NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of American
Home Mortgage Holdings, Inc. ("American Home") and its subsidiaries, American
Home Mortgage Corp. ("AHM") and Columbia National, Incorporated ("Columbia")
(collectively, the "Company"), reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim
periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Operating results
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2003. Certain
prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year
presentation.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002, included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available
to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock
outstanding, assuming all potential dilutive common shares were issued.

NOTE 6- ACQUISITIONS
Effective June 13, 2002, the Company acquired Columbia National, Incorporated
("Columbia"), a Maryland corporation. In consideration of the acquisition, the
shareholders of Columbia received $37 million in cash. Prior to the acquisition,
Columbia was an independent mortgage lender based in Columbia, Maryland.
Columbia now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Home. Columbia
engages in the origination, sale and servicing of residential first mortgage
loans.
The following table summarizes the required disclosures of the pro forma
combined entity, as if the merger occurred at the beginning of the year for the
three months ended March 31, 2002:
Revenue $53,260
Income before income taxes and minority interest $11,509
Net income $ 7,288
Earnings per share - basic $0.60
Earnings per share - diluted $0.58
During February 2003, the Company purchased the retail mortgage lending branches
of Principal Residential Mortgage, Inc. (the "Principal Branches"). The Company
paid $2.4 million in cash for the current application pipeline and the assets of
the Principal Branches consisting of 75 branches in 21 states.
NOTE 7- STOCK OPTIONS
In 1999, the Company established the 1999 Omnibus Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan"). Pursuant to the Plan, employees, officers and directors are offered the
opportunity to acquire the Company's common stock through the grant of options
and the award of restricted stock under the Plan. The total number of shares
that may be optioned or awarded under the Plan is 2,250,000 shares of common
stock. The Plan provides for the granting of options at the fair market value at
the date of grant. The options issued generally vest 50% on the two-year
anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the three-year anniversary of the grant
date and expire ten years from the grant date.
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB")
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options and awards. Under APB No. 25, no
compensation expense is recognized when the exercise prices of the options
equals the fair value (market price) of the underlying stock on the date of
grant. The Plan is a compensatory stock option plan. There was no intrinsic
value of the options granted, as the exercise price was equal to the quoted
market price at the grant date. No compensation cost has been recognized for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.
Under the Plan, the Company awarded 68,210 and 50,001 shares of restricted stock
during 2002 and 1999, respectively. During the three months ended March 31,
2003, the Company recognized compensation expense of $123 thousand relating to
restricted shares. At March 31, 2003, 50,001 shares are vested. In general,
unvested restricted stock is forfeited upon the recipient's termination of
employment.
-6-
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), requires the Company to disclose pro
forma information regarding option grants made to its employees. SFAS No. 123
specifies certain valuation techniques that produce estimated compensation
charges for purposes of valuing stock option grants. These amounts have not been
included in the Company's interim condensed consolidated statements of income,
in accordance with APB No. 25. If these amounts were included, the Company's pro
forma net income and the related basic and diluted earnings per share would have
been as follows:

There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2003. The
weighted-average fair value of options granted during the three months ended
March 31, 2002 was $4.33. The fair value of the options granted was estimated
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for the grants:
2002
Dividend yield 3.0%
Expected volatility 54.0%
Risk-free interest rate 5.0%
Expected life 3 years

NOTE 8 - SEGMENTS
The Company has two segments, the Loan Production Segment and the Loan Servicing
Segment. The Loan Production Segment originates mortgage loans through the
Company's retail and Internet branches and loans sourced through mortgage
brokers (wholesale channel). The Loan Servicing Segment includes investments in
mortgage servicing rights as well as servicing operations primarily for other
financial institutions. The Loan Servicing Segment was immaterial prior to the
acquisition of Columbia in June 2002 and thus the Loan Servicing Segment results
are included in the Loan Production Segment results in prior periods.

NOTE 9 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No.
45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN No. 45"), which
expands on the accounting guidance of SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for
Contingencies," SFAS No. 57, "Related Party Disclosures," and SFAS No. 107,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." FIN No. 45 elaborates
on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain
guarantees issued. FIN No. 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to
recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of
the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The implementation of FIN
No. 45 did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, a Clarification of Accounting Research Bulletin
(ARB) No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements" ("FIN No. 46"), which addresses
consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities ("VIEs")
when specific characteristics are met. FIN No. 46 clarifies the application of
ARB No. 51 to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the
characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient
equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support from other parties. The
-9-
provisions of FIN No. 46 are effective February 1, 2003 for new and modified
VIEs and July 1, 2003 for other entities. Management believes that the
implementation of FIN No. 46 will not have a material effect on the Company.
On April 30, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 149,
"Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is
effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for
hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company is currently
in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS No. 149 may have on its
consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company is an independent retail mortgage banking company primarily engaged
in the business of originating, selling and servicing residential mortgage
loans. The Company offers a broad array of residential mortgage products
targeted primarily to high-credit-quality borrowers. As of March 31, 2003, the
Company made loans from 206 community loan offices across the country as well as
over the Internet and through mortgage brokers. The Company operates primarily
as a mortgage banker, underwriting, funding and selling its loan products.
The Company has two segments, the Loan Production Segment and the Loan Servicing
Segment. The Loan Production Segment originates loans through the Company's
retail and Internet branches and loans sourced through mortgage brokers (the
wholesale channel). The Loan Servicing Segment includes investments in mortgage
servicing rights as well as servicing operations primarily for other financial
institutions. The Loan Servicing Segment was immaterial prior to the acquisition
of Columbia in June 2002 and thus the Loan Servicing Segment results are
included in the Loan Production Segment results in prior years.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $16.3 million or $0.96
per share on a diluted basis, compared to $6.7 million or $0.54 per share for
the same period in 2002.
Loan originations increased 126% in the three months ended March 31, 2003,
totaling $4.3 billion (including $1.0 billion and $184 million attributable to
Columbia and the Principal Branches, respectively) compared to $1.9 billion in
the same period in 2002.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE - Mortgage loans held for sale represent mortgage
loans originated and held pending sale to interim and permanent investors. The
hedged mortgage loans are carried at fair value as determined by outstanding
commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements calculated on
the aggregate loan basis, less an estimate of the costs to complete the loan,
less the deferral of fees and points received, plus the deferral of certain
direct loan origination costs. The unhedged mortgage loans are carried at the
lower of cost or fair value as determined by outstanding commitments from
investors or current investor yield requirements calculated on the aggregate
loan basis, less the deferral of fees and points received, plus the deferral of
certain direct loan origination costs. Gains or losses on such sales are
recognized at the time legal title transfers to the investor and are based upon
the difference between the sales proceeds from the final investor and the
adjusted book value of the loan sold.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS - When the Company acquires servicing assets through
either purchase or origination of loans and sells or securitizes those loans
with servicing assets retained, the total cost of the loans is allocated to the
servicing assets and the loans (without the servicing assets) based on their
relative fair values. The amount attributable to the servicing assets is
capitalized as mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") on the consolidated balance
sheets. The MSRs are amortized to expense in proportion to and over the period
of estimated net servicing income.
The MSRs are assessed for impairment based on the fair value of those assets.
The Company estimates fair value of the servicing assets by obtaining market
information from one of the primary mortgage servicing rights brokers. When the
book value of capitalized servicing assets exceeds their fair value, impairment
is recognized through a valuation allowance. In determining impairment, the
mortgage servicing portfolio is stratified by the predominant risk
characteristic of the underlying mortgage loans. The Company has determined that
the predominant risk characteristic is the interest rate on the underlying loan.
The Company measures impairment for each stratum by comparing the estimated fair
value to the recorded book value. Temporary impairment is
-11-
recorded through a valuation allowance and amortization expense in the period of
occurrence. In addition, the Company periodically evaluates its mortgage
servicing rights for other than temporary impairment to determine if the
carrying value before the application of the valuation allowance is recoverable.
When the Company determines that a portion of the mortgage servicing rights is
not recoverable, the related mortgage servicing rights and the previously
established valuation allowance are correspondingly reduced to reflect other
than temporary impairment.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Company has developed risk management
programs and processes designed to manage market risk associated with normal
business activities.
Risk Management of the Mortgage Pipeline. The Company's mortgage-committed
pipeline includes interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") that have been
extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet certain defined
credit and underwriting criteria. Effective with the adoption of SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, the
Company classifies and accounts for the IRLCs as free-standing derivatives.
Accordingly, IRLCs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value
recorded to current earnings. The fair value of the IRLCs is determined by an
estimate of the ultimate gain on sale of the loans net of estimated net costs
remaining to originate the loan. The Company uses other derivative instruments,
including mortgage forward delivery contracts and treasury futures options, to
economically hedge the IRLCs, which are also classified and accounted for as
free-standing derivatives and thus are recorded at fair value with the changes
in fair value recorded to current earnings.
Risk Management of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. The Company's risk management
objective for its mortgage loans held for sale is to protect earnings from an
unexpected charge due to a decline in value. The Company's strategy is to engage
in a risk management program involving the use of mortgage forward delivery
contracts designated as fair value hedging instruments to hedge 100% of its
agency-eligible conforming loans and most of its non-conforming loans held for
sale. At the inception of the hedge, the Company formally documents the
relationship between the forward delivery contracts and the mortgage inventory,
as well as its objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions.
The notional amount of the forward delivery contracts, along with the underlying
rate and terms of the contracts, are equivalent to the unpaid principal amount
of the mortgage inventory being hedged; hence, the forward delivery contracts
effectively fix the forward sales price and thereby substantially eliminate
interest rate and price risk to the Company. The Company classifies and accounts
for these forward delivery contracts as fair value hedges. The derivatives are
carried at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded to current
earnings. When the hedges are deemed to be highly effective, the book value of
the hedged loans held for sale is adjusted for its change in fair value during
the hedge period.
Termination of Hedging Relationships. The Company employs a number of risk
management monitoring procedures to ensure that the designated hedging
relationships are demonstrating, and are expected to continue to demonstrate, a
high level of effectiveness. Hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective
basis if it is determined that the hedging relationship is no longer highly
effective or expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value
of the hedged item. Additionally, the Company may elect to de-designate a hedge
relationship during an interim period and re-designate upon the rebalancing of a
hedge profile and the corresponding hedge relationship. When hedge accounting is
discontinued, the Company continues to carry the derivative instruments at fair
value with changes in their value recorded in earnings.
GOODWILL - Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of
net assets stemming from business acquisitions, including identifiable
intangibles. The Company will test for impairment annually or more frequently if
events or circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. In accordance
with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company tests for
impairment by comparing the fair value of goodwill, as determined by using a
discounted cash flow method, with its carrying value. Any excess of carrying
value over the fair value of the goodwill would be recognized as an impairment
loss in continuing operations. The discounted cash flow calculation includes a
forecast of the expected future loan originations and the related revenues and
expense. These cash flows are discounted using a rate that is estimated to be a
weighted average cost of capital for similar mortgage companies. The Company
further tests to ensure that the fair value of all its business units does not
exceed its total market capitalization.

Loan Production Segment
REVENUES
The Loan Production Segment total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2003,
were $102.7 million compared to $33.9 million in 2002, an increase of $68.8
million, or 202.6%. The increase was a result of increases in gains on sale of
mortgage loans, net interest income and other income.
Gain on sales of mortgage loans increased to $88.2 million for the first quarter
of 2003 from $30.6 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $57.6
million, or 188.0%. In general, the increase was the result of higher
originations, sales and pipeline values, as well as improved margins. The higher
volumes were a result of lower interest rates, which generated higher purchase
and refinance volumes from existing locations, and the acquisition of Columbia.
Interest income, net, increased to $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2003
from $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $8.6 million, or
285.6%. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in loans held for sale
and an increase in the Company's interest rate spread on loans held for sale.
Other revenue totaled $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2003 compared to
$0.3 million for the first quarter of 2002. For the quarter ended March 31,
2003, other income primarily consists of fulfillment fees of $1.9 million and
revenue from title services in the amount of $0.5 million. Fulfillment fees of
approximately $1.9 million represent non-recurring fees received from Principal
Residential Mortgage, Inc. ("PRM") for loans closed by the Company on behalf of
PRM. As part of the agreement to acquire the retail branches of PRM (the
"Principal Branches"), the Company agreed to assume the costs incurred to close
out PRM's application pipeline as of the date of the agreement on behalf of PRM
for a per loan fee. For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, other income primarily
consists of volume incentive bonuses received from loan purchasers.
EXPENSES
Salaries, commissions and benefits increased to $43.8 million for the first
quarter of 2003 from $15.0 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of
$28.8 million, or 192.2%. The increase was largely due to the inclusion of
expenses of Columbia, increased staffing levels and overtime due to increased
loan volumes, as well as the increase in loan officers due to the acquisition of
the Principal Branches.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased to $5.5 million for the first quarter
of 2003 from $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $3.1
million, or 130.7%. The increase in costs reflects the inclusion of expenses of
Columbia and the Principal Branches, the opening of new community loan offices
and greater depreciation charges as a result of the Company's increased
investments in computer networks.
Data processing and communication costs increased to $3.1 million for the first
quarter of 2003 from $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of
$1.6 million, or 112.8%. The increase was a result of the opening of new
community loan offices and the inclusion of expenses of Columbia and the
Principal Branches.
Office supplies and expenses increased to $2.7 million for the first quarter of
2003 from $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $1.5
million, or 134.4%. The increase was a result of the opening of new community
loan offices and the inclusion of expenses of Columbia and Principal the
Branches.
Marketing and promotion expenses increased to $2.8 million for the first quarter
of 2003 from $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $1.2
million, or 77.4%. The increase was primarily due to increased loan volume and
an increase in promotional expense attributable to the acquisition of the
Principal Branches.
-15-
Travel and entertainment expenses increased to $2.0 million for the first
quarter of 2003 from $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of
$1.3 million, or 203.1%. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of
expenses of Columbia and the addition of new loan originators due to the
acquisition of the Principal Branches.
Professional fees increased to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2003 from
$0.5 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $1.2 million, or
219.3%. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of expenses of
Columbia.
Other expenses increased to $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2003 from $0.7
million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $2.3 million, or 340.1%.
These expenses, which consist generally of insurance, indemnification and
foreclosure costs, outside services, storage and moving expenses and licenses
and permits, increased as a result of the inclusion of Columbia, the opening of
new community offices and higher loan production.
Income taxes increased to $15.6 million for the first quarter of 2003 from $3.7
million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of $11.9 million, or 319.0%.
Loan Servicing Segment
The Loan Servicing Segment was immaterial prior to the acquisition of Columbia
in June of 2002 and thus the Loan Servicing Segment results are included in the
Loan Production Segment results in prior periods.
The Loan Servicing Segment's total revenues for the quarter ended March 31,
2003, were a loss of $8.1 million which included a net loan servicing fees loss
of $6.4 million and interest expense, net, of $1.7 million.
Net loan servicing fees was a loss of $6.4 million for the first quarter of
2003. The servicing losses are a result of the reduction in interest rates since
the acquisition which resulted in both faster actual prepayments and higher
forecasted future prepayments than what were expected at the time of the
acquisition. The loss for the first quarter of 2003 resulted primarily from
amortization of $12.8 million and an additional temporary impairment provision
of $5.7 million, increasing the impairment reserve to $15.9 million at March 31,
2003 from $10.2 million at December 31, 2002. The impairment provision is due to
a reduction in the fair value of servicing rights attributable to an increase in
estimated future prepayment speeds. The amortization of $12.8 million is a
result of faster than expected loan repayments.
Total Loan Servicing Segment expenses are associated with the administration of
the servicing portfolio acquired through the Columbia acquisition in June 2002.
Income tax benefit was $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2003.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
To originate a mortgage loan, the Company draws against a $450 million
pre-purchase facility with UBS Paine Webber ("Paine Webber"), a $450 million
bank syndicated facility led by Residential Funding Corporation ("RFC"), a $300
million facility with CDC IXIS Capital Markets North America Inc. ("CDC") and a
facility of $75 million with Morgan Stanley Bank ("Morgan Stanley"). These
facilities are secured by the mortgages owned by the Company and by certain of
its other assets. Advances drawn under the facilities bear interest at rates
that vary depending on the type of mortgages securing the advances. These loans
are subject to sublimits, advance rates and terms that vary depending on the
type of securing mortgages and the ratio of the Company's liabilities to its
tangible net worth.
The documents governing the Company's warehouse facilities contain a number of
compensating balance requirements and restrictive financial and other covenants
that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum ratio of
total liabilities to tangible net
-16-
worth and maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, liquidity,
stockholders' equity and leverage ratios, as well as to comply with applicable
regulatory and investor requirements. The facility agreements also contain
covenants limiting the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to:
o transfer or sell assets; and
o create liens on the collateral,
without obtaining the prior consent of the lenders, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld. These limits on its subsidiaries may in turn restrict
American Home's ability, as the holding company, to pay cash or stock dividends
on its stock.
In addition, under the Company's warehouse facilities, the Company cannot
continue to finance a mortgage loan that it holds if:
o the loan is rejected as "unsatisfactory for purchase" by the
ultimate investor and has exceeded its permissible 120-day warehouse
period;
o the Company fails to deliver the applicable mortgage note or other
documents evidencing the loan within the requisite time period;
o the underlying property that secures the loan has sustained a
casualty loss in excess of 5% of its appraised value; or
o the loan ceases to be an eligible loan (as determined pursuant to
the warehousing agreement).
As of March 31, 2003, the Company's aggregate warehouse facility borrowings were
$901.7 million (including $17.8 million of borrowings under a working capital
sub-limit) and its outstanding drafts payable were $50.3 million, compared to
$728.5 million in borrowings under warehouse facilities (including $15.1 million
of borrowings under a working capital sub-limit) and $42.6 million in drafts
payable as of December 31, 2002. At March 31, 2003, the aggregate amount
available for additional borrowings under the warehouse facilities was $373
million. At March 31, 2003, its loans held for sale were $1.0 billion compared
to $811.2 million at December 31, 2002.
In addition to the Paine Webber, CDC, RFC and Morgan Stanley warehouse
facilities, the Company has purchase and sale agreements with Paine Webber,
Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. and Fannie Mae. These agreements
allow the Company to accelerate the sale of its mortgage loan inventory
resulting in a more effective use of the warehouse facility. The Company has a
combined capacity up to $1.0 billion under these purchase and sale agreements.
Amounts sold and being held under these agreements at March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002 were $512 million and $801 million, respectively. At March 31,
2003, the amount unused and available under these agreements was $388 million.
These agreements are not committed facilities and may be terminated at the
discretion of the counterparties.
The Company makes certain representations and warranties under the purchase and
sale agreements regarding, among other things, the loans' compliance with laws
and regulations, their conformity with the ultimate investors' underwriting
standards and the accuracy of information. In the event of a breach of these
representations or warranties or in the event of an early payment default, the
Company may be required to repurchase the loans and indemnify the investor for
damages caused by that breach. The Company has implemented strict procedures to
ensure quality control and conformity to underwriting standards and minimize the
risk of being required to repurchase loans. The Company has been required to
repurchase loans it has sold from time to time; however, these repurchases have
not had a material impact on the Company.
The Company also has a $75 million term loan facility with a bank syndicate led
by RFC which the Company uses to finance its mortgage servicing rights. The term
loan facility expires on May 31, 2003. Interest is based on
-17-
a spread to the LIBOR and may be adjusted for earnings on escrow balances. At
March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, borrowings under the Company's term loan
were $63.7 million and $66.0 million, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $31.0 million at March 31, 2003, from
$24.4 million at December 31, 2002.
The Company's primary sources of cash and cash equivalents during the quarter
ended March 31, 2003, were as follows:
o $173.3 million increase in warehouse lines of credit;
o $ 7.7 million increase in drafts payable;
o $ 4.9 million increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities;
and
o $ 3.0 million decrease in accounts receivable.
The Company's primary uses of cash and cash equivalents during the quarter ended
March 31, 2003, were as follows:
o $199.9 million net increase in mortgage loans held for sale;
o $ 5.8 million increase in mortgage servicing rights;
o $ 2.5 million decrease in notes payable; and
o $ 2.3 million to purchase furniture and office and computer
equipment for new branch offices.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are
intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. The words "plan,"
"believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "objective," "projection,"
"forecast," "goal" or similar words are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties that exist in the
Company's operations and business environment that could render actual outcomes
and results materially different than predicted. The Company's forward-looking
statements are based on assumptions about many factors, including, but not
limited to, general volatility of the capital markets; changes in the real
estate market, interest rates or the general economy of the markets in which the
Company operates; economic, technological or regulatory changes affecting the
use of the Internet; and changes in government regulations that are applicable
to the Company's regulated brokerage and property management businesses. While
the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable at the time
forward-looking statements are made, it cautions that it is impossible to
predict the actual outcome of numerous factors and, therefore, readers should
not place undue reliance on such statements. Forward-
-18-
looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company
undertakes no obligation to update such statements in light of new information
or future events.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Movements in interest rates can pose a major risk to the Company in either a
rising or declining interest rate environment. The Company depends on
substantial borrowings to conduct its business. These borrowings are all done at
variable interest rate terms which will increase as short term interest rates
rise. Additionally, when interest rates rise, loans held for sale and any
applications in process with locked-in rates decrease in value. To preserve the
value of such loans or applications in process with locked-in rates, agreements
are executed for mandatory loan sales to be settled at future dates with fixed
prices. These sales take the form of forward sales of mortgage-backed
securities.
When interest rates decline, fallout may occur as a result of customers
withdrawing their applications. In those instances, the Company may be required
to purchase loans at current market prices to fulfill existing mandatory loan
sale agreements, thereby incurring losses upon sale. The Company uses an
interest rate hedging program to manage these risks. Through this program,
mortgage-backed securities are purchased and sold forward and options are
acquired on treasury futures contracts.
In the event that the Company does not deliver into the forward delivery
commitments or exercise its option contracts, the instruments can be settled on
a net basis. Net settlement entails paying or receiving cash based upon the
change in market value of the existing instrument. All forward delivery
commitments and option contracts to buy securities are to be contractually
settled within six months of the balance sheet date.
The Company's hedging program contains an element of risk because the
counterparties to its mortgage and treasury securities transactions may be
unable to meet their obligations. While the Company does not anticipate
nonperformance by any counterparty, it is exposed to potential credit losses in
the event the counterparty fails to perform. The Company's exposure to credit
risk in the event of default by a counterparty is the difference between the
contract and the current market price. The Company minimizes its credit risk
exposure by limiting the counterparties to well-capitalized banks and securities
dealers who meet established credit and capital guidelines.
Movements in interest rates also impact the value of mortgage servicing rights.
When interest rates decline, the loans underlying the mortgage servicing rights
are generally expected to prepay faster, which reduces the market value of the
mortgage servicing rights. The Company considers the expected increase in loan
origination volumes and the resulting additional origination related income as a
natural hedge against the expected change in the value of mortgage servicing
rights. Lower mortgage rates generally reduce the fair value of the mortgage
servicing rights, as increased prepayment speeds are highly correlated with
lower levels of mortgage interest rates.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2.
CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The following is a description of the Company's securities that were not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
which were sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
The Company acquired First Home Mortgage Corp. ("First Home") on June 30, 2000.
In addition to the shares paid to former First Home shareholders as initial
consideration, the Company is required to issue unregistered shares of common
stock to the former shareholders as additional consideration under the earnout
provisions of the merger agreement. On January 2, 2003, pursuant to these
earnout provisions, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,227 shares of common
stock to such shareholders as additional consideration. In addition, on February
15, 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,600 shares of common stock to
such shareholders pursuant to the earnout provisions. These securities were
exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act because they
were issued pursuant to the terms of a private transaction rather than through a
public offering.
