First Quarter 2004 Results

For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company reported a net loss of $5.4 million versus net income of $2.0 million for the same period for 2003. After consideration of the preferred stock charge, the Company reported a net loss to common shareholders of $6.6 million or $0.60 per common share for 2004 versus net income of $12.5 million, or $1.15 per common share for 2003. Net income per common share for 2003 included a benefit of $10.4 million from the tender offer on preferred stock completed in February 2003.

The Company reported that cash flow from its investment portfolio was $11.1 million for the first quarter 2004, versus $13.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2003. Cash flow declined in the first quarter principally as a result of reduced collections from the Company's delinquent delinquent 1) adj. not paid in full amount or on time. 2) n. short for an underage violator of the law as in juvenile delinquent.

The Company reported net interest margin before provision for loan losses on its investment portfolio of $6.4 million in the first quarter 2004 compared to $11.4 million in the first quarter 2003. After provision for loan losses, net interest margin was a negative $0.8 million versus $5.6 million in 2003. Provision for loan losses in the first quarter 2004 was $7.2 million versus $5.8 million in 2003. Provision for loan losses for the first quarter 2004 includes $6.1 million related to the Company's manufactured housing loan portfolio. The Company expects to provide a similar amount in the second quarter 2004. Beginning in the third quarter 2004, provision for loan losses should decline as the Company will have substantially reserved its remaining net credit exposure on manufactured housing loans.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at March 31, 2004, were $1.8 billion, a decline of $65.7 million from December 31, 2003. The decline in assets was primarily the result of prepayments in the Company's securitized securitized

CPR on the Company's single-family mortgage loan and securities portfolio was 30% during the quarter. Of the $1.8 billion of assets in the investment portfolio, approximately $326.8 million were adjustable-rate assets, substantially all of which were single-family loans and securities.

This was a very important event for the Company, and signals that the shareholders are solidly behind the Board and management as we pursue strategic alternatives. Currently we have $15 million of free cash to invest, which should grow to in excess of $23 million by the end of the second quarter.

The Board will be actively engaged over the coming months to review strategic alternatives with the hope of providing guidance to our shareholders over the balance of the year. The market is anticipating the Federal Reserve will begin to raise rates in the very near term, and while that will impact our investment portfolio cash flows, we believe it may provide opportunities for the Company to begin to strategically deploy its capital. The Company will be patient in that regard."

In regard to first quarter results, Mr. Stephen J. Benedetti, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, added, "First quarter 2004 results include approximately $6.0 million of provisions for loan losses on the Company's manufactured housing loan portfolio, resulting in a negative net margin of $0.8 million. The Company anticipates being substantially reserved for this credit exposure by the end of the second quarter, and barring unforeseen circumstances CIRCUMSTANCES, evidence.

Mr. Akin concluded, "The conversion of the Series A, Series B, and Series C preferred stock to Series D preferred stock and related issuance of common stock, and the issuance of the senior notes, should occur no later than the end of this month. We will pay a dividend on the Series D preferred stock for the second quarter in July. Beyond that, the Board will continue to look at attractive alternatives for the use of our capital."
