ITEM 5:  OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURES

LEISURE INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES STRUCTURED LIQUIDATION

Mego  Financial  Corp.,  doing  business as Leisure  Industries  Corporation  of
America,  which filed for  reorganization  on July 9, 2003 in the United  States
Bankruptcy  Court,  District  of Nevada in Reno,  today  announced  that it will
liquidate  all of the assets of the  company in an orderly  manner over the next
six to eight months.

The company also announced the  appointment  of C. Alan Bentley as Trustee.  Mr.
Bentley,  a  partner  with  Mackinac  Partners,  has more  than two  decades  of
turnaround  and  restructuring  experience  with a strong  emphasis on strategic
planning,  financial  transactions,  mergers  and  acquisitions,  and  corporate
restructuring.   Mackinac   Partners  is  a  merchant   bank   specializing   in
restructuring and turnaround  management,  investing,  capital markets services,
merger and  acquisition  advisory  services,  strategic  planning  services  and
litigation   advisory   services.   Mackinac   Partners   will  also   serve  as
reorganization consultants to Leisure Industries.

Mr.  Bentley  said,  "I want to emphasize  that it is  anticipated  that Leisure
Industries'  homeowners  will continue to use the resorts  without  interruption
during the sales  processes.  I also want to emphasize that the liquidation will
be a process and in no way should be construed as a fire sale."

Additionally,  Mr. Bentley pointed out, "The  structured  process of liquidation
notwithstanding,  it is unlikely that there will be sufficient  assets remaining
to fulfill the entire liability owed the general unsecured creditors.  Moreover,
it is not  expected  that there will be any  recovery  for the equity  owners of
Leisure Industries."
