                        Notes to Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)

                              September 30, 1996

Note  1.          Basis  of  Presentation

     The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information  and  with  the  instructions  to  Form  10-Q  and  Article  10 of
Regulation  S-X.   Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes  required  by  generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial  statements.    In  the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation  have  been  included.   Operating results for the three and nine
month  periods  ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
results  that  may  be  expected  for  the year ending December 31, 1996.  The
balance  sheet  as  of  December  31,  1995  has been derived from the audited
financial  statements  as  of  that  date  but  does  not  include  all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for  complete  financial  statements.    For further information, refer to the
financial  statements and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on
Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1995.


Note  2.          Pro  Forma  Financial  Data

     Prior to the Company's initial public offering in April 1995, it was an S
Corporation  and  therefore  not  subject to income taxes.  Pro forma data are
therefore presented for 1995 to reflect a provision for income taxes as if the
Company  had  been subject to income taxes at an assumed combined rate of 40%.


Note  3.          Net  Income  Per  Share

     The  net  income  per share amounts for both 1996     periods and for the
three  months  ended  September  30,  1995,  are based on the weighted average
number  of  common  shares  and  dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding
during the periods.  The net income per share amount for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding
increased  by  the number of shares (assumed issued at $17.00 per share) whose
proceeds  would  have  been used to fund distributable S Corporation earnings.


Note  4.          Bank  Line  of  Credit

     During  the  third  quarter  of  1996 the Company obtained a $4.5 million
revolving line of credit with a bank.  Borrowings under the line of credit are
secured  by  repossessions  and purchased and trade automobile inventory.  The
line  of credit bears interest at the bank's prime rate (8.25% as of September
30,  1996)  and  expires  April 30, 1997.  Borrowings under the line were $4.3
million  as  of  September  30,  1996.

THREE  AND  NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, COMPARED TO THREE AND
NINE  MONTH  PERIODS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30,  1995

Revenues

     Interest  and  discount revenue remained flat at $7.0 million in both the
third quarter of 1995 and 1996, and increased from $16.8 million for the first
nine  months  of  1995  to  $20.5  million  for  the same period of 1996.  The
increase  in the first nine months of 1996 over the comparable 1995 period was
due  primarily to a higher level of contracts receivable owned by the Company,
particularly  during  the  early  part  of  1996,  partially offset by a lower
average  yield  on  the  contracts.    As  of  September  30,  1996, contracts
receivable  totaled  $125.2  million  as  compared  to  $124.6  million  as of
September  30,  1995.    The number of active dealers (defined as dealers from
whom  the Company purchased a contract that was outstanding as of the end of a
period)  was  1,460  as  of  September  30,  1996  as  compared to 1,145 as of
September  30,  1995.

     The  average  yield on contracts receivable for the third quarter of 1995
was 24.2% compared to 22.2% for the same period of 1996, and was 24.0% for the
first  nine months of 1995 compared to 21.7% for the same period of 1996.  The
lower  yields  in  both 1996 periods as compared to the same 1995 periods were
due  primarily  to  the  Company's decision, effective May 1995, to enter into
agreements  with  its  dealers  to  apply  the difference, if any, between the
contract  interest  rate and the rate estimated by the Company as necessary to
produce  a  satisfactory  return  on  the  contract, to a dealer participation
reserve  available  for  credit  losses.    The  average  yield  on  contracts
receivable  is expected to remain in the 21-22% range through the end of 1996.

     Ancillary  products  revenue increased from $82,000 for the third quarter
of  1995 to $336,000 for the same period of 1996, or 308.7%, and from $755,000
for the first nine months of 1995 to $1.4 million for the same period of 1996,
or  84.2%.    The  increase  in  the third quarter of 1996 over the comparable
period of 1995 was primarily due to increased net revenues from a secured Visa
credit  card  offered by the Company as co-brander and, to a lesser extent, to
an  increase  in revenues from a warranty program offered by the Company.  The
increase  in  ancillary  products revenue for the first nine months of 1996 as
compared  to  the  same  period of 1995 was due to an increase in net revenues
from  the  secured  Visa  credit  card and to an increase in revenues from the
warranty  program  offered  by  the Company, partially offset by the Company's
decision  to  discontinue offering, effective March 22, 1995, a Gap protection
product  as  a  result  of  regulatory  uncertainties surrounding the product.

     For the first nine months of 1996, the secured Visa credit card, together
with  another  product  with  which  it is packaged, generated net revenues of
approximately  $776,000.    These net revenues were primarily derived from the
sale  of  the  product  package  to  customers  who  currently  have contracts
outstanding  with  the Company.  It is expected that net revenues derived from
the  sale  of  this  product package to customers who currently have contracts
outstanding  with  the  Company  will  be  lower in 1997 than in 1996.  In the
fourth  quarter  of  1996,  the  Company  began marketing a similar program to
consumers who do not have contracts outstanding with the Company.  The success
of  this  program  can  not  yet  be  estimated.

     Other  revenues  increased from $390,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to
$749,000  for  the  same  period  of  1996,  or 91.8%, and increased from $1.1
million  for the first nine months of 1995 to $1.6 million for the same period
of  1996,  of  39.8%.    The  increase  in  the third quarter of 1996 from the
comparable period of 1995 was due to higher gross profit generated by the sale
of  purchased  and  trade inventory at the GAC sales lots, partially offset by
lower  training  fees  earned by the Company.  The increase for the first nine
months  of  1996  from  the  comparable period of 1995 was due to higher gross
profit generated by the sale of purchased and trade inventory at the GAC sales
lots,  and  to  a  $250,000  reduction  in  the  special reserve for losses on
receivables  from a dealer as a result of the reduction of amounts owed to the
Company  by that dealer, partially offset by lower training fees earned by the
Company.   Effective January 1, 1996, the training fee was replaced with a $35
per contract training and processing fee, which is deferred and amortized into
income  over  the  estimated  average  life  of  the  contracts.  The previous
training  fee,  charged  for  new  dealers  in  a  $2,500 lump sum or $100 per
contract  for  the  first 35 contracts, was recognized as income upon receipt.


Expenses

     Interest  expense  increased  from  $1.6 million for the third quarter of
1995  to  $2.2  million  for  the same period of 1996, or 34.9%, and from $4.3
million  for the first nine months of 1995 to $6.7 million for the same period
of  1996,  or  55.5%.    The  increase  in  the third quarter of 1996 over the
comparable  1995  period  was  due  to  the higher average level of borrowings
required  to  fund  the  higher  level  of  contracts  receivable in 1996, and
interest on borrowings under a new bank line of credit closed during the third
quarter of 1996, partially offset by a lower interest rate environment in 1996
as  compared to 1995.  The increase for the first nine months of 1996 over the
comparable  period  of  1995 was due to the higher average level of borrowings
required to fund the higher level of contracts receivable in 1996, an increase
in the interest rate charged by the Company's primary lender for borrowings on
the line of credit from LIBOR plus 3.0% to LIBOR plus 4.0% for the period from
March  15,  1996  to  June 30, 1996, partially offset by a lower interest rate
environment  in  1996  compared  to 1995.  Average borrowings on the Company's
$100.0  million  revolving  line  of  credit with GE Capital (the "Line") were
$76.2  million for the third quarter of 1995 compared to $97.2 million for the
same  period  of  1996,  and  $61.7  million for the first nine months of 1995
compared  to  $97.1  million for the same period of 1996.  As of September 30,
1996,  the interest rate on the Line was LIBOR plus 3.0%, which was equivalent
to  8.43%.   See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information.

     Salaries  and employee benefits increased from $1.4 million for the third
quarter  of  1995  to  $2.3 million for the same period of 1996, or 62.1%, and
from  $3.4  million  for the first nine months of 1995 to $6.6 million for the
same  period  of 1996, or 93.1%.  The increases were due to an increase in the
number  of full time equivalent employees from 227 as of September 30, 1995 to
376  as of September 30, 1996.  The increase in full time equivalent employees
was  attributable  to  the  development  and  staffing of the Company's branch
offices  and  GAC sales lots and, to a lesser extent, to additional management
and  headquarters  support  personnel.

     Marketing  costs increased from $117,000 for the third quarter of 1995 to
$469,000  for  the  same  period of 1996, or 300.1%, and from $360,000 for the
first nine months of 1995 to $982,000 for the same period of 1996, or 173.0%. 
The  increase  in both periods of 1996 over the comparable periods of 1995 was
due  to increased advertising for the GAC sales lots and to increased expenses
associated  with  promoting  the  Company's  secured Visa credit card program.

     The  provision  for  credit  losses increased from $158,000 for the third
quarter of 1995 to $5.5 million for the same period of 1996, and from $723,000
for the first nine months of 1995 to $7.6 million for the same period of 1996.
 In  the third quarter and first nine months of 1995, the provision for credit
losses  consisted entirely of amounts provided for contracts originated at the
GAC  sales  lots.  As there is no discount associated with these contracts, in
order  to develop an allowance for future losses a charge directly to earnings
was  required.    The increase in the provision for credit losses in the third
quarter  and  first  nine  months  of 1996, as compared to the same periods of
1995,  relates primarily to the Company's strategic decision to accelerate the
disposal,  primarily  through  auto  auctions, of a significant portion of its
repossession  inventory,  and  to  a lesser extent, to an additional provision
deemed  necessary  related  to contracts purchased from dealers to restore the
allowance and discount for credit losses to an acceptable level, as well as to
an  increased  volume  of  contracts  originated  by  the GAC sales lots.  The
additional  provision  for credit losses to restore the allowance and discount
for  credit  losses to an acceptable level in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1996 was due primarily to net charge-offs experienced by the Company
during  the third quarter of 1996, which although lower than in prior quarters
of  1996,  were  higher  than  anticipated.

     Until  the  third quarter of 1996 it was the Company's policy to maximize
recoveries  from  its  repossessed  vehicles  by  selling  the majority of the
vehicles  at  retail  through  its  GAC sales lots.  It became apparent in the
third  quarter  of  1996  that the GAC sales lots would not be able to quickly
dispose of the vehicles repossessed earlier in 1996.  In order to more quickly
realize  the  value  of  that  inventory  and  use  the  funds to purchase new
contracts, an initiative was undertaken to dispose of approximately 30% of the
vehicle  inventory  through  wholesale channels before the end of 1996.  While
this  method  will achieve a more rapid disposition of the inventory, proceeds
from  sale  will  also  be  reduced.  The loss provision recorded in the third
quarter reflects management's estimate of the reduced amount anticipated to be
recovered  from  existing  repossession  inventory  that  will  be disposed of
through wholesale channels.  Upon completion of this process by the end of the
fourth  quarter of 1996, the Company intends to retail an increased percentage
of  the  vehicles  it  repossesses through its expanded GAC sales lot network.

     The  credit  quality  of  the Company's portfolio of contracts receivable
continued  to  improve  during  the  third  quarter  as evidenced by lower net
charge-offs  than  in  prior  quarters  of  1996.   This improvement in credit
quality  was  in  part  achieved  by  the tightening of underwriting standards
effective  January 1, 1996. The total available for credit losses as a percent
of  contracts  receivable  was  14.86%  as  of September 30, 1996, compared to
12.07%  as  of  June  30,  1996,  14.29% as of March 31, 1996 and 16.50% as of
December  31,  1995.    Net charge-offs in the third quarter of 1996 were $4.6
million,  compared  to  $6.2  million  in  the second quarter of 1996 and $8.0
million  in  the  first  quarter  of  1996.   The Company's 60-day contractual
delinquency  ratio was 1.67% as of September 30, 1996, compared to 1.68% as of
June  30, 1996, 1.72% as of March 31, 1996, and 3.60% as of December 31, 1995.

     Other  expenses increased from $1.5 million for the third quarter of 1995
to  $1.6  million for the same period of 1996, or 11.1%, and from $3.6 million
for the first nine months of 1995 to $4.4 million for the same period of 1996,
or  23.4%.  The increase in both 1996 periods over the comparable 1995 periods
was  attributable  to  higher costs associated with a larger network of branch
offices  and  GAC  sales lots, including higher rent and depreciation expense.

     As  a result of the foregoing factors, pre-tax income decreased from $2.7
million  for  the  third quarter of 1995 to a ($3.9 million) loss for the same
period  of  1996, and from $6.4 million for the first nine months of 1995 to a
($2.8  million)  loss  for  the  same  period  of  1996.

     Income  tax  expense  was  $1.1  million  for  the  third quarter of 1995
compared to a credit of $1.6 million for the same period of 1996, and was $2.5
million  on  a pro forma basis for the first nine months of 1995 compared to a
credit  of  $1.1 million for the same period of 1996.  In conjunction with the
initial  public  offering  of  its  shares,  the  Company  terminated  its  S
Corporation  status,  and  as  a  result,  became subject to federal and state
corporate income taxation from April 10, 1995 forward.  For both 1996 periods,
the  income tax credit was recorded at a combined federal and state income tax
rate  of  40%.  For the third quarter of 1995, income tax expense was recorded
at  a  combined  federal  and  state  income  tax rate of 40%.  The income tax
expense  recorded  for  the  first nine months of 1995 is the result of a $1.3
million tax credit related to cumulative temporary differences as of April 10,
1995,  partially  offset  by a $737,000 expense representing income taxes at a
combined  federal  and  state income tax rate of 40% for the period from April
10,  1995  through  September  30,  1995.


LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

     The Company's principal need for cash is to fund advances made to dealers
in  connection  with the acquisition of contracts.  Cash used for this purpose
was  $73.5 million for the first nine months of 1995 compared to $61.3 million
for  the  same  period  of 1996.  During 1996, the Company funded its contract
purchases  with  borrowings on the Line.  The Line provides for interest at an
amount  over  the  one-month  LIBOR  rate (which was 5.43% as of September 30,
1996).  This amount was 3.0% through September 30, 1996, except for the period
from March 15, 1996 to June 30, 1996, when it was 4.0%.  Effective October 30,
1996,  the amount increased to 3.75%.  As of September 30, 1996, borrowings on
the  Line  were  $97.7  million.

     During  the  fourth  quarter  of  1995,  the  Company experienced sharply
increased  loan  losses  and  delinquency  rates,  which exceeded certain loan
covenant  requirements.  Accordingly, on January 17, 1996, GE Capital notified
the  Company  of  an  event  of  default under its loan and security agreement
("Agreement").   GE Capital continued to fund the Company under the Line while
the  Company  and GE Capital negotiated a mutually acceptable plan of action. 
On  March  20, 1996, GE Capital and the Company signed a letter agreement (the
"Forbearance  Agreement")  under which, assuming no further events of default,
GE  Capital  agreed  to forbear from exercising its rights under the Agreement
through  December  31,  1996, subject to the Company meeting certain terms and
conditions.    Since  signing  of  the  Forbearance Agreement, the Company has
complied  with  all  its  terms  and  conditions, except that during the first
quarter  of  1996, net charge-offs exceeded maximum permitted levels under the
Forbearance  Agreement.  The higher than permitted net charge-offs were due to
the  Company's  aggressive collection efforts during the first quarter of 1996
which  were successful in producing substantial declines in delinquency rates,
but  resulted  also  in  higher  than anticipated net charge-offs.  GE Capital
provided  the Company with a letter which amends the maximum charge-off levels
in  the  Forbearance  Agreement,  and with which the Company is in compliance.

In  conjunction  with  the Company's initiative to dispose of a portion of its
repossession  inventory through wholesale channels, the Company requested, and
GE  Capital  provided  on  October  29,  1996,  a  letter further amending the
Forbearance  Agreement  to  provide  for  anticipated  fourth  quarter  1996
charge-offs which would have otherwise exceeded permitted levels.  As a result
of  the  amendment  to  the  Forbearance  Agreement, GE Capital has elected to
continue  the  Forbearance  Agreement,  which  runs through December 31, 1996,
rather  than  amending and increasing the Line, and as a result, the Company's
growth  will  be  curtailed  into  the first quarter of 1997 while the Company
works  toward  its  first securitization.  Based on the aforementioned funding
limitations,  the  Company  expects  that its contracts receivable will remain
near  current  levels  during  the  fourth  quarter of 1996 and into the first
quarter  of  1997.    If the Company and GE Capital do not agree on a mutually
acceptable  loan  agreement  to  supersede  the  Agreement and the Forbearance
Agreement, and if the Company is not successful in completing a securitization
of  a  portion  of  its  contracts  receivable, there is no assurance that the
Company  will  be  successful  in  locating  additional  financing.

     As  a  result  of  the  Company's increased collection efforts during the
first nine months of 1996, repossession inventory grew from $5.2 million as of
December  31,  1995  to $11.4 million as of September 30, 1996, an increase of
$6.2  million.    Repossession  inventory is expected to decline significantly
during  the  fourth  quarter  of  1996  as  a result of an acceleration in the
Company's  sales  efforts,  both  retail  and  wholesale.  In August 1996, the
Company  obtained  a  $4.5  million  revolving  line  of  credit with a bank. 
Borrowings  under the line are secured by repossession and purchased and trade
automobile  inventory.   The line of credit bears interest at the bank's prime
rate  (8.25% as of September 30, 1996) and expires April 30, 1997.  Borrowings
under  the  line  were  $4.3  million  as  of  September  30,  1996.

On  October 15, 1996, the Company borrowed $1.0 million from Malvin L. Algood,
its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a significant shareholder.  The loan
is  unsecured,  and  bears  interest  at  12% per annum.  Although the loan is
payable  upon demand, Mr. Algood's intention is to not request repayment until
such  time as the Company has completed the securitization of a portion of its
contracts  receivable  portfolio.    Subsequent  to  the  date of the loan, in
conjunction  with  the October 29, 1996 amendment to the Forbearance Agreement
granted  by GE Capital, Mr. Algood agreed to subordinate repayment of the note
to  GE Capital  until the earlier of (i) the completion of a securitization of
a  portion  of  the  Company's  contracts  receivable  portfolio,  or (ii) the
execution  of  a  new  loan  agreement  between  the  Company  and GE Capital.

                                Exhibit 10.66



<PAGE>
     REVOLVING  LOAN  &  SECURITY  AGREEMENT

     This Revolving Loan & Security Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as
of the 27th day of August, 1996 by and between GENERAL ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION,
an  Indiana  corporation  ("GAC"), and FIFTH THIRD BANK OF CENTRAL INDIANA, an
Indiana  banking  corporation  ("Bank").

     1.            Definitions.  Certain capitalized terms have the meanings
set  forth  on Exhibit A hereto.  All financial terms used in this Agreement
but not defined in Exhibit A or in this Agreement have the meanings given to
them  by  generally accepted accounting principles.  All other undefined terms
have  the  meanings  given  to  them  in  the Indiana Uniform Commercial Code.

     2.                    Revolving  Credit  Loans.

               (a)  In General.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
Bank  hereby  extends  to GAC a line of credit facility (the "Facility") under
which  Bank  may  make  loans (each, a "Revolving Loan," and collectively, the
"Revolving Loans") to GAC at GAC's request, from time to time, during the term
of the Facility in a principal amount not to exceed $4,500,000 (the "Limit"). 
However,  Bank  will have discretion at all times as to whether or not to make
any Revolving Loan.  Bank may create and maintain reserves, from time to time,
based  on  such  credit  and  collateral  considerations  as  Bank  may  deem
appropriate.  GAC may borrow, prepay (without penalty or charge), and reborrow
under the Facility so long as the Limit is not exceeded, GAC is not in Default
hereunder,  and  the  other terms and conditions hereof are satisfied.  If the
amount  of  Revolving Loans outstanding at any time under the Facility exceeds
the Limit, GAC will immediately pay the amount of such excess to Bank in cash.

               (b)    Borrowing  Base  Formula.    On  the tenth day of each
calendar  month  during the term of the Facility (or the next Business Day, if
such day falls on other than a Business Day), GAC shall complete and submit to
Bank  and GECC a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form of Exhibit B1 hereto
indicating,  among  other things, the aggregate average "Black Book" wholesale
value  of  its  Eligible  Inventory  and  the  number of units comprising such
inventory.    Subject  at  all  times  to the unused portion of Limit, GAC may
request  Revolving  Loans  under  the  Facility  according to a borrowing base
advance  formula  that limits any requested Revolving Loan to a maximum amount
equal  to  fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate average "Black Book" wholesale
value  of  such  Eligible  Inventory  plus  $400  per  unit for reconditioning
expense.

               (c)   Term of Facility.  The maturity date of the Facility is
April 30, 1997, unless such maturity date is accelerated by reason of an Event
of  Default.

               (d)    Interest  Rate.  Interest on the outstanding principal
balance  of  the  Facility  will accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Prime
Rate  as  in  effect from time to time.  The interest rate charged will change
automatically upon each change in the Prime Rate.  Interest will be calculated
on  the  basis of a year of 360 days and charged for the actual number of days
elapsed.    Interest  will  be  payable  in immediately available funds at the
principal  office  of  Bank  on  the  first day of each calendar month.  After
maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and after the occurrence of an
Event  of  Default  (with or without notice to GAC), interest will accrue at a
rate  per  annum  equal to the Default Rate (computed and adjusted in the same
manner  as  the  Prime  Rate).

               (e)   Repayment.  Accrued and unpaid interest will be due and
payable  on  the  first  day  of  the  calendar  month following execution and
delivery  of  this  Agreement  by  GAC and continuing on the first day of each
calendar  month  thereafter  during  the  term  of  the  Facility.  The unpaid
principal  balance of the Facility and accrued and unpaid interest will be due
and  payable  on  the maturity date of the Facility.  Bank may, at its option,
charge any interest payments to GAC's account with Bank.  Interest that is not
paid  when due shall thereupon become principal hereunder and shall thereafter
accrue  interest  as  provided  in  this  Agreement.  If any scheduled payment
hereunder  becomes  due  and  payable  on a day other than a Business Day, the
maturity  thereof will be extended to the next Business Day, and interest will
be payable at the rate provided in this Agreement during the extension period.

               (f)   Application of Payments.  All payments received by Bank
will  be  applied  first to Advances, second to accrued interest, and third to
principal.

               (g)    Revolving  Loan Requests.  GAC may request a Revolving
Loan  by written or telephone notice to Bank.  If such request is by telephone
notice  to  Bank,  GAC  shall  promptly  follow-up  the  telephone  notice  by
completing  and delivering to Bank an Advance Request Confirmation Certificate
in the form of Exhibit B2 hereto.  Eligibility of GAC for any Revolving Loan
will  be  made  on  the  basis  of the then current Borrowing Base Certificate
submitted by GAC pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Agreement and the amount, if
any, of the unused portion of the Limit at the time the request is made.  Bank
may  make  Revolving Loans by crediting the amount thereof to GAC's account at
Bank.

     3.               Collateral.  In order to secure the performance of the
covenants  and  agreements contained herein and the payment and performance of
all amounts owed by GAC to Bank hereunder, whether now existing or hereinafter
arising  (collectively,  the  "Obligations"),  GAC  hereby  grants  to  Bank a
continuing security interest in the collateral described in Exhibit C hereto
(collectively,  the  "Collateral").

the  same  for  sale  or  resale  in  the  ordinary  course of GAC's business.

               (b)    GAC  will  keep  its  Motor Vehicle Inventory subject to
inspection  by  Bank  at all reasonable times, and to pay Bank for any and all

               (c)    if  any  of  the Motor Vehicle Inventory is evidenced or
represented  by  a document of title, Bank may, at its discretion, require GAC
to  deliver  that  document  of  title  to  Bank.

               (d)    prior  to the occurrence of an Event of Default, GAC may

               (e)   GAC will keep accurate records pertaining to each unit of
the  Motor  Vehicle Inventory in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and to furnish Bank, from time to time, upon Bank's request, a true

to  verify  GAC's  financial  condition  or  existence.

               (f)    the  risk  of  loss  or  damage  to  GAC's Motor Vehicle
Inventory  shall at all times be on GAC, who agrees to hold Bank harmless from
any  loss  resulting  therefrom.    Insurance  proceeds may be applied by Bank
towards  payment  of  the  Obligations,  whether  or not due, in such order of
application  as  Bank  may  determine, and no insurance coverage or payment of
proceeds  thereof  shall  otherwise  relieve  GAC from any of the Obligations.

     18.           Filing.  GAC agrees to execute and deliver such financing
statements,  amendments  thereto,  supplements thereto or other instruments as
Bank  may,  from  time  to  time,  require  in order to preserve, protect, and

condition.  All amounts so extended by Bank shall be added to the Obligations,

statute.    Bank may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by an action at

part  of  Bank to enforce any of the rights hereunder shall be deemed a waiver
of  such  rights  or  of  any  Event  of Default and no waiver of any Event of
Default  hereunder  will  be  deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent Event of
Default.    Any  written  notice  required  to  be  given to GAC, if mailed by

parties  and  no  oral  Agreement  whatsoever,  whether made contemporaneously

laws  of  the State of Indiana, except to the extent laws governing perfection
and  the effect of perfection or nonperfection and remedies against Collateral
located  outside  of  the  State  of  Indiana  may  be  mandatorily effective.

               (e)    Any  provision  herein  which  may  prove  limited  or

meaning  given  to  such  terms  in  the  Agreement.

Borrower  has  informed  Lender  of  its  desire to liquidate its repossession
inventory on an accelerated basis.  The accelerated liquidation of the subject
inventory  will  cause  Borrower  to exceed the maximum charge-off covenant as
defined  in  the  Agreement.    Conditioned  upon Borrower's acceptance of the
following  terms  and  conditions,  Lender is willing to amend the Forbearance
charge-off  covenant  as outlined on the attached Exhibit E.  Upon acceptance,
Exhibit E of the Forbearance will be deleted in its entirety and a new Exhibit
E  (attached hereto) will be substituted therefore.  Borrower has accepted the
following  conditions  precedent  to  Lender's  amendment  of  the  charge-off
covenant:

1.          Section  2.4  of the Agreement, General Interest Rate, is hereby
amended  to  read  as  follows:

     "2.4  General  Interest  Rate.    Except as modified by Section 2.6 and
15.2,  the  Loan  shall
bear interest, calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year, at a per annum
rate  equal  to three and three quarters percent (3.75%) plus the LIBOR Rate."

           The  change in the interest rate shall be effective upon acceptance
of  this  letter.

2.          The loan from M. L. Algood ("Algood") to Borrower in the amount of
$1,000,000,  as  evidenced  by  the  Promissory  Note  between  Mr. Algood and
Borrower dated October 15, 1996, will be subordinated in all material respects
to Borrower's loan payable to Lender.  The subordination will remain in effect
until  the  earlier  occurrence  of  either  of  the  following  events:


i.          Borrower reduces its loan obligation to Lender below the amount of
$55,000,000;  or

ii.          Borrower and Lender negotiate and execute a new Loan and Security
Agreement.

     Upon  acceptance  of  this  letter,  Lender  will prepare a subordination
agreement  for
execution  by Algood.  The subject subordination agreement must be executed no
later  than
November  8,  1996.

3.        Should Borrower reduce the loan balance to Lender below $55,000,000,
then Lender will have the right to review and approve any bulk acquisitions of
accounts  in  excess  of  $1,000,000.

All  other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in
full  force  and  effect.

                         Very  truly  yours,

                         GENERAL  ELECTRIC  CAPITAL  CORPORATION
