            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

                            September 30, 1994 



Note 1.  Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared  in accordance with generally  accepted accounting principles
for  interim periods.   These  condensed consolidated  financial statements
include the accounts of American General Finance Corporation (AGFC) and all
of  its subsidiaries (the Company).  The subsidiaries are all wholly-owned,
and all intercompany items have been  eliminated.  Per share information is
not  included because AGFC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American General
Finance,  Inc. (AGFI).    AGFI is  a  wholly-owned subsidiary  of  American
General Corporation (American General).


Note 2.  Adjustments and Reclassifications

These condensed consolidated financial statements  include all adjustments,
consisting  only  of  normal  recurring  adjustments,  which  the   Company
considers necessary for a  fair presentation of the consolidated  financial
position  at September  30, 1994  and December  31, 1993,  the consolidated
results of operations for the three months  and nine months ended September
30, 1994  and 1993,  and the  consolidated cash flows  for the  nine months
ended  September 30, 1994 and 1993.  These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be  read in conjunction  with the consolidated  financial
statements and related  notes included  in the Company's  Annual Report  on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

To conform with  the 1994 presentation,  certain items in the  prior period
have been reclassified.  Additionally, certain amounts previously  reported
in  the 1993  third quarter  Form 10-Q  have been  restated to  reflect the
retroactive adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  (SFAS)
112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits", effective January
1, 1993.  


Note 3.  New Accounting Standard

In  October 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 119,
"Disclosure about  Derivative  Financial  Instruments  and  Fair  Value  of
Financial  Instruments",   which  requires  additional   disclosures  about
derivative financial instruments and amends existing fair value  disclosure
requirements.   This statement is  effective for fiscal  years ending after
December 15, 1994.  Adoption of SFAS 119 will result in additional footnote
disclosures but  will  not impact  the  Company's consolidated  results  of
operations and consolidated financial position.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion  and Analysis  of Financial  Condition and
         Results  of Operations.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview.   The Company believes that its overall sources of liquidity will
continue to be sufficient to satisfy its foreseeable financial obligations.

Operating Activities.   The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
included in Item  1. herein indicate the adjustments for  non-cash items in
order to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities.
Such non-cash items  include the provision  for finance receivable  losses,
the  depreciation  and amortization  of  assets,  the deferral  of  finance
receivable  origination  costs,   the  change  in   insurance  claims   and
policyholder  liabilities,  and  the  change  in  other  assets  and  other
liabilities.

Net cash flows  from operating  activities include the  receipt of  finance
charges on finance receivables  and the payment of interest  on borrowings,
the  payment of  operating  expenses  and  income  taxes,  the  receipt  of
insurance premiums and payment of contractual obligations to policyholders,
and net investment revenue.  The Company's increase  in finance charges for
the nine  months ended September 30, 1994, when compared to the same period
in  1993, reflects increases in average finance receivables net of unearned
finance  charges (ANR) and an increase in yield (finance charges annualized
as  a percentage of ANR).   The increase  in interest expense  for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994, when compared to the same  period in 1993,
reflects increases  in average  borrowings  and short-term  borrowing  cost
which more than offset a decline in long-term borrowing cost.  The increase
in operating  expenses for the nine  months ended September  30, 1994, when
compared to the  same period in 1993, reflects an  increase in salaries and
data processing expenses.

Investing  Activities.   Net  cash flows from  investing activities include
funding finance receivables originated or purchased, which is the Company's
primary  requirement  for  cash,  and  principal  collections  on   finance
receivables,  which is  the  Company's primary  source  of cash.    Finance
receivables originated  or purchased  increased for the  nine months  ended
September 30, 1994, when compared to the same period in 1993, primarily due
to  business  development  efforts.    Principal  collections  on   finance
receivables  increased for the nine  months ended September  30, 1994, when
compared to  the same period in 1993, primarily  due to the higher level of
ANR.   Also included in  net cash flows  from investing activities  are the
marketable securities  purchased and sold  by the insurance  operations and
the change in notes receivable from parent and affiliates.

Financing  Activities.     To  the  extent net  cash  flows from  operating
activities  do  not match  net cash  flows  from investing  activities, the
Company  adjusts its financing activities accordingly.  Net cash flows from
financing activities include proceeds from  issuance of long-term debt  and
short-term debt as major sources of funds, and repayment of such borrowings
and  the  payment of  dividends  as major  uses of  funds.   The  amount of
dividends  AGFC may  pay is  limited by  restrictions contained  in certain
financing  agreements.  The Company's  issuances of long-term  debt and the
increase  in short-term notes payable  for the nine  months ended September
30,  1994  reflect the  funding  of asset  growth  and  maturing issues  of
long-term obligations.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 8

The  Company obtains funds by  the issuance of  commercial paper, long-term
debt, and  through bank  borrowings.  The  Company's mix of  fixed-rate and
floating-rate debt is  an internal decision based in part  on the nature of
the assets being  supported.   The Company  limits its  exposure to  market
interest rate increases by fixing interest rates it pays  for term periods.
The  primary means by  which the Company  accomplishes this is  through the
issuance of  fixed-rate debt.   On  occasion, AGFC has  also used  interest
conversion agreements  and options  on  interest conversion  agreements  to
synthetically create  fixed-rate debt by  altering the nature  of floating-
rate  debt,  thereby limiting  its  exposure  to  interest rate  movements.
Certain  debt agreements of the  Company contain restrictive covenants that
limit  the amount  of  various levels  of  debt based  upon  maintenance of
defined ratios.

Credit Ratings.   Debt ratings  for AGFC  did not change from  December 31,
1993.  On October  20, 1994,  Standard & Poor's  (S&P) placed  the debt and
claims-paying ability ratings of American  General and  its subsidiaries on
CreditWatch with negative  implications as a result of  recent developments
connected with  American  General's merger  offer  to acquire Unitrin, Inc.
S&P has indicated that any  change in AGFC's ratings  will depend  on their
assessment of how such a purchase  may affect American  General's resulting
financial structure.

Credit  Facilities.    Credit  facilities are  maintained  to  support  the
issuance  of commercial paper by AGFC and  as an additional source of funds
for  operating requirements.    At September  30, 1994,  the Company  had a
committed  credit facility of $500.0  million and was  an eligible borrower
under  $2.5 billion  of committed  credit facilities  extended  to American
General and certain of  its subsidiaries.  The  annual commitment fees  for
all committed facilities ranged from .08% to .125%.  At September 30, 1994,
the  Company also had $381.0  million of uncommitted  credit facilities and
was  an eligible  borrower  under  $195.0  million  of  uncommitted  credit
facilities extended  to American General  and certain of  its subsidiaries.
Available  borrowings  under  all facilities  are  reduced  by any  amounts
outstanding  thereunder.    At  September  30,  1994,  Company   borrowings
outstanding  under all credit facilities were $185.8 million with remaining
availability to the  Company of  $3.0 billion in  committed facilities  and
$388.6 million in uncommitted facilities.

On  October 14, 1994, the $2.5 billion  of committed credit facilities that
were  extended  to  American  General  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries,
including  the  Company,  were  replaced  with  two  new  committed  credit
facilities  totalling  $2.5  billion that  are  also  extended to  American
General and certain of its subsidiaries, including the Company.  The annual
commitment fees for the replacement facilities range from .07% to .125%.

Analysis of Operating Results

Net income  was $62.7 million and  $172.6 million for the  three months and
nine months ended  September 30, 1994, compared to $50.1 million and $138.9
million for  the same  1993 periods.   Income  before cumulative  effect of
accounting  changes  was $62.7  million and  $172.6  million for  the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1994, compared  to $50.1 million
and $151.5 million for the same 1993 periods.

Finance  Charges.    Changes  in finance  charge  revenues,  the  principal
component of  total revenues, are a function of period to period changes in
the levels  of ANR and  yield.  ANR  for the three  months and  nine months
ended September 30,  1994 increased when  compared to the  same periods  in
1993.  Finance  receivables increased primarily due  to finance receivables
originated or renewed by  the Company due to business  development efforts.
The yield during the three months  and nine months ended September 30, 1994
also increased when compared to  the same periods in 1993 primarily  due to
the  increased proportion of higher-rate,  non-real estate secured loans in
the loan portfolio. 

Insurance  Revenues.  Insurance revenues increased for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1994,  when compared to the same periods in
1993,  primarily due to  an increase in  earned premiums.   Earned premiums
increased primarily due  to increased  written premiums  in prior  periods,
resulting from increased loan activity, and reinsurance assumptions.

Other Revenues.  Other revenues for the three months and  nine months ended
September 30, 1994  increased when  compared to  the same  periods in  1993
primarily  due to an increase in  interest revenue on notes receivable from
parent  and  affiliates  and  a  decrease  in  writedowns  on  real  estate
foreclosures,  partially offset by a  decrease in investment  revenue.  The
increase in interest revenue on notes receivable from parent and affiliates
is primarily due to  the increase in borrowings by  AGFI from AGFC to  fund
purchases of credit  card finance  receivables from a  subsidiary of  AGFI.
The  decrease in investment revenue  resulted from a  decline in investment
portfolio yields  partially  offset  by an  increase  in  invested  assets.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 11

Investment portfolio yields declined primarily due to prepayments of higher
yielding investments and lower reinvestment rates in recent years.

Interest Expense.   Changes in interest expense are a function of period to
period  changes  in   average  borrowings  and  borrowing  cost.    Average
borrowings for  the three months and  nine months ended September  30, 1994
increased when compared to the same periods in 1993 primarily to fund asset
growth.   The  borrowing cost for  the three  months and  nine months ended
September 30, 1994 decreased when compared  to the same periods in 1993 due
to lower long-term borrowing cost partially offset by an increase in short-
term borrowing cost.  

Operating  Expenses.   Operating  expenses for  the  three months  and nine
months ended September 30, 1994 increased when compared to the same periods
in 1993.   The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and data
processing expenses.  The increase in salaries expense was primarily due to
operational staffing increases  to support the  Company's growth and  merit
salary  increases.  The increase  in data processing  expense was primarily
due  to  equipment  expenses  resulting from  a  branch  office  automation
program.   The increase  in operating expenses  was partially offset  by an
increase in deferral of finance receivable origination costs.

Provision for Finance  Receivable Losses.  Provision for finance receivable
losses for  the  three months  and  nine months  ended September  30,  1994
increased when  compared to the same  periods in 1993, due  to increases in
net  charge-offs  and  amounts  provided  for  the  allowance  for  finance
receivable  losses.   Net  charge-offs increased  due  to the  increase  in
charge-off rates on non-real  estate loans and retail sales  contracts, the
increase  in ANR, and the  increased proportion of  non-real estate secured
loans in the loan portfolio.  As expected, the increased proportion of non-
real estate  loans in  the loan portfolio  has contributed  to both  higher
charge-off rates  and  corresponding  higher yields.    The  allowance  for
finance  receivable losses  increased  primarily to  bring  the balance  to
appropriate levels based upon the balance of finance receivables, portfolio
mix, levels of delinquency, net charge-offs, and the economic climate.  

Insurance Losses and Loss  Adjustment Expenses.  Insurance losses  and loss
adjustment  expenses for the three  months and nine  months ended September
30, 1994 increased when compared to  the same periods in 1993 primarily due
to  increased claims and reserves  resulting from the  increase in premiums
written due to increased loan activity and reinsurance assumptions.

Provision  for Income  Taxes.   Provision for  income  taxes for  the three
months and nine months  ended September 30, 1994 increased when compared to
the same periods in 1993, primarily due to higher taxable income.

Cumulative  Effect  of  Accounting Changes.    The  adoption  of three  new
accounting  standards, effective January 1, 1993,  resulted in a cumulative
adjustment  consisting of a one-time  charge to earnings of $12.6  million.
Other  than  the  cumulative  effect,  adoption  of  these  new  accounting
standards has not had  a material effect on net income and  is not expected
to have a material impact in the future.

                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

Other than  the  lawsuits or  proceedings  disclosed previously,  AGFC  and
certain  of its subsidiaries are  defendants in various  other lawsuits and
proceedings  arising in  the  normal  course  of  business.    Although  no
assurances can be given and no determination can be made at this time as to
the  outcome  of  any  particular  lawsuit  or  proceeding,  AGFC  and  its
subsidiaries believe that there  are meritorious defenses for all  of these
claims and are defending them  vigorously.  The Company also believes  that
the total amounts that would ultimately be paid, if any, arising from these
claims  would have no material effect on the Company's consolidated results
of operations and consolidated financial position.
