5. REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENTS:

          Effective August 1, 1994, the Company entered into a Secured Revolving
Credit Agreement with Sentry Financial Corporation ("Sentry") which was amended
and restated on July 31, 1995. The amended agreement ("Revolving Credit
Agreement") provides for a $10,000,000 warehouse line of credit which terminates
December 31, 2000, unless terminated earlier by the Company or Sentry upon
meeting certain defined conditions. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit
Agreement are to be used to originate and acquire Finance Contracts, to pay for
loss default insurance premiums, to make deposits to a reserve account with
Sentry, and to pay for fees associated with the origination of Finance
Contracts. The Revolving Credit Agreement is collateralized by the Finance
Contracts acquired with the outstanding borrowings, and a guarantee by the
majority shareholder and an affiliate, wholly owned by the majority shareholder.
The Company pays a utilization fee of up to 0.21% per month on the average
outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit
Agreement also requires the Company to pay up to 0.62% per quarter on the
average unused balance. Interest is payable monthly and accrued at a rate of
prime plus 1.75% (10.25% at December 31, 1995). The Revolving Credit Agreement
contains certain restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a
certain minimum net worth, and cash and cash equivalent balances. Under the
Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company paid interest of $411,915 for the year
ended December 31, 1995.

        Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company is required to
pay

                                       6

<PAGE>

a $700,000 warehouse facility fee payable upon the successful  securitization of
Finance Contracts.  The $700,000 is payable in varying amounts after each of the
first three securitizations. The Company accrued the $700,000 debt issuance cost
upon the first securitization in December, 1995, the date the Company determined
the  liability to be probable in  accordance  with SFAS No. 5. The $700,000 debt
issuance cost is being amortized as interest  expense through December 31, 2000,
the termination date of the Revolving Credit Agreement,  utilizing the effective
interest method.

        Effective June 16, 1995, the Company entered in to a $25,000,000 Credit
Agreement with Nomura Asset Capital Corporation ("Nomura") which allowed for
advances to the Company though June 2000 with all outstanding amounts to mature
June 2005. Advances outstanding under the facility accrued interest at the three
month LIBOR rate plus 6.75% which approximated 12.59% at December 31, 1995. The
warehouse facility allowed Nomura to terminate the agreement upon 120 days
notice. On October 6, 1995, the Company received notice of Nomura's intent to
terminate, and all outstanding advance amounts together with accrued interest
were paid by the Company prior to March 31, 1996.

        Effective May 21, 1996 the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary
AutoBond Funding Corporation II, entered into a $20 million revolving warehouse
facility (the "Revolving Warehouse Facility"), with Peoples Security Life
Insurance Company (an affiliate of Providian Capital Management), which expires
December 15, 1996. The proceeds from the borrowings under the Revolving
Warehouse Facility are to be used to acquire Finance Contracts, to pay credit
default insurance premiums and to make deposits to a reserve account. Interest
is payable monthly at a per annum rate of LIBOR plus 2.60%. The Revolving
Warehouse Facility also requires the Company to pay a monthly fee on the average
unused balance of 0.25% per annum. The Revolving Warehouse Facility is
collateralized by the Finance Contracts acquired with the outstanding
borrowings. The revolving Warehouse Facility contains certain covenants and
representations similar to those in the agreements governing the Company's
existing securitizations.

6. NOTES PAYABLE:

        Pursuant to the securitization completed in December 1995, the Company
entered into a term loan agreement with a...company to borrow approximately
$2,684,000. The loan was collateralized by the Company's Class.....B Certificate
in the Trust as well as the Transferor's Interest in the cash flows of the Trust
 . The loan accrued interest at 20% per annum payable monthly and principal
payments were made based on principal payments received on the Class B
Certificates.

        Effective April 8, 1996, the outstanding balance of $2,585,757 was

refinanced through a non-recourse term loan entered into with a new finance
company. The term loan is collateralized by the Company's Class B Certificates,
and matures April 8, 2002. The term loan bears interest at 15% per annum payable
monthly. Principal and interest payments on the term loan are paid directly by
the Trustee to the finance company and are based on payments required to be made
to the Class B Certificateholder pursuant to the Trust. The Company can prepay
the term loan in whole or part at any time if the holder seeks to transfer such
loan to a third party.

        Effective March 28, 1996, the Company obtained another non-recourse term
loan in the amount of $2,059,214 from an institutional investor under similar
terms as described in the preceding paragraph. The loan is collateralized by the
Class B Certificates issued to the Company pursuant to the March 29, 1996
securitization transaction. The Company may prepay the loan in whole or in part
at any time subsequent to March 28, 1997, or any time after receiving notice by
the investor of its intent to transfer the loan to a third party. The maturity
date of the loan is the earlier of March 28, 2002 or the date that all
outstanding principal and accrued interest has been paid by the Trustee or the
Company.

        Effective June 27, 1996, the Company obtained a third non-recourse term
loan in the amount of $2,066,410 from an institutional investor under similar
terms as described in the preceding two paragraphs. The loan is collateralized
by the Class B Certificates issued to the Company pursuant to the June 27, 1996
securitization transaction. The Company may prepay the loan in whole or in part
at any time subsequent to June 27, 1997, or any time after receiving notice by
the investor of its intent to transfer the loan to a third party. The maturity
date of the loan is the earlier of April 15, 2002 or the date that all
outstanding principal and accrued interest has been paid by the Trustee.

               Effective September 30, 1996, the Company obtained non-recourse
term loans in the aggregate amount of $2,403,027 from institutional investors
under similar terms as described in the preceding paragraphs. The loans are
collateralized by the Class B Certificates issued to the Company pursuant to the
September 30, 1996 securitization transaction. The Company may repay the loans
in whole or in part at any time subsequent to September 30, 1997, or any time
after receiving notice by an investor of its intent to transfer its loan to a
third party. The maturity date of each loan is the earlier of September 30, 2002
or the date that all outstanding principal and accrued interest has been paid by
the Trustee or the Company.

        During July 1996, a private investment management company entered into a
commitment agreement to provide the Company financing collateralized by the
senior excess spread interests to be created in each of the Company's
securitization

transactions  through  September 1997. Timing and amount of payments of interest
and  principal  on  the  loans  will  correspond  to   distributions   from  the
securitization  trusts on the Class B  Certificates.  The interest  rate of such
loans will be 15% per annum,  payable monthly.  The commitment is subject to the
Company's  ability  to  continue  meeting  several  provisions,  including:  (1)
similarly  structured  securitization  transactions;  (2) the  absence of rating
downgrades  and defaults from  previous  securitizations;  and (3)  satisfactory
performance reports.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

           The Company leases office space, furniture, fixtures and equipment
under operating leases and allocates a significant portion of such costs to the
Company based on estimated usage. The affiliate reports such leases as operating
leases. Total rent expense allocated to the Company under all operating leases
was approximately $237,938 and $268,022 in the first nine months of 1995 and
1996 respectively.

        The aggregate minimum rental commitments of the affiliate for all
non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of more than one
year are as follows:

        The Company guaranteed a working capital line entered into by the
Company's majority shareholder. Total borrowings of $2,250,000 under such line
of credit were contributed to the Company as additional paid-in capital during
the year ended December 31, 1995. The indebtedness of the majority shareholder
is repaid from and collateralized by a portion of cash flows from Finance
Contracts underlying certain securitization transactions completed by the
majority shareholder and affiliates owned by the majority shareholder, The
outstanding balance guaranteed by the Company at December 31, 1995 was
approximately $2,000,000. All amounts outstanding under the working capital
line, if any, are expected to be repaid from the sale of a portion of the
majority shareholder's common stock upon successful completion by the Company of
an initial public offering. In April 1996, the Company made a payment of $89,000
as a principal reduction in the working capital line to bring the outstanding
balance to the maximum permitted outstanding amount as of March 31, 1996.
Effective September 26, 1996 the Company was released from its guarantee of the
shareholder's debt and the outstanding amounts of such debt were repaid by the
selling shareholders from IPO proceeds.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and the other financial data
included herein. The financial information set forth below has been rounded in
order to simplify its presentation. However, the ratios and percentages set
forth below are calculated using the detailed financial information contained in
the Financial Statements and the Notes thereto, and the financial data included
elsewhere in this Prospectus. The unaudited results for the nine months ended
September 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
entire fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

        AutoBond Acceptance Corporation ("the Company") is a specialty consumer
finance company engaged in underwriting, acquiring, servicing and securitizing
retail installment contracts ("finance contracts") originated by franchised
automobile dealers in connection with the sale of used and, to a lesser extent,
new vehicles to selected consumers with limited access to traditional sources of
credit ("subprime consumers"). Subprime consumers generally are borrowers unable
to qualify for traditional sources of credit financing due to one or more of the
following reasons: negative credit history (which may include late payments,
charge-offs, bankruptcies, repossessions or unpaid judgments); insufficient
credit, employment or residence histories or high debt-to-income or
payment-to-income ratios (which may indicate payment or economic risk).

        The Company acquires contracts directly from franchised automobile
dealers, makes credit decisions using its own underwriting guidelines and credit
personnel and performs the collection function for finance contracts using its
own collections department. The Company also acquires finance contracts from
third parties other than dealers, for which the Company reunderwrites and
collects such finance contracts in accordance with the Company's standard
guidelines. The Company securitizes portfolios of these retail automobile
installment contracts to efficiently utilize limited capital to allow continued
growth and to achieve sufficient finance contract volume to allow profitability.
The Company markets a single finance contract acquisition program to automobile
dealers which adheres to consistent underwriting guidelines involving the
purchase of primarily late-model used vehicles.

REVENUES

        The Company's primary sources of revenues consist of three components:
net interest income, gain on sale of finance contracts and servicing and
collection 

                                       10

fees.

        Net Interest Income. Net interest income consists of the sum of two
components: (i) the difference between interest income earned on finance
contracts held for sale and interest expense incurred by the Company pursuant to
borrowings under its warehouse and other credit facilities; and (ii) the
accretion of finance contract acquisition discounts. Other factors influencing
net interest income during a given fiscal period include (a) the annual
percentage rate of the finance contracts acquired, (b) the aggregate principal
balance of finance contracts acquired and funded through the Company's warehouse
and other credit facilities prior to securitization, (c) the length of time such
contracts are funded by the warehouse and other credit facilities prior to
securitization and (d) the average cost of funds under the warehouse and other
credit facilities. Finance contract acquisition growth has had a significant
impact on the amount of net interest income earned by the Company.


Gain on Sale of Finance  Contracts.  Upon  completion of a  securitization,  the
Company  recognizes  a gain on sale of finance  contracts  equal to the  present
value of future excess spread cash flows from the securitization  trust, and the
difference between the net proceeds from the securitization and the net carrying
cost  (including the cost of VSI Policy  premiums) to the Company of the finance
contracts sold. The Class B Certificates and the excess servicing receivable are
determined based on the estimated present value of excess spread cash flows from
a  securitization  trust.  Excess  spread cash flows  represent  the  difference
between the weighted  average  contract rate earned and the rate paid on Class A
Certificates  issued  to  third  party  investors  in the  securitization,  less
servicing  fees and other  costs,  over the life of the  securitization.  Excess
spread  cash flows are  computed  by taking  into  account  certain  assumptions
regarding prepayments,  defaults,  proceeds from disposal of repossessed assets,
and servicing and other costs.  The Class B  Certificates  and excess  servicing
receivable are determined by discounting  the excess spread cash flows at a rate
based on assumptions that market  participants  would use for similar  financial
instruments subject to prepayment,  default,  collateral value and interest rate
risks.  The  Class B  Certificates  are then  formed by  carving  out 80% of the
discounted  excess spread cash flows. The remaining 20% of the discounted excess
spread cash flows represent excess servicing receivable.  All excess spread cash
flows are paid by the securitization  Trustee to the Class B  Certificateholders
until such time as all accrued interest at 15% together with principal have been
paid in full.  Subsequently,  all remaining excess spread cash flows are paid to
the Company and are referred to as the  'Transferor's  Interest." The discounted
Transferor's  Interest is reported  in the  balance  sheets as excess  servicing
receivable.  In  each  securitization,  all  of the  Class  B  Certificates  and
Transferor's  Interest are retained by the Company. The Class B Certificates are
used by the Company as  collateral on its  non-recourse  term loans entered into
with investors.  Each quarter,  the Company performs an impairment review of the
excess servicing

                                       11

<PAGE>


receivable by  calculating  the net present value of the expected  future excess
spread cash flows to the Company  from the  securitization  trust using the same
discount rate used to record the initial  excess  servicing  receivable.  To the
extent  that  market and  economic  changes  occur  which  adversely  impact the
assumptions utilized in determining the excess servicing receivable, the Company
would  record a charge  against  servicing  fee  income and write down the asset
accordingly.  Impairment is determined on a disaggregated  basis consistent with
the  risk  characteristics  of  the  underlying  finance  contracts,  consisting
principally  of  origination  date and  originating  dealership,  as well as the
performance of the pool to date. There were no adjustments  required as a result
of  impairment  reviews  during any of the periods  presented  in the  financial
statements.  Should the Company be unable to securitize finance contracts in the
form of a sale in a financial reporting period, the Company would likely incur a
significant  decline in total  revenues and net income or report a loss for such
period. To date, the Company's  securitizations  have been characterized as debt
for tax  purposes.  Since the Company  records a provision  for income  taxes on
securitizations,  alternatively characterizing  securitizations as sales for tax
purposes would have no effect on net income, although the timing of tax payments
by the Company would be accelerated.

        Gain on sale of finance contracts was $3,951,706, $2,749,612,
$2,972,804, and $3,679,081 for each of the securitizations occurring in December
1995, March 1996, June, 1996 and September 1996 respectively. This represents
approximately 15.05%, 16.60%, 16.67% and 16.50% of the outstanding balances of
the finance contracts at each of the respective securitization dates. Gain on
sale can be broken into three major components: the amount by which the proceeds
from the sale of Class A Certificates exceeds the Company's cost basis in the
contracts, costs of sale (primarily placement, rating agent, and legal and
accounting fees), and discounted excess spread cash flows (the Class B
Certificates and Transferor's Interests).

        The Company's costs basis in finance contracts sold has varied from
approximately 97.5% to 98.0% of the value of the Class A Certificates. This
portion of recognized gain on sale will vary based on the Company's cost of
insurance covering the finance contracts and the discount obtained upon
acquisition of the finance contracts.

        Further, the excess spread component of recognized gain is affected by
various factors, including most significantly, the coupon on the Class A
Certificates and the age of the finance contracts in the pool, as the excess
spread cashflow from a pool of aged, as opposed to new, finance contracts is
less. The aging (capture of excess spread prior to securitization) necessarily
results in less available excess spread cash flow from the securitization. The
Company believes that margins in the range of those previously recognized are
sustainable subject to adverse interest rate movements, availability of VSI
insurance at current rates and the Company's ability


                                       12

to continue purchasing finance contracts at approximately an 8.5% discount.

        The gain on sale of finance contracts is affected by the aggregate
principal balance of contracts securitized and the gross interest spread on
those contracts. The following table illustrates the gross interest spread for
each of the Company's securitizations:

        Servicing Fee Income. The Company earns substantially all of its
servicing fee income on the contracts it services on behalf of securitization
trusts. Servicing fee income consists of: (i) contractual servicing fees
received through securitizations, equal to $7.00 per month per contract included
in each trust (excluding amounts paid to third-party servicers by the trust);
(ii) Transferor's Interest, reduced by the amortization of the excess servicing
receivable; and (iii) fee income earned as servicer for such items as late
charges and documentation fees, which are earned whether or not a securitization
has occurred.

        The Company's third quarter securitization included $8,618,441 in
aggregate principal amount of finance contracts purchased by the Company from
Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. ("GCFP"), pursuant to a loan sale
agreement among the Company, GCFP and First Fidelity Acceptance Corp. ("FFAC"),
the originator of the finance contracts. The Company reunderwrote the finance
contracts, paid premiums under the VSI Policy, and will service the finance
contracts. In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company has purchased
approximately $6.5 million of additional finance contracts from GCFP and FFAC
under the loan sale agreement. The Company acquired 1,469 finance contracts from
dealers, totalling $16,916,971 in aggregate principal amount, during the third
quarter of 1996, compared with 2,856 finance contracts acquired from dealers,
totalling $33,358,000, during the first six months of 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               Period-to-period comparisons of operating results may not be
meaningful, and results of operations from prior periods may not be indicative
of future results. Comparisons of the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996 may not be meaningful as there were no
securitization transactions, and only a small whole-loan sale transaction,
during the first nine months of 1995. The following discussion and analysis
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Notes thereto.

TOTAL REVENUES

               Total revenues increased to $3.8 million and $10.2 million,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 from
$394,553 and $954,228 for the comparable periods ended September 30, 1995, due
to gains and servicing income from securitization transactions, offset slightly
by decreases in net interest income.

               NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income decreased to ($69,258)
and $263,574, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 from $348,554 and $765,982 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995. The decrease in net interest income was due to an increase in overall
net borrowing costs and fees associated with Revolving Credit Facilities and the
sale of finance contracts in 1996 pursuant to securitizations.

               GAIN ON SALE OF FINANCE CONTRACTS. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996, gain on sale of finance contracts amounted to $3.7
million and $9.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30,
1996, the Company completed three securitizations aggregating approximately
$56.7 million in principal amount of finance contracts and the gain on sale of
finance contracts accounted for 92.7% of total revenues. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, there were no securitization transactions and only a
small whole-loan sale.

               SERVICING FEE INCOME. The Company reports servicing fee income
only with respect to finance contracts that are transferred to a securitization
trust. In the nine months ended September 30, 1996, servicing fee income was
$474,805, of which $304,487 was collection agent fees and $170,318 arose from
excess spread cash flows net of amortization of the excess servicing receivable.
Servicing fee income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $197,597.
The Company had completed no securitizations and only a small whole-loan sale as
of September 30, 1995 and reported no servicing fee income through such date.

TOTAL EXPENSES

               Total expenses were $1.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, compared with $1.0 for the comparable 1995 period. Total
expenses of the Company increased $2.9 million to $5.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from $2.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. Although operating expenses increased during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, the Company's finance contract portfolio grew at a
faster rate than the rate of increase in operating expenses. As a result, total

                                       15



<PAGE>

<PAGE>


expenses as a percentage of total principal balance of finance contracts
acquired in the period decreased to 9.3% in the nine months ended September 30,
1996 from 12.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

               The overall increases in expenses for the 1996 nine month period
was due to increased salary expense and operational expenses due to growth in
finance contract acquisition volume.

NET INCOME

               In the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, net income
increased to $1.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, from losses of
$637,519 and $1.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995. The increase was attributable to the three securitization
transactions completed in the first nine months of 1996, while there were no
securitization transactions and only one small whole-loan sale during the first
nine months of 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

        FINANCE CONTRACTS HELD FOR SALE, NET. The number and principal balance
of contracts held for sale are largely dependent upon the timing and size of the
Company's securitizations. The Company plans to securitize contracts on a
regular quarterly basis.

        TRUST RECEIVABLE. At the time a securitization closes, the Company's
securitization subsidiary is required to fund a cash reserve account within the
trust to provide additional credit support for the senior trust certificates.
Additionally, depending on the structure of the securitization, a portion of the
future excess spread cash flows from the trust is required to be deposited in
the cash reserve account to increase the initial deposit to a specified level.
Amounts on deposit in cash reserve accounts are also reflected as advances to
the relevant trust under the item "Cash flows from investing activities" in the
Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. The initial cash reserve
deposits for the December, 1995, March 1996, June 1996 and September 1996
securitizations were $525,220, $331.267, $356,658 and $445,934, respectively,
equivalent to 2% of the initial principal amount of the senior trust
certificates. A portion of excess spread cash flows will increase such reserves
until they reach 6% (or higher if certain delinquency or net loss ratios are
reached).

       EXCESS SERVICING RECEIVABLE. The following table provides historical data
regarding the excess servicing receivable:

     the underlying  vehicle is repossessed,  the borrower is in bankruptcy,  or

CREDIT LOSS EXPERIENCE

        An allowance for credit losses is maintained for all contracts held for
sale. The Company reports a provision for credit losses on finance contracts
held for sale. Management evaluates the reasonableness of the assumptions
employed by reviewing credit loss experience, delinquencies, repossession
trends, the size of the finance contract portfolio and general economic
conditions and trends. If necessary, assumptions will be changed in the future
to reflect historical experience to the extent it deviates materially from that
which was assumed. Since inception, the Company's assumptions have been
consistent and are adequate based upon actual experience. Accordingly, no
additional charges to earnings to date have been necessary to accommodate more
adverse experience than anticipated.

        If a delinquency exists and a default is deemed inevitable or the
collateral is in jeopardy, and in no event later than the 90th day of
delinquency, the Company's Collections Department will initiate the repossession
of the financed vehicle. Bonded, insured outside repossession agencies are used
to secure involuntary

repossessions.  In most  jurisdictions,  notice to the borrower of the Company's
intention to sell the  repossessed  vehicle is required,  whereupon the borrower
may exercise certain rights to cure his or her default or redeem the automobile.
Following the expiration of the legally required notice period,  the repossessed
vehicle  is sold at a  wholesale  auto  auction  (or in  limited  circumstances,
through  dealers),  usually  within  60 days of the  repossession.  The  Company
closely  monitors the  condition  of vehicles  set for auction,  and procures an
appraisal under the VSI Policy prior to sale.  Liquidation  proceeds are applied
to the borrower's  outstanding  obligation  under the finance  contract and loss
deficiency claims under the VSI Policy and Credit  Endorsement  thereto are then
filed.  The physical  damage and loss  provisions of the VSI Policy insures each
financed  vehicle  against losses relating to (i) physical damage to repossessed
vehicles, (ii) failure to file or record necessary instruments or documents, and
(iii) loss or confiscation of the vehicle. Generally the amount of coverage will
not exceed (i) the vehicle's replacement value, (ii) its cash value less salvage
value,  (iii) the unpaid  Finance  Contract  balance,  (iv)  $40,000 per vehicle
($25,000 per  occurrence  for  repossessed  vehicles),  or (v) the lesser of the
amounts  under  clauses  (i)-(iv)  above less other  insurance  coverage  on the
vehicle.  The Company also obtained credit  deficiency  balance coverage through
the Credit  Default  Endorsement  of the VSI Policy.  The Company will  consider
alternative   methods  of  credit   enhancement   for  its   portfolio   or  its
securitizations depending upon market conditions.

        Because of the Company's limited operating history, its finance contract
portfolio is somewhat unseasoned. Accordingly, delinquency and charge-off rates
in the portfolio may not fully reflect the rates that may apply when the average
holding period for finance contracts in the portfolio is longer. Increases in
the delinquency and/or charge-off rates in the portfolio would adversely affect
the Company's ability to obtain credit or securitize its receivables.

REPOSSESSION EXPERIENCE - STATIC POOL ANALYSIS

        Because the Company's finance contract portfolio is continuing to grow
rapidly, management does not manage delinquency or losses on the basis of a
percentage of the Company's finance contract portfolio, because percentages can
be favorably affected by large balances of recently acquired finance contracts.
Management monitors actual data on a 'static pool" basis.

        The following table provides static repossession frequency analysis of
the Company's portfolio performance from inception through September 30, 1996.
In this table, all finance contracts have been segregated by quarter of
acquisition. All repossessions have been segregated by the quarter in which the
repossessed contract was originally acquired by the Company. Cumulative
repossessions equals the ratio of repossessions as a percentage of finance
contracts acquired for each


                                       18



<PAGE>

<PAGE>

segregated quarter.  Annualized repossessions equals an annual equivalent of the
cumulative  repossession ratio for each segregated quarter.  This table provides
information  regarding  the Company's  repossession  experience  over time.  For
example,  recently acquired finance contracts demonstrate very few repossessions
because properly  underwritten finance contracts to subprime consumers generally
do not default during the initial term of the contract.  After approximately one
year of seasoning,  frequency of  repossessions on an annualized basis appear to
reach a plateau.  Based on industry statistics and the performance experience of
the Company's  finance  contract  portfolio,  the Company  believes that finance
contracts   seasoned  in  excess  of  approximately  18  months  will  start  to
demonstrate declining repossession frequency.

(1) For each quarter, cumulative repossession frequency equals the number of
    repossessions divided by contracts acquired.

(2) Annualized repossession frequency converts cumulative repossession frequency
    into an annual equivalent (e.g., for Q4 1994, 35 repossessions divided by
    193 contracts acquired, divided by 8 quarters outstanding times four equals
    an annualized repossession frequency of 9.07%).

NET LOSS PER REPOSSESSION

        Upon initiation of the repossession process, it is the Company's intent
to complete the liquidation process as quickly as possible. The majority of
repossessed vehicles are sold at wholesale auction. The Company is responsible
for the costs of repossession, transportation and storage. The Company's net
charge-off per repossession equals the unpaid balance less the auction proceeds
(net of associated costs) and less proceeds from insurance claims. The following
table demonstrates the net charge-off per repossessed automobile since
inception.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Since inception, the Company has primarily funded its operations and the
growth of its finance contract portfolio through seven principal sources of
capital: (i) cash flows from operating activities; (ii) funds provided from
borrower's payments received under finance contracts held for sale; (iii)
borrowings under various warehouse and working capital facilities; (iv) proceeds
from securitization transactions; (v) cash flows from servicing fees; (vi)
proceeds from the issuances of subordinated debt and capital contributions of
principal shareholders; and (vii) proceeds from the Company's initial public
offering.

        Cash Flows. Significant cash flows related to the Company's operating
activities include the use of cash for purchases of finance contracts, and cash
provided by payments on finance contracts and sales of finance contracts. For
the year ended December 31, 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
$31.2 million and $57.7 million, respectively, was used by the Company to
purchase finance contracts, $2.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively, was
received as payments on finance contracts, and $27.4 million and $56.7 million,
respectively, was received from sales of finance contracts, primarily through
securitizations. The Company used $525,220 and $1,133,859 to fund cash reserve
accounts for the securitizations completed in the year ended December 31, 1995
and the nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.

                                       20



<PAGE>

<PAGE>


        Significant activities comprising cash flows from financing activities
include net repayments under revolving warehouse credit facilities ($904,355 for
the year ended December 31, 1995 and $1,150,421 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996) and net proceeds from borrowings against excess spread cash
flows ($2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $5.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996).

        Warehouse Credit Facilities. The Company obtains a substantial portion
of its working capital for the acquisition of finance contracts through
warehouse credit facilities. Under a warehouse facility, the lender generally
advances amounts requested by the borrower on a periodic basis, up to an
aggregate maximum credit limit for the facility, for the acquisition and
servicing of finance contracts or other similar assets. Until proceeds from a
securitization transaction are used to pay down outstanding advances, as
principal payments are received on the finance contracts, the principal amount
of the advances may be paid down incrementally or reinvested in additional
finance contracts on a revolving basis.

        At September 30, 1996, the Company had no borrowings under a $10.0
million revolving credit facility (the "Sentry Facility") with Sentry Financial
Corporation ("Sentry"), which expires on July 31, 1998. The proceeds from
borrowings under the Sentry Facility are used to acquire finance contracts, to
pay credit default insurance premiums and to make deposits to a reserve account
with Sentry. The Company pays a utilization fee of up to 0.21% per month on the
average outstanding balance under the Sentry Facility. The Sentry Facility also
requires the Company to pay up to 0.62% per quarter on the average unused
balance. Interest is payable monthly and accrues at a per annum rate of prime
plus 1.75% (which was approximately 10.0% at September 30, 1996).


        The Sentry Facility contains certain conditions and imposes certain
requirements, including, among other things, minimum net worth and cash and cash
equivalent balances in the reserve accounts. In April 1996, the Company agreed
to pay a one-time commitment fee of $700,000 to Sentry.

        On May 22, 1996, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary
AutoBond Funding Corporation II, entered into a $20.0 million warehouse facility
(the "Providian Facility") with Peoples Security Life Insurance Company (an
affiliate of Providian Capital Management). The proceeds from the borrowings
under the Providian Facility have been used to acquire finance contracts, to pay
credit default insurance premiums and to make deposits to a reserve account.
Interest is payable monthly at a per annum rate of LIBOR plus 2.60% with a
maximum rate of 11.0% and a minimum rate of 7.60%. The Providian Facility also
requires the Company to

                                       21



<PAGE>

<PAGE>


pay a monthly  fee on the average  unused  balance at a per annum rate of 0.25%.
Borrowings  under  the  Providian  Facility  are  rated  investment-grade  by  a
nationally  recognized  statistical rating organization.  The Providian Facility
contains  certain  covenants  and  representations   similar  to  those  in  the
agreements governing the Company's existing securitizations.

        Discussions are currently being held to extend the Providian Facility,
which matures on December 27, 1996. Although failure to significantly extend the
Providian Facility would leave the Company with only one long-term warehouse
facility, management believes that the Company's expected ability to achieve
investment grade ratings for similarly structured warehouses should allow the
Company to obtain additional warehouse financing on acceptable terms.

        Securitization Program. In its securitization transactions, the Company
sells pools of finance contracts to a special purpose subsidiary, which then
sells the finance contracts to a trust in exchange for cash and certain retained
beneficial interests in future excess spread cash flows. The trust issues two
classes of fixed income investor certificates: "Class A Certificates," which are
sold to investors, generally at par with a fixed coupon, and subordinated excess
spread certificates ("Class B Certificates"), representing a senior interest in
excess spread cash flows from the finance contracts, which are typically
retained by the Company's securitization subsidiary and which collateralize
borrowings on a nonrecourse basis. The Company also funds a cash reserve account
that provides credit support to the Class A Certificates. The Company's
securitization subsidiaries also retain a "Transferor's Interest" in the
contracts that is subordinate to the interest of the investor
certificateholders. The retained interests entitle the Company to receive the
future cash flows from the trust after payment to investors, absorption of
losses, if any, that arise from defaults on the transferred finance contracts
and payment of the other expenses and obligations of the trust.

        Securitization transactions impact the Company's liquidity primarily in
two ways. First, the application of proceeds toward payment makes additional
borrowing available, to the extent of such proceeds, under those facilities for
the acquisition of additional finance contracts. In December 1995, March 1996,
June 1996 and September 1996 the Company securitized approximately $26.2
million, $16.6 million, $17.8 million and $22.3 million, respectively, in
nominal principal amount of finance contracts and used the net proceedsd to pay
down borrowings under its warehouse credit facilities. Second, additional
working capital is obtained through the Company's practice of borrowing funds,
on a non-recourse basis, collateralized by its interest in future excess spread
cash flows from its securitization trusts. At September 30, 1996, the Company
held excess servicing receivables and Class B Certificates totalling $10.7
million, substantially all of which had been pledged to secure notes payable of
$8.0 million.


                                       22

        Subordinated Debt. The Company issued subordinated debt in the principal
amount of $300,000 to an individual investor pursuant to a subordinated note
dated as of March 12, 1996. The subordinated note has a final maturity date of
March 12, 1997 and provides for payment of interest at a per annum rate of 10.0%
and includes a warrant to purchase 18,811 shares Common Stock at a price of
$0.53 per share.

        Initial Public Offering. On November 14, 1996, the Company completed the
initial public offering of its Common Stock. The closing comprised 825,000
shares sold by the Company (including 75,000 shares issued pursuant to the
exercise of the underwriters) overallotment option) and 250,000 shares sold by
the Selling Shareholders. With a price to public of $10 per share and an
underwriting discount at $.70 per share, the Company received gross proceeds of
$7,725,000 from the offering, from which it expects to pay offering expenses of
$1.4 million. The net proceeds are being utilized for working capital, debt
repayment of $300,000 and investment in finance contracts, including
approximately $6.2 million in principal amount acquired from First Fidelity
Acceptance Corporation for inclusion in the Company's fourth quarter
securitization.

        The warehouse facilities provide the short-term cash needed to
accumulate loan pools for securitizations. Under the Company's practice of
borrowing funds, on a non-recourse basis, collateralized by its interest in
future excess spread cash flows, working capital is thereby provided for the
cashflow needs of the Company. The structure of the excess spread cashfiow and
related note payable provides for self-amortization of such debt. The Company's
excess spread cashflow projections indicate that the excess spread cashflows
will be sufficient to retire the related debt within approximately 30 months of
its incurrence. Cash from the excess spread retained by the Company is received
monthly, commencing immediately upon completion of the securitization
transaction. Interest and principal payments are made first to the Class A
Certificateholders, then Trust operating expenses are paid. Excess cashflow,
comprised of interest and fees from the loans reduced by interest on Class A
Certificates and trust operating expenses, is then distributed in two manners.
If the cash reserve account is less than the required amount, 35% of the excess
cashflow is retained in the trust to build the cash reserves until required
levels are met. The remaining 65% of excess spread cashflow is utilized to first
pay down any non-recourse borrowing in full, and then distributed to the Company
for operating purposes. The final cash flows for each transaction should be
released at the expected maturity of 72 months.

        The Company has entered into a commitment with a private investment
management company for financing collateralized by the senior excess spread
interests to be created in each of the Company's securitization transactions
through

                                       23



<PAGE>

<PAGE>



September  1997.  Timing and amount of payments of interest and principal on the
loans will correspond to  distributions  from the  securitization  trusts on the
Class B  Certificates.  The  interest  rate on such loans will be 15% per annum,
payable  monthly.  The  commitment  also provides that the Class B  Certificates
evidencing  the  interests in such senior excess spread cash flows be rated "BB"
by Fitch.

        The Company expects that the proceeds of the Company's initial public
offering, proceeds from finance contracts, securitization proceeds and
borrowings under its warehouse facilities will be sufficient to fund expansion
of the Company's business through the end of 1997. The Company has no specific
plans or arrangements for additional equity financings, due to the liquidity
provided securitizations and financings of excess spread cash flows. The Company
believes it will be able to obtain additional funding through an increase in the
maximum amount available for borrowings under its warehouse facilities and
through securitizations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company
will be able to obtain such additional funding.
