                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)
1.   GENERAL

     The unaudited consolidated operating results have been prepared on the
same basis as the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items,
necessary for a fair presentation of the periods.  The results of operations
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of actual results achieved
for full fiscal years.

     As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and
related notes have been condensed and do not contain certain information
included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto.

2.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

     The net income per share amounts are based on the average number of common
shares and common stock equivalents outstanding.  All per share amounts have
been adjusted to reflect all stock splits declared by the Company.

3.   STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 121

     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."  This new accounting standard
requires impairment losses on long-lived assets to be recognized when an
asset's book value exceeds its expected future cash flows (undiscounted).
Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset.
The adoption of this accounting standard did not impact the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Three and Six Months
Ended June 30, 1995

Total Revenue.  Total revenue increased from $20.6 million and $38.3 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to $29.2 million and $55.8
million for the same periods in 1996, representing increases of 41.7% and
45.6%, respectively.  These increases are primarily due to an increase in
finance charge revenue resulting from an increase in the dollar value of
installment contracts receivable.  The increase in contracts receivable is
primarily the result of an increase in the number of dealers participating in
the Company's program and an increase in the average contract size. The Company
enrolled 1,423 new dealers into the Company's program during the six months
ended June 30, 1996, bringing the total number of dealers as of June 30, 1996
to 4,511 compared to 2,455 as of June 30, 1995.

The average yield on the Company's installment contract portfolio was
approximately 13.1% and 11.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.  The decrease in the average yield principally resulted from an
increase in the percent of installment contracts which were greater than 120
days contractually past due (which were 26.1% and 32.8% of gross installment
contracts as of June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively).  The increase in the
level of contractual past due contracts, while significant, is mitigated by the
fact that when an installment contract is 120 days contractually past due, the
Company (i) transfers the contract to a non-accrual status; and (ii) makes a
provision to credit losses equal to the earned but unpaid revenue previously
recognized on such installment contract.  To a lesser extent, the decline in
the average yield was also the result of an increase in the average outstanding
term of the Company's installment contract portfolio.

Also contributing to the increase in total revenue were premiums earned on the
Company's credit life and service contract programs.  Premiums earned increased
from $1.5 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995 to $2.2 million and $4.6 million for the same periods in 1996,
representing increases of 51.3% and 61.7%, respectively.  Interest and other
income increased from $1.9 million and $3.5 million during the three and six
months ended June 30, 1995 to $3.6 million and $6.5 million during the same
periods in 1996, representing increases of 90.0% and 86.2%, respectively.  This
increase is primarily due to an increase in revenue earned from the Company's
dual interest collateral protection insurance program.  To a lesser extent, the
increase is due to commissions earned on credit life and service contract
products offered by dealers in the United Kingdom, and an increase in interest
earned on floor plan financing which resulted from increased floor plan
balances in 1996.  Earned dealer enrollment fees increased from $663,000 and
$1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to $1.3 million
and $2.2 million for the same periods in 1996, representing  increases of 90.2%
and 78.1%, respectively.  The increase is due to the continued increase in the
number of dealers participating in the Company's financing program.

Salaries and Wages.  Salaries and wages, as a percent of total revenue,
decreased from 11.4% and 11.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
to 10.1% and 10.2% for the same periods in 1996.  The Company continues to
benefit from increased efficiencies which have allowed it to increase revenue
with a less than proportionate increase in personnel costs.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses, as a percent
of total revenue, increased from 11.8% and 12.0% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995 to 12.0% and 12.1% for the same periods in 1996.  This
increase is primarily due to investments in technology which have enabled the

Company to more effectively service its growing installment contract portfolio
while having a positive impact on personnel costs.

Provision for Credit Losses.  The amount provided for credit losses, as a
percent of total revenue, increased from 7.7% and 8.1% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1995 to 9.3% and 9.8% for the same periods in 1996.  This
increase is the result of an increase in the Company's reserve on advances made
to dealers.  The increase is partially offset by a decrease, as a percent of
total revenue, in amounts provided for earned but unpaid revenue on contracts
which have become 120 days contractually past due.

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses, as a percent of total
revenue, increased from 2.3% during the three and six months ended June 30,
1995 to 3.2% and 3.3% during the same periods in 1996.  This increase is
primarily the result of increased sales commissions as a result of the
increased enrollment of new dealers into the Company's program, as well as an
increase in other costs directly associated with the enrollment of new dealers.

Provision for Claims.  The amount provided for insurance and service contract
claims, as a percent of total revenue, increased from 2.1% and 2.3% during the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to 2.7% during the same periods in
1996.  The increase is principally attributable to an increase in the level of
reserves necessary to cover unpaid claims, including incurred but unreported
claims.  The increase is proportionate with the growth in the Company's credit
life and service contract programs.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense, as a percent of total revenue, decreased
from 11.5% and 10.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to 9.4%
and 8.6% for the same periods in 1996.  The decrease, as a percent of revenue,
is primarily a result of a decrease in the level of borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit facility, as proceeds from the Company's equity
offering in September of 1995 were used to pay down this debt.  To a lesser
extent, the decrease is also a result of lower average borrowing rates on the
revolving credit facility in 1996.

Operating Income.  As a result of the aforementioned factors, operating income
increased from $10.9 million and $20.3 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995 to $15.5 million and $29.7 million for the same periods in
1996, representing increases of 42.1% and 46.6%, respectively.

Foreign Exchange Loss.  The Company incurred a foreign exchange loss of
$130,000 and $47,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and a
foreign exchange gain of $3,000 and $1,000 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996. The gain and loss result from the effect of exchange rate
fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and British pound sterling on unhedged
intercompany balances between the Company and its subsidiary that operates in
the United Kingdom.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased from $3.8
million and $7.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to
$5.4 million and $10.4 million during the same periods in 1996.  The increase
is due to a higher level of pretax income in 1996.  For the six months ended
June 30, the effective tax rate was 35.0% in 1996 and 34.7% in 1995.  The
increase in the effective tax rate is due to the elimination of certain
deductions previously available to the Company's credit insurance subsidiary.

                          CREDIT POLICY AND EXPERIENCE

     The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses which, in the opinion
of management, adequately reserves against expected future losses.  The risk of
loss to the Company related to the installment contracts receivable balance
relates primarily to the earned but unpaid servicing fee or finance charge
recognized on contractually delinquent accounts.  To the extent that the
Company does not collect the gross amount of the contract, the remaining gross
installment receivable contract balance is charged off against the related
unearned finance charges and dealer holdback first, pursuant to the dealer
servicing agreement, and then against the allowance for credit losses, as
necessary.  The Company also maintains a reserve against advances to dealers
that are not expected to be recovered through collections on the related
installment contract receivable portfolio.  Advance balances are reviewed by
management on a monthly basis, and those which are deemed to be unrecoverable
are charged against the reserve.  Credit loss experience, changes in the
character and size of the receivables portfolio and the advance balance, and
management's judgment are primary factors used in assessing the overall
adequacy of the allowance and advance reserve and the resulting provisions for
credit losses.  Ultimate losses may vary from current estimates and the amount
of the provision, which is a current expense, may be either greater or less
than actual charge offs.

     Servicing fees, which are booked as finance charges, are recognized under
the interest method of accounting until the underlying obligation is 120 days
contractually past due.  At such time, the Company suspends the accrual of
revenue and makes a provision for credit losses equal to the earned but unpaid
revenue.  In all cases, installment contracts on which no material payment has
been received for one year are charged off against the related dealer holdback
and the allowance for credit losses.  As future payments on any remaining
aggregate contracts from a given dealer are available to recover all advances
from such dealer, the risk of loss to the Company is mitigated.

</TABLE>

     The Company's relatively low level of amounts charged against the
allowance for credit losses is due to, among other factors:

      (i)  the requirement that each installment contract accepted must
           meet established, formula-based criteria prior to the Company making
           an advance on such contract;
      (ii) experienced personnel, using computer-assisted accounts
           receivable management and collection systems;
      (iii) the security interest the Company receives in the vehicle at
           the time it accepts an installment contract; and
      (iv) the high level of dealer holdbacks, relative to the amount of
           installment contracts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's principal need for capital is to fund cash advances made to
dealers in connection with the acceptance of installment contracts and for the
payment of dealer holdbacks to dealers who have repaid their advance balances.
These cash outflows to dealers increased from $161.8 million during the six
months ended June 30, 1995 to $233.9 million during the same period in 1996.
These amounts were funded from cash collections on installment contracts,
income from operations, and advances under the Company's credit agreement.
During the first six months of 1996, the Company borrowed approximately $74.0
million under its line of credit agreements to assist in funding the Company's
operations.   The increased need for capital is primarily a result of the
continued growth in new installment contracts accepted.  To a lesser extent,
the increased need for capital is also due to an increase in the amount
advanced per contract, continued increases in dealers' utilization of service
contract products offered by the Company, and amounts needed to fund the
continued growth of the Company's operations in the United Kingdom.

     The Company has a $152 million credit agreement with a commercial bank
syndicate.  The agreement consists of a $92 million line of credit facility
with a commitment period through January 12, 1997 and a $60 million revolving
credit facility with a commitment period through January 13, 1999.  Both
facilities are subject to annual extension for additional one year periods at
the request of the Company with the consent of each of the banks in the
facility.  The borrowings are unsecured with interest payable at the
Eurocurrency rate plus a minimum of 80 basis points and a maximum of 140 basis
points (currently 105 basis points) dependent on the Company's debt rating, or
at the prime rate.  The Eurocurrency borrowings may be fixed for periods up to
one year.  The credit agreement has certain restrictive covenants, including
limits on the ratio of the Company's debt-to-equity, limits on the Company's
investment in its subsidiary in the United Kingdom, and requirements that the
Company maintain a specified minimum level of net worth.  As of June 30, 1996,
there was approximately $103.0 million outstanding under these facilities.


     The Company also has a 2.0 million British pound sterling line of credit
agreement with a commercial bank in the United Kingdom, which is used to fund
the day to day cash flow requirements of



                                      10
<PAGE>   13


the Company's subsidiary which operates in the United Kingdom.  The borrowings
are secured by a letter of credit issued by the Company's principal commercial
bank with interest payable at the United Kingdom bank's base rate (currently
5.75%) plus 65 basis points or at the LIBOR rate plus 56.25 basis points.  The
rates may be fixed for periods up to six months.  As of June 30, 1996, there
was approximately 1.7 million British pounds ($2.6 million U.S. dollars)
outstanding under this facility.

     The Company maintains a significant dealer holdback on installment
contracts accepted which assists the Company in funding its long-term cash flow
requirements.  In future periods, the Company's short and long-term cash flow
requirements will continue to be funded primarily through earnings from 
operations, cash flow from the collection of installment contracts, and the 
Company's credit facilities.  The Company will continue to utilize various 
sources of financing available from time to time to fund the continuing 
growth of the Company, both in the United States and the United Kingdom.  The 
Company believes that such amounts will be sufficient to meet its short-term 
and long-term cash flow requirements.

8, 1996, as amended by First Amendment dated April 19, 1996 (as so

extended (or committed to extend) credit to the Company, as set forth
therein;

     B. The Company and the Permitted Borrower have requested that Agent

   least 66-2/3% of the Weighted Percentages (regardless of the

   hereunder), or if all of the Banks' commitments to extend credit
   hereunder shall have terminated, then Banks holding 66-2/3% of the

   Revolving Credit plus the Line of Credit divided by (b) the sum of the
   Revolving Credit Maximum Amount plus the Line of Credit Maximum Amount,
   as such

        and a Bank, or any Affiliate of a Bank, to manage existing or
