                          FINOVA CAPITAL CORPORATION

               ANNOUNCES 35% INCREASE IN SECOND QUARTER NET INCOME






PHOENIX, Ariz., July 19, 1995 -- FINOVA Capital Corporation ("FINOVA") (formerly
known as Greyhound Financial Corporation) today reported record results led by
strong new business volume and portfolio growth for the second quarter ended
June 30, 1995.

         Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $23.6 million up from
$17.5 million for the comparable period in 1994, an increase of 35% in net
income.

         Sam Eichenfield, chairman and chief executive officer of FINOVA, said
he was pleased with the company's continued strong growth, the improved earnings
and the strengthened balance sheet during the second quarter of 1995. "We were
able to generate in excess of $1 billion of new revolving or term business and
$800 million of factored volume in the first six months of the year while
increasing our backlog and growing the portfolio at an annual rate slightly in
excess of 17%," Eichenfield said. "At the same time, our portfolio quality
continued to improve, with nonearning assets declining to $164 million or 2.6%
of ending funds employed and securitizations as of June 30, 1995." Eichenfield
also said that "interest margins earned are a healthy 5.8%





                                       3

and the G&A expense ratio continues to improve, declining to 45% of interest
margins earned."

         Interest margins earned, as a percent of average earning assets, were
5.8% for the six months of 1995 compared to 5.9% for the 1994 period. This
reduction in interest margins was expected in 1995 due to the cost of the hedges
that the company entered into to lock in the spread between its lending and
borrowing rates on approximately 50% of its floating-rate debt ($1.5 billion)
and to the diminishing ratio of the higher yielding businesses relative to the
total portfolio.

         The increase in the amount of interest margins earned more than offset
higher provisions for credit losses and higher selling, administrative and other
operating expenses ("G&A expenses"). Loss provisions, which increased by $6.7
million, were due primarily to the growth of the portfolio. The reserves,
including the accrued liabilities for possible credit losses applicable to the
securitized portfolio, were 2.0% of ending funds employed and securitizations
and 78% of nonaccruing assets. G&A expenses for the second quarter of 1995 were
higher than the comparable 1994 period, but declined as a percent of interest
margins earned to 44.8% for the second quarter of 1995 from 47.2% for the first
quarter of 1995 and 46.1% for 1994. Higher G&A expenses are primarily
attributable to the addition of TriCon Capital, acquired in April 1994, as well
as to higher marketing expenses incurred in connection with the higher volume of
new business added during the year, partially offset by lower problem account
costs.

         Income taxes were higher in the second quarter of 1995 due to an
increase in income before income taxes, which more than offset a lower effective
income tax rate resulting from state income tax adjustments. Excluding those
state income tax adjustments, the incremental income tax rate for the company is
approximately 40%.

         FINOVA Capital Corporation is a Phoenix-based major domestic commercial
finance company providing secured financing and leasing products from $500,000
to $35 million to medium sized businesses. FINOVA also offers inventory and
sales financing programs to manufacturers, distributors and dealers nationwide.
