               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




Board of Directors
JLA Credit Corporation


            We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of JLA
Credit Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
1998, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings,
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

            We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

            In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of JLA
Credit Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

      In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
      accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
      financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting
      period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   o  Principles of Consolidation

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JLA and its
      wholly-owned subsidiaries; JLA Funding Corporation (JLA FC), JLA Funding
      Corporation II (JLA FC II), and JLA Funding Corporation III (JLA FC III),
      collectively, the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and
      balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

   o  Income Recognition

      Income on notes and loans receivable is accrued as earned based on the
      interest method. For direct financing leases, unearned income is amortized
      over the lease term to produce a constant rate of return on the net
      investment. Accrual of interest income is suspended when collection on an
      account becomes doubtful, generally after the account becomes 90 days
      delinquent. Income recognition is generally resumed when the account
      balance has been brought current.

   o  Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

      Based on a periodic review of the lease and loan portfolio, an allowance
      for doubtful receivables is maintained at a level that is estimated by the
      Company to be sufficient to reasonably provide for expected losses in the
      present portfolio of leases and notes and loans receivable.

   o  Repossessed Equipment Held for Resale

      Repossessed equipment held for resale is stated at the lower of cost or
      market and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

   o  Income Taxes

      The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with JLUS and
      files separate state and local income tax returns for all taxing
      authorities except California and New York. The Company continues to
      provide for all taxes on a stand-alone basis and settles all federal taxes
      currently payable through intercompany accounts, due from/due to
      affiliates, on the consolidated balance sheets.

      Deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences between the tax
      basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities, computed at
      current tax rates. Any future change in those rates would result in an
      adjustment to the recorded balance of deferred taxes. The Company reviews
      the realization of the deferred tax asset to determine if a reserve is
      necessary.

   o  Interest Rate Swap Agreements

      Interest rate swap agreements are entered into as a means of managing
      interest rate risk. Net settlements are accrued over the term of the swap
      agreements as an adjustment to interest expense. Certain interest rate
      swap agreements were terminated in 1998 (see Note J) and the remaining
      interest rate swap agreemnts were terminated upon the sale of the Company
      (see Note M).

   o  Cash and Cash Equivalents

      Cash and cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments
      with original maturities of three months or less that are readily
      convertible into cash. At December 31, 1998, the Company had $18.2 million
      funds restricted as to use under terms of the securitizations.

   o  Defined Contribution Plan

      The Company provides a defined contribution plan (the "Plan") under
      section 401k of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan covers all employees
      that have completed at least six months of service and are at least 21
      years of age. The Company has a discretionary employer contribution which
      historically has been equal to a dollar for dollar match of the employees
      contribution up to 5% of the employees compensation. The Company match is
      vested over a period of seven years at which time the matched amount is
      fully vested. All employee contributions and earnings are fully vested at
      the time of contribution or earning. All investment selections are made
      directly by the employees. The Company's contribution for the year was
      $159,155.

   The Company's leasing transactions with customers located in California
   represent approximately 47 percent of the minimum lease balance. There was no
   other geographical concentration greater than 10 percent. In addition, no
   customer balance exceeded 10 percent of the minimum lease balance. When
   entering into a leasing transaction, the Company generally does not require
   any additional collateral other than the security interest in the property
   leased. The contract receivables are pledged as collateral on the securitized
   borrowings and the borrowings from banks.

NOTE C - NET INVESTMENT IN DIRECT FINANCING LEASES (continued)

   The net investment in nonearning receivables, which are included in the
   Company's direct financing lease portfolio, were approximately $5 million.

   In 1997, the Company entered into an agreement (the Agreement) whereby it
   obtained the right to issue up to $75 million principal balance of direct
   financing leases through JLA FC II. During the year the Company securitized
   $48.3 million principal balance of direct financing leases through JLA FC II
   and received proceeds of $46.2 million. The transaction was accounted for as 
   a collateralized borrowing, accordingly, the principal balance of securitized
   leases remains on the Company's balance sheet.

   In March 1998, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement")
   whereby it obtained the investor commitments to issue up to $125,000,000 of
   notes payable by securitizing the principal balance of financing contracts
   through JLA Funding Corporation III ("JLA FC III"), a special-purpose
   subsidiary. During 1998, the Company securitized $84,591,032 principal
   balance of financing contracts through JLA FC III and received proceeds from
   the securitization of these contracts of $80,385,460. A cash collateral
   reserve account equal to 1% of the contract receivables is also maintained
   with the Trustee. The Note Issuance Period under the Agreement terminated
   January 16, 1999, with no additional note issuances. The transaction was
   accounted for as a collateralized borrowing; accordingly, the principal
   balance of the securitized contracts remained on the Company's balance sheet.

   The proceeds received in connection with the Agreements consisted of notes
   payable to various domestic and foreign investors. These notes are expected
   to be paid of as the Company receives aggregate payments on the securitized
   contract receivables. The contract receivables collateralize the notes, and
   other creditors of JLA would be subordinate to the note holders with respect
   to the securitized receivables. The timing and amount of the repayment of the
   notes are dependent upon the ultimate collection of the securitized lease
   receivables.


NOTE D - ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLES

   The table below shows the activity in allowance for doubtful receivables for
the year.


     Balance at beginning of year               $     5,030,078
     Charged to operations, net                       3,268,935
     Amount written off                              (2,685,320)

                                                 ==============

   The Company provides for both a general reserve and a specific reserve. A
   specific reserve is provided if management believes it is probable that a
   loss will be sustained on a specific account and that the loss can be
   reasonably estimated. The Company's assessment of the future value of
   collateral is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that
   may be susceptible to significant change.

NOTE E - BORROWINGS FROM BANKS

   The interest rates on the borrowings from banks ranged from 5.41% to 8.35%,
   and the weighted average interest rate, before considering any interest rate 
   swap agreements was 7.26%. The borrowings were paid off in full in February
   1999, with proceeds from borrowings obtained by the purchaser (see Note M).



NOTE F - ASSET BACKED BORROWINGS

   The interest rates on the asset backed borrowings range from 5.91% to 7.0%,
   and the weighted average interest rate was 6.59%.

NOTE G - DUE TO PARENT

   The Company has amounts outstanding to the Parent in the form of revolving
   advances and a note payable. The amounts borrowed are used for working
   capital. At December 31, 1998, the outstanding balances of the revolving
   advances and the note payable were $689,701 and $11,221,966, respectively.
   The note bears interest at LIBOR plus .75% (6.6% at December 31, 1998). The
   entire outstanding amount was repaid subsequent to year-end as a result of
   the sale of the Company (see note N). The total interest expense on the notes
   was $1,678,505.

                                                ===============

   The provision for income tax differs from the federal statutory income tax
   rate of 35 percent principally due to state income taxes.

   Net deferred tax assets, which are included in other assets, approximate
   $3,153,000 and primarily relate to the allowance for doubtful receivables.

   The Company has historically filed a consolidated federal tax return with its
   parent. Cumulative amounts due to the parent for income taxes, net of the
   deferred tax assets, were settled in connection with the sale of the Company
   (see note M) for $3.5 million.


NOTE I - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using
   available market information and valuation methodologies, as described below.
   Changes in these assumptions or estimation methods may significantly affect
   the estimated fair values. Accordingly, management provides no assurance that
   the estimates presented herein would necessarily be realized in an immediate
   sale or settlement of the instruments.

   Book values of cash equivalents and other current amounts receivable and
   payable approximate fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments.

   The Company generally borrows funds from banks through three to six months
   revolving lines of credits. The estimated fair values of debts approximate
   carrying cost due to the short maturity.

   The securitized borrowings reflect current fair value as the borrowing rate
   approximates current market conditions. The rates are covered by short-term
   swap arrangements which assist the rates to approximate current conditions.

NOTE J - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   In November 1998, the Company transferred all of its rights and obligations
   to certain Residual Value Position Pool Agreements to the Parent. The total
   value transferred was $8,175,267 for which the Company received a reduction
   in the amount due to Parent.

   The Parent was the guarantor of the Company's interest rate swap agreements.
   During the year, the Company was forced to terminate certain swap agreements
   due to the financial condition of the Parent. The applicable termination fee
   of approximately $1,600,000 was paid and the cost was borne by the Parent on
   behalf of the Company.


NOTE K - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   The Company rents the office facilities for all office locations.

   Rental expense for the year ended was approximately $385,858.

NOTE L - YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

   The Year 2000 issue relates to limitations in computer systems and
   applications that may prevent proper recognition of the Year 2000. The

                    JLA CREDIT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31,1997 AND 1996
1. ORGANIZATION:

JLA Credit Corporation (JLA) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August
27,1985, and engaged principally in funding direct financing leases, loan
originations and participations as a creditor. Effective January 1, 1992, JLA
became a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Leasing (USA), Inc. (JLUS). JLA's
former shareholder made contributions of all of JLA's outstanding common stock
to JLUS in exchange for newly issued common stock of JLUS.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Use of Estimates

In preparing the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amount of reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements.
The same is true of revenues and expenses reported for the period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JLA and its wholly
owned subsidiaries, JLA Funding Corporation and JLA Funding Corporation II
(collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Income Recognition

Income on notes and loans receivable is accrued as earned based on the interest
method. For direct financing leases, unearned income is amortized over the lease
term to produce a constant rate of return on the net investment. Accrual of
interest income is suspended when collection on an account becomes doubtful,
generally after the account becomes 90 days delinquent. Income recognition is
generally resumed when the account balance has been brought current.

Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

Based on a periodic review of the lease and loan portfolio, an allowance for
doubtful receivables is maintained at a level that is estimated by the Company
to be necessary to provide for expected losses in the present portfolio of
leases, notes and loans receivable.



<PAGE>
                                      -2-

Repossessed Equipment Held for Resale

Repossessed equipment held for resale is stated at the lower of cost or market
and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with JLUS and files
separate state and local income tax returns for all taxing authorities except
California and New York. The Company continues to provide for all taxes on a
stand-alone basis and settles all federal taxes currently payable through
intercompany accounts, due from/due to affiliates, on the consolidated balance
sheets.

Deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences between the tax basis and
financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities, computed at current tax
rates. Any future change in those rates would result in an adjustment to the
recorded balance of deferred taxes. The Company reviews the realization of the
deferred tax asset to determine if a valuation allowance is necessary.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Interest rate swap agreements are entered into as a means of managing interest
rate risk. Net settlements are accrued over the term of the swap agreements as
an adjustment to interest expense.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into
cash.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to 1996 financial statements to conform
with the current year's presentation.

3. NET INVESTMENT IN DIRECT FINANCING LEASES:

Leases, which are classified as direct financing leases as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, consist of the following:

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the types of equipment financed consist of the
following:

                                               1997    1996

The Company's leasing transactions with customers located in California and New
York represent approximately 49 percent and 9 percent of the minimum lease
receivable balance as of December 31, 1997, and 46 percent and 11 percent as of
December 31, 1996. There was no other geographical concentration greater than 10
percent. In addition, there was no customer with a balance greater than 10
percent of the minimum lease receivable balance. When entering into a leasing
transaction, the Company generally does not require any additional collateral
other than the security interest in the property leased or, in certain cases,
personal guarantees.

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, net investment in nonearning assets, which were
included in the Company's direct financing lease portfolio, were approximately
$4.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

1994 Securitization

In July 1994, the Company securitized $24,084,000 principal balance of direct
financing leases and loans receivable (the Receivables) through JLA Funding
Corporation, a special-purpose subsidiary. The Company received proceeds of
$20,069,000 and retained subordinated certificates receivable in the amount of
$3,823,000. The transaction was accounted for as a sale; accordingly, the
Receivables were removed from the Company's balance sheets. The income statement
impact was nominal.

                                      -4-


Upon closing, the Company established a cash collateral account as required by
the agreement and recorded an excess servicing fee receivable. At December 31,
1996, the cash collateral account and excess servicing fee receivable were
$201,000 and $77,000, respectively.

The Company continued to service the Receivables and receive a fee in accordance
with the servicing agreement. Servicing fees recognized during 1997 and 1996
were $24,000 and $123,000, respectively, and are included in other income on the
consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings. At December 31,
1996, the outstanding balance of the Receivables was $3,089,000.

In August 1997, the Company exercised a cleanup call option whereby it acquired
the remaining principal balance of the Receivables (on the 1994 securitization)
and extinguished the respective liabilities associated with the original sale of
the Receivables. The outcome of the exercise of the clean-up call was to
recognize previously deferred income in the amount of $290,000. This amount is
included in other income. At the time of the cleanup call, the outstanding
balance of the Receivables in the amount of $1,311,000 was recorded by the
Company.

1997 Securitization

In September 1997, the Company entered into an agreement (the Agreement) whereby
it obtained the investor commitments to securitize up to $75,000,000 principal
balance of direct financing leases through JLA Funding Corporation II (JLA FC
II), a special-purpose subsidiary. During 1997, the Company securitized
$35,115,673 principal balance of direct financing leases through JLA FC II,
received proceeds of $32,995,978 and contributed equity in the amount of
$2,119,695. In addition, the Company contributed additional cash collateral
equaling 1 percent of total collateral. As of December 31, 1997, the balance of
the cash collateral account was $351,157. As of December 31, 1997, net
investment in securitized direct financing leases, including deferred initial
direct costs, was $33,958,952. The transaction was accounted for as a
collateralized borrowing; accordingly, the principal balance of securitized
leases remained on the Company's balance sheet.

The proceeds received in connection with the Agreement consisted of notes
payable to various domestic and foreign investors. These notes are expected to
be paid off as the Company receives aggregate payments of the securitized lease
receivables. The lease receivables collateralize the notes, and other creditors
of JLA would be subordinate to the note holders with respect to the securitized
receivables. The timing and the amount of the repayment of the notes are
dependent upon the ultimate collection of the securitized lease receivables. The
interest rate on the notes is tied to the one-month LIBOR rate, and as of
December 31, 1997, for Class A senior securities was 6.27 percent and for Class
B subordinated securities was 6.61 percent. The weighted average interest rates
for 1997 were 6.03 percent for Class A securities and 6.45 percent for Class B
securities. The notes were subject to an interest rate cap agreement at 7.5
percent until March 1998, when the cap was terminated and replaced with an
interest rate swap agreement. The interest rate swap agreement calls for
interest to be paid on the Class A securities at 6.34 percent and on the Class B
securities at 7 percent.

At December 31,1994, the Company had a note receivable of $52.3 million from a
partnership that owned land on which the partnership intended to further develop
a real estate project. The note was secured by the land and guaranteed by Japan
Leasing Corporation (JLC), the Company's ultimate parent.

On May 1, 1995, the Company foreclosed on the property and recorded the land as
held for sale at an estimated fair value of $15 million. The difference between
the book value of the note receivable at that time and the fair value of the
land was settled by transferring cash from JLC under the guarantee. In March
1997, the Company disposed of the property in a sale transaction. The difference
between the carrying value of the property and proceeds received from the sale
as adjusted for closing costs resulted in a net gain on sale in the amount of
$2,027,236. This gain was recorded in other income.

5. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLES:

The table below shows the activity in allowance for doubtful receivables during
1997 and 1996:

The Company provides for both a general reserve and a specific reserve. A
specific reserve is provided if management believes it is probable that a loss
will be sustained and that the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company's
assessment of the future value of collateral is inherently subjective, as it
requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

6. BORROWINGS FROM BANKS:

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the interest rates on the borrowings from banks
ranged from 6.25 percent to 7.21 percent and 6.0 percent to 6.4 percent,
respectively, and the weighted average interest rates, before considering any
interest rate swap agreements, were 6.47 percent for 1997 and 6.07 percent for
1996.

The repayment schedule for the next five years and thereafter for borrowings
from banks as of December 31, 1997, is as follows:

               Year Ending
               December 31

The Company has developed relationships with several domestic branch operations
of foreign owned banks. These relationships have enabled the Company to extend
credit facilities, generally for one year, as they become due. In management's
opinion, debt scheduled for repayment in 1998 will be extended, as appropriate,
to meet the Company's cash flow requirements for 1998, although no formal
agreements have been arranged in anticipation of these extensions. In addition,
the Company through an affiliate has the ability to refinance the current
portion of the debt as it becomes due.

7. INTEREST RATE INSTRUMENTS:

The Company enters into interest rate swap and cap agreements to reduce the
impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate debt. The swap
agreements are contracts to exchange floating rate for fixed interest payments
periodically without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The
counterparties to these instruments are major financial institutions. The
notional amounts of interest rate agreements are used to measure the interest to
be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss.
The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and
is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the income statement. The
related accrued receivable or payable is included in other assets or
liabilities.

At December 31,1997 and 1996, the Company had $140 million and $110 million of
aggregate notional principal amounts outstanding, respectively, for the purpose
of converting floating rate debt to fixed rate debt.

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the agreements effectively changed the interest
rate exposure on $140 million and $110 million of floating rate borrowing to
fixed rates ranging from 5.18 percent to 6.38 percent due through 1997 and from
5.23 percent to 8.37 percent due through 1996, and the weighted average interest
rates were 5.98 percent and 5.80 percent, respectively.

Interest rate caps are used to lock in a maximum rate if rates rise, but enable
the Company to otherwise pay lower market rates. The Company had interest rate
caps in place protecting $35 million and $30 million of bank borrowings at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The cap rates ranged between 5.5
percent and 6.5 percent on the underlying LIBOR. The cost of interest rate caps
is amortized to interest expense over the life of the caps. The unamortized cost
of the interest rate caps is included in other assets.

8. INCOME TAXES:

The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1997
and 1996, consists of the following:

                                                        1997        1996

The provision for income tax for 1997 and 1996 differs from the federal
statutory income tax rate principally due to state income taxes.

The components of the net deferred income tax assets at December 31, 1997 and
1996, are as follows: 

                                                      1997           1996

            Gross deferred tax liabilities                  -       (81,444)

                        Net deferred tax assets    $3,098,432    $2,281,209
                                                   ==========    ==========

Deferred tax assets mainly relate to allowance for doubtful receivables; at
December 31, 1996, deferred tax liabilities mainly relate to depreciation of
fixed assets. No other significant deferred tax assets or liabilities existed at
December 31, 1997 and 1996. Management believes that the realization of the net
deferred tax asset is reasonably assured. The net deferred tax assets are
included in other assets.

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using
available market information and valuation methodologies, as described below.
Changes in these assumptions or estimation methods may significantly affect the
estimated fair values. Accordingly, management provides no assurance that the
estimates presented herein would necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or
settlement of the instruments.

Book values of cash equivalents and other assets and liabilities approximate
fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments.

The estimated fair value of fixed rate loans is based on discounted future cash
flows using current rates for similar instruments having comparable credit risk
and maturity dates.

The Company generally borrows funds from banks through three to six months
revolving lines of credit. The estimated fair values of debts approximate fair
value due to the short maturity.

Interest rate swap agreements were valued by discounting future cash flows the
Company would receive (pay) to reverse the effect of the agreements, taking into
consideration current interest rates adjusted for risks and maturity.
