                   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 March 31, 1994, the
Registrant's consolidated stockholder's equity included net unrealized
investment portfolio gains of $48.5 million and $28.4 million, net of
applicable taxes, respectively.

PART I.     FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1993.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was $61.9
million compared to $54.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1993, an
increase of $7.0 million (12.8%).  The increase resulted primarily from: (i) an
increase in the level of receivables outstanding as average finance receivables
were $5.438 billion for the first three months of 1994 compared to $5.125
billion during the first three months of 1993 and (ii) a decrease in the cost
of borrowed funds to 6.44% for the first three months of 1994 from 7.21% for
the like period in 1993.  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 has lowered the rate of interest it charges customers on finance
receivables.  As a result, interest income as a percent of average finance
receivables (on an annualized basis) was 18.48% for the first three months of
1994 compared to 19.21% for the like period in 1993.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1994 were $327.6 million compared
to $327.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1993.  Although total
revenues were relatively unchanged, revenues for the first three months of 1994
reflect an increase of approximately $16.7 million due to the higher level of
receivables outstanding described above, largely offset by: (i) a decrease of
approximately $9.7 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.

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 three months of 1994, the Registrant had $128.1 million of
interest rate exchange agreements go into effect.  These agreements, which have
a weighted average original term of 4.7 years and expire through 1999, had the
effect of fixing the rate of interest at approximately 6.1% on $128.1 million
of variable rate borrowings at March 31, 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.
