borrowings.  In addition to
the warehouse line of credit and commercial paper borrowings,  the Company makes
use of gestation facilities provided by an investment bank, FNMA and FHLMC.

     During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company sold a combined $100 million
of two,  three,  five,  and seven year medium term notes.  The proceeds from the
sale of these notes are being used for general corporate purposes, which include
the  replacement  of  indebtedness,  financing loan  origination  volume and the
expansion of loan origination  capacity. At June 30, 1996, $75 million of medium
term notes were  outstanding,  of which $25.0  million will mature in the fourth
quarter of 1996. The Company intends to issue $25.0 million of medium term notes
in the near future.

     The Company has paid  quarterly  common stock  dividends  since the initial
public offering on July 15, 1992. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company
paid  dividends  of $.06 per  share  totaling  $845,312  for  14,088,535  shares
outstanding  on May 20, 1996.  This compares with  dividends  paid in the second
quarter  of 1995 of $.06 per  share  totaling  $899,659  for  14,994,311  shares
outstanding on May 15, 1995.

     On February 7, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up
to 1.5 million shares of common stock.  During the first and second  quarters of
1996, the Company  repurchased 329,900 and 812,500 shares with an aggregate cost
of $6.8  million  and $14.1  million,  respectively.  As of June 30,  1996,  the
Company  held  2,282,916  shares in  treasury  stock  which were  acquired at an
aggregate cost of $40.0 million, of which 1,140,516 shares were acquired under a
prior Board authorization.

     The Company's net cost of its owned  servicing  rights is financed  through
cash flow from its operations, including the sale of servicing rights.

     During the first six months of 1996 and 1995, the Company  generated  $17.6
million and $21.2 million, respectively, of excess servicing fees as a result of
loan sale transactions. In general, the Company creates excess servicing because
the  secondary  market  price  offered for  servicing  assets was lower than the
economic  value or the amount the  Company  could  receive by  accumulating  the
assets  and  selling  them as part of a bulk sale at a later  date.  During  the
Company's  holding period of the excess  servicing fee asset,  the Company is at
risk that the asset will  decline  in value and a write  down will be  required,
primarily due to faster prepayment  speeds or such  expectations  resulting from
lower interest rates, which would encourage  borrowers to refinance the mortgage
loans being serviced.  The carrying amount of excess  servicing rights was $17.2
million and $20.6 million at June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, respectively.

     During  the  first  six  months of 1996 and  1995,  the  Company  purchased
property and equipment totaling $4.1 million and $848 thousand, respectively.

  Item 1.      Legal Proceedings.

               The Company is a defendant in certain  litigation  arising in the
               normal course of its business.  Although the ultimate  outcome of
               all pending  litigation  cannot be precisely  determined  at this
               time, the Company believes that any liability  resulting from the
               aggregate  amount of damages for outstanding  lawsuits and claims
               will  not  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  its  financial
               position.

  Item 2.      Changes in Securities.

               meeting  be  limited  to  matters  properly  brought  before  the
               meeting. To be properly brought before the meeting, business must
               be (a)  specified  in the  notice of meeting  (or any  supplement
               thereto)  given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors,

stockholder, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual
election and until their  successors are duly elected and  qualified.  A vacancy
created by the  removal of a director by the  stockholders  may be filled by the
stockholders. (Adopted 3/31/92).

be held at such time and place as shall be  announced  at the annual  meeting of

shall be present, or in the event such meeting is not held at the time and place

     SECTION 6.  Attendance  of a director at any  meeting  shall  constitute  a
waiver  of notice of such  meeting,  except  where a  director  attends  for the

meeting  is  now  lawfully  called  or  convened.  Neither  the  business  to be
transacted  at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special  meeting of the Board
of  Directors  need be  specified  in the  notice  or  waiver  of notice of such
meeting. (Adopted 3/31/92).

shall  be  the  act  of the  Board  of  Directors,  except  as may be  otherwise
specifically  provided by statute or by the Certificate of  Incorporation  or by
these  By-Laws.  If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of
Directors,  the  directors  present may  adjourn the meeting  from time to time,

by the Board of  Directors  for  election  as a  director  shall  furnish to the
Secretary  of the  Corporation  that  information  required to be set forth in a
stockholder's  notice of  nomination  which  pertains to the nominee.  No person
shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated

of the  stockholders  of the  Corporation  unless written notice is given of (i)
such proposed repeal or the substance of such proposed amendment,  (ii) the name
and address of the  stockholder who intends to propose such repeal or amendment,
