<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Black-Scholes option-pricing
model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no
vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input
of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company&#146;s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different
from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate, in management&#146;s opinion, the existing
models do not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock
options. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B><I>New Accounting
Pronouncements</I></B> <BR>
In December 2003, the AICPA issued
Statement of Position 03-03 (&#147;SOP 03-03&#148;), &#147;Accounting for Certain Debt
Securities Acquired in a Transfer.&#148; SOP 03-03 addresses accounting for differences
between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an
investor&#146;s initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a
transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. This
SOP limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the
investor&#146;s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash
flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor&#146;s
initial investment in the loan. This SOP requires that the excess of contractual cash
flows over cash flows expected to be collected (nonaccretable difference) not be
recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual, or valuation allowance. This SOP
prohibits investors from displaying accretable yield and nonaccretable difference in the
balance sheet. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally will
be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan&#146;s yield over its remaining
life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected will be recognized as an impairment
of the loan. SOP 03-03 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004, and
accordingly, the Company expects to adopt the provisions of this SOP in the first quarter
of 2005. The Company does not believe that the implementation of SOP 03-03 will have a
material effect on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

recovery method&#148; of accounting in accordance with the provisions of the AICPA&#146;s
Practice Bulletin 6, &#147;Amortization of Discounts on Certain Acquired Loans.&#148;
Static pools are established with accounts having similar attributes, based on the
specific seller and timing of acquisition. Once a static pool is established, the
receivables are permanently assigned to the pool. The discount (i.e., the difference
between the cost of each static pool and the related aggregate contractual receivable
balance) is not recorded because the Company expects to collect a relatively small
percentage of each static pool&#146;s contractual receivable balance. As a result,
receivables portfolios are recorded at cost at the time of acquisition. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company accounts for each static
pool as a unit for the economic life of the pool (similar to one loan) for recognition of
revenue from receivables portfolios, for collections applied to principal of receivables
portfolios and for provision for loss or impairment. Revenue from receivables portfolios
is accrued based on each pool&#146;s effective interest rate applied to each pool&#146;s
adjusted cost basis. The cost basis of each pool is increased for revenue earned and
decreased for principal pay downs and impairments. The effective interest rate is the
internal rate of return as derived from the timing and amounts of actual cash received and
anticipated future cash flow projections for each pool. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company monitors and evaluates
actual and projected cash flows for each receivable portfolio on a quarterly basis.
Through September 30, 2003, the Company had not increased the total estimated cash flows
for any receivable portfolio. As a result, for those portfolios whose actual cumulative
collections exceeded the forecast, such excess amounts were subtracted from the future
estimated collections in order to maintain the original forecast. The Company has, on the
other hand, reduced the total estimated cash flows on certain receivable portfolios where
actual cumulative collections to date have not met the forecast. If the remaining
forecasted cash flows are in excess of the remaining carrying value, the effective
interest is reduced prospectively. If the remaining forecasted cash flows are less than
the remaining carrying value, the receivable portfolio is impaired and all of the
remaining collections are subsequently applied against book value. An impairment charge is
taken for the difference between the carrying value and the remaining forecasted cash flow
amount. Additionally, if the amount and timing of future cash collections are not
reasonably estimable, the Company accounts for these portfolios on the cost recovery
method (&#147;Cost Recovery Portfolios&#148;). No revenue is accreted on Cost Recovery
Portfolios. All collections are applied 100% to recover the remaining cost basis of the
portfolio and thereafter are recognized as revenue. During the second quarter of 2004, the
Company moved four portfolios with an aggregate carrying value of $1.0 million at June 30,
2004 from cost recovery to the accretion method. At June 30, 2004, one portfolio with a
remaining carrying value of $40 thousand was accounted for using the cost recovery method
by the Company. No provision for impairment losses was recorded during the six months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On purchases made since mid-2000, the
Company&#146;s gross collections, in the aggregate, have exceeded expectations. The
Company has developed the statistical support to assist it in determining whether the
better than expected performance resulted from: (i) the Company collecting at a more rapid
rate than originally forecast; (ii) the Company increasing its penetration of the
portfolio and thus increasing the likelihood of collecting more than the original
forecast; or (iii) some combination of both faster collections and additional penetration
of the portfolio. Effective October 1, 2003, the Company implemented its recently
developed Unified Collection Score (&#147;UCS&#148;) model to project these remaining cash
flows, considering known data about the Company&#146;s customers&#146; accounts,
including, among other things, the Company&#146;s collection experience, and changes in
external customer factors, in addition to all data known when it acquired the accounts.
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company implemented three additional statistical
enhancements in the UCS model. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During the first quarter of 2004, the
Company revised the projected collections for 80 portfolios with carrying values totaling
$62.3 million, which represented 69.9% of the aggregate carrying value of its portfolios
at that date. The change in the estimate of projected collections resulting from the
application of the UCS model resulted in an increase in the aggregate total estimated
remaining collections for the reforecasted portfolios by 46.4% as of March 31, 2004. The
implementation of these revised forecasts resulted in an increase in the recognition of
accretion revenue of $5.3 million and an increase in the accrual for contingent interest
of $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2004. The net impact of the change in estimate
was to increase first quarter pretax income by $3.5 million, net income by $2.1 million
and fully diluted earnings per share by $0.09. The reforecast of collections resulted in
expanding the budget life of these portfolios by an average of 6 months from an average
remaining life of 36 months to a revised average remaining life of 42 months. The
resulting ratio of revenues to collections for accruing portfolios for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004 increased 10.8% to 60.8% as a result of this adjustment. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During the second quarter of 2004,
the Company revised the projected collections for 78 portfolios with carrying values
totaling $48.7 million, which represented 53.2% of the aggregate carrying value of its
portfolios at that date. The change in the estimate of projected collections resulting
from the application of the UCS model resulted in an increase in the aggregate total
estimated remaining collections for the reforecasted portfolios by 17.2% as of June 30,
2004. The implementation of these revised forecasts resulted in a current quarter increase
in the recognition of accretion revenue of $3.0 million and an increase in the accrual for
contingent interest of $0.9 million. The net impact of the change in estimate was to
increase second quarter pretax income by $2.1 million, net income by $1.2 million and
fully diluted earnings per share by $0.05. The reforecast of collections resulted in
expanding the budget life of the reforecasted portfolios by an average of 4 months from an
average remaining life of 37 months to a revised average remaining life of 41 months. The
resulting ratio of revenues to collections for accruing portfolios for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004 increased 6.7 percentage points to 70.2% as a result of this adjustment. </FONT></P>

effective interest rate for receivable portfolios on the accretion method was 146.0% for
the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 158.9% for the six months ended June 30,
2003. For accrual basis portfolios, the weighted average annualized effective interest
rate is the accrual rate utilized in recognizing revenue on our accrual basis portfolios.
This rate represents the monthly internal rate of return, which has been annualized
utilizing the simple interest method. The monthly internal rate of return is derived from
the timing and amounts of actual cash received and the anticipated future cash flow
projections for each pool. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During the first quarter of 2004, the
Company discontinued its rewrite program, released or reassigned the eight employees
involved in the processing of rewrites, and sold the portfolio of rewritten notes. Our
rewrite program offered debtors the ability to settle their obligation by paying a certain
percentage of the amount due and executing a new &#147;rewritten&#148; note for the
remaining negotiated balance. The notes, which were related to accounts throughout the
Company&#146;s portfolios, were sold for $4.0 million. The cash proceeds of $2.9 million
from accruing portfolios and $1.1 million from zero basis portfolios were treated as
additional portfolio collections for revenue recognition purposes. This is consistent with
the Company&#146;s historical accounting for collections from the rewritten notes. </FONT></P>

In March of 1999, and January of
2000, the Company entered into two securitized receivable acquisition facilities through
two bankruptcy remote, special purpose subsidiaries, Midland Funding 98-A Corporation and
Midland Receivables 99-1 Corporation, respectively. Midland Funding 98-A Corporation
entered into a $35.0 million facility (the &#147;Warehouse Facility&#148;), structured as
a term loan bearing interest at 1.17% plus the one-week London Interbank Offered Rate
(&#147;LIBOR&#148;). Midland Receivables 99-1 Corporation issued securitized non-recourse
notes in the amount of $28.9 million (&#147;Securitization 99-1&#148;), bearing interest
at 10% per annum. The Warehouse Facility and Securitization 99-1 were collateralized and
cross-collateralized by certain charged-off receivables and were insured through a
financial guaranty insurance policy. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On April 15, 2003, all obligations
related to the Warehouse Facility and Securitization 99-1 were repaid in full. This
included payment of the debt balances of $5.0 million and $4.6 million for the Warehouse
Facility and Securitization 99-1, respectively, and the combined deferred insurance
premiums of $1.9 million. The funds to repay these liabilities came from the Litigation
Settlement (see Note 3), funds held in related reserve accounts and other internal cash
sources. Since the payment in full of all obligations related to the Warehouse Facility
and Securitization 99-1, the Company receives 100% of collections from the related
portfolios. </FONT></P>

On September 11, 2000, Midland
Receivables 98-1 Corporation, a bankruptcy-remote, special-purpose subsidiary of Midland
Credit, repaid non-recourse notes originally issued in the principal amount of $33.0
million in 1998. In connection with this securitization transaction, the Company recorded
an Investment in Retained Interest in securitized receivables (the &#147;Retained
Interest&#148;). The Investment in Retained Interest was originally recorded at fair
value, with the difference between fair value and cost basis recorded as unrealized gain
and included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of
stockholders&#146; equity. In September 2000, the note holders were fully repaid and the
Company&#146;s interest from that point forward represented a 100% interest in the
underlying portfolios. The Company accounts for its Investment in Retained Interest in the
same manner as it accounts for its investment in portfolio receivables (see Note 4). </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During the first quarter of 2003, the
Company lowered its expected yield on the Investment in Retained Interest from an annual
return of approximately 44.4% to 7.5% based on estimated net cash flows derived from both
historical and projected collections. The accreted revenue recognized on the Investment in
Retained Interest was $16 thousand and $214 thousand for the six months ended June 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In the second quarter of 2004, the
Company&#146;s Investment in Retained Interest was fully recovered and all collections
from that point forward have been recorded entirely as revenue. This Zero Basis Revenue
amounted to $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B><I>Secured Financing Facility</I></B><BR>
On December 20, 2000, MRC Receivables
Corporation, a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote, special-purpose entity, entered into a
$75.0 million secured financing facility (the &#147;Secured Financing Facility&#148;),
which expires on December 31, 2004. The Secured Financing Facility generally provides for
a 90.0% advance rate with respect to each qualified receivable portfolio purchased.
Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 3.0% per annum and is payable weekly. The interest
rate reduces by 1.0% on outstanding amounts in excess of $25.0 million. Notes to be issued
under the facility are collateralized by the charged-off receivables that are purchased
with the proceeds from this financing arrangement. Each note has a maturity date not to
exceed 27 months after the borrowing date. Once the notes are repaid and the Company has
been repaid its investment, the Company and the lender share the residual cash flows from
the receivable portfolios, net of servicing fees. The sharing in residual cash flows
continues for the entire economic life of the receivable portfolios financed using this
facility, and will extend substantially beyond the expiration date of the Secured
Financing Facility, which is December 31, 2004. New advances for portfolio purchases under
the Secured Financing Facility would not be available beyond the December 31, 2004
expiration date. The Company is required to give the lender the opportunity to fund all of
its purchases of charged-off credit card receivables with advances on the Secured
Financing Facility through December 31, 2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>From the inception of the Secured
Financing Facility through June 30, 2004, the Company had purchased through this facility
charged-off receivable portfolios with a face value of $7.7 billion at a purchase price of
approximately $204.5 million ($183.4 million of which was financed through this facility)
or an average cost of 2.7% of face value. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and
2003, the Company recorded $17.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, in contingent
interest expense relating to the residual cash flow sharing agreement. Contingent interest
expense is based on actual and forecasted residual collections for portfolios financed
through the Secured Financing Facility. The estimated contingent interest expense during
the life of any particular portfolio is recorded as a percent of the total estimated
revenue earned from that portfolio. The total contingent interest expense as a percent of
the revenues for all portfolios financed under the Secured Financing Facility amounted to
23.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 14.6% for the six months ended June 30,
2003. When the total interest expense, including contingent interest, is compared to the
average outstanding loan balances of $31.0 million and $28.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, the weighted average effective interest rates
amount to 116.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 56.6% for the six
months ended June 30, 2003. Total cash payments made related to the contingent interest
were $11.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004, and $7.1 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2003. </FONT></P>

On July 25, 2003, through NCC-1, a
wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote, special-purpose entity, the Company entered into a $1.8
million secured financing arrangement (the &#147;Secured Financing&#148;). This financing
was repaid in full on June 30, 2004. The Secured Financing provided for a 75.0% advance
rate with respect to four purchased receivables portfolios of charged-off unsecured
consumer loans and auto loan deficiencies. Interest accrued at 15.0% and was payable
weekly. This note had a maturity date not to exceed October 25, 2005. This financing
arrangement did not require the Company to share residual collections with the lender. </FONT></P>

On October 1, 2003, the Company

the amount of $0.3 million with a term of 36 months. This note is secured by the

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B><I>Revolving Credit Facility</I></B><BR>
On June 30, 2004, the Company entered
into a $75.0 million, three-year revolving credit facility (the &#147;Revolving Credit
Facility&#148;) to be utilized for the purposes of purchasing portfolio receivables and
for working capital needs. Interest rates on borrowings under this facility will, at the
Company&#146;s option, be at the lender&#146;s prime rate or at Eurodollar plus a current
margin of 2.50%. The applicable margin will be adjusted quarterly based on a pricing grid
which takes into account certain financial covenants related to the Company&#146;s
consolidated financial condition and results of operations. The Revolving Credit Facility
provides for an 85.0% initial advance rate with respect to each qualified receivables
portfolio purchased. The balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility must not
exceed an amount determined under a &#147;Borrowing Base&#148; formula. First, the
eligible borrowing base of each portfolio financed under this facility is calculated by
applying a three percentage point reduction to the 85% initial advance rate each month,
commencing after the first three complete months. The aggregate Borrowing Base is the sum
of all of the borrowing bases of all portfolios financed under this facility. The
Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a security interest in all assets of the Company,
except for those assets in which the Secured Financing Facility lender has a first
priority security interest. This financing arrangement does not require the Company to
share residual collections with the lender. Draws on the Revolving Credit Facility for
portfolio purchases during the third and fourth quarters of 2004 will be limited to
non-credit card portfolios, and upon expiration of the Company&#146;s Secured Financing
Facility on December 31, 2004, will be available to fund all types of portfolio purchases,
including credit card receivables. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a $5.0
million letter of credit sub-facility and requires, under certain circumstances, permanent
reductions in the outstanding balance and overall availability of the facility. The
Revolving Credit Facility may be repaid without penalty. The Revolving Credit Facility
contains substantial restrictive financial covenants, including but not limited to,
financial ratios and limitations on acquisitions, dispositions, merger, dissolution,
indebtedness and capital expenditures. There was no outstanding balance as of June 30,
2004 (see Note 11). </FONT></P>

provision of $7.7 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The

provision for Federal income taxes of 31.9% (which is net of a benefit for state taxes of
3.1%), a provision for state taxes of 8.8%, the effect of permanent book versus tax

The Fair Debt Collection Practices
Act (&#147;FDCPA&#148;) and comparable state statutes may result in class action lawsuits,
which can be material to the Company&#146;s business due to the remedies available under
these statutes, including punitive damages. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On December 5, 2003, the Company was
served with a complaint filed on May 16, 2003 by plaintiff Paul Michael Cox in the
Superior Court for the County of San Diego, California against its wholly owned
subsidiaries Midland Acquisition Corporation (&#147;MAC&#148;) and Midland Credit
Management, Inc. (&#147;Midland&#148;). The plaintiff seeks to enforce against MAC and
Midland a $2.2 million default judgment obtained in another state against an unrelated company. The action against the unrelated company was
filed several months after MAC had acquired that company&#146;s operating assets in an
arms&#150;length transaction. The plaintiff alleges that MAC and Midland are liable for the judgment on the theory of successor corporation liability.
The Company believes the claims are without merit and will vigorously defend the action.
The Company has answered the complaint and discovery is ongoing. The plaintiff has filed a
motion for summary judgment, which the Company has opposed. The plaintiff&#146;s motion is
pending. The Company has not recorded any accrual for contingent liability associated with
this matter based on the Company&#146;s belief that a liability, while possible, is not probable
and the range of loss includes the possibility of no liability. Although the outcome of
this matter cannot be predicted with certainty and may be disposed of unfavorably to the
Company, based on currently available information, including legal defenses available to
the Company, management does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse
effect on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial position or results of operations. </FONT></P>

as operating leases, and the Company incurred related rent expense in the amounts of $0.5
million and $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
On April 8, 2004, the Company entered into an office lease for approximately 51,000 square
feet to house the corporate headquarters and its San Diego call center. The new facility,
which replaces the existing facility, has a triple net lease that is scheduled to commence
in October 2004, has an initial term of 10.5 years with two renewable 5-year options at
approximately fair market value, and provides for escalating monthly payments ranging from
$62,900 to $94,500. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company leases certain property
and equipment through capital leases. These long-term leases are non-cancelable and expire
on varying dates through 2008. The cost of assets under capital leases was $1.3 million at
June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The related accumulated amortization as of June 30,
2004 and December 31, 2003 was $0.9 million and $0.8 million respectively. Amortization of

up to a maximum percentage of compensation, as specified in Internal Revenue Code
limitations. The Company may match a percentage of employee contributions at its
discretion. Employer matching contributions and administrative costs relating to the Plan
totaled $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. </FONT></P>

30, 2004, the plan assets and plan liabilities were each $2.2 million. As of December 31,
2003, the plan assets and plan liabilities were each $1.4 million. These amounts are
included in the Company&#146;s consolidated statement of financial condition in accrued

As an alternative to collection, the

provide the purchaser a right to put-back any purchased receivable that does not meet
certain criteria, as defined. The Company has not provided a reserve for put-backs as of

return all exhausted receivables to the owner of the portfolios; however, it retained the
servicing rights for certain receivables in active work queues and those placed with its

charged-off receivables from the seller/originator on a periodic basis at a set price over
a specified time period. The agreement is cancelable by either party upon 60 days written
notice without penalty. Forward flow agreements provide the seller certainty on the
portfolio pricing and volume of receivables for sale, and likewise provide the buyer with
certainty on portfolio price and volume. The typical duration of a forward flow agreement
is six to twelve months. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In July of 2004, the Company
announced the largest portfolio purchase in its history from a new seller. The Company
paid $13.0 million for a portfolio with a face value of $421.0 million, at an average
purchase price of 3.1%. The portfolio contains 213,000 accounts. Eighty-four percent of
this portfolio consists of non-credit card accounts, similar to accounts that the Company
has been purchasing for over three years. This portion of the portfolio purchase was
financed utilizing the Company&#146;s new Revolving Credit Facility. The remaining 16% of
the portfolio, consisting of credit card accounts, was financed utilizing the
Company&#146;s Secured Financing Facility. The aggregate borrowings for the purchase of
this portfolio were $11.2 million, $9.3 million of which was drawn from the new Revolving
Credit Facility, and the remaining $1.9 million from the Secured Financing Facility. See
Note 7 for a discussion of these credit facilities. </FONT></P>

stockholders&#146; equity as of June 30, 2003. Our strong operating cash flow combined
with the net proceeds of $30.1 million from our follow-on public offering have resulted in
an unrestricted cash balance of $33.7 million dollars as of June 30, 2004 and have allowed
us to reduce our debt balances from $41.7 million as of June 30, 2003 to $27.3 million as
of June 30, 2004. This resulted in a debt to equity ratio of 0.33 to 1.00 as of June 30,
2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Our strong financial condition has
also allowed us to obtain a new $75.0 million Revolving Credit Facility at substantially
lower borrowing costs than our current $75.0 million Secured Financing Facility. The lower
costs reflect that the new facility does not require us to share residual collections on
the portfolios financed under this new facility, as well as a lower base rate. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The $10.8 million increase in gross
collections reflects the continued leveraging of our additional collection channels that
do not require a commensurate increase in the number of employees. Gross collections grew
by 23.0% while our workforce grew by 13.3% from the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared
to June 30, 2004. Our high collector retention rates coupled with our innovative
alternative collection strategies have resulted in an increase of 8.6% in monthly average
collections to $25,200 from $23,200 per average employee during the quarters ended June
30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our average monthly gross collections were $19.1 million
and $15.5 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, while
our total employees averaged 759 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 670 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The $10.8 million increase in gross
collections is derived primarily from new portfolios purchased since December of 2000
utilizing our Secured Financing Facility. Gross collections related to portfolios
utilizing our Secured Financing Facility were $48.2 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2004, compared to gross collections of $38.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003,
an increase of $9.4 million or 24.3%. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During the first quarter of 2004, we
discontinued our rewrite program, released or reassigned the eight employees involved in
the processing of rewrites, and sold our portfolio of rewritten notes. Our rewrite program
offered debtors the ability to settle their obligation by paying a certain percentage of
the amount due and executing a new &#147;rewritten&#148; note for the remaining negotiated
balance. These notes, which were related to accounts throughout our portfolios, were sold
for $4.0 million. The cash proceeds of $2.9 million from accrual basis portfolios and $1.1
million from Zero Basis Portfolios were treated as additional portfolio collections for
revenue recognition purposes. This is consistent with our historical accounting for
collections from the rewritten notes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B><I>Revenues</I></B><BR>
Total revenues for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004 were $43.6 million compared to $28.4 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2003, an increase of $15.2 million, or 53.5%. The increase is primarily from revenue from
receivable portfolios, which increased by $14.6 million or 52.2%, to $42.6 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $28.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.
Revenue from the retained interest in securitized receivables (the &#147;Retained
Interest&#148;) increased by $0.7 million, to $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2004 from $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. This reflects the recovery of
the remaining cost basis in April 2004, after which time subsequent gross collections
totaling $0.8 million were recorded entirely as Zero Basis Revenue. For those portfolios
on accrual basis, revenue as a percentage of gross collections increased to 70.2% during
the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 61.6% during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. For the
period of time from January 1, 2001 through June 30, 2004, revenue as a percentage of
gross collections for those portfolios on accrual basis was 63.4%. See Note 5 to the
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The increase in revenue from
receivable portfolios was partially offset by a decrease in servicing fees related to a
pool of receivables we service for a third party of $0.1 million or 49.1%, from $0.3
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 to $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2004. We receive these fees from servicing a pool of charged-off consumer accounts on
behalf of an unrelated third party. In February of 2003, we elected to return all
exhausted receivables to the owner. We have, however, retained the servicing rights for
those receivables remaining in active work queues and those placed with our attorney
network. As a result of this action, we anticipate that the stream of service fee income
related to these receivables will continue to diminish. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>For accrual basis portfolios, the
weighted average annualized effective interest rate is the accrual rate utilized in
recognizing revenue on our accrual basis portfolios. This rate represents the monthly
internal rate of return, which has been annualized utilizing the simple interest method.
The monthly internal rate of return is determined based on the timing and amounts of
actual cash received and the anticipated future cash flow projections for each pool. The
total owned portfolio revenue as an annualized percentage of our average aggregate
investment in receivable portfolios of 196.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compares

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE="2"><B><I>Estimates of Timing and Amount of
Collections. </I></B>We have made significant estimates with respect to the timing and amount of
collections of future cash flows from receivable portfolios owned and those underlying our
investment in the Retained Interest. It is our policy, every quarter, to evaluate each
portfolio&#146;s actual collections against the forecast. Through September 30, 2003, we
had not increased the total estimated cash flow for any portfolio; however, we had reduced
the total estimated remaining cash flow in certain circumstances. For those portfolios
whose actual cumulative collections exceeded the forecast, such excess amounts were
subtracted from the future estimated collections in order to maintain the original
forecast. Conversely, we reduced the remaining collection forecasts on those portfolios
that had not met our expectations for the six most recent months. </FONT> </P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On purchases made since mid-2000, our
gross collections, in the aggregate, have exceeded our expectations. We have developed the
statistical support to assist us in determining whether the better than expected
performance resulted from: (i) collecting the original amount of estimated collections at
a faster rate than originally forecast; (ii) increasing our penetration of the portfolio
and thus increasing the likelihood of collecting more than the original forecast; or (iii)
some combination of both faster collections and additional penetration of the portfolio.
Effective October 1, 2003, we implemented our Unified Collection Score (&#147;UCS&#148;)
model to project these remaining cash flows, considering known data about our
customers&#146; accounts, including, among other things, our collection experience, and
changes in external customer factors, in addition to all data known when we acquired the
accounts. We are continually evaluating and implementing statistical enhancements to our
UCS model. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During the second quarter of 2004,
the change in our estimate of projected collections resulting from the application of the
UCS model resulted in an increase in the aggregate total estimated remaining collections
for the reforecasted portfolios by 17.2% as of June 30, 2004. The implementation of these
revised forecasts resulted in a current quarter increase in the recognition of accretion
revenue of $3.0 million and an increase in the accrual for contingent interest of $0.9
million (see a discussion of contingent interest in Note 7 to the unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements). The net impact of the change in estimate was
to increase second quarter pretax income by $2.1 million, net income by $1.2 million and
fully diluted earnings per share by $0.05. The reforecast of collections resulted in
expanding the life of the reforecasted portfolios by an average of 4 months to a revised
average remaining life of 41 months, and hence, extended the expected stream of revenue
from these portfolios. </FONT></P>

million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $18.3 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $7.1 million or 39.0%. This increase is primarily
volume-related, driven by a 23.0% increase in gross collections. Operating expenses as a
percent of gross collections amounted to 44.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as
compared to 39.2% in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. </FONT></P>

25.0% to $11.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $9.5 million for the

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The increase in salaries and benefits
is the result of growth in our workforce and increased costs of employee benefits. The
average number of employees grew by 89 or 13.3% to 759 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004
from 670 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Our average compensation and benefits per
employee increased by 10.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 over the prior
year&#146;s second quarter. This increase is the result of a 5.5% increase in base
salaries; higher bonus expense due to our strong operating performance; and higher
healthcare costs. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Other operating expenses increased
approximately $1.6 million, or 61.5%, to $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004
from $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase during the quarter
ended June 30, 2004, reflects the implementation of a new channel to out source collections
to third party collection agencies; increases in the cost of direct mail campaigns, and
volume driven increases in skip tracing costs. During the second quarter of 2004 we paid
$0.9 million in commissions to third party collection agencies on gross collections
amounting to $2.6 million. We did not employ third party collection agencies during the
quarter ended June 30, 2003. The cost of direct mail campaigns increased 22.1% or $0.2
million to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2004 from the second quarter of 2003.
Skip tracing costs increased 58.2% or $0.2 million to $1.0 million in the second quarter
of 2004 from the second quarter of 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The cost of legal collections
decreased as a percent of gross collections through this channel from 42.4% to 38.5% from
the second quarter of 2003 to the same quarter in 2004. The cost of legal collections
reflects those costs associated with the business channel dedicated to collecting on
accounts that have been determined to have a high probability of collection, but which
require tactics other than telephone or mail solicitation. Gross collections through our
legal channel grew by 77.4% or $7.6 million, to $17.4 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2004 as compared to $9.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The cost of
legal collections amounted to $6.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared

$0.3 million increase in the provision for uncollectible court costs to $1.0 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $0.7 million for the prior year&#146;s
second quarter. The provision is based on our historical analysis of court costs that we
have advanced, recovered, and anticipate recovering. The reserve of $5.5 million on court
costs advanced of $7.5 million represents those costs that we believe will be ultimately
uncollectible as of June 30, 2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>General and administrative expenses
were $2.2 million and $1.5 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million or 39.9%,
as compared with the 23.0% increase in gross collections. The increase is primarily a
result of the increased costs of corporate compliance, which increased $0.5 million during
the second quarter of 2004 as compared to the second quarter of 2003 as a result of
significant increases in insurance expense, SEC reporting fees, legal fees, accounting
fees, internal audit costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and consulting fees. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Under the terms of the Secured
Financing Facility, once we repay the lender for the notes for each purchased portfolio
and collect sufficient amounts to recoup our initial cash investment in each purchased
portfolio, we share the residual collections from the receivables portfolios, net of our
servicing fees, with the lender. The amounts shared with the lender are known as
contingent interest. Based on our estimates with respect to the timing and amount of
collections of future cash flows from these receivables portfolios, we record a portion of
the estimated future profit sharing obligation as contingent interest expense. Certain
portfolios may continue to accrue the contingent interest after the debt is significantly
paid-down or paid-in-full and therefore the effective interest rates on the remaining
aggregate amount of debt outstanding under the Secured Financing Facility become very
high. See Notes 5 and 7 to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

We recorded an income tax provision

of $2.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The provision for income tax expense
reflects an effective rate of 40.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and an
effective rate of 40.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the three months
ended June 30, 2004, the effective tax rate consists primarily of a provision for Federal
income taxes of 31.9% (which is net of a benefit for state taxes of 3.1%), a provision for
state taxes of 8.8%, the effect of permanent book versus temporary tax differences, and
the reversal of the remaining reserve on deferred tax assets of 1.0%. For the three months
ended June 30, 2003, the effective tax rate consists primarily of a provision for Federal
income taxes of 32.0% (which is net of a benefit for state taxes of 2.0 %), a provision
for state taxes of 8.0%, and the effect of permanent book versus temporary tax
differences. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The $27.7 million increase in gross
collections reflects the continued leveraging of our additional collection channels that
do not require a commensurate increase in the number of employees. Gross collections grew
by 29.5% while our workforce grew by 14.5% from the six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to six months ended June 30, 2004. Our high collector retention rates coupled
with our innovative alternative collection strategies have resulted in an increase of
13.0% in monthly average collections to $27,216 from $24,082 per average employee during
the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our average monthly gross
collections were $20.2 million and $15.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004
and 2003, respectively, while our total employees averaged 743 for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 and 649 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The $27.7 million increase in gross
collections is derived primarily from new portfolios purchased since December of 2000
utilizing our Secured Financing Facility. Gross collections related to portfolios
utilizing our Secured Financing Facility were $103.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 2004, compared to gross collections of $75.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2003, an increase of $27.6 million or 36.3%. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During the first quarter of 2004, we
discontinued our rewrite program, released or reassigned the eight employees involved in
the processing of rewrites, and sold our portfolio of rewritten notes. Our rewrite program
offered debtors the ability to settle their obligation by paying a certain percentage of
the amount due and executing a new &#147;rewritten&#148; note for the remaining negotiated
balance. These notes, which were related to accounts throughout our portfolios, were sold
for $4.0 million. The cash proceeds of $2.9 million from accrual basis portfolios and $1.1
million from Zero Basis Portfolios were treated as additional portfolio collections for
revenue recognition purposes. This is consistent with our historical accounting for
collections from the rewritten notes. </FONT></P>

Total revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 were $86.0 million, compared to $56.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2003, an increase of $29.5 million, or 52.1%. The increase is primarily from
revenue from receivable portfolios, which increased by $29.4 million or 53.3%, to $84.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $55.3 million for the six month ended
June 30, 2003. Revenue from the Retained Interest increased by $0.6 million to $0.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $0.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2003. This reflects the recovery of the remaining cost basis in April 2004, after
which time, subsequent gross collections totaling $0.8 million were recorded entirely as
Zero Basis Revenue. For those portfolios on accrual basis, revenue as a percentage of
gross collections increased to 65.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 62.3%
during the six months ended June 30, 2003. For the period of time from January 1, 2001
through June 30, 2004, revenue as a percentage of gross collections for those portfolios
on accrual basis was 63.4%. See Note 5 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The increase in revenue from
receivable portfolios was partially offset by a $0.5 million or 56.8% decrease in
servicing fees related to a pool of receivables we service for a third party. Servicing
fees received under this arrangement were $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In February of 2003, we elected to return all
exhausted receivables to the owner. We have, however, retained the servicing rights for
those receivables remaining in active work queues and those placed with our attorney
network. As a result of this action, we anticipate that the stream of service fee income
related to these receivables will continue to diminish. </FONT></P>

from receivable portfolios for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the prior
year&#146;s six-month period ended June 30, 2003 is primarily attributable to new
portfolios purchased during intervening quarters. During the four quarters ended June 30,
2004, we purchased additional portfolios with a face value of $3.1 billion at a cost of
$81.0 million, or 2.6% of face value. The portfolios purchased during this period provided
$19.0 million of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE="2"><B><I>Estimates of Timing and Amount of Collections.
</I></B>We have made significant estimates with respect to the timing and amount of
collections of future cash flows from receivable portfolios owned and those underlying our
investment in the Retained Interest. It is our policy, every quarter, to evaluate each
portfolio&#146;s actual collections against the forecast. Through September 30, 2003, we
had not increased the total estimated cash flow for any portfolio; however, we had reduced
the total estimated remaining cash flow in certain circumstances. For those portfolios
whose actual cumulative collections exceeded the forecast, such excess amounts were
subtracted from the future estimated collections in order to maintain the original
forecast. Conversely, we reduced the remaining collection forecasts on those portfolios
that had not met our expectations for the six most recent months. </FONT> </P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On purchases made since mid-2000, our
gross collections, in the aggregate, have exceeded our expectations. We have developed the
statistical support to help us determine whether the better than expected performance
resulted from: (i) collecting the original amount of estimated collections at a faster
rate than originally forecast; (ii) increasing our penetration of the portfolio and thus
increasing the likelihood of collecting more than the original forecast; or (iii) some
combination of both faster collections and additional penetration of the portfolio.
Effective October 1, 2003, we implemented our Unified Collection Score (&#147;UCS&#148;)
model to project these remaining cash flows, considering known data about our
customers&#146; accounts, including, among other things, our collection experience, and
changes in external customer factors, in addition to all data known when we acquired the
accounts. We are continually evaluating and implementing statistical enhancement to our
UCS model. </FONT></P>





<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During the first quarter of 2004, the
change in the estimate of projected collections resulting from the application of the UCS
model resulted in an increase in the aggregate total estimated remaining collections for
the reforecasted portfolios by 46.4% as of March 31, 2004. The implementation of these
revised forecasts resulted in an increase in the recognition of accretion revenue of $5.3
million and an increase in the accrual for contingent interest of $1.8 million for the
first quarter of 2004 (see a discussion of contingent interest in Note 7 to the unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements). The net impact of the change in
estimate was to increase first quarter pretax income by $3.5 million, net income by $2.1
million and fully diluted earnings per share by $0.09. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During the second quarter of 2004,
the change in our estimate of projected collections resulting from the application of the
UCS model resulted in an increase in the aggregate total estimated remaining collections
for the reforecasted portfolios by 17.2% as of June 30, 2004. The implementation of these
revised forecasts resulted in a current quarter increase in the recognition of accretion
revenue of $3.0 million and an increase in the accrual for contingent interest of $0.9
million. The net impact of the change in estimate was to increase second quarter pretax
income by $2.1 million, net income by $1.2 million and fully diluted earnings per share by
$0.05. The reforecast of collections resulted in expanding the life of the reforecasted
portfolios by an average of 4 months to a revised average remaining life of 41 months, and
hence, extended the expected stream of revenue from these portfolios. </FONT></P>

rate for the Retained Interest was 7.5% for each of the six-month periods ended June 30,
2004 and 2003 until the cost basis was fully recovered in April of 2004. Collections
received after the book value was fully recovered were recognized as Zero Basis Revenue

million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $35.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $13.1 million or 36.6%. This increase is
primarily volume-related, driven by a 29.5% increase in gross collections. Operating
expenses as a percent of gross collections amounted to 40.2% for the six months ended June
30, 2004 as compared to 38.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2003. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The increase in salaries and benefits
is the result of growth in our workforce and increased costs of employee benefits. The
average number of employees grew by 94 or 14.5% to 743 for the six months ended June 30,
2004 from 649 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Our average compensation and
benefits per employee increased by 7.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 over the
six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase is the result of a 5.2% increase in base
salaries; higher bonus expense due to our strong operating performance; and higher
healthcare costs. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Our ability to attract and retain
skilled employees contributes to our success. The retention rates of our experienced
collectors employed at the beginning of the year and who remained employed through the end
of the period were 82.8% and 86.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Inexperienced collectors are defined as those collectors in our training
program at the beginning of the year, plus all new hires during the year and who remained
employed through the end of the period. The retention rates of inexperienced collectors
were 77.5% and 74.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Other operating expenses increased
approximately $3.3 million, or 66.6%, to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2004 from $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase during the six
months ended June 30, 2004 reflects the implementation of a new channel to out source
collections to third party collection agencies; increases in the cost of direct mail
campaigns and volume driven increases in skip tracing costs. During the first six months
of 2004 we paid $1.5 million in commissions paid to third party collection agencies on
gross collections amounting to $4.7 million. We did not employ third party collection
agencies during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The cost of direct mail campaigns
increased 34.0% or $0.7 million to $2.7 million in the first half of 2004 compared to the
same period in 2003. Skip tracing, credit reporting and scoring costs increased from $1.5
million to $2.1 million in the first half of 2004. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The costs of legal collections
decreased as a percent of gross collections through this channel from 40.3% to 38.6% for
the first six months of 2003 as compared to the first six months of 2004. The cost of
legal collections reflects those costs associated with the business channel dedicated to
collecting on accounts that have been determined to have a high probability of
collections, but which require tactics other than telephone or mail solicitation. Gross
collections through our legal channel grew 69.3% to $31.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2004, from the $18.6 million collected during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
The costs of legal collections amounted to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2004 as compared to the $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Also included in legal costs is a
$0.9 million increase in the provision for uncollectible court costs to $1.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $1.0 million for the prior year&#146;s
same period. The provision is based on our historical analysis of court costs that we have
advanced, recovered, and anticipate recovering. The reserve of $5.5 million on court costs
advanced of $7.5 million represents those costs that we believe will be ultimately
uncollectible as of June 30, 2004. </FONT></P>

respectively. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million or 26.4%,
as compared with the 29.5% increase in gross collections. The increase is primarily a
result of the increased costs of corporate compliance, which increased $0.5 million during
the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as a result
of significant increases in insurance expense, SEC reporting fees, legal fees, accounting

2004, total interest expense including fees and amortization of other loan costs was $18.3
million on average borrowings for the period of $31.8 million, reflecting an effective
annual interest rate of 114.7% for the period. The stated interest on debt obligations
amounted to $1.2 million or 7.4% of the total average borrowings of $31.8 million. For the
six months ended June 30, 2003, total interest expense including fees and amortization of
other loan costs was $9.0&nbsp;million on total average borrowings of $44.2 million,
reflecting an effective annual interest rate of 40.5% for the period. The stated interest

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Under the terms of the Secured
Financing Facility, once we repay the lender for the notes for each purchased portfolio
and collect sufficient amounts to recoup our initial cash investment in each purchased
portfolio, we share the residual collections from the receivables portfolios, net of our
servicing fees, with the lender. The amounts shared with the lender are known as
contingent interest. Based on our estimates with respect to the timing and amount of
collections of future cash flows from these receivables portfolios, we record a portion of
the estimated future profit sharing obligation as contingent interest expense. Certain
portfolios may continue to accrue the contingent interest after the debt is significantly
paid-down or paid-in-full and therefore the effective interest rates on the aggregate
amount of debt outstanding under the Secured Financing Facility become very high. See
Notes 5 and 7 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

We recorded an income tax provision
of $7.7 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The provision for
income tax expense reflects an effective rate of 39.8 % for the six months ended June 30,
2004 and an effective rate of 40.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. For the six
months ended June 30, 2004, the effective rate consists primarily of a provision for
Federal income taxes of 31.9% (which is net of a benefit for state taxes of 3.1%), a
provision for state taxes of 8.8%, and the effect of permanent book versus temporary tax
differences, and the reversal of the remaining reserve on deferred tax assets of 1.0%. For
the six months ended June 30, 2003, the effective rate consists primarily of a provision
for Federal income taxes of 32.0% (which is net of a benefit for state taxes of 2.0 %), a
provision for state taxes of 8.0%, and the effect of permanent book versus temporary tax
differences. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B><I>Operating Cash Flows</I></B><BR>
Cash flows from operations decreased
by 38.5% or $7.6 million to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from
$19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The period-to-period decrease in
operating cash flows was primarily the result of two events. The first event was the
recognition in the six months ended June 30, 2003 of the net proceeds of $7.2 million
related to a one-time litigation settlement. The second event is the Company&#146;s
resumption of paying federal and state income taxes. In 2002 and 2003, we were able to
fully or partially offset our tax liabilities by utilizing net operating loss
carry-forwards generated in prior years. During 2003, we fully utilized our Federal net
operating loss carry-forwards. In 2002 and 2003, we also utilized our state net operating
loss carry forwards with the exception of a California state imposed deferment of our $3.2
million loss carry forward. During 2004, we expect to pay federal and state income taxes
at the statutory rates. Therefore in the six months ended June 30, 2004, and for the first
time since 1998, we made substantial tax payments. These payments totaled $12.3 million
representing an increase of $11.5 million over tax payments of $0.8 million paid during
the six months ended June 30, 2003. </FONT></P>

Cash flows used in investing
activities decreased $6.8 million to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004,
from $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The cash flows used in investing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 are primarily the result of portfolio
purchases of $36.3 million offset by gross collection proceeds applied to the principal of
the receivable portfolios in the amount of $34.4 million. Cash flows used in investing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are primarily the result of portfolio
purchases of $45.1 million, offset by gross collection proceeds applied to the principal
of the receivable portfolios in the amount of $35.9 million. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Our primary investing activity to
date has been the purchase of charged-off receivable portfolios. We purchase receivable
portfolios directly from issuers; from resellers; and through brokers that represent
various sellers. Purchases affect cash flows in two ways. In periods in which we make
portfolio purchases, we generally provide a percentage of each portfolio&#146;s purchase
price. We generally provide 10% under the Secured Financing Facility, 15% under the
Revolving Line of Credit, 25.0% of the purchase price for certain non-credit card
receivables purchased through the Secured Financing, and 100.0% of the purchase price of
other non-credit card portfolios purchased during the period. Subsequent to the purchase,
recoveries on the purchased portfolios produce cash flow. We carefully evaluate portfolios
and bid only on those that meet our selective targeted return profile. </FONT></P>

2004, we invested $36.3 million for portfolios with face values aggregating $1.5 billion

invested during the six months ended June 30, 2003 to acquire portfolios with a face value

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During July 2004, we announced the
largest portfolio purchase in our Company&#146;s history. We invested $13.0 million
acquiring a portfolio with face value of $421.0 million at an average purchase price of
3.1%. (See Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.) The
portfolio contains 213,000 accounts. Eighty-four percent of this portfolio consists of
non-credit card accounts, similar to accounts that we have been purchasing for over three
years. This portion of the portfolio purchase was financed utilizing our new Revolving
Credit Facility. The remaining 16.0% of the portfolio, consisting of credit card accounts,
were financed utilizing our Secured Financing Facility. The aggregate borrowings for the
purchase of this portfolio were $11.2 million, $9.3 million of which was drawn from the
new Revolving Credit Facility, and the remaining $1.9 million from the Secured Financing
Facility. Due to the significantly lower interest expense related to non-credit card
portfolios purchased with our new Revolving Credit Facility, we expect the net financial
results for the portion of this portfolio financed under that agreement to be
substantially better than we would achieve under our Secured Financing Facility. </FONT></P>

was $14.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $7.2 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase reflected $33.3 million in
repayment of principal during for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which was offset by
borrowings of $19.1 million to fund new portfolio purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2004.
 For the six months ended June 30, 2003,we financed $40.0 million to

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Although we historically utilized
external borrowings for the purchase of receivable portfolios, we purchased $15.1 million
in non-credit card portfolios (consisting of charged-off unsecured consumer loans, auto
loan deficiencies, and charged-off consumer telecom debt) without the use of debt during
the six months ended June 30, 2004. We will be able to keep the residual cash flows on
these self-financed non-credit card portfolios. Of the $2.7 million in non-credit card
portfolios that we purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2003, $1.3 million was
funded utilizing our Secured Financing Facility. The remaining $1.4 million was funded
utilizing our Secured Financing, which does not require us to share residual collections
on these portfolios and which was repaid in full on June 30, 2004. Collections related to
all portfolios of non-credit card portfolios amounted to $8.1 million and $2.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>We are required to give our Secured
Financing Facility lender the opportunity to fund all of our purchases of charged-off
credit card receivables with advances on the Secured Financing Facility through the
expiration of the facility, which is December 31, 2004 (see Note 7 to the unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements.) The $75.0 million Secured Financing
Facility provides for a 90% advance rate with respect to each qualified receivable
portfolio purchased. Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 3.0% per annum and is payable
weekly. The applicable interest rate is 1.0% lower on outstanding amounts in excess of
$25.0 million. Notes to be issued under the facility are collateralized by the charged-off
receivables that are purchased with the proceeds from this financing arrangement. Each
note has a maturity date not to exceed 27 months after the borrowing date. Once the notes
are repaid and we have been repaid our investment, we share with the lender the residual
collections from the receivable portfolios, net of our servicing fees. The sharing in
residual cash flows continues for the entire economic life of the receivable portfolios
financed using this facility, and will extend substantially beyond the expiration date of
the Secured Financing Facility. </FONT></P>

Financing Facility through June 30, 2004, we purchased portfolios utilizing this facility
with an aggregate purchase price of $204.5 million and a total face value of $7.7 billion,
financing an aggregate total $183.4 million through this facility. As of June 30, 2004,
there was $26.7 million in principal outstanding, which represents 14.7% of the original

$32.3 million in principal, $1.1 million in interest, and $11.2 million in contingent
interest pursuant to the residual collections sharing arrangement under the Secured
Financing Facility. The Secured Financing Facility is collateralized by certain
charged-off receivable portfolios with an aggregate carrying amount of $73.9 million as of

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On June 30, 2004, we entered into a
new $75.0 million, three-year revolving credit facility (the &#147;Revolving Credit
Facility&#148;) to be utilized for the purposes of purchasing receivable portfolios and
for working capital needs. Interest rates on borrowings under this facility will, at our
option, be at the lender&#146;s prime rate or at Eurodollar plus a current margin of 2.50%. The
applicable margin will be adjusted quarterly based on a pricing grid which takes into
account certain financial covenants related to our balance sheet and results of
operations. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for an 85.0% initial advance rate with
respect to each qualified receivables portfolio purchased. The balance outstanding under
the Revolving Credit Facility must not exceed an amount determined under a &#147;Borrowing
Base&#148; formula. First, the eligible borrowing base of each portfolio financed under
this facility is calculated by applying a three percentage point reduction to the 85%
initial advance rate each month, commencing after the first three complete months. The
aggregate Borrowing Base is the sum of all of the borrowing bases of all portfolios
financed under this facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a security
interest in all assets of the Company, except for those assets in which the Secured
Financing Facility lender has a first priority security interest. This financing
arrangement does not require us to share residual collections with the lender. Draws on
the Revolving Credit Facility for portfolio purchases during the third and fourth quarters
of 2004 will be limited to non-credit card portfolios. Upon expiration of the
Company&#146;s Secured Financing Facility on December 31, 2004, we expect to utilize the
Revolving Credit Facility to fund all types of portfolio purchases, including credit card
receivables. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a $5.0 million letter of credit
sub-facility and requires, under certain circumstances, permanent reductions in the
outstanding balance and overall all availability of the facility. The Revolving Credit
Facility may be repaid without penalty. The Revolving Credit Facility contains substantial
restrictive financial covenants, including but not limited to financial ratios and
limitations on acquisitions, dispositions, merger, dissolution, indebtedness and capital
expenditures. There was no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2004. See Note 7 to the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On July 25, 2003, through a wholly
owned, bankruptcy-remote, special-purpose entity, we entered into a $1.8 million secured
financing arrangement to finance the purchase of non-credit card debt (the &#147;Secured
Financing&#148;). This financing was repaid in full on June 30, 2004. The Secured
Financing provided for a 75.0% advance rate with respect to four purchased receivable
portfolios of charged-off unsecured consumer loans and auto loan deficiencies. Interest
accrued at 15.0% and was payable weekly. This note had a maturity date not to exceed
October 25, 2005. The Secured Financing was collateralized by charged-off receivables from
the four purchased receivable portfolios, which had an aggregate carrying value of $1.4
million as of June 30, 2004. Unlike the Secured Financing Facility, this financing
arrangement did not require us to share residual collections with the lender. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In addition to repayments made on our
Secured Financing Facility and our Secured Financing, since March 31, 2003 we have repaid
in full our Revolving Line of Credit in the amount of $1.9 million, our securitized
receivable acquisition facility entered into by 99-1 (&#147;Securitization 99-1&#148;) in
the amount of $5.2 million, our securitized receivable acquisition facility entered into
by 98-A (the &#147;Warehouse Facility&#148;) in the amount of $5.2 million, and our Senior
Note in the amount of $7.3 million (see Note 5 and 7 to the unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements). </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On December 5, 2003, we were served
with a complaint filed on May 16, 2003 by plaintiff Paul Michael Cox in the Superior Court
for the County of San Diego, California against our wholly owned subsidiaries Midland
Acquisition Corporation (&#147;MAC&#148;) and Midland Credit Management, Inc.
(&#147;Midland&#148;). The plaintiff seeks to enforce against MAC and Midland a $2.2
million default judgment obtained in another state against an unrelated company. The action
against the unrelated company was filed several months after MAC had acquired that Company&#146;s
operating assets in an arms&#150;length transaction. The plaintiff alleges that MAC and Midland are liable for the judgment
on the theory of successor corporation liability. We believe
the claims are without merit and will vigorously defend the action. We have answered the
complaint and discovery is ongoing. The plaintiff has filed a motion for summary judgment,
which we have opposed. The plaintiff&#146;s motion is pending. We have not recorded any
accrual for contingent liability associated with this matter based on our belief that a
liability, while possible, is not probable and the range of loss includes the possibility
of no liability. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty
and may be disposed of unfavorably to us, based on currently available information,
including legal defenses available to us, we do not believe that this matter will have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>There are a number of other lawsuits
or claims pending or threatened against us. In general, these lawsuits or claims have
arisen in the ordinary course of business and involve claims for actual damages arising
from alleged misconduct of us, or our employees or alleged improper reporting of credit
information by us. Although litigation is inherently uncertain, based on past experience;
the information currently available; and the possible availability of insurance and/or
indemnification from originating institutions in some cases, we do not believe that the
currently pending and threatened litigation or claims will have a material adverse effect
on our consolidated financial statements. However, future events or circumstances,
currently unknown to us, may determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened
litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements in any future reporting periods. </FONT></P>
