         Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On December 17, 1999, Bingham Financial Services Corporation
("Bingham") completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding stock
of Dynex Financial, Inc. ("Dynex Financial"). DFI Acquiring Corp., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bingham ("DAC"), acquired Dynex Financial from Dynex
Holding, Inc. ("Dynex Holding"), a subsidiary of Dynex Capital, Inc. ("Dynex
Capital"). DAC also acquired all of the rights to Dynex Capital's manufactured
home lending business, including certain intellectual property, software and
other intangible property.

         Dynex Financial specializes in lending to buyers of manufactured homes
and provides servicing for manufactured home loans. The purchase price paid by
DAC was $4,001,000. The terms of the transaction were determined on the basis of
arm's length negotiations between the parties. The source of funds used to
finance the acquisition was Bingham's outstanding credit lines.

         The description of the proposed acquisition included in this report
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Purchase Agreement dated November 27, 1999 by and among Dynex Financial,
Dynex Holding, Dynex Capital and DAC, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this
report.
