PART III NARRATIVE State below in reasonable detail why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.) CFI Mortgage completed the sale of its subsidiary Bankers Direct Mortgage Corporation "BDMC" on August 31, 1998. We are in the process of separating the Books and records of the companies in order to complete the appropriate pro forma financial information. The amount of work involved in this process could not be completed by the due date without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the company anticipates closing a significant capital transaction by the end of this week that will have a material effect on the company's financial condition. Due to these facts management felt it was appropriate to delay filing of this form 10-QSB in order to include the appropriate pro forma financial and capital transaction information. However, there can be no assurance that this capital transaction will close prior to the extended filing deadline of the 10-QSB. PART IV OTHER INFORMATION (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification Christopher C. Castoro 561 687-1595 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number) (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s). [X] Yes [_] No (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? [X] Yes [_ No If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. The Form 10-QSB for the Company is expected to show a pre-tax loss on operations of approximately $3,664,071 or $1.54 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1998. This compares with a loss of $684,177 or $0.31 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The major factors influencing the increased loss over last year comparable period were as follows: An increase in the third quarter of 1998 over 1997 in General and Administrative expenses of $1.5 million consisting of Salary increases attributable to newly opened Direct Mortgage Partner branch offices, increased Loan loss provisions and legal and professional fees associated with capital raising efforts. In additional Commission and Fees income in the third quarter 1998 decreased by $842,440 as compared to the comparable period in 1997. Comparative numbers may be misleading due to the following: Third quarter information for September 30, 1997 includes three full months of operations of BDMC and one full month for Direct Mortgage Partners, Inc. "DMP". Third quarter information for September 30, 1998 includes two full months of operations of BDMC and three full months for DMP. The operating loss in the current quarter was influenced by a number of factors. Total Revenue, Commission & Fees, were lower in the Third quarter due to the Sale of Bankers Direct Mortgage Corporation at August 31, 1998, one of CFI Mortgage Inc. subsidiaries. In addition, the closing of a few unprofitable Branch operations and management review of operations and production to determine the most profitable product types were contributing factors to the reduced revenue. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter) Has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
