                              BASIS OF PREPARATION


       Medallion Financial Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in
1995 and commenced operations on May 29, 1996 in connection with the closing of
its initial public offering (the "Offering") and simultaneous acquisition (the
"Acquisitions") of Medallion Funding Corp. ("MFC"), Edwards Capital Company
("Edwards"), Transportation Capital Corp. ("TCC") and Medallion Taxi Media, Inc.
("Media").  The Company's acquisition of these businesses in connection with the
Offering and the resulting two-tier structure were effected pursuant to an order
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") (Release No. I.C.
21969, May 21, 1996) ("the "Acquisition Order") and the approval of the U.S.
Small Business Administration (the "SBA").  A detailed description of the
Company, MFC, Edwards, TCC and Media may be found in the Acquisition Order and
the Company's Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form N-2
(File No. 333-1670) filed in connection with the Offering and declared effective
on May 22, 1996.

       The financial information included in this report is divided into four
sections.  The first section, Item 1, includes the unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 1996 and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the 32-day period ended June
30, 1996.  Item 1 also sets forth the consolidated balance sheet of the Company
as of December 31, 1996.  The second section, Item 2, consists of Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and
sets forth an analysis of the financial information included in Item 1.  The
third section, item 1A, includes the unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 which have been
prepared as if the Acquisitions, the Offering and the application of the
proceeds of the Offering occurred on April 1, 1995 or 1996, as applicable.  The
final section, Item 2A, consists of Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and sets forth an analysis of the
financial information included in Item 1A.  All references to shares and per
share amounts in this report reflect a 12,500-for-one stock split effected on
May 29, 1996.

       The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 1996 and the
related statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the
32-day period ended June 30, 1996 included in Item 1 have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the
opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary
to summarize fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations.
The results of operations for the 32-day period ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any
other interim period.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Registration Statement.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1996


(1)  FORMATION OF MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP.

     The Company is a closed-end management investment company and has elected
to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").  The Company was organized as a
Delaware corporation in 1995.  On May 29, 1996, the Company issued and sold
5,750,000 shares of common stock at $11.00 per share and split the existing 200
shares of common stock outstanding into 2,500,000 shares.  In parallel with the
Offering, the Company merged with Tri-Magna, acquired substantially all of the
assets of Edwards, and acquired all of the outstanding voting stock of TCC.  As
a result of the merger with Tri-Magna, the Company also acquired Tri-Magna's
wholly-owned subsidiaries, MFC and Media.  As a prerequisite to the
Acquisitions, the Company applied for and received the Acquisition Order under
the 1940 Act from the Commission.  The Company engages directly and/or through
its principal subsidiaries primarily in the business of making loans to small
businesses and, to a lesser degree, in the business of taxicab rooftop
advertising.

     Tri-Magna was a closed-end management investment company registered under
the 1940 Act and was the sole shareholder of MFC and Media.  MFC is a closed-end
management investment company registered under the 1940 Act and is licensed as a
specialized small business investment company ("SSBIC") by the U.S. Small
Business Administration (the "SBA").  As an adjunct to the Company's finance
business, Media operates a taxicab rooftop advertising business.  MFC and Media
are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

     Edwards, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is licensed as a small
business investment company ("SBIC") by the SBA and is registered as a closed-
end management investment company under the 1940 Act.

     TCC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is licensed as an SSBIC by
the SBA and is registered as a closed-end management investment company, under
the 1940 Act.

(2)  ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

     The Acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.  Under this accounting method, the Company has recorded as its cost
the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.  The difference
between the cost of acquired companies and the sum of the fair values of
tangible and identifiable intangible assets less liabilities assumed was
recorded as goodwill or negative goodwill.

     Deferred offering costs incurred by the Company in connection with the sale
of shares was recorded as a reduction of capital upon completion of the
Offering.  These costs are

recorded net of $200,000 payable by Tri-Magna in accordance with the merger
agreement between the Company and Tri-Magna.

(3)  INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY

     The Company's investment in Media is accounted for under the equity method
because as a non-investment company, Media cannot be consolidated with the
Company which is an investment company.  Financial information for Media for the
period commencing with the Company's acquisition of Media on May 29, 1996 and
ending on June 30, 1996 is as follows:

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

GENERAL

  This discussion is intended to assist investors in their analysis of the
financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  The information
contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing in this report.

  The Company's principal activity is the origination and servicing of loans
financing the purchase of taxicab medallions and related assets ("Medallion
Loans") and commercial installment loans financing small businesses in other
targeted industries ("Commercial Installment Loans").  The earnings of the
Company depend primarily on its level of net interest income, which is the
difference between interest earned on interest-earnings assets consisting
primarily of Medallion Loans and Commercial Installment Loans, and the interest
paid on interest-bearing liabilities consisting primarily of credit facilities
with bank syndicates and subordinated debentures issued to or guaranteed by the
SBA.  Net interest income is a function of the net interest rate spread, which
is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets
and the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as
the average balance of interest-earning assets as compared to interest-bearing
liabilities.  Net interest income is affected by economic, regulatory and
competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and the
availability of funding to finance the Company's lending activities.  The
Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to
the degree that its interest-earning assets reprice on a different basis than
its interest-bearing liabilities.

  The Company's investment income is driven by the yield on Medallion Loans and
Commercial Installment Loans.  The extent to which the yield of the Company's
Medallion Loan originations exceed the prevailing prime rate of interest charged
by major commercial banks (the "Prime Rate") has been in a long-term decline.
However, since December 1994 the average yield of the combined Medallion Loan
and Commercial Installment Loan portfolios has slightly increased.  Weighted
average portfolio yield at June 30, 1996 was 10.65% for the entire portfolio.
The increase in average yield is partially the result of stabilization in market
interest rates for Medallion Loans, which began in July 1994.  Since December
1994, the average portfolio yield has generally increased as older, lower
interest rate loans in the portfolio have matured or been prepaid and newer,
higher interest rate loans have constituted a greater proportion of the
portfolio.  Recently, however, the weighted average yield of the Medallion Loan
portfolio has declined slightly to 9.82%.  From inception of its business
through 1995, the period between the origination and final payment of all
Medallion Loans originated by Tri-Magna has been estimated by the Company to be
29 months.  The Company believes that this time period varies to some extent as
a function of changes in interest rates because borrowers are more likely to
exercise prepayment rights in a decreasing interest rate environment when the
interest rate payable on the borrower's loan is high relative to prevailing
interest rates and are less likely to prepay in a rising interest rate
environment.

                                      -12-

 
  The Company has also increased the average yield of the portfolio by shifting
the portfolio mix toward a higher percentage of Commercial Installment Loans,
which historically have had a yield of approximately 350 basis points higher
than the Company's Medallion Loans and 500 to 700 basis points higher than the
Prime Rate.  Commercial Installment Loans had a weighted average yield of 13.45%
and represented 22.1% of the total portfolio or $34.4 million at June 30, 1996.
The Company intends to continue to increase the percentage of Commercial
Installment Loans in the total portfolio.

  The Company's interest expense is driven by the interest rate payable on the
Company's LIBOR-based short-term credit facilities with bank syndicates and, to
a lesser degree, fixed-rate, long-term subordinated debentures issued to or
guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA").  Recently, the
Company has generally reduced its reliance on SBA financing and increased the
relative proportion of bank debt to total liabilities.  SBA financing can offer
very attractive rates, but such financing is restricted in its application and
its availability is uncertain.  In addition, SBA financing subjects its
recipients to limits on the amount of secured bank debt they may incur.
Accordingly, the Company plans to continue to limit its use of SBA funding and
will seek such funding only when advantageous, such as when SBA financing rates
are particularly attractive, and to fund loans that qualify under the Small
Business Investment Act of 1958 (the "SBIA") and the regulations thereunder
("SBA Regulations"), through subsidiaries already subject to SBA restrictions.
The Company believes that its transition to financing its operations primarily
with short-term LIBOR-based bank debt has generally decreased its interest
expense thus far, but has also increased the Company's exposure to the risk of
increases in market interest rates.  The Company also expects that net interest
income should increase because bank debt is more available than SBA financing
and will thus permit an increase in the size of the loan portfolio.  At June 30,
1996, short-term LIBOR-based debt constituted 72% of total debt.

  The Company's cost of funds is primarily driven by (i) the average maturity of
debt issued by the Company, (ii) the premium to LIBOR paid by the Company on its
LIBOR-based debt, and (iii) the ratio of LIBOR-based debt to SBA financing.  The
Company incurs LIBOR-based debt for terms generally ranging from 30-180 days.
The Company's subordinated debentures issued to or guaranteed by the SBA
typically have terms of ten years.  The Company's cost of funds reflects
fluctuations in LIBOR to a greater degree than in the past because LIBOR-based
debt has come to represent a greater proportion of the Company's debt.  The
Company measures its cost of funds as its aggregate interest expense for all of
its interest-bearing liabilities divided by the face amount of such liabilities.
The Company analyzes its cost of funds in relation to the average of the monthly
90- and 180-day LIBOR (the "LIBOR Benchmark").  At June 30, 1996, the Company's
average cost of funds, e.o.p. was 7.09%, or 140 basis points over the LIBOR
Benchmark of 5.69%.

  In connection with its Medallion Loan finance business, the Company also
conducts a taxicab rooftop advertising business through Media.  Media began
operations in November 1994.  Media's revenue is affected by the number of
taxicab rooftop advertising displays ("Displays") that it owns and the occupancy
rate of those Displays.  At June 30, 1996, Media had 1,670 installed Displays.
The Company expects that Media will continue to expand its operations.  Although
Media is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, its results of operations are
not consolidated with the Company because Securities and Exchange 

                                      -13-

 
Commission regulations prohibit the consolidation of non-investment companies,
such as Media, with investment companies, such as the Company.

  Factors which affect the Company's net assets include net realized gain/loss
on investments and change in net unrealized depreciation of investments.  Net
realized gain/loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds derived
upon foreclosure of a loan and the cost basis of such loan.  Change in net
unrealized depreciation of investments is the amount, if any, by which the
Company's estimate of the fair market value of its loan portfolio is below the
cost basis of the loan portfolio.  Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), the SBIA and SBA Regulations, the Company's loan
portfolio must be recorded at fair market value or "marked to market."  Unlike
certain lending institutions, the Company is not permitted to establish reserves
for loan losses, but adjusts quarterly the valuation of its loan portfolio to
reflect the Company's estimate of the current realizable value of the loan
portfolio.  Since no ready market exists for the Company's loans, fair market
value is subject to the good faith determination of the Company.  In determining
such value, the Company takes into consideration factors such as the financial
condition of its borrowers, the adequacy of its collateral and the relationships
between current and projected market rates of interest and portfolio rates of
interest and maturities.  Any change in the fair value of portfolio loans as
determined by the Company is reflected in net unrealized depreciation of
investments and affects net increase in net assets resulting from operations but
has no impact on net investment income or distributable income.  Upon completion
of the acquisitions of Edwards, TCC and Tri-Magna and its subsidiaries, MFC and
Media (collectively, the "Founding Companies"), on May 29, 1996, the Company's
loan portfolio was recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value as
estimated by the Company in accordance with the 1940 Act and the purchase method
of accounting.

  Prior to the Acquisitions, the Company had no results of operations and each
of Tri-Magna, Edwards and TCC had been operating independently of each other.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 For the Period Commencing May 29, 1996 and Ending June 30, 1996.

  Performance Summary.  Net increase in net assets resulting from operations was
$543,000 for the period ended June 30, 1996.  This amount represents the
earnings of the Company from the commencement of operations on May 29, 1996
through June 30, 1996; therefore, there is no prior comparable period.

  Net Interest Income.  Net interest income was $693,000 for the period ended
June 30, 1996.  The average interest rate spread was 3.45% and the Company's
investment income was $1,393,000.  The Company's portfolio growth was $6.7
million or 4.5% from $149.4 million at May 29, 1996 to $156.2 million at June
30, 1996.  The average portfolio yield was 10.71% for the period ended June 30,
1996.  Medallion Loans had a weighted average yield of 9.82% and represented
approximately 77.9% of the total portfolio at June 30, 1996.  Commercial
Installment Loans has a weighted average yield of 13.45% and represented
approximately 22.1% of the total portfolio at June 30, 1996.

                                      -14-

 
  The Company's interest expense was $699,200 for the period ended June 30,
1996.  The average interest rate on borrowings was 7.26% for the period ended
June 30, 1996.  The Company's average cost of funds, e.o.p. was 7.09% or 140
basis points over the LIBOR Benchmark of 5.69%.  Although the portfolio grew,
the Company's net borrowings decreased $10.7 million or 8.9% from $120.8 million
at May 29, 1996 to $110.1 million at June 30, 1996.  The decreased borrowings
were the result of the repayment of LIBOR-based debt with the proceeds from the
Offering.

  Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiary.  Advertising revenue
generated by Media was $151,000, for the period ended June 30, 1996 and the
number of Displays owned by Media on such date was 1,670.  Display rental cost
was $45,000 resulting in a gross margin of $105,800, or 70%, for period ended
June 30, 1996.  Display occupancy was 80% for the period ended June 30, 1996.
Net income generated by Media was $28,900 for the period ended June 30, 1996.
Media's net income is recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated
subsidiary on the Company's statement of operations.

  Other Income. The Company's other income was $57,800 for the period ended June
30, 1996.

  Accretion of Negative Goodwill.  Negative goodwill is the excess of fair
market value of net assets of an acquired business over the cost basis of such
business.  Negative goodwill of $3.1 million was generated in the acquisition of
Tri-Magna.

  Non-Interest Expenses.  The Company's non-interest expense was $301,000 for
the period ended June 30, 1996.  The Company will seek to reduce non-interest
expense as a percentage of assets by consolidating the operations of the
Company, maximizing efficiencies of scale and eliminating redundant services and
functions.

  Amortization of Goodwill.  Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired
business over the fair value of net assets acquired.  Goodwill of $6.3 million
was generated in the Acquisition of Edwards.

  Net Realized Gain/Loss on Investments and Change in Net Unrealized
Depreciation of Investments.  There were no realized losses during the period
ended June 30, 1996.  Upon completion of the Acquisitions on May 29, 1996, the
Company's loan portfolio was recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value
as estimated by the Company in accordance with the 1940 Act and the purchase
method of accounting.  From that date through June 30, 1996 there was no change
in unrealized depreciation of investments.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

  Interest Rate Sensitivity.  Financial institutions such as the Company are
subject to interest rate risk to the extent their interest-earning assets
(consisting of Medallion Loans and Commercial Installment Loans) reprice on a
different basis over time in comparison to their interest-bearing liabilities
(consisting primarily of credit facilities with bank syndicates and subordinated
SBA debentures).

                                      -15-

 
  Having interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice more frequently on
average than assets may be beneficial in times of declining interest rates,
although such an asset/liability structure may result in declining net earnings
during periods of rising interest rates.  Conversely, having interest-earning
assets that mature or reprice more frequently on average than liabilities may be
beneficial in times of rising interest rates, although this asset/liability
structure may result in declining net earnings during periods of falling
interest rates.  The mismatch between maturities and interest rate sensitivities
of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
results in interest rate risk.  Abrupt increases in market rates of interest may
have an adverse impact on the Company's earnings.

  The effect of changes in market rates of interest is mitigated by regular
turnover of the portfolio.  From inception of its business through 1995, the
period between the origination and final payments of all Medallion Loans
originated by Tri-Magna is estimated by the Company to have been 29 months on a
weighted average basis. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that approximately
40% of the portfolio will mature or be prepaid each year.  The Company believes
that the average life of its loan portfolio varies to some extent as a function
of changes in interest rates because borrowers are more likely to exercise
prepayment rights in a decreasing interest rate environment when the interest
rate payable on the borrower's loan is high relative to prevailing interest
rates and are less likely to prepay in a rising interest rate environment.

  The Company seeks to manage the exposure of the balance of the portfolio to
increase in market interest rates by entering into interest rate cap agreements
to hedge a portion of its variable-rate debt against increases in interest rates
and by incurring fixed-rate debt.  The Company has entered into interest rate
cap agreements to limit the Company's interest rate exposure to 7.5% on $20.0
million of its LIBOR-based debt through April 7, 1997 and to 7.0% on an
additional $20.0 million of its LIBOR-based debt through November 16, 1997.  The
Company will seek to manage interest rate risk by evaluating and purchasing, if
appropriate, additional derivatives, originating adjustable-rate loans and
revising, if appropriate, its overall level of asset and liability matching.
Nevertheless, the Company accepts varying degrees of interest rate risk
depending on market conditions and believes that the resulting asset/liability
interest rate mismatch results in opportunities for higher net interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  The Company's sources of liquidity are credit facilities with bank syndicates,
fixed rate, long-term subordinated SBA debentures that are issued to or
guaranteed by the SBA and loan amortization and prepayments.  As a regulated
investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
the Company distributes at least 90% of its investment company taxable income;
consequently, the Company primarily relies upon external sources of funds to
finance growth.  At June 30, 1996, 72% of the Company's $110.1 million of debt
consisted of bank debt, substantially all of which was at variable effective
rates of interest averaging below the Prime Rate and 28% consisted of
subordinated SBA debentures with fixed rates of interest with a weighted average
rate of 7.4%.  The Company is eligible to seek SBA funding but plans to continue
to limit its use of SBA funding and will seek such funding only when
advantageous, such as when SBA financing 

                                      -16-

 
rates are particularly attractive, or to fund loans that qualify under SBA
regulations through Edwards and TCC which are already subject to SBA
restrictions. In the event that the Company seeks SBA funding, no assurance can
be given that such funding will be obtained. In addition to SBA funding, an
additional $17.3 million of debt was available at June 30, 1996 at variable
effective rates of interest averaging below the Prime Rate under the Company's
$95.0 million bank credit facilities. The Company had increased the amount
available under such credit facilities by $7 million on June 28, 1996.

  The following table illustrates the Company's and each of the Founding
Companies' sources of available funds and amounts outstanding under credit
facilities at June 30, 1996.

  Loan amortization and prepayments also provide a source of funding for the
Company.  Prepayments on loans are influenced significantly by general interest
rates, economic conditions and competition.  Medallion Loan prepayments
accelerated throughout virtually all of 1993 and the first three months of 1994
because of the generally lower level of interest rates which prompted
significant Medallion Loan refinancing activity.  However, these prepayments
have slowed since early 1994 because of increases in the level of interest rates
which have caused a decrease in Medallion Loan refinancing activity and more
recently because of an increase in the percentage of the Company's Medallion
Loans which are refinanced with the Company rather than through other sources of
financing.

  The Company has limited its use of SBA funding and will seek such funding
only when advantageous.  Over the past two years the Company has expanded its
loan portfolio, reduced its level of SBA financing and increased its level of
bank funding.  At June 30, 1996, SBA financing represented 28% of total debt.
While bank funding often carries higher interest rates than SBA funding, the
Company believes that such higher rates will be offset by the increased volume
of funding and loan originations which should result in increased net interest
margin.

                                      -17-

 
  Media funds its operations through internal cash flow and intercompany
debt.  Media is not a RIC and, therefore, is able to retain earnings to finance
growth.

  The Company believes that the net proceeds of its initial public offering
remaining after application of such proceeds to the purchase of the Founding
Companies, application of the cash acquired in connection with the Acquisitions,
anticipated borrowings from the SBA and under its bank credit facilities and
cash flow from operations (after distributions to stockholders) will be adequate
to fund the continuing growth of the Company's loan portfolio and advertising
business through at least the second quarter of 1997.  In addition, in order to
provide the funds necessary for the Company's expansion strategy, the Company
expects to incur, from time to time, additional short- and long-term bank and
(to the extent permitted) SBA leverage, and to issue, in public or private
transactions, its equity and debt securities.  The availability and terms of any
such securities will depend upon market, regulatory and other conditions.  There
can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available on terms
acceptable to the Company.

ITEM 1A.  MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP.  INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA
          COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS


     The following unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 have been prepared to reflect the
Offering, which closed on May 29, 1996, and the application of the proceeds of
the Offering.  The proceeds of the Offering were primarily allocated to, and the
pro forma combined statements of operations accordingly reflect (i) the
Company's acquisition of Edwards, TCC, Tri-Magna and its subsidiaries MFC and
Media which were acquired by the Company simultaneously with the closing of the
Offering, and (ii) the repayment of indebtedness.  The pro forma combined
statements of operations also reflect the application of the cash acquired in
connection with the Acquisitions and the adjustments described in the
accompanying notes.  The pro forma combined statements of operations are based
on the historical statements of operations of the Company, Tri-Magna, Edwards
and TCC, as well as the estimates and assumptions set forth below and in the
notes to the pro forma combined statements of operations.  The pro forma
combined statements of operations were prepared as if the Offering and the
application of the proceeds of the Offering occurred on April 1, 1995 or 1996,
as applicable.

     Pro forma adjustments are based upon preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions that management deems appropriate.  Pro
forma purchase price adjustment allocations are based on the preliminary results
of the Company's due diligence, but are subject to change, since the preliminary
estimates of the fair value of assets acquired as a result of the Acquisitions
may change upon completion of the final analysis.  The pro forma combined
financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
which actually would have occurred if such transactions had been consummated on
April 1, 1995 or 1996, as applicable, nor does it purport to represent the
Company's future results of operations.  Neither expected benefits and cost
reductions anticipated by the Company nor future corporate costs that are not
under contract have been reflected in the accompanying pro forma statements of
operations.

              NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1996


     1.   Unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations adjustments (all
dollars in thousands)

          (a) Adjustments to record the amortization of goodwill (excess of cost
over the fair value of net assets of business acquired) and accretion of
negative goodwill (excess of fair value of net assets over cost of business
acquired), respectively, recorded in purchase accounting related to the goodwill
resulting from the Edwards and TCC acquisitions and the negative goodwill
arising in the acquisition of Tri-Magna.  The goodwill related to Edwards and
TCC is being amortized on a straight line basis over 15 years, and the negative
goodwill related to Tri-Magna is being accreted on a straight line basis over
approximately 4 years.

          (b) Adjustment to reflect the reduction in subordinated SBA debenture
interest expense resulting from the repayment from the net proceeds of the
Offering and the cash acquired in the Acquisitions of all of Tri-Magna's
subordinated SBA debentures held during 1995.  An adjustment is also made to
reflect the reduction in bank debt interest expense resulting from the repayment
of a portion of bank debt from the net proceeds of the Offering and the cash
acquired in the Acquisitions, bearing interest at a weighted average rate of
7.60% per annum.  The combined repayment of SBA and bank debt is equal to
$21,200.  In addition, an adjustment was made for the interest expense savings
on the repayment of a Tri-Magna loan ($3,232) due upon consummation of the
Offering.

          (c) Adjustment to reflect the reduction in interest income related to
the payment of $7,015 of excess cash in conjunction with the paydown to bank
debt, bearing interest at an assumed rate of approximately 4.0% per annum,
respectively.

          (d) Adjustment to record the elimination of the preferred stock
dividend resulting from Tri-Magna's repurchase of preferred stock.  This
transaction occurred on September 29, 1995 and the repurchase was considered by
the Company in its determination of negative goodwill.  The buyback was funded
by additional debt ($3,232) which was repaid with proceeds from the Offering.
The interest expense saving which will result from the repayment of this debt
was considered by the Company as a reduction in interest expense.

     TCC also participated in the SBA preferred stock buyback program on August
14, 1995.  There are no dividends to eliminate, as TCC did not elect to pay
them.  Further, no interest income adjustment was reflected related to the
funding of the buyback as the amount was considered nominal.

          (e) Adjustment to reflect the reduction in executive compensation and
pension expense, as a result of the elimination of three senior vice president
executive positions at Tri-Magna.

          (f) Adjustment to reflect the increase in salaries and benefits
expense due to the investment advisory fees to be paid monthly, in arrears, to
FMC Advisers, Inc. ("FMC").  This increase in expense is partially offset by the
reduction in professional fee expense due to the elimination of amortization of
deferred financing costs.

          (g) Adjustment to eliminate certain operations expenses of Edwards.
These expenses will not recur, as the related assets and liabilities were not
acquired by the Company as part of the acquisition of  Edwards.  These expenses
include the elimination of depreciation and the elimination of amortization of
deferred financing costs.

          (h) Adjustment to eliminate certain operation expenses of Tri-Magna in
connection with the accounting for the Company's negative goodwill.  These
expenses will not recur, as the related assets were written off by the Company
as part of the acquisition, including the elimination of Tri-Magna's
depreciation.

          (i) Adjustment to eliminate income and other corporate tax expenses
for TCC and Edwards.  Both companies intend to be treated as regulated
investment companies, and therefore, no taxes will be assessed to them.

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

     The following discussion, under the caption "Pro Forma Results of
Operations," presents the results of operations of the Company had the Founding
Companies been acquired and the Offering effected on April 1, 1995 or 1996, as
applicable.  In addition, the pro forma information is based on available
information and certain assumptions and adjustments set forth in the notes to
the pro forma combined financial statements.  The pro forma combined financial
statements are not necessarily comparable to or indicative of future
performance.

                        PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1996

     Performance Summary.  Net increase in net assets resulting from operations
increased $32,000 or 2.2% from $1.46 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995 to $1.49 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase
was the result of an increase in net interest income caused by a decrease in
cost of funds offset by a slight decrease in portfolio yield.  The increase in
net interest income was partially offset by a decrease in other income caused by
a decline in the receipt of prepayment fees due to an increase in market rates
for Medallion Loans resulting in decreased refinancing activity.  The increase
in net interest income was also offset by a decrease in advertising revenue
resulting from a decrease in Media's Display occupancy rates.  Non-interest
expense also decreased because of a reduction in salaries and benefits and other
operating expenses related to the consolidation of the Founding Companies.  Net
unrealized depreciation of investments decreased because of the decreased
potential loan loss exposure corresponding to the contraction of TCC's loan
portfolio.

     Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $79,000 or 4.0% from
$2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $2.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996.  The interest rate spread of 2.69% for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 increased 38 basis points to 3.07% for the
three months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase reflected a 70 basis point
decrease in the Company's average cost of funds offset by a 32 basis point
decrease in the average yield of the portfolio.  The Company's investment income
increased $52,000 or 1.3% from $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995 to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in
investment income was the result of portfolio growth of $6.9 million or 4.8%
from an average of $144.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to an
average of $151.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 offset by a
decrease in the average yield of the portfolio of 32 basis points from 10.65%
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to 10.33% for the three months ended
June 30, 1996.  The decrease in average yield was the result of the timing of
loan growth, which occurred primarily at the end of the three month period and
the fact that the newly originated loans, therefore, only generated interest for
a small portion of the period.

                                      -24-

 
                       MANAGEMENT'S PRO FORMA DISCUSSION
                      AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     The Company's interest expense decreased $26,000 or 1.4% from $1.9 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $1.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996. Interest expense decreased as the result of a 70 basis
point decrease in the average cost of funds during the period from an average of
7.96% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to 7.26% for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  The Company's 70 basis point decrease in average cost of
funds was driven primarily by a 49 basis point decrease in the LIBOR Benchmark
during the comparable periods.  The decrease in average cost of funds was offset
by increased average net borrowings of $3.7 million or 3.2% from $115.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $118.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  The increased borrowings were incurred to fund portfolio
growth.

     Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiary.  Advertising revenue
generated by Media increased $31,000, or 7.8%, from $396,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 to $427,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996
because of an increase in Displays.  The number of Displays owned by Media
increased by 470 or 39% from 1,200 at June 30, 1995 to 1,670 at June 30, 1996.
The increase in Displays also caused Display rental costs to increase $47,000,
or 43.9%, from $107,000 to $154,000 resulting in a decrease in gross margin of
$18,000, or 6.2%, from $289,000, or 73%, for the three months ended June 30,
1995 to $273,000, or 63.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  Gross
margin decreased because Display occupancy decreased 20% from an average of 100%
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to 80% for the three months ended June
30, 1996.  Net income generated by Media decreased $28,000 or 50.0% from $56,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $28,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996.  Media's net income is recorded as equity in earnings of
unconsolidated subsidiary on the Company's pro forma combined statement of
operations.  The decrease in earnings was the result of reduced Display
occupancy.

     Other Income.  The Company's other income decreased $22,000 or 11.2% from
$198,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $176,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996.  Other income decreased because of a reduction in
the receipt of prepayment fees due to an increase in the percentage of the
Company's Medallion Loans which are refinanced with the Company rather than
through other sources of financing.

     Accretion of Negative Goodwill.  Negative goodwill is the excess of fair
market value of net assets of an acquired business over the cost basis of such
business.  Negative goodwill of $3.1 million was generated in the acquisition of
Tri-Magna.

     Non-Interest Expenses.  The Company's non-interest expense decreased
$31,000 or 2.9% from $1.06 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to
$1.03 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease was
primarily due to reductions in salaries and benefits and other operating
expenses related to the consolidation of the Founding Companies.  The Company
will continue to reduce non-interest expense as a percentage of 

                                      -25-

assets by consolidating the operations of the Founding Companies, maximizing
efficiencies of scale and eliminating redundant services and functions.

     Amortization of Goodwill.  Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired
business over the fair value of net assets acquired.  Goodwill of $6.3 million
was generated in the Acquisition of Edwards.

     Net Realized Gain/Loss on Investments and Change in Net Unrealized
Depreciation of Investments.  For the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
the Company had realized losses on investments of $7,900 and $18,000,
respectively.  The Company's change in net unrealized depreciation of
investments decreased from $44,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to
$27,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, due to the decreased potential
loan loss exposure associated with the contraction of the TCC loan portfolio.
Upon completion of the Acquisitions on May 29, 1996, the Company's loan
portfolio was recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value as estimated by
the Company in accordance with the 1940 Act and the purchase method of
accounting.
