ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

BACKGROUND

         PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware
corporation formed in 1994 for the purpose of completing a restructuring of
Presidential Mortgage Company, a California limited partnership (the
"Partnership"). On June 27, 1996, the Company and the Partnership completed the
restructuring (the "Restructuring"), as a result of which all of the assets and
liabilities of the Partnership were transferred to the Company in exchange for
common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock"). Pursuant to the Restructuring,
603,234 shares of Common Stock were issued to partners of the Partnership (other
than partners accepting the "Cash Out Option") for their interests in the
Partnership , and $2,855,600.00 was paid by the Company to partners electing a
"Cash Out Option." As a part of the Restructuring, the Company also sold to the
general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner") 563,333 warrants (the
"General Partner Warrants"), each exercisable until December 27, 1997 for one
share of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $15.00 per share. Concurrently
with the solicitation of consent of the partners of the Partnership for the
Restructuring pursuant to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated May 16, 1996, the
Company made a rights offering to the partners of the Partnership and certain
other related persons of the Partnership (the "Rights Offering"), pursuant to
which a total of 324,628 shares were subscribed for and issued at $10 per share
and 64,893 warrants ("Subscriber Warrants") were also issued to such
subscribers, each exercisable until June 27, 1998 for one share of Common Stock
at an exercise price of $12.50 per share. Pursuant to a Prospectus dated June
24, 1996, the Company also conducted a public offering of additional shares of
Common Stock at $10 per share (the "Public Offering"). A total of 878,210 shares
were issued in the Public Offering, including 114,549 shares in connection with
the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriter of the Public
Offering. The Company issued a total of 1,806,072 shares of Common Stock in
connection with the Restructuring, the Rights Offering and the Public Offering.

         As of March 15, 1997, due to issuance of 53,120 shares of Common Stock
under the Company's Stock Purchase Plan, the issuance of 11,560 shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of incentive stock options, the exercise of 1,583 Subscriber
Warrants and the exercise of 14,270 General Partner Warrants, a total of
1,886,605 shares of Common Stock, 63,310 Subscriber Warrants and 549,063 General
Partner Warrants were outstanding. The shares of Common Stock are listed for
trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "PAMM."

         From the date of its formation in 1981 until 1988, the Partnership's
sole business was the direct origination and servicing of real estate secured
loans under California consumer and commercial finance lender licenses. In 1988,
the Partnership formed Pacific Thrift and Loan Company, a California corporation
("Pacific Thrift"), as a wholly owned subsidiary, to engage

                                        2
<PAGE>   3
in the business of origination, purchase and sale of real estate secured loans
under a California Thrift and Loan License. Pacific Thrift also accepts deposits
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and is therefore
subject to regulation by both the FDIC and the California Department of
Corporations ("DOC"). Since 1990, substantially all new lending activity has
been conducted by Pacific Thrift. The Company also owns another subsidiary,
PacificAmerica Money Centers, Inc., doing business in California as
PacificAmerica Money Center of California ("PacificAmerica Centers"), (formerly
known as PacificAmerica Lending, Inc.), formed for the purpose of engaging in
the lending business under a California finance lender's license and other state
licenses where management deems it appropriate. As of the date hereof,
PacificAmerica Centers has not engaged in significant loan production, but it
may become more active in the future, depending upon business requirements.

         Pursuant to the Restructuring, the Company also acquired substantially
all of the Partnership's interests in three subsidiaries engaged in the trust
deed foreclosure services and posting and publishing businesses, Consolidated
Reconveyance Company ("CRC"), a California limited partnership, Lenders Posting
and Publishing Company ("LPPC"), a California limited partnership, and
Consolidated Reconveyance Corporation ("CRCWA"), a Washington corporation.
Effective December 31, 1996, substantially all of the assets of CRC and LPPC and
all of the stock of CRCWA were sold as part of the Company's strategy to
concentrate all of its financial and human resources on its primary business of
residential lending for securitization.

          The Company's main offices are located at 21031 Ventura Boulevard,
Suite 102, Woodland Hills, California 91364. Its telephone number is (818)
992-8999.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

         THE COMPANY. The Company now acts as a holding company for Pacific
Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers. All of the Company's business operations and
substantially all of its assets are held through these subsidiaries.

         PACIFIC THRIFT. Pacific Thrift is a California licensed Thrift and Loan
Company that commenced business in 1988 and is supervised and regulated by the
DOC and the FDIC. The deposits of Pacific Thrift are insured by the FDIC up to
applicable limits. Pacific Thrift conducts its operations at its main office in
Woodland Hills and produces loans through five loan production offices in
California located in Irvine, San Diego, San Jose, Walnut Creek and West Covina,
as well as six loan production offices located in other states, including
Phoenix, Arizona, Golden, Colorado, Las Vegas, Nevada, Portland, Oregon, Salt
Lake City, Utah, and Bellevue, Washington. In addition, Pacific Thrift
originates loans through 117 commission-based loan representatives (as of
December 31, 1996) who currently operate in 32 states throughout the United
States.

         Pacific Thrift focuses on the origination of "sub-prime" residential
loans to borrowers whose credit histories limit their ability to qualify for
lower rate financing at more credit sensitive financial institutions. Until
mid-1996, Pacific Thrift also originated loans for its own loan portfolio,
including loans secured by residential, multi-family and commercial property.
During

                                        3
<PAGE>   4
1996, Management determined to discontinue originating portfolio loans as part
of its strategy to concentrate all of its financial and human resources on the
origination of loans for sale and securitization. The production of loans for
securitization has continued to increase over the past three years as Pacific
Thrift has steadily expanded its geographic lending areas. As of March 15, 1997,
Pacific Thrift, was authorized to originate loans in 47 states and the District
of Columbia.

          Pacific Thrift does not offer lease financing or credit lines. Pacific
Thrift offers passbook accounts, term certificates and money market
certificates. Pacific Thrift does not offer other traditional banking services,
such as checking accounts, travelers' checks or safe deposit boxes.

         During 1996, Pacific Thrift completed the sale of approximately $26.2
million of portfolio loans and loan participations to two third-party purchasers
as part of its strategy to concentrate its resources on loan origination for
sale and securitization. The largest sale occurred in the fourth quarter of
1996, when the Company completed the sale of approximately $18 million in
commercial loans. The Company reported a net gain (including release of reserve
for loan losses) of approximately $1.0 million in connection with the sale. As a
result of loan sales and the discontinuation of portfolio loan origination
programs, Pacific Thrift's loan portfolio had been reduced to an aggregate
principal balance of $31.8 million at December 31, 1996, from $40.6 million at
December 31, 1995. An additional $10.5 of portfolio loans were reclassified as
loans held for sale at December 31, 1996 and sold in the first two months of
1997.

CRC, CRCWA AND LPPC

         Until the sale of substantially all its assets by the Company as of
December 31, 1996, CRC provided foreclosure related services on real estate
trust deeds, including foreclosure sales and trust deed reconveyances. Until the
sale of substantially all its assets by the Company as of December 31, 1996,
LPPC provided posting and publishing of notices of default and notices of sale
for CRC and other trust deed foreclosure companies. CRC provided services on
trust deeds to over 300 banks, thrifts, mortgage banks, life insurance companies
and federal regulatory agencies located across the country. Approximately
one-third of CRC's revenues were derived from lenders located outside of
California. All of the stock of CRCWA was also sold by the Company as of
December 31, 1996. CRCWA provided foreclosure related services on real estate
trust deeds secured by property located in the State of Washington. Less than 5%
of the revenues of CRC, CRCWA or LPPC were derived from services provided to the
Company and Pacific Thrift.

         Total combined net income of CRC, CRCWA and LPPC was approximately $.4
million, $.9 million and $.9 million for each of the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The total purchase price for the assets and
stock and goodwill of CRC, LPPC and CRCWA was $1.8 million, subject to increase
or decrease in an amount equal to the increase or decrease in the total combined
partners' and shareholders' equity of CRC, LPPC and CRCWA, as shown on the
audited consolidating balance sheets of the Company at December 31, 1996, from
November 30, 1996. The purchase price was reduced by $74,000 pursuant to the
foregoing adjustment provision. As a result of the transaction, the Company
wrote off approximately $.9

                                        4
<PAGE>   5
million of goodwill, and recognized an additional loss of $.1 million on
operations for November and December of 1996.

PACIFICAMERICA CENTERS

         PacificAmerica Centers was formed by the Partnership in 1994 for the
purposes of acquiring the Partnership's directly held loan portfolio and acting
as a licensed lender in California and various other states as management deemed
appropriate. Following the Restructuring in 1996, PacificAmerica Centers became
a licensed California Finance Lender, California Real Estate Broker, licensed
Vermont Lender and licensed New Jersey Mortgage Broker and Secondary Mortgage
Loan Lender. PacificAmerica Centers has also applied or intends to apply for
lending licenses in all of the 47 states in which it is not currently licensed
and the District of Columbia during 1997. PacificAmerica Centers does not
currently have its own staff or separate offices.

         The loan portfolio acquired by PacificAmerica Centers from the
Partnership in the Restructuring consisted primarily of loans originated prior
to 1994 which were not suitable for securitization, and which had an aggregate
principal balance of approximately $7.0 million as of June 30, 1996. In January
1997, the Company sold, with recourse, approximately $2.3 million of this loan
portfolio, at a discount of approximately $44,000 from the net book value of the
loans, less reserves and participations previously sold to the purchaser. The
Company used a portion of the proceeds of this sale to make the final $745,000
payment on the Company's bank loan, and the balance of the proceeds to provide
additional funds for its residential mortgage lending and securitization
business. Pacific Thrift will continue to service the loans for the purchaser,
and the Company has guaranteed the purchaser of the loans against any loss due
to a deficiency in the value of the secured property acquired in foreclosure, a
loss caused by a senior lien holder taking title to the secured property or a
loss after the purchaser determines that legal title to the secured property
cannot be acquired, as well as for losses due to environmental claims,
litigation claims or a default by the Company with respect to certain other
customary representations and warranties.

         As of February 28, 1997, the remaining loan portfolio acquired by
PacificAmerica Centers from the Partnership had an aggregate principal balance
of approximately $2.4 million (net of specific reserves of $.5 million). The
loan portfolio is serviced by Pacific Thrift for a servicing fee of 1.5% per
year of the principal balance of each loan serviced.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

         GENERAL

                  The Company has, for the past three years, originated both
portfolio loans and loans for sale and securitization. In 1996, Management
determined to discontinue the origination of portfolio loans and concentrate all
of its resources on increasing the volume of loans originated for sale and
securitization. The following table sets forth the combined loan originations by
category and purchases, sales and repayments for 1996:

         MORTGAGE BANKING

         The Company is primarily engaged in the business of originating and
selling high-yielding, non-conforming mortgage loans secured by first or second
mortgages on owner-occupied (and, to a lesser extent, non-owner-occupied)
one-to-four family residences. The Company specializes in subprime residential
loans, which consist of A, B, C and D credit quality subprime loans made to
borrowers whose credit histories and/or other factors limit their ability to
qualify for lower financing. At December 31, 1996, loan-to-value ratios on loans
originated for sale range from 36% to 85%, depending upon the programs jointly
established by the Company and purchasers of the Company's loans. Borrowers
typically use loan proceeds to consolidate or refinance existing indebtedness
and other personal uses.

         The Company, through Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers,
originates the majority of its loans through its Wholesale Division, which
employed 83 loan representatives as of February 28, 1997 throughout the United
States, primarily on a commission basis. The Company's Wholesale Division
operates primarily without offices in 32 states as of February 28, 1997, using
experienced personnel as regional managers to supervise up to 15 loan
representatives in each

                                        6
<PAGE>   7
region. The Company seeks to expand its Wholesale Division to 120 loan
representatives during 1997, although there can be no assurance that it will be
successful in reaching this goal.

         The Company and its loan representatives have developed relationships
with over 3,000 independent mortgage brokers throughout the country, who
currently provide a majority of the Company's loan volume. Mortgage loan brokers
act as intermediaries between property owners and the Company in arranging
mortgage loans, and provide a cost effective means of originating loans over a
large geographic area. Management has developed policies and procedures to
service these brokers which emphasize timely decision making and funding and a
competitive fee structure, which encourage brokers to continue bringing new
loans to the Company.

         The Company also intends to expand its loan origination volume through
its Retail Division, which currently employs approximately 52 commission-based
loan representatives and operates 12 loan production offices as of February 28,
1997. The Retail Division seeks to originate loans directly with borrowers
through contacts developed from purchased mailing lists, using telemarketing and
direct mail. The Company seeks to expand its Retail Division to approximately
150 loan representatives during 1997, although there can be no assurance that
this goal will be achieved.

         The following table sets forth selected information relating to loan
originations for sale and securitization (which does not include portfolio loans
or "piggyback loans," which are not originated for sale) during the three years
ended December 31, 1996:

         The Company follows the underwriting guidelines provided by the
entities which purchase loans for securitization in determining whether to
accept or reject each loan application. The purchaser's underwriting guidelines
typically specify the credit quality, loan-to-value, and other requirements of
the purchaser. To assess the credit quality of each loan, the purchasers require
that various factors be considered, including the appraised value of the
collateral property, the applicant's payment history, credit profile, employment
status and the debt-to-income ratio. The Company's appraisal

                                        7
<PAGE>   8
review staff reviews the value of the underlying collateral based on a full
appraisal completed by a licensed independent appraiser. Verification of
personal financial information and credit history may also be required by the
loan purchaser prior to closing the loan. Each purchaser has established its own
credit grading system based on certain borrower characteristics. Each loan
applicant is placed into one of four letter ratings ("A" through "D," with
subratings within some of these categories), depending upon a number of factors
including the applicant's credit history and employment. Interest rates, as well
as the maximum loan-to-value ratios, vary depending upon the classification of
the borrowers.

         LOAN SALES AND SECURITIZATIONS

         The Company sells substantially all of its loan origination volume
through negotiated agreements with larger mortgage lenders. A substantial
majority of the Company's loans originated for sale for the past three years
have been sold to Aames Capital Corporation ("Aames") under agreements providing
for the Company to receive premium payments in cash upon sale, with no
continuing interest in the loans after sale. In the fourth quarter of 1996, the
Company entered new agreements with Aames and with Advanta Mortgage Corporation
and Advanta Mortgage Conduit, Inc. ("Advanta"), pursuant to which the Company
retains the right to receive the excess interest payments ("excess spread") on
its loans above the specified rates paid to holders of certificates in each
securitization pool in which the Company's loans are included, less
securitization and credit enhancement fees expenses, and sponsor and servicing
fees, which excess spread is partially paid as an advance upon the closing of
each securitization and partially paid over the life of the loans. To the extent
that a loss is realized on loans sold by the Company in each pool, losses will
be paid first out of excess spread that would otherwise be paid to the Company
from its interest in the payments.

         Loans sold by the Company for securitization are pooled by the
purchaser with loans originated by other lenders into REMIC trusts in which
various classes of pass-through interests are sold. Each pool is credit enhanced
either through an insurance policy issued by a monoline insurer or through over
collateralization. As a result, the senior interests in each REMIC trust receive
a rating of "AAA" from Standard & Poor's Ratings Group and "Aaa" from Moody's
Investor Service, Inc.

         Pacific Thrift began selling residential loans for securitization to
Aames in 1993. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company and
Pacific Thrift sold $132.5 million and $276.7 million, respectively, of loans to
Aames. Loans sold to Aames from December 1993 through September 1996 were
primarily sold for a cash premium received by Pacific Thrift on the date of sale
and securitization. For loans sold from September 1994 through December 1995, a
small servicing released fee payable over the life of the loans was also
retained by Pacific Thrift. Pacific Thrift had no other continuing interest in
payments made on the loans after the date of sale.

          In October 1996, the Company entered a new agreement with Aames, under
which it agreed to deliver a minimum of $300 million of loans for purchase and
securitization by Aames. Under the 1996 agreement, the Company is entitled to
receive the following payments: (i) principal plus accrued interest for the
loans sold on the date of sale, (ii) interest payments actually

                                        8
<PAGE>   9
received pending each quarterly securitization date, less a servicing fee and
warehousing fee; (iii) an amount equal to the discounted present value of any
interest-only strip sold by Aames representing the premium value of loans sold
by the Company, or its equivalent value as determined by the investment banks
managing the securitization if an interest-only strip is not sold; (iv) an
advance equal to 35% of the present value of the excess spread payments
anticipated to be received by the Company over the life of the loans in each
securitization; and (v) excess spread payments, representing that portion of
the payments received by Aames over the life of each securitization pool for its
residual interest in each securitization that are attributable to loans sold by
the Company, less monthly sponsor and servicing fees and the excess spread
advance plus interest thereon until the advance is repaid to Aames. Payment
obligations of Aames are secured by a guaranty of its parent, Aames Financial
Corporation. In lieu of an interest-only strip sale for the first sales of loans
made under the 1996 agreement with Aames in December 1996, Aames provided a
higher advance payment to the Company representing the present value of the
excess spread payments.

         In March 1997, the loan sale agreement with Aames was amended to
provide that the Company would have no further obligation to deliver minimum
quantities of loans for purchase by Aames. At such time as Aames developed a
home equity line of credit program with slightly higher loan-to-value ratios
than the loan programs currently offered by Aames, the Company has agreed to
sell any loans originated by it under that program to Aames, and the Company may
also sell other loans to Aames in its discretion. In connection with this
amendment, the parties agreed that the purchase price for approximately $15
million of loans previously sold by the Company to Aames but not included in its
December quarter securitization would be adjusted to a cash premium paid in full
as of the date of the amendment in lieu of any rights to "excess spread" on such
loans. The amendment further provides that an additional premium payment for
this $15 million of loans will be paid at such time as the Company has delivered
at least $250 million of loans for purchase by Aames under the 1996 Agreement.

         In 1995, Pacific Thrift began selling loans to Advanta. For the year
ended December 31, 1996, the Company sold $60.9 million of loans to Advanta. As
of December 16, 1996, the Company entered a new loan sale agreement with Advanta
pursuant to which the Company has committed to sell a minimum of $200 million of
residential loans to Advanta by December 31, 1999. The agreement provides for
the Company to receive the following payments: (i) principal plus accrued
interest for the loans sold on the date of sale, (ii) an initial premium payment
equal to a percentage of the principal balance of all loans sold, which is
treated as an advance against future excess spread payments and (iii) additional
payments over the life of the loans sold equal to the excess spread payments
made on such loans above the rates paid to investors in the securitization pools
in which the loans are placed, less the initial premium payment and certain
sponsor and servicer fees. Sales under the new agreement with Advanta are made
as often as twice each week, and the Company has sold $84.1 million of loans to
Advanta under the new agreement between January 1, 1997 and February 28, 1997.

         All loans sold to Aames and Advanta by Pacific Thrift and the Company
for the past three years have been included in securitization pools formed and
serviced by Aames and Advanta, respectively. All loans have been sold on a
nonrecourse basis, except for the obligation to

                                        9
<PAGE>   10
repurchase any loan which does not meet certain customary representations and
warranties, and the obligation to repurchase loans adversely affected by any
breach of general representations and warranties.

         Management of the Company may enter into additional agreements with
other purchasers in the future to sell loans for securitization. In addition,
management may determine to begin sponsoring its own securitization program
after its loan pools have a developed a history of performance which can be used
for rating and credit enhancement purposes.

         To the extent that the Company or one of its subsidiaries originates
loans for sale, it bears an interest rate risk between the loan approval date
and the date that each loan is securitized. However, loans are generally
securitized on a quarterly basis, which reduces the risk of interest rate
fluctuations. In addition, because subprime residential loans have a higher
interest rate spread than prime residential loans, fluctuations in rates which
may occur during the period prior to securitization could reduce the excess
spread anticipated to be retained by the Company upon securitization, but would
not generally be sufficiently large to eliminate the excess spread entirely.
Loans which are held for sale during the period prior to sale are accounted for
at the lower of cost or market value of such loans.

         PORTFOLIO LENDING.

         Until Pacific Thrift began originating loans for securitization in
1994, both the Partnership and Pacific Thrift originated loans for their own
loan portfolios, and generally held and serviced those loans until payoff or
refinancing. All portfolio loans were secured primarily by one-to-four family
residential, multi-family residential, commercial and, to a very minor extent,
undeveloped, real property. In 1996, as volume levels of loans originated for
sale and securitization increased, management determined to terminate portfolio
lending in order to concentrate its resources on loans originated for sale and
securitization. The Company also determined to sell portions of its loan
portfolio to provide additional resources for use in its mortgage banking
business, and completed sales of an aggregate of approximately $26.2 million of
portfolio loans in 1996. The characteristics of the Company's remaining loan
portfolio at December 31, 1996, are described below.

         GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. At December 31, 1996, the Company's loan
portfolio included loans geographically distributed, based on principal loan
balances, approximately 65% in Southern California (south of San Luis Obispo)
and 21% in Northern California, The remaining 14% of all loans were secured by
real property located in other states, primarily New York, Washington, Oregon
and Florida. The Company's portfolio loan policy limits the total dollar amount
of loans and total number of loans made in each zip code area to no more than 5%
of its total outstanding loans.

         COLLATERAL. At each of the dates set forth below the gross loan
portfolio of the Company (net of reserves for loan losses) was collateralized by
the following types of real property:

         LOAN ORIGINATION AND UNDERWRITING. Each portfolio loan made by the
Company (other than "piggyback" loans as described below), was analyzed at
origination based on the loan applicant's credit history and repayment ability.
Portfolio loans generally required credit histories from independent credit
reporting companies and proof of income.

         Since 1995, Pacific Thrift has also made"piggyback loans," which are
residential loans made in tandem with loans originated for sale. Management uses
piggyback loans to enhance the loan products available from some of its loan
purchasers, and thereby increase production of loans originated for sale.
Piggyback loans meet the same credit and documentation requirements as the
companion senior loans originated for sale, except that loan-to-value ratios are
usually 5% higher than the loan-to-value ratios allowed by the purchaser of the
senior loans. To compensate for the higher loan-to-value ratios, Pacific Thrift
provides higher general reserves for piggyback loans. From time to time, Pacific
Thrift sells piggyback loans to third party purchasers. During 1996, Pacific
Thrift sold $5.5 million in piggyback loans, of which $3.8 million were sold for
a discount of approximately 1% of par value and the remaining $1.7 million were
sold at par value. As of December 31, 1996, Pacific Thrift held 1,229 piggyback
loans, with aggregate principal balances of $9,067,000.

    estate held in foreclosure.

       Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers generally rewrite a portfolio
loan at maturity if the borrower makes a new loan application. In cases where
the loan-to-value ratio has declined on an existing loan and no longer meets the
applicable loan-to-value guidelines, the policy is to make an exception and
rewrite the loan.

       A substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio is repriced, pays
off or matures approximately every year. Of the 41% of all loans bearing fixed
rates at December 31, 1996, 5% were due in one year or less. Based upon these
facts, over 63% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 1996, consisted of either
variable rate loans or fixed rate loans which mature within one year. Management
therefore expects that within one year, approximately 63% of the loan portfolio
will be paid off or reprice at the rate in effect on the existing loan at the
time the loan is repriced or the then applicable rate for new or refinanced
loans.

       The initial interest rate on variable rate loans is set as of the date of
origination of each loan based upon the then prevailing reference rate
established by Bank of America. The rate may increase by not less than .125% in
any three-month period, but may not increase by more than five (10 in some
cases) percentage points in the aggregate. Such increases (or decreases, as the
case may be) occur at three-month intervals as the result of changes in the Bank
of America reference rate. Although the interest rate may decrease, it cannot
decrease below the original interest rate set for each loan.

       CLASSIFIED ASSETS AND LOAN LOSSES. The general policy of Pacific Thrift
and PacificAmerica Centers is to discontinue accrual of interest and make a
provision for anticipated loss on a loan when: (i) it is more than two payments
contractually past due and the current estimated loan-to-value ratio is 90% or
more; or (ii) the loan exhibits the characteristics of an in-substance
foreclosure, generally including any loan as to which the borrower does not have
the ability, willingness or motivation to repay the loan. The current estimated
loan-to-value ratios of substantially all delinquent loans are determined by new
independent appraisal or broker price opinions, unless an independent appraisal
was obtained no more than twelve months prior to the monthly review of each
delinquent loan. When a loan is reclassified from accrual to nonaccrual status,
all previously accrued interest is reversed. Interest income on nonaccrual loans
is subsequently recognized when the loan resumes payment or becomes
contractually current as appropriate. Loans which are deemed fully or partially
uncollectible by management are generally fully reserved or charged off for the
amount that exceeds the estimated net realizable value (net of selling costs) of
the underlying real estate collateral. Gains on the sale of real estate acquired
in settlement of loans ("OREO") are not recognized until the close of escrow.

       Unless an extension, modification or rewritten loan is obtained, or a
bankruptcy is filed, the policy of Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers is
to commence procedures for a non-judicial trustee's sale within 30 to 60 days of
a payment delinquency on a loan under the power of sale provisions of the trust
deed securing such loan, as regulated by applicable law. A delinquent loan will
only be rewritten or extended if it can be determined that the borrower has the
ability to repay the loan on the modified terms. The initiation of foreclosure
proceedings against a borrower does not suggest that the recovery of the loan is
dependent solely on the underlying collateral. In fact, many borrowers bring
payments current or undertake other remedies so that a foreclosure sale is not
required.

       The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is
based on a variety of factors, including loan classifications and underlying
loan collateral values, and the level of nonaccrual loans. Therefore, changes in
the amount of nonaccrual loans will not necessarily result in increases in the
allowance for loan losses. The ratio of nonaccrual loans past due 90 days or
more to total loans was 3.81% at December 31, 1996, 1.62% at December 31, 1995
and 5.35% at December 31, 1994. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to
nonaccrual loans past due 90 days or more was 176.76% at December 31, 1996,
533.29% at December 31, 1995 and 136.94% at December 31, 1994.

       The following table sets forth the number and remaining balances of all
loans in the Company's loan portfolio (net of specific reserves for loan losses)
that were more than 30 days delinquent at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

       NONACCRUAL AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS. The following table sets forth the
aggregate amount of loans at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 which were (i)
accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; (ii) accruing loans which are contractually
past due 90 days or more as to principal and interest payments; and (iii)
troubled debt restructurings. Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers follow a
practice of extending or modifying loans in certain circumstances. Loans
modified to reduce interest rates below market rates, to reduce amounts due at
maturity to reduce accrued interest or to loan additional funds are considered
"troubled debt restructurings" as defined in SFAS 15.

         Upon request of a borrower, Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers
have generally granted one to two month extensions of payments during the term
of a loan. In 1996, 10 loans with an aggregate principal balance of $1.15
million were extended. No loan was extended for a term of more than six months.
In 1996, 11 loans with an aggregate principal balance of $1.23 million were
modified and five delinquent loans with an aggregate principal balance of $.5
million were rewritten. Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers apply the same
documentation standards on a rewritten loan as on an original loan. Pacific
Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers make these accommodations only if it can be
determined that the borrower has the ability to repay the loan on the modified
terms. In general, this determination is made based upon a review of the
borrower's current income, current debt to income ratio, or anticipated sale of
the collateral.

         At December 31, 1996, Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers held
OREO (net of specific reserves) of $4.3 million (inclusive of senior liens of
$1.6 million). In accordance with the policy for recognizing losses upon
acquisition of OREO, Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers charge off or
post specific reserves for those portions of the loans with respect to which
OREO has been acquired to the extent of the difference between the loan amount
and the estimated fair value of the OREO. Included in OREO at December 31, 1996
were 13 single-family residences with an aggregate net book value of $1.2
million (inclusive of $.7 million senior liens); five multi-family units with an
aggregate net book value of $1.1 million (inclusive of .6 million senior liens);
10 commercial properties with an aggregate net book value of $1.8 million
(inclusive of .3 million senior liens); and two undeveloped properties with an
aggregate net book value of $.2 million (with no senior liens). For the year
ended December 31, 1996, total expenses on operation, including valuation
allowances, and losses on sale of OREO were $1.0 million and gains on sale of
OREO and OREO income were $.3 million, for a total expense of $.7 million. There
can be no assurance that net losses on the sale of OREO will not be experienced
in the future.

         ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The following is a summary of the changes in
the consolidated allowance for loan losses of Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica
Centers for each of the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994:

         Pacific Thrift uses an asset classification system pursuant to which
every delinquent loan and every performing loan which exhibits certain risk
characteristics is graded monthly, and a general reserve percentage is assigned
to each classification level. Management of Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica
Centers also reviews every delinquent loan on a monthly basis and reviews the
current estimated fair market value of the property securing that loan. To the
extent that the amount of the delinquent loan exceeds the estimated fair market
value of the property, an additional reserve provision is made for that loan.

         Pacific Thrift's current policy is to maintain an allowance for loan
losses equal to the amount determined necessary based upon Pacific Thrift's
asset classification policy, which is written to conform with generally accepted
accounting principles and FDIC requirements. PacificAmerica Center's current
policy is to maintain an allowance for loan losses determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

         Management utilizes its best judgment in providing for possible loan
losses and establishing the allowance for loan losses. However, the allowance is
an estimate which is inherently uncertain and depends on the outcome of future
events. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review Pacific Thrift's allowance for loan
losses. Such agencies could require Pacific Thrift, just as any other
FDIC-insured institution, to post additions to the allowance based upon their
judgment of the information available to them at the time of their examination.

         Implicit in lending activities is the fact that losses will be
experienced and that the amount of such losses will vary from time to time,
depending upon the risk characteristics of the portfolio. The allowance for loan
losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense. The
conclusion that a loan may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a
matter of judgment.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

         Although the Company does not maintain a directly held investment
portfolio, Pacific Thrift does maintain an investment portfolio, which is used
primarily for liquidity purposes and secondarily for investment income. Pacific
Thrift's policy is to invest cash in short-term U.S. government securities or
federal funds sold due in less than 30 days.

                                       16
<PAGE>   17
Overnight federal funds sold are limited to no more than 100% of total capital
at any single financial institution that is either adequately or well
capitalized. If the financial institution is neither adequately nor well
capitalized, the limit is $100,000. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, Pacific
Thrift held investments in federal funds totaling $5.3 million and $7.7 million,
respectively.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

         DEPOSITS. Pacific Thrift's major source of funds is FDIC-insured
deposits, including passbook savings accounts, money market accounts and
investment certificates (similar to certificates of deposit). Pacific Thrift
attracts customers for its deposits by offering rates that are slightly higher
than rates offered by large commercial banks and savings and loans. Pacific
Thrift has no brokered deposits as of the date hereof. Management believes its
deposits are a stable and reliable funding source. At December 31, 1996, Pacific
Thrift had outstanding 2,094 deposit accounts of approximately $81.0 million.

         The following table sets forth the average balances and average rates
paid on each category of Pacific Thrift's deposits for the three years ended
December 31, 1996.

         OTHER BORROWINGS. The Partnership made use of substantial lines of
credit from major banks to fund its loan portfolio growth from 1984 through
1989. The original bank loan provided in 1990 was a revolving credit line of
$105 million, under which the Partnership borrowed a maximum of $82 million
during 1990. The credit line was reduced by mutual agreement in 1991 to $48
million with an $18 million interim loan. In March 1992, the Partnership was
informed that the lender had determined to reduce its exposure to California
real estate secured lending due to the general decline in California real estate
values and increasing delinquency rates. From 1992 through December 1996, the
loan agreement was amended annually to provide for a steady pay down of the
remaining loan balance. The Partnership and the Company continued making regular
paydowns of the balance owed until the Company made the last payment in January
1997.

COMPETITION

         Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers have significant competition
for the origination of subprime mortgage loans from other mortgage companies and
other financial institutions. Some of the these companies are substantially
larger than the Company and have extensive branch systems and advertising
programs which the Company does not have. For the past two years, competition in
the subprime lending market has increased

                                       18
<PAGE>   19
as larger, more traditional mortgage lenders have sought to expand their markets
to include B, C and D loans. Management believes that the over 20 years of
experience of each its senior executive officers in the sub-prime lending market
provide the Company with competitive advantages over new entrants to this
lending market, and that this experience has enabled the Company to
substantially increase new loan originations notwithstanding the increase in
competition.

         Pacific Thrift faces competition for depositors' funds from other
thrift and loans, banks, savings and loans, credit unions, mutual funds and life
insurance annuity products. Pacific Thrift does not offer checking accounts,
travelers' checks or safe deposit boxes and thus has a competitive disadvantage
to commercial banks and savings associations in attracting depositors. Pacific
Thrift compensates for the lack of a full array of services by offering slightly
higher interest rates for deposits than most large banks and savings and loans,
while remaining interest rate competitive with smaller banks, savings and loan
associations and thrift and loans.

EMPLOYEES

         As of December 31, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries had 351
full-time employees, including 117 commission-based loan representatives.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

         Financial and lending institutions are extensively regulated under both
federal and state law. Set forth below is a summary description of the principal
laws which relate to the regulation of Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica
Centers. The description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.

CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS

         Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers are subject to numerous
federal and state consumer protection laws, including the Federal
Truth-In-Lending Act, the Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Federal
Reserve Board's Regulations B and Z. These laws and regulations, among other
things, limit certain finance charges, fees and other charges on loans, require
certain disclosures be made to borrowers and loan applicants, regulate the
credit application and evaluation process and regulate certain servicing and
collection practices. These laws and regulations impose specific liability upon
lenders who fail to comply with their provisions, and may give rise to defense
to payment of a borrower's obligation in the event of a failure to comply with
certain applicable laws. Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers believe they
are currently in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws,
but there can be no assurance that they will be able to maintain such
compliance. The failure to comply with such laws, or a determination by a court
that

                                       19
<PAGE>   20
their interpretation of law was erroneous, could have a material adverse effect
on Pacific Thrift or PacificAmerica Centers.

STATE LAW

         PACIFICAMERICA CENTERS

         PacificAmerica Centers is subject to regulation, supervision and
examination by the DOC under its California Finance Lender Licenses. The
California Finance Lender Law and regulations of the DOC promulgated thereunder
provide maximum charges and fees (although most limitations apply only to loans
under $5,000 or $10,000), provide certain maximum repayment terms for loans
under $5,000, provide certain required disclosure documents to borrowers, limit
sales of loans to certain purchasers, and provide certain penalties for
violations of applicable laws and regulations.

         PACIFIC THRIFT

         Pacific Thrift is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by
the DOC under its California Thrift and Loan License. On July 1, 1997, state
regulatory jurisdiction of Pacific Thrift will be transferred to a new
Department of Financial Institutions ("DFI"), which will regulate all banks,
savings and loans, thrift and loans, and credit unions chartered by the State of
California. The thrift and loan business conducted by Pacific Thrift is governed
by the California Industrial Loan Law and the rules and regulations of the DOC
(DFI as of July 1, 1997) which, among other things, regulate collateral
requirements and maximum maturities of the various types of loans that are
permitted to be made by California-licensed thrift and loan companies.

         Subject to restrictions imposed by applicable California law, Pacific
Thrift is permitted to make secured and unsecured consumer and non-consumer
loans. The maximum term of repayment of loans made by thrift and loan companies
ranges up to 40 years and 30 days depending upon collateral and priority of the
secured position, except that loans with repayment terms in excess of 30 years
and 30 days may not in the aggregate exceed 5% of the total outstanding loans
and obligations of the company. Although secured loans may generally be
repayable in unequal periodic payments during their respective terms, consumer
loans secured by real property with terms in excess of three years must be
repayable in substantially equal periodic payments unless such loans are covered
under the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 (primarily
one-to-four family residential mortgage loans).

         California law limits loans by thrift and loan companies to persons who
do not reside in California to no more than 20% of total assets, or up to 40% of
total assets with approval of the DOC. California law contains extensive
requirements for the diversification of the loan portfolio of thrift and loan
companies. A thrift and loan with outstanding investment certificates may not,
among other things, have more than 25% of its loans or other obligations in
loans or obligations which are secured only partially, but

                                       20
<PAGE>   21
not primarily, by real property; may not make any one loan secured primarily by
improved property which exceeds 20% of its paid-up and unimpaired capital stock
and surplus not available for dividends; may not lend an amount in excess of 5%
of its paid-up and unimpaired capital stock and surplus not available for
dividends upon the security of the stock of any one corporation; may not make
loans to, or hold the obligations of, any one person or control group as primary
obligor in an aggregate principal amount exceeding 20% of its paid-up and
unimpaired capital stock and surplus not available for dividends; and may have
no more than 70% of its total assets in loans which have remaining terms to
maturity in excess of seven years and are secured solely or primarily by real
property.

         A thrift and loan generally may not make any loan to, or hold an
obligation of, any of its directors, officers or any shareholder holding 10% or
more of its shares, or any director or officer or any shareholder holding 10% or
more of the shares of its holding company or affiliates, except in specified
cases and subject to regulation by the DOC. A thrift and loan may not make any
loan to, or hold an obligation of, any of its shareholders or any shareholder or
its holding company or affiliates. There are currently no outstanding loans made
by Pacific Thrift to any officers or directors of the Company or any of its
affiliates. Any person who wishes to acquire 10% or more of the capital stock of
a California thrift and loan company or 10% or more of the voting capital stock
or other securities giving control over management of its parent company must
obtain the prior written approval of the DOC.

         A thrift and loan is subject to certain leverage limitations which are
not generally applicable to commercial banks or savings and loan associations.
In particular, thrift and loans may not have outstanding at any time investment
certificates that exceed 20 times paid-up and unimpaired capital and surplus.
Under California law, thrift and loans that desire to increase their leverage
must meet specified minimum standards for liquidity reserves in cash, loan loss
reserves, minimum capital stock levels and minimum unimpaired paid-in surplus
levels. As approved by the DOC, Pacific Thrift can currently operate with a
ratio of deposits to unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus of up to 15:1.
At December 31, 1996, Pacific Thrift's deposit ratio was 9.1:1.

         Thrift and loan companies are not permitted to borrow, except by the
sale of investment or thrift certificates, in an amount exceeding 300% of
tangible net worth, surplus and undivided profits, without the DOC's prior
consent. All sums borrowed in excess of 150% of tangible net worth, surplus and
undivided profits must be unsecured borrowings or, if secured, approved in
advance by the DOC, and be included as investment or thrift certificates for
purposes of computing the maximum amount of certificates a thrift and loan may
issue. However, collateralized Federal Home Loan Bank advances are excluded for
this test of secured borrowings and are not specifically limited by California
law. Pacific Thrift had no borrowed funds (other than deposits) at December 31,
1996.

         Under California law, thrift and loan companies are generally limited
to investments, other than loans, that are legal investments for commercial
banks. A thrift and loan company may acquire real property only in satisfaction
of debts previously

                                       21
<PAGE>   22
contracted, pursuant to certain foreclosure transactions or as may be necessary
for the transaction of its business, in which case such investment, combined
with all investments in personal property, is limited to one-third of a thrift
and loan's paid-in capital stock and surplus not available for dividends.
Management believes Pacific Thrift was in compliance with these provisions
throughout 1996 and at December 31, 1996.

         Although investment authority and other activities that may be engaged
in by Pacific Thrift generally are prescribed under the California Industrial
Loan Law, certain provisions of FDIC Improvement Act may limit Pacific Thrift's
ability to engage in certain activities that otherwise are authorized under the
California Industrial Loan Law.

FEDERAL LAW

         Pacific Thrift's deposits are insured by the FDIC to the full extent
permissible by law. As an insurer of deposits, the FDIC issues regulations,
conducts examinations, requires the filing of reports and generally supervises
the operations of institutions for which it provides deposit insurance. Among
the numerous applicable regulations are those issued under the Community
Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") to encourage insured state nonmember banks,
such as Pacific Thrift, to meet the credit needs of local communities, including
low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with safety and soundness, and
a rating system to measure performance. Inadequacies of performance may result
in regulatory action by the FDIC. Pacific Thrift received a satisfactory rating
with respect to its CRA compliance in its most recent FDIC compliance
examination completed in November 1995.

         Pacific Thrift is subject to the rules and regulations of the FDIC to
the same extent as all other state banks that are not members of the Federal
Reserve System. The approval of the FDIC is required prior to any merger,
consolidation or change in control, or the establishment or relocation of any
branch office of Pacific Thrift. This supervision and regulation is intended
primarily for the protection of the deposit insurance funds.

         Under provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act and regulations issued by
the FDIC, additional limitations have been imposed with respect to depository
institutions' authority to accept, renew or rollover brokered deposits. Pacific
Thrift does not have any brokered deposits as of the date hereof.

         Pacific Thrift is subject to certain capital adequacy guidelines issued
by the FDIC. See "Federal Law -- Capital Adequacy Guidelines" under this
heading.

         REGULATORY ACTIONS

         In December 1994, the FDIC notified Pacific Thrift that it was
classified as "critically undercapitalized" as of October 31, 1994. Pacific
Thrift had sufficiently restored its regulatory capital ratios from net
operating profits and capital contributions as

                                       22
<PAGE>   23
of April 30, 1995 to be classified as "adequately capitalized" under FDIC
regulations. The FDIC confirmed Pacific Thrift's adequate capitalization by
letter dated May 8, 1995.

         On May 18, 1995, Pacific Thrift entered a stipulated cease and desist
order with the FDIC and the DOC (the "1995 Order") replacing a 1993 Cease and
Desist Order. The terms of the 1995 Order require Pacific Thrift to: have and
retain qualified management; by December 31, 1995, increase and maintain Tier 1
capital (consisting of shareholders' equity) at 8% of its total assets;
eliminate assets classified "loss" as of September 26, 1994; reduce the level of
adversely classified assets; in certain instances, refrain from extending
additional credit to borrowers whose prior credits have been adversely
classified; maintain a fully funded allowance for loan losses; implement Pacific
Thrift's capital restoration and business/profitability plans; correct a past
violation of the thrift ratio requirement and comply with all applicable laws
and regulations; file reports of condition and income which accurately reflect
its financial condition; obtain FDIC approval prior to payment of any cash
dividends; continue to comply with its Policy for Transactions and Relationships
Between Affiliates; obtain FDIC approval before opening additional offices; and
furnish written quarterly progress reports to the FDIC detailing actions taken
to comply with the 1995 Order.

         On April 1, 1996, as a result of its improved capital ratios and
operations, the 1995 Order was terminated and replaced with a Memorandum of
Understanding ("MOU") between Pacific Thrift, the FDIC and the DOC. This
informal agreement provides that Pacific Thrift shall: (i) maintain Tier I
capital of 8% or more of its total assets; (ii) maintain an adequate reserve for
loan losses, which shall be reviewed quarterly by its board of directors; (iii)
eliminate assets classified "loss" as of September 30, 1995, reduce assets
classified "substandard" as of September 30, 1995 to not more than $4,000,000
within 180 days, and reduce all assets classified substandard, doubtful and loss
to no more than 50% of capital and reserves by September 30, 1996; (iv) obtain
FDIC approval before opening additional offices; (v) develop strategies to
stabilize its net interest margin on portfolio loans and develop procedures to
implement these strategies; and (vi) furnish written quarterly progress reports
to the FDIC detailing actions taken to comply with the MOU.

         Management of Pacific Thrift believes that it is in full compliance
with the terms of the 1996 MOU. As of December 31, 1996, Pacific Thrift has
increased its capital ratios to the levels which meet the regulatory definition
of "well capitalized," the highest regulatory capital level. However, since the
1996 MOU contains a provision requiring the maintenance of a certain capital
level (which it currently meets), Pacific Thrift is currently classified as
"adequately capitalized" under the regulations.

         RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS OF FUNDS TO AFFILIATES BY PACIFIC THRIFT

         There are statutory and regulatory limitations on the amount of
dividends which may be paid to the Company by Pacific Thrift. Under California
law, a thrift and loan is not permitted to declare dividends on its capital
stock unless it has at least $750,000 of unimpaired capital plus additional
capital of $50,000 for each branch office maintained.

                                       23
<PAGE>   24
In addition, no distribution of dividends is permitted unless: (i) such
distribution would not exceed a thrift's retained earnings; or, (ii) in the
alternative, after giving effect to the distribution, (a) the sum of a thrift's
assets (net of goodwill, capitalized research and development expenses and
deferred charges) would be not less than 125% of its liabilities (net of
deferred taxes, income and other credits), or (b) current assets would be not
less than current liabilities (except that if a thrift's average earnings before
taxes for the last two years had been less than average interest expenses,
current assets must not be less than 125% of current liabilities).

         In addition, a thrift and loan is prohibited from paying dividends from
that portion of capital which its board of directors has declared restricted for
dividend payment purposes. The amount of restricted capital maintained by a
thrift and loan provides the basis of establishing the maximum amount that a
thrift may lend to a single borrower and determines the amount of capital that
may be counted by the thrift for purposes of calculating the thrift to capital
ratio. Pacific Thrift has, in the past, restricted as much capital as necessary
to support its level of assets. The board of directors of Pacific Thrift may
unrestrict all or any portion of its equity in the future for dividends to the
Company, provided that Pacific Thrift remains adequately capitalized.

         The FDIC also has authority to prohibit Pacific Thrift, just as any
other FDIC- insured institution, from engaging in what, in the FDIC's opinion,
constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting its business. It is
possible, depending upon the financial condition of the bank in question and
other factors, that the FDIC could assert that the payment of dividends or other
payments might, under some circumstances, be such an unsafe or unsound practice.
Further, the FDIC has established guidelines with respect to the maintenance of
appropriate levels of capital by banks under their jurisdiction. Compliance with
the standards set forth in such guidelines and the restrictions that are or may
be imposed under the prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIC Improvement
Act could limit the amount of dividends which Pacific Thrift may pay to the
Company. See "Capital Standards" under this heading for a discussion of these
additional restrictions on capital distributions.

         Pacific Thrift, just as any other FDIC-insured institution, is subject
to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on any extensions of credit to,
or the issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on behalf of, the Company or
other affiliates, the purchase of or investments in stock or other securities
thereof, the taking of such securities as collateral for loans and the purchase
of assets of the Company or other affiliates. Such restrictions prevent the
Company and other affiliates from borrowing from Pacific Thrift unless the loans
are secured by marketable obligations of designated amounts. Further, such
secured loans and investments by Pacific Thrift to or in the Company or to or in
any other affiliate is limited to 10% of Pacific Thrift's capital and surplus
(as defined by federal regulations) and such secured loans and investments are
limited, in the aggregate, to 20% of Pacific Thrift's capital and surplus (as
defined by federal regulations). In addition, any transaction with an affiliate
of Pacific Thrift must be on terms and under circumstances that are
substantially the same as a comparable transaction with a non-affiliate.
Additional

restrictions on transactions with affiliates may be imposed on Pacific Thrift,
just as any other FDIC-insured institution, under the prompt corrective action
provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act. Management believes that Pacific Thrift
is in compliance with all provisions regarding transactions with affiliates.

         CAPITAL STANDARDS

         The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have adopted risk-based minimum
capital guidelines intended to provide a measure of capital that reflects the
degree of risk associated with a depository institution's operations for both
transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets and transactions, such as
letters of credit and recourse arrangements, which are recorded as off balance
sheet items. Under these guidelines, nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit
equivalent amounts of off balance sheet items are multiplied by one of several
risk adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for assets with low credit
risk, such as certain U.S. Treasury securities, to 100% for assets with
relatively high credit risk, such as business loans.

         A depository institution's risk-based capital ratios are obtained by
dividing its qualifying capital by its total risk adjusted assets. The
regulators measure risk-adjusted assets, which includes off balance sheet items,
against both total qualifying capital (the sum of Tier 1 capital and limited
amounts of Tier 2 capital) and Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists primarily
of common stock, retained earnings, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock
(cumulative perpetual preferred stock for bank holding companies) and minority
interests in certain subsidiaries, less most intangible assets. Tier 2 capital
may consist of a limited amount of the allowance for possible loan and lease
losses, cumulative preferred stock, long term preferred stock, eligible term
subordinated debt and certain other instruments with some characteristics of
equity. The inclusion of elements of Tier 2 capital is subject to certain other
requirements and limitations of the federal banking agencies. The federal
banking agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-
adjusted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted
assets of 4%. At December 31, 1996, Pacific Thrift's total risk-based capital
ratio was 11.87%

         In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal banking regulators
require depository institutions to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital
to total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio. For a depository institution
rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate
depository institutions, the minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total
assets is 3%. For all depository institutions not rated in the highest category,
the minimum leverage ratio must be at least 100 to 200 basis points above the 3%
minimum, or 4% to 5%. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines
and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the regulators have the
discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific
institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios. At
December 31, 1996, Pacific Thrift's leverage ratio was 8.67%.


                                       25
<PAGE>   26
         In January 1995, the federal banking agencies issued a final rule
relating to capital standards and the risks arising from the concentration of
credit and nontraditional activities. Institutions which have significant
amounts of their assets concentrated in high risk loans or nontraditional
banking activities and who fail to adequately manage these risks, will be
required to set aside capital in excess of the regulatory minimums. The federal
banking agencies have not imposed any quantitative assessment for determining
when these risks are significant, but have identified these issues as important
factors they will review in assessing an individual bank's capital adequacy.

         In December 1993, the federal banking agencies issued an interagency
policy statement on the allowance for loan and lease losses which, among other
things, establishes certain benchmark ratios of loan loss reserves to classified
assets. The benchmark set forth by such policy statement is the sum of (a)
assets classified loss; (b) 50 percent of assets classified doubtful; (c) 15
percent of assets classified substandard; and (d) estimated credit losses on
other assets over the upcoming 12 months. Management believes that Pacific
Thrift is in compliance with these requirements.

         Federally supervised banks and savings associations are currently
required to report deferred tax assets in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The
federal banking agencies issued final rules, effective April 1, 1995, which
limit the amount of deferred tax assets that are allowable in computing an
institution's regulatory capital. The standard has been in effect on an interim
basis since March 1993. Deferred tax assets that can be realized for taxes paid
in prior carryback years and from future reversals of existing taxable temporary
differences are generally not limited. Deferred tax assets that can only be
realized through future taxable earnings are limited for regulatory capital
purposes to the lesser of (i) the amount that can be realized within one year of
the quarter-end report date, or (ii) 10% of Tier 1 Capital. The amount of any
deferred tax in excess of this limit would be excluded from Tier 1 Capital and
total assets and regulatory capital calculations. Management believes that
Pacific Thrift is in compliance with these requirements.

         Future changes in regulations or practices could further reduce the
amount of capital recognized for purposes of capital adequacy. Such a change
could affect the ability of Pacific Thrift, just as any other FDIC-insured
institution, to grow and could restrict the amount of profits, if any, available
for the payment of dividends.

         The following table presents the capital ratios for Pacific Thrift, as
of December 31, 1996, compared to the regulatory capital requirements for well
capitalized institutions.

         PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION AND OTHER ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS

         Federal law requires each federal banking agency to take prompt
corrective action to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions,
including but not limited to those that fall below one or more prescribed
minimum capital ratios. The law required each federal banking agency to
promulgate regulations defining the following five categories in which an
insured depository institution will be placed, based on the level of its capital
ratios: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.

         In September 1992, the federal banking agencies issued uniform final
regulations implementing the prompt corrective action provisions of federal law.
An insured depository institution generally will be classified in the following
categories based on capital measures indicated below:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                  <C>
         "Well capitalized"                          "Adequately capitalized"
         ------------------                          ------------------------
         Total risk-based capital of 10%;            Total risk-based capital of 8%;
         Tier 1 risk-based capital of 6%; and        Tier 1 risk-based capital of 4%; and
         Leverage ratio of 5%.                       Leverage ratio of 4% (3% if the institution receives the
                                                     highest rating from its primary regulator)

         "Undercapitalized"                          "Significantly undercapitalized" 
         ------------------                          --------------------------------
         Total risk-based capital less than 8%;      Total risk-based capital less than 6%; 
         Tier 1 risk-based capital less than 4%; or  Tier 1 risk-based capital less than 3%; or 
         Leverage ratio less than 4% (3% if the      Leverage ratio less than 3%. 
         institution receives the highest rating 
         from its primary regulator)

         "Critically undercapitalized"
         -----------------------------
         Tangible equity to total assets less 
         than 2%.
</TABLE>

         An institution that, based upon its capital levels, is classified as
"well capitalized," "adequately capitalized" or "undercapitalized" may be
treated as though it were in the next lower capital category if the appropriate
federal banking agency, after notice and opportunity for hearing, determines
that an unsafe or unsound condition or an unsafe or unsound practice warrants
such treatment. At each successive lower capital category, an insured depository
institution is subject to more restrictions. The federal banking agencies,
however, may not treat an institution as "critically undercapitalized" unless
its capital ratio actually warrants such treatment.

         The law prohibits insured depository institutions from paying
management fees to any controlling persons or, with certain limited exceptions,
making capital distributions if after such transaction the institution would be
undercapitalized. If an insured depository institution is undercapitalized, it
will be closely monitored by the appropriate federal banking agency, subject to
asset growth restrictions and required to obtain prior regulatory

                                       27
<PAGE>   28
approval for acquisitions, branching and engaging in new lines of business. Any
undercapitalized depository institution must submit an acceptable capital
restoration plan to the appropriate federal banking agency 45 days after
becoming undercapitalized. The appropriate federal banking agency cannot accept
a capital plan unless, among other things, it determines that the plan (i)
specifies the steps the institution will take to become adequately capitalized,
(ii) is based on realistic assumptions and (iii) is likely to succeed in
restoring the depository institution's capital. In addition, each company
controlling an undercapitalized depository institution must guarantee that the
institution will comply with the capital plan until the depository institution
has been adequately capitalized on an average basis during each of four
consecutive calendar quarters and must otherwise provide adequate assurances of
performance. The aggregate liability of such guarantee is limited to the lesser
of (a) an amount equal to 5% of the depository institution's total assets at the
time the institution became undercapitalized or (b) the amount which is
necessary to bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards
applicable to such institution as of the time the institution fails to comply
with its capital restoration plan. Finally, the appropriate federal banking
agency may impose any of the additional restrictions or sanctions that it may
impose on significantly undercapitalized institutions if it determines that such
action will further the purpose of the prompt correction action provisions.

         An insured depository institution that is significantly
undercapitalized, or is undercapitalized and fails to submit, or in a material
respect to implement, an acceptable capital restoration plan, is subject to
additional restrictions and sanctions. These include, among other things: (i) a
forced sale of voting shares to raise capital or, if grounds exist for
appointment of a receiver or conservator, a forced merger; (ii) restrictions on
transactions with affiliates; (iii) further limitations on interest rates paid
on deposits; (iv) further restrictions on growth or required shrinkage; (v)
modification or termination of specified activities; (vi) replacement of
directors and/or senior executive officers; (vii) prohibitions on the receipt of
deposits from correspondent institutions; (viii) restrictions on capital
distributions by the holding companies of such institutions; (ix) required
divestiture of subsidiaries by the institution; or (x) other restrictions as
determined by the appropriate federal banking agency. Although the appropriate
federal banking agency has discretion to determine which of the foregoing
restrictions or sanctions it will seek to impose, it is required to force a sale
of voting shares or merger, impose restrictions on affiliate transactions and
impose restrictions on rates paid on deposits unless it determines that such
actions would not further the purpose of the prompt corrective action
provisions. In addition, without the prior written approval of the appropriate
federal banking agency, a significantly undercapitalized institution may not pay
any bonus to its senior executive officers or provide compensation to any of
them at a rate that exceeds such officer's average rate of base compensation
during the 12 calendar months preceding the month in which the institution
became undercapitalized.

         Further restrictions and sanctions are required to be imposed on
insured depository institutions that are critically undercapitalized. For
example, a critically undercapitalized institution generally would be prohibited
from engaging in any material transaction other than in the ordinary course of
business without prior regulatory approval and could not,

                                       28
<PAGE>   29
with certain exceptions, make any payment of principal or interest on its
subordinated debt beginning 60 days after becoming critically undercapitalized.
Most importantly, however, except under limited circumstances, the appropriate
federal banking agency, not later than 90 days after an insured depository
institution becomes critically undercapitalized, is required to appoint a
conservator or receiver for the institution. The board of directors of an
insured depository institution would not be liable to the institution's
shareholders or creditors for consenting in good faith to the appointment of a
receiver or conservator or to an acquisition or merger as required by the
regulator.

         In addition to measures taken under the prompt corrective action
provisions, commercial depository institutions may be subject to potential
enforcement actions by the federal regulators for unsafe or unsound practices in
conducting their businesses or for violations of any law, rule, regulation or
any condition imposed in writing by the agency or any written agreement with the
agency. Enforcement actions may include the imposition of a conservator or
receiver, the issuance of a cease and desist order that can be judicially
enforced, the termination of insurance of deposits (in the case of a depository
institution), the imposition of civil money penalties, the issuance of
directives to increase capital, the issuance of formal and informal agreements,
the issuance of removal and prohibition orders against institution-affiliated
parties and the enforcement of such actions through injunctions or restraining
orders based upon a judicial determination that the agency would be harmed if
such equitable relief was not granted.

         SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS STANDARDS

         In July 1995, the federal banking agencies adopted final guidelines
establishing standards for safety and soundness, as required by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). The guidelines
set forth operational and managerial standards relating to internal controls,
information systems and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit
underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and compensation, fees and
benefits. Guidelines for asset quality and earnings standards will be adopted in
the future. The guidelines establish the safety and soundness standards that the
agencies will use to identify and address problems at insured depository
institutions before capital becomes impaired. If an institution fails to comply
with a safety and soundness standard, the appropriate federal banking agency may
require the institution to submit a compliance plan. Failure to submit a
compliance plan or to implement an accepted plan may result in enforcement
action.

         In December 1992, the federal banking agencies issued final regulations
prescribing uniform guidelines for real estate lending. The regulations, which
became effective on March 19, 1993, require insured depository institutions to
adopt written policies establishing standards, consistent with such guidelines,
for extensions of credit secured by real estate. The policies must address loan
portfolio management, underwriting standards and loan to value limits that do
not exceed the supervisory limits prescribed by the regulations.


                                       29
<PAGE>   30
         Appraisals for "real estate related financial transactions" must be
conducted by either state certified or state licensed appraisers for
transactions in excess of certain amounts. State certified appraisers are
required for all transactions with a transaction value of $1,000,000 or more;
for all nonresidential transactions valued at $250,000 or more; and for
"complex" 1-4 family residential properties of $250,000 or more. A state
licensed appraiser is required for all other appraisals. However, appraisals
performed in connection with "federally related transactions" must now comply
with the agencies' appraisal standards. Federally related transactions include
the sale, lease, purchase, investment in, or exchange of, real property or
interests in real property, the financing or refinancing of real property, and
the use of real property or interests in real property as security for a loan or
investment, including mortgage-backed securities.

         PREMIUMS FOR DEPOSIT INSURANCE

         Pacific Thrift's deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC generally up
to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured depositor, and Pacific Thrift,
like all FDIC- insured institutions, is subject to FDIC deposit insurance
assessments. Pursuant to FDICIA, the FDIC adopted a risk-based system for
determining deposit insurance assessments under which all insured institutions
were placed into one of nine categories and assessed annual insurance premiums,
ranging from $2,000 to 0.27% of insured deposits, based upon their level of
capital and supervisory evaluation. Because the FDIC sets the assessment rates
based upon the level of assets in the insurance fund, premium rates rise and
fall as the number and size of bank failures increases and decreases,
respectively. Under the system, institutions are assigned to one of three
capital groups which is based solely on the level of an institution's capital -
"well capitalized," "adequately capitalized" and "undercapitalized" - which are
defined in the same manner as the regulations establishing the prompt corrective
action system under Section 38 of FDIA, as discussed in "-- Capital Standards."
These three groups are then divided into three subgroups which reflect varying
levels of supervisory concern, from those which are considered to be of minimal
supervisory concern to those which are considered to be of substantial
supervisory concern.

         INTERSTATE BANKING AND BRANCHING

         In September 1994, the Riegel-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Act") became law. Under the Interstate
Act, beginning one year after the date of enactment, a bank holding company that
is adequately capitalized and managed may obtain approval under the BHCA to
acquire an existing bank located in another state without regard to state law. A
bank holding company would not be permitted to make such an acquisition if, upon
consummation, it would control (a) more than 10% of the total amount of deposits
of insured depository institutions in the United States or (b) 30% or more of
the deposits in the state in which the bank is located. A state may limit the
percentage of total deposits that may be held in that state by any one bank or
bank holding company if application of such limitation does not discriminate
against out-of-state banks. An out-of-state bank holding company may not acquire
a state bank in existence

                                       30
<PAGE>   31
for less than a minimum length of time that may be prescribed by state law
except that a state may not impose more than a five year existence requirement.

         The Interstate Act also permits, beginning June 1, 1997, mergers of
insured banks located in different states and conversion of the branches of the
acquired bank into branches of the resulting bank. Each state may permit such
combinations earlier than June 1, 1997, and may adopt legislation to prohibit
interstate mergers after that date in that state or in other states by that
state's banks. The same concentration limits discussed in the preceding
paragraph apply. The Interstate Act also permits a national or state bank to
establish branches in a state other than its home state if permitted by the laws
of that state, subject to the same requirements and conditions as for a merger
transaction.

         In October 1995, California adopted "opt in" legislation under the
Interstate Act that permits out-of-state banks to acquire California banks that
satisfy a five-year minimum age requirement (subject to exceptions for
supervisory transactions) by means of merger or purchases of assets, although
entry through acquisition of individual branches of California institutions and
de novo branching into California are not permitted. The Interstate Act and the
California branching statute will likely increase competition from out-of-state
banks in the markets in which Pacific Thrift operates, although it is difficult
to assess the impact that such increased competition may have on Pacific
Thrift's operations.

         COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT AND FAIR LENDING DEVELOPMENTS

         Pacific Thrift, just as all other mortgage lenders, is subject to
certain fair lending requirements and reporting obligations involving home
mortgage lending operations and Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") activities.
The CRA generally requires the federal banking agencies to evaluate the record
of a financial institution in meeting the credit needs of their local
communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. In addition to
substantial penalties and corrective measures that may be required for a
violation of certain fair lending laws, the federal banking agencies may take
compliance with such laws and CRA into account when regulating and supervising
other activities. The FDIC has rated Pacific Thrift "satisfactory" in complying
with its CRA obligations.

         In May 1995, the federal banking agencies issued final regulations
which change the manner in which they measure a depository institution's
compliance with its CRA obligations. The final regulations adopt a
performance-based evaluation system which bases CRA ratings on an institution's
actual lending service and investment performance rather than the extent to
which the institution conducts needs assessments, documents community outreach
or complies with other procedural requirements. In March 1994, the Federal
Interagency Task Force on Fair Lending issued a policy statement on
discrimination in lending. The policy statement describes the three methods that
federal agencies will use to prove discrimination: (i) overt evidence of
discrimination; (ii) evidence of disparate treatment and (iii) evidence of
disparate impact.

         POTENTIAL ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS.

         Insured depository institutions, such as Pacific Thrift, and their
institution-affiliated parties, which include the Company, may be subject to
potential enforcement actions by the FDIC and the DOC for unsafe or unsound
practices in conducting their businesses or for violations of any law, rule,
regulation or any condition imposed in writing by the agency or any written
agreement with the agency. Enforcement actions may include the imposition of a
conservator or receiver, the issuance of a cease-and-desist order that can be
judicially enforced, the termination of insurance of deposits and with respect
to Pacific Thrift and the Company, could also include the imposition of civil
money penalties, the issuance of directives to increase capital, the issuance of
formal and informal agreements, the issuance of removal and prohibition orders
against institution-affiliated parties and the imposition of restrictions and
sanctions under the PCA provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act. Management knows
of no pending or threatened enforcement actions against Pacific Thrift.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

         The Company, Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Centers do business at
their main offices in Woodland Hills, California. Pacific Thrift also does
business at five loan production offices in California located in Irvine, San
Diego, San Jose, Walnut Creek and West Covina, as well as six loan production
offices located in other states, including Phoenix, Arizona, Golden, Colorado,
Las Vegas, Nevada, Portland, Oregon, Salt Lake
City, Utah and Bellevue, Washington.

         All of the offices at which the Company and its subsidiaries conduct
business are leased. With the exception of the Woodland Hills, Walnut Creek and
Irvine offices, all of the offices are on short-term leases of 18 months or
less. Information with respect to the Woodland Hills, Walnut Creek and Irvine
offices as of December 31, 1996 is as follows:

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to certain legal
proceedings incidental to its lending business and to its trust deed foreclosure
service businesses which were sold as of December 31, 1996. Some of these
actions seek unspecified damages or substantial monetary damages in the form of
punitive damages. The ultimate outcome of such litigation cannot presently be
determined. Management, after review and consultation with counsel, and based
upon historical experience with prior actions, has determined that the outcome
of such proceedings would not have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.

         In addition to actions incidental to its business, the Company and/or
its subsidiaries are parties to the following actions.


                                       33
<PAGE>   34
         Foreclosure Services Actions. On June 6, 1995, CRC and LPPC were served
with a complaint by Consumer Action and two consumers suing both individually
and on behalf of the general public in an unfair business practices action filed
in the Superior Court of Contra Costa County, California. The complaint named
CRC and LPPC, along with thirteen other foreclosure service and foreclosure
publishing companies, and alleges that all named defendants charge fees in
excess of the statutorily permitted amount for publication of notices of trustee
sales. The complaint seeks restitution of all excess charges, an injunction
against the charging of excessive fees in the future and attorneys fees. In
January 1996, LPPC and two other posting and publishing companies were dismissed
from the action without prejudice. As of March 20, 1996, a tentative global
settlement of the action had been reached, pursuant to which CRC would pay
damages in an amount immaterial to the Company as a whole. There can be no
assurance that the settlement will be concluded, or that damages in any
litigation that might ensue would not be material to the Company.

         In 1996, CRC was served with a complaint by seven individuals suing
both individually and on behalf of the general public in a purported class
action filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California. The
complaint names over 50 defendants, including numerous title insurance companies
and trust deed services companies, generally alleging that the title insurance
companies did not make certain refunds of certain trustee sale guarantee fees
("TSGs") which they were required to make under the terms of a settlement of a
previous case (in which CRC was not named), and that the trust deed services
companies failed to purchase less costly alternative products, to request and
remit refunds in the cost of TSGs or to advise the members of the class of their
right to a refund from the title insurance companies. As of March 20, 1996, the
court had sustained CRC's demurrer to the complaint, as well as other trustees'
demurrers and motions for judgment on the pleadings, and the plaintiffs had been
given 20 days to file an amended complaint. At this time, there is no way to
determine the exact nature and extent of damages, which will not be able to be
specified until the amended complaint has been filed. Management believes,
however, based upon consultation with its counsel in this action, that any
liability that may incurred by CRC in this action would be immaterial to the
Company as a whole.

         As part of the agreement to sell the assets of CRC and LPPC, the
Company has retained substantially all of any liability that may result from
these two actions.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

         Since June 25, 1996, the Company's Common Stock has been traded on the
Nasdaq National Market. The high and low sales prices for the Common Stock
during the third and fourth quarters of 1996, as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market, were as follows:

<TABLE>

<S>                                         <C>            <C>
                  Third Quarter             $22.25         $13.00

                  Fourth Quarter            $32.00         $21.75
</TABLE>

         On March 21, 1997, the closing sale price for the Common Stock reported
on the Nasdaq National Market was $30.00 per share.

         As of March 15, 1997, there were approximately 1,500 shareholders of
the Common Stock, including the beneficial holders whose shares are held of
record by brokerage firms and clearing agencies.

DIVIDEND POLICY

         The Company, which was recently organized, has never paid a cash
dividend on its Common Stock. The Company's ability to pay dividends is subject
to restrictions set forth in the Delaware General Corporation law. The Delaware
Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may pay dividends either
(i) out of the corporation's surplus (as defined in Delaware law), or (ii) if
there is no surplus, out of the corporation's net profits for the fiscal year in
which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. However,
pursuant to Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law, under
certain circumstances, certain provisions of the California General Corporation
Law may be applied to foreign corporations qualified to do business in
California, which may reduce the amount of dividends payable by the Company.

         Since the Company derives a substantial amount of its revenues from
Pacific Thrift, a California corporation, California law and FDIC regulations
with respect to dividends will have a substantial effect on the Company's
ability to pay dividends. Under California law, a corporation is prohibited from
paying dividends unless (i) the retained earnings of the corporation immediately
prior to the distribution exceeds the amount of the distribution; (ii) the
assets of the corporation exceed 1-1/4 times its liabilities; or (iii) the
current assets of the corporation exceed its current liabilities, but if the
average pretax net earnings of the corporation before interest expense for the
two years preceding the distribution was less than the average interest expense
of the corporation for those years, the current assets of the corporation must
exceed 1-1/4 times its current liabilities.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
preceding Selected Financial Data and the Company's Financial Statements and the
Notes thereto and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Report.
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements which always 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 those set forth below under the heading "Forward
Looking Statements."

         On June 27, 1996, the Company completed the Restructuring with the
Partnership, which was accounted for as a change in legal organization but not
in the enterprise of the Partnership. Therefore, the financial statements of the
Company give effect to the Restructuring as a recapitalization of the
Partnership into the Corporation. References to the Company in this Report refer
to the financial condition and results of operations of the Partnership on a
consolidated basis for all periods prior to June 27, 1996.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         GENERAL

         Overview. The Company, through its subsidiaries Pacific Thrift and
PacificAmerica Centers, is engaged in the business of originating, purchasing
and selling mortgage loans secured primarily by one-to-four family residences.
The Company's primary source of revenue is the recognition of gains upon sale of
loans. Most loans sold by the Company until the fourth quarter of 1996 were sold
for a cash premium received on the date of sale. Beginning in the fourth quarter
of 1996, the Company began selling loans under agreements providing that it
would retain an interest in the purchasers' residual interest in excess spread
in each securitization pool in which the Company's loans were placed. The
Company recognizes gain from the sale of these loans as the present value of the
interest-only strips, if any and/or excess spread in which it retains interests
under its agreements with the purchasers of the loans.

         Loan Originations. The Company has increased its loan origination
volume from $171.0 million during 1994 to $373.5 million during 1996,
representing a growth rate of 118.4% over this two year period. This increase in
loan origination volume was primarily due to the expansion of the Company's
lending operations from one state (California) in 1994 to over 30 states by
December 31, 1996. As of February 28, 1997, the Company, through Pacific Thrift
and PacificAmerica Centers, was authorized to conduct its lending business in 49
states and the District of Columbia and had lending operations established in 32
states.

         Until the sale of the assets of CRC and LPPC and the stock of CRCWA as
of December 31, 1996, the Company operated two business segments: the subprime
residential mortgage lending business and the trust deed foreclosure services
business. See Note 18 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The
Company's primary business has always been subprime residential mortgage
lending, and in November 1996, the Company determined to sell CRC, LPPC, and
CRCWA in order to devote all of its financial and human resources to its
primary lending business.

         AT DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 1995.

                  Total consolidated assets of the Company increased $32.0
million (38.6%) to $114.9 million at December 31, 1996 from $82.9 million at
December 31, 1995. The increase

                                       39
<PAGE>   40
resulted primarily from increases in a receivable for mortgage loan sales,
excess yield receivable and deferred income taxes, partially offset by decreases
in loans receivable, cash and cash equivalents, and goodwill. A receivable for
mortgage loan sales of $24.3 million was held at December 31, 1996 for a pool of
loans sold to Advanta, which was paid in January 1997; no similar item was held
in 1995. Excess yield receivable increased $9.0 million, to $11.7 million from
$2.7 million, due to the Company's retention of an interest in excess spread on
loans sold for securitization under agreements with Aames and Advanta. See
"Business -- Lending Activities - Loan Sales and Securitizations." The deferred
income tax asset increased by $4.3 million to $5.0 million at December 31,
1996, due primarily to an income tax net operating loss carryforward and
reversal of a valuation reserve. Loans receivable decreased $10.4 million
(23.7%) to $33.5 million from $43.9 million, due to the Company's strategic
decision to cease portfolio lending in 1996 and sell portfolio loans to raise
additional funds for its mortgage banking business. Cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $1.9 million (18.1%) to $8.6 million from $10.5 million, due to
timing of payments for loan sales in December. Goodwill decreased $1.8 million
(100%) due to the sale of CRC, LPPC and CRCWA.

         Total liabilities increased $18.8 million (25.3%) to $93.0 million at
December 31, 1996 from $74.2 million at December 31, 1995. The increase resulted
from an increase in total thrift certificates payable and deferred income tax
liability, partially offset by declines in note payable, accounts payable and
partnership withdrawals payable. Total thrift certificates payable increased
$20.8 million (34.5%), to $81.0 million from 60.2 million, reflecting increased
issuance of thrift certificates to fund Pacific Thrift's lending operations. The
deferred income tax liability increased by $4.3 million because of temporary
differences between when an income tax liability is accrued for financial
statement purposes and the date that income taxes are due and payable to the
income tax authorities. Note payable decreased $3.5 million (51.5%) to $3.3
million from $6.8 million, due to pay downs of the bank loan in 1996 offset by
an advance on excess yield of $2.6 million from Aames, which will be repaid from
excess spread payments on loans sold by the Company to Aames for securitization.
The remaining balance of $745,000 on the bank loan was completely paid off in
January 1997. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $1.8 million
(45.0%), to $2.2 million from $4.0 million, due to the sale of CRC. Partnership
withdrawals payable of $1.1 million were paid off in 1996 immediately following
the Restructuring.

         Total stockholders' equity increased $13.3 million, due to consolidated
net income of $4.2 million in 1996 and the net proceeds of the Company's Rights
Offering and Public Offering in 1996.


         AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 1994.

         Total consolidated assets of the Partnership decreased $20.8 million
(20.1%) to $82.9 million at December 31, 1995 from $103.7 million at December
31, 1994. The decrease resulted primarily from declines in cash and cash
equivalents, loans receivable, accounts receivable, OREO and interest
receivable, offset by increases in excess yield receivable. Loans receivable
decreased by $9.1 million (17.2%), to $43.9 million from $53.0 million, as a
result of loan pay offs and loan sales. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by
$9.1 million (46.4%), to $10.5 million from $19.6 million. Accounts receivable
declined by $1.8 million (35.3%) to $3.3 million at December 31, 1995 from $5.1
million at

                                       40
<PAGE>   41
December 31, 1994. Excess yield receivable increased $1.8 million, (200.0%) to
$2.7 million from $.9 million due to sales of loans for which Pacific Thrift
receives a servicing release fee over the life of the loans sold. See "BUSINESS
- -- Lending Activities -- Loans Originated for Sale." OREO declined by $4.5
million (59.2%), to $3.1 million at December 31, 1995 from $7.6 million at
December 31, 1994, reflecting sales of OREO. Interest receivable declined by $.2
million (18.2%), to $.9 million from $1.1 million, primarily due to the
reduction of the loan portfolio.

         Total liabilities decreased $19.1 million (20.5%) to $74.2 million at
December 31, 1995 from $93.3 million at December 31, 1994. The decrease resulted
from declines in notes payable, thrift certificates payable, accounts payable,
accrued expenses and interest payable and mortgages payable on OREO. Notes
payable decreased by $8 million (54.1%), to $6.8 million from $14.8 million, due
to pay down of the Bank Loan. Thrift certificates payable decreased by $9.3
million (13.4%) to $60.2 million from $69.5 million, reflecting the reduction in
total assets of Pacific Thrift. Accounts payable, accrued expenses and interest
payable decreased by $.4 million (7.1%), to $5.2 million from $5.6 million,
primarily due to a $.4 million reduction in accrued expenses for the
environmental remediation of OREO acquired by Pacific Thrift after receiving a
lower bid for completion of the work. Mortgages payable on OREO decreased by
$1.7 million (73.9%), to $.6 million from $2.3 million, due to sale of OREO.

         Total Partnership capital decreased by $1.7 million (16.3%) to $8.7
million from $10.4 million, due to consolidated net losses of $1.7 million
incurred during the year ended December 31, 1995. The consolidated net loss was
comprised of a $5.8 million net loss of Presidential, partially offset by a $3.2
million net profit after tax provision of Pacific Thrift, a $.6 million net
profit of CRC and a $.3 million net profit of LPPC.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

         GENERAL

         The Company reported net income of $4.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996, compared with a net loss of $1.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995. The increase in net income is due primarily to a $20.3
million increase in gain on sale of loans in 1996, which has resulted from
steady increases in the Company's loans originations over the past year. Net
interest income also increased $2.1 million for the year ended December 31,
1996, primarily due to an increase in total interest income resulting from the
Company's retention of interest income on loans originated for sale prior to the
date of their securitization.

         INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

         Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $2.1
million (47.7%), to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $4.4
million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Total interest income increased
$1.9 million (19.8%), to 11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 from
$9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 as

                                       41
<PAGE>   42
a result of interest accrued on loans originated and sold. Interest expense
decreased $.2 million (3.8%), to $5.0 million for the year ended December 31,
1996 from $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, due to declines in
interest rates paid on thrift certificates, partially offset by an increase in
total outstanding thrift certificates.

         PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses decreased $2.1 million (63.6%), to $1.2
million for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $3.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995, reflecting a $10.4 million decrease in the total amount
of portfolio loans held during 1996.

         The calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is
based on a variety of factors, including loan classifications and underlying
loan collateral values, and is not directly proportional to the level of
nonperforming loans. See "BUSINESS -- Classified Assets and Loan Losses."

         NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

         Total noninterest income (not including income of CRC, LPPC and CRCWA,
which are reflected as discontinued operations due to their sale in 1996)
increased $20.6 million (219.1%), to $30.0 million for the year ended December
31, 1996 from $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Income from
discontinued operations was $.4 million in 1996 compared to $.9 million in 1995.
In addition, the Company incurred a $1.0 million loss on the sale of CRC, LPPC
and CRCWA, primarily from a write-off of related goodwill. The primary source of
the increase was the $20.3 million increase in gain on sale of loans, to $29.2
from $8.9 million. Total noninterest expense (not including expenses of CRC,
LPPC and CRCWA, which are reflected as discontinued operations due to their sale
in 1996) increased $14.6 million (102.1%) to $28.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1995, due
to expansion of the Company's mortgage banking business which required the
addition of more employees and office space. Salary and related benefits
increased $8.6 million (143.3%) to $14.6 million from $6.0 million, and general
and administrative expenses increased $6.8 million (130.8%), to $12.0 million
from $5.2 million, because of expanded mortgage banking activities. Expense on
operation of OREO decreased $.5 million (41.7%), to $.7 million from $1.2
million.

         INCOME TAXES (BENEFIT)

         Income tax expense from continuing operations was $1.7 million in
1996, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.2 million in 1995. During 1996,
the Company reversed valuation allowances for deferred tax assets totaling $1.7
million, based upon events and earnings in 1996 which management believes
indicate it is more likely than not that sufficient revenue will be generated
in the future to use these deferred tax assets. See Note 8 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information.

         YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

         GENERAL

         The Company incurred a net loss of $1.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995, compared with a net loss of $9.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994. For 1995, the loss before income tax benefit and income from
discontinued operations was $3.8 million and the net loss was $1.7 million,
reflecting a tax benefit of $1.2 million due to Pacific Thrift's use of net
operating loss carryforwards. Pacific Thrift had remaining net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $4.0 million at December 31, 1995. There was no
income tax benefit from loss carryforwards in 1994.

         NET INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

         Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased by $2.1
million (32.3%), to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared
to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, as a result of the
reduction in total interest income and increase in total interest expense. Total
interest income decreased by $1.8 million (15.8%), to $9.6 million for 1995
compared to $11.4 million for 1994, due to reductions in the loan portfolio as
assets were reduced to improve capital ratios in Pacific Thrift and pay down the
bank loan. Total interest expense increased by $.3 million (6.1%), to $5.2
million for 1995 compared to $4.9 million for 1994, due to higher market
interest rates paid on thrift certificates by Pacific Thrift, which offset lower
levels of deposits and a reduction in the bank loan.

         PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses was $3.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995, compared to $6.1 million for the year ended December 31,
1994. The total allowance for loan losses was $4.2 million at December 31, 1995,
compared with $4.3 million at December 31, 1994, reflecting sales and payoffs of
loans on which reserves were previously taken and status improvements in some
portfolio loans.

         The calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is
based on a variety of factors, including loan classifications and underlying
loan collateral values, and is not directly proportional to the level of
nonperforming loans. See "BUSINESS -- Classified Assets and Nonperforming Loans
- -- Allowance for Loan Losses." The ratio of nonaccrual loans past due 90 days or
more to total loans was 1.62% at December 31, 1995, compared to 5.35% at
December 31, 1994. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual
loans past due 90 days or more was 533.29% at December 31, 1995, compared to
136.94% at December 31, 1994.

         NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

         Total noninterest income (not including income of CRC, LPPC and CRCWA,
which are reflected as discontinued operations due to their sale in 1996),
increased by $7.3 million (347.6%), to $9.4 million for the year ended December
31, 1995 compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, due to
increases in gains on sale of loans by Pacific Thrift. Gains on sale of loans
increased by $8.0 million (888.9%), to $8.9 million for 1995 compared to $.9
million for 1994. Pacific Thrift sold a total of $155.4 million of loans during
1995, for a total gain on sale of $8.4 million. These sales included $145
million of securitizable loans, for a gain on sale of $8.6 million, $8.9 million
of portfolio loans, for a gain on sale of $.2 million and $2.0 million of home
improvement loans, sold at a gain of $.1 million. Other income decreased by $.6
million (54.5%), to $.5 million for 1995 compared to $1.1 million for 1994.


                                       43
<PAGE>   44
         Noninterest expense (not including expenses of CRC, LPPC and CRCWA,
which are reflected as discontinued operations due to their sale in 1996)
increased by $1.4 million (10.9%), to $14.3 million for 1995 compared to $12.9
million for 1994. Increases in noninterest expense were primarily due to
increases in salaries, employee benefits and personnel services and operations
of OREO, partially offset by declines in general and administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $.6 million (10.3%) to $5.2
million for 1995 compared to $5.8 million for 1994. Salaries, employee benefits
and personnel services increased by $1.2 million (25.0%) to $6.0 million for
1995 compared to $4.8 million for 1994. Expenses on OREO increased by $.5
million (71.4%) to $1.2 million for 1995 compared to $.7 million for 1994. The
Company recognized net losses on sales of OREO of $.7 million for 1995 and net
gains of $.4 million for 1994.


NET INTEREST INCOME ANALYSIS

         The following table sets forth certain information concerning average
interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and the yields and
rates thereon. Average balances are calculated on a quarterly basis and
nonaccrual loans have been included in interest earning assets for the
computations. Fee income on loans included in interest income and in the
calculation of average yields was $.3 million, $.7 million and $1.7 million for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

           Interest income and interest expense can fluctuate widely based on
changes in the level of interest rates in the economy. Pacific Thrift attempts
to minimize the effect of interest rate fluctuations on net interest margins by
matching as nearly as possible interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive
liabilities. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Asset/Liability Management."

           Net interest income can also be affected by a change in the
composition of assets and liabilities, such as when higher yielding loans
replace lower yielding loans. Net interest income is affected by changes in
volume and changes in rates. Volume changes are caused by differences in the
level of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Rate changes result
from differences in yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities.

           The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest
income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities due to changes in volume and interest rates. For
each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume; (i.e.,
changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e. changes
in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes
attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated, have been
allocated proportionately to changes due to volume and changes due to rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

           At December 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalent assets totaled $8.6
million, compared with $10.5 million at December 31, 1995. The Company's primary
operating cash requirements include the funding or payment of: (i) loan
originations; (ii) fees and expenses incurred in connection with
securitizations; (iii) income taxes; (iv) capital expenditures; and (v) other
operating and administrative expenses. The Company generates cash flow from
loans sold for securitization, whole loan sales, principal payments and
interest income on portfolio loans, and sale of OREO. In addition, on June 27,
1996, the Company completed a Rights Offering and a Public Offering of Common
Stock as a part of the Restructuring, which raised net cash proceeds of $11.4
million.

           The Company expects to continue to depend on advances on its interest
in excess spread in securitized loans to fund its cash operating requirements.
Several factors affect the Company's ability to complete sales of its loans for
securitization, including conditions in the securities markets generally,
conditions in the residential sub-prime securitization market specifically, the
credit quality of the Company's portfolio of loans and the Company's ability to
credit enhance its loans to a level sufficient to obtain investment grade
ratings for interests in securitization pools in which its loans are placed.

           The Company believes that the net proceeds of the Rights Offering and
the Public Offering, together with the proceeds of loan sales, net interest
income and the issuance of deposits by Pacific Thrift, will be sufficient to
fund the Company's liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.

           Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in one year or
less from December 31, 1996 totaled $56.3 million. Based upon historical
experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits may
be renewed to the extent deemed desirable by management. In general, depositors
have historically tended to renew deposits when the rates paid on such deposits
remain competitive with rates offered by comparable financial institutions. From
time to time during 1994 and 1995, management of Pacific Thrift intentionally
took steps to reduce deposit renewals in order to reduce the total amount of
deposits. These steps included reducing the interest rates offered on maturing
deposits and declining to renew certain large deposits.

           Pacific Thrift maintains minimum levels of liquid assets as required
under the liquidity policy adopted by the board of directors of Pacific Thrift.
The relationship between short-term liquid assets and total deposits at December
31, 1996 was 49.0%, which exceeded the 10% minimum established by the Board. At
December 31, 1995 and 1994, the liquidity ratio was 31.7% and 26.9%,
respectively.

           Pacific Thrift has a federal funds credit line with Wells Fargo Bank,
bearing interest at the federal funds rate as announced from time to time by the
Federal Reserve Board, in the amount of $5.0 million. The line is intended to
support short term liquidity, and is not expected to be used for more than ten
consecutive days or more than 12 times during any 30

                                       47

day period. At December 31, 1996, there were no outstanding borrowings under the
credit line.

         Pacific Thrift is subject to certain leverage and risk-based capital
adequacy standards applicable to FDIC-insured institutions. At December 31,
1994, Pacific Thrift was classified by the FDIC as "undercapitalized." However,
by March 31, 1995, Pacific Thrift was reclassified by the FDIC as "adequately
capitalized." As of December 31, 1996, Pacific Thrift's regulatory capital
levels have increased to levels meeting the FDIC's definition of "well
capitalized;" however, due to the existence of the MOU requiring Pacific Thrift
to maintain certain capital levels, it is still classified as "adequately
capitalized." See "SUPERVISION AND REGULATION -- Federal Law -- Capital Adequacy
Guidelines."

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

         The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the
extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by
monitoring an institution's "interest rate sensitivity gap". An asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if
it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity
gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets
anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within a
specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities anticipated,
based upon certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within that same time
period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive
assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is
considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities
exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising
interest rates, a negative gap would generally tend to adversely affect net
interest income while a positive gap would generally tend to result in an
increase in net interest income. During a period of declining interest rates, a
negative gap would generally tend to result in increased net interest income
while a positive gap would generally tend to adversely affect net interest
income. At December 31, 1996, total interest-earning assets maturing or
repricing during each period exceeded total interest-bearing liabilities
maturing or repricing in the same periods by $7.5 million, representing a
positive cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap ratio of 10%. However, because
interest rates for different asset and liability products offered by depository
institutions respond differently to changes in the interest rate environment,
the gap is only a general indicator of interest rate sensitivity.

           Pacific Thrift actively monitors its interest rate risk. Pacific
Thrift has an asset/liability committee which includes its President, Chief
Financial Officer and Deposit Operations Manager. The Board or Directors of
Pacific Thrift reviews interest rate risk position on a monthly basis.

           To the extent consistent with its interest rate spread objectives,
Pacific Thrift attempts to reduce its interest rate risk and has taken a number
of steps to match its interest sensitive assets and liabilities to minimize the
potential negative impact of changing interest rates. Pacific Thrift has focused
on making adjustable rate loans, virtually all of which adjust quarterly, and
focuses its investment activity on short-term obligations of banks and U.S.
government securities.

           The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of
Pacific Thrift's assets and liabilities at December 31, 1996 on the basis of
certain assumptions. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and
liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were
determined in accordance with the earlier of the repricing timing or contractual
term of the asset or liability. Pacific Thrift has assumed that its savings
accounts (passbook accounts and money market accounts), which totaled $24.7
million at December 31, 1996 reprice immediately. Certificates of deposit are
included in the table below at their dates of maturity.

           Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented
in the following table. For example, interest rate floors on some adjustable
rate loans can have the effect of increasing the net interest income as interest
rates decline or, conversely, limiting increases in net interest income as
interest rates rise. Also, loan prepayments and early withdrawal of certificates
of deposit could cause the interest sensitivities to vary from what appears in
the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable
rate debt may be adversely affected by an interest rate increase.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

           The financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing
power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected
in the increased cost of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. Like
most mortgage companies and industrial loan companies, nearly all the assets and
liabilities of the Company and Pacific Thrift are monetary. As a result,
interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's consolidated performance
than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of
goods and services.

EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

           In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS 107")
"Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." SFAS 107 requires all
entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and
liabilities recognized and not recognized in the statement of financial
condition, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. SFAS 107 is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1995, for entities with
less than $150 million in total assets, as of its December 1991 issuance date.
The adoption of SFAS 107 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.

           In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan." SFAS No. 114 applies to all loans except large groups
of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for
impairment, loans measured at fair value or a lower of cost or fair value,
leases, and debt securities as defined in SFAS No. 115. SFAS No. 114 requires
that impaired loans be valued at the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient,
at the loan's observable market price or the fair market value of the collateral
if the loan is collateral dependent. SFAS No. 114 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1994, with earlier adoption encouraged. SFAS No.
114 applies primarily to the loan portfolio. The Company actively monitors this
portfolio and evaluates the net realizable value of any loan which is deemed to
be impaired. Net realizable value is assessed based upon current appraised value
of the underlying collateral. If carrying value exceeds this estimated
realizable value, carrying value is reduced to the estimated realizable value by
a charge to earnings. As such, SFAS No. 114 does not represent a material change
from the Company's prior accounting practices and did not have a material effect
on the reported financial results of the Company.

           In October, 1994, the FASB issued SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." SFAS
No. 118 amends Statement No. 114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for
recognizing interest income



                                       50
<PAGE>   51
on impaired loans and also amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No.
114 to require information about the recorded investment in certain impaired
loans and about how a creditor recognizes interest income related to these
impaired loans. SFAS No. 118 is effective concurrent with the effective date of
Statement 114, that is, for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1994. As with Statement No. 114, management believes it is
following the requirements of SFAS No. 118.

           In March, 1995, the FASB used SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the
impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed of."
SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the entity should
estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and
its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of
the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Otherwise, an impairment loss is
not recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and
identifiable intangibles that an entity expects to hold and use should be based
on the fair value of the asset. This Statement is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Earlier
application is encouraged. Restatement of previously issued financial statements
is not permitted. Impairment losses resulting from the application of this
Statement should be reported in the period in which the recognition criteria are
first applied and met. The initial application of this Statement to assets that
are being held for disposal at the date of adoption should be reported as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The adoption of SFAS 121
did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

           In May, 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65." SFAS No. 122 requires
that a mortgage banking enterprise recognize as separate assets rights to
service mortgage loans for others, however those servicing rights are acquired.
A mortgage banking enterprise that acquires mortgage servicing rights through
either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells or securitizes
those loans with servicing rights retained should allocate the total cost of the
mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the
mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values if it is
practicable to estimate those fair values. If it is not practicable to estimate
the fair values of the mortgage servicing rights and the mortgage loans (without
the mortgage servicing rights), the entire cost of purchasing or originating the
loans should be allocated to the mortgage loans (without the mortgage servicing
rights) and no cost should be allocated to the mortgage servicing rights. This
Statement requires that a mortgage banking enterprise assess its capitalized
mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of those
rights. A mortgage banking enterprise should stratify its mortgage servicing
rights that are capitalized after the adoption of this Statement based on one or
more of the predominant risk characteristics of the



                                       51
<PAGE>   52
underlying loans. Impairment should be recognized through a valuation allowance
for each impaired stratum.

           This Statement applies prospectively in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995, to transactions in which a mortgage banking enterprise sells
or securitizes mortgage loans with servicing rights retained and to impairment
evaluations of all amounts capitalized as mortgage servicing rights, including
those purchased before the adoption of this Statement. Earlier application is
encouraged. Retroactive capitalization of mortgage servicing rights retained in
transactions in which a mortgage banking enterprise originates mortgage loans
and sells or securitizes those loans before the adoption of this Statement is
prohibited. The effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 122 was not material to the
Company, primarily because the Company sells all of its loans on a servicing
released basis.

           In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 establishes a method of accounting for
stock compensation plans based on fair value of grants made under such plans on
the date of grant using certain option-pricing models. SFAS No. 123 allows
companies to continue to account for their stock option plans in accordance with
APB Opinion 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," which provides for an
intrinsic valuation model that recognizes only the difference between the fair
market value of a company's stock and the price paid to acquire the stock under
the stock compensation plan. However, SFAS No. 123 encourages the adoption of
the fair value accounting method. Companies electing not to follow the new fair
value based method are required to provide expanded footnote disclosures,
including pro forma net income and earnings per share, determined as if the
company had applied the new method. SFAS No. 123 is required to be adopted
prospectively beginning January 1, 1996. Management has accounted for grants
under the Company's stock option plan under the intrinsic value method allowed
under APB Opinion 25 and has provided the footnote disclosure required by SFAS
No. 123 in its financial statements included elsewhere herein.

           In 1966, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities." SFAS No. 125 provides accounting and reporting
standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of
liabilities based on consistent application of a financial components approach
that focuses on control. SFAS No. 125 applies to transactions occurring after
December 31, 1996. The adoptment of SFAS No. 125 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

SEASONALITY

           The Company's results of operations have not been materially affected
by seasonality.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

           The discussion in this Report contains certain forward-looking
statements. Actual future results could differ materially from those described
in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors discussed below. The
Company cautions the reader, however, that these lists of risk factors may not
be exhaustive. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the
results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to
reflect any future events or circumstances.

           RELIANCE ON PRIMARY LOAN PURCHASERS. The Company sells loans for
securitization primarily to Aames and Advanta. If sales to either or both of
these purchasers were discontinued, there can be no assurance that agreements
with new purchasers would be as favorable as current arrangements with Aames and
Advanta.

           RELIANCE ON CONTINUING SECURITIZATIONS. The Company has been able to
substantially increase its lending volume as a direct result of its ability to
sell for securitization substantial amounts of its new loan production. Any
change in the market for securitized subprime residential loans could have an
adverse impact the Company's ability to continue to increase or maintain the
growth of its mortgage banking business.

           COMPETITION IN THE LENDING INDUSTRY. The subprime residential
mortgage industry is undergoing consolidation and increased competition, which
may reduce profit margins on the Company's lending business and may also have an
adverse impact the Company's ability to continue to increase or maintain the
growth of its mortgage banking business.

           EXPOSURE TO INTEREST RATE RISK. Significant reductions in interest
rates may change the prepayment rates, and accordingly impact the excess spread
received by the Company on loans sold by it to Aames and Advanta. In addition,
the Company's profitability on portfolio loans may be adversely affected by
rapid changes in interest rates.

           RISKS OF REAL PROPERTY SECURED LENDING. In the subprime residential
mortgage business, lenders rely upon low loan-to-value ratios to provide
realizable value in collateral used to secure loans. However, the liquidation
value of real property collateral may be adversely affected by a number of
factors, including general economic conditions, regional economic conditions,
natural disasters, environmental contamination and governmental regulation.

           GOVERNMENT REGULATION. Pacific Thrift is subject to extensive
governmental supervision, regulation and control. See "BUSINESS - Supervision
and Regulation."

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
        FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

           On September 12, 1995, the Company dismissed Ernst & Young LLP
("E&Y") as independent certified public accountants of the Company and its
subsidiaries, and engaged BDO Seidman LLP ("BDO") as independent certified
public accountants of the Company and its subsidiaries. E&Y has not reported on
the Company's financial statements for the past two years.

           In 1995, there was a disagreement between the Company and E&Y
concerning the scope of the work necessary to be performed by E&Y in connection
with a proposed restructuring of the Company, including procedures and issues
raised with respect to the allowance for loan losses, deferred tax asset and
other transactions recorded by the Company in its unaudited financial
information as of June 30, 1995. Prior to resolving the disagreement, the
client-auditor relationship was terminated by the Company.

           The Company discussed the subject matter of the disagreement with
E&Y, and authorized E&Y to respond fully to all inquiries of BDO, the Company's
successor accountants, concerning the subject matter of the disagreement.

           Prior to the engagement of BDO as the independent accountants for the
Company and its subsidiaries, the Company did not consult BDO concerning the
application of accounting principles to any specified transaction or any matter
that was the subject of a disagreement with E&Y or a reportable event.

INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Stockholders
PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc.
(formerly Presidential Mortgage Company,
         a California Limited Partnership)


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PacificAmerica
Money Center, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) (formerly
Presidential Mortgage Company, a California Limited Partnership) as of December
31, 1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes
in stockholders' equity/partners' capital, and cash flows for the years then
ended. 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 PacificAmerica Money
Center, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the two years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.


Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole. The consolidating information in
Schedules I, II, III and IV is presented for the purpose of additional analysis
of the consolidated financial statements rather than to present the financial
position and results of operations of the individual companies. The
consolidating information in Schedules I, II, III and IV has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied to the audit of the consolidated financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

To the Partners
Presidential Mortgage Company


We have audited the consolidated statements of operations, changes in partner's
capital, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1994, of Presidential
Mortgage Company (the Partnership) and subsidiaries (collectively, the
Company). 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 1994 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the results of the Company operations
and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole. The consolidating information in
Schedule V is presented for the purpose of additional analysis of the
consolidated financial statements rather than to present the results of
operations of the individual companies. The consolidating information in
Schedule V has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied to the audit
of the consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the
Company has suffered losses from nonperforming loans that, combined with other
factors, resulted in significant recurring losses from operations. As discussed
in Note 7, the Partnership is subject to substantial debt service and other
requirements of the note payable to its lender.

As discussed in Notes 19 and 20, at October 31, 1994, the Partnership's wholly
owned subsidiary, Pacific Thrift and Loan Company (Pacific Thrift), was
considered to be "critically undercapitalized" under the Prompt Corrective
Action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
of 1991 because its tangible and leverage capital ratios fell below 2%. As a
result of such designation, Pacific Thrift was subject to severe restrictions on
its activities. At December 31, 1994, Pacific Thrift was no longer considered 
to be "critically undercapitalized," but still did not meet the minimum 
capital requirements to be considered "adequately capitalized" by the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Also at December 31, 1994, Pacific Thrift
had a deficiency in its net worth, based on requirements of the California 
Financial Code and the California Department of Corporations (DOC). As a result
of its capital designation, Pacific Thrift was required to submit a capital 
restoration plan, including a guarantee by the Partnership, to the FDIC. In 
addition, Pacific Thrift consented to a new comprehensive Order to Cease and
Desist (the new C&D) by the FDIC and DOC. 

The new C&D requires that Pacific Thrift take various actions, including
significantly increasing its leverage capital ratio to 8% by September 30, 1995.
Failure to implement the capital restoration plan and meet the capital
requirements of the new C&D would expose Pacific Thrift to various regulatory
actions, including the risk of regulatory takeover. These matters raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are discussed in Notes 1 and
20.

Note 12 indicates management's description of certain litigation in which
allegations of securities fraud and aiding and abetting in the breach of
fiduciary duty have been made against the Partnership and its Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) by investors in companies affiliated with the Partnership until
1984. Management denies these allegations, states that they are without merit,
and represents that any claims are barred by applicable statutes of limitation.
Counsel for both the Partnership and CEO have stated that they are unable to
provide an opinion as to the outcome of the litigation. 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
provisions or adjustments which might result from the outcome of the
uncertainties discussed above.

1.    GENERAL

ORGANIZATION

On June 27, 1996, PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc., (the "Corporation" or
"Company") a Delaware Corporation, formed in 1994 as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Presidential Mortgage Company, and Presidential Mortgage Company, a
California limited partnership (the "Partnership") completed a Restructuring
Plan dated May 1, 1996 (the "Restructuring"), whereby all of the assets and
liabilities of the Partnership were transferred to the Corporation in exchange
for common stock of the Corporation (the "Common Stock"). The Common Stock was
distributed to the partners of the Partnership, pro rata in accordance with
their capital accounts in the Partnership. In accordance with the terms of the
Restructuring Plan, the consent of a majority of limited partners to the
Restructuring Plan was solicited pursuant to a Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated
May 14, 1996, and the consent of approximately 75% of all limited partners was
obtained by June 17, 1996, the expiration of the solicitation period. Every
limited partner was given the right to elect to receive cash in lieu of shares
of the Corporation (the "Cash Out Option"), in an amount equal to $10 per share
times the number of shares that would have been received by that partner based
on their capital account in the Partnership. Pursuant to the Restructuring Plan,
603,234 shares of Common Stock were issued to partners of the Partnership (other
than partners accepting the Cash Out Option) for their interests in the
Partnership and $2,855,600 was paid by the Corporation to partners electing the
Cash Out Option.

Also pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Plan, Presidential Management
Company, the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner")
purchased 563,333 warrants ("General Partner Warrants") for a purchase price of
$385,000. The General Partner Warrants are each exercisable for one share of
Common Stock at a purchase price of $15.00 per share from June 27, 1996 until
December 27, 1997. The General Partner Warrants are nontransferable, except to
and between partners of the General Partner.

ORGANIZATION (Continued)

Concurrently with the solicitation of consent pursuant to the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus dated May 16, 1996, all partners of the Partnership,
together with all partners of the General Partner, and all officers, directors,
proposed directors and employees of the Partnership, all of its subsidiaries and
the Corporation, were given the right to purchase additional shares of Common
Stock (the "Rights Offering") at a purchase price of $10 per share. A total of
324,628 shares were subscribed for and issued in the Rights Offering. For every
five shares subscribed for in the Rights Offering, a subscriber also received
one warrant ("Subscriber Warrants"). A total of 64,925 Subscriber Warrants were
issued in connection with the Rights Offering, each exercisable from June 27,
1996 until June 27, 1998, for one share of Common Stock at a purchase price of
$12.50 per share.

Pursuant to a Prospectus dated June 24, 1996, the Corporation also conducted a
public offering of additional shares of Common Stock at $10 per share (the
"Public Offering"). A total of 878,210 shares were issued in the Public
Offering, including 114,549 shares in connection with the exercise of an
over-allotment option by the underwriter of the Public Offering.

The Corporation issued a total of 1,806,072 shares of Common Stock in connection
with the Restructuring Plan, the Rights Offering and the Public Offering. The
shares of Common Stock were listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market
under the symbol "PAMM." Trading in the stock commenced on June 25, 1996.

Concurrently with the closing of the Restructuring, the Rights Offering and the
Public Offering on June 27, 1996, the Partnership filed certificates of
dissolution and liquidation with the California Secretary of State.

1.    GENERAL
      (CONTINUED)

ORGANIZATION (Continued)

The Restructuring has been accounted for as a change in legal organization but
not in the enterprise of the Partnership. Therefore, the financial statements of
the Corporation give effect to the Restructuring as a recapitalization of the
Partnership into the Corporation. References to the Corporation in the financial
statements refer to the financial condition and results of operations of the
Partnership on a consolidated basis for all periods prior to June 27, 1996.


From the date of its formation in 1981 until 1988, the Partnership's sole
business was the direct origination and servicing of real estate secured loans
under California consumer and commercial finance lender licenses. In 1988, the
Partnership formed Pacific Thrift and Loan Company, a California corporation
("Pacific Thrift"), as a wholly owned subsidiary, to engage in the business of
origination, purchase and sale of real estate secured loans under a California
thrift and loan license. Pacific Thrift also issues deposits insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and is therefore subject to
regulation by both the FDIC and the California Department of Corporations. Since
1990, substantially all new lending activity has been conducted by Pacific
Thrift. In recent years, the Company has been primarily engaged in mortgage
banking activities and as such originates and sells mortgage loans to investors
in the secondary markets. The Company's ability to continue to originate loans
is dependent, in part, upon its ability to sell loans in the secondary market in
order to generate cash proceeds for new origination. The value of and market for
the Company's loans are dependent upon a number of factors, including general
economic conditions, interest rates and governmental regulations. Adverse
changes in such factors may affect the Company's ability to sell loans for
acceptable prices within reasonable periods of time. A prolonged, substantial
reduction in the size of the secondary market for loans of the types originated
by the Company may adversely affect the Company's ability to sell loans with a
consequent adverse impact on the Company's profitability and ability to fund
future originations which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position and results of operations.

1.    GENERAL
      (CONTINUED)

ORGANIZATION (Continued)

The Company also owns another subsidiary, PacificAmerica Lending, Inc. ("PAL"),
formed for the purpose of engaging in the lending business under a California
finance lender's license and other state licenses where management deems it
appropriate. Immediately after the restructuring the Company contributed net
assets of $2,920,000 to PAL at book value. As of the date hereof, PAL has not
engaged in significant loan production, but it may become more active in the
future, depending upon business requirements.

Pacific Thrift focuses on the origination of residential real estate loans to
borrowers whose credit histories and/or other factors limit their ability to
qualify for lower-rate financing at more credit sensitive financial
institutions. Such loans are generally referred to in the lending industry as
"sub-prime" or "B"/"C" credit loans. In 1994, Pacific Thrift began to originate
loans for the purpose of sale and securitization. Loan production has continued
to increase as Pacific Thrift has steadily expanded its geographic lending
areas. As of January 31, 1997, Pacific Thrift is authorized to originate loans
in nearly every state of the United States. Pacific Thrift believes that it will
continue to expand its lending business in states in which it has only recently
commenced lending operations, or in those states in which it has not yet 
commenced lending operations.


The Partnership also owned substantially all of the interests in three
subsidiaries engaged in the trust deed foreclosure services and posting and
publishing businesses, Consolidated Reconveyance Company ("CRC"), a California
limited partnership, Lenders Posting and Publishing Company ("LPPC"), a
California limited partnership, and Consolidated Reconveyance Corporation
("CRCWA"), a Washington corporation. The Corporation acquired all of the
Partnership's interests in these entities in connection with the Restructuring.
Effective December 31, 1996, all of the assets and liabilities of CRC and LPPC
and all of the stock of CRCWA were sold (Note 18). This is part of the Company's
strategy to concentrate all of its financial and human resources on its primary
business of residential lending for sale and securitization.

1.    GENERAL
      (CONTINUED)

ORGANIZATION (Continued)


The Partnership's general partner, Presidential Management Company, was a
California limited partnership. Presidential Management Company's general
partner, Presidential Services Corporation, was a California corporation owned
by Joel R. Schultz, John A. DeRosa and Constance DeRosa.



The Partnership's limited partners consisted of approximately 2,500 individuals
and entities in classes A, B, C, D, and E. The differences between the various
classes primarily related to the different offering dates and unit prices as
well as profit priorities and percentages. In addition, certain partners elected
to reinvest their distributions in Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) Units.


PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT


The Partnership was governed by the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate and
Agreement of Limited Partnership entered into as of September 1989, as amended
by the First Amendment, dated as of May 1993, and the Second Amendment, dated as
of January 1, 1994. The First Amendment provided for a special allocation of
loss to the general partner and income to the limited partners based on certain
capital contributions by the general partner from 1993 through 1996 (the
"Capital Plan"). The Second Amendment provided that Pacific Thrift would
directly hire its own employees and directly pay its own overhead and that the
Partnership would continue to pay the general partner for fees in connection
with loans of Pacific Thrift and the Partnership. The agreement and amendments
were collectively referred to as the "Partnership Agreement."


In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the net profits of the Partnership
(after deduction of the management fee) were allocated to the partners, based on
specified annual percentage rates for each class of partners and the average
daily balance of each partner's capital contributions. Net losses were allocated
to all partners in proportion to their average daily capital contributions. In
addition, there was a special allocation based on the Capital Plan.

      (CONTINUED)

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT (Continued)

The Partnership Agreement provided certain rights to the partners to withdraw
the balance in their capital accounts. Such withdrawal rights were restricted by
certain percentage limitations and a determination by the general partner that
such withdrawal would not impair the capital or operations of the Partnership.
Since July 1993, no distributions were made and no withdrawals were permitted.


OPERATING RESULTS AND BUSINESS PLAN

In 1996 the Company had income from continuing operations of $4,813,000 and net
income of $4,162,000. In prior years the Company has suffered losses from
operations of the Partnership, from 1992 through 1995 and Pacific Thrift from
1992 through 1994. These losses resulted primarily from significant amounts of
nonperforming loans, large provisions for loan losses, and relatively high
levels of overhead and caused a substantial reduction in the capital of the
Company. While that portion of the losses attributable to Pacific Thrift had
caused it to become "undercapitalized" and subject to certain regulatory
mandates at the end of 1994, Pacific Thrift had net profits of $7,054,000 and
$3,155,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and was classified as
"adequately capitalized" as of September 30, 1995.


Management expects that Pacific Thrift will continue to be profitable for 1997
and believes that Pacific Thrift is in total compliance with all regulatory
mandates. Management also expects that the Company will be profitable in 1997.
In prior years the Company was limited by conditions imposed by the lender under
a note payable (Note 7). The note payable to its lender was fully repaid in
January 1997.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.    BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.


B.    CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation,
Pacific Thrift, PacificAmerica Lending, CRC, LPPC and CRC Washington. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Consolidating information is presented in Schedules I, II, III, IV and V. On
December 31, 1996 CRC, LPPC and CRC Washington were sold (Note 18).


C.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Primary earnings per common share are net earnings divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, after giving effect to dilutive
stock options and warrants. The modified treasury method was used which limits
the number of shares of common stock obtainable upon exercise of outstanding
options and warrants to 20% of the number of common shares outstanding at the
end of the period for which the computation is being made. All options and
warrants are assumed to be exercised and proceeds in excess of the funds used to
repurchase the above-mentioned 20% of common shares outstanding are applied to
reduce debt and any remaining funds invested in U.S. government securities with
recognition of any income tax effect.

Fully diluted earnings per common share reflect the maximum dilution that would
have resulted from the exercise of stock options and warrants under the modified
treasury method.

C.    EARNINGS PER SHARE (Continued)

Pro forma earnings per common share assumes the Company is taxed for federal and
state income tax purposes as a taxable corporation at a 42% effective tax rate
and is computed on the basis of weighted average shares of common stock and
equivalents using the modified treasury stock method. This pro forma information
is provided to show the expected ongoing effect of the Company's change in tax
treatment as a result of the Restructuring (Note 1).

Weighted average common shares and equivalents used for the above 1996
computations was 2,293,850.


D.    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


E.    LOANS RECEIVABLE

Loans receivable are stated at the principal amount outstanding, less
unamortized deferred fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses (ALLL).
Loans receivable are primarily secured by first and second trust deeds.

Interest income is accrued as earned and is based on the principal balance
outstanding. The Company's policy is to cease accruing interest on loans that
are more than two monthly payments past due and for which there appears to be
insufficient collateral to support collectibility. In many cases, interest, late
fees, and other charges continue to accrue until the time management deems that
such amounts are not collectible. When a loan is placed on a nonaccrual status,
the Company reverses all accrual income that is uncollected income.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
      (CONTINUED)

E.    LOANS RECEIVABLE (Continued)

Nonrefundable loan fees and direct costs associated with the origination of
loans are deferred and netted against outstanding loan balances. The net
deferred fees and costs are recognized in interest income over the loan term as
an adjustment to the yield, using a method that approximates the effective
interest (level yield) method.


F.    RECEIVABLE FOR MORTGAGE LOANS SHIPPED

Gain or loss on the sale of mortgage loans is recognized at the date the loans
are sold to investors and all title and rights to such loans are legally
conveyed to investors pursuant to existing sales agreements.


G.    ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Loan losses are charged to the ALLL; recoveries are credited to the ALLL. The
provision for loan losses charged to expense and added to the ALLL is based upon
management's judgment and evaluation of the known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio. Management's judgment takes into consideration such factors as
changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, continuing review of
delinquent loans, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of the
various categories of loans, and other pertinent factors that may affect the
borrower's ability to repay. While management uses available information to
recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary
based on changes in economic conditions.


Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (as
amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -
Income Recognition and Disclosures). The effect of adopting this new accounting
standard was immaterial to the operating results of the Company for the year
ended December 31, 1995. Prior financial statements are prohibited from
restatement to apply the new accounting standard.

G.    ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (Continued)

Under the new accounting standard, a loan is considered to be impaired when it
is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and
interest amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The
ALLL related to loans identified as impaired is primarily based on the excess of
the loan's current outstanding principal balance over the estimated fair market
value of the related collateral. For a loan that is not collateral-dependent,
the allowance is recorded at the amount by which the outstanding principal
balance exceeds the current best estimate of the future cash flows on the loan
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. Prior to 1995, the ALLL for
all loans which would have qualified as impaired under the new accounting
standard was primarily based upon the estimated fair market value of the related
collateral.


For impaired loans that are on non-accrual status, cash payments received are
generally applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance. However, all or a
portion of a cash payment received on a non-accrual loan may be recognized as
interest income to the extent allowed by the loan contract, assuming management
expects to fully collect the remaining principal balance of the loan.

A restructuring of a debt is considered a troubled debt restructuring when the
Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial
difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise
grant. Troubled debt restructuring may include changing repayment terms,
reducing the stated interest rate and reducing the amounts of principal and/or
interest due or significantly extending the maturity date. The restructuring of
a loan is intended to recover as much of the Company's investment as possible
and to achieve the highest yield possible.

H.    LOANS HELD FOR SALE

The Company has designated certain of its loans receivable as being held for
sale. In determining the level of loans held for sale, the Company considers the
extent to which loans will be required to be sold in response to liquidity
needs, asset/liability management requirements, and other factors.

Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. Any
unrealized losses are recorded as a reduction in income. Realized gains and
losses from the sale of loans receivable are based on the specific
identification method.


I.    LOAN SALES REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company principally derives its revenue from sales premium and excess loan
yield gains. Loans originated through the Company's retail and wholesale network
are funded by the Company for sale in the secondary market. Gains on the sale of
mortgage loans are recognized at the date the loans are sold to investors and
all title and rights to such loans are legally conveyed to investors pursuant to
existing sales agreements. Loans are generally sold on a servicing-released
basis.


An excess loan yield gain is recorded to account for the yield retained by the
Company and is determined by the Company taking into account several factors
including industry practices. The net present value of the yield retained by the
Company (based on certain prepayment and other assumptions to determine an
expected life of the loan) is recorded as an excess yield gain when the loan is
sold. The excess yield gain included in the Statements of Operations includes
these amounts reduced by direct transaction costs. The excess yield receivable
included in the Balance Sheets results from the recording of such initial gains
on an aggregate basis adjusted for amortization.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
      (CONTINUED)

I.    LOAN SALES REVENUE RECOGNITION (Continued)

As the Company receives cash in the form of the excess yield it retains, the
excess yield receivable will be reduced in proportion to and over the expected
lives of the related loans giving effect to the prepayment assumption utilized
in its determination. On a quarterly basis, the Company will review its
prepayment and other assumptions in relation to its actual experience and
current rates of prepayment prevalent in the industry. The excess yield
receivable will be written down if a short-fall in the net present value of the
estimated remaining future excess yield becomes apparent. The excess yield
receivable will not be increased as a result of slower than estimated prepayment
experience.

The premium earned from whole loans originated and subsequently sold at par plus
an upfront premium, with no further rights to any excess yield, are reported as
premium under gain on sale of loans in the Statements of Operations.


J.    MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS


In 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65." SFAS No. 122 requires the
Corporation to capitalize mortgage servicing rights on originated mortgage loans
when the loans are originated to be sold or securitized and servicing is
retained. When a mortgage loan is originated to be sold with servicing retained,
the total cost of the loan is allocated to the mortgage servicing right and the
loan based on their relative fair values. Under SFAS No. 122, capitalized
servicing rights are assessed for impairment based on the fair value of those
rights. In addition, capitalized mortgage servicing rights must be stratified
based on one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans
and impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for each impaired
stratum.

The effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 122 was not material to the Company,
primarily because the Company sells substantially all of its loans on a
servicing released basis.

K.    TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

In 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities."  SFAS No. 125 provides accounting and
reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishment of liabilities based on consistent application of a financial-
components approach that focuses on control.  SFAS No. 125 applies to
transactions occurring after December 31, 1996.

The adoption of SFAS No. 125 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.


L.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," which addresses
accounting for impairment of long-lived assets, including certain identifiable
intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets. SFAS No. 121 requires that
assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.

The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.


M.    EXCESS YIELD RECEIVABLE


Excess yield receivable represents the excess of the estimated present value of
net amounts to be received over normal servicing fees for loan sales for which
the Company continues to service the loans. Excess yield receivable also
represents the estimated present value of the excess interest income to be
received over the yield acquired by the investor for loan sales for which the
Company does not continue to service the loans. The receivable is amortized to
operations based on a method which approximates the effective interest method.

N.    OTHER REAL ESTATE

Other real estate is comprised of formally foreclosed property to which the
Company does not have legal title. These assets are recorded at the lower of the
net investment in the loan or the fair value of the property less selling costs.
At the time of foreclosure, any excess of the net investment in the loan over
its fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent
declines in value are charged to operations. Prior to 1995, loans were
classified as in-substance foreclosures when they exhibited characteristics more
closely associated with the risk of real estate ownership than with loans.
Collateral that has been classified as an in-substance foreclosure was reported
in the same manner as collateral that has been formally foreclosed. Effective
January 1, 1995, with the adoption date of SFAS No. 114, the category of loan
classified as in-substance foreclosures was eliminated resulting in such loans
being reflected as loan receivable rather than as foreclosed real estate.


O.    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation of property and equipment is based on the asset's estimated useful
life, ranging from two to eight years, and is computed using the straight-line
method. Expenditures that improve or extend the service lives of assets are
capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.


P.    GOODWILL

Goodwill represented the excess of the total purchase price (consisting of the
initial consideration and subsequent consideration) of CRC and LPPC over the
fair value of purchased net assets. Goodwill was amortized using the
straight-line method over approximately 20 years. The Company sold CRC and LPPC
in 1996 and wrote off the remaining goodwill which is included in loss from
discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations (Note 18).

Q.    INCOME TAXES


The Company follows the "asset and liability" method of accounting for income
taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are
recognized for tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted
statutory tax rates to differences between the financial statement carrying
amount and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on
deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date. All tax benefits are recorded and then reduced
by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the benefit is not
fully realizable.


Partnerships are generally not subject to income taxes, accordingly, the
Partnership income or loss was reported in the individual partners' tax returns.
However, Pacific Thrift, the Partnership's wholly owned corporate subsidiary,
has always been subject to federal income and state franchise taxes. Since
completion of the Restructuring (Note 1) the Company is also subject to federal
and state income taxes.



R.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS 107), requires that the Company disclose
estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates,
methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial
instruments. The estimated fair values of financial instruments are disclosed as
of December 31, 1996. SFAS No. 107 defines fair value as the amount which the
instrument could be exchanged for in a current transaction between willing
parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. Where possible, the Company
has utilized quoted market prices to estimate fair value. Since quoted market
prices were not available for a significant portion of the financial
instruments, the fair values were approximated using discounted cash flow
techniques.


Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on judgments
regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk
conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other
factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium

or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's
entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. 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 were based on existing 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.


The following presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the
various classes of financial instruments held by the Company at December 31,
1996. This information is presented solely for compliance with SFAS No. 107 and
is subject to change over time based on a variety of factors. Because no market
exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments presented below
and the inherent imprecision involved in the estimation process, management does
not believe the information presented reflects the amounts that would be
received if the Company's assets and liabilities were sold.

Cash, Short Term-Investments, Trade Receivables, and Trade Payables

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
these instruments.

Loans

Fair values were estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial
characteristics. Loans were segregated by type such as commercial real estate,
residential mortgage, and other consumer. Each loan category was further
segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and
nonperforming categories.


The fair value for performing fixed rate commercial real estate loans was
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which
similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The fair
values for performing commercial real estate loans indexed to a market lending
rate with normal credit risk were assumed to approximate their carrying value.
For residential mortgage loans, fair value was estimated by using quoted market
prices for loans with similar credit and interest rate risk characteristics.

R.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Loans (Continued)

Fair value for significant nonperforming loans was based on recent external
appraisals or broker price opinions adjusted for anticipated credit loss risk,
estimated time for resolution, and other related resolution costs. If appraisals
or recent broker price opinions are not available, estimated cash flows are
discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated
cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates
are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific
borrower information.


Loans Held for Sale

The fair values were estimated by using current institutional purchaser yield
requirements.


Excess Yield Receivable

The fair value was determined by using estimated discounted future cash flows
taking into consideration current prepayment rates and default experience. The
carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair market value.


Thrift Certificates Payable

Under SFAS 107, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as
savings and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as
of December 31, 1996. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the
discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using
the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

R.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

The remaining assets and liabilities of the Company are not considered financial
instruments and have not been valued differently than is customary under
historical cost accounting. Since assets and liabilities that are not financial
instruments are excluded, the difference between total financial assets and
financial liabilities does not, nor is it intended to, represent the market
value of the Company. Furthermore, the estimated fair value information may not
be comparable between financial institutions due to the wide range of valuation
techniques permitted, and assumptions necessitated, in the absence of an
available trading market.


S.    USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.


T.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In 1996, the Company adopted for footnote disclosure purposes only, SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which requires that companies
measure the cost of stock-based employee compensation at the grant date based on
the value of the award and recognize this cost over the service period. The
value of the stock-based award is determined using the intrinsic value method
whereby compensation cost is the excess of the quoted market prices of the stock
at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to
acquire the stock.

During 1996 and 1995, the Company sold, without recourse to the Company,
approximately $26,176,000 and $13,371,000 of portfolio mortgage loans.


SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK

The Company made portfolio mortgage loans primarily secured by first or second
trust deeds on Southern California real estate. The loans are secured by
single-family residential and other types of real estate and collateralized by
the equity in the borrowers' real estate. Prior to the fourth quarter of 1993,
these borrowers generally had a credit standing such that the Company relied
heavily on the value of the underlying collateral in its lending practices. In
the fourth quarter of 1993, however, the Company began implementing a revised
policy to place more emphasis on the creditworthiness of the borrower. Loans are
expected to be repaid either by cash from the borrower at maturity or by
borrower refinancing. In the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company stopped
portfolio lending in order to concentrate its financial and human resources on
its primary business of residential lending for sale and securitization.

In December 1993, management developed a loan securitization program under which
the Corporation or Pacific Thrift could sell certain loans receivable to a
primary buyer (the Purchaser). The securitization agreements provided that the
Corporation or Pacific Thrift would offer to sell all newly originated 
qualifying loans, up to $75,000,000, to the Purchaser through June 1995.


Pacific Thrift had sold $75 million of loans under that agreement as of May 26,
1995. All loans sold by Pacific Thrift were included in pools of loans
securitized by the Purchaser, who also acts as loan servicer for each of the
pools. All loans were sold nonrecourse except for the obligation to repurchase
any loan which did not meet certain customary representations and warranties or
to repurchase loans adversely affected by any breach of general representations
and warranties. Except for an initial sale of approximately $3.9 million in
loans, all loans sold by Pacific Thrift to the Purchaser were sold for a premium
above face value. Pacific Thrift received a servicing released fee payable
quarterly on the principal amount

of each loan sold from September 19, 1994 to January 1995. Effective February 1,
1995, the servicing released fee was increased on the principal amount of each
loan sold, including the loans sold from September 1994 to May 26, 1995, until
each loan is paid off. Pacific Thrift retains an interest in the net spread
(i.e. all interest and fees paid on the loans less servicing and other costs) in
the $3.9 million of loans sold to Purchaser in December 1993, which management
estimates will represent an additional return of approximately 3.3% on the
principal amount of the $3.9 million of loans sold.

Pacific Thrift entered into a new agreement with the Purchaser effective June
21, 1995, pursuant to which it agreed to continue selling pre-approved
residential loans to the Purchaser. The new agreement provided for Pacific
Thrift to receive a higher premium on the face amount of each loan sold which
met preset interest rate requirements upon date of sale. An additional premium
was paid for all loans sold during any quarter if at least $22.5 million of
loans were sold during that quarter. The premium for all loans sold in excess of
$25 million per calendar quarter was further increased. In addition, Pacific
Thrift received a servicing released fee on the principal amount of each loan
sold, payable on a quarterly basis, until the loan is paid off. At January 1,
1996, the Agreement was revised to eliminate, for all new loans sold, the
servicing released fee and replace it with a higher premium on sale.

servicing fee and warehousing fee from the date of sale until the loans are
securitized; certain premium and/or advance payments upon securitization; and
further future payments based on the excess yield on the loans sold. On December
16, 1996, the Company entered into a similar agreement with a Second Purchaser
of loans effective for all loans sold after November 30, 1996.


To the extent that the Company or one of its subsidiaries originates loans for
sale, it bears an interest rate risk between the loan approval date and the date
that each loan is securitized. In addition, because subprime residential loans
have a higher interest rate spread than prime residential loans, fluctuations in
rates which may occur during the period prior to securitization could reduce the
excess spread anticipated to be retained by the Company upon securitization, but
would not generally be sufficiently large to eliminate the excess spread
entirely. Loans which are held for sale during the period prior to sale are
accounted for at the lower of cost or market value of such loans.

During 1996, the Company sold an aggregate of $277 million of pre-approved
securitizable loans to the Purchaser, and $61 million of pre-approved
securitizable loans to the Second Purchaser.

3.    LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

LOANS HELD FOR SALE (Continued)

Prior to March 31, 1993, Pacific Thrift originated Title I home improvement
loans that were 90% insured by the Federal Housing Administration, provided that
the total amount of claims did not exceed 10% of the amount of all Title I
loans. During 1995, Pacific Thrift sold $1,126,000 of these loans and recorded
no losses. As of March 31, 1993, Pacific Thrift discontinued the origination and
sale of Title I and other similar loans.


In August 1995 Pacific Thrift resumed a Title I Loan origination program, in
which Pacific Thrift acts exclusively as a correspondent lender for one or more
larger mortgage lenders who securitize Title I Loans. These loans were then sold
without recourse.


During 1995, Pacific Thrift sold $1,126,000 of seasoned home improvement loans
originated prior to March 1993 at par value and $850,000 in new Title I loans at
a premium.

(a) As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership was in compliance with all paydown
requirements under a September 1994 amended and restated loan agreement with its
bank lender, but certain technical conditions relating to expenses had not been
met. The Bank agreed to waive this technical violation of the loan agreement in
February, 1996. The loan interest rate was prime plus 1.5%, which was 9.75% at
December 31, 1996.



(b) The excess yield advance of $2,545,000 was received in December 1996 from
the Purchaser (Note 4) of loans sold under which an excess yield is retained by
the Company. As part of the agreement an advance of 4.75% of the par value of
loans sold was made by the Purchaser when the loans were securitized. The
advance is reduced by any monthly payments to be made against the excess yield
receivable until the advance is fully repaid. The advance bears an annual
interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%.

8.    INCOME TAXES

The Partnership was not subject to income taxes. However, the Partnership was
still required to file partnership returns in order to report its income or loss
in total as well as the distributable share of income or loss of each of the
partners. These partnership returns, as all tax returns, are potentially subject
to examination by the taxing authorities.


The cumulative differences between the total capital of the Partnership for
financial reporting purposes and the total capital reported for federal income
tax purposes at December 31, 1995 are summarized as follows:

Subsequent to the restructuring (Note 1) the Corporation became subject to
federal income and California franchise taxes. Pacific Thrift, the major
operating subsidiary, was always subject to income taxes because it has been a
taxable corporation from its inception. Significant components of the provision
for income taxes (benefits) from continuing operations included in the
consolidated statements of operations are as follows:

8.      INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

Included in the deferred tax asset at December 31, 1996 is a capital loss
carryforward of $402,000 which is fully reserved for (Note 18). During 1996 the
beginning of year valuation allowance of $857,000 was reversed. On June 27, 1996
when the Company went from a non-taxable entity to a taxable entity a valuation
allowance of $1,207,000 was recorded against the resulting deferred tax asset of
$1,207,000 as management felt it was more likely than not the asset was not
realizable at that time. In the fourth quarter of 1996, this valuation allowance
of $1,207,000 was reversed because of new contracts entered into with the
Purchaser in October 1996 and the Second Purchaser in December 1996 (Note 4). As
a result of these contracts management expects sufficient revenue will be
generated in the future to use these future temporary deductible differences.


At December 31, 1996, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes of approximately $6,298,000 that are available to
offset future federal taxable income. These federal net operating losses expire
in the years 2009 through 2010. Pacific Thrift has net operating loss
carryforwards for California franchise tax purposes of approximately $3,144,000.
These California carryforwards expire in the year 2001. Should there occur a 50%
ownership change of the Company as defined under Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, the Company's ability to use the net operating losses
would be restricted to a prescribed annual amount.



The following summarizes the difference between the 1996, 1995 and 1994
provision for income taxes (benefit) from continuing operations and the federal
statutory tax rate:

9.    ANNUAL MANAGEMENT FEE

The general partner received an annual management fee based on the proportion
that net profits, before the effects of the management fee, bear to the total
capital contributions as defined in the Partnership Agreement.


The Partnership Agreement permitted the general partner to calculate the
management fee based on annual net income that included loan origination fees
generated. During 1995 and 1994, there was no management fee because the
Partnership incurred net losses in excess of loan origination fees generated. In
1996 a management fee of $174,000 was paid.


During 1993, the general partner received payments of $441,000 on the
anticipated annual management fees. Since the general partner ultimately did not
earn such fees, the general partner agreed to repay these amounts to the
Partnership under a promissory note. No interest was paid or accrued for 1993.
However, quarterly principal payments of approximately $110,000 commenced in
December 1994 and interest at prime plus 1% was accrued from January 1994
through June 27, 1996 (Note 10). This note was fully repaid in June 1996 in
connection with the Restructuring.

10.   RELATED PARTIES AND AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

The Partnership had various related party transactions with the following
entities:

- -     PRESIDENTIAL MANAGEMENT COMPANY - Prior to the Restructuring (Note 1) the
      former general partner of the Partnership received specified fees for
      serviced performed and reimbursements of certain expenses. Under the
      Partnership Agreement, the general partner received a base fee of up to
      35% of the loan origination fees paid by borrowers to the Partnership or
      Pacific Thrift. The base fee was 35% of loan origination fees for the
      Company in 1995 and 35% in 1994. The general partner also received a loan
      servicing fee of 3/8 of 1% per annum on loans with terms over three years.

      Amounts charged by the former general partner for services performed and
      overhead-related expenses for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
      1994 were as follows:

      Under a capital plan adopted by the general partner in 1993, the general
      partner agreed to contribute, over a three-year period, additional capital
      up to $1,730,000 if the Company generated certain levels of loan
      origination fees. Pursuant to the agreement, the general partner
      contributed $266,000 of the $1,730,000 in late 1993 and early 1994, but
      did not contribute any additional amounts based on continued operating
      losses and the level of loan origination fees. The capital plan was
      dissolved as a result of the restructuring (Note 1).

10.   RELATED PARTIES AND AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

      In connection with an amendment to the loan agreement with the
      Partnership's bank lender (Note 7), in 1992 the general partner loaned the
      Partnership $600,000 in subordinated debt, with interest at the prime rate
      and only repayable upon consent by the lender or at such time as the
      Partnership repaid all of its outstanding indebtedness to the lender. The
      general partner was repaid in 1996.

      Effective January 1, 1994, in order for Pacific Thrift to comply with a
      section of a regulatory agreement covering payments to affiliates, Pacific
      Thrift commenced directly employing personnel for loan origination,
      processing, and servicing. In addition, Pacific Thrift revised its
      policies for payment of rent and other overhead expenses. As a result,
      Pacific Thrift terminated reimbursements to the Partnership and general
      partner for such services and expenses. However, the Partnership continued
      to pay the general partner for base fees and loan servicing fees of
      Pacific Thrift in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

      During 1994, Pacific Thrift paid and allocated certain salaries and
      overhead for the Partnership, CRC, and general partner totaling $495,000,
      $220,000 and $356,000, and was reimbursed on a monthly basis.


      During 1995, Pacific Thrift paid and allocated certain salaries and
      overhead for the Partnership, CRC, LPPC and the general partner totaling
      $386,000, $251,000, $8,000 and $597,000, and was reimbursed on a monthly
      basis.

      During 1996, Pacific Thrift paid and allocated certain salaries and
      overhead for the Partnership, Corporation, PAL, CRC, LPPC and the general
      partner totaling $159,000, $753,000, $212,000, $6,000 and $174,000 and was
      reimbursed on a monthly basis.


      The Partnership incurred salary and employee-related expenses for
      individuals who perform services for the Partnership and Pacific Thrift
      and did not own more than a 1% interest in the general partner. The
      Partnership also incurred these expenses for all individuals who perform

      general partner. The general partner, however, incurred salary and
      employee-related expenses for three managing officers who performed
      services for the Partnership and Pacific Thrift and owned more than a 1%
      interest in the general partner.

- -     CONSOLIDATED RECONVEYANCE COMPANY - (CRC) served as a trustee on all trust
      deeds obtained by the Partnership or Pacific Thrift as security for
      portfolio loans. Fees paid to CRC were paid by the borrowers. On December
      31, 1996 CRC was sold (Note 18).


- -     OTHER - Prior to the Restructuring a managing officer of the Partnership
      and stockholder provided legal services in connection with the loan
      accounts of the Partnership and Pacific Thrift, for which he received $100
      from the fees paid by each borrower for legal services related to each
      loan origination.  Total fees of $212,000, $175,000 and $62,000 were paid
      by the Partnership to the managing officer for the years ended December
      31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.


      A partner with a law firm that provides legal services to the Company is a
      stockholder of the Company and formerly a partner of the Partnership.
      Total fees for the services provided to the Company by the law firm were
      approximately $424,000, $689,000 and $716,000 for the years ended December
      31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.


      A former member of the Board of Directors of Pacific Thrift was paid
      hourly and contingent fees for services related to the sale of loans under
      the loan securitization agreement entered into in December 1993. Total
      fees for the services provided by the board member were $165,000 and
      $111,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.



      Former officers of the Company have loans payable to the Company, secured
      by real estate, totaling approximately $74,000 and $269,000 as of December
      31, 1996 and 1995. These loans are included in loans receivable.

11.   PURCHASE OF CRC AND LPPC

Effective, July 1, 1990, the Partnership purchased 100% of the limited
partnership interests in CRC and LPPC from the general partner for their
combined estimated fair market value of $908,000 as determined by an independent
appraiser. CRC served as trustee on all trust deeds obtained as security for
portfolio loans originated or purchased by the Partnership or Pacific Thrift, as
well as trust deeds for many unaffiliated lenders. LPPC published information
regarding sales of foreclosed properties. The transaction was treated as a
purchase and resulted in goodwill of approximately $651,000.



The Partnership also agreed to pay the general partner an additional amount
(contingent consideration) annually for five years beginning January 1, 1991.
The contingent consideration, based on an amended agreement, was calculated as
50% of the total annual net profits earned by CRC and LPPC in excess of a base
profit amount of $465,000. The contingent consideration totaled $172,000 and
$224,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, and was treated as an
addition to goodwill. Accumulated amortization relating to the goodwill totaled
$400,000 and $253,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994. On December 31, 1996 the
Company sold its interests in CRC and LPPC (Note 18).

12.   LITIGATION AND UNASSERTED CLAIMS

Although they were never been served, the Partnership and its Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) received a complaint in October 1993 that named them as
defendants, along with four other unaffiliated defendants. The complaint
contained allegations of securities fraud and breach of fiduciary duty in
connection with companies affiliated with Alexander Spitzer (who, until
approximately twelve years ago but not thereafter, was an affiliate of the
Partnership and CEO). The complaint was filed by two long-time business
associates of Spitzer, including one individual who was a general partner of a
Spitzer-affiliated entity and one individual who owned another Spitzer-
affiliated entity.

The complaint charges all defendants with participation in securities fraud in
connection with the sale of securities of the Spitzer entities (although there
are no allegations that either the Partnership or CEO participated in the sale
of such securities) and charges the Partnership and CEO with aiding and abetting
other defendants in a violation of their fiduciary duties to the
Spitzer-affiliated entities. The primary facts alleged against the Partnership
and CEO are alleged to have occurred in 1984.  The Partnership and CEO denied
the merits of all allegations stated against them in the complaint.

Counsel for both the Partnership and CEO, in a letter dated October 20, 1993,
advised counsel for the plaintiffs that the complaint appeared to state no
claim on the merits against the Partnership or CEO and that no claims could be
stated because of statute of limitations problems. The only response of
plaintiffs' counsel, by letter dated November 16, 1993, was to notify all
defendants that they had an open extension of time to answer.

An earlier class action involving Spitzer-affiliated entities was filed in March
1990 by investors and certain lenders in the bankrupt Spitzer-affiliated
entities. Although the Partnership and CEO are discussed in the complaint,
neither the Partnership nor CEO has ever been named as a defendant in that class
action.

The allegations involving the Partnership and CEO in both complaints concern the
May 1984 sales of the general partnership interests in the Partnership (which
were owned at that time by entities owned by the CEO and a relative of Spitzer)
and of the stock of a former affiliated thrift and loan company to a large,
unaffiliated mortgage banking group headquartered in the state of New York (the
Buyer). The complaints allege that, in connection with the sales to the Buyer,
the CEO and Spitzer agreed for the former affiliated thrift and loan company to
sell certain allegedly poor-quality loans to other Spitzer-affiliated entities.
The complaints further allege that Spitzer and his affiliates engaged in a
continuing scheme, both before and after the sales to the Buyer, to lend money
and sell real estate to nominees (which did not include the Partnership or
CEO), who assertedly purchased the real estate at inflated prices and were
guaranteed against loss.

12.   LITIGATION AND UNASSERTED CLAIMS (CONTINUED)

Although not mentioned in either of the two complaints, but based on hearsay
contained in a document prepared in 1985, Spitzer allegedly stated that in 1984
the CEO reimbursed Spitzer for the CEO's share of funding such guarantees
involving one Spitzer-affiliated entity in 1982 through 1984. The CEO
acknowledges that he made payments to Spitzer but has stated that they were for
proper purposes.

Neither the Partnership nor CEO had any ownership interest in any
Spitzer-affiliated entity after the sales to the Buyer in May 1984. However, as
a result of loans made to Spitzer-affiliated entities prior to the sales to the
Buyer, the Partnership continued to be a creditor to these entities. These
loans were substantially performing in accordance with their terms and were
considered by management to be well secured until 1989, shortly before certain
Spitzer-affiliated entities declared bankruptcy in November 1989. Ultimately,
as previously reported, the Partnership wrote off the loans not secured by real
estate, disposed of real estate collateral securing one of the loans to the
Spitzer-affiliated entities, and recorded losses on these loans in 1990 and
1991 in excess of $3.7 million.

The Partnership and CEO denied the merits of the allegations stated against
them in the complaints. Management does not believe that any of these matters
will result in any material additional losses to the Partnership or any
material adjustments to these financial statements.

On October 31, 1995 plaintiff's counsel, in the October 1993 complaint which had
named the Partnership and its CEO alleging securities fraud and breach of
fiduciary duty, as discussed above, filed a request for dismissal without
prejudice. The clerk of the Court entered the dismissal as requested on November
2, 1995.

13.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In January and February 1993, the Partnership and Pacific Thrift foreclosed on
two loans secured by real estate that contained toxic substances. The real
estate was used by the former owners for metal-plating purposes. Remediation was
completed on one property in 1995 and on the second property in 1996. Both
properties were sold in 1996 for cash and without recourse.


The Company conducts its operations from leased facilities. Rental expenses of
approximately $1,129,000, $905,000 and $926,000 have been charged to general and
administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. At December 31, 1996, the
approximate minimum rental commitments under all noncancelable operating leases
(which are subject to annual escalations based on the consumer price index) are
as follows:

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company was servicing Title I loans for
others totaling approximately $8,743,000 and $10,744,000. In addition, the
Company had filed claims with the Federal Housing Administration that depleted
the insurance on these loans during 1994.

13.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

In 1995, in order to facilitate certain real estate loan sales by Pacific
Thrift, the Partnership guaranteed one buyer against losses up to $1,800,000. As
security for the guarantee, in 1995 the Partnership deposited $237,000 with the
buyer.


The Corporation entered into employment agreements with five of its officers
effective as of the closing date of the Restructuring on June 27, 1996 (Note 1).
One employment agreement with the President of CRC, LPPC and CRCWA was
terminated effective December 31, 1996 upon the sale of those subsidiaries (Note
18). On January 1, 1997, the Corporation entered into an employment agreement
with its Chief Financial Officer.

The agreements provide for initial terms ranging from one to three years and all
extend automatically for additional one year terms thereafter unless either
party gives at least six months written notice of their intentions not to renew.
The agreements provide for annual salaries adjusted annually to the cost of
living index. The agreements also provide for two of the officers to receive
annual bonuses based on a calculation of net pre-tax profits subject to a
minimum return on equity.


Effective January 1, 1996 Pacific Thrift entered into an employment agreement
with an executive vice president for a term of two years and automatically
renewing for additional one year terms thereafter unless either party gives at
least six months written notice of his intention not to renew. The agreement
provides for an annual salary adjusted annually to the cost of living index and
an annual bonus based upon net profits earned from wholesale loans originated
for sale.



FORECLOSURE SERVICES ACTIONS


On June 6, 1995, CRC and LPPC were served with a complaint by Consumer Action
and two consumers suing both individually and on behalf of the general public in
an unfair business practices action filed in the Superior Court of Contra Costa
County, California. The complaint named CRC and LPPC, along with thirteen other
foreclosure service and foreclosure publishing companies, and alleges that all
named defendants charge fees in excess of the statutorily permitted amount for
publication of

notices of trustee sales. The complaint seeks restitution of all excess charges,
an injunction against the charging of excessive fees in the future and attorneys
fees. In January 1996, LPPC and two other posting and publishing companies were
dismissed from the action without prejudice. As of March 20, 1996, a tentative
global settlement of the action had been reached, pursuant to which CRC would
pay damages in an amount immaterial to the Company as a whole. There can be no
assurance that the settlement will be concluded, or that damages in any
litigation that might ensue would not be material to the Company.


In 1996, CRC was served with a complaint by seven individuals suing both
individually and on behalf of the general public in a purported class action
filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California. The Complain
names over 50 defendants, including numerous title insurance companies and trust
deed services companies, generally alleging that the title insurance companies
did not make certain refunds of certain trustee sale guarantee fees ("TSGs")
which they were required to make under the terms of a settlement of a previous
case (in which CRC was not named), and that the trust deed services companies
failed to purchase less costly alternative products, to request and remit
refunds in the cost of TSGs or to advise the members of the class of their right
to a refund from the title insurance companies. As of March 20, 1996, the court
had sustained CRC's demurrer to the complaint, as well as other trustees'
demurrers and motions for judgment on the pleadings, and the plaintiffs had been
given 20 days to file an amended complaint. At this time, there is no way of
determining the exact nature and extent of damages, which will not be able to be
specified until the amended complaint has been filed. Management believes,
however, based upon consultation with its counsel in this action, that any
liability that may be incurred by CRC in this action would be immaterial to the
Company as a whole.


The Company, Pacific Thrift and PacificAmerica Lending are involved in certain
lawsuits and there are claims pending against these entities which management
considers incidental to normal operations. The legal responsibility and
financial impact with respect to such litigation and claims

cannot presently be determined. However, management considers that any ultimate
liability which would likely arise from these lawsuits and claims would not
materially affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of
the Company.

14.   RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company implemented a retirement savings plan (defined contribution plan) in
1994. All full-time employees who have completed six months of service and
reached age 21 are eligible to participate in the plan. Contributions are made
from employee-elected salary deferrals. The Company matches the first 6% of
employee contributions to the plan at the rate of $.50 on the dollar. During the
years ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Company's contributions
to the plan totaled $266,00 and $118,000.


The PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan,
effective from June 27, 1996 forward, is an unfunded plan to provide benefits to
certain long-term executives officers of the Company. The yearly benefit that a
participant will receive at normal retirement (as defined) is based on a formula
which takes into account his highest average annual compensation for three
consecutive years multiplied by the actual number of years of service (as
defined), not to exceed 30. Benefits are reduced by participants' estimated
social security and 401(k) benefits.

Net period pension cost for 1996 includes the following components:

15.   WITHDRAWALS

Partnership withdrawals payable of $1,120,000 at December 31, 1995 represented
the capital withdrawals by limited partners that were approved by the general
partner but not paid by the Partnership. At December 31, 1995 other limited
partners with original capital contributions totaling $9,400,000 had requested
withdrawals; however, these requests were not approved. Withdrawals were not
paid or approved after July 1993 due to limitations on withdrawals in the
Partnership Agreement and the restriction on such withdrawals in the amendments
to the Partnership's bank loan. In June 1996 all partnership withdrawals payable
were paid.

The Company has a 1995 Stock Option Plan and a 1995 Stock Purchase Plan pursuant
to which options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock may be granted
to employees. The plans provide that the option price shall not be less than the
fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Under the 1995 Stock
Option Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which
Options may be granted under the Plan (the "Plan Maximum") is 250,000 with an
increase of two percent (2%) of the total issued and outstanding shares of the
Common Stock on the first day of each subsequent calendar year, up to a maximum
330,000 shares, commencing January 1, 1997. Under the 1995 Stock Purchase Plan a
total of 50,000 options may be issued. Options vest ratably over four or five
year periods as provided for in each employee's option agreement. At December

All stock options issued to employees have an exercise price not less than the
fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, and in
accordance with accounting for such options utilizing the intrinsic value method
there is no related compensation expense recorded in the Company's financial
statements. Had compensation cost for stock-based compensation been determined
based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS
123, the Company's net income from continuing operations and earnings per share
from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts presented below:

The fair value of option grants is estimated on the date of grants utilizing the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions for grants in 1996: expected life of options of 5 years, expected
volatility of 25%, risk-free interest rates of 6.2%, and a 0% dividend yield.
The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during 1996
approximated $3.70 per option.

*     In the quarter ended December 31, 1996 as a result of continued improved
      earnings, especially in this quarter, a valuation allowance was reversed
      as management believes it is more likely than not that the related
      deferred tax asset will be realized in the near future.


**    The increase in the provision for loan losses is primarily a result of an
      increased general reserve. Management represents that it was not practical
      to determine whether or not a portion of these additional provisions
      should have been recorded in earlier quarters.

18.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective December 31, 1996 the Company's trustee and foreclosure services were
discontinued when the assets and liabilities of CRC and LPPC and all of the
stock of CRCWA were sold. Accordingly, the operations have been reclassified to
present the trustee and foreclosure services as discontinued operations in the
Statement of Operations. The Company recorded a fourth quarter 1996 pre-tax and
after-tax charge of $1,038,000 for disposition of this segment which comprises a
$926,000 loss on the measurement date plus a loss from discontinued operations
from the measurement date until the disposal date. The tax benefit of
approximately $402,000 from the loss on disposition was fully reserved for as
such loss is capital in nature and the Company is unable to quantify the portion
of such capital loss benefit which may be ultimately realizable.

18.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Net assets disposed of were $2,674,000 against proceeds of $1,748,000 resulting
in a loss of approximately $926,000. The $1,748,000 is included in accounts
receivable at December 31, 1996 and $450,000 was received by early February
1997. The remaining $1,298,000 represents a secured promissory note which bears
interest at 7% per annum, payable $25,000 per month from April 1, 1997 through
March 31, 1999 and thereafter at $9,328.93 per month (includes principal and
interest) from April 1, 1999 through March 1, 2012.

The Company operated principally in two industries, real estate secured lending
(including the origination and sale of loans) and trustee and foreclosure
services. A summary of selected financial information by industry segment for
1995 and 1994 is as follows:

19.   REGULATORY MATTERS AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND INITIAL ORDERS TO CEASE AND DESIST WITH THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION AND CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORPORATIONS


In February 1993, Pacific Thrift, the FDIC, and the California Department of
Corporations (DOC) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).  In
connection with the MOU, Pacific Thrift was required to maintain primary
capital in an amount that equals or exceeds 7.5% of its total assets; obtain
and retain qualified management; notify and obtain approval from the FDIC and
the DOC prior to adding any individual to the Board of Director or
employing any individual as a senior executive office or Pacific Thrift;
eliminate loans classified loss and reduce loans classified substandard to
specified levels within a specified period of time;  revise, adopt, and
implement policies to provide effective guidance and control over Pacific
Thrift's lending function;  develop, adopt, and implement written policies
governing relationships between Pacific Thrift, the Partnership, and other
affiliated companies; establish and maintain an adequate reserve for loan
losses and develop, adopt, and implement a policy and methodology for
determining the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses; formulate and
implement a budget for all categories of income and expense; revise, adopt, and
implement a written liquidity and funds management policy; maintain assets
within certain limits; obtain written consent from the FDIC and DOC prior to
paying any cash dividends; refrain from extending additional credit to any
borrower who has as loan from Pacific Thrift that has been adversely
classified, unless the loan is classified as substandard or doubtful and the
proper approval has been obtained; and take certain other actions.

As of March 31, 1993, Pacific Thrift's total assets had moderately exceeded the
limitation provided in the MOU.  In addition Pacific Thrift made certain
payments in 1993 to the Partnership in excess of the amounts authorized under
the Personnel Services Agreement between Pacific Thrift and the Partnership. The
overpayment amount was repaid by the Partnership in April 1993.  The Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors of Pacific Thrift performed an investigation
of the circumstances that allowed the overpayments to occur and determined that
such overpayments reflected a weakness in the internal control procedures of
Pacific Thrift with respect to intercompany payments.  Accordingly, new control
procedures were adopted by the Board of Directors of Pacific Thrift to prevent
overpayment of any kind by Pacific Thrift to the partnership in the future.  

In November 1993, the FDIC and DOC terminated the MOU and issued an Order to
Cease and Desist (C&D) with the consent of Pacific Thrift.  The C&D prohibits
Pacific Thrift from paying excessive fees to affiliates in such a manner as to
produce operating losses; prohibits Pacific Thrift from including accrued
interest in the carrying amount of a property acquired by foreclosure on a
loan; prohibits Pacific Thrift from accepting or renewing brokered deposits
unless it as adequately capitalized and a waiver is obtained; requires Pacific
Thrift to disclose any extensions of credit to executive officers or principal
shareholders from a correspondent bank; requires pacific Thrift to prepare and
display minimum information in its disclosure statement; requires Pacific
Thrift to comply with the limits specified in the California Industrial Loan
Company regulations on the amount of outstanding thrift certificates, based on
its unimpaired capital and surplus;  requires Pacific Thrift to develop a
comprehensive asset/liability dependency policy, including establishing a range
for, and reducing, the volatile liability dependency ratio; requires Pacific
Thrift to adopt and implement a written policy to increase its liquidity; and
requires Pacific Thrift to adopt and implement a satisfactory policy governing
the relationship between Pacific Thrift and its affiliates and to reduce the
payment of management, consulting, and other fees to the affiliates to amounts
that are reasonable and necessary for the services.  See Note 20

In September 1994, the FDIC issued a second C&D with the consent of Pacific
Thrift.  The second C&D prohibits Pacific Thrift from operating in such a
manner as to produce low earnings; requires Pacific Thrift to refrain from
opening any additional offices without the prior written approval of the FDIC;
requires Pacific Thrift to formulate and implement a written profit plan; and
requires Pacific Thrift to provide the FDIC with a study of the operations and
profitability of its loan production office opened in June 1994.  See Note 20.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Pacific Thrift is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the FDIC.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory - and possibly discretionary - actions by the FDIC
that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Pacific Thrift's
financial statements.  The regulations require Pacific Thrift to meet specific
capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures under of Pacific
Thrift's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices.  Pacific Thrift's capital classification
is also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components,
risk weightings, and other factors.

19.   REGULATORY MATTERS AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY (CONTINUED)

CAPITAL ADEQUACY (Continued)

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require Pacific Thrift to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Tier 1 capital
(as defined in the regulations) to total average assets (as defined), and
minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets
(as defined).  To be considered adequately capitalized as defined under the
Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, Pacific Thrift must maintain the minimum
Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based ratios presented in
the table.  Pacific Thrift's actual unaudited capital amounts and ratios
presented in the table.  Pacific Thrift's actual unaudited capital amounts and
ratios as of December 31, 1993 were as follows:

</TABLE>


Pacific Thrift incurred losses in 1994 and, in December 1994, Pacific Thrift
was notified by the FDIC that its tangible capital ratio (tangible capital
compared to average total assets) as of October 31, 1994 was less than 2%.
Based on the tangible and other capital ratios, Pacific Thrift was considered
to be "critically undercapitalized" as defined under the PCA provisions.  The
PCA notice also stated that the FDIC may be required to place Pacific Thrift in
receivership in March 1995.  See Subsequent Events, Note 20.

As a result of such PCA designation, Pacific Thrift became subject to mandatory
requirements as of October 31, 1994, including, but not limited to, a
requirement to submit a capital restoration plan to the FDIC and various
restrictions on asset growth, acquisitions, new activities and branches,
dividend payments, management fees, and executive compensation.

Subsequent to October 31, 1994, Pacific Thrift improved its capital position
from "critically undercapitalized" to "undercapitalized" as a result of certain
capital contributions and loan sales prior to December 31, 1994.  Pacific
Thrift's actual unaudited capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 1994
were as follows:

</TABLE>

In addition, Pacific Thrift received an Order to Cure Deficiency of Net Worth
(Order) from the DOC in connection with a $1,414,000 deficiency in its capital
as of December 31, 1994. The Order requires that Pacific Thrift increase its
capital to a level where the ratio of its outstanding thrift certificates
compared to capital does not exceed the permitted ratio of 15 to 1. Based on
the applicable section of the California Financial Code, failure to increase
its capital within 120 days would require the DOC to take possession of the
property and business of Pacific Thrift. See Subsequent Events, Note 20.

SETTLEMENT WITH DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

In April 1993, Pacific Thrift was notified by the Mortgagee Review Board of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of certain alleged violations
of certain requirements in the origination of 59 loans selected during its
examination of Title I loan origination activities.  Pacific Thrift was advised
that HUD intended to seek civil money penalties and was considering an
administrative action.  Pacific Thrift filed a response to the allegations
affirming its compliance with HUD requirements.  On September 15, 1993, HUD and
Pacific Thrift entered into a settlement agreement in which Pacific Thrift
agreed not to seek claims for insurance on 24 loans that violated the
prohibition against subordinating Title I loans to non-Title I loans, as well
as on three loans in which the proceeds were used for ineligible purposes.  HUD
did not impose any penalties or take any other action.

20. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 1994

During February 1995, Pacific Thrift submitted its original capital restoration
plan to the FDIC, but the FDIC denied approval of the plan and required certain
modifications.  During March 1995, Pacific Thrift submitted a revised capital
restoration plan, including a guarantee by the Partnership and, in May 1995, the
revised capital restoration plan was incorporated by reference in a new C&D (see
below)

In May 1995, Pacific Thrift was informed by the FDIC that, based on unaudited
financial information in the Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (Call
Report) filed for the first quarter of 1995, Pacific Thrift was "adequately
capitalized" as of March 31, 1995.  Based on such Call Report, Pacific Thrift's
unaudited capital ratios as of March 31, 1995 were as follows:
<TABLE>

                                             Capital Ratio as of March 31, 1995

Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)         8.0             8.5
</TABLE>


In addition, Pacific Thrift was informed by the DOC that Pacific Thrift had
cured the deficiency in its net worth as of April 30, 1995 and has complied 
with the Order.

Also in May 1995, the FDIC terminated the prior C&Ds, and the FDIC and DOC
issued a new comprehensive Order to Cease and Desist (the new C&D) with the
consent of Pacific Thrift.  The new C&D: requires that Pacific Thrift have and
retain qualified management;  requires that Pacific Thrift have Tier 1 capital
which equals or exceeds 8% of total assets on or before September 30, 1995;
requires that Pacific Thrift maintain at least  the minimum risk-based capital
levels throughout the life of the new C&D;  requires Pacific Thrift to eliminate
from its books, through charge-off or collection, all assets classified "loss"
as of September 1994 within 10 days from the effective date of the new C&D;
requires Pacific Thrift to reduce assets classified "substandard" as of
September 1994 to $6.5 million within 180 days and to $5 million within 365
days;  prohibits Pacific Thrift from extending any additional credit to any
borrower who has a loan with Pacific Thrift which has been charged off or
classified "loss"; requires Board of Directors or loan committee approval prior
to the extension of additional credit to a borrower who has a loan classified
"substandard"; requires Pacific Thrift to establish within 10 days, and then to
maintain on a quarterly basis, an adequate allowance for loan losses;  requires
that Pacific Thrift implement within 60 days the provisions of the capital
restoration and business/profitability plans submitted to the FDIC in order to
control overhead and other expenses and restore profitability; requires that
Pacific Thrift correct the violation of the thrift-to-capital ratio required
under California law within 60 days; requires that Pacific Thrift file with the
FDIC amended Call Reports as of December 31, 1993 and as of the end of the first
three quarters of 1994 which accurately reflect Pacific Thrift's financial
condition as of those dates; requires that throughout the life of the new C&D,
Pacific Thrift shall file Call Reports which accurately reflect Pacific Thrift's
financial condition as of the end of each period; prohibits Pacific Thrift from
paying cash dividends in any amount without the prior written approval of the
FDIC; prohibits Pacific Thrift from opening any additional offices without the
prior written approval of the FDIC; and requires the Company to submit written
progress reports on a quarterly basis until the Company accomplishes the
corrections and is released by the Regional Director of FDIC and the
Commissioner of the DOC.

Noncompliance with the terms of the new C&D could result in various regulatory
actions, including the assessment of civil money penalties, termination of
deposit insurance, and placing Pacific Thrift in conservatorship of
receivership.  Although there is no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, these
consolidated financial statements do not include any provisions or adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

As of December 31, 1995, Pacific Thrift had increased its total risk-based
capital ratio to 12.4%, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio to 11.2% and its
leverage capital ratio to 9.1%, which meet the FDIC definition of "well
capitalized."  However, due to the requirement of maintaining a specific
capital level, the Company would be classified as ""adequately capitalized''
under the regulation.

On March 27, 1996, Pacific Thrift was notified by the FDIC that, based on the
FDIC examination of the September 30, 1995 financial information, full
compliance with the new C&D is reported.  On April 1, 1996, Pacific Thrift
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the FDIC and DOC.  The
MOU provides a framework for Pacific Thrift's recovery and its provisions are
similar to crucial sections of the existing C&D.  However, since the MOU
contain provisions requiring the maintenance of a specified capital level,
Pacific Thrift would be classified as "adequately capitalized" under the
regulations, and continue to be considered a troubled institution for all
regulatory purposes.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require Pacific Thrift to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Tier 1 capital
(as defined) to average assets (as defined) of 4%, and Tier 1 capital (as
defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) of 4% and total capital (as
defined) to risk weighted assets (as defined) of 8%. To be considered well
capitalized as defined under the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) provisions of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, Pacific
Thrift must maintain minimum ratios for Tier 1 leverage of 5%, Tier 1
risk-based of 6%, and total risk-based of 10%.

At December 31, 1996, Pacific Thrift had unaudited Tier 1 capital to average
assets of 8.7%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.6% and total
capital to risk-weighted assets of 11.9%, which meet the FDIC definition of
"well capitalized."  However, due to the requirement of maintaining a specific
capital level in the March 1996 MOU, Pacific Thrift would be classified as
"adequately capitalized" under the regulation.

21. SUBSEQUENT NAME CHANGE

In February 1997 PacificAmerica Lending, Inc. changed its name to
PacificAmerica Money Centers, Inc., doing business in California as
PacificAmerica Money Center, of California.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT



            This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
June 27, 1996, by and between PACIFICAMERICA MONEY CENTER, INC., a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter referred to as "EMPLOYER") and CHARLES J. SIEGEL
(hereinafter referred to as "SIEGEL") on the following terms and conditions:

            1.    TERM OF AGREEMENT; DUTIES.

                  1. Term. EMPLOYER hereby agrees to employ SIEGEL as Chief
Financial Officer of EMPLOYER, Pacific Thrift and Loan Company, Inc., a
California corporation ("Pacific Thrift") and PacificAmerica Lending,
Inc.("PAL"), a Delaware corporation, both of which are operating subsidiaries of
the EMPLOYER, for a two-year term, commencing on the date hereof, and SIEGEL
hereby agrees to accept such employment for such term, subject to earlier
termination under the circumstances provided herein. The term of this Agreement
shall be extended automatically to cover successive terms of one year commencing
on each anniversary date of the date hereof after the initial two-year term,
unless, at least six months prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal
term hereof, SIEGEL gives written notice to the Board of Directors of EMPLOYER
(the "Board"), or EMPLOYER gives written notice to SIEGEL, of an intent to
terminate this Agreement at the end of such term.

                  2. Duties. SIEGEL, subject to the direction and control of the
Board, shall devote all of SIEGEL'S productive time, attention and energies to
discharging, and shall perform, such executive duties and managerial
responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer of EMPLOYER, Pacific Thrift and PAL
as may from time to time be specified by EMPLOYER, and will use SIEGEL'S best
efforts to promote the interests of EMPLOYER and its subsidiaries and
affiliates. The performance of such duties and responsibilities shall be
performed primarily in Los Angeles County and shall be SIEGEL'S exclusive
employment for compensation; provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to limit SIEGEL'S right to engage in other activities that do
not interfere with SIEGEL'S duties hereunder, with the consent of the Board.

            2.    COMPENSATION.

                  (a) In consideration for the services to be rendered by SIEGEL
hereunder during the term of SIEGEL'S employment, including all services to be
rendered as an officer and executive of EMPLOYER, its subsidiaries and
affiliates, EMPLOYER agrees to compensate SIEGEL as follows:

                        (i) During the term of this Agreement, EMPLOYER shall
pay SIEGEL a salary at an annual base rate of one hundred sixty thousand dollars
($160,000) per year, which shall
<PAGE>   2
be adjusted annually on December 31 of each year, to reflect, at a minimum, any
increase from the previous year in the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles,
California area (the "Base Salary"), in addition to such merit salary increase
as shall be determined by the Board of Directors or the Employee Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. The applicable Base Salary shall be payable
not less frequently than monthly in accordance with the regular salary procedure
from time to time adopted by EMPLOYER. There shall be deducted from all
compensation paid to SIEGEL such sums, including but not limited to Social
Security, income tax withholding, employment insurance, and any and all other
such deductions, as EMPLOYER is by law obligated to withhold.

                        (ii) SIEGEL shall be reimbursed for SIEGEL'S reasonable
and actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by SIEGEL in performance of SIEGEL'S
duties and responsibilities hereunder, provided that SIEGEL shall first furnish
to EMPLOYER proper vouchers and/or receipts.

                        (iii) SIEGEL shall be entitled to participate in, and
shall be included in, such insurance, pension, profit sharing, stock option,
stock purchase, employee cash bonus pools, and other employee benefit plans of
EMPLOYER as are in effect from time to time during the term of this Agreement
and provided to other senior executive employees of EMPLOYER, including, but not
limited to, EMPLOYER'S Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (all of which are
collectively referred to herein as the "Benefit Plans").

                        (iv) SIEGEL shall also be entitled to all perquisites
provided in accordance with EMPLOYER'S policy for senior management executives
from time to time in effect (all of which are collectively referred to herein as
the "Perquisites"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall each or any
of the Perquisites provided pursuant to the terms of this Section 2 (a) (iv) be
lesser in value than such perquisites as were provided to SIEGEL by Pacific
Thrift, Presidential Mortgage Company, a California limited partnership
("Presidential") and/or Presidential Management Company, a California limited
partnership, and in effect immediately prior to the transfer of assets by
Presidential to EMPLOYER. Perquisites provided pursuant to this Section 2(a)
(iv) shall include, without limitation, use of an automobile or automobile
allowance, expense allowances, vacation days, sick days and holidays, and
medical, dental and life insurance benefits.

            3. DISABILITY. If, on account of any physical or mental disability,
SIEGEL shall fail or be unable to perform under this Agreement for any period of
one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days or for an aggregate period of one
hundred twenty (120) or more days during any consecutive twelve-month period,
EMPLOYER may, at its option, at any time thereafter, upon written notice to
SIEGEL, terminate the employment relationship provided for in this Agreement. In
such event, SIEGEL'S requirement to


                                       2
<PAGE>   3
render services hereunder and EMPLOYER'S requirement to compensate SIEGEL
hereunder shall terminate and come to an end upon the date provided in such
notice. In that event, SIEGEL shall be entitled to receive, as disability
compensation: (i) SIEGEL'S Base Salary for one year following termination of
this Agreement payable not less frequently than monthly,(ii) the cash value of
all vacation, holiday and sick days which have accrued up to the date of
disability, and (iii) use of an automobile or automobile allowance, full
automobile insurance coverage, and health insurance coverage under any health
insurance policies maintained by EMPLOYER for its other senior executives, all
of which shall be provided pursuant to the terms of Section 2 (a) (iv) herein
and shall continue to be provided without interruption for the greater of one
year following the effective date of termination pursuant to this Section 3 or
the remainder of the term of this Agreement. EMPLOYER may, at its option, apply
for disability income insurance and, if so, any obligation on the part of
EMPLOYER to pay SIEGEL any monthly payments on account of any physical or mental
disability of SIEGEL as specified above, shall be reduced by the amount of any
monthly payments to SIEGEL under any such disability income policy. Any payments
to SIEGEL under any state disability insurance shall not reduce the amount
payable to SIEGEL under this Agreement.

            4. DEATH. In the event of SIEGEL'S death during the term hereof,
this Agreement shall terminate immediately. In such event, SIEGEL's personal
representative shall be entitled to receive, as a death benefit, in addition to
any other payments which SIEGEL's personal representative may be entitled to
receive under any Benefit Plans, SIEGEL'S Base Salary for one year following
SIEGEL'S death, payable not less frequently than monthly, together with the cash
value of all vacation, holiday and sick days which have accrued up to the date
of death.

            EMPLOYER may maintain life insurance on the life of SIEGEL in favor
of the EMPLOYER. SIEGEL shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy or
policies, except as otherwise provided in any split dollar life insurance
agreements, but SIEGEL shall, at the request of EMPLOYER, submit to such medical
examinations, supply such information, consent to such blood tests and execute
such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to whom
EMPLOYER has applied for such insurance.

            5. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. EMPLOYER may discharge SIEGEL at any time
for cause. "Cause" for discharge shall mean (i) theft or embezzlement by SIEGEL
from EMPLOYER or its affiliates, (ii) fraud or other acts of dishonesty by
SIEGEL in the conduct of EMPLOYER'S business or the fulfillment of SIEGEL'S
assigned responsibilities hereunder, (iii) SIEGEL'S conviction of, or plea of
nolo contendere to, any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, (iv)
SIEGEL'S willfully and knowingly taking any action which is materially injurious
to EMPLOYER'S business or reputation. Within 10 business days following


                                       3
<PAGE>   4
receipt of written notice of termination for Cause, SIEGEL shall have the right
to demand and, if demanded, to receive within 30 days, an opportunity to respond
and defend himself before the Board and to have the Board by resolution confirm
by a three-fourths affirmative vote that EMPLOYER has grounds to terminate
SIEGEL for Cause. If the Board does not determine that Cause exists, SIEGEL
shall have the option to treat his employment as not having terminated or as
having been terminated by EMPLOYER without cause as defined in Section 6 herein.
Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5 shall be construed to
require that SIEGEL demand a hearing before the Board as a condition to pursuing
any claim or action with respect to the matters contained in this Agreement, and
nothing in this Section 5 shall limit SIEGEL'S rights under applicable law. The
occurrence of any event constituting cause for discharge shall permit, but not
require, EMPLOYER to terminate SIEGEL for Cause; provided, however, that
EMPLOYER'S decision not to terminate the SIEGEL upon the occurrence of an event
constituting cause for discharge shall not operate as a waiver of its rights
provided in this Section 5 or otherwise.

            If EMPLOYER terminates SIEGEL for Cause, EMPLOYER shall be obligated
to provide to SIEGEL only the Base Salary provided for in Section 2 (a) (i)
herein through the date of termination of SIEGEL at the rate in effect on the
date of such termination, together with the cash value of all vacation, holiday
and sick days which have accrued up to the date of termination. The decision to
terminate SIEGEL shall be confidential, except to the extent disclosure is
required by law.

            6. TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Should EMPLOYER terminate this
Agreement for reasons other than those specified in Sections 3, 4, 5, or 7
herein, SIEGEL shall be entitled to use of an automobile or automobile
allowance, full automobile insurance coverage, and health insurance coverage
under any health insurance policies maintained by EMPLOYER for its other senior
executives, all of which shall be provided pursuant to the terms of Section 2
(a) (iv) herein and shall continue to be provided without interruption for six
months following the effective date of termination pursuant to this Section 6.
Upon termination pursuant to this Section 6, EMPLOYER shall additionally pay to
SIEGEL a lump sum payment, to be paid on the effective date of termination
pursuant to this Section 6, which shall consist of: (i) one-half of the full
annual Base Salary, and (ii) the cash value of all vacation, holiday and sick
days which have accrued up to the date of termination and which would have
accrued for six months following termination pursuant to this Section 6. (The
sum of all amounts and benefits to be provided by EMPLOYER to SIEGEL pursuant to
this Section 6 is collectively referred to herein as the "Termination Payment".)

            7.    CORPORATE CHANGES.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
                  (a) Definition. SIEGEL may terminate his employment hereunder
upon thirty (30) days written notice at any time within one year following the
occurrence of a Corporate Change. For purposes of this Section 7, a "Corporate
Change" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of any one (or
more) of the following events: (i) a transaction in which EMPLOYER ceases to be
an independent publicly owned corporation that is required to file quarterly and
annual reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) a sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, or a majority of the
outstanding capital stock, of EMPLOYER (including but not limited to the assets
or stock of EMPLOYER'S subsidiaries that results in all or substantially all of
the assets or stock of EMPLOYER on a consolidated basis being sold), (iii) as a
result of, or in connection with, any cash tender offer, exchange offer, merger
or other business combination, sale of assets, or contested election for the
Board, or combination of the foregoing, persons who were directors of EMPLOYER
just prior to such event(s) shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board,
(iv) any person, including a group as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, becomes the beneficial owner of
shares of EMPLOYER with respect to which twenty percent (20%) or more of the
total number of votes for the election of the Board may be cast, (v) EMPLOYER'S
stockholders cause a change in the majority of the members of the Board within a
twelve (12) month period; provided, however, that the election of one or more
new directors shall not be deemed to be a change in the membership of the Board
if the nomination of the newly elected directors was approved by the vote of
three-fourths of the directors then still in office who were directors at the
beginning of such twelve (12) month period, or (vi) a tender offer or exchange
offer is made for shares of the EMPLOYER'S common stock (other than one made by
the EMPLOYER) and shares of common stock are acquired thereunder.

                  (b) Payments. Upon termination of employment pursuant to
Section 7(a) hereof, SIEGEL shall be entitled to use of an automobile or
automobile allowance, full automobile insurance coverage, and health insurance
coverage under any health insurance policies maintained by EMPLOYER for its
other senior executive officers, all of which shall be provided pursuant to the
terms of Section 2 (a) (iv) herein and shall continue to be provided without
interruption for six months following the effective date of termination pursuant
to this Section 7. EMPLOYER shall additionally pay to SIEGEL a lump sum payment,
to be paid within five (5) days after the date of SIEGEL'S notice pursuant to
Section 7 (a) herein, which shall consist of: (i) two times the full annual Base
Salary plus three times the amount of the last annual bonus paid to SIEGEL for
the most recent fiscal year, and (ii) the cash value of all vacation, holiday
and sick days which have accrued up to the date of termination and which would
have accrued for six months following termination pursuant to this Section 7.
(The sum of all amounts and benefits to be provided by EMPLOYER to SIEGEL
pursuant to this Section 7 (b) is collectively referred to herein as the


                                       5
<PAGE>   6
"Corporate Changes Termination Payment"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
SIEGEL gives notice of termination pursuant to this Section 7 prior to the
closing of a transaction referred to in Section 7(a)(i) or (ii) hereof, the
Corporate Changes Termination Payment must be made a condition to and must be
paid on the date of the closing of such a transaction.

                  (c) Tax Limitations on Corporate Changes Payments. If the
aggregate of all payments, including but not limited to, the Corporate Changes
Termination Payment that is to be paid to SIEGEL contingent on those Corporate
Changes specified in Section 7 (a) herein (the "Aggregate Amount"), would
constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280 G of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or supplemented (the "Code"), the Corporate
Changes Termination Payment otherwise payable to the SIEGEL pursuant to Section
7 (b) herein shall be equal to the higher of: (i) the amount (referred to herein
as the "Reduced Amount") that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Amount
being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or (ii) the
full Aggregate Amount if the net after tax payments to SIEGEL would exceed the
Reduced Amount. The determination of the Corporate Changes Termination Payment,
the Reduced Amount and the net after tax amount payable to SIEGEL on the full
Aggregate Amount shall be made by the SIEGEL and the EMPLOYER in good faith, and
in the event they disagree, such determination shall be made by means of
arbitration to be conducted at the EMPLOYER'S expense. Any such arbitration
shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California, by one arbitrator, who shall be a
member of a nationally recognized accounting firm that is not then engaged by
the EMPLOYER or any of its major stockholders, and who shall be jointly
designated by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the selection of an
arbitrator, EMPLOYER'S then current independent auditors shall select such
arbitrator. The findings of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding on
the parties. For purposes of this Section 7(c), the net after tax amount payable
to SIEGEL shall mean the present value, as determined in accordance with Section
280G(d)(4) of the Code, of any payment or distribution in the nature of
compensation to or for SIEGEL'S benefit, whether paid or payable pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise, net of all taxes imposed on the SIEGEL with respect
thereto under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code, determined by applying the
highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code.

                  (d) Management Changes. SIEGEL may terminate his employment
hereunder upon thirty (30) days written notice at any time within one year
following the occurrence of a Management Change, which shall be deemed to have
occurred upon the termination of both of Joel R. Schultz and Richard D. Young as
President and Senior Executive vice President, respectively of EMPLOYER. Upon
termination of employment pursuant to this Section 7(d), SIEGEL shall be
entitled to a lump sum payment, to be paid within five (5) days after the date
of SIEGEL'S notice pursuant to this Section 7(d), which shall consist of: (i)
two


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
times the full annual Base Salary plus an amount equal to the last annual
bonus paid to SIEGEL for the most recent fiscal year, and (ii) the cash value of
all vacation, holiday and sick days which have accrued up to the date of
termination.

            8.    RIGHTS TO PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.

                  (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Proprietary
Information" means and includes: 2. all written, oral and visual information
about EMPLOYER's customers, clients, employees, consultants and brokers that is
not readily known or available to the public, or that SIEGEL learns of or
acquires through his employment by EMPLOYER; and 3. financial information,
marketing techniques and materials, marketing and development plans, broker
lists, customer lists, other information concerning brokers and customers,
pricing information and policies, price lists, employee files, corporate and
business contacts and relationships, corporate and business opportunities,
telephone logs and messages, video or audio tapes and/or disks, photographs,
film and slides, including all negatives and positive and prints, computer disks
and files, rolodex cards, addresses and telephone numbers, contracts, releases,
other writings of any kind, and any and all other materials of a proprietary
nature to which SIEGEL is exposed or has access as a consequence of his
employment by EMPLOYER. All of the Proprietary Information is, and at all times
shall be and remain, private and confidential and is the sole and exclusive
property of, and owned and controlled by EMPLOYER, regardless of whether such
Proprietary Information is in tangible or intangible form. The parties
understand that information that is generally known to the public, or which
SIEGEL acquired other than as a consequence of his employment by EMPLOYER, such
as in the course of similar employment or work elsewhere shall not be deemed
part of the Proprietary Information.

                  (b) All Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of
EMPLOYER, its successors and assigns, and EMPLOYER, its successors and assigns
shall be the sole owner of all patents, trademarks, service marks and
copyrights, and other rights (collectively referred to herein as "Rights")
pertaining to Proprietary Information. SIEGEL hereby assigns to EMPLOYER any
rights SIEGEL may have or acquire in Proprietary Information or Rights
pertaining to the Proprietary Information. SIEGEL further agrees as to all
Proprietary Information to assist EMPLOYER or any person designated by it in
every necessary or appropriate manner (but at EMPLOYER's expense) to obtain and
from time to time enforce Rights relating to said Proprietary Information
throughout the universe. SIEGEL will execute all documents for use in applying
for, obtaining and enforcing such Rights on such Proprietary Information as
EMPLOYER may desire, together with any assumptions thereof to EMPLOYER or
persons designated by it. SIEGEL's obligation to assist EMPLOYER or any person
designated by it in obtaining and enforcing Rights relating to Proprietary
Information shall continue beyond the


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
cessation of his employment. It is provided, however, that EMPLOYER shall
compensate SIEGEL at a reasonable rate after the cessation of employment for
time actually spent by SIEGEL upon EMPLOYER's request for such assistance, at a
rate not less than SIEGEL'S last salary rate, on a pro rated per hour basis, in
effect on the date of his termination. In the event that EMPLOYER is unable,
after reasonable effort, to secure SIEGEL's signature on any document or
documents needed to apply for or enforce any Right relating to Proprietary
Information, whether because of his physical or mental incapacity or for any
other reason whatsoever, SIEGEL hereby irrevocably designates and appoints
EMPLOYER and its duly authorized officers and agents as his agents and
attorneys-in-fact to act for and in his behalf and stead in the execution and
filing of any such application and in furthering the application for an
enforcement of Rights with the same legal force and effect as if such acts were
performed by SIEGEL.

                  (c) At all times, both during his employment and after the
cessation of employment, whether the cessation is voluntary or involuntary, for
any reason or no reason, or by disability, SIEGEL will keep in strictest
confidence and trust all Proprietary Information, and SIEGEL will not disclose,
use, or induce or assist in the use or disclosure of any Proprietary Information
or Rights pertaining to Proprietary Information, or anything related thereto,
without the prior, express written consent of EMPLOYER, except as may be
necessary in the ordinary course of performing his duties as an employee of
EMPLOYER. SIEGEL recognizes that EMPLOYER has received and in the future will
receive from third parties their confidential, trade secret, or Proprietary
Information subject to a duty on EMPLOYER's part to maintain the confidentiality
of such information and to use it only in connection with the performance of his
duties as an employee of EMPLOYER. SIEGEL agrees that SIEGEL owes EMPLOYER and
such third parties, during his employment and thereafter, a duty to hold all
such confidential, trade secret, or Proprietary Information in the strictest
confidence, and SIEGEL will not disclose, use, or induce or assist in the use or
disclosure of any such confidential, trade secret, or Proprietary Information
without the prior, express written consent of EMPLOYER, except as may be
necessary in the ordinary course of performing his duties as an employee of
EMPLOYER consistent with EMPLOYER's agreement with such third party.

                  (d) SIEGEL agrees that all material or other original works of
authorship written, created, or developed by SIEGEL in connection with his
employment hereunder (whether alone or in conjunction with any other person),
and all rights of any and every kind whatsoever in and to the results and
proceeds of SIEGEL's services rendered hereunder, whether or not such rights are
now known, recognized or contemplated, and the complete, unconditional and
unencumbered ownership in and to such materials, results and proceeds for all
purposes whatsoever shall be "works for hire," as that term is defined in the
United States


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Section 101), and shall be the sole and absolute
property of EMPLOYER, its successors and assigns, and SIEGEL agrees that he/she
does not have and will not claim to have, either under this Agreement or
otherwise, any right, title or interest of any kind or nature whatsoever in or
to said property.

                  (e) SIEGEL will promptly disclose to EMPLOYER, and EMPLOYER
hereby agrees to receive such disclosures in confidence, all discoveries,
developments, designs, improvements, inventions, software programs, processes,
techniques, know-how, negative know-how and data, whether or not patentable or
registrable under patent, copyright or similar statutes or reduced to practice,
made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by SIEGEL, either alone or
jointly with others during the period of his employment, for the purpose of
permitting EMPLOYER to determine whether they constitute Proprietary
Information, or copyrightable or patentable material.

            9.    NON-COMPETITION/NON-SOLICITATION.

                  (a) During the period of his employment, SIEGEL will not
directly or indirectly engage in any activity which competes with EMPLOYER, or
which EMPLOYER shall determine in good faith to be in competition with EMPLOYER
or any subsidiary or affiliate of EMPLOYER. In addition, during his employment
and after the cessation of employment, SIEGEL will not, alone or in concert with
others, or on his own behalf, or on behalf of any other person, in any way use
or disclose Proprietary Information in order to solicit, entice, or in any way
divert any broker to do business with any competitor of EMPLOYER or any
subsidiary or affiliate of EMPLOYER. During his employment, SIEGEL agrees not to
plan or otherwise take any preliminary steps, either alone or in concert with
others, or on his own behalf, or on behalf of any other person, to set up or
engage in any business enterprise that would be in competition with EMPLOYER or
any subsidiary or affiliate of EMPLOYER.

                  (b) During his employment and for a period of two (2) years
after the cessation of employment, SIEGEL will not, either directly or
indirectly, either alone or in concert with others or on his own behalf or on
behalf of any other person, solicit, divert, entice, recruit, or employ any
employee of or consultant to EMPLOYER, or any subsidiary or affiliate of
EMPLOYER, to leave employment with or otherwise terminate employment with
EMPLOYER or any subsidiary or affiliate of EMPLOYER or work for any competitor
of EMPLOYER or any subsidiary or affiliate of EMPLOYER.

                  (c) SIEGEL recognizes that the immediate and continuous
performance of his obligations in this paragraph 9 is extremely important and
valuable to EMPLOYER because of the extensive and costly training given to its
employees and the knowledge gained by such employees of the Proprietary
Information


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
used by EMPLOYER in its operations. In the event of his breach of those
obligations, SIEGEL therefore agrees that EMPLOYER shall be entitled to
estimated or liquidated damages, as defined herein. For each employee of
EMPLOYER whom SIEGEL solicits, diverts, recruits, or employs in violation of
this paragraph 9, and for each broker or mortgage loan customer of EMPLOYER whom
such employee handled for EMPLOYER and whom the employee contacts or otherwise
services or works with for his benefit or for the benefit of anyone in privity
with SIEGEL, including any competitor of EMPLOYER or any subsidiary or affiliate
of EMPLOYER with whom SIEGEL accepts employment in breach of this paragraph 9,
SIEGEL shall pay EMPLOYER liquidated damages. The liquidated damages for each
such broker or customer shall be (i) the amount of profit earned by EMPLOYER
from mortgage loan referrals from each broker, or the amount of profit earned on
loans to each mortgage loan customer, during the twelve (12) months immediately
preceding termination of such employer with EMPLOYER, and (ii) the amount of
cost to EMPLOYER to recruit and train a replacement for each such employee plus
the first six (6) month's salary paid to the replacement(s) for such employee.
If the employee was not in a position of have contacts with brokers or to
otherwise generate business from mortgage loan customers, the liquidated damages
shall be the amount of the cost to EMPLOYER to recruit and train a
replacement(s) for the employee. SIEGEL further agrees that the cost to recruit
and train replacement(s) for each employee as described in this paragraph 9 will
be part of EMPLOYER's damages and that the profit formula for employees who had
broker or mortgage loan business contact, and the first six (6) months salary
paid to the replacement(s) for employees, are conservative estimates of the
value, or a portion of the value, of the employee to EMPLOYER.

            10.   SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT.

                  (a) EMPLOYER will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of EMPLOYER to expressly assume
and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
that EMPLOYER would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken
place. Any failure of EMPLOYER to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to
the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material breach of this
Agreement and shall entitle SIEGEL to compensation from EMPLOYER in the same
amount and on the same terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if EMPLOYER
were to terminate employment pursuant to Section 7 hereof, except that for
purposes of implementing the foregoing, the day before any such succession
becomes effective shall be deemed the date that payment is due. As used in this
Agreement, "EMPLOYER" shall mean EMPLOYER as hereinbefore defined and any
successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to
perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11
                  (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be
enforceable by, SIEGEL'S personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If
SIEGEL should die while any amount would still be payable to him hereunder if he
had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall
be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to his devisees, legatee
or other designees, or if there is no such designee, to his estate.

            11. NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been given at the time delivered, if personally delivered, or twenty-four hours

                               FIRST AMENDMENT TO
                         MASTER LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  This First Amendment to Master Loan Purchase Agreement (the
"Amendment"), dated as of December __, 1996, between PacificAmerica Money
Center, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as seller ("Seller"), and Aames Capital
Corporation, a California corporation, as purchaser ("Purchaser"), with
reference to the following facts:

                  A. Seller and Purchaser are parties to a Master Loan Purchase
Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of October 31, 1996.

                  B. Seller and Purchaser desire to amend the provisions of
Section 2.01(a) of the Agreement in the manner set forth herein.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

                  1. The last sentence of Section 2.01(a) of the Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

                     "In the event that any Mortgage Loans are not included in
                     an Aames Mortgage Trust within 120 days after the date that
                     such Mortgage Loans were sold to Purchaser hereunder,
                     Purchaser shall be obligated to consider any offers to
                     purchase the Mortgage Loans presented to it by any
                     unrelated third party. Purchaser shall be required to
                     provide written notice to Seller within one Business Day
                     after the receipt of any offer to purchase the Mortgage
                     Loans, and Seller shall have a right of first refusal,
                     exercisable for a period of thirty days from the date of
                     Seller's receipt of Purchaser's written notice of a third
                     party offer, to repurchase the Mortgage Loans so offered,
                     at a price equal to the applicable Repurchase Price, less
                     any amounts owed by Purchaser to Seller for Interim Net
                     Spread."

                  2. Except as modified herein, all terms and conditions of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without modification, and all of
the general terms and conditions of the Agreement, including without limitation
the provisions of Article Nine of the Agreement, shall apply to this Amendment.

                  In witness whereof, Seller and Purchaser have each caused this
Amendment to be executed on its behalf by its duly authorized officer.

                               SECOND AMENDMENT TO
                         MASTER LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                  This Second Amendment to Master Loan Purchase Agreement (the
"Amendment"), is made as of January 1, 1997, between PacificAmerica Money
Center, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as seller ("Seller"), and Aames Capital
Corporation, a California corporation, as purchaser ("Purchaser"), with
reference to the following facts:

                  A. Seller and Purchaser are parties to a Master Loan Purchase
Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of October 31, 1996. All capitalized terms
referred to in this Amendment and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Agreement.

                  B. Seller and Purchaser have agreed that Seller shall have no
obligation to deliver the Quarterly Commitment Amount of Mortgage Loans for
purchase by Purchaser, as currently provided for in the Agreement, until the
date (the "Recommencement Date") which is 30 days after the date that Purchaser
notifies Seller that it has implemented a Home Equity Line of Credit ("HELOC")
Program in which Seller can originate and sell loans to Purchaser (pre-approved
by Purchaser for purchase if required by Seller) with loan-to-value ratios at
least five percentage points higher than the loan-to-value ratios currently
required under Purchaser's lending Guidelines. Seller and Purchaser therefore
desire to amend the Agreement as provided for herein.

                  C. Seller and Purchaser have further agreed that, because only
$14,936,821.84 principal amount of loans which have previously been sold to
Purchaser are available for securitization in the next Aames Mortgage Trust, the
purchase price for such loans will be modified to an amount which is 108% of the
total principal balance of such loans on the date of sale thereof (of which 100%
of the principal balance of such loans has previously been paid) plus accrued
interest and interest payments actually received on such loans from the date of
sale until the date of payment of the premium provided for herein, less the
Servicing Fee payable to Purchaser and a monthly financing fee determined in
accordance with the formula provided in the definition of Interim Net Spread in
the Agreement, with no continuing interest of Seller in the Excess Spread or
otherwise with respect to such loans.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

                  1. The definition of "Quarterly Commitment Amount" contained
in Section 1.01 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:

                     "The lesser of (i) the total aggregate principal balance of
                     all HELOC loans made by Seller which are Qualified Mortgage
                     Loans, plus any other Qualified Mortgage Loans which
                     Seller, in its sole discretion, determines to offer to
                     Purchaser, during such Quarterly Commitment Period and (ii)
                     $50 million plus the Aggregate Quarterly Commitment
                     Deficiency."

                  2. The definition of "Quarterly Commitment Deficiency"
contained in Section 1.01 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

                     "With respect to any Quarterly Commitment Period beginning
                     with the first full quarter which begins after the
                     Recommencement Date, for any Quarterly Commitment Period in
                     which Seller offers for sale to Purchaser pursuant to
                     Section 2.01 Qualified Mortgage Loans with an aggregate
                     Principal Balance less than $50 million, the difference
                     between $50 million and the aggregate Principal Balance of
                     Qualified Mortgage Loans so offered."

                  3. The first sentence of Section 2.01(a) of the Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

                     "During the Term of the Agreement, Seller shall offer for
                     sale to Purchaser during each Quarterly Commitment Period,
                     Qualified Mortgage Loans in such
<PAGE>   3
                     amount as Seller shall determine; provided that, after the
                     Recommencement Date, Seller shall offer for sale to
                     Purchaser during each Quarterly Commitment Period all HELOC
                     loans made by Seller which are Qualified Mortgage Loans
                     (pre-approved for purchase by Purchaser if required by
                     Seller), plus any other Qualified Mortgage Loans which
                     Seller, in its sole discretion, determines to offer to
                     Purchaser, during such Quarterly Commitment Period, in an
                     aggregate principal amount of not less than the quarterly
                     Commitment Amount." Seller shall have the right to require
                     that Purchaser pre-approve for purchase by Purchaser all
                     HELOC and companion loans secured by the same property as
                     any HELOC originated by Seller, in which case Purchaser
                     hereby unconditionally agrees to purchase all such loans
                     which are so pre-approved, provided that such loans are
                     Qualified Mortgage Loans.

                  4. The last sentence of Section 2.01(c) of the Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

                     "Seller shall have the right to offer and sell any Mortgage
                     Loans offered to Purchaser and not accepted for purchase by
                     Purchaser to other Persons for purchase, securitization or
                     other disposition."

                  5. Section 2.01(e) is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall
hereafter be referred to as [intentionally omitted].

                  6. With respect to the $14,936,821.84 principal amount (as
determined on the date of sale of such loans, referred to herein as the "Sale
Date Principal Balance") of loans previously sold by Seller to Purchaser which
have not been included in an Aames Mortgage Trust as of the date hereof (the
"1996 Fourth Quarter Loans") Seller and Purchaser agree that the purchase price
for such loans shall be modified to equal 108% of the total principal balance of
such loans on the date of sale thereof (of which 100% of the principal balance
of such loans has previously been paid) plus accrued interest and interest
payments actually received on such loans from the date of sale until the date of
payment of the premium provided for herein, less the Servicing Fee payable to
Purchaser and a monthly financing fee determined in accordance with the formula
provided in the definition of Interim Net Spread in the Agreement. Seller and
Purchaser further agree that Seller shall have no further interest in the 1996
Fourth Quarter Loans or in the Aames Mortgage Trust in which such loans may be
included at any time in the future. However, within 10 days after the date, if
any, on which total Loans sold by Seller to Purchaser under the Agreement equal
an aggregate Principal Balance of at least $250 million, Purchaser will pay to
Seller an additional 3% of the Sale Date Principal Balance of the 1996 Fourth
Quarter Loans. All other provisions of the Agreement with respect to the 1996
Fourth Quarter Loans, and the terms of sale of such loans by Seller to
Purchaser, shall continue to apply with respect to such loans.

                  7. Except as modified herein and as necessary to carry out the
intentions of the parties as reflected in this Amendment, all terms and
conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without
modification, and all of the general terms and conditions of the Agreement,
including without limitation the provisions of Article Nine of the Agreement,
shall apply to this Amendment.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Seller and Purchaser have each caused this
Amendment to be executed on its behalf by its duly authorized officer.

Dear Cary:

                  You are hereby notified that PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc.
("PAMM"), a Delaware corporation, has assigned to Pacific Thrift and Loan
Company ("Pacific Thrift"), a California corporation, all of its right, title
and interest in and to all of the following payment obligations of Aames Capital
Corporation ("Aames") under that certain First Amendment (the "Amendment") dated
as of January 1, 1997, to Master Loan Purchase Agreement (the "Aames
Agreement"), dated as of October 31, 1996, by and between PAMM and Aames: all
obligations of Aames for payment of the adjusted purchase price with respect to
the $14,936,821.84 principal amount (as determined on the date of sale of such
loans, referred to herein as the "Sale Date Principal Balance") of loans
previously sold by PAMM to Aames which have not been included in an Aames
Mortgage Trust as of the date hereof (the "1996 Fourth Quarter Loans"). Pursuant
to the Amendment, PAMM and Aames have agreed that the purchase price for such
loans shall be modified to equal 108% of the total principal balance of such
loans on the date of sale thereof (of which 100% of the principal balance of
such loans has previously been paid) plus accrued interest and interest payments
actually received on such loans from the date of sale until the date of payment
of the premium provided for herein, less the Servicing Fee payable to Aames and
a monthly financing fee determined in accordance with the formula provided in

right to receive an additional 3% of the Sale Date Principal Balance of the 1996
Fourth Quarter Loans, payable by Aames within 10 days after the date, if any, on
which total Loans sold by PAMM to Aames under the Agreement equal an aggregate
Principal Balance of at least $250 million. You are hereby instructed to make
all such payments, as they become due and payable, to Pacific Thrift. PAMM
hereby releases and discharges Aames and AFC from any claim to any payment made
by Aames or AFC to Pacific Thrift pursuant to the terms of this letter of
instruction.

Qualifying Loans presented to it by any unrelated third party; provided, that
nothing in this Section 5(a) shall be construed to require the Buyer to solicit

notice within ____ Business Days after the receipt of any offer to purchase the
Qualifying Loans, and Seller shall have a right of first refusal, exercisable
for a period of ____ Business Days from the date of Seller's receipt of
Purchaser's written notice of a third party offer, to repurchase the Qualifying
Loans so offered, at a price equal to the Repurchase Price.  In connection with
any conveyance of loans to an Advanta Trust, the Buyer, the related

Advanta Trust, and (but shall not be required to) issue specified classes of

expectation that no such separate treatment should be necessary with respect to
Mortgage Loans which are Qualifying Loans.  In case such separate treatment is
required, the Seller shall have the right to repurchase such loans, sell such
loans pursuant to the Whole Loan Agreement or leave the loans in the Advanta
Trust.  Each such separate pool and/or "REMIC" will have its own Pass-Through
Rate and its own Reserve

Seller's other rights set forth herein, Seller shall have the right to sell
such Qualifying Loans to Buyer pursuant to the Whole Loan Agreement.

                 (b)      If, in connection with the establishment of an
Advanta Trust, any Mortgage Loan in a Securitized Loan Pool is ____ or more
days contractually delinquent and such Mortgage Loan is determined by the Buyer
to be ineligible for inclusion in such Advanta Trust, the Buyer shall promptly
inform the Seller, and the Seller shall have the option to repurchase such
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5 prior to the
closing date of such Advanta Trust, to substitute for such Mortgage Loan a
replacement Mortgage Loan of similar or better characteristics and with an
unpaid Principal Balance of equal or lesser amount reasonably acceptable to the
Buyer and which is eligible for inclusion in such Advanta Trust, or to have
such ineligible Mortgage Loan remain in the Accumulation Pool.  The Seller
shall have the further right, but not the obligation to repurchase any Mortgage
Loan in an Accumulation Pool which is ____ or more days contractually
delinquent.

                 In connection with any such repurchase the Seller shall
deliver the Repurchase Price to the Buyer.  In connection with any such
substitution the Seller shall deliver the substitute Mortgage Loan and the
items which constitute the related Mortgage File to the Trustee, and shall

or Underwriter's counsel, the Seller shall cause a nationally recognized
accounting firm to provide the Buyer with a letter in a form acceptable to
Buyer with respect to any Seller Information.  The Seller agrees to comply with
any reasonable regulatory and quality control requirements requested by the
Buyer based upon the Buyer's review of Seller Information and other review of
the Seller's origination activities.

                 The Seller shall indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless from
any losses suffered by the Seller and its affiliates as a result of (i) any
misstatement in, or omission from, any Seller Information or (ii) any breach by
Seller of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 7(a) hereof but

                 (f)      The Seller acknowledges that, to the extent it, at or

                 (c)  In the event that the Seller fails, within the time
periods specified in this Agreement, to cure any material Defect in a Mortgage
File, the Buyer, in addition to any rights it may have under paragraph (b)
above, shall have the right thereafter to receive any Residual Cashflow

                 Section 8.  Representations and Warranties of the Seller
Regarding the Mortgage Loans.  (a)  Set forth in Exhibit E hereto is a listing
of representations and warranties which will be deemed to have been made by the
Seller to the Buyer, the Master Servicer and the Trustee in connection with
each purchase of a Pool with respect to the Mortgage Loans in such Pool.  In
addition, the Buyer may, pursuant to a Conveyance Agreement with respect to the
Mortgage Loans in the related Pool, delete or modify any of such
representations and warranties, or may add additional representations and
warranties ("Additional Representations and Warranties") if (i) Seller's
Applicable Guidelines were to materially change or (ii) if any other party to
an Advanta securitization were to require the addition or deletion of
Additional Representations and Warranties; provided, that if the Seller
determines that a significant number of its mortgage loans would not satisfy
such Additional Representations and Warranties, the Seller shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to terminate its obligation to offer any
additional loans hereunder without further obligation to the Buyer except that
all of the Seller's duties and obligations hereunder with respect to Mortgage
Loans that were previously sold hereunder shall remain in full force and
nothing in this provision shall be construed as terminating any of the Buyer's
rights with respect to all previously sold Mortgage Loans.  The representations
and warranties listed in Exhibit E hereto, together with any Additional
Representations and Warranties, are the "Representations and Warranties".

It is understood and agreed that the Representations and Warranties shall
survive the sale and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Conduit
Acquisition Trust and by the Conduit Acquisition Trust to an Advanta Trust.
Upon discovery by the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Buyer of a breach of
any of the Representations and Warranties (without regard to any limitation set
forth in such Representation or Warranty concerning the knowledge of the Seller
as to the facts stated therein so long as the Seller is required to repurchase
the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans pursuant to the related Advanta
Pooling Agreement without regard to any similar limitation), which breach, in
the reasonable opinion of the Buyer, materially and adversely affects the
value, collectibility or marketability of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgage
Loans, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to
the other party and the Seller shall be required to take the remedial actions
required by Section 8(b) hereof within the time periods required pursuant
thereto.

                 (b)      Within ____ days of the earlier of its discovery or
its receipt of notice of breach, the Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to
cure such breach to the reasonable





                                       20
<PAGE>   21
satisfaction of the Buyer.  Unless, prior to the expiration of such ____ day
period, such breach has been cured or otherwise does not exist or continue to
exist, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan (including any property
acquired in respect thereof and any insurance policy or insurance proceeds with
respect thereto) in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as set
forth in Section 6 hereof.  Upon making any such repurchase, the Seller shall
be entitled to receive an instrument of assignment or transfer from the
Trustee, without recourse to the Buyer or the Trustee, to the same extent as
set forth in Section 6 hereof with respect to the repurchase of Defective
Mortgage Loans under that Section.

                 (c)      In the event that the Seller fails, within the time
periods specified in this Agreement, to cure any material breach of a
Representation and Warranty, the Buyer shall have the right thereafter to
receive any Residual Cashflow otherwise payable to the Seller, but not in
excess of any actual loss suffered by the Buyer.  The Buyer shall make a good
faith effort to collect any amounts due by the Obligor in order to mitigate any
actual loss that may be suffered by the Buyer; provided, that, if the Buyer
adheres to its servicing guidelines, this shall be considered conclusive
evidence of good faith.

                 (d)      The remedies described in paragraphs (c) and (d)
above, together with all other remedies the Buyer may have at law or in equity,
shall survive any resignation or termination of Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA as
Master Servicer.

                 (e)      Additional Representatives and Warranties to be added
to this Agreement shall only be added upon the mutual agreement of the Buyer
and the Seller or if required by a credit enhancer, any rating agencies, or any
underwriter.

                 Section 9.  Application of Residual Cashflow.  (a)  On each
Distribution Date, all available Excess Interest with respect to the
Accumulation Pool shall be applied as a Reserve Deposit or to the amount
payable by the Seller described in the last paragraph in Section 4(a) hereof.

                 (b)      At the time any Pools are transferred from the
Accumulation Pool to an Advanta Trust (thereby becoming all or part of a
Securitized Loan Pool) the Reserve Amount then relating to such Pool shall be
credited against the initial Reserve Amount for the related Securitized Loan
Pool. If the initial Reserve Amount exceeds the initial Reserve Requirement
applicable to such Securitized Loan Pool (i.e., the amount of any "initial
deposit" at securitization) the amount of such excess shall be paid by the
Buyer to the Seller.  Conversely, if the initial Reserve Requirement for such
Securitized Loan Pool exceeds the actual Reserve Amount for the related Pools
the amount of such shortfall shall be paid by the Seller to the Buyer as an
Additional Initial Reserve Amount for such Securitized Loan Pool.

                 (c)      On the closing date of the related Advanta
Securitization, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the Initial Premium Payment.

                 (d)      On each Distribution Date the Residual Cashflow with
respect to any individual Securitized Loan Pool shall first be applied, to the
extent of the related Initial Premium Amortization Current Amount, as a
reduction in the related Unamortized Initial Premium Amount.  On each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer will, on behalf of the Buyer, distribute
to the Seller the Deferred Premium Payment if any, then due.

                          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to withhold from any distribution of a Deferred Premium
Payment with respect to any individual Securitized Loan Pool, and pay over to
the Buyer, the following amounts:





                                       21
<PAGE>   22
                          (x)     any amounts described in the second paragraph
                                  of Section 4(a) hereof, together with any
                                  Compensating Interest paid out by the
                                  Servicer;
                          (y)     the amount, if any, by which (i) the
                                  aggregate cumulative amount of Realized
                                  Losses with respect to any other Securitized
                                  Loan Pool exceeds (ii) the aggregate,
                                  cumulative amount of Reserve Deposits with
                                  respect to such other Securitized Loan Pool;
                                  and
                          (z)     the amount of any Unamortized Initial Premium
                                  Amount with respect to any other Securitized
                                  Loan Pool which remains outstanding after
                                  ____ months.

                 (e)      The Buyer's obligation to pay the Deferred Premium
Payments to the Seller will be a secured corporate obligation of the Buyer, as
set forth in the Tri-Party Security Agreement, and will not represent any
direct ownership interest in any Mortgage Loans.

                 (f)      The Master Servicer shall furnish the statements
described in Section 10 hereto to the Seller, by facsimile on each Distribution
Date; such statements shall, inter alia, contain information relating to the
Residual Cashflow for such Distribution Date.

Buyer's and the Master Servicer's books and records relating to the Mortgage
Loans and the Residual Cashflows.  All calculations made by the Buyer or the
Master Servicer shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

         periods of less than a full month will be calculated on the basis of
         the actual number of days elapsed and a 365 day year, unless a

         or by the requirements of applicable law.

                   (ii)   From time to time as appropriate in the servicing of

         request of the Master Servicer, shall release or cause the release and
         delivery of the related Mortgage Loan Documents to the Master

         which have been entered into the Master Servicer's servicing system
         but not previously purchased by the Buyer, and the Master Servicer at
         its option may assume the defense of any such claim.  The Seller
         shall, within ten (10) business days of receiving a statement of
         amounts advanced by the Master Servicer in connection with the defense
         of any such claim, reimburse the Master Servicer for all amounts

                          responsibilities not assumed by Master Servicer or

                          FORM OF CONVEYANCE AGREEMENT

                 PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc., as seller (the "Seller")
and Advanta Mortgage Conduit Services, Inc. (the "Buyer") on behalf of Conduit
Acquisition Trust, (the "Purchaser"), pursuant to the Amended and Restated
Corporate Finance Agreement amended as of January 27, 1997 among the Seller,
the Buyer and Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA (the "Corporate Finance Agreement"),
hereby confirm their understanding with respect to the sale by the Seller and
the purchase by the Buyer on behalf of the Conduit Acquisition Trust of those
Mortgage Loans listed on the attached Mortgage Loan Schedule (the "Purchased
Mortgage Loans").

                 Conveyance of Purchased Mortgage Loans.  The Seller,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Conveyance Agreement, does
hereby irrevocably transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Buyer, without recourse (except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein)
all of its right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Mortgage Loans,
including specifically, without limitation, the Mortgages, the Mortgage Files
and all other documents, materials and properties appurtenant thereto and the
Mortgage Notes, including all interest accruing thereon and principal received
on or with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loans on or after the related
Mortgagor's Cut-Off Date and all interest accruing thereon since the related
Mortgagor's most recent paid-to date (or date of origination if no payment is
yet due), together with all of its right title and interest in and to the
proceeds received on or after the related Cut-Off Date of any related insurance
policies on behalf of the Buyer.  If the Seller cannot deliver the original
Mortgage or mortgage assignment with evidence of recording thereon concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Conveyance Agreement solely because of
a delay caused by the public recording office where such original Mortgage or
mortgage assignment has been delivered for recordation, the Seller shall
promptly deliver to the Buyer's designee on behalf of the Buyer such original
Mortgage or mortgage assignment with evidence of recording indicated thereon
upon receipt thereof from the public recording official, with a copy thereof
delivered to the Master Servicer.

                 The costs relating to the delivery of the documents specified
in this Conveyance Agreement shall be borne by the Seller.

                 The Seller hereby additionally certifies to the Buyer and the
Master Servicer:

         (i)     The representations and warranties of the Seller contained in
                 the Corporate Finance Agreement and all related agreements, as

                 complied in all material respects with all the agreements and
                 satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or
                 satisfied at or prior to the date hereof in connection with
                 the sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

         (ii)    There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or
                 threatened against or affecting the Seller which if adversely
                 determined, individually or in the aggregate, would be
                 reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material way the
                 Seller's obligations under any agreement to which the Seller
                 is a party.  No merger, liquidation, dissolution or bankruptcy
                 of the Seller is pending or contemplated.

provisions of this Conveyance Agreement shall control over the conflicting
provisions of the Corporate Finance Agreement.

                         REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES


         (i)     The information with respect to each Mortgage Loan set forth
in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct as of the Cut-Off
Date.

         (ii)    All of the original or certified documentation required to be
delivered to the Buyer, the Master Servicer or the Buyer's designee pursuant to
the documentation requirements, as set forth on the attached Exhibit B, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan has been or will be delivered to the Buyer, the
Master Servicer or the Buyer's designee, as required thereby.  Each Mortgage
Loan is documented on a note and mortgage form, with appropriate riders
approved by the Buyer.

         (iii)   Each Mortgage is a valid and existing first or second lien of
record on the Mortgaged Property, (subject in the case of any Second Mortgage
Loan only to a Senior Lien on such Mortgaged Property) and subject in all cases
to the exceptions to title set forth in the title insurance policy, if any,
with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, which exceptions are generally
acceptable to banking institutions in connection with their regular mortgage
lending activities, and such other exceptions to which similar properties are
commonly subject and which do not materially and adversely affect the benefits
of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage.

         (iv)    Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein
contemplated, PAM held good, marketable, and indefeasible title to, and was the
sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan conveyed by PAM subject to no liens, charges,
mortgages, encumbrances or rights of others except as set forth in clause (iii)
or other liens which will be released simultaneously with such transfer and
assignment and upon receipt of each Mortgage Loan, the Buyer will hold good,
marketable, and indefeasible title to, and will be the sole owner of each
Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any liens, charges, mortgages, encumbrances,
or rights of others except as set forth in paragraph (iii) or any liens created
by the Buyer.

         (v)     As of the related Cut-Off Date, no Mortgage Loan is thirty
(30) or more days contractually delinquent, and no Mortgage Loan has been
thirty (30) or more days contractually delinquent more than once during the
twelve (12) months preceding the related Cut-Off Date, except for those loans
the Buyer reviews during due diligence and agrees to purchase with knowledge of
delinquency; there is no valid and enforceable offset, defense or counterclaim
to any Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the related Mortgagor to
pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Note.  Except for any such
delinquencies, there is no material default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under any Mortgage or the related Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any cure
period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration; PAM has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration.

         (vi)    There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien or mechanic's
lien, or claim for work, labor, or material on any Mortgaged Property; there is
no proceeding pending or threatened or currently occurring for the total or
partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property to the best of PAM's knowledge;
each Mortgaged Property is free of substantial damage and is in good repair,
except for those items specifically mentioned in the appraisal, or any
applicable appraisal review of any mortgaged property.





                                       E-1
<PAGE>   40
         (vii)   Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made, and the
origination of such Mortgage Loan, complied in all material respects with all
applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, including, without
limitation, the federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act, and other consumer protection laws, usury, equal credit
opportunity, disclosure and recording laws.  Any Mortgage Loan, and the
origination thereof, which is subject to the "high cost or high fee mortgage"
provisions of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, complies
with the requirements of such Act.  No fraud was committed, nor was any
material misrepresentation made, by any Person, including without limitation
the related Mortgagor, in connection with the origination of such Mortgage
Loan; each Mortgage Loan is a Qualified Mortgage and is a Qualifying Loan.

         (viii)  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, a lender's title insurance
policy, issued in standard American Land Title Association or California Land
Title Association form by a title insurance company authorized to transact
business in the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is situated in an
amount at least equal to the Original Principal Amount of such Mortgage Loan
insuring the mortgagee's interest under the related Mortgage Loan as the holder
of a valid first or second mortgage lien of record on the real property
described in the related Mortgage, as the case may be, subject only to
exceptions of the character referred to in paragraph (iii) above, was effective
on the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, and, as of the Cut-Off
Date such policy will be valid and thereafter such policy shall continue in
full force and effect for the benefit of the Buyer and its assignees, in care
of the Master Servicer.

         (ix)    Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a single (one- to
four-) family residential dwelling, which may include condominiums and
townhouses but shall not include cooperatives; the improvements upon each
Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy
with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for fire and extended
coverage representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (together, in the case of a
Second Mortgage Loan, with the outstanding principal balance of any Senior
Liens), (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a
replacement cost basis or (C) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged
Property.

         (x)     For all Mortgage Loans, there is in place a fully-paid life of
loan flood certification from Pinnacle Data Corporation or another vendor
approved by the Buyer, assignable to the Master Servicer, which provides for
notification to the Master Servicer of changes in designated flood areas which
would affect such Mortgage Loan; in addition, if any Mortgaged Property, as of
the Cut-Off Date of the related Mortgage Loan, is in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special
flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of
the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect for
the benefit of the Buyer and its assignees, in care of the Master Servicer,
with respect to such Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier in
an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (together, in the case of a
Second Mortgage Loan, with the outstanding principal balance of any Senior
Liens), (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a
replacement cost basis or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that is available
under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.

         (xi)    Each Mortgage and Note is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the maker thereof and is enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles





                                       E-2
<PAGE>   41
of equity (whether considered in a proceeding or action in equity or at law).
The maker of such Mortgage and Note had the legal capacity to execute such
Mortgage and Note at the time such Mortgage and Note were executed.

         (xii)   PAM has caused and will cause to be performed any and all acts
required to be performed to preserve the rights and remedies of the Master
Servicer in any Insurance Policies applicable to any Mortgage Loans delivered
by PAM, including any necessary notifications of insurers, assignments of
policies or interests therein, and establishments of co-insured, joint loss
payee and mortgagee rights in favor of the Buyer and its assignees in care of
the Master Servicer.

         (xiii)  Interest on each Note is calculated in accordance with the
actuarial method; the terms of each Note and each Mortgage have not been
impaired, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument
which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect the interest of the Buyer and
which has been included in the related Mortgage File to be delivered to the
Buyer.  The substance of any such alteration or modification is reflected on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and has been approved by the primary
mortgage guaranty insurer, if any.

         (xiv)   Except as otherwise required by law or pursuant to the statute
under which the related Mortgage Loan was made, the related Note will not be
secured by any collateral, pledged account or other security except the lien of
the corresponding Mortgage.

         (xv)    No Mortgage Loan will be originated under a buydown plan; no
Mortgage Loan provides for negative amortization, has a shared appreciation
feature, or other contingent interest feature; and as of the related Cut-Off
Date, no Mortgage Loan had a Combined Loan-to-Value- Ratio or a Total
Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of the maximum for the related product type as
set forth in Seller's Applicable Guidelines, as amended by the Pool Parameters
attached hereto as Exhibit D, unless Buyer acknowledges any such exception(s)
through its due diligence, and agrees to purchase the Mortgage Loan based on
the exception(s).

         (xvi)   Any advances made after the date of origination of a Mortgage
Loan but prior to the Cut-Off Date, have been consolidated with the outstanding
principal amount secured by the related Mortgage, and the secured principal
amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term
reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.  No Note has been modified,
except as reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and evidence of any
modification is in the related Mortgage File and has been supplied to the
Buyer.  The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan.  No Note permits or obligates
the Master Servicer, any sub-servicer or the Buyer or its assignees to make
future advances to the related Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor.

         (xvii)  Any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or
off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have
been complied with, subject to any escrow hold-back for improvements pending
completion.  All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, closing or
recording the Mortgage Loans were paid.

         (xviii) To the best of PAM's knowledge, all of the improvements which
were included for the purposes of determining the Appraised Value of any
Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction
lines of such Mortgaged Property, and are stated in the title insurance policy
and affirmatively insured; no improvement located on or being part of any
Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or





                                       E-3
<PAGE>   42
regulation.  To the best of PAM's knowledge, all inspections, licenses and
certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied
portions of each Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy
of the same, including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire
underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities.

         (xix)   With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and
no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Buyer or its assignees
under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after
default by the related Mortgagor.

         (xx)    With respect to each Second Mortgage Loan, either (A) no
consent for such Mortgage Loan was required by the holder of the related Senior
Lien prior to the making of such Mortgage Loan or (B) such consent has been
obtained and is contained in the related Loan Servicing File.

         (xxi)   Each Mortgage contains a provision for the acceleration of the
payment of the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan in the
event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the
Mortgagee thereunder; each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the realization against the related Mortgaged Property of the benefits of
the security, including (A) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of
trust, by trustee's sale and (B) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.  Subject to
any statutory redemption rights of the Mortgagor, upon default by a Mortgagor
on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged
Property, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and
marketable title to the Mortgaged Property.  To the best of PAM's knowledge,
there is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or
the right to foreclose on the Mortgaged Property.

         (xxii)  No instrument of release or waiver has been executed in
connection with any Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole
or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement which has been
approved by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and which has been
included in the related Funding Package delivered to the Buyer.

         (xxiii) The maturity date of each Mortgage Loan which is a Second
Mortgage Loan is at least twelve (12) months prior to the maturity date of the
related first mortgage loan if such first mortgage loan provides for a balloon
payment.

         (xxiv)  Each Mortgage Loan has been originated in accordance with all
required provisions of Seller's Applicable Guidelines as amended by the Pool
Parameters attached hereto as Exhibit D; a full appraisal was performed with
respect to each Mortgage Loan in compliance with the applicable requirements
set forth in the Applicable Guidelines.

         (xxv)   As of the related Closing Date, to the best knowledge of PAM,
there does not exist on any Mortgaged Property any hazardous substances,
hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal, state or
local environmental legislation.





                                       E-4
<PAGE>   43
         (xxvi)  Each Mortgage Loan which is a First Mortgage Loan shall be
covered by a valid and transferable tax service contract with Transamerica, or
other vendors as approved by the Buyer.

         (xxvii) No mortgage reconveyance, release, satisfaction or trustee
fees have been collected by PAM or paid by any Mortgagor.  In addition, if
there is, in Buyer's reasonable judgment, a documentation problem that would
make reconveyance of satisfaction difficult, cumbersome or expensive to the
Buyer, then PAM shall at the Buyer's request complete the reconveyance of
satisfaction of the Mortgage, including the recordation of the necessary
documentation, at PAM's sole cost and expense.

         (xxviii)         The Mortgage Loan is not in default, and all Monthly
Payments due prior to the related Cut-Off Date and all taxes, governmental
assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold
payments or ground rents have been paid, to the best knowledge of PAM.  PAM has
not advanced funds, or induced or solicited any advance of funds by a party
other than the Mortgagor directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required by the Mortgage Loan.  The collection practices used by each entity
which has serviced the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects legal, proper,
prudent and customary in the mortgage servicing business.  With respect to
escrow deposits and payments in those instances where such were required, there
exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements
for repayment thereof have not been made and no escrow deposits or payments or
other charges or payments have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the
related Mortgage Note.

                                FORM OF OPINION


__________, 1996

To:      The Addresses identified on "Schedule I" attached hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         I am general counsel to PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("PAM"), and have acted as such in connection with the execution
and delivery of the following agreements:

         1.      The Amended and Restated Corporate Finance Agreement among

as of December 16, 1996.

         4.      The Mutual Confidentiality Agreement by and among PAM, Advanta
Conduit, Advanta Mortgage, dated as of December 16, 1996.


         The foregoing documents are sometimes collectively referred to below
as the "Documents", and any one of them is sometimes referred to below as a
"Document".

         All capitalized terms herein not otherwise defined herein shall have
the respective meanings set forth in the Corporate Finance Agreement.

         In rendering the opinions set forth herein, I have (i) examined
executed copies of the Documents; (ii) examined originals or photostatic or
certified copies of all such corporate records of PAM and such certificates of
public officials, certificates of corporate officers, and other documents,
records financial statements and papers and have made such inquiries of
officers, employees and representatives of PAM as I have deemed appropriate and
necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed, and I have further
assumed the truth, accuracy and completeness of all information provided to me
by such persons; (iii) assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than
those of the officers of PAM affixed to the Documents) and the authenticity of
all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity to original
documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies;
and (iv) assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to the due
authorization, of each of the Documents by each of the respective parties
(other than PAM) to each such Document.

         I am qualified to practice law in the State(s) of __________, and I am
not expert in and express no opinion as to the laws of other jurisdictions
other than the federal law of the United States.  In rendering the above
opinions, I have assumed that the state law(s) applicable to the

Documents and under which the same are to be construed is identical in all
material respects to the law of the State(s) of __________.  Furthermore, the
opinions expressed herein do not purport to opine as to applicable state "Blue
Sky" laws, legal investment laws, or other state or federal laws pertaining to
any securities law issues and securities matters relating to the transactions
described in the Documents.

         Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the other qualifications
stated herein, I am of the opinion that:

         1.      PAM is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

         2.      PAM has all licenses and qualifications necessary to carry on
its lending business as now being conducted and to perform its obligations
hereunder; PAM has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement
and to perform its obligations in accordance therewith; the execution, delivery
and performance of the Agreement (including any Conveyance Agreement and any
other instruments of transfer to be delivered pursuant to the Agreement) by PAM
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not violate the
organization documents of PAM, contravene or violate any law, regulation,
injunction, order, decree or other instrument applicable to PAM or to our
knowledge, contravene, violate or result in any breach of any provision of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of any lien on any
assets of PAM pursuant to the provisions of, any mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement or other undertaking to which PAM is a party or which purports to be
binding upon PAM or any of PAM's assets and which have been identified to us by
PAM as "Material Contracts"; this Agreement evidences the valid and binding
obligation of PAM enforceable against PAM in accordance with its terms, subject
to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other
similar laws relating to or affecting creditor's rights generally or the
application of equitable principles in any proceeding, whether at law or in
equity;

         3.      To our knowledge, there are no actions, approvals, consents,
waivers, exemptions, variances, franchises, orders, permits, authorizations,
rights and licenses required to be taken, given or obtained, as the case may
be, by or from any federal, state or other governmental authority or agency,
that are necessary in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by
PAM of the Agreement;

         4.      To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the best of PAM's knowledge, threatened against
PAM which alleges a widespread practice of violation of any applicable law or
regulation with respect to loan origination activities of PAM or any of its
subsidiaries, or which would draw into question the validity of the Agreement
or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with
the obligations of PAM contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair
the ability of PAM to perform under the terms of the Agreement;

         5.      To our knowledge, PAM is not in default with respect to any
Material Contract or with respect to any order or decree of any court or any
order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental
agency, which default might have consequences that would adversely affect its
performance hereunder;

of December 16, 1996 by and among ADVANTA MORTGAGE CONDUIT SERVICES, INC.
("Advanta Mortgage Conduit"), ADVANTA MORTGAGE CORP. USA ("Advanta Mortgage

MONEY CENTER, INC. (the "Secured Party") and BANKERS TRUST COMPANY OF

                 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and
agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                 Section 1.  Definitions.  In addition to the terms defined
elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings when used in this Agreement:

         "Certificate Account" means the related Certificate Account created
under the related Advanta Pooling Agreement.  Each Securitization Statement
shall more particularly identify the related Certificate Account.

         "Collateral" means the Pledgors' rights to receive payments of
Residual Cashflow in connection with each and every Securitized Loan Pool.

         "Corporate Finance Agreement" means the Amended and Restated Corporate
Finance Agreement amended as of January 27, 1997 by and among the Secured
Party, PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc., and the Pledgors, as amended from
time to time.

         "Securitized Loan Pools" means any group of Mortgage Loans sold by the
Secured Party pursuant to the Master Commitment and the Corporate Finance
Agreement and held by a particular Advanta Trust, whether acquired initially by
such Advanta Trust or subsequently acquired through "pre-funded" purchases.  A
Securitized Loan Pool may represent any number of pools.


Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall for all purposes
of this Agreement have the respective meanings specified therefor in the
Corporate Finance Agreement.

                 Section 2.  Pledge and Security.

                 Each Pledgor hereby pledges all of its respective right,

interest in, the Collateral to the Secured Party to secure the obligation of
the Pledgors to make payments of Residual Cashflow to the Secured Party in
accordance with Section 9(d) of the Corporate Finance Agreement, which
obligation is evidenced by the Synthetic Residual Certificate in the form of
Exhibit I to the Corporate Finance Agreement.  Such financing statement shall
be amended in connection with each Securitization transaction to reflect the
increase in Collateral.

                 The Seller acknowledges that the Synthetic Residual
Certificate is not transferrable except to a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Seller.  Upon such transfer, the Seller will promptly give written notice to
the Buyer.

<PAGE>   51
                 Section 3.  Financing Statement.

                 The Pledgors covenant that, on the date of execution of this
Agreement, the Pledgors shall cause to be filed a financing statement (Form
UCC-1) with the Secretary of State of California to perfect by filing thereof
the security interest in the Collateral granted by the Pledgors herein.  The
Pledgors covenant to file one or more additional financing statements in such
other jurisdictions as PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc shall reasonably
request.

constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:

                 (a)      Failure of the Pledgors to make any payment of
Residual Cashflow, owing to the Secured Party under Section 9(d) of the
Corporate Finance Agreement, to the Secured Party which failure is not remedied
within five Business Days after the due date thereof.  Payments of Residual
Cash Flow which are not paid on the related Distribution Date shall bear
interest at ____ per annum until paid in full.

                 (b)      The filing against either Pledgor of a petition for
liquidation, reorganization, arrangement or adjudication as a bankrupt or
similar relief under the bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of the United
States or any state or territory thereof or of any foreign jurisdiction as to
which such Pledgor fails to secure dismissal within 60 days after such filing.
Appointment of a receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of either Pledgor or of any
substantial part of its property, the ordering of the winding-up or liquidation
of its affairs, or the entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having
jurisdiction in the premises in respect of either Pledgor in any involuntary
case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
hereafter in effect.

                 (c)      Commencement by either Pledgor of a voluntary case
under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
hereafter in effect, or the consent by either Pledgor to the entry of an order
for relief in an involuntary case under any such law or to the appointment of
or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of either Pledgor or of any
substantial part of its property, or the making by either Pledgor of any
general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of either
Pledgor generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of
corporate action by either Pledgor in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

                 Section 5.  Remedy Upon Default.  Upon the happening of one or
more Events of Default, the Secured Party shall give at least 5 Business Days
written notice to the Trustee, stating the date and the nature of the Event of
Default, and identifying the appropriate Advanta Trust relating to the
Securitized Loan Pools.  The Secured Party shall have the right to direct the
Trustee to make all future monthly payments of Residual Cashflow due to it
under Section 9(d) of the Corporate Finance Agreement, including amounts owed
as of the date of notice, directly from the Certificate Account (or any similar
account maintained for the related Securitized Loan Pool), into an account
designated by the Secured Party in such notice, before payments may be made to
the Pledgors under the terms of the Corporate Finance Agreement.  The Trustee
shall calculate all amounts owed to the Secured Party to be paid pursuant to
this Section 5.  The parties acknowledge that the Secured Party shall have no
rights against the Collateral, other than the rights of the Secured Party to
receive payments as provided for herein and in the Agreement.  Notwithstanding
the security interest granted hereby, the Synthetic Residual Certificate
represents a general corporate liability of the Pledgors.

                 Section 6.  Trustee's Duties.  (a) The Trustee (i) undertakes
to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Trustee and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part,
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions finished pursuant
to and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

                          Additionally, the Trustee is permitted to rely and
shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any certificates,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, request, direction, consent, order,
bond, note, notices or other paper or document delivered hereunder believed by
