NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On May 13, 1996, RMC completed its sale of various RMC  affiliates.  Included in
the affiliates  sold is Meritech  Mortgage  Services,  Inc.,  which is the major
servicer for the Company's Collateral for CMOs.




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

Merit  Securities  Corporation  (the  Company) was  incorporated  in Virginia on
August  19,  1994 as a  wholly  owned,  limited-purpose  finance  subsidiary  of
Resource Mortgage Capital, Inc. (RMC).

The Company was organized to facilitate  the  securitization  of mortgage  loans
through  the  issuance  and sale of  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  (the
Bonds).  The Bonds will be secured  primarily by: (i.) mortgage loans secured by
first or second liens on residential  property,  (ii.) Federal National Mortgage
Association  Mortgage-Backed  Certificates,  (iii.)  Federal Home Loan  Mortgage
Corporation  Mortgage-Backed  Certificates,  (iv.) Government  National Mortgage
Association   Mortgage-Backed   Certificates,   and  (v.)  any  other   mortgage
pass-through certificates or mortgage-collateralized  obligations (collectively,
the Collateral).

After  payment  of  the  expenses  of an  offering  and  certain  administrative
expenses,  the net  proceeds  from an offering of Bonds will be used to purchase
Collateral  from RMC or various  third  parties.  RMC can be expected to use the
proceeds  to reduce  indebtedness  incurred  to obtain  such loans or to acquire
additional Collateral.  After the issuance of a series of Bonds, the Company may
sell the  Collateral  securing that series of Bonds,  subject to the lien of the
Bonds.

During the three months ended March 31, 1996,  the Company issued one (1) series
of Bonds totaling  approximately $582 million aggregate  principal amount. As of
March 31,  1996,  the Company had four (4) series of CMOs  outstanding  totaling
approximately  $1,196  million,  compared to $665  million at December 31, 1995.
Interest  income on collateral  for CMOs  increased $15 million to $17.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $2.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 reflecting the higher balance of collateral for CMOs
resulting  from the  additional  issuances  during 1995 and the first quarter of
1996. Interest and CMO related expense increased $14.6 from $1.9 million for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1995 to $16.5  million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 resulting from the higher level of Bonds outstanding at March 31,
1996.

At March 31, 1996,  the Company had  securities  of  approximately  $1.6 billion
remaining for issuance under a registration  statement filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Company anticipates issuing additional Bonds in the
future.

The  Company  competes  in a national  market with other  private  conduits  and
various financial firms. Economic conditions, interest rates, regulatory changes
and market dynamics all influence the mortgage securities market.
