   Item 2.   Other Events.


        On  February  14,  1994,  Greyhound Financial  Corporation  ("GFC"),  a
   wholly-owned  subsidiary of  GFC Financial  Corporation ("GFCFC"),  acquired
   Fleet Factors Corporation, operating under the trade name Ambassador Factors
   ("Ambassador"),  from Fleet Financial  Group, Inc. ("Fleet").   The purchase
   price   of  the  acquisition  was   $257,085,000  in  cash  and  represented
   Ambassador's  stockholder's  equity plus  a  premium  and repayment  of  the
   intercompany  balance  due  from Ambassador  to  Fleet.    GFC financed  the
   acquisition  with proceeds  received from the  sale of  GFCFC's discontinued
   mortgage insurance subsidiary and  cash generated from operations which  was
   previously used to repay outstanding  commercial paper.  GFCFC, simultaneous
   with  the  acquisition,  increased its  investment  in  GFC by  contributing
   $40,000,000 of intercompany loans as additional paid in capital of GFC.

   Item 7.   Financial Statements and Exhibits.

        (a)  Pro Forma Financial Information.

                  The accompanying Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet of GFC,
             as of September 30, 1993, and Pro Forma Statements of Consolidated
             Income for  the nine months ended  September 30, 1993 and  for the
             year ended December  31, 1992  have been prepared  to reflect  the
             historical financial position and results of continuing operations
             as adjusted to reflect the acquisition of Ambassador by GFC.

                  In the  opinion of  management, all adjustments  necessary to
             present fairly  such pro  forma consolidated financial  statements
             have been made.

                  The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet has been prepared as
             if such acquisition occurred on September 30, 1993;  the Pro Forma
             Statements  of Consolidated Income  have been prepared  as if such
             acquisition occurred on  the first day  of the respective  periods
             presented.   The pro  forma consolidated financial  information is
             unaudited  and is not  necessarily indicative of  the results that
             would  have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated as of
             September  30, 1993, or at the beginning of the respective periods
             presented.

                  The pro forma  consolidated financial  information should  be
             read in  conjunction  with the  accompanying  Notes to  Pro  Forma
             Consolidated  Financial Statements and the historical consolidated
             financial  statements of  GFC  and Ambassador  and the  respective
             notes thereto.

             Financial  Corporation, Greyhound Financial  Corporation and Fleet
             Financial Group, Inc. for the purchase of Fleet Factors Corp.*

        liabilities and the  resulting goodwill using the  proceeds advanced to
        GFC upon the sale of GFCFC's discontinued mortgage insurance subsidiary
        and cash generated from  operations which was previously used  to repay
        commercial paper.

   (3)  To record repayment of Ambassador's intercompany payable to Fleet using
        the  proceeds advanced  to GFC  upon the  sale of  GFCFC's discontinued
        mortgage insurance subsidiary and  cash generated from operations which
        was previously used to repay commercial paper.

        issuance of debt noted in items (2) and (3) above in excess of interest
        charged by Fleet on  the intercompany payable, partially offset  by the

        by GFCFC.
