          NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
              FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

NOTE A   BASIS OF PREPARATION
- ------   --------------------

         The consolidated  financial  statements present the financial position,
results of  operations  and cash  flows of FINOVA  Capital  Corporation  and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "FINOVA" or the "Company"). FINOVA is a wholly owned
subsidiary of The FINOVA Group Inc.

         The interim  consolidated  financial  information is unaudited.  In the
opinion of management all  adjustments,  consisting of normal  recurring  items,
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1997, the
results of operations  for the quarter and nine months ended  September 30, 1997
and 1996 and cash flows for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996,
have been included. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations for the full year.

         Amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 have been restated
to reflect discontinued operations.

NOTE B   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ------   -------------------------------

         In June 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income," which is effective for fiscal years  beginning after December 31, 1997.
The statement  changes the reporting of certain items currently  reported in the
shareowners'  equity section of the balance sheet and establishes  standards for
reporting of  comprehensive  income and its  components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. Management does not expect this standard will have
a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

         In June 1997,  the FASB also issued SFAS No.  131,  "Disclosures  About
Segments of an  Enterprise  and Related  Information,"  which is  effective  for
fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1997. This standard  requires segments
of a business  enterprise to be reported based on the way  management  organizes
and  evaluates   segments  within  the  Company.   The  standard  also  requires
disclosures  regarding  products  and  services,  geographical  areas  and major
customers.  Adoption  of this  standard  will  require  the  Company  to include
additional detail in its disclosures,  including certain disaggregated operating
information.

         The Company plans to adopt both SFAS No. 130 and No. 131 in 1998.

NOTE C   PORTFOLIO QUALITY

         A specific  impairment  reserve of $8.3 million at  September  30, 1997
applies  to $36.5  million  of  impaired  loans  totaling  approximately  $146.3
million.  The remaining $159.5 million of the reserve for possible credit losses
is  designated  for general  purposes and  represents  management's  estimate of
potential losses in the portfolio considering delinquencies, loss experience and
collateral.  Additions  to the general and specific  reserves  are  reflected in
current  operations.  Management may reclassify reserves between the general and
specific reserves as considered necessary.

ITEM 2.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- -------          ---------------------------------------------------------------
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
                 ----------------------

             COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
                   TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

         The following  discussion relates to FINOVA Capital Corporation and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "FINOVA" or the "Company"). FINOVA is a wholly owned
subsidiary  of The FINOVA  Group Inc.  ("FINOVA  Group").  Amounts  for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1996 have been  restated  to reflect  discontinued
operations.

Results of Operations

         Net income and income from  continuing  operations  for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997 were both $103.4  million  compared to net income of
$85.0  million and income from  continuing  operations  of $86.1 million for the
first nine months of 1996.

         Interest Margins Earned.  Interest margins earned,  which represent the
difference  between (a) interest and income earned from  financing  transactions
and  operating  lease  income  and (b)  interest  expense  and  depreciation  on
operating leases, were $326.5 million for the first nine months of 1997 compared
with  $271.5  million  during the same period in 1996,  an increase of 20%.  The
increase  was  primarily  due  to a  16%  increase  in  average  managed  assets
(investments in financing  transactions plus  securitizations and participations
sold) during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the first nine
months of 1996. In addition,  interest margins earned as a percentage of average
earning  assets for the first nine months of 1997 increased to 6.0% from 5.9% in
1996. The higher margin  percentages are primarily the result of a lower cost of
funds and lower debt leverage.
                                       6

         Provision for Possible Credit Losses. The provision for possible credit
losses  increased to $48.3 million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997
compared to $31.2  million for the first nine  months of 1996.  The  increase is
primarily  attributable  to the growth in managed  assets  during the first nine
months  of  1997,  coupled  with  reserve   requirements  related  to  increased
write-offs in the Company's Factoring portfolio. Write-offs for the remainder of
the Company  were lower on an aggregate  basis  through the first nine months of
1997 compared to the same period one year ago.

         Gains on Sale of Assets.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
the Company  recorded $22.4 million in gains on sale of assets  compared to $8.4
million  in  the  first  nine  months  of  1996.  This  increase  was  primarily
attributable  to a gain resulting  from the sale of the Company's  interest in a
real estate leveraged lease transaction. Gains on sale of assets are sporadic in
nature and result  primarily from assets coming off lease which are subsequently
sold.

         Selling,   Administrative  and  Other  Operating   Expenses.   Selling,
administrative and other operating expenses  ("operating  expenses") were higher
during the nine months ended  September 30, 1997, due primarily to the growth in
managed  assets,  as well as  incentives  related to the Company's new business,
profitability and stock performance. As a percentage of interest margins earned,
operating  expenses  for the first nine  months of 1997 were 42.0%  compared  to
40.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Operating  expenses include
costs related to projects underway to develop accurate date recognition and data
processing  with respect to the Year 2000;  these costs have been  immaterial to
date and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's earnings in
the future.

         Income  Taxes.  Income  taxes were  higher for the first nine months of
1997 compared to the corresponding period in 1996 due to the increase in pre-tax
income.  The effective tax rate,  which decreased to 36.7% during the first nine
months of 1997 from 37.7%  during the first nine months of 1996,  was  partially
due to the Company's ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources


         At September 30, 1997, managed assets totaled $8.45 billion compared to
$7.66  billion at December 31, 1996.  The increase in managed  assets was due to
new  business  of $2.31  billion  booked  during the first  nine  months of 1997
(compared to $1.87  billion  during the nine months ended  September  30, 1996),
partially offset by normal portfolio amortization and prepayments.  In addition,
the Company recorded $2.67 billion in fee-based volume for the nine months ended
September  30,  1997,  compared  to  $2.12  billion  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996.

         The reserve for possible  credit losses  increased to $167.8 million at
September  30,  1997,  compared to $148.7  million at December  31,  1996.  This
increase is  primarily  the result of the  increase in the  Company's  financing
portfolio;   the  reserve  as  a  percentage   of  managed   assets   (excluding
participations)  remains  at 2.0% at  September  30,  1997,  the  same  level as
year-end.  The  reserve  for  possible  credit  losses  increased  to  96.7%  of
non-accruing  assets at September  30,  1997,  compared to 95.6% at December 31,
1996; non-accruing assets at September 30, 1997, were $173.4 million compared to
$155.5 million at the end of 1996.

         At  September  30, 1997,  the Company had $6.50  billion of senior debt
outstanding,  representing  5.65 times the Company's  $1.15 billion  equity base
compared to $5.85  billion at December  31,  1996,  representing  5.47 times the
Company's equity base.

         Growth  in funds  employed  is  financed  by the  Company's  internally
generated funds and new  borrowings.  During the nine months ended September 30,
1997,  the  Company  issued  $688.6  million  in new  long-term  borrowings  and
recognized  a net  increase  in  borrowings  under  commercial  paper of  $711.6
million.  During the same period, the Company repaid $748.1 million in long-term
borrowings.

Recent Developments and Business Outlook

         Subsequent  to  September  30,  1997,  the  Company   consummated   the
acquisition of Belgravia  Capital  Corporation,  a national commercial  mortgage
banking organization based in Irvine,  California.  The terms of the transaction
included an initial payment to Belgravia's  shareholders of approximately  $87.5
million  in  FINOVA  stock  and  cash and up to  approximately  $30  million  in
additional  annual  payments  contingent  upon the  satisfaction  of certain net
income  requirements  over the next three years.  The Company  also  announced a
reorganization into three operating groups.
