                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1999
            (dollars in thousands, except share data and where noted)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Wilshire Real
Estate Investment Trust Inc. and Subsidiaries ("WREIT" or the "Company") are
unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with the requirements of
Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), particularly Rule 10-01 thereof, which governs the
presentation of interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. The accompanying interim
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K. A summary of the Company's
significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 4 to the consolidated
financial statements in the 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments are comprised of normal
recurring accruals necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial
statements. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1999.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Certain items in the consolidated statement of financial condition as of
December 31, 1998 were reclassified to conform to the March 31, 1999
presentation.

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND RELATIONSHIPS

     WREIT was incorporated in the State of Maryland on October 24, 1997. The
Company was initially formed with a capital investment of $2. Prior to April 6,
1998, the Company had substantially no operating activity and therefore,
comparative 1998 consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are not
presented. On April 6, 1998, the Company was capitalized with the sale of
11,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, at a price of
$16.00 per share (the "Offering"). Total net proceeds of the Offering after
underwriting and offering expenses were $166,979.

     The Company is a party to a management agreement with Wilshire Realty
Services Corporation ("WRSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wilshire Financial
Services Group Inc. ("WFSG"), under which WRSC advises the Company on various
facets of its business and manages its day-to-day operations, subject to the
supervision of the Company's Board of Directors. WFSG currently owns 990,000
shares, or 8.6%, of the Company's outstanding common stock and has options to
purchase an additional 1,135,000 shares (25% of which vest on April 6 of each
year over the next four years) at an exercise price of $16.00 per share. For its
services, WRSC receives a base management fee of 1% per annum of the first $1.0
billion of average invested assets, as defined in the agreement, 0.75% of the
next $500 million of average invested assets and 0.50% of average invested
assets above $1.5 billion, payable quarterly. In addition, WRSC receives
incentive compensation in an amount generally equal to 25% of the dollar amount
by which funds from operations ("FFO"), as adjusted, exceeds an amount equal to
the product of: (i) $16.00; and, (ii) the ten-year Treasury rate plus 5% per
annum, multiplied by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during such period. Finally, WRSC is entitled to receive

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
reimbursements of all due diligence costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company incurred approximately $920 of
management fees. No incentive fees were paid.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, WFSG submitted a prepackaged plan
of reorganization as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in the Federal Court
of Wilmington, Delaware. On April 12, 1999, the WFSG restructuring plan was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. It is currently anticipated by management of
WFSG that this reorganization plan will become effective and WFSG will emerge
from bankruptcy in May 1999. However, there can be no assurance that WFSG will
ultimately emerge from bankruptcy or that the restructuring plan will have the
desired economic effect.

     Wilshire Credit Corporation ("WCC"), an affiliate of WFSG, provides loan
and real property servicing to the Company.  The WFSG plan of reorganization
discussed above contemplates the transfer of the servicing operations conducted
by WCC to a newly formed company controlled by WFSG.  Management of the Company
believes that the transfer of servicing operations will have no negative impact
on the Company.

     To date, these events have not had a significant effect on WRSC's ability
to act as manager of the Company. In the event the restructuring plan is not
confirmed, the Company will review its options, which include potentially
becoming internally managed.

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

     To qualify as a REIT, the Company must first make an affirmative election
to be taxed as a REIT.  As the election is not made until the time the Company
files its first federal income tax return, the Company has not yet made the
election to be taxed as a REIT.  Recent economic conditions, and other factors,
have caused the Company's management to carefully evaluate the Company's current
tax status.  As a result of the Company's significant net loss during the year
ended December 31, 1998, the Company and its shareholders may derive a greater
benefit by deferring a REIT election until a subsequent taxable year.  A
decision by the Company to not make a REIT election requires a two-thirds vote
by its stockholders.

     If the Company does not make a REIT election, it will be subject to
corporate taxation. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company would
have a current tax provision of approximately $200 due to the alternative
minimum tax.

     On March 31, 1999, the Company had, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, a
net operating loss carryforward in excess of $70 million, which expires in 2018.

NOTE 4 - SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company recovered its carrying
value in a loan of approximately $38.6 million through a loan payoff. The loan
was secured by certain mortgage-backed securities and classified in loans, net
in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

     On April 29, 1999, the Company sold a loan held for sale secured by
commercial properties in the United Kingdom ("UK") with a carrying value of
approximately $47.9 million as of March 31, 1999. As a result of this sale, the
Company reversed $3.9 million of a valuation allowance previously provided for
in the provision for losses in the accompanying interim consolidated statement
of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This valuation allowance had
been established in 1998 based upon management's estimate at that time of the
ultimate recoverability of the asset.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

  During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement
to provide WFSG with debtor-in-possession financing of up to $10.0 million (the
"DIP Facility") as part of a 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
compromise and settlement of a $17.0 million receivable due from WFSG. The DIP
facility bears interest at 12% and is secured by the stock of First Bank of
Beverly Hills, FSB, a second tier subsidiary of WFSG. The Company funded $5.0
million of the DIP Facility on March 3, 1999. Under the agreement negotiated by
the Company's Board of Directors with WFSG and its creditors, the $17.0 million
receivable will convert into an unsecured note bearing interest at 6% if the
Company funds the full $10.0 million DIP Facility. To the extent the Company
does not fund the DIP Facility in an amount of $10.0 million, a proportionate
amount of the Company's $17.0 million claim is to be treated pari passu with the
claims of WFSG noteholders and converted into equity of WFSG. During the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, the Company accrued interest on the note receivable at its
current contractual interest rate of 13%.

     On April 27, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors voted to not provide
the additional $5.0 million funding of the DIP Facility. Accordingly, 50% or
approximately $8.5 million of the Company's claim is to be treated pari passu
with WFSG noteholders and converted to newly issued common stock of WFSG upon
effectiveness of the restructuring plan. The Company has considered the
estimated book value of the WFSG common stock to be received in exchange for the
50% portion of the receivable and recognized a net write-down of approximately
$2.7 million, included in the provision for losses in the consolidated statement
of operations, in determining its net income for the quarter ended March 31,
1999.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999 the Company recorded a write-down
of approximately $0.8 million to the carrying value of its holdings of WFSG 13%
Notes due 2004. The write-down is included in market valuation adjustments in
the interim consolidated statement of operations.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company remitted $15 million
to WCC. This payment relieved the Company of its payable to WCC (approximately
$11.8 million) and its guarantee of WCC's indebtedness. The difference between
the $15 million payment and the payable balance of approximately $3.2 million
represents an undiscounted prepayment of future servicing fees that are
anticipated to be charged by WCC to the Company. The amortized balance of the
prepaid servicing fee is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of
financial condition as of March 31, 1999.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company recaptured
approximately $100 of property servicing fees previously paid to WCC. The
recapture, resulting from retroactive restatement of the property servicing
fees, was made to better reflect market rates for property servicing.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES & OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

     The Asset and Liability Committee is authorized to utilize a wide variety
of off-balance sheet financial techniques to assist the Company in the
management of interest rate risk. In hedging the interest rate and/or exchange
rate exposure of a foreign currency denominated asset or liability, the Company
may enter into hedge transactions to counter movements in the different
currencies, as well as interest rates in those currencies. These hedges may be
in the form of currency and interest rate swaps, options, and forwards, or
combinations thereof.

     At March 31, 1999, the Company was a party to a swap contract in connection
with its investment in a commercial mortgage loan secured by real property in
the UK. The swap contract, which covers the approximate five-year term of the
asset and related financing, is intended to hedge the interest rate basis and
currency exposure between UK LIBOR (the lending rate) and US LIBOR (the
borrowing rate) payments, as well as the principal (notional) amount of the loan
which, as of March 31, 1999, was $49.7 million. As discussed in Note 4, this
loan was sold on April 29, 1999 and, in connection therewith, this swap
agreement was terminated.

     The Company is also a party to a five year swap in connection with its
investment in real property in the UK. The notional amount is GBP 11,224,000 and
has the financial impact of converting floating rate financing to a fixed rate
of interest.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     The Company is involved in various legal proceedings occurring in the
ordinary course of business which management believes will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Company.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and Notes thereto.


GENERAL

     Wilshire Real Estate Investment Trust Inc. and Subsidiaries ("WREIT") is a
Maryland corporation that was formed in October 1997 and commenced operations in
April 1998 following the completion of our initial public offering.

     In response to adverse market conditions in the second half of 1998 and the
resulting effect on our operations, we focused our efforts on stabilizing our
existing asset base and greatly reduced acquisition activities during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. Based on our results of operations for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 and the current status of the Wilshire Financial Services
Group Inc. ("WFSG") restructuring plan (described below), our management
believes that general market conditions have stabilized and we can return our
operational focus to our primary business plan.

     As we resume acquisition activities, we anticipate lessening the level of
investment in commercial operating properties and increasing investments in
loans. We believe that investments in loans provides higher yields and allows us
to more efficiently leverage our existing capital, thereby providing us a higher
return on equity. We believe there may be attractive opportunities for
additional investments in Europe, particularly in France. In addition to the
direct acquisition of loans and other investments, we may seek to invest in
other companies that invest in real estate related assets, especially where the
market capitalizations of such companies do not reflect the inherent values of
the underlying assets or franchises. Nonetheless, we make investment decisions
on an opportunistic basis and will evaluate investment opportunities as they
arise.

     The following discussion of our results of operations, changes in financial
condition and liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with
the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item
1 herein.

RESTRUCTURING OF WFSG

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, WFSG, the parent of our manager,
Wilshire Realty Services Corporation ("WRSC"), submitted a prepackaged plan of
reorganization as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in the Federal Court of
Wilmington, Delaware. On April 12, 1999, the WFSG restructuring plan was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. It is currently anticipated by management of
WFSG that this reorganization plan will become effective and WFSG will emerge
from Bankruptcy in May 1999. However, there can be no assurance that the WFSG
restructuring plan will ultimately be effected or that the restructuring will
achieve the desired economic effect. In the opinion of our management,
completion of the WFSG restructuring plan is a major step in our efforts to
return focus to our primary business plan and move beyond the turmoil
encountered in the second half of 1998. In addition to resolving outstanding
claims, completion of the WFSG restructuring plan will reduce the uncertainty
related to the ability of WRSC to continue as our manager.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, we entered into an agreement to
provide WFSG with debtor-in-possession financing of up to $10.0 million (the
"DIP Facility") as part of a compromise and settlement of a $17.0 million
receivable due from WFSG. The DIP Facility bears interest at 12% and is secured
by the stock of First Bank of Beverly Hills, FSB, a second tier subsidiary of
WFSG. We funded $5.0 million of the DIP Facility on March 3, 1999. Under the
agreement negotiated by our Board of Directors with WFSG and its creditors, the
$17.0 million receivable will convert into an unsecured note bearing interest at
6% if we fund the full $10.0 million DIP Facility. To the extent we do not fund
the DIP 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
Facility in an amount of $10.0 million, a proportionate amount of our $17.0
million claim is to be treated pari passu with claims of WFSG noteholders and
converted into equity.

     On April 27, 1999, our Board of Directors voted to not provide the
additional DIP Facility to WFSG beyond the $5.0 million funded during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. As a result of the Board of Directors' decision to
fund only half of the DIP Facility, a proportionate amount of our claim of
approximately $17.0 million is to be treated pari passu with the claims of WFSG
noteholders on a pro rata basis and converted to equity. Accordingly, 50% or
approximately $8.5 million of our claim will be converted to newly issued common
stock of WFSG and valued based on the estimated book value of WFSG common stock
following the WFSG restructuring plan. The remaining portion of the existing
claim will be converted into 6% notes. We have considered the estimated book
value of the WFSG common stock to be received in exchange for the 50% portion of
the receivable and recognized a net write down of approximately $2.7 million,
included in the provision for losses in the consolidated statement of
operations, in determining net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The
note receivable is classified in due from affiliate in the consolidated
statements of financial condition.

     In addition to the above mentioned $2.7 million provision for losses
related to the $17.0 million note receivable from WFSG, we recognized $0.8
million of market valuation adjustments related to our holdings of WFSG 13%
Notes due 2004. Excluding these WFSG restructuring related losses, our net
income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 would have been $5.3 million.

INCOME TAX STATUS

     To qualify as a REIT, we must first make an affirmative election to be
taxed as a REIT at the time we file our first federal income tax return later
this year. During 1998, we incurred substantial losses resulting from volatile
conditions in the global financial marketplace, as explained in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K. As a result, we are evaluating whether we and our
shareholders will derive greater benefit from not electing REIT status at this
time. A decision to not make a REIT election requires approval by two-thirds of
our stockholders.

     If we do not elect to be taxed as a REIT, we would be subject to corporate
taxation. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, we would have a current tax
provision of approximately $0.2 million as a result of the alternative minimum
tax.

     On March 31, 1999, the Company had, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, a
net operating loss carryforward in excess of $70 million, which expires in 2018.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

     NET INCOME. Our net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $1.8
million, or $0.15 per share. The net income is primarily attributable to net
interest income after provision for losses of $4.5 million, partially offset by
a loss on real estate operations of $0.1 million, market valuation adjustments
of $1.2 million (of which $0.8 million is attributable to our holdings of WFSG
13% Notes due 2004 and $0.4 million is attributable to our portfolio of
mortgage-backed securities) and operating expenses and management fees of $1.5
million.

     (1)  Net interest spread represents the difference between the average rate

          liabilities.
     (2)  Net interest margin represents net interest income divided by average
          interest-earning assets.
     (3)  As discussed in Note 4 to the interim consolidated financial
          statements, in April 1999 we sold a loan with a carrying value of
          approximately $47.9 million at March 31, 1999. The net interest margin
          attributable to this loan, net of related swaps, was approximately
          5.4% during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
     (4)  Other securities available for sale represents our investment in WFSG
          13% Notes due 2004 which, upon WFSG emerging from bankruptcy, will be
          converted to common stock of WFSG. Accordingly, we have not accrued
          interest income on these securities during the quarter ended March 31,
          1999.

     PROVISION FOR LOSSES. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, we reversed
a provision for losses of $3.9 million taken in prior periods for a loan held
for sale. As discussed in Note 4 to the interim consolidated financial
statements, this loan was sold on April 29, 1999. This provision reversal was
partially offset by a provision for losses on loans of $0.1 million. In
addition, as discussed in Note 5 to the interim consolidated financial
statements, during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 we recognized a net write-
down of $2.7 million in the carrying value of a $17.0 million note receivable
from WFSG to reflect the estimated value of the common stock of WFSG to be
received in exchange for a portion of the note. The write-down is included in
provision for losses in the consolidated statement of operation for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999.

     REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS. Such operations represent activity from our
investment in various office buildings, retail stores, and other commercial
property located in Oregon, California and the United Kingdom. During the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, we realized a loss of approximately $0.1 million
on these properties. This loss was attributable to provision for losses on real
estate of $0.3 million, interest expense of $1.3 million, depreciation expense
of $0.4 million, and operating expense of $0.1

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
million which, in the aggregate, exceeded gross rental and other revenues of
$2.0 million. Excluding $0.7 million of non-cash charges to real estate
operations, including depreciation and loss provision, we had positive cash flow
from such operations of approximately $0.6 million.

     OTHER LOSS. Our other loss was approximately $1.2 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, resulting primarily from $1.2 million of market valuation
adjustments. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999 we recorded $0.8 million of
market valuation adjustments related to our holdings of WFSG 13% Notes due 2004,
which are included in other securities in the consolidated statements of
financial condition, and $0.4 related to our portfolio of mortgage-backed
securities available for sale. These market valuation adjustments were deemed by
management to be other than temporary in nature. The devaluation, and subsequent
write-down, of these assets results from the residual effect of market turmoil
experienced during the second half of 1998. Although the market for
mortgage-backed securities, in particular subordinate classes of mortgage-backed
securities, has not fully recovered from the events of 1998, management believes
the markets have stabilized during the first quarter of 1999 as reflected in the
substantial decline in market valuation adjustments related to mortgage-backed
securities from $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 to $0.4
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     OPERATING EXPENSES. Management fees of $0.9 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 were comprised solely of the 1% (per annum) base management fee
paid to WRSC for the period, as provided pursuant to our management agreement
with WRSC. WRSC earned no incentive fee for this period. Other expenses were
comprised of professional services, insurance premiums and other sundry
expenses. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, we recaptured loan service
fees of approximately $0.1 million. The recapture of service fees resulted from
a review of, and retroactive reduction in, certain property servicing fees
charged to us.


CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

     GENERAL. Total assets decreased from approximately $381.1 million at
December 31, 1998 to approximately $341.8 million at March 31, 1999. The
decrease in total assets is primarily attributable to a reduction of $38.5
million in loans, net that resulted from the payoff of a loan secured by
mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value of $38.6 million at December
31, 1998. Total liabilities decreased from approximately $308.7 million at
December 31, 1998 to approximately $263.4 million at March 31, 1999 primarily as
a result of a reduction in short-term borrowings related to the loan payoff
noted above, and an $11.7 million decrease in due to affiliates. Stockholders'
equity increased approximately $5.9 million due primarily to a reduction of $4.3
million in unrealized loss on available for sale securities, and net income of
$1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE. The balance of securities available for sale
was substantially unchanged from December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999. This
resulted from a decrease in carrying value of $4.0 million due to cash receipts,
offset by a net decrease in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities
of approximately $4.3 million from December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999 and to a
lesser extent, the recognition of other than temporary impairment of
approximately $1.2 million, of which approximately $0.8 million is attributable
to our holdings of WFSG 13% Notes due 2004 and $0.4 million is attributable to
our portfolio of mortgage-backed securities.

     We mark our securities portfolio to fair value at the end of each month
based upon broker/dealer marks, subject to an internal review process. For those
securities that do not have an available market quotation, we request market
values and underlying assumptions from the various broker/dealers that
underwrote the securities, are currently financing the securities, or have had
prior experience with the type of securities. Because many of our subordinate
securities are not readily marketable, as trading activity may be infrequent,
the market value is typically available from only a small group of
broker/dealers, and in most cases, only one broker/dealer. As of each reporting
period, we evaluate whether and to what extent any unrealized loss is to be
recognized as other than temporary.

         valuation adjustments discussed in "Results of Operations".


     LOAN PORTFOLIO. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, our loan portfolio
of non-discounted loans (including loans and loans held for sale) decreased by
approximately $34.5 million due primarily to the payoff of a loan, which was
secured by certain mortgage-backed securities, with a carrying value of
approximately $38.6 million at the time of payoff, and by a provision for losses
on loans of $0.1 million. These decreases in the loan portfolio balance were
partially offset by the reversal of a provision for losses on loans held for
sale of $3.9 million, as discussed previously. There were no other sales and no
purchases of loan assets during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     Subsequent to March 31, 1999, we sold a loan secured by a second lien on
five luxury hotels in the UK. As of March 31, 1999, this loan comprised the
entire balance of loans held for sale in the consolidated statements of
financial condition.

     As we begin to return our focus to execution of our business plan, it is
likely that our investment activities will focus more on the purchase of loan
assets, and our investments in commercial operating properties will be reduced.
We believe that certain loan assets provide higher yield returns, especially
when coupled with our servicer's expertise in servicing international loans and
domestic non-conforming and sub-performing loan assets. We remain optimistic
about investment opportunities in Europe and in particular, France.

     The following table sets forth certain information relating to the payment
status of loans in the Company's loan portfolio at March 31, 1999:

     We maintain an allowance for loan losses on non-discounted loans at a level
that our management considers adequate to provide for probable losses based upon
an evaluation of known and inherent risks.

     DISCOUNTED LOAN PORTFOLIO.  The balance of discounted loans is
substantially unchanged from December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999.  During the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, we did not purchase or sell any discounted loan
assets.  As noted above, we currently plan to increase our concentration of
investment into loan related assets, including discounted loans when
appropriate, and 

                                       15

decrease our level of investment in commercial operating properties.
Nonetheless, we make investment decisions on an opportunistic basis and will
evaluate investment opportunities as they arise.

     The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses on discounted loans at a
level that management considers adequate to provide for probable losses on
discounted loans based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks. No
additional allowance for loan losses for discounted loans was provided for
during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE.  Investments in real estate decreased
approximately $5.4 million from December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999 due
primarily to the sale of one operating property for proceeds of approximately
$4.1 million.  In addition, we recognized approximately $0.4 million of
depreciation expense related to operating properties and recorded a $0.3 million
provision for real estate losses during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS. Short-term borrowings decreased by approximately
$26.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 due primarily to the
repayment of borrowings related to a loan which paid off. The balance of
outstanding borrowings related to this loan at the time of payoff was
approximately $20.0 million. The remaining change is primarily attributable to
principal payments made from receipts from mortgage-backed securities.

     OTHER BORROWINGS. Other borrowings decreased approximately $4.2 million
during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 due primarily to the repayment of
borrowings related to an operating property which was sold during the reporting
period.

     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. Stockholders' equity increased by approximately $5.9
million during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 as the result of a $4.3 million
decrease in unrealized holding losses on available for sale securities resulting
from an increase in the fair value of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio
in relation to amortized cost, and net income of $1.8 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

     Most industry analysts consider funds from operations ("FFO") an
appropriate supplementary measure of operating performance of a REIT. In
general, FFO adjusts net income for non-cash charges such as depreciation, and
certain amortization expenses and most non-recurring gains and losses. However,
FFO does not represent cash provided by operating activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered
an alternative to net income as an indication of the results of our performance
or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

     We compute FFO in accordance with the definition recommended by National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). For the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, our FFO was $3.3 million or $0.29 per weighted average common
share. The following table provides the calculation of the Company's FFO:

   (1) Management understands that NAREIT's intent in the creation of FFO was to
       produce a measure of operating performance that is recurring in nature.
       Accordingly, NAREIT believes that items classified by GAAP as
       extraordinary or unusual, along with significant non-recurring events
       that materially distort the comparative measurement of company
       performance over time, are not meant to be reductions or increases in
       FFO, and should be disregarded in its calculation.  Accordingly, the
       market valuation adjustments have been excluded from the net loss in
       arriving at FFO.

   (2) NAREIT's definition of FFO does not adjust net income by provisions for
       loan losses.  However, we provided $2.7 million of loan loss during the
       quarter ended March 31, 1999 on our note receivable from WFSG, which we
       believe is non-recurring in nature.  Including this additional adjustment
       for WFSG related loan loss provisions, FFO would have been $6.0 million
       for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Liquidity is a measurement of the Company's ability to meet potential cash
requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund
investments, engage in loan acquisition and lending activities, meet collateral
calls and for other general business purposes. The primary sources of funds for
liquidity during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 consisted of net cash provided
by investing activities, including the cash repayments related to our mortgage-
backed securities portfolio and a loan receivable which paid off during the
quarter.

     The adverse market conditions, which negatively impacted us during the
third and fourth quarters of 1998, began to stabilize during the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. As of March 31, 1999, we had outstanding collateral calls with
one of our lenders, net of cash retained, of approximately $2.6 million which is
a substantial decrease from the balance outstanding as of December 31, 1998 of
$4.4 million.

     Fluctuations in interest rates will continue to impact our net interest
income to the extent our fixed rate assets are funded by variable rate debt or
our variable rate assets reprice on a different schedule or in relation to a
different index than its floating rate debt which in turn could impact potential
returns to shareholders. The flexibility in our leverage is dependent upon,
among other things, changes in interest rates, changes in market spreads, or
decreases in credit quality of underlying assets. In such circumstances, we
would be required to provide additional collateral in connection with our short-
term, floating-rate borrowing facilities. For additional information with
respect to the Company's monthly mark-to-market of its securities available for
sale portfolio, see "Changes in Financial Condition - Securities Available for
Sale."

<PAGE>
 
     At March 31, 1999, we had total consolidated secured indebtedness of $255.6
million, as well as $3.2 million of other liabilities.  This consolidated
indebtedness consisted of (i) $159.9 million of repurchase agreements, (ii)
lines of credit aggregating $39.4 million which are secured by loans and
securities and (iii) $56.3 million outstanding of other borrowings which mature
between 1999 and 2008 which are secured by real estate.  The monthly interest
expense on the Company's total consolidated indebtedness was $1.7 million, $1.6
million and $1.7 million for the months of January, February and March 1999,
respectively.

     Mortgage-backed securities which are subject to repurchase agreements, as
well as loans and real estate which secure other indebtedness, periodically are
revalued by the lender, and a decline in such value may result in the lender
requiring us to provide additional collateral to secure the indebtedness.

     In addition to payment and, in the case of our secured indebtedness,
collateralization requirements, we are subject to various other covenants in our
indebtedness, including the maintenance of specified amounts of equity. At March
31, 1999, we were in compliance with all obligations in our indebtedness and
equity, as defined in the applicable agreements, except for one such facility,
which, subsequent to March 31, 1999, has been restructured into a facility
secured by certain real properties. There can be no assurance that operating
losses, if any, will not result in our violation of financial covenants in the
future. In the event of a default in such covenants, the lender generally would
be able to accelerate repayment of the subject indebtedness and pursue other
available remedies, which could result in defaults on other indebtedness, unless
the applicable lender or lenders allowed us to remain in violation of the
agreements. Were a default to be declared, we would not be able to continue to
operate without the consent of our lenders. We are currently considering various
alternatives to enhance our ability to meet payment and other obligations under
our indebtedness and the funding requirements discussed below. There can be no
assurance that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet these
obligations on a short-term or long-term basis.

     If we are unable to fund additional collateral needs or to repay, renew or
replace maturing indebtedness on terms reasonably satisfactory to us, we may be
required to sell, under adverse market conditions, a portion of our assets, and
could incur losses as a result. Furthermore, an extremely limited market for
subordinate and residual interests in mortgage-related securities exists under
current conditions and there can be no assurance that one will fully develop,
thereby limiting our ability to dispose of such securities promptly for fair
value in such situations.

     Based on our monthly interest and other expenses, monthly cash receipts and
collateral calls through April 30, 1999, we believe that our existing sources of
funds will be adequate for purposes of meeting our short-term and long-term
liquidity needs. There can be no assurance that this will be the case, however.
Material increases in interest expense from variable rate funding sources,
collateral calls, or material decreases in monthly cash receipts, generally
would negatively impact our liquidity. On the other hand, material decreases in
interest expense from variable rate funding sources or in collateral calls
generally would positively affect our liquidity.

OTHER - YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     Many existing computer software programs and other technologically
dependent systems use two digits to identify the year in date fields and, as
such, could fail or create erroneous results by or at the Year 2000. We, WRSC
(the "Manager") and our loan servicer utilize a number of technologically
dependent systems to operate, service mortgage loans and manage mortgage assets.
The Manager has formed a committee to address year 2000 issues (the "Committee")
that reports directly to the Manager's executive committee. The Committee is
headed by the Manager's Chief Information Officer and includes representatives
from across departments within the Manager's company.

     The Committee has conducted an inventory of all systems for the Manager,
classifying each as either "critical" or "non-critical". For non-critical
systems, the Committee has obtained a certification from the vendor that the
applicable package is "Year 2000 compliant". For systems deemed "critical", the
Committee developed detailed test plans and created separate Year 2000 test
environments.

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
     Our operations are overseen by our Manager, and in accordance with the
management agreement, all operating costs including costs related to the Year
2000 issue are covered in the management fee agreement.  The financial impact of
becoming Year 2000 compliant has not been and is not expected to be material to
us or our results of operations.  Aside from limited hardware costs, the
Manager's parent company's primary expense related to Year 2000 compliance is
allocation of existing staff.  The Committee estimates the total cost related to
Year 2000 compliance to be approximately $0.5 million.

     The significant risk of Year 2000 non-compliance is our Manager's and
servicer's inability to perform necessary loan servicing activities. Currently,
the Company's loan portfolio is serviced by Wilshire Credit Corporation ("WCC"),
an affiliated entity of the manager. As of April 1999, the Manager and Servicer
have completed testing of all critical systems and determined that they are Year
2000 compliant.

     Based on the results of testing performed to date, the Committee is
confident that it is appropriately addressing the Year 2000 issues. Critical
systems supplied by outside vendors have undergone testing not only by the
Manager and Servicer, but by other customers of the vendors as well. WCC's loan
servicing system is an internally developed system and therefore, information
technology personnel are very familiar with the system and believe their efforts
will have favorable results. As a contingency plan, the Committee is in the
process of developing internal operating procedures that would enable
departments to function for a period of time until the primary system could be
restored to operations.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


     It is the objective of the Company to attempt to control risks associated
with interest rate movements. In general, management's strategy is to limit the
Company's exposure to earnings variations and variations in the value of assets
and liabilities as interest rates change over time. The Company's asset and
liability management strategy is formulated and monitored by WRSC regularly to
review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Company's assets and
liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and
liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, including those attributable to
hedging transactions, purchase and securitization activity, and maturities of
investments and borrowings.

     The Asset and Liability Committee is authorized to utilize a wide variety
of off-balance sheet financial techniques to assist us in the management of
interest rate risk. Other than as discussed below, no such techniques were in
use as of March 31, 1999.

     In hedging the interest rate and exchange rate exposure of a foreign
currency denominated asset or liability, the Company may enter into hedge
transactions to counter movements in the different currencies as well as
interest rates in those currencies. These hedges may be in the form of currency
and interest rate swaps, options, and forwards, or combinations thereof.

     The Company is a party to a five year swap in connection with its
investment in real property in the UK. The notional amount is GBP 11,224,000 and
has the financial impact of converting floating rate financing to a fixed rate
of interest.

     At March 31, 1999, the Company had a swap contract in connection with its
investment in a commercial mortgage loan secured by real property in the U.K.
The swap contract is intended to hedge the interest rate basis and currency
exposure between UK Libor (the lending rate) and US Libor (the borrowing rate)
payments, as well as the principal (notional) amount of the loan which, as of
March 31, 1999, was $49.7 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company
will settle in U.S. dollars. As previously discussed, this loan was sold on
April 29, 1999 and, in connection therewith, this swap agreement was terminated.
