              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1)       In the opinion of management, when read in conjunction with the
         audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended August
         31, 1995 and 1994 (as restated--see Note 5 below), the accompanying
         unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of
         the information necessary to present fairly the financial position of
         Mego Financial Corp.  ("Mego") and Subsidiaries (the "Company") at
         November 30, 1995 and the results of its operations and cash flows for
         the three months ended November 30, 1994 (as restated--see note 5
         below) and 1995.

         All significant intercompany accounts between Mego and its
         subsidiaries have been eliminated.

2)       The Company provides a provision for cancellation.  A summary is as
         follows (in thousands):

3)       Earnings (loss) per common share are based on the Net income (loss)
         applicable to common stock for each period divided by the weighted
         average number of common shares and common share equivalents
         outstanding during the period.  Earnings per common share assuming
         full dilution are computed by dividing Net income applicable to common
         stock by the weighted average number of common shares plus shares
         issuable on the exercise of outstanding warrants and options.  In loss
         periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect
         would be antidilutive.

4)       The results for the three months ended November 30, 1995 are not
         necessarily indicative of the actual results for the year ending
         August 31, 1996.

5)       On November 10, 1995, the Company announced that it had determined, in
         consultation with its independent auditors, that certain adjustments
         were required to be made to the Company's previously issued financial
         statements, including certain financial statements reported on by such
         independent auditors.  Adjustments relate primarily to (i) the
         Company's method of computing deferred selling costs for retail lots,
         (ii) certain estimates and assumptions previously utilized by the
         Company to compute the present value of the income stream to be
         recovered over the estimated life of notes receivable sold by the
         Company, (iii) its method of computing the Provisions for
         cancellation, (iv) the restatement of certain Accounts relating to
         assets acquired by the Company in 1991, (v) its method of accounting
         for contributions in aid of construction received from customers of
         Central Nevada Utilities Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, (vi)
         the reinstatement of the carrying value of certain art inventory, and
         (vii) its method of accounting for organizational costs relating to
         its subsidiary, Mego Mortgage Corporation.  None of such adjustments
         affect the cash position of the Company. As a result of such 
         adjustments, the Company has restated its previously issued financial 
         statements for its fiscal years 1994 and 1993.  Such adjustments also 
         affect the Company's previously issued financial statements for the 
         first three quarters of fiscal 1995.

         The aggregate effect of the adjustments for the three month period
         ended November 30, 1994, after provision for income taxes, was to
         decrease Net income by $1.81 million, from Net income of $1.31 million
         to a Net loss of $.50 million.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended November 30, 1995 Compared to the Three Months Ended
November 30, 1994 (as restated - see note 5).

GENERAL

         Mego Mortgage Corporation ("MMC")

         MMC originated $10,928,000 of Title I Loans during the three months
ended November 30, 1994 compared to $33,678,000 of Title I Loans during the
three months ended November 30, 1995, an increase of 308.18%.

         MMC sold $10,854,000 of Title I Loans during the three months ended
November 30, 1994 recognizing a gain on sale of Loans of $1,026,000.  MMC sold
$35,026,000 of Title I Loans during the three months ended November 30, 1995,
recognizing a gain on sale of loans of $5,965,000.  A weighted average discount
rate of 12% per annum was used in the determination of the gain on sale for the
three months ended November 30, 1994 and 1995.

         Interest income increased from $296,000 during the three months ended
November 30, 1994 to $331,000 during the three months ended November 30, 1995,
an increase of 11.82%.  The increase was primarily the result of the increase
in the size of the portfolio of loans held for sale.

         Loan servicing revenue increased from zero during the three months
ended November 30, 1994 to $891,000 during the three months ended November 30,
1995.  The increase was primarily the result of the sale of Title I Loans, with
the right to service the loans being retained by MMC.

         Total revenues increased from $1,322,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1994 to $7,187,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1995,
an increase of 443.65%.

         Total costs and expenses increased from $1,444,000 for the three
months ended November 30, 1994 to $3,342,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1995, an increase of 131.44%.  This increase resulted primarily
from an increase in general and administrative expenses from $1,090,000 to
$2,192,000, an increase of 101.10%; an increase in provision for credit losses
from $107,000 to $297,000, an increase of 177.57%; an increase in interest
expense from $115,000 to $240,000, an increase of 108.70%; and an increase in
depreciation and amortization expense from $71,000 to $101,000, an increase of
42.25%.  These increases are primarily due to the larger volume of MMC's
business.

         As a result, Net income (loss) of MMC increased from a Net loss of
$122,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1994 to Net income of
$2,307,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1995.

         Preferred Equities Corporation ("PEC")

         Timeshare interest and land sales, net, increased from $11,048,000 for
the three months ended November 30, 1994 to $11,793,000 for the three months
ended November 30, 1995, an increase of 6.74%.  Gross sales of timeshare
interests increased from $5,999,000 to $8,694,000, an increase of 44.03%.  Net
sales of timeshare interests increased from $4,660,000 to $6,712,000, an
increase of 44.03%.  The Provision for cancellation represented 22.32% and
22.80% of gross sales of timeshare interests for the three months ended
November 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  Gross sales of land decreased from
$7,660,000 to $6,235,000, a decrease of 12.37%.  Net sales of land decreased
from $6,388,000 to $5,081,000, a decrease of 20.46%.  The Provision for
cancellation represented 16.61% and 18.51% of gross sales of land for the three
months ended November 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

         Gain on sale of PEC's receivables decreased from $345,000 for the
three months ended November 30, 1994 to $248,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1995, a decrease of 28.12%.  This decrease resulted from sales of
receivables decreasing from $8,781,000 during the three months ended November
30, 1994 to $6,666,000 during the three months ended November 30, 1995, a
decrease of 24.09%.  From time to time, PEC sells receivables in order to
reduce the outstanding balances under its lines of credit.

         PEC's Interest income decreased from $1,623,000 for the three months
ended November 30, 1994 to $1,492,000 for the three months ended November 30,
1995, a decrease of 8.07%.  This decrease resulted primarily from a reduction
in the average balance of PEC's portfolio of receivables.

         Other revenues increased from $137,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1994 to $593,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1995, an
increase of 332.85%.

         As a result of the foregoing, total revenues of PEC increased from
$13,982,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1994 to $14,892,000 for the
three months ended November 30, 1995, an increase of 6.51%.

         Total costs and expenses increased from $10,576,000 for the three
months ended November 30, 1994 to $13,563,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1995, an increase of 28.24%.  This increase resulted primarily
from an increase in Commissions and selling expenses from $5,024,000 to
$7,326,000, an increase of 45.82%, and an increase in General and
administrative costs from $2,028,000 to $2,477,000, an increase of 22.14%.  As
a percentage of gross sales of timeshare interests and land Commissions and
selling expenses relating thereto increased from 36.78% for the three months
ended November 30, 1994 to





                                       11

49.07% for the three months ended November 30, 1995, and Costs of sales
relating thereto increased from 9.87% for the three months ended November 30,
1994 to 10.11% for the three months ended August 31, 1995.

         As a result of the foregoing, PEC's Net income decreased from
$2,281,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1994 to $881,000 for the
three months ended November 30, 1995, a decrease of 61.38%.  The decrease is
largely due to the increase of Commission and selling expense with respect to
sales of timeshare interests.

         COMPANY

         Income Statement Data.  Operating income from subsidiaries increased
from $2,159,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1994 to $3,188,000 for
the three months ended November 30, 1995, an increase of 47.66%.  The increase
was due to the increased income of MMC which was partially offset by the
decrease in income of PEC.

         Payments to Assignors, which relate to the acquisition of PEC,
decreased from $2,536,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1994 to zero
for the three months ended November 30, 1995, since accrual of amounts payable
to the Assignors ended on January 31, 1995.

         Total expenses increased from $14,838,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1994 to $17,793,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1995,
an increase of 19.91%.  This increase is primarily the result of an increase in
General and administrative expenses from $3,255,000 to $5,159,000, an increase
of 58.49%, and an increase in Commission and selling expenses from $5,085,000
to $7,838,000, and increase of 54.14%.  The increase in General and
administrative expenses is primarily a result of the increased volume of the
business of MMC.

         Income before income taxes increased from $557,000 for the three
months ended November 30, 1994 to $4,470,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1995, an increase of 702.51%.

         Income taxes increased from $1,052,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1994 to $1,672,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1995.

         As a result of the foregoing, Net income (loss) increased from a loss
of $495,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1994 to Net income of
$2,798,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1995.

LIQUIDITY

         The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.36 million at November
30, 1995 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $7.34 million at August 31,
1995.

         The Company's principal cash requirements relate to loan originations,
the acquisition of timeshare properties and land and the payment of Commissions
and selling expenses in connection with timeshare and land sales.  MMC and PEC
each requires continued access to sources of debt financing and sales in the
secondary market of loans and receivables, respectively.

         MMC's cash requirements arise from loan originations, payments of
operating and interest expenses and deposits to reserve accounts related to
loan sale transactions.  Loan originations and acquisitions are initially
funded principally through MMC's $20.0 million warehouse line of credit with a
bank pending the sale of loans in the secondary market.  Substantially all of
the loans originated by MMC are sold.  Net cash used in MMC's operating
activities for the quarters ended November 30, 1994 and 1995 was approximately
$1.15 million and $2.20 million, respectively.  This use was funded primarily
from the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of loans in the secondary
market totaling approximately $10.85 million and $34.97 million for the
quarters ended November 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  The loan sale
transactions required the subordination of certain cash flows payable to MMC to
the payment of scheduled principal and interest due to the loan purchasers.  In
connection with certain of such sale transactions, a portion of amounts payable
to MMC from the excess interest spread is required to be maintained in a
reserve account to the extent of the subordination requirements.  The
subordination requirements generally provide that the excess interest spread is
payable to the reserve account until a specified percentage of the principal
balances of the sold loans is accumulated therein.

         Excess interest spread payable to MMC is subject to being utilized
first to replenish cash paid from the reserve account to fund shortfalls in
collections of interest from borrowers who default on the payments on the loans
until MMC's deposits into the reserve account equal the specified percentage.
The excess interest required to be deposited and maintained in the respective
reserve accounts is not available to support the cash flow requirements of MMC.
At November 30, 1995, the amounts on deposit in such reserve accounts totaled
$2.83 million.

         Adequate credit facilities and other sources of funding, including the
ability of MMC to sell loans in the secondary market, are essential for the
continuation of MMC's loan origination operations.  At November 30, 1995, MMC
had a $20.0 million warehouse line of credit for the financing of loan
originations which expires in August 1996.  At November 30, 1995, $.56 million
was outstanding under such line of credit and $19.44 million was available.
Such line of credit bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.0% per year and is
secured by loans prior to sale.  The agreement with the lender requires MMC to
maintain





                                       13
<PAGE>   15

a minimum tangible net worth of $7.5 million, and a minimum level of
profitability of at least $500,000 per six month period.

         In April 1995, MMC entered into an agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") to sell Title I Loans to a financial institution (the "Purchaser")
with MMC retaining the right to service the loans.  At August 31, 1995, an
aggregate of approximately $56.9 million in principal amount of loans had been
sold pursuant to the agreement for an amount equal to 98.5% of their remaining
principal balances, and an additional $34.97 million in principal amount of
loans were sold to the Purchaser during the three months ended November 30,
1995.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser is entitled to receive
interest at a variable rate equal to the sum of 200 basis points (2.0%) and the
one-month LIBOR rate as in effect from time to time.  MMC retained the right to
receive the Excess Interest.  The Purchase Agreement requires MMC to establish
and maintain a reserve account equal to 2.5% of the proceeds received by MMC
from the sale of loans pursuant to the Agreement plus the Excess Interest
received by MMC less its servicing fee to fund shortfalls in collections from
borrowers who default in the payment of principal or interest.

         PEC's cash requirements arise from the acquisition of timeshare
properties and land, payments of operating expenses, payments of principal and
interest on debt obligations, and payments of commissions and selling expenses
in connection with the sale of timeshare interests and land.  Commissions and
selling expenses payable by PEC in connection with sales of timeshare interests
and land typically exceed the down payments received at the time of sale, as a
result of which PEC generates a cash shortfall.  This cash shortfall and PEC's
other cash requirements are funded primarily through sales of receivables,
PEC's lines of credit in the aggregate amount of $65.0 million and cash flows
from operations.

         At November 30, 1995, PEC had arrangements with three institutional
lenders for the financing of receivables in connection with sales of timeshare
interests and land and the acquisition of timeshare properties and land, which
provide for lines of credit of up to an aggregate of $65.0 million.  Such lines
of credit are secured by timeshare and land receivables and property.  At
November 30, 1995, an aggregate of $43.63 million was outstanding under such
lines of credit, and $21.37 million was available for borrowing.  At November
30, 1995, PEC had unpledged timeshare and land receivables in the amount of
approximately $10.53 million, substantially all of which was available for
pledging under existing lines of credit, subject to certain loan agreement
criteria.  Under the terms of such lines of credit, PEC may borrow up to 75.0%
of the balances of the timeshare and land receivables tendered for pledging.
One of such lines of credit in the amount of $50.0 million bears interest at
the prime rate plus 2 1/4% and expires in September 1996, at which time it
converts to a term loan maturing in September 2003.  The second line of credit
in the amount of $7.5 million bears interest at the prime rate plus 2.5% and
expires in September 1996, at which time it converts to a term loan maturing in
June 1999.  The third line of credit in the amount of $7.5 million bears
interest at the prime rate plus 2.5% and expires in June 1996, at which time it
converts to a term loan maturing in June 2000.

         At November 30, 1994 and 1995, PEC was contingently liable to replace
or repurchase notes receivable sold with recourse totaling $56.62 million and
$71.58 million, respectively, in the event they become delinquent.  PEC sells
notes receivable subject to recourse provisions contained in each agreement.
These obligations are guaranteed by Mego Financial Corp.  PEC is obligated
under these agreements to replace or repurchase accounts that become over 90
days delinquent or otherwise subject to replacement or repurchase.  A liability
for future estimated contingency for notes receivable sold with recourse was
established at the time of each sale based upon the Company's analysis of all
probable losses resulting from PEC's recourse obligations under each agreement
of sale.  The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of this liability.
These reviews take into consideration changes in the nature and level of the
portfolio, current and future economic conditions which may affect the
obligors' ability to pay, collateral values and overall portfolio quality.  PEC
is obligated under certain of these agreements for the sale of notes receivable
to maintain minimum net worth requirements.

         In August 1993, the Company sold 300,000 shares of its Series A 12%
Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate of $3.0 million.  The Company
redeemed 100,000 shares of such Preferred Stock on September 1, 1995 and is
obligated to redeem the remaining 200,000 shares of such Preferred Stock on
August 31, 1996.

         During the quarters ended November 30, 1994 and 1995, the Company used
cash of $.22 million and of $6.59 million, respectively, in operating
activities.

         During the quarters ended November 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company
provided cash of $3.87 million and provided cash of $1.65 million,
respectively, in financing activities.

         During the quarters ended November 30, 1994 and 1995, the Company used
cash of $.39 million and $1.26 million, respectively, in investing activities,
which was substantially expended for the purchase of property and equipment.

         Capital expenditures during the quarters ended November 30, 1994 and
1995 were $5.58 million and $4.53 million, respectively, for the acquisition of
inventory and $.39 million

and $.92 million, respectively, for the purchase of property and equipment.
The Company anticipates that it will make additional capital expenditures in
1996 for the acquisition of inventory, renovation of future timeshare
inventory, refurbishment of present timeshare inventory, construction of
certain road improvements in Pahrump Valley, Nevada and the acquisition of
replacement equipment.  The Company believes that its capital requirements will
be met from cash balances, internally generated cash, existing lines of credit,
sales of receivables, and the modification, replacement or addition to its
lines of credit.


                                    PART II

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         Following the issuance of the Company's November 10, 1995 press
release, in which the Company announced that it had determined, in consultation
with its independent auditors, that certain adjustments were required to be
made to its previously issued financial statements, on November 13, 1995, an
action (the "Dunleavy Action") was filed in the United States District Court,
District of Nevada (Christopher Dunleavy v. Robert Nederlander, Jerome J.
Cohen, Herbert B. Hirsch, Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Mego Financial Corp., and
Deloitte & Touche LLP; Case No. CV-S-95-01082-LDG), as a purported class action
against the Company, certain of the Company's officers and directors and the
Company's independent auditors.  The complaint alleges, among other things,
that the defendants violated the federal securities laws by issuing financial
reports in 1994 and 1995, including certain financial statements certified by
the Company's independent auditors, that allegedly overstated the Company's
earnings.  The complaint also alleges that one of the director defendants
violated the federal securities laws by trading in the Company's Common Stock
while in the possession of material non-public information regarding the
Company's financial statements.  The named plaintiff in the Dunleavy Action
seeks to represent a class consisting of purchasers of the Company's Common
Stock between January 14, 1994 and November 9, 1995, and seeks damages in an
unspecified amount, costs, attorney's fees, and such other relief as the court
may deem just and proper.  The Company believes that it has substantial
defenses in the Dunleavy Action.

         On or about November 16, 1995, an action (the Peyser Action") was
filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, captioned
Alan Peyser v. Robert Nederlander, Jerome J. Cohen, Herbert B. Hirsch and Mego
Financial Corp., (No. CV-S-95-01112-LDG).  The complaint in the Peyser Action
names the Company and three of its officers and directors as defendants and
alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated the federal
securities laws by making statements and issuing certain financial reports in
1994 and 1995 that overstated the Company's earnings and business prospects.
The named plaintiff in the Peyser Action seeks to represent a class consisting
of purchasers of the Company's Common Stock between November 28, 1994 and
November 9, 1995.  The complaint in the Peyser Action seeks damages in an
unspecified amount, costs, attorney's fees and such other relief as the Court
may deem just and proper.  The Company believes that it has substantial
defenses in the Peyser action.
