NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2001 (unaudited) 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS: Organization Primecore Mortgage Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed on March 18, 1999 (inception) and commenced operations effective May 1, 1999 as a real estate investment trust (REIT). We are engaged in the business of funding and holding short-term construction mortgage loans secured by single-family and multi-unit residential real property, as well as land acquisition and development loans secured by undeveloped real property, located in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We are managed by Primecore Funding Group, Inc., a California corporation located in Menlo Park, California. Our manager is responsible for origination and servicing of the construction mortgage loans we invest in, and receives a contractually-set monthly management fee. Capitalization We have authorized 50,000,000 shares of capital stock with a $0.01 par value; 40,000,000 shares are designated Class A Convertible Preferred (Preferred Stock), and 10,000,000 shares are designated as common. At March 31, 2001, there were 100 shares of common stock outstanding, all held by William Whitlow, Susan Fox and Michael Rider, who are employees and officers of our manager. Ms. Fox owns all of the stock of our manager. The 21,037,719 and 19,946,445 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, rank senior to our common stock as to dividends and liquidation rights. The shares are convertible into, and have voting rights equal to, the same number of shares of our common stock. We will not pay any dividends to the holders of the common stock so long as any Preferred Stock is outstanding. Preferred stock dividends are paid monthly in arrears and were $0.29 per share (based on weighted average preferred shares outstanding of 20,698,831) for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $0.28 per share (based on weighted average preferred shares outstanding of 18,993,468) for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The terms of our dividend reinvestment plan permit our shareholders to reinvest dividends in additional shares of Preferred Stock, currently at $10 per share. Holders of our Preferred Stock do not have a right to redeem their shares. Our Board of Directors, however, currently has a stock redemption policy for shareholders who wish to sell their shares to us. The policy may be modified or terminated at the Board's discretion at any time. Currently, we will repurchase shares at $10.00 per share if we have cash available for redemption. Cash available for redemption is determined at the Board of Director's sole discretion, and is net of current expenses, anticipated expenses, dividends, debt obligations and reserves for operating funds. We will not sell or otherwise liquidate any portion of our mortgage loan portfolio or other assets to fund a redemption request. We also reserve the right to limit the number and frequency of stock redemptions by any shareholder. We completed two private placements of our Preferred Stock in 1999 at $10 per share. The first placement sold a total of 18,048,772 shares between March 31, 1999 and August 31, 1999. The second placement sold an additional 1,147,743 shares of Preferred Stock between September 10, 1999 and October 29, 1999. Our manager expects that all future placements will be for cash, which will then be used primarily to fund additional loans. In connection with the private placements completed in 1999, our manager paid placement costs of $187,829 on our behalf. We began a new equity private placement offering of an additional 20,000,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock at $10.00 per share in August 2000, through which we have issued 3,965,214 shares of Class A Convertible 9 PRIMECORE MORTGAGE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2001 (unaudited) Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2001, for net proceeds of $39,652,140. This placement was undertaken to purchase and fund additional and existing construction mortgage loans and for working capital purposes. This placement is ongoing, and is presently scheduled to close on or before August 31, 2001. Risk Factors General Economic Conditions in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. Properties securing repayment of the mortgage loans are located in the San Francisco Bay Area and primarily in Silicon Valley. Since the properties secured by the mortgage loans are located in a limited geographical region, these mortgage loans may be subject to a greater risk of delinquency or default if the industries concentrated there suffer adverse economic or business developments. Other. In addition, we are subject to other significant business and financial risks, including but not limited to liquidity, the prevailing market for residential real estate, interest rates, dependence on our manager, timely completion of projects, lack of borrower diversification, and potential environmental matters relating to properties on which we have made loans. For additional information see Risk Factors set forth in our Form 10-K dated March 30, 2001. Retained Deficit We had a retained deficit as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 because we pay dividends to the holders of our Preferred Stock based on our taxable income, in accordance with REIT requirements. Our taxable income differs from income measured in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles due to timing differences in the recognition of income from our investments in real estate. See Income Taxes in Note 2 below. These dividend distributions are expected to be matched by revenues from completed real estate projects in future periods, as described in Note 2. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2001, and December 31, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of March 31, 2001 and for the period then ended. Use of Estimates These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States using the accrual method of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 10 PRIMECORE MORTGAGE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2001 (unaudited) Investments in Real Estate under Development and Investments in Real Estate under Development by Affiliates All of our loans are classified for financial reporting purposes as investments in real estate under development or investments in real estate under development by affiliates (Notes 3 and 4). Such investments include capitalized interest and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Management conducts a review for impairment on an investment-by-investment basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an investment may not be recoverable. An impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), typically from the sale of a completed property, are less than the carrying amount of the investment. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies to a considerable extent on assumptions regarding current and future economic and market conditions. If, in future periods, there are changes in the estimates or assumptions incorporated into the impairment review analysis, the changes could result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of the investments. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over its estimated fair value, less estimated disposition costs, will be charged to income. As of March 31, 2001, we believe there were no impairments of the carrying values of our investments. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in financial institutions and other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Income from Completed Real Estate Development Our investment objective is to make construction mortgage loans on projects we believe are likely to ultimately sell for an amount sufficient to repay the principal plus interest of those loans at the agreed upon rate. We do not intend to own or develop property and do not participate in the profit realized by the borrower, including affiliated borrowers, upon sale of the property. We recognize income from our investments in real estate under development upon the sale or refinancing of the completed real estate to or by a third party. Income is deferred, along with related points, until the property is sold or refinanced. We compute income as cash received (which includes amounts funded, accrued interest and points) less the carrying value of the investments at the date of repayment (which includes amounts funded and capitalized interest costs). Income Taxes To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must currently distribute at least 90 percent of our taxable income. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level federal income tax on net income we distribute currently to our shareholders. As such, no provision for federal income taxes is included in our financial statements. Such taxes are the responsibility of the individual shareholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. 11 PRIMECORE MORTGAGE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2001 (unaudited) Net income for financial reporting purposes also differs from net income for tax reporting primarily due to differences in the method of revenue recognition for arrangements classified as loans for income tax purposes and equity-method investments in real estate under development for financial reporting purposes. The following table outlines the primary differences between financial reporting income and taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000: Three Months Ended Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 March 31, 2000 --------------------- ------------------- Net income, as reported...................................... $ 812,065 $ 1,268 Less: Income from completed real estate development (3,978,796) (2,666,240) Capitalized interest.............................. (1,278,450) (427,226) Add: Accrued interest income on loans and related points earned............................................. 10,468,781 8,228,271 Other 56,250 -- --------------------- ------------------- Taxable income................................................ $ 6,079,850 $ 5,136,073 ==================== =================== Preferred stock dividends..................................... $ 5,951,458 $ 5,366,223 ===================== =================== Net Income Per Share of Common Stock Per share amounts for our common stock are computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Net income used in the calculation is reduced by dividends owed to preferred shareholders. The diluted weighted average common shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of stock options and other common stock equivalents. There are currently no stock options or other dilutive common stock equivalents, and as a result, the basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, are the same and are 100 shares. 3. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE UNDER DEVELOPMENT: We make loans with maturity dates generally ranging from 12 to 18 months. For financial reporting purposes, we apply the equity method of accounting for our investments. Investments in real estate under development represent funds advanced in cash plus capitalized interest on arrangements in effect at any particular time. Since real estate under development generates no operating income, we do not accrue any income for financial reporting purposes until the sale or refinancing of a property. The income that we ultimately realize is based upon the terms of the construction mortgage loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, interest rates on loans outstanding ranged from 11 percent to 18 percent. In addition, we charged points, which were typically 4 percent of the borrowed amount during that same period. 12 PRIMECORE MORTGAGE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2001 (unaudited) The following table summarizes our portfolio of investments in real estate under development at March 31, 2001: Interest Maturity Dates Commitment Carrying Location - County Rates Amount Amount - -------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ -------------------- Alameda 11.00-11.50% 04/01-10/01 21,095,000 5,451,042 Contra Costa 11.00% 11/01 14,500,000 3,336,811 Marin 11.00-18.00% 03/01-02/02 56,295,000 31,842,402 Monterey 11.50% 04/01-05/02 35,200,000 16,676,839 San Francisco 11.25-11.50% 07/01-10/01 24,065,000 14,036,483 San Mateo 11.00-13.00% 04/01-06/02 82,785,230 41,969,087 Santa Clara 11.00-13.00% 04/01-04/02 86,895,000 54,655,631 Other 11.00-11.25% 05/01-06/01 17,665,000 10,691,339 --------------------- -------------------- $ 338,500,230 $178,659,634 ===================== ==================== Earned but unrecognized interest and points on loans outstanding at March 31, 2001 totaled $34,372,093. These amounts will be recognized as income from completed real estate development upon the sale or refinancing of the underlying property. We will fund unfunded commitments on existing loans from the repayment of other loans, borrowings on our line of credit (Note 6), issuance of short-term notes payable or issuance of additional Preferred Stock. We believe we will have adequate sources of capital to fund these commitments when and as they become due. As of March 31, 2001, we had one loan which had not been paid by its stated maturity date. The loan is bearing interest at the default rate and the borrower has been making principal paydowns under an agreed upon payment schedule which provides for full payment by May 31, 2001. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, we capitalized $1,035,898 of interest expense to investments in real estate under development . 4. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE UNDER DEVELOPMENT BY AFFILIATES: We have also made loans to affiliates of our manager acting as the developer. These arrangements are accounted for in a manner identical to that described in Note 3 above. The following table summarizes our portfolio of investments in real estate under development by affiliates at March 31, 2001: Interest Maturity Commitment Carrying Location - County Rates Dates Amount Amount - -------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ -------------------- -------------------- San Mateo 11.25% 10/01-12/01 12,100,000 6,701,532 Santa Clara 11.00-11.50% 04/01-04/02 57,750,000 32,774,694 -------------------- -------------------- $ 69,850,000 $ 39,476,226 ==================== ==================== Earned but unrecognized interest and points on loans outstanding at March 31, 2001 totaled $9,297,550. Such amounts will be recognized as income from completed real estate development upon the sale or refinancing of the underlying property. 13 PRIMECORE MORTGAGE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2001 (unaudited) During the three months ended March 31, 2001, we capitalized $242,552 of interest expense to investments in real estate under development by affiliates. 5. NOTES PAYABLE: We had unsecured borrowings of $31,875,983 at March 31, 2001 compared with $38,787,264 at December 31, 2000 on notes issued to accredited investors through private placements. These notes have varying maturities of up to one year from the date of issuance. The notes bear interest at rates between 10 and 13 percent with interest payable monthly in arrears. Notes issued prior to September 29, 2000 are callable at the option of the note holder upon 60 day written notice, subject to availability of funds. Notes issued by us after September 29, 2000 may be redeemed at our option before their stated maturity. At March 31, 2001, $7,626,480 of our unsecured notes payable was due to our officers, directors or employees of our manager compared with $7,622,535 at December 31, 2000. 6. LINES OF CREDIT: We have a $10,000,000 line of credit with a commercial bank. The amount borrowed under the line of credit at March 31, 2001, was $8,592,937, compared with $6,644,692 at December 31, 2000. Repayment is secured by our assets and is guaranteed by our manager and another affiliate. The line of credit carries interest at prime plus 1.25 percent (9.25 percent at March 31, 2001) and matures in September 2001. The terms of the line of credit require, among other provisions, that we maintain total equity of no less than $150,000,000, a debt to equity ratio of less than 1.5 to 1.0 and quarterly net income from operations of at least $500,000. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2001. 7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES: Management Fees A management agreement dated March 30, 1999 and amended on October 1, 2000 between us and our manager provides for a monthly fee payable in arrears equal to 0.25 percent of the total commitment amount of the loans in our investments in real estate under development and in our investments in real estate under development by affiliates. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the portfolio management fees earned by our manager were $3,122,154, compared with $2,465,052 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Payable to Affiliate The $2,434,447 and $236,972 payable to affiliate at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, represents short-term advances to us by our manager to facilitate our cash management. Our manager charges us an interest rate of 11 percent per annum on the outstanding balance which amounted to $14,119 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with $1,997 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This amount has been capitalized to investment in real estate under development and investment in real estate under development by affiliates. 14 PRIMECORE MORTGAGE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2001 (unaudited) 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Litigation We are involved in legal actions relating to our investments in real estate under development arising in the normal course of our business. We believe the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such legal actions, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. General Uninsured Losses We require that our borrowers carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood, extended coverage, and rental loss insurance with policy specifications, limits, and deductibles customarily carried for similar properties. We also carry stop-gap insurance to cover losses in case a borrower's policy lapses. There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Further, all of the investments are located in areas that are subject to earthquake activity. Should an investment sustain damage as a result of an earthquake, we may incur losses due to insurance deductibles, co-payments on insured losses, or uninsured losses. Should an uninsured loss occur, we could lose our investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from an investment. 15 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General Our material financial transactions have been purchasing and holding a portfolio of construction mortgage loans. Statements contained in this Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, which are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Investors are cautioned not to attribute undue certainty to these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q filing. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this registration statement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, other than as required by law. Overview Subject to the direction and oversight of our Board of Directors, our day-to-day operations are managed by our manager. We have no employees. We began operations on May 1, 1999, concurrent with the first interim closing of a private offering of 14,575,664 shares of our Class A Convertible Preferred stock at $10 per share primarily in exchange for beneficial interests in trust deeds on real property securing loans and accrued interest totaling $145,756,640. Purchasers of our shares were primarily investors in trust deeds managed by Primecore Funding Group, Inc. who invested in those trust deeds before our formation and exchanged their interests for our stock at $10 per share on a dollar for dollar basis. A third and final closing was completed as of August 31, 1999. A total of 18,048,772 shares were sold. We completed a second private placement on October 29, 1999, resulting in the issuance of 1,147,743 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred stock. All real property securing the trust deeds received in these transactions was either under development or held for development. We undertook these placements to provide for our initial capitalization and to convert the trust deed interests of Primecore Funding Group, Inc. clients into shares of our Class A Convertible Preferred stock. We began a new equity private placement offering of an additional 20,000,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock at $10.00 per share in August 2000, through which we have issued 3,965,214 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2001, for net proceeds of $39,652,140. This placement was undertaken to purchase and fund additional and existing construction mortgage loans and for working capital purposes. This placement is ongoing, and is presently scheduled to close on or before August 31, 2001. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and as such, are required to distribute at least 90 percent of our taxable income annually, subject to adjustments. Our manager expects that the cash for such distributions will be generated from our day-to-day operations, although we may also borrow funds to make distributions. We may experience high volatility in financial reporting net income and tax basis income from quarter to quarter and year to year, primarily as a result of fluctuations in timing of completion of our investments in real estate under development, interest rates, and general economic conditions in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Our operating results will depend, in part, upon our ability to manage our interest rate and credit risks while maintaining our REIT status. Results of Operations Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2001. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, after reducing net income by dividends of $5,951,458 paid to preferred shareholders, net loss allocable to common shareholders was $5,139,393, or a loss of $51,394 per weighted average common share, compared with a net loss allocable to common shareholders for three months ended March 31, 2000 of $5,364,955, or $53,650 per weighted average common share. 16 The loans we make are considered real estate acquisition, development and construction ("ADC") investments for financial reporting purposes. As of March 31, 2001, our ADC investments totaled approximately $218,136,000, compared with approximately $216,413,000 at December 31, 2000. Funding commitments on these loans totaled approximately $408,350,000 at March 31, 2001 and $436,383,000 at December 31, 2000. For a discussion of these loan arrangements, see the notes to the financial statements. We realized substantially all of our revenue from repayment of loans on completed real estate developments, comprised of interest income earned at accrual rates ranging from 11 to 13 percent over the life of the loan investments and loan points of 4 percent of the loan commitment amounts, less capitalized interest. Income from completed real estate developments totaled approximately $3,979,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with approximately $2,666,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. As investments in real estate under development for financial reporting purposes, our loans are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in our financial statements. We do not carry a reserve for loan losses. We will write-down the carrying value of an impaired loan to net realizable value if we learn of deterioration in economic or market conditions or other events that have adversely affected the value of the loan before it is repaid. If we incur a loss upon repayment of a loan, the loss will be charged to income. Any write-down or loss will have a direct, adverse effect upon our earnings. As of March 31, 2001, there were no impairments of the carrying values of our investments. See note 2 to our financial statements. The following table summarizes the differences between net income under GAAP, and taxable income: Three months ended Three months ended March 31, 2001 March 31, 2000 ---------------------- ---------------------- Net income (loss) as reported.................... $ 812,065 $ 1,268 Net effect of GAAP tax timing differences due to ADC accounting........ 5,211,535 5,134,805 Other differences........................... 56,250 -- ---------------------- ---------------------- Taxable income...................................... $ 6,079,850 $ 5,136,073 ---------------------- ---------------------- Preferred stock dividends.......................... $ 5,951,458 $ 5,366,223 ====================== ====================== We incurred expenses of $3,166,812 during the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $2,665,004 during the three months ended March 31, 2000. Management fees were $3,122,154 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with $2,465,052 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in management fees is attributable primarily to the increase in the management fee from .22% per month to .25% per month of the total loan commitment amount. Interest cost associated with our notes payable and secured line of credit was $1,278,450 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $427,226 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Our interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2001 was higher than in the three months ended March 31, 2000 due to the increase in the amount of unsecured notes payable resulting from our inability to issue shares of preferred stock as we processed our Form 10/A registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All interest incurred in 2001 and 2000 has been capitalized. General administrative and other expenses were $44,658 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $199,952 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. We have no employees, and our general and administrative and other expenses consist primarily of professional fees. The decrease in professional fees is attributable to first time costs related to becoming an SEC registrant in June 2000. 17 Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity means the need for, access to and uses of cash. Our principal demands for liquidity are cash for operations, including funds that are required to satisfy obligations under existing loan commitments, interest expense associated with our indebtedness, debt repayments and distributions to shareholders. As of March 31, 2001, we had a bank overdraft of $1,656,957 because all our cash is automatically used to pay down our line of credit. In the near term, our principal sources of liquidity are the funds available from issuance of unsecured notes payable, sales of preferred stock under this private placement and repayments of our real estate investments. We had unsecured borrowings of $31,875,983 at March 31, 2001 on our Series A and Series B notes compared with $38,787,264 at December 31, 2000, issued to accredited investors through private placements. The notes have varying maturities of up to one year from the date of issuance and bear interest at rates between 10 and 13 percent with interest payable monthly in arrears. We expect that proceeds generated from completed real estate developments and additional equity placements and note issuances will be sufficient to fully repay notes on or before their scheduled maturity dates. We have a $10,000,000 line of credit with a commercial bank. Repayment is secured by our assets, is guaranteed by our manager and another affiliate, carries interest at prime plus 1.25 percent (9.25 percent at March 31, 2001) and matures in September 2001. Outstanding borrowings under the line of credit as of March 31, 2001 were $8,592,937. Affiliates and Significant Borrowers. Loans assumed by, or made to, our affiliates represent a material portion of our investment portfolio. As of March 31, 2001, loans assumed by or made to our affiliates represented 17% of our loan commitments and 18% of the funded portion of those commitments. As of December 31, 2000, loans assumed by or made to our affiliates represented 17% of our loan commitments and 19% of the funded portion of those commitments. In contrast, no unaffiliated borrower had loans exceeding 10% of our total loans outstanding as of March 31, 2001 or December 31, 2000. Our affiliates are entities with whom we share common control through common management. For example, Primecore Funding Group, Inc. is our affiliate because Susan Fox owns 100% of its stock and is its sole director. She is also an executive officer of Primecore Funding Group, Inc., as is Mr. Rider. To the extent that Ms. Fox is the director of Primecore Funding Group, Inc. and is one of our directors, her position in management is common to both Primecore Funding Group, Inc. and us. Eprime, Inc. is our affiliate and is a California corporation, incorporated March 21, 2000. Ms. Fox is the sole shareholder and director. She is the president and secretary, and Mr. Rider is the chief financial officer. Eprime, Inc. does not have any employees, does not provide any services to us and does not receive any compensation from us. Primecore Properties, Inc. is our affiliate and is a California corporation, incorporated in 1997. Ms. Fox is its sole shareholder and one of its directors. Primecore Properties, Inc. is licensed by the California Department of Real Estate as a real estate corporation. Theresa May Couture is licensed as an individual real estate broker and is the designated broker-officer of Primecore Properties, Inc. Primecore Properties, Inc. does not receive any compensation from us, but does provide services to us for certain activities that require a California real estate broker license. Those services are performed for us under the terms of our management agreement with Primecore Funding Group, Inc. There are currently no arrangements for us to separately compensate Primecore Properties, Inc. for those services, although we continue to pay a management fee to Primecore Funding Group, Inc. See "Management Fees." 99 Investors, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company, is our affiliate. Ms. Fox is its sole member. It does not have any employees, does not perform any services for us and does not receive any compensation or benefits from us. 18 99 El Camino Partners LLC is our affiliate and a California limited liability company. Ms. Fox is the sole member. The partnership has no employees, does not provide any services to us and does not receive any compensation or benefits from us. 99 El Camino Partners owns the property at 99 El Camino Real, Menlo Park, California, our principal place of business and that of our affiliates. The following is a summary of loans assumed by our affiliates as of March 31, 2001, categorized by loan number, project name, affiliate, commitment amount, funded amount and percentage funded. The funded balance represents the total amount advanced towards a loan. The funded amount may differ from the loan balance outstanding as a result of payments received from the sales of property secured by the loan. Also, included in the funded amount are loan fees and interest charged to the borrower, which are not reported under generally accepted accounting principles.

In November 1999 the sole shareholder of Windy Hill Associates started proceedings to dissolve the corporation. Before the dissolution, Susan Fox was the president of Windy Hill Associates, and was managing its operations to ensure that the loans were kept current. Upon notice of dissolution of the corporation, Ms. Fox was replaced as president by the sole shareholder, and the loans went into default. A foreclosure sale was scheduled for March 22, 2000. On March 22, 2000, Eprime, Inc., purchased what is currently designated as our loan no. 2447, for the then existing loan balance of $11,321,061. A blanket, second deed of trust lien against several parcels secured the loan. Eprime, Inc. foreclosed on the second deed of trust and took title to all of those parcels, subject to existing senior liens. Those parcels are encumbered by separate, senior deeds of trust (our loan nos. 2354, 2355, and 2376). The note purchase and assumption agreement for all of these loans includes guarantees of repayment and the pledge of additional security from Primecore Funding Group, Inc., 99 Investors, LLC and the Susan M. Fox 1996 Revocable Trust dated April 26, 1996. All loans are current, and construction is on schedule. The loan assumed by 99 Investors, LLC is secured by a junior deed of trust on property originally to be developed by Windy Hill Associates. Loan no. 2330 was assumed in September 1999. 19 Loan no. 2404 was made to 99 Investors, LLC in September 1999. Repayment is secured by a single junior deed of trust on 7 lots in Los Altos, California. The loan is for development of 7 single-family residences. Construction is scheduled for completion in July 2001. The loan is current and construction is on schedule. Loan nos. 2427-29 were made to 99 Investors, LLC in March 2000. Repayment is secured by junior deeds of trust. The developments are single family residences in Los Altos Hills. Construction is scheduled for completion in September 2001. The loans are current and construction is on schedule. Loan nos. 2455 and 2469 were made to 99 Investors, LLC in April and September 2000, respectively. Repayment is secured by junior deeds of trust. The developments are single family residences in Atherton, California. Construction is scheduled for completion in October, and December 2001, respectively. The loans are current and construction is on schedule. Because of changes in the scope of construction and general cost increases during development of projects, additional funds are sometimes needed to complete a project. We will grant an additional extension of credit if our management believes repayment of the increased extension of credit is adequately secured. This is true of any development we invest in, whether the borrower is affiliated or not. See Note 4 of our financial statements for further detail on investments in real estate under development by affiliates as of March 31, 2001. Also see the discussion under the headings "We have a potential conflict of interest with our affiliates" and "We have a potential conflict of interest with our investors" in our registration statement on Form 10-12G/A filed February 14, 2001. Payable to Affiliate There is $2,434,447 payable to an affiliate at March 31, 2001 and a $236,972 payable at December 31, 2000, on our financial statements, representing short-term advances by our manager to us. Our manager typically advances these funds to us to facilitate cash management and charges us an interest rate of 11 percent per annum on the outstanding balance. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. An investment in our stock involves a high degree of risk. Among other things, some of the principal risks are: the real estate lending business may be adversely affected by periods of economic slowdown, which may be accompanied by declining real estate values on properties securing repayment of loans; construction mortgage loans involve greater risks of repayment than loans secured by property that has already been improved since completion market valuation of a given project can be highly speculative and subject to unanticipated conditions; there is no public market for our securities, and liquidity is not assured; under our business model, loan commitments will generally exceed immediately available cash resources, and failure to obtain repayment of loans in our portfolio, or a failure to maintain sufficient equity would affect our ability to fund commitments; since we have no employees, if our manager refused or became unable to continue to serve us, and a proper replacement were not found, this would materially impact our business. We make loans at fixed rates of interest. To the extent that prevailing market interest rates change during the holding period, the value of our loans may be either adversely or positively affected. When a loan matures, generally within a 12 to 18 month period, it is subject to a new interest rate, determined by us, based upon current conditions. Since we intend to hold all loans until they are repaid, we do not believe that changes in market interest rates have a material impact on the value of the Company. 20 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. We are involved in legal actions relating to our investments in real estate under development arising in the normal course of our business. We believe the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such legal actions, will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operation, or cash flows. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. (a) Not Applicable. (b) Not Applicable. (c) Sales of Equity Securities. Between January 1, 2001 and March 31, 2001, we sold and issued 1,124,152 shares of our Class A Convertible Preferred stock. Purchasers of such Class A Convertible Preferred stock paid $10 per share. Purchasers of our Class A Convertible Preferred stock were accredited investors as defined in Regulation D, Rule 501 (a) (4), (5) or (6) under the 1933 Securities Act. Each investor signed a subscription agreement which included representations that the investor had sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investments generally, and of the investment in our stock and the investor was able to bear the economic risk of the investment. Each investor further acknowledged the investor understood the entire investment could be lost. The sales of stock were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Regulation D, Rule 506. Appropriate legends were placed on each stock certificate. No underwriters were involved and no underwriting commissions were paid in any of the transactions. The terms of conversion of the stock have been previously reported. (d) Not Applicable. ITEM 3.
