                   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.

      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, 1994.

      ACQUISITIONS

      In January 1995, the Registrant purchased the stock of HFC of Australia
      Ltd. and its Australian subsidiaries (HFCA), subsidiaries of
      Household International, Inc. The Registrant paid $39.8 million in
      cash and assumed liabilities of approximately $435 million.
      This acquisition added approximately $436 million to the Registrant's
      finance receivable portfolio.

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

      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED
      TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994.                                 

      Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was
      $139.2 million compared to $125.9 million for the six months ended June
      30, 1994, an increase of $13.3 million (10.6%). This increase resulted
      primarily from: (i) an increase in the level of receivables
      outstanding as average finance receivables were $6.826 billion for the
      first six months of 1995 compared to $5.470 billion during the first six
      months of 1994; (ii) an increase in earned premium and a decrease in
      the ratio of insurance losses to earned premium; (iii) a decrease in
      the ratio of charge-offs to average finance receivables; and (iv) an
      increase in investment income due primarily to higher yields and a higher
      level of invested assets. This increase in income was partially offset
      by: (i) an increase in the cost of borrowed funds to 7.41% for the
      first six months in 1995 from 6.43% for the like period in 1994; (ii)
      an increase in contingent commissions in the independent insurance
      lines due primarily to improved loss experience; and (iii) lower
      receivable yields due primarily to an increase in the percent of the
      finance receivable portfolio representing retail installment contracts,
      which are lower yielding. Interest income as a percent of average
      finance receivables (on an annualized basis) was 17.88% for the first six
      months of 1995 compared to 18.51% for the like period in 1994.

      Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $804.4 million
      compared to $664.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994,
      an increase of $140.0 million (21.1%). This increase resulted primarily
      from the increase in the level of receivables outstanding, earned
      premium, and investment income, partially offset by a decrease of
      approximately $12.9 million from the decline in yields on finance
      receivables.

      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
      COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994.                

      Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was
      $69.5 million compared to $64.0 million for the three months ended June
      30, 1994, an increase of $5.5 million (8.7%). This increase in income
      resulted primarily from: (i) an increase in the level of receivables
      outstanding; (ii) an increase in earned premium; and (iii) an
      increase in investment income due primarily to higher yields and a
      higher level of invested assets. This increase in income was
      partially offset by: (i) an increase in the cost of borrowed funds and
      (ii) a decrease in yields on finance receivables.

      Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1995 were $406.8 million
      compared to $336.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1994,
      an increase of $70.0 million (20.8%). This increase resulted primarily
      from the higher level of receivables outstanding, earned premium, and
      investment income, partially offset by the decrease in finance receivable
      yields.

      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.

      Under certain interest rate exchange agreements, the Registrant makes
      periodic fixed payments in exchange for periodic variable payments.
      The Registrant enters into such agreements to mitigate its exposure to
      increases in interest rates on a portion of its variable rate debt.
      During the first six months of 1995, the Registrant had $305.7 million
      of these agreements go into effect. These agreements have a weighted
      average original term of 2.1 years and expire through 1999. In
      addition, the Registrant had $250.0 million in basis swap agreements
      go into effect during the first six months of 1995. These
      agreements, which expire in 1996, had the effect of exchanging the
      indices used to determine interest expense under certain variable
      rate borrowings.  These agreements serve to better match the rate of
      interest the Registrant incurred on its financing with the rate of
      interest earned on certain of its variable rate receivables. The
      effect of the basis swap agreements on the Registrant's average annual
      cost of borrowed funds is not material.

      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.

                  (b)   Reports on Form 8-K
                        During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Registrant 
                        filed two reports on Form 8-K:

                        Report dated May 1, 1995, relating to the
                        Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
                        fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 to describe the
                        purpose and effects of the Registrant's use of
                        interest rate exchange agreements (swaps) to manage
                        its ratio of short-term variable rate debt to fixed
                        rate long-term debt.

                        Report dated June 29, 1995, relating to the
                        Registrant's Registration Statement No. 33-55953 with
                        respect to which the Registrant commenced an
                        offering from time to time of $700,000,000 of Medium
                        Term Notes, Series G, due from more than nine months
                        to 10 years from date of issues.
