                           INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA
                   COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED


       The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet dated as of
March 31, 1996 and unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 have been prepared to
reflect Medallion Financial Corp.'s (the "Company") initial public offering (the
"Offering") which closed on May 29, 1996, and the application of the proceeds of
the Offering.  The proceeds of the Offering were primarily allocated to, and the
pro forma combined financial statements accordingly reflect (i) the Company's
acquisition (the "Acquisition") of Edwards Capital Company ("Edwards"),
Transportation Capital Corp. ("TCC"), Tri-Magna Corporation ("Tri-Magna") and
its subsidiaries Medallion Funding Corp. ("MFC") and Medallion Taxi Media, Inc.
("Media" and collectively with Edwards, TCC, Tri-Magna and MFC, the "Founding
Companies") which were acquired by the Company simultaneously with the closing
of the Offering, and (ii) the repayment of indebtedness.  The pro forma combined
financial statements also reflect the application of the cash acquired in
connection with the Acquisitions and the adjustments described in the
accompanying notes.  The pro forma combined financial information is based on
the historical financial statements of the Company, Tri-Magna, Edwards and TCC,
as well as the estimates and assumptions set forth below and in the notes to the
pro forma combined financial statements.  The pro forma combined balance sheet
was prepared as if the Offering and the application of the proceeds of the
Offering occurred on March 31, 1996.  The pro forma combined statements of
operations were prepared as if the Offering and the application of the proceeds
of the Offering occurred on January 1, 1995.

       Pro forma adjustments are based upon preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions that management deems appropriate.  Pro
forma purchase price adjustment allocations are based on the preliminary results
of the Company's due diligence, but are subject to change, since the preliminary
estimates of the fair value of assets acquired as a result of the Acquisitions
may change upon completion of the final analysis.  The Company does not expect
any such changes to result in a material variation from the information set
forth in the pro forma combined balance sheet.  The pro forma combined financial
information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results
of operations which actually would have occurred if such transactions had been
consummated on January 1, 1995 or March 31, 1996, as applicable, nor does it
purport to represent the Company's future financial position or results of
operations.  Neither expected benefits and cost reductions anticipated by the
Company nor future corporate costs that are not under contract have been
reflected in the accompanying pro forma financial statements.

                           MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP.
             NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                MARCH 31, 1996


     1.   Unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet adjustments ( all dollars
in thousands, except per share amounts):

          (a) Adjustment to reflect the proceeds raised from the Offering based
on the initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, an underwriter's
discount of 7% ($4,428) and estimated expenses of  $2,352 and the issuance of
5,750,000 shares of common stock for a total of 8,250,000 shares of common stock
outstanding.

          (b) Adjustment to reflect the use of a portion of the net proceeds of
the Offering to pay the purchase price of the Acquisitions (estimated to be
$13,378 for Tri-Magna; $15,197 for Edwards; $10,478 for TCC) and an obligation
to repay a Tri-Magna loan ($3,232) due upon consummation  of the Offering and to
repay a portion of existing debt ($14,185).

          (c) Adjustment to reflect the use of a portion of the surplus cash
resulting from the Acquisitions ($7,015) to reduce debt.  The ability to use
excess cash from the Acquisitions to reduce bank debt is contingent upon
regulatory approval for MFC, Edwards and TCC to make loans and advances to the
Company.  If regulatory approval is not received, it is assumed that the excess
cash would be used to fund additional loans.  The effect on pro forma earnings
of these two different uses of cash is insignificant.

          (d) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of investments in Tri-Magna,
Edwards and TCC.

          (e) Adjustment to reflect the use of a portion of the net proceeds of
the Offering ($17,417), plus surplus cash resulting from the Acquisitions
($7,015), to reduce debt.

          (f) Adjustment to reflect the elimination of the accrual of the
Company's deferred offering costs incurred prior to March 31, 1996 in
conjunction with the Offering, net of costs that will be reimbursed in
connection with the Acquisitions, as all of the Offering costs have been paid
with a portion of the proceeds from the Offering.

          (g) Adjustment to reflect purchase price adjustments, including
assumed distributions to Tri-Magna stockholders, associated with the acquisition
of Tri-Magna. This acquisition is to be accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting.  As Tri-Magna was an investment company under the 1940 Act, its
historic balance sheet is reflected at fair market value.  Accordingly, no fair
market value adjustments are required.  Because the acquisition of Tri-Magna
results in the net fair value assigned to the assets exceeding the acquisition
cost, the excess is allocated to proportionately reduce the values assigned to
noncurrent assets with any remaining value constituting negative goodwill.  As a
result of this allocation, Tri-Magna's investment in unconsolidated subsidiary
and fixed assets were written 

                                      -7-

down to zero. The resulting negative goodwill will be accreted to earnings over
approximately 4 years.

          (h) Adjustment to reflect purchase price adjustments associated with
the acquisition of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of
Edwards.  This acquisition is to be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.  Edwards' historic balance sheet is reflected at fair market value.
Accordingly, no fair market value adjustments are required.  Goodwill will be
amortized over 15 years.

          (i) Adjustment to reflect purchase price adjustments associated with
the acquisition of TCC.  This acquisition is to be accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.  Goodwill will be amortized to earnings over 15
years.  Adjustments have been made to record the fair value of assets including
the write-off of the deferred tax asset which will not be realized.

     2.   Unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations adjustments (all
dollars in thousands)

          (j) Adjustments to record the amortization of goodwill (excess of cost
over the fair value of net assets of business acquired) and accretion of
negative goodwill (excess of fair value of net assets over cost of business
acquired), respectively, recorded in purchase accounting related to the goodwill
resulting from the Edwards and TCC acquisitions and the negative goodwill
arising in the acquisition of Tri-Magna.  The goodwill related to Edwards and
TCC is being amortized on a straight line basis over 15 years, and the negative
goodwill related to Tri-Magna is being accreted on a straight line basis over
approximately 4 years.

          (k) Adjustment to reflect the reduction in U.S. Small Business
Administration ("SBA") subordinated debenture interest expense resulting from
the repayment from the net proceeds of the Offering and the cash acquired in the
Acquisitions of all of Tri-Magna's subordinated SBA debentures held during 1995.
An adjustment is also made to reflect the reduction in bank debt interest
expense resulting from the repayment of a portion of bank debt from the net
proceeds of the Offering and the cash acquired in the Acquisitions, bearing
interest at a weighted average rate of 7.60% per annum.  The combined repayment
of SBA and bank debt is equal to $21,200.  In addition, an adjustment was made
for the interest expense savings on the repayment of a Tri-Magna loan ($3,232)
due upon consummation of the Offering.

          (l) Adjustment to reflect the reduction in interest income related to
the payment of $7,015 of excess cash in conjunction with the paydown to bank
debt, bearing interest at an assumed rate of approximately 4.0% per annum,
respectively.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
          (m) Adjustment to record the elimination of the preferred stock
dividend resulting from Tri-Magna's repurchase of preferred stock.  This
transaction occurred on September 29, 1995 and the repurchase was considered by
the Company in its determination of negative goodwill.  The buyback was funded
by additional debt ($3,232) which will be repaid with proceeds from the
Offering.  The interest expense saving which will result from the repayment of
this debt was considered by the Company as a reduction in interest expense.

     TCC also participated in the SBA preferred stock buyback program on August
14, 1995.  There are no dividends to eliminate, as TCC did not elect to pay
them.  Further, no interest income adjustment was reflected related to the
funding of the buyback as the amount was considered nominal.

          (n) Adjustment to reflect the reduction in executive compensation and
pension expense, as a result of the elimination of three senior vice president
executive positions at Tri-Magna.

          (o) Adjustment to reflect the increase in salaries and benefits
expense due to the investment advisory fees to be paid monthly, in arrears, to
FMC Advisers, Inc. ("FMC").  This increase in expense is partially offset by the
reduction in professional fee expense due to the elimination of amortization of
deferred financing costs.

          (p) Adjustment to eliminate certain operations expenses of Edwards.
These expenses will not recur, as the related assets and liabilities were not
acquired by the Company as part of the acquisition of  Edwards.  These expenses
include the elimination of depreciation and the elimination of amortization of
deferred financing costs.

          (q) Adjustment to eliminate certain operation expenses of Tri-Magna in
connection with the accounting for the Company's negative goodwill.  These
expenses will not recur, as the related assets were written off by the Company
as part of the acquisition, including the elimination of Tri-Magna's
depreciation.

          (r) Adjustment to eliminate income and other corporate tax expenses
for TCC and Edwards.  Both companies intend to be treated as regulated
investment companies, and therefore, no taxes will be assessed to them.

                            NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
                                MARCH 31, 1996


(1)  FORMATION OF MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP.

     The Company is a closed-end management investment company and was organized
as a Delaware corporation in 1995.  In 1996, the Company intends to complete the
Offering and intends to file an election under Section 54 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), to be regulated as a business
development company.  In parallel with the Offering, the Company will merge with
Tri-Magna; acquire substantially all of the assets of Edwards; and acquire all
of the outstanding voting stock of TCC.  In connection with the Acquisitions,
the Company has filed an application for an exemptive order under the 1940 Act
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").  The
Acquisitions and the Offering are contingent upon the receipt of such exemptive
order, as well as approval of the SBA.  The Company will engage directly and/or
through its principal subsidiaries primarily in the business of making loans to
small businesses and, to a lesser degree, in the business of taxicab rooftop
advertising.  (See Note 6 - Subsequent Events)

     Tri-Magna is a closed-end management investment company registered under
the 1940 Act and is the sole shareholder of MFC and Media.  MFC is a closed-end
management investment company registered under the 1940 Act and is licensed as a
specialized small business investment company ("SSBIC") by the SBA.  As an
adjunct to MFC's finance business, Media operates a taxicab rooftop advertising
business.  In accordance with the merger agreement between the Company and Tri-
Magna signed on December 21, 1995, Tri-Magna will be acquired by being merged
into the Company and as a result, MFC and Media will become wholly owned
subsidiaries of the Company.

     Edwards is licensed as a small business investment company ("SBIC") by the
SBA and is an unrelated, privately held limited partnership.  Upon consummation
of the acquisition of substantially all of Edwards' assets through a newly
formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Edwards will register as a
closed-end management investment company under the 1940 Act.  On February 21,
1996 the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Edwards.  Under
the agreement, Edwards will sell certain assets to the Company for a purchase
price of approximately $15,000,000 and the assumption of certain liabilities.

     TCC is licensed as an SSBIC by the SBA.  TCC has operated as a wholly
owned, indirect subsidiary of a public company.  The Company will acquire all of
the outstanding voting common stock of TCC.  Upon consummation of the
acquisitions, TCC will be a closed-end management investment company registered
under the 1940 Act and will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  On
February 12, 1996, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with TCC.
Under the agreement, Leucadia (the parent of TCC) will sell, and the Company
will purchase, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of TCC for a
purchase price based upon net book value, as defined in the agreement
(approximately $10,000,000).

                                MARCH 31, 1996


(2)  ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

     The Acquisitions will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.  Under this accounting method, the Company will record as its cost
the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.  The difference
between the cost of acquired companies and the sum of the fair values of
tangible and identifiable intangible assets less liabilities assumed will be
recorded as goodwill or negative goodwill.

     Deferred offering costs incurred by the Company in connection with the sale
of shares will be recorded as a reduction of capital upon completion of the
Offering.  These costs are recorded, net of $200,000 payable by Tri-Magna in
accordance with the merger agreement between the Company and Tri-Magna.

(3)  AUTHORIZED AND OUTSTANDING CAPITAL STOCK

     The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 3,000 shares of
common stock at $.01 par value.  All of the outstanding 200 shares of common
stock were issued in connection with the incorporation of the Company at a price
reflecting the fair market value of the Company at inception.  It is anticipated
that immediately preceding the Offering, the Company will amend its charter to
increase the number of authorized shares of common stock and effect a stock
split to increase the number of the outstanding shares of common stock.  The
exact number of shares to be offered in the Offering and the exact ratio of the
stock split has not been determined and will depend on the valuation of
Medallion by the underwriters and the per share offering price of the common
stock in the Offering.

(4)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company plans to enter into a sub-advisory  agreement (the "Sub-
Advisory Agreement") with FMC in which FMC will provide investment advisory
services to the Company.

     FMC will regularly consult with management of the Company with respect to
strategic decisions concerning originations, credit quality assurance,
development of financial products, leverage, funding, geographical and product
diversification, the repurchase of participations, acquisitions, regulatory
compliance and marketing.

     Unless terminated earlier as described below, the Sub-Advisory Agreement
will remain in effect for a period of two years following execution and delivery
by the parties.  The term will continue from year to year thereafter, if
approved annually by (i) a majority of the Company's noninterested directors and
(ii) the Board of Directors, or by a majority of the Company's outstanding
voting securities, as defined in the 1940 Act.  The Sub-Advisory Agreement will
be terminable without penalty to the Company on 60 days' prior written 

                                      -12-

notice by either party or by vote of a majority of the Company's outstanding
voting securities, and will terminate if assigned by FMC.

     Two trusts affiliated with two individuals who are each officers, directors
and shareholders of the Company have agreed to personally assure FMC of payment
for the first 48 months of service under the Sub-Advisory Agreement pursuant to
an escrow arrangement under which they will maintain in escrow common stock of
the Company worth 200% of the advisory fees remaining to be paid by the Company
to FMC during the first 48 months of service under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

     It is anticipated that in connection with the Offering (as discussed in
Note 1), the Company will implement a stock option plan and enter into
employment contracts with certain individuals who are employees, directors
and/or shareholders of the Company.

(5)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     An individual who is a director, officer and shareholder of Tri-Magna is
also a director, officer and shareholder of the Company.  Two additional
individuals who are directors of Tri-Magna are also directors of the Company.
An individual who is an employee and shareholder of Tri-Magna is also a
director, officer and shareholder of the Company.

     The officers, directors and shareholders of FMC also serve as officers,
directors and shareholders of Tri-Magna.  In connection with the merger of Tri-
Magna with and into the Company, the officers, directors and shareholders of FMC
will cease to hold their positions as officers and directors of Tri-Magna and
will sell their shares of Tri-Magna to the Company.

(6)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Subsequent to March 31, 1996, The Company obtained the required exemptive
order from the Commission, as well as the approval of the SBA.

     On May 29, 1996, the Company issued 5,750,000 shares of common stock at
$11.00 per share; split the existing 200 shares of common stock into 2,500,000
shares; and completed the merger with Tri-Magna and the acquisitions of Edwards
and TCC.

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


GENERAL

     This discussion is intended to assist investors in their analysis of the
financial condition and results of operations of Medallion Financial Corp. (the
"Company").  The information contained in this section should be read in
conjunction with the Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements and Notes thereto
appearing in this report.

     The Company's principal activity is the origination and servicing of loans
financing the purchase of taxicab medallions and related assets ("Medallion
Loans") and commercial installment loans financing small businesses in other
targeted industries ("Commercial Installment Loans").  The earnings of the
Company depend primarily on its level of net interest income, which is the
difference between interest earned on interest-earnings assets consisting
primarily of Medallion Loans and Commercial Installment Loans, and the interest
paid on interest-bearing liabilities consisting primarily of credit facilities
with bank syndicates and subordinated debentures issued to or guaranteed by the
SBA.  Net interest income is a function of the net interest rate spread, which
is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets
and the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as
the average balance of interest-earning assets as compared to interest-bearing
liabilities.  Net interest income is affected by economic, regulatory and
competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and the
availability of funding to finance the Company's lending activities.  The
Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to
the degree that its interest-earning assets reprice on a different basis than
its interest-bearing liabilities.

     The Company's investment income is driven by the yield on Medallion Loans
and Commercial Installment Loans.  The extent to which the yield of the
Company's Medallion Loan originations exceed the prevailing prime rate of
interest charged by major commercial banks (the "Prime Rate") has been in a
long-term decline.  However, since December 1994 the average yield of both the
Medallion Loan and Commercial Installment Loan portfolios has slightly
increased.  Weighted average portfolio yield at March 31, 1996 was 10.62% for
the entire portfolio and 9.90% for the Medallion Loan portfolio.  The increase
in average yield is partially the result of stabilization in market interest
rates for Medallion Loans, which began in July 1994.  Since December 1994, the
average portfolio yield has increased as older, lower interest rate loans in the
portfolio have matured or been prepaid and newer, higher interest rate loans
have constituted a greater proportion of the portfolio.  From inception of its
business through 1995, the period between the origination and final payment of
all Medallion Loans originated by Tri-Magna has been estimated by the Company to
be 29 months.  The Company believes that this time period varies to some extent
as a function of changes in interest rates because borrowers are more likely to
exercise prepayment rights in a decreasing interest rate environment when the
interest rate payable on the borrower's loan is high relative to prevailing
interest rates and are less likely to prepay in a rising interest rate
environment.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
 
     The Company has also increased the average yield of the portfolio by
shifting the portfolio mix toward a higher percentage of Commercial Installment
Loans, which historically have had a yield of approximately 350 basis points
higher than the Company's Medallion Loans and 500 to 700 basis points higher
than the Prime Rate.  On a pro forma basis, Commercial Installment Loans had a
weighted average yield of 13.46% and represented 21.8% of the total portfolio or
$32.3 million at March 31, 1996.  The Company intends to continue to increase
the percentage of Commercial Installment Loans in the total portfolio.

     The Company's interest expense is driven by the interest rate payable on
the Company's LIBOR-based short-term credit facilities with bank syndicates and,
to a lesser degree, fixed-rate, long-term subordinated debentures issued to or
guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA").  Recently, the
Company has reduced its reliance on SBA financing and increased the relative
proportion of bank debt to total liabilities.  SBA financing can offer very
attractive rates, but such financing is restricted in its application and its
availability is uncertain.  In addition, SBA financing subjects its recipients
to limits on the amount of secured bank debt they may incur.  Accordingly, the
Company plans to continue to limit its use of SBA funding and will seek such
funding only when advantageous, such as when SBA financing rates are
particularly attractive, and to fund loans that qualify under the Small Business
Investment Act of 1958 (the "SBIA") and the regulations thereunder ("SBA
Regulations"), through subsidiaries already subject to SBA restrictions.  The
Company believes that its transition to financing its operations primarily with
short-term LIBOR-based bank debt has generally decreased its interest expense
thus far, but has also increased the Company's exposure to the risk of increases
in market interest rates.  The Company also expects that net interest income
should increase because bank debt is more available than SBA financing and will
thus permit an increase in the size of the loan portfolio.  On a pro forma
basis, at March 31, 1996, short-term LIBOR-based debt constituted 74% of total
debt.

     The Company's cost of funds is primarily driven by (i) the average maturity
of debt issued by the Company, (ii) the premium to LIBOR paid by the Company on
its LIBOR-based debt, and (iii) the ratio of LIBOR-based debt to SBA financing.
The Company incurs LIBOR-based debt for terms generally ranging from 30-180
days.  The Company's subordinated debentures issued to or guaranteed by the SBA
typically have terms of ten years.  The Company's cost of funds reflects
fluctuations in LIBOR to a greater degree than in the past because LIBOR-based
debt has come to represent a greater proportion of the Company's debt.  The
Company measures its cost of funds as its aggregate interest expense for all of
its interest-bearing liabilities divided by the face amount of such liabilities.
The Company analyzes its cost of funds in relation to the average of the monthly
90- and 180-day LIBOR (the "LIBOR Benchmark").  At March 31, 1996, the Company's
average cost of funds, e.o.p. was 7.13%, or 157 basis points over the LIBOR
Benchmark of 5.56%.

     In connection with its Medallion Loan finance business, the Company also
conducts a taxicab rooftop advertising business through Medallion Taxi Media,
Inc. ("Media").  Media began operations in November 1994.  Media's revenue is
affected by the number of taxicab rooftop advertising displays ("Displays") that
it owns and the occupancy rate of those Displays.  At March 31, 1996, Media had
1,670 installed displays.  The Company expects that Media will continue to
expand its operations.  Although Media is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, its results of operations are not consolidated with the Company because

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
 
Securities and Exchange Commission regulations prohibit the consolidation of 
non-investment companies, such as Media, with investment companies, such as the
Company.

     Factors which affect the Company's net assets include net realized
gain/loss on investments and change in net unrealized depreciation of
investments.  Net realized gain/loss on investments is the difference between
the proceeds derived upon foreclosure of a loan and the cost basis of such loan.
Change in net unrealized depreciation of investments is the amount, if any, by
which the Company's estimate of the fair market value of its loan portfolio is
below the cost basis of the loan portfolio.  Under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the SBIA and SBA Regulations, the Company's
loan portfolio must be recorded at fair market value or "marked to market."
Unlike certain lending institutions, the Company is not permitted to establish
reserves for loan losses, but adjusts quarterly the valuation of its loan
portfolio to reflect the Company's estimate of the current realizable value of
the loan portfolio.  Since no ready market exists for the Company's loans, fair
market value is subject to the good faith determination of the Company.  In
determining such value, the Company takes into consideration factors such as the
financial condition of its borrowers, the adequacy of its collateral and the
relationships between current and projected market rates of interest and
portfolio rates of interest and maturities.  Any change in the fair value of
portfolio loans as determined by the Company is reflected in net unrealized
depreciation of investments and affects net increase in net assets resulting
from operations but has no impact on net investment income or distributable
income.  Upon completion of the acquisitions (the "Acquisitions") of Edwards
Capital Company ("Edwards"), Transportation Capital Corp. ("TCC") and Tri-Magna
Corporation ("Tri-Magna") and its subsidiaries, Medallion Funding Corp. ("MFC"),
and Medallion Taxi Media, Inc. ("Media" and collectively with Edwards, TCC, Tri-
Magna and MFC, the "Founding Companies"), on May 29, 1996, the Company's loan
portfolio was recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value as estimated by
the Company in accordance with the 1940 Act and the purchase method of
accounting.

     Prior to the Acquisitions, the Company had no results of operations and
each of Tri-Magna, Edwards and TCC had been operating independently of each
other.

     The preceding discussion under the caption "General" has been presented on
a combined basis.  The following discussion, under the caption "Pro Forma
Results of Operations," presents the results of operations of the Company had
the Founding Companies been acquired and the initial public offering effected on
January 1, 1995 or March 31, 1996, as applicable.  In addition, the pro forma
information is based on available information and certain assumptions and
adjustments set forth in the notes to the pro forma combined financial
statements.  The pro forma combined financial statements are not necessarily
comparable to or indicative of future performance.  Following the "Pro Forma
Results of Operations" are discussions of asset and liability management and
liquidity and capital resources of the Company and they are discussed on a
combined basis.

                        PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996

     Performance Summary.  Net increase in net assets resulting from operations
increased $208,000 or 16.1% from $1.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 1995 to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The
increase was the result of an increase in net interest income caused by a
decrease in cost of funds and an increase in portfolio yield.  The increase in
net interest income was partially offset by a decrease in other income caused by
a decline in the receipt of prepayment fees due to an increase in market rates
for Medallion Loans resulting in decreased refinancing activity.  The increase
in net interest income was also offset by a decrease in advertising revenue
resulting from the start-up of Media's maintenance center which services
Displays.  Non-interest expense also decreased because of a reduction in
professional fees as most of these costs were associated with the Acquisition
and are being capitalized.  Net unrealized depreciation of investments decreased
because of the decreased potential loan loss exposure corresponding to the
contraction of TCC's loan portfolio.

     Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $249,000 or 12.9% from
$1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $2.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  The interest rate spread of 1.99% for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 increased 114 basis points to 3.13% for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  This increase reflected a 97 basis point
decrease in the Company's average cost of funds and a 17 basis point increase in
the average yield of the portfolio. The Company's investment income increased
$161,000 or 4.2% from $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to
$4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase in
investment income was the result of portfolio growth of $4.4 million or 3.0%
from an average of $145.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to
an average of $150.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The
increase in investment income was also the result of an increase in the average
yield of the portfolio which increased 17 basis points from 10.45% for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 to 10.62% for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The increase in average yield was caused by both (i) a shift in the portfolio
mix toward a higher percentage of Commercial Installment Loans which
historically have had a yield of approximately 350 basis points higher than
Medallion Loans and (ii) an increase in the average interest rate on Medallion
Loans.  Commercial Installment Loans represented approximately 20.0% of the loan
portfolio at March 31, 1995 and 21.8% at March 31, 1996.

     The Company's interest expense decreased $88,000 or 4.6% from $1.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $1.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. Interest expense decreased as the result of a 97 basis
point decrease in the average cost of funds during the period from an average of
8.46% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to 7.49% for the three months
ended March 31, 1996.  The Company's 97 basis point decrease in average cost of
funds was driven by a 100 basis point decrease in the LIBOR Benchmark during the
comparable periods.  The decrease in average cost of funds was offset by
increased average net borrowings of $7.0 million or 7.7% from $90.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $97.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1996.  The increased borrowings were incurred to fund portfolio
growth.

                                      -17-
<PAGE>
 
     Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiary.  Advertising revenue
generated by Media increased $88,000, or 28.6%, from $308,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 to $396,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 because of an increase in Displays.  The number of Displays owned by Media
increased by 620 or 59% from 1,050 at March 31, 1995 to 1,670 at March 31, 1996.
The increase in Displays also caused Display rental costs to increase $100,000,
or 133%, from $75,000 to $175,000 resulting in a decrease in gross margin of
$13,600, or 6.2%, from $234,600, or 76.2%, for the three months ended March 31,
1995 to $221,000, or 55.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Gross
margin decreased because Display occupancy decreased 20% from an average of 100%
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to 80% for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  Net income (loss) generated by Media decreased $57,000 or 219%
from $31,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to negative $26,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Media's net income (loss) is recorded as
equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary on the Company's pro forma
combined statement of operations.  The decrease in earnings was the result of
reduced Display occupancy and the costs incurred in the start-up of Media's
maintenance center.

     Other Income.  The Company's other income decreased $64,000 or 28.0% from
$228,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $164,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996.  Other income decreased because of a reduction in
the receipt of prepayment fees due to an increase in market rates for Medallion
Loans resulting in decreased refinancing activity.  In addition, other income
declined because of a reduction in the receipt of income from servicing
Medallion Loan participations.

     Accretion of Negative Goodwill.  Negative goodwill is the excess of fair
market value of net assets of an acquired business over the cost basis of such
business.  Negative goodwill of $3.4 million was generated in the acquisition of
Tri-Magna.

     Non-Interest Expenses.  The Company's non-interest expense decreased
$63,000 or 5.7% from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to
$1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease was
primarily due to reductions in professional fees as most of these costs were
associated the Acquisition and are being capitalized.  The Company will seek to
reduce non-interest expense as a percentage of assets by consolidating the
operations of the Founding Companies, maximizing efficiencies of scale and
eliminating redundant services and functions.

     Amortization of Goodwill.  Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired
business over the fair value of net assets acquired.  Goodwill of $6.3 million
was generated in the Acquisition of Edwards.

     Net Realized Gain/Loss on Investments and Change in Net Unrealized
Depreciation of Investments.  For the three months ended March 31, 1995 and
1996, the Company had realized losses on investments of $3,900 and $4,700,
respectively.  The Company's change in net unrealized depreciation of
investments decreased $18,000 or 309.2% from $6,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 to $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, due to the
decreased potential loan loss exposure associated with the contraction of the

portfolio was recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value as estimated by
the Company in accordance with the 1940 Act and the purchase method of
accounting.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     Interest Rate Sensitivity.  Financial institutions such as the Company are
subject to interest rate risk to the extent their interest-earning assets
(consisting of Medallion Loans and Commercial Installment Loans) reprice on a
different basis over time in comparison to their interest-bearing liabilities
(consisting primarily of credit facilities with bank syndicates and subordinated
SBA debentures).

     Having interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice more frequently
on average than assets may be beneficial in times of declining interest rates,
although such an asset/liability structure may result in declining net earnings
during periods of rising interest rates.  Conversely, having interest-earning
assets that mature or reprice more frequently on average than liabilities may be
beneficial in times of rising interest rates, although this asset/liability
structure may result in declining net earnings during periods of falling
interest rates.  The mismatch between maturities and interest rate sensitivities
of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
results in interest rate risk.  Abrupt increases in market rates of interest may
have an adverse impact on the Company's earnings.

     The effect of changes in market rates of interest is mitigated by regular
turnover of the portfolio.  From inception of its business through 1995, the
period between the origination and final payments of all Medallion Loans
originated by Tri-Magna is estimated by the Company to have been 29 months on a
weighted average basis. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that approximately
40% of the portfolio will mature or be prepaid each year.  The Company believes
that the average life of its loan portfolio varies to some extent as a function
of changes in interest rates because borrowers are more likely to exercise
prepayment rights in a decreasing interest rate environment when the interest
rate payable on the borrower's loan is high relative to prevailing interest
rates and are less likely to prepay in a rising interest rate environment.

     The Company seeks to manage the exposure of the balance of the portfolio to
increase in market interest rates by entering into interest rate cap agreements
to hedge a portion of its variable-rate debt against increases in interest rates
and by incurring fixed-rate debt.  The Company has entered into interest rate
cap agreements to limit the Company's interest rate exposure to 7.5% on $20.0
million of its LIBOR-based debt through April 7, 1997 and to 7.0% on an
additional $20.0 million of its LIBOR-based debt through November 16, 1997.  The
Company will seek to manage interest rate risk by evaluating and purchasing, if
appropriate, additional derivatives, originating adjustable-rate loans and
revising, if appropriate, its overall level of asset and liability matching.
Nevertheless, the Company accepts varying degrees of interest rate risk
depending on market conditions and believes that the resulting asset/liability
interest rate mismatch results in opportunities for higher net interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's sources of liquidity are credit facilities with bank
syndicates, fixed rate, long-term subordinated SBA debentures that are issued to
or guaranteed by the SBA and loan amortization and prepayments.  As a RIC, the
Company distributes at least 90% of its investment company taxable income;
consequently, the Company primarily relies upon external sources of funds to
finance growth.  At March 31, 1996, 74% of the Company's $97.4 million of debt
consisted of bank debt, substantially all of which was at variable effective
rates of interest averaging below the Prime Rate and 26% consisted of
subordinated SBA debentures with fixed rates of interest with a weighted average
rate of 7.4%.  The Company is eligible to seek SBA funding but plans to continue
to limit its use of SBA funding and will seek such funding only when
advantageous, such as when SBA financing rates are particularly attractive, or
to fund loans that qualify under SBA regulations through Edwards and TCC which
are already subject to SBA restrictions.  In the event that the Company seeks
SBA funding, no assurance can be given that such funding will be obtained.  In
addition to SBA funding, an additional $6.1 million of debt was available at
March 31, 1996 at variable effective rates of interest averaging below the Prime
Rate under the Company's $92.0 million bank credit facilities.  The Company
increased the amount available under such credit facilities by $7 million on
June 28, 1996.

     The following table illustrates the Company's and each of the Founding
Companies' sources of available funds and amounts outstanding under credit
facilities at March 31, 1996.  This table does not include Media's $275,000
demand loan.  In addition to the following amounts, an additional $18.1 million
became available to the Company from the proceeds of its initial public offering
which closed on May 29, 1996 and the cash acquired in the Acquisitions.

  Loan amortization and prepayments also provide a source of funding for the
Company.  Prepayments on loans are influenced significantly by general interest
rates, economic conditions and competition.  Medallion Loan prepayments
accelerated throughout virtually all of 1993 and the first three months of 1994
because of the generally lower level of interest rates which prompted
significant Medallion Loan refinancing activity.  However, these prepayments
have slowed since early 1994 because of increases in the level of interest rates
which have caused a decrease in Medallion Loan refinancing activity.

  The Company has limited its use of SBA funding and will seek such funding only
when advantageous.  Over the past two years the Company has expanded its loan
portfolio, reduced its level of SBA financing and increased its level of bank
funding.  At March 31, 1996, SBA financing represented 26% of total debt.  While
bank funding often carries higher interest rates than SBA funding, the Company
believes that such higher rates will be offset by the increased volume of
funding and loan originations which should result in increased net interest
margin.

  Media funds its operations primarily through internal cash flow.  Media is not
a RIC and, therefore, is able to retain earnings to finance growth.

  The Company believes that the net proceeds of its initial public offering
remaining after application of such proceeds to the purchase of the Founding
Companies, application of the cash acquired in connection with the Acquisitions,
anticipated borrowings from the SBA and under its bank credit facilities and
cash flow from operations (after distributions to stockholders) will be adequate
to fund the continuing growth of the Company's loan portfolio and advertising
business through at least the first quarter of 1997.  In addition, in order to
provide the funds necessary for the Company's expansion strategy, the Company
expects to incur, from time to time, additional short- and long-term bank and
(to the extent permitted) SBA leverage, and to issue, in public or private
transactions, its equity and debt securities.  The availability and terms of any
such securities will depend upon market, regulatory and other conditions.  There
can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available on terms
acceptable to the Company.
