            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          --------------------------
      1.    General

      In the opinion of the Company,  the  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments  necessary to present fairly its financial  position as of March 31,
1998 and the results of its  operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997 and cash flows for the nine months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.  The
statements are condensed and therefore do not include all of the information and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial  statements.  The statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the
consolidated  financial  statements and the footnotes  included in the Company's
Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30,  1997.  The results of
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Per Share Data

      In 1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  128,  Earning  per share.  Statement  128
replaces the previously reported primary and fully diluted net income with basic
and  diluted  net income per share.  Unlike  primary  earnings  per share  basic
earnings per share exclude any diluted effects of stock options,  warrants,  and
convertible  securities.  Diluted  earnings  per  share is very  similar  to the
previously  reported  fully  diluted  earnings per share.  All earning per share
amounts for all periods have been presented,  and where necessary,  are restated
to conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

Segment Reporting

            Effective   January  1,  1998  the  Company  adopted  the  Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board's Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
131,  Disclosures  about  Segment  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related  Information
(Statement 131).  Statement 131 establishes  standards for the way that a public
business  enterprises  report  information  about  operating  segments in annual
financial  statements  and  requires  that  those  enterprises  report  selected
information about the operating segments in interim financial reports. Statement
131 also  establishes  standards  for  related  disclosure  about  products  and
services,  geographic areas, and major customers.  The adoption of Statement 131
did not affect  results of operations  or financial  position but did affect the
disclosure of segment information.

Reclassifications

      Certain amounts have been reclassified in the 1997 financial statements to
conform to the 1998 presentation.

 3.   Commitments and Contingencies

      The Company has not entered into any new agreements  that contain any long
term commitments or contingencies.

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


Overview

      The Company is a diversified  financial services company engaged,  through
its  wholly  owned   subsidiaries,   in  the  business  of  purchasing  accounts
receivables,  residential  mortgage  origination,  and  residential  real estate
sales. The Company's  subsidiary,  U.S.  Commercial Funding  Corporation (USCF),
commenced  operations in July, 1994. The Company's subsidiary Salt Lake Mortgage
Corporation  (SLM), a residential  mortgage loan  originator,  and the Company's
subsidiary  Advantage Realty Inc. (ADR), a real estate brokerage  operation were
acquired by the Company on January 31, 1997 in a merger transaction.

Results of Operations

     The  following  discussion  and  analysis in the table below  presents  the
significant changes in financial conditions and results of continuing operations
of the Company and is  categorized by the Company's  Subsidiaries  for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The  discussion  below of SLM and
ADR  results of  operations  do not  compare to the same period for the three or
nine months  ending March 31, 1997.  SLM and ADR were acquired by the Company on
January 31, 1997. Because the acquisition occurred on January 31, 1997 the table
reflects  only the results of  operations  for the months of February  and March
1997.  Effective  February  23,  1998, the  Company  has  discontinued  its  ADR
subsidiary operations and is no longer in the real estate brokerage business.

      USCF revenues totaled $638,000 for the three month period ending March 31,
1998,  compared to $320,000 for the same period in 1997.  USCF revenues  totaled
$l,685,000  for the nine  month  period  ending  March  31,  1998,  compared  to
$1,042,000  for the same  period in 1997.  This  sixty-two  percent  increase in
revenues results from a increase in the total volume of purchased receivables.

1998. SLM revenues totaled $1,087,000 for the nine month period ending March 31,
1998.  The market is  experiencing  an  increase  in  origination  volume due to
customers refinancing existing mortgages due to lower mortgage interest rates.

      ADR revenues  totaled  $18,000 for the three month period ending March 31,
1998.  ADR revenues  totaled  $182,000 for the nine month period ending March 31

<PAGE>


31, 1998  totaled  $442,000  compared to $136,000  the same period in 1997.
This increase in interest expense relates to USCF's increased use of the line of
credit  which is  necessary  to  finance  the  growth  in  volume  of  purchased
receivables.

     USCF operating expense, not including interest expense, for the three month
period ending March 31, 1998 total  $374,000,  compared to $260,000 for the same
period in 1997.  Operating expense totaled $1,024,000 for the nine months ending
March 31, 1998,  compared to $792,000 for the same period in 1997.  This expense

$59,000,  Commissions paid to referral sources - $132,000, Legal fees - $87,000,
and  provision  for credit  losses - $70,000.  The  increase  in expenses in the
comparative  three and nine month periods  ending March 31, 1998 are a result of
the increased growth of USCF purchased accounts receivables.

        SLM's  operating  expense  for the three  months  ending  March 31, 1998
totaled  $380,000.  The operating expense for the nine month period ending March

      The Company's  parent  corporate  overhead expense totaled $52,000 for the
three month period  ending March 31, 1998,  compared to a $4,000  income for the
same period in 1997.  The corporate  overhead  expense for the nine month period
ending March 31, 1998 totaled $146,000,  compared to $77,000 for the same period
in 1997.  The  increase in expense for the three month  period  ending March 31,
1998  compared to March 31, 1997 is primarily a result of the SLM/ADR  merger
on January 31, 1997. As a result of the merger the over head expense the Company
incurred  in the  prior  periods  were  reversed  and  included  as  part of the
Goodwill..

      Consolidated  operating  expense,  not including  interest,  for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 was 78% of consolidated revenues compared to 94% for
the three months  ended March 31,  1997.  Consolidated  operating  expense,  not
including  interest,  for the  nine  months  ended  March  31,  1998  was 84% of
consolidated revenues compared to 89 % for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.

The operating profit for the nine month period ending March 31,1998 is $254,000,
compared to $114,000 for the same period in 1997.  This profit increase a direct
result of the increase in the volume of purchased receivables.


                                      10

      SLM had a operating  profit of $53,000 for the three month  period  ending
March 31, 1998,  and a $52,000  profit for the nine month period ending March 31
1998.

      ADR had a operating  loss of ($23,000)  for the three month period  ending
March 31 , 1998,  and a operating  loss of ($119,000)  for the nine month period
ending  March  31,1998.  As a result of these  operating  losses the Company has
discontinued ADR operations.

     The  consolidated  net income for the three month  period  ending March 31,
1998 totaled $96,000, compared to a ($42,000) operating loss for the same period
in 1997. The  consolidated net operating profit for the nine month period ending
March 31, 1998 total  $41,000  compared to the net income of $2,000 for the same
period  in 1997.  The  profitability  increase  results  from USCF and SLM total
overall  performance  relating  to revenue  growth and  corresponding  operating
profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

             The Company's capital requirement will most likely increase as each
of its subsidiaries grows and requires additional  capital.  The requirement for
additional  capital would  provide  additional  resources to increase  volume of
purchased  receivables,  allow expansion of the mortgage operation,  and provide
financing  for  any  potential  acquisition/merger  activity.  There  can  be no
assurance that additional capital will be available as needed.

           In December, of 1997, USCF successfully re-negotiated its line credit
with Capital  Business  Credit.  The most  significant  changes are: the maximum
credit line amount  increased from  $6,000,000 to  $15,000,000,  and the cost of
interest was lowered by two hundred  basis points.  USCF believes  these changes
will be adequate to grow USCF's business and improve gross profit margins in the
foreseeable future.

      The  Company's  business  plan  includes  a  strategy  of  growth  through
acquisitions  in  addition  to  internally  generated  growth.  The  Company has
recently  entered  into a  non-binding  Letter  of  Intent  to  acquire  another
factoring company.  The acquisition is subject to numerous conditions  including
the Company  raising an additional  $18,500,000  in capital to fund the purchase
price.  Accordingly,  the  Company's  short term  capital  requirements  include
raising, through debt or equity sources,  approximately  $18,500,000 if it is to
complete such acquisition.  There can be no assurance that such acquisition will
be completed.

      At March 31, 1998 the Company had total  assets of  $12,352,648  and total
liabilities of  $8,607,988.  This compares to the total assets of $7,924,484 and
total  liabilities  of $4,221,575 at June 30, 1997.  'The increase in net assets
and  liabilities  is the  direct  result  of the  increased  level of  factoring
business  activity,  and the increased  activities of SLM and ADR. Cash at March
31, 1998 totaled  $862,617  compared to $941,789 at June 30,  1997.  The Company
used this cash to fund additional receivable purchases,  and to fund its ongoing
operations.  The Company  intends to continue  to purchase  receivables  through
existing  cash and  through  the use of the line of credit as well as expand its
mortgage origination operation by entering into selective funding projects.



                                      11

      The Company anticipates that its monthly general and administrative costs,
exclusive of depreciation and marketing  expenses,  commissions and professional
fees, will be approximately  $95,000 for each month of the next six months based
on  current  operations.  However,  if  purchased  receivable  volume  and  loan
origination  volume increase,  the Company may be required to increase its staff
which will increase its monthly general and administrative expenses. The Company
anticipates  that existing working capital and the line of credit is adequate to
fund its projected factoring volume during the next year.

Inflation

      In the opinion of management,  inflation has not had a material  effect on
the operations of the Company.  Given current  inflationary  trends, the Company
does not believe inflation will have any future adverse effect.
