                              THE FINOVA GROUP INC.
          NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE A        BASIS OF PREPARATION

         The consolidated financial statements present the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of The FINOVA Group Inc. and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "FINOVA" or the "Company"), including FINOVA Capital
Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, "FINOVA Capital").

         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 March 31,
1996, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, have
been included. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations for the full year.

NOTE B        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of",
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement
establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held
and used and long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of. The statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In addition, the statement
requires that certain long-lived assets and intangibles to be disposed of be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The
Company adopted this accounting standard effective January 1, 1996, as required.
The effect on the Company's financial position and the results of operations was
not material.

         In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", effective for transactions entered into in fiscal
years that begin after December 15, 1995. As permitted under the provisions of
SFAS 123, the Company continues to account for such compensation under existing
rules and will provide the required pro forma disclosures in the 1996 Annual
Report.

NOTE C        PORTFOLIO QUALITY

         The following table presents a breakdown (by line of business) of the

         The reserve for possible credit losses of $144.8 million at March 31,
1996 represents 2.0% of managed assets (investment in financing transactions and

possible credit losses were as follows:

         The Company believes that collateral values significantly reduce its
loss exposure and that the reserve for possible credit losses is adequate.

         The specific impairment reserve of $14.8 million at March 31, 1996
applies to $33.2 million of the $86.7 million of impaired loans. The remaining
$130.0 million of the reserve for possible credit losses is designated for
general purposes and represents management's estimate of the amount to cover
potential losses in the portfolio considering delinquencies, loss experience and
collateral. Additions to general and specific reserves are reflected in current
operations. Management may transfer reserves between the general and specific
reserves as considered necessary.

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

               COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
                    TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

         The following discussion relates to The FINOVA Group Inc. and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "FINOVA" or the "Company"), including FINOVA Capital
Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, "FINOVA Capital").

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net income for the first quarter of 1996 was $27.1 million ($0.97 per
common share) compared to $22.4 million ($0.80 per common share) for the first
quarter of 1995, a 21% increase in earnings per common share.

         INTEREST MARGINS EARNED. Interest margins earned, which represent the
difference between (a) interest and income earned from financing transactions
and (b) interest expense and depreciation, increased by 22% in 1996 to $94.2
million from $77.5 million in 1995, primarily due to growth in managed assets
(investment in financing transactions plus securitizations). The growth in
managed assets was driven by new business, which totaled $723 million for the
first quarter of 1996 compared to $478 million for 1995, an increase of 51%.
Also contributing to the increase in interest margins were higher amounts of the
fee based factoring and floor planning business which totaled $694 million in
the first quarter of 1996, an increase of 82% over the $381 million done in the
first quarter of 1995.

                                        6
<PAGE>   9
         Interest margins earned as a percentage of average earning assets
increased to 5.8% in 1996 from 5.7% in 1995, primarily due to prepayment fees
received in connection with early terminations in the first quarter of 1996 and
lower interest costs.

         NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Loss provisions, which increase the reserve for
possible credit losses ("reserves"), were 1.4x write-offs and exceeded the
comparable loss provision for the first quarter of 1995 by $7.9 million,
primarily due to the growth in managed assets. Reserve coverage improved to
86.4% of nonaccruing assets at March 31, 1996 from 70.9% in 1995.

         Selling, administrative and other operating expenses increased by $6.8
million in 1996 due to the continued growth of the Company, the large volume of
new business added and employee incentives related to improved Company
performance. As a percentage of interest margins earned, these costs decreased
to 46.0% in 1996 from 47.2% in the previous year.

         GAINS ON SALE OF ASSETS. Gains on sale of assets were $3.7 million
higher in 1996 compared to 1995 primarily due to the amount and type of assets
coming off lease.

         INCOME TAXES. Income taxes for the first quarter of 1996 increased to
$16.2 million from $15.1 million in 1995. This increase was caused by the
increase in pre-tax income in 1996. The 1996 overall effective income tax rate
for the Company approximated 37.3% compared to 40.3% in 1995. The decrease in
the effective rate is primarily related to lower state and foreign tax effects,
as well as to increased tax exempt municipal income.

         FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Managed assets increased by $196.9 million to $7,319 million at March
31, 1996 from $7,122 million at December 31, 1995. This increase is primarily
attributable to the $723 million of new business generated in 1996, offset by
portfolio amortization.

         The reserve for possible credit losses increased by $4.4 million in
1996 to $144.8 million. The increase in the reserve consisted primarily of
increases due to loss provisions of $14.3 million which were applicable to
portfolio growth, partially offset by write-offs of $10.4 million.

         Nonaccruing assets decreased to $167.5 million at March 31, 1996 from
$167.9 million at December 31, 1995. When measured as a percent of ending
managed assets, nonaccruing assets declined to 2.3% at March 31, 1996 from 2.4%
at December 31, 1995.

         The Company had total debt of approximately $5.7 billion or 6.8 times
its equity base of $847 million at March 31, 1996. The Company also had deferred
income taxes of $226 million, generally used to reduce debt and, therefore, help
finance lending activities.

         Growth in funds employed is generally financed by internally generated
cash flow and additional borrowings. During the first three months, FINOVA
Capital issued $190 million in new senior debt, which, together with general
corporate funds and net commercial paper borrowings, was used to finance new
business and redeem or retire $219 million of debt.

         RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

         The Company continues to execute its strategy of providing financing to
midsize companies operating in the industries served by the Company's 14 lines
of business. Management believes the

                                        7
<PAGE>   10
Company ranks among the largest independent commercial finance companies, based
on assets, in the United States. The Company continues to seek new business by
emphasizing customer service, providing competitive interest rates and focusing
on selected market niches. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate
potential acquisition opportunities that it believes are consistent with its
business strategies.

         NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of",
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement
establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held
and used and long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of. The statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In addition, the statement
requires that certain long-lived assets and intangibles to be disposed of be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The
Company adopted this accounting standard effective January 1, 1996, as required.
The effect on the Company's financial position and the results of operations was
not material.

         In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", effective for transactions entered into in fiscal
years that begin after December 15, 1995. As permitted under the provisions of
SFAS 123, the Company continues to account for such compensation under existing
rules and will provide the required pro forma disclosures in the 1996 Annual
Report.
