                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Volume.  Gross contracts purchased or originated totaled $25.9 million in the
first quarter of 1996, or 65% below the $73.5 million purchased in the first
quarter of 1995.  The first quarter decrease was attributable to a $40.5 million
decrease in point of sale purchases and originations and a $7.1 million decrease
in portfolio purchases reflecting, in part, increased competition from other
lenders.  In addition, the decrease in point of sale purchases in the first
quarter of 1996, as compared to the respective prior year period, resulted from
adjustments to the Company's credit and pricing guidelines in late 1995.  These
adjustments were directed toward reducing the level of charge-offs and
delinquencies in the future.  Management expects that contract purchase volume
for the remainder of 1996 will continue to be well below the corresponding
levels in 1995 and, accordingly, this could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's future profitability.

Gross contracts purchased or originated were as follows for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995:

The decrease in gross contracts purchased or originated in the first quarter of
1996 reflected reductions in each of the Company's three Regional Service
Centers located in Norfolk, Virginia (Mid-Atlantic), Dallas, Texas (Southwest),
and Jacksonville, Florida (Southern) offset, in part, by an increase in First
Community Finance, Inc. originations.

As discussed in the TFC Enterprises, Inc. 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the
Company, in the first quarter of 1996, transferred the underwriting functions of
the Southern Regional Service Center to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Service
Center.  This action was taken to improve control over the underwriting process
by reducing the number of locations at which contracts are purchased.  As a
result, the Southern Regional Service Center's contract purchase volume
decreased significantly in the first quarter of 1996.  No significant purchases
by the Southern Regional Service Center are expected for the foreseeable future.

Net interest revenue.  Net interest revenue for the first quarter of 1996
totaled $8.2 million, an increase of 4%, from $7.8 million in the prior year
period.  The increase was attributable to higher interest earning asset levels
offset, in part, by a decrease in the net interest margin.  Average interest
earning assets for the first quarter of 1996 totaled $216.2 million, an increase
of 19% over the first quarter 1995 level of $182.5 million.  The net interest
margin was 15.1% in the first quarter of 1996, compared to 17.1% in the first
quarter of 1995.  The decrease was attributable to a reduction in the yield on
interest earning assets and an increase in the cost of interest bearing
liabilities.

The yield on interest earning assets was 22.2% in the first quarter of 1996,
compared to 22.6% in the first quarter of 1995.  The decrease was primarily
attributable to a $.6 million reduction in the amount of contract purchase
discount accreted to interest revenue as a yield enhancement.  This was offset,
in part, by an increase in the weighted average annual percentage rate of the
contract receivables portfolio.

The cost of interest bearing liabilities was 9.5% in the first quarter of 1996,
compared with 8.4% in the first quarter of 1995.  The increase was primarily
attributable to higher interest rates charged to the Company under forbearance
agreements with its lenders, as more fully disclosed in the TFC Enterprises,
Inc. 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Operating expense.  Operating expense was $6.3 million in the first quarter of
1996, compared with $5.3 million in the first quarter of 1995.  The increase was
primarily attributable to higher repossession and salary expenses.  Also
contributing to the increase in operating expense was the growth of First
Community Finance, Inc., the Company's subsidiary engaged in the business of
originating and servicing small consumer loans.  As a percentage of average
interest earning assets, operating expense was 11.63% in the first quarter of
1996, compared with 11.56% in the respective prior year period.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets.  Total assets decreased by $19.1 million, or 8.9%, to $196.0 million at
March 31, 1996, from $215.1 million at December 31, 1995.  The decrease was
primarily attributable to a reduction in net contract receivables which
resulted from the Company's sharply lower contract purchase volume in the first
quarter of 1996.  Total assets increased by $17.1 million, or 9.5%, from $178.9
million at March 31, 1995. The increase was due primarily to growth in net
contract receivables, which occurred during 1995.

Net contract receivables.  Net contract receivables were $154.2 million, or 79%
of total assets at March 31, 1996; $171.1 million, or 80% of total assets at
year-end 1995; and $154.5 million, or 86% of total assets at March 31, 1995.
The decrease in net contract receivables at March 31, 1996, compared with
December 31, 1995, reflected decreases in each of the Company's three Regional
Service Centers offset, in part, by an increase in net contract receivables at
First Community Finance, Inc.  Management expects net contract receivables to
continue to decrease in the second quarter of 1996 as a result of the reduced
level of contract purchases by the Mid-Atlantic, Southern and Southwest
Regional Service Centers, as more fully discussed in the "Results of
Operations" and "Credit Quality and Reserves" discussion.

The following table summarizes net contract receivables at March 31, 1996,
December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995:

Liabilities.  Total liabilities were $158.9 million at March 31, 1996, a
decrease of $19.9 million, or 11%, from December 31, 1995, and an increase of
$24.6 million, or 18%, compared with March 31, 1995. The decrease in liabilities
compared with year-end 1995 primarily reflected decreased borrowings under the
Company's credit facilities which, in turn, resulted from a contraction in net
contract receivables.  The increase in liabilities compared to March 31, 1995,
primarily reflected increased borrowings under the Company's credit facilities
which were to fund growth in net contract receivables.  As a percentage of total
liabilities and equity, liabilities represented 81%, 83% and 75%, respectively,
at March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995.

Equity.  Equity increased to $37.2 million at March 31, 1996, from $36.4 million
at December 31, 1995, and decreased $7.5 million from $44.7 million at March 31,
1995.  The increase in equity at March 31, 1996, compared with year-end 1995,
was primarily attributable to earnings retention.  The decrease in equity at
March 31, 1996, compared with March 31, 1995, was primarily attributable to the
Company's net loss in the fourth quarter of 1995.

                          CREDIT QUALITY AND RESERVES

Net charge-offs.  Net charge-offs to the allowance for credit losses and
nonrefundable dealer reserve were $11.7 million in the first quarter of 1996,
representing an annualized rate of 22.66% of average gross contract receivables
net of unearned interest revenue. This compares to $5.8 million, or 12.5%, in
the first quarter of 1995.  The increase in net charge-offs in the first quarter
of 1996, relative to the comparable period in 1995, was due primarily to higher
charge-offs relating to receivables purchased prior to 1996 offset, in part, by
an increase in recoveries.  Recoveries tripled to $1.9 million in the first
quarter of 1996, compared to $.6 million in the first quarter of 1995.

An additional factor which contributed to the increase in net charge-offs in the
first quarter of 1996, compared with the first quarter of 1995, was a modest
tightening of the Company's charge-off guidelines.  Prior to the third quarter
of 1995, credits on which no payments had been received for 120 days were
generally charged-off when they became 180 days contractually past due. In the
third quarter of 1995, the payment recency guideline was reduced from 120 days
to 90 days.

Net charge-offs by Regional Service Center for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995 were as follows:

In late 1995, the Company made certain adjustments to its credit and pricing
guidelines which were directed toward reducing the level of charge-offs and
delinquencies in the future.  In part because of the adjustments to the credit
and pricing guidelines, the Company's contract purchase volume decreased
significantly in the first quarter of 1996, compared to the first quarter of
1995.  Management expects that contract purchase volume for the remainder of
1996 will continue to be well below the corresponding levels in 1995 and,
accordingly, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future
profitability.

Reserves.  At March 31, 1996, the combination of the Company's allowance for
credit losses and nonrefundable dealer reserve totaled $35.8 million, or 18.53%
of gross contract receivables net of unearned interest revenue.  This compares
to $43.5 million, or 19.66%, at December 31, 1995 and $31.1 million, or
15.99%, at March 31, 1995.

The Company's refundable dealer reserve totaled $2.2 million at March 31, 1996,
compared with $3.3 million and $2.9 million at December 31, 1995 and March 31,
1995, respectively.  Under certain of the Company's programs, contracts from
dealers are purchased under a refundable, rather than a nonrefundable, reserve
relationship.   The Company's refundable reserve is available to absorb losses
relating only to those contracts purchased from specific dealers.

Delinquencies.  Gross contract receivables that were 60 days or more past due
at March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995 were as follows:

Provision for credit losses.  The Company's primary business involves
purchasing installment sales contracts at a discount to the remaining principal
balance.  A portion of the discount is generally held in a nonrefundable dealer
reserve against which credit losses are first applied.  Additional provisions
for credit losses, if necessary, are charged to income in amounts considered by
management to be adequate to absorb future credit losses.  The provision for
credit losses totaled $1.0 million in the first quarter of 1996.  No provision
for credit losses was recorded in the first quarter of 1995.

Provision for credit losses is dependent on a number of factors, including, but
not limited to, the level and trend of delinquencies and net charge-offs, the
amount of nonrefundable and refundable dealer reserves and the overall economic
conditions in the markets in which the Company operates.  Because of the
inherent uncertainty involved in predicting the future performance of these
factors, there can be no assurance regarding the future level of provision for
credit losses.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity management.  As shown on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,
cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.7 million in the first quarter of
1996, to $14.2 million at March 31, 1996.  The increase reflected $15.0 million
of net cash provided by investing activities and $6.5 million of net cash
provided by operating activities partially offset by $19.8 million of net cash
used in financing activities.  Net cash provided by investing activities
principally reflected $15.9 million in net repayments on contract receivables.
Net cash used in financing activities reflected $19.8 million in payments on
the Company's senior credit facilities.  For the first three months of 1995,
net cash provided by financing activities totaled $8.8 million, primarily
reflecting $8.7 million in net borrowings under the Company's revolving line of
credit.  In the first quarter of 1996, the combination of cash on hand and net
cash provided by investing activities was sufficient to fund business volume.
In the first quarter of 1995, the combination of cash on hand and net cash
provided by financing activities was sufficient to fund the growth in business
volume.

Forbearance agreements with lenders.  The Company reported a net loss of $(6.5)
million for the full year 1995 which reflected a substantial increase in the
provision for credit losses resulting from a significant increase in
delinquencies and credit losses in the Company's portfolio of contract
receivables.  As a result of the reported loss and the increase in
delinquencies and credit losses, the Company was not in compliance at December
31, 1995, and does not expect to be in compliance in 1996, with certain aspects
of the credit agreements relating to its revolving line of credit, term notes
and subordinated notes.  In March 1996, the Company's lenders agreed to forbear
in the exercise of their rights and remedies under the credit agreements,
provided the Company continues to meet certain terms and conditions.  At March
31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with the terms and conditions related
to the forbearance agreements with its lenders.  With these forbearance
agreements, management believes that the funding resources necessary to achieve
the Company's business plan for 1996 are in place.  A more detailed discussion
of the Company's forbearance agreements with its lenders is included in the TFC
Enterprises, Inc. 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
