AAMES FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

        The condensed consolidated financial statements of Aames Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Parent"), and its subsidiaries (collectively, with the Parent, the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted.

        The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries after eliminating all significant intercompany transactions and reflect all normal, recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results of operations of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for the interim periods reported. The results of operations for the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

        At September 30, 2003, Specialty Finance Partners (“SFP”), a partnership controlled by Capital Z Financial Services Fund, II, L.P., a Bermuda partnership (together with SFP, “Capital Z”) owned preferred stock representing approximately 43.3% of the Company’s combined voting power in the election of directors and approximately 90.1% of the combined voting power in all matters other than the election of directors. Representatives or nominees of Capital Z have five of the nine seats on the Board of Directors, and as current members’ terms expire, Capital Z has the continuing right to appoint and elect four directors and nominate one additional director. As a result of its beneficial ownership and Board representation, Capital Z has, and will continue to have, sufficient power to determine the Company’s direction and policies.

Note 2: Guaranty Arrangements

        The Parent has guaranteed amounts outstanding under certain revolving warehouse and repurchase agreements pursuant to which certain of its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries are the contractual borrowers. The Parent has also guaranteed amounts outstanding under a borrowing facility, secured by one of the operating subsidiary’s residual interests and certain of that subsidiary’s advance receivables (the “Financing Facility”), pursuant to which that subsidiary is the contractual borrower. The Parent's guarantees are full, complete and unconditional. Capital Z is a limited guarantor under the Financing Facility.
