                    RESOURCE BANCSHARES MORTGAGE GROUP, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1998



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation:

         The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Resource
Bancshares Mortgage Group, Inc. (the Company), included in the Company's
December 31, 1997, Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain financial information,
which is normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, is not required for interim financial
statements and has been omitted. The accompanying interim consolidated financial
statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management of the Company,
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair
presentation of operating results for the periods shown have been made. Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period
presentation.

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS
No. 128), which is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS No. 128 in December 1997 and
has retroactively restated to report its earnings per share on a comparable
basis for all periods presented.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", which requires that changes in the amounts of comprehensive income
items, currently reported as separate components of equity, be shown in a
financial statement, displayed as prominently as other financial statements. The
most common components of other comprehensive income include foreign currency
translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments and/or unrealized
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. SFAS No. 130 does not require
a specific format for the new statement, but does require that an amount
representing total comprehensive income be reported. SFAS No. 130 is required to
be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company
has adopted SFAS No. 130 in 1998.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information", which establishes new standards for
business segment reporting. Requirements of SFAS No. 131 include reporting of
(a) financial and descriptive information about reportable operating segments,
(b) a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense
items and segment assets with reconciliations of such amounts to the Company's
financial statements and (c) information regarding revenues derived from the
Company's products and services, information about major customers and
information related to geographic areas. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 131
for the full-year 1998.

         In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement
Benefits" which revises employers' disclosures about pension and other
postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition
of those plans. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 132 for the full-year
1998.

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 requires that
all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current
earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is
designed as part of a hedge transaction and , if it is, the type of hedge
transaction. For fair value hedge transactions in which the Company is hedging
changes in an asset's, liability's or firm commitment's fair value, changes in
the fair value of the derivative instrument will generally be offset in the
income statement by changes in the hedged item's fair value. For cash-flow hedge
transactions, in which the Company is hedging the variability of cash flows
related to a variable-rate asset, liability or a forecasted transaction, changes
in the fair value of the derivative instrument will be reported in other
comprehensive income. The gains and losses on the derivative instrument that are
reported in other comprehensive income will be reclassified as earnings in the
periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of
the hedged item. The ineffective portion of all hedges will be recognized in
current period earnings. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of
all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 (January 1, 2000 for the
Company). However, early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet
determined either the impact that the adoption of FAS 133 will have on its
earnings or statement of financial position or the period in which the statement
will be implemented.

         Certain amounts in prior period statements have been reclassified in
order to conform to current period presentation. Specifically, first quarter of
1998 salary and employee benefits was decreased by $1.4 million, net gain on
sale of mortgage loans was decreased by $1.1 million and servicing fees were
increased by $223 thousand. These reclassifications of previously reported
first quarter of 1998 amounts had no net effect on pre-tax or after-tax net
income of the previously reported interim period.

         Effective April 1, 1997, the Company completed a merger with Meritage
Mortgage Corporation (Meritage), in which it exchanged approximately $1.75
million of cash and 537,846 (564,738 after retroactive adjustment for the 5%
stock dividend declared on October 31, 1997) noncontingent shares of RBMG common
stock for all the outstanding stock of Meritage. This transaction was accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting. In addition, 406,053 (426,355 after
retroactive adjustment for the 5% stock dividend declared on October 31, 1997)
shares of RBMG common stock were issued contingent upon Meritage achieving
specified increasingly higher levels of subprime mortgage production during
certain periods following closing. During the second quarter of 1998, 135,351
(142,118 after retroactive adjustment for the 5% stock dividend declared on
October 31, 1997) contingent shares of RBMG common stock were released. All the
contingent shares have now been released. The fair market value of contingent
shares had been excluded from the purchase price for purposes of recording
goodwill and from outstanding shares for purposes of earnings per share
computations. As each specified increasingly higher subprime mortgage production
level was achieved, the corresponding fair market value of the associated
contingent shares released was recorded as additional goodwill and such shares
were prospectively treated as outstanding for purposes of earnings per share
computations. The purchase price for the Meritage merger has been allocated to
tangible and identifiable assets and liabilities based upon management's
estimate of their respective fair values with the excess of estimated cost over
the fair value of the net assets acquired allocated to goodwill. Goodwill and
other intangible assets are being amortized over a 20 year period using the
straight line method. Amortization expense for the second quarter and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998 was approximately $141 and $265, respectively. The
following is a schedule of the allocation of the purchase price:

         Effective May 1, 1998 the Company sold the retail production franchise
of Intercounty Mortgage, Inc. to CFS Bank. Historically, the Company has
focused on accumulation of loan production through third-party correspondent
and wholesale broker channels because of the relatively lower fixed expenses
and capital investments required, among other reasons. Management believes the
sale of the retail operation will allow the Company to refocus on its core
competency as a correspondent and wholesale mortgage lender. The following is a
schedule of the gain recognized on the sale of the retail production franchise:

Earnings Per Share

     The following is a reconciliation of basic earnings per share to diluted
earnings per share as calculated under SFAS No. 128 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively:

     The prices of all options outstanding at June 30, 1998 were less than the
average market price of the common shares for the first six months of 1998,
therefore all options were included in the computation of diluted earnings per

     Options to purchase 112,350 shares of common stock at $14.25 per share,
17,850 shares of common stock at $14.31 per share and 7,875 shares of common
stock at $14.27 per share were outstanding during the first six months of 1997
but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because
the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the
common shares.

         Initially, the Company was exclusively focused on purchasing
agency-eligible mortgage loans through its correspondents. In order to diversify
its sources of loan volume, the Company started a wholesale operation in 1994, a
retail operation in 1995 and a subprime division in 1997. Management anticipates
that its higher margin wholesale and subprime production will continue to
account for an increasing percentage of total mortgage loan production as those
divisions are expanded more rapidly than correspondent operations. In general,
management has targeted as a near-term goal a residential mortgage production
mix of approximately 70% correspondent, 25% wholesale and 5% subprime. In order
to further diversify its sources of production and revenue, the Company acquired
Resource Bancshares Corporation (RBC) in December 1997. Through RBC, the Company
originates small ticket commercial equipment leases and commercial mortgage
loans. These two new sources of production accounted for 4.9% of the Company's
total second quarter 1998 production.

     The Company's total agency-eligible residential mortgage production
increased by 38% to $3.6 billion for the second quarter of 1998 from $2.6
billion for the second quarter of 1997. The Company's 38% agency-eligible loan
production increase is a direct result of the nationwide 56% increase in 1-4
family mortgage originations for the second quarter of 1998 as compared to the
second quarter of 1997. The decrease in the Company's estimated market share of
U.S. mortgage originations from 1.15% for the second quarter of 1997 to 1.02%
for the second quarter of 1998 is primarily due to the Company's focus on
improved agency-eligible profitability and expansion of its higher margined
subprime, commercial mortgage and leasing production.

Correspondent Loan Production

     The Company purchases closed mortgage loans through its network of approved
correspondent lenders. Correspondents are primarily mortgage lenders, larger
mortgage brokers and smaller savings and loan associations and commercial banks,
which have met the Company's approval requirements.

     The Company continues to emphasize correspondent loan production as its
basic business focus because of the lower fixed expenses and capital investment
required of the Company. That is, the Company has developed a cost structure
that is more directly variable with loan production because the correspondent
incurs most of the fixed costs of operating and maintaining branch offices and
of identifying and interacting directly with loan applicants.

residential loan production activities is set forth below:

     The 42% increase in the Company's correspondent loan production from $1.9
billion for the second quarter of 1997 to $2.8 billion for the second quarter of
1998 resulted primarily from the 56% increase in nationwide 1-4 family mortgage
loan production. The number of approved correspondent lenders at the end of the
second quarter of 1998 decreased slightly from that of the second quarter of
1997 as the Company focused on maintenance of those correspondent relationships
most compatible with the Company's overall business strategies and profitability
goals while continuing a disciplined and measured expansion through
establishment of new correspondent relationships.

Wholesale Loan Production

     The wholesale division receives loan applications through brokers,
underwrites the loans, funds the loans at closing and prepares all closing
documentation. The wholesale branches also handle all shipping and follow-up
procedures on loans. Typically mortgage brokers are responsible for taking
applications and accumulating the information precedent to the Company's
processing of the loans. Although the establishment of wholesale branch offices
involves the incurrence of fixed expenses associated with maintaining those
offices, wholesale operations also provide for higher profit margins than
correspondent loan production. Additionally, each branch office can serve a
relatively sizable geographic area by establishing relationships with large
numbers of independent mortgage loan brokers who bear much of the cost of
identifying and interacting directly with loan applicants.

     The 63% ($289 million) increase in wholesale loan production, from $459.3
million for the second quarter of 1997 to $748.6 million during the second
quarter of 1998, resulted from the 56% nationwide increase in loan production
and the Company's addition of two new wholesale branches between the second
quarter of 1997 and the second quarter of 1998. The increase in operating
expenses for the wholesale division was primarily a result of the increased
production. Wholesale division operating expenses as a percentage of production
decreased 10% from 59 basis points in the second quarter of 1997 to 53 basis
points in the second quarter of 1998.

     Strategically, management anticipates focusing in the near-term on
significantly expanding its wholesale presence nationwide due to the relatively
higher margins attributable to this channel. Management anticipates that the
wholesale division will continue to account for an increasing percentage of the
Company's total loan production.

Retail Loan Production

     During late 1997, the Company began reviewing the compatibility of the
retail operation with its primary business focus. On March 11, 1998, the Company
signed a definitive agreement with CFS Bank under which the Company sold the
retail production franchise of Intercounty Mortgage, Inc. to CFS Bank effective
May 1, 1998. Historically, the Company has focused on accumulation of loan
production through third-party correspondent and wholesale broker channels
because of the relatively lower fixed expenses and capital investments required,
among other reasons. Management believes the sale of the retail operation will
allow the Company to refocus on its core competency as a correspondent and
wholesale mortgage lender.

     The primary cause of the variations observed above relate to the sale of
the retail production platform effective May 1, 1998.

Subprime Loan Production

     In 1997, the Company began its initial expansion into subprime lending
activities. In connection therewith, the Company acquired Meritage Mortgage
Corporation (Meritage), a wholesale producer of subprime mortgage loans, in
April 1997. The Company's subprime division produced $252.1 million during the
first six months of 1998, 89% more than for the comparable prior year period.

     Management anticipates continuing significant expansion of its subprime
division during the remainder of 1998 as subprime branches recently opened or
acquired in 1997 reach full year production levels, as additional wholesale
subprime branches are opened and as subprime operations are introduced and made
available through the Company's existing 15 branch agency-eligible wholesale
network. In the future, the Company plans to offer select subprime loan products
through the existing nationwide correspondent production channel.

     A summary of key information relevant to the Company's subprime production
activities is set forth below:

         Subprime loan production increased by 68% to $146.1 million for the
second quarter of 1998 as compared to $87.0 million during the second quarter of
1997.

Commercial Mortgage Production

     In connection with its acquisition of RBC on December 31, 1997, the Company
acquired RBC's subsidiary, Laureate Realty. Laureate Realty originates
commercial mortgage loans for various 



                                       14
   15

insurance companies and other investors. Commercial mortgage loans are generally
originated in the name of the investor and, in most instances, Laureate Realty
retains the right to service the loans under a servicing agreement.

AGENCY-ELIGIBLE MORTGAGE SERVICING

     Agency-eligible mortgage servicing includes collecting and remitting
mortgage loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, holding escrow
funds for payment of mortgage-related expenses such as taxes and insurance,
making advances to cover delinquent payments, making inspections as required of
the mortgaged premises, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising
foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults and
generally administering mortgage loans.

     The Company is somewhat unique in that its strategy is to sell
substantially all of its produced agency-eligible mortgage servicing rights to
other approved servicers. In that regard, the Company believes it is the largest
national supplier of agency-eligible servicing rights to the still-consolidating
mega-servicers. Typically, the Company sells its agency-eligible mortgage
servicing rights within 90 to 180 days of purchase or origination. However, for
strategic reasons, the Company also strives to maintain a servicing portfolio
whose size is determined by reference to the Company's cash operating costs
which, in turn, are largely determined by the size of its loan production
platform. By continuing to focus on the low-cost correspondent and wholesale
production channels, the Company is able to 



                                       15
   16

minimize the cash operating costs of its loan production platform and thus the
strategically required size of its agency-eligible loan servicing operation.

* These numbers and statistics apply to the Company's owned agency-eligible
  servicing portfolio and therefore exclude the subservicing portfolio.


     The Company's coverage ratio for the first half of 1998 at 33% was lower
than the Company's target level of between 50% and 80%. The Company's expansion
into the relatively high cost subprime production channel and diversification
into the commercial mortgage and small ticket equipment leasing businesses,
together with normal inflationary pressures on costs, have combined to increase
cash operating costs at a 60% pace for the first six months of 1998 over that
for the first six months of 1997. Although the servicing portfolio and servicing
fees have increased during the same period, such increases have not kept pace
with the rate of growth in cash operating expenses. Strategically, and in the
opinion of the Company's management, market prices for servicing rights have
been attractive throughout this period. Accordingly, management has consciously
determined on a risk versus return basis to allow this ratio to move below its
stated goals. Opportunistically and as market conditions permit, management
would expect to bring this ratio back in line with the stated objective.
Effective May 1, 1998, the Company sold its retail production franchise, which
accounted for $5.6 million of the Company's cash operating expenses for the
first half of 1998. Without retail division operating expenses for the first six
months of 1998, the Company's coverage ratio would have been 36%.

* These numbers and statistics apply to the Company's owned agency-eligible
  servicing portfolio and therefore exclude the subservicing portfolio.

     The $2.2 billion, or 24%, increase in the average underlying unpaid
principal balance of agency-eligible mortgage loans being serviced for the
second quarter of 1998 as compared to the second quarter of 1997 is primarily
related to the Company's decision to retain a larger percentage of its
production during the first half of 1998. Additionally, the Company's increased
loan production volumes during the latter half of 1997 and the first half of
1998 compared to the same periods of the prior years contributed to the
increase. Since the Company generally sells servicing rights related to the
agency-eligible loans it produces within 90 to 180 days of purchase or
origination, increased production volumes generally result in a higher volume of
mortgage servicing rights held in inventory pending sale.

Summary

     The production revenue to pool delivery ratio declined five basis points,
or 5%, for the first six months of 1998 as compared to the first six months of
1997. Generally, net gain on sale of mortgage loans (93 basis points for 1998
versus 83 basis points for 1997) improved due to better overall execution into
the secondary markets. However, net interest income declined and offset this
improvement due to the relatively flatter yield curve environment. The
production expenses to production ratio decreased 13 basis points, or 18%, for
the first six months of 1998 as compared to the first six months of 1997.
Generally, this relates to better leverage of fixed operating expenses in the
higher volume production environment for the first six months of 1998 versus the
comparable period of 1997. As a consequence of the foregoing, the Company's net
agency-eligible pre-tax production margin improved 8 basis points, or 24%, to 41
basis points while in absolute dollars it increased $14.6 million, or 112%.

Net Interest Income

     The following table analyzes net interest income allocated to the Company's
agency-eligible mortgage production activities in terms of rate and volume
variances of the interest spread (the difference between interest rates earned
on loans and mortgage-backed securities and interest rates paid on
interest-bearing sources of funds).

     Net interest income from agency-eligible product decreased 60% to $3.9
million for the first six months of 1998 compared to $9.7 million for the first
six months of 1997. The 135 basis point decrease in the interest-rate spread was
primarily the result of the narrower spreads between long and short-term rates
in the first six months of 1998 compared to the first six months of 1997. The
Company's mortgages and mortgage-backed securities are generally sold and
replaced within 30 to 35 days. Accordingly, the Company generally borrows at
rates based upon short-term indices, while its asset yields are primarily based
upon long-term mortgage rates.

     The Company sold agency-eligible loans during the first six months of 1998
with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $7.2 billion compared to sales of
$4.6 billion for the first six months of 1997. The amount of proceeds received
on sales of mortgage loans exceeded the initial unadjusted acquisition cost of
the loans sold by $2.5 million (3 basis points) for the first half of 1998 as
compared to $4.2 million (9 basis points) for the comparable period of the prior
year. The Company received loan origination and correspondent program
administrative fees of $19.8 million (27 basis points) on these loans during the
first six months of 1998 and $14.1 million (31 basis points) during the first
six months of 1997. The Company allocated $43.9 million (61 basis points) to
basis in mortgage servicing rights for loans sold in the first six months of
1998 as compared to $18.1 million (39 basis points) during the first six months
of 1997 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities". Consequently, net gain on sale of
agency-eligible mortgage loans increased to $66.8 million for the first six
months of 1998 versus $37.5 million for the first six months of 1997. Overall,
the increase is attributed to better execution into the secondary markets.

     Net interest income on subprime loans and accretion income on residuals was
$3.4 million and the interest rate spread was 385 basis points, for the first
six months of 1998. This was primarily the result of the larger interest rate
spreads possible for subprime product.

     Residual certificates arising from subprime securitizations are classified
as trading securities (as defined in SFAS No. 115), and changes in the fair
value of such certificates are recorded as adjustments to income in the period
of change. The Company assesses the fair value of the residual certificates
quarterly, based on an independent third party valuation. This valuation is
based on the discounted cash flows expected to be available to the holder of the
residual certificate. Significant assumptions used for purposes of the June 30,
1998 valuations are set forth below:


Discount Rate                                          13.00%

     The assumptions above are estimated based on current conditions for similar
instruments that are subject to prepayment and credit risks. Other factors
evaluated in the determination of fair value include credit and collateral
quality of the underlying loans, current economic conditions and various fees
and costs (such as prepayment penalties) associated with ownership of the
residual certificate. Although the Company believes that the fair values of its
residual certificates are reasonable given current market conditions, the
assumptions used are estimates and actual experience may vary from these
estimates. Differences in the actual prepayment speed and loss experience from
the assumptions used, could have a significant effect on the fair value of the
residual certificates.

     The Company also sold subprime mortgage loans on a whole loan basis during
the first six months of 1998. Whole loans are generally sold without recourse to
third parties with the gain or loss being calculated based on the difference
between the carrying value of the loans sold and the gross proceeds received
from the purchaser. No interest in these loans is retained by the Company.

     A reconciliation of the gain on subprime mortgage whole loan sales for the
periods indicated follows:

Summary

     The ratio of net pre-tax servicing margin to the average servicing
portfolio declined four basis points primarily due to relatively larger
increases in amortization and general and administrative expenses. The increased
amortization expense is attributable to generally higher levels of mortgage
servicing rights held for sale and the generally higher amortization expenses
required in the current higher prepay speed environment.

     Overall, the servicing division contributed $1.8 million to the first six
months of 1998 pre-tax net income, a $3.1 million, or 63%, decrease from the
$4.9 million contribution for the first six months of 1997.

     Loan servicing fees were $17.2 million for the first six months of 1998,
compared to $15.3 million for the first six months of 1997, an increase of 12%.
This increase is primarily related to an increase in the average aggregate
underlying unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced to $8.5 billion
during the first six months of 1998 from $7.3 billion during the first six
months of 1997, an increase of 17%. Similarly, amortization of mortgage
servicing rights also increased to $11.6 million during the first six months of
1998 from $8.8 million during the first six months of 1997, an increase of 32%.
The increase in amortization is primarily attributable to the growth in the
average balance of the mortgage loans serviced and the current generally higher
prepay speed environment.

     Included in loan servicing fees for the first six months of 1998 and 1997
are subservicing fees received by the Company of $422 thousand and $227
thousand, respectively. The subservicing fees are associated with temporary
subservicing agreements between the Company and purchasers of mortgage servicing
rights.

     During the first six months of 1998, the Company completed 13 sales of
mortgage servicing rights representing $4.8 billion of underlying unpaid
principal mortgage loan balances. This compares to 18 sales of mortgage
servicing rights representing $3.8 billion of underlying unpaid principal
mortgage loan balances in the first six months of 1997. The unadjusted gain on
the sale of mortgage servicing rights was $24.7 million (51 basis points) for
the first six months of 1998, up from $18.1 million (48 basis points) for the
first six months of 1997. The Company reduced this unadjusted gain by $23.6
million in the first half of 1998, versus a $15.4 million reduction during the
first six months of 1997, in accordance with SFAS No. 125.

     Laureate Realty originates commercial mortgage loans for various insurance
companies and other investors, primarily in Alabama, Florida, Indiana, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Substantially all loans
originated by Laureate Realty have been originated in the name of the investor,
and in most cases, Laureate Realty has retained the right to service the loans
under a servicing agreement with the investor. Most commercial mortgage loan
servicing agreements are short-term, and retention of the servicing contract is
dependent on maintaining the investor relationship.

     Substantially all of the Company's lease receivables are acquired from
independent brokers who operate throughout the continental United States and
referrals from independent banks. At June 30, 1998 the Company's managed lease
servicing portfolio was $125.0 million. Of this managed lease portfolio, $70.6
million was owned and $54.4 million was serviced for investors. The negative net
pre-tax leasing margin is primarily attributable to the size of the Company's
owned leasing portfolio. As this owned leasing portfolio is expanded,
management expects the net pre-tax leasing margin to improve.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income for the first six months of 1998 was $2.0 million. This
is an annualized net interest margin of 3.74% based upon average lease
receivables owned of $60.0 million and average debt outstanding of $34.4
million.

Summary

         The production revenue to pool delivery ratio declined five basis
points, or 5%, for the second quarter of 1998 as compared to the second quarter
of 1997. Generally, net gain on sale of mortgage loans (93 basis points for 1998
versus 83 basis points for 1997) improved due to better overall execution into
the secondary markets. However, net interest income declined and offset this
improvement due to the relatively flatter yield curve environment. The
production expenses to production ratio decreased 8 basis points, or 11%, for
the second quarter of 1998 as compared to the second quarter of 1997. Generally,
this relates to better leverage of fixed operating expenses in the higher volume
production environment for the second quarter of 1998 versus the comparable
period of 1997. As a consequence of the foregoing, the Company's net
agency-eligible pre-tax production margin improved 3 basis points, or 8%, to 40
basis points while in absolute dollars it increased $8.9 million, or 106%.

     Net interest income from agency-eligible product decreased 64% to $2.1
million for the second quarter of 1998 compared to $5.9 million for the second
quarter of 1997. The 153 basis point decrease in the interest-rate spread was
primarily the result of the narrower spreads between long and short-term rates
in the second quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1997. The
Company's mortgages and mortgage-backed securities are generally sold and
replaced within 30 to 35 days. Accordingly, the Company generally borrows at
rates based upon short-term indices, while its asset yields are primarily based
upon long-term mortgage rates.

     The Company sold agency-eligible loans during the second quarter of 1998
with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $3.9 billion compared to sales of
$2.6 billion for the second quarter of 1997. The amount of proceeds received on
sales of mortgage loans exceeded the initial unadjusted acquisition cost of the
loans sold by $2.3 million (6 basis points) for the second quarter of 1998 as
compared to $2.4 million (9 basis points) for the comparable period of the prior
year. The Company received loan origination and correspondent program
administrative fees of $10.9 million (28 basis points) on these loans during the
second quarter of 1998 and $7.6 million (30 basis points) during the second
quarter of 1997. The Company allocated $23.2 million (60 basis points) to basis
in mortgage servicing rights for loans sold in the second quarter of 1998 as
compared to $9.6 million (37 basis points) during the second quarter of 1997 in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities". Consequently, net gain on sale of agency-eligible mortgage
loans increased to $35.7 million for the second quarter of 1998 versus $20.4
million for the second quarter of 1997. The increase is primarily attributed to
better execution into the secondary markets.

     Net interest income on subprime loans and accretion income on residuals was
$2.1 million, and the interest rate spread was 400 basis points, for the second
quarter of 1998. This was primarily the result of the larger interest rate
spreads possible for subprime product.

third parties with the gain or loss being calculated based on the difference
between the carrying value of the loans sold and the gross proceeds received
from the purchaser. No interest in these loans is retained by the Company.

Summary

     The ratio of net pre-tax servicing margin to the average servicing
portfolio declined three basis points primarily due to relatively larger
increases in amortization and general and administrative expenses. The increased
amortization expense is attributable to generally higher levels of mortgage
servicing rights held for sale which are carried at a higher basis than older
available-for-sale mortgage servicing rights and thus require a relatively
higher periodic amortization charge.

     Overall, the servicing division contributed $0.7 million to second quarter
1998 pre-tax net income, a $1.2 million, or 61%, decrease from the $1.9 million
contribution for the second quarter of 1997.

     Loan servicing fees were $9.1 million for the second quarter of 1998,
compared to $7.8 million for the second quarter of 1997, an increase of 17%.
This increase is primarily related to an increase in the average aggregate
underlying unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced to $9.1 billion
during the second quarter of 1998 from $7.5 billion during the second quarter of
1997, an increase of 21%. Similarly, amortization of mortgage servicing rights
also increased to $6.3 million during the second quarter of 1998 from $4.7
million during the second quarter of 1997, an increase of 34%. The increase in
amortization is primarily attributable to the growth in the average balance of
the mortgage loans serviced and the higher basis in the servicing rights. As a
result, net servicing margin decreased 10% to $2.8 million during the second
quarter of 1998, from $3.1 million during the second quarter of 1997.

     Included in loan servicing fees for the first quarters of 1998 and 1997 are
subservicing fees received by the Company of $154 thousand and $79 thousand,
respectively. The subservicing fees are associated with temporary subservicing
agreements between the Company and purchasers of mortgage servicing rights.

mortgage servicing rights representing $2.3 billion of underlying unpaid
principal mortgage loan balances. This compares to ten sales of mortgage
servicing rights representing $2.1 billion of underlying unpaid principal
mortgage loan balances in the second quarter of 1997. The unadjusted gain on the
sale of mortgage servicing rights was $11.4 million (50 basis points) for the
second quarter of 1998, compared to $7.7 million (37 basis points) for the
second quarter of 1997. The Company reduced this unadjusted gain by $10.9
million in the second quarter of 1998, versus a $6.5 million reduction during
the second quarter of 1997, in accordance with SFAS No. 125.

     Laureate Realty originates commercial mortgage loans for various insurance
companies and other investors, primarily in Alabama, Florida, Indiana, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Substantially all loans
originated by Laureate Realty have been originated in the name of the investor,
and in most cases, Laureate Realty has retained the right to service the loans
under a servicing agreement with the investor. Most commercial mortgage loan
servicing agreements are short-term, and retention of the servicing contract is
dependent on maintaining the investor relationship.

     Substantially all of the Company's lease receivables are acquired from
independent brokers who operate throughout the continental United States and
referrals from independent banks. At June 30, 1998 the Company's managed lease
servicing portfolio was $125.0 million. Of this managed lease portfolio, $70.6
million was owned and $54.4 million was serviced for investors. The one basis
point net pre-tax leasing margin is primarily attributable to the size of the
Company's owned leasing portfolio. As this owned leasing portfolio is expanded,
management expects the net pre-tax leasing margin to improve.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income for the second quarter of 1998 was $1.0 million. This
is an annualized net interest margin of 3.69% based upon average lease
receivables owned of $64.6 million and average debt outstanding of $38.6
million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    During the second quarter of 1998, the Company experienced a 5% decrease in
total production originated and acquired compared to the first quarter of 1998,
from $4.1 billion during the first quarter of 1998 to $3.9 billion during the
second quarter of 1998. The June 30, 1998, locked mortgage application pipeline
(mortgage loans not yet closed but for which the interest rate has been locked)
was approximately $1.3 billion and the application pipeline (mortgage loans for
which the interest rate has not yet been locked) was approximately $0.5 billion.

    Mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities totaled $1.3
billion at June 30, 1998, versus $1.2 billion at December 31, 1997, an increase
of 8%. The Company's servicing portfolio (exclusive of loans under subservicing
agreements) increased to $9.4 billion at June 30, 1998, from $7.1 billion at
December 31, 1997, an increase of 32%.

    Short-term borrowings, which are the Company's primary source of funds,
totaled $1.3 billion at June 30, 1998, compared to $1.2 billion at December 31,
1997, an increase of 8%. The increase in the balance outstanding at June 30,
1998, resulted from increased funding requirements related to the increase in
the balance of mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities.
There were $6.4 million in long-term borrowings at June 30, 1998, compared to
6.5 million at December 31, 1997, a decrease of 2%.

    Other liabilities totaled $144 million as of June 30, 1998, compared to the
December 31, 1997, balance of $87 million, an increase of $57 million, or 66%.
The increase in other liabilities resulted primarily from an increase in the
volume of loans acquired through certain correspondent funding programs of the
Company.

    The Company continues to face the same challenges as other companies within
the mortgage banking industry and as such is not immune from significant volume
declines precipitated by a rise in interest rates or mortgage servicing rights
and residual certificate valuation declines resulting from changes in interest
rates that can lead to changing prepayment speeds or other factors beyond the
Company's control. Management of the Company recognizes these challenges and
intends to continue to manage the Company accordingly.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's primary cash-flow requirement involves the funding of loan
production, which is met primarily through external borrowings. The Company has
entered into a 364-day, $670 million warehouse line of credit provided by a
syndicate of unaffiliated banks that expires in July 1999. The credit agreement
includes covenants requiring the Company to maintain (i) a minimum net worth of
$185 million, plus net income subsequent to July 31, 1998, and capital
contributions and minus permitted dividends, (ii) a ratio of total liabilities
to net worth of not more than 8.0 to 1.0, excluding debt incurred pursuant to
gestation and repurchase financing agreements, (iii) its eligibility as a
servicer of Ginnie Mae, FHA, VA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage loans and
(iv) a mortgage servicing rights portfolio with an underlying unpaid principal
balance of at least $4 billion. The provisions of the agreement also restrict
the 



                                       40
   41

Company's ability (i) to pay dividends in any fiscal quarter which exceed 50% of
the Company's net income for the quarter or (ii) to engage significantly in any
type of business unrelated to the mortgage banking business, the servicing of
mortgage loans or equipment leasing.

    Additionally, the Company entered into a $200 million, 364-day term
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of unaffiliated banks. An $80 million
portion of the revolver facility converts in July 1999, into a four-year term
loan. The facility is secured by the Company's servicing portfolio designated as
"available-for-sale". A $70 million portion of the revolver facility matures in
July 1999, and is secured by the Company's servicing portfolio designated as
"held-for-sale". A $50 million portion of the revolver facility matures in July
1999, and is secured by a first-priority security interest in receivables on
servicing rights sold. The facility includes covenants identical to those
described above with respect to the warehouse line of credit.

    The Company has also entered into a $200 million, 364-day term subprime
revolving credit facility, which expires in July 1999. The facility includes
covenants identical to those described above with respect to the warehouse line
of credit.

    The Company was in compliance with the above-mentioned debt covenants at
June 30, 1998. Although management anticipates continued compliance, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with the debt covenants
specified for each of these financing agreements. Failure to comply could result
in the loss of the related financing.

    The Company has also entered into an uncommitted gestation financing
arrangement. The interest rate on funds borrowed pursuant to the gestation line
is based on a spread over the Federal Funds rate. The gestation line has a
funding limit of $1.2 billion.

    The Company entered into a $6.6 million note agreement in May 1997. This
debt is secured by the Company's corporate headquarters. The terms of the
agreement require the Company to make 120 equal monthly principal and interest
payments based upon a fixed interest rate of 8.07%. The note contains covenants
similar to those described above.

    RBC has a 364-day $75 million revolving credit facility to provide financing
for its leasing portfolio. The warehouse credit agreement matures in July 1999,
and contains various covenants regarding characteristics of the collateral and
the performance of the leases originated and serviced by RBC and which restrict
RBC's ability to incur debt, encumber assets, other than as collateral for the
facility, sell assets, merge, declare or pay any dividends or change its
corporate by-laws or articles of incorporation.

    The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be
adversely impacted by Year 2000 software failures. Software failures due to
processing errors potentially arising from calculations using the Year 2000 date
are a known risk. The Company is addressing this risk to the availability and
integrity of financial systems and the reliability of operational systems. For
reasons independent from the Year 2000 issue, the Company had already undertaken
an initiative to replace significant portions of its enterprise wide mortgage
systems. The new systems are Year 2000 compliant. This effort encompasses the
major systems that perform our mission 



                                       41
   42

critical functions. Several components have been installed and management has
targeted to complete these installations by December 31, 1998. The Company does
not believe that Year 2000 issues will have a material impact on its
correspondent and broker relationships. The Company is also communicating with
suppliers, dealers, financial institutions and others with which it does
business to coordinate Year 2000 conversion. The Company does not foresee a
material impact to the Company surrounding the Year 2000 compliance with such
correspondents, brokers, suppliers, dealers, financial institutions and others.
Direct costs associated exclusively with achieving Year 2000 compliance is not
expected to be material to the Company and will be incurred through 1999.

Item 2. - Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

     Effective April 1, 1997, the Company issued 943,899 shares of its common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, to those shareholders of Meritage Mortgage
Corporation, an Oregon corporation ("Meritage"), that qualified as accredited
investors within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). The stock was issued as part of the
consideration paid by the Company in exchange for all of the common stock of
Meritage in connection with the Company's acquisition of Meritage by means of
a reverse subsidiary merger. The stock was valued at $14.0375 per share for
purposes of determining the number of shares to be issued in connection with
the merger. Of the 943,899 shares issued in connection with the merger, 406,053
were issued contingent on Meritage's achieving certain levels of subprime
mortgage production in certain periods following the merger. All of the
contingent shares have been released as of June 30, 1998.

     Because the stock was issued only to accredited investors in connection
with the merger, the Company claimed an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D.
