AUTOLEND GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by management
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include
all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended March 31, 1997. The information furnished, in the opinion of
management, reflects all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results of operations of AutoLend
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") for the three month periods ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations of interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim
period or for the year as a whole.
(2) Going Concern
Management is faced with the need to complete the restructuring of the Company's
obligations. The total principal amount of the Company's outstanding 9.5%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") is due September 19,
1997. Although the Company currently has sufficient liquidity to meet its
obligations in general, the Company does not presently have sufficient liquidity
to repay the entire principal of the outstanding Debentures when it becomes due.
The Company is currently working on the resolution of this issue, but can not
guarantee the outcome at this time. Consequently, there is substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
(3) Involuntary Bankruptcy Petition Dismissed
On November 1, 1996, four holders of the Company's Debentures filed an
involuntary petition against the Company in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of New Mexico, alleging that the Company was not generally
paying its debts as they became due. The Company filed an answer to the
creditors' petition, denying that it was a proper subject of a bankruptcy
proceeding. The case was dismissed on March 25, 1997, and the dismissal became
effective April 7, 1997. During the pendency of this action until its
resolution, the Company was restricted in its ability to actively pursue any new
business activity.

<PAGE>
(4) Convertible Subordinated Debentures: Exchange Offer Closed
On April 8, 1997, the Company's offer to exchange common stock and
preferred stock for its outstanding Debentures (the "Exchange Offer") expired,
and the Company thereby issued 1.4 million shares of its common stock and 58,000
shares of its newly created 14% cumulative convertible preferred stock, in
exchange for $7.2 million of face value of the Debentures. As a result of the
Exchange Offer, the Company recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 a charge
of $6.3 million and an equal offsetting increase to additional paid-in capital.
In addition, accrued interest on the Debentures, totaling $1.1 million, has been
cancelled. The Exchange Offer resulted in a net increase to stockholders' equity
of $8.3 million.
(5) ITB Option
As a result of the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding against the Company (see
Note 3), the Company was prevented from purchasing from Robert Brennan
("Brennan") an approximately 25% equity interest in International Thoroughbred
Breeders, Inc. ("ITB"). Consequently, NPD, Inc. ("NPD"), a newly formed company
owned by Nunzio P. DeSantis and Anthony Coelho, the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer and a Director, respectively, of the Company, purchased the ITB shares
in lieu of the Company. NPD concurrently granted the Company an option to
purchase the ITB shares from NPD at the same price NPD had agreed to pay for the
ITB shares. In consideration of the option, the Company agreed to make a loan to
NPD to finance a portion of the cash purchase price to be paid by NPD to Brennan
at closing and further agreed that, following the dismissal of the involuntary
bankruptcy petition, it would guarantee up to $2.0 million of NPD's obligation
to pay the remaining portion of the purchase price due Brennan for the ITB
shares, and to effect this, would deposit $2.0 million into a cash collateral
escrow account to secure its guarantee obligation.
The Bankruptcy Court enjoined the proposed loan by the Company to NPD, and, as a
result, the option was not granted to the Company. Nonetheless, following the
dismissal of the involuntary bankruptcy petition, and in accordance with its
agreement, the Company executed and delivered its guarantee as aforesaid and
deposited the required $2.0 million in the cash collateral escrow account.
In June 1997, in order to reinstate the Company to the position it would have
been in as the purchaser of the ITB shares, the Company's Board of Directors
approved an agreement in principle with NPD, pursuant to which the Company could
purchase from NPD, for a purchase price of $2.5 million ($200,000 in cash and a
note for $2.3 million), an option to acquire 100% of the ITB shares owned by
NPD. If the option is exercised, the Company will purchase the ITB shares for
the same cash portion of the purchase price NPD paid for the ITB shares and by
assuming the $5.8 million promissory note issued by NPD to Brennan at the
closing for the remainder of the purchase price for the ITB shares. A portion of
the option exercise price would be paid through the Company's cancellation of
the $3.0 million loan to NPD discussed below.
7
<PAGE>
The option to be granted to the Company is subject to an option which has also
been granted by NPD to Mr. DeSantis to purchase 50% of the ITB shares from NPD
which, if exercised by Mr. DeSantis, would nonetheless permit the Company to
acquire the remaining 50% of the ITB shares. Furthermore, each of the Company's
and Mr. DeSantis' option is subject to an option which was granted by NPD to
Robert Green at the closing of the ITB share purchase to purchase 50% of the ITB
shares. In the event either the Green or DeSantis options are exercised, then
the $2.3 million note held by NPD in partial payment of the option will be
reduced proportionately by the percentage of the ITB shares remaining subject to
the option.
On July 10, 1997, the Company loaned $3.0 million to NPD. The loan accrues
interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and is payable in full, together with all
accrued interest, on July 9, 1999. The loan is secured by a pledge by NPD of the
shares of common stock of ITB owned by it, subject to a prior lien and pledge of
the ITB shares held by Brennan as security for NPD's obligation to pay the
balance of the purchase price due for the ITB shares. NPD used the proceeds of
the loan to repay an earlier loan made by an unaffiliated third party, which
resulted also in the cancellation of an option which NPD had granted to the
unaffiliated third party to purchase the ITB shares.
(6) Subsequent Events: Reduction in Cash Balances
Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company repurchased Debentures for
approximately $5 million in cash at a discount from face value. In addition, on
July 10, 1997, the Company loaned NPD $3.0 million, the proceeds of which were
used to repay a loan made to NPD by an unaffiliated third party, which repayment
also resulted in the cancellation of an option which had been granted by NPD to
the third party to purchase the ITB shares owned by NPD (see Note 5).
Had these transactions occurred as of June 30, 1997, the Company's unrestricted
cash balance would have been reduced to $1.2 million.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations: Three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Revenues from installment contracts receivable (consumer used-car loans) were
$0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 1997, which represented a
$0.4 million decrease compared to the $0.6 million realized during the three
months ended June 30, 1996. This decrease resulted from the reduced size of the
Company's portfolio of such loans; the Company ceased purchasing new loans in
December 1995, and as loans are paid in full or are written off, the portfolio
decreases in size. The principal repayment portion of the collections on the
portfolio is not recorded as revenue. The substantial cost to collect these
loans is not reflected in net revenue, but as general and administrative
expenses. Future revenues from this portfolio will, in general, decline from
their present level of $200,000 per quarter.
There were no net viatical revenues realized in the three months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996. The Company generally ceased purchasing such policies after
September 1994 and, in May and July 1995, sold the majority of the Company's
portfolio. Future net revenues from this remaining portfolio of approximately
twenty policies will be irregular, depending upon the timing of mortality of the
insured.
General and administrative expenses were $0.5 million during the three months
ended June 30, 1997, which represented a reduction of $1.1 million compared to
the $1.6 million expended during the three months ended June 30, 1996. This
decrease resulted primarily from the effect of the Company's change in
management in September 1996. The employee staff of the Company was
significantly reduced and the Company's offices were moved from Miami Beach,
Florida to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The cost of administering and collecting on
the portfolio of consumer car loans is included in general and administrative
expenses.
There were no provisions for credit losses in connection with the portfolio of
installment contracts receivable for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This
represented a decrease of $1.9 million compared to the three months ended June
30, 1996, and was primarily the result of the shrinking size of the total
portfolio outstanding.
Operating losses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $0.3 million,
compared to $2.9 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The
$2.6 million reduction in operating losses was primarily due to the
stabilization of the consumer loan portfolio and the reduction in general and
administrative expenses.
As a result of the Exchange Offer, the Company recorded a non-cash charge for
Debenture conversion of $6.3 million, and recorded an equal offsetting increase
to additional paid-in capital. The conversion of the Debentures to Common and
Preferred Stock had, in total, a positive effect on net equity for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997.
9
<PAGE>
In addition, the Company realized a $0.9 million gain on early extinguishment of
debt in connection with Debentures repurchased during the three months ended
June 30, 1997.
The net effect of all of the foregoing resulted in a book loss of $5.9 million
or $1.00 per share for the three months ended June 30, 1997 (however, net equity
increased by $8.6 million during the period). The net loss for the same period
last year was $3.8 million, or $0.82 per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's immediate viability as a going concern is dependent upon the
continued restructuring of its obligations, and, ultimately, a return to
profitability. At June 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $9.2 million. Subsequent to June 30, 1997, other transactions have
substantially reduced cash and equivalents; had these transactions occurred
prior to June 30, 1997, the unrestricted cash available at that date would have
been $1.2 million (see Note 6 to the Financial Statements). The Company believes
it has sufficient funds to finance currently contemplated operations until at
least mid-September, but would require additional funds to finance the repayment
of the Debentures.
Cash flows from operations was a negative $0.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. This compares to the positive cash flow from operations of
$1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease was
primarily due to the pay-out of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and
secondarily by the declining size of the loan portfolio (which impact was
partially mitigated by reduced general and administration expenses).
The Company's portfolio of unmatured viatical insurance policies consisted of 20
policies at June 30, 1997, having a combined face value of approximately $2.1
million and a net book value of approximately $0.5 million. The Company
generally ceased purchasing new policies as of September 1994.
The portfolio of installment contracts receivable at June 30, 1997 was $2.0
million (excluding such contracts with respect to which there has been a
repossession of the underlying collateral or a charge-off, and before the effect
of reserves). The portfolio consisted of approximately 693 active used car
loans, of which approximately one-half (on a dollar-weighted basis) are thirty
days or more past due. The Company commenced purchasing these contracts in May
1994, and ceased purchases on December 22, 1995.
Cash flows from investing activities for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was a
deficit of $2.0 million, which was the result of the funding of the cash
collateral escrow account in connection with the NPD transaction for the ITB
shares (see Note 5). This compares to a de minimus deficit in the three month
period ended June 30, 1996.
10
<PAGE>
Cash flows from financing activities was a deficit of $0.7 million during the
three months ended June 30, 1997, which was the result of the repurchase of
Debentures. There were no cash flows from financing activities during the three
months ended June 30, 1996.
In summary, the Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.2 million
during the three months ended June 30, 1997, to a total of $9.2 million
(however, as noted above, had certain subsequent transactions occured prior to
June 30, 1997, then cash available at that date would have been $1.2 million).
This decrease to $9.2 million at June 30, 1997 was largely due to the funding of
the escrow account, to the pay-out of accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
and to the repurchase of Debentures. In comparison, for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, there was a $1.4 million increase in cash and cash equivalents,
to a total of $4.6 million.
Historically, the Company's primary source of capital has 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 the
September 1991 sale of Debentures which resulted in net proceeds of $51.4
million. As a result of prepayments without penalty and the Exchange Offer, the
outstanding principal balance of Debentures was $13.4 million at June 30, 1997.
Subsequent to June 30, 1997, additional Debentures were prepaid at a discount;
nonetheless, the Company is presently unable to give assurance that it can meet
its remaining Debenture obligations and continue as a going concern.

AUTOLEND GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Part II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On March 25, 1997, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New
Mexico entered a final order dismissing the Involuntary Chapter 11 case (No.
11-96-14835 MA Involuntary), effective April 7, 1997.
On September 12, 1996, a complaint was filed against the Company in the United
States District Court for the District of New Mexico by Living Benefits (Living
Benefits, a New Mexico corporation, v. Autolend Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation; formerly known as CAPX Corporation, and LB NM, Inc., a Delaware
corporation; Cause No. CIV 96 0993 SC). The complaint alleges that the Company
is obligated to the plaintiff for an amount in excess of $1,657,914, together
with interest at the rate of 8.75% form June 30, 1992, for "earn-out payments"
allegedly owned under a contract between the plaintiff and the Company dated
March 14, 1992. The plaintiff is also seeking punitive damages for bad faith in
an undisclosed amount, as well as attorney's fees. The Company has admitted that
it is obligated to the plaintiff in the amount of $656,542 pursuant to an
agreement which had been entered into between the Company and the plaintiff in
June 1995 and which the Company alleges had since been breached by the
plaintiff. On June 11, 1997, an Offer of Judgement was made to the plaintiff in
the amount of $656,600 together with costs accrued as of that date. The Company
will vigorously defend against any action which seeks to extend its liability to
the plaintiff beyond its admitted obligation.
Item 2. Changes in Securities
In connection with the Debenture Exchange Offer, which expired by its terms on
April 8, 1997, the Company issued approximately 1.4 million shares of its common
stock and approximately 58,000 shares of a newly created 14% cumulative
convertible preferred stock in exchange for validily tendered Debentures. The
issuance of the common stock and preferred stock was made pursuant to an
exemption under the federal securities laws pursuant to Section 3 (a) (9) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
On September 19, 1996 the Company was obligated to make an interest payment of
approximately $2.1 million on the remaining outstanding Debentures. Although the
Company currently has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations in general,
the Company does not presently have such liquidity to repay the principal
outstanding under the Debentures as such becomes due in September 1997. On
October 22, 1996, the Company initiated an Exchange
12
<PAGE>
Offer to exchange shares of common and preferred stock for any or all
outstanding Debentures, including the interest due September 19, 1996. The
Exchange Offer expired on April 8, 1997, and the Company accepted all Debentures
tendered. During the three months ended June 30, 1997, $8.6 million of the
outstanding Debentures (plus accrued interest) was cancelled as a result of both
the Exchange Offer and, following the expiration of the Exchange Offer,
Debenture repurchases (which were privately negotiated). A total of $13.4
million in principal of Debenture and $1.3 million of unpaid interest remained
at June 30, 1997. Subsequent to June 30, 1997, additional Debentures were
repurchased through privately negotiated transactions.
