                   NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


GENERAL

The consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to
conform with current year presentation.

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for a full year.

The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements included in the Registrant's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

Effective at the beginning of 1994, the Registrant adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (FAS 115).  The adoption of FAS 115
had no material effect on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements.

INVESTMENTS

The Registrant's investment portfolio consists of both debt and equity
securities.  While it is the Registrant's intention to hold its debt securities
until maturity and its equity securities long-term, the Registrant may sell
certain of these securities in response to market conditions or business
requirements.  Therefore, upon adoption of FAS 115, effective January 1, 1994,
the Registrant classified all of its investment portfolio as available for
sale.  Following the reclassification, the carrying amount of all debt
securities then classified as available for sale was adjusted to fair value,
and the resulting unrealized gain of $16.5 million, net of applicable income
taxes, was recorded as an increase to the securities valuation adjustment
component of stockholder's equity.  At January 1, 1994 and June 30, 1994, the
Registrant's consolidated stockholder's equity included net unrealized
investment portfolio gains of $48.5 million and $19.1 million, net of
applicable taxes, respectively.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 COMPARED TO THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1993.

Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1994 was $125.9
million compared to $111.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1993, an
increase of $14.8 million (13.3%).  The increase resulted primarily from:  
(i) an increase in the level of receivables outstanding as average finance
receivables were $5.470 billion for the first six months of 1994 compared to
$5.149 billion during the first six months of 1993; (ii) a decrease in the cost
of borrowed funds to 6.43% for the first six months of 1994 from 7.02% for the
like period in 1993; (iii) a decrease in insurance losses and policy
acquisition costs; and (iv) an increase in investment income due to improving
yields.  This increase in income was partially offset by a decrease in yields
on finance receivables.  Due to declines in the cost of borrowed funds in all
of the countries in which the Registrant operates, the Registrant lowered the
rate of interest it charged to customers on finance receivables.  As a result,
interest income as a percent of average finance receivables (on an annualized
basis) was 18.51% for the first six months of 1994 compared to 19.20% for the
like period in 1993.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1994 were $664.4 million compared to
$656.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1993.  The net increase
resulted primarily from:  (i) an increase of approximately $35.2 million from
the higher level of receivables outstanding described above and (ii) an
increase in investment income due to improving yields.  These increases were
largely offset by:  (i) a decrease of approximately $18.7 million from the
aforementioned decline in yields on finance receivables and (ii) a reduction in
non-related insurance operation revenues due to a decrease in premiums earned.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1993.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1994 was $64.0
million compared to $56.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1993, an
increase of $7.8 million (13.8%).  The increase in income resulted primarily
from:  (i) an increase in the level of receivables outstanding; (ii) a decrease
in the cost of borrowed funds; (iii) a decrease in insurance losses and policy
acquisition costs; and (iv) an increase in investment income due to improving
yields.  This increase in income was partially offset by a decrease in yields
on finance receivables.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1994 were $336.8 million compared
to $329.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1993.  This increase
resulted primarily from:  (i) an increase of approximately $18.5 million from
the higher level of receivables outstanding described above and (ii) an
increase in investment income due to improving yields.  These increases were
largely offset by:  (i) a decrease of approximately $9.0 million from the
aforementioned decline in yields on finance receivables and (ii) a reduction in
non-related insurance operation revenues due to a decrease in premiums earned.

PART I.     FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Registrant utilizes a broad base of financial sources for its liquidity and
capital requirements.  Cash is provided from both operations and several
different sources of borrowings, including unsecured borrowings under bank
lines of credit, the issuance of commercial paper and sales of medium- and
long-term debt in the U.S. and foreign financial markets.

During the first six months of 1994, the Registrant had $295.0 million of
interest rate exchange agreements go into effect.  Of these, $100.0 million
expire in 1995 and had the effect of exchanging the indices used to determine
interest expense under certain variable rate borrowings at June 30, 1994 for
the purpose of better matching the rate of interest incurred on the
Registrant's financing with the rate of interest earned on certain of the
Registrant's variable rate finance receivables.  The remainder of the
agreements, which have a weighted average original term of 4.2 years and expire
through 1999, had the effect of fixing the rate of interest at approximately
6.6% on $195.0 million of variable rate borrowings at June 30, 1994.

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.          LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

                 Because the business of the Registrant involves the collection
                 of numerous accounts, the validity of liens, accident and
                 other damage or loss claims under many types of insurance, and
                 compliance with state and federal consumer laws, the
                 Registrant and its subsidiaries are plaintiffs and defendants
                 in numerous legal proceedings, including individual and class
                 action proceedings which seek compensatory, treble or punitive
                 damages in substantial amounts.  It is the opinion of the
                 Registrant's management, based upon the advice of its counsel,
                 that the aggregate liability from pending or threatened
                 litigation will not have a material effect on the Registrant's
                 net income or financial condition.
