This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events and therefore are inherently uncertain. Actual performance and results may differ materially from those projected or suggested due to certain risks and uncertainties, including acquisition and transition challenges, assimilation issues in the consolidation process, customer reaction to the acquisition, and operational and other risks relating to the combination of separate businesses. Additional information concerning certain other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested, is contained in Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc.'s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Forward Looking Statements." The forward-looking statements contained herein represent the judgment of Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. cautions against the placement of undue reliance on such statements. ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. On May 20, 2003, the registrant Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. ("CPS") acquired TFC Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TFCE") and its subsidiaries, by the merger (the "Merger") of CPS Mergersub, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Mergersub") and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CPS, with and into TFCE. The Merger took place pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 31, 2003 (the "Merger Agreement"), among CPS, Mergersub and TFCE. In the Merger TFCE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPS. CPS thus acquired the assets of TFCE and its subsidiaries, consisting principally of interests in motor vehicle installment sales finance contracts, interests in securitized pools of such contracts, and the facilities for originating and servicing such contracts. TFCE, through its primary operating subsidiary, The Finance Company, is in the business of purchasing motor vehicle installment sales finance contracts from automobile dealers, and securitizing and servicing such contracts. CPS intends to continue to use the assets acquired in the Merger in the automobile finance business. Attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 are copies of press releases relating to the Merger described in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which press releases are incorporated herein by reference. At the closing of the Merger, each share of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of TFCE, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, was cancelled and became a right to receive $1.87 per share in cash, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon surrender of the certificates that evidenced such shares. The total merger consideration payable to stockholders of TFCE was approximately $21.6 million. The amount of such consideration was agreed to as the result of arms'-length negotiations between CPS and TFCE. The recipients of the total merger consideration had no material relationship with CPS, its directors, its officers or any associates of such directors or officers, to the best of CPS's knowledge. The Merger consideration was paid with existing cash of CPS. 2

EXHIBIT 23.1 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S CONSENT We consent to the use in this Form 8-K/A Amendment No. 1 of Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. of our report, dated January 23, 2003, for TFC Enterprises, Inc., which includes an emphasis paragraph relating to an uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. /s/ McGladrey & Pullen, LLP Raleigh, North Carolina August 4, 2003

EXHIBIT 99.3 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF TFC ENTERPRISES, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ------------------------------ The Board of Directors and Shareholders TFC Enterprises, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TFC Enterprises, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TFC Enterprises, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company adopted FASB Statement Number 142, Goodwill and other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002. In accordance with FASB Statement 142, the impairment of goodwill is shown as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 17 to the financial statements, the Company's revolving lines of credit become due during the year ended December 31, 2003 and the Company has not obtained additional financing. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 17. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. McGladrey & Pullen, LLP Raleigh, North Carolina January 23, 2003, except for the third paragraph from the end of Note 1 and the second and third paragraphs of Note 17, as to which the date is March 31, 2003 1

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS TFC Enterprises Inc. ("TFCE") is a holding company with one primary wholly-owned subsidiary, The Finance Company ("TFC"). TFCE has no significant operations of its own. TFC specializes in purchasing and servicing installment sales contracts originated by automobile and motorcycle dealers involved in the sale of new and used automobiles, vans, light trucks, and motorcycles (collectively "vehicles") on an individual basis ("point-of-sale" purchase). Based in Norfolk, Virginia, TFC also has six contract production offices throughout the United States in communities with a large concentration of military personnel. On October 1, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the Company, as the sole shareholder of First Community Finance, to sell substantially all the assets of First Community Finance. Accordingly, the Company has classified First Community Finance's operations as discontinued operations, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The assets, liabilities, operating results, and cash flows related to the discontinued operation are presented as a single item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cashflows. Future operating results will also be presented as a single line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of TFCE and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (collectively, the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As discussed in Note 10, the Company's subsidiary, First Community Finance, has been accounted for as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, disclosures herein pertain to the Company's continuing operations. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and overnight repurchase agreements, exclusive of restricted cash. RESTRICTED CASH Restricted cash relates to cash collected on contract receivables which are the collateral for the automobile receivables-backed notes and the cash related to credit enhancement. The restricted cash is used to pay the principal and interest on the automobile receivables-backed notes. 6

CONTRACT RECEIVABLES Contract receivables that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by any charge-off or valuation accounts and net of any unamortized loan costs and unamortized discounts on purchased loans. CREDIT LOSSES The Company's primary business involves purchasing installment sales contracts at a discount from the remaining principal balance on both a bulk and point-of-sale basis. A portion of this discount represents anticipated credit loss and based upon projected loss experience, is held in a nonrefundable reserve against which future credit losses will first be applied. The remaining portion, if any, of the discount is recorded as unearned discount and accreted to income as discussed below. Additional amounts necessary to cover estimated future credit losses, if any, are first reclassified from unearned discount to nonrefundable reserve then, if necessary, an amount is charged to income sufficient to maintain the combined allowance for credit losses and nonrefundable reserve at an amount considered by management to be adequate to absorb estimated future credit losses on the outstanding contract receivables. Management evaluates the reasonableness of the assumptions used in projecting the loss experience by reviewing historical credit loss experience, delinquencies, repossession and other recovery trends, the size of the finance contract portfolio and general economic conditions and trends. Historical credit loss experience is monitored on a static pool basis. Contract originations, subsequent charge-off and recoveries are assigned to annual pools and the pool performance is monitored separately. Projected recoveries are considered in reserves anticipated for credit losses based on undiscounted amounts. If necessary, any assumptions used will be changed in the future to reflect historical experience to the extent it deviates materially from that which was assumed. It is generally the Company's policy, related to the installment sales contracts purchased by TFC, to charge its nonrefundable reserve and then the allowance for credit losses for all contract receivables which are 180 days past due. Any amounts collected subsequent to being charged off are restored to the nonrefundable reserve. The carrying value of repossessed assets is reduced, through charge-off, to the lower of the unpaid contract balance or anticipated liquidation proceeds. SUSPENSION OF INTEREST - At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the accrual of interest income was suspended on approximately $8.1 million and $11.2 million of contract receivables, respectively. Foregone interest on these loans amounted to approximately $.14 million and $.21 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively. 7

EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over each asset's estimated useful life, generally five to seven years. GOODWILL ACCOUNTING CHANGE Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FASB Statement Number 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. The Company has determined the impairment of goodwill is $6.8 million and has recorded the impairment as a change in accounting principle. Among the provisions of FASB Statement Number 142 is a requirement to disclose what reported net income would have been in all periods presented exclusive of amortization expense (net of related income tax effects) recognized in those periods related to goodwill, intangible assets no longer being amortized, and changes in amortization periods for intangible assets that will continue to be amortized together with related per share amounts. Per FAS 142, no amortization expense was recognized in relation to goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Additionally, net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 has been restated to reflect the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. The effect of this change in accounting principle for the year ended December 31, 2002 resulted in an increase in accumulated deficit and a decrease in net income of $6.8 million, to a net loss of $4.0 million. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets consist of a purchased dealer list which is being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 15 years. The carrying value of the intangible assets is reviewed on an ongoing basis. If this review indicates that the intangibles will not be fully recoverable, as determined based on estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by the intangible assets over their remaining lives, their carrying values will be reduced to the recoverable amounts using discounted cash flows. No impairment losses have been recorded for any period presented. INCOME TAXES The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities (i.e., temporary differences) and are measured at the enacted rates that will be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. INCOME RECOGNITION Interest revenue from precomputed contract receivables, simple interest-bearing contract receivables and revenue from insurance commissions are recognized using the interest method. Loan origination service fees and certain direct costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan using the interest method. 8

The portion of the discount arising from purchases of contract receivables which is not considered to be nonrefundable reserve for credit losses (see discussion above) is recorded as unearned discount. Unearned discounts are deferred and accreted to income using the interest method over the contractual life of the related receivables. The Company periodically reassesses the amount of contract purchase discount accreted to interest revenue to reflect changes in delinquency and charge-off experience. Accrual of interest revenue and accretion of unearned discounts continue until contracts are collected in full, become ninety days contractually delinquent, or are charged-off (see discussion above) consistent with practices generally applied by consumer finance companies. DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS External costs incurred to obtain financing are deferred and amortized on the effective interest method over the anticipated term of the borrowing. Deferred financing costs of $2.8 million and $1.9 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are included in other assets. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company uses derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest-rate volatility. The Company's goal is to manage interest-rate sensitivity by modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics of certain balance-sheet assets and liabilities so that the net-interest margin is not, on a material basis, adversely affected by movements in interest rates. As a result of interest-rate fluctuations, hedged assets and liabilities will appreciate or depreciate in market value. The effect of this unrealized appreciation or depreciation will generally be offset by income or loss on the derivative instruments that are linked to the hedged assets and liabilities. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company has no other comprehensive income items for any periods presented. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock option plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to account for its employee stock-based compensation plan using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations, which does not require compensation to be recorded if the consideration to be received is at least equal to the fair value of the common stock to be received at the measurement date. Under the requirements of SFAS No. 9

123, non-employee stock-based transactions require compensation to be recorded based on the fair value of the securities issued or the services received, whichever is more reliably measurable. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share had compensation costs for the stock-based compensation plan been determined based on grant date fair values of awards under the provision of SFAS No. 123, for the years ended December 31 (in thousands, except per share data): Years ended December 31 ----------------------- 2002 2001 --------- --------- Net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders As reported $ (4,031) $ 5,076 Less total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value-based method for all awards, net of related tax effects (193) (270) --------- --------- Pro forma $ (4,224) $ 4,806 ========= ========= Net income (loss) per share applicable to common stockholders: As reported Basic $ (0.35) $ 0.44 ========= ========= Diluted $ (0.34) $ 0.43 ========= ========= Pro forma Basic $ (0.37) $ 0.42 ========= ========= Diluted $ (0.35) $ 0.40 ========= ========= EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding any dilutive effects of options and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, including dilutive stock options and convertible securities outstanding during the year. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 10

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES In its normal course of business, the Company encounters two significant types of risk: economic and regulatory. There are three components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more rapidly or on a different basis than its interest-earning assets. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company's loan portfolio that results from the borrowers' inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of collateral underlying contracts receivable. The determination of the allowance for loan losses is particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic, environment and market conditions. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2002, the allowance for loan losses and non-refundable reserves are adequate based on information currently available. A worsening or protracted economic decline would increase the likelihood of losses due to credit and market risks and could create the need for substantial increases to the allowance for loan losses. The Company's business is subject to regulation and licensing under various federal, state and local statutes and regulations. Most states where the Company operates limit the interest rate, fees and other charges that may be imposed by, or prescribe certain other terms of the contracts that the Company purchases and define the Company's rights to repossess and sell collateral. An adverse change in those laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability by, among other things, limiting the states in which the Company may operate or the interest rate that may be charged on installment contracts or restricting the Company's ability to realize the value of any collateral securing contracts. The Company is not aware of any materially adverse legislation currently pending in any jurisdiction where it currently transacts business. In June 2001, The Finance Company completed a $75 million warehouse facility for the interim financing of motor vehicle retail installment contracts. The facility has an expiration date of January 1, 2004 with an option to extend one year. The transaction was completed with Westside Funding Corporation, a special purpose funding vehicle administered by Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, New York Branch (WestLB). WestLB will assist TFC as placement agent for structuring Securitization Transactions from the related collateral in the warehouse facility. In July 2002, TFC renegotiated the warehouse facility. Under the amended facility, the line changed from $75 million to $40 million and is set to expire July 1, 2003. In December 2000, GECC announced that it would no longer participate in the business of financing automobiles or automobile finance companies and renewed the amended revolving line of credit through March 2001. In March 2001, The Finance Company signed a new agreement with this lender that terminated January 1, 2002. Pursuant to the new agreement, the credit line declined from $130 million to $100 million at the closing of the securitization on April 2, 2001, declined to $75 million on August 1, 2001, and terminated January 1, 2002. On December 3, 2001 the credit line was reduced to $50 million and extended through April 1, 2002. In March 2002, the Company signed a new agreement with this lender that terminated January 2, 2003 and reduced the line of credit from $50 million to $40 million on July 1, 2002. In October 2002, the Company signed an amendment with this lender that terminates on April 1, 2003. On March 31, 2003, GE Capital extended this line until May 31, 2003. 11

RECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN AMOUNTS Certain balance sheet and income statement amounts for the year ended December 31, 2001 have been reclassified, with no effect on retained earnings, to be consistent with the classifications adopted for the year ended December 31, 2002. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosures" (SFAS 148) which amends FASB Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123). SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation.

REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT (SEE NOTE 17) Pursuant to the amended revolving line of credit agreement dated January 1, 1999, the Company's primary lender agreed to provide a credit line of $130 million through January 1, 2001. The agreement was extended through January 1, 2002. The credit line available under the extension: (i) declined to $100 million as of April 2, 2001; (ii) declined to $75 million on August 1, 2001; and (iii) terminated January 1, 2002. In December 2001, the facility was further extended through April 1, 2002 with an available credit line of $50 million. In March 2002, the Company signed a new agreement with this lender that terminated January 2, 2003. The credit line available under the new agreement declined from $50 million to $40 million on July 1, 2002. In October 2002, the Company signed an extension through April 1, 2003. The revolving line of credit is secured by all assets of TFC and is guaranteed by TFCE. On a daily basis, the Company remits all cash receipts relating to those receivables to the lender. These daily cash receipts are first applied to accrued interest on the revolving line of credit and the remainder to principal. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit, totaled $13.3 million and $29.0 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The advance rate used to determine availability on this line is limited to a percentage of eligible collateral as specified in this amended agreement. Unused availability under this facility totaled $9.3 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, based on collateral in existence at that time. The 1997 amended agreement along with the December 1996 amended agreement granted the lender warrants to purchase a cumulative total of approximately 1.1 million shares of the Company's common stock at $1 per share over a 5-year period. The expiration of the warrants was subsequently amended to 120 days after the termination of the agreement. The issuance of these warrants was recorded as additional paid-in capital and as a discount to the line of credit. The amount, $0.5 million in 1997 and $0.4 million in 1996 was amortized into interest expense over the term of the 1997 amended agreement. Interest on the revolving line of credit accrues at a floating rate equivalent to one-month LIBOR plus a borrowing spread and line fees of $0.7 million for 2002 and $0.3 million for 2001. The borrowing spread on the Company's primary revolving line of credit was as follows for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001: Borrowing Spread January 1, 2001 to July 31, 2001 3.50 August 1, 2001 to June 30, 2002 4.00 July 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002 4.50 The average outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit totaled $27.4 million and $65.2 million respectively, in 2002 and 2001. The average interest 15

rate paid on the revolving line of credit was 6.06% in 2002 and 7.98% in 2001. At December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively, one-month LIBOR was 1.44% and 2.13% and the total interest rate was 5.94% and 6.13%. Another line of credit with another lender is secured by certain receivables of PCA and is guaranteed by TFCE. This $6 million facility was established in December 1999 and renews annually in February. Borrowings outstanding under this facility totaled $0.2 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Interest on the revolving line of credit accrues at a floating rate equivalent to prime on the first day of the month plus 3.25%. There was no unused availability under this facility in 2002 or 2001. The average outstanding balance on the PCA revolving line of credit totaled $0.5 million and $1.7 million with an average interest rate of 8.25% and 10.31% at December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively. At December 31, 2002 and 2001 the total interest rate was 8.25%. WAREHOUSE FACILITY (SEE NOTE 17) In June 2001, The Finance Company completed a $75 million warehouse facility for the interim financing of motor vehicle retail installment contracts. The facility had an expiration date of January 1, 2004 with an option to extend one year. The transaction was completed with Westside Funding Corporation, a special purpose funding vehicle administered by Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, New York Branch (WestLB). WestLB will assist the Company as placement agent for structuring Securitization Transactions from the related collateral in the warehouse facility. In July 2002, The Finance Company renegotiated the warehouse facility. Under the amended facility the line changed from $75 million to $40 million and is set to expire July 1, 2003. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit totaled $5.9 million and $67.3 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively. The advance rate used to determine availability on this line is limited to a percentage of eligible collateral as specified in the agreement. There was no unused availability under this facility at December 31, 2002. Interest on the revolving line of credit accrues at a floating rate equivalent to one-month LIBOR plus borrowing spread of 2.50%. The agreement utilizes monthly interest-rate swaps to convert its variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate debt. At December 31, 2002 the notional amount of the swap was approximately $5.5 million and the warehouse facility approximated fair value. The average outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit totaled $28.8 million and $30.1 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The average interest rate paid on the revolving line of credit was 4.11% in 2002 and 5.53% in 2001. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, one-month LIBOR was 1.44% and 1.91% and the total interest rate was 3.94% and 4.41%.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN The Company has a defined contribution savings plan covering all permanent employees working 20 or more hours per week and with more than one year of service. Under the terms of the plan, the Company matches 50% of employees' contributions up to 10% of each employee's earnings as defined. In addition, employees have the option of contributing additional amounts. The Company's plan expense for 2002 and 2001 was $0.2 million. 8. STOCK PLANS EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan"), which allows for employees to purchase common stock to be granted to employees, including eligible officers, of the Company. A total of 530,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Stock Purchase Plan. The Company periodically grants options to certain eligible employees under this plan. These stock options are fully vested at the date of grant. Approximately, 6,100 options and 15,000 options were exercised in 2002 and 2001, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, there are no outstanding unexercised options. Any employee who is customarily employed for at least 20 hours per week and more than five months per calendar year by the Company and has more than 6 months of service is eligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan. No employee is 21

permitted to purchase shares under the Stock Purchase Plan if such employee owns 5% or more of the total outstanding shares of the Company. In addition, no employee is entitled to purchase more than $25,000 of common stock (based upon the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time the option is granted) in any calendar year. The price at which shares of common stock are sold under the Stock Purchase Plan is the lower of 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant or the purchase date of such shares. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN The Company has established the 1995 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan"), which provides incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock for certain executives of the Company. The options generally vest over a period of five years. A total of 1.5 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan. On June 1, 1998, 104,679 options granted in 1995 were canceled and reissued at an exercise price equal to the then fair market value of the Company's common stock of $2.94 with vesting beginning January 1, 1999 over five years. The remaining options granted in 1995 at an exercise price of $11.50 expired on December 31, 1999. On June 1, 1998, 483,750 options were granted to certain employees at an exercise price equal to the then fair market value of the Company's common stock of $2.94, with vesting beginning January 1, 1999 over five years. Approximately, 10,000 and 70,000 options were exercised in 2002 and 2001, respectively. All outstanding options generally expire five years from the vesting date. As disclosed on Note 1, pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by FAS No. 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, under the fair value method of FAS No. 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 2.3% to 6%; price volatility of 64% to 70%; no dividends during the expected life and a weighted-average expected life of the options of 5.0 years. A summary of the activity for the Company's stock options with exercise prices equal to the grant-date market value for the two years ended December 31 was as follows: 2002 2001 ------------------------- -------------------------- Shares Weighted Shares Weighted under Average under Average Option Exercise Option Exercise (In 000s) Price (In 000s) Price ----------- ------------- ----------- -------------- Outstanding at beginning of year 1,013 $2.58 1,204 $2.74 Granted 15 1.58 18 1.74 Exercised (10) 1.25 (70) .96 Forfeited and expired (161) 2.89 (139) 2.42 ----------- ----------- OUTSTANDING AT END OF YEAR 857 $2.52 1,013 $2.58 =========== =========== EXERCISABLE AT END OF YEAR 627 $2.29 614 $2.27 =========== =========== Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $0.94 $1.07 22

Accordingly, the revenues, costs and expenses, assets and liabilities, and cash flows of First Community Finance have been segregated in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets" (SFAS 144) which the Company adopted on January 1, 2002, net income and gain/loss on disposition of FCF are reflected in the consolidated statements of income and cash flows as discontinued operations . In accordance with SFAS 144, the 2001 financial statements have been restated to classify the operations of FCF as discontinued operations. 23

The following summarizes the results of discontinued operations: (in thousands) 2002 2001 --------- --------- Consumer finance receivables $ 1,415 $ 28,616 ========= ========= Interest and other finance revenue on contract receivables 5,317 6,322 ========= ========= Pretax income from operations 70 714 Income tax expense (28) (235) Loss on sale of assets (net of income tax benefit of $103) (168) -- --------- --------- Income from discontinued operations $ (126) $ 479 --------- --------- First Community Finance On October 1, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the Company, as the sole shareholder of First Community Finance, to sell substantially all the assets of First Community Finance. On November 4, 2002, the Company sold the majority of its consumer finance receivables to an unrelated third party, "buyer", for approximately $21 million. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, the buyer offered employment to the majority of First Community Finance's employees and assumed all of the leases relating to the branch locations. Total net proceeds were paid on the closing date in cash. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, the Company has retained approximately $3.8 million in consumer finance receivables. The Company has stopped originating loans through First Community Finance and is currently attempting to collect the remaining receivables. 11. COMMITMENTS The Company conducts its business in leased facilities with original terms of one to eleven years with renewal options for additional periods. These leases are classified as operating leases. Certain equipment, including automobiles, are leased for original terms of one to five years and are classified as operating leases. Options to purchase are also included in certain equipment lease agreements. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $0.8 million. Future minimum annual lease payments for property and equipment under lease at December 31, 2002 were as follows: (IN THOUSANDS) - -------------- 2003 654 2004 513 2005 494 2006 203 -------- Total $ 1,864 ======== 24

The Company is party to several legal actions which are ordinary, routine litigation incidental to its business. The Company believes that none of those actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company. 12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISKS In its normal course of business, the Company engages in consumer lending activities with a significant number of consumers (obligors) throughout the United States. The maximum risk of accounting loss from these on- balance-sheet financial instruments with these counterparties, assuming all collateral is deemed worthless, is represented by their respective balance sheet amounts. At December 31, 2002 approximately 66% of the Company's contract receivables portfolio is related to obligors who bought vehicles from dealers in California (22%), Texas (20%), Virginia (15%), and Georgia (9%). Although the Company's contract receivables portfolio includes consumers living throughout the United States, a substantial portion of the obligors' ability to honor their obligations to the Company may be dependent on economic conditions in these states. 13. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," (FAS No. 107) requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a point in time based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other relevant market data and information about the financial instrument. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the estimated fair value may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates exclude all non-financial assets and liabilities including property and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, prepaid assets, accrued liabilities, taxes payable and refundable dealer reserves. Accordingly, the estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments do not represent the entire value of the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments at December 31, 2002 and 2001: SHORT-TERM FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts reported on the Company's balance sheet generally approximate fair value for financial instruments that mature in 90 days or less, with no significant change in credit risk. The carrying amounts approximate fair value for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and certain other assets and liabilities. Financial instruments included in other assets and liabilities primarily include trade accounts receivable and payable. 25

CONTRACT RECEIVABLES The estimated fair value of contract receivables was calculated using market rates of return required for a bulk purchase of contract receivables with similar credit and interest rate characteristics. The estimated fair value of contract receivables that did not meet the criteria for a bulk purchase, generally contracts that were more than 30 days past due, was calculated based upon the liquidation value of the collateral. REVOLVING LINES OF CREDIT, AUTOMOBILE-RECEIVABLES NOTES, SUBORDINATED NOTES AND OTHER TERM DEBT The estimated fair values for the revolving lines of credit, automobile receivables backed notes, subordinated notes, and other term debt were based on indicative market prices for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities currently available to companies with similar credit ratings. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were as follows (IN THOUSANDS): 2002 2001 ---- ---- Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 285 $ 285 $ 414 $ 414 Restricted cash 22,441 22,441 23,176 23,176 Net contract receivables 150,221 130,053 182,875 158,399 Other assets 769 769 429 429 Financial liabilities: Revolving lines of credit $ 19,386 $ 19,386 $ 97,143 $ 97,143 Automobile receivables-backed notes 96,780 96,780 55,056 55,056 Subordinated notes 9,680 8,406 12,075 10,017 Other term debt 75 75 302 302 Other liabilities 694 694 1,340 1,340 14. SEGMENTS Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Due to the sale of substantially all the assets of First Community Finance, the Company redefined its segments. Previously, the Company operated with two business segments. Through TFC, the auto finance segment, the Company is engaged in purchasing and servicing installment sales contracts originated by automobile and motorcycle dealers involved in the sale of used automobiles, vans, light trucks, and new and used motorcycles (collectively "vehicles") throughout the United States. This segment consists of two business units (i) point-of-sale which contracts are acquired on an individual basis from dealers after the Company has reviewed and approved the purchasers credit application and (ii) bulk which contracts were acquired through the purchase of dealer portfolios. Through FCF, the consumer finance segment, the Company was involved in the direct origination and servicing of small consumer loans through a branch network in Virginia and North Carolina. The Company's operations are now classified into one segment. 26

15. BANKRUPTCY REMOTE SUBSIDIARIES TFC Receivables Corporation 2, III, IV, V and VI are wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiaries of TFC that were formed to facilitate certain asset-backed financing transactions requiring bankruptcy remote structure. Bankruptcy remote refers to a legal structure in which it is expected that the applicable entity would not be included in any bankruptcy filing by its parent or affiliates. These subsidiaries have issued $333.6 million of automobile receivables-backed notes of which $96.8 is outstanding at December 31, 2002. Proceeds from the issuances were used to purchase certain assets from the Company, which collateralize the notes. At December 31, 2002, these subsidiaries had total assets of $152.4 million, of which $127.8 million represented net contract receivables, $22.4 million represented restricted cash and $2.6 million represented other assets which primarily included deferred charges. All of the assets of these subsidiaries have been pledged as collateral on the automobile receivables-backed notes. None of the assets of these subsidiaries are available to pay other creditors of the Company or its affiliates. The automobile receivables-backed notes are further discussed in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2001, TFC completed a $75 million warehouse facility for the interim financing of motor vehicle retail installment contracts. The facility has an expiration date of January 1, 2004 with an option to extend one year. The transaction was completed with Westside Funding Corporation, a special purpose funding vehicle administered by Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, New York Branch (WestLB). WestLB will assist TFC as placement agent for structuring Securitization Transactions from the related collateral in the warehouse facility. TFC Warehouse Corporation I is the wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary of TFC that was formed to facilitate the asset-backed financing transactions requiring bankruptcy remote structure. In July 2002, TFC renegotiated the warehouse facility. Under the amended facility the line changed from $75 million to $40 million and is set to expire July 1, 2003. The transaction is further discussed in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 27

(2) There may be a discrepancy in YTD net income per share due to rounding. 29

17. GOING CONCERN/SUBSEQUENT EVENT As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, TFC's principal sources of borrowing are (i) a revolving line of credit (the "GE Facility") in the maximum amount of $40 million, guaranteed by the Company, TFC Enterprises, Inc., with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GE Capital") and (ii) a revolving line of credit (the "Westside Facility") in the maximum amount of $40 million, with Westside Funding Corporation, a special purpose funding vehicle administered by WestLB. The GE Facility is scheduled to terminate on April 1, 2003. The Westside Facility is scheduled to expire on July 1, 2003 and requires TFC to have in place a $40 million revolving credit facility at all times. As of the date of this report, TFC has not replaced the GE Facility and has no material prospects available to replace the facility. In no event will TFC be able to replace the GE Facility by April 1, 2003, thus becoming in default of the Westside Facility on April 1, 2003. Because of the uncertainties resulting in the Company not having replaced its credit facilities to comply with the Westside Facility, the Company has received a going concern explanatory paragraph in the audit report of its auditors, which is an additional default provision in the agreement. Accordingly, absent the waivers discussed in the next paragraph, both the GE Facility and the Westside Funding facility would go into default on April 1, 2003. These defaults will cause the Company's three securitization subsidiaries to also go into default under their terms as well. As mentioned above, GE Capital and Westside Funding have waived certain default under each of these facilities, as have the insurers of the three securitizations, premised on the closing of the recently announced CPS Merger. Should this Merger not close, the Company will be forced to attempt to negotiate additional waivers and extensions with its existing lenders, and attempt to find alternative financing sources and consider the possibility of seeking protection under state and federal bankruptcy laws. On March 31, 2003 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (the "CPS Merger"). On March 31, 2003, the Company signed an agreement with GE to extend the line of credit to May 31, 2003 and agreed to pay GE $166,667 to repurchase all Company warrants held by GE. The relevant parties to the Westside Facility and the three securitizations also waived any defaults under their respective facilities contingent on the closing of the CPS Merger. The Company expects the CPS Merger to be completed on or before May 31, 2003 and plans to continue operations as normal until the closing of the merger. If the merger does not close, the Company will be forced to attempt to find alternative financing sources, presumably after seeking protection under state and federal bankruptcy laws. 30

TFC ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS TFC Enterprises Inc. ("TFCE") is a holding company with one primary wholly-owned subsidiary, The Finance Company ("TFC"). TFCE has no significant operations of its own. TFC specializes in purchasing and servicing installment sales contracts originated by automobile and motorcycle dealers involved in the sale of new and used automobiles, vans, light trucks, and motorcycles (collectively "vehicles") on an individual basis ("point-of-sale" purchase).

In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments which management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods are reflected in the financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2003. 2. CONTRACT RECEIVABLES The following is a summary of contract receivables at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002: March 31, Dec. 31, (IN THOUSANDS) 2003 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross contract receivables $ 209,514 $ 203,760 Unamortized loan costs 311 311 Less: Unearned interest revenue 36,546 38,448 Unearned discount 388 585 Unearned commissions 471 516 Payments in process (5) 4,856 Allowance for credit losses 780 780 Nonrefundable reserve 24,548 8,665 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net contract receivables $ 147,097 $ 150,221 ================================================================================ 36

TFC ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. CONTRACT RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED) The static pool reserve methodology is used to analyze and reserve for our credit losses. This methodology allows us to stratify our portfolio into separate and identifiable annual pools. The loss performance of these annual pools is analyzed monthly to determine the adequacy of the reserves. The loss performance to date combined with estimated future losses by pool year establishes the estimated loss for each pool year. Estimates are reviewed regularly and if necessary, will be revised to reflect historical experience if it deviates materially from the estimates. The Company previously determined certain contract receivables to be uncollectible. Based on events that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company has determined these contract receivables may, in fact, be collectible. The Company has recorded a restoration of net contract receivables of approximately $16,572,000 and restored the corresponding discounts utilized when the net contract receivables were deemed uncollectible. Although the contract receivables are deemed collectible, they are considered impaired in conformity with FASB Statement No. 114, as amended by FASB Statement No. 118, ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN - INCOME RECOGNITION AND DISCLOSURES (AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 114). The total discounts restored in relation to the net contract receivables were $16,572,000 at March 31, 2003 and $0 at December 31, 2002. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $8,286,000 in the first quarter of 2003 and $0 in 2002. No interest income was recognized on the impaired net contract receivables in the first quarter of 2003. The Company is not committed to lend additional funds to debtors whose net contract receivables have been modified. Changes in the allowance for credit losses and nonrefundable reserve for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were as follows: Three months ended March 31, - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- (IN THOUSANDS) 2003 2002 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at beginning of period $ 9,445 $ 12,672 Provision for credit losses 59 45 Allocation for credit losses 3,869 5,938 Discounts collected attributable to restoration of net contract receivables 16,572 -- Charge-offs (6,889) (10,690) Recoveries 2,272 1,637 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at end of period $ 25,328 $ 9,602 ======================================================================= 37

TFC ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 4. SEGMENTS Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Due to the sale of substantially all the assets of First Community Finance, the Company redefined its segments. Previously, the Company operated with two business segments. Through TFC, the auto finance segment, the Company is engaged in purchasing and servicing installment sales contracts originated by automobile and motorcycle dealers involved in the sale of new and used automobiles, vans, light trucks, and motorcycles (collectively "vehicles") throughout the United States. This segment consists of two business units (i) point-of-sale which contracts are acquired on an individual basis from dealers after the Company has reviewed and approved the purchasers credit application and (ii) bulk which contracts were acquired through the purchase of dealer portfolios. The bulk purchasing was phased out in March 2001. Through FCF, the consumer finance segment, the Company was involved in the direct origination and servicing of small consumer loans through a branch network in Virginia and North Carolina. The Company's operations are now classified into one segment. 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The disposition of the consumer finance segment represents discontinued operations under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Accordingly, the revenues, costs and expenses, assets and liabilities, and cash flows of First Community Finance have been segregated in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets" (SFAS 144) which the Company adopted on January 1, 2002, net income and gain/loss on disposition of FCF are reflected in the consolidated statements of income and cash flows as discontinued operations . 6. GOING CONCERN/SUBSEQUENT EVENT TFC's principal sources of borrowing are (i) a revolving line of credit (the "GE Facility") in the maximum amount of $40 million, guaranteed by the Company, TFC Enterprises, Inc., with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GE Capital") and (ii) a revolving line of credit (the "Westside Facility") in the maximum amount of $40 million, with Westside Funding Corporation, a special purpose funding vehicle administered by WestLB. The GE Facility was scheduled to terminate on April 1, 2003. The Westside Facility is scheduled to expire on July 1, 2003 and requires TFC to have in place a $40 million revolving credit facility at all times. As of the date of this report, TFC has not replaced the GE Facility and has no material prospects available to replace the facility. TFC was not able to replace the GE Facility by April 1, 2003, thus becoming in default of the Westside Facility on April 1, 2003. Because of the uncertainties resulting in the Company not having replaced its credit facilities to comply with the Westside Facility, the Company has received a going concern explanatory paragraph in the audit report of its auditors for the year ended December 31, 2002, which is an additional default provision in the agreement. Accordingly, absent the waivers discussed in the next paragraph, both the GE Facility and the Westside Funding facility, and other facilities would have gone into default on April 1, 2003. These defaults would have caused the Company's three securitization subsidiaries to also go into default under their terms as well. 39

TFC ENTERPRISES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 6. GOING CONCERN/SUBSEQUENT EVENT (CONTINUED) On March 31, 2003, the Company, Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. ("CPS") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPS (the "CPS Subsidiary") entered into a merger agreement whereby, subject to the approval of TFCE's shareholders, the CPS Subsidiary will merge with and into TFCE, and TFCE will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CPS (the "CPS Merger"). The completion of a term transaction is (a) contingent on completion of the merger and (b) required by the merger agreement. The merger will be completed simultaneously with the closing of TFC's 2003-1 securitization. As mentioned above, GE Capital and Westside Funding have waived certain defaults under each of these facilities, as have the insurers of the three securitizations, premised on the closing of the recently announced CPS Merger. Should the CPS Merger not close, the Company will be forced to attempt to negotiate additional waivers and extensions with its existing lenders, and attempt to find alternative financing sources. During this process, management would be forced to consider the possibility of seeking protection under state and federal bankruptcy laws under certain circumstances. TFC obtained waivers of the events of default existing under the Westside Facility and the GE Facility described in the immediately preceding paragraph until the earliest of (x) the closing of the CPS Merger, (y) the failure of the CPS Merger to close and (z) May 31, 2003 (the "Extension Period"). TFC's 2003-1 securitization will not close unless the CPS Merger is completed. The Westside Facility is presently scheduled to expire on July 1, 2003 and the GE Facility is scheduled to expire at the end of the Extension Period. GE has informed TFC that it will not renew or extend the GE Facility beyond the expiration of the Extension Period. In part to repay GE and Westside, TFC intends to close on a new securitization contemporaneous with the closing of the CPS Merger. Proceeds of the issuance of the notes in the planned securitization would be applied, among other things, to repay all amounts due under the GE Facility and the Westside Facility. Upon such repayment, the GE Facility and the Westside Facility will be terminated. Contemporaneous with the CPS Merger, TFC expects to enter into a new $25 million revolving line of credit with Westside Funding Corporation to fund purchases of installment contracts (the "New Westside Facility"), in which event, TFC's principal sources of liquidity will consist of the New Westside Facility and any additional resources made available by CPS. If the New Westside Facility is not entered into, there can be no assurance that alternative sources of financing would be available and, in such event, TFC might consider the possibility of seeking protection under state and federal bankruptcy laws. The Insurer of the Securitization has reserved the right not to issue the Note Policy (in which event the Notes will not be issued) unless the Insurer is reasonably confident at the time of issuance that the New Westside Facility will be consummated shortly thereafter. 40
