Business Premier Acceptance Corporation (the "Company"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Piper Jaffray Companies Inc. (the "Parent"). The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits the business activities in which it may engage to activities in connection with or related to the issuance of mortgage-backed bonds, as described below. The Company's activities include the issuance and sale of securities collateralized by certain mortgage related investments (certificates), directly or through trusts formed by the Company, and the investment of the proceeds in such certificates. The Company or such trusts purchase the certificates prior to or simultaneously with the issuance of the mortgage-backed bonds. The Company has filed shelf Registration Statements under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to which $900,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company's mortgage-backed bonds were registered under the Act. At September 30, 1996, the Company has issued 34 series of bonds with an aggregate original principal amount of $529,950,000. Item 2. Properties The Company has no physical properties. Item 3. Legal Proceedings The Company is not party to any pending legal proceedings. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders Omitted pursuant to General Instruction J of Form 10-K. PART II. Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters As of September 30, 1996, all outstanding shares of the Company's common stock are owned directly by the Parent and are not traded on any stock exchange or in any over-the-counter market. Item 6. Selected Financial Data Omitted pursuant to General Instruction J of Form 10-K. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Omitted pursuant to General Instruction J of Form 10-K. Management's Analysis (pursuant to General Instruction J of Form 10-K) Resources and Liquidity The Company's source of funds with respect to the mortgage-backed bonds is the receipt of payments of principal and interest, including prepayments, on the mortgage-backed collateral certificates securing the bonds, together with the reinvestment income thereon. The Company expects that, at all times, the aggregate future receipts of principal and interest on the certificates, together with reinvestment income thereon, will exceed the aggregate of future amounts due as payments of principal and interest on the mortgage-backed bonds, as well as payments of other liabilities. The deferred bond issuance costs and original issue discounts on the collateral are amortized as bonds are redeemed. Results of Operations The Company's interest income and interest expense are directly related to the issuance and sale of mortgage-backed bonds. Fiscal 1996 interest income and expense increased over the same period of the prior fiscal years due to the issuance of three series of mortgage-backed bonds with aggregate original principal of $54,400,000 during fiscal 1995. The bonds have stated maturities through 2025 and stated interest rates between 8% and 8.15%. The actual maturities may be shortened by prepayments on the collateral. The Company recorded net interest expense of $68,021 and $100,980 for fiscal years 1996 and 1995, respectively, as compared to net interest income of $24,639 for fiscal 1994. The Company recorded net interest expense in fiscal 1996 resulting from additional expense related to the fiscal 1995 sale of residual interests in one series of mortgage-backed bonds. The Company anticipates that it will incur additional interest expense in future years relating to the sale of such residual interests. The Company incurred net interest expense in fiscal 1995 due primarily to the liquidation of collateral related to called bonds, occurring prior to the date the bonds were actually called. Fiscal 1996 gains on accretion of discounts and the amortization of bond issuance costs have both increased over the same period of the prior fiscal years due to additional collateral prepayments. The Company called mortgage-backed bonds with aggregate principal balances of $1,481,000, during fiscal year 1995 and liquidated the corresponding collateral, resulting in a pre-tax net gain of $51,014. The Company sold, to a third party, the residual interests on one series of mortgage-backed bonds during fiscal 1995, which resulted in a pre-tax net gain of $205,632. See Note 3 of the financial statements. Excluding a $101,463 management fee and a $6,000 commission paid to Piper Jaffray Inc. (Piper Jaffray) during fiscal 1995 relating to the sale of Series 27 residual interests, general and administrative expenses were approximately $52,000, $42,000 and $77,000 for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Board of Directors Premier Acceptance Corporation Minneapolis, Minnesota We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Premier Acceptance Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of Piper Jaffray Companies Inc.) as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1996. 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 generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 financial position of Premier Acceptance Corporation as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota November 6, 1996 PREMIER ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (a wholly owned subsidiary of Piper Jaffray Companies Inc.)

PREMIER ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (a wholly owned subsidiary of Piper Jaffray Companies Inc.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Piper Jaffray Companies Inc. (the "Parent"). The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits the business activities in which it may engage to activities in connection with or related to the issuance of mortgage-backed bonds, as described in Note 3. The Company's activities include the issuance and sale of securities collateralized by certain mortgage related investments (certificates), directly or through trusts formed by the Company, and the investment of the proceeds in such certificates. The Company or such trusts purchase the certificates prior to or simultaneously with the issuance of the mortgage-backed bonds. The Company has filed Registration Statements under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to which $900,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company's mortgage-backed bonds were registered under the Act. At September 30, 1996, the Company has issued thirty-four series of bonds with an aggregate original principal amount of $529,950,000. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities during fiscal 1995. Investments pursuant to mortgage-backed securities are classified as available for sale, and are carried at market value based upon quoted market prices with a cost of $43,744,731 and $51,542,305 at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The effect on the Company's financial statements was an unrealized holding loss of $767,584, net of related taxes, for fiscal 1996. The effect was an unrealized holding gain of $2,293,501, net of related taxes, for fiscal 1995. Due to the nature of its business, securities classified as available for sale are held as collateral for outstanding mortgage-backed bonds, and such securities are not salable before the bonds are callable, at some future date. In addition, the market value of GNMA and FNMA securities fluctuate significantly as interest rates change; therefore, the market value of such securities as of the future redemption dates may vary significantly from the current date, and the realization of any unrealized gain is not assured. When the market is such that the value of the securities is less than the amortized cost, the Company has the expectation that such securities would be held to maturity as collateral for the related mortgage-backed bonds, and the Company would not realize any unrealized losses. Thus, no tax benefit would be recognized for unrealized losses for the Company's investment in available for sale securities. The Company does recognize deferred tax liabilities resulting from unrealized gains on available for sale securities. Unamortized bond issuance costs consist of underwriting and other expenses of issuance and distribution. Such costs are amortized as bonds are redeemed. Cash includes monthly principal and interest payments from investments pursuant to mortgage-backed bonds, plus any reinvestment income thereon, which are used to pay interest and redeem mortgage-backed bonds during the month following receipt. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. The Company will evaluate adoption of SFAS No. 125 in fiscal 1997 as required. 3. MORTGAGE-BACKED BONDS The Company periodically issues mortgage-backed bonds (the "bonds") which are collateralized by GNMA or FNMA certificates and guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by the Government National Mortgage Association or the Federal National Mortgage Association. The bonds are obligations solely of the Company and bondholders' only recourse is to the underlying series' collateral. The collateral, which has been purchased with the issuance proceeds, is held by a trustee and is carried at market value under SFAS No. 115, as discussed in Note 2. Principal and interest payments on the collateral are used to meet the debt service of the respective bonds. During fiscal 1995, the Company issued three series of mortgage-backed bonds with an aggregate original principal amount of $54,400,000. The bonds have stated maturities through 2025 and stated interest rates between 8% and 8.15%. The actual maturities may be shortened by prepayments on the collateral. The Company exercised call provisions on mortgage-backed bonds aggregating $1,481,000, during fiscal year 1995 and liquidated the corresponding collateral, resulting in a pre-tax net gain of $51,014. Additionally, the Company sold, to a third party, the residual interests on one series of mortgage-backed bonds during fiscal 1995, which resulted in a pre-tax net gain of $205,632. The issuance of six series of bonds with an aggregate original principal amount of $176,145,000 and the related purchase of collateral certificates has been accounted for financial reporting purposes as a sale. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, interest income, and interest expense relating to these series do not appear on the financial statements of the Company. At September 30, 1996 and 1995, the aggregate amount outstanding was approximately $22,293,000 and $29,574,000, respectively. 4. INCOME TAXES The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and unitary state tax returns with its Parent and affiliates. Payments are made to the Parent each month for federal and state income taxes computed on pre-tax book income using the consolidated effective tax rate. Deferred income taxes are recorded based upon differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities are periodically settled with the Parent. As of September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company's deferred tax liability included $1,017,276 and $1,529,002, respectively in deferred tax liabilities related to the unrealized holding gains on investment securities available for sale. The liabilities offset deferred tax assets of $44,665 and $5,891 for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively, resulting from income recognition differences for residual interests. 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company maintains an agreement with the Parent, stating that Premier may advance excess cash to the Parent for a specified period of time and the Parent shall pay interest to Premier at the stated rate of one-half of one percent over the broker call rate. At September 30, 1996 and 1995, $21,693 and $62,487, respectively, was receivable from the Parent. During fiscal 1995, the Company entered into a borrowing arrangement with the Parent pursuant to the issuance of three series of mortgage-backed bonds. The borrowing was in the form of a note payable from Premier to the Parent, bearing interest at one-half of one percent over the broker call rate. The note was paid in full at September 30, 1995. The Company paid $13,332 in interest expense to the Parent through September 30, 1995. The Company is charged for certain expenses by the Parent based on specifically identified cost allocations. In addition, the Company's Parent provides the Company with accounting and administrative services, including services of officers. For fiscal years ended 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company was charged $20,000, $19,000, and $60,000, respectively for such services. These charges are subject to periodic reevaluation based upon the number of mortgage-backed bond series' outstanding and the nature of services provided. The Company's costs are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred had the Company operated independently. During fiscal 1995, the Company paid a management fee of $101,463 and brokerage commissions of $6,000 to its affiliate, Piper Jaffray Inc. (Piper Jaffray), for services relating to the sale, to a non-affiliated third party, of residual interests on one series of mortgage-backed bonds. No bonds were issued or called in fiscal years 1996 nor fiscal 1994. These fees and commissions were included in general and administrative expenses in the Statement of Operations. In connection with the issuance of mortgage-backed bonds, Piper Jaffray, acting as underwriter, received underwriting discounts of $468,337 for the year ended September 30, 1995. These costs are capitalized on the Company's statement of financial condition as unamortized bond issuance costs. On December 12, 1994, the Board of Directors declared and the Company paid a dividend to the Parent of $3,323,050. 6. SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION The Company paid $4,180,916, $2,809,389 and $230,162 of interest expense for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During fiscal 1996, the Company received a $29,344 refund from the Parent for tax benefits. The Company paid $50,597 and $15,854 of income taxes to the Item 9.
