           AMERICAN GENERAL FINANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                               June 30, 1995 



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 and include  the accounts of  American General Finance
Corporation (AGFC)  and its subsidiaries  (the Company).   The subsidiaries
are 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,  considered necessary  by
management for a fair presentation of  the Company's consolidated financial
position at June 30, 1995  and December 31, 1994, its  consolidated results
of operations  for the three months and six months  ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, and its  consolidated cash flows  for the six  months ended June  30,
1995 and 1994.  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, 1994.  

To conform with  the 1995 presentation, certain  items in the prior  period
have been reclassified.


Note 3.  Accounting Changes

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting  Standards (SFAS) 121, "Accounting  for the Impairment
of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed  Of."  This
statement establishes accounting standards  for 1) the impairment  of long-
lived  assets, certain  identifiable intangibles,  and goodwill  related to
those assets to be held and used in the business, and  2) long-lived assets
and  certain identifiable intangibles to be  disposed of.  This standard is
effective  for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, with earlier
application  encouraged.  Although the Company has not determined when SFAS
121  will be adopted, the Company does  not anticipate a material effect on
net income, liquidity, or capital related to the adoption of this standard.

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


                      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Overview

Management  believes  that  the  overall  sources  of  cash  and  liquidity
available to  the Company  will continue  to be  sufficient to  satisfy its
foreseeable financial obligations and operational requirements.


Operating Activities

Net cash flows  from operating  activities include the  receipt of  finance
charges on  finance receivables,  insurance  premiums, and  net  investment
revenue,  the  payment  of  interest  on  borrowings,  operating  expenses,
contractual obligations to policyholders, and income taxes, and adjustments
for non-cash items which  reconcile net income to  net cash from  operating
activities.   See "Analysis  of Operating  Results" in  Item 2.  herein for
information  on the  Company's revenues  and expenses.   See  the Condensed
Consolidated  Statements of  Cash  Flows included  in  Item 1.  herein  for
adjustments  for non-cash items which reconcile net income to net cash from
operating activities.


Investing Activities

Net  cash  flows   from  investing  activities   include  funding   finance
receivables originated or purchased, the Company's primary requirement  for
cash,  and  principal collections  on  finance  receivables, the  Company's
primary  source of cash.   Net  cash flows  from investing  activities also
include  finance receivables  sold  through securitization  and  marketable
securities purchased and sold by the insurance operations. 

Finance receivables  originated or purchased  increased for the  six months
ended June  30, 1995, when compared  to the same period  in 1994, primarily
due to  business  development  efforts and  the  addition  of  participated
private  label  and  credit  card  finance  receivables  to  the  Company's
portfolio  pursuant to a  participation agreement entered  into on December
31,  1994 with  a subsidiary  of AGFI.   Principal  collections  on finance
receivables increased for the six months ended June 30, 1995, when compared
to the  same period in 1994,  primarily due to the higher  level of average
finance receivables net of unearned finance charges (ANR).

On May  17, 1995,  the Company sold  $100.0 million of  finance receivables
through securitization with limited recourse.  At June 30, 1995, the amount
of  finance  receivables sold  through  securitization  remained at  $100.0
million.    Although  the  Company  continues  to   service  these  finance
receivables,  the  securitization  was  treated  as  a  sale  for financial
reporting purposes.   Accordingly,  the  finance receivables  sold  through
securitization  are not  reflected  on the  Company's  balance sheet.    In
addition,  securitization of  finance  receivables  results in  effectively
recording finance  charge revenues  and  provision for  finance  receivable
losses on such finance receivables sold in other revenues.

<PAGE> 7

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.   The major  sources of cash  flows from  financing
activities include proceeds  from issuance of long-term debt and short-term
debt, and  the major uses of  cash flows from financing  activities include
repayments  of  maturing  debt  and  dividend  payments  to  the  Company's
shareholder.   The amount of dividends  AGFC may pay is effectively limited
by restrictions contained in certain financing agreements.

The Company's issuances of long-term debt for the six months ended June 30,
1995 reflect the funding of asset  growth, the repayment of maturing issues
of long-term  interest obligations,  and the decrease  in short-term  notes
payable.  

The Company obtains funds through the  issuance of a combination of  fixed-
rate debt,  principally  long-term,  and  floating-rate  debt,  principally
short-term.   The  Company's mix  of fixed-rate  and floating-rate  debt is
determined by  management 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 that  it pays for  term periods.   The
primary  means  by  which the  Company  accomplishes  this  is through  the
issuance of fixed-rate debt.  To supplement fixed-rate debt issuances, AGFC
also uses interest conversion  agreements and has used 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.

The Company currently  manages capital  to maintain  its ratio  of debt  to
tangible equity at approximately  6.5:1.  Tangible equity is  calculated as
shareholder's equity less  goodwill and net unrealized investment  gains or
losses on fixed-maturity  marketable securities.   Managing capital to  the
debt to tangible equity ratio resulted in an increase in the debt to equity
ratio at  June 30, 1995  when compared to June  30, 1994, primarily  due to
asset growth and goodwill amortization, partially offset by net  unrealized
investment gains on fixed-maturity marketable securities.


Credit Facilities

Credit  facilities are  maintained to  support the  issuance  of commercial
paper   and  to  provide  an  additional  source  of  funds  for  operating
requirements.   At  June  30,  1995, the  Company  had a  committed  credit
facility of $500.0 million  and was an eligible borrower under $2.8 billion
of  committed credit facilities extended to American General and certain of
its  subsidiaries.  The annual commitment fees for all committed facilities
ranged  from  .07% to  .11%.   The  Company  pays commitment  fees  for the

                       ANALYSIS OF OPERATING RESULTS


Net income increased $6.2 million, or 11%, for the three  months ended June
30, 1995 and $15.7 million,  or 14%, for the six months ended June 30, 1995
when compared to the same periods in 1994.


Finance Charges

Finance charge revenues  increased $107.8  million, or 41%,  for the  three
months  ended June 30, 1995 and $216.1 million,  or 42%, for the six months
ended June  30, 1995  when compared  to the  same periods in  1994, due  to
increases in ANR  and yields.  ANR increased primarily  due to the addition
of  participated private label and  credit card finance  receivables to the
Company's portfolio  pursuant to a participation agreement  entered into on
December 31,  1994 with a  subsidiary of  AGFI and growth  in the loan  and
retail  sales  finance  portfolios  resulting   from  business  development
efforts. The  yield during the three  months and six months  ended June 30,
1995 increased when  compared to the same periods in  1994 primarily due to
higher  yield  on loans  as a  result of  the  amortization of  premiums on
certain purchased  finance receivables  which were  fully amortized in  the
second  quarter of 1994.   The increase in yield  for the  six months ended
June  30, 1995  when compared  to the  same period  in 1994  also reflected
higher yield on retail sales finance.

Insurance Revenues

Insurance  revenues increased $12.8 million,  or 29%, for  the three months
ended June 30, 1995  and $27.7 million,  or 33%, for  the six months  ended
June 30, 1995 when compared to  the same periods in 1994, primarily due  to
an increase in earned premiums.  Earned premiums increased primarily due to
increased  written premiums in  prior periods.   Written premiums increased
primarily due  to increased  loan volumes  and the  introduction  of a  new
insurance product.


Other Revenues

Other revenues decreased  $.2 million,  or 1%, for  the three months  ended
June 30,  1995 and $7.2 million, or 13%, for  the six months ended June 30,
1995 when compared to the same periods  in 1994 primarily due to a decrease
in  interest  revenue  on  notes  receivable  from  parent  and  affiliates
partially  offset by an increase  in servicing fee  income on private label
and credit card finance  receivables, the gain on finance  receivables sold
through  securitization,  and  an  increase  in  investment  revenue.   The
decrease in interest revenue on notes receivable from parent and affiliates
resulted from the  Company purchasing finance receivables,  originated by a
subsidiary of AGFI, pursuant  to a participation agreement entered  into on
December 31, 1994.  Such receivables were previously purchased by AGFI with
funding provided by  AGFC through  an intercompany note.   The increase  in
servicing  fee income  resulted  from the  transfer  of Service  Bureau  of
Indiana, Inc. (SBI), previously a subsidiary of AGFI, to AGFC in the second
quarter of 1995.  SBI  services the private label and credit  card accounts
for  a subsidiary  of AGFI.   The increase  in investment  revenue reflects
growth  in invested  assets, partially  offset by  a decline  in investment
portfolio yields.   Investment portfolio  yields declined primarily  due to
prepayments of higher yielding investments and  lower reinvestment rates in
recent years.


Interest Expense

Interest  expense increased  $30.2 million,  or 31%,  for the  three months
ended June  30, 1995 and $61.9  million, or 33%,  for the six  months ended
June 30, 1995 when compared to  the same periods in 1994, due  to increases
in average borrowings and borrowing cost.  Average borrowings for the three
months and  six months ended June  30, 1995 increased when  compared to the
same periods  in 1994 primarily to  fund asset growth.   The borrowing cost
for  the three  months and six  months ended  June 30,  1995 increased when
compared  to the  same periods  in 1994  due to  an increase  in short-term
borrowing cost, partially offset by a decrease in long-term borrowing cost.
The increase  in borrowing cost contributed  to a decrease in  the ratio of
earnings  to fixed  charges for  the six  months ended  June 30,  1995 when
compared to the same period in 1994.

<PAGE> 11

Operating Expenses

Operating  expenses increased $33.7 million,  or 39%, for  the three months
ended June 30,  1995 and $60.4 million,  or 35%, for  the six months  ended
June 30, 1995 when compared to the  same periods in 1994, primarily due  to
increases in professional services  and salaries expense.  The  increase in
professional services expense was primarily due to service charges incurred
for the  participated private label  and credit  card finance  receivables.
The increase in salaries expense reflects operational staffing increases to
support the Company's growth.


Provision for Finance Receivable Losses

Provision for  finance receivable losses  increased $39.7 million,  or 115%
for the three months ended  June 30, 1995 and  $78.3 million, or 114%,  for
the six months  ended June 30,  1995 when compared  to the same  periods in
1994,  due to increases  in net  charge-offs and  amounts provided  for the
allowance  for finance receivable losses.  Net charge-offs increased due to
the increases in the charge-off ratio and ANR.  Charge-off ratios increased
due to the increase in such ratio on loans and the addition of participated
private label  and credit cards to  the finance receivable portfolio.   The
charge-off ratio on loans  increased primarily due to the increase  in such
ratio  on non-real  estate  loans.   ANR  increased  primarily due  to  the
addition of participated private label and  credit card finance receivables
to  the Company's portfolio and growth  resulting from business development
efforts.  Amounts provided for the allowance for finance receivable  losses
increased primarily to bring  the balance to appropriate levels  based upon
the  balance of finance  receivables, the portfolio mix,  and the trends in
delinquency, net charge-offs, and the economic climate.  


Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Insurance losses  and loss adjustment  expenses increased $8.1  million, or
35%,  for the three months  ended June 30, 1995  and $13.6 million, or 29%,
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 when compared to the same periods in
1994,  primarily due to an increase in  claims and reserves, resulting from
increased insurance premiums written.  The increase in insurance losses and
loss adjustment  expenses  for the  six  months ended  June 30,  1995  when
compared to the same  period in 1994, was partially offset by the effect of
improved loss ratios.


Provision for Income Taxes

Provision  for income taxes  increased $2.5 million,  or 7%, for  the three
months ended  June 30, 1995  and $6.9 million,  or 10%, for  the six months
ended June  30, 1995 when compared  to the same periods  in 1994, primarily
due to higher taxable income.

                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

Other than the lawsuits or proceedings disclosed previously, the Company is
a defendant in various other lawsuits and proceedings arising in the normal
course of  business.   Some  of  these lawsuits  and  proceedings arise  in
jurisdictions such as Alabama that permit punitive damages disproportionate
to the actual damages alleged.  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,  the Company  believes  that there  are meritorious
defenses for all  of these claims  and is 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.
