ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On August 14, 1995, each of Automobile Credit Fund 1991-III, Inc.,
Automobile Credit Finance, Inc., Automobile Credit Partners, Inc., Automobile
Credit Finance 1992-II, Inc., Automobile Credit Finance III, Inc., Automobile
Credit Finance IV, Inc., Automobile Credit Finance V, Inc., and Automobile
Credit Finance VI, Inc. (collectively the "Debtors" and individually a
"Debtor") filed a petition in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern
District of Texas, Dallas Division ("Court") seeking protection under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Code") under Case Nos.
395-34981-RCM-11 through 395-34988-SAF-11. These Cases have been consolidated
for purposes of joint administration under Case No. 395-34981-RCM-11.
All of the Debtors are subsidiaries of Search Capital Group, Inc.
("Search"). Search has not sought protection under the Code. Search has
assets that are not owned by the Debtors and not subject to the foregoing
bankruptcy proceedings.
The Debtors and Search, as co-proponents, filed, on August 17, 1995, a
joint plan of reorganization ("Joint Plan") for the Debtors. The Joint Plan
has been amended several times as a consequence of negotiations with the
official creditors' committee of the Debtors. Final effectiveness of the Joint
Plan is dependent on its confirmation by the Court. There can be no assurance
that the Joint Plan, as amended, will be confirmed or become effective. The
Joint Plan currently provides for, among other things, the issuance of a
substantial number of shares of Search Common Stock, shares of a new class of
voting convertible preferred stock of Search, and warrants to purchase shares
of Search Common Stock. These shares would be issued to the holders of the
secured indebtedness of the Debtors, and such indebtedness would be canceled.
The Joint Plan, as currently proposed, also provides for a liquidation
option (the "Liquidation Option") for those Debtors whose claimholders elect
not to accept Search's securities. Under the Liquidation Option of the Joint
Plan for a Debtor, the Debtor would transfer its receivables to a liquidating
trust which would either sell the receivables or engage a new servicer to
collect the receivables and distribute the proceeds to the claimholders.
Search's Board of Directors intends to submit for approval of Search's
shareholders a proposed amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation to
increase its authorized shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Such
amendment will be necessary to permit the issuance of sufficient shares to
confirm the Joint Plan.
