results for the three and the six months ended March 31, 1996.

         Moreover, these financial statements do not purport to contain complete
disclosure in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and
should be read in conjunction with the Company's  audited  financial  statements
at, and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995.

         The results  reflected for the three and the six months ended March 31,

                   HOMEOWNERS FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.  ORIGINATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

     Homeowners  Financial  Corp.  (the  "Company"),  through  its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries,  FIS, Inc. ("FIS") and FIS' wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Home Owners
Funding Corp. of America ("HOFCA") and Developers Mortgage  Corporation ("DMC"),
is a full service  mortgage banking company that services,  originates  acquires
and markets mortgage loans secured primarily by residential  properties  located
in 48 states and the  District of  Columbia.  All of the  Company's  substantive
operations are conducted by HOFCA and DMC.

Note 2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and Regulation
S-B and in the opinion of management of the Company  include all information and
footnotes  necessary for a fair presentation of financial  position,  results of
operations,  and cash flows in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  The information furnished,  in the opinion of management,  reflects
all adjustments  (consisting  only of normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary to
present fairly the Condensed  Consolidated  Statements of Financial Condition at
March 31, 1996 and  September  30, 1995,  Condensed  Consolidated  Statements of
Operations  for the six months and the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the
six months and the three  months ended March 31,  1995,  Condensed  Consolidated
Statement  of  Stockholders'  Equity for six  months  ended  March 31,  1996 and
Condensed  Consolidated  Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended March
31, 1996 and the six months ended March 31, 1995.  The results of  operations of
interim periods are not necessarily  indicative of results which may be expected
for any other interim period or for the year as whole.

     Results  for the six months and the three  months  ended  March 31, 1996 as
reflected  in  the  accompanying   unaudited  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial
Statements  include  activity of the Company as it is currently  organized.  The
results for the six months and the three months ended March 31, 1995 reflect the
operations of the Company prior to the acquisition of DMC and the ASC-PMSR.  The
results for the Company for the six months and the three  months ended March 31,
1996 and for the six months and the three  months  ended  March 31, 1995 are not
necessarily  comparable nor are they necessarily indicative of results which may
be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole.

Note 3.  NOTES PAYABLE

     The Company is currently  in default  with one  provision of the First Term
Loan  agreement.  At  December  31,  1995 and March 31,  1996 the Company was in
default with the provisions of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the First Term
Loan Agreement.  The minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio as defined in the First
Term Loan agreement is 1.20 to 1.00.  The Company's Debt Service  Coverage Ratio
at  December  31,  1995 was .44 to 1 and at  March  31,  1996  the debt  Service
Coverage  Ratio  was .72 to 1.00.  The  Company  has  requested  a waiver of the
condition of default and has discussed  with First Bank  alternative  actions to
bring the Company into  compliance  with all  provisions  of the First Term Loan
Agreement . The  Company  and First Bank have agreed to suspend  payments of all
preferred stock dividends, approximately $63,000 on a quarterly basis, until the
Company is in full  compliance  with all terms and  provisions of the First Term
Loan Agreement.  On May 3, 1996 First Bank waived the condition of default until
September  30,  1996.  The  outstanding  balance  of the First Term Loan and the
outstanding  balance of the First Warehouse  Facility were $3.6 million and $2.7
million,  respectively, at March 31, 1996, and , $3.6 million and $ 2.6 million,
respectively, as of the date hereof.

Note 4.  CONTINGENCIES

     In 1994, the Company  commenced  legal actions against five of seven former
owners of HOFCA in order to seek relief from its  obligations  under  employment
agreements with the individuals due to their alleged breach of such  agreements.
The former owners filed countersuits  seeking damages and "bonus  compensation."
The  Company  had  accrued  the  remaining  payments  due under  the  employment
agreements  at  September  30, 1995.  The  litigation  went to mediation  during
November  1995.  On February 22, 1996,  the Company and the seven former  owners
entered into a Settlement  Agreement and Release.  This Settlement Agreement and
Release  constitutes  full settlement of and release from all claims of both the
former  owners  and the  Company.  The  economic  effect  of the  Settlement  is
appropriately reflected in the balance sheet at September 30, 1995.

     The  Company is  involved  in various  lawsuits  and claims  stemming  from
foreclosure proceedings,  bankruptcy and reorganization proceedings,  mechanics'
liens and other  matters which are  incidental to its business.  Such claims are
generally  on behalf of investors  for whom the Company acts as servicing  agent
and, in the opinion of the Company's management, the resolution of these matters
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial  position or operations
of the Company.

Note 5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Subsequent  to  September  30, 1995,  the Company  borrowed  $200,000  from
certain  directors and a shareholder.  Such borrowings were at a rate of 11%. In
consideration for a portion of these advances, a director received stock options
expiring on October 10, 1997 for 30,000  shares of common  exercisable  at $2.00
per  share.  In March  1996,  the  directors  and  shareholder  converted  their
principal  and accrued  interest  on their loans into Series B Preferred  Stock,
$.10 par value, at a rate of $1,000 per share.

     On December 29, 1995, The Company  executed a multiple  advance  promissory
note for $250,000 with a corporation controlled by the President of the Company.
The Company  borrowed  $208,000 at a rate of 8% per annum maturing on demand but
no later than  December  31,  1996.  In March  1996,  $200,000  of this loan was
converted into Series B Preferred Stock, $.10 par value, at a rate of $1,000 per
share.

     In March  1996,  a Company  shareholder  converted  a $100,000  loan to the
Company into Series B Preferred  Stock,  $.10 par value, at a rate of $1,000 per
share.

NOTE 6.  STOCK TRANSACTIONS

     In March 1996, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 4,174 shares
of common  stock to an attorney in exchange  for legal  services  provided.  The
amount of common stock issued approximated a fair market value of $16,000.

NOTE 7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Notes Payable

     The Company was not in  compliance  with the Debt  Service  Coverage  Ratio
provision of the term note and  warehouse  credit  facility  (see Note 3. "Notes
Payable")  as of March 31,  1996.  The  Company had applied for a waiver of such
compliance  provision.  As of April 8, 1996, the bank acknowledged the violation
but  neither  waived nor took such  action on the  violation  of the  compliance
provisions.  The  bank  requested  that  the  Company  suspend  payments  of all
preferred stock dividends until the Company is in full compliance with the terms
and provisions of the term loan and warehouse credit facility.

     On May 3, 1996 First Bank,  subject to the  execution of Amendment 1 to the
First Term Loan  Agreement,  waived the condition of default on the Debt Service
Coverage  Ratio until  September 30, 1996. On this date First Bank also modified
certain compliance provisions of the First Term Loan Agreement. Minimum Adjusted
Tangible Net Worth  required  under the terms and  provisions  of the First Term
Loan  Agreement  was reduced to $2.7  million  from $3.0  million.  The Adjusted
Leverage  Ratio  allowed  under the terms and  provisions of the First Term Loan
Agreement was  increased to 4.0 to 1.0 from 3.25 to 1.0. In addition  First Bank
also extended the First  Warehouse  Facility until one year from the date of the
execution of Amendment 1 to the First Term Loan Agreement,  estimated to be June
1, 1997. The previous maturity date was August 30, 1996.

Modification of Note Payable

     On April 11, 1996,  the note payable to a bank,  in the amount of $695,489,
was modified in order to extend the maturity  date,  April 27, 1996, to July 26,
1996. The Company paid an extension fee of .25%, ($1,739),  to the bank in order
to extend the  maturity  date of the note  payable.  All other terms of the note
payable remain in effect as if the note was not modified.

Item 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results
         of Operations

General

     Effect Of Interest Rate  Fluctuations.  Long-term  interest  rates declined
throughout the period from 1991 into 1993 and reached historically low levels in
1993.  That  interest  rate  environment   generally  favored  loan  origination
activities.  Such low interest rates  normally  expand the market demand for new
loan financing,  and increase mortgage loan activity and revenue associated with
such operations. However, partly because of competition, the net interest margin
earned on a given loan held for sale usually  decreases in such an  environment.
Commencing in late 1993 interest rates  increased until  approximately  mid-1995
and then declined until late February 1996,  from which time rates have steadily
increased.  While current  interest rates are not high by historical  standards,
the  increase  in  interest  rates  had a  materially  negative  effect  on loan
origination  volume  throughout  the  industry  during 1994 and early 1995.  The
Company's loan  origination  volume reacted to these increases in interest rates
with a decrease in volume.  Volume has increased  during the quarter ended March
31,  1996 and the  volume of loan  applications  taken by the  Company  has been
consistent.  If interest rates continue to increase, it is uncertain whether the
Company will be able to maintain  it's  origination  volume.  If interest  rates
decrease, the Company's origination volume should increase.

     Lower  interest rates  generally have the effect of increasing  prepayments
because they tend to stimulate a higher level of home purchases and  refinancing
of existing  mortgage debt.  Higher levels of loan prepayments also increase the
Company's  amortization  of  purchased  mortgage  servicing  rights to reflect a
shorter  expected  life of loans  serviced.  The Company's  servicing  portfolio
carries a weighted  average  interest rate of  approximately  7.97% resulting in
stable and expected prepayment levels for the Company.

     Higher  interest  rates  historically  slow  prepayments  in the  Company's
servicing  portfolio  because they tend to decrease the level of home  purchases
and  refinancing of existing  mortgage  debt.  While interest rates had recently
dropped,  management  believes that the decline was not sufficient,  in light of
the  recent   historically   low  interest  rates,  to  affect  levels  of  loan
prepayments.

     Variations  in  interest  rates may also impact  revenue  from the sales of
servicing rights. To the extent that it's origination volume varies, the Company
may have more or less servicing rights  available for sale or retention.  Market
expectations  regarding  future  mortgage loan  prepayments and other supply and
demand  factors may  influence  the price the  Company  receives  for  servicing
rights.  At March 31,  1996,  the  principal  balance of  mortgage  loans in the
Company's   servicing   portfolio  were  primarily  located  in  the  states  of
California,  30.3%,  Maryland,11.9%,   Virginia,  11.1%,  New  York,  9.4%,  and
Washington,  7.5%.  Economic  slow  downs in the  states in which the  Company's
business  is  conducted,  may  result in a decline in the  Company's  results of
operations  in the future to the extent such decline  affects  loan  origination
volumes or levels of loan delinquency and defaults.

Effect of Inflation.  The Company's  mortgage banking operations are affected by
inflation primarily through its impact on interest rates. See above.

Accounting for Mortgage  Banking  Activities.  For the year ended  September 30,
1995, the cost of purchased  mortgage  servicing  rights ("PMSR") is capitalized
and  amortized   over  the  estimated   remaining  life  of  the  related  loans
proportionate   to  the  estimated   discounted   net  servicing   income  on  a
disaggregated basis. The Company monitors prepayment  experience on the mortgage
loans  underlying  its  PMSR's  and,  to  the  extent   unanticipated   mortgage
prepayments  occur,  adjusts  amortization on a prospective basis. To the extent
that  unanticipated  mortgage  prepayments  result  in  the  carrying  value  of
purchased servicing rights exceeding  estimated  discounted future net servicing
income,  a  write-down  of the PMSR's  would be made through a charge to current
earnings.

     In May 1995,  FASB issued SFAS No.122  "Accounting  for Mortgage  Servicing
Rights, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65" issued for fiscal years beginning
after  December  15,  1995.  The Company  has adopted  SFAS No. 122 for the year
ending September 30, 1996.  Under SFAS No. 122, when an enterprise  purchases or
originates mortgage loans, and the enterprise sells or securitizes the loans and
retains the servicing  rights  ("Mortgage  Servicing  Rights"),  the  enterprise
should allocate the cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage  servicing rights
and the loans based upon their relative fair values.  Currently,  because of the
small  volume of mortgage  loan  originations,  the  majority  of the  Company's
originations  are sold with mortgage loan servicing  released to the purchasers.
As a result,  management does not anticipate any material effect  resulting from
the adoption of SFAS No. 122 on the Company's  financial  condition or statement
of operations  for the fiscal year ending  September 30, 1996.  However,  as the
Company increases its origination activity in the future, management anticipates
that a  proportionately  larger share of the mortgage loan servicing rights will
be retained and not sold. At such time, the adoption of SFAS No. 122 may have an
impact on the Company's  financial  condition and  statement of  operations.  As
these effects are directly related to future interest rates and future expenses,
as well as management's  internal decisions  regarding retention of such rights,
it is currently impossible to quantify the impact of such events.

     SFAS No. 122 also  requires  establishment  of valuation  allowance for the
excess of the carrying  amount of  capitalized  Mortgage  Servicing  Rights over
estimated fair value. On a periodic basis for purposes of measuring  impairment,
Mortgage  Servicing Rights are  disaggregated and stratified on predominant risk
characteristics, primarily loan type, interest rate and investor type.

Results of Operations

     The Company is a diversified  residential  mortgage  banker which services,
originates  and, in most cases,  sells  mortgage  loans  secured by  one-to-four
family  residences.  The  Company  provides a range of  mortgage  loan  products
including,  but not  limited  to fixed  rate and  adjustable  rate  loans with a
variety of terms.

Six and Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Six and Three
Months Ended March 31, 1995

Overview:  The Company had a net loss, before preferred  dividends,  of $303,000
and $86,000,  respectively  for the six and three month  periods ended March 31,
1996 compared to a net loss of $428,000 and $281,000,  respectively, for the six
and three  month  periods  ended March 31,  1995.  The  Company  paid  preferred
dividends in the amount of $96,000 for each of the six month periods ended March
31, 1996 and March 31, 1995,  and in the amount of $48,000 for each of the three
month  periods  ended  March  31,  1996 and March 31,  1995,  respectively.  The
decrease in loss to $303,000  for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 from
$428,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1995 resulted  primarily  from
an increase in mortgage  servicing and subservicing  income to $1.2 million from
$523,000  partially  offset by an increase  in  amortization  of  mortgage  loan
servicing rights to $540,000 from $150,000. The decrease in loss to $86,000 from
$281,000 for the three month  period ended March 31, 1996  compared to the three
month period end March 31, 1995 resulted  primarily from an increase in mortgage
servicing and subservicing income to $631,000 from $205,000, partially offset by
an increase in amortization  of mortgage loan servicing  rights to $270,000 from
$120,000.

Loan Servicing:  Mortgage  servicing and  subservicing  income increased to $1.2
million from  $523,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to
the six month  period  ended  March  31,  1995,  an  increase  of  approximately
$710,000,  or 135.8%.  This increase  primarily resulted from the acquisition of
DMC and the ASC-PMSR.  Mortgage  servicing and subservicing  income increased to
$631,000  from $205,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 compared
to the three months ended March 31, 1995, an increase of $426,000, approximately
207.8%.  This increase also resulted  primarily from the  acquisition of DMC and
the ASC-PMSR.

Loan  Origination:  Loan  origination  income includes loan origination fees and
other  processing and closing fees.  Loan  origination  income for the six month
period ended March 31, 1996 was $154,000  compared to no origination  income for
the six month period ended March 31, 1995.  There was no origination  income for
the six month  period  ended  March 31, 1995 due to the  discontinuation  of the
manufactured  housing  origination  business by the  Company.  Loan  origination
income for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 was $83,000.

Interest  Income:  Interest income for the six month period ended March 31, 1996
was $60,000  compared to $31,000 for the six month  period ended March 31, 1995.
The increase of $29,000,  approximately  93.5% resulted primarily from increased
interest  income on the  Company's  portfolio  of mortgage  loans held for sale.
Interest  income for the three  month  period  ended  March 31, 1996 was $56,000
compared to $6,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1995. The increase
of $50,000,  approximately  833.3%,  resulted  from the Company  increasing  its
portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale to approximately $2.7 million at March
31, 1996  compared to $52,000 at March 31,  1995 as the Company  liquidated  its
portfolio due to the  discontinuation  of the manufactured  housing  origination
business.

Gain on Sale of Mortgage  Loans Held for Sale:  Gain on sale of  mortgage  loans
held for sale was $17,000 for the six and three  month  periods  ended March 31,
1996,  respectively.  There was no gain on the sale of  mortgage  loans held for
sale  for the six and  three  month  periods  ended  March  31,  1995 due to the
discontinuation of the manufactured housing origination business.

Gain on Sale of Mortgage Loan  Servicing  Rights:  Gain on sale of mortgage loan
servicing rights was $38,000 for the six and three month periods ended March 31,
1996. The gain resulted  primarily from the sale of the servicing  rights on the
Company's  approximately $20.0 million land contract portfolio.  The Company did
not sell any  mortgage  loan  servicing  rights  during the six and three  month
periods ended March 31, 1995.

Other Income:  Other income was $59,000 for the six month period ended March 31,
1996.  There was no other  income for the six month period ended March 31, 1995.
Other income for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 was $30,000.

Compensation  and Benefits:  Compensation and benefits were $707,000 for the six
month period ended March 31, 1996  compared to $491,000 for the six month period
ended March 31, 1995. The increase of $216,000,  approximately  44.0%,  resulted
primarily from the  acquisition  of DMC,  partially  offset by staff  reductions
resulting from the closing of the Company's  servicing office in Dallas,  Texas.
Compensation  and  benefits for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 were
$349,000  compared to $225,000  for the three month period ended March 31, 1995.
The increase of  $124,000,  approximately  55.1%,  resulted  primarily  from the
acquisition  of DMC  partially  offset by the  closing of the  Dallas  servicing
office and branch origination offices during the 1995 period.

Office Occupancy:  Office occupancy expense was $96,000 for the six month period
ended March 31, 1996  compared to $67,000 for the six month  period  ended March
31, 1995. The increase of $29,000,  approximately 43.3%, resulted primarily from
the acquisition of DMC, which maintains a loan  origination  office in Minnesota
and a loan servicing center in Michigan.  Office occupancy expense for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 was $49,000  compared to $36,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1995. The increase of $13,000, approximately 36.1%,
resulted  from  the  acquisition  of DMC and the  related  expenses  of its loan
origination and loan servicing offices.

Office Supplies and Expense:  Office supplies and expenses increased to $124,000
for the six month  period  ended March 31, 1996 from  $119,000 for the six month
period  ended  March 31,  1995.  The  increase  of $5,000,  approximately  4.2%,
resulted from increased  operating  costs related to the  acquisition of DMC and
the  ASC-PMSR,  partially  offset by reduced  system costs  attributable  to the
Company's  conversion to a more  efficient  loan  servicing  system during June,
1995.  Office  supplies  and expenses for the three month period ended March 31,
1996 were $66,000 compared to $35,000 for the three month period ended March 31,
1995.  The increase of $31,000,  approximately  88.6%,  resulted  primarily from
additional operating expenses from the acquisition of DMC and the ASC-PMSR.

Professional  Services:  Professional services expenses for the six month period
ended March 31, 1996 were $61,000  compared to $181,000 for the six month period
ended March 31, 1995. The decrease of $120,000,  approximately  66.3%,  resulted
primarily from  additional  expenses  during the 1995 period  resulting from the
Company's  reorganization and  recapitalization.  Professional services expenses
were  $34,000  for the three  month  period  ended  March 31,  1996  compared to
$133,000  for the three month  period  ended  March 31,  1995.  The  decrease of
$99,000,  approximately  74.4%,  resulted  from  additional  reorganization  and
recapitalization expenses during the 1995 period.

Provisions for Loan Losses: There were no additional  provisions for loan losses
for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995,  respectively.
The provision is determined by analysis of such factors as the prevailing  level
of loan delinquencies,  anticipated  reinstatement rates from the various stages
of delinquency,  and loss experience on similar loans serviced. The Company acts
as the agent for the Mortgage Investor in filing the foreclosure  action, and is
indemnified  for all costs,  losses and claims  resulting  from the  foreclosure
process.   Management  believes  that  the  reserve  of  approximately  $184,000
remaining on the Company's  books is  sufficient to cover the limited  amount of
recourse  exposure  in the  loan  servicing  portfolio.  Essentially  all of the
Company's loan originations were sold with servicing  released to the purchaser.
The Company  does not require a loan loss  reserve  for  origination  activities
because it  retained  neither  the loans nor the  servicing  rights of the loans
originated.  The Company's  purchase  during the three months ended December 31,
1994 of $355.0 million in principal  amount of loan servicing rights resulted in
the Company  acquiring  from a private,  non-RTC  seller  servicing  rights to a
residential  mortgage loan portfolio with no delinquency or foreclosure recourse
to the  Company.  The DMC  and  ASC-PMSR  portfolios  were  essentially  without
recourse to the Company.  The investors for whom the  portfolios are serviced by
the Company are responsible for all costs,  losses and claims resulting from the
servicing of the loans,  including loan  delinquencies and foreclosure  actions.
Therefore  no  additional  provision  for loan losses is  required  for the $355
million   acquisition  of  loan  servicing  rights  and  the  DMC  and  ASC-PMSR
portfolios.  In the future, as the Company increases originations with servicing
rights  retained,  the  Company  will review and adjust its  provision  for loan
losses.

Amortization  of Mortgage Loan Servicing  Rights:  Amortization of mortgage loan
servicing  rights for the six month  period  ended March 31,  1996 was  $540,000
compared to $150,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1995. The increase
of  $390,000,   approximately   260.0%,   resulted   primarily  from  additional
amortization due to the November, 1994 acquisition of $355.0 million of mortgage
loan servicing rights, the acquisition of the DMC mortgage loan servicing rights
and the related ASC-PMSR. Amortization of mortgage loan servicing rights for the
three month period  ended March 31, 1996 was  $270,000  compared to $120,000 for
the three  month  period  ended  March  31,  1995.  The  increase  of  $150,000,
approximately 125.0%, resulted primarily from additional amortization due to the
acquisition of the DMC mortgage loan servicing rights and the related ASC-PMSR.

     Management  expects that prepayment  rates for servicing rights will remain
constant or increase slightly.  The effect of lower interest rates, resulting in
potentially  greater  prepayment risk, is counterbalanced by the economic threat
posed by  inflation,  which  stabilizes  or increases  interest  rates,  thereby
reducing  prepayment risk. The Company  anticipates that the long-term  interest
rates will range between 7.50% and 8.50%.  The overall weighted average interest
rate for the Company's portfolio is approximately 7.97%.  Therefore,  management
believes that any material  increase in  prepayments  would not take place until
mortgage interest rates reach or drop below 7.00%.  Currently long-term mortgage
interest rates are approximately 8.50%.

     Nationwide,  prepayment  speeds  for  interest  rates of 9.00% or more have
increased more than 40% during calendar year 1995, prepayment speeds on interest
rates of  8.00% or less  have  remained  constant.  Results  of  operations  and
liquidity for the Company are not likely to be affected materially by changes in
prepayment  speeds unless  mortgage  interest  rates decline to the 7.00% level.
Management  believes,  but cannot assure that if interest  rates were to fall to
the level  where  prepayment  speeds  increase  to the level  where  results  of
operations   and  liquidity  are  affected,   increased  fee  income  from  loan
origination  volume from the  Company's  Minnesota  office  would  significantly
offset the impact on results of operations and liquidity. The Company could seek
to  refinance  that  portion  of its  portfolio  that  was most  susceptible  to
prepayment, retaining the loan servicing rights on the refinanced loans.

     The $355  million  servicing  rights  acquisition  and the DMC and ASC-PMSR
portfolios  were  not  directly  purchased  from the RTC.  The  Company  has not
experienced and does not anticipate any significant or  extraordinary  servicing
costs or problems including delinquencies from these portfolios.

Other  Expenses:  Other  expenses  were  $236,000 for the six month period ended
March 31, 1996 compared to $6,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1995.
Other expenses for the three month period March 31, 1996 were $114,000  compared
to ($50,000) for the three month period ended March 31, 1995.

Income Taxes: There was no income tax provision or benefit for the six month and
three month  periods  ended March 31,  1996.  There was an income tax benefit of
$67,000  for the six and three  month  periods  ended  March 31,  1995.  The tax
benefit for the 1995 periods  resulted  from the  Company's  loss carry  forward
against intangible assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Company's  primary  short-term  liquidity  requirements  are  for  its
mortgage  loan funding and  advances  that it is required to make related to its
obligations as a servicer of loans. These requirements are generally met through
short-term warehouse borrowings and from cash flow from operations.  The Company
also has longer term  liquidity  requirements,  principally  related to acquired
mortgage loan servicing rights, which are funded with longer term debt.

     During the six months  ended March  31,1996 and the six months  ended March
31, 1995, the Company had a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $38,000
and $1.6 million,  respectively.  Net cash used by operating  activities of $2.9
million  for the six  months  ended  March  31,  1996 and net cash  provided  by
operating  activities of $500,000  during the three months ended March 31, 1996,
reflect a net loss of $303,000 and $428,000,  respectively,  plus adjustments to
net loss of $2.6 million and $928,000, respectively, which consisted of non-cash
amortization  of mortgage loan servicing  rights,  an increase in accrued income
and servicing  receivables  and the purchase and sale of mortgage loans held for
sale and the proceeds from such sales. Net cash provided by investing activities
was  $137,000  for the six  months  ended  March  31,  1996 and net cash used by
investing  activities  was $2.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 1995.
Net cash  provided  by  financing  activities  was $2.8  million  and  $401,000,
respectively, for the six month periods ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995,
and was primarily due to an increase in warehouse  borrowings and an increase in
term debt, respectively.

     Changes in the level of mortgage loans held for sale and related  warehouse
debt reflect, among other factors, the general level of, and trends in, mortgage
interest rates, the seasonality of home purchase activity and the discontinuance
of  manufactured  home lending  activities and the shift to  one-to-four  family
residential mortgage lending.

     In order to finance a portion of the  acquisition  of the $355.0 million in
mortgage loan servicing rights, on November 18, 1994, the Company entered into a
nonrevolving  36-month loan agreement with Franklin Federal Bancorp ("Franklin")
in the amount of $2.0 million  which enabled the Company to finance the purchase
of mortgage loan servicing  rights.  The Franklin term loan was refinanced  with
part of the proceeds from a term loan from First Bank (see below). The remainder
of the $3.3  million  purchase  price for the $355.0  million in  mortgage  loan
servicing rights was funded from proceeds from the sale of manufactured  housing
servicing  rights and funds on hand  (primarily from the proceeds of FIS, Inc.s'
private offering of preferred stock, common stock and warrants).

     On April 28, 1995, the Company  acquired all of the issued and  outstanding
stock of DMC, the ASC-PMSR and related assets for  approximately  $2.89 million.
The Company has the right,  within one year,  to require the  repurchase  of any
loans acquired in the  transaction  that do not meet certain Agency  eligibility
standards.  The  Company  made a timely  notification  to ISB of those loans not
meeting Agency  eligibility  standards.  Management  believes that approximately
$500,000 of the loans acquired do not meet such standards.

     The Company  obtained  the  majority of funds used to purchase  DMC and the
other assets  discussed  above from two loans- a $695,489 loan from Barnett Bank
("Barnett")  and a $675,000  loan from Inter  Savings  Bank,  fsb  ("ISB").  The
Barnett loan accrues  interest at .75% over Barnett's prime rate;  interest only
payable  monthly and the  principal  was due and payable on or before  April 27,
1996. In April 1996, in  consideration of the payment of an extension fee by the
Company  equal to .25%  ($1,739),  Barnett  extended the due date of the loan to
July 26,  1996.  The Barnett  loan is  principally  secured by  specific  assets
(bonds,  certificates of deposit, treasury notes and shares of stock) of certain
stockholders of the Company.  The Company has allocated some of the net proceeds
from its planned initial public offering ("IPO"), currently in registration (see
below),  to pay off the Barnett loan. The ISB loan accrued  interest at the rate
of 10% per annum. All the principal and accrued interest under the ISB loan were
repaid on August 30, 1995. Management paid the balance of the purchase price and
repaid the ISB loan from the  proceeds  of a $4.0  million  term loan from First
Bank (see below).

     On August 30, 1995, the Company entered into a credit  agreement with First
Bank,  pursuant  to which  First Bank  committed  to loan the Company up to $4.0
million ("First Term Loan") and provide a warehousing facility to the Company of
up to $5.0 million ("First Warehousing Facility").

     As of the date hereof,  the Company's  outstanding  principal balance under
the First Term Loan is $3.6  million.  The Company used the  proceeds  from this
loan to pay the balance of the purchase  price for DMC, the ASC-PMSR and related
assets, to repay the ISB loan and repay the Franklin term loan.  Principal under
the First Term Loan  accrues  interest  at the fixed rate of 2.75%.  Interest is
payable monthly and five percent of the principal balance is payable  quarterly.
All remaining  principal and accrued interest is payable on or before August 30,
2000 or sooner in the event of a default.  Events of default  include failure to
make required  payments,  breaches of the terms,  representations  or warranties
under the First Credit Agreement and related documents,  insolvency and material
judgments.  The Company  must also  maintain  the  following  minimum  financial
criteria  (as defined in the First  Credit  Agreement):  "Adjusted  Tangible Net
Worth"  ("ATNW") must be at least $2.7 million;  the "Adjusted  Leverage  Ratio"
("ALR") must be no greater than  4.0-to-1.0;  the "Debt Service  Coverage Ratio"
("DSCR")  must be at  least  1.2-to-1.0;  the  aggregate  principal  balance  of
mortgage loans serviced must be at least $500 million; and the report the of the
independent auditor in the Company's audited  consolidated  financial statements
cannot contain a "going concern" explanatory paragraph.

     The  Company  is in default  under the DSCR  financial  requirement  of its
credit agreement with First Bank ("First Credit Agreement") concerning the First
Term Loan and its  warehousing  facility First  Warehousing  Facility with First
Bank.  The  Company's  DSCR at March 31, 1996 was 0.72 to 1.00.  The Company has
requested and received a waiver this of default until September 30, 1996 and has
discussed  with  First  Bank  alternative  actions  to bring  the  Company  into
compliance with all provisions of the First Credit Agreement.  In March 1996 the
Company  converted  $503,000 of debt to equity in the form of Series B Preferred
Stock.  As a result of this  conversion  as of March 31, 1996 the Company was in
compliance  with the  minimum  ATNW  and ALR  requirements  which,  prior to the
conversion,  had been in  default.  First Bank has  requested  that the  Company
suspend  payments of all preferred stock dividends,  approximately  $63,000 on a
quarterly  basis,  until the  Company is in full  compliance  with all terms and
provisions of the First Credit Agreement.

     Payment  under the First  Term Loan is  secured by all of the assets of the
Company,  including  all  servicing  rights owned by the Company and  securities
owned by the Company and FIS,  Inc.  The Company is required to make  additional
payments of principal when the outstanding  principal  balance on the First Term
Loan exceeds the "Qualified Servicing Portfolio Collateral Value" (the lesser of
65% of  qualified  servicing  rights or one percent of the  aggregate  principal
amount of Mortgage Loans serviced.)

     The First Warehousing Facility permits the Company to finance mortgage loan
acquisitions and originations up to an aggregate of $5.0 million. Advances under
the  Facility  may not exceed 100% of the  "Warehouse  Collateral  Value" of the
eligible mortgage loans ("WCV"). The WCV is the lesser of: (a) 98% of the lesser
of the  origination  or  acquisition  price of the mortgage  loan;  the weighted
average purchase price under a Firm or Standby Take-Out Commitment (a commitment
from an  investor to purchase a mortgage  loan  within a specific  time  period,
under which commitment,  respectively, the Company is obligated or has the right
to sell the mortgage  loan);  or the fair market value of the mortgage loan; and
(b) 100% of the remaining unpaid principal balance of the pledged mortgage loan.
A  mortgage  loan will be deemed to have no value WCV if : (i) more than 90 days
elapse  from the date the  mortgage  loan was  pledged;  (ii)  more than 45 days
elapse  from  the date  the  mortgage  loan was  delivered  to an  investor  for
examination  and purchase;  (iii) more than 21 days elapse from the date certain
Collateral documents were delivered to an investor for correction or completion;
(iv) a delinquency  of at least 60 days occurred on the mortgage  loan;  (v) the
mortgage loan ceases to be an eligible  mortgage loan (i.e.,  it is not entirely
owned by the Company, it does not qualify as an Agency eligible mortgage loan or
it does not qualify for purchase under an existing Take-Out Commitment); or (vi)
First Bank notifies the Company that, in its  reasonable  opinion,  the mortgage
loan is not  marketable.  Interest  is charged  based upon one of the  following
three methods:  "Fixed Rate," "Reference Rate" or Floating Eurodollar Rate." The
applicable method of interest  calculation is at the option of the Company.  The
Fixed  Rate is a rate  equal to  2.75%  for the Term  Loan  and  1.875%  for the
Warehouse  Loan.  The Company must maintain at First Bank  unencumbered  deposit
balances equal to one hundred  percent (100%) of the loan balances  outstanding,
plus,  regulatory reserve  requirements,  in order to obtain the Fixed Rate. The
Company maintains  sufficient balances as of the date hereof to obtain the Fixed
Rate. In the event that deposit  balances drop below one hundred  percent (100%)
of the loan balances  outstanding,  the Company will pay a fee on the deficiency
at a floating  per annum rate which is tied to the "Libor  rate." The  Reference
Rate is equal to the bank's  published  rate for its  customers,  more  commonly
known as the "prime rate." The Floating  Eurodollar Rate, more commonly known as
the  "Libor  rate,"  is based on the daily  London  Interbank  Offered  Rates as
published  in the Wall Street  Journal,  plus 1.875% for  borrowing  against the
Warehouse Loan and 2.75% for borrowings  against the Term Loan. The Company also
pays a monthly  facility  fee of  approximately  $1,000.  The Company  must also
maintain  the  above  discussed  minimum  criteria.   Payment  under  the  First
Warehousing Facility is secured by all assets of the Company.

     Immediately  upon  acquisition of DMC and the assets and operations of ASC,
the Company effected significant cost reductions,  including the following:  (I)
reducing staff by  approximately  80% in the Minnesota office of DMC, the effect
of such  actions  was to reduce  monthly  personnel  expenses  by  approximately
$60,000  without  effecting  income;  (ii) closing the Dallas,  Texas  servicing
center and consolidating servicing operations in Troy, Michigan,  effective June
1, 1995, thereby saving the Company  approximately  $75,000 in monthly personnel
and other operating expenses;  (iii) replacing the Company's mainframe servicing
software with a less expensive and more efficient  computer network system, as a
result of which,  the system support staff for the mainframe based system was no
longer  needed and these  positions  were  eliminated.  The effect of these cost
savings  has  reduced  expenses  to a level at which  the  Company's  management
believes that the Company can operate profitably.

     In addition to the cost cutting activities  mentioned above and in "Results
of Operations" above, the Company's  refinancing of the Franklin debt with First
Bank  resulted  in  additional  savings.  Interest  on the  First  Bank  debt is
calculated  at 2.75% on a fixed rate basis,  resulting  in an annual  savings of
approximately  $35,000.  The term of the loan has been  extended  to sixty  (60)
months,  resulting in annual cash savings of approximately  $225,000.  The First
Term Loan also  provided  funding for the balance of the purchase  price due DMC
and refinanced the ISB loan.  Annual cash savings resulting from refinancing the
Franklin  debt is equal to  approximately  fifty (50) percent of the annual debt
service for the balance of the term loan,  which was used to  refinance  the ISB
loan and to fund the balance  due on the DMC  acquisition.  Management  believes
that the Company is currently generating sufficient cash flow from operations to
meet debt service obligations on the term loan with First Bank.

     Pursuant to an agreement  between the Company and the  Government  National
Mortgage  Association  ("GNMA") that was in effect prior to February  1992,  the
Company was required to establish two  restricted  cash  accounts  totaling $1.0
million.  Prior to September 30, 1994 and in  accordance  with the terms of this
agreement,  the Company had withdrawn  approximately $300,000. In February 1995,
GNMA  released  the  restrictions  placed on these  Company cash  accounts  thus
releasing  approximately  $700,000  in funds to the  Company  for the use in its
operations.

     The Company  continues to maintain a restricted  cash account in the amount
of $255,000  which was  established  as the result of a loan sale and  servicing
agreement  entered  into in July 1992.  The  Company can only use these funds to
reimburse itself as servicer for expenses it advances in collection,  bankruptcy
and collateral protection concerning these loans. Additionally, the purchaser of
these loans has a security interest in these accounts and may make claim to them
to reimburse  purchaser for losses  attributable  to loan defaults.  The Company
believes  that this  restricted  cash amount is  sufficient  to cover any future
collection,  bankruptcy and collateral protection losses and expenses related to
these loans.

     In May 1996, the Company plans to raise $200,000 in a private offering to a
foreign investor. If the offering is completed,  as to which no assurance can be
given,  the Company will used the proceeds  therefrom to pay  professional  fees
related to the IPO.

Planned Initial Public Offering

     The Company has filed a  registration  statement  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  to register  shares of its common  stock and common  stock
purchase  warrants  for  sale  to  the  public.   The  Company  hopes  to  raise
approximately  $5.7 million in net proceeds from the IPO.  Management hopes, but
cannot assure,  that the IPO will be completed in June 1996. No assurance can be
given as to if when the IPO will close

Potential Liability. HOFCA has received informal notice from GNMA of a potential
claim wherein the Company, under its former ownership and management,  allegedly
overcharged GNMA under the terms of certain sub-servicing agreements. Management
believes that this claims is  essentially  without merit and special  counsel to
the Company has reviewed the claim and the  relevant  transactions  has informed
the Company of its belief that these are reasonable  defenses to GNMA's claim in
any amount  which  might be  material to the  Company.  However,  if this matter
results in  substantial  liability,  the Company's  business could be materially
adversely affected.

Expansion Plans

     The  Company's  strategy in the  mortgage  banking  area is to increase the
size,  diversity  and quality of its mortgage  loan  servicing  portfolio and to
expand  its  origination  operations.   The  Company's  acquisition  of  DMC  is
consistent  with this  strategy.  The Company  plans to increase the size of its
mortgage  loan  servicing  portfolio  by  selectively  acquiring  mortgage  loan
servicing rights and by retaining the servicing rights on a portion of the loans
that it originates.  Management believes that the Company currently has the loan
servicing capacity to increase the size of its mortgage loan servicing portfolio
by an additional 40,000 loans without incurring  significant  additional capital
expenditures  or  fixed  costs.  By  increasing  the size of the  mortgage  loan
servicing portfolio and consolidating the mortgage loan servicing  operations of
DMC and HOFCA into DMC's Troy,  Michigan facility,  management believes that the
Company  can  enhance  its  mortgage  loan   servicing   efficiency  and  become
profitable.  Moreover, the Company believes that increasing the size, diversity,
type and quality of its  mortgage  loan  servicing  portfolio  will enable it to
reduce the effects of prepayments  resulting from fluctuations in interest rates
and defaults resulting from regional economic downturns.

     The Company has allocated  approximately $4.0 million from the net proceeds
of  the  IPO  to  expand  its  mortgage  loan  servicing  portfolio.  Management
anticipates that such funds will enable the Company to purchase servicing rights
to  mortgage  loans with  between  $350  million and $450  million in  principal
balances.

     The Company has begun the process of expanding its  origination  activities
by acquiring DMC and by purchasing  and reselling  whole loan  portfolios  while
retaining the servicing  rights.  Through the acquisition and expansion of DMC's
origination  operations and whole loan  activity,  the Company hopes to increase
the volume of new loan  originations  to a level where  originations  exceed the
volume of prepayments experienced in its mortgage loan servicing portfolio.
