ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION, AND EXHIBITS.
 
     (b) Pro Forma Financial Information of American General Corporation.
 
     On January 31, 1995, American General Corporation ("American General")
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, AGC Life Insurance Company ("AGC Life"),
acquired American Franklin Company ("AFC"), the holding company of The Franklin
Life Insurance Company ("Franklin Life"), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
dated as of November 29, 1994, between American General and American Brands,
Inc. ("American Brands"). The purchase price was $1.17 billion, consisting of
$920 million in cash paid at closing and a $250 million cash dividend paid by
AFC to American Brands prior to closing. The dividend was paid on January 30,
1995.
 
     On December 23, 1994, American General, through AGC Life, acquired a 40%
interest in Western National Corporation ("WNC"), the holding company of Western
National Life Insurance Company, through the acquisition of 24,947,500 shares of
WNC common stock from Conseco, Inc. for $274 million in cash.
 
     American General filed Current Reports on Form 8-K on February 15, 1995,
April 14, 1995, and May 9, 1995 that included 1993 and 1994 audited consolidated
financial statements of AFC and various pro forma consolidated financial
statements of American General.
 
     This Current Report on Form 8-K, updating the previously filed financial
statements, includes the pro forma consolidated financial statements of American
General as of and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and for the year ended
December 31, 1994, as follows:
 
     Balance Sheet  The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of
June 30, 1995 presents the historical consolidated balance sheet of American
General, as adjusted to reflect the subsequent actual and proposed permanent
financing of the AFC acquisition (see Note C of Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated
Financial Statements).
 
     Statement of Income for the Year Ended December 31, 1994  The unaudited pro
forma consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1994
presents the consolidated results of operations of American General and AFC and
reflects American General's 40% equity in the earnings of WNC as if the
acquisitions had been effective January 1, 1994, after giving effect to the
purchase accounting and other pro forma adjustments described in the related
notes.
 
     Statement of Income for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995  The unaudited
pro forma consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30,
1995 presents the consolidated results of operations of i) American General,
which includes the operations of AFC for February through June 1995 and American
General's 40% equity in the earnings of WNC, and ii) AFC, for January 1995. The
purchase accounting and other pro forma adjustments, as described in the related
notes, are calculated as if the AFC acquisition had been effective January 1,
1994.

                          AMERICAN GENERAL CORPORATION
 
              NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     On January 31, 1995, American General through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
AGC Life, acquired AFC, the holding company of Franklin Life, pursuant to a
Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 29, 1994, between American General
and American Brands. The purchase price was $1.17 billion, consisting of $920
million in cash paid at closing and a $250 million cash dividend paid by AFC to
American Brands prior to closing. The dividend was paid on January 30, 1995.
 
     The permanent financing of this acquisition will be finalized in 1995 and
is expected to consist of a mix of short-term debt, long-term debt, and
company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities. As of June 30,
1995, $288 million of company-obligated mandatorily redeemable non-convertible
preferred securities of American General Capital, L.L.C. ("non-convertible
preferred securities of subsidiary") and $150 million of senior long-term
fixed-rate debt were issued to refinance a portion of short-term debt relating
to the acquisition. On July 11, 1995, an additional $150 million of senior
long-term fixed-rate debt was issued, also to refinance a portion of short-term
debt relating to the acquisition. In total, $588 million of permanent financing
was finalized as of August 23, 1995.
 
     On December 23, 1994, American General, through AGC Life, acquired a 40%
interest in WNC, the holding company of Western National Life Insurance Company,
through the acquisition of 24,947,500 shares of WNC common stock from Conseco,
Inc. for $274 million in cash.
 
     Included on the following pages is information related to these
acquisitions, as follows:
 
     Balance Sheet  The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of
June 30, 1995 presents the historical consolidated balance sheet of American
General, as adjusted to reflect the subsequent actual and proposed permanent
financing of the AFC acquisition (see Note C).
 
     Statement of Income for the Year Ended December 31, 1994  The unaudited pro
forma consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1994,
presents the consolidated results of operations of American General and AFC and
reflects American General's 40% equity in the earnings of WNC as if these
acquisitions had been effective January 1, 1994, after giving effect to the
purchase accounting and other pro forma adjustments described in the related
notes.
 
     Statement of Income for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995  The unaudited
pro forma consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30,
1995 presents the consolidated results of operations of i) American General,
which includes the operations of AFC for February through June 1995 and American
General's 40% equity in the earnings of WNC, and ii) AFC, for January 1995. The
purchase accounting and other pro forma adjustments, as described in the related
notes, are calculated as if the AFC acquisition had been effective January 1,
1994.
 
     The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the related
notes reflect the application of the purchase method of accounting for the AFC
acquisition. Under this method, the purchase price was allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values
at January 31, 1995, the actual acquisition date, including an adjustment for
income tax effects for the difference between the assigned values and the tax
basis of the assets and liabilities (see Note B). The purchase method of
accounting also was applied to the financial statements of WNC before recording
American General's 40% of WNC's earnings using the equity method of accounting.
 
     Prior to completion of accounting for both the AFC and the WNC
acquisitions, changes to the purchase accounting adjustments included in the
unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are anticipated as the
valuations of acquired assets and assumed liabilities are finalized.
Accordingly, the actual consolidated financial statements of American General
reflecting the AFC and the WNC acquisitions may differ from the pro forma
financial statements included herein. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
financial statements are

      NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
intended for informational purposes only and may not necessarily be indicative
of American General's future financial position or future results of operations.
 
     American General anticipates first year cost savings of $5 million,
primarily associated with centralizing AFC's investment management function at
American General immediately following the acquisition. This expected savings
has been included in the pro forma consolidated financial statements (see Note
F). American General projects additional future cost savings, the extent and
timing of which may vary from management's expectations. No adjustment has been
included in the pro forma consolidated financial statements for these additional
projected cost savings.
 
NOTE B. ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE -- AFC
 
     The total acquisition cost of AFC is allocated as follows:

NOTE C. DEBT AND NON-CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY
 
     The AFC acquisition was financed at closing by short-term floating-rate
corporate debt at an average rate of 6%. The pro forma consolidated financial
statements reflect both the actual and the proposed permanent financing of the
transaction, as follows:

</TABLE>
 
     The assumed floating rate for short-term corporate debt, expected to be
issued on a staggered maturity basis, is based on American General's portfolio
rate with an 18 day average portfolio maturity. The assumed rate for the 8.25%
non-convertible preferred securities of subsidiary is based on estimates from
investment bankers. All other rates are based on American General's actual
issuances of senior long-term debt and non-convertible preferred securities of
subsidiary in June and July 1995.
 
NOTE D. NON-CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY ISSUE COSTS
 
     Issue costs, principally commissions, are capitalized and classified as a
reduction of the 8.25% non-convertible preferred securities of subsidiary. These
costs are assumed to be 3.15% and are amortized into expense over an assumed
maturity period of 30 years.
 
NOTE E. ACCRETION OF DISCOUNT ON FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES AND MORTGAGE LOANS ON
        REAL ESTATE
 
     AFC's historical consolidated financial statements accrete the difference
between par value and amortized cost of fixed maturity securities and mortgage
loans to income on an effective yield basis over the remaining lives of the
individual fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans. The pro forma
consolidated financial statements are adjusted to reflect additional accretion
of the difference, at the assumed acquisition date, between amortized cost and
fair value of these same fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans.
 
     Expected incremental accretion of the discount on fixed maturity securities
and mortgage loans for the next five years is $9 million, $11 million, $14
million, $16 million, and $19 million (pretax), respectively.
 
NOTE F. NET INVESTMENT INCOME
 
     The liquidation by AFC of its investments to fund the $250 million cash
dividend paid to its shareholder prior to the acquisition (see Note A) is
expected to reduce net investment income by $6 million (pretax) per year.
 
     The liquidation of $25 million of short-term investments to fund
transaction and acquisition-related costs is expected to reduce interest income
by $1 million (pretax) per year.

                          AMERICAN GENERAL CORPORATION
 
      NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
     Annual projected expense savings of $5 million, primarily associated with
centralizing AFC's investment management function at American General
immediately following the acquisition, are included in the pro forma
consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE G. REALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS (LOSSES)
 
     Realized and unrealized investment losses of $31 million and gains of $1
million (pretax) on trading securities recorded by AFC in 1994 and January 1995,
respectively, are reversed since equity securities were assumed to be liquidated
prior to the acquisition to fund the cash dividend to AFC's shareholder (see
Note A). For purposes of the pro forma consolidated financial statements, the
dividend is assumed to occur on January 1, 1994.
 
     Realized investment gains of $17 million (pretax) on fixed maturity
securities recorded by AFC in 1994 are reversed for purposes of the pro forma
consolidated financial statements, since they will not be a component of total
revenues in the future. The gains realized by AFC were indicative of the low
interest rate environment that prevailed in early 1994. Assuming the acquisition
occurred at January 1, 1994, these gains would not have been realized because
American General's purchased bases in the securities sold would have been
higher.
 
NOTE H. INSURANCE AND ANNUITY BENEFITS
 
     AFC's historical insurance and annuity benefits are increased primarily to
reflect the change in the pattern of reserving for future benefits, primarily
for AFC's participating life insurance contracts.
 
NOTE I. AMORTIZATION EXPENSE -- DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS ("DPAC"), COST
        OF INSURANCE
       PURCHASED ("CIP"), AND ACQUISITION-RELATED GOODWILL
 
     The expense recorded on AFC's historical consolidated financial statements
for the amortization of DPAC, historical CIP, and acquisition-related goodwill
is reversed to reflect the elimination of the related intangible assets under
purchase accounting.
 
NOTE J. AMORTIZATION OF CIP
 
     CIP reflects the estimated fair value of the business in force and
represents the portion of the purchase price that is allocated to the value of
the right to receive future cash flows from insurance contracts existing at the
assumed date of the acquisition. Such value is the actuarially-determined amount
that, when amortized into income, results in expected earnings that meet the
profit objective of American General. This profit objective is an expected
aftertax rate of return of 13.5% on capital required to support the business in
force. This rate of return is believed to be appropriate based on considerations
of the relative risk associated with realizing the expected cash flows, the cost
of capital to American General to fund the acquisition, and the operating
environment of AFC, namely, the regulatory and tax factors affecting future
profitability and the profit objectives of American General for newly issued
policies.

                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
     The value allocated to CIP is based on a preliminary valuation;
accordingly, this amount may be adjusted after final determination of the value.
On a pro forma basis, assuming that the acquisition occurred at December 31,
1994, expected gross amortization using current assumptions and accretion of
interest based on an interest rate equal to the liability or contract rate (5%
to 8%), for each of the years in the five-year period ending December 31, 1999,
is as follows:

NOTE K. INTEREST EXPENSE AND NET DIVIDENDS ON NON-CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED
        SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY
 
     Interest expense is increased to reflect the issuance of senior long-term
fixed-rate corporate debt and short-term floating-rate corporate debt assuming
the permanent financing of the AFC acquisition had been effective on January 1,
1994 (see Note C). The components of pretax interest expense for 1994, including
the amortization of settlement costs of derivative financial instruments related
to the senior long-term debt, are as follows:
