HOMEPLEX MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1996
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Homeplex Mortgage Investments Corporation, a Maryland corporation, (the
Company) commenced operations in July 1988. As described in Note 4 the Company
has purchased interests in mortgage certificates securing collateralized
mortgage obligations (CMOs) and interests relating to mortgage participation
certificates (MPCs) (collectively residual interests). Since December 1993 the
Company has originated various loans secured by real estate (see Note 3). In
June 1996, the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent to merger
with Monterey Homes (see Note 8).
The accompanying interim financial statements do not include all of the
information and disclosures generally required for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of management, however, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
December 31, 1995 financial statements and notes thereto.
NOTE 2 - GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Homeplex
Mortgage Investments Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
(REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company must distribute
annually at least 95% of its taxable income to its stockholders.
At December 31, 1995, the Company has available, for income tax purposes,
a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $57,000,000. Such loss may be
carried forward, with certain restrictions, for up to 14 years to offset future
taxable income, if any. Until the tax loss carryforward is fully utilized or
expires, the Company will not be required to pay dividends to its stockholders
except for income that is deemed to be excess inclusion income.
The income reported in the accompanying financial statements is different
than taxable income because some income and expense items are reported in
different periods for income tax purposes. The principal differences relate to
the amortization of residual interests and the treatment of stock option
expense.
Residual Interests
Interests relating to mortgage participation certificates and residual
interest certificates are accounted for as described in Note 4.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and certificates of
deposit with maturities of less than three months.
Net Income Per Share
Primary net income per share is calculated using the weighted average
shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents. Common stock
equivalents consist of dilutive stock options. Net income per share is the same
for both primary and fully diluted calculations.
Short-Term Investments
At June 30, 1996, short-term investments consist of a Treasury Bill with
a face amount of $9,000,000, maturity date of July 11, 1996 and an estimated
yield to maturity of 4.92%.
NOTE 3 - REAL ESTATE LOANS
The following is a summary of real estate loans at June 30, 1996:
Interest Payment Principal and
Description Rate Terms Carrying Amount (1)
----------- -------- ----------------------------- -------------------
First Deed of Trust on 16% Interest only monthly, principal $ 1,580,000

tain terms and conditions.
First Deed of Trust on 16% Interest only monthly, principal 2,272,000
33 acres of land in due November 21, 1995; extended
Tempe, Arizona. for one year on November 21,
1995 under the same terms and
conditions.

(1) Also represents cost for federal income tax purposes.
At June 30, 1996, both of the Company's loans are secured by properties
located in Arizona. As a result of this geographic concentration, unfavorable
economic conditions in Arizona could increase the likelihood of defaults on
these loans and affect the Company's ability to protect the principal and
interest on such loans following foreclosures upon the real properties securing
such loans.

NOTE 4 - RESIDUAL INTERESTS
The Company owns residual interests in collateralized mortgage
obligations (CMOs) and residual interests in mortgage participation certificates
(MPCs) (collectively residual interests) with respect to which elections to be
treated as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) have been made.
Residual Interest Certificates
The Company owns 100% of the residual interest certificates representing
the residual interests in five series of CMOs secured by mortgage certificates
and cash funds held by trustee. The CMOs have been issued through Westam
Mortgage Financial Corporation (Westam) or American Southwest Financial
Corporation (ASW). The mortgage certificates securing the CMOs all have fixed
interest rates. Certain of the classes of CMOs have fixed interest rates and
certain have interest rates that are determined monthly based on the London
Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) for one month Eurodollar deposits, subject to
specified maximum interest rates.
Each series of CMOs consists of several serially maturing classes
collateralized by mortgage certificates. Generally, principal payments received
on the mortgage certificates, including prepayments on such mortgage
certificates, are applied to principal payments on the classes of CMOs in
accordance with the respective indentures. Scheduled payments of principal and
interest on the mortgage certificates securing each series of CMOs and
reinvestment earnings thereon are intended to be sufficient to make timely
payments of interest on such series and to retire each class of such series by
its stated maturity. Certain series of CMOs are subject to redemption according
to specific terms of the respective indentures.
The Company's residual interest certificates entitle the Company to
receive the excess, if any, of payments received from the pledged mortgage
certificates together with reinvestment income thereon over amounts required to
make debt service payments on the related CMOs and to pay related administrative
expenses of the REMICs. The Company also has the right, under certain
conditions, to cause an early redemption of the CMOs. Under the early redemption
feature, the mortgage certificates are sold at the then current market price and
the CMOs repaid at par value. The Company is entitled to any excess cash flow
from such early redemptions. The conditions under which such early redemptions
may be elected vary but generally cannot be done until the remaining outstanding
CMO balance is less than 10% of the original balance.
Interests In Mortgage Participation Certificates
The Company owns residual interests in REMICs with respect to three
separate series of Mortgage Participation Certificates (MPCs) issued by the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) or by the Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA). The Company's MPC residual interests entitle the
Company to receive its proportionate share of the excess (if any) of payments
received from the mortgage certificates underlying the MPCs over principal and
interest required to be passed through to the holders of such MPCs. The Company
is not entitled to reinvestment income earned on the underlying mortgage
certificates, is not required to pay any administrative expenses related to the
MPCs and does not have the right to elect early termination of any of the MPC
classes. The mortgage certificates underlying the MPCs all have fixed interest
rates. Certain of the classes of the MPCs have fixed interest rates and certain
have interest rates

The average LIBOR and COFI rates used to determine income from residual
interests were as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30 At June 30, 1996
1996 1995 1996 1995 ----------------
---- ---- ---- ----
LIBOR............. 5.44% 6.08% 5.47% 6.07% 5.44%
COFI.............. 4.90% 5.00% 4.98% 4.78% 4.84%
The Company accounts for residual interests using the prospective net
level yield method. Under this method, a residual interest is recorded at cost
and amortized over the life of the related CMO or MPC issuance. The total
expected cash flow is allocated between principal and interest as follows:
1. An effective yield is calculated as of the date of purchase based on
the purchase price and anticipated future cash flows.
2. In the initial accounting period, interest income is accrued on the
investment balance using the effective yield calculated as of the
date of purchase.
3. Cash received on the investment is first applied to accrued interest
with any excess reducing the recorded principal balance of the
investment.
4. At each reporting date, the effective yield is recalculated based on
the amortized cost of the investment and the then-current estimate
of the remaining future cash flows.
5. The recalculated effective yield is then used to accrue interest
income on the investment balance in the subsequent accounting
period.
6. The above procedure continues until all cash flows from the
investment have been received.
At the end of each period, the amortized balance of the investment should
equal the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the
newly-calculated effective yield. If a residual interest is determined to have
other than temporary impairment, the residual interest is written down to fair
value.
At June 30, 1996, the estimated prospective net level yield of the
Company's residual interests, in the aggregate, is 30% without early redemptions
or terminations being considered and 77% if early redemptions or terminations
are considered. At June 30, 1996, the estimated fair value of the Company's
residual interests, in the aggregate, is estimated to be between $5 million and
$7 million.
The projected yield and estimated fair value of the Company's residual
interests are based on prepayment and interest rate assumptions at June 30,
1996. There will be differences, which may be material, between the projected
yield and the actual yield and the fair value of the residual interests may
change significantly over time.

NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT
On December 17, 1992, a wholly owned, limited purpose subsidiary of the
Company issued $31,000,000 of Secured Notes under an Indenture to a group of
institutional investors. The Notes bore interest at 7.81% and required quarterly
payments of principal and interest with the balance due on February 15, 1998. In
connection with the financing, the Company paid fees of $635,000 which were
included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and were
amortized to interest expense over the life of the financing. The Notes were
secured by the Company's residual interests in Westam 1, Westam 3, Westam 5,
Westam 6, ASW 65, FNMA 1988-24 and FNMA 1988-25 (see Note 4), and by Funds held
by the Note Trustee. The Company used $3,100,000 of the proceeds to establish a
reserve fund. The reserve fund, which had a specified maximum balance of
$7,750,000, was to be used to make the scheduled principal and interest payments
on the Notes if the cash flow available from the collateral was not sufficient
to make the scheduled payments. Depending on the level of certain specified
financial ratios relating to the collateral, the cash flow from the collateral
was required to either prepay the Notes at par, increase the reserve fund up to
its $7,750,000 maximum or was remitted to the Company.
On May 15, 1996 the Company repaid the remaining outstanding Note balance
of $6,828,000 plus accrued interest. The Company paid prepayment penalty fees of
$94,000 and wrote off the remaining unamortized balance of $55,000 of
capitalized debt costs in connection with such repayment resulting in an
extraordinary loss of $149,000 from the early extinguishment of debt.
NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has a Stock Option Plan which is administered by the Board of
Directors. The plan provides for qualified stock options which may be granted to
key personnel of the Company and non-qualified stock options which may be
granted to the Directors and key personnel of the Company. The purpose of the
plan is to provide a means of performance-based compensation in order to attract
and retain qualified personnel whose job performance affects the Company.
Options to acquire a maximum (excluding dividend equivalent rights) of
437,500 shares of the Company's common stock may be granted under the plan. The
exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock at
the date of grant. The options expire ten years after date of grant.
Optionholders also receive, at no additional cost, dividend equivalent
rights which entitle them to receive, upon exercise of the options, additional
shares calculated based on the dividends declared during the period from the
grant date to the exercise date. At June 30, 1996 accounts payable and other
liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, include
approximately $850,000 related to the Company's granting of dividend equivalent
rights. This liability will remain in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets until the options to which the dividend equivalent rights relate are
exercised, cancelled or expire.
Under the plan, an exercising optionholder also has the right to require
the Company to purchase some or all of the optionholder's shares of the
Company's common stock. That redemption right is exercisable by the optionholder
only with respect to shares (including the related dividend equivalent rights)
that the optionholder has acquired by exercise of an option under the Plan.
Furthermore, the optionholder can only exercise his redemption rights within six
months from the last to expire of (i) the two year period commencing
11
HOMEPLEX MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 1996
(Unaudited)
with the grant date of an option, (ii) the one year period commencing with the
exercise date of an option, or (iii) any restriction period on the
optionholder's transfer of the shares of common stock he acquires through
exercise of his option. The price for any shares repurchased as a result of an
optionholder's exercise of his redemption right is the lesser of the book value
of those shares at the time of redemption or the fair market value of the shares
on the original date the options were exercised.
At June 30, 1996, there were 445,177 of options (including dividend
equivalent rights) outstanding of which 438,376 were currently exercisable at
effective exercise prices ranging from $1.22 per share to $4.48 per share.
Additionally, in December 1995, in connection with the renegotiation of
the Chief Executive Officer's Employment Agreement, the Company replaced his
annual salary of $250,000 plus bonus with 750,000 non-qualified stock options
which vest over the three year term of the new Employment Agreement. The
exercise price of the options is $1.50 per share which is equal to the closing
market price of the common stock on grant date. As of June 30, 1996, 200,000 of
the options were vested, with 275,000 vesting in December 1996 and the remaining
275,000 vesting in December 1997. The options will immediately vest upon a
change in control, as defined. The options will expire in December 2000. These
stock options are subject to stockholder approval. In the event the stock
options are not approved by the stockholders, the Employment Agreement provides
that the options will be converted into phantom stock rights (PSRs). Such PSRs
have the same vesting provisions, exercise price and expiration date as the
related stock options, except that upon exercise of a PSR no stock is actually
issued. Instead, the Company will make a cash payment to the holder equal to the
difference between the market value of the stock on the exercise date and the
exercise price of $1.50 per share. The PSRs, also, provide that the holder will
receive payments equal to the product of the per share dividend amount times the
number of PSRs outstanding.
NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with requirements of SFAS No. 107,
"Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments". Although management
uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of these instruments, there
are inherent limitations in any estimation technique and the estimates are thus
not necessarily indicative of the amounts which the Company could realize on a
current transaction.
The following describes the significant assumptions underlying the
estimates of fair value:
(a) Real Estate Loans - The Company's real estate loans are both
short-term (one year or less) and considered to be fully
collectible. The terms and conditions of such loans are the same as
would be used by the Company to fund similar type loans at June 30,
1996. As such, fair value approximates cost.
(b) Short-Term Investments - Short-term investments consist of a
Treasury Bill with a fair value that approximates cost.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of
demand deposits and liquid money market funds with fair value
approximating cost.
(d) Residual Interests - Residual interests and their fair value are
described in Note 4 to the financial statements.

HOMEPLEX MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS CORPORATION

Based on these assumptions the Company estimates the fair value of its
financial instruments at June 30, 1996 to be as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 8 - PROPOSED MERGER
In June 1996 the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent
to merge with Monterey Homes, a group of privately-held companies engaged in the
homebuilding business in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson, Arizona. As currently
contemplated the merger would involve the issuance of approximately 3.6 million
to 4.0 million shares of Homeplex common stock, depending on the relative book
values of the respective companies, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding
stock of Monterey Homes. Additionally, up to 800,000 additional shares of
Homeplex common stock will be issued in the event that (i) the stock price of
Homeplex reaches certain targeted levels of between $1.75 to $3.50 in the five
years following the merger and (ii) the two current stockholders of Monterey
Homes are still employed by the post-merger company when the stock price reaches
the targeted levels. Prior to closing, Monterey Homes, a group of subchapter S
corporations, will distribute to their stockholders a significant portion of
their previously taxed retained earnings which will reduce the net worth of
Monterey Homes to between $2.275 and $2.500 million.
It is also currently contemplated that William W. Cleverly and Steven J.
Hilton, the current stockholders of Monterey Homes, will become the Chairman and
the President, respectively, and co-chief executive officers of the combined
company after the closing, and each will enter into a five-year employment
agreement providing for additional options to purchase 500,000 shares each of
Homeplex common stock at $1.75 per share. Messrs. Cleverly and Hilton will serve
on the new Board of Directors along with two new outside directors and one
current Homeplex director.
Monterey Homes had combined revenue of approximately $61 million and $71
million and pre-tax earnings of approximately $6.3 million and $6.4 million for
the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. After the merger, the
combined entities would continue with Monterey Homes' building operations as its
main line of business. Upon consummation of the merger, it is anticipated that
the combined entities will have total assets of approximately $60 million. It is
anticipated that Homeplex's $57 million net operating-loss carryforward for
income tax purposes would be available to the combined company, and the
transaction would require Homeplex to terminate its tax status as a real estate
investment trust (REIT).
The letter of intent is subject to the due diligence of both parties,
negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, the receipt of an
independent fairness opinion, the approval of the Boards of Directors and
stockholders of both companies and the consent of various lenders and other
third parties, as well as other customary conditions.

ITEM 2. Management' Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, Results
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations and Interest Rates and Other Information
------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations For The Three And Six Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company had net income of $148,000 or $.01 per share, and $232,000 or
$.02 per share, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
compared to net income of $335,000, or $.03 per share and $798,000 or $.08 per
share for the comparable periods in 1995. Results for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 include an extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment
of debt of $149,000, or $.02 per share.
The Company's income from mortgage assets was $635,000 and $1,270,000,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
income of $1,078,000 and $2,181,000 for the comparable periods in 1995. Interest
income on real estate loans decreased from $622,000 and $1,197,000,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to $175,000 and
$366,000, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1996 due to a reduction of
the Company's real estate lending programs. See "Liquidity, Capital Resources
and Commitments".
The Company's interest expense declined from $228,000 and $478,000,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to $75,000 and
$238,000 for the comparable periods in 1996 as a result of the Company reducing
its long-term debt.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Commitments
- --------------------------------------------
The Company raised $80,593,000 in connection with its initial public
offering on July 27, 1988. The proceeds were immediately utilized to purchase
residual interests. Subsequently, through October 1988, the Company purchased an
additional $59,958,000 of residual interests which were initially financed using
a combination of borrowings under repurchase agreements and the Company's bank
line of credit. The Company has not purchased any residual interests since
October 1988.
Since December 1993, the Company has originated real estate loans secured
by various first deeds of trust on real properties located in Arizona. The
Company's loan program seeks higher returns by targeting loan opportunities to
which the Company can respond on a more timely basis than traditional real
estate lenders. At June 30, 1996, both of the Company's loans are secured by
properties located in Arizona. As a result of this geographic concentration,
unfavorable economic conditions in Arizona could increase the likelihood of
defaults on these loans and affect the Company's ability to protect the
principal and interest on such loans following foreclosures upon the real
properties securing such loans. The Company may, in the future, make loans on
properties located outside of Arizona. In the latter half of 1995, in
anticipation of a potential acquisition transaction, the Company slowed its
origination of real estate loans. At June 30, 1996 the Company's real estate
loans outstanding total $3,852,000 and bear interest at 16%, payable monthly,
with all principal due within one year.
On December 17, 1992, a wholly owned limited-purpose subsidiary of the
Company issued $31,000,000 of Secured Notes under an Indenture to a group of
institutional investors. The Notes bore interest at 7.81% and required quarterly
payments of principal and interest with the balance due on February 15, 1998.
The Notes were secured by the Company's residual interests in Westam 1, Westam
3, Westam 5, Westam 6, ASW 65, FNMA 1988-24 and FNMA 1988-25 and by funds held
by the Note Trustee. The Company used $3,100,000 of the proceeds to establish a
reserve fund. The reserve fund had a specified maximum balance
14
HOMEPLEX MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS CORPORATION
of $7,750,000 and was to be used to make the scheduled principal and interest
payments on the Notes if the cash flow available from the collateral was not
sufficient to make the scheduled payments. Depending on the level of certain
specified financial ratios relating to the collateral, the cash flow from the
collateral is required to either repay the Notes at par, increase the reserve
fund up to its $7,750,000 maximum or was remitted to the Company.
On May 15, 1996 the Company repaid the remaining outstanding Note balance
of $6,828,000 plus accrued interest. The Company paid prepayment penalty fees of
$94,000 and wrote off the remaining unamortized balance of $55,000 of
capitalized debt costs in connection with such repayment resulting in an
extraordinary loss of $149,000 from the early extinguishment of debt.
At June 30, 1996, the Company does not have any used or unused short-term
debt or line of credit facilities.
As a real estate investment trust (REIT), the Company is not subject to
income tax at the corporate level as long as it distributes 95% of its taxable
income to its stockholders. At December 31, 1995, the Company has a net
operating loss carryforward, for income tax purposes, of approximately
$57,000,000. This tax loss may be carried forward, with certain restrictions,
for up to 14 years to offset future taxable income, if any. Until the tax loss
carryforward is fully utilized or expires, the Company will not be required to
distribute dividends to its stockholders except for income that is deemed to be
excess inclusion income.
In June 1996 the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent
to merge with Monterey Homes, a group of privately-held companies engaged in the
homebuilding business in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson, Arizona. As currently
contemplated the merger would involve the issuance of approximately 3.6 million
to 4.0 million shares of Homeplex common stock, depending on the relative book
values of the respective companies, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding
stock of Monterey Homes. Additionally, up to 800,000 additional shares of
Homeplex common stock will be issued in the event that (i) the stock price of
Homeplex reaches certain targeted levels of between $1.75 to $3.50 in the five
years following the merger and (ii) the two current stockholders of Monterey
Homes are still employed by the post-merger company when the stock price reaches
the targeted levels. Prior to closing, Monterey Homes, a group of subchapter S
corporations, will distribute to their stockholders a significant portion of
their previously taxed retained earnings which will reduce the net worth of
Monterey Homes to between $2.275 and $2.500 million.
It is also currently contemplated that William W. Cleverly and Steven J.
Hilton, the current stockholders of Monterey Homes, will become the Chairman and
the President, respectively, and co-chief executive officers of the combined
company after the closing, and each will enter into a five-year employment
agreement providing for additional options to purchase 500,000 shares each of
Homeplex common stock at $1.75 per share. Messrs. Cleverly and Hilton will serve
on the new Board of Directors along with two new outside directors and one
current Homeplex director.
Monterey Homes had combined revenue of approximately $61 million and $71
million and pre-tax earnings of approximately $6.3 million and $6.4 million for
the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. After the merger, the
combined entities would continue with Monterey Homes' building operations as its
main line of business. Upon consummation of the merger, it is anticipated that
the combined entities will have total assets of approximately $60 million. It is
anticipated that Homeplex's $57 million net operating-loss carryforward for
income tax purposes would be available to the combined company, and the
transaction would require Homeplex to terminate its tax status as a real estate
investment trust (REIT).

The letter of intent is subject to the due diligence of both parties,
negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, the receipt of an
independent fairness opinion, the approval of the Board of Directors and
stockholders of both companies and the consent of various lenders and other
third parties, as well as other customary conditions.
Interest Rates and Prepayments
One of the Company's major sources of income is its income from residual
interests which consists of the Company's investment in eight real estate
mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs") as described in Note 4 to the financial
statements. The Company's cash flow and return on investment from its residual
interests are highly sensitive to the prepayment rate on the related mortgage
certificates and the variable interest rates on variable rate CMOs and MPCs.
At June 30, 1996, the Company's proportionate share of floating-rate CMOs
and MPCs in the eight REMICs is $29,225,000 in principal amount that pays
interest based on LIBOR and $3,787,000 in principal amount that pays interest
based on COFI. Consequently, absent any changes in prepayment rates on the
related mortgage certificates, increases in LIBOR and COFI will decrease the
Company's net income, and decreases in LIBOR and COFI will increase the
Company's net income. The average LIBOR and COFI rates were as follows:
Three Months Six Months
Ended June 30, Ended June 30, At June 30, 1996
-------------- -------------- ----------------
1996 1995 1996 1995
---- ---- ---- ----
LIBOR............. 5.44% 6.08% 5.47% 6.07% 5.44%
COFI.............. 4.90% 5.00% 4.98% 4.78% 4.84%
The Company's cash flow and return on investment from residual interests
also is sensitive to prepayment rates on the mortgage certificates securing the
CMOs and underlying the MPCs. In general, slower prepayment rates will tend to
increase the cash flow and return on investment on investment from interests.
The rate of principal prepayments on mortgage certificates is influenced by a
variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors. In general,
prepayments of the mortgage certificates should increase when the current
mortgage interest rates fall below the interest rates on the fixed rate mortgage
loans underlying the mortgage certificates. Conversely, to the extent that then
current mortgage interest rates exceed the interest rates on the mortgage loans
underlying the mortgage certificates, prepayments of such mortgage certificates
should decrease. Prepayment rates also may be affected by the geographic
location of the mortgage loans underlying the mortgage certificates, conditions
in mortgage loan, housing and financial markets, the assumability of the
mortgage loans and general economic conditions.
