              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                              (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 March 31, 1995 and for the
  periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 are unaudited, but in management's
  opinion, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
  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 1994 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.  All direct
  lending and premium finance contracts are precomputed interest finance
  receivables.
  
  A summary of the allowance for losses is as follows (in thousands):

  NOTE 3 - CREDIT AGREEMENT
  
  In September 1994, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement
  with a group of banks under which the Company may borrow up to $75
  million, subject to a defined borrowing base.  The Company had $24.7
  million outstanding under this facility as of March 31, 1995.  Borrowings
  under the credit agreement are collateralized by the indirect finance
  receivables portfolio and bear interest, based upon the Company's option,
  at either the reference prime rate plus 1/2% or various market London
  Interbank Offered Rates plus 2-1/4%.  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 November 1995,
  contains various restrictive covenants requiring certain minimum
  financial ratios and results and placing certain limitations on the
  incurrence of additional debt, capital expenditures and repurchase of
  common stock.
  
  NOTE 4 - AUTOMOBILE RECEIVABLES-BACKED NOTES
  
  In December 1994, the Company completed a private placement of $51
  million  of automobile receivables-backed notes.  The issue, Series 1994-
  A, was priced at par to yield 8.19% to the noteholders and is
  collateralized by a pool of indirect finance receivables originally
  totalling $56.7 million.  
  
  
  
  <PAGE>
  The notes were issued by a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the
  Company which holds the related finance receivables.  Principal and
  interest on the notes are payable monthly from collections and recoveries
  on the specific pool of finance receivables.  Financial Security
  Assurance Inc. ("FSA") issued a financial guaranty insurance policy for
  the benefit of the noteholders.
  
  In connection with the issuance of the financial guaranty insurance
  policy by FSA, the Company was required to establish a cash account with
  a trustee for the benefit of FSA and the noteholders.  Such cash account
  is shown as restricted cash on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. 
  Monthly collections and recoveries from the pool of finance receivables
  in excess of required principal and interest payments on the notes are
  added to the restricted cash account until the balance reaches a
  specified percentage of the pool of finance receivables, and thereafter
  are distributed to the Company.  In the event that monthly collections
  and recoveries from the pool of finance receivables are insufficient to
  make required principal and interest payments on the notes, any shortfall
  would be drawn from the restricted cash account.
  
  Certain agreements with FSA contain restrictive covenants relating to
  delinquency, default and net loss ratios in the pool of finance
  receivables which collateralize the automobile receivables-backed notes.

  Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  ------------------------------------------------------
  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  ---------------------
  General
  
  Since September 1992, the Company has been in the business of purchasing
  finance contracts originated by franchised and independent car dealers,
  generally referred to as indirect consumer lending.
  
  Since April 1993, the Company has also financed insurance premiums for
  consumers purchasing car insurance through independent insurance agents. 
  However, the Company has recently curtailed its activities in this
  business in order to concentrate its resources on the core indirect
  consumer lending business.
  
  The Company previously engaged in the retail used car sales and finance
  business.  However, in connection with a restructuring, the Company
  withdrew from the retail used car sales business effective December 31,
  1992.  The finance receivables originated in this previous business are
  referred to as the direct lending portfolio and are being liquidated over
  time as the contracts are collected or charged-off.

  </TABLE>
  The increase in finance charge income for the indirect consumer lending
  business is due to growth in average net indirect finance receivables
  outstanding.  The indirect consumer lending portfolio was $184.9 million
  at March 31, 1995, compared to $47.4 million at March 31, 1994.  The
  Company purchased $69.4 million of indirect loans during the three months
  ended March 31, 1995, compared to $17.0 million during the three months
  ended March 31, 1994. This increased lending activity is a result of
  additional loan production at branches open during both periods as well
  as expansion of the Company's loan production capacity.  The Company
  operated 26 branch offices as of March 31, 1995, compared to 14 as of
  March 31, 1994.
  
  The decrease in direct lending and premium financing finance charge
  income is due to liquidation of these portfolios.
  
  The Company's overall effective yield on its finance receivables
  increased to 20.8% from 20.2% primarily as a result of higher finance
  charge rates realized in the Company's indirect consumer lending
  business.  The effective yield on indirect consumer lending receivables
  was 20.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 20.7% for the
  three months ended March 31, 1994.
  
  Investment income decreased as a result of lower average cash and cash
  equivalents and investment securities balances for the three months ended
  March 31, 1995.  The Company's yield on its cash and cash equivalents and
  investment securities was 5.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1995
  as compared to 3.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1994.
  
  Other income included $222,000 and $105,000 for the three months ended
  March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, related to the Company's
  participation in certain joint ventures which acquire and collect
  distressed receivables portfolios.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  <PAGE>
  Costs and Expenses:
  
  Operating expenses as an annualized percentage of average net finance
  receivables outstanding decreased to 9.4% for the three months ended
  March 31, 1995 as compared to 15.2% for the three months ended March 31,
  1994.  The ratio improved as a result of the Company's ability to
  leverage its fixed overhead costs by growing its finance receivables
  portfolio.  The dollar amount of operating expenses increased by $1.4
  million, or 61% primarily due to the addition of branch offices,
  marketing representatives, branch supervisory personnel and portfolio
  servicing and analysis staff.
  
  The provision for losses increased to $1,152,000 as compared to $336,000. 
  Further discussion concerning the provison for losses is included under
  the caption, "Finance Receivables".
  
  Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1995 resulted from
  borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit and issuance of $51
  million of automobile receivables-backed notes on December 22, 1994.  The
  Company did not have any bank borrowings during the three  months ended
  March 31, 1994.

</TABLE>
  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 for a non-refundable
  acquisition fee on a non-recourse basis, and such acquisition fees are
  also recorded 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 judgements 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 $1,129,000 and $2,579,000 related to its indirect finance
  receivables portfolio for the three and nine month periods ended March
  31, 1995, respectively.  The provisions for losses were $301,000 and
  $783,000 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1994,
  respectively.  The increased loss provisions are a result of higher
  average net indirect finance receivables balances.  The Company also
  accounts for acquisition fees on indirect consumer lending contracts as
  additional allowances for losses.
  
  The Company began its indirect consumer lending business in September
  1992 and has grown its receivables portfolio to $184.9 million as of
  March 31, 1995.  The Company expects that its aggregate portfolio
  delinquency and charge-offs will increase over time as its portfolio
  gains more maturity.  Delinquency and charge-offs typically tend to occur
  after a loan has been outstanding for several months.  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.

  ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

  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, non-refundable
  policy fees, insurance company or agency insolvencies or other factors. 
  The Company recorded periodic provisions for losses of $23,000 and
  $110,000 related to its premium finance receivables portfolio for the
  three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 1995, respectively. 
  The provisions for losses were $35,000 and $105,000 for the three and

  In addition to the net change in cash and cash equivalents shown above,
  the Company also had net decreases in investment securities of $15.1
  million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 and
  1994, respectively.  Such amounts are included as investing activities in
  the above table.
  
  The Company's primary sources of cash have been collections and
  recoveries on its finance receivables portfolio, borrowings under its
  bank line of credit and the issuance in December 1994 of automobile
  receivables-backed notes.  The Company also received proceeds from the
  sale of its interest in Pacific Automart Inc. of $11.3 million in August
  1993.
  
  The Company's primary use of cash has been purchases and originations of
  finance receivables.  The Company entered the indirect consumer lending 
  business in September 1992 and has grown the indirect finance receivables
  portfolio to $184.9 million as of March 31, 1995.  The Company operated
  26 indirect consumer lending branches in nineteen states and had a group
  of marketing representatives as of March 31, 1995.  The Company plans to
  open  additional consumer lending branches, add marketing representatives
  and expand loan production capacity at existing branch offices in the
  remainder of fiscal 1995.  While the Company has been able to establish
  and grow this business thus far, there can be no assurance that future
  expansion will be successful due to competitive, regulatory, market,
  economic or other factors.
  
  The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to
  6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  A total of 3,220,500
  shares of common stock had been purchased pursuant to this program
  through March 31, 1995.  
  
  In December 1994, the Company completed a private placement of $51
  million of automobile receivables-backed notes.  The issue, Series 1994-
  A, was priced at par to yield 8.19% to the noteholders and is
  collateralized by a pool of indirect finance receivables originally
  totalling $56.7 million.  The notes were issued by a wholly-owned special
  purpose subsidiary of the Company which holds the related finance
  receivables.  Principal and interest on the notes are payable monthly
  from collections and recoveries on the specific pool of finance
  receivables.  The notes are rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Services
  Inc. and "AAA" by Standard & Poor's Corp.  Financial Security Assurance
  Inc. ("FSA") issued a financial guaranty insurance policy for the benefit
  of the noteholders.
  
  As of March 31, 1995, the Company had $11.4 million in cash and cash
  equivalents and investment securities.  The Company also has a revolving
  credit agreement with a group of banks under which the Company may borrow
  up to $75 million.  The Company had $24.7 million outstanding under this
  facility at March 31, 1995.  The Company estimates that it will require
  additional external capital in calendar year 1995 in addition to these
  existing capital resources and collections and recoveries on its finance
  receivables portfolio in order to fund expansion of its indirect consumer
  <PAGE>
  lending business, capital expenditures, any additional stock repurchases,
  and other costs and expenses.
  
  The Company anticipates that such funding will be in the form of an
  expanded bank line of credit and additional issuances of automobile
  receivables-backed notes.  There can be no assurance that external
  funding will be available, or if available, that it will be on terms
  acceptable to the Company.
