                           STANDARD FUNDING CORP.
                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 (unaudited)

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Business - Standard Funding Corp. (the "Company") provides loans to
     finance substantially all forms of property and casualty insurance
     premiums on policies which are written through independent insurance
     agents and brokers. The insurance policies are primarily held by
     commercial businesses.

     Interim Financial Statements - The financial statements for the three
     month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are
     unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
     financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary for a fair
     presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for
     the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
     The interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for a full year.

     Unearned Interest - Unearned interest on installment loans receivable
     under premium finance agreements is recognized as income using a
     method which approximates the results which would be obtained using
     the interest method.

     Fees and Loan Processing Costs - Loan processing costs incurred are
     deferred and amortized on the straight-line method over the term of
     the related installment loans receivable under premium finance
     agreements. Cancellation fees and late charges are recognized as
     income when received.

     Allowance for Possible Credit Losses - The balance in the allowance
     for possible credit losses is based on management's assessment of risk
     in the installment loan portfolio. The Company writes off receivables
     upon determination that no further collections are probable.

     Property and Equipment - net - Property and equipment are stated at
     cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over such
     assets' estimated useful service lives which range from three to five
     years. Purchased computer software is amortized over longer periods.
     Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their
     estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease.

     Revenue and Credit Concentration - The Company receives substantially
     all of its revenues from financing arrangements made within the New
     York, New Jersey and Connecticut tri-state area. Accordingly, at June
     30, 1996, substantially all of the Company's installment loans
     outstanding were from this geographic region.

                             STANDARD FUNDING CORP.
                    NOTES TO FINANCE STATEMENTS - (Continued)

     Income Taxes - Deferred taxes provide for the tax effect of timing
     differences between financial and tax reporting primarily arising from
     the recognition of unearned interest income for tax purposes and from
     the use of accelerated depreciation methods.

     Net Income Per Share - Net income per share is based on the average
     number of shares outstanding.

     Reclassifications - Certain amounts in prior periods have been
     reclassified to conform with the current period's presentations.

2.   INSTALLMENT LOANS RECEIVABLE UNDER PREMIUM FINANCE AGREEMENTS

     Substantially all installment loans receivable under premium finance
     agreements are completely repayable in less than one year. In the
     event of default by a borrower, the Company is entitled to cancel the
     insurance policy financed and receive a refund for the unused term of
     such policy from the insurance carrier. The proceeds of such refunds
     are generally sufficient to cover the unpaid balance of the loan.

     A summary of activity in the allowance for possible credit losses is
as follows:

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

     Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 to Six Months Ended June
30, 1995

     Finance charge income increased by 19.6% to $2,714,973 in the first
six months of 1996 from $2,269,256 in the first six months of 1995
primarily because of an increase in total installment loans financed during
the respective periods. Total installment loans originated increased 28.2%
to $43,227,788 from $33,723,704. The Company's average receivables for the
period ended June 30, 1996 increased 26.3% to $29,318,317 from $23,219,662
for the period ended June 30, 1995. Interest expense for the period ended
June 30, 1996 increased 29.7% to $862,207 from $664,698 for the period
ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $197,509, due to an increase in
borrowings. Selling and operating expenses increased during the period
ended June 30, 1996 to $1,193,859 from $1,070,844 in the period ended June
30, 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in salary
rates and expenses. Due to the 19.6% increase in finance charge income,
compared to a 29.7% increase in interest expense, there was a 15.5%
increase in the "spread" to $1,852,766 for the period ended June 30, 1996
from $1,604,558 for the period ended June 30, 1995. In comparing the
periods, the number of contracts booked decreased from 14,184 to 13,440.
The average size of each contract for the period ended June 30, 1996
increased 35.3% to $3,216 from $2,377 in the period ended June 30, 1995, an
increase of $839, as the Company has concentrated on the commercial aspect
of the business. Management estimates that approximately 85% of the
Company's outstanding receivables are commercial accounts and approximately
15% are personal accounts.

     The provision for possible credit losses increased to $191,785 for the
period ended June 30, 1996 from $158,830 for the period ended June 30,
1995. This increase of $32,995 is due primarily to the increase in
installment loan receivables. The allowance for possible credit losses
increased to $251,000 at June 30, 1996 from $193,000 at June 30, 1995.

     Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 to Three Months Ended
June 30, 1995

     Finance charge income increased by 19.1% to $1,395,949 in the second
quarter of 1996 from $1,172,073 in the second quarter of 1995 primarily
because of an increase in total installment loans financed during the
respective periods. Total installment loans originated increased 33.5% to
$22,364,382 from $16,750,158. The Company's average receivables for the
second quarter of 1996 increased 28.1% to $32,031,884 from $25,000,984 for
the second quarter of 1995. Interest expense for the second quarter of 1996
increased 28.3% to $460,634 from $359,015 for the second quarter of 1995,
an increase of $101,619, due to an increase in borrowings. Selling and
operating expenses increased during the second quarter of 1996 to $599,794
from $532,656 in the second quarter of 1995. This increase was primarily
attributable to increases in salary rates and expenses. Due to the 19.1%
increase in finance charge income, compared to a 28.3% increase in interest
expense, there was a 15.0% increase in the "spread" to $935,315 for the
second quarter of 1996 from $813,058 for the second quarter of 1995.


                                    -9-
<PAGE>

     In comparing the periods, the number of contracts booked decreased
from 7,004 to 6,454. The average size of each contract for the period ended
June 30, 1996 increased 44.9% to $3,465 from $2,391 in the period ended
June 30, 1995, an increase of $1,074, as the Company has concentrated on
the commercial aspect of the business. Management estimates that
approximately 85% of the Company's outstanding receivables are commercial
accounts and approximately 15% are personal accounts.

     The provision for possible credit losses increased to $99,790 for the
second quarter of 1996 from $89,866 for the second quarter of 1995. This
increase of $9,924 is due primarily to the increase in installment loan
receivables.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's operations are dependent upon the continued availability
of funds on satisfactory terms and rates. The Company uses such funds
principally to finance the origination of installment loans under premium
finance agreements. The Company obtains required funds from a variety of
sources, including internal generation of funds, unsecured borrowings under
lines of credit, direct issuance of commercial paper, placement of
subordinated debt and the sale of common equity.

     As the Company increases the size of its business, it originates more
installment loans receivable than it collects, resulting in a larger
outstanding balance of installment loans receivable. For the six month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company originated installment
loans receivable of $43,227,788 and $33,723,704, respectively, compared to
installment loans collected for each period of $34,114,720 and $27,387,308,
respectively. The result was an increase in outstanding installment loan
receivables to $32,888,913 from $25,354,394 at June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

     The growth in the Company's loan portfolio has been the single largest
factor influencing the Company's cash flow from operations and its need for
financing. The determining factor influencing the growth in the loan
portfolio has been the extent to which the Company has been able to
leverage its capital into subordinated debt and then into short-term senior
debt. For the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, net cash
provided by operating activities was $2,273,671 and $715,264, respectively,
which amounts were comprised primarily of net earnings, loss provisions,
depreciation and amortization and other changes in assets and liabilities.
For the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, net cash provided
by financing activities was $6,143,829 and $5,626,253, respectively,
comprised of proceeds from bank notes and repayment of bank notes, proceeds
from sales and repayments of commercial paper and the net proceeds and
repayments of subordinated debt.

     The following table sets forth the amounts of installment loans
receivable originated and the collections of installment loans receivable
for the periods indicated.

                                                    For the Six Month Period

                                                     ----              ----

Installment loans collected .................    $ 34,114,720      $ 27,387,308

     The Company has no present plans related to significant capital
expenditures. The Company is not aware of any pending legislation that
would have a material effect on its capital requirements or business
prospects.

    The Company is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by certain of
the states in which it is licensed. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires an
insurance premium finance company to have and maintain a minimum net worth of
$50,000. The State of New York requires that insurance premium finance companies
have and maintain equity capital equal to at least 10% of outstandings and, in
any event, not less than $1,500. In addition, the Company is prohibited from
declaring or paying any dividends on its capital stock (other than dividends
payable solely in shares of Common Stock) pursuant to one of the Company's
subordinated debt arrangements which matures on December 27, 2000.

     The sources of funds (other than internal generation of funds and the
sale of common equity) which are presently available or being utilized by
the Company are described below. Management believes that the sources of
funds presently available to the Company are adequate for the conduct of
its business at its present level. To the extent that the Company in the
future expands its business and increases its total installment receivables
outstanding beyond its present levels of funding, the Company will need to
obtain additional sources of funds or expand existing sources of funds,
which may not be available or, if available, may not be on terms acceptable
to the Company.

Lines of Credit

     At June 30, 1996, the Company had unsecured short term lines of credit
aggregating $29,000,000 available through seven commercial banks, under
which $16,900,000 was outstanding. Amounts outstanding under these lines
bear interest at variable rates over LIBOR. The Company pays fees to some
of these banks in connection with these lines. These lines expire on
various dates through June 30, 1997, although there can be no assurance
that these lines will not be revoked, suspended or reduced at any time. No
bank is contractually obligated to renew any such line. During the six
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the maximum aggregate amount
outstanding under these lines at any time was $16,900,000 and $11,100,000,
respectively.


                                   -11-
<PAGE>

Commercial Paper

     The Company directly issues its own commercial paper with maturities
of up to 270 days, which is unsecured and is unrated by commercial paper
rating agencies. Commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 1996 bore
interest at fixed annual rates ranging from 5.94% to 6.70%. During the six
month periods ended June 30, 1996, the maximum outstanding commercial paper
net of prepaid discount at any month end was $2,649,355. Such commercial
paper is generally sold to officers of the Company and their affiliates and
to non-affiliated investors. The Company has obtained no commitments from
any purchaser of its commercial paper regarding additional or future
purchases. It is the Company's policy to maintain unused short-term bank
lines of credit in an amount in excess of the amount of commercial paper
outstanding. The interest rate on the Company's commercial paper has been
and will continue to be determined by reference to prevailing interest
rates in the commercial paper market. The Company does not anticipate any
change in the level of financing provided by affiliates of the Company or
any changes in the costs of financing provided by such affiliates. There
can be no assurance, however, that such levels of financing will be
maintained in the future.

Senior Subordinated Debt

     The Company has obtained unsecured senior subordinated debt in the
amount of $4,010,000 from outside investors. The notes bear interest at a
fixed rate of 12.50% and 14% and are due from November 1, 2000 to March 31,
2001.

     The notes due December 27, 2000 restrict the Company's ability, among
other things, to merge, pay dividends and permit its business to be heavily
concentrated with a single broker or agency. These notes contain various
covenants requiring the Company to meet certain financial ratios and other
restrictions on acquisitions and investments. The Company may, at its
option, prepay the loan in whole or in part. However, with respect to these
notes, the Company must reimburse the investors for any loss of margin on
reemployment of the funds so paid. The Company does not currently
anticipate prepaying or otherwise refinancing its existing senior
subordinated debt prior to its maturity.

     In addition, the Company had obtained unsecured junior subordinated
debt in the amount of $860,000 from various investors. These notes bear
interest at a fixed rate of 12% and 14.25% and are due from February 16,
2001 to June 30,2001. The following table indicates amounts, rates and
maturity dates as of June 30, 1996.

          Rate               Due Date                Amount

     Subordinated debt is generally sold to officers of the Company and
their affiliates and to non-affiliated investors. The Company has obtained
no commitments from any holder of its subordinated debt regarding
additional or future purchases.

Other Potential Sources

     In addition to the sources of funds described above, management
believes that the Company could obtain funds from the sale of finance
receivables or participations in finance receivables to banks. The Company
has in the past participated with banks on a pari passu basis in its
installment paper. There can be no assurance that such sales or
participations could be effected in the future on satisfactory terms, or at
all.

     The Company continually engages in discussions with both current and
prospective lenders regarding obtaining increases, in extensions of or
additions to, both its short-term lines of credit and its subordinated
borrowings. The Company is currently engaged in such discussions with
several lenders, but can give no assurance as to whether or when such
discussions will be favorably consummated.
