                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1998


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation:

     The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction
     with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Resource
     Bancshares Mortgage Group, Inc. (the Company), included in the Company's
     December 31, 1997, Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain financial
     information, which is normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is not required
     for interim financial statements and has been omitted. The accompanying
     interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However, in the
     opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal
     recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of operating results for
     the periods shown have been made. Certain prior period amounts have been
     reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

     In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS No.
     128), which is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
     after December 15, 1997 and has retroactively restated to report its
     earnings per share on a comparable basis for all periods presented. 

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
     Income", which requires that changes in the amounts of comprehensive income
     items, currently reported as separate components of equity, be shown in a
     financial statement, displayed as prominently as other financial
     statements. The most common components of other comprehensive income
     include foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability
     adjustments and/or unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale
     securities. SFAS No. 130 does not require a specific format for the new
     statement, but does require that an amount representing total comprehensive
     income be reported. SFAS No. 130 is required to be adopted for fiscal years
     beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 for
     the full-year 1998.

          In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
     Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which establishes new
     standards for business segment reporting. Requirements of SFAS No. 131
     include reporting of (a) financial and descriptive information about
     reportable operating segments, (b) a measure of segment profit or loss,
     certain specific revenue and expense items and segment assets with
     reconciliations of such amounts to the Company's financial statements and
     (c) information regarding revenues derived from the Company's products and
     services, information about major customers and information related to
     geographic areas. SFAS No 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
     December 15, 1997. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 131 for the
     full-year 1998.

          In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
     No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement
     Benefits" which revises employers' disclosures about pension and other
     postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or
     recognition of those plans. The statement is effective for fiscal years
     beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 132
     for the full-year 1998.

</TABLE>

     Initially, the Company was exclusively focused on purchasing
agency-eligible mortgage loans through its correspondents. In order to diversify
its sources of loan volume, the Company started a wholesale operation in 1994, a
retail operation in 1995 and a subprime division in 1997. Management anticipates
that its higher margin wholesale and subprime production will continue to
account for an increasing percentage of total mortgage loan production as those
divisions are expanded more rapidly than the correspondent operations. In
general, management has targeted as a near-term goal a production mix of
approximately 70% correspondent, 25% wholesale and 5% subprime. In order to
further diversify its sources of production and revenue, in December 1997, the
Company acquired Resource Bancshares Corporation (RBC), through which the
Company originates small ticket commercial equipment leases and commercial
mortgage loans. These two new sources of production accounted for 5% of the
Company's total first quarter 1998 production.

     The Company's total agency-eligible residential mortgage production
increased by 80% for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter
of 1997. The Company's estimated share of the U.S. 1-4 family mortgage
originations remained essentially constant for these periods and the Company
remained among the nation's top 15 mortgage originators for the first 


<PAGE>   10

quarter of 1998. The Company's 80% agency-eligible loan production increase
directly correlates with the nationwide 80% increase in 1-4 family mortgage
originations for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of
1997.

Correspondent Loan Production

     The Company purchases closed mortgage loans through its network of approved
correspondent lenders. Correspondents are primarily mortgage lenders, larger
mortgage brokers and smaller savings and loan associations and commercial banks,
which have met the Company's approval requirements.

     The Company continues to emphasize correspondent loan production as its
basic business focus because of the lower fixed expenses and capital investment
required of the Company. That is, the Company has developed a cost structure
that is more directly variable with loan production because the correspondent
incurs most of the fixed costs of operating and maintaining branch offices and
of identifying and interacting directly with loan applicants.

residential loan production activities is set forth below:

     The Company's correspondent market share remained constant at 0.93% for the
first quarters of 1998 and 1997, while the Company's total correspondent loan
production increased by 80%. The increase in correspondent loan production is
primarily a factor of the 80% nationwide increase in mortgage loan production.
The number of approved correspondent lenders at the end of the first quarter of
1998 remained constant with that of the first quarter of 1997 as the Company
focused on maintenance of those correspondent relationships most compatible with
the Company's overall business strategies while continuing a disciplined and
measured expansion through establishment of new correspondent relationships.

Wholesale Loan Production

     In May 1994, the Company began its expansion into the wholesale mortgage
banking business. In connection therewith, the Company receives loan
applications through brokers, underwrites the loans, funds the loans at closing
and prepares all closing documentation. The wholesale branches also handle all
shipping and follow-up procedures on loans. Typically mortgage brokers are
responsible for taking applications and accumulating the information precedent
to the Company's processing of the loans. Although the establishment of
wholesale branch offices involves the incurrence of fixed expenses associated
with maintaining those offices, wholesale operations also provide for higher
profit margins than correspondent loan 


<PAGE>   11

production. Additionally, each branch office can serve a relatively sizable
geographic area by establishing relationships with large numbers of independent
mortgage loan brokers who bear much of the cost of identifying and interacting
directly with loan applicants.

activities is set forth below:

     The 89% ($346 million) increase in wholesale loan production, from $388.9
million for the first quarter of 1997 to $734.9 million during the first quarter
of 1998, resulted from the 80% nationwide increase in loan production and the
Company's addition of two new wholesale branches between the first quarter of
1997 and the first quarter of 1998. The increase in operating expenses for the
wholesale division was primarily a result of the increased production. Wholesale
division operating expenses as a percentage of production decreased 10% from 57
basis points in the first quarter of 1997 to 52 basis points in the first
quarter of 1998.

     Strategically, management anticipates focusing in the near-term on
significantly expanding its wholesale presence nationwide due to the relatively
higher margins attributable to this channel. Management anticipates that the
wholesale division will continue to account for an increasing percentage of the
Company's total loan production.

Retail Loan Production

     During late 1997, the Company began reviewing the compatibility of the
retail operation with its primary business focus. On March 11, 1998, the Company
signed a definitive agreement with CFS Bank under which the Company sold the
retail production franchise of Intercounty Mortgage, Inc. to CFS Bank effective
May 1, 1998. Historically, the Company has focused on accumulation of loan
production through third-party correspondent and wholesale broker channels
because of the relatively lower fixed expenses and capital investments required,
among other reasons. Management believes the sale of the retail operation will
allow the Company to refocus on its core competency as a correspondent and
wholesale mortgage lender.

activities is set forth below:

     Retail loan production increased 47% for the first quarter of 1998 as
compared to the first quarter of 1997. Retail division operating expenses as a
percentage of production decreased from 320 basis points for the first quarter
of 1997 to 209 basis points for the first quarter of 1998.

Subprime Loan Production

     During the past several years the Company has diversified its sources of
agency-eligible loan production through de novo expansions into wholesale and
retail operations. In 1997, this basic business strategy was supplemented by
further diversification across markets through the Company's initial expansion
into subprime lending activities. In connection therewith, the Company acquired
Meritage Mortgage Corporation (Meritage), a wholesale producer of subprime
mortgage loans, in April 1997. The Company's subprime division produced $110
million during the first quarter of 1998 or 3% of the Company's total first
quarter 1998 residential mortgage loan production volume.

     Management anticipates significant expansion of its subprime division in
1998 as subprime branches opened or acquired in 1997 reach full year production
levels, as additional wholesale subprime branches are opened and as subprime
operations are introduced and made available through the Company's existing 15
branch agency-eligible wholesale network, and in the future, as products are
introduced through the Company's existing nationwide correspondent production
channel.

     Subprime loan production increased by 134% to $110 million for the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to $47 million during the first quarter of 1997.
During the first quarter of 1997, the 


<PAGE>   13

Company's subprime division was in its startup stage and substantially all of
the production for that quarter was purchased in bulk from Meritage prior to the
Company's acquisition of Meritage.

Commercial Mortgage Production

     In connection with its acquisition of RBC on December 31, 1997, the Company
acquired RBC's subsidiary, Laureate Realty. Laureate Realty originates
commercial mortgage loans for various insurance companies and other investors.
Commercial mortgage loans are generally originated in the name of the investor
and, in most instances, Laureate Realty retains the right to service the loans
under a servicing agreement.

AGENCY-ELIGIBLE MORTGAGE SERVICING

     Agency-eligible mortgage servicing includes collecting and remitting
mortgage loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, holding escrow
funds for payment of mortgage-related expenses such as taxes and insurance,
making advances to cover delinquent payments, making inspections as required of
the mortgaged premises, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising
foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults and
generally administering mortgage loans.

     The Company is somewhat unique in that its strategy is to sell
substantially all of its produced agency-eligible mortgage servicing rights to
other approved servicers. In that regard, the Company believes it is the largest
national supplier of agency-eligible servicing rights to the still-consolidating
mega-servicers. Typically, the Company sells its agency-eligible mortgage
servicing rights within 90 to 180 days of purchase or origination. However, for
strategic reasons, the Company also strives to maintain a servicing portfolio
whose size is determined by reference to the Company's cash operating costs
which, in turn, are largely determined by the size of its loan production
platform. By continuing to focus on the low-cost correspondent and wholesale
production channels, the Company is able to minimize the cash operating costs of
its loan production platform and thus the strategically required size of its
agency-eligible loan servicing operation.

</TABLE>

The Company's coverage ratio for the first quarter of 1998 at 30% was lower than
the Company's target level of between 50% and 80%. The Company's expansion into
the relatively high cost subprime production channel and diversification into
the commercial mortgage and small ticket equipment leasing businesses, together
with normal inflationary pressures on costs, have combined to increase cash
operating costs at a 84% pace for the first quarter of 1998 over that for the
first quarter of 1997. Although the servicing portfolio and servicing fees have
increased during the same period, such increases have not kept pace with the
pace of growth in cash operating expenses. Strategically, and in the opinion of
the Company's management, market prices for servicing rights have been
attractive throughout this period. Accordingly, management has consciously
determined on a risk versus return basis to allow this ratio to move below its
stated goals. Opportunistically and as market conditions permit, management
would expect to bring this ratio back in-line with the stated objective.
Effective May 1, 1998, the Company sold its retail production franchise, which
accounted for $3,919 of the Company's cash operating expenses for the first
quarter of 1998. Without retail division operating expenses for the first
quarter of 1998, the Company's coverage ratio would have been 34%.

</TABLE>

* These numbers and statistics apply to the Company's owned agency-eligible 
  servicing portfolio and therefore exclude the subservicing portfolio.

     The $1.5 billion, or 16%, increase in the average underlying unpaid
principal balance of agency-eligible mortgage loans being serviced for the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997 is primarily related to
the Company's increased loan production volumes during the latter half of 1997
and the first quarter of 1998 compared to the same periods of the prior years.
Since the Company generally sells servicing rights related to the
agency-eligible loans it produces within 90 to 180 days of purchase or
origination, increased production volumes generally result in a higher volume of
mortgage servicing rights held in inventory pending sale.

Summary

     The production revenue to pool delivery ratio declined two basis points, or
2%, for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997.
Generally, net gain on sale of mortgage loans (97 basis points for 1998 versus
84 basis points for 1997) improved due to better overall execution into the
secondary markets. However, net interest income (5 basis points for 1998 versus
18 basis points for 1997) declined and offset this improvement due to the
relatively flatter yield curve environment. The production expenses to
production ratio decreased 15 basis points, or 19%, for the first quarter of
1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997. Generally, this relates to better
leverage of fixed operating expenses in the higher volume production environment
for the first quarter of 1998 versus the comparable period of 1997. As a 
consequence of the foregoing, the Company's net agency-eligible pre-tax 
production margin improved 13 basis points, or 48%, to 40 basis points while in 
absolute dollars it increased $5.7 million, or 123%.

</TABLE>

     Net interest income from agency-eligible product decreased 54% to $1.7
million for the first quarter of 1998 compared to $3.7 million for the first
quarter of 1997. The 128 basis point decrease in the interest-rate spread was
primarily the result of the narrower spreads between long and short-term rates
in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1997. The
Company's mortgages and mortgage-backed securities are generally sold and
replaced within 30 to 35 days. Accordingly, the Company generally borrows at
rates based upon short-term indices, while its asset yields are primarily based
upon long-term mortgage rates.

</TABLE>

     The Company sold agency-eligible loans during the first quarter of 1998
with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $3.4 billion compared to sales of
$2.0 billion for the first quarter of 1997. The amount of proceeds received on
sales of mortgage loans exceeded the initial unadjusted acquisition cost of the
loans sold by $1.4 million (4 basis points) for the first quarter of 1998 as
compared to $1.8 million (9 basis points) for the comparable period of the prior
year. The Company received loan origination and correspondent program
administrative fees of $9.0 million (27 basis points) on these loans during the
first quarter of 1998 and $6.5 million (32 basis points) during the first
quarter of 1997. The Company allocated $20.6 million (61 basis points) to basis
in mortgage servicing rights for loans sold in the first quarter of 1998 as
compared to $8.5 million (42 basis points) during the first quarter of 1997 in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities". Overall, the increase is attributed to better execution into
the secondary markets. Consequently, net gain on sale of agency-eligible
mortgage loans increased to $32.2 million for the first quarter of 1998 versus
$17.0 million for the first quarter of 1997.

Summary

     During the first quarter of 1998, the Company produced $109.6 million of
subprime loans. The Company sold approximately $61.5 million (71%) of its first
quarter 1998 production in whole loan transactions and delivered $25.2 million
into the secondary markets through securitization transactions. Overall, the
Company operated during the first quarter of 1998 at a 4.91% pre-tax subprime 
production margin. At March 31, 1998, the Company had unsold subprime mortgage
loans of $63.5 million. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company's subprime
division was in its initial startup phase and substantially all of the

</TABLE>


     Residual certificates arising from subprime securitizations are classified
as trading securities (as defined in SFAS No. 115), and changes in the fair
value of such certificates are recorded as adjustments to income in the period
of change. The Company assesses the fair value of the residual certificates
quarterly, based on an independent third party valuation. This valuation is
based on the discounted cash flows expected to be available to the holder of the
residual certificate. Significant assumptions used for purposes of the March 31,
1998 valuation are set forth below:


Discount Rate                                           13.00%
Prepayment Speeds
  Fixed rate mortgages                4.8% to 28% constant prepayment rate
  Adjustable rate mortgages           4.8% to 32% constant prepayment rate

Ramp to Full Prepayment Speeds        Ramping period based on prepayment penalty
                                      period and adjustable rate mortgage first
                                      reset dates.
Constant Default Rate                                      3%
Loss Severity                                             25%


<PAGE>   23

     The assumptions above are estimated based on current conditions for similar
instruments that are subject to prepayment and credit risks. Other factors
evaluated in the determination of fair value include credit and collateral
quality of the underlying loans, current economic conditions and various fees
and costs (such as prepayment penalties) associated with ownership of the
residual certificate. Although the Company believes that the fair values of its
residual certificates are reasonable given current market conditions, the
assumptions used are estimates and actual experience may vary from these
estimates. Difference in the actual prepayment speed and loss experience from
the assumptions used, could have a significant effect on the fair value of the
residual certificates.

     The Company also sold subprime mortgage loans on a whole loan basis during
the first quarter of 1998. Whole loans are generally sold without recourse to
third parties with the gain or loss being calculated based on the difference
between the carrying value of the loans sold and the gross proceeds received
from the purchaser. No interest in these loans is retained by the Company.

     A reconciliation of the gain on subprime mortgage whole loan sales for the
periods indicated follows:

</TABLE>

     As discussed above, during the first quarter of 1998 the Company sold
approximately $14.4 million of second mortgage loans and $47.1 million of first
mortgage subprime loan product into the whole loan market for a cash price of
105.60. The characteristics of the underlying first mortgage loans were
substantially similar to the collateral included in the 1997-1 and 1997-2
securitizations, except in that the collateral yield was 9.55% (versus a 10.11%
yield for the securitized product). Had the Company elected to securitize this
product into a structure similar to its 1997 securitizations, the expected
excess yield would have approximated 3.10% (9.55% collateral yield minus 0.69%
estimated securitization cost minus 5.76% estimated bond equivalent cost). This
implies that similar collateral is valued at 1.81 times the excess yield in
the whole loan market (the 5.60 premium over par divided by the 3.10 expected
excess yield). As summarized in the following analysis, the recorded residual
values imply that the Company's 1997 securitizations are valued at 1.80 times
the implied excess yield as compared to the 1.81 multiple implied for the cash
market.

</TABLE>

Summary

     The ratio of net pre-tax servicing margin to the average servicing
portfolio declined six basis points primarily due to relatively larger increases
in amortization and general and administrative expenses. The increased
amortization expense is attributable to generally higher levels of mortgage
servicing rights held for sale which are carried at a higher basis than older
available-for-sale mortgage servicing rights and thus require a relatively
higher periodic amortization charge. 

     Overall, the servicing division contributed $1.1 million to first quarter
1998 pre-tax net income, a $1.9 million, or 64%, decrease from the $3.0 million
contribution for the first quarter of 1997.


<PAGE>   25

     Loan servicing fees were $8.1 million for the first quarter of 1998,
compared to $7.5 million for the first quarter of 1997, an increase of 8%. This
increase is primarily related to an increase in the average aggregate underlying
unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced to $7.8 billion during the
first quarter of 1998 from $7.1 billion during the first quarter of 1997, an
increase of 10%. Similarly, amortization of mortgage servicing rights also
increased to $5.3 million during the first quarter of 1998 from $4.1 million
during the first quarter of 1997, an increase of 29%. The increase in
amortization is primarily attributable to the growth in the average balance of
the mortgage loans serviced and the higher basis in the servicing rights. As a
result, net servicing margin decreased 18% to $2.8 million during the first
quarter of 1998, from $3.4 million during the first quarter of 1997.

     Included in loan servicing fees for the first quarters of 1998 and 1997 are
subservicing fees received by the Company of $268 thousand and $148 thousand,
respectively. The subservicing fees are associated with temporary subservicing
agreements between the Company and purchasers of mortgage servicing rights.

     During the first quarter of 1998, the Company completed six sales of
mortgage servicing rights representing $2.5 billion of underlying unpaid
principal mortgage loan balances. This compares to eight sales of mortgage
servicing rights representing $1.7 billion of underlying unpaid principal
mortgage loan balances in the first quarter of 1997. The unadjusted gain on the
sale of mortgage servicing rights was $13.3 million (53 basis points) for the
first quarter of 1998, up from $10.4 million (61 basis points) for the first
quarter of 1997. The Company reduced this unadjusted gain by $12.7 million in
the first quarter of 1998, versus an $8.9 million reduction during the first
quarter of 1997, in accordance with SFAS No. 125.

     Laureate Realty originates commercial mortgage loans for various insurance
companies and other investors, primarily in Alabama, Florida, Indiana, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Substantially all loans
originated by Laureate Realty have been originated in the name of the investor,
and in most cases, Laureate Realty has retained the right to service the loans
under a servicing agreement with the investor. Most commercial mortgage loan
servicing agreements are short-term, and retention of the servicing contract is
dependent on maintaining the investor relationship.

     Substantially all of the Company's lease receivables are acquired from
independent brokers who operate throughout the continental United States and
referrals from independent banks. At March 31, 1998 the Company's managed lease
servicing portfolio was $120.2 million. Of this managed lease portfolio, $56.2
million was owned and $64.0 million was serviced for investors. The negative
net pre-tax leasing margin is primarily attributable to the size of the
Company's owned leasing portfolio. As this owned leasing portfolio is expanded,
the net pre-tax leasing margin can be expected to improve.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income for the first quarter of 1998 was $0.9 million. This is
an annualized net interest margin of 7.17% based upon average lease receivables
owned of $52.8 million and average debt outstanding of $29.9 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    During the first quarter of 1998, the Company experienced a 38%
increase in total production originated and acquired compared to the fourth
quarter of 1997, from $3.0 billion during the fourth quarter of 1997 to $4.1
billion during the first quarter of 1998. Agency-eligible mortgage loan
production increased to $3.8 billion during the first quarter of 1998 from $2.9
billion during the fourth quarter of 1997. The March 31, 1998, locked mortgage
application pipeline (mortgage loans not yet closed but for which the interest
rate has been locked) was approximately $1.5 billion and the application
pipeline (mortgage loans for which the interest rate has not yet been locked)
was approximately $0.7 billion.

    Residential mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities
totaled $1.6 billion at March 31, 1998, versus $1.2 billion at December 31,
1997, an increase of 39%. The Company's servicing portfolio (exclusive of loans
under subservicing agreements) increased to $8.0 billion at March 31, 1998, from
$7.1 billion at December 31, 1997, an increase of 12%.

    Short-term borrowings, which are the Company's primary source of funds,
totaled $1.7 billion at March 31, 1998, compared to $1.2 million at December 31,
1997, an increase of 37%. The increase in the balance outstanding at March 31,
1998, resulted from increased funding requirements related to the increase in
the balance of mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities. At
March 31, 1998, there were $6.4 million in long-term borrowings, compared to
$6.5 million at December 31, 1997.

    Other liabilities totaled $124.7 million as of March 31, 1998, compared to
the December 31, 1997, balance of $86.6 million, an increase of $38.1 million,
or 44%. The increase in other liabilities resulted primarily from an increase in
the volume of loans acquired through certain correspondent funding programs of
the Company.

    The Company continues to face the same challenges as other companies within
the mortgage banking industry and as such is not immune from significant volume
declines precipitated by a rise in interest rates or other factors beyond the
Company's control. Management of the Company recognizes these challenges and
continues to manage the Company accordingly.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's primary cash-flow requirement involves the funding of loan
production, which is met primarily through external borrowings. The Company has
entered into a 364-day, $670 million warehouse line of credit provided by a
syndicate of unaffiliated banks that expires in July 1998. The credit agreement
includes covenants requiring the Company to maintain (i) a minimum net worth of
$130 million, plus net income subsequent to July 31, 1996, and capital
contributions and minus permitted dividends, (ii) a ratio of total liabilities
to net worth of not more than 8.0 to 1.0, excluding debt incurred pursuant to
gestation and repurchase financing agreements, (iii) its eligibility as a
servicer of Ginnie Mae, FHA, VA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage loans and
(iv) a mortgage servicing rights portfolio with an underlying unpaid 


<PAGE>   30

principal balance of at least $4 billion. The provisions of the agreement also
restrict the Company's ability (i) to pay dividends in any fiscal quarter which
exceed 50% of the Company's net income for the quarter or (ii) to engage
significantly in any type of business unrelated to the mortgage banking business
and the servicing of mortgage loans.

    Additionally, the Company entered into a $200 million, 364-day term
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of unaffiliated banks. An $80 million
portion of the revolver facility converts on July 29, 1998, into a four-year
term loan. The facility is secured by the Company's servicing portfolio
designated as "available-for-sale". A $70 million portion of the revolver
facility matures on July 29, 1998, and is secured by the Company's servicing
portfolio designated as "held-for-sale". A $50 million portion of the revolver
facility matures on July 29, 1998, and is secured by a first-priority security
interest in receivables on servicing rights sold. The facility includes
covenants identical to those described above with respect to the warehouse line
of credit.

    The Company has also entered into a $200 million, 364-day term subprime
revolving credit facility, which expires in July 1998. The facility includes
covenants identical to those described above with respect to the warehouse line
of credit.

    The Company was in compliance with the above-mentioned debt covenants at
March 31, 1998. Although management anticipates continued compliance, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with the debt covenants
specified for each of these financing agreements. Failure to comply could result
in the loss of the related financing.

    The Company has also entered into an uncommitted gestation financing
arrangement. The interest rate on funds borrowed pursuant to the gestation line
is based on a spread over the Federal Funds rate. The gestation line has a
funding limit of $1.2 billion.

    The Company entered into a $6.6 million note agreement in May 1997. This
debt is secured by the Company's corporate headquarters. The terms of the
agreement require the Company to make 120 equal monthly principal and interest
payments based upon a fixed interest rate of 8.07%. The note contains covenants
similar to those described above.

    RBC has a 364-day $50 million revolving credit facility to provide financing
for its leasing portfolio. The warehouse credit agreement matures on June 30,
1998 and contains various covenants regarding characteristics of the collateral
and the performance of the leases originated and serviced by RBC and which
restrict RBC's ability to incur debt, encumber assets, other than as collateral
for the facility, sell assets, merge, declare or pay any dividends or change its
corporate by-laws or certificate of incorporation.

    The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be
adversely impacted by Year 2000 software failures. Software failures due to
processing errors potentially arising from calculations using the Year 2000 date
are a known risk. The Company is addressing this risk to the availability and
integrity of financial systems and the reliability of operational systems. For
reasons independent from the Year 2000 issue, the Company had already undertaken
an initiative 


<PAGE>   31

to replace significant portions of its enterprise wide mortgage systems. The new
systems are Year 2000 compliant. This effort encompasses the major systems that
perform our mission critical functions. Several components have been installed
and we are currently targeted to complete these installations by December 31,
1998. The Company does not believe that Year 2000 issues will have a material
impact on its correspondent and broker relationships. The Company is also
communicating with suppliers, dealers, financial institutions and others with
which it does business to coordinate Year 2000 conversion. The Company does not
foresee a material impact to the Company surrounding the Year 2000 compliance
with such correspondents, brokers, suppliers, dealers, financial institutions
and others. Direct costs associated exclusively with achieving Year 2000
compliance is not expected to be material to the Company and will be incurred
through 1999.

                              AGREEMENT AND RELEASE


         This Agreement and Release (the "Agreement") is entered into between
Resource Bancshares Mortgage Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and _____________ the "Optionee").

                               W I T N E S S E T H

         WHEREAS, the Company and the Optionee entered into one or more
Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements described in Exhibit A hereto (the "Option
Agreement(s)") pursuant to which the Company awarded to the Optionee the option
(the "Option") to purchase from the Company, at an exercise price per share set
forth in Exhibit A, up to but not exceeding in the aggregate the number of
shares (the "Option Shares") of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the
Company (the "Common Stock") set forth in Exhibit A; and

         WHEREAS, the Optionee has not been and, but for this Agreement would
not be, entitled to exercise the Option because the Optionee's employment by the
Company terminated prior to the receipt of the requisite stockholder approval of
the Company's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") under which the
Option was granted;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements
set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Optionee agree
