INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To The Administration Committee and
 Plan Participants of
 GFC Financial Corporation
 Capital Accumulation Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of GFC Financial Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan (the "Plan") as
of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993 and for the
period from March 18, 1992 (date of inception) to December 31, 1992.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1993 and for the period from March 18, 1992 (date of
inception) to December 31, 1992 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules on pages 11
and 12 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in our audit of the basic 1993 financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated, in all material respects when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
                     AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM MARCH 18, 1992
                    (DATE OF INCEPTION) TO DECEMBER 31, 1992


1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         The following brief description of the GFC Financial Corporation
         Capital Accumulation Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general
         information purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan
         documents for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

         a.      GENERAL - The Plan was established March 18, 1992 (date of
                 inception) in connection with the spin-off of GFC Financial
                 Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "GFCFC") by
                 The Dial Corp ("TDC").  The assets of the Plan were formerly
                 held in the Dial Companies Capital Accumulation Plan ("Dial
                 Plan") for the benefit of employees of the Company
                 participating in the Dial Plan.  These amounts were
                 transferred to the Plan in 1992.  Effective May 3, 1993,
                 employees of the Company are eligible to become a participant
                 in the Plan upon employment by the Company or at the beginning
                 of any month thereafter.  Employees are able to reduce their
                 salaries on a pre-tax basis which the Company contributes to
                 the Plan.  After-tax contributions are also permitted.  The
                 Plan is subject to various regulations, particularly those
                 under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) and the Employee
                 Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

         b.      INVESTMENT PROGRAMS - Receipts of the Plan are invested by the
                 Plan's trustee, T. Rowe Price, at the designation of the
                 participants.  Except as noted below, the Plan offers
                 participants the following funds in which to invest pre- tax,
                 after-tax and rollover deposits.

                 (1)      VANGUARD WINDSOR FUND - This managed fund invests in
                          the common stock of other companies.  The fair value
                          of the fund is dependent on the market value of the
                          stocks.  The dividends received are reinvested.

                 (2)      T. ROWE PRICE STABLE VALUE FUND - This fund invests
                          in a diversified portfolio of guaranteed investment
                          contracts issued by insurance companies, bank
                          investment contracts issued by financial institutions
                          and strategic investment contracts issued by
                          insurance companies, financial institutions and other
                          entities.  Income is earned based on a blended
                          interest rate determined by the various investments
                          and is reinvested.  The fair value of the fund
                          represents contract value, which includes
                          contributions made, plus interest at the blended
                          rate, less withdrawals by participants.

                 (3)      T. ROWE PRICE PRIME RESERVE FUND - This managed fund
                          invests in short-term money market instruments such
                          as certificates of deposit, treasury bills and
                          corporate notes which earn income based on short-term
                          interest rates.  The fair value of the fund is the
                          cost basis of the investment.  The income received is
                          reinvested.

                 (4)      T. ROWE PRICE EQUITY INDEX FUND - This managed fund
                          invests in the common stock of other companies.  The
                          fair value of the fund is dependent on the market
                          value of the stocks.  The dividends received are
                          reinvested.

                 (5)      VANGUARD BOND MARKET FUND - This managed fund invests
                          in U.S. government and corporate bonds and mortgage-
                          backed securities, which earn income based on
                          interest rates.  The fair value of the fund is
                          dependent on the market value of the investments.
                          The income received is reinvested.

                 (6)      THE DIAL CORP COMMON STOCK - This fund is invested in
                          the common stock of TDC, and any dividends paid on
                          the stock are reinvested in GFCFC common stock.  The
                          fair value of this fund is dependent upon the
                          fluctuations in the market value of the stock.

                 (7)      GFC FINANCIAL CORPORATION COMMON STOCK - This fund is
                          invested in the common stock of GFCFC, and any
                          dividends paid on the stock are reinvested in the
                          fund.  The fair value of this fund is dependent upon
                          the fluctuations in the market value of the stock.

                 (8)      U.S. BANCORP COMMON STOCK - This fund is invested in
                          the common stock of U.S. Bancorp.  Employees are not
                          permitted to make new investments in this fund,
                          therefore, any dividends paid on the stock are
                          reinvested in GFCFC common stock.  The fair value of
                          this fund is dependent upon the fluctuations in the
                          market value of the stock.

                 (9)      PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE - The Plan allows
                          participants to borrow up to 50% of their vested
                          account balance, subject to certain restrictions.
                          Such loans have terms of one to five years, except
                          residential mortgage loans, which may have terms up
                          to 25 years.  Effective March 16, 1993, the Plan was
                          amended to eliminate the three month waiting period
                          between loans and to allow participants to have two
                          loans outstanding concurrently; one mortgage loan and
                          one shorter term loan.

         c.      CONTRIBUTIONS - Voluntary wage reductions may be elected by
                 the employee.  Effective May 3, 1993, these pre-tax reductions
                 are contributed to the Plan by the Company and may range from
                 1% to 22% of taxable compensation ("as defined").  Each
                 employee may elect an after-tax contribution equal to the
                 difference between their pre-tax contributions and 22%.

                 The Company's matching contributions begin for employees
                 participating in the Plan on their first anniversary of
                 employment and are made to the GFCFC Employees' Stock
                 Ownership Plan ("ESOP").  The matching contributions are based
                 on employee pre-tax salary reductions to the Plan, up to a
                 maximum of 100% of the first 3% of salary reduction.  No
                 employer contributions are made based on after-tax
                 contributions. The Company's contributions are at the
                 discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and are
                 invested in GFCFC's common stock, to be held in the ESOP.

                 Shares of TDC common stock credited to a participant's account
                 as a result of matching contributions made to the Dial
                 Companies Capital Accumulation Plan shall continue to be held
                 for the participant in the Plan.  Such common stock may be
                 converted to GFCFC common stock at the participant's option;
                 and any dividends paid on TDC common stock are used to
                 purchase GFCFC common stock.

                 In February 1993, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
                 stock of U.S. Bancorp Financial, Inc., now known as Greyhound
                 Financial Capital Corporation.  During 1993, the balances in
                 the accounts of retained employees who participated in the
                 U.S. Bancorp Employee Investment Plan ("U.S. Bancorp Plan")
                 were transferred to the Plan.  Shares of U.S. Bancorp common
                 stock credited to a participant's account as a result of
                 matching contributions made to the U.S. Bancorp Plan shall
                 continue to be held for the participant in the Plan.  Such
                 common stock may be converted to GFCFC common stock at the
                 participant's option; and any dividends paid on the U.S.
                 Bancorp common stock are used to purchase GFCFC common stock.

                 All contributions are limited to the applicable amounts as
                 prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code.

         d.      DISTRIBUTIONS - Distributions of Plan assets may occur upon
                 participant termination from the Company, financial hardship,
                 disablement, retirement or death.

         e.      VESTING - Contributions to the Plan are 100% vested and
                 nonforfeitable at all times.

         f.      PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - For each participant, various accounts
                 are maintained to record employee pre-tax wage reductions,
                 after-tax employee deductions, Company matching contributions
                 to the ESOP and participant rollover deposits transferred to
                 the Plan.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is
                 the total benefit which can be provided from the combined
                 amount of these participant accounts.

         g.      PLAN ADMINISTRATION - The Plan is administered by a committee
                 of at least three persons appointed by the Chief Executive
                 Officer of the Company.  Expenses pertaining to the
                 administration of the Plan may be paid by the Plan or directly
                 by the Company, at its option.

         h.      PLAN TERMINATION - While it is the Company's intention to
                 continue the Plan, the Company has the right to terminate or
                 amend the Plan at any time.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         a.      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements of the Plan are
                 prepared under the accrual basis of accounting.

         b.      INVESTMENT VALUE AND INCOME RECOGNITION - The Plan's
                 investments are stated at fair value.  Shares of registered
                 investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which
                 represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at
                 year-end.  Common stock is valued at its quoted market price.
                 Participant notes receivable are valued at cost which
                 approximates fair value.

                 Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date
                 basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
                 Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

         c.      PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Benefits are recorded when paid.

3.       CHANGES IN NET ASSETS BY FUND

         The following tables represent the changes in net assets available for
         benefits by investment fund for the year ended December 31, 1993 and

4.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by T. Rowe
         Price.  T. Rowe Price is the trustee as defined by the Plan and,
         therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest.

5.       FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

         The Plan is in the process of applying for a determination letter from
         the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan is in compliance with the
         applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan
         Administrator believes that the Plan is operating in compliance with
         all requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is
         exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code.

6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         In February 1994, the Company acquired Ambassador Factors Corporation
         ("Ambassador") (formerly known as Fleet Factors Corp.) Fleet Financial
         Group Inc.'s ("Fleet") factoring and asset based lending subsidiary.
         Ambassador's 401K Plan will be retained by Fleet, however,
         participants in the Ambassador Plan will be allowed to rollover their
         individual accounts into the Plan.

         In April 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
         TriCon Capital Corporation ("TriCon") from Bell Atlantic Corporation.
         TriCon was subsequently merged into the Company.  The balances in the
         accounts of retained employees who participated in the Bell Atlantic
         Savings Plan will be transferred to the Plan.  Such employees are
         entitled to retain all or part of their accounts in the Bell Atlantic
         Common Stock Fund, subject to certain restrictions.
