Summary of Three and Nine Month Financial Results

Total revenues

Total revenue increased $7.9 million and $31.5 million to $65.5 million and $196.8 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003, respectively, from total revenue of $57.6 million and $165.3 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2002, respectively. The increase in total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2003 from the same period a year ago resulted primarily from a $12.7 million increase in gain on sale of loans over amounts reported during the same period a year ago which was partially offset by decreases of $3.1 million and $1.8 million in interest income and loan servicing, respectively. Total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2003 also includes the $0.1 million of debt extinguishment income.

The $31.5 million increase in total revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2003 over total revenue during the comparable nine month period a year ago is due primarily to higher gain on sale of loans and debt extinguishment income. The increase was partially offset by an increase in the write-down Write-Down

The $16.5 million increase in total expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2003 over total expense during the same nine month period in 2002 was attributable to increases of $14.7 million, $3.8 million and $3.0 million in personnel, production and general and administrative expenses, respectively, partially offset by a $5.0 million decline in interest expense.

The increase in the National Loan Centers' production during the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2003 over their production levels during the comparable periods in 2002 was due, in part, to a continuation of the generally favorable mortgage interest rate environment during those periods as compared to the same periods in 2002. Additionally, the increase in the National Loan Centers' production during the nine months ended March 2003 over that of a year ago was due, in part, to the fact that March 2002 period production included loan production from the Company's second National Loan Center that commenced operation in November 2001.

Total Broker Production. The Company's total broker loan production during the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $622.6 million, a decrease of $167.9 million, or 21.2%, from the $790.5 million of total broker production reported during the three months ended December 31, 2002, and increased $219.1 million, or 54.3%, over the $403.5 million of total broker loan production during the three months ended March 31, 2002.

The decrease in the Company's total broker production during the three months ended March 31, 2003 when compared to such production during the three months ended December 31, 2002 was due primarily to seasonality factors in the 2003 period. The increase in the Company's total broker production during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2002 was attributable to improved market penetration Noun 1. market penetration - the extent to which a product is recognized and bought by customers in a particular market
