                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.      ORGANIZATION
 
  Imperial Credit Industries, Inc. (the "Company" or "ICII"), incorporated in
1986 in the State of California, is 24.5% owned by Imperial Bank.  In 1991
Imperial Bank recapitalized the Company to conduct a full service mortgage
banking operation.  Since then, the Company has transformed itself from a full
service mortgage banking operation to a diversified commercial and consumer
finance holding company.

  The consolidated financial statements include ICII, its wholly owned
subsidiaries and a majority owned consolidated subsidiary (collectively the
"Company").  The wholly-owned subsidiaries include  Southern Pacific Thrift and
Loan Association ("SPTL"), Imperial Business Credit, Inc. ("IBC"), Imperial
Credit Advisors, Inc. ("ICAI") and Auto Marketing Network, Inc. ("AMN").  The
majority-owned consolidated subsidiary is  Franchise Mortgage Acceptance
Company, LLC ("FMAC").  FMAC is owned two-thirds by the Company and one-third by
the President of FMAC. The Company also has a 49.4% ownership percentage in
Southern Pacific Funding Corporation ("SPFC") (NYSE: SFC). The Company accounts
for this investment using the equity method of accounting.  All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


2.  DECONSOLIDATION OF SOUTHERN PACIFIC FUNDING CORPORATION AND ICI FUNDING
    CORPORATION

  During the first quarter of 1997, the Company sold 370,000 shares of the
common stock of Southern Pacific Funding Corporation ("SPFC") reducing its
ownership of SPFC from 51.2% at December 31, 1996 to 49.4% at March 31, 1997.
Therefore, the results of SPFC operations are now accounted for in the Company's
financial statements under the equity method of accounting. The equity
investment in SPFC is carried at cost adjusted for equity in undistributed
earnings.

  During the first quarter of 1997, ICII disposed of its common stock interest
in ICI Funding Corporation (ICIFC), a subsidiary engaged in mortgage conduit
operations for Imperial Credit Mortgage Holdings ("ICMH"). At December 31, 1996,
ICII owned 100% of the common stock of ICIFC which represented a 1% economic
interest since ICMH (NYSE: IMH) a former subsidiary and now a separate
publicly held mortgage real estate investment trust, owned all of the nonvoting
preferred stock of ICIFC, which gave ICMH a 99% economic interest in ICIFC. The
Company's disposal of its remaining economic interest in ICIFC concludes its
exit from the mortgage banking business.


3.  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, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1997.  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, 1996.

                                       6

    In preparing the 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 1997 presentation.


4.  NET INCOME PER SHARE INFORMATION
 
    Net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the periods presented plus common stock equivalents
deemed to be dilutive.  Common stock equivalents deemed to be dilutive were
calculated based on the average price per share during the periods presented for
primary net income per share and based on the ending stock price per share, if
greater than the average stock price per share, for fully diluted net income per
share for the periods presented.  The number of shares used in the computations
give retroactive effect to stock dividends and stock splits for all periods
presented, including the Company's most recent 2-for-1 stock split on October
23, 1996.

    The weighted average number of shares including common stock equivalents for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was 40,884,908 and 35,360,806 for
fully diluted income per share, respectively.  The weighted average number of
shares including common stock equivalents for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996 was 40,884,820 and 35,271,044 for primary income per share,
respectively.


5.  ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

    The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125 "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities"
("SFAS 125"), which establishes accounting for transfers and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities. This statement specifies
when financial assets and liabilities are to be removed from an entity's
financial statements, the accounting for servicing assets and liabilities and
the accounting for assets that can be contractually prepaid in such a way that
the holder would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment.

    Under SFAS 125, an entity recognizes only assets it controls and
liabilities it has incurred, discontinues recognition of assets only when
control has been surrendered, and discontinues recognition of liabilities only
when they have been extinguished. SFAS 125 requires that the selling entity
continue to carry retained interests, including servicing assets, relating to
assets it no longer recognizes. Such retained interests are based on the
relative fair values of the retained interests of the subject assets at the date
of transfer. Transfers not meeting the criteria for sale recognition are
accounted for as a secured borrowing with a pledge of collateral.

    SFAS 125 requires an entity to recognize its obligation to service
financial assets that are retained in a transfer of assets in the form of a
servicing asset or liability. The servicing asset or liability is to be
amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, net servicing income or
loss. Servicing assets and liabilities are to be assessed for impairment based
on their fair value.

    SFAS 125 modifies the accounting for interest-only strips or retained
interests in securitizations, such as capitalized servicing fees receivable,
that can be contractually prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the
holder would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment. In this
case, it requires that they be classified as available for sale or as trading
securities. Interest-only strips and retained interests are to be recorded at
market value.

     Under the provisions of SFAS 125, management has determined that mortgage
backed securities retained by the Company as a result of securitization
transactions will be classified as trading securities. All other retained
securities will be classified as available for sale or trading as determined at
the time of securitization.

     Changes in market value are included in operations, if classified as
trading securities, or in shareholders' equity as unrealized gains or losses,
net of the related tax effect, if classified as available for sale. SFAS 125 was
effective for the Company on January 1, 1997. The implementation of SFAS 125
did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results
of operations.

7.  CONSOLIDATING BALANCE SHEET AND INCOME STATEMENTS

The following represents summarized consolidating financial information as of 
March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and for the three months ended March 31, 
1997 and 1996, with respect to the financial position and operations of the 
Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. On January 17, 
1997, the Company sold $200 million of 9 7/8% senior notes due 2007. The senior 
notes are guaranteed by three of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, IBC, 
ICAI, and AMN (the "Other Guarantor Subsidiaries"), and the Company's 66 2/3% 
owned subsidiary, FMAC. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and 
joint and several. The separate financial statements and other related 
disclosures of the wholly-owned subsidiary guarantors are not presented as 
management has determined that such information is not material to investors. 
FMAC has filed a Form 10-Q with the SEC as of and for the quarter ended March 
31, 1997. None of the subsidiary guarantors are restricted from making 
distributions to the Company.

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 $2.1 billion, is a diversified commercial and consumer finance holding
company, organized in 1986 with its headquarters located in Torrance,
California. Its principal business activities consist of the operation of four
wholly owned subsidiaries; Southern Pacific Thrift and Loan ("SPTL"), a thrift
and loan company specializing in business and consumer lending, Imperial
Business Credit Inc. ("IBC"), a commercial leasing company specializing in
lending to small businesses, Imperial Credit Advisors, Inc. ("ICAI"), a
management advisory services company overseeing the investment activities of a
real estate investment trust and Auto Marketing Network, Inc. ("AMN"), a sub-
prime auto lender engaged in financing the purchase of new and used motor
vehicles. The Company is a majority owner of a subsidiary, Franchise Mortgage
Acceptance Co. LLC. ("FMAC"), a franchise lending company specializing in
lending to business franchises. In addition, the Company owns a 49.4% ownership
percentage in Southern Pacific Funding Corporation ("SPFC"), a company providing
sub-prime residential mortgage lending (NYSE symbol: SFC).


ACQUISITION

   On March 14, 1997, ICII acquired for $750,000 all of the outstanding shares
of Auto Marketing Network, Inc. ("AMN") of Boca Raton, Florida, a sub prime auto
lender. AMN is a nationally recognized specialty finance company engaged in
financing the purchase of new and used motor vehicles. ICII, also advanced AMN
$11.5 million to repay amounts owed pursuant to operating lines of credit and
for working capital purposes. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase
method of accounting. Goodwill of approximately $14.7 million was recorded. The
acquisition of AMN is consistent with the Company's general financing strategy:
the loans AMN originates will be pooled and securitized for sale in the
secondary market. Since the date of acquisition through the quarter ending March
31, 1997, AMN originated $16.1 million in sub-prime auto loans.


DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARIES

   During the first quarter ending March 31, 1997, the Company reduced its
percentage ownership in Southern Pacific Funding Corporation ("SPFC"), a
majority owned subsidiary providing non-conforming residential lending (NYSE
symbol: SFC) from 51.2% at December 31, 1996 to 49.4% at March 31, 1997. As a
result, commencing with the three months ended March 31, 1997, SPFC's financial
statements will no longer be consolidated with those of ICII. Under Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), when a subsidiary's ownership
percentage is reduced to below 50%, consolidation is no longer required.
Accordingly, the Company's investment in SPFC is reflected in the Company's
statement of condition as a separate line item entitled "Investment in Southern
Pacific Funding Corporation" and in the statement of income as "Equity in net
income of Southern Pacific Funding Corporation." The income from SPFC will
represent the Company's percentage ownership in the unconsolidated subsidiary's
net income. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the equity in net income
of SPFC was $6.3 million.

   During the first quarter of 1997, ICII disposed of its common stock interest
in ICI Funding Corporation "ICIFC," a subsidiary engaged in mortgage conduit
operations for Imperial Credit Mortgage Holdings, Inc. ("ICMH"). At December 31,
1996, ICII owned 100% of the common stock of ICIFC which represented a 1%
economic interest since ICMH (NYSE: IMH) a former subsidiary and now a
separate publicly held mortgage real estate investment trust, owned all of the
nonvoting preferred stock of ICIFC, which gave ICMH a 99% economic interest in
ICIFC. The Company's disposal of its remaining economic interest in ICIFC
concludes its exit from the mortgage banking business.

with approximately 111 customers, with an average total loan per customer of
$2.8 million. During 1996, CBC executed an expansion plan which has increased
its customer base outside of California. CBC now operates three loan production
centers in California and additional loan production centers in Boston,
Minneapolis, Atlanta, Portland, Chicago and Seattle. At March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, CBC had outstanding loans totaling $318.0 million and $288.5
million, of which $125.3 million and $115.6 million were outstanding to
technology companies, respectively. CBC had open unused commitments of $270.9
million at March 31, 1997.

 Loan Participation and Investment Group

   At March 31, 1997, loan participations held by LPIG ranged in
size from approximately $0.9 million to approximately $9.4 million, as compared
to approximately $0.6 million to $10.0 million at March 31, 1996, respectively.
As of March 31, 1997, LPIG committed to fund approximately $115.1 million of
senior secured loan participation commitments. Loans outstanding under LPIG's
participation commitments at March 31, 1997 totaled $161.2 million.

 Auto Lend Group

   Auto Lend had $28.8 million of commitments and $9.4 million of loans

lending ability, to provide car dealers a complete financing package. See
"Consumer Lending, Sub prime Auto Lending."


COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LENDING

 Income Property Lending Division

   For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, IPLD funded approximately
$75.9 million and $56.4 million in loans, respectively.


CONSUMER LENDING

 Sub-prime Auto Lending

   ALD originated $16.3 and $5.4 million in sub-prime auto loans during the
three months ended March 31, 1997, and 1996, respectively. The Company currently
originates sub-prime auto loans through three Northern California retail offices
and is expanding its activities to Central California and areas outside
California.

   On March 14, 1997, ICII acquired for $750,000 all of the outstanding shares
of Auto Marketing Network, Inc. ("AMN") of Boca Raton, Florida, a sub prime auto
lender. AMN is a nationally recognized specialty finance company engaged in
financing the purchase of new and used motor vehicles. ICII also advanced AMN
$11.5 million to repay amounts owed pursuant to operating lines of credit and
for working capital purposes. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase
method of accounting. Goodwill of approximately $14.7 million was recorded. The
acquisition of AMN is consistent with the Company's general financing strategy:
the loans AMN originates will be pooled and securitized for sale in the
secondary market. Since the date of acquisition through the quarter ending
March 31, 1997, AMN originated $16.1 million in sub prime auto loans.

SECURITIZATION TRANSACTIONS

   During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company completed lease
securitizations totaling $97.9 million. The Company has retained interests in
loan and lease securitizations representing the excess of the total amount of
loans sold in the securitization over the amounts represented by interests in
the security sold to investors.  The retained interests in the loan and lease
securitizations were $33.0 million and $49.5 million at March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, respectively. At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the
Company's consolidated balance sheet reflected Capitalized Excess Servicing Fees
Receivable of none and $23.1 million, respectively. At March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, the Company's consolidated balance sheet reflected Interest
Only and Residual Certificates of none and $87.0 million, respectively. The 
decline in Capitalized Excess Servicing Fees Receivable and Interest Only and 
Residual Certificates resulted from the deconsolidation of SPFC and ICIFC.

SERVICING RIGHTS

   When the Company purchases servicing rights from others, or loans which
include the associated servicing rights, the price paid for the servicing
rights, net of amortization based on assumed prepayment rates, is included on
the consolidated balance sheet as "Purchased and Originated Servicing Rights",
("PMSR's" and  "OMSR's").  For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, PMSR's and
OMSR's outstanding were $6.1 million, consisting of  $5.5 million at SPTL and
$600,000 at ICAI.  At December 31, 1996, PMSR's and OMSR's were $14.9 million,
consisting of $5.5 million at SPTL, $600,000 at ICAI and $8.8 million at ICIFC.
During the quarter ending March 31, 1997, the Company disposed of its ownership
interest in ICIFC and, therefore, ICIFC is no longer consolidated.

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 SPTL. Typically, ICII would borrow funds under its warehouse
lines in connection with its wholesale loan originations and purchases, while
SPTL 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 and FMAC.

   The Company continues to rely on FDIC insured deposits generated by SPTL and
third party warehouse lines of credit and securitizations.  At March 31, 1997,
SPTL had total deposits of approximately $1.2 billion (excluding deposits of
ICII maintained with SPTL).

   ICII and its subsidiaries had various revolving warehouse lines of credit
available at March 31, 1997, as follows: (In thousands)

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

  Income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 before extraordinary items
was $11.0 million or $0.27 per share, as compared to $8.6 million or $0.24 per
share for the same period last year. Net income including a $4.0 million
extraordinary item representing a loss on the early retirement of debt for the
first quarter ending March 31, 1997 was $7.0 million or $0.17 per share.


EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

  During the first quarter 1997, the Company successfully issued a 9.875% Senior
Note offering due 2007, totaling $200.0 million.  A portion of the proceeds from
the offering was used to repurchase $69.8 million of the outstanding  9.75%
Senior Notes, due 2004. The effect of the extraordinary item relating to the
early retirement of debt was a loss of $4.0 million or $0.10 per share for the
quarter.  The Company expects to utilize the remaining proceeds for capital
contributions to subsidiaries, strategic acquisitions, investments and for
general corporate purposes.


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) was 14.23% for the first quarter ended March 31,
1997, as compared to ROE of 26.28% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The
lower ROE relates to the Company's excess corporate liquidity that has not been
fully deployed. 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 SUBSIDIARIES

  During the first quarter ending March 31, 1997, the Company reduced its
ownership percentage in SPFC from 51.2% at December 31, 1996 to 49.4% at March
31, 1997. As a result, commencing with the three months ended March 31, 1997,
the financial statements of SPFC will no longer be consolidated with those of
ICII. The income from SPFC will be accounted for by the equity method of
accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. For the
three months ended March 31, 1997, the equity in net income of SPFC was $6.3
million.

  In addition, the Company disposed of its common stock interest in ICI Funding
Corporation ("ICIFC"), a company engaged in mortgage conduit operations for
Imperial Credit Mortgage Holdings, Inc. ("ICMH") (AMEX symbol: IMH). As a
result, commencing with the three months ended March 31, 1997, the financial
statements of ICIFC will no longer be consolidated with those of ICII. The
Company's disposal of its remaining economic interest in ICIFC concludes its
exit from the conforming residential mortgage banking business.

     As a result of the deconsolidation of SPFC and ICIFC; 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 presents gain on sale of loans, net-interest income, other income and
general and administrative expenses for the Company as if SPFC had been
accounted for as an equity investment and ICII's common stock interest in ICIFC
had been disposed for all periods presented.

REVENUES

     Total revenues for the Company during the first quarter ended March 31,
1997 were $40.3 million, a decrease of $3.9 million or 8.9% from the $44.2
million reported for the same period in 1996.

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
Gain on sale/Loan & Lease  Securitization and sales

  Gain on sale of loans and leases decreased $13.0 million to $8.7 million
during the first quarter of 1997 from $21.7 million for the same period last
year. The decrease in gain on sale of loans and leases was primarily
attributable to the deconsolidation of SPFC and ICIFC, partially offset by an
increase in gain on sale of leases for IBC.


Loan and Lease Originations

  During the first quarter ending March 31, 1997, the Company originated $275.8
million in loans and leases as compared to $562.8 million for the same period
last year. The decrease in originations for the quarter ending March 31, 1997 as
compared to the same period last year primarily resulted from the
deconsolidation of  SPFC and the inclusion of ICII's loan originations  prior to
the Company's exit from the mortgage banking business during the quarter ended
March 31, 1996. Excluding SPFC's and ICII's loan originations from the same
period last year, originations would have increased $95.2 million  when
comparing the first quarter 1997 to the same period  last year.

  During the first quarter ending March 31, 1997, the Company originated
loans/leases at SPTL, IBC, FMAC and ICII of $96.2 million, $30.1 million, $133.4
million and none, as compared to $65.7 million, $100.5 million, $14.4 million
and $297.3 million, respectively, for the same period last year. Originations
for the quarter ending March 31, 1997 for the newly acquired AMN since the date
of acquisition were $16.1 million.


Interest Income and Expense

  Interest income decreased $308,000 to $49.2 million for the first quarter of
1997 from $49.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest
income was primarily attributable to the deconsolidation of SPFC and ICIFC for
the quarter ending March 31, 1997. Excluding interest income for SPFC and ICIFC
from the first quarter of 1996, interest income increased by $13.9 million for
the quarter ending March 31, 1997, when compared to the same period last year.
The increase in interest on loans was primarily attributable to an overall
increase in the yield on outstanding loan and lease products.

  Interest expense decreased $8.4 million to $28.4 million for the first quarter
of 1997 from $36.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease in
interest expense primarily resulted from the deconsolidation of SPFC and ICIFC
for the quarter ending March 31, 1997, partially offset by higher borrowing
costs and increased outstanding average balances of warehouse lines of credit.
Excluding interest expense for SPFC and ICIFC from the first quarter of 1996,
interest expense for the current period ending March 31, 1997 increased $4.3
million, when comparing to the same period last year.

Net Interest Income and Margin 

  Net interest income and margin continued to improve for the first quarter of
1997. Net interest income increased by $8.1 million to $20.8 million for the
first quarter 1997 from $12.7 million for the same period last year. Excluding
net interest income for SPFC and ICIFC from the first quarter of 1996, net
interest income increased by $9.6 million for the quarter ending March 31, 1997,
when compared to the same period last year. Net interest margin at SPTL
increased to 4.28% for the first quarter 1997, an increase of 60 basis points
from the same period last year.

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
   The improvement in SPTL's net interest margin is primarily the result of the
Company's emphasis on the origination of higher yielding loan and lease
products.


SALE OF SPFC STOCK

   During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company sold 370,000 shares
of its common stock in SPFC.  As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a
pre tax gain of $4.3 million.


OTHER INCOME ITEMS

   Loan servicing income totaled $1.3 million for the first quarter of 1997 as
compared to income of $2.0 million for the same period last year. The decrease
in loan servicing income was primarily attributable to two factors: the sale of
substantially all of the Company's residential conforming mortgage loan
servicing portfolio in the first quarter of 1996, and continuing foreclosure and
liquidation costs associated with servicing the remaining residential conforming
mortgage loan portfolio.

   During the prior year's quarter ended March 31, 1996, mortgage loan servicing
rights relating to $2.6 billion of loans were sold resulting in a gain on sale
of servicing rights of $8.1 million as compared to no sale of servicing rights
for the current quarter ended March 31, 1997.

   Other income totaled $2.3 million during the first quarter of 1997 as
compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 1995. Other income includes fee
income generated from the Company's advisory contract with Imperial Credit
Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (AMEX symbol: IMH) during the quarter.


EXPENSES

   Total expenses for the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were
$21.1 million, a decrease of $6.1 million from the $27.2 million reported for
the same period in 1996. The decrease was primarily attributable to the
deconsolidation of SPFC and ICIFC. Excluding total expenses for SPFC and ICIFC
from the first quarter of 1996, total expenses decreased by $1.4 million for the
quarter ending March 31, 1997, when compared to the same period last year. This
decrease primarily resulted from the Company's exit from the mortgage banking
business in 1996.

   Personnel expenses decreased to $10.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to $12.4 million for the same period of the previous
year. This decrease was primarily the result of the deconsolidation of SPFC and
ICIFC. Excluding personnel expenses for SPFC and ICIFC from the three months
ended March 31, 1996, personnel expense increased from $9.6 million to $10.7
million for the quarter ending March 31, 1997. The increase in personnel expense
excluding SPFC and ICIFC results from the Company's acquisition and expansion
activities throughout 1996 and during the first quarter of 1997.

   Amortization of PMSR's and OMSR's decreased to $19,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $718,000 for the same period last year. The
decrease was primarily the result of the deconsolidation of SPFC and ICIFC and
from the sale in the prior years quarter ending March 31, 1996 of substantially
all of the Company's servicing rights on conforming residential mortgage loans
generated by the former mortgage banking operations.

   Occupancy expense decreased to $907,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 as compared to $1.3 million for the same period of the previous year. The
decrease primarily results from the deconsolidation of SPFC and ICIFC and from 
the Company's exit from the mortgage banking business in 1996. 

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
   Net expenses of OREO decreased to $757,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 as compared to $2.8 million for the same period last year.  The
decrease in net expense of OREO was primarily the result of reduced levels of 
OREO writedowns on the existing OREO properties. 

   In the prior year's quarter ending March 31, 1996, the Company recorded a
$3.8 million restructuring charge representing the costs anticipated to be
incurred in connection with the Company's exit from the conforming mortgage
business. For the period ending March 31, 1997, there was no additional
restructuring charge required.

   All other general and administrative expenses, including the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance premium, data processing, professional
services, and telephone and other communications expense, increased to $8.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $6.1 million
for the same period last year. Excluding SPFC and ICIFC for the quarter ending
March 31, 1996, such expenses were $4.9 million in the prior year. The overall
increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to
the Company's acquisition and expansion activities throughout 1996 and during
the first quarter of 1997.


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 $1.4 million  to $2.9 million
for the first quarter of 1997 from $1.5 million for the same period last year.
The increase in the loan and lease  loss provision for the first quarter of 1997
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, 1997 and December 31, 1996 remained
essentially stable at $51.6 million  and $50.1 million or 4.98% and 4.60% of
gross loans held for investment, respectively.

   The balance of nonaccrual loans relating to the former mortgage banking
operations included $19.6 million and $19.9 million of loans for March 31, 1997
and December 31, 1996, 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 nonaccrual loans, 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. The Company believes that the allowance for loan and lease losses is
adequate.

  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, 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, 
1997 or December 31, 1996, 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 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 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 capitalized excess servicing
assets.

     On September 30, 1996 SPTL entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with
the FDIC and the Department of Corporations. This agreement requires that SPTL
shall (i) have and retain qualified management, (ii) adopt and implement
comprehensive risk management policies, programs and systems, (iii) take all
reasonable and good faith steps to ensure future compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations, (iv) develop a credit review program, (v) update the
lending, investments and audit policies, and (vi) provide quarterly progress
reports to the FDIC and the Department of Corporations. This agreement will
remain in effect until terminated by the FDIC. As of March 31, 1997, SPTL's
Management believes that it has completed a significant portion of the terms and
conditions of the agreement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 Senior Note Offering/Repurchase of Debt

     During the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed a cash tender offer
and consent solicitation for all $90 million principal amount of its 9.75%
Senior Notes due 2004 at $1,040 per Senior Note. In January 1997, the Company
successfully completed a 9.875% Senior Note offering due 2007, totaling $200.0
million. A portion of the proceeds from the offering was used to repurchase
$69.8 million of the outstanding 9.75% Senior Notes. The remaining proceeds will
be used to make capital contributions to subsidiaries, strategic acquisitions,
investments, and for general corporate purposes. The effective interest rate on
the tendered notes was approximately 10.8% after amortization of original issue
discount and deferred bond issue costs. The effective interest rate on the new
notes is approximately 10.4% after the amortization of deferred bond issue
costs. The effective interest rate on the new notes is approximately 10.4% after
the amortization of deferred bond issue costs. The Company engaged in the tender
offer and new issuance in order to obtain a more favorable debt covenant
package, and to raise new capital to support its growing businesses.

     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. 

      SPTL obtains the necessary liquidity to fund its own lending activities
through deposits and, if necessary through borrowings from the FHLB. At March
31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, SPTL had available lines of credit from the FHLB
equal to $85.5 million and $212.7 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, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, respectively. The highest FHLB advance outstanding during the
quarter ending March 31, 1997 was $140.5 million, with an average outstanding
balance of $98.9 million. The outstanding balance of FHLB advances was $79.5
million at March 31, 1997. Since December 31, 1991, SPTL 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. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, SPTL's
deposit portfolio which consists mostly of certificate accounts increased
approximately $100 million to $1.2 billion from $1.1 billion at December 31,
1996.

     SPTL has been able to acquire new deposits through its local marketing
strategies as well as domestic money markets. Additionally, SPTL maintains
liquidity in the form of cash and interest bearing deposits with financial
institutions. SPTL tracks on a daily basis all new loan applications by
office and, based on historical closing statistics, estimates expected fundings.
Cash management systems at SPTL allow SPTL 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 (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 SPTL, public offerings of capital stock of ICII and SPFC, 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.

                                       26
<PAGE>
 
   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 SPTL 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.

   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 $195.1 million in
financing at March 31, 1997. 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 SPTL, together with liquidity available at ICII and
its subsidiaries, will adequately fund the Company's lending activities. Under
applicable regulations, dividends and loans from SPTL to ICII and its other
subsidiaries are subject to various limitations. Since December 31, 1992, ICII's
liquidity needs have included $51 million to make capital contributions to SPTL.
The combination of cash from operations, including servicing sales, and the net
proceeds received by the Company from its Senior Note offerings have allowed the
Company to meet its required liquidity needs for 1995 and 1996. 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 have allowed the Company to meet the capital resource needs
for at least the next 12 months.

ISSUANCE OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings per
Share".  SFAS 128 supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share" ("APB 15")
and specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for
earnings per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock.  SFAS will replace the presentation of primary EPS with
a presentation of basic EPS, and fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS.  SFAS 128
will also require dual presentation of  basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to
the numerator of the diluted EPS computation.  This statement shall be effective
for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after
December 15, 1997.  Earlier application is not permitted.  The Company has
determined that this statement will have no significant impact on the financial
position, or results of operations, or income per share for 1997.

  In February 1997,the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure". This statement requires disclosures about capital
structures that had been included in a number of previously existing separate
statements and opinions.  SFAS 129 requires an entity to explain, in summary
form within the financial statements, pertinent rights and privileges of the
various securities outstanding such as; dividend and liquidation preferences,
participation rights, call prices and dates, conversion or exercise prices or
rates and pertinent dates, sinking fund requirements, unusual voting rights  and
significant terms of contracts to issue additional shares.  An entity is also to
disclose within the financial statements the number of shares issued upon
conversion, exercise, or satisfaction of required conditions during at least the
most recent annual period.  In addition, with respect to preferred stock, an
entity is to disclose within the financial statements; liquidation preferences
of the stock, the aggregate or per share amounts at which preferred stock may be
called or subject to redemption and the aggregate and per-share amount of
arrearages in cumulative preferred dividends.  This statement shall be effective
for the financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after
December 15, 1997.  At this time the Company has determined that this Statement
will have no significant impact on its financial position or results of
operations for 1997.
