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 Dynex
Capital, Inc. (Dynex), formerly Resource Mortgage Capital, Inc. On September 4,
1997, Issuer Holding Corporation, Inc. (IHC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Dynex, acquired all of the outstanding stock of the company and certain other
affiliates of Dynex.
The Company was organized to facilitate the securitization of loans through the
issuance and sale of collateralized bonds (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). In the
future, The Company may also securitize other types of loans, such as consumer
installment loans and commercial loans.
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 IHC or various third parties. IHC 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.
The Company did not issue any Bonds during the three months ended March 31,
1997. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had six (6) series of collateralized
bonds outstanding totaling approximately $2.3 billion, compared to $2.5 billion
at December 31, 1996, and $1.3 billion at March 31, 1996. Interest income on the
Collateral increased $25.2 million to $42.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 compared to $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996 as a result of the increased number of series outstanding. Interest expense
on Bonds increased $23.4 from $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996 to $39.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 primarily due to
the additional series outstanding.
At March 31, 1997, the Company had securities of approximately $2.2 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.
