ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         As previously reported, on August 6, 1997, the Board of Directors of
the registrant, Mego Financial Corp. (the "Company"), unanimously approved a
tax-free distribution (the "Distribution") to the Company's shareholders of
record on August 27, 1997 (the "Record Date"), of all of the Company's 10
million shares of common stock of its then 81.3%-owned subsidiary, Mego Mortgage
Corporation ("Mego Mortgage").  The decision was made following receipt of a
favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service establishing the tax-free
status of the Distribution.

         The Distribution was consummated effective as of September 2, 1997 (the
"Distribution Date"), and resulted in the Company's shareholders of record on
the Record Date, receiving 0.476 shares of Mego Mortgage common stock for each
share of Mego Financial common stock owned on the Record Date.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS

(a)      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESSES ACQUIRED

         Not applicable.

(b)      PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements are filed with this report:

Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition     Page F-1
Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:
  Nine Months ended May 31, 1997                                       Page F-2 
  Year Ended August 31, 1996                                           Page F-3

         The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition
of the Company as of May 31, 1997 reflects the financial position of the Company
after giving effect to the Distribution of the stock of Mego Mortgage discussed
in Item 2 and assumes the Distribution took place on May 31, 1997.  The Pro
Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1996 and the nine months ended May 31, 1997 assume that the
Distribution occurred on September 1, 1995, and are based on the results of
operations of the Company for the year ended August 31, 1996 and the nine months
ended May 31, 1997.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by the Company based upon assumptions deemed proper by it.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented
herein are shown for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily
indicative of the future financial position or future results of operations of
the Company, or of the financial position or results of operations of the
Company that would have actually occurred had the transaction been in effect as
of the dates or for the periods presented.  In addition, it should be noted that
the Company's actual financial statements will reflect the Distribution only
from September 2, 1997, the Distribution Date.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and
related notes of the Company.  Certain reclassifications have been made to these
financial statements to conform to the current presentation and the historical
financial statements are subject to year end audit adjustments.

(c)      EXHIBITS

         None
