FAI FINANCE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Nature of Business -
FAI Finance Corporation Pty Ltd was incorporated in New South Wales,
Australia on October 15, 1991 and FAI Finance Corporation (NZ) Ltd was
incorporated in Auckland, New Zealand on May 23, 1996.
FAI Finance Corporation Pty Ltd and FAI Finance Corporation (NZ) Ltd,
collectively "the Company" or "FAI Finance Corporation" is a consumer and
business finance company operating in Australia and New Zealand. The main
business activity of the Company is the sale and management of consumer,
commercial and business finance products. Currently more than 80 percent of all
consumer loans rise from Home Security International, Inc's ("HSI") distributor
network in Australia and New Zealand.
b) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Preparation -
The consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of FAI Finance
Corporation Pty Limited and its controlled entity FAI Finance Corporation (NZ)
Ltd and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Form-8K for
Home Security International, Inc filed on January 15, 1998.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents -
Cash equivalents consist of short-term investments with maturities of three
months or less and are stated at cost, which approximates market.
d) Foreign Currencies -
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated into US
dollars to reflect the reporting currency of HSI. The assets and liabilities of
the Company are translated at the balance sheet date exchange rate. The profit
and loss items of the Company have been translated at the average exchange rates
throughout each period. The resulting translation effects are reflected in
shareholders' equity.
The functional currency of FAI Finance Corporation Pty Limited is
Australian dollars and the functional currency of FAI Finance Corporation (NZ)
Ltd is New Zealand dollars.
e) Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such
differences may be material to the financial statements.
f) Income Taxes -
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes") which requires
an asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.

FAI FINANCE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
g) Receivables -
Receivables are presented net of unearned interest. Unearned interest is
amortized to interest income using the effective interest method over the life
of the related loan or commitment period.
h) Allowance for Losses -
The allowance for losses of receivables is established through direct
charges to income. The allowance for losses is determined by management after
analysis of the current trend in the loan portfolio including charge offs, loan
arrears and recoveries. The Company has adopted the policy of charging off
receivables for which no full loan repayment has been received in the last six
months.
i) Plant and Equipment -
Plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are
expenses in the period to which they relate. Depreciation on plant and equipment
is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives of the assets:
<TABLE>

<S> <C>
Office equipment....................... 7.7
Plant.................................. 6
Motor vehicles......................... 6.5
Computer equipment..................... 4
Leasehold improvements................. 6
</TABLE>
j) Research and Development -
The Company has no significant research and development activities.
k) Pension and Other Benefit Plans -
The Company contributes to a pension plan on behalf of its employees. The
pension plan is an accumulation fund and the Company has no liability to members
under the plan. The Company has no other pension or other employment benefit
plans.
l) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivatives as part of its asset/liability management to
reduce its overall level of financial risk arising from normal business
operations. The Company currently uses interest rate options to cap its interest
expense on part of its external borrowings. The Company is not a trader in
derivatives, and it has not used speculative derivative products for the
purpose of generating earnings from changes in market conditions.
NOTE 2: LENDING ASSETS
Lending assets include receivables.
a) Diversification of Credit Risk -
The Company predominantly lends to consumers. There are no individual loans
which exceed 5% of the lending assets at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1997.

NOTE 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is party to a number of legal proceedings as plaintiff and
defendant, all arising in the ordinary course of its business. Although the
ultimate amount for which the Company may be held liable, if any, is not
ascertainable, the Company believes that the amounts, if any, which may
ultimately be funded or paid with respect to these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.

NOTE 12: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information
for certain financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that
value. Since there is no well established market for many of the Company's
assets, fair values are estimated using present value and other valuation
techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used,
including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. These
assumptions are inherently judgmental and changes in such assumptions could
significantly affect fair value calculations. The derived fair value estimates
may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be
realized in immediate liquidation of the instrument.
For variable rate borrowings that reprice frequently, fair values were
assumed to equal carrying values. The loans from FAI Insurances Limited and FAI
General Insurances Limited were renegotiated as part of HSI's acquisition of a
50% interest in the Company. These loans bear interest from January 1, 1998, and
as a consequence their carrying values approximate fair values.
For fixed rate consumer and business loans, the fair values were assumed to
equal carrying values as the market interest rates charged on the loans have not
changed significantly since the loans were granted.
Carrying values approximate fair values for all other financial
instruments.

FAI FINANCE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
NOTE 14: FINANCE FACILITIES
On June 28, 1996, the Company entered into the Receivables Purchase
Agreement with Westpac Banking Corporation ("Westpac"). Under this agreement,
the Company has the right to sell eligible receivables to Westpac and undertakes
to continue to service the receivables in exchange for a management fee.
The company also has the option to re-purchase the receivables at an amount
determined by Westpac which is to take into account the outstanding principal on
purchased loans and any outstanding obligations to Westpac under the agreement,
including unpaid interest and facility fees.
Under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, FAI General Insurances Limited
must maintain a sub-ordinated loan with Westpac equal to the greater of
$2,610,800 and 25% of the outstanding sold receivable in the first year or not
less than 20% in subsequent years. The right of FAI General Insurances Limited
to receive interest and principal repayments in respect of the loan are subject
to Westpac's prior ranking as agreed between the parties.
The Company is required to maintain a cash reserve account (restricted
deposit) with Westpac, the balance of which is not less than the greater of
$652,700 and 5% of the outstanding principal on sold receivables. Interest on
the cash reserve account is only paid after the interest obligations under the
Westpac loan and sub-ordinated loan have been met. The balance of the account is
only available to the Company after all outstanding obligations to Westpac and
the sub-ordinated loans have been met.
The Company has not recognized the sales of receivables under the agreement
as a sale for financial reporting purposes. The sales proceeds received from
Westpac have been recognized as secured borrowing, and interest, program and
line fees under the Westpac facility have been recognized as interest expense.
Under the agreement the Company pays interest to Westpac at the Australian Bank
Bill rate plus 2.0% pa. In addition, the Company pays program and line fees as
agreed between the parties.
The current limit of the facility provided by Westpac is $19,581,000
(utilized at December 31, 1997 - $15,571,194). The scheduled commitment
termination date for the Receivables Purchase Agreement is the third anniversary
of the date the agreement was entered into. This date may be extended at the
sole discretion of Westpac on the second or any subsequent anniversary of the
Agreement for a further period of one year. If the Company wants an extension of
the scheduled commitment termination date it must give a written request to
Westpac at least 60 days before the relevant anniversary. If Westpac agrees, it
must give written notice to the Company not later than the day of the relevant
anniversary.
FAI Insurances Limited has agreed to provide a loan of up to $13,054,000 to
the Company to enable it to fund its financing activities. This facility is
secured by the Company's shares.
NOTE 15: DERIVATIVES
The company has entered an interest rate collar with Westpac. Under the
collar the Company has capped its interest payable on a notional borrowing of
$19,560,000 at 13.5% pa, until 14 August 2001. The company has also set a floor
on the same notional principal and maturity, at 6.03%pa.

Report of Independent Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors of FAI Finance Corporation Pty Limited:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of FAI Finance
Corporation Pty Limited as of June 30, 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the
year then ended . These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in Australia, which are substantially similar to generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States of America. 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FAI Finance
Corporation Pty Limited as of June 30, 1997, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America.
The consolidated financial statements of FAI Finance Corporation Pty Limited as
of and for the six months ended December 31, 1997, which are presented solely
for comparative purposes, were not audited by Independent Public Accountants.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Nature of Business -
Home Security International, Inc. ("HSI") was incorporated in Delaware,
United States of America on April 11, 1997. On June 30, 1997 HSI acquired FAI
Home Security Pty Limited (incorporated in New South Wales, Australia on August
13, 1990) and FAI Home Security (ENZED) Limited (incorporated in Auckland, New
Zealand on April 24, 1997) as well as certain tangible and intangible assets of
the United Kingdom (including certain European countries), South Africa, Canada
and the United States of America Home Security operations ("International
Operations") (all collectively called "the Company"). The background to the
reorganisation and acquisition is as follows:
FAI Home Security (ENZED) Limited acquired all of the intangible assets,
fixed assets and inventory, net of warranty provision from FAI Home Security
(NZ) Trust on April 30, 1997. The consideration for the acquisition was the
issue of fully paid ordinary shares for the value of the intangibles, and a note
payable ("NZ Note") of $208,894 for the net intangible assets acquired. FAI Home
Security (NZ) Trust then sold these shares and the NZ Note to FAI Home Security
Holdings Pty Ltd on June 30, 1997.
The International Operations were acquired by FAI Home Security Holdings
Pty Limited on March 31, 1997 from FAI Home Security (UK) Trust, FAI Home
Security (Canada) Unit Trust and their subsidiaries FAI Home Security USA, Inc
and FAI Home Security (AFRICA)(PROPRIETARY) Ltd (the "Cooper International
Group").
As part of the reorganisation on June 30, 1997 HSI acquired from FAI Home
Security Holdings Pty Ltd all of the shares of FAI Home Security Pty Limited and
FAI Home Security (ENZED) Limited, plus the NZ Note and the inventory, fixed
assets and intangible assets of the International Operations (the "International
Assets") in exchange for the issue of 4,499,999 shares, the issue of a $911,892
note payable to FAI Home Security Holdings Pty Limited ("FAI Note") equivalent
to the book value of assets acquired, being $641,138, plus $270,754, and a
further note payable in the amount of $208,894 for the NZ Note.
The main business activity of the Company, is the sale, service and
monitoring of security alarm systems, which are sold via a distributor network
to residential and small business premises in the countries of operations.
The security alarm system, "Security Guard", and other major components are
supplied exclusively by Ness Security Products Pty Limited, an unrelated company
based in Sydney, Australia.
On December 31, 1997 the Company acquired 50 percent of the equity interest
in FAI Finance Corporation Pty Limited (together with its subsidiary FAI Finance
Corporation (NZ) Limited (FFC)) from FAI Insurances Ltd. FFC is a consumer
finance company in both Australia and New Zealand and finances more than 80% of
all customer accounts financed by the Company's distributorship network in
Australia and New Zealand.
The purchase price of $7,016,525 will be financed by the seller over a
period of five years at a fixed interest rate of 7.75% per annum payable monthly
in arrears. The first installment of $1,631,750 was paid on January 2, 1998. The
Agreement also grants the Company an option (the "Option") at no additional
cost, exercisable over four years from the date of the Agreement, to purchase
the remaining 50% interest in FFC, from FAI, for $7,016,525 plus 50% of the
increase in FFC's retained earnings from January 1, 1998 to the date the Option
is exercised. The total purchase price for the remaining shares in FFC will be
financed by FAI over four years from the date the Option is exercised.
b) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Preparation -
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America (" US GAAP "). The investments in FFC is recorded on the equity method.
The acquisition of FAI Home Security Pty Limited, FAI Home Security (ENZED)
Limited was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control
on an historic cost basis in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The
acquisition of the International Operations by the Company's predecessor and the
acquisition of the interest in FFC were accounted for as purchases.
<PAGE>
HOME SECURITY INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the period have been made.
The consolidated statement of income for the year ended June 30, 1997, 1996
and 1995 include the financial statements of the Company and FAI Home Security
(NZ) Limited and FAI Home Security (NZ) Trust as those entities were under
common control during those years. Results of the International Operation for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 have been included in the 1997 financial
statements since those operations were acquired by the Company's predecessor on
March 31, 1997.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents -
Cash equivalents consist of short-term investments with maturities of three
months or less and are stated at cost, which approximates market.
d) Foreign Currencies -
The consolidated financial statements are translated into US dollars to
reflect the Company's reporting currency. The assets and liabilities are
translated at the balance sheet date exchange rate. The profit and loss items
have been translated at the average exchange rates throughout each period. The
resulting translation effects are reflected in shareholders' equity.
The functional currency of FAI Home Security (ENZED) Limited is New Zealand
dollars and the functional currency of FAI Home Security Pty Limited is
Australian dollars.
e) Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such
differences may be material to the financial statements.
f) Income Taxes -
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 ("Accounting for Income Taxes") which
requires an asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
g) Revenue Recognition -
Revenue is recognized at the time of shipment of products and is shown net
of returns and rebates. The Company warrants its products against defects in
design, materials and workmanship for one year and provides a security call-out
service for emergency response for five years. A provision for estimated future
costs relating to warranty expenses and security call-outs is recorded when
products are shipped. The Company also sells extended product warranties for
periods of one to two years and the income derived is recognized on a straight-
line basis over the life of the warranties.
h) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts -
Management reviews the collectability of accounts receivable on a regular
basis. Amounts, if any, which are determined to be uncollectable are provided
for in the financial statements in the period such determination is made.
i) Inventories -
Inventories consist of wholesale stock and sales aids and are stated at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out method), or market.
<PAGE>
j) Plant and Equipment -
Plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are
expenses in the period to which they relate. Depreciation on plant and equipment
is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives of the assets:
<TABLE>

Furniture and fixtures....................... 8
Office equipment............................. 8
Plant........................................ 5
Motor vehicles............................... 6.5

Leasehold improvements....................... 3
</TABLE>
k) Research and Development -
The Company has no significant research and development activities.
l) Pension and Other Benefit Plans -
The Company contributes to a pension plan on behalf of its employees. The
pension plan is an accumulation fund and the Company has no liability to members
under the plan. The Company has no other pension or other employment benefit
plans.
m) Intangible Assets -
Intangible assets represent the excess of cost over fair value of assets
acquired and are amortized using the straight- line method over twenty years.
The carrying value of intangible assets is periodically reviewed by the Group
based on the expected future undiscounted operating cash flows of the related
business unit. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Group believes that no
material impairment of intangible assets exists at December 31, 1997.
The excess of cost over fair value of the assets of FFC acquired will be
amortized using the straight-line method over 20 years and will be recognized as
part of the Company's equity in net income of FFC.
n) Derivative Financial Instruments -
The Company periodically enters into forward currency exchange contracts
and options to manage the risl of foreign currency fluctuations, since a
significant portion of its sale are in foreign currencies. The change in fair
value of the contracts is recognized immediately and included in the
determination of net income. The Company is not a trader in derivative
securities, and it has not used speculative derivative products for the purpose
of generating earnings from changes in market conditions.
o) Earnings per Share -
Earnings per share have been computed according to the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" using the weighted average number of shares outstanding and assuming the
1997 reorganization occurred as of January 1, 1995. Earnings per share assuming
dilution have been computed based on the assumption that all stock options have
been exercised.
p) Stock Option plan -
The Company accounts for its stock option plans (the "Option Plans") in
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As such, compensation expense
is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the
underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. FASB Statement No. 123, which
became effective in 1996, allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of
APB Opinion No.25 but requires pro forma net earnings and pro forma earnings per
share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and thereafter
as if the fair-value-based method defined in FASB Statement No. 123 had been
applied. The Company has determined that the net income and net income per
common share would not be materially affected by the provision of FASB Statement
No. 123.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid by the ultimate
parent entity, FAI Insurances Limited, intermediate parent entities, such as FAI
Home Security Holdings Pty Limited and FAI Home Security (Aust) Unit Trust, and
Home Security International, Inc over the fair value of assets acquired when FAI
Insurances Limited acquired its additional shareholding in FAI Home Security
Holdings Pty Limited from Mr. Bradley Cooper in 1995, and the goodwill
associated with the acquisition of the International Assets in March 1997. The
goodwill includes additional consideration paid in 1996 and 1997, relating to
the acquisition under the purchase agreement.
NOTE 9: INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANIES
On December 31, 1997 the Company acquired a 50 percent equity interest in
FAI Finance Corporation Pty Limited and it's subsidiary FAI Finance Corporation
(NZ) Limited (FFC) from FAI Insurances Ltd. FFC is a consumer finance company
in both Australia and New Zealand and finances more than 80% of all customer
accounts financed by the Company's distributorship network in Australia and New
Zealand.
The purchase price of $7,016,525 has been financed by the seller over a
period of five years at a fixed interest rate of 7.75% per annum payable monthly
in arrears. The first installment of $1,631,750 was paid on January 2, 1998 .
The Agreement also grants the Company an option (the "Option") at no additional
cost, exercisable over four years from the date of the Agreement, to purchase
the remaining 50% interest in FFC, from FAI, for $7,016,525 plus 50% of the
increase in FFC's retained earnings from January 1, 1998 to the time the Option
is exercised. The total purchase price for the remaining shares in FFC will be
financed by FAI over four years from the date the Option is exercised.

funds from any private or public issue of any debt or equity instruments, up to
40% of the proceeds from such issue must be used to pay down the then
outstanding balance of the FAI Insurances Group Note.
The Company has capitalized costs of $197,690 relating to this acquisition.
NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

equivalents, accounts receivable and payable approximate their respective fair
values due to short maturities of those instruments. The foreign exchange
contracts are carried at their market value. The carrying value of the long-term
payable to FAI Insurances Limited approximates its fair value as the loan was
granted on December 31, 1997 at market rates.
NOTE 11: LEASE COMMITMENTS
The operating lease commitments of the Company consist of property rentals and
computer equipment leases.

The Company has two stock option plans.
1997 Stock Option Plan. The Company has adopted the 1997 Stock Option
Plan (the "1997 Plan"), under which the Compensation Committee may grant options
to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock to management,
employees and advisers of the Company. The 1997 Plan provides for the grant of
stock options (:Options"), including incentive stock options within the meaning
of Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Chose of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), and non-statutory stock options that do not qualify as stock
options under Section 422 of the Code ("Non-Statutory Options"). On July 15,
1997, the Company issued 250,000 Options to Bradley D. Cooper, exercisable at a
rate of 20% per year commencing on the first anniversary date of the IPO, at an
exercise price of $10.00 per share. In addition, on July 15, 1997, the Company
issued an additional 250,000 Options for issuance to key employees of the
Company, other than Bradley D. Cooper, which are exercisable at a rate of 20%
per year commencing on the first anniversary date of the effective date of the
Company's IPO, at an exercise price of $10.00 per share.
1997 Non - Employee Director Stock Option Plan. The Company has adopted
the 1997 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan"), under

closing of the Company's IPO in July 1997, all non-employee directors received
options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share under the
Director Plan. On the day after each annual meeting of the shareholders of the
Company, provided that he or she continues to serve as a member of the Board of
Directors, all non-employee directors will receive options to purchase an
additional 2,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equivalent to the
market price of the stock on the date of such grant. All such grants will be
Non-Statutory Options. On July 15, 1997, 20,000 options were issued to non-
executive directors. The options granted under the Director Plan are
exercisable beginning six months from the date of grant.

Report of Independent Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Home Security International, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of the Home
Security International, Inc. as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1997. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in Australia, which are substantially similar to generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States of America. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Home Security
International, Inc. as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America.
The consolidated financial statements of Home Security International, Inc. as of
and for the six months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, which are presented

FAI FINANCE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Nature of Business -
FAI Finance Corporation Pty Ltd was incorporated in New South Wales,
Australia on October 15, 1991 and FAI Finance Corporation (NZ) Ltd was
incorporated in Auckland, New Zealand on May 23, 1996.
FAI Finance Corporation Pty Ltd and FAI Finance Corporation (NZ) Ltd,
collectively "the Company" or "FAI Finance Corporation" is a consumer and
business finance company operating in Australia and New Zealand. The main
business activity of the Company is the sale and management of consumer,
commercial and business finance products. Currently more than 80 percent of all
consumer loans rise from Home Security International, Inc's ("HSI") distributor
network in Australia and New Zealand.
b) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Preparation -
The consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of FAI Finance
Corporation Pty Limited and its controlled entity FAI Finance Corporation (NZ)
Ltd and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Form-8K for
Home Security International, Inc filed on January 15, 1998.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents -
Cash equivalents consist of short-term investments with maturities of three
months or less and are stated at cost, which approximates market.
d) Foreign Currencies -
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated into US
dollars to reflect the reporting currency of HSI. The assets and liabilities of
the Company are translated at the balance sheet date exchange rate. The profit
and loss items of the Company have been translated at the average exchange rates
throughout each period. The resulting translation effects are reflected in
shareholders' equity.
The functional currency of FAI Finance Corporation Pty Limited is
Australian dollars and the functional currency of FAI Finance Corporation (NZ)
Ltd is New Zealand dollars.
e) Use of Estimates -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such
differences may be material to the financial statements.
f) Income Taxes -
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes") which requires
an asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
g) Receivables -
Receivables are presented net of unearned interest. Unearned interest is
amortized to interest income using the effective interest method over the life
of the related loan or commitment period.
h) Allowance for Losses -
The allowance for losses of receivables is established through direct
charges to income. The allowance for losses is determined by management after
analysis of the current trend in the loan portfolio including charge offs, loan
arrears and recoveries. The Company has adopted the policy of charging off
receivables for which no loan installment has been received in the last six
months.
i) Plant and Equipment -
Plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are
expenses in the period to which they relate. Depreciation on plant and equipment
is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives of the assets:
<TABLE>

Office equipment....................... 7.7
Plant.................................. 6
Motor vehicles......................... 6.5

</TABLE>
j) Research and Development -
The Company has no significant research and development activities.
k) Pension and Other Benefit Plans -
The Company contributes to a pension plan on behalf of its employees. The
pension plan is an accumulation fund and the Company has no liability to members
under the plan. The Company has no other pension or other employment benefit
plans.
l) Derivative Financial Instruments -
The Company uses derivatives as part of its asset/liability management to
reduce its overall level of financial risk arising from normal business
operations. The Company currently uses interest rate options to cap its interest
expense on part of its external borrowings. The Company is not a trader in
derivatives, and it has not used speculative derivative products for the
purpose of generating earnings from changes in market conditions.
NOTE 2: LENDING ASSETS
Lending assets include receivables.
a) Diversification of Credit Risk -

NOTE 12: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information
for certain financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that
value. Since there is no well established market for many of the Company's
assets, fair values are estimated using present value and other valuation
techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used,
including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. These
assumptions are inherently judgmental and changes in such assumptions could
significantly affect fair value calculations. The derived fair value estimates
may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be
realized in immediate liquidation of the instrument.
For variable rate borrowings that reprice frequently, fair values were
assumed to equal carrying values. The loans from FAI Insurances Limited and FAI
General Insurance Company Limited were renegotiated as part of HSI's acquisition
of a 50% interest in the Company. These loans bear interest from January 1,
1998, and as a consequence their carrying values approximate fair values.
For fixed rate consumer and business loans, the fair values were assumed to
equal carrying values as the market interest rates charged on the loans have not
changed significantly since the loans were granted.
Carrying values approximate fair values for all other financial
instruments.

FAI FINANCE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
NOTE 14: FINANCE FACILITIES
On June 28, 1996, the Company entered into the Receivables Purchase
Agreement with Westpac Banking Corporation ("Westpac"). Under this agreement,
the Company has the right to sell eligible receivables to Westpac and undertakes
to continue to service the receivables in exchange for a management fee.
The company also has the option to re-purchase the receivables at an amount
determined by Westpac which is to take into account the outstanding principal on
purchased loans and any outstanding obligations to Westpac under the agreement,
including unpaid interest and facility fees.
Under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, FAI General Insurance Company
Limited must maintain a subordinated loan with Westpac equal to the greater of
$2,610,800 and 25% of the outstanding sold receivable in the first year or not
less than 20% in subsequent years. The right of FAI General Insurance Company
Limited to receive interest and principal repayments in respect of the loan are
subject to Westpac's prior ranking as agreed between the parties. FAI General
Insurance Company Ltd as agreed to provide a sub-ordinated loan to Westpac to a
maximum of $13,054,000.
The Company is required to maintain a cash reserve account (restricted
deposit) with Westpac, the balance of which is not less than the greater of
$652,700 and 5% of the outstanding principal on sold receivables. Interest on
the cash reserve account is only paid after the interest obligations under the
Westpac loan and sub-ordinated loan have been met. The balance of the account is
only available to the Company after all outstanding obligations to Westpac and
the sub-ordinated loans have been met.
The Company has not recognized the sales of receivables under the agreement
as a sale for financial reporting purposes. The sales proceeds received from
Westpac have been recognized as secured borrowing, and interest, program and
line fees under the Westpac facility have been recognized as interest expense.
Under the agreement the Company pays interest to Westpac at the Australian Bank
Bill rate plus 2.0% pa. In addition, the Company pays program and line fees as
agreed between the parties.
The current limit of the facility provided by Westpac is $19,581,000
(utilized at December 31, 1997 - $15,571,194). The scheduled commitment
termination date for the Receivables Purchase Agreement is the third anniversary
of the date the agreement was entered into. This date may be extended at the
sole discretion of Westpac on the second or any subsequent anniversary of the
Agreement for a further period of one year. If the Company wants an extension of
the scheduled commitment termination date it must give a written request to
Westpac at least 60 days before the relevant anniversary. If Westpac agrees, it
must give written notice to the Company not later than the day of the relevant
anniversary.
FAI Insurances Limited and FAI General Insurance Company Limited have
agreed to each provide a loan of up to $10,000,000 to the Company to enable it
to fund its financing activities. This facility is secured by the Company's
shares.

Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in Australia, which are substantially similar to generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States of America. 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
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FAI Finance
Corporation Pty Limited as of June 30, 1997, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America.
