PRIME CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.

Subsequent events

On October 4, 1996 Prime Capital Corporation completed a private sale of
subordinated debentures and preferred stock to Banc One Capital
Corporation.  See Page 7 for the Management Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations for details of this
transaction.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

The financial results of 1995 and the first nine months of 1996 were
influenced by a number of economic and strategic factors including: (i)
changes in the size and the type of financing required by the marketplace,
(ii) a securitization totaling $56,725,781 completed in March 1995, (iii) a
securitization totaling $85,273,476 completed in January 1996.  Since
January 1996, Prime has been accumulating new activated financial contracts
for a securitization expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of
1996.

In June of this year, the Company established a $100 million financing
facility for a major east coast hospital network.  The financing facility,
a credit line to be funded in stages over the next four years with an
initial draw of approximately $20 million, will be used for medical network
development.

On October 4, 1996, Prime Capital Corporation completed a private sale of
$5 million principal amount of five year, 12.5% subordinated debentures and
$2.5 million of 9% preferred stock to Banc One Capital Corporation (BOCC),
a subsidiary of Bank One Corporation, Columbus, Ohio.  In addition, BOCC
has agreed to purchase up to an additional $2.5 million of Prime Capital's
five year, 12.5% subordinated debentures during the next two years. As part
of the transaction. BOCC also received warrants to purchase up to 12% of
Prime Capital's common stock, depending on the total amount of subordinated
debentures purchased by BOCC.  The additional capital will allow the
Company to implement its plan for growth.

Prime Capital's plan for growth is as follows:

1. Increase the volume of integrated delivery system financing for hospital
networks and related entities.  Enlist additional affiliations to promote
program use.  Develop related flow business within the developing hospital
networks.
2. Target medical equipment and software manufacturers to promote "high
touch" customer service and one day credit approvals.  Expand Company
infrastructure to quickly process and assess these transactions.
3. Expand origination capabilities through the selective hiring of
additional experienced sales and marketing professionals by each of the
Company's business development units.
4. Further refine asset securitization methodologies to lower the Company's
cost of funds and minimize exposure to interest rate risk.  Secure
additional warehouse capacity for added flexibility.

The Company has invested in increasing its infrastructure to expand its
back office transaction processing capability.  Since September 30, 1995,
the Company has hired addition staff to handle increased transaction volume
and has deepened its management team by hiring a Vice President-Corporate
Treasurer and a Senior Vice President of Operations. Both executives bring
significant experience from their prior positions at other leading
companies in the industry.

The Company has established increased lines of credit in 1996.  It
currently has available credit lines of $131.4 million compared to $51.4
million as of December 31, 1995.

The company has generated approximately $110 million in financial contracts
since the beginning of the year.  Of this amount, $18 million was
securitized in the January 1996 securitization, $28 million was sold
outright, and the remaining $64 million is warehoused for future
securitization.  The next securitization is anticipated to be completed in
the fourth quarter of 1996 and will total approximately $65 million.  The
securitization is expected to generate significant fee income for the
Company.  The proceeds from the securitization will be used to pay down
existing lines of credit which will significantly reduce interest expense
for the remainder of the year.

Revenue Trends

The Company conducts its business in a manner designed to conserve its
working capital and minimize its credit exposure.  The Company does not
purchase equipment until; (i) it has received a noncancelable lease or loan
from its customer, and (ii) it has determined that the lease or loan (a)
can be discounted with a bank or financial institution on a non-recourse
basis, or (b) meets the origination standards established for a securitized
pool.  The Company intends to continue to pursue a diversified strategy of
funding which will include; (i) periodically securitizing aggregated pools
of transactions, (ii) specific program financing agreements, (iii)
portfolio sales, and (iv) financing selected transactions on an individual
basis (i.e. non-pooled).

On March 16, 1995, the Company issued and sold equipment lease-backed pay-
through notes in an aggregate initial principal amount of $56,725,781.
Through this issuance the Company permanently financed certain assets and
liabilities carried on the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1994.
Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 77, these assets and liabilities were
removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain was recognized on the
Company's statement of operations in the first quarter of 1995.

On January 22, 1996, the Company issued and sold equipment lease-backed pay-
through notes in an aggregate initial principal amount of  $85,273,476.
Through this issuance of such Securitization notes, the Company permanently
financed certain assets and liabilities carried on the Company's balance
sheet as of December 31, 1995.  Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 77, these
assets and liabilities were removed from the balance sheet and the
resulting gain was recognized on the Company's statement of operations in
the first quarter of 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

Net Income (Loss)

The three months ended September 30, 1996 resulted in a net loss of
$984,308 compared to a net loss of $730,091 for the same quarter of 1995.
While neither period included a securitization, higher warehouse debt for
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 resulted in higher interest expense
and a greater loss for that period.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $1,877,266 as
compared to revenues of $1,009,031 for the same period last year.  The
increase was largely attributable to an increase in direct finance lease
income resulting from a greater amount of direct finance contracts held by
the Company for subsequent securitization compared to the same period last
year.

Expenses

Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $2,861,574
compared to expenses of $1,739,122 during the same period of 1995.  This
increase is mainly due to increased interest expense caused by carrying a
higher level of debt for the three month period of 1996 compared to the
same period in 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately
$208,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995
due mainly to expenses associated with increased personnel and other
expenses associated with processing an increased volume of financial
contracts.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

Net Income (Loss)

The nine months ended September 30, 1996 resulted in net income of
$2,403,745 or $ 0.54 per share compared to net income of $78,506 or $ 0.02
per share for the same period last year. The increase in net income
resulted mainly from the $85,273,476 securitization completed in January
1996 compared to the $56,725,781 securitization completed in March 1995 and
the initial $20.0 million draw on the $100 million financing facility
established in 1996 for a major hospital network.

Revenues

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $9,603,068
versus $6,335,206 for the same nine months of last year.  The increase was
largely attributable to the increase in fee income associated with the
January 1996 securitization compared to that recognized in the March 1995
securitization and the June 1996 draw on the hospital financing facility.
Also contributing to the increase was a greater amount of direct finance
lease income and rental income resulting from warehousing a greater amount
of financial contracts.

Expenses

Expenses for the first nine months of 1996 were $7,199,323 compared to
$6,256,700 during the same period of 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately
$394,000 in 1996 compared to the first nine months of 1995 due mainly to
the recognition of nonrecurring charges in 1995 related to the write off of
$537,000 of prepaid expenses and the establishment of a reserve for pending
tax audits of $418,000.  Offsetting the above were increased expenditures
in 1996 related to increases in personnel.

Interest expense increased approximately $1,330,000 in the first nine
months of 1996 compared to the same period of 1995 due mainly to increased
warehouse balance of activated financial contracts.

Financial Condition

The Company's financial condition will continue to be dependent upon
certain critical elements.  First, the Company must be able to obtain
recourse and nonrecourse financing to fund future acquisitions of lease and
loan contracts.  Second, the Company must originate a sufficient volume of
new business which is structured and priced in such a way that the Company
covers its costs and realizes profits from its originations. The Company
intends to utilize a combination of interim warehouse borrowing and long-
term funding methodologies to provide it with borrowing and funding
availability at competitive rates of interest.  The long-term funding
methodologies will include:  (i) the continued issuance of asset backed
securities; (ii) portfolio sales, (iii) program financings, and (iv) the
discounting of individual Financial Contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based upon the Company's estimates of volume of transactions, the Company
believes that existing cash balances, cash flows from its activities,
available warehouse and permanent non-recourse borrowing, and securitized
asset sales will be sufficient to meet its foreseeable financing needs.
