                            CITYSCAPE FINANCIAL CORP.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)

1. Organization

     Cityscape  Financial  Corp.  ("Cityscape"  or the  "Company") is a consumer
finance  company that,  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Cityscape  Corp.
("CSC"),  engages  in the  business  of  originating,  purchasing,  selling  and
servicing  mortgage loans secured  primarily by one- to four-family  residences.
The  majority  of the  Company's  loans  are made to  owners  of  single  family
residences  who use the loan proceeds for such  purposes as debt  consolidation,
financing of home  improvements and educational  expenditures,  among others. In
the United  States,  the Company is licensed to do business in 37 states and the
District of Columbia.  The Company commenced operations in the United Kingdom in
May 1995 with the formation of City Mortgage Corporation Limited ("CSC-UK"),  an
English  corporation  that  originates,  sells and  services  loans in  England,
Scotland  and Wales in which  the  Company  initially  held a 50%  interest  and
subsequently  purchased  the  remaining  50% on September 30, 1995 (See Note 3).
CSC-UK had no operations and no predecessor prior to May 1995.

2.  Basis of Presentation

     The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and the  instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all
the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted   accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all
adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals,  considered necessary for a
fair  presentation  of the results for the  interim  period have been  included.
Operating  results for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 are not  necessarily
indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ended  December 31,
1996. The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements and the information
included  under the heading  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition  and Results of  Operations"  should be read in  conjunction  with the
consolidated  financial statements and related notes of the Company for the year
ended December 31, 1995.

     The consolidated  financial  statements of the Company include the accounts
of CSC and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries and beginning in May 1995, CSC-UK. All
significant  intercompany  balances and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in
consolidation.  The CSC Acquisition, the UK Acquisition, the J&J Acquisition and
the Heritable  Acquisition (as such terms are defined below) have been accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting and, more  specifically with respect
to the CSC  Acquisition  only,  a "reverse  acquisition"  as described in Note 3
below.

     Certain  amounts in the statements  have been  reclassified to conform with
the 1996 classifications.

3.   Acquisitions

     On April 27,  1994,  Mandi of Essex,  Ltd.,  ("Essex")  acquired all of the
capital stock of CSC in an acquisition in which the shareholders of CSC acquired
beneficial  ownership of 16,560,000  shares or 92% of Essex's  common stock (the
"CSC  Acquisition").  In connection with the CSC Acquisition,  Essex changed its
name to Cityscape  Financial  Corp.  From the date of its formation  through the
date of the CSC Acquisition,  Essex's activities were limited to (i) the sale of
initial shares in connection  with its  organization,  (ii) a registered  public
offering  of  securities  and (iii) the pursuit of a  combination,  by merger or
acquisition.  The CSC  Acquisition  was  effective  as of  January  1,  1994 for
financial reporting purposes.

     The CSC  Acquisition  and the  issuance  of common  stock to the former CSC
shareholders  resulted in the former  shareholders  of CSC  obtaining a majority
voting interest in the Company. Generally accepted accounting principles require
that the company whose  shareholders  retain the majority interest in a combined
business be treated as the acquirer for accounting  purposes.  As a consequence,
the CSC  Acquisition  has been  accounted  for as a  "reverse  acquisition"  for
financial reporting purposes and CSC is deemed to have acquired 100% interest in
the Company, as of the date of the acquisition.


                                       5



     In January 1994, CSC acquired  Astrum Funding Corp.  ("Astrum") in exchange
for  6.25% of the  outstanding  shares  of the  Company.  This  transaction  was
accounted for using the purchase  method of accounting.  The Astrum  acquisition
resulted in the Company acquiring net assets of $1,185 and obtaining licenses to
act as a  mortgage  banker  in 11  states  in which it had not  previously  been
licensed.  No  additional  fair  market  value was  assigned  to the net  assets
received.  Although the Company acquired the new licenses earlier than if it had
applied for licensing on its own, the Company assigned no value to such licenses
because  they could  have been  obtained  independently.  Further,  the  Company
determined  that due to the  illiquidity  of the Company's  stock as well as the
relatively  minimal interest granted to the Astrum  shareholders,  the Company's
stock had no fair value in excess of the net assets received in the acquisition.

     In May 1995,  the Company and three  principals of a privately  held United
Kingdom-based  mortgage  banker  formed  CSC-UK.  CSC-UK  operates in the United
Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland, the "UK"), and lends to individuals who are
unable to obtain mortgage  financing from conventional  mortgage sources such as
banks and  building  societies  because of  impaired or  unsubstantiated  credit
histories and/or unverifiable income. On September 29, 1995, the Company entered
into an agreement with the three other  shareholders  of CSC-UK to acquire their
50%  interest  in CSC-UK not then owned by the Company  through the  issuance of
3,600,000  shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at $21.6 million (the "UK
Acquisition"). The UK Acquisition was completed as of September 30, 1995. The UK
Acquisition  resulted  in the  recognition  of $19.7  million  of  goodwill.  In
addition  to  the  goodwill,  the  Company  acquired  assets  of  $9.0  million,
consisting primarily of mortgage servicing receivables, and assumed $4.1 million
of liabilities.  The UK Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction.
No additional  fair market value was assigned to the net assets  received in the
UK Acquisition.

     On  April  23,  1996,  CSC-UK  acquired  all the  outstanding  stock of J&J
Securities  Limited  ("J&J") a  London-based  mortgage  banker  for  (pound)15.0
million ($22.7 million) and 548,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock valued
at $9.8 million (the "J&J  Acquisition").  Of the $22.7  million in cash,  $17.9
million was paid at closing,  $3.1 million was payable subject to the resolution
of certain tax issues  related to J&J and $1.7 million is payable based upon the
performance of certain mortgage loans held by J&J. J&J has become a wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  CSC-UK.  The J&J  Acquisition  was  accounted  for as a purchase
transaction. J&J provides secured mortgage loans to UK borrowers who are similar
to the Company's UK borrowers.  The J&J Acquisition  resulted in the recognition
of $19.2 million of goodwill. In addition to the goodwill,  the Company acquired
assets of $53.8 million,  consisting  primarily of mortgage loans held for sale,
and assumed $38.8 million of  liabilities.  No additional  fair market value was
assigned to the net assets received in the J&J Acquisition.

     On June 14, 1996, CSC-UK acquired all of the outstanding stock of Heritable
Group Limited  ("Heritable") for approximately  $66.0 million,  including 99,362
shares of the  Company's  Common Stock  valued at $2.5  million (the  "Heritable
Acquisition").  Heritable,  a UK-based  mortgage finance company,  operates as a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of CSC-UK. The Heritable  Acquisition was accounted for
as a purchase  transaction.  Heritable  originates a full range of mortgage loan
products secured  primarily by single family residences geared towards borrowers
on the upper-end of the credit spectrum.  The Heritable  Acquisition resulted in
the recognition of $41.2 million of goodwill.  In addition to the goodwill,  the
Company  acquired  assets of $221.2  million,  consisting  primarily of mortgage
loans held for sale, and assumed $193.2  million of  liabilities.  No additional
fair  market  value was  assigned to the net assets  received  in the  Heritable
Acquisition.


4.  New Accounting Pronouncement

     On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standard ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation".  This SFAS
encourages  the adoption of a new  accounting  method for  employee  stock-based
compensation plans and applies to all arrangements  whereby an employee receives
stock  or other  equity  instruments  of an  employer  based on the  price of an
employer's stock. These arrangements  include restricted stock options and stock
appreciation  rights.  The SFAS also  permits  the  retention  of the  Company's
current method of accounting for these plans under  Accounting  Principles Board
Opinion No. 25. The Company will continue its current  method of accounting  for
stock 

                                       6



based  compensation  and therefore,  pro forma  disclosures in footnotes will be
provided  on an annual  basis.  The  adoption  of this SFAS had no impact on the
Company's results of operations or its financial condition.

5.  Earnings Per Share

     Primary  earnings  per share are based on the net  earnings  applicable  to
common stock divided by the weighted  average number of common shares and common
stock equivalents  outstanding during the period,  after giving effect to a 100%
stock dividend effected on September 29, 1995 and a 100% stock dividend effected
on July 1, 1996.  Fully diluted earnings per share are based on the net earnings
applicable to common stock  adjusted for the after-tax  interest  expense on the
Convertible  Debentures  (as defined  below),  divided by the  weighted  average
number of common  shares and common  stock  equivalents  outstanding  during the
period  increased by the assumed  conversion of the Convertible  Debentures into
shares of Common Stock.

6.  Convertible Debentures

     In  May  1996,   the  Company  issued  $143.8  million  of  6%  Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2006 (the "Convertible Debentures"),  convertible at
any time prior to redemption or maturity, at the holder's option, into shares of
the  Company's  Common  Stock  at a  conversion  price  of  $26.25,  subject  to
adjustment.  The  Convertible  Debentures may be redeemed,  at the option of the
Company,  in whole or in part,  at any time after May 15, 1999 at  predetermined
redemption  prices  together with accrued and unpaid  interest to the date fixed
for redemption. The coupon at 6% per annum, is payable semi-annually on each May
1 and  November  1,  commencing  November  1, 1996.  The terms of the  indenture
governing the  Convertible  Debentures do not limit the incurrence of additional
indebtedness  by the Company,  nor do they limit the  Company's  ability to make
payments such as dividends.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

General

     The  Company is a consumer  finance  company  engaged  in the  business  of
originating,  purchasing, selling and servicing mortgage loans secured primarily
by one- to four-family  residences.  The Company primarily generates income from
gains  recognized  from  premiums  on loans  sold  through  whole  loan sales to
institutional  purchasers,  gain on sale of loans sold through  securitizations,
interest  earned  on loans  held for sale and  mortgage  servicing  receivables,
origination  fees  received  as part of the loan  application  process  and fees
earned on loans  serviced.  Gain on sale of loans includes the fair value of the
interest-only  and residual  certificate that the Company receives upon the sale
of loans through  securitizations  in the US and the value of mortgage servicing
receivables  that it  receives  on UK  securitizations  and on sales into the US
Greenwich  Facility and the UK Greenwich  Facility (as such terms are defined in
the Liquidity and Capital Resources  section).  Gain recorded on loans sold with
servicing  retained  represents  the excess of the  interest  rate payable by an
obligor  on a loan  over the  interest  rate  passed  through  to the  purchaser
acquiring an interest in such loan, less applicable recurring fees. Gain on sale
of loans  constituted  approximately  88.2% of total revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 75.2% of total  revenues  for the six months  ended June
30, 1995. The Company completed its first US securitization in March of 1995 and
its first UK  securitization  in March of 1996. The Company  anticipates that it
will continue to sell a substantial portion of its loans through securitizations
with the balance sold in whole loan sales to institutional purchasers.

   Results of Operations

     Three  Months  Ended June 30, 1996  Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
1995

     Total revenues  increased  $78.7 million or 735.5% to $89.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $10.7 million for the comparable period in
1995. This increase was primarily the combined result of higher gains on sale of
loans  resulting  from the combined US and UK  increased  loan  origination  and
purchase  volume and  volume of loans  sold  compared  to the prior  period,  an
increase in net mortgage origination income due to an increased loan origination
volume and an increase in servicing income.

     Gain on sale of loans  increased  $71.5  million or 831.4% to $80.1 million
for the three months  ended June 30, 1996 from $8.6  million for the  comparable
period in 1995.  This  increase was a result of the increase in CSC-UK's gain on
loan sales of $66.2 million  representing  a 26.6% gain on the $248.5 million of
loan  sales  during the period  compared  to gain on loan sales of $2.7  million
representing  a  35.5%  gain  on the  $7.5  million  on loan  sales  during  the
comparable  period in 1995. The lower average gain  recognized  during the three
months ended June 1996 was a result of the lower average gain  recognized on the
sale of the Heritable loan portfolios. In addition, the increase was a result of
the  increased  volume of US loan sales at lower  average gains during the three
months ended June 30, 1996 ($270.9  million of loan sales at a weighted  average
gain of 5.2% ($14.0  million) as  compared to a weighted  average  gains of 7.7%
($5.9  million) on $76.9  million  loan sales during the three months ended June
30, 1995). The lower average gain recognized  during the three months ended June
1996 was a result of the lower average  margins from bulk purchases begun during
the second  quarter of 1996,  as well as lower  margins  from shifts of interest
rates  during the second  quarter of 1996.  Included  in the CSC-UK gain on loan
sales  were  $21.8  million  and $29.2  million of gains on the sale of the loan
portfolios  acquired  as a  result  of the J&J  Acquisition  and  the  Heritable
Acquisition.

     Mortgage origination income increased $570,077 or 72.6% to $1.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $785,476 for the comparable  period in
1995.  This  increase  was  primarily  a result of (i) the  increase  in US loan
origination  and  purchase  volume to $290.0  million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 from $87.7 million for the  comparable  period in 1995,  partially
offset  by lower  average  origination  fees  earned  and (ii) the  increase  in
mortgage  origination  income from CSC-UK.  It is anticipated that the Company's
domestic  origination  fees as a percentage of loans originated will continue to
decrease in the future.


                                       8




     Interest  income  increased  $5.4 million or 490.9% to $6.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $1.1 million for the comparable  period in
1995. This increase was due primarily to the increased balance of loans held for
sale during the 1996 period  resulting from the increased loan  origination  and
purchase  volume in excess of loans  sold  during  the  period as well as income
recognized on mortgage servicing receivables.

     Servicing  income  increased  $721,210 or 975.4 % to $795,149 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 from $73,939 for the comparable  period in 1995. This
increased  income was due primarily to an increase in the average balances of US
loans  serviced to $587.9 million for the period ending June 30, 1996 from $96.6
million  for the period  ending  June 30,  1995 and the  increase in the average
balances of UK loans  serviced to $198.4  million for the period ending June 30,
1996 from $5.5 million for the period ending June 30, 1995.

     Earnings from partnership  interest  decreased $96,639 or 49.1% to $110,000
for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996  from  $196,639  million  for the
comparable  period in 1995 as a result  of lower  earnings  recognized  from the
equity interest in Industry  Mortgage  Company,  L.P. for the three months ended
June 30, 1996.

     Total expenses  increased  $23.9 million or 405.1% to $29.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $5.9 million for the comparable  period in
1995.  This increase was a result of increased  salaries,  selling  expenses and
operating  expenses  related to increased loan  origination  and purchase volume
during  the 1996  period.  Total  expenses  as a  percentage  of total  revenues
decreased  to 33.3% for the three  months ended June 30, 1996 from 55.1% for the
comparable  period  in 1995.  During  the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1996,
amortization of goodwill related to the UK Acquisition,  the J&J Acquisition and
the Heritable Acquisition totaled $1.0 million.

     Salaries and employee  benefits  increased $13.0 million or 565.2% to $15.3
million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1996 from $2.3  million  for the
comparable period in 1995. This increase was primarily due to increased staffing
levels to 367 US employees at June 30, 1996 compared to 167 US employees for the
comparable period in 1995, the increased  staffing levels associated with the UK
operations,  severance  costs  associated  with  the  J&J  Acquisition  and  the
Heritable  Acquisition,  growth in loan  origination  and  purchase  volume  and
geographic expansion, as well as increased loans serviced.

     Interest expense  increased $3.3 million or 235.7%, to $4.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $1.4 million for the comparable  period in
1995. The increase was primarily  attributable to the interest costs  associated
with the $143.8 million Convertible  Debentures issued during the second quarter
of 1996 as well as an  increased  balance of loans held  pending sale during the
three months ended June 30, 1996 resulting  from the increased loan  origination
and purchase volume during the period.

     Other  expenses  increased  $6.5  million or 282.6% to $8.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $2.3 million for the comparable  period in
1995. This was primarily a result of increased  selling costs of $2.4 million or
395.1% to $3.0 million for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996 from  $607,473
for the comparable period in 1995, and increased  professional  fees, travel and
entertainment  and  occupancy  costs  incurred  to support  the  increased  loan
origination and purchase volume.

     Net earnings  increased  $32.4 million or 1,350.0% to $34.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $2.4 million for the comparable  period in
1995.  The  growth  in net  earnings  was  due  primarily  to the  inclusion  of
non-recurring,  after-tax  earnings of $23.1  million  from the sale of the loan
portfolios  acquired  as a  result  of the J&J  Acquisition  and  the  Heritable
Acquisition,  as well as increased revenues resulting from an increase in US and
UK loan  origination  and  purchase  volume and volume of loans sold  during the
three months ended June 30, 1996.


     Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

     Total revenues increased $101.6 million or 612.0% to $118.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 from $16.6 million for the  comparable  period in
1995. This increase was primarily the combined result of higher gains on sale of
loans  resulting  from the combined US and UK increase in loan  origination

                                       9



and purchase  volume and volume of loans sold compared to the prior period,  the
inclusion of the operating  results of CSC-UK,  not in existence  until May 1995
and was 50% owned in the second  quarter of 1995,  an increase  in net  mortgage
origination  income due to an increased loan origination  volume and an increase
in servicing income.

     Gain on sale of loans  increased  $91.7 million or 733.6% to $104.2 million
for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 from $12.5  million  for the  comparable
period in 1995.  This increase was a result of the inclusion of CSC-UK's gain on
loan sales of $78.4 million  representing  a 28.4% gain on the $275.9 million of
loan sales  during the period as compared to gain on loan sales of $2.7  million
representing  a  35.5%  gain  on the  $7.5  million  of loan  sales  during  the
comparable  period in 1995.  The lower  average gain  recognized  during the six
months ended June 30, 1996 was a result of the lower average gain  recognized on
the sale of the  Heritable  loan  portfolios.  In  addition,  the increase was a
result of the  increased  volume of US loan sales at lower  average gains during
the six months ended June 30, 1996  ($446.7  million of loan sales at a weighted
average gain of 5.8% ($25.8 million) as compared to a weighted  average gains of
7.3% ($9.8  million) on $133.6 million of loan sales during the six months ended
June 30, 1995).  The lower average gain  recognized  during the six months ended
June 30,  1996 was a result of the lower  average  margins  from bulk  purchases
begun during the second quarter of 1996, as well as lower margins from shifts of
interest rates during the second quarter of 1996. Included in the CSC-UK gain on
loan sales were $21.8 million and $29.2 million of gains on the sale of the loan
portfolios  acquired  as a  result  of the J&J  Acquisition  and  the  Heritable
Acquisition.

     Mortgage origination income increased $787,013 or 56.0% to $2.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $1.4 million for the  comparable  period
in 1995.  This  increase  was  primarily a result of (i) the increase in US loan
origination  and purchase volume to $457.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996 from $148.5 million for the comparable period in 1995, partially offset
by lower  average  origination  fees  earned and (ii) the  increase  in mortgage
origination income from CSC-UK. It is anticipated that the Company's origination
fees as a  percentage  of loans  originated  will  continue  to  decrease in the
future.

     Interest  income  increased  $7.4 million or 352.4% to $9.5 million for the
six months  ended June 30, 1996 from $2.1 million for the  comparable  period in
1995. This increase was due primarily to the increased balance of loans held for
sale during the 1996 period  resulting from the increased loan  origination  and
purchase  volume in excess of loans  sold  during  the  period as well as income
recognized on mortgage servicing receivables.

     Servicing  income  increased  $1.3  million or 1,317.3% to $1.4 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 from $98,688 for the comparable  period in 1995. This
increased  income was due primarily to an increase in the average balances of US
loans  serviced to $500.9 million for the period ending June 30, 1996 from $71.6
million  for the period  ending  June 30,  1995 and the  increase in the average
balance of UK loans  serviced to $128.2  million for the period  ending June 30,
1996 from $5.5 million for the period ending June 30, 1995.

     Earnings from partnership  interest decreased $171,000 or 39.7% to $260,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $431,000 for the  comparable  period
in 1995 as a result of lower  earnings  recognized  from the equity  interest in
Industry Mortgage Company, L.P. during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     Total expenses  increased  $32.7 million or 327.0% to $42.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 from $10.0 million for the  comparable  period in
1995.  This increase was a result of increased  salaries,  selling  expenses and
operating  expenses  related to increased loan  origination  and purchase volume
during the 1996 period, as well as inclusion of the operating results of CSC-UK,
as  compared  to the six  months  ended  June  30,  1995.  Total  expenses  as a
percentage  of total  revenues  decreased to 36.2% for the six months ended June
30,  1996 from 60.2% for the  comparable  period in 1995.  During the six months
ended June 30, 1996, amortization of goodwill related to the CSC-UK Acquisition,
the J&J Acquisition and the Heritable Acquisition totaled $1.5 million.

     Salaries and employee  benefits  increased $16.6 million or 404.9% to $20.7
million  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996  from $4.1  million  for the
comparable period in 1995. This increase was primarily due to increased staffing
levels to 367 US employees at June 30, 1996 compared to 167 US employees for the

                                       10




comparable period in 1995, the increased  staffing levels associated with the UK
operations,  severance  costs  associated  with  the  J&J  Acquisition  and  the
Heritable  Acquisition,  growth in loan  origination  and  purchase  volume  and
geographic expansion, as well as an increase in loans serviced.

     Interest expense  increased $4.1 million or 178.3%, to $6.4 million for the
six months  ended June 30, 1996 from $2.3 million for the  comparable  period in
1995. The increase was primarily  attributable to the interest costs  associated
with the $143.8 million Convertible  Debentures issued during the second quarter
of 1996 as well as an  increased  balance of loans held  pending sale during the
six months ended June 30, 1996 resulting from the increased loan origination and
purchase volume during the period.

     Other expenses  increased  $10.6 million or 294.4% to $14.2 million for the
six months  ended June 30, 1996 from $3.6 million for the  comparable  period in
1995 This  increase was  primarily a result of increased  selling  costs of $3.5
million or 376.6% to $4.4  million  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 from
$917,903 for the  comparable  period in 1995, and increased  professional  fees,
travel and  entertainment  and occupancy costs incurred to support the increased
loan origination and purchase volume and the inclusion of the operating  results
of CSC-UK during the period.

     Net earnings  increased  $40.7 million or 1,197.1% to $44.1 million for the
six months  ended June 30, 1996 from $3.4 million for the  comparable  period in
1995.  The  growth  in net  earnings  was  due  primarily  to the  inclusion  of
non-recurring,  after-tax  earnings of $23.1  million  from the sale of the loan
portfolios   acquired  as  a  result  of  the  J&J   Acquisition  and  Heritable
Acquisition,  increased  revenues resulting from an increase in loan origination
and  purchase  volume and volume of loans sold during the six months  ended June
30,  1996 as the  Company  expanded  its  geographic  base to 37 states  and the
District of Columbia and further penetrated existing markets.

     Financial Condition

     June 30, 1996 Compared to December 31, 1995

     Cash and cash  equivalents  increased $3.3 million or 91.7% to $6.9 million
at June 30, 1996 from $3.6 million at December 31, 1995.

     Prepaid  commitment  fees were  recorded as an asset at March 31, 1996 as a
result  of the UK  Greenwich  Facility  entered  into by  CSC-UK  and  Greenwich
International Ltd., a subsidiary of Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. (referred to
herein, including any subsidiaries as "Greenwich") in March 1996. The balance at
June 30, 1996 was $37.0 million.  There was no  corresponding  asset at December
31, 1995.

     Marketable equity securities in the amount of $9.8 million were recorded as
an asset at June 30, 1996 as a result of the Company's  5.82% equity interest in
IMC Mortgage  Company  ("IMC").  Prior to June 1996,  the Company had recorded a
9.09% limited  partnership  interest in Industry  Mortgage  Company,  L.P.,  the
predecessor  to  IMC.  At  December  31,  1995,  the  Company's   investment  in
partnerships  was $758,315 and was recorded as other assets.  In June 1996,  IMC
converted into corporate form and effected a public offering of common stock. As
a result of the offering,  the Company's  interest in IMC is no longer accounted
for under the equity method of  accounting,  whereby the Company  recognized its
relative  portion  of the  partnership  earnings  as  revenues,  but  rather  as
marketable  securities  available  for sale in  accordance  with  SFAS No.  115.
Available  for sale  securities  are  reported  on the  statement  of  financial
condition at fair market value with any  corresponding  change in value reported
as an  unrealized  gain or loss (if assessed to be  temporary)  as an element of
stockholders' equity after giving effect for taxes.

     Mortgage servicing  receivables increased $95.2 million or 430.8% to $117.3
million at June 30, 1996 from $22.1  million at December 31, 1995  primarily due
to the  increase  of loan sales with  servicing  retained,  partially  offset by
amortization expenses.

     Interest-only and residual  certificates  increased $29.8 million or 191.0%
to $45.4  million at June 30, 1996 from $15.6  million at December 31, 1995 as a
result of the $109.7 million and $252.0 million of US securitizations  completed
during the first six months of 1996.


                                       11




     Mortgage  loans  held for sale,  net  increased  $40.1  million or 54.0% to
$114.3  million at June 30,  1996 from $74.2  million at  December  31, 1995 due
primarily to the volume of US loans originated exceeding loan sale volume in the
first six months of 1996 and loans acquired as part of the J&J  Acquisition  and
the Heritable Acquisition which were not yet sold.

     Mortgage loans held for investment, net increased $3.5 million or 350.0% to
$4.5  million at June 30, 1996 from $1.0  million at  December  31,  1995.  This
increase was a result of the Company's  increased loan  origination and purchase
volume and the  inclusion of $2.7 million of mortgages  held for  investment  by
CSC-UK.  As a percentage of total  assets,  mortgage  loans held for  investment
increased to 1.0% at June 30, 1996 from 0.7% at December 31, 1995.

     Goodwill and other intangibles net of amortization  increased $59.0 million
or 305.7% to $78.3  million at June 30, 1996 from $19.3  million at December 31,
1995 primarily as a result of the goodwill  recorded in connection  with the J&J
Acquisition  and the Heritable  Acquisition  of $19.2 million and $41.2 million,
respectively, offset by $1.5 million of amortization during the period..

     Other assets increased $25.9 million or 404.7% to $32.3 million at June 30,
1996 from $6.4 million at December 31, 1995.  This was  primarily  the result of
the inclusion at June 30, 1996 of subwarehouse loan receivables of $5.6 million,
deferred  costs of $4.5  million  related  to the  issuance  of the  Convertible
Debentures,   CSC-UK   receivables   related  to  loan  sales  to  Greenwich  of
approximately $9.3 million and other assets of CSC-UK of $6.2 million.

     Warehouse financing facilities  outstanding  decreased $2.1 million or 2.8%
to $72.8  million at June 30,  1996 from  $74.9  million at  December  31,  1995
primarily as a result of an  increased  volume of loans  directly  funded by the
Company with proceeds from the Convertible Debenture offering.

     Accounts payable and other liabilities increased $25.6 million or 156.1% to
$42.0 million at June 30, 1996 from $16.4 million at December 31, 1995. This was
primarily the result of the inclusion of CSC-UK and  increased  escrow  balances
associated with the increased loan servicing portfolio.

     Notes payable totaled $38.0 million at June 30, 1996 representing the $38.0
million note payable recorded in connection with the UK Greenwich Facility.

     Stockholders' equity increased $62.8 million or 110.0% to $119.9 million at
June 30, 1996 from $57.1  million at December 31, 1995  primarily as a result of
net  earnings  of $44.1  million  for the six  months  ended June 30,  1996,  in
addition  to a $5.7  million  unrealized  gain on  marketable  securities  and a
foreign currency translation adjustment of $448,168.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company  uses its cash flow from whole loan sales,  loans sold  through
securitizations,   pre-funding  mechanisms  through  its  securitizations,  loan
origination fees,  processing fees, net interest income and borrowings under its
warehouse  facility,  US purchase  facilities,  standby facility and UK purchase
facility to meet its working  capital  needs.  The Company's  cash  requirements
include  the funding of loan  originations  and  purchases,  payment of interest
expenses, funding the  over-collateralization  requirements for securitizations,
operating expenses, income taxes and capital expenditures.

     Adequate  credit  facilities  and other  sources of funding,  including the
ability of the Company to sell loans,  are essential to the  continuation of the
Company's ability to originate and purchase loans. As a result of increased loan
originations and purchases and its growing  securitization  program, the Company
has operated, and expects to continue to operate, on a negative cash flow basis.
During the six month  periods  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  the  Company  used
operating cash of  approximately  $47.3 million and $9.9 million,  respectively.
Additionally,  during the same  periods,  the  Company  used $85.4  million  and
$143,414 in investing activities,  primarily to fund the Company's  acquisitions
of J&J and  Heritable in the 1996 period.  The  Company's  sale of loans through
securitizations  has  resulted  in a gain on  securitization  recognized  by the
Company. The recognition of this gain on securitization has a negative impact on
the cash flow of the Company because significant costs are incurred upon closing
of the transactions  giving rise to such gain and the Company is required to pay
state and  federal  income  taxes on the gain on  

                                       12



securitization in the period  recognized,  although the Company does not receive
the cash  representing  the gain until later  periods as the  related  loans are
repaid or otherwise  collected.  During the same periods,  the Company  received
cash of $136.0  million and $11.4  million,  respectively.  The Company  borrows
funds on a short-term  basis to support the accumulation of loans prior to sale.
These  short-term  borrowings  are made under a warehouse  line of credit with a
group of banks for which  CoreStates Bank, N.A.  ("CoreStates")  serves as agent
(the "Warehouse Facility").  Pursuant to the Warehouse Facility, the Company has
available  a secured  revolving  credit  line of $72.0  million to  finance  the
Company's  origination  or purchase of loans,  pending  sale to investors or for
holding  certain loans in its own portfolio (the "Revolving  Credit Line").  The
Revolving  Credit  Line is  settled on a  revolving  basis in  conjunction  with
ongoing  loan sales and bears  interest  at a variable  rate  (8.35% at June 30,
1996)  based on (i) 25 basis  points over the higher of either the prime rate or
the  federal  funds rate plus 50 basis  points or (ii) LIBOR (A)  divided by the
result of one minus the stated maximum rate at which reserves are required to be
maintained by Federal Reserve System member banks, (B) plus 175 basis points, as
periodically  elected by the Company. The outstanding balance of this portion of
the Warehouse  Facility was $55.9 million at June 30, 1996. The Revolving Credit
Line extends through June 1997. In addition, the Warehouse Facility provides for
a secured revolving working capital credit line of up to $3.0 million to be used
by the Company for general  corporate  purposes  (the  "Working  Capital  Credit
Line").  The Working Capital Credit Line operates as a revolving  facility until
January 1, 1997 at which time any outstanding  balance under the Working Capital
Credit Line  converts  to a term loan.  The  Working  Capital  Credit Line bears
interest at a variable  rate (9.25% at June 30,  1996) based on 100 basis points
over the higher of either the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis
points.  There was no outstanding  balance under the Working Capital Credit Line
at June 30, 1996.  The Working  Capital  Credit Line  terminates on December 31,
1998.

     The Warehouse  Facility also permits the Company to use up to $10.0 million
of the Revolving Credit Line to provide  subwarehouse lines of credit to certain
loan  correspondents  from whom the Company  purchases  loans. In July 1995, the
Company began  lending  funds on a short-term  basis to assist in the funding of
loans originated by certain of the Company's loan correspondents. Each borrowing
under these  subwarehouse  credit lines has a term of not more than 30 days. The
Company requires  personal  guarantees of the credit line from the principals of
the related loan  correspondents.  At June 30, 1996,  the  aggregate  balance of
loans outstanding under this program was $4.8 million, with applications pending
for an additional $12.6 million of loans.

     The Company has a $50.0 million loan purchase  agreement  (the "US Purchase
Facility")  with  ContiTrade  Services  Corporation  ("ContiTrade")  whereby the
Company  originates  and then sells loans and  retains the rights to  repurchase
loans at a future date for whole loan sales to  institutional  investors  or for
sales through  securitizations.  This agreement  extends  through June 1999. The
aggregate  principal balance of loans sold to and retained by ContiTrade at June
30, 1996 under the US Purchase Facility was $11.7 million.  The Company also has
a standby financing arrangement with ContiTrade (the "Standby Facility") whereby
ContiTrade  provides  the Company up to $10.0  million  line of credit  which is
secured by the interest-only and residual certificates the Company receives upon
loan sales through  securitizations.  As of June 30, 1996,  the Company had $2.0
million  available  under the  Standby  Facility.  The  Standby  Facility  bears
interest  at a variable  rate based on LIBOR plus 200 basis  points  (7.4375% at
June 30, 1996) and the agreement extends through June 1999.

     In June 1996,  the Company  entered into a $1.0  billion  purchase and sale
agreement  with  Greenwich,  effective as of February 2, 1996 (the "US Greenwich
Facility"), whereby the Company originates and then sells loans to Greenwich for
subsequent inclusion in securitizations.  The facility expires on the earlier to
occur of $1.0 billion in loans sold into the  facility or February 2, 1998.  The
Company had  approximately  $604.0 million  available under the facility at June
30, 1996. The Company retains servicing on all loans sold into the facility.

     In March  1996,  CSC-UK and  Greenwich  entered  into a new  mortgage  loan
purchase  agreement  effective  as of  January  1, 1996 that  includes a working
capital  facility  with  respect to the  funding of variable  rate,  residential
mortgage  loans  originated  or purchased by CSC-UK in the UK (the "UK Greenwich
Facility") and terminated a previous facility with Greenwich. Pursuant to the UK
Greenwich Facility and with certain exceptions, CSC-UK sells all of the loans it
originates to Greenwich which must buy such loans.  CSC-UK and/or Greenwich will
subsequently resell these loans through whole loan sales or securitizations. The
UK Greenwich  Facility  includes a working  capital  facility  pursuant to which
CSC-UK


                                       13



is advanced  amounts  based on a percentage  of the  principal  balance of loans
originated or purchased by CSC-UK and sold to  Greenwich,  which advance may not
exceed (pound)10.0 million in the aggregate outstanding at any time. Outstanding
amounts  under this working  capital  facility  bear interest at a rate of LIBOR
plus 255 basis points (7.3859% at June 30, 1996). The outstanding  balance under
this working capital  facility was  (pound)10.0  million ($15.5 million) at June
30, 1996. This agreement expires on December 31, 2015. Both CSC-UK and Greenwich
are prohibited from entering into substantially  similar transactions with other
parties.  CSC-UK  agreed to pay a fee to  Greenwich  in  connection  with the UK
Greenwich Facility in the aggregate amount of $38.0 million, evidenced by a note
bearing interest at a rate of 6.2%,  payable in installments of $13.0 million on
December 15, 1996 and $25.0 million on December 15, 1997.  Such fee is amortized
over the life of the UK Greenwich Facility.

     In May 1996,  the Company  issued  Convertible  Debentures in the aggregate
principal  amount of $143.8 million.  Proceeds from the  Convertible  Debentures
were  used to  repay  the  indebtedness  incurred  in  connection  with  the J&J
Acquisition,  to finance the  Heritable  Acquisition  and for general  corporate
purposes.

     As of June 30, 1996,  the Company had  available a $30.0  million term loan
with the First  National  Bank of Boston to fund loan  originations  and working
capital needs.  The term loan matures on December 31, 1996 and bears interest at
a rate of 11.0% per annum. As of August 12, 1996, the outstanding balance of the
term loan was $24.5 million.

     The Company also has a loan and security  agreement with CoreStates whereby
CoreStates  agrees  to lend  the  Company  up to  $10.0  million  to  fund  loan
originations and purchases.  Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the
prime  rate  plus 25  basis  points  and  are due  upon  demand.  The  agreement
terminates on June 30, 1997.

     The  Company is required to comply with  various  operating  and  financial
covenants  as  defined  in  the  agreements   described   above.  The  continued
availability of funds provided to the Company under these  agreements is subject
to the Company's continued compliance with these covenants.

     The Company's  business  requires  continual access to short- and long-term
sources  of debt and  equity  capital.  While  management  believes  that it has
sufficient  funds to finance its  operations  and will be able to  refinance  or
otherwise  repay  its debt in the  normal  course of  business,  there can be no
assurance  that  existing  lines can be  extended  or  refinanced  or that funds
generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy such obligations. Future
financing may involve the issuance of additional debt or equity securities.

     The Company's cash requirements may be significantly influenced by possible
acquisitions  or strategic  alliances,  although no  particular  acquisition  or
strategic  alliance  has been agreed upon or become the subject of any letter of
intent or  agreement in principle  other than the J&J  Acquisition  completed in
April 1996 and the Heritable  Acquisition  completed in June 1996. 

     The Company  anticipates  that it will need to arrange for additional  cash
resources prior to the end of 1996 through  additional debt or equity  financing
or additional  bank  borrowings.  The Company has no commitments  for additional
bank  borrowings or  additional  debt or equity  financing,  and there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in consummating any such financing
transaction in the future on terms the Company would consider to be favorable.
