Interim Financial Data
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments(consisting only of adjustments of a
normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation
of the results of operations have been included. Operating results for the
nine month period ended January 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that might be expected for the year ended April 30, 2000.
Organization and Business of the Company
United Financial Mortgage Corp. is an Illinois corporation organized
on April 30, 1986 to engage in the residential mortgage banking business.
The Company is a licensed mortgage banker in the states of Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North
Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington
and Wisconsin. The Company also does business in other states that do not
have mortgage banking liscensure statutes, including Idaho, Kansas,
Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Wyoming. The Company's mortgage
banking business principally has focused on retail and wholesale residential
mortgage origination activities. The Company is expanding its mortgage
servicing activities by retaining servicing on selected loans that it
produces. The Company's principal lines of business are conducted through
the Retail Origination Division, the Wholesale Origination Division, the
Commercial Division, and the Servicing Division. The Company's
Retail and Wholesale Origination business is conducted principally in
the states of California, Illinois, Nevada, Missouri, and Florida.
The Company is an approved mortgagee by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development and is qualified to originate mortgage loans insured by
the Federal Housing Administration as well as service loans for the Federal
National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Net Income(Loss) Per Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share." SFAS No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and
fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per
share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share
excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible
securities. Earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
presented and, where appropriate, restated to conform to SFAS No. 128
requirements.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when loans are sold after closings. Interest
income from mortgages held by the Company and from short term cash
investments is recognized as earned.
Commissions and Fees
Commissions and fees principally consist of premiums received from
purchasers of mortgage loans originated by the Company. Gains
(losses) from purchasing, selling, investing in or otherwise trading
in closed mortgage loans are an immaterial portion of the Company's
revenues and are included in the Statement of Income under the item
entitled Revenues: Commissions and Fees.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments
with maturity of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of advances made in connection with loan
origination activities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk with respect to mortgage loan receivables and accounts
receivable generally is diversified due to the large number of customers
and the timely sale of the loans to investors, generally within one (1)
month. The Company performs extensive credit investigation and verification
procedures on loan applicants before loans are approved and funds disbursed.
In addition, each loan is secured by the underlying real estate property.
As a result, the Company has not deemed it necessary to provide reserves
for the ultimate realization of the mortgage loan receivables.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets consist of furniture, fixtures, equipment and leasehold
improvements and are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight
line method over their estimated useful lives. Furniture, fixtures and
equipment are depreciated over 5-7 years and leasehold improvements over
the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.
Upon asset retirement or other disposition, cost and the related allowance
for depreciation are removed from the accounts, and gain or loss is
included in the statement of income. Amounts expended as repairs and
maintenance are charged to operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash
and cash equivalents, mortgage receivables, accounts receivables, accounts
payable and notes payable, as reported in the accompanying balance sheet,
approximates fair value.
<PAGE>
United Financial Mortgage Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method
in accordance with SFAS No. 109., "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities
are determined based on differences between financial reporting and
tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Earnings(loss) per common share are calculated on net income(loss)
After the deduction for dividends paid on the Series A Preferred
Shares. The number of common shares used in the computation is based
upon the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period.
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130, establishes the standards
for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components
(revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) as part of a full set of financial
statements. This statement requires that all elements of comprehensive
income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same
prominence as other financial statements. The statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Since the standard applies
only to the presentation of comprehensive income, it should not have any
impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash
flows. Comprehensive income and regular income are one and the same for the
current period.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,"Disclosures about
segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131
is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131
establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997, and therefore the Company has adopted
the new requirements.

Stock Option Plan
In December, 1993 the Company adopted the Non-Qualified and

is payable either in cash, by the surrender of common shares in the
Company, or a combination of both. The aggregate number of options
granted in any one year cannot exceed 10% of the total shares
reserved for issuance under the plan. Options may be exercisable
immediately, after a period of time or in installments, and expire on
the tenth anniversary of the grant. The plan will terminate in
December, 2003. The total number of shares granted as of January 31, 2000
was 174,000.

Contingencies
The Company is a defendant in a series of complaints relating to
its business activities. The Company has aggressively defended its
position in these matters and has filed counter-claims in certain of
the cases. The Company does not believe the outcome of these lawsuits
will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Expansion
On October 9, 1998, the Company purchased certain assets of Mortgage
Service of America, Inc. for $187,291 under the purchase method of
accounting. MSA was is in the mortgage loan origination business and
originated primarily first mortgages. The purchase price was paid in cash.
Assets in the amount of $50,000 are being depreciated over their useful
lives and goodwill of $137,291 will be amortized over 15 years.
Basis of Presentation
Earnings per share is presented in accordance with the provision of
the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" (SFAS 128), which requires the presentation of "basic" and "diluted"
earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted
average shares outstanding without regard for common stock equivalents,
such as stock options and warrants. Diluted earnings per share includes
the effect of common stock equivalents.

The nine month period ended January 31, 2000 was a period of
significant challenge for the Company. Despite the fact that interest rates
increased, loan volume and revenue remained relatively flat as compared to
the same time period in the previous year. However, the Company saw profit
margins on this revenue decrease for the same period last year. The Company
believes it is still well positioned for the future due to prior key
strategic initiatives that prepared the Company for interest rate increases.
Commission and fee revenue decreased slightly from $7,048,117 for the
nine months ended January 31, 1999 to $6,971,000 for the nine months ended
January 31, 2000. This is a percentage decrease of approximately 1.1%.
Interest income increased from $1,138,043 for the nine months ended
January 31, 1999 to $1,243,268 for the nine months ended January 31, 2000.
This increase was attributable to the increase in higher interest income
on invested capital.
Salary and commission expense increased from $4,202,972 for the
nine months ended January 31, 1999 to $4,766,792 for the nine months
ended January 31, 2000. The increase was attributed to two main factors:
continued investment in the expansion of the Company's sales organization
and the increasing cost of wholesale originations with the premiums that
are paid to wholesale mortgage brokers.
Selling and administrative expenses increased from $2,326,409
for the nine months ended January 31, 1999 to $2,642,840 for the nine
months ended January 31, 2000. This increase reflected the continued
efforts to improve infrastructure and technology advancements.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $41,534 for
the nine months ended January 31, 1999 to $112,143 for the nine months
ended January 31, 2000. This increase principally resulted from
technology investments made during fiscal year 1999. This investment is
in line with the Company's strategy of technological advancement and
infrastructure improvements.
Interest expense increased from $931,288 for the nine months
ended January 31, 1999 to $1,190,399 for the nine months ended January
31, 2000. This increase was the result of the increased cost of
borrowing as interest rates have risen.

As a consequence of the accounting treatment afforded to
certain equity transactions entered into by the Company regarding warrants
and other financings, the Company's results of operations include non-cash
charges against income in the nine months ending January 31, 1999 and
January 31, 2000, respectfully. This consists of $117,000 recorded as
advisory fees in the nine month periods for 1999 and $78,000 for the same
period 2000. Without this non-cash charge, net income available to common
shareholders would have been $679,421 in the first nine months fiscal year
1999 and ($26,713) in the first nine months fiscal year 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine months ended January 31, 1999 and January 31,
2000, net cash generated(used) by operating activities was $431,879
and ($322,724), respectively. Net cash generated by operating activities
decreased from the first nine months of fiscal year 1999 to the first
nine months of 2000 largely due to the fluctuation in net income from year
to year.
Net cash generated(used) by investing activities changed from
($75,398) for the nine months ended January 31, 1999 to ($292,524)
for the nine months ended January 31, 2000. The change from fiscal year
1999 to fiscal year 2000 largely was attributable to the sale of two
foreclosed properties in 1999. This was partially offset by investments
in fixed assets and the increase in retaining servicing rights on certain
closed loans during the time periods.
Cash flow from financing activities for the first nine months
of fiscal year 1999 and first nine months of fiscal year 2000 was
$2,235,710 and 462,837, respectively. This change resulted largely
from the net proceeds of a public offering which occurred in early
fiscal year 1999.
The net cash flow from operating, financing, and investing
activities was $2,592,191 for the first nine months fiscal year 1999 and
($152,412) for the first nine months fiscal year 2000.
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended January 31, 2000
were approximately $70,000, principally in technology and to a lesser
extent for the expansion of sales organization facilities. These
capital expenditures include the purchase of a new loan tracking
system that coincides with the strategy of using technology as a
competitive advantage. The Company believes it will continue to make
investments in technology in the near future to enhance and maintain its
product and service offerings.
Cash flow requirements depend on the level and timing of the
Company's activities in loan origination in relation to the timing of the
sale of such loans. In addition, the Company requires cash flow for the
payment of operating expenses, interest expense, and capital expenditures.
Currently, the Company's primary sources of funding are borrowings under
warehouse lines of credit, proceeds from the sale of loans in the secondary
market and internally generated funds.
<PAGE>
During the first nine months of fiscal year 2000, the Company
has continued to pursue its strategy of servicing mortgage loans.
In order to engage in this business, the Company has retained the servicing
rights on loans that the Company originates. Such retention has resulted in
some reduction in short term cash flow available. The Company has employed
capital to finance the retention of servicing rights. This capital
principally has been expended to pay the costs associated with loan
origination, such as loan officer compensation, broker commissions, and
miscellaneous overhead expenses. However, the retention of servicing
rights is expected to create an asset on the Company's balance sheet and
create future cash flow streams.
Industry Trends
Higher interest rates in recent quarters have resulted in many
mortgage companies leaving the market. Although this benefits the Company
long-term because of less competition. Short term effects include less
origination activity and reduced margins.
The Company also believes that the industry will continue to offer
broader and more diversified product offerings and that technology will
play an increasing part in real estate transactions. This includes
expanded use of Internet capabilities which the Company will continue to
aggressively pursue.
The Company's business base is concentrated principally in the
Midwest and Western United States. As such, the Company may be subject to
the effects of economic conditions and real estate markets specific to
such locales.
Inflation and Seasonality
The Company believes the effect of inflation, other than its
potential effect on market interest rates, has been insignificant.
Historically, seasonal fluctuations in mortgage originations
generally do not have a material effect on the financial condition
or operations of the Company. Due to the technological and
infrastructure advancements, such as increasing the servicing
portfolio, the Company hopes to continue to minimize seasonality
fluctuations.
