and notes with private investors, bearing interest rates of 10.25%
to 15.00%, with interest payable as agreed upon.
$54,616,448 $55,331,758
3. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. The Company is required to maintain certain
regulatory net worth requirements. These requirements prohibit the
Company from paying dividends or other distributions which would reduce
its regulatory net worth below standards set by certain regulatory
agencies. The Company's net worth at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was in
excess of the regulatory requirements of $1,469,502 and $1,260,345,
respectively.
Additionally, the company in accordance with requirements under a
warehouse loan agreement is required to maintain a minimum adjusted
tangible net worth of $2,500,000.
4. INCOME TAXES. The Company's provision for income taxes was as follows:
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1998 1997
<S> <C> <C>
Current $419,958 $(131,000)
Deferred (246,493) 296,000
Total Provision for Income Taxes $173,465 $165,000
</TABLE>
The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting
items for financial statement and income tax purposes are recognized if
appropriate. Realization of the future tax benefit of net operating
loss carryforwards is dependent on the Company's ability to generate
taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period.
Management has considered this in reaching its conclusion that no
valuation allowance is necessary for financial reporting purposes.
The income tax effect of temporary differences comprising the deferred
tax assets (liabilities) on the accompanying balance sheets is a result
of the following:
<TABLE>

Deferred tax assets: $25,628 $10,000

A reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate (34%)
and the effective rate of income tax expense for each of the two years
during the period ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Statutory federal income tax rate 34% 34%
Increase/(decrease) in taxes resulting from:
State tax average rates 9 9
Utilization of tax benefit (costs) (14.0) (2.5)
Effective rate 29.0% 45.5%
</TABLE>
5. COMMITMENTS. The Company leases one of its facilities under the terms
of an operating lease from an entity in which the principal
stockholders of the Company are partners. The lease contains an
escalatory clause which is tied to the consumer price index.
Additionally, the Company leases office facilities and equipment under
operating leases with unrelated parties. Rent expense for 1998 and 1997
aggregated $425,000 and $390,490, respectively including $155,150 and
$121,430 on the related party lease.
The total future minimum lease commitments pursuant to these leases are
as follows:
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31,
1999 $395,631
2000 212,069
2001 71,998
Minimum lease commitments terminate in year 2001.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. Amounts due from an officer reflected as
related party advances were repaid during 1998 by the issuance of
additional compensation to the officer.
7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments" ("SFAS No. 107"), requires that the Company disclose
estimated fair value for its financial instruments. Fair value
estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the
Company's financial instruments:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

</TABLE>
The fair value estimates are made at a distinct point in time based on
relevant market information and information about the financial
instruments. Because the Company's financial instruments are not quoted
on a specific market, fair value estimates are based on judgments
regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions,
risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other
factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment.

nMORTGAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 23, 1999 (DATE OF INCEPTION) THROUGH
DECEMBER 31, 1999
1. Organization, basis of presentation, and management's plans:
Organization and basis of presentation:
On August 23, 1999, Equitex, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation
("Equitex"), through its subsidiary FBMS Acquisition Corp., entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Acquisition Agreement") with
First Bankers Mortgage Services, Inc., a Florida mortgage banking company
("FBMS"), to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of FBMS in
exchange for 250 shares of Equitex preferred stock valued at $2,531,000.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the total purchase
price was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their
estimated fair values, including goodwill of $18,525,000.
FBMS was incorporated in 1990 and is engaged in the origination and sale
of residential mortgages. In addition to conventional mortgage products,
FBMS also provides FHA and VA assisted mortgages under the United States
HUD lending program. Mortgages are originated through retail branches and
wholesale lending centers located principally in Florida.
In accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, FBMS
Acquisition Corp. was merged with and into FBMS subsequent to the
acquisition. Equitex then formed nMortgage, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("nMortgage"), as a subsidiary holding company of FBMS, and transferred
its common shares of FBMS to nMortgage in exchange for 12,000,000 shares
of nMortgage common stock. Effective December 31, 1999, nMortgage issued
460,656 shares of Series D preferred stock to Equitex to acquire 460,656
shares of FBMS preferred stock (Note 11). The FBMS preferred stock was
originally issued to Equitex prior to the formation of nMortgage for cash
of $1,856,560 and in satisfaction of notes payable and related accrued
interest of $2,750,000.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
nMortgage, FBMS, and FBMS' wholly-owned subsidiary United Appraisal
Services, Inc., a Florida corporation which provided appraisal services
through September 1999 (collectively referred to as the "Company"). The
results of operations of FBMS and its subsidiary are included in the
Company's consolidated statement of operations from the date of the FBMS
acquisition, August 23, 1999. Minority interest at December 31, 1999,
represents preferred stock of FBMS (Note 10). All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
<PAGE> 19
Management's plans:
From August 23, 1999, through December 31, 1999, the Company reported a
net loss of $3,651,394. In addition, FBMS is not in compliance with
certain regulatory capital requirements administered by banking agencies
in certain states in which FBMS is licensed to do business, which subjects
FBMS to potential mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that,
if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.
The Company has developed plans and strategies to address these factors.
The Company has developed a business plan for 2000 and beyond, which
includes developing and introducing Internet mortgage technologies which
are expected to increase profitability. The Company's plans also include
significantly altering mortgage closing procedures, which are expected to
reduce the Company's exposure to certain economic risks. In addition, the
Company has incorporated various changes in its management structure,
which the Company believes will improve and strengthen operations.
In connection with these plans and strategies, the Company also intends to
continue negotiating proposed business transactions (Note 13) and
obtaining additional sources of equity and/or debt financing.
2. Significant accounting policies:
Use of accounting estimates in financial statement preparation:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and 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, and it is reasonably possible that significant changes could
occur in the near term.
Cash and cash equivalents:
For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
<PAGE> 20
Mortgage loans held for sale, net:
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market
are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate.
Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation
allowance by charges to income. Gain or loss on sales of loans is
recognized at the time of the sale. Origination fees and loan origination
costs on such loans are recognized when the mortgage is sold, which is
normally within 30 days of the origination of the loan. Interest earned on
these mortgages is recognized as income from the time the mortgage is
closed to the time the mortgage is sold.
The Company generally sells the servicing rights on mortgages. The Company
has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, and
accordingly capitalizes the fair value (quoted market price) of retained
mortgage servicing rights on loans sold. Capitalized mortgage servicing
rights on such loans are amortized in proportion to and over the period of
estimated net servicing income. The carrying amount of capitalized
mortgage servicing rights is evaluated for impairment based upon quoted
market prices of similar loans. At December 31, 1999, the Company has no
retained mortgage servicing rights.
Mortgage loans:
The Company periodically grants mortgage loans to customers. Loans that
management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future
or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding
unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan
losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest
income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees,
net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an
adjustment to the related loan yield using the interest method.
Mortgage loans (continued):
The accrual of interest on mortgage loans is discontinued at the time the
loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in
process of collection. Loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off
status at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is
considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that
are placed on non-accrual or charged-off status is reversed against
interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the
cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to
accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and
interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments
are reasonably assured.
<PAGE> 21
Allowance for loan losses:
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by
management and is based upon management's periodic review of the
collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature
and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the
borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral
and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently
subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant
revision as more information becomes available. Loan losses are charged
against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a
loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to
the allowance.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and
events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the
scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management
in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and
the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments
when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment
shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines
the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a
case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances
surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay,
the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the
amount of the shortfall in relation to the
Allowance for loan losses (continued):
principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan
basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted
at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price,
or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Furniture, fixtures, equipment and depreciation:
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost and depreciation is
provided by the use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is depreciated
over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the length of the
respective leases, whichever period is shorter. The estimated useful lives
of furniture, fixtures and equipment are as follows:
Office equipment and furniture 3 to 7 years
Computer hardware and software 3 to 5 years
Leasehold improvements 7 years
<PAGE> 22
Impairment of long-lived assets:
The Company reviews long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future
net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair
value of the assets. Based on management's review, the Company does not
believe that any impairments have occurred on long-lived assets during the
period ended December 31, 1999.
Foreclosed assets:
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale
and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure,
establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are
periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenues and
expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are
included in general and administrative expense. Foreclosed assets of
$299,400 at December 31, 1999, are presented net of an allowance for
losses of $198,000.
Restricted cash:
Restricted cash represents cash pledged as collateral on a warehouse loan
held by a third-party financial institution (Notes 5 and 6).
Comprehensive income:
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes requirements for
disclosure of comprehensive income which includes certain items previously
not included in the statement of operations, including unrealized gains
and losses on investments, among others. During the period ended December
31, 1999, the Company had no items of comprehensive income.
Stock-based compensation:
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, defines a
fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation plans and transactions in which an entity issues its equity
instruments to acquire goods or services from non-employees, and
encourages but does not require companies to record compensation cost for
stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has
chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the
intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25") and
related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options
is measured as the excess, if any, of the
<PAGE> 23
estimated fair value of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over
the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Recently issued accounting standards:
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
Currently, the Company does not have any derivative financial instruments
and does not participate in hedging activities. Therefore, management
believes that SFAS No. 133 will not have an impact on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
Risks and uncertainties:
During the period ended December 31, 1999, FBMS originated loans with
customers concentrated in the eastern United States, primarily in Florida,
Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey and the District of Columbia. Loan
originations in these five areas collectively represented approximately
57% of mortgage loan origination activity during the period ended December
31, 1999.
In the normal course of business, companies in the mortgage banking
industry encounter certain economic and regulatory risks. Economic risks
include interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. The Company is
subject to interest rate risk to the extent that in a rising interest rate
environment, the Company will generally experience a decrease in loan
production, which may negatively impact the Company's operations. Credit
risk is the risk of default, primarily in the Company's mortgage loans
that result from the mortgagors' inability or unwillingness to make
contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value
of mortgage loans available for sale and in commitments to originate
loans.
At December 31, 1999, one warehouse facility accounted for 71% of the
Company's outstanding borrowings (Note 6). Loss of this credit facility in
the near term could severely impact the Company's ability to fund mortgage
products.
3. Mortgage loans and related party note receivable:
The Company's inventory of mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily
of first-trust deed mortgages on residential properties located throughout
the United States. At December 31, 1999, the Company has mortgage loans
held for sale of $14,787,080, which is net of an allowance for loan losses
of $1,386,000, and which are pledged as collateral on warehouse loans at
December 31, 1999 (Note 6). In addition, mortgage loans of $317,400 at
December 31, 1999, are net of an allowance for loan losses of $57,100.
At December 31, 1999, the Company also has a $61,000 note receivable from
the president of FBMS. The note is unsecured, due on demand, and bears
interest at 10% per annum.

Employee benefit plan:
FBMS has a 401(k) defined contribution plan (the "Plan") which covers all
full-time employees of FBMS who have three months of service and are at
least twenty-one years of age. Contributions are matched at the discretion
of FBMS, as defined in the Plan. For the period ended December 31, 1999,
FBMS' matching contribution was $4,928.
Litigation:
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse impact
either individually or in the aggregate on consolidated results of
operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
Minimum regulatory capital requirements:
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by various state banking agencies in certain states in which
the Company is licensed to do business. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations, and/or cash flows. At December 31, 1999, the
Company is not in compliance with all regulatory requirements in certain
states.
Indemnifications and mortgage loan repurchases:
Under the terms of the Company's various agreements with third party
investors who purchase mortgage loans from the Company in the secondary
market, the Company may be required to indemnify the investor for certain
losses as a result of the mortgage loan borrower's non-performance.
Additionally, under certain circumstances, the Company
<PAGE> 29
may be required to repurchase loans previously sold. Management believes
it has made adequate provision for these items, which is included in the
mortgage loans held for sale loan loss reserve.
9. Income taxes:
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse.
At December 31, 1999, the Company's deferred tax assets consist of the
following:
<TABLE>

Net operating loss carryforward $ 6,732,000
Allowances for losses 558,000

Net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $19.7 million may be
available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2019. The net
operating loss carryforwards may be subject to certain limitations due to
ownership changes during 1999. A valuation allowance has been provided to
eliminate the deferred tax assets, as realization of the assets is not
assured.
10. Subsidiary stock transactions:
At December 31, 1999, minority interest of $2,507,000 consists of 250,700
shares of issued and outstanding FBMS Series A preferred stock. This
Series A, 12%, cumulative preferred stock is callable at its par value of
$10 per share.
11. Stockholders' equity:
Series A preferred stock:
In 1999, the Company issued 3,505,000 shares of Series A, 5% convertible
preferred stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") for $1 per share. The
Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1 per share, and
no voting rights.
The Series A Preferred Stock holders are entitled to 5% annual dividends,
calculated on the liquidation preference. At the option of the Company,
dividends may be paid either
<PAGE> 30
in cash or in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of
Series A Preferred Stock, plus any unpaid dividends, will automatically
convert on November 1, 2000 into one share of the Company's common stock,
or upon the merger of the Company with or into another company, each share
of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into two shares of
common stock.
Series B preferred stock:
In December 1999, the Company issued 40,000 shares of Series B convertible
preferred stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") in exchange for the
investors assumption of $461,070 of the Company's accounts payable. The
Series B Preferred Stock holder is not entitled to dividends, does not
have a liquidation preference, and has no voting rights. The Series B
Preferred Stock automatically converts into 10 shares of common stock upon
the merger of the Company with or into another company.
Series D preferred stock:
Effective December 31, 1999, the Company issued 460,656 shares of Series D
preferred stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") to Equitex to acquire
460,656 shares of FBMS preferred stock. The FBMS preferred stock was
originally issued to Equitex prior to the formation of the Company for
cash of $1,856,560 and in satisfaction of notes payable and related
accrued interest of $2,750,000.
Stock option plan:
In October 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan"), which provides for the issuance to employees, officers, directors
and consultants of the Company, options to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares
of the Company's common stock, which has been reserved by the Company for
issuance under the Plan. Options may be granted as incentive stock options
or non-statutory options. For options that are granted, the exercise
period may not exceed ten years.
In December 1999, the Company granted options to two officers/directors of
the Company to purchase up to 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock
at $1.00 per share, which was the estimated fair value of the common stock
on the date of grant, as determined by management. None of these options,
which expire in December 2004, were exercised during 1999.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options been determined on
the fair value of such awards at the grant date, consistent with the
methods of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss would have been
$3,739,000. The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the
date of grant using the minimum value pricing method utilizing the
following assumptions: dividend yield, 0%; weighted average expected
option term, two years; risk free interest rate, 6%.
<PAGE> 31
12. Fair value of financial instruments:
The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would
be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.
Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in
many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's
various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other
valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an
immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about
Fair Values of Financial Instruments, excludes certain financial
instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure
requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may
not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Mortgage loans held for sale:
The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is based on commitments on
hand from investors or prevailing market prices. For variable-rate loans
that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk,
fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage
loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold (adjusted
for differences in loan characteristics). Fair values for non-performing
loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying
collateral values, where applicable. The fair value of mortgage loans held
for sale at December 31, 1999 was $14,923,000 (carrying value of
$14,787,080).
Warehouse loans and notes payable:
The fair values of warehouse loans and notes payable to non-related
parties approximates their carrying values because of the short maturities
of the notes. The fair values of notes payable to related parties are not
practicable to estimate, based upon the related party nature of the
underlying transactions.
Other financial instruments:
The fair value of other financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents,
the note receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses) approximate
their carrying amounts because of the short maturities of those
instruments.
13. Proposed sale of nMortgage, Inc.:
On September 22, 1999, the Company entered into a letter of intent,
whereby all of the outstanding common stock of the Company is to be
acquired by Innovative Gaming
<PAGE> 32
Corporation of America ("IGCA"), an SEC reporting company whose common
stock trades on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Under the terms of this
proposed transaction, the Company's shareholders are to receive
approximately 46,000,000 shares of IGCA common stock in exchange for all
outstanding shares of nMortgage, Inc., assuming that there will be
approximately 16,000,000 shares of IGCA common stock outstanding on a
fully-diluted basis, before the transaction.
IGCA was formed in 1991 to develop, manufacture, market and distribute
specialty video gaming machines. As a condition of the proposed
transaction, IGCA is to dispose of its gaming assets, resulting in
nMortgage as the sole business operation of IGCA.
There are a number of material conditions that must be satisfied prior to
the completion of this transaction, including any required approval by the
Company's shareholders, the disposal of IGCA's gaming assets, the
negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement between the Company
and IGCA, and approval from all governmental bodies or agencies and
regulatory authorities. There is no assurance that the conditions
summarized above will be satisfied, or that the transaction will occur
consistent with the terms outlined above.

(iii) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS TO BE ACQUIRED.
Subsequent to the acquisition of First Bankers Mortgage Services, Inc. ("FBMS")
by nMortgage, Inc. ("nMortgage"), management discovered certain errors made in
accounting for and recording losses on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale
and recording mortgage loans at the lower of costs or estimated fair value,
resulting in an understatement of the 1998 loan loss reserves. These adjustments
were recorded in 1999 as a prior period adjustment. The following Management
Discussion and Analysis has been prepared using 1998 results, adjusted for
errors. The adjusted 1998 results, which also include certain reclassifications
to be consistent with the 1999 classifications, are as follows:
Revenues
Loan Production and Processing Revenues $ 3,717,006
Secondary Marketing Revenues, net 10,231,234
Interest Income 4,487,220
-----------
Total Revenue $18,435,460
Expenses
Loan Production and Processing $ 9,649,778
Compensation and Employee Benefits 10,071,613
General and Administrative 4,358,125
Interest Expense 3,227,970
Provisions for Estimated Loan Losses 1,167,550
-----------
Total Expenses $28,475,036
Net Loss ($10,039,576)
REVENUES: Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999, were approximately
$9,756,000, compared to revenues of approximately $18,435,460. The reason for
the decline in revenues was a direct result of a decline in loan production.
Mortgage originations decreased from approximately $1,672 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998, to approximately $491 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999. The reduced originations resulted in a decrease in closed
loans to approximately $324 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from
approximately $855 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The reduction
in closed loans caused a decrease in loan sales from approximately $842 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998 for approximately $374 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999. The drop in production was primarily caused by a
decrease in the amount of mortgage refinancings that the FBMS and nMortgage
closed in 1999 compared to 1998. The drop in closed loans also resulted in a
decrease in revenues from secondary marketing, as the FBMS and nMortgage was
selling fewer loans to its investors.
<PAGE> 34
LOAN PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING EXPENSE: Loan production and processing expenses
decreased to $3,713,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $9,650,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1998. The primary reason for the decline in loan
production and processing expenses in 1999 compared to 1998 was a reduction in
the amount of commissions of approximately $5,452,000 paid to brokers as a
result of the reduced dollar amount of loans originated and closed. Other costs,
such as appraisal fees, credit reports and inspection fees also decreased as a
result of the reduction in loan originations and closings.
COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS: Compensation and employee benefits decreased
to approximately $6,979,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, from
approximately $10,072,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The main reason
for the reduction was commissions of $1,285,000 paid to loan officers in 1999
compared to 1998 as the FBMS and nMortgage originated, closed and sold
substantially fewer loans in 1999 compared to 1998. Additionally, employee
compensation was lower by approximately $1,243,000 and related benefits were
also lower by approximately 1,243,000 in 1999 compared to 1998, as fewer
employees were necessary to process the reduced loan volume.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE: General and administrative expenses decreased to
approximately $3,976,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, from
approximately $4,358,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The reason for
the decline was a reduction in telephone/communication expenses, office supplies
and postage and courier costs, all of which were impacted by lower loan
activity.
INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense for the year ended 1999 decreased to
approximately $3,095,000 from approximately $3,228,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1998. The slight decline is interest expense in 1999 compared to
1998 was attributable to lower balances on FBMS' and nMortgage's warehouse lines
of credit, specifically during the last half of 1999. However, the reduced
interest expense from lower loan balances was partially offset by increasing
interest rates during 1999.
PROVISION FOR ESTIMATED LOAN LOSSES: The provision for estimated loan losses
increased to approximately $1,932,000 in 1999 from approximately $1,167,000 in
1998. The increase in 1999 compared to 1998 was attributable to management's
analysis of the fair market value of mortgages held for sale and adjusting the
revenue accordingly. Because of increasing interest rates, new management
believed that it was necessary to be more cautious in providing estimates of
potential losses.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
(1) DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION
On December 31, 1999, nMortgage, Inc. (nMortgage or the Company) entered into a
definitive merger agreement with Innovative Gaming Corporation of America
(IGCA). At closing, nMortgage's stockholders will receive approximately
46,000,000 shares of IGCA common stock in exchange for their nMortgage common
stock. The Company plans to record this transaction as a reverse merger and
recapitalization. The following unaudited pro forma condensed statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 gives effect to the transaction
as if it had occurred effective January 1, 1999. The following unaudited
condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 gives effect to the transaction
as if it occurred on December 31, 1999.
(2) nMORTGAGE, INC. PERIODS OF PRESENTATION
On August 23, 1999, nMortgage, Inc. through its wholly-owned subsidiary, FBMS
Acquisition Corp., merged with First Bankers Mortgage Services, Inc (FBMS). FBMS
continued as the surviving corporation. The transaction was recorded as a
purchase in accordance with APB No. 16. Accordingly, the Statement of Operations
for nMortage includes the activity for the period from August 23, 1999 (Date of
Inception) through December 31, 1999.
(3) DESCRIPTION OF PRE-MERGER ADJUSTMENTS
IGCA contemplates completing the following transactions in advance of the merger
transaction:
(A) To record the sale of substantially all of its gaming related
assets to Xertain by June 30, 2000 for $4,000,000 plus a
promissory note payable to IGCA in an amount equal to the
accounts receivable of IGCA as of the closing date, adjusted
for certain payments to be made by Xertain and IGCA as
provided for in the note, and Xertain will assume certain
liabilities of IGCA. The accounts receivable promissory note
will be secured by the accounts receivable of IGCA which are
being acquired by Xertain. The $4,000,000 will be payable
$1,000,000 in cash and $3,000,000 in an unsecured promissory
note of a 36-month term, payable upon the due date, plus
interest at 8.5% per annum.

(B) To record legal, accounting and banking fees and other costs
of the transaction.
<PAGE> 39
(C) To reflect the reverse merger as if it had occurred on January
1, 1999. Since IGCA will be a non-operating entity at the date
of the transaction, none of the revenues or expenses of IGCA
would have resulted during the period had the transaction
occurred on January 1, 1999. Accordingly, the adjustment
reflects the removal of these revenues and expenses.
(D) To record the transaction as a reverse merger.
