          is a specialty finance company that orginates, acquires, funds, 
          sells and services equipment leases. Equipment financed by the Company 
          is diversified and includes embroidery, screen printing, printing, 
          computer, franchisee, furniture and fixtures, automotive repair 
          and diagnostic, and general office and other equipment. The equipment 
          finance by the Company has an average purchase price of $50,000 
          per lease and is generally priced at $250,000 or less. The Company 
          funds the origination or acquisition of its leases through its Warehouse 
          Credit Lines and Credit Facilities. After retaining leases to form 
          a portfolio of sufficient size, the Company sells the cash flow 
          stream of the lease receivables on a non-recourse or limited recourse 
          basis. The Company generally retains servicing rights on all leases 
          it underwrites and is paid monthly servicing fees. 
 CHB's interest in USA Capital was sold in 2000.
