Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit shall not
be incorporated by reference into any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission made by AmNet Mortgage, Inc. (the "Company") whether before or after
the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such
filing.
On August 15, 2005, the Company issued a press release which included
certain disclosures relating to the Company's financial results for the fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 2005. The full text of the Company's press release is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The main purpose of the press release was to
report financial results of the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
The Company's press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures
(as defined under SEC regulations). We earn both interest income and incur
interest expense in our operations. American Mortgage Network ("AmNet") earns
interest on a loan from the date the loan is funded until final disposition of
the loan sale. Accordingly, interest income is a function of the volume of loans
funded, the interest rate on the loans and the length of time the loans are held
prior to sale. To the extent AmNet funds loans with borrowings under its
warehouse facilities, it records interest expense based on the same factors.
Similarly, we generate revenue on the interest we receive on the small amount of
mortgage loans we hold for investment and we incur interest expense on the
borrowings used to fund our loan portfolio.
Because the interest income and interest expense of our business are
closely related and dependant on many of the same factors, in particular the
volume of loans we originate, management believes that it is helpful in
understanding our operations to analyze the impact of interest income and
expense together. For this reason, the press release text provides information
regarding the net interest income (interest income less interest expense)
generated by the Company's operations. Management believes that this is
consistent with how financial analysts typically consider interest in analyzing
mortgage banking operations. For the same reasons, our discussion of expenses
includes a discussion of our operating expenses, which excludes interest
expense.
Because certain other expenses incurred by AmNet, such as commissions and
contract labor, also vary with the volume of AmNet's loan originations,
management also believes that it is important in understanding our business to
consider the variable and the fixed expenses separately. Accordingly, we have
included an estimated breakdown of variable amounts for our operating expenses.
Management believes that this will enable a better understanding of the
Company's results and the likely impact in the future of changes in our mortgage
loan origination volumes.
