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

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.

         This management's discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of
operations contains certain "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements relating to future events and financial
performance are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, detailed
from time to time in the Company's various Securities and Exchange Commission filings.  No
assurance can be given that any such matters will be realized.

         Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997.

         Gross revenues increased 262% to $759,961 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
from $210,050 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, primarily because of the increase in
funds available through the Company's initial public offering which enabled the Company to
purchase more Receivables and therefore generate more fee income.

         Net income before depreciation, amortization, and provision for income taxes
increased by $134,453 to $135,752, or 17.9% of gross revenues, for the six months ended June 30,
1998 from $1,299 or .6% of gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  This
increase was primarily due to the increase in funds available through the Company's public offering
of notes which enabled the Company to purchase more Receivables and therefore generate more
fee income.

         Operating expenses increased by $1,629, to $5,256, or .7% of gross revenues, for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, from $3,627 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  This
increase was primarily due to increased legal and accounting expenses related to the
Company's ongoing public offering of Notes.

         Interest expense increased $413,829 to $618,953 or 81.4% of gross revenues, for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $205,124, for the six months ended June 30,
1997.  This increase was primarily due to the increase in investors notes outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's principal sources of liquidity have been internally generated funds
and through the public offering of its 12% Notes.  It is anticipated that funds from operations and
the receipt of the net proceeds of such offering will provide the Company with sufficient
liquidity to meet its debt service and operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. 

                                                   -9-

         The ability of the Company to meet operating forecasts included in its expansion plans
will depend in part upon the successful completion of this offering and its ability to develop
and implement new or additional financial services.
