1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

</TABLE>
Total revenues increased $2.7 million, or 14%, to $21.7 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 from the $19.0 million in the first quarter of the last
fiscal year. This revenue growth resulted, in part, from a $1.1 million, or
6.4%, increase in comparable store revenues (519 stores). The balance of the
increase came from stores which were opened or acquired after June 30, 1996, and
were therefore not open for both of the full periods compared. The number of
Company-owned stores increased by 47, or 8%, from 576 stores open at September
30, 1996, to 623 stores open at September 30, 1997. The increase in total check
cashing fees accounted for 62% of the total revenue increase. Check cashing
fees increased $1.7 million, or 12%, from the $13.4 million in the first quarter
of the last fiscal year to $15.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
This increase resulted from an 8% increase in the total number of checks cashed,
plus a 5% increase in the face amount of the average check.
Loan fees and interest increased $0.8 million, or 66%, as a result of an
increase in the number of stores offering the Company's loan products to 229
stores at September 30, 1997, as compared to 181 at September 30, 1996. Bill
payment services increased $0.2 million, or 47%, as a result of offering
additional new products, including prepaid local telephone service in certain
markets. Other fees decreased $0.3 million, or 24%, as a result of decreases in
food stamp distribution revenue and other miscellaneous product revenue.

Total store expenses increased $1.5 million, or 11%, to $15.5 million in the

fiscal year. Total store expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues,
decreasing to 71.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from 73.6% in the first
quarter of the last fiscal year, primarily as a result of the increase in
average revenues per store. Salaries and benefits expenses, occupancy costs,
and armored and security expenses increased primarily as a result of the
increased number of stores in operation. Returned checks, net of collections,
and cash shortages decreased as a percentage of revenues to 7.3% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 from 8.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
Loan losses increased $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, as
compared to the first quarter of the fiscal 1997, as a result of the increased
volume of loans made.

Region Expenses
Region expenses increased $0.3 million, or 16%, in the first quarter of fiscal
1998 over the first quarter of the last fiscal year, as a result of the addition
of region, loan operations, and operations support personnel. Region expenses
increased slightly as a percentage of revenues, from 9.3% in the first quarter
of the last fiscal year to 9.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Headquarters Expenses
Headquarters expenses increased $0.3 million, or 22%, in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 over the first quarter of the last fiscal year, principally as a
result of increased salaries and benefits expenses. Headquarters expenses
increased as a percentage of revenues from 6.4% in the first quarter of the last
fiscal year to 6.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

<PAGE>
Franchise Expenses
Franchise expenses remained relatively unchanged for the first quarter of fiscal
1998 as compared to the first quarter of the last fiscal year.
Other Depreciation and Amortization
Other depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million, or 31%, in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 from the first quarter of the last fiscal year,
principally due to increased amortization of intangibles (goodwill and non-
competition agreements) related to the 10 stores acquired during the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased 9% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 as compared to the first quarter of the last fiscal year. This
decrease was principally the result of a $0.7 million principal reduction of
debt during the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Income Taxes
A total of $0.4 million was provided for income taxes in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998, up from $0.2 million in the first quarter of the last fiscal year.
The provision for income taxes was calculated based on a statutory federal
income tax rate of 34%, plus a provision for state income taxes and non-
deductible goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Check Express, Inc. The
effective income tax rate was 39.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and
39.0% for the first quarter of the last fiscal year.
BALANCE SHEET VARIATIONS
Cash and cash equivalents, the money order principal payable, and the revolving
advances from the Money Order Supplier vary as a result of seasonal and day-to-
day requirements resulting from maintaining cash for the cashing of checks,
receipts of cash from the sale of money orders, loan volume, and remittances on
money orders sold. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, cash and cash
equivalents decreased $2.6 million, compared to an increase of $5.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Property and equipment and the excess purchase price over the fair value of net
assets acquired increased $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as a
result of the 7 stores acquired and the 5 stores opened during the three months
ended September 30, 1997, offset by related depreciation and amortization.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $1.9 million, primarily due
to the timing of fiscal year-end bonus payments and other salary-related
accruals.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company had net
cash provided by operating activities of $1.0 million and $1.1 million,
respectively.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company used $1.8
million and $1.1 million, respectively, for purchases of property and equipment
related principally to new store openings and remodeling existing stores.
Capital expenditures related to acquisitions amounted to $1.3 million and $3.8
million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended September 30,
1997 was $0.5 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 was $9.1 million.
10
<PAGE>
For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repaid $0.7 million
of Term Advances and notes payable and incurred revolving advances of only $0.2
million from the Money Order Supplier. For the three months ended September 30,
1996, the Company incurred $4.7 million revolving advances from the Money Order
Supplier and $4.0 million in net Term Advances from the Money Order Supplier.
Under the provisions of the Company's agreement with the Money Order Supplier
regarding advances for the acquisition and construction of additional locations
("Term Advances"), the repayment terms of each Term Advance call for the
principal amount to be paid in equal monthly installments on a 60-month
amortization through December 1998, at which time the remaining principal is
due. As of September 30, 1997, approximately $10.7 million of the Term Advances
commitment was available for acquisition and construction of additional
locations. Interest on the Term Advances accrues at the prime rate plus one
percent, which currently totals 9.5%.
The interest on revolving advances from the Money Order Supplier is based on a
per annum rate of 1.5% over the prime rate, which currently totals 10%. The
total amount of deferred money order remittances payable to the Money Order
Supplier may not exceed the Company's cash balances and cash equivalents
(including checks cashed by the Company that are being processed for payment).
The principal amount of the Company's outstanding 9.03% Senior Secured Notes is
due in five equal annual installments of $4 million each, beginning November 15,
1999. Interest payments are due semiannually, on each May 15 and November 15,
until maturity on November 15, 2003.
OPERATING TRENDS
Seasonality
The Company's business is seasonal because of the impact of cashing tax refund
checks and two other tax-related services--electronic tax filing and processing
applications for refund anticipation loans. In addition, results of operations
depend significantly upon the timing and amount of revenues and expenses
associated with the acquisition and addition of new stores.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Management believes the Company's results of operations are not dependent upon
the levels of inflation.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report may contain, and from time to time the Company or certain of its
representatives may make, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are generally
identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "expect," "estimate,"
"believe," "intend," and terms with similar meanings. Although the Company
believes that the current views and expectations reflected in these forward-
looking statements are reasonable, those views and expectations, and the related
statements, are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors,
many of which are not under the Company's control and may not even be
predictable. Those risks, uncertainties, and other factors could cause the
actual results to differ materially from these in the forward-looking
statements. Those risks, uncertainties, and factors include, but are not
limited to, many of the following matters described in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission: the
Company's relationships with the Money Order Supplier and the supplier of
MoneyGram services; governmental regulation of the check-cashing industry; theft
and employee errors; the availability of suitable locations, acquisition
opportunities, adequate financing, and experienced management employees to
implement the Company's growth strategy; the fragmentation of the check-cashing
industry and competition from various other sources, such as banks, savings and
loans, and other financial services entities, as well as retail businesses that
offer products and services offered by the Company; and customer demand and
response to products and services offered by the Company. The Company expressly
disclaims any obligations to release publicly any updates or revisions to these
forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its views or expectations.
