                              (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of AmeriCredit  Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("the Company").
All  significant   intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have  been
eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated  financial statements  as of  December 31, 1993 and for
the periods  ended December  31, 1993  and 1992  are unaudited,  but  in
management's opinion,  include all  adjustments  necessary  for  a  fair
presentation of  the results  for such  interim periods. The results for
interim periods  are not  necessarily indicative  of results  for a full
year.

The interim  period financial  statements, including  the notes thereto,
are condensed  and do  not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted  accounting   principles.     Such  interim   period  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements  which were  included in  the Company's 1993 Annual
Report to Shareholders.

The Company's finance contracts typically provide for finance charges on
either a  precomputed or  simple interest  basis.   Precomputed interest
finance receivables  include principal  and  unearned  finance  charges.
Simple interest  finance receivables  include principal  only.   Finance
charge income related to both types of finance receivables is recognized
in future  periods using  the interest  method.   All direct lending and
premium finance contracts are precomputed interest finance receivables.

NOTE 3 - CREDIT AGREEMENT

In October  1993, the  Company entered into a revolving credit agreement
with a  bank under  which the  Company may  borrow up  to  $20  million,
subject to  a defined borrowing base.  No borrowings were outstanding as
of December  31, 1993.   Borrowings  under the  credit agreement will be
collateralized by  the indirect  finance receivables  portfolio and will
bear interest  at prime  plus 1/2%.  The Company is also required to pay
an annual  commitment fee  equal to  3/8% of  the unused  portion of the
credit agreement.   The credit agreement, which expires in October 1994,
contains  various   restrictive  covenants   requiring  certain  minimum
financial ratios  and results  and placing  certain limitations  on  the
incurrence of additional debt and capital expenditures.


NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES

Four lawsuits were filed against the Company, several of its current and
former officers  and directors,  and certain  other defendants, alleging
violations of  federal securities  and  other  laws.    The  suits  were
originally filed  in July  1990, and  in October 1991, the four lawsuits
were consolidated  into one action.  The plaintiffs alleged, among other
things, misrepresentations  in  connection  with  the  Company's  public
reports and  statements, inadequate  disclosure in  connection with  the
Company's May  1990 public offering, statutory fraud under Chapter 27 of
the Texas Business and Commerce Code and conspiracy, aiding and abetting
and concerted  action.   In May  1993, the  U.S. District  Court for the
Northern District  of Texas,  Dallas Division,  dismissed with prejudice
all  claims   alleging  securities   fraud  and  violations  of  federal
securities laws.   The  plaintiffs' state  law claims were dismissed for
want of jurisdiction.  The plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal to the
Court of  Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  The Company considers the suit
to be  without merit  and believes that the dismissal of the suit by the
District Court  confirms  its  position.    The  Company  will  continue
vigorously defending against the suit.

The Company  is involved  in other lawsuits arising in the normal course
of business.   In  the opinion  of management,  the resolution  of these
matters will  not have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's
consolidated financial position.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESTRUCTURING

The Company  historically engaged primarily in the retail used car sales
and finance  business.   However, in  connection  with  a  restructuring
during the  year ended  June 30,  1993, the  Company withdrew  from  the
retail used car sales business.

In September  1992, the  Company  began  purchasing  individual  finance
contracts  originated   by  franchised   and  independent  car  dealers,
generally referred  to  as  indirect  consumer  lending.    The  Company
operated  thirteen  indirect  consumer  lending  branch  offices  as  of
December 31, 1993.  In April 1993, the Company began financing insurance
premiums for  consumers purchasing  car  insurance  through  independent
insurance agents.







                                  -8-

<PAGE>

Subsequent to December 31, 1992, the Company has not reported car sales,
cost of  car sales  and retail  operating expenses  which have  occurred
during the process of liquidating the retail sales operations since such
revenue and  costs and  expenses have  been accounted for as part of the
restructuring  charges.     The  Company's  consolidated  statements  of
operations after  December 31,  1992 include the results of its indirect
consumer lending  and premium  finance businesses, finance charge income
and servicing  costs related  to the  finance  contracts  originated  in
connection with  past used  car sales transactions and corporate related
income and expenses.


THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AS COMPARED TO
 THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992

REVENUE:

Finance charge  income decreased  to $3.0  million as  compared to  $3.6
million because  of a  decrease in the average outstanding amount of net
finance receivables.   Finance  charge income  from the Company's direct
lending portfolio  decreased to  $1,076,000 for  the three  months ended
December 31,  1993 as  compared to $3,521,000 for the three months ended
December 31,  1992 due  to the  Company's phase-down and subsequent exit
from the  retail used  car sales  business and  resultant run-off of the
direct lending  portfolio.   The Company's indirect consumer lending and
premium  finance   businesses  contributed   $1,624,000  and   $306,000,
respectively, of  finance charge  income  for  the  three  months  ended
December 31,  1993 as  compared to  $117,000 and none, respectively, for
the three  months ended  December  31,  1992.    Future  trends  in  the
Company's  level  of  finance  charge  income  are  dependent  upon  the
Company's ability  to continue to grow its indirect consumer lending and
premium finance  businesses in order to offset the effect of the run-off
of the direct lending portfolio.

The  Company's  overall  effective  yield  on  its  finance  receivables
increased to 20.6% from 18.5% as a result of higher finance charge rates
realized in  the Company's indirect consumer lending and premium finance
businesses.   The effective  yield for  both periods  differs  from  the
annual percentage  rates specified  in the finance contracts because of,
among other factors, suspension of finance charge accruals on delinquent
contracts and amortization of deferred loan origination costs.

Investment income increased for the three months ended December 31, 1993
compared to  the three  months ended  December 31,  1992 due  to  higher
average cash and cash equivalent and investment securities balances.

The Company's  share of  operating results  of  its  affiliate,  Pacific
Automart Inc.,  resulted in income of $53,000 for the three months ended
December 31,  1992.   The Company  sold its  entire interest  in Pacific
Automart Inc.  for $11,300,000  in cash  on August  3, 1993.  No gain or
loss was recognized on the sale.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

Operating and  general and  administrative expenses  as a  percentage of
average net  finance receivables  outstanding decreased  to 4.0%  in the
three months  ended December  31, 1993  as compared to 5.0% in the three
months ended  December 31,  1992.   The dollar  amount of  operating and
general and  administrative expenses decreased by 41% or $1.6 million to
$2.3 million  from $3.9  million.   These expenses  decreased due to the
Company's exit  from the  retail used  car sales  business and resultant
reduction in overhead related to these operations.




                                  -9-

The provision  for losses  decreased to  $264,000 as  compared  to  $6.0
million.   Further discussion  concerning the  provision for  losses  is
included under the caption, "Finance Receivables".

The restructuring charges in the three months ended December 31, 1992
are described below.


SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AS COMPARED TO
 SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992

REVENUE:

Finance charge  income decreased  to $5.9  million as  compared to  $7.9
million because  of a  decrease in the average outstanding amount of net
finance receivables.   Finance  charge income  from the Company's direct
lending portfolio  decreased to  $2,630,000 for  the  six  months  ended
December 31,  1993 as  compared to  $7,783,000 for  the six months ended
December 31,  1992 due  to the  Company's phase-down and subsequent exit
from the  retail used  car sales  business and  resultant run-off of the
direct lending  portfolio.   The Company's indirect consumer lending and
premium  finance   businesses  contributed   $2,721,000  and   $551,000,
respectively, of finance charge income for the six months ended December
31, 1993  as compared  to $118,000  and none,  respectively, for the six
months ended December 31, 1992.  Future trends in the Company's level of
finance charge  income are  dependent  upon  the  Company's  ability  to
continue to  grow its  indirect consumer  lending  and  premium  finance
businesses in  order to  offset the  effect of the run-off of the direct
lending portfolio.

The  Company's  overall  effective  yield  on  its  finance  receivables
increased to 20.6% from 18.0% as a result of higher finance charge rates
realized in  the Company's indirect consumer lending and premium finance
businesses.   The effective  yield for  both periods  differs  from  the
annual percentage  rates specified  in the finance contracts because of,
among other factors, suspension of finance charge accruals on delinquent
contracts and amortization of deferred loan origination costs.

Investment income  increased for  the six months ended December 31, 1993
compared to the six months ended December 31, 1992 due to higher average
cash and cash equivalent and investment securities balances.

The Company's  share of  operating results  of  its  affiliate,  Pacific
Automart Inc.,  resulted in  income of $131,000 for the six months ended
December 31,  1992.   The Company  sold its  entire interest  in Pacific
Automart Inc.  for $11,300,000  in cash  on August  3, 1993.  No gain or
loss was recognized on the sale.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

Operating and  general and  administrative expenses  as a  percentage of
average net finance receivables outstanding decreased to 8.0% in the six
months ended  December 31,  1993 as  compared to  9.8% in the six months
ended December 31, 1992.  The dollar amount of operating and general and
administrative expenses decreased by 47% or $3.9 million to $4.6 million
from $8.5  million.   These expenses decreased due to the Company's exit
from the  retail used  car sales  business and  resultant  reduction  in
overhead related to these operations.

The provision  for losses  decreased to  $552,000 as  compared  to  $7.7
million.   Further discussion  concerning the  provision for  losses  is
included under the caption, "Finance Receivables".


                                  -10-

<PAGE>

The restructuring  charges of  $15.4 million  in the  six  months  ended
December 31,  1992 included  an accrual of future retail lease and other
facility costs,  a write-down  of used  car inventories, a write-down of
property and  equipment and  other assets  and an accrual of other costs
necessary to  complete the  liquidation of  the retail sales operations.
In addition, the Company recorded a provision for losses of $5.0 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 1993 in light of the impact that closure
of the Company's retail sales locations may have on the Company's direct
finance customer base.


FINANCE RECEIVABLES

Prior to  September 1992,  the Company's  finance receivables  consisted
solely of  finance contracts  originated in  connection with the sale of
used cars  at the  Company's former  retail locations.    These  finance
receivables are  referred to as the direct lending portfolio.  Since the
Company has  exited the  retail car  sales business,  the direct lending
portfolio will be liquidated over time as the contracts are collected or
charged-off.   In September  1992,  the  Company  entered  the  indirect
consumer  lending  business  and,  in  April  1993,  the  Company  began
financing car insurance premiums for consumers.

Net finance  receivables represented 37.7% of the Company's total assets
at December  31, 1993. The following table presents certain data related
to the finance receivables portfolio (dollars in thousands):

The Company  provides financing  in relatively  high-risk  markets,  and
therefore, charge-offs  and related losses are anticipated.  The Company
records a  periodic provision for losses as a charge to operations and a
related allowance  for losses  in the  consolidated balance  sheet as  a
reserve against  estimated future  losses  in  the  finance  receivables
portfolio.   In the  indirect consumer  lending  business,  the  Company
typically purchases individual finance contracts at less than face value
on a  non-recourse basis,  and such  purchase allowance  is also  set up
directly in  the consolidated  balance sheet as an allowance for losses.
The Company reviews historical origination and charge-off relationships,
charge-off  experience  factors,  collections  information,  delinquency
reports, estimates  of the  value of the underlying collateral, economic
conditions and  trends and  other  information  in  order  to  make  the
necessary judgments  as to the appropriateness of the periodic provision
for losses and the allowance for losses.  Although the Company uses many
resources to  assess the  adequacy of the allowance for losses, there is
no precise  method for  accurately estimating the ultimate losses in the
finance receivables portfolio.

The Company  recorded periodic  provisions  for  losses  as  charges  to
operations of  $228,000 and  $482,000 related  to its  indirect  finance
receivables portfolio  for the  three month  and six month periods ended
December 31,  1993, respectively.   In  addition, the  Company  recorded
$927,000 and  $1,866,000 of  purchase allowances  on  indirect  consumer
lending contracts  as additions  to the  allowance  for  losses  in  the
consolidated balance  sheets for  the three  month and six month periods
ended December 31, 1993, respectively.

The Company  began its  indirect consumer  lending business in September
1992.   Accordingly, the  delinquency and  charge-off data  above is not
necessarily indicative  of delinquency  and charge-off  experience  that
could be expected for a more seasoned portfolio.

Net charge-offs  as a  percentage of  the average  outstanding amount of
direct finance  receivables has  decreased as  the portfolio  has become
more seasoned and average outstanding contract balances have decreased.

PREMIUM FINANCE RECEIVABLES:

Premium finance  loans made  by the  Company are  collateralized by  the
unearned premium  value of  the car insurance policies financed.  If the
consumer defaults  on the payment terms of the loan, the Company has the
right to cancel the insurance policy and obtain a refund of the unearned
premium from  the  insurance  carrier.    While  the  Company  generally
requires a sufficient down payment and limits the terms of loans so that
the unearned  premium value  typically exceeds the outstanding principal
balance of  the loan,  charge-offs may still result from untimely policy
cancellations, short  rate insurance  premium refunds, insurance company
or agency  insolvencies or other factors.  The Company recorded periodic
provisions for  losses as  charges to  operations of $36,000 and $70,000
related to its premium finance receivables portfolio for the three month
and six month periods ended December 31, 1993, respectively.

</TABLE>

The Company  entered the indirect consumer lending business in September
1992 and  has grown  the indirect finance receivables portfolio to $34.3
million as  of December  31, 1993.   Thirteen  indirect consumer lending
branches were  open as  of December  31, 1993.  The Company also entered
the premium  finance business  in April  1993 and  has grown the premium
finance receivables  portfolio to  $4.6 million as of December 31, 1993.
The Company plans to open additional consumer lending branches in fiscal
1994 and  continue to  expand its  indirect consumer lending and premium
finance businesses.   While  the Company  has been able to establish and
grow these  new businesses  thus far,  there can  be no  assurance  that
future expansion  will be  successful due  to  competitive,  regulatory,
market, economic or other factors.

As of  December 31, 1993, the Company had $75.6 million of cash and cash
equivalents and  investment securities.   In  October 1993,  the Company
also entered  into a  revolving credit agreement with a bank under which
the Company  may borrow  up to  $20 million.  The Company estimates that
these existing  capital resources, along with collections on its finance
receivables portfolio, will exceed the funding required for its indirect
consumer lending  and premium  finance businesses,  capital expenditures
and other costs and expenses through June 30, 1994.

The Company  has also  considered and  may continue  to  evaluate  other
business opportunities in which to invest any excess resources which are
not required  to fund  the expansion  of its  current lines of business.
There can  be no  assurance that suitable business opportunities will be
available, or if available, that they will be on terms acceptable to the
Company, or  that the  Company will  have  sufficient  excess  resources
available to invest in such other business opportunities.

Primary earnings  (loss) per  share has been computed by dividing net income
(loss) by  the average  common shares  and  share  equivalents  outstanding.
Common share equivalents were computed using the treasury stock method.  The
average common  stock market  price for the period was used to determine the
