   Item 2.   Other Events.


        On February 14, 1994, GFC Financial Corporation ("GFCFC"), through  its
   wholly-owned subsidiary,  Greyhound Financial Corporation  ("GFC"), acquired
   Fleet Factors Corporation, operating under the trade name Ambassador Factors
   ("Ambassador"), from Fleet  Financial Group, Inc.  ("Fleet").  The  purchase
   price   of  the  acquisition  was  $257,085,000   in  cash  and  represented
   Ambassador's  stockholder's  equity plus  a  premium  and  repayment of  the
   intercompany  balance  due  from Ambassador  to  Fleet.    GFC financed  the
   acquisition with  proceeds received  from the  sale of  GFCFC's discontinued
   mortgage insurance subsidiary and cash  generated from operations which  was
   previously used to repay outstanding commercial paper.  GFCFC,  simultaneous
   with  the  acquisition,  increased its  investment  in GFC  by  contributing
   $40,000,000 of intercompany loans as additional paid in capital of GFC.
