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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          Three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

          During the three months ended June 30, 1996, revenues from Installment
Contracts  Receivable decreased by $1,056,496 to $616,639 from $1,673,135 during
the three months ended June 30, 1995.  This  decrease  resulted from the reduced
size of the Company's portfolio of Installment  Contracts  Receivable during the
three  months  ended June 30, 1996 as compared  with the three months ended June
30, 1995. The Company has ceased to purchase  Installment  Contracts  Receivable
since December 1995.

          During the three months  ended June 30,  1996,  there were no viatical
revenues as compared to $575,078,  reflecting the maturity of 12 Policies during
the three months ended June 30, 1995. The cost of a Policy  includes the initial
purchase price,  insurance premiums,  and other direct expenditures,  if any, by
the Company in connection  with the purchase and  maintenance  of a Policy.  The
decrease  in policy  maturities  and net  viatical  revenues  resulted  from the
Company's  decision not to purchase new Policies after  September  1994, and the
sale in May and July 1995 of a total of 225  policies  for  approximately  $17.5
million to Viaticus, Inc.

          During  the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1996,  revenues  from the
Inventory  Assistance Program increased by $456,595 to $475,674,  reflecting the
financing of 3,359 cars,  from  $19,079,  reflecting  the  financing of 154 cars
financed,  during the three months ended June 30, 1995.  During the three months
ended June 30, 1996,  income from  operations of IAP was $43,488,  net of income
tax of  $26,237,  as compared to  operating  loss of $23,124,  net of income tax
benefit of $14,784 for the three  months ended June 30,  1995.  These  increases
reflect the growth and  development of the IAP program since it was initiated in
March 1995.

          General and  administrative  expenses  decreased  by  $1,111,331  to $
1,625,995  during the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $ 2,737,326  during
the three months ended June 30, 1995. This decrease  resulted from the effect of
the Company's  downsizing  during the third quarter of the Company's fiscal year
ended March 31, 1996 and was comprised  primarily of decreases of  approximately
$504,000 in salary  expense,  $316,000 in direct  program costs for  Installment
Contracts,   $117,000  in  travel  and  entertainment   expenses,   $126,000  in
amortization expenses and $116,000 in office expenses,  offset by an increase of
$288,000 in legal and professional fees.

         Provision  for  credit   losses  in   connection   with  the  Company's
Installment  Contracts  Receivable increased by $1,612,232 to $1,921,292 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996,  from $309,060 for the three months ended June
30,  1995.  In  addition,  chargeoffs  and  adjustments  for  credit  losses  in
connection  with the Company's  Installment  Contracts  Receivable  increased to
$2,895,812  during the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $97,443  during the
three months ended June 30,  1995.  These  increases  reflected  increased  loan
delinquencies  and  writeoffs in the  Company's  portfolio  of consumer  finance
receivables  and were a factor in the  Company's  decision  to  discontinue  its
purchases of Installment Contracts Receivable.

         Certain fixed assets related to the  Installment  Contracts  operation,
primarily computer software and hardware,  as well as leasehold  improvements on
office space have been recorded at net  realizable  value at June 30, 1996.  The
result of this valuation is a charge to income of $568,649 at June 30, 1996.

         During the period ended June 30, 1995 the Company sold certain policies
in the viatical  portfolio to Viaticus.  As a result,  the Company  recognized a
loss on sale of $570,377,  net of writeoff of intangible  assets and goodwill of
$1,844,259.

         For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss of
$3,818,153  or $0.82 per share as compared  with net earnings of  $2,367,691  or
$0.51 per share for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1995.  The change in net
earnings/loss  was attributable  primarily to the developments  described above,
coupled  with a  decrease  of  approximately  $3.85  million  in gain  on  early
extinguishment  of  debt,  reflecting  the  Company's  having  repurchased  at a
substantial discount certain of its outstanding debentures during the three

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


months ended June 30, 1995, which  repurchases were not matched during the three
months ended June 30, 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's  immediate viability as a going concern is dependent upon
the successful  closing of the Settlement,  the restructuring of its obligations
and asset base, and ultimately, a return to profitability.  The Company has been
operating at a loss and has incurred  operating  losses in the last three years.
Management  has initiated a plan to terminate  certain of its  operations and to
improve the profitability of the Company.  The Company has ceased since December
22, 1995 to purchase  Installment  Contracts  Receivable and since September 29,
1994 to purchase Policies.  During the third quarter of the year ended March 31,
1996 the Company significantly downsized its operations resulting in significant
reductions in salary expense.  See "-- Results of Operations." In June 1996, the
Company entered into a settlement of the Derivative Suit. In connection with the
closing of the  Settlement,  the  Company  will enter into  various  agreements,
providing for, among other things,  the disposition of certain  operations,  and
the replacement of current management. See " Note 2 - Discontinued Operations."

         In September 1996 the Company is obligated to make an interest  payment
on the remaining  outstanding  Debentures  of  approximately  $2.1 million.  The
outstanding principal amount of the Debentures,  which is due in September 1997,
will  become a  current  liability  in  September  1996,  and  without a capital
infusion,  refinancing  or amendment of the  Debentures,  such current debt will
render  the  Company  insolvent  on a  balance  sheet  basis.  See Note 4 to the
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  information  relating to the Company's
Debenture  obligations.   There  was  positive  cash  flow  from  operations  of
$1,394,446  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1996.  Although  the  Company
currently  has  sufficient   liquidity  to  meet  its  September  1996  interest
obligations under the Debentures,  intervening  operating losses may prevent the
Company from meeting its obligations to make interest payments, and in September
1997 to repay the principal under the Debentures as such payments become due. If
the Company is  unsuccessful in its efforts to obtain capital or to refinance or
amend the Debentures, it may be necessary for the Company to seek the protection
of the bankruptcy  laws or to undertake such other actions as may be appropriate
to preserve its business.

         During the three months ended June 30, 1996 the Company  funded a total
volume of 3,359 IAP purchases totalling approximately $16.2 million. At June 30,
1996 the Company's IAP receivable  portfolio  consisted of 1,102 loans totalling
approximately $5.1 million.

         The Company commenced its purchases of Installment Contracts Receivable
in May 1994 and ceased purchases of Installment Contracts Receivable on December
22, 1995.

         The Company's portfolio of Installment Contracts Receivable at June 30,
1996, excluding Installment Contracts Receivable with respect to which there has
been a repossession of the underlying  collateral,  a charge-off or the creation
of a reserve,  consisted of approximately 2,197 active loans purchased at a cost
of approximately $7.5 million.

         During the three  months  ended June 30,  1996 and June 30,  1995,  the
Company's viatical  settlement  business did not purchase any new Policies.  The
Company's  portfolio of unmatured  Policies at June 30, 1996 totaled 20 Policies
with a face value of approximately $ 2.1 million,  which Policies were purchased
at a cost of approximately $1.5 million.  Policies are recorded on the Company's
balance  sheet at cost,  with the  difference  between  the face value and costs
associated with the Policies recognized as net revenues as Policies mature.

         On May 8, 1995 and July 18,  1995,  ALRG and LB NM, Inc.  entered  into
Purchase and Sale Agreements (the "Agreements")  providing for the assignment of
certain Policies held by the Company to

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


Viaticus,  Inc.  ("Viaticus"),  a  subsidiary  of the CNA  Companies.  Under the
Agreements,  ALRG and LB NM  received  consideration  for  each of the  assigned
policies  when  Viaticus  received  an  acknowledgement  from the insurer of the
assignment of the policy. There were no outstanding amounts receivable under the
agreements at March 31, 1996,  and  accordingly no activity with respect to this
transaction occurred during the three months ended June 30, 1996.

         During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had cash flows
from operations of $ 1,394,446  compared to $13,342,246  during the three months
ended June 30, 1995.  Cash flows from  operations  during the three months ended
June 30, 1996 decreased primarily as a result of decreased maturity of Policies,
reflecting  the sale to  Viaticus in 1995,  which  decrease  was only  partially
offset by decreased cash used to purchase Installment Contracts Receivable.  For
the three  months  ended  June 30,  1995,  cash flow  from  operations  resulted
primarily  from proceeds from the assignment of viatical  insurance  policies to
Viaticus and from maturities of policies,  offset by funds used for the purchase
of Installment Contracts Receivable.

         The  Company  believes it has  sufficient  funds to finance its current
operations for at least the next 12 months but will require additional funds, if
not generated from operations,  to finance future growth,  the entering into new
businesses  and the  payment of  interest on and  repayment  of the  Debentures.
Auction  fundings until the closing of the Settlement are expected to be through
proceeds from  maturities of reserves and Securities  Available for Sale.  Since
the receipt of such funds is not completely predictable, the Company may need to
acquire  additional  financing to fund its  anticipated  operations  beyond such
period. Furthermore, in the event that a closing of the Settlement has not taken
place by the interest  payment date in September  1996,  the Company may require
additional  funds  to  continue  funding  its IAP  operations.  The  ability  of
management to return the Company to profitable operations and a capacity to meet
its  obligations  on  demand  is  uncertain.  There  can  be no  assurance  that
management  will be able to accomplish its objectives or that it will enable the
Company to become  profitable  on an ongoing  basis and to  continue  as a going
concern.

         During the three months ended June 30, 1996,  the Company had a deficit
in cash flows from  investing  activities  of $1,777 as compared with cash flows
from investing  activities of $2,832,936  during the three months ended June 30,
1995.  During the three months ended June 30, 1996, there was limited  investing
activity.  Funds not  immediately  required for operation of the  businesses are
invested in securities  available for sale. These  investments  consist of short
term money market instruments and the underlying cash,  immediately available to
the Company.

         At June 30, 1996 the Company had cash, cash  equivalents and securities
available for sale of  approximately  $4.7  million.  A portion of the Company's
available  funds may be applied to fund  acquisitions  of companies or assets of
companies  in  complementary  or  related  fields or  fields  in which  incoming
management  has  particular  expertise.  Although  the Company from time to time
engages in discussions and negotiations of potential acquisitions,  it currently
has no agreements or understandings with respect to any particular acquisition.

         During the three  months  ended June 30,  1996 the  Company had no cash
flows from  financing  activities  as  compared  with a cash flow  deficit  from
financing  activities  of $8.3  million for the three months ended June 30, 1995
resulting from the early extinguishment certain of the Company's Debentures.

         The Company's  primary sources of capital have been sales of equity and
debt securities,  including the Company's  initial equity offering in July 1990,
which resulted in net proceeds of  approximately  $7.6 million,  and a September
1991 sale of $55 million 9.5% Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  maturing on
September 19, 1997,  which resulted in net proceeds of $51.4  million.  At March
31, 1996, as a result of prepayments during fiscal 1996 without penalty of $28.9
million,  the outstanding  principal balance of Debentures was $22.1 million. No
additional  amounts were prepaid during the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
the  outstanding  principal  balance  remains  unchanged at June 30,  1996.  The
Debentures are convertible into Common Stock at

the rate of one  share of Common  Stock  per  $12.25  principal  amount.  Annual
interest  payments  of  approximately   $2.1  million  are  required  under  the
Debentures  outstanding as of June 30, 1996.  Annual interest payments were made
in accordance with the terms of the Indenture in September 1992,  1993, 1994 and
1995.  As of June 30,  1996,  the  Company had  accrued  $1,635,057  as interest
payable.

         At June 30,  1996  the  Company  had  approximately  $1,436,771  in net
operating  loss  carryforwards  available to offset  future  taxable  income for
federal and state income tax  purposes.  The  utilization  of the net  operating
losses to reduce  future  income taxes will depend on the  Company's  ability to
generate  sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating
loss carryforwards.  The loss carryforwards  expire at various times between the
present and 2011.

PART II        OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

               The following discussion is a supplement to the description of
               certain  administrative  and  legal  proceedings  in which the
               Company is involved set forth in the  Company's  Annual Report
               on Form 10-K for the fiscal  year ended  March 31,  1996,  and
               should be read in conjunction with such description.

               In July 1996,  Living  Benefits,  Inc.  ("LBI")  commenced  an
               action  in the U.S.  District  Court for the  District  of New
               Mexico  against  the  Company.  In its  complaint,  LBI claims
               breach of  contract  relating  to certain  terms  under a 1991
               contract  pursuant  to which  the  Company  purchased  certain
               assets  from  LBI.  The  plaintiff  seeks  actual  damages  of
               $1,660,000,   prejudgment   interest,   attorneys'   fees  and
               unspecified  punitive damages. The Company believes that LBI's
               calculation significantly overstates the amounts due under the
               contract, and is engaging in discussions with LBI in the hopes
               of settling the dispute amicably.

               As of March 31, 1996, the Company's  stockholder's  equity was
               below the $500,000  required by the Boston Stock Exchange (the
               "BSE") for continued  listing.  On July 18, 1996,  the Company
               received a request  from the BSE for  information  relating to
               the  Company's   plans  to  comply  with  the  requirement  or
               acquiesce to its  delisting.  On August 15, 1996,  the Company
               provided the BSE with its plan of  compliance,  which included
               closing the Settlement and utilizing the liquidity provided by
               the Settlement to take advantage of business  opportunities in
               which incoming  management has expertise.  In connection  with
               its plan of compliance, the Company requested to remain listed
               without  interruption  for 45 days,  during  which it would to
               provide the BSE with  conclusive  evidence that the deficiency
               had been rectified.  On August 20, 1996 the Company received a
               notice  from  the  BSE  denying  the  Company's   request  and
               notifying the Company that trading of its securities  would be
               suspended  as of the close of  business on August 20, 1996 and
               that the BSE would file for delisting  with the Securities and
               Exchange Commission.

ITEM 2.        CHANGES IN SECURITIES

               In July,  1996,  the Company  extended the  expiration  of its
               outstanding Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants through June
               30, 1997.
