Item 1. Description of Business

Company History

We were  incorporated  under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 2, 2000.
MRU Holdings is a specialty  finance company who profiles and provides  students
with funds for higher education using a blend of current market credit practices
as well as our own  proprietary  analytic  models and decision  tools. We have a
prominent  brand name  "MyRichUncle(TM)"  and highly  scalable loan  origination
infrastructure.  We utilize  these assets to provide  federally  guarantied  and
private  loans to students on a referral  basis.  We have taken  steps,  as more
fully described  herein, to facilitate our entry into the student lending market
as a lender and originator of federally guarantied and private student loans.

On July 8, 2004, we completed a share exchange ("Share Exchange") with the stock
holders  of  Iempower,   Inc.,  a  Delaware   corporation   doing   business  as
MyRichUncle(TM)  ("Iempower"),  pursuant  to  which  we  acquired  100%  of  the
outstanding  capital stock of Iempower in exchange for  6,863,433  shares of our
common  stock,  par value $.001 per share (the  "Common  Stock")  and  2,136,567
Common Stock  purchase  warrants  issued to  Iempower's  warrant  holders  (each
warrant is  exercisable  to  purchase  one share of Common  Stock with a weighed
average  exercise  price  of  $0.45  per  share)  (the  "Share  Exchange").   In
conjunction with the Share Exchange,  we changed our name to MRU Holdings,  Inc.
Although  we  acquired  Iempower  as  a  result  of  the  Share  Exchange,   the
stockholders of Iempower hold a majority of our voting interests.  Additionally,
the Share  Exchange  resulted in  Iempower's  management  and Board of Directors
assuming operational control of the Company.


<PAGE>

On February 4, 2005, MRU Lending, Inc. ("MRU Lending"), an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  the  Company,  entered  into a  credit  agreement  (the  "Credit
Agreement") with Nomura Credit & Capital,  Inc.  ("Nomura") which provides for a
$165  million  secured   revolving  credit  facility  for  the  origination  and
warehousing of private student loans (the "Student Loan Credit  Facility").  The
loans under the Credit  Agreement are secured by, among other things,  a lien on
all of the  student  loans  financed  under the Credit  Agreement  and any other
student loans owned by MRU Lending and not otherwise  released,  together with a
pledge of 100% of the capital  stock of MRU  Lending.  The  Student  Loan Credit
Facility has a term of three  years.  Upon  execution  of the Credit  Agreement,
Nomura received  warrants to purchase  7,999,449 shares of our Common Stock (the
"Nomura  Warrants"),  equal to 27.5%  beneficial  ownership  of the Company on a
diluted basis,  with an initial  exercise price of $3.50 per share and which are
subject to standard weighted average  anti-dilution  protection for issuances of
securities below the initial exercise price. 22.5% of the Nomura Warrants vested
on February 4, 2005 and the remaining 5% will vest on the second  anniversary of
the  closing  date of the  Credit  Agreement.  Contemporaneously  with  and as a
condition  to the  execution  of the Credit  Agreement,  the  Company  sold in a
private  placement  offering  (the "Private  Placement  Offering") to accredited
investors 3,250,006 shares of its Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock ("Series
A  Preferred  Stock")  at a price of $3.50 per  share.  In  connection  with the
completion  of  the  Private  Placement  Offering,  the  Company  issued  to its
placement  agents  warrants to  purchase  227,500  shares of Common  Stock at an
exercise price of $3.50 per share (the "Placement Agent Warrants").

The Business

We are a specialty  finance company that facilitates and provides  students with
funds for higher  education.  Equipped with  proprietary  analytical  models and
decision tools, we are able to profile and provide customized financial products
to each student. We receive financing requests from students which we then refer
to lenders.  We have taken steps, as more fully described  herein, to facilitate
our  entry  into the  student  lending  market  as a lender  and  originator  of
federally guaranteed and private student loans.

We offer three primary financial products to students and financial institutions
participating  in  the  specialty  finance  educational  lending  sector.  These
products include private alternative student loans; guarantees for students with
certain credit  challenges  such as the lack of a co-signor or such as a foreign
resident seeking credit support to obtain domestic  educational  financing while
attending school in the U.S.; and federally-guaranteed  student loans originated
by us on on behalf of other lenders. We will generate revenues from (i) referral
or sale of  federal  loans,  (ii)  origination  fees and  guaranty  fees,  (iii)
residual  cash  flows  from the sale or  securitizations  of  portfolios  of our
alternative student loans and (iv) interest surcharges related to our guarantees
of student loans.

We use a unique and proprietary  underwriting model which we believe provides us
with a compelling competitive advantage. By combining traditional credit scoring
methods with our  proprietary  underwriting  matrix,  which  considers  the loan
applicant's  GPA,  academic  concentration,   prior  work  experience,  and  the
educational  institution  which they are  attending,  we generate our own credit
index which we believe is more  insightful  and robust  regarding an applicant's
future  repayment  capabilities.  Our  approach  may  offer  students  who would
otherwise  be  disqualified   under   traditional   credit  scoring  methods  an
opportunity to obtain funding for their education. Conversely, we may disqualify
or  price-adjust  loans for students that otherwise would be viewed as viable or
of a certain  credit risk under  traditional  methods.  We believe that no other
educational finance company currently uses a similar approach to evaluating loan
applicants or determining loan pricing.  Our  underwriting  process adds another
layer of analytical precision to traditional  evaluation tools and helps us make
more informed lending decisions.

In addition to our unique  underwriting  methodology,  we take a highly  focused
approach to our marketing  while  maintaining  one of the most diverse  sourcing
channels in the industry. Of the approximately 6,400 accredited  institutions of
higher  education  in  the  United  States,   we  focus  only  on  the  top  550
undergraduate and professional graduate institutions.  The professional graduate
disciplines that we target include law, business administration, engineering and
medicine.  We have also set limits on geographic  concentrations of the loans as
well as the  institution-specific  concentration  of the loan  portfolio.  These
criteria define our lending and marketing methods. We believe that this targeted
approach  will  consistently  yield  the  optimal  mix  of  attractive  pricing,
acceptable credit risk and a sufficiently deep base of potential  customers.  In
contrast, we use a highly diverse approach to sourcing potential customers which
we  believe  will  create  more  sustainable   distribution  channels  than  our
competitors.  We are one of the few companies in this sector to market  directly
to students.  Our direct  marketing  channels  include  Internet  marketing  and
advertising campaigns,  direct mail campaigns,  and our branded  MyRichUncle(TM)
web site.  In  addition,  we  intend to  develop  indirect  origination  sources
including  referrals  from  schools and  universities  and third party  referral
companies.  In  the  future,  we may  also  enter  into  private  label  lending
arrangements  with large banks and  financial  institutions.  Equipped  with our
unique credit model, our focused marketing and diverse distribution channels, we
are well  positioned  to enter and grow in the  market  for  higher  educational
products and services.

Industry Background

The federal  government  determines  what a family  should  contribute  toward a
student's  education  costs.  This is called the  Expected  Family  Contribution
("EFC").  Financial aid administrators determine an applicant's need for federal
student aid from the U.S.  Department of Education ("DoE") and other non-federal
sources  of  assistance  by  subtracting  the EFC  from  the  student's  cost of
attendance.

Families submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid ("FAFSA"). The data
provided is processed  through the EFC formula and is used to determine the need
for assistance from the following types of federal student financial assistance:
Federal Pell Grants ("Pell Grants"),  subsidized  William D. Ford Federal Direct
Loans made under the Direct Loan Program ("Direct  Loans"),  subsidized  Federal
Family  Education  Loans  ("FFELP"),  and  assistance  from  the  "campus-based"
programs--Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants ("SEO Grants") and
Federal  Perkins Loans,  and Federal  Work-Study  ("FWS").  The  methodology for
determining  the EFC is found in Part F of Title IV of the Higher  Education Act
of 1965, as amended ("HEA").

However,  over the last decade,  the  increasing  cost of higher  education  and
decreasing  government  support for higher education has generated a substantial
gap between  viable sources of education  funding and  increasing  tuition costs
which results in a mismatch  between what the government  expects families to be
able to contribute and what families can actually afford or are willing to pay.

Historically,  grant  programs  such as the Pell  Grant  was the  foundation  of
college  financial  aid. Pell Grants are given to families  with annual  incomes
below $20,000, while SEO Grants are reserved for even needier students. However,
most students do not qualify for Pell Grants.  The amount available under a Pell
Grant  increases  as a student's  income  decreases  and the cost of  attendance
increases. Nonetheless, the maximum amount available is $4,050. We estimate that
such aid covers  approximately 29% of the average fixed costs (tuition and fees,
room and board) at a four-year public college and approximately 14% at a private
four-year college.

As a result of very specific eligibility requirements and/or limits available on
grants  and  loans,  the  amount of funds  made  available  to  students  may be
insufficient to cover the total cost of higher  education.  This gap,  sometimes
called  the "unmet  need,"  occurs  when the sum of the EFC and total  available
financial aid is less than the cost of attendance. In order to bridge this unmet
need  students are forced to finance  education  through  private loans or other
debt.

Consequently, students increasingly rely on private loans (not guaranteed by the
government) and credit cards to fund their education  expenses.  The loan limits
for   government-guaranteed   FFELP   loans  are   $23,500   over  4  years  for
undergraduates  and  $18,500 per year for  graduate  students.  Average  private
university tuition is $40,000 + per year.

Federal Loans - The federal  education  loan programs offer lower interest rates
and more  flexible  repayment  plans than most  consumer  loans,  making them an
attractive way to finance education. Students may be able to deduct up to $2,500
in student loan interest each year.


                                       3
<PAGE>

These federal loans are offered  through two programs  with  different  delivery
systems:  the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program  ("Direct  Loans") and
the Federal  Family  Education Loan Program  ("FFELP").  Although the borrower's
eligibility  is the same  under  either  program,  the  procedures  for each are
different  because funds for Direct Loans are provided directly to the school by
the federal  government,  while loan funds under FFELP are usually provided by a
private lender and are  guaranteed by a state  guaranty  agency and reinsured by
the federal government.

The federal  guaranty on the FFELP loans replaces the security (the  collateral)
usually required for long-term loans from banks and credit unions.  Although the
guaranty   agency's   procedures   and  policies   must  conform  to  the  FFELP
requirements,  individual  guaranty agencies may have additional  procedures and
policies.  Several  thousand  financial  institutions  participate  in the FFELP
program.  In addition,  some  schools have opted to become  lenders in the FFELP
program.

The  following  types of loans are  available  through the Direct Loan and FFELP
programs:

o     Subsidized Stafford Loans:  awarded to students who demonstrate  financial
      need.  Because the DoE subsidizes the interest,  borrowers are not charged
      interest  while they are  enrolled  in school at least half time or during
      grace and deferment periods.

o     Unsubsidized  Stafford Loans:  awarded to students regardless of financial
      need.  Borrowers  are  responsible  for paying the interest as it accrues.
      Independent  students  and students  whose  parents are not eligible for a
      PLUS Loan (see below) have higher unsubsidized loan limits.

o     PLUS  Loans:  allow  parents  to  borrow  on  behalf  of  their  dependent
      undergraduate  children  who are  enrolled  at least  half  time.  As with
      unsubsidized  Stafford  Loans,  borrowers are responsible for the interest
      that accrues on PLUS Loans throughout the life of the loan.

o     Consolidation  Loans:  allow a  borrower  to combine  one or more  federal
      education  loans into a single loan to facilitate  repayment.  Because the
      repayment period is longer, Consolidation Loans may be a way to reduce the
      borrower's monthly payments;  however,  the total interest repaid over the
      life of the loan is usually higher. The consolidation process usually does
      not directly involve the school because generally the consolidating lender
      purchases qualifying student loans from other lenders.

FFELP loans are presently  offered by a large number of financial  institutions.
Sallie Mae,  Nellie Mae,  Citibank,  Zions Bank, Bank One, JP Morgan Chase Bank,
Educaid,  PNC, Wells Fargo, AES, Bank of America,  and Key Bank are a few of the
many providers of FFELP loans.

Stafford  Loans  allow  dependent  undergraduates  to borrow up to $2,625  their
freshman  year,  $3,500 their  sophomore year and $5,500 for each remaining year
(independent  students  and students  whose  parents have been turned down for a
PLUS loan can borrow an additional  unsubsidized  $4,000 the first two years and
$5,000 the  remaining  years).  Graduate  students can borrow  $18,500 per year,
although only $8,500 of that is subsidized.  There are also cumulative limits of
$23,000  for  an  undergraduate  education  and a  $65,500  combined  limit  for
undergraduate  and graduate.  (For  independent  students and for students whose
parents were denied a PLUS loan the cumulative  limits are $46,000 and $138,500,
respectively.)

Private Loans -- Private loans,  also known as alternative loans or supplemental
loans,  help bridge the gap between the actual cost of education and the limited
amount the government  allows  students to borrow through its programs.  Private
loans are offered by private lenders without federal forms to complete.

Private  loans are used for many  reasons:  to fill the gap  between a student's
financial aid package and the actual cost of  attendance,  to help cover the EFC
calculated under financial aid formulas,  or to pay for additional  expenses not
normally  covered  by  other  forms  of  aid.  In  many  cases,  the  EFC may be
unaffordable  as it does not factor in  non-collateralized  loans such as credit
card  debt.  Parents  may also  prefer  that  students  be  responsible  for the
financing.

With the growing gap between the amount  students  and  families  are willing or
able  to pay for  college  and  actual  college  costs  after  governmental  and
institutional  aid  are  considered--often   referred  to  as  "unmet  financial
need"--private  loans are becoming  increasingly  important  as a mechanism  for
financing postsecondary education.  Some families turn to private loans when the
federal  loans do not  provide  enough  money or when they  need  more  flexible
repayment options. For example, a parent might want to defer repayment until the
student  graduates,  an option that is only  available to parents in  particular
circumstances who request deferral.


                                       4
<PAGE>

Chase, CitiBank, Key Bank, Wachovia,  Bank of America,  AccessGroup,  Chela, and
FirstMarblehead  are a few of the  key  players  providing  different  types  of
private loans products and services  depending on the student's  level of study.
The interest  rates on private loans tend to be higher than on the loans offered
by the federal government.

Under Title IV of the Higher Education Act, the federal government has created a
provision  that private loans which are  guaranteed by a non-profit  corporation
are non-dischargeable in the event of bankruptcy.  As a result,  private lenders
seek to have  their  loans  guaranteed  by a  non-profit  guaranty  agency.  The
Education  Resources  Institute  ("TERI")  is a  provider  of  such  guaranties.
Citizens  Bank,  Educaid,  Fleet  National  Bank,  National  City Bank,  Bank of
America,  HSBC Bank, Charter One Bank and Allfirst Bank are among the banks that
have their loans  guaranteed  by TERI.  In exchange  for TERI's  guaranty,  TERI
receives  guaranty fees which can be passed on to the borrower.  These fees vary
based on the credit quartiles TERI determines the borrower to be in.

Product Offerings

We created a suite of products  to appeal to and satisfy the needs of  students,
their families,  and  participating  financial  institutions  and to address the
overall  inefficiencies  within the student loan market. We aim to be a one-stop
shop that provides  traditional and merit-based  financing for higher  education
financing  needs.  Our range of  products  will make it possible  for  qualified
students to obtain private and federal loans. These products include:


                                       5
<PAGE>

o     Private  Student Loans - Private  student loans  supplement  financing for
      qualified  students  beyond  what  they can  obtain  through  the  federal
      government and are not guaranteed by the  government.  To facilitate  this
      product,  we have established the Student Loan Credit Facility with Nomura
      which we anticipate will provide substantially all of the financing we now
      estimate will be required.  We plan to originate loans and warehouse these
      loans. It is anticipated that these loans will then be either sold to loan
      purchasers,  or  to  other  larger  financial  institutions,   or  may  be
      securitized.  We  expect  to  derive  revenues  from  an  origination  fee
      generated  upon the  execution of the loan and our share of residual  cash
      flows generated through the securitization or sale of the loans.  Revenues
      from the sale of loans  can  either  be paid  upon the sale of the loan or
      paid over time in the form of a residual.  Securitizations  can provide us
      with residual cash flows that are paid over time.  However,  if we receive
      residuals  that are paid  over the life of the  loan,  current  accounting
      rules allow us to book the net present value of the revenues in the period
      that the sale or securitization occurred.

o     Loan Guaranties  -Through our subsidiary MRUG we intend to guarantee loans
      provided  by  third-party  lenders  to  students  with  particular  credit
      challenges.  We plan to enable students,  with or without  co-signors,  to
      have their loans guaranteed if they meet our credit index requirements. It
      is anticipated  that students will pay fees to us for this service,  which
      includes an upfront guaranty fee and an annual interest surcharge over the
      life of the  loan.  We plan to  support  MRUG with $50  million  in equity
      raised by the sale of MRUG preferred stock to Universal Finanz Holding AG.
      Subject to the execution of  definitive  documentation,  Universal  Finanz
      Holding AG has committed to invest up to $50 million into MRUG to serve as
      the equity  reserve  against  which  MRUG will  guaranty  loans.  Revenues
      generated  from the guaranty fees and surcharges  will be divided  between
      Universal  Finanz  Holding AG and MRUG with  Universal  Finanz  Holding AG
      receiving 65% and MRUG receiving the remainder.  Universal  Finanz Holding
      AG will  hold  preferred  stock  in  MRUG  currently  equal  to 65% of the
      ownership interest in MRUG on a diluted basis.

o     Federal Loans - We intend  initially to refer students'  federal loan neds
      to other  lenders.  We  receive a premium  from such  lenders  for  funded
      applications.  We expect,  at the appropriate  time, to originate  federal
      loans  that  we  will  sell  for a  larger  premium  to  secondary  market
      purchasers of federal loans.  We will follow the  government's  guidelines
      for  originating  and servicing  federal  loans.  These  functions will be
      outsourced to third-party servicers.

Private Loans

We will  originate  private  student loans using a blend of  established  credit
market  practices  as  well  as  our  own  proprietary   underwriting  criteria,
analytical models and decision tools. We established a $165 million Student Loan
Credit  Facility  with  Nomura.  The  facility  will  be  used  to  finance  our
alternative student loan products. The loans eligible under the facility will be
loans originated by us that meet our underwriting  criteria.  Eligible loans can
remain  under the  facility for no more than 15 months at which time these loans
will either be sold to a third party,  repurchased by us or be securitized.  The
term of the Student Loan Credit Facility is three years.

We will warehouse our alternative  private loans through the Student Loan Credit
Facility.  We will  receive  fees for the  origination  of the  loans as well as
revenues in the form of residuals from the sale or  securitization  of the loans
which we will split with Nomura under the terms described herein.

Loan Guaranties

With respect to private loans,  in many cases students must have a credit worthy
co-signor.  Many  students are unable to procure  private  student loans because
they are  unable to  provide  such a  co-signor.  We plan to make  available  to
students a loan guaranty product by having our guaranty agency co-sign on behalf
of such students  enabling them to procure  student loans.  In exchange for this
guaranty  service,  students  will pay a  guaranty  fee and an  annual  interest
surcharge over the life of the loan.  Guaranty funds would be provided through a
credit support facility with Universal Finanz Holding AG.


                                       6
<PAGE>

In October 2004,  we announced  that  Universal  Finanz  Holding AG  "Universal"
committed to provide up to $50 million of credit  support for MRUG, our guaranty
subsidiary,  to serve as the equity  reserve  against  which MRUG will  guaranty
loans.  Under  the  terms of the  financing,  Universal  will  have the right to
purchase up to a 65% ownership  interest in MRUG and pay the purchase  price for
such ownership  interest by releasing MRUG from its obligation to repay an equal
amount of its  outstanding  obligations  to Universal  under the credit  support
facility. If fully funded and the purchase right exercised,  Universal will have
a 65%  ownership  interest in MRUG in the form of Series A  Perpetual  Preferred
Stock of MRUG.  Eligible  borrowers  who require a guaranty  will pay an upfront
guaranty fee and be charged an annual fee for the term of their loan.  We intend
to sell the cash flows from the annual fees for their NPV.  All of the fees will
be  divided  between  us and  Universal  at 35%  and  65%,  respectively,  after
Universal receives its reserve amount.

FFELP Loans

To provide a "one-stop shop" for higher  education  finance,  we plan to provide
students with FFELP loans.  With respect to FFELP loans,  we will be required to
meet federal requirements for the eligibility of borrowers.

We plan to serve initially as a referrer of federal loans by directing  students
to lenders.  We will receive a premium for all funded student  applications.  We
intend to  ultimately  be an  originator  of federal loans and sell the loans we
originate to secondary market purchasers.  The sale of loans to secondary market
purchasers  requires us to use our balance sheet to originate  loans as well has
handle the origination process. As a result, we receive a higher premium than if
we were simply referring loans. Premiums are computed based on the nature of the
loan and purchasers specific pricing grid. To proceed, we must appoint a Trustee
Lender. We have chosen Deutsche Bank as our Trustee Lender. A final agreement is
pending.  We must have a government  guarantor willing to guaranty the loans. We
must  execute  an  agreement  with  the  guarantor  and  meet  the   guarantor's
requirements  and procedures.  Thereafter,  we will be required to have a Lender
Identification  Number  ("LID") from the DoE. Once we are assigned an LID we may
commence lending through our trust.

At this time, we intend to outsource both origination and servicing to companies
with expertise in the origination and servicing of FFELP loans.  These companies
handle   any   borrower   inquiries,   electronic   signatures,    recordkeeping
requirements,  and procedures for the assignment,  sale or transfer of loans. In
addition,  the companies perform all reporting functions including informing the
guarantor,  credit bureaus and the National Student Loan Data System  ("NSLDS").
Loan origination and servicing is an established,  efficient industry and we can
choose from a wide range of providers.  At this time, we are in discussions with
an  established,  independent  third-party  originator  and  servicer of student
loans.

Company Operations

Marketing

We intend to  leverage  our brand  identity  in the higher  education  financing
space.  As a result of our unique name and  offerings,  to date we have received
approximately   $100  million  in  financing  requests  with  minimal  marketing
expenditures. We generally receive demand for our products without solicitation;
many of our customers hear about the Company through word of mouth.

We will  originate  loans in a variety  of ways.  We have  established  a school
channel sales force to reach out to high schools, colleges and universities.  We
focus on certain  institutions  and continue to nurture key  relationships  with
individuals who opine credibly about available financing options,  universities,
independent researchers and institutions, as well as to work closely with people
in the education finance industry.

We are  also  forming  referral  relationships  with  third-parties  who wish to
provide   private  loan  products  to  their  customer   base.   Many  of  these
third-parties  have a proven  track-record  of  referring  loan  volume to other
lenders and are interested in working with us.


                                       7
<PAGE>

Additionally, rather than rely exclusively on third-party channels to originate,
we are also able to go  directly  to  students.  We will use a variety of direct
marketing  strategies to originate  substantial  volumes from direct interaction
with students and further build a substantial  customer  database of individuals
seeking out financing for higher education.  In addition, this approach provides
MRU  with  greater  control  of  its  distribution   channels  relative  to  its
competitors who may ultimately compete with their current distribution partners.

Our website,  www.MyRichUncle.com,  is currently  the primary  means by which we
convey information about our products and interacting with students.  In various
sections of the website,  students,  the  financial aid community and others can
learn about our products, read press pieces, and submit questions.  Students can
also apply online and receive customer services.

Credit Model

Current  traditional  credit  scoring  takes into account  only an  individual's
history,  not his or her future repayment  capability.  Corporate credit markets
take  into  account  not  only  a  borrower's  payment  history,  but  also  the
expectations  of a borrower's  future cash flow as well to determine both credit
worthiness and credit  limits.  Similarly,  we take a more holistic  approach to
consumer credit by assessing not only an individual's credit score, but also his
or her  expected  future  repayment  capability.  We  have  developed  a  robust
proprietary  data  system  that  analyzes  a wider  range of data to  compute an
individual's estimated future repayment capability. This estimate can be used in
a variety of ways,  including  determining  an  individual's  ability to service
debt. This innovation  enables us to more  intelligently  profile  consumers and
provide them with customized financial products. We are focused initially on top
tier schools in each  discipline  because of the  predictability  and  excellent
performance of their students,  and will expand into  successively  lower tiered
schools upon proving our  underwriting  methodology.  Top tier schools are those
ranked in the top 550  nationally  for their  disciplines.  The median  starting
salary for our target schools will be well above national  averages.  We plan to
concentrate  on the  loan  applicant's  future  employment  prospects  and  have
discovered that unemployment rates for professional  graduate degree holders are
extremely  low.  We  will  take  a more  disciplined  approach  to  the  market,
initially,   particularly  in  our  first  year  and  target  highly  qualified,
professionally  inclined  students  attending top  universities.  Upon achieving
market  penetration  in this  demographic,  we will branch  tier-wise into other
tiers of schools.

Customer Service

We employ a staff of  customer  service  and  technical  support  personnel  who
provide  support to all users of our services.  Our staff  provides  support via
email and telephone.  The responsibilities of our customer service and technical
support personnel include:

o     responding  to  consumers'  questions  about the  status  of their  credit
      request, how to use our website, and other frequently asked questions; and

o     providing technical support to technical and systems questions.

Additionally,  our on line origination  platform offers students the opportunity
to obtain the loan products and other services we intend to provide. Our website
is the  primary  means by which  students  request  funds.  Students  access the
website  and  receive   information   about  the  products.   Students  download
applications  or apply  directly  online.  Prior to  submission of the student's
application, each student verifies under penalty of perjury that the information
provided in his or her student financing  application is true and correct to the
best of his or her knowledge  and belief and is made in good faith.  The student
authorizes the  institution for which he or she is applying for funds to certify
his or her academic status for the purpose of confirming  eligibility for funds.
The  student  also   authorizes  us,  or  a  servicing   agent,  to  investigate
creditworthiness  and to  furnish  information  concerning  the  application  to
consumer  reporting  agencies  and other  persons who may legally  receive  such
information.

Servicing and Collections

At this time we are acting purely as a loan  originator and are not  responsible
for the  servicing  of the loans.  We plan to outsource  servicing  for loans we
originate.

Privacy Policy

We believe that issues  relating to privacy and use of personal  information  of
Internet  users are  becoming  increasingly  important  as the  Internet and its
commercial use grow. As a result, we have adopted a detailed privacy policy that
outlines how we use  consumer  information  and the extent to which  lenders and
other  third  parties may access this  information.  This policy is  prominently
noted  on  our  website.  We  do  not  sell,  license  or  rent  any  personally
identifiable  information  about our consumers to any third party,  and will use
the information about its customers for internal purposes only.

Generally, the privacy provisions of the recently enacted Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
include the following:

o     prohibit  financial  institutions  from disclosing to  unaffiliated  third
      parties nonpublic personal information  collected from consumers,  subject
      to several exceptions;

o     require  financial  institutions to develop and disclose  consumer privacy
      policies;

o     empower  federal  regulators  with the  authority to regulate  information
      sharing and enforce the provisions of the law; and

o     allow states to pass stricter financial privacy laws.

Compliance with the  Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act became mandatory on July 1, 2001. We
work with our lenders to assist them in complying with their  obligations  under
the act, to the extent possible, through our website.

Intellectual Property

We regard our  intellectual  property as important to our success.  We rely on a
combination of patent, trademark,  copyright law, and trade secret protection to
protect our  proprietary  rights.  We have applied for a U.S. patent and filed a
Patent  Cooperation Treaty  international  patent application on our online loan
market  process.  We also pursue the  protection  of our  intellectual  property
through trademark and copyright  registrations.  We have filed an application to
register  MyRichUncle(TM)  as a trademark in the United States.  We consider the
protection  of our  trademarks  to be  important  for  maintenance  of our brand
identity and reputation. We cannot assure you that any of these registrations or
applications  will not be  successfully  challenged  by  others  or  invalidated
through  administrative  process  or  litigation.   Further,  if  our  trademark
applications are not approved or granted due to the prior issuance of trademarks
to third parties or for other  reasons,  there can be no assurance that we would
be able to enter  into  arrangements  with such third  parties  on  commercially
reasonable terms allowing us to continue to use such trademarks.  It is possible
that our patent  applications will be denied or granted in a very limited manner
such  that  they  offer  little  or no basis  for us to deter  competitors  from
employing  similar  technology  or  processes  or allow us to  defend  ourselves
against  third-party  claims of patent  infringement.  In  addition,  we seek to
protect our proprietary rights through the use of confidentiality agreements and
other  contractual  arrangements  with  our  employees,   affiliates,   clients,
licensees, and others.

Employees

As of  December  31,  2004,  we had 12 full  time  employees.  We  also  have 16
independent  contractor  relationships.  None of our employees  are  represented
under  collective  bargaining  agreements.  We consider our  relations  with our
employees to be good.

Competition

We operate an online loan origination platform.  The primary competitive factors
for our origination platform model are:

o     Brand  awareness:  To be competitive as an origination  platform,  we must
      have the ability to attract consumer demand in high volumes.  We will need
      to make  significant  investments to build and maintain a compelling brand
      that will compete against current lenders, such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of
      America and Citibank;

o     Online  relationships:  To  develop  our  market  shares  we must  provide
      consumers  with access to our website from other major portals or Internet
      sites; and

o     Friendliness:  We must provide our  consumers and lenders with ease of use
      and convenience.

Our success  depends upon  capturing  and  maintaining  a  significant  share of
students who obtain loans  through the  Internet.  In order to do this,  we must
grow brand awareness among customers. Many of our current competitors,  however,
have longer  operating  histories,  larger  customer  bases,  and  significantly
greater financial,  technical,  and marketing resources than we do. In addition,
participants  in other areas of the  financial  services  industry may enter the
student loan marketplace without significant barriers to entry.

We believe that our primary  competition are traditional  lending  institutions.
The loan  origination  market has a large number of competitors and is dominated
by a number  of large  institutions  including  Wells  Fargo,  Bank of  America,
JPMorgan Chase,  Citibank,  First  Marblehead  Corp.  (through its  facilitation
services for leading originators of private loans), and Sallie Mae.  Established
entities such as JPMorgan Chase,  Pennsylvania  Higher Education  Administration
and Citibank have also entered the online lending business as a way to diversify
their revenue streams,  maintain growth and broaden their appeal to a wider base
of consumers.

Additional competition comes from lending websites, including Citibank and Wells
Fargo.  These lenders originate the bulk of their loans via their websites,  and
are  considered   "e-lenders."  In  addition,  some  online  financial  services
companies,  including the online  brokerages and Internet  banks,  have extended
consumer  products  to  include  online  educational  lending.  These  companies
typically  operate a  consumer-branded  website and attract consumers via online
banner ads, key word placement on search engines, partnering with affiliates and
business  development  deals with other  Internet  properties,  including  major
portals. They may also attract consumers via off-line advertising.

Item 2. Description of Property.

The Company's  executive offices are located at 600 Lexington Avenue,  New York,
New York. The Company has a one year sub-lease that expires in June 2005 for our
executive  offices  which  specifies  rent of $ 10,833 per month  which has been
pre-paid through the end of the term of the lease.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation  relating to claims
arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. We currently are
not a  party  to any  legal  proceedings,  the  adverse  outcome  of  which,  in
management's  opinion,  individually or in the aggregate,  would have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

      None.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis.

The  following is a  discussion  of the  consolidated  financial  condition  and
results of  operations  of the Company for the fiscal  years ended  December 31,
2004 and 2003, which should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its
entirety by, the  consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto included
elsewhere in this report.

For the year  ended  December  31,  2004,  the  Company  incurred  a net loss of
$1,861,239,  compared to a net loss of $47,774 for the  comparable  2003 period.
The  increase  in the net  loss in 2004 is  primarily  attributable  to fees and
expenses  incurred by the Company in connection with the Nomura  transaction and
related financing activities in preparation of launching the Company's financial
services products.


                                       11
<PAGE>

RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  FOR THE YEARS ENDED  DECEMBER  31, 2004 AND DECEMBER 31,
2003.

REVENUES

For the year ending  December  31,  2004,  the Company  generated  approximately
$8,000 in other revenues. This is compared to $2,000 for the year ended December
31, 2003.  The  Company's  revenues in both 2004 and 2003 were derived from fees
paid to the  Company for  marketing  services  on behalf of other  student  loan
originators.  The  Company  does not  expect  this to be the  primary  source of
revenues for the company in the foreseeable future.

OPERATING EXPENSES

PROFESSIONAL FEES AND COMPENSATION

Professional fees and compensation expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004
totaled  $662,573  compared to $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. This
$660,573  increase  resulted  from costs  incurred  for the legal  review of the
Company's financial services products and the Share Exchange.

TRAVEL AND AUTOMOBILE EXPENSES

Travel and  automobile  expenses  for the year  ended  December  31,  2004 total
$32,717  compared to $13,224 for the year ended  December 31, 2003. The increase
is primarily due to the Company's  establishment of a West Coast sales office in
2004.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation  and  amortization  for the year ended  December  31, 2004  totaled
$13,872 as  compared  to $1,547  for the year  ended  December  31,  2003.  This
increase  is  primarily  due to the  Company's  increased  purchase  of computer
network equipment in 2004.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income  (expense)  for the year ended  December 31, 2004 was an expense of
$10,194 as  compared  to an expense  of $1,500 for the year ended  December  31,
2003.  The  increase in other  expense was due to accrued  interest on escrow of
sale of preferred stock completed in February 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash of $1,648,877  and trade  receivables  of $0 as of December
31, 2004. Our total current assets were  $1,829,458 as of the same date. We also
had $67,121 in property and equipment,  making our total assets $1,896,579.  Our
total current liabilities were $461,583 as of December 31, 2004. We had $439,450
in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses  and  $22,133 in accrued  interest
payable.  For the same  period  ended  December  31,  2003,  we had cash of $49,
accounts  receivable of $0, and total current assets of $49. We also had $11,036
in property and equipment, making our total assets $11,085.

The Company  believes that through its  operations as a student loan  originator
and the  completed  sale of  preferred  stock on February 5, 2005,  which raised
approximately  $10.5  million,  that it will have  sufficient  cash resources to
maintain operations over the next twelve (12) months.

As of December 31, 2004, we have no long-term commitments or contingencies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ESTIMATES

Our Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of
Operations section discusses our consolidated  financial statements,  which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses  during the  reporting  period.  On an on-going
basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related
to  revenue   recognition,   accrued   expenses,   financing   operations,   and
contingencies  and litigation.  Management  bases its estimates and judgments on
historical  experience  and on various  other  factors  that are  believed to be
reasonable  under the  circumstances,  the  results  of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not
readily  apparent  from other  sources.  Actual  results  may differ  from these
estimates  under  different  assumptions  or  conditions.  The most  significant
accounting  estimates  inherent in the  preparation of our financial  statements
include  estimates as to the  appropriate  carrying  value of certain assets and
liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.  These accounting
policies are described at relevant  sections in this discussion and analysis and

The term "disclosure  controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and

Act").  This term refers to the  controls and  procedures  of a company that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the
reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized,
and reported within the required time periods.  Our Chief Executive  Officer and
our Chief Financial  Officer have evaluated the  effectiveness of our disclosure
controls  and  procedures  as of the end of the period  covered  by this  annual
report.  They have concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure  controls and
procedures  were  effective  at  ensuring  that  required  information  will  be
disclosed on a timely basis in our reports filed under the Exchange Act.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial  reporting (as defined in Rules
13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  under the Exchange  Act)  occurred  during the period
covered by this report that has materially affected,  or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors
MRU Holdings, Inc.
New York, New York

We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet of MRU Holdings,
Inc. and Subsidiaries  (formerly  Pacific  Technology,  Inc.) as of December 31,
2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated changes
in stockholders'  equity  (deficit),  and consolidated  cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. 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 have conducted our audits in accordance  with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and  perform  the  audits 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  consolidated  financial  statements.  An audit also includes  assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall  consolidated  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 consolidated  financial  position of MRU
Holdings,  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  (formerly  Pacific  Technology,  Inc.) as of
December  31,  2004 and 2003 and the  results  of its  consolidated  operations,
consolidated  changes in stockholders'  equity (deficit) and their  consolidated
cash flows for the years then ended in  conformity  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               FOR THE YEARS ENDED
                           DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The  Company  was  incorporated  in  Delaware  on  March  2,  2000  as Dr.
      Protein.Com,  Inc.  and on  March 7,  2003  changed  its  name to  Pacific
      Technology,  Inc.  On July 6,  2004 the  Company  changed  its name to MRU
      Holdings, Inc.

      On July 8, 2004 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock
      of Iempower, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation doing business as
      MyRichUncle ("Iempower"),  pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated as
      of April 13,  2004 with  Iempower  and it  stockholders  in  exchange  for
      6,863,433  shares of common  stock  $0.001 par value per share,  which the
      Company issued to the  stockholders  of Iempower,  together with 2,136,567
      common stock  purchase  warrants to the warrant  holders of Iempower (each
      warrant is  exercisable  to purchase  one share of common  stock,  and the
      warrants  have a  weighted  average  exercise  price of $0.45 per  share).
      Concurrently,  and in connection with the exchange of shares,  the Company
      also sold 100% of the outstanding  capital stock of its Nevada subsidiary,
      Pacific Technology,  Inc., to four of the Company's principal stockholders
      prior to the  exchange of shares in exchange for  9,325,000  shares of the
      Company's  common  stock,  which has been  retired.  Although  the Company
      acquired  Iempower as a result of the share exchange,  the stockholders of
      Iempower  hold  a  majority  of  the  voting   interest  in  the  Company.
      Additionally,  the share  exchange  resulted in Iempower's  management and
      Board of Directors assuming operational control of the company.

      The  Company  has  permanently  discontinued  the  business of selling and
      distributing optical storage devices and has adopted the Iempower business
      plan  directed  primarily  at  providing  students  with  funds for higher
      education  using a  proprietary  approach of  analyzing  future  repayment
      potential  to  profile  and  provide  customized   financial  products  to
      students. The Company receives financing requests from students, which the
      Company refers to lenders.  The Company also proposes to originate federal
      loans,  which are student loans  guaranteed by the federal  government and
      private  loans.  The Share  Exchange has been  accounted  for as a reverse
      merger under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, Iempower will
      be  treated  as the  continuing  entity for  accounting  purposes  and the
      historical financial statements presented will be those of Iempower.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

      The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the Company
      and  all its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries.  All  significant  intercompany
      accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

      The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with  accounting
      principles  generally  accepted in the United  States of America  requires
      management  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the reported
      amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition

      The Company  records its revenue on the accrual basis,  whereby revenue is
      recognized when earned and expenses recognized when incurred.

      Commencing  in 2002,  the  Company  generated  revenues.  The  Company  on
      December  31,  2004 and 2003 had  earned  consulting  revenue  and had not
      earned any fees from student loan activity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

      The  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid  debt  instruments  and other
      short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to
      be cash equivalents.

      The Company  maintains  cash and cash  equivalent  balances at a financial
      institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
      up to $100,000.  At December 31, 2004 and 2003,  the  Company's  uninsured
      cash balances total $1,660,057 and $-0- respectively.

Fixed Assets

      Fixed assets are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed primarily using
      the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets.

      Computer network equipment                              3-5 Years
      Furniture and fixtures                                   5 Years

      Income Taxes

      The income tax benefit is computed on the pretax  income  (loss)  based on
      the current tax law.  Deferred  income  taxes are  recognized  for the tax
      consequences  in  future  years of  differences  between  the tax basis of
      assets  and  liabilities  and their  financial  reporting  amounts at each
      year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates.

Advertising

      Costs of advertising and marketing are expensed as incurred. For the years
      ending  December  31,  2004 and  2003  the  company  paid  $17,577  and $0
      respectively of advertising and marketing expenses.

      (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

      Historical  net (loss) per common  share is  computed  using the  weighted
      average number of common shares  outstanding.  Diluted  earnings per share
      (EPS) includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents,  such as
      stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants.

      For  December  31,  2004  and  2003,  warrants  were not  included  in the
      computation of diluted EPS because inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      The  carrying  amount  reported  in the  balance  sheet  for cash and cash
      equivalents,  accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value
      because  of the  immediate  or  short-term  maturity  of  these  financial
      instruments.

      Stock Based Compensation

      The Company has elected to follow Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No.
      25  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to Employees"  (APB No. 25), and related
      interpretations,  in accounting  for their  employee  stock options rather
      than the  alternative  fair  value  accounting  allowed  by SFAS No.  123,
      "Accounting for Stock- Based  Compensation",  and has adopted the enhanced
      disclosure  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  148,  "Accounting  for  Stock  Base
      Compensation - Transition and Disclosures",  an amendment of SFAS No. 123.
      APB  No.  25  provides  that  the  compensation  expense  relative  to the
      Company's  employee stock options is measured based on the intrinsic value
      of the stock  option.  SFAS No.123  requires  companies  that  continue to
      follow  APB No. 25 to  provide a  pro-forma  disclosure  of the  impact of
      applying the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 and, as amended, SFAS 148.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

      Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In June  2001,  the FASB  issued  Statement  No. 142  "Goodwill  and Other
      Intangible  Assets".  This Statement  addresses  financial  accounting and
      reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes
      APB Opinion No. 17,  "Intangible  Assets".  It  addresses  how  intangible
      assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but
      not those acquired in a business  combination)  should be accounted for in
      financial statements upon their acquisition. This Statement also addresses
      how goodwill and other  intangible  assets  should be accounted  for after
      they have been initially recognized in the statements. The Company in 2001
      impaired an intangible asset for $18,000.

      On October 3, 2001,  the FASB issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
      Standards  No.  144,   "Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or  Disposal  of
      Long-Lived   Assets"  ("SFAS  144"),   that  is  applicable  to  financial
      statements  issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The
      FASB's new rules on asset impairment  supersede SFAS 121,  "Accounting for
      the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets  and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be
      Disposed  Of," and portions of  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion 30,
      "Reporting  the Results of  Operations."  This Standard  provides a single
      accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly
      changes  the  criteria  that would have to be met to  classify an asset as
      held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale is an important distinction
      since such assets are not  depreciated and are stated at the lower of fair
      value or carrying  amount.  This Standard also  requires  expected  future
      operating  losses from  discontinued  operations  to be  displayed  in the
      period  (s) in  which  the  losses  are  incurred,  rather  than as of the
      measurement date as presently required.

      In  November  2002,  the FASB  issued  Interpretation  No. 45 ("FIN  45"),
      "Guarantor's   Accounting  and  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Guarantees,
      Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others".  FIN 45 requires
      a company,  at the time it issues a  guarantee,  to  recognize  an initial
      liability for the fair value of  obligations  assumed under the guarantees
      and elaborates on existing disclosure  requirements  related to guarantees
      and warranties.  The recognition requirements are effective for guarantees
      issued or modified  after  December 31, 2002 for initial  recognition  and
      initial  measurement  provisions.  The  adoption  of FIN 45 did not have a
      significant  impact on the  Company's  results of  operations or financial
      position.

      In January  2003,  the FASB issued FASB  Interpretation  No. 46 ("FIN46"),
      "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No.
      51". FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated
      by the primary  beneficiary  of the entity if the equity  investors in the
      entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest
      or do not have  sufficient  equity at risk for the entity to  finance  its
      activities  without additional  subordinated  financial support from other
      parties.  FIN 46 is  effective  for all  new  variable  interest  entities
      created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities
      created or acquired  prior to February 1, 2003,  the  provisions of FIN 46
      must be applied for the first  interim or annual  period  beginning  after
      June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a significant impact on
      the Company's results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 4- PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

      Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions  reported in
      the financial  statements  and consist of taxes  currently  due.  Deferred
      taxes related to differences  between the basis of assets and  liabilities
      for  financial  and  income  tax  reporting  will  either  be  taxable  or
      deductible  when the assets or liabilities  are recovered or settled.  The
      difference  between the basis of assets and  liabilities for financial and
      income tax reporting are not material therefore,  the provision for income
      taxes from operations consist of income taxes currently payable.

      There was no provision  for income taxes for the years ended  December 31,
      2004 and 2003.

      At December  31,  2004 and 2003,  the  Company  had  accumulated  deficits
      approximating  $2,313,441 and $442,008  respectively,  available to offset
      future taxable income through 2023.

      Capital, Inc. as Agent ("Nomura"),  a subsidiary of Nomura Holdings, Inc.,
      and the institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders,  pursuant
      to which the  lenders  have  agreed to  provide  MRU  Lending  with a $165
      million  secured   revolving  credit  facility  for  the  origination  and
      warehousing of private student loans. The loans under the Credit Agreement
      are secured by,  among other  things,  a lien on all of the student  loans
      financed  under the Credit  Agreement and any other student loans owned by
      MRU Lending and not otherwise released,  together with a pledge of 100% of
      the capital stock of MRU Lending.  The Credit Agreement contains terms and
      provisions (including representations, covenants and conditions) customary
      for  transactions  of this type.  The Credit  Agreement  also provides for
      customary events of default, including failure to pay principal,  interest
      or fees when due,  failure to comply with  covenants,  breaches of certain
      representations  and  warranties,  the  bankruptcy  of MRU  Lending or MRU
      Lending  Holdco  LLC,  MRU  Lending's   direct  parent  and   wholly-owned
      subsidiary of the Company, failure to maintain certain net worth ratios, a
      material  adverse  change in MRU  Lending's  ability to originate  student
      loans,  and  failure  of  the  Company  to  indirectly  own  100%  of  the
      outstanding capital stock of MRU Lending. The facility will have a term of
      three  years.  As a result  of this  transaction,  Nomura  was  granted  a
      warrant, subject to certain terms and conditions, to purchase common stock
      of the  Company  equal to 27.5%  ownership  interest  in the  Company on a
      diluted basis.
