ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BACKGROUND

Vestin Group,  Inc., was incorporated in Delaware on June 2, 1998 under the name
Sunderland Acquisition  Corporation ("Vestin Group").  Vestin Group is a holding
company  which  conducts  all  of  its  operations   through  its  wholly  owned
subsidiaries.  Vestin Group together with its subsidiaries  shall be hereinafter
referred to as the "Company."

On August 13, 1998,  Vestin Group filed a  Registration  Statement on Form 10-SB
under the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended (the  "Exchange  Act"),
registering  its class of common stock,  $.0001 par value per share (the "Common
Stock").  On April 27, 1999,  Vestin Group acquired all the outstanding  capital
stock of Capsource,  Inc., a licensed Nevada mortgage company ("Capsource"),  in
exchange for 20,000 shares of Vestin Group's Common Stock.  Simultaneously  with
the acquisition of Capsource,  Vestin Group acquired  certain assets and assumed
certain  liabilities  of Del Mar  Mortgage,  Inc.  and Del  Mar  Holdings,  Inc.
(collectively,  the "Del Mar  Entities")  in exchange  for  4,891,270  shares of
Common Stock of Vestin Group.  The Del Mar Entities are controlled by Michael V.
Shustek, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Vestin Group.

As part of a corporate  restructuring,  Vestin Group  transferred the commercial
mortgage brokerage business of the Del Mar Entities to Capsource. On October 15,
1999,  Vestin  Group filed a  Registration  Statement  on Form SB-2  registering
1,926,270  shares of its Common Stock held by various  stockholders.  On July 6,
2000,  Capsource changed its name to Vestin Mortgage,  Inc. ("Vestin Mortgage").
Vestin Mortgage is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vestin Group and holds
a mortgage broker's license in Nevada.

In April 2000, Vestin Group acquired Vestin Capital, Inc., formerly DM Financial
Services,  Inc., a registered  broker-dealer  in 49 states  ("Vestin  Capital").
Vestin Group also acquired DM Mortgage Advisors, Inc., an Arizona based mortgage
funding  business  which has changed its name to Vestin  Mortgage  Advisors ("VM
Advisors"),  in exchange for Vestin Group's Common Stock in December 1999.  Both
Vestin  Capital  and VM  Advisors  were  wholly  owned by Michael  Shustek,  who
received  10,300 shares of Vestin Group's Common Stock for Vestin  Capital,  and
17,700 shares of Vestin Group's Common Stock for VM Advisors in connection  with
the acquisitions.

Vestin  Mortgage  serves as the  manager  of  Vestin  Fund I, LLC  (formerly  DM
Mortgage  Investors,  LLC), a Nevada limited  liability  company ("the Fund I"),
which was organized to invest in mortgage loans. As of June 30, 2001, the Fund I
had sold all of the 10 million units registered  under a registration  statement
on Form S-11.  The  Company  has also  organized  Vestin Fund II, LLC ("the Fund
II"), a second limited liability company to invest in mortgage loans. The second
company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities Exchange
Commission which was declared  effective on June 13, 2001. Fund II will issue up
to $500 million of its 50 million units. As of June 30, 2001, Fund II has raised
approximately $10.5 million from the issuance of units.

THE COMPANY

The Company is primarily engaged in the commercial  mortgage brokerage business.
The Company  arranges  loans to owners and  developers  of real  property  whose
financing  needs  are  not  being  met  by  traditional  mortgage  lenders.  The
underwriting  standards  and length of time  required  by  traditional  mortgage
lenders,  such as commercial banks,  results in certain potential  borrowers who
are unable to or  unwilling  to go through the process  required by  traditional
lenders.  As a  non-conventional  lender,  the  Company  focuses on the needs of
borrowers  unable or  unwilling  to meet the more  restrictive  requirements  of

                                       8
<PAGE>
traditional lenders.  When evaluating  prospective  borrowers,  the Company will
typically focus on the value of collateral, which reduces the paperwork and time
needed to evaluate other factors.

MANAGEMENT OF FUND I AND FUND II

Vestin  Mortgage is the  Manager of both Fund I and Fund II. As manager,  Vestin
Mortgage evaluates prospective investments, selects the mortgages in which these
Funds  will  invest  and  makes  all  investment   decisions  for  these  Funds.
Additionally, Vestin Mortgage is responsible for all administrative matters such
as  accounting,  tax and legal  requirements  for these Funds.  Vestin  Mortgage
receives an annual management fee from each Fund of up to 0.25% of the aggregate
capital  contributions  to each Fund.  The Company may, in its sole  discretion,
waive its  management  fee. For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company did
not  receive any  management  fees from either Fund I or Fund II. As of the same
date, the Company  received  approximately  100,000 units in Fund I for expenses
paid by the  Company  to  unaffiliated  third  parties  in  connection  with the
offering of units in Fund I, and 59,000 units for expenses paid to third parties
on  behalf  of Fund II.  The  Company's  ownership  in Funds I and II  represent
approximately 1% and 5% of the outstanding amount of units, respectively,  as of
June 30, 2001.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The following financial review and analysis concerns the financial condition and
results of  operations  of the Company for the quarters  ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 and for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2001 and 2000.  This  information
should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  unaudited  Consolidated
Financial  Statements  and  accompanying  notes and other  detailed  information
regarding the Company appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000

The  historical  operations of the Company for the quarters ended June 30, 2001,
and June 30, 2000 and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are
analyzed as follows:

REVENUE

The Company reported total revenues of approximately  $4.7 million for the three
month period  ended June 30, 2001,  an increase of 24% from $3.8 million for the
three month period ended June 30, 2000. The Company  derived  approximately  97%
and  95% of  its  revenue  in  the  quarters  ended  June  30,  2001  and  2000,
respectively from its mortgage brokerage  operations.  The remaining revenue was
principally  generated by interest earned from investments in mortgage loans and
bank depository accounts for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2001,  the Company  reported a 32% increase in
revenues of approximately  $8.6 million as compared to $6.5 million for the same
period of the previous year.

The Company  placed  approximately  $54.8  million and $72.8 million in mortgage
loans in the three month  periods ended June 30, 2001,  and 2000,  respectively.
The Company uses funds from individual  investors,  Fund I, Fund II, and its own
resources  to fund  loans to real  estate  developers  and  owners for raw land,
acquisition and development,  construction,  commercial,  residential and bridge
loans.

                                       9

The revenues generated by the Company's  mortgage  brokerage  operations for the
three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

<TABLE>

                           ==========                      ==========
</TABLE>

Loan  placement fees are directly  related to the size of a particular  loan and
the  creditworthiness  of the  borrower.  Although  the  overall  amount  loaned
decreased approximately 25% in second quarter of 2001, as compared to the second
quarter in 2000,  average loan  placement  fees  increased from 3.4% of the loan
amount to 4.7%. The increase in average  points charged is primarily  related to
the placement of two large loans in the amount of $10 million each upon which an
average of 6.5% loan origination fees were charged.

Loan servicing fees are recorded as revenue when such services are rendered.

Extension  fees are  recorded  as  revenue  at the  extension  grant  date for a
particular loan.

DIRECT INVESTMENT

Approximately  2% of revenues in the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 were derived from  investments in mortgage  loans. As of June 30, 2001, the
Company had  approximately  $5.2 million invested in mortgage loans. The Company
earns additional  income from interest earned on monies deposited with financial
institutions.

GEOGRAPHICAL EXPANSION

Although the Company has historically  focused its operations in certain Western
states,  the Company has commenced  expansion of its  operations  throughout the
U.S. The Company has developed a significant degree of knowledge with respect to
the real estate markets in the Western states. Such knowledge is critical to the
Company's  business as it enables the Company to process loan  applications more
quickly than many conventional  lenders.  The Company is able to rapidly process
loan  applications  in large part because the Company's  underwriting  standards
focus  heavily  on  the  value  of  the  underlying  property  rather  than  the
creditworthiness  of the borrower.  The Company's  ability to quickly assess the
underlying value of real estate when it arranges the terms of a mortgage loan is
therefore  essential  to its  strategy of  providing  fast  turnaround  for loan
applications.

Real estate markets are significantly  influenced by local conditions as well as
by national  economic  conditions.  Thus,  real estate markets vary greatly from
place to place and local  knowledge  of a real  estate  market is  essential  to
prudent lending. In order to obtain such local knowledge, the Company intends to
engage the services of local real estate brokers and real estate lawyers who are
believed to be familiar  with the markets into which the Company may expand.  It
is not  possible at this time to predict in which areas the Company  will expand
or  if  the  Company  will  be  successful  in  this  effort.  Any  difficulties
encountered by the Company in this regard could slow down its expansion plans or
could  result  in  the  Company  placing  loans  which  degrade  its  historical
performance.

SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES

Sales and marketing  expenses  primarily  consist of advertising  costs,  public
relations  expenses,  commissions  and  travel  expenses.  Sales  and  marketing
expenses  amounted to approximately  42% and 13% of the Company's total revenues
for the three  month  periods  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively.  The

                                       10
<PAGE>
increase for the three and six month  periods  ending June 30, 2001 is primarily
related to an increase in  advertising  costs  approximating  $0.8  million,  an
increase in public  relations  expenses of $0.6  million  related to the Company
engaging Joe Namath as a spokesperson  and the Company's  aggressive  efforts to
enter new markets such as Florida, Oregon, Texas, and Arizona.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and  administrative  expenses  include  payroll  and  related  expenses,
consultation fees,  professional fees, and general corporate  expenses.  General
and  administrative  expenses of the Company  amounted to $2.3 million or 50% of
the total  revenues for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of 96% from $1.2
million  for the second  quarter of 2000.  The  increase  is a result of several
factors  including an increase in wages of $0.3 million,  legal and professional
fees  of  $0.2  million,   as  well  as  a  general   increase  in  general  and
administrative  expenses related to the Company's  growth.  The Company has also
entered into  several  other  contracts  including a  consulting  agreement  for
approximately $37,000 per month for general consulting.

General and  administrative  expenses,  for the six months  ended June 30, 2001,
approximated  $4.4  million as compared  to $2.4  million for the same period in
2000.  The  increase is related to a number of factors  including an increase in
wages approximating $1.0 million, legal and professional fees approximating $0.2
million,  and consultation fees  approximating $0.3 million as well as a general
increase in general and administrative expenses related to the Company's growth.

INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES

As a result of the foregoing factors,  results from continuing operations before
provision for income taxes resulted in income of approximately  $0.3 million for
the three month  period  ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $2.1 million for the
second quarter 2000.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2001,  the Company  incurred a loss from
continuing  operations  approximating  $0.4 million as opposed to an income from
continuing operations of $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 31, 2000, the Company consummated a merger with L.L. Bradford & Company
(LLB) acquiring all of LLB's capital stock in exchange for 800,000 shares of the
Company's  common  stock.  LLB  operates as a certified  public  accounting  and
consulting  practice  in the State of Nevada.  The  Company  accounted  for this
business  combination  as a pooling of  interests.  As a result of the Company's
change in business focus in December  2000,  the Company  consummated a Purchase
Agreement on January 1, 2001 with the former  shareholders of LLB, whereby,  the
Company  repurchased the 800,000 shares of its common stock originally issued to
the former  shareholders  of LLB and  divested  itself of LLB.  The  Company has
accounted  for this  divestiture  as a spin-off in  accordance  with  Accounting
Principles Board Statement ("APB") No. 29. The repurchase was considered to be a
distribution of nonmonetary  assets to the former  shareholders of LLB,  whereby
the rescission of prior business combination was based on the historical cost of
the  nonmonetary  assets  distributed  and no gain or loss was  recognized.  The
repurchase  of the 800,000  shares is recorded as Treasury  Stock at book value.
The Consolidated  Financial  Statements for the second quarter 2000 reflect L.L.
Bradford as a  discontinued  operation.  Accordingly,  the  revenues,  expenses,
assets and liabilities,  and cash flows of L.L. Bradford have been segregated in
the  consolidated  income  statements,  and cash flows for the second quarter of
2000 as well as for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  For the second  quarter
of 2000, discontinued operations generated income of approximately $145,000. For
the six months ended June 30, 2000,  discontinued operations generated income of
approximately $282,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity  is  a  measure  of  an  entity's   ability  to  meet  potential  cash
requirements,  including  ongoing  commitments to fund lending  activities.  The
Company has  historically met its capital  requirements  through cash flows from
operations and its ability to access individual  investors who acquire interests
in mortgage loans.

                                       11
<PAGE>
For the six  months  ended  June 30,  2001,  the cash  flows  used by  operating
activities of the Company approximated $.9 million or 10% of the Company's total
revenue,  compared to cash  provided by operating  activities of $1.9 million or
30% during the six month  period  ended June 30,  2000.  Cash used in  investing
activities approximated $1.3 million or 15% of the Company's revenues during the
six  months  ended  June  30,  2001,  compared  to cash  provided  by  investing
activities  approximating  $0.3 million or 5% of total revenues  during the same
period of the prior year.  The decrease in cash during the six months ended June
30, 2001 is primarily due to the  increased  advertising  efforts  approximating
$2.5 million in order to penetrate new markets as well as engaging Joe Namath as
a spokesperson which resulted in a cash outlay of $250,000.

The  Company  has  historically  relied  upon the cash flow from  operations  to
provide for its capital requirements. During the six months ended June 30, 2001,
the Company incurred an operating loss of $0.3 million and a negative  operating
cash flow of approximately $0.9 million.  These results were largely a result of
a  significant  increase in  marketing,  sales,  and general and  administrative
expenses.  Management believes that the results of the first six month period is
not  indicative  of the  results  for the  remainder  of the year.  The  Company
believes that cash generated from operations,  together with cash and cash flows
from investments in mortgage loans on real estate on hand at June 30, 2001, will
be  sufficient  to provide for its  capital  requirements  to sustain  currently
expected loan volumes for at least the next 12 months.

However,  the Company will require  additional  financing in order to expand its
business operations. The Company maintains a $4,000,000 revolving line of credit
with a financial  institution.  There was no balance outstanding on this line of
credit  as of  June  30,  2001.  The  line  of  credit  is  payable  in  monthly
installments of interest only at the prime lending rate plus 1.0% (6.75% at June
30, 2001) and expires on June 15, 2002.  The line of credit is guaranteed by the
Company's  majority  stockholder  and is  secured  by the  deeds of trust on the
property being advanced against. The line of credit agreement limits payments of
dividends on the Company's  stock and transfers  between related parties without
prior  written  consent  from the  financial  institution.  The  line of  credit
contains certain  covenants,  which the Company has complied with as of June 30,
2001.

In addition,  the Company, on June 26, 2001, secured a $2,000,000 line of credit
with another  financial  institution of which the entire balance was outstanding
as of June 30, 2001. The line of credit is payable in  installments  of interest
only at the prime lending rate plus 2% and expires on June 26, 2002. The line of
credit is guaranteed by the Company's majority stockholder.

FUNDING SOURCES

In order to maintain  and expand its  business,  the Company must have access to
funding  sources that are prepared to invest in mortgage loans which the Company
brokers.   Historically,  the  Company  has  relied  primarily  upon  individual
investors for this purpose. Of the approximately $54.8 million of mortgage loans
placed by the  Company in the three  month  period  ended June 30,  2001,  $37.8
million  was  funded  by Fund I, $8.3  million  was  funded by Fund II,  and the
remainder  was  funded  by  individual  investors.  The  Company  has  generally
experienced  a high rate of investors  choosing to reinvest  through the Company
after their  mortgage loans mature.  For the second quarter 2001,  approximately
90% of the individuals who invested  through the Company have chosen to reinvest
in the loans  brokered by the  Company.  This has  provided  the Company  with a
reasonably reliable source of funding for mortgage loans.  However, no assurance
can be given  that the  Company  will  enjoy the same  reinvestment  rate in the
future.

The  Company  is  currently  acting as  manager  of Fund I and Fund II,  limited
liability  companies organized to invest in mortgage loans. As of June 30, 2001,
Fund I has  raised  the  entire  $100,000,000  as set forth in its  registration
statement   through  a  public  offering  of  its  units.  Fund  II  has  raised
approximately $10.5 million through a public offering of its units. Fund II will

                                       12
<PAGE>
offer of up to $500,000,000  of its units to the public.  The success of raising
funds by both Fund I and Fund II will  provide an  additional  source of funding
for mortgage loans placed by the Company.

The  Company's  ability to attract  investors  to acquire  interests in mortgage
loans,  either  directly or through the limited  liability  companies  discussed
above, depends upon a number of factors,  some of which are beyond the Company's
control. The key factors in this regard include general economic conditions, the
condition of real estate markets,  the  availability  of alternative  investment
opportunities,  the  Company's  track record and the Company's  reputation.  The
Company  believes that its ability to attract  investors for mortgage  loans has
been enhanced by the high  historical  yields  generated by such mortgage loans.
These  yields  may prove  more  attractive  in the near  term if equity  markets
continue to decline.

Notwithstanding  the high historical yields generated by its mortgage loans, the
Company  believes  its  ability  to attract  investors  may be  impaired  by the
Company's small size and limited operating  history.  In addition,  the mortgage
loan investments offered by the Company are not federally insured as are certain
bank deposits and the mortgage loan interests are generally illiquid as compared
to government or corporate bonds.  Thus, the Company's  ability to generate high
yields is critical to offsetting  some of the  disadvantages  of  investments in
mortgage loans. The Company's  ability to attract  investors would suffer if the
performance  of  Company-brokered  mortgage  loans  declines  or if  alternative
investment  vehicles  offering  comparable rates and greater safety or liquidity
become available.

In order to address  these  issues,  the Company has pursued a strategy  of: (i)
using great care in the  selection  of mortgage  loans in order to maintain  its
current track record, and (ii) developing additional funding sources such as the
Company-managed limited liability companies discussed above. In this manner, the
Company is seeking to  maintain  its access to funding  from  current  investors
while broadening its funding sources, thereby enabling it to expand the scope of
its mortgage  brokerage  operations.  No assurance can be given that the Company
will be successful in this effort. If its access to funding sources deteriorates
for  any  reason,  then  the  scope  of the  Company's  operations  may  decline
proportionately.

The Company is also exploring additional sources of funding including new and/or
expanded credit  facilities.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain any additional financing.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPANY'S OPERATING RESULTS

This quarterly  report and other written  reports and oral  statements made from
time to time by the Company may contain forward looking statements. Such forward
looking  statements  may be  identified  by the use of such words as  "expects,"
"plans," "estimates,"  "forecasts,"  "projects,"  "anticipates,"  "believes" and
words of similar meaning.  Forward looking statements are likely to address such
matters as the Company's  business strategy,  future operating  results,  future
sources of funding for mortgage loans brokered by the Company,  future  economic
conditions and pending litigation involving the Company. As a result,  investors
should carefully consider any forward looking statements in light of the various
factors which could affect future  results.  Some of these factors are discussed
below.

The Company's  business is subject to numerous  factors  affecting its operating
results.  In addition to the factors  discussed above,  the Company's  operating
results may be affected by:

LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN CERTAIN REAL ESTATE MARKETS.

Currently, the Company brokers mortgage loans primarily in areas in which Vestin
Mortgage has  substantial  experience  such as Arizona,  California  and Nevada.
Depending on the market and on the Company's performance, it plans to expand the
Company's operations throughout the United States.  However, Vestin Mortgage has
limited experience  outside of certain western states.  Real estate markets vary

                                       13
<PAGE>
greatly from location to location.  Vestin Mortgage's limited experience in most
U.S.  real  estate  markets may impact its  ability to make  prudent  investment
decisions  and may delay the loan  approval  process.  This  delay  could have a
material  impact on the Company's  competitive  advantage of providing fast loan
approvals. Accordingly, Vestin Mortgage plans to utilize independent real estate
advisors   located  in  markets  where  Vestin  Mortgage  lacks  experience  for
consultation  prior to making  investment  decisions.  No assurance can be given
such advisors will provide effective assistance to the Company.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.

The Company's  success depends upon the continued  contributions  of certain key
personnel,  including  Michael V. Shustek,  Stephen J. Byrne and Lance Bradford,
each of whom would be difficult to replace  because of his extensive  experience
in his field,  extensive  market  contacts and  familiarity  with the  Company's
activities.  If any of  these  key  employees  were  to  cease  employment,  the
Company's  operating  results could suffer.  The Company's  future  success also
depends in large part upon its  ability  to hire and  retain  additional  highly
skilled managerial,  operational and marketing personnel.  Should the Company be
unable to attract and retain skilled  personnel,  the Company's  performance may
suffer.

RISKS OF UNDERWRITING STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES.

-    The Company's  underwriting  standards and procedures are more lenient than
     conventional  lenders in that the Company will invest in loans to borrowers
     who will not be  required  to meet the  credit  standards  of  conventional
     mortgage lenders.

-    The  Company  approves  mortgage  loans more  quickly  than other  mortgage
     lenders. Due to the nature of loan approvals,  there may be a risk that the
     credit  inquiry  the Company  performs  may not reveal all  material  facts
     pertaining to the borrower and the security.

The Company's results of operations will vary with changes in interest rates and
with the performance of the relevant real estate markets.

-    If the economy is healthy,  the  Company  expects  that more people will be
     borrowing money to acquire, develop or renovate real property.  However, if
     the economy  grows too fast,  interest  rates may increase too much and the
     cost of borrowing may become too expensive. This could result in a slowdown
     in real estate  lending which may mean the Company will have fewer loans to
     acquire, thus reducing its revenues and the distributions to stockholders.

-    One of the results of interest rate fluctuations is that borrowers may seek
     to extend their  low-interest-rate  mortgage  loans after  market  interest
     rates have increased.  Generally,  the Company's loan documents  permit the
     Company to raise the interest  rate it charges on extended  loans  anywhere
     from  between  3/4% to 3% from  the  then-current  rate on the  loan.  This
     creates three risks for the Company:

     (i)  There can be no assurance  that this  permitted  rate increase will be
          adequate  if   interest   rates  have   increased   beyond  the  range
          contemplated by the Company's loan documents.

     (ii) If  interest  rates  rise,  borrowers  under  loans  with  monthly  or
          quarterly principal payments may be compelled to extend their loans to
          decrease the  principal  paid with each  payment  because the interest
          component has increased.  If this happens, there is a higher risk that
          the borrower may default on the extended loan, and the increase in the
          interest  rate on the loan may not be  adequate  compensation  for the
          increased risk.  Distributions on mortgage loans placed by the Company
          may decline if lenders are unable to reinvest at higher rates or if an
          increasing number of borrowers default on their loans.

    (iii) If, at a time of relatively  low interest  rates,  a borrower  prepays
          obligations  that have a higher  interest rate from an earlier period,
          investors  will likely not be able to  reinvest  the funds in mortgage
          loans  earning  that  higher  rate of  interest.  In the  absence of a
          prepayment  fee, the investors  will receive  neither the  anticipated
          revenue  stream at the higher  rate nor  compensation  for their loss.
          This in turn could harm the Company's  reputation and may make it more
          difficult  for the  Company  to attract  investors  willing to acquire
          interests in mortgage loans.

COMPETITION FOR FUNDS

The ability of the Company to access funds for mortgage  loans  depends upon the
perceived attractiveness of yields on loans placed by the Company, the safety of
the underlying investment, the Company's reputation, general economic conditions
and  real  estate  market  conditions.  The  Company's  principal  advantage  in
attracting  investors is the high historical  yields generated by loans brokered
by the  Company.  The  Company  is at a  disadvantage  compared  to  alternative
investment  vehicles to the extent that an  investment  in mortgage  loans lacks
liquidity  and is  not  guaranteed  or  insured  by a  governmental  agency.  In
addition,  the fact that the  Company is smaller  than many of the full  service
financial firms offering alternative  investment vehicles and has a more limited
operating history may be disadvantages in seeking to attract investors.

COMPETITION FOR BORROWERS

The Company  considers  its  competitors  for  borrowers to be the  providers of
non-conventional   mortgage  loans,  that  is,  lenders  who  offer  short-term,
equity-based loans on an expedited basis for slightly higher fees and rates than
those charged by  conventional  lenders.  To a lesser  extent,  the Company also
competes with conventional mortgage lenders and mortgage loan investors, such as
commercial  banks,  thrifts,  conduit  lenders,  insurance  companies,  mortgage
brokers,  pension funds and other financial institutions that offer conventional
mortgage loans.  Many of the companies  against which the Company  competes have
substantially greater financial, technical and other resources than the Company.
Competition  in the  Company's  market  niche  depends upon a number of factors,
including price and interest rates of the loan, speed of loan  processing,  cost
of capital, reliability, quality of service and support services.
