      FINANCIAL CONDITION

      Beal Financial Corporation ("Beal Financial" and with it's subsidiaries,
the "Company"), the parent company of Beal Bank, (the "Bank") had total assets
of $1.4 billion at June 30, 1999 and at December 31, 1998. Although total assets
remained unchanged, the composition of the assets changed slightly as cash and
cash equivalents increased $28.1 million or 38.9%, and net loans receivable
increased $22.6 million or 2.17%. These increases were offset by decreases in
securities available for sale of $12.1 million or 13.5%, real estate held for
investment or sale of $3.8 million or 3.6% and in other assets of $3.3 million
or 29.0%.

      The increase in net loans receivable was primarily due to an increase of
$52.6 million in single-family residential loans due to bulk loan purchases of
primarily performing, well seasoned loans and the origination of $25.6 million
of development loans partially offset by declines in commercial and multi-family
loans.

      Total liabilities at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 were $1.2
billion. Deposit accounts increased $31.8 million and Federal Home Loan Bank
advances increased $15.0 million. The increases funded the increase in net loans
receivable discussed above. Other liabilities, increased $20.1 million,
primarily due to a $17.0 million dividend payable that was declared but not paid
until July, 1999.

      Stockholders' equity decreased $33.8 million from $191.2 million at
December 31, 1998 to $157.5 million at June 30, 1999. The decrease was primarily
due to the accounting treatment of a $60.0 million note receivable from Beal
Financial's major stockholder. This loan was recorded as a Note Receivable and
treated as a deduction to capital. Stockholder's equity also reflects net income
of $64.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, dividends declared to
shareholders since December 31, 1998 of $35.5 million and a decrease in
unrealized gains on investment securities of $3.0 million.

      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998

      NET INCOME. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net income of $64.7
million represented an increase of $12.9 million or 24.9% from the six months
ended June 30, 1998. As discussed in more detail below, the increase was
primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $15.9 million, offset by
an increase in provision for loan losses of $851,000, a decrease in non-interest
income of $937,000, an increase in non-interest expense of $396,000 and an
increase in income taxes of $839,000.

      INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased $17.5 million or 22.2%, from
$78.7 million at June 30, 1998 to $96.2 million at June 30, 1999. Of the total
increase in interest income, $20.7 million was due to an increase in interest
income on loans, including fees (one relationship accounted for approximately
$9.5 million of this increase), partially offset by decreases in purchased
discount accretion of $2.8 million and $345,000 in interest income on investment
securities. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $219.9
million during this period, as compared to the same period a year ago, primarily
due to an increase in average net loans receivable of $221.2 million. The net
interest rate spread increased slightly from 9.6% for the period ended June 30,
1998 to 9.8% for the same period ended June 30, 1999.

      INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 5.2%, from
$29.8 million at June 30, 1998 to $31.4 million at June 30, 1999. The increase
resulted primarily from the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities
increasing $163.4 million to $1.2 billion at June 30, 1999, partially offset by
a decline in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities from 6.0% at
June 30, 1998 to 5.4% at June 30, 1999. The increase in average interest-
bearing liabilities was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of
deposits of $87.3 million and in the average balance of FHLB advances of $76.3
million.

      PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses is determined by
management as an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at
a level considered adequate to absorb future losses inherent in the loan
portfolio in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
provision for loan losses increased $851,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1998. The allowance for
losses as a percentage of net loans receivable decreased from 1.3% at June 30,
1998 to 1.2% at June 30, 1999, along with non accrual loans which decreased
$23.8 million during the same six months ending June 30, 1999.

      The Company establishes an allowance for loan losses based upon a
systematic analysis of risk factors in the loan portfolio as well as a specific
analysis of certain impaired loans. This analysis includes an evaluation of the
Company's loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, current economic
conditions, loan volume and growth, composition of the loan portfolio and other
relevant factors. Management's analysis results in the establishment of
allowance amounts by loan type based on allocations by asset classification. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net non-performing loans was 13.7%
at June 30, 1999 as compared to 8.4% at June 30, 1998. Net non-performing loans
decreased $32.3 million from $123.5 million at June 30, 1998 to $95.0 million at
June 30, 1999.

      Although management believes that it uses the best information available
to determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could
result in adjustments and net earnings could be significantly affected if
circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final
determination. Future additions to the Company's allowance for loan losses will
be the result of periodic loan, property and collateral reviews and thus cannot
be predicted wit absolute certainty in advance. In addition, bank regulatory


                                       6
<PAGE>



agencies, as an integral part of the examination process, periodically review
the company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the company
to recognize additions to the allowance level based upon their judgement of the
information available to them at the time of their examination.

      NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income decreased $937,000, or 5.6%
to $15.8 million at June 30, 1999 from $16.8 million at June 30, 1998. This
decrease was due primarily to a $1.8 million decrease in other real estate
operations, net, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in other operating
income, due to the Company's collection of a loan deficiency.

      NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense increased slightly, by
$396,000, or 4.0% to $10.3 million at June 30, 1999, from $9.9 million at June
30, 1998. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $337,000 in salaries
and employee benefits and an increase in other operating expenses of $201,000,
partially offset by a decrease in occupancy and equipment of $161,000.

      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998

      NET INCOME. For the three months ended June 30, 1999, net income of $42.1
million represented an increase of $11.2 million, or 36.1% from the three months
ended June 30, 1998. As discussed in more detail below, the increase was
primarily due to an increase in net interest income, of $12.9 million, partially
offset by the increases in provision for loan losses of $1.1 million, in
non-interest expense of $373,000 and in income taxes of $273,000.

      INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased $14.1 million, or 35.3%, from
$39.9 million at June 30, 1998 to $54.0 million at June 30, 1999. Of the total
increase in interest income, $15.2 million was due to an increase in interest
income on loans, including fees, partially offset by a decrease in purchased
discount accretion of $617,000 and a decrease in interest income on investment
securities of $456,000. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased
$266.0 million during this period, as compared to the same period a year ago,
primarily due to an increase in average net loans receivable of $279.0 million.
The net interest spread increased from 10.45% for the three months ended June
30, 1998 to 11.57% for the same period ending June 30, 1999 primarily due to an
increase in yield on average interest-earning assets from 16.46% to 16.97% for
the three month periods ending June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1999, respectively.



                                       7
<PAGE>



      INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increase $1.2 million, or 8.5%, to
$15.5 million at June 30, 1999 from $14.3 million at June 30, 1998. The increase
resulted from the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increasing
$197.1 million to $1.1 billion at June 30, 1999 partially offset by a decline in
the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities from 6.01% at June 30,
1998 to 5.40% at June 30, 1999. The increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities was due to an increase in the average balance of deposits of $119.8
million and an increase in average FHLB advances of $77.1 million.

      PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses is determined by
management as an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at
a level considered adequate to absorb future losses inherent in the loan
portfolio in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
provision for loan losses increased $1.1 million or 340.0% for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 as compared to a recovery of $309,000 during the three
months ended June 30, 1998. This increase was due primarily to an increase in
the general reserve as a result of a bulk purchase of $121.9 million, gross,
first lien, primarily performing, well seasoned, single-family residential loans
in the first quarter of 1999.

      NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income remained constant at $12.1
million at June 30, 1998 and 1999. A $1.6 million increase in gain on real
estate transactions, offset a $1.6 million net decrease in other real estate
operations.

      NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense increased $373,000, or 7.2%
from $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $5.6 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to an
increase of $289,000 in other operating expenses and an increase of $102,000 in
salaries and employee benefits, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy and
equipment expense of $40,000.

      FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION.

      FEDERAL TAXATION. Beal Financial and all its subsidiaries have elected
Subchapter-S status for federal income tax purposes. Concurrent with the change
to Subchapter-S status, Beal Financial and all subsidiaries changed their tax
and fiscal year-ends to December 31, from their previous June 30 year-ends.

      Beal Financial generally will not pay any federal taxes on net income. The
only exception will involve possible Subchapter-C tax liabilities on net
built-in gains as of January 1, 1997, which may be recognized during the 10 year
period ending December 31, 2006. Recognition of built-in gains/losses are also
subject to certain limitations. Approximately $1.8 million of the tax expense
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, related to tax on recognized built-in


                                       8
<PAGE>



gains. It is not anticipated that the tax expense related to recognized built-in
gains would be material in any given quarter.

      The future tax liability for the taxable earnings of Beal Financial will
be the responsibility of the shareholders of Beal Financial. The Board of
Directors of Beal Financial, on August 11, 1999, declared a dividend payable to
the shareholders of $4.0 million. The dividend was paid to the shareholders on
August 13, 1999. It is anticipated that future dividend to shareholders will be
declared in an amount equal to at least their tax liability related to the
earnings of Beal Financial.

      TEXAS STATE INCOME TAXATION. Beal Financial currently files Texas
franchise tax returns. Texas imposes a franchise tax on the taxable income of
savings institutions and other corporations. The franchise tax equals the
greater of $2.50 per $1,000 of taxable capital apportioned to Texas, of $45.00
per $1,000 of net taxable earned surplus apportioned to Texas. Taxable earned
surplus is the federal corporate taxable income of each company within the
corporate group determined on a separate company basis with certain
modifications. Approximately $1.9 million of the tax expense for the six month
ended June 30, 1999, related to franchise tax, primarily Texas franchise tax.

      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company's primary sources of funds for operations are deposits
obtained from its market area, principal and interest payments on loans,
brokered deposits, and advances from the FHLB of Dallas and to a lesser extent,
from the sale of assets. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans
are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are
greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and
competition.

      The primary investing activity of the Company has been the purchase of
discounted loans from various U.S. government agencies through the sealed bid
process or auctions and from private sector sellers. During the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999, the Company purchased $24.9 million and
$148.1 million of net loans, respectively as compared to purchases of $0 million
and $1.2 million for the same periods ended last year.

      Loan originated during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999
totaled $34.7 million and $56.5 million, respectively as compared to $7.8
million and $17.5 million for the same periods last year.

      The Company's primary financing activity has been the attraction of
deposits. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company experienced an
increase in deposits of $31.8 million, primarily comprised of a decrease in
retail deposits of $77.2 million and an increase of $109.0 million in brokered
deposits.



                                       9
<PAGE>



      The Company has the ability to borrow additional funds from the FHLB by
pledging assets as collateral, subject to certain restrictions. At June 30,
1999, the Company had an undrawn advance arrangement with the FHLB for $173.9
million.

      The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as
defined by the Texas Savings and Loan Department ("Texas Department"). Unless
approved in advance by the Texas Department, a Texas savings bank is required to
maintain a minimum of 10% of the previous quarters average deposits in liquid
assets. At June 30, 1999, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 17.2%.

      The Company's most liquid asset is cash and cash equivalents. The level of
cash equivalents is dependent on the company's operating, financing, and
investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 1999 the Company had
cash and cash equivalents of $100.2 million.

      The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to
meet its current foreseeable commitments. At June 30, 1999, the Company had
commitments to originate loans of $10.9 million and no outstanding commitments
to purchase loans. Certificates of deposits which are scheduled to mature in one
year of less at June 30, 1999 totaled $812.5 million. Due to the Company's high
interest rate spread, management has typically relied upon interest rate
sensitive short-term deposits to fund its loan purchases. The Company believes
that its overall cost of raising deposits is less then those institutions that
raise deposits through a costly branch network. Because of the Company's high
yield on interest-earning assets, the Company believes the potential interest
rate risk of relying on short-term deposits is acceptable and that it can
maintain an acceptable net interest spread.

      At June 30, 1999, the Bank exceeded each of its three capital
requirements. The following is a summary of the Bank's regulatory capital
position at June 30, 1999.

                                        AT JUNE 30, 1999

Total risk-based capital      96,897   10.0%       209,954      21.7%

      On October 13, 1997, the Texas Department notified the Bank's Board of
Directors that they were rescinding the requirement that the Bank maintain
minimum capital requirements of 9% for Tier 1 capital and 11% for risk-based
capital, based upon an acceptable business plan submitted to the Texas
Department by the Bank. The business plan on file with the Texas Department
generally anticipates a decline in total assets, absent the Company being the
successful bidder for additional bulk asset purchases; a continued improvement
in the company's level of classified assets; the discontinuation of the
company's foreign lending program; and the Bank maintaining a Tier 1 capital
ratio of at least 10%. The Texas Department must be provided with prior written

<PAGE>



notice of any actions planned or anticipated that might reasonably be expected
to result in a material deviation form the business plan. The Bank requested and
received approval to deviate from the business plan during the last quarter of
1998 due to the bulk purchase of single family residential loans. The Bank is in
the process of revising its business plan. It is anticipated that the revised
business plan will show continued growth, a manageable level of classified
assets and the Bank maintaining its well capitalized status.

      IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

      The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented herein
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in
terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is
reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Nearly all the
assets and liabilities of the corporation are financial, unlike most industrial
companies. As a result, the Company's performance is directly impacted by
changes in interest rates, which are indirectly influenced by inflationary
expectations. Since the Company has historically placed more emphasis on
increasing net interest margin rather than on matching the maturities of
interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, changes in interest rates may
have a greater impact on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations. Changes in investment rates do not necessarily move to the same
extent as changes in the price of goods and services.

      RATIOS OF EARNING TO FIXED CHARGES

      The company's consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 are set forth below. Earnings used in computing
the ratios shown consist of earnings from continuing operations before taxes and
interest expense. Fixed charges, excluding interest on deposits, represent
interest expense on borrowings. Fixed charges, including interest on deposits,
represent all of the foregoing items plus interest on deposits. Interest expense
(other than on deposits) includes interest on FHLB borrowings, the Senior Notes
and other borrowed funds.
