                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.  GENERAL INFORMATION

Automobile Credit Finance IV, Inc. (the Company), is a Texas Corporation
organized on March 3, 1993 by Search Capital Group, Inc. ("Search"), who owns
100% of the Company's common stock.  The Company was established to purchase
retail installment sales contracts created by Search to finance sales of used
automobiles and light trucks.

The information presented herein includes adjustments which the Company
management believes are necessary for fair presentation of its financial
position and results of operations.  Substantially all of the disclosures
required for annual financial reports have been omitted.  These interim
financial statements and related notes are unaudited, and should be read in
conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1994.

Search and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Automobile Credit Acceptance
Corporation ("ACAC") and Consumer-Dealer AUTOCREDIT ("CDAC"), are engaged
primarily in the motor vehicle receivable purchasing and servicing business.
ACAC and CDAC have a network of new and used third party vehicle dealers who
generate vehicle receivables and sell them to the Company or other ACAC
designees.

2.  AUTOMOBILE CONTRACT NOTES OFFERING

Pursuant to an Indenture dated as of July 1, 1993, with ACAC and Texas Commerce
Trust National Association (the "Trustee"), the Company has issued $10,000,000
in 14% Automobile Contract Notes due December 31, 1996 (the "Notes").  The
Notes required monthly interest payments payable monthly at a rate of 3% per
annum until October 15, 1993, and 14% per annum payable monthly thereafter.
The Company's public offering of the Notes was completed in December, 1993.

The Indenture requires that all of the Company's excess cash flow after
September 30, 1995, must be deposited into a sinking fund held by the trustee
for payment of the Notes.  Under the terms of the Indenture, and with the
approval of the Trustee in the event of default, the Company would be able to
repay the Notes, in part, through sinking fund cash from collections on
outstanding contracts through December 31, 1996 and sale or collection of the
remaining balances on outstanding contracts at December 31, 1996.

The Company paid its offering and organizational fees and costs out of the
gross sales proceeds from the Notes.  These fees and costs of $1,262,000 were
limited to 13.5% of the gross sales proceeds.

It is currently estimated that the Company will have insufficient sinking fund
cash to pay the holders of the Company's Notes in full, due to the collection
performance of contracts owned by the Company and will be in default under the
terms of the indenture on the maturity date.  See further discussion in Item 2
under management's discussion of liquidity and capital resources of
management's intention to convert the Company's existing notes payable into
common shares and a new class of preferred shares of Search.

3.  INTEREST INCOME, CONTRACT RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company records contract purchases at cost.  An initial reserve is recorded
for the difference between the remaining contractual finance amount at the time
of acquisition and the acquisition cost.  Contractual finance charges are
initially recorded  to unearned interest and recorded to interest income using
the interest method.  The Company evaluates the impairment of loans based on
contract delinquency and other factors.  Reserves are established for impaired
loans to reduce the net receivable to the lower of collateral value or
estimated net realizable value.  Interest income is not recognized on loans
where concern exists about the collectibility of the account.  Reserve
requirements in excess of the initial reserve are provided, as needed, through
a charge to provision for credit losses.

The recorded investment and related allowance for credit losses is summarized
below:

The above contract maturity amounts should not be regarded as a forecast of
cash collections.  The Company is anticipating repossession rates of 45% to 65%
over the life of the loan portfolio.  Management anticipates that many of the
contracts will be liquidated through repossession proceeds before contract
maturity.  Also, a portion of the loan portfolio could be prepaid before or
extended past the contract maturity date.

The change in the allowance for doubtful collections is summarized as follows:

In the fourth quarter 1994, the Company adopted SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 and has
accordingly restated the earlier 1994 quarters (see Note 4).

Most of the Company's contract receivables are due from individuals in the
major metropolitan areas of Texas and other southern states.  To some extent,
realization of the receivables will be dependent on local economic conditions.
The Company holds vehicle titles as collateral for all contract receivables
until such receivables are paid in full.  The contract receivables are pledged
as collateral for the Company's Notes.

4.  ADJUSTMENT TO THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company elected early adoption of  SFAS 114
and SFAS 118 ("SFAS 114").  This adoption results in the restatement of all
prior interim periods of fiscal 1994 and affects the interest income and loss
provision amounts on the three month and nine months periods ending June 30,
1994.  The accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect
these items.  The effect of the restatement on the results of operations for
the three months and nine months ended June 30, 1994 is as follows:

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

GENERAL

The Company is an industry specific financial services company specializing in
the purchase, management, and securitization of used motor vehicle receivables.
These receivables are secured by medium-priced, used automobiles and light
trucks which typically have been purchased by consumers with substandard credit
histories at retail prices ranging from $5,000 to $10,000.  The Company
purchases these receivables from a network of unaffiliated new and used
automobile dealers (the "Dealer Network") at discounts ranging generally from
40% to 55% of total unpaid installments, which installments include both
principal and interest.  The members of the Dealer Network generate the
receivables and offer them for sale on a non-exclusive basis to the Company.
Members forego some future profit on each receivable sold to the Company in
exchange for an immediate return of their invested capital.

* Effective September 30, 1993, the Company changed its fiscal reporting year
  end to September 30.

Comparison of  Nine Month Periods Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994

The Company purchased 656 contracts during the nine months ended June 30, 1995,
as compared to 2,204 contracts during the nine months ended June 30, 1994.  The
cost of the contracts including Company loan origination fees was $3,062,000
($4,668 per contract) for the nine months ended June 30, 1995, compared to a
cost of $11,025,000 ($5,002 per contract) for the nine months ended June 30,
1994.

For the nine months ended June 30, 1995, the Company had interest revenue of
$1,362,000, compared to $1,416,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1994.
The decrease in interest revenue is due to a decrease in net contract
receivables.

For the nine months ended June 30, 1995, the Company had interest expense of
$1,387,000, compared to $1,263,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1994.
The increase in interest expense is due to an increase in average notes
payable.

The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended June 30, 1995, was
$301,000 compared to $1,883,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1994.  The
decrease in provision is primarily due to improvement in contract performance
and the establishment of an adequate reserve for credit losses in prior
periods.

General and administrative expenses increased from $557,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1994, to $699,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of repossession, vehicle
repair, maintenance expenses, servicing fees, bank, accounting, and attorney
and trustee fees.  Servicing fees are paid to ACAC monthly at the current rate
of $22.30 for each receivable that is not in default.  The increase in general
and administrative expenses is due to increased annual servicing fees and
additional repossessions that occurred during the nine month period ending June
30, 1995 from earlier contract purchases.


Comparison of  Three Month Periods Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994

For the three months ended June 30, 1995, the Company had interest revenue of
$438,000, compared to $510,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994.
Interest revenue decreased due to a decrease in net contract receivables for
the three months ended June 30, 1995.

For the three months ended June 30, 1995, the Company had interest expense of
$464,000, compared to $449,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994.  The
increase in interest expense is due to an increase in amoritization of deferred
offering costs.





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
The provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 1995, was
$35,000 compared to $678,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994.  The
decrease in provision is primarily due to improvement in contract performance
and the establishment of an adequate reserve for credit losses in prior
periods.

General and Administrative expenses increased from $176,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1994 to $226,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1995.  General and administrative expenses increased due to additional
repossessions that occurred during the three month period ended June 30, 1995,
from earlier contract purchases.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company reached minimum subscription amount in August 1993 and began
purchasing contract receivables in September 1993.  The Company had completed
raising the total subscription amount of $10,000,000 by December 1993 and the
Company completed its initial investment of net proceeds of $8,738,000 during
December 1993.  By applying note proceeds, surplus cash collections, and
repossession proceeds, the Company has purchased a total of $16,011,000 in
contract receivables.

The Company's liquidity is a function of, among other things, cash flow from
receivables owned by the Company and Company expenditures.

Based on the collection performance of contracts owned by the Company, it is
currently estimated that the Company will have insufficient sinking fund cash
to pay the holders of the Company's Notes in full at maturity on December 31,
1996.  While the sale or collection of remaining receivables after maturity may
reduce the shortfall, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to obtain a buyer for the receivables and it is likely that the proceeds from
sale or collection will not be sufficient to pay the Noteholders in full.

The Company's projected insufficient cash balance at the maturity date of the
Notes payable on December 31, 1996 will constitute a default at maturity date
under its Indenture agreement with Texas Commerce Bank National Association
("Trustee").  With the occurrence of a default, the Trustee has the option to
sell the Company's assets, to institute judicial proceedings to force complete
or partial foreclosure of the Company, and to take any other appropriate
actions to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee, and the
Company's noteholders.  At the time of default, the collections from assets and
sale proceeds of repossessed vehicles will be applied to the remaining balance
due Noteholders after Trustee fees and expenses.  Trustee expenses can include
servicing, banking, legal, accounting, repossession, repair, liquidation and
taxation expenditures.

When the sinking fund begins on October 1, 1995, the cash provided by
operations and principal payments on contract receivables will be deposited
into a sinking fund trust account and no additional contracts will be
purchased.  The funds in the sinking fund will be invested until maturity at
money market fund rates.

In fiscal year 1993, the Company joined in a pre-existing tax benefits sharing
agreement with Search.  Under the terms of this agreement, the Company is
required to reimburse Search for any income tax payments made by Search on the
Company's behalf and to reimburse Search for the costs accruing to the Company
from any tax losses or credits of Search that are used to offset the taxable
income of the Company.  Search is required to reimburse the Company for
benefits accruing to the other participants in the sharing agreement from any
tax losses or credits of the Company that are used to offset tax payments of
the other participants.

Proceeds from the Company's receivables are restricted to repayment of the
Notes, the payment of interest, the payment of certain allowed expenses,
including servicing fees, and, until commencement of the sinking fund period,
the purchase of additional receivables.  The Notes require interest payments
only until maturity.

Until maturity the difference between collections and interest due each month
is first applied to allowed expenses of the Company (primarily repossession,
repair and maintenance expenses, servicing, investor relations expenses, bank,
accounting, attorney and trustee fees, and income taxes).  Prior to the sinking
fund period, any remaining cash flow is invested in the purchase of additional
receivables.  Servicing and investor relations expenses are an allowed expense
of the Company and are paid to ACAC.  The Company has regularly had surplus
cash flow to invest in additional receivables.  If there is a remaining unpaid
balance on the Notes after maturity, the Notes will be in default, and the Note
Trustee will determine which expenses are reimbursed, including whether the
Company may use contract proceeds to pay servicing, investor relations and
purchasing fees to ACAC.





                                       10

Management is currently pursuing a plan to convert the existing notes payable
into common and preferred shares of Search.  It is anticipated that both the
common and the preferred shares will be fully tradable securities and that the
preferred shares will pay quarterly dividends at 9% per annum.  The plan would
necessitate that the Company file under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy code.  An ad hoc noteholder committee has been formed to determine
the terms of the conversion plan with the Company.  During the period from the
filing of the Chapter 11 petition until the plan is approved by the noteholders
and the Bankruptcy court has issued a final order of confirmation of a
reorganization plan, the Company intends to continue to use Search to service
the Company's receivables until either all of the remaining receivables are
collected and any repossessed vehicles are sold or until the conversion plan is
consummated.  If the plan of reorganization is not approved by the Bankruptcy
Court, the Company may have to seek another company to service the Company's
receivables since Search has indicated that, in the absence of the conversion
of the notes payable into Search common and preferred shares, it may not have
sufficient resources to continue servicing the Company's receivables.

Neither Search nor any subsidiary or affiliate of Search has guaranteed
repayment of the Company's Notes or has any current or future obligation to
support the Company.  Except for the sale and collection of the Company's
receivables, the Company does not anticipate that it will have any other source
of capital to satisfy the Notes.
