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, 1998 and for the
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 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 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders.
The Company adopted the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128") effective for periods
ended December 31, 1997 and thereafter. SFAS 128 establishes new standards
for computing and presenting earnings per share, replacing existing
accounting standards. All prior period earnings per share and related
weighted average share amounts have been restated to conform to the
requirements of SFAS 128.

NOTE 4 - DEBT
In October 1997, the Company entered into a restated revolving credit
agreement with a group of banks under which the Company may borrow up to $310
million, subject to a defined borrowing base. The Company amended the
agreement in April 1998 reducing the line of credit to $265 million and
extending the maturity to April 1999. There were no outstanding borrowings
as of March 31, 1998. Aggregate borrowings of $71.7 million were outstanding
as of June 30, 1997. Borrowings under the credit agreement are collateralized
by certain auto receivables and bear interest at various market London
Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") plus 1.25%. The Company is also required to
pay an annual commitment fee equal to 1/4% of the unused portion of the
credit agreement. The credit agreement contains various restrictive
covenants requiring certain minimum financial ratios and results and placing
certain limitations on payment of cash dividends and repurchase of common
stock.
In October 1997, the Company entered into a funding agreement with a funding
agent on behalf of an institutionally managed commercial paper conduit and a
group of banks under which up to $245 million of structured warehouse
financing is available to the Company. Aggregate borrowings of $97.6 million
were outstanding as of March 31, 1998. Under the funding agreement, the
Company
8
<PAGE>
transfers auto receivables to CP Funding Corp. ("CPFC"), a special purpose
finance subsidiary of the Company, and CPFC in turn issues a note,
collateralized by such auto receivables, to the funding agent. The funding
agent provides funding under the note to CPFC pursuant to an advance formula
and CPFC forwards the funds to the Company in consideration for the transfer
of auto receivables. While CPFC is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company,
CPFC is a separate legal entity and the auto receivables transferred to CPFC
and the other assets of CPFC are legally owned by CPFC and not available to
creditors of AmeriCredit Corp. or its other subsidiaries. Advances under the
note bear interest at commercial paper, LIBOR or prime rates plus specified
fees depending upon the source of funds provided by the funding agent to
CPFC. The funding agreement, which expires in October 1998, contains various
covenants requiring certain minimum financial ratios and results.
The Company also has a mortgage warehouse facility with a bank under which
the Company may borrow up to $35 million, subject to a defined borrowing
base. Aggregate borrowings of $26.4 million and $.3 million were outstanding
as of March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively. Borrowings under the
facility are collateralized by certain mortgage receivables and bear interest
at LIBOR plus 1%. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment
fee equal to 1/8% of the unused portion of the facility. The facility
expires in February 1999.
In January 1998, the Company issued an additional $50 million of its 9 1/4%
Senior Notes which are due in February 2004. These additional notes have
substantially the same terms as the Company's original $125 million of 9 1/4%
Senior Notes issued in February 1997.
NOTE 5 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash payments for interest costs and income taxes consist of the following

</TABLE>
During the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company entered into
capital lease obligations of $3.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for
the purchase of certain equipment.
NOTE 6 - GUARANTOR CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Company's
9 1/4% Senior Notes is guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries
(the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). The separate financial statements of the
Subsidiary
9
<PAGE>
Guarantors are not included herein because the Subsidiary Guarantors are
wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries of the Company and are jointly,
severally and unconditionally liable for the obligations represented by the 9
1/4% Senior Notes. The Company believes that the condensed consolidating
financial information for the Company, the combined Subsidiary Guarantors and
the combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries provide information that is more
meaningful in understanding the financial position of the Subsidiary
Guarantors than separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
Therefore, the separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are
not deemed material.
The following supplemental schedules present consolidating financial
information for (i) AmeriCredit Corp. (on a parent only basis), (ii) the
combined Subsidiary Guarantors, (iii) the combined Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries, (iv) an elimination column for adjustments to arrive at the
information for the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and
(v) the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent company on the
equity method for purposes of the presentation set forth below. Earnings of
subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the parent company's investment
accounts and earnings. The principal elimination entries set forth below
eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and
transactions.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company generates earnings and cash flow primarily through the purchase,
securitization and servicing of auto receivables. The Company purchases auto
finance contracts from franchised and select independent automobile
dealerships. To fund the acquisition of receivables prior to securitization,
the Company utilizes borrowings under its warehouse credit facilities. The
Company generates finance charge income on its receivables pending
securitization ("owned receivables") and pays interest expense on borrowings
under its warehouse credit facilities.
The Company sells receivables to securitization trusts ("Trusts") or special
purpose finance subsidiaries that, in turn, sell asset-backed securities to
investors. By securitizing its receivables, the Company is able to lock in
the gross interest rate spread between the yield on such receivables and the
interest rate payable on the asset-backed securities. The Company recognizes
a gain on the sale of receivables to the Trusts, which represents the
difference between the sale proceeds to the Company, net of transaction
costs, and the Company's net carrying value of the receivables, plus the
present value of the estimated future excess cash flows to be received by
the Company over the life of the securitization. Excess cash flows result
from the difference between the interest received from the obligors on the
receivables and the interest paid to investors in the asset-backed
securities, net of credit losses and expenses.
Excess cash flows from the Trusts are initially utilized to fund credit
enhancement requirements to secure financial guaranty insurance policies
issued by an insurance company to protect investors in the asset-backed
securities from losses. Once predetermined credit enhancement requirements
are reached and maintained, excess cash flows are distributed to the Company.
In addition to excess cash flows, the Company earns monthly servicing fee
income of between 2.25% and 2.50% per annum of the outstanding principal
balance of receivables securitized ("serviced receivables").
In November 1996, the Company acquired AmeriCredit Mortgage Services ("AMS"),
which originates and sells home equity mortgage loans. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase, and the results of operations for AMS have been
included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.
Receivables originated in this business are referred to as mortgage
receivables. Such receivables are generally packaged and sold for cash on a
servicing released, whole-loan basis. The Company recognizes a gain at the
time of sale.

</TABLE>
Average managed receivables outstanding increased by 107% as a result of
higher loan purchase volume. The Company purchased $480.5 million of auto
loans during the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to purchases of
$244.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 1997. This growth
resulted from loan production at branches open during both periods as well as
expansion of the Company's loan production capacity. The Company operated
119 auto lending branch offices as of March 31, 1998, compared to 79 as of
March 31, 1997.
The Company purchased $43.0 million of mortgage loans during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $24.1 million during the three months
ended March 31, 1997.
Finance charge income consisted of the following (in thousands):

The increase in finance charge income is due primarily to an increase in the
Company's effective yield on its owned auto receivables to 22.4% for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from 19.4% for the three months ended March
31, 1997. The effective yield rose for the three months ended March 31, 1998
due to increased auto loan purchases and correspondingly higher levels of
finance

Mortgage 766 1,300
------- -------
$32,329 $17,757
------- -------

</TABLE>
The increase in gain on sale of auto receivables resulted from the sale of
$435.0 million of receivables in the three months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to $208.3 million of receivables sold in the three months ended
March 31, 1997. The gains amounted to 7.3% and 7.9% of the sales proceeds
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Significant assumptions used in determining the gain on sale of auto
receivables were as
<TABLE>

-------------------------
1998 1997
---- ----
<S> <C> <C>
Cumulative credit losses 10.8% 9.3%
Excess cash flow discount rate 12.0% 12.0%
</TABLE>
The gain on sale of mortgage receivables decreased due to a decrease in
average premiums received on sales to 3.4% for the three months ended March
31, 1998 compared to 5.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Mortgage
receivables sold were $22.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997.
Servicing fee income increased to $10.5 million, or 2.8% of average serviced
auto receivables, for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to
$5.6 million, or 3.9% of average serviced auto receivables, for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Servicing fee income represents accretion of
the present value discount on estimated future excess cash flows from the
Trusts, base servicing fees and other fees earned by the Company as servicer
of the auto receivables sold to the Trusts. Servicing fee income for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 also includes a $3.0 million charge to
increase credit loss reserves related to certain of the Company's prior
securitization transactions. Such credit loss reserves are netted against
excess servicing receivable in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
The growth in servicing fee income exclusive of the aforementioned charge is
primarily due to the increase in average serviced auto receivables
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1997.
19
<PAGE>
Investment income increased to $1.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998 from $.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 primarily
as a result of higher restricted cash balances. Restricted cash is used as
credit enhancement for the Trusts and generally increases as greater amounts
of receivables are sold to the Trusts.
COSTS AND EXPENSES:
Operating expenses as an annualized percentage of average managed receivables
outstanding decreased to 5.6% (5.3% excluding operating expenses of $1.3
million related to the mortgage business) for the three months ended March
31, 1998 as compared to 6.7% (6.2% excluding operating expenses of $1.1
million related to the mortgage business) for the three months ended March
31, 1997. The ratio improved as a result of economies of scale realized from
a growing receivables portfolio and automation of loan origination,
processing and servicing functions. The dollar amount of operating expenses
increased by $10.3 million, or 75%, primarily due to the addition of auto
lending branch offices and management and auto loan processing and servicing
staff.
The provision for losses was $1.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997. Average owned auto receivables outstanding remained
relatively unchanged for the same periods.
Interest expense increased to $6.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998 from $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 due to
higher debt levels and effective interest rates. Average debt outstanding
was $300.5 million and $208.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company's effective rate of interest paid
on its debt increased to 9.4% from 9.0% as a result of the issuance of 9 1/4%
Senior Notes in February 1997 and January 1998.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 38.5% for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

respectively.
Servicing fee income increased to $29.7 million, or 3.2% of average serviced
auto receivables, for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to
$13.9 million, or 3.8% of average serviced auto receivables, for the nine

1998 as compared to 6.7% (6.4% excluding operating expenses of $1.4 million
related to the mortgage business) for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.
The ratio improved as a result of economies of scale realized from a growing
receivables portfolio and automation of loan origination, processing and
servicing functions. The dollar amount of operating expenses increased by
$30.5 million, or 86%, primarily due to the addition of auto lending branch
offices and management and auto loan processing and servicing staff.
The provision for losses increased to $5.5 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended March
31, 1997 due to higher average owned auto receivables outstanding.
Interest expense increased to $19.0 million for the nine months ended March
31, 1998 from $11.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 due to
higher debt levels and effective interest rates. Average debt outstanding
was $271.7 million and $178.1 million for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company's effective rate of interest paid
on its debt increased to 9.3% from 8.4% as a result of the issuance of 9 1/4%
Senior Notes in February 1997 and January 1998.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 38.5% for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
FINANCE RECEIVABLES
The Company provides financing in relatively high-risk markets, and
therefore, charge-offs 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 sheets as a reserve against estimated
future losses in the owned auto receivables portfolio. The Company typically
purchases individual finance contracts for a non-refundable acquisition fee
on a non-recourse basis. Such acquisition fees are also recorded in the
consolidated balance sheets as an allowance for losses. When the Company
sells auto receivables to the Trusts, the calculation of the gain on sale of
receivables is reduced by an estimate of future credit losses expected over
the life of the auto receivables sold.
The Company sells mortgage receivables for cash on a servicing released,
whole-loan basis. Such receivables are generally held by the Company for
less than
23
<PAGE>
90 days. Accordingly, no allowance for losses is provided by the Company for
the mortgage receivables.
The Company reviews static pool origination and charge-off relationships,
charge-off experience factors, collection data, 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 provisions 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 estimating the
ultimate losses in the receivables portfolio.

In accordance with its policies and guidelines, the Company at times offers
payment deferrals to customers, whereby the customer is allowed to move a
delinquent payment to the end of the loan by paying a fee (approximately the
interest portion of the payment deferred). Contracts receiving a payment
deferral as a percentage of average managed auto receivables were 4.5% and 4.0%
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 13.6% and

The Company began its indirect automobile finance business in September 1992 and
has grown its managed auto receivables portfolio to $1.9 billion as of March 31,
1998. The Company expects that its delinquency and charge-offs will increase
over time as the portfolio matures and its portfolio growth rate moderates.
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 increase in cash and

</TABLE>
The Company's primary sources of cash have been collections and recoveries on
its receivables portfolio, borrowings under its warehouse credit facilities,
sales of auto receivables to Trusts in securitization transactions, excess cash
flow distributions from the Trusts and the issuance of its 9 1/4% Senior Notes.
The Company's line of credit arrangement with a group of banks provides for
borrowings up to $265 million, subject to a defined borrowing base. The
Company utilizes the line of credit to fund its auto lending activities and
daily operations. The Company amended the agreement in April 1998 reducing
the line of credit to $265 million from $310 million and extending the
maturity to April 1999. There were no outstanding balances under the line of
credit as of March 31, 1998.
In October 1997, the Company entered into a funding agreement with a funding
agent on behalf of an institutionally managed commercial paper conduit and a
group of banks under which up to $245 million of structured warehouse financing
is available to the Company. The Company utilizes this facility to fund auto
receivables pending securitization. The facility matures in October 1998. A
total of $97.6 million was outstanding under this facility as of March 31, 1998.
The Company also has a mortgage warehouse facility with a bank under which the
Company may borrow up to $35 million, subject to a defined borrowing base, to
fund mortgage loan originations. The facility expires in February 1999. A
total of $26.4 million was outstanding under the mortgage warehouse facility as
of March 31, 1998.
In February 1998, the Company completed its twelfth securitization transaction
with the issuance of $425 million of asset-backed securities through the
AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 1998-A. The proceeds from the
transaction were used to repay the borrowings then outstanding under the
Company's warehouse facilities.
In January 1998, the Company issued an additional $50 million of its 9 1/4%
Senior Notes which are due in February 2004. These additional notes have
27
<PAGE>
substantially the same terms as the Company's original $125 million of 9 1/4%
Senior Notes issued in February 1997.
The Company's primary use of cash has been purchases and originations of
receivables. The Company purchased $1,176.7 million of auto finance contracts
during the nine months ended March 31, 1998 requiring cash of $1,161.4 million,
net of acquisition fees and other items. The Company operated 119 auto lending
branch offices as of March 31, 1998 and plans to open six additional branches in
the remainder of fiscal 1998 and 45 branches in fiscal 1999. The Company may
also expand loan production capacity at existing offices where appropriate.
While the Company has been able to establish and grow its auto finance 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 4,594,700 shares at
an aggregate purchase price of $27.3 million had been purchased pursuant to this
program through March 31, 1998, although no common stock has been repurchased
since September 1996. Certain restrictions contained in the Indenture pursuant
to which the 9 1/4% Senior Notes were issued limit the amount of common stock
which may be repurchased by the Company.
As of March 31, 1998, the Company had $15.6 million in cash and cash equivalents
and investment securities. The Company also had available borrowing capacity of
$98.7 million under its bank line of credit pursuant to the borrowing base
requirement of such credit agreement. The Company estimates that it will
require additional external capital for the remainder of fiscal 1998 in addition
to these existing capital resources and collections and recoveries on its
receivables portfolio and excess cash flow distributions from the Trusts in
order to fund expansion of its lending activities, capital expenditures, and
other costs and expenses.
The Company anticipates that such funding will be in the form of additional
securitization transactions. There can be no assurance that funding will be
available to the Company through these sources, or if available, that it will be
on terms acceptable to the Company.
Since the Company's funding strategy is dependent upon the issuance of
interest-bearing securities and the incurrence of debt, fluctuations in interest
rates impact the Company's profitability. The Company utilizes several
strategies to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations, including the use
of hedging instruments, the regular sale of auto receivables to the Trusts and
pre-funding securitizations, whereby the amount of asset-backed securities
issued in a securitization exceeds the amount of receivables initially sold to
the Trust. The proceeds from the pre-funded portion are held in an escrow
account until the Company sells additional receivables to the Trust in amounts
up to the balance of the pre-funded escrow account. In pre-funded
securitizations, the Company locks in the borrowing costs with respect to the
loans it subsequently delivers to the Trust. However, the Company incurs an
expense in pre-funded securitizations equal to the difference between
28
<PAGE>
the money market yields earned on the proceeds held in escrow prior to
subsequent delivery of receivables and the interest rate paid on the
asset-backed securities outstanding. There can be no assurance that these
strategies will be effective in minimizing interest rate risk or that
increases in interest rates will not have an adverse effect on the Company's
profitability.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Company is in the preliminary stages of investigating the impact of the year
2000 issue and developing a remediation plan. The year 2000 issue is whether the
Company's or its vendors' computer systems will properly recognize date
sensitive information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not
properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a
system to fail.
The Company is in the process of conducting an initial assessment of applicable
computer systems to identify the systems that could be affected by the year 2000
issue and has determined that modification or replacement of portions of
existing software will be required. The Company is utilizing both internal and
external resources to identify, modify or replace and test systems for year 2000
compliance. The Company plans to complete application modifications and
upgrades by December 31, 1998, with testing to take place in the first quarter
of calendar year 1999. While the Company has not yet fully evaluated the cost
of year 2000 compliance, such costs are not expected to be material to the
Company's results of operations and liquidity.
The Company presently believes that with modifications to existing software and
conversion to new software, the year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operational problems for the Company's computer systems. However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the
year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Company.
In addition, there can be no assurance that unforeseen problems in the Company's
computer systems, or the systems of third parties on which the Company's
computers rely, would not have an adverse effect on the Company's systems or
operations.
