          NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                 FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 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 June 30,  1997,  the
results of  operations  for the quarter  and six months  ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 and cash flows for the six months  ended June 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 six months  ended June 30,  1996 have been  restated to
reflect discontinued operations.

NOTE B   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ----------------------------------------
         Effective  January 1, 1997,  the  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and  Extinguishments  of  Liabilities."  Among
other things,  this statement  changes the accounting  treatment of transactions
occurring  subsequent  to December 31, 1996 that transfer  financial  assets but
retain the  servicing  rights,  such as  securitizations.  The  adoption of this
standard did not have a material impact on the Company's  consolidated financial
statements.

         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
stockholders' 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 to 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.  The Company is currently  evaluating  the impact of this standard on
its disclosures.

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

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

                COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
                      TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 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 six months
ended June 30, 1996 have been restated to reflect discontinued operations.

Results of Operations

         Net income and income  from  continuing  operations  for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 was $67.5 million compared to net income of $55.2 and income
from continuing operations of $55.6 million for the first six 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,  were
$212.5  million  for the six months  ended June 30,  1997  compared  with $173.4
million  during the same period in 1996,  an increase of 22%.  The  increase was
primarily due to a 16% growth in average managed assets (investment in financing
transactions plus  securitizations and participations  sold) in 1997 as compared
to June 30,  1996.  In addition,  interest  margins  earned as a  percentage  of
average earning assets  increased to 6.0% from 
                                       6
<PAGE>
5.7%. The higher  interest  margins earned are  attributable to increases in the
rate earned on the company's investment in financing  transactions combined with
a lower aggregate cost of funds.

         Provision for Possible Credit Losses. The provision for possible credit
losses increased to $26.3 million for the first six months of 1997,  compared to
$19.5 million  during the same period in 1996. The increase is  attributable  to
the  increase  in  financing  transactions  for the first six  months of 1997 as
compared to the same period in 1996 and slightly  higher  write-offs  during the
six months ended June 30, 1997 ($16.9  million  compared to $15.2 million in the
first six months of 1996).  At June 30, 1997,  the reserve for  possible  credit
losses was 96.3% of nonaccruing assets compared to 87.9% a year earlier.

         Gains on Sale of  Assets.  During  the  first six  months of 1997,  the
company recorded gains on sale of assets totaling $13.7 million compared to $8.0
million  during the same period one year ago.  Included in the 1997 amount was 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   expense.   Selling,
administrative and other operating expenses  ("operating  expenses") were higher
during the six months  ended June 30,  1997,  due  principally  to the growth in
managed   assets  and   incentives   related  to  the  company's  new  business,
profitability and stock performance. As a percentage of interest margins earned,
operating expenses were 43.5% for the first six months of 1997 compared to 41.6%
for the first six months of 1996.

         Income taxes. Income taxes were higher for the first six 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 37.1% in 1997 from 38.2% in
1996,  was  partially  due to the  company's  ability  to utilize  capital  loss
carryforwards.


Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Managed  assets grew by $556.9  million  during the first six months of
1997 and totaled  $8.22  billion at June 30,  1997.  The increase was due to new
business  of $1.56  billion  booked  during the 1997 period  (compared  to $1.23
billion for the 1996 period),  partially offset by normal portfolio amortization
and prepayments.

         The reserve for possible credit losses increased to $159.7 million from
$148.7  million at December  31, 1996 while  non-accruing  assets  increased  to
$165.9 million at June 30, 1997 from $155.5 million at the end of 1996. However,
non-accruing  assets  remained at 2.0% of ending  managed  assets  (exclusive of
participations  sold)  and  reserve  coverage   (reserves/non-accruing   assets)
increased to 96.3% at June 30, 1997 from 95.6% at December 31, 1996.

         The company  had total debt  outstanding  of $6.34  billion at June 30,
1997 or 5.65 times its equity base of $1.12 billion at June 30, 1997.

         Growth  in funds  employed  is  financed  by the  company's  internally
generated funds and new  borrowings.  During the six months ended June 30, 1997,
the company issued $566 million in new long-term borrowings and recognized a net
increase  in  commercial  paper   borrowings  of  approximately   $633  million.
Repayments of long-term debt totaled $710 million during the first six months of
1997.
