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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to Quarter Ended September 24,
1994

The Company's net income for the third quarter of 1995 was $89,000 or $.02
per share compared to $70,000 or $.01 per share for 1994.  For the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, net income was $312,000 or $.08 per share
compared to $416,000 or $.08 per share in 1994.  Per share calculations
exclude 1,225,182 shares carried as Treasury Stock at September 30, 1995;
there were no treasury shares in 1994.  For the quarter ended September 30,
1995, the increase in net income resulted from an increase in earned income
from leases and notes and lower net selling, general and administrative costs
offset by a higher provision for losses and higher interest costs.

Earned income on leases and notes for the third quarter of 1995 was
$3,417,000 compared to $2,776,000 in 1994.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, earned income was $9,564,000 compared to $9,443,000 for
the comparable period in 1994.  The increase in the third quarter was due
primarily to the continuing expansion of the portfolio as compared to the
prior year.  For the nine month period, the increase in earned income was
caused by the sale of the Canadian portfolio in the second quarter of 1994
offset by a slightly larger portfolio of earning assets for the nine-month
period in 1995.  The Company's volume of new financing for the third quarter
of 1995 was $17,843,000 compared to $9,185,000 for the same period in 1994.
For the nine month period, new financings were $46,030,000 for 1995 compared
to $20,129,000 for 1994.

The provision for losses was $336,000 in the quarter ended September 30,
1995, compared to $164,000 for the comparable period in 1994.  For the nine
month period in 1995, the provision for losses was $877,000 compared to
$524,000 in 1994.  These increases are the result of higher levels of new
financings in 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September
30, 1995, were $1,537,000 as compared to $1,705,000 for the comparable period
in 1994.  For the nine month period in 1995, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $4,537,000 as compared to $5,237,000.  These
decreases were the result of the decrease in Canadian expenses in 1995 and an
increase in initial direct cost capitalization due to the higher volume of
new financings in 1995 as compared to 1994.

Net interest expense for the third quarter of 1995 was $1,397,000 as
compared to $792,000 in the same period of 1994.  This increase was due to
the higher outstanding debt levels needed to support the increased new
financing levels.  For the nine month period, interest expense increased to
$3,636,000 in 1995 from $2,998,000 in 1994.  This increase was the result of
higher debt levels in 1995.

The Company's income before income taxes in the third quarter of 1995 was
$147,000 compared to $115,000 in 1994.  For the nine months ended September
30, 1995, income before income taxes was $514,000 compared to $684,000 in
1994.  The effective tax rate remained approximately the same for all
periods.

period of 1994.  Cash used in investing activities was $19,149,000 for the
nine months ended September  30, 1995 compared to cash provided by investing
activities of $19,418,000 in the same period for 1994.  This change is due to
an increasing portfolio of earning assets in 1995 as compared to a decreasing
portfolio in 1994.

As of January 31, 1995, the Company, along with its newly-formed,
wholly-owned, special-purpose subsidiary, HPSC Bravo Funding Corp.
("Bravo") completed a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility structured and
guaranteed by Capital Markets Assurance Corporation ("CapMAC").  Under the
terms of the facility, Bravo, to which the Company has sold and may continue
to sell or contribute certain of its portfolio assets, pledges its interest
in these assets to a commercial-paper conduit entity.  Bravo incurs interest
at variable rates in the commercial paper market and enters into interest
rate swap agreements to assure fixed rate funding.  Monthly settlements of
principal and interest payments are made from the collection of payments on
Bravo's transactions.  Additional sales to Bravo from HPSC may be made
subject to certain covenants regarding Bravo's portfolio performance and
borrowing base calculations.

The Company is the servicer of the Bravo portfolio, subject to meeting
certain covenants.  The required monthly payments of principal and interest
to purchasers of the commercial paper are guaranteed by Cap MAC pursuant to
the terms of the agreement.  Amounts outstanding under this agreement were
$20,609,000 at September 30, 1995.

In May, 1995, the Company executed an Amended and Restated Revolving Loan
Agreement increasing availability to $50 million. This new agreement will
expire at December 31, 1995. The Company is currently negotiating an
amendment to this agreement to extend the term and increase total
availability under the agreement.  In order to adequately finance its
anticipated growth, the Company will continue to seek to raise additional
capital from bank and non-bank sources in 1995.  The Company expects that it
will be able to obtain additional capital at competitive rates, but there can
be no assurance it will be able to do so.
