                           GFC FINANCIAL CORPORATION
              NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 AND 1993


NOTE A       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The consolidated financial statements present the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of GFC Financial Corporation ("GFC
Financial" or the "Company") and include Greyhound Financial Corporation
("GFC") and its subsidiaries, including Ambassador Factors Corporation
(formerly known as Fleet Factors Corp.) ("Ambassador") acquired on February 14,
1994 and TriCon Capital ("TriCon") acquired on April 30, 1994.  The Company
sold its discontinued mortgage insurance operations, Verex Corporation and
subsidiaries, in July 1993.

         This information should be read in connection with the financial
statements set forth in the GFC Financial Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 1993 heretofore filed with the Commission as Annex "A" to the
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10- K, as amended.  The accounting policies
utilized in the preparation of the financial information herein are the same as
set forth in such Annual Report, as modified for interim accounting policies
which are within the guidelines set forth in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 28.

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued a new
accounting standard, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114").  This
standard requires that impaired loans that are within the scope of this
statement generally be measured based on the present value of expected cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the
collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.  Under SFAS 114, a loan is
considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due.  Presently,
the reserve for possible credit losses represents management's estimate of the
amount necessary to cover potential losses in the portfolio considering
delinquencies, loss experience and collateral.  The impact of the new standard,
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994, has not
yet been determined.

         Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits".  Analogous to SFAS No. 106
for postretirement benefits, this standard requires companies to accrue for
estimated future postemployment benefits during the periods when employees are
working.  Postemployment benefits are any benefits other than retirement
benefits that are provided after employment is discontinued.  The adoption of
the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

         The interim consolidated financial information is unaudited.  In the
opinion of management all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30,
1994, the results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1994 and 1993 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993,
have been included. Interim results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for the full year.


NOTE B       PORTFOLIO QUALITY

         The following table presents a breakdown (by line of business) of the
Company's investment in financing transactions before the reserve for possible
credit losses at the dates indicated.

NOTES:      
(1)      Reclassifications (effective January 1, 1993): Approximately $169
         million of accruing assets were reclassified from Corporate Finance
         with $163 million going to Transportation Finance because they
         primarily represented aircraft financing and $6 million to Commercial
         Real Estate Finance.  Additionally, $6.5 million of nonaccruing assets
         ($5.1 million classified as repossessed assets and $1.4 million
         classified as 90 days delinquent) were reclassified from Corporate
         Finance to Commercial Real Estate Finance.

(2)      Domestic Transportation Finance includes $31.9 million of new aircraft
         finance business booked through the London office.  In addition,
         operating leases include certain aircraft and engines having a
         carrying amount of $53.0 million that were combined as one transaction
         pursuant to a participation agreement with an engine and hushkitting
         company.

(3)      European Finance includes $45.3 million of Consumer Finance assets, of
         which $9.6 million are nonaccruing.  Consumer Finance accounts are
         generally considered nonaccruing after being 180 days delinquent.

(4)      The Company earned income totaling $2.7 million on repossessed
         accruing assets during 1993, including $1.5 million in Commercial Real
         Estate Finance, $0.6 million in Communications Finance and $0.6
         million in Resort Finance.

REWRITTEN CONTRACTS:

        In the normal course of business, the Company has renegotiated certain
contracts and has modified them with respect to rates and other terms.  At
June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the Company had approximately $64.1
million and $46.8 million, respectively, of these rewritten contracts
requiring disclosure under the provisions of SFAS No. 15, "Accounting by
Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings".  These contracts are
all current under the revised terms and yield on a weighted average basis a
return of approximately 10.3%.

NONACCRUING ASSETS:

        Income recognition on an account is suspended and the account 
generally is classified as nonaccruing at the earlier of the date when an
account is 90 days or more past due (180 days for Consumer Finance contracts
in the United Kingdom) or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery
of income and principal becomes doubtful.  Payments (full or partial) are
currently being received on some of these accounts; however, income generally
is not recognized until performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

        Total nonaccruals increased to $187.0 million at June 30, 1994 from 
$102.6 million at December 31, 1993.  This increase primarily is due to the
inclusion of nonaccruing assets of TriCon ($60 million) and Ambassador ($14.7
million).  The total at June 30, 1994 represented 3.4% of funds employed and
assets securitized ("managed assets") compared to 3.6% of funds employed at
December 31, 1993.

RESERVE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES FOR POSSIBLE CREDIT LOSSES:

        The reserve and accrued liabilities for possible credit losses of 
$134.2 million at June 30, 1994 represents 2.5% of the aggregate carrying
amount of managed assets before deducting such reserve.  Accrued liabilities
of $18.7 million represent an allowance for estimated losses under certain
recourse provisions on $345.8 million of assets securitized.  Changes in the
reserve for possible credit losses were as follows:

NOTE C       RECEIVABLE TRANSFER AGREEMENTS (SECURITIZATIONS)

        During the six months ended June 30, 1994, the Company transferred its
interests in approximately $125.4 million of its direct finance lease portfolio
for $135.0 million.  These transfers provide limited recourse for credit losses
to the Company and certain of its assets.  As of June 30, 1994, $60.5 million
of finance lease receivables are the sole collateral for certain limited
recourse provisions.  In addition to such finance lease receivables, the
Company has recourse exposure limited to $95.9 million.  An outstanding
allowance for estimated losses under these recourse provisions of $18.7 million
is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The Company will service
these lease contracts for the transferee and has deferred a portion of the
proceeds to be recognized as service fee income over the term of the
agreements.


NOTE D       BORROWINGS

        At June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, commercial paper and
short-term bank borrowings totaling $972 million and $516 million,
respectively, have been presented as long-term debt because they are supported
by available unused revolving credit lines which if not renewed are convertible
to long-term debt at GFC's option.

        Senior and subordinated debt was as follows:

NOTE F       RATIO OF INCOME TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK
             DIVIDENDS

         The following are the ratios of income to combined fixed charges and
preferred stock dividends for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 and
the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991.

</TABLE>

         Note: Preferred stock dividends are included in periods subsequent to 
               March 1992 through July 30, 1993.

         Variations in interest rates generally do not have a substantial
impact on the ratio because fixed-rate and floating-rate assets are generally
matched with liabilities of similar rate and term.

         Income available for fixed charges, for purposes of the computation of
the ratio of income to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends,
consists of the sum of income before income taxes (adjusted for the effect of
reduced tax rates on income from leveraged leases) and fixed charges. Combined
fixed charges include interest and related debt expense and a portion of rental
expense determined to be representative of interest and preferred stock
dividends grossed up to a pre-tax basis.

         For the year ended December 31, 1991, earnings were inadequate to
cover combined fixed charges by $35.3 million.  The decline in the ratio in
1991 was due to restructuring and other charges and transaction costs recorded
in the fourth quarter of 1991.  Those charges and costs were recorded in
connection with the spin-off of the Company from The Dial Corp in March 1992.

NOTE G       PURCHASES OF AMBASSADOR FACTORS AND TRICON CAPITAL CORPORATION

         On February 14, 1994, GFC acquired Ambassador from Fleet Financial
Group, Inc. ("Fleet").  The cash purchase price of the acquisition was
$246,285,000 and represented Ambassador's stockholder's equity, including a
premium ($76,285,000), and repayment of the intercompany balance due from
Ambassador to Fleet ($170,000,000).  In addition, GFC assumed $100,348,000 due
to factored clients, $928,000 of accrued liabilities and $8,800,000 of
additional liabilities and transaction costs.  The acquisition has been
accounted for as a purchase and created approximately $30,400,000 of goodwill,
which will be amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years.

         The acquisition was financed with proceeds received from the sale of
GFC Financial's discontinued mortgage insurance subsidiary and cash generated
from operations.  GFC Financial, simultaneous with the acquisition, increased
its investment in GFC by contributing $40,000,000 of intercompany loans as
additional paid in capital of GFC.

         On April 30, 1994, GFC acquired all of the stock of TriCon from Bell
Atlantic Corporation ("Bell Atlantic"), in an all-cash transaction.  The cash
purchase price of the acquisition was $344,212,000.  In addition, GFC assumed
outstanding indebtedness and liabilities of TriCon totaling $1,500,650,000 and
incurred additional liabilities and acquisition costs of $7,500,000.  The
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and created approximately
$69,817,000 of goodwill, which will be amortized on a straight line basis over
20 years.

         The cash purchase price was financed initially with the proceeds from
the issuance of $300,000,000 of debt securities of GFC and the remainder with
internally generated funds.  A portion of the interim debt was replaced with
the net proceeds from a public offering completed in May 1994 of 8,050,000
shares of the Company's common stock (the "Offering").

         The following Pro Forma Statements of Consolidated Income for the six
months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 have been prepared to reflect net income as
adjusted to reflect the acquisitions of Ambassador and TriCon as if such
acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1994 and 1993, respectively and give
effect to the Offering as of such dates.  The Pro Forma Statements of
Consolidated Income are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the
results that would have occurred if such acquisitions had been consummated as
of January 1, 1994 or January 1, 1993, nor are they necessarily indicative of
the results of future operations.

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


                COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
                     TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1993


         The following discussion relates to GFC Financial Corporation ("GFC
Financial" or the "Company"), including Greyhound Financial Corporation ("GFC")
and subsidiaries, including Ambassador Factors ("Ambassador") acquired on
February 14, 1994 and TriCon Capital ("TriCon") acquired on April 30, 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         Income from continuing operations increased 52% during the six months
of 1994 to $28.7 million from $18.9 million in the comparable 1993 period.  The
1994 results include five months of income from Ambassador and two months of
income from TriCon.  Net income for the 1994 period rose to $28.7 million from
$23.1 million in 1993, an increase of 24%.  Net income in 1993 included $4.2
million of income from the Company's discontinued mortgage insurance subsidiary
sold in July 1993.

         INTEREST MARGINS EARNED.  Interest margins earned, which represent the
difference between interest earned from financing transactions and interest
expense and operating lease depreciation, increased to $98.8 million for the
six months of 1994 from $58.6 million from the comparable period in 1993, an
increase of 69%.

         This increase was driven by the portfolio growth of the core finance
operations, as well as the acquisitions of TriCon and Ambassador in 1994.  The
source of the growth of the core finance operations was the new business volume
of $699 million for the six months of 1994 compared to $352 million for the
1993 period (an increase of 99%).

         Interest margins earned, measured as a percent of average earning
assets, were strong at 6.0%.  This measurement compares to 5.4% for the 1993
period and reflects the contributions of the acquisitions made in 1994 as well
as the continuing strong returns of the core finance operations.

         The improvement in interest margins more than offset the higher
provisions for possible credit losses and the higher selling, administrative
and other operating expenses (collectively "operating expenses").

         NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.  Loss provisions, which increase the reserve for
possible credit losses ("reserve"), were higher by $4.6 million during the
first six months of 1994 compared to the same period in 1993.  The higher loss
provisions are consistent with the requirements of a larger portfolio and the
risk characteristics of some of the businesses acquired.  Higher interest
margins generated by Ambassador and certain TriCon businesses are used to cover
the higher risk profile associated with those businesses.  Management believes
that reserve coverage (reserve and accrued liabilities/nonaccruing assets)
remains adequate at 71.7% of nonaccruing assets and at 2.5% of funds employed
and securitizations.





                                       16
<PAGE>   19
         Selling, administrative and other operating expenses were up by
approximately $18.8 million in the 1994 period primarily attributable to the
acquisitions of TriCon and Ambassador in 1994.  The running rate of these
expenses (measured as a percent of interest margins earned) declined to 47.2%
(for the combined entities) in 1994 from 47.5% for GFC (which excluded TriCon
and Ambassador) in 1993.  On July 18, 1994, the Company announced the
reorganization and integration of its operations with newly- acquired TriCon
and an estimated 10% reduction in personnel over the next several months.
These cost saving initiatives are expected to reduce this running rate for
expenses even further in the future.

         GAINS ON SECURITIZATIONS AND SALE OF ASSETS.  Gains on securitizations
and sale of assets were $2.3 million higher in 1994 compared to the same period
in 1993.  The increase principally is the result of a $4.0 million ($2.4
million after-tax) gain from the securitization of assets by TriCon recorded in
the second quarter of 1994.

         INCOME TAXES.  Income taxes for the six months of 1994 increased to
$19.8 million from $10.6 million in 1993.  This increase is attributable to:
(a) higher income before income taxes; (b) higher income tax rates in 1994
(both federal and state), and (c) increased foreign income taxes.  The overall
effective income tax rate for the Company, including both federal and state
income taxes, approximates 40%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Funds employed increased by $2.3 billion to $5.1 billion at June 30,
1994 from $2.8 billion at December 31, 1993.  This increase is attributable to
the acquisition of TriCon ($1,802 million) and Ambassador ($329 million) in
1994 and new business generated ($699 million) by the core finance operations
in 1994.

         The reserve and accrued liabilities increased by $69.9 million in 1994
to $134.2 million.  The increase in the reserve and accrued liabilities during
the six months consisted of increases due to loss provisions of $8.1 million
which were applicable to portfolio growth, $62.6 million of reserves and
accrued liabilities acquired with TriCon and $10.4 million of reserves acquired
with Ambassador, partially offset by decreases due to write-offs of $12.0
million.

         The Company had total debt of approximately $3,966 million or 5.3
times its equity base of $753 million at June 30, 1994.  The Company also had
deferred income taxes of $191 million at that date as part of its capital base
to help finance its lending activities.

         Growth in funds employed is typically financed by internally generated
cash flow and additional borrowings.  During the first six months of 1994, GFC
issued $827.6 million of new senior debt, which, together with general
corporate funds, was used to finance new business and redeem or retire $743.4
million of maturing debt.

         GFC satisfies a significant portion of its cash requirements from a
diversified group of worldwide funding sources and is not dependent upon any
one lender.  Additionally, GFC relies on the issuance of commercial paper as a
major funding source.  During the first six months of 1994, GFC issued $3.8
billion of commercial paper (with an average of $593 million outstanding during
this period) and raised $827.6 million, as noted above, through new long-term
financing facilities of one to seven year durations.  GFC recently filed a
shelf-registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that
would allow for the issuance of up to $1.0 billion of senior debt securities.
GFC currently maintains a three-year revolving credit facility with numerous
lenders, in the aggregate principal amount of $950 million.  Separately, GFC
also has a 364 day revolving credit facility with the same lenders in the
aggregate principal amount of $950 million.  Both of these facilities support
GFC's outstanding commercial paper and short- term borrowings.

         Maturities of long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 1994 due through
June 2003 (excluding the amount supported by the revolving credit agreements
expected to be renewed) will approximate $445,875,000





                                       17

(for the last six months of 1994), $563,202,000 (1995), $399,221,000 (1996),
$358,625,000 (1997), $349,305,000 (1998) and $874,934,000 (thereafter).

         The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates arising from normal business operations.
Typically, these agreements are entered into when the Company issues new debt
to match the interest rate characteristics of its assets and liabilities.  The
Company continually monitors its position relative to derivatives and does not
utilize speculative derivative instruments.  The agreements have been entered
into with major financial institutions which are expected to fully perform
under the terms of the agreements, thereby mitigating the credit risk from the
transactions.

         GFC had outstanding 43 interest rate conversion agreements with
notional principal amounts totaling $1.8 billion.  Seventeen agreements with
notional principal amounts of $573 million were arranged to effectively convert
certain floating interest rate obligations into fixed interest rate obligations
and require interest payments on the stated principal amount at rates ranging
from 4.1% to 9.3% (remaining terms of one to five years) in return for receipts
calculated on the same notional amounts at floating interest rates.  In
addition, 26 agreements with notional principal amounts of $1.19 billion were
arranged to effectively convert certain fixed interest rate obligations into
floating interest rate obligations and require interest payments on the stated
principal amount at the three month or six month LIBOR (remaining terms of one
to nine years) in return for receipts calculated on the same notional amounts
at fixed interest rates of 4.9% to 7.6%.  In the third quarter of 1993, GFC
entered into four three year interest rate hedge agreements on $750 million of
floating-rate borrowings to effectively guarantee a spread of approximately
2.3% between its borrowing rate (the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"))
and the Prime interest rate.  The Company has also entered into three basis
swaps with notional principal amounts of $178 million and remaining terms of
four months to four years.

         GFC's aggregate cost of funds has declined to 6.0% for the six months
of 1994 from 6.3% for the six months of 1993.  GFC's cost of and access to
capital resources is significantly influenced by its debt ratings.

         GFC Financial announced in the third quarter of 1992 that it intended
to repurchase its securities on the open market, from time to time, to provide
sufficient shares to fund its obligations pursuant to employee stock options,
benefit plans and similar obligations.  The repurchase program was commenced in
the fourth quarter of 1992 with 487,409 shares being acquired through December
31, 1993.  No shares were acquired in the first six months of  1994.  The
program may be discontinued at any time.

         The agreements pertaining to long-term debt of GFC include various
restrictive covenants and require the maintenance of certain defined financial
ratios with which GFC has complied.  Under one of these covenants, dividend
payments are limited to 50 percent of the sum of accumulated earnings and the
proceeds from equity issued, excluding the Offering, after December 31, 1991.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         Following the spin-off from The Dial Corp in March 1992, the Company
decided to focus its resources and capital on its core domestic commercial
finance activities.  The Company embarked on a program of selling or winding
down those businesses included in the spin-off that were not associated with
the Company's core domestic commercial finance activities.  The Company has
concentrated on redeploying the capital previously invested in such businesses
and has raised additional capital to support internal portfolio growth and to
make selected acquisitions which complement the Company's core operations.
This strategy has resulted in (i) the managed liquidation and sale of the
Greyhound European Financial Group and Latin America loan portfolios, (ii) an
increase (excluding acquisitions) in GFC's domestic loan portfolio from March
31, 1992, (iii) the acquisition of the Asset Based Finance group from U.S.
Bancorp, (iv) the sale of the discontinued mortgage insurance subsidiary, (v)
the acquisition of Ambassador, and (vi) the acquisition of TriCon.  In 1994,
the Company raised an additional $226.6 million of equity through the sale of
8,050,000 shares in a secondary offering, has expanded its debt sources through
a $1 billion shelf registration with the SEC and has increased its revolving
credit lines to $1.9 billion.  As a result of the execution of its business
strategy, management

believes that the Company now ranks among the largest independent commercial
finance companies, based on assets, in the United States, and can direct its
energies primarily to its core business operations in the United States, rather
than on terminating discontinued operations.
