                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
1.      ORGANIZATION

        Imperial Credit Industries, Inc., incorporated in 1986 in the State of
California, is 23.0% owned by Imperial Bank. In 1991 Imperial Bank recapitalized
the Company to conduct a full service mortgage banking operation. The
consolidated financial statements include Imperial Credit Industries, Inc.
("ICII"), its significant wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, significant
majority-owned operating subsidiaries and significant equity investments in two
publicly traded companies (collectively the "Company"). The significant wholly-
owned subsidiaries include Southern Pacific Bank ("SPB"), Imperial Business
Credit Inc. ("IBC"), Imperial Credit Advisors, Inc. ("ICAI"), Auto Marketing
Network ("AMN"), Imperial Credit Commercial Asset Management Corporation,
("ICCAMC") and Imperial Credit Worldwide ("ICW"). The significant operating
majority owned consolidated subsidiary is Imperial Capital Group, LLC ("ICG")
which is 60% owned by the Company and 40% owned by ICG's management. The
significant equity investments in publicly traded companies are Southern Pacific
Funding Corporation ("SPFC") NYSE Symbol: SFC, and Franchise Mortgage Acceptance
Company ("FMC") NASDAQ Symbol: FMAX. Both SPFC and FMC were former consolidated
subsidiaries of the Company. All material intercompany balances and transactions
with consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.


2.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1998.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1997.

        In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and
expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly
from those estimates. Prior year's consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation.


3.      NET INCOME PER SHARE INFORMATION

        Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share." This statement replaces the previously reported primary
and fully-diluted income per share with basic and diluted income per share.
Unlike primary income per share, basic income per share excludes any dilutive
effects of stock options. Diluted income per share is similar to fully-diluted
income per share. The following table reconciles the number of shares used in
the computations of basic and diluted income per share for the first quarter
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997:

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

GENERAL

        Imperial Credit Industries, Inc. (the "Company" or "ICII"), with
consolidated assets of $2.2 billion as of March 31, 1998, is a diversified
commercial and consumer lending, financial services and investment holding
company, organized in 1986 with its headquarters located in Torrance,
California. Its principal business activities consist of the operation of six
significant wholly owned operating subsidiaries: Southern Pacific Bank ("SPB"),
Imperial Business Credit Inc. ("IBC"), Imperial Credit Advisors, Inc. ("ICAI"),
Auto Marketing Network Inc. ("AMN"), Imperial Credit Commercial Asset Management
Corporation ("ICCAMC") and Imperial Credit Worldwide, Ltd. ("ICW"), one
significant majority owned consolidated operating subsidiary, Imperial Capital
Group, LLC ("ICG") and significant equity investments in two publicly traded
companies, Southern Pacific Funding Corporation ("SPFC") NYSE Symbol: SFC and
Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Company ("FMC") NASDAQ Symbol: FMAX.

STRATEGIC FOCUS AND ACQUISITIONS

        Historically, the Company's primary business was the origination and
sale of conforming residential mortgage loans. This business experienced
substantial growth due to high levels of mortgage loan refinancing activity in
1992 and 1993, as interest rates dropped to historically low levels. However, as
interest rates increased and refinancing activity declined in 1994, conforming
residential mortgage loan originations on an industry-wide basis decreased
dramatically and pricing became increasingly competitive. The Company recognized
that the sub-prime residential mortgage loan market provided greater
opportunities for mortgage loan origination growth. As a result, during 1995 and
1996, the Company directed additional capital and resources to its sub-prime
residential mortgage lending subsidiary, SPFC, and divested substantially all of
its conforming mortgage lending and servicing businesses. At the same time, the
Company entered or expanded its presence in higher margin commercial and
consumer lending markets.


                                      13

        The Company now operates as a commercial and consumer finance company
providing loan and lease products in the following sectors: business finance
lending, commercial mortgage lending, and consumer lending. The Company also is
a provider of other financial services and investment products.

        The Company's core business has remained consistent in that it
originates loans and leases funded primarily by warehouse lines of credit,
repurchase facilities, securitizations and whole loan sales in the secondary
market. The Company's business strategy emphasizes:

        .       Investing in and managing businesses in niche segments of the
                financial services industry. The Company intends to retain a
                significant equity investment in the companies to provide a
                source of future earnings and cash flow for the Company.

        .       Conservative, disciplined underwriting and credit risk
                management.

        .       Loan and lease originations, where possible, on a wholesale
                basis.

        .       Securitization or sale in the secondary market of substantially
                all of the Company's loans and leases, other than those held by
                SPB for investment.

        .       Maintaining business and financial flexibility to take advantage
                of changing market conditions with respect to specific financial
                services businesses.

        The Company diversified its loan and lease products by focusing on the
creation and acquisition of additional finance businesses in order to reduce its
dependency on residential mortgage lending. When acquiring new businesses or
targeting expansion opportunities, the Company seeks to retain existing
management and recruit additional experienced management to increase growth and
profitability and to reduce the risks associated with operating the newly
acquired entity.

concepts. More recently, FMC has expanded its focus to include retail energy

FUNDING

Lines of Credit

        Until 1995, apart from equity and debt offerings in the capital markets,
the Company's primary sources of financing were warehouse lines of credit at
ICII and deposits with SPB. Typically, ICII would borrow funds under its
warehouse lines in connection with its wholesale loan originations and
purchases, while SPB used its deposits and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB") to finance its lending activities.  In connection
with its diversification strategy, the Company believes that lower cost
financing is available through credit lines, repurchase facilities, whole loan
sales and securitization programs established by IBC, SPB and AMN.

        The Company continues to rely on FDIC insured deposits generated by SPB
and third party warehouse lines of credit and securitizations.  At March 31,
1998, SPB had total deposits of approximately $1.3 billion (excluding deposits
of ICII maintained with SPB).


        ICII and its subsidiaries had various revolving warehouse lines of
credit available at March 31, 1998, as follows:

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
                                        
        Income before extraordinary item for the three months ended March 31,
1998 increased to $12.9 million or $0.32 diluted income per share compared to
$11.0 million or $0.27 diluted income per share for the same period last year.
Net income for the first quarter of 1998 was $12.9 million or $0.32 diluted net
income per share as compared to $7.0 million or $0.17 diluted net income per
share for the same period last year. Net income for the first quarter of 1997
includes an extraordinary item of $4.0 million or $0.10 per diluted share
representing a loss on the Company's early retirement of debt.


RETURN ON EQUITY

        Return on equity ("ROE") based on the Company's core net income (defined
as net income excluding gain on sale of SPFC stock, gain on sale of servicing
rights, the restructuring provision for the Company's exit from the mortgage
banking business, and the extraordinary item, net of income taxes, relating to
the early retirement of debt), and excluding income taxes on the equity in net 
income of SFC and FMC was 19.76% for the first quarter ended March 31, 1998, as
compared to ROE of 21.05% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The Company's
strong capital position provides it with excellent opportunities to reduce risk
and improve corporate performance and profitability in the future through
opportunistic acquisitions and future capital redeployment opportunities.

DECONSOLIDATION OF FMC

        During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company reduced its ownership
percentage from 66.7% to 38.4% through an initial public offering of FMC common
stock.  The income from FMC is accounted for by the equity method of accounting
beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 1997. For the three months ended
March 31, 1998, the equity in net income of FMC was $2.8 million.

        As a result of the deconsolidation of FMC, gain on sale of loans, net
interest income, other income and, general and administrative expenses are not
comparable to the prior year. Therefore, the following income statements present
gain on sale of loans, net-interest income, other income and general and
administrative expenses for the Company as if FMC had been accounted for as an
equity investment for all periods presented.

REVENUES

General

        The Company's consolidated net income for the three months ended March
31, 1998 was $12.9 million or $0.32 diluted income per share as compared to $7.0
million or $0.17 diluted income per share for the three months ended March 31,
1997. Basic consolidated income per share for the three months ended March 31,
1998 was $0.33 per share as compared to $0.18 per share for the same period last
year. Consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
includes an extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.0 million,
or $0.10 per common share, net of income tax. The increase in net income is
primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income, loan servicing
income, investment banking fees and equity in the earnings of FMC. These
positive factors were partially offset by an increase in total expenses and the
provision for loan and lease losses. Total revenues for the Company during the
first quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $48.4 million, an increase of $8.1
million or 20.2% from the $40.3 million reported for the same period in 1997.

Gain on Sale/Loan & Lease  Securitization and Sales

        Gain on sale of loans and leases decreased $3.1 million to $5.6 million
during the first quarter of 1998 from $8.7 million for the same period last
year.  Gain on sale of loans and leases consists primarily of gains recorded
upon the sale of loans and leases, net of associated expenses, and to a lesser
extent, fees received on the origination of loans, and fees received for
commitments to fund loans. During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company
sold $96.6 million of commercial and multifamily loans to ICCMIC, and
securitized $35.5 million of leases originated by IBC, generating gains of $3.8
million and $1.6 million, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
the Company securitized $97.9 million of leases acquired by IBC, generating a
gain of $5.4 million.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company also
sold a retained equity interest from a franchise loan securitization completed
in 1996, which allowed the Company to record a gain of $3.2 million.


Total Interest Income

        For the three months ended March 31, 1998, total interest income
increased to $53.6 million from $49.2 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997. The increase in total interest income is primarily attributable to an
increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The increase in the
average yield on interest-earning assets in 1998 is primarily attributable to
increases in the average yields on loans held for investment and sale reflecting
a more diversified and higher-yielding mix of loan products relative to 1997.
The decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets compared to 1997
is primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of loans held for sale
offset by an increase in the average balance of loans held for investment. The
comparison of total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997 is also impacted by the deconsolidation of FMC. Excluding FMC's
interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997, total interest income
would have been $45.9 million compared to actual of $49.2 million.


   Total Interest Expense

        For the three months ended March 31, 1998, total interest expense
decreased to $27.6 million from $28.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997. The decrease in total interest expense is primarily attributable to a
decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities offset by an
increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in
the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities relative to 1997 resulted
primarily from a decrease in the average balance of borrowings due to the
deconsolidation of FMC. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in
cost of interest bearing liabilities. The increase in the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities is primarily attributable to the relatively higher
borrowing costs associated with the Company's Remarketed Par Securities issued
during 1997. The comparison of total interest expense for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 is also impacted by the deconsolidation of FMC.
Excluding FMC's interest expense for the first three months of 1997, total
interest expense for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997 would have been
$25.7 million compared to actual of $28.4 million.

   Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

        The provision for loan and lease losses increased to $3.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $2.9 million for the same
period last year.  The increase in the loan and lease  loss provision for the
first quarter of 1998 was primarily the result of the continuing change in the
composition of the Company's  investment loan portfolio to higher yielding loan
products. Nonaccrual loans and leases as of March 31, 1998 decreased to $67.9
million  from $70.6 million at December 31, 1997 or 4.6% and 5.4% of gross loans
held for investment, respectively.

Loan Servicing Income

        Loan servicing income for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
increased to $4.0 million as compared to $1.3 million for the same period last
year. Loan servicing income increased primarily due to a decrease in the level
of foreclosure and liquidation costs associated with the Company's former
residential mortgage loan servicing portfolio and due to an increase in the
average outstanding balance of loans and leases serviced for others at SPB, IBC 
and AMN.

Equity in Net Income of SPFC

        Equity in the net income of SPFC for the three months ended March 31,
1998 was $6.0 million as compared to $6.3 million for the same period last year,
and represents the Company's share of SPFC's net income based on the Company's
ownership percentage. At March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Company's
ownership percentage in SPFC was 47.0%, and accordingly, the Company accounted
for its investment in SPFC using the equity method.

Equity in Net Income of FMC

        Equity in the net income of FMC for the three months ended March 31,
1998 was $2.8 million as compared to $0 for the same period last year, and
represents the Company's share of FMC's net income based on the Company's
ownership percentage. The increase in the equity in net income of FMC is due to
the difference in accounting methods used for the Company's investment in FMC at
March 31, 1998 and 1997. At March 31, 1998, the Company's ownership percentage
in FMC was 38.4%, and accordingly, the Company accounted for its investment in
FMC using the equity method. At March 31, 1997, the Company's ownership
percentage in FMC was 66.7%, and accordingly, FMC's operating results were
consolidated with those of the Company.

Investment Banking Fees

        Investment banking fees were $4.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, compared to $0 for the same period last year. During the fourth
quarter of 1997, the Company capitalized a new subsidiary, ICG, which includes a
registered broker/dealer and an asset management company offering individual and
corporate investors a wide range of financial products and services. During the
first quarter of 1998, ICG raised money for corporate clients through private
placement debt and equity offerings generating investment banking fees of $4.5
million.

Gain on Sale of SPFC Stock

        During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company did not sell
any shares of its common stock ownership in SPFC. During the first quarter of
1997, the Company sold 370,000 shares of SPFC common stock at $16.63 per share
generating net proceeds of $6.2 million and a gain of $4.3 million.
 

EXPENSES

        Total expenses for the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 1998
were $27.6 million, an increase of $6.5 million from the $21.1 million reported
for the same period in 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to
personnel expense.  Excluding total expenses for FMC from the first quarter of
1997, total expenses increased by $10.5 million for the quarter ending March 31,
1998, when compared to the same period last year. This increase also primarily
resulted from personnel expense.

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
Personnel Expense

        Personnel expense increased to $16.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to $10.7 million for the same period of the previous
year. This increase was primarily the result of growth and increased activities
at the Company's new business lines, including AMN, ICG, and ICCAMC .

Amortization of PMSR's and OMSR's
 
        Amortization of PMSR's and OMSR's increased to $341,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $19,000 for the same period last
year. The increase was primarily the result of an increased balance of servicing
rights retained from recent loan sales and securitizations at SPB.

Occupancy Expense

        Occupancy expense increased to $1.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to $907,000 for the same period of the previous year.
The increase is primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition and
expansion activities throughout 1997 and during the first quarter of 1998.

Net Income/Expenses of Other Real Estate Owned

        During the first quarter of 1998, the Company generated income from OREO
operations of $358,000 as compared to expenses of $757,000 for the same period
last year.  The decrease in expenses primarily resulted from a lower level of
losses and write downs related to the Company's former mortgage banking
operations.

Other Expenses

        All other expenses (including data processing expense, professional
services, telephone and other communications, amortization of goodwill and
general and administrative expense) for the three months ended March 31, 1998
totaled $9.8 million compared to $8.8 million for the same period last year.
This increase reflects the Company's acquisition and expansion activities. The
comparison of other expenses for the first quarter 1998 and 1997 is also
impacted by the deconsolidation of FMC. Excluding FMC's other expenses for the
first quarter of 1997, total other expenses for the three months ended March 31,
1997 would have been $7.4 million compared to actual of $8.8 million.

Minority Interest in Income of Consolidated Subsidiaries

        The Company's minority interest in income of consolidated subsidiaries
was $92,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to $153,000 for
the same period last year. The first quarter 1998 minority interest in income of
consolidated subsidiaries is the result of the Company's 60% ownership in ICG.
The comparison of the Company's minority interest in income of consolidated
subsidiaries for the first quarter 1998 and 1997 is also impacted by the
deconsolidation of FMC. Excluding the Company's minority interest in income of
FMC for the three months ended March 31, 1997, total minority interest in income
of consolidated subsidiaries would have been $0 compared to actual of $153,000.

Extraordinary Item--Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

        During the first quarter of 1997, the Company successfully completed a
$200.0 million offering of 9.875% Senior Notes due 2007. A portion of the
proceeds from the offering were used to repurchase $69.8 million of 9.75% Senior
Notes due 2004 for which the Company recorded an extraordinary after-tax charge
of $4.0 million.

                                       22

        The Company engaged in the new issuance in order to obtain a more
favorable debt covenant package and to raise new capital to support its growing
businesses.


ASSET QUALITY

Loan Loss Provision and Nonaccrual Loans and Leases

        As a result of the growth in the loan portfolio and the change in its
product mix, the Company continued to add to the allowance for loan and lease
losses. The provision for loan and lease losses increased $1.0 million  to $3.9
million for the first quarter of 1998 from $2.9 million for the same period last
year. The increase in the loan and lease  loss provision for the first quarter
of 1998 was primarily the result of the continuing change in the composition of
the Company's investment loan portfolio to higher yielding loan products.
Nonaccrual loans and leases as of March 31, 1998 decreased to $67.9 million from
$70.6 million at December 31, 1997 or 4.6% and 5.4% of gross loans held for
investment, respectively.

        The balance of nonaccrual loans relating to the former mortgage banking
operations included $10.5 million and $6.9 million of loans for March 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997, respectively. The Company periodically reviews the
allowance for loan and lease losses in connection with the overall loan and
lease portfolio. Based on the Company's charge-off experience and relatively
stable balance of nonaccrual loans, management believes the current balance of
the allowance for loan and lease losses is sufficient in relation to the amount
of risk in the loan and lease portfolio.

</TABLE>

        The Company's loans held for investment are primarily comprised of first
and second lien mortgages secured by residential and income producing real
property in California, leases secured by equipment, asset based loans to middle
market companies mainly in California, participations in commercial loan
syndications and loans to experienced franchisees of nationally recognized
restaurant concepts. As a result, the loan portfolio has a high concentration in
the same geographic region. Although the Company has a diversified portfolio, a
substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is
dependent upon the economy of California.

              There are no loans over 90 days past due accruing interest at
March 31, 1998 or December 31, 1997, respectively.

        On an ongoing basis, management monitors the loan portfolio and
evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses. In
determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses, management
considers such factors as historical loan loss experience, underlying collateral
values, evaluations made by bank regulatory authorities, assessment of economic
conditions and other appropriate data to identify the risks in the loan
portfolio.

        Loans deemed by management to be uncollectible are charged to the
allowance for loan and lease losses. Recoveries on loans previously charged off
are credited to the allowance. Provisions for loan and lease losses are charged
to expense and credited to the allowance in amounts deemed appropriate by
management based upon its evaluation of the known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio. Future additions to the allowance for loan and lease losses may be
necessary.

INFLATION
 
        The Consolidated 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 changes in the relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is
reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike industrial
companies, nearly all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary
in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's
performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Inflation
affects the Company primarily through its effect on interest rates, since
interest rates normally increase during periods of high inflation and decrease
during periods of low inflation. During periods of increasing interest rates,
demand for loans and a borrower's ability to qualify for mortgage financing in a
purchase transaction may be adversely affected. During periods of decreasing
interest rates borrowers are more likely to refinance their existing loans which
may negatively impact the Company's investments in securitization related assets
and interest-only securities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company's principal liquidity requirements result from the need for
the Company to fund mortgage loans originated or acquired for purposes of sale
or investment. In addition, the Company, as a loan servicer, requires funding to
make advances of delinquent principal and interest payments and escrow balances,
and as basic working capital.

        SPB obtains the necessary liquidity to fund its own lending activities
through deposits and, if necessary through borrowings from the FHLB. At March
31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, SPB had available lines of credit from the FHLB
equal to $34.9 million and $45.8 million, respectively. The FHLB advances are
secured by the investment in stock of FHLB and certain real estate loans with a
carrying value of $348.8 million and $228.5 million at March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively. The highest FHLB advance outstanding during the
quarter ending March 31, 1998 was $45.0 million, with an average outstanding
balance of $38.7 million. The outstanding balance of FHLB advances was $34.5
million at March 31, 1998. Since December 31, 1991, SPB has increased its
deposits as necessary so that deposits, together with cash, liquid assets and
FHLB borrowings have been sufficient to provide the funding for its loans held
for sale and investment.  SPB's deposit portfolio which consists mostly of
certificate accounts increased to $1.3 billion as of March 31, 1998 as compared
to $1.2 billion at December 31, 1997.

        SPB has been able to acquire new deposits through its local marketing
strategies as well as domestic money markets. Additionally, SPB maintains
liquidity in the form of cash and interest bearing deposits with financial
institutions. SPB tracks on a daily basis all new loan applications by office
and, based on historical closing statistics, estimates expected fundings. Cash
management systems at SPB allow SPB to anticipate both funding and sales and
adjust deposit levels and short-term investments against the demands of the
Company's lending activities.

        The Company has an ongoing need for capital to finance its lending
activities. This need is expected to increase as the volume of the Company's
loan and lease originations and acquisitions increases. The Company's primary
cash requirements include the funding of (i) loan and lease originations and
acquisitions pending their pooling and sale, (ii) points and expenses paid in
connection with the acquisition of wholesale loans, (iii) fees and expenses
incurred in connection with its securitization programs, (iv)
overcollateralization or reserve account requirements in connection with loans
and leases pooled and sold, (v) ongoing administrative and other operating
expenses, (vi) interest and principal payments under ICII's $220 million
principal amount of Senior Notes due 2004 and 2007 (the "Notes") and $70.0
million of Remarketed Par Securities and (vii) the costs of the Company's
warehouse credit and repurchase facilities with certain financial institutions.
The Company has financed its activities through repurchase facilities, warehouse
lines of credit from financial institutions, including SPB, public offerings of
capital stock of ICII, SPFC and FMC, the issuance of the Notes, the issuance of
convertible securities, and securitizations. The Company believes that such
sources will be sufficient to fund the Company's liquidity requirements for the
foreseeable future. Any future financing may involve the issuance of additional
Common Stock or other securities, including securities convertible into or
exercisable for Common Stock.

        The Company currently pools and sells through securitization a
substantial portion of the loans or leases which it originates or purchases,
other than loans held by SPB for investment. Accordingly, adverse changes in the
securitization market could impair the Company's ability to originate, purchase
and sell loans or leases on a favorable or timely basis.  Any such impairment
could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business and results of
operations. In addition, the securitization market for many types of assets is
relatively undeveloped and may be more susceptible to market fluctuations or
other adverse changes than more developed capital markets. Finally, any delay in
the sale of a loan or lease pool could cause the Company's earnings to fluctuate
from quarter to quarter.

        In a securitization, the Company recognizes a gain on sale of the loans
or leases securitized upon the closing of the securitization, but does not
receive all of the cash representing such gain until it receives the excess
servicing fees, which are payable over the actual life of the loans or leases
securitized. As a result, such transactions may not generate cash flows to the
Company for an extended period.

        In addition, in order to gain access to the secondary market for loans
and leases, the Company has relied on monoline insurance companies to provide
guarantees on outstanding senior interests in the trusts to which such loans and
leases are sold to enable it to obtain an "AAA/Aaa" rating for such interests.

                                       27
<PAGE>
 
        Any unwillingness of the monoline insurance companies to guarantee the
senior interests in the Company's loan or lease pools could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

        The Company is dependent upon its ability to access warehouse credit and
repurchase facilities, in addition to its ability to continue to pool and sell
loans and leases in the secondary market, in order to fund new originations and
purchases. The Company has warehouse lines of credit and repurchase facilities
under which it had available an aggregate of approximately $191.8 million in
financing at March 31, 1998. The Company expects to be able to maintain existing
warehouse lines of credit and repurchase facilities (or to obtain replacement or
additional financing) as current arrangements expire or become fully utilized;
however, there can be no assurance that such financing will be obtainable on
favorable terms.  To the extent that the Company is unable to arrange new
warehouse lines of credit and repurchase facilities, the Company may have to
curtail its loan origination and purchasing activities, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial position.

        The Company believes that SPB, together with liquidity available at ICII
and its subsidiaries, will adequately fund the Company's lending activities.
Under applicable regulations, dividends and loans from SPB to ICII and its other
subsidiaries are subject to various limitations. The combination of cash from
operations, loans sales and securitizations, the net proceeds received by the
Company from its Senior Note offerings and its Remarketed Par Securities have
allowed the Company to meet its required liquidity needs. These available
sources, in addition to the proceeds received from the Company's secondary stock
offering in April, 1996 and the completion of the Company's offering of SPFC
stock in June, 1996 and FMC stock in November, 1997 have allowed the Company to
meet its capital resource needs for at least the next 12 months.
