ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
General
Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bankers Direct Mortgage
Corporation and Direct Mortgage Partners, Inc., CFI Mortgage,
Inc. is a rapidly growing mortgage banker engaged in originating,
purchasing and selling conventional as well as government
guaranteed, subprime (B/C) loans on one-to-four-family
residential units through its Retail, Wholesale and Consumer
Finance divisions. CFI common shares are publicly traded on the
NASDAQ small cap market system under the symbol CFIM.
CFIM's goal to diversify its production channels while expanding
Nationally to avoid geographic risk was realized in the third
quarter with the acquisition of the assets of CT Mortgage Company
of Florida, Inc., the purchase of an economic interest in
California Pacific Mortgage Corporation and the opening of two
regional wholesale offices. The CT Mortgage acquisition provided
the Company with an established subprime (B/C) regional wholesale
operation doing business in four (4) Southeastern states. The
California Pacific acquisition provided the Company with a direct
mail subprime (B/C) platform currently licensed to do business in
nine (9) Western states. The development of the subprime (B/C)
channels continued with the opening of two regional wholesale
offices producing subprime (B/C) first and second mortgage loans
through full service hubs located in Oakbrook, Illinois and
Orange, California. Through these offices the Company has
developed a template for future growth and expansion. Subsequent
to the quarter, an additional regional wholesale office was
opened in Atlanta, Georgia. In all cases, the Company has been
able to secure seasoned professionals to staff these offices
which is expected to reduce the time before the offices are
profitable.
The start up costs associated with the national expansion coupled
with the increased corporate overhead put in place to support the
production network created a loss for the quarter. The loss is
viewed as an investment in the future with the newly added
offices already yielding increased subprime (B/C) production. The
Company continued its efforts to improve technology and operating
efficiency during the quarter. Progress was made in networking
all offices for communication and data flow with the installation
of a wide area network.
Progress toward the goal of improving the Company's Secondary
Market execution was made during the quarter as the Company
received Fannie Mae Seller/Servicer approval for the Bankers
Direct subsidiary. In addition subservicing relationships have
been established with Advanta Mortgage for subprime (B/C) and
Cenlar, F.S.B. for all other products. These relationships
improve the collection efforts until the loans are sold as well
as outsourcing certain of these operational functions associated
with loan sales.
F-8
10
General (Continued)
During the quarter, operational changes were made to utilize the
Bank One warehouse facility. The use of this facility allows for
improved earnings due to interest rate spreads with this fact
contributing to the increase in revenue for the quarter. The use
of the Bank One facility also changes the balance sheet as the
loans held for sale are now reflected in the balance sheet as an
asset with the outstanding balance in the warehouse facility
reflected as a liability. As production increases this facility
is expected to contribute positively to earnings.
Results of Operations
Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:
Revenues, including interest income, increased $1,454,000 (25.2%)
to $7,223,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared to $5,769,000 for the comparable prior year period. The
increase is due to greater fee income per loan produced, while
the number of loans remained relatively constant. The 1997
product mix showed a sharp increase in subprime (B/C) loan
production, which generates greater fee income per loan than
conforming loans.
Selling expenses increased $769,000 (30.6%) to $3,279,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $2,510,000 for
the comparable prior year period. Commissions and benefits
accounted for over two-thirds of this increase, which was
directly related to the increased revenues. The remainder was the
result of the national expansion and the upfront costs associated
with establishing the support functions required for this
expansion to be successful. Selling expenses as a percentage of
revenues were relatively constant: 45.4% in 1997 and 43.5% in
1996.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,344,000 (48.1%)
to $4,138,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared to $2,794,000 for the comparable prior year period.
Salaries and benefits rose over $965,000. The non-commissioned
support staff increased from 61 to 150 between September 30, 1996
and September 30, 1997, an increase of 146%. The Company added
senior management personnel with experience in the revised
operational structure that the Company now utilizes. Additional
expenses were incurred in 1997 as part of the national expansion
and upfront costs associated with establishing the support
functions required for this expansion to be successful. As a
percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
increased to 57.3% in 1997 from 48.4% in 1996.
Interest expense increased $484,000 (71.7%) to $1,159,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $675,000 for the
comparable prior year period. The average cost of borrowings
increased due to the introduction of subprime loans, and loans
were aggregated for a longer period of time by the Company to
take advantage of bulk sale premiums.
F-9

Results of Operations (Continued)
Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:
(Continued)
Loss before taxes increased $1,144,000 (547.4%) to $1,353,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $209,000 for
the comparable prior year period as a result of the national
expansion and the upfront costs associated with establishing the
support functions required for this expansion to be successful.
The second and third quarter losses were significantly
attributable to the increases in general and administrative
expenses and interest expense caused by those changes. The first
quarter loss was primarily the result of the seasonality of home
sales in Florida. Home sales typically decline in the first
quarter of the year due in part to Florida's homestead laws,
which reduce a purchaser's taxes resulting in many home
purchasers buying before year end. The increased demand at year
end tends to drive up administrative costs in the first quarter.
Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:
Revenues, including interest income, increased $1,289,000 (58.4%)
to $3,495,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997
compared to $2,206,000 for the comparable prior year period.
Total loan volume increased by 43%, which impacted both fees
generated as well as interest income. The majority of the volume
increase was subprime (B/C) loan production, which generates
greater fee and interest income per loan than conforming loans.
Selling expenses increased $649,000 (73.3%) to $1,534,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $885,000 for
the comparable prior year period. Commissions and benefits
accounted for nearly 75% of the increase and was related to the
increased revenues. The remainder was the result of the national
expansion and the upfront costs associated with establishing the
support functions required for this expansion to be successful.
Selling expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 43.9%
in 1997 from 40.1% in 1996.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,019,000 (100.8%)
to $2,030,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997
compared to $1,011,000 for the comparable prior year period.
Salaries and benefits rose over $662,000. The non-commissioned
support staff increased from 61 to 150 between September 30, 1996
and September 30, 1997, an increase of 146%. The Company added
senior management personnel with experience in the revised
operational structure that the Company now utilizes. Additional
expenses were incurred in 1997 as part of the national expansion
and the upfront costs associated with establishing the support
functions required for this expansion to be successful. As a
percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
increased to 58.1% in 1997 from 45.8% in 1996.

Results of Operations (Continued)
Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:
(Continued)
Interest expense increased $356,000 (138.0%) to $614,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $258,000 for
the comparable prior year period. The average cost of borrowings
increased due to the introduction of subprime loans, and loans
were aggregated for a longer period time by the Company to take
advantage of bulk sale premiums.
The Company experienced a pretax loss of $684,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to a pretax profit of
$52,000 for the comparable prior year period as a result of the
national expansion and the upfront costs associated with
establishing the support functions required for this expansion to
be successful. The loss was significantly attributable to the
increases in general and administrative expenses and interest
expense caused by those changes.
The credit for taxes of $90,000 recorded in the second quarter of
1997 was reversed in the third quarter due to the continuing
losses.
Financial Condition
September 30, 1997 Compared to December 31, 1996:
Cash in banks, net of overdrafts, decreased $208,000 to $51,000
at September 30, 1997 from $259,000 at December 31, 1996. The net
cash proceeds from the Company's initial public offering (the
"Offering") were $3,921,000, including the $120,000 refund of
deferred offering costs previously paid by the Company in 1996.
The use of these proceeds is discussed in the following section.
Fees and loans receivable increased $2,117,000 (239.8%) to
$3,000,000 at September 30, 1997 from $883,000 at December 31,
1996. Fees receivable from investors and interest income
receivables accounted for the majority of this increase.
Loans held for sale total $22,937,000 at September 30, 1997 and
correspond directly to the warehouse finance facilities debt of
$22,277,000. These items correspond to the use of the $50,000,000
credit agreement entered into by Bankers Direct Mortgage
Corporation ("BDMC") with Bank One, Texas, N.A. on June 30, 1997.
The credit facility is being used to finance mortgage
originations and purchases and is collateralized by the mortgage
loans held for sale by BDMC.
F-11
13
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Currently, the Company's cash requirements include the funding of
(i) mortgage originations and purchases pending their sale, (ii)
ongoing administrative and other operating expenses, and (iii)
new retail and wholesale locations. The Company has relied upon a
few lenders to provide the primary credit facilities for its loan
originations and purchases.
As noted above, BDMC entered into a $50,000,000 credit agreement
with Bank One on June 30, 1997. As of September 30, 1997,
$22,277,000 had been utilized and was outstanding.
At September 30, 1997, the Company also had aggregate purchase
facilities of $25,000,000 from three financial institutions
ranging from $2,000,000 to $20,000,000. The utilized and
outstanding portions of the facilities at September 30, 1997 were
$19,266,000. The unused purchase facilities aggregated
$5,734,000. Interest rates range from 9.5% to the rate on the
purchased loan.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net cash used in
operating activities was $3,185,000. The major uses were
$22,937,000 for the funding of Bank One loan originations,
$2,117,000 for the increase in fees and loans receivable, and
$1,353,000 for the net loss for the period. The loss was financed
by the Offering proceeds and the use of the credit facilities.
The cash proceeds from the Offering of $3,921,000 were used (i)
to fund mortgage loans, (ii) to expand the Company's retail,
subprime, and consumer finance divisions, (iii) for primary
marketing and brand recognition and (iv) to purchase new
technology and infrastructure. The Company anticipates that cash
from operating activities, together with funds available under
its purchase agreements, will be sufficient to fund its
operations for the next twelve months if the Company's future
operations are consistent with management's expectations. The
Company may need additional financing thereafter. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing on a
favorable or timely basis. The type, timing and terms of
financing selected by the Company will depend on its cash needs,
the availability of other financing sources and the prevailing
conditions in the financial markets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, cash used in
operating activities was $39,000. This deficit was financed by
cash on hand and an increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $232,000.
The mortgage banking industry is generally subject to seasonal
trends. These trends reflect the general pattern of resales of
homes, which sales typically peak during the spring and summer
seasons and decline from January through March. In addition, the
primary home market in Florida tends to increase during the
fourth quarter, while the second home market increases from
October through April. Refinancings tend to be less seasonal and
more closely related to changes in interest rates.

Risk Factors
Except for historical information contained herein, certain
matters discussed in this Form 10-QSB are "forward-looking
statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act (PSLRA) of 1995, which involve risk and uncertainties
that exist in the Company's operations and business environment,
and are subject to changes based on various important factors.
The Company wishes to take advantage of the "safe harbor"
provisions of the PSLRA by cautioning readers that numerous
important factors discussed below, among others, in some cases
have caused, and in the future could cause the Company's actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company.
The following include some, but not all, of the factors or
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from
projections:
- A general economic slowdown.
- The unanticipated expenses of assimilating newly-acquired
business into the Company's business structure, as well as,
the impact of unusual expenses from ongoing evaluations of
business strategies, asset valuations, acquisitions,
divestitures and organizational structures.
- Unpredictable delays or difficulties in the development of
new product programs.
- Rapid or unforeseen escalation of the cost of regulatory
compliance and/or litigation, including but not limited to,
environmental compliance, licenses, adoptions of new, or
changes in accounting policies and practices and the
application of such policies and practices.
- The effects of changes in monetary and fiscal policies,
laws and regulations, other activities of governments,
agencies and similar organizations, and social and economic
conditions, unforeseen inflationary pressures and monetary
fluctuation, the ability or inability of the Company to
hedge against fluctuations in interest rates.
- The ability or inability of the Company to continue its
current practices relating to mortgage loans held for sale.
- Increased competition within the Company's markets.
The Company believes that it has the product offerings,
facilities, personnel and competitive and financial resources for
continued business success. However, future revenues, costs,
margins and profits are all influenced by a number of factors, as
discussed above.
