              NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Earnings
for the year ended December 31, 2001 included herein have been prepared
including the impact of the merger of MFN Financial Corporation with and into
Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc., as if the Merger had been consummated on
January 1, 2002 and January 1, 2001, respectively. The Merger has been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting. The Pro Forma Combined Financial
Data are provided for comparative purposes only. They do not purport to be
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition
had been consummated on the dates indicated or the results that may be obtained
in the future.

The Company has recorded certain preliminary purchase accounting adjustments,
which are based on estimates utilizing available information. Such purchase
accounting adjustments may be refined as additional information becomes
available. No material adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and
liabilities of MFN have been made, and no material acquired intangible assets
have been recognized. In addition, the Company's Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Statement of Operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 includes
the recognition of an extraordinary gain related to the excess of net assets
acquired over purchase price ("negative goodwill") totaling $17.4 million.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.
