           Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition
                            And Results Of Operations



This report contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including, but not limited to, those factors set forth elsewhere in this report.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. For
example, during 1997 the Company's operations could be materially adversely
affected if interest rates were to rise, if credit experience deteriorated, or
the Company were to face increased competition.


                              Results Of Operations

Net income for the second quarter of 1997 increased to $0.7 million, or $.06 per
common share, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million, or $.03 per common share,
in the second quarter of 1996. Net income for the first six months of 1997
increased to $0.9 million, or $.08 per common share, compared to net income of
$0.4 million, or $.03 per common share, for the first six months of 1996. The
primary causes of the increased 1997 income were a 21% reduction in operating
expenses compared to 1996 and the improved performance of the Company's loan
portfolio, with a significant reduction in the rate of loan charge-offs compared
to 1996.

Volume. Gross contracts purchased or originated totaled $42.7 million in the
second quarter of 1997, or 45% above the $29.4 million purchased in the second
quarter of 1996. For the first six months of 1997, gross contracts purchased or
originated totaled $77.0 million, or 39% above the $55.3 million purchased
during the first half of 1996. The increase in gross contract purchases in the
second quarter and first six months of 1997, relative to the comparable periods
in 1996, was primarily attributable to an increase in portfolio purchases,
resulting from increased management emphasis on this line of business.

Gross contracts purchased or originated were as follows for the three months and
six months ended June 30,  1997 and 1996:

Net interest revenue. Net interest revenue for the second quarter of 1997
totaled $5.1 million, a decrease of 25% compared with $6.8 million in the
prior-year period. For the first half of 1997, net interest revenue was $10.4
million, down 31% from $15.0 million in the first six months of 1996. The
decreases were attributable to a reduction in interest-earning assets and a
decrease in the net interest margin.

The net interest margin was 13.63% in the second quarter of 1997, compared to
14.41% in the second quarter of 1996. For the first half of 1997, the net
interest margin was 13.47%, compared to 14.77% in the first half of 1996. The
decreases were primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense in 1997
compared to 1996. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 10.99% in the
second quarter of 1997 and 10.63% in the first six months of 1997. This compared
to 9.60% and 9.52%, respectively, in the comparable periods in 1996. The
increases were primarily attributable to higher interest rates charged to the
Company under new and amended agreements with its lenders, as more fully
disclosed in the TFC Enterprises, Inc. 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following table summarizes net interest revenue and the net interest margin
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996:

Operating expense. Operating expense was $4.9 million in the second quarter of
1997, compared with $6.2 million in the second quarter of 1996, a decrease of
21%. For the first six months of 1997, operating expense totaled $9.8 million, a
decrease of 21% compared to $12.4 million in the first half of 1996. The
decreases reflect the impact of the Company's previously-announced restructuring
plans implemented during 1996 to consolidate service center locations from three
locations into two and to downsize the management staff, as discussed more fully
in the TFC Enterprises, Inc. 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Provision for income taxes. No income tax expense was provided for the first six
months of 1997 because of a tax credit resulting from the reversal of a portion
of a deferred tax valuation allowance recorded at year-end 1996.

Other matters. The Company is testing and modifying its computer systems, as
necessary, to ensure that the situation commonly referred to as the "year 2000
problem" will not have a significant effect on operations or financial
condition. The problem arises when computer programs cannot process data for the
year 2000 and beyond. It is estimated that the cost of addressing the year 2000
problem and making the Company's computer systems year 2000 compliant will not
be material.


                               Financial Condition

Assets. Total assets decreased by $9.9 million, or 6%, to $148.7 million at June
30, 1997, from $158.6 million at December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily
attributable to a reduction in net contract receivables caused by liquidations
exceeding new contract purchases and originations.

The following table summarizes net contract receivables at June 30, 1997, and
December 31, 1996.

Liabilities. Total liabilities were $117.4 million at June 30, 1997, a decrease
of $11.3 million, or 9%, from December 31, 1996. The decrease in liabilities
from year-end 1996 primarily reflected decreased borrowings under the Company's
credit facilities, which, in turn, resulted from a contraction in net contract
receivables.


                           Credit Quality and Reserves

Net charge-offs. Net charge-offs to the allowance for credit losses and
nonrefundable dealer reserve were $7.3 million in the second quarter of 1997,
representing an annualized rate of 19.98% of average contract receivables net of
unearned interest revenue. This compares to $11.7 million, or 25.81%, in the
second quarter of 1996. For the first six months of 1997, net charge-offs were
$15.4 million, or 20.53%, of average contract receivables net of unearned
interest revenue. This compares to $23.4 million, or 24.11%, of average net
contract receivables net of unearned interest revenue in the first six months of
1996.

Provision for credit losses. Improved credit quality and servicing of the
Company's auto finance contracts eliminated the need for a loss provision on the
auto finance receivables in the first six months of 1997 compared to a provision
of $1.47 million in the second quarter of 1996 and $2.42 million for the first
six months of 1996. The provision for credit losses on the Company's consumer
finance loan business increased to $0.16 million in the second quarter of 1997
compared to $0.03 million in the second quarter of 1996, and increased to $0.25
million for the first six months of 1997 compared to $0.08 million for the first
six months of 1996. The Company's primary business involves purchasing motor
vehicle installment sales contracts at a discount to the remaining principal
balance. An amount ranging from 80 percent to 100 percent of the discount, based
on experience, is 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. For the Company's consumer finance contracts, which
are not purchased at a discount, the reserve for credit losses must be
established by a charge to income in an amount considered to be adequate to
absorb future credit losses.

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. Due to 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 $0.8 million in the first six months of
1997, to $3.5 million at June 30, 1997. The increase reflected $4.1 million of
net cash provided by investing activities and $6.4 million of net cash provided
by operating activities, partially offset by $9.6 million of net cash used in
financing activities. Net cash provided by investing activities principally
reflected $4.2 million in net repayments on contract receivables. Net cash used
in financing activities primarily reflected $11.8 million of net payments on the
Company's revolving line of credit, term notes and Automobile Receivables-Backed
notes. In the first half of 1997 and 1996, the combination of cash on hand and
net cash provided by operating and financing activities was sufficient to fund
business volume.


                             New Accounting Standard

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128 (FAS No. 128), "Earnings per Share," which is required to be adopted on
December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the
method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share,
the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants will be excluded. The impact
of FAS No. 128 on primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the second
quarter and first six months of 1997 and 1996 is not expected to be material.
