NOTE A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         ------------------------------------------

         GENERAL:
         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
         accounts of National Auto Credit, Inc. and its subsidiaries 
         (the Company).

         The consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 1995, the
         consolidated statements of income and the consolidated
         statements of cash flows for the three-month and six-month
         periods ended July 31, 1995 and 1994, have been prepared by the
         Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all normal
         and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the
         financial position, results of operations and cash flows at July
         31, 1995 and for all periods presented have been made.
         
         Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally
         included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or
         omitted.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial
         statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
         and notes thereto included in the Company's January 31, 1995
         Form 10-K Annual Report.  The results of operations for the
         three-month and six-month periods ended July 31, 1995 may not
         necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full
         year.
         
         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
         Management periodically reviews depreciation rates and revises,
         where appropriate, based upon a variety of factors including the
         strength of the used car market, general economic conditions and
         estimated useful life.  Gains and losses upon the sale of rental
         automobiles are either recorded as an adjustment to depreciation
         expense, included in discontinued operations (Note E), or are
         included in dealership operations, depending on the method of
         disposal.  The net gain from the sale of automobiles totaled
         $1,847,000 and $1,185,000 for the quarters ended July 31, 1995
         and 1994, respectively. The gain for the six months ended July
         31, 1995 and 1994 was $3,771,000 and $1,881,000, respectively.
         The number of automobiles sold by the Company, either through
         dealership operations or other methods, was 2,769 and 2,891 for
         the quarters ended July 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and
         5,995 and 5,907 for the six months ended July 31, 1995 and 1994,
         respectively.  Other property and equipment is depreciated using
         the straight-line method over its estimated useful life.
         
         RECLASSIFICATIONS:
         Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
         with the current period presentation.

         Installment notes receivable are loans made by the Company's
         finance subsidiary which is principally engaged in the indirect
         consumer financing of used automobiles.  The Company records the
         gross amount of the contract as an installment note receivable
         and the amount of its discount as unearned income.  Installment
         notes generally have initial terms ranging from 12 to 42 months
         with an average initial term of 31 months and a gross amount of
         $8,300.  The notes are collateralized by the related vehicle
         sold.  Installment notes receivable are from customers residing
         in all 50 states with no individual state accounting for more
         than 10% except North Carolina with 15%.  At July 31 and January
         31, 1995, the accrual of interest income was suspended on
         $39,124,000  and $27,509,000 of installment notes receivable,
         respectively.
         
         The allowance for loan losses is provided for installment notes
         receivable with no related dealer holdbacks and earned but
         unpaid finance charges.  Beginning in fiscal 1995, the Company
         ceased entering into these types of receivables, which were 1.4%
         and 3.5% of total gross installment notes receivable at July 31
         and January 31, 1995, respectively.  Changes in the allowance
         for loan losses are as follows:

         Dealer holdbacks are the amounts payable to member dealers from
         the acceptance of retail installment contracts, net of cash
         advanced.  The cash advances are based upon certain criteria and
         are interest-bearing at the prime rate less 3%.  The dealer
         holdbacks protect the Company from potential losses associated
         with the installment contracts and are not paid until
         substantially all advances related to a particular dealer have
         been recovered.  The components of dealer holdbacks are as
         follows:

NOTE D - Contingencies
         -------------

         In the normal course of its business, the Company is named as a
         defendant in legal proceedings.  It is the policy of the Company
         to vigorously defend litigation and/or enter into settlements of
         claims where management deems appropriate.
         
         On June 15, 1992, former employees of the Company filed a class
         action lawsuit which is currently in the United States District
         Court for the Northern District of California.  The complaint
         alleged that the Company violated certain sections of the
         California Labor Law, including those relating to the payment of
         overtime.  In November 1994 the liability phase of this case was
         tried to the Court without a jury.

NOTE D - Contingencies (continued)
         -------------

         On June 16, 1995, the Court issued a finding as to partial
         liability against the Company.  The case is now proceeding into
         the damages phase.  The Company estimates that claims for
         damages, penalties, interest and attorneys fees could range from
         $2 million, which has been accrued, to $5 million.  The amount
         of the ultimate liability or damages which might finally exist
         is subject to numerous variables and cannot be more precisely
         estimated.


NOTE E - Discontinued Operations
         -----------------------

         During the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company made the
         determination that the rental car segment, operating under the
         name of Agency Rent-A-Car, would be sold and therefore has
         accounted for this segment as discontinued operations.
         Accordingly, the assets and operating results of the rental
         car segment, for all periods presented, have been restated to
         reflect discontinuation.
         
         On August 23, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with a
         subsidiary of Avis, Inc., principally selling certain assets for

         Company.

         At closing, which is anticipated to occur in late September
         1995, cash is to be received for the assets sold.  The related
         operating results between August 1, 1995 and close and the gain
         (loss) on the sale at close are estimated to be approximately
         break-even.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

                                   Overview
                                   --------

     National Auto Credit, Inc. (the Company),  had net income from continuing
operations of $4.8 million or $.19 per share for the quarter ended July 31,
1995 as compared to $2.7 million or $.11 per share for the quarter ended July
31, 1994.

     For the six months ended July 31, 1995, net income from continuing
operations was $8.9 million or $.35 per share, a 107% increase from the $4.3
million or $.17 per share earned in the prior year.

     The Company has accounted for the automobile rental segment of its
business, operating under the name of Agency Rent-A-Car, as discontinued
operations since a definitive plan of disposal was formulated during June 1995.
This follows the previously announced decision to exit this industry segment as
part of the strategic plan to concentrate and grow the core finance company
business.  It is anticipated that the Company's earnings from its continuing
operations, the financing business, will continue to show significant increases
due to the planned growth of its installment notes receivable portfolio.

     On August 1, 1995, the Company began trading on the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. under the symbol, NAK.


                              Financial Services
                              ------------------

     Financial services revenue, generated by NAC, Inc., consisting primarily
of interest and fee income, increased to $9.1 million  during the quarter ended
July 31, 1995 from $5.3 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1994 and
increased to $16.7 million from the $9.5 million for the six months then ended.
This revenue growth is attributable to the growth in the gross installment
notes receivable portfolio and in enrolled dealers as follows:

     Delinquencies and the rate of charge-offs in the second quarter were 
consistent with the experience for preceding periods.

     Operating margins continue to remain strong exceeding 90% for both the
current quarter as well as the six months ended July 31, 1995.  Operating
expenses remained relatively consistent between the second quarter of this year
compared to last year due to operating efficiencies gained by the consolidation
of the branch offices and the benefit of additional fee income which offsets
certain operating expenses.

     Management expects the gross installment notes receivable balance to be
$350 million with an enrolled member dealer population of 2,400 by fiscal year
end.  To accomplish these goals the Company is constantly looking to improve
and expand the privileges of membership it offers and provide unique programs.
During the second quarter, the dealer advance calculation was changed to factor
in the model year of the car being purchased.  In addition, the Company
introduced the "NAC 100" stock option program for member dealers.  Each dealer
can qualify for stock options based upon the number of contracts generated.


                            Dealership Operations
                            ---------------------

     Dealership operations represents the Company's used car sales subsidiary,
National Motors, Inc. (NMI).  Revenue was $17.1 million for the quarter ended
July 31, 1995 as compared to $15.9 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1994
and increased to $38.4 million from $35.0 million for the six month periods
then ended.

     The 2,489 units sold during the quarter ended July 31, 1995 brought the
six month total to 5,505 cars, an increase of 341 and 752 cars respectively
over the prior year.  Gross margins improved during both the second quarter and
year to date versus fiscal 1995 due largely to the introduction of vehicles
purchased at affordable prices through auction and a reduction in the number of
vehicles sold at wholesale.  This trend is expected to continue as more cars
are purchased at auction or through other wholesale means as rental car
retirements continue to decrease.

     NMI continues to be a significant servicing operation that processes and
distributes cars to NAC member dealers for retail sale.  At July 31, 1995 and
1994 there were nine servicing centers.

                           Other Costs and Expenses
                           ------------------------

     Depreciation and amortization expense, relating primarily to corporate
facilities, computer equipment and furniture and fixtures, remained consistent
for the three months and six months ended July 31, 1995 as compared to the
prior year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $740,000 for the
six months ended July 31, 1995 compared to the same period ended July 31, 1994.
The increase is due to additional costs associated with the growth in financial
services.

     Interest expense increased from last year, both for the quarter and six
month periods ended July 31, 1995 as notes payable, which are used to purchase
treasury stock, increased $3.7 million from July 31, 1994 to July 31, 1995.  In
addition the effective interest rate increased from approximately 4.0% in
fiscal 1995 to 6.1% for both the quarter and six month periods ended July 31,
1995.

                          Provision for Income Taxes
                          --------------------------

     The effective income tax rate for continuing operations increased from
35.8% to 36.8% for both the quarter and year-to-date from the prior year.  This
increase is attributable to the diminishing effect of the tax credits 
generated from the Company's investment in certain affordable housing limited 
partnerships applied to a higher income base.

                           Discontinued Operations
                           -----------------------

     The Company entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Avis, Inc. to
dispose of its automobile rental operations as disclosed in Note E to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.  The transaction is expected to close by the
end of September 1995.

     Revenue from discontinued operations decreased approximately 50% from the
prior year in both the quarter and six-month periods ended July 31, 1995.  The
average fleet decreased to 8,700 units and 9,700 units for the quarter and six
month periods, down from 19,000 and 20,000 units the year before.  The decrease
in revenue was partially offset by the increase in average rental rates and
utilization.

     Operating and other expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 1995 include a
$1.7 million charge to reflect the estimated additional expense to the Company
as a result of the June 16, 1995 liability finding in the California Labor
lawsuit, as disclosed in Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Excluding this adjustment, expenses consisting of operating, depreciation and
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased proportionately with the
decrease in fleet size partially offset by costs related to closing rental
offices.

       External sources of funds available to the Company at July 31, 1995
amounted to $200 million in unsecured short-term commercial paper, $114 million
in unsecured uncommitted short-term bank lines of credit and $40 million in
unsecured committed bank lines of credit.  The committed bank facility has no
compensating balance requirement and has been renewed to June 28, 1996.
Outstanding borrowings at July 31, 1995 amounted to $8.0 million in commercial
paper and $15.6 million in unsecured uncommitted short-term lines of credit.

       The Company believes it has sufficient internal and external sources of
funds available to meet its current obligations, to fund current operating and
capital requirements and to finance future growth.  In addition, as a result of
discontinued rental operations, additional funds will be available to fund the
continued growth of the financial services business.

       The ratio of operating debt to total capital was 4% at both July 31 and
January 31, 1995.  It is anticipated that debt levels will remain minimal
through the end of this year.
