ITEM 1.    BUSINESS.

INTRODUCTION

         The following discussion relates to FINOVA Capital Corporation
(formerly known as Greyhound Financial Corporation) and its subsidiaries
(collectively "FINOVA" or the "Company"), including Ambassador Factors
("Ambassador") acquired on February 14, 1994 and TriCon Capital ("TriCon")
acquired on April 30, 1994. Both Ambassador and TriCon were merged into FINOVA
in 1994.

         FINOVA is a wholly owned subsidiary of the FINOVA Group Inc. ("FINOVA
Group"). FINOVA Group is the successor to the former financial services
businesses of The Dial Corp ("Dial"). On March 18, 1992, Dial consummated the
spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of FINOVA Group by distributing one share of FINOVA
Group's common stock (the "shares") for every two shares of Dial common stock
held by each stockholder. Prior to the Spin-Off, Dial contributed to the Company
its 100% interest in FINOVA Capital Limited ("FCL") (formerly known as Greyhound
European Financial Group), Dial's European commercial and consumer finance
businesses not previously managed by the Company, and Greyhound BID Holding
Corp. ("Greyhound BID") and contributed all of the common stock of the Company 
to FINOVA Group.

         The historical consolidated financial statements of FINOVA have been
retroactively restated to include the accounts and results of operations of FCL
and Greyhound BID for all periods presented as if a pooling of interests of
companies under common control occurred. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

GENERAL

         FINOVA is a financial services company primarily engaged in providing
collateralized financing and leasing products to commercial enterprises in
focused market niches, principally in the United States.

         FINOVA was incorporated in 1965 in Delaware and is the successor to a
California corporation that commenced operations in 1954. FINOVA has conducted
business continuously since that time. Foreign financial services are provided
primarily in the United Kingdom, where FCL has provided such services since
1964. Domestic and foreign financial operations prior to the Spin-Off had been
conducted independently of each other for many years. Following the Spin-Off,
they have been conducted as a consolidated enterprise; however, subsequent to
the Spin-Off, FINOVA announced its intention to phase out the London based
financing operations of FCL. In early 1996, this phase out was substantially
completed.

         FINOVA extends revolving credit facilities, term loans and equipment
and real estate financing to "middle-market" businesses with financing needs
falling generally between $500,000 to $35 million. FINOVA also offers sales
financing programs to manufacturers, distributors, vendors and franchisors which
facilitate sales of their products to customers. FINOVA currently operates
primarily in 14 specific industry or market niches in which its expertise in
evaluating the creditworthiness of prospective customers and its ability to
provide value-added services enables it to differentiate itself from its
competitors and to command product pricing which provides a satisfactory spread
over the Company's borrowing costs.

         The Company seeks to maintain a high quality portfolio and to minimize
nonearning assets and write-offs by using clearly defined underwriting criteria,
stringent portfolio management techniques and by diversifying its lending
activities geographically and among a range of industries, customers and loan
products. Because of the diversity of the Company's portfolio, the Company
believes it is better able to manage competitive changes in its markets and to
withstand the impact of deteriorating economic conditions on a regional or
national basis, although there can be no assurance that competitive changes,
borrowers' performance or economic conditions will not result in an adverse
impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

         FINOVA generates interest and other income through charges assessed on
outstanding loans, loan servicing, leasing and other fees. FINOVA's primary
expenses are the costs of funding its loan and lease business (including
interest paid on debt), provisions for possible credit losses, marketing
expenses, salaries and employee benefits, servicing and other operating expenses
and income taxes.

LINES OF BUSINESS

FINOVA's activities currently include the following principal lines of business:

           *      Commercial Equipment Finance offers equipment leases, loans
                  and "turnkey" financing to the supermarket, manufacturing,
                  packaging and general aviation industries. Typical transaction
                  sizes are $500,000 to $15 million.

           *      Commercial Finance offers collateral-oriented revolving credit
                  facilities and term loans for manufacturers, distributors,
                  wholesalers and service companies. Typical transaction sizes
                  range from $500,000 to $3 million.

           *      Commercial Real Estate Finance provides cash-flow-based
                  financing primarily for acquisitions and refinancings to
                  experienced real estate developers and owner/occupants of
                  income-producing properties in the United States. FINOVA
                  concentrates on secured financing opportunities, generally
                  between $5 million and $25 million, involving senior mortgage
                  term loans on owner-occupied commercial real estate. FINOVA's
                  portfolio of real estate leveraged leases is also managed as
                  part of the commercial real estate portfolio.

           *      Communications Finance specializes in radio and television
                  financing. Other markets include cable television, print and
                  outdoor media services in the United States. FINOVA extends
                  secured loans to communications businesses requiring funds for
                  recapitalizations, refinancings or acquisitions. Loan sizes
                  generally are from $1 million to $40 million.

           *      Corporate Finance provides financing, generally in the range
                  of $2 million to $40 million, focusing on middle market
                  businesses nationally, including distribution, wholesale,
                  specialty retail, manufacturing and services industries. The
                  group's lending is primarily in the form of revolving credit
                  facilities and term loans secured by the assets of the
                  borrower, with significant emphasis on the borrower's cash
                  flow as the source of repayment of the secured loan.

           *      Factoring Services provides full service factoring and
                  accounts receivable management services for entrepreneurial
                  and larger firms, operating primarily in the textile and
                  apparel industries. The annual factored volume of these
                  companies is generally between $5 million and $25 million.

           *      Franchise Finance offers equipment, real estate and
                  acquisition financing programs for operators of established
                  franchise concepts. The equipment leased to the ultimate
                  end-user is typically purchased by FINOVA from the equipment
                  manufacturer, vendor or dealer selected by the end-user.
                  Transaction sizes generally range from $500,000 to $15 
                  million.

           *      Government Finance provides primarily tax-exempt financing to
                  state and local governments and non-profit corporations.
                  Typical transaction sizes range from $100,000 to $5 million.

           *      Inventory Finance provides inventory financing, combined
                  inventory/accounts receivable lines of credit and purchase
                  order financing for equipment distributors, value-added
                  resellers and dealers. Transaction sizes generally range from
                  $500,000 to $30 million.

           *      Manufacturer and Dealer Services provides point-of-sale
                  financing programs and support services for regional and
                  national manufacturers, distributors and vendors of equipment
                  classified as "small ticket" in transaction size (generally
                  transactions with an equipment cost of less than $100,000).
                  The equipment which FINOVA leases to the ultimate end-user is
                  typically sold to FINOVA by the vendor participating in the
                  financing program.

           *      Medical Finance offers a full range of equipment and real
                  estate financing and asset management services for the U.S.
                  health care industry, targeting middle market health care
                  providers in the United States. Transaction sizes typically
                  range from $500,000 to $25 million.

           *      Rediscount Finance offers $1 million to $35 million revolving
                  credit lines to regional consumer finance companies, which in
                  turn extend credit to consumers. FINOVA's customers provide
                  credit to consumers to finance home improvements, automobile
                  purchases, insurance premiums and a variety of other financial
                  needs.

           *      Resort Finance focuses on successful, experienced resort
                  developers, primarily of timeshare resorts, second home resort
                  communities, golf resorts and resort hotels. Extending funds
                  through a variety of lending options, Resort Finance provides
                  loans and lines of credit ranging from $5 million to $30
                  million for construction, acquisitions, receivables financing
                  and purchases and other uses. Through FINOVA Portfolio
                  Services, Inc., Resort Finance offers expanded convenience and
                  service to its customers. Professional receivables collections
                  and cash management give developers the ability of having
                  loan-related administrative functions performed for them by
                  FINOVA.

           *      Transportation Finance/Capital Services structures secured
                  financings for specialized areas of the transportation
                  industry, principally involving domestic and foreign used
                  aircraft, some new aircraft, as well as domestic short-line
                  railroads including new and used rail equipment. Typical
                  transactions range from $5 million to $30 million and involve
                  financing up to 80% of the fair market value of used equipment
                  and as equity participants in leveraged lease transactions.
                  Traditionally focused on the domestic marketplace, FINOVA
                  Transportation Finance has been active in international
                  aircraft lending and leasing since 1992 through an office in
                  London, England. Through its Capital Services activity, FINOVA
                  also provides leveraged lease financing on transportation
                  equipment.

PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION

         The total assets under the management of the Company consist of the
Company's net investment in financing contracts plus certain assets that are
owned by others but managed by the Company and are not reported on the
Company's balance sheet ("securitized assets").

         The Company's investment in financing transactions is primarily settled
in U.S. dollars, except for approximately $36 million, $87 million and $100
million at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, which is primarily
due in British pounds. The exchange rate of British pounds to dollars at
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was 1.55:1, 1.57:1 and 1.48:1, respectively.

INVESTMENT IN FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

         The following tables detail FINOVA's investment in financing
transactions (before reserve for possible credit losses) at December 31, 1995,
1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"),
in-substance foreclosed assets are accounted for as loans, rather than
repossessed assets. The Company adopted SFAS 114, effective January 1, 1995,
resulting in the reclassification of nonaccruing in-substance foreclosed assets
to nonaccruing loans. The tables for years prior to 1995 have been restated to
reflect this change in classification; accordingly, in-substance foreclosed
assets of $25.3 million, $31.7 million, $13.2 million and $0 have been
reclassified from repossessed assets to loans at December 31, 1994, 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively.

at December 31, 1995, which applies to $35.2 million of the $94.3 million of
impaired loans. The remaining $124.6 million of the reserve for possible credit
losses is designated for general purposes and represents management's estimate
of the amount to cover potential losses in the portfolio considering

         COST AND UTILIZATION OF BORROWED FUNDS

         FINOVA relies on borrowed funds as well as internal cash flow to
finance its operations. FINOVA follows a policy of relating provisions under its
loans and leases to the terms on which it obtains funds so that, to the extent
feasible, floating-rate assets are funded with floating-rate borrowings and
fixed-rate assets are funded with fixed-rate borrowings. For further discussion
on FINOVA's debt and matched funding policy, see Notes E and F of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Annex A.

         Following are the ratios of income to combined fixed charges and

=============        ================       ================        ================       ================
</TABLE>

         Variations in interest rates generally do not have a substantial impact
on the ratio because fixed-rate and floating-rate assets are generally matched
with liabilities of similar rate and term.

         Income available for fixed charges, for purposes of the computation of
the ratio of income to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends,
consists of the sum of income before income taxes and fixed charges. Combined
fixed charges include interest and related debt expense and a portion of rental
expense determined to be representative of interest and preferred stock
dividends grossed up to a pre-tax basis.

         For the year ended December 31, 1991, earnings were inadequate to cover
combined fixed charges by $37.0 million. The decline in the ratio in 1991 was
due to restructuring and other charges and transaction costs recorded in the
fourth quarter of 1991. Those charges and costs were recorded in connection with
the Spin-Off.

</TABLE>

         There can be no assurance that FINOVA's ratings will be maintained.
Such ratings can be modified at any time. A credit rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Each rating should be evaluated
independently of any other rating. Neither The FINOVA Group Inc. nor any of
FINOVA's subsidiaries have applied for credit ratings.

         RESIDUAL REALIZATION EXPERIENCE

         In the last 41 years, FINOVA has realized, in the aggregate, proceeds
from the sale of assets upon lease terminations (other than foreclosures) in
excess of carrying amounts; however, there can be no assurance that such results
will be realized in future years. Proceeds actually realized will depend on
current market values for those assets at the time of sale which are generally
beyond the control of the Company, although the Company has some discretion in
the timing of subsequent dispositions of such assets. Sales proceeds upon lease
terminations in excess of carrying amounts are reported as gains when the assets
are sold.

         Income from leasing activities is affected by gains from asset sales
upon lease termination and, hence, can be somewhat less predictable than income
from non-leasing activities. During the five years ended December 31, 1995, the
proceeds to FINOVA from sales of assets upon early termination of leases and at
the expiration of leases have exceeded the respective carrying amounts and
estimated residual values as follows:

<PAGE>   16
         The estimated residual value of direct finance and leveraged lease
assets in the accounts of FINOVA at December 31, 1995 aggregated 19.0% of the
original cost of such assets (10.2% excluding the original costs of the assets
and residuals applicable to real estate leveraged leases, which typically have
higher residuals than other leases). The financing contracts and leases
outstanding at that date had initial terms ranging generally from one to 25
years. The average initial term weighted by carrying amount at inception and the
average remaining term weighted by remaining carrying amount of financing
contracts at December 31, 1995 for financing contracts excluding leveraged
leases were 6.4 and 4.6 years, respectively, and for leveraged leases were
approximately 20 and 13 years, respectively. The comparable average initial term
and remaining term at December 31, 1994 for financing contracts excluding
leveraged leases were 6.5 and 3.7 years, respectively, and for leveraged leases
were approximately 20 and 11 years, respectively. FINOVA utilizes either
employed or outside appraisers to determine the collateral value of assets to be
leased or financed and the estimated residual or collateral value thereof at the
expiration of each lease. Actual proceeds could differ from such appraised
values.

         For a discussion of accounting for lease transactions, refer to Notes A
and C of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Annex A.

         BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND COMPETITION

         FINOVA develops business primarily through direct solicitation by its
own sales force. Customers are also introduced by independent brokers and
referred by other financial institutions.

         At December 31, 1995, FINOVA had 81,821 financing contracts with 65,554
customers (including 881 contracts with consumer finance customers and 75,116
small ticket contracts with 61,347 customers in Manufacturer and Dealer
Services), compared with 88,034 financing contracts with 70,892 customers
(including 2,313 contracts with consumer finance customers and 79,027 small
ticket contracts with 64,886 customers in Manufacturer and Dealer Services) at
December 31, 1994.

         FINOVA is engaged in an extremely competitive activity. It competes
with banks, insurance companies, leasing companies, the credit units of
equipment manufacturers and other finance companies. Some of these competitors
have substantially greater financial resources and are able to borrow at costs
below those of FINOVA. FINOVA's principal means of competition is through a
combination of service, the interest rate charged for money and concentration in
focused market niches. The interest rate it charges for money is a function of
its borrowing costs, its operating costs and other factors. While many of
FINOVA's larger competitors are able to offer lower interest rates based upon
their lower borrowing costs, FINOVA seeks to maintain the competitiveness of the
interest rates it offers by emphasizing strict control of its operating costs.
The Company's ability to manage costs is, in part, dependent on factors beyond
the Company's control, such as the cost of funds, outside litigation expenses
and competitive salaries.

         CREDIT QUALITY

         As a result of the use of clearly defined underwriting standards,
portfolio management techniques, monitoring of covenant compliance and active
collections and workout efforts, FINOVA seeks to maintain a high-quality asset
base.

         RISK MANAGEMENT

         FINOVA generally conducts investigations of its prospective customers
through a review of historical financial statements, published credit reports,
credit references, discussions with management, analysis of location
feasibility, personal visits and collateral appraisals and inspections. In many
cases, depending upon the results of its credit investigations and the nature of
the financing being provided, FINOVA obtains additional collateral or guarantees
from others.

         As part of its underwriting process, FINOVA considers the management,
industry, financial position and level of collateral of a proposed obligor. The
purpose, term, amortization and amount of any proposed transaction generally
must be clearly defined and within established corporate policy. In addition,
underwriters attempt to avoid undue concentrations in any one customer, industry
or regional location.

         -        Management. FINOVA considers the reputation, experience and
                  depth of management; quality of product or service;
                  adaptability to changing markets and demand; and prior
                  banking, finance and trade relationships.

         -        Industry. FINOVA evaluates critical aspects of each industry
                  to which it lends, including general trend, seasonality and
                  cyclicality; governmental regulation; the effects of taxes;
                  the economic value of goods or services provided; and
                  potential environmental or other liability.

         -        Financial. FINOVA's review of a prospective borrower normally
                  includes a thorough analysis of the borrower's financial
                  trends. Items considered include net worth; composition of
                  assets and liabilities; debt service coverage; liquidity;
                  sales growth and earning power; and cash flow generation and
                  reliability.

         -        Collateral. FINOVA regards collateral as an important factor
                  in a credit evaluation and has established maximum loan to
                  value ratios, normally ranging from 60% - 95%, for each of its
                  lines of business.

         The underwriting process includes, in addition to the analysis of the
factors set forth above, the design and implementation of transaction structures
and strategies to mitigate identified risks; a review of transaction pricing
relative to product-specific return requirements and acknowledged risk elements;
a multi-step, interdepartmental review and approval process, with varying levels
of authority based on the size of the transaction; and periodic
interdepartmental reviews and revision of underwriting guidelines.

         FINOVA also monitors portfolio concentrations in the areas of aggregate
exposure to a single borrower and related entities, within a given geographical
area and with respect to an industry and/or product type within an industry.
FINOVA has established concentration guidelines for each line of business.
Geographic concentrations are reviewed periodically and evaluated based on
historical loan experience and prevailing market and economic conditions.

         FINOVA's financing contracts and leases generally require the customer
to pay taxes, license fees and insurance premiums and to perform maintenance and
repairs at the customer's expense. Contract payment rates are based on several
factors, including the cost of borrowed funds, term of contract,
creditworthiness of the prospective customer, type and nature of collateral and
other security and, in leasing transactions, the timing of tax effects and
estimated residual values. In direct finance lease transactions, lessees
generally are granted an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the
lease term at its then fair market value or, in some cases, are granted an
option to renew the lease at its then fair rental value. The extent to which
lessees exercise their options to purchase leased equipment varies from year to
year, depending on, among other factors, the state of the economy, the financial
condition of the lessee, interest rates and technological developments.

         PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

         In addition to the review at the time of original underwriting, FINOVA
attempts to preserve and enhance the earnings quality of its portfolio through
proactive management of its financing relationships with its clients. This
process includes the periodic appraisal or verification of the collateral to
determine loan exposure and residual values; sales of residuals and warrants to
generate supplemental income;

                                       15


<PAGE>   18
and review and management of covenant compliance. The Portfolio Management
department and dedicated personnel within the business units regularly review
financial statements to assess customer cash flow performance and trends;
periodically confirm operations of the customer; conduct periodic reappraisals
of the underlying collateral; seek to identify issues concerning the
vulnerabilities of the customer; seek to resolve outstanding issues with the
borrower; and prepare quarterly summaries of the aggregate portfolio quality and
concentrations for management review.

         Evaluation for loan impairment is performed as a part of the portfolio
management review process. When a loan is determined to be impaired, a
write-down is taken or an impairment reserve is established based on the
difference between the recorded balance of the loan ("carrying amount") and the
relevant measured value.

         DELINQUENCIES AND WORKOUTS

         FINOVA monitors timely payment of all accounts. Generally, when an
invoice is 10 days past due, the customer is contacted, and a determination is
made as to the extent of the problem, if any. A commitment for immediate payment
is pursued and the account is observed closely. If payment is not received after
this contact, guarantors of the account are to be contacted within the next 20
days. If an invoice becomes 31 days past due, it is reported as delinquent. A
notice of default is generally sent prior to an invoice becoming 45 days past
due and, between 60 and 90 days past the due date, if satisfactory negotiations
are not underway, outside counsel is generally retained to help protect FINOVA's
rights and to pursue its remedies.

         When accounts become more than 90 days past due income recognition is
usually suspended, and FINOVA vigorously pursues its legal remedies. Foreclosed
or repossessed assets are considered to be nonperforming, and are reported as
such unless such assets generate sufficient cash to result in a reasonable rate
of return. Such accounts are continually reviewed, and write-downs are taken as
deemed necessary. While pursuing collateral and obligors, FINOVA generally
continues to negotiate the restructuring or other settlement of the debt, as
appropriate.

         Management believes that collateral values significantly reduce loss
exposure and that the reserve for possible credit losses is adequate. For
additional information regarding the reserve for possible credit losses, see
Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Annex A.

         GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

         FINOVA's domestic activities, including the financing of its
operations, are subject to a variety of federal and state regulations such as
those imposed by the Federal Trade Commission, the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Consumer Credit Protection Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act
and the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act. Additionally, a majority of
states have ceilings on interest rates chargeable to customers in financing
transactions. Some of FINOVA's financing transactions are subject to additional
government regulation, such as aircraft leasing, which is regulated by the
Federal Aviation Authority, and communications, which is regulated by the
Federal Communication Commission. FINOVA's international activities are also
subject to a variety of laws and regulations promulgated by the governments and
various agencies of the countries in which the business is conducted.

EMPLOYEES

         At December 31, 1995, the Company had 950 employees. None of such
employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Company believes
its employee relations are satisfactory.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

         The Company's principal executive offices are located in premises
leased from Dial in Phoenix, Arizona. FINOVA operates 46 additional offices in
the United States and one office in Europe. All such properties are leased.
Alternative office space could be obtained without difficulty in the event
leases are not renewed.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         The Company is a party either as plaintiff or defendant to various
actions, proceedings and pending claims, including legal actions, certain of
which involve claims for compensatory, punitive or other damages in significant
amounts. Such litigation often results from the Company's attempts to enforce
its lending agreements against borrowers and other parties to such transactions.
Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and it is possible that some of the
legal actions, proceedings or claims referred to above could be decided against
the Company. Although the ultimate amount for which the Company may be held
liable, if any, is not ascertainable, the Company believes that any resulting
liability should not materially affect the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

         Omitted.

ITEM 5. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY & 
        RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

         There is no market for the Company's common stock or redeemable
preferred stock as the Company is wholly owned by FINOVA Group. The preferred
stock was redeemed through contribution from FINOVA Group in March 1994.
Dividends paid on the common stock for the first through fourth quarters of 1995
were $5,518,000, $5,520,000, $6,044,000 and $5,995,000, respectively. Dividends
paid on the common stock for the first through fourth quarters of 1994 were
$3,600,000, $5,050,000, $5,130,000 and $5,604,000, respectively. 

         The agreements pertaining to senior debt and revolving credit
agreements of FINOVA include various restrictive covenants and require the
maintenance of certain defined financial ratios with which FINOVA has complied.
Under one such covenant, dividend payments are limited to 50 percent of
accumulated earnings after December 31, 1991. As of December 31, 1995, FINOVA 
had $50,121,000 of excess accumulated earnings available for distribution.

                           FINOVA CAPITAL CORPORATION

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion relates to FINOVA Capital Corporation
(formerly known as Greyhound Financial Corporation) and its subsidiaries
(collectively, "FINOVA" or the "Company"), including Ambassador Factors
("Ambassador") acquired on February 14, 1994 and TriCon Capital ("TriCon")
acquired on April 30, 1994. Both Ambassador and TriCon were merged into FINOVA
in 1994.
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         1995 COMPARED TO 1994

         Net income increased 31% during 1995 to $97.6 million from $74.3
million in 1994. The 1994 results include income from Ambassador and TriCon from
the acquisition dates.

         INTEREST MARGINS EARNED. Interest margins earned, which represent the
difference between (a) interest and income earned from financing transactions
and (b) interest expense and depreciation, increased by 39% in 1995 to $339.8
million from $243.7 million in 1994. This increase was driven by a 20% growth in
managed assets (investment in financing transactions plus securitizations).
The primary source of the growth in managed assets was new business, which 
totaled $2.6 billion for 1995 compared to $1.8 billion for 1994, an increase of
43%. Also contributing to the improved margins were the fees associated with 
the factoring business, which recorded factoring volume of $1.1 billion in 1995
compared to $847 million in 1994 and the inventory finance business, which 
recorded floor planning volume of $898 million in 1995 compared to $283 
million in 1994.

         Interest margins earned as a percentage of average earning assets were
5.8% in 1995, compared to 6.0% in 1994. This reduction in the interest margin
percentage was expected in 1995 primarily due to the cost of hedges that the
Company entered into to lock in the spread between its lending and borrowing
rates on $1.5 billion of its floating-rate debt. Growth in interest margins 
earned more than offset the higher provisions for possible credit losses
and the higher selling, administrative and other operating expenses in the 1995
period.

         NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Loss provisions, which increase the reserve for
possible credit losses ("reserves"), were greater by $30.6 million during 1995
compared to 1994 primarily due to the growth in managed assets. Management
believes that reserve coverage remains adequate at 83.6% of nonaccruing assets
(nonaccruing contracts and repossessed assets) and 2.0% of managed assets.
Details of write-offs and other changes in the reserve for possible credit
losses can be found in Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Selling, administrative and other operating expenses increased by $43
million in 1995 due to the growth of the Company, the large volume of new
business added and the inclusion of TriCon and Ambassador for the full year. As
a percentage of interest margins earned, these costs decreased to 45.6% in 1995
from 46.1% in the previous year. See Note L of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

         GAINS ON SALE OF ASSETS. Gains on sale of assets were $10.7 million
higher in 1995 compared to 1994 primarily due to the inclusion of TriCon for the
full year and the amount and type of assets coming off lease. The 1994 gains of
$9.0 million included $4.0 million (pre-tax) from the securitization of assets
in June 1994.

         INCOME TAXES. Income taxes for 1995 increased to $59.6 million from
$49.4 million in 1994. This increase was caused by the increase in pre-tax
income, partially offset by certain tax credits recognized during 1995. The 1995
overall effective income tax rate for the Company approximated

                                        1


<PAGE>   29
                           FINOVA CAPITAL CORPORATION

37.9% compared to 40.0% in 1994. The decrease in the effective rate is primarily
related to lower foreign tax effects and an increase in tax exempt municipal
income. Details can be found in Note H of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

         1994 COMPARED TO 1993

         Net income increased 104% during 1994 to $74.3 million from $36.4
million in 1993. The 1994 results included income for Ambassador and TriCon from
the acquisition dates. Net income in 1993 included a $4.9 million adjustment for
tax rate increases applicable to deferred income taxes generated by the
Company's leveraged lease portfolio.

         INTEREST MARGINS EARNED. Interest margins earned increased to $243.7
million in 1994 from $122.5 million in 1993, an increase of 99%. This increase
was driven by portfolio growth, together with the addition of TriCon and
Ambassador in 1994. The primary source of the portfolio growth was new business,
which totaled $1.8 billion for 1994 compared to $1.0 billion for 1993, an
increase of 80%.

         Interest margins earned, measured as a percent of average earning
assets, were 6.0%. This measurement compares to 5.2% for the 1993 period and
reflects the contributions of the acquisitions made in 1994, the continuing
healthy returns of the charter financial operations and the Company's access to
lower cost capital. Growth in interest margins more than offset the higher
provisions for possible credit losses and the higher selling, administrative and
other operating expenses.

         NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Loss provisions, which increase the reserve for
possible credit losses ("reserve"), were greater by $11.0 million during 1994
compared to 1993. The greater loss provisions were consistent with the
requirements of a larger portfolio and the loss experience of the businesses
acquired. Higher interest margins generated by Ambassador and certain TriCon
businesses are used to cover the risk profiles associated with those businesses.
Management believes that reserve coverage was adequate at 72.4% of nonaccruing
assets and at 2.1% of managed assets. Details of the write-offs by line of
business, as well as changes in the reserve for possible credit losses, can be
found in Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Selling, administrative and other operating expenses increased by $54.1
million in 1994, which was consistent with the growth in assets. As a percent of
interest margins earned, these expenses were 46.1% (for the combined entities)
in 1994, an improvement over 47.5% in 1993 (which excluded TriCon and
Ambassador). See Note L of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         GAINS ON SALE OF ASSETS. Gains on sale of assets were $3.6 million
higher in 1994 compared to 1993. The increase principally was the result of a
$4.0 million ($2.4 million after-tax) gain from the securitization of assets
recorded in 1994, which was consistent with TriCon's historical experience
related to asset securitizations.

         INCOME TAXES. Income taxes for 1994 increased to $49.4 million from
$27.7 million in 1993. This increase is attributable to: (a) higher income
before income taxes; (b) higher state income tax rates in 1994 because of the
apportionment of the Company's assets to states with higher income tax rates and
(c) increased foreign income taxes due to an increase in foreign income. The
overall effective income tax rate for the Company, including both federal and
state income taxes, approximates 40.0% for 1994 and 35.6% for 1993, excluding
the $4.9 million tax adjustment for the Company's leveraged lease portfolio. See
Note H of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Managed assets increased by $1.2 billion to $7.1 billion at December
31, 1995 from $5.9 billion at December 31, 1994. This increase primarily is
attributable to the $2.6 billion of new business generated in 1995 and portfolio
acquisitions of $262 million, less portfolio amortization.

                                        2


<PAGE>   30
                           FINOVA CAPITAL CORPORATION

         The reserve for possible credit losses increased by $18.1 million in
1995 to $140.3 million. The increase in the reserve consisted primarily of
increases due to loss provisions of $47.3 million which were applicable to
portfolio growth, partially offset by decreases due to write-offs of $35.5
million. See Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Nonaccruing assets decreased to $167.9 million at December 31, 1995
from $168.8 million at December 31, 1994. When measured as a percent of managed
assets, nonaccruing assets declined to 2.4% at December 31, 1995 from 2.9% at
December 31, 1994. For more information on write-offs and nonaccruing assets see
Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         The Company had total debt of approximately $5.6 billion or 6.6 times
its equity base of $855.6 million at December 31, 1995. The Company also had
deferred income taxes of $227.8 million, generally used to reduce debt and,
therefore, help finance lending activities.

         Growth in funds employed is generally financed by internally generated
cash flow and additional borrowings. During 1995, FINOVA issued $1.3 billion in
new senior debt, which, together with general corporate funds and net commercial
paper borrowings, was used to finance new business, acquire portfolios and
redeem or retire $570 million of debt.

         FINOVA satisfies a significant portion of its cash requirements from a
diversified group of worldwide funding sources and is not dependent upon any one
lender. Additionally, FINOVA relies on the issuance of commercial paper as a
major funding source. During 1995, FINOVA issued $16.1 billion of commercial
paper (with an average of $2.2 billion outstanding during the year) and raised
$1.3 billion, as noted above, through new long-term financings of one to 10 year
durations. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, commercial paper and short-term bank
borrowings totaling $2.4 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, were supported
by available unused revolving credit lines which, if not renewed, are
convertible to long-term debt at FINOVA's option.

         In 1994, FINOVA filed a shelf-registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that allowed for the issuance of $1.0
billion of senior debt securities, all of which was used as of December 31,
1995. In 1995, FINOVA filed an additional shelf registration statement with the
SEC allowing for the issuance of $1.5 billion of senior debt securities, $1.2
billion of which remained available as of December 31, 1995. Also in 1995, the
Company, under a securitization agreement, sold a $200 million undivided
proportionate interest in a loan portfolio totaling $610.5 million. See Note C 
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

         FINOVA currently maintains a five-year revolving credit facility with
numerous lenders, in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion.
Separately, FINOVA also has a 364 day revolving credit facility with the same
lenders in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion and has another
four-year  facility with numerous lenders for $700 million. All of these
facilities support FINOVA's outstanding commercial paper and short-term
borrowings. The Company intends to borrow under the domestic revolving credit
agreements to refinance commercial paper and short-term bank loans to the
extent that it experiences significant difficulties in rolling over its
outstanding commercial paper and short-term bank loans. The Company rarely
borrows under these facilities. The 364 day $1.0 billion revolving credit
agreements will be subject to renewal in 1996, while the four and five year
$700 million and $1.0 billion credit facilities are subject to renewal in 1999
and 2000, respectively.

         The agreements pertaining to long-term debt of FINOVA include various
restrictive covenants and require the maintenance of certain defined financial
ratios with which FINOVA has complied. Under one such covenant, dividend
payments are limited to 50 percent of accumulated earnings after December 31,
1991.

         FINOVA's aggregate cost of funds increased to 7.2% for 1995 from 6.3%
for 1994 as a result of rising interest rates and the Company's hedging
activities, as further discussed below. The Company's cost of and access to
capital is dependent, in a large part, on its credit ratings. FINOVA has
maintained investment grade ratings since 1976, and received an upgrade in those
ratings from Standard & Poor's Ratings Group and Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
in 1995. Neither The FINOVA Group Inc. nor any of FINOVA's subsidiaries have
applied for credit ratings. FINOVA currently has investment- grade ratings from
the following agencies:

         At December 31, 1995, FINOVA had outstanding 59 interest rate
conversion agreements with notional principal amounts totaling $3.1 billion.
Twenty-four agreements with notional principal amounts of $895 million were
arranged to effectively convert certain floating interest rate obligations into
fixed interest rate obligations and require interest payments on the stated
principal amount at rates ranging from 4.1% to 9.1% (remaining terms of one to
five years) in return for receipts calculated on the same notional amounts at
floating interest rates. In addition, 28 agreements with notional principal
amounts of $1.3 billion were arranged to effectively convert certain fixed
interest rate obligations into floating interest rate obligations and require
interest payments on the stated principal amount at the three month or six month
London interbank offered rates ("LIBOR") (remaining terms of one to seven years)
in return for receipts calculated on the same notional amounts at fixed interest
rates of 4.9% to 7.7%. FINOVA has also entered into seven basis swap agreements
with notional principal amounts of $878 million and remaining terms of two to
three years.

         In 1993, FINOVA entered into four three-year interest rate hedge
agreements on $750 million of floating-rate borrowings. In 1995, FINOVA hedged
an additional $750 million of floating-rate debt through five basis swap
agreements expiring through 1998, to lock in a spread between its lending and
borrowing rates. FINOVA's assets are primarily prime based while a significant
portion of its liabilities are either LIBOR based or tied to the 30-day
commercial paper composite rate. The agreements enable FINOVA to hedge against a
narrowing of the spread between the prime rate (lending rate) and its borrowing
rates (LIBOR and commercial paper). For more information on derivative financial
instruments, see Note F of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

         Following its spin-off from The Dial Corporation in 1992 (the
"Spin-Off"), the Company decided to focus its resources and capital on its
domestic commercial finance activities. The Company embarked on a program of
selling or winding down those activities included in the Spin-Off that were not
associated with the Company's core businesses. The Company concentrated on
redeploying the capital previously invested in such businesses and raised
additional capital to support internal portfolio growth and to make
complementary acquisitions. This strategy has resulted in (i) the managed
liquidation and sale of FINOVA Capital Limited ("FCL"), Dial's former European
financial business, and the Latin American loan portfolios, (ii) an increase
(excluding acquisitions) in FINOVA's domestic loan portfolio each year, (iii)
the acquisition of the asset based lending activity of U.S. Bancorp, (iv) the
acquisition of Ambassador, (v) the acquisition of TriCon and (vi) portfolio
acquisitions of $262 million in 1995.

         In 1994, the Company expanded its debt sources through a $1.0 billion
shelf registration with the SEC. In 1995, the Company further added to its debt
sources through a $1.5 billion shelf registration with the SEC and increased its
revolving credit lines to $2.7 billion. Also in 1995, the Company, under a
securitization agreement, sold a $200 million undivided proportionate interest
in a loan portfolio totaling $610.5 million. See Note C of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further discussion.

         As a result of the execution of its business strategy, management
believes that the Company now ranks among the largest independent commercial
finance companies, based on assets, in the United States, and can direct its
energies primarily to its principal business operations, including those
businesses acquired since the Spin-Off.

         NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement
establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held
and used and long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of. The statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In addition, the statement
requires that certain long-lived assets and intangibles to be disposed of be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The
Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to materially
impact its results of operations or financial position. The Company will adopt
this accounting standard effective January 1, 1996, as required.

         In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," effective for transactions entered into in fiscal
years that begin after December 15, 1995. This statement establishes financial
accounting and reporting for stock-based employee compensation plans, including
stock purchase plans, stock option plans, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights. The Statement allows for a fair value based method of
accounting for employee stock options or similar instruments and encourages a
similar method for all employee stock compensation plans. This method measures
compensation cost at the grant date based on the value of an award and
recognizes it over the service period, usually the vesting period. However, the
Statement also allows an entity to continue measuring compensation cost for such
plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB No. 25"), providing pro forma disclosures are made. The Company expects to
continue to account for its stock- based employee compensation plans using the
method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25 and does not expect that this
accounting standard will materially impact its results of operations or
financial position.

         The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"), as amended by SFAS No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures" ("SFAS 118"), as of January 1, 1995. These statements require that
impaired loans be measured based on the present value of the expected cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the
collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Under SFAS 114, a loan is
considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For the impact and disclosures of
these new standards, see Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         During 1994, FINOVA adopted SFAS No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative
Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The disclosures
required by SFAS No. 119 are included in Notes F and K of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of FINOVA Capital Corporation

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of FINOVA
Capital Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of FINOVA Capital Corporation
and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
                        (Dollars in Thousands in Tables)

NOTE A            SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- The
consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of FINOVA Capital Corporation (formerly known as
Greyhound Financial Corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, "FINOVA" or
the "Company"), including Ambassador Factors ("Ambassador") acquired on February
14, 1994 and TriCon Capital ("TriCon") acquired on April 30, 1994. Both
Ambassador and TriCon were merged into FINOVA in 1994.

         FINOVA Capital Corporation is a financial services company engaged in
providing collateralized financing products to commercial enterprises in various
market niches, principally in the United States.

         These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Described below are those accounting
policies particularly significant to FINOVA, including those selected from
acceptable alternatives.

         USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         FINANCING TRANSACTIONS -- For loans and other financing contracts,
earned income is recognized over the life of the contract, using the interest
method.

         For leases classified as direct financing leases, the difference
between (a) aggregate lease rentals and (b) the cost of the related assets less
estimated residual value at the end of the lease term is recorded as unearned
income. Earned income is recognized over the life of the contracts using the
interest method.

         For operating leases, earned income is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term and depreciation is taken on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful lives of the leased assets.

         Leases that are financed by nonrecourse borrowings and meet certain
other criteria are classified as leveraged leases. For leveraged leases,
aggregate rentals receivable are reduced by the related nonrecourse debt service
obligation including interest ("net rentals receivable"). The difference between
(a) the net rentals receivable and (b) the cost of the asset less estimated
residual value at the end of the lease term is recorded as unearned income.
Earned income is recognized over the life of the lease at a constant rate of
return on the positive net investment, which includes the effects of deferred
income taxes.

         Fees received in connection with loan commitments are deferred in
accounts payable and accrued expenses until the loan is advanced and are then
recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment of the yield. Fees on
commitments that expire unused are recognized at expiration.

         Income recognition is generally suspended for leases, loans and other
financing contracts at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days
past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and
principal becomes doubtful. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes
contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed or when
foreclosed or repossessed assets generate a reasonable rate of return.


                                       13

                           FINOVA CAPITAL CORPORATION

         The reserve for possible credit losses is available to absorb credit
losses. The provision for possible credit losses is the charge to income to
increase the reserve for possible credit losses to the level that management
estimates to be adequate considering delinquencies, loss experience and
collateral. Other factors considered include changes in geographic and product
diversification, size of the portfolio and current economic conditions. Accounts
are either written-off or written-down when the loss is considered probable and
determinable, after giving consideration to the customer's financial condition
and the value of the underlying collateral, including any guarantees. Any
deficiency between the carrying amount of an asset and the net sales price of
repossessed collateral is charged to the reserve for possible credit losses.
Recoveries of amounts previously written-off as uncollectible are credited to
the reserve for possible credit losses.

         Under certain limited recourse provisions of receivable transfer
agreements (securitizations), the Company repurchases defaulted direct financing
leases and subsequently classifies these leases as nonaccruing. If the accounts
require a write-down, they are charged to the reserve for possible credit
losses.

         Repossessed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

         The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan"
("SFAS 114"), as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures" ("SFAS 118"), as of
January 1, 1995. These statements require that impaired loans be measured based
on the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is
collateral dependent. Under SFAS 114, a loan is considered impaired when, based
on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable
to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. These standards do not apply to leasing transactions or to large
groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans. Evaluation for loan impairment is
performed as a part of the portfolio management review process. When a loan is
determined to be impaired, a write-down is taken or an impairment reserve is
established based on the difference between the recorded balance of the loan
("carrying amount") and the relevant measured value. For the impact and
disclosures of these new standards, see Note D of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

         PENSION AND OTHER BENEFITS -- Trusteed, noncontributory pension plans
cover substantially all employees. Benefits are based primarily on final average
salary and years of service. Funding policies provide that payments to pension
trusts shall be at least equal to the minimum funding required by applicable
regulations.

         Other postretirement benefit costs are recorded during the period the
employees provide service to the Company. The Company funds its postretirement
benefit obligation as benefits are paid.

         The Company records postemployment benefit costs at the time employees
leave active service. Postemployment benefits are any benefits other than
retirement benefits.

         SAVINGS PLAN -- The Company participates in the FINOVA Group Inc.
Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan"), a qualified 401(k) program. The Savings Plan
is available to substantially all employees. Voluntary wage reductions may be
elected by the employee ranging from 1% to 22% of taxable compensation. The
Company's matching contributions are based on employee pre-tax salary 
reductions, up to a maximum of 100% of the first 6% of salary contributions, 
the first 3% of which are matched in Company stock through the Employee Stock 
Ownership Plan, discussed below.


                                       14
<PAGE>   42
                           FINOVA CAPITAL CORPORATION

       EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN -- Employees of the Company are eligible
to participate in FINOVA Group's Employee Stock Ownership Plan in the month
following the first twelve consecutive month period during which they have at
least 1,000 hours of service with the Company. Company contributions are made
in the form of matching stock contributions of 100% of the first 3% of salary
reduction contributions made by participants of the Savings Plan.

         Expenses under the Savings Plan and Employee Stock Ownership Plan were
$1.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.4 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

         INCOME TAXES -- Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the estimated future tax effects attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax law.

         CASH EQUIVALENTS -- The Company classifies highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less from date of purchase as cash
equivalents.

         DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- The Company enters into derivative
financial instruments as part of its interest rate risk management. The Company
uses interest rate swaps and interest rate hedge agreements. These interest rate
derivatives are accounted for using settlement or matched swap accounting.
Periodic net cash settlements are recognized when they occur.

         GOODWILL -- The Company amortizes the excess of cost over the fair
value of net assets acquired ("goodwill") on a straight line basis primarily
over 20 years. Goodwill is included in other assets and is reported net of
accumulated amortization. Amortization totaled $8.2 million and $5.8 million for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company
periodically evaluates the carrying value of its intangible assets for
impairment. This evaluation is based principally on projected, undiscounted cash
flows generated by the underlying assets.

         Substantially all of the amortization of goodwill resulting from
acquisitions is tax deductible under Section 197 of the Internal Revenue Code.

         RESIDUAL VALUES -- The Company has a significant investment in residual
values in its leasing portfolios. These residual values represent estimates of
the value of leased assets at the end of the contract terms and are initially
recorded based upon appraisals and estimates. Residual values are periodically
reviewed to determine that recorded amounts are appropriate.

         SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF NONCASH FINANCING ACTIVITIES -- During
1994, FINOVA Group contributed $127.7 million of intercompany loans and other
assets and $25 million of preferred stock to FINOVA as additional paid in
capital.

         RECLASSIFICATIONS -- Certain reclassifications have been made to the
1994 and 1993 financial statements to conform to the 1995 presentation.

NOTE B            ACQUISITIONS

         During 1995, 1994 and 1993, FINOVA, in transactions accounted for as
purchases, acquired various businesses and portfolios. During 1995, the Company
acquired portfolios having a total purchase price of $262 million. In 1994, the
Company acquired TriCon for $344 million in cash, comprised of $1,886 million of
assets and $1,542 million of liabilities and acquisition costs. The cash

         Interest earned from financing transactions with floating interest
rates was approximately $402.0 million in 1995, $269.0 million in 1994 and
$154.0 million in 1993. The adjustments, which arise from changes in index
rates, can have a significant effect on interest earned from financing
transactions; however, the effects on interest margins earned and net income are
substantially offset by related interest expense changes on debt obligations
with floating interest rates. The Company's matched funding policy is more fully
described in Note F.

         At December 31, 1995, the Company had a committed backlog of new
business of approximately $1.1 billion compared to $764.0 million at December
31, 1994. The committed backlog includes lines of credit totaling $629.0 million
and $540.0 million for December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Historically,
the Company has booked a substantial portion of its backlog, although there can
be no assurance that such trend will continue. Loan commitments and lines of
credit have generally the same credit risk as extending loans to borrowers.
These commitments are generally subject to the same credit quality and
collateral requirements involved in lending transactions. Commitments generally
have a fixed expiration and usually require payment of a fee.

         RECEIVABLE TRANSFER AGREEMENTS ("SECURITIZATIONS") -- The Company sells
receivables in transactions subject to limited recourse provisions and remains a
servicer for which it is paid a fee. Normal servicing fees are earned on a level
yield basis over the remaining terms of the related receivables sold.

         During 1995, the Company, under a securitization agreement, sold a $200
million undivided proportionate interest in a loan portfolio totaling $610.5
million. Under this securitization agreement, there is recourse to the Company
based on the outstanding balance of the proportionate interest sold. Under
certain other securitizations, $38.7 million and $58.5 million, as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, of finance lease receivables are the sole
collateral for limited recourse provisions. In addition to such finance lease
receivables, the Company has recourse exposure, at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
limited to $44.7 million and $78.8 million, respectively.

         At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the reserve for possible credit losses
includes approximately $16.0 million and $13.0 million, respectively, of
reserves applicable to securitizations. Previously, these reserves had been
classified as accrued liabilities.

         In addition to the repossessed assets included in the above table, the
Company had repossessed assets with a total carrying amount of $56.6 million and
$55.1 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, which earned income
of $4.2 million and $3.3 million during 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         The total carrying amount of impaired loans was $94.3 million at
December 31, 1995, $17.3 million of which were performing and $77.0 million of
which were nonaccruing. A reserve for possible

credit losses of $16 million has been established for $35 million of nonaccruing
impaired loans. The average carrying amount of impaired loans was $93.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 1995. Income earned on accruing impaired loans
was $4.0 million in 1995 and is recognized in the same manner as it is on normal
accruing loans. Cash collected on all nonaccruing assets is applied to the
carrying amount.

         Under SFAS 114, in-substance foreclosed assets are accounted for as
loans. Accordingly, effective January 1, 1995, $25.3 million of nonaccruing
in-substance foreclosed assets were reclassified from repossessed assets to
nonaccruing contracts. At December 31, 1995, troubled debt restructurings are
included in impaired loans. At December 31, 1994, there were $64.0 million of
troubled debt restructurings classified as rewritten contracts.

         Had all nonaccruing assets outstanding at December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993 remained accruing, income earned would have been increased by approximately
$19 million, $14 million and $11 million, respectively.

NOTE E            DEBT

         The Company satisfies its short-term financing requirements from the
issuance of commercial paper supported by bank lines of credit, other bank
loans and public notes. The Company's commercial paper borrowings are supported
by unused long-term revolving bank credit agreements totaling $2.7 billion.
FINOVA currently maintains a five-year revolving credit facility with numerous
lenders, in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. Separately, FINOVA
also has a 364 day revolving credit facility with the same lenders in the
aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion and has another four-year facility
with numerous lenders for $700.0 million. Under the terms of these agreements,
the Company has the option to periodically select either domestic dollars or
Eurodollars as the basis of borrowings. Interest is based on the lenders' prime
rate for domestic dollar advances or London interbank offered rates ("LIBOR")
for Eurodollar advances. The agreements also provide for a commitment fee on
the unused credit. The 364 day $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement will be
subject to renewal in 1996 while the four and five year $700.0 million and $1.0
billion credit facilities are subject to renewal in 1999 and 2000,
respectively.

</TABLE>

         Annual maturities of senior debt outstanding at December 31, 1995 due
through November 2005 (excluding the amount supported by the revolving credit
agreements expected to be renewed) approximate $568.8 million (1996), $522.9
million (1997), $522.4 million (1998), $374.1 million (1999), $553.1 million
(2000) and $710.1 million (thereafter).

         The agreements pertaining to senior debt and revolving credit
agreements of FINOVA include various restrictive covenants and require the
maintenance of certain defined financial ratios with which FINOVA has complied.
Under one such covenant, dividend payments are limited to 50 percent of
accumulated earnings after December 31, 1991. As of December 31, 1995, FINOVA
had $50.1 million of excess accumulated earnings available for distribution.

         Total interest paid is not significantly different from interest
expense.

NOTE F            DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The Company enters into interest rate swaps and interest rate hedge
agreements as part of its interest rate risk management policy of match funding
its assets and liabilities. The derivative instruments utilized are
straightforward and involve little complexity. The Company continually monitors
its position relative to derivatives and utilizes derivative instruments for
non-trading purposes only.

         The Company utilizes derivative instruments to minimize its exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates. The Company strives to minimize its overall debt
costs while limiting the short-term variability of interest expense and funds
required for debt service. To achieve this objective, the Company diversifies
its borrowing sources (short- and long-term debt with a fixed or a variable
rate) and seeks to maintain a portfolio that is matched funded. The Company's
matched funding policy generally requires that floating-rate assets be financed
with floating-rate liabilities and fixed-rate assets be financed with fixed-rate
liabilities. The Company's matched funding policy requires that the difference
between floating-rate liabilities and floating-rate assets, as measured as a
percent of total assets, should not vary by more than 3% for any extended
period. The amount of derivatives used is a function of this 3% gap policy with
the maturities of the derivatives being correlated to the maturities of the
assets being financed.

         The notional amounts of derivatives do not represent amounts exchanged
by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of FINOVA's exposure through its use
of derivatives. The amounts exchanged are determined by reference to the
notional amounts and the other terms of the derivatives.

         Under interest rate swaps, the Company agrees to exchange with the
counterparty, at specified intervals, the payment streams calculated on a
specified notional amount, with at least one stream based on a floating interest
rate. Generic swap notional amounts do not change for the life of the contract.

<PAGE>   49
                           FINOVA CAPITAL CORPORATION

Amortizing swap notional amounts amortize over the life of the transaction.
Basis swaps involve the exchange of floating-rate indices, such as the prime
rate, the commercial paper composite rate and LIBOR.

         The Company purchased interest rate hedge agreements to reduce the
impact of increases in interest rates on its floating-rate debt. These
agreements effectively lock in a spread of approximately 2.3% between the
Company's borrowing rate, LIBOR, and its lending rate (Prime based). In 1995,
the Company further protected its margins on floating-rate transactions by
entering into basis swaps with a notional amount of $750 million to lock in the
spread between the Company's lending and borrowing rates. With these agreements,
the Company protected its margins on $1.5 billion of floating-rate transactions.

         The Company's off-balance sheet derivative instruments involve credit
and interest rate risks. The credit risk would be the nonperformance by the
counterparties to the financial instruments. All financial instruments have been
entered into with major financial institutions, which are expected to fully
perform under the terms of the agreements, thereby mitigating the credit risk
from the transactions, although there can be no assurance that any such
institution will perform under its agreement. The Company's derivative policy
stipulates that the maximum exposure to any one counterparty, relative to the
derivative products, is limited on a net basis to 10% of the Company's
outstanding debt at the time of that transaction. Interest rate risks relate to
changes in interest rates and the impact on earnings. The Company mitigates
interest rate risks through its matched funding policy.

         The use of derivatives increased interest expense by $9.8 million in
1995, an increase in the aggregate cost of funds of 0.2%; whereas, the use of
derivatives decreased interest expense by $13.7 million in 1994, a reduction in
the aggregate cost of funds of 0.4%, and $25.9 million in 1993, a decrease in
the aggregate cost of funds of 1.3%. These changes in interest expense from
off-balance sheet derivatives effectively alter on-balance sheet costs and must
be viewed as total interest rate management. At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
unamortized premiums amounted to $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
There were no deferred gains or losses associated with derivatives.

NOTE J            LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

         The Company is party either as plaintiff or defendant to various
actions, proceedings and pending claims, including legal actions, certain of
which involve claims for compensatory, punitive or other damages in significant
amounts. Such litigation often results from the Company's attempts to enforce
its lending agreements against borrowers and other parties to such transactions.
Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and it is possible that some of the
legal actions, proceedings or claims referred to above could be decided against
the Company. Although the ultimate amount for which the Company may be held
liable, if any, is not ascertainable, the Company believes that any resulting
liability should not materially affect the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

NOTE K            FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
"Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair
value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market
information and valuation methodologies described below. However, considerable
judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of
fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein may not be indicative of
the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use
of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material
effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

         The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's
financial instruments are as follows for the years ended December 31:

         The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, factored receivables,
accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to clients and interest payable
approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

         The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of other
financial instruments are summarized as follows:

         LOANS AND OTHER FINANCING CONTRACTS:

                  The fair value of loans and other financing contracts was
         estimated by discounting expected cash flows using the current rates at
         which loans of similar credit quality, size and remaining maturity
         would be made as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. Management believes
         that the risk factor embedded in the entry-value interest rates
         applicable to performing loans for


                                       26
<PAGE>   54
                           FINOVA CAPITAL CORPORATION

         which there are no known credit concerns results in a fair valuation of
         such loans on an entry value basis. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
         the fair value of nonaccruing contracts with a carrying amount of
         $117.9 million and $83.0 million, respectively, was not estimated
         because it is not practicable to reasonably assess the credit
         adjustment that would be applied in the marketplace for such loans. As
         of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the carrying amount of loans and other
         financing contracts excludes repossessed assets with a total carrying
         amount of $106.6 million and $140.9 million, respectively.

         SENIOR DEBT:

                  The fair value of senior debt was estimated by discounting
         future cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar
         terms and remaining maturities. The carrying values of commercial paper
         and borrowings under revolving credit facilities, if any, were assumed
         to approximate fair values due to their short maturities.

         INTEREST RATE SWAPS:

                  The fair values of interest rate swaps is based on quoted
         market prices obtained from participating banks and dealers for
         transactions of similar remaining duration.

         INTEREST RATE HEDGE AGREEMENTS:

                  The fair values of interest rate hedge agreements is based on
         quoted market prices obtained from participating banks and dealers for
         transactions of similar remaining duration.

         The fair value estimates presented herein were based on information
available as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. Although management is not aware of
any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair values, such
values have not been updated since December 31, 1995 and 1994; therefore,
current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts
presented herein.

NOTE M            NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long- Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement
establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held
and used and long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of. The statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or


                                       27
<PAGE>   55
                           FINOVA CAPITAL CORPORATION

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. In addition, the statement requires that certain long-lived
assets and intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company does not expect the adoption
of this accounting standard to materially impact its results of operations or
financial position. The Company will adopt this accounting standard effective
January 1, 1996, as required.

         In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," effective for transactions entered into in fiscal
years that begin after December 15, 1995. This statement establishes financial
accounting and reporting for stock-based employee compensation plans, including
stock purchase plans, stock option plans, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights. The Statement requires a fair value based method of
accounting for employee stock options or similar instruments and encourages a
similar method for all employee stock compensation plans. This method measures
compensation cost at the grant date based on the value of an award and
recognizes it over the service period, usually the vesting period. However, the
Statement also allows an entity to continue measuring compensation cost for such
plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
provided pro forma disclosures are made. The Company expects to continue to
account for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the method of
accounting proscribed by APB No. 25 and does not expect this accounting standard
will materially impact its results of operations or financial position.

</TABLE>
(1)  Includes financial results from the acquisitions of Ambassador (February
     14, 1994) and TriCon (April 30, 1994).

(2)  The average rate is calculated based on average earning assets ($5,815,455
     and $4,064,971 for 1995 and 1994, respectively) which are net of average
     deferred taxes on leveraged leases and average nonaccruing assets.

(3)  For the year ended December 31, 1995, excluding the impact of derivatives,
     interest expense would have been $357,017 or 6.1% of average earning assets
     and interest margins earned would have been $349,620 or 6.0% of average
     earning assets. For the year ended December 31, 1994, excluding the impact
     of derivatives, interest expense would have been $235,855 or 5.8% of
     average earning assets and interest margins earned would have been $230,759
     or 5.7% of average earning assets.

(4)  Interest income is shown net of depreciation.
