              American General Finance, Inc. and Subsidiaries

            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, Inc.  (AGFI) 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 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  an increase  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, data processing, and advertising expense.

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.

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  ability of AGFI
to pay  dividends is substantially dependent on the receipt of dividends or
other  funds from its subsidiaries.   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's principal  borrowing subsidiary is  American General  Finance
Corporation  (AGFC),  a direct,  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  AGFI.   AGFC
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
financing agreements of  AGFC contain restrictive covenants  that limit the
amount of  dividends AGFC may  pay and  also limit the  amounts 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
committed  credit facilities of $545.0 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 .3125%.   At  September 30,
1994,  the Company also had $621.0 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 $430.8 million with remaining
availability to the  Company of  $3.0 billion in  committed facilities  and
$428.6 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 $63.6 million and  $177.9 million for the  three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1994,  compared to $51.6 million and $143.8
million for the  same 1993  periods.   Income before  cumulative effect  of
accounting  changes  was $63.6  million and  $177.9  million for  the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1994, compared to $51.6  million
and $156.4 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 remained  at near the  same level when  compared to the
same periods  in 1993. The decrease  in investment revenue was  offset by a
decrease in writedowns on real estate foreclosures and the recording of the
gain on the sale of receivables  sold in the fourth quarter of 1993  due to
the  expiration  of the  contingency period.    The decrease  in investment
revenue resulted  from a decline  in investment portfolio  yields partially
offset  by an  increase in  invested assets.   Investment  portfolio yields
declined primarily due  to prepayments of  higher yielding investments  and
lower reinvestment rates in recent years.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 11

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  ended September 30, 1994
remained at near the same  level when compared to the same period  in 1993.
The  borrowing cost for the 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,  data
processing,  and advertising expense.  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 and an  increase in processor fees to  support increased
credit card activity.  The increase in advertising expense was primarily to
generate  growth  in the  finance receivable  portfolio.   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  $12.7 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.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

Other than  the  lawsuits or  proceedings  disclosed previously,  AGFI  and
certain  of its subsidiaries are  defendants in various  other lawsuits and

assurances can be given and no determination can be made at this time as to
the  outcome  of  any  particular  lawsuit  or  proceeding,  AGFI  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
