REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To CRW Financial, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Collection Division of CRW
Financial, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation) as of December 31, 1996, and the
related statements of operations, Division equity and cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Collection Division of CRW
Financial, Inc. as of December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CRW FINANCIAL, INC.
COLLECTION DIVISION OF CRW FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BACKGROUND:
The Collection Division of CRW Financial, Inc. (the "Division") performs
receivables management, administration and debt collection services for clients
primarily in the health care, student loan, credit card and utility industries,
and to commercial clients. CRW Financial, Inc. ("CRW") was a subsidiary of
Casino & Credit Services, Inc. ("CCS") prior to May 11, 1995, and its operations
were a division of CCS from July 1992 to May 11, 1995 when CCS contributed all
of its assets and subsidiaries other than Central Credit, Inc. ("CCI") to a
newly formed subsidiary, CRW Financial, Inc. CCS then spun-off CRW Financial,
Inc. in a distribution of CRW Financial, Inc. stock to CCS Shareholders on
May 11, 1995.
2. SALE OF DIVISION:
On February 2, 1997, CRW sold the assets of the Division to NCO Group, Inc.
("NCO") for $3,750,000 in cash and 345,178 shares of NCO Common stock and a
warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of NCO Common stock at $27.625 per share and
the assumption of certain liabilities. The NCO Common stock and warrant have
been valued at $9,050,000.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure 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.
Revenue Recognition
Collection fees are recorded as revenue upon collection of amounts owed by the
debtor on behalf of the client. These fees are either billed to the client upon
the Division's remittance of the amount collected to the client or are retained
by the Division through a net remittance to the client.
F-7
<PAGE>
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Division provides for
depreciation on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three to
five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term.
Property and equipment, for continuing operations, consist of the following:

Data processing, telecommunications equipment and
software $ 6,058,000

Intangible Assets

---- ------------
Goodwill, net of accumulated
amortization of $902,000 15 years $ 4,021,000
Noncompete agreements, net of
accumulated amortization of $1,869,000 3-5 years 371,000
----------------
$ 4,392,000
================
</TABLE>
The Division determines impairments to goodwill and other intangibles based upon
management's estimates of undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining
useful life of the intangible asset. If the amount of such estimated
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the net book value of the related
intangible asset, the intangible asset is written down to the amount of the
estimated discounted cash flows. No such write-down of intangible assets were
made in 1995 or 1996.
Income Taxes
The Division accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109). Under
SFAS No. 109, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and
liabilities measured using enacted income tax rates and laws that are expected
to be in effect when the differences reverse.
Statement of Cash Flows
For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, the Division paid interest
expense of $12,000 and $8,000, respectively. The Division did not pay any income
taxes for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996.
F-8
<PAGE>
Investments in RTC Partnerships
In January 1994, CRW entered into two partnerships with the Resolution Trust
Corporation ("RTC") in which the Division is a general partner owning
approximately 37.5% and the RTC is a limited partner. The Division accounts for
these partnerships under the equity method. The Division has contributed
approximately $143,000 of capital to the partnerships and has been retained by
the partnerships as a collection agent for which it is paid a percentage of
collections as a fee. The Division records such contingent fee revenue upon
receipt of payment from the partnership. Revenues paid by the partnership to the
Division in 1995 and 1996 were approximately $1,018,000, and $1,058,000,
respectively. Included in other assets as of December 31, 1996 is the $143,000
of capital contributions made by the Division to the partnerships and the
Division's share of the partnership's undistributed earnings of approximately
$10,000.
4. DEBT:
In February 1994, the Division entered into a Note for the purchase of certain
computer equipment. The Note is for a term of 60 months and requires monthly
payments of principal and interest of $6,260, through January 1999. The Note is
collateralized by the equipment underlying the Note. At December 31, 1996, the
remaining obligation under this Note was $154,000.
In August 1994, the Division entered into a note payable to purchase certain
equipment. The Note bears interest at 10.5% and is payable in monthly
installments, including principal and interest, of $5,414, through August 1997.
The Note is collateralized by the equipment underlying the Note. At December 31,
1996, the remaining obligation under this Note was $36,000.
Future obligations under the notes discussed above, are as follows:
1997 $ 111,000
1998 73,000
1999 6,000
------------
$ 190,000
============
5. INCOME TAXES:
The results of operations of the Division are included in the consolidated
Federal and state income tax returns of CRW. Deferred income taxes result from
temporary differences between tax and financial accounting recognition of income
and expense. The principal temporary differences are depreciation and certain
accruals and reserves not deductible for tax purposes.
F-9
<PAGE>
In 1996, the net income tax benefit has been calculated by multiplying CRW's
Federal effective income tax rate by the Division's pre-tax loss. CRW's federal
effective rate was zero in 1995, therefore, the Division did not record any
income taxes.
Federal and state income taxes are payable by CRW. Therefore, the Division's
portion of these assets have been netted against the due to CRW Financial, Inc.
balance on the accompanying balance sheet. At December 31, 1996, the Division's
portion of CRW's deferred tax asset amounted to $73,000.
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Division has noncancellable operating lease, including the related-party
leases discussed in Note 8, for its office facilities, automobiles and certain
office equipment. Rent expense under leases was $1,299,000 in 1995 and
$1,209,000 in 1996. The future minimum lease payments under leases at December
31, 1996 are as follows:
1997 $ 1,264,000
1998 879,000
1999 671,000
2000 594,000
2001 365,000
----------------
$ 3,773,000
================
The Division is party to a number of lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these
lawsuits will not have a material impact on the Division's financial position,
liquidity or results of operations.
7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
CRW leases an aggregate of 13,000 square feet from a partnership controlled by
the Chief Executive Officer of CRW. The lease requires CRW to make monthly
payments of $23,478 through December 31, 2001. In connection with the sale of
the Division to NCO (Note 2), NCO has subleased this facility through July 31,
1997. In addition, CRW leases an aggregate of 22,000 square feet in King of
Prussia from a second partnership which is also controlled by the Chief
Executive Officer of CRW. This lease requires monthly base rent payments of
$28,875 through April 1, 2005. CRW allocates a portion of the rent expense
associated with these facilities to the Division.
In addition to rent expense on facilities, certain other costs are allocated by
CRW to the Division for overhead, data processing, employee benefits, etc. The
net effect of intercompany transactions is reflected in the Due to CRW
Financial, Inc. balance on the accompanying balance sheet. At December 31, 1996,
the obligation to CRW totaled $2,927,000 and is non-interest bearing. This
obligation has no defined repayment terms.
8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS:
Net revenues from the California Student Aid Commission were $4,220,000 and
$3,619,000 in 1995 and 1996, respectively.

Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The following Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Consolidated
Statement of Income as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996 give effect
to the acquisition of the Collection Division of CRW Financial, Inc. (CRWCD) on
February 2, 1997. The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet and Pro Forma
Consolidated Statement of Income have been prepared from the historical
financial statements of CRWCD and the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial
Statements reported on Form 8-K/A on April 8, 1997, which gave effect to the
acquisitions of Goodyear & Associates, Inc. (Goodyear), CMS A/R Services
(CMSA/R), and Tele-Research Center, Inc. (TRC) in January 1997. The following
Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet assumes that the acquisitions of CRWCD,
Goodyear, CMSA/R, and TRC occurred on December 31, 1996 and the Pro Forma
Consolidated Statement of Income assumes that these acquisitions, and the
acquisition of Management Adjustment Bureau, Inc. (MAB) in September 1996,
occurred on January 1, 1996.
The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements do not purport to represent what
NCO's actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the
acquisitions occurred as of such dates, or to project NCO's results of
operations or financial position for any period or date, nor does it give effect
to any matters other than those described in the notes thereto. In addition, the
allocations of purchase price to the assets and liabilities of CRWCD, as well as
Goodyear, CMSA/R and TRC are preliminary and the final allocations may differ
from the amounts reflected herein. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated
Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the other financial
statements and notes thereto filed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1996.

Pro Forma Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
All of the Company's acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting with the results of the acquired companies included in the
Company's statements of income beginning on the date of acquisition.
(1) Gives effect to the acquisition of CRWCD, as if it occurred on December 31,
1996, for $3.75 million in cash and the issuance of 345,178 shares of the
Common Stock, and the issuance of a warrant for 250,000 shares of Common
Stock at $27.625 per share. The Common Stock and warrants issued were
valued at $9,090,000. In addition, the Company recognized $195,000 of
direct closing costs related to the acquisition and accrued $1,805,000 of
costs related to the termination of employees and other items. Acquisition
adjustments include changes in assets and liabilities of CRWCD from
December 31, 1996 to the closing date, February 2, 1997, as well as the
elimination of assets and liabilities which were not acquired in this
transaction. After allocating the purchase price to the estimated fair
market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company
recognized $12,240,000 of goodwill.
(2) Due to the consolidation or closing of certain CRWCD branch offices, and
the loss of certain contracts during 1996, revenue for CRWCD for 1997 is
anticipated to be 10-15% lower than the revenue shown on the historical
financial statements.
(3) Reflects the elimination of payroll and related expenses relating to the
elimination of certain redundant collection and administration personnel
costs immediately identifiable at the time of the acquisition of CRWCD.
(4) Reflects the elimination of certain rental expenses attributable to
facilities which were immediately identified for closure or consolidation
into other existing facilities.
(5) Reflects amortization expense assuming CRWCD had been acquired on January
1, 1996. In addition, reflects the elimination of depreciation and
amortization expense related to assets revalued or not acquired by NCO as
part of the acquisition of CRWCD.
(6) Reflects the interest expense attributable to additional borrowings on the
Company's credit facility in connection with the acquisition of CRWCD.
(7) Reflects estimated provision for income taxes, at an assumed rate of 40%
after giving consideration to non-deductible goodwill expenses, assuming
the Company had converted from an S Corporation to a C Corporation on
January 1, 1996.

(8) Pro forma net income per share was computed by dividing the pro forma net
income for the year ended December 31, 1996 by the pro forma weighted
average number of shares outstanding. Pro forma weighted average shares
outstanding are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
including common share equivalents giving retroactive effect as of January
1, 1996 to the 46.56-for-one stock split; the issuance of 1,604,620 shares
of common stock (at $13.00 per share) net of estimated underwriting
discounts and offering expenses payable by the Company, to result in net
proceeds sufficient to finance the $3.2 million S Corporation distribution
and repay $15,000,000 of acquisition-related debt; and giving retroactive
effect as of January 1, 1996 to the issuance of 345,178 shares of Common
Stock in conjunction with the acquisition of CRWCD.
