 volume increased to $1.612 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 1998, an 82.1% increase from $885.4 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 1997. Total home equity, home improvement and other residential mortgage loan origination volume for the six months ended September 30, 1997 increased to $3.032 billion, a 93.9% increase from $1.564 billion for the corresponding period of fiscal 1997. Originations from our retail-focused subsidiaries were $277.3 million of home equity, home improvement and other residential mortgage loans during the second quarter, and $530.4 million for the first half of fiscal 1998.

Its manufactures include lightning- and surge-protection equipment, packaging for foods, and auto parts. , President and Chief Executive Officer of ContiFinancial. "We expect originations in the western states to exceed 30% of the total by the end of fiscal 1998. We also expect our retail subsidiaries to produce about 20% of our total residential loan originations in fiscal 1998." With a managed portfolio of $8.2 billion at September 30, 1997, ContiMortgage is among the largest servicers of non-conforming home equity loans.

The Company's move into retail origination has resulted in a change in the profile of the income statement. Retail origination expenses focus heavily on compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses, whereas with wholesale originators, such as ContiMortgage, costs of origination in the form of premiums are netted from "gain on sale of receivables Receivables

, largely offset by higher income from origination points and other cash income included in gain on sale results.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the cash component of gross income (net of interest expense) was $84.6 million, or 71.9%, and the cash component of gain on sale was 66.2%. Total operating expenses (compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses) increased by 160.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 1997. The retail originators, Resource One Consumer Discount Company, Royal MortgageBanc, United Lending Group and Triad Financial (56% owned), each acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 1997, comprised 68.8% of the increase, or 42.4% of total operating expenses. At September 30, the retail originators represented 57.4% of the Company's total headcount head count or head·count

 of 2,094 or 77% of the increase in headcount from one year ago. Excluding the impact of the retail originators, ContiFinancial's operating expenses increased 49.9%, which is in line with ContiMortgage's 50.8% increase in origination and servicing volume (excluding acquisitions) for the second fiscal quarter.

For the six months ended September 30, 1997, cash income included in gross income (net of interest expense) was $144.7 million, or 67.0%, and the cash component of gain on sale was 58.5%. Total operating expenses increased by 176.6% in the second half of fiscal 1998, compared with fiscal 1997. The retail originators comprised 66.7% of the increase, or 42.6% of total operating expenses. Excluding the impact of the retail originators, ContiFinancial's operating expenses increased 58.7%, which is in line with ContiMortgage's 60.0% increase in origination and servicing volume (excluding acquisitions) for the six months ended September 30, 1997.

 rate on ContiMortgage's servicing portfolio as of September 30, 1997 was 4.27%, as compared to 3.68% as of June 30, 1997, in line with the levels projected for fiscal 1998 and well below comparable industry averages. Delinquencies have fluctuated between 3.11% and 4.56% for the past twelve months and are expected to fluctuate in the 3.75% to 4.50% range for the fiscal year. The default portfolio remained relatively stable at 4.97%, down slightly from 5.05% at June 30, 1997. Included in the default total were loans performing under bankruptcy bankruptcy, in law, settlement of the liabilities of a person or organization wholly or partially unable to meet financial obligations. The purposes are to distribute, through a court-appointed receiver, the bankrupt's assets equitably among creditors and, in most  plans and REO's, making up 0.62% and 0.53% of the servicing portfolio, respectively, compared with 0.75% and 0.48%, respectively, as of June 30, 1997.

Net losses for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 were $9.2 million, or 0.120% of average serviced loans outstanding, as compared with $5.0 million, or 0.074% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. As the portfolio seasons, management expects net losses over the next year will be in the range of 0.40% - 0.45% on a trailing twelve month basis annualized annualized

. Net losses as a percentage of average serviced home equity loans outstanding were 0.36% for the twelve months ended September 30, 1997, as compared with 0.28% for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997.

"Management is committed to maintaining reserve levels well above actual loss experience, explained Mr. Moore. "The first and second fiscal quarter ContiMortgage securitizations were each recorded with a provision of 0.65% for annual losses to reflect expected portfolio performance. These reserves are approximately ap·prox·i·mate

2.
 150% of current experience." As of June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1997, the reserve for credit losses on ContiMortgage's portfolio was $79.4 million and $91.6 million, respectively. (Note: The reserve for credit losses is recorded in two places on the Company's balance sheet. For home equity loans that are owned by the Company, the reserve is recorded as a separate balance sheet item, "allowance for loan loss", which was $2.3 million and $2.2 million at June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1997, respectively. The reserve for home equity loans securitized is included in the valuation of excess spread receivables.)

 and loss assumptions made upon securitization, added Mr. Moore. "We have focused on the portfolio created beginning with 1994, as this encompasses approximately 96% of our ContiMortgage ESR ESR - Eric S.

From 1994 to present, the Company has received $141 million in cash on this portfolio compared to $137 million representing the projected cash receipts recorded at the dates of securitization.

"The commercial mortgage group has clearly become our second largest profit center at about 10% of our gross income and has the potential for continued, rapid growth. Our longer term goal is for the commercial mortgage group to generate about 15% of our gross income," said Mr. Moore.

"Triad booked a small loss this quarter, as we deferred securitization of its portfolio until last week, thus building net interest income and avoiding the September securitization rush, added Mr. Moore. "A private placement of $60 million was circled on October 22 at very competitive pricing, and Triad is expected to return to profitability in the second half of the year.
