Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Money Store Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of The Money Store Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Money
Store Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

THE MONEY STORE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
The Money Store Inc. together with its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a
financial services company engaged in the business of originating (including
purchasing), selling and servicing consumer and commercial loans of specified
types and offering related services. Loans originated by the Company primarily
consist of: (i) fixed and adjustable rate loans secured by mortgages on
residential real estate (collectively "Home Equity Loans") which include FHA
Title I home improvement loans ("FHA Title I Loans") insured by the Federal
Housing Authority (the "FHA") of the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development ("HUD"), and other home improvement loans not insured by FHA
("Conventional Home Improvement Loans") and collectively with FHA Title I Loans,
("Home Improvement Loans"); (ii) loans guaranteed in part ("SBA Loans") by the
United States Small Business Administration (the "SBA") and commercial loans
generally secured by first mortgages ("Small Business Loans" and, together with
SBA Loans, "Commercial Loans"); (iii) government-guaranteed student loans
("Student Loans"); and (iv) motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts
purchased from automobile dealers ("Auto Loans").
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Money
Store Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. The consolidated
financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. In preparing the consolidated financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated statements of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates
include, among other things, estimated prepayments and discount rates on loans
sold with servicing retained, valuation of collateral owned, and determination
of the allowance for credit losses.
Revenue Recognition
Gain on sale of receivables represents the present value of the difference
between the interest rate charged by the Company to a borrower and the interest
rate received by the investor who purchased the loan in excess of normal loan
servicing fees after giving effect to prepayment assumptions (the "Excess
Servicing Spread"). Included in gain on sale of receivables in addition to the
Excess Servicing Spread are the following: (i) non-refundable fees and premiums
on loans sold; (ii) costs related to the sale of the loans; and (iii) gains or
losses on certain transactions structured as an economic hedge that are designed
to minimize risk of interest rate fluctuations. The Company recognizes such gain
on sale of loans on the settlement date. Gains on the sale of a portion of a
loan are based on the relative fair market value of the loan portion sold and
retained. Concurrently with recognizing such gain on sale, the Company records a
corresponding asset (the "Excess Servicing Asset") on its consolidated statement
of financial condition in an initial amount equal to the Excess Servicing
Spread.

<PAGE>
THE MONEY STORE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition (continued)
The Excess Servicing Asset is amortized, as a charge to finance income, in
proportion to the income received from the differential retained over the
estimated lives of the underlying loans. Income from the differential retained
is recorded in finance income as received. In addition, finance income includes
servicing fees and interest income on loans retained by the Company. The Excess
Servicing Asset is carried at the lower of amortized cost or net realizable
value.
The carrying value of the Excess Servicing Asset is analyzed quarterly by
the Company on a disaggregated basis to determine whether prepayment experience
has had an impact on this carrying value. Expected cash flows of the underlying
loans sold are reviewed based upon current economic conditions and the type of
loans originated and are revised as necessary using the original discount rate
used in calculating the gain on sale. Adjustments arising from adverse
prepayment experience are recognized as a charge to earnings while favorable
experience is not recognized until realized.
The Company ceases to accrue finance income on loans receivable which
become 90 days delinquent. Finance income previously accrued and unpaid on loans
receivable which become 90 days delinquent is reversed.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost
or market value. Market value is determined by outstanding commitments from
investors or current investor yield requirements. There was no allowance for
market losses on loans receivable held for sale at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
Credit Losses
Provision for credit losses is charged to income in amounts sufficient to
maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover anticipated
losses resulting from liquidation of outstanding loans. The allowance for credit
losses is based upon periodic analysis of the portfolio, economic conditions and
trends, historical credit loss experience, borrowers' ability to repay and
collateral values. The allowance for credit losses on loans sold represents the
Company's best estimate of future credit losses likely to be incurred over the
life of the loans sold. The Company's charge-off policy is based on a review of
each individual receivable and the loan is charged-off when deemed
uncollectable.

THE MONEY STORE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Capital leases are included in property and equipment, at the
capitalized amount. Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily using
the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from three to seven years
for furniture and equipment, the lesser of ten years or the lease term for
leasehold improvements, and three to five years for capital leases.
Also included in property and equipment is the capitalization of costs
relating to the construction of an office building. Costs include expenditures
for the purchase of land, construction of the building along with related costs
and the amount of interest associated with the construction. Capitalized
interest is recorded as part of the asset cost and will be depreciated over its
useful life when it becomes operational.
Collateral Owned
Collateral owned consists of property acquired by foreclosure or in
settlement of loans receivable or repossession, and is carried at the lower of
carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Collateral owned is
$7,199,000 and $10,211,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and is
included in other assets.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply in the year in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of
a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Unearned Insurance Commissions
The Company receives a commission from third party providers based upon the
insurance coverage sold to Home Equity Loan customers. For financial reporting,
this income is deferred and recognized over the expected life of the insurance
policy.

Net Income Per Share
Net income per share of common stock is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each period, after giving effect to
common stock equivalents arising from the assumed conversion of the outstanding
$1.72 mandatory convertible preferred stock and the assumed exercise of stock
options. The primary weighted average number of common shares including common
stock equivalents is 59,085,322 for 1996, 51,023,609 for 1995 and 50,804,963 for
1994. The fully diluted weighted average number of common shares including
common stock equivalents is 60,821,321 for 1996, 51,023,609 for 1995 and
50,804,963 for 1994. All share and per share amounts have been restated to
reflect stock splits effected by the Company.
Statements of Cash Flows
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information is as follows:
Cash paid for interest expense is $122,531,000, $84,335,000 and $38,779,000
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Cash paid
for income taxes is $9,253,000, $12,940,000 and $2,035,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Supplemental disclosure of noncash investing and financing activities is as
follows:
Noncash investing and financing activities consist of capital lease
obligations of $3,890,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, in connection
with leases for equipment.
Recent Accounting Developments
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 125 ("FAS 125"), Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.
This Statement provides guidance for distinguishing transfers of financial
assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. FAS 125
supersedes FAS 76, 77 and 122, while amending both FAS 65 and 115. The Statement
is effective January 1, 1997 and is to be applied prospectively. Earlier
implementation is not permitted.

<PAGE>
THE MONEY STORE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Recent Accounting Developments (Cont.)
A transfer of financial assets in which control is surrendered is accounted
for as a sale to the extent that consideration other than beneficial interests
in the transferred assets is received in the exchange. Liabilities and
derivatives incurred or obtained by the transfer of financial assets are
required to be measured at fair value, if practicable. Also, servicing assets
and other retained interests in the transferred assets must be measured by
allocating the previous carrying value between the asset sold and the interest
retained, if any, based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer.
For each servicing contract in existence before January 1, 1997, previously
recognized servicing rights and excess servicing receivables that do not exceed
contractually specified servicing are required to be combined, net of any
previously recognized servicing obligations under that contract, as a servicing
asset or liability. Previously recognized servicing receivables that exceed
contractually specified servicing fees are required to be reclassified as
interest-only strip receivables and the allowance for credit losses on loans
sold will be reclassified as a reduction of these receivables.
FAS 125 also requires an assessment of interest-only strips, loans, other
receivables and retained interests in securitizations. If these assets can be
contractually prepaid or otherwise settled such that the holder would not
recover substantially all of its recorded investment, the asset will be measured
like available-for-sale securities or trading securities, under FAS 115. This
assessment is required for financial assets held on or acquired after January 1,
1997.
It is expected that, upon implementation, FAS 125 will require the Company
to record an unrealized gain of approximately $15,000,000.
In May 1995, the FASB issued FAS 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights" which became effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. The
adoption of FAS 122 has no material impact on the financial condition or results
of operations of the Company.

The carrying value of the Excess Servicing Asset is analyzed quarterly by
the Company on a disaggregated basis to determine whether prepayment experience
has had any impact on this carrying value.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the carrying value
of the Excess Servicing Asset is 11.5%, 11.0% and 10.0% as of December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
Included in gain on sale of receivables in addition to the Excess
Servicing Spread, is the following: (i) non-refundable fees and premiums on
loans sold; (ii) costs related to the sale of loans; and (iii) gains or losses
on certain transactions structured as an economic hedge that are designed to
minimize risk of interest rate fluctuations. The net amounts of these additions
to gain on sale are $9,901,000, $11,739,000 and $51,757,000 for the years ended

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("FAS 123"). This Statement
establishes a new fair value based accounting method for stock-based
compensation plans and encourages (but does not require) employers to adopt the
new method in place of the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"). Companies may continue
to apply the accounting provisions of APB 25 in determining net income; however,
they must apply the disclosure requirements of FAS 123 for all grants issued
after 1994. The Company elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB 25 in
accounting for the employee stock plans described above. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(8) Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
Had compensation cost for these employee stock plans been determined
based on the new fair value method under FAS 123, the Company's net income and
net income per share would have been reduced based on the month of grant to the
pro forma amounts indicated as follows:
<TABLE>

Pro forma (1) 1.41 0.94
Fully diluted:

Pro forma (1) 1.38 0.94
</TABLE>
(1) The pro forma amounts noted above only reflect the effects of stock-based
compensation grants made after 1994. Because stock options are granted each
year and generally vest over five years, these pro forma amounts may not
reflect the full effect of applying the (optional) fair value method
established by FAS 123 that would be expected if all outstanding stock
option grants were accounted for under this method.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated based on the date of
grant. In determining the fair value, the Company used a modified Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. For the fixed stock option plans, the following
weighted-average assumptions are used for 1996 and 1995, respectively: expected
dividend yield of 0.35% and 0.45%; expected volatility of 46.34% and 45.45%;
risk-free interest rates of 6.41% and 5.96%; and expected lives of five for both
years. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted are $11.44
and $6.56 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The Company began development of an office building located in West
Sacramento, California in May 1996, with completion expected in late 1997. The
project, which includes the purchase of land and building construction, is
estimated to cost approximately $85,000,000. The capitalized expenditures
including interest through December 31, 1996 are $23,295,000. The 400,000 square
foot building will help to centralize operations and support additional staff
from the anticipated growth of the business.
The Company has provided revolving credit facilities to various originators
of home equity loans. These facilities provide the originators with warehouse
financing prior to the sale of loans, usually to the Company. These agreements,
which are subject to renewal periodically, bear interest at rates between prime
plus 2.00% and 2.50% and are collateralized by the loans. Upon sale of the
loans, the advances are repaid. At December 31, 1996, the Company has made
available to originators, lines of credit of approximately $141,000,000. At
December 31, 1996 and 1995 advances outstanding were $8,291,000 and $6,447,000,
respectively, and are included in other receivables. The weighted average
amounts outstanding under these credit agreements were $11,192,000 and
$2,370,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
In certain securitization transactions, the Company subordinates a portion
of its interest in excess cash flows to investors. The investors' protection
from losses is provided by the subordination of the Company's cash flows
including various combinations of cash deposits provided by the Company,
subordination accounts and credit enhancements provided by third parties. At
December 31, 1996, $163,996,000 of cash deposits held in interest-bearing
accounts are restricted, and $228,046,000 is advanced in connection with
subordination accounts. In senior subordinated structures, the senior
certificate holders are protected from losses by outstanding subordinated
certificates and credit enhancements provided by third parties.

(10) Commitments, Contingencies and Concentrations of Credit Risk (continued)
In an attempt to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations, one of
the strategies employed by the Company is to enter into pre-funding arrangements
in connection with securitization transactions that allow it to sell loans in
the future at an agreed upon price. At December 31, 1996, under the terms of the
agreements the Company had the right to deliver $176,716,000 of Home Equity
Loans, $31,679,000 of SBA Loans, $30,071,000 of Student Loans, and $49,913,000
of Auto Loans, within approximately 90 days of such date.
In addition, the Company from time to time purchases and sells government
securities at agreed upon prices as an economic hedge. Losses on these
transactions, which are included in gain on sale of receivables, amounted to
$1,435,000 and $5,110,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. There were no purchases or sales during 1994.
In certain whole loan transactions, the Company is subject to off-balance
sheet credit risk in the normal course of business, due to commitments and
obligations to service and repurchase loans receivable which are not included in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The obligations to
repurchase Home Equity Loans are subject to various terms and conditions
including limitations on the amount of loans that may be required to be
repurchased in any given year. Based upon the terms of whole loan transactions
and management's estimates of the lives of the underlying portfolios, management
believes that there are $57,562,000 of Home Equity Loans at December 31, 1996,
which the Company may be required to repurchase in the future should such loans
become more than 90 days past due.
The Company's serviced loan portfolio is widely dispersed. At December 31,
1996, loans to borrowers in the State of California accounted for approximately
20% of the total serviced loan portfolio, while no other state accounted for
more than 9%.
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various legal
proceedings and claims, the resolution of which will not, in management's
opinion, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position
or results of operations of the Company.
(11) Related Party Transactions
The Company leases corporate administrative offices in New Jersey from a
joint venture which includes a general partnership, whose partners are
shareholders and executive officers of the Company. The annual rent under this
lease, which expires in 2000, is subject to certain adjustments, and was
approximately $1,184,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $1,200,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.

(14) Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("FAS 107"), requires disclosure of fair
value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the
statement of financial condition. Fair values are based on estimates using
present value or other valuation techniques in cases where quoted market prices
are not available. Those techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated
by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized
in immediate settlement of the instrument. FAS 107 excludes certain financial
instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.
Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the
underlying value of the Company.
Estimated fair values, carrying values and various methods and assumptions
used in valuing the Company's financial instruments are set forth below:

Subordinated debt (e) 2,000 2,000 24,000 25,000
</TABLE>
(a) The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is considered to be a
reasonable estimate of fair value.
(b) Since it is the Company's business to sell loans it originates, the fair
values were estimated using current investor yields or outstanding
commitments from investors. The fair value for non-performing loans was
based upon recent appraisals of collateral securing such loans. Included in
the carrying value and estimated fair value of receivables is the
mark-to-market effect of any open economic hedge transactions, which were
insignificant at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
(c) The fair value was estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates
available for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. In
determining the fair value, assumed prepayments utilized by the Company
were not significantly different from the Company's actual prepayment
experience.
(d) Warehouse and unsecured notes (excluding the senior notes) generally have
original maturities of less than 90 days; and therefore, the carrying value
is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Term notes are generally adjustable
rate and indexed to the prime rate, therefore, carrying value is a
reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of the senior notes was
estimated based on rates currently available for debt with similar terms
and remaining maturities.
(e) Fair value was estimated based on rates currently available for debt with
similar terms and remaining maturities.

THE MONEY STORE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(14) Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)
The fair value estimates made at December 31, 1996 and 1995, were based
upon pertinent market data and relevant information about the financial
instruments at that time. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount
that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire portion of the
financial instrument. Because no market exists for a portion of the financial
instruments, fair value estimates may be based on judgments regarding future
expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of
various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective
in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and
therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and off-balance sheet
financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated
future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments. For instance, the Company has certain fee-generating
business lines (e.g., its loan servicing operations) that were not considered in
these estimates since these activities are not financial instruments. In
addition, the tax implications related to the realization of the unrealized
gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have
not been considered in any of the estimates.

(16) Subsidiary Guarantors
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
preliminary prospectus supplement with respect to a possible offering off the
Company's shelf registration statement of $250,000,000 of Senior Notes, a
portion of which will be due in 2002 and the remainder in 2004. The Senior Notes
will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated senior indebtedness of the Company.
The Senior Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the "Subsidiary
Guarantees") on a senior unsecured, joint and several, basis by certain of the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"), although the Subsidiary
Guarantees may terminate prior to maturity of the Senior Notes upon the
occurrence of certain circumstances. The Subsidiary Guarantees will rank equally
in right of payment, on a pari passu basis, with all existing and future
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and guarantees of the Guarantors.
The ability of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends or make payments on
intercompany indebtedness will be subject to applicable state laws.
The following consolidating condensed financial data illustrate the
composition of the combined Guarantors. The Company believes that providing the
condensed consolidating information is of material interest to potential
investors in the Senior Notes and has not presented separate financial
statements for each of the Guarantors, because it was deemed that such financial
statements would not provide potential investors with any material additional
information.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent and
Subsidiary Guarantors on the equity method for the purposes of the consolidating
financial data. Earnings of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the parent's
and Subsidiary Guarantor's investment accounts and earnings. The principal
elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany
balances and transactions. Certain sums in the following tables reflect
immaterial rounding differences.
