     February  6,  1997;  Denver,  Colorado. Monaco Finance, Inc. (Nasdaq NMS:
MONFA)  announced  today  that  Monaco and Pacific USA Holdings Corp. had been
unable to agree upon certain proposed modifications to the Securities Purchase

Monaco's  special  meeting  of shareholders scheduled for February 5, 1997 was
adjourned  with  no  action  having  been  taken.

     Morris  Ginsburg,  Chairman  of Monaco, stated "While we are disappointed
that the Pacific USA transaction was not consummated, we will continue to seek
strategic  alliances  which  we  believe  are  desirable  to  maximize today's
opportunities  in  the  secondary  finance  industry."
