CREDIT DEPOT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1997
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial information includes the accounts of Credit
Depot Corporation ("CDC" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
The financial information is unaudited but includes all adjustments consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments which the Company's management believes to
be necessary for fair presentation of the periods presented. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Dollar figures rounded to
the nearest $1,000 in the following discussion are approximate unless otherwise
noted. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1997.
2. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Dividends on preferred stock are subtracted from net loss to arrive at the
numerator for this calculation. The denominator is the weighted average number
of common shares and, when dilutive, common equivalent shares (convertible
securities, warrants and stock options) outstanding during each of the periods.
Dilutive shares are not considered if the numerator (net income or loss less
preferred dividends) is negative.
3. GAIN ON SALE OF RECEIVABLES
Gains on the sale of loans to third parties made during the past two fiscal
years wherein the Company retains an interest in the loan are calculated as the
present value of the interest rate differential (also referred to as the
"Spread") between the rate charged to the borrower and the rate earned by the
third party, after taking into consideration several estimates made by the
Company including early prepayments and loan defaults. The corresponding asset
recorded at the time of the gain on sale of loans with a retained interest, the
interest-only strip receivable, is amortized in proportion to the income
received from the rate differential retained by the Company over the estimated
lives of the underlying loans. The interest-only strip receivable is analyzed
quarterly on a disaggregated basis to determine whether prepayment and default
experience have impacted the fair value. The interest-only strip receivable is
classified as a trading security; accordingly, unrealized gains and losses are
recorded in income.
Gains on sales of loans wherein the Company does not have any further
interest in the loan and does not retain any servicing rights are calculated as
the difference between the cash price paid by the third party and the principal
balance of the loan.
4. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company borrowed a
total of $1,350,000 in the form of secured debt bearing an interest rate of 10%
convertible into preferred stock of the Company. The maturity date on this debt,
which was originally October 31, 1997, was extended to November 14, 1997. In
conjunction with this debt offering, the lenders were issued warrants to
purchase 675,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $2.00 per share.
5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share". The
statement revises standards for computing and presenting net income per share by
(a) replacing primary net income per share with basic net income per share, (b)
requiring dual presentation of basic and diluted net income per share for
entities with complex capital structures and (c) requiring a reconciliation of
basic net income per share computation to diluted net income per share. Basic
net income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common
shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of potential stock
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted
7
<PAGE> 8
into common shares. The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 128 on the Company's
earnings per share calculations has not yet been determined.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
At a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on October 24, 1997, a majority
of the common shareholders of the Company approved an Amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation effecting a reverse stock split in which each five
shares of issued common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock")was
reclassified and changed into one share of Common Stock. This reverse stock
split was effected on October 29, 1997. The Company's Common Stock, adjusted for
the reverse split, will trade under the ticker symbol LENDD for 20 days, at
which time the stock will again trade under the LEND symbol.
At a Board of Directors Meeting held October 24, 1997, the Company accepted
conversion offers tendered by holders of 10% Convertible Secured Notes (the
"Notes") and 9% Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). Of the
$8,140,000 of Notes outstanding, holders representing $6,970,000 of Notes
elected to convert their security to Common Stock at a conversion rate of $0.50
per share. Of the $6,300,000 or 315,000 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding,
holders representing $6,233,320 or 311,666 shares of Preferred Stock elected to
convert their security to Common Stock at a conversion rate of $0.65 per share.
The conversion of Notes and Preferred Stock, plus payment of accrued
interest and dividends thereon in the form of Common Stock, added 24,462,179
shares of Common Stock to the 4,072,861 existing shares of Common Stock
outstanding, resulting in a total of 28,535,040 shares issued and outstanding,
or 5,707,008 shares of Common Stock after giving effect to the one-for-five
reverse stock split.
The effect of the conversion offer on the pro forma financial statements is
summarized as follows:
Balance Sheet- Cash decreased by $125,000 for expenses incurred for the
conversion. The asset "Deferred financing costs" was reduced by
approximately $843,000 for previously capitalized debt financing costs.
Convertible debt was reduced by $6,970,000, representing the note holders
who elected to convert their security. The Preferred Stock and Common Stock
accounts were adjusted a to reflect the changes in the respective par
values of the outstanding securities.
Income Statement- A non-cash charge of $5,576,000 is recorded as a "Debt
Conversion Expense" pursuant to the guidelines of Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 84 "Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt".
The calculation of this figure assumes a market price of the common stock
at conversion of $.50 per share. Pursuant to the guidelines, this charge is
credited to "Paid-In Capital". Also, approximately $843,000 of deferred
financing charges incurred during the original issuance of the Notes were
charged to expense as a result of the conversion of the Notes.
Statement of Cash Flows- Since no additional cash was received as a result of
the conversion of securities, this particular statement was not presented
on a pro forma basis. Estimated cash expenses of $125,000 in the form of
legal fees and conversion agent fees incurred in tendering of the
conversion offer will be charged to paid-in capital as a cost of issuing
additional common stock.
7. GOING CONCERN
In the annual audited financial statements filed with the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K, the independent auditors opinion on those financial
statements included an explanatory paragraph stating that certain conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. These conditions include significant and recurring operating losses,
operating cash flow deficiencies, significant debt, maintenance of minimum net
worth necessary for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, and
accumulated deficit. Note 12 to those audited financial statements elaborated on
the basis for the explanatory paragraph and presented management's plans for
addressing some of the issues cited as a basis for the uncertainty. While the
conversion of debt and preferred stock described above has reduced both debt and
cash outlays for dividend and interest, there can be no assurance that these
changes will result in reversing operating losses or cash flow deficiencies. The
Company still requires additional financing to retire a $1,350,000 loan due
November 30, 1997, and for working capital and debt reduction purposes during
the current fiscal year. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" under Item 2
"Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation".

<PAGE> 9
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following comparison of results from the 1997 Three Months to the 1996 Three
Months refers to actual figures, and does not compare pro forma results as
discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements.
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1997
Net revenues increased 22%, from $1,384,000 in the 1996 Three Months to
$1,687,000 in the 1997 Three Months. The increase in revenue came primarily from
broker fees generated by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cash Back
Mortgage. Revenue from the gain on sale of loans decreased 5.7% from $1,266,000
in the 1996 Three Months to $1,194,000 in the 1997 Three Months on sales of
$18,937,000 and $18,668,000, respectively. The net gain on sale percentage
between the periods decreased from 6.7% for the 1996 Three Months to 6.4% for
the 1997 Three Months as the Company began selling loans more loans on a "cash"
basis whereby the premium on the loans is received as cash at the time of sale,
as opposed to recording an "accrual" gain on sale. While the cash basis sale has
historically resulted in a smaller gain on sale percentage than an accrual basis
sale, the Company believes the benefits from improved cash flow from the cash
basis sale outweigh the smaller margins as compared to an accrual basis sale.
Most of the Company's revenue in both the three months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 (the "1997 Three Months" and the "1996 Three
Months") consisted of loans sold by the Company with an interest retained as a
gain on sale of loans. See Note 3 to the financial statements "Gain on Sale of
Loans" for a more detailed description. In previous years, the Company has sold
loans with a residual interest and also retained the servicing rights to the
loans, creating a gain wherein the corresponding asset is referred to as the
"Servicing Asset", and additionally providing revenue in the form of servicing
income. The Company has recognized such gain on sale of loans with a retained
interest in the fiscal year in which such loans are sold, although cash
(representing the Interest-Only Strip Receivable or Servicing Asset and
servicing fees) is received by the Company over the lives of the loans. Both the
Interest-Only Strip Receivable and the Servicing Asset computations are in part
based upon, and amortized over, the estimated lives of the loans using certain
prepayment assumptions.
Because the gain recognized in the year of sale is equal to the present
value of the estimated future cash flows from the Spread, the amount of cash
actually received over the lives of the loans can exceed the gain previously
recognized at the time the loans were sold. In subsequent years, the Company
would recognize additional income and fees to the extent actual cash flows from
such loans exceed the amortization of the Interest-Only Strip Receivable or
Servicing Asset. If actual prepayments with respect to sold loans occur faster
than were projected at the time such loans were sold, the carrying value of the
Interest-Only Strip Receivable or Excess Servicing Asset is written down through
a charge to earnings in the period of adjustment. There were no charges to
earnings for anticipated prepayments during the 1997 Three Months or the 1996
Three Months.
Total expenses increased 58% from $1,658,000 in the 1996 Three Months
to $2,614,000 in the 1997 Three Months. The largest increase in expenses between
the comparable periods was in labor costs, which increased 67% from $746,000 in
the 1996 Three Months to $1,244,000 in the 1997 Three Months. The Company had 59
employees on a weighted average basis during the 1996 Three Months as compared
to 69 employees during the 1997 Three Months. Other operating expenses increased
38% from $486,000 in the 1996 Three Months to $673,000 in the 1997 Three Months,
primarily due to the increased number of employees and offices. The Company was
operating 13 offices on a weighted average basis during the 1996 Three Months as
compared to 17 offices during the 1997 Three Months. The three largest increases
in other operating expenses from the 1996 Three Months to the 1997 Three Months
were: 1) rent expense, from $106,000 to $151,000, 2) telephone expense, from
$54,000 to $104,000, and 3) warehouse line fees, of which there were none in the
1996 Three Months and $56,000 in the 1997 Three Months.

Interest expense increased 43% from $300,000 the 1996 Three Months to
$428,000 in the 1997 Three Months due to a larger amount of convertible debt
outstanding in the 1997 Three Months. Non-operating amortization expense
increased from $10,000 in the 1996 Three Months to $110,000 in the 1997 Three
Months. Of this increase, amortization of deferred financing costs incurred on
placement of $9,000,000 of convertible debt during the 1996 Three Months was $0
for the 1996 Three Months and $80,000 for the 1997 Three Months. Amortization of
goodwill associated with the acquisition of Cash Back Mortgage in April 1997 was
$0 for the 1996 Three Months and $30,000 for the 1997 Three Months.
The Company recorded a net loss of $927,000 for the 1997 Three Months,
as compared to a net loss of $274,000 for the 1996 Three Months. Net loss per
share of Common Stock after deducting dividends on Preferred Stock was $(0.27)
for the 1997 Three Months compared to a net loss of $(0.12) per share for the
1996 Three Months.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Loans receivable increased from $5,517,000 at June 30, 1997 to
$6,618,000 at September 30, 1997, as the Company began holding loans for a
longer period of time before sale. This extended holding period was the result
of a change in the Company's sales strategy made during the 1997 Three Months,
whereby the Company began selling much of its production on a "Whole" loan basis
(the Company has no residual interest in the loan after the sale) as opposed to
selling loans with a residual interest to a major loan securitizer. Under the
agreement with the securitizer, loans were sold on a "flow" basis, meaning the
Company could sell loans frequently in relatively small groups (called "pools"),
a method that the Company needed to use prior to June 1997 as the Company had no
substantial warehouse lines of credit with which to retain loans for an extended
period. In July 1997, the Company acquired $13,500,000 in warehouse lines, which
allowed the Company to begin holding loans. The holding capacity is necessary
when selling loans on a Whole basis as it can take up to several weeks from the
time of loan Interest-only strips receivable increased from $7,269,000 at June
30, 1997 to $7,784,000 at September 30, 1997. The Company has since discontinued
selling loans with a residual interest which creates this asset, and therefore
anticipates the balance of this asset will now decrease over time at it is
amortized without further additions.
Restricted cash increased from $203,000 at June 30, 1997 to $1,291,000
at September 30, 1997, primarily due to the Company liquidating loans used as
collateral for a $2,300,000 convertible note. As the collateral loans are sold,
the cash received is placed in a restricted cash account. Per the terms of this
note, a new loan is first funded with the Company's working capital, and then
assigned to the noteholder, who then disburses cash out of the restricted
account to the Company at a rate of 90% of the principal balance of the loan
funded. The Company began funding most of its loan originations with the
warehouse lines of credit acquired during the 1997 Three Months, and thus the
loan collateral supporting this note has decreased as loans sold are removed and
few new loans are added. In November 1997, the Company used a portion of the
restricted cash and reduced the principal balance of the note from $2,300,000 to
$1,400,000.
By its nature, the Company's business requires continual access to
short-term and long-term sources of debt and equity capital. The Company's
capital requirements arise principally from loan originations and loan
repurchases, payments of operating and interest expenses, capital expenditures,
premiums paid for the purchase of loans, and start-up expenses for expansion
into new geographic markets. The Company has never generated a positive cash
flow, and it has required and expects to continue to require additional
financing to fund additional geographical expansion and to support its
infrastructure until such time, if ever, it can increase the volume of loan
origination to a point of positive cash flow, and to realize greater returns on
sales of loans. The cash outlay for the current fiscal year was funded primarily
out of the proceeds of the Bridge Loan described below. Capital restraints have
from time to time adversely affected the volume of mortgage loans the Company
originates, and have negatively impacted its ability to hold such loans until a
sale could be arranged for on more favorable terms. To the extent that the
Company is unable to obtain periodic infusions of capital, the Company could be
required to sell mortgage loans on less favorable terms than it might otherwise
be available or curtail lending activities. To date, in addition to the
Company's capital raising efforts, the sources of liquidity have been (1) sales
of the loans the Company originates and purchases into secondary markets, (2)
borrowings under a mortgage warehouse line of credit secured by its loans, (3)
finance income earned on Company owned loans and servicing fees generated on the
loan servicing portfolio, (4) other borrowings (discussed below), (5) the
conversion of the Servicing Asset and Interest-Only Strip Receivable into cash
over the lives of the loans in the servicing portfolio, and (6) advances against
the cash normally received over the life of the loan as noted in #5 above
(discussed below).

In July 1994, the Company completed the placement of $5,550,000 of 8%
Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2004 (the "8% Notes"). In October
1995, the Company agreed to certain conditions as a prerequisite for obtaining a
waiver for technical covenant violations contained in the indenture relating to
the 8% Notes at September 30, 1995. When these conditions were not met at
December 31, 1995, the maturity date of 8% Notes was accelerated to March 30,
1996. The Company repaid $3,250,000 of the 8% Notes in June 1996 ($2,250,000 of
which was paid out of the proceeds of the sale of the 10% Notes described below)
and the remaining $2,300,000 of 8% Notes were exchanged for loans under a
secured warehouse lending facility.
In June 1995, the Company completed an offering of $3,000,000 of
convertible mortgage participations and warrants to purchase common stock to be
used solely for the purpose of originating and acquiring mortgage loans. In
October 1995, $2,500,000 of the borrowings were converted by the holders of
these participations into Preferred Stock and warrants as part of a placement of
$6,400,000 of 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase common
stock. Of the remaining $500,000 of participations, holders of $400,000
converted their participations into Common Stock in September 1996 and the
balance of $100,000 was repaid upon maturity. Of the $6,400,000 of 9% Preferred
Stock sold, one holder converted $100,000 worth of 9% Preferred Stock to Common
Stock in December 1996. Nearly all of the remaining $6,300,000 of 9% Preferred
Stock converted to Common Stock in October 1997 as described in Note 6 to the
financial statements. Per the terms of this conversion, the accrued dividends
(which were not paid for the quarters ending June 30, 1997 and September 30,
1997 due to capital constraints) through the date of conversion are paid in
common stock.
In February 1996, the Company sold $500,000 of convertible mortgage
participations on similar terms to the $3,000,000 of participations sold in June
1995 described above to a single holder. This participation is still outstanding
and matures in February 1998.
The Company completed the sale of $9,000,000 of 10% Convertible Secured
Notes (the "10% Notes") in August 1996, resulting in net proceeds to the Company
after expenses of approximately $8,000,000. $3,250,000 of the proceeds were used
to repay the 8% Notes described above. The 10% Notes are partially secured by
essentially all otherwise unpledged assets of the Company and are convertible
into common stock. At September 30, 1997, $8,140,00 of the 10% Notes were still
outstanding. In October 1997, a majority of the 10% Noteholders elected to
convert their notes to common stock as described in Note 6 to the financial
statements. Per the terms of this conversion offer, interest due to the 10%
Noteholders from July 1, 1997 to the date of conversion is payable in common
stock.
In November 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a major
loan securitizer wherein the Company can receive advances on the Company's
portion of the interest-only strip collected from the borrower over the life of
the loan. This advance is repaid over 36 months and bears an interest rate set
at the time the loans underlying the interest-only strip receivable were sold to
the securitizer. The advance and the interest charge associated with it are
deducted from the monthly collections of interest due to the Company by the
Securitizer. At September 30, 1997, the Company had been advanced $2,451,000 net
of repayments under this agreement.
In April 1997, the Company placed $1,674,000 or 16,740 shares of a
Series B 11% Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "11% Preferred Stock),
convertible into common stock, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $1,498,000. The 11% Preferred Stock contains certain anti-dilution
provisions regarding the conversion rate. Dividends are payable quarterly in
cash or in preferred stock until July 1998, when a penalty for paying dividends
in stock becomes effective. The Company paid the June 30, 1997 dividends in
preferred stock and declared a stock dividend for the quarter ending September
30, 1997.

In June 1997, the Company obtained a revolving warehouse line of credit
for $3,000,000. This line was subsequently increased, and a second line was
obtained in July 1997, bringing the total warehouse line capacity to $13,500,000
by August 1997 for these two lines. The Company was in technical default under
one of the lines but has subsequently corrected the default condition and
currently maintains that line.
During the 1997 Three Months, the Company received a total of
$1,350,000 in a private placement of convertible debt, intended to be a loan
until the Company can complete a new financing of preferred stock (the loan
being referred to as a "Bridge Loan"). The Bridge Loan matures on November 30,
1997, or such earlier date as financing can be completed. The holders were
issued warrants to purchase 3,375,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $.40 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. After
giving effect to the reverse stock split described in Note 6 to the financial
statements, the warrants total 675,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per
share.
In October 1997, the Company effected a one-for-five reverse stock
split on its Common Stock and concluded a conversion offer to the 9% Preferred
Stock holders and 10% Note holders as described above and in Note 6 of the
financial statements. Approximately 86% of the 10% Note holders and 99% of the
9% Preferred Stock holders converted their securities into Common Stock. In
addition to the financial effects discussed in Note 6 of the financial
statements, the Company eliminated $697,000 in annual interest expense and
$561,000 in annual disbursements of dividends as a result of the conversion of
the two securities into common stock. While this reduction in cash outflow is
significant, it will not, by itself, result in a positive cash flow for the
Company. To achieve a positive cash flow, the Company will have to increase loan
sales above current levels without a corresponding increase in expenses. To
provide working capital until such time, if ever, the Company can achieve a
positive cash flow, and to provide money necessary to repay a $1,350,000 Bridge
Loan maturing on November 30, 1997 and a $500,000 mortgage participation
maturing in February 1998, the Company must obtain additional financing. The
Company has entered into discussions with the primary placement agent for the
Bridge Loan to convert the Bridge Loan to preferred stock and raise additional
equity in the form of preferred stock; however, no assurance can be given that
such additional financing will occur. In the event that the Company does not
obtain substantial additional financing, the Company could be required to scale
back or cease its operations. Even if the Company is successful in obtaining
additional financing, there can be no assurance that it will be able to generate
a positive cash flow, or that it will be required to obtain additional financing
in the near future.
