THE FINOVA GROUP INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- -----------------------------------
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 of normal recurring items,
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1998, and the
results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997, have been included. Interim results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for the full year.
Previously, volume-based fees, which represent fees generated by the
Inventory, Factoring and Realty Capital lines of business, were classified as a
component of interest and income earned from financing transactions. Commencing
in 1998, the Company has reported these amounts as a separate item and
reclassified prior period amounts accordingly. This change in classification has
no effect on previously reported net income or earnings per share.
NOTE B SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The statement changes the reporting of certain items
currently reported in the shareowners' equity section of the balance sheet and
establishes standards for reporting of comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The company has adopted
this standard effective January 1, 1998. Total comprehensive income was
$39,019,000 and $30,067,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The primary component of comprehensive income other than net
income was foreign currency translation.
NOTE C PORTFOLIO QUALITY

delinquencies, loss experience and collateral. Additions to the 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, 1998
TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
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 three months ended March 31, 1998 was $39.1 million
($0.66 per diluted share) compared to $31.7 million ($0.56 per diluted share)
for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Interest margins earned. Interest margins earned represents the
difference between (a) interest and income earned from financing transactions
and operating lease income and (b) interest expense and depreciation on
operating leases. Interest margins earned were $108.7 million for the first
three months of 1998, an increase of 14% over interest margins earned of $95.7
million for the first quarter of 1997. The increase was primarily due to a 16%
increase in managed assets to $9.13 billion at March 31, 1998 from $7.86 billion
at March 31, 1997.
6
<PAGE>
As a percentage of average earning assets (average managed assets less
nonearning assets and deferred taxes on leveraged leases), interest margins
earned were 5.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 5.5% for
the first three months of 1997. The slight decrease in margin percentage was
partially due to growth in earning assets occurring later in the quarter in 1998
than in 1997.
Volume-based fee income. Volume-based fee income is generated by
FINOVA's Inventory, Factoring and Realty Capital lines of business. These fees
are predominately based on volume originated rather than the balance of
outstanding financing transactions during the period. For the three months ended
March 31, 1998, volume-based fee income was $22.2 million compared to $7.8
million in the first quarter of 1997. Fee-based volume for the first three
months of 1998 totaled $1.8 billion compared to $0.8 billion in the same period
one year ago. Included in the first quarter of 1998 were fees associated with
FINOVA Realty Capital and the Inventory Finance portfolio purchased from AT&T
Capital Corp., both of which were acquired in the fourth quarter of 1997.
Provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses increased
to $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $8.0
million for the first quarter of 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to
an increase in managed assets. Write-offs during the first three months of 1998
totaled $13.9 million, compared to $5.3 million in the first quarter of 1997,
and included approximately $9.2 million of loans, relating primarily to the
Factoring line of business, for which a specific reserve had previously been
provided.
Gains on disposal of assets. Gains on the disposal of assets were $1.2
million in the first quarter of 1998, compared to $3.2 million during the same
period a year ago. Gains on disposal primarily relate to the sale of assets
coming off lease. While, in the aggregate, FINOVA historically recognizes gains
on such disposals, the timing and amount of these gains is sporadic in nature.
There can be no assurance FINOVA will recognize such gains in the future,
depending, in part, on market conditions at the time of sale.
Selling, administrative and other operating expenses. Selling,
administrative and other operating expenses ("operating expenses") were
generally higher in all major categories and increased to $57.0 million during
the first three months of 1998 compared to $45.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, an increase of 24%. A primary reason for this increase was
the growth in managed assets during the year. Also contributing to the increase
was the addition of FINOVA Realty Capital which has a higher operating cost
structure than FINOVA, including over 80 business development officers and the
associated support staff. Notwithstanding, operating expenses were 43.5% of
interest margins and fees earned for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared
to 44.3% for the first quarter of 1997.
Income taxes. Income taxes were higher in the first quarter of 1998
than the first quarter of 1997 primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income.
In addition, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was
39.0% compared to 37.9% in the first three months of 1997. The increase in
effective rate was primarily the result of lower levels of non-taxable municipal
income and higher state taxes.

<PAGE>
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 1998, managed assets totaled $9.13 billion compared to
$8.86 billion at December 31, 1997. Included in managed assets at March 31, 1998
are $8.67 billion in funds employed (including $153 million of financing
contracts held for sale generated by FINOVA Realty Capital), $336 million of
securitized assets managed by FINOVA and $129 million of participations sold to
third parties. The increase in managed assets was due to funded new business of
$692 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $612 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, partially offset by normal portfolio
amortization and prepayments.
The reserve for credit losses decreased slightly to $176.0 million at
March 31, 1998 from $177.0 million at December 31, 1997. The reserve at the end
of 1997 included amounts for certain specifically reserved accounts,
approximately $9.2 million of which were written off in the first quarter of
1998. At March 31, 1998, the reserve for credit losses represents 2.0% of ending
managed assets (excluding participations), the same percentage as year-end.
Non-accruing assets at March 31, 1998 increased to $195.3 million, or 2.2% of
ending managed assets (excluding participations), compared to $187.6 million, or
2.1% of ending managed assets (excluding participations) at year end.
At March 31, 1998, FINOVA had $7.12 billion of debt outstanding
compared to $6.76 billion at December 31, 1997. Included in debt at March 31,
1998 is approximately $3.6 billion of commercial paper and short-term borrowings
supported by unused long-term revolving-credit agreements. FINOVA's debt at the
end of the first quarter of 1998 is 5.75 times the company's equity base of
$1.24 billion (including $111.6 million of convertible preferred stock). At
year-end 1997, FINOVA's debt was 5.63 times the equity base of $1.20 billion.
Growth in funds employed is financed by FINOVA's internally generated
funds and new borrowings. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, FINOVA
issued $100 million of new long-term borrowings and recognized a net increase in
commercial paper outstanding of $474 million. During the same period, FINOVA
repaid $223 million of long-term borrowings.
Recent Developments and Business Outlook
FINOVA continues to seek new business by emphasizing customer service,
providing competitive interest rates and focusing on selected market niches.
Additionally, FINOVA continues to evaluate potential acquisition opportunities
it believes are consistent with its business strategies. The company continues
to integrate the fourth quarter acquisitions of the business of Belgravia
Capital Corporation and the inventory finance portfolio acquired from AT&T
Capital Corporation.
