                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. The information presented for the interim periods is unaudited, but includes
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the
opinion of the Company, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  The
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the full fiscal year.  Certain 1993 account balances have been
reclassed to conform with 1994 presentation.

2. Interest expense is net of interest income of $71,000 and $69,000 for the
three months ended March 26, 1994 and March 27, 1993, respectively.  Included in
interest expense is amortization of debt discount of $38,000 and $218,000 for
the three months ended March 26, 1994 and March 27, 1993.

3. For the three months ended March 26, 1994 and March 27, 1993,  the earnings
per share computation assumed the conversion of stock options under the modified
treasury stock method.

4. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred
tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Prior to
1993, the Company used the asset and liability method prescribed by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 96, under which deferred tax assets and
liabilities were recognized for all events that had been recognized in the
financial statements.  The Company has determined the effect of this change in
accounting for income taxes had no impact on the financial results of the
Company.

5. On March 26, 1994 the Company had $10,663,000 in restricted cash of which
$4,243,000 was reserved for debt service and $6,420,000 was reserved for credit
enhancement pursuant to the terms of agreements entered into by the Company on
December 27, 1993 with respect to a $70,000,000 securitization transaction.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter Ended March 26, 1994 Compared to Quarter Ended March 27, 1993


     The Company's net income for the first quarter of 1994 was $207,000, or
$.04 per share, compared to $470,000, or $.10 per share, for the first quarter
of 1993. This decrease was due principally to a decrease in earned income on
leases and notes as well as a substantial increase in selling, general and
administrative costs, partially offset by a reduced provision for losses and a
reduction in interest expense discussed below.

     Earned income on leases and notes for the first quarter of 1994 was
$3,605,000 compared to $4,770,000 for the first quarter of 1993. This decline is
partially due to a declining portfolio resulting from reduced bookings over the
last several quarters and to reduced finance rates charged to the Company's
customers.  Healthco International, Inc. ("Healthco") had previously referred to
the Company substantially all of the Company's business.  Healthco filed for
bankruptcy on June 9, 1993 and subsequently began liquidation under Chapter 7 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The Company has reduced its cost of capital
significantly as a result of the recent Securitization transaction which allowed
it to lower the rates which it charges to its customers while maintaining its
target margins on its financings. Although the Company's management anticipates
an increase in its 1994 bookings from 1993 levels, it expects earned income on
leases and notes to continue to decrease from comparable 1993 levels
until its volume of new business exceeds portfolio runoff. The Company's U.S.
bookings for the first quarter of 1994 were $4,647,800 compared to $4,441,100
for the comparable period in 1993. The Company also had $1,447,500 of Canadian
bookings in the first quarter of 1993 but decided to stop booking business in
Canada in July, 1993.

     The provision for losses was $156,000 in the first quarter of 1994 compared
to $1,038,000 for the comparable period in 1993.  This decrease is due in part
to an increase in loan loss reserves for the year ended December 25, 1993 and in
part to a decrease in business.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were
$1,798,000 compared to $558,000 in the first quarter of 1993, based in large
part on the Company's need to replace services which were formerly provided by
Healthco under intercompany agreements between the two companies. After the
Healthco bankruptcy the Company hired additional senior

management and sales and support personnel to assist the Company in its
transition to a financial services organization no longer affiliated with a
single vendor.


     Net interest expense for the first quarter of 1994 decreased to $1,311,000
from $2,373,000 for the same period in 1993. This decrease resulted from a
reduced level of borrowings as well as reduced interest rates on outstanding
debt.

     The Company's income before income taxes for the first quarter of 1994 was
$340,000 compared to $771,000 for the first quarter of 1993.

     Despite the adverse developments arising out of the Healthco bankruptcy,
the Company has begun to replace the business previously supplied by Healthco
with referrals from other equipment vendors. The Company has established
relationships with several dental, healthcare and other equipment distributors
representing diversified sources of new business. At quarter end, the Company
had customer inquiries with respect to possible new business of $30,000,000,
compared to $20,000,000 of customer inquiries at December 25, 1993.
Additionally, consistent with its strategic plan, the Company opened a new sales
office in southern California in May 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 26, 1994 the Company had $13,869,000 in cash and cash equivalents
compared with $16,600,000 at the end of 1993.  As described in footnote 5 to the
Company's consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form
10-Q, $10,663,000 of such cash was restricted pursuant to the Securitization
agreements as of March 26, 1994. Cash used in operating activities was
$1,150,000 for the three months ended March 26, 1994, compared to $1,103,000 for
the same period in 1993. Cash provided by investing activities was $7,496,000
for the three months ended March 26, 1994 compared to $6,042,000 for the first
quarter of 1993.

     On December 27, 1993, the Company raised $70,000,000 through an asset
securitization transaction (the "Securitization") in which a wholly owned
subsidiary, HPSC Funding Corp. I ("HPSCF"), issued senior secured notes at a
rate of 5.01%. The notes were secured by a portion of the Company's portfolio
which it sold in part and contributed in part to HPSCF. Proceeds of this
financing were used to retire $50,000,000, 10.125% senior notes due
December 28, 1993, and $20,000,000, 10% subordinated debentures due
January 15, 1994.

     The Company has continued discussions with the First National Bank of
Boston as agent bank for a new $20,000,000 revolving credit agreement. The
Company anticipates that it may seek to raise additional capital in 1994 to
finance its activities. The Company expects that it will be able to obtain the
line of credit and additional capital, but there can be no assurance it will be
able to do so.
