                     Notes to Unaudited Condensed Pro Forma
            Consolidated Financial Statements For the Quarter Ended
                                 March 31, 2002
                             (Dollars in thousands)


(1)  A summary of the unaudited  condensed pro forma consolidated  statements of
     operations  adjustments to effect the merger,  prepared in accordance  with
     SEC Regulation S-X-Article 11, is as follows:

        (a) Underwriting -- These balances in the unaudited condensed pro forma
    consolidated statements of operations reflect adjustments to eliminate FBR
    Group's revenue generated from FBR Asset's secondary offerings of $4,016 for
    the three months ended March 31, 2002.

        (b) Corporate finance -- These balances in the unaudited condensed pro
    forma consolidated statements of operations reflect adjustments to
    reclassify to corporate finance revenue amounts paid by FBR Group to FBR
    Asset in connection with investment banking transactions pursuant to a fee
    sharing agreement between the companies of $288 for the three months ended
    March 31, 2002.

        (c) Principal transactions -- These balances in the unaudited condensed
    pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect adjustments to
    eliminate FBR Group's broker-dealer trading losses generated from
    transactions involving FBR Asset common stock of $171 for the three months
    ended March 31, 2002.

        (d) Base management fees and incentive allocations and fees -- These
    balances in the unaudited condensed pro forma consolidated statements of
    operations reflect adjustments to eliminate FBR Group's base management and
    incentive fees earned pursuant to its management agreement with FBR Asset of
    $1,149 and $1,698, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2002.

        (e) Net investment income -- These balances in the unaudited condensed
    pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect adjustments to
    eliminate FBR Group's income derived from its equity investment in FBR Asset
    of $4,456 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.

        (f) Dividends and other -- These balances in the unaudited condensed pro
    forma consolidated statements of operations reflect adjustments to (1)
    eliminate FBR Group's dividend income earned from its broker-dealer trading
    inventory holdings of FBR Asset of $370 for the three months ended March 31,
    2002, and (2) reclassify to corporate finance revenue amounts paid by FBR
    Group to FBR Asset in connection with investment banking transactions
    pursuant to a fee sharing agreement between the companies of $288 for the
    three months ended March 31, 2002.

        (g) Interest -- These balances in the unaudited condensed pro forma
    consolidated statements of operations reflect adjustments to record
    amortization of premiums created in purchase accounting due to the new cost
    basis of FBR Asset's mortgage-backed securities at the time of the merger of
    $5,794 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.

        The adjustments discussed above to record amortization of premiums
    established on FBR Asset's mortgage-backed securities have been prepared in
    accordance with SEC Regulation S-X -- Article 11. These adjustments,
    however, do not correspond to the mortgage-backed securities balances during
    the historical periods but are reflective of amortization that would be
    recorded in the future considering the March 31, 2003 value of FBR Asset's
    mortgage-backed securities portfolio. In purchase accounting, the March 31,
    2003 unrealized gain on these FBR Asset securities contained in other
    comprehensive income was eliminated and a new cost basis established. In
    this case, the unrealized gain creates a premium that will be amortized over
    the remaining lives of the applicable March 31, 2003 mortgage-backed
    securities. The adjustments in the pro forma financial statements reflect
    the amortization of this premium created in purchase accounting calculated
    based on the application of the effective interest method for recognizing
    interest income and includes management's assumptions with respect to
    prepayment speeds as of March 31, 2003 as required by SFAS No. 91,
    "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or
    Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases." The total additional
    premium established based on the March 31, 2003 balance sheet is $46,850 and
    based upon prepayment speeds as of March 31, 2003 substantially all would be
    amortized over approximately three and a half years.

        (h) Interest expense -- These balances in the unaudited condensed pro
    forma consolidated statements of operations reflect interest adjustments
    created in purchase accounting related to FBR Asset's interest rate swaps as
    of March 31, 2003 of $6,539 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.

    These interest rate swaps are cash flow hedges of the debt recorded on the
balance sheet used to finance the mortgage-backed securities and convert a
portion of the variable interest rate borrowings to a fixed interest rate. In
purchase accounting, the March 31, 2003 unrealized loss on these FBR Asset
derivatives of approximately $10,480 contained in other comprehensive income was
eliminated. In this case, the unrealized loss created a credit balance (i.e., a
day-one value of the derivatives) which is recorded as a liability on the
balance sheet. The day-one value of the interest rate swaps recorded as a
liability reestablishes the market rate of interest on the derivatives and
reduces the fixed rate of interest expense over the remaining lives of the
derivatives, which range from four months to sixteen months. These adjustments
are based upon the fair value of the instruments and market rates as of March
31, 2003 using the effective interest method.

        (i) Compensation and benefits and business development and professional
    services -- These balances in the unaudited condensed pro forma consolidated
    statements of operations reflect adjustments to eliminate FBR Group's
    expenses incurred as a result of FBR Asset's secondary equity offerings.

        (j) Other operating expenses -- These balances in the unaudited
    condensed pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect
    adjustments to eliminate base management and incentive fees payable by FBR
    Asset to FBR Group.

        (k) Income tax provision (benefit) -- These balances in the unaudited
    condensed pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect
    adjustments to present the tax provision of the combined entity's taxable
    REIT subsidiaries based on the effective tax rate of these subsidiaries
    during the period.

        (l) Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding -- These
    balances in the unaudited condensed pro forma consolidated statements of
    operations reflect the conversion of historical FBR Asset shares not owned
    by FBR Group based on the 3.65 exchange ratio.
