 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 totaled $25.1 million compared to $56.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 a decrease of 55.5%.

"We are pleased with our first quarter results," stated Ronald A. Klein Klein , Melanie 1882-1960.

Austrian-born British psychoanalyst who first introduced play therapy and was the first to use psychoanalysis to treat young children.
, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bingham. "Significantly, we completed Origen's second securitization of $135 million of manufactured home loans, in which 18 investors participated. Our volume was disappointing as we saw a decline in credit worthy borrowers, however, we are encouraged by the continued improved performance in our collection results in the first quarter. While the industry continues to experience difficulties, Origen continues to move ahead with new initiatives, most notably the opening of our new mortgage origination Origination

The process through which a mortgage lender creates a mortgage secured by some amount of the mortgagor's real property.

Notes:
Also known as loan origination, everyone must go through the origination process when securing a mortgage for a piece of real
 center in February 2002. The new mortgage origination center allows us to take advantage of the current trend towards land-home business."

"Going forward, we anticipate operating losses operating loss

The excess of operating expenses over revenue. As with operating income, operating losses exclude revenues and expenses from operations that are not considered a regular part of the business. Also called deficit. Compare operating income.
 over the next two quarters as we re-build our manufactured home loan portfolio for an anticipated fourth quarter securitization. Also, as we have previously reported, we continue to look for additional sources of capital to allow us to continue to grow our business," Klein concluded.

Total revenue was $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, a decrease of 29.1%. The decrease in revenue is primarily related to decreases in loan origination and servicing fees related to our commercial mortgage loan subsidiary, which assets were sold in June 2001. The decrease in revenue was also a result of an approximate $1.1 million decrease in the gain on sale of loans recorded on the securitization completed in the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to the securitization completed in the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

Interest income on loans was $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, a decrease of 11.4%. The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in the average yield on the loan receivable portfolio, which was 10.85% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 versus 11.54% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $1.4 million, compared to $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, a decrease of 51.7%. The decrease is primarily a result of the decrease in the average LIBOR LIBOR

 rate of approximately 392 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2001. Bingham's current financing sources are primarily variable rate facilities that use the 30-day LIBOR rate as an index.

General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $4.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to $5.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, a decrease of 6.0%. Personnel costs, the largest component of general and administrative expenses, decreased to $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 versus $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, a 12.8% decrease. The decrease is principally due to a decrease in staff and incentive commissions related to lower loan originations.

Bingham also announced today that it received a Nasdaq Staff Determination, dated May 14, 2002, indicating that Bingham is not in compliance with the minimum equity and net tangible assets Net Tangible Assets
